residue. 95 failed.

VAUXHALL.—Of 120 objections, each side succeeded
in establishing 38 ; 44 failed.

On S iturolay. the court revised the lists for Pitt-street
Ward, St. George's Ward, and Rodney-street Ward.
Yesterday, the lists were revised for Abercrombv,
Litne-street, St Anne's Ward, in which the Conservatives

rest failed.

The Court adjourned at seven o'clock till Thursday
morning.
We cannot close this brief report without noticing the
indefatigable exertions of Mr. Bremner, solicitor, the
agent for the Conservatives, whose tact, ability, an:.! tem-
per thoughout an arduous contest with persevering oppo-
nents, deserve the warmest commendations.

PROFANATJON OF THE SABBATH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SlR,—May I beg the favour of your drawing the atten-
tion of the police authorities to a nuisance of a serious
magnitude which is of weekly occurrence in this neigh-
bourhood, to the very great annoyance of the inhabitants
of the street in which I dwell, as also of those adjacent.
Every Sunday afternoon a mob of ragamuffins, amounting
to several hundred, congregate on the common, fronting
my house, and commence peling each other with stones,
brickbats, &c., so that not only our windows but persons
are endangered by these abornioahle practices; and as a
policeman is rarely seen in this neighbourhood, the
offenders escape with impunity.—By inserting this you
will much oblige the inhabitants of this district, and also
your obedient servant,

A CONSTANT READER.

LAUNCH.—A: magnificent iron steam-ship, for the
Cork and Glasgow line, will be launched from the yard
of Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Sons, Sefton-street, to-
morrow (Wednesday), at half-past eleven o'clock. The
launchways along which she will glide into the water will
be of the extraordinary length of about 400 feet.
At the council meeting to-morrow, Mr. Procter will
move that the resolution of the council of the 24th May,
1843, authorising the erection of a gaol on the site of the
Wavertree.hal: estate be rescinded, and that a committee
be appointed to consider and report to the council the
most desirable mode of laying out the estate as ground for
public recreation, in connexion with the Botanic Gardens.
We hope sincerely that the resolution will pass.

