The Official Journal of the Two Sicilies, of the 9th, after recounting the fact of three political refugees, I nterdonato, Savona, and Scarperia having I•lnded :near Messina, states that when the house in which they were was surrounded by the armed force, they -nevertheless contrived their escape under favour of the darkness of the night ; but that subsequently two of them namely, Interdonato and Scarperia, Surrendered to the authorities of the commune of Giardini to take their trial. Cardinal Fornari, died suddenly at Rome, on the 15th, aged 66. ROME, June I6.—The opinion of the Roman Go vernment on the Eastern question appears to be anti-Russian, and may be seen in the selection of news in the official journal, where the Turkish successes figure as prominently as Russian achieve ments do in the Bourbonic organ of Naples, King Ferdinand being devoted body and soul t o th e Czar's cause. His Neapolitan Majesty may indeed get into some trouble with the Western Powers if he continues to show his partiality quite as dis tinctly as at present. Under pretext of the strictest neutrality he has recently prohibited the exportation of that great staple of Sicilian cam- Merce, sulphur, in spite of the treaty with England, besides horses, cattle, hay, straw (the export of corn was already prohibited), and everything else which by the greatest ingenuity can be construed into contraband war stores, so that his subjects, by the failure of last year's crops, having no oil or Wine to export as usual, and being deprived of other resources, find themselves reduced to a per fect commercial stand-still. The warlike demon strations of -the Papal government continue on a striall scale on the western coast, and the diminu tive steamers San Giovanni and Archimede still cruise about off Porto D'Anzio, prudently towing a piece of cannon in a gunboat, in ordernot to en danger their own timbers by the concussion of a discharge. The land forces of his Holiness have been diminished ,by the desertion en masse of 40 Swiss soldi ers f rom the garrison of Macerata---a Circumstance which has not a little afflicted the government, as showing a spirit of disaffection in the battalions most relied upon. SPAIN. None of the Madrid journals appeared on the 1 0th, that day being Monday but a letter from a Ministerial source says :—" Five persons arrested 'within the last few days have been sent off in a Post-carriage, under a strong escort, for the Bal earic Isles, where they are to be placed at the dis posal of the Civil Governor. They are journalists of a low order, and have passed all their lives in C onspiracies. The newsmongers of the Puerta del Sol announce that it is on the 24th of this month, St. John's Day, that the long-talked -of insurrec tion is to take place. The police, however, are on their guard, and will know how to re-establish order, if, contrary to all serious probability, it should be disturbed. The news from the provinces With respect to the loan are most satisfactory ; e verywhere subscriptions are being zealously made. REFORMERS TO THE RESCUE. That very commendlle measure—the Public revenu e and Consolidated Fund Charges Bill—i s to be considered in the House of Commons this evening. Every Reformer will, of course, be pre sent to supp or t it. By th e i n t ro d ue ti on o f t hi s 141 1 Mr. Gladstone has gained golden opinions from XLen of all classes. The object of the measure being 1, 0 put th e w h o l e o f th e t axes un d er th e con t ro l o f arliament, those who are interested in keeping up useless civil servants, or in perpetuating any under 'and dippings into the public purse, are sure to ri m uster , strongly to oppose the Chancellor's plan. the more the need, th e r e f ore , for every Ref ormer ' be at his post to-night. The organ of the Tories, the other day, trade a howl in favour of keeping s erile Irish officials out of the operation of the bill. , Was a strange thing to see the organ of Orange letn coming forth as the champion of what looked Zastly like a Romanist scheme for keeping clear of i t larliamentary control. Opposition may doubtless he expected again from the same sources, but no good reforming measure can hope to pass without s truggle through a House of Commons so strangely constituted as the present one. But the difficulties bow' before Mr. Gladstone's beat bill can 'only ren der all the more complete his credit if he carries it s afely th roug h. M r . W. Willi ams f or y ears urge d 'exliament to permit no portion of the taxes to be 13 Pent by those who gathered them. Mr. Gladstone now worthily strives to carry out this suggested 'ecal reform ; and we therefore repeat—we can sc arcely do so too often—let all true Liberals rally round him to-night.—Daily News.

