THIS DAY. OLD COURT. BM.c MIA GI. SM. Q.C. RETURSED CONVICTS. John Rain, 25, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with being feloniously at large before the expiration of a period for which he had been sentenced to be transported. The prisoner put in uwritten paper4in which i4was stated that since he had regained his liberty he had been endea vouring to earn an honest livelihood. The prisoner WAY sentenced to be transported for ten years. elutrirs Fletcher, It 6 pleaded guilty to a similar charge. The Court WAS informed that the prisoner had been taken into custody while in the act of attempting to commit • burglary. lle was sentenced to be transported fur life. Hasa. Ma. Hugo% ALuraloN AND %lc !vows TALIOCILD. MAN•LA Uti II EU of a FATHER. F. Judd, 18, was indicted fur the wilful murder of Richard Judd, his father. Mr. lkallinaud Mr. Clerk conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. liallantino. The facts of this C.V.: hare appeared very recently in the police reports,and notwithstanding the dreadful nature of the charge, the evidence was in a very small compass. It appeared that the deceased and the prisoner lodged together at a hems. in Ganlen-street, Westminster, and about eight o'cl.sk on the morning of the 12th April the persons living in the room underneath that of the deceased heard the sounds of a scuffle and of some person moaning, and shortly afterwards the prisoner came down stairs and leR the house. Atter he hail gone the deceased also came down, and it was olesrved that his face was covered with blood, and that he hail received some very severe ivjuries. lie was taken to the hospital, where it was found that his skull was fractured, the bones of his nose broken, and also his under jaw, and it was the opinion of the surgeon that these injuries huil been indicted by a poker which was found in the deceased's room. The un. fortunate old man lingered for about a fortnight and then died, the death being the result of the injuries he had re ceived. The prisoner went away for two or three days, and he then gave himself up, and when he was intOrmed that he was charged with cutting and wounding his father, the deceased being at the time alive, he said that his father had brought it all upon himself ; and when he was under examination before the magistrate he made a state inent to the effect that it was an accidental occurrence. . _ . Mr. Ballantine, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, remarked upon the melancholy nature of the ease, and said that he should not, under the circumstances, think himself at all justified in endeavouring to eatricate the prisoner from being convicted of the crime of manslaughter. He said he trusted, however, that the jury would come to the conclusion that the injuries were the result of a sudden fit of passion, and in the excitement of a struggle ; and in that ease the jury would be justified in saying that the prisoner had not committed the dreadful crime of murder, which would inevitably entailthe dreadful penalty of the forfeiture of his life, and that they would convict him of man slaughter only. Several witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner the character of a humane, mild, and inoffensive lad. The learned judge havin4 summed up, the jury, after • very short deliberation, found the prisoner Ussilty of man alaughter. Mr. Baron Alderson, after making some appropriate ob servations upon the heinous character of the charge, sea tensed him to he transported for life. BULL-FIGHTING is FRANCL—Some commotion took place on the Rth inst. at Aiguessives ((ard), in consequence of resistance made by the population to the military who were ordered to prevent a bull-tight. An accident having or curreil at Lund some time back at a similar exhibition, the l'refect of tin Gard had interdicted all such roceedings for the future within hi+ jurisdiction. A captain of gendarmerie was sent with twelve men to occupy the ground where the fight was to take place, but the party arrived too late. Miring asked for the mayor, he was informed that that functionary was absent, as well as hi+ deputy. Conjectur ing that these gentlemen desired to avoid acting in the mat ter. be determined to prevent the sports on his own respon sibility. Finding that a company of the Bth regiment hail arrived from Lund to support him, he proceeded to the place where the lists were erected, and summoned the crowd standing atone of the entranees to give way and allow his men to enter. lie was greeted with hooting and hisses. Ile ordered the infantry and hisuwn men to advance, and it was not until after long struggling. acCompanied with great forbearance on use purl of the military. that an entrance was effected. In fact, the military were obliged to present their bayonets before the crowd gave way. But the moment the soldiers and gendarmes appeared inside the barriers, they were as sailed with a shower of stones. At that moment arrived a Squadron of horseekaaseurs, and then all further resistance became impossible. The crowd, however, made one last effort, and that was to let loose a bull on the soldiers. But, as the animal was rushing forward with its head down, a sergeant took vim at it, and, lodging a ball in the centre of its skull, killed it on the instant. The crowd then dia pered, and the lists were removed. During the evening the crowd ailed the wine-shops, and from time to time bands of nes paraded the