The members of
the Masonic Craft patronised the Theatre on
Tuesday evening last, for the benefit of the
Infirmary; the whole of the proceeds over and
above the expences going to that institution,
which accordingly drew a very full house. The
pieces produced were Shakespere's Taming of the
Shrew, the Crown Prince, and The Turned
Head. We have not space to notice the per-
formers particularly, but the universal ap-
plause sufficiently testified the satisfaction of the
audience.
