By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little hort of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

The troopship La Hogue, Commander Williams, 107 days out from Sydney, arrived at Gravesend on Saturday afternoon, with a party of invalid troops on board, from Australia, consisting of 24 men of the 77th Regiment, 12 men of the 12th Regment, and 5 men of the 11th Regiment, with 5 women and 9 children, the whole in charge of Capt. T. G. Versker, 12th Regiment. Orders have been received at Chatham dockyard for a 91 gun line-of-battle screw steamer, to be called the Bulwark, to be immediately laid down on No. 6 slip, from which the Hood, 91, was recently launched. The screw steam frigate Curacoa, 31, Capt. T. H. Mason, from the United States, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday with Lord Napier, late Minister at Washington. His lordship and family were con veyed from the Sound by the steamer Vivid to Mount Wise, whera.they were 'received on landing by Port-Admiral Sir Barrington Reynolds, K.C.B. Lord Napier left Plymouth in the afternoon by the South Devon Railway for Torquay. His Netherlands Majesty's corvette Nyord sailed from Plymouth on Thursday for Gothenburg. The paddlewheel steam vessel Avon, 3 (tender to the Impregnable), Second Master J. H. Lawrence, commanding, from Ireland, with Mr. Paul, assist.- master attendant, Devonport Dockyard, and 180 supernumeraries, arrived at Plymouth on Friday morning, and left again in the afternoon for Sheer. ness, with 80 men for the screw steam guardship of ordinary Cressy, 80, Capt. Edward P. Halstead. Port-Admiral Sir Barrington Reynolds, K.C.8., went out in his barge on Friday morning, and mustered the crew of the steamship James Watt, Capt. E. Codd, in Plymouth Sound. Pendants were hoisted on board the Intrepid, 6, and the Brisk, 16, at Devo.iport on Friday morning. The gunboat Goldfinch was undocked at Devon port on Friday. Mr. J. Bradbury, gunner, of the screw steamship Exmouth, 90, at Devonport, who unfortunately fell down the hatchway a few days ago, died on Thurs day night. The screw steamship St. George. 91, was removed from Keyham Basin on Friday to the dockyard jetty at Devonport. The screw steamship Revenge, 91, was appointed to leave Pembroke for Plymouth on Saturday. The crew of the screw steamship James Watt, 91, Capt. E. Codd, were paid advance of wages on Friday afternoon at Plymouth. She is ordered to proceed to Portland, and left under canvas yester day (Sunday) morning. The crew of the gunnery ship Cambridge, Capt. Jerningham, at Plymouth, were paid wages on Thursday. The brig Nautilus, 6, Lieut. W. B. Grant, tender to the Impregnable, from Falmouth, arrived at Ply - mouth on Friday. The screw steam storeship Industry, 2, Master- Commander Hodges, from the Cape of Good Hope, arrived in Plymouth on Saturday. 'f he gunboat Bitter, tender to the Blenheim, 60, at Portland, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday for stores. The Aboukir, 90, was towed down on Saturday from Hamoaze to Devonport to get her yards and other spars on board, for the purpose of being fur ther advanced. Two new vessels—the Repulse, 91, and the Wol verine, 21, screw corvette—were commenced dur ing the past week on No. 1 and No. 6 slips at Woolwich Dockyard. A number of engineers have volunteered from Woolwich dockyard factory for service in the Royal navy, and have passed a successful examina tion for service as third-class assistants. In connection with the eccentric hook-block so favourably reported on by the official authorities at Portsmouth Dockyard, their use will be applied to her Majesty's yacht, and also to, the Gorgon, 6, paddle. The block is available for many useful purposes besides boats, and has been patented by Lieutenant Wm. Clark, R.N. _ Detachments of Royal Marines were on Satur day embarked from Woolwich for her Majesty's paddlewheel steam sloop Gorgon, despatch vessel Banshee, steam frigate Firebrand, and the 84-gun ship Asia, recently commissioned. Her Majesty's steam sloop Driver, at Sheerness, is ordered up to Woolwich to be pushed forward for being docked ; and the iron paddlewheel steam-vessel Bloodhound and the steam-sloop Prometheus, at Woolwich, are ordered to be got ready for the pennant. The transport schooners Anne. and Charlotte, Arthur Wyatt, and Henry have shipped 117 heavy siege guns and full cargoes of war stores at Wool wich, under orders for Portsmouth. Twenty heavy loads of 8-inch shell and 32-pounder case and grape shot were on Saturday despatched to the various stations on the coast of Sussex, and the other coast stations have been similarly supplied from the Royal Arsenal. The Mediterranean dependencies have received respectively a large amount of every conceivable kind of war material, which it is in tended still to increase. Notwithstanding that the establishment of Woolwich is at the present mo ment over the scale employed at any other period, the urgency of the present demands has necessitated a considerable increase, which is ordered to be made this morning (Monday.) The Royal Carriage, the Laboratories, and the Military Store Depart ments have issued announcements for additional hands to be taken on this (Monday) morning. The Laboratory Department has undertaken to turn out the enormous amount of 20,000 68-pounder shot daily, exclusive of the manifold offices of ordi nary occurrence, which will likewise be aug mented. The following appointments were made on Sa turda at the Admiralty :—Captain H. S. Hillyar, C.B. 1854), to the Cadmus ; Commander Colin A. Camp ell, to the Banshee ; W. E. Fisher, to the Ferret ; and Edmund Wilson, to the Atholl ; Lieu tenants J. R. Barnett, to the Firebrand; H. N. Knox, to the Royal Adelaide; and Neale D. F. Lillingstone, to the Cadmus ; and Edwin Wise, master, to the Cadmus. A FIFTY-GUN FRIGATE CUT ASUNDER.