This was a tc,tamentary cause arising out of the last will of the testator in this cause, who was an old Gen tleman at Bristol, of considerable property. It appeared from the voluminous evidence, which has been occupy. ing the Court for some time back, that the deceased at one time was on bad terms with his family, and that he went to live with the persons who were the plaintiffs in this cause. He also made a will, by which some part of his property was bequeathed in their favour. He afterwards became reconciled to his family, and was prevailed upon by the defendant, Jane Evans, his niece, to leave Bristol. He made a second will in favour of this patty. The question was, which spoke most truly the intentions of the deceased ? on one hand it was as serted that he had been seized with an apoplectic fit be fore making the last will, and that he was hurried away from Bristol against his consent. This was .febutted by evidence of a contrary nature, the object of which was to thew that he was in the entire possession of his faculties at the time of making his last will. These were shortly the facts of the case. The property in question was about 2,0001. Sir J. Nicom., in a judgment of nearly four hours, teviewed in detail all the evidence which had been offered on both sides. In the course of his observations he was led to censure some attempts which had been Made to shake the credit of the attesting witnesses to the last will, such witnesses being always witnesses fur the Court. Alter a close canvass of the merits of the case, he concluded by giving judgment in favour of the last will, of which he granted probate to the parties. The Cana was afterwards occupied in hearing Dr. Dodson in Lewis v. Muschet, who •appeared to support the will of the testator made in 1813, in behalf of hiss illegitimate son.—No judgment given. 0' DOHER l'l'S MAX/11/S. rnom THE FORTHCOMING FUMIIiR OF RLACIEWOOM'S MAGAZIN& 3laxna 32..—Never take lobster sauce to salmon ; it is mere Tainting of the lily, or, 1 should rather say, of the rose. The only true sauce for salmon is vinegar, mustard, Cayenne pepper, and arsley. Try this once, my dear Dr. Kitchener, and I have note- , citation in betting three ten-pennies that you will never depart front I it again while the breath of gastronomy is in your nostrils. As for 1 the lobster, either make soup of him, or eat him cold (with cocum-1 bet) at supper. klaxus 40.—You may always ascertain whether you are in a city or a village, by finding out whether the inhabitant* do or do not care tor or speak about'aottransta three days ifter it his happened. Mazur 42.—Never boozify a second time with the man whom - ou have seen misbehave himself in his cups. I have seen a great deal of life, and I stake myself upon the asaation, that no man ever says or does . that brutal thing when drunk which he would not :a% say or do when sober ff he dues*. .'Slaxtx 43.—1 n literature and in love we generally begin in bad taste. I myself mote very pompous verses at twenty, and my first. 'lane was a flaunting, airy, artificial attitudinizer, several years ~:der than myself. By means of experience we educate our into. Eination, and become sensible to the charm of the simple and the snafFected, both in beUea and belles-lettres. Your septuagenarian of accomplished taste discards epithets with religious scrupulosity, nd prefers an innocent blushing maiden of sixteen to all the blazing Duchesses of St. James's. MAXIM 60.—1 t is the prevailing humbug fur Author to ab stain from putting their names on their title-pages--and well may I call this a humbug, since of every book that ever attracts the smallest attention the Author is instantly just as well known as if he had clapt his portrait at the beginning of it. This nonsense ,sometimes annoys me, and I have a never-failing method. My way is this : I do not, as other people do, utter modest, mincing, little compliments, is hopes of seeing the culprit blush and thereby betray I:imself. This is much too pretty treatment for a man guilty of ~,:laying upon the .public—and, besides, few of Ahem can blush. I pretend the most perfect ignorance of the prevailing, and, of course, st suspicion ; and the moment the work is mentioned I begin -baring it up hill and down dale. The company tip me the wink, nod, frown in abundance—no matter. On I go, eturdicus, and one I.: two good things is the result, viz. either the anonymous hero 'vaseth wrath, and in that CAM: the cat is out of the puke for ever ' and a day; or he takes it in good part, keeping his countenance w!th perfect composure, and then it is proved that he is really a tensible fellow, and by consequence really has a right to follow his (..:sti fancies, however ridiculous. 31azot 67. —The extreme instance of the bathos is this :—Any mudern sermon after the Litany of the Church of England. !sisals( 74.—The controversy respecting the fit liquor for punch i• far from being set at rest. As some folk mention Dr. Kitchener, may as well at once dispose of him. In his 477th nostrum he professes to give you a receipt for making lemonade in a minute, he commences by bidding you mix essence of lemon peel by .:4:,eet with cipilLtire. How that is to be done in a minute passes : 1 4 comprehension. Ditt waving this, he proceeds to describe the roass of acid making, and then, in the coolest and most audacious way in the world, bids you put a spoonful of it into a pint of water, which will produce a very agreeable sherbet. " the addition of rum and brandy (ouoth our hero) will convert this into ruNcii bIILECTLY." What a pretty way of doing busiuess Allis is !

