Latetisra PENSION SectirrY.—A dramatic enter-
tainment took place at the Horns Asserubly•reems, Ken-
nington, on Thursday evening last, in aid of this excellent
institution. The pieces selected for representation were a
portion of OIA.Yo, and the farce of His Last Legs, the
whole of the characters in both, except the female parts,
being taken by members of the Lambeth Vestry. There
was also si vocal and instrumental concert. Mr. Goddard
played the Moor with very considerable ability. The 'ego
(Mr. F. Moulton) wee also very good. We have rarely mien
ea amateur performance pees iod with so much eclat.. The
hall was densely crowded with a highly respectable tutheace,
and every one seemed delighted. The entertainment,
having been so successful, was anhenoced for repetition at
the same place in the early part of next month.
