Minis ten promised to give an answer on the 27th with regard 'o their lute: ions respecting the publication i n salon% of the fundamental rights of the German natio ~ as tit.WA up at Frankfort. FRANKFORT, 'AS • 24. Another unlucky day in the fasti of Germany. It was decided some days ago that the future Regent of Germany should be chosen from among its crowned heads. This decision was obtained by a clever Naar. M tie re. The various propositions enbmitted to the National Assembly were —l. A sort of president freely elected among all el teles of German eitizens.-2. A Director, consisting of three or five prieces.-3. The alienate supremacy of the King of Pruseia and the Emperor of Austria.-4. A Regent chosen from among the 32 reigning kings and princes of Germany. This last preject obtained a majority solely because itwas last on the by, ard people dreaded lest all the projects should be rej. cted, and parliament thus give to itself a testimonium peuoertatis." You willask psrhape, why have all these parkas been rejected? My answer is simply because in all a false view of the present state of things in Germauy is taken. Some kind of dicta torship would b- necessary for Germany—a strong and energetic but proeisional dictatorship, and not a direc tory, a "turn-about," an emperor taken at hap-hazard from among princes who have proved themselves unable to fp vern their own subjects. The conviction that we shall do no good unless we make a pro visory, which shall give Germany time to look around her, is felt by many, and is the principal reason why none of these several propositions have obtained a true majority. Yeiderday wee discussed the question as to the title of the future Regent of Germany be.ng hereditary. The Prussian Rarty, who by a aka ul manceuvre obtained the majority of which I have been speaking, attempted, yesterday, to play the same game over again. Bat it did not succeed. The quter ion " whether the title of regent of Germany stould be hereditary ?" was, according to the 'reckoning of this party, to have come last, in order to gain in its favour all the irresolute and timid votes. The house, however, decided that it should be the first,and it was rejected by 270 votes to 216. This vete was the true indication of the mind of the howls. The Prussian party, together with the doctrinaires who desire the hereditary empire, numbers 216 vote', with their posse canasta& Meantime many of the liberal deputies of Saxony and Baden were aleinnt. Taking all into account, the majority against a Prussian empire would probably amount to 100 votes, if all the absent deputies were to be recalled to give a deci sive vote. It does not, however, follow that, taking all into account, there would not be a majority in favour of an hereditary empire. Among the 210 votes who decided against an here ditary empire and against the Prussian empire, there were some who consider that it is not within the scone of the Assembly to constitute Germany. These are the absolutist!' and the red republi cans. The first are opposed to all representative rye. tans I the last hope for another revolution, if the Emmet Assembly fail to establish anything solid. The first hope that th a usrinces may °driver a constitu tion ter the empire, the second would not be sorry if the kings of Germany themselves were thus to sow the seeds of a future revolution in the constitution which they would make. These two parties having gives their support to the Prussian and dictrissaire party, their entire number (in voting on the question whrAher the future regain shall be elected far six yews), amounted to 266 votes against 196. The debate ',yesterday was therefore without result, for all the propositions and ameadments kill to the ground. We are told that thisstgative result will fore* the primes to " actroyer " a rionititution. Ido not believe this, for it Mould lead the princes further than they care to go, and in the end to a second revelation. There are may, however, who urge the prisms towards this end, and many who have lately some influence have pronounced in favour of heM attempt. lEDe Court.

