FOR upwards of a week a criminal trial has ab sorbed the interest and attention not only of the inhabitants of Edinburgh but of the whole Empire. In the ancient city itself the Court of Justiciary has been thronged, and the avenues which lead to it blocked up. The successive editions of the local journals— hourly bulletins of the progress of the trial—have been eagerly bought up. Nor is all this anxious. breathless listening more than could have been anti cipated. The sad story that was in the process of development was replete with throes of passion; to the last a strangely fascinating cloud of mys tery has continued to hang over its most impor tant incidents; and for the attack and defence were retained the two counsel who stand indisputably at the head of the Scotch bar, both as regards talent and (past or present) political position. L'ANGEUE• died at Glasgow on the 23rd of March. Suspicion having been ex cited, his body was exhumed, examined by medi cal men, and parts of it subjected to the tests of chemists. An immense quantity of arsenic was discovered. The circumstances attendant on his death seemed to preclude any idea of suicide. He had reached Glasgow from the Bridge of Allan the previous afternoon, apparently in perfect health. From the time he left Stirling in the train till he started to walk from Coatbridge to Glasgow, is company with another gentleman, the railway curd had never lost sight of him ; during all that time he was in good spirits, and at Coatbridge he ate heartily tat plain and wholesome food. On the road between Coatbridge and Glasgow he was cheerful and communicative, entered no house, partook of nothing. To his landlady at Glasgow he appeared in perfect health, and partook of some tea and toast. At nine in the evening he left home in apparent health and spirits. About half-past nine he called for a friend, and the servant who opened the door remarked nothing particular about him. About half-past two in the morning his landlady was awakened by his violent ringing, though he had obtained her pus-key foe the purpose of letting himself in without anise. He was suffering excru ciating torture, and he had disturbed her for the purpose of obtaining aid. He sent her for a physi cian. He evinced reluctance to die ; he expressed no suspicion of what was the matter with him. Everything in his demeanour on the fatal night is utterly irreconcileable with the assumption that he died by his own act. Against such clear evidence to his deportment and state of mind at the time, it is in vain to oppose vague recollections of boyish eccentricities of long-past years. Murder "by some person or persons unknown'' was the only alternative conjecture. A letter found in his waistcoat pocket seemed to indicate that he had returned suddenly to Glasgow for the purpose of having au interview with a lady. A number of letters from her were found in his repositories some of which implied that he had had re peated nocturnal interviews with her in her father's house. A fellow-lodger had understood from the deceased that on more than one occa sion he had had such interviews with her; and had reason to believe that ose of them had taken place immediately previous to an attack (not fatal) the symptoms of which were identical with those of his mortal sickness. Further examination of the lady's letters revealed a state of rela tions between them which made it plainly her interest to get rid of him. The history of Scotch criminal jurisprudence is full of instances in which fear of exposure has driven women to murder their own babes; was it not more easy to imagine fear of exposure driving a woman to murder a paramour of whom she was obviously sated? One or two of the most recent letters had evidently been written in paroxysms of fear and despair. Lastly, it was disco vered that in the course of the month preceding , I)A:it:Runes death, his correspondent had made an abortive attempt to procure prussic acid, and had at three different times purchased quantities of in all to 31 ounces.

