VAUXHALL. Upon no former occasion have the Public wit nessed a more srlendid entertainment than took place last night in this region of pleasure. It might he considered as the tAtimph of Loyalty, as it was in commemoration of his MAJESTY'S - - - These gardens, "put on all their beauty and their bril liancy," and shone forth in all the gorgeous splendour of oriental magnificence. Several thousand additional lamps (we could not easily count h ow many) , var i egate d an d di s p ose d in curious and fantastic forms, greatly augmented the beauty of these delightful gardens, and enhanced the entertainments, which were kept up in great variety and corresponding excel lence throughout the evening. The space enclosed by the covered walk was literally enveloped in " one unclouded blaze of hying light." F rom an early hour the company began to astienible, and the gardens were soon filled. The performances were all highly creditable to the management of these gardens. The orchestra was under the controul of Mr. Rooke, and the style in which the musical pieces were got up, bespoke great and competency for the department entrusted to his charge. The overture from Dei. Freiseltutz was very effectively per though with the disadvantage of encountering the drawback inseparable from musical performances in the open air. There was a song, " Even as the Sun," by Miss Witham, a youn g lady, an d a d e b utante o f cons id era bl e prom i se . The Musical Temple, the Fantoccini Exhibition, the Cosmoramus, and the French Jugglers, were all in requisition to heighten and diversify the entertainments. " The King, our Patron's Day, in green and pink variegated lamps, was taste uliy arranged, and attracted particular attention. There were 111 " Y new devices in the display of fireworks. Amongst the moist attractive we noticed a superb circle of forty-eight radii, with " Vivat Rex" in the centre ; a new piece of firework, tcittanging at intervals, displayin o f th words, " God save • the King ;'' a grand representation a cross, with scroll-work in crimson and yellow, and a variety of chain-work represented 1 11 white fi rst , w i th a conclusion representing lattice work of the most extensive magnitude. If there were any fault to be rind .it was with the crowd, which was excessive ; but it " r k ""vai)ing censure to utter this complaint, for the _ we fear, is one which the Proprietors will not be very soncitoua to correct. Indeed, when the vast and expensive Preparation s w hi ch were made for last night's amuse ments are taken into considetation, one can hardly be selfish (I nguith to deliy others the pleasure of being spectators, ”d the Proprietors the well-earned profits of the spectacle. lit oti to r an advnced hour this morning the utmost good left the. o and propyiety prevailed, and at the hour . and other ;miens the joyous inspirations of sparkling champaigyi, the excellent wines, induced numerous parties " to twirl cal limb" in waltzes, quadrilles, and Scotch reels.

Othello appeared in a mill. tar) cocked hat, Ituastan boots, and something over his shoulders more resembling a Roman toga than any tither theatrical ap parel which I can liken to it. The Senators all wore large helmets and sandals.. This, as you may imagine, had a most ridiculous effect. Cassio appears to he drinking with a mix. ed company in a tavern, when logo enters and sings a tang, the subject of which is, that Englishmen can never light till they have eaten roast beef and drank sufficient make them insensible of what they are doing. logo an Conio then danced a mock minuet, when Cassia sang Z l i e lbn e t and the other characters joined in Chorus. In rctt which took place between Curti° and floderigo, the ol the latter was pierced first by Castio and then by logo. 7 t 71e4 0 , after about half a dozen somerset s , (after the style of ~`3 14. 1 . n5) tumbled down at the hack of the stage.

The ceremony being concluded, his Majesty and suite returned through the Little Park, and by Frogmore, to the Royal Lodge.

The King ordered each of the workmen half-a-crown.—The King afterwards inspected the alterations making in the inside of the Castle. The work men, in digging in the Castle yard , wh i c h the y are lowerin g about three feet, found a hole which goes down near twenty feet, and also a large passage that goes under the Castle and Terrace, which had never been heard of by the oldest man living. It was pointed out to the King, who gave directions for its being cleared out. All the king's tradesmen in the town are making preparations to illuminate in honour of the day. VASIITONABLE CHANGES.

NEW LAW COURTS. —They have commence/1 laying the foundations for that portion of the new Law Courts adjoining Westminster Hall which had been pulled down. The former buildings were according to the plans of Mr. SOANE ; and it will be remembered, that the Venetian. front and win. down which faced Palace-yard were the peculiarities particu larly complained of. All that front has been pulled clown, and the skeleton of the buildings only remained. The amended plan has been determined upon under the sanction of the Trea sury. The front, in Palace-yard, will be in accordance with the new stone buildings facing HENRY the SEVENTH'S Chapel. There will now be three large Gothic, instead of the obnoxious Venetian windows; and at the corner there is to be (it is said) an octagon tower, 70 feet high. The square tower raised by Mr. SOANE, in part of the new buildings, now con stituting part of the Offices of the Common Pleas, has under. gone some alterations : the elevated stac ks of chimne y s have been pulled down.

