The re-establishment of Peace once more between the Chinese and ourselves was yesterday not inap propriately celebrated by the firing of the Park Guns, while we wrote upon that rapid triumph achieved by the Allied Expedition. Since then the official despatches have been promptly given to the public immediately upon the morrow of Mr. Lours arrival in this country with the newly negotiated Treaty, signed and sealed in Pekin itself by the two r„_ peetive Royal and Imperial Commis sioners, his Highness TSAI, Prince of I, uterine brother of the Emperor HIEN FUNG, and his Excellency the Earl of ELGIN, Her Britannic MAJESTY'S Ambassador Extraordinary and Mini ster Plenipotentiary. These important documents illustrating, in a -very remarkable manner, the course of events out at the seat of the late war at the opposite extremity of this hem is phere—documents which will be found given in extenso in another part of The Sun of this evenin g --Will amply repay perusal throughout, notwithstanding the formidable length to which they have, not much to ou r astonishment, extended. As yet, we can hardly realise the magnitude of the occurrences that have just now come to pass within the walls of the mighty and mysterious capital of China, and far and wide over the no less mysterious countryside in that great city's immediate neighbourhood. Posterity viewing.tlyse astonishing incidents from a distance of time more suitable in many ways for their ade quate appreciation, will turn with profound curiosity to the very records given in our impres sion of this evening, regarding them as historic nar ratives of an interest, in many particulars, wholly unparalleled. They will hardly fail to marvel at the extraordinary rapidity and completeness with which the mystery of China and the Chinese came at length to he sosived by the merest handful of resolute Europeang, alter the lapse of so marry centuries in the previous history of the world, during /ilich that singular mystery remaining/ altogether insarutable and impenetrable. It will then be rem embered, not without an enduring sense of surpri Ri and admiration, how so small a force of Allied Englishmen and Frenchmen marched from the shores of: the Gulf of Pecheli—pausing but for a brief interval at Tie*-tsin—marched directly, during the autumn of 1860, upon that world-famous C ity of Pekin, that had never before, in the annals of the human race, been approached by a force of armed Europeans ! It will continue to be borne in recollection generations hence with wonder, and not 'without gratification, how that little army of Analo-French warriors routed upon their march again and again, apparently over whelming masses of the Tartar cavalry, led by their most redoubtable leader the Prince SAN-KO LIN.SIN, the Chinese Generalissimo. How at their nearer and nearer approach to the hitherto inviolable capital of the Empire, the reigning EMPEROR over four hundred million Chinese fled in terror from his palace of luxuries, fled panic stricken with the remnant of his defeated armies far away beyond the frontiers of China Proper, into the savage wilds of Tartary. Then will be read with hardly less profound emotion, with hardly less eager curiosity than that felt by ourselves the living contempo raries of the events related in them, those enthral ling records of Tartar craft and Tartar cruelty— penned by the few fortunate survivors from among the number of the little band of European pri soners infamously entrapped by these Asiatic barbarians, the boasted conservators of a purely and the minor provi t ices of the empire, have not been backward to pci int it out, and to decline to move in the path to hich they were invited. The circumstances of the b . our might make all tempo rarily pretty safe, but the circumstances of some future hour might show that confidence was weak ness and ruin. We have now the full text before us of the circular of the new Minister of the Interior, Baron SCHMERLING, and what shall we say to it ? It seems ungenerous to be f©r ever distrusting. Its spirit is unquestionably a great advance upon that of the former documents which have appeared since the battle of Solferino ; but if we think of it in comparison with anything wh ich could b e thought of before that event, it loo ks alto if "a change had indeed come over the spirit of the dream" in Austria. The Revolution, so far as it has gone in Italy, is really not more wonderful than the issue of such a manifesto as that which has just been publishid by the Government of Austria. THE t . SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING; which Austria was one province ; and a strong and free Hungary, to which all the eastern pro vinces would rally. There can be little doubt that Baron SCHMER LING is very much h am p ere d i n hi s ac ti on by suc h a colleague as Count ItICHSBERG and others; but what he has offered both in regard to political con cessions and the public administration of justice, is so much that