templated as its object the goverment of Ben.. by those power., and that England sad Frahm guanoteed to Austris all her ;mutt penurious. I ea astealehed that it. right hoe. gentleman should have made aseenions with regard to that d *lament which any are who looks at it would au are inapplicable to it. The treaty does anther the oss or the other. It neither implies that the three contra, ciao parties , have any authority over, or pre t.od to any betatrons** with this general affairs of Earope,there is lot "syllable is ft which gives aoy poarutu to AwtrlO with regard to her possessions. The three row netting pieties to the treaty had one otjeet only. It was one of the tint proposals it the Austrian gcveinmert at the Congress of Vistula, last year, that those should be a minus .1 ourgement between France and Engle:id and !Lorna, that gravities should be male in whatever treaty wes inured into to were the integrity of the Turkish empire. Ti. treaty refer. ho that, and to that alone ; and I, there tore, am totally at a loos to understand where it is, in that treaty, that he Sada anything on which he founds an im pressi,th, that it is • treaty ereotieg these thin powers into arbiters of the amities of Europe, or binding England and Frame, to sty guarantee whatever of the territorial poems sloes of Austria. Therefore, there is nothing of aeons 'latency between the provisions of that treaty and the inof Paris, or any 'Dugout"' in the diplomatic inteseuree diet hes taken ;don between the British govern ment and Sardinia. The right boa. gentleman has, I think, folly justified what paned in the conferences of Paris, la tepid to the unfostasate condition in which molly perio of Italy now an; he did not, perhaps, go so Si, in eaoressing censure, but by the anticipations which he *t ressed of a better destiny for them in futon, be rely sip adieentiy showed what he thoeght of the present state of that a •untriee. H. may or may not agree with Coast C.vour es to the extent to which nsi!itary unpations of duff portions of Italy by treops not brimming to the countries which they occupy, effect the Upturn, the prosperity, the welfare and good order of those states. I b.ve no hesitation la sayieg that I think thus oircupitioas are misfortunes. and ought to cease Si sou as is practicable.

(Churn) But with retard to any en gagement for that pupas, there is sothiog hat what is patent I • oil the world, en the fees of these protocols; these matters were (weedy dimmed at the Calderas, or Ithria, to presence of the Austrian misisters; there was se eon- W stover win felt was publicly stated ; there WY no mystery in the matter; **wink's, felt were euirvand without the slightest reserve; mid than wan perfect good faith in all the, parties to those dianusloon Now, with regard to 1848 and 1819, those are trunnions which have been often discuased in thus bout.

Tim spectacle presented by the House of Commons yesterday evening, while listening to the CHANCLIe LOS of the EicIiZQUAR . II financial statement, and , daring the friendly chat rather than debate that fol lowed it, was in every way in keeping with many a Deena that has been presented at Westminster during the last two or three years. The great historic drama of the Russian war has at length been played out, and last night witnessed a sort of prosaic finale, during which all the active interest of the piece being over, the audience are beginning to think of going home, and some of the performers beginning inwardly to feel uneasily curious as to what sort of figure they have cut, and what the impartial public really think of them. Here and then signs of misgiving are betrayed by the more ambitious, who have bees less applauded than they hoped to have been; and they make efforts to attract a parting look of favour or recognition, end march up and down the stage provocatively, with the air of men who wish it to be understood that, were their parts east differently, or in any other play than that just con cluded, they would do wonders, and the world would be charmed with them. Meanwhile,all concurred with one another that the bills ought to be handsomely paid, and the merits of the old manager loudly, if not heartily, acknowledged. There was a asap and a snarl, parporwathsai, about something or nothing, as thecae, may bet but upon the whole no Budget revealing a sue. plaid ineorae,and announcing a remission of unpopular Imams, was ever better received than that of Bir, , G. tkianzw&u, LEWIS, the upshot of whose two hours' speech was to tell that, after certain re ductions of war estimates for the year 1866.7, there would still be a deficiency, which be proposed to meet by borrowing on New Consols and Exchequer Bonds or Bills. The best that can be said of the Camicaixon of the ExamGunt's statement is, that not pre tending to make any revelations or suggestions of novelty, it reveals much that is important and assuring as to the financial condition of the country, and is emi nently suggestive of future good to those who have minds capable of the stiff work of accurate com parison, computation, and combination. Some thing of this conviction breaks out in the earnest recommendations of all the ez•Chaneellors of the Exchequer who spoke, that Government would hold