to-night for Boulogne.

Posmount, Sept. 4.—The Royal squadron to ac-
company H.R.H. Prince Albert to Boulogne got up
steam in Cowes Roads at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and

the solent to off Osborne.

The Fairy, screw tender to the Royal yacht, went out
of harbour at 4 o'clock this afternoon and proceeded to
Osborne to join the squadron. At the same hour, the

order to precede the yachts on the voyage, as their speed
would not allow them to follow the latter in very close
order. These three vessels kept on their way through

HAYMARKETNHEATRE.—The Spanish dancers appeared
last night in two new ballets, both of decidedly Spanish
complexion, and both well received. Various national
dances were performed by the corps de ballet and by Se-
nora Nene. and Signor Buiz, both of whom were warmly
applauded. The dresses were pretty, the grouping ef-
fective, and the whole performance was characterised by
that startling a,:tivity and energy of movement which are
the prominent features of the national dances of Spain.
The ballet, it seems, created the greatest sensation at
Paris, and are entitled the Flower of Marcarena and Los

Manolos de Madrid.
