ROYAL CREMORNIC GARDENS.

The gardens opened for the season lost evening.
The entertainment' provided for the merrymekera were
well varied. Ihe principal novelty was a grand ballet, en-
titled "Amour Flemisch Odar; or, Love's Fairy Power,'
produced under the superintendence of Signor Venal'. The
plot is founded on the old story of the loves of Harlequin
and Columbine; in the first part the machinations of the
magician are for • time euccessfel, but at the proper crisis
the Spirit of Love comes to the rescue, and alter a general
transformation the comic portion begins. Instead of
our old friends Clown and Pantaloon, we are intro-
duced to Plant (Mr. Seymour) sod Petit Maitre, wine
for several scenes kept the audiences in roars of laughter.
In the first part tome incidental deeming was introduced'
and MdUa. Thrace and Mils liensrdo made their first ap-
pearance before this audience. Both ladies danced well, and
will no doubt become favourites during the season. In the
course of the *vesting the Brothers Elliott sad their pupils
appeared in their classical gymnasia, and performed •
number of their extraordinary feats with the globes and
barrels. Mr. Tanner's troupe of performing doge afforded
meek amusement, more espesially to the yoseger portion of
the audience. The representation of the storming of
Sebastopol by see, which attracted se vouch notice
daring last seams, la still open. Notwithstending the
early period of the eeeax, the gardens were mush
crowded, aid the dsaciag Os the large platform was kept
up with, perhaps, even more thee meal vigour. ♦ display
of fireworks took place about eleven o'clock; dancing was
then resumed ; and at a late hoar the first night at Cm-
sorsa for 1856 was brought m a dom. Eatentive prepara-
tions are auk's( for the regular opening of the gardens at

Whitanntids—iuraongst others, a large picture t f Sinbarn,
400 feat long aid 60 fist high, which is intended to be used
for a grand represontatioa of the attack oa the forts by the
allied Sleets.
