Malta and Gibraltar.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO
BURLEIGH.
The time arranged for her Majesty's departure from
the Euston-square terminus was a quarter-past nine
lan Tuesday morning. With her usual punctuality she
*tired at the station exactly at the appointed hour.
The usual preperations had been duly made for the
r ception of the royal travellers. They were received
ill the state room by G. C. Glyn, Esq., chairman of
the company ; J. J. Jedrum, Esq., deputy-chairman ;
- T. young, Esq., P. S. L. Grenfell, Esq., Directors ;
Creed, Esq., the secratary, and the other principal
functionaries of the railway.
The train was driven by Mr. Berry, and soon pro-
ceeded at a tremendous speed, flying over the country
• y and the several stations at a glorious rate.
The morning was dark and lowering, a heavy wet
fog rolling in wreaths over the fields and clumps of
leafless trees, and everything certainly looking cold
and cheerless enough.
At Tring the train stopped for water. A consi-
derable number of persons had collected at the st ition,
and a perfect legion of children, drawn, we suppose,
from all the schools in the neighbourhood, were
ranged in two long lines along the platform, and kept
up a series of shrill juvenile hurrahs. The distance
from London to Tring was performed in about fifty-
four minutes.
• Al the royal travellers approached Bletchley, the
weather began to clear up, the distant mist rose from
the ground, and presently the sun shone forth merrily.
At Wolverton there was a strong muster of spec-
tators, consisting chiefly of the workmen stationed
On that part of the line, with their wives and fa-
milies, and her Majesty and the Prince were loudly
greeted as the train shot past.
On the portion of the line between Wolverton and
Weedon, a good many spectators had stationed them-
selves—farmers, their wives, and labourers in their
smock-frocks, clustered together in little groups at
gates where cross lanes intersected the railroad, and
from every such party there was a momently-heard
shout, and a momently-seen flutter of handkerchiefs,
. and then they were left far behind. Roade station,
thronged with anxious groups, was soon passed, and
then 131isworth, and then came Weedon, the town
and the station gay with flags and triumphal arches.
• Animmense crowd thronged the little station, dis-
posed in every available position, and cheered most
heartily as the royal train arrived. Outside the station
Were drawn up the 47th Regiment, lining the road
through the village, and an escort of the 7th Hussars
was disposed in due order. The road leading through
the straggling little hamlet was seen mounted by
several very pretty triumphal arches, and the inha-
bitants were ranged in a double line, dressed in all
--the variations of rural dandyism, every third or fourth
man holding a little leaf-crowned banner; the whole
presenting a really very pretty array.
Her Majesty and the Prince were received by the
• Marquis of Exeter Lord Lieutenant of the county ;
. Sir H. Dryden, High Sheriff; and the county ma-
gistrates.
After a brief delay the royal party entered their
• carriage—the Hussars formed around it—the infantry
presented arms, and amid the enthusiastic cheering of
,the multitude, and the merry peals of the bells, the
royal cortege drove rapidly off towards Northampton.
The activity and general bustle of preparation in
the town of Northampton for the last few days were
such as to prove that the inhabitants of that ancient
borough were by no means behind hand with their
. fellow-subjects elsewhere in devotion to their Queen,
and in a just appreciation of the honour and advan-
• tage conferred upon their town by the presence of
the Sovereign. In every thoroughfare through which
,it was anticipated that the procession would pass,
workmen were busily employed in constructing scaf-
folding, and fitting up windows and balconies for the
accommodation of those who would, no doubt, con-
gregate from all the neighbouring parts of the coun-
try, to enjoy a sight which to them must be as rare,
as it could not fail to be delightful, and even in those
localities which presented no opportunity of partici
gating in the general gala, the residents were at least
enabled to gratify their loyalty and taste by deco-
rating their house fronts with appropriate ornaments
and gratulatory devices.
Shortly after leaving Northampton, the day became
again overcast, and continued dull and heavy.
Bullock's Booth was the first stage—it consists of
—Ti4l old public-house and a few cottages. The inhabi-
tants had turned out right loyally, with flags and
;vands, and a tremendously loud brass band. The
brief stay afforded time for the usual demonstrations
of loyalty, and the cortege proceeded.
At Meldon the horses of the Marquis of Exeter
were stationed to convey the royal party the stage
between that and Stamford, and at Wakerly-ford 800
of the tenantry of the Noble Marquis, well mounted,
were ready, and escorted her Majesty and her noble
host to the conclusion of the journey.
At Stamford, as everywhere else, the most devoted
loyalty and attachment was manifested in every way.
'among the company who will be entertained this
day at Burleigh-house, are the Duke and Duchess of
Bedford, the Duke of Rutland, Lord and Lady
Thomas emit, Lord and Lady C. Wellesley, Lord
f
and Lady Willoughby, &c. &c.
At a quarter before one o'clock a salvo of artillery
rol'n the castle walls announced the appearance of the
IRoyal
, cortege at some little distance, and within a
tell minutes afterwards Queen Victoria and her illus-
-110113 Consort arrived.
The procession having been formed, with the clergy
and the Corporation in the rear, then preceded the
Queens carriage up Black Lion-hill, Ware-fair,
Ilorse-market, and Gold-street, to the Market-square.
Here the cortege halted, and the Mayor read the ad-
dress, which appeared in The Sun of Monday last.
her Majesty acknowledged it in a few appro-
priate and expressive words. The procession having
been again got in motion advanced along the Market-
square and passed down Abingdon-street, on the road
to Burleigh. Here, as on the previous parts of her
route, her Majesty's admiration must have been ex-
cited by the taste and variety of the decorative
?I,'signia displayed.. Scarcely a single house along
the whole line, extending upwards of a mile, but was
enlivened by flags with loyal mottoes, transparencies,
.hearing inscriptions of devotion and attachment, or
wreaths of evergreens suspended from the opposite
aides of the street. The royal visit was also celebrated
by the erection of five lofty and very elegantly de-
signed triumphal arches, chequered and festooned
- with various lively colours. •
In the evening a dinner in celebration'of the happy
event of the day took place at the Angel Inn. The
Mayor was in the chair, and was supported by the
clergy and gentry of the neighbourhood. After the
dinner, which was an excellent substantial repast
served in good style, the company proceeded to do
honour to the several toasts proposed to them.
STAMFORD, SIX O'CLOCK.—The royal party have
arrived at Burleigh-house. All along the route from
Northampton her Majesty has been received with the
most loyal demonstrations.
The peasantry mustered in great force at every
available point along the road, and every little village
had its triumphal arch—its flaunting colours, and its
evergreen-decked windows and roofs.

