ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE.
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
WINTER SEASON, 1855.

THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH
begs most respectfully to announce that this favourite place
of amusement will OPEN on MONGAY, Sept. 3d, under new au-
spices, and with a series of Extraordinary Performances. As every-
thing the Wizard lays his hand on necessarily undergoes some
startling change, the I.yceum Theatre will, by a wave of his Magic
Wand, be instantly transformed into the Wizard's Psycomantheum
while the cl tss of Enterta nments presented within its walls will be
as unlike an) th,ng that has been seen before as it is rossible to con-
ceive. Preparations have been in progress for many months past to
produce these Entertainments on a scale of magnitude and excellence
worthy of the wizard's fame and popularity. His assistant spirits
have been ordered to spare no expense in the compounding of their
spells ; and the result it is hoped will be an Entertamment which,
for " startling effects," will far outstrip the wildest French melo-
drama ; with " rapid changes" more surprising than an actor's play-
ing twenty parts, in twenty different dresses; with tricks more
wonderful than those of an adulterating tradesman : and " trans-
formations" which would make the alchemists of old expire with
envy.
PROFESSOR ANDERSON (the Great Wizard of the North) having
comtleted the entire circuit of the globe, and Visited almost every
part of Europe, Am Tice, India, and Australia, attended everywhere
with a degree of success unexampled, he believes, in the career of
any individual aspiring to the titles of a co mnpoiltan artiste, will give
hie extraordinary DELASSEMENS MAGIQUES in the above
Theatre for a limited period, preparatory to his final retirement
from public life. No exertion will be spared on his part to secure
the continuance of the public favotir which he has hitherto enjoyed
wherever he has presented himself. On the Continent, from et.
Petersburg 'o Madrid; in America, from Canada to Mexico, and
from New York to San Francisco; everywhere, in short, have the
Wizard's marvels succeeded most effectually in "astonishing the
natives" of the various countries visited. His performances have
been prtroni-ed -‘). audiences emanating in the avregate to very
many millions ; and he is the only British Professor of his art
who, in addition to having been honoured by all the Courts of
Europe, has also been commandel to perform before her Majesty
the QUEEN.
Without attempting to exalt the Professor's art beyond its due
deserts, let it suffice to say it is his art. lie has devoted hmself
tor years to the perfecting it, and rends ring it more flt•ed to amuse
and entertain the public. That he has been successful in his efforts
he thinks, from what he has said, is pretty certain ; indeed a life-
time spent in diligent pur ult of excellence in any art, whatever it
may he, can scarcely fail in producing some degree of efficiency.
It is the result of this long study that will be presented at the
Lyceum Theatre. Feats in Modern Magic hitherto unattempted will
be exhibited by the nid of apparatus outrivalling any that has been
previously constructed.
knoth r feature in Professor Anderson's Delassemens Magiques
will be a complete disclosure of some of the principal impostures of
the age, with illustrations of the mechanism, mystery, and mischief
of Spirit-rapping, Table-turning, Clairvoyance, and other delusions,
to be classed generally under the now popular head of the " sell "
theory. In the Wizard'i periormances there will be found mirth,
for those who seek merriment; mystery, for those who fancy the
m'-ster'ous ; paradox es, for the lovers et the paradoxical ; wonders,
for those who like the wonderful ; startling surprise's, 'or those eager
for excitement. There will be science for the sage, wisdom for the
philosopher, art for the artistic, and cheerfulness for all. It will be
the Professor's object. in fact. to produce a play each night in which
the audience; themselves shall be the actors, and which, whatever
the plot may be, shall certainly be free from the fault of many mo-
dern dramas—the faulZ of lacking incident or exciting situations and
unexpected denouemens.
Such will be the general character of the Wizard's Banquet of
Wonders. It will be an ordinary to which he will welcome all.
The bill of fare will shortly bo published in the programme now
preparing ; and Professor Anderson, the carver of the feast, will
spare no effort to please the taste of every guest who may honour
his table with his presence—cutting it fat or lean as each may wish.