Circum- stances so pregnant with suspicion left no alterna- tive to the Public Prosecutor. A thorough investi- gation of the appalling and mysterious history by legal roma was necessarily determined on. The customary preliminary investigation resulted 1 in the arraignment of MADELEINE SMITH fur the murder of EMILE L'Anoextv.• by poison. The Public Prosecutor undertook to prove that on two i occasions she had administered poison to him, with i intent to kill, but without effect beyond the pro- auction of severe sickness ; and that on a third wea- -1 Mon she bad again administered poison, and m- a eseded in carrying her murderous intention into affectln one sense the two unsuccessful and the smeem ful attempt, if brought home to the accused, 1( 1 1 amid only be regarded as one continuous set. They 1 woad imply a horrifying, relentless perseverance in • malignant effort to destroy, under repeated I l i , • &Hama, But to establish such • terrible cue against the prisoner, it was necessary each separate attempt should be proved 1, by separate and independent evidence. Tbe jury was therefore called upon to return a spe- cial verdict upon each of three diAinet charges in the indictment. There was great difficulty in fixing upon a precise date tor the first attempt. Three witnesses--Mm. Imams, the landlady of the deceased ; M. TEIVAr, - -............-.--- ---....r THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1811/. his fellow-lodger ; and Miss PERRY, an intimate ac quaintance—spoke to two previous attacksof illness, similar in all their symptom to the third Mal one. Neither Mrs. Jestenes nor M. THIME could specify the exact date of the first illness. Miss PERRY attributed to it the date of the 19th of February ; but, in the first place, her evidence was merely a statement of something L'Ancenutel bad said to bee in as variation ; and, in the second place, the 'uses.. to have been suggested to her by the deb of the Procurator Fiscal. But more than this, the 19th of February preceded the earliest ascer tained purchase of poison by the prisoner. The jury, therefore, very properly dismissed this charge as utterly untenable ; returning, in reference to it, a verdict of " Not Guilty." The date assigned in the indictment to the second alleged attempt was the night of the 22nd or the morning of the 23rd of February. At that time the prisoner was in possession of arsenic. She attempted to explain her purchases by alleging that she used arsenic as a cosmetic. lice own letters, however, convict her of such a systematic disregard of truth, that little importance could be attached to any of her assertions. Besides, 31 ounces of arsenic in the course of one month, it a quantity which no stretch of imagination can conceive to have been used for the purposes of a cosmetic. No attempt was made to show that she had ever purchased arsenic before the' 21st of February, and she assigns the year 1832 ns li the period at which she was advised to use it as • cosmetic. Besides, an inquiry she made three days later than the date of her first purchase, of the person who sold it to her, shows that at the time she was utterly ignorant of the appearance of arsenic as sold in the shops. The evidence, how ever, as regards this charge, stopped short at show ing that the prisoner bad a strong motive to wish for the death of the deceased; and that she was pos sessed of poison, and had given a false account of the purpose for which she procured it. In her de claration, it is true, she admits that she once gave VAnuaLien a cup of cocoa from her bedroom win inw. One of her letters, too, appears to relate W this same incident. It is evidently written at • time when L'Anneuett was confined to the house by sickness. It states that he looked ill on the Sunday night. It adverts to his having been taken ill when walking home on that occasion. It attributes that illness in part to want of solid food. It states that the writer herself is indisposed, and that much illness is going about. Why all this anxiety to assign a cause fur his illness, and to persuade him that he is only suffering in common with others? In connexion with this letter, and the admission in the declara tion, we must take L'Ason.tEn's statement to Miss PERRY, that he bad been taken ill after having had cocoa or coffee given to him by Miss SMITH. There is nothing, however, to fix with precision the time of these incidents. The letter is w ithont a date; and M. Tntse "did not think L'Astisuea was out of the house" the night before his second illness. It was also proved that L'ANGELIER had had several choleraic attacks/SU occasions when no pion could have been administered. The medical man, too, who attended him during his second illness, had no suspicion of the administration of an irritant poison, until after the pose mortens examination of L'ANGELIERN body. Under these circumstances the Jury returned a verdict in favour of the accused on the second charge : not, indeed, of " Not Guilty," but of " Not I'roven." To the effect of this verdict we will advert hereafter. The darkness which brooded over the third charge was less obscure than that which rested over the two which preceded it. Arsenic had been found in the body, so there remained no doubt as to the cause of death. To the suspicious circumstances that the prisoner had procured poison, and that she had a strong motive to use it to get rid of the deceased, there 11 , 104 now added a third. L'Asta.usa bad returned to Glos.:ow sooner than was expected, unknow n to his fricuds, in consequence of receiving a letter from the prisoner requesting a meeting with him at her father's house. It appears from more than one of her letters that she had on former °eva sions succeeded in introducing him into the house, unknown to the servants, who slept near her, unknown to her sister, who slept with her. At this point, however, the evidence stopped short. No proof could be obtained that I:ANc.F.I.IEIt had been in or near the house on that fatal night. lie had been seen about nine o'clock walking along a neighbour ing street, in a direction which might have led him to the house. Ile had called about half-past nine at a house within five minutes' walk from Miss Swern's residence. But from that time all trace of him is lost, till he is found at the door of his lodgings, at half-past two in the morning, in agonies which were the precursors of death. 