LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF PROBATK AND DIVORCK (Wore the Jades Ordinary.) TROY NON AND MS V. FIDDIAN AND OMER CITED TO bIE PROCEEDINGS. The Queen's Advocate and Mr. Aspinall were for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Keane for the defendants. The plaintiffs, as executors of the late Mr. Wm. Benbow, propounded a will which bad been made by him on the th of April, lea The defendants, or rather one of them, Mr. John Farmor Ward, alleged a codicil ex ecuted on the 25th March, 1862. The testator died on the day following, and the executors averred that the later instrument was not the codicil of the deceased, that he was not of testamentary capacity when he signed it, and that it had been procured by the undue influence of Mud. The testator had been engaged in the South American trade, but be had latterly resided at Whiston, near Liverpool, and had carried on business in that port as a merchant. Mr. Gard war a surgeon in the neighbouring village ci Pres. oott, and he had become very intimate with the deceased. In 1858 he went to Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, where he was visited by Mr. Benbow. In November, 1861, Mr. Benbow proposed that be should come and stay with him, offering to give him 1501. a year and to pay for the board of his old housekeeper, named Grey. Heabio expressed regret that the state of his affairs did not permit him just then to propose better terms ; but he mid that Mr. Gliard would benefit by the wind-up of his affairs. In February, 1862, Mr. 011ard, thinking that the deceased was rendered by the children not quite so comfortable as he could wish, suggested that he should take a house at Bade, called Ivy Cottage, and live there by himself. This Mr. Benbow did ; but it was alleged that the friendship remained un altered. The health of the deceased after this began rapidly to fail, and Mr. 011ard suggested that if be wished to alter his will he should do so ; but he linked if he wished to wait till his friends, who had been sent for from Liverpool, arrived. The testator replied- that he wished to settle his affairs at once, and Mr. Worsloy, a respectable solicitor at Ryde, was called in. Mr. Worsley then drew up the codicil from his instructions. In the will he bad left his housekeeper Grey 2501., and after giving several other legacies he divided the Tartans of his property into five equal parts, which he distributed amongst his relations, the chief object of his bounty being his Mn. Eliza Benbow. In the codicil be increued Grey's legacy to 3001., and, after some other legacies, he divided the rest equally between Mrs. Eliza Benbow and Mr. Ottani. Mr. Worley was called, and described at length the pre paration and execution of the codicil. In witness's opinion there could not be the least question either as to the testa tor's competency or his desire to make the disposition con tained in the document in dispute. [The case was still proceeding when we went to press.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissions Holroyd.) TS RE J. The bankrupt was described as of anstonmaquare and of Brompton. This was the adjourned examination sitting. The we has been frequently before the court during the last nine months. The bankrupt, it will be remembered, having large expectations under his father's will, had bor rowed money in all directions, giving, as security, bills or bonds, which had passed from hand to head, and were known in sporting circles as "Iliiiidam's bonds." The amount secured by these bonds was in most came fabulously out of proportion to the amount of the advances ; Mons cam • bond of 10,0001. had been given for • loan of 3001. The total liabilities are 27,2A61. ; there is nothing in the shape of assets, except two racehorse, named " Inheritress" and "Mountain Doe," which are returned as of the value of 1001. each, but are held by creditors as security. The largest creditors are Mr. Pooley (the wives)), of Riches court, 3,0001. ; Yr. Croft, hotel-keeper, of dasingetoke, 4,0001. ; Mr. Charles Bonyard, hop merchant, Kent, 2,000/. ; and Mr. Jabot Wood, of Cornhill, 2,0001. Mr. Chidley, for the assignees, stated that the bankrupt had been required to furnish additional accounts, at the last sitting, but be had taken no step whatever towards doing so. He bad not even produced his banker's pass. book, nor supplied a copy of it. Another adjournment of a month or six weeks was asked. Mr. Nicholson, who appeared for creditors, complained that nothing bad been done by the assignee towards ob taining the bankrupt's property, consisting of two race. Donee and • picture, for which no consideration had been given. The creditors suspected that an arrangement bad been made with the assignee for satisfying him claim, on condition of his abstaining from too active an interference. He wished to ask the assignee, Mr. Pooley, some questions with a view to an application to the court for his removal from the sa*neeship. His Honour said be could not entertain so serious a charge in that stage of the MSC It must be brought before the court in • regular way, and notice given of the application. Mr. Sargood, for the bankrupt, opposed the adjourn ment. The solicitor to the assignees bad promised to moist the bankrupt with dates and other information requisite to enable him to complete his account, but he had not dose so. The bankrupt was • young man with large expectations, who was himself unaccustomed to accounts. His pas-book bad been handed to • person named Williams, who was now out of the way, and the hankers mid it was contrary to theirpractice to fur nish copies of pass-books. There was no L.hes on the part of the bankrupt, and he now asked to be allowed to pass. Mr. Chidley denied that the night* d the tankrubt was chargeable on hint. Several large debts bad not been re turned at all ; one for upwards of 3,0001. bad been proved that day. He entirely denied the &serge of collusion on the pert of Mr. Pooley, the maim" who had had no com munication with the bankrupt Many way._ An adjournment was ordered till the 26th of March.

