VAUXHALL..---Last night there was a brilliant fete at Vaux-
hall Gardens, in honour of the birth-day of the Puke of York.
It is only repeating what we have so often expressed, to say
that the proprietors made the greatest preparations to give
erect to the entertainment. The Gardens were illuminated,
we arc told, by upwards (A 15,000 additional lamps, and, from
the blaze of splendour which met our view: we can readily be-
lieve that such was the case. A new and pleasant ballet Was
produced, called The Venetian Bull: it gave great gatisfaetion
to the visitors, who indeed appearedgin the best possible hu-
mour with the whole entertaimurnt. The musical temple was
again exhibited ; the Chinese 'entrance was also opened, and
the walk leading from it Mendidly illuminated. The fire-
works were very brilliant and varied. The Gardens were well
attended, and, but for the unfavourable state of the weather,
would doubtless .have been crowded.

The Bishop of Chichester is amongst the late arrivals at Lit.
tlchampton. Ills Lordship has taken a house for six weeks.
.1. 11. Freeland, Esq. has purchased the Prioryy, at Chichester,

berries, currants, raspberries, 4f4c. Although the quantity of
out-door fruit,,from the lateness of the season, was nut so great
as usual; there were a few articles that attracted the attention
of Horticulturists, particularly some very well-ripened figs, on
standards, produced by Lord. Aslitown's gardener, who ob-
tained a reward, as did 31r. 13eadon's gardener for a specimen
of the iliclastonsa discolor; which had never been flowered in
England.—Mr. Silverlock's pines obtained likewise a reward.—

AST EC DOTE.—The great Lord MkN .
sFIELD, it
is said, once told the following story from the tench, on an in-
cidental occasion:—lle had turned off his coachman for
certain acts of peculation, not uncommon in this class of
persons. The fellow begged hiS 'Lordship to give him
a character. "4What kind of a character can I give you ;
says his Lordship. " 0, my Lord, any character your
Lordship pleases to give me, I shall most thankfully
gre-
ceive." His Lordship accordingly sat down, und wrote as folio** :
_46 The bearer, John —, has served me three years in the ca-
pacity of coachman. lie is an able driver, and a very so bet man.
I discharged him becausehecheated me.--SignetiAlastsvir.t.u."
John thanked his Lordship and went off. A few morning,
afterwards, when his Lordship was goin through his lobby to
W
step into his coach for 'estminster • Hatt, a man in a very
handsome livery, made him a low bow. To his surprise he
recognized his late coachman.--'` 'fit John, (say, his

ON TREAD-MILLS.
These Brixton Mills are fearful ills,
Arahe who brought the Bill in,
Is threaten'd by the cribbing coves,
That he shall have a milling.
They say he show'd a Simple pate,
To think of felons mending;
As every step which here they take,
They're still in crime ascending.
And when relesed, and in the streets,
Their former snares they're spreading, '
They swear 'tis ParlisMent whicb wills
They must their old ways tread in.
•
The Radicals and lluntites think
'Twill touch the Constitution,
For as the wheel moves round and round,
It brings a &volution.'
But though these snarlers show their teeth,
And try to vex the nation,
Their actions soon are tried and juded,
And grinding is their :tuition.
The gambling-swells, who near St. James'
Have play'd their double dealings,
Say 'tis not fair that Bow-street should
Thus work upon their feelings.
Torn, Jerry, Logic, three prime sprigs
Find here they cannot come it
For though their jitney sours aloft,
They ne'er will reach the summit. •
Corinthian Kate and buxom Sue -
Must change their warm direction,
For if they make our false step more
They'll have Cold-bath Correction.
The moon-struck youths, who haunt the stage,
And spend their master's siller,
Must here play to another tune,
'Tis call'd the Dusty Miller.
Ye bits of blood (the watchman's dread),
Who love to floor a Charley,
As you delight to strip and tight,
Conic forth and milt the barle,y.
John Barleycorn's a stout old blade,
As ever man put trust in,
And you will make no meal of him,
But he'll give you a dusting.
But here we'll stay, for puns, they say,
Are bad as stealing purses,
Anti I to Brixton may be sent,
To grind some floury verses.
