ME. wars IMAGINARY VOYAGE.

Mr. Okey, • near relative of the late Colonel
Garwood, sad who was for many years attached to the
British embassy in Paris, has collected his 'spirituel@ of
continental life, and put them together in the shape of •
rather ingeniously
_constructed lecture for the amusement
0f the public. More ambitious then Alpert Smith, who
sued W get no higher than the top of Mont Blase, this
geaticiana takes eight in a balloon, and travels with some
pleasant companions from the Hippodrome in Paris, all the
way to little Wildbad, on the confines of the Black Forest.
The spectator is to imagine that the enterprising
M. Petin has at last complete i his wrist ship, and
in company with a French count, an Italian countess,
a German baron, and Mr. Okey himself, makes his trial
trip over the ground above indicated. Aaecilntes are told
of mrial navigation from Bishop Wilkins to Mr. Green, de-
scriptive sketches are given of the various lions of Paris,
and the ettractive features along the route, and • literary
conversation is cleverly sustained, enriched by short read-
ings from French, German, and English authors. The de-
scription of Dumas 's play is capital, end the legend of
lludach will not speedily be forgotten by those who take
the trouble to go and hear it. Some good and new
tourists' stories fill up the entertainment, until at teat
the imaginary party alight on terra firma, and do-
part on their several ways after • friendly glum of
kirschwasser. There is in this little entertainment a great
affluence of attractive =renal, and Mr. Okey's mode of
delivery indicates both the gentleman and the scholar, but
• little previous training from some old professional head,
and • little excision and transposition from • professional
pair of scissors, would make the lecturer bring out his
points better, and glee to the entertainment a more corn-
pact and better connected character. The pictoriel sketehes
are, as the bill states, " below criticism," and it is • pity
they should be so, as the subject is highly susceptible of
Jessie illustration, and would, there is no doubt, with the
aid of a good diorama, become as popular as any of its
competitors for public favour. The lecture is accompanied
on the piano by Kim Okey, a performer of high culture and
capability.

DINNER TO THE LORD MAYOR.

Last night the united wards of Cripplegate Within
and Without invited their alderman, the lard Mayor, to a
complimentary dinner at the Albion Hotel, Aldersgate-
street. About a hundred and fifty of the principal inhabi-
tants of the two wards were present, sad the company was
presided over by Mr. JONN DILLON.

THE CITY CORPORATION COMMISSION.—Yesterday
morning the first sitting of the commissioners took place, at
the official residence of the Prime Minister in Gowning-
street. At It o'clock, the commissioners—the Right lion.
Henry Labeuchere, the Right Hon. Sir John Pattison, and
G. C. Lewis, Esq., attended at Lord Aberdeen's office, but
none of the City magistrates were in attendance, and the re-
presentatives of the public press were not admitted. The pro-
ceedings were, it is understood, of a formal nature. The
commissioners were engaged in consultation up to 2 o'clock,
and are to sit again on Tuesday next, at 12, and there is
reason to believe that they will sit every Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 12 o'clock for some
weeks to come. It is stated that the inquiry is to commence
on Tuesday next, at twelve o'clock, and that reporters art
to be afforded every accommodation.

ITALY.

The presence in Turin of M. Kahoschin, formerly
Russian minister at the Pieamontese court, has lately
excited speculation, considering that diplomatic re-
lations between Piedmont and Russia has been
suspended since 1848.
We read in the Parlament° of Turin of the 23rd
inst.:

The refugees, through the medium of their chief, Abbi
Charles Canserani, presented an address to Count Camille
de Covens, on the occasion of the disturbances of the 18th,
in which they observe—" It is needless for men who have
suffered and continue to suffer for their beloved country to
recommend you courage and energy under those circum-
stances. Make known to the throne, of which you are one
of the firmest supporters, that not one of the numerous
refugees residing at Turin took part in the riots of the 18th.
The excesses committed by a handful of deluded men can-
not injure the honour of your name nor impair the solidity
of the new institutions of Piedmont."

GERMANY.