The sport in Hampshire will commence on Wednes day at Stockbridge, and terminate on Friday at Win chester. The preparations for its due celebration are in active progress, and the meeting at the first-mentioned place is likely to be attended by the leading aristocracy of the turf. Few features of general interest mark the programme for the opening day, which will be devoted almost exclusively to the equestrian exploits of the gen tlemen of the Bibury Club. On Thursday, however, no shortcomings will be displayed in the supply of sport, and no lack of public interest will characterise the pro ceedings. Six items are contained in Wednesday's list, including two handicaps, a two-years-old race, a three-years-old race, and two selling plates. Of these three have yet to close. The difficulty of selecting a winner from the horses weighted for the Bibury Stakes would perhaps, be somewhat obviated, could the riders be ascertained with, any degree of accuracy, for, with amateur jockeys, the race is seldom either to the swift or to the strong. Panto mime, Waterfall, and Cock Pheasant, seem entitled to some notice. For the Champagne Stakes, Oulston is liable to a penalty of 81bs, but notwithstanding this additional impost, I shall not, should his owner be in clined to start him, deem his chance of achieving success utterly destroyed. The animals likely to be arrayed. against him apparently possess the slenderest racing pretensions. Should Oulston, however, be withdrawn, William the Third shall do battle for me. The once for mida'le Autocrat is among the seven nominations for th e 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes, but I presu - me that his absence may be calculated upon with some certainty. Whether the stake will even occasion a contest is some what doubtful. The Empress Catherine may secure the prize. Long lists of nominations are appended to the five stakes which have already " closed" for the Stockbridge Meeting, " Triennials" constituting the leading items in the programme. The Triennial Stakes for 4 years old will, perhaps, be carried off by Cobnnt. Report states that Andover is not likely to start for the Triennial Stakes for three years old, but at present it certainly lacks confirmation. His 71bs penalty for winning the Derby, will scarcely militate against his success, although in Ivan he will unquestionably encounter a formidable antagonist. For the Two-yrs-old Triennial I shall select the intended of Mr. Bowes's lot, and Joshua. Oulston and Border Chief will undoubtedly be, despite their extra Wtight, the most trustworthy competitors for the Moltisfont Stakes. For the Stewards Plate I shall select Rrtaplan and Hermit. The extra 51bs. which the latter will have to carry, may cause his Ascot running with Rataplan to be reversed. The Winchester Meeting will certainly form an insig nificant "tail piece" to the sport at Stockbridge. For the Hampshire Stakes my fancies are Lascelles and Cleveland. The Grange Park Stakes will, perhaps, be carried off by either Titmouse or Mary. Mr. Thomas Arber, the respected proprietor of the London Club, is not, I am happy to state, dead, as was reported a few days ago. He is recovering slowly from his recent severe illness. His sufferings have been most acute, and at one time it was feared that his foot would have to be amputated to save his life. All symptoms of mortification have, however, disappeared. June 26.

The premises in which the r o - n n flagration began belonged to Messrs. Morgan and 13 , rope, line, and twine, manufacturers, and formed a considerable portion of that part of Bermondsey termed the Blue Anchor-road, Jamaica-level, and were ripened by the equally extensive rope factory be- Zing to Messrs. Ellis and Barwood, so that, when discovery was made, it became clearly manifest t hat unless the flames could be extinguished in their in cipient stage, a fearful fire would follow, and unfortu ,4- ,ately the latter has proved to be the case. Owing to Erie combustible nature of the building, formed as it was rineipally of light timber, the fire extended with such neazing rapidity, that before an engine had time to r each the sp o t th e e n tire structure in which the misfor tune commenced was levelled with the ground, from ; nence the devastating element extended to the covered ,?Pe factory and walks, and also to the spacious store. houses, In the last-named premises was deposited Property of great value, amongst which were many tons cl Manilla hemp and jute, worth 751. per ton. NEUTRALITY OF BRAZIL.—The Brazilian Government has answered the Anglo-French communication relative Lti the rights and duties of neutrals during the actual war. No privateer under Russian colours can be fitted °let or provisioned, or admitted with its prizes into any t°rt of Brazil. Brazilian subjects will have rigorously 0 - abstain from taking part in the fitting out of privateers, ° rin any other measure contrary to the duties imposed by strict neutrality. 2 THE PRUSSIAN LOAN.