Ia your leading article on Saturday last it it tng ferted that the new ward of the Royal Hospital for Incurables, the rt stone of which was laid ty the Prince of Wales, should be placed on a different footing from tbe rest of tbe hospital, tbe patients to be selected by a committee instead of being elecWd by Totes. Will yoa permit to make it known through Tkt Timtt that thia plan has been carried oat on a small acale for many years, a fund baring been subscribed, by meaes of which a certain number of beds in th Royal Hospital an reserved for patient selected a yoa suggest For some naeon, however, the published reports of the hospital have never alluded to thia fact, and, consequently, very few of tbe general body of subscriber, are probably aware of it. I hope that, in ansaer to your advice, more extended support may be given to this effort, I enclose the last report of the proceedings of this com. toittee, from which yoa may observe that Mr. Richard Arkwright, 8, Cadogan plaee, 6.W., acta as honorary secretary and treasurer.

Our Dublin Correspondent telrgrai bed hut night: The case of 'Sullivan t. in which it wat tought to ittabliah the will of the late Michael Sullivan, formerly M.P. for the city of Kilkenny, wat to day before the Probi.tr and Matrimonial Divition.

The property at stake ma estimated to consist of realty valued at per annum and personalty stated at about The litigants are Miss Sullivan, only surviving sister of tbe testator Mrs Sullivan, the widow; and Mr. Sullivan, the neplmw sLd heir at law. It will be recollecU'd that the case as alove mentinned involved the validity of the will aid codicil, dated reflectively tl.e Sinbof December, 18i3. aud the 24th of January, 1870. The case as to tLe will was aa to whether certain blanks in the instrument drawn up lj Mr.

bhortall had been filled up prior to the date at which the will was in fact executed, or wl.etl er the filling up occurred prior to tbe execution of the codicil. The execution of the codicil was in the presence of ami Thomas Nolan, his clerk but it happened that the latter, without Mr. Hartford's knowledge, left the room jutt aa that gentleman was about to sign tl.e attestation. Subsequently Nolan returned and put his name to the instrument iu the presence of both the testator and Mr. Hartford.

At tlte sit ting of tbe Court to day the President inquired in what osmon me maiicr sioou. air. i.yier saiu a consent ad been signed all tbe 1 artie. Th terms rr. that both will and codicil should be admitted '0 probate, the widow to receive an annuity of 11,000 and the heir at law a groat turn of The President.

Do the parties require any order from the Court Mr. Ly.tcr. All that it required, try Lord.is to make.tl.e lonsent a rule of Court. The tar.ideut said that in ordinary caaea be could not make a decree admitting to probate any documents as to the due execution of which he waa not perfectly satisfied. This wat not so here, because the weight of evidence that the disputed words in the will of the of December, 1SC5, were written by the testator himself prior to the execution of tbe codicil in January, 1870.

It waa not aeetsssnr to refer in detail to the evidence mmn I which be had arrived at this conclusion, inasniuth at let parties had come to a settlement. There wat no controversy at to the mode in which the codicil was executed, and tbe question for consideration was simply one of law whether all the parties should sign in tbe presence of each other. His Lcrd.hip then re tiewed at torn length tbe law and authorities bearing upon the point, aad ultimately held that turn lignatuie in precoe of rath other wat not required by tie btatnt of Will, and that tb sfictMsa of Lord Brougham in the cat of Casement v.

St. Lrger.tb winner of the Irish championship. Tbe latter was a long way tb best favourite, but was rather easily overthrown by the Yorkshire representative, who throughout all the sets played in the most wonderful way, returning balls that teased almost impossible to get back in any shape or form over th nets. Though the rain bad been very heavy in tb' night, the lawn wer in a very ri tttte for playing, great care having been taken rolling them during tn morning. Considerably over 1.000 people were on th groand, and th interest shown ia every rally was something remarkable.

Tbe form of both the competitors waa far aad away superior to anything that we hare yet seen in any lawn tennis matches, tbe returns not only being splendid both a to height and aharpness, but also very good a to tb placing. Mr. Hartley won th first set by six game to two, th second by six to four, and also tb third by six to two. The first and tcood set wr the best contested, three of tbe games in each being called "deuce." The certainty of Mr. Hartley's returns was most marvellous, ball after ball being tent back which most players would bare given up as bopelet.