On MONDAY, Sentember 3.1, and every night during the week,
PROFESSOR ANDERSON, THE GRr.AT WIZARD OF THE
NORTH, will have the honour of presenting his new series of
DEL A.SSEMENS MAGIQUES, or the Wonders of the Ancient
Magi, and the most ren wrned of Modern Magicians. The Great
'Wizard will select the most recherche experiments of his various
programmes—from that submitted by hint to her Majesty, at Bal-
moral, to that which obtained the approval of the President of the
United States; together with special novel feats, invented expressly
for the o:casion, and embracing his extraordinary and amusing illus-
trations of Spirit-Rapping. The Entertainment will consist of
Twelve Acts, divided into two parts, and arranged so that the in
terest shall dramatically accumulate to its final denouement in the
twelfth act. Act Ist Le Livre des Recueils Chaises." Act 2d—

BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

BIRMINGHAM, Friday.—The miscellaneous concert of
last evening was attended by an extremely crowded and
fashionable assemblage. The entertainment was abun-
dant, but not too much so for the appetite of the guests,
who kept encoring piece after piece till midnight. Of
course there was very little novelty, nor was much to be
expected. Beethoven's pastoral symphony, admirably
executed, began the concert ; and Roesinrs overture to
Guillaume Tell, played with marvellous fire, began the
second part ; the rest of the concert consisted of vocal
pieces—opera songs, duets, and trios ; English and
Scotch ballads ; glees and part-songs, familiar to London
concert-goers. Mr. Howard Glover's cantata, " Tam
o'Shanter," which, it will be remembered, was lately
produced at a concert of the New Philharmonic Society,
was repeated on this occasion, the solo part being sung
by Mr. Sims Reeves. It proved effective, and was re-
ceived with considerable applause. The only other
novelty was a composition of Prince Albert's—a chorus
intermingled with solos, extracted from a cantata called
" L'lnvocasione all 'Armenia." The solos were sung by
Madame Castellan, Madame Rudersdnrff, Madame
Viardot, Miss Dolby, Messrs. Mario, Reichardt, Las
blache, and
.Weiss. From such performers it of course
received full justice, and it was altogether highly credit-
able to the talents of the illustrious amateur.
The performance of this morning concluded the musi-
cal portion of the Festival, which terminates, as usual,
with a ball this evening. The ball was nearly as full as
it was yesterday. The programme consisted of Beeth-
oven's Mount of Olives, Mozart's Requiem, and a selec-
tion from Handers Israel in Egypt. All these chefs
ceuvre were superbly performed. " God Save the
Queen " was then sung with all the strength of the prin-
cipal vocal performers, the orchestra, and the chorus.
Mr. Costa, before leaving the orchestra, was loudly and
repeatedly cheered by the whole assemblage. Thus
finished one of the greatest music meetings every held in
this country. We cannot conclude this notice without
paying a tribute due to the merits of Mr. Stimpson, the
organist, a musician of high talent, whose skilful and
judicious treatment of his instrument contributed essen-
tially to the grandeur of the i-acred music.

[ADVERTISE3IENT.I—FIoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
effectual in the cure of Scrofula.—Copy of a letter from
Mr. Campbell of Hastings. To Professor Holloway,
Sir, I am happy to bear witness to the wonderful efficacy
of your medicines in cases of scrofula. A friend of mine
was severely afflicted with this complaint for several
years, indeed so bad that several experienced surgeons
said he was incurable. After all hopes of recovery a
friend persuaded him to try your medicines, and the
consequence was that he entirely got rid of his com-
plaint. Sold by all medicine venders throughout the

Siberian Convicts.—Those poor convicts condemned to
Siberia suffer a martydrom before they reach their final
place of punishment. There they are made to work in the
mines, and only allowed to see daylight once a year ; or
some, for minor offences, are allowed to work on the sur-
face; others, again, are sent to colonise the country, which
is covered with snow nine months in the year; while the
nobles are merely sent to the towns, where they live ander
strict surveillance of the police. I have been told by many
poisons who have inhabited Tobolsk and other towns, that
the society to be met with there is most superior, being for
the most part composed of political exiles, and consequently
of men of good acquirements, chiefly Poles. The common
people, before being sent away, are generallysentenced to
receive a certain number of lashes with an instrument
called a plea, or knout, which is a thick leather plaited
thong about a yard long, attached to a- dandle zsbout the
same length. The criminal s paraded through the town
with the executioner and a priest, accompanied by a drum to
call attention, and a guard of soldiers ; he is then taken to
the scaffold, which isgenerally erected in some conspicuous
place in the town ; here he is bound and stripped, and the
executioner takes his place at a few yards distance. Upon
his crying " Beware I" he walks slowly up, and strikes the
culprit across the back, from the shoulder to the hip; lie
then walks slowly back again to his place, where he re-
mains a short time, crying again " Beware !" and striking
across the back in an opposite direction. As every stroke
generally draws blood, and as they are delivered at inter-
vals of about two minutes, there are few who can support
more than 15 blows at a time, some not more than five.
When the unfortunate wretch has received as many blows
as the medical man present thinks he can support without
endangering his life, he is taken to the hospital, where he
is kept till he is in a fit state to receive tho remainder, or
a portion of his sentence, which is only the prelude to his
long and painful journey to the dreary regions of northern
Asia.

