It seems as if a great part of the press of this country must range itself on the side of the North or the South. Why we should be partizans of either we cannot comprehend, since we have all seen from the beginning that neither party was contending for the only object in which Englishmen can feel any interest. It has been noticed again and again that the PRESIDENT was perfectly neu tral on the question of slavery, that he declared in his inaugural, not only that he could not legally interfere with slavery where it already existed, but that gi he had no desire to do so," and recently, at so late a period of the war, in reply to a letter from Mr. HORACE GREELY, he declared that "the Union," with slavery or without it, was his only object; that the abolition or retention of slavery mist, so far as he was concerned, depend upon which would best save the Union. Since then, tak ing the North a 3 a unit, it has been confessed from the beginning to be personally averse to the negro, and not to be engaged in a war for his freedom, while the South was avowedly fighting for two things—its independent existence and its slavery — have we not a right to strike our own balance, and to wish for success to that party whose triumph will most fartNer our own object. The North then, we affirm, though for purely selfish reasons, is fighting for one object, which every Englishi-aan hopes to see attained—the limn That was the grand point t a tion of slavery. w hich Mr. LINCOLINT would not concede to the Southern delegates. They might keep their slavery as long as they liked—they might have an honestly worked slave law—the personal liberty acts of the Northern State legislatures might be repealed—but one thing Mr. LINCOLN firmly said mi g ht not be—the South might not extend its " domestic institution" into the territories of the United States. That prohibition had been, h e said, the distinctive policy of his party, it was his own conviction that it was a right policy, and that the Constitution ought to be worked for the extension. of freedom, not of slavery. On this " honest ABE put down his foot." We know that the reason of his party's firmness on this point is selfish—it is that free labour cannot demean itself to compete with slave labour, and that it was essential therefore to exclude slavery from all the west yet untainted with it. But surely, whatever the motive, with this end we must all cordially concur. No honest English journal, whatever its predilections, ought to keep this out of sight. If the South triumph, all the vast unsettled western territory will be open to the slaveholder, and the slaveholder is fighting that it may be so. If the North triumph, slavery must be content with its own territory, which, vast as it is—larger, in (l,9,ed, than the North—the unthrifty system of slave lalm ur has already to a great extent exhausted of its beet lands. Which do Englishme n p refer ? Three things have undoubtedly chiefly created that Great extent of sympathy felt in this country with the Southerners. Those who battle for lade- Pende " e will always have the good will of Eng lishmen the vnrd has a magic charm for us. Next, the United S tates, relying on magnitude and unity have been th e innSt bullying and intolerant nation the World ha a lately t seen, their favourite g overnment, th a t of hee"r) not excepted; the South is chiefly answ erabl e for all this swagger, w ilfulness, and bonne , d iplomatic intercourse with European nations; for hith erto the South has been in power ; still, as the vast ness of the Union was the cause of it, there has been spread feel-ing that the independence a widely South would bind both the ,„: nee of the sections of the old Fede eation to better behaviour. t to nil this has been adlded Southern SUCCeI: -tstly, • -1 1 a qu irrel it i 3 impossible not to sympathise With successful courage on the bide of the weaker, qu i te independently of the merits' of the dispute. We s hould do it in witnessing a fi ht between t wo g does. The South started at such disadvantage in naval per, point of number s, and wealth, an, ow r ed with the and manufacturing res ources, as C3mpa North, and the latter seemed so confident of being able to overwhelm the South by mere vast armies,s in the old Assyrian or Persian style, that it ha been impossible not to look with something akin to pleasure on the people who have had two Bull's Runs, one repulse of the enemy from their capital, and an invasion of their foes, with the capture of Harper's Ferry among their triumphs. All these considerations, however, when fairly considered, should not make us desire a Southern triumph. We may see, and we do see, that a re union of the South with the North is, so far as any judgment can now be formed, an utter impos sibility. Even if the Northern proceedings issue in a general liberation of the blacks, the intense Southern aversion for the North w ould make re union a nullity. It could be only a union of the conqueror and the conquered union which long ages would not complete. Bu t there is all the b e t w een the South difference in the worl d conquering the North and its merely being able to compel the North to recognise its independence. The latter, we confess, we should, as