LUSHINGTON said, the deceased, Mr. William Weare, of Lyon's Inn, departed this life, under circum stancesw hich were too well known to need repetition, a bachelor, and intestate, leaving two brothers, a sister, and a niece; these parties have been served with a cita tion to shew cause why letters of administration to the deceased's estate and effects should not be granted to Mr. Noel, the Solicitor, of Great Ormond-street, .a creditor to the estate. No appearance has been given in, and the Learned Counsel prayed that letters of ad ministratian might be granted forthwith. Sir J. Nictiot. agreed to the payer. FROST V. BREWER AND ANOTHER. Sir J. Media. delivered his judgment in this case: The decea , ed, Mary Frost, died in September, 1822, a spinster ; she liaJ an only brother, John Ball Frost, who had several children, the eldest of whom was however illegitimate, 'being born before marriage, and at his death his property was so disposed by his will (to which Brewer and Docker were executors), that the eldest son, also named .John Ball Frost, was unps ovided for. The deceased had, however, long entertained a great affec tion towards this son, and- was desirous of providing for him ; she therefore had executed a document, by which she bequeathed all her property to her brother, for life, and afterwards to his son; this will was dated in September, 1820, and was opposed on two grounds, viz. insanity and abandonment. Now, upon looking at the evidence, the Learned Judge perceived. that about the latter end of 1820, or the beginning of 1891, she became insane, but it was not proved that she was, insane at the time of executing the document, besides which it contained her intentions expressed for a long time before of providing for this illegitimate son, and therefore there did not appear to be anything strange in the act itself. As to the principle of abandonment, he conceived there was no ground for supposing that to hare taken place, because although the decea s ed had only signed a draught of the will. and became insane before the will was drawn out, yet the property was dis posed according to her long expressed desire, and there f) re the principle of abandonment could not apply.— Under all the circumstances, the Learned Judge decreed for the will in favour of John Ball Frost, her nephew. FRENCH PRETENDER. &MOM THE NEW TOME (MUTTS OH MAT 11. IMPOSTURE.—A Frenchman calling himself Louis XVII. has made his appearance in Washington, who pretends to be the son of Louis XVI. of France, the Dau phin, whose birth was so brilliantly celebrated through out the United States, at the close of the revolutionary war ; and who was murdered in Paris by the cut-throats of the French Revolution in 1794. Some few years since a person, probably the same, attempted a similar imposition in France, and excited some attention, and the sympathy of the old Royalists, until his birth and parentage were ascertained by the police. Ills father was found to be a carpenter. He is, of course, about the age the Dauphin would have attained, had he have lived; and he is reported to have the complexion and features of the Bourbon family. His story is, that he uls carried from the Temple secretly, to the Alps, and thence to Cuba, and there taught the trade of a carpen ter ; what has been his history since, is to be learned. The alluded to in the above ~ ral has person , paragraph made the following publication in the IVashinston ablican : 1, Louis Charles, Duke of Navarre, Dauphin of France. an noonce to the Citizens of the United States, that I possess sufficient proof that I am the son of Louis XVI. that I have just withdrawn myself from those who had kept me until this time prisoner in the Island of Cuba. I intend to have an abridged history of the dif ferent events of my life printed, which shall be made public, in order to counteract the efforts of all calumniators. If am an Ws postor, let me be transported to France, in order to be tried by the laws of the kingdom. If my claim is just. what honour for the American nation to Testa:. to France the rightful heir of a King to whom it is under great obligations, and whose object would be to give peace to the world, and happiness to the Republic. The distress to which I em reduced after a long journey. makes it ste el:wary for to, to request the national aid. Those who .ire willing to assist use are requested to call at Mrs. Nordin's, opposite the Centre Market, rennsylvania Avenue. " CHARLES X. King of France. " Washittgton, May 1, 1894." A tremendous hail story 9th inst. ravaged se veral Communes of the Northern Departments of France. It bas been lately decided in one of the Judicial Courts of the United States, that Bermuda is not in the West Indies. Insurance had been effected on a ship "at and from North Carolina to a port or ports in the West In dies." A loss happened; and the underwriters objected t.) paying. on the. ground that the ship had deviated from the course marked in the