Among the most reprehensible proceedings of the Radicals of Switzerland, the violation of the famous hospital of Mount St. Bernard will prove the one by which they have most materially weakened their cause and damaged their reputation. It will not merely intensify and concentrate the animosities Of the Ultramontanists, it will associate with the triumph of the principles of Liberality the com mission of one of those cardinal crimes which cry out alike to heaven and to humanity for vengeance. The recollection of this atrocious act can never he obliterated. It must for ever and for ever excite the vernment, accompanied by 30 soldiers with fixed, bayonets. " They regard this ;,evasion— "lst. As a violar,en of an abode tsnd an asylum open to all travelV ers . "2d. As a scsrious insult to their religious and civil character. " 3 d. As ar, unjust and illegal seizure of an estab lishment wl-, 0 11 3 , for 850 ye - 11.s constantly protected and supported by devoted to the objects of beneficence benefacte tons, b y Jrs Of all nations, by most of the Swiss can ancient and modern princes, who have all contributed to maintain the general hospitality of this hou-Be—of an establishment which Napoleon himself re s p e cted notwithstanding the laws of the Empire. " They protest in like manner against the inventory which these commissaries hare taken of the property, moveable and immoveable, of the Hospice ; they regard this action as a check upon the exercise of that com plete and free hospitality they have always exercised, and upon the contributions of the charitable. They regard the violent manner in which this inventory was taken as an act of persecution which nothing can jus tify or excuse. They regard it as a step towards the inhuman and anti-social suppression of their establish ment, and they therefore formally demand that the troops which occupy it be withdrawn, and that the monastery be restored to its true destination and to the exercise of the duties of religion and hospitality. This protest shall be handed over to the commander of the picket of occupation, to be by him transmitted to the proper authorities?' - (Signed by the Prior and 13 Monks of the Hospice of St. Bernard.) Yes, it is recorded by historians of all parties and of all religious opinions, by the disingenuous pen of BOURRIENNE and the veracious voice of IRELAND, by the Protestant HAZLITT and the Freethinking SA VARY, by the enthusiasm of TRIERS and the im partiality of THIBAUDEA Ll—it is narrated by every one of these writers, whether military or political, foreign or domestic, that when the republican forces of the Consulate were traversing the Alps, under the command of BONAPARTE, the monks of Mount Saint Bernard were not only preserved from destruction, and the sanctity of their edifice was not only respected by the revolutionary armament, but gratuities were be stowed upon the institution by the munificent man date of the First Consul, and the shrine of benevo lence was honoured by the most magnanimous of conquerors. How different the course adopted by the Council of the Helvetic Confederation ! Instead of emulat ing this example of generosity, it has covered itself with the ignominy of an unparalleled turpitude. It has acted in defiance of all the noblest dictates of humanity, and has set at nought all the more bene ficent injunctions of religion. The description which has been latterly circulated throughout the European principalities by one who has recently witnessed the unwonted desolation of Saint Bernard, the account furnished by him of the deserted condition of the monastery, of the disappearance of the monks, and even the departure of the noble dogs by which they are invariably accompanied, will prove immeasurably more injurious to the influence of the Radicals of Switzerland than any other cruelties, however unnecessary, or than any other confiscation, however unjustifiable. For the destruction of an institution so worthy of the veneration of Christendom cannot but excite sentiments of indignation in every bosom capable of emotions of a refined and benignant cha racter. People recognize in the inmates of this most celebrated monastery the representatives of that charity which is more peculiarly inculcated by Christianity. They see in men who devote them selves so entirely to the cause of benevolence, who debar themselves from the comforts of civilised life, who reside amidst perpetual snows, at an elevation of more than ten thousand feet above the level of the sea, and who submit to continual and indescribable privations for the purpose of affording gratuitous succour to their fellow-creatures, and of rescu ing from destruction travellers of every creed and race—they behold in the monks of the Hospice of Mount Saint Bernard the champions of the forsaken, and the lovers of that Divine command ment, Love ye one another ! Political intrigues have never been aided by this brotherhood; proselytism is apart from their aspirations ; they have fought the good fight of humanity for 850 winters, and their efforts ought to have been regarded as a sufficient reason for their being considered as neutral. The memory of this infliction can never be effaced by the 'Landsgemeinde of the Valois; all that they can ac complish towards reconciling themselves with the population of Europe is in some manner to make an adequate reparation to the monlra by rpetoring peace and security to the monastery. brcler to prevent or to frustrate landlords in the execu tion of their legal rights and remedies. But