MUSIC

ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN,

BaHe's new opera, Bianca, the Bravo's Bride,
was reproduced list night, and its attraction, together with
that of the pantomime, drew an overflowing house. Of
this opera and its performance we have already spoken so
fully, that there remains for us little more than to say that
it wax better performed and more favourably received than
ever. It was cured of its greatest fault its length--by
some judicious curtailments, which contributed to
the rapidity and spirit of the action, and sbo
to the effect of the music. Both Miss Louisa Pyner
and Mr. Harrison were in excellent voice ; and their prin-
cipal pieces--particularly the great scene at the beginning
of the third act—were enthusiastically applauded. The
light, comic concerted music in the second act, in which
Miss Thirlwall and Mr. Corti sustain the principal paste so
pleasantly, went off with the utmost animation ; and the
divertissement in the third act, one of the prettiest things
we have ever seen on the stage, was loudly encored from all
parts of the house. The whole open is put upon the *op
with equal teak and splendour ; and the fire, taw* *
softness and delicacy, with which the brilliant orolsentral
accompaniments are played by Mellon and his admirable
band, form a delightful treat, which of itself is worth
corning it; enjoy. Now that the run of this opera (unwisely
interrupted, we thought) is resumed, we have no doubt it
will be a log ono.

MR. JOHN LOCKE, M.P., AND THE ELECTORS
OF SOUTHWARK.

Last evening a numermudy attended meeting of
the electors of Southwark was convened at the Bridge-
house Hotel, Londoubridge, for the purpose of allorthug
Mr. John Locke, one of the members for the borough of
Southwark, en opportunity of explaining his views on
public attain as regards the legislative measures of the last
two serious of parliament, and the prospects of the forth-
coming mansion.
Soon af►er half.pset seven o'clock the chair wee taken by
Dr. thILLICE.

Mr. Loess, on presenting himself, was received with
loud cheers. At the does of his address, and after
• few questions had been put to the boa. member
with reference to the metropolitan toll gates and other local
subjects, the following resolution was moved by Dr. Mug.
DOCH, seconded by Mr. W. Ournim, and carried
unanimously :
" That this meeting having now heard with satisfaction
from their representative, J. Locke, Esq. • statement of his
conduct and votes in parliament dung the *maim of 1859-
60, hereby tenders him its best thanks for his past services.
and expresses at the earns time its cordial confidence iu his
future exertions."

Mr. Loot having acknowledged the compliment,
The following resolution wee pro by Mr. Ntwiras,
seconded latisMr. SARELL, and to:
"That meeting views with germ the excessive ex•
penditure of the government, and calls on oar representa-
tives to use all their power to reduce the arm , navy, and
• service, in order to avert the wha bankruptcy
which is overtaking our trade and commerce by withdrawing
so many millions of money in excess of former years, and
further, that they will press on the government the noes-
, city of removing those burdens which weigh so heavily on
the people in the shape of taxes on tea and sugar and on
the manufacture of paper, whereby at least 200,000 of the
labouring population are deprived of remunerative employ-
ment ; and that thu boo. member present will fail to re
sent the electors and non-elector of this borough if he
should issileet to bring in or support a bill for resident
manhood suffrage for all who claim it, with the protection
of the ballot."

suffering from cold and a want of food. Mr. Mitchell
asked him if she might be removed to the union workhouse,
He told Mr. Mitchell that she required very great care and
attention, and also nourishment and stimulant., and if he
was unable to give these to her she bad better be removed.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell said that the deceased had
great objection to going into the workhouse, but the de-
ceased did not say in herself in his presence. He under.
stood from Mr. Mitchell that the object of his (Mr. Brook's)
visit was to see if the deceased was fit to be removed.
Clogs-examined by Mr. Griffin—The deceased told him
before her master and mistress that she bad had plenty to
eat, but had no appetite at that time.
Kate Norman, nurse at the Henley Union Workhouse,
was next examined. She said that the deceased was brought
to the workhouse on the 4th inst. She was in a very de.
hilitated state, and was obliged to be carried. She was eery
dirty. She said that she bad had fits. She was put to bed
sod hot water applied to her feet. She bad tie and bread
and butter supplied to her, and she partook of it with great
nest. She saw the deceased twice that night, and again
before 8 o'clock in the morning, when she took her some
bread and butter and tea, which she took with avidity.
After that the deceased was washed. She was washed on
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday before she could be got
clean. The deceased continued to take her meals heartily.
She had mutton and broth for her dinner, and a glass of
wine every day. She died on Wednesday, the 9th of January
Unmet. On Tuesday, the Bth Inst., the deceased became
very sefractory, got out of bed, and took up a broom to
sweep the room. She pacified her, a got her into bed
• again. She was very delirious and wandering. Her feet
and toes were very bad with Mistersand wound& Her body
was van, thin and emaciated. She had seen persons in
consumption thin, but the deceased was person of generally
healthy appaatsne& In hot,' she was a mere skeleton.
(Sensation.)
Cross-examined by Mr. Griffite—The under linen of the
deceased was very dirty., as if she bad been suffering from
diarrhea. She did not lied her to be suffering from relaxed
bowels. She came into the house at a quarter before 6in
the evening. She did out then place her In a bath, as she
was too thin. She washed her, but could not get her clean
until the third time. Her skin looked healthy.
By the Chairman—The decesssd did not look like a dis-
eased parsec. She Mese* Mid charge of an infirmary

