r eftßbo*, "Ar 1 , I,lYt -melut4oDq+ 4,4„ CIIANCERY.—(THIS DAY:) (Before the LORD CHANCELLIR.) ' . THE RIVAL OPERA. HOUSES. LIIXLEY V. WAGNER. Mr. Utiles was beard this morning in support of the appeal against -the decision of Vice-Chancellor Parker. The Learned Counsel, following the same line 'taken by Mr. Bethel' on Saturday, confined his argument to the - points as to whether the Court had jurisdiction, or whe ther it was its settled custom to interfere in cases of this nature by way of an injunction. ' ' - Mr. IltlenTerneehn followed on the same side. Mr. BACON then proceeded to address the Court. in support of the injunction. Addressing himself to the point of jurisdiction, the Learned Counsel proeeeded to argue and to cite cases to sleciw than it bad, for a long series of years, been the custom of the Court to-grant injunctions in cases where there was u negative stipula tion, even though there was no specific performance. Entering into the filets of the case, he admitted that if it were possible to perceive any trace of the agreement be tween Mr. Lumley and Madlle. Wegner having been obtained by misrepresentation, then, Mr. Lumley would • have no right to be in .court, but he contended that no such trace could be discovered. With regard to tho agreement itself, he thought that the adoption of it by the Wagners was sufficiently clear, even if it were' said that Dr. Becher was not sufficiently their agent to'bind them by his act. As to the non-payment of the money, .he contended that this was not . a p re . cetlent, nor was ever considered by the Wagners as such until it was their turn to make an excuse of the non-payment of it. No trace was to be diosovered of their having demanded the payment of the money; they had been informed that Dr. Becher had tha money for them; they themselves requested the extension of the time, and that long. before the time they could have been justified in breaking the engagement the money was tendered to them in bank . notes.. He therfore trusted that his Lordship would' be of opini on that the plaintiff, not seeking specifi c performance, but relying on the negative prohibiti on , h ad, according to the plain law of the Court, a right to thisdy, and that, so Jar as the facts w ere concerned, had P n roved a seflicient case to entitle hi m to claim full exercise of his In ,ht. • Mr. Humor CLAIM followed on the eh . Mr. BETELELL replied, confining hl'nr m lf ei s t° thei . point of jurisdicti on , w hi ch, ha contended, would be enlarged to a most dangerous extent, if this injunction were maintained. The law of this country, he believed, gave no remedy f or b reac h es of contract of this nature except by personal damages. Hil Loans uee t h en procee d ed to give. judgement. This, he said, was a case arising out of a simple contract Without considering for a moment the difficulties which . arose from the conduct of the parties, it was a contract of a young lady to sing at her Majesty's Theatre for a certain number of nights, and not to sing elsewhere during that period. Nothing was moro simple than the case upon • which he had now to give judgment, or the points or law which had been so elaborately and ably set before him. Re understood the precise question, to be, whether the Court could interfere in any but a case of specific per formance, or to prevent the performance of what bad been contracted not to be done, when the other part of the agreement rhtnained to be done. The point, there fore, was, fi rs t, h ow th e ma tt er st o od u p on p r i nc ipl e , an d cow it stood in regard to authority. In the first case, "Martin v. Nutki ns , " the Court did i s s u e a n jejune t:on to restrain an act from being done, which Fan by no means be co ns id e red as one 1 1 1 which the case could have granted any specific per formance. Thi s c ase f e ll w i t hin th e seco nd li ne o f cases cite d bY the °tenant. It, however, was a case in which the Court granted an injunction to prohibit the t r y . ? front doing that which the Court could never te, interf,r e d with r es p ec t o f, by' way o f spe care perforrnance. The' Noble and Learned Lord `ureviewed at considerable length the cases of " Bar ret v, Bi n k w _ „ grove," " Robinson v. 