THE SOUTH AFRICAN EXHIBITION.

To the naturalist, the collection made by Mr.
Cumming during his five years' hunting adventures
in the wilds of South Africa is extremely interesting.
It comprises uncommon specimens of rare and curious
animals, together with a great variety of sporting
trophies, native arms, costumes, and carosses of state
worn by the Kafir chiefs. Many singular incidents,
illustrative of the scenes of peril through which an
adventurous sportsman passes, are related by a Bush-
man tracker, who accompanied Mr. Cumming during
his adventurous excursion. The exhibition, which
is nearly opposite the Albert-gate, cannot fail to
receive a large share of support from the visitors to
the Great Exhibition.

trivance, a greater variety of panoromss is displayed
this year to the foreign visitors of one of our most
interesting places, at once, of instruction and amuse-
ment. An advantage, this, we conceive to be obvious
enough, at a time when so many strangers will be
congregated in the capital with the purpose, we may
presume, of seeing other things besides the Crystal
Palace. Before reverting for a moment to the present
paintings, it will be worthy of remark that Mr. Bur-
ford's former panorama of Jerusalem was destroyed
about ten years ago by fire at New York, having been
conveyed across the Atlantic for exhibition in the
United States. The completeness of the pictures
now on view at Leicester-square, as representations
of the ruined city and the stupendous cataract, may
be appreciated when it is borne in mind that both
scenes "have their principal and most remarkable
features confined almost entirely to about one•half
the usual circumference." Their interest may be con-
jctured, even by those who have not yet visited
them, when it is remembered that Jerusalem was the
arena of the chief feature in the teaching and cruci-
fixion of the Divine Redeemer, and that the Falls of
Niagara have been not extravagantly characterized as,
among all Nature's works, perhaps " the most won-
derful and magnificent." Not even the most phleg-
matic can look on unmoved at a fall of a vast body of
waters from a precipice one hundred and fifty feet i❑
height, or on that venerable metropolis of Palestine,
among the principal localities of which may be re-
cognised the tombs of the prophets, the throne of
Solomon, the judgment-seat of David, the palace of
Pontius Pilate, the Holy Sepulchre, and the Garden
of Gethsemane.

THE DIORAMA.

The two pictu7.s, idount Etna, painted by M.
Diosse, pupil of M. Daguerre, and the Castle of Stol-
zenfels, on the Rhine, by Nicholas Meciter, of Co-
logne, of which we had occasion to speak on their first
exhibition in favourable terms, attracted a fair pro-
portion of visitors yesterday to the establishment in
the Regent's-park. They are very meritorious, and
will repay the time occupied by a visit to them.

THE CYCLORAMA
Is an adjunct to the Colosseum. After admiring the
calm appearance of the river Tagus and the varied
effects which are produced by throwing different tints
on the moving scenes, the earthquake, which de-
stroyed so large a proportion of the city of Lisbon in
1735, is realized to the mind of the spectator by the
mighty conflict of the waters, and by the larnentablo
result; which are there evident in the overthrown
buildings of the devoted city. The musical illustra-
tions are given oa the new grand Apo;lmmo°, and
the pieces from Beethoven, Monist, Mendelssohn, and
Rossini; are performed with the completeness of an
entire orchestra.

with a deliberative vote in legislative matters, and

dent of the Council is to take rank after the First

The National Gazelle of Berlin states, on authority
of a letter from Vienna, that the Conservative party
is at present intriguing to overthrow the Ministry
of Prince SCHWARTZENBERG, and to replace it by
one presided over by Prince METTERNICH. The
letter adds, that it is considered that a Metternich
Cabinet would probably be able to re-establish on a
firm footing friendly relations between the German
powers.

THE OVERLAND ROUTE TO INDIA.