their hand for this session upon every question that may be raised for remission or improvement of any description. Who knows, thinks Mr. Daum, Sir FRANCIS BARING, and Mr. GLADSTONE, each on his own account—who knows what may turn up before oat session P Who an tell what oombinations may be dislocated that now exist, and others formed that now do not? And how much better to let deficits, and loam and taxes, good, bad, and indifferent, all trundle on for this year as they are, that other men may hare a chance of doing, financially, the magnificent next year. Lord PALMUSTON is a man always ready to sloes with offers of this kind. He has through out his long and varied political ye been • firm and devoted believer in the creed that to day is worth • dozen tomorrow., and that the past and the future, though very convenient to talk about in debate, may, as compared with the present, be , safely treated as if they had no existence at all. Parliament being content to let thiop remain se they are till next session, the Panama will not allow forebodings or promises, come whines they may, to trouble his repose. He will du the best he can with the means at his disposal ; and when the time comes for other =satires, he relies upon his powers of rapid 'apprehension and adaptation to judge of what course be ought then, but not till then, to take. We are neither praising nor blaming the quality of mind we allude to,—eimply noting its existence me explanatory of the pro Am ricel character of the Budget, and the obvious satisfaction with which the recognition of this essential future thereof by the House, MI hailed by the FIRST Mnnnu. A urns mare thaa twenty years ago, when Imam EMMA Wed Syria for the Viceroy of EGYPT, it became seconsary to call in Stossalman authority to keep the pease among the Christians in Passion Week in fern. Wes. Immature Psata went in &MU if the congre gation on one occasion, believing that his presence would preserve order. In the midst of the uproar and heat—which is indeed like hell let loose, or a witches Sabbath—he unfortunately fainted : his soldiers cu- tied bite out with a V1010;09 which did not eaten the multitude, and many lives were lost. There was no esesrtainiog the number killed; bat there were SO many that peat change. were introduced into the proosedinge—changes which seem to show that more might easily be effected. The removal of the altar cloth was a cause of quarrel between tfie Greeks and Armenians; and they were not satisfied with being allowed the privilege in alternate years. After the slaughter in 1834, the Mantilla's Governor removed the cloth. A far greater change was, that the mira culous fire was no longer emitted from the Sepulchre in green and red flames free the two holes appointed to the Greeks on the one side, and the Armenians on the other. A torch is mow handed out and earried round the rotunda, for the people to light their candles at. The late CZAR hoped and believed that, after such a change as this last, a farther step towards the abolition of the whole extravagance might be safely taken; but he was deterred by warnings of the probable effect of perplexing the faith and disappointing the seal of the pilgrims, in whose eyes this ceremony is the great event of their lives. Daring the two years of the war the pilgrimage fell off. There were not SO many devotees as usual by many thousands. This year there were about 6.000--more than of late, but still a small number. It appears that, the better is their position in regard to the Tarim, the &row is their mood towards each other. They have brought with them their fends from Asia Minor and the Greek Wanda, and joined them to those of the Greek and Leda Christian in Jerusalem, and have given a loose to their passions before the altar of the holiest church in Christendom. It was not only ander the *teal/min of the suspense of wait ing foe the mineeloes Are, and serembling over one seethe/es heads to set war the seem of the dame: them were steam and weapons depteited is goadingse behind the pillars; and more were staged in THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING}, MAY 20, 1856. the Creek convent at hand, and given out through a window whilst the fray was proceeding. Both parties were thus prepared, it seems, and they succeeded in seriously injuring each other, though the Pasha and the Commandant had four hundred soldiers on the spot to keep order. Many 'Dirks and about fifty Christians were seriously hurt by the fighting in the church ; and the fight was kept up in the streets afterwards. If it i. true that, besides the breakage of glass, and of the ornaments and utensils of the church, certain valuable pictures have been destroyed, there is reason to hops that some check may he imposed on this disgusting celebration before next Easter. The Greeks supplied new lamps, and cleaned the floor from the oil and fragments; but they cannot supply the loss of the paintings; and this is very well. The Pasha did what he could to pre vent the rival sectaries from meeting, taking oare that no Armenian or Greek entered the church during the cervices of the antagonist met. The Chris tian Governments of Europe must do something more before next year: if they had Mohammedans brawling . - . 