The Will of the Late Artemaa Ward.
As conflicting accounts have been circulated
respecting the disposal of Mr. Brown's property,
we append the following as the substance of his
bequests:
To the children of Mr Kingston (his agent), two In
number, be leaves each &M)o.
To bis mother he leaves a life Interest in the whole
of his real estate, the value of wblcn Is at least f i"inx),
and at her death It nasies into the bands of Horace
C4reeley,as trustee, for the purpose of founding uu
asylum lor decayed printers.
His library Is to be competed for by the boys at pre-,
sent receiving their education at the school in which
Mr. Brown was educated.
The rest ot his personalty is devoted to tne object or
providing for the education of Ueorge (Stevens, an in
telligent youth of fourteen, wbo hag been bis constant
attendant and companion for I lie last two years. The
will provides for his apprenticeship for two years in
a pruning ntllce, and then bis removal to college for
the perfecting ot bis education. Mr. Brown stated
that ills object In wishing Ueorge to go first into &
Firinting oliice was, "that he might ascertain bow
ittie he knew, and how Important it was to learn."
His funeral took place at Kensal Green Ceme
tery on Saturday, the 9tli of March. The mourn
tul procession started from the residence of
Charles Millward, Esq., one of his most cherished
Jriends. The hearse was drawn by four tine
black borsr-s. and it was followed by four car
riages, each Laving lour horses. The first car
riage contained Mr. Hinsston, George Steveus,
and Dr. Crolt. The second was occupied by
the tnplish pall-bearers Andrew Ilalliday,
Charles Millwurd, lorn Hood, J. L. Toole;
the third by the American pall-bearers
Major Charles S. Dix, Mr. Ed. Curtis, of
New York, Laurence Barrett, ot New York. A
t'hadbourne, of California; the iourth by Lon
don literary friends. The carriaee ot the Ame
rican Minister, occupied by the Secretary of
Legation, carre next; men the private
broughams of Messrs. Halliday, Toole, Hood,
Pond. Bothern, and others in all, twenty car-
rages. About sixty members of the Savage
Club, of whnh Artcmus hud been elected a
member, joined the procession at the entrance
of the Cemetery, as aid also tue principal mem
bers of the literati ot London, the leading
actors, authors, etc.
Tne beautiful service of the Church of Eng
land was read by the rector in a most impres-
sive manner, and when he came to the wurds.
"earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust,"
the coffin gradually disappeared, by machinery,
into the catacombs below the church. Ladies
closed around the mouth of the tomb, and show
ered beautilul Mowers upon the cotiin.
Alter the service had been concluded, Mr. M.
I. Couwav, by special request of the Savage
Club, addressed the large assemblage. The
church was crowded to suffocation. The follow
ing is a very imperfect sketch, as the crowd ren
dered it impossible to tuko a rep rli

was closely followed by tragedy. In the ground
Where they were assembled lay many brilliant and
line wits, wuose memories were intimately as
sociated with our delights, and also with our tears
for their loss, lor their owu sorrows, and, as too
often happened, for their early deaths, llow often did
it mijipeii vntu moralizing on tne rate or tne man
of lchnlte, jest and humor must be made,. as in
the l'ly of Hamlet on Ids skull, Aud how melan

lost, convulsed with laughter at his brilliant BrtUilis,
auu oengmeu wuu tne nne touches or his humor, he
was wasting away before them, and that the Hushes of
his eye were mingled with the Fame lire that was con
suming his lllu. There was something in ail this; but
tbe rellectlou was ttill more meluncholv that he
should die in a strange country, far uway from bis
native land, and tar uwuy from tliut mother
in whose arms be hud longed to expire, blill be
hud been here surrounded by friends, and tended
by them with feelings true and genuine, a tact that he
(Mr. Conway) was sure the countrymen of deceased
would never forget. That was not the place to dwell
on any criticism upon bis works. Tbe verdict of the
entire llterury world had been given on the subject,
aud that verdict placed him in the ranks of
the liuest and most exquisite humorists of his
time. They all knew how line, how bright, and how
delicate were theseiislbilitles which were required to
make up a man of lino and genuine humor, and the
verdict given In both countries In respect to him
would, he was sure, be confirmed by posterity. In
Aripmaa Ward 'there was no meanness, no coarse
ness, no vice. He hud lived in the public eye trom
Ida vouih unward. Jlehad been known, while yet a
boy. as an editor of a paper in tar Ohio. He bad also
been known In the same capacity in New York and
Han FrancIsM, and all tbe way from New York to
Han Francisco. Thus he was a man who had lived
i.. ma nohlln eve and been criticized during his
whole lifetime, and he (Mr. Conway) would venture
to aliirm tuat ue nau never iuei wii.ii uu wuom
be had not mt.de his friend, and never lost a friend
mat be had once made. He had never used
i.i. trrxut noweru of humor for that biting pur
rose which ww buplled lu iuo wwi vmcmuu but had.
nil through touched with the most delicate humor the
fol des and the weaknesses of the nge In wnich he
lived. He had been a man not only of humor, but a
man of good humor, lln limi never made an enemv,
and tin re wi s no man who did not feel that he was
the I etter for having known him. Affect Ultimo and
t-lmple as a child a fine fancy and tine Intellect, he
possessed the highest elevntiou ol characer, and all
who knew him felt that with him bail p issed away
a fine, genial spirit, as true a gentleman as ever
lived. Fversince his landing In this cnnntrv bn bad
been taken by the hand In a feeling ot generosity and
sympathy sympathy so deep that It was cnlefl'
owing to It thnt he bad not returned to his native
hind when he felt that the climate of the country did
dM not agree with him. This was highly crelltable
to the republic of leittrs, and would tend to cement
n feeling of brotherhood between those of tbe two
countries.

