EMBAIIKATION AT CALAIS. 
THE FRENCH EXPEDITIONARY FORCE FOR THE BALTIC. 
Tho Emperor arrived at Boulogne from Paris shortly after 
6cvcn o'clock on Tuosduy ovening, for tho purposo of reviewing 
the auxiliary army intomlod for tho Baltic, previous to tho 
embarkation of tho first division in British ships. 
At eleven o’clock on Thursday morning his Majesty, ac- 
companied by Gcnerul Baraguay d’Hilliors, Generals d’JIuguos 
and Gr£sy, Colonel Floury, and numerous other military 
officors, proceeded to tho cxten&ivo camp now formed at 
Wimereux, a short distanco from Boulogne. The troops were 
drawn up In linos of regiments In the separate camps, to re- 
ceivo tho Emperor, whoso apponrancc on tho ground was the 
signul for the usual military salutes. As his Majesty pro- 
ceeded on horseback along tho lines, each regiment shouted 
“Vivo l’Emporour ”in tho most enthusiastic and unanimous 
Btyle. Tho inspection having been brought to a close, his 
Majesty summoned the officers of tho respective regiments, 
about immediately to march, towards him, and a circle 
having been formed, tho Emperor, In tho hearing of a 
large portion of the troops, and many of the spectators, de- 
livered witli much animation the following address: — 
“ Soldiers, — Russia having forced us to a war, France has nrmod 
fivo hundred thousand of her children. Englnnd 1ms called out a 
considerable numbor of troops. To-day our troopB nnd armies, 
united for tho same cause, dominate ia tho Baltic as well as in tho 
Black Sea. I lmvo selected you to bo tho first to carry ourloagles 
to thoso regions of the North. English vcssols will convey you 
there — a unique fact in history, which provos tho intimate alliance 
of tho two grent nations ( pvnplet ), nnd the firm resolution of tho 
two Governments not to abstain from any sacrillco to defend tlio 
right of tho wonk, tho liberty of Europo, and tho national honour. 
“ Go, my children I nttontivo Europe, openly or secretly, oilers 
up vows for your triumph; our country, proud of a strugglo which 
only threatens tho aggressor, accompanies you with its ardont 
vows; nnd I, whom imperious dutioB retain still distant from tho 
econo of events, shall havo my eyes upon you, — 1 shall bo nblo to 
say : They aro worthy sons of tho conquerors of Austcrlitz, on 
Eylnu, of Kriodlnnd, nnd of Mnskowa. 
“Go, may God protect you!” 
Loud and prolonged shouts of “ Vive I’Emporenr !” and 
other loyal cries followod this nddress. Several of the non- 
commissioned officors woro afterwards decorated, nnd stepped 
forward to receive medals from tho hands of tho Emporor. 
Tho 12th battalion of Chasseurs, the 2nd light infantry regi- 
ment, tho 3rd regiment of tho line, nnd the 43th and 51st re- 
giments, then departed In excellent style, in full marching or- 
der, before tho Emporor und his stuff, nnd proceeded en route 
for Calais, the place of their embarkation. The enthusiasm of 
the troops, with their evident anxiety to be employed in “ tho 
defence of the weuk, the liberty of Europe, and the honour of 
thoir country,” imparted a largo amount of interest to the pro- 
ceedings of tho duy, which, in other respects, were not charac- 
terised by any of those more exciting foatures usually connect- 
ed with reviews and military movements. Ills Majesty returned 
from the review just at the moment when the stonmer from 
Folkstone had steamed up to the jotty, and the numerous 
passengers (210 in number) and crew gave him a warm and 
truly English cheer. The whole number of troop9 to be em- 
barked from tho port of Calais is 9,300 infantry ; there are 
also a number of the horses of the staff. Admiral Berkeley 
has, in concert with the French Vice-Admiral Lapierre, made 
all tho necessary arrangements for carrying out the em- 
barkation. The troops embark in English ships, but the 
artillery nnd heavy ordnance will, it is expected, bo conveyed 
by ships of the French navy. The present division will be 
formed into two brigades, undor General d’Hugues nnd General 
Gr£sy ; the whole force under the command of General Bara- 
gnay d’Hilliers, General, Renault, nnd General Niel, of the En- 
gineers. Nothing has transpired with respect to the destina- 
tion of the forces in the Baltic, though tho report that it is 
intended to take military possession of tho island of Aland, 
as a point eToppui fort\fie , is Very generally received. The 
whole strength of the division iutonded for service in the 
Baltic, including some English marines, will be equal to 
25,000. 
A large flotilla of steamers and small vessels arrived at 
Calais on Thursday evening, to carry tho troops on board 
her Majesty’s ships. The squadron of French ships for tho 
transport of artillery nnd stores consist of two of 100 guns, 
two of 90, two frigates, and some smaller vessels.

Tho Emporor Napoleon arrived at Calais from Boulogne 
yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock. 
Commodore the lion. F. W. Groy, Captains Talbot of tho 
Algiers, Kingcomo of the Royal William, Mansell of tho St. 
Vincent, nnd Clifford of the Sphynx, with Mr. Consul Bon- 
ham, waited on the Emperor, and met with a most cordial 
reception. 
Proceeding to tho business in hand, His Majesty expressed 
an opinion that tho embarkation had better not take place 
on Friday, referring condescendingly to the still lingering 
English prejudice against that os an “ unlucky ” day. 
It was then proposed to postpone tho embarkation to tho 
20th inst., but tho weather being fine, and all tho transports 
ready, it was finally settled by the Emporor and the British 
officers that tho baggage and materiel — which includes 
0,000,000 cartridges and 320,0001bs. of powder— should bo 
placed on board on tlio Friday, and that tho troops should 
embark on Saturday, July 15.