Yesterday morning, Mr. John Clow, th coroner for tb borough of Derby, held an inquest on the body of Joseph Moss, li, a police constaklc. Mr. Haxtall appeared to watch tb eaa on behalf of tb accused, who waa not present. Colonel William Addis Delacombs put in tb depositien of tb deceased, which was aa follows I was in the police office to day, about half past 4, and I assisted to tak two prisoners into the station house.

On was a man and tbe other a woman. I was steading clot to th man when the other officers were taking the woman into tbe cell. The man lifted a revolt er ap and Stand back I'll have no more of thia. 1 heard a report, and felt a thot in my right tide, and fell down. I said: 1 am Inspector Spibey, Constables Price, Shirley, and Clamp were present.

1 remember nothing more until 1 found myself her. I heard three report of a shot, two after I waa shot. mak this declaration believing that I am about to di." Colonel Dalaeomb then repeated th evidanca gar on Monday. Police constabl John Clamp deposed, On Saturday I was on duty in the Corn market, about 20 minute past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when I taw Mainwaring in company with a woman. They were together in a trap, tb prisoner, who was drunk, driving at a rapid pace along Victoria street and Wardwick.

1 shouted after them to stop, but they did not do to, and I immediately raa after them. Police constable 8hirley, 1 perceived, by this time was la pursuit of them. I overtook Shirley against Cheapside, act! Moss in Friar gate. At this time tb prisoner was just driving under the Great Northern railway bridge. Her he lashed the horse violently, and the animal dashed oil at a furious rate up Ashhourne road.

In company with th other offieert I followed th prisoner to the Travellers' Rtl publichoua on tb Ashbourne road. He had pulled up in face of tbe enirance gaic. Th prisoner, saw, wa very drunk, and Shirley at once took charge of th horse and trap. Mos and myself took tLe prisoners into custody and conveyed them to the policsratatioo in a cab, Shirley following oa with tbe trap. I had the custody of the woman, whose name was Anni Green.

She was very violent in the cab, whereupon Mainwaring remarked, Sit stilt. I shall have a lot to pay for thia. it will cost me 100." On arriving at tbe police station, Mos cam to assist in getting Mainwaring out of th cab. Alter we got into th lock up Inspector Spibey cam in. Spibey asked the nature of the charge, and we explained it.

At this tim Mainwaring wa standing with hi elbow on the counter in a loaning petition. Toe femal prisoner waa, very violent, and Inspector Spibey directed that the should be removed first. Thereupon the tmacked me in the face with her left band saying, I am not going to be locked np." Mow then attempted to gt hold o( ber, and Price cam round tb counter saying, We can bar no more of this." The woman continued her violent conduct, and Mosa again tried to get hold of ber. Mainwaring moved backward, a few yards behind the screen, and aaid, Will you at that moment addressing Most. Almost instantly af terwanle I heard a thot fired, and the deceased cried out twice, Ob, I am shot." On turning round I taw Mainwaring with a revolver in hit rignt band.

After ahooting Moat tbe prisoner pointed the pistol toward Price, and discharged it again. 'Price closed in with prisoner, shouting out, Oh, 1 am shot in tbe arm." Another thot wat tired, and then I released myself from the woman and rushed at the prisoner. Inspector Spibey and Police constable Shirley almost at the same moment ran from behind tbe screen and caught bold of the prisoner. A fourth ahot waa then bred, and Spibey aaid, have got it," referring to the revolver. then searched the prisoner whilst he was on the floor.

I saw Spibey take some papers and two coins from the prisoner a pocket. The accused remarked, I havengot nothing more." I saw the bullet hole through the helmet that Police constable Price was wearing at the time. Price wa in a stooping position at tb time aaa ahot aa though be waa doing so to prevent being shot. By Mr. HrxtalL, Mosa did not push Mainwaring at all in coming forward to assist me la struggling with th woman.

1 do not think Mos touched Mainwaring at all. Police constable John Shirley. On tbe 12th about 10 minutes past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I waa on duty in the Wardwick. I saw Mainwaring aud a lady cosing front th direction of Victoria street in a trap. Both th occupant, of the trap appeared to be drunk, and were driving in a daaeroua manner.

