A concession has been gram ed by the Be gian Government for a railway, coma encing by a junction with the West Flanders line, about Midway heiween Courtray and Bruges. It passes through a rich agricultural c-untry, through or close to the town of Dixniude to Fumes, a town situate about three miles from the coast, at a vil lage called La Panne. A glance at the map, which accnmpani , s the prospectus, will show the imoortance of the communication which it is inten ,, ed to esta blish by means of this railway this importance will be better under stood when it is stated th tt the Belgian Government contemwates making at La Panne a harbour, which can be done at small expense. The roadstead at anne Is IP culiarly adapted for the forma ion of the harbour, which the Belgian Government contemplates making as soon as this line of railway is sufficlenay advanced, in order that La Panne may become the port whence the main between this country and Belgium can be despatched. ' It is naturally protected against the north and north-easterly. winds ; is accessible at all seasons and, during the lowest tides, has a depth of water varying from 20 to 24 feet. It has this advantage over Ostend, that it can.always be appro ched ; in addition to which it is twenty miles nearer to Dover —the passage from the latter port being shortened by upwards of two hours. A careful analysis has been male of the present trafti principally from &cum , ins e anatint from the Government, and the resu t is, that aft , r a , lowing 50 per c• nt. tor working expenses a very large percentage for Belgium - sufficient wouldbe e rrned to pay adi idend of 7 -et' cent. on the entire atilt al of 201,000/. This is wholly irre cpective of the large additional traffic which mu-t come upon this line when the intentions of the Belgian Government are ca tied out Th Concess onnaire has also obtained the refusal of the concession form lin , from Fairies to the Belgian fl ontier. near Dunkirk, and which, when the line is completed from Calais to the latter port, viii :le a source of achlitio.iel traffic to this railway The 13e1.2 -an Gov-rnment has autho • ised the subscription of a'espl tal of 21)0 VOL, upon which it guarantees a minimum interest of 8,000 1 . Th • contrac ors. who have great confidence in the retorns which the traffic will produce, have tonse,.ted to take 4 , ,000/ in shares, which e rntt to p trticipate in the goarantee of the govern ment, and which wll be only entitled to receive interest after the balattce 0 160,n , 0 . shrill have been pa'd 5 per cent ; this arrange ment ena les the dire tors to t row the guarantee of the Goren ment of 8,0 , 0/ per annum on that portion of the caoltal BOW 0.1:0P ,1 to the public, and which, .thet - efore, will. enjoy a positive guarantee of 5 pel c +4. from the B IgianGovernment. The preliminary surveys hay.• been made, and a contract hat been entered into wit highly respeetahle and responsible parties, Messrs. Riche Freres, to t , fit , the line - a. cording to thetCahir des Charges, and to .the satisfaction of the Government ; to provide the rolling stock ; pay interest durin, construction,.at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum; and all other expenses of adnakistration for the amount of the capital and to complete and open the line for traffic within eighteen months from the date of the approval ~f the definitive plans b‘ !he 'Go ernme t, and .hich the contractor= have agreed to make at th dS own cost, but subject to the approval of the Company's En gineer.

BOULOGNE, SA,TURDAY. This event, fraught .with so much interest to the destinies of Europe, has this day set the seal to an alliance consecrated and cernente by the blood already shed in defence of civilisation. The news of the glorious successes of the French arms in the Crimea, which only preceded her Majesty's arrival by a few hours, the recent destruction of Sweaborg by the allied fleets, and the commencement of another, and, it is hoped, final bombardment of the Russian !hies south of Sebastopol, were cir cumstances of such happy augury that the Queen seemed to bring victory and good for tune with her ; while the glorious harvest weather, with its associations of plenty and abundance, gave superadded joyousness to the Royal progress. A cloudless sky, it sea resembling a glassy inland lake, reflecting in every slight ripple the rays of a bril liant August sun, a people feverish and excited with a mingled feeling of enthusiasm and curiosity, but offering the respectful homage of its admira tion, and all the minor accessories and tokens. of welcome which the boundless taste and ingenuity of an accomplished people could devise have greeted Queen Victoria's entry into France. The Victoria and Albert Royal yacht, with the Queen and Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the members of the Royal suite, left Osborne at 4.30 this morning. She passed Cowes at 6.10., Botchy-head at 8.45, Dun geness at 11.25, was sighted at Boulogne about 12.30, and arrived off B ou l ogne a b ou t half-past 1. A mist overspread the Channel early in the morn ing, but it cleared away as the dayadvanced. When the. Royal yauht.bad steamed to within about four miles frOin Boulogne, Capt. Smithett, who piloted her, waited a few minutes either for the tide or for the arrival of the steamers forming the Royal . escort, or for both, and then the Victoria and Al bert, conspicuous by her three masts, her great size, and fine proportions, steamed majestically for the harbour. She carried the Royal standard of England at the main, the tricolor at the fore; the union jack at the bows, and the royal ensign at the stern. The English men-of-war forming the squad ron of honour were drawn up outside the harbour, and formed an imposing spectacle. Each ship had the British ensign and the tricolor floating at the main, and, each gave innumerable flags to the wind. At 25 minutes past 1 the first note of welcome was given by the sharp ring of a brass gun at the battery on the Capecure side, and one after another the royal salute came distantly- booming