It appea' ed that the Metro politan Board of Work. had passed a resolution directing I.lr J. Thwaites to seek an interview with Sir T. Wilson relative to the Hampstead Heath question, and more than one speaker at the meeting yesterday, spoke from his urn knowledge to the fact that Sir T. Wilson bad stopped kt home an entire week waiting for and expecting • visit hon. Sir J. Tliwaites, who had received more than one in ltstation to that effect. The matter gave rise to some , ery httotig expr c uions at the course pursued by the last gentleman, and it was resolved, " That the board 4 te, he ar d w i t h regret t h at t h e Ch a i rman o f th e Metropo itLta Losnl of Works has not carried out the resolution of t eat hoard in seeking an interview with Sir Thomas alma was willing to receive him, relative to the prei,,,ri on of /fanipstearldielith."

In the article upon Mr:Lowe's speech which we publish in another column we found it necessary to give his argument in as abridged form. The following extract from his speech, as published in Hansard,gives Mr. Lowe'■ words at length : I would ask the hews what are the prospects of the constituencies--what are the shames that the principle which the Chant/611°r of the Exchequer could not screw his nerves up to fees would remain inviolate' Is it net certain that in a few years from this the working men will be in a majority ? Is it not certain that causes are at work which will have • tendency to multiply the fran chise—that the 61. houses will become the 71. ones, and the W. houses will expand to 101.' There is no doubt an immense power of expandon ; and therefore, without straining anything at all, it is certain that sooner or later we shall see the working classes in • majority in the con stituencies. Look at what that implies. I shall speak very frankly on this subject, for having lost my character by saying that the working man could get the franchise for himself, which has been proved to be true, and for saying which he and his friends will not hat* me one bit the leas, I shall say exactly what I think. Let may gss demean consider—l have had such unhappy experiences, and many of us have—let any gentleman consider the con stituencies he has had the honour to be concerned with. U you went venality if you want ignorance, if you want drunkenness, and fLility for being intimidated ; or if, on the other hand, you want impulsive, unreffeolimg, and vie lent people , where do you look for them in the oonstituen cies .. Do you go to the top or to the bottom ? It ia ridi culous for us to allege that since the Reform Bill the sins of the constituencies, or the voters are mainly comprised between 201. and 101. But, then, it has been said the 101. shopkeepers, and lodging-house keepers, and beerhouse keepers, are an indifferent class of people ; but get to the artisan, and there you will see the difference. It is the sort of theory the ancients had about the north wind. The ancients observed that as they went further to the north the wind got colder. Colder and colder it got the further they went, just as the constituencies get worse and worse the nearer you approach 101. They reasoned in this way— If it is so cold when you are in front of the north wind how very warm it would be if you could only get behind it. And, therefore, they imagined for themselves a blessed land we have all read of, where the people, called the Hyperboreans, were always perfectly warm, happy, and virtuous, because they had got to the other side it the north wind. It is the same view that my right hon. friend takes with respect to the 101. franchise—if you go a little lower you get into the virtuous stratum. We know what those persons are who live in small hoaxes—we have had experience of them under the name of " freemen " and no better law, I think, could h a ve b ee n passed than that which disfranchised them altogeth e r. The govern ment are proposing to enfranchise one class of men who have been disfranchised heretofore. This class, dying out under one name, the government propose to bring back under another. That being so, I ask the house to consider what good we are to get for the country at large by this reduction of the franchise' The effect will manifestly be to add • large number of persons to our constituencies of the class from which if there is to be anything wrong going on we may naturally expect to find it. LONDON, CIIATRA.If, AND DOVER RAILWAY. A meeting of the B and C shareholders of this company was held at the London Tavern yesterday for the purpose of appointing a committee to maintain and pro tect their interests. Mr. H. D. WARIER occupied the chair. The meeting was pretty numerously attended at first, but the discussion was so protracted that towards the latter end there were not more than from twenty to thirty persons in the room. The CHAIRMAN ultimately moved that Mr. G. Chance, Mr. F. J. Haggart, Mr. George Hogerth, Mr. T. H. Isherwood, and Mr. H. D. War i er be a committee, with power to add to their number, to represent the interest of the B and C shareholders in all matters relating to the arrangements with the company, and to take such parliamentary pro oeedings as the committee may deem advisable ; that the committee be requested to consider the claims of the B and C shareholders against Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Crampton, and take any proceedings in reference thereto which the committee may deem expedient ; and that the expenses of the committee be borne by the shareholders, and that • contribution of one shiUing per cent. be made forthwith. Mr. AReca seconded. A SHAREHOLDER moved, AS an amendment, that two separate couimittees be appointed for the B and C share holders, but on being put the amendment was negatived. The original resolution was then put and carried ; and the customary vote of thanks brought the proceedings, which had lasted more than two hours, to a close. Two MEN SUFFOCATED BY SULEHURETTED Ihr- DIUA:F.N.