THB Qvißx H. PIIO*BBIL—PATINT.—SCIRB FACIAL

This case, which wto as appeal from an order of the
Mast. rof the Rolls, was signed last week. The questions
were, whether the Avormry-General was warranted in @A-
nklet a Mr. Van War, • citizen of New York, note sub.
jest of nor domiciled i this country, t. sue out a mire Wise
for rep. sling, or inquiring into the merits of, Mr. Power's
patent for manufacturing ism pipes. Another objection to
the Attorney-GeaeraN list for ironing the mi. M. was that
the bond given by Von Wart for securing the costs was in-
sufficient, considering that he was an alien. The Muter of
the Rolls hiving diet .ed that the Attorney-Genrral had un-
controlled discretion in the visas matter, dismissed the
appliesinn to him with costs.—Tbe Lord Chancellor now
giving his judgment on the appeal, said he was of opinion
during the argument that the Master of the Rolls was right,
and t ow, aster reading the papers and afillavits on
the matter, he had no reason to alter that opinion.
His lordship having stated the principal objections made to
the cowls pursued by tne Attorney- rWmeral, sail the matter
was entire y within his discretion. He (the Attorney-
General) was himself the prosecutor of the ea fa., and bad a
right to avail himself of the information of every person be
plumed to investigate the merits of the patent, to defend the
prerogative of the mown and the interest of the public. With
respect te the bond for costs, that was of modern introduc-
tion, even within lino, memory, being first taken by At-
foamy General Ill'DoeseU (se we understood), who con-
sidered that se aay mewls might pet the frown in motion
to investigate the rights efe patentee, it was but just that
the latter, if his rights weed out to be unimpeachable,
should have bascule secured to hint. That matter was also
in the dissmtios of the Atemmey-General. If the Attorney-
General saw it proper to pet this ppaatent in a comae of in-
vestiestiom this east had no ietGsdistion to control or rags-
lets his presseding. The Master of the Rolls' judgment
nest be allinsed.—Mr. Webster: And with Nets t—Tee
Lora Chancellor: It a for the Attorney General to emicder
se to oat.—The Attorney-Gesersi said nothing, and the
matter ended.

FRANCE.

PARIS, THOM/DAT, 6 P.M.
The fall at the Bourse amonstaostoeisiganie The
lisle were predpitated to-day with aro ty hitherto
unexampled. The Fives, which el yesterday at
86.33,0pened to-day with a fall of 1.35, and clot d with
a farther fall of 2 10, making a total fall on yester-
day's closing prices of 3 45. In like manner the
Threes opened with a fell of 1 10, end closed with a
Nether fall of 1 65, making a total fall of 2 73 on
yasterdayl prior. The chief cause of thin is the
certainty ciao recommencemeotof war in North Italy.
A meeting of certain members cf the Assembly, of
the republican and democratic party, was held to-day,
at the hotel of the Pree'dent of the Assembly, at
which it is said a resolution was adopted .that, upon
the first intelligence of the actual commencement of
hostilities in Lombardy, a motion should be brought
brward in the Assembly to repeal the late decree for
its dissolution, and to declare itself in permanence.
It was said that the question would be raised on the
evasion of the debate on the amendment proposed by
N. Duplan, the object of which is to give to the Pre-
sident of the Assembly a right to postpone the pro-
mulgation of the electoral law for a month after its
adoption by the Assembly.
In the National Assembly to-day the third reading
of the electoral law was continued, bat nothing of
interest occurred. The last article was adopted, but
certain clauses which have been recommitted are still
to be considered.

A ball was given last evening at the palace of the
President of the Republic. There wee nothing in
this fee different from the lett of the same kind,
width I reputed about a fortnight since. Several
grand bells, public and private, are to be given this
evealai.

COMMENCEMENT OF THE OPERA SEASON.

