HORRIBLE TREATMENT OE AN IDIOT. A:i inquest was opened at Dudley South Had- Instshire, on Saturday, on the body of Timeßhy Lewis!, an iiiiheciie 11 years of age, whose death is said to have been occasioned by a long course of cruelty and ill•mage. The dammed lad warn bora about 12 months before hie mother married Lewley (the father). For some time past it has been knows to the neighbour, that the lad was used with great severity, and was not allowed sufficient sustenance. About twu years ago the police authorities heard of the, affair, and removed the child to the union, taking proceed. bags against the wean! for cruelty.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. es to his 000 duct was ever made by the deceased. one occasion be enlisted in the army fur private mesons of hie own. He was afterwards bought off by the detected, who taunted him with what she had done, and so drove him to enlist twice more. Was not present when something was given to the dog, nor did be ham any ceders given to Nerds, relative to the treatment of the anneal. He °mid not swear when he first knew Maguire was going to give evidence. He had been twice at the shop of Mr. Miller, the chemist, but would swear he had not been them before Maguire had given intimation of his intention to eve evidence. While he was in the chop he did not look round it, nor did be say any thing to Mr. Miller about antimony. Maguire lived in the house at Vauxhall-road, bat willing did not know what sort of evidence be was going to give. He (witmes) did mos say, " I have waited foe this ty, it has elms at last ; I will be master now." that the day after Winslow was taken into custody. By this remark he meant that he could reprove the servants for their negligence. He did not in any way refer to the death of Mrs. James (who died the day pre viously), but solely to the servants. Did not use such an expression as " What a change 11l make when I'm mas ter," nor did he ever say, From present appearances it won't be long first." Dr. Cameron was then examined by Mr. Bliss. He said be was • physician, lecturer on medical jurisprsidenee, end physic= to the Liverpool Southern Hospital. The pit soar called on hire in the Southern Hospital on the sth of February, and requested him to visit Mrs. James. He did not know her, but he was acquainted with the whom he had attended at the Southern Hospital. Ifs foam Mrs. James iu bed, suffering front bowel complaint, and she bad else • tumour in the abdomen, which be believed to be cancer. She was very weak old ted. proscribed for her, and then desired t h e m to send for him if she became worse. He was sent for on the 29th March, when the deceased's symptoms were similar to these he noticed when he first visited her. Again he found her labouring under violent purging and vomiting on the on the Bth of May, and this attack was much more severe than those previous. She was much improved, sod in fact convalescent by the 19th of May — that was , as regarded the purging and vomiting. He saw her again on the 25th of May, when she was very ill, and he suspected from the gymkpasSuit some fortign ... tgjelient had been auelrinis mseu was convalescent again by the 6th of June. During his last visits he had prescribed an antidote to antimony. He found that the deceased was again very iII on the Bth and 9th of June, with the same bad symptoms, including extreme prostration. He obtained some of the deceased's urine on the 6th of June, which he gave to Dr. Edwards for ma lysis, and had been made acquainted with the result. On the Bth and 9th he also obtained excretions , and in consequence of the result of their analys is, he communicated with the police. He went with two police officers to the house of the deceased on Sunday, the 10th June. In the room of Mn. James he saw some bottles of medicine and cups, and one of the cure contained ego . The cups were given to Mr. Kehl., of the detective police. Witnem explained that Mrs. James was suffering from the effects of poison, and that it was necessary to have her removed to the hospital for her safety. At this time be also received some excretions, which Mrs. Cafferata bad by his order. He also gave orders that Mrs. ram e Te rd excretions should be preserved. The deceased was very ill for some days after her admission to the hospitaL She afterwards improved somewhat, till the 22nd, when she was seized with dangerous symptoms, end died on the 24th. I misted at the post esorient examination. The body was greatly emaciated. The membrane of the gullet pre sented • yellow appearance. At the entrance of the stomach there were two patches of false membrane, but can form no opiniou bow these were caused. The stomach was distended and contained 16 ounces of fluid. There were two small ulcers communicating with the cancerous to These niters might hart been caused by the ad ministration of antimony or by disease. The bowels had been perforated and their contents discharged into the cavity of the abdomen, which was the immediate cause of death. I think in • case like that of Mrs. James, look ing at all the symptoms and at the discovery of the anti monial deposits, it would have accelerated death. My opinion is that antimony was administered within a