'in a mosque in London, or Moscow, or Pub, flying at on. another's throats, sad mauling the soldiers ant to keep order, the Christian Powers would call upon the SULTAN to take measures for abating the anima. It would be no answer that the brawlers belonged to rival sects; and the SULTAN must not be pat off with such an excuse by his Christian allies. He has seen enough of the stealing of relics—the stops of the Angel on the one hand, and of the silver star at Bethlehem on the other; and of the mutual obstruction in building churches and rival destruction of venerable tombs, and efforts at ejection from cos vent and chapel. He has enough of the fighting in Baster week. He must be wondering how it is that the minimise's from America and elsewhere, while themselves respectable and peaceable, seem able to do nothing more—in Asiatic Turkey at WA— than to make a new schism among the Armenian% impelling the old church to drive out the reformed who read the Bible, and are scandalised at the doings at Jerusalem in Baster week. For the Bomazes sake, for that of both classes of his subjects, and of all the sects which they include; for the sake of the Christian name, so foully dishonoured by these este of its professors; and for the sake of the in fluence of the Allies at Constantinople, no dee should be last in extinguishing the scandals of which all parties have a right to complain. The SULTAN is loyally doing his duty by his Christian subjects and his Allies. If the Czar entertains his ifathees view of the Baster pilgrimage, will he not try another limitation—that of the holy fire having answered, u far as it goes? Will not the Fri:cell EMPEROR, whom the Pore calls the Eldest Son of the Church, apply to Rome to restrain the disorders on the Latin side of the Christian feud? Austria might help by her interoession to the same effect. Pro- testant England Gan hardly exercise any direct action : bat it is doing something to point out to the heads of the Greek and Latin churches that the Christian religion has small chance of extension in the East while its professors disgrace it in its own Holy Pleas, and are safe from each other only under Sluesulman protection. If the grave Tack ever laughs in the face of his guest it must be when he is told that Christianity is the reli gion of peace and love. through the pails of this dangerous voyage with much courage and self-possession, and were all soon safely landed, and properly marshalled on the jetty. The acne here was found to be really Aso and imposing. Coes to the lading stain a platform bad been railed off fee the presentation of tbs address, and from it a passage 03VOTIMI with cadet sloth led up to the gentle minim% upon which the ponderous foundation Memo of the Victoria Hospital, poised in sir, formed the most con viscous object. Around, but at a reepatful distance, as amphitlestric gallery accommodated the ails of the tows, who come u spectator, and long lima of soldiers kept the ground and c implated the picture. The site of the new hospital, whisk met 16,0001., has been admirably selected. Shortly after 11 o'clock the nu of H.M.S. Arrogant announced the approach of the royal squadron, and in a very few minutes the Victoria and Albert, tended, as usual, by the Fairy, and followed by • flotilla of gunboats, was opposite the leading-place. Her Majesty immediately descended Into the state barge, accompanied by His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Prisons Royal, and ate of the younger Prisms, and MDR pealed by two ladies of the royal household. Lord Paarsure, who had 038110 down early in the day, wan in menu' to receive her Majesty, and Sir John Burgoyne, the Marquis of Winekestar, and several local notabilities, were also aseembled on the platform. Oa the approach of this royal barge to the stairs it was found that • lending could not be effected there without inconvenience, and ac cordingly Captain Denman ordered it to be run up into the atingle close to the upper end of the jetty, and immediately ander the platform upon which were assembled the mem bers of the Southampton =potation. A considerable and rather amusing confusion was mused by this sudden chaos' in the royal movements. Aldermen frantically calked for saws and sue to demolish the rails, and town councillors and sailors struggled as to who should tear up most of the scarlet cloth of the platform to spread over the shingle for her Majesty's landing. But although there were cloaks— both red sad black—in abundaace, no one thought of Raleigh's gallant expedient. At lam an impromptu car peting was laid down, and her Majesty stopped oa shore, seemingly such amused at the excitement and bustle her choice of • new heal-plasm had created. Am soon as the Clasen bad reached the platform, the mayor and corporation respectfully saluted her Majesty, and Mr. Deacon, the town clerk, proceeded to read an address, to which her Majesty was pleased to return the following mat gracious answer : " I thank you for your loyal address, tad receive with much satisfaction your assurances of attachment to myself and sympathy in the welfare of my brave soldiers ; and I accept the deep knifed evinced by the corporation of Southampton in this day's prombediage as a token of their determination