It has also granted rewards amounting to £572 for saving 562 ,hipwrecked persons, by shore-boats and other means, mak ing a total of 1,302 persons saved from a watery grave during the last two years and a half. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,690; for which services 82 Gold Medals, 713 Silver Medals, and £16,000 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £64,300 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting-cart iages, and Boat-houses. The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts now being made by this Institution to save the lives of Ship wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions h e Society has made within the past few years, it has now One Hundred and Twenty-three Life-boats under its man agement, tor the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

The Amphion has brought home one Marine from her Majesty's ship Shannon to undergo two years' imprisonment by sentence of court-martial, and 35 military invalids, consisting of one private Royal Artillery, six privates Royal Engineers, one private 2d battalion 15th Regiment, one sergeant nine privates Ist battalion 22d Regi ment, one private 2d battalion 22d Regiment, one sergeant, one private, 2d battalion 23d Regiment, and 2 sergeants 12 privates Ist battalion 25th Re giment. The Amphion has experienced heavy weather all way from the Rock of Gibraltar, and foul winds, which have compelled her to lie at Port land for the last three days. She landed her inva lids in the Pigmy The ship steam-tender yesterday afternoon. is expected to go round to the eastward to be dismantled and paid out of commission. The Neptune, 90, screw line -of-battle ship, Capt. G. T. P. Hornby, arrived at Spithead from the Me diterranean yesterday m orn i ng. She left Malta on the 6th November, and Gibraltar on the 15th No vember. The Neptune awaits orders at Spithead. Considerable progress has been made in the work of plating the Royal Oak, at Chatham, the whole of the available shipwrights and mechanics not re quired on the iron frigate Achilles, 50, now work ing upon her. The last tier of armour plates, which will entirely encase her from stem to stern—render ing her, in fact, a complete mass of floating iron— was affixed to her sides yesterday, and mechanics have commenced bolting the armour plates to her stern. Several of the plates have already been fixed to her " counter." In order to facilitate the difficult operation of hanging and securing the shield plates to the vessel's sides several portable steam cranes are employed on each side of the slip, and tramways ' have been laid down the entire length of the dock, Ito enable the engines to be removed to any part of the frigate. Six tiers of armour plates are now laid on each side of the Royal Oak, the armour extend ing for several feet below her load water line to her bulwarks, thus rendering it impossible for any missile at present known to strike the ship below the water line. The slabs of iron already fixed are of an uniform thickness of 4 inches, but the remaining plates encasing her stem and stern, where the chances of shot striking her are not so probable, will gradually diminish to three inches, excepting under the but tock, where they will bo again reduced to two inches. The Royal Oak is intended to be furnished with engines of 1,000 horse power, and a considerable portion of her machinery is already on board. The immense mass to be propelled through the water, together with the great draught of water, will not, it is anticipated, admit of anything at all approach ing a high rate of speed being attained; so that the Royal Oak and the other vessels of her class now building will be, in effect, useless as steam rams, any vessel of ordinary steaming qualities being able to avoid them by superior sailing. The Admiralty have therefore abandoned the original intention of constructing the bows of these vessels so as to en able them to be used in running down and sinking a hostile ship, and have preferred sacrificing the advantages which such a vessel would thereby pos sess to those of complete protection from shot. Ac cordingly the Royal Oak and the various other ar mour plated frigates have been constructed without any protection at the bows. They have instead of this what is termed a tumble-home stem. Should the trials with the improved steering apparatus in vented by Mr. Lumley, which the Admiralty have directed to be fitted in the Columbine, 4, and some other vessels, be at all satisfactory, the invention will be applied to the Royal Oak. By this means she will be rendered far more effective. After de livering her broadside into the enemy's ship she may be turned in little more than her own diame ter, and in the space of about a minute another broadside poured into the same vessel. The Pylades, 21, 350 horse power, Capt. A. IV. A. Hood, fitting at Chatham for service in the West Indies, left her moorings at the dockyard yesterday and went down the river to receive the remainder of her sea stores, coals, and powder, after which she will proceed to Portsmouth to receive her final orders. Her Royal Marines and Marine Artillery joined yesterday, as well as a number of her crew, who have been sent from the various re ceiving ships at the various ports. The following appointments have been made to the Pylades up to yesterday, most of the officers having joined and taken up their commissions :—Lieutenants S. Smith and R. H. Swindon, Master R, J. C. Grant, Chief Engineer W. M. Chambers, Acting Assist.