. . .
SAINT ANNE'S WARD.—We learn that the electors of 1
this Ward have selected Mr. Bennett, the extensive iron- i
founder, and one of the most active members of the corn-
mittee of the Collegiate Institution, to represent their'
interests in the Town Council. A better man, a sounder
conservative, and a more deservedly-respected citizen,
they could not have pitched upon. We trust that the
burgesses will bestir themselves actively to return their
candidate; and especially we warn them to be upon their
guard against whig radical strategy.
The Manchester Chamber of Commerce has shown
equal warmth with the Commercial Association in op-
posing the salt monopoly of India; and, indeed, the ma-
nufacturing interest generally seem alive to the argument
that if three months of the labour which is now absorbed
by the purchase of salt can be directed to the production
of sugar, there will be additional means of purchasing
British goods. Tile Chamber of Commerce have address-
ed Mr. Avlwin, stating that their directors have decided
upon memorialising the East India Company to relinquish
the monopoly, and to permit the free importation of salt.
STEALING A Case OF LINEN.—Mr. Rushton, the sti-
pendiary magistrate, was occupied a long time at the
Police-court yesterday, in investigating a charge against
three men, named Frank Downey, James Byrnes, and
Lawrence Ellmore, of having stolen a case of Irish linen
valued at £2B. It appeared that on the 29th ult. eight
boxes, and a sample box, of linens were received here by
the Belfast steamer, Sea King, from Messrs. W. E.
Brown and Co., of Balleymena. They were all numbered
and marked WD, with an M enclosed in a diamond ; end
were intended for shipment to Vera Cruz by the ship Reis
Effendi, now lying in George's Dock. The consignee sent
a carter, named Reynolds, to bring them from the Sea King
to the Reis Effendi; and the delivery of the eight boxes, and
the samplebox, totbe mate of that vessel was clearly proved;
but on the consignee attending in the afternoon, for the
purpose of seeing the measurements taken, one box was
missed. The next day, Saturday. a man named Rice,
who lives in Garden-street, gave information at the
Police-office, to the effect, that Ellmore had, on Friday,
left a box at his house, which he desired should not be
given up to any other person. Three men were with him
at that time, the other two prisoners and another man.
Byrnes, he stated, asked him to keep the box till night,
and he would give him a sovereign. Acting upon this
information the police stationed themselves in Rice's
house, and wben the box was called for they secured the
whole of the prisoners. The box was identified, as the
same which was missing. Ellmore and Byrnes were de-
fended by Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Dodd appeared for
Downey, hut they failed in rebutting the charge. The
prisoners were consequently committed for trial at the
next sessions.
THEFTS BY A SERVANT.—CAUTION TO PAWNBEO-
ICERS.—At the Police-court, yesterday, a case was
brought before Mr. Rushton which may operate as a
caution to pawnbrokers against negligence in ascertaining
the marks upon articles pledged with them, particularly
wearing apparel and domestic linen. Mr. Dawson, soli-
citor, who lives in York Terrace, Everton, charged his
nurse girl, named Susannah M'Kenzie, with having
plundered the house of a great quantity of property, all
marked, of the value of £3O, and another woman, named
Maria Johnson, with having feloniously pledged portions
of it. M'Kenzie had only been a fortnight in the prose-
cutor's service when table-cloths, sheets, vests, a splendid
cashmere shawl, and many other articles, were missed.
Information was given to the police, who sent printed no-
tices round to all the pawnbrokers, containing a descrip-
tion of each article, and the marks upon them. Suspici-
ons attached to the nurse, and she was apprehended ; and
information given by Mr. I'ye, pawnbroker, Marybone,
led to the apprehension of the other prisoner. One
of the officers in the case complained to the court
that the other pawnbokers, two in number, who
had received portions of the' stolen property in
pledge, were not in attendance, although they
had received notice requiring them to be present. The
hearing of the case was consequently postponed till this
day (Tuesday). In ordering summonses to be issued,
peremptorily requiring the attendance of the absent par-
ties, Mr. Rushton said it was really shocking that any
respectable pawnbroker should take property offered in
pledge by strange persons, when the name of the owner
was upon it, and notice of the robbery bad been given
from the police-office. In the present instance, Mr. Pye
was the only one out of three who had given item matron of
the pledging. There was something dreadful in this un-
willingness to aid the ends of justice; and be called upon
the parties to remember that they were keeping stolen pro-
in their possession after due notification of the robbery of
the property stolen. What distinction, be asked, was
there between them and the parties actually guilty ? Such
conduct would assuredly lead to some of them being in-
, dieted as a warning to others. The prisoners were then
remanded.

DR. COX'S DESCRIPTION OF THE STRANDING

OF THE GRE‘T BRITAIN.

