WARSAW.

A letter from Warsaw of the 7th gives the fol
lowing details of what took place on the day pre•
ceding that of the late collision :

" Yesterday a body of nearly 60,000 persons
assembled to go in procession to the patronal fete
of Powouski, but the idea was afterwards aban-
doned. This morning a great number of persons
attended the churches, and at the close of the
service assembled in the streets. The crowd col-
lected was immense and very agitated, and went
in a body to the Hotel of the Agricultural Society.
Over the principal entrance is the arms of
Russia, the double-headed eagle, having on its
breast the white eagle of Poland. The Russian
eagle was not injured by the crowd, but they
covered it with black crape, so that only the
Polish eagle could be seen. The people also covered
the front of the hotel with branches of palm and
wreathS of immortelles. The people demanded
Count Andre Zamoyski, but on being informed
that he was not in the hotel, they went to his
private residence. The Count, seeing the crowd
approach, went down into the street and, addressing
the leaders, recommended them to observe calmness
and moderation, as such conduct would constitute
their greatest strength. They promised that his
advice should bo followed. About five o'clock the
mass of people went towards the Chateau of General
Gortschskoff, who had from the previous day kept
an imposing force under arms. The crowd called
loudly for the General, who came out on horseback at
the head of his staff, and, advancing, towards them,
asked what they wanted. We want our country,
and a Polish army, for a country without au army
is a hand without fingers.' The General replied
that they had not adopted a proper mode of
asking for it, and advised them to disperse with-
out disturbance. 'The Emperor,' added the
General, has already made several concessions
to you, and will make more if you remain quiet.'
Promise us to transmit our wishes to the Em-
peror,' replied the leaders of the crowd. At this
moment the front ranks of the people were so
close to the troops that no one could have passed
between them. The crowd manifested no aggres-
sive disposition, ani did not show any intention
of retiring, but, on the contrary, kept gradually
increasing in numbe.r: To all the summonses to
disperse, the answer made was, Promise. us, on
your honour, to transmit our demands to the Em-
peror.' General Gortschakoff then re-entered the
chateau, and the situation became' more and more
critical. The arms of the_ troops had been loaded
.
without the' people appearing to take any heed of
ite At the
.expiration of a quarter of an hour Gen.
lileouleff cane', and iri the name of Gen. Gortscha-
koff promised to agree to their request and trans-
mit their demands. Some of the citizens then
addresSed the people, and recommended them to
retire. The answer given to them was, 'Let the

r soldiers be first withdrawn ; they have not eaten
for the day, and it is a pity to fatigue them so
much for nothing' The troops were accordingly
ordered back to their barracks, and the people
began to disperse, saying, however, as they went,
We shall return to-morrow and bring our de-
mands in writing.'"
A letter of the 9th says:--
" Yesterday, between five and six o'clock, a nume-
rous crowd again assembled before the royal palace,
in accordance with the intention announced the
previous evening to repeat its demands. At the
same moment a post-chaise crossed the square,
and the postilion played on his horn the national
air of Dombroski, Poland has not yet perished !'
This, so to speak, electrified the people,
and though without arms, they attempted to
force their way into the courtyard of the palace.
Then the cavalry charged and the infantry fired.
Several young men, some of them carrying cruci-
fixes, attempted to separate the people by leading
part of them into the streets in the vicinity
of the Podwale and the Senatorska, but they found
the entrance to the streets occupied by infantry.
New volleys were fired at the people. The num-
ber of persons killed and wounded is not yet
known, but it must be considerable. The soldiers
carried many dead bodies to the palace, and other
victims were sent to St. Roch's Hospital and the
European Hotel. Whilst these sanguinary
scenes were taking place in front of the palace,
between 3,000 and 4,000 persons, and among
them many women and children, collected
round a statue of the Virgin at the opposite end
of the square, and on their knees began praying
and singing hymns. Detachments of infantry
made several attempts to disperse them.
but without success. At length, at nightfall; the
troops were withdrawn, and the crowd quietly re-
tired. In the evening a deputation of the citizens
went to the palace and requested to see Prince
Gortschakoff, but he refused to recEive them.
General consternation prevails. It is feared that
bad news will come in from the provinces, as the
dissolution of the Agricultural Society has there
caused great exasperation. In the course of the
demonstration of the 7th, an aide-de-camp of
General Chrulow committed suicide by blowing
out his brains at the palace. The director of finance,
M. Lenski, the director of the bank, M. Miepoko-
jszycki, and the Governor of Lublin, M. Mackie-
wicz, sent in their resignations on the morning of
the Bth."

WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The will of her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kent was proved in the principal registry on the 3d
of this month by the Prince Consort, the sole exe-
cutor. This will, emanating from so distinguished
a person as the mother of her Majesty, will, we are
assured, be read with great interest by all classes.
Under this conviction we give the document entire.
" This is the last will and testament of me, Victoria
Marie Louise, Duchess of Kent and Strathern. I
hereby revoke all other wills and codicils made by me
at any time heretofore. I give, devise, and bequeath to
my dearly-beloved daughter, her Majesty Queen
Victoria, all my real and personal estate whatsoever
and wheresoever whereof I may be seised, possessed,
interested in, or entitled unto at the time of my
decease, to hold the same unto my said daughter,
her successors, and assigns absolutely. I appoint
my dearly-beloved son-in-law and nephew his Royal
Highness Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Prince
Consort, sole executor. In witness whereof I have
hereto set my hand this twentieth day of March,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty.—VICTORIA."
" Signed and declared by her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent and Strathern as and for her last
will and testament in the presence of us, who, in
her presence (all being present at the same), at her
request, and in the presence of each other, have
subscribed our names as witnesses.—G. Couper,
Principal Equerry to H.R.H. the Duchess of Kent,
Frogmore ; Ramsay H. Couper, clerk in the War
Office, residing in Frogmore." The will of her late
Royal Highness exhibits a perfect specimen of
beautiful penmanship. It is written in a style of
remarkable neatness and perspicuity, and is so
exceedingly brief as merely to occupy a portion
only of one side of foolscap paper. The personalty
was sworn under £30,000.
The will of the Most Noble Elizabeth Dowager
Duchess of Cleveland, of Newton House, near
Bedale, Yorkshire, and of Grosvenor-square, Lon-
don, was proved in the London Court on the 3d
instant by Lord Harry Vane, M.P., and Mark
Milbank, Esq., the executors. The personalty was
sworn under £300,000, The will of this distin-
guished lady is exceedingly voluminous, and the
property of which she died possessed, consisting of
realty and personalty, is of very large amount.
The bequests are principally confined to the mem-
bers of her family • but there are many generous
instances of her kindly feelings towards personal
friends. Her Grace bestows an annuity of £l,OOO
upon the widow of her deceased nephew, Robert
Russell, Esq., and her real estates she devises to the
eldest son of that gentleman (now in his minority),
subject to certain charges. Her Grace, in token
of her kindly esteem and regard to many of
her friends and others, has left them va-
rious ornaments in costly jewellery. These she
has described very minutely by affixing the name of
the person to each ornament. Her Grace has also
exercised the most bountiful liberality towards her
servants, leaving to them very handsome legacies
and annuities, and the continuance of her weekly
allowances to her pensioners, this sum amounting
to about £B7 per annum. The Duchess has directed
that the residue of her property shall be expended
in the purchase of freehold investments, in order to
form an estate, which is, in like manner with the
other estates, to devolve to the eldest son or repre-
sentative of her deceased nephew.
The will and five codicils of the late Lady Har-
riet Elizabeth Wetherell-Warneford, of 96, Eaton-
square, London, and of Warneford-place, High-
worth, Wilts, have been proved in her ajesty's
Court of Probate by Joseph Sewell, Esq., the sole
executor. Her ladyship was the second and sur-
viving daughter of the late Colonel Francis Warne-
ford, and the widow of the late Sir Charles
Wetherell, Knt., D,C.L., M.P. Lady Wetherell-
Warneford entered into the possession of the family
estates in Wilts and in Ireland upon the death of
her mother, the Hon. Elizabeth Warneford, in
1847, and shortly afterwards assumed her maiden
name of Warneford after that of Wetherell by, Royal
licence. Her ladyship died on the 7th ult., child-
less, when the family estates passed, under the will
of her late husband, to the Rev. John Henry Warne-
ford of Halifax, Yorkshire. Her ladyship com
mences her will by the bestowal of her jewels upon
her god-daughter, Lady Clementine Augusta
Churchill, daughter of the late Duke of Marl-
borough, and to whom she leaves her leasehold
house in Eaton-square, together with the furniture
and a legacy of £5,000. The other pecuniary
legacies are as follow :—To the Dowager Vis-
countess Ashbrook, £1,000; to Viscountess Ash-
brook, £5,000 ; to the three daughters of
Viscount Ashbrook, £15,000 amongst them;
to Nathan Wetherell, Esq., £5,000, and upon
him devolves a , further sum of £5.000, as
the representative of the late Rev. R. Wetherell(;
to' her friend Joseph Sewell, Esq., of Ciren-
cester, £lO,OOO, and whom she has appointed resi-
duary legatee; to the daughters of the late Mr.
Melton, her London solicitor, £3,000, which sum
was left to his widow, since deceased ; to F.
Chichester, Esq., £530 ; to the wife ()Wept. Webbe,
£500; to the Rev. E. Rowden, Vicar of Highworth,
£l,OOO ; and to William Lawrence, Esq., her medi-
cal attendant, £5OO. Lady Warneford has left to
her own maid, Esther Bradford, £5,000, and other
bequests ; to Elizabeth Phillips, her late house-
keeper, £3OO ; to her butler, £5OO ; to another ser-
vant, £2OO ; and to her head gardener, farm bailiff,
and each of her domestic servants, one year's wages.
Her ladyship leaves the following munificent be-
quests for 'charitable purposes, namely :—The sum
of £45,000 to trustees for aiding the necessitous
widows and orphans of the poor clergy, incumbents,
and licensed curates in the ancient diocese of Glou-
cester—her ladyship having made a gift of £30,000
for promoting the building and repairing the
churches in the same diocese; and bequeaths to the
the interest to be
vicar of Sevenhampton £2,000,

under £lBO,OOO, The will • bears date the 16'h of
April, 1851, and witnessed by E. Carleton Holmes,
12, Bedford• row, solicitor, and Richard Fisher, of
Queen-square, Bloomsbury. The last codicil was
made on the 21st of July, 1860,—Illustrated Lon
don News.

A MoNsrEn I3uLL.—There is now in the layers
at the New Cattle Market, probably the largest bull ever
seen. It was brought last night to the market in a convey-
ance from the Nine Elms station of the South-Western
Railway. It is of the strawberry colour, and its weight is
14- tons, or 350 stone: Its arrival in the market caused, as
may be supposed, some excitement, and, doubtless, will do
so till its removal from the market. It is at the market for
sale oIA Monday tleAt, It is of the shorthorn breed,
