THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPHI,

LAST WEEK of the WIZARD of the NORTH working
his WONDERS, and LAST SIX NIGHTS of the SONS of
EXTEMPORANEOUS HARMONY—The Lancashire Bell
Eineers.

All who wish to see the Great Delusionist—or MIRACLE
OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY—must visit the
Adelphi during next week, as it will be the only opportunity
the lovers of the marvellous will have of beholding this SON
OF DELUSION, whose extraordinary powers have caused all
to wonder from the Throne to the Peasant, from the Peasant
to the Philosopher. A wonder unparalleled. The Great
Wizard, by his individual exertion, has tilled the Adelphi
Theatre for one hundred nights, and could for three hundred
mere, but that he is compelled to make way for the Great Fred.
(not Frederick the Great), who will commence his Mephisto-
phdian 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 of
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
Target.

The Wizard hopes that " Homo Involnerabilis" will still be
his motto ; and he pledges himself that he will exert all his
powers to please his patrons, and to fill his Magic Temple to
the ceiling.

LONDON:
MONDAY, AUGUST 23, 1841.

As the day approaches on which Parliament
will be opened for business by a speech from
the Throne, albeit not delivered by her MAJESTY
in person, speculation is very busy with what
it will contain and what the parties will do.
We have never for one moment supposed that
the Ministers would retire till after they had,
by some distinct vote, ascertained the sense of
the present House of Commons, on the mea-
sures they proposed to the last Parliament.
The Tory journals have indeed threatened them
if they remained in office for that purpose, but for
their bullying there was no ground, and it
could have no effect. It was merely the rail.
ing of disappointment. Ministers will at least
endeavour to ascertain the sense of the
new Parliament, by the speech from the
Throne, and by such an address as shall render it
difficult for the Tories, with all their Parlia-
mentary tact and their majority-, to avoid de-
claring by a vote what answer the electors have
given to the appeal made to them. The speech
will not be so bold and uncompromising as we
wish, but it will compel the Tories to propose an
amendment, and a debate will ensue, which is
expected to last all the week.

The Tories will, of course, try to shuffle away
from any declaration of opinion as to the measures
which are necessary for the country. Their tactics
are obvious from the language of their journals.
As the latter have railed day after day against
Ministers for remaining in office, so the Tories in
Parliament will turn all the debates on the con-
duct of the Whigs. They will refer to the vote
of want of confidence, and will refuse, if they
can, to discuss any question connected with the
situation of the country, or with sugar or corn.
They will, probably, propose some amendment
turning on that vote, and endeavour to prevent
any decision co cerning the measures of the
Ministers. They will make the debate a personal
dispute; they will say that the appeal made to
the electors was, whether they had confidence
in the Whigs, not whether the people want
cheap food, and all consideration of the measures
necessary for the welfare of the country will be
discarded.

It may serve the purposes of the Tories to
make the debate a personal dispute. With the
House of Commons for judges, and a suit in-
stituted between them and the Whigs, they
will get a verdict in their favour. But it will
not serve the dignity of the House of Com-
mons, nor the interest of the people, to en-
gage that assembly in such personal squab-
bles. The bulk of the people are now too observing
and have too much kaowledze of what the
Parliament ought to do, and if they see the in-
terests of the country continually sacrificed ,
