are to be worked as bow chaser Allahe rOtsills
of the main battery will be, when the vessel is fully
stored, no less than 10ft. clear from the water.
This is lft. higher than the portsills of the Warrior,
and no less than Gft. 4in. higher than those of La
Gloire. All the portholes are made on the im-
proved principle which is almost peculiar to the
ironclads, and are very narrow. She is, however,
only intended to carry 22 guns on the main deck,
of which four are to be 300-pounders, and 18 nine-
ton 150-pounders. On the spar-deck will be four
Armstrong 100-pounder shell guns.
Like the rest of her class, the Northumberland
is provided with a deck tower, as strong as teak and
iron armour can make it. This tower is unusually
high in the Northumberland, and is divided into two
stories, the lower to be occupied by riflemen only,
while the upper storey is to be used by those in
command of the ship, and from which also the vessel
can be steered in action. A great addition has been
made to the ship, since she was first laid down, in
the shape of a poop and topgallant forecastle. The
poop gives ample space and accommodation for the
cabins necessary for an admiral and staff, thus

fitting the vessel for a flagship, which the arrange-
ments of the earlier iron-clads did not admit of. At
the time that the Warrior made her trial trips it
was pointed out in The Sun that it was little less
than absurd to give these enormous vessels—double
the length of any line-of-battle ships in the service
—only a frigate's crew, and only the traditional
three masts. The experience gained by working the
Warrior has shown that these remarks were just,
and the Minotaurs are now each to have crews
of 750 men, and five instead of three masts. All
these masts are of iron, and of nearly the same
height, which certainly detracts somewhat from the
beauty of the vessel's " sit" upon the water. Four
of the masts are square-rigged, the afterznost mizzen
having fore-and-aft sails only.

Every part of the ship which has been executed
by the Dlillwall Company is really the very perfec-
tion of iron workmanship. As an iron structure it
is impossible to imagine anything more perfect tha'4
her finish. Strange to say, she is to be launched
to-day with almost all her iron plates fixed to her,
and, in:fact, with the exception of rigging and en-
gines, almost ready for sea. Internally and on deck
she has in her fittings an the beautiful finish of a.
private yacht. The perfection with which her ar-
mour-plates are fitted on makes her seem as smooth
as if they were varnished. All that skilled work-
manship can do has been done for her, and we feel
sure she will prove a credit and an ornament to our
iron navy.

RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

(From the Illustrated London News)

The will of the Countess Dowager of Dundonald,
relect of the late Right Hon. Thos. Cochrane, Earl
of Dundonald, G.C.8., an admiral in her Majesty's
navy, was proved in the London Court, on the 9th
ult., by Sir Charles Locock, Bart., M.D., Physi-
cian to the Queen, the sole executor. The will
bears date June 30, 1862. The witnesses are A. S.
Robinson, Commander R.N., and I. P. Hamilton,
11.8. M. Consul at Boulogne-sur-Mer, where her
ladyship died on the 25th of Jan., 1865. The will
is very brief, and in words to this effect :—" Being
desirous, in compliance with the wishes of my late
husband, to discharge, so far as lies in my power, a
debt of honour incurred many years since, and
knowing that ample provision was made for all our
children by their late father, I do hereby give, de-
vise, and bequeath unto Sir C. Locock, Bart., all
the property, of whatsoever description of which I
may die possessed, or may be entitled to, for his
own absolute use.—Signed, Katherine Corbett,
Countess Dowager of Dundonald." The will of
the Right Hon. Henry, Viscount Clifden, of Dover
House, Whitehall, and Gowran Castle, in Ireland,
died in 1861, and a codicil thereto, have been
proved in England and Ireland by Lord Bagot and
the Hon. Anthony John Ashley, the surviving
executors ; personalty being sworn under £70,000.
To his widow, Viscountess Clifden, is bequeathed
a legacy of £3,000, in addition to her jointure of
! £4,000 a year; and his only daughter, now in
her fourth year, takes £30,000 ; the whole of the
extensive estates of the late viscount and his re-
siduary personal estate being left in trust for his
only son, the present viscount, now in his third
year. By the codicil £1,500 is directed to be
expended in the restoration of Holdenby Church
in Northampton ; and such gratuities as his
executors may think right are given to his old
servants and those in the service of his mother, the
late Lady Dover, at her death. To each of his exe-
cutors is given a legacy of £5OO. The will of Sir
Charles Robert Tempest, Bart., of Broughton Hall,
Skipton, Yorkshire, was proved in London, on Feb.
9, by the Right Hon. Thomas, Lord Camoys, and
Mr. James Henry Fleming, Q.C. The personalty
was sworn under £45,000. The will is dated March
25, 1863 ; and Sir Charles died on Dec. 8, 1865, at
the age of 71. He has devised to his nephew,
Charles Henry Tempest, eldest son of his late
brother, Henry Tempest, all his estates in the coun-
ties of York, Lincoln, Lancaster, and elsewhere,
r and to his issue ; the furniture, plate, articles of
virtu, &c., at his mansion, Broughton Hall, to be
held as heirlooms with the estates. There are annui-
ties to his (testator's) brothers ; and Sir Charles
has made a provision for his other nephews and his
nieces ; and has left legacies to his servants, to be
paid free of duty, as well as all charitable bequests.
To Stoneyhurst College he leaves £5O, and au an-
nual sum of £65 for the maintenance, clothing, and
education of two students ; and legacies are left to
several other like colleges. To the poor Catholics
of Skipton, £3O ; of Broughton, 19gs. ; of Gargravo
and Coulton, £lO ; and many other like bequests
for the benefit of the poor belonging to the Roman
Catholic faith. It was Sir Charles's wish and desire
that his body should be borne to the vault by 16
workmen longest in his employ, each to receive £l.
To each clergyman attending his funeral, £2. To
every Roman Catholic bishop in England, Wales,
or Scotland, £25. To his chaplain, the Rev. A.
Barrow, he has left a legacy of £250. The will of
Major-General Francis Westenra was proved in
London, on the 3d inst., by his cousin, General
Sir Charles Yorke, G.C.8., the surviving exe-
cutor. The personally was sworn under £30,000.
The will is dated June 14, 1854, and two codi-
cils, 1860-1. The gallant general died at his resi-
dence, Savile-row, on Jan. 3. He leaves his real
and personal estate in England between his nieces,
Catherine and Harriet O'Toole, subject to the pay-
mentis