T. ORANGES seconded the motion. The melt-tax was is bad • tax es any minister could propose. It war now a period of free trade, and as the farmers' produce was subject to, it was only air that they should have the bene fits of, it as well as others. It was monstrous in a time of free trade that any tax should be suffered to remain on the people to the amount of between 60 and 80 per cent. This tax also prevented the potpie from luta' wane barley • if the poor man could use opine barley to make beer, lid they not suppose that a rut part of the popu lation world have beer made of grinding barley ? The ream why it was not used was the enormous tax en malt. He would ask what they thought beer wee now made el ? t(nustites.) He read some statistical statement to show that is 1730, with • duty of lits. • bushel, and a population of five or mix millions, about twenty-eight million bat) ale of . malt were consumed; wbereasia 1846, when the population wan trebled, the consumption was increased only abut two million bushels, or one.lithientli. What was the reason of this small increase ? Perhaps it might be said that brewers had become ms e selentiflo. (Loud migh t He had no desire to detract from the ability of the brewer; all be wanted was, th at the labourers might be in • position to show their ingenuity in the brewing of their own beer. Tory had met to get rid of an obnoxious, unjust, and intolerable tax. Let the Chancellor of the Exchequer try to impose an additional income-tax, and he would be met as he was be ' fore ; the country would not have it. (.:luon.) Mr. JONAS said they must have untaxed malt foe the labourer's beer, sad untaxed malt to feed their cattle with. They were jus tified in oall.ng for a repeal of the salt-tax, They must have Increased production, or they could aut employ the labourers. They must have more manure to in crease the fertility a the soil. What could he do, firming so he did some of the thin skinned lands of Cambridneshire He wee obliged to keep a hundred bullocks, and they were fed on oil Wu, brought at immense expense and trouble from Cincinnati, while, it he could use the produce of his own farm, he would sustain no lose, while now he would be glad to give three hundred pounds to get rid of the lees on those bullocks. (Hear.) They gave a large quantity of beer to their labourers. The manufacturers bad no tax ; but he could not use the produce of his own farm till he had paid this obnoxious tax. Would they etaud this t (No.) No! they were made of sterner stuff. As the greut captain of the age scii, tip, boys, end at them." Never raga, never cease to demand the justice to which they were fully entitled—either • ratorati n of the protection so unjustly taken from them, or a reduction of taxation to enable them to compete with the untaxed of other lands. (Lund chars.) He moved— . . . ----- That the tax an malt, at the present prices, is particularly unjust towards the ageiculturist, aa it taxes one or the priumpal articles o his produation at the enormous rats of 60 or to per cent. thereby mat materially iemening its consumption and demand, and &venat ion its use is Wilds( cattle. Mr. BALL said—ls it not monstrous that he could not nee that rodeos is his own family without paying a tax nearly equal to its origicial cost—could not 1114 it to recruit the bodily strength of his labourers whose services were so important ? It seemed extraordina ry that, when such emi nent a2riculturists said there was a saccharine support in barley, that they could not use it to feed cattle, while the foreigner could grow barley, malt it, feed his cattle, and then bring them into our market. Then, with the high duty, the master would take nothing but the finest and best-coloured barleys, while the farmer could net use the produce so rejected for his cattle or for his house hold purpose The repeal would give a market for the in feri.ir qualities, and open all opportunities for its use. Then the to was irregular, and all irregular taxes were unjust. Malt was aot used in the eider countries, and a portion if the country supported their labourers with a taxed, and part with an untaxed article. (Cheers.) Was that justice ? Milt had net advanced with the population, but leas was made now than 100 years ago. Nothing could show the in justice and hepatic, of the tax more than that the people had quadrupled and the melt had decreased. (Cheers.) When untaxed, every large farm had a malting, ante the malt was equivalent for money wages to the labourer, and it was used is the sustenance of the laboarers' families, at half the oast to the farmer now incurred. What should they Nair of thaw who would not come out thoroughly with them . ? who said it was a bad tax, but it must not be abo lished for fear of iocenveniencing the Chancellor of the Exchequer ? Did the Chancellor of the Exchequer think how the farmer was to meet his liabilities when he abolished protection ? They were not Chancellors of Exchequer : did they ever know a chancellor abate the taxation tall he was obliged, and the reapplies were denied ? They must have a reduction in the expenditure, and mutt sat be so nice as to the means by which they got it. (L read cheers.) They mast not step for fmr of Incommoding the Chance l lor of the Ex chequer. Mr SMITH advocated union for repeal of the malt tax— petitions from every town and every village—the farmers and labourers were all of one mind, and they would eventu ally bring out the landlords, and then the repeal was carried. Let union and perseverance be their motto, their cause was righta:us, and must ultimately prevail.—The motion was I seconded by several parties simultaneously. A petition to parliament having been brought forward and multitudinously signed, the meeting diapered.—Abridged frogs Cosibrido CAratick. MEETING AT NEWMARKET.

Locke, of Sitapsthorpe, colliery agent (brother to Mr. Locke, M.P. for Insitot), who deposed that he had on the 10th of Jsauary inst., along with Mr. Jeffeock, of Sheffield, a colliffy_viewir and isibtaar, been into and examined the 1 Dailey Maim °Gilkey. - Re went to ascertain the quantity I of cool whisk had bees gee during the previous half year.