streets, shouting, singing, and oteasionglly haranguing the persons around. Many of the leaders put on red scarfs and other demagogical emblems, and no steps were taken by the local authorities to put an end to each set.nea. The soldiers were unable to get • morsel to eat, mid at last an expires. was sent off to Lund for provision+. It was not until late in the night that a four,ms arrived, loaded with food and drink. The next day the commotion had subsided. IRELAND. DCBMX, MAY 14. A very painful sensation was created yesterday among all classes by the arrival in town of a report that Mr. John Power, of Gurteen, had died by hie own hands. The circumstances of the melancholy 'this occurrence, as stated is the Waterford Mail of morning, are as follows :—On Monday Mr. James Dela harty, coroner, proceeded to the princely residence of the unfortunate gentleman to hold an inquest. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Pierce Netherville Barron that he and the demised had dined on Sun day last at Glen-lodge with Mr. Galway and some other gentlemen, that they returned about 12 o'clock to Gurteen, and from the incoherency of his manner for somo days past, Mr. Barron re moved a case of pistols and a dagger out at Mr. Power's bed room, as he apprehended he would see them for self-destruction. On Mr. Barron retir ing from Mr. Power's bed room he proceeded to his own. About one o'clock on Monday morning he heard a shot, and ran back immediately to Mr. P.'s bed-room, where he saw him stretched dead, and • duelling pistol lying near him. Mr. Power was not under the slightest influence of drink, but had been for some time in a very desponding state of mind, owing to heavy pecuniary embarrassments. Dr. Purcell stated he was his medical adviser, and bad observed him, from the cause already stated, for sons time back greatly depressed in @pints, and frequently betraying great incoherency of manner. The ver dict of the jury was to the effect that John Power, Esq., died from a pistol wound inflicted by his own hand while labouring underteinpurary mental derangement. He was formerly member f o r 'Waterford, was mar ried to the daughter of Sir John Power, Bart., of Kahan., and has left a youthful family. Ile was the step-son of the Hight lion. It. L.

At the same congregation the following graces passed the senate. The first was mos placeted in the Black flood House, but carried by S against 3: 1. To confirm the Report of the Syndicate appointed to consider whether any and what alterations may be mule in the regulations which fix the standing of candidates for honours in the Moral Sciences Tripes and Natural Sciences Tripos. That with a view to encourage a more complete study of the subjects introduced into the new Triposes, and to promote the improvement of students after they have passed the examination for their B A. degree, it appears to the Syndicate to be desirable that persons of the standing of Middle Bachelors, as well as Commencing Bachelors, he allowed to be candidates for honours in the new Triposes. They recommend, therefore, that without disturbing the existing regulation, by which all students who have passed the examination for the B.A. degree are allowed to be can didates for honours in the new Triposes next succeeding such examination., such students shall also be al lowed to be candidates for honours in each of the new Triposes next but one succeeding such exami nations: and that the candidates for honours who are of the standing of Middle Bachelors, being examined by the same examiners who are already appointed for the two new Tripe's's, be clamed separately in a Middle Bachelor's Moral Sciences Trips, and a Middle Bachelors Natural Sciences Tripes. The Syndicate further recommend that students who shall have parsed the examination for the B.A. d gree he admitted to be candidates for honours in the Middle Bachelors' Triposes, whether they have been candidates or not for such honours in the Moral Sciences Tripes ur the Natural Sciences Tripos open to commencing bachelors of their standing. But the Syndicate are of opinion that the two prism now given to the best proticients in moral philo sophy, should he given mill to candidates fur honours in the Commencing Bachelors Tripes, agreeably to the founda tion of those prizes. The Syndicate further recom mend that all students who shall have passed the examinations and kept the exercises required for the degree of Bachelor of Law, or Bachelor of Medicine, be allowed to become candidates for honours in the above mentioned Triposes in the fourth Lent Term and fifth Lent Term after the completion of their first term of mei deuce. That both students in law and students in medi cine becoming candidates fur honours in the new Triposes in the fourth and fifth Lent l'erms after the completion of their first term of residence lie classed with the Commencing and Middle Bachelors respectively. The Syndicate further recommend that, in conformity with the grace passed Feb. 20, l&50, no student who has degraded be allowed to become a candidate for honours in the Moral Sciences Tripos or Natural Sciences Tripp., without leave first obtained from the Syndicate appointed to examine into the eases of appli cants for permission to become candidates for honours after they have degraded. The Syndicate recommend that the first examination under these regulations take place in the Lent Term of 18.5'2. 2. To appoint the Vice-Chancellor.

