VAUXHALL.

After a season as singularly successful at it hat bees tk-
serveelly so, these Gardens closed their entertainments bet
evening. If the fineness of the weather be taken fora
rule by which to judge, these Gardens should certainly
continue their delightful amus.iinews fir at least a fee
nights longer. It was a saying of the facetious bid
Norbury, on seeing the sun shine on a winter's thy,
that Summer had come to pay 11. inter a visit. It wadi
really seem, that fur the last few days Summer had
literally come to pay Autumn a visit, and the propriesen
of Vauxhall should be induced to protract their enteruie-
menus, in courtesy to this their appropriate seas.m. Of
the entertainments we can only speak in the same tare
of unqualified praise that has already exhausted our TOO•
bulary of commendation. Thirty thousand lamps, in add-
Lion to the three or four Ituadreel thousand lamps lit up.
ordinary ocessi,ms, bited " The King," ‘• The Duke of
York," " 'fhe Duke of Clarence," &e., in elegant teanspz.e
rencies of blue and pink vsrieg.ateel lamps. The cosy efeil
of this illuminated square, with a temple of light in the
centre, was truly in a style of gorgeous and orieuial nv4-
iiiticence. It brought borne all those visions of radiant.
ment which have been inspire into our minds by perusing
the Tales of Me Geeii, and those other somantic records
of enchantment, that create impressions whic:t are the
earliest, and perhaps therefore the strongest. It would
exc.-td the number enrolled in homer's catalogue to
mitererate the various and diversified entertairmeno ef
the last evening. Suffice it to say, there was the sane
display of liberal entertainment—the same seer-ie:eile.d
Inanagiement on the part of the proprietors—and tie sane
polite attention by the superintendent man:l:zee of the
Gardens (Mr. Simpson), which have ensureal fcr these
Gardens a degree of unexampl. d patronage, and which
will never fail to await similar exertions to attract and cat-
ciliate public favour. It is a matter of satis'action no less
to the public than to :he proprietors, that only one robbery
has been committed, alehough there have been :00,00
visitants and up wards to the Gardens during the pre
sent season ; and even this solitary instance of theft
was followed by immediate detection, which must give the
visitors of these Gardens renewed and augir.entcd orof-
deuce in the highly creditable mode of manag.ment which
has prevailed throughout the season. The !ollowingis the
concluding address for the s,•ason, which was spoken by
Mr. Williams in a suitable manner, and received nab lota
and general applause:—
" Lactiey and t;euttemen.—At the emelt:eon of the third yard(

GLASGOW THS•7ll.—slim Tree coneleveleil a mod
successful, and even brilliant, temporary emmgement on
Saturday night last, and was succeeded last nOit by ea
celebrated Mr. Siii.lair and Miss Ilallanele. The ph!
I was the ('abinet. l'rimee Orlando. Mr. Sinclair; sea
?loran), Miss liallanele. Mr. Sinclair was in most eN•
cellent voice—he displayed a voluptuous mellowness of toot
which we nescr heard surpassed, and such a power ova
the whole compass of *lutes as to astonish, se much as at'
light, by the amazing rase with which he ran from one
to the other. The " Beautiful Maid" was rapturously r:)•
cored, and " No more by sorrow" called for again wgh
excessive enthusiasm. llr. Sinclair, however, is not the
beau idea we have imagined of a singer. lie is too arti-
ficial and Italianised—his arms move too mevhanieallt,
and he seldom, if ever, displays frellitc. Notwithstand-
ing what we have said of Mr. Sinclair's fes.ling as
singer, he exhibited no small portion of it as a man het
night. Miss Edmiston, a very interesting and clever ac-
tress, dropped dowr. in a fit, just as Mr. Sinclair wasabout
to commence " Oh ! Lady, ne'er will 1 prove false to
thee," in consequence of which, that air was nonce g:,
but " All's Well," substituted fur it. at a later pe cfi
the evening. Miss Edmiston's re-appearance elki