-

The Court party at Berlin have for some time
been making great efforts to withhold the Prussian
King from his promised visit to Madgeburg—a visit
intended to mark the reconciliation of the sovereign
and people after the painful events of 1848. The
good advice of M. Manteuffel and the Prince of
Prussia, however, overcame this influence, and on the
23rd the King laid the foundation stone of the new
convent of St. Augustine, and afterwards attended
a civic banquet with his brother and the Premier.
After dinner the King filled his glass, and, rising,
said :

Gentlemen, I invite you to drink to the weal of this an-
cient city. Magdeburg has asked me to come to the solemn
celebration of a benevolent enterprise, and that it is our
joy to have done this morning. I hold this circumstance,
as attaching to my first re-appearenco hen after a long ab-
sentee, to be a good sign ; for sure lam that, where the
virtues of love and benevolence exist, the virtues of courage
and fidelity will not fail in the day of commotion and
danger. In this bright hope, and with my hearty thanks
for the kind reception I have encountered, and which I
cannot enough acknowledge, let us drink to Magdeburg,
with three hearty cheers.

The Bavarian Chambers are to meet on the 15th of

MAINE LIQUOR LA IV Folt ENGLAND.

On Wednesday evening a public meeting war held
in the Manchester Corn Exchange to inaugurate a sew
association, celled "The United Kingdom Alliance," esta-
blished for the purpose of endeavoring to procure the sup-
pression, by legislative enactment, of all traffic in apiritous
liquors or intoxicating drinks.
Mr. POPE, the secretary, stated that letters had been
received from 150 other influential persons in various
parts of the country, expressing the most ardent
sympathy with the objects of the meeting. lie then pro-
ceeded to read a declaration agreed to by a conference of
the gentlemen present, previously held at the Aflunxam,
setting forth the principles on which the alliance was
formed—a declaration in substance similar to that on which
the Maine liquor law movement in the United Stotts of
America is carried forward. He also read the resolution
agreed to at the conference, recommending the appoihtnunt
of lecturers and agents, publication of tracts and silJristois,
sfec., in furtherance of the movement. One 11501u:ion
pledged the council to aid the executive in rising a Lund of
2,0001. to defray the expenses of the first ytar's egitatioo;
and in reference to this Mr. Pope stated that a subscript ion
was opened at the contcrence which had already rei.ebsd

The resolution was seconded by Mr. J. S. Ilrcumiii.aw,
supported by the Rev. L. P•NTINIi, and carried unani-

BATTEWSEA NEW BRIDGE AND PAWL—These
links are progressing towards completion at snail-like pace.
They were commenced three or four years ago:: and yet, to
the passing observer, they appear not one whit more ad-
vanced than they were two years ago. At that time the
coffer-dams necessary for erecting the towers to support the
chains were completed, and the foundations of the towers
laid, but the towers have not yet raised their heads above
the top of the dams. To protect the dams, two huge dredges
are placed—one above and the other below the site of the
intended bridge. On the north, or Middlesex side, the
pier to which the chains are to be fixed has been raised to
high water height, but is iucomplete, end a river wall
has been erected on either side of it at low water mark,
and, like the pier, is brought up to high water height.
Behind, everything is in a state of confusion, and all but at
a standstill. On the south or Surrey side the pier has also
been raised to high water height, but nothing has as yet
been done to construct the river wall. Immediately behind
the pier, on the Surrey side, an excavation has been made
to a depth below the level of the bottom of the river chan-
nel, and is being prepared to support the pier, and give
additional strength and security to the chains. The old
" Red House" is tenantless and in ruiva. Except a mound
of about a quarter of a mile in length, thrown up on the
eastern side of the intended new park, nothing has been
doneM Et°l7lTarEßdsliAlliarliit.TELEGßAPlL—Mr. Brett wes
expected at Turin on the 23rd, to lay the lines of the tele•
grsgh along the islands of Corsica and Sardinia. The sub-
marine wires connecting the former island witk the main-
land at Speszia, will not be laid down until the ensuing
.enrine.

IRELAND.

Dratin, Oct. 27.
The rain still continues, with vary brief moments
ot sittermissiou. 'the accounts from every part of
Ireland oeserioe the country as almost inundated
from the constant torrents which have been falling
for so many days. Winter, indeed, appears to have
already set in with much severity ; and unfortunately
it him overtaken a large quantity of outstanding corn
belonging to the poorer class of smell farmers, which
still lies ungathered in the fields, and, as may be ex-
pected, is in a very precarious condition. In the
mountain districts the streams have overflown to such
an extent as to have done much mischief ; and the
Hoods in some of the low countries have entered the
houses. No pat tot Ireland appears to have eicaped
the heavy rains.

