Is the height of the excursionist sesaon we may naturally expect a few of those unavoidable acci dents incident to the travelling of large multi tudes, by all kinds of conveyances, over every variety of ground. But this year the number of serious and fatal accidents which can ecareely be called unavoidable is remarkably large. Daring the last five weeks fifteen excursionists have lost their lives from preventible causes—ten on our railways at home, and five amidst the glaciers of the Alps. It may perhaps at first sight appear fanciful to link together events so dissimilar. But iu reality the connexion between these mournful iwcurzences is by no means arbitrary. They both spring from substantially the same causes, and both illustrate a common and growing evil which cannot be too earnestly deprecated. This is the tendency to diminish or neglect the usual safe guards of travelling in proportion as the number of travellers increases. Common prudence and a due regard to human life would naturally dictate a directly opposite course. Surely, the customary precautions against danger ought rather to be increased than diminished when a greater number are exposed to theta. Unhappily, however, this is not the case. Here, as elsewhere, familiarity breeds contempt, and the danger which numbers have escaped is, from that very circum stance, lightly thought of. This feeling is, of course, utterly groundless, the ordinary causes of danger remaining precisely the same, however great the number who have safely encountered them may be. The mere feeling of indifference and security would, however, be comparatively harmless if it led to no injurious results. But it tends directly to produce the most fatal practical errors—a neglect of common precautions, a thought less indifference to the lessons of experience, and a blind comidence in the lucky chapter of accidents. The excursion trains so common at this season of the year sufficiently illustrate this. It is notori ous that these trains, carrying such multi tudes of passengers, are equipped and officered far less efficiently than ordinary trains. Now, as the facilities for travelling are rapidly on the increase the number of pas sengers is of course largely augmented every year. Itbecomes the more necessary and important there fore that public attention should be fixed on the conditions under which alone these facilities should be extended. Lot the means of health and recreation which travelling affords be multiplied and diffused as widely as possible, within proper limits. But a due regard for human safety is the absolute condition which ought to be rigidly enforced. Now the first and most obvious rule of safety ia, that effectual precautions be taken against all the more known and familiar forms of danger. This is so obvious that but for its constant neglect it would be needless to state it formally. The fatal accidents we have referred to Illustrate the violation of this simple rule. Take the Helm shore catastrophe, for instance. The danger of stopping a heavy train on an incline without an ample supply of break-power was perfectly well known. It had produced numberless accidents before, some of a very serious and fatal kind. It could easily have been guarded against, and the calamitous accident have been prevented by the simplest precautions. Yet these precautions were not taken. The excursion train was trusted as usual to the chapter of accidents, and ten lives were sacrificed for want of an adequate provision against a well-known danger. Thu same may be said of the recent accidents on the Alps, which have ended in such a mournful loss of life. It is no exaggeration to say that in each case they resulted from a neglect of the single rule to provide effectually against well-known and preventible dangers. Sonie dangers, of course, can neither be foreseen nor avoided. Rut there are others perfectly familiar, which tuay in most ones be prevented by proper precautions. Now, tbs most serious, as well as the most familiar, dangers in Alpine travelling are the very two which these accidents respectively illustrate—falling through the snow crust into a means, and slipping down a glissade. Poor Mr. Wasson fell into a crevasse, and the unfortunate travellers on the Col du (:rant missed their footing on the snow slopes, and rolled helplessly into the abyss below. These well-known dangers may in general be effectually provided event. The proper pre caution a to he found in a sufficient number of guides. No point in Alpine traveling seems to be more clearly established than this a proper escort of guides is the first oondition of safety. There is, indeed, some difference as to the number which ought to accompany each tra veller. Ten years ago four was, we believe, the number fixed by the local authorities. More re candy however three have generally been denied sufficient, and sometimes even two. But all ex permuted Alpine travellers agree that in an ascent of any danger each tourist ought at least to have two guides. But the unfortunate travellers on the Cul du t:i;arit had only ono guide each, while Mr. Warios and his friend Mr. I►. Coca had only one