Pool Mr. Feasinzaz Dmrr enjoyed the pro verbial luxury at the embarrassment of riches. He bad realized a sum of some fifty thousand pounds, and his business as a watchmaker brought him yearly eight thousand pounds. He had neither wife nor children : but he numbered amongst his friends not only an eminent lawyer, one of her Ms.; tares Camel, but brothers and sisters, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces. " Where the carcase is, " there will the eagles be gathered together," and the scene in the clockmaker'a room above his shop in the Strand a few mouths ago is a touching illustration of the old saying. There lay the sick man, attended by his two nieces and a disreputable surgeon—surrounded by his clocks, his chronome ters, his compasses, and his other scientific instru ments—his door besieged by his relations, who in turn were kept outside by his legal friend and adviser, Mr. EDRUND BRUCE= DazusoN, Q.C. To get away from all this turmoil and con fusion was eseential to his possible recovery, but the thing was impossible. As Mr. PANT RIDOR, the eminent surgeon who was called in, de clared, " Everybody objected to everybody else," and after infinite disputes and discussions the wretched man remained in his workshop till death bore him away from all his sufferings. Then arose the grand contest as to who should share in the magnificent fortune he had left be hind ; and this contest has just been terminated after a trial of three days before Sir CRISWELL CRESWELL in the Probate Court at Westminster. It seems that Mr. 7R/LDIRD.M Darr was the step son oiliness's Jour Darr. the original founder of the family. Bewail) had been a workman in ARNOLD'S shop—had set up for himself in busi ness, and had left by his will a considerable for tune to his step-son Feenmuce. Mr. E. B. DENI SON, though an eminent barrister, was scarcely leas devoted to mechanics, especially to cloekmaking. He was the intimate friend of EDWARD Darr—con sulted by him in all his affairs, and besides being his executor, bad dictated the =issuer in which ho should dispose of his property. To allow the great authority exercised by the Queen's Counsel over the ingenious workman, he only ac• cepted the office of executor upon the condition that the will should be made according to his advice. From this will, it is proper to ob serve, Mr. Dminsoe derived no sort of benefit. The result was that he obtained for FRIDERICIL a mach larger share of his step-father's fortune than was originally con templated. Besides, Mr. DIN/SON promised to be the protector and adviser of Fa ees,sirx, and that promise he failed not to keep—perhaps he kept it too well. Naturally enough, a can of the ability and scientific knowledge of Mr. Denison was much regarded by Mr. FREDERICK DEPT. He was consulted about everything. He constantly vi• sited the shop and want into Mr. DENT'S private apartments. During the life of his wife, Mn Dew; there was no diffktilty about his fortune, for to her be had bequeathed everything. Upon her death, however, the perplexing question of • will was reopened. Mr. Dm had • confidential legal advisee—a solicitor in a well-known boos►— and, following the ordinary course, Mr. DEN MON at first resommended that this gentleman should be seat for. Mr. Dater put the thing aside ; but presently the question recurred ; the two nieces, at the dictation of Mr. D CET, wrote down upon a slate the names of certain legatees, and finally Mr. Demme furnished Mr. Dater with a skeleton will. The blanks were tilled up, partly by Kr. Da:stews himself, with legacies to the amount of several thousand pounds. Mill this would scarcely be considered • complete will, for it did not touch the residua, amounting to about 50,0001. No wonder that Mr. Denison should have said, " You hare not settled the orvat tking yet." How, then, was it settled f Mr. Ditty bad, indeed, told Mr. DEE ISON that he had no difficulty about it ; nor had be at first, for the morning after it was signed he told Mr. Datimox, " Neil , 1 have settled that, and I Aare " pat Ice yoer same at the end." Probably no man ever heard of his good fortune with more startling equanimity than Mr. Denison. He knew the effect of inserting his