THE COLOSSEUM.

This extraordinary work is weekly amazingly im-
proving. The panoramic views of London, and all the prominent
stations within ten miles of It, may now be said to be finished, and
in a style of minute accuracy that is, even in this wonderful age,
most truly wonderful. It is now pretty universally known that
the views of London are supposed to be seen from the gallery at
the top of &. The spectators look down Ludgate-hill, over
Paternoster-row, St.Rartholurnew's, and the New Post (Mice; nett
at the preparations for the New London Bridge; then at the Lord
Mayor's show on the Thames, with ail the smoky woaderments and
Metropolitan improvement. to be seen along Southwark, by the
Waterloo Bridge. and at the West end, by no means °adult% the
Regent's Park, heretofore the " Mary-h-bonne Fields." These
thousands of views, and collected within such limited space, may
fairly be pronounced to constitute the most extraordinary work of
modern enterprise ; in spite of the ponderosity and immense va-
riety of the building, we speak of " limited space," because, large
as Is the Panorama, the extent and variety of the views still excite
amazement. There were, we were glad to perceive, crowds of per.
sons, on Friday, Saturday, and yesterday, to contemplate the magic
wonders and daring enterprise of this extraordinary building, and
the extraordinary extent of the efforts made to carry the original
ideas into execution.

The " Woos of Arts" is also now far advanced towards
perfection. The tables and recesses are tastefully prepared,
and along the Saloon there are some good specimens of sculp-
ture.

The collection of plants Is much improved, and the view is now
aided by a delightfully variegated fountain ; and the artificial rocks,
precipices. with stumps of trees and portions of plants growing in
the interstices, and at the craggy points, are making singularly suc-
cessful progress. The visitors seemed much struck with the
wonders of the place.

The fair daughter of Lady STEWART (sister to the
Countess of Annuoues) will. it Is said, be led to the hymeneal altar
by Diem Battu', FA+ in the course of the present month. A
magnificent service of plate has been ordered on the occasion.
A new building, to be called " The Pitt library," is
about to be erected at Cambridge, out of the surplus of the fund
subscribed for a statue to that distinguished ornament of the Uni-
versity.
It has been ascertained, from official returns, that the
proportion both of births and deaths, in the kingdom of the Ne-
therlands, is larger by unt-tenth in the winter than in the summer
months.

ELECTION OF A REPRESENTATIVE PEER FOR
In:Anti--The Right lion. Ricuan, Earl of Glengall, has been
elected a Representative Peer, in the room of Cuanza Joon, Earl
of Blessington, deceased.
A curious fact has transpired this week : Lord Lay raw(
Gown, it appears, has nominated himself to a snug sinecure on the
Irish Ketablivhment. By the death of the late Lord Conon:ea,
who held the situation of Keeper of the Irish Privy Seal, my Lord
Levan Gowns claps himself plump into the situation, and is at
this moment in the quiet enjoyment of its emoluments, which ate
understood to be pretty considerable.—Standard.
From the number of ottomans, couches, sofas, &c. in
the Oriental Club.M►uae, and the Eastern habits indulged in by
the members, the latter have acquired in other clubs the nickname
of the" Horizontals."
