And whereas a contagious or infectious disorder, of which the nature is at present uncertain, has lately appeared, and now prevails among cattle within the metropolis and in the neighbourhood thereof, and it is expedient to take measures for preventing such disorders from spreading, Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Co unc il do hereby, by virtue: and in exercise of the powers given by the said recited act, and by the several acts continuing the same aforesaid, orderas follows : 1. If at the date of the publication of this order in the "London Gazette," there shall be any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox labouring under any contagious or infectious disorder in the possession or custody of any cowkeeper, dairyman, or dairywoman, or of any milkman or milk woman, or vendor or purveyor of milk, or of any dealer in cattle whatsoever within the City . of London or within the limits of the metropolitan police district, or if at any time hereafter, while this present order shall continue in force and unrevoked, any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox, being in the possession or custody of any such person as afore said within the said City of London or within the metro politan police district shall be seized or attacked with, or be found labouring or suffering under, any such contagious or infectious disorder ' notice of the existence of such dis order, or of the first appearance of such disorder in or among the cattle belonging to or in custody of any such person as aforesaid, shall immediately thereupon be given by the person in whose possession or custody such diseased animals or animal shall be, to the clerk of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council in waiting at the office of har Majesty's Privy Council at Whit e h a ll, i n th e c o un ty of Middlesex ; and it shall be lawful for the said clerk of her Majesty's Privy Council, and for all such persons as shall by writing under his hand authorise in that behalf thereupon, and at all reasonable times thereafter, to in spect or examine all or any such diseased animals or ani mal, and to report to the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council all such information and particulars as to the na ture or character of such disorder as may seem to him ex pedient for the purpose of enabling proper regulations to be made for preventing or checking the further propaga tion and increase of such disorder. 2. Every person offending against this order, and omit ting to give such notice or to permit such inspection and examination as aforesaid, shall for every such offence for feit 'any sum not exceeding twenty pounds, which the jus tices before whom he or she shall be convicted of such offence may think It to impose.

The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care ful y investigated by the Committee, and with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take in the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify then for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those who, trom neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly HQ, and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some wbo have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not help her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the bast we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "run away," none of us shou'd be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?". The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statistics, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish, though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there arc numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State The Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the Institution presents all the fea lures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to school work—reading, and writing, and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in olijects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with venous industrial occupations— making brown psper bags for bankers, and white taper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c othes, Ace.

" The freedom of the seas, pacific contests in labour, and the beneficent conquests of com merce " were meant by the union of the flags of England and France. The Duke of Somerset, replying to the toast, thanked the Minister for the sentiments he had ex pressed, and said they accepted the toast as a proof of the cordial friendship of the Emperor and the French nation for the English Queen and the Eng lish people. They also, on their part, entertained the same sentiments of esteem for the Emperor of the French. They trusted his Majesty might long • continue to enjoy his present good health. This they desired, not only because it was for the wel fare of the two countries, but also because it tended to guarantee the happiness and the pacific progress of Europe. In proposing the health of the Emperor he spoke not in the name of the Government or of any political party, but in the name of every en lightened Englishman. PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. The Frauds on the Birmingham Banking Company. Benjamin Taylor and Henry Kelly, who stand cha s rged with having conspired to defraud the Birmingham Banking Company of a large sum of money, by means of forged bills of exchange, were yesterday again placed at the bar of the Mansion-house, before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Detective-sergeant