The experience of the last few years proves that for rail- Way companies suburban and metropolitan traffic is the most remunerative. What might have been the profits made had the taking of building land by railway companies been allo wed needs but the simple fact stated, that land at the various suburban termini of the London railways has In many cases more than trebled in value. This Association is formed to carry through a scheme Which embraces the possession of a lino of railway starting from the large manufacturing town of Belfast to Bangor, . Holywood, having not only a large and increasing suburban, but sea-side traffic, both for permanent residences and excursions, also the advantage of land with sea frontage for building purposes. Its success can therefore hardly admit of a doubt. That portion of the Railway, 4i miles of which (from Belfast to Holywood) has been open since 1848, yields an enormous return on its cost of construction ; and since the 18th of May last, by the opening of an addi tional 71- miles to Bangor, nearly 70 per cent., on previous traffic has been gained, and without a very large increase of rolling stock the numbers seeking conveyance cannot be carried. The line, which is at present single, will therefore at once be doubled, and ample rolling stock provided. The Belfast, Holywood, and Bangor Railway Company have, by a bill passed this session, become possessed of the 4 i miles from Belfast to Holywood, and thus secured 12 Miles of rail, giving direct communication from the great manufacturing town of Belfast to Bangor, which town may fairly be considered the Brighton of Belfast. It can be reached in twenty minutes. Its beauty of scenery is un surpassed. Bathing can be had at all states of tide, and it is very popular with all classes for residences and excur sions. When this Association has carried out its plan of having first-rate hotel accommodation, bathing places at Holywood and Bangor, winter-gardens, concert-room, and esplanade, the result cannot fail of being highly remunerative to the shareholders. The traffic, when all the arrangements have been carried out, has been estimated by competent judges at a minimum of £1,500 per week, which will pay as high a rate of dividend as the shareholders in the Dublin and Kingstown Railway receive. Eminent contractors have gone over the works, and are prepared to enter into a contract to double the line, supply all the necessary additional rolling stock, and to construct the esplanade, roads, hotel, baths, and other public build ings, and pay to the shareholders 6 per cent. on the paid up capital for three years from the Ist September, 1865. An influential committee in Belfast will be formed. The plans, report; and other particulars may be seen at the Offices of the Company. Full prospectuses and forms of application may be obtained at the London Financial Association (Limited), South Sea Rouse, Threadneedlo-street, the. Bankers, Brokers, and Solicitors of the Company.

Present—Lord President, Sir George Grey, Bart., Mr. Milner Gibson. Whereas by an act passed in the session of the eleventh and twelfth years of her present Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act to prevent until the I st day of September, 1850, and to the end of the then next session of Parliament, the spreading of contagious or infectious disorders among sheep, cattle, and other animals," and which has since been from time to time continued by divers subsequent acts, it is (amongst other things) enacted that it shall be lawful for the Lords and others of her Majesty's Privy Council, or any two or more of them from time to time to make such orders and regulations as to them may seem necessary, for the purpose of prohibiting or regulating the removal to or from such parts or places as they may de signate in such order or orders, of sheep, cattle, horses, swine, or other animals, or of meat, skins, hides, horns, hoofs, or other part of any animals, or of hay, straw, fodder, or other articles likely to propagate infection ; and also for the purpose of purifying any yard, stable, outhouse, or other place, or any waggons, carts, carriages, or other vehicles ; and also for the purpose of directing how any animals dying in a diseased state, or any animals, parts of animals, or other things seized under the provisions of this act, are to be disposed of ; and also for the purpose of causing notices to be given of the appearance of any dis order among sheep, cattle, or other animals, and to make any other orders or regulations for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of the said act, and again to revoke, alter, or vary any such orders or regulations ' • and that all provisions for any of the purposes aforesaid in any such order or orders contained shall have the like force and effect as if the same had been inserted in the said act ; and that all persons