Nationality ia the distreguishrog characteristic of
our northern countrymen, end we are glad to state
that the. vast responsibility which has been incurred
by the committee of unin,:gement in this case will be
tact by the warmest support. The gathering unner,
the joint maneg4neet of the Scottiar Society of
Lonfion and the thnover•park Club, on Tnursdey
end Friday next, in Lord Hoiland'aPark, al; Ken-
sington, promises, by the abundance of amusement
which fillsto overflowing the programme, to be one
of the:neoateattractive fetes of the season. Every sort
and deseeiption of spur; and pastime, ancient, me-
diaeval, 'and modern, will be exhibited. The dance,
of course, will form a great • feature, , and a grand
tournament, with exhibition of the • ancient sport of
hawking, will be added to the immense list of attrac-
tions. Altogether, the Scottish fete promises to be
one of the most attractive _gatherings yet planned by
the spirit of the northern clubs, yet thrown open to
the southerns and their own countrymen.
Lord and Lady Holland have issued cards of invi-
tation to more than. 300 of the nobility, gentry, &c.,
to a grand banquet, to be given by them on Thursday
nighta in'that part of the grounds in the immediate
vicinity of the house, known as the New Winter
Garden. The trees will be illuminated by from
6,000 to 8,000 variegated lainps, and there will also be
a grand display of Frenerh and Italian lamps and
lanterns. The banquet will include a ball and supper,
aml,.during the evening a number of the best Scot-
tish dancers will perform ; and other amusements
will be provided by the noble host on this occasion.
The metropolitan correspondent of the Inverness
Courier says of Oh approaching file—" The pro-
gramme is of portentous magnitude, and announces
pastimes and sports, ancient and modern, sufficient,
one would think, to cccupy a couple of months rather
than a couple of days for the due performance. This
display is to be the 'fete of the season,' and is less
of a Scottish national tban•of a cosmopolitan charac-
ter. No doubt there are to be the old pastimes of
foot-racing, hammer-throw ing, caber-tossing, stone-
putting. But there are to be added specimens of wrest-
ling, exhibiting the systems of Westmoreland and
Cumberland, per contra those of Devon and Corn-
wall; French cane and breton ; racing in sacks, in
wheel-barrows, blind-folded, on stilts per contra of
hap shackled feet and legs. Besides are there not to
be the rolly-polly and the three-legged races, with
the merits of which most people are unacquainted ?
Then there are to be specimens of the English horn-
pipe, the Scottish reel, and tire Irish jig; morris and
maypole dances ; chivalric tournaments on horseback;
variety of feats in every kind of sword and target
exercise ; tilting, jousting, and quintain—the last an
ancient game which has lain on the shelf perdu since
Queen Elizabeth's time, and now to be roused from
its long slumber. But perhaps the most attractive
affair is to he a hurdle race by six large monkeys.'

that they have now an EaroPean reputation, not
only as the melt delightful place of recreation
within the confines of the metropolis, but as really
outvyiug all other establishments in Europe, not ex-
cepting the Chateau des Flours and the Jardin Mabille
of the Parisians. Nature has done her utmost for this
charming spot, and the beautiful grounds are now
dressed in their most attractive garb—the verdure of the
lawns, the brilliance of the parterres, the luxuriance of
shrubs and exotics, and the many-hued foliage of the
lofty trees, all lending their fascinating aid to this scene
of enchantment. Nor have the valuable accessories of
art been neglected. Season after season have extensive
alterations and additions been made, until it appeared
last year, the year of the Exhibition, that perfection
could no further go. But the seal of the director is un-
tiring, and during the recess numerous improvements of
the most costly and valuable nature were introduced.
Amongst the rest water has been made to lend its
brilliant and refreshing assistance, and fountains of
great elegance, throw their pleasing jets, while
grottoes of surpassing beauty, and statuary of
great artistic excellence, meat the eye at every turn.
The plan of Cremorne seems to be, that the round of
pleasurable excitement shall never slacken. Amusement
follows amusement with endless variety and novelty, so
that from the opening of the gates till midnight there is
a perpetual succession of entertainments. Never, ear_
tainly, were more varied or attractive amusements
offered to the pleasure-seeker. Mdsic of the first ex •
cellence, the principal orchestra being conducted by that
great maestro, Bosisio—dancing -al fresco, on the lawn,
and on the great polygonal platform—a.vocal end to_
strumental concert, followed by the black burlesques of
an iniasitahle troupe of Ethiopian harmonists, and the
classic attractions, of a fairy ballet, with Milano and the
Cushnies—Soullier's Clique Oriental, studded, not with
well-trained horses only, but with ostriches and monkeys
that rival the noble animal; whilst the human artistes,

tion to this, are the performances of a Lumber of Kafir
Chiefs, from the scene of the present Kafir war, who
according to the opinion of some copt (leporaries, are of
themselves the most interesting exhibition Lt present in
London, besides cosmoramas, dioramas,
shooting,
bowl-
ing, chiriese games, &c. &c., with sports whose flume is
legion. And with all this, we have, out of doors, dancing

his • dogs; 1
young Irechez, the infant sprite; Machney, the
negro
melodist and imitator; Devari, the wonderful contor-
tionist; De Bach, with hi' mare, Lolls ascent, on the
globe and wheel; and the Italian Brother;; intrepid pee_
tormances on the double trapeze, 70 feet high. It is a
sufficient guarantee for the splendour and excellence
of the pyrotechnic displays, to say that they
are under the direction of Chevalier Mortram,
Mr. Simpson has availed himself of the occasion of these
fetes to christen a new balloon, just made for him, which
toek.its first public aerial trip yesterday, and just prior
to starting, the ceremony of naming it " The Prinao of
Wales," in honour of their royal patron, was performed
by the retpcoted Governor cf the Institution, Mr. sits
Cock; in addition to which one of the senior pupils read
a short address, written tor the occasion. From this our
readers may imagine that this fête may be Pronounced
one of no ordinary character, and that tho attractions of
Cre morne has;e never been developed to more signal ad-
vantage, to greater gratification to the public, or higher
credit to the spirited and esteemed proprietor.