The Coroner then read a letter which had been received from Sir G. Grey, the H .me Secretary, in answer to a com munication from the magistrates at Barnsley, in which Sir G. Grey stated that if it was their opinion that the presence of some person an the pert of the government to watch the proceedings wee necessary, the government would send one. After some convention the jury decided that the coroner should apply to the government to send down an inspector. —Some other witnesses having given evidence the inquest was adourned to Thursday week. Daring the afternoon the greater part of the unfortunate sufferers were buried. Five large graves were made in the churchyard at Wonbro'. IRELAND. DUBLIN. JAN. 27. The Dublin Evening Mail of last night says it has high authority for stating that a number of Oxford and Cambridge men are to be appointed to profes sorships in the Queen's Colleges, and that the prin ciple of "No Irish need apply " is to be adopted with respect to the Irish candidates for office in the new colleges. The result will probably show that the Mail has received very erroneous information on this subject. In consequence of the excessive crowds at the ' drawing room on Thursday night at the Castle, it is said that steps will be taken in future to prevent so disagreeable a pressure. There were upwards of 1,300 gentlemen and 500 ladies present, and in the crowd the debutantes of the season were quite un noticed, as in such a throng no one could be seen to advantage. SCOTLAND. FINANCIAL REFORM.—A public meeting or the inhabitants of Leith favourable to financial reform was held in the Assembly-rooms there on Saturday last; Provost M'Laren in the chair. A letter from the Lord Advocate, the member for the burgh, dated 17th Jan., was read, stating that no one could be more deeply impressed than was his lordship with the necessity for financial reform ; but that be regretted that it would not be in his power to attend the_prosent meeting. THE QUESTION OF THE RIGHT OP WAY THROUGH OLIN TILT again occupied the Court of Sessi' , n on Friday and Intraday. Counsel having been heard, the case was ad journed till Thursday, when the defender, the Duke of Athol, Is to lodge written defence*. An EXPLOSION startled the inhabitants of Edin burgh on Thursday. An intense vibration of the earth shook the - henna near the Canongato ; the inmates were in some caws thrown down ; end windows were broken. Toe case of the disaster was non ascertained, and the attention of the crowds who now thronged to the spot was drawn to a sheet of bright flame arising from the gas-holder of the Edinburgh Gas Company, which told too truly that the immense gum. tity et gas which it contained had, by some unknown means caught fire. In another ;moment the whole was one sheet of flame, the crowds which lined ;the Calton-hill, Regent- road, and the adjoining points, from which a view of the burning mum could be obtained, forming as it were en im meue amphitheatre in the distance. The fire con tinued to blaze with groat fury until gradually, as the gas was consumed, the gas-holder immerged in the tank amongst the water beneath, and the conflagration was ultimately ex tinguished by means of wet blankets and coarse sacking being spread over the shattered remains of the gasholder. The mysterious part of the matter is, by what means the gas in the holder became ignited. The gasometer was com pletely isolated, surrounded by a wall, and, as we are informed, no fire or combustible substance allowed inside. t here were in the gar-holder at the time nearly 300,000 cubic feet of gas, the greater portion of which would of course be consumed. The total damage was estimated at about 2,0001 EXTENSIVE FORGERIES IN GLARGOW.—On Wed nesday last a eerie of forgeries wen discovered to have been perpetrated by Mr. Alexander Buchanan, the senior partner in the firm of Buchanan and Anderson, gingham and puniest, manufacturer., 62, Queen-street. Buchanan, it is said, for a considerahle period, was in the habit of re tiring the forged documents a„day or so previous to their bo oming due ; but on Wedneedsy this precaution had been neglected, and a bill of 6791. was presented by one of the banks to the ostensible acceptors, W. B. Biggins and Co., who, of coarse, were astonished at the production of such a document. This caused the bank to communicate with the Individual, who on the pretence a oondsg to the office to explain, made his escape, and has am sense been heard of. The extent of the forgeries is variously stated at from 12,0001. to 20,0001, but at any rate It is generally believed that them have been forgeries to the amount of 7,0001. • n one of the Glasgow banks, and 6,0001. on another. Then are • number of other bills for various amounts in the Lands of different parties, bearing the same signature, as also a sig nature purporting to be that of John Fife and Co., riser chanta,Benfleld-street, all drawn by Alexander Buchanan, and likewise pronounced forgeries. THE ANCIENT STONE BRIDGE AT INVERNESS has been destroyed by an overflow of water coming down from Lochneas. The west side of the town has been much flooded, and most of the poorer population will suffer con siderably. PROVINCIAL. ----- LORD CAMPBELL AND MR. T. B. ADDRION.