Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE concluded his series of Readings from Shak-

spere on Monday ; when he read the Play of Hamlet," with good em- phasis and discretion," to the gratification of a crowded and fashionable audience, who applauded the veteran heartily. The general admira- tion of Mr. C. KEMBLE'S reading, it is to be hoped, will result in a re- formation of our defective utterance. Reading-classes for the million are as much needed as singing-classes ; and Mr. KEMBLE might do for elocution what Mr. HULLAH is doing for vocal music. There are thousands who can write for hundreds who can speak with propriety.