we should take a very limited view of this frightful calamity if we considered these outrages as exclu sively confined to interference with the rights and remedies of landed proprietors. In truth, a spirit of wickedness once let loose has no bounds, and acknow. ledges no distinction. The peace and property of all individuals of all classes are indiscriminately assailed and plundered." This is indeed the truth. It is owing to the deranged condition of the relations be tween landlord and tenant that miscreants have banded themselves together in opposition to the law of the land. Were it not that they are looked upon to a cell:11in extent as the protectors of the poorer classes of the peasantry, and that a degree of sympathy is thereby excited in their behalf, there would be a general anxiety witnessed throughout the country for the vindication of the law and the punishment of its violators. Deprive them of that prestige, and you inflict a death-blow on the principle that has hitherto sustained them, and which has led to the demoralization of large bodies of the people. For the future, let the many be taught that the law of the land will be their best protection, and that its skield is as fully extended over the poorest and humblest citizen as over the ealthiest and most exalted. Let their interests be regarded, and an equitable adjustment of their claims take place, and do not permit them to be turned out without remuneration, or without shelter, at the mere caprice of their land lords, so long as they are willing to discharge the fair obligations of their tenantry. By these means, and by these alone, you will disband the confedera cies that have heretofore been formed. So long as they are in existence every description of crime and outrage will be rife throughout the land. There will always be found persons steeped in guilt, who, de nounced for the crimes they have already committed, and habituated to the shedding of blood, are willing to undertake any fresh outrage, and become the ready instruments of vengeance to any who fancy that they may have cause of complaint. It is the interest of such persons not to tolerate the existence of tranquil lity. It is an uncongenial atmosphere in which they can not long exist. A peaceful locality is destructive of their craft, and if the reign of terror is abridged, the im munity they have hitherto found will speedily fail, and they will be surrendered to the ministers of justice, to answer for their aggravated offences. The prompt and vigorous administration of justice —the admirable manner in which the law officers of the Crow n have got up the several cases, and the body of evidence they have brought to bear thereon—the noble, constitutional, and conscientious manner in which the Limerick juries have discharged the duty they owed to their country, and which so justly merited the eulogium pronounced upon it by the Lord Chief Justice, will strike terror into the law breakers. Let that be followed by enlarged and comprehensive measures of relief, and the great object will be attained, and tranquillised Ireland will have cause to bless the happy results of the Viceroyalty of the Earl of CLARENDON. The proceedings under the Special Commission at Limerick have been suspended for a short time ; they have not, however, been terminated, as the Learned Judges have announced their intention to resume their sittings on their return from Ennis, where the Commission was to have been opened yesterday. The results of the trials which have already taken place may be readily summed up. There have been three capital convictions, namely, WILLIAM RYAN (Puce), ANDREW DEA, and JOHN RENEHAN, all of whom were guilty of murders of the most aggravated description. In addition, there have been about twenty persons doomed to various terms of transportation, and the effect of the example has been greatly in creased by the immediate removal of the several convicts from the dock where they were sentenced to the vehicles by which they were to be transmitted to the depots for their reception. This prompt and speedy execution of the penalty will have the most beneficial results. Nearly an equal number of per sons (18) have been condemned to imprisonment with hard labour for long periods, varying from nine months to two years. We have already alluded to the circumstances of the frightful crime committed by RYAN. It is said that this unhappy man, though young in years, has been deeply stained in guilt—that he has been guilty of no less than nine murders, and that had he even been acquitted in Limerick, he would have pleaded guilty in Clare, so that he could not, under any circumstances, have escaped the extreme penalty of the law. It is also kid, that ever since the just judgment by which his hours have been numbered, he has expressed his regret at not having been enabled to evade his pur suers for even another week, in order that he might shed the blood of his employer, who had de frauded him of a portion of the promised wages of his dreadful crime. Those who are to suffer with him:, are both very young men ; one, ANDREW DEA, barely nineteen years of age, and the other, JOHN RENEHAN, but little more. The offence of the former was owing to the great fountain and origin of Irish crime—the possession of land. His father had been ejected from his holding for nonpayment of rent; another party, named NOONAN, having taken the vacant premises, he was, in accordance with the provisions of the agrarian code, deemed worthy of death, and the sons of