CREIoRNE.
AWAY ht the extreme West of London, some
Two miles bevona what is known to strangers as
" the West-end," or fashionable quarter in one Of
the newest suburbs and not far from the Thames,
is place of cheap and general evening resort,
knownas " "CremOrDe Gardens" OF capaclous size
and manifold attractions including outdoor dances,
a circus, &c. / looked in with friend one even
ing and found some three thousand people there,
as many as six or eight hundred of them dancing
at once under the open sky on slightly raised floor
surrounding the tall stand or tower in which the
uuiicans were seated. There were not far from
thousand women present, most OF them quite

NE with surprise was the fact that many obviously
respectable and undepraved girls, mingled and
danced in the throng, including mere children OF
10 or I2 years who could not fail speedily to com
prehend the errand on which the elost ones come hth
er. Ibsd heard much of the decOrOus depraTity of
the Partisan dancing gardens, though never visited
them; here the decOrum was dubious and the
depravity unmstakabe. The English are not

have visited, with friends who are members,
three of the London Clubs-the Reform, which is
one of the most modern and elegant and to which
only politicians of the Liberal school, SO called, are
admitted-the Garrick, and the Fielding. The
Reform has some fifteen hundred members, who
pay $50 admission and $50 per annum after
ward; foreigners pay the 500 per annum only
but have no voice in the management. sfOr TINS
CHARGE YOU have free access 10 fine library, read
ng-room card-rooms, smoking-rOom, diningroom,
&c. where YOU are supplied with meals and what
ever you may consider refreshments at cost. Many
receive their letters and spend most of their waking
hours here, lodging elsewhere and virtually living
al the club. For strangers and bachelors, who
wish TO live qenteelly at a moderate cost this life
has many attractions, with few cares; but Judge
il morally unwhOlesome, though nearly all public
men belong to one or more clubs-sOme to three
or four of them. The Reform Club house with
two or three other of the more expensive, stands
in the very best quarter Of fLondon, near Westmin-
ster Hall and the Palace, and is an elegant and
costly edihce.
The Garrick is house Of far less preteDse,

more comfortable. 1t is strictly limited to three
