SECOND DAY.

There was again, this morning, a considerable rush of per-
sons into this Court the moment the doors were opened. Still
the crowd was not so great as on the first day—at all events,
in the earlier part of the morning. Doubtless the weather
had somewhat damped the curiosity even of the members of
the sporting community. Colonel Peel, who was not in Court
yesterday, was to-day upon the bench, as were many others
of the elite of the sporting and fashionable world. At ten
o'clock Baron Alderson took his seat upon the bench, and the
names of the jury being called over, the case proceeded. The
following is the evidence offered on behalf of the defendant,
Colonel Peel, the owner of Orlando, the horse placed second
in the race. As the first portion of it was not published in
our Afternoon Edition of yesterday, we think it best to re-
peat it here :
Lord Stradbroke, examined by Mr. J. S. WORTLEY—WaS
one of the stewards of the Jockey Club last year. He re-
membered the race on the 4th of June, when Running Rein
beat Crenoline at the-Newmarket meeting. Crenoline was the
property of the Duke of Rutland. The race was for two-

year- olds. The Duke made an objection after the race that
the winner was three years old. The stewards were Mr.
Byng and Mr. Greville. An arrangement wai made that the
case should be heard at the Houghton Meeting. An applica-
tion was made to examine the horse's mouth. The stewards
met and heard the case, and Mr. Goodman examined two or
three witnesses to prove Running Rein was only two years
old; the Duke of Rutland produced only one—the boy
Kitchen. It was arranged that the boy and a veterinary
surgeon, named Barrow, of Newmarket, and Mr. Wetherbv,
the Secretary, should be taken to Goodman's stables. The
horse was in a loose box; Kitchen looked at the horse, and
said at first he thought it was the horse, and then that he
believed it was. It was then proposed that Mr. Barrow
should examine the horse's mouth—he is a person of high
character—but Goodman objected positively to it, and gave
them to understand he would resist by force. He said
his legal adviser had advised him not to permit the
horse's mouth to be examined. They then returned to the
rooms where the stewards met, and he (Lord Stradbroke) re-
ported the result to the meeting. The stewards were of
opinion that though the Duke of Rutland bad not proved his
case, the case was one of suspicion. Goodman was told by
him (Lord Stradbroke) on the part of the stewards, that the
horse should never be allowed to run again at Newmarket
unless he permitted the examination of his mouth. The horse
had not since run at Newmarket.

By Baron ALDERsox—In forty-nine cases out of fifty the
mark of the mouth had been stated to be an erroneous test;
but lately he had understood it to be reduced to a certainty.
George Hayward, exhmined by Mr. Martin—He was laud-
agent to Sir Charles Ibbotson in 1840. Sir Charles had a
mare by Capsicum at that time. In 1840, that mare had a
foal by Gladiator, which was sent to Doncaster, to be sold by
Mr. Tattersall, in September, 1841. Had seen the colt sold.
Heard Mr. Goodman bid for him, but did not knowof his own
knowledge that it was he who bought him.
By Baron AmvmsoN—The colt was a bright bay, with legs
all black. He was a yearling.
Isaac Grey, examined by Mr. J. S. WonmEv—Was a
groom. In the spring of 1840 took a brown mare, by Capsi-
cum, to York, to a physician ; and while she was there she
dropped a foal on the 14th April, which, together with the
dam, was taken back to Sir G. Ibbotson's, the owner.
Edward Messenger, examined by Mr. MARTIN—Was in the
service of Sir Charles Ibbotson as stud-groom, from June,
1840, to September, 1843. Recollected the colt which the
Capsicum mare had; he was a bright bay colt, with black
tail and mane ; he had no white on him ; he stood short on
the legs with a lengthy top. He had a wide forehead and
good eyes ; but was rather a little thick in the jowl. He had
no white on his forehead. That colt was entered for the
Derby of 1843 by him. Was present when the colt was sold
at Doncaster, and delivered him to Goodman and Henry
Higgins on Thursday, September 16,1841.
Cross-examined by Mr. Cociintinzi—The colt was a fine
colt for its age. It did not stand high.
Re-examined by Mr. MAranc—He was a short-legged
colt. Witness had never seen him since, but he had no
doubt he should know him if he saw him again.
George Wharton, groom to Sir Charles Ibbotson, examined
by Mr. J. S. WoßmEr—Proved that he took the colt in
question to the Masborough station, on the North Midland
Railway, on the 17th of September, and delivered him to
Mr. Goodman, who went oil the London way.
Cross-examined by Mr. CocKsurix— Knew Mr. Goodman
'by sight very well. It was the day after one of the Don-
caster races he took the colt to the station.

