FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1853. It is on record in our national annals that Queen ELIZABETH was singularly sparing in her royal dis tribution of the honours of the peerage. The fact of her being so, indeed, is illustrated so clearly and strikingly in the history of her long and remark able reign, that the vast majority of the greatest men of that great age—the Julian age of heroism and the Augustan age of literature for England—survive in the popular remembrance by titles indicating their having risen only to the dignity of knighthood. It was so with the great English Admiral of those days —Sir FRANCIS DRAKE. It was so with the accom plished hero and the dauntless soldier, the preux chevalier in the Court of the Virgin Queen—Sir Pnuar SIDNEY. It was so, in like manner, with the all mastering genius of the poet, historian, navi gator, generalissimo—Sir WALTER RALEIGH. So, likewise, was it with the elegant and courtly Chan cellor—Sir CHRISTOPHER HATTON. So even with the sagacious administrator—Sir ROBERT CECIL. So for a long while before his investiture with the sym bols of the barony of 'Verulam, with " the wisest and world's philosophers—Sir FRANCIS BACON. Knight hood in those days was the badge of honour awarded to valour and genius —coronets were grudgingly granted at rare intervals to court favourites, to Earls of ESSEX and Earls of LEICESTER. Queen Vicroara in no way emulates the dubi ously royal conduct, In this way, of her great prede cessor, Queen ELIZABETH. Without squandering ' the pomps of the peerage by wholesale, her MAJESTY has always shows her readiness in this dis tinctive manner to reward those individuals who have at any time, in any way, to a remarkable ex tent distinguished themselves by doing good service to the country. At the time of her accession she dis tributed, among other honours, a baronetcy to one who had rendered himself world-famous in the fields of science, and another baronetcy to a contemporary who had rendered himself no less world-famous in lite rature. Since then the honours of the peerage and the baronetcy have been distributed bythe SOVEREIGN with a liberal, an unfailing, and a discriminative readiness' Insomuch has this been apparent, consistently and perseveringly, through all this protracted period during which her most gracious MAJESTY has happily bctn seated on the throne of her ancestors that we confidently assert that, had Queen VICTORIA been the reigning Sovereign in those days, instead of acting as her Royal grand father did in regard to such a matchless hero of the deep as Holum) NELSON—allowing him to die at last merely in the fourth order of the Peerage—she would infallibly have exhausted in his regid all the titles of glory within her gift, and—as ARTHUR WELLESLEY was made a Duke before Waterloo — have created NELSON a Duke before his final victory off Cape Trafalgar. It will have been remarked, in further illustration of this munificence in regard to the peerage, that the Gazette of last night announced the addition to the number of the Barons of England of a brave soldier and sagacious general—and to the number of the Baronets of England of a brilliant diploinatist and successful administrator. The almost simultaneous gift of a baron's coronet to the Earl of SEAFIELD, and of another barony a short while previously to Sir JOHN YARDS BULLER, were only noticeable as judicions_and. perfectly comprehensible rewards for political services, in one instance within, and in another without, the walk of Parliament. with the Peerage already specified, however, and the accom panying baronetcy it is wholly otherwise. The inci dents am matters not merely of town or local interest, but of an interest, on :thej contrary, truly imperial. Scarcely a man in the empire but will experience a sense of unaffected pleasure on learning that General Sir Cows CAMPBELL, the heroic Highlander who, with the aid of the famous " thin red line," saved Balaklava from the Russians, and who has more re cently followed up INGLIS'S defence and HAVELOCK'S relief of Lncknow by a series of crushing defeats ad ministered to the villainous rebels o f n crgai —haq now bccn raised to the peerage of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland by letters patent under the Great Seal, and signed by the band of the SOVEREIGN —by the name, style, and title of B aron CLYDE, of Clydesdale. There is only one alloy to the otherwise unmixed satisfaction derivable from these announcements in the Gazettc of lest evening, namely, the very general regret now felt that a baronetcy cnly has been vet vouchsafed by the Crown to the Chief Commissioner of the Thinjatth, the hero who tf all has earned for himself the reputation or having saved India the brave, resolute, and unflinching Sir JOHN LAWRENCE, G.C.B. Later on let us hope this inadequate recompense for services so brilliant and remarkable may be enhanced, and that Sir Jona LAWRBNCE, Bart., will yet be a peer of the realm, as be deserves. A speedy realisa tion to this earnest hope! Further honour to them' bosh in their country's remembrancel And cordial felicitations to the new Baronet, and the brave Lord CLYDE, of Clydesdale, still fighting his way to fresh glory through the armed thousands in that fierce and desperate Rebellion ! The cannon at Cherbourg have boomed forth a cordial welcome to Queen VICTORIA, and the EMPEROR and EMPRESS have rendered all honour to their illustrious visitors. But, far beyond any ceremo nious reception—far beyond red-tapist welcome, is that which proceeds from the hearts of a people, freely and kindly rendered to the majestic represen tative of a nation once hostile, but now a faithful and unflinching ally. Those—whether Englishman or Frenchman we care not, who would breed dis sension between the two great nations of Europe — who would embitter the one people against