The Vest colt jumped off with the lead, followed by Jheldi, Palestro, and Lady Ripon.; but on rounding the top turn Palestro went up, and at the railway arches got to the favourite's girths. The pair ran thus along the side, Lady Ripon going third—Jheldi, notwithstanding that he was sharply spurred, dropping to the rear. On entering the straight Covey slightly increased his lead, which he held to the end, and won easily by a neck, which might have been made lengths; Lady Ripon was a bad third, and Jheldi beaten off. delivered personally to Dr. Blythe, who tells you that no person could have tampered or interfered with it, and in this he finds the deadly poison strychnine.

With other Poems. By W. CHARLES KENT, Barrister-at-Law. Pcap. Bvo., price n. " The author of `Dreamlon 'and lAlethela' has risen to a height so wary close to thb summit of genius, that he may be commiseratea for his inability to grapple witii the last peaks of its elevation. There is abundance of talent, a delicate taste, an endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and illusion : the landscape is most luxurious ; and the mns'c of verse excellent."—Literary Budget. "Mr. Kent has Undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. Pope at Twickenham is a cabinet picture. Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructidor , ' shows what Dutch fidelity of word fainting the author can master When he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Athenaeum. "The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi , tion of success to all poetshat.Aa in /sympathy with his ssialpct and not only witithim'elf ;that he is trilly poet and noCegotist. Bnt it is by no means his only Merit. He is a mas ter of versification. The flow of his Verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a Obpious and ornate vocabulary. Shelley at Marlow is a /Wilting exquisitely delicate.' The vision of Shelley with winch Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and Enr.ecuted with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. he Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that 117 r. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections." —The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His `Aletheia' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration, The best of all, we think, is that of Scott. There is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull, " Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious, and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with elegant tastes."—Daily News. " Poems of v considerable excellence. Fructidor 'is a very close and vi ry gorous word painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The Critic. " The pictures Mr. Kent makes arc carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World. "We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than 'Dreamland.' He is a real poet, unquestionably, and often versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-music is shown in • The Morris Dance: s.' "—The Press. ALETHEIA ; OR, THE Doom OF MYTHOLOGY.

The difference between true Spermatorrhma and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

PRIVATE BILLS. Lord REDESDALE moved that no private bill brought from the House of Commons shall be read a second time after the Ist of July ; that no bill confirming Provisional Order of Board of Health, or authorising enclosure of lands under special report of the enclosure Commissioners, or for confirming any scheme of Charity Commis sioners shall be read a second time after the Ist of July. That when a bill shall hate passed this house with amend ments these orders shall not apply to any new bill sent up which the Chairman of Committees shall report is sub stantially the same as the bill so amended.—Agreed to. COUNTY COURTS. Lord CHELMSFORD put a question to the noble and learned lord on the.woolsaek, with reference to the schedule of fees paid on proceedings in the County Courts in accor dance with the order of two of her Majesty's Commissioners of the Treasury and the consent of the Lord Chancellor, dated April 10, 1862. He (Lord Chelmsford) particularly objected to the second paragraph in the order, which made compulsory the payment of Is. in all plaints where the sum in dispute was under 40s. irrespective of costs. The LORD CHANCELLOR admitted that the order had been inadvertently drawn up, but he would take care to have it corrected. His object was to restrain the abuse of converting the county courts into an instrument for the collection of small debts, which had been allowed to be in curred in reliance upon the facility afforded by those courts.

PETITIONS.