—The operation of launching the after part of the Severn, 50, sailing vessel, took place on Saturday at Chat ham, in the presence of the Captain Superintendent Goldsmith, 0. W: Lang, Esq., master shipwright, and the other officers of the yard. There were also present a considerable number of spectators, drawn together to witness so novel and interesting a sight —the ship having been cut through in midships. By the operation an additional length will be given in midships of 51 feet. She is also to be lengthened both fore and aft to 91 feet ; consequently, when completed, the extreme length will be 326 feet. 7HE SUSPECTED CASE OF POISONING AT RICHIIOND. AN APPARENT SECOND " PALMER."— ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. RICHMOND, SATURDAY. On Saturday, being the court day of the Rich mond Petty Sessions, a great number of persons assembled at the Court-house, with the view of ob taining admission for the purpose of hearing the expected re-examination of Dr. Smethurst, a tem porary resident of Richmond, who stands charged with the wilful murder of a lady, named Isabella Bankes, with whom he was living, by the adminis tration of arsenic in small quantities. Owing, however, to the analyses not being completed, the case was further adjourned. Since the decease of the unfortunate lady addi tional facts have come to light warranting very strong suspicion of the guilt of the accused. It appears that about a week since, a solicitor in the town completed the will of the deceased in favour of the accused, and which, it is believed, will be pro duced in evidence at the next examination ; and the result of the post mortem proved that the deceased was enceinte. The following are the entire facts of this extra ordinary case, which have not yet appeared : The deceased wits a single lady of 36 years of age, and Dr. Thomas Smethurst, nine years her senior, and both possessed of considerable property. Dr. Smethurst. and his wife were residing at a boarding-house in Bayswater, as was also the de ceased. An intimacy sprang up between Dr. Smethurst and the deceased, leading to an elope ment, and after visiting Brighton and various other fashionable places, they at length came to Rich mond about nine weeks since, residing first at Richmond-green, and latterly at No. 10, Alma villas, Richmond-hill, where the deceased now lies. On the 3d of April Dr. F. G. Julius was called in to attend the deceased, who was suffering from diarrhoea and vomiting. He believed it was bilious diarrhoea, there being nothing to lead to suspicion. He administered various treatments in conjunction with Dr. Smethurst, and with his sanction. He gave nothing of a metal kind. On the 18th he be came puzzled, and requested his partner, Mr. Bird, to go in, the result being an opinion that some thing was being given to keep up the irritation. The lady got worse, with constant vomiting and diarrhoea. Dr. Smethurst removed the vomitings and evacuations from the room. Nothing appa rently could exceed his care and attention. Dr. Todd, with Dr. Smethurst's sanction, came down from King's College and prescribed; the prescrip tions were in accordance with the treatment already pursued, and were calculated to allay the irritation, but the symptoms became aggravated. On the fol lowing Friday, during Dr. Smethurst's temporary ab sence, a portion of an evacuation just passed was placed in two bottles and sent to London for analysation ; and on Reinsch's preliminary test being applied, viz., the introduction of fine copper wire into the liquid, the wire became crusted with some metallic substance, proving the presence of some metal. The bottles subsequently fell under the notice of Pro fessor Taylor, who upon testing, finding the pre sence of arsenic, sought the magisterial authority for a full analysation, which being obtained the following letter to Dr. Julius was the result : " 15, St. James's-terrace, Regent's-park, May 2. " Sir,—ln accordance with the instructions contained in your letter of yesterday's date I have made a further exami nation of the liquid, No. 2, delivered to me by Mr. Buzzard yesterday evening, and I have to report to y-outhat this liquid contained a small quantity of Irsenic. The liquid consists of watery mucus, bile, albumen (from serum), and a small quantity of the colouring matter of blood. The arsenic is 1114 combination with these matters. It is such a liquid as accompanies arsenic when this substance is a cause of poisoning. Considering the symptoms from which Mrs. Smethurst has suffered (as described to me by Mr. Buzzard), and the discovery of arsenic in the evacuations of the bowels, I am of opmion that this lady is suffering from the effects of arsenical . poison taken in small doses ; and, ac cording to the advice which I have had occasion to give in similar cases, I would suggest that she be immediately placed under the care of some trustworthy person, by whom alone all articles of food and medicine should be ad ministered. I believe that her life will depend upon the immediate and strict adoption of these preventions, as arsenic is in her body, and is now passing from her in the discharges from her bowels.