Clifford's Minor of the 'World.

Mr Clifford exhibited last night to a very good audience his second series of views of London, and the collection altogether was the best thai; he lias shown, being more in number and embracing, places of greater interest than the ordinary views, of wood, and water scenery. Amongst the' principal views we're the Boyal Palaces, St. James' and Bucking* ham, the principal club houses and, theatres, the Houses of Parliament, with the magnificent interiors; the Horse Guards and Admiralty, with the parade groundon a royal birthday: British Museum, National Gallery, Albert Hall and Boyal Horticultural Society's buildings and gardens, and others wilich it would take a column of space barely to enumerate. AH Lon-_ doners present were highly pleased, and manj who hare never been to the great city, whose ideas as to its buildings and streets are of the vaguest character, had their eyes opened, to use a vulgarism. One of the most beautiful series of views was that showing the Albert Memorial, with its grand groups of statuary and reliefs. Mr Clifford gave mmc interesting particulars concerning the views exhibited, making the entertainment instructive as well as interesting. There I were some very fine specimen!) of statuary shown; two moral tales, calculated to please the juvenile portion of the audience, but at which the oldest and goberest could not forbear laughing; and concluded with the vagaries of the Dancing Skeleton. , During the playing of " God Save the Queen " a capital portrait of Her Majesty is. shown, on .the screen. It will be noticed that to-night Mr Clifford will show the second part of Scotland, and to-morrow he will give a matine for the benefit of the children who cannot be expected to view the exhibition at night. Parents and teachers should not fail to take advantage of the opportunity to let their young charges see some of the most interesting places in the World.
