The will of John B o wyer Nichols, Esq., of Han ger-hill, Ealing, Middlesex, and of 25, Parliament street, was proved in London on the 6th inst. by his sons and executors, John Gough Nichols, Robert Cradock Nichols, and Francis Morgan Nichols, Esqrs. The personalty was sworn under £160,000. The will is purely of a family nature, dated 1860, and has three codicils, dated 1861-2-3. The testator has left his property amongst his sons and daughters, in various proportions, describing the estates and properties each are to possess, making a liberal provision for his unmarried daughter, and a further provision for his other daughters beyond their marriage settlement, and appointing his three sons residuary legatees ; his eldest son to receive all his MSS. and to select works from his private library to the value of £2,000 ; also some presentation-plate to be held as heirlooms. The will of William Tooke, Esq., late of Bedford row, Russell-square, was proved in London, by the executors, Arthur William Tooke, Es y. -,, the son, and Wm. Hollowes, Esq., the personalty being sworn under £140,000. To his son he leaves his real estates, situated in Essex, Herts, Middlesex, and elsewhere, and all the residue of his personal property. To his two daughters are left bequests in addition to their settlement on marriage, and to each of his nine grandchildren a legacy of £2,000. Legacies are also left to several other members of his family and to personal friends. We find that the statement of Mr. Stewart Marjori banks's will contained in our impression of the 31st ult. was in some respects incorrect.

How ever, the last mails from Europe have brought here the reports of speeches made in Great Britain, by members of our Government, as well as by one of that denomination of the representatives of the IV ashington Cabinet known as the " quasi Envoy." Without it being necessary to quote at length from, or to refer more than generally to the details of the " ad dresses" of our Attorney-General and Mr. H. Beecher, it will be seen by any person who reads the speeches alluded to, that upon one point there is, to a great degree, a coin cidence of opinion between the exponent of British policy and the semi-official agent of the governing politicians of the Southern States. Mr. Beecher states what ho must know is contrary to fact—viz., that general good feeling towards "Great Britain and the British" is the rule in the Northern States. Sir g. Palmer gives, I admit, a " safer" opinion, but an igno rant one :—" There is (he says) not that unfriendly feeling toward this country on the other side of the Atlantic which some seemed to think." It may appear rude and dogmatic to describe the two statements as I have done, but if persons volunteer opinions upon matters of importance to my countrymen relative to matters of fact in this country, and which opinions a nearly three years' experience here of " men, manners, and things," enables me to declare are erroneous, 1 really am obliged, for the sake of required brevity, to in dulge in no circumlocution. I have Dither object nor intention to follow those who, for party or other purposes, try to " make things pleasant," which had much better be known in their reality, and looked in the face. If Sir R. Palmer had been delivering an opinion upon a strictly legal matter—even if a lawyer, 1 would have been diffident in contradicting him; but I am certain that if ho had taken the trouble to collect fair " evidence ' upon the "case" i n question, instead of stating to his audience—as he did in effect --that "some persons" exaggerated the ill feeling towards England, stated to exist on this side of the Atlantic, he would have been obliged, in truth, to admit that any exa ggeration, in the ordin ar y sense o f the word, could be hardly possible. It is ray wish to inflict on your readers and myself as little in the way of any disquisition upon the "feeling" or " sentiment" of the majority of persons in the Northern States, as possible. As to the Southern, not having been there, and under the peculiar circumstances of their case, it would be presumptuous in me to refer to them on the sen timent part of the matter further, at present, than to hope that the future impartial historian will be able to describe to his readers, that the course pursued towards the South by our country has been consistent with our international precedents; and that the working of that always baneful thing called fanaticism, together with the more indirect action of various pecuniary " interests"—forming a part, but only a part, of the nation—have not, inter alio, led to "some," and to injusti ce i n