" The late hours of Vauxhall are destructive of
health," has, for time immemorial, been the answer
of the majority of fathers to the entreaties of their
children to view the fascinations of this unegnalled
scene, but the Proprietors last night removed the
objection by commencnig the performances at six
o'clock and closing them at 10 precisely—no cur.•
tailment in the amusement, except a little in the
concert, took place, and the presence of more than
twenty-five hundred children, besides at••leaet half
the number a lults, repaid the Proprietors far the
expellee they incurred by an additional performance
to gratify their juvenile friends—.-the following
" LITTLE SONG" was sung by Mr. Charles Taylor,
written expressly for the occasion by Mr. T. Dibdin : •

Come to lend their litttle aids •
To nur Lilliputian FEte,
Where wo boast of nothing great,
But our wish to make merry the scene, 0 L
For each miss—Lots of bliss
For each boy—Lumps of joy,
Hey down, &o. •

To meet your little hopes,

All to till up this fanciful scene, 0!
Little belles--Little beaux,
Little swells—Little shows
Hey down, die. •

Once more read our little bill,
And your little hearts will thrill
At—but speaking by the card,
The word's a little hard, • •

Pillars, Trees—turn with ease,

Water flows—there it goes,
Hey down, are.

Then by peeping through a glass.
Every little lad or lass

Make little star-like nights,

Prove a little bit too long,

Little maids—love these shades,
Little men—come again,
Do pray, each day, patronize our plan.
And support this, our Lillipot scene, 0!
