DIORAMA.

On Saturday we visited this establishment, and ha.l the gra-
tification of seeing two new pictures by Le Chevalier Bottum,
" The Basilica of St. Paul, near Rome," and " The Village
of Alagna." The Basilica of St. Paul, called "S. Pardo
fuori della Mura," receives Its name, in common with other
churches in Italy, from being formed out of Roman Basilirte
or flails of Justice ; the Tribune at the upper part of the build-
ing, formerly the-seat of the Judge, stilt retains its form, and
contains the altar. la 1:323 this structure was nearly destroyed
by fire, which raged with such fierceness and intensity that it
calcined the columns of Pavonazza and Parian marble, split
from top to bottom immense columns, the support of the tri-
bune, and shivered to pieces the columns of porphyry, the
hardest of all marbles. This interesting edifice is in the pic-
ture of Le Chevalier Boaton represented first at midnight, in
all its beauty, decorated with paintings and a profusion of or-
naments; and afterwards, ia the day time, unroofed, desolate,
and wretched. The same canvass, by the management and
colour, is made to produce this. The transition, however, is
unnatural, and the general arrangement unpicturesque. The
other picture, " The Villiage of Alagna," is by far the more
interesting of the two. The effect of the moonlight upon the
'snow contrasting with the glare of candle-light proceeding
from the window of a cottage in the foreground, and from
those in the distance, is very cleverly managed. The evening
is succeeded by night ; and a fearful storm rages—the sounds
of thunder and wind are introduced—the scene becomes dark-
ened by the violence of the tempest ; the morning breaks, and
gradually discloses the full beauty of the landscape, but the co_
Cages in the distance are no longer visible—an avalanche has
fallen from the neighbouring mountain durng the storm, and
buried the peaceful villages; the steeple only of the rustic church
remains in view, as a monument over the grave of the ill-fated
inhabitants. 'rho changes throughout are very skilfully ma-
naged, and the illusion perfect.
