Under these representations, and feeling, as it were, under intimidation, she had entered into engage ments with Mr. Gye. Mr. Lumley then offered to her 30,1. in Bank of England notes, which were refused, and Mr. Lumley was unable to prevail upon Mdlle. Wagner to fulfil her contract. The affidavits went on to say that on the 19th of April Mdlle. Wagner arrived in Eng land, and that she arab advertised to sing at Covent-garden Theatre to-morrow evening. Affidavits were also read from Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Rach, setting forth that in conse quence of Mdlle. Wagner not singing at Her Majesty's The atre, boxes and stalls bad been returned on their hands, having been taken under the impression that that artiste would appear there. On these facts the Learned Counsel, after quoting the several cases of " Kemble v. Kean," " Clarke v. Price," " Morris v. Colman," and other cases, submitted that he had good ground for asking for an injunc tion to restrain Mdlle. Wagner from breaking the last clause in the agreement, and Mr. Gye from taking advantage of her services. Mr. CLARKE followed on the same side, insisting that the excuse of the non-payment of the 3001. was a mere after thought, and that the larger offers and misrepresentations of Mr. Gye were the real cause of the pre-engagement being broken. Mr: Mantles, for the defendant, said that in consequence of. ,the very short notice given he had had no opportunity of becoming' acquainted with the plaintiff's affidavit, or of filing affidavits on behalf of thq defendant. There was a substantive answer, however, on the part of the defendant, and that was, a breach of the contract on the part of Mr. Lumley under circumstances which induced the defendant and her father to belive that Mr. Lumley would be unable to perform it. With regard .to the negative ..016,40,.._he .ealtunitted that - that was. not I proved with sufficient clearness to have been - a part of the original contract; it was inserted afterwards, and was signed merely by Dr. Becher. He should suggest that the , case should be deferred until Monday, when he should be pre pared to go into it on its merits. One night's performance could not do so much harm to Mr. Lumley. Vice-Chancellor PARKER—Are you prepared to give any undertakings? Mr. MALIWS said that he would have no objection to give an undertaking that Mdlle. Wagner should not sing a se cond time until the affair was disposed of. Mr. BACON said that this would certainly not meet the views of his client. Mr. Damn then proceeded to argue that there was no proof that the negative stipulation had been accepted or signed by Mdlle. Wagner, and it could not therefore be considered to be part of the contract. The Court, there fore, could do nothing, because, even though it might on sufficient grounds have prevented Mdlle. Wagner from sing ing at Covent-garden, it ce rtainl y had no powe rned r to make her sing at Her Majesty's The atre. The - Lea h Counsel quoted a number of cases to show that it had always been the practice of the Court, when it could not enforcethespecie performance of a contract, not to interfere at al l. Heb the sub mitted that there had been a bre ach of the con tract alsoy nonpayment of the stipulated sum o f 300/. on the part of Mr. not Lumley. He therefore thought that the Court on was but called upon to take the course which was ur g ed up it, that the parties ought to be left to their remedy at law. Mr. licarrrman followed on the same side. His Honours suggested that an undertaking should be given that the young lady should not act to-morrow, leaving as opportunity at the same time of making affidavits in the course of the day and entering into the merits of the case. Mr. MALINS said that he was afraid he should nut be in a better position, because it would be impossible to make affi davits in the course of to-morrow. His HONOUR then said that the Court must act necessarily on ex parte information, and the statement of one side only of the question. It appeared then to him , i n the first place, that the contract containing the prohibitory clause was the real bond fide contract existing between the parties,. ad that it had been accepted and agreed upon by both parties n , and was the agreement by which the conditions of the engagement were regulated. If there were a contract between the parties, there was little doubt on his mind, that if a party agreed to do a specific thing for a valuable consideration, and t o refrain from doing something else inconsistent with that former thing, thst the Court could and would interfere to restrain the party from doing that which had been agreed not to be done, even if it were unable to compel the performance of that which had been agreed to be done. With regard to the other question, the non-payment of throe /. h 300 at the stipulated time, it appeared to him, fm the information which he possessed, on which he was obliged to act, that Mr. Lumley had by the letters already ' read, both of his own and that of Dr. Becher, offered pay ment of it before the time agreed upon. He should, there fore, grant, an injunction against Mdlle. Joanna Wagner , ' reetrainindher from performing at the Royal Italian Opera, and also against Mr. Gye, restraining him from taking ad vantage of her services, giving leave, however, to the de fendants, either to-morrow or any subsequent day, to file affidavits, and to move for its dissolution.

