THE " EXPRESS " AND THE ELECTIONS. During the Elections, in addition to the ordinary afternoon issue of the EXPRESS, which will contain she latest intelligence from the various Counties and Boroughs up to the hour of going to press, an EARLY EDITION will be published each day shortly after noon, commencing on Tues day next, containing telegrams of the Nomina tions and Pollings received up to that time ; and in a LATE EDITION the Close of the Polls will be given. Advertierneata intended far the SAIL! =MON csaact ha received later than 12 o'clock. A HOHRIBLE ease of poisoning has for some days occupied the Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh. The accused was a doctor of medicine, practising in Glasgow ; the victims were his wife and his mother-in Jaw. If the charges made were true there must have been a diabolical malignity in the perpetration, far the case was one of slow poison ing by means of antimony, every administration of which caused a recurrence of excruciating sickness and agony. Two questions were therefore laid before the jury—the first, whether the deaths were caused by poison ; the second, whether the poison was administered by the husband and son-in-law. Mrs. PRITCHARD, the wife, was the first attacked. Up to October last she had enjoyed good health. In November she was seized with what seemed to be a alight cold. It had, however, the pecu liarity that she was often sick-sometimes before and sometimes after dinner About the end of November she went to Edin burgh, and stayed there till • few days before Christmas, while her husband, Dr. Parma...an, remained in Glasgow. During the period of this absence from home her attacks of sickness con tinued ; but they grew slighter, and when she re turned to Glasgow she described herself as quite welL But she had not been long at home when the attacks became more severe. She spoke of them to those around her as being unaccountable. Soon her health began to suffer. By the begin ning of February she was seriously ill; and on the first of that month she had a severe attack of cramp in the stomach, hands, and limbs. From that time she was often, but not constantly, con fined tobed. About the 6th (there is some confusion as to dates, but this seems the true one) her hus band sent for a second cousin of his wife's (Dr. COWAN, of Edinburgh) to come and see her. He was unable to account for the sickness, and pre scribed ice, and a little champagne if there was much prostration. Oa his return to Edinburgh he sent Mrs. TAYLOR" Mrs. PRTICHARD'S mother, to her. Before her arrival, Mrs. PRITCHARD, on the Bth February, bad another severe attack of cramp. She seemed to the servants to be excited, and she told them she had taken chloroform, that she was very ill, and wished to see Dr. OAUDRER, a Glasgow medical man, Professor of Medicine in the University. He found her in violent hysterical excitement, talking irrationally, and he judged her to be intoxicated. He forbade stimulants, and on calling next day found her quiet and nearly free from cramp, and then ordered merely plain diet without medicine. Dr. PRITCHARD had de scribed her state as catalepsy, but Professor GAIRD HER describes catalepsy to be a disease hardly ever seen, and of which he had no knowledge, and for himself, he was very much puzzled with the case. He wrote about it to her brother, Dr. TAYLOR., of Penrith, a personal friend of his own, desiring to be backed by his opinion, but he was not again called in by Dr. PRITCHARD, and never saw Mrs. PRITCHARD after his second visit. All that Pro fell•Or GAIRDNRR was clear about was that it was serious case, but certainly presented no symptoms, of fever. Mrs. Taros arrived at her daughter's house. She, it seems, though generally in good health, had long been subject to spasms, for which she took Batley's solution of opium. About the 20th she sent the housemaid, MARY M`LEOD, for a bottle of this medicine. On the 24th she complained of sick ness. On the evening of the 24th aDr. ParsasoN, formerly Professor of Midwifery in Glasgow, was sent for to see her, and on arriving wsatold by Dr. Personas° that a short time before, she had, while writing a letter, fallen from the chair. He assigned no reason except that, after drinking some bitter beer with her daughter at supper, they had both been sick, and complained of the beer being more bitter than usual. Dr. PATERSON saw at once that she was dying under the effect of • narcotic. In a few minutes she expired. Though not asked to examine Mrs. PRITCHARD, Dr. Parxesow particu larly remarked her appearance and symptoms while attending on her mother, and formed " the " conviction that she was under the depressing " influence of antimony." He afterwards ex plained that the symptoms were not those of me- dicinal administration of antinimy,*f , butlei- 1 continued administration with o; view to lOW ing. But though he formed Os opt ion it absolutely to himself. Jle aftlegaisomi inoonsiatently, that if he bad been attending her in consultation with another medical man he would have certainly told him his suspicions, but he did net to DIN PRITCHARD, the victim's husband, be cause "he was a medical man," and "it would "net have been very sate." He contented himself with refusing to certify the " calm of "Mrs. TAYLOR'S death," on the ground that he bad only seen her once, and that Dr. PRITCHARD was her regular attendant, and he de dared that he considered that by this refusal, and by underlining the words "cause of death " in his letter to the Registrar, respecting Mrs. TAYLOR, be had taken every precaution medical etiquette allowed for saving Mrs. Funnier) from the fate of slow poisoning which he believed was impending over her. On March 2, he again, at the request of Dr. PR/TCHARD, whom he met in the street, saw Mrs. PRITCHARD, and his suspicions, or rather assurance, that "some person was engaged in ad " ministering antimony to her for the purpose of " procuring her death " were confirmed. Still, however, be breathed no word on the subject to herself, to her husband, to her family, or to the police, restrained, as he insists, by medical " etiquette." We sincerely trust that the pro fession to which Dr. PATIMON belongs will lose no time in disclaiming a theory of social duty which converts its skill and science into the means of more effectually concealing the dark crimes which they detect while still in process of consum mation. For murder by some one there was undoubtedly done. Mrs. PRITCHARD gradually sank under a continuance of the