HEROIC RESCUE.—On Saturday, during the 1
heavy rain that was falling, a boy named Ackland,
those parents reside at Lee, next Lewisham, fell into
the river Lea, at the back of the Eltham-road, and was
carried down by the land flood about 1,000 feet to the
- bridge which separates the parishes of Lee and Lewisham,
. when Mr. Abraham Owen, jun., whose shop adjoins the
bridge, saw the boy floating above the bridge, and im-
• mediately ran out, and leaped over the wall into the
river, the waters of which nearly touched the roof of
the arch of the bridge, and before he could seize hold of
the boy he was carried through the arch about fifty feet,
and with much difficulty reached the opposite bank. In
this situation, however, he was still determined to save
young Ackland, if possible, from the jaws of death, and
as the boy floated through the arch, he dashed once more
Into the stream and succeeded in bringing him to the
bank. Upwards of 100 persons had followed the course
of the river, and were calling aloud " Save him! Save
him!" Some humane persons assisted Mr. Owen, and
conveyed him and the lad to a druggist's at Lewisham,
and Dr. Brown's assistant (Mr. J. Haynes) attended,
and ultimately restored them to a state of sensibility.
Tha bay was removed to his parents' roof, and is now
doing well.
ALL laLtow FAut.—This annual cattle market
will be formally opened this forenoon by the magis-
trates. Up to yesterday afternoon only one or two lots
had reached the fair ground at Gorgie Mains, but a
large amount of stock was expected to be forwarded by
the morning, and holders of stock are sanguine of realis-
ing good prices.—Edinburgh Advertiser of Tuesday.