'The watchman on the beat, who had repeatedly, on previous nights, seen him loitering in the vicinity of Miss SMITH'S residence, did not see him that night. Nothing a:curled that induced any of the inmates to suspect that a stranger hail that night been introduced into the house. Nay, more, it is possible that seeing the appointment was made for the preceding night, and that no commu nication could have passed between the parties, VANGELIER may have waited till lie could make a new appointment, or that ho may have failed in his attempts to intimate his presence to Miss Seam. There is here • break in the continuity of the chain of evidence for which nothing can compensate, Suspicion may point the pregnant finger; we may feel morally convinced that the accused wished, intended to poison the deceased; but in the absence of all proof that lie was brought within her reach, that she had an opportunity of carrying her dire intentions into effect, no one has a right to say that she did so. In this dilemma the Jury again had recourse to the neutral verdict allowed by the law of Scotland—they declared the third charge against the prisoner "Not l'roven." The nature and effect of this verdict appears to be as follows. In Scotland, as in England, a criminal trial is a " wager of law." The Prosecutor under takes to convince a jury that the accused is guilty ; the accused, to satisfy the jury that he (or she) is Innocent The jury are not expected to do more than express the conviction produced on their minds by the statements of the witnesses and the arguments of the lawyers. Their conviction may be such as they would find it difficult to assign a reason for; still it is held to be conclusive as to the facts. In England the jury are called upon to declare distinctly either Mat they bold the accused guilty or that they hold him innocent. The more considerate law of Scot land makes allowance for that neutral state of mind be which plain, unprofessional men may have an im pulsion of the accu-ed's culpability too strong to abaft of their conscientiously declaring him inno cent—too weak to admit of their incurring the re sponsibility of exposing him to punishment. In this case they are allowed to have recourse to the temporising declaration—" not proven." Of this privilege the Jury on Mir MADELLINE SMITH Dace availed themselves, and the rather tantalising result of • protracted and exciting inquiry is simply this :—That L'ANGELIER died of poison, but not of poison administered by himself; that sufficient evidence . has not been obtained to carry home con viction to the guilty, though suspicions have pointed strongly in a certain direction. Tho cause of ' L'ANGALIEIeti poisoning will, therefore, take its place--wt least 'for the prewat—among the causes sililorse, not only o account of the horrible fascias- Oen which attschis to all awes of poisoning, but ea account of the mystery which rests upon the story. Like soother Edinburgh case—that of the murder of PORTLOCS--it may long remain a theme for ingenious conjecture. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. 'f HE BANK OF FRANCE.

We arc informed that on Tuesday six persons were arrested at Boulogne on a charge of having used election tickets deficient in the requisite legal formalities. The printer of the tickets was among the number of the persons seised. Upwards of 200 votes were tendered for Carnot at Boulogne. A STEAMER DESTROYED EY FIRE IN CANADA.-TWO HUNDRED LIVES LOST. The disastrous intelligence was received yester day at Lloyd's of the total destruction by tire, on the 20th of June, near Quebec, of the steamer Mont real, whereby, sad to relate, no less than 200 per sons, consisting principally of Scotch emigrants, were bottled or drowned. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (TROY 001 OWN PARIS, Tot 11.11 w EVENING. The official proclamation of MM. Cavaignac, ()Dicier, and Darimon, as members for Paris, was made to-day at the Hotel de 'Ville. The number of the votes does not differ materially from the figures already published. Not more than 400 or 500 per sons were assembled in front of the Hotel de Ville to witness the ceremony, and of these I am told no less than 300 were police agents in plain clothes, who were posted there by way of precaution, the authorities fancying there was sonic reason to ap prehend a demonstration. According to the rnion, M. lfalligon, the suc cessful opposition candidate in the. 'Mayenne, Los been elected by a large majority, the votes be , ig ap proximatively 11,33fi against 7,988. MM. Sevcrin, Abbattucci, and Mariani, the go cennuent candidates in Corsica, have been elected almost unanimously. 'rite Empress left Paris at eight o'clock this morn ing, to join the Emperor at Plombiires. Her Majesty was received at the Strasburg railway station by MM. Fould, Billault, Wulcwski, and the railway directors. Tho Ilourse has had a relapse. There was an in disposition to do business, and a thin attendance. The Itente slowly declined to liTre. 10e. both for cash and account, closing with a full of 20c. and 25c. Mobilier fell 27fr. 50e., closing at 920 fr. The railway market was very inactive. The new shares of the principal lines were better supported than the old. Some purchases were made in railway obliga tions. It is understood that the bullion in the bank has diminished by about twenty millions, but the reason given is that the hank has bought very little gold of late, and has discounted a very large quantity of commercial paper since the latter end of June. Notwithstanding the new facilities granted for advances upon deposits, this chapter has only augmented, if report be correct, by about four or five millions. The situation of the bank is regarded as tolerably satisfactory, but still not such as to allow the directors to reduce their discount to L per cent. at present. M. de Vougy, the director general of telegraphs, whose office was abolished at the same time as that of M. Collet Nleygret, has received by wuy of compensation the Receiver-Generalship of the de partment of the Loir et Cher. The following bulletin of M. IPranger's health has been published to-day: THUS/It,%V MORN I NO. M. Wronger has again been much agitated during the night. This mot 'ling he is very calm.

