HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.

The performance of G. W. Martin's prize glees,
part songs, and madrigals, at these rooms yester-
day .evening, attracted a full and fashionable atten-
dance. Lovers of real English music, of which the
glee and madrigal constitute an important feature,
are deeply indebted to Mr. Martin for his care-
ful and sedulous cultivation of this brauclr of vocal
harmony; and the applause bestowed on his com-
positions attest the high excellence they possess,
and the exciting influence they exercise over
the feelings of his audience. The singers
were thoroughly up in their parts, and with a
choir of two hundred voices did ample justice to
such compositions as " Hail, thou Queen of Night,"
`The Cuckoo," and "Come, let us all a Maying go."
There was nothing left to desire in the 'whole of
tle arrangements, and the grand duet for two
pianofortes, by Bone,-list and Lindsay Sloper, were
most brilliantly and effectively given.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

"Norma" was played last night, Grisi, of course,
personating the heroine. We have little to remark
upon the performance, seeing that the great vocalist
is in quite as good voice as she was last year, and
that her energy is equally unimpaired. We have
not, indeed, seen her to better advantage for some
time past. She sang the principal morceaux belong-
ing to this most popular of operas with her usual
excellence, and in the celebrated finale to the first
act, when hhe discovers the treachery of Pollio,
and denounces it with " all the fury of a woman
scorned," evinced no abaJeuient of that terrible
earnestness which, when once witnessed, makes so
indelible an impression upon the spectator. The
Adalgisa was the sensible and unaffected Mille.
Marai, who on this occasion made her first appear-
ance, and the Pollio, Gardoni. The opera awakened
the accu,tomed interest, and the principal artistes
were re-summoned after each act, according to the
prescriptive rule. The house was fashionably,
though not largely, attended.

CHOLLET V. HOPMAN.

Sir F. Thesiger this morning applied to the Court for
a rule to set aside a verdict which had been returned for
the defendant in this case, which had been argued on a
former occasion. The plaintiff complained of an in-
fringement of a patent, of which he was the possessor,
fur the preservation of meat, vegeable, and other sub-
stances for use on board chip. To the plaintiff had been
assigned by the original discoverer all property in the in-
vention, which had been patented, but objection was taken
on the part of the defendant that such assignment had not
been duly registered. The learned gentleman contended
that according to the provi-ions of the act of Parliament
notice of such objection,should have been given, which
had not been done in the present case.
Rule granted.

They declare it to be certain that the required
sum would be raised without delay. The Bund

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

The King of Bavaria is expected here on the
15th of May. His Majesty will be received with
the honours due to a reigning Sovereign.
A Council of Ministers, at which the Emperor
presided, was held yesterday at the Tuileries.
A Paris correspondentof the .Nord, of Brussels,
says :—" The commission named by the Council
of the Bank of France, for the revision of its sta-
tutes, meets daily. It has in principle decided on
the iucrease of capital, which will ba raised, it is
said, from 91 millions to 200 millions. The bank
will have the privilege of issuing notes to the ex-
tent of a thousand millions. The Government, in
exchange for this privilege, will enjoy the power of
borrowing from the bank a sum not to exceed 100
millions, at one per cent. less interest than the ge-
neral public. New shares will be allotted in prefe-
rence to the present shareholders at par or I,ooof.
The new statutes will be inaugurated on the Ist
January, 1858."

THE EAST.

We have received the Constantinople journals
and letters to the 6th, brought by the Simois. The
affair of the bank still remained in the same unde-
cided state, waiting for further and definitive ad-
vices from the company in London, until the arrival
of which nothing could be determined on. This
iarranged.needed
delay had tended to increase the hopes of the
numerous opponents to the establishment that
the affair
might not, after all, be finallysim lstate
The other projects which had been
to English companies were in a
of uncertainty. The general and almostar
para-
mount question of interest in the Turkish capital
was the approaching elections in the
principalities.
The last accounts received from thatteheerempinreisseatiietanteir;e' tb quarter state
tivlatßaallsiii,
of Russia, had arrived
ekception of
at their post, and had met with a most favourable
reception. Baron de Talleyrand whose welcome
was most gratifying on his first ' visit, was on this
occasion received with Bt.!).
1 greater eclat. Sir H.
Bulwer, M. Bensi, and Savfet Effendi were also
very warmly welcomed.
Several committees had
been formed to prepare the preliminary measures
of the elections, and a central one had been or-
ganised, the constitution
of which appeared to have
given satisfaction.