he is entitled to say that " A long distance will have been travelled in the path of political progress when the things which at this moment I recommend to your attention shall have been carried into effect—shall have become part of the people's habits." It will be so, but there will be a long distance to travel still. Trial by jury, and possibly a Habeas Corpus Act, are not part of the programme, though the latter appears to be pointed at in one passage. Publicity in trials and oral examinations are great advances; but, when we think of a genuine patriot in the hands of Austrian judges, we feel the unspeakable value of an institution which compels the Crown to submit to the judgment of his peers the question of a man's innocence or guilt. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge has been pleased to appoint Captain Wm. P. Cust to be one of her royal highness's equerries. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll have been unable to meet at Trentham this Christmas, owing to the Duchess being confined by a severe cold at Roseneath D umbartenshire. The Earl and Countess of Warwick and family, who came to town for a few days since from Warwick Cas tle, leave shortly for Torquay. The marriage of Lord Delainere with Miss Augusta Seymour, daughter of Sir Hamilton Seymour, was solemnised on Thursday, at St. James's, by the Rev. Pitt Cholmondeley. ST. JAMES'S HALL.—Ths Buckley Serenaders well maintain their ground, and on Wednesday were hon oured with overflowing audiences. Anna Maria Jones ap pears to be an immense favourite, whilst " A little more Cyder" brings down a perfect hurricane of applause. Mr. G. Buckley is the best bones we have ever seen, and his solo from the opera of" Zampa" must be heard to be appre ciated. The entertainment is brought to a close by a plan tation festival dance entitled " Dixies' Land," the comica lities of which are irresistible, and the audiences never leave excepting in the best of humour. SIMIOUS CASE OF STABBING.—On Thursday night two men, engaged in a cab-yard at Kennington, quarrelled whilst in a state of intoxication, when one of the men, named Nash, stabbed the other in the neck. The wounded man was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital,' where he now lies in a very dangerous state. SNOW-BALLING.—A gentleman named Carley, residing at Albany-street, Clerkenwell, was so violently assaulted by snowballs that a fall ensued, and his collar. bone was broken. One of the offenders, named Woodhouse, _ _ _ imaginary civilization. Conspicuous among these authentic narratives, pre .. e minent amongst them in every particular will remain henceforth, we may rest perfectly well assured, the masterly document 'written by her MAJESTY'S Consul, Mr. HARRY PARKES, that com plete and categorical document, for the prompt diffusion of which our columns of this evening lend their ready aid in extending its immediate circula tion. When examined carefully—as it deserves — Mr. PARKES'S statement will be found to be in every way what it could have been wished, or what it could have been expected. It is fall, detailed, and perspicuous. It forms at once the most lucid, the most reliable, and the most picturesque narrative of his ever memorable captivity. It illustrates, in a startling manner, as never certainly before has upon any occasion before been illustrated the whole idiocyn cracy of the Tartar character, the whole system of the Chinese Government. Nothing could be more clear and succinct than the account given by Mr. PARKES in the earlier portion of this lengthened History of his Captivity, the carefully detailed account there given by him of the incidents, mark ing the date of its commencement on Tuesday, the 18th of September. Every individual fact, every minute circumstance there related, tends to the com plete vindication of this good servant of the Crown, this singularly able, daring, and generous-hearted Englishman, from the base and, as we felt certain, they would prove the utterly groundless charges directed against him but little more than a week ago, by our chief morn ing contemporary. According to the Times of last week it was upon Mr. PARKES that devolved the responsibility of the occurrences of the 18th of September;,those occurrences which resulted unhap pily in the seizure and subsequent death by torture of so many of our lamented fellow-countrymen. According to the irresistible evidence of actual facts now brought clearly under the observation of us all, Mr. PARKES, on the contrary, upon the 18th of September, risked his life, his reputation everything in the endeavour to effect the liberation of his cunningly and lawlessly entrapped companions. It was to Mr. PARKES himself more over to his unflinching and unhesitating determi nation from first to last, while in the midst of the most frightful perils, and when weighed down body and soul by prolonged and apparently hopeless sufferings, it was to this brave and generous man's