QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco )
BRUTE V. EISENBERG.
This was an application to set aside a distringas,
and an execution thereon, on the ground of irregularity.
The form of the rule set forth that the plaintiff, in
obtaining the distringas, had done so at his peril.
The defendant, his wife, a Mr. Peter Diamond, and
Chambers, one of defendant's servants, deposed in
affidavits that when the distringas was issued on the
Learned Judge's order, he (defendant) was out of the
country, on the continent, and that the Learned Judge
' must therefore have been deceived in the affidavits on
which he issued his order.
The plaintiff, a Mr. Ilooper, Davis, a sheriff's
officer, and others, made affidavits on the other hand,

deposing to their belief that defendant was at the
time in question in the country.
The affidavits on both sides were of the most
conflicting character. The Court remarked that the
matter WAS so important as to require their considera-
tion, and postponed judgment for that purpose.
The Attorney• General, Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr.
Lush showed cause against the rule; Sir F.
Thesi-
ger, Mr. Whateley, Q C., Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., and
Mr. Bramwell, appeared in support cf it.
William Muggeridge, Edward Flouler, Thomas
Price, and James Garner, three persons attired in
the garb of sailors, were brought up to receive the sen-
tence of the Court fur resisting Custom-house officers
in the execution of their duty, who bad endeavoured to
prevent them from carrying on their nefarious duty as
smugglers at Portsmouth. The officers were most
grossly assaulted, and one of them had his jaw broken.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE addressed the Court in
mitigation of damages.
The ATTORIYET•GENEfAL replied; and showed the
conduct of the prisoners to have been of the worst
kiad.

They were respectively sentenced to eights en
months' imprisonment and hard labour in the South-
ampton county gaol.
IN THE MATTER OF MR. COLLETT.
The COURT declined to accede to the motion of
Mrs. Collett for a habeas corpus to bring up her
husband, on the ground that he had been repeatedly
brought up on the same grounds, and urged the same
arguments, which had been satisfactorily disposed of.

Tits lIAGUB, Nov. 21.—The Staats Courant of
this day publishes a notice by M. VAN Bosss, the
Minister of Finance, stating that after the Ist
of December next there will be a daily transmis-
sion of closed letter-bags between the Netherlands
and Great Britain, by the steamers from Ostend and
Dover, independently of the regular packet com-
munication between Rotterdam and London ; an
arrangement which will afford the opportunity of
sending letters from the Netherlands by every
steamer which leaves for England. Their route of
transmission, either via Ostend or via Rotterdam,
must be inscribed on the address. They may be sent
via Ostend without being prepaid.
Letters to the colonies, on transit through Eng-
land, need not be prepaid, either via Rotterdam or
Ostend, with this difference—via Rotterdam, every
single letter will be charged 10 cents higher, on
account of the transit by Belgium. The corres-
pondence from England to the Netherlands via
Ostend will be subject to the above regulation.
Let-
ters from the colonies, and beyond sea, passing in
transit through England, and destined for the,,Nether-
lands, must have the words " via Ostend on the
address.

PRUSSIA.

The 19a), being the Queen of PRUSSIA'S name-day,
was observed-with great solemnity by the Royal
family. There was a grand concert at the palace, in
which Jenny Lind took part, having been expressly
invited by the. KING from Harraburgh for that purpose.
The trial of WALDECK continues, and every wit-
ness who is examined mere and more confirms the
general opinion, that he has been the victim of a
shameful conspiracy, concocted by the agents of the
Government, who have managed matters so clumsily
that it is probable the Government will be obliged
to throw them overboard, and permit them to be pro-
secuted, should IVALDEcK be acquitted, of which
1 there is every probability.

ANECDOTES OF THE THAMES.