This interesting and admirably-executed series of
panoramic views, which during the last nine months
has been one of the most attractive exhibitions of the
kind in the metropolis, was yesterday visited by a
large number of persons, who seemed much interested
in the representation of the principal points of interest
on the route from Southampton to Calcutta. Besides
the panorama, three entirely new and very beautiful
views, of the Mausoleum of Taj Mehal, at Agra,
were exhibited for the first time. This celebrated
structure was built during the seventeenth century
by one of the Mogul Sovereigns of India, for the
tomb of his favourite wife. Attached to the mauso-
leum are two mosques, the whole structure being of
white Candahar marble, most elaborately wrought
and enriched with mosaics. The mausoleum is sur-
rounded by gardens ; the whole being of such extent
and magnificence that it is said to have occupied
20,000 men twenty-two years in its completion, and
to have cost 3,174,8001. The views, which have
been painted from sketches made upon the spot by
a gentleman who has resided at Agra eight years
(and who has himself superintended the painting) re-
presents the exterior of the mausoleum and mosques,
as seen by moonlight from the opposite bank of the
river Jumna, the gateway from the garden, and the
interior of the mausoleum, with the cenotaph of the
deceased favourite encircled by a finely-wrought
screen of marble, inlaid with mosaics in precious
stones. IVith respect to the fidelity of the views we
can, of course, offer no opinion, but their artistic
merit is considerable, and they certainly form no
slight addition to the attractions of the panorama of
the Overland Route, to which they are most appro-
priate companions.

THE POLYORAMA, REGENT-STREET.
The great moving panorama of the Dardanelles,
Constantinople, and the Bosphorus, painted by Mr.
Allom, is one of the most attractive exhibitions ever
presented to the public, and well deserves a continu-
ance of the patronage which it has hitherto received.
The celebrated seem.. :loot of 02,
panorama are most faithfully depicted by the
artist, who conducts the spectator from the
plains of Troy to the Black Sea, and then
passing the British fleet on the Hellespont, he
glides across the Sea of Marmora, and proceeds by
the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus to the " City of
the Sultan," which suddenly bursts upon his view in
all its magnificence, presenting innumerable mosques,
minarets, and all those peculiarities for which Ccn-
stantinoPle is so famous. The most remarkable views
and the most celebrated buildings (including the Se-
raglio and the interior of the Harem) ass pointed out
by Mr. Wyman, whose lecture is interspersed with
anecdotes illustrative of the babits and customs of
the people. We are glad to find that " schools" are
admitted at half price, and would suggest the pro-
priety of extending the same privilege to children
generally.

BOSTON ELECTION.

The nomination of a representative to serve in Par-
liament for the borough of Boston in the room of the
Hon. Captain Pelham, deceased, took place yesterday.
Mr. D. W. Wire having retired frpm the contest, it
was expected that Mr. Freshfield, the late solicitor to
the Bank of England, would be returned without op-
position. Mr. Wire's friends, however, determined
to nominate him, and to go to a poll, although with-
out much prospect of success.
The nomination took place at 10 o'clock in the
balcony of the Assembly Rooms, looking upon the
market-place, in which about 500 persons were as-
sembled.
Mr. W. H. CLARKE proposed Mr. Wire, who, he
said, would shine like the meridan sun in the House
of Commons. _

MARYLEBONE THEATRE.

The entertainments at this suburban theatre last
night commenced with the Stringer ; or, Hurrah
for the Road, one of those melodramas, as the title
indicates, in which an air of romance is thrown over
the career of the highwayman, and the burglar is
converted into an interesting character. The piece
was well received, and was followed by the interlude
of the Rival Pages, which was performed almost in
dumb show, the house having in the meantime been
filled to overflowing by an audience which was evi-
dently disposed to enjoy itself to the top of its bent,
and which witnessed no incidents to disturb its equa-
nimity and self-satisfaction, except, it may be, the
expulsion of an intruder, who had assumed a place to
which he was not entitled in the pit, and who was
removed by two active and athletic youths, with a
vigour and rapidity in the administration of justice
worthy of the backwoods of America. There was
only another incident of an exceptional kind in
the course of the whole evening, an adventurous per-
son in corduroys having chosen to traverse tiae.front
of the gallery on all-fours, to get a draught from some
friendly bottle. After a dance the entertainments
concluded with a grand mythological burletta entitled
the Boyhood of Bacchus. In the opening scenes the
voices of the "gods" in the gallery were loud enough
to prevent the dialogue of their rivals of Olympus
being distinctly heard ; but the interruption soon
subsided ; and, what with the songs of Bacchus (Miss
F. Williams) and the other characters, the pretty
tableaux and scenes, the unexceptionable dresses, and
the admirable manner in which the details were got
up, the audience seemed to be vastly pleased. The
impression a visit to the Marylebone Theatre may be
expected to leave is, that great care is bestowed on
the production of the entertainments, and that the
performers are bent on rendering their performances
as complete as possible.

