(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF GOSFORD.
Intelligence reached here this day of the death of
the Earl of Gosford, which took place yesterday even-
ing at Gosford Castle, in the county of Armagh.
The deceased Earl was in the 73d year of his age.
He is succeeded in his title and estates by Viscount
Acheson, now Earl of Gosford.
The deceased Earl filled the high post of Governor-
Gonor.l of the Canadas during the reign of his late
Majesty King William IV.
THE WEATHER.
A most unfavourable change has set in here ; this
has been quite a winter's day.
Several showers of sleet have fallen in the fore-
noon, with a north-east wind and intense cold.
It is feared that the early vegetation will be much
injured by this untoward reverse of the genial
weather of the last six weeks.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
IN RE LONGQUESTY'S TRUST.
The question involved in this cause had reference to
the construction of a will. The wife of the testator
made her will in pursuance of permission given to her
by her husband, by which she bequeathed 1,0001., part
of his property, to her brother and certain of her nephews
and nieces. At the foot of the wife's will the husband
wrote a note signifying his approval of it. The hus-
band afterwards made a codicil to his will, in which he
referred to the permission he had given to his wife to
make a will, and to her having bequeathed 1,0001. to her
brother and her nephews and nieces, and then went on
to bequeath the sums of 1,2001., and 300/, and 400/.,
bank annuities, to his executors in trust for his wife.
The question was, whether the codicil had affected the
right of the parties to take under the wife's will. •
Mr. Ma'am, on behalf of the petitioner, submitted
that the intention of the testator was to give his wife a
testamentary power over 1,0001., and that she was the
person to fix in what manner the nephews and nieces
were to take.

His HONOUR said that his impression was that the
codicil did not affect the two wills; but he was quite
willing to reconsider his decision on a future application.
His Honour the Vice•-Chanc€llor WIGRAM was oc•
cupied during the morning in hearing unopposed
motions.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCUELL.)
TERRY V. COCKBURN.
This was the only case tried, the others being struck
out. The action was to recover the sum of 1,200/. for
money lent and interest thereon. It was not stated who
the parties were, except that plaintiff was a maiden
lady. A portion of the loan had been made so far back
as 1842. Defendant suffered judgment to go by default.
Some of the jury were of opinion they ought not to
give interest where there was no promise.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that they were entitled to
give interest not exceeding 5 per cent., although there
was no promise proved.
The jury then gave a verdict for 1,2001., and interest
for two years at 5 per cent.
RICGE V. LOTTS.
In this case the defendant's attorney appeared to claim
costs, a notice of countermand of trial not having been
served in due time.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said he could not interfere, as
no writ was before him.

BANKRUPTCY—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
IM RE STACEY.
This bankrupt, described as a law stationer, in Lin-
coln's Inn-field, and Blackfriars-road, came up to pass
his last examination, which had been adjourned for
better accounts.
He had been bankrupt in 1844, when his certificate
was suspended for two years, and he recommenced busi-
ness in 1846, before the expiration of the period of
suspension. He had also been employed as a railway
clerk, at a guinea a day, and had also been concerned
as the promoter and director of a company entitled
Counties of Kent and Surrey Ramoneur Association for
Sweeping Chimneys.
After some discussion the bankrupt was allowed to
pass.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CiTY 0 I 7'o 77 II? ,`;L

