(Reportedixclusively for _"THIPRZBII...) . - CORN-EXCHANGE Very moderate supplies of English wheat have arrived up to our market this week, coastwise and by land carriage; yet the demand for all kinds has ruled heavy and prices have given way from Is to 2s per quarter, without clearances being effected. Foreign wheat—the imports of which have been small—has commanded scarcely any attention, and, in many instances, the carrencies have been almost nominal. Floating cargoes off the coast have been very dull. Fine malting barley has sold to a fair extent, at full prices; but grinding and distilling sorts have commanded only a limited amount of attention. Malt has continued dull, but no change has taken place in its value. Good sound oats have realised previous rates. Damp parcels have beau somewhat neglected. Beans have sold at late rates. A few samples of new grey and white peas have been on the market in very middling condition. Flour has changed hands slowly, on former terms.

THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH begs most re spectfully to announce that this favorite place of amusement wi OPEN ou MONDAY, Sept- 3rd, under new auspices, and with a series of Extraordinary Performances. As everything the Wizard ►ays his hand on necessarily undergoes some startling change, the Lyceum Theatre will, by a wave of his Magic Wand, be instantly transformed into the Wizard's Psycomantheum• while the class of Entertainments presented within its walls will be as unlike anything that has been seen before as It is possible to conceive. Preparations have been in progress for many months put to produce these Entertainments on a scale of mac. nitude and excellence worthy of the Wizard's fame and pope. larity. His assistant spirits have been ordered to spare no expense in the oompounding of their spells ; and the result, it is hoped, will be an Entertainment which, for - startling effects," wi►l far outstrip the wildest French melodrama ; with " rapid changes" more surprising than an actor playing twenty parts, in twenty different dresses; with " tricks" more wonderful than those of an adulterating tradesman; and "transformations" which would make the alchemists of old expire with envy. PROFESSOR ANDERSON (the Great Wizard of the North) having completed the entire circuit of the globe, and visited almost every part of Europe, America, India, and Australia, attended everywhere with a degree of success unexampled, he believes, in the career of any individual aspiring to the title of a cosmopolitan artist, will give his extraordinary DELASSE- IdENS MAGIQUES in the above Theatre for a limited period preparatory to his final retirement from public life. No exertion wil► be spared on hi■ part to secure the continuance of the public favour which he has hitherto enjoyed wherever he has pre. seated himself. On the Continent. from St. Petersburg to Madrid; in America, from Canada to Mexico, and from New York to San Francisco ; everywhere, in short, shave the Wizard's marvels succeeded most effectually in "astonishing the natives " of the various countries visited. Ills performances have been patronised by audiences amounting iu the aggregate to very many millions; and he is the only British Professor of his art who, in addition to having been honoured by all the Courts of Europe, has also been commanded to perform before her Majesty the QUEEN. Without attempting to exalt the Professor's art beyond its due deserts, let it suffice to say it is his art. He has devoted himself for years to the perfecting it, and rendering it more fitted to amuse and entertain the public. That he has been euccessful in his efforts he thinks, from what he has said, is pretty certain ; indeed a lifetime spent in diligent pursuit of excellence in any art, whatever it may be, can scarcely fail in producing some degree of efficiency. It is the result of this long study that will be pre. sented at the Lyceum Theatre. Feats in Modern Magic hitherto unattempted will be exhibited by the aid of apparatus outri. railing any that has been previously constructed. Another feature in Professor Anderson's Delassemess Magiques will be a complete disclosure of some of the principal impostures of the age, with illustrations of the mechanism, mystery, and mischief of Spirit-rapping, Table-turning, Clairvoyance, and other delusions, to be classed generally under the now popular head of the " sell " theory. In the Wizard's performances there will be found mirth for those who seek merriment, mystery for those who fancy the mysterious, paradoxes fen the lovers of the para doxical, wonders for those who like the wonderful, startling sur prises for those eager for excitement. There will be science for the sage, wisdom for the philosopher, art (or the artistic, and cheerfulness for all. It will be the Professor's object, in fact, to produce a play each night hi which the audience themselves shall be the actors, and which, whatever the plot may be, shall certainly be free from the fault of many modem dramas—the fault of lacking incident or exciting situations and unexpected dinouemens. Such will be the general character of the Wizard's Banquet of Wonders. It will be an ordinary to which he will welcome all. The bill of fare will shortly be published in the programme now preparing; and Professor Anderson. the carver of the feast, will spare no effort to please the taste of every guestwho may honour his table with his presence—cutting it fat or lean as each may wish. The Royal Lyceum Theatre will be opened by the Wizard of the North, as his Psycomantheum. on MONDAY, Sept. 3. CREMORNE.—Admission, ls.—The coming Week will be inaugurated by a REPETITION of the GRAND MILITARY SPECTACLE which took place in the Ashburnham Grounds, and which excited such intense Interest, and received such high unbounded patronage on Monday evening last, and which has determined the Proprietor to place it before the general public, with all its brilliant, varied, and effective fea tures, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, on which days, as well as the intermediate ones, every successive hour, from three till twelve, will be marked by those artistic exhibitions and al fresco pleasures which has secured this property the designation of " The Paradise of Cheapness," and the " Garden of the World."
