OBEYING HER HUSBAND'S WISHES.

In the RAI' Court, In London, the cause of "Smith el
Fisher " has been heard, and was a suit to enforce a trust in
favour of the plaintiff.

-
It appeared that William Harvey made his will in
1861, giving all his property to his wife Marv, whom
he appointed sole executrix, and in July, 1865, shortly
before his death he drew up a memorandum on a Mee,
of paper, which he gave to his wife, but did not sign,
alleging as • reason for not doing so that the legatees
would be wishing her dead if they knew how the pro.
perty was to go. The paper began,—"l wish my dear
wife to make a will Immediately, and dispose of
the property In the following way." Then came
• list of persons, including the plaintiff, who
were to receive legacies, and the writer concluded
with the wish that the defendant, Fisher, should be
his wife's executor. Mary Harvey did make a will in
accordance with her husband's wishes, as expresse.l in
the paper, and appointed Fisher executor, but the
legacy bequeathed by her to the plaintiff wee void,
owing to his wife having been an attesting witoefs,
and the question arose whether a precatory trust in
favour of the plaintiff was created by the paper given
by the testator to Mary Harvey.
The Master of the Rolls considered that everything
showed that the property was intended to he at the
absolute disposal of the widow. The paper was meant
merely to contain instructions for her guidance, and no
trust was established. She had, in fact, acted on those
instructions; but owing to an informality her will did
not take effect as regards the plaintiff. In his
opinion, the next of kin were entitled to the lapsed
egacy.

A PERIOD OF DEPRESSION.

The annual return, just issued by the Board of
Trade, throws a curious light (observes the Economist)
on some very common opinions to the extent of tiv,
present depression. During the last three years the
exports have been as follow :

1367
1808
1869
the year 1869, when the complaints of depression have
been most frequent, tieing thus the highest of the three
years enumerated, which are all years of very large
export. More than this, the total for 1869 is the very
higitest which caw export trade has ever rembed. Cll2l.
paring it with 1866, the highest previous year, we find
that it is in excess as follows :
Exports In Ism £lo9 827,788
1869 .............

Increase in 18C9
When so much is said of foreign competition, and the
consequent falling off in employment for our manufac-
turers, an account like this telling so different a tale
ought to be looked at. It is not in our exports to
foreign countries at least that our business is dimiu i all in g.
Of course we shoulol expect a natural growth. so that
it is not quite satisfactory when we find our business
very little greater than it was four years ago; hut 1866,
it most be remembered, was exceptional, and there
really has been a steady increase during late years. Of
course we are not disputing the fact of some depression
which depends upon narrow margins of profit or loss
that do not show in statistics ; all we want to point
out is that the depression, so far as our foreign trade is
concerned, is certainly not of that formidable and
extensive character which a sommon mode of speaking
would lead us to suppose.

LOW RAILWAY FARES.

