DEPARTURE OF PRINCE ALBERT
FROM BOULOGNE.

-
BonLoam; Sunday Evening.—The departure of
Prince Albert took place at 11 o'clock at night, under
circumstances of a most brilliant and picturesque cha-
racter. The quay was splendidly illuminated along its
whole length by stars, globes, and other devices, and by
coloured lampions placed at intervals in the street, from
the houses cn one side up to the water's edge. At one
point, within view of the Royal yacht, and about the
centre of the quay, three enormous structures were
placed across the street, outlining in coloured lamps the
letters V. N. A., which persons of a recondite turn of
mind declared to mean Vive noire amitie, but which
were with more reason supposed to indicate the initials
of the Queen of England, the Emperor of France, and
the Prince Consort. The Custom-house, opposite which
the Prince embarked, was gaily illuminated along its
entire facade, and the entrepOt of the Douane, besides
other devices, exhibited within an illuminated quatrefoil
the initials of Napoleon, Eugenie, Victoria, and Albert,
in the close proximity of this well-chosen architectural
ornament. The broad quays, the bridges, and the jetty
were densely crowded, and every window looking out
upon the harbour was filled by sight seers, who had
reason to congratulate themselves that the night was
dark and calm, and extremely favourable to the effect of
the pyrotechnic displays which accompanied the embar-
cation. The Imperial Guard again 'formed three sides of
a square opposite the Royal yacht, which bad not been
removed from the berth she originally took up, and the
streets leading to the Imperial hotel were again
kept by two lines of French infantry. At 11 o'clock
the drums of the Garde Imperial° announced the
arrival of the Emperor and Prince, who drove along the
quay in one of the Imperial carriages; escorted by a de-
tachment of the Cent-Pardes, every private soldier in
which has the rank of a lieutenant in the French army.
As soon as the Imperial carriage drove up, blue
lights burst forth from every part of the Victoria
and Albert, sailors being placed upon the paddle-boxes
and along the line of deck, and in the rigging with
lights, in such numbers that the outline of the vessel
was as distinctly preserved as the cupola of St. Peter's
at Rome during the illumination of the dome. Excla-
mations of delight burst forth from the crowd, which
was followed by a hearty cheer as the Emperor and the
Prince, alighting from the carriage, walked together
towards the gangway and went on board the Royal
yacht. As soon as the Emperor and Prince stopped on
board the Victoria and Albert the event was announced
by a display so startling and unexpected that
" The boldest held his breath for a time."
Rockets of great size and power tore up from the hold
of the Royal yacht with a terrible noise and irresistible
force, and, bursting into coloured lights, illumined
every object along the quay and harbour. So alarm-
ing was the noise made by the rockets, as in the dark-
ness of the night they appeared to emerge from some
yawning infernal region at the foot of the spectators,
that a group of Boulogne poissardes in the crowd—
mothers, daughters, and children—flung themselves at
the feet of the Imperial Guard, and, screaming in an
agony of terror, lay with their faces on the ground, en-
deavouring to shield from their eyes a sight too terrible
to bear. Others plunged madly among the crowd, and
seemed only bent upon escaping from the spot. A pause
then took place, during which the Emperor and Prince
said a few parting words upon the deck of the Royal
yacht. They then cordially shook hands, and the
Emperor, after again saluting the Prince and wishing
him a pleasant voyage, took his way to the gangway
and stepped upon shore. Again the rockets whizzed
and rushed high into the air, and again breaking into
light and colour light up the vessels in the harbour
and countless faces in the streets and at the windows.
Cheers and murmurs of delight again burst forth,
and the Prince, accompanied by the Duke of New-
castle and his suite, and standing upon the gallery