On Sunday morning, an onusually large congregation
assembled at the Presbyterian Caurch, in Rodnev-street,
it having been announced that Dr. Cox, of New York,
would preach. As some of our readers are probably
aware, the reverend gentleman was one of the foreigners
engaged in the formation of " The Evangelical Alliance;"
and it will be remembered that a valedictory breakfast
was given t r the doctor and other American ministers
by the Liverpool admirers of "Tire Alliance," on the
21st ultimo, at the Music-hail, 8011-street, prior to the
sailing of the Great Britain, in which it was the intention
of the strangers to return home. Tney accordingly ewle
barked, but the accident to their noble vessel brought
them again to Liverpool; and it was the expectation that
the learned doctor would make some allusion to the
scene in Dundrum Bay, together with his high reputation
as an eloquent preacher, that filled the above-mentioned
place of worship with a crowd of strange listeners, as
well as a toll attendance of the ordinary wornhippers.
The reverend doctor preached from the Bth chapter
of Romans, verses
.18 to 25, and his di-course was
divided into several heads, one of which was as to what
was meant by the " vanity" to which the creature is said
in the text ta be subjected—" For the creature was made
subject to VANITY, not willingly, but by reason of fern
who hath subjected the same in hope " In treating of
this he said—" A part of this varsity is made up of disap-
pointments. How grand a chapter ref hum In history does
the word indicate ! What hopes destroyed in a moment ;
what plans thwarte:l; what expectations frustrated ; yea,
even, what prayers unheard ! Yet we ought to be very
cautious in speaking thus of prayer. Prayer is not
dictation ; it is request with submission. The best
answer to prayer is often not that which the suppliant
may expect or would choose. When we pray we commit
our interests to the care of our Heavenly Father; and
must say and feel, " Not as I will, but as Thou wilt."
1 am reminded forcibly of this when 1 remember that I
little thought two weeks ago of preaching this day in
Liverpool. I expected that I should instead he preaching
to my own beloved people in America. With what high
hopes did the Great Britain. with TJO souls en board,
leave the docks of Liverpool I Suppose of the thousands
who thronged the shores to witness her departure, it hal
been a4ed, " Where is she going?" who among them
would have replied ought but that she was going to Ame-
rica ; and yet in nine and a half hours afterwards she was
stranded in the storm, in the dark night, amid rainings,
and lightnings and thunders, and the heaving of the sea,
and the panic-stricken terrors of the hundreds on board.
For the suddenness of the shock, the necessary ignorance
of all as to our real position, made every one fear the
worst, from the repeated concussions to which we were
subjected by the fury of the elements. While going with
the wind and the storm we knew not its fury, but when
we were aground we felt the power of its might. It is not
my province to inquire into the providence of man, or to
investigate the abs, nce of it ; let us look at the providence
of God. The expectations of thousands in America and
in Europe were thwarted in a moment, although every
event, every accessory, seemed to assure us of a happy and
rapid transit across the broad Atlantic. I will sketch one
or two of the many providences for which our warmest
gratitude is due to him who disposeth all things;
and I do it with the &sire that you will pray for ns ; that
you will pray to the God of all mercies to assuage the
agonies felt by the friends of the voyagers, to-day and to-
morrow, when the continued absence of the Great Britain
will remind them of the fate of the unhappy President,
and no telegraphic communication through air or ocean
can tell them that the giant of the waters is not gorged in
the deep. My consolation in these events is a humble
confidence in the wisdom of the -üblime counsels of Him
who overrules all things, and who comforted the heart of
the child-bereaved Jacob, when he exclaimed, " All these
things are against me." The first thing I will mention is,
that no life was lost. What is property to lite ? Oh, how
vatnable is the li'e of man ! not as an animal, hut as the
whole creature—body and soul. While in this world you
are within the province of hope, if you are not prepared
to die, by the grace of God you may be soon. Here were
300 human lives in imminent peril. Ot these half a hun-
dred were little children from Vienna and some from Eng-
land, whose education had been ' on the light fantastic
toe,' and whose occupation tendeth to vanity. I pitied
them much, but I am now very glad to think that they
are not coming to my country, where there is vanity
enough without them. 1 say this out of tio unkindness to
wards these poor children, who perhaps have no fathers
or mothers to teach them, having not been long in this
world to acquire those principles by which they might safely
go through and triumphantly go out of it. No life was lost !•
There were even more saved than were with Paul when he
was shipwrecked on the island of Melita. The next provi-
dence was the position which we were in, a dangerous
bay, in which no vessel had hitheit r escaped destruction. I
am not pretending to give a graphic description; nor can 1
lay claim to the accuracy of a surveyor, I shall merely
state what I believe. When I looked out of the gigantic
vessel the following morning, there was on either side a
ledge of sunken rocks, which must have been fatal to the
ship had she gone in at a different angle of only five de-
grees either way. The sand too of that little chasm was
of a hard tenacious nature, and the force with which the
vessel went ashore sent it so deeply into it, as to foam a
safe support when the waters of the tide receded. Had 1
the sands een of a .looser kind, or had the shore been
mud, the receding of the tide would have let her fellaever
on her beam ends, and who can then tell what would have
been the result. Who navigated the ship into that cove
of safety ? in the wa• es of the storm—with the darktre-s
of night stretched over us—when the writers were high.
The band of God, our Heavenly Father ! Who else could
have gu tied the ship through those rocks, which would
have riddled her iron model; let in the inundation; and
she would have been a great sepulchre, and we the
corpses ! In the morning, when the approaching chariot
of the sun brightened the east, and I looked over the
sides of the vessel, the water around us was not three
feet in depth. The poor people of the coast were assem-
bling, and when I and the rest of the passengers were let
down many feet to be borne ashore on the shoulders of
men, I looked back at the ill-fated ship, and thought that
I had never before seen so fitting a thing wherewith to
compare the stranding of the ark upon Mount Aram:.
I suppose there were a hundred and fifty of the passen-
gers in the cabin at half past nine o'clock, when
the ship grounded ; and they behaved extremely
well. I heard no such thing as one profane or rash
expression in that moment of terror. We had no
counsellor, no plan, no leader. The anxiety and anguish
of females, too much frightened to shriek, made the whole
scene one of indescribable confusion, such as I can never
forget. I proposed to some who stood near me to go to
prayer; but they requested me not, as it wcul tend to
increase the consternation by making the danger appear
more imminent than perhaps it really might be. What,
said I, is prayer to God no medicine for the mind dis-
tressed ? is not God a very present help in time of trouble?
is not man's extremity God's opportunity? I accordingly
arose, and, after a few words, all waikiag and talking
ceased, and we joined in prayer, with a feeling that we
might in a moment go down to the bottom, and on the
pinions of hope and faith go up to judgment. We also
felt that we were sinners, and that there could be no hope
save in Jesus Christ, our Saviour. There was no such
monster as an infidel then to show himself ! Many there
were, who now feel that their rescue was a solemn warning
to them ; as indeed it is to you, and to all. I ant happy
to say that fall seemed delighted with the opportunity of
prayer ; and when a second supplication was offered by
the Rev. Mr. Gill, it seemed indeed like ointment poured
forth. It made us all feel one family ; there was no
formality, no state, no affectation; all gave way before a
sense of mutual danger and mutual trust in God. I hope
and believe God's providence and presence then, may be
blessed to the salvation of a thousand souls ; for sup-
posing one hundred, or a less number, of careless sinners,
to be arrested in their course, and induced to seek after
the things of God, and of his Christ, their influence and
example will produce like results, and my hopes may
more than be fulfilled. I trust it made us all resolve, by
the grace of God, to be better Christians, and walk in His
paths more regularly, more circumspectly."
The learned doctor then proceeded with his discourse;
and in the Prayer. near the conclusion of the service,
again alluded to his recent deliverance from shipwreck,
in a most eloquent and touching manner.

