COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

JOLT 13.
(Before the Judge °unitary.)

LANTIMILLE E. ANDERSON AND OUICHAED ONTERVENIN.
This was a cause relating to the will of the late Mr.
Wil-
liam Anderson, an Irish gentleman who had died in France
sco=go ea the year 1849. Mr. Anderson (who had left
o Ile property) was educated in France ; and at the
breakMg out of the revolution he was secreted in the house
of ..me Laneuville's mother, and was enabled by her
assistance to return safe to this country. He did not leave
France, however, till he had become engaged to the young
lady, but his letters miscarried and he lost
sight of her for forty years. He at length suc-
ceeded in discovering her by means of advertisements;
but he found that she wee married to M.laneuville, and
was the mother of several children. He then went to
France and took up his abode with her family. In 1843 be
had executed a will in favour of his nephew, the defendant,
but in 1848 be made • new will in favour of
Madame laneuville. On his death the validity of this
instrument was impeached, on the ground that though exe-
cuted in conformity with the law of France it did not comply
with the provisions of the English statute; but after much
litigation, the French domicile of the deceased had been
established ; and the question that now arose was as to
whether the will would pass property of the deceased in
this country.
M. Guichard, the intervener, was the executor under the
second will.

Mr. Bova!, Q.C., Mr. Greer, Q.C., Dr. Spinks, and
Mr. Eddie ; Sir H. Cairns, Q.C., Dr. Twin, Q.C., and
Mr. Hards ; Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Mr. Lushington,
appeared for the respective parties.
M. Malantert, docteur en droit, and avast de la Cour
Imperial., gave evidence as to the French law bearing on the
question. It was clear to him that Madame Laneuville was
named legataire universelle of the deceased's estate ; and that
the will had pealed to her the whole of his property, real or
personal, foreign or French. The appointment of a legataire
universelle would not revoke a bequest under a previous
will, unless such bequest were expressly annulled, or unless
it were incompatible with the universal donation. For ex-
ample, if Mr. Anderson had said in his prior will, " I give
my nephew my Irish property," the appointment of the lega-
taro universelle would not revoke that gift, unless the
whole of his property were in Ireland. The revocation of a
previous by a subsequent will was a matter of interpreta-
tion. Thum if the prior gift constituted the bulk of the
property, it would be annulled by the appointment of a uni-
versal legatee. Such questions were, however, within the
province of the judge, who endeavoured in each ease
to ascertain as well as he could the true intention of the
testator.
The case was proceeding when the court me.

THE ROMAN STATE 9.

The Marquis of !it)ItMANBY gave notice of his inten-
tion, on that day week. to move for certain additions to the

there had bees the most complete concurrence between them
ou every subject which had come under their consideration.
It was important their lordship; should know that during
that time Mr. Lyons received moat conciliatory instructions
from Lord Clarendon, and endeavoured to carry them out,
but while so eogem! a notification was received of a public
declaration me& by the minister of the highest authority
in the other house of parliament to the effect that the Ro-
ma, Staten had sever been so well governed as under the
repeblic of Maaani, and wider these cireurustancos he (the

HUNGARY.

The Swabian Mercury states that agitation in
Hungary is increasing, and that the Austrian go-
vernment has been obliged to send troops into the
comitat of Gomor to put down some disturbances.
According to letters from Peeth of the bth, a
national demonstration took place on the preceding
evening, at the Hungarian theatre in that city.
In the course of the representation of Norma by an
Italian company, the spectators, at a given signal,
displayed the national colours, which are the same
as those of Italy (red, white, and green), and raised
enthusiastic diens in honour of Garibaldi and
Victor Emmanuel.

ANOTHER FIRE IN THE CITY.-(THIS

This morning a fire broke out on premises In the
occupation of Mr. Ishmore Fisher, wholesale wine merchant,
sibiate at No. 4, Victoria-street, nearest the corner of
Holborn Valley. The building extended over fifty feet In
depth, and was, including the bamment, six goon 14h.
Wines of different some and of great value were in the
place se well as a eerily stock of furniture. It appears
that about a quarter past 7 o'clock the servant, who had
got up a little after 6 o'clock, called out as • young man
who lied been sleeping on the premises, aimed Henry Cole-
man, " The house is on firs, make haste and bring some
water." Coleman at ones hurried down to the ground-floor
warehouse, which be found to be on firs In the front window.
He and the servant made desperate 'tutors to nabdue the
flames by pouring buckets of water upon the fire, but it con-
tinned to spread, and at last completely blocked up the front
retreat. At this time the following persons were in the
upper room, some in their bade, asleep:—Mrs. Stevens
mid to be • relative of the owner of the build:
bag, a Mils Strickland, Idiom Taylor, and Mice Wilt-
shire. Coleman ran upstairs end tried to get the
poor creatures to the attic, knowing that if be mull do eo
they might pass along the gutter to the next homes; but
they became so frightened, sod the smoke was so dome, that
they were unable to move. Coleman, to says hie own life,
wascompelled to leave the females, to rush to the top of the
building, and get out of the window on to the next home.
He had just reached the street, when Mr. Fogo, the chief
*Maw of the B district, arrived. The ladders oarritd on the
=glees were then "married" together, and were raised in
front of the burning home. Two firemen, named respectively
Hill and Robbins then mounted, entered the rooms, and
brought out In safety the four females, and carried them
down the ladders, the bystanders loudly cheering the
firemen for their intrepidity. It was nearly four hours
before the fire was entirely extinguished, and not until the
premises sad the contents were for the most part destroyed.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN HARRISON.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

