The proclamation that the King of ITALY has issued is admirably well adapted to the momentous occasion that calls it forth, and we earnestly trust that it may fulfil tho expectations f those who ' framed it. Due credit should be allowed to those who have resolved upon taking this decisive step, and employed such strong terms to check the evil that is rapidly spreading, and threatens injury, if not destruction, to all concerned. This proclama tion begins by declaring that bands of volun teers, without the authorisation of the KING or his Government, have violated the fron tier of the State. An " inexorable debt of hon our" is prescribed, it goes on to say, by the respect due to international stipulations and to the laws that all citizens should obey. Europo is aware that the flag raised in the Papal dominions is not VICTOR EMMANUEL'S, and that fact imposes upon him and his advisers serious responsibilities, and the imperi ous duty of saving both his honour and the country of not " confounding twcs causes absolutely distinct, two different objects." This is plain speaking, at any rate, and whether it answers all the desired ends or not, at least it can not fail to secure great results. We are glad, both for his own sake and that of Italy, that the KING should thus have spoken out, and in common with his Ministers have put a veto upon the mad attempt that the volunteers under GARIBALDI hap engaged in. The French will, we doubt not, also rejoice to find that the Italian Government have known how to act in this great emergency, and has boldly stood forward to protect the best interests of their country from dangers at home and abroad, from an internal revulsion no leas than from an ex ternal assault. A calm tone of dignity pervades this proclamation from beginning to end, while at the same time it is spirited and divided. " Italy must be secured against the dangers she must run. Europe must be convinced that, faithful to her en gagements, Italy does not desire to be, and cannot be, the disturber of public order." These are em phatic words, and cannot possibly be misunderstood by those who read them and hear of them. They are well calculated to impress upon the minds of waverers the great danger of acting in defiance of the laws or in violation of treaties. Further on we find that the threatened conflict with France is denounced in the strongest terms, and indeed, it is said, that a " war with an ally would be a fratricidal war between two armies who have fought for the same cause." As holder of the right of peace or war, the KING affirms that he cannot tolerate its usurpation, and very justly too, for it is a great encroachment on his privileges, made too at a most inopportune time. There is neither doubt nor hesitation to be found in the language here employed, and it is encouraging to meet with an expression like the following : " I feel confident, therefore, that the voice of rea son will be listened to, and that the Italian citizens who have violated that right will promptly with draw behind the line of our troops." No one who is unprejudiced can refuse to admit that the KING evinces a very fair disposition to make the best of things, and to meet difficulties half way. He pro miser that when calm shall be restored to men's minds, and public order again be observed, his Go vernment, in agreement with that of Franco, shall seek to make a practicable arrangement that will be calculated to put an end to the " serious and important Roman question." We cannot see, under these circumstances, how any one can possibly find a reasonable excuse for holding out against the voice of entreaty that is addressed to them, and urges them, in the name of their common country, to abstain from acts of violence, and to consider well the consequences of their rash Finally, the KING declares that the venture. honour of the country is in his hands, and that the confidence the nation has hitherto shown him can not fmil him. lie will confide in the wisdom of his subjects, even as they must trust in his affection for the great country which, thanks to their common sacrifices, has been "at last re stored to the number of nations, and which we must hand down entire and honoured to our chil.. dren." We are not surprised to find that this procla mation has been received everywhere with approval by those who recognise the significance of the situation, and the urgent necessity for prompt and decisive measures being taken. The French press have welcomed it with cordiality. The Constitutionnel thus speaks of it—" VICTOR E3IIIANUEL shows himself equal to the occasion. He has spoken like a King, and has thereby saved the honour of the Italian nation and the dignity of the Crown." The Paine declares that it is the in tention of the French Government to send a Circular Despatch to the foreign agents of France, in order that the real nature of the intervention of that country in Italy may be known, which, however, is accurately explained in the note in the Abniteur recently