I'AUXUALL GARDENS.

The season at Vauxhall Gardens commented last
night. The unpropitious appearance of the evening,
no doubt, operated to prevent that numerous atten-
d+nce which, in general, hails the opening of this de-
li~htf :1 hitinge. Notwithstanding this en-
favowahle circumstance, the Gardens were well
filled, and several persons of rank And fashion ming-
led in throi:g.

The improvements for the season have been ar-
ranged with great taste ; and in the orchestra we no.
ticed our old tavonriter Mrs. BLAND. and Messrs. C.
And W. TA-, Loa, Mrs. CHILD, and Miss Tuarixa are
also engaged, and acquitted themselves with consi-
derable eclat. Mr. ConaN, who raide his first ap.
pearance, .sang with good effect—his voice is lull
and melodious, anal his style of singing plain and un-
affected. Toe orchestra was, as usual, well filled,
and the musical de:iartment displayed the same taste
and skill which we have so often had m notice in the
arrangements of tnii est abliz,liment. Madame Sa.tut
made her appearance on the tight rope soon after ten
o'clock, and was received, as she deserved, with that
enthusiastic approbation to which her former perfor-
mance so particularly entitled her. She seems t 3
have. improved in cractice since last season. Her
ascent, at hall past twelve o'clock, amid the blaze of
tire-works, was ma only grand but sublime in its
effects. We telt much gratification at seeing that
delighoful and unique place of amusement prepared
for the season with so much taste, abet certainly on a
scale of expense that can be only supported by the
p won age which the public invariably confers on this
establishment. In diff.rent parts of Europe, esta-
blishments of the same character have been formed,
but in their management and execution, they have
all shrunk from any thing like a competition with
these gardens, which have tvcr bten ni:iirititineo on
a scale of splendour and expense that suited the cha-
racter and station of this great Empire. We are
glad to pay this deserved tribute to an old and most
meritorious establishment.