policy by going to Ber muda. 4 It is added that numerous maps and treatises os geography were resorted to in Court, and many commercial men examined. Sunday afternoon, Richard Smith, servant to Miss Brooks, of Sydenham, was sent to Mr. Doo, a boat builder, for a boat, to take his mistress an airing on the water, when on his return with the boat, he was pulling it towards the steps leading from Miss Brooks's garden to the canal, he fell overboard. and was drowned. It is vsparkable that the servant whom the deceased sqC•, • ceeda(tleary Large) was one of the two.parsona, who w ere enfortoaately butntto death, white vanfintal kitho cage atlievrithans tome time ago. .. . testerdkr being the day appointed nit three ascent Mr. Graham on his seventh orbit extursiais, thtgarch of White Conduit House Tavern were filled at an early period of the day, it having been notifiedthat the balloon would be prepared for flight precisely at three o'clock. At this period, however, it was not one-third part in flated, and public impatience began to manifest itself, in no very gentle strains, at the delay. At abiltit a quarter past five the filling of the balloon was completed, and the ring, to which the ends of the ' net work were to be fastened. was introduced under the neck of the balloon. This ring was formed of cane, bound together by a strong leather casing, and to the upper side were attached twelve iron loops working ' with a spring, similar to that employed in dog-chains, to which were inserted the twelve endsof the net-work. On the under side of the hoop were six iron loops to re ceive the cords that attached the car to the balloon. These loops, however, were without springs, their place being supplied by the loops that were attached to the upper end of the cords. At a few minutes before six, the car, which, together with the balloon, we described in our account of Mr. Graham's former ascent, wan brought immediately under the balloon, and the busi' tress of fastenim: it to the Ting was pei formed in about ten minutei: the last operation was fastening the six cords, that had been the principal means of bolding the balloon during the inflation, to the ring ; and as somas this was accomplished, all was ready for starting. It had a fine effect at this time to watch the undulation, of the balloon, as the wind buffAted it from side to side, while each motion caused a fresh portion of the silk to catch the rays of the sun. A pilot balloon was dis patched a few minutes before six, and remained in sight about 5 minutes, taking nea:lv a due southerly direction. Shortly after six o'clock, Mr. (graham stepped into the car, accompanied by the Gentleman 4011 P was the companion of his voyag e,Capt. lieaul oy,ol the Coldstream Guards. At five minutes after six, everything being ready, the ballon was 100,etted from the stage, to which it had been attached by four strong straps, as well as held down by half a dozen persons, and imme diately mounted into the sky with ;peat rapidity.— After a very few minutes, however, it appeared sta tionary as to height, and it uas only by its giachtal di minution that its progress could be ascertained. For the first minute Mr. Graham stood up in the car, and waved his flag, in which he was joined by the Captain. We believe at this period that he opened the valve, and alloy ed some of the gas to escape, for the balloon still continued in the same level, though its progress honi f.rrttally appeared to be very rapid. At eighteen minutes after Six, when it had been thirteen minutes in sight, the balloon entered a broad band of blue sky; and at this moment commenced to rise very swiftly, we pre sume from the expansion of the gas, as we could not perceive any discharge of ballast : in about three minute:: it had crossed the clear blue, and darted instantaneously into a small cloud, in which it was lost for about a minute, after which it again became apparent for a short time as it traversed a small patch of blue, and be-. came finally lost to sight at twenty•three minutes after six, having been, with the exception already mentioned, eighteen minutes in sight, at first a monstrous thing, to which.om. sight is hardly yet accustomed, and then b) degrees dwindling away till a thin cloud had power t" eclipse its grandeur and magnificence— The one almost as itafipite as all The uther blank as nothing. THE DESCENT. Die. Graham and his gallant companion alighted safe after their perilbus join ney. Mr. Graham gives the fol lowing account of his journey : " Gth hour, five minutes, P.M. I ascended, io entinsanY with Captain Ileaufoy, from the Gardens of White Conduit Mew, and in consequence of my friends making such ample and due arrange ments, I was allowed to mount Into the aerial regions free from any restraint. I ascended with a breeze from the north, and such was the ascensive power of the machine, that in a few moments I should have lost sight of the earth; but being desirous of affording Ile . .