HIGHLY INTERESTING FROM CHINA. Additional Intelligence of the Rebellion. Movements of the American Commissioner. 7O THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Caxton, April 10, 1853. Enclosed I send you the China Mail, published at Hong Kong of the 7th inst. Itis generally suppoced Nanking isin the hands of tbe rebels, aud so will go the empire, We are all quiet here. Com. Perry, with the Mississippi, ar- rived on the 7th inst. f [From the China Mail, April 7) We have news from Shanghae to the 23th March, when nothing was certaiuly known of the fate of Nanking, though rumors of is baving been taken, by the rebels were very general, But tough Nanking ts within 200 miles, communication seems either to have been stopped or it te ke, seere: by the Chinese authorities, who have adopt- ed» summary mode of shutting the mouths of gessips. Having iscued & prociammation enjoining the people quiet, to wud their own aflaire, and nos create alarms by spread- ing rumors evout the rebels, they have caused one or two reons in the city ty be seived and dambood for saying jaoking had been taken, slieging they must be in com- munication with the rebels if they cam speak so positive- Jy about their doings. But it is prebable the local authorities at Shanghae are themselves indtilerently informed; and if they kaow anything positively, it may be inferred that Nanking still holos out; for the Taoutae has bonght two square- rigged foreign Vessels, and charteced a third, to proceed to the rescue of the city, The chartered vessel is an ‘American receiving ship, and the purpose of sending her must be, ios grea’ measure, for display, for we believe ber insti uctions ar void coming in contact with the iebels, and not to Oght unless it be necessary to defead tbose Woo may take refuge on board. Some people think she ought not to bave been permitted to go at all; and it was said that the Uoited States Comunissioner, on his | ar:ival at Woosovg, hed put his absolute veto on her preceeding to Nenking; but that must have been merely aShanzhae rumor, for the vessel, we hear, has actually departed. Colowel Marshall is not hkely to make an in- ef'sctive dispiay of authority, which his interfereuce with the private taiesctions of American citizens with a Cai- nese would be. But itis said the attempt was made by the English Cousul, who on a British subject applying to have @ vessel transfered to a Chinese purchaser (the Teou'se), said it could not be done; but nevertheless it was done. by first velling to an American, who resold to a Chinese z There are now at Shanghae, besides H. M. brig Lily statioued there, four war steamers—two British, (the Hermer and Swiamander ) one French, (the Cassini,) and one American, (the Susquehanna.) The last arrived on Suncsy eveving, the 27th, bringing Colonel Marshall, the Unived Siares Commissioner. What all this force wil do, now bat it is he:e, nobody can say; but so far as the English, sud perhaps the Freneh, vessels are concerned, the general velief seems to be that they will do nothing —thut bei.y Sir George Bonham’s favorite policy, and in ordinary times the most scceptable to the government at | howe. HE. was to go to Ningpo on Tuesday, the 20th, bat only for @ short visit, end to bring away Mc. Hague, the Vice Consul in charge, who is in bad bealth. We understand the Taoutae oftered a visit to Sir George on bis arrival at Shanghae, but it was declined the Consul being the proper officer for the Taoutse to eommanicate with, No documents of interest on either side have appeared subsequent to those received by the Ganges, several of | which were published in our last Overland, the remainder being given in the present issue, and we have only to add | ‘that, on the 27th, a decree dated Peking "he 12th of March, was received at Shenghse by the Tacutae, in which the Emperor says that, according to the latest accounts re- ceived by him from the south, the revel fleet (? and for- ces) bad errived at Nanking aud Ching keaug Fu. He had therefore put in motion the graad army for their ex- termination ; and seeing that the whole baggage of tue re- Delforee was 00 board the boats, he commana the officials througoout ‘he country to