EXHIBITIONS.

GALLny OP ILLOOTRATION.—Ws have already
elves a partiesdar mama of Messrs. Grieve sad Table's
admirable dioramas represenatioes of the priselpal seems
and events of the war is the Crises, and of Mr. Stoequeler's
nannies sad Warman Imam illustntive of those *-
tuna. Several additional views have been added; and the
Manna mad Meantime afford a aura and 0010 impres-
sive easeeptioe of the suet remarkable emerresess of the
war, from the battle of the Alma down to the latest as

sounts—including the battle of Inkermaso, the great storm
on the Black Sea, the " death.charge " of the light eavals7,
and the construction., the railway at Baleklava—than it is
possible to obtain from any other source whatever.
Min P. MORTON'S ILLUSTRATIVE GATHERINGS, AT
' Er. SARtts's.RALL.—Sim Roman's, or rather Mrs. Reed's,
representations of character are large, %natal, finished
performances. Mrs. Reed is a skilful, whols•lsugth portrait
painter—one who has the singular merit of delineating with
much point end no malice. The cbaracten which pleased
us molt last sight, and which we have most pleasure in re-
caning to mind, are the joyous, over hospitable country
dame, the naivenal benefactress, who meets with universal
iogratitude; the giggling, fiinloas fop; two characters
performed at once, being two aid women engaged is a very
animated soaversation, which, owieg to the strange misin-
terpretations made by Gas of them who is very deaf, is eon-
verted into a very angry parley. The austere lady training
her c►ild in she art of depoetaent ; the fantastic, listless
plane lady, who has ao taste or feeling for anything ; and
the disappointed Fnack eastatriee. All these very different
subjects Mrs Reed, with the aid of her husband, paints to
the life. We may remark that this lady's very clever arming
gives rise throughout to the illusion of reality. We are
not surprised at the publie favour which this entertainment
meets with. We 'Maid indeed be surprised if it were
otherwise.

WirLD's GLOBE AND MODEL OP SEBASTOPOL.—
This vory ieteresting and instructive place of amusement

was throughout the entire day attended by large numbers of ,
holiday Eaters, who listened with well-rewarded attention
to the explanations of the different lecturers. The model
of Sebastopol, of course, excited much interest
LOVE'S ENTERTAINMENTS prove u attractive ea
cur, and the interior of the Upper Hall, Regent Gallery,
prem. nted last evening a fuller " house," if possible, than
when we visited It at Christmas. The entertainments eons- 4
minced with the polyphonic 'ketch called the London
&awn, and concluded with the vocal entertainment of
Mins Host's Dalatataas at ilea Nag's Head on as Heath.
Mr. Love introduced both entertainments for the first time
during the present season oa last " Boxing-night," and
although three mouths have sines elapsed, they ars now
quite as successful as at first, and the polyphonic volubility
displayed in them by Mr. Love still elicits the laughter and
applause of a numerous audience.
MADAME TUSSAUD.S.—Thia exhibition well visited
yeeterday by a considerable number of ponces, sad seems
to maintain its putties us a holiday resort. Every you
develops ems judicious improvement, and the figures are
not allowed to assume a seedy aspect. William Cobbett
looked as fresh in his attire yesterday as on the first day
whoa he so placidly took his sest, and none of the nota-
bilities, if they minute.' to look at 'beauty's, could com-
plain of not being respectably dressed. A good addition
was made yesterday in the persons of the young Emperor
and Empress of Austria, the latter of whom is seated on
a chair, while her juvenile consort bends over her in an
attitude of food admiration. Lord Raglan, Marshal Et
Arnaud, end Omer Puha have been in the exhibition foe
' some time, and even Lieutenant Perry has not been dinned
unworthy of a standing place. In fact, what the Pantheon
was to the deities of the Raman empire, Madame Tusand's
is to the present century—it is as impartial as in
hero-worship.

TIM TURKISH EXHIBITION, HYDE-PARR-CORNER.
—Judging noun the numhen who visited it yesterday, the
Turkish Exhibition is increasing in popularity. The nag.
sifleentiy attired wax models of the Sultan Mahmond and
his court assembled in fall divan, the Janissaries of old, and
the poor defaulting baker nailed by his ear to the doorpost,
the equally fine figure of the present Sultan Abdul lietijid,
the baths, the mid, sad the bum., the ladles is their
boudoir, in the harem, and in the arab*, each cams is foe
their share of wall-deserved admiration.
MAatONETTa THIIaTRE, LOWTHIR-ARCADIL—The
Easter entertainment here consists of a diorama illustrating

the events et the wee in the But, commencing with Varna,
and extending down to the hurricane of November. In the
programme it was announced that the descriptive leave,
delivered by Mr. Knight, of the Turkish Museum, would
be accompanied with vocal u well u instrumental music,
but only the former part of the pongee was fulfilled. The
pictures are thirty in number, :and comprise the whole

march of eventa connected with the Crimean expedition,
with the limit before mentioned. After a few introductory
remarks on the origin of the war, the scans opens with the

embarkation at VMrits, whence the spectator is rapidly con-
veyed with the allies to &Omits Bey and the Bold of
Alma. At the latter plea the attack on the heights is
rendered as terrific as possible, with the aid of
• rrtentona noise behind the scenes. Here a coloer-ser-
..

giant is seen defending the colours of his regiment against a
host of Russians. Here, too, is presented the golslssisd
incident of the recovery of the lost colours, and the des*
of the gallant rescuer. Here also a private, "Patrick
lirCarthy," goateed, successfully against two Russians.
Upon the whole, there is a want of form and cam about rho
Motor's exhibited here. The prejecton of entertainamts
of this kind would do well to remember that the publie
taste has been cultivated to a high degree by the excelleat
pictorial exhibitions which have illustrated almost every
subject of interest admitting of that species of elucidation.
TIM NATIONAL GALLERY, THE BRITISH INSTI-
TUTION, PALL-MALL, AND Tun SOCINTY OF BRITISI
ANTISTS, florrotx-sminr.—We were glad to see this
galleries of art well attended. The first, as usual, swarmed
with a my mixed company—the more mined the bettor.
Ail must Mist benefit from witnessing sash a display of
artistic genius. The better informed through the hiss
which as inspection of sack thoughtful works moat needs
suggest to Masted minds; the MO favoured portico of the
immunity by listening to the remarks whisk fall from
those who are better able to derive pleasure and bistrustim
form the rich mental feast which this gallery affords. It is
impossible not to reflect, w►ile gaziag at those winks, that
they are the productions of master minds, who have
pioneered the way to the present state of refinement and
eleilimation—pioneers, by the way, who worked with tools of
the finest temper. The two galleries of modern art,
although it cannot be said that they exhibit
tame of the highest order, are nevertheless well
worth a visit. " The Boarder Spear," by J. W. Mess,
and " An laterior," by A. Previa, in the British INMAN-
Hee, slime repay a visit. The former, a very oomplete
work, tall of character, has, we hear, been purchased by
Lord Carli►le. At the Society of British Artists, "Sun-
shine," by C. Baiter, a charming representation of a female
countenance, radiant with joy sad beaming with innocesco,
performs its handed office by exciting in the salad of the
spectator emotions of the most grateful kind; and Mr.
Hannon', in his " Neapolitan Fisher Boy," softies his
high reputatios. Holiday-makers, gifted with a tart* for
the arts, will not fail to derive both pismire and profit from
a visit to these galleries. We were glad to Inez that at
both institutions, a large number of the best pictures had
boss sold, the purchases at the British Institution amounting
to 104.