at present ad vised, not be very sorry to see, especially if slavery had been first abolished. But if the South con- quered, the Border States, and the States west of Mississippi, would all be retained for slavery ; while if the North conquered, it would demand that the entire western side of the Mississippi should belong to it, as well as Kentucky and Tennessee f and re e d thus om: a a nd h n immense ense area would be secured for great and growing Northwest would at least have one bank of their great ocean river. But we also look farther. We cannot conceive that a great slave power, liberated from the shackles of Union with free States, and free to extend it self west and south to the Pacific, and all over Central America, would be a desirable addition to the family of nations. One thing this war has taught us—what indeed we have learned from the republics of antiquity, that a nation of freemen maintaining itself by the labour of its slaves is free to be a very aggressive nation towards its neigh bours. The greater part of the whites of the Southern 'States find in the war a congenial occu pation. They are excluded from labour by its de gradation; the poorest white is an aristocrat ; and as he can make no pretensions to the church, to physic, or to law, what is he good for but for the army ? Hence a Southern confederacy, free to make its conquests southward and westward and among the islands of the West Indies, would never want an army like that which it has so unexpectedly supplied to resist the mightier North. Such a State, able to supply it. self freely with weapons of war from Europe, and to support itself by the labour of its slaves, would become an American conquering nation, which might soon swallow up all Central America, and render itself the greatest nuisance to civilisation in the world. Whatever independence, therefore, the South achieves we ought to hope it will be one which will surround its dark domains by the terri tories of freemen. The year of grace 1862 has been set apart alto gether as a year of mourning. Politically, socially, in most of the ordinary and avoidable ways, each of the 366 days of 1862 has been set aside as a sort of dies non. As a tribute of respect and affection proffered to the memory of the late PRINCE CON SORT, this " passing over" of the whole year, by the concurrence of the QUEEN and of her People, with the ready coincidence in this way of both parties in both Houses of Parliament, is beyond all the testi monials in bronze, in marble, in granite, or, if it could be practicable, in the precious metals, that could be constructed to perpetuate the love of the widowed Sovereign for her husband, and the grati tude of the English nation to his Royal Highness. It is related in one of the most picturesque and fondling descriptions contained in Sir ivacrimatop ALISON'S " History of Europe" that when, in 1814, at the close of the battle of Lutzen, a cannon ball shot down the celebrated Marshal DUROC, Duke of Friuli, Grand Marshal of the Palace of the Era. peror NAPOLEON, one of the most illustrious among the Paladins, and about the most beloved among all .he intimate Friends of the Great Conqueror, the latter—inconsolable with grief under the anguish caused by the death of DIIROC—put aside every reference to himself whether as a soldier or as a Sovereign, whether as Emperor or as Commander in-Chief : contenting himself with saying—" To morrow ! everything to-morrow !" It has been precisely in this spirit that our beloved QUEEN has acted ever since the unlooked for and lamented de mise of her Royal Consort. Next year ! everthing has been set aside until Next Year ! His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES is to be married to the Princess ALEXANDRA of DEN MARE. But the nuptials are not to take place until early next spring. Even the distribution of the prizes awarded to the more successful exhibitors in the Great World's Show, at South Kensington, the first public ceremonial which H.R.H, the Prince of WALES is appointed to preside over, is postponed from this year of the Great Exhibition until the year immediately ensuing. The Exhibition itself, as we took occasion to remark very recently in these co lumns, it was absolutely impossible by any contriv ance of ingenuity, in anyway whatever, to postpone; all the arrangements for it having been a great deal too far advanced for such an afterthought, when H.R.H. the late PRINCE CONSORT breathed his last so unexpectedly in the winter of 1861 at Windsor Castle. Otherwise, the Exhibition would, beyond any doubt whatever, have b een pos t pone d. The date alone rendered that impracticable, howbeit. The treasures of art and industry were already ar rived or arriving, crossing seas and continents from the ends of the earth towards their common desti nation. The E x hibition h a d t o b e held, and it has been so held accordingly, even under these untoward and afflicting c i r cumstances. B u t th e Q UEEN her self has never on ce set foot within th e b u ildi ng at Her MAJESTY'S c hild ren, i t i s South Kensing ton. true, repeatedly visited the Exhibition during the later months of its remaining open, but the QUEEN herself not once has crossed the th res h old. The