THREE HOUSES BURNED DOWN AT TOTTENHAM
FROM WANT OF WATER.—This (Saturday) morn-
ing, about two o'clock, the inhabitants of the usually quiet
neighbourhood of Tottenham were thrown into a state of
the greatest excitement in consequence of the sudden out-
break of a most destructive fire in one of the newly-erected
buildings in the Seven Sisters-road, Tottenham. The
flames commenced from some unexplained cause in the
lower part of the building, and they spread with such
rapidity that in the course of a few minutes the build-
ing was on fire from the base to the roof. Information was
at once forwarded to the various fire stations, and nume-
rous engines of the London Brigade, with three of Shand
and Mason's land steamers, were early in attendance, but,
unfortunately, not a drop of water could be obtained for
nearly one hour, and tho consequence was that the flames
extended to two other buildings. Water was eventually
obtained, and the firemen went to work, but the fire could
not be extinguished until the three houses were burned
down. It is unknown whether the property was insured.
Another serikpus fire broke out at South Hackney Downs.
Tha flames commenced in a 12-roomed house, and although
the engines of the Brigade and the land steamers by Shand
and Mason were early in attendance, and a good supply of
water was readily procured, the fire could not be extin-
guished until the building was destroyed.
The Princess Clotilda, who has not accompanied
Prince Napoleon to Havre, will soon set out, it is said, for
Prangins with her two children. The Princess will after--
Wards, in all probability, go on to visit her family in Italy.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S RESIGNATION is thus
commented on in the Law Times of to-day (Satur-
day) :—Lord Westbury has taken his hurt, by a parricidal
thrust, under the arm of a friendly peacemaker between
father and son. " 'Tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide
as a church door, but 'tis enough, 'twill serve." We have
already spoken of the legislative acts, in connection with
which Lord,Westbury's name will go down to history, so
long as the statute-book, whether unconsolidated or con-
solidated, shall remain. For those acts have been great
constructive measures, by which two courts of justice have
their modern existence, another institution, scarcely less
than a land court, has been created, and Equity has spread
is branches over the whole country. So long, too, as case
law shall abide, his judgments will endure, as a witness of
breadth of principle and skill in'its application, cogency of
reasoning and force of language. A more visible monu-
ment to Lord Westbury's successful energy will be the
Palace of Justice, when, out of the place where foulness
now engenders disease, it shall arise, as did the city of
Peter the Great out of the swamps of the Neva.
The Queen has been pleased to appoint the Rev. George
Protheroe to be one of her Honorary Chaplains in Ordinary
to her Majesty.

SPORTDIG INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

(From the Illustrated London News)
The will of Gen. Sir William Tuyll, K.C.H. of
her Majesty's Army, Colonel 7th Hussars, has been
proved in her Majesty's: Court. He also held the
title of Baron Van Tuyll Van Scrooskerken, was
originally in the Dutch army, had served in the
Peninsula, and had held a command in India. He
was domiciled in London, but temporarily residing
in the Hague, Holland, where he died, possessed of
property in England which was sworn under £2,000
personalty, and probate granted to his relict, the
executrix, for life. The will, dated 1859, is trans-
lated from the Dutch. The gallant general was up-
wards of 80 years of age, and his commission as
full general in the British Army bears date the
20th June, 1854. By his will he confirms his
marriage settlement, and leaves the usufruct of
inheritance to his wife for life, appointing as
residuary legatees his sister, the Do wager
Van der Carpellen, and the issue of his two
deceased brothers, in three equal shares. The family
portraits and paintings are to go with the Castle of
Zuylen, except the portraits of his parents, which
upon his wife's decease, he leaves to his said sister.
He has left to his nephew, Baron Van Tuyll Van
Scrooskerken, an estate at Zuylen, for the benefit
of the Bewaar School to be opened for children of
all persuasions. He bequeaths to the Protestant
poor of Hague, Webrooke, and Zuylen, to each
parish, 1,000 guilders, and the like sum to the Roman
Catholic poor of Zuylen and Maarson ; and legacies
to all his domestics and labourers on his estate.
The will of John George Phillimore, Esq Q.C.
of Shiplake House, near Henley-on-Thames, and
Old-square, Lincoln's-inn, was administered to in
the London Court, by his relict, Rosalind Margaret,
daughter of Lord Justice Knight Bruce, the resi-
duary legatee, and is as follows, and in his own
handwriting :—" This is the last will and testament
of me, John George Phillimore. I give all over
which I have any disposing power, with the exception
of the edition of Clarendon given to my father by the
University of Oxford, to my dear wife; and I ap-
point her sole guardian of my son, not doubting
that she will take care that he has a classical and
learned education. And I leave to my son, as an
heirloom, the Clarendon I have mentioned above,
with my blessing. Dated June 19, 1859." The
personalty was sworn under £2,000. The learned
counsel was called to the bar at Lincoln's-inn, 1832 ;
appointed Recorder on Constitutional Law and
Legal History to the Inns of Court, 1853 ; and was
M.P. for Leominster 1852-7 ; and died at the age
of fifty-six.