the other, or produce malevolence where all should be friendly, should receive the censure which they so greatly de serve. We rejoice in our fleets and arsenals, in the magnificent harbours which PROVIDENCE has bestowed upon us, and in which the navies of the world might float in safety. Should we view with jaundiced eye sight the enterprise of our friends and neighbours, who have made science repair natural deficiencies, and produced the magnificent harbour and arsenal, on which every true-hearted Englishman will honestly congratulate them ? We hope and believe that we shall continue friends; but if not, we would not envy a particle of the strength and power that justly entitles France to a position second to none on the political ladder. We believe that we are but giving expression to the voice of public opinion in stating that which we have carefully collected in every quarter, from the highest to the lowest class. There is a general feel ing favourable to the French alliance, in which no particle of jealousy or malevolence can be detected. Many persons of high rank in either country were in attendance, but we confess that we received with even greater pleasure the honest, the ;enthusiastic cheers thatLiame forth from bloused Reasants or humble workmen., These exhibited thorough sincerity. There was no diplomatic hum bug in their honest shouts. They furnished a stronger guarantee for the maintenance of the Alliance than all the protocols which diplomatists could concoct, or which might be ratified with all the formalities known to red-tapism. The elaborate and admirable report which will be found in another part of our impression, and for which we are indebted to our kind . and respected contemporary, the Morning Post, contains a graphic detail of what has taken place. It might easily be imagined that everything that could be effected would be done to grace the cere mony and to receive the Royal and distinguished visitors with all honour. But no previous prepara tions could have given tone to the myriads of voices that sung forth clearly and distinctly from myriads of honest throats, which showed that whatever may happen to be the differences of Ministers, French men and Englishmen will still be friends, if not brothers. Every heartfelt cheer from the most simple artizan was stronger evidence in support of the continued peace and tranquillity of Europe, than the ,most elaborate forms, the most expensive exhi bitions of administrative amicability or diplomatic friendship. We may now, on behalf of the peoples of both countries ask, Quis seperabet—who shall pro duce animosity ani cugst those who were so long im properly regarded as natural enemies, but who now know the inestimable advantages and benefits of being mutual friends? Many have written with pens steeped in gall of the folly of the Irish io indulging in faction fights in remote districts, and injuring their neigh bours in consequence of hereditary quarrels. Before we censure our Hibernian brethren, Jet us pluck the beam from our own eyes, moderate the prejudices that have "grown with our growth and strengthened with our strength." Let us do as we would be done by," and the peace and tran quillity of the civilised world will be ensured. With mutual kindness and good faith there can be no cause of quarrel ; and while they are in accord, who will fling down the gage or initiate hostilities? Every favourable auspice, then, to the magnificent works at Cherbourg. May they long remain the glory of France, the admiration of the world ! We should not say this if we fancied for a moment menace to England," or something intended for our humiliation or subjugation. We regard it, however, in a better spirit, and can honestly compliment the EMPEROR and people of France on what is a legiti mate source of pride, and which we can admire with out either envying or dreading.

The allied expedition in the Peiho has reached Tiensin, from whence the last date is June 4. No serious attempt was made by the Chinese to impede the navigation of the river, and the gunboats advanced to Tiensin, which commands both river and the great canal, without a mark of hostility. The people supply provisions of excellent quality cheaply. The English and French Ambassadors were living on shore in a temple ; the Russians and Americans had followed the Allies up the river; the second officer of the Empire, and the President of one of the six koards of Government had arrived in Tiensin to negotiate ; they are invested with a title which the interpreter describes to convey full powers, and profess their readiness to treat on the demands put forward in the letter to the Prime Minister of China, which had been previously ignored. The first interview was to sake place on the 4th June, after the departure of the steamer.

The Queen breakfasts to-day with the Emperor and Empress en board the Bretagne. _ .. . ~. s . --". 'lter bteakfast. EVENING. The Queen got under weigh to-day at half-past 12 o'clock. The Emperor paid a farewell visit to her Majesty on board the Royal Yacht. The weather was magnificent ; and, notwithstand ing the departure of the English squadron, the roadstead exhibited the most anirasted appearance. The Emperor has visited the ships of war. His Majesty was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the crews. Their sheers were even heard in the town. The Queen,of Great Britain and the Prince Consort were entertained yesterday at dinner by the Emperor of the French, on board the line-of-battle ship La Bretagne. The EMPEROR, in proposing the toast sf the health of her Majesty and of the Royal Family of England, made a speech, in whjth he said : " I am happy to be enabled to express the sentiments by which I am animated upon this occasien of the Queen's visit to Cherbourg. The facts do indeed speak for themselves, and prove that the hostile