-Engineer J. Horrocks, First-class Assist.- Engineers It. Winter and A. Purvis, Second-class Assist.-Engineers J. A. Shawyer and J. Stout, Pay master J. Pooley, Assist.-Paymaster F. T. Fitz maurice, Surg. 0. L. Lewellyn, Clerk E. 1). Green. An order has been received, at Chatham, an nouncing that tho following vessels have been chartered by the Government for the conveyance of troops and military stores to India and the co lonies—viz., the General Caulfield, for Madras; the Punjab, for Kurrachee ; the Hammersmith, for Bombay; and the Water Lily, for Algoa Bay. On the 28th ult. we drew attention to a regula tion just issued from the Department of the Controller of the Navy directing that the linvaston disengaging hooks were to be in future fitted to the stern and quarter boats of all ships brought for ward for the first-class steam reserve and for com mission, and which order virtually excluded from from the service Clifford's boat-lowering apparatus, by which so many lives have been saved at sea both in the Royal and mercantile navies. In conse quence, the subject was brought prominently before the Lords of the Admiralty, an d their lordships have written to Mr. Clifford, officially to infor m him that the captain of any of her arajcsty's ships on applying for his boat-lowering gear is to be supplied with it as heretofore. It is to be hoped that this decision of their lordships will not be rendered nugatory by contrary orders issued from the office of any subordinate department. i l~ C PE it NEWSpA rvtr..-\o7l‘ (11.:44" cz•Z-ict-1 k aft "A'rif,t r ASSIZE IN7ELLIGP,NaI. j s IRD CIRCUIT.---STAFTOPD, DLO. 5.

On the 18th of August, having been told of to duty shout nine o'clock, he, going to. wards a public-house, at Colbridge, called the Black Boy, met with a fellow police-officer, with asholn he drank. In company with another mln they then proceeded to a public-house about a quarter of a mile distant, called the Village Tavern, where they drank together. In the same house were the three prisoners, Tho fellow police officer Wells left about half-past 12, and soon after deceased with the other man also left, followed in a few minutes by the three prisoners. Crump and his companion proceeded together towards the Black Boy for a short dis tance, when the former was left to go on by him self. On the departure of his customers the land lord of the Village Tavern fell asleep, and waking in about half an hour went outside to close the shutters. When about to do this he heard groans, and looking down he observed, crouched in the gutter of a m a a n n . d h A o p l d p i r ng oa e t h h i e n g b a the h k e e fi f g h u i r s e head, h ethef ound it figure to be the policeman Crump, bleeding profusely from wounds in the head. With the landlord's aid he was then conveyed into the house and properly tended. On searching the vicinity the staff of the wounded man was found near the spot in which he had been taken up. Two or three yards distant his cap, cut through the peak and clotted with blood and hair, was also found ; and still further on in the road was Seen a pool of blood. Deceased was afterwards re moved, and, on being examined by two surgeons, was found to have sustained a vertical wound on the left eyebrow, and a fracture on the back of the skull, through an aperture of which the brains after protruded. Respectin g the possible cause of these wounds the two surgeons called differed ; one think ing that they must have been caused by a fall upon a rough iron kerbstone, such as that near which the deceased was lying ; and the other, that nothing. save a heavy blow from a similar weapon to a staff could have produced the fracture at the back of the head. Of these injuries Crump expired in a few days, identifying, however, before his ' death the three prisoners as his assailants. About the time of the occurrence a woman living in the neighbourhod was awoke by a noise of wrangling, and, opening the window, saw a num ber of people in the road, and heard an altercation as though between a police-officer and a man, who, in a stern voice, was refusing to move away. Pre sently a scuffle was hoard, and then the thud of blows as though inflicted with a staff or stick. Upon that a scampering of feet was heard, and then a groan ; after which all was quiet. A circumstance by which it was thought that a motive for the com mission of the offence could be imputed to Hughes in particular consisted in the fact that a short time previously he had been heard to utter a threat against deceased. When the prisoners were arrested they made three several statements, which did not always correspond with each