When heavy load is placed upon the plat

MEETING OF THE BAR.-The members of
Fitchburg, Thursday morning, to make some
formal expressions of their regard for the re-
firing judges of the Court of Common Pleas.
Hon. Nathaniel Wood was chosen President,
and s. f. Woods, Esq, Secretary.
Mr.. Deyens remarked that as they were ap-
preaching the close of the session of this
court, the Bar have felt that it would not be
improper to speak a word of FRANK and manly
regard for the court in which they had practised
during their whole professional lives The
Bar and the Court were not strangers to each
other, and were not anxious to part with the
hurried glance of strangers who have met by
chance, and go each their several ways with
carelessness and Indifference. For nearly for
ty years, almost one-half of the existence of
Massachusetts, as a Commonwealth, this Court
has been the one in which the great part of its
law business has been done, and the members
ofthe Bar cannot forbear the expression of their
opinion, that by its administration on its civil
side, justice had been done between party and
party, and the great rights ofproperty preserv-
ed, and on the criminal side the greater rights
Of persons had been protected by watchful
care of the innocent, and a firm punishment of
the guilty-and now that by legislative enact
ment new organization is to take its place,
they have no better wish for the prosperity and
success of the new tribunal than that at the
end of forty years, it may be found to have
served the Commonwealth with equal fidelity
and success.
Mr.. Deyens further remarked that he pre-
sumed he had been selected by the Bar to
present the resolutions which he then held in
his hand, because he had for several years
been member ofthe same Bar with his Honor,
then upon the Bench lie recollected that in the
first cause he ever tried, his Honor was the op-
posing counsel. OF the result of that cause he
would say nothing except that if the art of try
ing causes was to be learned as it was said the
art of war was, by being defeated once or
twice, he was on that occasion much Obliged
to his Honor. After a few remarks express
siye of his respect for the Judge both on the
Bench and at the Bar, Mr.. ID. offered the fol-
lowing resolutions -
Resolved That at the close of the sessions
OF the Court Of Common Pleas in the County
OF Worcester, the members of the Bar desire
TO express to the Court, upon the termination
of its duties by Legislative enactment their
sincere regard and respect for the judges who
have adorned and who now adorn It's bench.
and their deep sense Of the obligations which
the community are under to them for their
faithful and valuable services.
Resolved, That they especially desire to ex-
press their esteem and regard for the Hon.

THE BRITIsH Tony MINIsTRY-A Lon
don correspondent of the New York Tribune
who writes with very noticeable intelligence,
has the following observations on the minste-
rial crisis in Great Britain. His letter is dated
june 10th, and he says =
sf "It is expected that the great Parliamentary
battle will be decided this night The result
is very doubtful, since several members have
not yet been sworn in, and the majority will
on either side in no case exceed nine, perhaps
not even five. However, the fate of the Cabi-
net is sealed, should it even survive the divi-
sion about the want of confidence. Lord
Palmerston and Lord John Russell have made
their minds up to admit three independent
Liberals to the Cabinet, one of them, Milner
Gibson, another Cobden-if he accepts it
the third is not yet designated The price
for which the Wings got the support of the
Radicals was the unconditional neutrality of
of England, whether the war against Austria
remain localized in Italy or not. The Court is
deeply affected by this resolution; and it would
not like to see Austria losing her character of
great European power"
The word Court means Prince Albert
who is tory German, and therefore much
more an Austrian than an Englishman. If he
were man of large sympathies and strong
intellect, he would shake off the influence of
early training and become something more
than a well preserved Austrian fossil but the
petty princes of Germany seldom have more
intellect than ordinary wants of life require.
Royal families, royal alliances, royal per
sons,-these things are the curse of Europe.
Prince Albert has no direct share in the Brit
ish government; but he has nevertheless
considerable political influence, for he nf1u-
ences the Queen, and, through her, the
Court. Prince Albert's bgoted and brainless
devotion to the absoutism of the continent
has more than once drawn attention. In one
instance, it was publicly noticed and rebuked
by Lord Palmerston. Court influence controll-
ed the action of England during the career of
the first Napoleon, doing little good to man.
kind, while it gave the English people a mon
strous national debt. 1t is to be hoped that
better influences will prevail in that country
now.
A change Of the Ministry will silence that
Austrian sympathy which is so regardless of
the honor of England as well as of the inter
ests of mankind. And it will be likely to give
more dignity and efficiency to English diplo-
macy Lord Derby and the tories have cher
ished the belief that they coul1 constrain the
beligerents to a peace as soon as Napoleon
should enter Milan and from them have come
all the reports of measures to be used in behalf
OF peace, in which there is visible no little stu
pidity with but very little good sense. The
French and Sardinians have undertaken to
drive the Austrians out of Italy. They are
able to do it, and they are not likely to leave
this work undone because English torysm can
not bear to see them finish it. The friends of
freedom in every part of the world should re-
joice over the downfall of that Derby Minis
try.