—A letter from Berlin of the C•th states that the half of the loan of thirty millions of „ 'Palers, voted by the Chambers in April last, has been t eEnitively conceded to the See Handlung, or Maritime r i, F rederic Company. This company was founded by the Great, in 1772, with a capital of 1,200,000 paiers for carrying on the salt trade with England, ran ee , and Spain ; but as it did not answer the ideas 10 exned by its founder, the State, which had re served to itself 2,100 - shares of 500 thalers, took 't into its exclusive direction in 1782. It was '! o elexed to the Finance Department in 1808, and i n 1847 was transferred to that of the Minister 3 Direction In 1820 it was reorganised, under the title of rrection General of the Company for Maritime Corn 'u• eree. It became a commercial institution of the State, I ndependent of the Ministry, and is managed by a re sponsible royal commissioner, who has full and unlimited Powers for carrying on all its operations. The company directs, as formerly, the purchase of salt from England, Prance, and Portugal, and delivers the necessary quantities to the entrepots on the coast, from Whence the trade is afterwards supplied. The company also manages for the government all financial affairs, Without distinction both abroad and at home. The State guarantees all its operations, and all the engage tuents it may enter into, and exercise a surveillance over it by means of a commission. This company, which has Just charged itself with the neweloan at 44 per cent., at the high rate of 96, will issue it on the Ist of July. The government has bound itself to the company not to con cede the remaining half of the loan before the Ist of October, but it is free to make the concession of it to ILLNESS OF M.

THE SUN, 'LONDON, MONDAitEVENING: JIINE 26, 18544 MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderate ; neverthe less, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy at drooping prices. There was a moderate inquiry for grinding barley at full currencies. Oats, beans, and peas were held on former terms ; but other articles were neglected'. Our latest advices from New York state that flour was dull in sale at drooping prices. The business doing in most of the continental markets on English account is by no means extensive. Very limited supplies of English grain were received fresh up to our market last week. The imports of foreign produce amounted to 22,870 quarters of wheat, 1,735 barley, 15,684 oats, 492 beans, 70 peas, 15 tares, 7,223 linseed, 327 rapeseed, 47 sundry seeds, 1,171 sacks and 7,163 - barrels of flour. Compared with Monday last the receipts of English wheat fresh up to this morning's market, coastwise from Essex and Kent, were on the increase ; yet they were small, even the time of year considered. By land carriage tEe arrivals were limited. Oa the whole the attendance of buyers was good, and we had a fair inquiry for really fine %;vheat, at last week's currency. Low and middling qualities moved off slowly, and the quotations were mostly ls. per quarter beneath the currencies of this day sen'- night. 1 For forward delivery next to nothing was doing. We were again - Well supplied with foreign wheat, espe cially from the near continental ports. Good heavy quali ties changed. hands to a fair extent, at full quotations. Few parcels were dull, and rather in favour of buyers. The few floating cargoes reported off the coast were offer ing on rather easier terms. The demand for them was heavy. The supply of barley was small. Grinding parcels were firm, at full prices. All other kinds were dull, and nomi nal in value. , There was very little doing in malt, on former terms. Oats, the supply of which was moderate, moved off steadily, but we have no change to notice in prices. Beans met a slow inquiry, on former terms. The demand for peas was wholly in retail, at late rates. The sale for flour ruled dull, at barely last week's quo tations. The supply of foreign was good. CURRENCY PER IMPEatAL MEASURE.

'The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, was rather limited, and we observed a decided falling off in their general weight and condition. The primest Scots, from their scarcity, moved off freely, and in some instances prices had an upward tendency, 5s per 81bs having been realised for them ; but all other breeds met a slow sale, at last Monday's currency. The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 1,600 Scots and short-horns ' • from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 230 horned and polled Soots. There was rather an extensive supply of sheep in the market. Prime old Downs were comparatively scarce, and in but moderate request, on former terms. All other breeds moved off slowly, and last week's curriencies were barely supported—indeed, in. some instances, heavy breeds were 2d per 81bs lower. Lambs, the numbers of which were good, sold slowly, but we have no change to notice in their value. The top figura was 5s 10d rer 81bs. We were heavily supplied. with calves, which moved off slowly, at last week's, decline. In pigs very little was doing, on former terms.

Although the amount of business doing in our market is by no means extensive, the late advance in the quotations is supported. The plantation accounts are still unfavour able, and the duty has been called 90,0001. to 95,000/. Last week's imports were 4 bales from Rotterdam, 140 ditto from Hamburgh, 18 ditto from Ostend, and 16 ditto from Antwerp. Mid and East Kent pockets, 71. lOs to 101.

