VAUXIIALL.—A grand union fete, combining the leading
features and amusements of all the preceding festivals of the
season, took place at these gardens last night. From the pro.
digious number of lamps which blazed around in all colours,
an the various devices which every where met the eye, the
effect upon entering the gardens was extremely striking; and
that effect was heightened by the gay appearance of the groups
that paraded the different walks. The fire-works were un-
usually splendid, and the concert and other amusements gave
equal satisfaction. The gardens were much crowded, and the
crush to witness some of the exhibitions was occasionally quite
formidable.

RAMSGATE, Am). 31.—Yeaterday there was the greatest
concourse of people assembled here that ever was known, except
on the day when his Majesty embarked from the port for his
Electorate of Hanover. Every inn and public house continued
crowded during the whole of the day till midnight ; the prin-
cipal streets were thronged during that time, and in some parts
they were impassible without considerable exertion. The great
attraction for the temporary visitors to remain after seeing the
first stone for the New Church' laid, was to see the town illu-
minated for the first time with gas, which excited a considerable
degree of interest and curiosity. It is said that this town will
be lighted as well as any town in England. There are no
less than five miles of main pipes laid down for the purpose.
The town of Margate is to be lighted with gas in a few even-
ings by the Isle of Thanet Gas Light and Croke CompanT.—
The pier of the town is to have the number of 24 lamps, besides
the large one at the end, which will opemte as a light-house..—