very short time of her admission to the hospital, some time between the 9th and 10th of June. Ido not think antimony was given to her after her admission to the hospital. The vomiting of Mn. James was not of the kind which the ulcers would produce, but was of a kind which might be produced by some irritating substance such as antimony. In cromexamination by Mr. Seymour, the witness said that hot food in a case like that of Mrs. James might pro duce vomiting, and always occasioned more or less pain with ulceration of the stomach. There was no redness of the mall intestines. Vomiting was one of the principal symp toms of ulceration of the stomach,ae by tending to starve and weaken the patient, it produced emaciation and prostration. Purging was not • usual symptom of au ulcerated stomach, but oceurred with cancer in the bowels. Witness agreed with Dr. Richards as to there being no case in which slow antimonial poisoning was accompanied with dysenteric evacuations. The alternation of constipation and purging was one of the known symptoms d satimonial poisoning. The intermitting condition of the patient was one of the reasons which led to the conclusion that she was the subject of poison. Witness agreed with the opinion that in malignant diseases of the stomach the symptoms remitted in a remarkable manner, so as to excite a hope that recovery would take place ; but the truce was not very long ; frightful disonpinisation was at length produced, and inevitable death at last. Softening of the brain had been noticed in some cases of antimonial poisoning, but it was not a frequent or even ordinary indication. Antimonial poisoning sometimes produced enlargement of the liver, but it did net in this cam Aphthoue ulcerations in the glands of the small intestines are also symptoms of the presence of antimony ; there were none in this wee. Eminent writers on Platen& medics and pa thology assert that some persons can tolerate the presence of poison in their bodies without it having any effect upon them. It is also an accepted truth among eminent scientific writers, that there are conditions and circumstances of the human frame in which antimony may not possess poisonous results. On being reexamined, witness said—This toleration of poison is oommou rn certain cases of inflammation, but it is my opinion that in this case the opposite to toleration has been established. Aphthous ulcerations are not often observed in cases of pawn lug by antimony. The &hoopoe of these symptoms, combined with the state of the liver and brain, in no way affects my opinion as to the poisoning in this case. There were peculiar symptoms in the vomiting by Mrs. James, which innuce me to believe that it was not caused by the ulcers. Antimony would aggravate the ulcerous disease, and enfeeble the bodily powers well as affect the appetite. One of the effects of slow poisoning by repeated doses is that the stomach is prevented from receiving fresh nourishment. _ . NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—LrruirooL, Auo. 20. Osomr Own. --(Bohn Kr. Bina llarda.) TO ANTIXOWT rotearnres AT LIVIIIPOOL. TheasssWitiots was this morning designed for the wilful murder of Ann James, the repenter of an endsg and lodging home in Vauxhall-road, Lnespool, with whom the prisoner lived as he. 1 ft. Bliss, Q.C. (with whom manager, were Mr. Alpinell and Mr. Temple) appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Dighy Sep mom, Q.C., Yr. Fenwick, and Mr. Little for the defence. In opening the case Mr. Slim said that the pri soner was charged with the crime of wilful murder by means of antimony, which it was alleged he had administered in small and repeated dome. The deceased, Ann James, died on the 24th of June last, in the Liverpool Southern Hospital. She had been attended by Dr. Cameron at intervals from the preceding January. From the 6th or 7th of Jane until her death her eerretions ware preserved, and with one or two omissions were fs.und on analysis to contain antimony, as slid also the viscera and intestines, when examined after death. She died, however, of canter of the mecum, a natural dime's, , which had perforated the bowels and caused bar inner date death, and the iirisoner was accused of agg . rers ti l a thg ntim eaea" , and by eo the acce sd le n Zti s ng f cl e e n g. She had been attacke d o before with repeated vomiting' and prgings, the former coming on suddenly after taking food, end particularly sago, and then ceaang suddenly, aod though she recovered she manifested after each attacks ex treme nervous prostration and muscular debility, which, with other symptoms, induced the medical men to believe that such administrations of antimony had hastened her death. If the jury were of opinion that the prisoner was the person who administered this antimony, and that he did it wilfully with the intentionof taking life or doing grievous bodily harm, it would be their duty to find him guilty of murder. Kr. Aspinall then called the first witness, Jane Cafferata, niece of the deceased, Mrs. James. She said she was the wife of Henry Calmat& who raided in Manchester, where he worked as an .oepaumidaliatapoet....lll:ll4llBl l 4Al9 pool, which was also a registered l odg ing -house. Her aunt, who came