VAUXHALL GARDENS.

The second Bul Masque of the present season in
these tinag-honoured grounds took place last night, and
from midnight to sunrise the gardens were thronged to
overflowing with, to say the least, as gay and orderly an
assemblage as we have ever witnessed on any similar
occasion. Untiring was the spirit of the dancers to the
strains of three admirable bands, and the remarkable
profusion of female loveliness in varitd and becoming
costumes must have satisfied the Nepauleso Envoy,
Prince Jung Bahadoor and his suite, who paid an unex-
pected visit to the glittering realms of Terpsichore.
Several of the characters were dressed in excellent taste,
the palm being unanimously accord( d to a group of
dancers of the era of Sir Roger de Coverloy. The spi-
rited management of Mr. Wardell deserves every success,
and we sincerely trust that in his next masquerade he
may be equally fortunate in the fineness of the weather,
and in the joyousness and harmony of his festive and
tnulitudinous patrons.

CREMORNE GARDENS.
Nearly 16,000 of the London public were yesterday
.doomed to most serious disappointment at these gardens,
in consequence of his Excellency the Nepaulese Ambas-
sador and suite having expressed a determination to
visit the place, and, without any explanation, failing to
do so. Most extensive preparations were made for their
entertainment, in the shape of a balloon ascent, extra il-
luminations, and additional band and fire-works. A re-
ception-room, which had been fitted up expressly for his
Excellency in the Eastern style, cost nearly 100
guineas. As the evening advanced considerable dissatis-

faction was exhibited by the visitors, and Mr. Simpson
(the director) addressed the audience from the orcbe,ttar
assuring them, in a mint emphatic manner, that as late;
as two o'clock that day he had been at the residence or
the Ambassador, who signified his intention of visiting
the gardens. The performances were then permitted to
proceed, and, by way of recompense for any dissappointi
ment, the band continued playing, and dancing was kept
up till a late hour.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
MALTA, JUNE 12.—The French'steamer from Bolo'
and Alexandria, due here contemporaneously with ibe
India mail, has this instant arrived. This fa t alone is
sufficient to show the remarkable voyage made by the
Indus. She left this for Alexandria at 11 o'clock A.
of the 31st ult., and, after making her port, was obliged
to lay off during the night, since at sunset all COmeln"
nication ceases. She had then to get rid of a difficult
cargo, her horses, &c., brought as a present to the
Viceroy, and take in her coal; and yet, with all thig'
she completed her passage from Malta and back in 2031
hours, at least 24 hours being consumed in delay, end
the necessary duties of the ship. The activity shows b 7
Mr. Davidson, the company's agent at Alexandria, e 0

titl. s him to the greatest
We have been alarmed by reports of the choleraf
having manifested itself in Malta, in consequence
three persons, two in the lazaretto and one en 'Wei
having died, they having arrived here trom the coast 0
Barbary, where a disease said, and perhaps truly, to be
cholera, is decimating the people. In consequence of n,°
sanitary measures having been adopted, the last arrivals
from Sicily brought us information that the genital,
department at Naples bad imposed a quarantine of 11
days' duration on all arrivals from Malta, threatening'
moreover, to refuse all communication, and thus to ens:
pend our commercial relations, should the disease appear
here. In consequence, a petition was made to the tic'.
vernor, signed by 1,600 persons, praying the imposition
of a quarantine of observation on all arrivals from SW'
Gherbi, Tunis, &c., a hicb, however, passed unheeded. The
merchants then addressed the Governor from the Chew;
ber of Commerce, and yesterday a meeting of the Boo"
of Health assembled, and, after much deliberatiom
a quarantine of observation of ten days was agreed to by
a majority of two, tLe numbers being, four for, and
against. It appears, however, that the reports °
cholera are not substantiated, and the weekly medic
returns from 21 easels, &c., show the island never t°
have been in better health than at present.
PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Stromboli stall-
sloop, Commander, Lord Amelius Beauclerk, came into
harbour yesterday to replenish fuel prior to starting 1:
company with the Royal yacht to Gibraltar on Moab;
it is reported.
The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Commander Dumaresq. Op
paid off yesterday.

The Wellesley Indiaman sailed this morning.
The Sealark, 8, Commander Sotheby, is ordered to
ready by Tuesday next to sail for Plymouth to ship the
mail for the coast of Africa.
The Dolphin, 3, is ordered to sail with all dispatch
the coast of Africa.
To-day being the anniversary of the accession of be!

