COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco—Before Lord Campbell, Mr. Justice
Coleridge, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice Crompton.)

LIVINSTONE V. MILLI".

This case came before their lordships on a demurrer
for a breach of contract, and the question on which the
decision of the court was asked was with reference to a
clause in the agreeyient that, "should any difference
arise as to the contract, the same should be left to arbi.
tratiou in London in the usual manner." It appeared
that the plaintiff purchased a cargo of wheat to be
shipped from the Sea of Azoff, the quantity of which
was stated in the bills of lading. On the arrival of the
cargo it was found deficient in quantity, on which the
plaintiff wished to reftr the amount of damage in ac-
oordance with the terms of the contract, but to which
the defendant objected.
Mr. Willes contended this question was one peculiarly
fitted for an arbitrator, and which he ought to have been
called on to decide.

Mr. Kay submitted the difference in dispute was not
such a one as came within the meaning of the words
of the contract, which was intended for any difference
with respect to the quality of the wheat, and not any
deficiency of amount, and that it was a case in which
no action could be maintained.

The court was of opinion it was a case wherein an
action was maintainable, being one more for a jury than
the court, and that the defendant should have gone
before th. 4 arbitrator.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 17.--Ra,mazon com-
mencediast evening at set of sun. The observances
were of the usual kind. Tie mosques were illumi-
nated with all the skill for which the Orientals are
famous, and during all the night' the voice of mer-
riment and rejoicing was beard in the lanes of
Stamboul. The last falling as it now does in the
summer months is most oppressive to the strict
observer, who will not touch a, drop of water or
inhale a whiff of tobacco, during the hours which
elapse between the rising and setting of the sun.
The observance is doubly onerous at present,
as large bodies of Mussulmam are now em-
ployed by European Governments and individuals
who insist on continuous labour daring the greater
part of the day. The men engaged in baking bread
and roasting coffee for the Allied armies, and even
the workmen employedin the servile of the Turk-
ish fleet and army, are obliged to elert themselves
during the whole length of a summer's day with-
out rest or refreshment. However, all Mussulmans
insist on quitting their toil an hour before sunset,
so as to be at home when the sound of cannon an-
nounces the hour of deliverance from their long-
borne abstinence.

As soon as the Sultan hoard of the attempt which
had been made on the life of the Emperor Napoleon,
his Highnesssent to M. Benedetti, Chargt d'Affaires
of France, his felicitations on the escape of his Im-
perial ally.
According to letters from Erzeroum General
Williams was busy fortifying the city with earth
works, after the model whic has proved so effec-
tual at Silistria and Sebastopol. •

SADLER'S WELLS.

The attraction announced, for the Whitsun holidays
was the engagement of Mr. Wright for six nights only.
The performance clmtnenced with the Harvest Home,
and t,rminatpd with Did you ever send your Wife to

The denizens of the northern part of the metropolis will,
we venture to Fay, be well entertained by a visit to

CITY OF LONDON.
On Monday night the holiday folks mustered in great
force at this theatre, every nook and corner of it being
completely crammed before the rising of the curtain.
The performances commenced with the Robbers, followed
by the • celebrated drama of the Corsica's Brothers, in
both of which Mr. Charles Pitt sustained the principal
characters, The pieces were very creditably placed upon
the stage. •

MILITARY RIOT IN LIMERICK.—On Friday night the
city was thrown into a state of turmoil by scenes of out-
rage and violence betwten the men of the County Militia
and the soldiers of the provisional battalion, 'consisting
of the 9th, 19th, 39th, and 89th depots, stationed in the
garrisoiL: It appears that as a military picket, under
the command of Corporal Maguire, of the 89th, were
passing over the Matthew-bridge, some remarks of a dis-
paraging nature were made by a militiauriar, who was
standing there, and the picket placed him under arrest.
As they were marching him up George'e-street
numbers of boys continued hooting at the picket, which,
by the time of the arrival at the military walk, collected
a crowd of militiamen, who succeeded in rescuing the
prisoner. They threw volleys of stones at the picket,
who were obliged to run into barracks for protection.
Constable Doyle, who interfered for the restoration of
peace, received a blow of a stone in the cheek. The
police, under Major Caldwell, were called out. At the
police-office next day a car-driver named M'lnerney
was fined 11., or to be imprisoned .for a month, for
1 striking with a stone Corporal Maguire.