MLA 'MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The 'neon of 1849 commenced at this theatre last
night, under very favourable auspices. Mille.
Alboni, by her performance of yesterday evening,
has added very oremiderably to that reputation oh
had already been acquired by her since her debut
in the year 1847. There certainly is not much
room for a display in the very tame and
common-Vace el:erecter of the Ceneretseolo such
as Rossini has embodied it, and therefore some
hope may yet remain that this elegant
mad highly finished singer may learn to
throw some of that vigour into her performance
whisk was wont in the best days of Pasta and Oriel
abereately to electrify and to soften the audiences at
the Indian theatre. In other respects the opera was
our sufficiently oast : the two sisters, Clovis& and
This, are most ungrateful parts, and nateraLy
ems* =sited correspondent sentiments towards
their representatives; but Don ilagnyko, as played
by F. Lablaehe r Don -Ramiro, as " interpreted" by
Gutcni; and Dendini, u performed by Beihtti, were
very excellent achievements, and amply contributed
to the satisfaction of the house. An encore was ob-
tained without difficulty in the Nee of the finale—
" Non pin testa"—am d the duet, "Un Ssgreto," also
drew down a well-merited shower of plaudits.
After the opera was finished the curtain drew up
for the performance of the " National Anthem,
which was very creditably sang, the first and second
verses, by Clardoni and Alboai as soli, and the third
by a quintett of the other singers. The ballet, in
which department her Majesty's Theatre stands pre-
eminent, was the well-known subject " Le Diable i
Quatre," with Carlotta Grisi as Masourka, aided
by Marie Taglioni and Rosati as collateral
1111.0011. Although there was no novelty
k the ballet, the incidental pas, tours de force, and de
=, executed by these three accomplished
were sufficient to excite very =astable
ssibmksie and applause; Roeati in particular ap-
pend is have excelled her former achievements in
• shgree
_art. The house was very well end
hakes* isAlod. end the prospects of the season
are, we feel much satisfaction in observing, of a very
attnetive charset,r, embracing • good deel of new
talent and a not inconsiderable amount of that which
has been already tried and approved of.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We are in receipt of Cape Town newspapers to
the 23th, and of Graham's Town to the 21st of
January.
The local news is posecssed of little general inte-
rest, but the ,following paragraph, which (if true),
concerns the mother-c,untry as much as the colony,
appears in the Graham', Town Journil, a paper
which strenuously supports the administration of
Sir Harry Smith, and may not impossibly be in its
confidence :
It will be highly gratifying to the colony to learn that the
Queen has been graciously pleased, in consideration of Sir
posoaHarry,

Majesty's approbation was communicated to his Excellency,
we are told, in a letter from the Premier, Lord John Russell,
and cannot but be viewed as an act of royal munificence and
of donate consideration, that reflects, as well remarked by
a contemporary, as much honour upon the "Counta,n of
gems and favour," as upon her who is this instance is the
object of the royal regard. •
A government notice appears in the Cape Town

IMPORTANT FROM PIEDMONT. - TOTAL
ROUT OF THE PIEDMONTEt3R ARMY.-
FLIGHT AND ABDICATION OF CHARLES
ALBERT.-MEDIATION OF THE FRENCH
AND ENGLISH MINISTERS SUPPLICATED.

Intelligence of the highest importance was =-
Bounced to the National Assembly in Paris Tes'erday,
by M. 0. Barret. The Austrians have completely
routed the P edmostses army, which has fled to the
Alps. A part has taken refoge at Borgomarero, on
tar Lap and a part was flying along the
:sll Buell, and Trine, towards the Valais in Swit-
Charles Albert escaped into France by Nice,
through which town he pans d at 41 o'clock on Mon-
day forenoon, having prencusly abdicated in favour of
the Duke of Savoy.
Thu disastrous engagement which has led to these
result' took place near Novarra, at which the king's
head-quarters had previously been established, and to
which the Austrians had forced their way from Mor-
tars and Vercelli. At the departure of the last se-
counts the Austrians occupied Novena and Ve,ellli.
The government at Turin had entreated the inter-
ference of the ministers of France and England, to
obtain an armistice for the protection of that capital,
to which the ministers assented, and had departed for
the Austrian bead-quarters, which were apperentlyat
Novena. Tranquillity was not disturbed at Turin,
sad every disposition was made which was necemary
foe the maintenance of order.
We ars without farther details. This news was
sernied in two despatches addressed to the Minister
of Foreign Affairs at Paris •, one from the French
blinicer at Turin, dated the 25th inst., and the other
from the French consul at Nice, dated the 27th.,
which are as follows:

Date of Savoy, passed through Nice on the 26th, at eleven

Awarding to Petersburg lefties of the 17th Inst.,
the imperial Russian troops had, from the 30th
January to the 20th February, made movements
towards Bakanjort and the fortress Urnse-Marksne-
koje, and along the right bank of the Sunscha,
defeating the arcessians in all directions. On the
11th of February the Russians set fire to numerous
farms in the neightearheod of Tschart Jena, the
inmates scarcely herby time to escape. After per-
forming similar explode on the 13th of the came
month, in another directions, the Russians withdrew
into their winter quarters in the fortress of Wood-
wiechensksja. The destruction of the settlements
and farms of the natives, in numerous places, is nar-
rated in glowing terms. It appears, however, that

