visited this townon Monday, the 7th inst., and gave an
afternoon and evening performance. The Corn
Exchange in the evening was crowded, and the
entertainment appeared to give satisfaction. The
General and Conunodore, apart from the lilliputian
stature, are certainly very clever In the various
charatera they represent. The former in quite an
adept in dancing, and call forth great applause in his
execution of the Highland Fling and an Irish Jig :the
Commodore is very good in various comic representa•
time. The singing, &c., of Madame C. C. Rossiter and
Miss Netlie Miller were highly appreciated, as was
also the illusions performed by Professor Miller.
