Tbe t 'Sieor, who is • relative of the late reoowned )octoe Martin Vass Batched, does. oot weer • beard, but, like his illustriOus kinsman, be is a man of sage experience and profound skill in curing thiogs incurable, and effecting other miraculous' changes and transmutations. • . The Sieur has chosen fur the subjects of his pre sent. tricks and lectures, malt, beer, tea. coffee, tobacco, and souse other articles familiar to the public, on which he exercises his extraordinary in genuity in • way that defies ell the powers of spy ordinary understanding. The Sieur takes a barrcl of beer, and demon strates, that while - the materials, of which it is com posed cost the brewer • million end half sterling mac than he as hitherto paid, he can afford to sell it at the same price, and have the same profits as before. The &cur next takes a pot of beer, and shews, .thet if ttrr publican sold it for six-pence when he bought it for fivespint#;Ve`may new' orffbrd to buy it for six-pence and sell it a the some price, with out lose, injury, Or diminution of profit. Again, the Sionr takes a penny from the six pennies in the pocket bf the customer, and skews yyl that be can purchase a pot of beer for the remain. der as easily as wide the whole. More surpskihg still, the Sieur swallows pot and' all. and :thews that the customer loses nothing in his beer, our the publican in his pot. The Sieur next introduces a set of cups filled with tea, collie, mid cocoa, • few pipes of tobacco, and some glasses of British spirits. Expatiating on these, be MA these are nut necessaries. Certainly they are not. Many a fine Gentleman and Lady can live without snuff and tobacco, and would pre. ler • glass of foreign wnie to British spirits. Thee are therefore luxuries, and if the cup . or the glasi filled with them, or the quid of tobacco, cost six peace, and the poor moo can command only five pence, the Sieur sleeves he will not be injured should the price be advanced to seem-pence. The Steer goes further. To the utter astonishment of the audience, he 'thews that so far born bring in. jured, his state will be improved. Ex. gr. IF a '•• man is dry, and wants a pot of beer, price six pence, while he ties only - five-petke halfpenny in the world, he is iu a state of longing sod fretting that readers him . quite miserable. It is the life of Tantalus. The thing is just at his fingers' ends, and he almost &twin within his teach, but without the additional halfpenny he never can accomplish his desire. Now if you increase the price of the pot of beer, and •diminish the halfpence in his pocket, his privation remains the same, and you render him comparatively happy. The object is removed to a diatince ° that precludes all chauce or hope of attainment. tie can no longer fret for the want of that which it is physically impoosible he could poeseu. A wan of sense, under such sir evinutances, would never aspire to a pot of porter. He might as well cry far the moon. The Sieur then takes a body, exhausted with. - exertions and privations, and pressed into the very earth by the enormous weight of fo►ty-four ttiM lions of pounds. Ile sets about-removing the weight, and takes off to the amount of about eighteen millions: The chest being so far relieved from excessive pressure, the patient begins to breathe—the blood, long stagnant in the veins. be gins to circulate—and the torpid limbs shew symp toms of returning life. Encouraged by this sac. ce►s, the Sieur, no doubt, proceeds in the same operation. No such dung ; he reiinposes three :nil. lions, and, wonderful to relate. he displays the patient instantly restored to 'whet health and vigour. This trick excited in a -*particular degree the amusement of the compaily. Several *kits from Newmarket who were present were particularly struck with it, cud cursed the ignorance and stupidity which have ao long disgraced the turf.— They see clearly from the experiment of the: Sieur that weight snay slide/togs to a horse's fret, and that the racer who carries a feather deserves to be dis tanced. Another trick exhibited by the Siear dr- Peeve' particular notice. The Siear cots a cat iu two, and thus kills the cat. !stark the consequence! When .the cat lived the aides and economy of the House were preserved—the cstidles. were safe in the kitchen, and the cheese in the' pantry--Gut the cat being dead. the rats and other vermin broke in, devoured the candles and the cheese, and committed all posteible havoc and desolation. Now, says the Stour, addressing the company, you think this a •lainentable scene, but view it through my magic glass and you find it a splendid spectacle. White the poor an, Economy, lived. there• wits a very limited consumption of candles end cheese, bat now that she is dead the consumption is enormous; all this is good for trade ; inesease of trade and issoufaetore brings with it increase of wealtft..aud Inseam of wealth increased taxation and revenue. Now that the rate are in possession of she Novae these will be pounds of candler - mid 'clreeei con sisted, where there were spat iso :sway ounce, when the eat lived. This trick and the instantiate receiv ed groat applause. • There is leafy one otliftthat it may be necessary to notice at present. • - The Sieser exhibited . Awe swen wrestling, oue of whom elme thrown; nnd neither of them fell. Tiol w efil both demisted Timms. • Seserid •gantlentim from Somersetham, Wiltshire, Hampshire, rod Cornwall, were present,. and they all rlei l rieced thry never sew any thisrg I:Ice, this fest in easy of these counties, celebrated foe utestling mid other gem. mastic *pegs.

Ile +lon. ed how Mr. Rothschild had contended with Mr. Vaii4ittart en the Leon, and how the latte'r dr. immigrated that be had gtined toe att ening,. and yet maintained the bargain was good for both, that is, that they both conquered. • • It will be seen in the shove sketch. that the Sieur, in his tricks and feats, laud-ibly seeks re render them subservient to the eitolloioll of old dogmas and antiquated manias, such as 46 Honesty is the brat policy" — "" Eilravagance is the rood to roue"—".There is itisdons•in economy," end other like ridiculous principles, recommended by the Members of Opposition, merely to tease and ha. rase his Majesty'.
