LIVERPOOL, JAN. B.—The packet Dean, Captain
Dean, arrived this morning from the River Plate,
brings accounts from Monte Video to the Ilth of
November inclusive.
Oribe hail, on the 30th of October, re-opened upon
the town with great activity the fire of his bvtteries.
Entre Rios accounts state that Urquiza had marched
with a large force on Corrientes.
Her Majesty's packet, with the September mails
hence, _bad arrived from Rio at Monte Video. Busi-
ness was somewhat more lively than for some time
previously. Exchange on England, 41i. Freights
were rather lower ; the quotations for hides and tal-
low were 755. to 765. per ton.
The following is an extract from a commercial
letter received by this arrival :
" Monte Video, Nov. 9.

" We have a considerable stir in this market at
present, caused by the arrival of several purchasers
from the interior provinces of Buenos Ayres, who are
all in haste to take advantage of the time allowed
them by Rosas to take goods thence ; as you are
doubtless aware that Rosas had notified on the 26th
ult. to the collector of the Custom-house that no
vessel should b® allowed to enter, or be cleared out-
wards, under 120 tons burden, after the 30th inst.,
which is tantamount to the closing the ports, so long
talked of. But it cannot be supposed that the French
will allow him to have all his own way; the object
being evidently to cut off the resources of the Go-
vernment. it is to be hoped that ere this period
shall have expired such accounts will arrive from
Europe as to cause an annulment of so injurious a
step.
" The purchasers at present in the market will
take their goods by way of the Rosaria, by which
means they save considerable ecpense."

THE WILL OF THE ARCHBISHOP
OF YORK.

This will was made only six weeks before his
death, and the original was deposited on the 3d
instant in the archives of the Prerogative Court of
Canterbury. The property of his Grace is thus be-
queathed :—The property be purchased at Culham
and Baldon, in Oxfordshire, adjoining to the Nune-
ham estate, devised to him by the will of the late
Earl Harcourt, he devises to such person as may suc-
ceed to the Nuneham estate and lands,-and to be sub-
ject to the devise in the will of the late Earl, but to
pay out of the Culham property 401. annually for the
endowment of a school at Nuneham Coartney. The
Earl by his will empowered his Grace to raise
15,0001. for younger children out of the manors,
lands, and estates. In pursuance thereof, his Grace
appoints 10,0001. to his daughter, Anne Harcourt.
To his son George, his successor to the inheritance
of Nuneham and Stanton Harcourt, he leaves all
his household property, stores, wines, and con-
sumable articles at Nuneham, and everything
belonging to him on the premises (not being
heirlooms), he paying 4,0004 to the residuary
personal 'estate;His Grace.here observes that, "it hav-
ing been the particular wish of our joint benefactor,
to whom we are indebted for that inheritance, that a
deer park should be kept up there, I hope that my
successor, from regard to his memory and mine, will
continue in the park a small herd of deer, not less
, than 200, there being at present about 400." The
books and pictures in his mansion at Nuneham are