RESOURCES OF INDIA-IRON

ORE, &c.
We have heard that some of the superabundant
wealth of this country is likely to be appropriated
to the development of a vast field of enterprise in
the Suuth 3f India. Some of the provinces in that
part of the country abound in Iron ores of various
kinds, of the richest and purest descriptions known :
wood' charcoal, for fuel, may be had, in inexhaus-
tible quantities, for the cost of cutting, and making
it. Labour of all kinds is procurable in abundance ;
cheaper than in any other country : and the facilities
for transport of materials, are such as will admit of
Iron being manufactured there, at a cost, far below
that at which Iron can be made at any other part of
the world.
We understand that this is not a merely specula-
tive project. A small Association of Gentlemen in
India, engaged in the prosecution of it, some years
ago ; and by their labours, and at their cost, re-
sults of unexampled value have been established;
but the nature of their Association was
far too limited, and the capital they could
afford to embark in the undertaking altoge-
ther inadequate, to enable them to make more than a
mere demonstration of facts. The local Indian Go-
vernment, under the sanction of the East India Com-
pany, impressed with the value, in a public point of
view, of the objects of this Association, has granted
them considerable pecuniary assistance, and has con-
veyed to them rights and privileges, which with those
obtained from private proprietors of land, give them
complete, and exclusive possession of all the materials
for Iron making in these provinces.
A large set of Iron Works has been erected by this
Company near Madras, which is now in active opera •
Lion, with all the improvements recently introduced
into the manufacture of Charcoal Iron on the Conti-
nent of Europe; the difficulties they had to contend
with, at the commencement, have been gradually
surmounted ; and the extraordinary character of the
Indian Iron has been fully established: a proof of
this is afforded by the recent purchase, after pre-
vious trial, of several hundred tons of? it, by one
of the first English Iron masters, for conversion into
tin plate. With the improvements now in the course
of introduction at their Works in India, there is now
no doubt that Iron may be made there, and sold at a
very large profit, for the consumption of the whole of
the markets of Asia, so as to supersede foreign im-
portations ; and that it can be disposed of, in this
country at a great profit, to replace the produce of
Sweden, and Russia, for conversion into Steel; and
for use in all purposes, where a superior quality of
Iron is required.
The recent enormous development of railway con-
structions has created a demand for a description of
Iron which England does not produce. The smelt-
ing of Iron ore with charcoal in England is now
limited to a few hundred tons a year; and the price
of foreign charcoal Iron of good quality, is too high
to admit of its use in this country, for Iron purposes.
Indian charcoal Iron, of a quality equal to the finest
foreign Iron, can be delivered in England, at a cost,
not exceeding that of common English coke Iron;
while its value, for use, as Iron, is at least double that
of the best coke Iron.
All that is now required to realise these statements,
we are assured, is the application of sufficient
capital; and at a time when railway projects, hold-
ing out expectations of moderate returns, are so
eagerly sought after, it is expected that the attention
of capitalists will soon be attracted to an undertaking,
the succ •;s of which, when vigorously prosecuted, is
now placed beyond a doubt; and the profits from
which will so greatly exceed those of any other project
now offered for public participation.
The original Projectors of this undertaking being
now satisfied of the utter incompetency of their means
to occupy the gigantic field of enterprise in their pos-
session, in an efficient manner, have agreed to place
the whole, on most favourable terms, in the hands of
a public Company, who can bring to the prosecution
of it a capital commensurate with its importance.
As this neighbourhood contains the largest Iron
Works in the kingdom, the above information will, we
presume, be of more than ordinary interest,—

ITN IViiIRSIT 1r OF EDINBURGH.—The winter session
of the University opened on Monday, when an admirable
introductory lecture was delivered by the venerable
Principal Lee, in the presence of a crowded and most
respectable audience. Since then all the professors have
opened their classes. We are happy to announce that
the number of students matriculated during-the first five
days of the session exceeds the number of the corre-
sponding period of last session by 119, this excess being
divided almost equally between the Facult;es of arts
and medicine. The law classes are not yet opened, and
the students of divinity are enrolled separately at the
Theological Library.—Caledonian Mercury.
DOVER, Nov. 12.—A fall of the cliff, near the

regret to state, destroyed a cottage tenanted by a poor
man of the name of Hart, and killed two of his children,
aged eight and twelve years. The fall is attributed to
the late heavy rains.—His Grace the Duke of Welling-
ton and the Commissioners of Dover Harbour will hold
a sessions here on Thursday next.