-A serious accident, involving the sacrifice of two lives, occurred on Monday last at the Iceland Che mical Works, Bow; and hut evening Mr. Richards, the deputy coroner held inquest s upon the bodies of the de ceased, Amos Trowel, aged 23, and Matthew Clarke, aged 19. George Harley, a stillinan, add that the decease.' Amos Trowel was also a stillnian at the Iceland Chemical Works, Bow, and Clarke was a " wltman " there. On Monday last they were ordered by the foreman to empty a tank containing sulphate of ammonia, and ',knees went to the spot and found Clarke partly in the tank, Trowel standing on a stage close at band. Clarke tried to fit in a syphon to draw off the liquor, and he got a light and went down into the tank with it. He came up in a minute with the light out, and asked witness to relight the lamp. When asked what had put it out he did not answer, and as soon as the lamp bad been re lighted, he descended into the tank by means of a ladder. Witness Law him lean his face ou his baud, and prepared to seize hold of him, but he almost instantly fell ;into the liquor. Seeing the peril he was in witness went down the ladder, and succeeded in seizing hold of his anus, but became insensible before he could lift him. How wit ness got out he did not know, but when be revived be found himself on the platform cut and bruised. Other people were then trying to get A 1110 a Trowc! and Clarke out of the tank. The gas which did the mischief was sub phuretted hydrogen. How Trowel fell into the tank and lost his life could not be precisely ascertained ; but it is believed that when Harley became insensible he was res cued by Trowel, who then, in attempting to save Clarke, was himself overcome and fell into the liquor. Only a month ago Clarke had rescued Trowel from a tank under almost similar circumstances. The jury ri turned a verdict, " That the deceased men were accidentally suffocated by sulphuretted hydrogen gas in a certain tank at the Iceland Chemical Works ;" and they added that the foreman was highly censurable for allowing the men to descend into the tank without having properly tested its condition. FRoZEN To DEATH. —Ott Saturday an old news man, named Knight, was frozen to death not far from Bath. He was returning from Lis round to that city, where he resided, and had gone as far as Englishcombe, when he endeavoured, during the hail and sleet, to reach the nnin road (man Wells to Bath by a short cut through the Sella. One of those fields is on the incline, and it is believed that his lust was blown off, that in endeavouring to regain it he fen down, and, from the effects of the weather and exhaustion, wile not able to regain his feet. He was found the following morning, quite ' dead, by a shepherd. The poor man was in his t4th year and brad been a newsman for nearly half a century.— Another very melancholy case of death, through expo sure, occurred at Laidsoarich, near llouar Bridge, Suther landsbire, on the night of the sth lust. The day hail been exceedingly stormy and oold, and when night came down, a thick mist overhung the tieighboui in- hills, gradually spreading till height and hollow had all, shared in its density, and when darkness had fully set in. the pedestrian found it quite bewildering. A hoy, about V.! year. of age, named John Munro, and son of Mr. Finlay M unro. Combo!. Lich, had been sent on •mmisage to the village of Boner, where he w.ited for his father until about at night. The father and son then proceeded homeward, a distance of about four miles. By the way they went there was no road, but a sort of footpath through a wood, which ultimately ceased at the entrance to a piece of marshy ground. When about half way home they lost their way, and wandered in all directions. The boy then became faint and could proceed no further. His father took him on his back then, and proceeded some little distance. and after re peated inquiries of the boy if he was feeling better, to which there was no response, the father laid down his little son and found hiss stiff and dead. The disconsolate father became faint through grief and bewilderment, but after a time was able to go again in search of a house, but getting more bewildered by the death of his boy, ha fortunately, though unwittingly.changed his route through the hill., and ultimately found that lie bad travelled hee miles beyond his home. Search was wade on the follow ing day (Sabbathl and the body of the boy was found in the afternoon, miles from home, and quite covered with snow.