to descend, as heirlooms, with the inheritance., To
; the library at Nuneham he gives such of his books,
maps, prints, and drawings, at Grosvenor-square and
Bishopthorpe, of which there may not be duplicates
at Nuneham, and the remainder he leaves to his son
William. The Harcourt plate (which he describes to
be very extensive) and the pictures at Nuneham are
heirlooms ; he adds to these the portraits of the
Marquis of Stafford and the late Duke of Sutherland,
which are at Bishorthorpe. The pictures which his
Grace found on entering the palace at Bishopthorpe
are heirlooms of the see of York ; and his Grace
makes an addition to them of the portrait of his
late Majesty King George 111. (by West) and
his own portrait. The pecuniary bequests are
as 'follows : To his sons Charles, 7,0001. ;
Egerton, 6,0001.; William and Frederick, 3,0001.
each ; and Henry and Francis, 1,0001. each ; and to
his daughter Anne, 7,0001. To his grandchildren,
namely—Lady Norreys, the six children of his son
William, the seven children of his daughter Louisa,
to Jane (the daughter of his son Frederick), and to
his own niece, Louisa Boothby, 1,0001. each. To
others of his family. his Grace has made equivalent
gifts in his lifetime. To his trustees he leaves 10,0001.
for Edward, the eldest son of his son William Vernon
Harcourt. To the ministers and churchwardens of the
respective parishes of Bishopthorpe, Sudbury, and
Nuneham, 5001. for each parish, to apply the interest
annually at Christmas among the poor. To each of
his servants a legacy ; and to his own personal man
servant an annuity of 1001., and to his housekeeper
6001. sterling, for their long and faithful services.
All legacies to be free of duty. His Grace concludes
his will thus :—" Infirmities, always more or less
experienced towards the close of a long-pro-
tracted life, have necessarily connected me more
intimately with my dear son Egerton than others
of my family, he having been with me on all
occasions, and to whom I am indebted for, being-re-
lieved from various discomfittres to which irsy im-
portant station in the church, and the highly,
responsible duties attached to it, must unavoidably
have subjected .me; and he having unceasingly
watched my wants, and anticipated my wishes, with
an attention my heart fully appreciated, but were I
to attempt to give utterance to, I should fail in so
doing, I do appoint him my residuary, legatee and
sole executor." Dated on the 25th of September,
1847, and signed "E. Ebor." Witnessed by W.
Gray, solicitor, York, and one of his clerks. Besides
the property in the province of. York, his Grace died
possessed of funded and personal property within the
province of Canterbury which was estimated for duty
at 80,000/. This venerable prelate, in his 91st year,
had held the see of York for a period of 40 years, the
annual revenue of which by the last returns, is
given at 10,0001.; upon his translation thereto from
the see of Carlisle, in December, 1807, he was then
Dr. Edward Venables Vernon ; but on his subse-
quently acquiring the Nuneham and Harcourt pro-
perty, from the late Earl Harcourt, Viscount Nuneham
(which titles are now extinct), he obtained the
Royal license to use the name of Harcourt.—Ob-