The German 'Journal of Frankfort of the 14th
says :—" A report was current yesterday that a
quarrel had taken place between the Prussian and
Austrian soldiers of the garrison of Mentz. The
rumour is now confirmed, and it is further stated
that the whole garrison has been confined to bar-
racks. A kcal journal speaks of four vehicles filled
with killed and wounded, and another version
states that five Prussians were killed on the spot,
but both accounts are doubtless greatly exagge-
rated."

The Madrid journals of the 12th contain no
news. The Queen had, on occasion of Good
Friday, commuted the sentence of death on eight
criminals into hard labour for life. The Duchess
de Montpensier had recovered from her fawn
couche.

The St. James's Theatre will positively be mold by
knetion on Tuesday next by Mr. Robins, at hie rooms in
Covent-garden.

MURDER IN PARIS.

A. murder was committed early on Tuesday morn-
ing, or in the night of Monday, in tlL.t quarter of
the Madeleine. About six weeks ago a retired pro-
vincial judge, 61 years of age, hired furnished
lodgings at No. 43, in the Passage du Havre,
where he led a very regular life, and received nu-
merous visitors. On Monday night he returned
home at about 11 o'clock, and retired to rest. At
9 o'clock the next morning a servant entered his
rooms to clean them, and was surprised to find
that he had not got up. She went to the bed-room
door, and called to him, but received no answer ;
she then entered and approached the bed, but the
moment after she rushect from the room shrieking
" Help !" and fell sensel, si on the stairs. Her mi.-
tress and some other penons hastened to er a;d,
and when she had somewhat recovered, she, in
great terror, exclaimed, "Madame ! madame !
the gentleman—be is dead. I saw him in his bed!"
The mistress and others then, finding that the
lodger really was lying: dead in the bed, sent for
the comnds4ary of police, and ho soon arrived,
accompanied by two medical men. Tf ey found
that the lodger had been killed by two blows on
the head from some blunt instrument, which had
caused deep wounds and a loss of blood ; and
that his hands were tied together by a cord,
one end of which was passed round his neck. On
the night-table were some large nails and a knife.
Although the furniture in the room was in disor-
der, it did not_ appear that any search had been
11 made after booty ; and though the gold watch and
chain of the deceased were not found, it is be-
lieved that he had confided them to a watchmaker
for some repairs, as he had spoken of so doing. No
clue to the murderer has thus far been discovered,
and the motive of the crime is a mystery. About
an hour before the servant entered the room a
well-dressed man called to see the deceased, but
received no reply to his knocks. He remarked to
the surveillant of the pasage that perhaps the
gentleman had gone out to be shaved, and that ho
would go to look for him. In a few minutes he re-
turned, and said he had not been able to find him ;
the other ar:swered that he had not seen him, but
that it was probable he had gone out for a walk : on
which the stranger went away and never returned.
The police are making a searching investigation into
the affair.

11 ANOVER-SQUARE BOOMS.

The performance of G. W. Martin's prize glees,
part songs, and madrigals, at these rooms yester-
day evening, attracted a full and fashionable atten-
dance. Lovers of real English music, of which the
glee and madrigal constitute an important feature,
are deeply indebt3d to Mr. Martin for his care-
ful and sedulous cultivation of this branch of vocal
harmony; and the applause bestowed on his com-
positions attest the high excellence they possess,
and the exciting influence they exercise over
the feelings of his and'ence. The singors
were thoroughly up in their parts, and with a
choir of two hundred voices did ample justice to
such compositions as " Hail, thou Queen of Night,"
"The Cuckoo," and "Come, let us all a Maying go."
There was nothing left to desire in the whole of