constancy, under Heaven, that Mr. Locri and those others who were returned alive at last to the Allied Camp from the very jaws of destruction, may be said most truly to have owed their almost miraculous preservation. And now while we are closing these remarks of ours after our first eager perusal of these enthral ling documents, published elsewhere, in elucida tion of the closing incidents of the late extraor dinary War in China, we may revert with satisfaction to that formal Treaty of Peace, the arrival of which in England woke yesterday in the capital of our empire the exultant booming of our artillery. Brief though that Treaty is, number ing in all no more than Nine Articles, each in turn sententiously enough expressed, the im portance of it in every particular is almost, we might ♦enture to assert, beyond the reach of exag geration. The date alone has its significance — Done at Pekin, in the Court of the Board of Ceremonies, on the 24th day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty !" Article I. expresses distinctly, on the part of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of CHINA, his MAJESTY'S " deep regret" at the occurrence of the ambuscade at the Taku fortifica tions. Article 11. decides that in accordance with a stipulation in the former treaty (that of 1858) " her Britannic MAJESTY'S representative will henceforward reside permanently or occasionally at Pekin," according to her Britannic MAJESTY'S 1 will and pleasure. Article 111. fixes the amoun of the indemnity at the moderate sum of 8,000,000 taels, and not, as we had hoped (and as we can not now but regret that it is not) at 16,000,000. Article IV. provides for the opening to trade hence forth of the port of Tient-tsin. Article V. declares that perfect freedom in future is to be allowed for Coolie emigration. Article VI. announces the yield ing up to England of a certain portion of the town ship of Cowloon. Article Vll.—not by any means, as will be seen at a glance, the least important of the Nine—asserts in two pithy paragraphs, firstly —"lt is agreed that the provisions of the treaty of 1858, except in so far as these are modified by be present convention, shall without delay come into operation as soon as the ratifications of the treaty aforesaid shall have been exchanged"—and se condly, "It is further agreed that no separate ratification of the present convention shall be ne cessary, but that it shall take effect from the date of its signature, and be equally binding with the treaty above mentioned on the high contracting parties." Article VIII. provides for the publica tion of the terms of the treaty by order of the EM PEROR. of China throughout the whole of the vast extent of his Imperial dominions. Article IX., relat ing to the withdrawal of our forces from China when all the. essential terms of this Treaty shall have been duly carried out. And so drops the diplomatic curtain upon what has now but two months ago been " done at Pekin" on the part of the Emperor HEIN-FuNo by the Prince of I, his MAJESTY'S brother and Imperial Commissioner, and on the part of Queen VICTORIA by th e E arl of E LGIN, her Britannic MAJESTY ' S Ambassador and Pleni potentiary. Can anything liberal come from Austria? is a question we naturally ask as each of the successive documents issued by the Government have followed each other. In every one hitherto some pitfall for religious and political liberty has been quickly detected, and the Protestant Church, and Hungary, _ • What is perhaps most remarkable is the almost entire dropping of the language of paternalism for that of confidence in the capacity and good feeling of the people. Thus, at the very beginning, the EMPEROR for the first time speaks to his subjects as full-grown men :—" His Majesty confides to the matured intelligence of his people the prosperous development and consolidation 'of the institutions which contain in themselves the guarantee of a free movement." In the same spirit " the public rights of the people," and " the spontaneous activity of the people," as the source of material wealth, are distinctly asserted; and numerous are the expressions of the same stamp. This revolution, in Austrian State language, should indicate some thing more than a mere verbal reform. One would think that even an Austrian Government could hardly be so demented as to adopt the very words of constitutionalism and freedom when intending to build up despotism. Such language is itself a training of the people to the very opposite system. Two years ago an editor, writing in this style, would have written his next paper in a prison. The Press will, no doubt, continue to receive hints and advice which it will not dare to overlook, yet the language of the circular respecting this terror of tyrants is that of a trustful appeal, not of warning—" As regards the press, which he must consider one of the most powerful instruments for the propagation of knowledge, and of the sentiments which form the