VAUXHALL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SIR -Your Paper being alike the vehicle of useful as well as amusing information, I take leave to submit a few transient observations on the attractions of Vauxhall 'Gardens.- The New Concert fLciont is certainly a very great improvement, as it attracts to its magic circle a class of individuals who had almost deserted this sylvan scene. Thii was fully apparent on Friday evening last ; for all the grace, fashion , and rank, which remain in the Metropolis,Wid spontaneously, and as it were by sym pathetic attraction, congregat!cl in these Gardens. The gaiety of 4rauxhall was interwoven with the classic ele gance and refinement of Old - Ranelagh. The musical attractions exceed all praise ; and the trifling additional charge for very superior accommodation is forgotten in the perfect round of amusement offered for our enjoy ment. The immense area of the Pit of this truly superb room is. filled with seats for visitors, who will do well to attend at the earliest hour of admission, to secure thpir comforts. Apollnib Lyre was happily blended with the joys of B •cchns, and the jolly old god's rougher ebullitions were evidently chastened by the soothing charms of music ! The admission to the pit of this room is included in the 4.. paid at the entrance door, and there are elegant 1% 'les at 2s. each person ; also select boxes for family c.rcle, at one guinea each. The company appeared mote than satisfied, and were surprised at the immense expens., incurred by the Proprietors; wh• , , douhtless, re posed wi h confidence on the liberal spirit of remunera tion ever evinced by a British Public. - The fairy land intioduced to my memory the beauti- fu. lines of a once favourite poetess (Anna Seward) now no more: Oh ! come not here ye proud, whose breasts inlaid Th' insatiate wish of glory or of gold ! Ohl come not here, whose branded foreheads wear The eternal frown of envy or of care! . For you no Dryads twine the fragrant bower.— For you her sparkling urn no Naiad pours ! timeen by you light' graces skim the green. And hovering Cupids aim their shafts unseen! fiat Trion ! whose mind the well-attemper'd ray Of tore and beauty light to purer day : Whose finer sense each soft vibration owns, Mutt and unfeeling to discordant tones !" At the time the mind was eleveed by the sublime feelings, it unconsciously rbverted to days " lang sync," when the simple notes hf poor Bland, and the enliven in4 strains of the veteran Dignism, &c. added to the gaiety. of the scene. Indeed, I could not avoid regretting the kols s ki . the Cascade—the Miller's Cot—and other emblem:L*4 rustic life. Tnese feelings were, perhaps, blendediveith'llic reclUection of a more juvexile and jocund season of lite. . *. • , I mo, Sir, your obedient servant, Judy 4,1524. • VERAX. .KASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. —The Nitres' Rsterhsefgave a grand ball and supper on Monday evening, it her residence in Chandoa street, Cavendish square. iplcssetd suite of drawing rooms were fitted up with unique taste, and were most hrillianly illuminated.

FIRE ON THE RIVER THAMIEL—Last evening. abi-ut halt past six o'clock, a fire broke out in the Waterloo Dock, on the Surrey side of the River Thames, which spread the utmost alarm throughout the decks in the neighbourhood, in consequence of the imminent danger in which avast number of loaded craft were placed.— The fire originated through the very culpable conduct rf an individual who was pitching the side of a craf hich was lying next the?atty, of Leigh. The laves was loaded with straw, intended for this day's market, and caught fire by aeme sparks from the burning reeds used in pitching the next barge igniting the straw.— The greatest activity was displayed by the watermen and lightermen in the neighbourhood to extinguish the flames, which for some time spread with great rapidity. —The tackle of the Patty was soon destroyed, and we lament to state that one man was killed, and two were injured by the falling of the mast. The banks of the river, north and south, were in a few minutes lined with thousands of persons. More than half an hour elapsed before an engine arrived ; but through the exertions of the workmen on the spot, by throwing buckets of water on the straw, the flames were subdued, in a great degree, and eventually extinguished by the engines. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. NORTIIU B/RLAND ELECTION. PROM rag Mtn alanCUttlf. The .Whigs have fOiled themselves" in eveiy step during the election. Amongst other vile prikeedings we should not forget to mention Weir lateral* to injure the character of the High Sheriff, by attributing to bim a kind of collusion with Mr. Liddell or_ his friends.— Mr. Beaumont was right in saying, at the Newcastle dinner, that the Whigs had cut their own throats. The cause of Wisiggisin in Northumberland is lost for ever; Wednesday afternoon as the High Sheriff entered the Court at Alnwick, he was surrounded by Lord Howick and his friends. The former read a protest against the adjournment of the meeting at the hustings on Tuesday the 27th, which they stated to have been done after consultation with one of the candidate:, and was there. fore partial ; while a freeholder - was speaking, and therefore illegil. The High Sheriff declared his conduct justifiable, in having acted with impartiality, and only dissoliing the meeting when the tumult was such as to endanger the public peace. A voice from the crowd was here heard, exclaiming against the indecency ofl arresting the High Sheriff in the midst of his own Court, and requesting him t o p rocee d to hi s c h a ir. On' arriving at the bench, Wm. Taorraa,' Esq. rose and add; essed the Court : " The High Sheriff is accused in this protest of held:42;l*a with partiality in consulting with one of the candidates ea the pro priety of adjourning the meeting in the midst of min* which 'de• fies description : for nay own part I stood ;lose to Hlgh :aheriC in the same box with him, and I heard no such consultation; and sure ant [none such could have passed without my heaving it. Mr. 