Webb, to undergo a further examination upon that charge. Mr. George Lewis appeared to prosecute ; Mr. Montagu Williams, barrister,' appearedfor Taylor, and Mr. Be ar d appeared for Kelly. Rebecca Braby said she lived at 50, Wood-street, Cheap side, and let out part of her house as offices. In the be ginning of 1864 she had a paper up that the office was to be let, and the prisoner called and said he wanted to take an office merely for his samples. He ultimately took an office in her house at £2O per annum, and gave the name of " Campbell and Kelly," and signed the agreement " C. Kelly and Co." The prisoner gave up the office in July, 1864, and had only paid her one quarter's rent. She never saw any Mr. Campbell at the office. Robert Aldred, master of the Union, Wandsworth, said his wife was possessed of a house, 285, High-street, Camden Town, which was let to a person named Runsdale, who left the houso in the early part of 1864. Early in December last Kelly called on him and said ho had taken the house from Mr. Runsdale, and had called to see if he would be accepted as a tenant. He said he had done certain repairs to the house, and he had accepted him forthe remaining portion of the time, which was until Midsummer this year. He gave the name of Henry Kelly. He still occupied the house at the present time, and owed two quarters' rent. Charles Burgess said ho lived in the service of Messrs. Brown and Sons, bootmakers, 81, High-street, Birmingham. He knew both prisoners, and had known Kelly about five years. He first knew him as Kelly, and knew that ho took an office, 424, in Oxford-street, London, in the name of Campbell, Kelly, and Co. Witness was then employed at the shop over which the prisoner had his office. The house was rented by Benjamin Nichol, who was the prisoner's brother-in-law, and carried on the business of a leather seller and bootmaker, and the prisoner had his letters ad dressed there as Campbell, Kelly, and Co. At the same time he knew him to be carrying on business at 285, High street, Camden-town, in the name of Ross and Co. He had seen Kelly write on several occasions. The acceptances to the two bills produced, 'drawn by Taylor on Ross and Co., he believed were in Kelly's handwriting. Mr. Lewis was about to put some bills also drawn by Taylor, and accepted by Ross and Co., and which had been issued to other parties, into the hands of witness. . • Mr. Montagu Williams objected, inasmuch as they were irrelevant to the charge of defrauding the Birmingham Banking Company. __ _ The Lord Mayor ruled that they could not be evidence. Witness continued—He managed the shop in Oxford street, which was carried on by Benjamin Nichol. The name over the door was witness's name—Burgess and Co. Kelley had had conversation with witness and Nichol, and Kelly said it would be to witness's advantage to have his name up, as he would one day be made a partner, and he was induced to allow him to use his name. He believed the premises belonged to Nichol and the prisoner Taylor. He used to see Taylor there at times. Witness never au thorised them to accept bills in his name, nor was he aware that they were doing so until he was told so by Mr. Lewis. He never accepted bills as C. Burgess and Co., and the two bills which were produced, purporting to be accepted by Burgess and Co., were not `accepted by him. He was never asked to accept bills. He signed receipts to bills Burgess and Co., and paid the money over. Tie handwriting of C. Burgess and Co., across the two bills, ho believed to be Nichol's. Nichol was carrying on a business at 2a, Dean street, Soho, as Nichol and Co. The acceptance, B. Nichol and Co. to a third bill produced, was also in the handwrit ing of Nichol. Benjamin Wheeler Poulton said he carried on business as commission agent, at 24, Coleman-street. He knew Kelly. In January last ho told him that he had been building, and had lodged the deeds with his lawyer, who advanced him money weekly to pay his men ; but as he was lending his clients' money ho wanted more security, and asked witness to lend him his acceptance. He told the prisoner he could not pay the bills if ho were called upon, and he said he would hold him harmless. Ho accepted four bills, one was for £lOB 18s., and the other three were blanks. Two of them had the drawer's name. Three bills, £45 17s. 6d., dated 25th March, 1865 ; £9l 6s. 3d., dated April 11; and £62 10s., dated let April, wore all three his acceptances, and were drawn by Taylor. Mr. Lewis said the whole of the body of one of the bills was in the writing of Taylor, clearly showing his connec tion with Kelly. Witness continued—The bills had been presented and had been dishonoured. He had got the small bill back j f r . o H m a H rv e e l y ly s . n and saw Mr he went to Mr. Harvey's office with Kelly, o Harvey hand Kelly three blank acceptances K on a nine dliCe o knew. , a tl 3 O, person Philp o w t - h l ne. carried n theon businessl3 tliA p; ' t ta m an bm r u ce . pt.

Bevington and Co., leather manufacturers, Cannon-street West, said he knew . Taylor, who had had transactions with tho firm. The bill for £62 10s. produced was received by him by letter from the prisoner Taylor. In the course of the examination Mr. Lewis, in answer to the Lord Mayor, said the whole amount which tho Bir mingham Company had lost was about £2,700. The account was opened with a small deposit in money, and very little money was paid in during the three weeks the account was open. The plisoners were again remanded. Foreign Vail Packet List.