Whyythe spirits were first to be considered. - - At the trial of the pix on 'Tuesday, Mr. JOHNSON the, zssayist, reported that the coinage issued by Lord MARVIHMOUCH up t last October, contained a few grains of gold more in proportion directed by the standard, and the issues by Mr. IVALLACE, up to th« present time, were in the same propottion. • Friday,the populous and:flourishing town of Waalwyk. it I 101 l atal, was desolated by a dreadful lire, whisk broke out in tht afternoon, and reduced to ashes above fifty 'houses, including t h, t Town 1141 and simeen barns.

The house was full, and the applause more frequent and rapturous Man ever. At the conclusion, while still in the dress of Mr. Camelios O'Stellivart;he took leave of his audience in tbe;following words: • 0 Ladies and Gentlemen—ln once more taking my leave of you for a season, I wish I could think on something to say which would entitle you to exclaim, with our lute friend, Mr. Thny," Well, I never heard that before!" Bet the language of grateful acknow ledgment is soon exhausted, however unbounded may be the feeling that prompts it.' To say that I am proud of ybur applause, and grateful for your kindness, is a '• twice-feid eels," which has been more than thrice repeated; but be assured that the undiminished favour I have experienced has, year after year, increased my anxiety to merit your smiles, and will leave an indelible recollec tion on my heart, when I and my humble efforts to amuse you may perhaps be forgotten. " While thus encouraged, It would be affectation, if not ingrati tude, to talk of retiring front public life. While I continue, there fore, to receive your approbation, I shall continue my endeavours to deserve it; and trust I shall next year be able to present you with something at least as well deserving your attention as anything I have heretofore had the pleasure and honour of submitting to your notice. With this hope, and the gratifying anticipation of soon meeting you again, Ladin and Gentlemen, I most respectfully and cordially bid you farewell." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Through the kindness of a friend, we were yesterday enabled to give an account of Mr. Sadler's ascent in a balloon on Monday, at Edinburgh, which, it appears, was in commemoration of the Repeal of the Hides and Skins Bill. The balloon, after being visible for an hour and 38 minutes, descended near Leven, in Fife, at two minutes after five o'clock, the aeronauts having encoun tered no adverse accident whatever. It deserves to be noticed, as a mark of disinterested friendship, that the whole body of scientific gentlemen of Edinburgh came forward and rendered every assistance in collecting the money, &c. for the aeronaut. The Governors of Heriot's Hospital, besides giving the tax of the green, handsomely afforded Mr. Sadler the accommodation of a room in the Hospital, to carry on his prepara tions. On the Castle Hill arrangement was made for charging sixpence each from all who entered, but at a quarter past one the barricadoe was forced, and the populace rushed in promiscuously. This charge, we believe, would have been cheerfully submitted to, had not the pressure of the crowd been so great as to render it an act of absolute necessity to force the banter. There was, how ever, a handsome offer made!to collect something for his behoof in the Castle, whisk was crowded with spectators in every part, from the lose of the rock to the summit of the highest