POSITIVELY THE
LAST FO'll THE SEASON!
MONDAY NEXT, SEPTEMBER 5, 1842.

titively the Last Grand Gala of the Season.

MONSIEUR GOUFFE,
THE INIMITABLE PROFESSOR OF

correct representation in the capacities of Man.

been witnessed by crowded audiences, not only in England,
but in every Theatre on the vast Continent of America, for
the last four years. The spirit and confidence with which
this Phenomenon performs his evolutions, keep the spectator
in constant wonder ; his feats are performed with that de-
cided ease which characterises the Animal, of whose eccen-
tricities Mons. Gouffe is' so happy in his illustration.

In addition to the above, an arrangement has been entered
into (for this Night only) with the celebrated
MADAME ROSSINI,
(Of the Royal Vauxhall, and the Surrey Zoological Gardens,
London,)
Whose recent performances here have been witnessed with
intense anxiety and breathless awe by assembled thousands.