the ejected tenant, the unfortunate pri soner, and an elder brother, were selected to carry the sentence into execution. No time was lost, for in ten days after the intended victim had entered into the occupancy of the lands an attempt was made upon his life, at three o'clock in the afternoon of a bright summer's day; and, although it failed as far as he was concerned, a person who happened , to be in his company met his death from the assas sin's ball. It appears that the number of killed during the disturbances at Milan on the 3d was very great. The people fought hand to hand with the troops. The Podesta Casati has protested against the conduct of the soldiery, and two of the councillors of the Go vernment have resigned their offices. Tranquillity was restored on the sth, but the streets of Milan are covered with pieces of paper, on which are written, " Courage, brothers—a turbulent zeal will be fatal to us. Take care not to be led away by the provoca tions of the police. Let us know how to restrain ourselves ; it is a proof of strength. For the present, tranquillity and dignity!" On the sth of January the inhabitants of Milan came to a resolution to taboo the lottery, as they hare already done tobacco. Every person who purchases a lottery ticket will be treated as an outcast from society. The Risorgintento of Turin of the 7th publishes two documents from Milan, relating to the distur bances that took place there ; one from the Viceroy, dated the sth, recommending the people to await peaceably the reforms which, he confidently hopes, will be granted. The other, dated the 4th, is from the municipal congregation of Milan, and contains the same exhortations. Madrid papers of the 6th announce that Queen CHRISTINA held a grand levee on that day. The debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the impeach ment of SALAMANCA was continued, and Senor Bs- NAvisEs warmly defended the conduct of his late colleague the ex-Minister. The debate was brought to a close for the day by a very animated scene. In the course of the discus sion PIDAL declared that SALAMANCA could not be considered free from suspicion until he should have undergone a solemn trial. This called up SALA MANCA, who declared the statement to be a calumny, and added, " I demand a solemn judgment, in order that I may go the gallows if I merit it, or that Senor PIDAL may be declared a calumniator !" On this a scene of indescribable confusion ensued, numbers of Deputies talking and gesticulating ♦iolently, and other shouting " Order ! order! Senor SALAMANCA was proceeding when he suddenly exclaimed, " I cannot continue, gentlemen !" and fell back on his seat. (He has for some time back, it should be ob served, been labouring under severe indisposition.) Senor SALAMANCA was borne from the Chamber in the arms of his friends, all of whom appeared greatly agitated, and many of whom cried, " It is an in famy ! It is a calumny !" The Chamber deter mined that the debate should be adjourned till Friday. We hare received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Journal des Dibals says the KING has received from her Majesty Queen VICTORIA a most affec tionate letter of condolence on the death of Madame ADELAIDE. Her Majesty Queen Vicroat.B. has also written a letter of condolence to her uncle the King of the BELGIANS. The discussion on the Address was continued on Tuesday in the Chamber of Peers. Towards the con clusion it became very animated. M. Guizox, in repudiating the charges of corruption brought against his Ministry by the Marquis DE BOISSY, who alluded to the cases of M. WARNERY and M. PETIT, declared that these corrupt practices had not originated with his Ministry. They had been tolerated by other Ministries—they had been tolerated by the present Ministry at its commencement—but they were so no longer. This declaration brought up Count MOLE, who declared that no impu tation could be east upon his Ministry on the score of corruption. M. BARTIIE, M. Rissr, and Count D ' ARGOUT—indeed every Member of any former Ministry who chanced to be in the Chamber equally repudiated the charges of M. Guisor. The fifth paragraph of the :Address was at last adopted. On the sixth paragraph being proposed, MM. TASCIIER and C. Durres proposed the following amendment, which was supported by the Count DE MONTALEMEMIT abhorrence of posterity. What, indeed, will the Helvetic historian have to narrate as among the more memorable consummations of the late victory ? li e will have to describe that infamous decree of the 24 of December, by which the Landsge meinde 4 f the Valais deprived the monastery of its ecclesiastical patronage and inflicted upon its inmates a fine of 5,0001. or 80,000 Swiss francs. lie will depict the arrival of the two Federal Commissaries, AIM. FREY and DELARAGEAZ, on the 18th of December, to compile an inventory of the furniture and property, of the establishment, with a view to its final approp r i ation for the liquidation of its debts to the Srpreme Government. He will re cord the brutalities perpetrated under the surveillance of those officials, the bursting Open of door s b y crow bars, and the openingofclosetsand strongb oxes b y the instrument s of the locksmith, the quartering of forty Vaudois soldiers sacred as a garriso n to the building, and the d is tribution of sentin e l s with loaded muskets at the window s, for the p ur p ose of firing at whomsoever should endeavour to escape with the con secrated vessels, or with any other of the valuables of that sublime