HE LATE Mn. WooD's WILL—The cost
of conducting the proceedings before the Privy Council is
en,?rrn°os• Our liberal Gloucester Town Council voted away
cvul:V. from the borough fund for this purpose last week ! The
o leading counsel engaged on the part of the Corporation
each require, we are told, fees of 3001., besides additional Ices
the matter in Cow t. This is a pleasant prospect for the rate-
PaYers ! Gloucester Paper.
The Gazette de France of the 20th inst, pub-
,lint's a proclamation of Cabrera, in which he confesses his
ii•Llesa and his relapse, without plainly announcing the state of
is health at the time of his writing. The Carlist General ex-
Presies hopes which the recent checks of his party have not
realized, especially the taking of Aliaga.
• BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER.—An inquest
Ras testerday held before Mr. Carter, the coroner for Surrey,
et the Royal Oak, Paradise-street, Ro'therhithe, on the hady of
;gentleman, aged about 45, which was taken out of the river on
and.
morning. The deceased was dressed in a suit of black,
7. had on a brown great coat. His shirt, of fine linen, was
eked " Aked." A white handkerchief was round his neck.
He Wore worsted stockings, and the right foot was deformed in
itremarkable manner. He is supposed to have been in the
found
about three weeks. A key and a pair of spectacles were
Round in his pockets. The Coroner directed that the clothes
should be taken care of by the beadle. Verdict, " Found dead
in the river, but how or in what manner the deceased came
there the Jury had no evidence."
Mr. Trotter, baronial constable of Meath, who
absconded, 1,200/. in debt, was taken on board an American
passenger-vessel in Dublin last week, and the magistrates of
the Head-office committed him.

THE SWEDISH CIVIL LIST.-The States
Committee of Sweden have proposed that the King's civil list
shall continue to be 420,000 dollars. They propose for the
Crown Prince 170,000, and, as needle money of the Crown
Princess, 20,000, which, with some minor allowances, forms a
total amount of 675,210 dollars.

It appears that the statement in the Audience of
Mr. Carter having met with an accident, from an attack by
his tiger at Cahors is untrue. Mr. Carter was not even in the
department when it was said to have taken place, but proceeded
direct from Toulouse to Bordeaux, where lie arrived on the
14th. The Bordeaux papers state that he could not agree upon
Srrns for his appearance at any of the Bordeaux theatres, and
14tended to go to Nantes.
, LONDON FLOATING BATHS.—We learn with
Pleasure that a Company is formed for the establishment of con-
venient baths on the river Thame4, for the use of the inhabi-
,ants of London generally, but more particularly the working
classes. The baths are to be under the superintendence of
proper persons, competent to give instructions in the art of
7wintrain,,. Separate baths from those used by adults are very
Properly To be provided for boys. The charges for bathing
rill'l be from one penny to threepence each person, and no extra
charge will be made for going on board and returning. Such
baths are much wanted, and if the Company adhere to its pros-
pectus we cordially wish it success.
