• ! ORNE GARDENS.
' These delightful and most popular gardens, which
have afforded throughout the present season an inex-
haustible variety and profusion of attractive amuse-
ments, were thronged on Monday evening to witness
the debfit of Signora Pauline Violante, the most in-
trepid of rope.dancers. We have seen some daring
feats in rope-dancing and rope-walking before at these
gardens, but never were we more gratified than by
those of the Signora, who is only 19 years of age;
she walked a rope 108 feet from the ground, and 208
feet long, a sylph-like creature, and perfect thing of
life, "grace in her steps," and elegance in her mo-
tions, fireworks playing below, above, and around her,
and all hearts palpitating but her own. To be rightly
appreciated, Signora Pauline Violante must be seen.
The Deulins deserve particular notice, as devisers
of a very attractive ballet, in which' are repre-
sented, with great effect, the four elements,
Air, .Earth, Fire, and Water, and in which Madlle.
Theodore as Columbine, Herr Deulin as Harlsquin,
Mr. Seymour as Pierrot (his servant), and Mr. Gardi-
ner the Dancing Tailor, distinguished themselves
much. Signor Guiserpe, the intrepid Spanish /ten)-
!
I naut, took four compagnons du voyage in his balloon
car, and having set mem down at Hounslow powder-
mills, started tor the gardens by the rail, and was
hailed on his return as an intrepid young aeronaut
ought to be. b, e should not omit to mention the
untiring attention of Mr. Adams to all parties, and
the order and good feeling which prevailed through-
out the entertainments—features deserving of no-
tice in connexion -with so large an assemblrge.
The present enterprising director of Cremorne, Mr.
I'. B. Simpson, has, throughout this most remarkalTee
year of 1851, gallantly sustained his part in " the
Great Exhibition of All Nations," and the character
for spirit and enterprise of his own, justly winning
"golden opinions from all sorts of men." The merit
and the multitude of the offiches he has put forward
have amply fulfilled the most sanguine expectations of
his friends and supporters. We cannot describe the
details of the whole campaign; but some notion may
be conceived of their extent when we state that the
programme for the present week embraces the unri-
valled performances of Franconi and his troupe, con-
certs, the exhibition of the Bosjesmans, Cantelo's
Incubator, a ballet pantomime of great excellence,
balloon ascents, tableaux vivans by the Deulia
family, panorama of Nineveh, the inimitable
singing of Pell and co. Ethiopians, a double-
sighted youth of extraordinary powers, a female
conjuror, and a number of other sights, which we
really cannot remember. In addition to this pro-
lific list there are numerous files • and the mimic re-
presentation of the Siege of Gibraltar, upon the river
Esplanade, is a vivid pourtrayal of one of the greatest
events in the history of the British Navy. Such a
programme we venture to think has never been sur-
passed. Its extent and variety adapt it to all tastes
and all ages, and we can bear testimony to the care
and faithfulness with which it is carried out. But,
independently of spectacles, performances, and
amusements, this favourite resort has its own natural
merits. It is situate in a choice locality, which
aristocracy might envy, yet within the easiest possi-
ble access from all parts of the metropolis. Its green
swards, gently undulating here and there, and well
kept walks, are surrounded on three sides by venera-
ble trees of majestic foliage, whilst on the fourth
there is an extended river front. In such points as
these Cremorne has neither rival nor equal; and it is
only just to add, that its management is worthy of so
fair a place.

IRELAND.
ARRIVAL OF THE PREMIER IN DUBLIN.
DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—Last night the few loiterers
on the pier at Kingstown, awaiting the arrival of the
express mail from Holyhead, were somewhat taken
by surprise on recognising among the passengers who
stepped on shore the well known person of the Queen's
Prime Minister. His Lordship was accompanied by
Lady Russell and family. The whole party proceeded
to town by the half-past tan train. Of course this
day the quidnuncs will be at their wits' end to divine
the cause of Lord John Russell's visit to the Irish
metropolis.
