AMUSEMENTS.

0 FULLERS' PICTURES. L ' The seating accomodation was again ■ severely at tho Theatre Royal last evening, when Fullers' new pro--1 gramme was repeated. A pathetic yet one of tljo most interesting items i y included in the Warwick Chrouicl-e, • depicts tho funeral of a Crimean ve- • teran. Some other scenes which were t greatly interesting was the presenta--7 tion of an ambulance waggon to the t London Deaf and Dumb Society by s Mr Vanderbilt, and the annual Rugby 1 football 'game between the Army and t Navv, the former emerging victorious after an exciting game. Drama in several forms is given in the present series, sensation and pathos beiug well interspersed. Of intense interest is r I the picture " A Brother's Redemption." The story conveys a j;ood • sound moral, and the concluding scenes r arc pathetic in N tho extreme. The > plot in "The Link that held" has already been published, but it ia well- : worth noting that the i>icturo holds » a premier place in the series for qual- > jity. The acrobatic performance of. ; "Flora and her Troupe " was a pro- • minent topic- of conversation yestcr- , day by many who had, witnessed the picture on Thursday evening. The » performance is most realistically produced, and-tbe feats shown are" really amazing. Humerous alms are a feature of tho series, and some side- " splitters are screened. The orohestrai music is tuneful and pleasing, and patrons can rest assured of a capital i entertainment. 'This afternoon tho j children's matinee will be held as I usual, while this evening the budget will be unfolded for the last time. SKATING. Olympia rink Intel' good attendances at yesterday's sessions, and everyonO seemed well pleased with the excellent arrangements for patrons. The floor at Otympia is well-known to the rinker, and many who have slcated in other centres have expressed' the •opinion that "there is nothing like Olympia." The competent instructors are always on the lookout for novices in the art, and soon make them feel at ease by skilfully piloting them around. To-day tliree sessions will be held', morning, afternoon, and ©veiling. PROFESSOR VEAR. There was a good andi tLpprecia ave audience at the Sophia Street Hall on Thursday evening, when Professor Year lectmvd on heads and faces. In speaking o': phrenology, he referred to the i/itair refutation of the science, and the ridicule that had been heaned upon it by those who were in fact 'ignorant of its teachings. The principles of tie scK-nce as laid down by the found »r, wen up to the present day lmd D A been proved to bo untrue. 'He sta';-*] tl.at the external portion of the head corresponded in shape of the shape the brain within, as the high forehead of all geniuses in Science, Literature, Art ajd Philosophy indicated. Tho faoe was related to tho brain inasmuch \s it illustrated tho activo or dormant st)te of the faculties. Professor Vsa* * w.id that phrenology was unlimited in - it> uses, and lie quoted so great a thinker as tho late Herbert.Spencer I as au advocate of the-science ~ Several 1 public character readings were given.
