and continued till yesterday morning. The bark

There was a misprint in the account of the Duke of
QUEErssERRY'S Will. His Grace's Solicitor was Mr.
Matt RI FIELD, of Albemarle-street. By his Grace's Will,
which is legally executed and attested by three witnesses
- so as to convey freehold property, he devises all his.fre,e-.
hoW and copyhold estates to Lord and Lady YAnsiourti
and their thildren ; this devise is, however, revoked by
the codicils and pecuniary le7acies to the amonnt of'
.41.50,000 given them instead; but as the codicils are
only so many sheets of note-paper, most of them
. in his Grace's hand-writing, and not attested le-
gally. they are insufficient to revoke the devise legally
made by the will ; so that by this informality. which
. his Grace does not seem to have been aware of, Lord
and Lady Irausivuru and their family will receive to
on enormous amount more than Ms Grace seems to
have intended.

Waterhouse, and brig Oak, MASON, broke from their
moorings, and drove across the river ; the fernier is
on shore on the point of the hill of Ardmore, the lat-
ter at the entrance of Gair Loch. A number of other
ships in this harbour broke their fasts, tore the posts
Inut of the quays, and were with difficulty saved from
being drove away. The United KingdoMiUDNEY, and
Jubilee, CA EtNIGII4 grounded near Helensburgh. The
Stranger, LOUDEN, which sailed from this port on the
7th instant, for Kingston, Jamaica, put back yester-
day, owing to stress of weather; we have not learned
what damage she has sustained. The Mac, FFILNANDs

Mr. Dastriztt here observed, that without the ques-
tion hiving been discussed, the man had actually
been sent on foreign service.
Mr. Jwits said that such an event had certainly
taken place; owing to some mistake, the man had
been drafted on board the Standard, which ship had
sailed for Cadiz on a very important service. He
asstired the Court, he had personally done every thing
in bis power to prevent it. His Lordship had desired
a telegraphic dispatch should be sent to stop the sail-
in et the ship.