The 3fortiteur of yesterday says :—" The steamer Panama, of the Transatlantic Company, arrived yesterday at St. Nazaire, with despatches from Mexico to the 9th December, and Vera Cruz to the 14th. The return of the Emperor Maximilian to Mexico, stated to be imminent by the last mail, had not been announced at Vera Cruz up to the 14th December. The movements of our troops in the various provinces of the empire have nut so much the character of military operations as of preparations for returning home, and all the dispositions are taken in order to keep the enemy at a distance, and concentrate our columns upon the points indicated by the Commander-in-Chief. At San Luis de Potosi, General Mejia,whose health has improved, has obtained results which have raised the spirits of his troops and the inhabi tants. Three successive sorties, vigorously exe cuted, have driven back the enemy upon Bocos with considerable loss. The 2nd and 3rd l battalions of Cazadores were preparing to march to San Luis, where they will replace the two battalions of the foreign legion left with Colonel Guilhern. General Aymard is at San Andres with a column, constituted with sufficient strength to watch all the country around Perote. Canada, and Palmar, as well as Orizaba and Tehuacan. Porfirio Diaz does not appear to have any intention of again taking the field ; he hasdisiniased several battalions and destroyed part of the defences of Oajaca. Some misunderstanding appears to exist between him and Figueroa. According to a de spatch from Tehuacan, Saline's, lieutenant of Por firio Diaz, is said to have been completely defeated near Tehuantepec by the imperial troops under the command of Colonel lieragoza ; the dissi dents lost WV men hors de combat. The sanitary state of the army is highly satisfactory." GYMNARTICS IN FRANCE —A Paris letter in the Nord says it is contemplated to give greater importance to gymnastic exercises in all the colleges in France. Each of these establishments I. provided with a gymnasium, and the pupils are furnished with a special dress, but the exercises, which at present only take place once a week for an hour, are to be renewed more frequently. This modifi cation, which cannot fail to be advantageous to the health of the children, will also prepare them for marching and military mano,uvres, and render inure easy the training as soldiers and the management of arms, which hence forth they will have to learn when they have reached the ' age for the conscription. The enfants de troupe in the line, and especially in the guard and the engineers, early habituated to tender their bodies supple, are rem►rkable for their agility and physical address. Amongst those of the latter corps it is not rare to find some who perform on the trapeze like Leotard, while at the same time they pos. sees scientific attainments, and are capable of arithmetical or even algebraical calculations which the celebrated gymnast would doubtless be puzzled at, and even many pupil■ in the colleges would find a difficulty in solving. VIOLENT Di PLONACY.— An ambassador of a power of the first rank, at one of the principal Italian courts, discovered that his despatches were regularly communi cated to a neighbouring government before they reached him. He suspected that the traitor was to be found in his own chancellery, and took the following extraordinary means of detecting him. There were numerous brigands on the roads, and the courier bringing despatches for the above-mentioned diplomatist was attacked on the way, and fell dead with a bullet through his heart. But they were not ordinary brigands who did this. Their next and chief care was to carry the despatch bag to the ambassador, who, on opening it, discovered the clue to the spy. The latter was dia -1 missed ; the courier was believed to have been killed by I brigands ; his widow received a pension, and the person who conceived this extravagant mode of diplomatic dis covery sat some time later in the Chamber of Peers.— Revue des Deus Mondes.