At the Morgue yesterday the body of a gentle man who had committed suicide in the Champs Elyskes by blowing his brains out, was identified as that of the brother in-law of an muMent financier. As in the case of the baron who lately threw himself from Notre Dame, the suicide was occasioned by heavy losses at the Bourse. NAPLES.

But you must remember that, although he wee ill twat these ocessions, and seems to have ascribed leis attic..a to the cocoa and cufla he get from the pined, there is no proof that Lis ilniees wine really mused by arsenic up.n either of these 012r84i01111. The re eiptens core Impend to the effect, of armeical peisoe;ng, but then so do many of the symptoms with bilious attack. It hart not been shoe a that the panel was pauessed of arsenic before the 19th. Any Iwamots substrata.", however, would be roteprebended in the charge. Amense Mee did buy on the 21st of February, before that second Ilatus, and there fore that feet of her pOilliC6Bloll of arsenic before the second occasion, of source giver much greater strength and jwint to reniark, that he did r' owe something from Ire which mode him ill upon the 22nd of February. Nis lordsbip then went over all the pestle es ',deuce lea the defence. He world leave the jury to judge %Luther there was anything oriole, in the talk of L' Angetier as to staide, or whether it wan not merely the empty vepuering of a vain man. The quem ion war, whether there wta an)teing in his whele character which looked like a pawn who was in any dearer of committing suicide; or whether be was net a man of for too much levity to du so. From all they knew of him, he believed he was not the man to du P 4. There mead to be no reason for any depression of spirits on bre part, so far as his worldly chruuletaneter were concerned. Ho had a salary of 1001. a-year—woe better of than he had ever been in Lb/ life before, and had every lemon to ennerratulate himmlf, instead of being mat down or dermal. His lordellip thought that it was not unlikely that L'On gelier had talked to the panel about the use of areerao as a cosmetic, and tbie easy have led her to ass it; or it may, on the other hand, Lave sue:petal this excuse to her. The jury Juliet murder the point in both point, of view, Dr. Ginned, Falkirk, deposed to having been applied to by several partial tor arsenic to use as a cosmetic, after an article had appeared in Chambers's el 01011 a/ on the subject. That many a"iy women, after Meillg thing, talked about in the newepepere, may have hied whether anemic would improve their complereeoe might be true enough; but be did not think that would satisfy them that that wee the object of the primmer in puntesing it. la reference to the evidence of the two perti. connected with chemical manufactories in Glare ow, where lunatic was kept loose and in open vessels, no attempt had been made to connect L'Angeher at y way with these woke, and there was not the *lightest ground for supposing that Do heel got the anomie (rune them. Ills Lordehip then went over the eorreepondence, reading copious manatee from the more chameteristie passages. Atter the way in which the primmer 'poke in them ktters out sweet laver and fond clubroom --clam proof of how eh regulated her peeeions wire—it wan not much wonder thet cri 3333 nal intercourse should soon have foll.•wed. They had heard a good deal from the Peon about the character of the panel but they had no evidence on the& point exeept what was Me rded by the letters; and certainly he t say that these letters showed as extraordinary frame of mind and pamion as perhaps ever appalled in a court of juetioe. In her declaration, the prisoner Led said that her object in writing to L' Angelier wee to appoint on interview at which she was to tell him that she was engaged to Minnoch ; but aturly, had that Lean the ease she would never have wished to a limped to the heart," as elle expreeeed it in her letter, of a man whom she had to inform that she was engaged to another, end that alt relit i.•ne must be broken oft between them. That that letter brought him to town there could, ho thought, not be a momened doubt. Now, then, gentlemen, continual hit herelehip, let us look at the three charges in the indictment. The it.. charge is— that she adminietered poison on the 19th or 20th February. Probably you may be of opinion, trine the etatemetits of Mi. Perry and other evidence, that the deceased del see the prisoner on that occasion. But then rho is Cot proved Is have bad any arsenic. or say other poiermouseubstence is her remeasiou ou the 10th; and what I think of very great Oa ' perfume Is, that there is no medical testimony, or any =Dyke of the matter vomited, that that illness did proceed from the administration of poison. If the dater had exa mined the matter vomited, and