of Italy, have entered into stipulations that they will,
unite in arresting the movement in the event of Aus-
tria alone being unable to resist it. "In a word,"
says that journal, " this treaty. is to be 4ed as
an alliance offensive and defensive, w e
Austria to undertake military operations in Lomba
of the most energetic character. It is also affir
that Austria, not being able to maintain a large stand-
ing army in Italy constantly on a war footing, will
consider herself justified in demanding of the Italian
states guarantees that her policy of government lathe
Lombardo-Venetian kingdom shall not be disturbed.
The significancy of these announcements will be
I appreciated when the subserviency of the journals to
the authorities of Vienna is considered.

AFFRAY ON THE CHARTIST EsTATz.—The Hereford
Journal says • " An unpleasant rencontre, which threatened
the most serious consequences, occurred lately at the
People's estate,' at Snig's-end, between Mr. Dewhurst and
Mr. F. O'Connor. Mr. D., it seems, who was formerly a
schoolmaster at Leicester, had such confidence in Mr.
O'Connor's allotment system that he gave up his academy,
and placed 4001. in his hand for the purchase of the old farm-
house, which he (Mr: Dewhurst) now holds, together with a
quantity of enter, &c. Thinkivg that Mr. O'Connor meant
to' ' him out of toe purchase, Mr. D. one day entered the
room where he was sitting with a hatchet, and under violent
excitement was about to commit a murderous sasault, when
Mr. O'Connor knocked him down, and the intruder was
borne off amidst the reprobation of the other inmates without
having inflicted any injury."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Tuts DAY.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
Before Mr. Justice Erie and a Special Jury.
BVNN v. JENNY LlND.—This Cite was unexpectedly called
on this morning; Mr. Cockburn. Q. C., Mr. Peacock, and
Mr. Phipson. appeared for the plaintiff; the Attorney.
General, Sir F. Thesiger, Q. C., Sir J. Bayley, and Mr.
Hogging for the defendant. Damages were laid at 10.0001.
Mr. Cockburn, in stati..g l'ue cave. said the plaintiff was
the well known lessee of Drury lane Theatre; the defendant
the celebrated votalist, who had boa•' recaved with ouch
enthusiasm in this country. I.& ISll Jenny Lind having
gained the highest approbation in Germany, Mr. Bunn
went over to Beilin,'. and entered into en en-
gagement with the defendant. That contract hail never
been modified, therefore it now remained in full force. Mr.
Cockburn then read the correapoodence which had taken
place, in which the defendant declared that inconsequence of
the difficulty she felt in acquiring the English language she
should not be able to abide by the contract. Mr. Bunn made
every preparation necessary to give <Wag to Jenny Lind's
first appearance, but the fact was, she received a more tempt-
ing offer from Mr. Lumley, an•l that was the real cause of
her breaking the contract,
Se, evil witpeines were called to prove the plaintiff's case,
after which the Attorney-Ueneral :dressed the jury un th,
part ol the iletendant.
Mr. Justice Erie having shortly summed up, the jury,
after a brief consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff
—Damages, 2,500 i.