May nooth Commission appears in Saunders 's lines

The Commissioners are puruing their inquiry with the
most indcbantabl• real. In addition to the prufeseors,
deans, and heads of the College, several students from each
class are teLen in succession, and subjected to a rigid exa-
mination, nest only upon certain potato tit Roman catholic

of the shegiance to the 4u• s n as indoctrinated at ItAsyneoth,
as well es to the extent of obedience Roman catholic& an
bound to mire to the authority of the holy see. The ques-
tion of education, generally, forms, ot Cowie, a leading fea-
ture of the incesti+stitin, and some of the more advanced
students' acquirements hate been severely tested by what
undit be deemed a regular and academie examination on
the part of the commissioners.
At the l'unionstown Quarter Sessions yesterday,
the Rev. Peter O'Keeffe, 161111111 catholic priest,
pleaded guilty to having committed an assault on
Paul Edghill, a Scripture reader, on the 6th inst.
The Assistant liarrieter, after consulting for a few
minutes with his brother magistrates, said (address-
ing the reverend defendant) that he had a most dis-
tressing duty to perform; but the rev. gentleman
having expressed his regret for the act, and from the
strong recommendation of the Rev. Mr. Scott, pro-
testant vicar, he thought the ends of justice would be
satisfied by fining the defendant the sum of Is., or
45 hours imprisonment.
Mrs. Luthoin Ranker, one of the sufferers by the
late railway accident, and who was removed on Mon-
day from Strathin Station to the Terminus Hotel,
King's-bridge, is progressing favourably, under the
care of Mr. Adams and Sir Philip Crampton.
Upwards of 16,000 persons visited the Great Ex-
hibition yesterday. Among them were 400 school
children, and 200 of the tenantry of the Right Hon.
Sidney Herbert, who was there himself on the occa-
sion. Several hundred children from various public
institutions werq also treated with a visit to the Ex-
hibition yesterday.

THE POLICE COVET&

MANSION-HOW3E.
JoAn Sknietwors, alias James Stuart, alias Mr. JoA.seos,
was brought before the court for further examination.
Alderman Wire having asked whether the prisoner had
any legal assistance, the prisoner replied, " No, I hope not.
Upon the last occasion I was prevented, by the officiouneas
of friends, from defending myself, and a prejudice was raised
against me by the legal help they afforded me. I shall now
try it on for myself.' (A laugh.)
The prisoner, it will bo recollected, was charged with
haviag obtained money as commission upon the sale of
galvanic apparatus. and with having played off a variety of
tricks in order to come at the commission, and as a 601.
forged cheque was found in his possession, there was good
reason for believing that he had been endeavouring to use
that instrument to carry more dangerous intentions into
execution.
Mr.genry Dirck,:of 'Moorgate-street, patent agent, having
repeated the statement that the prisoner had induced him to
pay five guineas to Messrs. Horn and Thornthwaite, of New -
gate-street, opticians, for a galvanic apparatus, by which oil
was to be made from London clay, was cross-examined by
the prisoner, who was, however, unable to shake the wit-
noes statements.

-----
Mr. W.— H. Thornthwaite said—About the end of No-
vember, between 7 and S o'clock one evening, the prisoner
called at my shop. He represented himself as a physician
or medical man, end said that he was in the habit of getting
orders for ?alvanie apparatus for medical purposes—in fact,
of prescribing them to his patients. He then asked me it
he brought orders for such articles, mentioning at the same
time that it was certainly infra dig. for a medical man to
deal in that way, whether I would allow him aommission ?
He said that he bad been dealt with in that way by other
firms, and he hinted that he had bad a disagreement with
the parties who bad previously supplied him. I told
him that be need feel no great delicacy on the subject, as
some of the first-rate medical men were in the constant
habit of dealing in that way, and when they gave orders of
the kind, it was usual to make them some allowance, and
we, as manufacturers, had no objection. I told himi we
allowed the usual discount. I had some suspicion of him at
the time, as he had his cloak around his face, and he hesi-
tated about giving his name. At last he got a promise from
me that I would al:ow him 20 per cent. He then said he
had got two orders at the present moment which he wished
,to have executed, one of which was an order for the lippe-

