The will of George Lenox Conyngham, Esq., 108, Eaton-square, l'im!ico, was proved in the London Court, on the 9th ult ,by his son-in law, the Right Hon. Hayes St. Leger, Viscount Done raile ; Thomas G. Staveley, of the Foreign Office, and Henry A. Bathurst, Esq., of Chapel-street, llelgrave-square, the joint acting executors. The personalty was sworn under £35,000. Mr. Conyng ham was Chief Clerk of the Foreign Office, which appointment he had held for nearly fifty years. His will bears date Nov. 2, 1866, and he died, rather suddenly, on the 26th of the same month. He has bequeathed the whole of his property, real and personal, to his wife, Elizabeth Emmet Lenox Conyngham, absolutely. The will of William Peters, Esq., of Wouldham hall, Kent, was proved in the London Court by two sons of the deceased and Mr. Stephen IL King, solicitor, Maidstone, the executors. The personalty was sworn under £BO,OOO. The testator died possessed of the Wouldham Hall estate and manor, in Kent, and of valuable leasehold estates in Surrey. He leaves to his widow £5OO a year and the residence and grounds of Wouldham Hall ; to each of his daughters he leaves £5OO a year and a legacy of £6,000 ; to his son William £5OO a year ; and he bequeaths the residue of his property, real and personal, together with the goodwill of his business, to his sons Joseph, Edwin, and Henry. Mr. Peters had been very successful in trade as a limeburner. lie .liodJannary 27, 18 67, at the age of 73. The following is the Hypo . pointed to consider the designs fcif• - aew lAtiolsl - Gallery. It is addressed to Lord xan Manners, First Commissioner of her 'Majesty's Works and Public Buildings : " ;Nly Lord ; —We have the honour, in accordance with the instt uctions conveyed in your Lordzhip's letter of the 17th ult., to submit the following Report on the several designs for the National Gallery sent in by the competing architects. " Our first step was to obtain clear and definite instructions as to our duties, and we subsequently inquired whether, in the event of our considering it unadVisable to recommend any one of the competing designs for execution, it was expected that we should specify which of the designs appears to exhibit the greatest amount of comi.arative merit. " Our next object in examining these designs was to ascertain whether the competitors had in every respect complied with the instructions of the Office of Works conveyed to them in the circular dated the 15th of February, 1866, and with this view we obtained, through your Lordship, the valuable assis tance of Mr. IV. J. Gardiner, from whose report it appears, with one or two exceptions of minor detail, the instructions have been strictly adhered to. " We have minutely examined the several designs prepared under the two alternatives proposed in the circular above referred to, keeping carefully in view the relative importance of interior arrangement and architectural elevation ; but while we readily acknowledge the architectural skill shown by the competitors, and the meritorious manner in which many of the difficulties of these requirements have been met, we are bound to say, after full and mature deliberation, that we are not prepared to recommend any one individual design for adoption by your Lordship. " We much regret that we are c3mpellel to arrive at this conclusion, which, we may observe, is one to which we have unanimously assented. " At the same time we think it due to the com petitors to point to the design for a new gallery by Mr. Edward Barry, and to that for the adaptation of the existing gallery by Mr. Murray, as exhibiting the greatest amount of architectural merit. " Having thus far performed the duty assigned to us by your lordship, we venture to submit for your consideration the following suggestions on the prin ciplQs which ought to govern the building of a new National Gallery ; suggestions which we believe to be in accordance with the spirit, if not the letter, of our instructions. " We are of opinion that in the construction of a National Gallery the principle of ample and unob structed light should be carefully observed. This, we believe, will be most effectually done by lighting the principal galleries from the top, and by so regu lating the space for the admission of light that it shall in no case be less than one-half of the sup3r fieies of the floor. "The height of these, galleries to the ceiling Egli t should, in our opinion, be equal to the width ; and, as regards their length, long galleries without sub divisions appear to us to be inconvenient