tol, with the regiments on the ground
and on either side the whole space was
filled, aud with the crown outside formed
one of the moststriking scenes exhibited

waving of all the banners, and the cheers
having subsidized, prayer was offered by

BELLIGERENT SoCIETY.-John and
Charles Kemble were sitting one night in
the pit of Covent Garden, listening to q
play. Charles remarked to his brother ::
-"I really think this is the very best play
or representation that Shakespeare ever
wrote"
No sooner had he made this remark
than a huge, red-headed, broad-shouldered
Irishman, who sat Immediately behind
him, leaned forward and tapped him on
the shoulder to secure his attention.
"T think, sir" he observed, with a
strong brogus, ''ye said it was one Shakes
peare what wraught that play. 1t was
not Shakespeare what wraught that play"
"Oh, sir" replied Mr.. K, coolly,
"very WELL
A short time after this the Irishman
tapped him on the shoulder again.
'Do you behave, sir, it was my friend,
Linuard M'Lally, what wraught that
play 2"'
"Oh, yes, certainly, sir-if you cay So"
was the peaceful answer.
For a while he remained unmolested,
but at last he felt the heavy fingers once
more.
"Your friend that Gets on your left
hand" exclaimed the Irishman, "don't
look as if he behaved it EGS me friend
Linuard M'Nally what wraught that play !"
This was too much for the brothers, who
rose and left the house, not deeuling it
either pleasant or safe to stay In such
belligerent society.