from Plymouth, had resided in Liverpool since the year 1842. Witmess's mother and father, Elizabeth and Henry Townshend, and her brothers (Martin, William, and Samuel), and witness also, came from Plymouth at the same time. The whole fami fi rst set up in the grocery business. but it was not successf ul; and the deceased, Mrs. James, opened an eating-house in Vauxhall-road, which was kept open during the day only. Mrs. James kept a general con trol over this shop. Witnees's brother Martin acted es shoman. Witness's mother made confectionery for the trade, and the other brothers studied music. Window first came to the shop as a castoener in 1854, and then he took lodgings with them, and about this time they tegiste the house as a lodging-house, and made up fourteen beds. The house also was at this time kept open both night and day. Waned,* stayed at Vauxhall-road till June, 1855, when she and her husband removed to Man chester. At this time, and previous to it, Winslow and Mrs. James were on good terms. Witness paid frequent visits to Liverpool alter her removal to Manchester, and in Fe bruary last, while in Manchester , she received a letter from Winslow, in which he said, " Ursa want to tee ) M I M IIt alive, come immediately." Witness west to • and found her aunt very ill. Her aunt said to hil;7 7 Mi very ill and never expected to see you again." She stayed with her aunt about a fortnight, and as she got better some what, witness returned home. Mts. James usually kept her money in the bedroom, and those who required change, got it from the deceased in her bedroom. Witness's father was an invalid in February, and is so still. His name is Henry Townshend. In March witness was again requested to go to Liverpool to see the deceased, but being ill herself she did not do so. Winslow again wrote to her in April, saying that her aunt was very ill, and she went down to Liverpool in May. She found her aunt much worse than when she last saw her. Her sufferings were very severe, and she some, times vomited very violently. Martin To;rashend did not come to Liverpool till the 31st of May. No doctor was at tending the deceased when witness first visited her in May, but at the request of the deceased Dr. Cameron was ca ll ed in on the Bth of May. Her aunt began to improve after Dr. Cameron's visite. She afterwards got bad again, and Dr. Cameron was then sent for. She appeared to rally, and all that Dr. Cameron ordered was carefully attended to. Wit ness, at Dr. Cameron's request, preserved all her aunt's excretions, urine, and vomit. On the night of Saturday, the 9th of June, wituess got some sago from a kap in the shop , and peppered some for the d who 'p uma refreshed by it, and slept after it for several ap peared Witness took her also some tea and an egg about three o'clock in the morning, but as the deceased did not require them then, they were left at the bedside, within her reach. Witness then went to bed and slept soundly till about eleven o'clock in the morning of Saturday the 10th of June. When witness awoke she noticed two cups alongside the bed, which had been brought there dur ing the night. The pri over was often in the habit of tak ing things into the deceased's bedroom during the night. The cup witness left in the chair by the bedside had been taken away. The other cups remained on the table till Dr. Oitneron and the police officers arrived. Witness never touched them. Thu morning Dr. Cameron said he thought it would be advisable to remove Mrs. James to the hospital. Mrs. James was in consequence dressed, and takes by Dr. Cameron and witness to the Southern line- Witness has since lived at VauxhalloroneL On the Wednesday before Mrs. James died, witness had some words with the primmer, who ordered her to leave the house. Window said he did not like the cool way in which she (witness) took things. He also said that her husband, Mr. Waste, carried white powders in his pocket ; that eke (wiles's) was quite a second Palmer. Ha hasiand, who was in Liverpool at that time, is troubled with indigestion, and to relieve the complaint he =Tile carbonate of soda in his pocket. Another dispute took place next day, and the prisoner said she should not go to the hospital as she (witness) intended. Afterwards he said she might The if she had to take any clean linen to the de ceased.prisoner talked to her aunt several times about making vrill, and told her that she would not shorten her life by doing so. The prisoner afterwards said that a Liwyer was coming to make a will. A gentleman did come for that purpose, but no one was in the room with the deceased while he was there. Witness did not know that her cunt had any property, and she (witness) never had any antimony in her possession. la cross-examination, the witness said that at the time her brother Martin enlisted in the Scots Greys he assisted her aunt in the business. Her aunt bought his disc harge from the army, till she at last sand she would pay smart money" no longer. Mediu only baked rolls aM pies for the shop. He did not prepare any other food. My husband also took laudanum as well as carbonate of soda. Once my husband said that laudanum was good for the bowel com plaint, but witness did not remember him saying