BREES'S PANORAMA.

The subjects of this excellent Panorama are views
of New Zealand, divided into two parts, and a picture
of Sydney, New South Wales. In the picture of the
town of Auckland, while the native canoes in the
foreground, with the carving on their prows, which
is distinctly brought out in the painting, gives a
pleasing idea of native ingenuity ; the thriving appear-
ance of the town, with the other indications of pros-
perity in its neighbourhood, indicate the progress
that is there making in all the arts of civilisation.
The views of Wellington and of the Bay of All Saints
were also beautifully managed with a view to pieta.
rial effect. The view of Sydney, with the military
fort in the distance, was distinctly and finely deli-
neated.

WESTERN INSTITUTION.
The panoramas at this institution in Leicester-
'q
uare are devoted exclusively to the illustration of
possessions at the Cape of Good Hope ;
our
rendered more than usually interesting, at present,
from their being the seat of war. We are first pre-
sented with several views of Cape Town and the
neighbourhood, taken successively from Table Bay,
from the interior of the town, and from the summit
of Table Mountain. There are also spirited re-
presentations of Dutch villages, Hottentot kraals,
and Kafir encampments, together with views of
the natural scenery of the district, which will do
more than the most laboured descriptions could ac-
complish in making the spectator acquainted with the
peculiar difficulties to be enceuntered by our troops
in their conflicts with the natives. To these the en-
terprising proprietor has lately added a new sketch,
illustrative of the recent attack of the Kafirs on
Colonel Mackinnon and his party, in the gorge of the
Keiskamma Hoek ; the whole accompanied by appro-
priate music, under the direction of Miss Kirkham,
and a descriptive lecture, highly elucidative of the
subject, by Mr. J. D. Malcolm.

GREENWICH FAIR.
The persistence with which the body corporate of
Cockoeydom clings to its prescriptive rights would be
a very fine trait of its character if it were not, in its
collateral effects, a very unpleasant one. Year after
Easter
Monday the good people flock to Greenwich on
Monday to ruin their best bonnets and destroy their
best coats with an ardour no rain can quench, and
vigour no mud can intimidate,, and yet there is no
sign of reform. If old Moore, Judging what the fu-
ture world be from the experience of the rernottst
past put down in his atmospherics, revelations, after
the Easter Monday, . " Very wet, he would be re-
garded as an arrant impostor ; for the whole world
east of Temple-bar seems to have determined from
time immemorial, that the opening of Greenwich
fair on Easter Monday shall be and must. be "fine
and dry." With the usual perfidiousness of the seaL,`

STRANGE ACCIDENT ON THE CLTDE.—GLASGOW,
SATURDAY EVENING—This forenoon an accident of a some-
what unusual character occurred on the Clyde. The brig
James Ewing, for St. Kitt's and Antigua, was being towed
down the river by a tug, when, nearly opposite Greenock, from
some accident on one side or the other, she came in contact
with the brig George, of Newcastle, which was also being
towed down the river on her outward voyage to Montreal.
From the force of the collision the fluke of the anchor of the
James Ewing, which was suspended from the bows, was
driven through her timbers below the water-line, leaving a
hole similar to that which might have been produced by a
cannon-shot. As the vessel immediately began to fill every
exertion was made to get her into harbour, but the efforts
were unsuccessful, for she sank close to the entrance to
Scott's Dock. The crew made their escape without any diffi-
culty. The James Ewing had a valuable miscellaneous
cargo, consisting principally of manufactured goods. the
greater part of which will be ruined or damaged by the water.
It was expected that as the tide fell she would be immediately
discharged and the damage repaired, for in other respects the
ship is uninjured. We believe the other vessel did not sus-
tain any material injury.
ANOTHER INTENDED the Irish Court of
Queen's Bench a case is about to be brought before the
Court, in the shape of a motion for a writ of habeas
corpus, to remove a young lady from a convent in the west
of Ireland, and restore her to the care of her father, whose
position, as proprietor and editor of one of the most
thorough-going Roman Catholic newspapers in the country,
will not be the least remarkable feature in the affair. The
young lady has been residing in the convent for the last
year, with the intention of becoming a nun, and her father,
who is strongly opposed to her adoption of that mode of life,
has made frequent but fruitless efforts to have her restored
to his roof. His applications to the Roman Catholic prelate
of the locality to interfere have been all in vain; and his
offer to send back the girl to the convent at the end of a
year, if she were allowed to return to him, and still persisted
in her intention to embrace a religious life, undertaking then
to give her the fortune of 500/. which he had intended for
her, with his full consent that she should become a nun,