bases of sound instruction, the arrangement made is that all preventive intervention shall cease. It is only justice to acknowledge that in many difficult circumstances the press has zealously and ably defended the cause of the country; during the war the last year especially, it happily combined a patriotic attitude with prudence. This experience is of a nature to inspire confidence, and the confidence which the Government has resolved to place in the press will contribute, I hope, to maintain it in that path of moderation, of unimpassioned, cool, and rational judgment, of pro priety, and also to fill it with that noble pride to which its mission of enlightening millions gives it the right to aspire. The consciousness of inde pendence will at the same tine imbue it with the sentiment that it alone is re sponsible, and to a greater degree than ever, both for the substance and the form, and this sentiment will preserve it from all excesses." What editor, after such an appeal, could refuse to put the best construction on the acts of the con fiding Government ? Baron SCHMERLING is a thorough German, in regard to the length and semi-philosophical cast of his sentences; but, unless the circumlocution be meant to mislead, the avowal is as clear as liberal mysti cism could make it, that Austria is to become a con stitutional Power. Here is a pleasant Christmas riddle for our readers, but we may hope that the meaning is good :—" Austria has entered with all her integral parts, equally, and in the same man ner, into the rank of those European States which have found in participation, reposing on the oldest historical foundations, and regulated by the public right of all the people, the means of elevating her self to that high power which constitutes the fun damental condition of material prosperity and intellectual impulse, the inviolability of the law and of international consideration, as well as of the patriotic pride which not only excites the brave sons of the country to acts of courageous heroism, but also gives increased strength to the occupations of peace." The constitutionalism of Austria is, however, perhaps necessarily, to be a federal one. The advantage of nationalities being strictly respected, and their development fostered in their own way, is so strongly asserted, as to suggest whether the divide et:impera was not in the mind of the writer. One great advance is made upon the Diploma. According to that the classes only— nobility, clergy, burghers, and peasants—were to be represented; this is to be superseded by the repre sentations of interests and direct election; the for mer scheme, had, indeed, met with universal censure. The composition of the federal council—the Reichs rath—will be a very important affair. In regard to this we are told that its construction on a libe ral basis is necessary, as a consequence of the liberalising of the provincial councils. "It must, therefore, not only be allowed the initiative and publicity of its deliberations, but it will also be necesssary for it to be appointed, leaving aside the proposition of the provincial States, by the direct election of those States, and for it to obtain by the number of its members the consideration and moral weight necessary for the high functions as signed to it." It is said that its members are to be increased to about 300. It is from the Reichsrath that an anxious eye is cast on Hungary. Hunga rian mistrust seems to be deprecated on the double ground of the determination fully to respect the rights of nationalities, and of the large powers to be accorded to the Reichsrath, in which the Hun garians must have a very considerable number of representatives. Yet the national rights of Hungary undeniably clash with merging her highest poli tical functions in a federal council. Nothing can be more certain than that Hungary is legally, and was de facto till 1849, an independent kingdom. That her union with the other Austrian provinces, except the partes annexes was wholly personal; that her Diet must vote the taxes and number of sol diers, and that Austria could not, without leave, introduce even a German regiment into the country. How such natural rights, now firmly demanded back by the Hungarians, can be surrendered to a Federal Council, is not easy to see. Baron SCHMERLING seems bent on showing to the Hun• garians such a very liberal and constitutional Austria that, smitten with the love of her, they are to surrender the fundamental rights of their Diet and kingdom, just that there may be such a thing as a powerful and united Austrian Empire. It is to be feared—hoped, we should rather say— that the Hungarians will stand to their colours. Both the faithless Hapsburgs and the selfish and conceited German bureaucrats are wholly un worthy of confidence, except as they are kept in fear. Hungary for the Hungarians is the only security for a free Hungary. What becomes of Austria is of no earthly consequence. She has been the pest of Europe this many a year; to cut her to pieces and to liberalise her fragments is the best thing which can be done with her. The final re sult would probably be a united Germany, of • • is in custody. ROBBING A COMRADE.