RoYAL LYCEUM THEATRE: THIS EVENING, and every evenin durng the we ek, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of i MAGIC MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety of incidents continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary fleets. , ~,4 1 4, agic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos . amu sement, distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of as ereent. It is not a monologue, for the audience them them the principal actor, somo of f a , on Perfo th sta g e and parts others in front ; it is not an exhibition, eyesug everything becomes metamorphosed before the lie corn- Pant' th ing ; but it is a comedy really performed by the cora ;-"! ; a melodrama replete with startly positions and unex lewd denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of re Public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex ravaganza in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond th e bound s of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and bhionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum e atre to o ver fl ow, an d by means o f w h ose generous a id h e a bee n enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con e has ° , ls repetition. He believes that no professor of his art ' a., at any time or in anv place been honoured with au 11---,otint of success so extensive, so decided, and . so - renustral. ihcit.would attribute that success to three causes , first, that - 1, "a present entertainment he has placed before his visitors t he results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of ,Perfected s ki ll in one pecu li ar ar t , an d t o per f ec t w hi c h b e °as travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has shared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on "" c e stage in the mst elaborate manner, by the employment that, the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, ~'",h a t, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those o honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that i t t i s possible to afford information also, and that the oppor „e4,nitY should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where er it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by ti ßert ,ing to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, e designing have succeeded in making dupes of the redulons. T he 937 l e tt ers on t h e su bj ec t o f sp i r it- rapp i ng, w hi c h Pro fessor• atre p Aunderson has received, from the time of opening the terest to the present date, bear witness to the great in •a-eu en the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst -4 3" of them b ear me l anc h o ly ev id e nce to the dangers which atttend a beli e f i n th e su p ers titi ou s nonsense of the " Spiri ualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has result e d , ii Profe ssor A n d erson ' s ex p os e o f spi r it-rapping and s illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a se nsa ti on unequalled by any previous attempt to ex fose a mis c hi evous an d i mpu d ent j ugg l e. It i s i mposs ibl e or Profess or A nderson to reply at length to a tithe of the that• many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen tell Ircim their posiion in socety and thir well-kon in is_ectual attainments, t he would i least have expected n to w have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easil y susceptibl e o f b e i ng con t rover t e d an d di sprove d . E very e a l lning, from the Lyceum stage, M r . A n d erson ' s o pi n i ons on i lhe at-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Yee nm how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. He regrets that the names_ of th e great and learned of the land should thave been ma d e to f i gure in the documents emanating r4,robe the. spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex acted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri "ka Telegraph. It p ur p or t s t o emanate f rom an A mer i can spirit rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that be is ' sorely puzzled' at what he has Witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought , the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the solution of the phenomena ; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits Who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of Who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: se" This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now it , Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations Without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout tldhoeeili A arn nglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, o ff ere d hi m 2,000 per annum if he would perform at his museum in New b ,:k. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could , e ,„°rought. Ho w as somew h a t as t on i s h e d w h en his offer was " a e u i r Hume, on telling the fact in Loudon lately, simply " a estly remarked, th a t th e mone y wou ld h ave b een very a eptabl e t o him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or and'ens in very bad health : but he would have been afraid his • i lf thg his R i power as a medium, and he would sooner lose e e ' The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. nquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greate st humb ugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is nl4 en of the fi rmest believers in spiritualism. " It is cer ,l eui IY surprisin g t o fi n d suc h a paragrap h as thi s i n th e torial articl e o f an esta b lished journa l , t h e e di tor of w h om lin 2a'ght be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe aPirit-r aPPing-- does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this acc ession to its a dh eren ts ? and, with B ar nu m ' s endorse 'e t n nt to it , i s this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely b e , h e negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not : t n t, when h e fi nds that educated clergymen of the Church of I n gland have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross tswindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the mit7 N. J. Godf re y) pos iti ve l y asser t s hi s b e li e f i n i t, an d ts a b oo k on the subject, he considers it t . be time for state that which he knows of the mechanism by which 111.18 effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the ( "zing Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir in avid Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, 10 ,_ °10 Pany with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that si Tett the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that I:m a t- Ml:ping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad I,„rses. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day ws" ev er, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one E6 no was present when he and Lord Brougham had their are with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the „ e(a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most ' 44r aordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac ;rile% was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and en to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's Light hand, apart from any person, it played an air through -040 ' - t he . a statement for edification of • People With of such the 19th century, , printed with the facts the before us that e Most talented men of the day are permitting themselves • be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers --that the grta,est novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the I, lL J e ct of a new work, awl that a " spiritual convention" ,ae actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-ball, frofessor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual .ll:tB of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will t received by the people of England as genuine honest at •erePts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual aa gglers.