name was no small thing, and yet he only shook hands with the dying man and said, " I area rery stue,A übl yon." At the seine time, as he says, he just took • hasty glance at the will, to see, perhaps, that matters wore all right, and then recommended that the original should be sent to Coors's. Had this been done, perhaps the three days' trial might have been spared, and Mr. D N NUN might now be in the possession of Mr. Droves fortune of 45,000/. But Mr. Derr de termined otherwise. Two copies were made—one of which was destined for Mr. Diesinow, but the original will and the other copy were kept. The w ill in question was executed on the 10th of March, 1860, and it is a singular document. With the exception of some few legacies to two nieces, to the foreman, and 1501. a year to Mrs. Dm, the testator's mother—inserted by the express direction of her son, the testator—the whole clock business, yielding 8,0001. a year, was placed under the absolute con trol of Mr. BON ErlE D BEMIRE Diwnuow, and the residue, amounting, as Mr. Dimwit him self admits, to 45,0001., was also bequeathed to Mr. BIM UND BUNT DEEIIEOE. The dying man had sprung from humble parents, he had many poor relations, his fortune was large, and yet the chief object of his munificence was a man without children, and tar removed from poverty. At the mann. time Mr. DR:4IEON was a person of • head strong, if not overbearing. disposition. Mr. DENT ow td kiln much. He felt himself under MEW THE Far • thermos I besides pressure, for ho had complained of Mr. " having hunted him up about his will which the poor man was feverish mid gradually sinking under a complication of dbe orders. It is impossible to deny that enormous powers had been left to Mr. DENISON, and it is sot unnatural to suppose that the taidator might dosir• to diminish them. Accordingly, it seems that on the morning of the Ist of April Mr. DENT, of frequently repeating that Mr. DENISON had too much power by the terms of the will, directed that the will should be destroyed by the two young women who attended upon him. Thus arose the chief question discussed in court—namely, whether the testator deliberately directed the destruction I of the will ; and after the distinct evidence of those witnesses, it was difficult to doubt it. In this absence of all contradiction it was impossible for any jury to declare that two young women had deliberately perjured themselves for no l other object than to spite Mr. Dmvssow and to deprive themselves of the legacies to which they would have been entitled had the will stood. There was, indeed, another question raised, whether the testator was competent at the time the act of destruction took place ; but in support of such a view there was not a tittle of evidence. The result is that the will, part of which was ori ginally prepared by Mr. EDMICND BECK ST? DS NISON, is gone, and the 45,000/. which was destined for that gentleman is divided among the relations of FIIZDESRIC Derr. This case conveys • salutary lesson. If Mr. EDYCND BIOICITT DENIBON had only possessed the most ordinary prudence and delicacy, he might have escaped the scandal of the present affair. There is no man of ordinary regard for his good name who, in Mr. Dixisox's position, would have prepared a will for a man in Mr. DINT'S position—much less who nuder the circumstances would have accepted the gift of 45,000!. Imagine a dying man, with his nerves shattered, his mind feeble, and his body exhausted by disease, lying helplessly in that London workshop. What would be said of an attorney or a medical attendant if, instead of reconciling family differences and offering friendly suggestions as to the disposal of a large fortune among needy relations, either the attorney or the surgeon had directed the shopman to turn the mother of the dying issa out of doors " with as little violence as possible,' or had accepted 45,000!. without a word of re monstrance, or without strenuously insisting that the gift must be made only after serious reconsi deration The answer to such a question is too obvious. Let the same measure, then, bo meted to one of her MLizirry's Counsel, however scien tific, or however learned in the law. ROUTE W43Z SUCTION.