lie sales oi CoLto:: alay Were 4,U00
bales, and the market clo,od heavily. Prices were
without alteration. The sales include 3,000 American
at 3id . to 6d.; 100 Pernams aid Maranhams at 51d.
to s*d.; and 300 Surats at 3-id. to 4d. per lb.—Railway
Shares were very heavy at lower prices.
The advises received from Italy absorb almost undi-
vided interest, and it must be admitted have excited no
surprise. Under this head, we have stated recently,
and more than once, the feeling of City men
in general, and we explained that whatever
were their sympathies for the cause of Italian independ-
ence, they telt persuaded that the Piedmont( se were not
sufficiently well handled to give them a chance of suc-
cess against the Austrians. Next comes, however, the
grave question as to what is to be done with
Italy? and, in the solution of this, our capi-
talists and merchants are alike interested. The
Danish armistice, it is now generally believed, will be
prolonged till April 15, although it is accounted some-
what singular that no official positive announce-
ment of the tact is given. We inferred, how-
ever, from the later of the Prussian Consul,
dated the 23d instant, that he would not
advise the shipowners of his own nation that an armi-
stice would take place, unless such were the case.
The rate of exehange on India has be en
raised by the company. This is a step that
has been expected, as the private exchange
was advancing. The quotation on Bengal and Madras
is to be Is. 10d., and on Bombay Is. 10*d. the Com-
pany's rupee.
The South Sea Company has held its half yearly ge-
neral court this morning, but nothing of interest has
transpired, except that the Company is gradually buying
up its own stock, as a favouratle investment.
The position of the Money Market is satisfactory as
respects the amount of cash available for commercial
purposes, but there is no apparent probability of
the Bank of England making a reduction in its
minimum charge at present. We have the best autho-
rity for stating that more than one foreign power has
been making application for loans to eminent capitalists
here, but the overtures have not been entertained, on ac-
count of the unsettled condition of continental affairs. This
does not necessarily imply, however, that, at a favour-
able opportunity, the matter might not be entertained ;
and we see too clearly with what facility the Danish
loan was raised, not to be convinced that the same ease
may be experienced in accommodating other countries,
a course to which we must frankly avow extreme re-
pugnance.
The English Stock market has been favourably influ-
enced by the news from abroad, Consols having touched
91f 4 for Money and 911- for Account. The Bears have
been buying back, for with the end of the war in Italy,
or even its postponement, and with the renewal
of the Danish armistice, their chances of profit are sen-
sibly diminished, still they have the chapter of accidents
yet to rely upon. Exchequer-bills have been 365. to
395., and India Bonds 503. premium. South Sea Stock
has been at 100 to 1001.
In the Foreign Market the dealings have been limited,
and Mexican have again been heavy, owing to the non-
arrival of the l)ee. They are 304 to 31*. Peruvian
Stock has been at 65 to 66. Portuguese Four per Cents.
have realised 21 to 28, and Spanish Three per Cents.
294 to 30*. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are

The market for Railway Shares has been flat again,
and generally lower for all the lines, the foreign ex-
cepted.

ARTISTS' BENEVOLENT FUND.—The annual gene-
ral meeting of the members of this corporation was held
yesterday, at Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen. street ; H.
H. Solly, Esq., in the chair. The report, which was
read by Mr. Thistleton, the secretary,• stated that the
institution, which was established for the relief of artists'
widows and orphans, still continues to receive the pa-
tronage and liberal support of her Majesty the Queen,
and that the committee had great pleasure in being able
to allow annuities of 18/. each to widows and Si. to or-
phans. The receipts for the past year, from all sources,
including a balance of 68/ 14s. 6d. from the previous re-
port, were 1,240/. Bs. 11d. The sum of 5651. had been
given to 41 widows, and 1081..155. to orphans; and,
after defraying the other expenses of the institution,
there remained a balance of 210/. 12s. Bd. The report
having been adopted, the court proceeded to the election
of git T. E. gwinburno, Dart., Sir M. A.
Shee, B. B. Cabbell, Esq., M.P., Peter Legh, Esq., and
A. A. Goldsmid, Esq. were elected members of the
council, and after the appointment of a commit tee and
auditors, the proceedings terminated with a vote of
thanks to the chairman for presiding.
PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.—Yesterday evening a
public meeting was held at the South London Hall, Black-
friars-road, for the purpose of adopting a petition for the
full, free, and entire representation of the people. in Par-
liament—Mr. J. Grassby in the chair. A letter was read
from Mr. C. Pearson, M.P., declining to attend, on the
ground that his engagements had already obliged him to
refuse to attend a meeting of his own constituents, and
apologies were also read from other gentlemen expected
to attend. Several gentlemen then addressed the meeting,
calling its attention to the present unequal and unjust
system of property qualification for voters, and submit-
ting a resolution condemning the manner in which the
voice of the people was received within the walls of the
House of Commons. It was urged that it was grossly
unjust that at the present time nearly 6,000,000 male
adults had no voice in returning the representatives of
the people. These 6,000,000 contributed to the mainte-
nance of the State, and their only disqualification was
their not possessing a certain amount of property to en-
title them to vote. Nothing was urged against their in-
tellectual qualification, in which the great majority of
them were at least equal to many Members of Parlia-
ment, some of whom were individually referred to.
These resolutions were agreed to, and the meeting, at
which there were from 700 to 800 persons, separated.
ACCIDENT AT MESSRS. COMBE AND DELAYIELD'B
BREwEßY.—Yesterday afternoon a shocking accident
occurred at the brewery of Messrs. Combe and Delafi eid ,
King-street, Long-acre. It appears that a person named
Watson, a master chimney-sweeper, in
residing Oft
alley, Strand, was examining the flues. He was on one
of the stages of the brewery, and, accidentally stepping
backward, he fell a depth of upwards of thirty feet.
Assistance was promptly rendered, and the unfortunate
man conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital, where he now
lies in a precarious state, his skull being fractured, seve-
ral of his ribs dislocated, besides other severe injuries.
MONUMENT TO THE LATE MR. MOTHERWELL.--
A meeting of the friends and admirers of this eminent
poet was held at Glasgow on the 15th instant, when it
was unanimously resolved that a monument, for some
time contemplated, should be erected to his memory.
We hope to find, says the Glasgow Herald that, through
the exertions of the very respectable committee, Glas-
gow may soon have a suitable memorial erected, in the
Necropolis, as the resting place of Motherwell.