THE RHODE ISLAND CONGRESSIONAL ELEc-
TIoN.-The second trial for member of Con-
gress in the Eastern Rhode Island District,
though as warmly contested as the first, failed
to bring out so large vote. Mr.. Robinson,
the successful candidate, falls about five hun
dred behind his vote in April. Mr. Davis made
a gain of about two hundred. The vote of the
district was for Robinson, 34O6 Davis,
2654; scattering, 81. In the city of Provi-
dence, the Republicans made gallant fight,
giving Mr.. Davis a plurality of twenty-five
votes, which was'as gratifying as it was unex-
pected. Outside Of the city, the change was
ess marked. On all political questions likely
to come before Congress, Mr.. Robinson will
unquestionab1y act with the Republican party.

MISFORTUNE OF AN OPERA SINGER.-Frez-
zolini met with sad mishap recently at the
opera in Paris. Though but partially recover
ed from a bronchial attack, she insisted on
taking her part with Tamberik and Borghi-
Mamo in the performance of Trovatore, for
the benefit of the Italian Volunteer Fund.
All went on very well until, in the midst of
the forcibe duet between Leonora and the
Count that follows the Miserere scene Frezzo-
lini suddenly stopped, trembled and lost her
voice. With one sad shrek she fell fainting
into the arms of Corsi the baritone, who car
ried her behind the wings. She was imnedi-
ately laid upon the couch which serves in the
following prison scene for the gipsey Azuce-
ma; but, to avoid disturbing the unfortunate
prima donna, the scene was not changed and
the opera closed with the tenor and con-
tralto duet, Madame Frezzolini being unable
to rise, much less resume her part.

PERILoUs TRANcE-A young lady of II
years, daughter of Mr.. r. ID. Story of Med-
ma, ILL.,, fell into trance on the 3lst inst. She
was in good health and spirits on the day pre-
ceeding, but was found the next morning ap-
parently dead. Preparations were soon made for
the burial Of the body, and The time set for the
funeral. The neighbors were called in, and
all decided it was best To bury her at the time
suggested, no one considering it necessary to
call a physician. On Wednesday evening,
however, before the coffin had been brought,
while the younger brother was looking on the
face of the dead sister he saw the lips move,
and livid with fear communicated his suspic-
ions to his mother She was just entering the
front door, receiving some friends from Henry
county, and at the announcement uttered
most agonizng shrek of surprise. This was
instantly followed by one from the chamber
where Elizabeth was lying, and when her moth
er and friends entered the room she was sitting
on the cooling board, as much surprised at the
alarm of her friends as they were of her sud
den recovery from what they thought the
grave. Mr. Storys statement stands endorsed
by four families residing near him. On Sun
day morning, Miss Story was in perfect health,
but from dread superstition will not explain
her feelings while in the state OF trance. She
avoids speaking of it.

To THE HUNGARIAN ExILEs RESIDING IN
THE UNITED STATEs.-At the time of the late
Crimean war, several of my exiled fellow
countrymen brought great misery upon them
selves by throwing up their situations, and
leaving the United States for Europe, without
having taken care to ascertain whether or not
circumstances warranted the step. | fear the
present state of affairs in European affairs, to-
gether with partly vague, partly exaggerated
partly unfounded reports, may have a similar
effect.
l consider it, therefore, to be my duty to
warn my exiled fellow countrymen in Ameri-
ca, that ii is not get time to more. Grave consid-
erations forbid my entering on premature ex-
plantations. Suffice it to say, that, though the
sky is Frightening promisingly, we have yet
great difficulties to overcome.

Of our country, but also especially of their
