On Friday the Stanley Opera Company proceeded to Fremantle, where they gave a gratuitous entertainment to the afflicted inmates of the Lunatic Asylum. The performance, which consisted of singing, dancing, and character representations was immensely enjoyed by the unfortunate spectators, who warmly evinced their thanks for the delightful treat Mr. Stanley's generous kindness had afforded them. This is the first time such a pleasant break has occurred in the depressing monotony of the patients' ordinary daily routine of life for about 8 years.