" God Save the Queen" by the vocalists in attendance, the guests joining in the chorus. The MAYOR then rose to propose " The Health of Emperor of the French." He said—Great, as I doubt not the results of this war will be, yet if there should have been none other than that of the union of France and England in the closest bonds of friendship it would not have been undertaken in vain. (Hear.) Centuries of warfare had failed to destroy that mutual respect, which must ever exist between brave nations. Francia and Henry of England, might, indeed, enter into a treaty of peace, but hitherto such has ever wanted those ele ments of strength which rn, my Lord Derby, on a re cent occasion well said eirenecessary to make a peace last ing. Sovereigns and Governments may form alliances, but to endure they must carry with them the feelings of the people, they must be stamped and ratified by their ap proval; and has not that union between France and Eng land been ratified amid the cheers which welcomed Napo leon to our country, and by the heartfelt enthusiasm which greeted our own Sovereign from the time she set foot on the shores of France ? (Hear.) These were not tho civilities passing between Monarchs ; they were the spontaneous manifestation of a nation's joy. No man has done more, through good or through evil report, to cement this alliance than has the present Emperor of the French. I beg to propose, "Napoleon, the Emperor of the French," and with that would couple the name of his august Consort, the Empress Eugenie. (Cheers.) " Partant pour la Syrie " by the vocalists. The French CONSUL, in a neat speech, acknowledged the compliment paid to his Imperial master. The Mavon—l now propose "The health of the Sultan of Turkey_" At war as we are with a monarch who sways with despotic power the destinies of a mighty empire, we may appeal with confidence to surrounding nations as to the justice of our cause. Motives which it is not ncy pr o vince here to dilate upon may influence the Cabinets of some of the German States, but the people of thosecoun tries, as well as of the north, are with us, while Russia is isolated and friendless ; and well may the German and other States be on our side. Self preservation would lead them to us ? Has not Russia been for long despoiling her neighbours ? During the last 70 years she has robbed from surrounding States dominions equal to her whole European dominions before that time. To wards Dresden, Vienna, and Paris she has approached 700 miles ; towards Constantinople, 500 ; Stockholm, 630 ; Persia, 1,000. She has wrested from Sweden dominions as great as those now left to her ; from Po land territories equal to Austria. Who will not say it was time to check her lust of power ? (Hear.) Many Russians have long ignored St. Petersburg or Moscow as their capital. They point to Constantinople, and say "There is the true capital of our country." What if Constantinople had fallen into the hands of Russia, and A second Sebastopol had been constructed at the mouth of the Dardanelles ? Would not this have become a stand ing menace to Europe as Sebastopol was to Turkey ? I have stated that wo might appeal with confidence to sur rounding States as to the justice of our cause ; and it is a satisfaction to us to see that while Austria and Prussia remain wavering Sardinia has set a noble example. She has shown a spirit of independence that will gain for her the respect of surrounding States, and enable her to play an important part in the great events that are looming in the, perhaps;' not distant future. (Hear.) To check these ambitious projects the Western Powers took up arms in defence of Turkey, which Russia, look ing upon as an easy prey, bad outrageously attacked, and the Turkish soldicis bad shown themselves worthy to fight by our side. Witness their many victories on the banks cf the Danube, their gallant defence of Silis tria, of Eupatoria, anc's even now of Kars. In the cam paigns of 1828 and 1829 they kept long at bay the forces of Russia, and their defence of Shumla, of Varna, and Silistria, will long be remembered in history. I give you " The health of the Sultan," with which I will cou ple "The health of the King of Sardinia." (Cheers.) The Ottoman Coissur, returned thanks. The MAYOR then rose to propose "The health of Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family, including the Duke of Cambridge, who had that day honoured them with his presence." His worship said—l need not allude to those personal quali ties which have endeared the Duke of Cambridge to the ' army and have rendered him so justly popular in this country. Sir, the people of England rejoiced to see one so nearly allied to our beloved Sovereign gladly sharing with his soldiers all the hardships of the campaign. At Alma, at Balaklava, and at Inkerman (where your horse I was shot under you), your gallantry was alike conspicu ous ; but the greatest trial of all was when your health obliged you to leave your gallant comrades. I venture