Tie New York Riot.-The English press is
ery indignant at the treatment of Macready
N. York. The London Times says:
" Every person in London who has wit,
pssed the reception of an American actor will
BE- struck with the strong contrast 10 the abom-
nations recorded above What, after all, is
be III usage of which the partisans of Mr..
Forrest comr!ain At the Princess Theatre
here was no scene of rufianism, no fiinging
i hence. rotten eggs, or assafptida. Some
h the gestures in his Macbeth were thought
idIcul0us. some of the audience laughed, one
yag uttered Joke from the gallery, and the
performance was unfavorably noticed in sew

alion being the expression of any national
pIing, Mr. Forrest was appIauded in parts
'hich he afterwards undertook, and which
ere deemed more suited 10 his powers. If
English actor had been used in this way in
London theatre ii would not have elected
mark, and it is perfectly disgusting 10 find
shameless an outrage based upon so slight
foundation in city like New York, which
oesses 10 be civilized.