offending against the said act shall for each and every offence forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding £2O, or such smaller sum as the said Lords or others of her Majesty's Privy Council may in any such case by such order direct. And whereas a contagious or infectious disorder, of which the nature is at present uncertain, has lately appeared, and now prevails among cattle within the metropolis and in the neighbourhood thereof, and it is expedient to take measures for preventing such disorders from spreading, Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council do hereby, by virtue and in exercise of the powers given by the said recited act, and by the several acts continuing the same aforesaid, order as follows : 1. If at the date of the publication of this order in the "London Gazette," there shall be any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox labouring under any contagious or infectious disorder in the possession or custody of any cowkeeper, dairyman, or dairywoman, or of any milkman or milk woman, or vendor or purveyor of milk, or of any dealer in cattle whatsoever within the City of London or within the limits of the metropolitan police district, or if at any time hereafter, while this present order shall continue in force and unrevoked, any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox, being in the possession or custody of any such person as afore said within the said City of London or within the metro politan police district shall be seized or attacked with, or be found labouring or suffering under, any such contagious or infectious disorder, notice of the existence of such dis order, or of th e first appearance of such disorder in or among the cattle belonging to or in custody of any such person as aforesaid, shall immediately thereupon be given by the person in whose possession or custody such diseased animals or animal shall be, to the clerk of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council in waiting at the office of liar Majesty's Privy Council at Whitehall, in the county of Middlesex ; and it shall be lawful for the said clerk of her Majesty's Privy Council, and for all such persons as shall by writing under his hand authorise in that behalf thereupon, and at all reasonable times thereafter, to in spect or examine all or any such diseased animals or ani mal, and to report to the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council all such information and particulars as to the na ture or character of such disorder as may seem to him ex pedient for the purpose of enabling proper regulations to be made for preventing or checking the further propaga tion and increase of such disorder. 2. Every person offending against this order, an d omit ting to give such notice or to permit such inspection and examination as aforesaid, shall for every such offence for feit any sum not exceeding twenty pounds, which the jus tices before whom he or she shall bo convicted of such offence may think fit to impose.

In assenting to the resolution the noble lord took occasion to state that a gallant friend of his had waited on Mr. Major, a veterinary surgeon, who said he had got a secret for the cure of the cattle disease, which, upon being tested by his gallant friend, turned out to be a combination of camphor and ether. His gallant friend said he had cured many a man by that means who had been attacked by cholera. Upon which Mr. Major replied that the truth is that that is cholera in human beings is cholera in cattle. The Rev. Dr. ALLEN seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. On the motion of Dr. GREENHOW, seconded by Mr. CianwicK, a cordial vote of thanks was passed to the Bishop of London.for presiding on the occasion. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The LORD BISHOP, in reply, said he thought this meet ing would have an important practical effect, for the mem bers of the Press who were amongst them would take care that what had been said was fully and fairly placed before the public. The circulation of the report, he also thought, would have some beneficial effect. It showed that although the time had not been lost since the last outbreak, still there remained a great deal to do, and he earnestly trusted that all those who were invested with authority in the various parishes would exert themselves to the utmost— first, for the benefit of their poorer neighbours ; and, next, for themselves. With regard to the parochial clergy of London, he might state that they would be most ready to co-operate in their way with the other gentlemen, for them were no set of persons who were more alive to these mat ters than they were. (Hear, hear.) _ The BIBImp then pronounced a blessing, and the pro ceedings terminated, having lasted nearly three hours. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. S TOCKT ON RACES-THURSDAY.