I stepped oft the paement, put my hanu up; ami shouted to them to stop. I followed them up the Aahbourne ruad, and caught them at the Rest." 1 there took th reins from Mainwaring I hand and told bim 1 should charge him with being drunk in charge of a burse and trap. He said, It' all right what ar you going to hav to drink I said, Nothing, Sir." lie said, My father wat a magistrate at btatford. Come and have something to drink and say no more about it." 1 then turned tbe horse round and told Mainwaring that lie mutt go with me to the police station, li said, "Jump on behind; I will drive yoa down." I said, No 1 shan't let yoa have aay further charge of it at all." Police oousUl les CLamp and Moss met Mainwaring. and the woman in the gateway and took them in a cab to the police station.

followed wi.h the trap, and went into the lock up. Clamp, Price, Moss, lnsctor Spibey, and Mrs. Spibey were there with Mainwaring and the young woman. 1 went round to the desk to give the charge to the inttcctor, and was just telling him the charge when 1 heard a pistol fired. I saw Moss fall back and exclaim "Oh, I am shot." 1 did not hear Mainwaring say anything at all previously to firing.

He was drunk, but could hav walked if at liberty. To a juror. The accused pointed tbe pistol at theofheers, I am sure be pistol did not, accidentally go off. I should not have locked the prisoner up for being Urunk if be had not been in charge of a horse and cart. When I got np to him at the Travellers' Rett I found be was not so drunk as I had anticipated.

Inspector Spibey then repeated the evidence he gave before the magistrates. By Mr. Hextall. Not more than two seconds elapsed from the tr.t ta tho third shot. The jury returned a vtrdict of "Wilful murder" against Gerald Mainwaring, and he wat committed for trial.

Thb Law of PaET.vEtunir. Mr. Sampson Lloyd proposes to introdkca into England aad Ireland a ay.Win of limited partnership corresponding to the Continental Societes en Commandite, and the special or limited partnership! authorized by statute in moat of the United States. He also advocates a general system cl registration of firms. Under this scheme no registration would be requited if the firm name consist of the fall usual names of all th partneri or tall the acting part airs without any addition.

Thus tbe name of a dormant partner in a. general partnership need not appear as long as tte firm name is composed solely of real Barnes of existing partners. ifafirm registers at all, it must register, fully and limited partnership and partnerships the firm nam cf which contains anything beyond names cf actual partners must register in every cat. The particulars which the scheme requires to be registered are (1) the firm came (2) tb nature of the business (3) the place or place of tbe business (4) the fall nam, usual residence, and ether occupation tif any) of the person or persons carrying on or intending to carry on the' business and t5Vwith regard to new business or establishments, tb date of the eomtoene mnt of th business or suMuhment of th place of basins. Lloyd's Bill, embodying these proposals, also consolidate, th existing law relating to partnership, xcept the part which mors properly belong to tbe law of bankruptcy.

Tb enca of th nob! lord, who wa a witness of hi success, aad who bad so ably promoted bis exertion, grwatly abancd th gratifa ation of the meeting, and tb time was at band when tb Coaserrativaa of Christ church would again do themschre th honour of electing bim as their re preventative in Parliament.

The meeting was held in tbe Tosm hall, th Mayor of Christ, charch, Mr. G. Ferrey, presiding. Sir 11. D.

Wolff, who wa greeted with load cheers, in replying to the address, aaid that th kindness which bad been extended to him had. been enhanced by the cordiality of the reception which bad been given to bis noble fries 1, who bad acted ia co operation with bim, and who ia the execution of tb daties which had fallen to bis shar bad shown a soundness of judgment, a seal, and an energy which had contributed largely to secure success out of complication which war apparently hopeless. He must alto aay that a great portion of th success which bad attended the efforts of his nobis friend and himself was do to the generous support which, utxlrr circuT sUECet of great difficulty, they had received from Her Majesty's Government. (Hear, The Government were, thought, right in selecting two members of the Legislature for tbe duty which bad to discharged by tbe European Commission, because tbey felt those to whom they bad intrusted the performance of that duty were under a responsibility not only to tbe1rSovreign and the Government, but that tbey were liable to be called to account for anything they might da ia their place in Parliament. And what was it that his noble friend and himself had been called upon to do i They had been called upon to estatlish in a country which bad not hitherto enjoyed it eonstit tional liberty.