said "There certaiely is weenie here," that would Mend very strong ground against the prisoner. But, then, if you are not seeded that it hail been proved that the Blame amse from the edcuinistmtion of nay poiwnoue matter, that she Dad arsenic or any matter of a pre nous nattier, even oxalic acid, so frequent en arti In of domestic use, In the Lowe, and when regard wan pad to tkt; evidence in the deceased's variety+ Mamma at Mayunce ' at Mr. Miller'e, M Itobertoon's, rued et the time when the Beards sew him—then you will not return a verdict of con viction tin this charge. The second cheep/ stands in a , somewhat different position in regard to the h in no reapeet, it a similar to tbefirat ewe, for it n i t tread that the illness areas from the ailininietratiou of arsenic , or say deleterious subatanee. But, then, the way In which you connect the primmer with a meeting on that occasion is strange. Still, if you should think vou can acquit bee of the fine charge, and there to tee much doubt to find the second proven, then you will olr serve how much that weakens the case tint has been raised byte prosecution on the enrolees for renege, on the change in the tone of the lettere, and the desire to allure him again to her charms and fascination, which could nut be accounted for. except of the Nur proeion of some such murderous design; then. to that 'I" , the foundation of the mat in very limn shaken, and • blow levelled et the preimmption that she entertained the per pow of murder. Thee, as to the charge for ntunier, tbe question fur you to consider I. a simple one. No matter hew surrounded the prieouer In with grave sus picione, and with many eircumetences that MOM tO , against the notion of innocence upon any theory that hr 4 ham pn•pounded, still, are yon rearmed to say that you I find that the interview upon the Veil Merril has been proved ageing bier She had arsenic before the inners on the 22nd February; and I think you will consider the elates about merge arsenic rut it MAlM:tit' of the same stoop as that told to the apothecary afoul killer,: of rat' with it.

[The dose of the summing up and the verdict in the above awe were made known to OUT readers yesterday by our tele graphic despatch ] EDINBCROII, TIIUIOII.Y. The court opened this morning at ten o'clock. The intense and unparalleled interest taken in this trial during the previous eight day., was, if 'menhir, greater still this morning. The rush fur adeniesion excited any thing before *litigated, while the immense crowds outside rendered acmes to the court all but bopue sibk, even for those whom peceenee wee nreventiry. As early as 'even o'clock Perliammit-equre W. 1.1 densely crowded, and us the hour of opening the court approached, the crowd increased to ouch an extent that it was dill cult to reach the top of the Iligh-street. No scene like that which wee exhihited both within and without the walls of the court, wee ever before witnceed in this city. Fur seem time previous to ten o'clt k, that portion of the court not appropriated to the public presented au extraordi nary appearance. The jury entered the court shortly before ten, and upon their lerdehipe' arrival the primmer wee placed in the dock. lice appearanee woe teach the name IN it wee at the commencement of the trial. There woo, however, at lima, a Might .Lade of mineral in her exprewien, but no trace of that anxiety and deep mental muttering to Le ex pected in a woman charged with such a dremifil crime, aLd with her life in such imminent danger. The Lord Justice Clerk, in rooming his charge, cum ' tomcod with rending Mre. CI irk's evidence. The evidence alKenneely, the enehier in Iluggina and Co.'., win nest mad; after which Lie lordship said it was a mutat kale fact that net one of L'Angelier's letters was found in the pri moner's room, although elle evidently had them all in her pmeemion up to the 11th of February, when ehe told him that, if he brought her letters on the Thursday, she would return his along with his photograph. Pawing next to M`Laehlate's evidence, hie lordehip again commented upon the irregularities conneled with the collection of the lettere However, lie did nut think that much difficulty or inconve nience had .risen tram this neglect. Whether some of thee passionate letters 44 ben, espreeeiug with love for hem, etetairly in meet licentious term', were written at one date or another, war of little importance in tide raw. In regard to the evidence relating to the opportunitim given to the agents of the prisoner for conducting the defence, his lord ship said that eopioa of ell the letters in print bad Leen deli vered to them before the indictment was served, se that this prisoner bad received facilities for conducting the defence, which he believed no other party ever did. Christina