DOLMAN.

Several excellent papers are contained in the pre-
sent number of this magazine ; the most remarkable
amongst all being the very logical argument by
Mr. Jerniogham on a passage introduced into his
history by Mr. Macaulay. The article demands
perusal. The same industrious contributor has an
agreeable chapter, headed "Byeways in Belgium"—
his previous effusion being termed "Fallacy and
Fact." The " Catholic at Sea," is continued as well
as another serial on "Religious Houses." Neither is
the miscellaneous intelligence without its interest.

HAYDN.

The Prince von Esterhazy wits at 611 arm a munificent
patron sod sincere friend of Haydn, and exemplified it
on many occasions. Twice was Haydn's residence at
Eisscnstdt consumed by lire, and twice did the Prince
cause it to be rebuilt selely at his own expense, so that
had it not been for this generous noble, Haydn would
not only have possessed no home, but lacked the slightest
article of furniture. But the benevolence of the Prince
did not cease with the re-edification of his dwelling, for
he also replaced till the composer's lost furniture, linen,
household utensils. &c., in fact everything which had
been destroy ed, deputing Pleyel, the favourite pupil of
Haydn, to attend to their entire reinstatement according
to the most minute wish of his unfortunate friend. And
Pleyel proved the most affectionate of and was as
active end zealous in the execution of this trust as his
muster could wish. When tho second conflagration oc-
curred Haydn WAS at some dissince on a particular
mission, and so expeditious had been his patron's kind-
ness, that, except for the new appearance of his house,
Haydn would scarcely have noticed that anything had
occurred, and that it had been burned down and rebuilt.
His feelings of gratitude were, however, mingled with
bitter regrets that he had lost the only copy he had made
of his Armida. and this 1053 he bewailed as one of the
greatest he had ever endured. With pa'pable traces of
confusion, and after much hesitation, Pleyel at length
confessed that he had clancicstintly made a copy for his
own private use, and which now he would feel happy iu
restoring to the right'ul possessor. Haydn soon forgeiv.
his pupil, and on, receiving the promised copy, his joy
was complute.

MOZART.
We all know the deep devotion, the passionate adora-
tion—the poetry of love which this
glorious musician
entertained for his wife Constance. And althong,h,
he
it
was what the world called "an imprudent ma rciinheir
never repented this important step. Soon .
marriage, and while a young were at
increasing
aroundthem they fell into embarrassments Match
neither could have furfteen. The Emperor Joseph one
day, addressing Mozart, inquired, " Why did you not
marry a rich wife, Mozart?" " Sire," replied the latter,
with that di unity of manner and manly independence of
character which formed such distinguishing traits in his
disposition, "Sire! I hope that my genius—at least my
exertions—will always support the woman I love."

CORELLI.

Of this famous musician an amusing anecdote is related
as (xemplitying the vein of good-humoured wit he pos-
sessed and, more than that, his readiness to acknowledge
talent in others. Adam Strunck, chief violinist to the
Elector of Hanover, on a visit he paid to Rome, imme-
oiaiely, to fulfil one of the chief objects of his journey,
paid Corelli a v6it. The latter being unacquainted with
his person received him with the courtesy which was
customary to be evinced towards strangers, but without
inquiring his name. In the course of the convei ration
which ensued he learned that his visitor was a musician,
and required on what instrument he performed. "A
little on the harpsichord and violin," replied Strunck
modestly, at the came time begging the favour that
Corelli would let him hear his performance on the latter
instrument. With this request Corelli complied, and on
laying aside his violin requested a similar favour on the
port of Strunck. The stranger commenced pl tying,
hut at first carelessly, yet sufficiently well as to induce
Corelli to compliment him on the freedom of his bowing.
The latter wound up his praises by saying that " with
practice he would become an excellent player." Strunck
then, with a strange glittering of the eye, unscrewed the
pegs of the violin so as to put it out of tune. He then
began to play with the most consummate skill, correcting
moat marvellously the notes on the mistuned instrument
till Corelli, amazed at such a display, exclaimed, "Why,
what is this I hear? they call me Arcangelo, but if I
am so, by heaven, sir, you must be Arcidiavolo."