upon the ears of the royal visitors, who could now distinctly see from the deck the fine cathe dral-like dome of the church in the Upper Town, and the clean stone houses of the Haute Ville. The English men-of-war now took up the mimic thunder, and broadside after broadside pealed from them.. The ships were soon enveloped in smoke, and when it had cleared away and the Royal yacht had neared the squadron every ship appeared with manned yards. As the Victoria and Albert drew still nearer to the shore a long dark streak was seen stretching along the heights for miles to the right and left of the town. Lien wreaths and puffs of smoke, the gleam of bayonets, and by and by the distant rattle of musketry converted the long dark streak into lines of French soldiery. They not only crowned the heights, but wherever a lower ridge upon the cliffs gave " coigne of vantage" to a company of infantry there were drawn up Chasseurs de Vincennes, or the light companies of a French infantry regiment, whose sharp volleys alternated with the' deep-mouthed welcome of the ordnance of the port. When the Royal yacht crossed the bar, at 15 minutes to two, loud hurrahs broke from the crowds upon the left jetty. On the right jetty, ialong the lower stage near the water, was one uttbrolien line of F.ceecrt infantry, who presented arms as the Royal yacht passed. - Bands of music were stationed at intervals on both sides of the jetty, and the wonderfully spirited and vigorous roll of the French drums was continuous. The spectacle was now extremely striking. The quay contained an immense multitude. Tricoloured flags and British ensigns waved in profusion from every house, and the whole port was gay with streamers, flags, and garlands. Every window had its group of fair spectators. Opposite the Depot de Bagages was seen a square pavilion or small temple-like edifice, open at the sides and decorated in the style of the loggie of the Vatican, which; as it appeared the must conspicuous object along the quay, was or , SrAciliz supposed to be the place whore the Emperor awaited the arrival of his Royal visi tors. As soon as the Victoria and Albert drew alongside the pavilion her Majesty appeared at the ship's side, and gracefully acknowledged the salutations of the Emperor. A stage was thrown on board, the Emperor quickly ran up the plat form, and, after respectfully kissing her Majesty's hand, saluted her upon both cheeks, according to Imperial and Royal etiquette and the theory which presumes that crowned heads stand in sacred and fraternal relations to each other. The Emperor then cordially shook hands with Prince Albert, the Princyss Royal, and the Prince of Wales, and, giving his hand to the Queen, led her down the stage ito the pavilion, within which state chairs were placed.'on a dais; and here her Majesty, seated, received the congratulations of the civic authorities and the English residents. After a brief patise the Emperor led her M Aje,ty to one of the Royal carriages. The Princess Royal took her place beside the Queen, and Prince Albert and the Prince of \Vales took the opposite seats, while the Emperor mounted his horse, and rode upon her M tjesty's right hand. At this spectacle of the Emperor himself form ing*part of her Majesty's escort and guard of hunbur the acclamations of the multitude were re daibled, and cries of " Vive la ham!" and "Vive l'Empereur!" were mingled with the hearty cheers of. tlje English spectators. The French Minister of Waf rode at the opposite side of the Royal carriage ,and the Emperor's brilliant staff followed. Then came , a carriage containing the two ladies in at tendance upon the Queen, the Earl of Clarendon, and the Marquis of Breadalbane. The other mem bers 'a the Royal household followed, and the Dragoons and Lancers brought up the rear. The road 'was kept by French infantry, whose drums and bugles made military music as the Royal cavalcade slowly proceeded through dense crowds to the railway station. Her Majesty, who ap peared to be in excellent health and spirits, acknowledged in the most gracious manner the vivats of the people. The Queen wore a white bonnet and blue satin visite, and Prince Albert a Field-Marshal's uniform, with the blue riband of the G trter. The Emperor wore the uni form of a general of division, with the Grand Cor don of the Legion of Honour. The preparations made at the railway station at Capecure to do honour to the Royal guests were on a 'scale of surpassing magnificence. A sum of 25,000 f, bad been voted for these decorations, and good taste as well as liberality had presided over the distribution. Two lodges were constructed at the entrance of the station, and between the lodges a triumphal arch, 75 feet high, upon a scale of im posing grandeur, was constructed. The lower part of this arc de triomphe was of open gilt lattice-work, 40 feet high, and adorned with flowers and evergreens, tastefully disposed. At the spring of the arch was a green scroll, with the words " Welcome to France" in large gold letters. The arms of England and France rose above the scroll, and a colossal figure re presenting the Genius of Civilisation held aloft a scroll with a suitable inscription. The flags of England and France, Turkey, and Sardinia wa ve d sidebysid side, and shields, b anners , em bl azonments, streamers, and garlands of flowers were distributed through the various compartments of the gigantic structure. The two lodges on each side of the arch were also adorned with flags, and high masts bore aloft theimperial and Royal standards of France and. England. Within the courtyard were three carpeted lows of seats for a select company, the backs of the stages being covered with velvet. The belfry tower over the grand entrance, the arches of the windows, and the pilasters had their appro priate standards, eagles, green leaves, an d fl owers, and initial-letters in gold upon velvet. How can one describe the marquise, with its roof of velvet, its fine curtains of red velvet, its six cande labra entwined and overflowing with flowers, its exquisitely designed carpet—but