ARRIVAL OF PRINCE ALBERT AT
bOULOGNE.

• BOULOGNE, Tuesday Evening,—The reception
given to Prince Albert this Morning by the Em-
peror and the city of Boulogne was as brilliant and
as cordial as can well be imagined. The sky was
cloudless, the weather magnificent, and the entire
population appeared to have poured itself upon the
quays and jetty.: The vessels in the harbour were
dressed with flags, and the tricolor was profusely
displayed along the whole length of the quay. At
the Custom-house, in the ceritte of the quay, which
was fixed for the place of landing, the Imperial
Guards were drawn up in three sides of a square,
in the centre of which the Prefet,Viscount Hamel,
the Sous-Prefet, the Mayor of 13oulogne, and his
adjoints awaited the arrival of the Emperor. About
half-past 10 o'clock the Victoria and Albert, with
the tricolor at the fore and the Royal standard at
the main, was seen rounding the point on the Cape-
cure side of the harbour, with a line of white foam
on her bows, and followed by the Black Eagle
and the Vivid, both with colours dressed. At this
moment the excitement of the multitude was raised
to the highest pitch by the arrival of the Emperor,
who came down to the quay expressly to receive
Prince Albert—a compliment which appeared to be
the more marked since it was withheld from the
King of Portugal upon his arrival yesterday.
The Emperor was attended by a group of officers
and aides-de-carap, and, having received the con-
gratulations of the civic authorities, turned his gaze
towards the Victoria and Albert, whichl was beauti-
fully brought in by Captain Smithett. As soon as
the Royal yacht entered the harbour, a thundering
salute of artillery greeted her arrival. She steamed
slowly along the quay, and Prince Albert, attended
by his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, General Lord
Seaton, the Hon. C. Grey, Captain a Platt, and
other officers of distinction, in full uniform, was
seen standing upon deck. The first burst of welcome
—and it was a most hearty one—was given by a
number of English visitors on board the Albion,
London steainer, which was lying alongside the
quay, near the jetty. The Prince graciously ac-
knowledged the cheer, and continuer) bow to the
multitudes who lined the quay. When the Vic-
toria and Albert approached within a short distance
of the Custom-house, where the Emperor was stand-
ing a little in advance of his staff, the two illustrious
personages recognised each other, and, simultane-
ously raising their hats, exchanged several bows.
The band of the Guides struck up " God save the
Queen," and afterwards " Rule Britannia." The
Royal vessel was soon alongside, and, a carpeted
gangway having been quickly thrown on board,
Prince Albert ran briskly ashore, and, raising his
hat, advanced to the Emperor, who, after raising
his hat, tendered his hand to the Prince, which he
shook very warmly. The Prince bowed two or three
times in acknowledgment of the friendly expres-
sions addressed to him by the Emperor, and ap-
peared to be extremely gratified by the warmth of
his reception. The Prince Consort was then in-
troduced to the civic authorities, and the Duke of
Newcastle, Lord Hardinge, having made their
salutations to the Emperor, who bade them wel-
come to France, his Majesty and the Prince directed
their steps to the open carriage which had brought
the Emperor to the landing-place. The courtesies
of the first moment of the interview were here
renewed. The Emperor requested the Prince
Consort to take his place first in the carriage.
Prince Albert hesitated to take precedence of the
Emperor, but, as his Majesty insisted, the Prince
ascended and took his place upon the further
side of the vehicle, which happened to be the left.
The Emperor followed, and, being determined
that his illustrious guest should have the place
of honour, pressed him to take his seat on the
right hand. The Prince complied, and the Royal
carriage then slowly drove off, escorted by the Cent
Gardes, who, in their new uniforms of casque and
cuirass, light blue coats, jack boots, and leather
breeches, formed a picturesque body guard. Every
window was filled with fashionably-dressed women,
who waved a welcome, which the Emperor and the
Prince Consort seemed never weary of acknowledg-
ing. The streets leading from the quay to the Em-
peror's hotel at Capecure were lined along the entire
route by the Chasseurs de Vincennes and infantry
of the line. The Royal cortege, followed by the
Imperial carriages, containing the respective staffs
of the Prince and the Emperor, slowly took the way
to the Imperial Hotel, amid a dense crowd of people,
who, although intensely gratified, seemed too intent
upon seeing the Prince to cheer as a purely English
crowd would have done.