issue proclamations inform- ing the people that whosoever can take the rebel fleet, shal! bave the whole of what they take, with the excep- tion of powder and military stores, which must be hau ed over to the government. Further, if any persons burn avy of the rebel deet, end capture or kill any of the long haired chiefs, on reporting the axme they sball be bandsomely rewarded. The people of the large avd important city of Suchau are sain to be leaving it in great numbers and removing their families aud property where it is thought they wil be more secure. immunity of ihe city, if it was ever opened, must pave failed. Proclamation by the Imperialists. MEANS OF DEFENCE—GOSSIPS, Wo>, provincial judge, intendant of circuit, &e, &e., iseues this proclsmation for the purpose of conveying clear information. T received, on # previous occasion, an of communi- cation from the high officers, :tatirg that ‘the rebels had disturbed the provinces of Hoonan ; having ben riven from wnich, iney fled into Hoo pih, and in conse- quence of dve precaution not _baving been take, the cepital city of that provines (Wo-chang) was lost ; bat subsequently am attack hsd been made on the rebeis, when they gave up possession of the city, seized some boats, and escaped. I+ is now to be feared that, procaed- ing in the direction of the stream, they will move east ward, down the Yang tez keang. It is Lecessary, taere- fore. that for +e southern bavks of that river, measures should be taken to stop their prozress ; also that the lorchas and guns, with the military force sent from Shanghae, suould go forward to meet 4nd extermina.e the rebels. I bave slso received another official c.mmunication from the high officers stating their aporebeugion lest local banditti, hearing this news, should crea. aners, and commandicg that the village be collected and trained, ia order to assirt in the de fence of their various localities. I, the Taou tae have at- tended to this, and have directed the superintendent of the maritime de’ences, together with the district magis- trate of Shapgbae, to issue proclamations to that, efuat as ix on record. Ss pice! gee See mr 2 thw g Out and traintog of the village braves, are merely measures of precaution, taken before the evil is really upon us, and do not show that the rebels have really arrived ‘at the borders of Keang-nan. On the twenty eighth day of the first moon, Qfarch 7, 1853), I received advcument from tue im- perial commissioner and great minister, Luh, (governor of Keang nau) stating that be had already led forth a large army tc attnck and exterminate the rebels. ia con. | jenetion with the troops from the various provinces Kean-se, Hoo nan, Hoo-pib, Ho-nan, Shan-tung, an!

Several days before this the Chinese govern- ment also applied for assistance to Sir C. Bonham, the Britich Commissioner at Hong Kong. Sir Charles ac- cordingly departed in her Majesty's steamship Hermes on the 18th of March for Shanghae, but had not arrived there when the mail left. Her majesty’s steamship der bad also gone to Shanghae, avd her Majesty’s ship Lily was already there. The French war steamer Casatn’ Fe the United States Jeviathan Susquehaana have both preceeded up the Yangtrekiung, and Colonel Mar- sball, the American Commissioner, bas determined to place the latter be‘ore Napking. The immediate effect of this interference on the relative position of the insurgents and imperialists is most mo- mentcus. It is acknowledged by the Chinese themselves that the loss of Nanking would have been the loss of the empire. A recent imperialist proclamation contains the following — “The pro city of Navking, together with Chan; pg and Yang Tehou (situated on the right and | ks of the Yargtsekiang, at its junctioa with the grand cana!) are important posts, on which depend the fate of beth the northern ard southern divisions of the empire : they must not, therefore, be allowed to fail into the hands of the rebels. ’ But it is necessary now that alll the forces should be concentrated, im order that measures should be taken in conjunction for the defence of these points.” The occupation of Nanking by the ‘revolutionary army’ would have given the commaxd of tbe grand