published. The same journal adds that the new Italian Ministers made two stipulations when they took office, which were to the effect that the KING should disavow com pletely any connivance at the violation of the Roman frontier by the Garibaldians, and that his MAJESTY should continue to associate the French intervention with the Italian army by a movement on the frontier. Taking all things into considera tion it does not seem unreasonable to hope that even now, at the eleventh hour with some, we may be spared the mortification of hearing of a collision between the French and the volun teers who act under GARIBALDI, If any remnant of reason be left among the leaders of the movement they must perceive pretty plainly by this time that it is entailing certain defeat on themselves, and involving great losses to their country to persist in their resolve to do or die by the walls of Rome. We hope and trust that the sad experience they have had already may serve them in good stead, and that Europe will be saved from the scandal of witnessing an encoun 7 ter between the forces of France and Italy. We con gratulate the KING upon his wise choice of action, under circumstances of extraordinary peril and per plexity, and venture to indulge in the hope that his efforts will not be thrown away, but that Italy may emerge from the cloud which now envelopes her, and flourish in that peace, progress, and prosperity which shall be her rightful portion, and that she may present to Europe a spectacle worthy of her glorious part and the responsibilities of her future career. It is becoming quite evident that the high price of provisions has reached that point at which the long-suffering British public does something more than grumble. Day by day the columns of our contemporaries are full of murmurs both loud and deep respecting the exorbitant demand of retail tradesmen, and when we compare their Hats with those of the wholesale dealers there appears vent-., able ground for complaint. The food supply of the metropolis is a question of very great importance and extent, and long before the agitation about pricts was got up it furnished matter for surmise and comment solely on account of the immense quantity demanded and provided for the annual supply. But the attention of the public is now forcibly directed to the food question, on account of the heavy inroads which the tradesmen's accounts are now making on the purse of every householder. Men are prepared to allow a moderate share of profit to the retail dealers, and will do little more thais grumble if those profits increase ia a very undue proportion ; but the position in which they now find themselves is bad enough to arouse them into vigorous and united action. It is a fact of which any one who chooses to take the trouble of a journey citywards can readily convince themselves, that the prices of the suburban butchers are one:third more, and sometimes even twice as much, as the money asked of retail customers in the wholesale market. Joints of mutton, for which our family purveyors do not scruple to charge 11d. per lb., are there obtainable for 7d. Beef, of the best quality, changes its price from 10d. to 6id. or 7d., and beef-steak, which has long been the terror of housekeepers, recedes from the inevitable 10d. to 53. per lb. And it must further be noticed that the meat thus supplied is the best of its kind, and often bears favourable comparison with what the local traders often send to their customers. Of course the latter are expected to charge a good percentage not only for their ordinary expenses, but for the other outlays which the arrangements of modern society compel them to make; but with these facts before our eyes we can hardly doubt that they take very unceremonious advantage of the necessities of their customers. Paterfamilias, unless he is driven to absolute desperation, is not very likely to start for Newgate or Leadenhall, and shoulder his own meat, and consequently he has little or no resource but the local butcher, who charges him what he likes. A very ready excuse for increasing prices already too high was forthcoming in the cattle plague, but since its disappearance we see very little corresponding re duction. A great deal has been said about the in creasing wealth of the country, and the consequent increase of the numbers who consume butchers' meat, but that does not account for the discrepancy between the wholesale and retail prices. The pre sent system of housekeeping throws a great deal too much power into the hands of the local dealers. Our grandmothers used to start off, purse in hand, and choose their own goods and pay their weekly bills. Now-a-days the feminine head of the household never sees the joints till they appear on the dinner table, and the account is a matter of quarterly arrangement. The butcher charges as other people do for long credit, and, what is more, he knows that it is often very inconvenient to make a change in the middle of the quarter. Then he