Travelling Convicts.—When they set out, they have
gyves rivetted to their legs, and are made to walk with these,
which are excessively painful, chafing the ankles dread-
fully. These are removed about every four or five hun-
dred miles for two or three days, when they are allowed to
rest. While on the march they are allowed three copecks
per diem to provide themselves with all the necessaries of
life—that is a little less than a penny farthing ! Some of
them—serfs who are sent by their masters for no particu-
lar offence, but simply because they are obnoxious to them
—have no fetters on their legs, but are chained together
with long chains in groups of four. The women are never
chained.

Merchants.— -The class of merchants in Russia is perhaps
the most truly national, the most independent, and certainly
the most patriotic at the present moment. They are chiefly
from Russia Proper, and aro men who by their own exer-
tions have raised themselves originally from the state of
serfs to that of freemen, as far as a Russian can be free;
they have generally begun as hucksters, or perhaps shop-
men, with a ticket of leave, and a condition to pay their
master a certain sum annually; then they -have saved
money enough to buy their freedom, then saved a small
capital, and begun business, which has bean gradually ex-
tended, till it has reached colossal proportions. Ono man
whom I knew, who began in this way, died worth millions.
Of course there are the descendants of those who com-
menced that still continua trade, though many of them are
desirious of seeming noble, and will frequently expend
fortunes that their fathers have toiled for in order to ob•
tain some trifling rank ; those who are more sensible con-
tinue to walk in their fathers' footsteps, extending their
commercial relations and fortunes at the same time.
Among those men are to be found all the old customs that
have now become obsolete among the nobles.
The merchant class complain most bitterly of the
exactions they are subjected to at the hands of the
authorities. Every officer of police must have his pick-
ings out of them ; one has to furnish them with cloth
for their uniforms, another with sugar, a third with tea;
another, again, will have to make a present of a silk
dress for the wife of a Jack in office, or a piece of linen
for his own shirts; again, the tailors, bootmakers, and
other tradesmen have to work for them ; in the market
they receive all the provisions they require for their house-
hold. If any one in the market should think of refusing
to let the officer of police have what he likes to take, all
that he may bring after that will be condemned as unfit for
food. The greater the man, the larger thebribe that must
bo made to him. Once I was in the cellar of a very large
wino merchant, who was speaking very highly of some
wine that he had by him, and regretting that the quantity
was very small, when the governor of the town entered.
The merchant was cap in hand to his excellency. His ex-
e3llency caught sight of the wine we were speaking of at
the time, and inquired what it was, when, to my great as-
tonishment, the merchant told his excellency that it was
good for nothing, and he was thinking of throwing it away,
as, for his own reputation, he could not think of selling it.
The governor said that he was very fond of that wine, and
would like to have some when a better quality arrived,
which he was assured ought to come very shortly. When
his excellency was gone, I asked the merchant why he did
not lot him have the article be was praising so highly to
me the minute before ? With a knowing look he said it
was much too good for him. " How so ?" " Why, I should
be obliged to send him all I had if he once tasted it, and
my customers would be obliged to wait." " But I thought
you kept wines to be sold ?" " So I do, but not to be given
away ; for during the three years his Excellency has been
in the town he has always honoured me with his custom,
but never by paying any of his bills, which I dare not ask
for ; so, if I am obliged to make him a present of all the
wines he may choose to consume they shall not be of the
best quality."
If any one should be found daring enough to oppose these
exactions, he is subjected to a hundred potty annoyances
which the police have it in their power to inflict. The

