THE ENGLISH PIERROTS.

TOWN HALL, WEDNESDAY NEXT. I The many who retain plc:};.unt recollections of p_re\‘ious visits of‘ the English Pierrots will welcornc, no doubt; the return of this clever and \‘cl'sa,tfle leombination, who are announced to make their appearance 11.1. the Town Hall on Wednesday next, when they will again present their unique, humourous, and musical entert:tinment,. consisting of the very latest songs, dances, original sketches, quartettes, concerted nurnbers-_. which comprise most enjoyable entertainments.