" Allow me to drink your health," exclaimed a Tea-
totaller, raising to his lips a tumbler of water just drawn
from a London cistern. " Never!" cried the individirsl
addressed, upsetting the tumbler with a motion of his
hand. " Never, my friend, shall you drink my health at
the sacrifice of your own." Both parties stood silent for
an instant, when a sediment at the bottom of the tumbler
revealed the awful fact that the liquid thus happily dis-
posed of had been supplied by a Metropolitan Water
Comp ny.
ANECDOTE, No. 2.—An unfortunate railway specu-
lator had for some time exhibited a morbid depression of
the spints, which it was feared by his friends might
take a turn towards suicide. Every precaution had
been taken to keep all implements of mischief out of his
reach, but a few days ago the unhappy man was seen to
make a sudden rush at the cistern—which is supplied
with Thames water—and had he not been seized by a
trusty domestic, there is no doubt he would, in another
minute, have drawn and swallowed the fatal draught.—

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD AND WORCESTER EXTENSION.

The winding up of this company's affairs came on
before the Master in Chancery (Sir George Rose)
yesterday, at his court in Southampton-buildings,
Chancery-lane, upon the petition of Mr. Morris, one
of the provisional committee, who states that the
company was projected in 1845, with a proposed
capital of 2,250,000 L, in 112,500 shares of 201 each,
deposit 2/. 2s. per share, with branches to Chester,
Shrewsbury, and Northwich. A large number of
persons took shares, and considerable sums of money,
to be accounted for, came into the hands of the pro-
visional committee. As sufficient capital could not be
procured, the scheme was abandoned in 1846, and
the company was dissolved under Lord Dalhousie's
Dissolution Act. Petitioner states that he has been
sued for a debt of 1,7921., and has paid a portion
thereof, and prays that the subscribers to the scheme
may be called on to contribute their t proportion to-
wards paying off outstanding liabilities. Tice Master
accordingly proceeded yesterday with list No. 1 of
contributories, containieg the names of those (178 in
number) who had signed the subscription contract, and
settled it to the ext:nt of 90.

THE SOUTHWESTERN AND WINDSOR

EX'FEN SION.

Yesterday morning Captain Robinson, one of the
Government Inspectors of Railways, proceeded from
Vauxhall station in a special train, accompanied by
the engineer awl some of the chief officers of the
company, to Datchet, for the purpose of inspecting the
continuation line from that place to Windsor. The
inspector was met at Datchet by some of the agents of
the contractor, when some heavy engines were at-
tached to the carriage, and Captain Robinson at once
commenced testing the bridge over the Thames, a
portion of which, it may be recollected, gave way
some three months since, when on the eve cf com-
pletion. Independent of the many tons weight that
wore on the bridge at one time, far exceeding the
weight of an ordinary train, the inspector passed. to
and fro over the bridge no less than nine times. The
bridge consists of three iron girder arches, resting on
maFsive stone piers.
The new line proceeds out of the present station at
Datchet across the main road upon a level, and thence
taking a curve through Black Potts, crosses the river
Thames, and enters the park at its extreme boundary,
alongside which it continues a mile anda 'Lail', and
terminates at the foot of the Castle walls in the lower
part of Windsor. The line will be continued a fur-
ther distance of a quarter of a mile into the heart of
the town, where it is proposed to erect a permanent
terminus. Captain Robinson expressed his approval
of the line, which will doubtless be opened in a few
days.

PRUSSIA.

The election of Members of the Second Chamber
took place at Berlin on the sth. The result was fa-
vourable to the Opposition party, six of their candi-
dates having been chosen ; three of them were each
elected in two districts. The names of the Deputies
nominated are—M. Waldeck, M. Behrend, M. Rod-
bertus, M. Jacoby, M. Temme, and M. Philips. The
number Gf Deputies for Berlin is nine ; in conse-
quence of the double election of three of the above
names, three new elections will have to be made. _

Several Prussian journals, of the 3d, state that the
Ambassadors of Russia and Austria have received
instructions to demand their passports in the event of
the king of Prussia accepting the Imperial crown ;
and a Berlin letter, of the same date, says, on what
it represents to be good authority, that the English
Ambassador has received orders to protest formally if
that eventuality should occur.
The German Reform of Berlin, of the 3d, says,
that the state of siege will not be raised until after
the adoption by the new Chamber of laws on the
right of association and the liberty of the press.
In consequence of protests made by different elec-
toral meetings against the expulsion from Berlin of
M. Rodbertus, General Wrangel has consented to
allow-him to return to that city.

