SYMES V. GREEN.-YXTRAORDINARY WILL CASE. This was a suit instituted by the executors of the late Captain William Notts, of the 83d regiment of infantry, for the purpose of proving his will, which was disputed by the defendant, his nephew, on the ground that the instru ment was not duly executed in conformity with the pro visions of the act, and that the testator was not of " sound memory, and understanding," at the time of signing it. Dr. Deane, Q.C., was counsel for the plaintiffs, and Dr. Addams, Q.C., fo'r the defendant. Dr. Deane stated the case. The circumstances connected with the present suit were of a singular character, and not without some features of interest as regarded the testator. It appeared that Captain Notts was born in 1810, and was the son of a solicitor, who was practising in London at that time, His real name was Frederick Green, and in early life he had been apprenticed to a surgeon ; but, not liking the medical profession, or from some misunderstanding with his master, he suddenly departed, and was not heard of by his family for some time, when it was ascertained that he had enlisted, and that he had gone out to Canada with his regiment, having taken the name of William Notts, by which he was known up to the period of his • decease. Mr. Symes, the plaintiff, who was a surgeon, carrying on his profession in London, but who had subsequently removed to Lewes, was acquainted with the father and mother of the deceased, and on the death of the former he married the latter. It ap peared that at the time of his death Mr. Green left three sons, including the deceased, and a daughter, all of whom were dead ; and the only next of kin surviving was the pre sent defendant, who, in the event of the will not being proved, would come into possession of the estate of the deceased. In 1841 Captain Notts returned to this country and visited the plaintiff and his mother, with whom he remained for some time. In consequence of his good conduct, Captain Notts, who was then a private, was presented with a com mission in the 83d regiment, in which he had originally enlisted, and went out to India, the plaintiff having ad vanced him the amount necessary for his outfit. He re mained in India from 1847 till 1857, when he again re turned to this country, and as previously visited the plain tiff, whose wife, deceased's mother, had died, and who was married again. He went to Chatham to obtain instruc tion in musketry practice, and remained there for some months, occasionally visiting the plainliff, with whom he continued to be on the most friendly terms. In July, 1857, there could be no doubt that he was afflicted with mental disease, and for a period he became incapable. While in this state Mr. Symes, who was telegraphed for, went to Chatham to see him, and when he recovered he (deceased) went to his place at Lewes, accompanied by one of the hospital orderlies, who, however, left the following day. He remained at Lewes from the 15th of August to the 29th of the following September, during nearly all which time he lived with the family, and acted in every way like a person perfectly rational. Towards the end of his visit, however, he received the sacrament, which seemed to have a considerable effect on his mind, he expressing his con viction that he had taken it unworthily, and that he had risked his happiness hereafter. He returned to Chat ham, accompanied by Mr. Symes, and when they reached the barracks, the latter mentioned to Dr. M'Lean, the battalion surgeon, that he had been in a very excited state, and delivered him to his care. Sometime subse quently Captain Notts recovered his usual health, and on the 3d of April he drew up a will, in which he set forth that he was in send mental health, and directed the whole of his estate, after the payment of his debts, to be divided equally between the plaintiff and a Miss Lucy Tinsley. That will was duly executed on the Ist of October, and for warded by Captain Notts, with some other papers, to Mr. Symes. On the 3d of September, he wrote two letters, one of which was addressed to Mrs. Symes, thanking her for her kindness to him, and he subscribed the letter, " Your truly affectionate, Frederick." The other was addressed to a lady named Ireland, whose acquaintance he had formed at Mr. Symes's, enclosing her a book ; and both letters were perfectly rational, although he e'spressed his apprehension as to what would happen to him in conse quence of having taken the sacrament on the occasion pre viously alluded to. In these letters there were some mis takes in the spelling, and some of the sentences were not complete, but those inaccuracies arose from defects in his education. In the month of October, Captain Nott's health became so bad that the battalion surgeon required a medical board to inquire whether he was labouring under mental disease. The board, having made the inquiry, found that he was " 47 years of age, had been in the regiment 30 years; that prior to last June his health was good, but subsequently he exhibited great eccentricity both in speech and writing, and on certain, occasions it was found necessary to restrain him from throwing himself out of the window ; that he was not in a sound state of mind, and was incapable of taking care of himself. He was then placed in confinement in Fort Pitt, at Chatham, but was shortly afterwards removed to a lunatic asylum at Henly, in Warwickshire, where he died in September, 1858, With respect to Miss Tinsley, to whom he had left half of his estate, it appeared that he had