The topo tying tucks weio skilfully manipulated, and tho thought-reading tests wore .-veil moio successful than on Wednesday evening. Tho Profe-soi treated a pan of handeulfs in the most contemptuous manner, getting in and out of them with tho greatest ease, nndoKplaining his method to the audience. Owing to tho bad state of the wiMthei Mm Baldwin was unable to ie poat the clanvoyant business, but she gave what was repiosented to bo a most marvellous exhibition of thought trans-fi-ienco, which answcied tho puiposo just as well in the estimation of tho majority of the audience. Tho audience weir supplied with slips of paper upon which they placed a number of hguies, a huge piopoition of which were subsequently transcnbod on a piece of ea id boaid on the stage. Various questions ■is to the position of different figures weio answeted by Mrs Baldwin, who, dining tho whole time, was blindfolded, and finally she added up the sum with tho celenty of lightning.
