CRYSTAL PALL4CE—The many and varied attrac-
tions of the Crystal P•laoe are enhanced at the present mo-
ment, when the incidents of the Prince of Wales' North
American tour are exciting universal interest at home, by
an admirably eaecuted model of the Victoria Rail-
way Bridge, which occupies • conspicuous place in the
southern nave. The length of this model is upwards of
30 feet, and being constructed with mathematical Rom-
ney and placed upon au enormous sheet of looking-glans,
which serves for the broad iron it spans, it realises more
truthfully than any drawing could possibly do the enor-
mous proportions of this masterpiece of Stephenson's ge-
nius, compared with which the magnificent railway bridge
over the Menai Straits is but an lam:Aloe conception. It
is scarcely necessary to add, what every reader who pays
attention to such matters will no doubt be aware of, that
the original work which the model at the Crystal
Palace is so well adapted to bring home to our senses is the
connecting link in the railway communication between the
two sides of the St. Lawrence—that it is a portion of the
Grand Trunk scheme, and that it spans that river at •
point where it is within • few yards only of two miles in
width, and u consequently by far the largest bridge in the
world. Those whom the attractions of Tonic Sol-Fu,
dower shows, or rifle practice draw to the Sydenham
Palace, will hardly fail to find attraction in this must com.
piste representation of s,-work which casts almost into the
shade of insignificance the engineering wonders of the
ancients, ►nd in the completion of which the heir to the
British throne must feel it oo alight privilege to have as.
ested. The fine weather of the present week has been suffi-
cient inducement for the management to recommend the
Saturday promenades. The band of the Rayal Marines is
announced to perform in the grounds this afternoon, and
Mr. Colwell's balloon will ascend at five o'clock.

WILIA AND lIRQUIRITIL —Vice-Admiral Pechell :
The will of Vice-Admiral Sir George Robert Brooke Pathan,
Y.P. for Brightoo, late of Castle Goring, Sussex, and of
Hill-street, Berkeley-square, who died on the 29th of June
last at the age of 71, was proved in her Majesty's Court of
Probate on the lot instant, by his relict, the Hon. Kathe-
rine Annabelle Brooke, Lady Pechell, the daughter of the
late Cecil, Lord de la Zouche, her ladyship being appointed
the sole executrix. The personalty was sworn under
30,0001. Sir George has bequeathed all his property, real
and personal, to his wife absolutely. The admiral was
married to her ladyship in 1826, and had issue three
children, one non and two daughters ; the latter are
both arried to gentlemen of high position, but,
the only son and heir of Sr George having beer cut off in
the Bower of his youth in the service of him country, the
title rest in the person of the Vice-Admiral's cousin, the
present Sr George Samuel Pechell, Bart. This latter
pntleman is the great grandson of Lieut. Colonel Sir Paul
Pechell, who was the first baronet of this ancient and dis-
tinguished family. Rev. Canon
.Repton : The Rev. Edward
Relate°, M.A., canon of Westminster from the year 1838,
with residence in the Little Cloisters, Westminster,
and rector of Shoreham, Kent, from 1843, died at
St. Leonard's-on-Sea, &mei, on the 6th of August,
1860, at the age of seventy-nine. This aged and rev.
gentleman's will bears date the 19th of May last,
and it was proved in the London Court of Probate,
on the 28th of August, by William Stone Ellis,
Eiq., of Streatham, Surrey, and Montague Beebe Herbert,
Esq., of Spring- ens, the joint trustees and executors.
He was both of real and personal property—the
latter being estimated at 16,0001. Mrs. Repton, the relict,
is left a life interest in the whole of this property, except-
ing some few legacies, amounting to about 1,600 f. which he
has bequeathed to his children and grandchildren, with a
further sum to two of bin daughters on the death
of their mother. He bequeaths the rest of his property
to his only son, the Rev. George Herbert Repton, M.A.,
Minor Canon of Westminster, and officiating minister of St.
Philip, Regent-street, of which his late father was the incum-
bent. neves:ant canoury of Westminster has been presented
to the Rev. E. Nepeen, minister of Grosvenor Chapel, and
chaplain is ordinary to the Queen. The income of the
canonry is I,ooof. per annum. The late &argue O'Connor's
will :—Although it is five years since the decease of this
noted and prominent personage, the late member for Not-
tingham, his will hoe only now been brought into court for
proof. it bears date the 10th of April. 1848, and is en-
tirely in him own handwriting, but so badly written as to be
scarcely deciphered and the court was compelled to have •
fair copy made from it. This gentleman seems to have
but very little personal property. What remains

GARIBALDI AND NAPIAL—The cry at Naples
whilst these lines are being committed to paper is still of
the proximate arrival of Garibaldi, at the head of the re-
volution. Before they are published there will probably be
an end of the dynasty of the Neapolitan Bourbons. Every
one is falling off from the Kiog. He has no lonvr even the
&isomer of the Neapolitan quays, or any considerable body
of foreign mercenaries on whom he may rely in the hour of
his need Empire has literally passed from the hands of
Francis 11. H. is now but titular sovereign of Jeru-
salem. Domestic conspiracy has been added to the
miseries sod misfortunes of the last days of the Bourbons in
Naples. The Prince Luigi, than whom a men more eon-
tearptible could be found with difficulty, even upon the
bead roll of emaaeulated Italia prances,would have sue-
ceetled to his inheritance before hs was dead. Francis 11.
overcame that difficulty, but he cannot overcome the greater
difficulty of Italy in arms and Garibaldi at its head.—Once