canal, and cut off all commurications between Pekin and the coast provinces between Navking and Canton. The insurgeots avoided these provinces in their advance northwards, (de- siting, it is suppesed, to prevent the possibility of a colli- sion with Europea: s) but they are the most productive of thove at present remaining faithful to the Tartar,dy- pasty. The course of the grand canal offered, moreover, to the insurgent forces by far the most eligible route for an advance on Pekin, The physical and moral effact of the check given to the revolution by the act of foreign interference might yet (if proverly improved by them- selves) be the salvation ofthe Tartar dynasty. The policy of foreigners interfering in the internal affairs of the Chicese empire can scarcely be defended. ‘The ineurrection is considered by many to be what it professes itself—a great na Jopal movement to get rid of &n alien éypasty—on far too extended a scale to be crusted by the cccupation of the mouth of a single river by European vessels of war. But even were those ves- sels sent 400 or 500 miles up the river, $0. as to check the northern progress ef the revolutionary forces along the whole of their present bare line of operstions, were the revolution truly altogether Le doe for the present, the bolstering up of the Ta: lypasty woald be any- thing but conducive to the progress of enlightenment and the exten ion of foceign intercourse aod commerce in the Chinese empire. ‘The translations of the rebel proclamations (with which the Chine-e papers ace now filled ) convey @ very favorable idea of the organization and character of the movement in progress The revolutiouary army is divided into five corps or visions, each complete im itself. Each division is sub- divided into brigades of 6,400 men, commanded by a bri- gadier, and cox taining four regiments of sixteen compa- ries each, A eubsltern’s command is 26 men, a captain’s 100 men, a msjor’s 400, and a colonel’s 1600, The pames of all the generals are given, and also a descrip- tion of their persons. There is a corps of Imperial Guards and a strong staff, Isepectora of Troops, Masters of the Horse, V'xymasters, @ corps of Surveyors, Officers in charge of the Signal Department. All these are dignified with yellow searfe avd the title of Excellency. The infe- grades are numerous, Among those particuiarized ave cfiicers distinguished by a red and black scarf, whose duty it is to urge the people to enter into their confede- racy and to néminister the oaths of adherence. Bat by far the larger proportion of those proclamations refer to 1be civil organization of the conquered provincas, and the establishment of order in the neighborhood of the army. There aze stringent proclamations against milita- | ry oificers allowing their troops to plunder, and against miles along the uorthern aad | corrupt eivil functionaries; proclamations for the protec tion and extension of educational establishments, and the ercoursgement of literature geuerally, Tue educa- tion of women is one of the objects of the insurgents, aud over ihe doors of the female schocls they have establisbed there is a notice posted, “on red paper,” to the effect that they are sacred to the sex, and that’ any ren presuming toenier them “in a cisorderly manner will be bebeaded ” The enlightened tone of their pro- clomations is attributed partly to the circumstance of there being among the rebel leaders many memters of the “Chinese Union ” a literary society instituted by the late Dr, Guzlabb, for the purpose of di-ssminating a Lnow ledge of the results of European civilization among the Chinese, but itis, douttlers, principally due*to the Ligh mental culture of a people umorg wsom education in general and literary acquicements sre the only pass- ports (0 public empluyment or distinction. ‘There is a compiete stagoation of trade in the north of Chit A’ Shapgbee the nh Consul has been com to take cn Lispelf the resporsibility of despatehing vessels without the ususl perm{t from the Chi, periotencent of Customs, This measure was ve reason of the want of money to pay the duties wud port dues, and for which the Consul, on receipt of recurity, himself responsible.

