The Royal Mail Company's steamer Seine, with
the above mails, has arrived. She brings 107
passengers, $2,408,132 i❑ specie, 2,308 packages,

The Barracouta had gone to assist in getting her
off. The new captain-general of Havant had ar-
rived here in a Spanish frigate.
Fine rains at Jamaica were producing good
effects on the crops. Coffee picking was expected
to commence by the end of the year. Business was
dull, and the Legislative Council continued its
sittings under his Excellency Sir P. Grant.
The proceedings in Council were remarkable
for their simplicity, and the rapidity with which
public business is harmoniously accomplished in a
few hours' sitting which formerly occupied a month.
Much rain had fallen at Antigua. The weather
was fine at Barbadoes. At Demerara freights were
declining, business was dull, and weather good. At
Guadelope the crops were promising, and the island

WILL OF THE LATE LORD JUSTICE BRUCE.—The
will, with three codicils, of the Right Hon. Sir Jas.
Lewis Knight Bruce, of Iloehampton Priory, Surrey, late
Lord Justice of the Court of Appeal, has been proved in
her Majesty's Court of Probate, by his son, Mr. Lewis
Bruce Knight Bruce, of Sunbury-on-Thames, the only
acting executor. The will, which is written on a foolscap
sheet of paper, is all in the handwriting of the late Lord
Privy Council, Whitehall',
1861, and witnessed by
HenryJusti ce,Reeve
(iRs

s datedtra
rJyoufl
and C. It Rothery (Registrar of the Admiralty Court).
th2e2P,
After leaving certain legacies to his servants and several
officers of the Court of Chancery, his lordship bequeaths
all his freehold, copyhold, and leasehold estates, and
the residue of all his personal estate whatsoever,
to his wife for her life, and after her death (she died in
August last), to his son, Lewis Knight Bruce, absolutely ;
and his reason for not making any further provision by
will for his daughter and his grandson, J. W. K. Bruce, is
declared to be that he had provided for them by a certain
settlement made in the year 1859. By the codicil, dated
July 22, 1861, he revokes that portion of his will relating
to his household furniture, plate, &c., and gives that sum
to his son, Lewis Knight Bruce. Ho appoints his son
Lewis Knight Bruce, his son-in-law Mr. P. S. D. Tyssen,
to whom he leaves a legacy of £2OO, and his grandson J.
W. K. Bruce, executors to his will. The will is sworn
under £15,000. In 1859 the Lord Justice Bruce had exe-
cuted a deed of trust appointing Vice-t Ihancellor Sir W.
P. Wood, Sir Bounden Palmer, the Eight Hon. 11. A.
Bruce, M.P., and Mr. Clement Swanston, of Lincoln,
trustees in favour of his grandson, J. W. K. Bruce, for
life and his issue, and, in default, in favour of his son,
Lewis Knight Bruce.
THE WEATHER ON THE COAST.—The weather was
fine on the coast on Tuesday, and there was a fair arrival
of shipping. At night, however, the wind was blowing
fresh from the north-west, and was inclined to be stormy.
Great anxiety prevails on the Tyne with regard to the long
detention of collier vessels on their return voyage from
the Baltic, as there is danger that they may be frozen in
for the winter.—Neiveastle Chronicle.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 'days' sight is about 155, per:cent., and the wk.() of gold
1421 per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the ha

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

In the pleasant spectacle of a house crowded every
night, so densely that at the rising of the curtain
there is not a vacant seat in any part of the build-
ing, Mr. Chatterton may find a proof, at once the
most gratifying and the most conclusive, of the
favour with which the public regard his mode of
managing Drury-lane Theatre. Last evening " The
Hunchback," the best of Mr. Sheridan Knowles's
dramas, attracted an immense audience, who enjoyed
the play exceedingly, and were especially gratified
by Miss Helen Faucit's expressive acting in the
character of Julia. Mrs. Hermann Vezin played
Helen with great spirit ; Mr. Walter Montgomery
was very effective as Sir Thomas Clifford ; and Mr.
Swinbourne gave a satisfactory impersonation of
Master Walter. The remarkable beauty and costli-
ness of the dresses gives an attractive air of brit'
Haney and elegance to the whole representation.