between them. The natural result of this insufficient provision is that when an acci dent happens the guide in almost powerless to ar rest its progress or avert the fatal result. The main business of the guide is not so much to lead travellers through the snow wastes as to protect them from the more serious and hidden dangers of falling through the snow-crust or slipping down the ravines. To do this, however, effectually requires great strength as well ea skill. While one man would be 'efficient as a mere guide, a number are absolutely neceasary to form an effective guard against these special dangers. In a word there, mast be guides enough to sustain the united weight of the travellers' should they unfortunately lose their foot*. And it seems obvious that this carol* be done hp • less number than that of two guides to eatb traveller. A smaller propo►tion would be help• lees in cue of a serious accident ; and, if connected by a rope in the usual way, the guides instead of being able to save the tourists, would almost inevi ' tably perish with them. This seems to be the fair ' explanation of what naturally excited a great deal of criticism at the time—the fact that the guides on the Col du °dant had the rope twisted round their hand, instead of fastened round the waist. In the more recent accident the case was even worse, there being only one guide, while to be of any service at all the number ought to have been at least four. There was no rope attached either to the travellers or the guide, and had there been it would probably have proved of little or no use. In this case, however, the res ponibilityseems to have rested mainly on the guide, as he explicitly assured the travellers before start ing that there was not the slightest danger in the peas, and thus prevented their seeking further help. But this is no doubt one of the unfortu nate results produced by the number of tourists who annually attempt this difficult and dangerous kind of adventure. Many are unwilling to engage the proper number of guides, and if they escape with impunity other travellers are tempted to follow their example, and guides will of course be found to meet the wishes and requirements of the travellers. But in undertaking journeys of this kind the guides lose very much their old sense of corporate responsibility, and strive individually to do the best they can for themselves. We have no doubt helped to produce this state of things, but it is on all grounds a lamentable one, to be corrected with out delay. It ought to be laid down as a first rule in Alpine travelling that no tourist should start on the more dangerous 'scents without at least two guides, and that guides and travellers should be connected together by the rope round the waist, so as mutually to support each other and leave their bands free. gbt Court.

(*ant on cows oolassrosnsir.) PARIS, TUZBDAT Brom I learn from a source which I think reliable that the Austrian protest against the invasion of the Roman states was received in Paris yesterday, and that it is very bitter indeed against Sardinia, but at the same time oonfirms the general anticipation that Austria will not interfere at present, unless Venetia should be attacked. The protest, how ever, reserves in the fullest manner the right to send an army into Italy, and states that if Austria now abstains it is in order " not to be disagreeable to certain powers," but that ahe holds herself free to choose her own hour for attacking the revo lution. A rumour is current that M. Thouvenel may shortly be replaced by Count de Pereigny asMioia ter of Foreign Affairs. Tho Patric BUMS up the " latest news" from Italy as follows : The King of Naples, whose departure for Spain was mis takenly announced, has not left his states. According to the latest advice, he was at the head of an army of 25,000 men at a point between Gaeta, and Capes. Among these troops are the royal guard, the foreign corps, and the corps of the Abraids, which has just joined the main body. The King bad with him his two brothers, the Count de Trani and the Count de Caserta, and General Bosco, who had pushed a strong reconnoissance between Fondi and the Roman frontier. Capita and Gaeta were both strongly armed and well victualled. It wu at one time thought that General de lemoricit':re was at Spoleto, but this report turns out to be a mistake. It was also thought that the general had marched upon /deco rate, in the direction of Ancona, end that the two Sardinian corps-d'armee, to whom this situation gave au advantage, were converging towards him ; but it is said that subsequent information contradicts this find version. According to the latest statement, Lamori cire left Spoleto at the head of 9,000 picked men, divided into two corps—the one commanded by himself, and the other by General de Pimolan—and marched towards the Neapolitan frontier to effect a junction with the Neapolitan troops under the King's command. If this news, which we mention under all reserve, should be true, the situation, in a strategetic point of view, may possibly be entering a new phase• The Patric dos well to give the above paragraph " with reserve." The news that Lamoricare had arrived at Macerate by forced marches only reached Paris late this afternoon, and comes in • telegram from Marseilles of this day's date. lam disposed to think that the report of his march to join the King of Naples is only brought by private letters from Rome, and that it is untrue. lf he is at Macerate, a place between Spoleto and Ancona, there is no doubt, as was reported yesterday, that Cialdini has cut him off from his beefs of operations. Ancona will probably be in the bands of the Sardinian troops almost immediately. The Bourse was ins state of complete atrophy. The Rente closed at 67fr. 95c. for cash, and 67fr. 90c. for account, with • fall of c. in the latter case. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50c. Many of the railways were scarcely quoted. There is a rumour that General de Goyon's division in Rome is to be at once augmented to a corps d'armie of 20,000 men, but if it be true that the Pope has taken flight M. Graudguillot is an authority for the supposition that the army will be withdrawn altogether. The Patric states that the report published by certain journals relative to the intruded creation of two new public gardens for Paris, in the plain of St. Denis and at Montrouge, has no official cha racter. The Saint Public of Lyons publishes a letter from Geneva, giving an account of a duel which lately arose out of the feeling excited in that city against the French. A Swiss journalist, named Bonjour, having published a burlesque account of the late tour of the Emperor in the Chablais and Faacigny, was called on by a M. de Gercourt, of Rouen, and formerly a superior officer in the French army, who demanded satisfaction for the insult offered to his Emperor. The challenge was accepted, and, pistols having been fixed on for the weapon, the parties met in the Bois de la Batie, about a league from Geneva. M. de Gercourt had for seconds MM. Bertin and Duero', two merchants of that city ; and M. Bonjour was accompanied by MM. Le Chevalier and Very. The first fire was harmless, but in the second the journalist had his shoulder-blade broken by his adversary's ball. The government of Geneva, being satisfied that every thing was honourably conducted, has taken no notice of the affair. THE POSITION OF THE POPE. A rumour which was current a day or two back in Paris that the Pope wall determined to quit Rome rather than to allow any chance to arise of a hostile collision about his person, seems to have been looked on seriously by the Conatitutionnel, as it publishes an article by M. Grandguillot declaim ing against the baseness of princes who abandon their thrones. The observations of the journal commence in this manner : There is a party at Rome whose bliudnese will in the end sacrifioe the most noble and the most legitimate of mimes. It is that party which for the last eleven years has op posed all reforms, and only sought to separate the Pop•from the Emperor, and the Holy Bee from France. It is that extreme party, which, after having recommended to Pins IX. a parry totally devoid of all coneession, now advise him to make a dishonourable flight. It is always an act of the greatest parity fur heads of Mates to abandon their capitals; history informs us how they leave them, bet it dues not tell us how they return. For Louis XVI. the journey to Variance was the Ant step towards the 10th of August ; and for Charlie, X. and Louie Philippe the with , drawal to Hambouillet or to Neuilly was the first stage to wards exile. The writer then declares that the flight of Francis H. is quite inexplicable. The defection which took place around him on every side is no excuse whatever, our contemporary declares, for such spiritless conduct, as he could surely remain alone st Naples when Garibaldi did not hesitate to enter that city with live officers. The article then goes on to say : The flight of Francis IL is only a political desertion ; but that of Pius IX. would be worm, it would be a moral abet doament. The King of Naples may explain has precipitate departure by motives at pommel safety ; but such remora could not be brought forwent by the Holy Father, for it is will known at Rome that, in pressen of the French troops, hisurrection is impossible. The declaration of Pins IX. oa his return to Rome in 1849 is then quoted, in the following terms :—" I will not again quit this city ; • King ought not to leave his throne, a Pope ought not to separate from the tomb of St. Peter ; ' and his Holiness is then reminded that the words of 1849 should be remembered by him in 1860. What the writer is moat anxious about is, he affirms, the well-being of the Popedom, and it is to that end that the French troops are in the Roman capital. THE C &SUS BELLL General Fanti, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army which has been sent to clear the Papal provinces, baa issued the following order of the day, in addition to the manifesto which has already been published : " Bands of foreigners coming from every coun in Europe, and collected in the territory of Umbria try and Marches, have there planted deceptively the flag of a religion which they Moult.

