RovAL Socirry or MUSICIANS. —The annual
performance of " The Messiah " for this benefit of this
ancient society, which has taken place ever sines the days
of Handel himself (ono of its founders), was given lost
evening, for the first time, at Exeter Hall. The society
have done well to transfer the performance to • place where
this great work can be executed on the seals of grandeur.
which the present lige requires. Last night the bend and
churns numbered nearly seven hundred performers, under
the able direction of Mr. Costa. There was a host of prin-
cipal singers. The sopranos were Madame Clara No-
' cello and Miss Louisa Ppm ; the contraltos were
Mini M. Williams and Madams F. Lablaehe ; the tenon
were Mr. Lackey, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Benson, and Mr.
Swift ; and the bares ware Mr. H. Phillips, Mr. J. A.
Novella, Herr Formes, end Mr. Lawler. The airs were
very judiciously apportioned to the different performers;
and the execution of the whole work, both in respect to the
choruses, the solo parts, and the orchestral aosonspani-
merits, was excellent. The hall was crowded in every part,
and the concert must have been highly productive to the
society.
ENOLISII GLEE AND MADRIGAL UNION. This
society have resumed their morning performances at Willis's
Rooms. Yesterday their matinle attracted a crowded and
fashionable audience. We have so frequently spoken of
thew concerts, that it is sufficient to say that on this occa-
sion a fine selection of glees and madrigals, from the works
of the greatest English masters, were sung with the
usual precision and effect, and received with the usual
epplause.

Mr. Boupell, who appeared for the lessees, subsequently
stated that he had been informed that an objection was
nude on the part of some of the lessees, and he suggested
that the cue might be mentioned again to-morrow (this
day), to which the court assented.

LUMLRY v. WAGNER.
THu RIVAL 01.211,A 11001121.

During the whole of the day the interest excited by the
proceedings in this court ou Friday, when the injunction
was granted restraining Mdlle. Wagner from ringing at the
Royal Italian Opera House, did not appear to have abated.
The court was visited by many persons apparently expect-
ing that some case of importance was coming on, and at
times the space set apart for the public was inconveniently
crowded.

A few muses, of no general importance, having been die-
posed of,
Mr. Bethell, who had shortly before come into court, ad-
dressed the Vice-Cbancellor, end said he was instructed by

the defendants to move that the injunction which had bec¢
granted on Friday might be dissolved, and ho asked that
tho cause might stand for that purpose first on the list for
to-morrow.

Mr. Bacon said that time would be particularly inconve-
nient, as he was engaged in the Court of the Lords Justices
on several matters of importance.
The Vice•Chaneellor said he was afraid that tho nature
of the cue being to dissolve an injunction, entitled the de-
(andante to make the present request. He must therefore
fie the time as asked.
Mr. Bacon said he understood that the affidavits were
filed. His client had been watching the office up to a late
hour, and no affidavits were then filed ; but he understood
that Mr. Bethell bad a brief of the affidavits before him.
The plaintiff's affidavits were communicated early on Fri-
.

day to the defendiab, and he must ask that the defend-
ants' affidavit/might be furnished to the'plaintiff forthwith.

The Via-Chancellor said that this wasi • reasonable re-
quest.
Mr. Betbeil they promised that they should be banded
over this evening.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YstazaDAT.
zisota M.. Oarrisranta 301/9111.
IN 11 Allllll.. -

This was the certificate meeting in the case of John
Amery, hotel keeper, of Chelmsford. He owed to mum
cured creditors, 2751.; the liabiaties were about 1,8001.;
wets, 3801.
Mr. Linklater said the amigo'', did not oppose, but
thought it necessary to call the attention of the court to the
peculiar circumstances of the ease. Prior to 1845, the
bankrupt had been house steward to the Bishop of London.
In that year he received a letter from Mr. Alexander Hal-
dare, the uncle of Mr. Hardeastle, the liberal member for
Colchester, in the following terms:
tt Dear Mr. Amery,—l once oinked you a question when
you were in want of an occupation. I hope and believe you
are uow so comfortable ar not to want any change. Still
you might have a friend with some capital, to whom an inn
on the 'Essex road might be an object. I happen to know
that the well known Black Boy, of Chelmsford, i.e., the
first inn in the town, is to be let, or will be shortly. My
nephew, Mr. Hardcastle, in the proprietor who has it to
dispose of; and as I had some time ago mentioned you to
him, he told me the other day of this, adding that it was
the best thing that had 'come in his way. Should it be
worth your while to make any inquiries about it, I can
procure all particulars, or you might call on Mr. Hard-
castle at the Reform Club, who his promised to see you
and give you any information
,iou might desire.—Tours
truly, ALZIANDIS H•LDARC.
Mr. Amery thereupon made inquiries, and finding it not
desirable to take the hotel on his own responsibility, he
wrote to that effect. Eventually, however, he consented to
manage it for Mr. Hardeastle, at a salary of 2001. a year.
For certain reasons it was thought desirable that the bank-
rupt should not appear to be meting as the agent of Mr.
llardcastle, but that the business should be carried on in
his own name. Mr. Hartle:ode was the liberal member
for Colchester ; the Black Boy was the conservative house
at Chelmsford; and it was necessary that the conservative
inn should not appear to he carried on by a gentleman who
was a member of the Itr form Club—Ca laugh)—but by one
who could hoist the blue flog.
It win therefore arranged that Mr. Amery should carry on
the inn in his own name, and continue to hoist the blue
ling. lie entered on the house on the 22nd of January,

that he bed been in the employ of the Bishop of London ;

business went on regularly till November, 1847, Mr. Amery

---
The sittings of this court for the April adjourned general
session were resumed this morning, at the Guildhall, West-
minster, before Mr Serjeant Adams, assistant judge, Mr.
Witham, Captain Hensler, Mr. Warner, Mr. D. J. Thomp-
son, and other magistrates. There are 47 prisoners for trial
—viz., 44 on charges of felony, and 3 for misdemeanor.
RO XXXXX AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

Joseph Swan, 21, a young man of respectable appearance,
was indicted for having stolen a piece of Californian gi Id.
value 4W., the property of Sir henry Ellis and others,
trustees of the British Museum.

Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, and from a
short statement he gave of the facts it appeared that, on
the evening of the 21st inst., one of the messengers of the
Museum had locked up the greater part of the moms after
the visitors were gone, and, from information he received,
he went to the Mineral tiallery, where he found the pri-
soner in the apartment alone, and, in explanation of being
there, he said that he had been accidentally locked in. The
messenger, not feeling satisfied with this statement, took
him before Bir Henry Ellis, and afterwards to Mr. Water-
how*, the keeper of the mineral department, who desired
him to turn out his pockets, which he did to a certain ex-
tent, bat, not being satisfied, he searched his waistcoat
pocket, and from which the lump of gold he now produced
was taken. It was known immediately to be the property
of the Museum ; and, on going to the glue case in which it
bad been kept, it was found that a square of glass had been
broken, and the piece of gold stolen trom it.
The prisoner pleaded guilty to the indictment, but wished
to call witnesses to speak to his character.
Mr. Thomas said he was • wholesale hosier and haber-
dasher, and had known the prisoner for twelve years. He
was in his service for four years eight years ago, during
which time he had intrusted him with a good deal of
money, and had always found him very honest in his
traniactiona.

Another witness said he had known the prisoner as a
draper's assistant, but since last October he had been out of
employment lie bad formerly been in the service of
Silver and Cu., of Cornhill, and left in consequence of a
difference between them.

The learned Judge a lobed to know the mum of his leaving
so respectable a firm so that of Silver sad 00.
A police officer said that inquiries had bow fed@ at Silver
and Co.'., and it appcared that the primer hd been dia-

The learned Judge said that this was a very serious
offence but he did not think that it was one likely to be
repeated, as .be suitors to the British Museum were gene.
I rally too well watched. At the same time, it was not an
1 offense to be lot off with a punishmentof one or two months,
and therefore the sentence of the court was, that he be im-
prisoned and kept to hard labour for ais calendar months.

THE POLICE COURTS.
_ MANSION-HOUSE._ _

Allan Forsyth, a fellow who pretended to be a Scotch-
man, and whose teal name is believed to be Patrick Mur-
phy, was brought before the Lord Mayor and Sir Robert
Carden for final examination, charged with having cow.
witted a begging imposture. The prisoner was clothed in
the dries of a member of the Royal Rifle brigade with the
great coat of a naval officer, and he had a naval cap in his
pocket, while he wore a military head piece.
The evidence stated the following facts :—The prisoner
had been seen by a policeman, who had observed him be-
fore sneaking about the neighbourhood, to walk into the
Steam Navigation Office in Leadenhall•street, where it wee
ascertained he had no business. It was supposed that his
object was to beg or to steal, and he was apprehended and
conveyed, together with a woman to whom he had
been speaking, to the statioa-house. In the possession of
the woman was found a paper professing to be the die.
charge from the Riflo Brigade of a man, the description of
whom exactly suited the appearance of the prisoner. That
paper bad been ascertained to be a forgery. The officer,
upon farther inquiry, had learned that the prisoner had
galled upon a merchant in the City, and upon the repre-
sentation that he was in great distress as a military struggler
with a wife and two small children, obtained money to en-
able him to return to his native land from that benevolent

Raeford, the officer of the Mendieity Society, said he
had long known the prisoner as the associate of some of the
most notorious begging impostors in London, and believed
the prisoner had been convicted as a person of that cha-
racter.

The prisoner said he was neither a military man nor a
naval men, and that he never pretended to other than he
really was, a street dancer and tumbler.
Sir Robert Carden—How can you account for the dif-
ferent appearances which you assume by means of your
dress

The prisoner—They are old clothe* which I have got to-
gether as well as I could. It's all wrong to say I am an
impostor.
The policeman—When he went to inquire for the merchant
from whom he afterwards got the money, he mentioned
that he was desirous to sea the gentleman on important
minter, business, and upon being told that the gentleman
had nothing to do with military matters, be said, Oh it's all
the same, the business relates to either of the services.
(laughter.)
Sir Robert Carden—The prisoner was certainly prepared
to act in either of the characters, and said he had wounds
to show which be had received in India.
The prisoner said there must be a mistake somewhere,
for he certainly had neither been in the army or the navy,
and to the best of his knowledge he had never been in
India. (Laughter)
The Lord Mayor said, that although some of the most
crafty impostors had been brought before him of late years,
he had nevermeu one who appeared to take upon himself the
character with so much ease to himself, and so complete •
determination to tarry it out to the littlest extent.
The prisoner—l hope, my lord, you will consider my
real situation. Ido nothing in the world, from morning
till tcht, but dance and tumble in the streets—from morn-
ing

then told the prisoner that ho would
eat dame in the streets during the summer months ; and
senannoed him to be imprisoned to hard labour, in Bride-
well, for three calendar months.
