no such will discorered, she must have succeeded, as sole next of kin, to the whole of the property. In it she de scribes her daughter as" Anna Selina Storace, spinsteCl deceased"—as a person, therefsne. who had never been married. Probate of the will being thus take with the full concurrence of the only person who could call this will in question, the executor proceeded to take upon himself the administration of the property. The 5,0001. East India Stock was transferred by the former trustees into the hands of the trustees under this: will; for the benefit of Mrs. Storace, the mother, who re ceived the dividends upon it as long as she lived.— She, herself, 'miter her r,wn hand. dress. out the list the plate of which she was to have the use, doting her life-time. The two thousand pounds which weie given to Mr. John Braham were allowed to be trans ferred to Trustees, for the purpose of educating this young man, Nlr. William Spencer Harris Bralsam. The savin,s of Mrs. Elizabeth Storace, too, who seemed to have been uniformly kind to that party, and on his ac count to have lived as frugally as possible, were devrited to the same purpose. Mr. Borchelt had been evidently roost kindly disposed towards him likewise. Mrs. Elizabeth Sterace having made him, by her will, her universal legatee, he in that character became, at l!er death, I.er representative. It was as her repte.entative t"at he now prayed the Court to revoke the probate which it had granted to the will of 1797, upon the ground that, at the time it was made, the Signora Storace was under coverture, h tying been married, in .e rear 1714, at the Evangelical Ilefoimed Church, in Vi. nna, to a Dr. Fischer. Now the connexion sel.ieh Storace formed with Mr. Braham, the singer, commenced in 1796, and continued, without inter ruption, down to the year 1815, or thereabouts. With Fischer she cohabited only twelve months, having borne him a child, which died in a very short space if time. In 1805, or 1807. Fischer was ascertained to have come over first to England, and then to Ire land, where he supported himself by follow:tig the profession of a music-master. In 1802, Mr. William Braham, the party in this cause, was born. Of course a very important feature in this matter, was the marriage v. ith Dr. Fischer, and it remained to see what sort of proof there was of its solidity. Mr. Michael Kelly was the only witness present at the ceremony; but though his aceisunt was an exceedingly fair one, it was deficient in the most important particular. Indeed his " Remi niscences," in this instance at least, were not very vivid —(A laugh.)—But there were various circumstances, to say nothing of the laxity of morals of both the parties to that man iage, which made the Court doubt very much indeed whether it was really a valid marriage according to the rites of the country. That it was but a mere cere mony, he was disposed to infer from the long subsisting connexion between Signora Storace and Mr. Braham,— from the disappearance of Fischer, and from the notoriety of thecontiezion just named. As the Signora bad acqnired a very large fortune, and Mr. Braham also, it was not to be supposed that Fichte, if this had been really a valid marriage, and such as would have afforded him any legal remedy for the violation of his marital tights, would have quietly acquiesced all these years in her separation trom him, and her new connections with mother individual, by whom she afterwards had several children. -It was also to be remembered, that Mr. William Spencer Braham could :requite no rights as the of this Lady's mother, beyond those which the mother herself possessed, while living; and as she had co-operated in the administration of the pro perty under the will of 1797, and had in-her own affi davit described her daughter to be a spinster, the case set up in respect of Signora Storace's marriage with Fischer fell to the ground, and her will, as that of a femme sole, must be supported. The Learned Judge, after complimenting Mr. Borchelt on the honourable way in which he had discharged all the trusts of the and had completed his administration, two years ago, by paying over the whole balance of the property into the hands of the Accountant General of the Court ff . Chancery, rejected tVilliam Spencer Braham's Peti tion, and condemned him in all costs except those occa sioned by the first application to this Court on his behalf. The property in question is said to be of consider able amount. EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSD tY, JUNE 22, 14,26. ,STOCK SKCIIIANGP., TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The French Papers of Monday and Tuesday have reached us. They contain a letter from the Greek ,Archbishop IGNATIUS to Mr. ETNARD, confirming the previous account of the occupation of Tripolizza by the Greeks. That place was recovered by the gallant NicerAs, on the 15th of May, three weeks after the fall of Missololghi. The pleasing intelligence is also conveyed by the worthy Archbishop—that 700 women and children had succeeded in effecting their escape with the portion of the garrison of Missolonghi which had cut its way through the enemy; they were all safely arrived at the camp at Cravari. The captives sent to be sold at Arta and Pi eve.a did not exceed 1000. Toe.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. SOMERSETSHIRE—'-kcentsvta, Tamar. At teffle o'clock this mornipg, the Sheriff took his seat in the Courthouse, and Sir Thomas Lethbridge and his son, and Mr Hunt, soon followed. The voice of Mr. Hunt was heard long before he was seen. One of the poll-clerks was objected to by Mr. Hunt, upon the ground that he kept the post-ofEce. Baker (looking up at Mr. Hunt)—That's another falsehood. I keep no post-office. Mr. HUNT—Mr. ShesifT, this is the effect of the dis graceful conduct pursued yesterday. The language used by the other candidates has been imitated by all their IoW dependents. I said )eiterday that the well dressed rabble required to be checked. Why is this ? Baker said he kept no post-office ; and repeated that Mr. Hunt had asserted a falsehood. • ' Mr. !NAV—Ay. What are we to expect from such rascals—from fellows who ate dragged up to make a member, whether they will yr no? Sir THOMAS LISTHORIDGE (to Mr. Hun•)—Why do you not behave as you ought ? I am deter mined, what ever may be the consequence, that the county of Somer. set shall not be insulted by you. Mr. HUNT—lnsulted by me! the county is insulted' and disgraced by you. This fellow (pointing to the poll clerk) takes his cue from you. The well dressed rabble cry out, in answer to every charge, " 'Tis false —'tis a lie—you lie." They follow the example set by you. Dickinson and Lethbridge talk of manners! was this a proof of it ? sir T. Lirrnsoznes.—You are insulting the freeholders. The UNaut SHERIFF then called upon the voters to come forward and take the oath against bribery and corruption. A number of voters, who evidently came to poll for Mr. Hunt. then stood forward; they declared their readiness to take the oath. Mr. HUNT—Ay, they will do it without hesitation ; they will do it without quivering the lip. There is not a man in that group opposite to you (pointing to the Huntites) who is not de ermined to give a conscientious vote; there is not one slave amongst them. What do you think of that, Sir Thomas ? Sir Tklo3/All smiled again. but made no observation. The Usorta-Suauter here suggested to Mr. Hunt the propriety of his (Mr. Hunt's) furnishing a list of his voters, in order to facilitate the business, which other wise would be much protracted. Mr. HUNT.—I do not know the names of any of those Gentlemen—they are no slaves (looking contemptuously at Sir Thomas) —they come here voluntarily, they are not like your dependents. I don't keep a list of them as I would of my dogs.—(Laughter and marmurs)— Mine are all honest men, and come bete to take their oaths without quivering lips. A Voter—Any man who says I am not an honest man is a rogue. [Here an attorney made some observations with respect to object dons made the day Wore by Hr. Hunt to some voters, who pre.. seated themselves on the side of the other candidates.] - Mr. Hurl (addressing the attorney)—You refused yesterday some totes for me, which ought not to have been objected to. The Attorney—That is fake. Mr. Hunt—Ay, there you go—there is another proof of the effect of the blackguard conduct of yesterday. Every low, dirty dependent upon Lethbridge or Dickinson adopts this insolent lan guage in imitation of their contemptible employers. Sir Tnomas LeTIIIISIDOE—The conduct of this person is most outrageous and disgraceful. The SHZIIII7.-1 am extremely sorry that the busi ness has been interrupted so frequently by altercations of` this kind ; and really, Mr. Hunt, it would be very disirable if you would not persevere. ,Mr. litrwr.