LATEST LEGAL NEWS.

(From the Law Times of to-day.)

THE NEW LORD CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE C0M31014

PLEAS.

Sir William Bovill dined at the hall of the Middle
Temple on Monday, for the last time as a bencher,
and on entering and departing was received with a
volley of cheers from the assembled members of the
Inn, which he will quit for Sergeants' Inn. 13ut
doubtless he will often honour the old hall with his
presence on grand days. The Middle Temple mal
well be proud of its children. It counts among its
members Lord Westbury, the present Chancellor,
the Lord Chief Justice of England, the last and pre-
sent Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the late
Chief Baron, several of the puisne Judges, and the
new Solicitor-General.

THE NEW JUDGES.

It is understood that the three new judges are
not to be partisan appointments ; that is to say, the
existing Government is not to use the patronage to
be given to them for the promotion of its own par-
tisans. This is the not unreasonable condition by
which the acquiescence of the Opposition is to be
secured. In accordance with this understanding,
the three fortunate men on whom the newly-
created honour is to alight will be Sir R. P. Collier,
M.P., the late Solicitor-General, Mr. Grove, Q.C./
and Mr. Cleasby, Q.C. ; the two former being
Liberals and the latter a Conservative. The Op-
position obtains the lion's share, but then Lord
Derby has enjoyed such a harvest of legal patronage
in the regular way that he can well afford to be
generous. This will clear the path for Mr. Cole-
ridge to the Attorney-Generalship when the De-
mocratic party comes into power.

General Stuart's Raid Round M'Clellan's
Army.

Colonel VON BORCICE'S "Memoirs of the Con-
federate War for Independence" have just been
republished from the pages of Blackwood's Magazine,
and recall some of the most striking scenes of the
great American contest. Although we have, poli-
tically, no sympathy with the side into which that
gallant and skilful officer threw the weight of his
sword, we sympathise with the love of adventure,
the earnest and dashing manner in which he pur-
sued the profession of arms to which he had devoted
himself, and even with the strong bias and true faith
with which he cast in his lot with the noble cavalry,
and that great officer who so worthily commanded

THE NEW POLICE MAGISTRATE.

It appears that we were premature in announcing
that Mr. Cooper had been appointed one of the
police magistrates of the district of Marylebone•
The gentleman upon whom the appointment has
been conferred is Mr. Robert M. Newton. lie was
called to the bar by Lincoln's-inn, May 6, 1847 ;
goes the Norfolk Circuit, and attends the Aylesbury'
and Bury Sessions. He is Recorder of Cambridge•
The appointment has somewhat surprised the Pro-
fession, the promotion of Mr. Cooper to the position
having been regarded as a foregone conclusion•
Mr. Newton is sixteen years Mr. Cooper's junior,
and he has enjoyed, we believe, but a limited prne'
tice. Nevertheless, he may make a very good pollee
magistrate. We understand that the applications
to Mr. Walpole were very numerous.

left eye when speaking; high cheek-bones, rather good
countenance, and his hands and feet are remarkably small

change to report with respect to the rinderpest ;
fresh cases are constantly occurring ; but at the
same time the proportion of attacks to the whole
number of cattle existing does not justify the exor-
bitant rates which the public have had to submit to
for meat during the last three months.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A CARMAN CHARGED WITH CAUSING THE DEATH OP
ANOTHER MAC. Charles Fisher, cab driver, badge 8,124,
was charged leforo Mr. Tyrwhitt with causing tho death
of a man, name unknown, by knocking him down with a
horse and cab.

