Righness Prince Albert on two different occasions, are now to be
seen in the Cosmorama Rooms, 209, Regent-street, every day from
twelve to two o'clock, and from three to live ; and from seven to nine
In the evening. The dwarfs are three in number, two males and a
Male (brothers and sister) ; they are fatly equipped in the High-
lakd garb, and perform a s'-ries of national, martial, and festive
d ane es . The two males, who are remarkably active, excel in the
celebrated Gille Coullam, or Sword Dance ; and so extraordinary- is
the Muscular development of the eldest that he can with ease carry
two 561 b. weights about the room. He a, :d his brother exhibit all
the positions of the broadside exercise with a precision that would do
honour to the first school of fence. And he addition to their other
accomplishments, they, in conjunction with their sister, sing the
beautiful airs of their native glens with exquisite taste and feeling.
As Mr. Mackenzie. who has these singular creatures under his
Protection, can (in consequence of his other engagements) remain but
a short time in town, the admirers of the wonderful in nature are
requested to pay an early visit.
Admission front Twelve to Two and from Three to Five o'clock,
ls. ; and from Seven to Nine o'clock, ls.
