Y.. tho other day, to offer for probate the last will of their father, executed Nov. '.. 182. At the same time counsel appeared to contest this will, offering in its stead one dated Januarv. 1871. The contestants are Samuel Sinclair, Richard H. Manning and Charles Storrs. Counsel for the contestants thought the will executed by Mr. Gieeley before his death did great injustice, inasmuch as it gave all his property to Mise Ida, with the qualification that one-half of it was to be used by her at her own discretion, to support and educate her sister Gabrielle, and that some relatives would be deprived of property intended for them. The Misses Greeley then declined to consider any proposals for compromise, and regular proceedings for the contest will ensue, on the ground of the incapacity of the testator to execute the will of 1872. The Italians who intrusted themselves to a band or emigrant awindlers, who contracted to take them to South America but abandoned them in New York in hopeless destitution, are now lying at Castle Garden in a starving condition.

A large meeting was held in New Orleans, on the 11th, of itizens who regard the action of Judge Durell and the Custom House faction as an invasion of thoir rights. The peeches, one of which was by Gov. Warmoth, were temperate in tone. The Governor ad

vised that an appeal bo made to Congress for redress.

The President and family attended the wedding of ex-Secretary Borie's niece, at Philadelphia, last week. I Senator Ames has resigned from the Military Committee, upon which at the last session he wa. fourth, and Logan fifth. The acticn of the Seuate in rearranging the committees this session, placing Logan second, with the design of making him Chairman when Wilson resigned, was very distasteful to Mr. Ames.

They suggest the prolongation of Thiers' term four years, the election of a Vice President, the partial renewal of the Assembly yearly, the establishment of the principle of Ministerial responsibility, the creation of a second Chamber, and the settlement of the relations between the Executive and Legislative Departments. Gambetta, together with Louis Blanc and the other French Radicals, has issued a manifesto, in which he demands that the National Assembly be dissolved and a new election held, in order to secure an Assembly free from the factions that disable the present body, and undivided in its support of Thiers and the Republic .

THE LAST HORROR. liurnlna- of re Portion of the New Vork Fifth Avenue Hotel-Kir vrn Srrvnut Girls Ilursril to Itouth. The list of horrors that arc charged to the account of the closing year has had a most deplorable addition in the fire at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in New York. Eleven human ciuders. and pecuniary dam.gc to the amount of $1M),000. are the net results of the calamity. A New York paper gives the following particulars of the terrible affair : The fire originated iu the Twenty-third street wing, occupied bv the 50 servants employed iu the hotel, through which a wooden spiral stairwav runs from top to bottom, und also the laundry elevator. The stnoko vas first detected by a gentleman boarder about retiring to bed. "who informed the clerk. The alarm was given, and when the employes of the house reached the upper stories, occupied by the servants, the flame had gained funous headway on the top floor where the spiral staircase was ablaze. The servants iu the fifth and sixth stories were roused with difficult?. sod escaped hurriedly iu their night dresses. By this time consternation had spread among the guests, nearly all of whom vacated the premises more or less panic-stricken. The scrub-women, occupying two rooms in the seventh story, were completely cut off from escape bv the stairwav. A window opened on the roof, a few feet below, but it was barred up by a strong iron grating, intended to prevent any ingress troni the tpiarters of the late serveuts. It is said this grating could have been readier wrenched loose bnt tho women who per.shod had doubtless lost all presence of mind, for their roasted bodies weie found huddled together in the center of the room. The fire originated probably through th carelessness of some of the female servants, and crept rapidly upward botW the lath partition to the wooden cockloft, covered with tarred roof, where the unfortunate women perished. It must have been burning so tue time before the alarm was given. The bodies of the victims were taken in ambulances to the Morgue. The scene at the Morgue w.vs truly heartrending. From H o'clock until 5 a constant stream of men and women viewed the bodies of the unfortunate women who were binned or scalded to death iu the fire-trap attic. It is estimated that over 25,00) persons viewed the charred remains, most of whom were attracted by morbid curiosity, though many were searching for relatives and friends who had leeii employed in the hotel. The police had great difficulty m restraining women, thousands of whom clamored for admission. When many of them commuted tne terrinio sight, thev hegan a terrible weeping, preying, and deported themselves extravagantly. Several were led off in a fainting condition, and one young womau, who was accompanied by her mother, fell in a fit and was removed by force. The bodies were ranged side by side, in rough pine coffins, in the vard at the western end of the Morgue. Several among the deceased had been burned almost to ciuders, while othets had been literally roasted. Iu some instances the fiesh was scalded from the bones. The lhrald editorially says it is stated that gross carelessness was apparent in the condition of the wanning apparatus, and that there was too much anxiety to keep the tire a secret, and too little effort made to save Hie unfortunate girls. The whole subject will no doubt be thoroughly investigated. The loMses'are estimated at from $130,000 to $150,000. Western Patents.
