TILE LARGE BEQUEST TO TILE QUEEN.
The Kentish G'asettc adds tie following particulars
to the statement puhlished by ns on Monday last :—" Mr.
John Camden Medd, of Lincoln's-inn, was possessed of as
immense fortune, but was of very eccentric and penurious
habits. At the death of his father,2o years since, became into
possession of about 260,0001. ,which sum had not been touched
up to the period of his death. The deceased was never
known to wear a great coat. He nsually dressed in a blue
coat, with metal buttons, which he prohibited being
brushed, uit would take off the nap and deteriorate its
value. lie held considerable leaded property in Kent and
in Bucks, and was always happy to receive an invitation
from his tenantry to visit them, which he occasionally
' did, often remaining n month at a time, 11l he was thus
enabled to add to his savings. Ws appearance and
manners led strangers to imagine that he was in the
lowest verge of penury, and their compassion was
'lofted in his behalf, an instance of which may be
mentioned. Just before the introduction of the rail-
way system of travelling, the deceased had been on a
visit to some of his estates, and was returning to London,
when the coach stopped at Farainghatn. With the excep-
tion of our miser the passengers all retired to the inn.
Missing their coach companion, and recollecting his decayed
appearance, they connived he was in distressed circum-
stances, and accordingly a sum was subscribed and a bump-
ing glass of brandy and water kindly sent out to the poor
gentlemen, which he thankfully accepted. Many instances
of &similar character might be related. A few days before
his death the deceased told one of his executors that he
bad made a most singular will, but as the property was his
own he had done as he pleased with it. The executors are
the Keeper of the Privy Purse for the time being (Dr.
Teethe) and Mr. J. Stevens, of Willesbnrough. After be-
queathing a few very trifling legacies, the deceased has left
the whole of his immense fortune to "Her Most Gracious
Majesty Queen Victoria, begging her Majesty's most get-
eioua acceptance of the same, for her sole use and benefit,
and of her heirs, itc." For some years past Mr. Neild has
scarcely allowed himself the common necessaries and com-
forts of life, and has left a poor old housekeeper, who was
with him for more than 28 years, without the smallest pro-
vision or acknowledgment for her protracted and far from
agreeable or remunerative services."

PRESENT OP A FIRE-PROOF SAFE FROM HER
MAJEsTY.—Tbe fire-proof safe, for which the Society for
the Encouragement of Art awarded to Mr. John Chubb an
honorary testimonial, has been purchased by the Queen for
a birthday present to her aunt the Dueness of Gloucester.
The safe is of polished steel, berutifully inlaid with fine
gold.—Alenekeskr Examiner.
CHANGING FoSTUNF..—During the early part of
the week it war reported In this city that • young man
named Hugh Belfrage, a private in the 4th Light Dragoons,
stationed at Norwich, had become entitled to a princely
fortune, by the death of a relative. On inquiry of the in-
dividual, ha stated that he is a native of Perth in Scotland,
and It apposes that between 30 and 40 years ago an uncle of
his father, who was a silk mercer or al& dyer, left Scotland
and settled ha the West Indies. There he realised a large
fortune, and about 20 years ago he died intestate, and with-
out issue. The father of Belfrage was the heir at law,hat as
he understand that the property had been principally
acquired is des slave trade, he declined upon oonscientious
grounds *apply for it, considering that good could not
ems ei Nara so obtained. The property was, under these
dronmatinow, taken possession of by the authorities, in
whoa hands it has continued ever since, and it is now sup-
posed to amount to about half a million. Hugh IkUnge,
the dragoon, is the heir at kw, his father being dead, anda '
professional gentleman has intimated to him his willingness
to lend him his assistance in recovering the property.—
