WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The will of the Dowager Lady ltfuegrave—relict
of Sir Philip Mapprave,latart, of Mao Hall, near Penrith,
Cumberland, M.Y. for Carlisle—sou proved in the
London court, on the 10th instant, by Major-General
William Flndyer, the brother, sole executor. The
personalty was sworn under 16,0001. Lady Musgrave
was the granddaughter of the Earl of Westmore-
land. She married Sir Philip Musgrave, Bast, whom she
survived thirty-four years, and had issue one daughter, who
died in 1844, unmarried. The baronetcy consequently
plumed to the next male heir of her late husband. Her
ladyship, possessing property in her own right, has disposed
of it by her will to Sir George Musgrave, Bart. (her bro-
ther-in-law), of Eden Hall, with the exception of some
email bequests to other members of her family. Her lady-
ship usually resided at Leamington Priors, Warwickshire,
but died in Albemarle-street, on the 21st of August last.,
aged sixty.six.
The will of Sir Francis Palgrave, K.H., Deputy Keeper of
the Public Records, was proved in the London court on the
12th inst. ; it bean date the 16th Nov., 1860, the executors
appointed being Thomas Brightwen, Fag., Alfred H.
Browne, Esq., and the Rev. S. C. Brown. The personalty
was sworn under 4,0001. Sir F. Palgruve, whose original
name was Cthen, assumed that of Palgrave soon after
his marriage, it being the designation of • relative
of his wife. Sir F. Palgrave filled the office of
Deputy Keeper of the Public Records for many
years, was formerly one of the Municipal Corpo-
retina Commissioners, and had the honour of knighthood
conferred upon him in 1832. He wu called to the bar in
18:.17, but appears never to have practised. He was a man
possessing great literary taste, and has produced several
works, some of them being unfinished at the period of hie
decease. The will, which is very brief, contains merely
some family directions. His MSS. and correspondence he
leaves to his sons, either to keep or destroy, as they may
deem requisite, requesting then, to select from his library
any books they may Fider, as well as some personal orna-
ments to be retained by them as mementoes. There are
two legacies—one of 1001. to • cousin of the tes-
tator, and 0110 of 501. to a personal friend. Sir
F. Palgrave directs that the residue of his estate is to be in-
vested as an annuity for his sister Rosa, whom he mentions
in terms of much affection, and with the singular peculia-
rity of his "desolate sister." Sir F. Palgrave attained the
ap of 73, died a widower, and has left a family of feu
children, all sou. Illustrated Loaders News.

Sterns TO But THoMAIS ACLAND.—The some-
what novel circumstance of the erection of a monument to
a living worthy lies just takeu place at Exeter. The merits
of Sir Thomas Acland, of Killerton, Devonshire, have been
for many years appreciated not only in his native county
but in other and more distant parts of the world. A com-
mittee was therefore formed, with the Earl of Devon as
chairman, and subscriptions poured in from all quarters.
The result has been the erection of a marble statue on one
of the plateaus of Northernhey, in the city of Exeter, by
Mr. E. R. Stephens, the eminent sculptor. On Tuesday
the ceremony of inauguration took place, the Mayor and
Corporation of Exeter attending in state, and a large num-
ber of county gentlemen end others being present. Among
those were the Earl of Devon, Lord Poltimore, Lord Clif-
ford, Sir S. Northcote, M.P., the Right Hon. M. Adderley,
M.P., Sir John Duckworth, Mr. A. Hood, Sir J. Buller
East, Sr John Dante., Sir P. Acland, Sir J. Kennaway,
Admiral Sir F. Moresby, the Huo. and Rev. H. Courtenay,
Hon. and Rev. C. L Courtenay, Mr. Buller, M.P., Mr. Race-
wkh, M.P., Mr. Gard, M.P., Mr. F. Franklin (mayor of
Exeter), Itear•Admirsl Cralgie, General Student, Colonel
Actual, Dr. Acland, the Rev. L. Acland, and Mr. J.
B. Acland (four sons of the hon. baronet). At the
banquet, which was held in the evening, the Earl of De-
von in the chair, letters, regretting their inability to
attend, were read from the Earl of Portsmouth, the
Bishop of Exeter, Sir H. Davy, M.P., and others.
The following motto on the pedestal was suggested
by the late Earl Fortescue, who in early life was the
political opponent of Sir T. Acland :—" Praienti tibi tua-
taras largimur tenures." The statue contained the follow-
ing inscription :—" Erected as a tribute of affectionate re-
'pact for private worth and public integrity, and in testi-
mony of admiration for the generous heart and open hand,
which, without regard to party, nice, or creed, have been
ever ready to protect the weak, to relieve the needy, and
succour the oppressed."
THESALMOIS FISHERIES.—An influential meeting
of the owners of river frontage on the Derwent and its tri-
butaries, and others interested in the preservation of
salmon, was held at Cockermuuth nu Wednesday, to con-
sider what measures should be takeu for the purpose of en-
forcing the provisions of the new act relating to the protec-
tion of salmon, and for generally improving the Derwent
and its tributaries. The lion. Percy Wyndham. M.P.,
presided, and in opening the proceeding" said that he was
One of those who believed that all that scientific men hai
said about salmon was true if they only gave it fair play—
that, as he saw the other day, the salmon was almost the
best animal they could make a bargain with, for he
took nothing from them and gave himself in return. If
ooze they placed salmon in the state nature intended it to
be they would have it in great quantities. In reply to Mr.
John Steel, IL P., it was stated that three years ago en
angling association was formed, and they had met with
every support from the landowners. Lord Neal, M.P.,
remarked that the interest of tho upper proprietors would
now be much increased, and perhaps they would be likely
to combine to preserve the river. A long conversation took
place, iii the course of which the Hon. Percy Wyndham
, stated that there was only one weir which would require
the erection of a fish ladder. A letter was read from Mr.
W. Lawson, M.P., in which be expressed himself in favour
; of the system of rating the proprietors, though be was
doubtful how such a system would avower in this part of
the country. After considerable discrwaion a eanniittee
was appointed to consider what steps should be adopted for
the presermtioa of the fish in the Derwent and its tributa-
ries. awl the best means of taking advantage of the new act.
THE MILTOWN-KOAD OUTRAGE.—We (Freeman's

