SALE AT VAUXHALL.

The dismantling.. of this. heretofore popular place of
amusement was commenced yesterday by the sale of all
the moveables, including.several valuable picture's painted
by Hogarth for Mr., Tyers, who was proprietor and
manager of the Gardens somewhat more than a century
since, and to -whom we are indebted for the
Vauxhall as it has' continued to our time.
The cataloguing of these pictures exhibits some
ludicrous specimens of 'Misapprehension- on the part of
the worthy auctioneer; for instance, the picture re-
presenting Jobson Nell and the Conjuror is catalogued
as " The Reproof of the Drunken Cobbler," the eata-
loguer having taken.a leaf out of the conjuror's own book,
and transformed that worthy personage into a Reve-
rend President of some temperance society—a Protestant
Father Mathew. The orchestra is not included
in the sale as .being attached to the freehold ;
it is the property of Mr. Foster;; but alas !
it is only reprieved for a short time. Mr. Foster
has purchased the ground for building, and the days of
the orchestra are numbered. Who could have imagined
when • this orchestra was first erected, upwards of a een
tury since, that it would have outlasted every theatre
then standing in London, with the exception of Sadler's
Wells ? Yet so it is, this wooden erection, which during
o:ie half . the year has' been every night hung round
e ith thousands of lamps, which for a century
has been playing, as it were, with fire, has escaped un-
damaged. while Drury-lanes, and Covent-Gardens, and
and Lyeeums, and Astleys, cum multis aliis, have been
all destroyed. Weliope that an accurate drawing will
laJ made of this orchestra, previous to its destruction.
Its history is the history of English music for the last
' century. It has been the throne of every conductor of
eminence, from Arne to Jullien, and it has witnessed
the triumphs of Mars, and Billington, and Sto-
race, and Braliarn, .and Stephens, and Grisi. It
is a classical building to every lover of music, and
()Tiered are we to know its destruction is inevitable.
Vauxhall, this morning, bore- the appearance of " some
banquet-hall- deserted ;" mirrors and pictures removed
from their places, and going pell-mell with crockery-
ware, kitchen utensils, lamps, and knifes noted as having
,cut the thiuneie 'Slices of ham ever seen through. The
`ir,oriiint'vittis'ait,'`and the attendance at the Gardens
i.'ery thin, constutiently everything was sold very cheap,
the brokers haVtiig it all their own way. Ex uno disco
an!i s..A. summer-house fetched only 18s.

MAN FOUND DEAD.—MYSTERIOUS CASE.
—On Thursday evening an inquest was held at the
Dublin Man-of war,fßiver,before T. T. De Lasaux, Esq.,
the CorOner for East Kent, to inquire into the cause
of the death of a kentlernau" who had been found
in a shrubbery near Kearsney Abbey, lying on his
face in,
_le-Witch, Mr.-Fector's gardener. From a
passport'fotind on the person of the deceased, it ap-
peared that his name was Charles Adolphus Morris
-13eester At. Breslau., Germany, and by pro-
lfession a medical doctor. His native place is supposed
,t4be Ausland. He , was 37 years of age, dark corn-
plexion, and stood five feet four inches German measure,
.er about five feet eight inches English. His passport
was dated ()steed, SePteinber 3, 1841, and he came to
Dover by theoStearpacket. On his arrival he went to
the PrOvidenCelnn;llid after staying a few days went to
Canterbury, where 'be- remained a fortnight. He re-
turned to Doier on Saturday week. The last time
he was seen alive on, Monday week, when he entered
.
into conversation ut 'considerable length with a gentle-
man,- to whom he stated that he had been out to look at
Kearsney Abbey, and the village of River. He stated he
came from Germany, being under great depression of
spirits from unrequitted love ; he, howeve, h o
said, intended to return in a few weeks. He was
dressed in a black frock-coat, black silk waistcoat,
and black trousers. He had also a gold watch
and guard when he first landed at Dover, and, it is
said, a considerable deal of money and other property;
but there was no Money found on him when discovered
by the gardener ; and- we have not heard that any one
knows where his property is, save a travelling cloak,
which is still at the Providence. The cause of death is
still *mystery, although there is too much reason to be-
lieve it was his ow voluntary act. The Jury, after con•
siderable considtation, returned a verdict of—" Found
dead." He was interred yesterdaY morning, in the
a
church-yard at River.--Dover Chronzele.
The country is full 01 small-pox, the fruits of
unprincipled venders of infection, who thereby profit by
a horrid trade. We hope the police and the Poor-law
officers will keep a strict look-out for those fellows, whose
punishment, according to' the 3d and 4th Victoria, is
there months' ireprisonraeut.—Enniskillen Reporter.
