ANOTHER FINE ENTERTAINMENT.
Professor Cromwell gave large and intel
ligent audience exquisite intellectual enjoy
ment last night by his representations Of
the distinguished features of the ancient
and modern Rome. We doubt if ever the
realities of travel and personal inspec-
ton of the temples, statuary, ruins, &c.
could impart any more pleasure or knowl-
edge than were obtained by the comforta-
bly-seated audience in Virginia Hall for a
tri1ing outlay. st. Peters, the Vatican,
the Pantheon, the coliseum, the APP
plan Way, and other noted features
of the Eternal City were in
turn placed upon the scene, as well as
many of the most exquisite sculptures Of
ancient and modern origin. The entertain
ment concluded by a jaunt of a few thou
sand miles across the American continent,
during which we got glimpse Of some Of
the most noted points.
This evening will be devoted to Germany,
the Rhine, the Hudson river, and some of
the most pleasing views along the line Of
the great Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
Clifton Forge, Falling Spring, views on the
New river, Allegheny tunnel, &C., &c.
Friday evening glorious Paris, as it was
and as it is, will be presented, and half the
proceeds of the evening will be given in aid
of the Lee memorial.