to say that no man ever took a deeper interest in his regi. went than you have done. No one was more looked up . to as the soldie'rs friend than you are. (Load cheers.) And I may further add, that the exertions which you made in order to ameliorate the condition of the hospitals in the East have been rewarded by the blessings of many a poor sick and wounded soldier. I in not here, Sir, to speak in mere terms of adulation, but to speak what I conscientiously; believe :to be true, and as the exponent of what I believe to be the sentiments of the people at large—(cheers)—and surely it has been no trivial cause that could rouse the people from their state of peace—a peace of nearly half a century—to one of martial ardour. The war is a popular war because the people know well its nature, and every man reads the details of it with anxious interest and identifies himself with it. They know that it is a war in which the prin ciples of freedom, of civilisation, and humanity are ar rayed against tyranny and despotism. We did not enter upon this war until every means of maintaining peace had been exhausted ; but it is true also that we entered upon it with much of a boasting and vain-glorious spirit—we seemed to trust to our own strength to obtain for us the victory, almost forgetting that that lies in the hands of the God of Battles. It has pleased Him, nevertheless, that a just cause should triumph, and the people of Liverpool have set apart this day as one of rejoicing for that triumph. True it is that while the heroism of the British army has been acknowledged throughout the whole course of the campaign, the glory of the final success must rest with the gallant French ; but, though we may feel dis appointment at our want of success at the Redan, still we will never allow that feeling to prevent our re joicing with those who have shared so many dangers in common with us ; and perhaps there has been no more touching incidents in the war than when, after the siege was over, the Zouaves marched past some English regi ments, who greeted them with hearty cheers, no envious feeling, no rankling jealousy, living in those brave men. Sir, four years ago this very day our gracious Queen visited us. It was then a time of peace, it is now one I of war ; but, whether in peace or in war, our sentiments of love to our Queen and the Royal family remain unal tered. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with the heartiest cheering. His ROYAL HIGHNESS begged to thank his Worship and the company, on the part of his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal family, for the manner in which the toast had been received, and for the demonstration of loyalty of which the town had that day been the scene. He could not but feel most grateful to the inhabitants of Liverpool for the gratifying reception which had been given to him, nor could he fail to express the delight with which he bad that day inspected the great establishments and public and chari table institutions which reflected so much credit upon that great commercial town. Nothing could be more gratifying to any one than to be the object of so many marks of respect, a portion of which no doubt was in tended for himself personally, but the greater part of which he regarded as intended as a testimony of the ap preciation in which our army in the East was regarded by the inhabitants of that important and influential com munity. Such a testimony could not fail to be most highly valued by our soldiers, and to have the beet warmly reciprocated on ear side. A great deal bad been written upon the shortcomings and defects in our arrange. ments for the comfort and efficiency of the army, but the fault was not so much in individuals as in the system, and still more in the state in which our establishments bad been left by a4O years' peace. It might be said that the French had enjoyed a 40 years' peace as well as ourselves, but it should ibe remembered that the break ing out of the war bad found them much better prepared than ourselves. The French had for many years carried on war in Algeria, and their transport and com missariat departments were therefore in a state of efficiency. When the war broke out we had no land transport corps at all, and no ambulance, and we landed in a country where no horses or forage could be procured. The commissariat was a department of the Treasury, and the officers arrived in the Crimea with little or no experience of the work they had to perform. They were willing to learn, anxious to do their duty, and desirous to receive suggestions. But, under all the circumstances, it was not to be wondered at that deficiencies manifested themselves which made every one impatipt. Officers were impatient, men were impatient. and (Said his Loyal Highness) " I was impa- tient." But he saw around him mar:y eminent mer chants having establishments in every part of the globe, and he would ask them whether a space of three, four, or five months would enable them to form