PIeht.AIYII4D P.IAYHOIIB/B.—Two London places
of isevanamit, Es • saki a Titer iad sielmilaki
Which has long ceased to-bo a place of amusement, will be
numbered amongst the things of the past in the oourse of
a few weeks. The Colosseum in the Regent's-perk, once
one of the most popular " sights " in London, and the
one most constantly recommended to the attention of
"country cousins," is soon to be dismantled; and the
City of London Theatre at the other and of the town is
to be immediately transformed into a railway station.
The Colosseum was built in 1824 by Decitsus Burton
(the builder of most of the Georgian homiest
round the Regent's-park) for Mr. Horner, a land
surveyor, who made the sketches of the panorama of
London from the top of St. Paul's, afterwards finished
by Mr. E. T. Perlis and his assistants, on 48,000 square
feet of canyu. This panorama, with others of a similar
Biz* and character, was put up to auction last week, but
no one had the courage to buy such " white elephants."
The building and contents were once sold in 1843 for
23,000 guineas. The City of London theatre in Shore.
ditch was built about 1839 for Mrs. Honey, the actress,
and had the distinction before the erection of the Holborn
theatre of being the nearest playhouse to the City limits,
the corporation of London having never allowed a play-
house within those limits. Its chief claim to theatrical
notice lies in the fact that Mr. Maoready performed upon
its boards.

QrEENATOvrN, ArOreT 31.—The Inman royal
mail steamer City of Cork arrived here from Liverpool at
6.30 p.m. yesterday, embarked mails and passengers, and
proceeded for Halifax at 10 a.m. to-day. All well.
DA01711.431 inlay* Dora COMPANY.--(THIS
Day.)—The hal -yearly meeting of this company ap-
pointed for to-day was held at the London Tavern pro
forma for the purpose of adjournment. Mr. Charles
Capper, who presided, stated that negotiations of a very
important character were pending, with regard to which
it would not be prudent at the present moment to enter
into any discussion. Notwithstanding ell the exertions
the directors had made they had not been able yet to
thorn negotiations to a point, and he therefore pro-
that the meeting should be adjourned till Monday,
Oct. 26. The motion was seconded by Captain Bayley,
and carried, and the proceedings then terminated.
PRISCII ARTHUR'S VISIT TO 11IDDLIISBRO'.—
The following letter (says the Laredo Mangy) has been
received by Mr. Bolekow from the Queen:—" Pension
Wallis, Lucerne, August 17, 11168.—Sir,—The chews-
rtancesattending the reception of his Royallagthsees Prince
Arthur at the opening of the park at Middleibro'
have been reported to the thieen, and her Majesty has
learnt with great satisfaction how strong • feeling of
loyalty towards herself and the royal family was evinced
on the occasion. Prince Arthur expressed verbally the
gratification he derived from the loyal and enthimastie
greeting which was accorded to him; but the Queen is un-
willing to leave unnoticed the conspicuous share taken by
you in receiving and entertaining his royal highness, and
has commanded me to return to you her Majesty's thanks
for your magnificent hospitality.—l have the honour to be,
sir, your obedient, humble servant, T. M. Ilinntrram. H.
W. F. Bokkow Eaq."
TRISOLoUt ECLIPSE OF Al7ol7tiT 17.—The follow-
ing telegram, addressed to the President of the Royal
Society, has been received from Lieutenant I. Herschel,
R.E., to whom the Royal Society bed instructed the carry-
ing out of certain observations to be made during the
eclipse :—" Frequent clouds, one flame caught, the bright
lines seen. mono of ooaona None of corona P); polarisa-
tion solar.—Belgaum, August 20."
A contemporary says that there is not the
mealiest foundation for the report that the advent of go-
vernment to the control of the electric telegraphs will be
marked by the discharge of all the females now employed
in that department of labour.
It is usual for the persons who alter their name
to change it from an eccentric to one of more elegant
nature; but a gentleman has announced that in future be
will not be known by the name of Turner but by that of
Bravo.

Charles 3UNally, a Liverpool mechanic, has just
performed the feat of walking 200 miles in three days.
The scene of his exploit was the Liverpool and Preston