FIRE AT CROYDOII.—A fire took place at Croydon
on Tuesday night, on the premises of Mr. Harris, a
tailor and outfitter, residing in the High-street, which
but for its timely discovery might have been at-
tended by the loss of the lives of the whole of the in-
mates, consisting of Mr. Harris, his wife, and a female
servant, who, as it was, were only enabled to make
their escape, almost in a state of nudity, by means of a
ladder placed against their bed-room windows. It ap-
pears that between eleven and twelve o'clock a neigh-
bour's servant was passing the house, when she heard a
sound like the crackling of fire in the shop, and she im-
mediately gave an alarm, when it was discovered that
the shop was all in flames. Every endeavour was then
made for upwards of ten minutes, by knocking at the
door and various other means, to awaken the inmates -of
the house, but without effect. The fire was in the mean-
time rapidly increasing, and at length a ladder was pro-
cured and placed up to the window, and a young taan
named Chandler, who is in the service of a butcher in
the town, ascended, and forced his way into the room,
and actually awakened the inmates, who were at this
time still asleep, and unconscious of danger. All means
of egress by the lower part of the house was at this time
completely cut off, and Mr. Harris, his wife, and the
servant, were compelled to descend the ladder, which they
di d without any injury, and then took refuge in the house
of a neighbour. The police, and a good many other
persons, had arrived by this time, and there being a
plentiful supply of water, the ravages of the fire were
confined to the shop and the lower part of the premises,
which, however, with a good deal of stock, were almost
entirely destroyed. The property is insured in one of
the London fire-offices.

THE APPROACHING POLISH would soon arrive, he hoped in God, when those noble
BALL AT GUILDHALL. and patriotic heroes would be possessed of their country.
Mr. Hour made a few observations on the glad anti-
cipations of the success of the ball, and the Committee
adjourned.
---