institution. Never were the sympathies of the whole civilized world so wilfully and flagrantly • iolated ; never were the interests of society so mon strously abused for the sake of a contemptible reta liation, as in the infliction of these extreme penalties upon the heroic brethren of St. Bernard. By the inde cent rigour of the Confederation, ruin has been suddenly brought upon an association which, for nearly nine centuries, has existed among the alpine solitudes of the Valais, affording warmth and nouri,4ment to the travellers from all nations, and shining forth to the whole of Christendom the Beacon of a divine and universal charity. There is something so remarkable, both in an historical sense, and as the close of an acted roman in the infamous b e h av i our of the Valais towards this ce, illustrious order of ecclesiastics, that we willingly give, in extenso, their emphatic and dignified protest against the violation of their renowned institution : " The undersigned, regular canons of the Hospice of St. Bernard, in chapter assembled, solemnly pro test, in the face of Europe, against the occupation of their monastery by certain commissaries of the Go- The third murder was, if possible, more incompre hensible than either of the others. A trifling dispute had occurred between the families of a small farmer named APENtar and of the prisoner, which had been i‘avestigated at petty ses s i ons . O n th e f o ll owing Sabbath night a nu merous party attacked the house of the for mer, Whi c h , open, after a short resistance, they broke a nd and, havin g fi rst ro bb ed the dwelling of a gun some money, they dragged the unfortunate owner from his lid' 1 ing-place, and brutally murdered him in his own yard, he having received two gun shot wounds, his skull h av i ng been fractured i n two places, and his back b roken. Such are the sickening details pro that have b een proved on the clearest and most convincing testi mony,/ before the judges at Limerick , alth ough there had been nothing relating to the occupation of land in R N EliA and it was but an ac t o f vengeance arising EfromN 's private c a ase not very remotely, to the same cause. A 3 the Lord Chief Justice remarked, in the able and impressive address to the grand jury, with which he opened the proceedings of the Commission, "The prin cipal objects of the combination and the il legal confederacy is the destruction of the rights of landlords, for violence and intimidation are resorted to, and even murder itself perpetrated, in ' " Christian nations contemplate with admiration the courageous initiative of the Holy Father, and the happy assistance given to him by the most enlightened Sovereigns, to open to the people of Italy a new era of civilisation, of wise liberty, and of collective power. Italian independence, necessary for the equilibrium of Europe, will rest on the success of that great ex periment, which is the subject of all our good wishes and our hopes." The Count DE S r. AULAIRE, at the conclusion of the address of the Count DE MONTALEMBERT, moved the adjournment of the debate to the following day, which was agreed to. The debate was resumed on Wednesday by the Count ST. AVLAIRE, who warmly defended the policy of the Government. He was followed by M. GUIZOT, who protested against the remarks that had been made about holy alliances and armed intervention. He regarded those ideas as phantoms, which it was sought to assemble round the Cabinet, and congratu lated himself on living in a constitutional and free country. In this country, he said, as in every other, it was necessary to adopt a free policy, and to be at liberty to select those alliances which were most con formable to the interests of the nation. The Go vernment of J u l y h ad conquered that liberty by the sweat o its which brows. heT h h a a t d lib th e e rty o h n e ou cl r taimo represent, edforth the Government ,and he hoped it w ou ld h render it a greater servico than , THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY. 18,_ 1845. the bastard policy which it was sought to fasten on it. The Hon. Minister was left addressing the Chamber at post hour. It is said that the Minister has determined to break faith with ABD-Ef KADER, and that the Emia has been officially informed that he cannot be permitted to go to St. Jean d'Acre, and that his transference to Egypt must depend upon the willingness of the PACIIA to receive him. Under these circumstances we expect every day to hear that both the Duke D'AumALE and General LAMORICIERE have resigned their commands and retired to France ; as men of honour there is no other course open to them. It is said that the Government has received a very unfavourable account of the health of the Queen of SPAIN. In the bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies, on Tuesday, the Budget for 1848 was brought under discussion. The credits for 1848 amount to 17,082,1861. ; 13,289,036 f. of which are for the Three per Cent. Rentes, which are to be issued in 1848, in consequence of the last loan. A special credit of 527,240 f. is to be applied to the payment of the six months' interest due on the Greek loan the Ist Sep tember, 1847. This new advance makes the total sum advanced on the Greek loan up to the present 7,488,567 f. The Constitutionnel affirms that overtures made to the Germanic Confederation for an intervention in Switzerland met so unfavourable a reception, on account of the excitement that would follow through out Germany, that the idea has had to be aban doned.

