The forbidding transaction in which Mr. Kean has been formally implicated, is already before the Australian Public. The British Public have not only shewn their good sense in reprobating the infamous and unmanly conduct of their admired actor, but no doubt will keep the transaction in due remembrance. To those of our Readers who are unacquainted with the circumstances, it may be as well to observe, that Mr. Kean has been cast in an action for crim. con. against the peace and the honour of his bosom friend (Mr. Cox) to the tune of £800; and it is not improbable that he must go once more abroad, as his character and reputation are damned at home---though, for years, he has been pre-eminently applauded.