MORTALITY IN TOXTETII-PARK —During the last
three months of July, August, and September, five
hundred and eighty-nine deaths have been registered in
this township.
SMUGGLING EAU DE VIE.—A Maltese sailor, named
Gaetano Mastellone, was fined 40s at the police court,
yesterday, for smuggling three bottles of brandy from
a vessel in the King's Dock. The fine was immediately
paid.
EXCHANGE DISORDERLY.—One of the porters who fre
quent the purlieus of the Exchange flags, waiting for
employment, and whose name is Wm. Wilson, was
charged before the stipendiary magistrate, yesterday, with
having abused and menaced the officer placed there by the
proprietors. without any rpparent reason. The case was
clearly proved, and in ordering the prisoner to find bail,
Mr. Rushton stated that it was only by permission that
these men congregated within the area.. The Exchange
was private property, and it was not to be tolerated
that persona who were allowed to stand there, waiting for
employment, should annoy the officer on duty. In London
the parties were not allowed to stand within the Exchange
at all. In default of bail the defendant was committed.
INQUESTS YESTERDAY.—Three inquests were held
yesterday before the borough coroner. The first was
upon an infant, three months old, the daughter of Patrick
and Catherine Dowd, who live in Paris-court, Crooked-
lane. Death was caused by the child being overlain on
Thursday night.—The secornidamceadsemwaarsythAantgolfe.a