known her in early life, and it was arranged between them that they should be married as soon as he obtained his commission, but on his return from India his mind changed, and the marriage was broken off. How ever, they continued on good terms, and he wrote her a letter, in which ba expressed a hope that they should be good friends chz.ring their lifetime. The learned counsel concluded 13:7 citing a number of cases bearing on the ques tion, relative to testaments executed during lucid intervals by persons who had been afflicted with insanity. several witnesses were examined on 11',ehalf of the plain tiff, and the case was not concluded wlien. we went to press. Mortimer was arrested there. I found the papers in the desk. I opened the desk with the keys. I did not get them. They were procured by another constable. Mr. Humphries, solicitor, said—l received the bag of papers and letters from the police. I found the letter pro duced amongst them. Mr. Ribton objected to the letter being read. He thought there was not at present sufficient evidence to connect Marshall with Armstrong and Co. Mr. Henry—l will make a note of your objection. (The copy of the above letter to the Duke of Cambridge, and the certificate of Mr. Bridson's baptism, was then read.) Witness continued—After I had seen the letter I pro ceeded to the bank of White and Co., in the Haymarket, on the 9th of July. £4OO had been deposited there in my name. On the day mentioned I gave a gentleman named Moore some directions respecting the money. The day after this I left town, and from the cou _retry I addressed a letter to Armstrong and Co. (The letter was here read. It ias to the effect that Mr. Bridson had not yet received notice to attend for exami nation, and that the remaining am Ingements had been com pleted at White's.) Mr. Bodkin—l will now put in the answer. Mr. Metcalfe objected to the lc tter beindread, unless it could be proved to be in the hand writing of Marshall. Mr. Pugh was called, and said to the best of his belief the letter was in the handwriting of Ma rshall. The letter was then read, in whicl it was stated that the consequence of Mr. Bridson not reo eiving notice was a mis take, and that in consequence of I Ir. Bridson being over the age, extra exertion had to be used, for which an extra twenty guineas would not be objected to, but the whole of the charge was not to exceed £4OO, and that when the busi ness was completed £l5O of that mouv3y was to be paid into the bank to Messrs. Armstrong, and. the remaining £250 to the account of the writer, R. Marsh: all. A number of other letters were tt ten received, written by Marshall, some of which congratulal.ed Mr. Bridson on Mr. Coningham being gazetted, and of hers soliciting the order to prepare Mr. Coningham's outfit. By Mr. Metcalfe—The statement contained in the letter to the Commander-in-Chief was - perfectly true. All I know is that I forwarded the letter to Messrs. Armstrong, and I received an answer from the Horse Guards. I never inquired where the £4OO was to go to. By Mr. Ribton—l have the official letter I received from the Horse Guards. I have not got i t with me. The trans action occupied some weeks ago. J. never saw the Captain Mortimer now in Court during the whole of the time. Mr. Coningham said—l am an ensign in the 13th Light Infantry. I asked my brother-in-law to obtain a commis sion for me. On the sth of July I arrived in London, and on the 7th I put myself under a military tutor. I took my certificates to Armstrong and Co., in Russell- court. Be - fore I went up for examination I called at Armstrong's. It was about the 14th of July. I saw a boy there, to whom I gave my card, and told him to give it to Mr. Armstrong. I saw the boy deliver it to the dellndant Mortimer. He said, " Oh, Mr. Coninghant, will you walk in." I went in and the boy closed the door after me. I told Mr. Mortimer I had. 'brought him the testimonials, which I had been instructed to do. Mortimer took them, and said he would send them in. He asked me if I was reading very hoed. I said I was, and then he asked me if I was going into the examination (the one that was coming), and I said I was. Nothing was said about gazetting. I left, but before. I did so he asked me to drop in occasionally, and I promifted to do so. I then went on with my studies. Not hearing from the Horse Guards, I addressed a letter for Sir Charles Yorke on the 13th of July. I received an answer on the 15th. I was under examination on the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 19th. On the 15th, the first day of the examination, I called in Russell-court. I saw Mortimer. He asked me how the examination was going on, and I said I thought I had written a good paper that morning. I asked if he had any idea when I should be gazetted, and he said, " Oh, I should think in about two months after you have passed." I was gazetted on the 24th of September as ensign, 13th Light Infantry, Ist battalion. I afterwards came to London and remained sometime with Mr. Fother gill, the military tutor. I afterwards called at Russell court. I there saw three gentlemen—Mortimer was one— a person of the name of Eicke, and another Steinbach. With respect to Eicke, Mortimer introduced me to him ; ho said, " Here is Mr. Armstrong." When Eicke was introduced he said, " I see you've been gazetted to the 13th." I did not remain longer than a minute. I employed Mr. Marshall to prepare my outfit. I called a number of times about the end of October, I heard some thing about Mr, Pugh writing to the Drle of Cambridge. I asked Marshall why Pugh had th , ..eatened to lay the business before the Commander -in-rJhief, and explaining the whole affair. He said Armstrong and Co. had had their share (£200), and that they 'had handed Pugh's and his share over to him .