WINT3SH V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

The Vice• Chancellor gave judgment this morning in
this important case without calling upon Sir F. Kelly,
who was the leading counsel for the plaintiff, to reply
upon the whole of the arguments, which occupied the
court upwards of 16 days. From the reports we have
already given of the case our readers are aware that the
amount in dispute is upwards of a quarter of a million of
money, which the plaintiff, one of the contractors, claims
from the defendants, the Great Wester❑ Railway Com-
pany. The defendants disputing the plaintiff's claim, he
filed his bill for an account ; and in answer to that claim
the defendants asserted that the court had not j urisdiction,
and that the plaintiff ought to be left to his remedy in a
court of law. His Honour had most carefully con-
sidered all the authorities upon the subject, and after
that consideration was clearly of opinion that the court
had jurisdiction. It had been contended on the part
of the defendants that the court would not interfere un-
less fraud was proved, but his Honour was afraid that
the authorities would not support that view of the case.
There bad been enormous delay in this case somewhere.
The defendants, the Great Western Railway Company,
were the most powerful party, and, as had been
truly said of all public companies, they had no
conscience or any feeling or compunctions. It
was therefore the duty of the court to protect
the weak against the strong and powerful,, and in th•
discharge cf that duty he thought it incumbent upon
him to direct the account asked by the plaintiff. Consi-
dering the monstrous mass of evidence given in the cause,
the drawing up of the decree that he proposed to make
would be a gigantic task; but he was desirous that that
task should be performed as soon,as possible, in order
that the defendants might immediately, if it was their
intention to do so, appeal from it, and the plaintiff be
thereby relieved from the great anxiety that he must
have endured during the litigation which had lasted up-
wards of eight year?. The decree his Honour would
make wouid be to direct an inquiry for the purpose
of ascertaining and certifying whether anything,
and what, remained due to the plaintiff in
respect of the works executed by him, and the materials
supplied, or otherwise, under the several contracts, hav-
ing regard to their terms, and the circumstances under
which the plaintiff carried on the works. The effect
of this decree will be that, if the plaintiff proves the
accounts he has rendered to the satisfaction of the chief
clerk, he will establish his claim against the Great
Western Railway Company. It is generally supposed
that a decision in favour of a claim of such magnitude
will be carried by way of appeal at once to the House
of Lords'.
Nothing of any interest came before the Lords Jus-
tices, the Master of the Rolls, or the Vice-Chancellors
Kindersley and Wood, during the morning.
The Lords Justices of Appeal will sit with the Lord
Chancellor on Friday, to hear appeals.

The Invalide Russe publishes the following :

despatches already

"To complete the telegraph
published, we subjoin some detnils on the operations
before Sebastopol, borrowed from Prince GorLchakeff s
diary. of the events from the 24th to the 30th of April
(6th to the 12th of,,May.) _
" Under cover of their advanced trenches the be-
siegers have constructed batteries aninstßastions,4 and
5, against the Schwartz redoubt, and against the right
face of the Kamtschatka lunette. On our side we re-
pair and actively construct our fortifications nearer to
the works of the besiegers, and we are ere:Ail:lg new
batteries-on different points, so as to command their
• approaches.
"The losses which the enemy have occasioned to the
garrioion of Sebastopol have been far less in the last few
days than in the preceding ones. On the 28th of April
(IGth of May) we had only seven men killed an
wounded, and on the 29th of April (11th
men killed and 34 wounded

L:i) nine

" Among the separate affair; which have taken place
during the above interval Prince Gortschakoff mentions
the following :
" 'On the 27th of April (9th of May), we made a
little successful sortie from the Schwartz redoubt. On
this occasion we destroyed a portion of the most advaficed
Works of the enemy, and we cons:aucted an advantageous
waulement for a secret post.
" 'On the night between the 29th and 30th of April.
(11... th and 12th of May), under the direction of Lieu-
tena,nt GeneralChroulefF, 165 volunteers of the Okhotsk
RegiLuent of Infantry were sent to destroy the works of
the bastegers on the incline of the Green Marnelon ; four
companies of the same regiment were selected to support
the volunteers. A portion of this detachment, under
the orders of Lieutenant Itytoff, attacked the English
trenc-bes in front, while another, under Ensign Gavensky,
attacked them in the rear. The enemy withdrew in
great haste, abandoning their guns, many of which we
spikeid.' "

"Another telegraphic despatch from 'Sebastopol, dated
the 2d (14th) May, received via Kieff, ..from Aide-de-
Camp General Prince Gortschakoff, announces that on
the night between the let and 2(.1 of May (13th and 14th),
we made two little successful sortiew. The enemy fire
very little, and it is pre3utned they are making prepara-
tions to recommence tbe bombardment."

