VAUXHALL GARDENS.

Last night, notwithstanding the very •nravoar.
able state of the weather, a numerous company was
attracted to these delightful Gardena, to enjoy the
splendid gala prepared by the Proprietors, for the
last night of a season the mos► successful of any
experienced within the last ten years. Under the
spirited matiagem•nt, and by the liberal exertions,
or the present Proprietors, the Gardens, which,
we began to fear, were on the wane, have reassumed
sill the vigour of their meridian glories, and we now
look confidently to their permanent establishment
as tt-e chief, indeed we hail almost said the only,
place of rational summer amusement fur the me-
tropolis.

The brilliancy and number of the lamps Ilia
night exceeded any tiling we have ever witnessed.
In the centre of the Gardens was the following op.
propriate motto, in amber-coloured WOWS oros•
niented with Inure' :
" We respectfully say, Farewell r
At the commencement of the beeollll set of the
concert, Mr. C. TAYLoa delivered from the
orchestra the following address, which was received
with tumultuous applause :
" Ladies and Gentlemen—The period having arrived slim

The amusements of the evening consisted of a
combination of every novelty produced in the
course of the season, and, from the darkness of the
night. the unrivalled dirplay of fire-works never
appeared to greater advantage.
The company lingered till • late hoer, as if ao•