A Parliamentary paper just published gives an ac count of last year's proceedings in connexion with emi gration, and the following is an extract of a letter, written in December, by Messrs. Stewarts and Kincaid, of Dublin, to Lord Palmerston:— " We hare had the honour of receiving your Lord ship's letter of the 7th instant, enclosing copy of report from M. H. Perley, Esq., emigration officer, St. John's, to the Honourable S. Saunders, provincial secretary, relative to the ship jEolus, from Sligo, with 428 pas sengers; also extract from a dispatch to Earl Grey from Sir William Colebrooke. These passengers having bees tenants and cottiers on your Lordship's estate in the county of Sligo, and shipped by us at your Lord ship's expense, we are very sorry to find that the authorities in St. John's complain of their poverty and destitution, and of the late season at which they arrived. It is our duty to state, for your Lordship's information, that it was at the special and urgent request of the parties themselves that these people were allowed to emigrate, and their passages, &c., paid for ,by your Lordship. " Nut only was there no compulsion used ; no steps taken to deprive them of their holdings on the estate ; no attempt at enforcing payment of their rents, which might have been supposed as the principal cause of their expatriating themselves ; but most of them had been receiving rations at the public depots of fool under the Relief Act of last session, and might have been still tenants on the estate if they had wished, but their entreaties to be sent to America were so urgent, that we have seen some of them on their knees on the roads praying to be sent out, and it was impossible to resist the earnestness of their entreaties. " They were generally very poor, but in no other sense can we admit them to have been helpless, or infirm, or destitute. About oee-half, or, perhaps, a larger pro portion, consisted of entire families, and some of the parents or heads of the families may have been at:- vauced in years ; but in all such cases they were accom panied by young and able-bodied members of the family, who were both able and willing to earn a livelihood for themselves, and to support the weaker members of their families."

The rivers were more firmly frozen than ever, and the steamer from London expected at Scheveningen had to proceed to liellevoetsluis. From Frankfort we are advised of the stoppage of J. Fusel for about 400,000 florins. The advices received here from Italy are not satis factory, but the German papers, probably under orders, express the belief that Austria will not take any violent measures with Italy, and that the Cabinets of Berlin and St. James's hays the best understanding, not only as to Swiss, but also upon general affairs.