display of 1862 would doubtles s h ave recalled too poignantly to rec ollection the diff erent circumstances attend ant upon the display of 1851 PRCE CT —when His Royal High ness thean dI th e matur ONSOR ity was in the flower of his a g e, with that remem of his rare powers. Theref ore, N went not b ra nce cherish( d in her heart, the QUEE once to the recent Exhibition. And no w that the now display is closed, as an exhibiti on ; that its contents are being sold and scattered, the closing ceremony of the distribution of the prise medals — like everything else that could be postponed --13 postponed. Early next year these medals will be distributed among those to whom they have been awarded, and they will be distributed by H. R. H. the Prince of WALES. So uewhat about the same period, or, probably, a brief while afterwards, His Royal Hi g h ness w ill be united in marriage with Her Royal To-mo rrow , moreover,gbness the the Prince Princessnce of ALEX. - ALES A w NDRA• will attain his majority. But, hero again, as in regard to everything else to which a reasonable postponement could be applied the eommemor a • tive ceremonies that would , under wou , hap pier circumstances, eha v e ce lebrated f the advent of that auspiciou s recurren ce '__ the 9th day of Novem ber will be postponed Will be put off until Next Year. Whatever i.ndicatietus of loyal rejoicing on THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1862. the fact of the Prince of WALES attaining his ma jority will be unofficial, informal so to speak, spon taneous, and anauthorised, or at any rate unorigin ated, by the officers of the Government. Even sup posing that this could have been otherwise, the circumstance of the 9th of November falling in 1862 upon a Sunday, would have necessitated the postponement of the rejoicings incidental to the coming of age of the heir to the throne of these I realms until the day following that 9th of Novem ber, that is to say, until Monday. As with H.R.H.'s Birthday, so with LORD MAYOR'S Day in 1882 —both have to be regarded as if falling upon the Monday. The only difference in this bein g that the postponement of the former until Monday (as a day of rejoicing) will be purely treated as an optional matter by her MAJESTY'S lieges. While it is thus arranged, there is nothing of course pre cluding the authorities from celebrating the occa sion—without any courtly show or pageantry—ac cording to the ordinary system by the customary distribution of honours. A Brevet could in no way jar with the respectful dedication of the present year of grace to the signs and evidences of a national as well as of a courtly mourn ing. H.R.H. the General Commanding-in-Chief —then, we presume, to be allowed his full title of Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Forces—H.R.H. the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, it is understood, will at length receive, what he might reasonably have held in his grasp long since, considering his services and his popularity—his baton as a Field Marshal. A similar recompense for yet longer and more varied services than those of his Royal Highness will also be awarded, it is understood, to Lord GOUGH and to Lord CLYDE. Possibly there may be awarded to a select few a step or so in the Peerage—a pro ceeding that none will regret or resent if for once it be but carried out judiciously. A curious dilemma occurs in regard to the award, according to custom upon those occasions, of a baronetcy to the then LORD MAYOR of London. H. R. H. the Prince of Wales having been born now just one and-twenty years ago—of all good days in the year—upon the Lord Mayor's Day, upon the ninth of November, the award of .the usual baronetcy, would, under ordinary circumstances, have been a matter of some little difficulty, or, at any rate, of some little delicacy at the date of his Royal High ness attaining his majority ! It is especially a matter of difficulty:or delicacy under existing cir cumstances. For, in the first place, the bewilder ment is, of course, as to which of the two Lord Mayors ought in reason and by right to obtain the baronetcy P Ought it to be the in-coming Lord Mayor or the out-going Lord Mayor -a ROSE or a CUBITT ? The latter, that is to say the old LORD MAYOR, that ts and not (the LORD MAYOR Elect, the one simply that is to be) has been LORD MAYOR, as it happens, twice over, two years in succession. He has consequently a double prestige at the moment in regard to his claim, a supposed claim in respect to the baronetcy —a double prestige the reward of his merits and popularity. But—added to all this—it so happens that, upon the 9th of November upon which H.R.H. the Prince of WALES comes of age, now in this year of grace, 1862—Lord Mayor CIIBITT will still be Lord Mayor of London ! The Lord Mayor Elect (Mr. ALDERMAN ROSE) not being sworn in (by reason of the 9th falling this year upon a Sunday) :until Monday, the Tenth of November ! Out of this dilemma in regard to the award of the baronetcy, we can recognise no escape but by the doubling of the gift for once—the awarding, that is to say, not of one baronetcy but of two ba ronetcies ! Sworn in though Lord Mayor ROSE has been this day at Gnildhall—it will not be until Monday