Public views distress, and the honour which it pees
to worth and talent, were never mnre fully exemplified,
than in the Audience which last night attended the
performance at this Theatre, for the benefit of the
widow and family of the late Mr. Ran. Such was
the eagerness testified by the public to pay honor: to
departed worth, and to aid in the benevolent eillewof
succouring the widow and the fatherless upon this
occasion, that nearly every meat in the house that auts
be retained was secured in the course of the utornimg,
and the remainder were filled in a few Wanes after
the doors were thrown open. The managneast,
anxious that all who were present shosid receive
accommodation, took care to announce, in the asset
manner, by placards exhibited at the Oxon, that the
several divisions of the Theatre were fully ate-
pied, but numbers still continued.a spter at the
box door, contenting themselves by labial a station
in the lobbies and the saloon. Even the priest* hoes%
were made accessible to the general video* of the
theatre, in those instances where the letratis kat
