British Plantation, and prices have rather improved. Sales

MR. CHARLES KEMBLE'S READINGS iv SHAH-
SPEARE.—The desire to hear the masterly readings of Shak-
speare, by Mr. Kemble, increases as the series draws towards
its close; and last night St. James's Theatre was well filled
in every part during the reading of the Merchant of Venice.
The purely comic portions of the play were those in which
Mr. Kemble most excelled, and he brought out all the
touches of humour with good effect. The more subdued
scenes of the serious parts of the play he also delivered in a
delightfully easy manner, remarkable for correctness of enun-
ciation and apparent freedom from the trammels of art. The
audience appeared fully satisfied with Mr. Kemble's delinea-
tion of Shylock, and applauded very cordially.
The Duke of Sutherland has bought the beautiful
property of Glenarback, which lies upon the north bank of
the Clyde, immediately opposite his son-in-law's (Lord
Blantyre's) splendid mansion, at the cost, we are informed, of
14,000/. We may thus expect that his Grace and the
Duchess and family will honour this neighbourhood by
frequent visits, the more especially as the Marquis of Lorn
will speedily form another interesting link in the noble
family's connection with the west of Scotland.—Glasgow
Herald.

ROYAL VISITS TO BRIGIITON.—We believe there
is very little doubt that the King of the French intends to
visit her Majesty some time in September ; and, as the
long talked-of purchase of Norris Castle has been abandoned,
there is no place so likely as the Pavilion to be chosen for the
reception of the Royal visitor. The King of the French has
been expected
.for some time at Eu, where his Majesty's
horses and carriages arrived several days ago. We hear
that the Duke of Devonshire is awaiting the King's arrival
at his chateau to pay. a visit to his Majesty, for the pur-
pose, it is said, of receiving instructions relative to the King's
intended visit to our Most Gracious Sovereign.—Brighton
Gazette.
