clearly thatit is an exceptional case, and that the party
has 'been actually " travelling." But, otherwise,
where they are really and bond fide strangers, the
presumption is in his favour, and it lies with the
prosecutors to establish their case by positive• evi-
dence.

We do not regret Mr. TRAFFOiID-S decision,
erroneous as it undoubtedly is. It is by such
undue straining of the law that the disgust of the
people will be excited, and that the voice of public
opinion will all but unanimously demand its
repeal.

Yesterday the Queen paid a visit to the Egyp-
tian yacht, Feid Gehaad, in Southampton Docks.
Her Majesty arrived in the docks in the Fairy
yacht, at 5 p.m., and was received by Captain
Ford, the Ottoman Consul, P. Hedger, Esq., the
Southampton Dock-master ; John Levy, Esq., and
other dock authorities ; and Captain Austin, the
Admiralty superintendent. Her Majesty was ac-
companied by the Duchess of Kent, the Prince of
`'Pales, the Princess Royal, and two other of the
royal children, and the Earl of Aberdeen. A
floating platform was formed alongside the yacht,
which was covered with crimson cloth. The gang-
way was also covered" with the same material. At
the top of the gangway her Majesty and the other
royal personages and suites, who attended her, were
received by Mustapha Redish, the commander of
the yacht. Her Majesty remained on board the
yacht some considerable time, and admired its im-
mense extent, and its gorgeous fitting-up, which is
in a style of Oriental splendour. The yards were
manned, and an Egyptian guard of honour re-
ceived her Majesty, family, and suite, on deck.
The Mayor of Southampton, as admiral of the port,
and• the town clerk, received the Queen previ-
ous to her going on board the yacht. Her Majesty
went all over the yacht, and examined very atten-
tively every part of it. After this was done the
whole of the royal party sat down in the state
saloon, and coffee and a magnificent eastern pipe
were placed before them. The pipe was smoked
manfully by the Prince of Wales. Her Majesty
accepted of coffee, and she had it presented to her
by the Egyptian officers, who did their homage,
while doing so, according to Eastern practice. The
captain of the Feid Gehaad, dressed in magnificent
costume, took off his shoes on entering the saloon
where her Majesty was seated, which is the greatest
mark of honour that he could pay the Queen. The
Cofts, Arabs, Turks, and
whichformed the crew and officers
of the yacht, with their varied uniforms, formed
a singular sight. The guard of honour was
Circ mixtureass ia nos f ,
Nubians,
formed of Egyptian naval cadets. The flashing
of the scymeters of the officers, the sound of the
fife and drum, with which the guard beat to arms as
her Majesty was about to pass along the deck, with
the wild cry of joy and welcome which she received
from the crew who manned the yards, formed alto-
gether a most curious spectacle. Thousands of
people were in the docks; every steamer was
crammed with spectators ; considerable sums of
money were offered by ladies and gentlemen to go
on board the Feid Gehaad to witness her Majesty's
inspection of it, but none but officials were per-
mitted on board. Her Majesty expressed to the
Mayor of Southampton her admiration of the
beauty of the yacht. Many of the painted panels
on board the yacht reminded one of scenes and de-
scriptions in the Arabian Nights Entertainments.
The Queen was greatly cheered by the English
spectators, both on entering and leaving South-
ampton. Almost as soon as her Majesty went on
board the Feid Gehaad, the whole of the Egyptian
officers belonging to her, together with the Mahom-
medan priest, were introduced. Tile name of the
yacht, the Feid Gehaad, means the Fortune of
War. She brought over to England El Muni
Pacha, the son of the late Pacha of Egypt.

PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO THE

FRENCH EMPEROR.

BOITIOGNE, FRIDAY MORNING.
The Emperor and Prince Albert left the Impe-
rial Hotel, accompanied by their respective suites,
at 6 o'clock this morning, in order to be present at
the grand military manoeuvres which will take
place to-day near Marquise. The Royal party
start thus earlyin consequence of the heat which

as prevailed all the week, and which would re.
der the active operations of a sham battle ex.
tremely distressing, both to 'men and horses, it
carried on under a mid-day sun. It has therefore
been arranged that the Emperor and Prince shall
leave their carriages at Marquise, and take horse
at 7 o'clock for the scene of military operations,
which will commence about 3 miles from that vil-
lage. *At 11. o'clock the evolutions will will be sus-
pended for 2 hours, and the Emperor will enter-
tain the Prince, his staff; the French Generals and
other visitors`of distinction, at a dejeuner in the
Imperial tent. The manoeuvres will then re-com-
mence, and will be brought to a close between 3
and 4 o'clock, when the Royal party will return to
Boulogne.
The desire to witness this grand military demon-
stration and assemblage of distinguished person-
ages is excessive. Every available horse and vehicle
in the town has been engaged, and yesterday.fabu-
lous prices were offered for fiacres by English visi-
tors. The road to Marquise from an early hour
this morning exhibited a continuous stream of
vehicles and pedestrians, hundreds of persons, un-
able to procure a voitare, having resolved to walk
to the scene of action rather than miss a mimic
war conducted upon so unusual a scale of vastness
and completeness of detail. The weather has been
extremely fine all the week, but this morning the
sky is cloudy and threatens rain.
Yesterday at 3 o'clock, the Emperor and Prince
Albert drove down to the quay, and went on board
the Victoria and Albert, under a salute of artillery.
The Prince himself conducted the Emperor over
the ship.. Dejewier was laid out in the State
cabin, but the Royal party did not stay to partake
of it, and they returned to the Imperial
carriages amid the acclamations of a dense
crowd assembled on the quay and the hearty
cheers of the crew of the Royal yacht. The Em-
peror and Prince then paid a brief visit to the
camp at Wimereux. In the evening the Emperor
entertained Prince Albert and a brilliant circle at
dinner. The excellent band of the Guides was in
attendance in the courtyard of the Imperial hotel.
The grand bail at the Tintelleries last night was
attended by thousands of persons. A little rain
fell at intervals, which somewhat thinned the
grounds, and the early hour at which the Royal
party had determined to visit the camp next morn-
ing precluded all hope of the attendance of the
Emperor and his guests. But almost all the Eng-
lish families now at Boulogne were present, and
among not the least delighted portion of the
visitors were the junior officers of her Majesty's
steamers who formed the escort of Prince Albert.
Our gallant young countrymen seemed to be in
great favour with the French ladies. The grounds
were brilliantly illuminated with coloured lamps.
Chinese lanterns, arranged in an infinite variety of
French eagles, Imperial ciphers, and other devices,
while at intervals beds and baskets of exquisite
plants, lit up by small lamps tastefully placed

a dazzling scene of fairy land. An excellent orches-
