WITH regard to the Italian question, the language held by Lord CLARENDON in the Conferences, and the well known leanings of Lord PALMERSTON, leave little room for doubt as to how the Cabinet stands affected. Still the Cabinet "gives no sign." Nor will it unless soured beyond all doubt that the public will support it. Until it is pertain that the heart of the notion is earnestly set upon the re ;lteration of law, liberty, and tranquillity to the Trace-alpine Peninsula, the Cabinet ought not to intervene seriously in the affairs of Italy. It is to be hoped, therefore, that no time will be lost before measures are taken to ascertain—as far at least as the voice of Parliament can be held to be an index —what the national sentiment on this subject is. Lord Jour Rt ssett. has spoken well and wisely on the condition of Italy in the House of Commons; will he not follow up the blow by embodying his words of warning in a substantive motion ? At the request of Lord CLARENDON, Lord LYNDHURST 'postponed his motion on the state of Italy ; but since the publi cation of the Protocols of the Paris Conferences, there exists no longer any reason foe abstaining from the discussion of the subject. Both of these statesmen are at present untrammelled by the fetters of office, and therefore more favourably plead than Ministers for eliciting an independent expression of the views of the British Parliament respecting Italy. But the subject is not one which admits of being made a mere opportunity for displaying skill in dia lectic fence. It is an urgent practical question. In the North of Italy—from Genoa to Bologna—pre parations are making for an outbreak against the Austrians. The object of intervention must be so to redress the disturbed balsam of power in that region as to prevent the necessity; of an immerge tioo, which would beyond a doubt spread to all parts of the Peninsula, and perhaps further. U England throw herself between the oppressors and the oppressed, order may still be re-established in Italy without recourse to arms. As yet it is only the constitutional party that is on the alert; and the patriotic letter of MANILA shows upon what support this party may reckon, beyond its own immediate rank., if earnestly and promptly upheld. As yet the lees reasooing and more impulsive ultra-Liberal, are quiescent, but this state of things csonot long endure. If the moderate section of the national party in Italy is abandoned to its fate, a revolution will become both justifiable and inevitable. In this matter Italy must be regarded as a whole. It is all very well to say we will support our ally, Sardinia ; but this can only be dons by acting on the rest of Italy. Sardinia is one stronghold of the con stitutional party in the Peninsula. Sicily, at the other extremity of Italy, might, by a mere energetic expression of determination on the part _of England, be converted into another . constitutional stronghold. The communication be tween thaw countries, allied in interests and anti meats, can be easily kept up under the guarantee of France and Eogland. The secularisation of the Roman Government, a ith the immediate withdrawal of the Austrian, and the gradual withdrawal of the French, troops from the States of the Chunk and the Duchies, would go far to restore legal government and tranquillity to Central Italy. The King of NAPLES would be compelled by the force of events to restore • constitutional Government to his territo ries on the main land. All this is easily practicable if the fair professions of the French and English Plenipotentiaries in the Conference of the Bth of April were not mere empty words. But words alone will not suffice, unless it is made apparent that Might is prepared to support Right. The demonstration will be sufficient, but it mint be made in earnest. !,, SUDDEN RETURN OF THE BRITISH AYBAS• SADOR TO PARIS.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 17, 1856. fundamental refotm of his department, and I have some reason to think that if it depend on his efforts the Turkish contingent will be retained as a model force in the Sultan's service. The Minister of Finance is also beginning to grapple vigorously with the abuses hitherto existing in the treasury and its dependencies, and is firmly resolved, it appears, to pat an end to the traffic in foreign specie and the nefarious speculations of cer tain commercial firms, which have been for long years, a standing grievance in this country. The pound sterling has fallen to 120 pre., and the minis ter's determination is to fix it definitively at 110, and he has solicited to this end the co-operation of the whole mercantile community. Provisions within these last few days are begie ning to fall in price, and there is every prospect, bt u hoped, of the usual plenty and abundance. Au immense quantity of barley is in the govern ment stores t it is almost impossible to find a per chimer at 10 piastres the kilt, and it was with diffi culty to be had for tour