We understand tbat a new and most elaborate
piece of firework, which Mr. Southby intends :producing
on Wednesday next, at the Royal Surrey Zoological
Gardens, is to exceed in brilliancy and effect anything
of the sort ever before produced. An immense frame,
representing the Shield of Achilles, has in the centre a
transparent head of Medusa, around which various serpents
revolve in a most surprising manner. Different coloured fires
and numerous combinations are exhibited, and the artist un-
hesitatingly stakes, upon the result, his claim to be consi-
dered the "first pyrotechnist of the day."
THE EXHIBITION BONNETS, &C.—Although there
are very many beautiful bonnets in the English class, it
would seem that some of the principal manufacturers were
too much engaged to contribute to the collection. The dis-
play must therefore not be taken as a true exponent of the
capabilities of this branch of trade, into which of late a de-
gree of vitality has been thrown by one or two firms, which
has given to the less energetic the title of " the old school."
The new system appears not to allow anything to interfere
with novelty, and thus, by continually producing newness of
style and material, to create a never-dying demand. This
experiment has been eminently' successful, and we are in.
formed of one house alone, that of Frederick Goodyear, of
St. Paul's Churchyard, which has contributed largely by
its spirit and enterprise to this state of things, and principally
through which London can now vie with any place in Europe
in this trade, and indeed to this house the exquisite fancy and
other bonnets now so much the vogue are traceable.—Herald