SCOTCH CHURCH, CROWN-COURT.—Yesterday this
place of worship was re-opened by the Rev. Dr. Cum-
ming, the minister of that place. The chapel was for-
merly calculated to accommodate nearly 1,000 persons.
It is now enlarged so as to contain 400 additional sit-
tings. The greater part of the building is entirely new.
Its interior is an oblong square, the pulpit standing in
the centre of one of the longer sides. The gallery runs
along the other three sides. The roof is of oak, elabo-
rately and beautifully executed. There was a very
large congregation. The minister took his text from Isc
Timothy, chap. 3, verse 15. The discourse was splo.°-
priate for the occasion, and of that able and instructive
character which might be expected from the celebrity of
the preacher. In the course of the service, the Rev.
Gentleman stated that during the temporary occupation
of Exeter Hall, by that congregation, they had contr
buted 2,0001. towards the expenses of the church, about
1,000/. for the schools, 4001. for their destitute country-
men at home, and about 1,000/ for other purposes.

In a recent number we gave a brief notice of a
Patent Life Boat, invented by Mr. Andrew Lamb,
of Southampton, and Mr. John White, of Cowes.
We have since had an opportunity of examining one
of these boats, and are so impressed with the import-
ance of the invention, that we again call the attention
of our readers to it.
Before entering, however, into a description of this
invention, we shall glance at the qualities which
should be possessed by a life boat, and then sE-e
whether the ordinary life boats fulfil these conditions,
The primary and indispensable characteristics of a
life boat are buoyancy and stability ; with which
should be conjoined strength and tolerable sailing
qualities. In all life boats buoyancy is obtained by
the employment of air-vessels, or substances, such as
cork, which are of less specific gravity than water.
In the best boats hitherto made, however, the buoy-
ancy is subversive of stability, from the injudicious
position of the centre of buoyancy, which being
beneath the centre of gravity of the boat, gives
it a dangerous tendency to tilt over, bottom up-
wards, especially when the boat is filled with men,
whereby the centre of gravity is elevated still
further. Besides, the air-vessels, however strongly
attached to the boat, do not contribute to the strength
of the boat, while they add to its weight and unwiel-
diness.. In Messrs. Lamb and White's new life boat,
the arrangements adopted to ensure buoyancy are, at
the same time, conducive to the stability and strength
of the boat ; so that with the same weight of mate-
rials as one of the ordinary life boats, a superior
degree of safety and efficiency, with increased accom-
modation, are at once attained. The air vessels in
the new life boat form a trunk round the inside of the
boat, rising as high as the gunwale, but only extend-
ing down on each side as far as the bilge, whereby
the eentre of buoyancy is kept so high, that it is im-
possible to capsize or swamp the boat. The upper
part of the air trunk is rounded off inside, to permit
the boat to be partially emptied of water as she rolls,
and to facilitate the use of the oars; and the trunk is
divided by partitions into several water. tight com-
partments, so that no material injury could accrue
from one of them being accidentally stove At either
end of the boat, which may be used indifferently as
stem or stern, a water-tight compartment is parti-
tioned off, in which provisions, compasses, signal-
lights, and other necessaries may be constantly
kept, to obviate the risk of their omission
or neglect in the confusion arising from any sudien
emergency.
One of these new life boats was recently tested at
I Southampton, before several officers of her Majesty's
Navy, and of the East India Company's Service, and
gave most satisfactory results. Its dimensions were
30 feet long, 9 feet broad, and 3 feet deep ; it was
built of mahogany, and weighed between 17 and 18
cwt., which does not exceed the weight of an ordinary
ship's boat of similar dimensions. It was found to
possess good sailing qualities, being remarkably stiff
under canvass, quick in stays, and easily worked.
With 134 men on board, the gunwale was 13 to 14
inches above water; when filled with water, it carried
23 men without any increase of immersion, and was
found to possess greater stiffness than when altogether
empty. To test its stability, 40 men standing on the
gunwale, endeavoured to capsize it, when filled with
water, but only succeeded in immersing the gunwale
six inches under the water; and from the rounded
form of the gunwale inside, the rocking motion cum-
municated to the boat cleared it of water at every
roll. From the various trials that have been made, it
has been proved that a life boat of this description,
equipped for any emergency, could yet be used for
the ordinary purposes of a ship's boat without re-
quiring alteration; it could be launched when under
weigh, or in a heavy sea, even with men on board,
without the risk of swamping or capsizing—which in-
deed, under the most adverse circumstances, would be
all but impossible.
In the plate which accompanies the present number
We give drawings of this invention, which are too
explicit to require any lengthened explanation. The
merits of this life boat are meeting with a rapid re-
cognition ; the Lords of the Admiralty have already
agreed to its substitution for paddle-box boats in
several steamers now in progress ; and we have no
doubt that it will be extensively adopted in the royal
navy, and in transport and emigrant vessels. In the
mercantile marine it is beginning to be introduced,
and we have seen advertisements of the sailing of
passenger ships, in which the possession of the new
life boat was urged as a reason for preference. The
validity of this plea, no humane and intelligent per-
son, cognisant of the risks to which sailing vessels are
exposed, will venture to impugn ; and we are con-
vinced that so soon as the public are fully instructed
in the advantages of such a contrivance, they will
render its adoption imperative upon passenger ships,
by withholding their patronage from all recusants ;
unless, indeed, they.. are anticipated by a Government
edict compelling every vessel to be so provided.—