other. By Wardle's statement it would appear that he and his compa nions, while walking together outside the public house, were ordered to move away by Grump. Simp son refused, and a scuffle ensued, during which the policeman used hie staff, and was thrown to the ground by his antagonist, the other meanwhile standing aloof and presently going away. During the hearing of the evidence in support of the fore. going, it was admitted by one of the witnesses that deceased on one occasion made an oral statement, in which he said he and another man with dark whis kers had a struggle, during which he (Crump) struck and marked him with his staff. Simpson does not possess whiskers, and when examined a week after the affray was not found to have sustained any in jury or bruise. A severe and lengthened cross-exa mination was undergone by the same witness re specting the authenticity both of the dying state ments of the deceased and also of the statements of the prisoners. It was also shown that while Simp son and Wardle were confined in adjacent cells at the police station a conversation was overheard be tween them, in which Wardle exhorted his compa nion " to keep his mouth shut and trust to Provi , deuce.' A mess cf evidence having been given, Mr. Motteram addressed the jury on behalf of Simpson, and in a long and able address contended inasmuch as no proof h a d b een g i ven that p was in the execution o f h is d uty, the crime ec th mori a un t, m ittod could only amount to manslaughter, and that both from the discrepancy of the statements of the deceased and also from other evidence given, the identity of his client had not been proved. Mr. M'Mahon then addressed the jury for llughes, and contended that only one individual was respon sible for the death of Crump, and that individual was not his client. The jury having been addressed by Mr. Ronealey on behalf of Wardle, His Lordship summed up, and The Jury returned a verdict of Acquittal. The trial lasted nearly 12 hours. HORRIBLE MURDER A 7 BIRMINGHAM. Late on Thursday night a murder, accompanied with circumstances of unusual atrocity, was com mitted in Bissell-street, Birmingham. The victim is a girl named Alice Insley, aged 17, who lived with her parents in a court in Bissell-street, and was employed in a jewellery warehouse in Lower Essex-street, and the murderer is Henry Carter, alias Nobby Hall (not the fighting man who bears that cognomen), aged 20, a brass founder, living in Skinner-lane_ For some nine months back he ha s been keeping company with the deceased, who wa s a very good-looking girl, and who did not look upon him with so much favour as he wished. Ott Thurs day afternoon she went to the funeral of a relative, and when she returned home she was accompanied by Carter, who spent the evening with her at the house of her parents. During the evening all seemed to go on comfortably enough, and when Carter rose to leave the house, at about 11 o'clock, the girl went with him across the yard of the court, and to the end of the entry leading into the street. Here they talked together for some time, and a neigh bour woman, who was standing outside the entry, heard Carter say to deceased, " Do you mean it, Alice ?" and heard her reply " I do." A moment later she heard a pistol shot, and Carter then rushed past her into the street. She then went up the entry, and at that end of it nearest the court-yard she found deceased lying on the ground quite dead. The people who live in the court assisted in carry ing the body of the poor girl into her father's house, and it was then found that she was shot through the back, apparently with a pistol bul let.ehr before foof r i en him. questone e Ao o'clock, o l of thato the h, h hu m ot u u ro r ,o d uw e l r dh e re When o u at n t l m il re ,e a er Information was at once g i ven to the police, c qw r u o ha w or anythin g t d ewr had collected on the murder was committed,Carter walkedsp o t up w h h u e r r r e ie d t l h y e , and was going u p th e entry W and Po lice -constable APCausland ar " " That's him," when some one cried, rested him. At the moment he was apprehended prisoner was sayi ng, and tried t o break away from here fro is s t s h h e e , oI ffim c u e s : t s a e n e d h e g r et into the house where the body was lying, but made no resistance to the apprehension. When he was searched there was found in his pocket a double barrelled rifled pistol, with one barrel loaded and the other having evidently been only recently dis charged. In his pocket there was also found a number of percussion caps and some powder. When charged with having murdered the girl he admitted that it was him who had fired the pistol. It has since been ascertained that on Thursday afternoon the prisoner bought threepenny worth of bullets in Worcester -street, and that among them were two Minie balls, which just fitted the pistol, and one of which was in that barrel of the pistol which had not been discharged, while the other is missing. When he bought the bullets he showed the shop keeper the pist o l, an d sa id he had b oug ht it th a t day.