charges a good sum for the wages of the extra hands he employs, and for the time lost in waiting on his customers, being toleraLly secure that they will grumble a long while before they leave him, and knowing, moreover, that if they do they will be little or no better off. The butchers and bakers need no defenders, as they have plenty of advocates forthcoming, but however ably their case may be stated, there still remains no valid reason why the same meat should be sd. at one end of the town and 10d. at another, or why the scales seldom or never balance with a 41b. weight and a (supposed) quartern loaf. The truth is that most people in these days are living behind the world instead of before it. The good old English rule of substance without show has now been superseded by the pre vailing taste for show rather than substance. The retail traders are affected by this like all the rest of the community, and consequently their own domes tic expenses are heavy. They " make haste to be rich," not content with the modest profits of their fathers, and the money sunk in plate glass windows, gorgeous shop fronts, and other accessories of a dashing trade, of course must come out of the pockets of their customers. In houses, in dress, in every other domestic arrangement, the butcher or baker in a wealthy suburb must keep pace with the family of die professional man, indeed he is very often more than able to do so. How could this be done with a moderate rate of profit and the long credit system? It is a matter with which legislation is often, after all, powerless to deal. In France the monthly average of the corn market is taken, profits allowed for the • several hands the corn passes through, and the price of bread fixed at a uniform rate. Some of the malcontents among ourselves wish for the adoption of a similar method ; but, supposing for a moment that such a plan would bo tolerated, the bakers could still find means to indemnify themselves by giving inferior bread and using loss flour. Instead of trying such unsatisfactory means, it would be much better if the co-operative plan, spoken of in some quarters, could bo adopted. If a dozen or two householders in every suburb combined to organise a system of purveying from the wholesale markets, our retail tradesmen would be brought to their proper level. By a system of indolence and thoughtlessness we have allowed a domestic grievance to swell into national propor- tions, and it will need some vigorous steps to set matters at all right again. The sums now paid for the ordinary expenses of a household produces a serious effect on all other trades and markets, and if the butchers and bakers have reason to be satisfied with such a state of things they aro about the only members of the community who do so. 00.3.RESEONDENC3 FROl'el PARIS. (FRODI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. The Ministers and the members of the Privy Council assembled yesterday morning in council at St. Cloud under the presidency of the Empe ror . _ . The Empress received at the Palace of St. Cloud on Saturday morning King Louis the First of Bavaria, who arrived in Paris on the previous evening from Munich. His Majesty travels in strict privacy, under the title of Count Augusta. Baron Pergler de Perglas, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of King Louis the Second of Bavaria, was present at the reception. The Moniteur has the folloviing explanation of the reasons which induced the Government to rescind the order for delaying the departure of the troops from Toulon : " The departure of the fleet and the troops assem bled at Toulon for Civita Vecchia bad been sus pended until Saturday evening at the demand of King Victor Emmanuel ; but no Ministry had been formed at Florence, the revolutionary bands con tinued to invade the Pontifical States, and placed Rome in danger. The French Government there fore could no longer adjourn the occupation upon which it had decided, and the Emperor made known his resolution at Florence. This measure has no aggressive character against Italy. Both countries are equally interestei in the triumph of order and loyalty. The revolutionary invasions attempted against Rome are but a violation of public rights and treaties. The Italia❑ nation and its sovereign can have no other feeling respecting these events than ours, and we preserve the hope that the amiable relations which unite the two people will not be disturbed. The grand favourite banquet given by the Foreign Connuissioners to the Imperial Commission took place on Saturday at the Hotel du Louvre, and, as I announced would be. the case, Lord Granville presided. Moro than 300 guests were present, and the cordiality and good feeling which prevailed rendered the banquet as interesting as it was im portant. Lord Granville proposed the health of the Imperial family, which was received with appro priate and prolonged expressions of applause. M. Rouher then made an excellent speech, to which Lord Granville responded, and