WEBER.
What a sublime incide,a is recorded of this high-
souled musician. A grander ,:nd more imposing sentence
was never uttered from the mouth of even rho divinely-
inspired Luther. SAne vocalists who were pinging a
hymn in praise of the Great Creator of All Things were
vociferating with all the strength their lungs could boast.
" flush! hush!" interrup!ed Weber, holding up the palm
of his hand—" hush! would you sing to loud if you were
in the pretence of God?"

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Ti;ere are reports that accounts had been received
at Copenhagen of a serious affair, near Silkeborg,
between German and Danish troops, but no details
have reached the city.
A letter from Hamhurgh, of the 4th, addressed
to the Inde:pendance of Brussels, says—`• The Cham-
ber of Representatives or the Duchies of Schleswig-
Rutstein has just resolved, after several days' irri-
tating debate, to adopt an address to the Provi-
sional Regency, declaring that peace will never
he possible with Denmark if its fundamental bast.%
be not the indissoluble union of Schleswig with
Holstein, and the complete fusion of the two
Duchies; that their annexation to the other States of
the Germanic Empire must be irrevocable, and such as
was reorganized and guaranteed by the Diet of Frank-
fort ; that it will never give its adhesion to any ar-
rangement whatsoever so long as there shall exist the
least administrative or political relation between the
two duchies and the King of Denmark ; that it calls
on the regency to employ all the public resources of
the nation for carrying on the war with more decision
and energy than ever; and that it insists on having
envoys appointed to take part in negotiations for
peace. This proceeding of the Chamber compro-
mises all the hopes which had been formed of an
amical arrangement, and paralyses all the schemes of
arbitration discussed at London, Frankfort, and
Berlin. All is again placed in doubt, and another
year may pass away without the settlement of the
question, thereby causing incalculable losses to all
Germany."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, July 7.
(Bitting& in London, b-fore Mr. Juitice WIGHTJIAN and
a Special Jury.)

SARTORD V. THE LEGAL AND COMMERCIAL FIRE

ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

The hearing of thts case was resumed this morning.
The defendants' evidence called this morning was
directed to show that there were strong reasons for sus-
pecting that the fire had been occasioned by the procure-
ment of the plaintiff. The point of this evidence was,
that a man was seen coining out of the house at the time
of the fire, that the house was, nevertheless, locked up,
that the lock was a Chubb leek, and, therefore, not
easily opened, and that the key was in the possession of
the plaintiff's servant. With respect to the property in
the house, a great many witnesses deposed that, from
what remained after the fire, it was not of the best sort
of trade materials, and that it did not exist in such qtian-
titles as to justify the amount claimed for the loss. The
Witnesses generally stated the amount at about 400/. It
Was farther proved that, a little time before the fire, the
plaintiff was pressed for money, and had been sued for
very small sums.
Mr. Sergeant SUEE replied.
Mr. Justice WIOHTMAN told the jury that the ques-
tions to be considered were—first, whether there was
evidence to support the plea that the fire hal occurred
by the procurement of the plaintqf ; and, secondly,
whether the claim sent in so greatly exceeded the real
value of the goods on the premises at the time of the
fire as to amount to a fraudulent claim. If the first
question was answered in the affirmative, there was an
end of the else; if in the negative, then the second
question would come to be considered. If the claim was
fraudulent, then, according to the terms of the policy,
the plaintiff could not recover. If it was not fraudulent,
the verdict must be in his favour.
The jury retired forsoree time, and then brought in a
finding that the plaintiff did not procure the house to be
set on fire, and on that issue found a verdict for the
plaintiff. As to the other issue, the jury found that the
claim was a fraudulent claim, and on that issue the ver-
dict was for the insurance company.

THE ART OF SINGING.

