An importan. law case has been decid-
ed by Judge, Bermutlez, of the Probate
Court of New Orleans. The point of
law arose in the settlement of the estate
of Alexander Milne, recently deceased,
who left an immense estate to be distrib-
uted in accordance with the directions of
his last will. Among other testamentary
dispositions, was legacy of one humid
red thousand dollars to the city Of Focha-
bers. in Scotland, the birth place OF the
testator. "3'e
An application to the Court Of Probates
for the bequest, was made in due form by
the Duke of Richmond, to whom, it seems
the city of .Fochabers belongs. His grace,
at least, is the feudal lord Of the corpora
ton, and claims the legacy for his own.
To this application the heirs. and other lie.
gatees of Milne. made strenuous opposi-
ton. ~

PRoeREss OF THE CAMpAlcN.--Elec-
tons have taken place in eight States
since the passage Of the Sub Treasury
bill. The result in five of these States
is Wing majority of about forty fue
thousand. The loco foco majority in the
other three States is about seoe,a OF eight
thousand, leaving majority of Wings
of about thirty-seve,a thousand. AS a set
off against this overwhelming majority,
the loco focos have resorled TO calculation.
And what sort of figure do they make!
They calculate on ten thousand majority
in New Hampshire and Maine, and three
thousand five hundred in New York. So
that, giving them all they calculate on,
the Wings stand with majority Of 49,.
500! To these we shall have to add the
majorities in New York, Ohio, Virginia,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Maryland, Del.
aware, Tennessee, and Georgia, twelve
States, at least fifty thousand more, and
the probability Of atleast twenty thousand
in Pennsylvania and Mississippi; and all
that is required to secure this majority Of
hundred thousand, is ,,nceasing activity
and unrelaxing vigilance. Our opponents
are in despair. We hear no more Or .rhe
sober second thought Of the people. y
Mr. Van Buren, places his last hope in, the
desperate chance of successful fraud.
1t the people cannot be coaxed, they are
to be cheated. The cunning Of, Amos
Kendall is to be called into action. The
red foe relies on his tail. Macbeth, in
his madness, flies to The. witches, and
like Macbeth, he viii be duped and DIES.