The session of the Dutch Legislature at the Hague was opened on Monday with a speech from the King, who congratulated the country upon the satisfactory state of its affairs, with reference to the fineness, foreign relations, and internal prosperity of the State. His Majesty announced that the public health had improved since last year, and certain measures of medical reform would be proposed to the legislature. The harvest had been plentiful, in spite of the continued rains of this season. The fisheries had been productive, manufactures busy, commerce tolerably thriving, but the shipbuilders were not so well off. The colonies in the East India Archi pelago were doing well: Boni had been subjugated, and the kingdom of Banje brought under the direct administration of Holland. Amongst the projects of law for the ensuing session would be one for the suppression of slavery in the West Indian colonies. A simplification of the customs tariff; and the construction of canals for shipping communication between Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and the North Sea, are also mentioned.

On the 11th she exchanged signals with the Peninsular and Oriental rrarny's steam-ship Ceylon, and on the 18th with the Mail steam-ship Seine, steering to the westward. At Alexandria, the French man of war brig &aurae and transports taloa, Eldorado and Mayonoe, also her Majesty's I ship Liffey. The former of the transports had 700 French soldiers on beard awaiting the arrival of • French steamer at Suez to convey them to China. Her Majesty's ships Ovar, James Watt, Cando; Orion, and St. Jean d'Acre, were cruising off Malta. At Gibraltar, her Majesty's ships Scourge, Lapwing and Quail. The Crimean arrived at Gibraltar, from Liverpool, just as the Pen was leaving. From the Barbary ports there is no news of interest. It was known at !demean that the Emperor had prolonged the term for the exportation of grain. Trade was in con sequence carried on with great activity, as there remained full 40 days to continue commercial thineactions. The Russian steam frigate Gromoboy, of 50 guns, arrived at Cadiz on the 6th inst., in eight days from Plymouth, on her way to the waters of Syria. Advioes from Tangiers announce the arrival there of the Van., Nunez de Balboa, as there wit' no treasure at that city she would proceed to Mogadore, where large sums of money had been deposited on account of the Spanish govern ment. His Highness Prince Maley El Abbess, with some of his troops, continues in Tangiers. The embassy despatched by the Emperor to the court of Madrid was expected to re turn shortly to Morocco. The Cortrapondanvia announces that the Moorish ambas sadors were received by her Majesty on the sth instant, with the usual solemnity. "The autograph letter from the Emperor of Morocco (adds the Corrupolidancia) which the ambassadors presented to her Majesty, was enclosed in a crimson velvet envelope embroi der ed with gold. After the reception at the Palace the amlaaaedon went twice to the mansion of the Duke of Tetuan—first to pay him an official visit, and next to converse familiarly with him and give him the presents sent be the Emperor, consisting of a beautiful tablecloth, two cushions, and two pairs of slippers, all embroidered in gold, two balks, and two silk sashes. The day was an eventful one for the glory of our country. During the morning the carte, conveying more than 35 millions of rests, majestically drove towards the central gate of the treasury. In the even ing the Moorish ambassadors had the oppor tunity of witnessing the splendour of the court on present ing their credentials. The court displayed • dazzling appearance, the value of the jewels her Majesty wore is hicaleulable, and her countenance beamed expreruve of the pure happiness she Mt at seeing her name and country re- spected by foreign nations." Orders have been forwarded to Count Reus to proceed to the Balearic Islands, to accompany their Majesties ou their examinstory visit to the fortifications. The Marquis of Havana, Director of the Artillery, will accompany her Majesty.