CARDIFF, Dee. 4.—The iron trade has been rather quiet within the last fortnight. Prices show a tendency to de cline, and rails are quoted fully 2s 6d per ton less than was the case a month since. Merchant bars are in moderate re quest, and list rates are only obtained in a few instances. In consequence of the favourable weather which prevailed at the commencement of the week, the collieries are better employed, and large shipments of coal are taking place. The following aro the average quotations, free on board Steam coal, 7s to 7s 9d ; house, 7s 6d to 8s 6d. The tin trade continues in an unsatisfactory state• THE IVAV.I'. The trial of the fine frigate Sold commanded by ture Briti s h nava l Commander in-Chief K pt in A g l e . o C m o e n , n t o h l e ly fu , and flagship o f R ear -Ad m i ra l in-Chief in the Pacific, took place at Portsmouth yesterday, and was attended with the most satisfac tory results to all concerned—to the Admiralty as the designers and contractors of her hull, to Messrs. Maudslay and Co. as the builders of her engines,and to Admiral Kingcome and the officers who have the honour of serving under his command on board a vessel which is universally acknowledged by naval men to be the most perfect existing specimen of a converted frigate, and one possessing lines of beauty in the contour of her general outline of hull such as cannot be claimed for our late iron innovations of the Warrior or Defence class by their warmest par tisans. The ship was under way at Spithead by 8.30 a.m., by which time Capt. Henry Broadhead, com manding H.M.S. Asia, and the steam reserve at Portsmouth, who had the general management of the trial, accompanied by his staff—Mr. George Murdoch, Inspectory of Machinery Afloat, and Mr. Ward, Assist.-Engineer of her Majesty's Dockyard, had arrived on board. The ship first steamed as far as St. Helen's Roads, when her course was altered for the measured mile in Stokes Bay, on reaching which the required rune were made at full and half boiler power, and circles made in the ordinary man ner, under full steam, as follows, the screw in use ,being a Griffiths with a diameter of 17ft. 6in. and a pitch of 20ft. At full boiler power : No. of Time. Speed of Revolutions of Run. m. s. Ship. Engines. 1 4 45 12.631 68 2 5 32 10.843 69 3 4 32 13.235 71 4 5 55 10.140 70 5 4 26 13.533 70 6 6 13 9.651 70 The ship's mean speed in the six runs was 11.806 knots. Two runs followed at half-boiler power, the first giving the ship a speed of 10.876 knots with the tide, and the second, against the tide, and in the face of nearly half a gale, slightly on the starboard bow, of 6.101 knots; the mean of the two being a speed of 8.488 knots. Getting the steam up again to its full pressure, the ship was next tested in making complete circles to port and star board, and in moving the engines to signal from the deck bridge. The helm was first put to starboard, with 27 i turns of the wheel, bringing the rudder to an angle of 19 deg. when the half circle was made in 3 min. 60 sec., and the full circle in 7 min. 42 sec. With the helm to starboard, and 21 turns of the wheel, bringing the rudder to an angle of 221 deg., the half circle was made in 3 min. 42 sec., and the full circle in 7 min. 1 sec. Eleven men were stationed at the wheel. The Sutlej in this experiment, like other of our men-of-war, illustrates in the most forcible manner the defective mechanical arrangement of the present system of fixing the ship's sternpost, the screw, and the rudder all in a line with each other, and thus acting in direct oppo position in lieu of in unison when the vessel's course requires any deviation of import from a straight line. The evils attending this system, and the immense advantages which would be derived by adopting the double screw system in our ships of war, was most strikingly and convincingly shown in the re cent trial of the Flora, double screw ship, on the Thames, in the presence of Mr. J. Dinnen, the Ad miralty Inspector of Machinery Afloat, Commanders Symonds and Selwyn, R.N., and many other offi cials. At the conclusion of the circle trials the ma chinery of the ship was tested in its movement in answer to the signal given from the ordinary rod and bevilled wheel telegraph of the upper deck bridge. From the time of moving the telegraph handle on the bridge the engines were brought to a state of rest from full speed in 19 sec. They were nest turned agtern nud full zpaod attaincd in 0 ecc.; I I and from full speed astern to full speed ahead only 24 sec. elapsed. The working of the engines and boilers was all that could be desired on every point. They were in charge, during the trial, of Mr. War rener, the representative of the makers. These last experiments concluded the day's proceedings, when the ship again let go her anchor at Spithead. She