TUESDAY, MARCH u, 1852. Caprice too frequently appeers to be the guiding i n _ &tepee in the distribution of the national evidences o f approbation. Othe-wie the inequality of the honoura and emoluments scattered ainong our more eminent citizens would be altogether incomprehensible. It repeatedly happens that individuals 'who have ren dered themselves peculiarly illustrious by their achiervments are either entirely passed over, or re ceive some niggardly reward, wholly incompatible with the value of their services. Sometimes a very different lot, ou the other hand, is reserved for persons of occasionally interior merit, whose deeds are, nevertheless, recompensed with the most extravagant profusion and the most exaggerated munificence. If "vas in This manner that Sir Joao Jaavt,obtained an Earldom, for the victory secured for him through the open violation of his orders by the incomparable Sea Captain to whom the nation since then has, even upon her public monuments, accorded the glory of that triwnph of British valour off Caps St. Vincent. It wai in this manner that Sir --na:rio NELSON obtained merely the Barony of the Nile and of Burnham Thorpe, fo r his then unequalled victory near Abukir—a victory the like of which had never been witnessed at sea, either in ancient or modern times, fought as the battl e was at anchor, and at midnight. It was thus, moreover, that after this wonderful testi mony of his skill as a too/al commander, d li' Lord NEL so was insulted by 1 3 , 415; ap P' second in com mand under Sir HYDE p,, KER on the occasion of th e memorable expeditio n to Copenhagen —where again, by the violation of the orders of his s uperior officer, he carried the national trium phantl y uei ro over a thousand difficulties, receivi ng in therecognition e coronet of his continued and astonishing suc ess of d Viscount. It was thus, in brief, that the most extraordinary of ail - . conquerors , he who heal been wa ll terme d " t he darling her o of England," died on the 21st of October, in 1805, at the close of THE SUN, the greatest of all his great battles, that fought off Cape Trafalgar, with the magnificent re wards already enumerated—while Sir JOHN JERVIS, for the victory which he did not gain, and Lord Howe for another of a very splendid but still inferior character, each respectively received the tribute of an Earldom ! As enigmatical, we doubt not, will it be to our own posterity—the fact that the distinguished conqueror of the province of Scinde is still nothing mor e th a n a G.C.8., while the twin victors of a revolt in the Punjaub are respec tively Viscounts of Lahore and Goojerat. Cer tainly some people are born with gold spoons in their mouths and some with the shabbiest of " Britannia metal." People will marvel much, we doubt not, in times to come, how it came to pass that the twofold commanders on the latter occasion were recompensed thus superbly, while the solitary leader in the former instance was re paid with little better than disdain and misrepresentation. For our own part, we can nowhere perceive that the glorious victories of Meanee and Hyderabad were en titled to less consideration than the lamentable skrimmages at Ramnugger and Chillian wallah ! Yet two men were raised to the peerage for the latter, while the victor and administrator of Scinde is still receiving instalments of what has been nearly his sole reward—ingratitude and vituperation. How it possibly occurred, again, that Lord ELLEN BOROUGH obtained an Earldom and Lord DALHOUSIE a Marquisate has always been beyond the reach of our comprehension —seeing that the last-mentioned has merely shown himself to be a very respectable Governor-General, one of very ordinary attainments, and of very fifth-rate eminence : whereas, the first mentioned revealed, in the same capacity, a genius only second to that displayed by CervE and by HASTINGS. Another melancholy example of the fickleness with which fortune distributes her favours has, it would appear, very recently been afforded — the recipient being one of those same lucky person ages whose names we have already mentioned. Viscount HARDINGE was assuredly not one of those born to the honours of a wooden ladle, after the manner of one of the family of the CHUZZLEWITS. His recent appointment by the Earl of DERBY to the important military post which is inferior only to that of the Commander-in-Chief, the elevated and respon sible office of Master-General of the Ordnance, has naturally enough excited feelings at once of chagrin and amazement. Under any circumstances this appointment could scarcely have been other than matter for surprise, con sidering that so very many officers higher on the lists might reasonably be claimants before Lord HARDINGE for the consideration of their merits and their services by the Noble Earl at the head of the present Govern ment. But, considering a variety of facts which have within the last few hours come to light in reference to this very singular occurrence, the nomination of Vis count HARDINGE as Master-General of the Ordnance under the Derby-Disraeli Administration, must he allowed on all hands to be remarkable, and not only remarkable but indecorous, and not only indecorous but in some respects actually disgraceful. Seeing that our political opinions are diametrically opposed