pianoforres, by Benedict and Lindsay Sloper, were

SURREY THEATRE,

The legitimate drama was revived at this theatre last
evening by the performance of the tragedy of " Brutus,
or the Fall of Tarquin," Mr. Creswick, who is a deserved
favourite with the audience here, sustaining the part of
Lucius Junius Brutus. His performance was through-
out forcible ; and in the early part sarcastic and sugges-
tive, so long as the proud and heroic spirit is compelled
to seek in a fool's demeanour safety from a tyrant. The
burst of passion with which he breaks the long conceal.
mcnt of his patriotic indignation was finely given by,
Mr. Creswick, and drew down long-continued applause.
The usual honours were paid to the chief actor, and he
was called on at the end of the third act, as well as at the

sent a deputation to the Federal Government at
Berne, declaring the accept tbility of the proposi-
tions made by the other Powers.
Dr, Kern has lest Zurich for Paris.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

Their Majesties yesterday received several
foreigners of distinction, presented by the Russian
ambassado-, and by the Saxon, Dutch, and Swiss
Ministers.

The Grand Duke Constantine arrived at Mar-
sei&s on Mondry from. Toulon. He will leave on
Wednesday next. His reception was enthusiastic.
There is to be a grand review, a (limier at the Hotel
de Ville, a spectacle, and a pubic holiday.
Dr. Kern has not yet returned hither, but he is
expected shortly. The reply of Prussia will also
arrive very soon, and it is hoped that the affair`will
come to a satisfactory conclusion. It will not create
surprise if matters should be arranged within a
week.

The Mopitem. conta;ns decrees promoting General
de Sinters to the rank of grand officer in the
Legion of Honour ; raising four others to the rank
of officers ; and making 12 nominations to that of
knight among persons of various ranks in the
army. The military medal has been also conferred
on 19 non-commissioned officers.and privates.
A Paris correspondent of the Nerd of Brussels
says ;—" A letter from Turin inform° me that the
Sardinian Govetnment has just sent to the French
Minister of War 1,200 nitda!s for distribution
among the troops who fought in the Crimea. The
medal, which is in silver, bears the effigy of King
Victor Emrnanuet, and on the reverse the names
of the principal battles of the Crimea, and also the
name of the soldier who is to receive it. The
English army is to receive 400 of these medals."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Vienna of the 22d, in the Boersen-
halle of Hamburg, says :--" It is asserted that very
important despatches from Baron de Prokesdch
hive been received. The Porte, which hitherto
had remained faithful to the opposition it offered
to the union of the Principalities, is at this moment
in a state of irresolution. However, the balance
in Turkey, is still in favour of the opinion sustained
by Austria and England, notwithstanding that
certain Turks of influenbe have been converted to
the Lica of a union."

A leiter from Bucharest of the 11th, in the
Augsburg Gazette, says :—" The members of the
European coomission have not yet commenced
their labours ; they have hitherto only received
and paid visits. ZL:ch commissioner often has
frim forty to fifty, and Onmetimes even one hun-
dred, persons calling on hiin in a day, cnly some
of whom are received from want of time ; the
others den, sit their cards, on wii:ich they write
Union," Foreign Regiment,' Constitutional Go-
vernment,' &c., to express their political opinions."

THE PROPERTY 07 MARRIED WOMEN.