R. SWEETTNG, Hon. See. CHARDS NASH, Sec. Threatened Epidemic of Cholera. Yesterday afternoon, in accordance with an invitation from the Council of the Association for the Promotion of Social Science, a conference of medical officers of health, members of the Epidemiological Society, parochial clergy, and others interested in the sanatory condition of the me tropolis and of the kingdom generally, was held at the offices of the association just named, No. 1, Adam-street, Adelphi, to consider what steps should bo taken at the present moment,, in view of the threatened epidemic of cholera. Amongst the gentlemen present were Dr. Brewer, Rev. Dr. Allen, rector of St. George's, Southwark; Rev. C. E. Oakley, rector of St. Paul's, Covent-garden ; Dr. Richard son, Mr. Edwin Chadwick, Dr. Stewart, Rev. W. H. Fre mantle, the bishop's chaplain; Dr. Aldis, Dr. Richardson, Mr. Liddle, Mr. R. N. Fowler, Dr. Garth Wilkinson, Mr. Edward Webster, Dr. Rendle, Mr. Vieweg, Mr. Lilwall, &c. Lord Ebury presided in the absence of the Bishop of London, who was unable to be present at the commencement l i of the meeting. The rev. prelate did, however, make his appearance in the course of the proceedings, and the noble lord resigned his position to him. Dr. H. GREENHOW, who acted as secretary to themeeting in the absence of Mr. Hastings, the secretary to the Asso ciation for the Promotion of Social Science, explained the circumstances under which the meeting had been called. It was not a meeting of the association, which would not be compromised by anything that might be done, but simply a meeting of gentlemen interested in the subject. He then read a statement tracing the origin and progress of the cholera to its previous visitations. He then read a lengthened statement cf the Standing Committee of Health on the threatened epidemic of cholera, from which we give the following extracts : "An outbreak of cholera has taken place in Asia. It has broken through close quarantines and appeared with great severity at Malta. It has also appeared with great severity at Ancona, in Italy. It has broken out in Spain and at Marseilles. Cholerine is reported to be prevalent in Hano ver. Diarrhoea has been excessive in the metropolis. Ex traordinary epidemic visitations on cattle are common pre cursors of epidemic visitations on the human species— and a severe epidemic in cattle has appeared in England. The extraordinary epidemic of cholera in 1832 slew 32,000 per sons, and that of 1848-49 slew 72,000 persons in Great Bri tain. The recorded evidence of medical officers in every part of the country proved that where measures founded on careful observations of the previous course of the epi demic visitation of 1832 were duly taken in time, the at tacks were greatly diminished in number, in intensity, and in fatality. The most severe attacks were met with in places where typhus, dysentry, and diarrhea% prevailed, and which slued nearly 100,000 pet: antium in Great Britain alone. These attacks were, however, in the greater num ber of instances preventable, but On former occasions the preventive measures recommended by the general board had either been disregarded or only partially attended to. The committee, therefore, recommend a house-to-house examination of the houses, and the courts, alley, streets, or habitations from whence foul air diseases do now arise, for which purposes lists should be got from the local registrars of the houses that have been of late visited by diseases of the zymotic class; also lists from the relieving officers and the medical officers of unions of the houses and places most frequently visited by such diseases." Mr. CHADWICK then moved the following resolution : " That the outbreak of cholera in Constantinople, Egypt, Malta, Italy, Spain, and Marseilles, and the occurrence of scattered cases of cholera in the metropolis, and also the outbreak in this country of an extraordinary epidemic in cattle, which has often been the precursor of extraordinary epidemic attacks on human beings, must be taken as por tending an extraordinary epidemic visitation on the people of this country, which should be guarded against by all means available from voluntary exertion, as well as from the exercise of governmental and local apthority." In doing so, he said it was a remarkable fact in connection with the last visitation of the cholera that it appeared with remarkable pertinacity in the same places it had formerly visited. It broke out sometimes on one side of a street, sometimes on another. It had also been ascertained that in almost all cases there were premonitory symptoms, chiefly of diarrhoea, and that where these symptoms were regarded by the removal of the person attacked to refuges, it was a great means of prevention. There were places which the cholera never touched, and amongst these were the model prisons, the best-conditioned of our union -houses, and district schools. Dr. ALDIS seconded the resolution. In his own district, that of Belgravia, they had not had many cases, but it was a remarkable fact that in almost all the cases that had oc curred they had been preceded by smallpox. He had lately been called to a case of cholera even in that favoured spot. Dr. RICHARDSON thought a few simple rules ought to bo given to the people for their protection, especially when there was so