—At Woolwich, yester day, a marine named Greig, was committed for trial for robbing a comrade of a sovereign, and Beesley, a private of the 2d Battalion Military Train, remanded on a charge of uttering counterfeit coin. BURGLARIES AT CHRISTMAS.—John Smith and Hester Tarling, well known thieves, were yesterday re manded for a week by Mr. Coombe, the magistrate of the Southwark police-court, for having in their poseession, a quantity of boots and shoes supposed to be the proceeds of a burglary committed on Christmas-day. STEALING A POLICEMAN'S UNlFORM.—Yester day, John Green was sent to prison for having in his pos session a constable's uniform which had been stolen. Green said he had been promised 2d. to carry the bundle a short distance. CELEBRATING CHRlSTMAS.—Frederick Vyner was yesterday sent to prisen for two months by Mr. D'Eyn court, for refusing to pay £1 155., the value of glass broken by him at a public-house in the Bagnigge-wells-road. COUNT TELEKI.—The ,Nord refers to the capital condemnation pronounced against Count Teleki for the part he took in trying to deliver his country. Giving him up to the Austrian police was therefore wantonly consign ing him to the scaffold ; but the Nord is of opinion that the various Governments and public opinion will defend the Count. It says :—" Public opinion is now a power which the strotgest Governments cannot brave with impunity ; much leas those which, like Austria, are every day com pelled to make further concessions to it. If, howe,cr, Austrian Government should think of executing the sen tence pronounced against Count Teleki ten years ago, it would precipitate the issue which a kind of fatality seems to be preparing for the difficulties which beset it." The shares of the Labuan Coal Company expe rienced a considerable advance yesterday, advices having been received confirming the favourable opinion of the mines, and stating that any quantity of coal can be pro cured at cheap rates. The agent writes :—" I quite agree with the original statement of Mr. Smith, the mining en gineer, that the colliery - will prove an extraordinarily lucrative adventure, and will supply the whole East with coal." The prospects 'of the undertaking are also consi dered to have been much benefited :by the conclusion of peace with China, and the consequent probability of a greatly extended trade. Advices from Christiania state that the traffic of the Norwegian Trunk Railway, of which one-half the capital is held in England, is steadily recovering from the check caused by the disastrous floods in the spring, and that the current receipts now show an increase over the corresponding period of 1859, which was the best year since the lino has been opened. To meet the last payment of 5 per cent. preference interest the receipts were .5,000 dole. short, but this deficiency has since been fully made up. ' The accounts from Vienna describe a great increase of distrust. The notification that the dividends on the national loan, which are bound to be paid in silver, will be arbitrfrily met in paper at, the exchange of 140, has pro duced a very bad effect, and there are also rumours of a forced loan of £3,000,000 being in contemplation. The introduction of a forced paper currency in Venetia is like wise talked of, with the double view, perhaps, of relieving immediate wants, and of causing loss to fall upon the people in case of any revolutionary movement. PRICE OF AGRICULTURAL STOCK.—Some fat wether sheep were exhibited in Watford-market last week and sold to the butchers in the neighbourhood, several at six guineas each ; they were under twenty-two months old, bred and fed by Mr. Sedgwick, of Cashio-bridge Farm, from Southdown ewes (Mr. itigden's breed) by Oxford shire Down tups. RIOT IN A WORKHOUSE.—This morning eight pauper girls, who had been inmates of the City of London Union ever since they were infants, were brought before Mr. Selfe, at the Thames Police •court, charged with riotous conduct in the house. The magistrate commented strongly on their ungrateful conduct, and sent them to prison for 10 days. Yesterday the inmates of Camberwell-house, Dr. Paul's Lunatic Asylum, celebrated the festive season in a very joyous manner. Cakes, nuts, and lemonade were served, and the farce of " Box and Cox" was performed before them. Their enj iyment was very great. The music had a peculiar happy effect. Snowballing in the Tuileries gardens was carried on to such an extent on Christmas•day that it became necessary to send for troops to protect the public. A parcel of young scamps systematically assailed every well-dressed person, particularly ladies who wore bonnets worth spoiling. One young man, supposed to be an Englishman, used his cane in self-defence, and a regular row was the conse quence. Many bear-skin caps belonging to the grenadier guards who came to restore order were seen rolling about in the snow. The troops were unarmed, and could do little, but ultimately a body of serpents de ville cleared the gardens and arrested several of the snowballers. THE LATE COLLISION ON THE MIDLAND RAIL WAY.