a carpet not worthy, as it should seem, of such visitors, for it is covered with velvet where they are to walk ? The reception' room was a wonder of French uphol stery. Its walls hung with rich red velvet, strewed with .spangled bees and leopards, the openings covered with muslin curtains and velvet hangi ng . with golden acorns—its tribunes covered with vel. 12 h vet g eand vaseso f flowers embroidered s w u with n c d o e a d t s f r o o f m a r r a t h e s and its one magnificent flower vase in the centre. its richly-designed carpet covering the whole spact must 'in turn give place to the marvels of the Queen's reception-room, with its door lined within with white velvet, it walls of red and white silk hangings crimped ; its mirrors, toilet tables, couches, sofas , savl, chain disposed with that taste and eye to ensemble which made the spec-: tutors w nder whether Parisian taste in deco ration could greatly transcend the spl'endouri of the Bonlupe railway-station. In the station itself, where the Royal train was drawn up, were seats filled with English and French fashionables. Upon the arrival of the Royal party at the sta tion the directors of the railroad were presented, and, after a short delay, the Royal party were ushered to their carriages, In the first saloon the Emperor, the Queen of England, the 'Prince Con sort, the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal took their seats. At half-past 2 o'clock the train, containing 9 carriages, glided noiselessly from the station amid a salvo of artillery. Montreuil was the first station decorated in honour of the visitors. At Abbeville, the fine cathedral of WhiCh . is seen from the station, considerable preparations were made to do honour to the guests of the Emperor. Two thousand cavalry and infantry were drawn up in view of the railway station, at the entrance of which was a large inscription, " Welcome to Franco," surmounted by an eagle and surrounded by flags. The Mayor rind civic authorities of Abbeville awaited the arrival of the train at the platform, and proffered their congratulations, which were received and acknowledged by her Majesty in a manner that won the hearts of all Abbeville. After clearing the railway station the tower of the cathedral again came in sight, and the graceful fringe of trees on both banks of the river could hardly fail to be admired. "The country here is richly wooded and picturesque, and groves of trees and wooded slopes give place to cornfields. Up to this point the country had been smiling, not to say laughing, with plenty. Fields of corn, like " golden shields cast down from the sun," had waved in rich luxuriance, awaiting the tardy reaper. France ha.saio IrditlidiO send her sturdy out-door labourers at the precise moment when they are wanted,' and the agricultural diStricts seem in many places so thinly peopled that the ripe corn stands.and sheds its ripest grains before the sickle can be brought into the field. Up to Abbeville the train dashed through a district con taining excellent crops of grain. The scenery then changed to cattle-bearing meadows and the region of the willow and pollard, while villages of thatched cottages embowered among t ree s with a low-spi re d church in the middle were seen, and passed as soon as seen ; and while looking at these changes of the railway phant asmagor i a the train arrived at Amiens. Here the magistracy of the district were as sembled, and the daughter of the Prefect, an inte resting young lady of 17, habited in white, ap proached the Royal carriage, and timidly but gracefully presented to the Queen a splendid bouquet, which her Majesty received with more than Queenly courtesy. The progress of the train. was extremely rapid after leaving Amiens, and the Royal party arrived safely at 10 minutes past seven o'clock at Paris, the journey having been performed in four hours and a half. PARIS, SATURDAY NIGHT. The reception which greeted Queen Victoria from the inhabitants of Paris will long be remern bered by every Englishman who witnessed it. In the honour there done to our constitutional Sove reign the whole nation will feel that it shares, and on their part the people of the French metropolis appeared eqiially animated by the conviction that they gave expression, for the time being, to the hospitable and generous sentiments of their great country. Die recent visit of the Emperor Napo leon to London did not more unmistakeably repre sent the cordial interchange of friendship between powerful neighbouring States than the scene which the streets of Paris witnessed-this evening, • and, although th e t wo occas i ons are b roa dl y mar ked out from each other by the different modes in which the strong emotions of the hour found a voice, both bad alike stamped upon' them those essential characteristics which give to public events a high historic interest. We do not possess in our metro polis any of those facilities for display which this splendid city so abundantly comm an d s : O ur s m o ky . atmosphere, our dingy, brick-built, stuccoed streets, and the awkwardness of our people in getting up rapidly decorative effects compel us to rely mainly upon the moral influence of vast numbers in con veying to the minds of illustrious foreigners a notion of what we are and what we think. We have no military array adequate to hold in splendid pomp any long line of procession. We can scarcely hang out a flag gracefully, and the thin blue line of po licemen which usually guards our streets on such occasions, however significant_ of a well : dispose& pupulaee :suss g ood civil 'goversssons. is hot very captivating to the eye. Here; on the other hand, you have a cloudless sky, spacious thoroughfares set off on either hand by stately architecture, a noble army always at hand for the purposes of spectacle, and, above all, a people who, from the highest to the lowest, have more or less strongly developed artistic tendencies. The spectacle which the route of the Queen's progress presented to-day in all these respects rendered it a remarkable con trast to the Emperor's