EXTRAORDINARY WILL CARL—Judgment has jut
been delivered in the Maclean 'will case, by the Lord
Justice Clerk, in the Court of Session, FAinburgh.
The case had been for the preoeding eight days before
the Court and a special jury. The pursuers were a
number of the relatives of the late Lieut. Colonel
Maclean, formerly of the 86th Regiment and the 3rd
West India Regiment, who for the last few years of
his life resided at !dinned, Crimbrae, and who dies
there on April 18, 1859, at the age of about 80; and
the defenders were his trnetees under his trust disposi-
tion and settlement of date Odobef 27, 1856, and two
codieile, dated respectively June 7, 1858, and Feb. 19,
1859, by which he left tlie bulk of his property—
amounting to £2o,ooo—to found an institution for the
education of a number of boys at the name of Maclean;
the ground on which the challenge of the settlement
was based being that the testator was Insane at the
time of executing the deer* or that he was weak and
facile and circumvented by his housekeeper, Jessie
Crawford. In the progress of the case 42 witnesses
were examined by the pdrsuers, aid 57 witnesses for
the defence. The Lord Justice Clerk, in delivering
judgment, entered at great length into the facts of
the ease. His lordship proceeded to notice the
two things specially founded on by the
pursuers; the one, that he had an insane
belief as to having been fed out of an eagle's
neat, and being descended from Tamerlane, whose name
he believed to be properly Tam Maclean. These, he
thought, might be attributed to his fondness for joking
and quizzing, of which there was a good deal of evi-
dence. The other delusion alleged was an insane belief
In regard to the conduct of his relations. But evidence
had been led upon that 'subject, which seemed to show
that he had good grounds for the opinion which be
entertained in regard to them. Unless the jury were
satisfied that this man wee incapable of making this
settlement, or made it when in a state of mental
weakness, under fraudulent dictation from another,
the mere circumstance that he had disinherited his
relations, from good cause or bad, was no reason for
setting it amide. The jury, after an absence of abou
three-quarters of an hour, returned into court with
unanimous verdict for the defrmdors.

L
Cricket, now the most popular of athletic sports, is
of oomparatively modern date, although not so modern
as some people are disposed to think, dating not further
baek than the beginning of the present century or so.
We often beer oountryinen say, as they stand looking
on at • game of cricket, men of sporting tastes and
inclinations, bearing their sixty summers (through the
glory of winter" pastimes) with cheery lusty heart—
" There was nothing of this sort of thing when I was
• boy." But this Is an error; even in the days of
Edward ILL there was a game called "club ball," and
this game was no doubt the invention upon which the
pres.nt solentific amusement received its birth-right.
More than a century ago cricket is incidentally men-
tioned by Thomas D'Urfey, in the song—'• Of noble

GINTLEMEN. —Having replied to your kind and
generous remarks, and charitable observations to my
letter of the 6th inst., I hope you are now convinced
that nothing like anger guided my pen. I shall be
greatly disappointed if I do not receive a brisk fire
in return, and would prefer, should the XXX have
operated on your nerves, for you to append your
names in future to any letter addressed in answer to
anything I have written, or may write. In such
case both the public and myself will be able to duly
appreciate your motives; besides which, • friendly
acquaintance may spring out of our correspondence;
and if we can enlighten each other upon the subject
of 'The Railroad to Portland," there may be other
matters we might go into. Your letters in reply to
my observations were so ably written, that it would
be a pity for the public to lose the benefit of your
further correspondence. In the same good humour
as I wrote my last, I indite this, and continue to be,

Tor BANK or Drrosir.—The Master of the Rolls
decided on Wednesday, that the depositors of the
infamous Bank of Deposit must be placed on the list
of contributories: Thus, the unfortunate victims of
this disgraceful swindle not only be, the money they
had invested in the institution, But are actually
rendered responsible for the liabilities it has incurred,
liabilities over which they have neverlad any control,
and from which they have derived not the slightest
benefit. A niers painful position than that in which
they are now placed certainly cannot be imagined, and
it must be but a poor consolation to them to know that
for all the 'Many and heartless fraud of which Mr.
Peter Morrison has been guilty, the only punishment
he hu yet received has been a sentence of outlawry
The fellow must not, however, be allowed to escape
thus lightly. He has absconded, and is now nowhere
to be found; but the depositors could soon find means
to discover his whereabouts, and we trust that, heavy
as their lass is likely to be, they will not hesitate to
incur some little additional outlay in order to bring
this arrant knave to justice. It would at least be some
consolation to know that, when once in safe custody, be
would no longer have the opportunity of defrauding
others as he has already defrauded them.

