THE IMPERIAL COURT AT COM PIEGNE.—" The

be seem more Wilmot than Isom of previous yours. Hunt-
ing, promenader, spectacles, mete be oo arranged as to efford
each caries of guests all the pleasures appertaining to the ex-
',team of the first court in Europe, at kart in respect of ele-
gance and splendour. These is", are, which may be considered
me partaking somewhat of an official aharacter, will not at all
iaterfere with she pleasures of toe more limited family circle,
in w►ich the Imperial court unbends iteelf. Lest year im-
provised proverb., charades, readings, and drawing-room
concerts occupied them more privet° hone which intervened
between two eerie. of great invitations. The, year there will
be added to these amusements the pertinnance of a little un-
published comedy, M• M. Octavo Feuillet, the elegant author
of the ' Roman n'un Janne Houma Pierre' sad many other
charming works. Some of the highest personsgee of the
court are already rebensing their parts. It to mild that the
POMO of the comedy is laid in the eighteenth century, and
that the delicate and mantis wit characteristic of that century
is happily reproduced. It is to be performed on the 13th

THE COMING BATTLE.

On Tuesday morning the Emperor Napoleon and
Ling Victor Emmanuel left Brescia to place them-
selves at the head of their armies. The Austrian army
has hastily abandoned its positions at Lonato,
Castiglione, and Montechiari, at which it had
seemed to be ready to accept battle, and has fallen
back beyond the Mincio. According to an
official despatch from Vienna, the Emperor Francis
Joseph, as we stated yesterday, left Verona in the
evening to transfer his heed.quarters to Villafrance,
situated between Mantua and Verona. " The tele-
graph," says the Nord of to-day, "will not
be long before it brings us the news of
a decisive event. The contest will have
colossal and terrible proportions. There will not be
less than 300,000 combatants ; the beat troops of
three armies with two emperors and a king at their
head. It will be one of those memorable struggles
which compose a page of history."
The Nord says that a Sardinian fleet, composed of
four frigates, will take part in the maritime opera-
tions against Austria. These operation swill be of
three kinds in the Adriatic—blockade, attack, and
disembarkation. The Sardinian fleet ue desirous of
sharing in the operations of attack.

" Advices have been rcoeived from Arose° to the

attacked Perugia on the 20th inst. Great resistance
was made, notwithstanding that the defenders were
few. After three hours' fighting outside the town the
Swiss entered, and the combat continued for two
hours in the streets. The Swiss trampled 'down

Shortly after 7 o'clock this morning a fire of an
sisrming character broke out on the premises belonging to
Mr. W. Sande, builder, of No. 18, Cursitor-eueit,
Chancery-lane. The timber-yard and workshops are en-
closed by the backa of the houses situated respectively in

time the engines had arrived the fire had obtained a
strong hold. The firemen worked in a praiseworthy
manner, but Mr. Sande premises are entirely deetroyed. We

tenants residing In Norwich-court have suffered much by
fire and hasty removal of goods. The printing-office

The prosecutor, who is the father of the female prisoner,
said be was a milliner, mantes on business in Birmingham,
but that he wished to withdraw the prerant charge, and pre-
fer a charge of abduction against the man. The men had
formerly resided in Birmingham, and the female had worked
fur his wife. He (witness) learning that an intimacy had
sprung up between the prisoners, he took his daughter away,
and she had gone on well until last we k. The mele prisoner,
who had a wife and two chlldrea, lett Birmingham throe
weeks sgo, sad came up to London. On Monday ben the
female prisoner left her home, and although she had been ad-
vertired, nothing was heard of her until Friday, when she
wrote to a friend and stated that she was living at a house of
Mason's, and was going by the assumed name of Smith. He
had also ascertained that Mans had written to his (wit-
will) daughter leveret letters ccetandag very loving expree-
done, and that on Saturday last be had sent her a letter con-
taining a post-odloe order, to enable her to pay her expanses

who treated the matter very lightly, and who continually
smiled at the man, said she did not want to go home with

Mr. Burnham said it was a and case, but be was of
opinion that the evidence would sot mks It Da ears of ab-

MUSIC.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.