—l am, sir, &c., " ALFRED S. TAYLOR, M.D. F.R.S., Professor of Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence in Guy's Hospital." Immediately on the receipt of this opinion, deem ing the lady's life in danger, Dr. Julius felt it in cumbent on him to lay the case before a magistrate, and upon his, testimony E. Penryhn, Esq., granted a warrant against Dr. Smethurst, and he was appre hended by Police-constable Jukes, V division, on a charge of attempt to poison, when upon the evidence of Dr. Julius, Mr. Bird, and Mr. Buzzard, Bachelor of Medicine, and M.C.S., of 41, Great Marlborough street, the case was remanded, Dr. Smethurst being admitted to bail. The following morning the lady died, and from what had subsequently transpired it was :deemed expedient to issue a warrant and apprehend Dr. Smethurst on a charge of wilful murder, which was accordingly done. A post mortem examination was then ordered by Mr. W. Carter, the coroner, and Mr. Julius thereupon in structed Mr. Richard Barwell, of Charing-cross Hospital, and Mr. Palmer, a surgeon of Mortlake, to examine the body, which they did in his presence. Externally the body exhibited no particular appear ances other than those of ordinary death. There was great rigour of the lower extremities. The brain, lungs, and heart were perfectly healthy. The intestinal canal and stomach were placed in a jar sealed, and forwarded to Dr. Taylor. The womb showed an early condition of pregnancy. The cause of death was believed to be chronic inflammation of the stomach and bowels. Professor Taylor having received authority to proceed with the analysation, examined the bottle No. 2, in which there were four ounces of fluid, the result confirming his previous conclusion that there was decidedly arsenic in the liquid. There was no antimony, mercury, or bismuth. He found mucus, bile, and fibrous matter, and under the microscope those facts were presented which, in a case of poisoning by arsenic, were always to be detected. The quantity of arsenic was very small, less than a quarter of a grain in the four ounces. The effect of small doses continually administered, would be to cause great irritation of the bowels, vomiting, and purging of mucus and blood, with biliary matter. The symptoms under which the lady had suffered were precisely such as would be pro duced by such treatment, while the medicine which had been given would have the opposite effect: Susannah Angelina Wheatley,. wife of a butler in a Dr and Mrs. Smethurst, g lo en , tAlelmmaany'silflaams,ilyee, e a i n v d ed occu . pier of the house, No. as lodgers, letting them a sitting-room and bedroom came on Fri frooroml6ws.aaa wdaewekn,atianicrlau.d.wingheanttethnedalandcye.

(From the Times) The predicted battle between- the Austrian 'in vaders and the French and Sardinian defenders of Piedmont has not yet been fought, and the parties preserve the relative positions which they occupied when we last _epitomized the news of the campaign. The Austrians are still continuing what the Aus trian General properly calls " demonstrations," They extended their lines, or pushed forward their advanced guard, as far as Trino, a few miles beyond Casale, on the road to Turin, and they have since withdrawn this movement and fallen back again to Vercelli, a town which, although in the neighbour hood of the threatened fortress of Casale, is some miles to the north, and away from the river. They also have intermitted for the oment their attempts to pass the Po, they have withdrawn the troops they had thrown across the river, and they have allowed the Sardinians to seize the few military stores that had been placed on the southern bank. A telegram has' also stated that the Austrians have evacuated Tortona and Voghera. Now, these two towns are on the southern bank of the Po, and ap proximate-closely. to the plain of Marengo, now oc cupied in force by the French. Tornona and Vog hera are names conspicuous the accounts of the great battle of Marengo, and on the morning of that day they were in the possession of the French. They were in this campaign occupied by the Aus trians, who to hold them must have pushed forward some of their reserves at Pavia and Piacenza, thus threatening the right flank of the Franco •Sardinian army, and the communication between Alessandria and Genoa. The troops withdrawn from Tortona and Voghera would naturally retire upon Pavia and Piacenza, and circumstances seem to indicate that the Austrians anticipate that the fortress of Pia cenza, which they have so carefully fortified and extended, in fraud of that clause in the Treaty of Vienna which gave them possession only of the little citadel of the old uufortified town, is soon about to have its strength tested by a siege. Still later telegrams, which bring down to the date of last night such news as Europe is permitted to receive, do not greatly vary the position of affairs. It appears that the Austrian troops, which, as we have above stated, had occupied Vercelli, had marched towards Gattinari, which is situated some miles to the north of Vercelli, and on the line of the river Sesia ; and the information already received that the Austrians are fortifying their