Charles Weatherby, examined by Mr. MAnTrx—Was Se-
cretary to the Jockey Club, and kept, with his clerks, the
books for Epsom and Newmarket nominations. There was
an entry in his books of the entry of Gladiator, in the name
of Watson, for the Derby of 1843. That
,horse was after-
wards entered as Maccabeus for the Liverpool Cup in 1843;
the entries closed on or before the 2d January, 1843. Both
entrees were in the handwriting of the witnes's clerk. There
was forfeit of 5/. paid for the Liverpool Cup, which was paid
in Goodman's name by a Mr. Moffam, in the presence of
Goodman. It formed a portion of 45/. over-due stakes paid
on Goodman's account, to permit his horse Dr. Phillimore to
run, in accordance with the rules of the club.
oseph Farrell, examined by Mr. MARTIN—Was clerk to
the stewards of the Epsom races. Goodman entered his bay
colt Maccabeus for a sweepstake of 51. with fifty sovereigns
added, in April, 1843. The colt ran in that race, carrying
7st. as a three-year-old.
Cross-examined by Mr. CockminN—Captain Flathooker
was a bay horse.
Mr. Weatherby, re-examined by Mr. MARTlN—Running
Rein was first entered for a sweepstakes of 50 sovereigns to
run at Newmarket First Spring Meeting, 1844. The next
entry was for the Derby; it was made at Newmarket on or
before the last day of the July Meeting, 1842. The third
entry was for the Second October Meeting at Newmarket,
1843, for the 2,000 guineas Clearwell Stakes, to be run for in
the spring of 1844. He was also entered for a5O guineas
stake at the Abingdon Mile, in October, 1843. The horse
did not run at the Houghton Meeting. The meeting took
place on the Thursday after the decision of the stewards
alluded to by Lord Stradbroke.

The evidence for the defence, thus far, was given last
evening. Whilst the first witness was being sworn this
morning, _ _ _

Mr. -COCKBURN, addressing the Court, said—My Lord,
after what passed yesterday with respect to the production of
the horse, I feel bound to place myself at once in the hands of
yotir.Lordship.
Baron ALDERSON—I 'am quite sure, Mr. Cockburn, it must
be your wish to produce the horse.
Mr. COCKBURN—Certainly, my Lord; and, if I could do
so, it should be done in a moment. I have felt it was the
bounden duty of the plaintiff, after the view which your
Lordship took of the case, to have produced the horse. In
that view, permit me to say, my Lord, that my client, Mr.
Wood, completely concurs. 'Most completely does he partici-
pate in my feelings.
Baron ALDERSON—NO doubt he does, if he's an honest man.
Mr. COCKBURN—I will only state this, and I feel it my
duty to Mr. Wood to do so. The horse has been taken away
—(Great sensation in the Court)—taken away, my Lord. I
have Mr. Wood's most solemn assurance that the horse has
been taken away without his sanction, approbation, or know-
ledge. Ile never gave his approbation of this step—he never
knew anything whatever about it until after it was done.
Baron ALDEnsoN—Gone away, and without his know-
ledge

Sir. CocKnunN—The horse was taken away, and it was
followed to a place where we were informed it had been
taken ; but since it was brought leack it has again been
removed.

Baron ALDErsoN—And pray, why did you not send for
the police ?—(A laugh in the body of the Court.) Why, who-
ever has taken the horse away is guilty of horse stealing.
Yes—and if I had the trying of the persons who took the
horse away, let me tell you I would transport them for life
to a dead certainty.
Mr. ComisußN—The question at present is a very painful
one. I suppose Mr. Wood, under the circumstances and the
disadvantage of his position—
Baron ALDERSON-Why, if Goodman is against Wood, and
if he has been a party to what has been going on about the
taking away of this horse, then, no doubt, there is a case of
horse stealing for the Central Criminal Court, and to that
Court you ought to go.
Mr. COCKBURN-I hardly know what course to pursue
under the present very--
Baron ALDERSON-Of course you don't, Mr. Cockburn.
You are desired to produce the horse—you can't produce the
horse.