much writing about cholera by gentlemen who had evidently never followed out a case to the end. He did not think that the adoption of a series of resolu tions by such a meeting would be of any advantage, either to the profession or the public. He thought the best plan for the association to adopt would be to appoint a scientific commission, which should draw up a report as to the ori gin, progress, and prevention of the disease. Mr. LIDDLE was of opinion that the disease was com municable in many ways, and he strongly recommended strict cleanliness as a preventive measure. He would also appoint additional inspectors of nuisances, and enforce a better supply of water, especially from the main. He con sidered also that the Legislature should be called upon to pass a new building act, the present act being most defec tive. The resolution was then put from the chair, and unani mously adopted. Dr. RICHARDS moved the next resolution, which was— " That having regard to the known character of the threat ened visitation, and to the course of the previous extraor dinary epidemics, it is probable that the great severity of the visitation will be upon the same places and upon the same classes that are now most severely scourged by typhus, dysentery, and the various species of foul air diseases, and that all well-directed exertions protective of those classes from the extraordinary epidemic, should the threatened attack be spared, will nevertheless be preventive of the so called zymotic or fermenting diseases; which aro never ab sent from the districts chiefly inhabited by the poor, to which nearly 20 per cent. of the extraordinary death rates are due, and an annual sacrifice, approaching to 100,000 lives, is occasioned." In support of the resolution he stated that the safety of the better classes depended upon the care bestowed upon the humbler classes, and it was therefore their duty to take measures for that purpose, Dr. GRANT WILKINSON wished to take the opportunity before the resolution was seconded of stating that it had been established by a Parliamentary inquiry that the homoeopathic principle had been found to be most valuable, and in point of fact effectual in the case of cholera. Mr. CHADWICK, in reply to Mr. Webster, stated that it was a difficult thing to say what was a remedy in regard to cholera. All the preliminary suggestions he had made were desirable as a preventive. Once the cholera seized a per son in its virulent character it carried the patient off, and there could be no answer to the question. If, therefore, anything *as to be done to defeat it, such must be by pre liminary and preventive arrangements. Dr. RENDLE, in seconding the resolution, expressed his fears that the vestries, unless under the coercion of an Order in Council, would not operate in the matter. The vestries were in many cases composed of persons who had an inte rest in maintaining the property as it was, and did nothing until the time of visitation came, and then they did those unwise things which tended to create a panic. The resolution was agreed to. Lord EBURY next moved the following resolution— " That in order to disseminate instruction for the guidance of the voluntary exertion that may be needed or serviceable to aid or supplement the action of the central or local autho rities, and to sustain the general interest in the prevention of excessive disease and premature mortality, this con ference recommends that the active co-operation. the OXFORD RACES-THURSDAY. Though the "city of learning" threatened to be do prived of its annual race meeting, through the unwarrant able interference of one "individual" resident, the com mittee, after considerable exertions, arranged all diffe rences, and hence the gathering—and a good one it was— yesterday on Port Meadow. The weather, ho wever, was during the morning by no means tempting, and showers fell at intervals. Notwithstanding this drawback the course was thronged with general company ; a large num ber of carriages lined the side of the course, and the stand and enclosure contained their usual quota. As will be seen from the accompanying return, the racing was of an aver age character. Mr. Brayl ey's extraordinary run of luck lately was further demonstrated by the success of Ends leigh. for the Stakes, which, with the other events, are fully described below.

The pace, which had beenvery slow, was slightly improved upon nearing the Stand, where Claremont took up the running, Dunkeld and Dr. Swishtail, side by side, being his immediate followe rs . A t the turn Threadbare ran up to the leaders, but bolting o u t o f t h e course was not further persevered with. Going along the far side End sleigh ran to the fore, and displacing Claremont the latter went on second, followed by Dunkeld, Lord Conyngham, and Dr. Swishtail in the order named, The Plover bringing up the rear. They ran with no material alteration till within three-quarters of a mile from home, when Lord Conyngham headed Claremont, but soon again gave way, and Mr. Bowes's horse went on in close company with Endsleigh to the distance, where Claremont was beaten, and Mr. Brayley's horse maintaining the lead to the end won cleverly by a length ; Stockowner was a bad third Dr. Swishtail was fourth; Lord Conyngham fifth; Dunkeld sixth; Plover beaten several lengths in the rear.

