No. 1.-View of Venice from a Balloon.-We can hardly help wondering what Venice must have been in the glorious days of the Republic, when her fleets commanded the seas, and commerce brought her immense wealth-that wealth which is now all concentrated art-wealth of churches, in picture-gantries, and in her stately palaces now suffering from the ravages of time.