that it wee good for her want. This was not said when her aunt was taking either food or medicine. Witness did not re collect if the purging and vomiting took place immediately after the deceased took food or some time afterwards. , Winslow was also kind and attentive to the deceased, and he appeared in the deepest distress when she became worse. He was anxious about the attendance of the doctor, and the deceased told her that the soner suggested the calling in of Dr. Cameron. The prisoner said, " Dr. Whittle had let two slip, and he would got Dr. Cameron for her aunt." Sometimes the pri soner would remove things he brought into the room, and sometimes he would leave them, and his conduct did not excite any suspicion by eagerness to remove things. When witness prepared the sago of which deceased partook, on the 9th of Jane, she took the cup containing the sago and washed it in the kitchen. She (witness) generally washed those cups, as they were great favourites of her aunt's. She was not aware as to what property her aunt possessed, but her aunt once said she could live in the country. Witness never suggested that she should take a cottage near Man chester, and live comfortabl The deceased o ff ered the badness to her, but she wou ld not take it, as it wars " too rough" for her. The deceased then said. Winslow &aid have it, but he would have to pay for it the same as any other person. Was not aware that she said that Wins low, as he had made the business, was the best entitled to it. Was not aware that he made the business, but knew that be made the night business. Witness was in her aunt's room when Mr. Lloyd came to snake the will, and her aunt told her to leave the room, and she did so. She was aware that there was money in the bones, and recollected a sum of 401. being in the house, of which the 351. found by the police was a portion. Heard the de ceased say that it was brought from the bask by th e pri soner. The money received in the shop during the illness of the dammed was given to her (deceased) either by wit ness or prisoner. Witness's husband never visited the de ceased at the hospital, and Martin Townshend only visited her on the night of the day she was admitted. Was aware that the deceased was removed to the hospital because it was suspected that she had been poisoned, but was not aware that she was in danger. Thought Dr. Cameras cow sidered it a mistake of the druggist, as she (witness) did Dot think any one would have Leen base enough to administer poison. Knew the young man Maguire, who still raided at the home io Vauxhall-reed, and who daily attended the examinations at the police court. Witness was a mother before her marriage, but refused to tell who was the father of the child. To the Judge—l have never attended a human patient poisoned by antimony. Persons suffering from sickness after food are relieved by vomiting ; but in the case of lin. James there was considerable retching after the food was thrown off the stomach. The next witness, Wm. Horn, inspector of the Liverpool detective police, was examined 17 . Mr. Aspinail—He said he accompanied Dr. DllllllllOll to M o rs. James's house on the 10th of June, in company with Inspector Keboe. In the deceased's room they found two cups on • table ; one contained sago. He also took eight medicine bottles. He removed all these articles to the police court anti sealed them up. They were then locked up by the storekeeper. He received beck from the storekeeper two cups and one bottle, and pve them to Dr. FAlwarda. He saw the pri. Boner that day and told him to meet him (witness) the next day (Thursday). Winslow case to the police office on Thursday, and said he had been told that antimony had been administered to Mrs. James, and in answer to witness he said he suspected Henry Cafferata. He went to the police office again on the following Saturday and made a lengthy statement, which was taken down in writing. (This statement, in part a biography of the primmer, was very lengthy, but it contained few important facts, be yond the admission that he (the prisoner) gave Mrs. James some sago, a portion of which was left in • cup, on the morning of the 10th of June.) Witness continued—He took the prisoner into custody, as Mrs. James beaune worse, u ho was suspected of havbig administered sago containing antimony to the deceased. The prisoner said to witness, I made her sago at five o'clock that morning, but I put no antimony in it. I know the use of antimony, but I have not need any for eighteen years." Witness afterwards diseovered in deceased's house various property belonging to the deceased, but in no conceivable place could he find any antimony. Dr. Cameron having been recalled, identified his prescrip tions, and said he pee tannic acid as an antidote to the antimony. The court them rase, and adjourned to nine o'clock on Tuesday (to-day).

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Re-examined—Except when visiting Liverpool, witness always lived with her husband. When deceased spoke of going into the country she thought that she merely alluded to a temporary visit for the benefit of her health. To the Judge—Dr. Cameron told her about Whitsuntide that her aunt s illness was caused by a tumour.