those esta blishments and make those ramifications in every part of the globe which were essential to the success of their undertakings, and the harmony and efficiency of their action ? (Cheers.) Time must be given for establishing the necessary organisation, and our establishments were now fast attaining an efficiency worthy of this great country. The lesson to be learnt from these events—and he trusted it would not be forgotten after the peace—was not to starve our establishments during a time of peace, or to maintain them in such a low state of efficiency as if we thought that war was impossible. Four years ago, he admitted, he did not believe that we were about to enter upon a state of war. No one then believed war to be possible. But when the present war should be happily terminated, he trusted that we should not ne glect the . efficiency of our establishments from any belief that we were about to enter upon another 40 years' peace, although no one would rejoice more than himself if such a blessing were in store for us. Every one who had witnessed, as he had, the actual miseries of war would rejoice at the return of peace, and would cherish a state of peace as one of the greatest blessings a nation could enjoy. He had been much gratified at one passage in the speech of his worthy friend the Mayor at the Town-hall that morning, when his Worship had stated that, although the great commercial town of Liverpool was deeply interested in a return of peace, one sentiment alone pervaded the whole community— namely, a determination to persevere in the war in which the country was engaged, at all hazards and at every sacrifice, until its object was attained. In that sentiment he entirely coincided, and he had a strong opinion that a peace concluded at the present moment would not be an honourable, during, or lasting peace. Until such a peace was concluded he was for carrying on the war with all possible vigour and determination, and he was gratified to find that this also was the opinion of the inhabitants of Liverpool. He had seen a great deal written upon the relations between the officers and men of the British army. He thought that in raising the standard of the officers you raised also the standard of the men. Too much justice could not be given to the officers for their conduct in the late campaign, and their care and devotion for the comfort of the men. This care and devotion on the part of the officers was highly ap preciated by the men, who liked to bo commanded by gentlemen, while they often felt irritated under the com mand of men of their own station. (Hear.) One of the proudest positions that could be filled by any man was to command a body of English soldiers going into action, because he knew he could rely upon his men to go anywhere, and the men felt confident that their officers would be found at their head when the moment for action arrived. He had been compelled, to his great regret, to leave the army in the East in consequence of the state of his health; but now, thank God, his health was restored, and nothing would give him greater plea sure than to rejoin the army in the Crimea. (Cheers,) His Royal Highness concluded by again thanking the Mayor and the inhabitants of Liverpool for the kind and brilliant reception which they had given him, and re sumed his seat amid the hearty cheers of the company. The MAYOR then proposed the toast of " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese." The Right Rev. PRELATE said he felt bound to acknow ledge the cordial assistance which the clergy of Liverpool received front the laity in every work of charity and bene volence. He felt the greatest pride and pleasure in view ing the various noble charities with which the town of Liverpool abounded, and he was glad to acknowledge the assistance which the clergy had always received from the Mayor, as well as other members of the laity. He thanked God for having spared the life of his Royal Highness, and restored him to health, and long might be live to enjoy his well-won honours. (Cheers.) The MAYOR —I have now, your Royal Highness, my lords, and gentlemen, to propose the toast of " The Army and Navy," Often as " The Army and Navy" has been proposed in this room, never has there been a time when the toast would be received with greater enthusiasm than the present. We may search the annals of history in vain to find records of more glorious deeds than those which have been achieved by our brave army in the East. Time would fail me to relate their many deeds of valour from the time when first they landed on the shores of the Crimea—how in the face of batteries, which might have deterred any but such troop., the lion of England and the eagle of France were borne over the heights of Alma. Then, indeed, the union of France with England was accomplished. The bond of union was written in the blood of warriors, and sealed amid the dying and the dead. Nor need I dwell on their heroism at Balaklava and at Inkerman. It has been said