to the majority of those entertained by the various parties implicated in some manner or other in the transaction referred to, we may reasonably claim for our views upon the question at issue the utmost impartiality—looking upon the whole of these proceedings, as we do, in a mood the most unbiassed and dispassionate. The first sentiment of amazement experienced on witnessing the selection of Viscount HARDINGE as the Master-General of the Ordnance is, that he, of all men, should have been chosen by the PRIME MINISTER, aware, as the Earl of DERBY must have been, that he was sixty or seventy lower down the list , than a di s ti ngu i s h e d an d experienced officer, such as the Marquis of LoN DONDERRY. The second and superior source of astonishment at the preference is, however, of still more considerable weight and magnitude. It has fortunately for the cause of justice, but un fortunately for the credit of Lord HARDINGE, been very recently discovered that but a few hours before the vacant office was filled up he himself addressed a communication to the Noble Marquis in the course of which he observed, " If you should accept the Ordnance, and that I can at any moment be of the slightest use from my former connexion with that office, I shall most cordially be ut your service." Such was the conviction even upon the mind of Lord HARDINGE himself, that the fittest claimant for the office was the veteran Marquis of LONDONDERRY ! Yet, almost immediately after thus voluntarily proffering the aid of his experience to the Noble Marquis in the important contingency suggested by himself, Lord HARDINGE, of all men in the military service, quietly and comfortably drops into the ap pointment ! Priority of pr omo ti on an d ever oth er consideration 0 OF consideration is set at nought. The offer of the ad vice above specified is conveniently forgotten. Sixty or seventy names are coolly passed over The claims of Lord COMBERSIERE, and still more, the claims of Lord LONDONDERRY, are alike ignored : and the Lord Viscount HARDINGE figures in the Gazette as the Master-General of the Ordnance. No wonder proceedings as paltry as these should have induced the Marquis of LONDON.' DERRY'S SOD, Viscount SEAHASI subs equently the choice of three appointments in the Royal house hould ! No wonder his son-in-law, the Marquis of BLANDFORD, should scorn in a similar manner to join in any capacity a Cabinet which has thus violated all the usages both of the army and of the Govern ment ! No wonder that the military profession in particular should express, on all hands, the surprise with which its members have observed this rather tricky course of proceeding towards a gallant veteran who might reasonably have looked for somewhat more of respect from the present Master- General of the Ordnance, and from the present leader of her MAJESTY'S Government ! Lamentable, and in a way also disgraceful, as the transaction referred to is, it is, unhappily, by no means exceptional in its character. It is only another illustration of the sic vas non wobis principle : and yet, happier though the fortune of Viscount HARDINGE has proved in this particular instance, we cannot but think that we may prefer to his feelings those experienced at the prf.sent moment by the Mar quis of LONDONDERRY. The Russell Ministry had for a considerable time before its final overthrow been tottering on the nar row and insecure basis on which it was erected. It never, even in its most pslmy days, possessed any real strength, and its existence always depended rather on the forbearance and divisions of its opponents, than on its own inherent power. It wou ld a t any m _ ornent have f a ll en b e f ore a coa li t i on similar to that by which the sweets of offi ce were p l ace d w i t hi n i ts reach. Th e of the utter Protectionists, however, were rather kindly disposed r u towards the Whig Government. Fully aware impossibility of retaining power, even if full authority to an Administration had been through any fortuitousrin circumstance conferred on their leader, kno wing ai too, that the only alternative lay between PEEL was greater they preferred the policreabter similarity of opinion latter, not that there anti ut because they enter on points of general the really thereforeual.iveypathy to the illustrious tained an intense personall author of free trade. party, tolerated,the although they b d e i s d a n id otofapove, e . Vhig Ministry. The same may Whig advocates of progress, w h o, k. „__ .n "uwi g that the Whigs were proverbially t, na.4u,_, e of queez able materials," cons idered that there . w „ better chance of obtaining some instalments of justice at their hands than from either Protec • tionists or Peelites. Thus they got on, receiving t h e support of the 'Manchester school when attacked by the Protectionists, and vice versa, and of both when the Peelites occasionally made an onslaught on th e Ministerial ranks. This was note very dignified course, but still they were in the enjoyment of the substantial benefits of office, and were enabled to exhibit their thorough ap preciation of the innate genius and administrative capacities of the relatives or connexions of the Rua- SELLS , GREYS, or Etaaozs, even to the third or fourth degree. There was a species of "right divine" which entitled all