passions which were excited by some unfortunate incidents have never been able to alter either the friendship which exists between the two Crowns, or the desire of the peoples to remain at peace. I have there fore the firm hope that if any attempts were made to revive again the rancours of a formerperiod, such attempts would be foiled by the good sense of the public, as the waves are baffled by yonder breakwater, which at this moment serves to protect the squadrons of both empires against the violence of the sea." The PRINCE CONSORT, on behalf of her Majesty, responded to the toast, in doing which be said— " The Queen is most sensible of the words we have just heard, which will for ever be dear to her. The Queen is doubly happy in having an opportunity, by her presence here, to join the Emperor in endeavouring to Craw together as closely as possible the ties of friendship which exist be tween the two nations. That friendship has their mutual prosperity for its basis, and the blessing of Heaven will not be wanting to confirm it." COWES, FRIDAY.

The steamship Etna arrived in the river this evening from Cherbourg. RETURN OF HER MAJESTY FROM CHERBOURG. FROM THE COURT NEWSMAN. OSBORNE, FRIDAY. The Queen returned from Cherbourg about five o'clock this afternoon, and immediately disembarked from the royal yacht. (FROM THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE MORNING POST.) CHERBOURG, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Last ilight the prophets of evil had it all their own way, a heavy bank of clouds hung over the west, fringed by streaks of dull dusky red. The wind blew strong, and the fleets of small boats from the Ryde, wherries, to the brave little dingies, dashed through the Solent with the spray flying round and over them. "It will rain," "It will blow," "The Queen will give it up." Such were the prognostications uttered by the weather-wise and daady amateur frequenters of the Ryde Pier; but towards midnight the wind fell, the moon rose on the stately squadm at auchg the waters w hi c h I t y fr a o s in the sh ore d anced t a h t, e S p l i s t l h e ea o d f , o l n v i n g a h tz re's w studded oa beautiful ti f w u h l ite breakwater, graceful villas, fringed with wood to the water' s e d ge, and p l easure seekers w h o over va esrh t ht undulatingse sripples, o o r r e s varied Many i n yn gab the e u a were so fortunate as to find berths in the squadron. As they passed under the bows or sterns of each ship the challange of the watch was answered by the Ay e , a ye," or " No, no," according to the boat's destination. The lights in the Admiral's cabin of the flag-ship proved that the Duke de Malakoff and the noble Admiral were cementing the alliance in the most cheerful manner. There cannot be a greater contrast between the two nations than there is between the military and naval heroes of this expedition—the sturdy, stout, exube rant frame of the General, and the thin, worn, hag gard appearance of Lord Lyons, who recalls to every one who has seen him the pictures of that Nelson whose successful career he has conspicuously emu lated. Notwithstanding the fatigues which his frame has undergone, those who slept on board the fleet were made sensible at three this morning that the Admiral has lost nothing of his energy. The report of the signal-gun aroused everyone; and long before the sun had risen on the grey, cold-looking Solent, the squadron was well under weigh. It was a glo rious sight to witness these proud, gallant, solid things sailing through the water so silently and solemnly, as if moved by some mysterious impulse. The Admiral led, with the blue flying at the main ; then followed the Renown, worthy of the name she bears ; and in her wake the beautiful Diadem, fit h ekeeping guardian of the Imperial di a d em , an d , i n h Thegrace, emblematical of it s Imperial er other ships f o ll owe d i n d ue order, her assigned st a ti on . Wh y the each power w ca r wearer. and squadron got under weigh at 3 a.m. in order to await the arrival of her Majesty off the breakwater at Cherbourg, to roll for 4 hours in a western swell, is a question which the French ambassador :and his suite must haie frequently asked in the course of the morning's sail ; but as this is the first time Sir John Pakington has visited Cherbourg, he may be excused for not,knowing the distance across, and the Secretary of the Admiralty may have been anxious to gain fresh inspiration from the glad blue waters in which we are rolling. About half-past four, three small black specks on the horizon gave tokens of the Royal progress. The seventeen miles an hour which can be obtained from the Victoria and Albert soon reduced the distance which separated the Queen of England from the bristling fo:tifications of Cher bourg. The squadron formed into two lines, the Royal Albert and Renown leading, followed the for mer by the Curacoa and Euryalus, the latter by the Diadem and Racoon. It was a spirit-stirring sight when the Victoria and Albert, with the Royal standard, fol lowed by her fairy flotilla, the whole under the protec tion of six men-of-war, each a perfect specimen of her class, rounded the western fort of the breakwater. The French fleet, moored in line, thundered forth their broadsides of welcome, to the serious damage of all the windows in Cherbourg, but to the delight of the pleasure yachts, with which the whole roadstead was covered. How the fleets of yachts, steamers, pilot-boats, and Jersey hoys which may be expected within the next two days are to find space to anchor is a question which those who arrive last will have to solve to their great discomfiture. After the smoke of the guns had cleared away, the magnificence of the harbour, the strength of it defences, must have struck those who saw them for the first time with astonish ment, for, to judge by the flashes and