HER MAJESTY'S CONCERT-ROOM, IIAY.MAR-
KET. MR. CHARLES MARSHALL'S DIO-
RAMA OF A TOUR THROUGH EUROPE.
The grand moving diorama painted by Mr. Charles
Marshall, and representing the grand routes of a tour
through Europe, was opened to the public, on Monday
at her Majesty's Concert Room! (attached to tier
Majesty's Theatre), in the Haymarket. The exhibition
was accompanied by a descriptive lecture admirably de-
livered by Mr. Woody, who has the good taste to dis-
pense with the long white wand which the describers of
dioramas have been heretofore so fond of using.
The first route exhibited is that to Constanti-
nople, via Hamburgh, Berlin, Dresden, Prague,
the Walhalla—that monument of the patriotism and
taste of King Lewis of Bavaria, Ratisbon, Vienna,
Perth, and Buda, and Hungary, to the Iron Gat.
of the Danube, and from thence to Constantinople.
The second route is from Rome to Mount
Blanc, and includes views of Rome, of the city of
Venice, and of the Place of St. Mark, of the
Laggo Maggiore of the sublime Monte Rosa, of the
Gallery of Isella of the Valley of Gorodo, of the Gallery
of Gorodo, of the Village cf the Simplon, of a snow-
storm and avalanche of the beautiful little town of
Interlachee, of the:Jungfrau, the scene of Byron's " Man-
fred,"of the Wetterhorn,ofthe:Vallies of Grindelwald and
Lauterbruunen, and the other magnificent scenery of
the Bernese Oberland, of the beautiful Lake Leman, and
the neat little city of Geneva, and of the wonders of the
Valley of Chamouni, including the Montanvert and
Mont Blanc. We must confess that we were more
pleased with this than with any other portion of the
panorama ; Mr. Charles Marshall excels in the deli-
neation of the sublime Alpine scenery, and we can,
from our own personal reminiscences, vouch for his cor-
rectness. The third route exhibits the tour of the Rhine,
exhibiting Johannisberg and Bingen, the Mouse Tower
and Ehrenfels, Caub, showing also the Castle ofillfals,the
Castle of Guteniels, and Oberwezel, and the Castle ce
Schomberg, the rock of Leuleiburg, the Castle of
Stolzenfels ; after leaving which we pass some
timber rafts on the Rhine, and arrive at
Cologne. These views are executed in the
most elaborate manner, and the effect they pro-
duce is one of grandeur. The exhibition was greatly
applauded, and we know of no pleasanter way of pass-
ing two hours than accompanying Mr. Charles Marshall
in his grand European tour.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—The imports
of all articles during the week have been on a moderate scale,
but more than equal to our very limited demand. Every
branch of the trade remains most inanimate, and the weather
mild and upen. Our farmers brought a very fair supply of
wheat to this day's market ; even best runs were bought on
somewhat easier terms than last week, and anything cold or
out of hand was quite unsaleable ; in foreign the transactions
remain perfectly retail. Only a limited business doing in
barley, and ne demand for other descriptions of spring corn.
Without much business passing the linseed market is firm.
Cakes are procurable at our quotations of 71 and 7123 ed.
Nothing doing in rapeseed, and the salts of cake are quite retail.

ALLEGED MURDER.—On Sunday night last a mur-
derous attack was made at Wednesbury, in Staffordshire, upon John Welsh, an Irishman, by four or five fellows, also Irishmen. It is supposed that the offending parties enter-
tained some ill-feeling against Welsh, and upon meeting him
near the Gate, at Lea Brook, they commenced a deadly as-
sault upon him with bricks, cinders, &c. Leaving him wel-
tering in his blood, and apparently clued, they proceeded
to a house in the immediate neighbourhood, occupied by
a relative of Welsh's, and who, it is conjectured, had also in
some way excited their They were in the act of
