NEW MUSIC,

Mr. J. 11. Jewell, of Great Russell-street, has
just published a variety of new music of the most
tasteful description. Amongst this latest addition
to compositions for the pianoforte is " The Sandle
Tree," a sacred song by Mrs. Boisragon, which will
be sure to be most readily welcomed, It is set in the
key of A, and is one unbroken flow of pure and
delicious melody from beginning to end. " The
Day of Rest" is another beautiful song of the same
description, the words being by Mr. Jewell and the
music by Mr. S. Glover. "Le Clair D'Etoiles,"
by Mr. James Freeman, is really and truly a
"Mazurka Brilliante," and one that certainly ought
to become universally popular. As a specimen of
dance music it is without exception one of the best
things that has come under our attention for a long
time. " The Fairy Fountain Walses," by Edouard
Frewin, we like much better than the "Guards,"
because in the former there is a most inviting strain
running throughout the whole of them, whilst in
the latter the catching " bit" is merely in the first
movement.

GREAT FIRE IN THE ClTY.—Early this morning
a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Worms, a carpenter,
situated in New-street and St. Andrew's-hill, City, which
placed the lives of 50 or 60 persons in peril and destroyed
avast amount of property.

"The German nation strives for more thorough
union. This is offered by Prussia, but upon condi-
tion of the surrender of all individual independence.
This price is too high, and is repulsive to the na-
tional feeling of single States ; such an union could
only be brought about about by blood and the sword.
For this Bismarck possesses, if the will, assuredly
not the strength, so soon as the remainder of Ger-
many awakes from its lethargy and unites for
powerful action. But in order to impart the neces-
sary moral force to such an union—for bayonets
alone would certainly not suffice—the German
nation must be taken into alliance, the magnanimous
idea of Francis Joseph must be carried out, and a
Parliament be convoked at Frankfort, no matter
with, or without, or against Prussia.
" The name matters nought. Let such a repre-
sentation be called an Assembly of Delegates, a
Parliament, or a Diet, it still remains a means of
binding together the body of the German nation,
torn for centuries. But we would appeal right
seriously to the heart of the deciding elements to
shake themselves free from the erroneous fancy that
patriotism has its seat in the purse and political un-
derstanding in the tongue. Our present Parlia-
mentary speakers will not save Germany ; that task
is reserved for the mass of the nation—more patriotic
feeling and self-sacrificing devotion exists among
the lowest ranks of the people tha n in that class
which always calculate by thalers and groschen.
We want the Lower Ilouse upon the broadest foun-
dation, and as required by the Constitution of 1849,
an Upper House by its side as moderator.
"This is the way and the means to meet the
Prussian attack with success, without being com-
pelled to have recourse to ' blood and the sword.'
If Austria is allied with the middle and minor
States, and both are united with the German nation,
Bismark will think twice in face of this tri-lateral
before he drives matters to the utmost. In presence
of the German Diet--and this be our last thought
--no coalition Ministry will be able to use that lan-
guage to which a mere 'Prussian Chamber of Depu-
ties was forced to listen. Even the Prussian people,
which we love, and known as forming a sturdy
branch of the great German oak, will then be as-
sisted to its rights, and this not at Berlin, but at
Frankfort ; not by the grace of a pietistic absolu-
tism, but by the mighty voice of the representatives
of German Princes and peoples, and by the decision
of a German Imperial supreme tribunal."

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before Sir J. P. Wilde, and a Special Jury.)
JONES V. WILLIAMS AND OTHERS.

This was a suit for proving in solemn form the will and
five codicils of Francis Williams. The defendants opposed
on the ground that the testator at the time of the execu-
tion of the will and codicils was not of sound disposing
mind.

This great Worcestershire will case, which has occupied
the Court and eleven of tho leading members for two days,
came to a sudden termination to-day.
At the conclusion of the case on the part of the plaintiff,
a consultation took place between the learned gentlemen
instructed in the case, tho result of which was, that

Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., informed his lordship that an
arrangement had been come to on certain terms, to a
portion of which the consent of the Court of Chancery was
necessary, and, pending that, ho had to ask that the suit
might be adjourned until Wednesday week.

Sir H. Cairns said he consented to the arrangement. He
had no doubt the consent of the Court of Chancery would
be given, and then the trial could be resumed pro forma
and probate of the will granted.
Upon that understanding the proceedings were ad
journod.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE COL. WAUGH.-DISMISSAL OF THE PETITION.