Last evening, in Exeter-hall, there wee a gnat
choral rehearsal, by the London divides of tits Hamial
Commemoration Choir, under the direction of Kr. Costa.
This was the fifth of the aeries of reluareals which have
been oarriad on during the winter, and their effect la the
improvement of the choir is now very apparent. The London
' division coastal* of above mitten hundred voices; end
the genre number, drawn tram the var:ous choral
aocieVes and cathedral choirs throughout the country,
will, wo understand, amid three thousand; the most
mighty vocal host that bas ever been assembled in England;
and we believe, from the preparatory training and discipline
that it is undergoing both in London and In the provinces,
that Its power will be commemorate with its magnitude.
The pieces selected for last night's rehearsal were the
acmes in the Dettingers Ti Doors and Judas Ilaccedoss.
We observe that objections hare been made to the choice of
the Dettiages re seam as one of the works to be
performed at the Handel Commemoration. Why, it
has been said, take a piece written for a pull.
ember occasion—that occasion, moreover, being the
I celebration of a military triumph—to the exclusion of one of
thine sublime oratorios on which the glory of the oon4ossr
will for ever root P The answer is plain. The Tr Dem
Lesmiestsit is the grandest hymn of the Christian church;
sad the (easiest music in which it has ever been clothed Is
that of Handal. It is evident th►t he put forth, in Ile oom.
position, all the strength of his mighty genius; and, of the
monument to his own Immortal mentozy which he has erected
by his works, no portion will be move perennial than his
song of Praise to the Almighty. The It Lam is, indeed,
peculiarly fitted for performance by the Immosa vocal army 1
to be arrayed at the Crystal Palace. It is unequalled for
the bnedtb and simplicity of its vast mused of harmony ;
it Is tree from minute and elaborate details; sad it depends
very little either on the wine, of individual sieges or oaths
ants of orchestral accompaniment. For three maces It

Is, of ell the music that we know, the beat calculated to pro-
dace • peat •lout in a vast locality sad with a vast =mat
at vocal power; sad ft§ appoeolitag performance at Sydra-
bam will probably be powarltal beyond •aytbheg that at pre-
late we can eves ecacadve.

PIEDMONT.

The Opinions of Turin announces the snivel there
on the 11th of five of the Neapolitan exiles, who, u
already stated, lately passed through France from
England.
In the sitting of the 12th of the Chamber of Hepa-
tica at Turin, a bill for a grant of 803,115 G. to be
applied to the fortifications of Alessandria was
voted without opposition, after which the chamber
proceeded to examine the budget of the Ministry for
Foreign Affairs. Count Solaro della Margherita,
of the extreme right, rose, and after disclaiming all
intention of embarrassing the government in the
present doubtful state of affairs, begged to remind
Count Cavour that for many ages Piedmont,
small u she was, had always maintained a high po-
sition in the councils of greater powers through her po-
litical sagacity and the blood bravely spilt in war by
her soldiers. Hence the responsibility of the minister
would be immense, should his political plane, by
their failure, diminish the lustre of that high posi-
tion. The hon. gentleman concluded with recom-
mending Count Cavour to take proper measure, for
the maintenance of internal tranquility. After this
speech a pause ensued, and all eyes were turned
towards Count de Cavour, who was in his usual
place, but did not offer to reply. The chamber then
proceeded with the budget, and voted all the
article?.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, ISN.

1 that the decision of a judge in • County Court is
practically final. The public sacrificed to sous'
degree good law in order to get speedy law
when they adepted the Cout; Ourt system. Bat
they an certainly entitled to have us good law mean
be got for 1,2001.1 year, to *ire it administered
by a man who acqui molds reputatioe, or, at
IN*
all events, has hairhal eome p ' ikdetermining the
questions which are likely to be submitted to him.
Now, unless we are entirely misinformed, the person
who has been selected by the Loan CHANCELLOZ to
fill the vacant office of County Court Judge im a
gentleman whose guilds' can only be ascertained
by a reference to the Law List. Neither courts
of justice have beard hie voice, nor is his name
seen at the foot of abstracts of tide or legal
opinions. It is • bad omen when the existence
of a Bishop elect can only be discovered by
• reference to the University Calendar. It is little
better when the existence of • Judge designate
mast be ascertained by a reference to the Law Lat.
Indeed, even if this gentleman were an Equity
Draftsman or a Conveyancer, however eminent, his
experience surely does not fit him to decide legal
questions connected with Common Law. No doubt
men who bare earned their reputation in Courts of
Common Law have been raised to the woolsack, but
recent experience certainly does not approve the
system. At all events, In the present case there is
no need of so dangerous an experiment.
Perhaps the rumour to which we have alluded
may be withoat foundation. It is worth while
to clear the matter up. And those members of
the Home of Commons who watch over the
frailties of the CHANCIELLOR will do well to put
a question on the subject before Parliament separates,
Is it tree that an unknown Bqeity lawyer has been
appointed County Closet Judge P If this be so, what
is the theory upon which the appointment proceeds?
Is the man an able lawyer, or is this simply an ordi-
nary, but somewhat glaring, job, done to promote a
private friend, or to conciliate a political connexion ?

seilles the vessel was kept in quartet's* for forty-eight
hours; the result was that although the defendant
made the beat of his wry, via Paris and Calais, to Erg-
land, he did not reach Birmingham until two hour' after the
rterkse had concluded; the reoxgnimances were accord-
ingly ettreeted. Mr O'Brian made an application