TICE POLICE COURTI3. --- ----- MANSION-HOUSE. Dr. Daniel de Is Cheroie Gourley, the physician, was brought before the Lord Mayor, for final exami nation, under the Fraudulent Trustees Act, charged with having appropriated a large sum of money over whirr he had control as trustee and executor of a deceased gentle man, named Rigg, to his own use. Mr. Humphreys attended on behalf of the prisoner. The evidence of the witnesses, which has already been Lusz ti as read over to them by Mr. Oke , the clerk, and • the wife of the deceased gentleman, in wl .ose Interest prisoner should have acted as trustee and exe cutor, misapprehension of thedeeie to eru et e p ia Lii ce n i, w h hat e wahefobelimicevrledy given. b e a misa She said that she wished it to be understood that she still believed that at the time the prisoner sold out the money he intended to have applied it in some other way for her benefit. The Lord Mayor then gave the prisoner the usual formal caution, that what be said might be used in evidence against him, and inquired whether he wished to make any answer to the charge' The prisoner, addressing his lordship, said—l have this answer to make to it, that I am wholly and entirely igno rant of any fraud or any intention to defraud, and that the prosecution has been entered upon from malicious motives. I intended to have entered upon these motives to-day, but I think it will be better to reserve them for a future occa sion. If I Lad been aware that any order bad been issued by the Court of Chancery for the payment of this money, I should have attended to it, but no order was ever served upon me. 1 find it difficult to refrain from saying more on the subject, but I decline to do so at the present moment. The Lord Mayor then directed that the prisoner should stand committed to Newgate to take his trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. MARLBOROUGH-STRUT. William Ben_ Wt. of 35. Vere-street, Lincoln's.inn t Moon.c.rescent, lalington, omnibus Conductor, badge 2,335. The complainant, whose face from the corner of the eye over the right temple was covered with plaster, said he was the conductor of a Paddington omnibus, and on his stand at half-past ll over night—the Sunday evening fare after 8 is 6d.—at Tottenham-court-road end the defendant and his wife hailed him, the former getting on the roof, and the latter inside, he telling defendant the fare. On alighting at Chapel-street , Edgware-road., defendant tendered Ga for the two, which he refused to accept, and defendant struck him over the back of his head with his umbrella, and be fore be could recover himself his wife struck him over the eye with be a r Th cla which she took o ff her f for the pur. pose, and esca ped. Assistance from an inside passenger was rendered, after a tuuel with the defendant be was secured and given in charge. Defendant said he told the complainant be had no more money with him, upon which he laid hold of him, and de manding his hat or his coat for the fare, gave him, ou his refusal to comply, the first blow. This was denied by the complainant, and by Mr. John Win. Hoare, of Devonshire-street, Queen square, the inside passenger hefoie referred to, who fully confirmed the statement of the complainant, who said the woman very deliberately took off her clog and struck the complainant on the temple violently. AU the conductor wanted was to know who the defendant was and where he lived. Complainant said the wound bled very much, and he was unable to continue on duty. Mr. Besdou said defendant might consider himself for tunate he did not send him at once to prison with hard labour. He should fine him 46e., or one month in default. Complainant applied for the difference of fare. Mr. Beetlog informed defendant if he did not directly pay it, he should issue a summons against the wife, and the con sequences must be abided by. THE SUSPECTED DEATH PROM POISONING IN MARYLEBONE Yesterday morning Mr. Wakley, the coroner for West Middlesex, resumed an inquiry, in the board-room of the Marylebone Workhouse, into the circumstances attend ing the death of John Co nway, aged 45, a member of a burial club, whose life is su pp osed to have been sacrificed by the administration of poison. The case was reported in our columns a few days since. It will be remembered that the deceased was a boot and shoe maker, residing at No. 3, Maryleboneeourt, and being a member of a burial club, his wife or nominee was en titled at his death to a sum of 8/. He was a very sober man, and was taken 11l on Thur.day, the 9th inst. when after a period of 24 hours' suffering, be died.' Dr. elllthe district visiting surgeon, secondarily to another m gentleman, attended three hours before death. He subsequently made a post mortem examination, and found death to have resulted from peritonitis, or inflammation of the bowels. There were, however, such suspicious appearances, that a pathological examination was not sufficient to allay the suspicion that death had been produced by foul means. The inquiry was, therefore , ad journed, in order that a chemical analysation of the stomachi and its contents should be made. _ _ _ The court havin g been opened with the usual formula, Mr. William