it will commence on Monday following. Mr. Bonham
Carter is to propose, and the Hon. Augustus Moreton

mond ? Answer—Because she was an advocate for
protection.

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 Inonstre platform for dancing, the merits of which will,
doubtlesy, be fully appreciated, especially by such foreigners
—and we trust they will be many—who will honour the
gardens with a visit. A. host of entertainments, vocal, in-
strumental, theatrical, illusional, pyrotechnical, and strictly
exhibitional, aro announced; and amongst them we may
mention the performances of the Deulins in ballet, and poses.'
plastiques of a peculiarly. interesting and highly classical
character; the war exercises and domestic customs of the
Licsjesmans, who will be found to have taken up their abode.
in the gardens; and, in June next, the performances of
Franconi and his celebrated equestrian troupe--a novelty
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 conse-
giuence of having found that during the late insurrection in
_Hungary the lancers had a decided superiority over every
other description of light cavalry.

BOUNTY AND BENEVOLENCE.—Though there are
doubtless still some who " do good by stealth, and blush to
find it fame," yet such instances of benevolence as we an
about to record are especially deserving of notice, inasmuch
as at least they are not of frequent occurrence. Soon after
her arrival in Dublin, as Miss Catherine Hayes, the highly;
gifted and amiable vocalist, was passing along one of' the
principal thoroughfares her attention was attracted to a
group consisting of a middle aged wornan with a child at her
breast and a little boy of about eight years of age standing
by her side, who joined his mother in singing with an un-
usual degree of taste and skill ono of the popular ballads of
the day. Their appearance, though sufficiently miserable,
still bore traces of respectability, and cleanliness struggling
with extreme poverty. Miss Hayes tendered the poor
woman some temporary relief, at the same time compli-
menting her on the talent of her 1 ittle boy, when the woman
with tears of gratitude informed her that site was the widow
of an humble but respectable professor of music, who had
been suddenly cut off by an attack of typhus fever, leaving
herself and three children entirely destitute. Her narrative
of distress immediately touched the heart of our fair vocalist
to the quick, and in a few days, haying made inquiries which
verified the poor woman's statement in every particular, anu
finding, moreover, that the little boy possessed an excellent
ear for music and a beautiful voice, she so effectually exerted
herself in behalf of the poor family that the little boy_, after
having been sufficiently instructed in music at Miss Heyes,s
expense, has been lately received into the choir of St.

DEATII OF THE HON. LADY HARVEY.—It is with
unfeigned sorrow that we have to announce the demise of the
amiable consort of our venerable and esteemed Lieutenant-
Governor. This sad event took place at the Government
House in this city, on Thursday last. From the peerage we
learn that the Hon. Elizabeth Lady llarvey was third
daughter of Jerard, first Viscount Lake, a general in the
army, Colonel in Chief of the 60th (Royal Rifles) Regiment,
and Governor of Plymouth. He was advanced 13th Sep.
tember, 1804, to the dignity of Baron Lake of Delhi, Laswary,
and Ashton Clinton, county of Bucks, for the intrepidity,
eminent judgment, and active spirit displayed by him when
commanding the British army during the Mahratta war.
The subject of the present notice was married, 16th Jtme,
1806, to our present Lieutenant-Governor, at that time a
major in the army, and attached to the staff of Lord Lake, in
which capacity he served with distinction throughout the
entire war. Since her marriage, Lady Harvey has accom-
panied her husband in all his varied and distinguished ser-
vices, in almost every quarter of the globe. With the sing le
exception of Canada, Lady Harvey has gracefully di'pensed
the hospitalities of every Government House in the British
North American Colonies. And we are confident that we
speak the sentiments of the people of Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward's Island, in
expressing the deepest regret on the occasion of the death
of Lady Harvey, and the warmest sympathy with her
distinguished husband in his sad bereavement and irre-
parable loss.—Nora Scotian, 11alifax, N.S., Wednesday,
April 16.
