MR. J. H. ANDERSON,

THE GREAT WIZARD of the NORTH'S intejledual
and scientific Performances are Nightly honoured by
Crowded Audiences, the elite of this town. His mighty
wonders are the theme of discussion in the fashionable circles
of Liverpool. He is proclaimed, by all who have witnessed
his extraordinary performances, to be th Mysteriachist—the
40it.
Great Delusionist of the Nineteenth tury. "He is en-,
dowed with more than mortal power' Middleton), and truly
does he prove that he has the power to illustrate Shakspeare
in every sense of the immortal bard's conception—" are mine
eyes made the fools of the other senses?" With his Scientific
Apparatus, Impenetrable Arcana, Incalculable Combinations,
.Itlconceivabla Delusions, with his extraordinary power of
Ambidexterous Prestidigitation,
" You'd think (so far his art transcends)
The dei'l was in his fingers ends."
The Great Wizard will continue every evening
" To wave his mystic wand around,
And critics think it is enchanted ground."
" The Wizard much has done—much more remains to do ;
He has astonished London, and will this town too."
He will nightly continue to display his wonders, and demon-
strate that "there are more strange things in Heaven and
Earth than are dream't of in your philosophy." Remember the
Wizard's present stay in Liverpool can be but of short duration,
as the Theatre will open almost immediately for its theatrical
season. One word more to those who seek amusement. If you
visit the Great Wizard of the North's Temple of Magic you
will find that it has overwhelming advantages over all public
exhibitions :—First, cheapness; second, its truly scientific na-
ture; third, you are not kept till after midnight; last, its
total divestment of immorality. The celebrated and the ONLY
Lancashire Bell Ringers, who caused the great sensation
(with the Wizard) at the Adelphi Theatre-Royal, London,
and Vauxhall Gardens, will appear each Evening. In justice
to the Lancashire Bell !lingers, who are natives of this
County, be wishes the Public to understand that they are
elk/10..1\y;
he Original and only Bell Ringers who have ever appeared
in London, and whose talent has been appreciated and ap-

TAPESTRY CARPETS

These Carpets have hitherto been principally confi • to
the localities of the metropolises of England and .tland,
until he made arrangement with the Patentees for e SOLE
SALE of their Goods for this part of .Engl, i ; that ar-
rangement has excited dealers to pretend they sell the
same Goods. Some attempt to detract f.l their value, and
others represent what is called Florence sr these celebrated
Carpets. As such statements may injure the reputation of
the Goods, he begs to invite Merchants, Manufacturers, the
Trade, and whoever may feel disposed to examine these
Carpets, that they may be convinced of their superiority in
design, in material, in durability, and in good value.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

AUSTRALIA

Sydney papers to the Sth of May state that the moral
condition of the colony had greatly degenerated ; that the
crime and dissatisfaction was not so much to be ascribed to
the aborigines and bushrangers, as to the convict servants
and the very questionable character of both sexes introduced
by the late wholesale system of emigration. The affairs of
the Australian Auction Company, a joint stock project
which is involved in considerable difficulties through the
loose and unsatisfactory manner in which it has been ma-
naged, were under the revision of the shareholders, who
appear to imagine that the delinquencies, if any there be,
should be publicly exposed as a tit lesson to others to be
more prudent and circumspect in entering into any such spe-
culations, whether in the character of managers, directors,
or shareholders. Money was still scarce at Sydney as well
as at Port Philip, and trade was bad. The natives in the
Hume River districts had been troublesome to the settlers.
Two or three notorious bushrangers had been captured for
their depredations, but, after being tried and convicted, had
managed to escape. Sydney wheat was 4s. per bushel, and
Derwent 10s. per bushel. The weather, having been rainy,
had given a favourable stimulus to agriculture.

At One Shilling per lb.,
which, compared with the light given, is cheaper n the
commonest Tallow Candle.
These Candles are now supplied by most o e Chandlers
throughout the Country, but where they of otherwise be
had, on remitting £5 to EDWD:PRICE 11 0., Belmont,
Vauxhall, Surrey, any Private Customer may be supplied
with 1001bs., and no charge will be made for the box, the
value of which will, in most cases, cover the expense of
carriage. The bex will be charged for any smaller quantity.
Any Person wishing to try these Candles, has only to send
E. P. and Co. a Postoffice Order for Ten Shillings, and a box
containing 91bs. shall be immediately sent down ; the odd
Bd. being for the box.
