from the Crimea, from Turkey, and Illust.ia, views of the
most remarkable streets and public buildings in Paris,
in Venice, and other continental cities, and other inte-
resting objects ; besides which there are several stereo-
scopes, containing pictures the subjects of which are
calculated to engage the attention of those who visit this
exhibition.
Among the numerous exhibitions now to he viewed
in the metropolis, the establishment of Madame TUC.
Faud's waxwork stands most promietently out, illus-
trating, as it does, so many objects .of beauty and
interest. Here may be seen kings, queens, heroes,
legislators, and poets, besides good men of all nations
and times, faithfully represented, and certainly most
life-like, affording much instruction as well as amuse-
ment to the beholders ; and, in fact, but few can com-
pete with it for its splendid decor ations and the ra•
tional gratification to be obtained from a visit to this,
one of the many intellectual sights of the metropolis.
THE 02E111.—Strange it is that no application what-
ever has been made to the lessee of the Theatre Royal
Drury-lave by Mr. Gye, for the use of that national
theatre for this season. It is stated that Mr. Gye ob-
jected on account of the number of renters who have
free admission. This cannot be the cage, for, by an in-
spection of the renters' free admission book, it will be
seen that few gentlemen have availed thems elves of the
privilege, during the late prosperous season and pro-
tracted run of the pantomime at that theatre.—Sunday
