Mrs. FORREST CONC ON TnE SrAeE.-We IN

Forrest is going upon the stage, and that she will

for Scandal" when is peculiarly appropriate, after
the recent exposures We have had in the course Of
the protractea investigation before Judge Oakley.
| she is announced as Mrs. Catharine Sinclair,
having dropped the name Of Forrest, which she got
| rid Of by the result Of the late trial.
We understa nd she has determ ned to adop. this
course, in opposition to the advice Of her counsel
ard her most cors derate friends. She has another
set Of friends who have surrounded her since her
| separation from her husband, and have generated
en- arros Yhere in which she lives, moves, and has
ker being, ard which is very like that which has
been described, the recent TRIAL, TO have filed
the region Of Twenty-second street She is nov,
ard viii heuceiorth be, beeagured by all those
very literary md philosophical characters, male
and female, who generally contive to form tho
oety of distinguished artists in the theatrical pro-
essicn This iahl noe has probably led her to take
step SO opposed to the wishes of Of her best
friends.
/ The friends however, who have advised her TO
20 upon the stage, are not without some plausible
reseons for giving this advice. Mrs. Forrest, or
MIS- Catharine Sinclair, she cells herself, is tho
daughter of Mr.. Sinclair, celebrated artist, well
known in both worlds. In her infancy, he was
surrounded by theatrical artists, and by all the
manners, customs and habits Of that class-in her
womanhood, the same. She is emily, there
fore, returning to her former associations,
which is sort Of second nature with her.
She likes life Of exciteme t, and since her sepa.
ration from Mr.. Forrest, she has lived in whirl
that prepares and fits her for theatrical hubbub.
A morbid taste, it seems, has been formed, that
must be gratfed, else she would die before her
time, of ennui and want Of occupation. Yet, it
must be ad nitted that, in he face Of this seeming
necessity, the new candidate for theatrical fame
has friends and advisers who entirely averse to
the course che has marked out for herself. They
think it is incompatible with her tranquility, true
| happiness, and respecsabity, and may ultimately
end badly.
This singular experiment will depend much on
| her successful debut.
| Now, whether she has genius for the stage is
question that still remains TO be determined, but
will meet with very speedy solution. From what
we have learned through private crces-from those
who had an opportunity Of witnessing her rehear.
sals-her chances Of success appear to be uncertain
She has right, however, according to the Declare.
ton Of Independence, to follow the pursuit Of hap.
pness in her ewn way, and according to the best of
her own judgment. She has right to her own
opinion, and to choose her profession, however
much her sedate friends may be averse to it. She
will no doubt have fair hearing and all the pub
lie journals will do her ample justice, by just, fair
and impartial criticisms. There will be consider.
able curiosity to witness her debut. Why did she
not select theatre more commensurate with her
prospects and name I!
