CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHaNear.noa,) THE RIVAL OPERA HO ilaL3. LUMLEY V. WAGNER. Mr. MALINB was heard this morning in support of the appeal against the decision of Vice-Chancellor Parker. The Learned Counsel, following the same line taken by Mr. Bethell on Saturday, confined his argument to the paints as to whether the Court had jurisdiction, or whe ther it was its settled custom to interfere in oases of this nature by way of an injunction. Mr. MARTINDALE 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 proceeded to argue and to cit e cases to s h ow that it had, for a long series of years, been the custom of the Court to grant injunctions in cases where there was a negative stipule,- Lien, even though there was no specific er formance. Entering i n t o the facts of the case, he admitted that if it p Were possible to perceive any trace of the agreement be tween Mr. Lumley and Madlle. Wagner having been obtained by misrepresentation, then Mr. Lumley would have no right to be in court, bat he contended that no such trace could be discovered. With regard to the a greement itself, the he thought that the adoption of it by Wagners was sufficiently clear, even if it were said that Dr. Becher was not sufficiently their agent to bind mane by his act. - As to the non-payment of the aeY, he contend e d that this was not a pre , nor was ever considered by the Wagners as such until it was their turn to make an excuse of the '1"-Payment of it. No trace was to be discovered of their 'having, demanded the payment of the money; they had been informed that Dr. Becher had the money for th em; ey them se l ves reques t e d th e ex t ens i on o f the t 'F a lma, and that long before the time they could have been j us tifi e d i n • br e aki ng th e engagement thmoney w as tendered to them in ba n k notes. He atfore trusted that his Lordship would b e o f opinion the plaintiff, not seeking specific performance, but t r h e lying on the negative prohibition, had, according to plain law of the Court, a right to this remedy, and thaet, so far as the facts were concerned, had proved ' a onfficient case to entitle him to clean fall exercise of his right. Mr. HLSLOP Clans followed on the Earne .'de Mr. BE TU EL L replied, confining himselfCo l the point of jurisdiction, which, be conte.thiest to a most d angerous extent would be enlarged maintained. Th e l aw of this if this injunction were country, he beli e ved, gave no remedy f or b reaches of contract of this nature except by personal damages.

Another descriPtion is, " Every man whose occupation or income raiseelim above menial service or an ordinary trade;" and so on. These are, indeed, very loose and unsatisfactory definitions. The waiter at an inn calls hint " Quite the Gentle man," who adds a liberal douceur to the bill, and for gets neither boots, hostler, or chambermaid. But at the Herald's office, there is many a gentleman registered— many a real esquire —whom waiters, without hesitation, would pronounce to be "no Gentleman." And this is the waiter standard. Go to the shopkeeper, and you will find his definition. of " the Gentleman" to be, ono who buys largely and pays his way —not being over critical as to prices charged, or bills rendered. Go to the livery-stable, and you will there find " the Gentl eman " i s one who rides a good horse, fel lows the hounds occasionally, and " tips" the groom and the huntsman.