PORTUGAL.

Advices have been received from Lisbon to the
2th inst.

The city was tranquil, and Santarem was in pos-
session of the KING and of the Duke of TERCEIRA.
The following is the KING'S order of the day upon
taking the command of the troops :
" Bravo and loyal Portuguese army I—A general,
whose first duty, according to the principles of honour
and military laws, was to respect the Throne, its consti-
tutional prerogatives, and the maintenance of discipline,
committed the unheard of and unjustifiable attempt of
inciting part of the army to revolt. This criminal pro-
ceeding will be justly valued by the nation.
" Brave and loyal Portuguese army I—As Commander-
in-Chief I am the first to respect the free exercise of the
prerogatives of the Crown. A soldier's first duty is
obedience; he cannot nor ought not to intermeddle in
political affairs. A contrary proceeding is to attack her
Majesty the Queen, the constitutional charter, and
public order.

SALDANHA was at Leira, and JOACHIM BENTO was
at Curache, endeavouring to effect a junction with
him. It is said to be SALDANHA'S intention to march
on Oporto, but the Oporto Junta holds back until
SALDANHA shall agree to the stipulations. Up to the
morning of the 10th there had been no rising at
Oporto.

was published at Vienna on the 18th. It enacts that
the Council shall be adjoined to the Ministry,
with a deliberative vote in legislative matters, and
a consultative one in other subjects. The Presi-
dent of the Council is to take rank after the First

The National Gazette of Berlin states, on authority

is at present intriguing to overthrow the Ministry
of Prince SCHWARTZENDERG, and to replace it by

The Breslau' Gazette says that the police of Vienna
have called on the chiefs of manufacturing establish-
ments in that city, to communicate a list of all their
workmen, to indicate the nation to which they be-
long, their general conduct, whether they are in-
clined to drink or play, and their political opinions.
Several persons have, it is said, refused to give this
information.

The Cologne Gazette says that, in its last note to
the _Prussian Government, the Cabinet of Vienna again
rejects all idea of a division of the Executive Govern-
ment, and consents to restore the old Diet, subject,
however, to important reforms in the manner of voting
in the plenum and federal council, to the establish-
ment of a customs union between Austria and (xer-
many, and to a re-organization of the public instruc-
tion and the military system.

STOCKROLM, APRIL 17.—The Committee of the
Storthing has pronounced against the Government
proposal, which empowers the Ministers, Councillors
of State, and the Governor to take part in the public

another proposition, which, while it altogether ex-
cludes the Governor from this privilege, permits the
Ministers and Councillors of State to attend the secret
sittings with the authorisation of the Chamber.

ITALY.