Mr. CocKuurs—Cartainly, I feel, my Lord, as if it were
vain to struggle against the view taken by the Court. I can
only say on the part of Mr. Wood, that he perfectly agrees
in the propriety of the course laid down by the Court, and I
have his solemn assurance that he would produce the horse
if he could. The horse however has been twice removed, and
he is not in a situation therefore to produce it.
Baron ALDEnsoN—Well, and what is to be the result of all
this.

Mr. Com:tuns—lt is my own conviction and the convic-
tion of my Learned Brothers that without Mr. Wood's con-
sent the horse has been taken away, and that in such a state
of things we can hardly hope to struggle against the impres-
sion upon the Court, which such an act must necessarily
produce.
Baron- ALnErtsoN—Well ; it's not for me to say what you
are to do. There was an ancient case, Mr. Cockburn, in
which a poor boy found a diamond supposed to be of great
value. lie carried that diamond to a jeweller, who kept it.
An indictment was found against that jeweller for detention.
of the diamond; it came to a trial—and the jury in their ver-
dict found that the diamond was of the first water because,
Mr. Cockburn, the jeweller declined to produce it to the
Court.

Mr. COCKBURN—I see the effect of what you state, my
Lord, and I saw the effect that must follow when the pro-
duction of the horse was required, unless the order were com-
plied with.
Baron ALDERSON—The truth is out already up to a cer-
tain point. But the pinch of the case is this—what horse
was delivered to Haines. The question is, did Cobb's colt
go from Bean's to Haines's, and become Running Rein.
Mr. COCKBURN--4 am in the hands of the Court, my
Lord.

Baron ALDERsort—Oh, do just what you please. You say
it is impossible to produce the horse.
The Soucrron-GENERAL—We are quite prepared to go
on, my Lord, with the case, and to show who and what the
horse really was that won the Derby.
Baron ALDERSON—I saw from the beginning that was the
whole point—the only point. I shall proceed to lay before
the jury the evidence as it is, if you wish it (addressing him-
self to Mr. Cockburn) ; and I am ready to go on and hear
more, just as you like.
Mr. Cockburn, " much perplexed," after a moment's hesi-
tation, sat down, and the crier again called into the box
George Worley, examined by Mr. WORTLEY—I farm my
own property at Siwell, near Northampton. In 1841 I was
at Doncaster races. Goodman was pointed out to me. I
saw Higgins there. He lives near Northampton. At Don-
caster something was said by Higgins about sending a colt
to me. I came home on the Tuesday in the Doncaster week.
That was the 14th of September, 1843. A few days after-
wards I received a colt from Mr. Higgins. I received a pe-
digree with him. It was a bay foal ;no star in his forehead ;
no white at all, except a small grey hair or so ; this was
between his eyes. A servant of mine, named Pinney, went
with me to Northampton to fetch him. I was at Epsom the
last Derby. I saw the horse called Running Rein. Before
the horse started I got off my own horse and examined him.
I have not the least shadow of a doubt that the horse
called Running Rein was the same horse I had under my
care. I said so at the time. I saw Mr. Goodman at Epsom.
During the time the horse was at my place, at Siwell, he was
kept in a paddock. He was a very cheerful horse. Jumping
over a wall or hedge he hurt himself between the knee and
the arm, on the near fore-leg. He had a scar, A veterinary
surgeon named; Gurling attended him. The horse when I
saw him at Epsom had the scar. He has it now. I have
frequently seen Higgins about the horse. He was christened
at my house. He was got by Gladiator, and Higgins looked
into a book and found the word Spartacus, and he was so
christened.—(Laughter.) Afterwards his name was changed
to Maccabeus.

