ROYAL CREMORNE GARDENS.

There is nothing which money can procure that is
wanting to testify the gratitude of the enterprising lessee..
to his kind and liberal patrons. Mr. T. B. Simpson
has spared no expense and no exertions to render the en-
tertainments of the very highest order, and to insure
that every viitor shall go away not merely satisfied, but
delighted, with what has been accomplished for bie
amusement. He is now about to make a further move-
ment in the right direction, by giving to his Sunday
visitors the advantages of an excellent band, thus judi-
ciously following the precedent set by the Government-
at Kensington-gardens.

A very large outlay has been made annually in increas-
ing the interest of these gardens by the best landscape
gardening, by a succession of beautiful flowers, by archi-
tectural embellishments, rural arbours, classic sculptu-
ary, ancient vases, talented paintings, and artistic deco,-
rations, and though on every Sunday the sun has-
scarcely set ere every avenue, nook, and corner becomes
brilliant with innumerable illuminative features, yet it
has been evident that there was one thing wanted to in-
crease the pleasure of the multitude, and render their
Sabbath recreation complete, which one thing English
custom and English authorities had not sanctioned.:
Fortunately a new era has commenced, and a liberal
policy being in the ascendant has determined that the
elevating strains of music shall be enjoyed by the poorer
and the many 33 well as by the richer and the few.
This boon to the public Mr. Simpson has for some
dine been desirous to grant, but he waited to see the
Cieverninent experiment fairly tested ; and conceiving
that on Sunday lait the stamp of public approbation was
unmistakeably set upon it, he no longer hesitates to giro—
on every Sunday afternoon not only music, but music of
the best character that can be obtained. The pro-
grammes will be arranged from selections and oomposi.
tioes by the most talented ancient and modern maiterg.
We have on many occasions alluded with much pleasure
to former spirited efforts of the lessee in reference to the
public; we are desirous not to omil; a record of the pre-
sent, which we think is a move in the right direction.
We understand the new pavilion in the Ashburnham-
ground is in a very forward state, and that its enor-
mous size, peculiar construction, and decoration, will
render it an object of great attraction in itself, indepen-
dent of the uses for which it is designated.
This i as it should be, and it requires no extraordinary
claim to vaticMatien to predict that Mr. Simpson will
receive the legitimate rewards of his zealous and indefa-
tigable efforts to gratify his visitors.

Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert
leave Backingbarn Palace to-morrow, to visit the damp
at Aldershot. There is t., tee a grand review of the
whole of the whole of the troops encamped there, and a
strong force of the R,.yal. Artillery are ordered to assist
at the military spectacle.
THE REVIEW AT SPITHEAD.—The Duchayla, which
will represent the French Navy at the Review at
Spithead, will bo commanded by RearAdiniral Jurien
de la Graviere, and will be manned principally by
officers chosen from the different ports.
We regret t ) hear that Sir J. W. Deans Dundas,
G.C.8., has met with another severe domestic affliction
in the loss of his eldest son, formerly M.P. for the
Flint boroughs and a captain in the Coldstream Guards.
The gallant officer died very suddenly a few days since,
at Edinburgh, while doing duty there in a regiment
of Gloucestershire militia.
PAUPERISM IN IRELAND.—A. return moved for by
Mr. Grogan, M.P., shows that in the year ended on the
29th of Spt. last, the total number of paupers relieved
ire the 51 unions of Ireland amounted to 30,692, of
whom 30,162 were relieved in the workhouse. The total
number relieved in the year 1854 was 27,120. The ex-
penditure for the maintenance of these 30,162 paupers
was 46,8071.. against 43,736/. in 1854. This is exclu-
sive of the salaries of medical officers (20,9541) and all
other "establishment expenses" (12,1961.)
THE LATE EARL COWPER.—The noble earl, whose
death we announced in The of yesterday, was eldest
son of Peter Leopold, fifth Earl Cowper, and the Hon.
Emily Mary, eldest daughter of Penistor, first Viscount
Melbourne (now Viscountess Palmerston). He was
born June 26, 1306, and married October 7, 1833, Lady
'Anne Florence .De Grey, eldest daughter of Earl de
Grey, by whom the noble earl leaves issue Viscount
Fordwrch scow Earl Cowper) and a youthful family.
The late earl was formerly in the Royal Regiment of
Horse Guards, and for several sessions up to his succeed-
ing to the title on the death of his father in June, 1837,
represented the City of Canterbury in the House of
Commons. He was for a few weeks in 1834 Under
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, but on succeeding
to the earldom he relinquished all active share in poli-
tics, although he uniformly gave his support in the House
of Lords to the Whig party. In December, 1846, he
was appointed Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Kent,
on the resignation of the late Lad of Thanet. The late
peer is succeeded in the family honours and extensive
patrimonial estates in the counties of Kent and Hertford
by his eldest son, Francis, Viscount Fordwich, who at-
tained his majority in June last.
WRECK OF AN AMERICAN BARK NEAR DEAL.—Dur
ing the past few days a complete gale has been blowing
from the east and east-by-north, amid it is feared that
many casuaities have happened round the coast. One
vessel (an American) has been wrecked in the imme-
diate vicinity of Deal. Between 7 and 8 o'clock on
Tuesday morning signals of distress were observed from
a vessel off Kiragsdown (about three miles from Deal),
and a boat immediately put off to her assistance ; but
it was then too late to be of any service, as she was fast
drifting on to the shore. In a few minutes afterwards
the vessel was blown right on to the beach; to the north
of Kingedown church, on her larboard side, with her
starboard broken in. As soon as she struck the
captain ordered her masts and rigging to be cut,
which was quickly accomplished. Her name is the
Blanchard, Captain Lawrence, of Yarmouth, United
States, 598 tons register, from Charleston for Bremen.
She is laden with cotton. She had on board (in addition
to 9 men before the mast and the captain and mates) a
man, woman, and child as passengers, the whole of
whom have been saved. It appears that she left Char-
leston on Good Friday, and has experienced very indif-
ferent weather. She was off Dover on Sunday night,
amid was riding with two anchors down, when one of
them parted, and she drifted about until she struck on
Tuesday morning, where the is now lying. The crew,
with assistance, have been endeavouring to get out the
cargo, but it is 60 swollen that it is with difficulty they
approach her. The Blanchard is a fine strong-built
vessel, about 8 or 9 years old, but it is believed that the
next tide will break her up. The wind is still Wowing
strong from the east-by-north. The water is out on the
marshes in this district, awl it is reported that consider.
able losses have been sustained by the graziers, and
that many ewes and lambs bave been lost.
PUBLIC HEALTH.—A numerous meeting of noblemei
and gentlemen was held on Tuesday last, for the purpose
of electing two medical officers of health for the parish
of St. George, Hanover-square. It was generally bee
!loved that there were 39 candidates for these appoint-
ments, but eventually only 10 went to the poll. Dr.
Aldis numbered 55 votes, amid Dr. Druitt 47. The chair-
man, the Rev. H. Howarth, announced the result to the
successful candidates, who thanked the vestry for the
selection which they had made.
