Lovell's play of " The Wife's Secret" affords, so
far as the illustration of a principle is involved,
another phase of the comedy " The Wonder," but
dignified by the noble object for which silence is

observed, and involving far greater sacrifices.
The two noble parts, those of Lady Eveline and
Sir Walter Amyott, are conceived and
elaborated with peculiar skill and j

ment, and found most eloquent interpreters on
Saturday evening. When Garrick was looking for
an actress who could do justice to Shakespeare's
Lady Constance, Quinn, in his rough forcible way,
said with great warmth, speaking of Mrs. Ciblicir,
" that woman has a heart, and can do anything
where passion is regain. d ;" and Mrs. Kean, to whom
the remark is most applicable, never more moved or
carried with her the feelings and the sympathies of
all present than she did on this occasion. The
hushed attention that allowed every whispered
accent to be heard--the tears that flowed unchecked
from many an eye—the illusion that made all upon
the stage appear a reality, and the spectators ad-
mitted, as if they were true friends, to share in the
grief of a private domestic household—the wonder-
ful accord between the words she spoke and the
action which enforced their meaning—these, and
many other beauties of dramatic conception and
exquisite execution, were revealed in all their at-
' tractive truth and identity with nature. The con-
vuls ve shudder that passed through her frame when
the dishonouring suspicions of her husband are first
disclosed—the revulsion for an instant from the devo-
tion of her love to almost hate—the long-drawn sobs
of prostrating anguish when all she has lost in his
generous heart is presented to her memory, were
among those traits which call for peculiar notice,
but Almost elude analysis from the taste with which
all the aids of art were united to genuine sensi-
bility. Mr. Kean's Sir Walter was a performance
worthy of his name and reputation. Vigorous,
forcible, and passionate where the events called for
the display of such characteristics. The struggles
between his faith in hiswife's honour and his distrust,
arising from the secret visits of the stranger, and
the prompting cf the Puritan lago of the drama,
were admirably depicted. It was no formalist
who was repeating a set lesson that stood before
the audience, but a man feeling and suffering as a
man should under the deeply-interesting circum-
stances ir. which he is placed, and the poetry of
the text lost nothing of its brightness in his deli-
very of it, and gained in force and fire. An old
essayist observes that " the knowledge of language
is only entering the portals of learning and, in
like manner, a mere acquaintance with the business
of the stage, while facilitating dramatic success, is
only a means to an end; but having passed the
portal, Mr. Kean has discovered some of those deep
and silent founts of the heart which are sealed to
the more listless inquirers after the truths of nature.
The house was crowded to excess in every part, and
at the fall of the curtain Mr. and Mrs. Kean were
called for and greeted with the most enthusiastic
plaudits.—Saunders's News Letter.

FE3L4 LE VENGEANCE.

A case which excited a certain degree of interest
has just occupied the Court of Assizes of the Seine_
et• Oise for two days. Mme. Thiebault, the wife
of a photographer, of Paris, was indicted for
" cutting and wounding," and her brother, a
young man named Yvoret, was accused of being
'her accomplice. The indictment set forth that
about a year ago Thiebault, the female prisoner's
husband, formed an improper connection with a
young woman named Ture, a music mistress.
'He installed her in a shop belonging to him at
Belleville, and employed her in his business.
Mme. Thiebault, after a while, having heard of the
woman's connection with her husband, went
and abused her with great violence, and one day
last winter beat her and pulled her hair. Mlle. Turc
afterwards left Belleville, and wanted to break off
with Thiebault, but he would not consent. In June,
at his request, she took a lodging at Enghien,
where he pcssesses a house, and in the absence of
his wife he often visited her. Before long Mme.
Thiebault became aware of the young woman's
presence at Eughein, and was naturally exasperated,
even declaring to a friend that she would avenge
herself by throwing vitriol in the ether's face. On
the 3d August Thiebault went to Enghien, leaving
at Paris his wife, who said she was indisposed,
and he invited Mlle. Tare to dine with him. The
dinner took place in a small chalet near his house,
and after it he went out leaving the young woman
alone. At about eight o'clock, some persons passing
heard piercing cries, and, the moment after saw Mlle.
Turc appear at a window, crying for help. At the
same moment, a young man rushed forward, and
presenting himself before the window shook his
clenched hand at her, saying—" I have caught you
as last, and will pay you off! I have long been
looking after you !' Then he entered the chalet, and
a few seconds after the noise of glass breaking was
heard, this was followed by the cries of a female
for help ! But before any one could enter, Mlle.
Turc, with her dress in disorder, het hair dishevelled,
and face stained with blood, rushed from the build-
ing. She ~:as conveyed to an apothecary's shop, and
there ied out that she had her hands, neck,
and face e,ach scratched, had received violent blows
on the head from a blunt instrument, and had hcr face,
left arm, side, and bosom burned with sulphuric
acid. She stated that, as she was seated in the
room, Mine. Thiebault had burst in like a fury,
and thrown a quantity of corrosive liquid on her.
Mlle. Turc in terror ran into an adjacent room,
and fastening the door, called for help from the
window ; Mme. Thiebault, having in vain at-
tempted to force open:the door, had cried out for her
brother, who soon appeared, broke open the door,
the upper part of which was in glass, and throwing
Mile. Turc down, held her on the floor, whilst his
sister beat her ; she added. not content with that,
Mme. Thiebault had attempted to pour sulphuric
acid into her eyes, but she protected them with her
hands, and it was in so doing that the liquid in flow-
ing about burned her in various places. At
length Thiebault came in, and Mdlle. Turc was
able to escape. The indictment declared that the
injuries received by the young woman were so grave
that for some days her life was in danger, that she
will never regain the complete use of her arm, and
that her intellectual faculties will, from the shock
she received, be for a considerable time affected.
As to Mme. Thiebault, she said that, suspecting
the rendezvous of her husband with Mlle. Turc,
she had followed her husband to Enghien, and
being exasperated at finding her rival in the
chalet, had snatched up a small bottle of sulphuric
acid which happened to be on a table near (her
husband having need of that article in his busi-
ness), and had thrown its contents at her; t but
e
she positively denied that s'ie had beaten

bed, and drove her away.. On another occasion she
closed my own door against me, and I had to make
the police open it. Each time she promised me
solemnly to break off with my husband, and the
last time I gave her money to enable her to live
until she could get a place. But all her promises
were vain ; and when I reproached her she had the
cruelty to say to me, 'Your husband does not love
veil, and he may as well love me as any one else !' "
Mme. Thiebault positively denied that her brother
had accompanied her to Enghien with the intention
of committing an outrage. "No !" she cried, "he
knew nothing ! If there is any shame or dishonour,
let it fall on me alone ! The accused Yvoret declared
that he knew nothing of his sister intending to
attack Mile. Turc, but be admitted that he was
indignant at finding the woman in the chalet, and
had also broken open the door, but denied that he
had held her down whilst his sister beat her.

stated nothing new. The jury returned

a condiment in cattle cookery for the seasoning of the food
of live stock. All food is medicinal, and the best of all medi-
