BENEFIT TO THE POOR.


In every instance OF calamity and distress,
we find no individuals more prompt in afford
ing relief to the suffer ers than the managers
of the Philadelphia theatre. No sooner had
they opened the theatre here, Than they made
profer of nights profits, for the benefit
oil the afflicted poor at Baltimore, which has
been accepted by the mayor of that city, who
will cheerfnlIy receive and carefully appro-
pirate any sum the managers may have the
good fortune to obtain for them. In conse-
ouence of their kind and liberal offer being
accepted, the managers intend devoting the
performances on next Wednesday evening 10
this purpose We sincerely wish that the ci-
ti5ens will exert themselves in aid of this me-
rtorious service, so that it will prove benef.
cial to those whom it is intended TO relieve,
and whose sutfelngs no doubt stand in need
ofe every generous effort that can be made in
their behalf. Frarklin Gazette.
The poem Of Don Juan, has at length
made its appearance, and to those who no
ped Lord Byron would be reclaimed to the
paths of virtue, we would recommend a pc
rusal of this poem. 1t contains all the varie-
ties Of infamy it displays disposition as in
sensible to the charms of female constaney
as to The thunders OF Sinai; it is compound
OF the basest traits of The human characters;
it is in some points the perfection OF poetry,
and of deprasity. The muse OF Byron IS All
internal muse-sh she endeavors with an in,eE-
sity OF genius to allure, and to tascinate by
every seductive Establishment but while we
gaze, the brilliant deception formed 10 fasci-
nate, and 10 deIude, suddenly dissipates into
the sulphur of the internal regicas. He has
now affixed not satire upon his name, but
stigma upon bis grave. [Buh. Cron.

A Glasgow paper Of tine 18th ult. is receiv-

hastings were covered with black, and the
speakers dressed in mourning, expressive of
their regret for the martyrs at Manchester
Several spirited resolutions against the con-
duct oil the Manchester magistrates were a
dopted, and considerable warmth Of feeling
was manifested. Early in the evening an ex-
press arrived at Glasgow requesting military
aid. and some troops were sent off who reach
ed Paisley about twelve O'Clock at night, at

larmed by several parties Of the Reformers,
who patrolicd the streets with their flags,
broke the windows Of several of the public