STEALING A FLOCK OF SHEEP.--A• middle-aged
man, having the appearance of a small farmer, named
William Lungly, was indicted at the Essex Quarter
Sessions, on the 7th inst , for stealing twenty-eight
sheep, the flock of Mr. Moss, of Writtle. On the 7th of
December the sheep were left in a meadow on the pro-
secutor's farm, and the next morning they
,were all
missing. The same day the prisoner drove the flock to
Romford market, which is about eighteen miles distant,
and placed them in the hands of Mr. Benson, one of the
public salesmen, to dispose of. The sheep having a
brand upon them which did not correspond with the
name the prisoner gave, the suspicions of the sales-
man were excited, and he questioned the prisoner re-
specting them, when he said he had bought them at
the sheep fair tight months before. Mr. Katen, a
relative of the prosecutor, on his way to the
market, had seen the sheep resting at a public
house, and knowing them to be Mr. Moss's he con-
cluded that gentleman was sending them for sale ; and
going up to the pens in the market in which they were
exposed he got into conversation with Mr. Benson re•
specting them, when he found the prisoner was offering
them as his own. They had a private mark on them by
which Mr. Katen was enabled to identify them as those
of his relative. The prisoner, who was near, was then
further questioned respecting them, when he still per-
sisted that they were his own ; but soon after he walked
away and endeavoured to escape, on which- a policeman
was called, and he was captured. A message was then
sent for Mr. Moss, who had been searching for his sheep
in the neighbourhood, thinking they had strayed, and
ton his arrival he identified them as his property. The
• prisoner now offered nothing in his defence, and he was
; found guilty on which the chairman said he 'had sel-
dom heard of such an open and wholesale robbery ; he
could not perceive any mitigating circumstances in the
case, and he sentenced him to be transported for fifteen
years.

and meat to the poor was adhered to on this occasion
With great profusion. The poor of Alexandria have
lost a great friend in Moharrem Bey, as none applied
to bim for charity in vain, and to such rkpi?iot did
he carry his disposition to do good that the -Vice-
roy deemed it necessary to put a restraint on. 'his
expenditure. Moharrem Bey had fitted out. ono' of
his largest palaces in the town as a caravansary for
.the reception of pilgrims on their may to Mecca,
who always found relief and shelter there free of cost.
In his youth Moharrem Bey committed great 4,x-
--eesses, and-during his latter years he suffered much
from paralysis. He was a countryman of the,_Vice-
roy, both bring born in Routnelia, and when Mehemet
Ali became ruler of Egypt
,he , invited his friend to
join him, gave him in marriage one of his daughters,
who died about fifteen years ago, and made him
Governor of Alexandria, which post he retained until
'his death.
Artin Bey, who has been Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Commerce in Egypt since the death of
Boghos Bey, in 1844, has just received authority
from Mehemet Ali to act entirely according to his
own judgment, and without any reference to ttis
Highness, in all matters relating to his administra-
tion, especially with regard to the disposal, of Go-
vernment produce. This is a mark of great favour
and confidence on the part of the Viceroy, as Boghos
Bey had this uncontrolled power only during the
' two last years of his life. The quantity of produce
coming in to the Government yearly is very small at
present, compared to what it was five years ago, as
at that time the proprietors of land were obliged.to
sell their crops to the Pacha, but since free trade has
been introduced the farmers can sell wherever and to
whomsoever they please ; moreover, Mehemet Ali has
distributed amongst his several sons and favourites a
great part of the land which was cultivated in'his
name. _ _ _

Mehemet Ali is still at Cairo, and such is the
favour the French Consul, M. Al Barrot, has gained
with his Highness, that the Viceroy seldom goes ,out
tor a drive in his carriage without being accompanied
by him or by Madame Barrot.
The Ariel steamer, with the London mail of the
7th, due here on the 19th, arrived only this morning,
owing to bad weather. She returns this afternoon to
Malta, with only six passengers from Bombay—viz.,
Lieutenant. Colonel Hartley, her Majesty's Bth Foot;
Lieutenant, Colonel Forbes, 78th Highlanders ; Dr. J.
Y. Smith, Bombay Army ; Mr. Price, Mr. M. G.
Manse], Mrs.Turquand and child. The steamer that was
conveying these persons down the Nile ran with great
force on to a sand-bank about 40 miles below Cairo.
and was got off only after 36 hours' strenuous exer-
tions. It was fortunate for these travellers that the
steamer from England was behind her time, otherwise
they would have lost their passage by her. The
Bombay mail of the Ist of December has been lying
here since the 19th.
A. beautiful Clyde steamer intended for the Nile,
_ the Marchioness of Breadalbane, arrived here yes-
terday from Malta and Candia, having been purchased
by the- Peninsular and Oriental Company for Me-
hemet Ali.