times that amount during the war. Horses are also to be had for a wing, and a person related to me yesterday that one was pur chased at the French barracks for 10 francs, although I can hardly credit this circumstance. There have been, since my last, several fires, with the usual amount of misery and ruin. These deplorable occurrences are owing partly to the frail and com bustible nature of the edifices, and partly to the de fective system of the fire-engine department. Thus, with the exception of the mosques, - baths, khans, and other noble monuments of the olden times,the whole of Constantinople, it is calculated, is periodically re duced to ashes and rebuilt, in the space of about ten years. This is obviously one reason with many others why—save and except the great officers of state, who all manage coats qui, collo to " feather their matte—there are really few large fortunes acquired by mere labour and industry, among the native populations. Should any have soaped being burnt out—an extremely rare and exceptional piece or good fortune—even the expenses attendant on the recurrence of a fire in the neighbourhood, such es emptying the house, the removal of the furniture, euperadding the extortions of firemen, hamals, and water carriers, together with the plunder and destruction of goods and chattels in general—are such that, in the event of this series of tribulations thrice recur ring, it amounts evidently almost to the total de struction of the premises and effects. It is really remarkable how deep-rooted among all ranks and orders is the doctrine of predestina tion and with what composure, they set about the re-erection of their dwelling!, great and small, and of the self-same fragile and inflammable materials, in a very few days after a conflagration. The oftener a man is burnt out, the more impossible he considers the recurrence, of such a calamity. The Frank quarter of Para at the present day, fortunately, con sists nearly all of solid stone building; but in former times, in a like manner with other districts of the capital, it was periodically consumed by firs. Even the palaces of the foreign embassies, although, isolated gene rally speaking , protected by solid stone walls, and thus in some sort, did not escape the ravages of the destreying element. The British palace, with all the archives, fell a prey to the filmes during the embassy of the late Sir Robert Gordon, at Constantinople. The Russian, French, Swedish, and Dutch embassies had also a similar fate at vari ous intervals, and the two latter have not been re sonstructed up to the present day. Yonyhun tar! Yonghun ear! the appalling fire cry in the dead of the night, is not easilyeffeced from the recollection of those who have sojourned for any time in this capital. The lees of life and property, the misery and destitution, the hideous yelling of the firemen, the tramp of cavalry, the howling of the dogs, the heartrending shrieks of women and children, the ghastly throng in the streets, the hapless sufferers irrevocably ruined, shivering with cold, and in a halt state of nudity, are some few only of the harrowing associations connected with these two terrific words, and indelibly graven on the memory of all. On Thursday last the Treaty of Peace was pub lished in the Turkish official journal, and the trans lation in French two days after appeared in the Jour nal de Ctntalantittople. I have not as yet had time to ascertain the state of public opinion in respect to this final arrangement. The Sultan's Manifesto is distin guished by that same moderation which eharaoterhoe in general Turkish state papers. The French seem disposed to leave to the residents of Pens a valuable memento of their presence in the capital. There is a ruined cemetery, the Piccolo Campo, you are perhaps aware, in the immediate vicinity of the main street, which has remained a Caput mortuum and unmolested for ages. Our allies, however, must probahly with the taut consent of the government, have managed to knock up a few tempo rary huts for a company of their sappers and miners, who are quietly and busily employed in laying out the ground and converting it ,into a public prome nade, with a central platform for music, which they also provide once a week. No opposition has been manifested by the Musul man population of the district, and this really looks like progress and a better order of things. There is, I may mention, a vast number of useless government possessions, such as Galata Semi, the Tekt, and others, in the neighbourhood of the Frank quarter, which if sold for the construction of dwelling-houses would realise millions. The Rhamazan set in yesterday, and the illumina tions far surpassed those intended to greet the an notmosrasnt of peace. FRANCE. The journals of the centre and south of France , such as the Journal do CAer, the Indieateur de Bog dram; the tiironde, and the Aigle of Toulouse, bring accounts of distressing inundattone The Gen, the Garonne, the Tarn, the Woe, the Adour, and the ' Nice have overflowed their banks, causing great damage to the agriculturists of their valleys. A letter from Marseilles of the 12th says :—" The rise in the price of corn continues, and wheat his again advanced in to-day's market 11. 