THE ALLEGED CHALLENGE OF THE SPEAKER TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR TO A RIFLE MATCH. Mr. B. OSBORNE said—l have a question to ask you, Sir (addressing the Speaker), in reference to what was stated to have taken place in the Upper House last evening. According to that statement it appears that a challenge was sent from the members of this house to the members of the other house to meet them in a rifle contest, and you, Sir, were described as having sent a personal challenge to the Lord Chancellor. (Laughter.) Lord ELCHO said:that he thought he could explain the matter satisfactorily, and at the same time thought that the subject should not have been brought forward. Ho had received a letter from the right hon. gentleman the Speaker, expressing his surprise at the statement of the Lord Chancellor, that he had received a challenge from him (the Speaker), and stating that ho was engaged in reading a paper when a question was put to him on the matter of the contest between the members of the two houses. He gave a hurried answer which had been misin terpreted. He had communicated its contents to the Lord Chancellor, and he certainly should never have thought that the subject would have been brought before the house. (Hear, hear.) He regret ted also that anything he might have said should have been the means of occasioning the right hon. gentleman (the Speaker) the slightest annoyance. The SPEAKER saidl wish to treat the matter is per fect good humour, and I trust the house will do the same. (Hear, hear.) Since I occupied my present position I have had occasion to call members to order when they alluded to debates in the other house of Parliament. This, how ever, was an exceptional case, and the subject in question might be regardedi:as a message. (Laughter.) I do regret that the house should, even for a few minutes, have been occupied with such a matter. I disclaim hav ing had any intention to challenge the distinguished offi cers of the Crown alluded to—(hear, hear, and laughter)— and I believe no one could be more anxious to avoid com mitting this house. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said that no one could doubt for a moment the last statement of the right hon. gentleman, and he hoped there never would be any more serious colli sion between the two houses than would arise from the challenge of the Speaker to the Lord Chancellor. (Loud laughter.) TREATIES WITH CANADA. Mr. FITZGERALD asked her Majesty's Government whether they had received from her Majesty's Minister a copy of the report of the committee of the House of Repre sentatives of the United States on the operation of recipro city treaties with Canada; and, whether, if such a report had been received, there was any objection to lay it upon the table of the house. Mr. LAYARD said there was no objection to lay the papers in question before the house. FORTS AT SPITHEAD. Mr. OSBORNE asked the Secretary of State for War when the commissioners for inquiring into the necessity for erecting forts at Spithead might be expected to communi cate their report to Parliament. Sir G. LEWIS said that he understood that the report of the Commissioners would ha ready next weok. OCCUPATION OF MEXICO. Sir G. BOWYER asked the First Lord of the Treasury, what information her Majesty's Government had received respecting the occupation of Mexico by France, and the intentions of the French Government regarding Mexico F Lord FALMERSTON said that the latest advices re ceived from the British Consul was that the French corps had advanced to Mexico. What were the intentions of the . _French, o r any ot h er fore i gn G overnmen t, it w as n o t th e duty of an English Minister to expound. His noble friend the owners doig:hA ffa irs.