which I mast request you to correct. I stated that
in the list of bankrupts at the Bourse might be seen
the name of the grand chamberlain, the Duke de
Basun°, in the character of gerant to the Bone
Mining Company et Algeria. 1 ant now informed,
on undoubted authority, that the Duke de Bassano,
who for many years, ass well known, has filled high
diplomatic stations at various foreign courts, is not
and never was !grant of the Bone or any other mining
company, and that he certainly is not a bankrupt. I
have seen the copy of a deed from which it appears
that the !grant of that company is Hugues Joseph
Antoine Eugene do Bassano—another person, to
whom a grant of the Bone Mines was made in 1845.
I am unable toexplain how it happened that for the
space of three or four days " Maret de Bassano,
Place Vendome, N 0.19," appeared in the list exhibited
at the bourse. In justice to myself, I must say that
it was not doubted among the bystanders that the
Duke de Bassano was the person alluded to, and the
fact is so stated in Spanish, Italian, and German
journals. However long before the usual time, the
announcement of this bankruptcy was withdrawn,
and I am assured that the official responsible for its
publication will be dismissed. AU that concerns me
is to contradict the report to which I gave circula-

bankrupt, and this I now do in an unqualified man-

SUSPECTED POISONING AT EARDISLEY.—An
rendered necessary by flying rumours that a man
and an infant child had come to their deaths by unfair
means, was held on Friday last, at the New Inn, Eardis-
ley, Herefordshire, by N. Lanwarue, Esq., coroner. An
earthenware dealer named Herretts died rather suddenly on
the 16th September last. No suspicion was at the time
entertained of his having been poisoned; his death
being, on the contrary, attributed to the effects of
hard drinking. Since that time, about a month ago,
a daughter of the deceased became the mother of an il-
legitimate child, which soon afterwards died. Family

request that you will deliver your order for the disinter-'
went of the bodies of Thomas Herretta and Herretts, as
there are suspicions existing that their deaths were not
natural. We therefore require you to hold an inquest
thereon." The inquest was accordingly held, and a verdict
was found, " That the deceased died from natural causes."
An inquest was afterwards held on the body of an infant
child of Caroline Herren), ands similar verdict to the last

The Rev. JOHN BrRMIT moved—" That as it is of the
utmost importance to the peace of Europe, and to the gene-
ral interests of civilisation and humanity, that friendly and
cordial relations should exist between this country and
France, this conference deems it to be the special and solemn
duty of all friend. of peace earnestly to discourage what-
ever has a tendency to revive suspicions and jealousies b -
tween these two great nations, and to promote all such
measures as shall serve, by extending their commerce and
multiplying their amicable relations, to bind them more
closely in the ties of independence and friendship."

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 24th publishes a royal
order in reply town application from several senators
and deputies and notable electors of Madrid praying
that the local authorities may not throw any obstacle
in the way of the elections, stating that the royal
order of the 17th on this subject must be respected.
The application in question would, it is said, in the
order of the 24th, if complied with, amount to the
annulment of the order of the 17th.

GERMANY.

The Augsburg Gazette publishes a further des-
patch, dated Berlin, December 28, from M. de
Manteuffel to M. do Hatzfeldt, the Prussian ambas-
sador in Paris. In this document the important fact
—not hitherto officially certain—clearly appears that
Austria, Prussia, and Russia settled in concert the
terms in which they thought fit to recognise the
French empire. It also appears from this state
paper that the three great powers, so far from re-
cognising the empire purement et simp'ement, as the
French government journals pretended they would
do, emphatically insisted upon the observance of ex-
isting treaties, dwelt upon the obligation of European
powers to maintain the present territorial limits, and
only accepted Louis Napoleon's peaceable declara-
tions after professing, in courteous diplomatic lan-
guage, to understand them in a sense notoriously
d'fferent from that in which they were uttered.
The ungallant allusions to German princesses
scattered through L-inis Napoleon's speech are not
well received by the German press. The Mecklen-
burg North German Correspondent, referring to the
passage in which the reigning house of Mecklenburg
is qualified as "secondary; says that this princely
house is not only one of the oldest and noblest in
Europe, but has at all times seen its daughters on
royal thrones, with which that of Louis Napoleon
will bear no comparison.
The Vienna Gazette of the 25th contains the
speech at the Tuileries. The passage in which it is
said that the House of Austria went about to obtain
a place on Napoleon's throne for Maria Louisa, is
marked with two notes of interrogation.

MONTENEGRO.