500. the hecto. litre." This advance is generally connected with the unfavourable amounts received from Algeria. Eleven thousand French troops arrived at Mar seilles from the But, between the 9th and 13th inst. The Mutts says that all the reports which have been circulated respecting disorders at Nicomtdia, io Turkey, and which, it was stated, were of so serious a nature that the Eaglish cavalry had to act against the people, are completely false. Not even the most trivial disturbance has occurred at Ntcomedia, and the same contradiction can be given to the pretended disturbances at Magnesia. Solima Each', governor general of Smyrna, has written to the government that, as soon as the rumours reached him, he set out for Magnesia in person, and assured himself upon tho re spot that the ports h ad no foundation. The Constantinople correspondent of the Presse gives the following account of the disturbances at Maruch : A hirrible *fair has jest happened at blarasch.

WEST INDIA MAILS. --4.-- (BY =MAIO TILIORATR.) (TROY ova OWN OORRIBTONDINT.) SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY. The Parana, with the West India and Pacific mails, has arrived. She brings 137 passengers, 900,000 dollars in specie, 23,000 dollars' value in precious stones, and the usual cargo. The dates of the Parana are—Jamaica and Trini dad, April 27; Demerara, 26; Barbadoes, 28; and St. Thomas, May 1. _ _ _ There is little news from the West India Islands. They were reported healthy, but raia wu much wanted. Intelligence from Nicaragua, by telegraph, oia Panama, states that Oreytown was blockaded by the British ship Eurydice on the 20th ult. The steamers Isabel and Charles Morgan had reached Oreytown from New Orleans, and landed 500 men for Walker. A brig from New Orleans was expected at Orey town for Walker, and would be stopped on her arrival by the Earydioe. The United States steam ers Fulton and Merriman, with her Britannic Majesty's steamer Termagant, were daily expected, with two French ships, to join the blockade. In the Banta Rosa fight Walker lost twenty-lix men, and Costa Rica fifteen men and four officers. President Mora invaded Nicaragua with 2,500 men, and was to attack Walker in Rini about the 19th ult. 2,000 men left Cogutipeque„Saludor, on the 14th, to help Costa Rica. Heavy rains had fallen in Jamaica. The streets in Kingston were converted into formidable rivers, brick walls had been precipitated to a distance of fifty feet, small houses in the suburbs, and gullies, have been washed away. The rains have washed up a diabolical instrument of human torture; it is made of iron hoops with screws, and is so constructed u to fit the largest or smallest person ; attached to it are manacles for the hands. The inside of the knee bars and the resting place for the soles of the feet are studded with spikes. When found, the perfect skeleton of a 'egress was enclosed in the instrument. l The Morning Herold says:—"We learn from Islay (Peru) that Mr. Gibson's (the Ame rican Consul) residence was attacked end fired into by the soldiers. It appears that some persons, wishing to overthrow Castillon's govern ment, entered Islay, end bribed the soldiers, who, however, informed the authorities. The rioters were ordered to be apprehended, and one of them rushed into Mr. Gibson's house for protection- The soldiers, without asking Mr. Gibson to deliver him up, fired volley after volley into the premise., which were riddled with balls in every direction. They rushed into the house, firing as they proceeded, and never desisted till Mr. Gibson threw down a I l French flag amongst them. It is wonderful how he and his family escaped death. The man who was the cases of all this disturbance wee employed, it is said, by some party who is in the pay of the former President." TURKEY. (non ors ows coaassrownsny.) CONSTANTINOPLE, MAT 6. According to a semi-official announcement in the Port, the recall of Lord Radcliffe, it appears, has been postponed sine die. This circumstance indubitably will disconcert not a little some politicians, here and elsewhere, who had been long eagerly speculating on a quite o pposite result. Our government, however, in this instance has acted well and wisely, rest assured—not only with a view to British and ' Turkish interests, but to those of the whole Euro pean commonwealth. liumanum eot errare, foibles and frailties are inespirable from this our mortal state, bet, en the whole, all will concur, I think, eventually in the opinions so ably advocated in your columns. I, foe one, feel convinced that no other living diplomatist, at least In this part of the world, can compete with Lord Radcliffe, a statesman whom the experience of nearly half a century