LONDON la the OLDEN TIME!

Painted by Danson and Teibin.
The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is bey end all
former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the moat wonderful 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-
cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, conducted by Mr.
Godfrey, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words
fail in doing justice to the awful representation of
THE GREAT pint: OF LONDON.
Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so beautifully blended with the %onders of the Pyrotechnic
Alt, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands
wtso nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, has achieved a matchless
less triumph.
The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect
state, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far
she most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis.