From Mr. Sauiin's retired and unambitious habits, it is very doubtful whether he will submit to the turmoil of a contested election. Should he not come forward, the gentleman above designated as his sub stitute does not appear to us very likely to succeed. There was some talk of Mr. Robin son, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, beiug invited to stand for Dublin upon the Portmita IN TEREST! We hope it was only talk.

That,Spirit to whom charge is given To bathe young buds in dews of heaven, Awaking from his light repose, The Angel whispered to the Rose : " Oh, fondest object of my care, " Still fairest found, where all are fair, " For the sweet shade thou gav'st to me, " Ask what thou wilt, 'tis granted thee." Then said the Rose, with deepen'd glow, " On me another grace bestow." The Spirit paus'd in silent thought— What grace was there that flower had not ? 'Twas but a moment—o'er the Rose A veil of Moss the Angel throws, And, robed in Nature's simplest weed, Could there a flower that Rose exceed ? TKOMAS GIBSON, Egg. Banker, Newcastle upon-Tyne, (partner in the firm of Sir MATTHEW WHITH Ittntxy, Bart. and Co.) has subscribed 401. to the new building for the Literary and Philosophical Society in that town ; and given 101. to the lately-thrilled Mechanics' Institution. The Rev. Cut IMES CALEB COLTON, the cele brated author of Lawn, whose mysterious dis appearance excited such general attention a short time SiOCP, is now in town, residing in Princes• street, Soho.

