DOE. D. suirAnity V. WILFORD.

This was a case to determine whether the plaintiff wasentitled to
a portion of the property of the late General Wilford. The property in
dispute had at one time formed part of theßanelagh property,and hag
been devised with the rest, by the General to the defendant, who was
his widow. After the making of the General's will, the
Governors of Chelsea Hospital applied to him to purchase a
small part, about seven acres,: of that. called the Ilanelagh pro-
perty. In order the better to assure the title, they required,
the General to pass a fine of the Itanelag,h property, which he'
accordingly diJ. 'The General died shortly afterwards, not having
altered the terms of his will, by which the whole of his Ilanelagb
property had been left to his widow. The plaintiff, who claimed
as heir at law, contended that by the operation of tite fine, that putt
of the will relating to the ILinelagh property was revoked, and was
left in the same state as if the Utiikral had died intestate, in which
case it would clearly have descended to his heir at law.—The'
Oiler Justice made some strong observations on the conduct of
the plaintiff, under whose directions, and by whose advice, the fine
had been passed, and said, that although a Court of Law would not
disturb s title founded on a fir.e,which was the great assurance of the
larded property of the kingdom, still that the defendant might
have reourse to another jurisdiction, namely, a Court of Equity, for
relief. —The Jury then found a verdict for the plaintiff, by which
his legal title to that part of the Ilanelagh property vested in the
General at the time of his death wets affirmed.

Letters from Corfu, of the of this month, relate,

three Greek vessels whnich succoured it, and even took
an Alge:ine vessel ; the others took refuze at Lepanto.,

A very strange epideraie disorder prevails among the
rein deer in the North of Sweden; it sv..:.s at first thought
by some to resemble hydrophobia t but, on the contrary,
the poor animals, as soon as they are attacked, run at
full speed till they nwet with a running stream, into
which they plunge and perish, to the great loss of the
unfortunate owners, whose herds constitute their whole
p! overly. It is estirnated that above 3,000 iein deer
rave per ished in this manner.

An arrival from Alvarado on Saturday last, brought
letters of the 2d of April from that place. They con-
firm an account which has appeared in the American
pai:ers, of the murder of Mr. CrtwwFouo, the American
Commissioner to Mexico, by robbers. He travelled in
company with one of the escorts that reriodically leave
the capital With specie for the coast, but met his fate
through his imprudence in venturing too far from its
protection.. Captain MURRAY, aho was with Mr.
CRAWFOIIIS at the time he :vas attacked, himself escaped
with &Medicy from the robbers. These letters do not
state anything of moment to have Occurred at the seat
Of Government. His BrNiSty'S ship VALOROUS, was
at Alvarado, and was to sail in a few days fur England,
having completed her lading of Specie.
An Arabian fanatic has appeared in Upper Egypt.
who gives himself out for the Visir, or the Precursor of
the Prophet El Moko.ii, who died a thousand years
ago. This Chief has collected a numerous band tinder
his standard, and has marched from Kossein to Kinnah,
on the Niie, of which he has made himself master. The
Paella has caused the corps of troops which occupied
Sioul to march against him, and hopes to stop his pro.
press. Such is probably the origin of the report of an
invasion of Egypt by the Wechabites. As fur the pre•
tended surprise of the citulel of Cairo, by the ancient
Chief of the Mamelukes rthi tn lley), there is no
mention of it in the leans of the 7th April, though
this event was stated to have liappenel or: the '6.h of
March.—Austi ian Observer.
