OOO. it LW forms part of the entail, and therefore will not como into the market. The lease of her house in Carlton Team:a has only about two years to run. After all the legacies have been paid, the residuary legatee will not come in for more than about £4,000 poi annum.  ----My Ann Roberts:has been convicted at the Liverpool Assizes, of stabbing a polico-officer so seriously that for some time his life was despaired of. When arrested prisotier said she hoped she would get seven years. The judge now said that that was not enough, and sentenced her to ten years' penal servitude. ll trans lied that the officer's life was saved through being We breast punks%  The Indian brewers have lately achieved a great rietory, which it is to be hoped they will, use with moderation. Upon the strong recommendation of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, and with the full- concurrence of the Military Department, Indian beer only is to be supplied to all garrisons from Peshawur to Umbala inclusive, as well as to all hill stations in the Punjaub and North-west Provinces ; and three fourths Indian beer and one-fourth English to all other stations as far soothes Cawnpore, neluding Cawnpore and Gwalior. By this arrangements the coneumption of Ind.an brewed liquor will De increas. d from about 18,000 hogsheads per annum o someil.ing liko 30,000 to 40,000. Then contracts Dereafter are to be given for three years instead of for one year or two years; and in order to allow the Drowers ample time to arm themselves for a long itunpaign, tenders for 1830, 1831, and 1832 are to be tdvertised almost, immediate.y, and opened at once.  No one can wonder at the renewed outbreak of yellow fever at Memphis, when one re ids of the shocking insanitar) condition of the town The "fever nest" which caused last year's visitation, slid the loss of 5,000 lives still exists, only the most meagre precautions having been taken. There still funs tin ough the town the old "bayou," which, with its sluggish tide of offal, still remain, as for the last forty yesrs, a receptacle for the entire filth of t city of 50,000 inhabitants. Then, too, the wooden strset pavements are decaying and sending up their ; lamp rotting exhalations. It is almost incredible ;hat the terrible warning of last year should not have ed to these conditions being swept away. Yet beyond making elaborate schemes on paper the authori ;ies seem to have done scarcely anything, and it is really to thsir—shall I not say criminal%—neglect ;hat the city owes the troubles under which it now milers. It is no matter for surprise that Memphis ihouid have these recurring outbreaks of fever, to make known its fearful powers.  A greatadvancement has latelybeen made in military ballooning, and though our officers are not yet able to control the winds ltS well as they control their comps-ales and batialions, they have achieved results which are considered very satisfactory. Captain Elsdale, of the Royal Evineers, has recently made five accents on consecutive days, and on one occasion, after sonic experiments with pilot balloons, he set out from Woolwich with the expressed intention of visiting his brother at Colchester, end by working three carrents succeeded in alighting at chat town about half-an-hour afterwards, The same officer has ascended with the non est. amid stnalicat of the war balloons, the Vedette, which contains hardly 12,000 feet of gas, and accomplished 70 miles, which is said to be the longest voyage on record with so small a quantity of gni., and retained a reserve of ballast which is calciMitim a • equal to 10 miles further, This looks very promising for the future, and there can be little doubt that before long ballooning will become quite an ordinary feature in warfare.  Considerable regret will be felt at the intelligence that Henry William Paco committed suicide in Cold. bath Fields Prison a few days since. The pathetic story told in the Daily Teleyraph a short time ago of the series of events that led up to his killing, in a fit of passion, the seducer of his daughter, and the one who ruined his home, caused a deep and widespread sympathy to prevail on his hehhlf, and there can be no Lividit that had he been able to endure the eighteen months' imprisonment to which he wail sentenced, he would on his release have found many a helping hand stretched forward to aid him in once more obtaining an honourable position in life, whilst of the £640 raised by public subscription in four days' on behalf of his family, a tolerably large amount had been set aside for his use when he regained his liberty. This fact, if it had been made known to Pace, should have given him strength to bear his punishment, and should have prevented him from plunging his already greatly afflicted family into still further grief. It is a sad sequel to a most  melancholy story.