TO THE CHURCHWARDENS OF ST.

MARY'S CHURCH.

GENTLZIIIN,—How is it the town clock keeps such
bad time; or, I had bettor at onoe say, no time at
all An incorrectness of daily time throws thou-
sands out of their reckoning; and I and many
others are often disappointed and put to incon-
venienoe through being misled by the town clock.
The weekly custom—Saturdays generally for
Sundays' regulation—seems to be, to alter the clock
some 5,7, or 10 minutes; and then again on Mon-
day another alteration occurs, se that it is impossible
to regulate either clocks or watches. I have spoken
of the subject to many, and have recommended a
thorough cleaning of the clock, but to my surprise
I have been informed that it has lately been put in
" goodjorder 1" At length I find ip necessary to
make the appeak,through the medium of the Tele-
gram—the only source of correction of all public
abuses, and shall feel obliged to the Editor for giving
it insertion.

REPORT.

, The Committee of Ilan—a-ge—Ment in presenting to the
members their second quarterly report, beg to eon-
gratulate them on the present prosperous state of the
Society. Your committee consider that fair progress
has teen made during the past quarter; that the two
well known foes of all new enterprises, prejudice and
suspicion, have been defeated, if not completely con-
quered. Only let there be united, steady perseverance
in the course we have so far successfully pursued, and
the result will be such as will cheer sod gladden the
hearts of all those who at first gave their warm and
cordial support to the Society. At the end of the first
quarter we had 89 members, who held 159 shares, and
had paid in the sum of £75 18s. 6d. Business was done
to the extent of £lO5 12s. 3d., which allowed fora bonus
of 61 per cent, to be declared, or Is. 411. in the pound.
This quarter we have an additional item of expenditure,
via.; salariee—so that we presume no member antici-
pated realizing quite so good a bonus for the second
quarter as for the first.. Yet, on the other hand, the
members will not very iiitich regret to find that the
second quarter is not onlrbo good.but a fraction better.
The following figures must speak for themselves. Dar-
ing the petit quarter 26 members have joined, making •
total of 115. The number of shares issued are 217, on
which the sum of £l4l l&t. 6d. has been paid. Business
done £7.38 7s. 50., giving 1111 interest and bonus the
sum of £l6 19s. 4d ; being 5 per cent interest, and 61
per cent., or Is. 4d. in the pound bonus.

pied with a charge of forgery. John Teo, for many
years a muter tradesman of the town, was eommitted
on the charge of attempting to pfasa • forged cheque for
£l3O. The cheque, which purported to be drawn by
Moms Sparrow, Brothers, and Scott, on the Naval
Bank, Plymouth, in favour of John Teo,. wasseatt front
the Royal Hotel at Devonport te the Bank, but was
detained in consequence of the suspicion of the cashier
to whom it was prosentedi The return ef "boots,"who
was Yeo's messenger on this occasion, was delayed in
consequence of this suspicion, and when he did return
he found that the person who had sent him had left.
This was in June last. Recently Yeo was apprehended
on other charges of forgeries, and the boots and waiter
at the hotel were brought to the prison and at one.
identified Yeo as the sender of the cheque. This was
the eighth charge of forgery against the prisoner. The

