THE WHITSUNTIDE HOLIDAYS.

The cold and tempestuous weather by which
the preempt Whitsuntide is distinguished appear,
to base offend but slight interruption to the holiday-
making portion of the metropolitan public. To all direr.
lions numerous parties were semi leaving home at an early
hour and the lint omnibuses were crowded with occupants
bent on enjoying the day. The excursion trains to Grans.
mil Southend, Brighton, and other places, hare carried
large human freights from the dust and RDA* of
London to the clear and bracing atmosphere of
the seaside. The " Eight hours at the reside for
half-a•awwn" appear to have been especially popular,
and the Brighton Downs ban no doubt been tra-
versal ley crowds of persona from the metropolis. The
(t)dal Pasco return will show a goodly hatch of visitors,
as train lave bean running thitherwani all day long.
The steam-boats on the river, notwithstanding the storm—
for such it has really been—and the pleasure vans destined
for suburban plaom —have also been active and numerous.
To-Melt operas, camera, theatres, entertainments of all
kinds—nawirel, pictorial, and rcieatific--music and dancing
balls, all pat forth their claims to the suffrages of the holi-
dsy retaken. The theatres are not putting lurch new pieces
in gnat numbers, trusting rather to the success of these
that h•ve already need the ordeal of criticism. Cremona,
Royal Surrey, and Pavilion Gardens, North Woolwich, en
all open for the season, and the various out.and-indoor
aninessnents given respectively at these popular resorts
will &obeli, be attractive to many. The Canterbury
and other music halls cachous to administer to the amuse-
ment of the public ; and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul, and
Mr. and Men. German Reed, an still giving their respective
entertainsnent• at the St. Jamise's Hall and Gallery of
Illostratios.