The supply of old potatoes continue seasonably good, but the demand is heavy, at from 100 s to 190 s per ton. New qualities are coming freely to hand. English are selling at from lOs to 12s per cwt., and foreign 7s Gd to 8s Gd per basket. Last week's imports were 12,916 baskets from Rotterdam, and 200 sacks from Dublin. WOOL. Since our last report so little business has been doing in this market that the quotations have ruled nominal. The imports have amounted to 664 bales from Port Fairy, 57 from Trieste, 111 from Hamburgh, 2,103 from Melbourne, 138 from Seville, 1,200 from Sydney, and 96 from Callao. The following are the nearest quotations of English wool : South-down hoggets, is to is Id ; half-bred hoggets, lld to is ; ewes, clothing, lld to is ; Kent fleeces, is to is Oid ; combing skins, 106 d. to is ; flann e l woo l, 10d. to is ; blanket wool, 7d to ls ; and Leicester fleeces, 10d to is per lb.

Mali. By the author of "Digby Grand." 2 vols. Chapman and Hall. ,I These " Passlges in the Life o f an U nsuccessful Man" were originally published in the Sporting Magazine, and the favourable reception they met 1 . with has induced the author to publish them in their present form. It is to be hoped they will prove a contrast to the list of failures so amus ingly recounted. The hero of the autobio graphy is seized with the desire of achieving fame and distinction by his success and dex terity in field sports. In these, however, ho does not a t ta i n the celebrity he desires. A series of untoward accidents always intervenes to defeat his.obje c t ; and, after a long catalogue of mistakes and mischances, he is forced to style himself an unsuccessful man. To add to his troubles, he marries an attractive widow, who does not appear so amiable and charming as Mrs. Nogo, as she did as Mrs. Montague Forbes. Sportsmen will find many characteristic accounts of foxhounds, harriers, steeplechas'es, and such subjects, and the general reader will not fail to be entertained by the narra tive which is not so technical in style as to be te dious to the uninitiated. It is not devoid of some slight romance, as the introduction of the follow ing graceful song proves : " THE DAYS WHEN WE MET." " There is mirth in the sunshine, there's peace in the shade, There's the fragrance of June on the flowe r ; There is love in the whisper that steals through the glade— But the sunshine may pale, and the roses may fade, And the skies may be dark in an hour; And the heart may grow weary—the brain may forget-- And the loved one be changed since the days when we met. There is morning to hope for, when darkness is past ; There's a dawn that shall smile into day ; Though the winter be chill, and unsparing the blast, Yet the flow'ret shall bloom in its spring-time at last, And the bird carol forth from the spray. But the heart bath no morrow, when its sunlight is sei And its music is hushed since the days when we met." At the close of the volume is a paper on " Scotland and the Moors," relating exploits in grouse shooting and deer stalking. The following extract is from the concluding soliloquy of Mr. Tilbury Nogo : " Like many a wiser and better man, I have been the victim of an unworthy ambition—not the noble infirmity which urges the aspirer to be great—not the heaven-born sentiment which impels him to be good ; but the paltry, and unmanly thirst for frivolous distinction, which, et igi nating in vanity, finds its end in disappointment and dis gust. Not satisfied to take the sports and amusements of life as I found them, it has been my desire to raise for my self a kind of spurious fame for proficiency in pursuits which, after all, deserve but to be the pastime of an idle hour, and even this worthless distinction I have failed to attain. When the man who had spent a lifetime in learn ing to balance peas on the point of a needle, was brought before Alexander, the conqueror of the world ordered him the appropriate recompense of a packet of needles and a bushel of peas. Alas !my proficiency has not even de served the Macedonian's sarcastic guerdon. Money, time, and perseverance have been wasted, and I cannot balance the pea on the needle after all ! In vain have my stud eaten their heads off at Melton, and I myself gone to the height of personal inconvenience, not to say bodily peril, to achieve a first-flight character on the grass. Can I lay my hand on my heart, and tax my memory with one single instance on which, after hounds had been running hard for ten minutes, I was present in the same field with them ? I have ridden a two-hundred-guinea hunter, and been pounded by young Graceless on a forty-pound back ! I have placed nay horse's head at Lord Rapid's tail, and vowing to stick to him throughout the day, have lost him in three fields ! No ! High Leicestershire was no arena for my prowess; and hopeless as was my success in the pastures, the turf was even worse. What availed it to elbow my way into the waving mass which constitutes the Ring at Epsom ; or to swag g e r , w ith open b etting-book, and pencil daintily fitted between my front teeth, down the sunny slopes at Ascot? the `make and-shape' backer jumped at the odds I offered against his favourite, and showed his judgment by the form in which his selection swept past the goal an easy winner, and the only horse I stood to lose by in the lace ;' or the better-informed leg, with his liberal investment against the Flyer that broke down this morning, gave me another opportunity