The Fetes at Chrrbourg.

Ga Tuesday, the 81, the Emperor and En-.
pre.s left Paris for Cher ourg, and at every
station on the route were received with lively
enthusiasm.
Ga Wednesday noon, the Queen Of England
lett Osborne for Cherbourg, and on Thursday
the meeting of the Sovereigns TO place on
board the Bretague.
The weather was delightful at Cherbours,
aud the fetes were conducted according to the
programme.
o. Friday the Queen aud Prince Consort
were entertained al dinner BY the Emperor Of
the French on board the Bretagne. The
Emperor, in proposing the health OF her
Maj esty and the K 'yal Family OF Engiand,
male speech in which he SAID:
Il am happy TO be able 10 express the sentl.
ment by which am actuated upon THIS occa'
sion of the Qleen's visit 10 CherbouFg. Inc
facts do indeed speak Tor themselves, and prove
that the hostile passions wnIcn were excited by
some unfortunate incidents have never been
able to alter the friendship which exists between
the TWO countries, and the desire OF the people
10 remain at peace. | have therefore the fond
hope that il any attempt was made 10 revive
again the rancors of a former period. such at.
tempt would be iUiled with the good sense OF the
public as the waves are battl"d by yonder break
water, which at this moment serves 10 protect
the squadIons of both empires against the 'lo-
leuce OF the sea-
The Prince Consort, on behalf Of her MlJ.
estv, responded 10 the toast, in dong which
be said
The Queen is most sensible OF the words "e
have Just heard, which will forever be dear 10
her. The Queen is douoly happy IN having an
opportunity, by her presence here, to JON the
Emperor in endeavorng TO draw together as
closely as possible q ties OF friendship which
exist between the two nations. That friendship
has their mutual prosperity tor rs basis, and
the blessing of Heaven will not be wanting to
confirm it.
The Queen arrived at Osborne from Cher
bourg about five o'clock in the afternoon OF
the 9th Instant. The visit, 1t will thus be
seen, was a short one, and the Qucen never
landed on French soil.

Several of the letter writers from Virginia,
whose correspondence is published in the

ing Gov. Wise as utterly used up in Virginia,
without political power or Influence, and as
discarded by all sorts of people. This is not

to see. Whatever may be our opinions as to
Gov. Wise's political course, or our dissent
from many of his views, he is not "e1tinct in

Lord Campbell ia about to introduce into
the British Parliament a bill dispensing with
the practice of requiring a unanimous verdict
from q jury. He does not propose the ma

the practice Of taupering with a jury by
placing one man upon it to bold out against

The expedition is to leave the shores OF

Experiments have been made touching
every casualty that might possibly take

lieyed to be remedied. The great dis

o. The Providence, r. l., Journal,
complains somewhat Of the shines" 1t
says that the leading papers in various
parts Of the country are cutting down
their hugh proportions, and economizing
in every other way possible. The prin-
cipal cause of this, says the Journal, is
owing to the establishment of so many
offices in the West. 1t adds, that in the
older States, too, a great many papers
have been started that represent nothing,
and supply no acknowledged want in
the community. We perfectly agree
with the Journal in this. Hundreds oil
papers are in circulation in all parts oil
the country, whose only result is the
spelling of SO much white paper. No
one, can blame the community for not
wishing to patronize such establishments;
and to advertise in them, is to throw
away money. The paper in which it is
inserted invariably gives character to the
advertisement.