The cir cumstances connected with the charge will be fresh in the memory of our readers. On the 30th of January, three miners were descending Padgett's Croft colliery, when the rope broke, and the poor fellows were dashed to pieces. Examination proved that the rope bad been cut, and suspicion fell so strongly on the prisoner that he has been mat for trial on the capital charge. Sneer=s or LOCEILOMOND.—It will be satiafactory to tourists and others visiting Lochlomond on pleasure or barium to know that charts of the government survey of this most interesting of Scottish lakes have now been pre pared, wherein all sunken rocks, shoals, and banks are se. curately delineated. Robert Bunter, Feu., sheriff of the counties of Dumbarton and Bute, at whose instance the survey by Captain Otter, IIN., was made, has also since the on of the charts, with the most praiseworthy C P rrlit t y l subscribed himself, and has induce d Sir James Oolquhoun, of Lam ; Mr. Scoollett, of Bonhill ; Mr. Brows, of Ballo* • Mr. A. Orr Ewing, of Leventank, the Dumber. toushire and Edinborough and Glover Railways, and the Lochlomond Steamboat Companies, likewise to subscribe for the erection of beacons and buoys on the various sunken rocks, shoals, and banks dangerous to the navigation. These beacons and buoys. which were executed and laid down by Messrs. Bell and Campbell, of Bonhill, under the superin tendence ot Mr. Young, the Lochlomond Steamboat Com pany's manager, have now stood the severe pies of this winter in the most satisfactory manner ; and as each of the captains of the steamers have been furnished with a copy of the chart showing all their bearings, configurations, and colours, the public may now consider the navigation of the lake as quite free from danger. GREAT ResTERN RAILWAY.—For Rome time past considerable excitement has prevailed in the Teedring hundred of Essex, in reference to two rival lines proposed for establishing communication to Walton-on-the-Naze. A deputation from the directors went down • few days since to investigste the merits of the respective schemes, and the secretary has now officially intimated that upon the two new companies coming to an agreement to continue their respective lines as far as Thorpe, and from thence to Walton by one line, the Great Eastern will be prepared to ar range terms for contributing a portion of the capital re quired for both hoes, and for working them when completed, but upon the express understanding that the plane for the two lines are to be subject to the approval of the Great Eastern Company's engineer, and that the con tract for the works is oleo to be approve d by him. THE HIRMIT BURROW NEAR THE DEAD SEA.— Far up on the cliff, like a fortress, stand the gloomy, windowless walls of the convent ; but along the ravine, in almost inaccessible gorges of the hills, are caves and boles half-way down the precipice, the dwellings of the hermits. Here, is • den fit for a fox or • hymns, one poor soul had died just before our visit, after five.and.forty years of self ' incarceration. Death had released him, but may more remained, and we could see some of them from the distant rood as we passed, sitting in the mouths of their caverns, or walking on the little ledges of rock they had smoothed for terraces. Of course their food (such as it is) is conveyed to them, or let down from the cliffs from the convent at needful iatervals. °the wise they live absolutely alone— ' alone in this hideous desolation of nature, with the lurid, blasted desert for their mole share in God's beautiful uni verse. We are all, I suppose, accustomed to think of a hermit as oar poets have painted him, dwelling serene in A lodge in some vast wilderness, Some boundless continuity of shade, undisturbed by all the ugly and jarring sights and sounds of our grinding civilisation, sleeping mainly on his bed of fern, feeding on his pulse and cream, and drinking water from the brook. He kneels at morn, and noon, and wee, He bath a cushion plump, It is the moss that wholly hides The rotten old oak stump. Bat the hermits of Mar Saba, how different are they from him who unsoiled the Ancient Mariner ! No holy cloisters of the woods, and sound of chanting brooks, and hymns of morning birds—only this silent burning waste—this ' dew- Wien deified." It seemed as if some frightful aberration of the religious sentiment could alone lead men to choose, for home, temple, prison, tomb, the one spot of earth where no flower springs to tell of God's tenderness, no soft dew, nor sweet sound ever falls to preach faith and love. Thor are many such hermits dill in the Greek church. I have seen their eyries perched where only vul tures should have their nests, on the cliffs of e ll and among the caverns of the Cyclades. Anthonyt Stylizes have left behind them a track of evil glory, along which many a poor wretch still " crawls to heaven along the devil's trall."