WILLS.

BIsHOr OF ST. ASAPII.—The will of the Right Rev.
William Carey, D.D., Bishop of the Welsh Diocese of
St. Asaph, was proved in the Prerogative Court of Can-
terbury, on the 21st ir.st. He has left the whole of his
property real and personal, to his widow, and appointed
her, together with the Venerable Archdeacon H. C.
Jones, the executors. It bears date the 29th of March,
1843. His personal estate was estimated at 40,0001.
The late Venerable and Learned Prelate died at the age
of 77. He entered upon holy orders in 1892, and was
male a Prebendary of Yark, and, in 1809, was installed
as Prebendary of Westminster. On the translation of
Dr. Pelham to the see of Lincoln, in 1820, Dr. Carey
woe consecrated Bishop of Exeter, the value of which
was 2,700/. ; and in 1830, on the death of Dr. Luxmore,
he was translated to St. Asaph, with an income of 5,300/.
The see at the present time remains vacant, the Bishop
of Bangor having declined accepting it, or uniting it
with that of Bangor.
MUNIFICENT BEQUESTS.—The parish authorities of
Lambeth have had left to them a clear sum of 1,5001.
by the late Mrs. Edridge of Kennington-place, the inte-
rest to be applied for the benefit and comfort of such
poor persons of that parish who are of the age of
sixty years and upwards. This benevolent lady has
also bequeathed a like sum of 1,500/. to each of the fol-
lowing valuable institutions in that quarter, viz.—
The School for the Indigent Blind, near the Obelisk ;
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Old Kent-road ; and
Bedlam Hospital, Lambeth-road. The legacies to be
paid free of duty. She is stated to have died possessed
of personal and funded property amounting to 35,0001.,
and it is probable would have extended her munificence
to other charitable objects, as her will was not com-
pleted to the full extent of her testamentary intentions;
for, although it was properly executed, she had left open
the disposal of the residue to be made by her at some
future period by a separate document, but which she
never put in force.

CAPTURE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Monday week
information was received by the Brighton police :that
two men, who had absconded from Liverpool, and were
charge with fraud, had arrived in Brighton, and were
about to sail by the Fame packet for Dieppe ; but the
police having no certain information of the men, and no
particulars of the charge, suffered them to depart by the
steamer which left the harbour on Tuesday morning.
The packet had got half way over, and the men, no
doubt, congratulated themselves on having effected their
escape, when some accident occurred to the machinery,
and the weather being exceedingly boisterous, the cap-
tain determined on returning to England. On learning
this fact, Mr. Chase, the chief officer of police, directed
Superintendent White to proceed to Kingston and watch
the men as they came ashore, so as to know where to
find them if necessary. White proceeded to Kingston
accordingly, and about three o'clock the packet came
iato harbour. The passengers were forwarded to Brighton
by an omnibus, and White, who was in plain clothes,
placed himself in the vehicle near the two men in ques-
tion, and came with them to Brighton. On the way he
took occasion to recommend them to a public-house, and
on their arrival here kindly showed them to the Jolly
Fisherman. On Wednesday, Mr. Searle, of the firm of
Reeve and Searle, solicitors, of Liverpool, accompanied
by an officer, arrived, with a warrant signed by Mr.
Commissioner Perry of the Bankruptcy Court, for the
apprehension of James Maw and William Chapman, the
names of the parties in question. White accompanied
his breeher officer to the Jolly Fisherman, and there
found the two men, who were forthwith lodged in the
Town Hall for the night, and on Thursday White pro-
ceeded with them to Liverpool.--Brighton Guardian.
WRECK OF LORD MOUNTCASHEL'S YACHT
WANDERING SPIRIT.—On Saturday evening the beau-
tiful
yacht, Wandering Spirit, lately built by Mr.
Wheeler for the Earl of Mountcashel, as a present for
his son, Lord Kilworth, was wrecked off Kinsale har-
bour. She had sailed from the Cove of Cork
on Saturday, for Kinsale, having the Countess
Mountcashel and the Ladies Moore on board,
who were about spending some days in the
latter town. The yacht made a very pleasant trip, the
day being remarkably fine, and arrived off Kinsale har-
bour at about five o'clock in the evening ; but on
rounding the Hangman's point, a headland stretching
out at the mouth of the harbour, the captain inquired
of the pilot, whether he was giving the point room
enough. The pilot replied that the yacht was then in
10 fathoms water. The captain immediately took the lead,
and was in the act of heaving it, when the yacht struck on
a reef of rocks. Such was the force with which the vessel
struck, in consequence of the great headway she was
making, that she was raised fully a couple of feet from
her water line. The boats were immediately lowered,
and Lady Mountcashel and family were safely conveyed
to land. Shortly after, in spite of all the efforts of cap-
tain and crew, the yacht filled in and rolled on her
beam ends, in which position she now lies in deep water.
On Sunday morning, Sir 11. Pigot, Rear-Admiral, hav-
ing received intelligence of the disaster, sent the Myruri-
don steamer, with a number of ship carpenters, to the
scene of the wia ck. It is thought that the Wandering
Spirit will be totally lost. She is a beautiful schooner
yacht of 140 tons, built by Mr. J. Wheeler, of this city,
and is valued at over 3,0001. Mr. Wheeler hastened to
Kinsale, yesterday, on receiving account of the wreck.—

