      A Fortune . —The will of Mr .

      total payment to government of a sum of £ 45 ^ 000 out of a single estate . It is an extraordinary fact , and presents a striking contrast to the will of the late Lord Eldon , which occupied forty-eight closewrirten skins of parchment , that tnis will is contained on one side of a sheet of letter paper . Mr . Holford was but twenty-two years of age , and unmarried . Wit ' i . the exception of the late Mr . Eothschild , and Mr .

      The National Movement . ——Public Meetings . —On Saturday evening last , there was a numerous out-door meeting ar Greenside , about seven miles up the Tyne from Newcastle , on the south side cf the river . Commodious hustings were erected ; the Winlaton band , which handsomely volunteered its services , was in attendance ; whilst an assemblage of some two thousand stalwart men , and a va « t concourse of females , showed that even in the quiet of retirement , the hand of the oppressor is felt , and the hearts of ^ Englishmen are rising up to resist it . The chair was taken at sis o ' clock by Mr . Foster , and the meeting was ably and appropriately addressed by several of the most active and

      intelligent of the working men of , Newcastle , and resolutions were - unanimously passed condemnatory of the proposed agitation'of the Corn Laws , asserting the principle of Universal Suffrage , and pledging the meeting to co-operate with the Northern Political L nion in carrying out that principle inte full and complete effect . Seldom have we seen greater enthusiasm than was evinced by the people of that neighbourhood on the occasion ; and when darkness brought the proceedings to a close , a large procession was formed , headed by the band , for the

      purpose of conveying the Newcastle deputation on their way to Winlaton to . attend a meeting advertised to be held in that town the same evening . About half-past eight the deputation reached Winlaton , where it wasfonnd that the Theatre , in which it was intended the meeting should be held , would not be able to contain a tithe of the vast assemblage , it was therefore adjourned to an open square where a flight of stone stairs formed an excellent platform for the speakers . After excellent speeches similar resolutions were unanimously agreed to . —^ Nort rn Liberator .

      The Monastery of St . Bernard .- ^ Th e Monk Macarius , of whom we , sometime ago , had occasion to speak in connection with his mission of of charity on behalf of the Monastery of Mount Melleray , in Ireland , is now engaged on a similar expedition , appealing to the sympathies of the benevolent on behalf of a new establishment of Trappite Monks , at Mount St . Bernard , is Leicestershire . The monks have already brought into excellent cultivation from 40 to 50 acres of good

      land ; and they anticipate by the proceeds from such cultivation materially to increase their daily donations to the poor of their neighbourhood , who already , from sunrise to sunset , are to be found receiving aims at the gate of the Monastery of Mount St . Bernard . We understand that Lord Stourton and several other catholic noblemen and gentlemen have received Mr . Maearius with great - affability , and have snbserilied very literally to the object of bis mission . I 3 e has also succeeded in collecting upwards of £ 20 from the friends of Catholicism in

      Leeds . Ingenious Fraud . —J . Willis was charged with the following fraud : —The prisoner , it appear . * , is one of a numerous-gang of fellows , who are at present going about town hawking coals , and by an ingenions contrivance committing the most heartless frauds on the lower and middling classes . Thefelloyvs offer tbe coals , which appear of a good quality , for considerably less than they can be " got elsewhere , in order to induce persons to purcbasethem ; andshould

      a hundred be ordered they pretend to have but one weight , so as robe obliged to make two draughts of the quantity . The first part they throwinto a sack , with a false side to it , and so contrived that threefourths of the next half hundred though shot into the mouth of the sack , falls into the waggon again ; The parties with the waggon , on the trick being discovered , made their escape ; but as the policeman was removeing it to the Green-yard , the prisoner made his appearance , and having claimed it as his , was taken into custody . The exhibition , of the sack in the

      office created seme laughter , and it was evident from its contrivance that the purchasers received very little more than half the quantity they paid for . The prisoner was ordered to find bail to answer any charge that might be preferred against him at the session . Effects of Gin , —AtMarlborough-streefc office , London , an old woman , named Elizabeth White , was charged with being drun ^ and with having created a disturbance inthe street !? . / A young man of very respectable appearance en me forward to give evidence against the woman . He said the woman at the bar was the mother of himself and three other * ons , all of whom were establishing themselves ) n business , and each was likely to . have his property

      severely injured by the disgraceful propensity of their parent for gin . They jointly contributed a weekly sum towards her maintenance , and they had : even made arrangements with the parish officers for the further support of their mother . Such , however , washer -unconquerable propensity for liquor , that she would spend every farthing she could obtain at the gin-shop , and though clothed respectably one day , she would appear the next in rags , from having p arted with her decent garments to raise money for more gin . When in a state of intoxication , she would make her appearance at one of ; -her . sons ' shops , and , by her disgraceful situarion / ahd her conduct , she would canse" a riot ; and thus create inuch injury to Iris business . ^ All her sons had tiriiesoht of number been subjected to this annoyance , and it

      now had become necessary to ask tte magistrate to . inflict some sort of punishment on their mpther . It was useless sending hei : into the ¦ wdrkhousey as she bad discharged herself twenty times from thafcrefog )?) some more severe mode of restfaitlt must now be adopted towards her . Mr .

Why did they assemble in thier thousands to ask for a change in their represeritatioii ? Was it not because that they who took charge of the national funds left them to work for them , and expended the money for their own benefit ? Was it not becaipe a junto formerly exercised the privilege of placing men in the House ofCommons , and although tbeysucoeeded

      in aiding others to destroythat junto , had riot araanyheaded monster taken its place ? Had taxation got removed t . Were their homes inore happy ? / Pits the monster of intemperance done away with ? Were their electors more pure than tliey were before ? When he looked around him did he hot look around on some working meh there who had admitted to him , at the last election , that they dared not use their franchise?—Cheers . —Were there not thousands . of tradesmen who dared not use their elective franchise in Liverpool ? Did not this . principle extend into the mass as broad as the basis of society ? If , in wishing for tTniversal Suffrage , they were wishing for it for the working man only and for none other , then

      would their cause be an unholy and unjust one and they ought not to prosper . But they sought nothing for themselves which they were not willing to give to others ; they asked for nothing but a participation in what was " every man ' s birth .-right . ^ Ch , eers . —In asking for their rights they would take no less . Their reasons were the following : —the boroughmongers shared iti the management of the pursestrings of the nadoo ' s wealth for an indeifinite period . The phalanx got broken , and the people in the joy of the moment consented to do what they ought not to have done—consented to sacrn ' ce the principle of Universal Suffrage , in the ? hope that the power they thus gave over would be nsed with , patriotism , and that relief would be granted to the mass of tlie community . They had had a fair trial . Yes *
