Windham Henry-Wynd ham-Quin, of Dunraven Castle, near Bridgend, Glamorganshire, and Clearwell Court, Gloucester shire, was proved in the London Court, onNov. 21, by the executors and trustees—namely, Captain H. Galway, R.N. ; Gwinnet Tyler, Esq., of Mount Gornos, Cardigan ; and John H. Dighton, Esq., of Newland, Gloucestershire. Captain Galway and Mr. Tyler, together with the wife, are appointed guardians of the children. The personalty was sworn under £30,000. The testator has bequeathed to each of his executors a legacy of £lOO. To his wife an immediate legacy of £l,OOO, and the linen, china, horses, carriages, absolutely, and the use and enjoyment of the furniture, books, plate, and pictures for her life, which, after her decease, he leaves to his eldest son ; he also leaves to his wife, as a residence, the mansion of Clearwell, with £l,OOO a year. He possessed an interest in the Clearwell estate to the extent of £lB,OOO and upwards ; the surplus arising there from devolves to his eldest son. His personal estate he directs to be sold, and the proceeds invested in the purchase of a freehold estate for the benefit of his eldest son, Windham Henry Wyndham-Quin, and his issue male. He devises all his real estates to trustees, to settle the same to the like uses cor responding with the other settled estates ; and charges his estates, real and personal, with an an- Iluity of £2OO to his daughter Caroline, and with £lO,OOO to each of his younger children. A sum of £ l O,OOO, secured by policies on the life of his mother, the Countess Dowager Dunraven, under his Marriage settlement, he leaves, after the decease of his wife, to his sons and their male issue. The will of Sir Thomas Whelan, Kt., Alderman of Dublin, late of Elmville, Harold's Cross, was proved in the London Court by his relict, Lady 'Whelan. Sir Thomas had held the distinguished offices of High Sheriff and Lord Mayor of Dublin. He died on the 16th of October, at the age of 65, having executed his will in June, 1859, and a codicil April, 1864. By the will he had left the whole of his property, real and personal, to his wife abso lutely ; but by the codicil he bequeaths, on the decease of his wife, all his land and house property in the town of Carlow to his grandson Clement John, son of George and Mary Davis, of Kildare, on his attaining 21; but should he die previously thereto, then he bequeaths the same to his grandson George Edward Davis. Charitable bequests are left by the following tes tators—narnely, Augustus Shakspear Oliver Massen, Esq., of Hill-street, Berkeley-square, £5OO to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. "---Miss Mary Catherine Garnett, of Hardwicke Tornsham, Devon, has bequeathed to the four fol lowing institutions, the Middlesex Hospital, Cancer hospital, Consumption Hospital, Brompton, and the Idiot's Asylum, each £lOO ; and to the Home Mission, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the Temporary Home for Lost and Starvin g Dogs, each £3o.—Mr. Jas. Breed, farmer, of Sarrat-green, Rickmansworth, Herts, has left several small bequests for religious purposes, chiefly among the Baptists :—Surgeons' College, Baptist Foreign Missions, Home Mission, County Town's Mission, Building Fund, Harrow Chapel, Chenies Chapel, to each £5O ; the chapels at Rickmansworth, Sarratt green, and Chipperfield, each 19 gs., and a like sum to the Baptist Tract Society and the Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews ; to the British and Foreign Bible Society, Rescue Society, London, and the Orphan Working School, each £5O. The residue of his property is to be devoted to charitable purposes, and to such society or insti tution as the executors may think proper, four years after the testator's death. IVIONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLocx. More quietude has prevailed in the discount, and business has been negotiated on rather easier terins. there is, however, no quotable change, 6 per cent. being the general rate for three months' bills. he market is in a satisfactory position owing to the retur n of notes and coin from various parts of the country, but, as trade is so vigorous, there is not any probability of an important relaxation. Gold, amounting to £15,000, was taken from the 13 auk yesterday. A decline of id. had taken place the price of Mexican dollars. Those brought by the West India steamer have been sold at 59p. Per ounce. Proposals have been issued for the completion and consolidation of the entire capital of the Atlan tic and Great Western Railway--an enterprise Which has attracted constantly increasing attention d uring the past three or four years from its great extent, the difficult circumstances under which it h as been completed, and the peculiarities of the region through which it passes. The entire length of the line is 607 miles (of which 100 have yet to be opened), and it