ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS,
Daylight View of
LONDON in the OLDEN TIME!
Painted by Danson and Teibin.
The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond al.
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.
bib tion 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, this day, To.
morrow, Wednesday, and Thursday, 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 fearflal chsracteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so beautifully blended with the V. onclers of the Pyrotechnic
Alt, that delight is predominant over terror; anti the Thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, hn achieved a matchless
les; 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 t!le metropolis.
On To. Morrow, June 18, 1844 (the Anniversary of the Battle of
Waterloo), the Royal South London Floricultural Society will hold
their first Grand Miscellaneous Flower Show. On which occasion
es addition to the usual prizes of Gold and Slyer Medals, &c.,
several extra prizes will be given.

LONDON, AIONDAy7.II4uN 17, 1844.

A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday for the
discussion of important State affairs. This is the
general report, and the report also states that the Ca-
. binet was summoned to take into consideration the
" untoward" division in the Commons on tl e Sugar
Duties Bill. Shortly after the breaking up of the Cabi-
net, Sir ROBERT PEEL proceeded to the Palace, and
we have heard walked all alone in a very pensive
mood, looking neither right nor left, evidently ab-
sorbed in some matter of no ordinary importance.
-The same report states
,that he tendered his resigna-
tion to her MAJESTY. 'Phis is possible ; and, what is
more, it is a consummation that every friend of liberty
would wish to see realised. Sir R. PEEL is too liberal
for his colleagues and the motley crew that installed
him Prime Minister. With the exception, perhaps,
of Mr. GLADSTONE, he has no free trader in the
Cabinet—he has no friend of Ireland—he has no man
of sterling Liberal politics—and he has been obliged
to fight the battle alone to carry out the principles of
the Reform Bill, and to adopt the practice of the
Executive to a system which the old Tories detest,
and which the new race, called Conservatives, regard
with almost equal horror. Let him resign. 'What
can they do without him ? What man can the
Tories put at their head ? BUCKINGHAM, or Ricn-
BOND, or STANLEY ! These are the only names that
even the ultra-Tories can suggest; and with all the
power of the Church to support STANLEY, and all the
monopolists backing the two Dukes, the New Har-
mony would be brought to a close in one month.
4.EINS-1" .181A.AOBERT PEEL sees his way. He sees that the
~--7---'--11:efoKin Bill, with all its defects, has produced a
greakievclution, and that he must obey it. For this
• be 4es4ves every praise; but the blind bigots by
whomhe is surrounded look upon him as a traitor,
-while lie is the only man that can save them from
destruction. He has been deserted by all
fae, Tory journals except one—a fact highly