Sir E. Pearson had never been actually appointed to the post, and in pre senting it to Mr. Tite he did so without any improper bias or feeling. The right hon. gentleman entered into a long and minute explanation of the circumstances connected with the appointment of Mr. Tite, with the view of show ing that it was altogether free from the character of a job. He was quite ready to produce the correspondence on the subject, but objected to the motion of the hon. baronet on the ground that the question at issue was one for the deci sion of a law court rather than a committee of this house. Explanations were also offered by Mr. TITE, who ob served that he only accepted the office after receiving an assurance from the Chief Commissioner of Works that Sir E. Pearson had no claim to the appointment, and that he had never intended to culler it upon him ; that the emolu ments attached to the office did not amount to more than £lOO a year for two or three years, and that there were really no funds in existence to provide even that miserable stipend. Mr. MACAULAY supported the motion on the ground that he considered Sir E. Pearson had been very ill-treated, but suggested that the motion should be amended by con fining the inquiry to the circumstances connected with the appointment of the hon. member for Bath as chairman of the commission. Mr. H. BAILLIE contended that the Chief Commis sioner of Works would have been wanting in his public duty had he conferred the office upon Sir E, Pearson. Lord PALMERSTON justified the course adopted by the Chief Commissioner in the appointment of Mr. Tite. On a division the motion for a committee was negatived by 139 to 128, being a majority in favour of the Govern ment of 11 only. THE SUEZ CANAL. In reply to Mr. entiFFlTit, Mr. LAYARD stated that he was in great doubts with regard to the terms upon which the labourers were em ployed in the construction of the Suez canal; but it was admitted that the contractors had entered into an agreement with a Greek firm to furnish labour, and that these had induced the Pacha of Egypt to supply them with a consi derable number of men. Whether the labour was forced or not, one thing which was certain was, that the poor people laboured against' their will, were torn from their villages and replaced by fresh supplies every month, that many of them came from as far as the first cataract of the Nile, and that great misery was inflicted upon the population. The hon. gentleman also stated, in answer to Col. Sykes, that the Government approved of the recent operations against the Taepings at Shanghae. At the instance of Mr. HUNT, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL detailed the circum stances under which he had struck out of the list of persons unanimously recommended by the Town Council of North ampton to fill the vacancies in the number of charity trus tees for that borough the names of four gentlemen profess ing Conservativn .net hurl .übstituted nth Ara in lieu of them. Major EDWARDS expressed regret that the recommen dation of the council had not been acted upon, and observed that it had led to an unpleasant feeling in the borough. Mr. AYRTON called attention to the manner in which the charges for the civil services were increased, and sug gested that it was expedient to change the mode of conduct ing business, so as to enable the house to more effectually supervise the progress of measures tending to that increase. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admitted that the subject was ono of importance, and that it required consideration whether some practical measure might not be devised with a view to effecting improvement. In the case of bills relating to public works, for example, he saw no reason why a definite estimate should not be produced be fore such bills had passed through the various stages. Re had no objection to ask the house, on an early day, to ap point a select committee to inquire into the matter. The house then went into committee of supply, and on the vote for harbours of refuge, .Mr. BAXTER to moved reduce the amount by the sum of £90,000 for Alderney. Sir J. ELPIITNST ONE seconded the motion. Lord C. PAGET defended the vote, and entreated the committee not to leave the works in their present sad and unfinished state. Ho also gave an assurance ttmtno further sums would be expended on the defences of Alderney. After discussion the committee divided, and the amend ment was negatived by 138 to 130. Upon Mr. DISRAELI entering the Hou - e from the lobby of the minority ho was cheered by several members at the bar. The announcement of the result of the division was received with loud cheers. The vote was then agreed to, and the CHAIRMAN re ported progress. The Landed Property Improvement (Ireland) Acts Amendment Bill and the Retiring Pay (British Forces, India) Bill were passed through committee. The house then adjourned. SP URTING IN7ELLIG.ENCE.

