Benefit of Peter Richings and Daughter. --Mr. Richings and Miss Caroline Richings take a benefit at the Theatre, to-night.--In the opening piece, The Blind Man's Daughter, the touching acting of both parent and child is enough to draw a full house.

The house will be crowded, and those gentlemen carrying ladies would do well to secure seats.

Mr. Balley; Grace Harkaway. Mrs. I B. Phillips; Charles County, Mr. Howe; Dolly Spanker, Mr. Phillips; and Meddle, Mr. Lamb.
