Loch, as it formerly existed, the Calton Hill, Nelson's Monument,
Arthur's Seat, Salisbury Craggs, the Castle, Sir Walter Scott's Monu-
ment, the Royal Institution, Holyrood Palace, and all the most inter-
esting features of " Auld Reekie."
The Proprietor had the honour of submitting the Model to his
Royal Highness Prince Albert, and he is delighted to say it met with
his most decide and perfect approval, and from the more than usual
care which has been observed in its execution, he points it out as the
happiest production of Mr. Danson's pencil. The drawings were
made by Mr. Danson on the spot, and present a bird's-eye view of
the principal objects of the Old and New Town, the Firth of Forth, &c.
The PROMENADE CONCERTS, so decidedly popular at this
Establishment, will this season be on an unusually effective scale. Mr.
GODFREY has been occupied since the close of last summer, in com-
posing and arranging a varied and pleasing succession of superior

ginal Pieces by Foreign Composers, not yet performed in this country.
At Dusk will take place the most extraordinary Exhibition of
FIREWORKS ever attempted. The entire of the Gigantic Model
will be Illuminated. The different devices in front of the houses, the
fires on the Calton Hill, Arthur's Seat, and the surrounding Moun-
tains, the illumination of Nelson's Monument, and all the rejoicings
which took place on her Majesty's Visit will be accurately pour-
trayed. And, as a Finale, a grand Aquatic Royal and Patriotic
Tableau, Fifty Feet In Height, will be exhibited in the centre of the
Lake 1 The Portraits of her Majesty and Prince Albert, surmounted

troduced. The Tableau designed and executed by Mr. Danson.
Mr. Southby has been occupied for months in giving effect to this
matchless and superb design, which combined with the Feux D'Arti-
flee, the Salute and Discharge of Rockets from the Castle and sur-
rounding heights, will form the most brilliant Pyrotechnic Display
ever witnessed.

Five ; Concert, at Six; and Pyrotechnic, Display at Nine.
Admission. One Shilling.

JONATHAN SHARP; OIL, THE ADVENTURES OF A
KENTUCKIAN, WRITTEN BY HIMSELF.—After Colonel
Crocket and Sam Slick, we sadly wanted a new specimen
of an American literary hero, and Jonathan Sharp has
done wisely in presenting himself as an adventurer of a
different type to those with which we are already fami-
liar. Our Kentuckian has gone through a series of ad-
ventures of the most exciting character, in Cuba, in 1
Mexico, in Texas, among various tribes of Indians in the
neighbourhood of the States, as well as some of a less
startling nature in Europe, and has written his history
partly %ith the object of displaying to his countrymen
the deplorable state in which society exists among them,
and partly to make the European reader acquainted with
the true state of affairs in Texas, &c. His narrative is
w3rthy of De Foe. It is full of romance from beginning

DEPARTURE OF THE BRITANNIA.—The royal mail
steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewitt, sailed from the Mersey on
Saturday, for Halifax and Boston; with a large number of pas_
sengers and the usual semi-monthly mail. The new arrangement
for the transmission of the Canadian mail from Boston to Montreal
--instead of, as formerly, from Halifax—came into operation on
Thursday last. Saturday's mail will, therefore, be the first dis-
!Abed the AM route through the United States.
