to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the best wr ters. At pre-

The will of John Bowyer Nichols,
Esq., of Han-
ger-hill, Ealing, Middlesex, and of 25, Parliament-
street, was proved in London on the 6th inst. by his
sons and executors, John Gough Nichols, Robert
Cradock Nichols, and Francis Morgan Nichols,
Esqrs. The personalty was sworn under £160,000.
The will is purely of a family nature, dated 1860,
and has three codicils, dated 1861-2-3. The testator
has left his property amongst his sons and
daughters, in various proportions, describing the
estates and properties each are to possess, making
a liberal provision for his unmarried daughter,
and a further provision for his other daughters
beyond their marriage settlement, and appointing
his three sons residuary legatees ; his eldest son
to receive all his MSS. and to select works from
his private library to the value of £2,000 ; also some
presentation-plate to be held as heirlooms.
The will of William Tooke, Esq., late of Bedford-
row, Russell-square, was proved in London, by the
executors, Arthur William Tooke, Esy.-,,
the son,
and Wm. Hollowes, Esq., the personalty being
sworn under £140,000. To his son he leaves his
real estates, situated in Essex, Herts, Middlesex,
and elsewhere, and all the residue of his personal
property. To his two daughters are left bequests
in addition to their settlement on marriage, and to
each of his nine grandchildren a legacy of £2,000.
Legacies are also left to several other members of
his family and to personal friends.
We find that the statement of Mr. Stewart Marjori-
banks's will contained in our impression of the 31st
ult. was in some respects incorrect. Mr. Marjori-
banks's personal property was sworn, as stated,
under £lOO,OOO, and by his will he bequeathed