on the accusation of being the offender in the Miltowo-road
case is about to apply for a postponement of his trial, partly
under the apprehension that io the present state of feeling
he could not hope for an impartial investigation of his case,
and partly on the ground that he is not prepared. We most

of yesterday contains the following account of an
outrage :—" Yesterday, at the Police-court, beforeirtn.
C. Brady, two men, earned Michael Ferrigan and James
Maguire, were brought up in custody of Sub-constables
Kelly and West, charged with entering& house near Sea-
brook, and beating the owner, a man named Joseph
Cooper. Ann Cooper deposed that on Monday night, about
11 o'clock, ber husband beard a knock at the dear, avid roes
to open it. When the door had been opened she heard a
ft-urne, and heard her husband crying out, Oh don't,
boys.' She rose up and ran out to the kitchen, which was
crowded with men, all beating and at her husband.
She called out, but they her husband into the
street, and while one man held him on his knees, F
ran over and kicked him on the breast. They
made him go down on his knees, and put his band to bra
heart, and swear by his Maker that he would give op
his house and land. Her husband said teat be had always
lived at peace, and never had a falling out with the boy
M'Elroy, from whom he had the laud, but that be would give
it up. Ferrigan was rushing at him again, when he was stoo-
ped. She ran down to arouse John M'Elroy, her nearest neigh.
boor, and when she came back the five men were going away,
when the man who bad her husband on his knees caught
her by the hand, and said, ' Good night, Mrs. Cooper. I
came fifty miles to see this done, and tell your husband that
if be does not give up the land what he bee got will only be
an "earl penny "to what he will get.' This was the prul•
cipal portion of the woman's depositions. She described the
clothing worn by the prisoner Ferrigan. A certificate vii
handed from the medical gentleman attending Cooper,
stating that he was in a very dangerous state, principal!
from tuteroal injuries. Yr. Brady said that these craw
were a disgrace to the country, and that the law would
have to put a atop to it. He hoped the gentleman who tad
come the 50 miles to see the 'job ' executed would soon be
in the hands of the police. The prisoners were thee

and Patient all along, and therefore had no right to mot-

holders, with whom Street:Mid sod Co. had discounted

cue the bell.brukers were creditors to the extent of

utmost confidence was reposed, not only by We bankrupts,
but by the whole mercantile world, in the stability of

be justified in stopping under such circumstances.
Allusion had lave made to the large unmet

mainly due to the panic. Mr. Patient was
most particular in giving credit, and only trusted
houses whom he believed to be good. The whence

it. At this moment the prisoner had his hand
down by hie side, but as witness approached him he raised
his hand sad disclosed two watches. He remarked, " These