not disprove that fact. It grieves me to see so good
a man as you appear to be sent to Siberia, and I would
help you with pleasure ; yet, what am Ito do ?" Peas. :
" Allow, at least, my wife to go with me ; it will be some
comfort to me in my misfortune." Presid. " I would with
pleasure, my good man, but you know the law must be
fulfilled, and I don't know whether your wife can go or
not. !i 150 you/happen to know where I could get a good
milch dew? milk is so difficult to procure in a town.
-Mindjeit must be a good one !" Peas.: " I have one at
home that would just you, sir, and she is heartily at your
service. Can my wife go with me, sir ?" Presid.: " Well,
I'll see what I can do for you. Don't forget the cow !"
" Peas.: " May the Lord bless your honour ! But, then,
what will become of the children when we are both gone
away ? Perhaps you could let them go too, sir ?" Pre-
sid. ; " No, it will be a great favour if I can procure per-
' mission for your wife to go with you ; as for the children,
that's impossible, and not to be thought of. Do you
know that my corn-factor has disappointed me, and
not sent in the oats according to contract, and by
to-morrow night I shall have none to give my horses,
and you know it is impossible to procure any in town
Peas.: "I have some at home, sir, and shall only be too
happy to send them. May the children go, sir ?" Presid. :
" You may send in at the same time some of the best
wheaten flour for my table, and some rye for that of my
servants." Peas. : " I will be sure to send it, sir. May

the children go ?" Presid. : " Well, since you wish it so
earnestly, I will try what I can do for you." Peas.:

" God bless you, sir ! Bat isn't it hard that a poor man '
should be sent away from his comfortable home, where his
fathers and grandfathers have lived before him, because
some ono chose to hide utensils for distilling on his pre-
mises ? Perhaps you could Let me off altogether if you
were to try ! Do try to save a poor man from ruin ! I
shall be grateful to you for ever." Presid. : "Oh 1 that is
not to be thought of ; the whole affair has been sent to the
senate, and consequently is out of my hands. Pray, could
you tell me where I could get a good pair of black horses
for my wife's new carriage ? I am told there are
some good horses in your neighbourhood. I should
like them a good match." Peas. :" I have at home just
such a pair as you want, sir, a beautiful match, four years
old ; they aro much too good for my use. I will send them
to you, sir, with the cow, the oats, and the flour. Do you
think it likely I may get off, sir I" Presid. : " I doubt it

very much; nevertheless, I will try all I can for you : in
the meantime, you send in to-morrow the cow, oats, flour,
and horses. Stay, you may as well send at the same time,
some fresh butter—say 100 pounds or so; some honey, if
you have it, or any other little country delicacy." Peas. :
" I will send all you want, sir ; but say, only say, I
shall not be sent to that dreadful place?" Presid.: " You
may call again in three or four days, and I will let
you know what I have done; but mind, I promise
nothing." Peas. (bowing down to the ground): " God
bless your honour, yen have made me a happy man."
Presid.: Do not hope too much ; I am not sure that I can
save you, but will do all I can. Don't forget the flour,
the oats, the cow, the honey, the butter, the horses, and
anything else you think I should like." Peas.: " I'll for-
got nothing, sir —(Exit.) Presid. (solo) " I think that a
pretty good morning's work, when that man's innocence
was proved, and his acquittal made out and signed yester-
day. I have it in my drawer at the present moment. It
will be a lesson to him in future to keep out of the law."
This is, as well as I can remember, the subject of the
dramatic sketch above-mentioned, and taken from a work
entitled "Scenes from Life." It may be a little exaggerated,
but that similar things have occurred I do not for a mo-
ment doubt. It is a common saying that in London you
can get anything for money; and. in Russia, I believe, you
may do anything for money.
It would be well if all the cases ended as well as the one
above cited. I remember very well a woman, a widow,
being accused of infanticide. She was in very good circum-
stances, possessing two mills and other property, worth pro-
bably some 3031. The affair was arranged as follows : Some
one belonging to the court pretended to discover some flaw
in the evidence, and offered to prove her innocence if a certain
sum were paid down to him. One of the mills was sold to
pay him, and the judge appeared to waver, but eventually
(mar-ruled the objection. Then the advocate threw up the
case, having received his fee, and another took it up in the
same manner. The judge wavered in his decision again,
and so on, till the poor woman had disposed of all she had,
and paid the proceeds into the hands of one or other of the
members of the court, who, of course, shared with the
judge. When all the resources were at an end, the woman
was despatched to Siberia, after being kept in suspense for
about 18 months. The way in which all law business is
transacted greatly facilitates this. There are no open courts
as in England, no oral testimony; everything is done in
writing, and every paper must be stamped. The sale of this
stamped paper is the source of enormous revenue to the Rus-
sian government. The manner of proceedingis nearly as fol-
lows : A owes B a certain sum of money. B writes a paper
stating the fact, and reclaiming through the aid of the law.
which he presents to a particular division of the civil
court. If this paper be not accompanied by a douceur pro-
portioned to the amount claimed, he is sure to have it re-
turned at the end of, perhaps a month, with the observa-
tion that it is not written according to the established form,
or that it is not upon the right description of paper. (There
are several kinds of stamped paper, and rules, which no one
knows, laid down for their use.) B prepares another paper,
which is rejected in the same manner, and so on, till, by
finding, that he is losing money and time, he produces
tthße
required douceur, when A is informed officially ";t