The first th ree p a rts must necessarily be Ist, Romeo, 2d, Fides, I3d, Valentine; these parts once sung, then only she will appear if Mr. Lumley desires it in the three :other operas mentioned aforesaid. 3. These six parts belong exclusively t o Mademoiselle Wagner, and any other c antatrice shall not presume to sing them during the three months of her engagement. If Mr. Lumley happens to be prevented, by any cause what ever, from giving these epees% -he is held, nevertheless, to pay Mademoiselle ' J. Wagner the salary stipulated lower down for the number of the parts, as if she had sung them. 4. In the case where Dla.de.moiselle Wagner shall be pre vented by reason of illness from singing in the course of a month as often as It has been stipulated, Mr. Lumley is bonnd to pay the'ialary only for the parts sung. 5. Made moiselle Joanna Wagner binds herself to sing t w i ce a week during the run of the three months. However, if she herself be hindered from singing twice in any week whatever, she will have the right to give at - a later period the omitted representation. 6.

In all cases, except that when a verified illness would place upon her a hindrance, if Mademoiselle Wagner shall not arrive in Lon don in eight days after that whence dates her engagement, Mr. Lumley will have the right to regard the non-appear ance as a rupture of the contract, and will be able to demand an indemnification. 10.

In November, 1851, Dr. Bacher met the plaintiff in Paris, when the latter objected to the agreement as not containing a usual and necessary clause Preventing Mademoiselle Wagner from exercising her professional abilities in England without the consent of the plaintiff, whereupon Dr.. Bacher, as the agent ot tbe defendants, A. Wagner and his daughter, added an article in writing in the French language, of which the following is a translation :—" Mademoiselle Wagner engages herself not to use her talents at any other theatre, nor in any concert or reunion, public or private, without the written authorization of Mr. Lumley.—Dr. Joseph Bacher, for Mademoiselle Joanna Wagner, and authorized by her." The agreement, together with the supplemental article to it added at Paris, was signed by Mr. Lumley at that place, and they were both adopted and ac quiesced in by M. Wagner and his daughter. The acquies cence of the daughter was shown by a letter from her to Dr. Bacher, written in the German language, and dated from Berlin on the 27th of November last ; that of the father was shown by a letter written by him also to Dr. Bacher, and which was as follows: ---, , . 46,..1)4ar Friend,—Yon would wait long for a letter from Joanna.

He (Mr. Lumley) an swered very politely, and agreed to it; however he would have wished her to be present-for a longer time at the re hearsals of the Prophite, hilt it is impossible, as everywhere this time Joanna has much:work to d o before her journey, and it is merely a shed time ago that she began studying her Italian parts, and she requires _a lOrtnight's rest before un dertaking in lendon anetfier_w o rk, w hi c h w ill requ ire all her energy.

At the period of its date Bacher had in ' his hands 4001., belonging to the plaintiff; apiL.before the plaintiff received the above letter he had warted:with Becher that,he should pay to Joanna Wagner the sum of 30JI, stipulated -by the agreement to be paid to her. .0u the 11th of March lad the 'plaintiff wrote to A. Wagner, at Berlin, a reply to his letter of the 9th of that month, in which ho said that -he 'had paid - the sum of 3001. to BacheLfor Joanna Wagn er , and that he had no doubt that before that letter reached him the - same had been duly paid over. To this letter the plaintiff received no reply. On the 10th instant Mr. Lumley, while at Paris, received a protest, dated the • 6th instant, und er the seal of a.notary public of Hamburgh, repudiating the agreement of the 9th of November, 1851, on the ground that he had not fulfilled the Bth article of it, respecting the payment of the sum of 3001.