THE SCOTTISH HOSPITAL CORPORATION.—YeS"
terday a General Court of Governors was held at the
premises belonging to the charity in Crane-court, Fleet-
street, Dr. Webster in the chair. From the statement
of the amount of relief distributed during the past years
it appeared that the number of applicants for casual relief
was about 300 monthly. Upon these applicants, together
with 130 aged pensioners, and those who obtained pas'
sages to Scotland, there was expended the sum of
2,3731. 2s. 2d. The receipts for the year, from all
sources, were 3,177/. 9s. Bd., and the expenditure
2,9891. 10s., leaving a balance in bank of 1871. 19s. Bd.
The chairman read a letter from Major James Adair,
presenting to the corporation a life-size portrait of the
late Duke of Montrose, who was for many years pre-
sident of the charity, and one of its most munificent pa'
trots. The letter was ordered to be inserted in
the minutes, and thanks were given to Major
Adair for his valuable present. A petition
was presented to the court trom a person named Wilson,
praying for a continuance of the pension which the so-
ciety had granted him. The secretary stated that the
petitioner had acted as collector and visitor for the hos-
pital for more than thirty years ; and upon resigning+
tour years ago, a pension of 151. a year had been granted
to him. Subsequent to his resignation he had been
guilty of some irregularities in a situation of trust which
he held in another institution, and his death was inserted
in the newspapers. It appeared, however, that the an"
nouncement of his death was merely an expedient to
evade responsibility, for after having kept out of the way
tor some years, he now came forward to ask for a cond.-
nuance of the pension which had been voted to him, and
the arrears due if it was decided that he was entitled to
it. After a brief conversation the petition was referred
to the relief committee, accompanied by a request that
they would investigate the circumstances of the case, and
report thereon to the next general court. There being
no other business before the court, the proceedings then
terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman.
EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT.--PLYMOUTH, MARC°
27.—The ship Madawaska, of Liverpool, G. Mackennel,
master, a private ship bound for Sydney, arrived here on
Friday last, having embarked many of her passengers at
London. On Sunday morning, while heaving her anohor
with a fair wind, and her sails set, a small shore boat
reached her, in which were two men and one woman.
One of the men had come from London in her, and had
taken and paid the passage money for the other man and
woman, but so near were they being left behind, that
and
they only reached as the anchor broke ground,pro-
ceeded immediately to sea. On Monday

Gravesend, having made him a small present of money,
and many things necessary for his voyage. The decep-
sdba withnd 's the
decep-
tion on the part of both was carried on with the greatest
secrecy, the wife, it seems, having dined with her hus-
band and four children on the Saturday; but she, on
the Saturday evening, went out and never returned.
From information and inquiries, the lady's drawers
were searched, when it was found all her clothes were
taken. The distracted husband and his friend imme-
diately left by the mail train for this place, where they
arrived to have their suspicions confirmed. The prin-
cipals in this unhappy affair are of the Jewish per-
suasion. The distressed husband returned by the first
train to London, to consult his professional and other
friends on the best means of recovering his property,
if not his wife, to whom he had been married nineteen
years.

THE ORLEANS FAMILY.—Two ♦essels have ar-
rived at one of the wharfs adjacent to London-bridge
from Eu—oue the Gustave, having 202 cases, and the
other the Vile d'Eu, having 58 packages on board,
stated to contain merchandise, and consigned to order.
These numerous packages contain a large quantity of
valuables and other property of the ex-royal family of
France, which were saved at the period of the revolu-
tion from pillage or destruction, and arrangements have
bee❑ made for them to be safely deposited under the
care of the authorities until they are cleared and re-
moved to their destination. On a recent arrival of some
packages containing portraits, marbles, and a variety of
other valuables, belonging to the Duke de Nemours,
from Havre, especial permission was given by the Go-
vernment authorities for their delivery to their illus'
trious owner as his private personal property on arrival
in this country.
