VA UXHA LL GARDENS.
Another Grand Fete was given here yesterday, after the
grand sailing match for a subscription cup and cover, under
the patronage of the Proprietors of Vauxhall. The decorations
of the Gardens were happily varied, so na to assume a nautical
character on this occasion. In additiou to the-display of na-
tional ensigns which we noticed last week, two Union Jacks, and
the St. George's Jack were exhibited in variegated lamps, and a
large ship was beautifully represented in the same way, with the
truly British sentiment, "Our Country's Pride," inscribed be-
neath. In the eau rseof the evening some novel melodies were sung.
Ye Gentlemen of England" was given in very fine style, and
called forth thunders of- applause ; as did " Rule Britannia."
The other parts of the Concert were equally successful : and
though we had again to lament the unfavourable state of the
weather, the attendance was numerous and genteel. At eleven
o'clock the large silver cup, the prize of the sailing match, was
iven to the winner, Mr..Brockelbank, of the St. George yacht.
Ilia was a very elegant vase, weighing sixty-one ounces, and
standing not less that eighteen or twenty inches high. It was
decorated with much elegant engraving. On one side the
King's arms executed in a very spirited manner appeared, and
on the other the following commemorative inscription :
" Subscription Cup sailed for by Gentlemen's pleasure yes.

Coronation Sailing Society, under the especial patronage of the
Proprietors of the ltoyal Gardens, Vauxhall, to the winner,
William Brockelbank.
" EDWARD NETTLEFOLD, Steward."
At the commencement of the ,third Act of the Concert, the
Band struck up " See the Conquering Hero cornea," when
Mr. Brockelbank, the Captain of the St. George, came forward,
and wan presented with the Cup and Cover by Mr. Mallinson,
who addressed him as follows :

" In the name of the Proprietors of the Royal Gardens
Vauxhall, and the Gentlemen composing his Majesty's Coro.
nation Sailing Society, I present you with this cup and cover;
and I am further desired to drink to your health, happiness,
and long life, in which I shall Le most cordially joined by my
Colleagues nnw near me, and we drink it unitedly with the
highest gratification."
The health of the Conqueror having been drunk, the vocal
performers sung the glee of " Here's a health to all good
lasses." The magnificent rettard of his superior skill was re-
ceived by the winner with a suitable acknowledgment, and the
shouts of the spectators announced the high stitisfitction afforded
by the spectacle.—The other entertainments were as effective
as usual, and the fireworks supplied a most brilliant and en.
chanting termination to the whole.—llis Royal Highness the
Duke of Cumberland, and many persons of the first fashion
and distinction, were present.

FASHIONABLE PLACES OF RESORT.
BRIGHTON, JULY 99.
The display of company on the Hill to-day Was much
more numerous than that of yesterday, particularly in pedes-
trians ; in truth, we have scarcely ever seen a more extensive
assemblage of the latter in this part of the world on any pre-
ceding similar occasion. The Richmond, the Argyll, and the
Anglesey families, were there as yesterday, including Lord
Geore Lennox, who returned from the Assizes at Lewes to the
York' Hotel this morning,
illustrious relatives. in t4me to take breakfast with his

AIAROATE, JITLY 29.
Notwithstanding the hitherto unfavourable state of the wea-
ther, we have hero had a daily succession of arrivals by steam
of from two hundred to three hundred, nor, from the re-
ports which reach us of the weather in the Metropolis, can our
showers here be much regretted ; nor are they of any length,
merely paying us on en passent salute ; and, indeed, were it not
that the town is increased more than two-thirds in size, conse-
quently we see more frequently " Lodgings to Let" staring us
in the face, we should now, from the various groups of com-
pany abroad, actually conclude it full, though so early in the
season. The amusements are much the Same as last year.
The libraries, balls, promenades, public breakfasts, donkey
excursions, water ablutions, have all their votaries in full
worship; even the theatre, which is generally the last amuse-
ment which
opens in the season, commenced its career on Sa-
turday last; and it is but justice to remark on the liberality
and taste of the Proprietor and itlanazer, ,Mr..Faucit Saville,
who has entirely redecorated the whole interior of his theatre; '
the stage boxes crimson and gold, thepannels having classic
designs, differ from the rest of the house, which is stone colour
and green pannels, bearing alternate emblems of war, music,
an ieule and commerce. The conranany are of the first pro_
mend . •
mend order, and the opening pieces, She Stoops to Conquer
• and The Hole in the Wall, were trost ably supported. 3lrs.
Saville's Miss Hardcastle increases in approval on each repeti-
tion, and Mrs. Collier, in Mrs. Ear,lcastle, reminded us
strongly of our old friend Mrs. Toyli r, whorn Mrs. C. bids
fair even to surpass, though it requires rnieli to supplant an
established favourite. Mr. Saville's Thoulas; •in The Hole in
the Wall, has often excited our langtter7-but never more
heartily than on Saturday evening, since when Guy Ilfanner-
iag and Lover's rotes have increased the !lima of the company,
and this evening the Countess Pomfret patronises The School
for Scandal and Maid and Trile7. Miss Clara Visher, Miss F.
Kelly, Messrs. Knight, Marley, ll'allack and Kean, are expect-
ed, and we have no doubt front the commencement but the season
will be highly propitious. We have also the Russian Montt..
tains erected in the Fort—a new Cre,leetit—a new Town Band—
a new Steam Boat, the Albion, and_ indeed so much novelty,
that to pourtray must toter you to our future correspond- I
ence.