FLORAL FANCIES.
(From the Ladies' Companion.)
Welcome! gleams of green—of amber!
Children! playmates! out and see,
Floating from her ice•bound chamber,
Spring, the flower-crowned spring set free!
See her blue eyes glad to weeping,
O'er the wau world oped anew;
O'er the meads fresh waters leaping,
Silvery• stepp'd, and tuneful too!
Singing, ringing, wildest measure,
Wild as if gone mad with pleasure!

Now the warm rays' noonday brightness
Wakes the sleepy flowers below—
Some like gentle ghosts all whiteness—
Some like maiden cheeks that glow—
Jonquils pale—how pale! but sweeter,
Richer than the rose of June;
Daffodils whose day is fleeter;
Born like smiles and lost as soon.
Pansies clad in wondrous glory,
Rare as kings in eastern story.

Yonder, where the sparkling showers
Fall like music heard in sleep,
There have burst the crocus flowers,
Laughing out while cloudlets weep.
Time of beauty—time of blessing—
Sunny childhood of tbe year!
Earth so lorn ere thy caressing,
Blooms like one whom angels cheer:
Kiss her, clasp her, tend her kindly,
She has sorrowed long and blindly.
Sorrowed childless, bloomless, blighted,
Like a mother gone distraught—
Ah! that young smile rapture-lighted,
Nestling there new life hath wrought;
Lilies weave her brow's soft splendour,
Crown'd with gems—the jewel-dews.
Violets dark her mild eyes render,
Almond-pink her cheeks suffuse!
Kiss her, clasp her—soundest slumbers
Soon must melt at such warm numbers.

O'er her shoulders thickly streaming
➢lay's laburnum knots of gold;
Ringlets rich in radiance gleaming,
As were Absalom's of old!
Now she wakes—she pants—she rises—
Standing 'midst the milk•white boughs,
Bride like! full of sweet surprises,
Bride-like! blushing while she vows.
Now ehe walks the world in beauty--
Now sweet Love becomes a duty.

SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES.
Q s°
Last evening concluded the meetings for the 014
and at the end of the proceedings an adjournment
place till the 21st of November next. Sir R. 11. I°ll'oo
Bart., was in the chair, and the lion. Mr. Neville (e'dx
son of Lord Braybrooke), having been elected and drat•
introduced, was admitted a fellow. The exhibitions
numerous and varied; and certainly the most in,,.ter; rb•
ing, if not the most valuable, were contributed by dried
Smith. They consisted of relics which had been e%ct'llo•
,l
in London during recent improvements, belonging jier,
man and later periods, but we observed nothing ea
and
Knives, spear-heads, arrow-heads, and swords of iron , of
bronze, were among them, as well as some speeitaneee
leather-sandals, as worn by the Romans, which ha"„
brought from the bed of the Thames. Some very au'
rious remains of a similar kind, including a all
tiful glass dish of a lively green, and net
defaced or damaged, were sent from Esseshiegs,'
room was hung round with drawings and Pa'l/joutie
the most remarkable being a Lycian monument. the
by Mr. Falkner, very similar to the one now ~°.
British Museum, discovered in the same contile-iaai'
Sir C. Fellowes. M. Zahn laid upon the table Tier'cir
site copies of the drawings and decorations at itt
laneum and Pompeii, where he spent twelve Seta or
making them ; nothing could be more
beautiful. The first paper read was a coutinn,tins 00
Mr. NV) keham Martin's discoveries and explanst;; ha
the subject of crucifixion by the Romans in BriLtieluson!
denied that the huge nails exhumed with the "'route'
had baen used for the purpose of constructing the cal.
pile; and the fact that the bones were none of thernovier
tined, or exhibited any marks of fire, seems allot 009:
to that position; the question must remain a 111°3 DeP
at all events, until new light is thrown nrtiftlia
season, and Mr. Martin, iu the meantime i 5 ei,erg :
session of the field. A paper by Mr.' Cb...3ral;Cii
Mason's marks, and the conclusion of Mr. -14A'iness
sertation on the Francois vase terminated the b9,5,b1e f°'
the evening. The whole season has been remark
novelty and interest.
