ANGLO-FRENCH FIETIVITIES AT BANSGATZ

RAMSGATE„ Morrnar Moor.
Ono of those social demonstrations which so much
tend to cement the amicable feeling between the people dthis country sad our French neighbours occurred to-day at
this fashionable and popular place of resort, under very
circumstances. The towns of Ramsgate and
Caleb g the moat advanced ports of the two nations, •
desire hs• been manifested by the residents of both to pay
some compliment to each other. The citizens of Caleb
having an • previous cootesion received the courtedes of their
lbw:negate friends, and her Majesty having recently paid •
visit to the Emperor, her ally, it wee determined that
an excursion on a large scale should be made by
the people of Calais to the town and harbour of
Rannegme, and the folks of this petty watering plan
decided to afford a hearty reception to their French visitors.
The Queen, of Calais, • fine paddle steamer, bad been char-
tered for the conveyance of the excursionists, and left
Calais at 7 o'clock this morning, having on board a large
number of ladies and gentlemen including some of the most
infirtential residents of Cable. ,Ty were accompanied by
the band of the Municipal Guard of Calais, in uniform and
can ying the French Eagle. Tha Queen ;rrived at Items•
gate at 9.45, and on her steering into the harbour, the pies
head being crowded at the time, the Municipal Bead struck
up the English National Anthem, which they performed with
great spint. This was taken up by the people on the pier,
sad the occupants of • number of small boats, which had inol-
looted, and the result was • hearty English cheer,
to watch as cordial a reapones was given by the
Frenchmen, and then the !Ismagats people, with their
best French accent, shouted, ' Viva rEmpereur." Having
landed on the jetty, the visitor, were received by Captain
Moen, the harbour-master, and other officials, in full uni-
form and a procession was formed, the bend playing several
martial and national airs while the whole of the pier was
paraded. This occupied sours time, and the ladies and
gentlemen from Calais proceeded to inspect the town,
amusing themselves in various ways till the roll of the drum
called the band together at 2 o'clock on the East Cliff, where
they played for an hour, and alter that for an equal period of
time on the West Cliff. At these performances collections
were made for the bent& of the poor of this town, to be dis-
tributed according to the discretion of the local authorities,
and we are assured the contributions were liberal.
The me of music played was wall selected and
UT ; for, while some of the moat popular and same-
tive music of the day was performed, the national melodies at
France and England were not omitted. A novel piece, en-
titled "Calais et Rameegate," set to the air of •• Patten
pour Is Syria," was sung, which expressed In retied lan-
guage a deers to continue the existing friendly relations be-
tween the nations, and the gratitude of the French visitors
fur the reception which had been given to them. Duziag
the whole day the numerous ships in the harbour and twain
were gaily dressed in the colours of various nations ; and at
the chief onion, en the pier, and on all the ships the
French tricolor was flyiag. The scene in the streetilz
resembled • lair ; ia fact, it appeared like a g
holiday. The parades mad sands were thronged, and the
multitude of gaily dressed persons, with the streamers and
banners which fluttered in the breeze from almost every
house top, presented a most animated spectacle. In the
afternoon, Mr. Pearce, recently a propietor of baths,
showed his expertness es a diver, swimmer, and floater. Is
the presence of thou/nods of persons on the BM ONE the
Ow, and the sands, he not only lighted a Ire ISS lissflag

entertainments of the day, at 7 o'alote rase ton embarked
on board the Queen ; and amid dm oboes cif thanes& font
the harbour and oh& she steamed out into the Channel on
her return to Calais.