Silt,—Having endeavoured to convey to your readers
briefly—probably in an inefficient manner, but neither
lightly nor inconsiderately—my opinion upon what may be
called the active anti-British sentiment pervading the
66 prominent," and as they call themselves " ruling politi-
cians " of the Northern States, it was not my intention to
volunteer further remarks on that particular point. How-
ever, the last mails from Europe have brought here the
reports of speeches made in Great Britain, by members of
our Government, as well as by one of that denomination
of the representatives of the IV ashington Cabinet known
as the " quasi Envoy."
Without it being necessary to quote at length from, or
to refer more than generally to the details of the " ad-
dresses" of our Attorney-General and Mr. H. Beecher, it
will be seen by any person who reads the speeches alluded
to, that upon one point there is, to a great degree, a coin-
cidence of opinion between the exponent of British policy
and the semi-official agent of the governing politicians of
the Southern States.
Mr. Beecher states what ho must know is contrary to
fact—viz., that general good feeling towards "Great Britain
and the British" is the rule in the Northern States. Sir
g. Palmer gives, I admit, a " safer" opinion, but an igno-
rant one :—" There is (he says) not that unfriendly feeling
toward this country on the other side of the Atlantic which
some seemed to think."
It may appear rude and dogmatic to describe the two
statements as I have done, but if persons volunteer
opinions upon matters of importance to my countrymen
relative to matters of fact in this country, and which
opinions a nearly three years' experience here of " men,
manners, and things," enables me to declare are erroneous,
1 really am obliged, for the sake of required brevity, to in-
dulge in no circumlocution.
I have Dither object nor intention to follow those who,
for party or other purposes, try to " make things pleasant,"
which had much better be known in their reality, and looked
in the face.
If Sir R. Palmer had been delivering an opinion upon a
strictly legal matter—even if a lawyer, 1 would have been
diffident in contradicting him; but I am certain that if ho
had taken the trouble to collect fair " evidence ' upon the
"case" in question, instead of stating to his audience—as
he did in effect--that "some persons" exaggerated the ill
feeling towards England, stated to exist on this side of the
Atlantic, he would have been obliged, in truth, to admit
that any exaggeration, in the ordinary sense of the word,
could be hardly possible.
It is ray wish to inflict on your readers and myself as
little in the way of any disquisition upon the "feeling" or
" sentiment" of the majority of persons in the Northern
States, as possible. As to the Southern, not having been
there, and under the peculiar circumstances of their case,
it would be presumptuous in me to refer to them on the sen-
timent part of the matter further, at present, than to hope
that the future impartial historian will be able to describe
to his readers, that the course pursued towards the South
by our country has been consistent with our international
precedents; and that the working of that always baneful
thing called fanaticism, together with the more indirect
action of various pecuniary " interests"—forming a part,
but only a part, of the nation—have not, inter alio, led to
"some," and to injustice in many," on our side
h 3 pocrisY in
of the Atlantic."
There is one circumstance which may possibly have
escaped the notice of those who have listened to, or read,
the assertions of those quasi agents of the Washington
diplomacy (and in that category I include that small por-
tion of the "British" press, and the political organisation
in Great Britain and Ireland, which, very common report
states, are afflicted, a subsidised ranefication of the ruling
political parties and factions of the " U.S.A.") and that
is—Why, if there is so much good feeling towards Eng-
land as these clerical and lay quasi-envoys allege, do they
not produce to their British audiences some signs and
tokens of it ? Why do not these " practical men," when
they return to their country, at least deprecate to their Ame-
rican audiences the senseless violence of the anti-British
feeling which they admit exists among some of the news-
papers and some of the "orators," and so forth?
As a matter of fact, I defy any one of these quasi-envoys,
or their friends in England, to show that in this country—
say for the last two years —there has b 'en one bona fide
effort made by any public man to do anything, by speaking
or writing, of a sustained nature to create any good feeling
in the minis of the American people towards Great Britain
and the British,
If there are the "thinking, sober, second thought" people
in the U.S. that Bishop Wllvaine, Mr. Weed, and Mr.
Beecher wrote and talked of, why do they " make no sien ?"
However, it must be admitted—and assuming there is
'free speech" in this country—that if the most frantic
hatred of our country and people is the general character-
istic to which the masses of all political classes of each sex,
and of every age, have either worked themselves, or been
worked into, we British may wonder and regret it for both
nations' sake, but we cannot formally or officially complain-
But what I do complain of is the organised attempt to
h,untbug esy countrymen which has been, and is being,
practised. I must admit it is difficult fur those who know
the truth in this country to " read with reasonable temper
the assertions made as to the good feeling to England.
Such may exist in the minds of the quasi-envoys, or in the
moon, but assuredly has no place in the politicians in the
aggregate, or in the majority of the people of the Northern
States—that is, if words and actions are criterions.
One of these demi-diplomats—Mr. Thurlow Weed—has
been often talked of, and described by himself and others
as having rendered " immense services" to the cause of the
Washington Government when in Europe. Although most
of your readers never, probably, heard of the gentleman,
it is a matter, now, of published American history, that he
was despatched by the Washington Cabinet, with Bishop
Wllvaine and Archbishop Hughes, each in his way and
" district" ae propagate the " good cause and Abraham
Lincoln," as one of the semi-official press in New York de-
scribed it. Mr. T. Weed probably affords a tolerably fair
specimen of the " material " considered necessary for, and
of the course persued by the Washington quasi-envoy, and
therefore I shall conclude this letter by a necessarily (for
post) rapid sketch of this one out of the many so-called
diplomats sent, as they are described in American phraseo-
logy, to "instruct John Bull and the female Bulls."
It was announced in sundry Northern journals, in and
about January, 1862, that " Mr. Thurlow Weed was to go
to England and France as a diplomatic agent." Having
inquired from persons well acquainted with the " pro-
vincial" politicians, I was informed Mr. Weed was con-
sidered one of the most astute and able " managers ;" or,
as they are named, " wire-pullers " of the New York State
Legislature, and the right-hand man of Mr. Seward in
domestic-political managements as to elections, and so on.
It was also stated that ho had rendered many under obliga-
tions to him, in the matter of contracts, &e. Be this as it
may, at the period mentioned (January 1862), a letter ap-
peared in the various journals, Mr. Weed's own amongst
the number, stating that be had observed the references to
him, ascribing a sort of official character to his intended
"visit to Europe," but that it was a mistake, that he let-
tended going, but only on his own affairs." Well, he did
go, and at intervals there were letters in the journals here
from him,mentioning, among many things that are now for-
gotten by me, but which can be referred to if it were neces-
sary, as I kept all the newspaper notices, that he was re-
ceived "in the highest society with the greatest cordiality,"
that Earl Russell had favoured him with several interviews,
and that not only he found persons in England inclined to
make things pleasant, but that he had managed to make
them still pleasanter for the cause of the Washing-
ton Cabinets. This was about the substance of the com-
munications, se far as the public were concerned, that
reached hero until the return of the " quasi-envoy," as
he at length admitted himself to be, to Now York
iu June, 1862. " Ovations," "serenades," and the
other demonstrations usual in this country, where
popular and " pronainent " men arrive in large cit.

