FINE ARTS.
DIORAMA OF MR OVERLAND ROUTE TO
INDIA.
There was yesterday aLrded a partial glimpse of
this rxhibithe, which will prove one of the greatest
Easter holiday attractions, and when opened, on
Monday next, will afford the public an opportunity
oaghorn. rivalling the proverbial übiquity of the late Lieut.
This overland journey affords, of course, many sea
view', amongst which we may mention those of the
Isle of Wight, the Needles, the Bey of Bi•cay, the
Rock of Cintra, Capra St.Vinoent and Trafalgar, and
Tarifa.

The next are Gibreltar atd Malta; whilst the first
is seen from the see, the other, on the contrary, is seen
from a oommar ding point, with the Mediterranean for
horizon. Nothing can be mere striking than these two
pictures, particularly that of Malta and its quarantine
harbour, with the picturesque freight of all nations,
and the houses crowding to the ramparts. Thence to
Alexandria up to Grand Giro and its cemetery, a
starting point to the Desert, which, considering the
dryness of the materials, furnishes some beset iful scene,.
The somewhat hackneyed incident of the " dying camel'
is introduced, but this is only the straggler who has'
'fallen from the ranks. The long winding caravan is
seen wending its way far as the eye can reach in the
hazy distance in which the faint summits of distant
pyramids may be contemplated. The beetling groups
of a mid-station in the Desert afford relief to the eye.
Occupying the centre is a portly Indian gentlemen
returning from furlough ; cadets and water-
oags lie in pleasing confusion. We have
hitherto chiefly dwelt on the scenery, which
is, it teems, from the brushes cf Messrs. T.
Grieve and Telbia ; in admirable unison with
these are the large and life-like human figures
of Mr. Absolon and the horses of Mr. Herring, whose
power of hand has risen with their more ambitious
task. We need only instance the " Arab horsemen
in the Pasha's service," and the "Bedouin Encamp-
ment." The borses of the one are draun with the
skill end delicacy only equal to the fire-light effect of
the other. This may seem too much of a panegyric ;
but it is not too mach to say that there is but one
idea of pain which this panorama engenders in the
feelings—it is that the reality may fall short of the
representation, with the exception, however, of the
views of Ceylon and C.lcntta. The last se pecially,
might for all intents and purposes be the Woolwich
parade on a sultry summer's day.

sent time two new churches in the course of erection in
I)evonport one in the eccleciatical district of St. Jame., a
district outside the military lints of the town, and which in-
cludes the populous neighbcurhood of Morice-town, and the

within the walls of the town, and of which the Rtv. P. C.
Childs, whose labours is eonnelion with emiaratlon are well
known, is to be the incumbent. It is intended in the coarse

within the town, in the district of St Btep'aen. The prin-
cipal part of the funds for the building ef these churches

take the chair. He denounced the proposed conversion es
an iniquity, and announced his determination to option it if
necessary, even should he 'tend alone, in the Hone of

ALGERIA.

The MM:leur Algerie n. of the sth, contains an ac-
count of the military operations of Colonel de Lour-
mel between Setif and Buis. After possessing him-
self of the villages of the Beni-Merails and the
Amoucha, he proceeded to Kerra!as, to destroy a
band of &pre& ore. On his way he was at-
tacked in the mountains by the Beni-M:raile, rein-
forced by the tribes of Babor, but he caused them
to be attacked with the bayonet, and :hey Bei
to the rocks of Tizi-bon-Zerzon, which had always
been considered impregnable. After completely
deetroying the village, and growing crops of
Kerratas, the colonei captured I'm-bon-Zenon. This
caused such • profound impression on the Kabyles,
that the tribes of the lljermouna and the Amoncha
made their submiasion, and even that of the Oulid
11117 TIM which was at a great distance, mint to de-
mand the anion. The colonel next completely re-
. lined the diet: let of the Bini-Mera:la, in order to
' leave a lasing trace o' French severity. The French
' had two nrm killed and 10 wounded in these engage-
, ments ; the Kabyles 30 killed and 80 wounded. Gen.

GERMANY.

ATTEMPT UPON THE LIFE OF
THE KING OF PRUSSIA.

A telegraphic despatch from our Berlin corre-
spondent, under date May 22, rates that on that day
an attempt was made upon the life of his Majesty
the King of Prussia, who was departing for Potsdam.
A sergeant of artillery fired a pistol at his Ma-
jesty, and inflicted a flesh wound in the arm. The
man was immediately seized. His name is Seteloge.
The Kisg at once returned to L'harlottenburg, and
received the congratulations of his family, the minis-
ters, and the diplomatic corps, on his seam
BBRLIN, MAT 21.
---.nce of the promisid protocol of the

proceedings of the late royil congrese excites con-
tinned uneasiness, and many persons do not hesitate
to affirm that its appearance is delayed that it may
andergo the proper degree of " cooking" to suit the
present taste of the public. Small as is the interest
displayed by the inhabitants generally towards the
German question, there are nevertheless many signs
abroad that the attempt of Austria to re-establish the
old Band will not be tamely suffered. The Cham-
bers of Bavaria, of Wirtemberg, of Hesse
Cassel, and Hesse Darmstadt have already
distinctly proved that there is • large party
in each much dissatisfied with the resoluton of the
princes to depute to the Congress at Frankfort. Their
dissatisfaction, if previously not well-founded, must
now be considered as prophetic, for, notwithstanding
the many denials which have been spoken and pub-
lished, advioss from Frankfort inform the public that
on the 17th inst. the congress at Frankfort had con-
initiated itself the Plenar Versammluag of thescon-
federation, and had passed a resolution imposing a
term within which the othkr states of Germany were
required to appear, otherwise the resolutions of the
Congress would be considered binding on them all.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