hes so admirably qualified foe the arduous and perplexing duties inci dent to the present juncture. His friend Reschid Pasha is still in retirement— and many usually well-informed persons consider the return of this statesman to power as next to an im possibility. I am not, however, of that opinion, knowing, as I do, the composition of the Osmanli's, and their boundless commiseration for human frailty. Nelda kouroudoss is an old and goodly Turkish adage—that is to say, " Wet a handkerchief • in thy wrath, and, u soon as dry, forgive and forget." In all cases, how ever, Reechid, possessing as he dose unquestion ably great talents, varied acquirements, and a fond of political knowledge, has been planed beyond the reach of widests by the munificence of hie sovereign. He is in the receipt of a life pension amounting to pre. 10,000 per mouth, and has acquired besides in every direction vast and valuable landed possessions. His money, jewels, and funded property likewise are generally estimated at every considerable amount. Ono of hie most valuable estates is at Ernirgbian, which, on the demise of the late Hoerew Packs, reverted to the crown, and was ceded as special favour foe about 8,0001.—a mere nominal value. It is, without 'Keep tine, the finest property and one of the most magnificent sites on the Bosphorus, comprising a spacious mansion, with offices, kiosks, veran dahs, delightful gardens and pleasure-grounds, besides an immense tract of country, some coverall hundred wires, in the highest possible state of oulti ration. The palace, which was in perfect preserve- 1 tion, and a beastiful old model of Turkish architec tare, has been, however, almost entirely reconstructed and enlarged by the present possessor, and at a cost, it is said, of nearly 30,000,000 piastre.. Mehemet Ali Poch* is luxuriating at the palace of his Imperial consort, the Sultana Adileh, and waxing daily, I am informed, in court in fluence sad the royal favour. Hence, if he have the will, the means are not wanting forrendering a most important service to his country, by introduc ing a radical reform in the admiralty department. In the opinion of all those conversant with these matters the one thing necessary Is a small steam navy with the addition of an Anglo-Ottoman contingent, which would give it efficiency in time, and suffice foe every purpose. All those immeuse old ships are fine models, I am told, bat totally useless at the present day; and they consume besides, is repairs and maintenance, en almost fabulous amount annually of the government revenues. They are monster vampyres, to all intents and purposes; and this reminds me of a ludicrous anecdote re lated concerning a certain pasha of Belgrade in farmer times, who being &sirens of cultivat ing friendly relations with his neigh_ _bear the mili tary governor Bemlin, bethought himeeff see day, es a small Mhos of reg ard, et sending hhm as ele phant, sad asteally &epeeist • mummer to an norms that the &vale& wanes its tray I bat the Here Omaniaadant wee • wise and palest more, semi eau mooing forthwith a seamen of war is this l he urged the absolute amenity of el I l Liti ft..

FOURTH DAY. This itoportantand protracted trial wasresumed this morning. The Interest teams to Merano as the c.ae ad vances, and to-day the coact eppeared fuller than ever, Intl, owing so the admirable erraagements of the sheriffs, not at all inconveniently so. E.rl Grey, Mr. Dallas, the Americas Minister, gni several other distinguished personeges were on the bench, bet the Earl of Derby was not present to-day, while it was observed that the attend ance of the fair se: had dwindled down to a solitary dame somewhat advanced in life. The prisoner is considerably improved in appearance sites yesterday. I h.re is no shade of anniety upon h s !Attires to day, but • sort of carelets indif ferent espreision, and throughout the whole of the morn ing he leant, with his arms crossed upon the dock, in a lounging meaner, as though be ware a mere unconcerned spectator in the mending.. George Bates was the Hist wane!' called this morning. He was eiamined by Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and deposed as follows :—I am a sort of a farmer. I have koown the prisoner eight or nine years. In September, October, and November last year, I used to look after his stock. I had no salary for that. I received no stated salary, but I re ceived mosey occasionally, sometimes 21, and at other times 11 I lodged in Hugeley, and paid 6.. 