that France and England never could unite cordially. A few weeks since a pamphlet was pub lished at Geneva, in which it was written " Waterloo must be avenged." Waterloo has been avenged in the thousand acts of kindness and goodwill shown by the allied armies to each other. It was avenged on that day when the brave Bosquet rushed with the legions of France to assist the British troops contending against almost overwhelming numbers on the field of Inkerman. (Cheers.) This is the vengeance which is dear to a chi valrous nation like France. It was avenged on that day when the eagle of France floated from the tower of the Malakhoff, and showed that the might of Russia had fallen ; and when we think of the first Napoleon, and recall the history of the past, we straight way see a new vision---Napoleon 111. and England's Queen paying to gether a tribute of respect at the tomb of departed great ness. When France and England were opposed to each other, it is related that the troops, when not in actual combat, interchanged many acts of kindness and good will. How different in this war. The slaughter of Sinope—the murders at Hango—the murdering of the wounded at Inkerman—the firing on those who were sent out to relieve the wounded Russians at the Tcher- I naya will ever remain a foul blot on the escutcheon of Russia. (Hear.) With the permission of his Royal High ness, I beg to couple with the army the name of Sir H. Smith—(cheers) —and with the navy that of the Earl of Hardwicke. (Chedrs.) Song—" The Battle of the Alma." Sir H. SMITH, who was received with great cheering, said he had seen with great regret certain comments upon what was called the failure of the English troops in the late attack upon the Redan, which were calcu lated to shake the confidence of the men in their com manders. Ho would not enter upon the question whe ther the siege of Sebastopol were really a siege or not, but he would call it an attack upon a strongly intrenched camp very numerously defended. When an attack was made upon a strongly-fortified city the assault was usually made upon three or four points, in order to dig tract the attention and divide the forces of the besieged. It was not expected that all should succeed, but it Was hoped that the besiegers would be successful at one or two points, and would thus gain an entrance into the place. Thus, at the siege of Badajoz, Wellington or dered an assault to be made upon four points, Ri g two crack divisions, who had even then gained immortal ' fame for themselves, were ordered to carry the town" late attack upon the Redan. That attack was part of the general assault of the enemy's lines, and be could not admit that the slightest stain rested upon the cha ra'cter of British troops because the attack at that parti cular point bad not succeeded. He felt confident that the English army would continue to deserve, as they bad hitherto most fully deserved, the admiration and grati tude of their Queen and country. (Cheers.) The Earl of HARDWICKE said he could not speak for the navy as the gallant General had spoken for the army, as an active member of that body. A year or two ago, when his noble friend on the left of the chairman (the Earl of Derby) was in office, he commanded a ship, and he hoped that when his noble friend should be again upon the sunny side of the throne he might again enjoy the gratification of serving his Queen and country in the exercise of his profession. (Hear, hear.) When the pre sent war broke out he bad warned the public not to ex pect WO much from the encounter of ships with heavy land batteries, and the result had proved the justice of the warning. The truth seemed to be, that unless our men-of-war'cpuld carry out and complete at once the ob ject which they had lu -rievr in attacking - land batteries, they only pointed out his weak points to the enemy, and enabled him to strengthen them. When the war broke out it was supposed that, because we had steam as a pro pelling power instead of sails, we were about to see great results obtained by means of our navy. But ships were built to meet and vanquish ships, and we were begin ning to see that this was not a naval war. (Hear, hear.) His ROYAL HIGHNESS, in a flattering and graceful speech, proposed " The Health of his Worship the Mayor." (Cheers.) The MAYOR begged to express his thanks for the very kind manner in which his health had been proposed by his Royal Highness and received by the company. He deemed it a privilege to be allowed to testify to the Duke of Cambridge the interest which the people of Liverpool took in the events passing in the East, and the interest with which they had marked the part which his Royal Highness had taken in those events. (Hear.) If in that busy mart of commerce—where peace must be so essential to their prosperity—a warlike spirit was now found to pervade, was it to be attributed to the love of war ? No ; it owed its origin to the conviction in the heart of the people that we were engaged in a good cause, and