ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INsTrrunoN.--to a hat)
glance which we were enabled to give on SatßratlYfi od
this splendid temple of science, we were delighted t° ,
that it was crowded to excess. There are many "pr.
ties in the dissolving views, and in the lectures of
so
Ryan and Professor Bachoffner. Important as all theme
are, they appear trivial in comparison to the "greo
fact," that there are so many thousands in Londc°LeA
were seen there on Saturday, capable of that hig"oo,
enjoyment, the utit dulcie. The institution was open..
Saturday evening, being the first Saturday since its el".
blishment.
ACCIDENT.—An. aged man (name unknown), SUP;
posed to be a resident in Maiden-lane, Battle-bridge,
on Friday night run over by a cab, the driver of Whi„Co
turned out to be asleep at the time. The injured 1°-
was passing song Maiden-lane, and the horse wag. prod•
ceeding at the moment of the accident at an uncontrox f
pace of 12 miles an hour. Mr. Benjamin Gardener,
Kensington Gravel-pits, happening to be passing at tl3OO
time, in -company with his wife, witnessed the accidene
.
and pursued and overtook the cabman who seemed tit
conscious of what had occurred. The injured man, from
whose mouth blood gushed profusely, was placed in the
cab, and conveyed in a speechless state to the near°g
accident hospital. There was no policeman near.
CITY IMPOSITIONS.—At a recent meeting of the
Ward of Bridge, it was stated that any person landing
below London-bridge from foreign steam-boats "is
obliged to pay Is. the instant he put his foot on Wes
shore. This imposition was said to have the effect of
driving passengers to land at Blackwell. All 'the mem-
bers of the Court of Common Council for the ward Pro"
mired to do their best to put an end to it.
RAILWAY TRANSIT A REMEDY ron THE Scsucar,
OF MILK IN THE METROPOLIS.—The great scarcity of
milk among the milk dealers in the metropolis at Christ-
mas has for many years been much felt; but by ar-
rangements made with country dairies, great quantities
of milk were yesterday' imported into London by rail'
way, and a very plentiful supply of milk was had from
Essex, Hertfordshire, and Hampshire; large cans of
milk are daily transmitted to, the metropolis by the
various railways.

We read in a letter from Rome of the 11th
"We have just passed a dreadful night. The rain fell
in torrents, with lightning and thunder. The Tiber
overflowed its banks, and inundated the city in many
parts. In the vicinity large quantities of corn are de-
stroyed, whole flocks have perished, and several persons
are said to have lost their lives. The waters of the
Tiber are now returning to their bed."
Tau COLOSSEUM.—The division of prices at tills
delightful exhibition is a great boon to the public, and
a great advantage to the proprietor. A great boon to
the public inasmuch as it enables an individual 'for one
shilling to see any one portion of the exhibition. For
instance, the Museum of Sculpture and the Panorama ef,
LondoubyDay may be seen for one shilling. The Con-
servatory, Aviary Views, .and Swiss ScenerT may be •
seen for a similar sum; or if the visitor is desirous, like
Richmond, of penetrating " into the bowels of the lane
for his shilling, he may visit the Stalactite Caverns
at Adelsberg. It is a great advantage to the proprietor
because, like a diminishing duty it brings with it an
increased revenue, and for the same reason.
Many who really cannot afford to pay more
than one shtlling at a time have hitherto
been kept away from the Colosseum. These visitors
pay their shilling, and delighted with what they have
seen, return again some months afterwards and see
another portion, and a month after that, return and seo
the remainder, bringing with them a party each time.
These visitors are, however, few in number, compared
with those who enter the Colosseum determined only to
see one shilling's-worth, but who are so delighted with
that that they are tempted to pay another, and do not
leave the building until they have seen the whole. The
Colosseum was this morning crowded with visitors' of
this class, and so delighted were they with what they ;
saw by day that not a few of them audibly expressed
their determination to revisit the Colosseum at night, id_
order to see how the various objects look when Mud'
nated by artificial light, and they are right. The day
and the night exhibitions are perfectly distinct; they
no more resemble one another than clay resembles flier,-
and no one can form an idea or the _wonders of
lone= who bee not seen both.
