MR. DISRAELI'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.

-----4---

The Chancellor of the Exchequer left London at
10 o'clock on Saturday morning by the London and
North-Western Railway, and reached the Gore-
bridge-station of the North British Railway, travel-
ling by the Waverley route from Carlisle, at half-
past nine in the evening. The right hon. gentleman,
who was accompanied by Mrs. Disraeli and his
private secretary, Mr. Corry, occupied a saloon car-
riage, which was detached from the express train at
Gorebridge, where that train does not usually stop,
and he was received by Mr. Dundas, of Arniston,
whose guest he will be during his Edinburgh visit.
At Galashiels station, where the train generally
waits for a few minutes, Me. Disraeli's arrival was
eagerly waited for by a score or two of persons,
among whom the news of his coming by the evening
express had spread ; and when the train arrived at-
tempts were made by a few of those present to get a
glimpse of the distinguished traveller through the
window of the carriage, which was at first closed.
On noticing this, Mr. Disraeli lowered the window,
and leaning forward out of the carriage inquired of
the bystanders if he was then at Galashiels, to
which amid general cheering an affirmative answer
was of course returned. After contemplating the
crowd for a few seconds, Mr. Disraeli called out, in
a somewhat loud voice, " Do you wish to be an-
nexed to the Haddington Burghs, or would you like
to remain in the county ?" "The county," was the
somewhat ungracious though general shout in reply,
and, amid considerable cheering, Mr. Disraeli with-
drew, apparently in no way discomfited. Our Car-
lisle correspondent writes that at the station, where
the right hon. gentleman was detained about a quar-
ter of an hour, he was heartily cheered.--Scotsman•

nephews, Count Louis Charles Greffulke and Count

testator died in Paris, in April last, having executed
his will there, in 1864, and added three codicils
dated 1864-65. Tho will is translated from the
French language, and commences with these re-
markable words :—" I do not wish to be buried,
but that my body be embalmed and placed in a
coffin, the lid of which shall be glazed and not
nailed down, so that the body be not deprived of
air and daylight, and ultimately burned, if the law
will permit." He directs his executors to lay out in
charitable and pious purposes 4,000,0000 f., in such
manner as they may think proper. He bequeaths
to the four brothers, Edward, Frederick, Charles,
and Alfred Sartoris, now in England, 100,000 f.
each. To Madame Alexander de Girandi, an alms
of 100,000 f. for her hospital at Chattilla ; and there