You first have the merit and glory of having with your blood inaugurated in these provinces the I government desired by the nation. ' Italy and Victor Emmanuel' Is the motto of your flag. To Victor Emmanuel, who loves you as children, you owe love and filial reverence, and you owe to him the honour which is due to the King of Italy, desired for so many centuries. Soldiers ! if any one of you, profiting by the difficulties inherent to the situation, seeks to excite you to demonstrations of dissatisfaction, regard him as your enemy and the enemy of your country. Self-denial and disci pline are the first virtues of the soldier. Discipline demands that every officer and soldier should be at his proper post. He who, forgetful of his honour and his country, leaves it, will be punished with the greatest severity. " The Commander of the Army of the South, "Naples, Nov. 26, 1860." "(i. Sigroai. SORTIE FROM GAETA. Mow ova sprout onazorovvarr.) PIEMONTE/4B READ-QUARTERS, NOLA DI °ARTA, Nov. 29. Mock heroes are always restless, for their principal aim is to acquire notoriety. General Boeoo, the vanquished adversary of Garibaldi at Melasso, is of the number. When taken pri soner in July last, he gave his word of honour •he would not fight against the Italian army for three months. In order to keep his word and get out of temptation, ha went to Paris to amuse himself. The French people, I cannot tell why, made General Bosco a hero. He soon became the pet of the old `ladies of the Faubourg St. Germain, and was a great deal thought of by the jeusesse deeds who had not joined Lamoriciere's camp. There is nothing more dangerous for a vain man than to maim him believe he is a hero. 80600 was soon spoiled, and the time of his forced retirement iron the Neapolitan army being over, he went back to Gaeta, no doubt with the intention of restoring the fortune of his royal master's arms. If bragga docia and beading had always a chance of success in this world, Bosco would ha►e at once succeeded in forcing our lines, conquering our position, and making Cialdini conceal himself amongst the rashes of die Garigliano, as Marius did when pummel. by Syne. But as the Italian proverb says, " Dal de to al jatto, tei un gran tra#o," so that our Basco, having arranged a sortie for this morning, ilot thoroughly beaten by the Piedmontese, and was compelled to retire again within the walls of Gate, having had about 100 men de combat, and as many Caociatori taken prisoners. When Bono proposed to Francis IL the sortie which ended in such a great failure, General Colonna warmly opposed it on the gionnd that the army was too demoralised for such an enterprise. Marquis Colonna was not listened to, and was obliged to tender his resignation. The sortie was consequently made early this morning by 1,500 men, who, sheltered by a tremendous fire from the fortress, attacked both the Sardinian positions of Borgo and Monte Tortono. Two companies of the 7th Bee saglieri battalion were more than sufficient to repulae the enemy, who, as I said above, after an hour and a halfs fighting, ran within the ramparts of Gaeta with the usual speed sad in shameful disorder.

The decree of the 24th November secures to the government popularity too durable to require that it should at the present time have recourse to new elections ; if, therefore, the Emperor, who is always free to indicate the time far convoking the people for that purpose, will not dissolve the Legislative Body, ought we not to see in this attitude a striking sign of the confidence of the sovereign in the future, and the profound conviction of again boding the country, at the end of the present man date of the legislature, as closely united to the crown as we ,tee it at the present moment?

When the ministers met on the 23rd, under the presidency of the Emperor, nothing in the imperial cone. gave soy indication of his purpose. He soon die- his project. He informed the ministers that he had arrived at the conviction that governments which did not in due time make the reasonable concessions and reforms desired by the country were destined to fall. He had no desire that residence should be carried to en. trendy. He found that such men as H. Bever, for instance, could be a member of a Chamber of Derr ties under the Orleans monarchy, and that legitimists I end Orleanists could sit in the republican assemblies Of 1848-49, '5O, and '5l ; and he saw no reams why those who reflected honour on France by their MUM* and integrity should not come forward and hike part in the bushier of the nation. He declared that be was tired of • " Chambre Jubinal, tic." (they are literally his words, as 1 am assured), and he wanted a far different sort of &em ber. After some farther nemerks, the Emperor read his decree. Had a bomb fallen in the centre of the room where the ministers wen aittiug, no greater astonish ment or dismay could be felt ! Yes, it was • het ; the Emperor positively announced that hberty yea to be given to the Legislative Omps to freely lames the address in reply fo the speech from Om 'throne, end pronounce it. judgment on the illienisfia and foreign policy of the government They *stood, at eat.uttarly . astpn . ished--eatcnished, not be- news thei'were not consulted, for that they were wens towed to, but for many remora known to themselves.