commands not only the important traffic of the West, but also that of th e oil districts, the discovery of which occurred shortly after the commencement of the under taking. The total capital will be £12,000,000, hair in shares and half in 7 per cent. bonds, of W hich the whole have been issued, with the excep tion. of £2,771,600 now offered (with a half-year's dividend payable on the 15th of January), at the Price of 80, instalments extending to the middle of February. The net cost, therefore, will be 7 4. It is stated that to meet the interest on all the bonds and likewise all working expenses a gross annual receipt of $6,442,000 will be required, and that the present income is at the rate of $8,194,761, which is estimated on the opening of the whole line to be raised to $10,000,000. The bonds are for 25 years, with quarterly coupons pay able, free of income-tax, in London or New York, in gold. A feature of the railway is that it has a uniform 6-feet gauge throughout, and therefore for t he first time in Western travel removes the neces sity for changes of carriage and constant haulage of goods. At the same time it is satisfactory to t oe that the proceeds of th e presen t i ssue tore required not for the completion of the line, but r e a ,_Y Off loans long since contracted on thi s s id e A t uat purpose.

After the colliers had left work on Tuesday, the engineer, W. Bates; a blacksmith's striker, Ephraim Dovey ; and a fireman, W. Cooper, proceeded to affix new conducting rods, and in order to fix the tops of the rods it was deemed necessary to cover the pit shaft. This probably led to an accumulation of gag is the pit, but the possibility of such a result does not seem to have occurred to the men, who, on descending the shaft in a "bowk," a sort of large bucket, in order to see that the rods were right in the shaft, took with them candles instead of lamps. After they had been down about ten minutes a cry from one of them was heard, and in about half a minute it was observed that the shaft was on fire. The "bowk" was rapidly drawn up, but it seems that no body took the trouble to look into it, although three men had gone down alive in it. The " bowk" was drawn aside, and the people about proceeded to smother the fire in the shaft. In about an hour a man went to the side of the " bowk," and found therein the dead bodies of Bates and Dovey. The presumption is that the third man was blown out of the "bowk" by the explosion. The fire raged in the pit all night, but it was hoped that the accumulation of water would enable the men to get at Cooper's body. Mr. Wynn, Government inspector, has been informed of the circumstance, and no doubt there will be a strict inquiry into the matter. LEECH'S SUCCESSOR.—We are informed, says the Guardiqn, that the sketches in Punch signed "G. B. M.' are the production, not of a young lady at Manchester, but of a young artist, a native of Tisbury, Wilts, Mr. G. B. Gaddarl— The Reader. LEIGH HUNT.—Messrs. Roberts Brothers, of Boston, have in the press a hitherto unpublished work, by Leigh Hunt, entitled, " The Book of the Sonnet." It con sists of a critical and historical introduction on sonnet writing, with copious extracts and reviews of those Italian and English poets, from the earliest almost to the present time, who have excelled in this kind of composition. To give to the book completeness, Mr. S. Adams Lee, of Philadelphia, a correspondent of Hunt's, and the editor of the American edition of his poetical works, will add a critical essay upon the American sonnet writers. G. W. GORDON'S INSURANCES.—We have heard with satisfaction that the directors of the Star Insurance Company, with whom the life of the late Mr. Gordon was insured for £2,500, have unanimously resolved to pay over the amount at once to his widow. The significance of this fact is obvious. The policy would naturally become void in the case of a man executed as a felon ; but the directors of the Star Company have, as we aro informed, justly de cided that Mr. Gordon's case is simply that of a man un lawfully slain. The directors deserve the higloßt credit for thin courno of a otion.—NorningAper. THE SUN S EUNDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBEIt 2, 1565._ SHARE MARKETS.