Last night the anniversary of his Majesty's birth-day teas
celebrated at these Gardens with • Fete, which, in point of
variety and magnificenee, far exceeded any 'tl;at has been
given during the present season. The weather was ;leen-
hotly General& for the interesting display, and at an early
hoar the different approaches to the Gardens were crowded
with respectable company pressing for admission.. Apten
o'clock the number assembled could not have been less they
ten thousand pers•ons, many of whom appeared of a supeiior
order. Among the distinguished strangers present, was
observed the German Prince of Lippe, Mr. Henry Hunt
also exhibited himself in the train of fashion, with two la
dies, each of whom was attired quite in the Parisian mode.
The trees and the various structeres appropriated to the
purpose displayed en immense profusion of extra lamps, all
tastefully disposed and lighted lit variegated splendour. Oa
the south side of thebrehestra, the words " Long Life to
our Patron, the King," were exhibited in vivid lamps, and
in the Rotunda was seen a bust of his Majesty, surrounded
with laurel wreaths, encircling the Royal Arms and tuot.o.
Theother devices and decorations were splendid and appro-
priate; but a Musical Temple, the sante structure which
under the name of Panathenm has been for a long time ex-
hibited in Spring Gardens, was particularly admirril. The
fireworks passed off with all their wonted eclat; and it may
fairly be said, that the gay, animated Vauxhall was never
seen to more advantage than last night.
