A Ghost in Daxger.—At the tuns taat Garrick performed in. Goodman's Fields, the stage inclined from the pit at so steep a gradient that it was difficult to walk on it. One night the play was " Hamlet," and the ghost, whose suit of armour had been borrowed from the Tower, being encumbered by its weight, -when put up from the trap, was unable to keep his balance, and rolled down to the lamps, where he lay, " confined in lasting Jires," till a wag in the pit drew the atfcentioai of the other performers by crying outjV' The ghost will be burned!"