on Friday last, she was
seen intoxicated, but when she went to bed in the even-
ing she appeared to her daughter to be sober. The next
morning she was found dead, having expired during the
night without giving an alarm. She was stated by the
surgeon to have died of apoplexy, the result of intemper-
ance.—The third inquest was upon a young woman, named
Margaret Jones, aged 24, a servant in the family of Mr.
E. D. Musgrove, 51, Elizabeth-street. It appeared that
on the morning of yesterday week (Monday), the de-
ceased went into the coal vault with a lighted candle for
the purpose of getting some coals. A few seconds after-
wards Mrs. Musgrove and her sister beard her scream
out that she was on fire. They immediately ran down to
her, and found her upon the stairs envoloped in flames,
her clothes by some means having taken fire. A heat th-
rug was instantly thrown round her, but before the fire
could be extinguished by it, the unhappy woman ran into
the street, where some passers-by effected this object.
She was conveyed to the infirmary, where she was found
to have been severely burnt over the entire body, from the
effect of which she expired on Thursday last. The de-
ceased did not state how the accident had occurred, and
the candle was afterwards found upset, but still burning.
In all the cases verdicts of "Accidental Death," were
returned.

LATEST FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

THE SPANISH MARRIAGES.—The Paris jiurnals are
already expressing triumph, and anticipating the best re-
sults to France from these two unions. The Paris cor-
respondent of the Times, in allusion to this subject, says,
" These journals commence well. You will speedily
hear of the overthrow of the Pyrenees by this immense
acquisition gained for France: you will see the Prideess,
destined, in certain circumstances. to rule over Spain,
arrive in Paris, and become French ; you will bear of her
adopting the views as she will adopt the language of the
French Court, that her children, brought up at the
Chateau of the Tuileries with those of her illustrious
brothers in-law, will become, like them, truly and bone
fide French princes. You will hear, probably, before
waiting long, of the advantages secured to French com-
merce in Spa'n over that of all foreign countries. You
ill hear of the security given to the African possessions
of Vrance by not the cession. perhaps, but the application
of M,j,,rea and Minorca. the latter lin particular, to the
uses and the services of France; and you will bear how
far the project to make the Mediterranean a French
lake will have been advanced by this glorious idea, so
happily realised."
In Belgium and the north of France, the potato crop is
reported to be not only gold, but abundant:• the unsound
crop of last year being succeeded by one perfectly healthy.

COLLISION ON THE RIVER.—A Collision took place
near the Cteshire shore, on Saturday night, between
two of the Woodside boats, but owing to the clearness of
the weather, both vessels bring able to reverse their
engines, the con,equences were exceedingly trivial. The
Wirral left this side at half-past nine, and the Nun the
opposite side at the same time; the former, steaming to
stem the tide, which was running up rapidly towards tins
Rock, came in collision with the other boat. which was
running down in land to make a reach to the Pier. Some
of the passengers were much alarmed, and the boatwas
about a quarter if an hour behind her time. No blame
is, we learn, attached to either cap.ain.
Mr. Dietrichsen, surviving partner of the firm of Haw-
nay and Dietrichsen, committed suicide on Wednesday),
by cutting his throat.
ST. MICHAEL'S MOUNT.—It is rumoured that our
most graci-us Sovereign has offered £55.000 for St. Mi-
chael's Mount, Devonshire, as a marine residence, but
that the sum asked is £75,000.
Tug NAVAL STATION AT COVE.—A letter has. been
received by the Earl of Bandon from 1.,,>-d John Russell,
intimating that the Lords of the Admiralty approved of
the establishment of a naval station at Cove fur the re-
pairs of s'ea ners, ships of war, &c., that an engineer
would t e sent over at once to-lay out the necessary works,
and labourers then employ,- d in the excavations, &c.