There is no portion of our law which has attracted
more attention of late, than that which affects the condi-
tion of the property of married women, and none on which
the advance of public opinion has 'been so rapid. It is
only a twelvemonth since thisisociety first turned its at-
tention seriomly to investigate and report on the evils
incident to our present system of giving to the huqband
an absolute and unqualified right to all the earnings of
the wife, and, in the absence of a marriage settlement,
a right to her personal properly also. The abstract in-
justice and impolicy of suc-h a state of the law, seem to
have been admitted .by all, but consiierable difficulty
was felt in many quarters as to the possibility of apply-
ing any practical remedy. The discussions which ensued
as to the publication of the society's report, since eon-
tinned by the press in a variety of ways, have tended to
clear up in a great measure these difficulties, and to
smooth the way for a legislative enactment. The com-
mittee who were charged with the subject accordingly
proceeded to prepare a bill "to amend the laws relating
to the property of married women," which was intro-
duced into the House of Lads by Lerd Brougham shortly
before the termination of the la,t session 'ii I' rliceaent.,
This bill was based on the resolutions appended to the
society's report, and aims at establishing the same state
of the law as now prevails throughout the greaterpor-
titan of the "United States of Atherica ; it does not inter.

LONDON, TUESDAT, APRIL 28, 1887

The Overland Mail h a,s to-day brought U 3 in-
telligence to the 15th ultimo from Hong Kong,
to the 19th from Sarawak, to the 21st from Cal-
cutta, to the 23d from Singapore, and to the 2d

the news from the sea tof war—as far as it goes—
is satisfactory. Advisedly, we say, as far as it

getic and decisive operations against the Chinese
cannot be adventured upon in those seas until
the arrival there of our long looked-for and

because be is c,;mpelled to do so, until such time
as lie shall have received the requisite reinforce-

forcements, it is satisfactory to know, are already
actually on tho way thither, as fast as wind and
wave will permit to the steam-engine and the

peror had fixed an allowance of 400,000 florins to
the functions of Governor-General, but it is said
that double tbat sum will not be sufficient to de-
fray the expenses of the new Court. Much dissa-
tisfaction prevailed at Milan and at Mantua in
censquence of the promise made by the Emperor
that the Austrian officers should be punished who
had caused the death of a civilian, named Bianchi,
at Mantua, not having been carried into effect.

MINISTER OF JUSTICE.

In the address of the council at the opening of the pre-
sent session of the society, the necessity of giving, in all
efforts for law reform, the most prominent place to the
question of a minister of justice was insisted on, and a
hope was expressed that strong support would be given
to Mr. Napier's motion for the appointment of such an
officer, which, in a letter to the secretary, be had ex
pressed his intention of making at an early opportunity
in the House of Commons. The council can now con-
gratulate the society on the adoption of that motion by
the honse, and on the pledge given by Government to
carry out the wish thus expressed by the Legislature.
It cannot be concealed that the organisation of a depart-
ment of justice is attended with some difficulties, and
more especially as to the question in whose hands the
supreme direction of such a department is to be vested.
It has been proposed that the minister of justice should
he an independent officer of state, having a seat in the
Cabinet and the House of Commons ; but to this it is
objected that the existence of such an officer would not
be compatible with the political
,influence of the Lord
Chancellor, who is at present the representative of law in
the Cabinet. Whatever weight attaches to this objec-
tion seems to apply to another proposition, of making
the Home Secretary Minister of Justice, with the
additional evil of still further burdening a depart.
ment which is at present supposed to be fully
occupied. Both these plane seem to be grounded on
the popular feeling, to which it is hardly possible to at-
tach too much importance, that proper security for the ,
vigilance and activity of such a department is only to be
obtained by its direct responsibility to the House of
Commons. The society a few years since approved of a
plan submitted to them, which it was thought would in
a great degree meet the complicated requirements of the
case, and, without interfering with the position of the
Lord Chancellor, would make the department of justice
sufficiently responsible. It was proposed in this report
that a Board of Justice should he established on the
same footing as the Board of Trade ; that the Lord
Chancellor should be the president ; and that there
should be in addition a vice-president with a seat in the
House of Commons, and a permanent non-parliamentary
secretary, with a competent office and staff. The council
have not yet heard any other proposal which seems to
promise on the whole a more satisfactory solution of the
difficulty than this ; and they have little doubt that a
department well organised after such a plan would not
only be able to deal with all current questions of law
amendment, but would also find in itself ample resources
for the consolidation of the statute law and the revision
of bills as they paes through Parliament.
