THE BOWERY.—The following is an account of a ludicrous lama, Hayden, for Leehom—Mary Pe
scene which took place at the Bowery, on the night of the
celebration of the evacuation :—Booth played Richard tho
Third, and the house was crammed to such an extent that an
avalanche of spectators broke from the pit and covered the
orchestra and the greatest part of the stage. By reasonable
computation there were about 330 persons on the stage and
wings alone—soldiers in fatigue dresses—officers with side arm%
—a few jolly tars, and a number of "apple munching urchins."
The scene was indescribably ludicrous. Booth played in his
best style, and was really anxious to make a hit, but the con-
fusion incidental to such a crowd on the stage occasioned con-
stant and most humourous interruptions. It was every thing, or
any thing, but a tragedy. In the scene with Lad y Anne, a scene
so much admired for its address, the gallery spectators amused
themselves by throwing pennies and silver on the stage, which
occasioned an immense scramble among the boys, and they
frequently ran between King Richard and Lady Anne, to snatch
a stray copper. In the tent scene, so solemn and so impres-
sive, several curious amateurs went up to the table, took up the
crown, poised the heavy sword, and examined all the regalie
with great care, while Richard was in agony from the terrible
dream; and when the scene changed, discovering the ghosts
of King Henry, Lady Anne and children, it was difficult to
select them from the crowd who thrust their faces and persontli
among the Royal shadows. The battle of Bosworth Field
capped the climax—the audience mingled with the soldiers an
raced across the stage, to the shouts of the people, the roll
the drums, and the -bellowing of the trumpets ; and when
fight between Richard and Richmond came ou, they made a rin
round the combatants to see fair play, and kept them at it fo
nearly a quarter of an hour, by Shrewsbury clock." This
was all done in perfect good humour, and with no intention to
make a row,—When Mr. Rice came on to sing his celebrated
song of " Jim Crow," they not only made him repeat it some
twenty times, but hemmed him in so that he actually had no
room to perform the little dancing. or turning about appertain•
ing to the song; and in the afterpiece, where a supper table is
spread, some among the most hungry very leisurely helped
themselves to the viands. It was a rare treat indeed to the
audience and manager.—New York Paper.

VIEWS OF PARTISANS.—It is related of this prince, (Char!__
Stuart) that when he had worn out his shoes in his flight, a,
Highland woman gave him others, and taking possession of the
pair he had thrown off, said, in a familiar tone, ' if you forget
me when you have recovered your right, I will walk up to st.
James's and shake these old shoes at you.' In this anecdote!
may perhaps be found the secret of those, who, reckless of the
bloodshed and misery they may create, are ready to join in any
attack on established governments or settled institutions, from
which it does not happen to be their fortune to expect prefer-
ment. The Highland chiefs who compelled their followers to
support the claim of a family for which they had been aceas-1
tomed to evince but little respect or affection when the Stuart-Ii
reigned in Scotland, can scarcely deserve credit for any higher
inducement than the clesire to establish a king, at whose hands
they might calculate on favour and promotion in return for the
aid he received from them. Human nature is always the same, WEST INDJE,