As soon as the Imperial Guard had marched away
from the landincr-place, the crowd thronged around
the Victoria and Albert, admiring her build, her
decorations, the full-dress uniform of her officers,
and the smart look of her picked crew. The Black
Eagle and the Vivid, which were hauled to a little
lower down the harbour, also received a due share
of public admiration.
No one was allowed to go on board the Royal
yacht, but the French are delighted to find that,
by the courtesy of Captain Denman, they will be
permitted to inspect her to-morrow and the follow-
ing day, during c rtain hours. Up to six o'clock
nothing had been heard of the Malacca, and the
other vessels of the Royal escort.
After partaking of some refreshment together,
the Emperor and Prince Albert, attended by their
suites, set out at four o'clock for the camp. The
streets through which the Royal party passed were
hung with flags, and the Emperor and the Prince
were received with loud acclamations from the
crowds in the streets. Entering the camp at
Ambleteuse, the Emperor and his illustrious guest
on horseback, attended by Marshal Valliant,
General Lord Seaton, and a brilliant staff, com-
posed of officers of various cavalry regiments and
an escort of Guides, passed through the camps
of Ambleteuse, Wimereux, and Honvault, the
infantry falling into line with inconceivable
rapidity as the Royal cortege approached. Thus
the illustrious party swept along the French
line upon the cliffs from which the English coast
could be clearly discerned, and, upon the very spot
where the camp of the first Emperor was pitched,
the band of every regiment playing "God save the
Queen" as the Prince Consort approached. Great
numbers of English and French visitors were upon
the ground, whose cheers were hearty and incessant.
The Emperor and the Prince rode side by side, as
near as the unevenness of the ground would permit,
followed, at a short distance, by the leading per-
sonages of their staff. The Royal party left the
camp near the Column, and rode through the
streets to the Imperial hotel. 'A more beautiful
sight than was presented as the splendid staff
slowly rode down the steep streets of the upper
town to the Rue de l'Ecu has never been
witnessed in Boulogne, the brilliancy of the uni-
forms and the magnificence of the steeds eliciting
the warmest exclamations of admiration. The re-
ception of the Emperor and the Prince Consort
left nothing to require on the score of heartiness,
and the Royal party regained their hotel at 7
o'clock.

To-morrow a grand review will take place at St.
Omer.
Preparations are being actively made for a gene-
ral illumination of the town to-night in honour of
the visit of Prince Albert. A grand feu d'artifice
has been prepared by M. A übin, Artificier de
l'Einpereur, which will be let off on the height of
Chatillon, opposite to the town. The Mayor of
Boulogne, M. Fontaine, has issued an address in-
viting every inhabitant to illuminate the façade of
his house, and the inhabitants will respond to the
appeal.

SUDDEN DEATH IN THE BLACKFRIARS.ROAD.—An
awful instance of the uncertainty of human life occurred

life was extinct ; he was dressed in black, coat, waist-
ceat, iiatiousers, and removed to St. George's Work-
house, to be owned.

FIRE AT CREMORNE GARDENS, CHELSEA.—At a late
hour last night considerable sensation was created in
consequence of the sudden outbreak of a fire in the
Cirque Olympic, in Cremorne Gardens, King's•road
West, Chelsea, the property of Mr. T. B. Simpson-
The cirque,-which is very spacious, was most tastefully
lined with crimson and white cloth, and caught fire from
the flame of the gas, which spread rapidly. The police
were despatched in cabs to the London Brigade fire sta-
tions, and West of England. In the mean time every
assistance-was afforded by those present. After a short
time the King-street, Chandos-street, Well-street, and
West of England engines, soon arrived from town. By
the great exertions of all present the flames were sub-
dued, but not before the inside of the roof of the
Cirque Olympic lined with cloth was burnt, and
the rafters much damaged. The contents are insured
in the West of England.
