A HOME FOR RETIRED AMERICAN Acrows.—We
Lear that Edwin Forrest the tragedian purposes, on his
return from California, to carry out a long -canton.
plated scheme by founding and endowing, in Phaidelphis,
s Home for Retired Actors. Some months since Mr.
Forrest purchased • magnifioent estate in his native city,
same six miles distant from the centre of trade, with the
intention of making it his future residence. He also pur-
chased a large adjoining property and the whole he now
/Mends to devote to uses which will mitigate the sufferings
et unfortunate actors, and create for them an asylum
where, after they have ceased to win the plaudits of the
public, they may Sad shelter and care. The vicissitudes

ef the world, and to smooth the closing years of the less
fortunate members of the profession is the object which
Mr. Forrest has in view. It hi certainly a noble idea, and
will, no doubt, be caned out is a most liberal manner.—