to forward, se far as is to their power, this national work." Her Majesty, who appeared is the best health, read this short reply is her anal clear and emphatic manner; and, taking the arm of Prises Albert, walked slowly up to the spot where the unman; was to be performed, her smite and the Mayer and eorporation following. The atone, which we a maalive pies' of hewn granite, had been prepared in the usual manner, bet in the other areangenteate unwind pains hail been taken, under the judicious direction of Mr. Smith, to reader the ceremonial as little inconvenient as possible to her Majesty. A sort of square basU had been excavated, with a dewiest of &bps, the whole being covered with crimson cloth. Beside the stone was a handsome table and chair, and a handsome silver trowel awaited the manipulation of the royal mane. Her Majesty having read the inscription, which testified the date and purpose of the building, then went through the ceremony in the meet regular and methodical manner; while the Bishop of Winchester delivered an ajpropsiate prayer. The eheristers of Winchester Cathedral closed the proceedings by singing the Old Hundredth Psalm, the affect of which would have bun very solemn and pleasing, bet that the commanders of the guaboste in the offing took it into their beads that that was the most fitting sno meat to try the strength of their 32 pounders, and com menced a dropping fire, which very mach interfered with the mounts of the sacred harmony. Her Ma jesty having "laved the fleet stone" with all the proper formalities, retired into a handsome pa vilion which had besa prepared for her reception, and after a short pause for refreshment returned for the purpose of witnessing what was not the least interesting pert of the day's business. By order of the agouties a substantial dinner had been prepared for the whole of the soldiers who were an duty during the day, and se soon as the Queen came out of her pavilion they formed in double files, and marched with evident alacrity off to the large tent In which their banquet was prepared, performing the pas prentaslicrwe with an alacrity that would have excited the envy of the agile Chesnut de Vincula's. As soon as they were all seated the Quin walked slowly down between the tables, casting a unitiaisieg glance se she passed on the refreshment provided, and receiving ia return for tier con deseension the hearty cheers of the soldiers. This interesting incident ',boasted the programme, and Immediately after the Queen and court went on board the mei yacht, with*, under a sewed royal salute, steamed away rapidly towards Osborne. The amiss' of the suety pollee, under the command of Messrs. Harris and Pillbeens, were mat vent_ able in preeerving order throughout the day. (IT 111.1011110 TILIORAPI.) PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY Hyannis.

Count de Stakelberg, the Russian envoy tent to I notify the accession of the Cur to the King of Sar dinia, took part in the fetes of the Statufo. General do &timid& has been selected to carry the King's answer to S. Petersburg, but it is not yet known whether this general or Prince Eugene de Savoie , Carignan, the King's cousin, will represent Sar dinia at the Cur's coronation. The Paris Pafrie pretends to know that the Mar quis Alfieri, President of the Senate, is designated for the honour of witnessing the coronation of Alexander 11. The bishops of the ecclesisatieal province of Turin have issued a protest against the new bill, already voted by the senate of Piedmont, for the reorganisa tion of public instruction in Piedmont. They found their apposition-1. On the article which places all establishments of public instruction under the con trol of the Minister of Public Instruction, no excep tion being made therein in favour of the episcopal seminaries. 2. On the article which expressly declares that the said seminaries are to be governed according to the rules adopted by the Church and by the state. 3. On the provision empowering the state to close any establishment of public inetruction, when such an extreme measure is required in the interest of morality, there being no clause excepting seminaries from the general rule; and 4. On the article which deprives the clergy of all influenoe over, or participa tion in, public instruction, the discipline of the schools, the choice of directors and professors. the conferring of degrees, &c. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM 011 R OWN PARIS, MONDAY EVILICINO. Prince Oscar of Sweden arrived in Paris at five o'clock this evening. Prince Napoleon was in wait ing at the railway station to receive him. Their royal and imperial highnesses and their mMte passed along the Boulevards in three carriage., and pro ceeded to St. Cloud. The Countess Walewsks, the wife of Count Nya: leweki, has received from the Queen of Spain the Grand Cordon of Maria Louisa, an order which is only conferred upon noble ladies of the highest clam. "The steam-corvette, the Reine Hortense, to the command of which Captain de La ROCCiere Le Noury has just been appointed," says the Moniteur de la Flotte," has been placed at the orders of Prince Napoleon, for his voyage of scientific exploration in the North Sea, which will extend as far as Spitzberg.