Mr. Jones read an elaborately compiled paper the
other evening, at the 'Society of Arts, on the causes
and consequences of high charges for passengers by
railway, and the advantages to be expected from !adop-
tion of low fares. He considered that the charge for
railway travelling by the mile was one of the most for-
midable impedimenta to a great reduction of fares.
The mile, therefore, he argued, should be discarded.
and "the stage" sub4ituted. The "stage" should be
from ten to twenty miles, and the traveller over a por-
tion of the way should pay AS if he had gone over the
whole. The shorter distances would thus contribute
for the longer ones. In illustration Mr. Jones ex-
hibited diagrams of what he termed "circles" of rail-
way from 80 to 120 miles round, touching populous
districts, and encircling a population of from 100 000
to 750,000; and the deduction he made was that with
• light passenger train (" railway omnibuses") running
at the rate of 20 or 25 miles an hour, and every half
hour a day, with passengers charged by the stage of 10
or 15 miles, there would be a development of railway
traffic such as one could scarcely realise. His proposi-
tion was to charge labourers a penny, niichile class
persons threepence, and first class passengers sixpence
the stage. Ile believed the adoption of the plan he
had proposed in his pamphlet would save 4:150.000
In tickets alone. The public, however, would
never experience all the advanta4es they were
entitled to until the entire command of rail-
ways was vested in the Government. Ac-
cording to Mr. Jones's calculations, passengers
might be taken upon his principle to Holyhead (204
miles) at fazes id Is. tel., Is. 61., and 91. ; and to Edin-
burgh (405 miles) at fares of Is. 114., ss. 91., and
Its, 61. If the railway companies delay to increase
the number of their trains, and to reduce their charges to
the full extent, they might soon find railways from
town to town thronghout the country, of 2 feet or 3
feet gauge, with carriages for passengers and parcels,
pria elled by bogie engines or road steamers at the rate
of 15 or 20 miles an hour, the trains running through
the centres of large towns, taking up and setting down
their passengers and parcels with much greater con.
venience to the public than the present railways can
effect. The paper was loudly cheered.
Mr. Hyde Clarke, Mr. W. Pare, Mr. Samuila, Mr.
Brandoo, Mr. Haggart, Mr. Allport, and others took
part in the discussion.
The general opinion was in favour of Mr. Jones's
idea ; hut Mr. Allport, speaking as the oldest railway
manazer in the country, said the adoption of the
system would ruin every company, supposing the
trains could run as proposed, but that was impossible.

ONCE A QUEEN, ALWAYS A QUEEN!

A very curious trial is likely soon to come on before
the l'aris tribunals. It appears there are diderences
of opinion between the ex. Queen of Spain and her hus-
band respecting the administration of their fortune.
As Queen she was chief of the community, and her con-
sort had to submit to her ail% Her Majesty maintains
that, although driven from her country by rebellion, she
is still Queen dr jure, and as such still mistress of her
fortune and entitled to dispose of it as she thinks fit,
even in those hopeless attempts to regain her crown in
which a considerable part of it was expended in the
early months of her exile. lion Francisco de Aegis, on
the other hand, apparently recognizes the " accom-
plished fact," and considers his wife to be for ever fallen
from her high estate, and to have consequently become
a private individual, for he puts in a claim to be chief
and to deal with their j tint fortune as to him seems
best. He has applied to the tribunals to grant him
the a lininistrath n if his wife's property, a step to
which he is said to have been more immediately pro-
voked by a very large sale of Spatibh Stock lately
effected. The Court has prohibited the ex-Queen and
Count Ezpelata, her steward or major.domo, from all
acts of administration pending the final decision of the
cause. This financial difference seems to have pro-
duced a coldness between the husband and wife, for it
is reported that the former has left their common resi-
dence in the Avenue du Rol de Rome, and has taken
up his abode with his friend Senor Meneses, on whom
the title of Duke of Banos was a few months ago con-
ferred, the Queen, although dethroned, still claiming
the right to confer such honours and distinctions.

The Figaro states, apparently on the authority of
Don Francisco himself, that during the eighteen
months they have been in France, the Queen has spent
not only the income derived from 26,000,000 f. of
which she could dispose, but has encroached upon the
capital to the amount of 4,000,000 f. "if this state of
things should continue," piteously exclaims the sin.
happy Don, "in six years time we shall come to
beggary." The Queen is a more hopeful prophet.
"At that time," she responds, "our son will be King,
and the grandees of Spain do not haggle about
money."

Whatever may be the issue of the dispute between
Isabella and her husband, there is no reason to fear
that the traditions of the race will not be preserved.
Count Girgenti and his wife, the Infanta Isabella,
daughter of the ex-Queen, are already involved in a
suit which will add to the Bourbon fame; but in this
case the positions are reversed. It is the wife who
complains of the husband's extravagance; he is, In-
deed, accused of having squandered the whole of her
dowry, and she now claims a separation a meson et
Moro.
