From the following paragraph, which
we find in the London Morning Chroni-
Gle, it seems that this gentleman has been
re. acting in Scotland the part which he
played with so much eclat on his last visit
to this city. Boston Daily Adv.
Extract ola letter. from aberdeen, Oct. 5.
"Mr. Kean being at Edinburg, was en-
gagged by MIR. Ryder, it is said, at $50 per
night, for six nights, the last to be his
benefit, and to get one half the receipts.
Other reports asy he was to get one half
every night, the prices being raised on his
account to SIS. SIS. & Is. instead of IS. Is.
and Is. the first night the receipts were
about 1876 second, nearly l4O on the
third night he was to play king Lear 80
few appeared, that Mr.. Kean refused to
play; the manager therefore, sent out
tickets to the New Inn, Dempstar's ho-
tell, the booksellers shop, SC. with free
admission to those who pleased to accept
OF them, and by eight o'clock there was
tclerable appearance in consequence of
the quantity of orders issued. Friday
was but poorly attended, and the last
night, his benefit, there was scarcely $50
in the house. I am afraid he is much
mortified at his reception here. and
think he will not make his appearance in
this city again."
