lECUANICAL THEATRE, LOWTHER ROOMS.
_We were highly gratified by a visit which we paid to this
exhibition last night. The accuracy of the figures, and the
beauty of the scenery, combine to produce a delusion which
tines infinite credit to the ingenuity and talent of the spirited
Proprietor. " Napoleon crossing the Alps," in which upwards of
30,000 moving figures are introduced, gives a good idea of the
difficulties the French troops had to overcome in their passage
to Italy. The " Wreck of the Fo✓•farshire," however, we consi-
der the chef d'oeuvre of the exhibition. We shall not attempt
to describe its details, so painfully true to nature, but recom-
mend such of our reads s as may wish to pass two hours
pleasantly, to visit the Lowther Rooms.
ANECDOTE OF THE LATE LORD DURHAM.
—ln 1820, having• written to Sir Thomas Liddell (who was
then with the King at Brighton) to request his vote and in-
terest, Mr. Lambton received the following " courtly" answer :
" 11Y DEAR SIR,—In times like the present, it is impossible
to allow private feelings to take place of a sense of public
duty. I think your conduct as dangerous in Parliament as it
is in your own county. Were you my brother, therelore, I
could not give you my support.
(Signed) " THOMAS LIDDELL."
On receipt, the patriot for Durham returned the following
laconic, noble, and spirited answer:—
" My DEAR SIR THOMAS,—In answer to your letter, I
beg to say I feel gratitude for your frankness, compassion fur
your fears, little dread of your opposition, aml no want of your
support. (Signed) " J. G. LAMETON."
