The principle on which these Cape are made differs materially from any hitherto adopted. In lieu of Metallic Foils or Linings, as they are termed, and other substancesof an equally injudicious character, which cannot be consumed without the introduction of the most corroding materials, these Patent Caps have their detonating composition covered with a highly waterproof sub- stance, burning with as much facility as the powder itself, and in no degree detracting from that certainty and sharpness of fire, as well as anti-corrosive property, so necessary for the convenience and comfort of those who use them. JOYCE'S PATENT CAPS are equally certain in all weather wet or dry, and, if firmly pressed down on the nipples, will close the aperture, and render the powder in the barrels air tight, keeping it quite dry. Sportsmen are recommended to re load as soon as possible in misty and wet weather, otherwise the moisture deposited inside the barrel damps the charge, and occasions hang fires. Manufacturer of Wire Cartridges and Waddings of every description. Counting-house, 67, tipper Thames street, London. THE PRESS. ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. THE FIRST NIGHT of the EXTRAORDINARY PER FURMANCES of the GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH will be MONDAY, Sept. 3rd. Extensive preparations are in progress, but with every precaution taken that the arrangements shall be complete on the Opening Night. PROFESSOR ANDERSON'S improved series of DELASSE MESS MACAQUES will, on this occasion, surpass any previous illustrations of Magic Art given by him either in the Metropolis or elsewhere. He would respectfully refer his patrons and the public to the successful season at the Adelphi in 1842, when the novelty and surprising character of the wonders produced by him drew dense crowds on each night of performance ; he would also refer to the still inure astonishing features of the Entertainment given by him at Covent-garden in 1640, when the magnitude of the scale on which the Experiments were presented far out rival ed anything that had been previously attempted by himself or any other artist. At the LYCEUM the Great Wizard's En tertainment will now be presented with still increased magni ficence, with perfected Apparatus, and far more amplified Wonders. The entire arrangements will be so modified as to present each experiment in a more striking manner and with greater dramatic effect. To accomplish this the services of the best men of science, artists, and mechanicians have been en listed, including the inventive genius of the French, the pro found research of the Germans, and the fantastic originality of the Oriental nations. For every monarch before whom the Great Wizard of the North has performed a special new feat has been invented. The whole of these will be concentrated into the evening's amusement at the Lyceum. The mystic perplexities which were most pleasing to her Majesty at Balmoral; the magic feat which most excited the curiosity of the late Czar at St. Petersburg; the paradox which proved most paradoxical to the King of .Prussia at Berlin; the tour tradresse which most astonished the Emperor of Austria at Vienna; the experiment which elicited the most marked approbation of the King of Sweden at Stockholm ; the special wonder which most excited the curiosity of the Queen of Spain; the new exemplification of the Magician's art produced on the occasion of Professor Ander son performing in the presence of the President and the Senate of the United States; the puzzle which most puzzled the "'cuteness " of Brother Jonathan; the seeming inexplicability which rendered awe-struck the Indian in his native forest; the grand feats which, for fifty consecutive nights, obtained unpre cedented applause from audiences numbering from two to three thousands iu the Metropolitan Hall, New York; the chef d'oeuvre of Professor Anderson on his filet appearance in London, twenty years ago; the most wondrous of his wonders produced at the Adelphi ; the most exciting of the marvels which originated so much excitement in his performances at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden; the peculiar and must pleasing portions of his Entertainment as given in the Provinces; together with astounding novel features in his repertory of mystery, reserved expressly for his appearance at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, will all be comprised in his DELASSEM ENS MAGIQUES. Not the least wondrous of these will be the exemplifications of the delusion of SPIRIT-RAPPING, inasmuch as the invisible spirits of the Great Wizard will be found to pervade every part of the house, and to be present everywhere. The whole will be produced with due regard to gorgeousness of effect, and all the resources of the Wizard of the North's inexhaustible fund of Magic will be called into active aid on Monday, Sept. 3. The Prices of Admission will be thus arranged .—Private Boxes (which will be obtainable at the principal Libraries and Musicsellers, and at the Box Office), 1/. is. and 11. 118. 3d ; Orchestra Stalls, 45.; Dress Circle, 35.; Upper Boxes, 25.; Pit.
