THE PASoRANA.-Beale's Panorama of the
searches for Sir John Franklin, is now on ex-
hibiuon at Odd Fellows Hall. The scenes
were taken from the drawings and descriptions
OF DR.. Kane, who accompanied the Grinnell
expedition, and who now is in the Arctic Seas.
Inc representations of ieebergs, the employ
ment OF the explorers, the effect Of sun and
moon on surrounding objects. lighting them
with nch and yariegated tints, the perils en-
eountered by the hardy sailors, shipwreck and
IRE, and other incidents, are wildly depicted !;
not mere daubs, but just in such a manner as
We should expect from George Hielge, the dis
ungulshed artist, whose ships, water and sky,
are particularly well executed on the canvass
put while thus expressing our opinion as to
the panorama, the critical eye will not fail to
discover imperfeetions; which, however, may
oe excused IN work of such magnitude
ana IN this connection we may refer to the
attempt 70 represent a storm at sea, with the
accompaniments CT thunder and lightning
Inese are Incompatible with painting and
cannot be rendered in such a manner as to
approach TO nature. The scene Of Sebastopol
Is interesting to adults, and the pyrotechnic
display interesting TO children; the latter par
taxing OF fourth Of July juvenile demon
stratiOn.
The Panorama, we repeat, is beautifully
painted, and, together with the explanatory
lecture, cannot fail TO prove Interesting TO the
puoile, especially those that love wild, novel
adventure, and who desire to be enlightened
respecting regions of perpetual ice, where, in
tne absence Of the vegetable beauties which
adorn the temperate and the torrid zones, the
solar system gilds the objects peculiar to the
polar seas with gorgeous hues, rich and lavish,
inexpressibly grand, as if thus silently, but
eloquently, 70 delight the voyager and to cheer
ms heart while resident in that inhospitable
cline.
WORTHY OF PATRoSAGE.-Those desiring
daguerreotype pictures cannot do better than
70 patronize the establishment Of Mrs. Red
mond, on the corner of Pennsylvania avenue
and Eleventh street, over the Drug store of the
Brothers Ford. The proprietresS, Mrs. Red
mond, executes her pictures eapitally, and
especially deserves encouragement from those
who are blessed with true public spirit. We
nave satisfied ourself that she is a very wor-
thy widow, with q family OF three children
uePendlng on her exertiOns, and that the duty
OF paying for her establishment has forced her
70 deny herself almost the bare necessities of
me durng nearly the whole Of the late dull
SeIm IN the way Of business. If industry and
useeImined perseverance 10 discharge pecu-
and pinching want deserve encouragement-
surely mere Is case in which those who are
.uiy benevolent and public spirited cannot
40 oetOef tnan 70 patroniZe the daguerreotvn
ing establishment in question. r
EsrERrAIshESr.-The Scott Guards C.,,
1AnleSon, were, last night, we have bssn r..
guessed 90 state, entertained bv certa;n of
their friends attached to military orasn;, VI
tIons. Inc Scott Guards are Youths STIR
lated by their love Of country 10 prepare tbero-
selves for soldiers, TO defend, if Lecessarr
their homes in the event Of foreign invasion
which, however, is no. just now anticipated
In relation to the military drill and the pa
rade, their conduct is approved; but as TO the
entertainments, We are not prepared to pro-
nounce an opinion further than this that if
tney Follow the example of their senior voluu-
teer brethren-in-arms in that respect, they
nave advanced too rapidly in the scale of So
elallty, and are apt to contract habits which
cannot morally result to their benefit. The
youth Of the country should discard entertain
g M!eHt', except such as their parents or guar
uians can approve.