Within the list two days more than fifteen vessels, coming from Barletta, have brought into part about 60,000 !mobs of wheat, the greater part of which is already sold. Farther large animas are daly expected. A letter from Turin states that the trial of the Espero for a libel upon the Emperor of Austria, took place on the 17th, and resulted in • condemnation. The penalty inflicted by the court is not mentioned. The Bourse opened with great animation. Most of the brokers had received orders to buy, and, in consequence, it was extremely difficult to effect pur chase. in any security whatever, except at a consi derable advance on Saturday's quotations. A reac tion to realise profits followed, and during half an hour sales predominated. The market rallied again towards the close, but the highest prices of the day were not sustained.

The Austrian rail way., which have been for some time neglected, were mach inquired for, in consequence of a persistent rise at the Vienna Bonne. It is reported that the adjudication of the trans atlantic packet boats will take place in about a week, and that Rothschild and the Gautier Company are likely to be the successful parties. The news from the Scaled districts—and they unfortunately comprise a large proportion of the val leysof France—is still very serious. Some telegraphic despatches speak of the waters lowering, but others a few hours later say they are rising again. The em bankment of the Loire, tear Chateau d'Usae, which protects the most fertile part of Touraine, has been washed away, and frightful disasters are anticipated fn consequence. As soon as the prefect of the Loire heard this news, he sent a strong body of troops to Chateau &Coat, to work at the restoration of the embankment. THE PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Bucharest of the 7th, in the German Journal of Frank Art, says :—" Lent.-Colonel M. de Haltk, of the staff, strived here two days ago, acid is to leave to-day for Moldavia with Count ♦Vimpfen, to draw out the plan of the new frontier between Russia and Moldavia, in concert with the engineers of Maria and of the Western Powers."

A letter from Galati, in the Corriere Italian, says:—"On the 27th of April, which is Mister Sunday, according to the Greek calendar, an event occurred at Salina which has given rise to some com mentaries. The Russians hoisted their national flog with two Greek crosses attached to it on a small tower near the temporary church which they have construct ed ; and the commander of the Austrian war steamer stationed there sent to say that if the flag was dis played for the holiday, those of Turkey, Austria, and their allies ought to be added to it. The Russians refused to hoist the flags in question, and the com mander, thinking this refusal a demonstration which he ought not to tolerate, sent a detachment of soldiers to display the figs of all the allies.

