Troubles In France.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
World, of the Gath, writes as follows:
Even this tempting bait, however, will not,
I am inclined to think, induce the Emperor to
take an additional load upon his shoulders,
Dow that they are borne down by q weight of
woe among his own people. The fact is, His
Majesty and his advisers will have as much as
they can do, during the coming winter, to keep
France quiet. There promises to be great
deal of real distress in France; and although,
Of course, the Government does not permit the
publication Of the facts, certain collateral evil
dences prove plainly that provisions are being
made to guard against the disastrous results Of
a general famine. In most of the departments,
for instance, the local Legislatures are voting
sums of money for relief, and We hear it stated
that a large amount will be appropriated by the
COrps LegisLatif at its coming session. The
failure of the grain crop in France amounts to
something more than the mere scarcity of pro-
visions. Here the peasantry cultivate very
small patches Of land, which are either hired
or, if owned by them, often heavily mortgagsd,
and upon the failure Of crop they find them
selves not only without money to pay their
rent or interest, but without food for their
families, or the wherewith to purchase it.
Such is now the case in the grain. gro wiug
districts, where the grain crop, which is usu-
ally from fifteen to twenty two hectOliters to
the hectare Ia hectoIitre is two and three.
fourths English bushels, and hectare little
less than two and half acres, will not amount
this year to more than ten hectolitres. In this
condition of affairs the psople rehearss the les
son which a paternaI government has taught
them They demand of the government relief,
cheap bread and the means Of living through
the winter, and, although the Government is
doing all it can to avert the calamity, there is
no doubt that considerable distress will ensue.
Then there is considerable suffering in the
manufacturing districts. At Lyons two large
silk manufactures have stopped work, and
several hundred people are thrown out Of en-
ployment-the result Of the almost entire stop
page Of the silk expectations to the United
States. In Paris the people are grumbling at
the excessive taxes, the result OF the opening
of new boulevaTds, the construction Of new and
magnificent public edi6oes, and the general
extrava Eance which has characterized the mu-
nicipAl adminiStration for several years past,
and which has made it almost i'm possible for
people with modest incomes TO exist in Parls
The Republicans, Legitimists, 0heanists and
the clergy, who as o body may now be consid-
esTsd as entirely estrAngsd from the Emperor,
! are taking advantage, Of course, of the present
troubles to foment discomfort and disorder.
| So the Emperor has business enough In his
hands for the next few months without mixing
himself up with the American difficulties.

There was no risk or expense In this; they
had assets in their hands which could have
been reduced to money at any moment. They
are deserving Of praise for thus saving the
stock, but not pay.
Difficult questions require much time, and
to be in communication with the Solicitor
claims were presented, repairs were 70 DO ooneJ
suits commenced, communications were to DO
presented.
II appears that Immediately upon qualify
ing, the Executors organized themselves into
Board, and all questions arising, and business
pertaining to the estate, were considered and
passed upon by the Board.
They elected a President, Clerk and Solicitor.
Judge Warren says: "All payments and all
matters Of business were regularly passed upon
by the Board. It was determined to employ
some one to keep the accounts and prepare such
papers as night be necessary in the settlement
Of the estNte. All the funds Of the estate
passed through my hands into bank, or in pay
ment Of charges against the estate. No pay
ments were made except through the general
order Of the Board.
"In addition to my services as Clerk and in
collecting rents, &c, it became necessary tor
me TO advise the Executors,
"I made out the accounts, reports and com
munications Of the Executors to the City Oouu-
Gil, under instructions Of the Executors and
Judge Key"
The time given by the Executors to the busi-
ness was chiefly in attendance at these meet
ings of the Board, where all matters we're de-
termined upon, and the Clerk, Solicitor, and
other agents, were directed how to act and
what to do.
1t seems from this that all tho hard labor
and drudgeTy were performed by agents, who
have been paid by the estate. For the ser-
vices so rendered by agents, clerks, &C., and so
paid for, the Executors do not, of course, ask or

The MeMIcken Will Case.
IMPORTANT DECISION.
PROBATE COURT.


The MoMTcKEN EsTGTE-THE QUESTION OF
Extra CONVERSATION TO THE ExECUToRs.-
Judge Paddock disposed, yesterday, Of the
claim Of f. G.. Carey, W. M. f. Hewson and
VIM. Crossmsn, for extra compensation as
executors 10 the will Of Charles Nc Micken.-
The opinion Of the Judge is as follows;
Charles McMicken died in this city upon the
30th of March, 1858, at the age Of seventy six,
leaving last will and testament. He never
married. He was prudent, frugal and econom-
ical in bis habits, and never INDUCED himself
in an extIavagant, or perhaps generous mode
Of life.
His life was devoted with remarkable success
to the acquisition Of property, which, ct his
death, was valued at nearly million Of dollars.
This character and this devotion Of the man is
explained. The disposition of his property ap-
pears TO have occupied much Of his thoughts,
for in section 81 of his will he says:
"Having long cherished the desire to found
an institution where white boys and girls nj ght
be taught not only knowledge Of their duties
to their Creator and their fellow. men, but also
receive the benefit Of a sound, thorough and
practical Epglish education, and such as might
fit them for the active duties Of life, as well as
instruction in all the higher branches Of knowl
edge, except denominational theology, to the
extent that the same are now, or may hereafter
be, taught in any of tho secular colleges or uni-
vefsities of the highest grade in the country. l

vldence 1 have been sufficiently favored to

therefore give, devise and bequeath to
| The City of Cincinnati, and to its successors
for the purpose of building, establishing anG
maintaining, ss soon as practicable after my
decesse, two Colleges for the education Of whit
| boys and girls, all the following real and per-
sonal estate in Trust, &c"
This educational sohtme had long been tn
| single object of his life-and on unfolding IL t,
his intimate friend, f. G. Carey, he Informed
him that he had labored from early manhood
| for its complishment-and was so overcome
| by bis emotions in conversing about 1t, that h
became suffused in tears.
| He selected as his Executors, f. G. Carey, W
| NJ. f. Hewson, and VIM. Crossman, and others
the number Of six-but these only gave bon
fixed by the Court at $150,000 each.
The Executors Immediately took possessio
of the property, real and personal, in Ohio
proceeded to Louisiana to look after the prop
erty there. They caused an Inventory to b
prepared by the persons selected by them, b
direction of the Will.
Upon the 18th December, 1859, they file

r When we reflect that the liver Is the largest
internal organ of the body, that to it is assigned
the important duty Of filering the blood and pre-
pairing the bile, that it is subject to many disor
ders, and that when it is diseased, or inactive,
ths whole body suffers sympathetically, it is not
surprising that medicine which can restore the
healthy operations of the liver should produce
wonderful changes in the general health, and ef-
feet cures which may appear to be almost mirac-
ulons. Headache of long continuance, severe
pains in the side, breast, and shoulders, aching
Of the limbs, feeling of general weakness and
wretchedness, and other alarming or distressing
symptoms, indicative OF imperte-t or disordered
action of the liver, are speedily removed by the
use Of SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS.