In this matter, which has been before the court on three
or four occasions, under the new bankruptcy proceeding;
the bankrupt was opposed by Mr. Bagley on behalf of Lord
Garvagh, who had been a brother officer with Colonel
Waugh.
His Honour referred at some length to the accounts
filed by the bankrupt, and could not lose sight of the fact
that in them Col. Waugh had persisted in omitting the
debt claimed by Lord Garvagh. Under these circumstances,
and looking at all the facts, tfie Court felt bound to dismiss
the petition.
Mr. Robertson Griffiths, for the bankrupt, asked that the
amount of the deposit might be reduced, in order that an
appeal might be made to a higher tribunal.

his Honour refused.
(Before Mr. Hazlitt.)
IN RE C. SEYTON-A COMEDIAN'S TROUBLES.

This bankrupt was the well-known comedian, and,
though his debts are of small amount, his troubles are
somewhat touching. Perhaps the file of the proceedings
in this court never contained a more moving reason for a
bankruptcy. It was " being out of an engagement, and the
death of some of my children." To-day was appointed for
the proof of debts.

The Naval Committee on ships' cooking apparatus
—consisting of Capt. Francis Scott, C. 8., and
Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, commanding her Ma-
jesty's ship Victory ; Capt. John Seccombe, her
Majesty's ship Duke of Wellington ; Capt. Thomas
B. Lethbridge, her Majesty's ship Himalaya, have
closed their report on this subject, and for-
warded it to the Admiralty. The chief labours of
the committee have been confined to Portsmouth
Dockyard, but they have also visited the esta-
blishments of private manufacturers of the dif-
ferent firehearths in London and Glasgow, and
have otherwise sought to obtain the best in-
formation. The report recommends a complete
change in the form of cooking apparatus on board
her Majesty's ships, and also in the mode of its sup-
ply by the private manufacturer to the Admiralty.
It appears that for the past 60 years the firehearths
on board her Majesty's ships, which arc exceedingly
cumbrous and built up of wrought and cast iron,
have been supplied exclusively by one firm at Glas-
gow at so much per lb. avoirdupois. This arrange-
ment the committee condemn for many reasons.
They recommend that so injurious a monopoly
should be at once abolished, and the future supply
of firehearths thrown open to the public, so that
the crews of her Majesty's ships may have the ad-
vantage of the best possible apparatus. In referring
to the large stock of the Glasgow pattern firehearth
still on hand in her Majesty's dockyards, the com-
mittee refer to the cost as paid by the Admiralty
under the present system, to their deficient baking
capacity, to their cumbrousness and weight, and to
their great consumption of fuel. Under the head
of " conversion" the committee, in referring to the
attempts that have been made to improve the Glas-
gow firehearth by giving it additional baking capa-
city, deprecate any further attempt in that direc-
tion on the ground that the form of the firehearth
is altogether unsuitable for use in ships, and that
any further attempt to improve it would be unad-
visable, as involving a useless waste of public money.
The iron screw frigate Minotaur, 6,621 tons,
1,350 horse power, Capt. Herbert (protein.), manned
from her Majesty's ships Excellent and Royal Sove-
reign, and with two 12-ton guns mounted in broad-
side carriages on her main deck, went out of Ports-
mouth harbour yesterday, and anchored at Spit-
head, preparatory to commencing her experimental
course of practice and drill with the 12-ton guns off
the east end of the Isle of Wight. The ship is ex-
pected to make her first smooth-water cruise to-
day. Capt. Key, C. 8., of her Majesty's ship Ex-
cellent, and Governor of the Royal Naval College,
will have sole charge of the gunnery course, Capt.
Herbert being only in charge of the ship during the
time the experiments are being carried on.