BAVARIA.

The Address just voted by the second Chamber of
the States of Bavaria, in answer to the Speech from
the Throne, speaks with great energy in favour of
the unity of Germany, and against the separatist
tendencies attributed to the Bavarian Government.
The Chamber declares that the unity of Germany
ought to be founded, not only upon institu-
tions common to all the States, and which
shall guarantee the freedom of all the people, but
also on a Constitution, which shall combine in an
indissoluble manner all the German tribes, without
exception, in one strong and respected Confedera-
tion. It adds that it is only by conforming
freely and unreservedly with the new spirit
which exists in all classes of society, and sub-
mitting implicitly to the resolutions of the Ger-
man Assembly, and the central Government, that
lasting tranquillity and prosperity can be secured to
the German people. Finally, it recognises the vali-
dity of the law on fundamental rights adopted by
the National Assembly. As regards Bavaria, the
Chamber demands a really responsible Ministry, the
carrying out of the representative system in all the
branches of the public ssrvice, and a liberal organiza-
tion of the communes. The First Chamber has
adopted an address to the same effect.

HESSE DARMSTADT.

On the 28th ult., a rather serious disturbance
took place at the theatre of Mayence, Grand Duchy
of Hesse Darmstadt, in consequence of an actor
playing the character of Claude Frello, in a piece
called the Bellringer of Notre Dame, drawn from
Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris, having refused to
appear in compliance with the wish of the au-
dience, in the costume of a priest. The audience
cried " Down with the Jesuits I Take the priest's
dress 1 The priests have no privileges I" and
then they proceeded to smash the benches and
throw the fragments on the stage. A detachment
of infantry was called in, and a commissary of
police ordered the people to leave; but those in the
pit refused, and declared that they would break
everything if their wish were not complied with.
At length, after great confusion and excitement,
the authorities ordered the actor to take the priest's
dress, which he did, whereupon order was restored,
and the play was gone through without further dis-
turbance.

LATILLA.

When this master of counterpoint, who was chief of
the Conservatorio de•lla Musica oi Napoli, was asked the
question, " How is it that Joccelli, Saccbini,
Piccini, Cimarosa, and Paesiello, a►l pupils of one
common master, Durante, have not each acquired his
style, but all of them present different features in their
works?" he replied, and his reply is well worthy of note
—" The master of counterpoint cannot form the school
or style of a dramatic pupil—all the composers named
possessed a natural taste, or form of imagination, which,
despite the particular and similar form of study, would
guide them to a style adapted to the different bents of
their genius; and Durante, though the greatest Master
of the Neapolitan School, could not possibly boast pf
having formed, but o::ly of having instructed them, and
shown them the path which they should pursue!"

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, Fiat. 7.—The Central Power of
Frankfort has addressed a note to the Netherlands
Government, requesting that some war pyroscaphes
may be placed at its disposal. The Netherlands
Government has not, however, acceded to this request.
His MAJESTY, by a decree of Feb. 1, has appointed
Count LIMBOURG STIRUM President of the First
Chamber of the States General, which are to be
opened on the 13th of this month.
His MAJESTY, with a view to further the projects
of economy presented by his members, has commanded
that each regiment of infantry shall be reduced to two
battalions. This, together with the reductions which
have already been made in the army, will effect a
considerable diminution in the public expenses.
The Committee appointed by the Government to

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, FEE. 7.—The Central Power of
Frankfort has addressed a note to the Netherlands
Government, requesting that some war pyroscaphes
may be placed at its disposal. The Netherlands
Government has not, however, acceded to this request.