TIMM—The fuller particulars of the voyage of the Great Eastern confirm the conclusion forced upon us by the telegraphic summary from Crook ' haven. her attempt to lay the Atlantic Cable be tween Valentia and Newfoundland was indeed beset with perils, but all of them would have been, as far as man can judge, successfully overcome had the machinery provided for hauling in the cable upon the discovery of a fault been of sufficient strength. From first to last, however, this machinery proved defective. When the first failure of insulation was detected, at a distance of 50 miles from Valentia, and steps were taken to recover the cable which had been paid out, it became apparent that the hauling in apparatus was insufficient. The boiler of the steam-engine which supplied the hauling-in power could not keep up steam enough for the purpose, and the hauling-in itself was feeble and intermittent. On that occasion, however, and again when the se cond fault occurred, the cable vas fortunately got back up to the points where the faults lay, but on the third loss of insulation the machinery broke down entirely, and the cable was broken. It was in consequence of the absolute stoppage of the steam-engine, and the consequent necessity that the Great Eastern should almost held on at the cable itself, tbat the chafing took platy at the bow which occasioned the fracture. The subsequent efforts to recover the lost end were admirable as examples of perseverance and of skill in seamanship, but these also failed from imperfect machinery. The hauling in engine was not strong enough for its work, and the wire rope to which the grapnel WWI fastened was not strong enough for the pressure upon it. It broke again and again as it rose through the water, and the weight upon it increased, until at last the fact that the store of rope itelf was expended sent the Great Eastern back to our shores. The story of the attempt of the Great Eastern to lay the second cable is the story of a failure, but of a failure which proves the possibility of success. When the first fault was detected, on the 24th of July, after 84 miles of the cable had been laid, and the in sufficiency. of the hauling-in apparatus became evi dent, a feeling of profound gloom was not unnatu rally experienced on board the ship. It was found that the cable could not on an average be drawn in at a greater rate than a mile an hour, and sometimes the operation had to be entirely suspended. The electricians on board were, moreover, wholly un able to agree upon . an approximation to the distance at which the fault lay from the ship. Under such circumstances an immediate return might have been excused ; but fortunately it was resolved to perse vere in the enterprise, for the after experience must prove invaluable when the next attempt is made to lay the cable. A bit of iron about the size of a straw and two inches long was soon found sticking on the cable, and the expedition proceeded in better heart than ever. A second fault, due to a like cause, and detected in the same way, was more discourag ing, for it presented the appearance of a malicious injury rather than of an accident, but this, too, was cured, and precautions were taken to prevent any third flaw of the same kind from being paid out un observed. Men were stationed to watch the cable as it left the tank, and on the 2d of August they heard a suspicious rasping noise, and signalled to the men on deck. Unfortunutely the signalling was imperfect, and the fault was paid out before the machinery was stopped. The electrical tests showed a slight loss of insulation, but it was so slight that it was debated whether the paying out should be con tinued, and after:some hesitation it was resolved to take the prudent course of hauling in the cable. The tedious operation which had twice been successfully performed was commenced once more. The end of the cable was carefully shifted from the stern to the bow, and the great ship swung around so as to ride, so to ; speak, to the cable. The drawing in of the cable was begun, but the steam-engine completely broke down. For some time the picking up ceased altogether, and, to add to the misfortune, the ship began to drift athwart the line of the cable, and to . forge against the portion hanging over the bow. Then the cable got entangled in a hawse-pipe, and it was necessary to free it by lowering a wire rope, which was fastened to it in a bight below the pipe. By this time the machinery was once more in motion, and it was possible to pick up the cable again, but the delay had done its worst. The ship had drifted out of the line of the cable, the hauling-in was done askew, and it had scarcely begun before the cable parted just inboard of the bow and slipped in a moment overboard to the bottom of the Atlantic. The Great Eastern was then in 1,950 fathom soundings, and 1,180 miles of cable had been paid out. The efforts to grapple and bring up the cable which followed were efforts to accomplish what men might well deem an impossi bility, and yet they were almost successful. Two miles and a half