EXTRAORDINARY AND PAINFUL CASE.—On Mon-
day Captain Tenneut, of Rushpark, was arrested
undor a warrant, charged with having assaulted Captain
Delacherois, J.H„ his brother-in-law, at Donaghadee, on
the preceding day (Sunday). About 12 months since Mr.
Delacherois was married to Miss Tennent, and they lived
to all appearance happily together for some months.
Gradually, however, differences arose between them. On
Thursday week Mrs. Delacherois and her husband were
driving from Donaghadee to their residence, when the
latter, as is stated, acted in such a manner that Mrs. Dela-
cherois jumped off the car, and placed herself under the
protection of an officer of Coastguard, who, after some
difficulty, effected a reconciliation. Mrs. Delacherois sub-
sequently complained to her brother, who drove from his
father's residence to that of his brother-in-law, Captain
Harrison, J.P., with whom ho went to Donaghadee. He
drove to Ballywilliam Cottage, and, leaving Captain Har-
rison with the car upon the road, ho walked up to the cot-
tage and obtained an interview with Captain Dela-
cherois. Both gentlemen retired to a parlour; and, once
Captain Delacherois was inside, Captain Tennent closed
the doors, and charged him with ill-treating Mrs. Dela-
cherois. The discussion waxed warm. Captain Tennent
carried with him a walking stick, and with it he commenced
a furious attack upon Mr. Delacherois, beating him about
the head and face in a shocking manner. The blood flowed
copiously from the injured gentleman, who soon fell from
exhaustion, and became perfectly insensible. This was
only the work of a few moments. The servants in the
house were not aware of the attack on their master till it
was over. Captain Tennent then left the house, rejoined
Captain Harrison, and drove towards Belfast. Immedi-
ately after Captain Tennent loft Captain Delacherois was
found lying on the floor covered with blood. Dr. Cather-
wood and Dr. Moore were in attendance as speedily as
possible, and tho wounds were seen to be of a serious
nature. Intelligence of the affair was sent to the police
barracks, and shortly after Mr. M‘Minn, J.P., accompanied
by sergeant Hicke, visited the cottage. Captain Delache-
rois then made an information, stating that Captain Ten-
nant had beaten him, not only with a stick, but with the
poker, and kicked him when he was prostrate. Capt. Ten-
nent was soon arrested, and, bail being refused by the
magistrates, ho was conveyed in the custody of the police
to Downpatrick gaol.—Belfast News Leiter.

Mr. Toole's benefit last night was really and truly
a " bumper." Every seat in the theatre was occu-
pied previous to the rising of the curtain, and num-
bers of Mr. Toole's admirers, rather than debar
themselves the pleasure of "assisting" on the occa-
sion of his benefit, occupied that peculiarly unplea-
sant portion of the theatre, viz., " standing room."
The performances commenced with the farce of the
" Mother and Child arc Doing Well," in which, as
Felix Fluffy, the be'n(!ficiaire convulsed the house
with laughter. This was followed by a new two-act
play by Mr. Walter Gordon, entitled, " Through
Fire and Water," a piece which is chiefly to be com-
mended for the opportunity it affords to Mr. Toole
to appear in a somewhat novel part, which the plays
with admirable ability. The character in question
is Joe Bright, a London fireman, a fellow of honest
heart and rugged good nature, but of an ardent and
impulsive temper, who, having saved a little girl from
death by fire, takes her home, adopts, and educates
her, and when she grows to womanhood falls over
head and ears in love with her. She of course turns
out to be a lady of birth and fortune, but long before
this delightful discovery is made she loses her heart
irretrievably to Joe, to whom she is in secret quite
as fondly attached as he is to her ; but the lovers, as
often happens both on the stage and in real life, play A
cross purposes. They misunderstand one another,
and hence a variety of dangers and dilemmas/
but all turns out happily in the end, as Joe marries
Ruth, and Honor Bright, Joe's true and loving sister,
also secures the hand of her lover, who proves to be
no other than Ruth's lost brother. The part of Joe
Bright, the fire-brigade man, is one of those natural
creations in which Mr. Toole is unrivalled, viz., the
sudden transformation of anhonest decent man into
a truculent brute, who, under the maddening im-
pulse of drink and jealousy, outrages all the pro-
prieties of life and is ready to tear his best friend
to pieces for any or no cause. This character affords
ample occasion for the display of the artist's his-
trionic powers, which are exhibited as conspicuously
in the comic as in the tragic passages. The cha-
racter of Honor Bright affords opportunities also to
Mrs. Mellon for some charmingly characteristic
acting. Miss Simms was interesting as Ruth, and
Mr. Billington, as the good-humoured lover, Mr.
Phillips, as the villain, and Mr. Ashley, did all that
could be done for their respective parts. The piece
was a complete success, and no doubt it will form
one of the great attractions of Mr. Toole's provin-
cial tour.
