livered during the progress is clear and to the point,
and gives all necessary information without tres-
passing too long upon the patience of the audience
or doing anything but interest still further in the
subject before them. The diorama of Russia intro-
duces some navel scenic effects, which are managed
with great art. The most striking in this series are
the views of Nijni Novogorod during the fair, Mos-
cow, and the Ural mount iin, which of themselves
are sufficiently interesting to well repay a visit.
The Great Globe is now applied to illustrating
the recent discoveries of Dr. Livingston in S'luthern
Africa, on the model of which the whole course of
his long wanderings is minutely traced. - The route
of the proposed Euphrates Valley Railway, the lo-
calities of ;the wars at Canton and Bushire, the line•
of the intended' Atlantic submarine cable, and the
course and influence of the Gulf Stream, are also
delineated with the utmost precision, and form the
basis of a most interesting explanatory lecture,
which, with the aid of the Great Globe, is perfectly
clear and comprehensible, even to children or the
least informed upon such matters. The room de-
voted to Crimean trophies contains the }Jett and
mot complete series of relics of the late war which
we have yet seen. Some recent and important ad-
ditions have also been made to the waxwork
figures. Upwards of 4,000 people visited the exhi-
bition in the course, of yesterday. We can recom-
mend it to the notice of our readers as one of the
most varied and entertaining places of rational '
amusement to be found in the metropolis.
