MR. LAIDL A W begs to intimate to those who wish to view
his universally admired PANORAMA, which displays
not only the City, hut all the interesting Stations mentioned in
Scripture within twenty miles of it, that it will shortly be re-
moved from Liverpool. This Panorama was visited by nearly
the whole of the adult population at Manchester, Leeds, Shef-
field, York, and Hull.
" It would be a pity if this Panorama were allowed to leave
any town without being seen by every
.person who can afford
the very small charge made for admission. It is a subject
highly gratifying to those of mature age, and a delightful treat
to tht; rising generation."—Manchester Times.
The VIEWS of CAPTAIN ROSS'S VOYAGES, where be
passed four years, and his happy rescue; the BOULEVARDS
of PARIS,'FIESCHI FIRING OFF THE MACHINE,
form also a part of the Panorama.

BY PERMISSION OF THE RIGHT WORSHIPFUL
THE MAYOR.
UI*OER ?HA DISTINGUISHED AND PERMANENT PATRONAGE

OF THE UNIVERsITIES OP OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE.

firllTE' Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liverpool, are
_IL most respectfully invited to visit and examine the asto-
nishing production of Nature, the Stupendous-.
SKELETON OF THE ROYAL GIGANTIC WHALE,
Now EXHIBITED IN QUEEN'S-SQUARE.
The Proprietor deems it wholly unnecessary to attempt any
description of the amazing gigantic native of the Sea, whose
wonderful size, strength, and character (so far as description
can go) are so well known to every reader of Natural History,
who must have been struck with astonishment and admiration
on reading the various accounts of the \Vhale, not only by the
Historian, but by the adventurous Voyagers in the Northern
Seas. It may be truly observed, however, that'no written ac-
count can furnish any adequate idea of the enormous frame of
the creature, every bone and joint of which is a wonder in
itself! It is nu exaggeration to say that it must be seen to be
understood; and even to be believed. The examination of the
Skeleton now offered for, public inspection must impress every
mind with a sacred sense of the boundless power of the Creating
Hand that produced all the living wonders of the Earth, from
the minutest insect to the magnanimous monarch of the ocean.
The \Vhale, of which the Skeleton isnow to be seen, was Found
off the Coast of Plymouth, in October, 1831, and then Weighed
118,0001b5., and measured in length 102 feet, circumference 75
feet.
The Proprietor feels that, on inviting the Public to view a
curiosity so interesting to all who admire the amazing produc-
tion of Nature ; he should not do justice to himself if he were
to descend to the too common modes of endeavouring to attract
the crowd by extraordinary assurance of success; but he respect-
fully begs to state that the Skeleton has been visited by many
Thousands in various parts of the Country, and that every
visitor has been astonished and gratified beyond all expectation.
Admission—Gentry Is. ; Tradespeople, Servants, and
Children 6d. each.