to imitate cheques and bills of excitants that Caine into

We believe in • short time Her Majesty will return to
Windsor Castle. It is not at all improbable that the
Queen will then pay an occasional visit to Buckingham
Palate for the purpose of personally superintending the
affairs of the late Prince Consort. The active
business habits of the late Prime were the cense of biers.
oeiving • voltintinous mass of papers and correspon-
dence, which will have to be carefully examined, and
On the disposal Of the more important portions the
Queen herself will decide. The same feeling will probably
take the Queen to Balmoral in the spring—for the late
Priam was busy everywhere even in the midst of his
spofteirand the, place being seen al • different lesson,
, the visit will, perhaps, be less fraught with painful
recollections than if it were postponed to the autumn.—
Court Joiarna/.
Panics ALFIIRD.—Hi. Royal Highness Prince Alfred
is itapected to rettime te England nest mouth, which
Is the earliest time possible, in conasynencie of the
1 unavoidable delay which occurred in the transmission of

the letters sent out announcing the melancholy inteli-
gentle of the terrible bereavement which had fallen on
him and the rest of the royal family, and recalling
Prince Alfred to England.
There is, we believe, every probability of a royal
matrimonial alliance, more important than even that
of the Princess Alice, being announced at no distant
date. The Prince of Wales is likely, we understand,'
to make choice of a Danish Primers ; mid His Royal
Highneas will*probably have his first interview with
his intended—who is said to be ricaiegied of groat
personal attractions—in the course of .his present
tour.

'rite PRINCISS ALMS. - Her Royal Highness the
Princess Alice arrived at New Lodge, Wind-or Great
Perk, the seat of Baron Van de Veyer, on Thursday
afternoon, her Royal Highness having travelled by the
South-Western Railway to the Ascot-heath station,
near Virgin Water, where she WAS met by one of the
royal carriages, which conveyed her to the residence of
the Belgian minister. It is understood that the con-
stant attendanee on her illustrious parent under her
severe affliction has rendered this change necessary to
the re-establishment of her health.

THE PORTLAND RAILWAY.

To the Editor of the Dorset County Express and
Agricultural Gazette.
Stlt,—l greatly admire the pluck displayed by Mr.
John Jenkins Rolls, in the fearless challenge he gave
as to the truth of his assertion., and on the good
humoured manner he has met his assailants who have
fought him from behind masked batteries. All must
agree that Ids letters contain • vast amount of truth,
and that as such, they are calculated to do a vast
amount of good for the Borough of which he is no old
an inhabitant, and whose prosperity he has so much at
heart. I am aware that the brewery party profess to
laugh at Mr. Rolls's productions, and to treat with
contempt his exposure of the gross abuses of the Town
Council; yet Sir, I sin in • position to known that
the ward jade does wince exceedingly under the castiga-
tions that have been given; and that Messrs. XXX and
Co., notwithstanding their "bounce," are not so tough-
bided as the rhinoceros, after all. In one thing I cannot
quite agree with Mr. Rolls, if I understand him aright,
and if I do not, perhaps he will be kind enough to
correct me: There can be no doubt, I think, that in a
free country like our own, the inhabitants of Portland
have quite as good a right as the inhabitants of Wey-
mouth to a railroad, provided they can get it.
Whether the concern will be a paying one for the share-
holders is another thing, but on that point I cannot
conceive what the public have to do. If • person
choose to follow the example of the Irishman, who
made • eandwich of bis EIS note by placing it between
two slices of bread and butter, the loss is his own, and
affects none but himself or his family. But in Mr.
Rolls's other remarks I entirely concur with him. A
railroad to Portland would greatly injure the harbour,
and almost entirely destroy the Pile Pier properties, of
which the Town Council are the trustees ; and that
they, as such, are, to say the least, acting • most
unhandsome part towards the bondholders, in trying
to throw them overboard. If, Sir, the Pile Pier and
the Harbour were the private property of the party in
question, would they thus Nett I think not. Nay, I
may go farther than this, and say, I am sure they would
not. Then they are not acting upon the principle of
that golden rule of "Whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, do ye even ao to them." Nor is it,
Sir, for the benefit of Portland, as such, that they are
the supporters of a railway to that Island. If they had
not an eye to self-gain, depend upon it Portland might
go to the dogs for ought they eared. lii penning these
few remarks, let me not be misunderstood. I say not
one word against • railway to Portland, Indeed, I
desire to see a railway communication established
between the island and other parts of the world. What
I do complain of is, that the Tory party, who now hold
the reins of power in Weymouth, are using that power
for evil toward, s the town they govern, and not for good.
I am, Sir, yours, Sec.

