Mr. Peabody's will was the subject of an appli-
cation to the Court of Probate last Tuesday. It arose out
of the provision which directed the English executors to
pay to the English legatees their legacies and the residue
to the American executors, which brought the American
will within the purview, as it were, of the English- law.
The Court, incompliance with the wish of the English
executors, decided that probate might bo issued without
the American dccument being incorporated with the Eng-
lish will. The Legislature of Maine have sent a delega-
tion to the mortuary ceremonies to be held at Boston. The
monitors .Miantonomah and Terror, and the ironclad cor-
vette Alka, will act as guard of honour to the funeral
fleet. Tas
he Plymouth and other steam frigates will follow
in line.

THE GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION AT
BRYNMAWR.

The more startling accounts of the Brynn:iawr gunpow-
der explosion turn out to be incorrect. Not six, but only
two lives (as was stated in the soberer report) were lost
by the accident. The young man who caused it, and a
little girl who was in the street at the time, are the vic-
tims. The loss of property seems to have been under-
estimated, however. Three chapels are laid in
ruins. Dwelling-houses are tottering ; and shop windows
have been blasted so that they have to be closed. Thou-
sands of pounds worth of property are thus destroyed.
The cause of the accident was also in one particular mis-
stated. The lad whose carelessness blew up the
powder• did not take a lighted candle inio the gun-
powder store. He was about to do so, but was
warned. It was supposed that he did what was as bad, if
not worse. He struck a match in the store, and some
spark must have touched the powder, and thus exploded
it. The inhabitants of the town were desperately
frightened. The explosion was heard eight miles off.