Benjamin Nicholls, 89 E, said—About half-past ono this
morning I was in the Tottonham-court-road, and saw a
man coming down the road towards Oxford-street, walk-
ing on the pavement. The prisoner, who was driving a
Hansom cab, was coming down the road on the opposite
side at a steady pace. The man then crossed from the
chapel side, appearing to bo drunk, and staggering along,
and when he bad got about two paces from the cab rank
the shaft of the cab caught his head and knocked him
down. The prisoner called " Halloa !" as the man went
down, and after going a few yards turned his cab round
and came back. I ....not say whether the eel, went over
the nian or not. Tho prisoner was on his proper side.
I picked up the man, whose head was bleeding,
and on telling the prisoner that I should take
the man to the hospital, ho told mo to put him in his cab
and ho would take him anywhere. I took the man to the
University Hospital, and the house surgeon dressed his
head, but could not take him in, saying ho had no beds,
and that I had better take him to the station. The man
never spoko from first to last, and died at the hospital.
Mr. Tyrwhitt How long did he live after he was wanted
to be taken away ?

Constable—About 20 minutes. After he was lifted from
the bench ho sat on a chair and there died, and was taken
to the dead-house.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—You do not know who ho is ?
Constable—No, sir.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—At what rate was the cabman going?
Constable—Five miles an hour. On telling the prisoner
the man was dead he cried, and said that he would rather
have lost his cab and two horses than such a thing should
have occurred.

The Prisoner—l was coming along Tottenham-court-
road and thought the man was a cabman standing by his
horse, but instead of that it was a man who walked right
on to the horse.

The Constable—There were witnesses, but they are not
present.

Mr. Tyrwltitt—They ought to be present. I hope it is
a mere accident brought on by the man himself. I will
take one bail in .£5 for the prisoner's attendance next week.
London, England, 1866-01-23

Drury-Lana Theatre.

Colman's celebrated comedy, the " Jealous
Wife," was last evening revived at this theatre, and
the representation of it gave universal satisfaction
Ito a house crowded almost to overflowing. The
comedy was first brought out in February, 1761,
the ;,'llaracters of Mr. and Mrs. Oakley being per-
formed by Garrick and Mrs. Pritchard, Lord
Trinket, the noblest of old beaux, by Mr.liing, and
Lady Truelove, by Mrs. Ctive with thi3 cast it
then ran for 20 consecutive nights, a rather
extraordinary circumstance in those " good
old days of the drama." In the present
instance the five acts have been compressed
into three, the consequence is the comedy acts
closer, and the result is highly satisfactory. The
part of Mr. Oakley has always been looked upon as
one of Mr. Phelps's best, and his representation last
evening of the over-fond, wavering, and ultimately
right-asserting husband was quite equal to any of
those vivid creations which have secured to him so
much renown. The first act, in which we find Mr.
Oakley distressed beyond measure by his wife's
absurd and groundless jealousy, was represented
with the most refined and gentlemanly forbearance;
the touches of anguish at the thought of producing
pain to the lady in whom his worldly hopes of hap-
piness were centred were depicted with the greatest
ability. As the play proceeds, and Mr. Oakley
becomes aware of the mistaken course he is pursuing,
he asserts his right of being master in his own
house with a gentlemanly firmness that at once
shows determination and unalterable resolution.
The audience were delighted with the per-
formance, and signified their appreciation of
it in the most unmistakeable manner. Next
in importance to the part of Mr. Oakley is that of
Mrs. Oakley, and taking a rapid run over the
names of our living actresses we cannot light upon
one whom we would prefer seeing in the part to
Mrs. Herman Vezin, the lady who represented the
character last night. It is true there was in
some parts a want of dignity in the actions
of the jealous, headstrong woman, and that she
at times became a shrewish, scolding wife; but if
the conception of the part had its blemishes it also
had its beauties, and when the portions of the
character in which their was an overcharge of
violence is toned down, Mrs. Oakley will become
one of Mrs. Vezin's greatest parts. Mr. E. Phelps'
Lord Trinket merited the approbation it received,
and Mr. Marston, as. Major Oakley, sustained his
part with gentlemanly ease and effect. The comedy,
as we have said before, was enthusiastically re-
ceived, and will doubtless increase the attractions
now so high in the ascendant at Old Drury.