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA. RYDE, Aug. 17. MR. BROADWOOD'S PRIZES. Thursday morning again brought in a strong wind from W.S.W., and its strength apparently intimidated many of the cutters from starting, although it was understood the IsTiobe would not start, and the Volante had carried away her bowsprit at Southsea, the day before. The £5O prize given by Mr. Broadwood waft open to all cutters under 75 tons, old measurement, beljukging to any two or more Royal Yacht Clubs. To start at i 'D am. from their own anchors, and weigh them, with 36 fathoms of chain out.

No means of propulsion except fore and aft canvas ; booming out by the sheets only ; the tacks not to be loosened. Name. Tons. 0 wners. Volante Marina Vindex Niobe Astarte C hristabel Only the Marina and Astarte took up their stations, and the latter vessel evinced much drowsiness in getting under way, the Marina being at the Sand's Head by the time the Astarte had left her moorings. The tide was running west ward, and there was every probability of the vessels having an hour of its strength in• beating for the Nab after round ing the Owers. The Marina ran past the Nab at 9.52, the Astarte, now with all her fore and aft sails set, includingtop sail, being nine minutes astern. About this time, although there was a tremedous sea to run over, the Marina set her balloon foresail, and if any of the cutters that entered for the match had been present they would have found some diffi culty in miming with that vessel ; it was just her weather, and the manner she met and rode over.the heavy rolling and tumbling waves proved her eminent capabilities as a seaboat. The Pearl yawl was in company with the Marina in running for the Owers, but notwithstanding that fine craft's superior tonnage and power, she did not "run the latter vessel more than 100 fathoms. The Astarte at 10.15 was to those on board the Marina hull down, and certainly had fallen astern. The Marina sighted the Owers lightship at 10.38, on her lee bow, about six miles distant, and, as she was running a little wide of the mark, bore up a trifle and ran straight for the light,.the waves still run ning westward with increased disturbance, surging and sweeping as far as the eye could reach into a confused mass of slopes and foam. At 10.50 the Marina took in her top sail, big foresail, reefed main and foresail, and made all snug for the beat back after rounding the Owers. The Astarte did the same, and there was every necessity for so doing, as the sea was running tremendously high, and the wind blowing with extreme force. As the vessel jibed to round the Owers her booth swung over with such impetuous velocity that when it was brought up by the sheets the sudden strain and crashing jerk seemed likely to tear her dock out The Owers was rounded — H.

The Marina behaved splendidly, and her fine weather-used old skipper stood at the helm throughout the match, watching intently the bounding surging sea, and easing the vessel through each mountain -like wave, saying that "she took it kindly," as the water poured in upon her foredeck by tuns. From the Owers to the Nab the vessels made a long and a short leg, and arrived, still plunging their bows desperately intd the unsettled sea at— A. m. ... 1 30 1 Astarte H. M. 1 42 Marina The Marina, after passing the Nab, burst her • jib into shreds, the sheet tearing itself completely out of the sail. This accident delayed the vessel some minutes, as it is no easy matter to shift a sail in such a heavy seaway. After passing the Warner the waves were a little less violent in their undulations, and the vessels rode over them more easily. With a good reaching wind and tide, now again running against them eastward, the vessels passed Ryde pier about 2 o'clock, the Aline in the schooner match having at length succeeded in coming up to the Marina, and good naturedly, not to interfere with her prospects in the match she was engaged in, sailed under her lee to the front ; if similar good behaviour were always observed by vessels in passing others in different matches, where it can serve no good purpose in passing to windward, it would prevent much unnecessary ill-feeling. The Pearl was a mile and a half ahead of the Marina, and sailed with great speed, without having any vessel to contend with. Tho Marina was about 20 minutes ahead of the Astarte in rounding the West Buoy of the Middle. The Astarte, for the 99th time, gave up at the buoy, and sailed up Southampton Water. The Marina arrived off Ryde, and terminated the match at 3h. 49m. 555. It is rather singular that the Marina and Aline should have won the two prizes given by Mr.Broadwood two years ago in the match to Plymouth, but then each vessel had most of the crack craft afloat to contend with. Schooner Match for £lOO. The prize, presented by Mr. Broadwood, was sailed for by schooners above 100 tons, belonging to the Royal Vic toria Yacht Club.