that he will be officially confirmed in the occupation of the civic chair upon the usual presentation at Westminster. The King of PRUSSIA iS persisting in a course which can have but one of two results. Either he must crush Prussia with his army, or he and his army must humble themselves before the will of the people. rn another speech which he has just deli vered to one of his got-up deputations, he has been uttering again the most offensive despotism, couched as that quality always is, in paternally kind lan guage. He assumes the responsibility of his rebel lion against the constitution he was sworn to main tain. " The great measure"—that, we presume, o declaring that he would spend the nation's money without the nation's leave, and keep a larger army than the nation wished for —this " great measure sprang chiefly from his own initiative." He has a small faction of reactionaries in the country, and a large proportion in the army, who spur him on to this arbitrary and illegal course ; but he is jealous, apparently, of their sharing with him, except as humble accomplices after the fact, the honour of bearding the law of the land, and the represen tatives elected by the people to pronounce the nation's opinion on the very point now in dispute. Ha confesses that the country does not appre ciate his fatherly contempt for its representatives and the law so deeply as he desires, but he is sure they will do so in the end. He has " been afflicted to learn that they have so badly interpreted his language," ;lever seeming to suspect that the peo ple have much more reason to be afflicted by his language. He talks to them of the " kind intentions of himself and his ancestors," which, as the politeness of their representatives has not per mitted any expressed suspicion on that point, are surely quite irrelevant. His subjects will not dis pute with him respecting motives, bat they are warranted in trusting the " wisdom of Parlia- either too childish yet, or too wicked and factious to be trusted to know its own interests. The KING knows them and " GOD will give him strength" to protect them. How can the people but " confide" in so pious a KING. There is, however, doubtless much doubt in Prussian minds whether the inspi ration be from Heaven or from the opposite direc tion, especially when they see that his MAJESTY, whether he care or not for the welfare of the people cares very obviously for the power which shall make him a kind of human deity in Prussia. Love of uncontrolled power is not, in the 19th century, held to be one of the Heaven-born virtues. INAUGURATION OF THE NE TV LORD MAYOR.-(THIS DAY.) This morning the ceremony of swearing in and inducting Mr. William Anderson Rose, alderman of the ward of Queenhithe, the Lord Mayor elect, into the civic chair, took place in the Guildhall, with an imposing ceremonial. Previous to the ceremony a special Court of Aldermen was held in the Council Chamber, at which the Lord Mayor (Alderman Cubitt) presided, when Mr. Alderman Rose was formally introduced, and having- entered into the usual bonds for the performance of his office, a procession was formed, to proceed to the Common Hall to perform the ancient customary formularies. The Lord May A. and the Lord Mayor elect were preceded by the Master and War dens of the Spectacle Makers' Company, the Bridge Master, the City Comptroller, Mr. B. Scott, the Chamberlain, the Town Clerk, the City Reraembrancer, Mr. Secondary Potter, Mr. Under Sheriff Maekrell, Mr. Under Sheriff Farrar, Alderman and Sheriff J. Lawrence, Alderman and Sheriff Hugh Jones, Alderman Sir J. Musgrove, Alder man Sir R. W. Carden, Alderman Sir F. G. Moon, Alder man Wilson, Alderman Sidney, Alderman Allen, Alderman Dakin,and other civic functionaries. The Lord Mayor having taken the chair, and the Court opened, the Town Clerk kneel ing administered the oaths of allegiance and supremacy, and the oath to preserve the rights and privileges of the livery, and for the due performance of the duties appertaining to the office of Lord Mayor, which having been taken and subscribed, the Lord Mayor elect executed the deed of covenant for the due custody of the plate and furni ture of the Mansion• house. Atter the ceremony, Mr. Deddome, the town crier, bearing the mace, advanced from the lower part of the hall, and delivered up the insignia of his office. Mr. Sewell, the sword bearer, al.° advanced and resigned his trust. The City Chamberlain, the eurse Bearer, and the Comptroller of Accounts, also separately advanced in like manner, and delivered up the respective insignia of their offices. Tho Lord Mayor then rose from the chair, and advancing to Alderman Rose, placed the gold collar on his neck, and handing him the gold key of office, inducted him into the chair as Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The officers who had resigned their trust were reappointed. Immediately after the ceremony a Court of Aldermen was held, and Alderman Rose took his seat for the first time as Lord Mayor of London. The usual show and presentation will take place on Monday. FOOD VERSUS FEVER. If the members of the general committee, which has the overlooking of the famine districts of England at this crisis, will bear in mind