tower. Every roof and chimney in both towns were occuisied, and the Calton Hill was covered with well-dressed crowds. Even Salisbury Crags and Arthur's Seat had their share of admiring gazers. On no occasion since the King's visit has there been such a general turning out of the Fopulatlon. NEW NATIONAL SCOTCH CHURCH. Yesterday the foundation stone of the new National Scotch Church, to be erected in Regent-square, north of the Foundling Hospital, was laid with the usual so lemn ceremony. Amongst the distinguished persons present we noticed, the Earl and Countess of Breadal bane and daughter, Earl. Gower, Earl of Roseberry, and Lady Chetwynd, with a number of the Scotch No bility and Gentry. At one o'clock a communication arrived from his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence and St. Andrew, expressing his regret that indisposition prevented his attendance. • There was a numerous procession on the occasion.— The prayer was read by the Rev. Dr. Manuel ; after which the Rev. Mr. Irving delivered a suitable address. The stone was then laid in the usual form by the Earl of Breadalbane. A Psalm was afterwards sung, in which the children joined. The Reverend Dr. Blyth, Moderator of the Presbytery of London, then offered a short thanksgiving, and the Rev. Edward Irving con cluded with the benediction. At the conclusion, three cheers were given, and the band struck up " Go 4 save the king. The Earl of Brcadalbane, on taking leave,-expiessed the delight and gratification he felt at the manner in which the whole ceremony had been conducted. Letters and Papers have been received from Gibraltar to the 14th ult. These state, that on the 10th of that month, a French schooner had arrived there from Cadiz with troops on board for Carthagena. The Board of Health at Cadiz, wishing to guard against the inwo auction of the yellow fever, which, as the French troops were in Cadiz, would probably be much mote fatal than usual, had come to the determination of closing the port of Cadiz against vessels from the Spanish Antilles, and the Islands in that neighbourhood, or 'from the Mexican Gulf and Costa Firma, and of send ing them direct to the Laaaret at Port Mahon, and as the hot weather was shortly expected to set in, the mea sure was expected to be put in force immediately. Late yesterday afternoon a sudden depression oc-, cuffed iu the price of Consols, in most of the northern Government Securities, and in those of Portug4l, but particularly the latter, which declined full 1 per cent. while the depreciation of the others did not ex ceed halt per cent. The circumstance was currently ascribed to the arrival of some unfavourable intelli gene from Lisbon, communicated by an express fr urn Falmouth ; but nothing transpired on 'Change to give authority to this rumour. The immense wealth of Mr. Bowes, father of the late Countess of - SraATOMOttit, arose in a great part from his mines in Durham. He paid in tithe to the Rector of one parish, an equitable ;nodes of £7OO per annum. Tire liviag, exclusive of this, was worth only £lOO. The Rector became covetous of a larger nzodas, and demanded £l,OOO per annum. Mr. BOWES de sired a few days to.consider the matter. In the interim, he sent for his head miner, and gave him orders to shut up the shaft then in use, and to open one in the next parish, N. here was a very poor living. He then sent word to the covetous man that the shalt was shut up, and should never be opened while the living was held by ham.

