Painted by Damson and Telbin:

The sensation caused by this unrivalled production Is beyond all
former ecedent ; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its extraordinay beauty .sad fidelity of delinea-
tion, and are unanimous in proLouncing it the most wonderfid ex-
hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific
display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa..
eious Lake, to be fully appreciated.
Beethoven's celebrated Battle Sinfonia, de,criptive o f an En.
amgement between the French and English Armies.
The Evening PROMENADE LONCERTS on Mondays, Tues-
days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays conuucted uy Mr. Godfrey,
are up.n,a scale of more than usual excellence; sait words fail in
doing justice to the awful representation of
THE GREAT FIRE Ok LONDON.
Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so I>eautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic
Art, ilat delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that .2.outliby, .he Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless
triumph.
The ,irardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect
state, .ud combining so many and interesting features, are by far
the most attrivitive lounge in or near the iretrocilis.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
—This morning, at an early hour, a most murderous as-
sault was committed in the workhouse by a pauper
named James Winters upon another pauper named
Thomas Leeds, whose life has thereby been placed in
imminent danger. It appears, that at dinner time yes-
terday, during the temporary absence of the ward-in-
spector, there was a fight in the day-room between
Winters and another man, and that Leeds interfered to
preserve peace. This interposition seems to have ex-
cited considerable animosity in Winters, for this morn-
ing, whilst Leeds was sitting quietly at breakfast, un-
conscious of danger, Winters silently approached from
behind, and struck him three tremendous blows With a
maule, one upon the ribs, another upon the right temple,
and a third upon the back part of the head. A maule is
a wooden instrument, three-fourths of a yard in length,
and three inches in circumference, supplied to the paupers
for the purpose of breaking and crushing sand. The
blows immediately rendered Leeds insensible, in which
state he was removed to the surgery by two other inmates
of the house, both of whom witnessed the assault. The
unfortunate man by the aid of powerful restoratives re-
covered his faculties in the course of two or three hours;
and he became so well as to be able to appear against his
assailant at the police-court, where he was conveyed in
a coach. The circumstances were deposed to before
the stipendary magistrate, who, in the first instance,
ordered the prisoner to be committed for trial at the
assizes, but Mr. Graham, the surgeon, stating that the
temporal bone was fractured, and the patient's life in
considerable danger, he was remanded until the issue is
known.

The Swiss Council of education has demanded that
smoking shall be forbidden to youth; they consider the
practice to be useless; in bad taste, injurious to health,
expensive, and hazardous to the public edifices, ,which
are in constant danger from •.,e sparks thrown about by
smokers.