RIOTS AT COPENBAGEN.—Disturbances took place at Copenhagen in the evening of the 4th. Bitter enmity has always existed between the Germans and the Danes, and it has been increased by the war in Schleswig. Two Danish sailors, on passing the shop of a Prussian brush maker, thrcwstones at the windows, and broke five squares. The tradesman, aided by his workmen, seised them, and dragged them into the shop. There the sailors offered to pay the damage; but the tradesman said they deserved to be punished and sent for the guard. The soldiers took off the sailors in custody. But a crowd assembled be fore the house, and cried, " Down with the Germans! down with the enemies of the country ! away with the barbarians!" and about 20 men entered the shop, gave the Prussian a severe beating, and smashed every thing they could lay hands on. Another crowd followed the sailors, and made frequent attempts to deliver them. The prisoners, however, were lodged in the lock-up, but the crowd mule an attack on it, and disregarded the sum mons of the officer of the guard to disperse. At last the officer ordered his men to present their muskets, but as the crowd still refused to go away he gave the order to fire. Only sit wilier, obeyed, and five men were wounded. The people then slowly dispersed. The crowd who had assem bled before the Prussian's shop took him to prison. Although there was no charge against him ho was locked up to prevent any more injury from being done him; but he was shortly after set at liberty. SERVANT,' ROTAL PROVIDENT AND BENEVOLENT SOCI ITT . —The fourth annual meeting of the subscribers and annuitants of this society took place yesterday in St. Martin's-hall, Long-acre. 'the Lord Bishop of London, in the chair, briefly alluded to the advantages of the society to employers as well as servants, for the comfort of the higher classes greatly depended upon the respectability and good conduct of domestic servants, which such a society was cal culated to foster. The registry for servants in want of places *palsied good servants to obtain situations, and mas ters to obtain good servants. The report of the past year, stated that her Majesty had consented to become pa troness of the society, and that the directors had rescinded the rule by which the benevolent fund was applied to the reduction of the payments of annuitants. A home for ser vants out of place had been established in Great Marlbo rough-street, where they could reside, having a sitting room, and also separate dormitories. The total numbers of servants who had obtained places through the r m insa had been 1,176, of whom 296 were male servants a female servants. The number of servants who have pur chased annuities during the past year has been 248, and the amount received 9,0,181. 19s, 2d., and the total amount received for emulsifies since the commencement of the society, in 1847, is 2c,2'221. 16s. 7d. THE ROYAL LITERARY FUND. Yesterday this 131st annual dinner of this sorie_ty took place at the Freemasons '- hall. His Excellency M. Vale Di Warms, the Be ' n minister, in the chair. His Excellency was supported on the right by Senor Isturits, the Spanish minister, Lord Ashburton, Lord Loader borough, the Hon. E. Phipps, Baron Phipps, Baron Martini, Baron Dupin, M. °realer, and M. Delepierre. On the left by the Earl of Belfast, Lord Crewe, Mr. Vice- Chancellor Knight Bruce, the Hon. C. Harding', Admiral Sir C. Malcolm, and Bir It. B. Comyn. There were also r's4Tt : Mr. Alison, Mr. Copeland, M. V a nb oegar d e , Herr ebahn, Mr. Ooldsmid, Sir H. Ellis, Mr. Griffin, the Rev. Dr. Russell, Mr. Tooke, Sir J. Haberfield (Mayor of Bristol), Mr. Baring, the Turkish minister, the Mexican minister, the Greek Consul-General, Mr. B. Day's, Mr. Thsekeray, Mr. Maceolay, Q.C., Mr. Napier, M.P., Col. Lawrence, Col. Rawlinson, dec., &c. After the loyal toasts The church," which was acknow ledged by the Rev. I. 8. Anderson, and " The army and navy," proposed by Sir J. Habertield and acknowledged by Sir C. Malcolm, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast of the even ing. The principles upon which this society had been founded, and upon which it was carried on, embodied the proper, good, and true feeling which society owed to those who, regardless of ease, comfort, and worldly riches, had honourably laboured in the field of literature; and who, amidst privations of every kind, had ministered to our in tellectual wants and pleasures. (Cheers.) The manner in which • country treated its writers, its public instructors, and