to visitors, and ill-adapted to a proper classification of the pic tures exhibited. " We consider, at the same time, that a National Gallery should contain one or more galleries of the width laid down in the instructions to the competi tors, while other galleries might be constructed with a width of 40 to 30 feet, which dimensions would be well suited for the exhibition of smaller pictures. " In th€se arrangements especial care should be taken that the higher galleries do not obstruct the light of the lower ones, and that the entrances should, if possible, be at the ends, rather than at the sides of the galleries. " On the question of warming and ventilation, the appliances should be so contrived as to give out the heat in the cent►e of the room. " Bearing in mind the arrangements required for the upper galleries, we consider it a matter of great importance that such areas should be provided as will admit of the lower rooms being lighted from both sides, so as to fit them for the exhibition of the Turner collection and other drawings. " The levels of the principal gallery floors should be so constructed as to admit of easy access by visitors. We would further observe that it is not, in our opinion, necessary or expedient to add to the difficulties involved in the requirements of a national picture gallery by appropriating large spaces to the exhibition of sculpture. " These suggestions are submitted for your lord ship's consideration with reference to interior ar rangements. " As regards the exterior, the light conveyed through the glass roofs should be as far as possible unobstructed by shadows cast from domes, towers, &c. Any breaks, therefore, which may be intro duced to relieve the sky-line should be subordinate to this practical consideration. " Provision should be made for the shelter of visitors entering or quitting the galleries, so as to give ready covered access to their carriages. " We have ventured to tender to your lordship these suggestions as desiderata in the erection of a gallery suitable for the reception of the national pictures. " We are, at the same time, aware that they must be subject to local considerations, to the space placed at the disposal of the architect, and also to the architectural effect required in a public build ing of the kind under consideration. " We do not wish it to be inferred from the above suggestions that these requirements have been gene rally lost sight of by tte competitors. We have already acknowledged not only the talent evinced in dealing with the question of architectural effect, but also the ingenuity and professional skill which have been brought to bear upon the difficulties of the task assigned to them. " Havir.g, however, come to the conclusion already communicated to your lordship, we should have failed in our duty as a Committee of advice had we not expressed our opinion upon the general prin ciples which should be observed in the construction of a National Gallery, and we are led to believe from the result of our investigations that such prin ciples may be generally adopted, and be found not altogether inconsistent with those architectural effects which should characterise a building of such national importance. " With this view we beg to submit the above Report for your lordship's consideration. " HamixGE. "ELciio. " RICHARD REDGRAVE. " WILLIAM RUSSELL. "A. J. B. BERESFORD HOPE. "T. G.AMBIER PARRY. " W.

Mr. Frank Buckland, now oac of her Majesty's inspectors of salmon fisheries, last week received a %very handsome recognition of his services in salmon and oyster culture from the authorities of the late fish culture exhibition at Boulogne. An award of a silver and a bronze medal was made to him, with a polite wish for his presence on the decoration day, March 3, 1867, to receive front thei r o w n h an d s the h o nours which have been awarded.--Land and Water. Naval and Military Intelligence. Her Majesty's screw troopship Himalaya, Capt. S. B. Piers, steamed into Portsmouth harbour on Saturday from Spithead, and made fast alongside the transport jetty of the dockyard, to await orders for her embarkation of troops. Her intended first service is foreign, but she is available for the tran sport of 1,300 troops at a trip to Ireland. Her Mljesty's gunboat Goshawk, under the com mand of Lieut. Martin, arrived at Whitehaven on Friday night from Liverpool, and now lies in the harbour. On Saturday morning a court-martial assembled on board H.M.S. Formidable, flagship of Vice-Ad miral Sir B. W. Walker, K.C.8., Commander-in- Chief at Sheerness, to try Mr. Charles Gribble, assist.