The corporation met foreroon, to consider what preserve the of the city, prevent the recurrence of such another melan- sk Regents scene as took place on Thursday A longi discussion engued between the Aldermen, who were generally of opinion, that the civil authorities could not preserve the peace. The following is the Mayor’s statement :— “It is necessary that I should make rome explanations, as Le are by the papers that I have been misrepre- sented. I will state exactly what took place during the afternoon. I took the ;recaution, along with Col Er- mitinger, to get the troops so placed that at « moment's warming they might be on the spot, and not risk the de struction of hfe and property by being three quarters of an bour in arriving after their presence was necessary. I went to the spot early in the evening, at about half past six o'clock, asd remained there, woring with all my pits and all my heartto keep the The responsibility attaching to me was great, and I felt that responsibility, At length I perceived that all the efforts of the police to keep the peace were unsvailtng. and that in the course of @ few minutes there would be a great deal of disturbance, and I went at once for the troops. After some little delay, the troops were brought to the spot, and were drawn up, ove range facing the Hay mar- ket, and another facing the church. There was a great deal of noise apd confusion, and a number of persons came to me point to the Hay market, and said —Look at the firieg—look at the people murdering ‘one another.” In this great confusion what did I do Tread the Riot Act, but I never gave the word to fire. The reason why I read the Riot Act was to be prepared in ease of a sudden rush. So great was the concourse of people that 1 had every reason to believe that a rush would be and so to be prepared for it, and from motives of prudence, I read the Riot Act. I believe that for my part | neyer gave authority either to tbe right or the left to fire. In reading the Riot Act I believe— —though I am not very sure—that [ heard some one at @ distance ray “fire |”? The captain never came near me torequest, “Mr, Mayor, shall I disperse the mob—shall I fire ¥ Nothing ct the kind was done. When the vol- y was fired without my authority, I cried out at once, ‘For God’s rake, what lon you been doing? what ne- cessity was there for tiring ?”” “and that Ican vouch for before my Maker.

Donald M’Kay’s Leviathan Clipper Ship —The Large:t Merchant Vessel in the ‘World. ¥ ‘The most marked, most interesting, and most im- portant sign of our unequalled national advancement is the great improvement constantly being made in the art of shipbuilding. as every day shows some beautiful new addition to our merchant marine leave the stocks in one or other of our seaboard cities. Nowhere have thére been se much enterprise and utter disregard of expense displayed, to excel, in this line of art, as among the American shipbuilders. It is but a very few years since that a 600 ton ship was considered a perfect monster, and, by a great many, thought to be the maximum size that a vessel could, with safety, be built. Experience, however, has shown this notion to be fallacious, and now a1,000 ton ship is not thought so much of here as a 500 ton vessel was then, while foreign builders remain about stationary, but seldom constructing a vessel that will register over 600 or 700 tons. Among the most enterprising shipbuilders of the age, and one who, we believe, was the first to over- step to any considerable extent, the supposed safety lines in this respect, is Mr. Donald M’Kay, of East Boston, the builder of the clippers Flying Cloud, Sovereign of the Seas, and other magnificent ves- sels. The last named vessel registers 2,421 tons, and, at the time she was built, was the largest mer- chant sailing vessel in the world. That, however, has since been exceeded by the Young America, of this port, by some eighty tons. Mr. M’Kay, how- ever, seemed determined to retain the honor of being the builder of the largest merchant ship, and, ac- cordingly, a short time back, laid down the keel of a monster clipper to measure three thousand five hun- dred tons, customhouse measurement, and to be ca- pable of carrying four thousand tons of California cargo. In constructing this vessel, Mr. M’Kay is de- voting bis whole energies to make her not only the largest, but equal m every other respect to the finest and strongest ship afloat. The “slow and sure” class of men have not been backward in prog- nosticating that a vessel of such huge pro- portions will be a failure; but the same prophecy was made when the second figure was reached; and as experience has thus far shown that increased speed is gained by increase in size, the prophecy will, doubtless, be numbered with other false theories of this extraordinary age. The model of this vessel, which is now well under way, is that of a perfect clipper, with very sharp ends, and a dead rise of twenty-two inches. She is 300 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 28 feet deep. Her entire frame is composed of New Hampshire and Virginia white oak, kelsons