many, " on our s id e h 3 pocrisY in of the Atlantic." There is one circumstance which may possibly have escaped the notice of those who have listened to, or read, the assertions of those quasi agents of the Washington diplomacy (and in that category I include that small por tion of the "British" press, and the political organisation in Great Britain and Ireland, which, very common report states, are afflicted, a subsidised ranefication of the ruling political parties and factions of the " U.S.A.") and that is—Why, if there is so much good feeling towards Eng land as these clerical and lay quasi-envoys allege, do they not produce to their British audiences some signs and tokens of it ? Why do not these " practical men," when they return to their country, at least deprecate to their Ame rican audiences the senseless violence of the anti-British feeling which they admit exists among some of the news papers and some of the "orators," and so forth? As a matter o f fact, I defy any one of these quasi -envoys, or their friends in England, to show that in this country— say for the last two years —there has b 'en one bona fide effort made by any public man to do anything, by speaking or writing, of a sustained nature to create any good feeling in the minis of the American people towards Great Britain and the British, If there are the "thinking, sober, second thought" people in the U.S. that Bishop Wllvaine, Mr. Weed, and Mr. Beecher wrote and talked of, why do they " make no sien ?" However, it must be admitted—and assuming there is 'free speech" in this country—that if the most frantic hatred of our country and people is the general character istic to which the masses of all political classes of each sex, and of every age, have either worked themselves, or been worked into, we British may wonder and regret it for both nations' sake, but we cannot formally or officially complain- But what I do complain of is the organised attempt to h,untbug esy c ountrymen which has been, and i s b e i ng, practised. I must admit it is difficult fur those who know the truth in this country to " read with re asona b le temper t h e as sertions made a s to the good feeling to England. S uc h may exist in t he minds of the q uasi -e nvoys, or in the moon, but assuredly has no place in the politicians in the aggregate, or in the majority of the people of the Northern States—that is, if words and actions are criterions. One of these demi-diplomats—Mr. Thurlow Weed—has been often talked of, and described by himself and others as having rendered " immense services" to the cause of the Washington Government when in Europe. Although most of your readers never, probably, heard of the gentleman, it is a matter, now, of published American history, th at he was despatched by the Washington Cabinet, with Bishop Wllvaine and Archbishop Hughes, each in hi s way and " district" ae prop a g ate the " good cause and Abraham Lincoln," as one of the semi-official press in New York de scribed it. Mr. T. Weed probably affords a tolerably fair specimen of the " material " considered necessary for, and of the course persued by the Washington quasi -envoy, and therefore I shall conclude this letter by a necessarily (for post) rapid sketch of this one out of the many so-called diplomats sent, as they are described in American phraseo logy, to "instruct John Bull and the female Bulls." It was announced in sundry Northern journals, in and about January, 1862, that " Mr. Thurlow Weed was to go to England and France as a diplomatic agent." Having inquired from persons well acquainted with the " pro vincial" politicians, I was informed Mr. Weed was con sidered one of the most astute and able " managers ;" or, as they are named, " wire-pullers " of the New York State Legislature, and the right-hand man of Mr. Seward in domestic-political managements as to elections, and so on. It was also stated that ho had rendered many under obliga tions to him, in the matter of contracts, &e. Be this as it may, at the period mentioned (January 1862), a letter ap peared in the various journals, Mr. Weed's own amongst the number, stating that be had observed the references to him, ascribing a sort of official character to his intended "visit to Europe," but that it was a mistake, that he let tended going, but only on his own affairs." Well, he did go, and at intervals there were letters in the journals here from him,mentioning, among many things that are now for gotten by me, but which can be referred to if it were neces sary, as I kept all the newspaper notices, that he was re ceived "in the highest society with the greatest cordiality," that Earl