—Since the collision which took place on Monday last on the Midland Railway near to the Nottingham sta tion, between the Derby and Leicester trains, one of the sufferers named Wm. Lyle, who was in tho employ of the company's contractor for loading timber, has died of con cussion of the brain. An inquest has been held upon the body, and the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." The jury also, from the evidence adduced, considered that no blame rested with the company's servants, inasmuch as the driver of the Leicester train appeared to have used every exertion to stop his train, but was prevented from doing so, owing to the slippery state of the rails. PORTLAND, Dec. 27.—During a terrific storm of wind, snow, and sleet from the south-east, last evening, a large vessel called the Erina, laden with timber from Sweden for Bristol, was wrecked on the outer breakwater at Portland. It appears from the statement of the crew that during the worst part of the storm, about 5 30 p.m., the breakwater and the light at its outer extremity were seen close at hand, and in a few minutes afterwards the ship was dashed against the timber staging of the breakwater and shortly became a total wreck. The crew, 'with the excep tion of the pilot, were saved by means of a rope thrown to them by the lightkeeper, who was fortunately at hand when the catastrophe took place. The poor fellow drowned was a Cowes pilot. It is believed he had previously been seriously hurt by the falling of a spar, which may account for his not being saved. The damage done to the staging is very considerable and will take some time to repair. The' wreck, after breaking up, was carried by the wind and tide round the end of the breakwater and was strewn along the beach, on the westernside of the harbour, for some distance. Another vessel called the Harriet, of Hull, was wrecked about the same time on the beach, near Weymouth. All hands were saved. If the weather moderates this vessel may be got offs ~,.--.~ DECEMBER 29, 1860. 1110ABY AIARRET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Some unfavourable changes are shown in the Bank of England return completed to the 26th December. The bullion, owing to the continued shipments of specie to the United States, has been diminished by about half a million, and there is a de crease in the reserve of notes to a considerable extent. The active demand for money usual at the close of the year has caused an increase of over half a million in the Other Securities. The Public De posits, owing to the payment of official salaries, show a slight falling off; but there is an increase in the Private Deposits of about a quarter of a million sterling. In the other items of the balance sheet there are no changes requiring special notice. Subjoined are the particulars : Active Circulation .. Decrease Bullion • . • • • • • • Decrease ..

A call of £2 per share, amounting to £BO,OOO, is duo on, Monday, the 31st inst., on the North British Border Union Guaranteed £lO Railway Shares. Continued activity is reported in the general discount market, and the quotations exhibit in creased firmness. A fair amount of business was recorded in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were well supported. The sales were 12,000 bales. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £376,800, and the exports £844,000. The Royal Mail steamship America, which left Liverpool to-day for Halifax and* Boston, took £162,603 in specie. The market for Public Securities to-day has presented an unfavourable appearance, Consols having receded to 921 1. Monetary affairs are exerting an adverse influence, the speculators being encouraged to effect sales, owing to the in creased firmness of the discount market and the flow of gold to America. The New Threes and the Reduced receded to 921; India 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper to 95 ; but Exchequer Bills were firmer at 3s. dis. par.

