been made to the efforts on behalf of the unhappy survi-

nected with the Brunswick Club have handsomely come
forward to play the " T;velfth Night." The theatre has
been liberally placed at their service by Mr. Simpson, the
lessee, without charge. Mr. Copeland of the Royal Am-
phitheatre, has aided in the good work in the same spirit.
The band of the 4Gth Regiment will play during the even-
ing, and the officers, to the' number of thirty, will be
present.. A concert will follow, in which the unpnrchased
services of Miss Whitnall, Miss Marsh, Mr. Ryallt. Mr.
G. HOlden and his lady, and others, will be prominent.
The farce will exhibit the talents of Mr. Baker and hie
promising daughter. In fact; an evening's amusement of
the most refined and sterling kind' will be produced: The
spirit with which this noble project has been taken •up,
reflects the highest credit on all parties connected with it.
The amateurs themselves require no eulogy. Their not-
ing will stand the test of comparison with that oVanf
average company of comedians.
