VAUXHALL-GARDENS.—Tine grounds of this esta-
blishment were yesterday thrown open to the supporters of
the benevolent institution known as the Licensed Victuallers'
Asylum. The attendance of company was more than
usually numerous; there could not have been less than five
thousand persons assembled by nina o'clock, and a crowd
was then at the doors of the gardens struggling for admis-
sion. The arrangements were, however, so good, that ac'
commodation was found for all, and everybody had an op'
portunity of seeing and enjoying all 'hat took place. The
usual entertainments of the evening attracted the attention
of the visitors, and the extraordinary feats of Mdlle. P•
Cuzent and Madame Lejars in the equestrian circle, with
the display of talent by other artistes, drew forth the
loud and hearty applause of the spectators The appearance
of this very old and very favourite place of recreation
is, under the present proprietary, better than it has been
for many years. The whole has an appearance of fresh-
ness and good taste; little is left for the public to wish for
or require.

This venerable gentleman died on the 28d ultimo, at Sid'
mouth, county of Devon, aged 80. The deceased was Fellow
of the Royal College of Physicians, and was for many years
phpsician extraordinary to Queen Charlotte. He was also
for a lengthened period a practitioner at Bath. The de
ceased was educated at the University of Oxford, and was a

DEATH OF THE REV. A. W. STREET, OF BISHOP'S
COLLEGE, CALCUTTA.—The Society for the Propagation of
the Gospel in Foreign Parts has received the afflicting in-
telligence of the death of their valued missionary, the Rev.
Alfred Willis Street, ILA., senior professor of Bishop's Col-
lege, Calcutta, at the age of 42, after twelve years of un-
interrupted labours in Bengal. Most truly may it be said,
that he died in his Master's service. Hearing that a mission
station (Geonkali) was left without a minister on Paint
Sunday, he went to supply the vacancy, though in weak
health, slept two nights on the Ganges, and returned to
Bishop's College to sicken and die. Hei expired on the
evening of April 29, and was buried by the Bishop on Wed-
nesday, the 30th.

[ A DVERTISEMENT].—THE GREAT EXHIBITION:""
A valuable, newly-invented, very small powerful waistcoat
pocket glass, only the size of a walnut, to discern minute ob-
jects at a distance of from four to five miles, which is found to
be invaluable at the Exhibition, and to Sportsmen, Gentlemen,
and Gamekeepers. To be had at 39, Albemarle.street,

glasses with wonderful powers—a small object can be clearly
seen from ten to twelve miles distant. Telescopes-.a new and
most important invention in Telescopes, possessing such extra-
ordinary powers, that some, 3i inches, with an extra eye piece,
will show distinctly, Jupiter's Moons, Saturn's Ring, and the
Double Stars. They supersede every other kind, and are of
all sizes, for the waistcoat pocket, shooting, military, and sea
purposes. Messrs. S. and B. SoLostoris, Opticians, have
invented invaluable preserving Spectacle Lenses Immediately

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ST. PANCEAS._A fire broke
out on Saturday night in the premises belonging to Mr.
George Hardy, oil, colour, and Italian warehou,eman, at No.
28, Aidenhain-terrace' 011 St. Pancras road. It was nearly
four hours before the firemen succeeded in extinguishing
the flames, and not before they had
penetrated every floor
in the premises, and done an immense amount of mischief.
The whole of the furniture and stock in trade are nearly
consumed. A watchmaker and jeweller named Shaw also
occupied a portion of the premises, and it is to be regretted
that he has likewise lost his furniture and stock in trade
by the disastrous event. Unfortunately neither sufferer
was insured.

THE PEEL STATUE IN THE CI-Tr.—Yesterday tie
committee assembled at the Mansion-house, for the purpose
of selecting one' from the number of sculptors who sent in
modals for a statue to be erected in the City in memory of
the late Sir Robert Peel, Bart., and deciding upon a site.
Sir Peter Laurie in the chair. There were present the fol-
Rlo4wwiBnogn.gilentrt.lemen : Sir J. W. Hogg, Bart., Sir Moses Mon-
She tetiore, Bart , Baron Goldsmid, Mr. John Dillon, Captain
pherd, dr. Bennoch, Mr. T. Harkey, Mr. J. W. Pelly,
Mr. John Dixon, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Donald Nicol, Mr.
B. L. Jones, Mr. Gladstanes, Mr. Cohen, Sir
E. N. Buxton, Mr. Dallas, Mr. David Salornons, M.P. for
Greenwich ; Mr. B. L. Rothschild, Mr. Twining, Mr. C.
mitteAlderman Wire, and Sir J. F. Mc Lean. The com-
e proceeded soon after the chair was taken to ballot,
and the successful candidate was Mr. Behnes. After a
short discussion, upon the motion of Sir J. W. Hogg, the
site opposite to the Mansion-house and King William-street
and Princes-street was decided upon as the most eligible by
a large majority. It was subsequently stated that Mr.
Behnes had intimated that if his model should obtain the
preference it would certainly be his wish to fix the statue on
the spot in favour of which the committee had decided.
SHEEP IN THE PARKS.-4t would be well if SWIM
moderate restriction were placed upon the admission of flocks
of sheep to the greensward of the fashionable parks of the
metropolis. To the ladies especially the present negligent
system is fraught with very great inconvenience.
