MR. MALONE RAYMOND AT THE CONCEBT

HALL.

APPEARANCE OF KISS KATE SAXON.

MOST EXTRAORDINARY AND EXCITING SC E.

•Mamlm,•l••
The Concert Hall, Lord Nelson Street, was era/dad
last evening in every part by a brilliant audience, that One
to hear Mr. Raymond, and Miss Kate Saxon. We have
scarcely seen such an assembly in that house, and, iniPtigi"4
we must say that one of the strangest and most Wit
"interludes" we have ever beheld on any stage, to k o°,
the course of the evening. We offer no comment,
ba
simply narrate what happened, amid the wildest e%elt°:e
ment we ever beheld at any performance. Miss °foil,
Saxon, who, by the way, is a very beautiful young lade
made her debut, and was greeted with unbounded apPlattli
which was kept up for some time, and which she allte°ll‘
lodged most gracefully. She then took her seat at I
small table in the centre of the stage, near the foot light*
and proceeded to read from rather a ponderoas-looldlt
quarto book, a Melange of character of the people e•
different nations. This; for some time, was listened
without any mark of approbation or otherwise, unto,
voice fell very low. There was here some slight
disapprobation in one of the boxes of the reserved set
followed by some approbation. Soon after, a well dreg'''. •
female in the body of the Hell gave vent to her feelier4
by expressing loudly and unequivocally her dissatisfaati°ll •
of the lady. This caused a good deal of confasioa"
(cheers, hisses, and cries of " turn her out," were teiegiarigied
with uproar). Whether the lady in the body of the P-csi
was ejected vi et armis, or left of her own free will, did f
appear, but certain it is she went oat., amid a storelow
cheers and hisses—but what was meant none could
_ieP.
Miss Saxon stopped for a moment, and seemed doe
affected, shedding tears, and appealing to the audience 't
hear her in her native land, This appeal brought a ell°fAil
of applause, mingled with some hisses. In a few sec°,..All-
- resumed her reading, evidently very much 004"--.
She had not gone on for more than half a minute, wile/I.f;
large number of most respectable looking ladies -iris
gentlemen, who occupied places in the gallery, rose, sseed
were simultaneously, and left the house. This aac.,,, -
quite a sensation, and cheers and hisses followed. 1.%
the lady rose, and avancing to the front of the fote
addressed the audience, saying she was an English rod
and trusted that on her first appearance in her native It
she would be heard. This appeal was met with vociferu;
applause, and she resumed her seat. She had no 00°11.0
taken her position than a general movement enit),.4lle
the occupants of the gallery (left from the [ibis
took place, and a considerable number retired. 36,3
seemed to annoy the lady dreadfully, and she nigLo
to the front, and cried out at the top of licr w-,ot
sweet voice, " If gentlemen are proverbial in England 'io
hearing gentlemen, I am sure they will not be less ea s
hearing a woman -it is unfair if you refuse to hear ne
This caused another burst of applause, with cries of
or
off! go off !" Here a gentleman came from the inters
and whilst the lady was standing as describ3d, toolc
gently by the hand, when she pushed him from het sflo,
utter conteoopt, and cried out with great energy,
. sfia
sir, I wont go off -I will stay here." [Cheers, e-41 .- hissif
much confusion followed.] The gen lemau retired)
tO
Miss Saxon again sat down at the table, and appeared •
cry violently. At this juncture the whole house wal
feverish state of excitement, and the; under whiall„fig
lady laboured was doubly increased by her ohae":-1
several other persons leave the house. At this nibenis
there were loud cries of "Go off! go off!" and itapisity
calls for " Raymond, Raymond." It would be Vino
possible to depict the scene. The gentleman, I,s
alluded to, c :me to Miss Saxon several times, but ""tbs
repeatedly slapped his offered hand away, with id
utmost disdain, amid shouts of laughter, cheers, bigo to
calls for " Raymond." After a scene of the grey
uproar, the lady came forward, bowed, and obis be
silence, She then, wOli the sweetest smile ie
world, said, " Ladies and gentlemen, if yott
only hear ms for five or ten minu'es, I 401
give you more information, and initraction than ever
got before in five or ten years." A furious uproar
lowed amid cries of Go off!"—" Take her off, R 19°2°1140
&c , mingled with hisses and cheers. The gentlemen eaebs
appeared, and attempted to le off the lady, 13.1/
spurned him'with coatempt. The uproar at this time "ei
i umense, and cries of " Raymond !" sans from all 1,010
the house. The gentleman again tried to lead og
Saxon, who went wi.h him towards the exit door, h.fiii
suddenly breaking from him, she returned to her seatt,l.4
shouted, " I will not go ; I will no., go." A storm of o',
followed, and vociferous shoe's for " Raymond." 1-f/4sl
tornado of confusion, Mr. Malone Raymond came fore4,o:
and was received with enormous bursts of applause. rjfait
self and the other gentleman took the hands of °s
hoot
lady and conducted her towards the door, and when 3",110
the centre of the stage she broke from tin urn, ra° tc "of
right hand of the stage, and, placing her back ree3ll/00
against the brass rail, stoutly-defied any one to renitbit
her. It may be im Tined what confusion and uproar of
caused, but after some remonstrance, she finally yr°
amid a scene of commotion that we cannot depict. OO
Mr. MALONS RANIIOND thjn came forward, all" este
greeted with unbounded applause. He begged Icion-der
that Miss Saxon was most unfortunately suffering 1.-- as
the result of a serious accident She met wilrtbors,
accident in the head some time before leaving Na g
and was under the best doctors there for a long peri3",,sel,
recovered; but the doctors said if ever she became to