The Tyrol Messenger states that public tranquillity
bad been disturbed in Como in consequence of an
attempt made by a number of individuals to prevent
others from smoking. The riot, however, was
promptly suppressed. Several parsons belonging to
distinguished families were arrested, and a heavy
contribution was levied on the town.
A letter from Mantua of the 10th inst. mentions
that the Marquis Gallazo di Bagno having lately
demanded a passport for London, the authorities de-
clined acceding to his request, because, having lately
pleaded poverty to avoid paying hi 3 share of the
voluntary loan, he could not have the means of per-
forming a journey to London.
The Risorgimento, of the 17th inst,, quotes a letter
from Rome of the 13th, stating that the political and
military league between Rome, Naples, Tuscany,
Parma, and Modena, continued to be much talked of
in that capital. The military chief of the league, it
says—
" Will naturally be the King of Naples, who will
have under his immediate orders the Duke of Parma.
The Pope will be the political chief. It is believed that
France is most anxious for the conclusion of the pro-
jected alliance, as a means of putting a period to the
French and Austrian occupation. But how is the treaty
to be executed? Where are the armies of the Duke of
Parma and the Grand Duke of Tuscany? Are the
Neapolitans to occupy Tuscany and the Roman domi-
nions ?"

ARGYLL ROOMS.

This elegant and popular lounge and salle de danse
was, of course, thronged to excess last night, as, in-
deed, it is most nights. Amongst the company there
was a pretty extensive sprinkling of foreigners, who
appeared to be highly delighted with the extent and
splendour of the rooms, and were equally enthusias-
tic in the applause they bestowed on the music. But
few European capitals can boast of so agreeable a
place of amusement of the sort as this, and it may be
safely predicted, that during the approaching season
of bustle and excitement the Argyll Rooms will be
one of the principal rendezvous of the million sight-
seers who are now meditating a speedy visit to the
great metropolis. The orchestra has over and over
again been pronounced to be one of the best of its
description in London ; in fact, it is the same that
frequently attends the private balls of the nobility,
and in the course of each evening the chief composi-
tions of the first masters are performed with an accu-
racy and finish that would do no discredit to the
opera itself. The dancing, too, is conducted with
great propriety and order, and the scene that is nightly
presented to the wondering gaze of the spectator is
animated in the extreme. Nor are the rooms them-
selves at all inconveniently heated from the crowd
that is continually moving to and fro, or galloping
through the steps of the mazy dance, fur by an in-
genious apparatus, which owes its origin to the fertile
brain of Mr. G. P. Bryer, one of the spirited managers,
a delicious stream of cool air is continually being con-
veyed into the saloon, while a corresponding piece of
mechanism is fixed in the roof of the building, which
absorbs the dust and draws off all impurities in the
atmosphere. Those, therefore, who are fond of trip-
ping it on the light fantastic toe, or listening to the
thrilling strains of brilliantly executed music, should
not lose sight of the Argyll Rooms in the course of
their rambles about town.
London, England, 1851-04-22

In reply to a question from the magistrate as to
whether the police had been consulted or employed in
discovering the missing man,
Inspector Roger said that the police of the L divi-
sion had been endeavouring to trace the unfortunate
man, and though they had sent a description of his
person, which was rendered somewhat remarkable
from his having lost his left arm, they had not been
able to hear the slightest tidings of him.
Mr. ELLIOTT remarked, that as far as regarded the
property spoken of, he felt satisfied that the Commis•
sionerz of Inland Revenue and the landlord of the
York Hotel would deliver up the property upon a
proper representation being made to them, without
the necessity of any order from him.
John Mummery, a man who has up to the present
time stood remanded, was fully committed for trial on
a charge of abstracting a quantity of coals from the
coal wharf of Mr. Charles J. Dunham, near the
Surrey Canal, Camberwell, and which adjoins the
prisoner's premises.

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.

That part of the public which habitually resorts
to this well-managed little house, evinced a deter-
mination to be compensated for out-of-door disap-
pointment by thronging thither for sheltered enjoy-
ment, the pit especially being densely crowded. The
performance opened with The Merchant of Venice.
Of this little need be said. Shylock being of course
appropriated by Mr. Phelps, the only noticeable fea-
ture was the first appearance of Miss Goddard, a
young lady from the northern provinces, in the
character of Portia. The difficulty of the task
thus undertaken was evident; but, on the whole,
it was creditably executed. At the commence-
ment, a slight nervous agitation was perceptible, as
usual, in a want of self-possession, and in consequent
deficiency of graceful action and natural intonation ;
but as the play proceeded, there was a better realization
of the exquisitely beautiful points of the character.
In the court scene there was great but not strained
animation, the climax with regard to the effect of the
bond being well wrought up. The subsequent ring
denouement was rendered with great vivacity by Por-
tia and her friend Nerissa (Miss Fanny Huddart).
Miss Goddard is no doubt (what young actress is
not ?) susceptible of improvement, but she is also ap-
parently capable of it ; and with a rather more spar-
ing or less professional use of the organs of sight, at-
tentive observation, and careful study, the debutante
may obtain a satisfactory position. At the close of