-paymaster on board the Formid ible, for ser vice in the Naval Barracks, on the charge of being drunk and incapable of performing his duty on the 2d of March. Capt. D. M'L. Mackenzie, of H.M.S. Formidable, presided. Various witnesses deposed to seeing the prisoner drunk about 10 o'clock on the morning of the 23 inst. He put in a written defence, denying he was incapable of doing his duty, and certificates of character were read extending over a period of 12 years' service. The Court found him guilty, and sentenced him to be dismissed the ser vice. Another Court, composed of the same mem bers, was held on Charles Whitelock, sub-lieut. of H.M.S. Virago, for being drunk on board that ves sel on the 26th February. The prisoner pleaded guilty, alleging in extenuation of the offence that he had but just come out of the hospital, and that, having been a total abstainer for two years previ ously, the little drink he took overcame him. Com mander Bingham, the prisoner's superior officer, stated that he had always done his duty in a most officer-like manner, and to his entire satisfaction. Certificates of character extending over 10 years' service were read. The prisoner was sentenced to lose one year's seniority, to be dismissed the Tirago, and to be severely reprimanded. ' A notification has been received at Colchester from the Adjuant-General, directing the depot of the 2d battalion 6th Regiment (together with 50 rank and file, transfers from the 2d to the Ist batta lion) to be held in readiness to move from Colches ter to Ireland on receipt of a route from the Quarter master-General. The depot, under the command of Capt. Philipps, and consisting of Lieuts. Nugent, Morland, Grant, and Carey, Enaigns Sullivan and Monsergh, and about 150 non-commissioned officers and men, will join the regiment in Ireland on its ar rival from Jamaica. The Field-Marshal Command ing-in -Chief has approved the depot 83d Regiment joining the 4th depot battalion from Dublin, the regi ment being about to proceed on foreign service. The E and G batteries of field artillery of the 9th Brigade of Royal Artillery, stationed at Hilsea, Portsmouth, are held in readiness to embark for Ireland at an hour's notice should their presence there be found requisite from any further develop ment of the Fenian disturbance. Both batteries have been busily engaged during the past week in practising with shot and shell from their 12-pounder breech-loading Armstrong field pieces. Aregiment of infantry on the strength of Portsmouth garrison is also held in readiness to proceed to Ireland at equally short notice should their services be required. The Royal Marine Artillery at Portsmouth now muster 1,200 men in barracks, and, as they are spe cially fit for cost artillery duties, we would suggest that 900 out of the 1,200 should at once be formed into an artillery brigade, and despatched to Ireland to protect the coasts.

Browne, better known as "Artemus Ward," were buried on Saturday iu Kensal green Cemetery. Tho body had been conveyed from Southampton to the house of Mr. Charles Millward, of 9, Malden-crescent, Prince of Wales-road, Kentish-town, whence it was carried on Saturday at a quarter-past 1. The hearse was followed by four mourning c oaches and several private carriages, containing soma of the friends of the deceased.

After the service had been performed the friends of the deceased proceeded to the lower chapel, where they wore addressed by Mr. Lowton and Dr. Spencer Hall. A memorial will be placed in the cemetery at a future time, and probably the remains will bo taken to Ame rica for reinterment. By his will the deceased gentle man loaves the bulk of his property to his mother, Whose age is sixty-two. A n o bl e lib rary, formed by his. uncle, Calvin Browne, is bequeathed to the best boy in the school of his native village, Waterford, Oxford County, State of Maine. He provides th a t his page, an intelligent lad, shall be put to a printer's—the first in America—for two years, " to learn the value of learning," and to find out what lie has missed ; and that afterwards he shall receive a collegiate education. The property bequeathed to Mr. Browne's mother is on her death to revert in trust to Mr. llorace Greely, of New York, to be applied for the founda tion of an asylum for aged and decayed printers, of who:3e craft he was. He has appointed as his executors Mr. T. W. Itobertson and Mr. E. P. llingston ; the latter accom panied him in his travels, and has been for some time his secretary.