A letter in the Vienna Gazette, dated frontiers of
Montenegro, Jan. 14, says :—" The day before yes-
terday the Turks commenced operations against Mon-
tenegro by a concentrated attack. The Pacha of
Antivari, at the head of 8,000 men, including 6
tabors (of 800 men each) of regular infantry, de-
' scended from the neighbourhood of Sattermari into
the Zernitachka Nahia, and pressed forward as far as
to the villages of Limtjani, Olubido, and Plarnenzi,
which he destroyed with fire. Towards evening,
being threatened on his flanks by the Monte-
negrins, he returned to his:former mountainous posi-
tion. To-day it is rumoured that the mountaineers
having collected their forces which were scattered
through the hinder nahias, end marched into that of
Zernitschka, have driven the Pacha of Antivari from
the mountain, and also compelled Osman Paths, of
Scutari, who was operating from Zabljak with 9,000
men, to return to his original position. We hear
that Omar Pasha, with from 20,000 to 24,000 men
and 8 guns, has pushed on to Podgorizza, and ap-
pears to menace Cettinje, the capital of Montenegro.
The mountaineers fight with the enery of despair.
According to a later report of the 19th (?) the Turkish
troops on their way from Andvari to the Rimini and
in the Zernitacbka nahia encountered no notable op-
position.

BELGIUM.

The numerous foreign officers in the military ser-
vice of Belgium were, on the 28th ult., the subject of
an animated debate in the Chamber of Representa-
tives. M. Perceval proposed to remove all these
officers from the army, making a becoming recom-
pense to them for their past services. In case of war
both they and Belgium would be placed in a false
position, as soon as they were asked to draw their
swords against their native country. Honour, the
oath, and naturalisation might be pleaded, but a
Frenchman was a Frenchman after all. The govern-
ment strenuously resisted the motion, as one of sus-
picion and ostracism. M. Brouckere, chief of the
cabinet, said there were Frenchmen, Prussians,
Saxons, Swiss, and Dutch in the service, most of
them naturalised, and thus Belgians according to the
constitution. He adjured the house to reject the
motion by an imposing insjority. M. Perceval, in'
answer to the remark of the minister that the bill
was not required, said that he had a letter from
several French officers praying him to press his
proposition. This announcement was the cause of
great excitement, amidst which the minister de-
manded the names of officers serving in Belgium
upon the same footing as natives, and whoyet were
speculating for retiring pensions. He demanded to
know who they were, that on the very next day
they might cease to belong to the Belgian army.
The debate was speedily closed, and in a house of 78
only 8 voted for the proposition.

AMERICAN MARKETS.

NSW YORK, Faa. 19.
There is more demand for money, and some calling in of
6 per cent. loans ; and it is now difficult to borrow below 7
per cent. At this rate the supply is still abundant, although
less freely offered. We can learn of no large engagements
of specie for to-morrow's steamer, and from present ap-
pearances but little will be shipped. The imports of dry
nods continue large, the total for the week being 600,000
dole. in advance of the corresponding week of last year.
IForein Exchange is quiet, without change in rates.
Bills on London 110 to 1101; Paris, 6.131 c to 5.111. The
stock market is heavy, and nearly all descriptions are lower.
Corn/J.—The market has continued depressed, notwith-
standing the favourable news by the America; the sales to-
day are 960 bales eta farther reduction in some particulars,
making a decline for three days of to I ; the sales for
three days are 4,200 bales, and for six days 7,100 bales.

BRIAMPUPPII.-At the opening this morning, the flour
market was somewhat depressed, and some sales of common
State were made as low as 4 dole. 870. ; but this price
was freely offered fir more, without finding takers, and
the market closes with more firmness, there being no good
brands offered even at 4 dole. 931 c., so that our quotations
remain very much without change.

A RIVAL TO TEA.

THE LEAVES OF THE COFFEE PLANT.

The ii;;;;;;; ice. 1;;e..; has an article re-
commending the use of the coffee leaf as a aut.
stitute for OW berry. The sensible writer appears
to be an English planter of the Dutch settlement of
Padang, in Sumatra, where the coffee plant has been
cultivated for several generations, and where it is
now produced in larger quantity and of better quality
than in any country of the Malayan Islands, Java
excepted. The coffee plant is an evergreen large
shrub, which yields a profusion of leaves, and bears
fruit for about 20 years. The leaf, and even the
twigs, have, in a minor degree, the same stimulating
and exhilarating property as the berry, and its
habitual use by the natives of the country, agricultu-
ral Malays of very simple habits, and little amenable
to innovation, shows:that they at least find the coffee
leaf to make • wholesome and agreeable beverage.
The introduction of this article into our consumption
would, we cannot help thinking, be a benefit to the
poor and to our colonial planters. Of the patentee
we know nothing, except that he iv not the Dr. Gard-
ner who wrote "Travels in Brazil," that gentle-
man, a scientific botanist, having been dead for some
years. The patent, if there be one, can only extend
to some particular mode of preparing the leaves.
In order to render coffee leaves marketable for
European consumption, we fancy the bog mode of
preparation will consist in subjecting them to the
same kind of manipulation as tea and for
be
:Zs,
this purpose it would probably t, at first,
to employ, for instruction, Chinese in the art,
such men as Mr. Fortune lately brought from the
northern provinces of China to Upper India. The
leaves of coffee, neither fleshy nor succulent, are even
more easily dried than those of teat and being larger
and more abundant, while the plant itself is more
easily reared than tea, and embraces a much wider
geographical range, it is certain they might be sold
at a lower pries than the poorest kink of Bohn. It
may be added that the leaves so prepared would not be
amenable to the charge of adulteration so often urged
against the ground berry. The subject is worth the
attention of planters, traders, and consumers.

