A Chelsea board of officers assembled at Brompton
barracks yesterday for the purpose of examining a large
number of sick and wounded men from the Crimea, who
from the nature of their wounds were considered to be
unfit for further service. 0,1 the coeclesian of the in-

The senior officers of the British fleet entertained
their gallant brethren of the Imperial French navy on
Thursday night, at the Royal Naval Collega, in Parts
mouth Dockyard, which was beautifully decorated for
the occasion: Flags of all nations were suspended from
the walls of the college, and there was an ample supply
of garlands and. bouquets. Vice-Adrairal Sir George
Seymour, Cornrow der in Chief, presided, and many dis-
tinguished naval officers, English and foreign, were pre-
sent. After toasts to the Queen, the Emperor,. and the
Empress of the French, the Prince Imp6rial, the King
of the Netherlands, and the Dutch Navy, Sir R.
Dundas proposed Admiral de ,la Graviere and the
deputation from the French Navy, which was re-
ceived with very great enthusiasm. Admiral de la
Graviere returned thanks, and proposed a ;toast to
the health of the English Army and Navy. In
doing so, the gallant colonel eulogised the conduct of
the English navy, and said that, although the war
just ended had not been a maritime war, yet that the
sailors engaged in it had everywhere done their duty.
Both in the Baltic and in the Black Sea the iaaval force
of England and France had performed their dtity in such
a manner as to insure for themselves an honourable
place in the annals of that memorable war, and at the
same time perpetuate the recollection of the union of
the two flags. The navy had always been ready to per-
form anything that had been required of it. Admiral
de la Graviere took a review 'of the various gallant ex-
ploits which.had been performed, and said that the blue-
jackets of the two nations bad exhibited no other rivalry
than that inspired by the love of country and veneration
for their respective flags. Other toasts appropriate to
the occasion were given with much cordiality.
The members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club gave
a ball last night at the Club-house, Ryde, to the com-
manding officers of the gun-boat flotilla, which was bril-
liantly attended by about.4oo guests, among whom were
some of the officers of the French corvette, who went
over from Portsmouth after the naval banquet in their
honour at Portsmouth.
