LIVER THEATRE, CHURCH-STREET

'Ayr!

FLYING RAIL 1,
THE Public of Liverpool are respectfully informed that
arrangements have been made for the Exhibition of a
much improved CENTRIFUGAL RAILM AY in the
LIVER THEATRE, Church-street, for a short time, com-
mencing on THURSDAY NEXT, August 4th, 1842. The
Railway consists of Two Inclined Planes, and a Circle of
between Forty or Fifty Feet in Circumference, rising Four-
teen or Fifteen Feet Perpendicular from the Floor, making
the whole Line Two Hundred Feet in Length. The Car-
riage descends the Line, passes the Circle, and ascends
the other Inclined Plane, travelling at the enormous rate of
One Hundred Miles per Hour ! Large Iron Weights, and
Buckets of Water, glide majestically down the Plane, pass
the Circle, and, although completely turned upside down,
land without a drop being spilt. A Lady or Gentleman will
be continually in attendance, and will' descend the Line,
make the Grand Tour of the Splendid Circle HEAD DOWN-
mosr, which is the most fearful, daring, and astonishing
Feat ever accomplished. There is likewise added to the
Exhibition an HYDRAULIC TELEGRAPH, of curious
scientific construction, by which means the particulars of
any circumstance transpiring in Liverpool may be given in
London the same instant of time ; in fact. any Gentleman
writing in Liverpool it would appear in London the same
instant with a fee simile of his own writing. In the Even-
: •

mg, Experiments with the powerful GALVANIC BAT-
TERY by which Pieces of ordnance are fired, the Royal
George blown up, &c.; the beatitiful OXY-HYDROGEN
LIGHT, which is consid( red t le most brilliant ever pro-
duced by artificial means; also the OXY-HYDROGEN
BLOW-PIPE Fusion of Metals, and Explosion of the
Gases, and many other pleasing Experiments will be intro-
duced.

Open from Ten o'clock in the Morning until Five in the
Afternoon, and from Six until Ten in the Evening.
The Railway will be exhibited at the beginning and end of
the Evening's Performance.

Admission, Boxes is., Pit 6d., Gallery 3d.
Gentlemen allowed to make the Tour of the Circle ls. eael,
Ladies free.

ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.
THIS popular and pre-eminently attractive Resort is open
Daily, from Seven A.M. till Dusk. The
GRAND EVENING FETES
take place every Monday and Friday during the Season, with
THE ROMAN FESTA.

At Dusk, THE GRAND ILLUMINATION OF ST. PETER'S.
This inconceivably magnificent Spectacle is succeeded by the
Pyrotechnic Wonders of the
GI RANDOLA OF ST. ANGELO,
with all its splendid incidents, terminating with the gorgeous
Cascade of brilliant Fire, and tremendous Flight of Rockets.
The famous performing Elephant RAJAH will promenade
the Gardens, drawing a splendidly-decorated Car, with the
attendants in full Eastern Costume, during the Afternoon.
To enliven the Evening's Promenade,
MR. STUBBS' ROYAL HARMONIC BAND
will perform a favourite selection of Music.
The Gardens are Illuminated with beautiful tripod Gas

THE POLL FOR A SELECT VESTRYMAN.-EX-
PENSIVE CHARACTER OF A PARISH BUSY-
BODY!

We gave in our last a report of the proceedings of the re-
cent special meeting of the Select Vestry, at which, in obsti-
nate opposition to the sense of the parishioners assembled,
the name of Mr. Cowgill was proposed by a Mr. BIGHAM
(we give the gentleman the benefit of capitals) as an amend-
ment upon the list agreed upon ; and by that gentleman,
when rejected by the meeting, pressed to the decision of a
poll. On Monday, pursuant to the usual notice given, the
poll was opened, and continued open—for one hour! when
only four ratepayers having voted for Mr. Cowgill, that
gentleman was, of course, withdrawn, after no vote had been
tendered for him for one hour. The expense to the parish of
this factious proceeding will not be less, we are told, than
FIFTY POUNDS; and yet the party by whose obstinacy this
sum has been absolutely thrown away, is one of those whose
constantly iterated cry is for ECONOMY! A rare thing,
truly, is WHIG ECONOMY, and a valuable being is a PARISH
MEDDLER!

" A FOOL, A FOOL! I MET A FOOL I' THE
FOREST."

(From the Standard of Saturday.)

The encounter between Sir Charles Napier and Mr.
Hume, last night, was in the most genuine spirit of farce.
For its length it excels any thing ever imagined by Moilere
or Beaumarchais, Foote, or Garrick. We mast reprint it:
" Mr. Hume—lt is very easy for the gallant officer to get
up and say I know nothing about the matter, but I think
that looks much more like the answer of an ignorant man,
who knows nothing at all about what he is talking upon. I
should have thought the hon. and gallant member had had
more shots in his locker. (Laughter.) He talks about non-
sensical returns. Why, he must be a great fool to talk in
that way—(" Ob, oh.") He says I moved for uonaensical
returns. I know I am a fool—(roars of laughter, during
which the hon. member maintained an imperturbable
gravity.) lam a fool ! (Loud cries of " Agreed, agreed.")
But is not a man who supports a fool a greater fool than the
fool himself? (Renewed laughter.). Did not the hon. and
gallant member support me in four or five divtsions, for the
purpose of getting these very same nonsical returns?
Sir C. Napier.—Just to show you were wrong. (Laugh-

" Mr. Hume. —Then the hon. member supported him just
to show he was wrong. (Hear.) He could tell the hon. and
gallant member that he had not properly considered what he
said when he said that."

Was the member for Montrose sober' The seeming
drunken gravity of the last sentence looks more than sus-
picious. "He could tell the hon-[hiccup]-ourable and gal-
lant [hiccup] member that he did not prop—properly con-
sider what he [hiccup] said when he said that." It is,
however, our duty to disregard appearances, and to assume
that Mr. Hume was quite sober,—" as sober as a judge,"—
when he solemnly pronounced this judicial sentence upon
himself,—" I know I am a fool. I am a fool." Yes,
the ex-member for Weymouth, Aberdeen, Middlesex,
K. ilkenny, the present member for Montrose, thus respect-
fully assures his successive constituents that they have sent
a fool to represent them in parliament—how properly repre-
senting them it is not for us to say, and what is more, the
whole House of Commons ratifies the dictum by its unani-
mous and cordial acclamation. Taking the' proposition,
then, as thus fully confirmed, we must still, in justice to the
fool member for Montrose, regard it as what logicians call
a model proposition. Mr. Hume is not altogether a fool,
for he is no fool in money matters, as the Greek loan affair
sufficiently proves ; all his folly is reserved for the affairs of
the country—" he let's fly -all his full stipudity " against the
public. Be it so ; the public deserves to be the butt of fools,
if it longer endure him.
