Without intending to invade the privacy of the
domestic circle, we must be allowed-since this
most N unhappy affair has IN some sort, got before
singular act of reputation. The popular fame Of
one of the partes-the husband-and the exalted
worth of the other-the lady-will, undoubtedly,
give to the affair unusual interest; and this fact
domestic affairs OF individuals.
Mr.. Edwin Forrest was married, if we recollect
angh, IN the year 1885, in st. Johns Chapel, In
the Moorheds, London, to Miss Sinclair. Mr..
Forrest was, at that time in the hrtyfrst year of
ms age; the lady was ne-and-twenty. Soon after
the contamination of the marriage, Mr.. and Mrs.
Forrest yIoyaged to the United States, and set up
an establishment in Reade street, originally owned
and occupied by, the celebrated Mr.. James II.
iiackeu. There they remained till about the year
I 1s'9, when Mr.. Forrest purchased an estate in
Iwenty-second street, Chelsea, to which he re-
moved his family, and where he has remained,
with intervening visits to Europe, till the day be-

Whilst Mr. Forrest, two years ago, was in Lon
don, he was assailed, as all the world knows, by
one or two of the London presses, and criticised
in the most offensive and abusive manner After
the attack In question was made, he returned to
the United States, and the whole character Of the
man was changed. He at once became moody,
melancholy, and unhappy.
In the month of December, Mr. Forrest returned
from professional engagement in Philadelphia, in
a most unhappy state OF mind, and at once demand
ed separation: lie assalgned no cause, offered
no apology tor the position he assumed; and, when
the immediate friends of the parties interfered,
and asked to be Informed why it was that he asked
comprehensive silence. He was not to be inter-
rogated;. he demanded separation; and he has
accomplishing his object. Mr.. Forrest and his wife
| have eternally separated.
1t forms part Of our duty to interfere in their
domestic feuds; and nothing but the eminence
| OF Mr.. Forrest, as an actor and a man, and the
gossip of the world, would induce us to say thus
much.
AS an act of justice, we remark that we are in
! formed-and our information comes from source
that can be relied on-hat Mr.. and Mrs. Forrest
have, IN the end, separated on terms of mutual re-
ciprocity. The private reputation of both re-
mains untouched, unchallenged, untamished. No
aspersion at any rate rests or can be made to rest

the curse and bane to welded life-has not in this
instance, had any influence.
Mrs. Forrest is represented on oil sides, and by
talent, attainment, and personal beauty; and the
d,squetude which this i-assorted affair must give
her and her relatives, must be exceedingly poignant