reached here on the 19th inst., and were exten
sively circulated by the local press of this city
ai d Brownsville. There is no truth iu them.
Mo news of the general engagement had been
received in San Luis Potosi up to the '28th of
February.
Maximilian, who had moved out of Quere'aro
on the 24th ultimo, had returned; aud tbe Libe
rals had advanced their lines to within seven
miles of Qucretaro. Heavy guns had been sent
to the front from San Luis, where President
Juarez is still sojourning. Humors of an at
tempted arrangement by Maximilian with the
Liberal Government are rife. Quiroga is said lo
have been defeated at Zelayu. Juarez will soon
issue a decree declaring that the relations of
commerce and amity between France and
Mexico have ceased, and ordering all Freneh
ieidents out of tbe country unlesRthey bucouie
naturalized citizens ot Mexico.
Cortinas makes professions of obedienre to the
Government of President Juarez. He bn been
ordered to the interior. The whole SUte of

French View of Maximilian' Situation
and Actloua
The Paris Opinion tVationQie, March 7, says:
It is known that at the moment wuen'Mar-
snal Eazaine etlected his retreat from Mexico
to Vera Cruz, tbe;Kepu'ol'cati Generals Alvarez
and Portirio Diaz were threatening the capital
from a southwest direction, by way ot Toluca
and Cuernavaca. It was then that the Emperor
Maxinnliau cawsed all his silver to be melted,
converted it into dollars, and with a corps ot
;000 men, followed, no doubt, by all whose in
terest it was to quit Mexico, marched north,
where, It is said, he met and defeated Carvaial.
It seems that, if Maximilian had desired to
preserve his capital he would have first offered
battle to the stroneest and nearest of his ene
mips that is, Porfino Diaz. In eolng north he
crosses an immense country, occupied by 40,000
Juaiists, in scattered bodies, which he could de
leat one after another. Tnis inarib would
enable him to retreat to Texas after his last
cmnpa'gn, and to e nibark at Galveston or New
Orleans, thus avoiding the personal unpleasant
ness or again accepting tne protection or t ranee.

Masonic temple; at 10'30 it began to move,
myiinds of banners flying in the breeze, and
strains irom a dozen bauds testifying the popu

was immense, the streets, sidewalks, windows,
and even roofs of buildings along the line
ot march being densely thronged with specta
tors; waving ot handkerchiefs and shouts of
admiration from the assembled thousands, who
testified their appreciation of the brilliaut spec
tacle, and the delight at the prospect of regaling
themselves hencelorth with water free from all

ot the different comroanderies of Knights Tem

Washington, March 26.
Trial of American Citizens In Canada.
The following is the complete document
heretofore transmitted by the President to the
House, in compliance with a resolution of that
body:
Toronto, March 11. Sir: I have the honor
to Inform you that the Court of (Queen's Hench
cave Judimient on Maturdny last, in the caso of
Patrick McUrath, one of the Fenian prisoners,
and that they have confirmed the con vlotioa.
You will recollect that I'utrick McUrain was
ti led at the November court (for participation
in the Fenian raid of June last), as a citizen of
the United States, and acquitted. At the Janu
ary court lie was tried a second time, ou
another Indictment., for the same ofTunso, as a
British subject. To tne latter indictment I re
commended him to plead a pica of autrefois
acquit, besides pleading over to the fulotiy. He
whs convicted on the felony, and the question
raised on the pleuof aiUrcoix ariuit was reserved
by Mr. Justice Morrison for the opinion of the
Court of queen's liench.
Chief Justice Draper gave a long and elabo
rate Judgment in support of the views of the
Court. It certainly required an elaHorateJtidg
iiient to sustain the views adopted hy the Court
In this case. I am much disappointed, as not
withstanding the elaborate judgment delivered
by the Court, my reason Is not convinced of its
Boldness. The understanding heretofore
ninong lawyeiB has been that a man In this
country could not, be placed twice lu jeopardy
for the same oHense, and that It mattered
nothing whether the first acquittal was the re
sult of a technical dillleulty, or an error of the
Judge. If the ollonso was substantially the
same, lie could not be tried iv second time. The
Court in this instance has departed from this
time-honored principle. There is no appeal;
so tne matter iuii4 rest. The judgment iu this
case may be said to end the Fenian trials.
The results of the trials lu which I was con
cerned are as follows:

So that there have been twenty-two acquittals
and nineteen convictions. John II, Mechlean
was discharged, the grand Jury having found no
bill against him.
The Kev. John McMahon and Robert B. Lynch
were tried before 1 wus retained, so that I could
not Include them In the list of prisoners de
fended by me; but after thelrcotivtctlon I made
an application for a new trial lu their behalf.
The original number of Fenian prisoners
lodged in the military prison here was ciuety
Blx or nlnety-seveu, and out of this number
there have been but twenty-one convictions.
In summing up the result of these eventful
State trials, it is due to you that I should ac
knowledge the valuable assistance I received
from you throughout in suggesting proper
courses to be adopted. In getting up evidence,
and In securing the attendance of witnesses at
the several trials.
As considerable expense has been incurred
In securing the attendance of the necessary
witnesses at the court from the United States
and distant parts ol Canada, it U but right to
say, that without tbe attendance of theso wit
nesses the defenses would have been a failure,
nod many of the twenty-two acquittals would
have resulted in convictions, I believe In
almost every cuse the several witnesses were
sent for on my opinion thnt their attendance
was absolutely necessary to sustain the defenses
In the cases in which they were required to
attend.
I feel bound to add that the duties you had to
discharge at this place in regard lo the Fenian
trials were not of the most pleasant character,
and required adroitness and prudence in deal
ing with them. When it became known that
the United States Government interested itself
iu behalf of its own citizens Incarcerated In
our jails as Fenians, and intended to provide
counsel for such of them as were iudigeut, you
had to encounter the prejudice of the commu
nity, but tbe prudent and the straightforward
course pursued by you lu this matter helped to
remove these prejudices, and enabled you to
carry out the eud In view without diminishing
In the least tlie public and personal respect
which is due to you ns the Consul of the United
Stntesfrom the people among whom you live.
I have the honor lobe, sir, your obedient
servnnt, K. Mackb-nzik.

TheCoiuinonwealthclosod, aud the Court adjourned

THIS MOHNTNO'S SKSSION.
Mr. O'ltryan opened lor the defense, saying that it
would he proven conclusively to tne Jury, that Smith
was compelled to take means to prevent His own lite
bi mil taken. He had no idea of going into the hotel;
but panning that way a friend asked him to go lu aud
lake a drink, and he would auk the Jury to reuder'a
verdict of not guilty.
The examination of witnesses fur the defense wus
then commenced
fimllh Huston sworn I have known John A. Smith
ahotit twelve years: I remember the night of the
sliooting; I met him aiiou 7 o'clock, neur Second and
Li nihurd; he wus going up Second street, I was going
down; I asked him where be wus going; he said no
w here In particular; 1 asked him to tuke a drink : he
Bind, w nere snail we go : 1 sum 10 wuig'ey s; we
went there: I pushed the door open, and he went in
al. pad of me; 1 saw a crowd of men In there
talking; among them wus Lukens; he rushed at
Smith and said, You are the I have
been looking for; Smith went Into the room about four
or live tent; I was between him and the door; Lukens
was knocking arouud the bar-room In a wild sort of
way, cursing and swearing; I guess I saw hlru when
he first saw bmltlr be stopped and looked at Win,
made use of the expression I mentioned, and
ran at him with one hand in his pocket fumb
ling It, and 1 be other away from his body;
be ran toward Smith, who said he wanted
blra to keep away from him: he backed on to me; he
kept coming on after him; I got out of his way; I
didn't see Lukens shit: I heird the report; he was
al out three feet from Smith when he was shot; when
the 'pistol was fired I was behind the door; I 8aw
Lukens after the pistol was fired; be ran towards the
bar; grabbed after the pitcher that was on It; 1 didn't
know what become ot bmlih, I went out.
Mr. bwlgbt objected. The Jury weie to try Smith
for what took place that night, and must say whether
lie was Justllied in taking a lite or not.
The Court decided to admit the evidence, as rebut
tine to threats, but not as to general character.
Mr. Uotbrth desired to introduce evidence as to an
occurrence which took place two or three weeks
previous to the shooting, lo show that Lukens
attempted to carry out a threat which he then made
when he advanced towards Smith and made use of the
ex nresslon.
Crohs-examined I opened the door of the box entry

not hing in Smith's hands before or alter the shooting;
I d ill 11 t see him wheu he went out; I didn't hear
Smith say "You big , I have got you;" tlie bar
room I should Judge was about M or 8.1 feet long, and
about 16 feet In width: the Lombard street door is
about 12 or 14 feet from tbe Second street door; I
barin't taken anything to drink that day.