of what is playfully termed paying and looking pleasant.' Shoot ing, deer-stalking, sparring, cricket, hare-hunti ng , rowing, fishing, &c., not for ge tti ng my f i rst and only appearance as a jockey at Weatherley—l have had a turn at them all— and if this be what is meant by sowing wild oats,' I can only say that iu my case the crop has failed to pay the ex penses of cultivation. " And what has been the result of thus wasting the golden, the irretrievable years of early manhood—that im portant period in which alone can be laid the foundations for a future superstructure of utility and self-content, if not of distinction and renown—an edifice to which success in the more trifling pursuits of life should be but as the carving which decorates its pillars, the ornamental work which softens the severer grandeur of the whole ? " A brief period of hollow excitement, constantly em bittered by dissatisfaction and disappointment ; a con sciousness of time misspent and opportunities thrown away ; something very nearly akin to remorse for the irre mediable past ; and above all, the degrading conviction that though age is steadily and surely stealing on, wisdom is still as far distant as ever, and the experience which makes ' even fools wise' has in my own case been entirely thrown away." • Transmutation •or the Lord and the Lout. By N. or M. Chapman and Hall. Although this story is founded on the often-re peated subject of changelings, there is novelty in many of the events, and a freshness .of style per vades it that redeems it from being dull or com monplace. The young heroes early displayed the native tendencies of their characters, such as might be expected from the stations for which they had been created. As it happened, however, nothing but evil and confusion ensued from what should have been a blessing and a benefit to every one. The cunning and avarice, which in the son of selfish, worldly parents was to be expected, and which would have delighted the Earl and Countess, filled with dismay and consternation the denizens of the humble roof under which the heir of Rycot was brought up. On the other hand, the bold and reckless daring, the free and careless conduct, which would have done honour to the miller's son, only embittered the lordly sphere to which Luko Harston's child was taken. The chief point of in terest is that portion of the narrative where the real Lord of Rycot commits a murder, which un fortunate circumstances attribute to his lowly representative. The son of the people had to bear the full fury of the storm which had been created by the evil conduct of the lordly race of Rycot. A long life of ill-usage and neglect had sown the seeds of deadly hatred in the minds of the earl's tenants ; and no sooner did they suspect his son than their fury knew no bounds, and with one accord all rose againSt him. The unfortunate young man, wh o s e own i mpru d ence had materially injured his cause, was thrown into prison as a felon. He was detained for some time before his trial, in the midst of which, just as all expected him to be pronounced guilty, an express arrived announcin g that his aged f a th er th e ear l h ad j ust exp i re d. A s a peer of the realm, the prisoner had to be removed to a higher tribunal. Before that time arrived, however, through the instrumentality of a valuable friend he had made in prison, the young earl was proved innocent. The most pleasing character in the story is Bessy Harston, the miller's daughter, whose honest and simple nature is a striking contrast to the crafty and vindictive tem per of her supposed brother. After a great many trials, she died, in the midst of the trial im pending against the earl. The knoWledge that her brother (as she believed him) had committed mur der, brought on brain fever, from which she never recovered. As she was the favourite of the village, all crowded round her coffin to pay their last re spectful tribute—" and where was there ever a sweeter face than the one whose whiteness gleamed like marble, wasted by sickness, worn by anguish, the touch of death appeared to have re-endowed poor Bessy with youth and beauty, as with com posure and peace." The cause of all this misery, John, was found dead at an infirmary, where be had confessed his crimes. After a triumphal re turn to Rycot, the young earl busied himself in ameliorating the condition of his tenants, and so much good did he effect, that it is observed that, could Peter Prosset (the old doctor who had changed the children) hate perceived the results, he might fancy he had done a wise and virtuous action by his transmutation. Transcaucasia ' Sketches of the Nations and Races between the Baltic Sea and the Caspian. By Baron von Haxthausen. Chapman and Hall. _ This is not one of the numerous works of travel or geographical description that the present crisis has called forth, though its title naturally gives rise to such an idea. It was completed in 1849, but the unfavourable state of the publishing trade prevented its appearing at that time. It is now first given to the English public with the inten tion of subsequently producing it in Germany and France. The author is a Prussian, who a lready published a work on the internalstatehaosf .ared in 1842 Russia, which has not been translaptepde the author of some articles which a Re is also in the Allgemeine Zeitung, sig ne d c , A v. 13.," „ which displayed so much ability that many supposed the initials to a nd represent knowledge ° w.