expects to sail for Plymouth saund and the Pacific this afternoon or early to-morrow morning according to advices to be received from the Admi ral. The weather was not the most desirable for developing the best steaming powers of the ship, as the wind, which was at a force of from 3 to 4 from south at the commencement of the runs at the mile, gradually increased until, as the full-powered trials drew to a close, it blew nearly half a gale with the wind slightly backing to the eastward This, of course, had a very prejudicial effect upon the ship's speed, and especially in the two runs at half-boiler power. Although the Sutlej really re quires no excuse, attaining such a rate of speed as she did, yet another exists of which mention must be made. As a " converted " frigate she necessarily swims deep in the water for her tonnage--3,066, but in addition to her own crew, stores, and arma ment, she has on board a large number of super numeraries, a quantity of surplus stores, and an Armstrong 110-pounder with 18 tons of ammunition for her Majesty's ship Tartar. The Sutlej carries as her armament, on her upper deck, eight 40- pounder Armstrongs, one 110-pounder Armstrong as a pivot forecastle gun, a 20 and a 12-pounder Armstrong fieldpiece, and the usual number of boat guns, On the maindeck she mounts 24 68-pounders of 65cwt. each, and four 110-pounder Armstrongs, the latter having a central position in the battery One of the most important parts of the ship's equip. ments is her distillery apparatus, on Dr. Normanby's patented system, and which yesterday supplied di rect from its supply-pipe, from the commencement to the conclusion of the trial, water distilled from the salt water which was cool, agreeable, and pure. The Sutlej was originally laid down from drawings fur nished from the office of the late Sir W. Symonds, when Surveyor of the Navy, but Sir Baldwin W. Walker succeeding to the survivorship before any great progress had been made in laying the ship down, an alteration was made in her floor tim bers, giving her a lower midship floor than she would have had if built according to the original design, and such as is now possessed by,the Octavia and several other frigates also designed by Sir William. On the Admiralty determining to convert her to a screw frigate she was cut in two parts at Portsmouth dockyard, lengthened amid ships, a new stern suitable for screw propulsion given to her, and her old round bow superseded by one of greater length and more clipper-like in form. The result of these numerous alterations has in this instance turned out so far satisfactory that the ship is now undoubtedly the handsomest frigate in the British navy. The screw steam gunboat Jackdaw was put out of No. 5 dock, at Devonport , yesterday afternoon, and will to-day be placed Keyham basin. The paddlewheel steamvcssel, Medusa, from Sheerness, arrived yesterday at Plymonth, having in tow the Conquestador, which is to be used at that port for a powder ship. On Thursday last, when Sir Thos. Pasley quitted the Devonport dockyard, where he has for the last five years been doing duty as superintendent, about 2,000 of the artisans assembled spontaneously, and formed themselves into two columns,through which their late chief and his family passed amid the grateful cheers of the men, who paid him this com pliment in consequence of his considerate behaviour, and uniform kindness towards them during the whole term of his office. About 160 artisans and labourers have just been entered at the Devonport dockyard for the purpose of bringing forward ships of the first division and of the port division for the pendant. The screw steam gunvessel Lily, 4, from Sheer ness for the West Indies,arrived in Plymouth Sound ou Thursday evening. The Amphion, 36, screw, Capt. A C. Gordon, arrived at Spithead during the night of Thursday faom the Mediterranean. She left Malta, Nonni. STALE OF TRADE. home is trade Id. per an lb. MANc HES TER, Dec. 6. — ln a dvance asked to-day, which shipping, but the yarns we have had a betterd market since Tuesday for all kinds , b oth had in some cases and 2d. per lb. in others over the rates of Tues day, has caused the market to be rather quieter than been anticipated. The business Las boon sm aller than it would have been but for the advance, because , at the prices asked on Tuesday, it is known that persons w ere p re p ared to have bought rather considerable quantities. An advance has been sought for also upon cloth, but it has in a great measure stopped business. There have been some small lots of T-cloths, and some business has been done on a small scale in other fabrics, where sellers have been moderate in price, but any attempt to follow the advance in. yarns and cotton checks business, and buyers are unwilling almost to test the strength of