WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

(Front the Illustrated London News.).
The will of the Right Hoe. Richard Hobart Fitz Gibbon,
Earl of Clare, of Mount Shannon, Limerick, and of Ken-
sington Palace-gardens, was proved in her Majesty's Cour,•
of Probate by the Right Hon. John Lord Wodehouse (son-
in-law) and the Rev. Henry Hely Hutchinson, of Charlton
Glebe, Wilts, two of the executors—a power being reserved
to his relict, the Countess of Clare. The personalty was
sworn under £90,000. His lordship was the second son of
the first earl, Lord High Chancellor of Ireland. He suc-
ceeded his brother as third earl in 1.851; was formerly a
colonel in the army; and served in the Peninsula ; repre-
sented Limerick 1818-41; and was lord lieutenant for that
county, and colonel of the Limerick Militia. His lordship
died on the 13th of January last, at the age of 60, having
executed his will in 1855, with three codicils in 1856-7. To
the countess he has bequeathed a life interest over the bulk
of his property, confirming the pros isions made in favour of
his daughters, and leaving the residue of his property, on
the decease of his countess, to his daughter, Lady Elinor
Cavendish. His books and prints will revert to his grand-
, son and godson, Reginald Cavendish._

The late distinguished author, W. Makepeace Thackeray,
Esq., of Palace-green, Kensington, died without making a
will. Letters of administration of his estates and effects
have been granted to his two daughters. The personalty
was sworn under £20,000,

METEOROLOGY.—In a paper addressed to the
French Academy of Sciences, M. Renon describes
certain curious meteorological phenomena observed by him
at Choisy-le-Roi, on Feb. 21. About 9 a.m, ho perceived
a halo of 22 degrees round the sun, with two parheli, or
false images of the sun. Above the sun there was a
halo of 46 degrees, with the circumzenithal arc
tangent to it. The whole appearance was very faint ; the
cirro•etratus which caused it lay to the south; the wind
blew from the north, and the temperature was 4 deg. below
freezing-point. At nine p.m. the moon rose with a com-
mon halo, flanked by two paraselenes, or false images of the
I moon. The same phenomenon was observed at various
placed, at Veadonae, at Tours, Stc. The paraselenes had
tails so inclined as to approach the halo ; and both the
latter and the paraselenes were tinged with the colours of
the rainbow.

HER MAJESTY.

WINDSOR CASTLE, March 24.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales, attended by the Hen. Mrs. Bruce, Lieu•
tenant-Colonel Keppel, and Dr, Holzmann, arrived
at the Castle yesterday afternoon.

Prince Arthur and Prince Leopold arrived from
Greenwich Park this morning, attended by Major
Elphinstonc..

The royal dinner party yesterday included his
Majesty the King of the Belgians, his Royal High-
ness the Prince of Wales, her Royal Highness the
Princess of Wales, and her Royal Highness the
Princess Helena, the Countess of Caledoo, the Lady
Caroline Barrington, the Hon. Mrs. Bruce, the Hon.
Lucy Kerr, the Hon. Caroline Cavendish, the Hon.
Lady Biddulph, Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. C. and Mrs.
Grey, Dr. Ho;zmann, Gen. Count de Moerkerke,
and Dr. Koepl (in attendance on the King of the
Belgians), Mr. Sabi, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Col.
the Hon. A. Liddell, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Col. H.
Ponsonby, Lieut.-Col. Keppel, and the Master of
the Household.

The Queen, accompanied by her Royal Highness
he Princess of Wales, drove in the grounds this

morning.

Their Royal Highnesses Princess Helena and
Princess Louise took a carriage drive.

(From the Queen.)

We understand that the Queen has determined
to sacrifice her own private feelings to her sense of
duty, and that the present season will witness the
re-appearance of her Majesty in the social sphere
proper to her station. That she should have taken
this resolution is, of itself, a remarkable proof of the
high purpose which animates her Majesty to do her
duty in the etate of lite to which it has pleased God
to call her. None but women, and those, too, who
have been bereaved of those whom they have dearly
loved and upon whom they have most relied, will
thoroughly appreciate the value of the sacrifice; but
it will not be made before it was needed. The means
which have been taken to apply the Queen's grief
to the destruction of her popularity have been both
insidious and effective. During the last few weeks
placards of a most disloyal and insulting character
have been affixed to the walls of the royal palaces
in London, and have not been removed by the police
before they had found hundred of readers. How
was it possible that these could be fixed up at all ?
Why were not the perpetrators of this outrage an.
rested upon the spot? Are the royal palaces so
badly guarded that an act like this could be perpe-
trated with impunity ? Who are the persons
who find it worth their while to spend their
money in printing placards which have no other
purpose than to insult the Sovereign? But a
placard cannot be printed without a printing-press.
From what printing-office did these placards pro-
ceed ? These are questions which we beg leave to
recommend to the officious sagacity of Sir Richard
Mayne.