'Byron," "'Collinson v. , been in, from ail of whi c h h e i n f erre d t h a t i t h a d a l ways the s ett l e d rule of the Court to prohibit by Injunc tion the - doing of those things which had b een contracted not to b done, even when they wore things 'which the Court could not hav e compelled the performance of. This Was a mixed ease , b ut of this nature, that there • were not two acts to be done by p Lumley was not to d o ono act and. the parties. Mr. t e c a young another, which might, and h a d in somebu a very . important difference, o i u n n tr g odu la c d e y d it was an act to be done by the th e youthg this case an act of forbearance, not to break in upon lady alone, any sets the performance of which she had agreedto of the xe cute. The one was co-existent and co -equal with the other.. There was no opposition of intere st during that time of her engagement. She was not to sing for anybody: else.. In effect, the whole contract was one contract, and according to all sound judicial construction and the true spirits and essence of men's acts, the agreement to per form , at one theatre .must necessarily exclude th e Performance at another at . the same • time. The measure of performance was meted out according to the l a dy' s ph ys i ca l capacity to sing, and In_ l) contract showed that she was to exercise all her physical capacities allowed her to do, to aid the theittre ;which she intend e d t o attac h h erse lf. Th ere f ore , if there_ had.been no stipulatio n , s h e wo uld bait) broken the spirit and true meaning of ' the contract an much as she ha d done now. As regards this being a mixed eas e it _ et .was necessary to s ee w h a t was th e 'kids- En ion of the Court. The Court ' in. such cases operated to bind men's con • to a sciences es far as they could b e b oun d true and literal performance , of their agree ment, lie had al dealing and Iv 1 a s thought .that the . fair to be found . fidelity to engagement which was tmore general in England than in any other cows power of the Court.

W ays been the custom ,of the Court to interfere , • eases of this nature by way of injunction. 1 t the course of this part of the case his Lordship re xnerkid that if the stipulation not to perform at any other theatre had bean omitted, he should certainly be 1 of opinion °Pinion that no injunction could be. given .., The point 6 Ththe'law therefore he thoht had been properly de. rl --41 , c1 in the' court below,' bud he wishbd it to be clearly o ,7 l ivrstood that he thought the remedy was, with casee - the slightest doubt, applicable . to this as to the 4b7.llterits of the case rested on two points 7 _ s., " or confidence by Bather, who was confidently a. aee ted be ' l3 be a paid agent of Lumley, although he was und t o here. say a hatever might be the fair inferench,t wag Ao . , lavas and evid te f iptp. had ce o any such fact in the :;ffi , , never seen a case in which there was less fonnd g ti 116 lanrd n e tor a charge of wilful misrepresentation. th e ~,t hhs oiP then went through the circumstances of and s e u „ e l ,g of the engagement between the Wagners in wh iv r l ' t e h Y, stating Ida opinion that, from the manner W IB vrordeP engagement, drawn up by Mr. Wagner, Perso n , • Mr• Wagner himself was one of the last delved. whoht would be Sikely •to be. - easily clo the prnhib . -t'here was no eviuence to show that with the • ttory clause was imposed on Miss Wagner wh ,,,,_ lntention of deceiving her, for'it was a 'clause L uni tua le entered into all the agreements made by Ahlr. eeh en t Y l t , The Wagners grumbled at it, but acquiesced e et cla ns .. , n gagement was sent back with the prohibitory no :. i . serted i they had full power to' rejeCt ithbut they three d id . With regard to the payment of the hundred • poands, he was certainly of 9Dju ittn that e ' into that C Mr. Lumley never could have came pot l a k es „out to enferce the_ contract unless he had 3 ch' the 6" right by offeringeo payehh - 3901. in full time use to whi h 't c 1 seas to be applied—to bring the ,Lea ers over t° England. ' Tile . question then was, h e _ ll c s . a bound to pay it? By the first contract 1 efowre that t und to pay before tho 9th of ' March, but / ay the young lady applied herself . to Lumley to e 11 convenin enlarge the time of the contract to suit her :ilia env°. M r . L umley hid acce d e d to' thOt, informed