TER MISSISSIPPI.
A gigantic moving panorama of this celebrated
river, moat elates distils» views of the human habitations,
Oda, rapids, and of the most milling portions of its scenery,
has just been opened to public view, in the Grand American
Ball, formerly • favourite place of resort, under the name of
Miss Linwood' s Gallery.
The scale upon which this panorama is painted and eon-
&acted is in the ratio of 4,000 mile, or eouatry to 4 mi'es of
mans, or 16 inches of penoramie delineation to 1 site of
natural main ; but as then era vest portions of country
which are not worthy of being pictured, dos Pear= of
lashes to miles most be muck water than w appear
from the raiment esstabeed ia the handbills end &scrip
time. The panorama is soestroeted upon the principle of
Stanfleld's celebrated dioramas. which used formerly to nu-
»tate so great as attraction at Drury-hues Tent». Kelm

banks of the rim is prwnted is encessidon within

grass of these settlements, and sometimes icdulging In hu-
morous and characteristic &ludo» to the mere remarkable
circumstances which have characterised their foundation or
distinguished their founders and inhabitants from their

seriptiiin of Ibis beantital work of art, for such it merits to
be styled, enebles the spectator to follow without any diffi-
culty the rapid journey be has undertaken, and to enjoy the
'thematic)» asuman life aid of nature's solitude that ars is
quick saccession presented to his view.
It is well eibeareed by the writer of the description, that
"iu poemlatidg America, Enplsr.d was insensibly preparing
a field for that vastness of design which characterises the
country. At home her limit. permit her only to prepare

and impended otith a whole world- LI. an audience, and the
lamas race is then ambled to appreciate the greatness of
its own endowments. The little island of Great Britain may
b compared tone fly-wheel or the motive power of a piece
of gigantic machinery: her own works are small, and their
movements almost imperceptible ; whilst those she pats into
activity and operation Ste OD nage, sad of a leverage so
powerful, that the entire frame of civilisation »clothe effect."
• sentiment of pride and of estistationinseneibly pervades
the mind is reflecting upon the results which English enter-
prise has achieved in peopling the vast regions of the Missis-
sippi and its tributary streams, and in drawing from their
Desks the means of auuialaing tie millions who now depend
exclusively upon thereat staple of Lancashire.
Of the panorama it is only necessary to my, in exElanation
a its mechanism, that it is divided into three sections, com-
mencing at the Nib of Sr-Anthony, and proceeding through
the Dip Prairie. the Prairies of the Illinois Country (cele-
brated by Dr. Birkbeck), Naavoo, the Mormon settlement
of Joe Smith, past the mouth of the Missouri river, and
themes to Sr. Louis, the Rocky Bluffs, and ending at Cape
°Sande». The scenery is rich, varied, and admirably
»preseated by the artist, and it may serve as a guide to the
male upon which some portions of it are topmast», to
Mate that the view of Rusk Island displays • steamer on the
rim, the nal Work of whisk is 300 feet, whilst the space it
occupies on the canvas is no leas than 16 feet—being in the
ratio of 1 foot in 19. The second section nehmen the cotton
region, from the month of the Ohio to Nudes ; and the
third seetion, beginaiag at Nachos and ending at Belize, on
the Gulf of Mexico, embraces the sugar-growing country.
Nearly all of the scenery is la the highest degree interesting,
sad many of the tableau:exhibit a very high degree of artistic
shill ; such, indeed, m has seldom been witnessed in produc-
tion of this stature.
The whole of the panorama requires about two ham for
its development. There is an accompaniment of magic,
which resembles an exaggerated lastly tardy in tone and
effect, and which appeared to be productive raiser of annoy-
ance than pleasure to those who were obliged to list-n to it.
But with the exception of this easily remedied drawback,
the exhibition gave unqualified satisfaction, and will no doubt
be productive of fame and money to Professor Ridley and
Mr. J. M. Smith, its projectors and proprieUrs.