connected by blood or marriage with " the happy family" to a preference over all ocher candidates, no matter i no what might be their qualifications, othe t Phis fortunate was,idvi doubt, exceedingly agreeable duals, but not quite so pleasing to those whose per manent claims were disregarded or set aside in con- LONDON, revival of the rotten boroughs, the absolute reversa; of the policy which prevailed in 1832, had excited the deepest disgust in the country, and Lord JOHN Rus sELL had not the hardihood to brave the storm he had excited. He had ignored " the ballot," repu diated any diminution in the duration of Parliament, and rejected with disdain and contumely every sug gestion for a more equitable distribution of electoral power. Indeed, he not only refused his con sent to every proposition that had been made, but boldly entered upon a retrograde course. His avowed desire was to keep the balance of parties unchanged, rather than to concede a just and equit able measure. He would not interfere with the balance of power, and therefore Dorsetshire should still send as many representatives to Parliament as Middlesex, although the total male population of the former was barely one-tenth of that of the latter, they being respectively 89,204 and 882,823. One man of Dorset was, there fore, equivalent to ten of Middlesex. There surely must, however, be some assignable reason for the apparent anomaly. It could not be on account of the numbers of inhabited houses, which were as 36,138 to 239,362, nor on the wealth. of the inhabitants ; for we find the annual value of property in the one assessed at 799,3421., while in the other it amounts to 7,584,668/. Again we find Bucks and Surrey set down as equiva lents on the opposite sides of the political equation, each returning 11 Members—the male population being 81,158 and 325,037, the inhabited houses 33,232 and 108,822, and the annual ralue of pro- perty 706,265/. and 2,291,1231. respectively. But why multiply examples, when we find twenty-two boroughs, the aggregate population whereof barely exceeds 100,000 individuals, sending forty. two Members to Parliament, and the twenty most important cities and boroughs in the United Kingdom, with an aggregate population of 3,780,000, returning only the same number, 42 repre sentatives. The men of Harwich or Evesham, of Lyme Regis or Thetford, have more than thirty-eight times the political weight and influence belonging to the citizens of :London, Liverpool, Leeds, Man chester, Glasgow, Dublin, or Edinburgh. No wonder, then, that the Bill was distasteful to the injured parties, who saw that their grievances would be perpetuated thereby if it became the law of the land. The Whigs have now fallen—they may learn a lesson of liberality when in opposition ; but if they do not profit by the castigation they have received, they may bid a long farewell to all their greatness—they will never again b e tolerated by the country. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The result of the elections is now entirely known, with the exception of that of Corsica, which, accord ing to the latest accounts, presents no doubt. Four candidates belong to the Opposition. Five elections have to be recomtmenced. Much satisfaction has been occasioned by the decree which convokes the Senate and the Corps Legislatif for the 29th. Whether the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic will, ha the meantime, continue to issue decrees having the force of law may be a question ; but, at all events, from the period of the meeting of the Chambers tha latter will naturally share the re sponsibility of alt acts of the Government. The .ores Ligislatff, however restricted may be its powers of action with regard to projects of law sub mitted to its sanction, yet its sanction will be requi site, while the Ses ate is required to refuse to promul gate such laws as amount to a violation of the funda mental principles f.)f the Constitution. At all events, the country enters under the action of regular law. The Pays mensices the partisans of what is called the fusio❑ of the tvvo branches, that if they go too far their conduct muy be treated as something more heinous than that of au intrigue. Such a project might have been allowable when all parties, seeing the Republic downed to break up, felt justified in laying claim to the inheritance ; hut now that the nation has settled. the power by which it is hence forward to be governed, such hopes are not to be entertained. Marshal Prince , JEROME BONAPARTE, President of the Senate, has ju.,st published a series of regulations relative to that body. The principal clauses of this document have been borrowed from the regulations of the old legislative assemblies. It fixes the different duties of the grand :referendary, the secretary, and other officers. No one cm have an employ in the Senate who is not a born or naturalised Frenchman ; if he is not of age, or if he i.s more than seventy. The state messengers are to be chosen in preference from supe rior officers on the retired list who have been deco rated, and for all 'the other posts officers of different ranks will have th,e preference. It is said that most of the functionari e.s and inferior employes of the old Chamber of Peers.; have received appointments in the Senate.