—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.) BENTLEY V. BENTLEY AND PAY. This was a petition praying for dissolution of marriage, presented by the husband. The charges in the petition were denied by both respondent and co-respondent. The marriage having been proved, several wit nessses were examined to show the terms on which the parties lived after marriage. This portion of the case having been disposed of, the following witnesses were called to establish the other allega tions in the petition. George Stanton, of the S division of police, said he knew the petitioner, Mr. Bentley; he lived at New Orchard-street, Kentish-town. In March, 1859, he was called to his house by the petitioner, who said he thought there was somebody iu the house who had no right to be there. On going upstairs they found the bedroom locked, which they broke open, and found a man who gave the name of Percival. Mr. Bent ley gave him in charge for being in his house for an unlawful purpose, but shortly after the charge was entered he was bailed out. The matter did not proceed. He afterwards identified Percival as the co-respondent Pays. Caroline Kennard, a domestic in the service of Mrs. Reed, at Gravesend—She recollected a Jady coming there in 1860, and taking apartments. A gentleman afterwards joined the lady. They gave the name of Mr. and Mrs. Pay. They were there the following season, 1864. She recollected Mrs. Pay telling her on the occasion of her absenting herself for a short time that she was going to Brighton to look after the business of her aunt. Matthew Reed, the son of the lady keeping the house at Gravesend, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Louisa Gumprell said—she was in the service of Mr. and Mr. Bentley while they resided in Brighton. Mr. Bentley always treated his wife with the greatest kindness, but she was a very irritable person. She noticed on one occasion, after the absence of Mrs. Bentley, her luggage, on her return, had the portion of a ticket with Gravesend printed on it. Her mistress told her not to mention the circumstance to any one. She had seen Mrs. Bentley throw the cruets at her husband. On one occasion she told her she had set fire to the bed in which Mr. Bentley was asleep. She never recolleited seeing Mrs. Bentley with a black eye. There was no evidence for the defence, and the jury found a verdict for the petitioner on all the issues. Decree nisi, with costs against the co-respondent Pay. .. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MARLBOROITGH STREET. SINGULAR CASE.— A female, who gave the name of Arwood, but afterwards said her real name was Betty Thompson Montague, was charged before Mr. Knox with disorderly conduct. The defendant's appearance was wild and singular. Her hair was in a dishevelled state, and she was wearing a policeman's old coat, having no other garments when taken into custody but a red petticoat and crinoline. Wood, 80 C, found the defendant lying on the stairs of a house in Whitcomb-street, and, as she had been very disorderly all the previous afternoon, he took her in the belief that she was not in her right mind. The defendant, who spoke in an under tone, said she came from Tunbridge-wells, that she was married when she was 13, and that her husband, Sir Robert or Sir Thomas (here she checked herself) died, and she married again, her second husband residing at Clapham. She had plenty of money coming under her first husband's will, of which she had a copy. Mr. Knox said it was not a case for punishment. The defendant was either sane or insane. He was sure she could not be allowed to go about in the way she had bees doing, and if she was insane then she must be taken care of. Mr. Knox subsequently sent for Mr. Bowman, relieving officer of St. Martin's, and requested him to take charge of the defendant, with the view of having her state of mind inquired into, and she was taken shortly afterwards to the workhouse. AMERICA. The following :appeared in our third edition of last evening : (Per the Cuba, via Roche's Point.) NEW Yon.; Nov. 23 (Evening), The New York Herald says that the Government must demand the crew of the Shenandoah from England, under the Extradition Treaty. The other papers are silent on the subject. The Washington Star says that the movement of Federal cavalry to Texas is not caused by any hostile feeling of the United States to - wards Maximilian, but be cause cavalry are much more serviceable in Texas than infantry. General Weitzel has superseded General Steel in the command in Texas. Steel's removal is reported to have been caused by his being intimate with the Imperial officers along the Mexi can frontier. The New York Times states that General Logan's ap pointment as Minister to the Republic was made in conse quence of Maximilian's decree declaring the Republicans outlaws, against which the United States will protest. The Commander-in-Chief in Canada, having had under consideration the possibility of Fenian raids during the Winter, has called out six companies of volunteers, and ordered all volunteers to complete their number and hold themselves ready for active service. The ship Harry West, which left New Orleans for Liverpool, with 3,000 bales of cotton, was burned at sea. The crew 'were saved. NEW YORK, Nov. 21 (Evening.) Several papers deny that the Government will issue another funding loan. The Secretary of the Navy has ordered the commanders of the Philadelphia, Boston, and Portsmouth navy yards to reduce the number of the employes one-half.