6d. per week for my apartments. lam not a married man. I knew John Parsons Cook, the deceased. I remember seeing him at Palmer's house some time in September. I dined with him at Palmer's table. I remember after dinner something was .aid, in Cook's presence, 'boat insuring my life. I cannot ell whether the conversation was begun by Cook or Palmer Mr. Bedevil She. objected to thi;eviclinec, as it related to a matter which occurred long prior to the desths. The Atterney-General said the evidec ce wculd be brought down to November, aad connected with the prisoner's com munication with Mr. Pratt after the death. After a brief consultation, The Lard Chief JUStiCS said be wu at first of opieion that this evidence ought not to premed, but upon consult ing with his learned brothers, he found they were of opi •ion that it wu adm'ssible. Emanation costumed—l remember the death and in quest upon Cork. I know Mr. Webh Ward, the coroner. I saw the prisoner on the evening of the Bth December, while the Inquest was being held. Palmer gave me the letter now produced, telling me to go to Stafford the nest morning with it. At the mime time be gave me a letter to a man named Fran'', • dealer in game in Starr& He told me there would be • package of game selected by France, end I was to direct it and send it to Mr. Ward. 1 got the game and directed it, " Webb Ward, Etq., Co roner, Stafford." I directed it myself, according to Pal mer's directions, and I afterwards gave a man three perms to take it to Mr. Ward, but I delivered the letter to him which Palmer had given me myself. I found him at the Dolphin. at Stafford. He was siting is the smoking-room, and I told him I wasted to speak to him. He came oat into the yard or paeesge, and I gave it him there—there were other people in the room. I had no directions from Palmer as to bow I was to deliver the letter. I saw the prisoner again when I went back to Bartley that night. and I told him that I had delivered the letter I took to &afford that clsy, and had sent a boy with the game. I remember Thursday. the 13th of December. On that day I was sent for to the prisoner's house early in the morning—probably about 12 o'clock. I went accord ingly, and found Palmer in bed. He raid he wanted me to go to Stafford to take Webb Ward a letter, and I was not to let soy one see it. I was to take oars I let no one see me give it. On the Saturday previous be had given MO SOCHI money, sad on this day he told me to go to " Ben," and say he wanted • Si. note. Ben is Mr. Tbirlby, his assistant. He said be had no small change. I believe then be asked me to look In the drawer of his dressing-table, and tell him the amount of the bank bill I should find there. I la.thed and found a 604 Bank of England bill. I left it there. This was before he gave me the letter to Webb Ward. Ha,- ieg found that letter I went to Thinks'''. and got a 51. note on a local bank, which I took back to Palmer. I then went dawn stain, and left him sitting up in bed. There ware writing materials on the bed. I remained down stain about half an hour, and than went up again. Palmer asked me again what was the amount of that bill in the drawer. I looked seals, and I believe the bill there was the same I had seen before. He then gave me the letter to Webb Ward, and I went to Stafford with it. I delivered it in the street between the station and the Dolphin. He did not read it in my prence., but crumpled it up, and put it in his pocket. I believe I told Ward from whom I had brought it. I went bark to Hugeley, and saw the prisoner again that evening. I told him that I had given Ward the letter. _ Cron-examined—Palmer had four brood marts, four gidd ier, and a s.yesr-old at Rug,ley. I have heard that one of them has meld for 800 guineas. Noose of the mares were is foal. The stables were some short dis tant)* teem his house, at the beck of it, and the paddocks at the back of them. Palmer had about twenty acres of ground there. The indicas were fenced with growing hawthorn. I remember shortly before the month of December a more called the Duchess of Kent beteg there. She was in foal. There was a mare moiled Gal findee's dam. I remember complaining to Harry of the turf being cat up io the paddccke, but I had nev r ream any drip run them. Harry was e room. There was a gun in the .tsble, but 1 don't know whose it was, or whether it wee fit to use. Harry's surname is Hocking. I remember 'seeing a person in Rugeley who was a stranger tome. I don't know where be pat up. I don't know a, he put up at all. (A laneh.) I do not know whether it was Inspector Yield, bat they raid it was him. Hr-examined.—lt was after the hay harvest that I com plained of the ground being cat up, and before Cook's death. Mr. Thomas Bliaaart Curling was then called and exa mined by the Attorney•Oene ral—l am a surgeon at the Leaden Hospital. I have tamed my siltation particularly to the 'eject of tetanus , and publi.hed a work on that sub ject. Tetanus lignites a eptemodic affection 01 the measles of motion. Of the tine disease there ere only two eons et tetanus—idle fame and thematic. There are other sorts of tetanus. The first is a kind of disease apparently set it Deriding; thematic 'stones arises fr,m • wound or other disturbing cause. The first arises from exposure, damp, and cold, bat it is a rare disease In this country. It does not always end fatally. I have seen ass of idiopathic tetanus. Thaumain Means is much more frequent, end