CHIHEBZ RIOT IN SINOAPORE.—Ws have had a very serious threatening of a riot here, but it has been chocked in time. Had it broken out it would probably have far surpassed that of 1854, since the Chinese are not drily well anned, but, it is said, determined to resist all European interference in their faction or clan fights. Two en counters took place between the belligerent parties, which were stopped by the police, after a man had been killed, and several much hurt on each mammon. They were to,ave begun again the next day at about 2 P. a., but the appearance of the readmit councillor, the superintendent of police, and several other well-known " peece-at-eny-pnee" men of rather pugnacious character, and the able daplay and posting of the police foroe, made the head men hesitate, andall irritationappearatohavesubsided, The cause of this turbulent feeling wee rivalry between the old and the new opium fanners. The old farmer prepared a large quantity of Chandoo (the smoking composition) between the day of the Rale the 10th April, and the time ho was to abandon his rights, the let May, and the last three days of his monopoly disposed of fOO,OOO dollars' worth. The consequence of tbl was that the new man hut some 60,000 dollars the first two months. There re endued still with the old fanner some 70.000 dollars, with which he was trying to smuggle off, and of course the oppo sition wee alert to prevent him doing so. Hence rivalry and disputes. The one then got his tribe, the Hokein, to take up his name, and the other engaged the Tai-chew, and so we had the old ill-spilt roused, with every probability of all the evil results.—Loadon and China Telegraph. SIB JOHN RAMEDF.N AND THE TENANT RIGHT 1 1 LIOLDEErt OP RUDDIUMSITI.D.—The dispute between Sir John William Ranaden, Bart, and the tenant right holders ' of Huddersfield is still agitating the public nand of that town. It will be remembered that the time for treating homes at increased rents, under the 09 years Icanng act, recently obtained by Sir John, expired on the 12th of August, and that many of his tenants, relying on the soundness of their position in a legal point of V 10•1, refused to accept thaw leases, and aro consequently now without the placed of obtaining them. This refusal ors their Putthem in direct antagonism with Sir John_ ; and the question is still pending as to what course will be wailed by the respective partial involved in this vexed question. There are rumours of an intention on the part of the Tenant Right Defence Association of defending the rights of the tenants before a legal tribunal • and rumour is equally (Artois in re gard to Sir John's firm peep,. t o enforce the act, and insist upon the advanced rents which have been fixed under the set. In this juncture a meeting of the tenant holders was held in the Philreophical.hall no Mon day night, under the auspices of the Tenant Right Defence Association, when opinions of counsel were mad favourable to the position of the tenant right owners.—Manchester Gtuarrfian. THE LIVERPOOL TIMBER. TRADE.—A meeting of those. intereited in maintaining a timber market at the south end of the Liverpool Docks was held at the Bruns wick Dock yesterday (Tuesday); Mr. E. Cheioner in the chair, and a memorial wee adopted to the Mersey Dock Board, praying that the Brunswick Dock might still be re tained as a timber dock, sad connected as early as possible with the oaks, mop of docks, TER EITEENEY MURDER. Yesterday afternoon Milieus was again brought up before Mr. Salle, at the Thames police-cowt, charged with the wilful murder of Mary Emsley. Emma had been liberated on bull at the examination before Mr. Selfe on the 10th instant. After his examine. Lion before the coroner he immediately proceeded to the court with his surety, Mr. Henry Gordon, of No. 4, Hi g h Holborn, boot maker. He was accompanied by numerous friends. At an early hour the neighbourhood of the Thames police-court was densely crowded with people who were discussing the 'abject of the murder, the errata connected therewith, and all anxious to obtain admission t o the court or to witness the arrival of the prisoner Mullen', who it was known would be brought up from the coroner's court. At 1 o'clock Mullen, arrived at the police.stattou of the K division adjoining the court in • cab, in which were several police officers. The cab was rapidly drawn into the station-yard, the gates of which were immediately closed the aumous multitude, who were unable to obtain a glimpse of the prisoner. The crowd increased until 2 o'clock, and thousanda sought admission to the cpurt in vain. In addition to the officers of the court a large force of polio. under the direction of Superintendent Howie and Inspectors Hayes, Allison, Griffin, and Kerrissey, of the K division, were em. played to maintain order and to afford