ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE. —TAIS
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, no*el and extraordinary
• ffects.

Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos-
sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of
amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them-
selves perform their parts with the principal actor; some of
them on the stage and others in front ;,it is not an exhibition,
or though everytliing becomes metamorphosed before the
eyes of the- visitors no one can be p*gitive that he.kees any
one thing ; but it is a comedy really performed by the com-
pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex-
pected denouements ; a magnificent syketacle, with 2,000 of
the public every night to appear as arailiaries ; and an ex-
ravaganza, in which all that seems tote is entirely beyond
.he bounds of probability.
Professor Anderson returns his theirs to thronged'and
ashionable audiences which have'nigh y filled the Lyceum
Theatre to overflow, and by int ans of Anse generous aid he
has been enabled to announce /•ic Mystery for con-
tinunnazalictition: • He belie'edFlha oirethirlOr
l• as at any time or in any place been honoured with an
amount of SRCCCSEI so extensive, so decided, and so unusual.
fie would attribute that success to three causes; first, that
presentn
of a l entertainmentife
sedulously h ed
ehasvo t
ed placedto beforethe
attainment his visitors
o f
perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he
thehash
travelled
s results
the globe in every clime; secondly, that he has
.pared 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 honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that
;t 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. •

Secondly—A Branch Railway or Tramway, commencing by
a Junction with the said intended Main Line of Railway in a
field called Bohemia Field, situate near to Tenford Mill, in
the parish of Cheadle aforesaid, and terminating at or near a
certain piece or parcel of land' known as the Freeholders
allotment at Hollington, situate near or adjoining a certain
Stone Quarry, owned and occupied by William Seal, at Frei-
lington aforesaid, in the township of Madeley Holme, in the
said parish of Checkley, and which intended Branch Rail-
way or Tramway will pass from, in, through, or into, or
be situate within the several parishes, townships, extra paro-
chi it and other places following, or some of them, that is to
say, Draycot in the Moors, Totmanslow, Tenford, Cheadle,
Upper Team, Lower Tian, Checkley, Hol4l.mgtou and Madeley
Holm°, all in the said county of Stafford.
Thirdly— A Branch Railway or Tramway commencing by a
Junction with the said intended Main Liao of Railway at or
near the north end of an occupation road at Mobberley, in
the Huntley quarter of the parish of Cheadle, numbered
1,595 on the parish plan of the Huntley quarter of the said
parish, and terminating in or near to a certain field called
the Mill Pool Meadow, adjoining the Whympney Wood, be-
longing to and occupied by Edward Buller, Esquire, in the
parish of Dilborn, in the said county, and which last-men:.
tioned. Branch Railway or Tramway will pass through, in,
from, or into, or be situate within the several parishes, town-
ships, extra parochial or other places following, or some of
them, that is to say, Cheadle, Tenford, Huntley, Mob-
berley, Cheadle mill, Brookistone, Foresbrook, and Dilhorn,
all in the said county of Stafford.
And it is intended by the said Act to take powers for all
or some of the following purposes, that is to say :—To sell
and transfer, or to let on lease the said undertaking to the
North Staffordshire Railway Company, and to enable the said
North Staffordshire Railway Company to purchase or take a
lease of the same, or otherwise to enable the said intended
Company and the North Staffordshire Railway Company to
make and carry into effect such contracts and arrangements,
with respect to the working and management of the traffic
upon the said intended Railway and Branches, upon such
terms and conditions, and subject to such restrictions as may
be mutually agreed upon or be specified in the said intended
Act, and for the purposes aforesaid to amend, vary, and en-
large the provisions of the several Acts of Parliament follow-
ing, or some of them, that is to say :—The Acts relating to
the North Staffordshire Railway Company (local and personal),

108; 11th and 12th Viet., caps. 66 and 83; 13th and 14th

other places, or any of them with which it may bo necessary
to interfere hi the construction of the said intended works or
any of them.
And it is intended by such act to vary, repeal, or extin-
guish all existing rights, privileges, or exemptions in any
manner connected with the lands and buildings, or other
property or works proposed to be purchased or taken or in-
terfered with, or which would in any manner impede or inter-
fere with the construction, maintenance, or use of the said
intended railway and works or any of them, and to confer
other rights, privileges, and exemptiOns.
And it is intended by the said act for the purpose of carry-
ing the said undertaking into effect, to create a joint stock or
capital, and to confer on the said company so to be incorpo-
rated, and to make applicable to the objects of the said bill all