His MAJESTY, by a decree of Feb. 1, has appointed
Count LIMBOURG STIRUM President of the First
Chamber of the States General, which are to be
opened on the 13th of this month.
His MAJESTY, with a view to further the projects
of economy presented by his members, has commanded
that each regiment of infantry shall be reduced to two
battalions. This, together with the reductions which
have already been made in the army, will effect a
considerable diminution in the public expenses.
The Committee appointed by the Government to
make a report on the state of learning and public in-
struction in the universities and high schools, held
their first sitting on the 3d, and wilt continue their
labours without interruption.

A NEW DISCOVERY,

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colmr or decay, and will be tound-very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication.

Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.

BADEN.

Dates from Carlsruhe to Jan. 19, state that the
Government has laid before the Chambers the project
of law for an extraordinary income-tax to cover the
deficit of five millions. Though their numbers are
not given, it appears from the context that it is pro-
posed to impose 12 kreutzers on 100 florins, or five
per cent. This money may be called an extraordi-
nary measure, and is only justified by the fact that
the Government proposes a reduction of the State
expenditure to the amount of 490,000 florins, of
which 100,000 florins are of the civil list.

HESSE DARMSTADT.

On the 28th ult., a rather serious disturbance
took place at the theatre of Mayence, Grand Duchy
of Hesse Darmstadt, in consequence of an actor
playing the character cf Claude Frollo, in a piece
called the Bellringer of Notre Dame, drawn from
Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris, having refused to
appear in compliance with the wish of the au-
dience, in the costume of a priest. The audience
cried " Down with the Jesuits ! Take the priest's
dress ! The priests have no privileges !" and
then they proceeded to smash the benches and
throw the fragments on the stage. A detachment
of infantry was called in, and a commissary of
police ordered the people to leave; but those in the
pit refused, and declared that they would break
everything if their wish were not complied with.
At length, after great confusion and excitement,
the authorities ordered the actor to take the priest's
dress, which he did, whereupon order was restored,
and the play was gone through without further dis-
turbance.

GASPARINI.

Francesco Gasparini was born in the Duchy of Lucca
early in the seventeenth century, and after pursuing his
studies for some years, went to Rome, where ha soon
became celebrated as a composer and harpsichord
master. So high was the opinion which the elder Scar-
latti entertained of his abilities that he confided to his
tuitio❑ his son Domenico, then quite a youth. This
testimony of respect for, and confidence in, his worth and
tatents gave rise to a singular species of correspondence
between the two musicians. Gasparani, in the fit st in-
stance, wrote a cantata in a very learned cud scientific
style, worthy of the notice and attention of so great a
master, and sent it as a present to Scarlatti iu these
words:" Cantata inviata dal Signor Francesco Gasparini
al Signor Alessandro Scarlatti." To this musical billet-
dour Scarlatti replied by another cantata of, if possible,
still more learned and difficult character, reversing the
dedication, however, thus: 6' Cantata in ri,posta al Signor
Gasparini dal Signor Ales. Scarlatti." This reply pro-
duced in a very little time a rejoinder by Gasparini,
who sent to Scarlatti another cantata, in which he dis-
p'ayed the most abstruse modulation and harmony.
Scariatti, determined not to be outdone in this novel
kind of correspondence, exhausted every effort in order
to produce a composition that should prove a climax to
everything, and forwarded to Gasparini a cantata to the
same words, in which the combinations are the most ex-
traneous it is possible to conceive, and the notation the
most perplexing—and equivocal to say sooth—that was
ever, perhaps, jotted down on paper. This was ad-
dressed, " Seconds cantata al Signor Gasparini dal
Signor Ales. Scarlatti in idea umani, ma in regolo
cromatico, ed a per ogni professore." Thus ended their
correspondence, for " the force of composition could no
turther go." It has been related that Sacchini on
beholding this last cantata appeared much struck with its
intrinsic merit, and was able to discern its manifold
beauties despite its affectation and pedantry. It was
this same composition, too, that called forth his well-
remembered remark, that it was sometimes necessary
to look at such music "per non essere sorpreso." What
a volume of hidden meaning does this quaint and sar-
castic observation display—it was well that the fiery
old Scarlatti heard it not.