Raj:- gait was a moat important witness. The theory to be de duced from her statements wee that there was unquestion ably tan interview between the parties in the home; but that interview teak place without the knowledge of her pen - este, or any one but them whom the mind Mel herself told about it. Witness heard footsteps coming in by the beckdoor; ohs net the panel going towards the beekdoer, end was desired by her not to come into her route fur moue time, but to go into the kitchen. She awl the cook continued there for mace than half en hour ' end did not go into their own nom until they heard the panel's bedroom door abut. Ali that was exceedingly important, as it gave a key to a good sunny statenieute in the lettere, whisk could only be read as reterting to ape menet interview. It was extremely iniportant, also, as coupled with the feet that Abe did leave the home on the Thureelay morning erter L'Angelier'e death **beet anyone knowing that she had gene. She told him in one of her letters he could Male in lay the back door, and go up the elide without her father or mother hewing him. Ilia lordship thought that the only conclusion to which the jury could come keen all this was, that the panel had ample facilities for admitting L'Angelier to the house if she wiehol it; and decedent if there was evidence otherwise, no practical difilmity lay in the way of his having an interview with her in the house eat that Sunday evening— certainly there am nothing in the form or arrangement of the home to exelude his being there. That, however, would not supply the wont of evidence of the fret, end if they did fled then evidence, the mere failte,r evoe',l peeve nothing. The Wattle:. never Pew any cultist 'ng matter an the water in the IItIPOUPT . P twain. Really be did not think there waft much In that. The jury might take another view of it, but ha was disposed to look en it all ear false pretemee —an exeme gut up to recount for her poweecion at the eugenic. Mile en, the cook, corroborated liPtieuzie's state ment, but there woo notliog the "t her es idenee.

James Oath,- way mot L'Angelier wing toe:anis Main-street about nine ark en the evening of the 2.!nd. Margaret Tweedie PAW him at twenty minutia past nine at a certain terrace. That tenwee said hie lerdstaip, was down nearer the river than the house to Blvthstroclanuere, and in order to reech it, L'An 'mime wloilla Ins obliged to pl. the pond' s house; but the dietanee was only five manatee walk fnau theme, and nit he sweet to be too soon, there would It plenty of time for hint to go lock awl meet the primmer. The paieenmn, however, did net tae L'Augelier on that night, although lie had seen hint about the home on termer occasional. The import ance of that evidence is that two witnesses saw L'Angelier atter he left hie lodgings en the Sunday night ; and the important feet was that having gone out well at night, otter he returned from the Bridge of Allan, he had gone in the direction of the panel's reeidence. It use plain that he had been too early at nine aclock. Ile had been too impatient to wait; end finding he was too early, he went soil endeavoured to find his •Nittaintonee ISPAtieter. It was naked why 11`Alister had not been celled; but he did not seer any lecterny for bie being called, became he could only have epeken to the girl telling hint that his foreign friend had called, and the evidence of the girl herself was the teat evidence es to the feet that ho had railed. Then there was the centime° of the roan who made the photograph for the panel ; and of Mr. Donald's emend emminietion as to the peettearke in thin eget...en( which a pool deal of questions WPM put i 4 iniportanoo about individual lettere. I. pen this evidence hie lerdeltip said: This I may coy. gentlemen, fiat —ace the attention of the plot-office was very forcibly railed to the necessity of them poettnerke being distinct, in u COM mittliodiou front Lord Camille IL from the difficulty he felt in a eviminal roes in mcartaining the postmark. , of letters, end aim in a eontenuakation I mat, fnau the difficulty 1 found in a civil ewe —I trust this will be the teat alatinen en which the pnatmeeke are so carelessly impressed as they have been. Non PM the large number of marks which MOO co illegible that the date cannel be ascertained in aurae cams the year being illegible, to others the month, and in o th ers the day of the month. All this is s tone in Glasgow in a meet ran:len and slovenly manner. It is a very important matter for the cads of vied and criminal jostler, that the post-meths should be properly Mantled. Mr. tel`Donald Nays that *trice instructions have been given on this point, and that new stamps have been furnished iu teeny inettineee; and I hope the attention of the pest-Oliee authorities will he still