THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPHI.
LAST WEEK of the WIZARD of the NORTH worlr.,'ng
his WONDERS, and LAST SIX NIGHTS of the SONS• of
EXTEMPORANEOUS HARMONY—The Lancashire Bell
Ringers.

All who wish to see the Great Delusionist—or MIRACLE
Op THE NINETEENTH CENTURY—roust visit the
Adelphi during next week, as it will be the only opportuniti
the lovers of the marvellous will have of beholding this SON
Op DELUSION, whose extraordinary powers have caused all
t° wonder from the Throne to the Peasant, from the Peasant
la the Philosopher. A wonder unparalleled. The Great
wizard, by. his individual exertion, has filled the Adelphi
Theatre for one hundred nights, and could for three hundred.
More, but that he is compelled to make way for the Great Fred.
(not Frederick the Great), who will commence his Mephistc-
Philian orgies earlier than the Wizard expected.
" Come one—Come all !"—The Wizard will be found incom-
prehensible as he is invulnerable. A hundred of the best (if
the London Sportsmen have tried in vain to wing him, but he
Is still on the wing, and will for one week more be their Living
Tirget.
Ihe Wizard hopes that " Homo Invulnerabilis" will still be
I°s motto ; and he pledges himself that he will exert all Isis
Powers to please his patrons, and to fill his Magic Temple to
the ceiling.

A.lthoucrit the Manchester Conference was called with-
out thinkin the support it was calculated
thinking of the Whigs,
t° give them, so far SS they promoted just measures, was
immediately perceived by the Tory Journals. Accord-
ingly they directly and unsparingly attacked the Con-
ference. They were impeded by no considerations of
what is due to truth and justice in their efforts to dispa-
rage its members. Of that the Conference has no rea-
son to complain, as it was exalted thereby in public esti-
mation ; but it cannot look with equal complacency on
the neglect of its friends. If the meeting was calcu-
lated to serve the Whigs it was not promoted by all
the Whig Journals. One of them joined the Spectator
in censuring it, and, being afraid, perhaps, like the
Times, of having its trade taken out of its hands
by the substitution of the sublime principles of mo-
rality in the policy of nations, for the heartless and short-
sighted expedkncy of politicians, was anxious to decry
the meeting. The Conference has triumphed, however.
because it was calculated to promote the best interests of
Mankind, in spite of the heartless sneers of opponents,
and the cold ignorance of friends. The convocations of
the clergy have always for their object the advancement
of the clergy themselves. The Conference was intended
solely for the purpose of promoting the public welfare,
and especially the welfare of the poor. It was not
tainted, like all the pursuits of the clergy, by any object
of personal or sectarian ambition. A meeting to attain
such an end would have had our most determined oppo-
sition. But the Manchester Conference was pure in
its origin and aims, and it deserves that success which
the single-minded and large-hearted men who promoted
it have achieved, despite the neglect of friends and the
fierce assault of foes. That Conference will be memora-
ble in history, when the monopolist Parliament will Le
forgotten.

The Morning Post yesterday took a great deal of pains
to prove that the law-making landowners are as foolish
as they are knavish. " They get little or nothing by
the. Corn laws," quoth the Post. But though they gain
title or nothing, the community loses a great deal. The

writer in the Post seems not to be aware that the Corn-
li.ws cause a much greater loss to the pubic than they
confer a gain on the owners of rent. It was not neces-
sary, we can assure the Post, to prove that -the landlords
have not gained by their iniquity. If the Post meant to
defend them, it should show that they did not mean
solely to benefit themselves, and that they had not
jured the community. To prove that they gain nothing
by the Corn-laws, is only to show, like the dog in the
manger, that they have starved others, and famished
themselves.