were fighting the battle of civilisation and of freedom against she dark despotism of the North. (Cheers.) The MAYOR next proposed " The House of Peers," coupling with it the name of the Earl of. Derby. (Cheers.) The House of Peers, forming as it did so important a part in the constitution of this country, was regarded not only with respect, but with sincere attachment, by the people ; for while it was a check to hasty legislation, it was not a barrier to improvement, and he believed it to be essential to the welfare of England. Its doors were open to every man who might distinguish himself in the state. The man of the humblest origin could gain admission there if he proved himself worthy of it. Who had not listened with pleasure to the eloquent outpour ings of my Lord Lyndhurst, and of a noble lord whose presence there that evening prevented him (the Mayor) from saying what he otherwise would have done of one so honoured by the nation and by the people of Liver pool, with whose welfare he himself was so intimately connected. (Cheers.) The Earl of DERBY said he was warned by certain sounds that met his ear (the music from the ball-room) that he must compress into a very small compass what he had to say. They bad arrived at the very critical moment in the evening's proceedings which reminded him of the House of Lords between the hours of a quar ter past 7 and 8 o'clock in the evening, when the thin. ness of the benches occupied not only by lords temporal, but, if the right rev, prelate would permit him to say, by lords spiritual also—(a laugh) —and the impatience of his audience usually led the speaker to apologise to their lordships for troubling them at so late an hour of the evening. (A laugh.) Apprehensive, therefore, that the younger portion of the company wished to leave the room, and that the older portion of the company would be obliged to do so—(a laugh)—he would only say that he concurred with the Mayor in thinking that, while the House of Lords performed an important and useful function in checking hasty legislation, it presented no barrier to freedom and improvement. (Hear.) It was also true that it was continually receiving infusions of new blood, and that its doors were open to every man who could show himself to be worthy of a seat in that distinguished assembly. So long as peerages were given only for distinguished services the recollection of the good qualities which procured for their ancestors their patent of nobility would encourage them to follow in the same path. But heavy would be the responsibility of that Minister who should recommend his Sovereign to raise improper and unworthy objects to the dignity of the peerage. For himself, he could not be charged with having made a lavish or indiscriminate use of the privi lege which office bad given him to recommend her Ma jesty to confer peerages. During the time he was First Minister of the Crown, he had only advised her Majesty to confer the dignity of the peerage upon three indivi duals—the distinguished diplomatist Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, the learned and eminent Sir E. Sugden, and the late lamented Lord Raglan. (Cheers.) Posterity, he thought, would confirm the worth and suitableness of these three persons to the distinction, and he should always look back with pleasure upon the share he had had in opening to them the doors of the House of Lords. (Cheers.) The MAYOR next proposed " The House of Commons," associating with it the health of the Right Hon. S. Walpole. The House of Commons had with few excep tions well represented the opinions of the people. The country being engaged in a war, the Commons felt it their duty to support whatever Ministry showed itself faithful to their country. They had granted the Govern ment supplies with a liberal hand ; they had not been afraid of a great war, but they had been afraid of a great war being carried on with insufficient means. (Hear, hear.) He was convinced that any Ministry showing a fearless English spirit would receive support from the nation, and the nation's representatives, and that party prejudice would be hushed, and the energies of all united for one common purpose. (Loud cheers.) Mr. WALPOLE briefly acknowledged the toast, remark ing that the House of Commons would, in any great national emergency, show itself superior to all party considerations, and worthily maintain its ancient dignity and fame. (Cheers.) The company then repaired to the splendid ballroom, where a brilliant scene awaited them. The large ball room, a nobly proportioned salon, was crowded with the e/itc of the town and neighbourhood of Liverpool. Cardsc had been issued for upwards of 1,000 guests. The . o rih attire of the ladies was enlivened by the s carlet u u nif orms of several officers of the army and militia, a presence of the foreign consuls of th e port in their offi cial uniforms. His Royal Highnes s the Mrs. Tobin, Duk e flu of Cam bridge danced in the fi rst quadril le with wife of the mayor.