Clapp was examined as to his chemical exa mination of the contents of the stomach of the deceased. He said, " When 1 saw the deceased on Friday evening of the 10th instant he was perfectly 'sensible, and was sitting up In bed. From his statement and those about him I could find nothing that would lead me to the cause of his malady. He said he had been out during the day, and had not eaten or drank anything beyond what be was accustomed to do. He was suffering from great tension of the abdomen. I wished him to be brought to the workhouse on account of the number of people being in the room of the dying man. I went home for the purpose of making out the order for his admission, and the son, in the meantime, had been to my house for the order, but I had not then arrived home. I made the order subsequently, and was rarptised to find him dead. The pod mortars examination proved acute peritonitis, or inflammation of the membrane, covering the intestines with dark patches. I obtained the aasistance of Dr. Thompeon, of our own board, and lecturer at St. Thomas's HospitaL I handed him over the stomach, and on examination be found no traces of poison. As he was not summoned upon the inquest he furnished me with a note to that effect. _ The Coroner—Are 3101 satisfied now that death was from natural onuses! . . _ -- iir.Cl;ppLi am quite satisfied. The stomach was tested for arsenic, strychnia, lead, and other poisons, but no traces could be found. After bearing some other evidence, The jury consulted, after which they returned a verdict " That death wan produced by acute peritonitis, or inflam mation of the stomach and intestines, but how that inflam mation was caused there was no evidence to show." The Coroner said that was a very proper verdict, for who could tell but poison might have been taken during the day, and then thrown off ; for, certain it was, there were still suspicious circumstances attending the case. Mr. CLipp had done perfectly right in availing himself of the assistance of Dr. Thompson. Notwithstanding the chemical test of that gentleman, no poison was found, and the cause of the acute peritonitis must therefore rest in obscurity. The verdict was then recorded. REVIVAL 07 CAMBERWELL Fars.—Yesterday morning, at • very early hour, the inhabitants of that part of the Camberwell New-road near the Lambeth County Court were aroused by hearing loud and continuous ham mering, mingled with shouting and other sounds, so unusual to the respectable inhabitants of this locality. It was then discovered that durinf l te previous night and yesterday morning • fair of very dimensions had been established in an extensive field at t e rear of Camberwell Chapel, and abutting on the Brunswick-road, and therein had been established upwards of 200 booths, including • large eques trian teat, a theatre, an exhibition of moving models, refreshment booths, rile galleries, &c., lcc. It would appear that on Sunda . evening two or three caravans were noticed p towards the field ; but not the slightest ides wee entertained that • fair, and one of the largest that has ever been oda hlished on the Survey side of the water, was about to be held. As soon as this became known, large bodies of police were placed on duty, and several of the in habitants Lid a complaint for the removal of the booths, he., but they were extremely surprised and disappointed on being informed that this could not be done without giving the parties seven days' notice ; and, of course, by that time ' the fair would be over and the whole of the ground cleared, so that they will be obliged to put up with it for three days, although the extreme end of the fair comas within • few feet of the dwarf garden walls. Notwithstanding the somewhat doubtful state of the weather the fair was duly opened with the usual accompaniment of gongs, drums, brass bands, and other deafening noises. Before twelve o'clock the roadway leading to the ground wore a very lively appearance, hundrods of the lovers of such sight, wending their way thereto, and seeming to fancy that • triumph bad been gained by the revival of Camberwell Fair, which it was thought was forever extinct EXECLITION AT V ARWICIL —Yesterday morning Francis Price, convicted at the recent Warwickshire assizes of the murder of • young woman whom he had courted, the servant at • small public house in Birmingham, paid the penalty of his crime on a scaffold in front of the county gaol. There was • large concourse of persona to witness the execu tion, but the culprit went through the scene with much nerve and &meets. He delivered • speech as be stood by the gallows, admitting his guilt, and expressive of rtigret that be had beep induced to plead "not guilty" at the time. Since his sentence the culprit had directed his mind to the consolations of religious instruction, and • moment after has short address was finished, the bolt was drawn, and lie died without a struggle. The crowd disappeared peaceably soon afterwards. - - - --- MILTIWPOLITA X FREE HOSPITAL, DETONSIIIKS SQUARE, CITT. —The aggregate number of patients relieved during the week ending August ld was—if edict', 1,143 ; surgical, 499 ; total, 1,611; of which 858 were sew MM.