The trial wu resumed this morning shortly after ten o'clock. The Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Baron Alderson, mid Mr. Justice Creuwsll took their seats upon the bench, nod the prisoner was immediately placed at the her. The Atternej-G.neral, Mr. Edwin James, Q C., Mr. Webby, Mr.: Bodkin, and Mr. Iluddleaton apprer,d fax the Crown. Mr. Serjeant Shoe, Mr. Grave, Q.C., Mr. Gray, and Mr. Kenealey, appeared for the prisoner. The evidence for the prosecution was then resumed. Dr. Jackson examined by Mr. James—l have been prac tising in India for twentygvs years, and have had a good deal of experience in cues of traumatic and idiopathic to genus. The latter disease, although it appears very rare in this country, is much more frequent in India, and I have attended at least forty eases of that disease. Idiopathia tetanus is equally fatal, according to my experience, u traumatic. It is frequently found in children in India, both natives and Europeans, and generally takes place about the third day after birth. It will also be occa sioned by cold in that climate. In infante there Is a more marked symptom of lock jaw in idle• pathie tetanus. In adults there is no difference in the symptoms from traumatic. I have always soon the idiopathic form of the disease preceded by premo nitory symptoms, such as peculiar expreeuion of the counte nance, stiffness of the muscles of the throat and of the jaw. The usual period from the attack to death is infants is ge nerally about forty-eight hoar.; in adults, when arising from cold, it is of longer duration, and may continue many days going through the rams grades as the traumatic forms. . . _ Cross-examined by Mr. Strjeant Sbee—The patient always appesre to be very uncomfortable shortly before tits the stack of idiopathic tetanus. His appetite would not be affected, but he would chiefly complain of the muscles of the neck. Us might entertain a desire for food, and take it u usual up to within twelve hours of the attack. Within that period I should say the patient', attention would be more directed to the stiffness c his month and the st.ffness of his neck. I sever heard a patient complain of want of appetite. I have known cases of idio. petite tetanus, where the first paroxysm was in bed. Dim. colt' of swallo *log is another pitaionitory syntrom. Re-examined—in the cue of a child not more than tin hours would elope. between the premonitory symptoms sad the tatanic convulsions ; end in au adult the period would not be greater than twenty-four hours. The duration of the disease generally varies from three dip to ten days, but it has occurred as early se two days. Traumatic and idiopathic eases are both alike in these respects. Both forms of the disorder are mach more common in India than they are in this country. The symptoms are not more suers in India than in this country. In all my erre. tithes I never saw a ease where the disease ran its course and the patient was dead in twenty minutes. The Attorney-General said that this closed the medical testimony. Mr. D. Bergen, chief superintendent of police at Stafford, said—l was present at the coroner's inquest on the body of Cook. After the verdict had been returned I searched the prisoner's boats. It was on the 15th Di c mbar ihst I made the search. I found a great many papers in the surgery, and 1 took them into the drawing-ri.our. I found • few more pipers in other parts of the house, and I put them all together into the drawing-room, and locked them up in that room. On the f Blowing day I ermined them in the pre sence of Mr. G. Palmer, the brother of the prisoner. Be is en attorney at Rugeley. I did not give htit notice of what f was about to do. Inspector Crisp and a superin tendent named Wilson were present at the search among the papers. Eventually I gave up the idea of • selectioa, and tied up the wools of the parer', and eonveyed them to Stafford, wh. re 1 delivered them :o Mr. Hatton, the chief constable. The beg containing the papers was opened again on the 24th sf 13,cember, and the pip=rs were all examined in the presence of a etheiror camel Diane, who was actirg for the prosecution, nod he copied a portion of them, soil they were then put ag iin into the beg and left at the chief c othoe. There was not among the papers any cheque bearing the signature of Mr. Cook upon Messrs. Weatherby, neither was there any paper re ferring to any bills of exchange which purpered to beep the signature of the prisoner. There was no such doth merit as this among the papers. Mr. Deane subsequently selected a number ef letters and ether papers of • private character, and iosteuetions were given that they should be delivered up to Mr. George Palmer. The prisoner wee taken into custody on the night of the 15:b of December. I remember Roberti, the apprentice, being examined, and Newton also. Ido not know who fetched Newton. Cron-examined by Mr. S.'jsaot Elhee—The inquest oci• copied several days, and a for .night or more elapsed before it was brought to a conclestor. The prisor er wee arrested epee a civil process two or three days before the verdict was delivered. I believe that the prisoner remained at his own n ar y d occas that ioL, a, nor c,e d r id F an iela y [house at limpley all the time the inquest was going on. He ' ; w as a u c ci t t p p r r otha ese r n i t o au t . forlly io q t u iz. h t on a il bad been down to Hurley some time before. He is ant a policeman sow. I do not know Elisabeth Mills's mother. Mr. H. A. Deane said—l am a solicitor of Gray's-lan. I attended the coroner's inquest upon Anne Palmer, on be half of the insurance comeauy. 