these pure and easily remembered truths, they may double the value of the money sent them, by their knowledge as to its application; it is for them to see that there enters into the supplies for the support of the people a fair proportion of flesh-forming food ; it is for them to instruct the multitude that there are two ways of laying out their scanty pittances, by one of which they may live, while by the other they must die; it is for them to suggest, through proper and kindly agents, such cheap admixtures of food as may serve to prevent danger ; and, finally, it is an essential part of their duties to institute inquiries into the food resources of England and her colonies, for the purpose of supplying to the districts, now threatened with all the horrors of pestilence, the means of prevention. We urge these duties on the members of the General Committee specially, because they have made themselves the leaders of a great philanthropic movement, and, as it would seem, they are not overhurthened with work. But, in conclusion, there are others than these who should put their hands to the plough. Have men of prac- tical science no duties in this emergency ? If not now, then is science a mere pretence, and all that she has done mere dreamy, inapplicable speculation. There was never in the history of the world any period when science could do so much. All the facts in regard to foods and their respective values have been stated and re-stated ; and on these matters knowledge of the moat valuable kind is ready at hand. The botanist could at once name to the inquirer every vegetable product that is eatable, and its flesh forming value. The zoologist could teach what animal foods are obtained over and above those which we now possess. The chemist, in a doubtful case, by simply deter mining the amount of nitrogen, could describe to a certainty the worth of any product ; and the physiologist, having the weight of a living body given to him, could state with critical nicety the - lowest proportion of milted food that would be positively required to keep that body free from the encroachments of famine plague. It is time, surely, for modern science, either on her own accDunt or on the solicitation of those who are able to call her to their aid, to take part in a great 'national movement for preventing deeper calamities than any we have yet seen. We have onvugL ur votuuteer pLeacners ieeUy, at all times and sea sons, to talk to the poor on abstract and bewildering doctrines, on subjects which are unknown, and, to the human heart, unknowable. Is there no one in this so called utilitarian age prepared to go forth to teach, by written or spoken words, the relation which man holds to the universe around him, and his dependence for health on obedience to certain laws, simple as the elements of lan guage, but eternal as life ?—Social Science Review.

You have assembled here from several provinces in order to give me with one voice an assurance of the fidelity and gratitude excited in you by a great measure which sprang from my ini tiative, and which I will carry out. Undoubtedly the conviction of the benefits of this measure has not yet penetrated as deeply in the mind of the people as I could desire and hope ; but I am sure that its necessity will in the end be recognised. It has been attempted to excite the people against these institutions, as if they did not tend to their good, but I hope that the truth will penetrate, and that my own word will reach the hearts of many of my subjects. I haye certainly been afflicted to learn that they have so badly interpreted my language ; but the time will come—l confidently hope it— when the people will recognise my kindly inten tions, and sustain me with unanimity. Like my ancestors, I have only my people's good before mine eyes and in mine heart; but to my best intentions is often opposed a spirit of contradiction and of false hood which must be broken before true progress can be made by Prussia. Not only has the reorga nisation of the army been imperilled in the Chamber of Deputies, other articles of the budget have also been rejected, the absence of which would essen tially impede the course of the Administration. But the party agitations compromise yet higher in terests—they disturb the religions feeling of my people. This cannot be permitted ; and I will con tribute for my part to the end that the faith may be preserved in the midst of the people. It is impera tive that we should all see to it, that affairs are brought into a better condition, for many appear ances recal the situation of 1848. It is my duty and my will to protect all the precious interests of the country, and I will firmly resist every unjusti fiable demand. God will give me strength to do it. Have confidence in me ; God has never abandoned Prussia." THE LATE COUNTESS ANDREW ZAMOYSKL The Polish Refugees resident in London, anxious to tea tify their sense of national gratitude to, and sympathy with, the loss sustained by Count Andrew Zamoyski in the death of the above lady, which occurred at Warsaw on the 27th of October last, invited him yesterday morning to attend a funeral service at St. George's Cathedral, Southwark, for the repose of her soul. The high mass was