Yesterday a very full meeting of the Committee
appointed to superintend the arrangements for the grand
ball and concert, to be given on the 19th instant, at the
Guildhall, took place. Deputy Peacock in the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN rejoiced to communicate to the Com-
mittee that they had every prospect of a most prosperous
issue to their labours on the forthcoming occasion.
Lord DUDLEY STUART said he felt great pleasure in
seeing so full an attendance at the Committee, and was
very happy to congratulate them on the prospects before
them of a most successful ball. He had received on all
hands, both in the west-end of the town and in the City,
assurances of support the most encouraging The long
list of distinguished persons who had signified their de-
sire to patronise the ball, headed by the illustrious lady
who never failed them, her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Kent, and graced by such names as the Duke and
Duchess of Sutherland, Lord and Lady Wharncliffe,
Lord and Lady Stanley, Lord and Lady John Russell,
and not least in importance Sir Robert and Lady Sale—
(Clieers)—was evidence of the favour with which their
undertaking was regarded by persons in high stations of
different parties; and though, even last year, they had
met with such kind assistance from the public, as had
ultimately produced a most satisfactory result, he per •
ceived, this year, amongst all classes, a still greater in-
terest in the object in view, and still greater readiness
to come forward to promote it. This he attributed
partly to the improved condition of the country, trade
being generally less depressed, and partly to the circum-
stance of the Polish cause being better understood, in
consequence of its having attracted a greater share of
public attention. This had no doubt been one effect of
the recent visit to this country of the Emperor of Russia.
However that might be, the friends of Poland had before
them the prospect if being enabled to derive the greatest
advantage from the liberality of the Court of Common
Council, which by granting to them the use of the Guild •
hall, would be found to have afforded them the means of
carrying on their labours in behalf of the brave and un-
fortunate men, now, reduced to destitution in conse-
quence of their resolute attachment to their country and
of their defence of its rights. It was impossible for him
(Lord Dudley Stuart) adequately to express his appre-
ciation of the important boon thus conferred on the
Poles and their friends ; but he thought it no wonder
that the Corporation of London, ever famous in his-
tory as the friends and champions of liberty, should feel
sympathy for men who were sufferers in its cause ;—no
wonder that they could not bear to leave them without
bread, and without a home in the midst of their busy
and flourishing city ; no wonder that when a mode was
pointed out of relieving them, without detriment in any
way to the interests of other claimants, they should wil-
lingly adopt it. Far be it from me (said Lord Dudley
Stuart), as far, I am sure, it is from the wish of any of
those with whoin I have the honour to act, to turn from,
or undervalue the claims of our own poor. I believe
that the humble individual now addressing you—l be-
lieve that the members of the Association to which I
belong, cannot be charged with indifference to the suffer-
ings of their own countrymen—and that we are at least as
ready as other people to contribute to their relief. We
have not come into the City seeking to divert the benevo-
lence of the citizens from other channels, or to intercept
assistance, which but for us would be bestowed on the
destitute of our own country ; but we have sought to
employ, for a benevolent purpose that, which, to all ap-
pearance would, but for us, not be used at all. For
some time past there has been a Polish Ball at Guildhall
almost every year; but there have been years when the
necessities of the Poles not requiring it, we have for-
borne from asking for the Hall ; for we have no desire
to take undue advantage of the generosity of the public,
or to collect more money than is absolutely required. In
those years we have no. seen the Hall employed for
any other charitable purpose ; but it has stood empty.
We have never competed for it with any other charitable
association ; and when our petition was presented to the
Court of Common Council last week you heard a mem-
ber of the Court of Common Council make this state-
ment :—That when some years ago the Association of
the Friends of Poland were about to ask for the Hall, a
report was circulated that the Committee of the Greville-
street Infirmary wished to obtain it for that institution ;
that on that occasion I w aited on him, as a member of
the Committee of the Infirmary, accompanied by some
of my colleagues, and inquired whether there really was
any foundation for the report, stating, at the same time,
that if so, we should not think of standing in the way
of the Infirmary, and that, on the contrary, we should
be ready to do anything in our power to promote its
success. His answer was, that there was no intention of
asking for the Hall for that Institution ; and we then
presented our petition, which was granted.—(Hear.)
We have not heard this year that any other parties were
ready to take the Hall and employ it to advantage. The
entertainments given here are not conducted to a suc-
cessful termination without much preparation, or without
great and sustained exertion. This we had made ; and
being prepared to make the Hall conducive to a purpose
which we were confident was good, and finding that there
were no other persons in a similar situation, we came
forward with the petition to which it has been the plea-
sure of the Court generously to accede. The ball, then,
which will be given, will interfere with no other charity,
will form a magnificent entertainment for those
who attend it, and will cause at least as much
money to be circulated amongst the tradesmen of
this City as will be devoted to the relief of
the Po'es. The funds collected in this manner
are employed in relieving the sick among the refugees.
and those who are the victims of accident and other
Casualties, in enabling others to proceed to foreign coun-
tries, in assisting some to procure employment, and in
providing for the wants of those who have no other re-
source, by granting them allowances which, in every
case, were of very small amount. It is our constant aim
to repress misconduct, to discourage idleness, and to pro-
mote industry ; and in this we have not been without
success—many are usefully and honourably employed, end
though individual instances of misconduct may doubtless
be pointed to amongst the Poles, as amongst all large
bodies of men, I am not afraid to say that on the
whole, they conduct themselves well ; and I doubt if
any other set of men in a similar situation would be
found to conduct themselves so well, although the whole
number of the Poles in this country has within the last
five or six years, been very materially reduced (for, in
1838, it reached nearly 700, and now amounts scarcely
to 500), the number of those depending exclusively on
the Association for support (which had also diminished)
has, since last year, been somewhat augmented. The
chief cause of this is the following:—Some months ago a
Russian man-of-war, bound for Kamschatka, was driven
into Portsmouth by stress of weather ; on board of her
were a number of Poles, who had been compelled
to serve as sailors
and were destined to become in-
habitants of Siberia. On finding themselves in
a British harbour, they took advantage of that glorious
privilege, which is common to the white as well as to
,
the black slave fortunate enough to reach our shores,
and escaped from the service into which they had been
forced.—(Loud cheers.) Some of them have since
entered on board British merchantmen, and others have
found different employments, but they have not all been
so fortunate, and some are still without work. Some
others who, escaping from Russia, had obtained leave to
remain a certain time in Prussia, on the expiry of the
time prescribed found themselves reduced to the alter-
native of returning to the Russian dominions, or of taking
ship from Hamburgh for England. What would have been
their fate had they decided to return may be inferred
from the treatment experienced within the last two
months by
racter and exemplary piety, who having ventured to
a Polish clergyman, of unimpeachable cha-
proceed from Prussia into that part of Poland now
under Russia, was immediately seised, and condemned
to receive 150 lashes from the knout. Russia boasts
that she has no capital punishments ; but the knout,
severely applied, answers all the purpose of the gallows;
and at the 147th blow the wretched man expired 1 A
report has been circulated that the Emperor of
Russia has this year published a general amnesty,
and some people ask why the Poles do not
return to their country. Without stopping to dis-
cuss the motives which might prevent them from avail-
ing themselves of it, if it existed, it is important you
should know that this amnesty is wholly imaginary.
There has been no amnesty ; and the only foundation
for the report is this :—About a down Poles residing
here petitioned for leave to make submission to the
Emperor, and to return to Poland. It was accorded to
five ; and who and what were they who received this
mark of imperial indulgence ? All persons of infamous