of the yacht, bowed his acknowledgments to the crowd
and his last adieus to his Imperial host. The paddle-
wheels of the steamer, slowly revolving, then began to
hear away the Prince from the scene of so many festivi-
ties and rejoicings, solemnised in honour of the friendly
alliance between the two countries. The Emperor drove
off with his staff and escort, and again blue lights lit up
the Royal yacht from stem to stern, and were reflected
in the water with a clearness and brilliancy that made
tho harbour appear like a broad lake of liquid silver.
The crowd followed the steamer, which slowly moved
out of the harbour. As the Royal yacht gained the
entrance to the harbour a salute or 21 gun's from brass
pieces of large calibre was fired, which reverberated
among the hills and shook the houses of the lower town.
As soon as the Victoria and Albert had got away she
was followed by the Black Eagle, which in turn was fol•
lowed by the Vivid, the only three vessels of the Royal
escort that had entered the harbour. When the Victoria
and Albert had cleared the jetty, which was densely
crowded, she was seen to great advantage, every cabin
window being strongly illuminated. Her paddle-wheels
ceased to revolve for a minute or two, and after another
blaze of blue lights, which burnt upon deck and thrown
above the rigging, were reflected in every ripple of the
sea, she continued her course towards Portsmouth, fol-
lowed by her escort of steamers, and was soon lost in the
darkness of night.
The Royal yacht was piloted out of the harbour by
Captain Smithett, and was follo.wed by the Black Eagle
and Vivid. The Hornet, Malacca, and Salamander also
weighed anchor and followed the yacht, at a very respect-
ful distance. Before leaving the harbour, the Prince
presented to the captain of the port a very valuable gold
watch and chain.
THE FAREWELL IMPERIAL BANQUET.
On the evening of Friday the grand banquet was given
by the Emperor, on a scale of more than usual splendour.
The large salla a manger of the Imperial Hotel presented
a most brilliant and truly regal appearance as the illus-
trious guests were seated at dinner. The head table was
iu the form of a semi-circle, the other extending along
the whole length of the room. The service was of the
most beautiful Sevres china and silver. Rich bpergnes
of gold, and vases of Sevres china, filled with the most
exquisite flowers, adorned the tables. Two large pyra-
mids of fruit, each bearing on its top the most superb of
pineapples, were certainly marvellous productions of
art. An interesting incident attaches to these pine-
apples, the finest which, I believe, have every et been
produced. They were grown at Trentham, seat ot
the Duchess of Sutherland, and were presented through
the world-famed Alexis Soyer to his Imperial Majesty.
The largest of the pines weighed 9 lbs. 8 ounces, and
the smaller one 8 lbs. 6 ounces ; they measured more
than a yard from the top of the crown to the stem, and
were 26 and 27 metres in circumference. They were
most handsomely grown, perfect in their form, and com-
pletely put into the shade some pines produced at Ver-
sailles and sent to the Imperial table. The panels and
decorations of the room were of the dark Imperial green,
with rich damask furniture for the windows of the same
colour. The Emperor, with the Prince on his right
hand, and Colonel Grey on his left, were seated at 'the
centre of the table. Among the guests were his Grace
the Duke of Newcastle, their Excellencies M. Drouyn
de Lhuys and Marshal Vaillant, Suliman Pacha, Gen.
Rolin, Gen. Wetherell, Captain Du Plat, and others,
the company numbering altogether about 50 persons.
During the dessert his Imperial Majesty, in proposing
the health of our Queen, said :
" J'ai rhonneur de proposer un toast a l'honneur de
noire allie tree intime sa gracieuse Majest6 la Reine
d'Angleterre."
Prince Albert next proposed the health of the
Emperor, and, gracefully alluding to the good feel-
ing which existed between the two countries, expressed
the great gratification which he had derived from his
visit.

