Among the descriptions Of tall boys aud Liliputian
kings aud dexterous magiclans and moving Ggures
and the other wonders Of Mr. Barnums advertisements
We notice the announcement that Dir. and Mrs. William

make their nrst appearance iu this city the Museum,
In hair musical and half dramatic version OF SO Ihe
Child Of the Regiment"
Mr. Barnum is mistaken part Of this annouucsmeat.
Mr. and Mrs. Gomczsa have not just arrived from Eu-
rope" They arrived several months ago. and part
OF a company engaged by rebel agent i'll England
for the theatre at Richmond Virginia when chrouia
cod their arrival In New York stated tha, tLey had
chosen tho wrong route for Richmond and that they
should have taken the regular rebel packet line which
Secretary weles allows TO to Wilmington, North G.

Army Of the Potomac and reach shc rcbol capital.
stated, upon the authority Of Mr.. and Mrs. Go.
msrsai themselves; that the rsbe! agent who ac.
compausd them upon this trip has paid all their
while here, aud has supplied them with their return
passage moIey in gold. This statement somewhat, con.
nics with the opinion OF the rebel finances bu,
suppose that caDn0t be disputed Cpon the return
Of the company from Fortress Monroe 10 New York Nr.
Barnom secured the Gomersas. and they viii sing a Tie
Museum all this week aud then go back 10 England and
reuquish the idea OF entertaining the rebels in the Tho
atrcai line. This is very sensible programme and /,
ought TO be carried into effect
Play actors very singular cisss OF people They
have any opinions any politics. They are equal
ly willing 10 democrats radicals kings repub-
licans rebek or ioyass, provided they their
stated salaries 10 crreu, funds They know country,
no section, 90 party Ihoy are very loyal hero and very
rebeous down South aud very proud royal
n Europe. They can be oil thing. to all men, and,
like chameleon, they change thoir colors as they
chauoa their he La ehe
powers for thsm. They always "render unto Cesar
the things that Cssars," they do not always
obey the Of the injunction They act equally well
upon any stage before any audience, under any flag.
Undoubtedly, IL the Gomcrsals had performed " The
Child OF the Regiment" In Richmond they would have
wrapped themselves 10 the " stars and bars and sung
the rebel" Marseia,se" Now, in New YORK, they will
probably substitute The stars and Stripes Hail, Co.
iumbia" That Id the way the theatrical world wsgs;
and an exceedingly queer world 1T is.