reception in London. By far the most striking scene then presented was the aspect of the Borough and Lambeth, the deep valleys of unwashed humanity through which the Imperial cortege passed, and the ringing cheers with which our working classes welcomed the ally of their Queen. Here everything was different. Instead of alighting at the station of the railway by which she travelled to Paris the Queen was conveyed to the terminus of the Strasbourg line, as best adapted by its architecture for adding to the ceremonial effects of a grand reception. Had it been necessary to make the circuit of Paris to gain that object no doubt it would have been accom plished, and the same studious attention to what ever could give increased lustre to the occasion was perceptible in all the arrangements. This will be rendered obvious by the following details of the preparations within the terminus and outside along the line of procession :—On the platform, magnificently carpeted, and fitted up as a grand saloon, were collected the railway officials, the corps municipal, the councillors of state, and the chief civil and milita r y a u th or iti es . From thel balco nies overlooking this area numbers of gaily-dressed ladies looked down upon the pomp of the recep tion. Overhead lines of pendent streamers along the noble span of the semicircular roof swayed gracefully, while the succession of arches on which the side walls rest were cleverly hung with portieres, which completed the furnished aspect of the in terior. The entrance hall to the station had been prepared as a special saloon for her Majesty, and there were placed some fine orange trees in full blossom. Without, on the principal façade of the building, were displayed along the lines of the architecture draperies of purple velvet brocaded with gold, festooned with laurel wreaths, having as their supports gilded eagles, and the whole splendidly set off by terminal groups of standards, bearing the flag of England, supported on either side by these of France, Sardinia, and Turkey en faiscmux. The area the courtyard was also cos vered with beds of flowers ; and on the flat roofs of the lodges at either side extemporised gardens had been established. At regular distances, all down the boulevards, tall banner standards had been erected, from which long graceful streamers, suspended in the Venetian style, waved with every breath otair ; and besides these street decorations each house had its separate manifestations of wel come, sometimes in the form of the familiar tri colour, sometimes in a bit of tapestry hung out from a balcony, sometimes in the less pretending shape of, coloured lanterns strung across from window to window, even to the lofty gar ret. It was curious to observe the intense desire displayed by all classes to make this wonderful city look its best and fairest before the eyes of our island Queen, to inspire her Majesty and the members of the Royal family who accompanied her with a diie appreciation of the claims which Paris has to be considered the gayest and most brilliant capital in the world. Certainly those claims were never more overpoweringly displayed. The great breadth of the Bouvelards and the importance of preserving the series of splendid perspectives which they present uninterrupted prevented a series of triumphal arches ; but along the route of th e procession many trophies had_ been erected, some of them including sculpture of considerable merit, and bearing inscriptions suitable to the occasion. At one point the names of the depart ments inscribed in shields drew attention to the sentiment that Paris on that occasion represented all France ; at another it was some institution or private company close at hand, which, rush ing to the edge of the trottoir, vindicated . its importance by setting up a special sign of wel come. The one triumphal arch was really a fine piece of censtruction, and looked exceedingly im pairs of co posing.' Raised by the artistes of the Opera close to t he Rue le Pelletier, ithad the inside of its piers and Intrados covered with Imperial bees, the - terminal ngu a r l e s e a o g v l e e r s eachwit with pier extended being wings.formed lossA by y several other ;Joints chains of streamers, ov_cords to bear souse pendent banner of inscription, crossed thethorough fare, but otherwise the grand series of vistas w hi c h the line of the Boulevards commands was not dis turbe4,. It jawortliy of remark that not only did, the 0- 1855. • . I • deeorations extend 'throughout the route itself, but also, along . the side Streets:Which:open up from it, and that these were hung with flags and trophies of evergreens as far as the eye could penetrate down them. This was particularly observable with that noble street,. the Rue de la Paix, which was so bril liantly ornamented as to, make one almost wonder that the cortege was not irresistibly led'to enter the Place de la Concorde and the Champs .Elysees in that direction. Whether by fortunate accident or skilful premeditation, the decorations appeared gradually to diminish as the more open space was gained ; but even there enough was retained to preserve the festive character of the occasion and to, heighten the ordinary effect of . the coup crceil. Those who do not kuow Paris will lave' some difficulty in realising the splendid aspect of the line of Boulevards to-day, with the. bright sun light pouring down from a sky without a clitud, the pavements and carriage-way swanning with people, the lofty houses with their jabausied win dows thrown open and filled with spedtators, the extensive range of balconies all occupied, and in every direction that indescribable air of excitement manifest which marks the anticipation of a great public event. - Nothing could be finer, and Lon doners might well gaze with a sense of humilia tion at a spectacle which the inferior_ architecture, of their own metropolis renders it impoisible for them to approach. The road of the procession lay along the Boulevard de Strasbourg, the Port' St. Denis, the Boulevards Bonne Nouvelle, Poisson