ROYAL CUEMORNE GARDENS.

LAST GRAND FETE OF THE SEASON.

The last grand gala for the season at these popular
gardens will take place on Thursday next, Oct. 2, being
for the benefit of Mr. Simpson's highly respected Sec-
retary, Mr. Adams. The entertainments on this oc-
casion will be very attractive, and the amuse-
ment of the visitors will be amply provided for.
An efficient public servant never fails to be appreci-
ated by the public of London, and we feel assured
that the habitues of Cremorne will not, on Thursday
evening, forget the claims of Mr. A dams. But he is
wisely resolved not to rest on his personal popularity,
and he promises a truly interesting evening. Many
artistes have evinced their respect for him by volunteer.
ing their services on Vie occasion, and there is a rich
programme. Mr. Adams will introduce a practice which
we think might be estAbhshed with excellent effect,
namely, by giving the public the option of purchasing a
2s. 6d. ticket which will free the visitor to all the exhi-
bitions within the gardens.

UTTERING A FORGED CHEQUE—SaIt Hardwicke alias
James Ralph, and Henry Atwell, alias James Attwood,
two respectably-dressed men, one aged 66 and the other
24, were brought before the Lord Mayor yesterday at
the Mansion-House, in custody of Huggett and Scott,
city detective officers, upon a charge of forging and
uttering a check for 4101. 7s. 41. upon Messrs. Gosling
and Co., the bankers, on the 28th of June last. After
some evidence had been heard the prisoners were re-
manded.

THE TRAFFIC OVER LONDON-DRIDGE.—A correspond-
ent of the Times says :—" The present arrangement of
the slow and fast moving vehicles upon the bridge itself,
in four separate lines, two moving in each direction, is
satisfactory when strictly carried out, and to its extent
successful. But more is wanted. The surveillance of
the police is required not only over London-bridge, but
along the approaches on both sides of the river, as far as
Cheapside and Gracechurch-street on one side, and
along the Borough-road to St. George's Church and up
Upton-street on the other. A stoppage occurring at the
corner of Cannon-street, produced by one disorderly
waggoner, followed, perhaps by half a-dozen of his fel-
lows with loads of full or empty porter butts, the deli-
very of which ten minutes sooner or later can be of
little consequence, is communicated the full distance over
London-bridge, and impedes alike the movement of the
alderman who dines at Clapham and the traveller whose
destination is Dover or Brighton, Paris or Calcutta."
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.--Mr. Humphery Brown
has addressed a letter to the Times, in reply to an ar-
ticle. On this subject he says : " Your assumption that
the debts were concocted in the manager's parlour, so
far as mine is concerned, is quite at variance with the
fact. In regard to my transactions I can safely say that
they all passed threegh the same offices as the general
bu,inese of the bank, and my pass-book was regularly
made up in the same way as that of the other
customers and by clerks kept in that department. The
greater part of my obligations to the bank arose by a
transfer from a customer of the bank to my debit. The
bank at that time held 40,000/. of his paper under dis-
count, the value of which was then much perilled by
some large failures in Liverpool, and, after much anxiety
negotiation, and mature consideration, the board of di-
rectors deemed it expedient that such an amount should
be secured. The parties completed securities to me for
the amount to cancel the bills, and which securities I
assigned to the bank ; these securities were valued by
the bank brokers as ample, and they are now in 0011110
of realisation."
