A Year's Wjli.s in England.—A calendar of
the wills and administrations of the year 1858 (at
least from the 10th of January) has b'een published,
and the registrar-general Ims made some interesting
calculations founded upon it, making an estimate
for the omitted ten days, so as to complete the year.
210,972 adults died in the twelvemonth, and 30.523
persons left personal properly behind them ; 21.653
had made their wills ; the other 9.170 had made
none, and letter* vf administration had to be taken
out; 89 persons with more than £10.009 ; (one
worth above (£190,000) died without making a
Will. The aggregate amount of property left by all
these persons is estimated at £71,800,792, averaging
£2.331 each. Distinguishing between the men and
the women, we hrd that 102.049 adult men died in
the year, aud 21.454 left personal property —for
One who left any, four leaving none ; 108.923 adult
women died, and 93V;? loft personal property. The
average amount left by the men was 2.751 ; by the
women, £1,37 i. Omitting now any estimate for the
first ten days of the year, and dealing only with

—but that docs not include.property-passing from

being then payable; succession duty on real pro
perty was paid upon £29.242.030. and. estimating
that to be taxed to the next successor nt half its
saleable value, it will amount to £58.485.200. On
this assumptidw £i2:i.920,5<l passed by death to
another geucralion of successors. It is certainly a
remarkable fact that (upon an average) on every
death, including alike men, women, and children,
more than £lOO of property-paying legacy duty,
and perhaps £lB7 of property of every kind, is left
for the benefit of successors in the united kingdom.

Father Vkstti:a. —Father Ventura died at
Versailles on Saturday, August 3. in the sixty-ninth
year of his iigc. having been born at Palermo, in
Sicily, in 1792. "When only fifteen years old he
entered, nt the request of his mother, the Jesuit
College of bis native city, and before long was ap
pointed its professor of rhetoric. When the house
was shut up. the young Ventura was admitted as a
novice by the Xbeatins, or regulars of the Congre
gation of Latcrnn. This order was founded in the
beginning of the sixteenth century, by St. G-acta*
nus. and CnrnfiU. then 13ishop of Cliieti. the Tvate
of antiquity, whence the name <; Theatihs.” He
was. nt the proper age. admitted to holy orders,
and devoted himself to preaching, particularly
funeral orations, in which he soon acquired reputa
tion. His panegyric on l’ius VII passed through
twenty editions, and procured for the preacher the
title of i; the Italian Bossuet," while his work,
entitled “ Influence of the Sixteenth Century,” was
considered to be a filling companion to the “ Varia
tions ’* of Ihe great French writer. In 1524 he
was elected general of his order. He was ap
pointed member of a Commission of Censorship,
with Orioli and Michara, who afterwards became
Cardinals: and also with Father Capellari. better
known as Gregory XVI. He obtained nt the same
time the Chair of Ecclesiastical Law, together w ith
the office of Almoner to the University of Rome.
He was employed by Leo XII., who had a high
opinion of his capacity, in negotiating the Concor
dat with tho Duke of Modena. lie brought about
a reconciliation between the Popo and Chateau
briand, then French Ambassador to the Holy See;
and, finally, obtained from the Court of Rome the
fOCOgnition of Louis Philippe as lying ,?+ facto,
though not (Jcjf'rc. His work De JSleihoiio phi
losophazi/li, published in 1828, in defence of the
Christian or scholastic philosophy, brought upon
* him smart attacks from his old friend the Abbe La
menuais. Ventura soon after quitted the Pontifi
cal Court, and during ten years lived apart from
public affairs, devoting himself to the study of the
Scriptures and the Fathers of the Church.

IJIHE WEEKLY PRESS.
THE WEEKLY PRESS
Has been established on a secure and permanent founda
tion ; but it is, in reality, a marvellous example of the
degree of favor which a rightly-conducted
a
LITERARY, POLITICAL, AND NEWS JOURNAL
Can receive at the ha ml 3 of a liberal and enlightened
Public. Our most grateful thanks are tendered for the
patronage already bestowed upon us, and we shall spare
no efforts which may serve to render the paper even more
attractive, useful, nud popular in the future.
The general features of tho Paper, in addition to its
POLITICAL AND NEWS DEPARTMENTS,
Wilt be POETRY, SKETCHES, BIOGRAPHY, and Or!
ginal and .Selected TALKS, chosen for their lessons of
Life, illustrations of History, depicture of Manners, and
general merit, mid ndapted, in their variety, to the faate*
of both sexes and ail age*.
OUR NEWS COLUMNS
Will continue to be subject to unremitting care and atten
tion, and all diligence be employed to make this paper m
compendium of nil tho principal events of interest Whioh
transpire, at home and abroad.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER
Of THE WEEKLY PRESS, ijow uniTertinilj acknow
ledged to be of an elevated stamp, shall not only maintain
its present High Btunding, but shall be enhanced by im
portant and valuable contributions from able Writer!.
Deeming Purity of Morals the great safeguard of private
happiness and public prosperity, we shall carefully ex
clude from our columns everything which may reasonably
be objected to on the score of improper tendency. Tht
fields of pure Literature afford sufficient material to
make an ,
ACCEPTABLE FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
Containing the elements of excellence, without a gingl#
objectionable line; and the proprietor of THE WEEKLY
PRESS may justly claim, that no head of a family need
hesitate to let its columns go under the notice of
member of his Household.
THE POLITICAL COURSE
Of THE WEEKLY TRESS need not bo enlarged a pox
here. Independent, steady, and fearless, it baa battled
unwaveringly nnd zealously in defence of TIIB RIGHTS
OF THE PEOPLE against Exccutivo Usurpation, and
Unfair and Tyrannical Legislation: e ver declaring and
h&tiug to Ihe doctrine that POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
constitutes the fundamental hauls of our free Institution!,
and that the intelligence and patriotism of our Citizen!
will always be preservative of a wise, just, and salutary
Government. These aro the principle* to which TH*
WEEKLY PRESS has been committed, and to these It