position on the Sesia is confirmed. The official bulletin from Turin states also that General Della Marmora has made the river Dora his strategical line ; g,nd if we could rely upon this as a fact we might infer from ' it that fears were still entertained for the safety of Turin, and that the division of the Austrian army which advanced from the Lago Maggiore, and has not since been heard of, causes disquietude. It was along the valleys that lead from the Grand St. Bernard down to theline of the Dora that Napo leon advanced in his campaign of 1800. We can not, however, lay any stress upon what may be said in an official bulletin as to future strategics, for no General ever yet published th 9 plans of his cam• paign, except for the purpose of deceiving his adversary. All that the news from the seat of war up to last night amounts to is, that the Austrians are marchin and countermarching on the northern bank of the 'Po; that they are occupying the line of the Sesia—a river which flows through the broadest part of the level plain down into the Po ; that they are intrenching themselves on the Sesia, and that they have withdrawn those troops whose position upon the right flank of the French seemed likely to bring on a collision near ,the plain of Marengo. These small manoeuvres are not very significant in themselves, for they are capable of various in terpretations, and military critics are divided as to whether the Austrian is concentrating his force for a great effort, or cautiously withdrawing in retreat. No doubt, the present position of General Gyulai is one which, if not of immediate peril, is of great embarrassment. He has advanced into a country which has become a swamp, and ''orse than a swamp, and he has a swollen river between him j and the hill country, where he might find firm footing and a strong enemy. It is contrary to the character of an invader to stand still. Rapid pro gress is one of the conditions which he accepts when he takes upon him that character. If Gyulai halts long in those rice-fields he must expect to have his army reduced by ague and dysentery more certainly than by the sword, and would have no advantage to show against the loss of his troops, except some contributions levied from the Sardi nian towns, and the satisfaction of encamping upon the patrimonial possessions of Austria's great enemy, Count Cavour. All things counsel an early movement on the part of the Austrians, and there is a remarkable concurrence of opinion both at Vienna and Turin that the object of the first blow is Casale. The Austrians are moving by various roads upon this point, and that they are as rapidly as possible pushing up reinforcements and bring ing up stores appears sufficiently by the activity kept up upon the railways in their rear—an activity which sometimes degenerates into con fusion, as may be noted in that terrible accident which has, on the Verona Railway, exploded am munition waggons, and killed and wounded nearly 150 Austrian soldiers. The position is very new, and, in a military point of view, very in structive. For the first time we see two large armies encamped in immediate contiguity, and in possession of all the new facilities which it has been anticipated will change the art of war. Be hind the Austrian lines there is a network of rail ways, which keep open a communication with all Europe, and which can deliver in General Gyulai's camp all the resources of A us t r i a an d Lombardy. In the same manner steam brings to Genoa and deposits at the foot of the Cenis all the power of France, and railways in the rear of the allied position distribute that power at Genoa, Alessan dria, or Turin, and redistribute it from hour to hour as the exigencies of the war may render expedient. These two armies ought to have no difficulty in obtaining the utmost possible con centration of military power. There needs be no intermission in the arrival of men and arms and provisions and military stores, and of artillery to any amount. The Generals can play out their match without being at any trouble about the in struments of their game; the board is before them, and the pieces are at hand. The facilities for the contest, therefore, are more equal than was calcu lated when Austria first appeared as a challenger. Our correspondent at Vienna calculates the strength of the Austrian invading army at 120,000, and from Turin we have an estimate that 80,000 Frenchmen have already reached the Sardinian States, and that the Piedmontese would be under estimated at less thin 65,000 good troops. These numbers may well incline General Gyulai to caw• tion and concentration. The country in which he finds himself is full of historic precedents not en couraging to Austrian Generals. He must know all the details of the campaign of 1796, when the young General Bonaparte seized upon the Piedmontese fortresses, and drove the Austrians before him out of Sardinia and Lombardy ; and General Hess, at least, can remember the circumstances of that campaign of 1800, when the First Consul crossed the Grand St. Bernard, and threw himself between the Austrians and their communications with Lom bardy. The Austrian Generals have, doubtless, much meditated upon these precedents, which, although they point to disaster, yet mark that Austrian sluggishness and Fren c h promptitude were the causes of Napoleon's success ; and these events of the present moment, read