3 ATCII OF 300 Mx LEs..—Captain Fairburn, whose pede-

PEkISTRIPHIC PANORAMA.—We are lovers of
Panoramas, because they supply to us and persons like us a
share of the pleasures which others purchase by a life of travel
and adventure. If they do less to cultivate the taste than ex-
exhibitions of Cabinet and easil paintings, they generally give
a much more vivid and detailed conception of the objects they
represent—more especially by the novel mode of introducing a
succession of views by the Peristriphic or moving system at presen t
so universally admired in the Panorama of theßattles of Li gny, Les
Quatre Bras, and Waterloo, at Spring-gardens, which, although
painted on an immense scale, is finished with much care,. and
presents many excellent portraits of the different eminent officers
engaged in those memorable conflicts. We believe we are
behind many of our readers in having neglected, until within
these few days, to visit this ingenious and interesting
Exhibition, which consists of twelve Views of the Battles
above mentioned. These Views, disposed of round the
circumference of a circle, which revolves on an axis, pre-
sent themselves one after another to the eye of the spec-
tator, who sits unmoved and enjoys the varied pageant.—
Some of the views are sufficient for a panorama of themselves,
and are excellent as landscapes ; while others again give us a
brief idea of the bustle, animation, and terrors of an engage-
ment. Upon the whole, the exhibition is got up in a most hand_
some style, and ranks high amongst the list of novelties at pre-
sent in London.

A very general Report prevails that Ministers
intend dissolving Parliament in the month of June. We do
not pretend to know how far the Report is correct, but, we un-
derstand, it was alluded to by a distinguished Visitor at the
Mansion-House last week.—( Nezycaras Chronicle, Marchl3.)
The German papers state that the planting of
the Vine in the neighbourhood of Odessa has succeeded ad-
mirably. It is now about eight years since they were first intro-
duced : about 100,000 Vines have been planted, which already
yield a good stock of fruit, so that by and bye an excellent
vintage may be naturally expected.
The number of Births at Hamburgh last year
was 3,553, and the Deaths 3,554 ; 1,141 couples were married.
A recent letter from St. Petersburgh says, a
new modification has just taken place with regard to the mus-
quet manufactories of Tula and Sartarept. For the mainte-
nance of the former, including the salaries of the agents,
125,000 rubles has been assigned; and for the latter, 127,830.
The manufactory at Tula delivers annually from 50 to 70,000
new musquets, and that of Sartarept from 30 to 40,000.
In the night between the 17th and 18th ult.
102 village dwelling-houses and 113 barns were destroyed by
fire at Ostritz, in Upper S;xony.