Sir John Hawkins, in his valuable and elaborate work,
"A G ?neral History of the Science and Practice of
Music" (5 vols. Co., 1776), informs us, "Formerly there
were in London many masters who taught the practice
of singing by syllables. The profession is alluded to in
some of the comedies written about the time of Charles
the Second. But singing follows so naturally the smallest
degree of proficiency on any instrument that the learning
of both is unnecessary; and, in fact, those that teach the
harpsichord are now the only singing masters that we
know of except a few illiterate professors who travel
about the country and teach psalmody by the notes at
such rates as the lower sort of peoFle are able to pay."
Thus proving that the existing genus—the species, if such
terms m•ty be used—of vocal professors are only of some-
what recent date.

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

Intelligence has AbeeljnBreTeeßivledAirom Vienna to the
28th ult. Austria has demanded Russian intervention
in the affairs of Hungary, and must therefore hence-
forth be considered in the light of a Russian province,
and not of a German Power. The Emperor of
RUSSIA will, it is said, publish a manifesto explaining
his motives for interfering. A letter from Vienna says,
that " the intervention of Russia in Hungary had
been determined on. The first detachment of troops
had crossed the frontiers of Buckowine. General
LUDERS had received :his last instructions on the
subject."
From Czernowitz (Buckowine) we learn that so
long ago as the 19th April a courier had passed
through that town from Olmutz, praying that
General LUDEES would send a considerable auxiliary
Russian corps to the aid of Austria. This corps
was destined for Transylvania. It would enter at
three points—near Cronstadt, near the pass of
Rethenthurm, and by Buckowine, by which last
passage 20,000 men would enter, 30,000 taking the
other passages.
By news two days later from Czernowitz, we are
informed that 5,000 Russians had arrived at Dorna
Negri, beyond the frontier of Buckowine. Urban is
with 16 companies of infantry on this side of the
frontier. Major-General Fischer occupies the de-
files of the Carpathian Mountains of the Circle of
Kolomes. General PUCIINER, after his recovery,
will be placed at the head of a division in the Banat.
The Hungarian successes continue.
The Cologne Gazette of the Ist of May contains
numerous documents respecting the evacuation of
Peeth by the Imperialists, its occupation by the Hun-
garians, and the position of the Imperial army. It
appears that in the Best instance WELDER had deter.
mined upon the evacuation of Olen, but he has again
changed his plan, and has resolved to maintain the
city. He has issued a proclamation, in which lie calls
upon the inhabitants:to supply themselves with a stock
of provisions for two months. Ofen was completely
occupied by the Imperial troops on the evening of the
22J, and large bodies of troops of the line er tered it on
the 231. The I iungarians, after having driven back
the Imperial troops veho surrounded them at Comore,

Cochineal—There has been no recent importation of
this article, and the market continues bare of stock. A
large quantity is, however, on the way out, chiefly be-
longing to natives, who are freely offering it on sale to
arrive, at our quotations, but only a few thousand pounds
have been disposed of. The dealers are not now willing
to give so high a price; and as our season is advancing,
we do not expect the present quotation will be main-
tained. _ _

Saffron—A sale of 3001 b. is reported at 13r. per lb.
Since then 8401 b. have been imported by the last
steamer; and as further large importations are antici-
pated by future steamers, dealers have become more
cautious, and the market remains ♦ery dull, our quota-
tions being merely nominal.
Marine Stores—Canvass, both bleached and brown, as
as also sewing twine, spirits of turpentine, and linseed
oil are in good demand. For paints and cordage a steady
inquiry exists.
Beer—None of Allsopp's last October brew has as yet
reached this market, but we observe that sales in it have
had effect at Calcutta at 85r. per hogshead. Arrivals
of this celebrated brew are now daily looked for here,
where it will, we doubt not, command high prices. Bass's
is reported to have been sold to the extent of 100 hogs-
heads, at 60r.