A fearful gale San the south-west has been
blowing for some hours, with {streets of rain.
A bout with 10 men, coming ashore from the
6 teat Eastern, was upset in a squall, and several of
the men drowned—the number not known ; three
or four of the men are missing.
Captain Harrison, the commander of the Great
Eastern, who was in the boat, has been brought
ashore, and every exertion to restore consciousness

I regret to hear that Captain Harrison is just
dead, all efforts to save hie life having failed. The
Great Eastern is riding oat the gale in perfect
safety. Nothing positive can yet be ascertained as

.
dapooddote left no doabt that he had committed that offence.
It was an offence of a vary serious character, and one that
It was impossible to pass over with a light sentence. His
Issued counsel had wird on his behalf that he intended
to hive taken up the hills, sad probably, if he had hed an
opportunity, he would have done so, but that was no ex-
ouse whatever for him. In every cam where a clerk em-
bezzled or misappropriated moneys of his employer, he
genteelly intended, in the first instance, to make it good,
and probably in many instances he did so, but the result
was that he continued in a course of crime, and the extent
of his defalcation became very great. In the present case
I the former respectable position of the prisoner was an
sigrsvation of his offence, for he must have known per-
fectly well the nature of the act he was committing and its
dangerous diameter in • commercial community. The
amount of the forgeries was very large, and the very lightest
sentence he could possibly pronounce was one at six years
penal servitude.
The cases disposed of in this court during the day did not
possess and feature of public interest.

THIRD COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
This court was occupied for sevenl hours arguing a rule
and mom rule, which had been taken out, the former to call
for the committal of a Mr. Hut, for not obeying the order
of the court to give up certain property, and the latter
to show cause why the order of the court should not be
reminded.
Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Poland appeared to show cause
spinal the order of the court; and Mr. Sleigh to support it.
It will be recollected that lad session two men named
Blies and Wellies were convicted of stealing plush of the
value of 2,0001. from Mons. Gilly. The property was
bought by a Mr. Hart for 1,2001., and the court directed
its rarlitution, which order was not obeyed.
Mr. Metcalfe founded his objection to the property being
given ap upon provisions of the Factors Act, which power
scooted that where the money was advanced upon pro-
perty in a bona fide manner a judge should not, upon
conviction have the power to order the restitution of
such property. In this case an action of trover had been
decided m the favour of Hart. and a new trial was
to be applied for, and under those circumstances Mr. Met-
ed(' contended that the order of the court ought to be
rescinded.

Yr. Sleigh, in support of the order, quoted the 7th and fith
of George IV., cap. 21). The court had no discretionary
power. The act in eases of conviction made it imperative
upon the judge to direct the reinvestment of the property,
and the Factors Act did not apply to this case, as it only
referred to property which was in the independent proses-
sion of an ageut, and not in the posse lion of the roaster
at aIL

The Commissioner said that the point was a most im-
portant one, and took time to consider his decision.

D I PLOMATIOATIITCDE OF FRANCE

TOWARDS ITALY.