the market. In shirtings the ten dency has been do wnwar d s un til to-day. Printers are in less demand than they were a week to a fortnight ago, probably in consequence of some fairish orders having then been placed, Several sellers report rather more in clination among buyer s t o t a k e T-oloths , where prices are moderate. The production of domestics is on a small seal, and stocks are getting low, but sellers have a difficulty in getting any advance in price. Frequent complaints have been made of late that cotton cloths exported from this mar ket have suffered from mildew, and so notorious have cases of this kind become that advertisements have appeared from parties offering to pack so as to protect them from in jury from this cause. It turns out, on investigation, that the evil arise s f rom a new practice of employing salt in sizing the warps used in manufacturing such cloths. Some of the manufactu rers h ave been accused of impregnating their cloths with l arge quantities of saline matter for the purpose of increasi ng its weight, and thus defrauding their customers wilfully. But this ingredient is too injurious to the manufacturer himself to be encouraged by him, inasmuch as it rots the warps before they can be woven, and also sp o il s th e colour. The probable ex planation of the practice is, as stated above, that the evil has arisen with the sizers, w h o h ave used some kind of salt with their sizing matter in ignorance of the damage likely to accrue to the goods subsequently from mildew. The prac tice is no doubt a bad one, and one which must be put a ' stop to. Such goods are more or less affected by the wea -1 ther, or the state of the atmosphere in which they may be placed, and an agent in Manchester who had unwittingly allowed some goods to be placed in hi s warehouse in which salt had been mixed with the size found them not only losing colour from mildew,but that they became heated to such an extent as to lead to a fear of combustion. They had, conse quently, to be removed without loss of time as a ma t ter of s afety. Whatever may ha v e b een the inducement to the use of such a substance--whether economy or fraud, with or without complicity on the part of the manufacturer—it is to be hoped that the expomo now going LawArci w i ll put WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of the Right Hon. Leicester Fitzgerald Charles Stanhope, Earl of Harrington, C,11., of Elvaston Citale, Derby ; Gawsworth, Chester, and Kensington Palace Gar dens, was proved in London on the 24th ult. The per sonalty was sworn under £250,000. The executors and trustees are the testator's nephew, the Marquis of Kildare; her Majesty's Attorney-General, Si r William Atherton; William Lloyd Birkbeck, E sq ., Inner Temple; and James Boyd, Esq., Furnival's Inn. The will is of considerable length, bearing date November, 1861, and is entirely of a family nature. The Earl has bequeathed to his relict, the Countess,a life interest in the estates over which his lordship had a power of dispositioa,which he has charged with annui ties to his two daughters. To the countess is alsobequeathed an immediate legacy of £3,000, together with a disposition over £lO,OOO, and to etch of his daughters he has given a like disposition over suns of £lO,OOO each. The remainder of the estates, real and personal, are left to his lordship's only.son and successor, t}l., resent Earl of Harrington (now in his seventeenth year), who is appointed the resi duary legatee. The late Earl, who attained the age of seventy-eight, was a Colonel in the Army, and a Knight Commander of the Order of the Redeemer, of Greece. The will of Sir Robert Henry Gunning, Baronet, of Horton, Northampton, was proved in the London Court, by the executors, the Reverend Sir Henry John Gunning, Bart., M.A., Rural Dean, Rector of Wigan, Lancashire, the testator's brother; and W. M. Fladgate, Esq., solicitor, Craven-street, Strand. The personalty was sworn under £9,000. The will bears date 1860, and a co dicil, August, 1862. These documents occupy many pages with directions as to the security and payment of several annuities. There are legacies left to his steward, gardener, and to all his other in and out door servants. His estates, subject and chargeable with these bequests, he has left to his brother and successor to the baronetcy. The testator died a bachelor at the age of 67. The will of James Walker, Esq., C.E., President of the Institute of Civil Engineers, who died at his residence, Great George-street, Westminster, on the Bth of last Octo ber, aged 81, was proved in the London Court on the 16th ult., the executors nominated being his sons-in-law, Alex. Boyle and Wm. Smythe, Esqrs., together with the Rev. J. Hoole, M.A., and G. K. Rickards, counsel to the Speaker of the House of Commons. The personalty