However, indignant readers must re member that the work was completed and in pro cess of being translated long before the commence ment of the events which now give it an additional interest. Georgia, Circassia, and Armenia, with all the surrounding provinces, are described, not with the lively superficial manner of a hasty traveller, but in the style of one who has evidently 1 1 searched and studied the subject. While the Eng lish reader is likely to differ from him entirely in many of his views, he will feel that the statements may be depended on. Many of the customs of the country are exceedingly curious, and their haws and social regulations no 9 less so. The volume posse sses file great attraction of eight coloured plates', from drawings by Herr Graeb of Berlin, from the sketches of Baron Haxthausen, and his travelling companion, Prince Paul Moven. Among the most striking of these are, the View , of Tiflis and the Great Mosque at Erivan. The frontispiece of the interior of a Georgian nobleman's house, is also a very pleasing illustration. A map of the Caucasus is appended to the volume. Constantinople of To-day. David Bogue. This little work is translated from the French of Tlieophile Gantier, by R. Gould, M.A. It is illus- trated with engravings from photographic pictures, which give a very excellent idea of the different scenes represented. Lively and entertaining sketches of the shops, the bazaars, the dancing dervishes, the mosques, the Palace of the Bosphorus and the surrounding scenery are scattered through its pages. It will present to the reader a very attractive literary panorama, of the city of the Sultan. Records of the Chase. by Cecil. Longman. This volume contains Records of the Chase, and Memoirs of Celebrated Sportsmen, illustrating some of the usages of olden times and comparing them with prevailing customs, with an introduction to most of the fashionable hunting countries, and comments. Thus it will be seen that for sporting readers it will form a valuable work of reference as well as an entertaining volume of amusement and anecdote. 21remorials of the Life of Amelia Opie. By Cecilia B righ t well. Longman. These memoirs of this well-known and charming writer are chiefly selected from her own letters and diaries. The events et a long life, and the nume rous and distinguished acquaintances made by one so well calculated to shine in society, and in early life so much attached to it, present the reader with a variety of scenes and characters full of interest and entertainment. She was acquainted with many of the celebrities of her own day, and on two occasions visited Paris, where she made many friends. After joining the Society of Friends, her life was more retired, though she still retained her old attachments. This work is published by her executor, to whom all her papers were left for s vision. His daughter has und er t a k en the task o f writing the memoir, which she has performed very ably, with much simplicity of style. Long extracts are given from Mrs. Opie's letters to her father and intimate friends, and from a journal which she kept at one period of her life. She was of a very benevolent disposition. Most of her time in her later years was taken up by works of active charity. The present volume shows her in a most attractive aspect, and all those who are acquainted with her from her works will find pleasure in perusing these memorials. HAMPSTEAD HEATH AGAIN. This evening a sixth application will be made to the House of Peers by Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson for a decision which will, virtually, enable him to block out the public from the use of Hampstead-heath. There can be little fear as to the result, but still it is desirable, just at the moment the matter is about to be taken in hand, that the public should be reminded of the exact facts of the case. Sir Thomas Wilson is tenant for life, under his father's will, of an estate which comprises the greater portion of Hampstead-heath. Annexed to this will were certain codicils. By the codicils were granted leasing powers over certain sections of the property in question, but none over the Hampstead estate. The point has been raised whether this silence was inten tional or accidental. The necessity of proof naturally lies upon those who would set aside the fair inference arising upon such arrangements made in a solemn and well digested deed—namely, that the testator's real intention wa., that his legatee should enjoy the property in the manner pointed out in the will, and not otherwise. The matter has been referred to the judges for their opinion under an order of reference from the House of Lords. By a return to this order dated the 29th of May of the present year, and bearing the signatures of Chief Baron Pollock and Mr. Justice Williams, we find that their opinion is adverse to the present pretensions of Sir Thomas Wilson. "It may well