Spiiits—Both brandy and gin in wood are in steady
demand.
Woollens—Fine qualities are scarce, and much
wanted; low and middling are not much inquired after,
and stocks continue light.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills an Excellent
Remedy for Coughs, Colds, Pulmonary Complaints and other
Diseases of the Chest.—Mr. J. C. Rheinhardt, chemist of
Hull, states, that Mr. Stinger, formerly of the Hull glass
works, was pronounced to be far gone in consumption ' • the
medical men had given him up as incurable. On seeing Hol-
loway's Pills advertised, he thought he would give them a trial,
and after taking a few boxes his cough abated, his flesh became
firm, his appetite improved, and now his health is completely
restored. This admirable medicine is a certain remedy for the
most obstinate cases of asthma, old coughs, recent colds, and
all diseases of the chest and lungs.—Sold by all Druggists and
at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.

Intelligence has been received from Vienna to the
28th ult. Austria has demanded Russian intervention
in the affairs of Hungary, and must therefore hence-
forth be considered in the light of a Russian province,
and not of a German Power. The Emperor of
RUSSIA will, it is said, publish a manifesto explaining
his motives for interfering. A letter from Vienna says,
that " the intervention of Russia in Hungary had
been determined on. The first detachment of troops
had crossed the frontiers of Buckowine. General
LUDERS had received :his last instructions on the
subject."
From Czernowitz (Buckowine) we learn that so
long ago as the 19th April a courier had passed
through that town from Olmutz, praying that
General LUDERS would send a considerable auxiliary
Russian corps to the aid of Austria. This corps
was destined for Transyll ania. It would enter at
three points—near Cronstadt, near the pass of
Rothenthurm, and by Buckowine, by which last
passage 20,000 men would enter, 30,000 taking the
other passages.
By news two days later from Czernowitz, we are
informed that 5,000 Russians had arrived at Dorna
Negri, beyond the frontier of Buckowine. Urban is
with 16 companies of infantry on this side of the
frontier. Major-General Fischer occupies the de-
files of the Carpathian Mountains of the Circle of
liolomes. General Pucnisint, after his recovery,
will be placed at the head of a division in the Banat.
The Hungarian successes continue.
The Cologne Gazette of the Ist of May contains
numerous documents respecting the evacuation of
Pesth by the Imperialists, its occupation by the Hun-
garians, and the position of the Imperial army. It
appears that in the first instance 'WELDEN had deter-
mined upon the evacuation of Ofen, but he has again
changed his plan, and has resolved to maintain the
city. He has issued a proclamation, in which he calls
upon the inhabitants:to supply themselves with a stock
of provisions for two months. Ofen was completely
occupied by the Imperial troops on the evening of the
22d, and large bodies of troops of the line entered it on
the 23d. The Hungarians, after having driven back
the Imperial troops who surrounded them at Comorn,
with amazing energy, and considerably strengthened
the garrison, supplying the fortresses with ammuni-
tion and provisions, which will last them for a long

ITALY•

The following is the reply of the Grand Duke of
TUSCANY to the communication addressed to him at
Gaeta by,the Governmental Commission of Florence :
" Your letter has given me the greater satisfaction as
it conveyed to me the agreeable news that the Tuscan
people had shaken off the yoke of a faction, small but
bold, to return to the paternal sway of him who had go-
verned them for; five-and-twenty years. The Tuscans
may be assured that such as I have been hitherto I shall
continue to be. Their happiness shall be my constant
study, and no sacrifice on my part shall he wanting to
effect that result. Communicate, signors, to the Tuscans
the sentiments I have expressed towards them, and be
assured that the moment I shall receive from you more
decisive information, I shall be prepared to resume the
reins of government.
" April 20
. _ LEoroLD."

Leghorn bad not surrendered on the 23d ult. A
Committee of defence had been appointed, and the
people were all arming themselves.
It had been intended to oppose the landing of the
French troops at Civita Vecchia, and it was not until
after the publication of the following proclamation
that the Governor suffered them to land without re-
sistance :
" DECLARATION OP THE PRENCH EXPEDITIONARY DIVI-
SION TO THE PRESIDENT OF CIVITA VECCHIA.

