CoMPLIMENTARY.-A an act of Justice

widowed Mrs. Mcbride, we copy from the
New-England Galaxy, the annexed very hand
some compliment, which we think, cannot be
but wel received, by the individuals interested.
In doing this. we are reminded Of tho propric-
ty of doing an act Of justice, which we have
heretofore neglected. The Manager of the
Circus. Mr.. SrIMpsow, deeply sympathisng with
tho widowed and unfortunate lady, would have
gladly closed his house for the night, had he
been q, liberty TO do so, but as he was situated,
acting for Mr. Sendford Of Newly ork, he could
no, gratify tho first wishes Of his heart. But
determined to contribute TO the aid of the un-
| fortunate lady, he paid the price Of tickets for
his whole company, and thus contributed somc-
thing like fifteen or twenty dollars TO the re-
ceipts of. the house Whilst we arc about it
il may be proper TO add, that large number
of our neighbours and friends of the village of
Pawtucket, awakened to lively sense of sym
pathy, attended the Theatre, to afford relief to
the distressed and unfortunate.

owe know not when We have Witnessed on
illustration of professional lbcrality, more wor-
thy Of being recorded and remembered, than
that exhibited at the Providence Theatre on
Friday last. II was the first instance Of the
kind that ever fell within our knowledge, and
should be an example, and an admontion TO
men in other professions, TO 60 and do like
wise.
! Tho evening was set apart for the purpose
Of giving benefit to an elderly lady-a widow
and a bcrcaved one--whose main dependence
for the means Of living had just been taken
from her by the death of her daughter, Miss
Nc Bride of the Theatre. A number of per-
formers volunteered their services, and several
went from this city for no other purpose than
to give their aid on the occasion, and returned
the next morning. The whole performance
was gratuitous.
Acts of generosity like this, we are aware,
do not atone for acts of immortality committed
by the same individuals; nor does the proven
bal kind-heartedness Of the players render
their profession obcctona to morallsts oil
the most rigid class; hut we would ask wheth-
er similar instances Of kind -hear'edness are not
extremely rare, even in professions where love
and charity are, or ought 10 be, distinguishing
attributes Of character! Should not the men,
bers of a profession, whose badge is suferance,
find some favor with Christian community,
when thus thev fulfil one Of tho first command
ments of the Christian law?

Whilst we refrain from expressing any opinion as 10

do not conceive Il 10 be important the furtherance