proposed a toast to the Imperial Commission. M. Forcade de la Ro quette, Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, returned thanks on the part of the Commission. The health of M. Le Play, the Pre sident of the Commission, was received with well deserved enthusiasm. MarshalVaillant proposed the health of Lord Granville, who, in returning thanks, with much grace and courtesy proposed " The Ladies." M. Rouher, after doing full justice to the value of the Exhibition, adverted prominently to politics. He said— "Some persons bad feared that a neighbouring nation (Italy) would assume the heavy responsi bility of a war with France. That uneasiness, I think, is without foundation. The only object of the Imperial resolution is to stop the disorderly progress of dangerous revolutionists, individuals without authority, who dare to violate the fidelity sworn by the regular powers of the country. (Pro longed applause.) " The Italian nation know, thanks to God, that blind anarchists threaten Florence as much as Rome, and the existence of the Italian Monarchy as well as that of the Pontifical States. For my part I have confidence in the wisdom of that people to whom we have given so many proofs of sym pathy. They will not allow themselves tobe towed along by bad passions. The trial which we are undergoing will only serve to consolidate peace by suppressing those disorderly and perturbatory vio lences to which we cannot without shame and dan ger abandon the interests of Europe and civilisa tion." The last despatch from Rome received in Paris states that the struggle still continued at Monte Rotondo, and that a reinforcement of 1,000 men had been sent to the assistance of the Papal troops. This despatch is not much credited here, but it is right to mention it as one of the announcements of the day, as well as some other reports which follow. The municipal junta of Genoa has voted an address to the King, stating that Genoa is ready to make any sacrifices for the defence of the honour of the country. More Garibaldiau manifestations are said to have taken place at Venice and Turin. The officers of the National Guard of Genoa have signed au address of confidence and fidelity to the King, and say they are ready to sacrifice their lives for their country. One of the letters from Florence states that the insurrectional movement broke out at Rome after the Pope refused to take into consideration the ad dress of the 12,000 Romans. The excitement was at its height when Cardinal Antonelli gave orders to arrest the promoters of the demonstration, and to act against the municipal officers who have un dertaken to present the address. It is added that 200,000 needle Prussian guns have been received in Italy to arm the troops. In the correspondence from Piedmont it is stated that several Englishmen of note and destination are among the ranks of the insurgents who intend to march upon Rome. For several days we have been without Italian papers in Paris. Some have arrived to-day, but they are quite destitute of news. It was believed at Civita Vecchia that it would be attacked. The Minister had sent Colonel d'Argy with the Roman Legion to defend it until the arrival of the French troops. Rather a serious accident has happened to the mail train from Calais to Paris on the Northern Railway. Near the station of Villiers le Bel, not far from St. Denis, the train ran into a locomotive which had been carelessly left upon the line; the tender was broken to pieces, and the first carriage of the first-class was much injured. The engine driver was so much hurt that he died soon after he was taken to the hospital. An English passenger had his thigh broken, and several other persons were more or less hurt. An English surgeon who was in the train rendered every possible assistance. The weather has again a tendency to storm, and it has become much colder. LORD MAYOR'S DAY. At present there is some reason to apprehend that the Lord Mayor Elect, in spite of his ardent desire to the contrary, and to improve and modify the civic pageant in conformity alike with good taste and common sense, may yet be coerced into going from Guildhall to Westminster on the 9th of November in the antiquated and lumbering State coach. The Entertainment Committee have agreed, at his urgent solicitation, to dispense with the men carrying banners and the rest of the pedestrian part of the procession, which is a great point gained, but in other respects, so far as they are concerned, the pageant is to be made up in the accustomed manner, including, of course, the State carriage, and pos sibly, for anything yet known to the contrary, the men in tumour. Those of the Aldermen who have expressed themselves in public on the subject, with perhaps a single exception, are resolutely opposed to any change, and at their meeting on Tuesday last not one among them gave the slightest countenance to the proposed modification. The younger members of the Court remained silent, with the exception of Alderman Stone, who