/ Castle, Bedf.esishire, had made her will as far back as
the year 1803, and lived to the age of eighty-three, with-
out having altered the same, saving a few legacies and
directions by codicils. With this exception she leaves
the whole of her property to her sister the Right lion.
Lady Margaret Walpole and her children, subject to her
direction and appointment, and to whom the administra-
tion of her selects were ()Tented. The executors ap-
pointed in the will being her brothers, the Right Hon.

Honourable Henrietta, Dowager Countess of Scarbo-
rough, by her will, executed in June, 1837, has left to

subject to the payment of any legacies which might be

ship made several codicils, being lists of legacies ; these
were written consecutively on one sheet of letter paper,
commencing with the date 19th of August, 1837, and
each signed by her ; most of the bequests therein stated,
amounting altogether to 17,000/., her Ladyship appears
to have afterwards paid to the parties at various periods
during her lifetime, and has erased their names, placing
opposite to each the word " paid," and the date. Her
Ladyship had also made a further codicil in May, 1844,
and attached her signature, in which there are eight
legacies of 1,000/. each, and four of 500/. each, but these
intended bequests, amounting to 10,000/., are invalidated
for want of attesting witnesses.

DEATH BY FLY WATER.—CAUTION TO MOTHERS.—
An inquest was held yesterday, at the Angel Inn, West Ilam,
Essex, on the body of an infant child named Sophia Louisa
Barfoot, daughter of Mr. G. Barfoot, the relieving officer. It"
appeared in evidence that being much annoyed by flies, Mrs.
Barfoot was supplied with a portion of what is called fly-
water by a female friend, and not being aware of its delete-
rious qualities placed a small quantity upon the window
sill in a pomatum pot. The stuff was purchased at a grocer's
shep in the neighbourhood, and bore the label of an Italian
warehouseman in Tavistock-street, Covent •garden. On Fri-
day last, whilst the window was being cleaned, the pomatum
pot was laid upon a chair in the parlour, and the deceased,
who was eating some bread at the time, dipped it frequently
into the liquid, winch contained a good deal of saccharine
matter. The poor little thing soon sickened, and falling into
convulsions died in twelve hours, notwithstanding the most
prompt medical attendance. A verdict was returned in ac-
cordance with the evidence, but the coroner, Mr. Lewis, as
well as the jury, very warmly cenaured the practice of vend-
ing such deleterious articles, without aome label descriptive
of their valcil9lls prqertie§%

FORTIFICATIONS AT GOSPORII.
The new works at the Blockhouse Fort, on the Gosport,
side of the harbour, are rapidly progressing towards comple-
tion, and will be of a very formidable description. On the
side facing the sea is a double tier battery for 26 eight-inch
guns, fourteen of which are already mounted, commanding
the anchorage of Spithead ; while that part of the fort which
is parallel to the harbour is well defended by a strong
tower and numerous loopholes for musketry. The num-
ber of guns will be, in all, about fifty-six, very few of
which will be less than thirty-two pounders, and the
greater part of still larger calibre. Commodious bar-
racks for five officers and a hundred men are in the
course of construction. All the new buildings within this
fort are bomb proof. At Priddy's Hard, on the same side
of the harbour, the powder magazine and ordnance station,
hitherto almost unprotected, are undergoing such extensive
alterations as will render them an extremely strong posi-
tion. The lines round Gosport, Portsea ,and Portsmouth,
which have been for some years nearly disarmed, and in many
places suffered to fall into decay, are being repaired and put
into a state to receive a very large and powerful equipment
of ordnance. A new and beautiful battery for six guns, in
the ravelin of the Spur Gate, is already finished. It is pro-
vided with magazines, storehouses, and all the other re•
quisites, and is most perfect in its arrangements.
Southsea Castle. now used as the military prison of the
district, is mounted with thirty-two guns, thirty-twos and
twenty-fours, and we hear that it is intended further to in-
crease the artillery of this important post.
Alterations on a very large scale are in contemplation for
the works at the entrance of the harbour on the Portsmouth
side. According to the projected plan, a double tier battery
will occupy the space of the present saluting battery, from
which seventy guns, by crossing their fire I\,ith those of the
Block House Fort opposite, will render it perfectly impos-
sible for any vessel to force its way into the port.
The following will, we believe, be found a correct list of
the guns intended for the defence of Port: mouth and the
harbour:—

Two 50 pounders of 97 cwt. ; 17 eight-inch guns 0f65 cwt.;
15 eight-inch guns of 50 cwt.; 60 thirty-two pounders of 56
cwt. ; 38 twenty-four pounders of 50 cwt. ; 36 eight-inch
howitzers; and 76 twenty-four pounders of 20 cwt.
Making 244 guns in addition to the present armament.