by past lights, give likelihood to the general expectation that a battle must be fought either on the plain of Marengo or under the walls of Casale. But the Emperor of the French is about on Tuesday next to set out to take the command of the army, and in his motley suite will be found chiefs of all the nationalities. As he goes to make history he carries also with him his bureau historique, and we shall, doubtless, then have more important events to chronicle than those which have yet occurred. When Louis XIV. set out for the camp it used to be considered as a proof that matters were thought to be going well, and that the particular city then beleagured was in extremity. When the Emperor Napoleon 111. reaches Genoa we must expect that it will be to inaugurate his military career by some great movement decisive of the con flict he has thus provoked. The world is waiting with an eager curiosity to judge of the debut of this Emperor General, uncertain whether they will be forced to admire or only tempted to declare that he had better have stayed at home. THE ARMY. The 2d battalion of the 22d Regiment has been presented with new colours before embarking for the Mediterranean. The ceremony tookplace on the Queen's Parade-ground, South Camp, Aldershott. There was a very distinguished company present, among whom were Lieut.-Gen..Knollys, command ant of the garrison; Major-Gen. Paulett, Major- Gen. Spencer, and a large and brilliant staff. The colours were consecrated by the Rev. C. Kingsley, and the ceremonyof presentation was performed by the wife of Colonel Napier. Having handed the colours to the junior ensigns, Mrs. Napi er ad dressed the officers and soldiers of the regiment. She said,— I , 4 It is with great pride a n d d e li ght, though with much yo ut the 3 withme mory your colours,of your formerbecause G diffidence, that I have accepte d your invitation to present entirely to the admir a ti on and affection which you still b ear to e f n ee era l t l h , a s t i l r o c w h e ar t l h e i s s N lo a n p o ie ur r, and it is because I a m hi s daughter that you have wished to receive these colours from my hands To ask any lady to present to a regiment its colours must always be considered by her to be a great compliment ; but how much more m ust I feel it so, wh o from my earliest years have been aeons -tamed to hear the praises of the glorious 22d—the regiment whom my father loved, the regiment to whom he owed his vic tories, and the regiment who won the battles of Meeanee and Hyderabad 1 Take, then, your colours, second battalion of that distinguished regiment, and re member in the hour of battle and of danger that you. bear on these colours a number which is a warrant of high cou rage and discipline—the numberof aregunent to which any soldier may w e ll be proud to belong. I will say nothing of the duty whicb.you owe to thosecolours, because, as a sol dier's daughter, and as a soldier's wi fe, I well knew that the devotion of British soldiers to their colours can never be surpassed, and, moreover, as a woman, it would not be come me to dilate on the duties of soldiers I will there fore now take my leave of you with this message from your present colonel, Sir William Napier—that he feels as much for• the honour of the regiment. although he never had the good fortune to serve with it, and as deeply as if he had been all his life in the midst of you. Farewell, then, 22d Regiment f You are now about to proceed abroad, and, may be, ere long, to unfurl those colours on the field of battle. If such should be your destiny, lam confident that under the leading of your present commander, Lient.-Col. Anderson, you will nobly inscribe upon them names as glorious as those which adorn the proud banners of your first battalion." Lieut.-Col. Anderson thanked Mrs. Napier for pre senting the colours to the regiment. The ceremony of " trooping the colours" next took place, and the regiment having been inspected by Mrs. Napier, the men were dismissed to barracks. The Ist battalion Rifle Brigade arrived at Ports mouth for garrison duty from Newcastle on Saturday. The following officers and troops of the 100th (Prince of Wales's Royal Canadian) Regiment em barked on board the Urgent screw steam troopship, Commander Hire, at Portsmouth on Saturday : Lieut.-Col. De Rottenburgh, C. 8., Major Dunn, Capts. Lake, Cooke, Smythe, Clarke, and Price, Lieuts. Lamb, Casault, Rykert, Duchesnay, and. Walls, Ensigns Moorsom, Ridout, Davidson, Boul ton, Clarke, and Baldwin, Paymaster Hutchinson, Surg. Ingham, Assist.-Surg. Murray, and Adjt. Lee, 34 sergeants, 14 drummers, 27 corporals, 465 privates, 54 women, 81 children, and 3 horses. In steaming out of the harbour the Urgent fouled the Partridge gunboat, carrying away the foremast of the latter, and receiving some slight damage herself. Shipwrights were despatched to Spithead (where she had brought up to receive on board the re• mainder of the regimental baggage) to repair the Urgent's damages. She sailed from Spithead for her destination (Gibraltar) yesterday morning at day light. We arc informed from the highest official autho rity, that the rumour which has been circulated of the intention of quartering cavalry and regiments of the line at Woolwich is without the slightest foundation in fact. The garrison at the present moment is crowded with the various corps of Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, and