TILE SPECT-4011," ON TIIE " SITUATION."— The only remedNis clear, though even it may not be adequate. A vote of want of confidence should be passed as soon as may be, and a new Government, with a fresh sense cf responsibility, entrusted with the task to which this feeble apology for a Cabinet has shown itself so utterly incompetent. We should fear to trust even Mr. Gladstone if he were merely leader of Opposition, bidding against the Govern ment in relation to a bill for which nobody feels any distinct personal responsibility. A leader of Oppo sition in a confused party fight may acquiesce in errors which, if charged with the full responsibility of office, he would never commit. The policy now is to declare this Government incapable, and to weight Mr. Gladstone with the official responsibility of proposing a mature measure that may satisfy the country. If we do not do this, we shall be in danger not only of drifting into a Reform for which no one is really responsible, but of setting a precedent which mdy permanently weaken the significance of the words " official responsibility" throughout the future history of English Parliaments. THE " SATURDAY REVIEW " ON HOUSEHOLD SUFFRAGE.—Wise or foolish, beneficial or injurious, Household Suffrage pure and simple involves a re volution. Mr. Disraeli's figures are not yet ready, and we do not know what they may show, but we have by us some statistics very carefully drawn by Mr. Newmarch in 1859, and we cannot perceive why the total result should ever greatly differ. All manner of deductions will have to be made from them, but so they will from Mr. Disraeli's. House holders by the hundred i ty not vote, but then ten pounders by the score do not vote, but they can stand such deductions with the least comparative loss of power. According to these figures every elector now on the roll will become under Household Suffrage one of three. Speaking in round numbers, 400,000 borough electors will be increased to 1,200,000. In a majority of boroughs, possibly in every borough except the city of London, the existing constituency will be outnumbered by the new one, while in a very large number, probably in a majority, the householders below £6 rental will outnumber all classes above that figure,—will out number, that is, not only the ten-pounders, but the ten-pounders plus the clasSes Mr. Gladstone last year desired to enfranchise. The figures are as follows : Ten Ten rounders, Under Pounders. plus Six rou ', x ids Metropolitan (7 boroughs) 132,0'0 9 08,000 76,000 S. Eastern (27 boroughs) 31,000 57,690 50,500 S. Midland (15 boroughs) 12.600 19,900 10,700 Eastern (19 boroughs) 27,700 43,700 44,200 S. Western (88 boroughs) 2'.3,800 42,800 43,600 W. Midland (8 boroughs) 40,200 59,700 77,800 - Midland (8 boroughs) 30,500 50,500 55,200 N. Western (26 boroughs) 86,700 142,100 0 1,200 Northern (19 boroughs) 2.3.700 34,700 41,600 S. Wales (9 boroughs) 38,800 14,900 °13,400 N. Wales (5 boroughs) 4,000 7,100 12,000 In other words, the existing constituency is almost everywhere swamped, and will be swamped in most cases, even should the six-pounders rally to its side. In the event of a surge of emotion pissing through the working class sufficiently strong to make them pull together, say, for instance, an enthusiasin for the Maine Law, the upper class will not be able, even if unanimous, to seat a single unpledged member, ex cept for some out-of-the-way and probably corrupt constituency. That may be a wise, or expedient, or inevitable change, but at all events that is revolu tion—a transference of power at least as great as that which took place in 1832, probably very much greater, because the middle class, though it gained the borougi's, lost the counties under the Chandos Clause. The middle class is deposed simply in favour of another, possibly more competent, but still different class, as completely deposed as ever were the aristocracy in favour of themselves. If this is what we, that is, moderate Englishmen of Liberal convictions, intend, well and good, then is our in tention perfectly fulfilled; but at least let us recog nize it as our intention, let us not play at blind man's buff with constitutions, let us avow that we mean once for all to make the workmen the ulti mate depositaries of sovereign power. Because they have a right to a share, and a visible and sub stantial share, is it our decision to give them all ? THE " EXAMINER" ON OFFICIAL CIIANGES.—The Duke of Buckingham succeeds Lord Carnarvon as Secretary for the Colonies, and is himself succeeded as President of the Council by the Duke of Marl borough. Sir Stafford Northcote takes the Secre taryship for India, and is followed at the Board of Trade by the Duke of Richmond. We have thus, again, three Dukes in the Cabinet,—a pledge of wisdom in the Executive we have not had since the coalition under Lord Aberdeen. Three stronger politicians could hardly be found than their Three Graces ; and three more appropriate hostages for Tory orthodoxy could not be offered to doubting followers. Mr. Henry Corry takes the command of the British Navy on the strength of his having been twice Secretary to the Admiralty. Lord H enr y Le nn ox cannot under stand his being put over his head ; and to prove his indignation has asked and obtained leave to exchange his present office for the less lucrative one of Vice-President of the Council, in which, if he has not more