Two thousand persons were present, including the naval and military official notabilities. The Florida Convention has adjourned, after abolishing slavery, annulling the secession ordinance, repudiating the rebel debt, and providing for receiving the testimony of colpured persons. The Mississippi Assembly has passed a bill permitting negro testimony in certain cases. General Howard reports that the negroes and loyal whites throughout the South distrust their ability to main tain their rights without the presence of the Federal troops. A national republican bill will be presented to Congress, providing for the organization and government of the re bellious States, by appointing Governors, with power to call conventions to frame constitutions which, being ap proved by Congress, the reconstructed States will be ad mitted by special act. . _ . Mr. Schuyler Colfax, the prominent candidate for the Speakership of . the House of Representatives, made a speech opposing the immediate admission of the Southern representatives to Congress. _ General Logan has not yet announced the acceptance of the mission to the Mexican Republic. Mr. Browning has accepted the Secretaryship of the L egation. NEW YORK, Nov. 23 (Evening). The liberation of tho crew of the Shenandoah is stated to have caused a hostile feeling towards England in Wash ington. All the Federal cavalry regiments except one have been ordered to San Antonio, Texas. The New York press assert that the Emperor Maximi lian has ordered all troops to concentrate at Vera Cruz, the city of Mexico, and San Luis Potosi, and await reinforce ments.

DASTARDLY ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.—.IOhII Mallott, a seaman, aged 47, No. 33, Upper John-street, v S i t o o l p e n n e t y l y , a w s a s s a ü b l r t o i n u g g h u t h b r i e s f t o o r p e h M e r r . Gion, a Partridge,po chargedpolice-constable. ns t a wi bl t h e Soon after one o'clock this morning the prisoner, who was intoxicated, met the constable, who was on duty in Bancroft-place, Mile-end, and asked him where he could obtain some grog, to which Ginn replied there was none to be had at that time of the morning, and that all the public houses were closed. The prisoner insisted on having some liquor, followed the constable on his beat, and annoyed him, and at last said ho would serve him out and break his head if he did not find some grog. The policeman told the prisoner to leave him, and said if he did not he would lock him up. The prisoner then commenced a most furious and savage attack on the police constable, struck him and kicked him, and then put his legs behind the constable's legs and threw him heavily on the ground. The sailor fell on the top of the constable, forced his knees into his chest, and made an attempt to strangle him. A young man, named James Smith, a baker, of No. 18, Bancroft-place, hearing the policeman's cries and shouts for help, left the bakehouse in which he was engaged and wont to his assistance. Ho found the prisoner trying to choke the constable, and pulled him off his body. The prisoner then struck Smith, whoproved more than a match for him, and he was secured. The prisoner, in defence, said —I was lost in drink. his never happened before. Mr. Pa rtridge—Drunkenness is no excuse. You have seriously injured that constable, and you made an attempt to strangle him. You aro sentenced to two months' im prisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. THE COMMON LODGING HOUSES ACT.—Frederick John son, a seaman's boarding-house keeper, was charged by Inspector Hunt of the A division with keeping a common lodging-house, not registered, in Ratcliff-highway. A police sergeant, named Enoch Fulford, saw five sea men in one room of the prisoner's house, and Johnson ad mitted they paid him 15s, per week each. The drainage of the house was bad, and it could not be registered until that was remedied. The prisoner formerly kept a regis tered house, and knew the law well.

