to the call of the inngistrates on a less interesting ea,
casion in 1845." This, it is considered, would be a
fair test of those intrusted with the duties of the re-
sponsible office. The council, are, we understand.
open to receive applications from persons desirous of
erecting stages, platforms, and the like, on property
belong to the town which may be unoccupied, and the
use of which they will grant to proper persons free
of charge. A meeting of the general committee vas
held on Saturday, at which several points were de-
cided. The front of the Town-hall is to be Ulund-
i nated with a novel and beautiful device by Mr. Alfred
King, engineer of the gasworks. The question of
a general illumination has been considered,
and is left to the taste and discretion
of the inhabitants. The theatres will not be opened
by the authorities to the public, but the Zoological-
prdens will be thrown open for the admission by
ticket to 6,400 persons, 100 tickets being placed at
the disposal of each member of the council. The
gardens are to be illuminated, and a display of fire-
works with emblematical devices and trunsparencees
will be exhibited, and entertainments added such as
are given by Mr. Atkins en gala nights. Two otl.er
displays of fireworks will be made, one at the north
find the other at the south end of the town. 'The
enclosed space in front of the St. George's-hall v+

be appropriated to the children of the various charity
schools, upwards of 24,000 in number, and a sum of
money will be placed at the disposal of the manager
of each of the schools to be appropriated for a treat to
the children. The preparations at Croxteth for the.
reception of her Majesty are progressing with all
possible dispatch. It is understood that a tent will
be erected in the park, near the south-east entrance
to the hall, in order to entertain the tenants of the
Earl, who will, it is supposed, number about .500. It
is in contemplation to erect a triumphal arch at the
bottom of Brunswick-road, at the entrance of the
town.

A DESCRIPTIVE GUIDE to CREMORNE.
Under the above title a little brochure has been is-
sued by Mr. Sirnpson, giving a very well-written de-
scription of the celebrated gardens of Cremorne, to
which are appended some of the deservedly favourable
notices which have appeared in the columns of the
metropolitan press dining the expiring season. The
first copies were presented by the excellent proprietor
to a select party of friends, who partook of bis hospi•
tality on Saturday evening, when a splendid dinner
evinced that the host of the Alb: on is fully determined
to maintain his :supremacy as English chef de
cuisine as well as the manager and dioector of al fresco
entertainments. The celebrated turb)t which sig-
nalised the opening banquet in May last was rivalled
in its attractions on Saturday by perhaps the most
superb haunch that ever was supplied by Gs'oves, and
the costly variety of the dessert was the tlotne of
universal admiration. The directorship of 11r.
Simpson has been eminently fortunate throughout the
season, and his success is a gratifying proof of the
results that await a felicitous combination of energy,
perseverance, taste, and liberality. Ills outlay mint
have been immense, but the extraordinary popularity
of the concern has brought him in we doubt not
golden harvest. The great secret of that Po-
pularity consists in the singular combination of
multifarions attractions without a single draw-
back on the score of either monotony, indecorum, or
humbug, which makes so favourable an impression on
the Cremorne visitor for the first time, that he is sure
to find himself repeating the excursion to its glitter.
ing bowers
ere many evenings are suffered to elapse.
And it is merely justice to Mr. Simpson to say, that
no inconsiderable portion of the charm is derived front
his exceeding attention and courtesy, as well as his
vigilant superintendence, qualities in the exercise of
which he is admirably seconded by his efficient aide-
de-camp, Mr. Adams. Suaviter in modo, fortiter in
re, is his appropriate moto, and the respect and sup-
port of the public his just reward. We would, in
conclusion, draw attention to the fact, that notwith-
standing the numerous balloon ascents which have
taken place this summer from the Cremorne-gardens,
no accident has occurred in a single instance, which
must certainly in some measure be attributed to the
active carefulness of a manager who is not too lazy
or incompetent to see with his own eyes that every
detail of preparation is properly and securely made.
His zealous attention to the proper working of every
feature of the establishment is one of the brightest
leaves among the laurels which Mr. Simpson hail
gathered in the fairy groves and halls of Cremorne.
" Ho won them well, and may be wear them long."