to do in other respects, he will have more to say as representing the department in the Lower House of Parliament. The rumour goes that his successor, as Secretary of the Admiralty, will be found in Mr. Baillie Cochrane. The office of Lord Steward has not yet been filled up ; but as Lord Derby is proud of a ducal staff, it is not improbable that he may appease the discontent of Kimbolton by offering the Gold Stick to the Duke of Manchester. The tendency we noticed some time ago of conferring more than one office in the administration upon the same family seems to be unabated. Lord Abercorn and his brother, Lord Behnore and his uncle, Lord Derby and his son, and now the Duke of Richmond and Lord Henry Lennox, are curious illustrations of this disposition to concentrate patronage in a few Great Houses, regardless of the claims of others. The same tendency was often made a reproach to the Whigs. As a party taunt Conservatives can use it no more. Th e bill w hi c h abolishes f or th e future the appointment of Vice-President of the Board of Trade contains a reservation in favour of the present holder of that office, whereby Mr. Cave will be allowed to continue to discharge its duties ; and now that the head of the Department is a Peer he will have the conduct of the business in the House of Commons. TimEs.—While the Reform Bill of the Govern ment is still in the crucible and has yet to be moulded into its final shape we may profitably ask ourselves what it is which has wrought so marvellous a change in Conservative policy. low comes it that sensible and honourable gentlemen who trembled last year at the prospect of a £7 franchise now talk glibly of household suffrage, and almost terrify veteran Liberals by their unwonted intrepidity? By what process has the grim bugbear of " democracy' been exercised, and what are the arguments which have convinced many county members that an in definite number of artisans may be enfranchised without " disfranchising" the present constituencies or shaking the pillars of the Constitution ? There are critics, perhaps, who would give a short and ready answer to all these questions. When a party which has been so obstructive in Opposition be comes so enterprising in office, it is easy to suggest an unworthy motive for the change of attitude. Such an explanation, however, is not only un charitable; it is also inadequate to account for a conversion on so considerable a scale. The hope of power or.preferment influences, after all, but a very limited class, and of those..who sit on the Conserva tive benches a large proportion have no personal ambition of this kind. Besides, we are informed by Lord Derby that remonstrances against a scanty and provisional measure of Reform flowed in from Conservative adherents in all parts of the country; nor is it possible to mingle in society without ob serving a similar change of tone on the subject. This change of tone, we venture to hope, is genuine, and springs from conviction, slowly developed, though rapidly matured. So far as it is common to all the converts, the conviction is twofold—that Reform must be settled, and cannot be settled by make-be lieve legislation. Here the agreement between them ceases, for some bow mournfully to this political necessity, as to an evil power, while others look for ward hopefully to the probable results of Reform. When General Peel confessed that he had changed his mind with respect to the alleged indifference of the masses, he was too honest to add that he had modified his estimate of their capacity for that which they demand. There are many educated men in the very same position who now acknowledge, for the first time, that Reform is inevitable, without being able to persuade themselves that it is at all desirable. In spite of some unguarded expressions, we cannot believe that such is the position of Lord Derby him self or of the majority of the Cabinet, or of the more progressive Conservatives, both in and out of Parlia ment, on whose support they rely. We are ready to give them credit, for having deliberately em braced the opinion that a liberal, though discrimi nating, extension of_the franchise is for the real good of the country, and for having found some answer to the reasoning which formerly convinced them of the contrary. All the problems of politics look very different from different points of view, and a new sense of responsibility often produces that mys terious emancipation from ancient prejudices the occult causes of which the historian seeks in vain. By far the most formidable objection to a larger infusion of the labouring classes into the electoral body is one that melts away, to a great extent, on close examination. It is not denied by the most zealous advocates of class representation that labour has a prima facie claim to increased weight in the Legislature. What is asserted is that a full recog nition of its claims would be dangerous to the in terests of the whole community,—partly because the labouring class, being the most numerous, would swamp all others, and partly because its members, being ignorant and easily misled by agitators, might abuse the trust committed to them. Now, both these dangers, though real, are ma terially weakened by self-adjusting natural safe guards on the permanence of which experience jus tifies our relying. The numbers of the " working class" appear, indeed, overwhelming, if we include