The Sun. — 1857-10-14 (London, England)

STANSFELD. The Grange, Burley, Ailey, Oct, 12, 1557.  Beyond all this—as from the very outset it has been perfectly obvious that the crime was in all probability perpetrated in one of those foul dens known as houses of ill-fame--we presume that the police have all this while (ever since the first discovery of the carpet-bag) had their eyes fixed upon those villainous haunts with unwiuking vigilance. Every den of this description in the metropolis is known to the police notoriously. Why not take means, under the terrible circumstances of this case, for not merely watching them, but for subjecting each in turn to the most minute and searching examination I The character of this nameless grey-headed woman is sufficiently obvious : it is that manifestly of the Mother Mandrake of Farquhar. Since the above was in type a reward has bean offered—two hundred pounds for the appreheu:i•n of the murderer, and one hundred pounds for the supposed woman with the carpet-bag.  HAYMARKET THEATRE?.  The revival of the " Love Chase" last night afforded Miss Amy Sedgwick an opportunity of presenting herself to the London public in a new character totally different from that in which she first courted metropolitan applause. As Neighbour Constance she more than fulfilled the promise implied by her performance of Pauline, gaily flinging oft those fetters that seemed to check her in. her more serious impersonation, and allowing full scope to a fund of native spirit and vivacity the existence of which was rather to be guessed than demonstrated before the exhibition of last night. If the laugh with which she entered upon the stage had not the musical ring of Mrs. Nisbett, it was hearty, free, and uncontrolled, and was, moreover, an earnest f the vigour with which she delineated throughout the most vigorous of stage beauties. Through the whole representation there was nothing done by halves. She was thoroughly jocund, thoroughly vexed as occasion served, laughed with all her might and cried with all her might ; in short, was just the person to terrify a father into getting rid of her, and frightening a lover into making her his partner 'or life. That Miss Sedgwick was a completely discliplined artist was shown by her Pauline. The question whether there was genuine spirit and feeling at the foundation of the training is now answered in the affirmative.  Although Miss Sedgwick was the moat intereatinv, object of the evening, the revival must not be clarii.e with those huddled-up exhibitions that frequently take place for the sake of a single "star," the general oast showing a determination to produce as efficient a representation of the lively comedy as the state of histrionic art will allow. Mrs. Marston, an excellent actress, little known at the West-end, had apparently been engaged for the express purpose of playing the Widow Green, and depicted that buxom dame with a degree of unction and evergreen luxuriousness that has not been seen since the days of the late inimitable Mrs. Glover, and she had a suitable lover in the hearty, self-satisfied Sir William Fondlove, personated by Mr. Chippendale. The responsibilities of Wildrake were well met by Mr. Howe, who with a great 'deal of humour rendered especially prominent the sulky surprise consequent on the abortive attempts of the would-be town gallant to dazzle the vivacious and clear-sighted Constance. The stout young squire felt that he'had done his best to be agreeable, and that it was all of no avail ; so he had a perfect right to be as sulky arid stupid as he pleased. The serious interest, which is the weakest in the piece, was sustained by 'Mr. W. Farien and Miss Carciliue White, who did their beat with the unthankful characters' of Master Willer and Lydia: The audience, which was very numerous, evinced the highest satisfaction at the comedy, which, performed as it was, came out with exceeding freshness. A call for everybody concerned, and a spedial bouquet for Miss Sedgwick, were the final signs of approval.