ITA lAA N ECCENTRICITY,—A Venetian, who died not long since, made a povision of torches for his funeral, artificially loaded with crarkers; anticipating, to a confidential friend, the hubbub that would result from the explosion, which he had calculated must take place in the most in-. convenient spot. This posthumous joke verified the most sanguine expectations of its projector. GAMING 110115E9. -Jr h e Magistrate, Mr. Roy., nt Marlborough-street, was occupied yesterday a considerable time, in endeavouring to find out, amongst a number of names jumbled together, Abbott, Houldsworth, Scott, Haines, Muck, Watson, &c. which of the respectable parties was liable to Mr. Tomlins, the collector of the parish of St. James, for the rates of two gaming -houses, Nos. 5 and G, King-street, St. James's, occupied by one or all of the above parties. Mr. Tomlins has more trouble with the rates of" hells" about this parish, than with all the other inhabitants besides. • MUNI= STORM.—On Tuesday, the 3d inst., the eastern part of Suffolk was visited by a violent hsil-stonn, attended with incessant thunder, the violence of which was fully equal to that of the 14th ult. The storm came on in the afternoon ; and an observer thus describes its appearance anti effect :—" The cloud had the appearance of an immense , screen suspended, and revolving in its course. Hail of a large size first descended at St. Edmund's.hill. Several hundred panes of glass were broken at the Mount, the mansion - of Mrs. -Clock/edge. The sky-light was demolished, and pigeons and chickens were killed by the ice. It proceeded in a north-cast direction towards and from thence to Timworth, doing considerable damage in its passage. The crops upon the hike of Norfolk's. farm are damaged to the amount of 1,000/. Mr. Walton and r. Harrison, of Timworth, have suffered to the extent of several hundreds. The quantity of ice which fell is almost incredible; in some places it WAS six feet deep, where it had accumulated. Next morning, on the level ground, it was four inches deep. Singular as it may ap. pear, several tumbril loads of ice were conveyed to Sir H. Bunbury's, anti other gentlemen's seats in the neighbourhood, next day at noon. The crops of corn are nearly cut to pieces. The fall of Ice was followed by a deluge of ram. The storm lasted about half an hour, and its injurious effects spread about 4 miles by nne in extent." Another account says—" About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Bury and its nei ghbourhood was visit ed with a most awful storm of thunder, li gh tning, hail, and rain. It was most severely felt at Horrington, Barton,a Timworth, vermore,Fornham,and Troston. At some of these villages many of the cottages were from one to two feet under water for the space of an hour; and the hail-stones were drifted, in many places, from one to two feet in depth, and congealed in the roads simi lar to snow in winter. Mr. Phillips, of Barton, had a large piece of turnips entirely washed away by the storm, and a large piece of bank was carried away by the flood. Nearly 70 acres of barley, belonging to Mr. Walton, of Timworth, appeared as if half thrashed ; and damage to the amount of 1,000 1 . was said to have been done to the corn on the estate of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, at Fornham." A New York Paper, of the beginning of July, has the following account of a storm, which had just visited the town of Portsmouth :—" On Wednesday, last week, a storm occurred at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, of unusual sublimity and grandeur. Two children were kille d in a school house at Rye. One young man was killed in the garret of a house about a mile distant front the school-house. There were 70 children in the school-house, and more than half of them were knocked down, and many were stunned. On Saturday se'unight there was a thunder shower at Pittston. The lightning struck the house of a Mr. Shea, broke the reach ' pole, came through the root, and killed Mrs. Shea, who was walking the floor, with her child in her arms. The child was not hurt: A lithe was hanging directly over her head when the lightning descended. At the sitting of the Harbadoes Court of Grand Sessions on the lkth of June, the Court . and the Jury were occupied with the trial of Michael Harvey Peter William Henry D'Egville, for the murder of his wife, by sending her toasted cheese mixed with poison. The apprehension of the prisoner for this crime was noticed in our paper several weeks ago. Great interest was excited by the trial ; and a general opinion was enter tained in Court, from the strong circumstantial evidence brought forward, that the issue would have been fatal to the prisoner. Mr. Hinds; the Counsel for Mr. D'Egville, made a most eloquent and ingenious defence. The Jury not being una nimous in their opinion, remained in deliberation until near twelve oVlock at night, at which time, it is said, the Court cannot legally sit, when'they returned into Court without having determined any verdict. The prisoner was, therefore, re manded to prison, and will there remain until next Sessions in December, when be will be ar raigned for the murder of Mrs. Llewellyn, the lady of the house, who unfortunately partook of the cheese with Mrs. D'Egville. On the Monday following the trial of Mr. D'Egville, a mullato, named January, was executed for a murder of which he had been convicted oti tho Friday pre ceding. It is a curious fact t h at D'Egville, who had himself so narrowly escaped conviction for a similar crime, and who was tried shortly on an other capital indictment, requested and obtained pet mission- to be present at the execution of the . mulatto, which he actually witnessed.' LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT CHANCERY---(Tn DAi4 WEST INDIA ESTATES:,--SHAW V. SISIPSON. The . l a oitu CuAtfcgrd.ott, on taking his seat, gave judgment in this cause, which has excited no small degree of interest in the mercantile world. The subject of the suit was certain es tates- in the West Indies, which had been pur chased by Mr. Shaw for a, stipulated sum . of 9,0171. ; of this sum sixteen thousand pounds, had been paid, when Mr. Shaw became in solvent, a (locket was struck against him, and he was made a bankrupt. llis Lordship in giving judgment, noticed the fact of the agree- went having been entered into between the par ties for raising a mortgage, or for the sale of the: estate, and went on to state that the assignees of Shaw would undoubtedly be entitled to the es tate on their paying the sum due OD the amount of the purchase money. Ills Lordship, however, wished them to come to any reasona h le consignment amongst themselves, rather than call on him to give an adverse judgment ; he ,therefore, its in the event of this not being acceded to, should• direct that Mr. Shaw should have the produce ill his possession, as consignee, from the time of the motion, he paying all chartres for the supplies furnished to the estate by the other parties. That # Mr. Grant, the person named, should now be appointed consignee, and in like manner should, out of the produce of those vast estates, liquidate all claims upon them. :NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURTL(Tn:s DAr). William Sexton, of ltc henot e, near heste r, master mariner, came up to claim his discharge; whose opposition was conducted by Mr. lima on behalf of the detaining creditor. It appeared from the schedule that the insolvent had beets discharged within tke limited period in 11420, and since which he had accumulated debts to the amount of 5001. and upwards. his present in solvency he accounted for by losses sustained during the years 1821, 2, and 3, in being com pelled to throw 7001. worth of property over board. This, the Learned Counsel said, was a very improbable story, and left the Court to be lieve the statement.—The COURT declared that the insolvput was not again entitled to the be. nefit within five ye..lrs, unless he got the consent of three-fourths of his creditors. EXTENSIVE FRAUD under the BANKRUPT LAWS. 13ow-STREET.—(`TIits T.)--George Evana, formt.rly jeweller and silversmith at Ilastiog., was put to the bar charged with defrauding his creditors of property to upwards of 3,0001. The prisoner subsequently to his bankruptcy came to London, but in consequence of information he was followed by the messenger under the commission, and traced to London, and at length to Pimlico, where an immense quantity of jewellery, watches, &c. were found con cealed, which he had surreptitiously removed in order to defraud his creditors. Pro. perty was also found at Hastings, and at Lewes, in Sussex. Several highly respectable tradesmen now came forward and identified the property found at Pimlico, which amounted to upwards of 1,8001. Mr. ALLEY attended for the prosecu tion and a Solicitor for the prisoner ) who was committed. M ERCANT ILE SHIPPING.