,
A CONSCIENTIOUS DEBTOR.—The Rev. Wm. Robert-
son, of Monzievord, has received' £1 sterling from a party
in Lond ,n, as tenfold payment of a debt incurred iu that
parish about forty years ago. He has duly paid the sum
to Mr. Duncan M'Grigor, at the house of Burn, the son
of the person to whom the debt was due; and Mr. D.
M`Grigor has returned the amount to be distributed
among the poor of the parish.—Pertiathire Courier.

NEW NAVIGATION.—bIush interest was excited yes-
terday by the noble though not entirely new exhibition
of part of a sea-going vessel drawn by horses to toe water
side. An iron ship, of 300 tons, being in course of con-
struction by the Messrs. Pim, the bows and foremost por-
tion of the hull were removed from the foundry in Eng-
lish-street, in a cradle drawn by sixteen horses, and aided
by nearly 200 men to their yard on the liumber-bank,
near Wellington-street, where the after part will be re-
moved in about a fortnight to complete the vessel, which
is intended for the Liverpool and Dublin trade.—Hull
Paper.

APPALLING DISTRESS.—We (Cork Ezaminer) pray'
attention to the statement of the Rev. Mr. Daly, con-
tained in this day's paper, with reference to the destitu-
Von of the parish of Kilworth, of which he is the pastor.
Many of the poor inhabitants, he declared, at tte Fermoy
presentment sessions. had no other means of subsistence
but cabbage leaves, the effects of which were visible in
their altered frames and appearance. The Earl of Mount-
cashel, without repeating the shocking details, testified
to the truth of every word of the clergyman's- recital.
It is strange the a state of circumstances so undoubtedly
real and sickening to contemplate sLou!d occur in a
Christian land.

I'HE HEROES or THE SUTLEJ.—On Sunday upwards
of 1511 invalids of the 3rd Light Dragoons, 16th Lancers,
and 9th. 10th, 29th. 31st, 50th, 53rd,' 2nd, and 80th
Regiments of loot, from India, arrived at Chatham,
having disembarked at Gravesend from the Herefordshire,
all of whom were engaged in the four battles on the banks
of the Sutlej It was painful to witress the mutilation
whit h some of these brave men suffered in the late en-
counters with the Sikhs—most of them having lost an artn
or a leg, and one sereeant both legs and arms. They left
Ferrzepore the 14. h March last, and arrived at Bombay
the 27th April, having been conveyed in steam-boats frool.
the mouth of the Indus, and they embarked on board
the above AT on the 16th of May. from Bombay. The
ship put in at St. Helena for water and stores, and they
also put in at Fayal. Lieut. M. Deane Fteeman, of the
80th, who was shot through the thigh, died on- at*
passage.
MONEY MARKET—SATURDAY NIGHT.—The news
by the overland mail has produced no effect upon i"`
Consol n-tarket, notwithstanding its political com-
plexion seems to be regarded as far from sari-factorY•
In the general appearance of prices at the Stock-Exchange
there was no particular alteration, except that heaviness
continues the leading character of business. The deal-
ings in all the departments were of the most limited kind,
the early closing of the markets inducing many of the
jobbers to withdraw themselves entirely on a Saturday.
Consols, for money and the account, left ff this afiernoon----,4r
at 951 to Long Annuities (expiring sth of Jamie*
1860) 10 1-16; India Stock, 260; and Exchequer-bills,
)ss. to lls. prem. The bargains in the foteign. mar-
ket are scarcely worth enumeration. They include
Buenos Ayres, at 43; Mexican, for the account, at 25;
Portuguese Four per Cents., for the account, at 42;
Spanish Five per Cents., 264 ; and Dutch Four per
Cents., Certificates, at 92k. During the last week, and
particularly within the last two days, the demand for
money on commercial paper has been increasing. The
current rate for discounting bills of the first class. may be
set-down at 3 ton per cent. _ . _