THE LAMENT OF THE UNSEATED.

(From Punch.)
Do ion ask me why I whistle such a melancholy tune ?
I'm a target for the jester; I'm a butt for the buffoon.
When I contested Knaveston I was swindled out of bounds,
And now I have to whistle for my live thousand pounds.
How the money could have gone, I'm quite unable to con-

ceive, .
For the free and independent, as I verily believe,
Polled for me from purest motive—to their credit which re-
dounds—
But yet I have to whistle for my five thousand pounds.
Lots of rough but honest fellows, I am told, my colours
wore,
Three hundred stalwart fighting men that staves and blud-

geons bore ;
And since I wu thus popular, my reason it confounds
To think I have to whistle for my five thousand pounds.
Every street on my behalf with bands of brazen music rang,
Ballads to my praise and glory friends at every corner sang ;
Easy triumph I expected from these very cheering sounds,
And not to have to whistle for my 'five thousand pounds.
Multitudes of boon companions with continual hooray,
Sat from morn till evening, drinking my success from day
to day
At the Green Man, and the Dolphin, and the Sun, andiron
and Hounds,
Whereas I have to whistle for my five thousand pounds.
The elutore mast among them have had a deal of money

spe
But I don't know where it came from, and I can't think
how mine went:
One signs the lawyer's cheque, of course, and questions
ne'er propounds,
And I have just to whistle for my Svc thousand pounds.
For although I won the battle, the opponent whom I beat
Petitioned ; and the consequence is, I have lost my seat,
Of bribery and treating, by my agent, on the grounds ;
And so am left to whistle for my five thousand pounds.

Ns W. Pau Wow.
10/I.—JUDOWNNT.

His Honour gave judgment in this ease, in which the two
main questions were whether certain annuities given by. the
will of the testator terminated so completely at a given
period, that the arrears then due could not be recovered,
and whether these annuities were charged on the annual
torte only, ar on the corpus of the estate. The testator,
who died in 1830, had by his will given all his manor of
Sneaton and Sneaton Carle, and his Yorkshire estate and
his sugar estates in St. Vincent, with the slaves and stock
thereon, and all the rest of his real estate whatsoever, to
trustees on trust to permit his daughters to reside in Bneaton,
Castle rent free. and during their residence therein, out of
the rents and profits of his said manor and estates, to levy
the clear yearly sum of 1,0001., and thereout to pay the
costs of repairs of the mansion, and to pay the residue to
his daughters, or apply it to their maintenance and the ex-
penses of their establishment, and also to raise for each of
his said daughters the clear annual sum of 200'., end to in-
vest the surplus rents and profits of his real estates to accu-
mulate until it reached the sum of 40,0001., and then to
condone the accumulations till the further sum of 100,0001.

was raised. The testator then directed that the annuities
to hie daughters should cease when the 40,0001. was raised,
or at the espiration of 21 years after his death, and the in-
terest of the 40,0001. was then to be divided among them,
and when the 100,000/. (w hich sum was to be invested in land)
was accumulated, then the 1,0001. per annum and the re
aidence in Sneston Castle was to cease, and subject to such
accumulations the testator gave his real estate to his
daughters successively in strict settlement ; and the tes-
tator then gave his personal estate to the trustees in trust
to sell and pay his debts, funeral, and testamentary **-
pews, and the legacies given DT his will. The estate of
the testator had proved insufficient to pay the annuities,
the 21 years had elapsed, and the annuities, as well as the
castle fund, were greatly is arrest.
The Vice-Chancellor held that the annual rents and
profits of the estate continued liable, notwithstanding the
expiration of the 21 years, to pay off the arrears of the an-
nuities and of the castle fund, but that there was no chase
of three sums upon the corpus of the estate.