niere, Montmartre, Italiens, Des Capucines, and the Madeleine, down. the Rue Royale, across the Place de Ja'Concorde - and by the, Champs Elysees, the new Avenue de I'lmperatrioe, and the. Bois de Boulogne to St Cloud. About 4 o'clock the troops to the number; it is said, of 100,000 men,' half of •th a And • half of the National, Guard, be gan to take up, their positions on this immense and splendid route. The former held the left side of . the thoroughfare, and the latter the right, while, penned in behind them, the myriads of spectators gradually settled into their places and waited patiently f.)r the arrival of the illustrious strangers. The Prefect of Police set down the number of people assembled at 800,000, and, con sidering the vast accession made within the last few days to the population of Paris, it did not probably fall much short of that mighty aggregate. At par ticular points along the Boulevard a thin stream of passengers might occasionally be observed in slow movements fighting their way through the fixed and immovable masses around them, but otherwise all movement was completely at an end, and for hours those who occupied the windows, balconies, and housetops had nothing better to do than to watch, now a band of young Polytechnic students, now the officers of different regiments, now the municipal authorities of the banlieues, now a party of sergens de ville in their black cocked hats, blue coats, .and smart white pantaloons sauntering or moving quickly to and fro in the wide central space between the lines of the military. At one moment a Gene ral of Brigade or Division passed by, followed by his staff ; at another, some of the mounted-Gen darmerie, and occasionally two or three of the Etat-Major, distinguishable by their plumes of red and blue feathers. What afforded most amusement to the crowds was- when solitary dogs found their way between the lines, and, astonished by the no velty of their situation and the roar of laughter which pursued them, set off at a speed worthy of the camp hunts in the Crimea. A curious illustra tion of the respect paid here to persons of humble station was manifested in the presence within the lines of a fine old sailor whose breast was decorated with medals for acts of devotion in saving human life. Such honourable testimonials, it was remarked by our countrymen, would hardly have been so recognised on any similar occasion in -- England. Time wore on, the sun set in splendour be behind a bank of clouds, and then after the fervent heat of the day the cool shades of evening began to settle down upon the city ; the faces iu the balco nies and at the windows grew darker, and fears spread abroad that the Queen's arrival would be layed until darkness had snatched from the as sembled multitude that opportunity for gratifying at once their hospitable feelings and their curio sity ; seven o'clock came and no word of the Royal train. The bands of the different regi ments had played at intervals to occupy attention, but this could not go on for ever, and even the anxiety to see the , Royalty of England has its limits. The reputation of our Queen for' punctu ality was known, and the people wondered that she satrould be behindhand. It got about that the arrival at Boulogne had not taken place till an hour and a-half after the time appointed, and if some por tion of that delay was not made up on the journey to Paris the procession through the city must be made in the dark. At a quarter past 7 o'clock the dull booming of the Royal salute began, and in stantly the hoarse roar of satisfaction swelled along the line of the Boulevards. The salute of 21 guns for the Queen had hardly died away when that of 101 guns for the Emperor commenced, and this in its turn had scarcely ceased when the cortege was sweeping on its way through the city. First came a troop of cavalry of the Municipal Guard at a sharp trot, then a double line of Sergens de Ville on foot, then the Commander of the Municipal Guard with his staff, then an advanced guard of the Guides, and behind these the Imperial outriders in their liveries of green and gold. An open barouche fol lowed, drawn by four horses, and in which were seated the Queen and the Princess Royal on the one side and the Emperor and his Royal Highness Prince Albert on the other. Her Majesty, who looked exceedingly well, was greeted most enthusi astically, and graciously bowed her acknowledg ments to the multitude. Nothing could exceed the cordiality - and earnestness of her reception ; and from the blouses on the pavement the demonstra• tions of respect were quite as fervent as from the wealthier classes at the windows and on the bal conies. It was so along the whole route of the procession, though the declining light compelled the travellers to quicken their pace, and thus seriously abridged the opportunity for a full display of the public feeling. There can be no doubt that the people of Paris share with the Emperor and with France the gratification which this visit excites. Behind the Royal carriage came a second containing the Prince Napoleon, the Prince of Wales, Lord Clarendon, and the Marquis of Breadalbane. Others followed containing the suit of the two Sovereigns ; and' to these succeeded a rear guard of the Guides. The Prefect of Police, the Prefect of the Seine, and other high officers of State closed the procession. At several points along the route her Majesty's attention appeared to be caught by the vociferous cheers of her own subjects. This was particularly , marked opposite the house of Sallandrouze de La mornaix, who had kindly placed his large balcony at the disposal of the foreign jurors and commis sioners now assembled in Paris on the business of the Exhibition. Lights had already begun to ap pear in the windows, and the commencement of an illumination to counterbalance the gathering dark ness of night, before the Emperor and his guests had traversed the long line of the Boule vardi.' The trades unions, therefore, who early in the day took up their position in the Champs Elysees, and the fashionable world which went