reports from the whole heights surrounding Cherbourg, the city must be like a salamander girt with fire. It was half-past eight when the watch announced the ap proach of their Imperial Majesties. The orders— " man the yards," " be ready to cheer," " muster the band," were severally uttered by the first lieutenant, when the barge swept under our bows. It is a beau tiful model of a boat ; white and gold, with a canopy of green velvet covered with golden bees, and surmounted by the Imperial Crown. The hurrah Which greeted the Royal party must have been as grateful as unelPeeted. It was a good hearty English cheer—not damaged by any jealousies of tower, or port, or tented, ground tit - as should greet an or carry a ship into action. What mysterious conferences succeeded the paternal embraces en the deck of the Victoria and Albert, history shall hereafter tell ; we are only in search of the picturesque ; and the scene on the Em peror's return was worthy of the miss en scene of the grand opera. Simultaneously as the barge shoved off, the mast heads, yards, and rigging of the whole squadron was illuminated by blue lights. Suddenly round the barge a light, bright as noon day, covered it with its glory during its progress through the fleet of yachts. It was Major Fit zmaurice's new light, which the Admiralty allowed him to exhibit on this occasion, and with the success of which they must be satisfied. The light was so powerful that the pas sengers around whom it shone had to turn away from its excess. If Major Fitzmaurice could only throw a little of this light into the recesses of the Imperial heart, as well as on the Imperial mantle, it would be a great advantage to the politicians of the day. In spite of cheers and enthusiasm, the mind would return back to the days of Louis XIV. and the memories of those times when Imperial bees bad power to sting, and the hives were scattered over Europe; and when the blue lights had died out, and when the electric lamps grew pale, and the sound of cannon and of cheers had ceased to echo from rampart to breakwater, some few might hare reflected on these strange fortunes which caused the Queen of England to be a welcome visitor in that port which was bombarded by our fleets just a cen tury ago, and which has associated the name of Napoleon with the peace and tranquillity of Europe. CHERBOURG ROADS, AUG. 5, 4 P.M. Yesterday closed upon a remarkable scene—the arrival of the Sovereign of England within the har bour of a fortified French port. Her Majesty, on this occasion, anticipated the generally understood programme of her movements, and steamed into Cherbourg Roads at six o'clock this evening, twelve hours earlier than was expected, and within a brief hour of the arrival of the Emperor and Empress from Caen, where their Imperial Majesties had passed the previous night. The town of Cherbourg,. as. our readers are aware, is but a gradually-grown sea village—originally established by the fishermen on this coast as conve niently situated, where the little river Divette opens into the bay, at a spot between the small rock on .vhich Fort Cavaignac is now situated, and the Isle of Pelee, also now a fortified position, and by them shel tered from all storms except those that come from the W.N.W. round to the E.N.E., no wide range, certainly, but still something on a coast which, from La Hogue to Barfleur, or, indeed, to Havre, affords no protection whatsoever. Here there was a natural haven, small, but not insecure, for fishing-boats and lesser craft only. Th e en t ran ce of this little river, widened on either side, divided into an outer port and an inner commercial dock, and faced with quays, is the present port of the town. The dock yard, surrounded by a double wall and fosse, with casernated entrance, lies on the west, and in the formation of this dockyard and arsenals, with the breakwater which spreads itself in front of the spectator, looking upon the town, from six to seven millions have been expended, with brave resolution and a perseverance unflinching. Through all the circumstances of the country, or changes in tile dynasties that have ruled it—for in the heart of every Frenchman there is one thought ever prominent, and above all selfish interests—the honour and welfare of France. It was a saying of Madame du Pompadour's —or rather she gives it in a familiar letter to one of her female friends, as - the guiding spring and secret of all politics—that "when ever any nation" has a large fleet England never rests until she has captured and destroyed it herself or got some other nation to do it for her. " This," said our fair politician, "I haye learnt at Court to he the secret of all the wars we hear about." Such being the impression of the leaders of France, the conver sion of Cherbourg into a port of offence and refuge became the dearest object of French policy, and great has been the struggle with nature and finance to conquer the difficulties presented by either for a ful century in carrying out the project. The crowning glory of this grand national achievement is due to one of whom, M. Dacres, speaking as Minister of Marine, on this spot, in September, 1851, during the Presidency of Louis Napoleon, said—" His manly hand, after rescuing France from the horrors of rapine, impresses now upon the peaceful develop ment of our naval power all the activity and resolu tion of his genius." Something has been heard of Eng lish jealousy, and our regarding these great works as a standing menace against ourselves. Why France should not have a military port on her shores, as well as ourselves, it is difficult to say. But, be this as it may, Cherbourg is now almost complete as a dockyard and an arsenal ; and France possesses its Plymouth as well as its Portsmouth in this place and Toulon. The breakwater is a mighty work, com posed, not of vast masses of stone, like