(Mir:shall) ; but Pugh owed him some money, and that he had stopped what he owed him out of it. Down to that time I knew nothing about any irregularity. I knew there must be a screw loose by Pugh threatening . t!: lay the whole business before the I Commander-in-Chief. By Mr. Metcalfe—T_ previously wrote to the Horse Guards for an appointment, but I had received a letter stating that I was over age. I 'had asked Mr. Bridson to procure a commission previous to that (about Christmas), and he pro mised to do so. I now know that army tailors procure com missions for the army. I did not when I first came to Lon don. I never saw Stirnbach until after I had been gazetted By Mr. Ribton—l don't know that Mortimer had ever been in the army. I know there are offices in existence not recognised by the Horse Guards, which effect exchanges in the army. By Mr. Henry—l was gazetted without purchase. I never asked how that was, after £4OO had been paid. Mr. Bodkin—What you know was told you by Marshall himself ? W;Aness—Yes. ildr. Gregory, from White & Co., bankers, Haymarket, said—The account of Armstrong and Co. was kept in the name of Henry Eicke, as of No. 8, Ponsonby-street, Bel gravia. The account was opened on the 23d May, 1857. There was a deposit of £4OO on the 3d July by Mr. Bryd• son to be paid over on Mr. Conningham's name appearing in the Gazette to an ensigncy. The £4OO was trans ferred to Eicke's account on the 27th September, and on the same day a cheque of Eicke's was paid to Mar shall for £2OO, and one to Captain Mortimer for £5O. I wish it to be clearly understood that our firm have nothing whatever to do with the defendants, beyond receiving de posits of money in the ordinary way as bankers. The cashier at Messrs. White's said. the cheque drawn in favour of Marshall was paid on 23d September in two £lOO notes. Mr. Ribton contended that the account of Eicke was a private one, and in no way connected with Armstrong and Co. Mr Gregorysaid when Eicke opened his account in 1857, he said he was trading under the name of Armstrong and Co., but the cheques would be signed by himself. Mr. Ribton—As no one else could draw upon that ac count, I therefore contend that Mr. Mortimer is in no way connected with it. Mr. Joseph Eaton, cashier to Messrs. Hopkinson, said— I cashed a cheque for £5, drawn by Marshall in November last, to a person named Pugh. Mr. Bodkin—l shall not proceed further with the case to-day. Mr. Metcalfe—l wish it to be distinctly understood that my client, Mr. Marshall, is prepared to show that the only interest he had in the transaction was the hope of getting the outfit of Mr. Conningham. Mr. Henry—At the proper time you will have ample op portunity of making any statement you may think proper. Mr. Metcalfe—l wish to make a statement — Mr. Bodkin—l have no objection to the public knowing that Mr. Marshall denies the charge. Mr. Metcalf—l wish the public to withhold their judg ment as the case has been opened with a gloss. Mr. Ribton—Everything Mr. Bodkin does is done with a gloss. Mr. Bodkin—l am quite indifferent to what you may say. The further hearing of the case was then adjourned till Monday next at eleven o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,-(THIS DAY.: TiOW-STREET. UNLAWFULLY BELLING COMMISSIONS IN THE ARMY. Edward Mortimer, described as of 2, Russell-court, St. James's, and Thomas Robert Marshall, military of 32, Jermyn-street, St. James's, were again in attendance, charged with " unlawfully conspiring to bargain for the sale of a certain commission in the army." Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecution on behalf of tha War-office ; Mr. Ribton attended for Mvtimer ; and Mr. Metcalfe for the other defendant, Marshall. It will be recollected that the defendants were first charged with the offence on Wednesday week, when, after the evidence of a witness named Pugh had been received, the case was adjourned until this morning, in order that Mr. Coningham and Mr. Bridson, the former the person for whom the commission in the 13th Light Infantry was to be procured, and the latter gentleman, who had been in communication with Armstrong and Co., might be in attendance. Mr. Henry Bridson said—l am a merchant, residing near Bolton-le-Moors. I have a brother-in-law named Con• ingham. He is now an ensign in the 13th Light Infantry, stationed at Fermoy, in Ireland. I was desirous, in April and May lust year, to tobtain a commission for him, and, amongst other persons applied to, I had a conversation with a, person named Pugh. I afterwards had communications with him both verbally and in writing. After that, on the 28th of May, I received a letter from the defendant Mar shall, now produced. I afterwards saw Mr. Marshall on the subject of the communication. The letter was hero read by Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, and was to the effect that Mr. Coningham would be gazetted as a lieutenant on the lodgment of £4OO. The letter was also accompanied by the following, which was directed to be re-written and sent back : To his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief. Believing that your Royal Highness recognises the services of officers, I venture to solicit a favour on behalf of a young relative of mine, Mr. Cunningham, whose