It was perhaps unnecessary to enter into such details in

of the Poles impressed on them ; but, seeing
many members in the room who had joined the Com-
mittee for the first time, he (Lord Dudley Stuart) had
thought that the statements he had laid before them
might not be uninteresting, and that they would tend to
confirm them in their conviction of the soundness of
the cause in which they had engaged.--(Loud cheers.)
This year of 1844 (continued his Lordship) will long be
memorable in the eyes of the Poles, in consequence of
the marks of sympathy they have received from the
British public—greater, perhaps, and more striking,
than any they have ever before received. In this year
they have seen the leading members of our aristocracy
employed for the purpose of relieving Polish distress,
undisturbed by the presence of the Autocrat himself, and
deterred by no slavish fear of their benevolent exertions
being met by imperial frowns ; but there is no. sym-
pathy more grateful to the Poles than that which has
always been so generously awarded them—the sympathy
cheer citizens of the Corporation of London. It is most
a position—those on whom the eyes of the

passion of that monarch ; and the fate of the clergyman
alluded to by Lord Dudley Stuart would, without the
shadow of a doubt, be visited upon those who would en-

THE GRESITAM LECTURES.

NOMY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—l read with pleasure your remarks, contained in
your journal of Monday last, under the head of " Mis-
cellaneous," respecting the course of lectures now
delivering in the Gresham College, Basinghall-street,
and am not all surprised at your burst of honest indig-
nation when you designate them as "mere farces;" but
you should, I think, have gone a little further, and
pointed out the cause. The fact is—that these lectures
are appointed to be delivered at twelve and one o'clock
in the day, the most inconvenient hours that could pos-
sibly have been fixed upon, and it is well known that
scarcely any onuotends, and the lectures, when deli-
vered, are hurried over, in a most monotonous manner,
to empty benches. I repeat when delivered, for should
it happen when the hour arrives that no person is
present, the door is shut, and the noble minded lecturer
calmly walk% away, with the lecture unopened in his
pocket, no doubt well pleased in attributing it to the
apathy of the public.
I am really astonished how any man with a spark of
talent or right feeling can satisfy his own mind by going
through such a tame, dull duty, and receiving 1001. a
year for this farce. Ido sincerely hope that the time is
not far distant when these lectures will be made as useful
as they ought to be, and which was evidently the design
of the benevolent founder that they should be.
Now let us for a moment turn to the course of lectures
delivered in the same hall by E. Taylor, Esq., the very
talented Gresham professor of music. These are deli-
vered in the evening, and are always well attended, and
the deep interest excited by a numerous and respectable
audience, and the delight manifested by all present, is a
proof, if any were wanting, that if the other lectures
were delivered at the same hour, and the lecturers were
to exert themselves to render them popular, the same
happy effects would follow, and we should no longer have
to lament over well-paid, useless farces, and, empty
benches. Do pray, Mr. Editor, aid us in calling atten-
tion to the subject, in order that a better system may
speedily be adopted, and your laudable exertions will be
hailed with delight by a grateful public, and none more
so than, Sir, your most obedient servant,