of wire rope, with grapnels at the end, and with swivels at every fifty fathoms of its length to prevent its getting twisted, were lowered, and the Great Eastern drifted slowly over the line of the cable. • After one or two false alarms the strain on the dynamometer, on the morning of the 3d, showed that the cable had been caught, and the process of hauling up recommenced. One half of the rope had been recovered when a swivel broke. The rope had been made to bear a strain of ten tons, and the dynamometer never showed a greater ten sion than four tons, but as one of the swivels rose to the bow the bolt of it was fairly pulled through the collar, and the half which was not drawn up sank down to the cable. It h a d b een shown, however, t h a t the cable could be grappled and it was determined to repeat the attempt to get at it and haul it up. But now a thick fog set in, and all that could be done was to mark the place with a buoy. The Sphinx had already b een some time lost s i g h t of, and, as she never reappea re d, she is supposed to have quietly gone on w ith the sound i ng apparatus to Newfoundland. Th e Terrible and the Great Eastern parted company , and for two days the latter drifted to the e as t . When the Terrible came p thinkingt i n of w t h h i a c t h t h h up to the buoy agai n s h e found it guarded by a little schooner, the Fi rst Fruits, of Bridport, ad e buhooyvemtuso must have the wind,ca to do with the. cable. B ut th e pa t r i o ti sm o f th e a s v p e ite of something a. skipper and all that skill and seamanship could do on board the Great Eastern proved in vain. The cable was grappled, indeed, unmistakably a second and a third time, but on each occasion a swivel on the wire rope gave way, as it had before, and grap nels and miles of rope were lost. The attempt to fish up the cable was not finally abandoned until the wire rope was wholly exhausted, and even an ordinary hawser had been fruitlessly passed into the service. Even if perfect machinery were at hand, it would now, we fear, be too late to lay the Atlan tic Telegraph this year, though sanguine spirits may remind us that after the equinoctial gales are past the month of October is often calm, and further delay must cause the total loss of the portion of the cable which hah been paid out. But it is evident that before a lost end can be recovered, the hauling in machinery of the Great Eastern must be reno vated, and wire ropes must be manufactured stronger than those carried on the last voyage, if not of a strength hitherto unknown. The experience of the voyage shows, however, not only that a cable can be laid, but that if broken it can be grappled for and caught, and therefore can be recovered. So far it is full of encouragement for the future. There is no casualty which cannot be guarded against, and no accident which cannot be repaired. The only dis couraging circumstance connected with the enter prise is the apparent inability of electricians to dis cover a serious fault in a cable before it is paid over the side of the ship. The delay for another year will not be thrown away if it enable them to devise better tests of the excellence of the electric cable before it is submerged, though whether they do so or not we must believe the possibility of an Atlantic Telegraph established, and look forward to the day as certain, even if distant, when England and America will throb with one pulse of life. • POST.—Considered with reference to circum stances, the present policy of Austria is intelligible only in so far as it appears to be based on a misap prehension of their meaning. The Emperor, it would seem, does not despair of conciliating the Italians who are still subject to his sway. It is proposed to pad the Venetian yoke with some municipal freedom. There is nothing original in the expedient ; it has been tried before, and has failed. That, however, which was just possible 18 years ago is now wholly out of the question. Austria was at that period in• a position to adopt measures which might have been accepted, and she was earnestly advised, in words which have been remarkably confirmed by events, that " in ordinary times slow reforms may answer well enough, but in grave circumstances, when the very life of the community is in danger, such homoeo pathic doses are of no avail." The Venetians have long since ceased to respect the Austrian Govern ment, and they can hardly be said to fear it. Nor is it that they have been merely oppressed and held in bondage—they have been trampled upon and wantonly insulted. One instance of Austrian im policy will suffice as a specimen of the whole, and it will be freshly remembered in the presence of the cholera. In 1836, when this terrible disease was rag-. ing at Vienna, the Venetian's entreated the Govern- (From the Illustrated London News.) ment to take steps to protect them from its contagion, and were told that the expense of a sanitary cordon " would exceed that which the mortality would entail on the Imperial Treasury." It is not in the nature of things that such wrongs should be