• . VAUXHALL GARDENS.
The anniversary of his Majesty's Birth-day *as celebiated
last night by a splendid gala at these gardens. This has al-
ways been a distinguishes festival at Vauxhall, but the pre-
:tent, in the splendour and bifilitincy, of the various decorations
and devices, the vast concourse of spectators (of whom we think
,not less than 10,000 were present) surpassed any thing of the
kind we have seen for some years. A vtuy handsome musical
temple, erected in the saloon, attracted considerable attention :
there was also in the saloon bust of his Mijesty, surrounded
*ith hiurel wreaths executed in lamps'. The whole had a most
brilliant effect. In the fire-works, of which there was an un-
usually magnificent display, a bust of his Majesty was repre-
sentgcl in diamond lights, with the motto, " Ltmg live our
ratiOn:" A view or Gadd was added to the tosmorama,ichich
was much admired. The whole of the amusements of the even;
ipg went off with great effect. Indeed, we never saw the gar-
dens to greater advantage.

•;-• A TRIP T.O CALAIS'. , I
The facilitlei which are now afforded for an excursion to
the sbores of our Gallic neighbours, produce an itnmense in-
flux of visitors to Calais' which has in consequence become
extremely prosperous.. Scarce a day passes, that from a
hundred to two:hundred passengers do not land from the dif..
ferent steam vessels which depart from the, Thames, from
liamsgiite, and from Dover ; sonp of these proceed on to Paris,.
but a vast number merely remain in :Calais for a day: or
two, and having satisfied their curiosity, return once more to
Make comparisons . in, n 9 .way unfavourable to their national
habits. The' trip is a pleasant one, and may be enjoyed
at a. very moderate expellee. The voyage from the river
Thames is particularly attraCtiVe.,
,and 'to those Who. litre-
bend sickness the inconvenience is very, little more, than
what they must incur in going from Dover. It frequently
that the voyage from the Tower to Calais pier is per.
formed in eleven hours, the greater part of which 'time is of
course occupied in passing down the Thames.- The common
price for the passage from Calais to Dover is now but 55.,,
this is principally owing to the competition among the steam:
vessels. A very tine steam-vessel is now building in (dais
harbour, wWch It is. expected will be launched in the course of
the present summer.

• YORK MINSTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
The highest expectations are excited in the. Musical World
by the approaching Festival in the Minster of. York. It is
presumed that the effect of the full Orchestra of 450 perfor-
mers under the grand centre tower of that venerable edifice,
the spacious nave with its two side aisles probably the
largest area in Europe) being fitted up for the reception of the
audience, must exceed any, thing ever witnessed in this kingdom
excepting the Coinntemoration of Handel in \l'est-
Minster Abbey, and the coup trail of the vast and splendid as-
seniblage beneath the lofty vaults of the Cathedral will be
scarcely less striking. The great attraction of she meeting
will, beyond doubt, be the tinrivalled Catalani. Many of those
who have witnessed with ,astonishment the effect produced
by this wonderful singer in a Church, or a Cioncext room, have
long wished to hear her in Yorkminster, as fhe place where her
amazing powers would be displayed to the greatest perfection.
This opportunity will now be afferiltxt them. Notwithstand-
ing the great number of houses and apartments already engaged
and the immense influx of company expected, we observe that
the Committee still undertake to provide. Lodgings foi. those
strangers who may be desirous of It.