that of Ply mouth, but of rubble and smaller stones, with a mole, pier, and wall erected upon it, and batteries of great guns in the centre and its extremities. Yeur special reporters will have kept you duly in. formed of the gay scene of bustle and excitement which the town has presented for several days past. The arrival of the French fleet first, and subse quently of a whole squadron of beautiful vessels be longing to the various English yacht clubs, have given extraordinary interest to a place not remark able in itself for more than ordinary activity, and to day the roadstead lying between the town and the breakwater has been studded with vessels of all de scriptions. Shortly before noon yesterday the Pen insular and Oriental Company's Steamship Pera, freighted with the Commons of England, steamed into the harbour and took up a position apportioned for her by the authorities. This ship had left the Solent at 4 a.m., and made a pleasant run of 7f hours. Although the weather had been very favour able several of the honourable gentlemen appeared to have had " quite enough of it." One or two pale faces peeped out of the poop windows, and here and there a distinguished legislator might be seen leaning his unhappy head upon his hand over the gunwale of the ship. A feeling of overpowering nausea seemed to reign supreme, and if Mr. Acton Ayrton had breakfasted upon an act of Parliament in " Com mittee-room, No. 24," he could scarcely have looked more disgusted. We heard of no contretemps during the voyage, save the precipitation of Mr. Dupre from his sleeping berth to the cabin floor, to the serious detriment of his physiognomy—but happily with no more serious consequences. The Queen sailed from Osborne at a quarter past 12 o'clock, and the run of 80 miles thence to this port was made in less than 6 hours—an accidental de tention of half-an-hour at the back of the Isle of Wight owing to a piece of seaweed having in some unaccount able manner got into the piston of one of the en gines, occasioning a delay to this extent. The Royal squadron appointed to escort her Majesty across the Channel left Spithead six hours in advance of the . Queen's yacht, and making good way came to about five o'clock this afternoon, six miles due north of the western entrance of the harbour, where they awaited the approach of the Victoria and Albert in the fol lowing order, about a cables length apart : H.M.S. Royal Albert 131 I H.M.S. Renown .... 91 „ Curacos „ Euryalns 5l „ Racoon 22 The patience of the gallant Admiral, Lord Lyons, was not much tried, for the squadron had scarcely slackened steam, when in the distance the lofty prow of the Queen's yacht was seen rapidly approaching. Onwards and onwards came the majestic vessel bearing England's Majesty, the Monarch of the Seas' reminding the spectator of Falconer's truly Homeric lines : " The natives, while the ship thus nears the land, Ashore with admiration gazing stand, Majestically slow before the breeze She moves triumphant o'er the yielding seas ; Britannia riding awful in the prow Gazed on the vassal waves that rolled below ; Where'er she moved the vassal waves were seen To yield obsequious, and confess their Queen." The Victory and Albert passing through the line oLikto, Jaiu‘cu LUC 11.UU1114.1.15 dna then taking the van, proceeded at diminished speed, attended by the Osborne Admiralty yacht, the Black Eagle, the Banshee, and the Fairy tender yacht, direct for the western entrance of the harbour. The ships of war followed in the wake of the royal yacht, and the whole squadron now bore up for Cherbourg. There were a large number of spectators on the pier heads and along the shores of the port, but it was only at this moment that the Emperor . and Empress had arrived at the railway station on the other side of the town, and hither the great majority of the sightseers had been attracted. The Queen entered the harbour between the Fort tie la Roche Cavaignac and the western battery of the breakwater. Directly the yacht rounded the ports a perfect hurricane of sound broke the silence of the scene. The French ships of war, which, to the number of eleven, with " the Bretagne," the flag-ship of the Admiral at their head, were moored in one long line inside the breakwater, and all the various forts in the harbour vomited forth from their sides clouds of smoke and sheets of fire with a loud thunder, which was rolled back by the amphitheatre of hills overlooking the town. Each vessel fired her broadside gun after gun, in half-second time, short and sharp like a rolling fire of musketry or a fen de joie. The forts discharged salvos of eight guns at the same short intervals—a mighty salutation to the royal visitors; while dockyard and arsenal took up the sulphurous welcome, and repeated it in still louder thunder. As soon as the Victoria and Albert came to her moorings all the French ships saluted her Majesty and manned yards, not, as in England, from stem to stern, but athwart the ships' yards, which, combined with the variety afforded by our own vessels, had a very pretty effect. The Earl and Countess Cowley, who had come down from Paris to receive her Majesty, went off in the Victoria and Albert immediately after the arrival of the Queen, and had the honour of being received on board the yacht. Dinner was served at seven o'clock, the following composing (he guests at the Royal table : The Queen and the Prince Consort. The Prince of Wales. The Duke of Cambridge. The EiFf and . dOuntess Cowley. The Earl of Malmesbury. The Earl Delaware. Sir John Pakington. Sir Charles Phipps. The Countess of Desert. Miss Bulteel. After the shades of evening had closed in, the Emperor and Empress came off in the Imperial barge to pay their respects to her Majesty. It was half-past eight o'clock when the Emperor came alongside. Her Majesty stood on the quarter-deck to receive the