AMERICAN WAR DIORAMA.
The Gaiety Theatre was crowded to excess last evening to witness the second representation during this visit of Raincr's pictorial history of the late American war. The entertainment is not only a pleasing but also an instructive one, the interest being sustained by the numerous explanations happily given by Mr Harry Stanley, who acts as lecturer. The mechanical scenes were cleverly worked, that of the lute President Lincoln's funeral being especially effective. The usual distribution of presents followed the termination of the ordinary programme.
