FETES AT CHERBOURG.

DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY.
COWES, AUG. 4.

People here were early on the qui rive this morn-
ing to witness the Queen's departure for Cherbourg;
but as the only way by which they could be enabled
to gratify their curiosity was by taking a boat and
going round to Osborne, and as the time for the start
was considered to be very uncertain, but few persons
witnessed the interesting event. The fleet, it was
stated, left Spithead at 4 a.m., and proceeded down
Channel. A small squadron, however, was off
Osborne this morning, including the royal
yacht, the Victoria and Albert, her tender,
the Fairy, the Osborne, and others ; and
shortly after 10 o'clock some of these got under
weigh and proceeded down the Solent to the west-
ward. The Osborne was the first to leave, and she
was followed down by the Black Eagle, Admiralty
vessel; then went the Fairy and the Fire Queen,
leaving the stately royal yacht attended only by the
little Trinity vessel.
Just before noon the barge of the royal yacht was
rowed across to the landing-place on the
,beach be-
low the royal mansion, itnd her Majesty, who was
i attired in a light-coloured costume, accom-
panied by the Prince Consort, the Prince of
Wales, and the Duke of Cambridge, arrived
from Osborne House in a pony carriage, and
immediately stepped on board the barge of the royal
yacht, which, steered by the captain of the noble
vessel, the lion. Joseph Denman, as " her Majesty's
cockswain," was soon alongside the vessel, which
was lying a short distance off. As soon as the royal
party were on board, the Victoria and Albert
steamed away towards Cowes, on their way through
the Needles passage to the coast of France, with the
Admiralty flag at the fore, the royal standard at the
main, and the jack at the mizen. The pier at Ryde
was crowded with visitors and others who were
anxious to witness the departure, and who were
trying the utmost powers of their optical aids to
sight in order the better to view the royal depar-
ture.

As the Victoria and Albert passed through Cowes
roads her Majesty and the Prince Consort were ob-
served standing at the port side of the vessel
intently scanning the crowded state of the parade
and the fleet of yachts then lying there or sailing
about the waters of the Solent. All the vessels
dipped their colours as the yacht passed, which com-
pliment was also paid to her Majesty by the Royal
Yacht Squadron, who lowered their white ensign,
which was then flying at the signal post in front of
Cowes Castle.

The royal yacht, followed by the Trinity vessel,
was soon out of sight on her way westward. As
from the Needles it is only GO miles to Cherbourg,
it is anticipated that her Majesty would arrive off
the French coast in about five hours after leaving
Osborne. The weather during the morning was
most agreeable, and the trip across will no doubt
be exceedingly pleasant.

OSBORNE, AUG. 4.

Her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince
Consort embarked at 12 o'clock to-day in the royal
yacht Victoria and Albert, and got under weigh im-
mediately for Cherbourg.

The Prince of Wales anal the Duke of Cambridge

The Eail of Malrnesbury and Sir John Paking-
ton have also embarked in the royal yacht.

Col. the Hon. Sir C. Phipps, and Mr. Gibbs.

Valletort, Col. Tyrwhitt, and Col. Chapman are
embarked in the Black Eagle.

A NEW PEER.--It has for some time past been
rumoured in legal circles that the Earl of Derby has been
desirous of raising to the peerage that eminent man and
really great lawyer, Knight Bruce; and from all we hear,
than this
one. ;The learned, Lord Justice
we believe no step which the present Government could
take would redound snore to their popularity
has gaineel for him-
self during the time he has occupied his present seat a
character for promptitude and clearness of decision which
has never hem surpassed by any equity lawyer of this or the past generation. It k quite evident that Lord Derby
must, during bis tentre of office, make some addition to
the number of law lords in toe upper house. ft is true
we can boast of a goodly array at the moment, for in-
:tanee—we have Lord Lyndhurst, *Lr•rti Brougham, Lord
Campbell, Lord St. Leonards, Lard Wensleydale, and
last, though not least, Lord Cheimsford • hut if we mistake
not, the youngest of these great legal luminaries is ad-
vanced on the shady side of sixty, and more than e,ne on the
wrong side of eighty. It is, therefore, quite evident, if we
are to preserve the character of the digit Court of Appeal
in its integrity, something must be done to relieves: the aged
members who preside over its legal decisions from the very
fatiguing duties which they have now to undergo, and we
,herefore, venture to hope that the rcmour to which we
zive extended pithlicitv is not without foundMion.—Naval
