THE MAcREADY RioTIN NEW YoRH

Mr.. Macreudy did net attempt to perform at The
4 Aslor Place Opera House In New York, on Tuesday
I evening. Mr.. Macready, ii was given out would
not attempt TO act again, and on this being announc-
! cd, number Of gentlemen addressed him note
asking him 10 continue his engagement, which he
will doubtless do.
qnirer charged that the riot was stimulated by Mr.
Forrest, that he had hired parties go TO the thea
tire 10 put Macready down. &c.
In the. Courier and Enquirer of Wednesday morr-
ing appears the following Withdrawal Of this charge
: The writer Of this paragraph, who is ono of the
editors Of this paper witnessed the outrages at the
As'or Place Opera House on Monday night, which
the name OF Mr.. Forrest with their perpeiration he
spoke from no knowledge of facts which would es-
tabllsh any such connection His statements upon
this point were entirely inierential. lie had no doubt
whatever that the circumstances Of Forests conrcs
versy with Macrcady and the fact that Forrest had
declared In public thai Mr.. Macready should never
DO permitted to appear again upon the stage in this
city, warranted the inference which he drew, that
the disturbances on Monday night was Of Mr.. For
rests procurement. lie makes this explanation, be-
cause the paragraph was published without the
knowledge Of the responsible editor, who does not
deem the facts sufficient 10 warrant the assertion
that Mr. Forrest had anything 10 do with the outrage
in question. Had the writer anticipated any such
difference of opinion the paragraph Of course would
not have been published. r.
r. s. Since the foregoing was written we have
received the following letter from MIR. Sedgwiek, TO
which we very eheerfnly give place. and only regret
that any charge against or almson to, Mr. Forrest
In connection with this dlsgraceiul riot should have
been made y In quite certain that there Is no evil
