CREMORNE GARDENS.

The spleedid ete Claimpetre, which commenced on
Monday, in the extensive and delight{ ul pleasure gardens
of Cremorne—for the benefit of that noble Institution,
the .Lcenst.d Victuallers' Asylum—wes continued ester-
day with an unusual degree of eclat. The weather
was all that the lovers of al fresco enjoyments could
desire, bright and beeutiful, while the company was as
numerous and as brilliant as that wi4chrshonoured this
festival with their presence on the preceding day.
The gardens themselves, with, their delightful walks,
shaded over by the rich, foliage of the over-hanging
trees—the Hebe and other sowing fountains•the Castle
of Ondiee—the improved balloon ground, studded with
statuary and vases, clothed at their bases with beautiful
flowers—present attractions of •no ordinary character tn
all who love to luxuriate in the "sweetness of the air
and the pleasant situation," which an old writer
declares are to bo found in that portion .of ..the
neighbourhood of Chelsea in which Cremorne
is situated. The spirited proprietor of the gar-
dens (Mr. T. B. Simpson) has not limited the
enjoyment of the public to these rural delights. His
catering extends beyond mere sylvan scenery, shady
bowers, and the like, and, accordingly, we have enter-
tainments arranged for almost every half hour, from
four o'clock in the evening until eleven, when ail
terminate with a grand diplay. of fireworks, Amongst
the entertainments are the surprising evolutions of the
contortionist, Master Rochez, which are followed by
the acts of Professor Taylor and his double-sightte
son. Then follows Volaete's performances on tfie
rope' with Rochez and his comical dogs, after which
Mr. 4lacney, the negro clown, astonishes the audience
with his- wonderful performances on the violin asd
other instruments, &c. .D,vani, the celebrated Ouraug
Outang Contortionist, next goes through some cxtrir
ordinary movements, which would go to prove that he
had not a bone in his body; and at six o'clock diese
several entertainments are wound up by a grape
vocal and instrumental concert, which takes place in the
Pagoda. After a lapse of an hour a troupe of Ethio-
pian Harmonists gave a chars cteristic concert. Thew
follows a grand ballet in the theatre, entitled Azuriffe-
Atter which, at half-past eight o'clock, the newly de-
corated Pavilion is thrown open, and M. Louis Seal'
tier's " Cirque Oriental" becomes " the observed of all
observers." Here a stud of highly-trained horses con-'
tend, with exceedingly well-trained human beings. i°
gymnastic and other exercises, for supremacy. This
portion of the entertainment is followed by dancieg9o
the Oriental platform, to the Cremorne band; and after
some classical illustrations of sculpture are exhibited
Mdlle. Pauline Violante makes a terrific ascent, amidst
a splendid display of fireworks.

With the vfew-of giving effect to the fete clevnpette
which took place at these gardens during the feat two
days, not only were the usual resources of the establish'
ment brought into active requisition, but msny °that
and amongst them a balloon, ascent at seven o'clock each
day, the aeronaut being Mr. Henry Coxwell.
The Cirque Oriental presented a most extraordinary
spectacle, pit, boxes, and promenade being regularly
crammed on the occasion. The illuminations yore
characteristically beautiful, the final brilliancy pour;
tra), jog the appropriate motto," Success to the Asylanu
Tne children of the Licensed Victuallers' Sob°i
left the grounds about nine o'clock, and, as on the for;
mer evening, were conveyed home under the care
Mr. Elt.

It is due to the police in the neighbourhood of o'°
morne Gardens to state that their services on the oesiiii
sion of the fete were exceedingly valuable in keepingi
the crowd from the childen as they passed along, and '"n
many other ways.
Nothing could surpass the efficient manner in which
Mr. Simpson brought into active operation the resource°
of his establishment, and the great desire which he dir
played to give satisfaction to all the parties interested to
the fête.
The company did not separate until a late hour, theit
stay being procrastinated by the charming state of died
weather, which lent additional beauty to the scene, 011
contributed to render the enjoyment of the company siv.
tisfactory in the highest degree.
These gardens are now daily crowded, their attr'
tions being universally acknowledged to be unequalled 0
On last Sunday upwards of seventeen thousand visie°ri
enjoyed the umbrageous coolness and verdant beatifies °

WARD MISTAKE.—A circumstance has occurred in coupe-
with the election for Inverness, which will, we are ass!"
vitiate the whole proceedings, and render a new election tee
cessary. The sheriff, who acted on the occasion as tilgt
turning officer, did not, it appears, put the election 01, „les
Matheson to a show of hands, bat on that gentlemao %aro
being put in nomination, and being duly seconded, and I' car
being no opposing candidate proposed, the returning 0 fill•
without calling for a show of hands, simply declaredlt
Matheson elected. The Act, we are told, for we bavePeol
0
the moment access to it, is specific in requiring that Poo
of hands shall be taken for and against any candidate
may be proposed and seconded. The affair will prove iliser,
ceedingly awkward one for all parties.