egress to the wit. misses and others engaged in the case. When the prisoners were placed in the dock the court was crowded to excess. Mullen, had to be led out of the cell behind the court by Rocho, the gaoler, and it was some time before the police were able to force • passage through the crowd. Mr. Wontner, solicitor, conducted the prosecution on be. half of the relatives of the deceased, and was assisted by Mr. T. W. Rateliff, solicitor, and clerk to the board at works of the Limehonse district. Mr. Charles Young, soli. citor, appeared forEmms; and Mr. Herbert Wood, solicitor, on behalf of Mullen/. Mr. Young desired Emma to stand at one end of the dock, while Melte= placed himself at the other. Mr. Wontner said-1 have the honour to appear to con. duct the inquiry respecting the murder of Mrs. Mary Linsley, so far as regards the participation in it of the two persons now at the bar under remand on that charge. Be. fore I state the course I shall pursue I perhaps had better inform your worship what was the state of the inquiry before the coroner. A lengthened examination had taken place that day. A large portion of the evidence given before the coroner's jury had been beard in this court eight days ago. After the examination of the witnesses the jury thought the ends of justios would be satisfied if they adjourned the inquiry for a con. sidentble period, for the purpose of giving the magistrate an opportunity of pursuing the investigation in this court. The inquest was then adjourned until the 17th of October. Ou the present occasion I do not propose to go at any length into the examination of witnesses, but I am desirous of sup. plying an hiatus in the case which I consider necessary, that is, as to the proof of the murder and the identity of the unfortunate woman, Mary Emsley, who was barbar ously murdered in her own house. I shall content myself with calling before you Mr. Faith, a relative of the murdered lady, who will tell you he found her dead on the 17th of August, and the surgeon, who will tell you the cause of death. It will be necessary to do this. for by adopting this course we shall be able to make considerable pros sac in the inquiry. Having done this I shall ask for a remand of the prisoners without bringing forward any other tel. donee. I must say I quite agree with the course that has been pursued regarding Emma, and I have nu doubt, sir, you will renew the bail which has been already taken for - his appearance. On the next occasion I ehall be able to state definitely the comae which I think ought to be per. sued, when I shall he prepared with • quantity of evidence bearing on the charge. I shall now call the witnesses before you that I have alluded to, showing that • murder has been committed, the cause of death, and the identity of the body. Mr. John Faith, of Park-mad, Mile-end, was then swoni„ and said—On the 17th of August last I received a comma. ideation from the prisoner Emms which induced me to pro. teed to the residence of the deceased, No. 9, Grove-road, Bow-mad. She lived there in a state of solitude, having only an occasional attendant once or twice • week. The house is one of three stories. I went into all the rooms until I entered the front room of the top floor, where I discovered Mrs. Emsley lying on the floor quite dead, with her head towards the door-poet. I sent for Mr. Gill, • surgeon. I know the prisoner Mullena, who was an. quainted with the deceased. She was in the practice of em ploying him as a bricklayer, plasterer, paperhanger, and on other work. There was a bed in the deoeseed's room. The bed was made up for sleeping, but there were paperhanging, upon it, a nd it did not appear to have been used for sleeping for some time. There was dust on the bed. The room was almost entirely filled with paper-hangings. There was very little vacant space left. Samuel Lawrence Gill, M.D. and surgeon, said-1 live at No. 4, Campbell-terrace, Bow-nod. 1 was called to the house of the deceased between 12 and 1 o'clock on the 17th of August last. I want to the bedroom, and found the de ceased lying on the floor. The body wu dressed. The head WAS towards the door-pat, with the face downwards, awl lying on the left side. The gown i.nd petticoat next to it were drawn up over the head. There were also two rolls of paper-hangings over the head. One was partially open. On the outer part of the dons I found some smears of blood, as if some person's fingers had been wiped on it. A bloody hand had been wiped on the dress. The left arm was extended under the body. The left slipper was off, within an inch of the foot. The right slipper was on. There were marks of blood on the floor. There was • large roll of house paper behind the body, within a foot of the back of the head. I examined the hody of the deceased. It was much decomposM. I found that the