VAUXHALL GARDENS.
Yesterday evening this popular place of summer resort
once more threw its doors open to the public, and if the
number of votaries of pleasure who thronged the illumi-
nated walks or occupied the verdant bowers he any
criterion by which to form an estimate, we should say
the entertainments of the " royal property" are still held
in much esteem. The gardens themselves have under-
gone no change or improvement, but the Square of St.
Mark's, Venice, which last year was so prominent a
feature in the grounds, has given place to a grand and
extensive pictorial representation of the ancient city of
Constantinople. Many additions have been made to the
various departments that contribute to the amusements
of the visitors. The entertainments commence with s
concert supported by many well-known favourites, both

SYMPATHY WITH MITCHEL.—BIIIMINGHAM, MON•
DAY.—A meeting of Irishmen resident in Birmingham
was appointed to be held on a vacant space of ground in
Lower Hurst-street, at half-past five o'clock this even-
ing, for the purpose of expressing their detestation of the
" odious and tyrannical sentence" passed upon Mitchel
in Dublin, and their sympathy with " the great Irish
patriot;" but at the hour appointed for the chair to be
taken not more than 50 persons were on the ground, and
even this small congregation was for a time completely
dispersed by a sharp shower of rain.
