VAUXHALL GA RD E NS.--This attractive
place of summer resort was last night filled with company.
A new vaudeville, entitled A Day up the River, was
brought out, in which Messrs. Cook-a; WEErrs, G.
SMITH, and WILLIAMS, performed, -and which was re-
ceived with much. applause. The night's amusements
terminated, as usual, with fire-works.
COBURG THEATRE.7--A new. piece, under
the catching title of: Vidocq, the French Thief-taker,
was produced 'last night at this Theatre. It is very
amusing,•and full of incidents, which are strung together
with more dramatic effect than we thought the pleasing
volumes from which the piece is takeß,, were capable of
affording. Mr. H. WILLIAMS personated the Thief-
taker,--and went through his part with infinite spirit and
Vivacity. The house, as usual, was crowded, and the
drama well received.

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.—The Duke
Of WELLINGTON, the Marquis of WORCESTER, the Earl
of JERSEY, and about seventy other distinguished indivi-
duals, honoured this Theatre with their presence last night.
The Duke was soon recognised, though his visit was un-
expected,- and received, as such a man should be, with
shouts of acclamation by the audience. The play was the
Battle of Waterloo, and the Duke seemed much pleased
with the Duke's achievements on the stage. His magna-
nimity too was unbounded, for he clapped Napoleon re-
peatedly. The audience, however, seemed to think the
stage Duke by fir the most likely Duke of the two, be
made so much mere noise, and looked so fierce. He
seemed, in fact, as if he could not merely have killed, but
absolutely eaten the French, horses and all.
Lieutenant-Colonel MONGE, of the grena-
diers of the French Guard under NAPOLEON, who followed
the_Emperor to Elba in 1814, died lately at Paris in the
hospital of St. Louis, after a long illness and a state of
blindness. This officer, being of a very enterprising
character, was employed by Narontow, after his return
from Elba, on a most difficult and perilous mission. It
was, to make his way in the greatest secrecy to Vienna,
to carry off MARIA LOUISA and her son and bring them to
France. The letter which was to serve as his credentials
Ind procure his recognition contained merely the following
words—" Place every confidence in this brave man. He
has all.mine. Give yourself up to hiat and follow him.
N." Moues spoke German. He set off for Vienna,
where by the help of disguises he succeeded in arriving,
afterlueurring numerous dangers. He had to pass through
-many corps of the Allies and Austrians, the vigilance of
which was not easily eluded, to say nothing of the diffi-
culty he experienced in preserving the order which was
to be proof of his mission. He was at last on the point
of executing his arduous task, when the Austrian police
obtained some information of the scheme, and he was
obliged to fly.. He escaped the pursuit, and got back to
France slim* before the battle of Waterloo, in which he
fought gallantly. - Since the restoration he never was
employed, and being totally destitute of resources, he was
- reduced to a state of great distress, and worked as a com-
mon labourer. He was only 50 years of age when he
died.—Paris. Paper.
'Mr. THOMAS .UNDERWOOD, of- the firm of
T. and
.G. UsnsawooO, booksellers, in Fleet-street, who
died last Wednesday of a pulmonary consumption, ought
not to be consigned to his grave, without one parting word
to his memory,- by an old friend: He was a man of the
soundest and purest integrity in all his dealings; his word
was his bond, neither of which was he ever known to
violate. He first entered the London world under Mr.

JOHN MURRAY, afterwards kept a bookseller's shop near
St. Bartholomew's Hospital Gate, in West Smithfield ;
and when Mr. MURRAY removed to his houSe in Albe-
marle-street, THOMAS UNDERWOOD, in partnership with
his brother GEORGE, the present very respectable survivor
becartielis successors, and by their extreme assiduity and
attention, greatly extended the business, especially in the
medical department. From this shop emanated Paris on
Diet, and his Pharmacologia ; ARNar on Physics ;
FiiRBES on the Diseases of the Chest ; GRAY'S Supple-
ment-to the Pharmacopoeia, and his Elements of Phar-
macy; BRAND'S Manual of Pharmacy; THOMPSON'S Con-
spectus, and his edition of Dr. Cermeres Works; PHILIP
