In asserting, that never before did it offer a, tithe of the attractions
t now presents. The Gardens have been complete'y renovated,
Statues and Fountain a introduced, new and extensive Promenades
formed, and the most lavish expenditure in every department,
will evince thc., Proprietor's anxiety to insure a continuance of public
Patronage.
THE NEW GRAND PICTORIAL MODEL OF

_ _ ....
---
LONDON IN THE OLDEN TIME!
Painted by Eanson and Telbin,
fa the most gigantic rictlievement ever yet produced, and fbr grandeur
of composition, fidelity of design, and beauty of execution, it far
exceeds any previous production. It sccurately represents ancient
London—Old St. Paul's-01t1 London Bridge—Baynard's Castle, and
all the principal Churches and Buildings of the locality, and may
with truth be designated the most wonderful production of mo-
dern times.

THE MENAGERIE, ALWAYS UNRIVALLED,
HAS RECEIVED MANY VALUABLE ADDITIONS.
To defy all competition, the Propriet.x has engaged the celebrated
AMERICAN DWAItF TJM THUMB!
now exhibiting at toe Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly.
The PROMENADE CONCERTS--the splendid Band of Fifty
Performers, conducted by Mr. Godfrey—will perform a selection of
the newest and most popular music.
The far-famed HIGHLAND DANCERS AND PIPERS are
also engaged, and will go through two acts of their National Dances,
which procured for them the distinguished approbation of her
Majesty and Prince Albert at Taymouth Castle.
And at Dusk will take place the most astounding exhibition ever
attempted, viz, a Representation of
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON,

Mr. Southby (to whom in justice belongs the appellation of "Fire
King") has exhausted the resources of his art, to give effect to this
exhibition. London Bridge, Old St. Paul's Cathedral, and other
Buildings will appear devoured by the devastating element, and
present a heap of blackened ruins, in accordance with the best
delineations taken at the period, and the coup d'ceil will give a vivid
representation of a Great City destroyed by fire.