Calvocormal bad been found guilty, the Recorder remarked
that these trials ter the coining of Turkish piastres h.d, he

eit ntly low rate to be remunerative, they must be constructed
by the aidof valuable mv.hinery, and all that capitalokill,and
art could do to produce them at a low rare must be resorted
to. Be (the Recorder) was very unwilling to believe that
persecute of influence would lend themselves, now that flees
trials had taken plane, to the manufacture of foreign coin,
and he would with it to be known by the manufacturers of
Birmingham that not only must too authority of a

provides for the edematton and maintenance of the eons of the
poorer clergymen of the Church of England free of expense,
even while their lathers themselves happen to be in exist-
ence. It la wel. that the public should be made aware that •
large proportion of the clergymen of the established church
of Englund are stipendiary curate*, whose avenges incomes
are lees than 1001. a year. Many of them poor clerg3 men
are without any privet.) means whatever, and it is computed
that there are upwards of 7,000 amongst thorn who
receive incomes front their profession utterly insufficient fur
even the moderate maintenance of themselves and families.
Thee/tracts clearly prove that it is impossible fur men so situ-
ated, end with a social position to uphold, to provide for the
education of their children. To supply the want them crested
le the object which the patrons of this charity bare in view.
The general affairs of the school are managed by a committee
of clergymenand laymen, by whom theca.. of all applicants
for adruisaiun are oonfileetially and carefully lavesugoted.
The number of boys which base already been admitted to it
amounts to 30, who ars under the care of the ltev. L. P.

The committee, however, have succeeded in securing
more extensive premise. at Clopton House, Ciepton,
which ere admirably fitted for the purposes of the

at the expiration of ohs Midsummer buinioya. It is to aid

Weakly drawn with a view to the pro'ection of uoliappy
persons placed in lunatic anytime. Another thing likewise
was abundantly plain, namely, that In modern times great
changes had been made in the treatment to which
lunatics were subjected, and that a soothing, kindly
retest had taken the place of the old rule of bodily vie.eocx
It hadbeen given in evidence during the trial byre hirelf
an eminent instill loner, that Dr. Conolly had taken a promi-
nent part in bringing about that system of amelioration. The
questions which he ehonld leave to them to decide were these.
In the lint place, wee Dr. Corny a part proprietor of
Moore:oft-hour, or wee be a regular medical attendant
then? If they shiald be of °pluton that he was either the
one or the other, he should direct them to find a verdict for
the plaintiff with such damages ea the case required. If,
however, they should find that he was not a part proprietor
or a regular medical attendant, he should direct them to find
a verdict for the defendant, he reserving the point whether it
wee smeary within the act of parliament to bring home
knowledge to the defendsnts that the certificate woe Illegal.
There were, however, two other points which he should ask
them to decide Tint. Whether Dr. Conolly examined Mr.
Ruck apart from Mr. Barnett, es required by the act of par-
liament I Secondly. Was Mr. Barnett, at the tune of sign-
ing the certificate, in actual ;reties
Mr. James asked hie lordakip to allow the jury to take the
memorandum-hook with them into their private room.
One of the jury said he would rather not see the book.
Mr. James consequently did not persist in his request.
After en absence of an hour the jury retuned Into court
with the following verdict:
1. That Dr. Coolly received certain payments, by way
of commlindon, for eerier patients, aid that that was suffi-
cient to constitute him a pert proprietor of Moorcrolt-house.
" 2. That Dr. Coolly wee a regular medical attendant at
Moorcroft."

The jwry tkimiare mewed the plaintire damages at 5001.
" 3. That there was not satticient evidence before them to
above that Mr. Barnett at the nose of signing the cernficete,
wee not in actual practice.
ff 4. That there was not sufficient evidence to show that
Dr. Dewily had not examined Mr. Ruck apart from Mr.

nonconformist and other Cbrietien bodies whore worship is
not limited by a litany. Last night another illustration of
the sympathy felt by evangelical Chri•tiane in the came of
Italian libertines from Austrian and papal tyranny was
'faded by the holding of a special prayer mcetiog
at the Hansom' Scotch Church, Regent's-square. The
gesembly, which for a west-dal gatherieg wes num-

Hamilton, who opseed the proceedings by a brief address, is

that Cheat Britain might not bring down upon herself the

pleased to confer upon me the office of First Lord of the
Treasury, my seat is the Hones of Commons has become
vacant, and I again solicit the honour of continuing to be
ono of your representatives is parliament. I have as lately
had the honourof being among you that I deem it unnecessary
in this address to enter at length into the grounds on which
I rest my claim to your confidence.
I have been charged by our Sovereign with the duty of
forming an administration, and I trust that I have been
enabled to perform that task in a manner that will prove
satisfactory to her Majesty, to parliament, and to the
country.

It will be one of the great objects of the government so
fanned to preserve for their country the blessings of peace ;
and to take advantage of any favourable opportunity that
may present itself to exert the moral influence of Great Bri-
tain to assist in restoring peace to the continent of Enrop3.
We shall also have to consider the important question of the
amendment of the laws which regulate the representation of
the people in parliament; and I trust that we m►y be able
so to deal with that subject as to strengthen the inaUtations
of the country by placing them on a broader and firmer
foundation.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your
obedient and grateful servant,