Empress, who was handed up the gangway by the Emperor. Ilis Imperial Majesty stepped upon the deck with the Empress, and gave to the Queen and the Prince Consort, as well as to the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge, a most cordial welcome to the shores of France. The Emperor and Empress retired with the Queen and the members of the Royal Family to the saloon, and remained on board until half-past nine o'clock, when they raurned to the Prefecture for the night. During the Imperial visit all the ships of war were illuminated with coloured fires from their port-holes, and the harbour presented a scene of marvellous beauty. This morning a whole squadron of steamers, bear ing excursion parties from England and other places, arrived at Cherbourg. Foremost amongst the fleet were the two ships of the Imperial and Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, the Prince Frederick William and l'lmperatrice, bearing large parties from Dover, which port they had left on the previous: evening at six o'clock, arriving here at seven a.m. All was quiet up to this hour; but as the Admiral's ship Attack eight o'clQck, the Queen's nciat lowered the Admiralty flag, which it had hitherto carried at the fore, and ran up the French ensign. This was the:signal for a salute from all the ships iu the har bour, fired with the admirable precision we have noted on the previous evening. At the same moment all the ships and yachts in the roadstead dressed ship, the sailors manning yards and cheering lustily. Again a lull occurred for some two or three hours, during which more ships of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, the Benares and the Salsette, and a great many other steamers, all chartered with sightseers, all too late, steamed into the harbour, which, under the cheering influence of a bright sum mer sky, presented a picture of singular beauty and interest. At noon her Majesty and the Prince Consort, with the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge, embarked on board the Fairy tender, and steamed into the Imperial dockyard, where the Thnreror and and Empress received her Allajesty on the jetty and conducted the royal party over the military fortifica tions. From the dockyard the Emperor and Em press conducted the Queen to the Prefecture de la Marine, where the Imperial and Royal party partook of luncheon. Afterwards her Majesty was conducted, amid the applause of thousands of spectators, through the principal streets of the town, and then to the heights on which the Forte Roule is situate, which commands, from an elevation of 200 feet, a magnifi cent view of the harbour and town. The Queen is now gone with the Emperor and Empress to inspect the breakwater and forts, after which her Majesty will accompany the Emperor and Empress on board Admiral Hamelin's flag-ship, where the Imperial and Royal party Will dine this evening. The fleet will be illuminated to-night on a grand. scale. All is excitement and gaiety here, the only parties appearing to be disappointed being the members of the British House of Commons, who arc very much aggrieved at not having been admitted to the Im perial dockyard this morning. CHERBOURG, AUG. 5. Her Majesty the Queen has arrived at Cherbourg. Her Majesty's ship, followed by the Royal squadron, entered the harbour at six o'clock in the evening. I shall again refer to this auspicious visit. The Emperor and Empress of the French arrived in Cherbourg at five o'clock in the evening. Before giving an account of the reception of the Emperor and Empress, of the place in which they were first welcomed to Cherbourg, and of the vari ous circumstances connected with that event, I wish to notice briefly the aspecct which this city presented previous to their reaching the terminus of the new railway. Although it was pretty generally believed that the Imperial guests could not possibly be in Cherbourg before half-past five or six o'clock in the evening, still all parties, the civilians not less than the officials, were on the qui rive from a very early hour. I saw, for instance, more than one officer of high rank, in full uniform, in the ctreets at six in the morning, whilst at the same time were to be observed dust covered travellers hurrying in from all quarters, and seeking for places of refreshment and repose. At seven o'clock the restaurateurs of all classes were busily engaged with customers, and each hour added to their numbers, until, at last, as the day wore on, the rooms of the breakfast providers became a scene of crowded confusion, in which bewildered waiters and distracted attendants in vain attempted to answer the various conflicting and still augment ing demands that were flooding in upon and over whelming them. The crowds were great on the land before nine o'clock in the morning, and they seemed to be equally great in the commercial port, along the quays, and out in the road, from the number of skiffs and boats sailing towards Cherbourg, the smallest boat showing the tricolor at its bow or stern, and every trade ship or pleasure yacht that was stationary unfolding her snow-white sails, and dpeqrating hPrcPlf with all lIPr mnnifnlrl qtrt , amorQ Amid this ever-moving water-picture, which was lighted up and occasionally obscured by a brilliant sun and ever-shifting clouds, there were conspicuous in the distance the sullen-looking war-ships—dark, formidable, and threatening batteries, crowned with bare, taper, unadorned masts—seemingly standing aloof, as if they disdained to take a part in the merriment of the little barks and cork-like boats that were capering and scudding about them— haughty and reserved, as if they were proud of the power they possessed, and conscious that all these tiny, volatile things beneath them would be not only overlooked, but absolutely forgotten, the instant they roared forth their first