The Meteor did. not start, consequently it was a walk, or The Meeting of the Allied Fleets, (FROM THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE MORNING POST.) CIEERBOURG, Aug. 16. We have in the English calendar no day analogous to the 15th of August in that of the French. Why this is 1 do not know, and leave it to persons curious in such mat ters to inquire. The fact is, however, incontestable. Perhaps we are too matter-of-fact a people to have a re gard for traditions, or possibly want that exuberant viva city 'and overflowing patriotism which requires that at least one day in the year should be set apart on which the nation can give vent to emotions in which the religious and the patriotic are intimately blended. Tho Irish pos sess many characteristics in common with the French, and the fete of the 17th of March—the anniversary of St. Pat rick's nativity —may to some extent bear comparison with that of the 15th of August. But the parallel is only par tial. The religious and the national elements are both present in the celebration of St. Patrick's Day, but, al though the festival may remind the Irishman of his creed and of his country, it brings with it no associations of national grandeur. If the Irishman loves his native soil it is for the same reason that Ulysses, on his return from his weary pilgrimage, hailed the barren rock of Ithaca as the sweetest land ho had ever seen, namely, because it is his home. The attachm en t which binds the Frenchman to France is, however, of a different characfer, and the reminiscences which he delights to awaken in his mind have some solid groundwork on which to rest. The Frenchman thoroughly identifies himself with his country, and, as France is unquestionably great, h e t a k es an inordinate pleasure in basking in the rays of h er re _ fleeted greatness. This feeling is so fully recognised, and , operates so strongly, that in no count r y i n t h e world probably are s() much pains taken by the Go vernment to let it be understood that the volition and the acts of the Executive.are in truth those of the en tire nation, and that the voice 'which is heard and the words which are uttered are in truth the voice and the words of France. And so it happens that the fete of the Emperor, which was :celebrated yesterday with more or less splen dour in every town in France, kindles an enthusiasm in which all, even those who may be opposed to the imperial regime, equally share. One dynasty or one form of govern men phrs n t_oe t rm m y na her en b re e ot m p o r d ive over e ri o r n a e b vs y t e or country o nl tt h ra e yr y r , i b gn u l o t tr yh w e, h s e : d world,her afa France, nre c h i ee thedr subject of a Frenchman's thoughts, all other considerations become subsidiary, and are for the time lost sight of. The fits of the Sovereign is a grand national festival on the oc casion of which the individual and the kingdom which he governs are absolutely identified. In most other countries the two ideas of the governor and the governed are kept entirely distinct, and hence we seek in vain out of France for a festival at all analogous to that of the 15th of August. What kind of weather they may have had in other parts of France I cannot' say, but a more wretched and miser able day than we were compelled to pass here it would be conceive. At early dawn a vast quantity of powder was burnt by the several vessels in the port and the batteries with which the fortifications are mounted in firing a salute of 21 guns, and those who were awakened by the uproar, and had the curiosity to look out of their bed-room win dows, saw nothing to encourage them to abandon their beds for the sake of a constitutional walk. The rain fell in torrents, the wind howled, and ever and again recurring squalls swept the streets with sheets of water. As the morning advanced the weather slightly improved, but scarcely ever for a moment did the rain cease to fall. The wind, which on the previous day had been strong, had in creased to a gale, and the only word that can be said in its favour is that, being from the south-west, it blew off the shore. The programme of the imperial fete is much the same wherever it is celebrated. In the churches 7'e Deuzns are sung, in the squares and open places military reviews are held, in the places of public amusement gratuitous per formances are given, on public and private buildings tri coloured banners are waved, and at night varied-coloured lamps are exhibited, and the evening is brought to a close with a vast expenditure of fireworks. Yesterday at Cher bourg, notwithstanding the unfavourable weather, the in variable programme was in all its particulars religiously observed. At 11 o'clock high mass was celebrated in the parish chrrch, and a Te Deum sung, and between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock the troops garrisoned here were paraded in the Place Napoleon under a drenching rain. The streets were in many places almost impassable with the crowds which had arrived in great numbers from Paris, but chiefly, as I suspect, from the outlying