Evelyn and Pepys. carried forward by Swift's journals and correspon-
dence, and ending almost in our own day with the histories of Mr.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN EXHIBITION.

To the naturalist, the collection made by Mr.
Cumming during his five years' hunting adventures
in the wilds of South Africa is extremely interesting.
It comprises uncommon specimens of rare and curious
animals, together, with a great variety of sporting
trophies, native arms, costumes, and carosses of state
worn by the Kafir chiefs. Many singular incidents,
illustrative of the scenes of peril through which an
adventurous sportsman passes, are related by a Bush-
man tracker, who accompanied Mr. Cumming during
his adventurous excursion. The exhibition, which
is nearly opposite the Albert-gate, cannot fail to
receive a large share of support from the visitors to
the Great Exhibition.

THE POLYORAbIA, REGENT-STREET.

The great moving panorama of the Dardanelles,
Constantinople, and the Bosphorus, painted by Mr.
Allow, is one of the most attractive exhibitions ever
presented to the public, and well deserves a continu-
ance of the patronage which it has hitherto received.
The celebrated scenes which form the subject of the
panorama are most faithfully depicted by the
artist, who conducts the spectator from the
plains of Troy to the Black Sea, and then
passing the British fleet on the Hellespont, he
glides across the Sea of Marmora, and proceeds by
the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus to the " City of
the Sultan," which suddenly bursts upon his view in
all its magnificence, presenting innumerable mosques,
minarets, and all those peculiarities for which Con-
stantinople is so famous. The most remarkable views
and the most celebrated buildings (including the Se-
raglio and the interior of the Harem) are pointed out
by Mr. Wyman, whose lecture is interspersed with
anecdotes illustrative of the babits and customs of
the people. We are glad to find that " schools" are
admitted at half price, and would suggest the pro-
priety of extending the same privilege to children
generally.

lARYLEBONE THEATRE.

The entertainments at this suburban the atre last
night commenced with the Stringer; or, Hurrah
for the Road, one of those melodramas., as the title
indicates, in which an air of romance is tb rown over
the career of the highwayman, and the burglar is
converted into an interesting character. The piece
was well'received, and was followed by tho interlude
of the Rival Pages, which was performed, almost in
dumb chow, the house having in the meantime been
filled to overflowing by an audience which, was evi-
dently disposed to enjoy itself to the top of its bent,
and which witnessed no incidents to distulb its equa-
nimity and self-satisfaction, except, it may be, the
expulsion of an intruder, who had asgireied a place to
which he was not entitled in the pit, end who was
removed by two active and athletic youths' with a
vigour and rapidity in the administration of justice
worthy of the backwoods of America. There was
only another incident of an exceptional kind in
the course of the whole evening, an adventurous per-
son in corduroys having chosen to traverse the front
of the gallery on all-fours, to get a draught from some
friendly bottle. After a dance the entertainments
concluded with a grand mythological burletta entitled
the Boyhood of Bacchus. In the opening scenes the
voices of the "gods" in the gallery were loud enough
to prevent the dialogue of their rivals of Olympus
being distinctly heard ; but the interruption soon
subsided ; and, what with the songs of Bacchus (Miss
F. Williams) and the other characters, the pretty
tableaux and scenes, the unexceptionable dresses, and
the admirable manner in which the details were got
up, the audience seemed to be vastly pleased. The
impression a visit to the Marylebone Theatre may be
expected to leave is, that great care is bestowed on
the production of the entertainments, and that the
performers are bent on rendering their performances
as complete as possible.