BALLOW, ASCENT. It was announced smite days ago that Mr. Ro:sitor, a painter and glazier, in Tichfield-stteet, and one of the late Mr. Harris's ComMittee, and the uncle of his widow, would ascend yesterday in the balloon which had proved fatal to that unfortunate Gentleman, for the benefit of his widow and family. Something was also said about a young Nobleman, who was to have come of age on that day, ascending with him.— The place fixed upon for the ascent was the garden of the Bedford Arms public-house, Camden-town—the time four o'clock. Long before that hour arrived, num bers of persons of all conditions were to be seen moving along Tottenham-court-road, and as it approached nearer, the crowds flocking towards Camden-town in all directions, both on foot and in vehicles, increased rapidly. We were considerably disappointed, therefore, at the comparatively few individuals who appeared within the gardens; the others estimating the gratifica tion of their curiosity at a hundred per cent. less ; and therefore remaining on the cheaper side of the walls Still, however, the number inside, not taken relatively, was very considerable; and we were gratified ta learn that upwards of 3,000 tickets had been sold. The pro cess of inflation commenced at about half-past two o'clock, and proceeded rather slowly. The balloon, which we described upon a former occasion, was at tached to a platform about five feet high; and also held fast by ropes fastened to poles erected at some dis tance from the platform. Mr. Rossitor himself took an active part in superintending the arrangements. lie is a thin middle-aged man, and was dressed in a plain suit of black. We saw nothing, however, of his intended noble companion : perhaps his Lordship, upon reaching his full age, attained at the same moment his age of discretion. In the meantime two candidates presented themselves for the vacant seat in the car; one was Mr. Richmond, of Bow -street, the other a Mr. St. Aubyn, who stated that he had already made an aerial excur sion, having ascended with his father in a balloon from some part of France (Nantes, we understood). Mrs. Rossitor having expressed a great reluctance to her husband ascending without some person who had been up before, the Committee decided in favour of Mr. St. Aubyn's claim. He is a gentlemanly lookig young man, apparently about 20 or 22 years ofllge. At about five o'clock, the inflation being completed, the car was attached to the balloon. Several bags of sand, and a couple of pigeons, were put into it. Mr. Rossitor then came forward to the edge of the platform, and ad dressed the persons near him : he said that he had to return them his most grateful acknowledgments on be half of the widow and friends of the late Mr. Harris, for their kind support upon this occasion. He felt great pleasure in exhibiting to then in return, a most beau tiful piece of mechanism ; and he trusted soon to be able to shew diem that its security was equal to its beauty. He then bade them farewell, amidst warm and hearty cheers, and prayers for his safety. All his friends shook him by the hand ; as indeed did every person who was able to reach him. The scene at this moment was one of very intense interest. Mr. Rossitor was himself in deep mourning for a near relative, who had but a short period before met his fate by a similar experiment in that very machine; and he was sur rounded by his wife and children, also in black. When, therefore, he took leave of his children, particularly the younger ones, on the platform, and stepped into the car, the feelings of the spectators may be more easily fancied than described. As soon as he was seated, he took off his hat and put on a sealskin cap. Mr. St. Au byn mounted the car nearly at the same time. When just stepping in, his cheek appeared to blanch for a moment, but he instantly recovered his intrepidity; and as soon as the balloon was detached from its fastenings, and began to ascend, he stood up boldly, and taking off his hat, waved it to the people. The balloon, however, was either not sufficiently inflated; or there spas too much ballast in the car ; for no sooner had it quitted the platform a few yards, than it fell to the ground.— Some ballast was immediately thrown out, and it rose a little, but it came against the corner of an outhouse, from which there was sonic difficulty in getting it clear. Mr. St. Aubyn again tossed out a few bags of sand, and it began to ascend steadily until it came in contact with one of the poles, width held it for a moment or two, and excited considerable apprehensions lest the top of it, against which the wind pressed it with great force, should penetrate the balloon. It soon, boa ever, disen gaged itself, and being then clear of all obstacles, it arose majestically to a considerable height, and pro ceeded north-eastward. There being a fresh breeze at Ithe time, and the sky being much clouded, although the clouds did not hang low, the voyagers, or rather the beautiful machine that sustained them, only remained in sight for about five or six minutes, when, entering a dense fleece of vapour, it was completely veiled from our view. In about five minutes afterwards, the most painful alarm was excited by its re-appearance, as it was supposed, descending rapidly. The balloon seemed to have emitted the greater part of the gas, and hung heavily on one side, which caused a clumsy rotatory motion. It was at too great a distance to discern the car, but from the evident velocity with which it was . approaching the earth, all hope of the unfortunate aeronauts safety was abandoned ; and the general eja culation was, "Oh ! GOD, they are dead men." The alarm, however, subsided, upon its being stated that the object in view was only a kind of pilot balloon sent up from some part of the City. BETTING -ROOM.