forgotten or forgiven ; and though the Emperor may be acting in good faith, he cannot hope that his sincerity will be appreciated. The people who have seen their country rise up out of its grave will not compromise the aspirations which they legitimately entertain. Venice has heard the pro clamation of her emancipation, and she believes that, in the fullness of time, " Italy will be free from the Alps to the Adriatic." Her course, therefore, is clearly indicated, and for Austria there is really but one way of escape from an entanglenent which paralyses the whole empire. It is idle to attempt to govern the Venetians as the Hungarians may be governed. The conditions are not the same. Hun gary is loyal at heart ; Venetia is on principle irre concilable. The Government of Vienna has shown that it recognises its obligations, but also that it is not competent to fulfil them. This is a position which is rightly regarded as untenable, and the Em peror has resolved to fortify it. It may be assumed that his Majesty has reluctantly postponed the set tlement of his dispute with Prussia, for, after all, it will be found, we apprehend, that any arrangement which is made will be provisional only. Austria would renew the discussion when she can take part in it more conveniently ; and although Herr von Bismarck is about to " utilise" Kiel without further ceremony, it is not impossible that he will be com pelled to a forbearance foreign to his nature, Not withstanding what has been said it is perfectly well understood 'by the German Powers-that their pro ceedings are vigilantly watched. So that it may not be too late for Austria to repair more than one mis take. By whatever non-natural interpretation of international relations Prussia and Austria have come to the conclusion that they are entitled to revise the map of Germany between themselveS, it is cer tain that their assumed authority does not extend beyond the frontiers of the Germanic Confederation. The Venetian question, at all events, concerns other Powers, and it was evident enough before Austria underlined the fact, that the satisfactory adjustment of the German difficulty depended on the settlement of the Italian claim. Indirectly, but coercively, Prussia makes Venetia the pivot of her operations. Hence it is incumbent on Austria to look the inevi table alternative in the face. The case may be put categorically as it now stands. If Austria is able to maintain her position in Germany without war, then it is supererogatory for her to seek to do that which is impracticable in Venetia. On the other hand, if it is probable that eventually the ambition of Prussia will have to be controlled by force, Aus tria has to consider whether she could hold Venetia against the Italian army and Frankfort against the Prussian army at the same time. This is the cal culation on which Herr von Bismarck proceeds, and virtually it is accepted by the Government of Vienna. The Italian Prime Minister is reported to have said that he was persuaded he could convince the Em peror Francis Joseph that it would be for his in terest to surrender Venetia to Italy ; but at present, if the Prussian Premier has failed to prove the ne cessity of the measure, it may be doubted if General La Mamora could realise his sanguine expectation.'' The Austrian apology for submitting to the dicta tion of Prussia is substantially this—that her trea sury was empty, and that she could not count on the neutrality of Italy. It is obvious, therefore, that if her German rights are compromised, and if they are worth preserving, the means necessary to their vindication might be obtained, and further, that the abatement of the Italian obstacle would amount to a pacific settlement of the German quarrel. Prussia would not push the difference to war if Austria were ready to fight, and Italy can well afford to come to terms for the completion of her unity. No doubt Austria may think that it is better to keep Venetia and trust to the chapter of accidents in Germany. That is for her to decide ; but, in coming to a decision, it should be recollected that while her German position is morally impreg nable, Venetia can only be held, as it were, in suf ferance. War between Austria and Prussia on the German question could not he tolerated. The mat ters in dispute would in that event have to be sub mitted to another arbitration, and in the award Austria could not well lose, if she did not gain. Moreover, if the German question presses for a solution, as it undoubtedly does, Venetia would al most certainly be included in any ratification of frontiers thatinight result fromhostilities, or threat , ened hostilities. In short, Austria would not save her Italian dependency by abandoning her German position, and whether other Powers are or are not prepared to intervene for the purpose of maintain ing peace, it is competent to Austria to demand their intervention on that ground, and, in all pro bability, she would have done so before now if Venetia had not stood in the way. RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS. Probate of