The evil, too, rather increased than diminished. Day by day the party became more exclusive, until they con summated their own ruin, by getting rid of incomparably their ablest colleague—the most doughty champion of their party, but who was re garded with jealousy as being an interloper not in any degree connected with either of the tria juncta in will—the GREYS ! the RUSSELLS ! ! or the ELLIors ! !! Lord PALMERSTON was, however, dismissed on the most frivolous and insufficient pretences ; and from that moment the fate of the Ministry was sealed. It only remained in office by sufferance. There were many points on which they must neces sarily have been defeated. It were difficult to say whether the colonies or the national finances hung most heavily on the Ministerial conscience, or whether the gross and palpable job brought forward under the euphonious designation of a " New Reform Bill" would prove the instrument of their destruction. Their only choice was as to the manner of their death. Mr. ADDERLEY, like an avenging Nemesis, was pur suing " the GREY iniquity," while men of all classes and parties concurred in censuring the imbecility, perversity, and unparalleled fiscal injustice of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. The Reform Bill (!) was, however, possibly, the most formidable of any, and not the less so, because they had lived during the preceding session solely on the expectations excited by the Ministerial hints of something good in store for the people. It was to confirm the party in power. Lord Jortx might continue Premier for many years on the force of the character to be thereby acquired. It would cover a multitude of sins, and even shelter Sir CHARLES WOOD himself from the innumerable darts and arrows by which he would in evitably be assailed. These pleasing but illusory anticipations were, however, scattered to the winds when the dismayed Minister heard the reverberation of the shouts of combined derision and indignation with which the melancholy abortion was hailed by men of all classes, creeds, and parties, throughout the length and breadth of the land. His heart for the first time failed ; he at length discovered the certainty of his downfall, and sought for the easiest and softest spot on which to fall. The opportunity was not long wanting ; his injured colleague objected to a single word in a motion which had been brought forward, and with affected petulance, but really well-considered purpose, Lord JOHN RUSSELL resigned the reins o power. But why ? Surely the defeat was not of such vital importance as to occasion the disso lution of the Cabinet. They had frequently sustained more ignominious discomfitures, and treated them with the utmost nonchalance. Why, then, should they magnify the gentle and mild castigation so properly administered by the ex-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs into a death-wound ? Simply because the true character of the quasi-Re form Bill had been discovered. The contemplated SPAIN Oar necounfs from are of the 3d inst. The Espana, alluding to a report published in the Epoca, of the resignation of Lord HOWDEN, says : " The Epoca announces that Lord Howden has given in his resignation as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in this city. A change of Cabinet hav ing taken place in England, there would be nothing strange in such a proceeding, if we remember that, on the fall of Lord Palmerston, Lord Howden offered his resignation. In any case we believe that the resignation of the Minister of England would be generally regretted. The amenity of his conduct, and the excellent qualities which he possesses have obtained him many friends." The Heraldo on the same subject says : " Several journals have announced that the Am bassador of her Britannic Majesty in this city has sent his resignation to London in consequence of the change of Cabinet, which has just taken place. Although such a proceeding is usual in diplomacy, and all the representatives of the Queen of England abroad, give in their resignations not only when there is a total change of Cabinet, but when the Minister on whom they depend is changed, this step has not yet been taken, inasmuch as Lord Howden does not yet know officially the nomination of the new Minister of Foreign Affairs. Nevertheless, resignations are not al ways accepted ; and not many years ago we saw a Mi nisterial change in England without any one of the di plomatic agents b e i ng changed. We should be very glad if the same fact should now occur as regards Spain. Whatever may be the foreign policy which Lord Derby proposes to follow, we believe it difficult for him to find a better representative for Spain than Lord Howden, or one more acquainted with our customs and ideas, or more generally respected by all parties; and conse quently better qualified to draw closer ties of friendship, which, in our opinion, are alike advantageous to both countries."