The Coroner said, yesterday, he would again adjourn the inquiry. The man Scortaasn, who was still lying dangerously ill in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, was in the house No. 4 at the time of the explosion, and it was a question for the consideration of the jury whether they would adjourn until he could appear and give evidence. However, if the legal gentlemen con. altered that the inquiry might be resumed in a week he would adjourn till next Thursday. He thought they had bad sufficient evidence respecting the gas-pipes, and it was therefore desirable that they should examine the dis trict surveyor and get every information as to the condi tion of the houses before the explosion. The solicitors engaged consented to an adjournment for a weak, which acco rd ingly took place. LIcENSED VIeTUALLERfe ASYLUM. —The annual ball in aid of the funds of this admirable institution wan held last evening at St. James's-hall, when both the large awl small rooms were crowded—indeed, too much crowded —with ladies and gentlemen. The asylum, which is situ ated in the Old Kent-road, was founded in the year 1826, and, after numerous enlargements, it now contains 100 dwellings, which are occupied by 200 inmates. The Smalley wing, the foundation stone of which was kid by H. it.H. the Duke of Edinburgh on the 10th of November last, and which will be ready for occupation in March or April next, will consist of 12 dwellings, and will afford accommodation for about an equal number of pensioners, who are already in the receipt of pecuniary allowances from the institution. The ball of last evening was • com plete success, and no doubt produced • sub stantial addition to the funds of the charity. Adams's quadrille band, consisting of iso performers, was in attendance ; and to its enlivening strain, dancing was kept up till an advanced hour this morning. In the course of the evening Mr. W. Smalley, the secretary of the In corporated Society, who was himself educated in the school, and who contributed 1,000 guineas to the erection of the new buildings which hear his name, was introduced to the company by the chairman of the asylum. The mention of his name was received with loud applause from both ladies and gentlemen ; and Mr. Smalley said a few words, in which he expressed the interest which be felt in the institution, and promised to continue in the future the services which he had rendered in the past. The ar rangements were under the control of Mr. Wright, the chairman ,• Mr. Ward, of Greenwich, the chairman elect ; and Mr. Imrie, the seeretezy ; and left nothing to be desired. PALACE'.

(rsom oua OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TRUIPMAT EVENING. There are symptoms that the " Eastern ques tion" must have been the leading topic at the last ministerial council. Several of the evening papers have leading articles upon it. Of course they do not know much, and their observations are of small moment, but they know generally that something important is on the tapia about Turkey and Greece. A telegram says that the Turkish government is about to call out 150,000 men of the reserve in order to be ready for a rising in the provinces bothering on Greece. This is a curious commentary on the assertion that the Cretan insurrection is altogether suppressed. The Pattie, whose article of the other day affirming broadly that the "main tenance of Ottoman domination in the archipelago" must be maintained by an agreement between France and England wu disavowed bythe Moniteur, returns to the charge, patronised as it is by a minister who is not the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Pattie argues that Greek Christians have now no cause of complaint, that there is no longer any conflict between the Crescent and the Cross, but only one between western civilisation and " Czarism." The Prease professes to believe that a conference will be proposed either by Turkey or Austria, and that a conference will shortly meet —a conference which, pace the Presse I do not be lieve in, would certainly not confirm the domina tion of Turkey in the Archipelago. The Libel te points out as important an opinion expressed by the France, that the reason for the pending reorganisation of the army is the anticipa tion of " eventualities of which the war in Ger many would be the point de depart." This is, 1 think, the first time that the prospect of a war to avenge the too great success of M. de Bismarck in carrying out the plans concerted at Biarritz has been so distinctly foreshadowed by a French semi official paper. M. Lecoudray, the employs of the lighthouse of the Levant Island Penitentiary, who had no higher social rank than that of a discharged sailor, is gazetted in to-day's Moniteur a chevalier of the Legion of Honour. This prompt honorary reward for the courage he showed during the terrible mutiny when the hearts of those who should have stood in the breach failed them, is most com mendable. No dr,ubt M. Lecoudray will be either pensioned for life or provided with a place which will assure him a competence to the end of his days. The public prosecutor's