out in large numbers to the Bois de Boulogne, could have seen very little of the pro cession. But this disappointment there will be no doubt be several 'opportunities afforded of redeem ing during her Majesty's stay, amt, in the mean time, it is satisfactory to know that her Majesty , and the Members Of the royal family who accom pany her have arrived at St. Cloud with no more serious drawback than a slight delay in the time fixed for the completion of their long journey. They are expected to attend the chapel at the embassy to-morrow, and to visit the Palace of the Beaux Arts on Monday morning. The programme during their stay includes, among other festivities, a grand ball at the Hotel de Ville, which is ex pected to be 'a very grand affair. It is said that the Emperor, amid the pressing cares of government at this present moment, has nevertheless given great attention to the fetes with which he proposes to celebrate the visit of his illustrious guests, and that these have been organised on a scale of magnificence unparalleled in the annals even of the French Court. (From the Moniteur of yesterday.) At twenty minutes past seven 21 cannon shots saluted the arrival of the royal train. An immense hurrah, uttered by the crowd, replied to the roar of the artillery. Her Majesty the Queen Victoria was greeted with the loudest and warmest acclamations. Ge neral La Wcestine, in the name of the 9th Batta lion of the Nationll Guard, doing duty at the ter minus, offered her a magnificent bouquet, which her Majesty graciously accepted. The procession then commenced amid the cries, a thousand times repeated of Vive la Rein° d'Angleterre ! Vive l'Empereur !. Vive le Prin ce Albert ! The bands of the regiments played di m - g the passage of their Majesties " God save the Queen.' L The Queen took her seat is ac,Oho a la Dau- - - [ PRICE 4D• STAMPED SD• mont, drawn by four horses ;• she had. on her left the Princess Royal ; in front sat the Emperor, in the uniform of a Lieutenant-General, and his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, in the uniform of a Field-Marshal. - • In the second carriage rode his Royal Highness ,he Prince of Wales, and his Imperial Highness :he Prince Napoleon. The ladies and the personages who accompanied her Britannic Majesty to France, and who h a d taken their seats in the other carriages, are :—the Marchioness of Ely and Lady Churchill, Ladies of Honour ; Miss Bulteel, Maid of Honour ; the Earl of Clarendon, Minister of Foreign Affairs ; his Excellency Lord Cowley, the English Ambassador, and the Marquis of Breadalbane ; the Marquis of Abercorn, Lord Alfred Paget, the Hon. Colonel Phipps, the Hon. Major-General Grey, Colonel Biddulph, and ::•it James Clark. On leaving the terminus, a deputation of pupils of the Ecole Polytechnique, who have had relatives killed before the walls of Sebastopol, wearing crape round the arm, was stationed along the passage of the Queen. The Queen, to whom the Emperor pointed them out, appeared to regard them with much interest. The acclamation; the hurrahs did not cease re sounding along the entire length of the procession. In proportion as the day waned, an illumination, sudden, brilliant, and fairy-like, dispersed the dark ness, and preceded like a train of flame the passage of their Majesties. This new coup d'a'il, added to the programme, carried to its climax the enthu siasm and ecstacy of the crowd. At a quarter to 9 the cortege arrived at St. Cloud, announced by salvos of artillery. Her Majesty the Empress stood at the.foot of the staircase, accompanied by her Imperial Highness Madame the Princess Mathilde, by the ladies and officers in waiting of the Emperor and Empress, also by the Marshals of the Palace, by the ladies and officers appointed to wait on her Majesty the Queen of England during her sojourn, by their excellencies the great officers of the Crown, by his Excellency the Minister of State and the Empe ror's household, and by his Excellency the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs. Immediately after ascending to the grand apart ments the Emperor presented to her Majesty the Queen the ministers, the great officers and the offi cers of his household. At half-past nine their Majesties entered the Diana Gallery, where dinner was served. Their Majesties afterwards returned to the state apart ments, where they remained till eleven. This evening St. Cloud, Boulogne, as also the whole of Paris, are splendidly illuminated. Her Majesty the Queen of England landed at Boulogne at a quarter past two. The Emperor had bone to meet her Majesty, and cordially em braced her on the steps of the landing-place. Their Majesties then proceeded to the terminus, and the train started for Paris. Picked companies from the regiments of the camp at Boulogne and St. Omer lined the passage of the cortege, and from her carriage the Queen of England could see collected on the falasies (downs) an army of 40,000 men, whose enthusiastic cries reached her ears. SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNA LS. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO PARIS. (Prom the Times of this day.) After the most brilliant reception which the ingenuity of a nation skilled above all others in the preparation and arrangement of public pageants and the real enthu ,iasm of a people excited by the stirring events of the day to a warmth of feeling which they do not usually evince could prepare Queen Victoria has entered Paris, and is now fairly launched in that round of festivities which are to make her week's residence in the capital of her ally one long ovation. It is the privilege of the heads of a social and political hierarchy like that of England not only to- feel and act for themselves, but to impersonate and represent the feelings and impulses of great nations. Circumstances in themselves light and trivial—a gesture, a word, a momentary outburst of feeling —may have, besides their primary and moment ary significance, a secondary and more extended one, which may constitute, in one point of view, the slightest possible