EVENING.
The Queen got under weigh to-day at half-past
12 o'clock.

The Emperor paid a farewell visit to her Majesty
on board the Royal Yacht.
The weather was magnificent; and, notwithstand-
ing the departure of the English squadron, the
roadstead exhibited the most animated appearance.
The Emperor has visited the ships of war. His
Majesty was received with the greatest enthusiasm
by the crews. Their cheers were even heard in the
town.

Th,3 Queen:of Great Britain and the Prince Consort
were entertained yesterday at dinner by the Emperor
of the French, on board the line-of-battle ship La
Bretagne.

The EMPEROR, in proposing the toast of the health
of her Majesty and of the Royal Family of England,
made a speech, in which he said :

" I am happy to be enabled to express the sentiments by
which I fim animated upon this occasion of the Queen's visit
to Cherbourg. The facts do indeed speak for themselves,
and prove that the hostile passions which were excited by
some unfortunate incidents have never been able to alter
either the friendship which exists between the two Crowns,
or the desire of the peoples to remain at peace. I have there-
fore the firm hope that if any attempts were made to revive
again the rancours of a formerperiod, such attempts would be
foiled by the good sense of the public, as the waves are
baffled by yonder breakwater, which at this moment serves
to protect the squadrons of both empires against the violence
of the sea."

The PRINCE CONSORT, on behalf of her Majesty,
responded to the toast, in doing which he said—
" The Queen is most sensible of the words we have just
heard, which will for ever be dear to her. The Queen is
doubly happy in having an opportunity, by her presence
here, to join the Emperor in endeavouring to draw together
as closely as possible the ties cf friendship which exist be-
tween the two nations. That friendship has their mutual
prcsperity for its basis, and the blessing of Heaven will not
be wanting to confirm it."

CHERBOURG, WEDNESDAY
EVENING.

Last night the prophets of evil had it all their own
way, a heavy bank of clouds hung over the west,
fringed by streaks of dull dusky red. The wind blew
strong, and the fleets of small boats from the Ryde,
wherries, to the brave little dingies, dashed through
the Solent with the spray flying round and over
them. "It will rain," "It will blow," "The Queen
will give it up." Such were the prognostications uttered
by the weather-wi3e and dandy amateur frequenters
of the Ryde pier; but towards midnight the wind
fell, the moon rose on the stately squadron at anchor