If the common The exclusive classes have another test. What is his pud dle run in his veins, he is " no Gentleman." Our opinion 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 personal qualities, not on possession—on the inner man, and not on his outer trappings. Character 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 all, which rule the world; and the will of the pure and strong flows down from them into other natures, as water flows down from a higher into a lower leveL That rogue knew well the value of character, who said to a man distinguished for his honesty—" I would give ten thousand pounds for your good name." "Why so?" asked the honest man. " Because I cou ld ma k e twenty thousand by it," was the answer. A Gentleman, who vaunts himself such in virtue of his ancestry, lineage, or titular dignity, but is wanting in the true qualities of a Man, is no better in reality than a serving -rasa 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 and character, before he can lay claim to the title. lie must earn his dignity before he can justly wear it. The Gentlemen must live after a plan—his discipline must be complete—his actions determined by 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 Montesquieu, " in order to a certaia end, has but little control over his par ticular acts in detail. It is impossible for him so to ar range the parts as to form a perfect whole, unless he has a well-defined plan o f li v i ng arranged in his head and heart." By this means can o n ly a pervadin g h er s mony in the whole life of a man be secured; The Gentleman bas a high sense of honour—nnt in points of etiquette and observance of the code of fashionable lime-but in regard to the avoidance of mean actions. His standard of probity is hie). The Gentleman does not shuffle nor prevaricate : he does not dodge or skulk: he is honest, truthful, stratghtfor werd: his law is rectitude—action in right lines. When he says yes, it is a law ; and ho dares, too, to say the valiant no at the. fitting seasons. The Gentleman feels that Truth and Rectitude are the summit of being ; and the soul of justice and right. doing in human affairs. " The Gentleman," says Emerson, " is a man of truth, lord 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 real force, the word denotes gooennature or benevolence; manhood first, and then gentl eness. " The Gentleman is distinguished by his self respect. He values his character—not so much of it only as can be seen of others, but as he sees it himself; he has a regard for the approval of the inward monitor. And, as he respects himself, so, by the same law, will he respect others. Humanity is sacred in his eyes: and thence Proceed politeness and forbearance, kindness and charity. It is related of Lord Edward Fitzgerald that, while tra velling iu Canada, in company with the Indians, he was shocked by the sight of a poor squaw trudging along laden with her husband's trappings, while the chief him self walked on unencum b ere d . Lord Edward at once re lieved the squaw of her puck by placing it upon his own shoulders. Here was a beautiful instance of what the French call politesse de eceur,—the genuine politeness of the heart. The true Gentleman is under strict self-control. The old Romans- were in the right when employ ing the samo word, virtus, 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 reason, Temperance has always been included among the quali ties of the true gentleman. For temperance tends to keep the head clear, the hands steady, the body health ful, and the morals pure. We may sometimes hear of a " drunken gentleman;" there is even the proverbial saying of " as drunk as a lord ; " but, in either case, the gentleman is of an altogether spurious Character. The true Gentleman is cheerful, even while he iimost in earnest. Cheerfulness is indispensable to trim manly life; it is the very soul of all success. The spirit must bo kept elastic, and all sickly fantasies abjured. As a bishop once said, " Temp er i s n i ne-tenths of Christi anity, ' so cheerfulness anti diligence are nine -tenths of practical wisdom. irehes, and rank have no necessary connexion with genuine gentlemanly qualities. The poor man may be a true gentlemen—in spirit and in daily iirc. He may be honest, truthful, upright. polite, temperat e , coura geous, self-respecting, and se llth e l eing—and that is, to be a true gentleman. The poor man with a rich spirit is in all ways superior to the ?jell man with a poor spirit. To borrow St. Paul's words, the former is as " having nothing, yet possessing all things," while the other, though possessing all things, has nothing. The first hopes everything : and fears nothing; the last hopes nothing and fears everything. Only the poor in spirit are really poor. For the man who is rich in spirit, the world is, as it were, held in trust; and in freedom from the grosser cares, he alone is entitled to be called the true Gentleman. The men who has even lost all, but still retains cou rage, cheerfulness, hope, industry, and virtue, is still rich. Though he may say, as .I.traticis I. aid to his mother, alter the battle of Pavia, " All is lost but honour," he need not be dismayed. His motto may still be " Excelsior," in the face of whatever difficulties may stand in his way:— " To thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou cans's not then be false to any man." Occasionally, nay often, you find the true gentleman concealed under the humblest garb. Here is an old in stance, but a beautiful one:— Once on a time, when the Adige suddenly overflowed its banks, the bridge of Verona was carried away, with the exception of the centre arch, on which stood a house whose inhabitants supplicated help from the windows, while the foundations were visibly giving way. " I will give a hundred French louis," said the Count Spolve rini, who stood by, " to any person who will venture to deliver these unfortunate people." A young peasant came forth from the crowd, seized a boat and pushed into the stream. He gained the pier, received the whole family into the boat, and made tor the shore, where he landed them in safety. "Here is your money, my brave young fellow," said the C oun t. " N o, " was t h e answer of th e young man, "I do not sell my life; give M an, thou the money to thi s poor family, who have need of it.

The only drawbacks were the loss of time that arose out of tee restiveness of some of the horses at the post, 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 been disappointed, we never knew is so dull, or so little influencee by the money laid out.