occurrence, and in another a very considerable historic event. The English public will carefully spell over the chronicles of the week with the hope to find in them ever-recurring evidence of the good feeling which recent events, if they have not caused, have at least developed, and we cannot doubt that our expec tations in this behalf will be more than gratified. Fine weather, stirring music, splendid equipages, glittering escorts, triumphal arches, and all the panoply of popular solemnities can be commanded for any purpose or on any occasion ; but the real and heartfelt sentiment of two great nations seeking for expression by every avenue of the eye and ear has something in it more impressive than processions, more enduring than all the ornament and glitter so easily put on to order, and so readily laid aside like an old stage property. We must leave, then, to our reporters the details of the adornments which lent splen dour to the landing at Boulogne and to every step of her Majesty's progress, and endeavour to realise as far as is possible with what sentiments the French nation really greet the Sovereign of the neighbouring island, now for the first time for so many hundred years coming in peace and friendship to their capital. The present institutions of France do not permit of our arriving at a conclusion on this subject with the same confidence on the other as on this side of the Channel, and there exists in France so wide a diversity of opinions, not merely as to the dynasty which ought to govern, but as to the farm of government which ought to exist, that we cannot expect to find complete unity in any sentiment, however natural and well founded. Yet, we are happy to believe that on the present occasion all Frenchmen of all parties, who have not forgotten in the rage of faction their paramount duty and affection to the great country of which they are citizens, will unite in cordial rejoicing at the auspicious event which seems to set a seal on the union and alliance of the two nations. The adherents of those families which still put forward c:aims to the throne of France, may, indeed, feel some natural annoy ance at the close intimacy which they see existing be tween the Queen of England and a successful competitor for empire, and consistent Republicans can hardly view without a pang the high and palmy fortune of him who has inherited their hopes and their labours. But Legi timists, Orleanists, and Republicans will, we doubt no t, alike remember that, whatever be their differences as to internal politics, they all have an equal interest in see leg France honoured and respected, , and in knowing that the good understanding between the two nations and their mutual esteem for each other survive every change of Government, are permanent elements amid never-ending vicissitudes, and increase more and more in spite ofeverything which might tend to thwart or dinainish them. We apprehend the visit of the Queen of England is popular with all classes of Freachmea, because a cor dial alliance, an intimate understanding between the two countries, is popular. As far as the present war is concerned, the balance beeias to incline so rapidly to the side of England and France that we cannot doubt the immediate object of the alliance which is symbolised by the visit of Queen Victoria to Paris will, in no long time, be accomplished, and that England and France will emerge from their present struggle with an increase of fame, a higher character, and more complete oonfi dence in each other. These are the first fruits to be hoped, and, we trust, very shortly to be gathered, from the present alliance. But it would be a narrow view to limit the advantages of the alliance to what is passing in the Crimea, in the Baltic, or to whatever other shore the fortunes of war may drive our fleets and armies. We view our alliance as a guarantee to the whole world that lawless power shall never again be suffered to crush under her armed heel the claims of right and justice ; that these two great States shall henceforth be consolidated into a power strong without arrogance, and willing and able to protect civilisation from those barbarous inroads which seemed but a little while ago to threaten Europe, and all her arts and all her cultiva tion, with the fate of the lower Roman empire. Most appropriately was the Queen encountered, on her first landing, by the effigy, not of Victory or of Fame, ' but the gentler Genius of Civilisation. Once relieved from the necessity of constant and armed vigilance against the unwearied disturber of the peace of nations ; once dispensed from the duty of standing sentinel over the threatened liberties of mankind, what may we not ex pect from the energies of two associated peoples fully put forth in the generous rivalry of the arts of peace ?

The Royal party i who were attended by a numerous suite, walked to the castle at noon, where they were received by the deputy constable, Mr. J. Morgan. The ex-Queen few tered , the celebrated edifice leaning on the arm of the Front the Daily News of th is d a Duke de Nemours. Her Majesty did not ascend the ( y.) Eagle Tower, but the younger members of the family The Queen of England is at this moment in France, did, and expressed themselves much pleased with the without a single guard to defend her from the possible view from it. Her Majesty was plainly attired in slight attacks of the "hereditary enemy" of England. There mourning, and the Royal Duchesses wore hate. Olt i s the Queen of this mighty nation, utterly denuded 'of leaiing, the party bowed graciously to the crowds as- • all protection, save that which is assured to her by the bembled,..and proceeded to the abridge Arms Hotel, - chivalrous sentiments of those amongst whom she has whence, having lunched, they immediately started to thrown herself, but yet without a single doubt as to the visit the Pass of Llanberis.