Flixabeth Hawkins examined—She said she assisted in
washing the deceased. The deceased took her pint of tea
and broad and butter ravenously. She mind for a piece of
toast, saying that she was very hungry. She ate it, and
then asked for more. She asked for refreshment during the
sight, and on the next day she took her food with a raven-
ous appetite. She was sodirty that it use requisite she
should be washed three ttmea. Her feet were very bad.
'Pb. skin of her body looked healthy, but she was very

Mr. J. W. Jeston, surgeon, examined—Os Saturday, the
fith instant, he was called in to see the deceased about 11
o'clock in the forenoon. He found her exhausted sad very
much emaciated. He asked her if she had had plenty of
food, and she replied " Plenty." She said she was suffer-
ing great pain. He examined her and found her extremely
emaciated. Her skin was brows, and still dirty underneath.
The extremities of both great toes were black, and also four
others; they were black from mortification and frost-bitten.
were also several blisters on the soles of her fest.

Her mind was collected, and she rationally answered all the
questions which he put to her. She complained of extreme

Tuesday be found her worse, and that she was not
yto live twenty-four home. He never maw any
human being so much emaciated as the deceased. Hillquita
expected the delirium. Delirium frequently takes plain
from eaffering from want of food. His impression was that
the dimmed was in a state of starvation when In first saw
her. He made a post mortem examination of the body on
Friday last, at 2 o'clock. He found the body extremely
aniscasted. The convexity of the spine appeared pressing
on the abdomen. Four toes on the right foot and two on
the left were in a state of gangrene or moriiBcatioa The
Main and the body were both healthy ; the right lung was
partly adhering to the wall of UN chest, apparently from
some previous attack of pleurisy. The upper part of the
intestines were partly filled, apparently with food, like
gruel and wine. The lower extremities of them were in a
state of semi.transpareuey. The liver was dark and con-
gested. The gall bladder was full of bile, having the
natural appearances. The body was perfectly free from
dhow. He did not believe that the diseases referred to
were auffkient to cause death. In his judgment he could
net attribute her death to any other cause than a long
eenthmanos of the want of food and nourishment.
(Seiteation.)

by Mr. Grits—He did not form the
opiates that the deceased suffered from starvation so much
from hie fret seeing ,her as from the examination of her
body. He did not know from his experience that persons
who had died apparently from starvation had the same ap-
pearance, as those dying from feed not assimilating with
the system. He had heard of such ease, bat nose had
come under his observation. He did not know of such Mill
coming on in so short a period of time. He relied on
Mr. Mitchell's statement, who was a medical man, as to the
time she was taken with such debility. When he formed .
that opinion be had not seen Mr. Mitchell. He came to
that opinion from her appearance, the answers which she
gave to him, and the report made to him by the nurse of the
avidity with which she took her food. The length of time
had nothing to do with his opinion. He never before made
• post mortem examination of a person known to have died
from starvation. He gained his knowledge of such cases
from reading. His authorities were the Lancet, Professor
Taylor, and general reeding. The signs of death from star-
vation are extreme pellucidity of the. intestines, almost
amountingtotransparsocy, frequently to discolouration of the
skin, delirium, and all the internal organs appearing healthy ;
extreme emaciation is also present. He never attended the
post mortem examination of a person who had died through
feed not having assimilated with the system. He did not
believe that the skin would be discoloured in such a case.
It was likely that the intestines would have been much the
same. Looking at the state of all the organs, he came to
the omiclusion that the deceased died front starvation.

