"The scene surpasses in brilliancy of effect every Exhibition

hommedan'Paradise of the Palaces of Genii; and is, in short,
the realization of that Eastern splendour with which we have
hitherto been only verbally familiar. The countless number of

experienced to be understood."—Times.
he scene was very beautiful; the effect fully realising that
of the Palace of the Genii, in the "Arabian Nights." The
Chinese music was considerably superior to any of European
Manufacture we have lately heard.—Morning Chronicle.
At the Chinese Collection, the public have an opportunity of
spending a " Night in China." The large saloon is decorated
with a countless number of variegated Lanterns, which pro-
duced a most enchanting effect, and gave a splendour to the
scene that could not be equalled by any Feast of Lanterns
Within the Celestial Empire itself.—Morning Post.

DOCK OMNIBUSES.
lAPPEAL TO THE PUBLIC OF LIVERPOOL.
N consequence of there having long existed great
want of accommodation by Omnibuses along the line of
Locks, and there appearing every likelihood that it would
etreptually remunerate any individual who would risk capital
in such an undertaking, JOHN GATES commenced, a few
weeks back, giving the accommodation at the lowest possible
fares, viz., Threepence each, and the Public hailed it with much
Satisfaction; but just when he should reap his reward a con-
.„BPiracy is formed by certain CAR PROPRIETRS d
RRIVERS, for the openly-avowed intention of ruOnning b anis
Omnibuses off the road—not because the fare is exhorbitant,
°T. th2.t there is lack of accommodation, but merely because
Omnibus accommodation is not agreeable to them. JOHN
ATE",, therefore, is compelled to appeal to the Public for their
.11!PPort. He has now THREE OMNIBUSES running Six
'ales in the Hour along the whole line of Docks, which give
ample accommodation; he therefore trusts encouragement will
4ucee be given to those who are using every means to prevent his
s.

111.4• G.- begs to thank ,his Friends forpast favours, and to re-
, lad them that, to prevent mistakes, his name is placed
tillPicuous/y on his Omnibuses; and hopes that as they wait
the Punctual time for starting, he will not be a loser thereby,
e oPposition running generally just before his.