Russell had favoured him with several interviews, and that not only he found persons in England inclined to make things pleasant, but that he had managed to make them still pleasanter for the cause of the Washing ton Cabinets. This was about the substance of the com munications, se far as the pu blic w ere concerned, that reached hero until the return of the " quasi-envoy," as he at length admitted himself to be, to Now York iu June, 1862. " Ovations," "serenades," and the other demonstrations usual in this country, where p o p u lar and " pronainent " men arrive in large cit. es — greeted Mr. Weed. Your readers will probably excuse my referring further to the speeches made on those occasions, except that they appeared very sa ti s factory to all "con cerned," One of the journals stated, that " probeabllvy it would never be known outside, and onl y in th Cabinet, what immense services Mr. Weed had , rendered ae his country." It is true al l the newspapers w ere not so but the dm nothing went c o mplimentary; one or two asserted Mthr. a Wee w rely but a "jobber" as he always to make money by buying rifles, cheap, to sell them in, N e vertheless, all parties and to the "U. 5. , " ver y dear. agreed that Mr. Weed was a , e , - ery " smart man," and had " got the better of John a Bull ion, account appeared in wh a t S om e two months since, e is called the Government organ here, the Netv York Times, Aviously furnished by the " quasi-envoy." It stated among very man y other things that he (Mr. Weed) h a d b y h i s diplomatic acutnese and energy, prevented the Franch Government remonstrating on the subject of the "stone fleet," and the intended but abortive effort to choke up the harbours of the Southern States, and mentioned incident ally that he had reminded the French minister (Count de Morny) " that there was no miscreaucy England had not been guilty of in order to extend her dominions," that "she was steeped up to the armpits in the blood of innocent, unarmed Sepoys," and the account proceeds to give other congenial and relevant arguments stated to have been used by him with such effect, that the intended article in the French Emperor's address to the Senate, &c., remonstrating against the " stone fl ee t" was not only struck out, but (Mr. Weed stated) he received praise from French ministers, and certainly received applause from "politicians" here for 7 `;/')/ - -0/ d-d; 2 4.N PA P E rt PR1CE..........4d.

THE CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AUSTRA- LIAN MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Ripon, Captain E. Christian, arrived at Southampton at noon yesterday with the heavy portion of these mails. She brought 78 passengers (viz., 29 first-class, 35 second-class and Dervants, 11 children, and 3 deck). On freight she had £12,473 2s, 6d. in specie, 830 bales and 10 cases of silk, 8 cases of plants, 21 packages of elephants' tusks, 4 casks of wine, and 145 packages of general mer chandise. a lV d i 1 J i m rn u A ri r t m e d s t o r o n n ga'ns ordinarygun weighs gun cr o of the : faun. to nBsi,r n of great size and st rengt h .

The grooves are 10 in number, .und turn once in 65 calibres. In its constructiau differs but little franc the Other large muzzle-lea:T.- ing guns manufactured under Sir William Arm strong's direction, consistieg of a number of coiled tubes of enormous strength shrunk one upon the other. The thickness of the walls of the gun at the breech is 20 . 85 inches, the total diameter at the trunaions being 55 inches. It carries a conical cast iron hollow-headed shot, weighing 5101 b., or a shell of ordinary construction weighing 6001 b., and ca pable of containirg a bursting charge no less than 401 b. of powder. The charge used yesterday with shot was 70h., with shell 6011). Although the experiments were to have raom menced at half-past 10 , th e first s hot was not fired until after 12. By the time everything was realty the interest of the spectators had reached thee highest pitch, and it was amid exclamations of surprise and wonder from even veteran artillerists than the men serving the gnu put into it and. rammed home first the powder, looking like a tolerable bolster, and next the conics'_ east-iron hollow-headed shot, measuring nearly -30 inches in length by 13.3 inches in diameter, and. weighing as much as a small faenily. The shot is first placed in a cradle and lifted :to the mouth of the gun by means of movable shear legs provided with blocks and pulleys. The cradle, hinges on to a couple of hooks on the mouth of the piece , and holds the p on d erous s h o t i n t h e pro p er poriition for being rammed h ome .