By the Chairman—A great many more cases hap ti of
death from starvation then through food not amimtlating
with the system. The latter cages were rare. He cool&
not come to a determination until he had made an internal
exainnution. Wasting away was called atrophy ; but that
was the result of some disease, and not a disease itself.
Mr. A. D'Oyley Brooke, surgeon, examined, stated that
be concurred with Mr. treetop's evidenceorith the exception
that he did not think that the toes were in a state of gan-
grene. There was no organic disease sufficient to account
for death. He was unable to say what was the cause of
death without knowing more of her previous history, but
the appearance of the body was consistent with the hypo-
thesis that the deceased died from starvation. The eymp.
toms mentioned., as far as he knew, were coexistent with
death from starvation.

By ti;duTirniTM:Although tho deceased told him at
Mr. Mitchell's that she had plenty of food, yet if be had
aerinespanied her to the workhouse and seen her eat her
food with lest, he should have doubted the troth of her
statement.

Mr. G. Dranosfield Brown, surgeon, was also examined.
He stated that he assisted in the part mortise examination,
and quite concurred in the conclusions at Mr. Jeston.
There was no disease sufficient to account for the death.
in his judgment death was the result of starvation.
James Sumner, a shoemaker, deposed that he was in the
habit of going to Mr. Mitchell's house. Some one else came
with the deceased to the gate, which was kept fastened on
the inside. On the 2nd of January be mew tbe Seemed,
and sbe appeared to be in a very weak state. She tried to
unfasten the gate, but could not succeed. He particularly
observed her to be in an extremely weak date.
William Cobbett, another person who had frequently
gone to the house, was called, and gave similar testimony.
Mr. Griffits, having learnt that it was the intention of
the bench to send the case before • jury for trial, said he
should reserve his defence.

The Chairman said, from the evidence adduced they had
no alternative but to send the cue before a jury, and Mr.
Mitchell would therefore be committed to Osford Gaol for
trial at the ensuing Lent
Application was made for bail, and the bench stated that
they would aisupt bail, Mr. Mitchell in the sum of 200'.
and two sureties at 1001. each. _

The inquiry lasted nis Noun, and during the whole of
that time the Town•hall was densely crowded. The re-
mains of the poor girl were interred is the afternoon of
the same day in the ground adjoining the parish church,
and large crowds followed the corpse and were present at
the funeral.

LONDON, FRIDAY. JAN. U.

Tut question abet* te Ise brought before the
TriMuial of First hestance at Paris, by the widow
of the late Prince Jezows Boy and Der
son, involves one of the most curious inquiries to
which the varied fortunes of the Imperial family
of Corsica has given rise. Technically it is but a
simple question. bounded within narrow and well-
ascertained limits, concerning only the validity of
a

entered into somewhat more
than half-a-century ago between a French officer of
the navy and an American lady of good family,
resident at Baltimore, the attesting witnesses to
which were the Vice Consul of France and one of
the leading merchants of the place, and the clergy-
man by whom the religious ceremony was per
being the Catholic Bishop of that part of
the 'tilted States. Evidence exists, moreover, sod
will be produced, to show that the brother of the
bridegroom, at the time First Consul of the French
Republic, was officially informed of the intended
niarnage some time previously thereto ; but
that no intimation of any objection was made in
reply, either before or after the celebration of the
nuptials. It further appears from a main of cor-
respondence that the wife of J remit was re-
cognised at different times by various mem-
bers of the family, including the mother, and
Jliffir pH, afterwards King of Spain, whom
daughter it was proposed should wary
her eon, the plaintiff in the present suit.
This latter connexion did not ultimately Mks
place, but upon his sehesquent marriage to swain
lady, M. BON APAR= was magratulated in a MAW
by his half brother, ths panne Priam Narouson
JIMMY; and his half eisker, the Princess Mannuis,
and by Them as well se by others of his paternal
relatives be was treated with every mark of re-
spect. Finally, upon his presenting himself at
Bt. Cloud, in 1855, sa the guest of the present
Euramos, a formal instrument, signed by three of
the Ministers of State, was placed in his hands
declaring his legitimacy, and acknowledging him
as cousin of his Mxisirry. Yet, strange to say, a
few months later this gentleman was given to un-
derstand that his presence in Paris was considered
e-mbarraming to the reigning family, and he was
subsequently informed that he could only be
welemuid to the Imperial Court under the title of
Duke DE Seamen, a title which he declined to
wasp', that beim& as he proudly objected, a " lomat
"of bastardy." His father was simply MfellIMIR
JZZONZ Boxerairra, when his mother was mar-
ried, and when be was born : the dignities and titles
subsequently heaped upon him his son had never
been permitted to share, and he did not lay claim
to any. But se his mother had refused for ha,-
eel( and him the compromising rank of Primates
and Prince of SNALCALDEN, when offered by Ye
father, then King of WESTPHALIA, so he must de-
cline the dignity, or indignity as he considered it,
proffered by NAPOLEON 111. In the face of the
facts thus briefly stated, and noun of which admit
of 'lmpute, it may seem incredible that any serious
controversy should arise out of M. BONAPARTE'S'
demand, or that of is mother, to their distri-
butive share of the property of the late Governor
of the Invalides. But other interests, more pow-
erful than theirs, abide the issue ; and it is un-
luckily impoeible, under the circumstances of the
case, to do justice to the parties in question with-
out indicting serious and undeserved detriment on
others hitherto occupying high stations in society.
Jason' Bo was bribed and bullied by
his brother, the first Derwin, into repudiating
his wife, in 1806 ; and, failing to obtain a Bell
from Pies VI. annulling the marriage, N•POLION
induced the Archbishop of Paris to pronounce a
false and fraudulent decree, declaring the union
between his brother and Min ELIZA/OWN PAW/PA-
WN void and of none effect. A few months later
Jason& contracted a second marriage with the
Princess CATNILLINE of Wirteseherg, and in the
course of the NM, year be was proclaimed King
of Westphalia.' The Kingdom of Westphalia, its
King and its Queen, bays vanished like other
phantoms from the ambitious seem ' • but the issue
of this sassed mks naturally refuses to admit its
invalidity, a consequence legally inevitable if the
previous one, celebrated at Baltimore in 1803, be
recoipused as good in law. It is very much the
same question as that which rent into rival fac-
tious the courtiers and divines of the House of
Ti non. If Hmeav's divorce from CATagalat was
Invalid, ASNI SOLITE NY not his wife, and
Buzsasen was not lawfully begotten. The
plant Parliaments of the sixteenth century were
ready to vote and un-vote anything or everything
the Prince's humour might require ; and querulous
commentators had before them the pillory, the
Fleet, or, it might be, the scourge and the imple-
ments of teeters. Royal families in the nineteenth
century are not so well provided with the means of
fabricating law to suit their family needs, and expo-