They all knew waat had occurred in the European province of Turkey. Tbey all knew that foe many years tbe Christian at the country had been subject to bad government, which equally extended tn tbe Mussulman subjects of tbe Sultaa. For th last four year the whole world had been conrolsed by th ambitious proceedings of a country which was never satiated, and what the commissioners had to do was to establish a barrier against the ambition of Rossis, while tbey at the same time afforded protection to tbe subject population of the Porte. Tbe Treaty of Berlin, which he believed to be aa act of tbe greatest political wisdera and also a most successful one, laid down that tbe political and military authority of the Sultan ahould be established in Eastern Roomelia, while tbe inhabitants of. tbe prorisc were to enjoy ministrativ autonomv ttat was to say, that for all external purposes, ana a a barrier against Russia, tbey were to be subjects of tbe Port, while, at th same tim, they were to bat the pleasure of self government and local administration, which bad insured tbe bsppines and prosperity of this country, and which ought to exist in avery European tate.

(Hear, bear.) Not that was a state of things which, be was happy to aay, be believed bad been established in Eastern Kouioelia. (Hear, hear.) It would, howeier, be a curious fact in future history that the very country which now practically rejected all constitutional change waa Russis, which tset itself np to be the defender of the constitutional right of other nations. (Hear, hear.) Th instructions given to hi noble friend and himself wer that they should establish tb liberite of tb Bulgarian and th nationalities of Eastern Roumelia on the laws of the vilayets and the Iat protocol of the Conference of Constantinople. The laws of tbe vilayets bad been acknowledged even by tb Russians to be sound aad generous acts of legislation. Prince Tcherkassky, who was employed until his death in organizing tbe' new provinces which bad fallen under Russian towr, declared that the law of the vilayets wer good, and that it was only tb practice of them which was defective.

Tbey all knew that in tbe Conference at Constantinople Lord Salisbury advocated the largest measure of reform and the greatest liberty for tbe subject of th Porte living in the European provinces. What had the commissioners, uader the circumstances1, to do Tby bad tocoasult vast aad different interests. They found in Eastern Roumelia three principal nationalities, each having distinct rights, consecrated by tin aad history. There were th Bulgarians children of th soil toe Mussulmans, who had for a long time been the dominant race and the Greeks, who bad been tbeapiritaal superiors of tb Christian churches of Bulgaria, and whose intelligence and enterprise entitled them to vary great influence and very great privileges, besides, the commissioner bad to establish the principle of religious equality to that the Armenians ware well treated, that the Jews bad their rights and also to establish that tbe sect of Protestant Bulgariaas.who had hitherto been entirely ignored, ahould enjoy the same rights as their fellow countrymen. In the accomplishment of that task, tbey bad, be was happy to aay, succeeded.

(Hsar, bear.) 11 did not wish to Arrogate I the entire merit of tb success to themselves, for tbey had with them the Austrian, French, and even the Turkish commissioners, and tbeir Turkish colleague war foremost in their endeavour to establish a wid and liberal Policy. (Hear, hear.) It. would net be fair, be might add, if be did not recogniz tb wish cf th Rnssisa commissioners consider with them in doing what they could for the benefit of tbe various province. (Hear, bar) There were frequently divergence of opinion but all the commissioner wer of opinion that a European commission could only establish a European state of things, aad that while they erected a political barrier against the aggression of Russia, they were at the same time bound to secar the liberties of the people of the Turkish provinces. Having made aa allusion to the disposition of Turkey, be might say that at tbe present moment the Turkish Government were prompted with a deair to establish tb earn liberties in other province as in hasten Koumelia.

heard oa the highest authority ia Turkey that those who bad in tbeir bands th destinies of th country desired to decentralize that power, which bad not been well used when centralized in the Porte, and, while establishing the right of th Sultan as Sovereign, to giv to tb population the fullest privileges of sell government. For hi own part, he waa more than ever impressed with the necessity of giving constitutional rights to a people. Ia Raasia tbr was a deplorabl state of things, owiagto the absence nn the part th people of aay ahareiatbe government 'of the country. Now, by Article 23 of tbe Treaty of Berlin th Port was bound to introduce into tbe province of European Turkey reforms which would secure th teople of those provinces rights analogous to those which were enjoyed by other European States. The Port had been blamed for not having before the present time introduced tb reform which had been promised but the fact wa that, whil tb European Commission wa engaged in elaborating an organic statute which had now passed into law, th Turkish Government felt tny 'had better wait till tbe document waa prepared, so that thy might borrow from it that which might seem to them to be adapted to th other provinces and he sale to add that they were so pleased with the work of tb Commiwioa that thy intended to adapt it not only to tbe European but as far a they could to the Asiatic provinces of the Empire.