broadside, and by the clamour of their brazen throats should shake Cherbourg with emotion, and prove to its people how a sovereign should be welcomed when he visited a port which he had commissioned them to protect from every danger. From this scene at sea, so exquisitely beautiful in all its parts, the eye turned towards the land, and there, upon every point, was to be observed floating the tricolor, as if it had sprung up from the soil of France, an emblem of the political principles and the attachment of the people to that family which had wreathed its favourite banner in every land to which it had been carried with the laurels of victory. From the rocky mountain—the stark and stern Montagne du Itoule—to the quiescent, grass-mounded, and still more formidaLle Port Militaire, the extreme points in the horizon, including the insulated bat teries which rose amid ever-bursting billows, were the white-painted and red-bricked houses of Cherbourg, and their long spacious quays. There was everywhere to be seen the tricolor and the overtopping eagle, fluttering and glittering in the sunshine, and attracting attention—frequently admiration—by the manner in which these constantly recurring objects were arranged or grouped together —the most conspicuous amongst all, from its posi tion on the Place d'Arm6e, being the Hotel de Ville —a mass of embroidered tapestry from its topmost balcony to its ground apartments. It would be a vain attempt to specify the multi- tudinous devices to which the Cherbourgers have had recourse to manifest their loyalty and attach ment to the Sovereign of France ; but cne mode adopted by the inhabitants of the various places and streets (marked over for the Imperial procession from the Rochard to the Prefecture) I cannot re frain from referring to. All those houses were de corated with wreaths of laurel, uniting together, so as to make the whole line have the appearance of a triumphal pathway ; and so honouring as a con queror the family that had in Cherbourg struggled against nature itself, and compelled the most obdu rate materials to become instrumental in guarding the trade and securing the peace of France. It was hailing as a conqueror the Third Napoleon, who had completed what the First Napoleon had de signed. There was, therefore, not merely taste in this design, but there was a thought expressed which gave it a significance far more worthy of attention than the mere beauty of its arrangement. I pass, then, from the streets of Cherbourg, its banners, streamers, decorations, and well -arranged platforms on plain and river to the festive encamp ment erected by the conductors of the Paris and Cherbourg Railway in honour of the Imperial fetes. Favoured by a friend who is one of the guests of the compiny, I was permitted to pass the outer barriers of this encampment, which is appropriately guarded by soldiers of the regular army. There are lines upon lines of snow-white tents, each tent being sufficient to hold three perions, with beds ready pre pared for them—clean, soldier-like beds they are-- a table provided with all things necessary for dinner and breakfast, and camp-stools to sit upon. To these several lines have been given the names of different streets appropriate to the. occasion on which they have been erected, and the lines or streets all branch off from what may be regared as the main road, WhiCtt h§§ bees maned with wimirol?lo taste, for there are on both its sides flowering shrubs and hot house plants— "All dear Nature's children sweet"— which give it the appearance, whilst they enrich the entire encampment with the perfume, of a summer garden. It was, in substance, the realisation of the truth of the praises bestowed by Fletcher upon French hospitality and politeness. For there wag accommodation afforded to English visitors " In France, that garden of humanity, The very seed-plot of all courtesies." From this festive encampment I pass to the plat form erected at the terminus for the reception of the Emperor and Empress on their arrival at Cher bourg. The site of this terminus, and the manner in which it had been decorated as a reception-hall for the Emperor, with the splendid amphitheatre, suflicicut to accommodate at the least four thousand persona presented a picture such as I am sure was never before exemplified in human circumstances. Permit me to attempt to give your readers an idea—at best it can be but a very imperfect idea—of the opening scene in the inauguration of the Cherbourg and Paris railway, Looking at it from such a place as was assigned to your correspondent on this occasion, there was to be seen on the left a truly palatial hail, from the ceiling of which depended large wreaths of laurel , intertwined with the national colours, and forming , as it were, a canopy to the two throne-like chairs of the Emperor and Empress. The high walls were tapestried, and on the door beneath was a costly carpet, whilst arranged around, with equal judgmen t and taste, were flowering shrubs, and in the centre-- as the greatest and most honoured object of all—we 9 a high altar with rich silver candlesticks, golden ornaments, and wax-tapers lighted as for one of th e most solemn celebrations of the Roman Catholic Church, whilst by its side stood, in the rich vest ments of a Cardinal Bishop, the prelate of th e diocese, the Bishop of Coutance, his dean, capitulsr clergy, and a great number of priests in their Whit e vestments. In this magnificent hall, as it was the railway terminus for the moment, the principa l ornaments were the banners of France, and the golden eagles of the Empire, whilst on each side vra l erected magnificent trophies of arms and bannergt with the letter " N." in gold in the centre compartment. With these war trophies en each side of the hall were at the lower end of the amphitheatre similar trophies tn correspond with them. Next to