power of appointing a successor to his late cousin's
estates, which he does in the person of his brother,
Edward Leigh Pemberton, and whom he also
appoints residuary legatee of his own estates. There -
are liberal annuities to his relatives, and numerous
legacies to his personal friends. To Lord Cran-
worth, Lord Cairns, Sir Laurence Peel, Mr. Ser-
geant Goulbourn, and Henry Reeve, he leaves •each
a legacy of £.too free of duty. He begs Earl Stan-
hope to accept 1000 guineas in acknowledgment of
the many and great kindnesses shown to him for a
long series of years. To each of his trustees,

are two codicils, 1864-5 ; and the testator
died October 4, 1867, at the age of seventy-seven.
There is one very particular clause in his will—That
the balance of any money that should be found in a
certain account kept by him, and which he had
marked and designated a " charity-box," should be
applied by his wife to charitable and religious ob-
jects and purposes as she might think fit ; but he
would not make it imperative or compulsory for her
to do so. He leaves to his servants £1 for every year
they have been in his service. To his wife he leaves an
annuity of X4OO, and an immediate legacy of.£1000;
and the residue of his property he divides equally
amongst all his children.

tions.

GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

The adjourned special general meeting of the
proprietors in this company was held yesterday
at the London Tavern for the purpose of considering
the advisability of reconstructing the present board
of directors. At the last meeting a committee was
appointed, who have since reported that in their
opinion the names of four directors should be struck
off the list, namely, Mr. Goodson, M.P., Major
Jervis, M.P., Mr. G. Josselyn, and Mr. G. Palmer.
In acknowledging the report the four gentlemen in-
timated that in the event of such a resolution being
carried they should decline to acknowledge its
legality until confirmed by a court of law.

Mr. S. H. PARKES, after commenting on past
circumstances, moved a resolution reducing the
number of directors to eleven, mentioning the
names of eleven of those now on the board, and ex
cluding the four gentlemen above named—Mr.
Palmer only being mentioned as one of the Northern
and Eastern directors, who might substitute an y
other name.
Mr. BRISTOW seconded the motion.

The meeting was addressed by Mr. Christie,
Sergeant Spinkis, Mr. Burke, Q.C., and other,
gentlemen, the discussion being of a very mis-
cellaneous character.

At length the resolution was carried with but two
dissentients, and a resolution continuing the coin-
nuttee was adopted.

Her Majesty's screw troopships Serapis, Captain
Soady, and Crocodile, Capt. Watson, arrived at
Spithead at 10.30 a.m yesterday from the Mediter-

and berthed alongside the dockyard, where they
will disembark their troops this morning. The

to Alexandria, with the 4th Hussars, two batteries
batteries of the sth brigade Royal Artillery, and
draughts from various regiments.
The War Department vessel Raglan, Mr. Wilkins
