It is with deep regret that the Wizard puts forth the above
announcement, nut as preparations are about to be made on
an extensive seal* for the opening of the Adelphi Theatre for
its Theatrical Season, the Wizard is compelled prematurely to
finish his season of wonderment ; therefore those who wish to
see the Wizard and his mighty doings, must not new "stand
on the order of going," but "go at once." During the eon-
chiding twelve nights the Wizard will display all his peculiar
powers, mortal and superhuman, which are without parallel in
this or any other country.

LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, Is4l.

The triumph of the Tories at the hustings has
exalted the horn of the priests. Their note of
exultation is heard everywhere. All their or-
gans chaunt in chorus the victory achieved by
them over the people. Theirs, they cry, is the
glory of having defeated' the Whigs. Be it so.
They are at least consistent. They but treat the
body as they do the soul. Religion is the life of
the soul. Not a rite appertains to it to which they
have not tagged a tax. We can neither come
into the world, nor go out of it; marry, nor give
in marriage;, pray, nor abstain from praying,
nithout paying the priest's taxes upon relig,ion.
Nor have we even the benefit of a sliding scale.

Whatever be the dearth of religious consolation
at home, we are not allowed to import any with-
. out -payila? thss- Ina-Maw:l duty. In fighting,
then, for deai:bread under the banner of the oli-
garchy who suppOrt the accursed Corn-laws, they
Lave proved themselves as ready to starve the
body- as the soul.
But they exult rather too loudly. The people
are neither so impotent that they can be
trampled upon with impunity, nor so infatuated
with prieetianity as to confound its grasping,
rapacious, inscjient pretensions with the religion
of the lstwly JESUS. The priests cannot take
the Sediptures out of their hands; and with the
Gospels open before them, it is easy for them to
detect these wolves in sheeps' clothing. JESUS,
the head of the Christian Church, had not where
to lay his head; the Archbishop of CANTERBURY,
tite virtual ecclesiastical head of the Church of
England as by law established, occupies, as does
every member of the Episcopal bench, a Palace.
CHRIST and his Apostles were poor and needy ;
the Bishops enumerate their wealth by thousands
sterling. The Apostles gave all they possessed
to the poor; the priests plunder, imprison, and
insult them. The Apostles had no money in
their purses, and their missionary outfit consisted
of one coat, a stair, and a scrip to carry
bread; the Bishops visit the House of GOD in
coaches, raise lawn-bedecked arms to implore
blessings through the merits of Him who washed
the feet of fishermen ; and whenever a bank
breaks a priest is sure to be one of the principal
losers. Bishop BL'RNET, who knew the priests
well, tells us that he always believed well of lay-
men till he saw cause to change his opinion, but
that he always suspected a priest to be either a
rogue or a Ititpocrite till he was sure of the- con-
trary. Tisik-is not at all surprising. The educa-
tion, habits, and pursuits of the State priesthood
render them naturally objects of suspicion. In
the Universities they contract a habit of false
*wearin, which must sip the very basis of true
religious feeling. II ardly
