oblong building, with a portiico in front.
containing the statues Of the four ceIebra-

tasleflllly arranged. The interior how

of tho bnilding is truly splendid. Nothing
is a,ykwardly done aslin our theatres,
everything is arranged by machinery.-
The stage may be covered with scenery
and other things, but in an instant ali Is

hanflsosncst building in Berlin. II is built
[ round three sides OF square, leaving q
garden in The middle, and adorned with a
number Of stniues and frescoes. Next 10
the University is tho Academy, now much
defaced by time and The elements. The
whole street is thus lined with elegant
buildings, both public md private up 10
the Brandenbnrg Gate, which is consider
ed one Of the finest pieces of architecture
IN Germany. u is surmounied by q
bronze statue Of Victory. drawn in q car
ny four horses. This in the war with
with Napoleon was carried to Paris aud
brought back again. Passing through
this gate you arrive at the Park or Thier-
garter, which on Sunday afternoons is