more directed to a metier Omsk great iinveirtenee. Mrs. Tower., the sneer of Mir Perry, was an important witness. She .peke to L'Angelier, telling Inns that be need " Lem given," not that he had taken cocoa and coffee whit le had dimmed with hits. Ile alto Mal to her that Le had leen poismed,but he del net ray oche gave him the patron. Ile said to her that odes did not mutely disagree with hits, hut the cocoa he wee not accumnaned to take. Mr. Towne, to inerthent in Clasense mid that L'Angelier dined with him on a Monday in Portobello, awl 'poke of hie health, nod of hie Lavine twee attack. of Mane after tekiug cactus end Odfe, " Ile said lie thought himself poieened after baking the two*. I said who could pee. bin? lie del not mention any one?' Then we have 0 mom important wither., alias l'erry, whom evklenee would revere to be carefully attended to. lordship preeected to read OS, r Mies ferry's evidence, commenting upon it tut he proreeded. When he castle to the letter written by L'Angelier to her, in whieli he says, " I received a letter too late to enable me 10 POP nine one," lie end that, Of renew, plainly was the find letter sent to him in his retteenre. Ile did not Mart to Glasgow on receiving it, became he got it too late to enable Mot ins keep the appeintment. The letter which actually brought him to Clemow wee alm too late if it referred to Saturday night • but it was not surprising that on receiving thie remind let ter, vouched in rusts urgent terms, and im plorinit hint to conic PO pamionately, that he might clasp her to his beam—it wee not ennobling that he should imme diately *tart for Glmeow on receiving in, oven although he ianderetood the appointment to he for Saturday night, met knew that be was wain bra late. Referring next to that pert if Mks Fern''. evidence, in whinge ithe spat , m L'Angelier dining with her on the 22nd Felinetery, saying that he had expected to me the panel on the 19. h, and that "he had got nom and chocolate which etude him ill ; " that " he touhl I not think how he won en nnwell over getting that corona and eh.,date from her;" his lordship mid:—here is a dietinet etatement (non this man that upon two graTaPitalP ho had get urea and decadent, from the panel. I piloted ant to you I very etrongly that we hive no raven to team that the pad IR. in the power , '" of arsenic on the 19th, and I pointed out to you that there ie nn evidence of any meeting on the lath directly, except whet is drawn from the letter that I shall refer to afterwards, the deteof which the Lord Advocate time no the Wedneeelny tater the 19th.

There seemed to Ite a suspicion on his mind as to what the panel had given him, but it ass not a serious suspicion." you may be perfectly satisfied that, if you return it verdict I satisfactory to yourselves against the prisoner you need not fear any coneequences front any future and f ancied discove ries, for you will have done your duty under your oath to God and your count 7, and you may be quite eatisfiecl that remorse you never will feel. The jury then retired to consider the verdict. At twenty-five minutes from t hey a ids the jury bell ton g, and immediately afterwards wly entered, and took their mists—having been absent exactly half en hour. Tho Lord Justice Clerk, addrinsing the audience, said—l h o pe there will be no eshibition of feeling of any sort on the giving of the verdict. Even at this moment., hour, Mies Smith's composure appeared to be but slightly affected ; ocesaionally alto coat premed her lip, firmly together, and a alight tremor which crept over her wee bcarrely peecoplible to theme close beside Thep action si, known rarn 't it ' e his pupil alleged t Mr. P Mr. 111.il her. The Clerk having called over the names of the jury, end slaked them to deliver their verdict, The Chancellor (Mr. Moffat, teacher) rem and said—ln respect of the fiat count in the indictment [the administra tion of poison on the 19th February]. the jury, by a majority, find the prisoner NOT GUILTY i in respect of the gerund count [the administration of poison on the 22nd Februeryl, the jury, by a maienty, find the charge NOT PIiOVEN i and, in respect of the third count [that of murder by the adminietralion of weenie on the 22nd or 23rd March), the jury, by a tesjutity, end the charge 'widest the ',limner NOT PROVEN. This annnuncement, notwithstanding the waning of the bench, elii iced loud awl prolenged cheering from the crowded court, and the news beingiumwdiately pasmdon te the condemn outelde, in Perliament-square, the cheering was echoed Lack. The scene inside the court was altneet mousing. In vain the judges frowned—in vain the maces and officers of the court shouted silence—the pent-up feelinge of the crowd col , - tinual to tied relief in Imlay applause ; and it wee nut nn ' the Lord Justice Clerk had ordered en unlucky individual who had caught his eve to be taken into custody that order was teetered. The nature of the ver dict appeared to produce little or no elect on the mewed. She merely shifted bee pwition slightly, re-arranged tier cloak, which appeand to have partly [Alen unheeded fun her shoulders in the suspense) of the moment, end settled herself more comfortably in the seat which she had occupied during the nine previous days of the trial. The Lord Justice Clerk, addressing the jury, said he had to thank them, not only on the part of the mud, but on that of the country, for the great patience and delibe rate attention which they had bestowed upon the ease, and expressed his own concurrence and that of the court in the verdict at which they hid art ',red. lie was glad to say that the mutt were of opinion that they could, in consequence of the long service the jury had undergone un this it id, front m , relieve them from iug as jurors for five years. This course had been followed iu the trial of the maim spinner., which had lasted for nearly se long a period ; and this had been one of so anxioua a character that the Court thought it right to repeat the exemption. Hie Lerdithlp mien express 1 his salistution at having been emendated with them in this (We, for he had never been greater patience or intelligence displayed by any jury. The prisoner mot then dismissed from the bar, and wee cheered as sire descended the stair leading to the Celli beneath the court. A bewildered individual, who had been taken into custody for cheering in the gellerne, was then brought before the Court. The Lord Justice Clerk said that for the very in decent exhibition of which he had been guilty, under 1 the very eye of the court, they bed intended to send him at once to prison, but he seemed to Ire such a failith-looking person, and al be had to cu joined in his indecent behaviour by so many others, the dent did nut think hint lit to be so dealt with, and lie was nereedingly dismissal, amid the loud laughter of the whole useetublage, in which their lordships corld not help joining. The court then adjourned. It may be net...wry for English readers to explain what the three counts were on which Miss Smith wee tried. The first count, in which a verdict of "Not Guilty" woo returned, charged Madeline Smith, in the phraseology peculiar to eri nuourts, " with wickedly end feloniously administering arsenic ' or some other poison, with intent to mu rd er; ea also with m urder, in so fee se, Mat, on the 19th or 20 th days of February last (Thursday or Friday), in the house in Blythe wood-square, Glasgow, occupied by Jollies Smith, her father, she did wickedly and feloniously surnieiater to, or cause to be taken by, Emile L'Angelier, nr Pierre Etude L'Angelier, now deceased, and then, or lately before, in the employment of W.

The second end third counts, on which a verdict of "Nut Proven" was returned, charged that . Madeline Smith, on the 22nd or 23rd of February (Sundry or Monday), in the house at Illythswod-equare atireseed, did administer ' or cause to be taken by the maid Emile L'Angelier, a quantity or quantities, of ar-enie or other poiwn, in rows, or in coffee, or in some other article of foal or drink, or iu some other man ner, with intent to murder hint , and that la consequence of tithing the said poiwon that he again settend severe illness ; and on the 22nd or 23rd of March (Sunday or Mouday), in the hone in Blythswood-equere atiranith ebo did administer to, or cause to be taken by the said Emile L'Angelier, in some other article or articles of fad or drink to the pro secutor unknown, or in 'Owe other mmner to the prosecutor unknown, a quantity or quantities of arsenic or other poison to the proodutor unknown, and the said Emile L'Angelier having taken the mid arsenic or other poison, or part thereof, reireinistered or caused to be taken by the prisoner, he did immediately or 'won after suffer severe ill ness, and died tin the 23ed of March, in Conwenuente of the said arsenic or other poison having bien non bads by hina, and was thus murdered by the said Madeline Smith." The Glasgow , Daily Mail says of the trial on Wednes day—" Throughout this day, Mies Smith did not maintain that appearance of edits,. cenfidt nee that characterised her demeanour front the commencement of the preetediugt lest week. Iler countenance betrayal undoubted anxiety as the Lord Justice-Clerk dwelt upon the details of the evi dence in favour of nr against her •,_ and when even a strong point for the down was refemed to by his lordship. her nermusness awe quite manifest. During the greater part of the Dean of Faculty's eddrees in support of the de fence she hunt hack, with bee head down, and appeared at time, to be deeply ;Affected.