James Ladd an old-fashioned charioteer, said that at one o'clock that morning his cab was hired by the defen dant in the Haymarket, to convey himself and two ladies to Stanley-street, Brompton. When he got there.he re fused to pay him his fare, knocked him down three times, and tore his coat all to pieces. (Coat produced.) Mr. Selfe—Was it whole when you drove him ? Cabman—Yes it was, your worship. Mr. Selfe—Then it is very much damaged now. What will it take to set it all right again. Cabman—About 55., your worship. - - Mr. Selfe—Come now, that's moderate enough, and how much for the three knocks down ? Cabman— I leave that entirely to you. I gave him no provocation of any sort, and I only asked them a shilling fare. Mr. Selfe (to defendant) —What have you to say to this ? Defendant—Well, really, as far as the cab fare goes and that I have nothing to say ; but he took a great liberty— he put his hand on me, which he certainly, I should think was not justified in doing. Mr. Selfe—What aro you ? Defendant—l a►n a clerk. Mr. Selfe—Why you have described yourself on the police-sheet as a sweep; there is a great deal of difference between a sweep and a clerk ? Defendant— Well, I'm clerk to my aunt, and she's a sweep. 1 conduct her business. Mr. Selfe—And have knocked down this cabman three times, he says. Defendant - Is it possible to suppose I could do that ? Mr. Selfe—l can see no impossibility about it, and he swears it. John Cross, 418 —I heard some words, and wont to the spot at half-past two this morning. I saw defendant knock the cabman dcwn two or three times. Defendant was drunk. Mr. Selfe—No 77, what do you say, Mr. head? Come, let's see. There's ss. for being drunk, is. the fare, three knocks down—what shall we say for them? ss. each; ss. the costs. Defendant--That is a great deal of money, your wor ship. Mr. Selfe—l think not. I don't think it could be done, at a lower price. Defendant—l am quite willing to make compensation. Mr. Selfe—Well, then, we'll say ss. to the Queen and 20s. to the cabman ; and if you don't do that, you will go for 7 days to prison. Defendant—l'll pay it, your worship. Upon doing this he was discharged.

Deceased was seen in Rickmansworth the preceding night at half past ten. An inquest was hold the same afternoon before Mr. Lowe, the Liberty Coroner, when a verdict of accidental death was recorded.

HON. CALEB CUSHING.—This gentleman, the object of whose visit to 'Europe has caused much discussion, sailed from New York on the 13th inst. The Springfield Republican asserts that he is sent by the United States Government, " with reference to a preposterous claim of five million dollars damages set up by the Hudson Bay Company for the loss of their hunting grounds and the rendering useless of th eir stations by the settlement and civilisation of Oregon and Washington Territories by the enterprising Yankees. The claim has been referred to a commission to examine and adjudicate, and Mr. CUSHING is employed to present the evidence against it, and show up the weakness and wickedness of that by which it is sustained." We have reason to repeat our assertion of last week that Mr. Cum's° comes to this country on pro fessional and not political business. The Hon. H. H. Emmons of Detroit, one of the most distinguished legal authorities on railway subjects in the Western States, and President of the Great Western Railway of Canada, are sojourning for a few weeks at Wood's Family Hotel, Frankfort-on-the-Maine. Their visit to the Continent is in connection with the Detroit and Milwaukie Railroad. Dr. Stern, :President. of Amherst College, was last week at Geneva. It is his intention to visit Rome and the Holy Land before his return to America. The Late Mr• Cobden. The Hon. Charles Sumner, as chairman of the late Republican Convention in Massachusetts, has addressed the following letter to Mrs. Cobden : " Boston, Oct. 5, 1865. "My dear Madam,—l have been charged by the Convention of the Republicans of Massachusetts, over which I had the honour of presiding, to com municate_ to you resolutions unanimously adopted by them expressing their grateful regard for the memory of your late husband, .and their sympathy with you in your bereavement. " KnoNl;ing Mr. Cobden personally as I did for many years, a n d correspon di ng i n ti ma t e l y w ith hi m on public ques ti ons, I confess a sense of personal loss beyond even that of my fellow-citizens. lie was the good friend of my country, and he was my own private friend. Therefore, in making this communication, I desire to express my own indivi dual grief. t 4 His lamented death has caused a chasm not only in his own home and country, but here in the United States. We all miss him and mourn him. ; He was a wise and good man. Though an Englishman by birth, his heart and all his faculties were given to mankind, knowing well that the wel fare and true glory of his own great country were best assured by such a dedication. _ . " Hoping that you may be consoled in your great sorrow, and that your children may be blessed in life, I ask you to accept the assurance of respect with which I have the honour to be, dear madam, your very faithful servant, " CHARLES SUMNER."