is attended with tightness of the jaw, stiffness of the muscles of the neck, cramping of the at. mob, and c ontinued immune of the b.:cly. A. the disease goal on, the paroxysm. oecidne moro frequent and severe. When they occur, the body is drawn bummed' in some instances, though less Demi , n'ly it is bent forward. In this latter case there is a defiled. y of serallewiapi; a difficulty of breathing also during the ro paxysms. The disease may end in two days; the patient will die somewhat suddenly friss suff cation, owing to the closure of the (Teeing to the windpipe, or the patient may be worn out by the meters and painful spasms which attend the diseue. The disease is constantly attended by loading or the jaw, and it is an early symptom of the dismiss. There is another symptom in the peculiar expreicion of the countenance ot a pir. , cnt suffering hot:athematic tetanus, and a slight a ntraction of the eyelids, a rising of the angles of the month, end con traction of the brow. The lower extremities are sometimes affected by the disease, and in some cue,, but rarely, the unite , . lithe wound is in the extremities, the muscles of the extremities are easily &Miami ; but, supp sing there is no wound, they are only affected in an advanced rage of she disease. I throat or mph lc. I know of polinstence where sytheli tic sores have produced thanenati , tetanus. Eight or ten hoar' is the shortest period in which tee disease has rule out to my knowledge. The disease, when once c la mented, is continuous, and I have never known a ease where a man rag been attacked one day, has got better 4Wtwenty-filar hones, and than attacked sgolo. I have heard Mr. Jones tote suryeoa's deaeriptioo of the death of the deceased 0n,., and the symptoms there w. re not consimett with soy rase of thaumat c tetsnua teat has ever come tinder my notice.

Croat-examined by Mr. 8-rjeant Shee—Spume I have known WWI from dipease of the spies' cord. I sere. wiih Dr. Wavers that, In some eves, tetanus may arise ir very light oausos—such as the prick:Lig of a borer, the sticking of a fleh•b •nr, or the coting of a corn. I know of no well authenticated rase where tetanus has ensued within a flouter of en hour after the toff colon of a wound. Whea I wrote my book on the disease I was only tweetr two years of ego, bat I have sines hod opportunities of wall matoring my judgment. Thsumatio tetanus is not likely to h. brought ..f en into holital, hot I ki:ow of a en," haying r , cently occurred at the London Hospital. where ',tonne came on so suddenly that it was attributed to stryehnia. The body I have heard was examined, het no etryctinia was found, though there were old syphilitic moo dirc..verad on the body. Syphditie sores, attended by ex posure to wet and me oral excitement,are not likely to produce thaurnetio tetanus. Tasting produced by the friction of eons would come rather under Iles hood of thauniatie tetanus. Ireita-ton of the ipt.stioes, when it po• deco tetanus, 1 place under the class of idiopathic Wiens. The contractions of epilepsy era not on. tinsous. I have never met with an Matinee of ge neral c iovolsions which can be attributed to no direct cans., and which have left no tram• behind them. but which yet night rave resented at the time • tetaziie arrest It may mew, is the case of children, that death m .y f Mow costins . mo shocks of eontralsioos, and yet there nary be no after *playtime of disease; but I have known it recur in adult.. lam not aware of say cam where thaumatio utszies has been &reanimated by premonitory symptoms, bet the elm of eases to which the gnestirn applied bed not ranch come under my observatton es a \capita surgeon. Re examined—General convulsions are may &tin &IMO!, from tetanus propaly so called. Dr. Todd, examined by the kttomey•Osseral-1 am * physician of many year, rtaodiog. I have directed my attention to the disease called tetanus, and have lectured at the hoopitele. I have seen two wee of whet seemed to be indiopathie tetanus. I defire that form of tetanus to be— tetanus which is produced without any esteem' wound, or by soy icternal or constitutional mutes I don't think the term tetanus ought to be applied to cues of poison. I have seen eases of rheumatic tetentis where symptom have been precisely the came at of idiopathic tom us. The disease begin,. with stiffness and tightness of the jaw. The symp toms then extend means to the ether mmetes of the body, and they gradually develops theteeeiven Acute cases will te rolinete in three or four due, thrush) cases will go on from nineteen to twenty three ?aye. The shortest period I have Rooms is tt ree or tour days. In these uses the extremities are affeetel, but not so much as the mercies end trunk. L thing t f the jaw is an early symp tom of the disease. Emit ply will nit produce titanic symptoms, it may sometimes produce tonvuleoce of a tetania form, but they are very different from tumour. In epilepsy there is always a loss of consciotienen, but in