EDWIN FORREST on THE STAGE A6ArN--In the
New York Herald of the 9Th inst, we find the fol-
lowing
For long time the public have been most anx.
ous to ascertain whether Mr.. Edwin Forrest, the
American tragedian. had quilted the7stage for life
or whether he could be induced to give at least a
series of farewell representations. The efforts of
managers to obtain from Mr.. Forrest some dec.
aration of his intentions have been most unre-
hitting, and have at last been crowned with sue
cess. e
gagged in many successful theatrical enterprises,
has at length been enabled to effect an engage
ment, and Mr.. Forrest almost the only living rep
resentative of tragedy and by far the best on the
American stage, will make his first appearance
since his retirement at Niblos Garden on the 18th
of September next supported by carefully Sc
lected and fully competent company, including,
among others, the favorite, Mr.. Charles Fisher.
Mr., Forests last appearance in this city was at
The Broadway theater. about three years ago, and
he gave after that time, we believe, only few
farewell representationslin the provinces.
His engagement with Mr.. Nixon is for the term
Of six months, and he will play, not only at New
York, but also at Boston, Philadelphia Baltimore
and other Of our principal cities, enacting all of his
characters. 1t is not stated whether this Is to be
MIR. FORESTS farewell engagement but the proba.
bilities are that the New Workers will not soon
have another opportunity Of seeing their favorite
actor in his best roles.
