The English feet continued the object OF
great attraction at Cherbourg. At banquet
the Duke OF Somerset, Lord of the Admiral
ty, proposed a toast in honor of the Emperor
and the French navy. Monsieur Lambert, in
reply, proposed the following :-"Queen Vic
toria, the English navy, and entente c0rdidte
between the two Governments"
The MoniteuT, in describing the circum-
stances which led to the mutual visits of the
English and French squadrons, says: England
desired that her feet should be present at
Cherbourg on the 18th, and France cannot but
congratulate herself on the sentiments of
friendship and courtesy which suggested this
thought to the British Government.

BEAUFORT, N. c., Aug. 25. +
(. Gov. Holden having requested Gen. Ruger,
commanding at Raleigh, to remand three citi-
zens, arrested by the latter for assaulting a
freedman, to the county in which the offence
was committed, to be tried by civil tribunal,
and calling his attention to the fact that the
civil law has been organized in that county,
Gen. Kruger replies that it has appeared to
him inexpedient to comply with the request,
for the reason, among others, that it is the
duty of the military to preserve order; and
that, though magistrates have been appointed,
they do not take official notice of unlawful
violence towards freedmen, although such acts
have by no means become unfrequent in the
different sections Of the State He.also says,
that, Of late, several cases of homicide of freed
men by whites have been brought to his know
ledge, but in no case, SO far as he had learned,
was any arrest made by the magistrates or
civil officers, and no attempt made to procure
an investigation; and, from his own observa-
ton and information, these acts of violence are
becoming more frequent. He, therefore,
thinks prompt trial and punishment by mil
itary commission the only adequate remedy
for the evil. fer
