A FRENCH COUNSEL IN AN ENGLISH COURT

OP LAW.

The French journals persist in their statement
that M. Benyer is going to London to make • speech in
French before an English court, and they now give some
particular% of the cause in which the great advocate is
engaged. In 1789 a young English (or more probably
Scotch) gentleman, while travelling in France for his re-
creation, met at Nancy a Mdlle. Cathenne Burthe, with
whom he fell over bead and ears in love. He promised her
marriage as soon as he should come into his fortune, and
she swore • lover's oath that she would never wed another.
In 1793 Mr. Anderson, in consequence of his havieg mixed
himself up with the royalist party, was obliged to fly from
France. Catherine Bortht risked her life in assisting him to
leave the country, and she never saw him again for upwards
of forty years. .During this loos interval, however, Mr.
Anderson sever for • moment forgot his first and only love.
From 1793 to 1814 he wrote her frequent letters, all en.
closing bank notes, at least so the story goes ; but as he
never got any answer and does not seem to have
known her address, the statement seems in-
credible. In 1816 Hr. Anderson came to France
on purpose to look for Catherine Burthr., and spent a
month at Nancy making inquiries, but without being able
to learn anything about her. In 1824 he sent an agent,
who met with no better success. At last, in 1836, the per-
covering Mr. Anderson inserted an advertisement in the
Ammo! de laneY, Stating that if Catherine Barthe, or her
heirs, would apply to M. a notary, they would hear
of something to their advantage. Thle ?4vertisement, after
some delay, was brought to the attention of the facS sbe,
it appears, shortly after the flight of her lover, had le.°
Nancy secretly to hide from the police, and had taken re.
fuge in Faris. There she married a M. Titon de la NeuvMe,
who afterwards died, leaving her a widow with three children.
One of her friends, who had never heard her maiden name,
but happened to know that she came from Nancy, showed
her the advertisement, whereupon she at once presented

herself to the notary. From him she learned that
a very rich Englishman wished to make over
her whatever part of his fortune she might stand
need of. A correspondence ensued between Madame de Ia
Neuville and Mr. Anderson, which resulted in the latter
coming to Paris. Henceforth they lived together in very
handsome style, having a mansion in Paris, and a chateau
at Nogenteur-Marne. Curiously enough, however, Mr.
Anderson, in 1843, made a will, in which Madame de Ia
Neuville's name is not mentioned, and by which
he left the bulk of his fortune to a nephew
of his own name; but by a will of later date he
made Madame de Nenville his universal legatee, and
appointed a Frenchman his executor. The validity of
this second will has been established in France, both by the
tribunal of the fist instance and by the court of appeal,
But Mr. Anderson, the nephew, continues to dispute it in
London, and it is for him that M. Berryer is to plead be.
fore the court of probate, the judge of which it is said
thoroughly understands French. N. Malapert, a French
advocate, will appear for Madame de la Neuville. The
English bar will have a rich treat in hearing M. Berryer.

GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION.

(MN 0011 MOLL COBRIMPOWDZIFT.)

GENOA, Mar 15.
The following address was stuck up this morning
in the hotels generally frequented by the tourists of
your country and the 'United States :
Sons and daughters of Great Britain, the United States
of America and their dependencies.
A noble province of Italy, that of the Salinas, the heirs
of Greek and Latin civilisation, the heirs of Norman con-
stitutional freedom, is now struggling fearlessly against one
of the powers of darkness, which a celebrated statesman of
England, the Right Hon. W. Gladstone, characterised as
the negation of God, which is already outlawed by the
eternal principles of justice and humanity. The bravest
of the brave of Italy, General Garibaldi, the modern
Cinciunatue, who routed the Bourbon of Naples at Velletri,
and more recently the Austrian Urban at Vareee and
Como, has hastened to head the valiant islanders who have
struck a blow to free their brethren. With the help of Pro-
vidence he will soon unfurl the Beg of Victor Emmanuel—
the first soldier of Italian independence—on the towers and
mountains of Sicily. Then the horrors of Vandalic destruc-
tion, the iniquitous warfare, the fratricidal massacres of the
Bourbonic hordes shall cease. A new era will dawn foe
Sicily and the southern provinces of the peninsula. Who can
tell the blaming' that would follow in the track of victory?
Therefore do you, the freeborn sons of Britain
and America, who cherish strong feelings of hu-
manity in your hearts, and who reap in your
own land the fruits of justice and freedom, tome for-
ward to save the victims of tyranny and their defenders.
Money is the sinews of war : help then generously with
money the battle against the tyrant who on one side of the
strait emulates Tiberius of Capri, and on the other I)io-
twill's of Syracuse.
N.B. Contributions will be entrusted to the Hon. 1). Bei,
WU. changed to receive any such aid by General Garibaldi
himself. The names of the subscribers, their contributions,
and the receipt thereof, will be published in the Pas ofo
Corriere d'halia and other journals of the Italian kingdom,
copies of which will be duly sent to the British and Ameri-
can consuls in Genoa.