Sporting intrtligence.

GRIAT WALLING MATCH FOR £100.(211rD TH6 CHAMPION-
*HIP. - The long pending oontest between James Miles,
of Reigate, and William Spooner, the champion, which
has been exciting so much interest of late amongst the
members of the Victoria Turf Club, and the sporting public
generally, wee decided on Wednesday afternoon, at Mr.
Roberts enclozed pedestrian ground, Thistlegrove-lane,
West Brompton, in the presence of a good muster of
spectators The stake was £5O a side, and the distance
fourteen miles, to complete which the men had to make
the circuit of the course fifty-six times. The wonderful
speed of Spooner, the well-known fair style of Miles,
and the unusually long distance, caused a considerable
deal of excitement to be manifested by those present,
many of whom only wished to see whether thechampion's
speed bad become impaired during his long rest. A
good deal of betting took place on the result, at 7 to 4
on Miles. Owen Swift having been appointed referee,
the men got off, Spooner with the lead, which he main-
tained from the start to the finish, walking in • very
questionable style, winning by 100 yards. The whole
distance was accomplished in 1 hour 57 min. 42i see.

Imperial iparliament.

HOUSE 01,51401tbei.

MoNnay.—Lord Derby called attention to the Rivised
Code, and suggested that to avoid hostile discussion the
the government should proceed by way of resolution—a
proposal to which Lord Granville did not eowent.—The
Lord Chancellor introduced his Bill for the transfer of
real property.—Lord Bt. Leoirtrd and Lord Chelmsford
had each prepared two Bills on the same subject, and
the whole five were read • first time.

Trmrtnev.----The -proce.dinge began and ended with
America.—Lord Carnarvon called the attention of Lord
Russell to the ease of Mr. Shaver, an English subject,
who had been imprisoned in Fort Warren, and Lord
Derby presented petitions from the Foreign Affairs
Committee of Manchester and Leeds, condemning the
conduct of the English Government in relation to the
Trent affair. Lord Carnarvon asked if the Government
had demanded compensation and an apology for the
wounded feelings of Mr. Shaver, and Lord Russell re-
plied that that gentleman had made no such demand
himself. He was the victim of circumstances
inseparably connected with the present state of America,
and has he had made himself amenable to suspicion on
the part of the Federal Government, there was really no
help for it. Her Majesty's Government had done all that
'mold be done in the cireninstatioas. With regard to
the petitions of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Lord
Derby said that, although he presented them, he
differed totally from the views entertained by the
petitioners.—A conversation took place with regard to
the payment of the officers of the late Insolvent
Debtors' Court, transferred by the new Act to the
London Court of Bankruptcy, The Lord Chancellor
aid, that although he could do nothing personally to
remedy the evil, the officers had a strong moral claim
upon Parliament.

THURISDAT.—The House sat for only fifteen minutes,
and the business before the House was all of a private
character. Their Lordships read the Bristol Water
Company's Bill for the second time, and the bill, which
contains several clauses that will require amending, will
now go into committee.
FRIDAY.—There was no discussion or debate, but the
chief subjects of conversation were the coming Volun-
teer Field Day—in which there was a spice of the per-
sonal imported—and the expenditure of the Leitrim
police. Their Lordship. sat only an hour and forty
minutes.

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING.

- •
4 meeting of the Council was held on Tuesday.
The members present were: The Mayor; Alderman
Curme ; Councillors Manni,ihihop, Frond, Aldridge,
Stanton, and Andrews.. • -
Applications were received for water supply and
drainage for several of the National and. Sunday
Schools in the town, and the Council agreed that
they should follow the same rule as with the hos-
pital--the liberty of connection with the
sewer gratuitously, and to pay for the
water. Mr. Bishop thought they ought
to charge the Day Schools £1 per year:—Mr. Frond
suggested 155.; and Mr. Stanton proposed, and Mr.
Aldridge -seconded, that as the Free Schools were
charitable institutions, 10s, a year should be paid for
the Girls aod Boys' National, the infant, and the British
Schools.—The Mayor did not believe that if the
achooltooms were rated to the poor they would not,
either of them, be put at more than £2O a year,
which would amount to 10s. a year.—The resolution
of Mr. Stanton was adopted without amendment.
With regard to the Congregational Church and
Baptist Sunday Schools, Mr. Bishop 'proposed, and
Mr. *wooded, that the Sunday Schools be
-a as the Day Schools, as they thought
too little.—Mr. Aldridge
thstithe awn charged for
a year—Mrs Stanton
.—On the question being
Anton, and Andrews voted