Mr. ARCHDEACON WILBERFORCE has published his
Charge to the clergy of the diocese of Surrey, in the year
1841. The worthy man at a former period strongly
urged all churchwardens to prosecute the members of a
vestry in an Eclesiastical Court who shall refuse to
make a church rate. "If the vestry, on being summoned,
grant the money required by the parson all is well; if
it do not the names," says this charitable minister of
the gospel, "of the leaders in opposition should
be taken down, and they should be forthwith
proceeded against in :he Ecclesiastical Courts." If they
refuse to do their duty, the Court will pronounce them
contumacious, and the Court of Chancery will commit
them to prison. The ecclesiastical Chancery Courts are,
according to the Archdeacon, mere instruments fur ex-
torting money for the behoof of the Church.
This Minister of CHRIST, in his present charge, re-
peats his adjurations to churchwardens to direct
the power of the Ecclesiastical Courts against
the leaders of the anti-Church party, and he re-
minds them that, according to an ancient practice,
the Archdeacon is authorised to command the church-
Nvardens to make a rate, with or without the consent of
the parishioners. He is not startled by this being an
obsolete law; he declares that he will act on it, and
make it be respected. Verily the arrogance of
our priesthood is greater than the arrogance of
the Church of Rome, and snore offensive. The
Romish priesthood were conscious of power, and went
straight forward to the object ; they were only smooth:
the English priesthood are roughed by opposition, and
fret and gall every man with Whom they come into con-
tact. Of this the Archdeacon is a memorable example.
'To compass his selfish ends he rakes up an old practice,
and calls on churchwardens to denounce all the oppo-
nents of the clerical exactions to the Ecclesiastical
Courts. Just and merciful man 1

In another part of our Paper we have pub-
Fs lied a document of great interest and import-
aace. It is the new rate of Sound Dues, which,
ace ordiug to a Treaty signed in London, on the.
4th of dune, 1841, the King of DENMARK is to
levy on British commerce and navigation on
passi n 2- Elsinore. Objecting, as we do, to the
exerelse of any such rights on the part of Den-
mark, and denouncing, as we ever shall, the
Conduct of the Tory Government, which, ,in
1815, sanctioned the pretensions of the King of
DENMARK:. to this barbarous and scandalous ex-
action, we. must still admit that the new tariff is •
a prodigio:as improvement over that accepted by
Lord CASTLEREAGH, and that Lord MEL-
BOURNE'S (3 overnmeat deserves great credit for
having so far corrected the mischief of its reck-
less predecessor.
The great merit uf the improvement, how-
ever, belongs to Mr. • HUTT, formerly Member
for Hull, and now for Gateshead. The dili-
gence and perseverance with which that gentlet
man collected the facts of the case of Great Bri+
thin against the Danish Government, and the
able and spirited manner in which he developed
it in the House of Commons, we have before
noticed with approbation. What were the mer-
chants of Hull about when they allowed Mr.
HUTT to look elsewhere for a seat in Parliament?

The whole of the' French Journals of Friday
and Saturday have reached us. The French
Government press appears resolved to realise,
with regard to Spain, 2Esop's fable of the wolf
and the lamb quenching their thirst at the same
stream. The Constitutionnel was last week com-
pelled to admit the falsehood of the charge against
ESPARTERO of expelling the wounded soldiers of
France from an hospital; but now the Presse
comes down with the discovery that though
the REGENT did nothing of the sort, he certainly
intended it ! Nay, the correspondence be-
tween his Highness and Lord PALMERSTON to
that effect was seen by somebody, who told it
somebody, who repeated it where it could
not fail to reach the cars of the Editor of
the Presse ! Then, again, England is accused
of intriguing with Spain to wheedle France into
the ruinous meshes of u commercial treaty with
Belgium ! Can human absurdity surpass this,
or can national jealousy descend to the utterance
of more unmitigated nonsense? What extrava-
gant ideas the French Journalists must entertain
of the gullibility of their readers!
Spain, however, has something to fear
from those arrant misrepresentations of
the French Press, which EEngland can so well
afford to laugh at. It is to provoke a
counter-revolution at Madrid that the French
Journals thus indulge in all sorts of calumnies.
ESPARTERO has, indeed, the greatest need to be
upon his guard. France wants to degrade Spain
to the condition of a French province.
The following extracts from these journals will
be found interesting.
News of the date of the 17th of July have been re-
ceived from Tiflis, which says that the Turkish city of
Bayazid had been swallowed up by an earthquake ; but
this news requires confirmation. . .

The Viscount de Chateaubrian hes arrived at Paris,

The nomination of some new Peers is spoken of,
among whom Admiral Laland, Marshal Sebastiana, and
M. Fould, are mentioned. M. Cochin, lately deceased, was
to have been one of the number.—La Gazette de France.