spoke rather in his capacity of Sheriff than of a magistrate, and the discussion was confined to those of the members present who had filled thG office of Lord Mayor, and who were of one mind upon the subject. In Common Council the case is somewhat different. At their meeting on Thursday last the subject was brought abruptly under consideration, without notice of any kind, and at the end of a long sitting, when only 57 of the 200 members of which the body is composed were present. They had even to suspend the orders to enable them to enter upon the discussion, and it was commenced by Mr. Gower, who moved, that in accordance with an old resolution of the Common Council, the Lord Mayor Elect be requested to use the State coach in his progress from Guildhall to Westminster to be pre sented to the Barons of the Exchequer. It appeared that the Town Clerk, who has the traditions and usages of the Corporation at his fingers' ends, had dug out from among their archives a resolution passed on the subject by the Common Council 90 years ago, in the time of Lord Mayor Halifax, and upon this precedent, which was produced at the request of Alderman Wilson, Mr. Gower founded his motion, which was carried by a majority of 25 in a Court of 57 members. That ancient document recited that some of the chief magistrates of the city in those days had relinquished the use of the State coach on certain recurring occasions on which it had long been the custom to use it, and the Com mon Council recommended that it should be used in future on those occasions. The Town Clerk stated that, notwithstanding that resolution, in his time the state carriage had not been used on many what were called State occasions, with the excep tion of the 9th of November (Lord Mayor's Day), when it had always been used. After all, the reso- lution of Mr. Gower, passed under these circum stances, and far from unanimously, on Thursday last, amounted only to a civil request that the Lord Mayor Elect would use the state coach on the forthcoming occasion. It binds him to nothing ; he may either comply with it or not, as he pleases. On the other hand, he has been urged by upwards of 200 men of standing in the city—eminent bankers, merchants, traders, and others—to so cur tail and modify the pageant as to interfere as little as possible with the ordinary traffic, the more so as one great. line of thoroughfare leading from the west-end into the city is now seriously narrowed and diverted iu places by the viaduct now in course of erection over the Holborn-valley. It is of coin- paratively little use to curtail the pageant if the pon derous State coach is to be retained as part of it, seine that the pace will be thereby retarded as much aroma, probably, aware that the coaeh whcn empty weighs nearly fiee tors. Although drawn by six "topsoil in turning a corner the draught is thrown almost entirely upon the two wheelers, which are often much exhausted in conse quence for the moment, notwithstanding their fine condition, and the bystanders before now have had to assist in the difficulty. Nearly a fortnight has still to elapse before the 9th of November, and it is to be hoped that the Common Council and the En tertainment Committee may yet see the propriety, in the public interest and in that of good taste, of furthering the wish of the Lord Mayor elect to dis pense with the antiquated coach, and to go in his private State carriage, which, like those of his pre decessors in office, is a stately and handsome equi page, drawn by four horses. LATEST INTELLIGENCE, (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ITALY. FLORENCE, Oct. 28, Evening. It is stated that Deputy Broglio has accepted the Portfolio of Minister of Public Instruction. Garibaldi is said to have left Monte Rotondo yesterday, and to have gone to the hills near Fornova. About 300 Papal troops have arrived at Terni as prisonerF, but were set at liberty by the Italian authorities. The Opinione says that General La Marmora has left for Paris ou a confidential mission to the Em- peror. The Ministry intend to convoke the Italian Par, liament in the latter part of November. FRENCH CIRCULAR ON THE ROMAN QUESTION. PARIS, Oct. 29. A Circular Note, dated 25th inst., has been ad dressed by the Marquis de Moustier to the French diplomatic agents abroad, in which he says :—" We do not wish at this moment to occupy ourselves with enumerating the successive incidents which have given rise to, and pushed to extreme conse quences, a crisis as threatening to the security of the Holy See as it is dangerous to the true interests of Italy. It suffices for us to regard them from the point of view of our right and our honour, and to =firm the duty for us resulting therefrom. " The September Convention has been induced and freely signed by the Italian Government. It obliged that Government to protect efficaciously the frontier of the Pontifical States against all aggres sion from without. No one can now doubt this obligation has not been fulfilled, and