CREMORNE GARDENS.

Some of the frequenters of these delightful gar-
dens evinced their appreciation of the liberal and spi-
rited management of the director, Mr. T. B. Simp-
son, by a banquet to that esteemed gentleman on
Thursday last, on the morning of which day a re-
newal of the licence for music and dancing was
granted by the unanimous assent of the bench of ma-
gistrates. There were nearly one hundred and fifty
assembled to congratulate Mr. Simpson upon his suc-
cess throughout the season. The banquet was held
in the howling saloon, which was most tastefully de-
corated and brilliantly lighted. Dinner was served
at six o'clock, and the chair was taken by Brook,
Esq., a member of the corporation of the city of Lon-
don, who most efficiently discharged the duties of the
office. After the usual loyal toasts, the Chiairman
proposed " Health and prosperity to Mr. Simpson,
the director of Cremorne." He alluded to the great
success which had attended that gentleman's
efforts to gratify the public during the season,
but observed that, however remarkable and
extensive that success had been, it had been no
more than was deserved. It was not only the extent
of the attractions that had been provided, but the de
cent, decorous, and respectable mariner in which all
had been carried on, that had secured for the director
of Cremorne the respect which the foreign as well
as native visitors entertained towards him. He was
glad to say that he (the chairman) and his family had
often been attracted to these gardens, and bad always
retired from them delighted, without ever having
observed aught that could offend the most sensitive
morality. It was indeed gratifying to find that,
throughout the season, there had been no offence
committed that cot ...call for the notice of the
magistrates ; and, therefore, the bench of magistrates
could not hesitate :when application was made to
grant a renewal of his licence. Mr. Simpson ex-
pressed his grateful sense of the kindness of the meet-
ing towards him, and trusted that as be had always
striven to deserve the support of those for whom he
catered, he should continue to receive that patron-
age which he asked for only as long as he de-
served it. He had always studied to make Cremorne
Gardens as respectable as they were attractive,
and the distinguished patronage that he had received
—the noble and titled having joined with the mer-
roaftio amusement. Mr.
mer-
chant, the tradesman, and the mechanic, in partaking
the festivities of these gardens—proved that he had
not laboured in vain to restore the fair fame and good
n of the City of

a worthy member of
" Success to Cremorne," and entered into some parti-
culars to show the great success of the season, which
he said proved that the spirited director had redeemed
the pledge given at the commencement of the season,
that the entertainments should be worthy of the year
1851. Nearly half a million persons had visited the
gardens during the 160 days they had been open. In-
cluding only professionals and parties deriving em-
ployment in furnishing the various attractions, no
it," to which the chairman replied. Mr. Adams gave
less than 210 persons found employment through
Mr. Simpson, whilst in addition, there were 200
more engaged in providing refreshments for the
visitors, making no less than 410 to whom employ-
ment was afforded by the spirited proprietor of this
truly immense establishment.

The management of the gardens proved the
truth of a remark which had been made, that Mr.
Simpson was as anxious for the character of the gar-
dens as he was for their prosperity. The harmony of
the meeting was much increased by some excellent
songs and glees, under the direction of Mr. Ed-
monds, the popular comic singer, assisted by Mr.
Husk, basso ; Mr. Fielding, alto ; and Mr. Sutch,
tenor; the latter gentleman giving a skilful accom-
paniment on the pianoforte. The Ethiopian Sere-
naders, led by Pell, also contributed much to the
hilarity of the party.
O❑ Saturday the brilliant season terminated, and
Mr. Simpson may feel justly proud of the universal
feeling of esteem which has been created towards him
in the public mind, for his most admirable manage-
ment, as well as satisfied with the success of his
spirited enterprise in a pecuniary point of view. We
cordially wish him renewed good fortune in the en-
suing year.
