saw nothing of the kind and We were within few
feet Of the stage Throughout the whole pveainc. We
may also add that The missiles thrown came fiuin the
gallery and that of them appeared 10 be aimed i
IectIy nj the person Of Mr.. Mlcrrady. The object
seemed TO be drive him from the stage by every spe
lies Of c0nlumely, without personal yioiEnce, and
there could be no doubt that the effort, which Sas
quite successful In It's object was the result Of
panzed and pre.concrrted movement. II IS also pro-
per IL Gtar that the ladies' who cane 10 the Theatre,
remained 10 the lasta few expressing their feelings in
favor Of Mr.. MacfcaJy by waving their handkrrc
and we ought 10 add that very many OF those who were
mos, conspicuous and enthusiastic IN favor of Mr. Mac
ready, were American citizens.
