The benefit for the distressed Irish and Scotch at
l:er Majesty's Theatre on Thursday produced 1,3704 the
whole of the expenses having been defrayed by Mr. Lumley.
When it is considered how early it is in the season, that even
now it is a week before the ordinary period at which the
opera opens, and how deserted places of public amusement
are as yet by the highest class of society, the result must be
considered as far above all rational expectation.
