THE LATE MR. RICHARD THORNTON'S WILL.—
Mr. Smith, the record keeper of the Court of Probate, cor-
rects the statement made relative to the will of the late
Mr. Thornton. According to Mr. Smith, " the will is not
yet proved, and the account of the legacies contained in it,
and also the amount under which the personal estates is
sworn, is entirely inaccurate." Mr. Smith further states
that the will cannot be seen by the public until ho pro-
bate is under seal, which, he is informed, may not be for
I some days.
A WOULD-BE CALCRAFT.—One evening this
week several urchins were amusing themselves a
short distance from the metal bridge of the railway com-
pany, Montrose, when the case of the notorious, poisoner,
Dr. Pritchard, fell to bo discussed. After expatiating upon
the enormity of his crimes, his punishment was touched
upon, several of the urchins expressing thmilselves as
curious upon the mode of the infliction of that punish-
ment. One of them, more knowing than the others, pro-
mised to show them the manner experimentally, provided
some ono would volunteer to be Dr. Pritchard, pro tem.
One of them having agreed to this, a small rope was pro
cured and fastened to the paling. The culprit having in-
serted his head into the noose, it was adjusted, and the
1 little fellow was then suspended a distance of several
inches from the ground—the executioner remarking at the
, same time, " This is the way they are going to hang Dr.
I Pritchard." The urchin was then cut down, but not till
he had been severely injured about the neck by the rope.
THE STRIKE OF THE NAILERS. BELLOWS
CUTTING.—The strike which has extended over
about seven weeks was gradually terminating this week,
j but owing to several bellows being cut, by those still
"out," the bulk of the "thousand" nailers have again left
their work, and aro on strike, and they now state that the
payment of the full score allowance will alone cause them
to resume their work. It is said that those who continued
seeing that it was impossible to gain
t jfihremirienntdhse ikoslternge:is some were at work and some were at
play,commenced spoiling the workmen's bellows, so as
to compel them to leave their work, and to frighten others
away from their work. Attempts are being made to find
out those who have committed those trade outrages.
ACCIDENT TO A STEAM FIRE ENGINE—Last night,
,lout ten o'clock, Messrs. Shand and Mason's steam
fire engt2o was proceeding from Chandos-street to the
scene of a fire ia Thames-street, and when in Picket-street,
Strand, nearly oppos:t9 St. Clement's Church, was ob-
structed by a cab, in avoidii4r; which the wheel skidded on
the kerb, and the engine, with a full complement of fire-
men, was upset. One of the men was slightly injured.
The engine was much damaged.

A GRAVEDIGGERS' STRIKE.—The Courrier de
Saone et Loire says :—" Sepulchral news reaches us from
Autun; the gravediggers have struck ! The people of
Autun must not, therefore, die, unless they wish their
bodies to remain unburied. We see no other way of oppos-
ing the pretensions of men who live by other people's
deaths. Such a result as this it was scarcely supposed
would be produced by the law on coalitions."
THE ATTEMPTED. MURDER AT PLYMOUTH.—The
marine store-dealer Bunter, who stabbed Detective-
Inspector Annie with a sword on Saturday, committed
suicide in the police cell yesterday. He broke his break-
fast basin, and with the pieces cut the arteries of his arms
and throat so severely that he afterwards died of the
wounds. Inspector Annis is still alive. •
The Moniteur de l'Algerie states that the transport
Rhone has just left Algiers for the Antilles and Mexico
with two companies of Zouaves and some Turcos em-
barked in that town. That vessel had previously taken on
board at Toulon a number of military, naval, and civilian
passengers, among whom were 100 men of the Foreign
Legion, and the officers and crew of the Brandon.
GREAT BRITAIN AND BRAZIL.—A correspondence
has taken place between the British, Portuguese, and Bra-
zilian Governments, the result of wihch is that Brazil
accepts the proposals of her Majestys Government of
rFee_be a nstablished. lid
