THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPHL.

We understand the Great Wizard of the North has
succeeded in engaging Mademoiselle Rossini, the great
Italian lady violinist, who has lately created so great a
sensation on the Continent. Her execution, we are in-
formed (by competent judges) is not inferior to that of
Paganini. If this be true, the sooner the Wizard thinks
of enlarging the Adelphi Theatre the better—though it
will be an easy task to him, who can do greater impossi-
bilities, by the touch of his necromantic wand.
The lovers of Scotland will have a great national treat
next week at the. Adelphi. The Wizard of the North
has engaged the Highland Dancers and Pipers, who ap-
peared before the Queen at Dunheld and Teymouth
Castle, during her Majesty's recent visit to the Land of
Cakes. To the English this will be a great treat ; it
will convey to the mind a style perfectly unknown in
England. To the Scotchman, it will warm his heart to
see the tartan, and delight his ears, to hear the sound
of his native pipes. We are quite certain next week it
will be "Caledonia, on to the Wizard !" The Wizard
deserves great praise for the manner in which he caters
for the public. We wish managers would take a leaf
out of his book. We are perfectly astonished—go when
we will to the Adelphi, it is always crowded. Tho
Wizard must be making gold by magic. Wo should
suppose lie will have a pretty round suns to give th©
collector of the Income-tax, unless he can pay it a la
presto !

[A DVERTISEMENT.]—A CURE THAT MUST ASTONISH
TIM WORLD, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Mrs. Lee, keep-
ing a small shop in Brick-lane, Spitalfields, had for five
years suffered from piles, but more particularly from a
general and fearful bearing down of the body, her health
was conceived to be completely ruined,slie
swh-er

brought
almost to beggary, by doctors' ; when
menced the use of these miraculous pills, her friends con-
sidered her past cure, but in two months by their means,
she was made as sound and as strong a woman as ever
i she was in her life. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment) at
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, (where

MURDER.—On the 9th inst. an inquest was held
before Mr. George Bradshaw on view of the body of
John Furlong, who was found murdered near Cappa-

most patient investigation, the wife of deceased, together
with her father, named Hayes, and his two sons, were
committed to our county gaol, charged with having corn-
, mitted this diabolical act.—Tipperary Constitution.

THE WILFULNESS OF WOMAN.
A NOVEL.

By the Authoress of "The History of a Flirt," &c.
" This is a very brilliant novel. The vigour and power displayed
in those pages shames the masculine intellect of the best male writer
of the day, at the same time the writer's knowledge of the female
heart is so great and subtle, that we can Imagine that no one but a
woman could have written them. The character of the wilful
narriet Trelawney is drawn in a most masterly manner ; but it
weak! he needless to pick out particular actors in this most extraor-
dinary novel. No novelist of the present day has so much mastery
ever the passions of the reader as the writer of the work before us.
Rotting has Issued from the press equal to it since the last work by
the same hand."—Weekly Chronicle.