Yesterday afternoon, at one o'clock, Mr. John • H nays, the Coroner for the Eastern Distrait of met a highly respectable jury, amembled at the Railway Tarns, Orr-read. 1111e-esd, to loveseigate the death of the decried lady_ whom seine was given as Mary & in ky a ps TO y e ars, of No. 9, Greve-raid, Stepney. Mr. Rees, eobettar, _wee present The room woe densely crowded long before the inquiry commenced, sad a number of the guardians, trustees, and friends of the dressed were present to hear the evidence, and the utmost interest was manifested by all in attend ance. The jury having been more accompanied the coroner to the here to new the body. They afterwards went over th;nisse to examine them. the coroner sad jury were absent, it wee ascer tained bons Mr. Thornton and Mr. Tanner, the two dere. tire ufficen who have inquired thoroughly, and with great intelligence, into the case, that they had found money to the extent of 4dl. in the house, 321. in gold and Hi/. 2a in silver. The police expect a still larger amount of money has been secreted. Mr. John Faith, of park-house, Bow road , was the first witness examined. He said thedeceseed was his stepmother. The property left by her husband would go to the daughters , of the late 11r. Rowley by his first wife. He did not know whether the deceased had any other relations. Catherine Wears, of No. 3, Jamaica-place, rid she knew the de‘wased. She saw her between half.past four and five o'clock last Monday evening. The decreed called urn her for her weekly rent. Bhe was then in good health. When the deceased called she asked in the usual course far her money. Her husband was at home at the time. He worked for any one who would employ him. He was a labourer. Mr. Faith, in answer to the Coroner, said that the de ceased kept no servants, but a person who bad been con nected with the family twenty years used to go end see her. He did not know where she was. Mr. Walter Thomas Emm said he lived at Emaley brick yard and was a shoemaker. He collected rents for Mn. Emsisy. The last time Le saw her alive was Let Monday afternoon, at Baradepstreet, Lamb's.fields, Bethnal-green. She had just collected her last rent. from w lliiz se ale a y.street. AIM SO ;tat - Twit house for them. e sent his son for them on Tuesday, in the morning sad at night. He went him self on Wednesday, twice, his wife accompanying him. He went again on Thursday, but still finding that she was oat, he sent his daughter at six o'clock on Fridx e mornum to see whether anything ivas the matter, but returned without obtaining admission to the house. He then told his wife to go the house, and not let anybody iii, as he intended to go to Mr. H, Rose, Mrs. Emsley's legal adviser. Mr. Rose met him afterwards at Mrs. Fans ley's house, sad an entry was snide by a police-minstable who had been called. By a Jurymen—He did not call a policeman on the re vious night. He thought the deceased had received 25/. or . 261. on that day. That was about the average amount. She was never in the habit of showing large sums of money, and he did not believe that she ever kept large sums of money the bowie. Several questions were put to the witness as to his motive for sending his daughter to Yrs. Emsley's at six o'clock in the morning, in reply to which he said he had a suspicion that she aught be ill. The questions generally were quite irrelevant, sad the coroner more than once checked the jurymen who put them. Edward Dill on , police-constable 19 K, depo s ed that from instructions he had received he inspected the premises, sad opened the home so as to make an entry. He went up stairs with Yr. Faith and Mr. Roes, and after searching the rooms they proceeded upstairs to the top floor, and in the front room be eaw the deceased lying on the door with her head to the partition. He found a mourning ring and three halfpence, but no other money. There was a bed and bed stead in the room, but it hail no appearance of being slept on. On the bed were a number of pieces of paper hang ing and under the arms of the deceased were two or th re e pieces of the paper. He observed blood on the partition and sear where the deceased lay. The body was not touched, by the direction of Yr. Rose, until the surgeon had seen her. She was armed at the time. except one clipper. He saw also blood marks on the doorpost. The whole of the rooms were open, and neither the freed nor back doors were locked. In his opinion the deceased's head struck the doorpost, as the blood upon the panels could not have been caused if the blow had been given while she was on the floor. The blow was, therefore, peen while she was standing, by her falling against the dour poet Dr. Lawrence Gill, of Bow-reed, woo called on Friday last between 1 and 2 o'clock. In the front room on the top floor he fated the deceased, and be believed she had been disclaims time. The deoeseed was lying at fall length on the Soar ; a portion of her gown and petticoat was drawn up over the head. A portion was screwed up as if blood W been wiped upon it. On renew* the ewe and pet ticoat be found that she was lying with two pimes of per at tie hack of her lead—one was open and she was with bier face downward. She had all As clothes on except one slipper (tie left one), but her heed was uncovered, harts( no cap one. He foiled the hair of her head matted with Need, and the back of her heed hanging in shreds, the bone prearoding. He then turned her on her beck. The face was green and swollen, showing decomposition had eat is There was en satire lose of countenance, her head was diving the leg of a table. He found blood on the door posts and on the panel, and