Cross-examined—From 1855 symptoms of paralysis ex hibited themselves, but he was perfectly sane at the period of the execution of the will. Sir J. Fergusson, M.P., said that he had m et the testator in the desert of Egypt in 1858, and travelled with him, and having had several conversa tions with him, he considered him perfectly s and in mind. In April, 1861, he called at the Oratory at Brompton and saw the testator. He spent about ten minutes with him, and ho appeared very weak, but there was not the slightest indication of his mind being affected. Cross-examined—His mouth was not drawn aside. His voice was low. He was not ill when he met him in the desert. He spoke huskily, like a man who had lost his voice through a cold, He told me on the desert that ho was suffering from cxhausti.:n, and that he had been ordered to leave for his health, By Court—He appeared very earnest in his religious mission, but there was nothing to induce a belief that he was of unsound mind. Dr. Barclay said he attended the testator, with Mr. Teggart, in 1860. The most remarkable symptom was paralysis of the tongue, which was of some standing, and, as he stated, he had a slight difficulty in swallowing, He was also generally weak. He thought that the paralysis was produced by a pressure on the nerves of the lower ex tremities of the brain, but sot in a way to affect the mind. His mind, at the time, was perfectly sound, lie did not see him again until May, 1863, and there was then a gene ral want of power over the body, but he was hi perfect pos session of his mental faculties, Other medical evidence to the same effect was adduced, Mr. David Lewis said he was acquainted with the testator from 1817, and visited him so late as six weeks before his death. He recollected having had conyersation with him in 1861, and he was aware that he was engaged in makirg a catalogue of the library at the Oratory at Brompton. He had received several letters from him, and he considered him a very intellectual man. He was a man of sound practical sense, and had not any extravagant notions about obedience to the Church. He never saw hint burst into tears, and he was a man who had great control over his feelings. In May, 1863, he had a long conversation with him, and he did not at that time speak of his being about to die. He was a man of strong will, and not of an imaginative turn of mind. The Rev. Mr Rowe said he formed the acquaintance of . . . . the testator at Cambridge, and was with him at the time of his death. He witnessed the will, and the testator was quite sane at the time of executing the instrument. The testator was a man more likely to influence others than to be influenced. He was certain that extreme unction was not administered to him. Had it been he (witness) must have known it, as he resided at Sydeaham, The case was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN MI C. T. PIZET. This bankrupt was described as formerly of Liverpool and Eastbourne, schoolmaster, and his Honour now gave judgment on the question of discharge. He said that in the whole course of his experience he had never had a case so bad before him, and he could scarcely describe the anxiety he had felt in coming to the conclusion. He then went through the facts, whhich have been before pub lished. The bankrupt was formerly a curate at Nuneaton at £5O, but left in debt, and went to Liverpool, where he opened a scholastic establishment, and was, according to his own statement, going on prosperously, but he then en• tered into speculation for which he had no right or pretence, and, without any capital, he had purchased the advowson of a church with borrowed money. He next purchased two houses in Liverpool, and afterwards 12 more, with not a farthing to pay for them Of his own; and he run into debt right and left, and borrowed money of every one he could ; besides this, he had invested £5OO in a company called the General Apothecary Company, and the greater part was lost. He afterwards came to London, whole he again entered into a speculation in taking a chapel, but he afterwards left, selling oft all his furniture. His Honour considered that all these were reprehensible, and rash and hazardous speculations, and had resulted in his failure and wretchedness. But there were another point in the case the very worst which he had ever heard, and that was the case of the poor old soldier Hanley, from whom he had borrowed all the money he possessed, and not only borrowed his ready money, but induced him to mortgage some property for £lOO, which he borrowed on the promise of paying interest at the rate of 71 per cent., which, however, he had not done, but had left the unfortunate man to pay interest on the mortgage money at £5 premium, or £2O per annum. He (kis Honour) considered this a base and wicked transaction. It was one of those cases in which he never felt more disposed to exercise the discretion allowed by the new Act, of sending the bankrupt to prison at once and he felt great difficulty in not doing so on the present occasion; but sad as his misconduct had been, there were