On Monday Matliews acted Goldfincls and Morbleu at the Dublin Theatre. WVhile performing the latter character, four or five per6ons in the gallery occasionally interrupted the performance. Their conduct was reprobated by the house, and should have been deaplsed by the audience. Actors, however, and no wonder, are exceedingly sensitive and M1r. Alathews was atung by the gross and premeditatel affront which was studiously offered to him. He came torward, and said, that he "1 little expected the attac' made upon him (cries of " No attack," and great applause)-that he had had the good fortune to win the ap. plauscefa London audience,and hoped he did not deserve their cen. sure. (Applause.) He-owed it to honest candour to say,that he had been treated with injustice, and was ineapaeitated fronm making due exertions to give pleaure to those who had really come to witness the performance,i by the erts to- irnterrupt him, and the ungenerous usage which he received from others."
