ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

The reign of Philippe in the France of the Magicians
has ceased almost simultaneously with that of Louis
Philippe in the France of the Politicians—and what
Lamartine is to political France that is Robert Houdin
to France magical. lie is the very chief of sorcerers, in
comparison with whom Dobler is a bungler, and even
Philippe must hide his diminished head. lie commenced
a short series of Soirees Fantastiques at this theatre last
evening, and for upwards cf three hours kept a delighted
and astonished audience on the qui vice. The enter-
tainment consists of three parts—the first part being
tricks of sleight of hand, the second part tricks
mechanical, and the third part exhibiting the mar-
vels of second sight and of aerial suspension. The
eldest son of Robert Houdin exhibits the won-
ders of second sight. He is placed by his father in
a state of mesmeric trance, and then by second sight
describes the various objects which different persons put
into a box closely locked. The etherial suspension is
even still more wonderful. The younger son of Robert
Houdin is the exhibiter of this wonderful phenomenon.
The child is supported in a recumbent position, his head
resting on his hand and his elbow supported on the end
of a prop somewhat resembling a walking stick, and
placed upright on the ground. The father causes the
child to inhale a few sniffs of ether—the child becomes
apparently insensible; all supports are removed from the
legs and body, and the child remains resting only
by the elbows on the walking-stick, suspended in mid-
air in a reclining position, literally lying on nothing, and
remains thus until the curtain falls. This is certainly
the most extraordinary illusion—if it be an illusion—if
not an illusion, then it is the most extraordinary tour de
force ever performed. Verily, Robert Houdin is the chief
the applause was enthusiastic.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—The usual
annual meeting of this society was held on Monday at
the offices, Regent-street; Mr. Blandey in the chair.
It appeared from the report of the auditors that the
profits on account of the exhibitions at the garden had
diminished by 7481. 15s. 3d.—that the debt had been
lessened by the sum of 6691. 17s. ld,—that the
re had
been a decrease in the amount of admission fees, and an
increase in that of the subscriptions, while the expendi-
ture had been augmented by 1411. By the statement of
accounts it appeared that the whole of the assets
amounted to 27,241/., and the liabilities to 9,407/. The
receipts for the year were, 6,0911., and the expenditure
left a balance in band of 5861. 153. 3d. The report of
the council was next read ; it occupied sixteen octavo
pages, but the whole substance of it was to the effee
that in order to prevent a future diminution in the t
re-
ceipts, the whole system should be changed, all pr
ivi
loges abolished, all experiments stopped, and all the -
pro-
duce
of the gardens sold. But as this would be contrari
to the provisions of the charter and subversive of the
by-laws, it was not approved. The report, with this
exception, was adopted, and a vote of confidence passed
to the council. The meeting then broke up,

Up to the present time, nothing has occurred to shake
the opinion so generally expressed that this will be one
of the best meetings ever held at Chester. The weather
is favourable in the extreme, the Course in better order
than has been known for many years, the stables full of
horses, and the city full of company.
The actual number of starters for the Cup cannot, of
course, be ascertained, but no one talks of less than 36,
and some calculate upon as many as 40; in either event
three ranks will be necessary, and thus the contingencies
incident to a narrow course will be materially increased.
Fortunate will he be who sees his favourite in the first
flight. We subjoin the betting up to two o'clock this
afternoon.

Commander Chads, to the

arch of slavers. She had just previously
t.c m
made her 29th capture, the 2Gth since Commander
Chads has had the vessel—an admirable sample of per-
severance well rewarded, which we never heard equalled
in success afloat; a fine " look out" is kept on board the
Styx, whose next capture we expeet and hope to hoar
of will be the slaver steamer which was lately seen, sus-
pected of having 1,000 slaves on board. At the above
date the Styx had orders to leave the atation in six
weeks for England.