" The Government of the French Republic, always
animated with a spirit of liberty, declares that it will
respect the will of the Romish population, and that its
object is friendly, and to suport its legitimate influence.
It is further determined not to impose on the popula-
tion any particular form of government which shall not
be chosen by the people.
" As regards' the government of Civita Vecchia, the
authorities retain their just power. The French Go-
vernment will provide for its troops, and pay in ready
money for all that it may require.
(Signed) "EIPrVENT,
" Aide-de-Camp to the Commander-in-Chief.
"Civita Vecchia, April 24, 1849."
The President, on receiving this document, pub-
lished an answer, in which he says that he relies on the
loyalty of France, bat that should the Romans be de-
ceived, they would appeal to the judgment of Europe.
A courier was instantly sent to Rome, to inform the Go-
vernment of the intention of the French troops to de-
bark. Orders were instantly transmitted from Rome to
prevent the expedition from debarking, and to resist by
force a single soldier putting his foot on the Romish
States. Before this order was received at Civita Vecchia
the French troops had debarked, and had planted the
French and Roman flag on the top of the tree of liberty.
It is now said that 1,100 Roman troops are march-
ing on Civita Vecchia, with orders to blockade the town.
London, England, 1849-05-03

FRANKFORT.

On the 29th ult. the committee of thirty met, and
requested the attendance of the Imperial Ministry.
The latter, in part, obeyed the invitation, and urged
the committee to abstain from all decisive motions,
at least until the 3d of May, the day fixed by the
Parliament for the earliest Ministerial proposals.
At the same time the Minister of War stated that
he had summoned to him the chief officers of the
troops at present quartered in Frankfort, and
both the Prussians and Austrians had pledged
their word of honour that they would look for order
to the Central Power only.

REFUSAL OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA
TO ACCEPT THE IMPERIAL CROWN
OF GERMANY.
The King of Paussia has sent a decided refusal
to accept the Imperial diadem. His MAJESTY, in a
letter to the Prussian Plenipotentiary at Frankfort,
declares his definitive and decided refusal, under any
circumstances, to accept the proffered dignity.,s4m-
sterdam Courant, May 2.
London, England, 1849-05-03

PRUSSIA.

Berlin was perfectly tranquil on the SOth. A new
electoral law was about to be promulgated, which
would greatly restrict the franchise.
At Cologne, on the Ist May, the burgherverein
held an extraordinary sitting, in which the following
declaration was adopted almost unanimously :
" The burgherverein declares that the Prussian Mi-
nistry has not onl7 shown itself incapable of carrying
the German question to a happy termination, but has
even opposed the wishes expressed by the Prussian
nation; that a solution can only be found in the imme-
diate acceptance of the Constitution voted by the Na-
tional Assembly, and of the dignity of Chief of the
Empire founded upon that Constitution."
The burgherverein then decided that this resolu-
tion should be communicated to the council, urging
them to send a deputation to the KING, and inviting
them to call upon all the communal councils of
Prussia to meet in a general congress at Cologne.
Acting upon this advice, the Communal Council of
Cologne has addressed the following invitation to all
the communes of the Rhenish provinces :
" The important political position of Germany has
induced the Communal Council to decide upon forming
a general congress of all the communal councils of the
Rhenish provinces, for the purpose of expressing the
results of their deliberations in a common address to the
King.
" Saturday, May s,at nine o'clock in the morning,
the deputies of the various communal councils invested
with full powers, are requested to meet in the hall at
Cologne."

CopErrnA.Garr, Antu, 26.—The Flpeposten says,
" The moment is probably not far distant when the
Germans will learn with dismay what it is to pay a
visit to the peninsula of Jutland." It then goes on to
state that assistance will certainly arrive, for the eyent
had occurred which the King of SWJDEN had fixed
as the condition upon which the warriors of Sweden
should unite with those of Denmark in opposing the
encroaching plans of Germany.

PRUSSIA.
The Stcutte Anzeiger publishes a letter from the
Prussian Government to the Prussian Plenipotentiary
at the Court of his Highness the Regent, in which
the King of Prussia's Government makes a final and
positive declaration respecting the hereditary Imperial
dignity, as offered by the Frankfort Parliament,
which it refuses to accept. This Prussian document
(a translation of which will appear in a later number)
bears the date of the 28th ult. It is signed by the
Prussian Premier, the Count Brandenburg.