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 8,000 to 9,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, and 500 American and 1,000 Surat on speculation. The market closed tamely. The sales comprised 500 Pernam and Maranham, at sid. to Sid.• 200 Bahia, at sid. t o 6hd. ; 700 Egyptian, at bid. to 9d.; 2,000 Surat, at 3d. to 4kd.; 150 Sea Island, at Is. 2d. to ls. lOid.; and the re mainder American.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business was done with little variation in prices. The letters and papers by the American mail have been delivered this morning. The Stock Market was without particular change. A statement of the exports of bullion from New York, last year, makes the amount 43,723,209 dollars, or rather more than was received from California. The shipments of Cotton and Breadstuffs were, during the week to the 20th ult., rather large. An immense company was being formed by a combination of several undertakings, and the Bill was expected to pass the Legislature of Maryland. This "monster" corporation, as its opponents termed it, is to be formed by the consolidation of seven char tered companies, as follows:—The " Cumberland Coal and Iron Company," the " People's Company," the " Preston Company," the " Washington Company," the " Maryland Mining Company," the " Astor Company," and " the Buena Vista Company," under the name of the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company. This amended charter increases the capital stock to 5,000,000 dollars, and enables the company to hold 12,000 acres of land. The design is to purchase, and unite and work, under one organization, the branch railroads, the boats, vessels, and coal lands, and the en tire machinery of operations until its delivery into the hands of the purchaser, so that the mines can be worked efficiently and profitably. A section of the charter re quires the company to send to market 200,000 tons of coal annually, under penalty of forfeiture of charter. Their plan of operations, however, contemplates the mining of 500,000 to 1,000,000 tons per annum. The Bill to establish free banks in Pennsylvania had been throws out. The Mexican accounts given in the American papers state that a Bill bad been read twice in Congress for a railroad from Mexico to Vera Cruz. The country seemed to bo unusually quiet. The dates are Jan. 31 from the city of Mexico. Bermuda advices of the 12th ult. state that the salt crop of Turk's Island was likely to be very good. Cape Hayden advices mention that, owing to the holidays and the rainy weather, but little wa s d o i ng up to the 6th ult., and not mach coffee was coming in. The market price for the article was steady. Logwood abundant. There is a very quiescent tone in business circles in the City, and an indisposition to enter into new engage ments until it is seen whether Parliament will be dis solved forthwith. The English Stock Market has been very steady and there is more firmness in the price for money. Con sols have been quoted 974 to i for Transfer, and are now 97k for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quar ter per Cents. have been 994 to -I, and the Three per Cents., 98k to k. Bank Stock has risen again, being 219 to 220. In South Sea Stock there has been a bargain at 1071. East India Bonds are 725. premium, but nothing has been done in Exchequer -bills. Consols for April are 971 Foreign Securities have been very quiet, and the speculation in them has quite gone off. Mexican have been 32i to 33, Peruvian Deferred 55, and Equador 5. With respect to the Mexican Indemnity we hear that an arrangement of a modified and more favour able character has been provisionally entered into with Messrs. Baring's, and will be submitted to the meeting to-morrow, and if report speak truly, that emi nent firm has consented to reduce the commission that was to have been:charged. Sardinian Stock is sup ported at 894 to uoi. Spanish Five per Cents. are nomi nally 24 to 25k, and the Three per Cents. 414 to 424. The New Deferred have been 18i to 19. Venezuela Stock keeps up very fairly, being at 42 to 43. French Five per Cents. are 103 with the exchange at 25 35. Dutch Four per Cents, have been at 92i. In Railway Shares there is much less doing, and they remain generally at about the previous rates. The foreign lines have been quite nominal. mining shares have been dull, but at about former prices. Peninsular and O r i enta l S team support the rise of yesterday. Several bargains have been entered into in Joint-Stock Bank shares, and at full prices.

