PANORAMA OF TIE NILE.

A private view took place on Friday at 53, Pall•
mall, of three large and elaborate additional views to
be added to Messrs. Warren, Bonomi, and Fahey's
panorama of the Nile, and the Holy Land. The pic-
tures in question represent the principal bazaar in
Grand Cairo, crowded with buyers and sellers, and
piled with masses of glittering eastern merchandise,
and two religious ceremonies—the annual recurrence
of both of which is hailed as holiday occasions by
the faithful of the city of the Nile. First, wa have
the procession of the Afahmal, an ornamented cover-
ing, yearly sent from Cairo to deck the Cava at
Mecca—a small temple reported by the Mussulmans
to have been built by Abraham—the sacred offering-
preceded by a band of fanatic snake charmers, and
followed by a long procession of ecclesiastical and civic
functionaries; while afterwards there is exhibited the
ceremonial of the Dosah, also of yearly occurrence
in Cairo, where, upon the anniversary of the Pro-
phet's birthday, the Sheik, or chief of the snake
' charmers, rides through the city and over long rows
of prostrate bodies of his admirers ; the fact of sub-
mitting to the tread of the horse being esteemed a
signal evidence of orthodoxy. The theory of the
ceremony is, that nobody is or can be hurt by the
sacred hoofs, and the horse is probably trained to
walk as gingerly as may be, and to step fairly on the
prostrate bodies; but in the occasionally occurring
case of an awkward squeez', great care is taken to
hush up the scandal.
The new pictures are spirited, effective, and full of
interest $ the architectural and still-life details admi-
rable; and the general result a decidedly instructive
and curious addition to the former panorama, the chief
pictorial points of which, we may remark, have been
furbished up and retouched.
