gesticulating, and seemed to lift them or

Lady Macbeth, and stopped to witness the
clever manoeuvre, which, like a coup dc
main, swept the place clean at once AS
well as l can remember, the bombardinent
outside now began. Stones were hurled
against the windows in Eighth street,
smashing many; the work of destruction
became then more systematic; the yolleyS
of stones flew without intermission, batter
ing and smashing al! before them; the gal
lery and upper gallery still kept
up the din within, aided by the
crashing of glass and boarding with
out. The second act passed, the noise
and violence without increasing, the con-
test within becoming feebler. Mr.. Pavey,
as was going to my raised seat in the
banquet scene, came up to me and in an
undertone, and much frightened, urged me
to cut out some part of the play and bring
| it to close | turned round upon him
very sharply, aud said that ~ had con-
sented to do this thing to place myself

go through with tit must be done; that l
would not cut out The audience had paid
for so much, and the law compelled me to
give it; they would have cause for riot if
all were not properly done" Twas angry,
and spoke very sharply to the above effect.

The fourth act passed; louder and more
fierce waxed the furious noises against
the building and from without: for when
ever missile did effectual mischief in it's
discharge it was hailed with shouts out
side; stones came in through the windows,
and one struck the chandelier, the audi
ence removed for protection behind the
walls; the house was considerably thinned,
gaps of unoccupied seats appearing in the
audience part. The fifth act was heard
and in the very spirit of resistance I flung
my whole soul into every word | uttered,
acting my very best and exciting the
. audience to sympathy even with the glow
ing words of fiction, whilst these dreadful
deeds Of real crime and outrage were roar
ing at intervals in our ears and rising to
madness all around US. The death of Mac
beth was loudly cheered, and on being
lifted up and told that l was called, went
on, and with action earnestly and most en-
| phatically expressive of my sympathy with
them and my feelings Of gratefulness to
them, quilted the New York stage amid
the acclamations of those before me.
