gentlemen.
Hamblin is first in the field, with long and very
serious statement of grievances against the lady who
was his first loving hclpmate. He appears to think
that though "rose by any other name would smell
as sweet" briar would scratch just as sharply if
called jessamne, ergo, that his quondam fair dame
should not be propagatng the race of the Charless,
while called by the name of the Hamblin's He COM
plains, moreover that he pays the sum awarded by
the Chancellor for the support Of child and not of
a man in his second childhood, and finally intimaes,
not very politely that ladies of certain age should
not tell fbs to procure beneftting fareicells.
All these platitudes he pronounces in very grave
and gentlemanly way if he don't smile and MUIR
der while he smiles he certainly don't frown or get
in passion but cuts throats in the blandest way in
the world.
Next comes the full grown infant Of 20 years old
James S. Charles, highly indignant at not being con-
sdered years of discretion when he has given such
"a gallant gay Lothario'' proof of manliness in the
Philadelphia production. Having convinced his rea-
ders that he keeps the lady, not the lady him. ne
avows that she passed by his name because she was
worthy of that honor! Unhappy lady what has she
done so soon to be unworthy of it, that her hoaors
are ripening nips their bud and she drops the con-
tested blessing? He says that graceless Tom Ham
bin wont have her and he don't say that he himself
will He saws Toms ashamed Of her, and he is proud
both Of mama and baby
Why then, does this ill-judgng lady take hts name
who SO impoliiely rejects her. and refuse the one
whose owner prdes himself in her worthiness to
bear {?
He says she may be his aoifs; why refuse her the
name when her reputation so sadly needsit He de-
cares the word liar never soiled her lips perhaps he
is equally scrupulous fer blank leaves the soft i'm
parchment to our fertile imaginations. English voy-
ages are expensive things. Farewell bcggngs-bene-
fits we mean-don't pay. The lady has suddenly
discovered that the suit to be tried here and not IN
England and therefore voyagei in her state OF health
was not desirable. He protects the ladies'. Tom
Hamblin, he says Expresses them. Drop syllable,
and that is Hambn's character.
Oh, gentlemen! gentlemen! a precious mess we
make of it-and precious maulng the lady receives
between yo! HaRblin's impudence was always un-
doubted but Charles beats him out of the field 7
Hambn avows his dislike, and like Othello, wishes
to prove his love -. Charles comes out to
defend her, and goes TO prove the fact Hambln
calls hcr an unnatural mother. Charles proves her
foolishly indulgent one! Hambln wants to support
the boy altogether Charles grumbes at havi'g con-
tribated to it already Hambln calls Charles de-
luded Young man. Charles thinks Hambln-1chat
he does not say
oh tempora oh mores Can any one fail to be
interested in this sharp shooting squabbe about lady?
Two dogs fighting for bone would be an appro-
pirate smile. Only this is unuckiy rice rerss-both
seem struggling to be rid of II.
Pray 90 on, gentlemen! Messrs. Harpers may
suspend operations at their press while your conro-
versy lasts-il is vastly amusing than D'Israeli
James and Marryatt combined. Pray GO on, gentle
men: Who fires next?