The will of his Grace the Most Noble Charles Gordon, Duke of Richmond and Lennox, Earl of March and Darnley, Baron Settrington and Methuen, and Duke d'Aubigny, in France, K.G., P.C., of Gordon Castle, N. 8., Goodwood Park, Sussex, and of Portland-place, bears date the 19th of July, 1850, and is very brief. His grace has appointed his son the Earl of March and Darnley, now Duke of Richmond and Lennox, sole executor, to whom probate was granted on the 17th of December by her Ma jesty's principal registry. The personalty was sworn under £120,000. The dispositions contained in the will are to the following effect :—His grace directs that all books and family pictures, both ancient and modern, con tained in Gordon Castle, be held in trust as " heirship movables" according to the Jaw of Scotland. The books, plate, and family pictures contained at his grace's seat, Goodwood, and at his town mansion, Portland-place, be held in trust as heirlooms. His grace then devises•and bequeaths the whole of his property, real and personal, to his son and successor, the present duke. This contains the whole substance of the will, there being no other bequest whatever. The attesting witnesses thereto are Messrs. M. S. and F. G. Davidson, solicitors. His grace died at his residence, 51, Portland-place, on October 21, aged 70. The will of Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., M.P. fez Southwark, of Merchistouk Hall, Hordean, Hants, and Albemarle •street, Piccadilly, dated the 4th of Dec. 1848, was proved in the London Court of Probate on the 12th of Dec., by his daughter, Eloise Fanny Harriet Jodrell, and her hus band, the Rev. Henry Jodrell, M.A., chaplain to the Duke of Leeds, and rector of Gislekare, Suffolk, two of the execu tors ; power reserved to the Right Hon: Francis Lord Napier, of Thirlstane, Scotland. The personalty was sworn under £30,000. Sir Charles disposes of his estate, real and personal, to his daughter for her life, and after her decease to her husband, the Rev. Henry Jodrell ; and on the death of the last survivor of them the estates are to devolve to thoir eldest son on the express condition of his assuming the name of Napier, together with the arms and crest of the family. The witnesses to the will are C. B. Hibbard, solicitor, and J. C. Chandler, his clerk. There is a codicil so recently executed as 1855 in Sir Charles's own handwriting. This instrument gives an annuity of £lOO, together with the Admiral's residence, Albemarle-street, and the furniture contained therein, to Mrs. Charles Wilkins, which annuity and bequest on her decease are to descend to her children. This codicil is witnessed by Captain G. T. Gordon, R.N., and J. W. Ozsard, Paymaster, R.N. Sir Charles died on the 6th of November last, aged 74. This gallant Admiral, who was so eminent in his profession, was decorated with several foreign orders and titles. The will of his Excellency Sir Henry George Ward, G.C.M.G., Governor of Madras, formerly Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Ceylon, bears date in 1839, at Gilston Park, Hertford. The executors nomi nated are his relict, Emily Lady Ward, and her brother, Rear-Admiral C. H. Swinburne, who have both renounced the grant of probate, whereupon letters of administration, with the will annexed, were taken out on the 17th of December in the London Court by Swinburne Ward, Esq., the testator's son. The personalty in this county was sworn under £5,000. Sir Henry died on the 2d of October last. The dispositions of the will are confined to a few sentences, giving the whole of the property to his wife, Emily Lady Ward, for her own use absolutely. Sir Henry was well known for his distinguished services as a diplomatist and attache, and as a member of the House of Commons; and, previously to his appointment as Governor to the Presidencies of Madras and Ceylon, he had held the office of Secretary to the Board of Admi ralty.—lllustrated News. THE SYLPHIDE SCANDAL.—Mr. W. Y. Grandy, Second Master of her Majesty's ship Himalaya, and son of Captain J. S. W. Grandy, R.N., commanding the Marquis of Downshire's ship Sylphide, yesterday waited upon our Portsmouth correspondent and handed to him for his in spection letters received from Captain Grandy, dated on board the Sylphide in the Bay of Naples on the 18th and 19th inst. These letters contained nothing beyond what a gentleman might be expected to write to his family in England while absent in foreign parts. The dates of the letters themselves are the best proofs which 'can be given of the falsehood of the scandal which has obtained such circul at ion . Times. THE WEATHER.—On Thursday the Tyne had a singular appearance off Newcastle quay and Gateshead. . _ It was entirely frozen over from the Tyne bridge to the bottom of the quay, forming a very fine sheet o: ice. Hun dred of persons were upon the ice, skating and sliding, and in the afternoon it appeared as if all the quay -side brokers and merchants had taken to the ice, and were disporting themselves as if they were boys again. A tent was erected in the middle of the river, from which refreshments were dispensed. It is 35 years since the Tyne was frozen over. The river is entirely blocked up down to the low end of the Long Reach. At Bill Point, St. Laurence, and some other parts of the river, an immense mass of ice is accumulated. Above Tyne-bridge the river is entilibly covered with ice. A fleet of light collier vessels has arrived in the Tyne. Fortunately, the entrances to the Tyne and Northumber land Docks are open, so that there will be no impediment to their loading, 44 all the colliery railways are working. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)