Cross-examined by Mr. CocKnumr—l have not one shilling
upon the race, nor one shilling upon the horse in any way.
Re-examined by Mr. WORTLEY—HON came you to get off
your horse on purpose to examine him at Epsom? Witness
—Why, I thought I should like to see him again.—(A laugh.)
Mr Odell frequently saw the colt in my paddock.
George Odell, examined by Mr. MAnTrN—I am a horse-
dealer at Northampton.. I know Henry Higgins, living at
Vigo Cottage, near Northampton. Know Mr. Worley. Ia

October or November, 1841, I saw a bay colt at his house.
Mr. Worley himself showed me the horse.. He was a bay
colt, well made, good looking, black legs, 15 hands and. a
little more, good head, strong in his quarters. I went several
times afterwards to Mr. Worley. Almost every time I went
there I saw the colt. I saw the injury. It was a cut above
the near knee. I afterwards saw the colt in Northampton.
That was in February. It was at Mr. Higgins's, the Vigo
Stables. I saw him once there, but several times out at exer-
cise. I saw him as late as April. The man who led him
about was named Jacques, but he is now dead. I know a
paddock at Northampton, of which Mr. Markham had the
letting. I saw the colt there. This was the spring of 1842.
He continued there to the end of the summer. He had a fresh
accident. The same leg—a little lower down on the side of the
knee. I was at Epsom at the last Derby. I went there with
Mr. Worley. I saw the horse there called Running Rein. I
got off the horse and went close to him with Mr. Worley. I
will swear that was the same colt I saw at Northampton. I
saw both the injuries on his leg. I will swear most distinctly
to the colt being the same.
Baron ALDERSON—Who is it keeps this horse away—who
is it ? On the Thursday I make an order for the horse to be
seen, and on the Wednesday it has vanished from the face of
the earth !

Mr. CocKmins—lndeed, my Lord, we know not. I think
I may be allowed to tell your Lordship that before ever this
action came into Court Mr. Wood told Col. Peel he was
afraid he had been deceived in the representations made to
him about the horse. I assure your Lordship Mr. Wood's
character stands high.
Baron ALDERSON—I don't doubt it.

Mr. COCKBUItN—He bought the horse fairly and honour••
ably—took it with all its engagements. He now sees the ne-
cessity he is under of withdrawing from this case. He feels
he ought not to attempt to carry it further, and he will not
do so.
Baron ALDERSON—WeII

Mr. CocKnunx—Permit me, my Lord, one moment. May
I venture to say a few words upon a subject which has
immediate reference to this case and which has been the
cause of giving offence to an individual now in this Court.
My Lord, I have received a communication from Lord
George Bentinck, couched in terms
Baron ALnEnsoN—What—couched in terms
Mr. CocKnunN—ln terms, my Lord, of perfect courtesy.