INDIAN CURE FOR ASIATIC
CHOLERA.
A letter from Major Wallace, of the 46th Regiment of
Native Infantry, addressed to the editor of the Madras
Spectator, gives an account of many individuals (attacked
by this dreadful disease) rescued from the very jaws of death,
and when utterly given over, by administering the following
recipes, from the year 1818. For a full-grown, robust man
or woman, one teaspoonful of red pepper, one teaspoonful of
black pepper, two teaspoonfuls of strong decoction made of
cloves, cinnamon, and cardamoms. The above to be put
into a large-sized claret glass, to which add sixty drops of
laudanum, and then fill the glass three-fourths up with
brandy or arrack, and then fill up the glass to the top with
boiling-hot water, to which add some grated nutmeg. The
above dose to be divided into two equal parts, one to be
given, and, if retained, which generally it will be, no more
need be given ;if rejected, the rest to be given. Should this
likewise be,vomited, a second dose to be similarly prepared
and administered. Hot bricks to be applied to the chest,
stomach, arms, legs, and feet, and the patient to be kept as
warm as possible. The following morning a dose of castor
oil to be given.
To a person between twelve and twenty years of age, two.
thirds of the pepper, laudanum, and spirits to be given, but
the same quantity of the decoction, the glass filled up with
hot water.
To children between three and twelve years of age, one-
third or one- fourth, according to the age of the child, of the
peppers, laudanum, and spirits, with one teaspoonful of the
decoction, the glass, as before, to be filled with hot water;
this last to be divided into three equal parts, and adminis-
tered as directed for the others.
Each dose when given to be as hot as the patient can
drink it, without pain or inconvenience.
After the dose, if retained, the patient will complain of
excessive thirst and a burning sensation in the intestines.
This is almost a certain indication of recovery; but nothing
whatever should be given either to allay the one or palliate
the other, till about four or five hours after the castor-oil has
discontinued operating, when mullagatawnv, made strong
with pepper and chillies, with some well .boile'd rice, should
be given, and this food continued for three or four days after
recovery: _ _

To a European, young and robust, the whole wine-glass to
be given at one dose, if he is very bad with cholera. If the
spices cannot be procured, a Strong decoction of ginger will
answer the purpose.—Literary Gazette.

CHARGE OF INFANTICIDE.—,ALLEGED RAPE.—Yester-
day an inquest, which was adjourned from Friday last, was
resumed and concluded by Mr. William Baker, Deputy
Coroner, at the Black Horse, in the Kingsland-road, on view
of the body of a newly born female infant, the offspring of
Mary Fisher, a single woman, which was found in the soil of
a water-closet by Policeman Coles, G 126, at No. 4, Great
Leonard-street, Shoreditch, where she was living; the parti-
culars of the first inquiry in reference to which have al-
ready been given. The inquiry was adjourned for a
post itiortun examination, which was made by Mr. John Hall,
surgeon, Paul-street, and Mr. H. Davis, surgeon, Worship-
square, who were of opinion, from the lungs floating in water,
and other appearances, that the deceased had breathed.
There were no external marks of violence. The mother of
deceased said, that she was assaulted some months ago,
against her wish, by a man, a stranger to her, who led her
among some ruins, where he effected his purpose while she
was in a state of insensibility, and that on her recovery she
found her shawl in her mouth, and her dress was torn.
Verdict, "That the deceased child was found immersed irt
the soil, but by what means it became so immersed, whether
by accident or design, there was not sufficient evidence to tba
jury.,,

- SUICIDE OF ONE OF THE PARISH SURGEONS AT
Blum'ToN.—On Monday morning Mr. Thomas Baldey, pa-
rish surgeon at Brighton, not making his appearance at the
usual hour, his servant became alarmed, and on knocking at
the door she received no answer. She then informed the
inmates with whom he lodged, who sent for the chief officer
of police. The officer broke open the door and found Mr.
Baldey lying in bed quite dead, with a small phial and a
glass standing on the drawers at his bedside. On examin-
ing the contents of the glass it was found to contain prussic
acid. A coroner's inquest was held on the body in the even-
ing, N‘hen it was proved that deceased had purchased an
ounce of prussic acid at a chemist's, and it is supposed that
be took the whole. Deceased had been unwell for some time,
and in an apparently low state of mind. The jury returned
a verdict of " Temporary insanity." Deceased had been a
parish surgeon several years.
VISIT TO THE PEOPLE'S FAnx.—On Monday, a
monster procession of vans and other. vehicles, containing
passengers, took place from the metropolis to a districtealled
Herringsgate Farm' near Rickmansworth, in Hertfordshire,
which has become by purchase the property of the Chartist
Co-operative Land Society. The object of this society is
the location, on small farms, of the members selected by
ballot, and who are also furnished with the pecuniary means
for putting the same into cultivation. The company were
chiefly conveyed in vans, of which 175 were engaged, which.
lett Oxford-street at seven o'clock in the morning, attended
by bands of music, banners, &c., accompanied by every de-
scription of vehicle, the procession extending to more than
a mile in length, and proceeding in more or less order to the
destination. The number congregated on the spot, includ-
ing persons from the vicinity, and those who bad arrived by
train from London, could not have been less than 6,000. A
great many marquees and shows were on the ground, which
had the appearances of a very lively country fair. After an
inspection of the houses, school-room, &c., a public meeting
was held near a temporary hustings, which was addressed
by Mr. Feargus O'Connor, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Smallwood, and
several other friends of the cause. The arrangements, which
were under the superintendence of the county rural polices
were conducted with great order. The amusements were
kept up till a late hour, and it was long after midnight
before the majority returned to town.
GRAVESEND REGATTA.—There will be a regatta at
Gravesend on the 26th instant, in honour of Prince Albert's
birthday, when several valuable prizes will be contended for.
FOOT RACE AT THE BEE-HIVE GROUND, WALWORTE.
—The match between Piddington and Mathews, to run two
miles for 20L, was won by the former, after a good race, on
Monday.

