MR. CHARLES IN AMEURT'S READINGS AT THE
MARYLEIIONE INSTITUTION,—A press of Parliamentary and
other matter has hitherto prevented our noticing, at the
length to which they were entitled, the above gentleman's
readings on the evening of the 25th March —of which
readings, it is true, brief mention was, nevertheless, made
in The Sun of the Wednesday following. We are [almost
tempted, by the way, to call these Readings at once
" Recitations," for so well acquainted was Mr. Nameurt
with tho two subjects he had chosen, that there was little
a
necessity for his having recourse to the book before him.
sTt

advanced thought (s

towards success in Mr. Dickens's in-
reading to an audience. "The Gathering of the Clans," from
Scott's "Lady of the Lake," and the concluding scenes
from the " Bride of Lamm)rznoor," were the subjects
chosen for this occasion, and the stirring and animated
action of the first, and the drainatic and deeply interesting
events of the second, were most effectively given—though
equal talent was exhibited in the deliverance of those very
opposite delineations of human plssioa or feeling. The
scenes from the "Bride of Lammermoor" arpealed more
powerfully to ourselves, it is true —though this may,
perhaps, have been owing to individual taste, the
subject suiting ns better. It appeared t us that there
was an originality or peculiarity in these readings we
had not hitherto noticed. They, seemed to us to be
literally " fine readings "—the emanations of a gentle-
manly and an educated man, who fully appreciated his
author. And this occurred to us so forcibly as to give rise
to the wish that an original tale might be written for Mr.
Nameurt. We believe it would be the best advertisement
the author could have. We shall hope to hear more of
Mr. Nameurt.

COMPLIMENT TO A COMPOSEII.—A very gratifying
incident occurred at the last festival of the Ancient Britons.
After the very popular song, "God bless the Prince of
Wales," had been sung, Mr. Brindley Richards, the com-
poser, had the honour of an introduction to his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales, who presided over the fes-
tivities, and received from his Royal Highness a most flat-
tering and gratifying recognition of bis.Ulent as a own-
poser.
