RIIMARKABLI WILL CARE.

A very remarkable will case has occupied the
Court of Excheqner at Dublin for the last three days The
most eminent counsel have been engaged in it on both
sides. Nominally the plaintiff is a priest, and the de-
fendant a widowed mother, but in reality it is a contest
between the two churches which Dave fought so many
battles in this country. The priest is the Rev. Mr. Kum,
who was called in to attend • man named Maguire. for the
purpose of administeriog to him the last rites the church.
Maguire was an iron-moulder, who was employed a good
deal in England. Although a Roman catholic he was very
inattentive to hie religious duties, and was seldom known
to go to mess. About eleven years ago be married a
protestant, the ceremony having been performed tie
protestant clergyman in • protestant church.r
children were baptized into the Roman catholic church, the
mother herself presenting them at the chapel for that pur-
pose. During the absence of the parents in England the
eldest child was left in Dublin, in charge of Mn. Maguire's
father and mother, who brought her up as a protestant.
After their retara she sent them all to a protestant Sunday
admolt with their father's full knowledge and consent.
Early in April he was attacked with valvular disease of the
heart, and his ease being hopeless, the Rev. Mr. Keon was
sent for, at the defendant's =motion to give him the last
rites of has church. He visited Maguire on the 24th of
April, and baring discovered in confession that has children
were attending protestant schools he refused to give him
absolution until he signed • will consigning them to his cus-
tody, to be educated as Roman catholic. A document of tha
pupa= was drawn up by the plaintiff, and brought by him .
the 27th of April to the dying man. who signed it in tl •
presence of two witness= provided by the priest
and strangersto him. His wife was absent at the time,
and never heard of thin will until noon after her husband's
death, and while she was still nursing the youngest child
she received an attorney's letter requiring her to surrender
the cbildree to the Rev. Mr. Keen and two others, who
had beep pro Jarred joined with him in the trust With
this demand she refused to comply, and entrusted the
children to • charitable association. 'rho priest sought to
Eh.tpoesesarei of the three children by means of a writ of
corpus, but the re, uro made to the writ by the
mother was deemed satishotory, and the court refused to
=for= his claim till the validity of the will should be esta-
blished. It was tried at the last assizes of the county of
Kildare, but the jury could not agree to a verdict. It has
been sow tried agatewith the acme result. in Dublin.

VIENNA, Dic. 2.

The Wiener Zeitung of to-day says : " Circum-
stances generally are not at present favourable to
the issue of a public loan. For the present, prepa-
rations are being made for covering the public ex-
penditure, and especially the repayment of the
amount due to the National Bank. If easures are
also being taken to meet the apprehensions enter-
tained of a depreciation of the currency."
'The Wiener Zeitung has no doubt that the go-
vernment will be enabled to anticipate the pay-
ments of the Bank which have been fixed for the
end of 1866, as the State and the Bank have already
done more than they were called upon to do.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE

Frederick George Really, who was brought up on Wed-
nesday last, upon a charge of forging the sigoaturee of the
Marquis of Anglesey and the Earl of Uxbridge to several
bills of exchange, was yesterday again placed at the bar, to
undergo a final examination upon that charge.
Mr. Lewis, jun., again appeared to prosecute ; and Mr.
Champ appeared on behalf of the prisoner.
Mr. Lewis said he proposed to complete the ease, and call
the Martini. of Anglesey, who would prove that the signa-
ture was not his lordship's, and he would call a witness to
=Titbit the other signatures were not the Earl of Ur-
• 's writing, that nobleman being out of the country.
Mr. wis said he was also anxious to state that, although
the peieoner bad stated that the bills were given to him by
C=Maisey, that statement wiz not for a moment
and he was now prepared to prove that
that gentlemen, who was now Major Massey, was
in India with his regiment, where be had been
for some time, and as Mr. Peters had been so assailed
in cross.examination, be thought he ought to state that
that gentlemen had given every information in his power,
and that it was mainly through his services to the polio,
that the prisoner was apprehended. In reference to the bill
upon the Earl of Westmoreland he did not propose then to
go into that at present, but if it were to be proceeded with
the prisoner would have due notice before the trial.
The Marquis of Anglesey was then sworn, said stated that
neither of the acceptances to the bills produced, purporting
to he his, were written by hint, nor by hie authority. He
did not know the prisoner and he was not • member of the
Junior United Service Club, neither did his lordship bank
with Messrs. Hoare and Company, at whose bank the bills
were made payable.
In answer to Mr. Champ, his lordship said the signature
did not in any way resemble his.
Mark Lyndsay, • clerk at Marra Cox and Co's., army
spats, Crsigs.court, said the Earl of Uxbridge banked with
Messrs. Cox and Co. Ha knew his handwritieg, and the
signature and endorsement to the bill produce, were not
Wm, neither did they bear the slightest resemblance.
Charles Arnett, clerk to Messrs. Clack, army *seats, was
thee cisßed, and proved that Major Morey, known as the
"Reds. Mainey,” was at the time in India with his regi-
ment, where he had been since July last.
The prisoner, alter the usual (maim, to which he replied
that he would reserve his delouse, was committed for trial,
hie lordship refusing to accept bail.