In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives, on the 6th, the treaty of commerce and navigation with England was passed. The Prince DE LIGNE returned to Brussels three days ago, from his mission to Berlin and Vienna. The Prince is now in Paris. The Count DE bIONTALEMBERT arrived in Brussels on Friday. The Observateur of Brussels states that M. BER RYER and M. ODILON BARROT will go to that city to defend the Bulletin Francais. The Paris correspondent of the Independance of Brussels states that Count DE MORNY is about to place himself at the head of an extensive company for making loans on mortgage. SWITZERLAND. The Indipenclance of Berne announces that the difficulties between the French Government and the Swiss Confederation have been arranged for the present. The Secretary of the French Legation at Berne has arrived in Paris. TURKEY. By accounts from Constantinople o f the 15th ult. ,he Holy Land question may fairly be announced as settled. It is naturally wrapped up in as much mys tery as possible. From what I hear, both the Porte and the French Minister claim the victory as their own. Nothing will publicly transpire in time for this opportunity, and to hazard conjectures would be idle ; it appears, however, that the basis of the arrangement is on the treaty of 1760, in which case it will excite a general discontent among the Christian subjects of the empire, and Russia will put forth, you may rest assured, the strength of her m i g h ty i n fl uence to fo ment the feeling of dissatisfaction. No man can deny the power of Russia over the Greek clergy, who are persuaded that the Emperor will one day reign over this country to the glory of th e i r own pecu li ar sec t. They look to him as their master and lord. The pre ponderating influence thus exercised over this class of men is, politically speaking, fraught with peril, because the clergy in their turn have an immense hold over the superstitious end susceptible minds of their ignorant flocks, whose vast numbers will render them dangerous should they ever be roused into action. The Sublime Porte must, of course, exert itself strenuously to maintain its hold over its Christian subjects. This it can do when it can act independently w ith o ut the in tervention of foreign council s; w h ereas , a tt ac h e d as it is to the chariot of state, drawn by foreign horses, each pulling m the directi on o f hi s own co untry, progress is impossible, and it cannot reach its goal. In s the P o rt e w ill no doubt act a rather than those of European Powers. Leave the Turks s i acting tßt o t themselvesindependently, ants a and tastes of its own subjects, much as possible, and they will do well enough, but interfere with them, and they can do nothing. If foreign influence go on as it has done for the last 15 years, Turkey must of necessity ultimately perish, and her true friends cannot too soon change for a better system the one which is now hur rying her to perdition. It will be remembered that a couple of months back a misunderstanding took place between the British Consul-General at Belgrade and the Servian authorities. Matters have now been accommodated by a diplomatic arrangement effected here. In order to clear up any differences that may still exist, Sir STRATFORD CANNING has just charged Mr. ALLISON, secretary to the embassy, to proceed to Belgrade end bring ab ou t t h e reconc ili a ti on . Mr. ALLI S ON left this for th e l atter place three d ays since. The question of the ad opt i on o f th e T anz imat in Egypt is once more on the tapis, and the new com plications which envelop e i t are menacing to the friendly relations between the SULTAN and his vassal. The heavy tax imposed upon all the corporations in the whole extent of the Ottoman empire has excited general discontent, and unless a modification takes place, I doubt if the people will submit to the pay ment thereof. q uits this for Tu n i s next T h urs d ay .

DE BEAUVOIR. This was an appeal from an order of the Vice-Cl3O- cellor of England, by which his Honour allowe d s de murrer raised by the respondent to a bill filed b y tb° appellant for an account of the testator's personal estate. The Rev. Peter de Beauvoir, the testator, died in the course of the month of September, 1821, and the first tenants for life under his will, Edward Benyon and Charles Benyon, having already died without issue, Mrs. Mary M'Dougall became his next of kin, and was so at the time of his death. This lady subsequently mar ried the appellant, then Mr. John Edmond Brown (af; terwards Sir John E. Brown), who has since assUniea the name of De Beauvoir, and is her personal repre sentative. Upon the death of the testator, the exectr tors, the present res p onde nt and Ma rtin Whist', dull, proved his will, and entered into possession of the p ersonal estate and effects to a very large amount, out of which they paid the legacies given by the will and codicils, th n e debts, and the funeral and testamentary expenses. O the sth of March, 1846 , the appellant filed his bill 0 the personal representative of his late wife, formerly Mary M`Dougall, who, he urged, was absolutely entitled to all the personal estate and effects affected by certei,s 11 final limitations in the will in favour of the testator right heirs in remainder expectant. To that bill the respondent demurred for want of equity ; and the order of the Vice- Chancellor of England, allowing murrer, was made on the 21st of April, 1846 . with The appeal was opened yesterday by Dlr. Bolt, whom is Mr. Malins; and Mr. Bethell this morning proceeded with his reply on behalf of the respondents. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (AY.)
