AMUSEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. POSITIVELY FOR THREE NIGHTS ONLY. GRAND SCIENTIFIC KATK JITAINJIKNTS AT T'i • CALIFORNIAN CIKCuS ' YILTON, On the Reclaimed Land, On SATURDAY, MONDAY, and TUESDAY, JULY 23nd, 24th, and 25th. PROFESSOR BUSHELL, the Great Electro-Biologist, has pleasure in announcing that he has taken the Californian Circus Pavilion in order to accommodate all who may honor him with their presence ; his stay in Wellington being limited to a few nights, having to leave for India, positively in September, by the mail steamer from Melbourne, and begs to state that a stage has been erected, and extensive preparations made to secure the comfort of a large audience ; he, therefore, hopes that whilst laboring to unfold the beauties of scientific phenomena, the amusing nature of Avluch will, doubtless, bo vivid in the recollection of those who have honored him wibh a visit during his tour through Australia or any other parts of the globe, ho will meet with the liberal support that has hitherto crowned his efforts. The evening's amusement will commence with the firing of Six Guns from centre of the building, showing the practical application of voltaic electricity for blasting rocks at any distance, and without danger, rondering the explosion far more effectual than any other modes of blasting ; to be followed by a novel Electrical performance, when a variety of startling experiments will bo introduced ; also a handsome Electro-Magnetic Engine, showing tho probability of its superseding steam power. Its portable advantage, and adaptation for domestic purposes, will be strikingly illustrated by the propelling of a Sewing-Machine. Spirit-Rapping will be introduced, illustrative of the fallacy of consulting Tables and other inanimate substances. Professor Bushell will give an account of his experience in America, where, to this daj', " Spiritualism" rages to an appalling extent. Daily and Weekly Journals, Monthly Magazines, &c, are published in support of this deceptivo phenomena, thereby impairing tho minds of thousands of the inhabitants of that vast Continent. Thousands of dupes, through relying upon answers obtained from old furniture, are doomed to linger out a deplorable existence within the precincts of lunatic asylums, whilst hundreds are added annually to their numbers. A mysterious time-piece, a glass-plate clock, and. a handsome glass-bell will accompany tho Spiritual " Manifestations." Intermission of fifteen minutes during the removal of the Electric Apparatus. The second part of the entertainment will embrace marvellous and Irighly ludicrous experiments in Electro-Biology. Tho singular characteristic features of this extraordinary science will bo demonstrated upon volunteers from the audience, when Professor Bushell will be prepared to experiment upon any gentleman who may be disjwsed, to submit to his mysterious iniluencc. The great practical experience he has had during his tour through England, Ireland, Scotland, America, Vancouver's Island, British Columbia, New Zealand, and five of the Australian Colonies, including a visit to the Sandwich Islands, enables him to practico with amazing power and certainty, giving him a great advantage over his predecessors, leaving no doubt in tho mind of the spectator of th« genuineness oi tho apparently supernatural phenomena. His experiments, which comprise all the improvements in tin's astounding science, invariably create the warmest excitement, and elicit the loudest applause, for the entertainment not only puzzles and bewilders ordinary audiences, but strikes philosophers with admiration and astonishment.
