THE LORD MAYOR'S AQUATIC ENTERTAINMENT.—
On Monday the Lord Mayor gave a grand aquatic entertain•

able nature. The company consisted of upwards of 130,
amongst whom were the Duke of Brunswick, Lord Stowell, the

lain to the Duke of Cambridge, Sir Wathen and Miss Wal-
ler, Sir John Doyle, Captain house, &c. The party left

of turtle-soup and cold dainties. Quadrilles commenced early,
and continued long, notwithstanding the violent heat of the
weather. Three bands of military music accompanied the city
barge, which was followed by the Goldsmiths' and the Mer-
chant Tailors' barges, and a vast number of pleasure-boats.—
The River in the neighbourhood where the party dined present-
ed a most animated appearance.

VAUXIIALL.—The anniversary fete, in comme-
moration of his Majesty's Coronation, took place at these gar-
dens last night, when the natural and artificial attractions of
the place, together with the state of the weather at present,
which suffers nobody to go abroad by day or remain within
doors in the evening, combined to fill them with a numerous
assemblage of respectable company. The decorations were
upon a very magnificent scale, comprising the leading anti
most interesting features of former galas, with various novel
devices. Amongst the latter were a number of illuminated
flags, arranged along the sides of the Quadrangle, at the lower
end of which the motto " Coronation of our Royal Patron"
blazed in refulgent colours, surmounted by a splendid star
and crown, and beautifully embellished with a border of
laurel in green lamps, with the rose, thistle, and shamrock
tastefully intertwined. The variegated lamps which decorated
the trees, as well those that hung in fanciful festoons from
bough to bough, as those that glittered amongst the leaves of
the illuminated grove, again attracted general admiration
from their picturesque effect. The. entertainments were kept
up in constant succession from eight o'clock to midnight, the
principal novelties in which were the performances of a new
overture, and coronation o(!e, composed by Mr. Rooke, which
were loudly applauded. Les Ombres Chinois were presented
for the first time this season ; most of the other amusements
were those which we have described upon former occasions,—
all terminating with a display of fire-works, on which M.
D'Ernest seemed to have exerted
justice an unusual degree of talent
is :
and, speaking of artists, it but to Duffield, the en-
lightener of these gardens for the last 20 years to say, that the
peculiar brilliancy of the general illuminations, and the taste
evinced in the constructions of the devices, reflected great credit
on his ingenuity and experience. Amongst the visitors we
observed the Russian Ambassador, the Duke of Devonshire,
and several other personages of distinction,