1 he first time I saw the primer's papers was at Stafford. I totted and selected them. I carefully examined tee whole of the papers, and Warned a considerable quantity to Mr G. Palmer. I am maids there was no cheque for 3601., drawn apparently by the deceased, upon Messrs. Weatherby, nor any paper representing that certain bills of caching. had been accepted for the benefit of Mr. Cook. I head no such paper as that which Cheshire says Palmer bed required him to attest. I found no document 'deiced by Cook, and acknowledging that Palmer had accepted bills for 4,0001. on his behalf. I saw George Palmer eta the papers which I bad relec.ed were returned to him. Croce-examined by tdr.Sejeent Shes—l know lospeetot Field, and saw him some time peerage to the inquest. Out firm were solicitors to the Prince of Wale. lo aaaaa ee °Moe. Inspector Field went down to Burley in my employment, and remised there ooly part of one day, but be was at Stafford three or four days. He did not see the prisoner Palmer during his stay. He had been preceded by another officer, named Sirotron. I cannot tell you how lorg Simpson was at Rugeley, but I saw him the day Field wa• there. He w , et from Stifford to Rugs ley in company with myself and Mr. Field. He told me he had seen Palmer. Simpson Grit went to Stafford on to, retainer at the beginning of °etch: r. Re-examined—Mr. Field was sera down to make in quiries as to the habits of life of Mr. Walter Palmer, of whose death the office had Array before received notice, sad also to inquire into the circumstance. of a pence named Bates, with reftrence to a prevsal f r an insurance of 66,0001. oa his life. Mr. Espin called and itemised he Mr E. James, I am a solicitor, and act for Me. Padwick. I produce a bill for 2,0001.. placed in my bands by Mr. Paderiek to en force payment easiest the private. [Tne drawing and ea dash:got the bill were here identified by a Mr. Strewbridits, manager of a local bank, to be in the kenowriting of the prisoner. The ac , ipterce woe certainly not in the hand writing of Sarah Palmer. The bill wee then reed. It pur ported to be drawn by the prisoner and mewed by Sarah Palmer. It bore the eimp:e endersement, Wm. Palmer."] This bill would be due October 6, 1844; 1,0001 Pad bees paid off the bill. Oa the 20th Novenber, 1865, I was pressing the prisoner for raymen , of the balance. It wee placed in my hands tore f prymen-. I 'hosed say about the 12th of December, beenues I signed judgment on that day. and it most bare been a day or two prisylaue. It could hardly have been PO early as the 20th of Nivember. Execution was issued on the 12th December. I have two letters in the handwriting of the prisoner (hand writing ideiritied by Strawbridge) [The letters wore read. Oae. dated the 12th Dioember, 186, ericlosi id a cheque for 1,0001, bat it taloreted that the cheque should not be pre seated till the 28th, which date it bore] The cheque was not paid when it was presented. A (miner cheque had bees sent, for 6001, but that was not Laid. This cheque wee dieted the Bth December, and must have been received the day afterwards. Both cheques purported to be drawn by the 1 river r, in favour of Mr. Pad.. ck. The 1,0001. still remains due. The pri•oner was arrested upon it, but the co. see. realised nothing. An action was brought against the mother "iron the bill, which was defended. The Attorney General mid, he now proposed to call Mr. Bamford, the venerable sorrier who attended Caok during his illness a' Rugeley. Mr. Bamford was then put into the witness bor. Be woe examined by the Attorney General—My name is William Bamford. I am surgeon mad erotheca-y at Rugeley. first sew John Parma Cook on Saturday, the 17'h Novem ber. Willem Palmer called up in me and asked me to attend a friend of his, who was unwell at the Talbot ATOM Heald Cook bad been dining with hire the day before, and hid taken too much chammigne , wine. I went to lee Cock, end walked down to the aleot with Palmer. I asked Cook if be had taken too much wine the ;lay before, and be ll muted me he only took two alms, e. I found no smarms of bile, but a contemn vomitiog. I preecritea a saline effervescing dreught for bias in a sit puree en , rure. I sever saw Cock take any of the pills I had proscribed and made up for hie... After I bed prepsted the P inson tee Monday evening, I took them myself I .0 the Itibot, and gay. them to the servant maid who bad w view, We OM. I saw her take them up shire.