—On the sth of Jan. we reported, under the heading " A Scene at the Preston Beesions," some very strange conduct on the part of a *aunty magistrate, lit. T. B. Addison. &Me Tidally the facts were published and made the subject of comment in other journals, and the publicity thus given to the affair induced the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster to write to Mr. Addison, requiring a statement of the facts, and an ezplanation of his conduct. It will be recollected that on a verdict of acquittal being given in the ease of Mary Richardson, charged with robbery, Mr Addison was stated I to have denounced the jury as a "set of empiric," and to have asked them how they could think of giving such a ver dict on their oaths ? also with saying to a juror who at tempted to remonstrate, " Well, don't argue, you're not fit," "the jury cannot have a doubt in the case ' " and then addreming the prisoner ironically, " You have had a wire jui si zalten you are wand spin, you may hope for such I" On the 19th Mr. Addis= replied to Lord Clampba. In his reply that gentleman tom lains of the asisensg given to the report of the gs in the as but admits that he is unable to give a verbatim elell q =lerhat be seamily said, and contents himself with eibming to fib slispeitisas made in the case respecting the valid an whisk lie ebeiresiews were made, and with rely ing as his own memory as to the points differing from the printed associate. The learna i r i l i entleman then complains that the newspapers endued to hi ve what he considered a pemisent part of the speech by him to the jury after the waist, vitt., that in which he adverted to the deep rested *mien It many men " not all of them vulgar," that women et tbe pdsenWs da m are not aiminally emesable Orr *A ben the person, an opinion enensoes, though emeelbiet obelieately acted on, aad this *bough one or two of the jury might have entertained the eeraneous opinion, he strongly =premed his censure against those who were brought to coneur in a verdict et whist their consciences =it—Mr. Addison adrift that be did address the terms strongly sualsamine the verdict of the jury. He admits that a WOW* meginvele publicly ex ani4 at his Mr. AAmdish) observations, t r ur a desies dbm E r t ° R i r i spt i ke yle*a =e who incer rupted him, his remarks be to perms assembled in the evert. The sitTgentisma then abeits the main point of the charge mode evilest him, of having severely "rated" the jury be their "tweak of duty" in the verdict returned. He exposes his regret at the occurrence, but pleads that his " feelings were bent by a painful colli sion ." but although he feel lii pride weeded at having his name coupled with eireinernases other than he could wish, he still, " after searching his heart," finds no cause for self reproach. He urges, in mitigation of the een- Mee littered by him against the verdict, that " juries like all porsellt appearing before a tomb an sada Its operTision, sad oubjeot to its thasere ;" and that "a peelers* verdict is a saisbebevkwr, committed in the lath of the court, apt to involve the theft in the discredit whisk Mends it, sad property the anliset of epergne repeal." I[r. Adams - 8841We' by engin thee it was themsea for hint that be met enmities hem the Week sad that at least he limit have been With* made aware that he had ant hie bather thagistrate's eeseurrethe, as whatever be might have said seam would have been melt fitly corrected by him self. Lord Campbell in his reply, dated the 22nd inst., ex presses his satisfaction at finding that it will sot be necessary or him to native Mr. Addison a name from the cenunission of the pesos for the county of Lancaster, as he appease to have been actuated by so improper motive, bat hue:premed his regret for the intemperate expressions used. His lordship at the same time "orations" Mr. Addison Against the danger of his doctrine that he has a right to treat what he calls a " perverse verdict," as a " misbehaviour cam- Flitted In the face of the court," and seys, "although Judges in former these lined and imprisoued juries, everinnee the revolution of 1688 the greatest judges that have adorned Westminster Hall have respected the decorum of ju ticisl procedure by quietly acquieedug in verdicts which they out , fiend erroneous." His lordship concludes by saying that he has received the spontaneous testimony of gentlemen of all political penes to the learning, abilities, and nespetted in tegrity of Mr. Addison, end expresses his earnest wish that t' • county palatine may keg enjoy hie service' as a ma ghtrate. Tpmee S zl l mu tt tel ß Dn ;o led n a filit ac 'e i s s P fl meeting z —atAitit the Tesza Cil wi lrat borarlrdi P E anon D d ll Fueadilithl CATlO ni, ltt s.rosi P r O ßo l: in that town. A vote of thanks having been given to the right hon. baronet