The denouement is soon told:--_Warner_, having received his daughter and her husband, gives a party at which _Lady_, and afterwards _Lord Norwold_, are present. Here Warner's anxiety to obtain the bracelet is explained. He reminds his lordship that he once accused his elder brother of stealing that very bauble; and the consequence was, that the accused disappeared, and was never after heard of. _Warner_ avows himself to be that brother, but declines disturbing the rights or property of his lordship, if he will again receive his son. This is, of course, done. _Hilary_ jokes himself into _Miss Mayley's_ good graces, and _Tarradiddle_, in all the glories of a brown coat, and an outrageously fine waistcoat, enters to make the scene complete, and to help to speak the tag, in which all the characters have a hand; Mrs. Glover ending by making a propitiatory appeal to the audience in favour of the author, who ought to be very grateful to her for the captivating tones in which she asked for an affirmative answer to the question-- "What will the world say?" Circumstances prevent us from giving any opinion whatever, except upon the scenery, the appointments, and the acting. The first is beautiful--the second appropriate and splendid--the last natural, pointed, and in good taste. * * * * * SIBTHORPIANA. A clergyman was explaining to the gallant officer the meaning of the phrase "born again;" but it was quite unintelligible to Sib., who remarked that he knew no one who could _bear_ him even once. "Do you read the notice to correspondents in PUNCH?" quoth Sib.--"I do," replied Hardinge, "and I wonder people should send them such trash."--"Pooh!" retorted the punster--"Pooh! you know that wherever PUNCH is to be found, there are always plenty of _spoons_ after it." "It's a wonder you're not drunk," said Sibthorp to Wieland--"a great wonder, because--do you give it up?--Because you're _a tumbler full of spirits_." * * * * * CURIOUS AMBIGUITY. The correspondent of a London paper, writing from Sunderland respecting the report that Lord Howick had been fired at by some ruffian, says, with great _naivete_, "a gun was certainly pointed at his lordship's head, but it is generally believed there was nothing in it."--We confess we are at a loss to know whether the facetious writer alludes to the _gun_ or the _head_. * * * * * THE THORNY PREMIER. A Tory evening paper tells its readers that Sir Robert Peel expects a harassing opposition from the late ministry, but that he is prepared for them on _all points_. This reminds us of the defensive expedient of the hedgehog, which, conscious of its weakness, rolls itself into a ball, to be prepared for its assailants on _all points_. * * * * * TO PROFESSORS OF LANGUAGES WHO GIVE LONG CREDIT AND TAKE SMALL PAY.