them that Bather bad the 300/ in his 411 dS. la the rsican tiers, h time Bech er h a d written to the Wag to Which he asking rece iv ed °W.and where h e ' a h ou ld s e n d the money, no answer. The Wagners allowed they had received a fetter cn that date (10th instant), but denied that it Mentioned anything about the money Under those circumstances it was natural to call for the letter itself', and he was not at all eathfied with the mien whichJrnd . been given for its non-production. He thought there was no greater tet-tinveny to a man's ve racity than when—not knowing but . that the letter itself was in existence, to be produced a few hours after if dee swore untrue-'—he swore distinctly to the contents of that letter. There was nosufficient•excaso for:the non production of the letter ; probably it was along, with some other letters of Mademoiselle Wagners, at Berlin, in a bureau of which she would not give up the key, and might be found there when she returned. He was, therefore, to take the facts as stated by Dr. Becher in his affidavit. With respect to what had been said of Mr. Lamley's . embarrassments it was guile clear from what afterwards took place at Hamburgh that the money would have been ferthcoming if the lady had insisted upon it. He considered therefore that as Madlle. Wagner had obtained a favour from Mr. Lumley .by opening the contract, she was not at liberty to lull his prudence to eleepland to leave him under the bell'f that the money in Dr. Becher'a hands had been appropriated in the Manner he desired. Not a word did she say about the money; but when Mr. Bacher came from Vienna to take her to Leaden, he found an engagement entered into with Mr. Gye; and on the 6th they found .her going before the notary and making that stat emen t b y which she declared herself free from the contract. Tho court, however, declared, that she was not released from her contract, and as a .decree was more powerful t than a noterial protest she would find that she would have to obey its order. He thought it was entirely her own fault, and it was quite clear she had intended, as , far. as she could,.to prevent the money being paid, in order to eseepo the liability of performing the covenant into which she had entered. Ho must therefore effirm the dnision. of the Court below and refuse this motion with costs. __- MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

STATE OF TRADE. <From the Manchester Guardian.of this day.) • MANCHEiEIt, TIIESDAY.—The ieeeipte of cotton , at all the American 'ports, up to the 11th inst. wore 2,742,009 bales against 2,102,000 at the corresponding datelast year- and the accounts of the growing crop are fully as decided as those , of last week in pointing to an aggregate of 3,000,000 bales. Prices appear to have yielded ,te. per lb; but a rally is reported to have subse quently taken place, raising the quotations to ie. per lb. above those of the previous week; and anadvance - of stated 6 - have been realised at New Orleana. Yesterday the Liverpool market was dull, .with a alight advantage in favour of buyers. To-day, however, a speculative movement has been excited by the . trans-Atlantic intel ligence aheve stated; and, according to the telegraphic secoulit4, the sales` amount to 18'• to 20,000 bales, two-thirds of whiCh - are taken by speculators and exporters, the _gain in prices being id. per lb. ‘ .upen ' ~rates of Friday. These influences have lien which would 'otherwise have market,sliglit farther bias against the e f b e e l t t ray in betrayed our a prodacers enmity articles. As it is, they have been enabled to exhibit a general steadiness in yarns and goods; and some operations in 16's to 24's water twist, for China, with some considerable speculative pur chases of 20'a water, by German houses, have ren dered thee(' yarns rather dearer than they'were a week ago. Some of these transactions appear.. to have been entered into before the arrival of the Niagara; and, therefore, the, hardening tendency in the spinnings relerred to is . net• eolcly due to • her advices. Good 40's mule„baFrather Improved, under a bettor demand for the continent. But there is no general increase of demand for yarns of any kind—not , even the water twists just !alluded to ; and certainly the pro ducer:3 Of warps, 'though firm, are unable to make w ay. at the quotations of the last' week or two. Cops are steady;" as is also reeled mule below 40's, and 40's end 50's, of Indian. quality. Goods adapted to the Willi trade are, however, barely sustained in value; but the better sorts of printing cloths, 26 a'nd 36 inches, are rather improving. The m _nufacturers of domestics, however, have still to. struggle for their advance of 1-16 d. per yard. The day has been marked by much caution amongst the great body of buyers, who are little inclined to go along with speCulatora in cotton. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had little change in the flannel market to-day, either in price or the amount of,business Onset:sled. The price of wo ol his heedfully ansintaided;'and its present tendency i s u p war d. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY:4)IIF manufacturers have generally ben making a ...fair amount of sales during the 1 pest ',week, and prices for such de scriptions of goods as are ;n demand are on the advance. The stocks in the hands of manufaeturers are unusually light. ThroWn Silk's—The market has been tolerably active: The ;foreign orders continue to absorb a good deal of euiphis stodx, Which prevents any`accumulation of fine 'Pricei are locking up. Itaw market has acquired additional firmness sinoo our lait, although the business doing is not large, and chiefly confined to speculators. HALIFAX, LiATURDAY. , —In our piece hall, and in the warehouses alsO, there is but little doing in worsted goods, and prices are far fr om satisfactory. - The tone of the yarn market is less encouraging. The merchants are not willing to accede to the advance required by the spinners, and, in all probability, the amount of produc • tion will have to be lessened. Wools •are not active. The steaks in the stapler's hands are low, and the quo tations exhibit much,firmness. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.--OUT market Still con tinues very quiet. Very little trade has been done in the hail; but some odd parcels of black and brown doe skins have been sold, at very low figures. Manufao turing isin a very languid state. The manufacturers work cautiously. the very precarious state of..the wool market warranting their doing so; for as the raw ma terial advances ia price, the manufactured goods fall, there bang so small a deraand for them. THE MAYNOOTH DEBATE YESTERDAY. The Protei i tautista •of .the Ministry is. very like its ProteCtionism. In two nights both have been brought to the tea—both are found wanting. The. Earl of Derby has given up the corn-fax; Al - . I)israeli the inquiry into Mayneotb. The former has prejudgeil the decision of the agricultural e p na ti tu encies upon the one question, the latter has done his beet to prevent Parliament from coining to any decisiOn upon, the 'other. The Mitynooth debate came to an issue : yesterday morning. All were ready to divide. The . questions was- ripe f o ra division. Whit did the mimstry—fut, a f ter the speeches of Messrs.- Wal-- pole, Disraeli g o Napier, s loe : Ministry end Mr. Spooner are identical —what did the , Ministry do? Four o'clock struck, and tho debate was well nigh eridiid; when up rose Mr. .Feshfield from behind her Msj a Mi n i ste rs, e journmo n t at eaty'. nd the debate! P re ssed by the sarcastic P29Y ed the indefinite ad . - taunts - of Optidailioil, they attempted to amend the pro posal. resumed " after the , other or ders of the day"—in 'Peek p r oposed that the debate bhould he other words; at midnight 1 Stranger still, they carried their proposition ! It is . true that this success. -was mat gained altogether with out resistance. On the contrary, the endea vour viss made by , Mr. Anstey to compel the adjourtitn'eiit to a more season able time--viz., to this morning.„. But on' •thii morning • the Derby Stakes will be losti and 'wou; and, as Mr. Anstey well remarked, In the C onse rvative ,mind the Derby element preponderates over the Protestant." So the Hotta(' upon 4 two. diviner's rejected Mr. Anstey's proPosition,--Messrs. Sp o oner end Newdegate , a nd all her M a j es ty' s Ministers voting its the majority. Still a chunk' remained--for the Ministry, not for the Oppeiftioh, The debate was adjourned until the evening; albeit " to come on after the other orders."

