CURIOUS BEQUEST.

a the will of Sir Gilbert East, Bart., of Fitfield,
Berks, proved in Doctors' Commons under 300,0001.,
is the following curious bequest. Certain clauses in the
will are marked 1,2, &c.—" I leave to Eleanor Mary
East every dog belonging to me at my decease, be it
where it may—shall be kept, in every respect, as well
as during my life, be fed with milk, burley, or oatmeal,
or sea biscuit and tripe, &c., and I leave to be paid to
the person possessing the property set down in No. 1,
for his life, 7s. a week for each dog ; and, at the de-
cease of Mary Eleanor East, who shall first keep them,
the person in actual possession of the property be-
queathed in No. 1, be be who he may, shall continue well
and punctually to pay the weekly allowance for each dog,
as before directed ; and, moreover, to find out and employ
a trusty honest person to look after them and attend
them, which, together with any kennel furniture, when
wanting, shall be an extra payment, over and above the
weekly allowance, as shall also medicine. Ido not
allow of any one dog to be killed because old or in-
firm, under a false notion of charity. And, further,
any horse or mare belonging to me at my decease
shall have each a run for life, with every possible
care and attention paid to them ; but most particularly
in winter, when I will that chaff, bran, and hay, be daily
and plentifully given to them, and warm sheds to shelter
themselves in be provided ; and that they be allowed to
run in my meadows, at Fifield particularly. And I
hereby order that Eleanor Mary East, during her life,
do amply provide for the horses, &e., aforesaid, and
at her decease I leave and bequeath eight shillings per
week, to be defrayed by the person being in actual posses-
sion of my property set forth in No. 1, for the maintenance
of each horse, mare, or gelding ; and whom I hereby re-
quire to hire a trusty and honest person to attend
them, and administer to their wants, who shall he paid
extra, and not from the Bs. per week. Further, any
parrot that may to me belong, at my decease, shall, at
the decease of Eleanor Mary East, if she outlives me,
be made over to Martha Hack, who, I trust, will in
every respect take the greatest care of them, on the
same plan of keeping and feeding as practised
while I was living ; and to enable Martha Hack to
perform this, I hereby order the person in the
actual possession of the property set down and be.
qneathed in No. 1, to pay unto Martha Hack, or
any other person afterwards whom it may be ne

cessary to appoint, in case of any unforeseen cireurn

stance, or the death of Martha Hack occurring, and
which substitute to Martha Hack ought to be very
trustworthy, the quarterly sum of 151., making 601.
per year. And the person in the actual possession of
the property bequeathed in No. 1, shall appoint such
successor when necessary ; and at the death of the said
parrot only 201. a year for life shall be paid unto
Martha Hack, or the successor actually appointed.
A cage similar (being iron) to the present one shall be
Provided at the expiration of every two years for the
parrot aforesaid ; to be purchased new by the person
in actual possession of the property set down in No. 1,
at his own expense."

A letter was received in town this morning from
the manufacturer of the engines of the Ilalifax':and
Boston steam-vessel Columbia, and we find, from its con-
tents, that the remarks made by us in Thursday's
paper, as to the probable nature of the damage said
to have been sustained by her machinery, were per-
fectly warranted. It is thought quite impossible that
the commander of the Columbia should havo gone
out of his way to provision a distressed vessel being
himself in distress, without writing to give the ne-
cessary information to his employers. Mr. Napier intends,
we hear, to put himself in communication with the master
of the Rapid, which vessel has proceeded to Antwerp to
discharge her cargo, in order that the truth may be elicited.
The great success of Mr. Cunard's line of steamers has
apparently excited a very unworthy feeling of jealousy
on the part of other shipowners in the American trade,
and hence the reports injurious to his vessels that arc pro-
pagated from time to time. A gross misstatement ema-
nating trom the same source (Cork), was set on foot on a
previous occasion, concerning the Acadia, and it is greatly
doubted if the machinery of the Columbia has suffered at

all. —Poi..

The East India Association of Glasgow have lately
presented a memorial to Lord PaLnerston respecting
the encroachments of the Dutch in the Indian
Archipelago. The memorialists begin by referring
to the papers recently laid before Parliament (a
description of which has already been published), as
proofs of the unsuccessful attempt of the British
Government to obtain a recognition of the just in-
terpretation of the treaty of 1824, while they state
that the claims for compensation to merchants for
duties unjustly levied must be consifered as departed
from, chiefly because the customs' regulations of the
Bengal Government are inconsistent with the treaty
of 1824, and are so far opposed to the rights of
British trade with Java. But, besides expressing
their regret at the decline of the trade with Java
and the other Dutch dependencies, they particu-
larly call attention to the continued encroachments
of the Dutch in extending their influence over the
independent native States, reminding the Minister
that the commerce in the Straits of Malacca mainly
depends on the intercourse with the native traders
from Sumatra, Celebes, Borneo, and other islands.
The Dutch, they say, since the cession to them of
Fort Marlborough and the other British possessions
in Sumatra, pursuant to the treaty of 1824, have
omitted no opportunity of diverting the native trade
from Penang and Singapore, their aggressions increasing
in spite of serious complaints. That they have taken
possession of the Rajah of Sinkers territory on the
west coast of Sumatra, and also of Barus, thus
effecting a monopoly of the trade of these districts,
is already shown by the Parliamentary papers ; and
it appears by accounts received by the lust over-
land mail, that they have further taken posses-
sion of the port of Tourouman, while fears are en-
tertained lest they should likewise occupy all the ports
between Sinkel and Acheea, from whence the Straits
settlements have large supplies of pepper, &c. The
memorialists add, that the Dutch have extended a set-
tlement to the north-east coast, threatening Lancat,
' 'l,O kingdom of Sine ; so that there is every
Delli, aut. ----
subjugation of Sumatra, and
reason to expect the cub,—
except on such
the destruction of all trade with
terms as the Dutch shall be pleased to dictate.
They then refer to Lord Yalmerbtou a delatch to

his replies to Mr. Colephoun's inquiries during to
last Session, as showing that the interpretation Petutit
the sixth clause of the treaty of 1824 (declaritlit'dt
no new settlements shall be formed on the isal%
without previous authority from the contractl;
Governments) is such as to justify the Dutch aired
sions, because their owl/ Government has anal°,
them. Such a construction, the memorialists 81;
mit, would justify any future occupation by '6,
Dutch, while the British. ere precluded from inerear
ing their territory in the Eastern seas ; and they heat
pr.( ss as their own interpretation of the treatY'ftroel
it binds the contracting parties to abstain 0
impeding each other's trade in the Indian Art,cbil„r,
lago without the concurrent sanction of both. i`f '11;6
ring to the Dutch Minister's note to Sir E. 1‘43-,
dated August 18, 1839, they quote the followieg bl
pressions :—" If the high contracting Parties have, to
Articles 9 and 10 respectively, renounced the right Of
conclude any treaty with the States in the lola°a ea
Sumatra and the Peninsula of Malacca, they -to
still more interdicted from sending assistance 60
these States." Here the memorialists observe,
lace
Dutch authorities clearly consider the right t° >n
for
treaties as renounced, and therefore it is abstic,r-tcli
them to war in the island. However, the mu d
Sinkel ot.
Minister justifies the occupation of
