ROYAL SURREY GARDENS.

Oct Saturday the season at the Royal Surrey Oar-
dens was brought to a close. M. Jullien, who promised that •
pyrotechnic display on a scale of unusual magnificence wool
light the seuon out, redeemed his promise by affording to
the atietors of the gardens on " the last night positively" a
most beautiful treat of fireworks. The srrangements were
intruited to Mr. Southby, whole skill in this department of
art is unrivalled; and it was generally acknowledged that
since the great public display which was given to commemo-
rate the pence, nothing wu seen to equal the variety end
brilliancy of the spectacle on Saturday night. The concert
was well eastained by Madame Borchardt and Miaa Poole.
The fume lady obtained • rapturous encore for her pretty
sang, "I duatc't that I dwelt in Marble H•SI," but on return-
into the platform she merely bowed her acknowledgment to
the audience. Miss Poole, who is • great favourite with her
audience, sang the old English belied of "Wapping Old
Stairs." At the dose of the concert a gentleman in the
gallery made • vain attempt to address the audience. All
that could be distinctly gathered amidst the uproar which
his attempt at speaking produced was, that there were two
dates, one for the opening and one for the close of the
gardens, and that a bankruptcy intervened between the two.
It was evident, however, that hie audience were not share-
holders, for they entirely ignored the remarks addressed to
them, and rutted into the wardens to see the fireworks,
which, as we have observed, were of the most brilliant
description.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The last fruit and flower
show of the season will take place on Wednesday, Thursday,

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE IMPERIAL INTERVIEW AT STUTT-

OARD.

The following has been received from Stuttgard,
dated the 2nd of Sept.: _ . .

" For the last fortnight a considerable number of
artists and workmen have been occupied in repair-
ing and decorating the apartments of the royal
residence here. These sumptuous preparations,
which could surprise no one who is acquainted with
the habits and tastes of the King, might well asto-
nish strangers to his character. But it soon got
abroad that his Majesty was to be the hat of seve-
ral foreign sovereigns, who were to remain in Stutt-
gard for about a week in the month of September.
Iris now known that amongst those sovereignswill be
the Emperors Alexander and Napoleon. The King of
Wurtemberg is expected here every day from Biar-
ritz, but great preparations are meantime going on
at the king's summer palace and at the palace of the
prince royal. All the soldiers who were absent on
leave have been recalled. There are now from

15,000 to 20,000 troops in the environs of the capi-
tal. The troops are divided into two corps ; the
first commanded by Prince Frederick, and the
second by Lieut.-Gen. Count William of Wurtemberg.
After some imposing military manoeuvres, a sham
battle will take place between the two corps in the
plain between Heilorn Hall and Kanstatt. On the
21st of September there will be a parade of the
united corps near the capital in honour of the two
emperors.

" It may be interesting to know at the present
time what are the ties of relationship between the
royal houses of France, Russia, and Wurtemberg.
"The King of Wurtemberg is the widower of
a first marriage with Catherine I'aulowns,daughter
of Paul 1., and aunt of the Emperor Alexander; and
the Prince Royal of Wurtemberg is married to the
Grand Duchess Olga, daughter of Nicholas 1., and
sister of the Emperor Alexander. The Princess
Frederica Charlotte-Mary, the King's niece, was also
married to the Grand Duke Michael of Russia, the
Emperor's uncle, who died in 1846. On the other
side, Count William of Wurtemberg, the cousin-
german of the King, married Theodoline-Louise-
Eugenie Napoleon, the daughter of Eugene Tieauhar-
nsis, and cousin-german of the Emperor Napoleon 111.
She died last April. The Princess Frederica-Cathe-
rine-Sophia-Dorothea, the daughter of Frederic, the
late King of Wurtemberg, and sister of the
present king, waa married to Prince Jerome. Shedied
in 1836. Prince Napoleon and the Princess Ma-
thilde aro the offspring of this marriage. Finally,
the late Duke of Leuchtenberg, the son of Prince
Eugene Beauharnais, and cousin-german of the
Emperor of the French, married the Grand Dachas
Mary, the Emperor Alexander's sister."
