LIVER THEATRE, CHURCH-STREET

LAST WEEK of the GREAT WIZARD of the NORTH
working his Wonders. Last Night of the SONS OF EX-
TEMPORANEOUS HARMONY.
THE LANCASHIRE BELL RINGERS.
Last appearance of Mr. C. SLOMAN in Liverpool. All
who wish to see the Great Delusionist, or the Miracle of the
Nineteenth Century! must visit the Liver during this Week,
as it will be the only opportunity the Lovers of the Marvel-
lous will have of beholdingthis SON of DELUSION, whose
extraordinary powers have caused all to wonder, from the
throne to the peasant, from the peasant to the philosopher.
" COME ONE, COME ALL."
The Wizard will be found incomprehensible as he is invul-
nerable. Hundreds of the best of the Liverpoel Sportsmen
have tried in vain to WING him, but he is still on the wing,
and will for One Week more be their LIVING TARGET.
The Wizard hopes that " Homo invulnerabilis" will still be
his motto; and he pledges himself that he will exert all his
Powers to please his Patrons, and to fill his Magic Temple
to the ceiling.

unless it be our pleasure to give the ascendancy to the
opposite side, we must abide most strictly by their
example. This is the necessitus rei ; but we have

shown that there is a better reason for the practice,

and that if we were quite free to act at our own dis-
cretion this is the course of conduct we ought to pur-

sue for its own intrinsic worth and fitnes

To say that a man is neutral on the great questions
of general politics, and has his party yet to choose, is
simply acknowledging a defect of character ; neutrality
is not his virtu?, but his fault; and it is a fault in

these times so serious, that it is a duty, perhaps pain-
fully, but certainly,.and really incumbent upon his fel-
low citizens, to exclude him on this very account from
a post having any sort of political trust connected with

After the ample and bitter experience which the
country has had of the consequences which follow

, .
from the ascendency of Radicalism in the national

councils, there can be no object more worthy of a good

citizen than to use every means in his power to prevent

the recurrence of so great a calamity. Now there can-
not be a doubt that this object will be very powerfully,
though indirectly, assisted, by shutting out the princi-
ple and the party in our municipal, and every other
institution, with which an influence is connected. Let
us make the Corporation of Liverpool conservative,
and we shall, by that act, give a moral support to the

administration of Sir Robert Peel, of a value propor-

tionate to the importance of so large, populous, and
wealthy a town. It will be another leaf added to the
crown which our glorious cause has lately achieved ;

and the advantage will not be without its reciprocity,
for we 'do expect that if the government of Sir Robert
Peel would derive any additional weight from Liverpool

choosing a council whose political principles should be
in harmony with his, so Liverpool would be no loser
by affording this additional proof of its political identi-
