A singular contested will case is now on
hearing IN New York, involving property
of 100000. Frederick Rollwagen, Ger
man, died in October, leaving several sons
and grandchildren, by two wives. Two
years ago, ~ claimed by one Lena Hermann
formerly his housekeeper, he was married to
her, and, Just before his death, executed Il
will leaving to her and her child all his inn
mense property, 1t is claimed by the rela-
tivcs of the deceased millionaire that this
marriage, if it ever occurred, took place
while he was III an unsound mental condi-
ton; that st the time he is stated to have
signed the will he was paralyzed unable to
move his limbs, and dumb-claims which
are substantiated by medical testimony on
the one side, and denied by the witnesses on
ohe other.
Immediately after the death of Rollwa-
gen, the woman who claims to be his wife
gave out that abe was about to become a
snother, and subsequently, it is said, full
eilled her promise. The deatl-bed scene ut
Rollwagen's deccase, if the statements of
counsel are 70 be relied upon, was such as is
sometimes represented upon the stage but
seldom enacted in real life. The Sons of the
dying man were kept in ignorance of his
death until summoned to the funeral while
the chamber was thronged with hungry
relatives Of the woman who claims the
property. The whole affair reads more like
one of tho sensational dramas of modern
rimes than anything else. The enormous
property for which the parties are contend
ang, the shrewdnen of the conspirators, if
such they are, and the illiteracy of the
millionaire himself, give the case no little
interest

The Queens Speech.

LONDON, March l9.-Parliament re- assem-
bled today and the Queens speech was read,
Her Majesty refers to the continuance ottrlend-
Iy relations with foreign powers and alludes to
the marriage of the Duke Of Edinburgh as
pledge Of friendship between two great Enl-
pires Warm praise is given to the troops
COMPOSING the Ashantee expedition Tor the
courage aud endurance displayed in the cam
paign. Speaking Of the famine in Bengal the
Queen says the Governor General Of Iudia, has
been directed to spare no cost iu his efforts to
mitigate this terrible calamity. An estimate
of the expenditures for the coming financial
year will be submitted to the House of Com
mons Immediately Measures will be submit
ted to Parliament, which it is hoped will be
found calculated to do away with much delay
ana expense attending the transfer OF land in
England.
Several local matters are referred to includ-
ing the working of the act affecting the rcla-
tionshp between master aud servant; the act
dealing with otfcnses connected with trade and
the law of conspiracy. Ia view Of the rcmon
strances made against the measures, Her Ma
iesty desires that Parliament before attempt

precise questions in controversy, to secure which
she has issued her royal commission Of Inquiry

From Cuba.

New York, March l9.--Frcm private adj
vices received from Havana under date of
March 18th the Cuban merchants in this city
have learned that the commission De La Dcnda
have been engaged in an examination of the
affairs of the Spanish bank and have ascertain
ed that that institution has issued $l04 000,-
900 in paper currency, Instead of $6O,UOO. GOD,
which the bank had acknowledged in their
published statement, and that their capital is
only S6,0OO,00O. 1t has been further ascer.
tanned that the basis for this over-issue has
been loan to the Captain General Of less than
$50. 100000 in paper currency, without specie
to back up the notes. In addition to this im-
mense issue very large quantity of counter.
felt bills have been discovered, and this has
created so much excitement in Havana that
specie is going up rapidly and many persons
are exchanging their currency Tor real estate
and buildings. In the erection Of the latter
there has lately been great activity, the owners
of paper money being lar more anxious to have
property in buildings than 10 hold any quantity
of the depreciating currency. An effort will be
made to introduce foreign specie into Cuba as
the currency has not been very successful. So
far the specie has ouly gone into the ports and
out again in foreign trade. The discovery Of
all these facts, the Cuban letters state, has
thrown the business condition Of the country
into a state of chaos and destroyed the calcula-
tons of all foreign merchants trading with
Havana