(Prom L. Nord.)
The semi-official journal of Paris and Turin an-
nounce that the ansNuendor of WM. the Emperor
of the French has left the latter city, after having
obtained from the King of Sardinia his audienceof
leave, and consequently performed the fbrrnalitiee
whicii, agreeably to diplomatic now, accompany
the oval! of arntismeadora This incot may serve
to tit the nature and purport of the measure taken
by the Emperor of the French at the news of the
entree,* of the Sardinian troops into the States of
the Church, a measure which the very terms em-
ployed by the .Wresiker did not suffice to render
quite iutelligible. The audience of leave shows in
the first place that there has been really a recall of
the ambassador, and not • mere obligation of ab-
sence enforeest by circumstances, a point which the
MoisiPeer had left uncertain, and which would not
be without some important consequences with re-
spect to the diplomatic formalities to be observed,
'should the French minister he sent leek at a later
period to his post.
But what we especially wish to observe ia that
this audience of leave, demanded and obtained by
the minister, shows very clearly the character of
the measure, and that its sole object is to manifest
• disapproval or disavowal of the conduct of the
Sanitises government, but that it does not entail a
rupture between France and Sardinia "If the
minister is recalled by reason of a misunderstand-
ing between the governments," says one writer,
" the circumstances must decide if a letter of recall
1111^11 be sent to him, if he shall demand and obtain
an auolience of leave, or if the ordinary present.
shall be offered and accepted." "In every case,"
ay. another, " where there are no *rounds of mis-
uielerstanding that compel the minister to quit the
court without taking leave of the sovereign, he
performs on such an occasion the formalities pre-
scribed by usage. The single fact that an audi-
ence of leave has been demanded and obtained
allow., as may be seen, that there are no serious
reasons for a mieunelerstauding between the two
governments.
There is then no rupture between France and
Sariliuia, notwithstanding the recall of the Freuch
ambassador. The Mortste•tr ezpreesed itself im-
properly, when it talked of • secretary charged with
the affeini (cluergi des oftaires) of the legatiou, that
is to say, in the sense given to these wools by
usage, with the task of packi•g up the
arra
baggage aim regulating the private afore of the
em y. There is a provisional chem. d'afaires,
tool the situation between the twocionntries remains
clear and miller. Only, the French government
wished to mark, by a measure stronger perhaps
than eas neezmary, and the nature of which could
not be well essuprelseneled at first, from the terms
in which it had been announced, the disapproval of
a line of conduct appearing to it to be bad, and of
which it desires in no respect to share tho moral
reepousibility in the face of Europe. This is the
truth of the matter.

1/4_611101! A PIIIVATi

LAKE OF

An Added% has recently occurred at Neruier, a
large village in Chablais, on the borders of the Lae
Oefeva, which is worthy of attention, as show-
ing_the degree of importance to be attached to the
-suppos of tHicussions which ire ;aid to have
amen late een the Swiss and their neigh-
bours of the recently annexed provinces. It tends
also to show the system of provocation that has
been adopted by the agents of the French govern-
ment, with the view of embroiling Switzerland with
her powerful neighbour. Four young men had
crossed the lake in a boat from Nyon to Nernier.
They disembarked, and, while refreshing themselves
at the inn, made use of the most violent and
coarsely insulting language about the events fast
have recently occurred in Savoy. On re-
e.nbarking, they renewed from the boat their
vociferations and gestures of contempt to such
an extent that the French douaniers thought fit
to interfere. These &winters followed them, and
brought them back to Nernier, where they were
handed over to the police. Several of the persona
present interceded in their behalf, alleging that a
good understanding had hitherto always sub-
sisted betneen the Swiss and the Savoyards.
The gendarme, however, into whose cus-
tody they had been given, declared he would
not let them go until he had ascertained
their passports to be en rayk, and if they were not,
that be should be obliged to hand them over to the
police of the nearest town. After some hesitaticri
the passports were produced, when, to tho astonish-
ment of all present, out of the four preterded
Swiss three turned out to be Frenchmen, provided
with French passports, duly eiaid, which us hardly
ever the case with mere excursionists from one bauk
of the lake to the other. The last of the party, who
had abstained from joining in the provocations of
:the others, was discovered to be a Vaudois, who
appears to have been totally unaware of the cha-
racter of his companions. We have not been ..old
whether the Frenchmen's passports were accou-
pulled by certificates denoting the nature of their
calling ; but what we do know is, that, on showing
their passports to the gendarme, they were im-
mediately allowed to re-embark without fin Lher
molestation. •

It is more than probable that without this lucky
meeting with the gendarme the incident would
have given rise to frosh complaints on the part of
the French government about alleged ill-treatment
of its new citizens.

SPAIN.

• Some of the Madrid journals of the 16th state
that certain military movements had iu the two or
three days preceding been effected in that capital,
and it appears from au order of the day of the
captain-general that they had been occasiouud by
a diminution having, on account of the good spirit
of the population, been effected in the garrison.
Earl Granville and his travelling companions,
Lord F. Cavendish and Count Palen, hail arrived
at Madrid. The Espana again Waists that the
Spanish government ought to assist the Pope,
and it mentions, as a report, that Spain had pro-
tested against the events in the Two Sicilia,' in so
far as they may affect the rights of succession of
the Spanish Bourbons to the throne of that coun-
try. The Patriarch of the Indies had published a
pastoral letter, calling on the faithful to subscribe
for the Christians in Syria. The Moorish ambas-
sadors had left Madrid for Alicaut, to embark for
Morocco. They had intended visiting Granada to
see the Alhambra, but had abandoned the design.
The jouruals publish accounts of the Queen's
movements iu the Balearic biles, but they present

pay sodden and canal demands, until in the aggregate the
amount becomes considerable. His Royal bilighser boa
silo ninon to believe that debts to linesmen are sonsetinne
increased by their consenting to obarge the messing to the

weekly, that all mess debts ban been paid, is not always
strictly correct. It is incumbent upon commending officer*
and upon general officers, at their half-yearly inspection'', to
neaten by pereonal inquiry from all parties whether any
officer is in debt to the mammals, not only for messing, but
on any other account. His Royal Hie:urns strictly enjoins