for his susport of the institution, he, in returning thanks, said :—" He provost' to extend the benefit of education to a greater number of mesons in Tansworth by making some modification in the school endowed by his father. The endowment left by his father amounted to 1701 a year, and was, he conceived, specially applicable to the education of the poor; though ample power was left to modify the school or even discontinue it altogether, still the original intention was to afford the advantage of edu mtion to the poorer classes, and the modification he . pro. posed was such as would increase the means of iving them a moral and religious education. It had always, appeared to him, however, that while I/1 much ARUM. non was paid to the poorer clause, the class above them was neglected, and it would cost a tradesman 201. or 301. to give an education to his son at a boarding. echo I, while an equal education was supplied elm At gratuitously to the poor. A foundation was thus being I.id for the co.tver, sion of the order of society ,• they were educating those wh ' had to depend upon their labour for subsistence above the e tucatlon which the ad idle classes were e nailed to Rive their children. If he could .o modify the school e.idowed by Lis f ober as to make it more conducive to tee interests of the poorer classes, end at the same tine tire (wild a for th education of the middle classes, he thoueht Le should tooter a great benefit upon the town. He would now tell them whit he had done. Of course the first Inducement to a respectede man to send hie children would be to be pre fmtly assured of the moral character and qualifications of the =steer of that school. He had accordingly written to Mr. Moseley, one olds- inspectors of the Privy Council, and t)ld him that he was ready to apply • pro p.rtion of the endo - mot towards the income of a muter el:tinted in one of the training schools, according to the best system of instruction, and that he hoped he would feel a suflich it Lderest in his duties here as not to seek to be employed elsewhere. Hr had also had an interview, when he was last in town, with Mr. Chester, Mr. Massey, and with the heads of the train ing echoes. They all knew how deceitful certificates were, so he told Mr. Moseley that he had confidence in him, and asked him to seed the best mister he could find. Mr. Mose ley informed him that, from the manner in which the mas ters were trained, the system being s- perfect, they were in great demand by merchants and manufacturers, and above all, from the impetus given to the cause of education. He also said that he wished to place the school in connexion with the Priv y Council. The school being under the inspection if the Privy Council, and the muter being appointed by the Council, the master would be entitled to rece.ve an additional salary from the Council. There were three classes of certificated muten in connexion with the training schools. The first clue masters wen allowed a salary of 101. or 151. • year ; the second class, a salary varying from 151. to 201. ; and the third class, a salary of from 251. to 301. The masters were also entitled to have pupils in course of training for schoolmasters, and the third class certificated master, in ad dition to a salary of 251 or 301., was allowed 101. a year for one pupil teacher, 161. for two pupil teachers, and '2Ol. for three pupil teachers. Altogether, the muter would receive about 471. a year from the Privy Council, and in addition to that he proposed to give a salary of 701 , with 101. for house rent, till • house was provided—he had allotted 801. a Tear as a salary, including house rent. Thursday's post brought him the intelligence that Mr. Mos 1. had found him • ' master of the dsscription he required ; he was at present at Macclesfield, and he believed, with the other inducements, he preened coming to a place where his labour would be less, and in the neighbourhood of a rural pomtla tm, than living amidst • manufacturing populatice. lie should write and engage with that muter, and he hoped he would commence his labours on the Ist of March. He had made provision for the present muter by giving his some retiring allowance. (Hear and cheers.) He proposed to have two chums of scholars in the school, the children of the poor and the middle classes ; and in order to prevent en objection that might otherwise be raised egging the children of the middle miming with the poorer class, on account of their untidy appearance or want of cleanliness, he proposed that each child of the poor should be provided with a peeper and suitable dress; and in making the selection of children to be put on the fo undation, care would be taken to promote morality among the peer—the selection to the foundation would he a kind of reward for good behaviour on the part of the parent or child. He did not mean, however, that the child of the drunkard or profligate should be excluded from the school, for it would be a mercy to the child to remove him from such influence, but as a rule the