A parochial clergyman, who anticipates much
distress amongst the labouring poor, mechanics, and
peasantry, during the approaching winter, and early
spring, from the failure of the potato crop—begs leave
to suggest, to such:of the more opulent classes as can
feel for the wants of their poor " brethren in the flesh,"
the liberal distribution of Patna rice amongst them ; to•
gether with copies of the following receipts for dressing
it, in productive and palatable ways. 1. Put 11b of
good rice into five pints of cold water, and as soon as
they shall boil, set the saucepan where the water and
rice shall simmer, gently, for one hour ; then add two
pints of milk ; stir the whole, and let it simmer another
hour ; when done, stir in 4lb. of treacle, and serve it up.
Where milk cannot be procured, water may be used,
instead of milk—and to make a change, the rice may be
flavoured with onion and salt, instead of treacle. 2. If
rice be preferred in a drier state, it may be thus pre-
pared :—Boil llb of rice in four quarts of water, until it
be quite tender—then pour off the water, and cover the
saucepan for the rice to steam, and serve it up. Either
of the above receipts will furnish a palatable meal for
four or six persons, according to age.—Sherborne
Journal.
AN INFANT POISONED BY ITS NURSE.—On Monday
last, an inquest was held at Codnor Park, in this county'
before Mr. Whiston, jun., coroner, ou the body of Sarah
Wardle, a child aged four months, whose death took
place on Saturday morning last, from the effects of
laudanum administered the day before by her nurse
girl, a child named Elizabeth Parker, aged twelve years.
From the evidence which was taken before the jury, it
appeared that the nurse girl had sent another girl for a
pennyworth of laudanum on Friday morning, and that
she had poured half of it down the child's throat ; and
in about half an hour afterwards she took it home, and
the mother of the child asked the nurse whether she had
given the child anything, to which she replied she had
only given it two teaspoons full of ale at the brewhouse
of Mr. Whysall. The child appearing to get much worse
medical aid was sent for, and on arriving at the house
where the child was lying, after making . several
inquiries, the nurse girl again repeated having given the
child some ale, but denied having given it anything
else, until after the child's death, when she admitted
having sent a child for some laudanum in a small bottle,?
and having poured part of the contents down the child
throat, and also having washed off the label from the
bottle which contained he word poison upon it. The
child also told one of the witnesses, who was examined,
that a companion of her's, who was a nurse-maid, had
bought a pennyworth of laudanum and had given the
same to the child she was nursing over night, and that
it was dead the next morning. The ' jury, after con-
sulting a short time, returned a verdict of " Wilful
murder" against Elizabeth Parker, as it appeared from
the evidence of the medical gentleman that the death was
occasioned from laudanum ; whereupon the coronor is-
sued his warrant for the committal of the nurse-girl for
trial at the next assizes,—.Derby Reporter.