father, grandfather, and two brothers have held commissions, that his name be placed on the list of candi dates for commissions without purchase. I should hesitate to ask so great a favour, were there not strong claims in existence to justify it. His father commanded the 24th Madras Native Infantry, and died in the service ; his grand father and great -grandfather also died in the service. In hope that you will extend your gracious patronage to my young relative, who will not prove unworthy of it, I beg to subscribe myself. On the 14th of June I forwarded a copy of the draft letter to his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, to the defendant, Marshall, and on the 30th of June, I believe, I again wrote to him on the subject. From this period I was in communication with Marshall and Pugh. On the sth of July I arrived in town. I stayed in Cork-street. On the Fth I called on Mr. Marshall, Jermyn-street. I had never seen Mr. Marshall before. Marshall said he was glad to see me in town. I told him the business that I came about was Mr. Coningham's commission. He said if I would wait a few minutes he would send down to the office of Messrs. Armstrong and Company for one of the gentle - men to come up and see me. I waited for about three-quarters of an hour, at the end of which time, not being able to remain any longer, I returned to my resi dence. Mr. Henry—Did ho say where his office was ? Witness—l can't remember. By Mr. Bodkin—l believe I heard the name of Captain Mortimer mentioned. hen I left Marshall I returned to my residence in Cork-street, and there I found a card had been left. I have not the card now in my possession. Shortly afterwards a person came to me. I don't know now the person who called. It is not the Captain Morti mer now in court. I believe it must have been the defen dant Eicke. He said his name was Armstrong. He pro duced the letter to the Duke of Cambridge. Some slight alteration was made, and he then requested I would re write it. I did so, and afterwards sent it to Armstrong and Co. I sent it on the 19th of July, by the porter of the hotel at which I was staying. I also enclosed the certifi cate of Mr. Bridson. Mr. Metcalf and. Mr. Itibton objected to the letters being read, unless it could be more clearly shown that the defen dants were connected with them. Mr. Bodkin—Very well, call the constable. Sergeant Williamson, of the detective force, said—l found a bag, containing letters and papers belonging to the defendants, at Woburn-chambers, the offices of Armstrong and Co. I handed them over to Mr. Humphries, the solicitor. By Mr. Ribton—l had no search warrant. There were a great many names on the door of the chambers. Capt. DIARLBOROUGH• STREET. ----- MURDEROUS ASSAULT BYI A BROTHER. — Henry Hum borr:;, a German shoemaker, residing at Whitechapel, was charged with the following serious assault on his brother, whose head was enveloped in bandages : Charles Humborg, of 15, Marshall-street, Golden-square, upholsterer, said the prisoner was his brother. A sister, who resides with the prisoner, having complained to him (prosecutor) of his brother's conduct, he wrote to him ask ing him to come and see him, and in consequence of which he did come on the previous night. Hearing a knock at the door he went to it, and on opening it found it was his brother, and said to hint " Here you are," and then said " How can you ill-treat our sister so ?" He made no answer, but with a piece of iron, the half of a poker, pointed, struck him a tremendous blow with all his force on the fore head, causing a large wound and great loss of blood. He had been heard by a neighbour to say that he had come from Whitechapel to kill him. He tried to escape, but was pur sued and capturCd• His (prosecutor's) wife previous to his making off had wrested the iron from him. He had been attended by a surgeon. _ _ The prisoner said he did not take the iron with him. Hs took it out of his brother's wife's hand. Prosecutor denied this. He had witnesses to prove that it had been seen at his house in Whitechapel. Heinrich Kenester, of s,:Market-street,iNewport-market, proved seeing the prisoner talking to his brother, with his hand behind his back, and suddenly saw him raise it, and with the piece of iron strike him on the head. Mr. Beadon said he should require the surgeon who was called in, and the witness who had heard him threaten to kill his brother, as it was a very serious case. Remanded. THAMES. CHARGE OP SMUGGLING.--John Fowler, aged 32, the steward of the steam-ship East Indian, was brought before Mr Yardley, charged with smuggling 91 lbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco which had not paid duty. _ _ It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Rees, a tide sur veyor, that he went on board the East Indian in the river yesterday, and found 91 lbs, of foreign manufactured to- bacco in the bread-room, and upon asking the defendant who it belonged to he at once admitted it was his own pro perty, and that he had placed it there. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he put the tobacco out of the way, and intended to take it to sea again for the consumption of the crew and passengers. He had no intention to take it on shore. - Mr. Yardley said that the defendant had clearly violated the law, and ought to have reported the tobacco to the Cus - toms. He tined the defendant £6, which was instantly paid. YORK RACES.-(THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) ZETLAND STAKES. Lady Falconer Rattlebone Ten ran. LATEST BETTING.

