Tous in a d’armée are to be seen the batierivs of various regi- ments which will be organized into a division of artilery without the slighteat reference to their reg mental aisunc- tions. The formation by regiment. in fact, serves no other purpose than to fasititate ‘be work of the War oflve, and 1 enable the depots to drit! and iustroct recruits. ‘The horse artillery regiments pre each compneed of oight batteries.

Most of them—in fact, the mijor: ty, I boliewo—think it a costly arm that might be dispeage t with, without any detriment to the mens of offisuce, ai with great economy to the eervice. The oumber of horse which one of there batteries requires w much gri tha the number of men, many of whom ta action hav no other occupation thay to hold the borses of the gun ners, and horses are more expensive to obtain and mata tain than men.

Frmay EveninG, May 18, 1859. ‘To-day about noon a crowd was assembled in the Cannébiere, and in the narrow streets leading toence to the upper part of the town, to witness the arrival of a de- tachment of the Cent Gardes, under orders for the seat of wer. A portion had previously left Paris, and been for- Jed to Genoa some days ago. The derachment to day were @ part of thoee who accompanied the Emperor wo the Lyons station when he ieft the capital. The Cent Garces were followed by nine mounted chas- seure of the Seventh regiment, eech man leadieg a horse, intended, I mmagine from the trappings, for the Empe: ror’s use. The two detachments proceeded at rwlkiog. pace to the Joltette and along the back of the custom bouse sheds, spprooriated to the Messagerivs Lmperiales, to the quay inside tbe breakwater, which forms the steam. Arrived here, the men dismounted, took off uheir cwrarces and helmets, which, together with the saddles that were as speedily removed, were pacced in cases previously prepared on the ground. Stern ooto the quay ‘was Ube Ariege, a fine screw transport, tooking, as far as cevid be guersed, about 1,200 tons. Her decks were crowded with infantry ou their way to join the beadquar- ters of their regiments. On the starboard side of the Ariege were lighters, decked over flueh, and moored stem to stern to reach beyond the maipmast. Ropes were stretched on either side breast high to prevent accident, Tbe horses were brourbt three or four at a ume on to the lighters. The one to be embarked then bad a canvaes gling, as broad aa the epace between the bind and fore lega, passed uoder the belly, aod toe ends, which wero made faat to equal lengths of wood to kerp the canvass distended, passed over the back, and hooked onto # fail rove through @ block suspended to the end of the mainyard Waea ali ready, the Word Wap given, and, a8 there were plenty nce On board, the boree, to bis desperate surprise apd annoyance. quickly bauled up into midair, clear above the bulwarks, He was next hauled on board, and safely lowered into the hold, The operation afforded great amusement to the spectators, who never failed to greet with loud lengbter the efforts of the poor borge to keep footho'd as the slings were hanled up, and the deck of the hyhver seemed to sink beneuth his feet. The imploring glances which he cast around for help met wito but litle sympathy. But when abont the tenth bore bad heen buisted up to the bighest poiot, and was being ied on board, an accident occurred whics vaddened every one present, throwing a gloom over the remainder of tbe proceedipgs, and which fataiste would iwterpret asa bac omen, From some vnexpisined cause or anotber, the slings gave way, «nd the horse, which bad been restive throvgbout, was thrown down head fore- most on the deck of the lighler.