was sworn under £300,000. The will was executed in March, 1860, and there are appended six codicils, which, by revocations, involve much complexity. These instru ments are of very ample dimensions, extending oer up wards of 300 folios. The bequests are also exceedingly numerous. There is a singular item in the will with refe ence to wine, in which the testator mentions one stock as consisting of 5,500 dozen and upwards, a number almost unprecedented in the cellars of a private gentleman. A large portion of these wines is bequeathed, conditionally, amongst his sons-in-law and some personal friends. His estates, subject to the payment of annuities and legacies, he directs to be divided into ten parts, and shared in certain specified proportions, chiefly amongst his daughters and their hus- Lands and children. Legacies are left to servants, and to the London and Westminster Hospitals £5OO each, and £5O for the Westminster Dispensary.—From the illustrated London News Deo. 6. THE MAGAZINES. Fraaer's Magazine. We find in this number an interesting article on " The Reaction in Naples," the writer of which states his conviction that the Bourbon dynasty finds no sympathisers among the better classes of the po pulation, and that the brigandage derives its strength entirely from the help afforded it by the Roman Government. In support of these states monis he brings forward some curious facts. For instance the brigand prisoners taken by the French soldiers " are marched to. Rome, where they are at once handed to the Pope's authorities, who without delay met them again at liberty. In this way up wards of a thousand men have at different times fallen into the hands of the French soldiers, with no other effect than to oblige them to make a journey to Rome. That this liberation really does take place, and is no idle invention, has been satisfac• torily proved by the fact that the French have on some occasions caught the very same individuals whom shortly before they had delivered into the Pope's keeping." The article on the "Present Position of the Church of England" will also repay perusal. " Laurel and Cypress" is an account of the late Australian exploration of Burke and Wills. Mr. Ruskin gives another essay on Political Eco nomy, and the tales, " A First Friendship" and " Adrian," are still in progress. Colburn's United Service Magazine. The third of the series of papers on " Continen tal Armies and Foreign Politics" is here given, the nation under consideration in this instance being Austria. The " Reminisences of Southern Africa" are concluded; and th e op i n i o n given of the coun try, as a field fo r em i grat i on , is, upon the whole, the reverse of favo ura bl e . In "The French Com mercial Marine" we find an abridgement of an article which appeared in the Revue des deux Iliondcs, and many of its statements will be new to English readers. The sixth chapter of "Lobscouse , treats of a cruise in the Coral Sea, but contains no very thrilling adventure. " Pen Sketches in Ceylon " are brought to a conclusion by an account of the Ascent to Adonis Peak ; and other articles treat of " The Greek Revolution," " Modern Pro jectiles and Armour Plating," &c. Colburn's New Illonthly Magazine. That "Democracy is, strictly speaking, only one of the incarnations of Despotism," its history, when ever it has gained the ascendancy, unmistakeably proves, and we could scarcely wish a stronger con firmation of it than is afforded by " The Reign of Terror," which is the subject of the opening article in this number. Edward P, Rowsell discourses " About Starts in Life," and the biographical sketch given by " Sir Nathaniel" this month treats of Gus tavus Adolphus. Be La Rive's Reminiscences of Count Cavour also furnishes matter for a paper. "The Shadow of Ashlydyat" and "Granville de Vigne" are continued, and the contents conclude with " A Dark Story." Dublin University Magazine. A review of Mr. Sandby's " History of the Royal Academy of Arts" opens the present number ; the article called " Glimpses of Goethe" will repay pursual ; and the sketch of the life and works of Paul de Kock is amusing. The tale called " The House by the Churchyard" has reached its one hundred and twelfth chapter, and a new one is commenced called "Little Flaggs, the Alms-house Foundling." The second part of the interesting account of the Irish actors Barry and Mossop appears ; and the Lancashire Crisis receives consideration. Mac»zillan's We direct attention to the able paper, by the editor on " Genius and Discipline in Literature." Professor Kingsley's clever tale of " The Water Babies" is still progressing. Miss Muloch discourses of the Great Exhibition. Agnes Strickland has a tale concerning Nelson's sword; and the distress in Lancashire forms the topic of the concluding article. Barrington.