REFUSING CIjeISTIAN BURIAL. The town w&1
thrown into great excitement on Tuesday, in consequence
of the Rev. S. Carr, vicar of St. Peter's, having refused
Christian burial of a man named Foster, an umbrella-
maker, who resided on North bill, in the above parish.
Mr. Carr, being applied to to perform the funeral rites,
it appears, refused, on the ground that deceased• had lived
a dissolute life, therefore he could not conscientiously
comply with the request of the family in that respect, but
allowed the grave of roster's late wife t 6 be opened, that
his remains might be deposited therein, and the bell WO
tolled as the funeral procession approached the church-
yard. On the corpse arriving at the grave, a messenger
was brought to Mr. Carr, to request him to,officiate per-
sonally, but he was inexorable, and still persisted in his
refusal, as regarded himself, or any other clergyman to •
officiate for him. The consequence was, that the corpse ,
was taken back, and an application was made to Mr:
Herrick, minister of the Independent chapel, East
Stockwell-street, for permission to have the corpse in-
terred in the burial-ground adjoining the meeting-house,
which was instantly complied with by Mr. Herrick, wh°
also volunteered to perform the funeral rites. A grave
was immediately sunk, and at nine o'clock the same eve-
ning the corpse was conveyed thither, attended by at least
a thousand persons, who observed the most profound de-
corum.—Chelmsford Chronicle.

THEATRE-ROYA WILLIAMSON-SQUARE,
IS NOW OPEN,
EVERY EVENING DURING THE WEEK,
WITH the extraordinary. and truly surprising
Performances of the WIZARD-OF-WIZARDS, VEN .
TRILOQUIST, and I MPROVISATORE,
MR. JACOBS,
FROM THE STRAND THEATRE, LONDON,
Who respectfully begs to announce that he has been induced,
from the great success he experienced on his last visit; again to
engage the Theatre Royal for a limited number of nights, pre-
Vious to his departure for America.
The astounding feats lie has now to introduce will entirely
eclipse all other Professors of the Cabalistic Art. His mysteries
have gained for him the name of the modern Faustus. The
Experiments performed by La Compt, Lodowergski, Herr Do-
bler, and Monsieur Phillipe, are to him perfectly easy, while the
mire every-day tricks of 'the East, West, North, and South
Wizards are thrown completely into the shade. Formerly an
audience-could be amused with changing an Egg into a Canary
Bird. Mr. Jacobs, with perfect ease, transforms Globes of
Water and Gold Fish into live Ducks and Geese; a single Egg
into a Flock of Pigeons a box of common Horse Beans into
Hot Coffee, Sugar, and Milk enough to supply the whole au-
dience; a Lady's Ring into a beautiful Orange Tree ; a small
Automaton Enchantress, supplies from a Magic Tavern the
audience with Whiskey, Gin, Rum, Brandy, Sherry, and Port ;
indeed, to unumerate the many wonders accomplished by the
Wizard-of-Wizards, would be superfluous in an advertisement.
The Stage will be fitted up in a style of great splendour, form-
ingE n
a complete Temple ofchantment.
Mr. JACOBS' Ventriloquism will be found highly amusing.
He imitates twelve voices in as distinct a manner as though
twelve persons were actually in earnest conversation. The time
of the audience is not idly occupied with Mimicry, but the
voices follow each other with great rapidity from various parts
ascending, descending, or receding with astonishing effect.
Mr. JAcous will also extemporize a Song upon various sub-
jects given him by the audience, after the manner of the Italian
Improvisatori. The whole Entertainment, from its varied
nature, will be found a treat not often to be met with.
Mr. JACOBS, in addition to his own Performances, has en-
gaged the celebrated Mr. BATEMAN, the first AMERICAN
DELINEATOR, COMIC SINGER, and MUSICAL PERFORMER Of
the day. He will make his first appearance in this country
TO•MORROW (Wednesday), the 7th instant, and re-appear