'Arleen stood on the edge of the hustitigs, between the lijiph Sheriff and the candidate alluded to, and he is of the same opiate : with me. The Editor of the Tye; Mercury Was in the rereads hos immediately below, and he saw the High Sheriff turn sohis deputy, and say I roust adjourn the and directly a' cay was setup--' The High Sheriff is ash ln Liddell if be we* dissolve the meeting: This is ray 'crime—the levity of the-prfwei . . to adjourn rests with the assessor," . No aoswer being made by Loid Howick or his party' to this burst of manly feeling, the assessor, after waiting a few minut.s for a reply, delivered his opinion, that the High Sheriff's conduct in dissolving the meeting was correct and proper; that after declaring:the state of the poll, he might adjourn immediet ly, ors:it any time he thought fit; that if any tumult arose he was justifiable in clearing the hustings; for his part he would remit mend him in future to dissolve xhe.rneeting as soon as' 'the four candidates had spoken. This decision of the 'attestor was hailed with applau:e by the whole CMlrt, in the midst of. which Lord Howick and his whole ..1 party slunk away without a reply. Thus ended this gross attack upon the High Sheriff of t%e misty, who,l throughout the contest, kus sheet& the most strict im partiality—thus ended this attack upon a man wb has upheld the honour of his cuuptry upon the shores. 9( the Peninsula, who has fought and bled where the.banners of the United States, in sightuf.theis own harbotir;sunk beneath the flag of Britain, who there fought and bled for his country when Witachelsas chcriae witi but a puling school-boy. • The High Sheriff, Wm. Pavan', Esq. itihis-lltter to Lord fluwick, denies 'that he dissolved the rtteeting until the tumult and excitement of the people had at tensed such a height that it was impracticable to obtafk a hearing for Mr. John Grey, or any one else. ,f.. 1 ,1 deny," says he, " that in adopting that measure I cons.s suited the wishes, or acted on the suggestion. of one of the Candidates, as the Gentlemen who signed the protest bane supposed: the act was entiieli my own. 'Affix having dissolved the. metting,..l directed the hustiligs to be cleared with a view of preventing a breach of the , peace, which,. from the state of leeling amongst some of', 'ihe parties on the hustings, 1 thought ont..unlikely ton 4*N-en. In doing this. lam not aware-that -I exercised _any- authoriiyi•und -your .Lordship knows that the opinion of the Assessor-bears me out." MR. LAMBTON AND MR. BEAUMONT. " In consequence of some haguage winos <mowed on the Hus tings at Alnwick yesterday, a meeting took *place this afternoon, at Itamborough, between John George- Lamaism, Bet M.P. sad Thews Wentworth Beaumont, Yet when, after an exchange of shop, the affair terminated to the satisfaction of the woods.* . - fiatarday, June 30, Ind?' kffiadlwasist4 ligna She • It was decided that theparties thduld.proceed'in tiff direction of Scbtland..Mr. Bettornoornrtived at Belford early on Saturday morning, and -hiving had:no sleep during the preceding night. retired to bed and slept soundly for some hours. Captain Plunkett and hrhad travelled across the country by bye-roads to Belford.-- When Mr; Lambton arrived at Belford, some heats afterwards, it was witit the utmost difficulty that the people of that place-would suffer him to proceed: they said he was going to kill ." their'Beemont - ;" und the only means he -hid -of escaping from them was, by declaring that he was going to Howick. The partieV met on Bamborough Sands, about 4 Pat -and exchanged shots, after which Captain Plunkett, • Mr. B:s second; WAS loading again, but Col. Grey, of Morrick, Mr. L:s second, stepped up and told Capt.-P. that Mr. Lambton was satisfied. It is understood that not a single word pas ed between the -principals, either before- or after the affair. Mr. Beaumont returned to Alnwick about six is-the evening. He alighted from his carriage at the Star Inn, and walked to me lodgings of Mr. Donkin,-his principal solietor, followed by an immense crowd who' loudly testified their joy at his safe arrrival. The assembled •multitude waited in the street- as if they expected a speech, and Mr. Beaumont addressed them briefly from one of the windows as well as we could -hear,- to the. following effect : • Gentlemen thank Too for th's expression-01 year kindness, bet I would ra ther see It on a different ,occasion. These. careens stances are at best unpleasant, and I think the less that build the better. I must beg you, therefore to dliperie, and wiidi Jima all pest night."—(Great applame.) • FOR FA &SHIRE.

Mr. Monte has proved 'his independence in past times, nut only by opposing the Ministers of the Crown when he thought them in the wrong, but, in the last two Ses siops of Parliament, by the nianly and dec'ded support helms. given these same Ministers, in certain great ques. tionf, when they w.ese. threatened with desertion byl their own friends. I ,will only add that Mr. Maule is elected by the unanimous voice of the freeholders present. .Mr. Maims said, " Gentlemen, it is no less gra:liy ing to my feelings than flattering to myself, to be called upon for the seventh time, to return you my warmest thanks for the distinguishedhonour you have conferred upon me by placing in my hands the guardianship of the interests of this great and independent c..unty in L.Karliament,-a trust the duties of which 1 shall endea vour to discharge to the bets pf my humble abilities.