selection would be as a reward of merit either on the part of the parents or child. The whole parish of Tamworth would be included, and farrnota,shopkeepers, and retail dealers of every description, would have the opportunity of giving to their eons what he would venture to call a first-rate educe .. lion in all branches of useful knowledge. They would not be taught the classics, bat they would receive a useful edu. cation—peography, natural phdoe ph history, history, and science in ita different branches would be taught by the muter. lie proposed that this education should be given at a very moderate sum. The education would be equal to that im parted in a boarding school ; yet he proposed, in order that education might be promoted, that W. a year, or 10s. a quarter, to be paid In advance, should only be required tr each pupil, and the sum which might be received from such • source he intended to apply for the benefit of the poor. For instance, should there be 60 paying pupils lin the school, the sum of 1001 received from those pupils would be applied for the further benefit of the poor by en larging the school, and making it accommodate double the present number. The objection entertained to the two Chases of children mixing together was giving way, and by provi 'ing • decent dress for the poor, he did not expect much objection to exist in this case In • parish in Hampshire p. similar school wee established, and no evils had resulted from the two claws minim, with each other, and in order that their eons might have the advantage of the shoed, three families had removed into the parish from en ad joiniag neighbourhood. By the means of this school, a tradesman with five sons would be able to give them the beet education that could be afforded, at a coat of 101. • year only. That wee the plan he proposed to adopt, and he trusted that every encouragement would be given to it. The school, be would further add, would continue in oonnezion with the Established Church, but no objec tion would be made to the reception of the children of those who dissented from the church. In addition to the inspection of the government inspector, be should request, as he should be frequently absent from the neighbourhood, four or five gentlemen, connexion with th e vicar and minister, to Inspect th e school, in order that justice might be dons alike to the paying scholars and the poorer clue. A treasurer would aloe be appointed; and the master having no interact in the payments, he would have no inducement to neglect the education of the poor in order to attend to the richer.—The Rev. Mr. Taylor asked whether, in the event of the school net being filled by the children of Tantworth, there would be any objection to receive the children of the adjoining parishes.—lir R. Peel said that if • school-room was built, and he did not meet with encouragement in Tam worth, he saw no reason why the advantage of the school should not be extended to the neighbourhood, especially as the additional income derived from pupils coming in such meaner would be expended for the benefit of the town of Tamworth. NORFOLK. --- JENNY LIND'S CONCERTS AT Noawica have pro shoed a profit of more than 1,20 W., which sum is, by litr generosity, to be devoted to the charitable institatioos of the eity. vnvwrvnmanvtn P A VILLAGE DESTROYED BY FIRE.—OR Thursday evening, a fire broke out in the picturesque village of Omen end, near /henry, which destrojed nearly forty houses, nearly one half of the place. About half-past seven o'clock, flames were observed hissing from the premises in the occu pation of Mr. Flanders, end were supposed to hive orioinated by a spark falling from the chimney on the thatched roof. A furious storm existing at the time, scattered the flames to the houses adjacent, which, on account of being thatched, ignited rapidly, and in an incredibly short space of time, no fewer than twelve houses were in a blare. The bulk of them being tenanted by poor farming labourers, it was most dis unsung to witness the poor people rueh.ng about in a state of almost distraction ; most of them, the flames extending with such velocity from house to house, were unable to save any portion of their furniture or property. Two engines were brought into play, but were of no avail against the strong wind. The conflagration was not checked till nearly twelve o'clock at night. Every exertion was made by the rector and principal inhabitants to provide temporary shelter for the unfortunate people who had been burnt out of their houses. A subscription has been set on foot for them. The wind amount of property destroyed is not known. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. ALLEGED POISONING.—A further examination of the man Brans, who has been apprehended at Bristol upon a charge of administering poison to his wife with intent to murder, took place at the Council-hove, in that city, on Baturday.