The court was tightly packed with anxious auditors, and as there is but one door for high and low to the little top attic which the Woods and Forests have fitted up and dignified by the name of a Vice-Chancellor's Court, his Honour had as much difficulty in finding his way to his seat as if ho had been fighting for a good place in the pit on the night of the fair litigant's debk. Having to dispose of a case in his private room, it was after 12 o'clock when his Honour came into court, and during the whole of this period of delay the crowd con tinued rather to increase than to diminish. Many persons had come, as visitors do to an assize in a country town, determined to have a long day of it, with their sandwiches in their pockets, and indeed there were all the signs of the excitement which is generally supposed to be attached to a murder trial. His Honour having at length taken his seat, Mr. BETHELL said that he appeared in this case for Madlle. Johanna Wagner and Mr. Gye, the defendants, to move that the order for the injunction might be dis charged. He might say that it was long since he had felt so much interest in any case, because they were here to decide what should be the line of conduct of a young lady, whom he thought he might say had been the victim of misrepresentations, and in consequence of whirr so much bad her health failed that it was doubtful whether, whatever might be the issue of this case, Madile. Wagner would be able to fulfil her engage ment with either of the parties. He thought be should be able to show that tho injunction which he now sought to dissolve had born obtained by misrepresenta tion, falsification, and suppression on the part of Mr. Lumley. The state of the law was, that if it bad not been for the clause stipulating Madlle. Wagner should not sing at any other theatre but Mr. Lumley's, the Court would not have interfered, or have granted the injunction. He would show, however, that so far from this stipulation having been inserted in the agreement with Madlle. Wagner, she had positively for bidden Dr. Bacher to insert any such clause ; and after it really had been added to the agreement, Madlle. Wagner having remonstrated with Dr. Bacher, he un dertook to obtain from Mr. Lumley a modification of this stipulation when they had arrived in London. Now, it must be observed, that Dr. Bacher was the recognised agent of Mr. Lumley, and though he did not wish to °salsa any personal attack on Dr. Bacher, it was certain that that gentleman had engaged for more than he could perform, and that it was on this mistaken trust to Dr. Bather's power of obtaining this modification, that Madlle. Wagner had refrained from any more open re monstrances against this injurious condition. This would be one of the chief grounds on which ho should rest his argument for the dissolution of this in junction. It had also been represented unintentionally, perhaps, but certainly falsely, that no engagements were made in England with artistes except with such a con dition annexed. That he would show was not the case. Another ground on which he would rest was the failure of Mr. Lumley to comply with one of the conditions of the agreement, the pre -payment of the sum of 3001. to Madlle. Wagner. This money was not paid as stipulated, nor, as he would show, was it ready to be paid; and the time having elapsed Mr. Lumley was served with the usual notarial protest on the part of Madlle. Wagner, that she considered the engagement at an end. Against this Mr. Lumley's answer was founded, first on a mis-translation of the French words of Herr Wag ner's letter; and, secondly, on the assertion that Dr. Bacher had the money ready to pay before, the stipu lated time. Now, that Dr. Bacher had the money was more than doubtful, that he had effered to pay was de nied, and that ho had not paid it was placed beyond a doubt. Not content, however, with one mistransla tion, but for the ,purpose of prejudicing the lady in the mind of the British public, he had resorted to another—he meant the words in Herr Wagner's letter which had been, rendered in Mr. Lumley's affidavit, " England was only to be valued for the sake of its money." Now, the real meani ng o f th ose wor d s was, that " England only rewarded with money;" meaning that foreign artistes did not receive in this country that attention and reception which was accorded to persons of that rank in foreign courts, but that the only re muneration and reward which they received was the largeness of the salary. Now, with re gard to the prohibitory stipulation, the affida vits of Mr. Lumley and Dr. Becher were in• tended;to lead the Court to believe that it was inserted with the free will of the Wagners—the accounts of the two, however, differed from each other considerably. Bacher said that it was omitted, when the contract was first signed, by mistake, although in a former part of his affidavit he said that this very article had been the subject of great consideration between the parties. It also appeared that Mr. Lumley had furnished Dr. Ba cher with a form of the usual contract which he made with foreign artistes, in which it appeared that there was a stipulation of this nature, and ,t et the Court was to be lieve that wiih this printed form before him Dr. Becher had by mistake omitted this prohibitoty article. Now, the Wagners in their affidavits stated that Bacher came to them with Lumley's printed contract in his hand con taining this stipulation; they objected to this prohibi tory article altogether, and refused positively and determinately to sign any contract containing it. On the suggestion of M. Meyerbeer, the celebrated composer, Herr Wagner drew up in writing a contract which he and his daughter were ready to si gn . Thi s, i n fact, was signe d b y both par ties, and Bacher was sent back to Lumley with it. On his return, however, to the Wagners with this prohibi tory claus e i nserte d , they remonstra t e d w ith hi m , an d distinctly told him that that very clause had been ob jected to from the very first by them. Becher then said in extenuation, that he had not time then to return to Lumley, but he would undertake, when they arrived in London, that a fresh engagement should bo made without this clause. He could also show, from the familiar letters which passed between the Wagners and Dr. Bacher, the Wagners were perpetually complaining of their prohibition. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read letters, in which repeated expressions were used by the defendants significative of their dissatisfaction at this clause. Whatever might be the opinion of the Court as to the prohibition, there was no doubt that it was an article on which there bad been considerable disputeth , which Court had been repudiated by t h e defendant, and o would no doubt feel that this was not a provision to which this lady could be legally, equitably, or morally bound. Bacher had evi dently made statements to both parties which he was not authorised to do, and if Mr. Lumley had been unwise enough or incautious enough to trust Dr. Bacher's professions in direct contradiction of the Wagner repudiations, Mr. Lumley must bear the conse quences. He thought, on the whole, the Court would not think that this condition had been added to the . original contract in such a manner, and so entirely above all doubt, as to make it ono the fulfilment of which should be forced on the young lady by the extraordi nary means sought to be pet in force against her. The Learned Counsel then read Madlle. J. Wagner's affidavit, stating that when Becher came to her at Berlin with a printed form of agreement containing this re striction, she had r e f use d t o s i gn an y agreement con taining n taining such a clau se; th a t B ec h er t o ld her it was at in all enga gements to i nsert i t; t h at Mr. Lumley usualhad engaged all the pri nc ip a l ar tistes in his theatre ; an d th a t if M a demoiselle Wagnerrtheagn went to Covent Garden she would have England ZOINT Australasia pd Brit.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 12,000 bales, of which 3 000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed very firmly, and, compared with last Friday's rates, American sorts a ere Surat nearly as much, and Sea Islands id. per lb. higher. The sales included 8,500 American, 2.000 Egyptian, at 54d. to lid. ; 1,000 Surat, at aid. to aid.; and 300 Sea Island, at ls. sd. to Is. 7id. per lb.—Railway Shares welts flat at lower prices. A very satisfactory report has to be made of the condition of the markets for many leading staples, and fuller prices have been realised for sugar and coffee. Tea, I .however, has become duller, in consequence of Increased arrivals. Cotton sells well, owing to the ac tive state of the Liverpool demand, and dyes maintain their prices. The proprietors of the Assam Company, formed some years since fer the purpose of cultivating tea in the British Eastern possessions are now holding their an nual meeting, and most satisfactory it is to find that whatever difficulties arose from former local mismanage ment have been to a great extent surmounted, that ex perience, though somewhat bought, is likely to prove most valuable, and to restore prosperity to the under taking, and give a fair return ere long even upon the entire capital embarked, and that the teas produced rival in quality those of the Celestial Empire. All this too has been accomplished without a scintilla of " pro tection" or Government favour, and had sugar been al ways produced upon the same healthy system of compe tition, we should hear little of colonial distress. The following are the most interesting points in the directors' report, and it will be deemed most gratifying that a di vidend is this time declared:— " Your directors are able to inform you, that the ge neral aspect of the affairs of the company continues to bo satisfactory and promising. " The information which we have received since the last annual general meeting convinces your directors that the extension of our cultivation must necessarily be carried into effect very gradually, for in consequence of the paucity of labour in the province it would be unwise, if not impossible, to clear and plant a large tract of land in any one year. At the same time it will be our aim to add to the cultivation in every year as much as possible for the resons stated in our report of the 2d May, 185 1. " We have now the satisfaction to inform you, that the tea of 1850, sold during the past year, has produced a net total of 18,153/. sterling, and an average price of ls. eid. per lb. A portion of the tea of 1851 has been received, and was sold on the 31st March last, it pro. , duced a net average of is. 9d. per lb. " With reference to this last shipment, our brokers report that it is quite calculated to maintain the high cha racter which our produce has established in this market. " We have unfeigne d p leasure in bein g able at this meeting to declare a d ividend of 2i per ce n t. upon the paid-up capital, cut of the profits of the company d ur i ng the Tbdusndoivniedxetn,dtowtihlle be alareholde rs regis tered in the books of the com p an y on th at day." payable on and pa after tslat year. ar. of 24th The dividend declared at the Assam meeting is 10s, per share for the year. last The Ilanaburgh mail of _ Friday bri ngs the rate of exchange on Lon don at 13 6i, being lower.

The plaintiffs contended that tho property was v,isted in them, sod that the de fendants had no right to deliver it to any one except by their express directions. It was admitted that the de fendants had neither notice of the fiat nor of the act of bankruptcy. The Court entertained no doubt what ever as to the goods being those of the assignees, but they thought the defendants were protected by the 84th section of 6 Geo. IV., c. 16, which said that no person, body, corporate, or public company, having in their pee' session any goods belonging to a bankrupt. 6boald be endangered by their kiiiiv,ry to the hank:upt, provided ihey had not at the time any notice of the act of bank ruptcy. It was argued that the operation of that section was confined to the period before the issuing of t he commission, until which time the goods properly be longed to the bankrupt; but ta e C ourt did not think that was a proper construction of the section. Its real object was to protect wharfingers, dock companies, and other public bodies against losses when the delivery of good; to the wrong party was owing to no fault of their own. The point as to the notice of the fiat being ipso facto s notice to the whole world of the party's hankruptcy, the Court considered was not tenable. On these ground the judgment would be for the defendants. Judgment for the defendants. CHESTER RACE (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