(Hear, hear. Ha would not trouble tb meeting by atericg into an explanation of the different clauses of tb work don by tb Commission suffice it to say, that it embraced the amplest privilege for tbe people and prevented the "possibility of. their being ignored, because tbe administration of tb rights and institutions which had been established had been intrusted to the 'hands of the people' themselves. (Hear, lie wished, in the next place, to say a word about the of Berlin. It was an instrument which, in his opinion, was wise ia its conception and tb result of th most skilful diplomatic action.

We had, owing to the course which Lad been taken by Her Majesty's Government, succt ex.cd in obtaining i a tbe Esst an influence and in stabhaaitg principle which had never hitherto been established except at th end of a long By tht activity, energy, and firmness of our representatives at th Congress at Berlin, bad been enab.ed to say to a nation whose only object wa to extend her dominion in Europe to tb detriment of th other European nations, and which possessed a despotic form of got eminent which, at the present time, was leing used most formidably against tbe liberties of the people, lhus far thalt thou go, and no further." (Cheers.) We knew that if Russia ena obtained a footing oa th shores cf tbe Mediterranean, and at the same time seemed the command of the Bo phorus, there would be nothing to prevent her from taking into her hands the command of tb whole of Asia. (Uar, hear. Th first Napoleon when, after the Treaty of Tilsit, it was asked whether it would not be well to give Coutaa tinople to Russia, said "Mo. I cannot do that, becaus Cou tUntinople ia tbe key of the world." (Jlear, her.) Well, the designs of Russia had been put an end to by the action of England, which, rightly or wrongly, had been en firmed by tbe concurrence af all the other states of xwrp. It was wid, however, that Turkey had not leen i rotnpt in executing the ttipulalioes of the Treaty of Berlin.

Sh had, however, given up to Vustria those provinces which had been assigned to her by the treaty, and to Scrvia aad Roumania, all to which tbey wer entitled under its provision. knew that last yar, whea she endeavoured to carry out the treaty in a hurry, sh 'lost one of her most famous officers, and that the met PashaVnd hi suite had been sacrificed by tbe unpopularity of it. to tbe question of Greece, he would not enter infjtit upon that occasion, because it was the sub jest of negotiations and because it would, in all probability, be shortly brought undr the notice, of th House Commons. As to the execution of the Treaty of Berlin, however, he would point out that there wr some clauses in the Treaty of Vienna which bad aever ba executed, and that all the provisions of the Treaty of Paris had not been executed until very atrong measures had been taksa by the English Government to enforce them; whil in the case of the Alahama claim the only stipulation which was in favour of England had nerer been carried into effect.

TUE ZULU WAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, Some farther information concerning Cetywtyo't peac overture has jest reached me from the Bishop of Natal, la a letter dated June 15 the Bishop says It is expected here that Lord Chelmsford will now mak a puab to bring tbe war to a kwe before be is ousted of the eornmanii, either by making a forced march to Ulundi, which I very much doubt bis sioia; without exieriesciaganothsruisaster a grave a any he has had already, and that oa all accounts would be greatly to be dspmrad, or else by comrncrseisg negotiations for peace. And lor this last be has a capital opportunity' at tbe present moment. Not only ha Sintwaugu by all accounts) been tent back by bim to the King with a message that he must tend in the two euntared casaoa at a preliminary to any peac negotiations, but Let Thursday our old friends lafonzi and 2fkisiasane wer brougLt down bearing a whit flag tvs Maritaborg ty tolicemen from Mr, Fyan, resident magistrate at the Imsinga.

It would seem that thy did not care to (tote at Kranx Kop (wberer they had been furmerly hrtd upoe). and did not go to the military authorities but to the civil magistrate, who sent thera down "to Sir Henry Bui wer. lie would have nothing to say tbm. and traissfemd them to Uneral Cutiord wno examined then onrrulay evening, and aent them off yesterday to Lord Cbelasfora. Pour old fellows i Tbey had 150 nlila 'or more of walking from Ulundi to Mantzlorg, and sow tbey will bare 150 or mora of walking fcs reach the General.

The sutlook would probably be much more promising than it is if Bishop Celrnso bad been permitted to accompany on of tbe Zulu etahastues oa itr retara to Ulundi.