the will of the Right Hon. George Augustus Frederick Henry Bridgman, Earl of Bradford, of Castle Bromwich, Warwickshire, Weston Hall, Staffordshire, and 43, Belgrave-square, has been granted by her Majesty's Court to his eldest son, heretofore Viscount Newport, P.C., M.P., now the Right Hon. Orlando George Charles Earl of Bradford, one of the surviving executors ; the other sur viving executor, Wm. Lacon Childe, Esq. (formerly M.P. for Wenlock), having renounced. The personalty was sworn under £140,000. Lord Bradford succeeded to the title . in 1825, on the death of his father, the first earl ; was twice married, and died on the 22d March last, at the age of 76. His lordship executed his will in 1849, and added thereto nine codicils, the last dated April, 1860. Thee documents extended to 348 folios. His lordship bequeaths to his relict, the Dowager Countess of Bradford, who was the daughter of fEneas Mackay, Esq., and widow of Sir E. Moncreiffe, Bart., beyond her provision on marriage, an immediate legacy of £l,OOO, and all the plate, books, linen, china, and other effects that belonged to her ladyship be fore his marriage ; he also leaves her ladyship his droitaka, with one carriage and the selection of a pair of horses, and that her ladyship may enjoy, as her residence, the mansion of Castle Bromwich. The diamond necklace, having 44 brilliants, and the diamond ear-rings usually worn by the lady possessing the title of Countess of Brad ford, he leaves in trust, to be held by the person who shall be the first tenant entail of his Warwickshire and Lancashire estates. He devises to his eldest son the estate of Windermere, together with all other his real estates, and appoints his, lordship the present earl residuary legatee of the personalty ; having made a provision for his younger children, which his lordship had increased at various periods by the codicils. By the will there is an annuity of £2OO to the late governess of his daughters ; also legacies and annuities to his domestics. Tho will of the Right Hon. Sir Charles Edward Grey, G.C.H., formerly of Southwick-crescent, Hyde Park, but late of Tunbridge Wells, was proved in the London Court, on the 9th inst., by Edward Grey, Esq., one of the sons, power being reserved to his other sons, Jervoise, Henry, and George, who were also appointed executors, to prove hereafter. Sir Charles died, on the Ist of Juno last, at the age of eighty, a widower, having married, in 1821, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir C. Jervoise, Bart. (she died in 1850). Sir Charles was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1811, and had been Chief Justice at Bengal, and a Com missioner for Canadian affairs, and also Governor of Bar badoes, Trinidad, Jamaica, &c. ; and was M.P. for Tyne mouth, 183841. The will bears date Nov., 1864. Sir Charles, having a power of appointment over £lO,OOO, under settlement and by assignment of the estate of the late Thomas E. Jervoise, he apportions the same amongst his sons and daughters, leaving to his sons Jervoise, John Grey, and Edward Grey, each £15,000; to Henry Row land Ellison Grey, £1,200; George Grey, £2,200; his daughter, Jane Lucy Grey, £5OO ; in addition to any other appointments made to them, and divides the remainder equally amongst them. Bequeaths his books to his four sons, and his furniture, ornaments, and household effects to his four daughters. To his eldest son, Jervoise, he leaves his landed estate at the Blue Mountain, Jamaica, consisting of about 300 acres. The residue of his property he leaves equally amongst all his eight children. The will of Pautia Ralli, Esq., of Connaught-place, West, Hyde Park, was proved in London, on the Ist inst., by Peter Pautia Ralli, Esq., the son and sole executor, who is also residuary legatee. The personalty was sworn .under £400,000. The testator, who died on the 9th ult., executed his will on the Ist of the same mouth. He has made a liberal provision for his daughter, Mrs. Monk, and her children, and has left a legacy of £5,000 to his son-in law, C. J. Monk. There are also some legacies and remem brances to other of his relatives. To his servants in London and at his chateau at Marseilles he has left legacies, and to some annuities ; and to the poor of Bonneveino £lOO. Ho has made the following further charitable bequests :—To the college of the island of Scio, £l,OOO, the interest to be distributed annually in prizes ; £2OO to the church of St. Victor, Scio, and .£lOO to be distributed amongst thelospitals of Scio (his native country); £l,OOO to the University of Athens, and £5OO to the Phileopedeutic Society there ; and directs the sum of £5OO to be divided amongst such of .the charitable institutions in London as his executor may think proper. All legacies to be paid free of duty. The will of John Remington Mills, Esq., of Brookbank, Broadway, Worcester, was proved in the London Court on the 25th ult., by Theophilus Bartlett Cie&lard, Esq., of Cheltenham, the sole executor. The will is dated June 30, 1863, and the testator died on the 6th of May last.