be," they say, "that the testator abstained from extending the laming power to the lands in question for reasons which would have ope rated in his mind with equal force, even if the lands had been as valuable for building purposes at the date of his will as they are now." They conclude to the effect that, even if the petitioner should succeed in establish ing the allegations of his preamble, there is no tale for the interference of Parliament. In the same way, when ten years ago a bill was introduced into Par liament at the instance of Sir Thomas Wilson, which would have enabled him, not to lease, but to sell the property in question, M r . B aron P ar k e an d Mr. Justice Cresswell gave it as their opinion that, if it should appear that the testator, by giving to his son the power of granting long leases on certain portions of the estate, intended that he should not have similar powers over the remainder, then by the bill such intention would be evaded. The intention of the testator, as a question of common sense as well as in point law, would seem to be obvious enough from his manner of dealing with his pro ! perty. In addition to these considerations, it is said to be notorious that an4understanding, to which he was a party, existed that he would not authorise any building speculation at Hampstead. It would appear, then, that the present tenant for life enjoys his Hampstead property in the way in which his father intended that he should enjoy it, and there can be no reason why the public ad vantage should be sacrificed in order that the present Sir T. Wilson may be made a richer man than his father ever intended he should be. The story of Sir T. Wilson's repeated attempts to evade the language and intentions of his father s will and the established rule of construction is curious" enough. Upon five different occasions—in 1829, 1830, 1843, and 1844, and 1853—a similar attempt has been made and frustrated. It would perhaps be more correct to say that Sir Thomas having hitherto been unable to ob tain a decision in his favour upon the whole of the Hampstead estate, has now altered his tactics, and is Dealing only with a part. Should he succeed, of course this success will be drawn into a precedent, and a brick wall round Hampstead-heath follows as an inevitable corollary. The bill brought in last year, by a very odd coincidence, made no mention of the codicils, but recited only the provisions of the principal deed. This year Sir Thomas has been compelled to rehearse his codicils, and the effect of their reinsertion is the answer • returned by the Chief Baron and Justice Williams to the order of reference made by the Peers. There is another very odd coincidence. The hill of last year was for power to build over the whole of the Hampstead estate. This was rejected. The bill of this year deals with the property in a less sweeping method. The very title is modest. Sir T. Wilson's advisers, having found that there was something i n th e name of ? a Hampstead Enclosure, Hampstead Leasing, Hampstead Building Bill, which gave offence to the nerves of the Peers, have upon the present occasion dis guised their object under the title of " the Finchly-road Bill." Who would suppose that so much mischief lurked under so unassuming a title as this? The Finchly road Bill, however, is but a piratical craft. Her master showed his real colours in 1829, when he hoisted his , proper ensign, and boldly applied for leave to build on and entirely round the heath. The bill of 1829 con tained express provisions for so building thereon and surrounding it. It is needless to repeat that if Sir T. Wilson should furtively obtain a Parliamentary sanction to build upon a portion of the estate on which his father intended that not a brick should be laid, he will soon resume his former pretensions and be in a condition to enforce them. Most fortunately, the scheme was discovered, and we give the matter this notice in order that the Peers may fully understand that this evening they are dealing with the very same point which has already been raised and decided five times in their house. , Four law lords—Lords Tenterden, Denman, Brougham, and Campbell—have, on three former occa. sions, given their opposition to the measure. W e yen . ture to trust that two of the number will be found to. night in their places, to guard the interests of the public once moil. Especial attention, too, sh ou ld be given to the manner in which Sir T. Wilson's advisers have dealt with the codicils to his father's will. By suppressi n g them last year, they obtained a favourable report from the Chief Baron, but were very prop erly ordered to amend their recitals. Wh en the amended d oo maasta were again submitted to Sir P. Pollock's consideration, r t n o e n d c a %i o n p c in on io j n unc m ti :t tensions of the life tenant of thne wstirteh Justice g li ly r. adverseto Wi th ll e iame, p returned pro perty.