For the past five days the coroner of the district, Mr, John J. Shoo, has been inquiring at Clogheen, county Tip perary, into the cause of the death of Mrs. Johanna Burke, wife of the clerk of the Waterford Uni n, the result of which is that Mr. Burke has been committed to the county gaol, the verdict of the jury being that Mrs. Burke had died on the 11th of April from the effects of strychnine ad ministered to her in medicine, which she had received from her husband, Richard Burke, in Waterford. The particu lars of the case, as revealed in a very voluminous evidence, extending over five days, appears to be of the most painful character. A servant girl in the employment of the de ceased stated in the course of her evidence—" I asked the deceased, the evening of her death, if I would go to the well for water; she said no—to go to the river ; I did so, and returned to the house ; deceased got a cup, and put it into the water ; she said that she wanted it for the medi cine ; she said there was a very bad taste on that physic ; I asked her which was the camomile or the physic the worst; she said the physic was ; she then got up and went to the:door ; she was not long when she called me three times ; she said " Oh, take me, Nelly, Nelly, Nelly ; she told me to get some water for her; I put some in a cup for her, but she was not able to hold it; she then said, " Catch me, and lay me down, Nelly," and she fell on the ground trying to discharge her stomach ; she said " Bad cess to that blackguard medicine ; she said " Oh, Nelly, Nelly, I am dying, I fear; I then went for her sister,Mrs. Mooney, and when we came in she was working in con vulsions ; she told mo there was more of the medicine in a small box, with a loose cover on it, in the parlour, and said she would show it to Dr. Walshe ; she also said that day that she would take the medicine that night which her hus band had sent her from Waterford, From the testimony of Mrs. Mooney, the sister of the dead woman, wo gather that the deceased had a "little property, which she had to mind. Her husband lived in Waterford, but it was not from any misunderstanding they did not live together. She was subject to fits of epilepsy. On Monday, the 14th of April, she took a cup of tea and some bread and butter in my house, and left, to all appearance, in her usual good health. About half-past eight I was called by her servant, who called to me at the door, and said, Come out I come out I herself wants you,' and on entering the house of the de ceased found her lying on her back on the kitchen floor. ;he then said, ' Lift me up, lift me up.' 1 called for a pil low to raise her head, but sho still said, Higher, higher ; Oh lift me a little higher.' She then asked to be turned on her side, which I did ; sho then said, Oh, Annie, Annie, I believe lam dying.' I said it would be nothing, that it was only an attack of a fit of epilepsy. Sho said, Oh, no no no; don't you see it is not.' She then raised herself sn her side, and threw up her limbs violently. She again said, ' That is not an hysteric fit. No, no, my sister, I am dying, and I would rather die in your arms than in any ono else's in tho world.' She again said, ' God forgive them that caused this.' About three weeks ago the deceased came into my house with a parcel of medicine in white paper, and a bottle con taining some liquid. She said she got it from her husband. I knew him to send her medicine before on one occasion. At the time deceased was showing me the medicine she said 16 wad not worth losing dd by it. Some days after this she said, ' I think I mill take the medicine he sent me.' 1 said, 'Do not mind it.' The deceased never told me she took any medicine. On Sunday last (13th) deceased brought a letter into me, which she got from her husband, containing two half notes. In the letter ho alludes to the medicine, and asks did she take any of it. There is another letter, in which he tells her how to take the medicine. On the evening of the deceased's death the priest questioned the servant what she had taken; she said she had taken medi cine she had got from Waterford. I started at this." Hanna Mooney states—" These was a sideboard removed from the house of the deceased the night of her death, in order to make room to wake her. The head constable came to me about 10 o'clock, and asked me to examine the side • board for medicine. 1 also found a white paper, with a powder in it, whick I gave to Head Constable M'Mahon next morning. " That powder was handed over to Head Constable Hatton, who subsequen tl y submitted it to Dr. Blythe, Professor, Queen's College, Cork, for analysis, and in his evidence the learned Professor says :—" I recognise Constable Hatton here. He came to me on the 24th of April last, at my house in Cork, and handed me three articles, one of which was a white paper parcel, on which was written Dose of salts of 'magnesia, to be dissolved in cold water, and taken at bed time,' The package contained a white powder. The next was a brown paper pac k ag e securely tied and se a l e d w i th five seals. On two of these seals were the letters H. H.' in German or Saxon eharaetere. This contained a I j ar holding it small portion of intestine, a stomach which was slit open so as to allow a portion of the contents to escape into the jar, and the third was a bottle containing a fluid. While in my possession no person could have interfered with these in any way, either at my own house, or at my laboratory at the college." Dr. Blythe then said, "The result of the analysis is, that the deadly poison strychnine was found in the stomach of the deceased." The powder was found, upon being placed under a powerful microscope, to be of a mixed crystalline nature ; the constituent parts b e i n g about 78 parts of epsom salts to 11 parts of carbonate o f magnesia, and 11 parts the deadly poison strychnine. It might be said to contain nearly 12 per cent, of strychnine. Judging, therefore, from the symptoms shown previous to, " she suddenness with which the death is reported to have ana 'm of opinion that the death of Johannah Burko occurred, dminist ration of the deadly poison stry ch was caused by the nine. In concluding his a , •_" to the jury, the coroner thus •—" You have the powder put the cardinal fact of the case. -- tton, brought and touted by the head-comtable given to ittivv,. My dear Wife,—l arrived here on Monday morning ; and have had no time to write since, being engaged attending a trial, - Varroll v. Peet, a paper contain in g which I send you. I hoyo you are better now than when I saw you. Indeed, your breathing and pulsation, resembling an old country watch, was frightful. Lose no time in using the medicine which I send up to you.—Yours, Scc,, RICHARD BURKE. There is a letter dated on Saturday, the 12th April, in which he speaks of the salts, and on the 16th she takes it, and in half an hour after is a lifeless corpse. From all these circumstances it will be now for you to consider, gen tlemen of the jury, if you are to exclude Mr, Burke from any responsibility in this transaction. I believe I have laid all the evidence necessary before you. You may now retire to your room, and consider your verdict. The jury retired, and in about twenty minutes after they returned into court, when the verdict was handed to the coroner. The verdict simply ran :—" That the deceased, Johanna Burke, came by her death at Clogheen, on Mon day, the 14th April, from the effects of strychnine, in me dicine which she had received from her husband, Richard Burke, in Waterford." The Coroner, having read this aloud, asked if they had all agreed to it, to which they all returned an. affirmative. The Coroner—ln that case, Mr, Burke, I must order you into custody. Mr. Burke—Very well, Sir. The warrant was then made out, and Mr. Burke, accom panied by an escort of police, was brought from tho court house to the barrack, preparatory to being sent forward to Clonmel.
