Vauxhall-Gardens.
Last night these gardensopenMqor theseason with more than the usual attractions, or at least many of the old ones so varied and im- proved as to have the air and effect of novelty. The illumination7 were upon a very extensive scale, and so arnanged as to produce un- common biilliancy of effect. Where Mount Vesnviws was last sea- son, ive haVe now the Cave of Fi?nzl: the Stcufia sea-view is very good, and the scenery in general throughodt the artist's departmeat of the gardens very creditable. The Chinese ballet is capitally got np - the French mechanical theatre is attractive; and the coanoo- canos (tseveral of vwhich are new) are as good as usual. The fire. works are very magnificent; and a Mr. Blackmore, who is desig- nated as the sztaprisi74g yczste,~ AsIn z, made his ascent on the ope to a triaumphal arch at e top of the Aloorish tower with great intrepidity, in the midst of vollies of rockets, flames of blue lights, and the doube din of freworks and cheers. The vocal and instru- mental performers are numerous and well relectede: Miss Tunstall, 31iss Witham, and Aliss larnmersley, are the ladies; MUr. Pyne, Atr. Gjoulden, BIr. Nelson, Mlaster Longhurst, and Mr. Alallinson are the other principal singers. Some of the songs were encored, and the glec of *' Here's a raUath to aolgood lasses" was very well received. The gardens were well attended, notwitlstanding the lowering appeararnce of the atcosphere late in the evening, and th.e ,hole of the arrangementS upon a scale which entitles the proprie- tors to the patronage of the public. IUany of the walks and the sa- loon are enlarged; new-gaUeries have been constructed near the theatre andfireworks; andashell-roof,rather toolow for the orchestra and fat the mechanical action of a sounding part, has been placed over theorchestra ; but this defect (if such the musical folks find it to be) is so susceptible of remedy, that it is hardly vworth remark. Vauxhall-gardens furnish an old, and in many respects, unique source of amusement; every body is accustomed to know and to en- joy the lounge, and itis hardly necessary tossaymore than that every thing is done by the proprietors to maintain the reputation of this long-estabslished place of pnblic resost._ VA UXHALL-CARDB1S.
