Having arrived, with the termination of these two
numbers, at the memorable year of 1830, the conti-
nuation of the Pictorial History of England is he re
embellished with two admirable maps of Paris, giv-
ing the eastern and western division of that capital.
We well remember the maps in question as originally
published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful
Knowledge. The narrative itself is sufficiently mas-
culine to screen the authorship from the detection of
the uninitiated.

DRURY•LANE.—CIRQUE NATIONAL DE PARIS.--
On Tuesday evening an accident occurred during the
performances at this theatre, which might have been
attended with serious consequences. Madlle. Amaglia,
while going through her surprising exercises " oe a
bare-backed steed," apparently by some sudden slip of
the horse, fell from him with much force. Her head
came in collision with the wall of the cirque, and she was
carried out, seemingly much hurt. She, however, soon
came forward, and, amidst the congratulating cheers of
the speciators, curtsied her acknowledgments to the au-
dience, and proved to them at the same time that the
accident was not of a serious character. The rest of the
programme was very admirable, and went off with great
éclat, as well as to the decided amusement of all present.
The riding was excellent and interesting; the entertain..
meats were very varied, and altogether diverting; the
" eccentricities" of Messrs. Auriol, Leclair, Young

the Bottle-equilibrist were peculiarly accept-
able, as relief from the more sedate proceedings; while
achievemeutsof M. Auriol; the Dance of the Four Globes,
by MM. Henri and Leroy; the Leap of Streamers, by
Madlle. Ducos, Scc., were particularly effective. The
theatre was very well attended.
DErrroaD DOCKYARD, MARCH 14.—The names
of about 120 mechanics and labourers of this dockyard,
and 20 coopers and 30 labourers of the Victualling-yard,
have been returned to the Admiralty preparatory to
that number of men being superannuated or discharged
from those places at the expiration of the present month,
in order to commence the next financial year on an eco-
nomical system in the working and labouring branches
of the dockyard establishments.
SHERIFFSHIP OF PERTHSHIRE.—We understand
that James Crawfurd, Esq., one of the advocate-deputes,
has been appointed sheriff of the county of Perth, vacant
by the death of Robert Wigharn, Esq. The Dumfries
Courier states that Geo. Young, Esq., will be appointed
one of her Majesty's advocates.deputo in place of Mr.
