IacideHfS Of the EUsRiRg.-Whlle the scenes
which We have described were proceeding outside
% The building, the play went on with more or less
interruption, arising from the shouts and gruans
Of Hose inside, the yoeys Of stones and The ellis
Of the mob outside. Al length the play came 70
an end, and Mr. MacTeady msde his exit from the
house in disguise, reaching his holel in safety.
The performance OF the aiterpiece commenced
and had proceeded bur a short way, when the first
discharge Of muskelTy startled the whole house

The terrible disaster above recorded by the Tfi-
JEHs Is, OF course tie leading subject OF comm eni