greeted Mr. Weed. Your readers will probably excuse
my
referring further to the speeches made on those occasions,
except that they appeared very satisfactory to all "con-
cerned,"
One of the journals stated, that " probeabllvy it would
never be known outside, and only in th
Cabinet, what immense services Mr. Weed had, rendered
ae
his country." It is true all the newspapers w

Some two months since, e

Aviously furnished by the " quasi-envoy." It stated among
verymany other things that he (Mr. Weed) had by his
diplomatic acutnese and energy, prevented the Franch
Government remonstrating on the subject of the "stone
fleet," and the intended but abortive effort to choke up the
harbours of the Southern States, and mentioned incident-
ally that he had reminded the French minister (Count de
Morny) " that there was no miscreaucy England had not
been guilty of in order to extend her dominions," that "she
was steeped up to the armpits in the blood of innocent,
unarmed Sepoys," and the account proceeds to give other
congenial and relevant arguments stated to have been used
by him with such effect, that the intended article in the
French Emperor's address to the Senate, &c., remonstrating
against the " stone fleet" was not only struck out, but (Mr.
Weed stated) he received praise from French ministers,
and certainly received
applause from "politicians" here for

THE CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AUSTRA-

LIAN MAILS.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Ripon, Captain E. Christian, arrived at
Southampton at noon yesterday with the heavy
portion of these mails. She brought 78 passengers
(viz., 29 first-class, 35 second-class and Dervants, 11
children, and 3 deck). On freight she had £12,473
2s, 6d. in specie, 830 bales and 10 cases of silk, 8
cases of plants, 21 packages of elephants' tusks, 4
casks of wine, and 145 packages of general mer-
chandise.

iron hollow-headed shot, weighing 5101 b., or a shell
of ordinary construction weighing 6001 b., and ca-

with shot was 70h., with shell 6011).
Although the experiments were to have raom-

until after 12. By the time everything was realty
the interest of the spectators had reached thee
highest pitch, and it was amid exclamations of
surprise and wonder from even veteran artillerists

weighing as much as a small faenily. The shot is

the gun by means of movable shear legs provided
with blocks and pulleys. The cradle, hinges on to
a couple of hooks on the mouth of the piece, and
holds the ponderous shot in the proper poriition for

was re -dy. The last bugle was eounded, and
the great gun was fired forihfirs t time, The
ponderous shot barst from the mouth of the piece
with a terrific rush and roar, strikingthe sand at
about 700 yards from the shore, leaping and dash-
ing onward, ricochetting five or six times, and
finally burying itself near the 4,000 yards' target_
A rush was of course immediately made to the gum
to see its condition, An attentive examination,
however, soon proved that not the slightest injury
had been sustained by it in auy part ; in fact, that
it was what every one knew it would turn out to
be—a perfect piece of workmanship. Two more
shots were then to be fired at the same elevation,
the second and third reportsbeing apparently rather
less loud than the first. It was a matter of frequent
observation during the day that the report of this
gigantic piece of artillery was much less than its
size would have led one to predict. The next three
rounds were fired at an elevation of 2 deg., after
which followed three at 5 deg., and three at 10 deg.
Three dead shells weighing 6001 b, each were then
fired with charges of 601 b., a3oolb. round shot with
a charge of 701 b. completing the day's experiments.

