THE LATE MARQUIS OE HERTFORD.—The personal property of the late Marquis or Hertford has bet n sworn under 700,0001., the duty on which will amount to 10,000/. It is stated, on the best authority, that the report of the executors being about to commence a civil action against Suisse is totally without foundation. It was at one time thought that a dispute would arise with respect to the property left by some of the codicils, in consequence of their being without a date ; but all has been amicably arranged. The executors are allowed by law 12 months from the death of the late Marquis to pay all or any of the respective bequests to the several persons therein named ; but whether they will avail themselves of such a privilege in the case of Suisse is not at 'present known. It is said that he intends leaving a power of attorney in this country to receive the amount, and that he intends shortly leaving England to join his wife. We have it from good authority, although we cannot actually vouch for the fact, that the recent prosecution of Suisse was not with the consent or wish of the present Marquis of Hertford, and that many extraordinary facts in reference to this singular case were kept from the. public eye.—Britannia. Yesterday evening an accident occurred to a fine lad, mimed Joshua Wardell, ten years of age, whose parents rtside at No. 20atoupell-street, Cornwall-road. It appears that the lad had been sent on an errand by his mother to the Borough Market, and, whilst crossing the road in Park-street, he was run over by a cab. The driver, who had previously called to the lad to get out of the way, and who exhibited the greatest regret at the occurrence, immediately stopped his horse, and the child being placed in the cab, was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital. The wheels had passed over his neck and head, and considerable doubts are entertained of his ultimate recovery. This is the sixth case of accident (three of which have terminated fatally) in the family of the lad, and three of theta having beets run over by vehicles.  A man, 22 years of age, named Wattrelot, who acted as assistant to his father-in-law, a farmer, named Foutry, at Carvin-Epinoy, was tried before the Court tn. Assizes of the Pas-de-Calais, on the 25th ult., for the murder by poison of his father •in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law, the motive for his crime having been to become more speedily in possession of the property, which at their death would belong to him in right of his wife. The father-in-law was murdered by mixing arsenic in his soup, and six days afterwards the murderer adopte,l the same course with the two female victims. He was found guilty by the Jury, .but (to the astonishment of the Court) with extenuating circumstances. He was, consequently, sentenced to imprisonment for life, with hard labour and exposure in the pillory. A letter from Alexandria, 22d ult, in the Semaphore of Marseilles, says—" It was supposed that the Pacha had renounced the intention of sending out his fleet, but the contrary appears to be the case, for, during the last two days, the ships have been taking in provisions, and Said Pacha has been sent for by his father. This sudden determination has given rise to various conjectures. Some say that the fleet is about to be sent on a secret mission ; while others assert that it is to join the squadron of Admiral de la Susse. There is reason to believe, however, that the Egyptian fleet will not proceed to any distance from the coast, and that the chief object in sending it out is for exercise and rasuceuvres."