Baron .ArmEnsox—Go on, Cockburn.
Mr. Comnunx—Couched in terms of perfect courtesy, and
in a tone perfectly unexceptionable. In that communication
his Lordship complains that I have made a charge with'
respect to his conduct, and that I have not put him in the
witness box, where the opportunity would be best afforded of
substantiating that charge or of proving its utter injustice. My
Lord, my instructions were clear, specific, positive ; my instruc-
tions declared that he had pursued no middle course even,
but one of an extreme and an astonishing character. That
he had tampered with the witnesses it was proposed to call
before the Court. That to some he had held out threats—to
others promises. That throughout the whole of these pro-
ceedings, from the very moment of their commencement to
the period of their opening in this Court, he had made the
greatest personal exertions, and had used his personal in-
fluence amongst the witnesses and other parties in a way and
to a degree winch would naturally subject him, if true, to
the severest reprehension. Nay, my instructions asserted as
fact, that even his Lordship's own residence, Harcourt House,
had been made subservient to the purposes of tampering
with my client's witnesses. That therein some of the
witnesses had been lodged and fed, and that therefrom one of
them had been taken by his Lordship's own valet, and by his
Lordship's own directions, to a tailor, in order to be clothed.
Pecuniary promises, I was also instructed, had been directly
made by his Lordship. Not merely were these my instruc-
tions, but I was directed to call as a witness a person from
whom, I was advised, every one of these facts it would be my
duty to extract and elicit. And I was instructed specially, if
these things were denied, or failed in proof, to call such a body.
of witnesses as would place them beyond the chance even of
a doubt in the minds of the jury. These, my Lord,
were my instructions. Under these circumstances, and
his . Lordship, in fact (being the prime mover in
the case—and this neither his Lordship, . nor m
Learned Friend's counsel on the opposite side wish to deny,
I thought it better, fairer, more proper, that these matters
should be introduced by me at once, in order that my Learned
Friend, the Solicitor-General, should know them at once,
rather than that I should introduce them at an after period,
when they could not have the same notice, or their justice
and application be so thoroughly sifted. Lord George Ben
-
thick was subpoenaed by us, because it was said that Mr.
Carter would be called on the other side; therefore we have
bad no opportunity of doing that of which his Lordship com-
plains—of putting him in the box—or it certainly would
have been done. I must state that Lord George
,Bentinck makes no complaint whatever of the privilege
allowed to counsel ; on the contrary, he states that
he honours and respects it, and holds it essential to the in-
dependence and utility of the bar. His Lordship complains
not of the charges made—he complains that by not having
been put into the witness-box, he has had no opportunity af-
forded him of rebutting them. I have made this statement be-
cause I think it my duty to set myself right with Lord G. Ben-
tinck by telling him clearly and explicitly what were the in-
structions I received, and to give to his Lordship this opportu-
nity—or any other he may think a better or more appro-
priate one—of giving a denial to them.
Baron ALDERSON—But I don't think anything is required.
You, Mr. Cockburn, acted upon your instructions ; and
counsel must, without hesitation and without scruple, state
to the Court and jury that which it appears to them proper
for the interest of their clients, however high in station may
be the parties of whom they are speaking. I have not seen
anything which trangressed the proper rules, according to the
instructions you received.
Mr. COCKRURN—I am bound to say, my Lord, that Lord
George Bentinck, does not complain of that. On the con-
trary, his Lordship states his high sense of the value to
society of the thorough independence of the Bar.
Baron ALDERSON—I am quite sure nothing has been said
by you that could give ground for a charge of impropriety in
the conduct of your case.
Mr. WORTLEY (second counsel for Col. Peel, the Solicitor-
General having left the Court)—There is no complaint of the
kind made by us, my Lord.
Baron ALuEusoN-011, uo ; no ground for it. Lord George
Bentinck was most anxious to work out the truth. Nothing
more can be said.

Mr. WonmEy—No person feels more than Lord George
Bentinck, the value of the liberty of the English bar. I
may add, however, that the fullest refutation would have
been given to the instructions of my Learned Friend Mr.
Cockburn, and to every insinuation that has gone forth to
the prejudice of my Noble Friend, but for the abrupt termi-
nation of this trial. But for this circumstance, every charge,
or supposed charge even, against Lord George Bentinck,
would have been fully and clearly contradicted.
Baron ALDERSON—It's not necessary. (Turning to the
jury)—Gentlemen of the Jury—This is a case which I have
listened to with a great degree of sorrow and disgust, for to
my mind it is clear that a most atrocious fraud has been prac-
tised. I have seen, with great regret, that some gentlemen
of high standing in society have gone and associated them-
selves with fellows infinitely below them in rank and cha-
racter ; and can any one wonder at the result ? If gentlemen
would race with gentlemen then such practices as have been
exposed would not exist • but if they will condescend to race
with persons so much below them then must they condescend
also to be cheated. You will find a verdict for the defendant.

Mr. WoRTLEy—The verdict, my Lord, according to the
agreed terms of the action, is to carry the stakes.
Baron AwEusoN—Well, I believe the conditions were so.
Still you had better mention that matter before me at
Chambers.

The judge then retired; and the sporting world (as usual)
very soon left the Exchequer empty.

SIR JAMES GRAHAM AND THE

POST-OFFICE.