The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro-
essor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the
heatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in-
terest taken on the subject of this singular. delusion ; whilst
many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which
ttend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the." Spiri-
nalists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has
resulted, Professor Anderson's expose 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
~asily 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 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 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-
'nal Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American
spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster
frankly confesses that ho is sorely puzzled' at what ho 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
4olution 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. left England, and the following account of
who, and what he is, occurs 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, offeredhim 2,000
dollars per annum if ho would perform at his museum in New
York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could
he bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was
refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply
Ind honestly remarked, that the money would have been very
Aecentable to him, for he woe poor. young (under 20), an or-
and in very had hear... Lib*. -wW.I hva'he.e
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 whore
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 ti be time for
him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which
tis 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
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
'séance 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 are 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"
has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall,
Professor Anderson trusts that his exposays of the spiritual-
'stli of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will
he received by the people of England as • genuine honest at-
tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual
iugglers.
In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have
visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larger number, it is believed,
Shan has ever before been assembled within its walls in so
short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every oven.

perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
ioquences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
ehich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
lood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
;they class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its pernsal is
,articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, 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 arc
?disciples of personal management which cannot bo violated without
,etirring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
re heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these pcnoavltios
;ay be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be rem
ed,
6nd how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all,
',at there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a
extensivecure.
which have
,ractice in the treatment of these delicate complaints,

(front a Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette )
WAR DEPARTMENT, Nov. 29.
Lord Panwure has this day received a despatch and its
enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad-
dressed to his lordship by General Sir William Codring-
ton, K.C.B.

Sebastopol, Nov. 17.
My Lord,—On the 15th inst., about .1 p.m., a terrific
explosion shook the army and spread heavy destruction
in the immediate neighbourhoo-f of its force ; even here,
at Head-Quarters, two and a half miles perhaps distant,
it burst open and broke windows, all felt the power of
it, and the high column of smoke, with shells bursting
in the midst and around it, told too well the cause, and
showed the danger of all within its reach.
It was not long before we were on the spot. To the
sudden burst bad succeeded a continued and dark drift
of smoke, which told its tale of continued fire and danger;
constant bursting of shells was going on, and the ground
was covered with bits of wood, musquet ball, and splin-
ters of shells from the first heavy explosion, which had
strewed the ground with destruction, and killed and
hurt very many people.
100,000 pounds of powder had exploded in the French
siege train, set tire to all the stores there, and to our
neighbouring; English park where all was fiercely burn-
ieg, whilst the tendency of the light air at first threat-
ened a second and as serious an accident from powder,
not eighty yards off, for the roof of the building bad been
damaged awl the door blown in by the shock.
Some general officers had fallen in and marched part
of their divisions down, others sent some in fatigue, some
with stretchers for the wounded, all exerted themselves
with the French with an energy and disregard of danger
that was admirable ; blankets were taken to the exposed
store, placed and wetted on the roof by water being
passed up in buckets ; the doors were covered with wet
blankets and sandbags, and in a short time it was re-
ported and looked safe, though the closeness of the fire
and frequent explosions could not allow the feeling of
security. Many detached though small fires were burn-
ing, and the ground of both the French and English
parks, a space of 150 yards across, was a mass of large
fires, some of fuel, some of huts, some of gun carriages,
boxe, handspikes, and rope.
_ _

The fortunately light air had rather changed its direc-
tion, and by breaking up and dragging away things a
sort of lane was at first first formed, the fires cut off, and
gradually got under control, because confined to smaller
though fierce fires, but manageable.
I saw everyone working well, and I know that French
and English took live shells from the neighbourhood of
danger to a more distant spot, and at a later period
parties threw what earth the rocky soil could give upon
the fires, and helped much to subdue them ; all was safe
about 7 p.m., and a strong guard and working party
posted for the night.
The army was under arms the following morning be-
fore daylight, and everything being quiet I ordered the
divisions to turn in, and continue tho working parties in
the roads, which I had counter-ordered for that morning.
The exploded powder store was situated in the ruins
of some walls which had advantageously been
made
of for the purpose of shelter ; it had been the
store
uosef
front,
supply to the French attack on the Malakhoff
it contained the powder which had been brought
back
fromlt is at the their batter
head .of the ravine, which, as it gets to-
wards Sebastopol, forms the steepandocky valley of
Ravin du Carnage.
The Light Division was on the
on the right, then the
g round which it first
took up in Oct., 1854; the R
7th, the 33,1, and 23d ; on thieliresolneftthteheri3g4htthfrßoengtimineandt,.
which subsequently joined, was waasspot of ground by the Sap-
vance ; and the vacating
:hen commanding the division,
pers' camp enabled me,
to place the Artillery an des. Brigade on the
fi
immediate right of ther .
The French subsequently
has brought their main siege
train and store to the position it nowfor some time
occupied.
Daylight showed the damage, of which I have given
your
lordship an outline in another lette B
r.But the more
important and sad part is the loss of life, and the
ded who have suffered.
wOnnie officer and 20 non-commissioned officers and men,
killed ; 4 officers and 112 noncommissioned officers and
men, wounded ; with 7 missing, show the sudden and
fatal power of the shock, which not only destroyed in
its immediate neighbourhood, but wounded, by shell
and splinters, some at a distance of three-quarters of a.
mile.
The loss of our Allies is distressingly heavy.
I have, &c.,