the interest which it took in their welfar e sad sociall station, was the truest indication of its progress and civili sation. (Loud cheers.) The founders of this institution bad, therelbre, fulfilled an honourable and a patriotic duty ; and the literary man, supported and encouraged by its means, would feel more deeply that his talents were given him to enlighten society, and not to enkind:e those passions which would endanger its very foundation. (Cheers.) By an examination of their archive', which were so admirably kept by their able and worthy secretary, he had had the satisfaction of seeing with what paternal care every ease of distress was investigated, and with what Christian delicacy that distress was relieved. He had also had the gratifica tion of noticing with what true dignity and entire confi dence the assistance of the institution was claimed ; for if the mode of giving was based upon the beet principles of the heart, the mode of receiving was equally honourable to those to whom the assistance of the society was extended. (Cheers.) In fact, after learning, from their archives, the manner in which the numerous difficulties which beset the literary men of this country were met, he had never had a higher opinion of the class. (Cheers.) Something more, however, must be done, as was evident, not only from the increasing subscriptions to the fund, but from the esta blishment of a Guild of Literature, which had met with the earnest support of the tint men of the day. (Hear, hear.) Rich as was the literature of this country, the works of some of the most distinguished of its philosophers were still mouldering in the dust for want of a sufficient probability of remuneration to their editors. For instance, the rich literature of this country still awaited an historian ; and was it so to remain until some foreign writer accomplished the task, because no certainty of • live lihood was held out to en English author while he shouli devote his time to the accomplishment of so great and last ing a work ? (Cheers.) It appeared to him (M. Van de Weyer, that the establishment of public libraries in large towns by a recent act of parliament, was an opportunity which ought not to be lost. He suggested that the situation of librarians should be given to literary men of eminence, or to young aspirants to fame, who might thus he enabled to devote their energies free from care and anxiety, to the prosecution of great works. What, for instance, could have . been • more gratifying sight than to have beheld the great towns contending with one another to secure the services of a man likely Southey ? (Cheers.) lie spoke with some warmth on this point, be souse he had himself in his youth experienced great ;Lid in the pursuit of literature by his appointment to the office of librarian in the city of Brussels. (Loud cheers.) The great increase in the public taste for reading of all kinds must also lead to en increasing call upon the institution ; and, as he hoped, increased additions to its means. lie would, therefore, give them " Prosperity to the Royal Lite rary Fund." (Loud cheers.) The Rev. Dr. RUSSELL rose to lay before the meeting the state of the society's funds. Unlike some other so cieties,which, if they saved • man from drowning, requested hint to come before the annual meeting and show himself to the subscribers, this institution has no public ovation, but performed all its works in secret. Nevertheless ho (the Rev. Dr.) remembered an occasion upon which the French amlassador himself was proud to avow himself as one of those whom they had assisted; for the society extended its aid to the literary men of all nations. (Loud cheers.) During the past year they had helped 38 persons, who , were thus classed :—History and biography, 4 ; Biblical literature, 5 ; science and art, 3 ; topography and travels, 4; education. 5 ; poetry, 4; essays and tales, 7; drama, 1; law, I ; medicine, 1; and miscellaneous, 3. Their income during the past year had been 2,1781. Is. 2d. ; which they accounted for thus:-38 grants for relief, 1,0351.; expenses (including salaries, 2201. its, 3d.), 53,61.145. 14.; purchase of 3001. stock, 2954 10s.; balance, 3081. 