Previous to doing so , he thus addressed the meeting : — " Ladies and Gentlemen , —It may , perhaps , be known to you that , for a few yearB past , I have been accustomed occasionally to read some of my shorter books to various audiences , in aid of a variety of good objects , and at some chargo to myself both in time and money . It having at length become impossible in any reason to comply with these always accumulating do-. . 1 „ T 1 » rm * m 1 » i A t \ e \ 4 \ n 5 fr i ^ rol \ r f A ** li nnan ltotwooit ¦ Vl VV J » » ' * VUVVUU # BBi

I have had little or no difficulty in deciding on the former course . The reasons that have led me to it—besides the consideration that it necessitates no departure whatever from the chosen pursuits of my life—are threefold . Firstly , I have satisfied myself that it can involve no ¦ 1 . 1 „ Anm « i . nminr \ r \ C fit A r * irnf \ if fin / I lilfinnOfl fl AflPA C \ S 4 I 4 Uiiiijfvi 4 HV

Secondly , I have long held the opinion , and have long acted on the opinion , that in these times ¦ whatever brings a public main and his public face to face , on torniH of mutual confidence and respect , is a good thing . Thirdly , I have had a pretty lurgo experience hearers ho to tuitin
of the interest my arc gcncrouH as c these occasions , and of the delight they give to mo , as a tried moans of strengthening tho . so relations , I may almost say of personal friendship , which it in my great privilege ami pride , as it in my groat responsibility , to hold with a . multitude of pcrHons who will never hear my voice , or see my face . Thus it m that I come , quite naturallv , to bo here among you , at this time . And
thus it is that I proceed to read this little book , quite as composedly as I might proceed to write it , or to publish it in any other way . " Mr . Dickens then read the story with all his accustomed dramatic force and perfect , because natural , elocution . The work need not be criticized here . Though less known than the Christinas Carol , it is no less animated with the authors glowing " ¦ enius , hearty humour , and profound pathos ; and the audience iu

After dinner , the jovial actor made a genial and hearty speech , in which he acknowledged that he had derived the idea of illuminating on that occasion from the poet-essayist . On the same evening , Mr . Kean , at the Princess ' s , played Midsummer Night ' s- Dream in honour of its author . _ Restoration of Shakspeare ' s House , Stratford-on-Avon . —The " Birthplace" Committee are putting the munificent gif t of 2500 ? . from Mr .
