NicoTßig.—Mr. E. Smith, anxious to make the spectacle
instructive as well as amusing to the patrons of this Theatre,
has obtained, at considerable trouble, the Description of the
Grand Egyptian Coronation Procession, arranged and adapted
to this stage by " Dykwynkyn," from the works of Clemens,
Herodotus, Strabo, Plutarch, Diodorus Siculus, Jablonski,
Lepsius, Deaon, Champolion, Rosellini, Savary, Wilkinson,
end other authorities in the British Museum, the publishing
of which may prove interesting to the numerous patrons wit-
zeal* the spectacle, and can be had in the Theatre for one
penny. Military Entree—Egyptian Soldiery in full costume,
marching three deep, with Baud of Trumpets and Tympanum,
OP Mind Drum. The Agathodmmon, or " Good Genius"
(Winged Mob.), under whose protection the persons
of ITloge and Temples of Gods were placed, is
borne first, and in succession the other Symbolic, Royal, and
War Standards. The Lybian Forces, Allies of the Egyptians,
with Band and Symbolic Standards respectively. The Ethio-
pian Guard, with Characteristic Symbols, Standards, &c.
Idolatrous Procession. Note—Every City, Month, Day, and
Hour had its presiding Genius. Singer, with the Book of I
" Hermes." Horus Copus with Palm Branch and Hone
Glass. " The Hierogrammat," or Sacred Scribe (in his hand
the Book, Ruler, Papyrus, and Palette). Two Functionaries
with Emblems of " Power" and " Stability." No. 1. The
Ark, or " Shrine of Knounais," called also "Knoum," "Neph,"
or "Num," i.e. " Water."—The primary form of" Amnon,"
and styled " The Leader of Gods"--" The Creating Intelli-
ence"—" The Spirit of God"—" The Spirit of the (Vernal)
Deity"—" The Soul of the Sun," and by the Greeks "Jupiter
Chnumis." Worshipped by the inhabitants of Thebais (Plu-
tarch). The asp was sacred to this god. The Ark, bearing his
hieroglyph, with that of the beetle, or " Creative Power," is
also decorated with this emblem. Symbolic standard of "Athor"
(Venus), the oracle of Night or Darkness (? chaos), whence
arose all created things (Egyptian belief ). Symbolic
standard of ditto. The Sybil, bearing the emblematic rush • I