speech in this affair did homage to the opinion against capital punishment. He said, most truly, that blacker and more inexcusable crime was never heard of, but that he could not ask for a capital verdict on account of the number of the guilty. It would, he said, shock the manners and opinions of the day to have a dozen people guillotined on one scaffold. He was unable to select one, two, or three as more guilty than many others, and there fore, after much reflection and painful doubt, he had come to the conclusion that the number of the guilty was practically a ground for mercy to ally and he could not ask for a sentence of death in any one case. The Bourse recovered but very slightly from the depression of the last two days. ALLEGED BARBARITY OF THE TURKS IN CANDIA. We read in the Actnir National of yesterday's date :—" Some time ago, it will be remembered, the English steamer Assurance received on board some children, women, and old men of Selinos ; the captain of the ship promised to return in a week and take those who wished to find shelter from the barbarity of the Turks. A few days afterwards a frigate without colours appeared, sure enough, on the horizon ; the fugitives rushed to the sea shore. When she had approached near enough to the land the frigate launched a long boat, over which waved the English flag ; the shore was crowded with Christians, who had hastened forth at sight of this signal of safety. At the same moment the vessel displayed the Ottoman flag, and discharged all her guns upon this unarmed crowd. This incredible act of barbarity is attested by one of the principal papers of Greece, the //ennupo/iti printed at Syra ; the committee of that town received the news in a letter, dated the Bth (20th) December, addressed to it in the name of the General Assembly of the Cretans. According to this letter, the number of victims was considerable. Before such a fact the heart throbs with indignation ; public opinion claims satisfaction ; the rights of humanity must be avenged, and it ought to be known whether the commander of the Turkish frigate obeyed the fero cious instincts of his race or the instructions of his government." Tim CASE or THE TORNADO. —The crew of the Tornado, it appears, are still imprisoned in Cadiz, and the trial of the vessel is still going on before the Spanish Prize Court. A Cadiz paper reported a few days ago that the court had admitted the demand of the Auditor de Guerra that the vessel should be declared lawful price. But this admission seems not to be equivalent to a sentence of the court to the same effect, for we find the same journal speaking of the defence of the Tornado as a matter still to be undertaken, and with respect to which there was some difficulty, because so exalted waatho patriotism of Spanish lawyers that not one in Cadiz could be found to defend a vessel accused of being a Chilian. Our English maxim that innocence is to be assumed till guilt is proved, does not seem to receive much consideration in Cadiz. It was said that a Madrid lawyer had undertaken to defend the Tornado, but the Cadiz journal had discovered that this gentleman was some relation to the unfortunate Admiral Pareja, who shot himself before Valparaiso, and the writer could not conceive it possible therefore that he should undertake the defence of a vessel charged, no matter whether rightly or wrongly, with being a Chilian.—Gibrab tar Chrimiele Dee. 27. , ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF ENGLAND. — The following members of the college having been elected Fellows at previous meetings of the council, were admitted as such on the 10th inat., viz.—Messrs. Thomas JOllell Dyke, Merthyr Tydfil, diploma of membership, dated Noven'ber 2, 1838, and Thomas Edward Ainyot, Dias, Norfolk, April 12, 1839.

THE INSTITUTION or CIVIL ENGINEERS.—At the last meeting of the members of this society, on the Bth inst., Mr. C. H. Gregory, vice.presi.lent, in the chair, six candidates were balloted for, and declared duly elected, including five members, viz. :—Mr. John Clark, engineer to the municipal council of Shanghae ; Mr. Lewis Henry Moorsom, resident engineer in charge of works at the London-road Station, Manchester, of the London and North Western and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire Railway Companies ; Mr. James Long Parker, execu tive engineer of the first grade in the service of the govern ment of India, Meerut ; Mr. Charles Same, chief engineer to the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company ; and Mr. Edwin Thomas, engineer to the Regent's Canal Company ; and one associate, viz. :—Mr. Adam Fettipleas Bland), resident engineer, Millwall decks. [STAMPED, Id. ADDITIONAL.] THE POISONING CASE IN NORFOLK. DOCKING, JLN. 10. Further proceedings took place to-day in regard to the charges of poisoning illegitimate children preferred against four parsons named John Grief, Swan Grief, Mary Grief, end Sarah Grief. John Grief and Susan Grief, it may be convenient to state, are husbead and wife, and the two other prisoners are their daughters, the mothers of the children alleged to