THE P(ECIT,OffA NI A.

We were much gratified on Saturday, by a sight of the Peel-
lorama, a series of views,w Melt were on private view, at the Egyp t ian
Hall, Piccadilly, previous to their public exhibition. These views
are seven in number, and are made visible to the spectator through •
the medium 4 three diamond-shaped panes of glass, in each of
seven winticsrs, the other panes being darkened, as well as the
room in which they are to be exhibited.' We found it somewhat
difficult to obtain a sight of several of them, in consequence of the
number of friends of the Proprietor present, who had been
to inspect them, and from the unwarrantable length of time parties
chose to keep possession of their stations; as front the nature of
the views, and the circumscribed position in which they were
placed, only three persons could view each scene at the same time,
and there were pethaps not less than from fifteen totwenty persons
generally in waiting to obtain a view of those most interesting.—
These were a moonlight scene of Netley Abbey—and another of
Rouen. In the former, the moon *as seen in full majesty, rising
throngh one of the gothic windows of the Abbey, till she v.tas
to the view, and day-light regularly approached. In the latter. Cll•
sky became occasionally darkened, with the appearance of rsf::.,
accompanied by a very vivid rainbow, which was reflected on the
river Seine beneath, and ultimately succeeded by strut-shine, which
bad a very pleasing and novel effect.
The other subjects exhibited are—
Turin, taken from the Church of the Superga, built on a hill
about five miles from Turin.

Holy Island, with a shipwreck.
Exterior of the Castle of Chilion, taken from the road to Vint-
peeve.

London in 1590, taken from the south side of the Thames, with
the bridge covered with houses as it then appeared ; and
The interior of the Castle of Chilton, in the aisle of which the re

considered as a must excellent likeness of that departed Nobleman.
