continue their returns, or be rapidly and entirely

APPENDIX TO THE FORREST CAsE-MADAME DE

REsT.-Wc found in Boston paper the other day,
the following inqurng paragraph in relation to Ger
tain former friends of Mrs. Forrest, and the changes
which have lately come their spirits. Here
it is-
AvoruyR FoRRrsr TEAL-It is stated that certain
former friends Of Mrs Forrest ncensed al her want of
gratitude since the late trial. have made certain disco
to the attorney of Mr. Forrest from which, is
expected phase will be placed upon this interim

We believe this paragraph refers to certain inten-
tons of Madame de Marguerittcs and MIRO G. Eos
ter formerly The devoted friends Of Mrs. Forrest for
a long time previous to and during the recent trial
and all through her first theatrical engagement in
the Iyceum theatre in this city Both these person
ages, in literary and theatrical sense, are well
with the Ncw York Tribune, and lattcrly with the
| DAY Book. The lady has been writer for certain
journals but particularly for of the evening
papers, and we believe she writes well and graEL-
cally.
soon after the separation Of Mr.. and Mrs Forrest
Madame dc Margucrttes became acquainted with
the former lady, and went and resided with her in
her residence uptown, for probably more than a
Thov tad IN oil
lived under the same roof-counsellcd togcther-eaw
company together--studied poetry and theatricals
together, and discussed philosophy and Fourrelism
through all their intricate and windines.
Mr.. Foster was a visitor there, with number of
other distinguished literary gentlemen previous to
the recent divorce trial. During the trinl both
ladies, Mrs. Forrest and Madame de Margecriites,
occupied private apartments in the Irving House,
and there they remained during the whole trial AMI
up to the termination Of the first theatrical engage
ment Of Mrs Forrest, and her departure for Phila-
delphia and the South.
Before Mrs. Forrest leaving Cor the South, it hsd
been arranged that Madame de Marguerittes was 70

tire, under the auspices Of Breugham and, a: pre-
liminary to this, Mrs. Forrest aud Madame de Ma

all the "oyser house critics of New York, during
which much champagne and criticism were discuss
ed, amid brilliant exhibitions of wit and fancy,
and future marked out for both the o,tisies that
should eclipse all other futures Of the kind that lad
been known in this city for years past. Mrs Forrest
went to Philadelphia, and Madame dc Narguerittcs
made her appearance for one night. aud then left
Tor Boston, in company with her friends. Since then
we believe, some serious difficulties have arisen be-
tween the ladies in question, bat from what cause
iicw originating, we are unable TO say. II is cln-
gently reported, however, that since Mrs. Forrest
reached Boston there have been some very seross
disculties between them andthat few days agoM Mr..