celebrated by the Rev. E. Podoleki, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Doyle, Deacon ; the Rev. Canon Daniells, N.G. ; and the Rev. Thomas Moore, when Mozart's " Requiem" was executed by the whole musi cal choir, under the direction of Mr. Luta. In addition to a large attendance of Poles, the church was filled with friends of the Polish cause of ten different nations, including several Russians. The deputed lady, universally esteemed and beloved for the sterling qualities of heart and mind which she particularly displayed during the present sufferings of the country, was the wife of Count Andrew Zamoyski, recently exiled from Poland, who, it will be remembered, when sent away from St. Petersburg by the Emperor, was not allowed to pass through Warsaw to take a last fare well of her. In the midst of his affliction the Count found at least some consolation among his fellow exiles in England, who, poor as they are, covered the ex pense of this religious ceremony, in order to pay a tribute of respect and attachment to this distinguished patriot. His son and his brother, General Count Zamoyski, wore also among those present. GARIBALDI'S WOUND. SURGICAL REPORT. The exploration of General G-aribaldi's wounded foot has furnished us with the following results :- 1. The articulation of the foot is opened by the ball on the internal side. 2. The two malleoles, together with tho internal portion of the articulation, are tumefied. 3, As far as we can judge by external exploration, the ball will be found towards the external part of the articula tion, fixed in the bone.'.. 4. The suppuration is sufficiently good, and not abun dant. 5. The foot is slightly turned inwards. 6. The distance between the two malleoles is greater ou the wounded side by 11 to 11 than on the uninjured side, 7. The exploration of the wound, either with the finger or with instruments, is only indispensable when the cer • tainty is reached that the ball has become mobile, and has neared the surface; such exploration should be followed im mediately by the extraction of the ball. 8. The general health of the patient is excellent. 9. The expectative method (1. e., patience) is the one and only method to be followed in the present moment. It must ho Ph the quality of the pus, the detachment of splinters, or the formation of an abscess, prove the evident necessity, for the extraction of the ball. 10. The method of dressing the wound by the acting doctors leaves nothing to be desired. 11. It is indispensable that the patient be kept in a spacious and well-aired chamber, and that he pass the win. ter in a warm and dry climate. PIROGOFF. R. PARTRIDGE, Spezzia, Oct. 31. CASE OF OF MRS. M•LACHLAN. FINAL DECISION. Mr. Young, the clerk to the Glasgow Prison Board, this (Friday) morning received the following comnaunication from the Crown agent, Edinburgh " Crown-office, Edinburgh, Nov, 6, 1862. 44 Sir,—l beg to inform you that I have received her Majesty's conditional pardon in favour of Jessie M'lntosh or M'Lachlan, who was, at a Circuit Court of Justiciary, holden at Glasgow in September, 1862, convicted of murder, and sentenced to death for the same, pardoning the said Jessie M'lntosh or M'Lachlan of the said crime and sen tence passed upon her for the same, upon condition of her being kept in penal servitude for the term of her natural life. " I have therefore to request that you intimate such con ditional pardon to the said Jessie M'lntosh or M'Lachlan, and acknowledge the receipt of thisletter.—l am, Sir, your moat obedient servant, " ANDREW MURRAY, Crown Agent. " The Clerk to the Prison Board, Glasgow." Mr. Young, clerk to the Prison Board, - proceeded to the prison, along with the governor and matron, and read the communication to Mrs. M'Lachlan, which was received by her in a quiet and cool manner. DEAIH FROM EXCITEMENT. Yesterday evening Mr. Laugh= held an inquest at the Prince of Orange, Brewer's-green, Westminster, touching the death of William Kennedy, aged 36, a cab-driver, lately residing at 6, Garden-place, Regent-street, Lambeth walk, who died suddenly on Tuesday evening last, under the following singular circumstances : John Morfew, a labourer, deposed that on Tuesday night last, about nine o'clock, he was passing along Besborough place, Pimlico, when his attention was attracted by the cries of a female who was standing by the door of a cab in the road. She asked him to get a drop of water for Eer poor husband, whom she thought was dying, He then saw the man sitting at the bottom of the cab who appeared in an insensible state, and witness jumped on the box and drove him to Mr. Hunt's, a surgeon, in Tachbrook-street, who pronounced him dead. The female said deceased was her husband, and she had not seen him for three weeks. John Hunt, surgeon, of 8, Tachbrook-street, said deceased was brought to him on Tuesday night by the last witness. He looked into the cab, and found the man was dead. He had since made a post-mortsm examination of the body, and found extensive disease of the heart and other vital organs. The disease of the heart was such as probably to cause any excitement to have a fatal effect. Deceased's wife told witness that she had not seen her hus band for three weeks, and he (witness) thought the excite ment of meeting her under such circumstances quite enough to account for the man's sudden death. It was a wonder, in his state of disease, that ho had lived so long. The Coroner having summed up, a verdict was returned according to the medical evidence, GARIBALDI CITY MEETING.—On Thursday a meeting of the committee was held at 30, Bishopsgate-street Without, for the purpose of finally closing the business connected with the late demonstration in the City in favour of Garibaldi and Italy, C.