On Monday evening a large meeting was held at Saville
House, Leicester-square. It was convened for the purpose of
considering the conduct of Sir James Graham, relative to
the breaking open of letters. The large hall was densely
crowded long before the time announced for the commence-
ment of the proceedings. A majority of the persons present
were tradesmen of St. Anne's, St. Martin's, and the adjacent
parishes. About 1,600 persons were present.
It was announced that Captain Pechell, M.P., would take
the chair, but the Hon. Member was compelled to leave town,
and sent a letter, apologising for his non-attendance.
Mr. SYME presided, and offered some preliminary remarks
on the subject for which the meeting had been called, and
which has engaged the attention of the people from one end
of the country to the other. The manner in which this pro-
ceeding of Sir James Graham had been received, would
afford him, and all who would follow his example, an oppor-
tunity of knowing that there was a limit beyond which the
patience of the people would not go.—(Hear, hear.) To-
morrow evening the subject would be brought before the
House of Commons by Mr. Duncombe, and he trusted that
all who felt strongly on this subject,whether in or out of Par-
liament, would render the Hon. Member for Finsbury their
hearty and undivided support.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CLuEn eulogised the conduct of Mr. Thomas Dun-
combe, contrasting him with " the border slough hound " of
Cumberland.—(Laughter and cheers.) When he (Mr.
Cluer) first knew the present Home Secretary, he professed
himself a Radical, and appeared to be sincere in the advocacy
of his opinions. At that time the Right Hon. Baronet, with
the present Lord Brougham, visited the cottages of the poor,
seeking their support in the promotion of liberalism. Such
was Sir James Graham some years since; but no sooner did
place and power appear to his view, than away went his poli-
tical opinions—away went his liberal sentiments—and the
Right Hon. Baronet became a Tory of the first water. From
step to step in tyranny the Home Secretary had gone on,
until by his recent conduct in opening letters addressed to
privateindividuals he had brought upon himself such a storm
of indignation that he would not soon get rid of.—(Hear.)
Mr. Cluer concluded by proposing a resolution supporting
Mr. Duncombe in his attempts to put an end to such tyranny
as that practised by the Home Secretary.
Mr. STALLIVOOD seconded the resolution, which was put
to the meeting, and carried by acclamation.
Mr. O'Corrxon moved the second resolution :—" That this
meeting considers that Mr. Duncombe, by his having so
fearlessly and magnanimously exposed the base, ignoble con-
duct of the Home Secretary, in having opened, without
special warrant, the letters of peaceable and innocent indivi-
duals, has rendered essential service to the British public, to
whose confidence and gratitude he is eminently entitled."
That resolution expressed strongly his own opinion on the
subject of Sir James Graham's conduct. It had been alleged
that, in what he had done, Sir James Graham had acted
legally and constitutionally. There certainly was a law
which might be twisted into an exculpation of his conduct.
If the people of the age in which that law was passed were
base enough to submit to it, the people of the present day
would be determined to oppose it—they would be determined
no longer to submit to the infliction.—(Hear.) During the
last few weeks many letters of his had been opened, and
only a few days since three letters were delivered to
him, every one of which had been previously opened at
the Post-office, and carefully re-sealed. There was a
sanctity in a private letter, and any honest man
would rather cut his finger off than break the seal of
a letter to which he had no claim. The system attempted
to be introduced was a most dangerous one, and, so long as
he had life and energy, he would not cease to exert himself
to uproot it.—(Cheers.) The whole blame of this foul trans-
action had been cast upon Sir James Graham. Let the
country remember, however, that " Qui facit per alium facit
per se," and then some of the odium would be cast upon the
leader of the administration. If Sir Robert Peel determined
on keeping a malicious dog, let him be responsible for any
injury he might inffict.--(Hear, and cheers.)
Mr. CUFFAY, in seconding the resolution, trusted that the
people of this country would never allow the present Govern-
ment to be at peace until they were completely ashamed of
•
their atrocity. That Sir James Grahamear s)vouTldheevseoor be made
ade
ashamed was perhaps visionary.—(llthe
modern Fouche was ousted from the Cabinet, the better for
the interests of the country.
The Rev. Dr. WADE offered some appropriate remarks in
support of Mr. O'Connor's resolution, which was put to the
meeting, and carried without a dissentient voice.
Resolutions denouncing the conduct of Sir J. Graham were
agreed to, after which a petition was framed for presentation
to the House of Commons, and received numerous signatures.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting dis-
persed, after a long sitting.

ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDEN&
Daylight View of
LONDON in the OLDEN TIME!

Painted by Danson and Telbin.
The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond 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 most 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 gu ;et Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa-
cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Man 'aye, Tues-
days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 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 FIRE OF LONDON.
. .

Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic
Alt, that delight is predominant over terror; and the thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, has achieved a matchless
triumph.
The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect
state, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far
the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis.
