VAUXHALL GARDENS.
Yesterday was a gale "lay at Vauxhall, to commemo-
rate the battle of Waterloo. In how many places, and
how many times shall this great victory be achieved 2
Well may the old veterans exclaim, " Ilow o:t shall
this one toil scene be acted u'er!"
We were curious to see the battle of Waterloo in the
peculiar style of Vauxhall—what sort of serio cottile,
heroic, pantomimic, pictorial, grotesque, musical, miir-
tial, melodramatic melange—what strange extravaganza
worthy of the occasion and itselF Vauxhall would pro-
duce, how evoke from the chaos of things, and the
ideas they excite, an impression on the mind resembling
that of the battle of Waterloo.
We learn that in the theatres of Greece her accom-
plished musicians undertook to represent by music. the
combat of Apollo with the serpent Python. By the
tones of their flutes, the tumult of the battle, the shouts
of victory, and the groans and sighs of the dying
monster, were presented in vivid cohiurs to ?ire mind.
How much of all this was due to the ardent fancy of
the Greek we pretend not to say. But we cannot see
why in the present day martial music, aided by military
display, together with all the blaze and smoke,
the brilliant tumult of the pyrotechnic art, should fail
to give the Londoners as good an idea of Waterloo
on the day of its anniversary. The arrangement's were
most judicious. On each side of the Waterloo ground
were placed the supposed combatants, and as the trees
were, with excellent taste, made to conceal them, the
mind was left full scope to imagine their numbers. The
music, though principally a mixture of English Bad
Fri nch airs, is to be considered as one piece, arranged
by Alexand, r Lee, and called the Vauxhall battle piece,
was very eff etive. It represented at first the advance
of the French in the distance. Then an immense body
of English music pealed like thunder upon the ear, in-
terspersed with that of the enemy ; and as it changed,
mingled with the roar of artillery, it certainly succeeded
in occupying the mind with the idea of a great battle.
This impression was powerfully carried out by the fire-
works, which were truly appropriate and brilliant. Mr.
Darby seems to have called up all the resources of the
pyrotechnic art. Independent of an endless variety of
stars, rockets, wheels, brilliant with every colour, but
which it is impossible for us to describe, the whole con-
cluded with a magnificent device. In the midst of a tre-
mendous mass of fire-works, a picture of Welling-
ton gradually develops itself; splendidly illu-
mined, and surrounded by trophies and standards of vs:
riegated light. The whole was admirably managed, and
with great effect, testified by the applause of an in 3"
mense crowd of respectable people. The amusements of
the circus, too, were really excellent, and beyond de:
cription. The flying Hernandez seems hardly to touch
the horse, and the Auriols have always some astounding
feat or amusing novelty.
The whole passed off admirably. Every one con-
cr•rned seemed determined to make the commemoration
of Waterloo effective, and an immense company seemed
disposed to enjoy themselves.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
(From the Times.)
Yesterday evening this favourite place of amusement
during the summer months put forth all its attractions
in honour of the MI of June. The handbills announced
a grand Waterloo fete, and, in order to give it due effect,
the entertainments provided were upon the most exten-
sive scale. The musical department consisted of 150
performers, and comprised no less than three bands--
that of the Royal Artillery, and those of Messrs. Lee
and Dean. A body of military, amounting in all to 400
men, were pres nt under the commard of veterans wh°
had fought in the batt!e which the ()cession was intended
to commemorate. The pyrotechnic) department, 0f
course, put forth all its resources, and the usual illumi-
nation of the grounds was increa\ed by the light 0f
40,000 additional lamps. The troupe of equestrians
exhibited their wonted skill, the feats of young Her-
nandez exciting great admiration. The grotesque Rer-
f .rmances of M. Auriol also *ere warmly applauded'
In addition to these attractions an American bowling-
saloon and an archery-ground were opened for the first
time, and from the attention they excited seem likely to
become prominent features in the amusements of the
gardens. The great variety of the entertainments,
added to the beauty of the weather, drew together
an unusual concourse of spectators. There could not
have been much less than six thousand people pre-
sent during the evening, and the gardens thus
crowded with gaily dressed visitors, lighted up with
innumerable variegated lamps, and resounding in every
part with the spirit-stirring strains of martial music,
presented a scene of the most striking and effective kind.
The great feature, however, of the performances was the
display of fireworks at the close, comprising, to use the
language of the handbills, " splendid representations
from the regions of light and fire, commemorative of the
great battlefield." Rockets were sent off into the air,
and blue lights burnt, and brilliant devices exhibited in
surprising abundance. Even Waterloo itself could
hardly have been so dreadful in appearance as that exhi-
bition of Mr. Darby's skill as a pyrotechnist. It tenni-
/wed with a transparency of the Duke of Wellington
at Waterloo, and with an interesting display of the
electric light, which was thrown on the military deploy-
ing across the ground. The effect thus produced was
very striking, and was increased by the introduction of
martial music in such a manner as to harmonize With the
scene repre,ented. Thus " The British Grenadiers',
was played while the red coats were in sight, and by
the sounding of trumpet calls at a distance the imagina-
tions of the spectators were helped to the belief that the
French army was also on the ground. After the regu-
lar performances of the evening terminated many of the
visitors left the gardens, while those who remained be-
took themselves to the " Grand Salle de Danse" or " the
Supper Pavilion."

" Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled," is known from
the king to the meanest of his subjects. This dithy-
rambic was composed on horseback; in riding in the
middle of tempests, over the wildest (talloway moor, in
company with a Mr. Sytne, who, observing the poet's
looks, forbore to speak—judiciously enough—for a man
composing " Bruce 'a Address" might be unsafe to trifle
with. Doubtless, this stern hymn was singing itself, as
ho formed it, through the soul of Burns; but to the
external ear it khuuld be sung with the troat of the
whirlwind. So long as there is warm blood in the heart
of a Scotehman or man, it will move in fierce thrills under
this war-ode, the best, we believe, that was ever written
by any pen.—E/iza cook's Journal.