POISONING BY STRYCHNINE. On Thursday Mr. Reed, the coroner for South Northumberland, held an adjourned inquest in the Town-hall, North Shields, on the body of Mrs. Jane Gilhespie, wife of Martin Gilhespie, a mariner. It appeared that the deceased, for some three weeks before her death, had been suffering from disease of the lungs, and had attended the surgery of Dr. Fenwick, who had prescribed for her. She had taken two bottles of medicine, snd on the 10th of October had procured a third. The day following she began her usual household work, and between 9 and and 10 o'clock in the forenoon she took two spoonsful of the medicine from this bottle. She was immediately attacked by an alarming illness. Her hands became clinched, and her toes were also drawn up upon the soles of her feet, and her back became bent. She appeared to be in great agony, and died within an hour and a quarter of her first attack. Dr. Fen wick and his partner, Dr. Peart, made sub sequently a post mortem examination of the body ; Dr. Fenwick making out a certificate for the Re gister of Deaths afterwards that the deceased had died of an attack of bronchitis and congestion of the lungs. After the funeral of his wife, how ever, Gilhespie 11,:d submitted a portion of the contents of the last bottle of medicine, alleged to have been proved at Dr. FenwiclL's surgery, to Mr. Pattison, a chymist at New castle-on-Tyne, and that gentleman, after analyz ing it, gave a certificate that it contained one grain and a quarter of strychnine to the fluid ounce. Having received this certificate, the Coroner gave an order for the disinterment of the body and a second post mortem examination. It was exhumed in the presence of Dr. Newton, of Newcastle, and several other medical men, who made a second post mortem examination. The body was found to be tolerably healthy, with the exception of the brain and a portion of the spinal cord. Portions of the viscera were placed in jars and sealed, and delivered to Mr. Pattison. Some of the medicine was conse quently administered to two rabbits, half an ounce to one, and about 40 drops to the other. The first died of tetanic convulsions in two minutes, and the other in a similar manner in five minutes, and a drop of an acidulated solution of the residue from the stomach and duodenum brought in contact with the skin of a young frog produced violent convulsions. Three or four additional drops were applied, with intermissions, and it died at the expiration of half an hour. As the result of the analysis, experiments with portions of the stomach and duodenum of the deceased showed the strychnine colours distinctly. Dr. Newton made an elaborate report to the coroner's court. He said he was of opinion that deceased had. died from the effects of strychnine. Dr. Wm. Murray, demonstrator of anatomy at Neville Hall, Newcastle, expressed the same opinion. Dr, Fenwick made a lengthened statement on oath to show that the appearance of the lungs was such as to warrant him in giving the certificate that the deceased had. died from the effects of congestion of the lungs. If the death of Mrs.Gilhespie had arisen from strych nine from a bottle, sent by mistake from hia sur gery,he said he could only account for it by the fact that one of his dispensers must have mistaken a bottle containing that poison in solution for a bottle containing a solution of antimony. Both bottles were marked " poison." The prescription Dr. Fen. wick sent to the surgery to be made up for Mrs. Gilhespie on the 10th of October was as follows :- 2 grains of tartar emetic, loz. of Epsom salts, suffi cient spirit colour to colour the mixture, and Boz. of water. AN HOUR AT 7HE POST. A SCENE IN THE HOUGHTON. " Where will you go now ?" Well, let us drive down and see the start for this Selling Handicap, over the last half of the Abingdon Mile." And we drive down accordingly in good time to witness a tolerably fair sample of what such a scurry really is, if not precisely what it should be. There is a field of nearly 20 for it, with lots of light weights of course, and two or three of the older jockeys to give them countenance—Ford ham, in the scarlet jacket of Mr. Thellusson ; Challoner, as quiet as usual ; and Bullock, humming a nigger melody, on the good-looking game Bolero, who appears to take matters quite as easily as his jockey. Then there is that wonderful lad Grimshaw, sitting so firmly on Buck, and about to ask him a question ? with others of the feathers creeping up, and Adams amongst them on one of Mr. Wyndham's, that Sam Rogers himself owns to hardly being able to hold. The time for " departure-2,15," as they say on the line, is just up, and M'George essays to marshal them into something