CoLossEum.—On Saturday afternoon his Highness
Ibrahim Pacha and suite, visited the above splendid
establishment, and was conducted by Mr. W. Bradwell
.to
the Panorama of London, Conservatories, Glyptotheeas Swiss
Cottage, Classic Ruins, and Camera, &c., with every portion
of which his Highness expressed his admiration and delight,
and announced his intention of coming again in the evening
toview the Panorama of London by night. This extraor-
dinary work of art, with its various atmospheric. effects,
fleecy clouds, and twinkling stars, so astonished his High-
ness, that he could not imagine it was a painting, or in what
mapner it was placed to produce such an effect of reality.
He afterwards visited every part of the establishrnenta.
second time, and after partaking of refreshments and his
cigar, he departed mach pleased by his second visit, stating,
if his engagements permitted, he should again visit the
night view of London before he left London. The Colosseum
was exceedingly crowded on the evening of his visit by
groups of elegantly dressed ladies, Saturday being the most
fashionable evening of this establishment.
COSXORAnA Roosts, REGENT STREET.—INDIAN WAR.
—Aviongt the numerous attractions of London, now in the
height of its season, no in-door amusement or exhibition is
more interesting or better calculated to please than the repre-
sentation of our late victories in India,by a series of beautiful
diuramic views. We are made familiar with the terrific
events at tioodkee, Ferozeshah, Aliwal, and Sobraon. Each
painting is on a scale of unusual magnitude, and most effec-
tively represents the separate engagements. The battles of
Moodkee and Sobraon appear to be the favourite pictures. In
the former a splendid scene of Eastern grandeur—a setting
sun—throws a peculiar glow of colour over a scene of the
most dreadful carnage. The distant country, and the con-
testing armies, especially the principal figures, are exceed-
ingly well painted, and give a life-like reality to the whole,
which for a time completely absorbs the attention of specta-
tors. The battle of Sobraon is a bright morning scene, and
delineates the events which occurred on the morning of the
10th of February, 1846, in the attack on the Seikh entrench-
ments. "Not a shot was tired until the entrenchments were
gained, and then the volleys of musketry told with deadly
effect. As the bayonets of these troops were seen in levelled
rank advancing from point to paint, they were watched with
the most anxious suspense. The Seikhs, guarded by their
defences, disputed the advance of our men, who, involved in
the intricacies of the woks, and met everywhere by a de-
structive fire, were able to advance but slowly, even when
re-inforced by the 7th brigade. It was in this desperate
struggle that Sir R. Dick fell, gallantly cheering forwar.l
his troops." This is a most excellent picture, and one which
will add to the fame of the artist, Mr. J. Meadows. Altoge-
ther the exhibition is one of a truly national and first-class
character; and we hope to see it take its stand amongst the
legitimate works of art in the metropolis.
TIER Brut OF AN ADDER.—Yesterday afternoon, as
Miss Bannister, a young lady residing in Quebec-street,
Alontague-square, was crossing the fields between West-end,
Hampstead, and the Swiss Cottage, Regent's-park, she was
stung by an adder above the right ancle. On reaching home,
the limb began to swell in an alarming manner; surgical as-
sistance was obniined, the part cut out, and the wound
cauterised, &c., hut she is considered in great danger.
LORD WILLI %.31 101.4:U.—The accounts of his Lord -
ship's illness received on Saturday last by the Duke and
Duchess of Bedford were most discouraging; but subsequent

brought from Genoa to this country.