" Thmei ;" or " Truth," " the Blind Goddess, represented
with her eyes closed or blinded. The priests bearing this god-
dess have libation buckets and simpula. " Thmei," or Truth, or
Justice. This deity has also a twofold character as the God-
dess of Truth and Justice. The small image of this god was
worn by the Chief Judge while engaged in listening to cases
brought before him. A similar emblem was worn by the High
Priests of the Jews, and it is remarkable that the word
" Thummin" is not only translated "Truth," but, being a
plural or dual word, corresponds to the Egyptian word of
" Two Truths"—i. e. "Light and Truth "—breastplate4 hav-
ing the figures of the two gods, " Re" (Light) and " Thmei "
(Truth) represented upon them have been discovered. Priests
with Scarabeei. The Searabmus may be considered as an em-
blem of " The Sun"—of " The Creative Power," and of the
God " Phthah" (Vulcan). Incense Bearer, waving his incense
patera before the god. The incense was in the shape of a
small globe or pill ; and, upon modern analysis, is found to
consist of aromatic substances with gum, and gave out co-
loured light or flame when thrown into the burning cup. No.
3. " Apis ;" His titles were " The Sacred Bull of Memphis."
" The Bull of Abundance," " Adored by the People," " The
Sacred Bull of Pthah," " Guardian of the Solar Year,"
" Apis renowned over the world," " The Symbol of Inunda-
tion." Richly draped and on a car led by Priests bearing the
emblems of " Serapis" or " Sari Api," " The Pillar of Mensu-
ration, " Column of Measurement," or " Nilometer" of wood
divided into cubits. Attendant priests also fen the idol and
offer homage as it passes forward. The festivals in honour
of Apis lasted 7 days, on which occasion a large concourse of
people assembled at Memphis—the priests led the Sacred
(living) Bull in solemn procession, every ono coming forward
from their houses to welcome him. Pliny and Solinus affirm
that children who smelt his breath were thought thereby
•
gifted with the power of predicting future events. The tokens
which distinguished this Sacred Bull at its birth were a white
tse. spot resembling a crescent on its right side, and a lump under
ts' its tougue.in the form ota,...lagotio,as pretended by the priests.
The people bene.veo him to be the cause of the swelling and
inundation of the Nile, which produced fertility and abund-
ance, and celebrated his festival at about the period of this
annual occurrence with every demonstration of rejoicing and
literal abandonment to the intoxication of joy all over the
kingdom. Many temples were erected and dedicated to
" Apis," and also to " Serapis," the divinity of the Column
of Measurement—the Nilometer ! N.B. The decorations of
the drapery upon the bull and carriage are principally com-
posed of the first flowers that spring from the earth after the
recession of the flood—i.e., the Lotus and Meliolotus. Priests
with the pretended God " Canopus," or Water Offering to
the God of the Nile. "It is said that the Chaldeans, trans-
porting the fire, which was their God, into all the provinces,
offered to let him combat with those of other nations,
on condition that if he remained the conqueror they should
adore him. The priests of Canopus accepted the challenge and
devised this stratagem. They fabricate in Egypt pitchers of au
extremely porous earth, through which the water filtrates and
is purified. The Arch-priest took one of them, stopped the
pores with wax, and painting it of various colours filled it with
water, and made it his god. He covered it with the head of
au ancient statue, said to be that of the pilot of Menelaus.
The Chaldeans presented themselves ; the contest began ;
they lighted their fires around the vase ; the wax melts, the
water runs through the vase and extinguishes the fire. The
fraud of the priest gave the victory to Canopus over the
Chaldean deity. From that moment his image has been re-
presented with very short feet, a narrow back, and the belly
and back rounded like a pitcher. It is under this form that
he is worshipped as the vanquisher of all the gods."—Ruffin
Histoire de l'Eglise, Eyre second. No. 4. The Goddess
" Pash-t," " The Memphian Lioness," " The Beloved of
Pthah," "The Goddess of Fire," " Bubastes" (the Diana of
the Greeks) preceded by sacred dancers. The Idol carried by
priests in their leopard-skin dresses, with red incense flaming
before her, and surrounded by " Symbolic Divinities,"
" Winged Geniuses," &c. One or the principal festivities
held in Egypt was at Bubastis. in honour of the Pash-t-
-700,000 persons of both sexes being present. A great num-
ber of victims were sacrificed, wine was profusely drunk,
dancing of the wildest character went forward, men played
flutes; women sang and shrieked as loud as possible,
struck the " Crotola" (cymbals) or clappers of wood and
metal, &c. Lotus Dancers (Females). Incense Bearers. No. 5.
Tim god " Osiris," as " Osiris Pethempamentes" (the Pluto of
the Greeks). "He who is resident in the Hades," " Presi-
dent of the Amenti," " Receiver and Giver," " The Sun,"
" The Eye of the World," " The Source of the Nile," " He
who has many Eyes," a form of Ammon, wearing the " Ati,"
and having the Crook and Flagellum ; regarded as the author
of Time, from the word, " Osch-Iri," " the maker of Time."
The principle office of this deity was to judge the dead, and
to rule over that_ kingdom where the souls of good men
were admitted to eternal felicity. This deity was very
famous- his temples and priests were to be found in al-
most every part of Egypt; the sacred rites of Osiris were a
profound mystery, never revealed. His name was even
avoided, as of too august a nature to be mentioned. The "Ivy,"
with which the Priests decorated themselves, was sacred to
him, and also the " Meliolotus." No. 6. The Sacred Boat of
the Amenti, or Lower Regions, with the four genii, or demi-
gods (bearing emblems of life and power) and their vases of
" Amenti," or that subterraneous region where they (the
Egyptians) imagined the souls of the dead to go after their
decease. The first genius is " Amset," " Judge of the
Amenti" (human-headed). The second is " Hepi," " Con-
cealed Number" (baboon-headed). The third is " Tuautmutf,"
" Adorer of his Mother" (jackall-headed), The fourth is
" Kabh-senuf," " Refresher of his Brethren" (hawk-headed).
The Sepulchral Vases have heads in shape of the four genii of
the dead, and each was employed for holding a portion of the
• viscera of the deceased, embalmed separately and deposited in
• them. On the " Amset" Vase is inscribed the speech of
" Isis" to the dead ; on that of " Hepi" is a similar speech t-om
" Nepthys ;" on that of "Tuautmutf, one from "Neith;" and
on that of " ICabh-senuf," one from " Selk ;" the purport of
each being a.nassnrance of protection, and of being "near thee,"
" beside thee," or "tlrme to be beside thee." The Sacred
Boat is followed by h
"The Sun," emblems of thesy llbolic " Eyes of Osiris," or of

OYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. THIS
EVENING, and every evening during the
week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC
and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great
Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety
of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary
effects.

. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos-
sessing distinctive- characteristics and peediiar phases of
amusement. It is not a monologue, for the auflieuce them-
selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of
them on the stage and others iu front ; it is no'. an exhibition,
though everything becomes metamorphosed before the

eyes of the visitors no one can be poqitive that he sees P-iy
one thing ; lmt it is a comedy really performed by the com-
pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and nnex-

...._—
. . .
pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of
the public every night to apptar as auxiliaries ; and an ex-
travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond
the bounds of probability.

Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and
fashion-ble audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum
Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose g-nerous aid he
has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con-
tinuous repetition. He believes that no processor of his art
has a:; any time or in any place been honoured with an
amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual.
He would attribute that success to three CallSo3 ; first, tirt
in his present entertainment he has placed before his visitors
the results of a life sedu'olsly devoted to the attainment of
perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which lie
has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has
spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment 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 hoooar him with their presence, he lies pot forqotten that
it is possib'e 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 on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro-
fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the
theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in-
terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst
many of them hear melancholy evidence to the dangers which
at:;end a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri-
tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has
resulted, Professor Anderson's expos() 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
for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the

communications which reach him on the subject. He regrAs
that many of these should. come from ladies and. gentlemen

who, from their position in society and their well-k nown
tellectual attainments„hewould least have expected to have

been converts to a belief so preposterous iu 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
Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited

and elucid-ited. It is respectfully requested that this
public exposition will be accepted generally as Prof6-.7,i1;
Ainittraores only-. merle of replying at full length to his
multitudinous correspondents. He 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 Spirt.-'
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
,olution 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. 645:
This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now
in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations
without apparatus. Barnum, who is w&I-known throughout
the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2,000
dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New
York. Barnum then took it for granted that mcdiumv could
be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was
refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply
and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very
acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 2e), an or-
phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid
of losing his power as a medium, and he 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." It is cer-
tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this 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
this accession to its adherents ? and, with Barnum's endorse-
ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely
to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not :
hut, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of
England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross
a swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the
Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and
writes a book on the subject, he considers it t be time for
him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which
it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the
Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir
David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel,
in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that
which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night--that
spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad
purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day,
however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one
who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their
seance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the
table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most
extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac-
cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and
then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's
right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through-
out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of
the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that
the most talented men of the day arc permitting themselves
to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the
greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the
subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention"
I has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall,

Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual-
ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will

_ .
be received by the people of England as genuine honest at-
tempts to provide au antidote for the bane of the spiritual
jugglers.

than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so