and all ; and the plank- ing and ceiling are of yellow pine. She has a double or made keel, the first or lower one being in seven pieces, and the second or top tier, in eight pieces ; all locked scarphs, twelve feet long,and fastened with eight 1j inch copper bolts, and eight 12 inch com- position spikes, driven from one side and clenched on the other. Her floors are sided from 12 to 14 inches, and moulded 22 inches; the first and second futtocks are sided 12 and moulded 21 inches; the third and fourth futtocks are 10 to 12, and moulded 21 inches; and the top timbers 10 by 1Winches. Her floors are solid fore and aft, and faded, coaged and keyed between the frame, from the kelson up, every fuur feet, making the fra me all solid, and still further strengthened and bound to- gether by being strapped diagonally, from stem to stern, with 36 feet iron bars, 5 inch by 4, placed five fect apart—the same as adopted in Collins’ steamers. She bas four tier of kelsons, composed of yellow pine, each 16 inches square, and all locked, scarphed and keyed; likewise two tiers of sister kelsons, 15 by 16, of southern pine. All the kelsons are coaged and fastened with 1] inch iron; the first tier bein, also fastened with 1} copper through every secon floor, and the top tier with 1] iron. From the top of the kelson to the under part of the keel is 10 feet 1 inch. ‘The scarphs of the kelsons are fastened with 14 iron, eight bolts in a scarph. The ceiling commences from the sister kelson, with seven streaks of 12 by 12 Southern pine, square bolt- ed with 14 iron, and bolted edgeways every four feet onthe fieor heads. She has four tiers of 15 by 15 bilge kelsons, of yellow pine, scarphed and coaged, making 30 inches square, and all square bolted with 14 inch iron, part driven each way above the bilge kelsons. The ceiling is double, the first tier six inches, butted; the second tier 10 inches by 12, scarphed with 6} meh scarphs, all square bolted wit. 14 inch iron, and driven fast each way, and bolted edgeways every four feet. This ceiling is carried up in this tanner to the lower deck beams. The lower dech ciuinps are 12 Dy 16, and all square bolted edge ways Her lower deck beams are 15 by 16 inches, of yellow pine, 54 feet apart, with a carling between every beam 10 by 6, and then three tiers of fore’ and aft deck frames. The, lower deck lodging knees are sided eight and moulded eighteen inches, and bolted with 1 iron. The lower deck hanging knees are of white oak, faced 10 inches and 24 inches in the throat, and each fastened with | twenty 1) iron bolts, driven each way, and all rivited. The lower deck is of 34 inch yellow pine—all hatches and partners kneed—and has four pair of oak point- ers at each end, bolted with 14 iron, and driven through the timber andclinched. She has also three tier of lower hold stancheons taking two tier of beams, making six stancheons to each deck frame, and locked and keyed. The depth of the lower hold Her lower deck water-ways are 16 inches square, with six feet scarphs, ited with 12 iron; the lower deck thick streak is 12 by 14, fastened with 1} iron; the two streaks above are 12 by 15, and all of Southern pine. The ceiling be- tween the two lower decks is 8 inches, all scarphed and braced and bolted edgeways. The second or middle deck lodging knees are sided 8 inches and moulded in and out 18 inches, of white oak, and fastened with 1j iron. The hanging knees on this deck are the same as on the lower deck, and fastened in like manner, 20 bolts ina knee, and driven part each way. The middie water ways are 16 inches square, scarphed and bolted with 14 iron through every timber. ‘The thick streak on the deck | beam is 12 by 14, dovetailed in the beams. The standing streak on top of the water ways is also 12 by 14, and all of Southern pine. The ceiling above, between the two upper decks, is 10 inches, and dia- gonally braced with. wood, on top of the ceiling, fore and alt, and fastened with one inch iron. The plank shear and rails are of 7-inch yellow pine, and her bulwarks are solid, like those of a man of war. Her lower deck hatch is 20 by 14 feet; middle hatch, 14 by 16 feet; upper deck hatch- es, 14 by 11 feet. She measures 6 feet through from the forward part of the stem to the after part of the apron, on the middle deck, at the side. She has eight-inch garboard, bolted edgeways in the keel with iron. The bottom planks are seven and a half inches; first three streaks bolted edge- ways with one-inch iron every four feet. The plat on the bilge are eight inches thick, treenailed with locust 14 treenails, bolted with one-inch iron through every timber, and bunged with half-inch bungs; and she is planked up to the wale with seven by eight inch Southern pine. A striking peculiarity in this vessel will be her masts, which are to be fourin number, and fitted with Forbes’s rig. The fore, main and mizen masts are to be made, as is also the bowsprit. The after mast will be a single stick, bark rigged, with a spanker and gaff topsail. The following are the dimensions of her mastafand spars:— - Length of — _ Diameter Masts, Heid. Diam. Yard.

