between alr Barnunl ami Mr. Bleman tue father of the
Rateman children, is still raging. My, BarnUm contends
that his for the cldren services extends to
the nth OF June next and he alleges that he has author
lied his counsel TO expend 100000 secure its fulfill

only for year and expired the Eth Of June last
and that he is determined to exhibit them his

from their European tour in few days, and Barnuul
threatens to sue every manager in the country for dam
ages. who may engage them without his previous
TO the Eth OF June next while Bateman pledges himself
to guarantee them against such suits. 1t appears from
Mr. Barnunls statement, that he induced the
gent solicitation of Mr., Bateman when in New0leanS
with Jenny Lind in 1851 to enter into the speculation of
sending the children to Europe, Miss Lind, who
highly delighted at their performances, having first
gested it to Mr.. Bateman. III sending them out, Mr.
Barnum says he expended thousands of dollars in their
travelling expenses wardrobe etc, besides d;spatchin

with unhounded success Mr.. Raelau, he alleges was
according to the contract to receive his share OF the pro-
fits, although he not called upon to eXpend dollar
The amount coming to Mr. Bateman, by the time he
reaches New it said will be between $4,000 and
S2T 1000 which will be increased about sj0000 mora in
the United States if the contract is continued until June
next Mr. Barnum alleges that he offered Mr.. Bateman,
through his agent in Newlor So 900 for his share of
the profits for the last year which he refused and that
he also offered him to give up his interest in the speeuia
