Sittand Theatre, London.
He remains another week at the further request of his
Friends, and, as a proof of the satisfaction afforded to those
who ,have seen his indescribable and highly talented enter-
tainments, the Theatre has been better attended during the
past week than any previous one of Mr. J.'s appeartnce.
The audiences loudly applaud the various feats introduced,
and the general opinion is, that nothing of the sort previously
witnessed in Liverpool has been equal to it. He performs
all his
.tricks to the astonishment of every body, without
covered tables, confederates, or mechanical apparatus. The
Magicians and Wizards who have preceded him are now
thrown completely in the shade, and his Ventriloquism is
perfection itself. Being the last week, he will introduce a
new scene in the Ventriloqual department, entitled A LD ER-
MAN GOBBLE and HIS CURIOUS FAMILY! SA-
TURDAY, May 22d, will positively close his stay. Doors
open at Half-past Seven, and commence precisely at Eight
o'clock.

Mr. JACOBS begs respectfully to state, that he has formed
an Engagement with the celebrated American Comedian,
EDMUND R. HARPER, the inimitable Negro Melodist,
who is engaged for Six NIGHTS only, being his last appear-
ance previous to his departure for America.