Royal Marines. Yesterday orders were issued at the head-quarters of the Royal Engineers, Chatham, for the 29th company, with a detachment of the 9th company, - to proceed this morning to Portsmouth, where they are to embark for Corfu. The 28th company will embark to-morrow morning for Malta, together with detachments of the 17th and 24th companies. The 18th company Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt. R. Hawthorn, is ordered to be raised to its proper strength, and is to proceed from Chatham to Weymouth, for the purpose of being employed in the completion of the fortifications which have recently been erected in the vicinity of that town. -rte /% ~__ PRICE 4 D • STAMPED, SD. THE MILITIA. The Northumberland Artillery Militia, at pre sent at Hexham for permanent duty, have received orders to be in readiness to proceed to Liverpool. The Norfolk Artillery Militia have left Great Yarmouth for Sheerness. The regiment is 400 strong. About 200 of the Louth Rifles have also left the Arsenal at Yarmouth, for Deptford. ALEXANDER VON B UMBOLDT. Alexander von Humboldt is dead. When Sir Robert Peel died the English nation testified its appreciation of his services to his country by an un— mistakeable mourning. Every ship in the Thames lowered its flag, every shop put up its shutters. This, however, simply concerned England, and the mark of esteem to the great departed was restricted to one country. The same might be said of Wel lington. To write a notice of Humboldt is no easy task. His canvas was the universe, and he used his pencil with a master hand. His mind grasped with iron strength everything it met, and, instead of being woakened by the immensity it was brought in contact with, its appetite grew with what it fed upon. To English readers Humboldt is best known by his latest work, " Kosmos," a work which alone would suffice to render his name immortal. But to the cosmopolitan reader Humboldt is better known. His merits are of such transcendant qua- 14 that praise is out of place. It may, however, be of interest to some of our readers to give a brief sketch of this European cele brity. Alexander von Humboldt was born at Berlin on the 14th of September. 1769. He was an under graduate at Gottingen, which university be left for Frankfort-on-the-Oder. Geography and Geology were his chief studies. His intelligence and zeal were not overlooked by the Government. In 1795 he was sent by the Prussian Government to study the nature of the volcanic eruptions of Vesuvius. Humboldt's mind took a wider range. He aspired to investigate regions unknown. Africa was his object. He went to Marseilles and joined Bonpland, who was on the point of starting on a similar mis sion, with the intention of accompanying him. This plan failed, but through the interest of Baron Forell, the Saxon Ambassador, Humboldt obtained permission and. authority to make a scientific tour of Spanish America. During 18 months Humboldt examined geologically and geographically every part of Venezuela, the Orinoco, and the Rio Negro. He afterwards visited Bogota, the Cor dilleras, and Quito. At this latter place Humboldt, at great personal risk, investigated the volcaniC mountains. He spent some time at Lima. In August, 1804, Humboldt lauded at Havre, rich in experience, and with an invaluable collection of specimens of geological and botanical interest. Humboldt fixed his residence at Paris, taking an occasional trip to London ; but Prussia could not spare so valuable a man, and the King requested Humboldt to return. The King made him a Privy Councillor, and offered him various diplomatic mis sions. Mountains, not men, were Humboldt's object. He wished to explose the Andes and the Himalayas, to make a comparison of their respective dimensions. This plan failed. He, however, succeded in another. He started for Siberia, and then visited the chief cities of Russia. There is not one branch of science 1 to which Humboldt has not contributed something —nay, much. The powers of his mind seemed to increase as they produced. The friend of Kings, he was a Liberal. He took a large view of the world in a political sense while investigating with the utmost minuteness the conformation of some unknown substance. Doubtless we shall shortly receive from some German Pen a worthier notice of one of Germany's greatest celebrities.—Times. THE ACCIDENT ON THE CORNWALL RAILWAY. PLYMOUTH, SATURD AY. An inspection of the scene of the unfortunate accident which occurred on Friday evening on the eastern side of the Grove Lake viaduct, which cros s e s a small inlet from the river Lyuher, gives no clue to the caul© perma nent way is straight and level, an d there s . noTthaeppear to have been anything to turn the engine from its proper course unless some obstruction was maliciously placed on the rails. The train, consisting of a first-class carriage between two second class, with a truck behind, started from Plymouth at 7.25 p.m. with about 3Oor 40 passengers, chiefly for St. Ger mans, and having stopped the usual time at the Devonport and Saltash stationsloo yards of Grove , went Lake the into Cornwall. When within engine got off the line, and proceeding a little distance on the viaduct, which is built of wood, dashed against and carried away the north parapet taking with it the eading second-class carriage and the first-class carriage. The engine crossed the