BOLTON.

Yesterday was the nomination for this election. The
excitement was not so great as on former occasions.
From 4,000 to 5,000 people were present. The candi-
dates were Sir Joshua Walmsley and Mr. Thomas Ridge-
way Bridson, bleacher, of Bolton. The usual forms
having been gone through, Mr. Robert Heywood, of Ross-
hill, proposed, and Mr. Thomasson, of High-bank,

On the motion of Mr. FREWEN, a return of the abstracts
of the accounts of the several country treasurers in England
and Wales for the years ending Michaelmas 1847, and Mi-
chaelmas 1848 (in a similar form to the return presented, and

day of May, 1848, Paper No. 348) was ordered.
THE CONSTABULARY FORCE.
_ _

On the motion of Mr. FREWEN, a return, showing the
number of police constables in each county or division of a
county in England and Wales, under the Act 2 and 3 Vic„
c. 93, for the year 1848 (in continuation of the return moved
for last session) was ordered.
THE IRISH POOR-LAW.

Colonel DUNNE moved for a return showing the value of
each townland, of each electoral division, of each union in
Ireland ; the population of each townland, and the rate struck
iu each electoral division, in which said townland is situate,
during each year since the commencement; and the numbers
relieved, both in-door and out-door; specifying the numbers
of able-bodied, and those dependent on them, who have re-
ceived relief in each case and in each year.
The report was ordered, and the Louse adjourned at Six
o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
M AR Y L EB UNE.
Robert Frost, a guard on the Great Western Railway,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, for final
examination, charged with having stolen a quantity of
haberdashery, &c., from a package which was left at the
Reading station on the 25th ult., and also with having
stolen valuable property belonging to the Earl of Craven
from a package which, amongst a number of others, was
on the 10th November last sent to the Shrivenham Sta•
tion, to be conveyed to his Lordship's seat, Combe
Abbey, near Coventry.
Mr. Justine, from the office of Maples and Co., solici-
tors, Old Jewry, and Mr. Collard, superintendent of the
railway company's police, attended as before on the part
of the prosecution.

Mr. Justins called additional witnesses in support of
the charge, and addressed the magistrate upon the whole
of the facts adduced in the course of the inquiries which
had been gone into, and he trusted that enough had been
shown against the prisoner to justify his worship in send-
ing him before a jury.
Mr. Collard remarked that four other trains, of
which prisoner was guard, had lately been robbed of
property.

- The Prisoner was asked if he had anything to say,
when a solicitor, by whom he was defended, said, "He
has nothing to say in exculpation of himself as to what
he is charged with now, but I am instructed by him to
state that he means to criminate another of the com-
pany's officers, who is not present."
Mr. BROUGHTON observed that he would have an op-
portunity of doing so at the Old Bailey, and committed
him for trial.

We have been requested to state that the prisoner is
not Robert Miles Frost, in the service of the Great
Western Railway: the latter bears a most excellent
character, is respectably connected in Devonshire, and is
now at the railway station.

SARTI.

The glow of Inspiration, that subtle emotion whose
sweetly•sad unrest falls o'er the heart and on the brain
so strangely, never descended on this great musicia❑
unless he was in a dark room, to which the light of a dim
lamp suspended from the ceiling gave a sepulchral and
gloomy effect. There, while the dark hours of night
travelled slowly on till they were banished by the grey
finger of Morning as she prepared to unlock the gates of
Day, would Sarti compose, while a solemn stillness
reigned around, for then and then only could he collect
and strengthen the energies of his mind, in order to
produce those musical prodigies (for his Time) which were
slumbering like an untreated chaos in his prolific brain.

a messenger arrived from Madrid with a reprieve for
the unfortunate RICALDE.