A note states that in the foregoing account the pounds weight of hops charged with duty in a parish do not necessarily represent the produce of the acres of land under hop cultivation in such parish, it being not unfre quent.ly tho practice of planters to remove hops fr•m the parish where they grow to another, for the purpose of " curing and bagging." The quan tity of British hops exported from the United Kingdom to foreign countries, from Ist January to 30th June, 1858, was 646,003 lbs. As many as 13,000 cwt. of foreign hops were imported from foseign countries from Ist January to 31st Decem ber, 1858. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

THE P. MAILS. The screw steamer, Alhambra (belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company), Captain 'Wil liam Woodgates, arrived at Southampton yesterday at noon, with mails, in charge of Lieutenant Cash man, R.N., Admiralty agent, of the following dates :—Lisbon, April 7 ; Oporto and Nigo, 8. On the outward voyage the Alhambra experienced a very strong gale from the westward, with a terrific heavy sea across the Bay ; down the coast of Spain and Portugal, fine weather. Homewards the weather was fine up the coast, but a heavy sea was rolling in over the bar of Oporto, and the steamer was consequently detained upwards of four hours for the boat coming off at that port ; from Cape Finisterre and up Channel a series of westerly gales. The Alhambra brought ten first class passengers, three second class, and 13 shipwrecked mariners , belonging to the British barque Venerable, which foundered near Viana. She was laden with coals and iron, from Shields, bound to Barcelona. On freight the Alhambra had £3,000 in specie, 700 chests of oranges, 203 boxes of new potatoes, 154 boxes of eggs, and 13 packages of general mer chandise. On the 7th the Alhambra passed the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ceylon, with the outward India mail of the 4th, about 15 miles to the northward of the Burlings ; she also passed the French screw steamer Ville de Malaga, coming out of Vigo, bound south ; and crossing the Bay of Biscay she passed several ships homeward bound. The Luna screw steamer was lying at Oporto, and intended sailing for London on the 9th. The Brazilian man-of-war Bahiana had arrived at Lisbon from Rio. The Bartholomew Diaz and Tagus were to leave Lisbon for Southampton on the 10th, for the pur pose of conveying Prince George of Saxony to Portugal. The Bremen brig Antonietti, from Newcastle, bound to Rio de Janeiro, had put into Lisbon leaky, the crew having signed a protest to the effect that the ship was unseaworthy. She was condemned by Lloyd's agent at Lisbon, and Capt. Dieckman, the master, has come to England by the Alhambra. _ . Shortly after sunset on Sunday, the 3d instant., considerable excitement and alarm were created at Lisbon in consequence of the violent ringing of fireballs belonging to the different ships at anchor in the Tagus, and a report being raised that a large steamer was on fire. The burning ship proved to be the Baron de Caters, Captain James Carter, from Madeira. Captain Woodgates, of the Alhambra steamer, which was fortunately anchored near, immediately despatched three boats, with his officers and crew, to their assistance, with J. Tylor and Sons' invaluable portable pump, which was worked from the boat alongside with great effect. At one time it was feared the ship would not be saved, but by the indefatigable exertions of Capt. Carter and the Alhambra's crew the conflagration was extinguished after four hours' hard pumping, but not before several hundred pounds' worth of stores, sails, &c., had been consumed, or more or less damaged. The fire would seem to have origi• nated in the forehold, but the cause was unknown. The ship is insured at Lloyd's. On the following morning Captain Carter went on board the Alham bra, and in warm terms publicly thanked Captain Woodgates, his officers and crew, for their timely and valuable aid. The Alhambra left Lisbon on the 7th instant, when the Cortes were still discussing the Lisbon and Oporto Railway contract, and not likely to come to a decision for some days. The new postal convection between England and Portugal has been signed, reducing the postage of a single letter to Bd., half paid in England and half in Portugal, instead of ls. 9d., hitherto paid on both sides. The want of rain continued in Portugal, to the great injury of the harvest prospects for all kinds of grain. The heat had for several days been equal to that usual in June. London bills were scarce upon the Lisbon Ex change, and ruled at 531 for three months ; Paris, 532 ; Amsterdam, 421 ; Hamburg, 471 ; and Genoa, 528.