"Remarkable for a certain evidence of great power and much force of style ; the style is very brilliant. Above all, the dialogues are spirited and flowing."—Dally News. " The story is ingenious, spirited, and well developed ; the dialogue sparkles with talent, and the pages are crowded with satirical sketching, and clo'e, clever presentations of life and character, drawn with arti- tic skid."--Press.

About midnight his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam. bridge, the Earl of Derby, and the rest of the visitors from Knowsley took leave of the Mayor, and left the ball-room for their carriages. LIVERPOOL, Oct. 10.—This morning the Duke of Cam. bridge resumed his visit in order to inspect the river, the shipping, and docks. It is from the river that Li verpool must be seen in order to obtain a suitable con ception of the vast commercial development and prodi gious mercantile activity which distinguish this great sea-port. The spectacle presented this morning RDA of the most striking character. The forests of masts in the crowded docks along the river aide may be said to have bloomed like a parterre in the bright sunshine with the gayest and richest colours. The morning was clear, but cold, and a brisk wind kept every ship's colours gaily fluttering in the breeze. The place of departure was the landing -stage, the avenues to which and the piers were densely crowded by an assemblage which loudly cheered his Royal Highness on his arrival. Soon after 11 o'clock his Royal Highness, accompa nied by Colonel Tyrwhitt, Mr. Walpole, M.P., and other visitors from Knowsley, and attended by the Mayor and Mr. Charles Turner, Chairman of the Dock Committee, embarked on board the handsome paddle -steamer the Countess of Ellesmere, which has the reputation of being the swiftest boat on the river. A large flotilla of steam boats, all gaily dressed with flags, were in readiness to follow in the wake of his Royal Highness. A little dis tance from the landing stage, arranged in methodical order, were the life and pilot boats of the port ; and at anchor, in the middle of the stream, lay a number of large ships, including several American vessels, as smartly decorated as their neighbours. The Countess of Ellesmere, with the distinguished party on board, first pro ceeded up the river as far as Eastham, followed by the fleet of river steamers, the whole of whom she speedily left, and was herself soon lost in the distance. In return ing- the Countess of Ellesmere passed close to the young and thriving little port of Garston, on the Lancashire side of the river, and which is chiefly remarkable for the important facilities it furnishes for loading ves sels with coal at the quay side by means of a high level railway. Between this port and the Liverpool Docks lie the old ship-building yards, which were also pointed out to his Royal Highness, as were the yards and grav ing dock in the course of construction on the Cheshire sirle of the river, south of the Woodside ferry, and ' which, when finished, will add materially to the ship building facilities of the port. The Countess of Elles mere steamed rapidly to the Rock Lighthouse, giving his Royal Highness an opportunity of viewing the entire extent of the unrivalled line of docks, which, next to the Mersey itself, are the most important element of the success of Liverpool as a great mercantile port. It wv.s intended to proceed some distance down the Channel and inspect the various signals, but a heavy sea rendered it undesirable to extend the excursion beyond the river. The steamer's head was again turned, and, after sailing about some time, she proceeded to the landing-stage, where the Duke of Cambridge disembarked amid the enthusiastic plaudits of the large concourse of people who had remained upwards of three hours patiently awaiting his return. His Royal Highness was con ducted to the mayor's state carriage, which proceeded with him to the Town-hall, amid the same marks of general rejoicing which had distinguished the route of the pre vious day. The duke, subsequently, visited St. George's-ball, and appeared much gratified with the law courts, concert rooms, &c. WEDNESDAY NIGHT, 10'30 P.M. The concert at St. George's-hall was announced to commence at a quarter before 8 o'clock, at which time the hall was filled with a large and brilliant assemblage. Half-an-hour elapsed, however, before the Duke of Cam bridge made