THE COLISEUM, REGENT'S PARK,

Will be opened in about four months. Our readers are aware that it
will present a _Panoramic View of London_, taken from the dome of
St. Paul's Cathedral, and imitated in a bungling manner in a recent
pantomime at Covent Garden Theatre. The picture covers 40,000 square
feet, or nearly an acre of canvass; the dome of the building on which
the sky is painted, is 30 feet more in diameter than the cupola of
St. Paul's; and the circumference of the horizon visible from the
point of view, is nearly 130 miles. "The _Coliseum_" is evidently
a misnomer, since the building is very similar to the _Pantheon_ at
Rome; but we perceive by a letter from the proprietor, that its proper
designation is the "_Colosseum_."

MR. HAYDON

Has just finished a companion to his admirable picture of the _Mock
Election in the King's Bench_, viz. the _Chairing of the Members_.
The first-mentioned is now in the king's collection at Windsor.
