:GRAND PANORAMA 0i,11413.-I;t.--:liamilton's grand moving
panorama of India, now exhibiting in the Ball-room, Royal
Hotel, Plymouth, has received that amount of public
patronage which, as a rule, is generally bestowed on any-
thing that IMs.great merits to menninumfi it Th„,—..L.—

nent of the paintings as works of art is exceedingly good,
whilst the detail is elaborate, and evidently 'depicted with
a regard to accuracy which is not often to be found in
artistic repiesentations of this•kind. this by far the best
panorama that has been shown, and one to which the.
recent rebellion in our Indian Empire, not yet entirely
extinguished, has given an all important interest. Among
.he varied scenes, those connected with the • mutiny form a
very conspicuous part, tracing up the events from the first
breaking out of the rebellion, at Meerut, where. Colonel
Fillis was shot, to the important victories won over the
rebels, by the courage of the British troops. The paintings
comprise some of the most beautiful scenery of that much
favoured land; of Hindostan, its gorgeous temples, its
elaborate and magnificent palaces and cities, a land in

ue placed almost in rivalry,

The evacuations at Wroxeter are being still prosecuted
with great care and diligence, and the remains of the ancient

Roman period in Britain.
A music publisher in Paris, is said to have proposed to
purchase from Rossini the manuscript of his last production,
Joanna d' Area. -The payment offered was one franc far
every, note in" the score—a rate of remuneration which in
the aggregate would have amounted to an enormously high
cu n. The composer, however, declined the offer.
The Royal Pavilion Gardens, North Woolwich, commence
their summer campaign this day (Monday), for which a
very strong company is engaged. A ballet troupe has

Dr. Croly, a respectable name in literature, and.the rector
of the finest church in. London—Wren's masterpiece—has
put in print, within the last few days, this not-to-be-
forgotten sentence—" Who wi'.l ever erect a monament in
anything so temporary as a church again ?" Will-makers,

The gentleman calling himself "the Reviewing Editor of
the World" may be "a man of letters" (of application to
authors of their books to review), but he is scarcely a lettered
man or a member of the "educated classes" tese a note of his
to the Atkeneeton —"Mr. Cooper's letter is satisfactory of my
right to having called myself 'the Reviewing Editor of the
World;' but there is one point not touched upon therein, of
which, in justice, I must request you to give space for my
explanation and denial." Shade of Lindley Murray, mayst
thou still rest in peace !
In literature (says the Town Talker) there is nothing to
tell but this all-important fact, that the Chancellor of her
Majesty's Exchequer —a name not unknown in literature—
has made, as all agree, a most sententious speech—fall of
point, full of playful argument, full of meaning and good
English. To the drift or tendency of the speech, its fallacy
or its truth, we have nothing to say, but it was unmistakeably
conspicuons for wit and well-weighed English. England
should be additionally proud of a man who writes so well
and speaks so well.

Mr: Woodin, of the Polygraphic Hall, London, has been
very successful in the Trades' Hall, Glasgow, where his
Olio of Oddities" has been witnessed by large numbers,
who have regarded him, to quote the local journals, as " a
walking polyglot as well as a talking Pritens." The hall,
they further state, has been found too small to admit the
multitudes anxious for places ; adding, " it requires some
taste and some ability to appreciate the odds and ends of
humanity so delicately and nicely brought out. Every
character has been a close study to the. personator. Every
jry look, every tone of voice, have all been
served and completely imitated."l To the truth