GAB TAR IN HORTICULTURE.—A discovery, which is
likely to be of great advantage to agriculture, has just
been reported to the Agricultural Society at Clermont
(Oise). A gardener, whose frames and hothouses re-
quired painting decided on making them black, as likely
to attract the heat better, and, from a principle of eco-
nomy, he made use of gas tar instead of black paint.
The work was performed during the winter, and on the
approach of spring the gardener was surprised to find
that all the spiders and insects which usually infested
his hothouse had disappeared, and also that a vine, which
for the last 2 years had so fallen off that he had intended
to replace it by another, had acquired fresh force and
vigour, and gave every sign of producing a large crop of
grapes. lle afterwards used the same substance on the posts
and trellis-work which supported the trees in the open
'air, and met with the same result, all the caterpillars
and other insects disappearing. It is said that similar
experiments have been made in some of the vineyards
on the Gironde With like reeulte.—Galtinant ;Monne%

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1854.

Royal Highness, proposed by the Emperor. Some other
toasts were proposed in the course of the evening by the
Duke of Newcastle and others of the guests honoured
with an invitation to the banquet.
THE SHAM RATTLE AT MARQUISE.

All Boulogne was astir by five o'clock on Friday morn-
ing. The Emperor and the Prince Consort left the
Hotel Brighton at six, in an open carriage drawn by
four horses. The Emperor wore the undress uniform
of a general of division, and the grand cordon of
the Legion of Honour. Prince Albert wore the un-
dress uniform of a field-marshal, and the grand
cordon of the Legion of Honour, conferred upon his
Royal Highness by the late King, Louis Philippe.
A second carriage conveyed his Grace the Duke of New-
castle (wearing the rich uniform •of the Notts Yeomanry
Corps), Lord Seaton, his Excellency M. Drouyn de
Lbuys, his Excellency Marshal Vaillant, and General
the Duke of Montebello. Two other carriages con-
veyed General Sir C. Wetherall, General Rolin (chef
d'etat major), Major-General the Hon. C. Grey, General
Cotte, the Duke of Alva, Colonel Fleuiy, Lieut.-Colonel
Reddulph, Stillman Pacha, and Captain de Ros and
Captain do Plat in attendance upon Prince Albert.
Two imperial chars--banc were occupied by naval
officers of the royal ya,..iht and squadron, and two others
by the officers of the household of his Majesty. The
splendid cortege arrived at Marquiseabout seven o'clock,
where the whole of the party mounted the horses which
which had been, previously sent forward to meet them,
and role on a short distance out of the town to the
ground where the operations were to commence.
There was nothing in the natilre'Of a programme of
the proceedings to be obtained, everything connected
with the manoeuvres having been kept with the most
jealous secrecy within the Emperor's own breast. The
orders necessary to be given to the generals and com-
manding officers were conveyed to them separately.
The following outline will, I believe, correctly repre-
sent the state of things preparatory to the commence-
ment of hostilities. A forbign army had landed at
Calais, which, as the etente cordiale precludes me from
supposing it to have been an English army this time, 1
will suppose that the Russian fleet had left Helsingfors
and Cronstadt, and landed a large Muscovite force
in that port. The army of the Czar has not only
succeeded in establishing a footing within the for-