COPENHAGEN, Ocr. 30.

An official declaration has been publis.,ed to-day
relative to the resolution of the k ederal Diet of
the lit October.

This declaration contains the following :—" All
that the Federal Diet will effect by Federal exe-
cution in Holstein can be more easily and
completely obtained by a calm understanding.
The Danish government is willing to meet the
wishes of the Federal Diet in all points
where the independence and equal rights of
Holstein, which belongs to the German Confede-
racy, are considered to be insufficiently guaranteed.
On the other hand, it is also certain that the ful-
filment of all the other poiata required by the
Federal Diet in Holstein would not be obtained by
Federal execution."

Tax Ottoman Goverament has published a com-
plete balance-sheet of the income and expenditure
of the Empire. By this act it pays a homage to
the opinion of the world which it is not easy to
overrate. The finances of a government are in
many important respects the beat koy to its
character ; they unfold its system, and meal both
its strength and it/ weakness. Every wrong ten-
dency, every defect spd mistake in the adminis-
tration of a country, finds ita expression sooner or
later in the budget. Much by been written about
the finances of Turkey, and some able reports on
various portions of their administration have ap-
peared. But full statement of receipts and ex-
penditure is now published for the first time. Of
course, the publication mutt henceforth be annual,
sod the economic condition of Turkey will thus be
brought under the direct ooguieseee of Europe.
This, we believe, is the first instance of the publi-
cation of a budget by a non-Christian Government.

this respect is not far behind
time neiggmists. It s only cosy
lately that the Russian Government haa begun to
publish a national balance-sheet.
Comparing the revenue returns of Turkey in
1862 with those contained in the report on Turkish
Finance, which Lord Hosawr drew up, and which
refer to the financial years 1859-60, we find evi-
dence of considerable progress. Converting the
purses of the present budget into piastres for the
sake of comparison, and omitting the revenues from
the tributary States, which are fixed and invariable,
we find the following results :

Net Increase 523,647,209

Taking the piastre at its present value, 110
to the pound sterling, the increase represents
3,577,7021. The actual increase, however, is
greater. The piastre is worth more than it was
when Lord HOBART made the report from which
we have quoted. Lord HOBART took the piastre at
125 to the pound. The recent reform of the cur-
rency has raised it to its present higher value.
It will be seen from the foregoing statement
that the most important branches of the imperial
revenue in Turkey are the verghi, or income tax,
the dimes, or tithes of agricultural produce, and
the customs duties, 6,654,2721. of the 9,711,808/.
which constituted the Turkish revenue in 1861
having been drawn from these sources. Undereachof
these heads a considerable increase has taken place.
It is impossible to examine the figures of this
budget without perceiving that a moderately eco-
nomical administration of the national resources is
all that is wanting to enable the Turkish Govern-
ment not only to fulfil all its engagements, but to
enjoy a good surplus annual revenue.

ADDRESS TO THE FRENCH NATION.

The subjoined address to the French nation has
just been issued by the National Government of
Warsaw :

For • knit time past Europe contemplated, with a feeling
of melancholy regret, Poland fallen from her former power,
and looked upon • body from which the soul appeared to
have departed. To endwise succeeded forgetfulness, even
where honour and oonscieoce should have perpetrated the
same remembrances of glory. "It is a corpse ! " said the
nations. " Falsehood l" replied Poland. "Blood cannot
flow from the bosom of a corpse !" A cry of menace ant
suffering, the echo of superhuman enmities', turned public
attention towards a martyred people demanding an exist-
mos which bad been too long contested. " Poland is not
deed!" said the nations. " She is not dead !" you en-
claimed, noble chimes, in proem* of the French people,
of whom you Sr. the living language. That cry resounded
in our fraternal harts like • sigma of deliverance and wel-
fare. We said to our brothers in arms, "The love of Po-
land has at all times been the moral nobility of France ;
she ow only be deprived of that distinction at the cost of
her downfall as an initiating nation in progress and liberty."
We all, sons of that suffering Poland, children of that land
bathed in the tears of old men and mothers and the blood
of martyrs and heroes, embrace you cordially for your sym-
pathetic participation in oar struggles. Friends of Poland,
rewire the salute of those who are about to die! (Here

BRITISH DESPATCH TO RUSSIA.