tetanus there is not. Apoplexy is never aceorapeoted with tetanie convulsions, but sometime, ernes there is an unusual effusion of blood to the brain, apoplexy may assume the form of tetanie rovulsiont. I lieu heard the symptoms described in • his cue at death, and alao the appearances afte death, a levdop: dat the post mertees examination, and I am of op I ion that they are not these of tetanus. cu r c h i s e . A e t t t h o r e n e e . y . -G f e o c r e t r h a e l h p ere tit onur ta t : . dtatiya, and t f i, p r e d th t a ts t purpose it was now necessary that he should take Mr. But ford'a *eider ce. That gectleman, however, was still usable to attend, and he must therefore apply to the court for leave to read his depositions before the coroner. Evidence was then pat in to show that Mr. Bamford, who It will be remembered II toe elderly medical gentleman who attended Cook during his illness at Rugeley, was suffer hig Trom an attack cf Bootie& cholera. Dr. Todd and Dr. Tweedie, who gave this evidence, said it wee a most severe muck, and at first considerable apprehensions had been felt for the patient's life. The Attorney-General said in the event of the case of the prosecution extediog ever till Monday, he would then call Dr. Bamford, should he be sufficiently recovered to be able to attend. The depositions were then read, they which the examina tion of the former witness wee resumed. Examination of Dr. Todd continued—From all I have heard, lam certainly not of opinion that death was pro duced by apoplexy, nor from epilepsy. I have never known tetanus arise fr in syphilitic sores, or from sore throat. There are poisons which will produce tetanic con 'Widths. The principal are tee 001 v mica, strychnia, end promise ; but I have never urn death in • human being produced by these. I have frequently um animals destroyed by them. I 'heat not like to give a subject a clutter of a grain of these poisons. It is not unlikely that h-lf a grain would destroy life, but certainly a grain. I have a-en est, and deps destroyed by strychnine admfoisteted to the extent of half a grain. A moderate don will begin to ihow its effectn in the spinal musclu ; the spine is drawn back, and the trunk bowed in a very marked manner. The extremities commence with violent jerks and then stiffen. The motion of the muscles is a rigid jerk, and the feet are forced out of the r mind coutruction. The duration of the convulsions depend upon the cutest of the dose. If a large dose, death result) ensue la a quarter of sac hour, when the consulsions would be gradually reduced. There is is a marked distinction between these symptoms and those of threum.tic tetanus. In tetanus the symptoms from the commencement ate eontinamus up to death, loot in the ease of poison there are intermissions. I have never sees a person die from strych nia, but I have seen one suffer form an overeme, and the convulsions were similar to those I have described, though la a modified degree. There was a insure of the brain, and a d•Mculty of breathing, but the action on the jaw, if there was any, was very slight. There is an important distinction between these cases and that of Cook, as he was able to swallow, but still I think the symptoms were thou of tetanus by strychnine. Cressiezamined by Mr. Grove—There are eases where mild chronic convulsions have taken the foam of tetanie spasms. Chronic tionvalsiont are the irregular sullen of the muscles, but titanic spasms are more violent. I adhere to the opinion I have already publirieil in a lecture, that strychnine infused into the blood will develops precisely the same phenomena se thrsumatic te teams. In a pathological point of view it is of importacce that an itemisation of the spinal cord should take place shortly after death to discover morbid epp scarce,. By the Court—l believe if there were di_ the morbid @marine*. would be perceptible oa long as the substance of the spinal marrow remained undeco-nrined. Croat-examination continued—The re is nothing in the post mute= eumioetion to indicate that the patient died of tetanus. Is the ease of the animals I have referred to I arbserved that if they were touched in the intervals between the convulsions the spume Mims distelv revive, end they re tained that tendency for some time after the close of the fits. la all them cases I have observed that the heart was con tracted, end generally empty en both sides. The tune of death in cam of po'soso by strychnine is due to the rigidity of the respirerry muscles, but chiefly to the exhaustion of the nervous sys tem. relents sometimes bane ennualsior a after poisoning by morphia, and time convulsions pa take of epileptio character . Re-examined—Death from culture tetanus would cot leave any thing very peculiar shout the teen, but there would yet be a coeucc•ion. In tetanus produced by strychnine, however The mark, the contuct,on is nuked, and highly perceptible.marked feature in this case is the rigidity of tr e muscles