This cave, the title of which is so familiar to the public" came on upon further considerations last term. It was bath e / paper for judgment this morning. In giving it, his Honour observed that the first question in the case was whether the sum 016,000/. was a still subsisting charge on the estate of the testator in the cause. The facts were that on the marmi t e of the testator the sum of 13,0001, was vested in trustees for the benefit of the children of the marriage, of which there was issue only one child, viz., a eon. In November, 1830, the testator and his son executed a deed of the estate, whereby the remainder in fee was limited to the testator. ln December of the same year, under a power contained in the deed, the sum of 6,000 f. was mined by way of mortgage of the estate and as • jointure for the son's wife ; the testator afterwards paid off that sum. On the death of the son, in 1854, the testator became enti tled to the /date in fee in • •oa. At the date (July, 1834) of his will, t ere fore, he was seised in fee of the estate, and absolutely entitled to the charge of 6,0001. The rule, his Honour said, was that when the owner of an estate in fee simple became entitled to a charge on that estate, prima facie in equity, at least, the charge was merged in the inheritance, unless the owner did something indicative of intention to keep it alive. It had been argued that it was the interest of the testator to keep the charge alive, and had the estate been devised to a stranger this argument would have had weight ; but hauimuch as it was devised to the owner of the jointure this circumstance nullified that argument. His Honour, after illustrating the application of the rides of equity goy • cases of this des cription, said there appeared to no reason for the keeping of the charge on foot, and was therefore of opinion that it merged in the inheritance. The next question was whether under the words " all furniture and other mov able goods here," the live and dead stock about the farm, and also a sum of between 400 f. and 5001. ready money, paned. Upm this his Honour was of opin ion that the word " here" had reference to the estate at Swinton, as It was a form of ex premien used by persons in the country, who talked of their property "here,' not meaning thereby simply the pro perty which happened to be in the house in which they were residing. The live and dead stock on the estate, therefore, passed. As to the ready money in the house, in the ordi nary course of things that also passed, though it would have been otherwise had the testator received an unusual sum immediately before his death. Mr. It. Palmer, Mr. Kennedy (of the common law bar), Mr. Hobhonse, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Cole, Mr. Cotton, and Mr. Jones Bateman appeared in the cause. The judgment in this ease stands over, in order to take the examination before his Honour of the parties to the suit. Wood.) NEWALL T. ILLBYI7.—TILLTGRAPHIC CABLE& The Vice-Chancellor gave judgment iu this case. He said the plaintiff was the patentee of an invention for lay ing down telegraph wires, consisting of • cylinder and a spades of cone, round which the cable was coiled. It ap peared that in paying out cables there were two essentials in order to prevent kinking ; that it was necessary to have a large radius for the coil, and next to prevent the rope from becoming slack. This was formerly prevented by men, who kept the rope Mat. The plaintiff's invention had for its object to do away . with the amenity for these men, and for this purpose he introduced the cone into the cylinder. The defendants bed also introduced an internal stay into their cylinder, and this was the matter of which complaint was now made. In reply to the complaint, it was that the defendants' plan simply amounted to pecki eg the Ogbill • that it was • matter of that simplicity th at it co uld not be suect of a patent. But it appeared in fact that this packing was net to be takea way before paying out commenced, but that it was to be In the ewes of paving out And, although it appeared from the evidence that the packing was but put in for the purpose of paying est, Tat in no place was it said that paying out would not, in point of fact, be made easy by it. Upon the whole case, therefore, his Houma came to the conclusion that an injunction must be greeted. MAT'S,/ V. MAXWELL. "THE WEDDING-ItlG9 OP BEIBINTINGTOH•BUTILE•MAkt." This was an action to ninnies the defendants from pub lishing,. selling, or otherwise cirenletleg a tale compeeed by the p6intiff, called "The Fifth Ring; Mr. Odonto Redstart in 'smirch of