The Ripon left Alexandria on the 7th inst., Malta
the 10th, and Gibraltar the 15th. Between Alex-
andria and Malta she experienced north westerly
winds, with occasional heavy squalls, accompanied
by rain and thick weather; from Malta to Gibraltar
strong variable winds, with heavy squalls, rain,
and thick weather; and the remainder of the
voyage light airs and fine weather.
During the passage home the following steam-
ships were spoken by the Ripen :—Nov. Bth, the
Ceylon, lat. 33.5 N., long. 24.35 E.; 9th, the Vectis,
lat. 34.25 N., long. 20 E.; 11th, the PoDnah, lat.
37.32, long. 9.50 E. ; 15th, the Iberia, off Tarifa ;
and 16th, the Florida, off Cape Roca.
At Alexandria on the 7th were the French fri-
gate Perdrix and the usual Egyptian fleet.
Her Majesty's ships Queen and Gibraltar were
at Malta on the 10th, and the Racoon, 1-1, cdpole, and
Proeris at Gibraltar on the 15th.

The Swedish frigate Vanadis, Captain Haver-
man, 43 days from Carlscrona, calling at Copen-
hagen, Portsmouth, and Lisbon, arrived at Gibraltar
on the 12th instant, and remained there when the
Ripon left. On her arrival the frigate saluted the
garrison with 21 guns, which compliment was ro •
turned immediately from the saluting battery, and
she also saluted the Swedish Consul with nine guns.

The Spanish screw sloop Concordia, 2, Lieut
Campos, left Malaga on the sth inst., for the pena
settlement of .Melilla, having on board M. A. Merry
y Colon, the Spanish Cnarge d'Affaires at the Court
of Morocco, the Spanish Consul, and two Moors.
She also carried 85,000 dollars from the Morocco
treasury to indemnify the Riffians, and terminate
the difference regarding the limits ceded by the
late treaty.
The Spanish papers contain an account, extracted
from the Cuba journals, of the destruction of a Spa-
nish steamer by fire, attended by fearful loss of life
In its main features the story has a great resent•
blance to that of the Amazon, which was burn'
some years ago on her voyage from Southampton
to the West Indies. Like the Amazon, the Spa-
nish steamer (the Mexico) was on her first voyage.
She was plying on the line between Vera Cruz and
the Havannah, and left the former port on Oct. 12.
On the following day, when 90 miles from land, be-
tween Capes Catoche and San Antonio, a fire broke
out in the cargo and spread with great rapidity, baf-
fling all the efforts made to check it. The account of
what followed is derived from 16 persons who were
saved in one of the boats. They say that they suc-
ceeded in launching one of the boats and getting
clear of the ship; that they lay off at a short' dis-
tance, some 40 or 50 yards, in order to save others
who might have courage to throw themselves into
the water. The scene on board in the meantime
was most heartrending. Seventy passengers were
left on board ; the flames were rapidly spreading
over the vessel, driving the poor creatures for a
short refuge to the poop. The shrieks and gestures
of despair of some were mixed with frantic and con-
tused efforts of others to save themselves. These
last, acting under the influence of terror and despair,
and without order or method, defeated their own
object. One boat that was lowered was dashed to
pieces against the accommodation ladder. Another,
when lowered, got loose from the tackles and floated
away empty. A third, which remained alongside,
was sunk by the numbers who jumped into it. A
few minutes after this last catastrophe the whole
ship was a mass of fire, and after a short time filled
and went down. The 16 persons who had got away
in the first boat endured great hardship, and were
five days without provisions. They at last reached
the shore between the River Legarto and Cape
Catoche. Here they fell in with a boat which con-
veyed them to Sisal.
The following British merchant steamers had
arrived out at Gibraltar :—Nov. 7, the Sicilian, Cap-
tain J. Groome, 91 days from Liverpool, for Palermo
and Trieste ; same day, the Marathon, Captain W.
F. M'Arthur, 7 days from Liverpool, for Malta,
&c.; 9th, the Poonah, Captain I. S. Field, 4 days
21 hours from Southampton, with mails, &c., for
Malta and Alexandria ; 11th, the Britannia, Capt.
J. Mullett, 13 days from London ; 12th, the Coper-
nicus, Capt. R. Godsoe, 61 days from Liverpool, for
Malta; 13th, the Ella Constance, Capt. W. Riches,
10 days from Newcastle, for Alexandria ; the Lon-
don, Capt. W. a S. Hall, 8 days from London ; the.
