PARTICULARS OF THE LANDING

OF LOUIS PHILIPPE AT CALAIS.
(FROST AN EYE WITNESS.)
It was known in Calais, on Tuesday morning, as
early as ten o'clock, that his Majesty Louis Philippe
would land at that port, on his return from England,
in the course of the morning, and every preparation
was made to receive him. The flags were hoisted on
all the shipping in the harbour, and on the fortifica-
tions—the soldiers were under arms—the telegraph
was at work, announcing the important intelligence—
the whole town was in a bustle ; every one hastening
to the pier to catch a glimpse of their Sovereign—the
French steam-boat which should have left Calais for
England that morning was detained until the arrival
of his Majesty should have taken place. It was ex-
pected that Ki.,)g Louis Philippe would land about
twelve o'clock; it was, however, two o'clock before his
Majesty arrived. On his landing he was received
by the authorities and the people with shouts
of " Five le Roi." rlis Majesty walked
down the Rue de 1:4 Mer bare-headed, fol-
lowed by the re.'..)ple, who continued their
greetings, which were repeatedly acknowledged by his
Majesty. In PAssingiup the Rue de la Mer his
Majesty wallz.ed at the head of the crowd, by whom
he was cot
r.ipletely separated from the military, who
brought,bour up the rear. The gate leading from the liar-
'o
the Rue de la Mer presented a very pictu-
re'llue appearance. A young girl was on the top of
the gate, who waived her handkerchief as the King
passed. Her welcome was graciously acknowledged
by his Majesty. On arriving at the Hotel de Ville,
his Majesty addressed the people, after which he re-
tired for a short time to refresh himself after the
fatigues of the voyage, and at three o'clock the firing
of cannon announced his Majesty's departure for
Calais.

While his Majesty was breakfasting at Dover,
several ladies promenaded near the Ship Hotel, for the
purpose of endeavouring to see him as he passed. On
learning their anxiety, he directed the waiter to throw
open the doors of his apartment and admit them. The
ladies soon after departed, highly gratified with their
quasi presentation to the King of the French.

DR. WOLFF'S APPEAL TO THE
MONARCHS OF EUROPE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The appeal of Dr. Wolff on behalf of the
200,000 persons held in cruel bondage by the King
of Bokhara, seems to me to be a matter of vast im-
portance to the civilised world, if not of disgrace to
some portion of it, for suffering the monster so long
to revel in his scenes of bloodshed. It would seem
that he seizes with impunity all foreigners entering
his dominions, for if (as it appears) poor Stoddart
made himself amenable to the laws of the tyrant, we
hear of no reason for detaining and maltreating Dr.
Wolff. Whether the nations of Europe would Not do
well to respond to the case of Dr. Wolff (making a
holy and Christian use of their standing armies, by
convincing the barbarous rulers of the earth the
duties they owe to humanity, the rescuing of the
200,000 slaves being not the least important object,
and thus throwing the great light of civilisation into
the dark corners of the earth), remains to be shown
(I trust by that powerful engine of free countries, the
press). Hoping that Englishmen will not allow the
matter to rest where it is, I remain, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
R. J. R.