The journals last received from this colony are of
great importance and interest. They indicate a de-
cided advance on the part of the colonists in the
sense of their own power—the necessary consequence
of their triumph over Earl Grey in the convict con-
troversy. They indicate at the same time a truly
British feeling—a cordial desire to draw closer and
perpetuate the relations between the colony and
mother country. Lastly, they show that the question
—under what constitution the colony is henceforth
to be :governed is about to be grappled with in a
practical spirit.
In the Cape Town Mail of the 18th of March, is a
very full report of a grand dinner of the members of
the Anti-Convict Association. The proceedings were
in the finest spirit. The speeches were eloqu. nt, judi-
cious, full of an ardent, yet sober, feeling of freedom.
The toasts were Mr. Trenrbario, the distinguished
leader of the anti-convict movement ; Mr. Letterstedt,
the independent barrister, who had asserted the
rights; of the association when] insidiously as-
saulted by legal.chiothe ; Mr. :Adderley, their parlia-
mentary champion; the Colonial, the British, and
the French newspaper pram; the governor ; the Lou.l
don merchants connected with the Cape, die. &c. All
was harmony, all was genuine English feeling.
Toe journals are busily dimming the constitution
I question. They are unanimous in their desire fee a
liberal constitution. Trio only possible dissention
that Gan arise in local opinion on this subject will re-
late to the connexion between the eastern and western
districts. The Grehaus's Town Journal protests
agairst a government for both locally resident in
Cape Town. The Cope lbws Mail admits that as
Port Phillip has been separated from New South
Wales, so mast the ess'ern districts of the Cape co-
kmy be ultimately separated from the western dis-
tricts, and recommends a federal government foe
South Africa. The question is important, and as Boos
as the pressure of parliament on our columns admits
we will recur to it.

HER MAJESTY'S THHATEIL

the flies time this sawn. The part of Beim was
sustained by Madame Frezzahni in a manner worthy
of bar reputation as an seeress and a maser. Her
reps....W*om of the chamois, was mashed with
formulae delicacy and minims, and her scene et
melancholy madness in the third act was truthful
sad pathetic. Her singing. es the whole, was boar
lifal—thasgb. on one or two occasions. iparticularly
in the air,." Ban virgin vessoman she kasarded some

Between the acts el the opera, Carlotta Oriel danced
the a Trnandaise," ist the ballet of " Esratimlda." with
inimitable grace and expression. and was most rapt'.
rously applauded.
Donna Mafia Martinez, the negro lady of whom ro
much has been said foe this week or two past,
made her appearance after the opera ins sort of thus-
tiesement got up expresely for her. A Turkish Sultan
is in his Mum, surrounded try his favourites, who
an entertaining him with sports and dances. A veiled
stranger is introduced by the attendants ; who, ber
veil being removed, appears to be a black female,
richly attired. She is seated on an ottoman in front
of the stage, and, a guitar being handed to her, po-
oled@ to sing national ballads, which are intermixed
with dances. At length the Sultan rises pays her
the homage of admiration, delivers her the handker-
chief while the ex.favoarite expunge jealous
and the curtain falls. All this, to sa the
of it, is in bad taste, and there is nothing to re-
deem it in the lady's performance. The ballads
had nothing of the romantic grace and beauty of the
Spanish national music. They were of a low class,
akin to the negro songs of the Ethiopian mrenaden,
sad by no means superior to them in quality. Tinly
had little or no sneaked melody, but were light and
quick, intermingled with spoken phrases and abrupt
exclamations, sometimes harsh and uncouth. Their
effect was quaint and curious, and they were proba-
bly full of character; but, regarded as music, they
must rank very low. The lady singe neatly and
fluently, and accompanies cleverly on the guitar in
the Spanish fashion, producing ninth more bound by
beating the instrument than by playing upon it. She
wee loudly applauded; but the applause was far
from general, and evidently of a questionable charac-
ter. If we are not much mistaken, the prevalent feel-
ing was that the entertainment, clever enough in its
way, was oat of place in Her Majesty's Theatre.

To those present who could cast their mind beck upon

since in this very ball were congregated on many en occasion
the chiefs of the agricultural interest in the land—when l'S

A few minutes before 11 the ceremonial of election took
place. Arriving at the Town Hall, the usual formularies
were gone through, and then Sir Robert Peel was put in

Sir Chides Clarke had prop:ted a vote of thanks to the