circumstances which he would allow to weigh in the bank rupt's favour, especially 6s the creditors themselves had leniently spoken on his behalf, and ho had a large family of six children, It appeared that the bankrupt, who was no doubt a man of talent, had obtained an appointment as chaplain to a union and he had also got some pupils. To send him to White cross-street prison would therefore be to destrby him alto gether. Under all the circumstances, taking into conside ration that the bankrupt had already been without his dis charge for 18 months, and had been in prison in a state of great destitution, he should therefore suspend the order of discharge for 12 months more, with protection for one month, not to be renewed unless the creditor Hanley not merely consented but asked for its continuance, and if he did not protection would be withheld for six months. JUDGMENT,—IN RE ZACHARIAR PEARSON. His Honour then proceeded to give judgment in the case of this bankrupt, a shipowner and merchant of Nicholas. lane, City, and Hull. The case has been frequently and eo fully reported that it is only necessary to say that the only point raised in opposition by the assignees was, whether the bankrupt's transaction with the Confederate States of America, through which a loss most lamentable to the creditors ensued, those losses being only rut t by claims on the Confederate and Federal States of America for £— were rash and hazardous within the moaning of the act. The opposition by Mr, Bazley for Messrs. Pease, bankers, of Hull, and other creditors, were four :-Ist, That the bankrupt had traded with fictitious capital; 2d, vast and hazardous; 3d, that he had contracted debts without any reascteblo prospect of being able to pay ; and 4th, that the personal expenditure was excessive. His Honour went through the very lengthened argu ments which had been urged pro and con, and was of opi nion that the charge of not having reasonable prospect of being able to pay had not been made out ; but on the ground of rash and hazardous speculation, and trading with ficti tious capital, he must suspend the order of discharge for six months, but with protection. IN RE COL. WAI3GIr. In this case bail was put in for Col. Waugh, and Mr. C. B. Lewis, for the detaining creditor, being satisfied, the order of release was granted. IN RE WINDHAM. An adjudication was made in the case of Mr. Windham, of Felbrigg Hall , The p etition was p resented by Mr. Windham. The proceedings wero in Mr. Commissioner lane's court. Naval and Military Intelligence. '1 HE NAVY. Her Majesty's screw steamship Irresistible, 68 guns, 2,612 tons, which has been recently fitted for the pennant at Sheer ness and commissioned by Capt. John B, Dickson as Coast guard vessel in the Southampton Waters, in the place of the Dauntless, 31, was taken from her moorings in the har bour at Sheerness to the Maplin Sands, on the 21st inst., for the trial of her machinery at the measured mile. The vessel was in charge of Capt.W. Hall, C. 13,, chief of the Sheer , nem Steam Reserve, and the machinery was under the su perintendence of Mr. W. Rumble, inspector of machinery afloat at Sheerness during the trial. The engines, which are of 400 horse nominal power, end were built by Messra. John Penn and Sons, worked most satisfactorily. They were free from hot bearings and priming, and attained an average speed of 8 622 knots at full boiler power, pressure of steam 201 b, vacuum 27, revolutions of engines 64. Two runs were made at half boiler power, giving a mean speed of 7.233 knots, pressure of steam 181 b, vacuum 28, revolu tions 54. The draught of water during the trial was 23ft 7in forward and 25ft 3M aft. The Irresistible is fully rigged, has all her stores on board, and is waiting final orders for her departure. Ia consequence of the strong easterly wind the speed of the ,ship was not so great as could otherwise have been obtained. Her Majesty's screw corvette Sccut, 21 guns, and 400- horse-power, Capt. J. Corbett, was put out of commission and paid off into the Chatham Steam Reserve yesterday, under the superintendence of Capt. C. Wise. naval aide-de camp to the Queen. Tho Scout has been in commission nearly 5 years, and has been employed during the whole of that period in the Eastern waters, the coast of China, and the East Indies. Out of the crew who originally le t Eng land in the Scou t onl y about 100 men return in her, the re mainder having died or been invalided. During the time the Scout has been in commission there has not been on board any case of insubordination in which punishment was inflicted, For several days before she seas paid off a flag flaunted above her figurehead, on which were inscribed the words " Happy Scout." Before the ship's company sepa rated yesterday Capt. Corbett assembled the whole of them on the quarterdeck, when he briefly addressed them, ex pressing the pleasure it had afforded him to command such a well-conducted body of petty officers and men. He trusted it would be his goad fortune to meet many of them again in any other ship to which he might be appointed. The Scout will require extensive repairs before she is again placed in commission. The Dake of Cambridge, as Field Marshal Commanding in Chief, held a levee yesterday at the Horse Guards, Upwards of 80 cfficers attended the levee. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, -.---- WESTMINSTER. SINGULAR CASE OF CONFESSING GUlLT.—Hannah Cook, a woman between 20 and 30 years of age, was charged before Mr. Arnold upon her own confession, with stealing a coat from the house of Mr. John Robins, Danvers-street, Chelsea. The prosecutor said he was a tailor, and on last Wednes day week at eight o'clock in the morning he left his shop to go down stairs to his breakfast. On his return in a few minutes afterwards to the shop he missed a gentleman's coat, upon which he had been employed, He, of course, had no notion who had stolen it, but it was clear that the thief had entered from the street, as the shop door was found open, To prosecutor's surprise the prisoner entered his shop yesterday morning ant informed him that she was the person who had stolen his coat. That she had entered the shop during his absence, had taken it from his work board and had pawned it at Mr. Sowerby's, in Grosvenor row. She thou told him that she would bring him the pawnbroker's duplicate of his coat, in the even ing, if he pleased. As she did not come so soon as he expected, he mentioned the circumstance to the police, and he was going with a constable to the address she had _given him, where they met her, and she was then taken to the station, J. hn Basher, assistant to Mr. Sowerby, of Grosvenor row, proved that the coat which he pr(•duced had been pawned there on the 20th inst. R)bert Randall, 333 B, said that when be took the pri soner the told him where the coat was pawned, and said she could not produce the ticket, He was about to search for it when t he said it would be useless, as it was destroyed Prisoner said that she was very sorry, but she had com mitted the robbery, Mr Arnold asked whether she was known ? The police stated that there were reasons to believe that she had been previously convicted, She was remanded, in order that inquiries might be made. T 1 - IAINIE S. ATROCIOUS ASSAULT BY A HUSBAND ON HIS WIFE.— Charles Sanderson, a big man, about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with assaulting his wife. Patrick Maddigan, a Tolice•constable, No. GO K, stated that he was called into the dwelling of the prisoner yester day evening and found the wife bleeding copiously from two wounds on the head, She said that her husband had beaten her with a common long handled house broom. The witness produced the broom, a very heavy one, and said the prisoner, who was the worse for liquor, did not deny hav ing beaten his wife. The unfortunate woman was very ill, and could not leave her bed. She was quite sober. Mr Daniel Ross, surgeon, of No. 10, Commercial-place, Commercial-road, said he attended the prisoner's wife last night. She was in a very exhausted condition. He dressed her wounds. He had no doubt they were inflicted with the broom. Her arm was also bruised, He could not give any hopes of the poor woman being able to appear until Tuesday. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT Or A PUBLICAN.—SamueI Lloyd, an elderly man, appeared before Mr. Partridge, to answer two summonses taken out by Inspector Allison of the K division of polies. The defendant was charged that he being the landlord of the Orchard House public-house, Blackwell, did keep his house open for the sale of beer and spirits after twelve o'clock on the night of Saturday, the 9th inst., and also with permitting fighting and disorderly conduct in his house at the same time. vv The case was clearly made out last Thursday by William lye, a police. cfficer, who went into the house at half-past 12 o'clock and saw people served with liquors and beer. He left and returned to the house at one o'clock in the morn ing. There was fighting and quarrelling going on. The defendant was so drunk and acted so extravagantly while Ivo was giving his evidence, that Mr. Partridge said ho must postpone the case, and it again came on for hearing this day. The defendant, who was stated on Thursday to have been drunk for three weeks, now appeared to be sober. Inspector Allison said that the defendant was always considered to be the landlord of tho Orchard-house, and invariably acted in that capacity, but since Thursday he had ascertained that George Griffiths was the landlord. Mr Partridge—What name is over the door? Inspector Allison—None at all. I have seen and know Lloyd, and no one else. I have, to inform your worship, that on. the 10th of May last, George Griffiths was sum moned for illegal Sunday trading. The defendant appeared, answered to the name of George Griffiths, was fined 53., and paid the fine. Lloyd said he conducted the business for George Griffiths. Mr. Partridge dismissed the summonses, and ordered two others to issue for the attendance of George Griffidis on Thursday next, and that the licensing magistrates should be made acquainted with the defendant's conduct.