The peculiarity in her masting and rig was the suggestion of the brother of the builder, ohana L. M'Kay, now of the Sovereign of the Seas, who is to command her. This noble vessel is progressing rapidly towards completion, and will shortly be brought to this port to loud for California, where her arrival is looked for with much anxiety. We understand the idea of call- ing her the “ King of the Cli; a has been aban- doned, and none other bas yet n adopted, we pre- sume from the difficulty of finding one sufficiently worthy of such a splendid craft. Captain L. M’Kay may justly be’proud of his new command, and his extraordinary success with the Sovereign of the Seas proves he is well worthy of the truet reposed in him by hia brother, who, we hear, has invested his all in this undertaking.

The Charge of Murders on the High Seas, UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT. Before Hon. Judge Nelson. A NOLLE PROSEQUI ENTERED A8 TO THE SECOND CHARGE— LIBERATION OF THE ACCUSED. Jone 13,—At the sitting of the court this morniog, the Judge inquired of the District Attorney ff there was any further bustpess. Mr. C. O’Conor asked his honor to assign a day for the sentence of Rearden, convicted of homisice, ‘The Judge—To-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. Mr. O'Conor—There is one indictment pending in this court against John Christian, (the doctor of the Roscius I propose in that case to enter a molle prosequi, which will evable him to go free. Mr. C, Edwards, counrel for the British Consul, on be half of Doctor Christian, tendered his thanks for the kind way in which the Judge had spoken of him, in his charge to the jury on Saturday. My. 0'Conor—In the case of Capt, Molony, tried for the muréer of Emanuel, the prisoner haviog been acquitted in this court, it is proper that I should enter a nol. pros. on the indictment remitted here from the District Court for the murder of the seme person. There now remaina an indictment in the District Court against Capt Molony for the murder of Yankee Chap, and also an indictment for the murcer of the rame seaman, in the Circuit Court. I likewise enter a nol pros.in that case. There is not any other criminal business for this morning. Capt. Molony and Dr. Christian were not in court; Dut several of their friends were present, and immediately seft, to meet them at the jail and congratulate them on their deliverance. THR WANT OF COURT ACCOMMODATION. Judge Nelson remarked that he understocd that the District Court was engeged in the trial of criminal cases of importance—cazea of alleged fraud, several of which are yet penéing, The busigess has, for some days pat, been held in «ne of the local courts, but the Marshal has been notified that tbat court room is now required for the busizess of that loeal court. -Now, unless he (Judge Nelson) gave up the Circuiz Court room, the trials in the District Court eould rot be proceeded with, aud the term would fall through and the ends of justice be defeated. The overpment have been at great expense for witnesses in these cases, and unless they have a court room for the disposal of their business, it would be attended with very great inconvenience and additional expense The incon- venience which the courts have been heretofore subject- ed to has been repeatedly represented to the government at Warhington, and yet no steps have been taken for af- fording the necessary accommodation and enabling the courts to go on with the administration of justice. If he (Judge Nelon) gave up the Circuit Court rcom, there would be a great deal of business vacated, and a emall room, such as the Chambers, would be exceedingly incon- venient this weather, Ihave hesitated, said the Judge, whether, under the circumstances, I should not leave tha buriness of the District Court to fall through; butit has Leen represented to me the great loss the government would be thereby subjected to, and I have determived to tive up this room to the District Court, and hold the Cir- cvit in our private room, however incopvenient. I hope some steps will be taken by the government to rectify this evil; and if they do not, 1 shall, in future, ee) it my duty to ceeupy this room, whatever may be the inconvenience to the District Court. The petit jurors of the Cirenit Court are di-charged,for the term, I will hear moti: ns of counsel in Chambers. Supreme Court—General Term, Decision by Hon. Juoge Roosevelt, THE AMORY WILL CASE. Junk 18,—Amory vs. Amory.