like a line. Vain hope that is is I There ts one young gentleman wno would seem to think it only a duty to keep "forward," while the animal ridden by another evinces extraordinary instinct, becoming noticeably restive and fractious if not, suffered is be about 50 lengths in advance of her fellows. There is much manifest working of hands and kicking of heels on the part of her jockey, but she will not come to any closer quarters, and so the others, having got into something like a body, proceed, amidst sundry remonstrances of " No, no," to start themselves. The Flower Safety is pretty well home before she is stopped, while Buck 1 thanks to the rare handling of his rider, comes round in a half circle at pretty well full speed up to the post again. Once more do they gather together, always with the exception of the youth who will be in front, and the fractious filly which stops so strangely at the starter's orders to " Come back I" Still some do fall in, and amidst further cries of " No, no," a they go again, thoroughly heedless of the starter and his behests. Buck takes another turn ; and the Flower Safety, who does not appear by any means to carry out her title, is lost in the distance, as she wends her way to the top of the town. Let us say that this amusement has continued for upwards of half an hour or more, and that a great accession of visitors has gradually joined us at the post, one and all seeing that it is next impossible to get such disorderlies 9 0 these off on anything like equal terms. At length down comes the Admiral, and " Take them back, sir, two hun dred yards or more 1" is his instant order to the hapless starter; while his eye next rests on the sagacious but res tive filly. "And you, sir, take your horse to the others, and if I see you this side of the post again I'll fine you five pounds I" Strange, indeed, is the instinct of that noble animal, the horse 1 for no sooner does the 0 1 1 hear this threat uttered, than she calmly proceeds to join the rest of the field, and is never again so li past the post until they are off in another false start! Bolero takes it as coolly as usual, and is pulled up by the fine horseman on him in a few strides, and Fordham is 1 101 far away ; but Buck has another " once round" to himself' Ind the glasses are up to see what that is careering in ; 126 hazy distance, some two miles on. It is The Flower Safety, of course, and Woolcott rides up to Lord Covent ti to say they need not wait any longer for his mare, as he thinks she has had abo u t enoug h o f it ; an d we t hi n k so too; Still there is plenty of time, my good sir, and after another scamper or two The Hower Safety comes trotting beet with a bigger lad on her back,and her jockey riding a pony by her side. However, he is definitely ordered off, as the. Admiral apostrophises the others as " a some thi n g lot of young fools,"and angrily inquires of M'Geor ge if he " eve r means to start them ? There is something more in e ll undertone, and then, " Give me the flag, sir, and let me d° it 1" The hapless man lowers his flag instanter, the one itz front does the same, and amidst roars of " No a start I"—" It's not 1"—" Yes 1' —"Northeyare scramb ling way, and we hear shouts Pr no"--`: ff It a s t last—or,at least, some of them,in the most wretched afar that "the n iain pots" are upset afterall,while a kin f telegram come s ooz i n g down that the lad in the dirty white jacket i s fi rs t , w ith twenty to one against him. W e e had rather n o t ec h o the bit of recriminationwhich f o llows at the p os t , b ut we w ill try and draw some deduction from the fift y odd minute s we have spent here. No man could fairl y h ave started th at field of horses u ntil the Admiral c ame d own, for some a t h e great source of all evil —let a steward be light weightsc artel' ontinnel,— th a e u l at the post to see fair, but on nowhat everthe jockeys tooakndn no half heed milew hsapt spins are ot t t o h e be st pretence to interfere with the duty of the starter any m ere , than he would with that of the judge. Moreover, le; the most stringent measures be adopted. Fines are h ai e w re a,y i s s litle use, as they ar e generally paid by those wh o order the lads to ge t " well off. " The rather let a hors e, whose jockey i s proved to have taken, or attempted to tak e ' an unfair advantage of the others at starting, be as certainly disqualified as if he had crossed or jostled in the race itself. This would spoil the betting on "pots," as bets would g° with stakes, and thus do away with the great incentive for the evil. An offender might thus be ordered away from the post, or obj ec t e d t o w h en t h e race was over ; course, the chief evidence against him would be that .o: the starter and the steward in attendance. One thing 1 very palpable, that the former must be supported and not .. put their tongues in their cheeks and laugh at F f : bullied, or the little lads will only follow the example, hi and all we witnessed on Thursday afternoon they must re foil office. it altogether," or no man can long h old so thankless all LAMBETH BRIDGE. —The opening of this neW bridge for public traffic is to take place on Monda y next, by which time the whole will be completed.
