NEW ROYALTY.

This little theatre was re-opened last night for
the winter season, under the management of the Mire*
Pelham. Mr. Burnand's very popular and clever cloeuta
burlesque, Izion, was revived, and is was preceded by Ilr
pisi,ao, one-act comedy, Faint Heart mercy won in,;
Lady, and a rather weak, straggling fame called Hy bra,
Boots, written by Mr. T. J. Williams. The characters La
this farce aro—is waiter, an: erciteable old gentleman,
rising tenor vocalist, an old woman, her daughter, and a
waiting-maid, and they are thrown into positions which era
productive of more noise than fun.

The company has been strengthened by the engsgeruest
of Mr. J. G. Sham Miss Fancy Clifford, Hiss Neily
ton, ands lion of Mr. Ryder.

Mr. BEIIIIIII4 is understood to be the new stage director
at this boots, aed be intends, u soon as possible, to tom it

petite comedy by Mr. Ozenford is somewhat prernatiusly
announced, together with a new romanticeornedietta by Ili.

PROFESSOR ANDERSON AT ST. JAMES'S HALL.

After being absent from London for seven year,,
performing nearly everywhere, from China to Peru, p,O.
lessor Anderson returned last night to St. James's Hal,
and commenced what promises to be a very successfol w.
son of conjuring. Daring Mr. Anderson's abscace we hive
had Herr Friekell and Herr Hermann—professors who de.
pended more upon dexterity of hand than upon elaborsie
apparatus : but Mr. Anderson still adheres to his old plan of
appearing surrounded by glittering mechanical c"rittivarioes.
His tricks were always ingenious and complicated, and they
still retain these qualities ; some of them are so involved
that it requires an extraordinary memory to follow taeoi.
The most striking feat is one in which a 'vital; lady Lod
goose are brought out of an apparently fiat and empty port.
folio ; sad the one which excited the most enthusiasm and
opposition was an exposure of table-rapping. The professor
appeared to provoke diacuasion by an open attack apoo Mr.
Home, and several gentlemen amongst the audience
stood up as the defenders of the great "medium."
Everything that could be done, by borrowing
watches, rings, handkerchiefs, hate, gloves, &c., and
conveying them, unseen, from boxes to cans,
from cans to trays, or even to the bottoms of chairs, was
done by Mr. Anderson, and he performed his old and papa.
Inc gm trick, which he first introduced about twenty Tivai
ago at the Adalphi Theatre. H. failed in nothing, std
though not such a lively actor as Herr Hermann, his mode
of addressing the audience is not deficient in a certain quiet
humour.

Yr. Anderson is now &sided by two daughters—ore, the
young girl who is dragged out of the portfolio, and the other
a very clever young lady, with very plesaing manners, who
certainly seems to poasees a remediable memory. A variety
of articles of the most mixed kind—a five-franc piece, a
locket, a bit of cloth, the card of • Parses visitor, slips of
paper, on which sentences were written by the audience
rings with inscriptions, and other articles, twanty•seren
number—Wlllo collected in • box, and to all ap-
pearance secured. fdiss Anderson was then
brought upon the stage and blindfolded, and ther,
without the slightest effort, sod without being eked soy
questions which might suggest answers, she gave a minute
and correct descriptloo of every article. There was no falter.
log and no mistake, and this part of the entertainment was
certainly the mast striking. By way of testing her memory
still further, words, like " idiosyncrasy," and other orra.
meets of our language, were suggested to her, and she inane.
diately spelt them forwards and backwards withthe greatest
rapidity, and without the slightest sign of mental labour.
The great hall has been most gorgeously fitted up, the
musical arrangements are good, the dull Quadrant is tarred
into • Math of glory, and the professor evidently means to
succeed. The hall was crowded is every part.

THE LATE RIOTS IN BELPAST.-DEPUTATION

we are correct in stating that, on behalf of the general body

In its constitution and command, with a view to provide
such a fresh orpaimation as may be adequate to preserve the
peace of the town in the future.
The deputation, we believe, also pressed for an aug-
mentation of the force to the number of 400, the exec¢•
tire function to be vested la the person of a distinct corn•
miagorier of police, and the expense to be borne joiney
by the town and by the government, as is Dublin. Al a
further recommendation, the deputation submitted the re•

establishment of Belfast sa the headquarters of military
