ErocH IN THEATRIcALs AND ARr-Ths week
will be devoted to the varied accomplishments and
talents Of three ladies distinguished in the walks
OF the drama. Mrs. Hamblin, formerly Mrs. Shaw,
will make her ,eatr6s at the Bowery Theatre, to
please her numerous admirers, in that range OF
characters which has given her so great a reputa-
ton /; Miss Davenport will hold the sceptre in the
realms of the muses. at the Broadway Theatre,
with her bold and aspiring energy; and Miss Cush-
man will appear at the Asor Place Theatre, with all
her characteristic genius. This is certainly great
opportunity for rivalry, far as success in attract
ing the public is concemed-but the style of each
of these ladies peculiarly individual that there
can be no comparisons made, as, indeed, there
never should be in judging OF art.
We have not heard, whether or not we are to
have any new specimens of dramatic literature
during these several engagements. The probability
IL, tina, we shall have only repetons Of the stereo-
typed plays Of the times, and this too, while some
Of the enterprising New England theatres are
striking out new path. They announce the
Parkman Murder" great tragedy, written, we
suppose, somewhat in the style Of Shakspcare's
early drama, "The Yorkshire Tragedy" We have,
Also here in New York, an exhibition Of statuary,
large as life, and great deal more natural, com.
prising the forms and features of DR.. Parkman and
Professor Webster, which will introduce n new
epoch in art, in this city. We have not heard il
Littlefeld will explain this group, or if he is likely
to take part in the tragedy. lie would draw
largely upon our creduiy and our pockets and
though the price Of an engagement would not be
less than three thousand dollars, his appearance in
this city, in new tragedy, would prove more pro-
ftable TO managers than even much Of the extraor-
binary talent at present available II il a curious
epoch in the drama and art.

Tm FORREST CAsE.-Our private accounts from
Harrisburg state that there is possible chance
for Mr.. Forrest TO get his divorce bill passed into
law by the present Legislature of Pennsyy ania,
and that it is highly probable he will abandon that
plan Of operations altogether. His last resource is
to 60 into the law courts, either of Pennsylvania or
New York. and ask for trial and decision in the
good old regular way.
This plan is also said to be agreeable TO Mrs.
Forrest and her principal advisers in this city, both
legal and amateur, including, among the latter, n.
J.. Willis and Chevalier Wikof Indeed, we UNI
derstand that the latter cheyaler in the eypecta-
ton of final and legal separation, has been making
some arrangements for the DEBUT Of the lady as an
artist on the stage, either in this country or in
England The chevalicr has some experience in
this line Of operations, particularly during the bril-

and we have no doubt he would manage the affairs
of any dfbutanfe with skill and tcaf. In the mean