17e. td.; total, 2,178/. Is. 2d. The persons relieved comprised 29 males, 9 females, 6 being authoresses and 3 widows. Amongst the subscribers was the Queen, who had given them 100 guineas since 1838—(loud cheers)—Prince Albert, and many other distinguished personages. Lord ASHBURTON, in a flattering speech to his Excel leney as an author, a scholar, and minister, proposed the health of the chairman, who, in responding, said that having risen by his pen he had ever been faithful to litera ture. (Cheers.) He begged to give them the health of tho chairman elect, the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Campbell— (loud applause). The SECRETARY of the BELGIAN EMBASSY then proposed, in a short French speech, the healths of the Turkish Minister and the Foreign Ministers; to which his Excellency briefly replied in the same language. The Hon. E. PHIPPS proposed, " The Literature, Science, and Arts of all nations "—(loud cheers)—to which Baron Dupin and Mr. Grove responded. The Hon. CHARLES HAItDINIE gave, "The health of Mr. Alison and the Historians," gracefully acknowledg ing the manner in which his noble father had been noticed in the " History of Europe." (Cheers.) Mr. ALISON in reply, said he could not forget the time when the troops of England, of Turkey, and Spain, had fought side by . side against a common foe, in the sandy deserts of Syria and the fertile soil of the Peninsula. (Cheers.) How could he forget the time when the gallant , forces of Prussia and of Belgium stood side by side on the victorious field of Waterloo; and it appeared to him a sin gular coincidence that at this meeting of an English Literary Society the chair should be occupied by the Belgian Minis ter, who was ably supported on the right hand and on the left by the ministers of Turkey and Spain. (Loud cheers.) ..—...... Mr. Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE asked the meet ing to renew their ancient solemn league and covenant with an ancient tribe in the nation of letters, that dealt with Trull wren, in fairy fiction dreamed, whose writings awoke the fancy and quickened the observa tion, while they stimulated men to the practice of sin cerity, self-denial, kindness, and pity. (Loud cheers.) From Boccaccio to Bulwer, they were cunning preachers whose sermons they never wished ended—schoolmasters from whose ferule they never shrunk—and he declared to them that even the miraculous execution of that wonderful un dertaking which formed one of the grandest triumphs of the sterling Saxon mind owed to him, one of its greatest charms, in that it justified, while it surpassed, the ones doubtful "Arabian Nights." (Cheers and laughter.) He begged to give " The health of Mr. Thackeray and the novelists." Mr. TIIACKERAY acknowledged in fitting terms the cempliment paid him. He wished, however, to protest Is ; the strongest manner against an impression which the speech of their respected chairman might have contributed , to fester in the minds of their foreign visitors, namely, that the literary men of this country were • most tinter tunate, degraded, and seedy people (Laughter.) Captain Absolute, he knew, might make love to Lydia Languish, in the ordinary modern costume of the country, but when Sir Anthony came on the stage folks would not believe in him unless he wore re 1 boots, a George the 11. coat, and a huge ltamillies wig. (Loud laughter.) That was the tra dition of the old men of the drama; and there was also a tradition as to the distressed author, but he considered that disreputable phantom ought now to be hissed out of society. (Laughter and cheers.) Ile did not believe that a man of talent and character was obliged to do anything that an honest man might be ashamed of ; and, therefore, he hoped , that from that day forward the oppressed author would dis appear from amongst them. (Cheers.) It was true that iu the days of Queen Elizabeth a worthy writer stood in the pillory ; and in the time of another monarch, Queen Anne,—thank God she was dead—(loud laughter)—an author for a first offence might have his arm struck off, and for a second might be hanged ; but that was all Fore by. , (Cheers.) Else what a position would his august friend and . Mr. Punch ,be in. What would become of his arms. his patron , his neck and Hs bowels. (Laughter.) Ile had him self experienced at one period of his career the advantage of temporary assistance, and therefore be was anxious to ex tend by means of the institution that aid to his brethren which be had found so useful to himself. (Laud cheers.) The healthy of "Colonel Rawlinson and the Travellers," "Mr. Napier and the Universities," "The Bev. A. P. Stanley and the Biographers," " Mr. Thomas Baring and the Stewards," and lastly' The Ladies" (of whom there was a large and fashionable attendance in the gallery) were next proposed, and the meeting then broke up.

PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. Yesterday the annual meeting of this association was held in Easter Hall. After prayer by the Rev. W. Wilkinson, The Earl of WINCHIISEA, who presided, reviewed the circumstances attending the recent papal on. They could have no peace with Rome, who, ' she was what abe had always been, and must be still, ought to Se kept in check and allowed no opening through which she might thrust her doctrines into this country. The passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill by a government which was under the control of the see of Rome had been followed by i t t he system and present condition of fro ve l n oo temporal g g ia b a!resio seen the ; and in conse quences of the feeble policy which gave to such a power any opportunity of influencing the sffsus or the people of this nation. (Hear, hear.) He hoped in the course of time to see a truly protestant parliament. As soon as the people of this nation should have been awakened to a sense of the danger of permitting the Romish system to act in the midst of them, and as soon as that consciousness had obtained, they would find that the legislature would no longer tamper with that which was fraught with danger to the civil and religious liberty of the country. The annual report stated that the receipts for the year had shown an improvement in the condition of the society, the assets nearly equalling the liabilities. The amount received was altogether 1,131./. 95., and the expenditure was 9991. Os. Bd., leaving a balance to the society. The receipts from the sale of publications amounted to 233/. 9s. 541., and the demand was increasing. A considerable number of meetings and lectures had been nded during the year, and a large number of persons joined the association. This report was agreed to, and several mediations in accordance with the principles of the association having been accepted, the meeting separated. It is a singular fact that, notwithstanding the repeated remonstrances which have appeared in the columns of the riNICI and other papers, the accommodation for re porters in Exeter-hall remains as bad as ever. The result of former remonstrances has certainly induced the pro prietors to fix some glass in the door, but as no light falls upon this glass externally, the improvement is nutvery per ' ceptible. THE TWO CHILDREN POISONED AT MOTTRAM. In the Express of yesterday we gave an ac count of the proceedings at the adjourned inquest held on Tuesday at Mottram on the bodies of Sarah Ann Bareroft and Ellen Mills up to one o'clock, when our report left. The following is the substance of the evidence afterwards adduced:— _ _ _ Mr. Ralph Sidcbottam, surgeon, of Mottram, said—Ou the 3rd of May, in conjunction with Mr. Alcoek, I made post-mortem examinations of the bodies of Sarah Ann Bar. croft and Ellen Mills. We removed the stomach from the body of Sarah Ann Bareroft. I subsequently took home a jar containing the stomach and contents. The stomach, a portion of the intestines, and some of their contents, were taken from the body of Ellen Mills, put into two jars, and were subsequently taken home by me. On the sth inst. I made an analysis of what wax taken from Sarah Ann Barcroft's body, but was unable to find any arsenic. On Tuesday morning I threw the stomach and liquid away. The adjourned inquest was held on the Tuesday afternoon and I received instructions to attend the disinterment of S arah Ann Barcroft's body. I accordingly attended at Charles worth next day. The body disinterred was the one from which I had taken the stomach on the 3rd inst. On the sth inst. I sent the other two jars, containing the portions which had been taken from Ellen MilLs's body, to Dlr. Al cock, by his servant. Sarah Cheetham, Mr. Aleock's servant, proved the re ceipt from Mr. Sidebuttam, and the delivery to Mr. Alcock of two jars, tied up, on the .sth May. Mr. Thos. Alcock, surgeon, at Hyde, confirmed Mr. Sidebottam's evidence with respect to the post morteno ex amination of the bodies, and the removal and custody of the stomach of Ellen Mills. lie then continued—l mule an analysis of the stomach of Ellen Mills on the sth May, and of the intestines on the lOth. The results in each case showed the presence of arsenic. The quantity of solid ar senic found in the stomach of Ellen .Mills would nut be more than the bulk of a pin's head altogether; and that extracted from the intestines might possibly weigh two or three grains. I attended the disinterment of Sarah Ann Barcroft. The body disinterred WWI the same which I had examined on the 3rd inst. I and Mr. Sidebottam, in the presence of Mr. Little, Look out all the contents of the body except the stomach, previously removed. The whole was put into a clean jar, covered and tied, and handed to me. I took it home, submitted it to tests on the sth instant, and discovered the presence of arsenic. I have no doubt whatever that the tests I applied prove the presence of arsenic in both bodies. In the case of Sarah Ann Barcroft have net found evidence of a large quantity of arsenic ing in the body. I have no doubt, from the result of the analyses and examinations I have made, that Ellen Mills and Sarah Ann Bareroft died from the effects of arsenic. I have tested some flour given to me last Wednesday by Mr. Little, and found no traces of arsenic in it. IL _.. . By Mr. Ellison: I cannot account for Mr. Sidebottain not finding arsenic in Barcroft's stomach, except that from the bursting of the stomach the whole of the poison was emptied from it. There must have been more arsenic than I afterwards found in order to produce the symptoms I saw. Mr. Daniel Stone, professor of chemistry. at Manchester, said: I received from Mr. Little, on Thursday night last, a jar covered with leather, and tied up, and containing a portion of lung, intestine, liver, and kidney. On applying tests the following day I discovered arsenic in the substance of the liver, and also in