ROYAL VAUXHALL. GARDENS.

The anniversary of the birth-day of his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Ctraeres was celebrated at these delightful
Gardens last night with unexampled splendour. The fineness of
the evening. added to the numberless attractions of this scene of
fairy land, could not fail in drawing a numerous and elegant com-
pany. Our limits will not permit us to enumerate all the •aried
species of entertaimnant. which the spirited proprietors had pro-
vided for the amusement of their visitor+ ; but we must say they
were so arranged as to suit all tastes ; there was the Pantomime
sad the Fantoccini for the juveniles; there was an Opera or Vau-
deville for those who p►eferred a comfortable seat wider cover to
standing in the open air ; in short, them was nothing left undone
which could in any way tend to gratify the taste of the most fasti-
dious. The different walks were more brilliantly illuminated titan
ever. Some ships. formed of variegated lamps, had a novel as
well as pleasing effect. The •arious beautiful cosmoramas had
each their group of admirers—it was wire great difficulty we could
get a peep at some of them—so much the better for the managers.
we were glad to see it ; and we sincerely hope that the remainder
cif the season may yet repay them for the losses they must have
sustained during the late Incessant wet weather. The words in

ante. The fire-works, as usual. went uff with •ery great effect,
and were particularly grand : altogether it was as splendid a fete
as was ever given in these Gardens.