hair at the back was matted with dry blood. The back of the scalp was nearly gone—it was in • state of pulp. There wee a very large opening at the back of the skull. Portions of the skull were broken sharply off and driven in. The membranes of the brain were also gone, portions of the skull being driven into the substance of the brain. The wounds were putrid and possessed by mag gots& in large quantities. I turned the body over, and found the face discoloured and in • state of decompositiou. There was a very large pool of blood on the floor, besides splashes which had flown from the openings of the skull, and which I could trace across the floor some distance. There was another pool of blood, and quite a rivulet flowing from it. The cap was off the head, lying partly under and pertly behind. The cap was separated into two pmts. There was a circular hole in the back of the cap correspond. ing with the hole alluded to in the back of the head. Mr. Wontner —The next thing you did was to make II post mortem examination! Mr. Gill—Yee. _ _ Mr. Wootner—Describe the result. 3lr. Gill—ln addition to the appearances already de scribed, I found a superficial wound over the left eyebrow, about an inch and a half in length, and another about the same dimensions above the left ear. The body was pale from loss of blood, excepting the cheat and neck. These were purple, owing to the gravitation of the blood. On the right side of the head there was a pulpi• new over the ear. The temporal bone was fractured. Om removing the skull I found an extensive extravaintion oC blood, especially about the right ear, and the temporal bone above alluded to was broken to pieces. The occipital bone was in the same condition, and driven through the mem. brans into the substance of the brain. On removing the skull cap I found a quantity of blood inside. The mem branes of the brain were congested, especially on the right side, and filled with extras-witted blood. The base of the brain was in the same condition. The chest and body were unusually healthy. There were so other marks of violence on the body. Mr. Wontuer—Ls it your opinion that the wounds on the head caused death Wituess—lt is. Mr.Wontner produced &plasterer's hammer, found in the dwelling of the prisoner Mullein, and asked if such an in. strument as that was likely to canoe the wounds he had described. Wituess—lt is my opinion that an instrument like that did occasien the wounds. Mr. Woutner—Have you measured the sharp end of that instrument ? Witness—l have ; and it corresponds with the length of the wound above the left eyebrow. Mr. Woutner—Look at the other end of the hammer. Would that produce the circular wound you have 'spoken of ? Witness—l have no doubt the skull has been fraitursd by such an instrument as this. The circular wound has been produced by repeated blows, forcing the skull into the brain, and I judge this by the extreme crispness of the ed r. Belfe—Was that injury done by one blow, Mr. Gill? Witness—No, sir ' not by ono blow. The opening is tee large to have been i nflicted by one blow. It was done with some heavy instrument, as the skull was starred in an directions. Mr. Wontner—lt now only remains for me to state that I shall be preparod with further evidence on a future occaa siou. My desire now is to suit the convenience of the court as to the next remand. Mr. Selfe—Any 414 you like. Mr. Wontner thee proposed Wednesday afternoon next. Mr. Belfe—After the night cluu-ges ALIO disposed of. Mr. Wontner—lf you please. The inquiry was then silk:mined until the afternoon of Wednesday the 26th instant. Mullen+ was formally re. mandod to prison until that day, awl was taken for Fauns to the amount of 200 f. Mr. ;onion, of Holborn, was again tendered as bail and accepted. The vast crowd remained about the court until seven in he evening. Porameovallustraooma.—An inquest was held at Ipswich cm Saturday, on the bodies of Thomas Bootluoyd, aged 17, and Adelaide Boothroyd, aged 14. It a from the evidence that the elder demised gathered :rrt re h d e considered mushrooms, in Stoke-park. some few days previous, which were cooked and partaken o f by the deceased and family. Sickness and purging followed shortly after, and death took place on Saturday. A cat which had also eaten of the :mushrooms died front the effects. The Jury returned a verdict that "Death was caused by eating poisonous mushrooms ;" adding "That great caution should be exercised by persons eating mushrooms, inasmuch as Dr. Alfred Swains Taylor has, in his work ea Medical Jurisprudence, stated that then, does not appear to be any satisfactory rule for distinguishing those mush' rooms which are wholesome from those which are poisotious and find, in some persons, even the clible mushrooms will produce disorder of the stomach and bowels, owing to an alioayuanbay." • i