in it all who can be assigned to no other class. If, however, we eliminate from it all who are in receipt of parochial relief, all who have no fixed residence or are excused from the payment of rates on the grounds of poverty, and all mere agricultural labourers, whom Mr. Bright himself considers unfit, as yet, for enfranchisement—not to speak of other elements, small individually, but large collectively —we find that our residuum of adult artisans, occu pying the same houses or lodgings for one or two years continuously, is much less than we might have expected. Still, it is no doubt quite sufficient to control legislation most disastrously, if armed with the franchise and banded together against all the other orders of society. But, supposing these unrepresented artisans to be animated by these unscrupulous objects, is there no danger in ex cluding them from our representative system ? Is it reasonable to imagine that men really bent on bringing about social convulsions are perfectly harmless so long as they have no votes, but would become omnipotent for evil if admitted within the representative pale? Is not the very fact of their seeking admission in a lawful and orderly manner rather a presumption of their attachment to Constitutional Government? Above all, is there not a fdlacy in the notion that power is propor tioned, even approximately, to mere electoral ar rangements in a country like our own ? Would the most levelling measure of Reform paralyse the social forces which so vastly outweigh political forces in our body politic, and is it not possible that a mode rate and state-manlike measure of Reform might strengthen their Conservative efficacy ? These ar. , considerations which, however familiar to philoso pher.,, have scarcely had a fair hearing in Parliament until very lately. Perhaps they would not have got a fair h aring even now had not our national self complacency. been somewhat disturbed by several causes of anxiety at home and abroad. Self-reform must ever be a painful process, and the House of Commons must be forgiven if it instinctively shrunk from the task so long as public opinion was unde cided. It is public opinion, making itself felt through the press, which has brought a new order of ideas to bear upon Parliamentary Reform ; nor would it be difficult to trace back to its source this movement in public opinion. The challenge offered in the debates of last session, and especially by Mr. Lowe, has never been openly accepted, but it has not been without effect. No one has attempted to specify grievances like those which existed before 1832, but the attention of many has been drawn to a certain chronic debility in our legislation, which is not devoid of risk, and seems to have its origin in the character of the constituencies. There is another reflection, however, of a subtler cha racter which may well have operated on the minds of enlightened Conservatives. If we live "under the cold shade of an aristocracy," as we are so often reminded, it is no longer so much an aristocracy of birth as an aristocracy of wealth. In the Lower House the growing preponder ance of wealth has long been observed with some misgivings by old-fashioned Tories, as well as by advanced Radicals, and so long as the small boroughs retain their present constituencies and their present share of representation, there is far more chance of our being governed by millionaires than by dema gogues. Now this is a state of things which the elite of both parties have equal reason to deprecate. The class which in times past claimed the leadership of the people by virtue of superior powers has not altogether abandoned the noble ambition of guid ing our political destinies, and is well aware of the conditions upon which alone popular confidence is to be won. Here, at least, its members find them selves on common ground with Reformers like Mr. Mill, whose jealousy of a plutocracy is quite as great as their own. It is, indeed, notorious that many seats were carried at the last election by agencies equally hostile to merit of all kinds, and that at this moment the greatest reluctance to deal with bribery is to be found elsewhere than among the country gentlemen in Parliament. It is possible that Reform might aggravate this evil, but it is also possible that it might extirpate its chief strongholds. Without attributing undue importance to a senti ment which has not yet become a principle, we may recognise the awakening of higher aspirations and a more legitimate self-reliance in the reforming tend encies of the younger Conservatives. No symptom could be more hopeful, nor could anything mitigate the dangers inseparable from organic change more effectually, than a revival of political interest, and an elevation of political aims, in the best and ablest of the present governing classes. D emocracy , i n it s worst sense, is impossible in E ng l an d so l ong as they do not fail in their duty. With a prestige in herited from ages when nobility was earned by public service, with a political aptit u d e w hi c h i n o ther countries is the gift of a few, with an educa tion which places them far in advance of self-made politicians, with an assured position, ample leisure, and independent means, English gentlemen must in deed be unworthy of all these manifold advantages if they ever forfeit, in free competition, their ascend ancy in the national Legislature.