that we have a right to replace matters in the position they occu pied prior to the loyal and complete execution of our own engagements by the evacuation of Rome. Our honour certainly imposes upon us the duty of not failing to recognise the hopes founded by the Catholic world upon the value of a treaty bearing our signature. " Let us hasten to say, however, that we do not wish to renew, in the old form, an occupation of whose gravity no one is better aware than we are. We are not animated by any hostile idea towards Italy, and we faithfully retain the remembrance of all tics which unite us with her. We are convinced that the spirit of order and loyalty, the only pos sible basis for her prosperity and her greatness, will not delay in loudly asserting itself. As soon as the Pontifical territory shall be liberated and security is re-established, we shall have accom plished our task, and we shall withdraw. " But henceforth we must call attention of Powers as much interested as we ourselves are in causing the principles of order and stability to prevail in Europe to the reciprocal situation of Italy and the Holy See. " We do not doubt that they will consider, with a sincere desire to settle them, the questions to which so large a number of their subjects attach moral and religious interests of the most elevated character. " Such, sir, aro the considerations you will take care to set forth, and which I feel confident the Government to which you are accredited will ap- preciate. MousTIER." MUNICH, Oct. 29. Both Chambers have assembled for a morning sitting, and it is expected that the refusal of Prussia to grant to Bavaria the right of veto over the reso lutions of the Federal Council will be considered. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 28. Count rohlen has replaced M. Urusoff as Minister of Justice. Owing to indisposition on the part of Count Ad lerberg, the Minister of the Imperial Household, his Excellency has been appointed to the post of Deputy Minister in the same department. BANQUET TO THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA. PAnts, Oct. 29. A grand banquet was given at the Hotel de Ville yesterday in honour of the Emperor of Austria. Besides the illustrious guest, the Emperor Napoleon, the Empress, several Princes and Princesses, the members of the corps diplomatique, and many high dignitaries were present. The Emperor Napoleon proposed a toast to the Emperor and Empress of Austria as the expression of the profound sympathy towards the person and family of the Emperor and Austria. The Emperor of Austria, in returning thanks, expressed his desire that all discord which had pre viously separated two countries called to march forward together in the paths of progress and civi lisation should be buried in oblivion. His Majesty concluded by proposing a toast to the Emperor and Empress of the French, the Prince Imperial, Franco, and the City of Parl4. The toast was most warmly applauded. Upon leaving the Hotel de Vile their Majesties were cheered by an immense crowd. THE BOMBAY MAIL. ALEXANDRIA, Oct. 27. The Sumatra left at 10 a.m. and the Bangalore at 2 p.m. to-day.

MR. DISRAELI'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. -----4--- The Chancellor of the Exchequer left London at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning by the London and North-Western Railway, and reached the Gore bridge-station of the North British Railway, travel ling by the Waverley route from Carlisle, at half past nine in the evening. The right hon. gentleman, who was accompanied by Mrs. Disraeli and his private secretary, Mr. Corry, occupied a saloon car riage, which was detached from the express train at Gorebridge, where that train does not usually stop, and he was received by Mr. Dundas, of Arniston, whose guest he will be during his Edinburgh visit. At Galashiels station, where the train generally waits for a few minutes, Me. Disraeli's arrival was eagerly waited for by a score or two of persons, among whom the news of his coming by the evening express had spread ; and when the train arrived at tempts were made by a few of those present to get a glimpse of the distinguished traveller through the window of the carriage, which was at first closed. On noticing this, Mr. Disraeli lowered the window, and leaning forward out of the carriage inquired of the bystanders if he was then at Galashiels, to which amid general cheering an affirmative answer was of course returned. After contemplating the crowd for a few seconds, Mr. Disraeli called out, in a somewhat loud voice, " Do you wish to be an nexed to the Haddington Burghs, or would you like to remain in the county ?" "The county," was the somewhat ungracious though general shout in reply, and, amid considerable cheering, Mr. Disraeli with drew, apparently in no way discomfited. Our Car lisle correspondent writes that at the station, where the right hon. gentleman was detained about a quar ter of an hour, he was heartily cheered.