Hamilton, the Second Secretary, has left the Admiralty for a short tour in the country. Commodore Martin's squadron will shortly be com plete, and when all the mou have returned from leave, the ships will proceed on an exercising cruise. The committee on accounts, consisting of Messrs. Murray, chief engineer, and Mr. Rice, master ship wrights' assistant of Portsmouth yard, and Mr. Laws, storekeeper of Sheerness yard, has arrived at Chatham for the purpose of examining the accounts kept at that yard. THE NEW STEAM-YARD AT KEYHAM.—We are glad to find that the present Board of Admiralty, convinced of the national importance of these works, have deter mined that they should be actively proceeded with; and it is probable a portion of the proposed establishment will in the course of the present summer be put into effective and profitable operation. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The commission appointing the Rev. E. Parish chaplain and naval instructor to the Blenheim, 60, screw steam guard-ship, has been returned to the Admiralty. Four field pieces have been ordered to be supplied for the use of the dockyard brigade. Commander-in• Chief Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, accompanied by Captain Chads, Captain Martin, and Lieutenant Passey, wont out to Spithead this morning in the Sprightly, to muster and inspect the Encounter steamer, Captain Gordon. The crew were exercised at gunnery practice. Orestes, 14, Commander Hawker, passed yesterday a most satisfactory inspection, after which she discharged her powder and came into harbour and unbent sails. She has this morning commenced returning stores, and will come alongside the jetty to pay dr. Arrogant, 46, screw steam-frigate, Captain Robinson, has her topmast fidded, and has commenced rattling down her rigging. There is a vague report to-day that the ofii,:ers and ship's company of the Superb are to be turned over to the St. Vincent, 110; but we cannot trace it to any au- thority. Hogue, 60 gun ship, Captain Macdougall, at Spii head, was exercising her crew at firing at a target dr morning. It is now certain that the Edinburgh, 60, screw-ship, when she comes out of dock, will be attached during the summer months to the Excellent, Captain Chads, as a tender, and will occasionally proceed to sea, to exercise her officers and mon at gunnery practice while under weigh when the ship has motion, Sm. This will be a most advantageous plan; for so still and motionless is the Excellent, moored head and stern as she is, that it is no more than mere battery practice that the officers and men learn in her. Captain Crispin, of the Royal yacht Victoria and Al bert, has gone on a fortnight's leave. Queen, 116, Captain Wise, flag-ship of Sir William Parker, has not yet made her appearance at Spithead. Vulcan, iron screw steam-ship, Commander Von Donop, is being refitted, and will not be completed be fore the 15th June. Winchester, 50, Captain Loch, C. 8., is now fully manned, and will be ready for sea by the 10th of May. The anniversary meeting of the Portsmouth Sailors' Home was held this afternoon, in Portsmouth. under the presidency of Admiral Sir Francis Austen, Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.G., the Comman der•in-Chief, being prevented by important duty from attending in time to take the chair. The report read showed the Home to be in most flourishing use and pa tronage among those for whose peculiar advantage it was established, and as the num bers of applicants for beds and rations are nightly and daily more by hundreds than the means of the institution can supply, an increase of the establishment is resolved on, which it is hoped the public will enable the directors speedily to carry out. A note received through Lord George Lennox, Lord in Waiting on Prince Albert, announced his Royal Highness's intention of heading a new list of subscribers for the above objeot with a donation of 501.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Pays has the following " communicated note" respecting the ceremony of the 10th of May : To all those who during the last few days have an nounced to us the proclamation of the Empire for the 10th of May, we reply, That cannot be serious; it shows a complete ignorance of the character of Louis Napoleon to admit for a moment such a supposition.' The official note communicated by the Government to the journals, confirms our previsions. Thus, it is a cer tain thing that the Empire will not be proclaimed at the review of the 10th May. To those who have studied as we have done the life and character of the man who is now placed at the head of the French nation, that study shows a very remarkable fact. This Lid is that Louis Napoleon has always professed respect for the national sovereignty. Even when he attacked legal order, he respected it. At Strasburg and at Boulogne, he did no come as a pretender to hereditary right, but as a pretender to election. We have read and reread his proclamations, and we only fi❑d in them a formal, explicit, and absolute recognition of the nation to found its own government. It was therefore from election that Louis Napoleon demanded power; it is from the people he has received it. As pretender, exile, prisoner, candidate for the Republican Presidency, President of the Constitutional Republic, and Chief of a Constituent Government, that principle has been the invariable rule of his conduct. At that solemn hour, when he was paramount, when the Legislative Assembly had just vanished, when the army was with him, and when the rural populations hailed him as their chief,what did he do ? He departed from the Constitution, but he only did so to have recourse to election. Now, the Empire is talked of. Certainly nothing is im possible. The Empire is a dazzling name of the past, which may have its reflection on the page of the future. Thus, as Napoleon one day said to Prince Metternich, Human life is a cycle.' Asto nishment is felt at succeeding events resembling each other ; that is caused by nature eternally resembling itself in the passions and the feelings which are pe culiar to it. The moral world is like the physical world—it incessantly turns on itself. Only at every evolution it makes the circle increases like civiliza tion itself, and like science, every step of which is one in advance. But how can the Empire be made if it is ever done? It is by an acclamation of the people and of the army at a Fite? Will the legions raise a new standard for a new Caner? Are we at Rome at the de cline of a people and of a world? and are we about to see military despotism raise itself on the ruins of the country? No, thank God ! We are France, we aro a nation which has a feeling of its independence and of the rights of its sovereignty, and which can only find in its government the image of its force, and respect for its dignity and for its will. Thus, whatever may arrire, whether we remain a republic, or leave it, national sovereignty will be respected. In no case can military acclamation replace popular election. We were before convinced in our own minds of this, and the official de- claration just made gives to that conviction the charac ter of certainty. We rejoice at it, as a striking homage paid to the fundamental principle of the political right in modern society, of the right on which authority re poses. We think that the whole of France will rejoice with us." We read in the Patric of yesterday evening : ~ " The Univers complains of the privilege which foreign journals, journals, and particularly those of Belgium, appear ac t - have over those of Franco.