a Wife, " otherwise than as forming part of the a Christmas samb for Christmas, 1858, of the Welcome Guest. It appeared that in the year 185$ Mr. Augustus /Whew composed the tale above-mentioned, and that the same was published with several others as a Christmas /number of the Welcome Guest, under the title of "The Wedding Rings of Shrimpington-Super- Mare ; with some Stories about those who wore them for Bettor and for Worse." The work was published much, though not precisely, in the same shape as the then current numbers of the Welcome Guest, and though the title Welcome Guest did not appear on the front page, as • title, the number was described as " the Christmas number. of the Welcome Guest." The price of the number was twopence, the then ordinary price of a Welcome Gees: Lein; a penny. The defendant recently matted an advertisement, stating that they were about to publish, in faucT4cards pries two shillings, a work entitled " The Wedding and some stories about those who wore them for better a for worse," and it was to restrain these publications that the present bill was died. The case on the park of the defendants was that the title to the Fifth Wedding Ring as a matter of co py right had not been registered as being is the plaintiff ; that. the defeedaat Maxwell bed become the proprietor of the Welcome Guest, and, as meek, was the proprietor of the stories in the Christmas number, and might publish them as he liked, or at all events might republish the Christmas number, though at • different price and in a different shape. Mr. A. Smith was for the plaintiff ; Mr. Terrell and Mr. Darer for the defendants. The Vine-Chancellor, upon a =ale and careful exami . . nation of the Copyright Act, was of opiniut that the right to prevent the of the tale in question otherwise then as part of this Christmas number of the Welcome Greet, was not • right requiring registration under the Copyright Act. The plaintiff had therefore • title, notwithstandiog that leguil' ation was wanting, sufficient to sup- port his bill. Upon the ether points his Ho nour was of opinion that the defendant showed no right in himself to publish this tale otherwise than as put of the Christmas number of the Won't Greet. This reduced the ()motion to one of fact, viz., whether the work advertised fell within that deacription. Now it appeared that, an advertised, it wan in no way described or referred to se part of the Welcome Guest ; there was no mention whatever made of that periodical, and in feet it appeared that the work would be more than a reprint of the Christmas number, for it would contain an additional tale. It appeared, therefore, that such • publioatiou would bo in the exercise of the defendant Maxwell's rights, and the injunction sought for must be awarded. His Honour, in conolusioo, expressed his hope that the parties would be able to arrange the matter iu dispute. Injunction acconlingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

The consideration of the oertificates of these laankrupts was resumed by adjournment from Wednesday last. Mr. Kerslake (instructed by Means. Murray, Son. and Hutchins) opposed for the assignees ; Mr. W. Williams for the London Joint Stock Bank, the City Bank, and the National Discount Company ; and Mr. Linklater for Mom Leyland and Buller, bankers, of Liverpool. Mr. Lawrence appeased for the bankrupt lAurenoe, and Mr. C. E. Lewis for Mortimore and Schrader. The ease, it will be remembered, was adjourned in the middle of Mr. Linklater's examivation of Mr. Thomas, the bankrupts' book-keeper. The bookkeeper, Mr. Thomas, was then examined by Mr. Linklater. He remembered Mr. Rider being established in business towards the euit of l&16 in Paris. He consigned goods to their house through Mr. Waring. The goods bought by Rider amounted to 59,5751. He drew ou the firm for those gouda. They were sold by Rider to Waring through us. They did not send au invoice to Waring ; it was usually done by Rider. He believed Streatfeild and Co. did not draw on Waring. Rider usually discounted the acceptances of Streistfeild in Paris. There had been accommodation between Rider and Streatfeild's. The amount of accommodation by Rider to Stroatfeild and Co. in 1857 was 21,538/. That was represented by bills which had been renewed from time to time or repeated. At the cud of 18.3 S the amount of en. count:iodation Welded by Rider was 2.43811. Inde pendently of this there were bills remitted by Rider to the amount of 11,0001. They were bills drawn on his own cue. tomer.. To the eaten of 11,0001. the acceptances of their firm were gives to Rider itgautat his drafts.