--Scotsman• WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated London News.) Probate of the will of the Right Hon. Gilbert John Heathcote, Baron Aveland, of Stockton Hall, Lincoln ; Normanton Park, Rutland ; Rutland ; and 12, Belgrave-square, was granted, on the sth inst., by her Majesty's Court of Probate to his son, the Right Hon. Gilbert Henry, Baron Aveland, the sole acting executor, power being reserved to his relict, the Right Hon. Clementina Elizabeth, Baro ness Aveland, and the testator's cousin, John Moyer Heathcote, Esq., of Connington Castle, Huntingdon. The personalty was sworn under £400,000. The will is dated 1863, and there are three codicils-1863,1864, and August, 1866. His lordship died Sept. 6, 1867, at the age of 72. He was the eldest son of the late Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Bart., M.P., and was raised to the peerage in 1856, and was Lord-Lieutenant for Lincolnshire. His lordship has made a liberal provision for his relict, and has left her ladyship many specific bequests, bequeathing to her all his diamonds, pearls, jewels, and plate, including the jewels, china, and orna ments given t i p her by Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby and others. To his two daughters he has also left liberal legacies, beyond the provision made for them under the settlement on his marriage. His real estate and the residue of the personal estate he leaves to his son, the present baron. —The will of Sir Charles Miles Lambert Monck, Bart., late of Belsay Castle, near Hexham, Northumberland, was proved in the district registry of Newcastle-on- Tyne, by his grandson, Sir Arthur Edward Monck (the eldest son of the testator's late eldest son, Charles Atticus Monck) ; Charles Edward Stephen Cooke, Esq., of Doncaster, the testator's nephew ; and Thomas Anderson, Esq., of Littleharle Tower, Northumberland, the joint acting executors. The personalty was sworn under £90,000. The testator died July 20, 1867, aged 88, having executed his will in May preceding. He was the eldest son of the late Sir Wm. Middleton, Bart., by Jane, daughter of Lawrence Monck, and exchanged hisname of Mid dleton for that of Monck in 1790. He has bequeathed to his grandson, Henry Nicolas Monck, £4,000, in addition to his provision under the settlement of marriage of his father and mother. To his butler he leaves Z3OO, and to his housekeeper £6O, for their long and faithful services, free of duty. His real estate and the residue of the personal he be queaths to his grandson, now Sir Arthur Edward Monck, Bart. There are certain real * and landed estates situated in Bolan', Stainfordham, and Whatton, all in Northumberland, the annual income from which is to accumulate till it reaches the sum of £lOO,OOO, his grandson, the present baronet, re ceiving therefrom in the meantime £2,000 per annum.--The will of John Lewis, otherwise Jean Louis Greffulke, E-q., merchant, formerly of Win claester-street and Cornhill, in the City of London ; and of Pall-mall, Westminster ; but late of the city of Paris, was proved in London, on the Bth inst., by the executors therein appointed—namely, his two nephews, Count Louis Charles Greffulke and Count Urbain Alexandre Henri Greffulke ; the personalty in England being sworn under £500,000. The testator died in Paris, in April last, having executed his will there, in 1864, and added three codicils dated 1864-65. Tho will is translated from the French language, and commences with these re markable words :—" I do not wish to be buried, but that my body be embalmed and placed in a coffin, the lid of which shall be glazed and not nailed down, so that the body be not deprived of air and daylight, and ultimately burned, if the law will permit." He directs his executors to lay out in charitable and pious purposes 4,000,0000 f., in such manner as they may think proper. He bequeaths to the four brothers, Edward, Frederick, Charles, and Alfred Sartoris, now in England, 100,000 f. each. To Madame Alexander de Girandi, an alms of 100,000 f. for her hospital at Chattilla ; and there are other like bequests. That the family and other pensions shall be continued during the life of the recipients. The residue of his property he leaves between his said two nephews. If his nephew Henri is still a bach e l or , an d o f th e age o f s ixty, one-fourth of his share shall go to his brother and his children. DISCOVERY OF BODIES IN A PlT.—YesterdaY inquests were hold at Bewdley, on view of the Ore° bodies which were some little time ago discovered by charcoal burners in the shaft of a disused coal pit. S ° evidence was given to show how the children came to b° in the place where they were found. A surgeon who b B ` l examined the bones stated that ho believed the children had been murdered. The coroner advisz.d the jury to journ the inquiry until April next, and undertook to as' Government to offer a reward for the discovery of tll ' 3 perpetrators of the supposed crimes. The coroner's adv n9 was acted upon. SIIOCKINC, ACCIDENT.
