Powell Higginson, colonel of the 94th Foot, of
Wilton-crescent, Belgrave-square, was proved in London
on the sth ult., by his son, Mr. George Wentworth Alex-
ander Higginson, the acting executor, power being reserved
to his relict, the Right Hon. Lady Frances Elizabeth Hig-
ginson, daughter of the first Earl of Kilmorey. The gallant
general had greatly distinguished himself in several engage-
ments, and was for many years a staff officer, and attained
to the age of 78, and died April 19, 1866, at Cannes, in
France. His will is dated August 27, 1862, and a codicil
on the 9th of October following. He bequeaths to his
relict, Lady Frances, his plate, furniture, and effects at
his residence, Wilton-crescent, and a life interest in the
bulk of his property ; and leaves her ladyship the residue
of his property absolutely ; and, upon her decease, be-
queaths all his shares in the Sun Fire and Life Offices to
his daughter Frances ; and also, on the decease of her
ladyship, leaves to each of his two daughters £lO,OOO. He
devises his estate and residence, The Crofts, at Great

son, but charged with the payment of an annuity of £2OO
during the life of Lady Frances. The will of Sir Brook
Kay, Bart., late of Belvedere, Erith, formerly of Dovvr,

YOUNG WOMEN DROWNED.- —A sad accident
happened
on Wednesday evening a short distance
from Maple, Cornwall, to two young women, respectively
named Elizabeth Harry and Ilartha Luke, both of whom
were respectably connected, and lived at St. Ives. It
appears that, in company with some half-a-dozen others,
they proceeded in a four-oared gig on an excursion ou the
water. A stiff wind got up, and the boat became un-
manageable and capsized at the entrance of Hayle har-
bour. There was a fearful stuggle for life, and noble and
daring efforts were made to save the whole of the party.
The two young women, however,
whose names have been
mentioned, polished, and a third was rescued insensible.
The men escaped.
The Earl and Countess of Wilton will leave town
shortly for Cowes, Isle of Wight, and after the Royal
Yacht Squadron Regatta the noble earl and countess go to
Scotland for the shooting season.