dis,Mets in the neighbour hood of Cherbourg flocked into' the town, and which. speedily reduced the commissariat to the greatest straits. As early as 10 o'clock in the morning, cafe au laic was not to be procured in the majority of cafes and restaurants, and a demand for a cutlet was met with a shrug of the shoulders which was more expressive than any words. Towards noon the beer fell short, and my own impression is that in the evening nothing was left but black coffee, the inex haustible petit verre, and cigars. The English fleet was, of course, the chief object of at traction, and, despite the boisterous weather, thousands thronged the quays and crowded into the steamers and fishing-boats which at frequent intervals conveyed their enterprising passengers for une promenade en rade. Dur ing the earlier portion of the day the weather was so thick that it was scarcely possible to distinguish the different vessels, notwithstanding their size and the liberal display of bunting with which their rigging was adorned. All the vessels in the roadstead were " dressed," and it only needed a few hours of sunshine to enable the many to whom nau tical displays were entirely unknown to enjoy a scene which for them, at all events, would possess the charm of novelty. And this pleasure, lam glad to say, was not de nied them. About two o'clock the rain ceased to fall, and the clouds cleared away, or scudded with such velocity be fore the wind that the sun was enabled to make itself seen. The mist which enveloped the fleet was swept out to sea, and the entire roadstead, with all it contained, became plainly visible. The Magenta, with her consorts, the Flandre and Heroine, on either beam, lay farthest from the shore and towards the eastern entrance of the port, whilst the English squadron occupied the centre of the roadstead. In the centre lay Rear-Admiral Sir Sidney Dacres' ship, her masts towering above the others, and showing at the main, as did all the other English vessels, the French flag. At the fore floated the English flag, 'while at the mizen was hoisted the square white flag with the cross of St. George. Between the flag-ship and the breakwater lay the new cupola ship the Royal Sovereign, whilst to the westward, and stretching in the direction of the arsenal, lay the other vessels of the Channel fleet. Again and again did two little steamers from Honfieur, and the English steamers which ply between this port and Poole, making the circuit of the roadstead, and return to find new cargoes ready for shipment ; whilst hundreds, undeterred by the frequent squalls and the turbulent sea, ventured out in the pilot boats and fishing-smacks in the faith of the most solemn assurances by their owners that they would return to shore not only safe and sound, but as dry as when they left it. Man is naturally credulous ; but, in the view of returning boats full of drenched passengers, it is more probable that those who ventured out were indifferent to a wetting than that they relied on the promises of the Cherbourg boatmen. The evenings continued fine, and the illuminations, such as they were, had nothing worse to contend with than a strong wind. The French do not, for the most part, or, at least, did not here employ gas, either to the same extent, and certainly not in the same manner, that we do on similar occasions.. The stars and monograms in which we delight are almost unknown in this country, and some attempt is invariably made, and almost always with success, to secure beauty of design in the arrangement of the means by which they produce their illuminations. Of course in a seaport town such as this, anything of this kind which is done must be on a very small scale. The facade of the Hotel de Ville was lit up with variegated lamps. The principal hotels in the town made a somewhat similar display, whilst the windows of the greater number of houses were hung with Chinese lanterns, which, from the facility and fre quency with which they took fire, suggested the idea that ere morning some one or more houses would probably come to grief. In the harbour the different vessels showed lights at their mast-heads, whilst on the breakwater a dazzling light produced by electrical agency throw a glare across the roadstead. At ten o'clock a display of fireworks took place on the ends of the piers, much more brilliant than any we are accustomed to see on the other side of the Channel, In the evening the Maritime Prefect enter tained at dinner the Lords of the Admiralty, the admirals of the French and English squadrons, and other naval officers of high rank. The Lords of the Admiralty and Sir Sidney Dacres were received on landing with a salute from the forts. CHERBOURG, Aug. 17. The French and English squadrons will leave this port to-morrow. BREST, Aug. 17. The fetes have been postponed, and will take place on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next. The English squadron will not arrive till Monday, on account of Sunday intervening. • THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF MAJOR :De VERE AT CHATHAM BARRACKS.—Major F.