Mr. Hope Scott, Q.C., then at considerable length stated the case for the Midland Railway Company, the object being to em power that company to make a branch line of 1 mile 83 chains from their authorised extension into London, near St. Paul's-road, to join at Skinner's-place, Euston-road, railway to be constructed by the Metropolitan Railway from their main line near King's-cross, as proposed by the Metro politan Railway (Additional Powers) Bill, the lino to be completed within five years. Tile Midland Company also sought powers to contract with the Metropolitan Company for the working of the company's traffic over the Metropo litan Railway, to raise £153,000 by new ordinary or prefe rence stuck and £50,000 by mortgage. It was most im portant to the Midland Company that theso facilities should be granted them by parliament, nut only fur their extensive passenger traffic from the North, but for the conveyance of their large coal traffic into the metropolis, and to connect them with the London, Chatham, and Lover, and the other metropolitan railways. The principal opposition was on the part of the Great Northern Railway, who contended that if these powers were granted the Midland Company would be enabled to compete injuriously with them by the working and conveyance of their traffic over the Metropo litan, who would be necessitated at a large extra expense to lay down additional rails upon their line. After some further general statements, the committee adjourned until Monday, when evidence will be given in favour of the pro moters. The bill of the North British Railway, for their proposed Carlisle Citadel Extension line, was rejected in Mr. Hassard's committee. The case for the Bristol Port and Chanuel Dock was closed in Mr. Woodd's committee, when the Bristol Central Station Railways and the Bristol Port Extension Railways will be taken, and the three bills be de cided simultaneously. The bill of the Midland Railway for new lines of nine miles, between Normauton and the Cloud hill Lime Works, Leicester, for various other short branches, deviations, and requisition of lands, and to raise further sum of £166,000 as new ordinary capital and £58,000 by loan, was opened and evidence on the traffic case adduced. The committees on miscellaneous public improvements other than railways were chiefly occupied in the settlement of clauses. In the Lords, the opposition to the Regent's Canal proposed Limehouse basin improvement was taken, and ad journed to Monday. The Duke of Richmond's committee threw out the bill for the Flintshire Railway, and then took into consideration the proposed Redruth and Falmouth Junction Railway, for a line of 5 miles from the Cornwall Railway to Redruth, and another of 4 miles to the Falmouth Junction of the West Cornwall at Redruth, for which it is proposed to raise £BO,OOO and borrow £26,666. The bill for the Hoylake railway was withdrawn. The proposed ex tensions of the Newry and Armagh Railway occupied Lord Llanover's committee all day. The first is of 9 miles from Armagh to Dungannon ; the second of 12 miles, from Dun gannon to Cookstown ; and the third of 5 miles to connect the other two and to raise further sums of £275,000 and borrow £91,000.