—The first whims examined was • girl named Marshall, who had lived u servant with the prisoner for a few weeks previous to his arrest, and alms confirmed the statement of the wife as to the prisoner, on Sunday teat, giving her a dinner of rout pork, covered with a white pow der. She dated that she saw lairs cot off the pork from the joint on the table, and go with it to • cupboard, where be re mained about a minute. He then brought it to the table, carried it to the cupboard again, and on hie return the second time brought with him the rpper-box s prinkled it with pepper, and gave it to his ;rife, who, on tasting it complained ef ita being very salt, and *Mt perCsiving the powder upon it, called the prisoner's attention to it, and sebeequently refuted to eat it. Oa the Sunday sh e saw Evans pram the rebind plat* of meat on the bottom shelf et the cupboard, and, cm Monday morning, when by the wife's request eke went to look fork, she found it on the top shelf.—ldary Ann Winter, the wife of a police-constable;who lived, with her husband and the prisoner and his wife, is the joint charge of the Clifton Old Poor-house, deposed that Mrs. Beans had several times, in confidence, expressed to her suspicen ; that her husband wished to poison her ; but witness endeavonred to dissuade her from such opinions. About two ne.nats be fore she wee confined she mentioned to her her auspreion of some liquor which he brought home in a tin can. She said that she insisted upon his tasting it, as.d that, upon his gip ping it twice or thrice, it made him sick. She only took one sip and it made her sick also. On the 11th of December Mrs. Evans was cm , tined, and at 11 o'clock on the night of the 12th witness kft her quite comfortable and in excellent spirits. At le.otween one and two o'cffick in the morning she was called up by the husband and found her then in a most olanning state, with violent retching and purging. Advised that Mr. Parker, surgeon, should be sent for, and he arrived and gave Lee • draught, which relieved her. He asked to see the contents of the stomach which had been vomited by her, but they could not be shown nim, as they had been thrown away. The prisoner threw them away. Every Sunday (but one) since her confinement Mrs. Evans had been seised with violent sickness, always atter her dinner or her tea. She w.a also dreadfuly sick on Christenaday. She was never sice in the week days. On week days witness usually glee her her food and prepared it for her, but her husband was at home on Send zys, and he did it then. Boors her confinement Mrs. Evens was an healthy, active woman, but tut as she was about to get up she complained of numbness of her hands and feet, and now he has lost the use of her limbs. On the Monday she called wanes, in and chewed her the remains of the dinner. Witntm took them et Mr. Parker to look at, and subsequently gave them to 1. r bus hand to take to Mr. Herspath fir chemical examination. Upon crossexaminstion, the witness sold she had heard Mrs. Evans before bee marriage complain of being subject to bilious attacis, which produced sickness .— George \V inter. police constable 71. and husband of the lest weneee, deposed to having delivered the plate, die, to Mr. He rapath.in the state in which he received it. Ou Wedt oulay apprehended the prisoner at his workshop in St. Phtilipo. Not wishing at first to tell him what it was for, he sml to him, " I want you, for there is something the matter." The prisoner said, What is the matter; is Hannah worse I" Afterwards when at the station, told him that he was to k n one charge of administering poison to his wile. He me..dy said, " That's very funny," and male light of and Sc. fir ol at it. Witness afterwards searched his house and workshop, and at the latter, placed under an obi saddle in a loft a'..vore the ceiling, but wh.ch could be easily reached from t.te pri soner's workbench, he found a picket of sugar of lead. Afterwards told the prisoner he had found it, and he said he knew nothing about it.—Mr. Herapath, the enemist, de posed to having analysed the white powder on the 'nest. which he found to be a corrosive salt of mercury, stolidly sold as white precipitate. It was an irritant poison, though one rarely resorted to for the purposas of secret pots .ring. It was calculated to injure extensively, and if etioticient quantity was given it would destroy file. Sugar of lead had a strong tenth ncy, by La action upon the n , to produce palsy or paralysis. Whit, pre cipitate would be likely to cause retching arid re laxation of the bowels.—Francis Blakewnde, aim loppren lice to Mr. Burge, druggist, of St. Apenstine';- prude, proved that on Saturday, tile 20th inst., the prison. r came to his master's shop and purehued a penny worth of white pre cipitate. lie was asked what he wasted it for, and lie said, " For children's heads." It was given to him in a piper parcel, to which wee affixed a label marked with the word Poison." The quantity supplied to him was one nor/opts. Some further evidence of a less materiel nature was rec..tved, and the prisoner was then remanded till Monday (taut day) for final examination. It win atent bur.