also on the paper which laid over her head: The blood on the wall was bright and shiny, quite different to the blood decomposed on the door. The next day a cep was found with an ornament torn off, and in the cap was a circular hole. He had since made a poet nonce examina tion of the body, and in the head he founds 'operated wound ,nie and a half inch long on the left aide, and a contused wound, half an inch long, on the right side • also a wound, an inch and a half long, over the left eyebrow. The heed was full of extravaaatel blood ; the vessels on the left side were much comiested ; the extravaaation of blood extended over the temporal bone, which was fractured, as also the occipital bone, which was broken through and forced into the brain. In removing the skull op it was ahead blood lege. The cheat, the abdomen, and the body generally was healthy. The wound on the back of the head lie believed to have been ceased by a heavy circular blunt instrument, and could not have resulted from a fall spinet the door post. The came of death was the laceration of the brain. Inspector Kerrie:o laid, from information hereceived, he went to the home of the deceased, and was admitted by Sergeant Dillon. He went upstairs, and saw the d lying on the floor ; be examined the house and found the shutters closed but unfarteued ; the window was up a few Mates. He searched the garden, and also the gardens of the adjoining premises, but could find no footmarks what ever. He searched the deceased, and only found a knife, but no money. On hie vise down stain, on the Ara deer, he found a piece of paper with marks of blood upon it, and also marks of blood on the lower stairs, as of a foot mark, which be had carefully covered over with oil skin. He bad canoed every part of the premises to be searched, and had caused the privy to be emptied, but could find no instru meat which would have caused the wounds. He had taken peat care of the piece of paper he found with blood on it down stairs. A juror asked how he supposed the parties had enteral ! The witness declined to answer. The Coroner said it was better not to aak any questions at present. They had quite enough before them to show that the dammed had died from violence to justify their 9ourning the inquiry. the jury •cquiesoea, and the inquiry was adjourned to Monday neat. Mr. Sergeant Thornton and Mr. Tanner have the govern ment charge of the use as detective., and the house is still being searched. The polio' are most active in their research ; the coroner himself had • private interview with Mr. Thornton and Mr. Tanner after the inquest adjourned. SPORTING INTRLLIGENCE. TATTKREIALLI3--/elomuy.

AGEICULTVRAL Pnosracra—Tbe past week, true to the character of this extraordinary season, has done little towards the ripening of the corn, being mostly humid, with occasionally heavy showers. Talavera wheat has been ex• bibited in small parcels for a amok past, and appears of fair quality, though damp. But the bulk of the crop, never very promising, suffers continually from the want of sunshine, the sodden state of the ground, and the heavy rains, while the long delay in the process of ripen ing makes the depredations of birds a serious item in the general account. A great deal, we are sorry to say, has rotted at the root before the grain was mature ; so even with a set-in of dry weather, the sample must be much deteriorated, as well as the bulk seriously dimi nished. Without wishing to be alarmists, we cannot be lieve that the beet pieces of wheat this year will come up to en average yield. The news, therefore, of plenty in Ame rica and Southern Russia, is of no slight importance. Much hay is well nigh ruined, while a good deal is yet out, and the sad accounts of disease among the late potatoes daily gather strength. Still this evil has also its counterpoise in a prospective abundance of Indian torn. Barley varies much. Oats are less favourably reported ; but beans and peas seem vet likely to yield fairly though late. The country mallets, being for the most part poorly supplied with wheat, have shown improved prices, especially where the weather has been bad ; but some of the larger towns, under the influence of liberal foreign supplies, have little altered. Nevertheless the tone of the foreign trade has been universally firm. The same kind of weather appears to have ruled in the north of France and Northern Europe, and prices have therefore moderately advanced. America, too, encouraged by European advises, shows some reaction from the late de cline, with a good export demand.—Mark-lane Erttsa. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERV.--lnforms tion was received by the police authorities on Saturday that a daring burglary bad been committed upon the premises of Mr. Jacobson, watchmaker and jeweller, No. 43, West bourne-grove, Bayswater, by which he was robbed of about 500/. worth of property. This doubtless would not have been the full extent of the loss had not the burglars been alarmed, it is supposed, by the accidental but opportune striking of an alarum Dutch clock, a necklace, valued at 5g., and other portions of the stock having been found lying on the counter for removal. The thieves effected an entrance from an adjoining unoccupied hones by remov ing a number of bricks out of the party wall, and then cut ' ting a square hole stdficiently large to admit the body of a man through a nine-inch wall that separated the shop from the private ball. It is believed that the police have ob tained a clue as to the whereabouts of the property stolen. [Advertisement.}--Hentow•Vie PILLS AND Orb-P -rager —Aridity, Heart aria Flatulency.