took place on Wednesday last, the course being from the flag-

The signal gun being given they all got well away with tho 
exception of the Truant, which was unfortuuatoly capsized 
owing to tho center board being raised instead of lowered in 
its place, she was quickly righted, but not in sufficient timo 
to admit her taking her place in the race. The Challenge 
took the lead to the magazine, which slio rounded first, 
closely followed by the others, from this point they had to 
bent to tho buoy, and tlio breeze having freshened told well 
on the larger craft, Challenge and Electric fought hard for 
first placo, but Priosten being more powerful in the sea-way 
headed thorn both, and was the first round for tho run 
homo, followed by the Challenge and Electric passing tho 
Rock-light, the wind having died away, the Challenge again 
took the first place, which she held to the finish, gaining evey 
minute on her competitor until the Flag-ship was reached, tho 
Yachts rounding as follows: —

Tho Sirocco having carried away tho jaws of her gaff 
had to give up tho race early in the day. After the match, 
the prize, a silver tankard value £20, manufactured by Mr. 
Hansburgh, was presented by the Commodore to Mr. Bower, 
who was congratulated by the members present on the success 
of his pretty littlo vessel. 
ROWING AT ETON. 
Tlio grand heat of the Pulling Sweepstakes came off on 
Friday, four boats came to the post. Every one looked in first- 
rate condition. They wero placed thus from the Eton shore : 
Hall, inn. nnd Mills nnd Clive and 
Wnrro. Chapman, mn. Mr. Trefusis 
Malcolm, cox. Gosling, cox. Lubbock, cox. 
Collins, inn, nnd 
Collins, ml. 
Lane, Fox, nil. cox. 
Soon after tho time appointed they took up their positions, 
and many an eye was cast on Hall, ma, and Wavre, who wore 
tho docided favourites; nor was thoir opinion wrong, for im- 
mediately tho gun was fired they showed in front, and at tho 
Railroad-bridgo were two boat’s lengths a-liead. Tho rapidity 
witli which they shot a-head was a good deal owing to their 
station, which is so far superior to any other. Now a splendid 
race ensued between the other three boats, Mills and Chapman 
lying first, and Collins (major and minor) last. In this 
order they rounded Lower Hope; but before Upper Hope had 
hpen arrived at, Collins (major and minor) went a-head of 
Clive und Mr. Trefusis, Mills and Chapman, ma., still 
keeping two boats’ length in front of tho former pair. Collins 
(major and minor) now set to work in determined 
style, and before long overhauled Mills and Chapman 
and consequently occupied the second place, Hall, ma., and 
Wurre rowing 6trong and well together, kept some way in 
advance. They turned the Rye Peck in this order. Hall, 
ma., and Warrc, Collins (major and minor); Mills and Chap- 
man, ma.; Clive nnd Mr. Trefusis. All continued well in 
their stations all the way down, till Clivo and Mr. Trefusis 
drew close to their opponents (Mills and Chapman), and 
both aro deserving of the greatest merit for tho plucky way 
in which they strained every nerve for third placo ; and after 
nearly 400 yards had been gone over, both boats keeping ex- 
actly in a line, Clivo and Mr. Trefusis shot a-head by hard 
spurt. In tho meantime, the first and second boats had been 
gradually gaining on their opponeuts. Hall and Warre 
rowed under Bi idgo, amidst deafening cheers, about five boats 
lengths a-hoad of Collins (major nnd minor), the third pair 
about the same distance from the second. 
Thus, Hall, ma., nnd Warre, are entitled to the Silver 
Oars and Challenge Cups. And Collins (major ond minor) 
to the Stiver Medals. This yoar, every one was satisfied with 
the result, there being no foul or stoppage during the whole 
race. 
The winning pair are the fastest we have seen at Eton, and 
every credit is due to them for tho great pains which they 
have taken. Tho second pair rowed well and in good style, 
but could not compete with their opponents in pace. 
Freemasonry — Globe Lodge, No. 23. — On Wednes- 
day this lodge held their annual banquet, at tbo Star and 
Garter, Richmond, when about se venty ladies aud brethren 
of tho craft assembled, under the presidency of the W. M. 
Hewlett. All went off with eclat, and the excellent singing 0 f 
Messrs. Perron, George, and Farquharson Smith, contributed 
very considerably to the pleasures of the evening.

GREAT NATIONAL ARCHERY" MEETING AT 
SHREWSBURY. 
The long-expected meeting of the Royal Toxopholitcs toot I 
place on the Race Course, on Wednesday and Thursday last. 
A line, says the Shropshire Conservative ; that we are all h c " I 
acquainted with from the peer to the peasant, is one that was " 
stilled into our minds in our juvenile days. Then we though’ I 
sublime poesy — 
“ A was an archer, and shot at — a frog 1" 
We challenge any of our readers to recall a passage on arch' r 
more antecedent to this in their memoiy. i 
The 'gentlemen commenced shooting at half-past ele' 1 I 
o’clock, and attention was chiefly drawn to No. 3 tar- 
ns there stood II. A. Ford, Esq,, the holder for several year- 
the champion’s gold modal. At two o’clock luncheon was scr || 
up in the “ Waterloo Tent" at two shillings per head. Mis. H 
ward, of the Raven aud Bell Hotel, provided for the occasion 
a most liberal manner. More than 560 ladies and gentle 1 ’ 1 
availed themselves of places at this board of plenty. At 
back of the “Waterloo Tent" was a large marquee when 
Horticultural Society held its first exhibition. The interior " 
tastefully decorated, beautiful statues and vases being •" 
spersed amidst the magnificent floral collection. Adjoining :