' INA .7 _ EXPECTED DISTURBANCES IN ITALY. (Taken from the Journal de r Ain, of Jan. 7, 1848.) It is announced that the entry of the Austrian troops into Modena and the Duchy of Parma has created a great degree of exasperation amongst the Italian populations. There have been some risings at Livourne and Florence, and the Government, not being sufficiently strong to constrain this movement, has been obliged to deliver up the arms which were in the arsenals. Serious events are, therefore, momentarily expected to take place in Italy, and attract the attentive consi deration of the great Powers, principally concerning the Duchy of Parma, which, by the death of Maria Louisa, puts forward all the rights of the family of Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, and Gunstalla, of whom there exist descendants who have retired to England. The London papers, and amongst others The Sun, have already published from the Alba of Florence, the reclamations of Prince Alexander de Gonzaga Mantua, and have declared his rights to be well founded and acknowledged by the Duchy of Mantua, as possessions of his ancestors. According to the Italian journal, the restoration of this Prince, who served in the armies of the empire, and adheres frankly to the reforms inaugurated by Pius IX., would be a great blessing to the populations of Parma, Placentia, &c. They would then progress more wisely and more expeditiously towards the policy of Pius IX., which is the policy most suited to the Italian States, than towards that of Austria, whose weight is difnoult to bear. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. An English version of Linda di Chamouni was produced here last evening, for the purpose of intro ducing three new aspirants for the public favour, in the persons of Mrs. J. Lea, Mr. J. Lea , and Mr. Gregg. Mrs. J. Lea, who sustained the part of Linda, has been, we believe, for some time past, favouralby known to concert-goers as Miss Hobbs. Her voice is a pure soprano, rather thin in quality and somewhat deficient in power, but very flexible, cultivated up to. the very highest pitch of ex cellence, and with an intonation absolutely faultless. She was last night evidently labouring under great nervousness, which somewhat marred her histrionic efforts, but never once did she sing out of tune. Her figure is good though slight, and her features pretty and expressive. Mr. J. Lea possesses a good baritone voice, which has been well cultivated, and Mr. Gregg has a good bass voice, but was so nervous that he scarcely did himself justice. All the debutante are evidently unused to the stage, and would do well to take some lesions in acting. M. Santiago made his second appearance in the character of Carlo, and sang and acted with great tenderness and feeling. Weiss as the ' Marquis was very good, but the great hit of the evening was the Pierotto of Miss Miran. Fier fine, rich contralto tones told most effectively. The house WAS very well and fashionably attended. There were present his Highness the Conde de Montemolin, and the gentlemen of his suite, the Earl of Cardigan, the Viscount Clifden, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord and Lady Sandwich, Lady Suffield, Lady Charle. mont and party, Lady Brougham, with Mr. R. and Mrs. Eden and party, Lady Tankerville, Lord Alex ander Gordon Lennox, Lord Henry Lennox, Miss Burdett Coutts and party, Sir John and Lady Har rington, Sir IV. Ross; Sir Thomas Horne, Sir F, Thesiger, Sir Randulph Routh, Right lion. T. B. Macaulay, Right Hon. Fox Maule, &c. PRINCESS'S • THEATRE. The great test of a true dramatic artiste is Shak spere. Many an actor or actress who has acquired a fair portion of fame in the ordinary, run of charac ters, fails in the attempt to embody the creations of Shakspere, whereas, on the contrary, the artist who can act Shakspere can act anything else with ease and success. Mrs. Mowatt was last night tried by the Shaksperian test, and was not found wanting; she is an artiste there is no mistake about it. She has the ring of the gen'Ane metal—she can act Shakespere. The play was MuohJ!4 o about Nothing, and Mrs.. Mowatt sustained the part of I.),eatrice. She loolacharmingly, and thoroughly entered into the spirit of her part. Nothing could exceed the 1 ;2 . 7 fu! espisigleirie with which she bantered Benediek, anti the thorough gusto with which she gave the re partees; her ringing, tinkling, laugh, too, was fascinating exceedingly—it was the laugh of genuine enjoyment. In the more serious scenes, too, although perhaps she exhibited here and there a tendency to over-acting, which appears to be the great fault of the American school of tragedy, she was very fine. " One touch of feeling makes the ; whole world kin ;" and who that witnessed her ist.ignant denunciations of the wrongers of Hero did not feel the truth of the line P The forte of Mrs. Mowatt is evidently high comedy. Her Beatrice is a proof of it : her suc cess was complete. She was well supported by Mr. Davenport, whose •Benediek, albeit perhaps scarcely sufficiently rollicking in the earlier scenes, was a well-studied gentlemanly line of acting. Compton's Dogberry was glorious, and Miss Susan Cushman's Here very interesting. The house was very well attended. EXETER HALL. A selection from the works of Mendelssohn, con sisting of the 95th Psalm—the solo part sustained by Mr. Lockey, Miss Stewart, and Miss Gill ; Songs with out Words (accompanied on the pianoforte by Mr. W. Sterndale Bennett), the',vocal portions of the singing by Miss Duval, Miss Stewart, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. H. Phillips ; and the First Walpurge s Night, for con tralto, tenor, and bass soli, and grand orchestra (sus tained by the same artists), was performed here last evening. At the conclusion of the Songs without Words, Mr. H. Phillips gave the grand scena " On Lena's gloomy heath," which wrs composed expressly for him, with immense power and energy. .Never have we before seen Henry Phillips so great. The choruses were furnished by the pupils of Mr. Hullah's upper singing school. The manner in which they performed the exceedingly difficult music allotted to them reflects the greatest credit on the teaching of Mr. Hullah. A statue is about to be erected at Hull in honour of that upright patriot and able man, Andrew Marvel, who represented that town in Parliament during the liga cf Chfnies IL ASSETS.