The Mediterranean squadron, under the command of Vice-Admiral DE LASSUBSE, has arrived at Toulon, from the islands of the Hy eres. This squadron con sists of the Ville de Paris, 120 guns ; Henry IV., 100; Jena, 80; Jupiter, 8G; and Bayard, 90. The Constitutionnel contains a grave statement with respect to Spain, the substance of which is that not only is the electoral law to be changed, but the Constitution is to be altered in such a manner as to reduce the Cortes to a position resembling rather the French Corps Legislatif than the Belgian or Pied montese Chambers, not to speak of the British Par liament. The same paper rejoices that the triumph gained by the Moderate and Conservative party at Berne puts an end to all apprehension on the score of Swit zerland. The Grand Council have had a majority of 7,000 votes out of the 80,000 polled, so that the pre sent Government remains. This is the first time, since 1830, that the Conservatives have achieved a victory over the Radicals, at Berne, and the fact marks a reaction in the spirit of the country, which will probably save it from occupation by a foreign army. The Debats remarks as follows on the triumph of the Conservatives at Berne : " It is unnecessary for us to enlarge on the importance of such an event. It will have for effect to stop the pro gress of the Radical party, and the development of a system to which the cantons of Argau, Zurich, and Thurgau, as well as the whole of French Switzerland, the Radical tendencies of which, it is well known, were about to rally. The victory of the Conservative .s3o party will have another consequence. Since 1 000_ every time that the people of Berne have been 50 the stilted, their votes have always been contrary to 1 it has established system. This is the first time t ent. „,,.__ declared for the maintenance of its Goverinine_ on __. 1 u . ,,74 i we not conclude from this that a f a vourable _ i b_ ogeo g , ° w 7 o I taken place in the feelings of the PoPul" wit v 1 ,1 ~ ~ i ~..1 have hitherto ha 3 in a great weight en Ow itterreal policy of Switzerland? May we not suppose that tbry begin to be tired of that perpetual agitation which paralyses commerce and industry without any other re sult than the triumph of intrigues and ambitions which are struggling one against the other? However this maybe, be, we pe that the piesent Government, which is cone posed of sensible and enlightened - men; will profit by its - electoral BUCCOSS to consolidate its liberal and conserva tive system, founded on respect for property, and on _ the general welfare of the canton. Never could it have a finer opportunity; it may attain its- object wittrout its being necessary to resort to violence or to arbitrary acts." _ . The strike of the journeymen coachruakers has ter minated. The paternal advice which the Governn'ent authorities had addressed to these workmen having ye mained without effect, orders were given to arrest about 80 of them, and afterwards 30 others were taken into custody. This proof of firmness sufficed to check the spirit which bad manifested itself, and the usual works were resumed. As to the rumours which have prevailed of workmen belonging to other trades having struck, they are, says the .Pairie, quite devoid of foundation. The Corsaire remarks as follows on the division in the Legislative Body on the Coinage Bill : " Paris is at present quite insupportable; nothirg is talked of hut the unfortunate Bill on the re-coinage of our sous. It has been adopted by a majority of 210 to 5. These five rebellious votes are the subject of general conversation; the haLitue:s of the Bourse ipie. themselves, with well grounded uneasiness, whether we are about to return to our deplorable taste for opposition. What, in fact, signifies such a veto? We cannot see the object of it. Two hundred and ten legis. laturs support a Bill, the want of which,is generally felt, and hero are five who exclaim—Elianisi umnc4 eyo non. Every ono seeks for information on the subject; they wish to know who are the flee, and there is no eff.at left untried in order to raise the veil which conceals this mystery. Tho minutes of the sitting are so laconic that they only enlarge the field of conjectures. Every one deeply regrets that the discussions, so full of interest, of the Letis 4 lative Body aro not made known, and the ardent curiosity of the Parisian public shows the value it sets on the cheap aliment of which it is deprived." The Bourse was heavy, without any considerable fall in prices. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 100 f. 90c., and closed at 100 f. 75c. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 71f. 50c.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1, 0 15 f • Rouen, 807 f. 5 0 %; _ Havre, 297 f. 50c.; Great Northern, 626 f. 25c.; Avignon, 275 f.; Vicrzon, 592 f. 50c.; Basle, 252 f. 50c.; Bordeaux, 617 f. 50c.; Paris and Strasburg, 576 f. 25c.; Tours and Nantes, 368 f. 75c.; Paris and Lyons, 616 f. 25c.