INTERNATIONAL STEAM PLOUGH COMPETITION. --An opportunity is now open to English manufec wrers of steam ploughs to introduce them into use in France. The Regional Agricultural Show of the Loire is about to be held in the first week of — May, and the landed proprietors of that and the adjoining departments have invited all makers I of steam ploughs to compete for prizes in money and medals, offered to the successful competitors by them and the Minister of Agriculture. The ploughs are required either for deep-ploughing, ordinary ploughing, grubbing, or scarifying. The prizes are three in number: the first is £lOO and a gold medal; the second, 1;80 and a silver medal ; and the third, £4O and a bronze medal. ' In addition, there is a fund of £l6O to be divided equally between foreign exhibitors towards payment of their expenses, and the French railways will carry their implements at half price. The ploughs are regain(' to be on the ground by the :17th April, and the trial will take place from the 28th April to 7th May inclusively. The place of trial is Roanne, in the department of the Loire, about 12 hours journey by rail from Paris. A jury is to decide on the merits of the competing ploughs, and will be composed partly of French and partly of English members. The French members are Count Benoist d'Azy, E. Pepinlohalleur, Charles Jober, Tiersannier, and Pluchet. The English members are Wm. Fisher Hobbs, J Wilson, and T. J. Thackeray. The object of this competition is to introduce into the department of the Loire and the adjacent departments steam ploughs, the ordi nary ploughs having been found inefficient for the stubborn soil of the country. NEW ALLOY FOR SILVER COIN.—The French Academy of Science has received a paper from M. Pelizot, in which he examines the question of lower ing the standard of French silver from 900 milli grammes to 835; the difference of 65 mill. being ins tended to compensate for the increase of the value which silver has acquired since the discovery of Cali fornian and Australian gold. M. Pelizot states that the new alloy of 835 parts of silver and 165 of copper has been tried, and found to answer perfectly, except that it has a slight tinge of yellow. It struck him that this inconvenience might be remedied by substituting ',zinc for copper, and ho accord ingly commenced a series of experiments in the laboratory of the Mint on such alloys, viz., on an alloy of silver according to the present standard, in which zinc is substituted for the whole of the cop per ; on another alloy in w hich only a part of the copper is replaced by zinc ; and lastly, on certain alloys of silver and zinc in atomic proportions. All these alloys were carefully made under exactly the same circumstances : after melting the silver or the alloy of silver and copper, the crucible was taken out of the fire, and zinc wrapped up in paper was thrown in ; the mixture was well stirred, and then east into ingots. A small quantity of zinc is natu rally volatilised at the moment the combination is effected, and this loss must be taken into account in fixing the proportion of the metal. The alloys thus obtained are remarkably malleable, and easy to be assayed by the moist prceess. They are quite homogeneous ; and perfectly white. Compared to the alloys of copper containing the same quantity of silver, it appears that the ternary alloy ot 835 is at least as white as the common copper alloy at 900; and is consequently whiter than the one it is proposed to adopt with copper. The binary alloys of silver and zinc are, however, distinguishable from pure silver by a very slight yellowish !int. All the alloys described are much more fusible than the common one, very sonorous and elastic. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. GREECE. TRIESTE, April 22.