CUMMING. _ _ - Mr. COCKBURN moved fora rule to show cause why certain deeds in the hands of the Master should not be delivered up to Mrs. Cumming, whose case had been several times before the public in connexion with the case of Cumming v. Hicks. A commis sion of lunacy was issued against Mrs. Cumming, but after considerable proceedings had taken place an arrangement was come to between Mrs. Cumming and those by whom it had been issued. After that arrangement certain deeds were handed over to Messrs. Hicks and Cooper. Subsequently Mrs. Cum ming became dissatisfied with.the arrangement, having been advised that it was illegal, and the attorneys at her request furnished with a list of the deeds; but two were omitted, which were subsequently handed over to the Master.—Rule granted. WATSON V. LORD CHARLEMONT, LORD CLAUDi HAMILTON, SIR WILLIAM YOUNG, AND OTHERS. This was an action to recover from the defendants, the managing committee of the Newry, Enniskillen, and Armagh Railway, the amount of deposit paid by the plaintiff on several shares which had been allotted to him in the line. He contended that he had been induced to do so through a prospectus published in the newspapers, which was untrue, and that, there fore, having been induced to become a shareholder by statements inconsistent with truth, he was entitled to a return of the amount claimed. The jury gave him a verdict. Mr. CHAMBERS, Q.C., now moved for a rule, calling upon the plaintiff to show why there should not be a new trial on the ground of the verdict being inconsistent with the facts, and on account of misdirection by the Learned Judge who tried thit case. The Learned Counsel contended that the di' rectors of a company being nominated by the share holders, and empowered by them to spend their money as they might deem advisable a shareholder could not recover all he had paid unless it had been obtained from him through fraud, which he held was not so in this case. The misdirection consisted in the Learned Judge not laying down this as the law to the jury; and tie evidence, he contended further, did not prove that all the defendants had taken an active part in the undertaking. The COURT granted a rule en the ground of alleged misdirection, but not with respect to the verdict being against evidence, the facts, they considered, having been proved.—Application granted.

' The plaintiff in this action is a cheesemonger ; the defendant is a major in the Royal Horse Guards. The action was brought to recover compensation for injuries sustained by plaintiff's wife in consequence ,ot being thrown out of a gig by the negligence and in3proper conduct of the defendant. Mr. THOMAS stated the case, from which it ap peared that on the 29th of June last, plaintiff, who resides In Marchmont-street, Westminster, was pass ing over Vauxhall-bridge with his wife in a gig, when they were overtaken by defendant in another vehicle, driven at the rate of about twelve miles an hour in order to arrive at the South-Western Railway in time for the train. Just as they were passing the toll gate on the Surrey side a collision took place by which plaintiff and his wife were thrown out. An action had been brought to recover da mages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff, bet the jury were directed by the Learned Undersherir that they would not, under that action, take into consideration the injuries sustained by the wife. These, the Learned Counsel said, were of a much more serious character than those sustained by the plaintiff, and as the defendant had suffered judgment to go by default, he admitted his liability. Consi dering the nature of the injuries, Mr. Smith having been laid up for thirteen weeks, from a severe wound on the forehead, the loss of six teeth, a dislocation of both her wrists, and other injuries, he had no doubt th e jury would give a verdict for the full amount c h l ioied, 3001., without reference to the damages (80/.) given on the former trial. Mr. EDWIN JAMES said he would take the evidence as to the .I.ccident as it stood on the sheriff's notes previous trial. preferred having the evidence given, taken mr. at THOMAS the' and the toll-collesrlor was called, who proved the facts as stated as to the collision. Mr. Harrison, a surgeon, was called, and proved the nature of the injuries. He considered that she would never be in perfect health again. Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for the defendant, and the jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict for 301.