TM. was an application on the part of the deft ndant, who
is the representative of the shareholden at large, to exa-
mine the Earl of Bomborough as • witness In the case, de
bone use, before one of eAI masters of the superior =tuts,
and to revues the production, on that examination, of all
books documents, and papers relating to the matters in
question.
Mr. Hunt, of Whitehall, appeared for the plaintiffs, and
Mr. Nash for the defendants.
Mr. Nash informed the court that a number of actions
at law were pending in the case of the Waterford, Wex-
ford, Wicklow. sad Dublin Railway Company—that they
were defended by a committee of shareholders, who had
pleadel fraud npon the part of the directors, but that action
against the nominal defendant in the present case would de-
termine all the others. The action was to be tried at the
nest Surrey mixes • and in the meantime, it was nuptial
for the interests of the defendants that the Earl of Bessbo-
rough should be examined viva roc.' and thet the books and
documents should be forthcamiog. Ho founded the present
application upon an affidavit which set forth that the Eul of
Bemborough, who was a director and the via-chairman of
the company, resided for the most part upon his estates in
the south of Ireland ; that be was at present in this country,
bat that, according to statements which appeared in the
newspapers, he was about to proceed to the continent, and
would not pxbably be in Ergland at the time the action
was tried._ _ _

The Judge maid that he was prepared at onee to pronounce
hie decision but that he orrtaiLly wou:d afford tune to an
suer the affidavit, if the attorney for the plaint ff desired it.
At the suggestion of Mr. Hunt, the Judge postponed the
further hearing of the application, in order to afford tame fur
the plaintiff's reply, to a tutors day.

It is impose:lie, surely, that the public can allow
this Astir of things to continue. It is not coedited to
Bracey. Almost every public prop rty managed by
the c nemissicners in Whitehall-place is a dead an-
nual lON to parliament and to the pe.•pie. A quarter
of a million of acres of land is not only entirely unpro-
ductive under their management, but it abaolately
entails a heavy annual charge upon the owners!

DISCI.

Samuel Jobe Nail, whom name appeared on the list as
the oticupier of a onunting•lmuss at 10, St. Batet's place,
was objected*, by Mr. Browse (for the maservatives) on
the ground that his landlady resided on the prosaism.
The clsimant stated that the building in vita* his
siting-houss was situated had only one:street-door, and
the couuting-house was on the ground-floor. He did not
know of his own knewledp whether the landlady lived on
the premises.
Mr. Saowxa said he had a witness who was prepared to
prove that the landlady's son had told him, on his going to
the premises, to make inqairies into the .abject, that his
wither had no other place of abode than No. 10,8 t. Betiet's-
place. He (Mr. Browne) thought that ander the circum-
staases the court was bound to receive such evidence, Mr.
Nail himself being unable to give any positive information
upon to subject.
Mr. an obji cted to the reception of such evidence.
Mr 'Cuathrie was of opinion that the evidence ten-
dered wss Inadmissible, and that Ike same must be retained.
Tim court adjourned mail this erasing at 10 o'clock.

I am rejoiced to have to announce to you the intel-
Secure that has just been received hi re by telegraph
from Constantinople, under eate the 17th instant.
Yon are aware that the government of the Porte
had refused to give op to the mercy of Auetria the
Hungarian chiefs, Koreutb, Dembinski, and others,
who had taken refuge io the Turkish territory at
Widdin. General Prince Radsivoill had been sent
specially on the part of Russia to demand the son-
reader of these refugees, Count Stormer u-ging the
mama demand on the pert or Austria. It was thought
that the sultan would yield to the institute of the
Russian general, bet it has not been so. He
has peremptorily refused to yield the point,
and the ambassadors of both powers have
suapeoded diplumatic relations with the govern-
ment of the Porte further notice. Mean-
while, they tare communicatol the facts to their
respective were rnmenta. and asked for further in-
simuction•. Such was the state of affairs at the latest
date at C K shat t ople.
Here all is in the same state. As the time of the
elvateber's meeting approaches, rumours of the eta'e of

ITALIAN COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION.-A con

Ward, and Count Vole, for the regulation of the free navi-

before by the Parmesan of moderate states having an inte-
rest in the transit of goods which passed their dominions,
so that vessels were detained from the continual visits they
had to Puhmit themselves to, several days in each voyage.
Minister Correll, being a commercial man, no one better
than he could appreciate the *comity of such commercial
reform. We are informed he intends to introduce the stamp
system throughout Austria, comprising the minor Italian
states in his project. Much may be exptcted from the ea.
lightened intelligence of this gentleman, should he remain
