markable event Of the present war, from the

mon and evening Of the present week We ARE
informed that the engagements positively ire
clude the possibility OF longer stay. We would,
therefore, advise all to visit this extensive COL
lection OF artistic works, iuto which chemical aud
mechanical effects have been SO ingeniously in.
rodaced, that the various scenes Of which it is
composed pass before the spectator with all the
imposing grandeur oil reality, whore the clash
of arms, the din Of musketry and the roar of
cannon are distinctly heard, and the audience
are ut once pleased with Its beauties and thrilled
with its startling illusions.
Beautiful paintings have long been held in
high estimation in all countries for the refining
influence which they exercise upon society and
are among the most prominent symbols by which
we judge the taste aud enlightenment of PEG
pie; for where love of this branch Of the fine
arts is cultivated, music and poetry are sure to
exist in tourishing condition and the study
of history, the very basis of all mental progress
is necessarily pursued in search of subjects for
this fascinating ant. No painting eau exist with
ont its history, and all histories are more beau.
tliu and interesting when adorned with truthful
] illustrations by the painters skill How pleasing
and instructive then must be the entertainment
\ which presents in one view the beauties of ntt
and the interest of history, 80 happily united o.
| to render their contemplation at once delightful
| and profitable. OF such nature is the great
Polopticomorama the war; which will open fol
exhibition at the Institute this evening for il
n series OF elaborate masterpieces of art on which
no labor has been spared, that ample ustc,
might be done to the subject, every deed Of not,
which has transpired in our country has beef
so Tuthiully portrayed by The Roudrous brush
that each scene as it passes looks like life itself
and tho thrilling incidents which will soon he
come the stereotyped history Of the nation mr.
enacted before the spectators eyes with sucl
strong similitude TO reality that they cannot iai
to impress themselves upon the memory in tn
most lasting manner.
The lecture which accompanies the exhbiiio
is finished piece Of evolutionary rhetoric an
being fully explanatory is at once highly pleasin
and interesting. As the Poopticomorama WI
