WOWING

A SPECIAL EDITION of the ■ EXPRESS,"
containing the remits of the day's Races, is ',ob-
liged every evening daring the Sporting Season, at
six o'clock.

Abraocow the jealousies and suspicions raised in
this country by the completion of the works at Cher.
loam and their fatal inauguration have bees,
to a great extent, removed by the frankness of
the EMPEROR in making England party to the
festivity, and by the readiness with which the
Imperial invitation has been accepted, it instill, per-
haps, necessary to make more generally known what
the redoubtable Cherbourg really is ; for, although
the English participators in the celebration may
cordially join in it, as an expression of amity and,
alliance, distant lookers-on, less aware of facto, may
still half suspect the presence of our Court and fleet
to be a species of either time-serving or humiliation.
In a word, then, Cherbourg is principally a port
of refuge. Along the entire course of the Channel,
nature, which has given England two or three good
and natural harbours, has given France not one.
We are dissatisfied with those we have, and are
spending large sums to form, deepen, and protect
ethos. The French have confined their attention to
Cherbourg, their only port in the Channel. It has
been made a safe refuge for shipping of even the
greatest draught by a huge breakwater. And on
this breakwater is concentrated the principal labour
and expense of Cherbourg. When the present Rll-
- mounted the throne this breakwater was
completed up to the level of the water at certain
periods of the tide. What NAPOLEON 111. has
done is to raise it altogether above the sea,
and thus enable it to afford efficient shelter and
protection. Behind this breakwater, vessels can
always find anchorage and safety. This, of course,
renders it useful, alike in war eqd in peace. Trading
vessels had previously no French harbour of refuge
to make for in the Channel when assailed by sudden
tmapests. Now they have Cherbourg, most conve-
niently situated between Cape Finiaterve and
Hann. English and American merchant vessels are
now very often indebted for safety to the facilities
of getting behind the breakwater of Cherbourg.
But the harbour has, no doubt, even more im-
portant advantages in war. It enables the French to
have a Channel fleet. Without Cherbourg the
Government of France may, indeed, send as
many vessels into the Channel as may please them.
But along the French coast they have no such
anchorage as Spithead, and no such shelter se the
Isle of Wight affords, except behind Cherbourg
breakwater. But are we to entertain jealousy, or
manifest apprehension, because the French, by dint
of art and money, form for themselves what eaters
has gratuitously given us--a harbour is the Channel
where bests may safely lie at anchor, For our part,
we think it the extreme of littleness in those wbo
aspire to guide the opinions of the British public, to
display jealousy or susceptibility at the completion
af mach a port.
Then, we believe another dock has lately bees
added, and the railroad—inevitable fact I—has been
just opened all the way between Paris and Cher-
bourg. This railroad has been executed by English
engineers, with English capital. Will that, too, be
denounced as treason? Are Mr. LOCUS and Mr.
BIARRET to be considered bad patriots for supplying
the place of French capital and science, and making,
no doubt, large profits out of French enterprise
Men of sense will see nothing in their co-operatics
but • strong proof of the fraternity of the two
nations, and a very desirable community in the
enjoyment of the vast resources at the disposal of
each.

The bad taste and worse feeling of ems at the
minor French papers, in commenting epee sue
'sets, are certainly blameable and irritating. Bat
amidst all their vauntings, there are fears, jea-
lousies, and recriminations to which even they de
not descend. Thies, in bowing' of Cherbourg, the
Nowiteur de is Flee& does not stoop to makes
bugbear of Alderney. Yet here is en island, width'
eight miles of the oast of France, in which we are
doing pretty mach what the French are doing at
Cherboarg. We are throwing oat long pier'. and
healing a harbour where a fleet may lie at assilaw.
Within eight mike of the nearest part of the r 5.46
this fortified harbour of Alderney is &boatman-
Illad-twenty from Cherbourg, rendering it portal ea
•Ine day and with a good telescope to look into it.
All this, we may feel assured, is for the purpose of
wetebiag France, not invading it. Bat is it pleasant
to be watched so closely ? Suppose there was is
Wad within eight miles of Brighton, and twee*
110111•1 from Spithrad P Suppose that the Pm&
were to occupy this island, fortify it, and est sheet
building a large harbour for an armed Rest, and
not in the least useful, ss Cherbourg cm,'
