The only fault that could be found with the entertain- ment was the length of the programme, which we thought might with advantage have been reduced by half. We do not, however, intend to be either captious or cri ical upon this occasion, for the object was a charitable one, and one which reflected the highest credit upon all those who gave their time, and their talents towards making the show the suc cess that it undoubtedly proved. Space will not permit us to notice in full the different items of the programme, but the financial result of the entertainment should prove bighly satisfactory, and will afford those who organised the show more satisfaction than a'zolumn of praise,