this hall was the amphitheatre—the finest construction of the kind I ever saw, for the seats rose, at the least, a foot above one another,—a wide space being maintained be tween each seat, and the seats themselves resting upon solid rock, so that thousands were accomme . dated without the slightest pressure, and the person s on the backmost bench could see as well every thing passing, as those nearest to the stage at which the Emperor landed. All the spectators could see what was passing, and all could b e h o ld one ano th e r—an' when the majority of the spectators in this portion of the spectacle wereladies of rank and wealth of both countries it is unnecessary to observe how much th e richness and variety of their attire, combined with their personal appearance, contributed to the bout/ of that scene they had themselves come to a dmire' There were certainly many English persons of rani' present, and I thought I could recognise the faces and voices of several members of Parliament. I a id quite sure that amongst the members were the Eng lish Ambassador and Lady Cowley, Lord Chelsea' Hon. E. Monson, Colonel Claremont, Mr. Attleif Sir John and Lady 011iffe. Count Wallewski wa s also a looker-on, and appeared to take an interest in the transactions of the day. Upon this amphitheat re platform were all the chosen visitors to Cherbourg' the favoured thousand of the many thousands that had come, like them, to do honour to the Emperor. But having thus described to you the magnificen t reception-hall fitted up for their Majesties, and th e splendid amphitheatre spreading out on both sid es and with its fine awning covering the back seats (especially intended fur ladies), and adorned wit h wreaths, and boughs, and tri-colored strearnerli i t is not to be supposed that the scene is complete. ° LI the enntrary, that which made the spectacle most re" markable was to find palatial hall and large amphi theatre, directly fronted by a high mountain all on e mass of rugged rock, and along the sides and Pea k ; of which, as on the ramparts, were to be discerned clusters of men and women looking down upon W I and platform, and seeming themselves, from th e height and distance, to be an army of pigmies, Vih ° had gathered in wonder to gaze at what had bee n achieved by human skill and industry in the Cow struction of the Cherbourg railway. And truth t ° say, this Cherbourg railroad is a marvel; for, look: ing at it from the amphitheatre, it seemed to sell ° the line of carriages out of the very.depths of the , granite mountains, which nature h a d, i n va i n, er ected to prevent the possibility of any communication he" tween those dwelling upon the opposite sides. Ther e was then the gorgeous hall, the crowded amPh i• theatre, the railroad, and the steep, craggy no un : Lain. Never, it might well be supposed, did the s" shine upon a finer and a more extraordinary conlh i ‘ nation of interesting objects—each, by itself, a 113 ti t ‘ ter worthy of admiration. Such was the scene which those who bad bceo honoured with tickets of invitation to the platforal were for two hours looking upon, and delighted td contemplate ; for it was a specta c le th e eye won never weary in regarding. There were other things besides to amuse the eye' and to render the promise of expectation less painf ul ' There were, in that scene I have been attempting t o describe, objects always in motion. There was, for instance, "the clink of hammers," as the upholstere rs men were engaged in giving the last touches to th e decorations of the hall, and fastening down carpe" on the wide central space which was to be walke"i, a upon by their Majesties. It was amus i ng to re ran' the conscious importance of the operators engaged ill this latter occupation, each looking as if he felt that without his little hammer and very little nails th e whole thing would be a failure, and the Emper or without a carpet to walk upon (such as they we re , laying down), would b e pl ace d i n a ,p os iti o n that would reflect the highest discredit upon Cherbourg, Such is man's nature of his own importance to OS world—each thinks that without the blow and nois e of his own puny hammei, society wouli soon fall to pieces. Then came those especial objects of admit**, tion to English ladies—the two d a intily-dresSo cantinieres, as they marched with the regiment whose care they had devoted themselves. The n there were the fierce-looking pompiers--the acut e infantry men—then the agile sub-lieutenants, se the grave-looking silver-collared civil officers and after them some grand old veteran officer / in rich uniforms and feathered hats, and the n the Bishop of C ou t ra i s an d hi s clergy, and then the hurrying up and down the line, as if tele' graphic messengers had told the Emperor was CO e : ing sooner than he was expected. Amongst thes; incidents that which excited the most disappoints: o was the sudden rolling in of two snorting engi nee that appeared as wicked and as unmanageable, thong coming for a benediction from their bishop, as a sul k Y schoolboy when forced to submit to punishment. And then—at last--:-at ten minutes to five, the die taut firing of cannon was heard, showing that t he Imperial train must have been discerned advanci fi g towards Cherbourg. A pause—a very long pause—ensued, and it it characterised by the same gravity and quieseen' . which had marked the preceding part of the day „; for the feelings of the majority of those present 'ere too deeply interested in the fact—the seeing and vi be coming the Emperor—to allow themselves ° amused by trifles which were a source of en,toYr eco to strangers. - The braying of trumpets, the rattling of drum : and the awful roaring of cannon, filled the cars all at two minutes to five o'clock, and at the saim., instant the Imperial train rolled slowly f o rward 3 U the acelamatiOns of thousands.
