tried on Wednesday ; at the request of the prosecu-
tors, who were not ready, the trial was put off until
the following day; Thutsday came—and the pro-
ceedings were stopped, because flier:. was a certiorari
prepared to have the case removed into the King's
Bench!! What hope is there fur the poor man when
he can be thus ground down?—when the Judge ex-
claims " it is a dcti:ct in the law"—when the res-
pectable Counsel fi,r the prosecutors can show
manifest symptoms of shame and pity at the abomi-
nable course of oppression thus imposed upon him
by his official duty ; and yet the same course be un-
relentingly pursued in the outraged name of jus-
tice!"

ROYAL GARDENS, VAUXHALL.

The most propitious and prosperous season this
beautiful and brilliant place of amusement ever had
was concluded on Friday night—the Proprietors were
evidently determined to spare no expellee to make
the attractions, the coniforts, and the conveniences
of the Gardens worthy of the public approbation,
and in return the public, properly appreciating
'heir exertions, have liberally rewarded them—
the appearance, the gaiety, of the scene was
self-evident to every one, but some of the fre-
quenters of the Gardens, who are accustomed to
enter them at a late hour, may not be aware that
the Wines and Viands have this year been of the
way best possible qu.:lity, and furnished, in many
instances, at less than half the price charged in
prior seasons—thus, while the rich could enjoy in
the most perfect excellence their Champagne, Bor.
guntly, and Claret, the more economic could be
cheaply regaled with the best beef, ham, stout,
port, and sherry, at much less than coKe-honse
prices.—We regret the close W.-the Gardens at so
early a period, but we sincerely rejoice that the pre-
sent proprietors have been remunerated fur their
patriotic determination that this unique scene should
not be closed (which had been contemplated by the
late proprietor) wi;hout an effort to continue its at-
tractions open to the astonishment of foreigners—
the Gardens on the last night were illuminated with
the same brilliancy as has dazzled our eyes through
the season, with the addition of " We respectfully
bid you farewell," in richly lighted variegated
lamps. At the close of the concert Mr. C. Taylor,
who has been employed by the proprietors, during
the present season, as a sort of stage manager, if we
may so use the expression, delivered the following
address from the orchestra :
Lames ASD GF.NTLLMeY,_ .

The period haring arrived when these Gardena close fur the
season, I sot deputed by the Proprietors to endeirsour to ex-
press to yon the deep acute they tntertaiaa of the distiogoished
patrona,e and liberality with which you hare honoured this

Countenanced, as they have been, by the ;:racious sanction of
his Majesty's name, and the great resort of the Nobility, and
Public. at large, they cannot hut feel the warmest gratitude fur
such favours; and I am apprehensive that, in attempting to ex-
press their deep sense of obligation, I shall fail of cluing justice
to their feelings.
The Proprietors haec ascertained, with pleasure and with
pride, that the Euglish nation takes a peculiar interest in the
preservation and continuance of these favourite Gardens; asso-
mated, as they are, in remembrance with years of rational and
lively amusement ; and to cherish ■nd deem re this regard has
and will ever be their study and delight.
They have great pleasure in alluding to • new feature of at-
traction they have this season given to the Garde no—the Juve
site Fete, which excited such universal satisfaction, diet • re-
petition of it has bean much desired, even during the present
*meson. It will be annually cuntiissil, at the must ceuvenient
period of the holidays.
In the Vocal and Instrumental department, both nor city and
variety have been introduced ; and the atsidoous endeavours of
the Proprietors will be directed to give such a character to
br..n •h of their amusements as shall be worthy of the alibi, al
taste of the country.
In the Mechanic, Scenic, and Pyrotechnic Departments—in
the decorations and illuminations—they hate already introduced
appropriate novelties ; and still further improvements are medi-
tated, which they trust will equal any expectation that may lie
excited in the Ptiblic, by this announcement of their design.—
With regent to the amusements genriedy, the Gardens Mlle
into the hands of the present Proprietors but a very s .ort pe-
riod before the commencement of the season now terminsting ;

but as far as that limited time would admit of their efforts, no
expence or exertiou has been spared to render them worthy of
the popularity which they have attained.
The proprietors are most happy to find, that the quality and
price of the wines and refreshments have given the highest
satisfaction, and created a demand far beyond their 'ohm-
patron.
The Proprietors feel highly gratified in being able to state,
that only one or two instances of irregmarily, which were
immediately suppressed, and net one of depredation, have oc-
curred throughout the whole season ; sad you may be assured,
Ladies and Gentlemen, that to *maitimin the order, decorum,
and reputation of these Gardens, t..e same care will be unre-
mittingly employed ; and there can be no doubt employed with
the same anceerm.
I sin desired, Ladies and Gentlemen to add, that the Pro-
prietors pledge themselves, that their past exertions to please
you shall he exceeded by the future. During the recess their
efforts will be iacessant to merit a continuance of the encou-
ragement they have received ; and, to redeem their pledge,
no personal trouble nor pecuniary consideration *VI deter them
Gum selecting and introdaoiog every novelty that is adapted to
their place of amusement, awl worthy of the taste sad judg-
ment of a Bhitish public.
For the Propri:tors, and every Member of this Establish-
ment, permit me to return their grateful acknosmaljnients;
all assuring you that to merit the continu.tiore of yoor appro-
bation will h, their highest pleasure, and proudest bout, to the
words of the Motto of the Evening—
r' We respectfully say farewsli."
