.NATIONAL AND FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.
—Last night a soiree of the National and Financial Reform
Association was held at the London Tavern, when a lecture
was delivered by Mr. Bunting, an operative of Norwich.
Mr. Hume moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Bunting for the
address he bad delivered, and in so (king, be explained the
causes that withheld from the working classes their in-
alienable and ancient right of voting. Mr. Luke Elmsiey
seconded the resolution. Mr. Cobden then addressed the
meeting at great length. The Prime Midister, he said, had
promised next session to bring forward a new Reform Bill,
but it was for the people out of doors to say what was the
measure of reform they required. A number of gentlemen
having addressed the meeting, resolutions in accordance with
its otjects were adopted.
The election for Claektriannan and Kinross is fixed
for this day week, the 3d June, at Dollar If a poll be

mended, ot which there is every probability, the Pa de-

This being the first day of Trinity Term, all the
Courts of Westminster resumed their sittings this
murning, ;,portly after ten o'clock. Lord Campbell,
assisted by Mr. Justice Pagelon and Mr. Justice Erie,
presided in the Queen's Bench; but there was abs‘9lutely
1,0 motion to be disposed of; nor were there more than
hall-a-dozen members of the bar in attendance. The
Court intimated that it would give judgment to-morrow
morning in the cases of the Queen of 'Spain and the
Queen of Portugal.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Buico )
THE FAST ANCLIAN RAILWAY COMPANY v. TUE
EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY CuMPANY.
Mr. CRowDEn e.pphed for a rule to show cause why
an interlocutory judgment, which had been signed in
this case on the 2uth of Match last, should not be set
aside on the ground of irregularity, with costs. The
action was brought by the East Anglian CouTIDY
tgainst the Eastern Counties Company, on an agree-
ment entered int') between the parties, by which the
Eastern Counties Company agreed to lease the East
Arglian line fJr 999 years; and also, among other things,
to pt umote, at their own expense, certain Bills in Perlis-
men !or extension brunches. The defendants ultinintelY
refused to ratify this agreement, and an action was 0,0; cordingly brought, the penalties being laid at 21,18" s,rerml pleas *ere pleaded by the defendants, which the
plaintiffs treated as non-issuable, and thereupon signed
judgment. The only question involved in tne
appiic4tion was as to whether the pleas were or were
not issuable. The Learned Counsel contended that the
pleas were good, and that he was entitled to a rule.
Rule granted. present

After-hearing two or three motions of courfe, their

This was un application tor a summons

to pay them for the fractional pert of the sixty name'.. For instance, he bad got ten names short of the sixtit,
which fifty would amount to tenpence, and that sysll disallowed. He now applied for a summons out of die trict againq her Majesi)'s Principal Secretary of Sato'

THE BRIDGEWATER GALLERY.
It affords us no 'malt gratification to announce the
fact that this princely collection of the ancient and the
modern masters has, within the last few days, been opened to public inspection by the liberality of its noble
and munificent owner, the Earl of Ellesmere. Notvvitli•
standing the incomplete state of the magnificent
manstou now being *reefed at the hack of Stafford
liouie by tholgenius of Charles Barry, the distinguished
patrician already mentioned tas determined to afford our
foreign visitors the oppertunity of witnessing the troll'
sures of art accumulated in his possession. Perhaps the
Bridgewater Collection may be termed without exagge'
ration the most complete and really inestimable of all the .private collections in England, Mrs. Jameson,
among other eminent authorities upon the subject,
having eulogised it in the highest terms of admiration.
.Such landscapes of Hobbima, such battle scenes of,
Wouvermans, such boorish festivities of Teniera,and.. Dutch interiors by Ostade, and meadow nooks
by Cuyp, and dog groups by Schnyders, such
glorious specimens of the Carraccis, of Correglev
of Claude 'Lorraine,. of Raphael, of Paulo Vero-
nese, of Parmegiano, of Guido, of Titian, and of
Velasquez, cannot, we are bold to say, be semi
very readily in this country or elsewhere. Among
the more remarkable pictures in the gallery will be
noticed by visitors with especial interest, a splendid,
specimen of our own Turner in bis noblest style, the
celebrated Chandus portrait of Shakspere, the famous
painting by Paul de la Roche, iu which' he depicts
Charles I. being insulted by the Covenanters, a glorious
storm of Vanoervelr, a lovely Venus of Titian, and,
conspicuous even among all these, Guido's divine pro-
ductions, the St. Michael snd the As,umption.

THEATRE.
Last eveniug the recently engaged operatic corps, con-
sisting of Miss Louisa Pyne, Mrs. Harriette Cawse, Mr.
Corri, Mr. Donald Xing, Mr. Weiss, to whom were
added Mr. Cdulfidd and Mr. James Bland, who have
been long attached to the Haymarket corps, made their •
first appearance here in Auber's ever-delightful opera The Crown Diamonds. The fascinating Catering found
a most admirtibie representative in Miss Louisa Pyne, •
who fully entered into the spirit of the part,
and sang the music exquisitely. Mr. Donald, Ring gave a spirited version of Don Boutique;
and Weiss, who was in excellent voice,
sung and acted the RebAledo admirably, The opera
was excellently put on the stage, and the orchestra and
choruses, under the admirable direction of Mr. Altred
Mellon, lett nothing to be desired. Great credit is due
to Mr. Webster for having afforded the English opera It home, and we have no doubt but that the enterprise will , •
prove most successful. for since the Princess's came un
der its p'est•nt mana,,,ment there has been no theatre in the tnetr(po!!s in which English opera has been repro-
sewed. The lim. was cruvvth.d.
