PROFESSOR ANDERSON.

This celebrated conjuror, better known as the " Great
Wizard of the North," on Monday night made hie re-
appearance before a metropolitan audience at the Stan-
dard Theatre, and went through his magical drama,
which he entities, "A Night in Wonder World ; or,
Magic, Mirth, and Mystery." It ce.noprises Its atactse
,
and is divided into two parts. We are happy ost
k
the Professor's hand is as lithe and quic as ever ;
his machinery works as marvellously as ever, and his
magical power seems in no way impaired, but on the
contrary increased. He still perplexes us by Produ•
oing a flock of pigeons, when we expected a box of
handkerchiefs ; he has still a bottle Land shat poheurs at will
champagne and Epsom salts, ink rry, and
s o which seems inexhaustible. Heand still
washe makes a
twnnet,
bo
moose plum-puddings in a bat,
and yet returns each to its owner unharmed ; and hie
bell, his table, and his automaton continue to answer
most recondite questions. He has also added a mag-
netic trick, by whieli his iittle pretty son of seven years
pulls to the ground several of the strongest men succes-
sively.
The audience, which we.s numerous, were highly de-
lighted and amused, for Mr. Anderson's entertainment
is very dramatically constructed, and the various magical
acts are contrived so as to produce a comic result. Thu,
when the lady's fortune is told, we are amused at the
facts, and everybody but the possessor is delighted when
they sse.the bonnet crushed and the hat made a sauce-
pan of. Every one who wishes to see the very chief of
conjurers will take the opportunity of visiting the
Standard Theatre.
It would be unjust not to mention a brief entertain.
ment by Mr. J. G. Ford, which fills uptbe time between
the two portions of the magical performances. It con-
sists of a monologue , in which a very clecate ver indication of
a lon-winded law Y er and a very intri law is
given. Mr. Ford Its of vast powers of rapid utterance,
with a vein onight omic humour that renders him very