ABD -E -K ADE R.
The Moniteur Algerien, of the 29th ult., publishes
a long account of the surrender of Abel-Kader,
from which we extract the following :—" At six in
the evening the Emir arrived with Generals Latno-
riciere and Cavaignac and Lieutecant-Colonel de
Beaufort, and was introduced to the Duke d'Aumale.
Conforming himself to his present circumstances, he
humbly put off his sandals at the threshold, and
stood till the Prince made a sign to him to be
seated. After a moment's silence he delivered the
following words, which were interpreted by M.
Rousseau, the principal interpreter I would have
done sooner what I have now done, but I
have waited for the hour appointed by God.
The General has given me a promise upon which
I have relied. I have no fear of its being vio-
lated by the son of so great a king as the King of
the French. I ask his anian for my family and
fur myself.' His Royal Highness in a few simple
words, confirmed the promise of his lieutenant, and with
dignity took leave of Abd-el-Kader' towards whom
henceforth must be suppressed all the passions of the
early days of the late long struggle. Tents were
raised within the enclosure of the Hospital of Nemours
for Abd-O-Kader and his family, into which he and
they were conducted. In the morning there was a
last ceremony, which must have severely wounded his
pride. On the return of his Royal highness from
reviewing the cavalry, which was about to return to
the camp, the ex-Sultan came forth on horseback,
surrounded by his principal chiefs, and alighting at a
few steps from the Prince, said to him, I offer you
this horse, the last I have ridden, as a testimon of my
gratitude, ard I hope it will bring you good fortune.'
The Prince replied, I accept it as a homage rendered
to France, whose protection will henceforward be
your shield, and as a sign of oblivion of the past.'
The Emir then saluted the Prince with great dignity,
and returned on foot to his tent."

LOLA MANTES AGAIN !—A letter from Munich, in
the Patrie, but which appears to us very exaggerated,
says—" It appears that Lola Montes is increasing in
favour at the Court of Bavaria. The Queen has con-
ferred on her the order of St. Theresa, calls her " My
dear Countess,' and admits her into her intimacy. The
ladies of the Court, of course, feel it their duty to caress
the favourite, and in fact she has all the world at her
feet. The style of luxury in which she lives passes all
bounds. nothing equal to it having ever been seen at
Munich, even at the royal palaces. The whole of her
sleeping-chamber, even the walls and ceiling, is hung
with guipure lined with rose•colound satin. The man-
telpiece is of Sevres porcelain, painted by the first
artists. The furniture is of the time of Louis XV., en-
riched with gold and silver. A description of her
dining -room would exceed those in the Arabian Nights'
Entertainments,' and we .shall, content ourselves with
stating that the service is of massive gold,' bearing the
arms and coronet of the Countess. To this is joined a
revenue of 150,000 f., which is attached to her title, and
of whiCh nothing can deprive her." •

LAUNCH OF A STEAMSHIP AT BIRKENHEAD.---
On Saturday forenoon, a little before high tide time
(half-past eleven o'clock); a splendid new iron steamer,
the Cambria, was launched from the building-yard of
Mr. John Laird, of Birkenhead. The Cambria has
been built for Government, and is intended for the pas-
sage between Dublin and Holyhead. She is a sister
vessel to the St. Columba, launched from the same yard
a few months ago. The Cambria is of 700 tons builders'
measurement, 193 feet in length, 27 feet beam, with a
depth of hold nearly 15 feet. Her engines, which are to
be 370 horse-power, are to be fitted up Messrs. Forrester
and Co., the same firm who furnished the St. Columba.