Peculation.—The system of peculation is again equally
extensive, but less generally known; but there is no doubt
that a very large percentage of the public money, that is
destined to useful improvements, finds its way into the
pockets of„those who are charged with the execution of the
imperial projects. The mode of proceeding is verycurious.
A bridge is to be built, and a competition is announced for
the contract to supply the materials, although the matter•
has long since been arranged betweeu the contractor and
the man who has charge of the works. But this is the form
laid down by the law. If there should be anybody else to
compete, he is either bought off or bullied out of it ; but
this occurs very rarely. Having arranged all those prelimi-
naries, the contractor proceeds to supply the materials,
which are accepted and pronounced good by the officer
charged with the construction, although worth, perhaps,
about half the sum put down in the estimate. This worthy
gentleman pays the contractor a small commission over the
value of the materials, and pockets the remainder. The
business is not yet settled. When the bridge is built it has
to be inspected by some superior officer, who in his turn
fleeces the builder of a part of his profits, and sends in a
report that the bridge is well-built, and likely to last the
required time. This is the way in which nearly all the
government jobs are managel, and the consequence is that
you seldom find anything well constructed. The bridge
above-mentioned, which ought to last 30 or 40 years, is
possibly carried away at the end of five or six years, which
is generally attributed to the great floods that' take place
in that year; whereas, had the bridge been properly con-
structed, it would have stood against any flood, the
strength of which is easily calculated and provided for.
But that is not their object, which is that of the boot-
mender, who to obtain work will repair the boots in one
place and rip a thread in another, so that he may have
another job again soon.

As a proof that peculation is carried on systematically, I
will cite an instance that came under my own observation.
A young German officer of engineers, who was rather more
scrupulous as to peculation than his brother officers, applied
after some years of useful service to the country, to his
superior officer that ho would present him to the emperor as
one worthy of a reward. He was answered that ho should
be rewarded for his application to his profession. Shortly
after this he was entrusted with the construction of some
extensive Government works, and sent to a distant Go-
vernment, where he remained two or three years. On his
return he presented himself to his superior, and reported
that be had completed the works he was charged to su-
perintend, adding that if he was thought before worthy
of notice he must be still more so now, and that his former
application had never been noticed. Tho superior said ho
was to be more explicit. Upon which he said that he had
never met with any encouragement for his talents ; that,
having completed rather an arduous task, he thought he
might expect some gi atification at the hands of the Go-
vernment. The chief smiled, and remarked that he bad
already enjoyed his reward, as, having to prepare all the
plans, conclude and pay all the contracts, he ought to con-
sider himself amply rewarded. The officer stood con-
vinced, at once and for over, that in that Russian service
honesty was not the best policy. He is living at the pre-
sent moment upon his pay, of about 751. per annum, and
expending not less than 400/. per annum ; yet he does not
make debts ! Tho lesson was not lost upon him. We
must only take this case as one that is occurring every day,
and which proves that a man ceases to become "the
noblest work of God" in the holy Russian empire.

THE TIP FRATERNITY AGAIN -- We have had a curi-
ous insight into the "new system of betting" advertised
by Messrs. inward and Clinton, who, although they
"guaranteed a gain in direct proportion to the amount
invested," succeeded in melting a "tenner" sent to them
by une of the "Greenhorns," whose only recompence on
complaining to Messrs. H. and C., was the reecipt of an
" invoice of the investments" coupled with a hope that
he " would not give up in discouragement, but give ue
the opportunity of redeeming your fortune on the War-
wick meeting !" The victim in the present instance,
however, is bent upon taking some dteisive step to re-
cover his money, in the hope of preventing the publio
from being so shamefully fleeced by the whole race of
advertising betting impostors.—Bell's Life.
