The celebrated monkey, General Jackoo, will go through several military exploits, and dance on the tight rope in various attitudes, particularly he will carry a pyramid of lights in a most surprising manner; a favorite musical pantomime called the Prince Chimney Sweeper; or, the Chimney Sweeper Prince, (taken from a piece of that name exhibited with general applause in Paris;) also a musical entertainment called the Caravan; or, a Sale of English Beauties of Grand Caire, with the attack of the Caravan in the Desert, by the Banditti; their defeat, &c. by a British Sailor. The music and decorations of both pieces entirely new. Tumbling by a capital groop[sic]; horsemanship by favorite pupils of Mr. Astley, sen. Which will conclude with a vigorous combat between the Taylor and his Horse, or the Taylor riding to Brentford. The royal troop of female rope-dancers, far superior to any thing of the kind ever exhibited; in the intervals, the extraordinary performances of the learned pig. The whole to conclude with a new entertainment called the Magic World, with a transparent view of Canton in China, exhibiting an immense pile of bildings [sic], superbly illuminated. The entertainments of this place will be varied every week.—The floating bath, Westminster-bridge, is ready for the reception of bathers.
