THIS EVENING, (TUESDAY,) the 10th instant,
and EVERY EVENING DURING THE WEEK, (except
sA
TuRDAY,) will be presented, for the first time in Liverpool,
at the

CHINESE COLLECTION,
THEISLINGTON MARKET,
~RAND SPECTACLE AND NOVEL EXHIBITION
OF THE
FEAST OF LANTERNS!
which the London Press describes as surpassing, in brilliancy of
effect, all other Fetes hitherto introduced to the British Public;
and au popular was this indescribable scene, that it attracted
crowds during a Hundred successive Nights.
Among the numerous occasions of Pomp and Splendour.
which so pm-eminently abound amongst Eastern Nations, there
will be found none exceeding in Magnificence and Brilliancy of
Effect
THE' GRAND NATIONAL CEREMONY OF THE
FEAST OF LANTERNS !
This universal Illumination throughout the Empire of China
affords an opportunity of displaying considerable ingenuity and
taste in the construction of an infinite variety of Lanterns. It
is computed that, when this ceremony takes place, there are
not less than
TWO HUNDRED MILLION LANTERNS
ent
acrd he same moment throughout the Einpire!
th;:,.trinary efforts have been made to give full effect to
grand National Chinese Ceremony, and to delight the
miter with a true and most lively representation of
A NIGHT IN CHINA !
The brilliant and novel display will be increased by the intro-
nuction of numerous
ORIGINAL CHINESE AIRS AND OTHER MUSICAL
NOVELTIES,
Performed by the Unrivalled
FULL SAX HORN AND CORNOPEAN BAND.

The Evening's Entertainment will commence at Seven o'clock,
and terminate at Ten.

Admission, as heretofore, ONE SHILLING; Children, SIX-
PENCE.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"The scene surpasses in brilliancy of effect every Exhibition
21 this nature we have witnessed. It reminds us of the Ma-
ioramedan Paradise of the Palaces of Genii; and is, in short,
ne realization of that Eastern splendour with which we have
hitherto been only verbally familiar. The countless number of
~ariegated Lanterns throw streams of gorgeously-coloured
9ght upon the scene with an enchanting effect, which, added
tothe softness of the music, renders any description perfectly
inadequate. The delight of these 'realms of glory' must be
*eXPeneneed to be understood.”—Times.
