Meetinr of the Emnerors.

rived al the station here last nght at SIX CLOCK,
nhe emperor Of Austria having gone to meet him
as far as Prerau and at that hour the whole Of the
two courts, with all the higher officers of the
Austrian army were assembled, and followed the
imperial conege into Olmutz, the town, and par
ticularly all the houses on the road TO the resi-
dence OF the archbishop, where the quarters OF the
sovereigns are, being Illuminated and decorated
with garlands and devices. LIN front OF the palace
stood the guard of honor, composed OF medal
bearing veterans of the Austrian regiment OF the
emperor Nicholas; and here took place one of
those acts of fratcrnization which the emperor OF
Russia EMPLOYS with such consummate tact, with
a view to producing a favorable impression on the
Austrians. When the first bars of the serenade
were got through, the emperor Nicholas placed
himself at the head of theBuard OF honor, and as,
he marched past saluted theemperor OF Austria in
the capacity of comrade OF the veterans ana
holder of regimental command under the sover-
eign of Austria. Loud applause followed from the
spectators as the emperors publicly kissed each
other, and then the court dinner followed the two
emperors spending the evening together IN undls-
turbed privacy, the prince OF Prussia and most OF
the generals having gone 70 the theatre.
This was the first grand field day, ana all the
camp was early afoot. As, 700 men, with l2s guns,
being encamped on the great plain OF Olmutz, a
couple of miles from the town, We're disposed Tor
divine service, and parade afterwards Heavy
rain fell during the night, and, on my first gong TO
the camp in the morning. the ground was wet,
mountains that surround the plain; but gradually
the weather cleared up to sunshine, and at mid
day the whole mass of troops formed long paral-.

General Wratisaw, the first commanded BY Gen.
eral Coant Clam Galias, the second by General
Count Seblick the reserve under General Count
Schafdotsche, the artillery under General Haus-

sive experience of military demonstrations, COM
prising great many imperial and royal personages,
and upwards Of sixty generals headed by the hoary
and respected Marshal Nugent. The emperor of
Austria wore a white uniform, with the light blue
rband of the order Of St. Andrew of Russia, and
looked quite in the prime of youth The emperor
Nicholas, who is gradually getting stouter as
years roll over him, wore the cuirassier uniform
Of his Austrian regiment; but, with his huge
breastpate, martial air, and gigantic stature, has
lost none of that imposing appearance which your
readers know him TO possess, He was accom-
panied by his sons, one of whom wore an Aus
trian colonel's uniform, and he was Immediately
attended by Generals Adlerberg, Grunwald, Schur-.
alof, Mirshilevitch, and Creutz.
The imperial cOytege, in which the scarlet uni
form of Lord Westmoreland was prominent, thea
rode along the camp and down the columns to the
field chapel, which was an altar covered with a
tent, where several shaven priests stood to per-
form the functions of mass. Opposite to this was
a tribune with red velvet cushions, and here the
emperor Of Austria heard mass, the emperor of
Russia being on his right hand kneelina, making
the sign ofthe cross and, as far as understood
what / saw, joining in the divine service. The
prince of Prussia stood behind, as spectator, but
did not kneel The elevation of the host, marked
by the ringing of a bell was telegraphed TO the
most distant battalions, so that the whole army
might simultaneously Join in this rite of the Ro-
man Catholic church, and instead OF an organ,
the anthem was played with astonishing precision
and unity by the thirty bands united, so as TO be
one of the most pompous religious soemnlties
of the Roman Catholic church that can be con-
ceived. ... .
Divine service was followed by &i,chem para.if,
when the whole army defiled before the two SOW
eregns. Each general led his own corps dGrmee,
and each colonel his own regiment. General
Wratislaw remained in the immediate vicinity OF
the emperors. Clam, who commanded the first
division, and who is an excellent officer, wore the
blue riband of ST. Andrew, (Russia J General
Schlick, distngnshabe by the great patch on his
eye, wore crimson Hungarian uniform and white
jacket, and had the thorough look of old soldier.
which, joined to his high reputation as general,
made him one of the most remarkable figures on
the field.
Prince WindischgratZ and the Ban Jelachich
also figured as colonies, and, not 10 tire you with
too many proper names m a string, | add III the
imperial cortege the brother of the emperor, his
Bavarian brother-in-law, and several archdukes.

was in the group. 81" 49, \.
When the Prince of Prussia, as colonel of his
Austria regiment. rode past, aud then joined the
cortege the two emperors rode little forward, in
courtesy. The veteran PaskeWltsch, as colonel,
also led his regiment, and appeared TO be compli-
mented by the Emperor of Austria, 10 Judge by the
profound bows and pleased looks of the Prince OF
Warsaw.
The deile lasted three full hours, the Emperor
of Austria acting as nomenclator to his imperial
ally, who sat on his horse and enjoyed his favorite
spectacle with manifest gusto. But, even apart
from great personaGcs, the scene was highly IN
teresting as the old tattercd flags that had stood
the battles and the breezcs from Lclpsfc and
Gemappe to Temcswar We're carried past; and
as the sound Of one fine band died away in the
distance, the trumpet tones OF another coming on,
awoke the echoes A great white sea OF tents
was seen spread over miles OF country, and the
spectators from all parts of the empire and of
Germany crowded literally in myrads round the
vast enclosed cnceiRtc that in the little town OF
Olmutz we have Melbourne prices and Melbourne
accommodation, the streets MI night rafting with
the .facres of despair-strickcn arrivals, unsuc-
cessiuly begging shakedown in the smallest
public houses.
Baltimore Riot.--A most disgracetul riot and
outrage occurred on Saturday night, between
8 and 10 o'clock, at the corner OF Front and Low
streets, in which a number OF rowdes, rallyng
unQef the names OF oSo
were the actors. For some time a perfect sat
urnalia of rufianism prevailed in great fury.
Captain Mitchell and the police force of the mid
die district came to the scene OF action, where
pistol shots were fred in quick succession by
the parties-one Of the balls from which struck
officer Cowman in the shoulder, naicting a severe
wound. DR.. Arnold extracted the missile, which
appeared TO be an iron slug, and came within a
hairs breadth ofresulting fatally. Another man
was shot through the wrist, and il is supposed that
other persons were injured whose names are
not ascertained. Shortly afterwards deputy high
constable Wright, with the advice of Capt Mitch
ell, called large force of police and watch, and
ascertaining that nearly the entire party ofruans
had gone out the Belair road to large field oppo-
site the Greenwood Gardens for the purpose Of
indulging in their rotous propensties, followed
them. They succeeded in capturing Jony-fwo--
not, however, without considerable resistance, in
which several pistol shots were fired al the OFF,
GERS, fortunately without doing any damage. They
were all brought to town and locked up in the
middle and eastern district watch-houses, whence
they were committed to jail by Justice Kemp to
answer at court. The police and watch acted in
the most prompt and efficient manner, and deserve
much credit for their successful efforts in arrest
ing the parties.