—The following are the Toints decided in this ease:—A devise of the foe of his real estate by a testator, at the death of bis wilow and cbild, to the children of such child, if such child leave ary, but if such child leave no lawful issue surviving him, then to the testator’s right heirs, isa valid creation of two alternate future estates, first in favor of the particu- lar iseue. if any, of the testator’s child; and thea, se- cenély, should there be n0 Buch issue living at the chilo’s death, in favor of the teetator’s right heirs gene- ly. ‘The alternative devise to the right heirs of the tes- tetor is.» contingent “future estate,” vested, in interest, in the heiss of the ‘estater who were living at his death, aud to take effect in possesion, if ever, at the deat of the widow asd child. It is a remainder limited on a con- tingency, which, in caseit should happan, will operate to abridge or determine the precedeatestate. Both these estates are at once vested and contingent—vested, because there are “persons im being who would bayean immediate right to the possession upon the ceasing of the interme- diate or precedent’ estute;” contingent, because, as to one, “the person to whom,’ and ax to the other, * the event on which it is limited to take effect, remains un- certain.” The uncertainty, however, in either aspect, ceases at the death of the child—she can have,no more children after her death ; there will then be ‘persons in being, bnown and ascertained, by whom un absolute fee ssion can be conveyed,” and, as 2 consequence, clute power of alienation will not then have beea surpended fer a longer period than during the continu. avce of two cerignated lives, “in being at the.creation of the es‘a‘e.’’ Both these alternative future estates are ex- pressly recognized by the statute, and their creation ad- initted to be a lawful exercise of the testamentary power. Such a devise to take effect aud vest in interest at the ceath of the cluld, in her issue then in being although Pe ed in possessicn till the ‘ deteraination ” of a third life esate, is still valid, whether the thied life estate be considered 98 a charge upon the fee, or as 8 life estate proner, determined by i+ invalidity on the ivetant of its creation. Where a valid devise, direct to the party to be becefitted, is afterward subjected to trust prohibited by law, the original devise remaina valid, although the trust is declared void. Where three successive live estates are created as legal estates, and then a trust is imposed upon them, to receive and pay over the sents and profits, the trnst is valid for the two first lives, aud void for the third, but not void im toto. A trust created for several distinct purposes, sore valid and some void, will vest the property in the trustee for such time as may be necessary to fulfil the valid purposes, and no longer. As soon a3 the legitimate objects of the trust cease, the estate of the trustee ceaces, A trust limited to contiaue till the ‘determination’ of three successive life estates—the third being yoid by law—ceases at the expiration of the second life. ‘ Determination,’ when applied to estates, means extinguishment from any cause. whether eillax of time, forfeiture of condition, or original invalidity. A re- mainder in fee, limited 0 as to vest in inverost, adsolutely, in persons in being at the endof two succossive life est.tes, is valid although its enjo:ment be postooned wll the deterrsination’’ of @ possible thicd life Sveb third life estnte, being void by statute, is m.red’’ as soon as it is begun, and creates no postpone. rent, therefore, of the vesting of the remainder, whether in possersion, or in interest. Neither the third life ectate, void iteelf, ror tke void trust impored upon it, can suspend the power of elienation beyond the lives of the two first takera. There is nothing in the will, there- fore, to invalidate the devise of the remainder in fee at the ‘death, for example, of Mrs. Moore to her children, who way hereafter be bora, And such children, claim: ing under @ devise expressly allowed by law, cannot be barred bya rnle in partition made before they ware born, and made in disregard of their legel rights, Supreme Court—Cireult, Before Hon, Judge Roosevelt.