Bank of Portugal shares, 7 to 8 per cent. pre mium ; Bank of Oporto shares, 28 to 26 do. SARDINIA. The following despatch has been addressed by Count Cavour to the Marquis d'Azeglio, the Sar dinian Minister in London : " TURIN, MARCH 21. " Monsieur le Marquis,—The Government of Russia has just made a formal proposition to sub mit the Italian question to a Congress of the Great Powers. " I hasten, M. le Marquis to make known to you the views of the Government of the King in this respect. " Sardinia has no objection to make against the . meeting of a Congress, which taking into con sideration the interests and the just complaints of the Peninsula, would take upon itself to give a pacific and satisfactory solution of the difficulties which deservedly attract the serious attention of Europe. But the Cabinet of Turin believes at the same time that Piedmont ought to be represented at this Congress, and it is persuaded that its inter vention would be useful, not to say indispensible, if the Powers which show a proved sympathy for Italy, and those which desire to obviate the danger of the abnormal state of the Peninsula, think they can render prevalent a system more conformable to justice by obtaining concessions and guarantees of a nature to calm the public mind. " Sardinia enjoys the confidence of the unhappy populations whose fate is about to be decided ; she has already raised her voice in their favour at the Congress of Paris, and that voice was not only , listened to by the most enlightened Governments of Europe, but it has succeeded in calming vexations and angers ready to burst forth ; it has disarmed revolution, substituting for it the regular and legal action of diplomacy. " Sardinia, in taking the lead of the national movement, has always exercised the influence it had acquired to combat openly revolutionary passions ; instead of exciting the minds of men soured by suffering and deceptions, it endeavoured to keep them within bounds, and to lead them to a more healthy appreciation of the events and obstacles which delayed the fulfilment of their legitimate desires. We may openly declare it : If Italy has not been the theatre of new troubles lately, if we have not to deplore insane popular movements, followed by sanguinary reaction, it is to the salutary action and prudent attitude of Piedmont that it must in a great measure be attributed. " As regards the questions which ought to form the object of the deliberations of the Congress, the Cabinet of London is cognizant of the view taken of them by the Government of the King. In the memorandum of the Ist of March it has frankly explained its views, it has pointed out the griev ances of the Peninsula, it has indicated the repara tions they require. That explanation has been communicated to the Court of London, and it met with a favourable reception. Lord Malmesbury has admitted the moderation of Sardinia, and has rendered homage to her good faith. Thus, whether by its general conduct s ince the affairs of Italy have taken the first place in the cares of Europe—whether by its declarations clearly formulated as regards the points which now appear to render an immediate solution necessary, the British Government ought to be convinced that the Court of Sardinia will lend a sincere support to all measures which the high united Powers in Congr ess ma y propose in the interest of Italy. " I like to flatter myself, therefore, that the Cabinet of London will, without difficulty, admit t in h e oie propriety Congress proposed Sardinia b.y t h u o s u s l i d ra .v b a e represented de " With this object in view, I beg o t. f M. Marquis, Malmesbury, copy oof this tom submitdeea despatch the het aboveh m a ma observations leaving with him " C. CAVOUR:' lI?ELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING. Th e report mentioned in the Freeman's Journal of Saturday of the resignation of Mr. James Robin son, Law Adviser of the Castle, is true, and Mr. Vance, brother to the member of the city of Dublin , is appointed to the post thus vacated. The Law Advisership is an office generally coveted by aspi rants for place, as it almost invariably leads to higher promotion, and is, besides, not to be lightly regarded in a pecuniary sense; the fees and emolu ments for the last twelve months fell little short of £3,000. The selection of Mr. Vance is said to be a most judicious one, as, although his name is not mnch before the public, he is known to be a thoroughly sound and painstaking advocate. THE IRISH COURT.