his appearance. About a quarter. past 8 his Royal Highness entered the hall at the north end, and was conducted by the Mayor clown the centre avenue to a raised dais at the south end, amid the enthusiastic greetings of the audience. The other distinguished visi tors at Knowsley were also present, but the Earl of Derby was not in attendance. His Royal Highness remained from the close of the first part of the concert, having apparently been much gratified by the singing of MTadaine Clara Novelle and several madrigals spiritedly given by a full and carefully selected chorus. The Duke, in retiring, proceeded down the centre avenue, the people rising and cheering warmly as he passed. A similar compliment was paid to Sir Harry Smith, who was recognised by the numerous medals and orders on his breast. The gallant veteran appeared taken entirely by surprise by this spontaneous demonstration, and turned with some emotion to bow his acknowledgments. After a brief interval the concert proceeded. With the concert at St. George's-hall have terminated the festivities which have commemorated the visit of the Duke of Cambridge and the successes of the allied armies in the Crimea. The arrangements for his Royal Highness's progress to different points, and his recep tion at the Town-hall and other public buildings have displayed good taste, care, and forethought, and reflect great credit upon the corporate authorities. They have been admirably seconded by the merchants and trades. men of the town in the desire to do honour to his Royal Highness, while the demeanour of the working-classes has been throughout most orderly and admirable. To his worship the Mayor, a great portion of the success of the fetes must be attributed. His gentlemanly courtesy and liberal hospitality have been alike worthy of his high. reputation, and of the important and influential town over which he presides as chief magistrate. RESULTS OF TEE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND. The harvest being now nearly over and the crop well secured we may form an approximate estimate of the re sults. In Aberdeenshire grain crops are reported gene rally as a fifth below the average, but fair sample and average weight. In Argyllshire the yield is up to the average. In Ayrshire wheat is bulky, but grain defici ent ; oats are deficient in bulk, but fine in quality, and weigh well. In Berwickshire the harvest is late, and the few samples offered in the market do not promise well. In Dumbartonshire wheat is an average return and q ua . t fo u r rnpl o g rfa o r u sh t ire lity good. In Dumfriesshire wheat is unequal and a great deal of it light ; oats are light, and all the cereals well ; other are below the average. The returns for East Lothian gives show a deficiency of one-fifth and the quality m i xed. In bulk at one-fourth below the averag e, s F o i r fe ts sl, a i r r e e dspefiricnigen-str Tnhwehreeaptorist but theyie ld th e ' fair, though the quality is inferior.

On the east co as t o f Kincar dineshire there is an average cro p of arc s hort in bulk and deficien t wheat, but oats in weight.

In Linlithgowshire oats are good and up to the average, bar ley 3 lb. under the full weight. Mid- Lothian wheat crop bulks well, but the grain is not turn ing out t o t h e satisfaction of the farmer. The wheat in Mor a y s hi re i s fair, but scarce l y an average. In the county of Nairn the returns are very fair. The wheat crop is fully an average in Peeblesehiro ; barley also food. The cereals in Perthshire are rather light, but of good quality. In the Renfrewshire district the quality is very fine, but the returns from the mills are somewhat deficient. In Ross-shire the cereals generally are under the average. The returns for Roxburghshire show good spring wheat, but winter sorts deficient ; oats fair, bar ley bulky, but of poor quality. In Selkirkshire oats are up to the average ; other cereals rather under it. In the county of Sutherland oats give from 8 to 10, barley from 4 to 6, and wheat only 4 bushels the acre, the qua lity very good ; and in Wigtonshire the yield is short, but quality fine. Potatoes are generally good, and tur nips above the average. For home and local consump. tion the deficiency in the cereals will be more than made up by the surplus on the green crops, so that upon the whole Scotland will be found to have contributed her full share to the staples of vegetation.
