ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. THIS
EVENING, and every evening during the
week, the GRIND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLEMAGIC
and MYSTERY, AI
by Professor ANDERSON, the Great
Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety
of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary
&eta.

Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos-

selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of
them on the stage and others iu front ; it is not an exhibition,
for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the
eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that lie sees any
ono thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com-
pany; a melodrama replete with startling positions . sl unex-
pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of
the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex-
' ravaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely, beyond
the bounds of probability. . o -
Professor Anderson returns his thanks to throned and
ashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum
Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid ho
has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con-
tinuous repetition. Ho believes that no professor of his art
has at any time or in any place been honoured with an
amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual.,
fiewould attribute that success to three causes ; first, that
'n his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors
the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of
perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he
has:travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has
spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainnient on
the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment
of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly,
that, while endeavouring -to provide amusement for those
who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that
it is possible
,to afford information also, and that the oppor-
tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where-
ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by
resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner,
the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the
credulous.
. The 937 letters moths subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro-
'essor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the
heatro up to the present date, bear witness to the great in-
terest taken on the subject of this singular delusien ; whilst
many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which
Atend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri-
inalists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has
resulted, Professorfienierson's exposé of spirit-rapping and
his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro-
duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex-
pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible
`or Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the
communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets
that: many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen
who, from their position in society and their well-known In-
tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have
been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so
easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every
evening, From the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on
spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the
Lycepm, how • tables can be made to rap is exhibited
end elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this
public exposition will be accepted generally an Professor
Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his
multitudinous correspondents. Ile regrets that the
names of the great and learned of the land should
have been made to figure, in the documents emanating
from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex-
tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem-
ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri-
tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an, American
spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster
frankly confesses that he 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- •
ion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the
above, has recently loft England, and the following account of
who, and what he is, occurse in the Family Herald, No. 648:
—" This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now
'n Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations
without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout
the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendidhumbug, offered him 2,000
dollars per annum if ho would Keeton at his museum in New
York. Barnum then took it fo—granted that mediums could,
be bought. He was somewhateastonished when Ms offer was
refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply
Ind honestly remarked, that the money would have been very
acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or.
phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid
of losing his power as a medium, and lie would sooner lose
his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful.
He inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the
greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is
one of the firmest believers in spiritualism," ,ZeJt is cer-
tainly surprising to find such a paragraph tee ens in the
editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom
might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe
in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or . lose by

FICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At

JOZEATTS COPARINE, SACCHARATED
C tPSULES.—CopaIba and CuliTbs are, doubtless, the best
remedies, but • these drugs are of a repulsive taste and odour, and
occasion colicky pains, nausea, and gastric disturbance. 31. JozzArt
has succeeded in rendering these valuable therapeutic agehts perfectly
innocuous, by increasing in his Copahine all their curative pro-
perties. This important preparation has been adopted by the Paris
Academy of Medicine, after more than 1,000 trials in the Paris
and different London hospitals, viz, St. Thomas's, Guy's, and Bar-
tholomew's, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Legres
Clerk. (See " Lancet'' Nov. 6, and Dec. 10, 1852, a copy of which
will 'lie forwarded on application.) The Copahine, which is in the
form of a pretty pink sugar plum, effects a cure in about six days,
either in recent or chronic diseases. One hundred capsules, 4s. 6d. ;
50, 2s. 9d.--To be had of the Inventor, G. Jozesu, sole French

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful eon-
sevences reculting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modem pathologists. Its portal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical eondition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there aro
principles of parsonal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and Rhen wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday or inconsiderate self-indulgence, bow those penalties
may be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided,
and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity- cr functional
derangement to which the timely aid of ecience cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a serlae of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate eomplenta, which have
unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorao.t
emniries, who inflict great injuzy on those vii.o are induced to Place
faith in their pretensions.