clients for stifling contumacious criticism. NAPO-
LI/14i M. may have his views and wishes as to the
issue now depending in the courts of law in
France, but not even their notoriety can avail
to quench the controversy or to settle the conflict-
ing rights of the parties otherwise than as public
law and public justice shall exact. Prince
NAI,LI4I/3 Jeamia has become the husband of
the King of ITALY'S daughter, and surmise has
more than once named him for conspicuous
stations in the re-modelled chart of Europe. It
will certainly not aid his political prospects
if the son of the virtuous and beautiful
American should be acknowledged as his elder
legitimate brother. Reversionary rights of heir-
ship to the Imperial Crown may not be worth
much in the market, as times go ; but they are
not easily relinquished, or capable of compensation

by merely subordinate dignities or honours. The '
Purim RovAt for a madame, large estates for an
appanage, and the rank of Imperial Highness
—all these may be secured to the son-in-law of
VICTOR DIPS/011'M But the rights and preten-
sions of the eldest son of the es-King JEROISZ
cannot be so easily disposed of ; and these are
sow controverted before the tribunal of First !D-
-eism.

There is something truly noble and touching in
the constancy and courage of the remarkable
woman who forms the not least conspicuous portion
of the singular family picture thus exhibited to
the world. Young, gifted, and beautiful, she
found herself deserted by a worthless husband,
and her place openly given to another from too.
tii,s of the merest ambition. No lure could
induce her to accept rank or riche, at his hands or
those of his all-powerful brother. No temptation
could beguile her into parting with her son, who,
to do him justice, seems to have inherited the
true dignity and spirit of his mother. In vindi-
' cation of her own insulted honour and that of her
family, the legislature of Maryland passed an act
of divorce, by width she was set free, while yet in
the bloom of womanhood, to make another choice
for life. She did not do so, but was content to
live single until her son had grown to man's
estate, and her grandson had entered the army of
France to win distinction in it. heroic ranks. She
has outlived the man who wronged her and the
princes, who supplanted her. She has lived to see
the offspring of her girlish love recognised, after
fdty years, ea the lawfully-horn kinsman of the
Emperor of the FRINI:11; and she now only waits
to hear the judgment of a French court of law
acknowledging as her due that simple recognition
which she never ceased to claim. A characteristic
trait may be mentioned of this singular woman,'
that indicates at once the moral and intellectual
nature combined in her. When offered the estate
and title above mentioned in 1808, her answer
was, " Westphalia may in his opinion be a great
" kingdom, but in mine it is not large enough for
" two Queens." It were an intolerable wrong if
such a woman should pass away before the battle
of her life was won.
