COURT CIRCULAR.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge left town
on Monday for Richmond Park, the residence of her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester.
Yesterday was the birth-day of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert. The day was ushered in, and was
observed with the usual demonstrations of respect. In
the evening his Royal Highness's tradesmen illuminated
their houses.

Dispatches from the Governor of Ceylon, and from
the Mauritius, were received yesterday at the Colonial-
office. Dispatches were also received yesterday after-
noon from the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian
Islands, and from the Governor of Malta.

THE
ofLouis
COLOSSEUM.Lo
A splendid bust Philippe—splendid as a
work of art, and most life-like as a portrait—has been
recently placed in the Glyptotheca, or Hall of Sculpture,
of this establishment. The season is over, and all the
world is out of town—at least, so complain the shop-
keepers; and the streets and parks bear testimony to the
truth of their complaint ; but enter the Colosseum
either by night or by day, and you begin to doubt
whether the season is not at its height. This most at-
tractive of exhibitions continues to be crowded—coun-
try cousins and foreigners hasten hither to see the
microcosm of London, and old stagers, who remember
London before the days of New London-bridge, con-
gregate together here to enjoy the pleasures of memory
—to gaze once more on the picturesque narrow-arched
Old London-bridge, and to relate to their juniors "auld
world tales" of the perils they have run "in their hot
youth" in shooting the centre arch. True, the London
season is over, but the Colosseum season is perennial,
and we wonder not at it. No other capital in the world
can boast an exhibition that can for one moment be
put in comparison with it. It stands alone and unap-
proachable. Before any other nation can have a Colos-
seum as an exhibition, it must have a London for a
metropolis.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
This admirable exhibition of scientific models is now
enriched with numerous works of art, and among others
(a recent addition) a portrait of his Grace the Duke of
Wellington, painted by Mr. Solomons, from the
daguerrotypc process of M. Claudet, engraved by Mr.
T. Ilyall, engraver to the Queen. It is a curious
fact that, notwithstanding the length of time that has
elapsed since the daguerrotype portraits were intrc-
duced, no attempt has been made, until this portrait 9f

N
the Nob'e Duke was taken, to engrave from th *-1•10.64;0 - e--;
rotype, ur to make it subservient to the p 'l7
high art. •: •
SPORTING INTELLIGEN ik1;:
EGIIAM RACES—Yes•rxena v. is
Irrespective of the Cup, the racing yestm rday possess( wry
little interest, owing, we suspect, to the Committee, ittltbeie
anxiety to make sport, having divided their race-fund into such
small sums as to put good or full e• tries out of the question,
and make the stakes, after deducting travelling expenses, aad
the fees fur riding, weighing, entering, &c:, scarce worth the
winning. There was racing enough, it is true, but it is beyond
a doubt that the interests of the meeting would have been
fluite as effectually served had the public money been divided
into larger amuunts. This would probably have lessened the
number :.f heats—and we confess to no predilection. for them—
but the stak,Z, would have filled better, and there would have
been a sufficient'v of sport to satisfy any reasonable appetite.
The returns appeinle,4 will show that the running was not of
very exciting character ; but we give the officials credit for
having done all in their po-lret. to bring it to a close in good
time. The attendance was faL, enough for a first day, the
weather all that could be desired, arul the ground in very good

order.
