(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

COWES, MAY 16.

SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.—
The Committee for the town of Cowes have this week
made up their accounts ; the amount subscribed here
was 66/. Os. 6d., a very liberal sum for so small a town.

ber for the Isle of Wight is to take place at Newport, at
eleven o'clock on Friday next, and if a poll is demanded
it will commence on Monday following. Mr. Boaham
Carter is to propose, and the Hon. Augustus Moreton
to second, Mr. Dawes. Mr.l.lamond's proposers are to be

taxed bread. Protection sugar at 9d. per lb., free-trade
sugar 4V.; protection bacon (ugly rusty Irish), 10d.
per lb., good free trade bid.

mond? Answer—Because she was an advocate for
protection. .
Why is Captain liamond like Queen Pomare? An-
swer—Because he does not appear likely to get it (pro-
tection).

CREMORNE.—Mr. Simpson, the proprietor of these
gardens, has shown great wisdom and discretion by delaying
to open for the season until Monday next, thus escaping the
storms that have, until lately, converted every species of
ground into a swamp. Equal Judgment appears to have
been evinced in the preparations which Mr. Simpson has
made for the summer season, particularly in. the construction
of a monstre platform for dancing, the merits of h
whi
orei ch will,
doubtless, be fully appreciated, e6pecially by syc fgners
—and we trust they v;i:1 be many—who will honour the
gardens with a visit. A host of entertainments, vocal, in-
strumental, theatrical, illusional, pyrotechnical, and strictly
exhibitional, are announced; and amongst them we may
mention the performances of the Denims in ballet, and poses
plastiques of a peculiarly interesting and highly classical
character; the war exercises and domestic customs of the
Bosjesmans, who will be
found to have taken up their abode
in the gardens; and, in June next, the performances
Franconi and his celebrated equestrian troup a noveltyof
which ought to be of itself sufficient to ensure an extremely
prosperous season.
The Austrian Government has ordered seven regi-
ments of light cavalry to be turned into lancers, in ons-
quence of having found that during the late insurrection in
_Hungary the lancers had a decided superiority over every
other description of light cavalry.