—You did not prevent Lethbridge and Dickiwon yesterday, when they were surrounded by their bull-dogs, from using language more provoking than I have ever used. The Snaater—l did all I could to prevent it, but it was impouihk (Here Sir Thomas Lethbridge and Mr. Hunt looked at each other in so ferocious a =antler, that many of the spectators, who were not aware that words may be used before blows are resorted to, expected immediate violence:l Sir THOMAS said to Mr. Hunt—How dare you direct such lan guage to me? Mr. HUNT—To ynu! Ye, ye, (mimicking Sir Thos Lethbridge) to you, and the other slave-driver I For such a thing a% you eipecially, any language is good enough, however gross it may be. It every dirty poll-clerk and every dirty attorney is allowed to say " You lie!" to a candidate who is doing his duty, how prettily this contest may be expected to go on! Your example has led to this. Sir 'l'. LIETHER/DOtit is useless to address the lan guage which is current amongst Gentlemen to such a pers• n. I shall throw myself upon the protection of the Sheriff. The SHERIF?, who certainly acted without the slightest apparent bias towards any of the candisLites, begged most earnestly th.it those interruptions might not be continued. The •oters then left the Court-house for the purpose of going to the several booths, where they have been appointed to examine the voters. The polling then commenced, but went on rather lazily. At five o'cleck the poll-books were closed. The numbers were— Mr.. . Dickinson . 617 Air T. Lethbridge . . 632 Dlr. Heat . . . 141 Before the state of the poll was made known, a most caner. dbsary scene took place in the Costrt-kouse. Mr. fluor drew a letter from his pocket and said, that as Mr. Messiter, the Treasurer of the County, was present, he would read it for the information of the freeholders. Ile could prove that the Treasurer was not qualified to fill the situation he held, and this letter would prove t!►e fact:•-(Loud tumult, and cries of " Read the name ; give us the name first.") • • Mr. Hunt said, they should hear the name after they bad heard the letter read. (The noise of disapprobation and tumult was overpowering.) Mr. Masan* stood upon the table and said, " I beg you will hear out this piti►ul fellow, and I shall answer him presently."— (Laughter, cheers, and hisses.) Some persons who wore the favours of Sir T. Lethbridge cried out," Down with Hunt! Down with the vagabend!".... Mr. Iluur—" There's a cowardly rascal fur you. That fellow would not dare to lift Ms hand to me, and he calls to others to do so. What a dirty coward!" (Great clamour.) All that Messiter can say Is that I lie. Mr. Matorraa—l do say so. I can prove all that you have said Is false—is a lie. Mr. id usr then read the letter, which cont ained some insinuations against Mr. Messiter, and declared, that from a satiety of circumstances, that Gentleman was not fit to be treasurer of the county. The letter was subscribed " J. Kinnear," and the moment it was con cluded, the strongest indignation was expressed by Mr. Messiter's friends, and corresponding applause by Mr. Hunt's.--Seseral of Mr. Messi.er's friends rose the mo ment the letter was concluded, and asked Mr. Hunt for the letter. 14 No, no," said Mr. Hunt, " not let you stn it ; I have no objection to let the Sheriff read the le te r , if he'll promise to return it t , t Inc." The Sheriff—Certainly, I ilia return it to you. Mr. Hunt then banded the ktter to the Sheriff, who gave it to the Under Sheriff to read. The tinder Sheriff began to read the letter in a very slow measure, and several persota tuuk notes as he proceeded. After the letter had been re id a second time, Mr. White (one of Mr. Messiter's friends) demanded a copy of it. The object was, he admitted, that proceedings might he instituted ag.inst the calumniator. Mr. Huai' took back the letter, hut he saw no ncca. sine for giving a copy of it—(jdrirghter, and load dis ap. probation). He then said that Mr. Messiter would mystify the freeholders upon this subject, as he had mystified them upon the accounts. Mr. MCSSITIR said that he had shewn already that all that the contemptible fellow near him had said Wag a tissue of falsehood. Mr. Hews.—Ay, ay, now for the Gentleman—(Laughter). A Gentleman, who stood upon the table, said," Hunt, you ruffian, you know that all you have been saying and reading is false. You know it, Hunt. I'll go over the water with you, where you invited us yesterday." Mr. Huxr.—Bas,baa! baa!