symptoms, and on the 17th of March, a few hours after being visited for the last time by Dr. PATRSSON, she expired. After a short interval suspicion was roused, and her body was exhumed and examined. In all the internal parts large quantities of antimony were found,which led the medical men to the conclusion that she had undoubtedly been poisoned by that drag, not by means of a single large dose, but by long con tinued administration. Mrs. TAYLOR'S body was next examined. It also presented distinct traces of antimony. The bottle of Batley's solution which she had a little before her death procured, and which she had in part used, was recovered and analysed. It was found to contain a considerable proportion of antimony, though as prepared no such ingredient enters into its composition. It was also proved by taste, and by its marked effects when administered to animals, to contain aconite, a far more deadly poison than opium, though not capable of detection by chemical analysis. This ingredient also, it was proved, could not have been in it when sold. Hence the conclusion was irre sistible that Mrs. PRITCHARD had been poisoned by long-continued doses of antimony, and Mrs. Tama by antimony and aconite added to the medicine she was using. The question was, by whom these crimes were committed? In the house there resided two medical students, as boarders, a cook, a housemaid, and the children of Dr. and Mrs. PRITCHARD. By the circumstance that all these persona, except the children, occasionally tasted articlesof food prepared for Mrs. PRITCHARD, remarked in them a strange taste, felt instantly a burning sensation in the throat, and suffered from violent sickness, it was established that the poison was as a rule admi nistered in her food or drink. As the symptoms appeared when she was confined to her room, and when her food passed only through the hands of the cook, housemaid, and Dr. PRITCHARD, the crime was fixed on one or other of these three. But the cook was changed on the 16th of Fe bruary, and the symptoms were the same with the new u with the old one. Hence suspicion is limited to Dr. PRITCHARD and the housemaid, M sax Mg-LIDO, II girl at the time of 16 years old. She admitted that an improper connexion had subsisted between her and her master during the preceding autumn, and that on her finding herself with child he had promised to marry her, " if his wife should die be fore him." She also had, it appeared, opportunity of dealing with all the food Mrs. PRITCHARD used, as it was she who carried it upstairs. Buton the other hand, Dr. PRITCHARD always had either assisted in its preparation, or himself gave it, when the symptoms of poisoning showed themselves. He was proved to have purchased from time to time quantities of antimony, aconite, and chloroform, which astonished the dispensing chemist, being more than the latter sold in a year to all the other practitioners in Glasgow whom he supplied. Yet when, on the night of Mrs. Fermium's death, Dr. Parlous desired him to administer some common medicines to her, he replied that he kept no medicines in the house, except chloroform and , Batley's solution. When the bottle, partly used, I of this medicine was found in Mrs. TATIOIeC pocket after her death, he forbade the servants to mention it, as it might cause people to speak. On Dr. PATZMOWS refusal to certify the cause of death, he returned it as paralytic apoplexy which had endured twelve hours, while be knew it certainly was neither. Mrs. PRITCHARD'S death he returned as gastric fever. At the moment of her death he uttered the exclamation, " What a " brute, what a heathen—so gentle, so mild," and called for some one to shoot him with • rifle which was in the house. Finally, he had a pecu niary interest, under a will, in the death of both Mrs. TAYLOR and Mrs. PRITCHARD, and his affairs were in a disordered state. In view of these circumstances it is undoubtedly impossible to say that MARY M'Laon cannot have either committed, or at least been privy to, the murder. But all that can be said against her is, that she bad opportunity, and a possible motive — circumstances which may be important links of evidence where there are others, but wholly in sufficient in themselves, since they may often apply to half adozen innocent individuals as well as to the real murderer. On the other hand, Dr. PRITCHARD had motive, materials, opportunity, and his case is darkened by his medical knowledge and the un questionable falsehoods of which he was guilty in connexion with both the cases during their pro gress and at their termination. This appears to have been the view of the jury, who found Dr. PRITCHARD guilty of murder. Tan ram Exxon°Na.—The expected warrant to authorise the Obaneellor to Wee write for tb.

A Paris letter, in the /ndipendanee of Brussels, eau :—" I hare just been informed that the Countess de Mootijo, the mother of the Empress, yesterday underwent, at her residence in the Row de l'ElyMe, a painful operation ou the organ of sight. It was performed with great skill. and I hope with success, by Dr. Libriech, assisted by M. Sayer. The Empress and the Emperor visited the patient in the "vesting, and did not leave till 9 o'clock. During the name day their Majesties visited the Marquis of Hertford's gallery of paintings, Louis XVL's furniture, sad oriental arms. They were accompanied by Madame de Loorniel, Madame de la Podia, Millie. Bouvet, M. de St, Albin, private librarian to the Empress, and General Wanbert de Geniis, aide-de-camp to the Emperor." The Spam, referring to the Mdmoire prepared by the Emperor on Algeria, says :—" We think we can Mate that the object of printing this week is to permit each of the ministers or political personages to whom It has been presented to write on the margin any oherria. tions suggested by reading the document. The different cmies thus annotated are to be subsequently returned to the i Emperor, who will examine the objections, without musing them to be discussed in council, and afterwards draw up the definitive programme of the imperial policy in Algeria." All the fashionable world of Paris are off to the bathing plum. Trouville and Deauville have made preparations to receive a large number of the elite. The Princess de Basso, the Mar chimers de Ciallifse, the Countem de enemy, the Countess de Ouselaux, the Marchioness do Leaveneaurt, the Countess d'Aulan, Baroness Poisson, Viscountess Per. netti, the Countess Cancrine, and many other distinguished parsecs have engaged accommodation at those places.
