Mr. G. V. Brooke in the varied rlhakspalan and other ill,strations
of the national drama, with:ll-that eminent actor has had the honour
to demonstrate. The engagement of Mr. Brooke as a mutter of
necessity has expired, and another and very different field of ope-

tastes and requirements of his patrons, the British public. In fur-
therance of these objects, Mr. Smith has infinite pleasure in an-
nouncing the engagement of a galaxy of

observed in the selection of dist riguished public favourites, as well as
meritorious candidates for London approbation. Earnestly but re-

himseit with the animal, springing from his back to the ground, and

various Balloons, situated around the Circle. The performance of
this Artist is quite unique, and unapproached by any other person—
they are altogether so much out of the usual course of the at cle,

sents the peculiar characteristics of the South American Indians,