We are glad to notice that the daily press is not
entirely silent as to the position which the Queen
has assumed with regard to the question of war or
no war. The Morning Post has attacked her Ma-
jesty, and a writer in the Morning Advertiser
replies. It is a curious example of the value of
government by faction, that both the Liberal and
Conservative parties (the good old landmarks of
Whig and Tory being s wept away) have united in
urging a warlike policy upon the Crown, the party
in power having attempted to coerce the Queen into
war before Parliament assembling, and that in Op-
position having played the part of taunting the
Government with being too pacific since the coming

ogether of our representatives at St. Stephen's.

['he result is that the odium excited in the national
mind at the very idea of a disposition to keep out of
a dispute has been made to reflect back upon the
Crown, and the Queen is blamed by both parties
and by the nation for doing that which should
secure for her the gratitude of all. A writer in the
Morning Advertiser says :—" The opposition of the
Queen alone has prevented us from being already
precipitated into one of those gigantic contests,
urged without necessity and against right and
justice, which have inflicted upon England a debt of
800 millions. The governing families, with that
keen scent after their own interests the ruling
characteristic of those who seek place, honour, and
emolument, are all intent upon the worship of the
rising sun. The Danish Princess of Wales is the
object of their adulation, and the poor Queen is to
be tormented and persecuted until she consents to
adopt a policy which is abhorrent to her feelings,
and which she conscientiously believes to be contrary
to the interests of the country. It is time that the
people of England should come to the aid of a Sove-
reign who has been during her whole reign, like her
uncle, Leopold of Belgium, the model of a coma.
tutional ruler. Tne Post the other day had actually
the face to insinuate, in a manner not to be mistaken,

that the Queen, in not acquiescing in the wishes of
the Government, was setting herself above the Con-
stitution. Does the Pest mean to say that the Queen
has no right to form an opinion upon the matters
submitted to her by the Ministers ; that she is not
one of the three powers of the State ? If this is to
be their doctrine, the Ministry and its organ had
better at once declare for a Republic and a Conven-
don. The Queen has certainly no right, as a con-
stitutional Sovereign, to act contrary to the wishes
of Parliament ; but she is perfectly entitled to say
to her Ministers, before the opinion of Parliament
has been taken—' I am opposed to such and such
policy, and until you have obtained the opinion of
the House of Commons, I will not consent to you
acting upon it.' But the Government wish to
coerce the Queen into their measures without bring'

ing the question before Parliament and the publics
so that the nation may be committed to their
policy and find it too late to go back. It is with
this object that the Queen is exposed to all that
persecution which is destroying her comfort and
breaking down her health. It is time, 1 repeat
that the people came to the rescue. The parti'
sans of the Ministry aro openly saying that the
Queen is in a fix, and must give in. Lord Derby
it is understood, has been applied to, and has de.
clared that he agrees with Lord Palmerston that
England should enter into a war with Germany fa
the sake of Denmark. Lord Derby, therefore, i
appears, refuses to form a Government upon a peal
policy. ' What, then, can the Queen do ?' exclaim
with a chuckle, the partisans of war for the solo
of Denmark. Both sections of the governing clan'
are equally in favour of a war policy. The Queer
cannot form a Ministry, either on one side or the
other, in favour of peace, and without a Ministrl
she cannot ever dissolve Parliament. "
So far the writer is patriotic and loyal enough
and it is a pity that so creditable an. exordiut
should lead to such a pitiful suggestion as the re
commendation of Mr. Cobden for the post of Fria
Minister. That the Queen should dissolve NO
ment on this question of peaoe or war would b'
quite constitutional.

UONVICT DELANY.--COMMUTATION OF
Ne. R.- On Thursday morning the gov..-rnor of the
kh_ eceived an official communication b:orn his Excellency
!Pitrefit Lor,l-Lieirenant stating that he had been pleased to
the sentence of death passed on Mary Ann Delany at
laBt assizes here. The communication further stated
40tb
:e4tence would be commuted to transportation for life.
ce of this was immediately conveyed to the prisoner.
atelqord is thus spared the doubly painful spectacle of the
t 4,24tie0 of a female. The remission of the capital sen-
t%-c was pretty generally anticipated, more, however, on
thealThlod that the prisoner was a female, and that,
de,tr saue enough, her intelligence was of the lowest
44 from any sympathy with the crivainal herself.