The following extract from an article in Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences may be found of interest at the present moment : Having had an opportunity of inspecting the Great Eastern just before she sailed, and also the ship Caroline, which carried the shore end of the cable, we may, per haps, be able to give an idea of the arrangements that have been adopted for packing the cable, and for facili tating the delicate operation of paying out. This has heretofore proved a very difficult, not to say dangerous, operation, by reason of the tendency which the cable possesses of running into " kinks" when uncoiling—that is, of taking a permanent twist, which dislocates the in ternal arrangement of the cable, forcing the copper wire, which forms the core, into contact with the metallic coat ing that is laid around the insulating material to give strength and durability to the cable. Whenever this ac cident occurs the paying out has to be stopped and the kink cut out ; the ends of the copper wire are then carefully spliced to restore the electrical condition of the cable, and proper precautions are taken to strengthen the junction. To form kinks, it will be understood, is there fore a serious matter, and too much care cannot be taken to avoid them. At an early period of submarine telegraphy, Mr. R. S. Newall, of Gateshead, being prac tically acquainted with the risks attendant on the paying out of telegraph cables from the hold of a ship, hit upon a very simple - way of facilitating their delivery,and in May, 1855, he patented his plan. It consists simply in building 'up a cylinder in the hold of the intended ship to receive the coil of cable, and fixings. cone in the centre of the cylin der. This cone forms a core for the cable, which is care fully coiled around it in horizontal layers, beginning from the outside next the cylinder, and coiling towards the cone. When 'the cable reaches the cone, the " bight " of the cable is taken back to the outside of the coil, and a fresh layer is commenced. Tho cylinder and cone form a secure packing for the coil of cable, which, if once displaced by the tossing of a rough sea, would have to be taken to port, unshipped, and recoiled, before the paying out could be commenced. Now, in the Caroline, the cable, which was made very strong, to resist the abrasion of the rocks was laid in the form of a long oblong coil, supported on the out side by strong uprights, and secured at the eye or middle of the coil by a strong timber framing, so contrived as to offer no points of obstruction to the delivery of the cable as it is drawn up out of the hold. In the Great Eastern, how ever, a somewhat different arrangement has been adopted. Instead of the strong uprights which supported the exterior of the coil in the Caroline, the great ship has been fitted with three enormous water tight iron tanks, into which the cable has been coiled after Mr. Newall's manner. The cable ap pears to have been coiled into the three tanks around a temporary core, which was then removed to give place to a telescopic arrangement of skeleton framework, de signed by Messrs. Canning and Clifford, the engineers engaged In the important work of paying out the cable. These telescopic frames fill the eye of the coil, and pre vent any portion of the cable falling into the eye of the coil and getting entangled during the paying out. Wind lass barrels are placed at the bottom of the framework, and leading down to them through guide pulleys are wire ropes attached to the several sliding or telescopic frames, apparently with the view of drawing down these frames one within the other, as the depth of the coil decreases, "thus forming," as it has been described, "a sinking corn around which the ascending cable might run." This was precisely the arrangement which a jury determined, in the case of Newall v. Elliott, in February, 1864, was an in fringement of Mr. Newall's patent, but which, from being applied at sea beyond the jurisdiction of his patent, was ultimately declared to be no invasion of the inventor's rights. Without going so far as to say that this adapta tion of Mr. Newall's principle will not answer as well as the fixed cone, we may confidently affirm that it is in no respect better, On the contrary, it involves more trouble and expense in coiling and packing the cable, and being but at best a skeleton core, it renders it possible for a loose piece of timber falling within the eye to obstruct the as cending line of cable, and produce a "fault" of some kind that will necessitate the stoppage of the operation of pay ing-out to make good the injury. In a national undertak ing like the laying of the Atlantic telegraph cable, it was highly important that every precaution should have been taken to secure success, even though the managing director of the company had been reduced to'the mortifying posi tion of acknowledging merit in the invention of a rival manufacturer. Had a reasonable propositien been uwle by the company for the use of Mr. Nowall's apparatus, wo have no doubt it would have been heartily received ; or if the determination had been adopted to brave the consequences of a lawsuit, and avowedly to invade the patent, the public would have had nothing to say to that course ; but to jeopardise, to ever so small an extent, a national undertaking, by omitting to use the best known form of apparatus for laying down the submarine telegraph cable, for fear of consequences independent of the enterprise in hand, is altogether indefensible. Besides the outer cylinder and cone which Mr. Newall employs to form an annular space for the reception of the coil, he uses suspended rings for guiding the cable upwards out of the hold to the brake apparatus, which delivers the cable over the stern of the ship into the sea. No guides of this kind were fixed in either vessel at the time of our visit, but since she sailed the Great Eastern has evidently been provided with a con trivance of that kind, for the Times' correspondent, in his communication, dated July 24th, says:—" The circular guards, called crinolines, to be suspended over the cable tanks, and through the centre of which the cable will be payed out, have been fixed." If, therefore, the laying of the cable should prove no mere evanescent success, Mr. Newell must share in the credit which will rightly , belong to those whose united exertions shall have resulted in "a consummation devoutly to be wished."