These pigeons belonged to a person named Green, near St. Luke's Church, and their owners were posted on the top of the house, to watch their return; at ten minutes to eight o'clock they were gra tified by observing one of the birds winging his way towards his home, and In a few mtnutes he was received by his master. It had a label fastened to its leg with these words: " A safe descent, at ten minutes past siz o'clock. in Havering Park, Rumford." This piece of intelligence was hailed with much joy, and the receiver im mediately posted off for the Bedford Gardens, where a large assem blage of persons were anxiously waiting to learn the result of the ascension. One of the Committee, who received the messenger, came I on the balcony looking into the gardens, and read aloud to the com pany the contents of the label. It was received with many cheers. At half-past ten o'clock, Messrs. Rossiter and St. Auben arrived in a post-chaise from Rumford. Their entrance into the Gardens was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, and they were escorted to the Committee-room, preceded by the band, playing See the Conquer ing Hero cones.' They both appeared much fatigued, and were, consequently, unable to give any detailed account of their aerial voyage. Mr. Rossiter said they had a most pleasant journey, and one that be should not hesitate again to undertake. slr. Itussiter said the greatest elevation the balloon attained was two miles and a half, and considering the journeys taken by other aeronauts in a much larger nuichit.e, it is rather singular he should have gained so great 'a height. 'use barometer, he believed, stood at thirty-two degrees when he ascended, and when at the greatest elevation, stood near the freezing point. He landed without any difficulty, and without the balloon sustaining the slightest injury. The Earl of Itossurx. Lord ALVANLEY, and Lady t;:: =Mirth PAL[, had ditwer parties yesterday. JA..JI•oI.

The pressure was so great yesterday at the Fives' Court, that the Master of the Ceremonies, Paddington Jones, had all his work to do to bring the men to the set-to. The bouts were scientifically managed as follows :—Donovan, or Donahugb, or don't knew Wm, but a very good man, had a turn with Burke of Woolwich; the latter is an undeniable man, but he bad much work to keep Pat (Wendy quiet. Until the great set-to, Gadsee and `Vest, Deaf Davis and Laza. rue, Cooper and Reidy, and Mickey and' Seabrook exhibited. Cur tis and Teasilale made a very flee set-to in science and hitting. Tee ner (not Ned) and the Sailor Boy followed, and then came the looked-for turn. Sraum •vu LANCAL—Nrither have perfectly recoveted from the effects of the warfare at Chichester. Spring's hands had got better, but one of his arms was not quite right. Langan had an• flounced in his bid that he should have all the assistance Spring could give him, and the retired Champion set-to. It was a foe simile of the fight at Chichester; Langan in full action made all the play, but he was met with superior science and length; and certain it was he had the worst of the set-to, Langan then addressed the assemblage in nearly the following words:—" Gentlemen, the first wish nearest my heart is to re turn thanks for the kindness and attention received in this cg try I trust, and believe me when I say, that I do not appear here in anything like a national point of view. There is no man that loves Ireland and her sons better than I do. My pretensions are to show as a man amongst pugilists, to contend for the Championship of England. I will contend with honour, and that shall be my pride, or I should be undeserving of that patronage which you have so liberally bestowed upon me. When I met the Champion of Rog land at Manchester, my friends backed me for that sem which was asked, 3001. I would be proud to have my name intoned in history amongst those brave champions, Jem Belcher, Pearce (the Game Chicken), John Gulley, Cribb, and Tom Spring. I am now willing to accept a challenge to fight any man in England, to fight • for that enviable title for the sum asked of me by Spring, 3001." Jem Ward mounted the stage, and said that be would fight any man in the world for 2001. Voices called out—" Why not fight for 3001. when the other man is ready ?"—There was no reply, and there the matter rests. BOXING. Moss, the Tinman, and 11. Arnold, the reputed best ones among . the provincials, met at ten o'clock yesterday morning, at Gage Hill, six miles from Taplow, Bucks, to fight out their match for 100 so vereigns. Moss has been proved out and out, and Arnold would have been matched against Cannon, but for the latter spoiling the John Bull fighter. It was a rare manly stand up min of 35 mi nutes, each ready and stubbornly keeping towards the scratch.— Alois was seconded by Flowers; and Arnold by one of the Wilt shire single.stick players, of the name of Wicks. They fought seven rounds, when Moss placed a full facer upon the olfactory organ, which renewed the streams of claret, and won him the fight, through a scheming match, or what in technical term♦ is called dorm.