FLENSBURG, April 19. The following details of the storming of the Duppel intrenehments have been published at the Prussian hvadquarttrs:— FLExssuno, April 18. The Prussian assault upon Forts No. 1 to No. 6 took place simultaneously in six columns at 0 o'clock this morn ing. The Prussian flag waved above all the six forts by a quarter past 10. At 11, Forts No. 7, S, 9, and the newly- constructed works in rear of the first series were stormed, and Fort No. 10 capitulated. At half-past 12 the two strong works at the tete-de pont were carried. One of the bridges across the Alsen Sound was disconnected by the enemy ; the other was destroyed by the fire of our artillery. The enemy was then entirely dislodged from his strong position, and confined to Alsen. The attack upon Forts No. 1 to No. 6 was carried out by the Prussian infantry amid loud cheers, without firing a shot, under the most violent hostile small-arm and grape fire. The Rolfe Krake made her appearance when the forts were already carried and afforded cover to the troops, but the Prussian batteries soon compelled her retreat. The loss of the Prussian troops cannot yet be stated with even approximate certainty. Between 3,000 and 4,000 Danish prisoners, many of whom are officers, have been brought in. Fifty t , ) 0 guns were captured in the works, as well as a large number of flags. Immediately after the tete-de•pont was stormed, orders were given that the greater part of the troops and of the artillery should leave for Jutland to besiege Fzedericia and occupy the entire province." Further official details have been published to day, which. are as follows: his Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Field- Marshal (von Wrangel) witnessed the first part of the.attack from the height near the Gammelsmark battery, the second portion from the Spitzberg, and the termination from . a position further in advance, upon the Sonderborg-road. Two Staff officers were attached to each of the six storming parties to bring the Crown Prince and the Field-Marshal early reports of the progress of the attack. The storming parties were stationed at daybreak in the approaches and parallels, the reserves under cover in their rear, while all the batteries kept up an extremely violent fire upon the forts. One brigade was posted at the Sand berg, in order, according as circumstances might require, either to cross on pontoons and in boats to Mem, or to divert the enemy's attention by a demonstration in that direction. . With the stroke of 10 all the batteries in the front ceased fire, and all six storming columns broke out under loud cheers simultaneously from the foremost parallel. The enemy met them with a violent fire from small arms and grape, but nothing was able to arrest the impetuosity of the attacking fetes, which hurried on without firing a shot. By 12 the entire line of forts, together with the tetes rle port, were in our hands. The Danish man-of. war Skjold, carrying 84 guns, lay cff the shore, but did not attempt to take part in the engagement, Our loss cannot yet be ascertained. That of the enemy is ap parently much greater. Two Danish Generale were left dead on the field ; 3,000 to 4,000 prisoners, many being officers, and two regimental commanders, have been brought in ; 50 to 80 guns, with numbers of colours, have been taken. The brigade at the Sandberg was unable to cross, owing to the opposite shore being too strongly occupied, hut its object was attained by a diversion of the enemy's force being caused. The bravery of all the troops under fire is beyond all praise. All the arrangements for the storm were made in so masterly a manner by his Royal Highness Prince Frederick Cbafies, and so admirably carried eut the various com manders, that this glorious deed of arms was effected within two hours. The following report is publisbed.by the Schleswig- Ho/stein News : " The forts were taken by the Prussians in less than 20 minutes, after a desperate resistance on the part of the Danes, who were forcibly driven on by their officers. As no firing could take place at such close quarters, a horrible butchery ensued.;The Danish losses in killed are enormous ; in some places 10 and 12 corpses lay ono across another ; the ground was torn up, and great pools of blood covered the surface. Tho number of Danish prisoners is from 2,200 to 2,800, among whom are about 60 officers, Although the Prussian loss cannot be inconsiderable, it stands in no comparison to that of the Danes. The fight was afterwards continued behind the forts. All the guns fell into the hands of the Prussians. Fort No. 2 was de fended with the utmost bravery by Lieutenant Anker, who has been taken prisoner. He spiked the guns with his own hands, while tears stood in his eyes, and was then compelled to surrender with his men." Another report sa3 s, — The number of prisoners is positively stated as nearly 5,000, among whom 80 aro officers. It may be expected that this estimate is rather too low than too high, for very many Danes were cut off by the impetuosity of the Prussian. ad vance. Four entire battalions surrendered. The following despatch is from a reliable source : The batteries armed upon the 18th immediately after the. storming of the forts opened fire at 4 p.m , t he same day upon the batteries on Alsen, one of whi ch, ne ar Sonderborg is said to be provided with Arm s t rongs . The cannonade lasted until night. 2,500 Danes h ave b een brought throuGh Flensburg. Gen. von Rave n h as un d ergo ne amputation.
