Seven Sisters is awful piece of trash, assured

countenance OF the gentle Lutz is irradiated with
J sort of celestial glory. The Woman in White,'
at the New Bowery, was dead failure. Spalding

4 L'ENFANr TERRIBLE. e
ii EDWIN FoRREsT-H5s Troubles and his Ti,iumphs,
! A report that the Forrest divorce case has come
to final end has obtained wide circulation, and is
by many believed; but there is no truth in the
4 statement. The Superior Court has decided that,
pending the trial. Mr.. Forrest shall pay to Mrs.
Forrest, that was, three thousand dollars per
n annum. 1t seems, however, that there is still q
chance that this decision may be reversed, and
that Forrest may yet get justice, as the case, we
understand, is to have another hearing in Decem-
ber, before the Superior Court. As Forrest one
day remarked, there is no fnality to the law till
they hang a man!'' His counselers John Van
Buren and James I. Brady, have strong faith in
procuring Justice for Forrest finally, in new trial.
If new trial is had, there is no doubt in the pub
\ lie mind as to the result.
Forrest is playing to crowded audiences nightly,
at Niblos, in New York. During the two months
he has acted there, he has played but three char
acters, Hamlet, Lear and 0thello; and the houses
have ranged from one thousand to over sixteen
hundred dollars nightly. 1t would seem by this
that the New York public have arrived at the CON
clusion that he is a Shakspearan actor. His en-
4 gagement will probably continue there throughout
the winter and spring. We learn that it is the in
!
characters during his present engagement. Mac
4 beth, Corielanus, and other plays are to be pro-
duced in magnificent style. We perceive the best
critics speak of Forests acting in the highest
/ manner ~
gentleman who passed few days in New
| York, and witnessed his Hamlet, 0thello and Lear
informs that Forrest is acting better than ever
/ before The tones of his voice are maryeously
musical and mellow, while he seems to unveil new
1 and hidden beauties in his wondrous illustrations
Of Shakspere's creations. He appears to have
plunged deeper than before into the great art