stream about 30 feet below, and, turning upside down, was imbedded in the mud, w hi c h must have instantly suffocated the driver (Biscombe) and the stoker (Hannaford). It was about half flood at the time. The second-class carriage, which had but few passengers, followed the engine, and remained in the mud and water with the wheels down. The guard, Hosken, might possibly have escaped had not the first-class carriage fallen on the roof of his compartment and deprived him of life instantaneously by a fearful blow on the head. The first-class Carriage then turned on its back. The male passengers, among whom was Mr. Glubb, of Liskeard, saved themselves. Mr. Matthews, the chief accountant of the line, had, however, some difficulty, as his end of the car riage was nearly immersed. He escaped with his arm cut and knee bruised. One elderly lady, finding herself uninjured, quietly requested that the other passengers should be res cued first. By the strenuous efforts of Paddon, the second guard, the other second-class carriage, which contained about 20 passengers (the major portion in the train), was, with the truck, saved. he When he observed that the engine was ".inall' in g' " p re ssed down the break with so much force that, aided pro bably by the concussion of the engine against the parapet, the coupling iron broke. The carriag e was, however, off the rails, and the leading wheel withi a n six inches of the edge of the viaduct, so that the escape was very narrow one. The truck was also off the rails, but on the line. Pad don, who was the only official left alive, appears to have acted with great self-possession and energy. He went fear lessly down the embankment to the disabled carriages, and, aided nobly, by Spencer , a St. Germans Waterman, and some others, rescued the terrified passengers. M. Clever ton, town-clerk of Saltash, was soon present wi r th stimu lants. Besides those recorded, the only ascertained casual ties are three women, who were conveyed to Orchard Farm where they were kindly treated ; one left the same even ing, the others the next morning ; a man, with a bruised face, who walked on to St. Germans, and a little girl, whose arm was injured. The traffic will be interrupted fora_ . day or two The tra i ns continue to run as usual between Liskeard and Truro. The bodies of the men are at St. Germans, about a mile from Grove Lake, where an inquest will be held on Mon day. The viaduct is 116 feet long and 28 feet deep. i lr ~1l , ) BRIBERY AT CIE 80D31.721 7 ELECZiar-Vr; EWS PAPER -. .::,,,F7, 7 ,- -77:- . -gi,t,-.

The charge was laid under the second section of the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act (1854). Mr. Whitehurst, the honorary secretary of the Ballot Society, London, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Bishop, solicitor, Fowey, defended Belling. At the recent election for Bodmin there were three candidates, Mr. Wyld, the late member, the Hon. F. L evescn G ower (Lib erals), and Dr. Mitchell,l . . a resident in the borough, who styles himself a Liberal Conservative." The contest lay between Mr. Wyld and Dr. Mitchell, and it was a very - warm one. The defendant exerted himself to pro- . cure the return of the Tory candidate, and it was while so employed that the alleged act of bribery was committed. Thomas Chapman deposed as follows :—I live at Halgover, and am a voter for the borough of Bodmin. I know a man named Brewer. Mr. Bishop objected to the witness detailingany conversation that took place with Brewer unless the defendant was present. Witness continued—l know a man named John Belling, who is now in court. On the 25th April I had a conversation with him outside my house at Halgover about the election. He said to me that if I would vote for Dr. Mitchell he would lend me £lO, and I might give him a note of hand for the money. I said that I should not like to do any such thing, and that if Dr. Mitchell was not returned he would call on me for the money. He said that he would pledge his word and honour the note should be given up as soon as the election was over. I re plied that I should not like to do business in that way. He then said to me, "Do you consider the offer. Are you coming into the town one night in the week ? I said, "I am." He said that he should not be at home on the Tuesday, and desired that I would come on the Wednesday. He said that I was to come about that time in the evening, which was between seven and eight o'clock. I saw him about eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, the 27th April, in his own house, in Fore-street, Bodmin. There was not much said about the election then. I asked him what I was to do with my second vote. He said, " Do what you like with it, so long as you give Dr. Mitchell one." I said that I had voted for Mr. Wyld at former elections, and he said, " Well, Ido not think you can vote for a better man." He then said, " I want to bind you to secrecy, which you are not to divulge to any one—not even to your wife." I said, "It won't do to tell the women everything that is done." Then he offered me two £5 notes, which I took. Before he gave me the notes, he rose up, and asked me to step back into a darker part of the room, which I did. He then said tome, "Take this, and go out of the back door." I then left the house, and I went to Mr. Pearce, Mr. Wyld's solicitor, to whom I gave the notes. (The notes were produced