RELIC OF AN EXTINCT RACE.—A St. Vincent's
journal notices a curious relic found on a neighbourhood islet
—"A Curiosity.—An article deserving this name was found
last week in a cave on the small island of Batawia, and is
now in the possession of George Cropper, Esq. It was in-
tended, as it appears to us, for a child's couch, and is cut out
of a solid piece of wood, either cedar or mahogany, the
length 2 feet 3 inches, breadth 10 inches, height about 15
inches. It is so contrived that when not used as a couch, it
can be placed upright on the hind legs, when it preseits the
face of a man elaborately carved and standing out in bold
relief with the arms resting on the breast. Some suppose it
to be the work of the Charaibs who were sent over to Ba-
tawia after their insurrection, but the character of the face
is decidedly not Charaib, having the appearance
is ofa mu4muchelder antiquity than the insurrection of 17 5 0 tofahne E
r
osities may likely be found in the same cave upon
o
e
lo-
ration, and which may lead
ftovsaosnti something decisive as s
ntoottraer*
origin. The cave itself .
peaer to have been visited for a long period."
SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE ATMOSPHERIC RitzuwAy.
—On Monday, the following serious accident o:;curred on
the line of the Atmospheric Railway to a num named John
Hawkins, aged twenty-three years, residing at Sydenham -
-It
appears that the unfortunate man was employed at the
Dartmouth Arms' station, and while engaged on the plat-
form some portion of the machinery car -LILA the sleeve of his
frock, which drew his right arm in hfAween the works, and
before he could be released the limb was most fearfully lace-
rated in several places. He was seen by a surgeon, and sub-
sequently placed in one of the carriages and removed to the
accident ward of Guy's Hospital, where he was immediately
put under the care of Mr. Norris, the house-surgeon. He is
progressing very favourably.
TUE STATE OP EUROPE.—England has had great men
as Ministers—Pitt, Fox, Canning Grey, &c. ; but we doubt
whether either retired from the public service with a reputa-
tion which Sir Robert Peel will carry with him. It is true
there have been constant wars, continental alliances, and
serious troubles which demanded great prudence and ability,
but Sir Robert Peel has grappled with and overthrown, in
the corn-laws, the great monopoly of the rich landholders
who hitherto have ruled the nation, and having accomplished
it, together with a revision of the tariff, and established re-
forms commensurate with the times, he surrenders the seal
of office and retires to private life, unquestionably the great
man of the age. The new Whig Ministry will no doubt get
on smoothly, inasmuch as nearly all irritating questions are
in a measure subsided. The query now is, what will France
do? Guizot, under the Peel Ministry, could draw together
the cords of a friendly alliance. Lord Palmerston and Lord
J. Russell are no great admirers of French policy, and
will not follow in the wake of M. Guizot. The query now
in, will there not be a corresponding change of Ministry in
France ? Louis Philippe has but one object in view, peace
with England and the support of that Cabinet for his dynasty
when he dies, to secure which he will be compelled to chang.et
his men and his policy as England changes. One thing 131
certain, the present Ministry will not be induced to carry out
and recognise any entangling alliances with France, What•
ever may be their objects.—New York Sun.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT A TURPENTINE STILL.—An
inquest was held yesterday at St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
before Mr. Joseph Payne, on the body of William Lloyd,
aged 30. George Osborne said that the deceased was a glove
cleaner, and was employed with witness at No. 108,Hig:s-
street, Holton. On the 25th of last month the deceased was
standing upon a still used for rectifying turpentine, when
some means, which could not correctly be accounted for, the
spirit caught fire, and in trying to extinguish it his clothes
were in flames. He escaped from the building, and the fire
was quenched, but by that time he had received many sewers
burns. Ile was taken to the hospital, and died there, on Sun-
' day last. Verdict, "Accidental Death."
110BRERY.—Yesterday information was forwarded to
the police of a daring shop robbery at Mr. Wyatt's, 26,
Ebury-street, Pimlico, a watchmaker, the shop being plan"'
dered of a number of valuable gold and silver watches, during
the momentary absence of the attendant, with which the
thieves got clear 911.
