We have been shown by Jos. Burton, Esq,
Register of Deeds for this county, rare Gu
riosity in its way, consisting of copy of the
will of Florentius Vassall, formerly of Lon
don, now on file and recorded in the Probate
office in this city. Tits what is termed an ex-
emplifed copy, and is probably fac simile Of
the original, written artistically in the old
English characters on eleven large sheets Of
parchment. and is authenticated under the
''big seal" of the Lord Archbishop of Can
terbury,' the head of the Prerogative Court,
the Supreme Court of Probate in England.
The will is written without blot, mistake or
erasure, and must have, required vast
amount of labor and an inexhaustible fund of
patience to execute it. In those days people
had vast estates to bequeath to their heirs and
were not at all saving of the sheepskin upon
which to write their wills. The town of Vas
salboro' was named for the gentleman who
makes disposal of his property in the above
mentioned will

The Express says that Wall street pre-
scented very calm appearance, ard specula-
ton was tame in the different departments,
with comparatively slight fluctuations.
Money is gradually growing easier and the
supply offering to-day was very liberal. The
business on call was chiefly at 6 to per
cent. but there were transactions with gov
eminent dealers Mt 5 per cent, when the bor-
rover was willing to accept National Bank
notes. The supply of this kind of currency
is large at this point, and is rapidly increas-
ing The banks generally report the receipts
of money from all sections, and the return
flow of currency has now actively set in.
Discounts show increasing ease, and prime
business notes are current at to 10 per cent.
The foreign exchange market is dull at
3-4 per cent. for long, and 8 3-s for short
sight.
Gold was dull during the afternoon. but
later in the day private dispatches report
great excitement in Paris, in consequence of
which the gold market became active and adj
vanced to 122 at the close. Carrying rates

Emperor to-day visited the barracks and mill
tary school. Henri Rochefort was present at
the sitting of the Corps Legislatif to-day.
Monday has bceen appointed as the day for
opening the discussion on the arraignment of

will propose law providing that all political
crimes and offences be tried by a jury.

gentleman from Bangor who has recently
been spending several months in Virginia, in
letter to gentleman in this city, gives the
following as the result of his observations and
reflections
"The poor people of Virginia have been
Gagged in darkness until their eyes are dim.
The planters have held the keys until their
own arms have become palsied Both Of these
classes are incompetent to take care of them
selves or of each other, as they need to be
taken care of. Unless Congress puts them
under the guardianship of laws which the
planters cannot alter, barbarism worse than
anything that ever existed in Virginia will
come about, and remain until it becomes
desert Of the lowest moral and physical type"