and identified by the witness.) In cross-examination the witness said that he was not canvassed by Mr. Wyld, or by any one on his behalf, before seeing the defendant on the 25th. Was canvassed by Mr. Wyld before the 27th, but did not promise himself to that gentleman. Had voted for Mr. Wyld at former elections, and pro mised him one vote now. Mr. Wyld did not pay him for voting for him before. He went to London before the election of 1852—it was in 1847 or 1848. Had voted for Mr. Wyld at that time. Went to London to prove that he took a refreshment ticket for ss. Made a communication of what took place with Brewer to Mr. Wyld. Mr. Pearce, Mr. Wyld's solicitor, suggested the line of conduct witness was to pursue. Mr. Pearce instructed him to take the money, and he went to Belling's house with the view of taking it. He was asked to vote for Dr. Mitchell when he was given the money, but he did not intend to vote for him. Did not like to take the money at all, when it was first mentioned to him on the 25th, and would not have taken it at if he had not been advised to do so by Mr. Pearce. That gentleman stated that no penalty would attach to him for taking the money. Mr. Bishop—My friend Mr. Whitehurst has called your attention to the second section of the act ; but did Mr. Pearce read to you the third section, which states that any person taking any money or agreeing to do so shall be liable to the same penalties as the person who offers the bribe Witness—No. Mr. Pearce did not then promise he would keep him out of trouble. Was not aware that he was going to get into any trouble. Mr. Wyld was present when he handed the two £5 notes to Mr. Pearce. Something was taken down in writing that evening by Mr. Pearce, and no one was present but him and Mr. Pearce at the time. Did not intend at any time to take the money un tilladvised to do so by Mr. Pearce, and having done so had no intention of voting for Dr. Mitchell. Mr. William Pearce, solicitor and agent for Mr. Wyld at the last election, corroborated the evidence of the last witness, so far as related to receiving the two £5 notes from him, which had never been out of his possession since. In cross-examination he stated that he had ad vised Chapman to receive the money, and that no offence had then been committed to his knowledge. Advised him to do this knowing the law, and gave him this advice in order to detect bribery. Another witness, whose evidence was unim portant, having been examined, the case for the prosecution was concluded. Mr. Bishop having addressed the bench, The Bench retired, and after an absence of about ten minutes, the Mayor stated that they were unanimously of opinion that there was sufficient evidence to justify them in committing Belling for trial for the offence. Bail was accepted for the defendant's appearance to answer the charge, himself in £lOO and two sureties of £5O each. Mr. Bishop then applied to the magistrates for a summons against Chapman on the information of John Herden, charging him, under the third sec tion, with a misdemeanour, in having accepted 'a bribe, according to his own confession. The Mayor and Captain Liddle said that they did not think the circumstances under which Chap.. man had accepted the money would justify them in granting a summons against him ; and Mr. Ward said that he should require time to consider the tehurst said th a t h e was perfectlyapApilr. atic l i v o h n i pre pared at that mome n t t o di scuss the questionvhe ther Chapman had committed any offence under the Act of Parliament. The bench were of opinion that Chapman, in accepting the money, did so without any corrupt motive. HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. - The Toronto Globe, which has the largest circula tion in Canada, pays a marked compliment to Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton for his statesmanlike and patriotic conduct in reference to this company, whose sway over the Indian territory, three times as large as Germany, with a soil more fertile and a climate as good, ceased on the Ist May. Row dif• ferent from that of his predecessor, the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, who offered to renew for twenty one years longer the exclusive privileges of trade, which, if persevered in, would have placed Canada, the quietest colony of the Crown, hitherto so loyal, in collision with the mother country. With this gentleman, the family interests and influences of the Selkirks, Ellices, and Mathesons had too much weight, who have been weighed " in eidem trutinr with the Joneses, Browns, and Robinson by Sir Edward, who has done his duty to his coun try, irrespective of family conside r a tions and powerful connections. As the prai r i e s of the Red River can be reached in 20 to 25 days from England , we hope to see the tide of emigration directed to them instead of Illinois and Minnesota, being as fertile and more healthy, fever and ague beingunknown. In a few years the high road to China will pass through it ; in the meantime an Overland Mail service to British Columbia should be subsidised by our Government, who have no mail service, either ocean or overland w hen the Americans have four sate o cn r roe fi vt v a ; as a well. Ought not the new colony round Lake Winnipeg be named after the Coloni g al re merited compliment to the nov e list and states man. _ DESTRUCTIVE FIRE N EAR F ARRINGDON-STREET.
