VAUXHALL.

Upon no former occasion have the Public wit-
nessed a more srlendid entertainment than took
place last night in this region of pleasure. It
might he considered as the tAtimph of Loyalty,
as it was in commemoration of his MAJESTY'S

- - -
These gardens, "put on all their beauty and their bril-
liancy," and shone forth in all the gorgeous splendour of
oriental magnificence. Several thousand additional lamps (we
could not easily count how many), variegated and disposed in
curious and fantastic forms, greatly augmented the beauty of
these delightful gardens, and enhanced the entertainments,
which were kept up in great variety and corresponding excel-
lence throughout the evening. The space enclosed by the
covered walk was literally enveloped in " one unclouded blaze
of hying light." From an early hour the company began to
astienible, and the gardens were soon filled. The performances
were all highly creditable to the management of these gardens.
The orchestra was under the controul of Mr. Rooke, and the
style in which the musical pieces were got up, bespoke great
and competency for the department entrusted to his
charge.
The overture from Dei. Freiseltutz was very effectively per-
though with the disadvantage of encountering the
drawback inseparable from musical performances in the open
air. There was a song, " Even as the Sun," by Miss Witham,
a young lady, and a debutante of considerable promise. The
Musical Temple, the Fantoccini Exhibition, the Cosmoramus,
and the French Jugglers, were all in requisition to heighten
and diversify the entertainments. " The King, our Patron's
Day, in green and pink variegated lamps, was taste-
uliy arranged, and attracted particular attention. There were
111" Y new devices in the display of fireworks. Amongst the
moist attractive we noticed a superb circle of forty-eight radii,
with " Vivat Rex" in the centre ; a new piece of firework,
tcittanging at intervals, displayin ofth words, " God save
• the King ;'' a grand representation a cross, with scroll-work
in crimson and yellow, and a variety of chain-work represented
111 white first, with a conclusion representing lattice work of
the most extensive magnitude. If there were any fault to be
rind
.it was with the crowd, which was excessive ; but it
"rk ""vai)ing censure to utter this complaint, for the
_ we fear, is one which the Proprietors will not be very
soncitoua to correct. Indeed, when the vast and expensive
Preparations which were made for last night's amuse-
ments are taken into considetation, one can hardly be selfish
(Inguith to deliy others the pleasure of being spectators,
”d the Proprietors the well-earned profits of the spectacle.
