The Heller Company
• The above Company performed again in the Assembly Booms last evening, the hall being crowded with an enthusiastic amlienee. The first part of the performance consisted of sleight of hand tricks by Mr Heller, which were very clever indeed ; songs, &c, by Miss Heller, Mr Heller, and Mr Abbott ; and a " darkey " interlude. The second and most interesting part of the programme consisted of Madame Heller — while in a state of clairvoyance — answering numerous questions. As on the previous evening, the answers were very correct. Several persons present tried their best to puzzle Madame, with different articles which they held, but a distinct description was given of each. One gentleman held a sealed envelope, inside of which was a slip of paper with a number of figures written on it; after the first attempt, the figures were written correctly on the blackboard, the lady receiving prolonged app'uuse at the conclusion of each test. Amongst other questions, Madam was asked "Who killed 1 Hawkins ?" Answer : ♦• A very dark man, who is now over the sea— an innocent man is in gaol." The audience was completely bewildered, and on the Company appearing again tonight, no doubt tbe hall will be crowded.
