St. jamess Hall.

The boys of the Duke )f York's School, with
their excellent band, under ~he sole direction of Mr.
John Wilson, bandmaster, attended St. James's
Hall, on Saturday afternool last (specially invited),
to witness " The World of Vlagic," " Begone, Dull
Care," and the Great Freud Giant, " Anak," who on
that occasion made his fiat appearance in public.
The whole of the boys, wth the band, marched
round the "Colossus," shaiing hands most heartily,
whilst the diminutive armylooked up with wonder
and amazement on this owering monument of
human nature. Upon this occasion Professor Ander-
son gave the following shor address to the boys, all
of whom were delighted wi h the treat accorded to
them :

A welcome—here's 1,3'
Welcome! young solders, to this hall ;
hand.
Your fathers heard thebugle's call
On many a distantind.
And when arriv'd at pen's estate
May you like courge show—
Your honour'd fathers imitate,
If you should meetthe foe.
But let all hope thatpertee will reign,
The sword aside b thrown,
And olive branches Dng remain
Entwin'd around e.ch Throne !
Anak, the Frenchmai, has totally eclipsed
Chang, the Chinaman, fd height and size, and
thus Professor Anderson a;ain stands prominent in
his exertions to gratify and entertain his host of
patrons. The hall was crowded to suffocation,
but owing to the admiralle arrangement of the
übiquitous Mr. Ninuao, De acting manager, the
whole of the delighted aulience were enabled to
see the giant without inconvenience. Professor
Anderson's is certainly the greatest " show" in the
metropolis.

sufficient time for an introductory piece it concludes amidst
the roars and applause of the audience. Shakspere's
"King John" will be produced on Saturday next, and there
is every reason to expect it will be one of the finest illus-
trations ever put upon any stage.
LYCEUM THEATRE.—After an unusually long
recess, during which Mr. Pechter has been successfully
porfo rming in the country, this theatre will reopen for the
winter season on Monday, November G. A now drama

fromthe
Palace,Poly Polytechnic,
made i a
very favourable first appear-
e, and Mr. Darner Cape, from the
Crystal
anco at this hall, previous to a tour in the country. They
will probably return to London during the winter, and
submit their entertainment to more detailed criticism.
In addition to the numerous attractions at pre-
sent in the entertainments at Canterbury Hall, there is a
solo performed nightly on the cornet-a-piston, by Mr. J.
C. Kent, who is composer of " The Charing-cross Polka"
—a spirted composition, which is cleverly played.
THE CAPTURE OF A BURGLAR AT BARBING.—At

Fairbank was again brought up on a charge of attempted
robbery and assault at the White House, Barking, on