Theacia,—Ma—y 1-,1800.
Everything here smells of powder. Troops are
arriving almost every hour of the day,and are hastily
forwarded towards the boundaries of the Roman
States. These military movements are explained
in a thousand ways. Some say that Austria, hav-
ing signed a treaty of offensive and defensive alli-
ance with Naples and Rome, is pre • to attack
Piedmont; others believe that General 7rmoriciere
is on the eve of crossing the frontier. These
rumours may or may not be well founded, but a
general opinion prevails that war cannot be any
longer delayed. The Stock Exchange of this city
seems to share this opinion, for funds have to-day
fallen oonsiderably. I cannot, however, believe
that the French commander of the Papal
forces —or, as the Italians call him, M-os-
signor Lamoriciiire—will be foolish enough to
cross the Tavollo or to attack Arezzo just at this
moment. The morale of the Papal army is any-
thing but reassuring, and I bear that a most dan-
gerous spirit of insubordination is noticeable in its
ranks. The actual forces which General Lamori-
ciere can dispose of at this moment are about
15,700 regular troops, thus quartered : In the
town of Urbino, 1,000 ; at Gubbio 1,500 ; 2,000
at Perugia ; 2,500 at Pesaro ; at' Fossombrone,
300 ; &icons, 3,000 ; 1,500 at Macerate ; 000 at
Fano ; and 300 at Sinigaglia. At Spoleto, Terni,
and other towns of Umbria, about 3,000. More
than a half of these troops pant for the day of
battle, that they may lay down their arms or turn
them against their present comrades. Of artillery,
I hear he has only three field batteries,
and of cavalry scarcely a thousand horsemen who
can be relied on. With such an army, the former
republican general will not do much against the
Italian national troops ; to say nothing of the revo-
lution which would undoubtedly break out through
the whole of the Papal States.

P.S. I hear that an order has been received from
Paris, countermanding the departure of the French
troops still in Lombardy.

A letter from Rome says :—" Among the volun-
tests recently arrived are two nephews of M. de Villele,
who was minister under Charles X. Their father, the Vis-
oount de 'irdlele, has presented them in the Pontifical uniform
at as audience of the Holy Father. The Pope, who had
already been apprised of this act of devotedness, bad sent
M. de Villele the cross of St. Gregory the Great, before the
reception."
At Rome the government has placed on the re-
tired list the famous General Kalbermatten, General de
Gregorio, Colonel Allegrini, and Colonel Schmidt, the con.
queror of Perugia. When reviewing the troops at this
last-named city, General de Lamoriciere thought proper to
console the inhabitants for their defeat by promising certain
reforms ;.hut " immediately after," says a private letter,
" be wasinformed by telegraph that he had no authority to
make say promises of the kind."
The Grand Duke Nicholas dined on Thursday at
the Tuileries. The preceding evening ha was present at
the performance given at the French Opera. The prince,
who had intended to leave Paris this day, will prolong his
stay to Monday, in order to be present at • grand soiree at
the Tuileries on Sunday.

THE INNS OF COURT RIFLE VOLUNTEIBE.—This
learned and gallant regiment hail its third march out yester.
day. Notwithstanding the steady rain, about 200 gentle.
men in review order mustered at half-pest 12 o'clock, and
paraded in front of King's Bench-walk. The weather looked
more than ominous, yet the men hoped for the beet, an 4
not being afraid of a little rain, were formed and march
by Colonel Brewster over Blackfriars-bridge to the
Waterloo station,, whence they were conveyed to
Barnes and marched thence acmes Richmond-park to
Sheen-common, where a tent for refreshments was pro.
vided and bottled ale and beef sandwiches were obtain.
able. The men were again marched into Richmond-
park, and were put through a great variety of military evo-
lutions—np the double, marching in line, wheeling, ex-
tending in skirmishing order, running in on the an
and forming square to resist cavalry. The review et=
a marked improvement in steadiness, and the lines were ex-
ceedingly well kept. In one sense the regiment has been
very unlucky in its marching dnvs, each day having proved
a rainy one. The regiment then marched, headed by a
band, through the park and through Richmond to the
railway station, and from Waterloo station over Blackfriars-
brie to the Temple, where they dispersed.
THE COLLEGE Or PHYSIEIANE AND GENERAL
PnAcrrrioNEas.--A recent decision of the College of Phy-
sicians of London is calculated to produce a very important
infinence upon the most numerous clan of medical men, the
general practitioners, throughout the country ; and we be•
lieve also, indirectly, upon the practice of pharmacy as a
distinct profession. At • meeting of the fellows of the
College of Physicians, held on Wednesday, the 18th of
April, it was decided to create a third-class of medical men
connected with the college, who, in regard to the maitre of
their practice, will occupy a similar position to that of the
apothecary or general practitioner, with it restriction as to
dispensing medicines only to their own patients. The pro-
bable effect of this arrangement will be gradually to divert
the applications for licenses to practise medicine from the
Apothecaries Hall to the College of Physicians. Already
the College of Physicians had raised the previously
existing licentiates of the college to the position of
members, so that the two existing grades are those of fel-
lows and members, who alone will be recognised as physi-
cians, and who are restricted from the dispensmg of
medicines. The licentiates to be admitted under the new
regulation will not be entitled to the appellation of doctor
they will be general practitioners holding a license from the
College of Physicians, slld having the power to dispense
their own medicines, but not in any other way to engage ia
the sale of drugs. —Phormaceetirof Journal.

we continue the 18.1. income tax, and also continue the
taxes upon tea and sugar at war rates, Now, I think it is

careful to look forward, that in a year is which the revenge