The Paris Nation of last evening says that Lord Na-
pier was to hand Prince Gortchakoff on Wednesday
a despatch conciliatory in contents and form. The
despatch terminates thus :—" Russia must not for-
get that the rights of the Poles are written upon
the same treaty which gave Poland to Russia."

PARIS. BAIRIDAT liosarnio.

The Courrier du Ditnanehe says that Earl Russell
has sent a despatch to St. Petersburg, the argu-

preceding notes.
According to the Courrier, the present despatch

rights to Poland.
The Courrier also states that Prance ;was not
disposed to adhere to the English despatch on

Dr. Deane, Q.C., moved for probate of eighteen testa-
mentary papers which bad been left by the late Lord Henry
Seymour, and which had been treated by the Preach
courts a oontaining the will of the doomed. Lord Henry
was born in France in 1808, and he died there in 1859,
leaving • considerable property, the bulk of which he had
left to the hospitals of London and Paris. He had travelled
a good deal, and he had undoubtedly possessed some
Englieh tastes ; but as • matter of fact be bad never met
foot within the United Hinndom. There could thus be no
doubt as to his French domicile. He bad commenced will
making in December, 1855, and be bad left off in July,
1859 ; haviag in the interim drawn up 21 testamentary
papers, all of which were holographs, but three of them had
been rejected by the French tribunals on the ground of irre-
gularity.
The court made thedeeree as prayed.

waved information of certain Poles having been banded over

imaveyed to Warsaw. He bad heard that it was decidedly
true that they bail been 100 handed over ; and he had also
beard that in another inotanoe some Poles arrested is
Prussian territory had been delivered up to the Russian
and subsequently shot. He wished to know
whether the government had received any information on
those point..
Earl RUctiELL eald the only information received by
him was a despatch sent by Sir Andrew Buchanan, stating
that two Polish students had bees arrested in Prone, and
that a demaod had been made by the Russian authorities
that they should be handed over to them. The French
ambasaosior, however, had claimed these two young men on
the ground that they were naturalised subjects of France,

be delivered up to the Russians, That was the only amount

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(ROY OUR OWN

PARIS. 'romanAy Evavlro•

The French government now emphatically adopts
the assertion of the Prussian government that there
has been no violation of the Prussian territory by
Russian troops. The following communicated note
has been sent to the evening papers :

SOON journals persist in affirming that, contrary to the
declaration of M. Balkan in the Senate on March 19, the
Prussian government has, in execution of the convention of
Feb. 8, authorised Russian troops to traverse its territory
to the extent of twelve or fifteen leagues. This news,
already contradicted, is entirely false.

This special pleading contradiction is so remark-
ably worded as to raise the suspicion that the
thing denied is in substance true. The comma-
niquh does not say that Russian troops have not
crossed Prussian territory at all, but it denies
the precise mileage of twelve or fifteen leagues, and
it denies the authority of the Prussian govern-
ment. The Pays, however, is more explicit. It
says that K Droop) de Lhnys has received from
their excellencies the Russian and Prussian am-
bassadors "formal assurances which exclude all
doubt, and from which it appears that the news
of a pretended entry of Russian troops
into Prussia is untrue." It adds that

the question being now " peremptorily set-
tled," there is no excuse for the newspapers
making any more fuss about it. This means, I
suppose, that the journals are to be warned if they
examine any evidence against the assertions of the
ambassadors. Nevertheless, the Opinion Nationale,
in the very same column which contains the above
communique, ventures to assert that all the cor-
respondence from Russia, Prussia, and Poland
brings facts daily which prove that the convention
of Feb. 8 is " not a dead letter," that the Prussian
territory has been violated, and that King William
tramples on the principle of non-intervention for
the benefit of the Czar. The doubt upon this
matter of fact cannot possibly subsist much longer.
The Bourse continues firm, and a large business
has been done. Bente rose lbe.
The army estimates will come before the Corps
Legislatif on Friday, and M. Picard is then ex-
pected to make a speech on the subject of the war
in Mexico.

CLERGYMAN. .

This wan the fiat meeting wiri7l;; case of this gentleman,
described ss a clervman, and rector of Rucking*, Kent.
The reverend applicant came to the court on the tith of
March, stating his inability to meet his engagements to have
arisen from "liabilities incurred in railway speculations in
1853 And 1854, which he had never been able to overcome
in consequence of the inadequacy of his income. The
aggregate liabilities are upwards of 2,0001., but of these a
large proportion are due to two relatives, via., Brook
Muriel of Sydeobam, 6271. ; and Miss Muriel of Ely, Cam-
bridgeshire, 3001.
Mr. Firley, who represented creditors to the amount of
70W., applied for an adjournment for three weeks on the
ground that an arrangement was pending with creditors by
which it was hoped to take the matter oat of court.
An adjournment for three weeks wan ordered.
