MISS CATHERINE HAYES AND HER LEGAL TRou.
BLrs.-We learn from the English papers that
motion on the part of Miss Catherine Hayes, to
restrain Mr. Beale, Of London, from proceeding
against her in the Lord Mayors Court upon an at
tachment of her funds in the Union Bank, for an
alleged violation of her contract with him in this
country, was argued before the Vice Chancellor,
and lost. 1t appears that Miss Hayes, dissatisfied
with the management and managers of her concerts,
and the agents of Beale who accompanied her in
this country, resolved to break the contract, and
to start upon her hook and she
led to this determination by the fact that
she discovered in November that there was
a sub-contract between Bcale and Wardwell,
by which her singing was let to the latter,
for more than three the she was receiving
from Beale. She TO receive from Beale $3.50
per month. Bcae to receive from Wardwell
CO 200 per month. There was penal clause in the
agreement between Miss Hayes and Beale, that she
should forfeit E5 600 if she terminated the engage
nent before the time. This sum she offered to pay.
Beale would not accept it-alleging that he had in
cured expenses and losses, which he insisted should
also be Paid. He then attached sl 3G0-two months'
salary which be had paid to her credit in the Union
Rank.
1t appears from the proceedings of the trial, which
published yesterday, tina. Beale swcars he in
CURED very great expense by employing agents in
various parts Of England and America, to publish
articles in the leading journals praisng the singing
and acting of Miss Hayes aud to take every oppor-
tunity OF sounding her praises This is rather a
strange confession for Beale to make-that he

getting articles inserted exaggcrating her merits
after the fashion Of Barnum In the case Of Jenny
Lind. II Mr. Bcale means that he incurred
great expense by the pay ment of money to the
newspapers of this country, he swears what he does
NOT know, and what is, in point OF fact, false. His
agents may possibly have told him that they paid
largo sums Of money, bat they never paid them:
and we challenge him and them to name the papers,
the persons to whom the payments were made, and
the amount paid to each The NEW YORK HERALD
published much more about Catherine Hayes than
any other paper in the United States, and never
received, asked, or expected red cent. What we
did, did willingly. not for Mr. Beale or his
agents but just tribute to art and talent Of the
highest order, which did not need any putting
whatever.
When Jenny Lind was singing in this country
spread i'll Boston, by, it is said the agents of
BaInum himself. But the prince Of bunbugs was
compelled to deny on his solemn OATH that any sum
of money had ever been paid by him to, asked from
him by, any person connected with the New YORK
HERALD. 1t will turn out to be the same in the
present instance, The respectable journals who did
Miss Hayes any real service, or gave fcta to her
concerts. rcver received any consideration what

cesional half dollar for puff, we do not know;
but if they were the whole amount could not have
been over 800 We believe Beae's agent gave
some suppers to certain oyster house critics. which
at the very utmost could not amount to more than
another $780, and he ate one half Of the good things
himself. When Bea,es agent, therefore, is making
out the items Of the affidavit which we call upon
him to swear, we want him to be very particular in
deouctins his share of the oysters, and brandy,
and champagne, from the bill.
One thing is very certaiE-that whatever Besle
may have paid on account of yster and champagne
suppers, or for plis in the Sunday papers, he got
the lions share of the proceeds Of the concerts
While the London contractor and his sub-contract-
ore, agents and subsgsnts, swept away the entire
receipts, the artist who earned all, and toiled night
and morning, giving four concerts in the week, has

connection with these sharks and not satisfied with
this, they claim fS0o0 more, or &c, 900, for loss and
damage sustained by the violation of the contract
