PROGRESS OF THE ARTS.--Whose who need to be
convinced of the superiority of the manufactures of
British porcelain over that of our continental neighbours
will be well repaid for the trouble of a visit to Mr. Geo.
Smith, the manufacturer, of Conduit-street, where there
is exhibited a splendid service of porcelain, manufac-
tured by Mr. Smith, and destined for the use of a Russian
nobleman. We are at a loss whether to admire most the
perfect fabric and architecture (if we may use the term)
of the innumerable articles composing the set, or the
elegent pattern, in which the colours are so tastefully
blended. We consider this a chef d'ceuvre of art in this
particular branch of our manufactures, and we are sure
the curious in such matters will be highly gratified by
an inspection of this tasteful work of art previous to its
being shipped for its northern destination.

RONDOBRILLANTE, FOR THE PIANO-FORTE, BY J.
CoHAN.—Addison and Hodson.—This is another of Mr.
Cohan's original and brilliant compositions, in which the
peculiar force and sparkling effort of his own style, are
conspicuous, whilst the equality, exactness and classical
character of the school to which he belongs is main-
tained unbroken. Although this piece is by no means
of equal merit to his great work, " The Revolution of
Greece," yet it will maintain a position in the highest
rank of its class.

ERRATUM.—In an article in yesterday's paper on
" Mesmeric Absurdities," the word which should be in-
serted, before " a state of existence," in seventh line of
the second paragraph—and the words, "at Buckingham
Palace" after "company" in the seventh line of the
third paragraph.
VA.uxuALL GARDENS.—This once celebrated and
fashionable place of entertainment will open on Monday
evening in all its pristine splendour, recalling back those
festive nights which caused the "royal property" to
be celebrated throughout Europe. The amusements will
be equal to those presented in the palmy days when the
gardens were at their zenith. To meet the taste of the
public, an endless variety of entertainments will be pre-
sented, while the charge of admission will enable the
" million" to participate in those delightful recreations
which for years past has only been a matter of history.
The " note of preparation has been sounding night and
day during the past week, the several artistes having
been actively engaged in their various departments.
Among other popular favourites engaged are Ransford,
W. H. Williams, G. Robinson, Miss Agnes Taylor, Tom
Matthews (the celebrated clown, the Grimaldi of the
day), Eller (the harlequin) and a splendid corps de
ballet from her Majesty's Theatre, under the direction of
Mr. T. W. Beckett. The ballet of "La Vivandiere,"
and a pantomimic sketch, are, among other novelties,
announced. The musical arrangements, under the
direction of Mr. G. Robinson, who obtained such celebrity
for so many seasons, by singing that popular air, " My
pretty Jane," are most complete, and the famous brass
band of Mr. W. Blight is engaged. The illuminations
will be on an extraordinary scale of splendour ; and the
fireworks, by that unrivalled pyrotechnist, Darby, will
surpass any display ever witnessed even at Vauxhall.