have been poisoned. John Grief was again brought up in custody from Norwich Castle, and the other prisoners from Wymoudham Bridewell. Mr. Wilkin, of Lynn, appeared for **promotion ,• and Mr. Ford, bar ri ster, in structed by Mr. Blanton, of Hun stanton, for the prisoners. The magistrates present wan Major Hare, Major Hollway, and Mr. C. F. N. Rolfe. Mr. Wilkin, in commencing the proceedings, said he had given the matter the best consideration, and he wee not prepared to press the charge against the prisoner John Grief, or his two daughters ; but be should ask for the committal of Sarah Grief, the grandmother of the deceased children, on the charge of poisoning them. These remarks applied to the children Ann Maria Grief and Alfred Grief. It was important to show a motive for the act imputed to the remaining prisoner, and in this OW the children who had died were • burtben to the household, in which there were already eight legitimate children ; they had also never been affiliated. As regards the third child, Jsmima Grief, which died in IMP little aloes than a quantity of mould had been found in the coffin, and the analysis would be a work of comaiderehle time • it had not yet been completed by Mr. Sutton, and he sh ould not refer further to that branch of the subject at present. As regards the remaining prisoner, he should be in a posi tion to offer very strong evidence. Mr. Ford entered a protest on the part of the prisoners against the course of proceeding adopted on • previous occasion. The attorney for the prosecution called one prisoner to give evidence against another prisoner. Such • proceeding had never been heard of before in an English court of justice. After a little discussion, in the coarse of which Mr. Wilkin observed that it was only as • matter of courtesy that Mr. Ford was present at all, although he had no ob jection whatever to his presence The depositions of various witnesses examined on pre vious occasions were read over. The first deposition was that of Mrs. I'itcher, of Shernhorne, who stated the cir cumstances which atteaded the death of the child, Alfred Grief, which she attributed to pawn. The second depo sition was that of Mr. T. M. endall, surgeon, of Lynn, who confirmed the conclusion. The third deposition was that of Mr. F. Sutton, analytical chemist of Norwich, who stated that he had found arsenic in the body of the deceased child. The fourth deposition was that of Wm. Howard, police-constable, who stated that the prisoner Susan Grief had said to him, without his awing anything to cell for the remark, " I know you suspect me of poisoe ins the child, but if I have to suffer for it I don't care •d— about it." This witness also stated that he found a packet of arsenic lying on the top of the bed in which the prisoner Susan Grief and her husband slept. The prisoners Sarah Grief, Mazy Grief, and John Grief were then set at liberty. Sarah Grief was instructed, however, to remain in the neighbourhood, in order, that she might be called as a witness if it were deemed advisable to examine her. Mrs. Pitcher, further examined, deposed—l went to Mr. Groom, the district registrar, to register the death of Alfred Grief. I did so at the request of Mrs. Grief, the prisoner. I saw Mr. Groom make the entry. Mary Grief, the mother of the child, sobbed • good deal on its death ; but the prisoner did not exhibit any emotion, and did not shed • tear. Cross-examined—l was sent for to the house of the Gnefs by George Grief, one of the sons. The prisoner, Susan Grief, said nothing to me at first ; but afterwards told me to lay the body out on the table. Mary Grief fainted, and the prisoner shook her, and said, " Come, you ain't all that bad, I know." The prisoner afterwards salted me to fetch Mary's clothes from the bedroom, as she was in her night-dress. I helped the prisoner to put the clothes on her daughter. Mary Grief had not recovered from her fainting fit when I left the house. Later in the morning the prisoner asked me to come and wash the child and lay it out. I went, and Mary Grief assisted me ; the prisoner went about her household affairs. I remarked that night that the child was very hot about the stomach when I first saw him. I had put my hand upon the stomach, and it was like • fire. When I made the remark the prisoner and her family were present, but no answer was made by any one. I went with Mary Grief to register the death of the child at Mr. Groom's. I went also to Mr. Groom's with Sarah Grief to register the death of her child when it died. I did so at the request of the prisoner. Mr. W. Groom deposed—ln November last I was registrar of births and deaths for the Snettisham dis trict of the Docking union. I recollect Mrs. Pitcher, the last witness, coming to register the death of Alfred Grief on the 7th of November. The child died on the sth of November. The death of the child was attributed to amines, and it was registered accordingly with the remark, "No medical attendant." On the Ifith April, 1666, I registered the death of Ann Maria Grief, the child of Sarah Grief. Mrs. Pitcher came to register the death which was