LEEDS CORN DI All K. ET.—May 24.
We had but a moderate supply of Grain, and more firmness in
the trade than of late. The holders of Wheat being less anxious
to force sales, fine fresh Wheat fully supported last week's quo-
tations, and in some instances Is. per quarter more was obtained,
but all other descriptions were quite neglected. The malting
season being near the close, there was very little demand for
Barley, and the few sales effectml were on lower terms. In Oats
and Shelling there was no alteration. Beans met dull sale at ra-
ther lower prices.

Wheat were again taken on speculation ; the demand for both

THE COLOSSEUM, REGENT'S PARK.

They who have not seen the picture covering an
acre of canvass, have not seen London, though often
they may have peeped over it through winter fogs
and haze of summer, from Primrose-bill, or from the
general central observatory, St. Paul's itself. That
explorer of cathedral curiosities must be fortunate
indeed in the time of his visit who, after toiling up
six hundred steps to the upper gallery above the
dome of that building, finds himself in an atmos-
phere through which he can clearly distinguish no
more of the details of the vast scene below him,

than the bridges, the leading thoroughfares, and a
few of the largest building.. To gain distinct and
comprehensive views of every part of the prospect,
which, in favourable weather, that elevation may
command, it was necessary for the enterprising
founder of the Colosseum to watch • many an
anxious day, almost in peril of his life, suspended in
a box from the scaffolding erected for the repairing
of the cross. The Panorama (in the Colosseum),
painted from sketches made by that gentleman,
from his " watch-tower in the skies," is, we might

say, a strictly faithful portrait of London—so life-
like, that it would be mistaken for the original by
any one who had had the good fortune to see the
original so perfectly. It is the most complete and
accurate representation, perhaps, that has ever been
produced of any city. In that respect we know of
nothing that can be compared with it, except the
model of Paris, constructed under the direction of
Bonaparte. In the model, as in this Panorama,
every street and avenue, every public edifice, and al-
most every house in the city represented, may be
distinguished : but of whatever value the model
may be to the calculations of a public engineer, or of
a staticlan, in the gratification which it is capable of
affording to the general observer, or to the man of
taste, or even of curiosity, it is far surpassed by the
Panorama, which not only represents, but actually
looks like, the commercial capital of the world.
The model of Paris pretends to little more than to
combine the appearance of a laboriously wrought toy
with the utility of an architectural plat). The
Panorama exhibits London, not only in its true pro-
portions, but in its dimensions, its magnitude, ex-
tent, population, commerce, and locality ; it not
only presents to the spectator the city and its
suburbs, covering, with half a million of houses, a
space of nearly seven miles square, thickly studded
with churches and spires—its handsome squares—
the docks, warehouses, and theatres—the winding
Thames, adorned with six noble bridges, and
crowded with ships and vessels of every nation, and
of all dimensions—but it also lays before him a wide
range of the fertile and highly cultivated country
around the metropolis, comprehending, amongst
others, that district which (seen at a favourable
season) was considered by the Emperor Alexander
of Russia, to present the most enchanting prospect
he had ever beheld. But, more : the Panorama
gives you all this with with the light, warmth, and
verdure, of a summer scene, and under a clear sky
—thus placing you in circumstances in which the
original is rarely viewed, . and that, without your
clambering to a height of three hundred feet for the
enjoyment. It is difficult to conceive the pleasure
and surprise of visitors at the Colosseum, when,
without having climbed up a single step, and almost
without having been conscious of any ascending
motion, they walk from a little apartment, called
the Ascending Room, into one representing the
First Gallery above the Dome of St. Paul's, and
behold the immense prospect spread below them.—
The perspective, linear, and aerial, in this picture is
so perfect that a suspicion of the immense expanse
from Windsor Castle to Epping Forest not being
really opened before and around us, does not in-
trude upon the mind until our recollection is recalled
to the stillness of the apparently thronged streets
below, and we observe that boats, ships, smoking
steamers, and loaded vehicles, all are stationary.—
This observation is the only one that is forced upon
the spectator soas to diminish the illusion of thescene.
It would perhaps have been better if the talented artist
under whose direction the Panorama was completed,
had not attempted to represent the city in its mid-day
appearance, because din and motion, its great charac-
teristics at that time, cannot be painted, and circum-
populousness and traffic, had it been represented at
stances enough could have been found to mark its
a more silent and less crowded hour. However, the
impression that we have been, in fact, looking over
an extensive tract of country, and not upon a scene
contained under the same roof with us, is much in-
creased upon examining parts of the distance through
the glasses, when all the effect of viewing the real
distance in nature through a telescope is perfectly
produced. The frequent repetition of this experi-
ment afforded us very great entertainment. Ascend-
ing to the Upper Gallery, the spectator finds his field
of view enlarged, and the distinctness of the objects
diminished in proportion to the increased height of
his station. This alteration in the prospect is
scarcely less interesting than was the first view; and
then, when you have walked out upon the roof of
the building, and have surveyed the Regent's Park
and the neighbourhood of the Colosseum, you feel
renewed gratification in again glancing at the Pano-
rama, to compare with it your refreshed recollection
of the scene without.
Those parts of the Colosseum which are not occu-
pied by the Panorama and its appendages, have
been laid out with rare skill and ingenuity. The
Conservatories, which are capacious and arranged in
the most tasteful style, contain numerous and judi-
ciously selected specimens of the most valuable
exotics. As we know that not only classical students
but those who are familiarly called "general readers,"

from access to the conservatories of the
or of public institutions, often long eagerly
and in vain for an opportunity of examining such
celebrated plants as the papyrus, the date-tree of
Nurnidia, the palm of Scripture, the bread-fruit tree,
and others which they find so often described or
alluded to in the course of their reading—as we know
the delight which such an opportunity would afford
to tranY so circumstanced—we felt real pleasure in
NPaotbinilnistY,
finding it so readily placed within their reach, in the
conservatories of the Colosseum. Just at this time
a beautiful specimen of the cactus speciosissimus is
in flower; the elegance of its form, and the richness

which are in blossom at this season,
esiirance of which is peculiarly agreeable on the
on from the former conservatory. From
passage the view terminates with the
D, which is one of the most picturesque
ever seen. The effect of the beau-
tiful disposition of rock-work and shells, and
the vast number of jets in various directions, is
not to be surpassed by any work of this nature on
the same scale. The cottages, which are so fitted
up as to resemble, in their form and furniture, the
habitations of the Swiss, and attended by persons
in the costume of the country, are rendered doubly
interesting by being placed in the midst of a roman-
tic scene, which seems to have been transferred from
Switzerland. In this the distant mountains, the
rocks, and the lake, which are not painted, but real
wood and water, are so faultlessly disposed, that we
cannot hesitate to pronounce it an admirable speci-
men of artificial scenery. The fishes in the pond,
