THE MAcREADY Row.-The New York Herald
gives the following account of the row, the first
night of Macready's appearance at the Asior Place
Opera House. The play was Macbeth, and when
he first appeared the row began. -
OFF off, shouted one party $50 on %
go on" shouted the other Mr. Macready ap-
preached the lights. He was greeted by roars of
ironcal laughter, and reiterated Kisses and groans
banner was at this moment exhibited in front of
the amphitheatre, bearing on its side, No apollo
gles-It is too late " and on the other, You have
proved yourself liar'' The appearance of this
banner was The signal for perfect tornado of up
roarlous applause, laughter, cheers and groans, in
the midst of which an old shoe and cent piece
We're hurled at Mr.. Macreedy, who picked up the
copper coin, and. with kingly air, put in his bo-
som, bowIng, at the same time, with mock humility,
ton had descended.
Several of Mr.. Macready's friends now became
much excited, and shouted to him to " go on'' and
not give up the Ship which elected tremendous
groans, hisses and cries of Three groans for the
Goldfish aristocracy'' which were responded to with
marked enthusiasm. Cries of Down with thu,

don - and similar EXPLANATIONS, were loud and
frequent Thus passed the whole of the first and
second acts, the upfoar not ceasing for moment.
When the curtain fell, on the second act the tumut
fercer than ever. and il was ouifa anna ropt
that something still more serious was approaching
Yet the greater portion of the auditory opposed to
Mr.. Macready seemed in excellent humor. They
chaunted snatches of The witches chorllsses and
amused themselves by asking repeatedly, "Where's
Macready ~" Where's Eliza Brown ~ and other
interrogations of that character. One gentleman
in the parquette, among those who We're hostile to
Mr.. Macready, oged the house through stupen-
dous eye-glass. large enough for horse collar; and
others threw themselves into variety of attitudes,
more picturesque than becoming. Three cheers for
Macready, Niger Douglass, and Pete Williams -
were called for, and given with marked enthusiasm.
AT length the curtain rose on the third act; and
in dumb show, Banquo, advancing to the lights,
commenced the soliloquy-
"Thon hast it now King, Cawdor Glamis, all,
As the weird women promised -
but not syllable was audible. Then Macbeth
re-appeared, and the ubroar greater than ever
Smash came chair from the gallery nearly gra-
zDg the head of one of the members of the orches-
ira, and strewing the stage with its fragments,
within few feet of Mr.. Macready. Mr. Macready
bowed and smiled. Another chair falls at his feet,
with crash, which resounds all over the house.
Some of the ladies start from their Seats and grow
quite pale The shouts, and groans and Kisses are
redoubled. Mr.. Macready stands quite unmoved-
not the slightest tremOr vsible not the least bra

hurled on the stage, and the curtain suddenly falls
Inc ladies hurry from the boyes-all but few |
VINO betray not the slightest alarm. Still the up |
roar continues. There is loud talking in the lob
Dies. A great crowd outside thunders at the doors
and threaten to break into the theatre. Mr.. Mat
sell and strong party of his policemen barricade |
the entrances. The ladies are hurried out by one |
OF the doors that open in Eighth street, and in few
minutes afterwards Mr. Macready, in close car
rage, was driven rapidly and safely away. No
person on the stage was injured by any of the mis-
ses thrown during the evening but almost all of |
the actors received copOus allowance of the foe
It'd liquid which was discharged from the gallery.
During the pantomime upon the stage, the Ameri.
can actors, playing with Macready, were frequently
warned by the people in the gallery to go off lie
stage, or expect similar treatment hereafter. We
may add, that the missiles thrown came from the
gallery, and that none of them appeared to be
aimed directly at the person of Mr.. Macready. The
object seemed to be to drive him from the stage by
every species of contumely, without personal vio-
lence, and there could be no doubt that the effort,
which was quite successful in its object, was the
result of an organized and preconcerted movement.
1t Is also proper to state that the ladies', who
to the theatre, remained to the last-a few express
ing their feelings in favor of Mr. Macready by
waving their handkerchiefs and we ought to add
hat very many of those who were most conspieu.
1us and enthusiastic in favor of Mr. Macready were
American citizens.