The last bugle was eounded, and the great gun was fired forihfirs t time, The ponderous shot barst fro m the mouth of the piece with a terrific rush and roar, strikingthe sand at about 700 yards from the shore, leaping and dash ing onward, ricochetting five o r six times, and finally burying itself near th e 4,000 yards' target_ A rush was of course immediately made to the gum to see its condition, An attentive examination, however, soon proved that not the slightest injury had been sustained by it in auy part ; in fact, that it was what every one knew it would turn out to be—a perfect piece of workmanship. Two more shots were then to be fired at the same elevation, the second and third reportsbeing apparently rather less loud than the first. It was a matter of frequent observation during the day that the report of this gigantic piece of artillery was much less than its size would have led one to predict. The next three rounds were fired at an elevation of 2 deg., after which followed three at 5 deg., and three at 10 deg. Three dead shells weighing 6001 b, each were then fired with charges of 601 b., a3oolb. round shot with a charge of 701 b. completing the day's experiments. The acuracy of the firing is also a very remark able feature. The deviation, as will bo seen from the following results of firing each round, was -au ueually small : Round Charge.

Between Alex andria and Malta she experienced north westerly winds, with occasional heavy squalls, accompanied by rain and thick weather; from Malta to Gibraltar strong variable winds, with heavy squalls, rain, and thick weather; and the remainder of the voyage light airs and fine weather. During the passage home the followin g steam ships were spoken by the Ripen :—Nov. Bth, the Ceylon, lat. 33.5 N., long. 24.35 E.; 9th, the Vectis, lat. 34.25 N., long. 20 E.; 11th, the PoDnah, lat. 37.32, long. 9.50 E. ; 15th, the Iberia, off Tarifa ; and 16th, the Florida, off Cape Roca. At Alexandria on the 7th were the French fri gate Perdrix and the usual Egyptian fleet. Her Majesty's ships Queen and Gibraltar were at Malta on the 10th, and the Racoon, 1-1, cdpole, and Proeris at Gibraltar on the 15th. The Swedish frigate Vanadis, Captain Haver man, 43 days from Carlscrona, calling at Copen hagen, Portsmouth, and Lisbon, arrived at Gibraltar on the 12th instant, and remained there when the Ripon left. On her arrival the frigate saluted the garrison with 21 guns, which compliment was ro • turned immediately from the saluting battery, and she also saluted the Swedish Consul with nine guns. The Spanish screw sloop Concordia, 2, Lieut Campos, left Malaga on the sth inst., for the pena settlement of .Melilla, having on board M. A. Merry y Colon, the Spanish Cnarge d'Affaires at the Court of Morocco, the Spanish Consul, and two Moors. She also carried 85,000 dollars from the Morocco treasury to indemnify the Riffians, and terminate the difference regarding the limits ceded by the late treaty. The Spanish papers contain an account, extracted from the Cuba journals, of the destruction of a Spa nish steamer by fire, attended by fearful loss of life In its main features the story has a great resent• blance to that of the Amazon, which was burn' some years ago on her voyage from Southampton to the West Indies. Like the Amazon, the Spa nish steamer (the Mexico) was on her first voyage. She was plying on the line between Vera Cruz and the Havannah, and left the former port on Oct. 12. On the following day, when 90 miles from land, be tween Capes Catoche and San Antonio, a fire broke out in the cargo and spread with great rapidity, baf fling all the efforts made to check it. The account of what followed is derived from 16 persons who were saved in one of the boats. They say that they suc ceeded in launching one of the boats and getting clear of the ship; that they lay off at a short' dis tance, some 40 or 50 yards, in order to save others who might have courage to throw themselves into the water. The scene on board in the meantime was most heartrending. Seventy passengers were left on board ; the flames were rapidly spreading over the vessel, driving the poor creatures for a short refuge to the poop. The shrieks and gestures of despair of some were mixed with frantic and con tused efforts of others to save themselves. These last, acting under the influence of terror and despair, and without order or method, defeated their own object. One boat that was lowered was dashed to pieces against the accommodation ladder. Another, when lowered, got loose from the tackles and floated away empty. A third, which remained alongside, was sunk by the numbers who jumped into it. A few minutes after this last catastrophe the whole ship was a mass of fire, and after a short time filled and went down. The 16 persons who had got away in the first boat endured great hardship, and were five days without provisions. They at last reached the shore between the River Legarto and Cape Catoche. Here they fell in with a boat which con veyed them to Sisal. The following British merchant steamers had arrived out at Gibraltar :—Nov. 7, the Sicilian, Cap tain J.