the intestines, blood, and tluithi. I ex amined for other metals but found none. _ Mary Cooper, who lives next door to Bancroft, and wu present at the child's death, said—Ruth Bareroft asked me to go for Btu Mills, and I went and fetched her. She afterwards brought her husband, Ellen Mills, and two of her lodgers' children. Ruth asked Bess to go for her mother, and she immediately went. John Mills went to his work, and the three children were left in the house. I took the lodger's youngest child on my knee, but it began to scream. Ituth then took it front me, and gave it some porridge out of a cup which she took from the top of the oven. The child did not have much of the porridge before its mcther came in. I did not see any of the other children have porridge. In the afternoon, about three o'clock, Ruth came iu to my house with some porridge in a pint pot. It was nearly full, and 'herald she had brought it for my hens. She always brought me the otfal meat Inc the hens. The hens eat It, and are all bring. Several other witnesses whose evidence was not of striking importance having been examined, the inquest was adjourned. ALLEGED MURDER NEAR MANCIIESTER.—A man named Joseph Allison was brought up at the New Bailey, Manchester, on Monday last, having been apprehended by Mr. Chief Superintendent Beswick, on suspicion of being Iconcerned in the murder of a man named John Hunt. The deceased and the prisoner were carters in the employment of a cooper named Goodwin. On Wednesday, the 311th ult., they were commissioned by their employer to go to Ashton under-Lyne, with their carts, to purchase some tubs. He had sent them on the same errand before, and gave deceased 71. to pay for the tubs. The prisoner and the de ceased called at the Snipe Inn, Openshaw, on the road from Ashton to Manchester, between seven and eight o'clock the same evening, and had two pints of beer. They then appeared to be on very good terms, and drank out of the same cup. They had their carts with them, loaded with tubs. Whilst they were at this public-house the two men began to talk of the respective merits of each other's horses. Deceased offered to bet the prisoner It. to Is. that his horse was the' best. The men were rather ad- I vaned in liquor. Allison begged the deceased not to leave him, as he said his (the prisoner's) horse was bent upon mischief, and he was afraid he should have some trouble with It. The men left the public•house about half-past 8, and went towards Manchester. A short time afterwards the two men were seen walking together with their carts at Fairfield, a little further on the road, by a boy returning from !school, who noticed that they were quarrelling and abusing one another. The boy remained playing with some school fellows for above an hour afterwards, and soon lost sight of the men. The prisoner was seen some time the same evening at a public-house in Ardwick. Deceased's wife was there also, and upbraided the prisoner, who was in toxicated, with haying left her husband on the road. Allison replied that he did not care if Hunt broke his neck. It appears that deceased's wife had had a strong presentiment on her mind that her husband would not return safe, and had act out to meet him. She went about two miles further along the road, and met the horse and cart returning unattended. Hunt's body was found early the next morning by a carter named James Had ' field, lying on his side against the footpath. There were no marks of injury about him, except a wound in the nose, from which blood was issuing. An inquest was held on the body on Friday week, but very little evi dence could then be obtained, and a surgeon who gave evi- deuce stating that the deceased was an apoplectic subject, the jury returned a verdict of " Found dead." It had since been ascertained that an apron belonging to a man in ' the same employment with the prisoner, which had been missing since the day the men went to Ashton, was acci eternally found in a cask in Mr. O,,odwin's yard with marks of blood upon it. A number of biUs were found upon him, bring receipts for the casks which he had bought at Ashton. They amounted to 41. 125., which, with 3s. Bd. allowed for expenses, left a balance due to Mr. Goodwin of 2/. 4s. 4d. Only a shilling and a halfpenny, however, were found upon deceased. The prisoner was then remanded till Friday. A pale modem examination of the body was made on Monday evening by Mr. Brown, surgeon, of Gorton, and Dr. J. G. Harrison, of Manchester, who found that death had been caused b y the fracture of four ribs , and the consequent rupture er one lung and the WileT. let ROTAI: BiLtsoous.—Thttregiment, which was to have been quartered at Hampstead and Highgate, re ceived counter orders, and is now statiqped at Barnet (head quarters) and at Enfield. Several trAps are still en routs from Nottingham, but are expected daily. RAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'Ctoct. The railway share market opened with a very heavy appearance to-day, and prices soon underwent a reduction for nearly every line on the list, the re trograde movement being in many instances un usually rapid, and, in the cases of some of the larger stocks, amounting to as much as V. to W. ' per share. Sanguine holders entertained great expec tations of the traffic receipts consequent upon the Exhibition, even at this early period, and the non realisation of these anticipations in the re turns for the last week, has created a great amount of disappointment, and led to a cor responding depreciation. The consideration, how ever, that the increase of movement is certain, though still in perspective, the rush of visitors not having yet commenced, exercises its duo influence, and prices are now recovering, whilst the market has assumed a steadier tone. The rates of " continua tion" to the next account rule much higher than yesterday, and this affords a further explanation of the heaviness of the market. SHARES AND STOCKS UNOVARANTEED.

MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'Ctnc k. 1 1 The English stock market has been quiet to-day, the business offering being limited to a few money bargains, and attention being chiefly directed to the other departments of the Stock Exchange, in which tho settlement of the account has been in progrc,s. Prices can scarcely be said to have undergone any change, but a genanl feeling of flatness has per vaded the market, and yesterday?s quotations have been with difficulty sustained, notwithstanding tho continued action of the government broker, who purchased as usual. Consols have been quoted all day 97 to k for money, and 971 to 1 fur the lOth of June. The official report of business is :—Three per Cont. Con cols, 97, 974; ditto for account, 97 ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 9GI, 1; Three-and a-Quarter per Cent. Annuities, 974, ; South Sea Old Annuities, 951 ; Long Annuities, 77,; Annuities expiring 1859, 7 1-10; ditto 1800, 7-10, 1. Bank Stock, 211, 210, 211. India Steak, 259. Exchequer Bills continue very low, sales being pressed, as money is wanted to be lent out again. The official quotation is :—Exchequer Bills, of all de scriptions, 46a. to 49a. premium. India Bonds, un der 1,0001., 535. to 545. premium. The Foreign Stock Market has also been very quiet, with scarcely the least business beyond the adjustment of the account, which does not occupy any large share of attention on the part of the dealers. Prices are generally supported, tho only instance of a perceptible deelino being Mexican Bond s , which have declined to 351, and still show a good deal of flatness. To day's business list reports bargains in the following stocks: Brazilian Old Five per Cents., small, 90. Dutch Two-and-a-Ralf per Cents., 591. F:quador Bonds, 31. Mexican Bonds, 3:31, I ; ditto for sect, 30th May, 351. Portuguese Five per Cents. Con verted, It4ll. 311. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1004, 100. Spanish Passive, 51. Venezuela Two-and-a-Quarter per Cents. fur account, 335 ; ditto Deferred, 12, 124. In connexion with the settlement of the fort night's account in the railway share market, a de faulter has this day been declared in the Stock Ex change. The party in question, Mr. James Colquhoun, has been but a short time in the house, and his business has usually been of a very speculative character. Iles "differences" are understood to be to a rather con siderable amount, and to arise out of unsuccessful speculations for a rise, chiefly in Scotch shares. more especially iu Aberdeens, Caledonians, and IN.irth British. From the committee of Mexican bondholders wo have received the subjoined communication : The committee of Mexican boodliulderi had this after noon uu interview with Senor rayon, when they seem highly gratified by the frankness and fullness of uis ea planation on every point interesting to the bondholders, at well as with a positive assurance and promise on his 1,14 that the July dividend should he paid, for which he k..l already made the necessary arran gemen t s . During the week Upper Canada Six per Bonds, at 1071 to 7,, being former rates. Business in Bank Shares has not been so actiro this week. The sales comprise : Australasia (401. paid), 32.:, 32 ; Commercial of London (201. paid), 23' ; London Joint Stock (lot. paid), 171 ; Loudon and Westminster (201. paid), 271, 28 ; toniati paid), 24 t ; Provincial of Ireland (231. paid). 1;11.