—(Roars of laughter). Mr. RIKSSITZR said, it had been admitted that his accounts was as free from error as his ace:lpr was des. titute of feeling and principle—(Cheers and hisses)._ He defied any man to detect an error of one farthing in his accounts, although the conteaiptible fellow had endeavoured to set his levelling foot upon his character --(Cheers ara groans). Voluntary , certificates had been sent to him, and testimonials had been heaped upon him, to the effect that he had performed his duty with t!ie . utmost correctness. Mr. Hutt; shaking bis head—Ay, ay; that will be seen by and by. You and the Magistrates have settled it between yea. Mr. MUSIT2II—AII this concurrence in the c rrrect ness of my conduct, falls with tenfold force upon the had of this villainous fellow—(Loud tumult, and roars of di Mintier ever") I have just heard of tins Kin near; he was found guilty off conspiracy, and con. fined in Ilchester jail, where be became Hunt's pot companion, and they there fabricated charges together which have no foundation. Mr. HUNT desired Mr. Messiter to look to his rag shop, in allusioa to his banking•house, and made some other allusions of a ludicrous nature to the treasurer's occupations. _ _ _ Mr. MESSITZR said, in conclusion, that he despised Mr. Hunt's vengeance, and that ht was not afraid to look in a rogues face. Mr. Hor—No- yes had 9011te experience when you use d to sit with you brother Diek—(Laughter, and groahs and hisses). Mr. Messtraa.—!n fact, it is like fighting with a sweep to contend with Hunt. A man gets blackened all over; and it there is a man in the wort,/ more despicable, he ought to be sent to the dee ii.—(Rodrs of laughter, in which Mr. Hunt and all his party, and the Sheriffs, and in fact every body in Court joined ) Mr. Harr.—Nuw, toy lads, three cheers. The Huntites took the hint, and the moment their favourite l e ft &sant!' followed titre, elwerhig loudly, and crying "Hunt for ever:, The friends of the other candidates then gave three tremendous cheers for Mr. Dickinson and Sir Thomas Lethbridge, the Magistrates, and the &era': ft is but justice to :he Sherif to say, that he has shown, in every stage of this tumultuous contest, great impartiality. There is some electioneering squibbing going on, and it 'Cora some little relief to the "frank and unadorned" lan guage of this liaU. The following has been put into circulation this morning : CONTINIATION lIIITIVUX Tit BLAMING MAIMS Am NU mine DOLL, Alt TYa CLOUDY Till 11111 rt DAY'S rOLL.

CHESTER ELECTION—M.3)ms' (Rim Dar.) The city has been in a most riotous state all the dap principally arising from the circumstance of the defeat anticipated by the Egerton party. Hitherto their con• duct has been quiet and peaceable, :canting general credit on both parties; but to-day it burst out in acts of deter mined violence. About one n'clock General Grosvenor arrived, to give his vote for his cousin, L..r..1 Belgrave. On his approach to the hustings he was in.tintly recognized, and received with loud cheers by the Blue and Yellows, and by hisses, " loud and deep" by the Beth. Whilst be was giving his vote the tints were rapidly germinating ; both of the belligerents mustered a strong furce around the Exchange. In short time shoes and hats were thrown up—stones t hen began to fly in all directions, and at last a general row ensued. At least twenty persons were knocked down in as many second , , and one man, a ship• carpenter, had his nose broken and his right eye nearly knocked out. Nearly all the windows of the Exchange were broken, and a number of individuals were severely injured. The scene of riots at the hustings was so terrific that it was deemed advisable to close the poll—the result of which left Grosvenor three ahead of Egerton. The Election has now virtually closed, although these is no doubt but that the poll will be procrastinated for an hour or two to-morrow. The chairing of Llrd Bet grave and the Hon. R. Grosvenor will take place, I believe, on Wednesday next. Lord Belgrave and General Grosvenor, and the Hon. Mr. Simpson severally addressed the assembled crowd' from the windows of the Royal Hotel. Towards the termination of his Lordship's speech, the procession of the other party approached, and very indecorously per sisted in passing through the Grosvenor party. With ray great courtesy, a space was opened for the &sem boguement of the rabble. They mutually cheered etch other ; but as soon as they passed the Gtosvenors they re turned, and aivanced at the pas de charge. The charge was met and repelled, and the Egertuna were completely routed. Scores of battles then ensued, and black ets were in abundance in a hundred quarters. Several dip 'vete captured cud recaptured—ti.e sus of Oiph2us
