In the north•eut barometrical pressure Is low and decreasing, hut .n the south and west coast It Is increasing. Windsare from et,t L. north-west and moderate. Weathers cloudy with de armed temperature ; and rain has been prevalent excepton the northern coast. While inspecting the convalescents at Netley HosOW on Friday last (says the B r iti s h M e di ca l J ourna n her Majesty observed one soldier with six or seven medals ea his breast, and among them a Victoria cross. The Queen stopped, and taking the cross in her hand as it hang smapanded by its riband, asked the owner about the circumstances under which he had gained it. No doubt the man will value the decoration all the more hereafter from its having been in the Queen's hand : he had got it for saving the life of his commanding officer, Major Ewan, of the 03rd Regiment, when attacked by several sepoys during the Indian mutiny. After leaving the central hall, the Queen went through the wards of the medical division of the hospital. Two of the patients were in an almost dying condition, and to each the Queen, in a low voice, addressed some consolatory remarks, staying by their bedsides for some minutes to do so ; and, indeed, to all the men who w ere so ill as to be confined to bed her Majesty made some kindly observation or other. The Quern seemed to be in good health and spirits ; but it was understood to have been intimated that she was not competent for Ito much walking exertion as she had undertaken on some of her previous visits to the hospital. Altogether, her Majesty's visit lasted about an hour, she having landed at 6 o'clock, and re-embarked for Osborne 'little after 7 p.m. Sir F. Crossley, Bart., who in 1857 presented to his fellow-townsmen a people's park, which cost 30,0001. (subject only to the payment of the amount necessary for its maintenance in good order), has commemorated the tenth anniversary of the opening, by presenting to the town a sum of 6,300 f., the interest of which will provide eafficient funds for the payment of the salaries of the park keepers and the other expenses, and the park thus becomes the unrestricted property of the town for ever. THE LATE JUDGMENT IN THE THWAYTES WILL Case—Upon this judgment (says the Lancet) we may remark, after according it the very high praise which is due to its candour and to its subtlety of discrimination, that it was unnecessarily cautious and modest, air J. Wilde might fairly have amend that he could carry every logical reasoner with him to the point (which his own mind had evidently reached) of admitting the exist ease of general, and not merely partial, insanity in the testatrix. He acce pt e d th e lower ground of declaring Mrs. Thwaytes to have been at lout a monomaniac. And he gave the whole weight of his distin guished authority to • confirm a ti on o f th e l ega l doctrine ' that every species of monomania mutt tntee • complete bar to testamentary capacity. The definition of Mrs. Thwaytes's medal state as one of mono- mania was • piece of superfisous caution. The question 'bother simple monomania is a complete bar to testamen lazy capacity has of course two tides. In its purely legal aspect we understand that it is open to some doubts, and that amongst lawyers there are men of eminence who hesi tate to completely endorse the judgment in "Waring v. Waring ;" but this is a matter with which we are imam patent to deal. _ THE LATE SIR WILLIAM STEVENSON, K.C.B.— The mail from Mauritius of th e 13th has brought the account of the erection in the capital of that island of • bronze statue to the memory of their late governor, Sir W. Stevenson, who died at his post from over exertion in the discharge of the duties of his °Moe. Within • few months of his decease • sum of more than 2,000 f. was raised in the island by voluntary subscription for the purpose of erecting this monument to his memory. That the work was completed at a time when the colony is being devas tated by one of the moat fearful scourges of which we have record, and which from a sma ll community has aboady carried off more than 30,000 souls, proves how strongly they feel on the p ier, a n d speeches of Sir Henry Barkly, Sir Gabriel Fropier, and others on the occasion show how thoroughly the character and work of Sir Wit ham Stevenson are appreciated by those in whose service he died. THE LATE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN.—ACCOTIEI4 to intelligence received in Paris from Mexico, the follow ing is the official proclamation by which the execution of the late Emperor Maximilian was notified to the Mexican people:—" Ferdinand Maximilian von Hapsburg, a grand duke of Austria, and an ally of Napoleon 111. of France, came to Mexico to r o b th e country of i ts independence and of its institutions, and, although a mere usurper of the national sovereignty, mimed the title of Emperor. This usurper having been captured by the Republican forces at Queretaro on the 15th May, 1867, he was sentenced to &Mb by a military court-martial, with the concurrence of the nation, and wee shot for his crimes spinet the inde pendence of the nation at Queretaro on the 19th June, 1867, in company with Generals Mirsmcn and Media. Peace be to his ashes." THE EMPRESS Cammorrm—Aocording to the Memorial Diplostatertie. the celebrated &Iglu phydsian. D. Balkaos, was celled to Ilbossest to peon, Man {, lion upon th e s t a t e o f th e Empress Oharbtt e careful study of the case Dr. Butkus uprooted his hope of a slow but certain cure if be were allowed to sithisei the illustrious patient to a system of treatment different from that hitherto adopted, and esteolally to dimatinae the Mete of complete isolation in which theOurnan physicians have kept her. "We are glad to Lima," adds the Memo riot, " from a letter addressed by Dr. Balkan to the Journal dc Bruxelles, that since her Majesty's return to !Agiam there has been • progressive improvement in her health." Tag PARLIAMENTARY TRIBUNAL. —A bill intro duced on the lath kirk, and now on the point of passing its final dace in the House of Commons, is likely to exer cise an important infinenae on the futu re ramie and juris diction of the parliamentary tribitnal. Under the previ sions of this measure, the courts of referees will have their powers considerably extended. It will be remembered with what cautious steps the referee system was established. At first the functions of the new tribunal were confined to the decisions of questions of lame stand(, and to the investigation of engineering details involved in water, gas, or railway projects, leaving questions of policy, finance, de., to be dealt with by members of parliament. Then, with the consent of cl i a: at either side, the referees were enabled to hear and of the entire ens ; and, finally, the monopoly o f gee bi lls became vested in them. It is a natural consequence of the discharge by the refe rees of the duties of committee that it should be proposed to intrust to them the same authority with which commit tee upon private bills have hitherto been armed—namely, to administer oaths and award costs in certain cases and to visit any witness giving false evidence before them with Penalties of perjury. Still, the bill by which those powers will be conferred mark s a distinct stage in the legislation of the House of Commons affecting private business, and Points, and that probably at no distant date, to some gene ral revision of the parliamentary tribunal. The sponsors for the new bill are Mr. Dodson, Colonel Wilson-Patten, and Mr. Wood& Tim Twrarra OF ALTOUST.—The morning of this day of annual interest to sportsmen dawned most suspiciously, and throughout the day the weather for man and dog was all that could be desired. The sky was bright, with not too powerful • sunshine, tempered by fleecy clouds. The atmo s phe re was clear, the a ir ba lm with just such • li g ht refreshing breeze as the ling sportsman and his earnest doge equally require ; sod the blooming heather was dry and fragrant, in viting sweet rest on • soft couch at intervals. About 3 o'clock the breeze fell, and the air felt rather dose for comfort ; but on the whole, in point of weather, it was the finest " twelfth "in our remembrance. Reports will vary from different districts ; and, indeed. In so disease has been so severe that there was no shooting. Our remarks on the sport are confined to the shore moors of Carrick, and we are glad to say that the result confirmed the anticipations we have a:Pressed. There were not so binny birds as last year ; but though well-grown and shy, they were not nearly so shy as last season ; and on the whole more birds were brought to beg. There were • few late covies, but in general they were strong and in fine plumage.—Ayr ddvertieer. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16, 1867. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LANE.—(I77.IB DAY.) Coastwise as well as by rail the receipts of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day were very moderate. The weather having become leas settled .the trade was firmer, and Monday's prices were mostly realised. The show of foreign wheat was good. Rather more steadiness wa s parent in the demand, and previous rates were su Floating cargoes of grain were more sought ire . r . , — al late rates. The market was scantily supplied with barley. The trade ruled firm, at quite Monday's currency. In malt the transactions were on a limited scale, and the quotations were barely supported. For fine parcels of oats the trade was steady, but in ferior sorts were difficult to sell. Prices were unaltered. Beans were firm, on former terms. Peas were in fair request at late rates. Flour was held at previous quotations. Linseed and rapeseed moved off slowly. Clover seed was firm in price, but most other agricult u r a l seeds were dull. Cakes were in fair request at late rates.
