PANORAMA ROYAL, Leicester square. This fashionable exhibition is the oldest of the kind in London, having been originally opened in 1790; and has been continually increasing in merit and attraction, until it has attained its present high celebrity, under the proprietorship of the eminent and indefatigable artist, Mr. R. Burford. The Panoramic views are so well known to the public generally, that it is almost, as Mr. G. Robins would say, "a work of supererogation" to expatiate on their merits. To the youthful mind, these views form a continual source of varied instruction and amusement, whilst their intense interest is equally felt by the adult, of whatever calling. Economy too here presides; for instead of having the trouble to wade through a mass of books or charts, the spectator has the object entire before him at one glance, and for "One Shilling." The Panorama Royal is open during the entire year, from 10 o'clock till dusk; and we cannot suggest a higher treat to the man of travel, science, literature, or art, than a visit to Mr. Burford's rapid succession of splendid Panoramic Illustrations.

In short it is almost impossible for our country friends to visit a more interesting and amusing sight than this unique and unrivalled Exhibition. Vide Times: "It is one of the best Exhibitions in the metropolis."