THI btkt OP WELLINGTOI4.
( From the Wolter:o,r journal. )
On Saturday last (the 9th instant)._ his Grace the Bait° of
WELLINGTON, who is at present visiting Cheltenham tilf.,the
benefit of his health, drove over to this city, accompanied by
the Right Hon. Charles Arbuthnot; the Honourable W. L.
Bathurst, &.c. &c. The Duke arrived here just at the time
the Judges entered the city ; and on the circumstance being
known, the bells commenced ringing, and our fellow-citliens
ran in crowds to get a sight of the Hero of Waterloo.. After
spending some time in viewing the Cathedral and County Gaol,
the party returned to Cheltenham to dinner. Yesterday morn-
ing,(Sunday,.loth inst.) we were again honoured with a visit
by thii illustrious Nobleman who came over to attend Divine
Service at the Cathedral, which, owing to his preience and.the
circumstance of its tieing an Assize Sunday, was filled in every
part. His Weee. his evidently suffered from recent indisposi-
tion ; but we rendee to find that the Cheltenham waters hare
had a ,beneticial effect upon his health.
It is with much pleasure we hear dial his Grace the Duke of
Wellington, from motives of kindness to Capt. Marshall, has
expressed his wish that the aster` of the Cerenionies'iltill at
Cheltenham should take place,during his visit, in order thet his
Grace may :thew his personal respect for that Gentleman by at;
tending it. In consequeneg of wastyiah, the M. C.'s Ball will
take pUce this evening (Mondijr;Ohe I Ith inst.), which is
earlier in the season than has hitherto been usual.
ettriTtirliasi, 9.—The town is very gay, and the
fashfonable Amateurs repeated the,; Play of Kierb John this
evening to accommodate the numerinia persons who could riot
obtain seats at the fitst representation the Duke of Nirelling.
tori was amongst the audiezice,,, His Grace was called
from henCe to town to attend h cAinet Council, and set off
at twenty minutes before four o'clock on Thuistlay, Morn-
ing, previous to which he took the waters, anti to.the agree.
able surprise of the promenaders, on Pritiak.inorning, at
ten o'clock, he again appeared on the walks, thug exhibiting a
singular instance Uri person partaking of the waters in Chel-
tenham on two successive mornings, and travelling to anti from
London in the interim, including four hours employed in the
metropolis, and six hours sleep, which his Grace enjoyed,at
Oxford. We are happy to state% he has derived most decided
benefit from the use oi the Spa. His Royal Highness the Duke
of Gloucester is expected here on Wednesday next.

MATTIIEWS has renewed his theatrical engage-
ment with the Proprietor of the English Opera
House. He is, we
,understand, to make his first
appearance in the whimsical farce of Monsieur
T is, onson. As he an excelieptyrenchman, be
will probably give an, admirable portrait of the
poor persecuted Hero of the piece. The author
of the farce has shewn much ingenuity in thus
expanding into a dramatic shape the original
popular tale, which, we are assured, was actually
founded on fact.

POETRY.

THE ONE GRAND .POINT. .
When Man and Wife,
As oft in life •
Both equally in fault we see,
It needs must strike,
That so like,
Its wonderful they can't agree !*
But Dr. Johnson, moral sage,
Review'd the past and present age,
• And ventured to declare,
That Marriage (such its hapless fate)
Was dearly an unnat'ral state, -
Which none could:Calmly bear.
" For mark," said he, "what laws are made,
How binding, nothing can evade,
When strifes arise, and Stormy :weather ;
Yet, spite of all the law's dominion,
Custom, and force of old opinion,
Can scarcely keep the two tdgether.t
A wedded pair there once existed,
'Twist whom' these doctrines were divided;
The husband in the first persisted,
The wife was for the last decided.
Constant their squabL7.es all day long,
Their nightly theme; their morning's song—
Their faith wgs this—Or/Wear is, is w IL" a,
One day, -the usual storm subsiding,-
(For, breathless, all giust leave off diiding.)
The 'Dame began,to smooth her brows,
And thus address'd her peevish spouse :
" Really, my. dear, I can't conceive
Why little things should make us grieve, -
And put our temimrs mit of joint,
When neither care how these succeed,
And we are perfectly agreed
About the main, the onegranti point." •
" Agreed !" the man exclainfd, " what stuff!
In what grand point, I.pray?"
" The grandest point—'us clear enough,
And you," said she, " shall say:
'Agreed in his, which tot a fool
Will venture to deny-.
You wish to ride,
And•so do 1:"
