VA UXHALL.

This old and favourite place of resort of the
taries of pleasure was thrown open last night, ::i:,l
attracted a company as numerous and as briiiialit
any. perhaps that ever thronged the gay scene.
In the musical department the usual peifornie:s
are retained, and TAYLOR, COLLYER, &C. gave sr,,ne
of their best songs in their best style. Mr:. BLANn
was unfortunately absent, from illness. But her ir,F;
was compensated for by the appearance of a young
lady, Miss Gam:most. who sung here for the fi;,t
time. She has a rich voice, with considerable puwer
and flexibility. Her youth, and the difficulties f a
first appearance, were so many ties upon the
Of her abilities, but she nevertheless evinced tas:f..,
which, with study, and her fine natural end.,
merits, cannot fail of leading her to great ecnicen.ce
in her profession.
The following are amongst the principal altcz.:-
dons and improvements in the Gardens:
The lleptaplasiesoptron *Or fancy reflective Proscenium,
ornamental draperies, lined entirely with looking-glass, exhil)iti:::

works concluded the entertainments, and ss ere ex-
tremely splendid. The astonishing ascent, which Ma-
dame Santa used to perform, was gone through by
M. LONGURhIARE, with surprising agility and grace.
The Proprietors have been particularly anxious tl
offer to the frequenters of the Gardens every pos.:ibie
comfort and convenience; new cloak rooms have
been erected, and most respectable females appointed
for attendance upon the ladies ; and, on the whe:e,
we never remember these Gardens to have cv::-.ed
under-such highly promising prospects.