en lit g after death. Sir Beeijansin Brodie examined by Mr. E Jamer—l have seen many cis« sof thrumatio te'anue, hue, i emir:lira to m ext otiose., idiopathic tetanus is exceedingly rare n this eouetry. I have attended closely to the evidences, to far ee it relates to the want. mead death of Cook, and, as far as the spasmodic convul.ions of the mute's; are c oseerned, they appear to me to be those of threumaric tetanus, but the course which they took is en , irely different. The symptoms of thrsumatic tetanus always brgio very gradually, and as far as I have seen the stiffeem of the lower jaw is the thing first compleioed of. Then the enter settee of the muscles r f the beck is ilium a later symptom ; generally much later. The muscles of tint extremities are affected in a much less degree than those of the neck and trunk, except foil; some easel where the injury hen been in the limb, and an early symptom Las been spasmodic contraction of the ntheeles of that limb. I do not myself recollect a case in ordinary tetanus that contracts-n of the muscles of the hand, which I understand re, stated to have existed in this instance. The ordimiry tetanus rarely rue its course in less than two or three dam slid often is protre cttd to a matt logger pe riod. I knew one ease only in which the disease was 'aid to have terminated in so abort a tim as twelve hum, but probably in that case the early symptcms bad been over looked. I a knew the symptoms of ordinary te tanus to lut for • few minuter, thin aubside, then come on again after twenty.four hour.. I think that these are the principal points of difference which I perceive between the symptoms of ordinary tetanus and th no I have heard described in thin cam. I do not believe that the came of death In this are •a: Pithe r idio t:Pattie or thraumatio tetanus. Have never heerl of Wa ne, produced by a sore throat or any form of syphilitic dis ease. The symptoms in this case ore tot thou of sooptezy or epi'epsy, but I may as wail ma's at once that I never caw a can in which the symptoms which I have heard de er bed area from any disease. When I ssy that, of course I refer not to the particular symptoms but to the general course which the symptoms them solo s t. ok. C mis-examined by Mr. Serjete t B°ee—l remember One as being shown to me in the hospi'ol which was tossed to be I 10-athic tetanus, but I very much doubt whether it was I have never Men syphilitic poison produce coned slow, except when is was in the bones of the heed. Daniel examined by the Atto-ney. General—l wu:for many Terri surgeon at the Westminster Hospital and I have been in practise nearly 36 years ; I have Peen n conside rate:la ameba of cases of tetanus. I steu!el think at least one aye I'. Two of them were certainly c sea of idiopatbio tel sus, one only terminated fatally. I agree with the rest of the medical evidence that idiopathic tetanus is very rare. It seems to be a modification of than 'petit worm, but not so severe. I was not able to trace these twit sues to any particular vette. I have heard tie ductile fee. given of the umptoma which accom panied the attack ou Mr. Cook. The symptoms of that attack were ameerl y different from the cues of tetanus that came toiler my obrerra• ion. Theurnetie tetanus im mediately begins with uneasiness in the lower jaw, followed by spasms of the muse:es of the trunk, and most frequently extent:kg to the muncher rif the limbs. Lock j.w is one of the earliest emplane. I do not recollect that clenching of the hand was a frequent symptom, but I think I have seen it. Ido nor remember observing twiating of the feet. In the coats that I have seen I cannot recollect any cases in which symptoms ctn. tinned for less thsa from 30 to 40 brute. I never knew a case of syphilitic sore producing tetanus, nor can the symptoms I base beard d ocrthed be referable to apo plexy or epilepsy. In ho'h apoplexy and el ills , ay, there is a loss of coneciousnese. In ail the cues of tetanus that have come under my ob. creation, consciousness has been retaliated to the lag, In the taus that I have seen the convulsion. have horn invariably con tinuous, and gone on without intermission; they generally ecitontenced vary mild. and isicreseed in at verity. lu my opinion the symptoms of Mr. C ok cannot be attributed either to idiopathic or thatmeatic tetanus. Cross-examined by Mr. Orove—l never knew of a case where there was a loop interval. I have not of late looked much into the cases of tetanus, nor do I well recollect my reading on the subject. The eynaprome of meet awe convulsion vary much in i fluent subject.. lam speaking of thiamine tetanus, and I do not think they vary much. Death in such cases frequently arises from exhaustion, and bus suf focation. I eau t Pay whether in death from suffocation the heart would be feel Irecl, ct lost reortem examina tions in cases of death from to anus to say that there was e any alteration in the internal appearatti of he holy to accoact tor death.
