THE NEW BILL ON CHARITABLE TRUSTS.—Yesterday
the ne'q bill for the better administration of charitable
trusts, which has passed the Lords, was printed by
order of the House of Commons. There are 64 pro- •
v:sions in it, and the measure is only to extend to Eng- -
land and Wales. By this bill her Majesty will be)
empowered to appoint charity commissioners and °thee
officers. There is to be a board to carry into operation
the act, and to inquire into the condition and manage-
ment of charities. In cases of charities the incomes of
which exceed 301., the Master of the Rolls, and the
Vice-Chancellors, upon application to them at chambers,
are to have the same jurisdiction as the Court of Chan-
cery or Lord Chancellor now upon informations, &c.
District Courts of Bankruptcy and County Courts are
to have jurisdiction in cases of charities the incomes of
which do not exceed 301. This bill will give a good`.
deal of business to the County. Courts. There is an
appeal from the County Courts in charity cases, and
daily experience shows that :sere should be a like appeal
in all cases from County Courts where parties feel them-
selves aggrieved.,
DETERMINED SUICIDE.--A sailor, named Joseph Page, ;
having deserted from her Majesty's ship Queen, the )
police of the various towns in the neighbourhood o
plymouth were supplied with his description. Accord...
ingly, on Monday a policeman of Exeter found him in r
house in Mary Arches-street in that city. Being par .
tially undressed at the time, he retired to one corner of '
the room, as if to put on his clothes, but he suddenly
stabbed himself near the heart with a large clasp knife,.
such as is used by sailors. The wound is considered.
mortal, and the surgeons who were called in entertain..
no hopes of the man's recovery. The act was so sudden
that the policeman had no chance to avert it.
THE FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE IN HATTON GARDEN.--
Yesterday, Mr. T. Wakley, assisted by Mr. Brent, re-
sumed at the Holborn Union, Gray's-inn-lane, the ad-
journed inquest on the respective bodies of Andrew.
Stephens and Emily Curtis, who perished in the fire
which occurred on the premises numbered 107, Hat-
ton-garden, on the 25th of June last. When several.
witnesses had been examined, and the coroner had
summed up the evidence, the jury returned a verdict to
the effect that the two deceased were burned to death
in the fire, but how the said fire occurred there was no
evidence to prove.
PEERAGES UNDER ATTAINDER.—In the recent debate
in the House of Lords on the reversal of the attainder
affecting the earldom of Perth (by which the Duc de
Melfort regains that ancient title), Lord Brougham took
occasion to refer to the injustice of allowing other dig-
nities similarly situated to remain obscured by penal.
enactments. The learned lord's remarks apply especi-
ally to the dignities of Derwentwater, Galmoyle, Kil-
marnock, Herries, and Baltinglass—all forfeited for mis-
taken but devoted loyalty. Of Kilmarnock, the heir is
the Earl of Errol ; Herries is claimed by Wm. Constable
Maxwell, Esq., of Everingham, county York ; and the
viscountcy of Baltinglass has been declared, by the re-
port of her Majesty's Attorney-General, to whom the
case was referred by the Crown, to be now vested in the
Rev. Charles Eustace, of Robertstown, the eldest brother
of Generals Sir William and Sir John Eustace,