Tag COST OF ADORNING BRAUTY.—At the Court of
Exchequer on Thursday; Mrs. Leverson, known aho by
th name of Madame lit.criel, brought an a Aron for the
reCovery if £928 53., against the iton. Cut. Carnegie,
for enamelling his wife's face. It appeared thst the
Hon. Mrs. C•rnegie, who has • private fortune of £7OO
a year, and is the dau;liter of a couritesa, and wife of
an heir to the peerage, was induced, by me ins of an
advertisement in the Court Journal, to r lace hirself
under Madame Rachel, the wife of • perfumer in
Maddox-street, Bond-street, Loudon with • view to
having her countenance " twaiitifled." At first the
lady sent her maid to reqUire Maclaine Rachel
to eall at BeLtavesqnare, but the enameller
replied, with becoming dignity, that she never attended
airings Janice at their residences. Mrs. Carnegie
consequently called on Madame Rachel, and the inter-
view led to business, Mrs. Carnegie having stibseqmntly
been enamelled several times. According to Madame
Rachel, she enamelled ladies and babies, and made them
beautiful for life; and that in the present instance the
result was highly watiafactory. The youth and trusty
of Mrs. Carnegie were restored, and she subse-
quently made a splendid figure In the character
of "Snow" in a Welsh ball. Then came the
sequel—the bill. Thinking she lad met with
a person who could be viCtimised, the enameller of
ladies faces, charged Mrs. Carnegie £939 ss. The bill,
however, fell into the liands of Mr. Carnegie, and as he
refused to jay it, Madame Rachel brought the action
and lost lier cane, the jury, without hesitation, returning
a verdict for the defendant.

WEYMOUTH TOWN AFFAIRS.

[The following correspondence appeared in our
contemporary, the Telegram.]
Slit—The letter which appeared in your eseenni
journal lait week, I am happy to state, hes bad the
efrest of throwing it little light in the hick street' of
Weymouth, but the lamp lighters, I perceive, are ism
playing at the gains of • hopsnil•go-oite" at different
places, by leaving every alternate lamp unlighted, Nov
I ask how this is? If the gas contractor I. paid for all
he ought to light all. and lie robe the town If be dodo
not. If on the other hand he sakes an *quoins* to
tic town for the unlighted lamps, may I. ask with
whom such an agreement has been made, as I under-
teem! the suhject has never beer brought before the
B isrd. There ix evidently some trickery going on
somewhere. One thing ii. quite certain—the members
of our Load Board are Rot doing their duty to their
constituents. During the past week, too, we I eve reit
other matters which go to prove that the to en ie
paying pretty dearly for their w title, in havit.g
permit men in offioe. The Esplasade Committee are in
high glee to find that theses wall .1111 out washed down
by the late high tides—that they only did shout eff or
£6 wnith of harm, whereas sonm moms eupieeed an
immense amount of damns would li. done. Why the
wind WAS in the wrong qu-rter to muse much damage.
Had it veered round to B.E. there is no telling what
mischief stolid have bean .lone. The little that was
dose was a convincing proof that the "carpeted" walk
will be a continual espenee, whores., in its fusser
it withstood all weathers. Thum, again, the
payers may repast to have an itdollidollol penny a
pseud laid on them some time or other, to pay fes the
damage done to Mr. Ba +khan garden through the
negligence displayed in not shutting the deice di the
railway drain, and thereby causing en inundatio* if
salt water. Verily, Sir, our "m.. of Aloe" will gal
the town into a pretty Mate of QUM* add by, wanks
some stringent measure is taken to stop them. The
burgesses have the remedy in their own hands—let
them use it.—l am, Sir,
