UTILISING THE STEBEOSC'OPE.

In these days, when Englishmen cannot noes the
Channel without the trouble of procuring passports, end&
cane of respectability from police magistrate', to., on.
might almost say, " Why incur such unneremary trouble
when by our own firesides we can have the waders and
sights of lir-off countries so minutely and vividly brought

grapiie views published by Mesorn.Neesettiasil Umbra. The

Moisten barb it ; and =creedal indeed hes been their
drat attempt. Their artist, Mr. F. Frith, by dint damn long
journeys, end nth labour and expems, has succeeded in
presenting to the public a swim of " views in Egypt end
Nubia," metal and Interesting alike to the travelled and un-
travelled, the learned and the unlearned. Each Mose, each
line is so distinct that we an almost imagine ourselves wan-
dering with the artist through the " temples, polies', and
piles stupendous," which abound throughout Egypt end
Nubia, end gazing with delight at the lovely scenery
of the 'Aland of Phila. and the Upper Nile, regions at
no very remote period visited only by the wandering
Moen. It is impossible to speak too highly in praise of
theme views. The wonderful way in which the gigantic
MMus' and pillars stand out in relief in Nos. 307 and 308
(*Me of the great rock temple of Abou Gimbel), and No.
309 (partkat of the Greet Hall of Columns at Haraeo), and
the beautiful effect of the weer and shadows in No. 926
Travellers' Nile Boat), N,. 390 (Entrance to the Great
Temple at Luxor), and in No. 362 (the Approach to Kamm),
cannot tail to be admired and appreciated by all lovers of art.
We snoirely wish Mews. Nagretti and Zambr the moons

would be windy and gladly received by the British public.
In the MOISIAIMO they promise us, at an early data, a I
series of views in the Holy Land, extending from Jerusalem
to Mount Lamm, Damascus, end Bedlam ; and these are
to be followed by a second series, embracing the region from
Jimmie= to Mount Sinai and the city of POSTS. We may

The most important movements were the advance of

Zuyder .Zee was friendless. Maly Morn and Worcester re-
ceived some support.
Karl in the afternoon, 9tol to 501. was laid against
Clye for the Two Thousand; but afterwards 6 to 1
was the highest offer. At •to 1 layers would have been ao-
commodated. Toupbolite, who "came" last week at War-

stable compudon, The Peer. He wu also elevated to the