' tillery service, as in ours, no attempt seems hitherto to
have been made to introduce the use of springs, at least
for the waggons. There seems no satisfactory reason why
an improvement of the kind should not be adopted, and
it appears to be quite as much wanted in their army as
in ours, for, though the ground in front of Marquise is
not so rough and broken as it was at Chobbam, the
gunneros appeared to be quite as much jolted in their
seats. The guns were all fired on Friday by percus-
sion, and, though the loading was performed with great
rapidity, there was not that excessive haste which, in
our sei, ice, with the Horse Artillery especially, some-
times leads to accidents. Another point about this arm of
the French service was the admirable and steady way in
which the horses did their work. They went at an excellent
pace when requisite, were not in too high condition for
the field, and appeared to be strong and hardy animals,
with the requisite amount of roughness about them to
stand fatigue and exposure well.
With the artillery the infantry fairly divided the
honours and labours of the operations on Friday. A
large proportion of the army encamped in this neigh-
bourhood consists of young conscripts who have hardly
yet completed their training ; but the manner in which
the various manoeuvres were performed by the troops
engaged was beyond praise. What we most of all'ad-
mired was the rapidity with which everything was done.
There was much more running at full speed to take up
position than would have been attempted in our ser-
vice, and, though an English spectator would miss the
extraordinary precision with which movements are
effected by the troops of his own country, on the other
hand the very absence of this might fairly be regarded.
as arising from the military instincts- of the French
soldier, enabling him in Some degree to dispense With
the more pedantic formalities of his profession. It was
a fine sight to see the dense masses of columns in. which
the Emperor threw forward his.battalions, and the im-
petuosity with which they made their advance, now
deploying rapidly into line and throwing out skirmishers,
now barely visible behind the shelter of some friendly
height, against which the enemy's guns thundered.
The fusillade of musketry was hotly and well sustained
by both sides at all the more warmly-disputed positions.
Sometimes volleys were exchanged at close quarters ;
sometimes a steady rattle of file•firing was kept up ;
and, again, the din of mimic battle dwindled down to
an occasional dropping shot. There was another cir-
cumstance which, perhaps, it may be interesting to
notice. Hitherto the 'French army has formed its
line three deep, like all other continental services, the
first two ranks to fire and the last to load ; whereas
with us the practice has always been to form line two
deep, each line holding and firing for itself. On Thurs-
day it was observed that the battalions under the Em-
peror's command-7-and probably it was the same with
General Schramm's corps also--were drawn up two
deep. Technical and insignificant:as it may:appear, this
change is really one of great importance in military
tactics. The system of manceuvring in dense columns
and deep lines, besides exposing an army to heavy loss
of life under fire, accustoms the men to expect to be
closely backed up in the hour of peril, and prevents the
general from extending his front so as to have.the full
benefit of his superior numbers. The reputation of the
British infantry, wherever it has fought, is largely due
to an appreciation of these strategical considerations ;
that of the French, on the contrary, has been achieved
in disregard of it, and upon entirely different grounds.
But from the alteration noticed on Friday they ap-
pear to be no longer insensible to the advantages of
our system, and prepared already, in some re-
spects, to adopt it. In their attachment to move-
ments executed in close column • they still perse-
vere, and it formed one of the most prominent cha-
racteristics of the manner in which his corps was
handled by the Emperor. The immense bodies of

tilled town of Calais, but has also formed a series
of encampments along the heights near the coast.
The most advanced of this enemy's corps d'armee
is ordered to' attack Boulogne, probably with the
view of holding it as " a material guarantee." The
Emperor of the French has information of the move-
ments of the enemy, and takes the field this time as the
protector of Boulogne. Commanding in person, he
brings up an army corps of about 10,000 men from
Equihen, a camp about five miles south of Boulogne,
and tales up a position a short distance from Marquise,
with the view of arresting the advance of the invading
Cossacks. The Emperor's force bivouac for the night

brother officers appeared far more delighted than
himself. He has during his service in this ship en-

ANOTHER SCREW MAN-OF-WAR.
-The works in the Pembroke establishment are being
carried on with considerable energy. Great alterations
are making on the Repulse line-ot-battle ship, to fit her
with the steam screw. For this purpose her after-frame
timbers are being removed, and her shape at:that part
considerably altered, to admit the screw to have its
p:oper influence. By this arrangement there will be no
necessity of lengthening her midships, as will be the
-case with the Victoria.

manifest that this sad scourge, if taken in time, is surely
within human means ; if-dot, death is certain. It has
been proved more particUlarly, in this ship, that all who
sought,medical advice at the commencement of the at-
tack were saved, whilst those 'Who neglected themselves,
or took what they fancied; :assuredly died., Now this
fact cannot be too sufficiently made public, particularly

wives of officers, are located on shore, and 'they appear
very happy. They were visited yesterday ,by two gen-
