ROYAL COLOSSEUM.—This highly popular insti-
tution has, it affords us much pleasure to hear„ been mere
numerously attended during the recent Christmas holidays
than on any former occasion ; and this success is likely to
continue, now that the very able and talented lessee has
resumed his popular lectures on science. Those of
our readers who may remember Dr. Bachhoffner's
pleasant and agreeable style of imparting informa-
tion when, for so many years, he lectured at
the Polytechnic Institution, will doubtless be glad to
know that, on the Thursday evenings during the Lent sea-
son, they may hear hint on the favourite topic of Astro-
nomy. The present subject embraces a most interesting
and graphic description of our satellite the Moon, illus •
trated by a magnificent orrery, and several wonderful pho-
tographs of the Moon's disc, kindly supplied, wo are
informed, by Mr. Warren De la Rue, F. R. S.,
and Messrs. Smith and Beck. These marvellous fac-
similes of the Moon's surface must be seen to be appre-
ciated. We must not forget to mention a most ad-
mirably executed series of coloured photographic views of
the Holy Land, supplied by Messrs. Negretti and Zauibra,
and magnified by the oxy-hydrogen microscope. Many
may remember the beautiful views of the same subject,
from the pencil of David Roberts, R. A. ; but beautiful as
they were as artistic sketches, still they lacked the
fidelity to nature so peculiar to the photographl art.
To those who have not visited the Holy City,
the present series of views (twenty-two in number)
will form an excellent substitute, and from the truthfulness
with which they are produced, and the interest attached to
this now desolate land, we anticipate for the present views a
large share of public favour. A very concise but interesting
description accompanies each view, delivered by Mr. Jones
Hewson, which, together with the other exhibitions of this
noble institution, form one of the most rational and agreeable
modes of spending a few hours, at the small cost of one
shilling, that can be found anywhere, in or out of the
metropolis.