With all due deference to Napoleon 111., the chosen of eight millions, we assert that at this moment , ki t -77- -F - 1 he divides his popularity even in Fr ance w i t h Q a ee nl, " Pcrfide Albion," in the gentl e gu i se o f moat gracious Queen, is reposing in loving confidence on the heart of France. Without one sentimental appeal to chronology or topography, which we leave to learned contemporaries ; without lugging forward that eternal Froissart, doomed at the present day to be resuscitated. at the pleasure of any one who wishes to point a par,. graph ; without, in short, any l um b er ing historical frAci". in the way of proof, we are safe in declaring that this is one of the most significant facts in modern history. It is a fact which has such a large eignifice i nce- that it may be understood by any-one who..knowf,Ao_more of history than may be learned by the patllia of.tbirecords of the events of the last twenty years. During tip time the antagonism between the countries has several times reached its height. Princes of the blood royal in France have endeavoured to found political capital on this an tagonism, and have sought popularity by showing how delightfully the shores of England might be , fekivaged at the smallest trouble and cost. French stateiti have appealed to this antagonism, and have mounted Several steps of the political ladder by denonciation of ..p er fid e Albion." French writers and musicians have sought to make themselves a name by writing and giving musical emphasis to some such phrases as, being interpreted, mean " Never, oh never, shall the English reign in France." But all this haze, the product of the hot fire of political s e lfi s h ness , a ppli e d by princes and statesmen, - writers and artists, to the stream of an imperfectly. educated public opinion, has been swept away, never, we hope, to return, and the two nations see each other clearly, with all their great qualities sharply defined in the transparent atmosphere of truth. This is a fact which wants no illustration from ancient or mediaeval history. It is one which appeals to the most important feelings, awakened by the knowledge of re cent facts. Two mighty sovereigns can visit each other without any difficulty, except that arising from the tre mendous enthusiasm excited by the subjects of each, The circumstances of the ceremony, as they have been related in the public journals, are calculated to bring for ward the greatness of the fact in its strongest light. The Emperor of the French advances to the edge of his do minions hat in hand, to welcome his greatest ally. The inhabitants of his vast empire cheer the Queen in unmistakeable "hurrahs," a cheer which they have learned for the purpose of giving her welcome, in terms with which her ears have been lung acquainted. They wish her to believe herself, for the time, amidst her own subjects. They would desire that even the temporary ss arising from the feeling of absence from her ind should be forgotten. The only misdeal strains hears are those of the familiar air of "God save ,- k• In" pealing from a vast chorus of instruments and In the midst of this jubilant chorus the Queen uneasin native I that she the Qua voices. lands. She is received by the descendant of Napoleon and the inheritor of his power with respectful homage. He raises her hand to his lips, and salutes her after the; fashion of his country by kissing her on both cheeks. He then constitutes himself, for the time, the head of her Majesty's body-guard. He hands the whole royal party into the carriage, and, mounting his horse, rides on the left side, followed by his staff. This is her escort to the station. Her reception there is worthy of the Emperor and the mighty nation whose destiny he con trols. Amidst the cheering of countless numbers of Frenchmen, the Queen of England and her Imperial host depart for the capital of France. Making all allo mance for the evanescence of enthu siasm excited by peculiar circumstances, it cannot be denied that something solid will be deposited as the re sult of the meeting which has just taken place. It is as much a meeting of the nations as of the Sovereigns. Most of us remember, some years back, a visit paid to and Engl: .by a Sovereign who came recommended by all the dynasties on the continent. He was considered a model of an Emperor by every court in Europe. He brought, however, no credentials from the nations over whose destinies those courts held sway. Nicholas was feted by Sovereigns whose subjects cursed him in their hearts. He arrived here, and the Queen, in the exercise of that courtesy which a brother Sovereign claimed, gave the Czar the benefits of all the rites of hospitality. But the people were dumb. He showered his money about right imperially, but be never obtained hismoney's worth. He bought jewels, but not a single smile. The aristocracy fawned on him, but the people hated him. How true is the instinct of a nation ! This man, the pet of the dynasties, goes back to Russia to embroil all Europe in a war. The silence of the nations was pro phetic., They smelt blood as the tyrant passed among them. Contrast the reception which the Autocrat ex perienctd with that of Napoleon 111. in England, and that of Queen Victoria in France. The people in both countries know that there is something far more signi ficant in the meetings of these two Sovereigns than a mere interchange of regal courtesies. They know that in this Case the Sovereigns are the exponents of the feel ings of the citizens of each country. They know that such meetings are a pledge that the league against de spotism( and barbarism rail be strengthened. " Civili zation" was the word inscribed on the gigantic scroll held by the status surmounting the triumphal arch under which the Queen entered the railway station. It is the cause of civilisation which the union of England and Fri nations If they flood of land the visi friends', ►nce is intended to advocate. While these two remain united, civilisation will not retrograde. separate, civilisation will be overwhelmed by a barbarism from the North. The people of Eng d France know this, and recognise therefore in of Queen Victoria not only a seal of present ip, but an earnest of future security. MR. M. T. BAINES.