attributed to inflammation of the lungs ; it was notcertified, however. I made the entry of April 16 in the presence of Mrs. Pitcher. Either Mary or Sarah Grief came with Mrs. Pitcher to register the death of Alfred Grief. Cross-examined—The entry states that Mrs. Pitcher was present at the death of the child. Mrs. Pitcher, recalled, said, when she went to register the death of Sarah Grief's child, in April, Sarah Grief accompanied her. Witness was' not instructed to assign any cause of death. Sarah Grief described the symp toms, and Mr. Groom raid, "Do you think it was inflam mation ?" Sarah Grief said, '• Yes, it was." Witness supposed that inflammation of the lungs was meant by this. Witness went to register the death of Sarah Grief's child by the prisoner's direction. Mr. W. lose, superintendent of police for the Docking district, deposed—l was present at the coroner's inquest on the body of Alfred Grief on the 12th and 22nd of No vember. The prisoner was present, and nia.le a state ment. The coroner duly cautioned her, but she made and signed a statrineut, which was put down in writing by the coroner. The statement was as follows:—" lam the mother of Mary Grief, and the grandmother of the child, Alfred Grief, whose body the coroner and jury have seen. I remember the child being taken ill on Saturday evening. I found him sick when I went to look at him that night, as he was in het with the other children. I never gave him or any of the other children any medicine whatever. I was present when the police found the parcel of white powder now produced. I don't know how it came there. I never saw it before. I never knew my husband to bring arsenic into the house. He is occasionally employed in dressing sheep for other people, but he always mixes the stuff at the house of the people where be is r mployed. I sent my daughter some time sines to Mr. Cowing s. the chemist, for some arsenic to kill mice with, but she did not get it there, and I never got it from anywhere else." The deposition of Miss Marriette Morden, schoolmistress at Shernborne, taken at a previous stage of the inquiry, was read. It stated that the child Alfred Grief, suffered from frequent sickness on the lest day that he attended school, and that he was sent home in conse quence. The child seemed pleased, on the same ;lay, with a new frock, which he said his wother had given him. Miss Monlen also deposed that she sent the child home—that in, to the prisoners—but to her surprise he returned to school in the afternoon,wben M was again very sick. - . William W mks, of Lynn, deposed—l am groom and coachman to Mr. Kendall, surgeon, of that town. 1 took a jar containing viscera to the Lynn Hospital. My master gave it to me. It was a sealed jar, and I took it into Mr. Wilson's bedroom at the hospital, as he was not out of bed. Mr. Wilson is house-surgeon at the hospital. This was some time in November, on a Monday. On the pre vious dry I had driven Mr. Kendall to Shernborne and back. On coming away he put into his carriage the jar, which I afterwards took to Mr. Wilson. . . . . William Howonl, recalled, said the prisoner had told him when he called upon her that she had sometimes given the child apiece of something to eat—sonietimes one thing and sometimes another. She then made the remark as to ber tieing suspected of poisoning the child, and that if she suffered she did not care a for it. . . . . Mr. F. Sutton, analytical chemist, of Norwich, depeeed— The arsenic which I found in the body of the deceased child, Alfred (:rief, could not have been mixed with any thing else, certainly not with spirits of tar, such as is used in sheep dressing. I analysed the powder found over the prisoner's bed, and discovered it to be arsenic—the anti. nary ers.mic of commerce. It wee alsoprecisely the same kind of arsenic I found in the body of the deceased child. I found three particles of undissolved arsenic in the body of the deceased. We always look for redissolved arsenic, and in this cane I found it on the coats of the stonia.A. I iv moved it with my finger, and also with a feather. I ascer tained the presence of unsolved arsenic in the stomach by means of hydrochloric acid. Mrs. Pitcher. recalled, stated that the prisoner was the mother of 12 children, and they were nearly all at home in November. There were also two illegitimate children of the eldest daughter's in the house at the time. One ille gitimate child of oue of the daughters is still living. Cruse-eits:nined —All the prisoner's own children have lived, and all but three are earning their own living. Superintendent Rose said, on the 12th of November. when the prisoner was apprehended, she said. " I have been troubled with children all my lifetime ; they . have kept me in great poverty, and if you were to look is my house now, you would not find a piece of bread." The remark was made quite voluntarily by the prisoner, and wee not the result of any observation made by witness. The deposition of Mr. Cowing, chemist, of Snettisham, taken at a previous stage of the inquiry, was put in and read. It stated that on the 26 th of October William