—Preerr's Nepotist for February. DESTITUTION AND DEATH AT LIMEHOUSE. DTQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) This day at noon Ms. John Humphreys, the coroner for Middlesex, opened an inquiry in the children's establishment of the 'Stepney Union, Church-row, Linn houae, respecting the death of Abraham Carry, aged 18 years, who, it was alleged, had died from destitution. Frances labor, of No. 5, !Why's Rope-walk. Lim/amuse fields, said the deceased wee in good health on Saturday last when she left him in bed to go and name • ;esthete` She did not see the deceased alive swan. The deceased had been to greet distress, and had tamped from the country. William Newman, in the service of Miser.. Price and Co., the candle manufacturers, of =wall, Poplar—The de emed was taken on in the yard as a casual labourer, and received 7s. 6d. per week. Coroner—ls that the wages your firm pay to a young man 18 years of age! Witness—Yes, air. The first witness said, in answer to the coroner, that the deceased paid lc 6d. per week for rent, and he only had animal food once a week. He was very badly clothed, and suffered from fits of epilepsy. Mr. William Edward Burton surgeon to the parish, said that he was called to the deceased and found him in • state of inemmilnlity, and deceased died on Sunday morn ing. Had mad. • post-mortem examination of the body, and found the brain much softened and effusion of blood into the ventricles. The stomach and intestine. were per fectly empty, and the body was much emaciated from went and dtntion. The clothing was ragged, and his person was almost naked. . . — After ethic whammies bad been heard, The Coroner summed up the evidence, which he said dia. closed a mad cam of destitution and death from want. There was no one to blame, and the deceased had no doubt suf fered peat privations. The small pittance deceased had reosived lately was not sufficient to keep body and soul tal lgerj r nri returned a verdict, "That the deceased died from effusion of blood into the ventricles of the brain, brought ea by destitution and the want of the common moraines al Igo." DEVISES ELECTION. POLLING.-(113/13 DAY.) Addington hobo' Abnhimn The Hones or COMMONS AND ASH WEDNESDAY. —There ore two Wedoesdays every minim to which the House of Commons shows some respect—the one is Ash Wedneeday, on which mosaic* the sitting is postponed until two o'clock, the other is the Derby Day, when the sitting is suspended altogether. The lemon for the post. ponemeat of the sitting until two o'clock on Ash Wednesday is grounded on the assumed anxiety of hon. members to attend Divine service on the first day of Lent, and formerly it was the custom of the Speaker and a large number of members to be present at the morning service at St. Margaret's Church, in which pariah the House of Commons is situate, the sermon, on all 000asions, being preached by the chaplain to the house. The custom gradually fell into dimwit, and the Speaker and the officers of the hones at length ceased to attend altogether. Mr. Goulborn, Sir Robert Inglis, and other mem bers of the old school, continued to make a point of attending during the remainder of their lives, as did also Mr. Spooner, until advancingyean and partial lox of sight compelled him also to abandon the practice. This morning St. Margaret's Church presented a very dull ap pearance. There was morning service, it is true, but none of her Mejesty's faithful Commons honoured it with their presence either in their private or official capacity. ANOTHER NIGHT or F/RTS.—SERious Loma,— During last night and this morning the London firemen were actively engaged in attending fires in various parts of the metropolis. One broke out about 5 o'clock this morning in the premises belonging to Mr. C. Greville, • manufacturing s il versmith, at 12, Charles-street, Cale donian-road. It was with the greatest difficulty that the inmates were enabled to escape. The pre. mists were burnt out, and the roof is off. The premises of Mr. J. Gregory (No. 13), and those of Mr. W. Sandell (No. 11), are also damaged by water and the furniture by removal. Th e lose will fall on the Imperial, the London and Liverpool, the Sun, and London fire °Meta—Another fire happened on the premises belonging to Mr. R. Dell, a coruchandler, carrying on business at 1181, Lambeth walk. The stores were nearly destroyed, and the greater part of the roof is off. The back of the dwell ing home waa also scorched, and the window glass broken. Mr. Dell we. insured in the Atlas; and San fire offices.—A fire also occurred on the premises of Mr.C. Jones, • tailor, No. 32, Wellington-place, Green-street, Stepney, the whole of the stock is trade being destroyed. Mr. Jour was insured in the Royal Exchangerffios. Tan ROAD Mom:mt.—We hear, on what may be eeambiered reliable authority, that the circumstances conneeted with the mysterious murder of Francis Saville Kent at Road on the 29th of June, 1860, are likely ere long &gala to become the subject of judicial investigation.— rises& IMIOLITION OF HCNOESFORD-BRIDGE. This bridge is rapidly disappearing. Nearly all the framework ham been removed, and yesterday half of one of the tower., from which the chains were suspended, was taken away. The remaining half will probably be removed today, and it is expected that the other tower will disappear before the class of the present week. In the course of a motth or two what was formerly flungerfad-bridge will span the Avon at Clifton. Tim DUTY ort Fox lirstresteca.—The secretaries of the following fire insurance offices for the third year I consecutively have within the put fortnight signed a peti tion to the Home of Commons, for the abolition or reduc tion of the duty on fire insurances.