If O A c ommon pud dls run IQ his veins, he is no Gentleman." • Our ()Platen is, that the only true definition of A Gentleman is—" A Man of true and noble character." When you adopt this definition, you at once strip the designation of all that is adventitious. You make the title rest on true merit, not on accident—on peroonal qualities, not on possession —on the inner man, and not ou his cuter trappings. Charatter is Nature, in its highest and best form. Men of character are not only the conscience of society, but they are also its motive power. For it is moral qualities, after an, which rule the world; and the will of the pure and strong flows down from them into other natures, as water flowa down from a higher into &lower level. That rogue knew well the value of character, who said to a MAU distinguished for his honesty--" I would give ten thousand pounds forybur go o d s am e " Why so?" asked the honest man. " Eecauae I could make _twenty thousand by it," was the answer. A Gentleman, who vaunts himself such in virtue of his ancestry, lineage,"cr titular dignity, but is wanting in the true qualities of a Man, is no better ia reality than a servinglaan Who carries on his sleeve the badge of some noble family, yet is himself an ignoble per son. Every gentleman must prove himself to be such by his own life andeharacter, before he can lay claim to the title. Ho must earn his dignity before he can justly wear it. The Gentleman must live after, a plan—his discipline must he coniplete—his actions determines:l4)Y high-toned principle, not by mean expediency. All particular acts are to have reference to the general result. "He who does not regulate'his'whole life," says Alontesquieu, " in order to a certain end, has but little control over his par ticular acts in detail. It is' impeSsible for him •so to ar range the parts as to ferni a perfect whole, unless he hes a well-defined plan of riving arranged in his head and heart." By this means can only a pervading har mony in the whole life or t man ha secured. The Gentleman - has a' high sense of honour—not in points of etiquette and obseivtinea of the code of fashionable - lite—hdt in regard to the avoidance of mean setitins. 'His standerd of probity is high. The Gentleinan does not shuffle nor prevaricate-: he does net dodge or skulk: he is honest, truthful, straightfor ward: --his law is rectitude=action in , right lines. When he says yes,' it is a law ; and 'he - dares, too, to say the valiant no at the' fitting seasons. The Gentleman feels that Truth" and Rectitude are the commit of being ; and the soul of justice and right doing in human "affairs. " The Gentleman," says Einerstin, " is a man of truth, lard of his own actions, and expressing that lordship in his behaviour, not in any manner dependant or servile, either on persons., or.opi nions, or possessions, Beyond this fact of truth, and reel force, the word denotes good-nature or benevolence; manhood first, and then gentleness." The Gentleman is - distiaguished by his self respect. He values his eharaoter—not so much of 'it' only as eQII be seen of others, but as he sees it himself; he has a regard for the approval of the inward monitor. And, as ho respects himself, so, by the same law, will he respect others. Iluininity is seared in his eyes: and thence proceed politenest and forbearance, !sixth:Less so d c h ar ity. It is rel a t e d of L o rd Edward Fitzgerald that, while tra velling in Can a d a , in company with the Indians, ho was shocked by th e s i g ht o f a poor squaw trudging along laden with h er h us b an d' s trapping', While the chief him self walked on unencumbered. Lord Ed ward at once re lieved the squaw of her pack by placing it upon hill own shoulders. Here was a beautiful instance of what the' French call politesse de cceur,—the genuine politeness of the heart. The true Gentleman is under strict self-control. Tho old Romans were in the right when employ ing the same word, virtu., to designate strength and virtue; for there can be no victory, in truth, without victory over ourselves; and to be victorious in virtue needs strength and courage. For the same raison, Temperance has always been included among the quali ties of the tree gentleman. For temperance tends to keep the bead clear, the hands steady, the body health ful, and the morals pure. We me y some times hear of a '' drunken gentleman;"there is even the proverbial saying of " as drunk as a lord;" but, in either case, the g e ntleman is of on altogether spurious character. The true Gentleman is cheerful even while be is most in earnest.

The particulars seibjeined will show the racing must have left nothing to desire, either on the score of quan tity or interest; twe question, indeed, if a better list or better sport was, ever known on the first day at Epsom. The only drawbacks were the loss of time that arose out of .the restiveness of some of the horses at the poet, and the delay in displaying the numbers of the starters, the latter easily to be remedied in future by strength ing the staff of the clerk of the scales. Those who looked for any new feature In the Derby betting must have bleu disappointed, we never knew is so dull, or so little iefluencee by the money laid out.. The only animals backed to any great amount were the two cracks, ettelirof whom will be found quoted at a slight improve ment on the prices returned from the Corner en Mon day.: Harbinger, Stockwell, Womersloy, and Daniel O'Roerke were Weide , ; Alcoran, Claverhousee Kings ton, and Alfred the Great in'very little. demand; and Orelio, Augur, and Chief Baron Nicholson friendless.

(CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDN:CSDAYS.) Sir,—On Monday the 24th, the ." Corrupt Practices at Elections" Bill was proposed for third reading. A small but devoted band resisted the progress of the Bill. After a chivalrous opposition, the Bill was read a third time by a majority of 281 to 6. The struggle was renewed, for a permisdon to candi dates in boroughs to give to the amount of five shillings to each of the voters, or so many as would accept it. But disheartened by the previous ill success, the sup porters of this amendment withdrew. Oa an amendment for introducing the words" County, Division of a County," the Government opposed with an argument, which may be legitimately taken for the measure of their inclination and their talent in execution. They objected, that it would be impossible to disfran chise an extensive county, and therefore corruption in counties was what it was absurd to legislate against. They would lime put their argument on a broader basis, if they bad said all England could not be diAranehised, and therefore corruption in all England must take its course. Besides which, it appeared on consulting the Bill, that the Bill did not by any means rest upou the power of disfranchisement, but on the cc ntrary was directed simply to provide the means of inquiry and " reporting to Her Majesty." The words relating to Counties were finally inserted, by a majority of 109 to 71. By another amendment, the words " University or Universities" were inserted; and the Bill was finally passed. On the same evening a debate took place on the Poor Law Board Continuance Bill; at the end of which the Board carried the division by 112 to 33, and a subse quent division for fillicg up the blank with 1854 instead of 1853, by 72 to 26. The question appeared in the main to be one between metropolis and country. The Colonial Bishops Bill (from the Lords) was de ferred for second reading till Thursday. This is entirely a different Bill from the one mentioned a few days ago ander the same title; and is a Bill "to enable Colonial and :other Bishops to perform certain Epi sc op a l Func tions, under Commission from Bishops of England and Ireland." Bishops other than Colonial, appear to mean Bishops in the East Indies, &c., to which the term Co lony is not usually applied. On Tuesday the House met at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of proceeding with the motion on Maynooth. The time till six o'clock was consumed in skirmishing, of which it is impossible to report any result, except - that at the conclusion of it a motion to adjourn the House was resisted by 128 against 'B9, and on the House peeing again at eight, it was immediately counted out. The House had previously determined on itterising to adjourn till Thursday. I am, Sir, yours very sincerel.-, AN OLD BEFOIIMER. Blackheath, May 26,1852.

Henry Taylor, in" Philip van Artevelde," says some what sadly " The world knows nothing of its greatest men." We know absolutely nothing of the particulars of Homer's life; darkness has envelop ed the whole, and not an incident or saying of his survives the lapse of time. And this is true of many great thinkers; they mix not in the noise of the crowd, said the world passes them by with somewhat of contempt. Bat we know enough gar; of homer's life i to see that it end n erhaps of sorraow beg upon ear th ; he was blind, they say, and everywhere in his poems he manifestly feels at home in the dwellings of the poor. But this is not the e ue with all; there are some lives that are poetical in th e thl i td de highest degree, full of poiesis, or action.

That the present system should be abolished, and that the paymasters and pursers should be placed on a fixed scale of pay, and in proportion to the duties they have to perform. " 2. That they be divided into seven classes, and that the promotion from one class to another depend on the faithful discharge of their duties. "3. That the number of paymasters and pursers, at present amounting to 474, be reduced to 340, and that the number of widows receiving pensions be limited to 162. "4. That a liberal scale of half-pay be •`• ms.auted, as well as a limited retirement." _ ..sib©rreport also recommends a tirailar plan to be adopted with respect to the payrat.sters' and pursers' stewards and assistants.
