LAND. His Royal Highness received visits of congratu-

VAUXHALL GARDENS.

Last night these Gardens were opened for the season,
and, if we may judge of the many improvements (which
are not always the consequence of alterations), we augur
for the spirited proprietors a more extensive share of pub-
lic patronage than has fallen to their lot for several pre-
vious seasons. The performances on the stage are this
season dispensed with, which we consider a very bene-
ficial step, as it not unfrequently happened that last season
the theatre would not contain more than half the com-
pany, end the remaining half had to promenade the gar-
dens for an hour or two until they had concluded. At
the bottom of the quadrangle the word " Welcome" was
displayed in large letters, beautifully illuminated, and
surrounded with laurel wreaths composed of green lamps,
the effect of which was peculiarly striking. In the
long room was a splendid panoramic picture of the
City of Antwerp, the Scheldt, and the Ruins of the
Citadel. The picture is said to be 100 feet long
and reflects the highest credit on the talents of Mr.
Cocxs, who painted it from sketches tak-n on the spot.
The concert opened with the national anthem, sung by the
company, of whom we noticed some favourites of the last
year. Miss ELIZA WILLS (pupil of Signor Vacca.r) made
her first appearance in public, and although she did not
appear to us to possess any great capacity of voice for the
airs assigned to her, yet, making due allowance for a first
performance, we have no doubt she will readily improve,
and be a great acquisition to these gardens. Our favourite,
Miss FORDS, was in excellent voice, and warbled as
sweetly as ever. The male performers, Messrs. ROBIN-
SON, BEDFORD, STA NSBU RY. W. H. WILLIAMS, 81" ,
acquitted themselves in their usual successful manner.
Indeed, the performances of the orchestral department
seemed to give universal satisfaction to the audience. Btu
the greatest novelty—the lion of the night—was the band
of the Duke of Darmstadt. It was stated in the advertise-
ments that this band had been selected by his serene
Highness, whose taste in music was proverbial through-
out Germany, and certainly we never heard greater per-
fection in a military band. They played several pieces,
both in front of the Pavilion and in the Orchestra, and
were loudly applauded. The fireworks were moat
splendid, among which were several novelties. The con-
cluding portion was a most ingenious device of the
triumph of Britannia, amidst the water-spouts of dol-
phins and old father Neptune, and accompanied by a
beautiful discharge of fireworks of every varied descrip-
tion. Upon the whole, we were never more amused at
these Gardens, and we sincerely wish that the proprietors
will be rewarded for their public spirit, with—fine weather
and crowded audiences. We cannot close our summary
without mentioning our old friend Mr. Siatiesost, who,
we were happy to perceive, was as obliging and as inde-
fatigable in his endeavours to please as ever.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.
