Scene I. was then given--Antonio, a friend of Bassanio, procures a sum of money for Bassanio, and pledges a pound of his flesh in non payment of same. Antonio's ships, on which he expects the money for payment to the Jew, being late, causes the trouble which arouse in Scene II. Before the se- cond act was giyen, Messrs. Robb, Porter and Peebles played a selection on the yiolins that received much appluse. Scene II. -- Antonio was brought up fot trial before the Duke of Venice. Bellario, a learned judgo, was sent for, but being ill, sent a substitute in Portia. Morissa, her clerk, accompanied her and both ap- peared in disguise. The witnesses in the case was Basgsanio, Antonio and Gratiano. The Judge granted the Jew, Shylock, one pound of Antonio's flesh, but warned him in'so doing not to take one jot of blood. On hearing this the jew 'withdrew his charge, but is pardoned his life by the Duke. The \judge in remuneration for ser- vices asked for Bassanio's ring, and the judge's clerk claims Gratiano's ring. Mr. and Mrs. H. Porter was called on for a duett followed by the last scene--Jéssica and Lorenzo, two lovers, were interrupted in Portio's garden by Stephano and Lancelot, two messengers, who brings word of the return of their mistress. - After the return of Portia and her maid Merissa, their husbands with Ant- onio arrived Merissa and Gratiano started into a quarrel over the ring which she had given hin His ex- planation for giving it away, tells how Bassanio gave his ring to the judge who defended Antonia. Portio then |- asked for explanation from Bassanio.