‘letropolis a fun view of the balloon, I continued to skfin ever the , tops of the houses amid the cheers Qf many thousands, who occu pied every situation that could command a view : to attain this, object I pulled the line, and opening the valve to a moderate extent, I could observe ourselves passing over Old Father Thames. Hav ing closed the valve we ascended with great velocity, and in about five minutes lost sight of the earth. The eload which the maehitw entered was to appearance particularly dense and gloomy; I was now suddenly seized with a violent sensation of fold and dampness. shivering, and wet with the humidity of the attno+pherr. Every moment seemed to be prolonged its a tenfold radii. The balloon, however, gradually arose into a less heavy atmosphere, hut beneath me the clouds, through which I had lately passed, rimmed an ap pearance truly horrific and dismal, much resembling huge moun tains of dirty ice ; the atmosphere still looked gloomy, but at length the clouds assumed an appearance resembling pale blue, tinged at the extremities with a beautiful vermilion. In passing tin °trait the first gloomy clouds, I felt a very singalar sensation, not tmattem!ed with pain. The machine now ascended rapidly, and I felt %vernier ; there were also occasional breezes; this continued for nearly halt an hour, and communicating my intention to Captain Deau toy, I ; pulled the valve line for the purpose of descending. At this time I calculated we bad arrived at our greatest height, viz. two miles and a half. Having opened the valve 1 discovered we weredetceud ing, but were still making a consi derable progress horizontally.— Now again the clouds around, above, and beneath us, were of the most gloomy and hazy appearance; but breaking through them we entered others of a more serene appearance. Although Captain ileautoy used his telescope he could discern nothing lint clouds piled on clouds, and he in vain sought for a glimpse of mother earth. I now found myself in various currents of air, which forced the ntachiue to all paints of the compa.ss, still descending. I again felt a pain in my head, when suddenly Captain Ileaufoy informed ma that he discovered our native element ; open plains and verdant lawns appeared beneath us. I passed quickly over, and throwing out the grapple arrived &de in the village of Tunbridge, 3a,' miles from London, at eight minutes past seven o'clock, having been in the air one hour and three minutes. Persons flocked to us imme diately front all directions, and we then discovered ourselves in a field belongisg to Mr. Wilke, who was particularly attentive, sod rendered us every assistance in his power. tier, I also discovered the great utility of strong iron spring books, which I had Mimed' to the hoop ; to these the ropes of the netting were loopuel f and titN , avoided, not only the dangerous, but destructive work of cutting the ropes to obtain my liberation from the car. Hattie* left the car, we procured a post-chalw, and the madder, having been lashed on the top, we shortly arrived in °odium,. Here again we experienced the most kind treatment. A Gentientanlamaired with a large cloth, in which I enclosed ibis 11411006, and it 'llawing , been lashed on another chaise, we proseeded to town, and arrived, there a short time before eleven o'clock. Captalo Beat:fay appeared much pleased with his ascent. .1 Tip Spanish Ambassador at the Court of Stockholm, Chevalier listosunso T Davos, died on the 30th May. after a week's illness. He had been Ambassador at that Court forty years. A few weeks since, as a family of some distinction were entering their carriage on leaving a fashionable watering-place, their departure was suddenly prevented by the appearance of swoCustom house officers, who insisted en searching the vehicle for contraband goods. In vain did both Ladiesand Gentlemen declare, as well they !night, that they knew of no such things. The relentless guardians of home manufacture were, however, not to be gainsafll and the whole party having alighted, no time was lost in making the necessary search, when in the front beet was discovered a keg of foreign brandy, the joint adventure, as it turned out, of the footman and groom, who, having afterwards fallen oat, the one Informed against the other. The result was, that the horses, earriages. and contents became forfeited ; and it was not till the owner had entered into the secoseasy ..corky to abide .tho event, that the partpwore allowed to proceed on their journey. A serious actident occurred on Ascot Race-course on Wednesday evening. A Mr. Hetherington, of Stoke Ness ton, Bucks, was leaving the Course in a double-seat chaise, accompanied by his wife, son, and daughter, and on going through at bog at the eltremity of the Course, he applied his %%hip to the horse, when one of the reins brqke. The horse finding his bead at liberty, started off at full speed, and Mr. Hetherington hiving lost all command, tempted to vet on the horse's back, in doing which, he fell, and one y et the wheels went over his body, and he was taken to the first house at hand in a dangerous state. The horse pursued a course at speed towards the dog-kennel, when the chaise was overturned with much force, and Miss Hetherington, 16 years of age, had her right arm broken. The mother and son providentially eseaied with no other injury than that, which was occasioned by fright. NEIN YORK, MAY 16.