ABERDEEN THISTLE.—We are told by the historian of
the late drawing room that " the Earl of Aberdeen wore
among, other orders, the Thiale,' which his lordship
retains by special command of her Majesty." Perhaps
no statesmen more richly deserved the thistle, seeing
bow many thistles his policy has thrust in the pillows of
others. What a nosegay may history, Opheiia like, cull
for the noble earl from the grave grounds of the Crimea.
Rue and pansy for thoughts —and such thoughts ! Of
a verity the Earl of Aberdeen has earned a thistle of
some sort, though hardly the one called Carquus bens-
distus.—Panch.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Last night Grisi appeared in her great part—the
Druid priestess—in Bellini's opera of Norma. Great as
was the triumph she achieved, on her re-appearance, in
the character of Leonora, she did even more la,t night
—she raised the enthusiasm of her audience into a per-
fect furore. Tier performance from first to last was
admirable. The passionate vehemence of the first act,
exhibited in the grand scene when the erring Druidess
is made acquainted with the inconstancy of Yoffie, and
the varied and intense emotions of the las,t—from the
point where Norma, had she only been a priestess, would
have killed, but, being mere of a worn,n- spared her
children, to that where her uneelfi•h and heroic devotion
draws from the fickle Pollio the suggestive expression of
" Sublima donna!" and irresistibly compels him to share
her fate upon the pile—were expressed with a dramatic
power and intelligence seemingly as enduring in Grisi
as that personal beauty which up to the present moment
has defied time.' The grand passage in the trio—the
finale to the first act--,-when Norma reproaches Pullin
for his treachery, was encored with acclamation, and
at the end of both acts Grisi was recalled unanimously
before the curtain. Tamberlik's Pollio was, as usual,
beautiful ; and Zelger, who, in consequence of the ill-
ness of Formes, had undertaken the part of Oroveso at
an hour's notice, acquitted himself admirably.
The ballet of Eva, with the fascinating Cerito, con-
cluded the evening's entertainments. The house was
crowded to suffocation.

THE THEATRES.

STRAND.

The theatre-going public had on Whitsun-Mondav a
rare treat by the pr ,duction at this attractive little theatre
of the opera of La Sonnambula, in EnAsh—the firet of
a series to be brought out under the able management of
Miss Rebecca Isaacs. Two new singers made their
debut on the occasion, viz., Mr. F. Paget and Signor
Verini, who ably su,tained the respective characters of
Rodolpho and Elvina. Miss Rebecca Isaacs, in the
character of Amina, gave us another opportunity of wit-
nessing the tra iscendent powers of her highly accom-
plished voice. The choruses were well executed ; and,
consider-4,g the necessarily-limited resources of this tiny
troupe, the performance as a whole deserved the greatest
credit. Two farces concluded the evening's entertain-
ments. Although the theatre was densely crowded, not
the least inconvenience was felt by any one, owing to
the excellent arrangements of Mr. Payne, the acting
manager.
London, England, 1855-05-30

SADLER'S WELLS.

The attraction ann,punced for the Whitsun holidays
was the engagement off Mr. Wright for six nights only.
The performance commenced with the Harvest Home,
and terminated with Did you ever send your Wife to
Camberwell? lily Precious Betsy being the interlude.
The denizens of the northern part of the metropolis will,
we venture to say, be well entertained by a visit to
Sadler's Wells during Wright's engagement.

. CITY OF LONDON.
On Monday night the holiday folks mustered in great
force at this theatre, every nook and corner of it being
completely crammed before the rising of the curtain.
The performances commenced with the Robber; followed
by the celebrated drama of the Corsican. Brothers, in
both of which Mr. Charles Pitt sustained the principal
characters. The pieces were very creditably placed upon
the stage.

MILITARY RIOT IN LIIIRRICK.—On Friday night the
city was thrown into a state of turmoil by scenes of out-
rage and violence between the men of the County Militia
and the soldiers of the provisional battalion, consisting
of the 9th, 19th, 39th, and 89th depots, stationed in the
garrison. It appears that as a military picket, under
the command of Corporal Maguire, of the 89th, were
passing over the Matthew-bridge, some remarks of a dis-,
paraging nature were made by a militiaman, who was
standing there, and the picket placed him under arrest.
As they were marching him up George's-street
numberg of boys continued booting at the picket, which,
by the time of the arrival at the military walk, collected
a crowd of militiamen, who succeed6d in rescuing the
prisoner. They threw volleys of stones at the picket,
who were obliged to run into barracks for protection.
Constable Doyle, who interfered for the restoratio❑ of
peace, received a blow of a stone in the cheek. The
police, under Major Caldwell, were called out. At the
police-office .next day a car-driver named M'lnerney
was fined • or to be imprisoned for a month, for
striking *itli a stone Corporal Maguire.

MARKET NEWS-(T111,8 DAM.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The show of wheat in to-day's market was but moderate,
and almost wholly the refus3 of Monday's supply. The
demand was somewhat inactive, yet factors were tolerably
firm in their demands, and the quotations were supported.
We had an increased supply of foreign wheat on offer.
Selected samples realised extensive rates ; but inferior
parcels were dull, and the turn lower.

Barley and malt moved off slowly at late rates. The
supplies were m( derately good.
We had a dull sale for oats, the prices of which were
rather easier.

Beans, peas, and flour were held at full quotations.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The last three representations of Les Cosaques by the
talented artistes from the Theatre de Ia Gaite will posi-
tively take place this week—viz., to-night, Thursday,
and Saturday. It is much to be regretted that the conge
granted was for so limited a period ; but we can well
imagine the void created in the Parisian capital by the
absence of these clever artistes. To those who have not
yet visited Drury-lane Theatre an opportunity still exists
to witness one of the most extraordinary performances
ever placed before the public.
