!L CONJUROR:

!!Seer Vsedidart. dui wonderful Conjuror. is
now performing his surprising tricks and sleight of
intud-atithe Great Room, nisi Westminster Malt.
Tbet '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
wefil both demisted Timms. • Seserid •gantlentim

timid host it cat efrected.• The Slew illaystAted it
in the most simple and obvious ninimyr. 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

Members of Opposition, merely to tease and ha.
rase his Majesty'. Munster,. principles totally un-
worthy of the country. winch, it is a disgrace

polities! system; in theory or practice.

Sisece the days of the great necromancer. Pittiai,
the world liar produced nothing to compare with
the Sieur Veudidart. Pittiosi changed gold into
rap—Vandidart proposes' to change rags into geld.