—Last evening the steam-boat Etna, a passage boat running beta ecn this and New ilranswick, on the route to and from Philadelphia, burst her boiler, when within five miles of this city, and be tween twenty and thirty passengers were killed and wounded ; ei;;ltt bodies are fnund, four of which are Ladies, and isle the daughters ofjob Forman, a merchant of this place; t.n are now at thy hospital, some of whom are in a very dangerous state ; four are known to have jumped nye: boat d, one of whom was saved. Wednesday an Inquisition was taken before Mr. SUIL TON, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Chalks Scollett, a child six years old. It appeared the child resided with a relation of the name of Smith, a bookseller, in St. John -street, who had left him for a few minutes on Monday motaing, while be went up stairs, during which time the boy got playing with the fire, and was amusing himself with lighting matches and pieces of paper, by which unfortunately he set fire to his dress. liis screams brought Kr. Smith and others to his assistance, and the child was thrown upon the around, and the flames extinguished by rolling him up in a carpet, after which he was conveyed to St. Barth°. lornew's Hospital, where he died the same day. Ver dict— Accidental Death. COLODICIA 24 NAVAL VICTORY.— The Bolivar and Boyacca, Colombian vessels of war, arrived at Pensa cola on the 18th of April, with their prise, the ,Spanish corvette Ceres. By the account of the action in the Pensacola Papers, it appears that the engagement lasted about fifty minutes, when the Ceres struck to the Boli var, being completely cut up, with scarcely a rope standing, and having several shots in her bull. The Ceres mouuted thirty-six long Parisian 18-pounders, and two chasers, and had a complement of 62.6 Men ; the Bolivar carried twenty-two 62-pound carronades, and one long 12-pounder, with 156 men : the Boyacca, Cap tain Brown, has twenty 32-pound carronades, and two short 12-pound gunnades, and 140 men. The Ceres had 30 men killed and 60 wounded, SO of whom have since died of their wounds. The Bolivar had none killed, and only four wounded, among whom were Commo dore Beluche and Lieutenant Booth, commanding ma rines, both very slightly. The Boyacca bad none killed, and but one wounded. An old Officer had lost art eye in the wars, and sup plied it with a glass one, which he always took out winin, he went to bed. Being at an inn he took out this eye, sand gave it to the simple wench who attended, desiring her to lay it on the table. The maid afterwards still waiting and staring, " What do'st wait for?" sail the Officer. " Only for the other eye, Sir."

In their defence, the prisoners said they were formerly In a very respectable line of life, and had been driven to their present occu pation by distress. NliNcitett said that was no excuse for extorting money from the crejidous and foolish; but, as there was not sufficient evidince against Vincent of co-operating in the fraud, he ordered him so be discharged, and Mrs. Vincent to be sent to the shady recesses of Tothill-Selds fbr six weeks.

The assemblage of beauty and fashion on the Course far es_ ceeded the muster of the previous days. Notwithstanding the sat,. favourable state of the weather in the morning, the roads in an L. reetions were covered with splendid equipages, among which w ere many belonging to persons of the first distinction. The scene i Windsor Park. about twelve o'clock, was extremely imposing. The avenues leading through its romantic glades, tow.:rds Ascot Heath, were thronged with vehicles of every description ; 21 4 ;„ dense was the multitude at one time, that for miles it had the ap. pearance of being one continuous procession. His Majesty, accompanied by the same distinguished individuals whose names we mentioned on Wednesday, again witnessed the sports, and continued till the whole were brought to a conclusion. Ills Majesty was in high spirits, and continued to converse with the several Noblemen by whom he was surrounded during the day. I n addition to those who were present on the first two days, we noticed the Duke of Portland, Lord Harcourt, Lord Clarendon, Wm.

Lord Caventlish's Bizarre was considered the only fit upponenf, and all the others were drawn. Bizarre took the lead at starting, and maintained it the whole of the race. On passing the betting stand, Barefoot attempted to gain the lead, but, with all use whip. ping and spurring of the jockey, he was unable to cope with Lis antagonist, who won by half a length.
