The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of' having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en tit/ ed. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal maurgement which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdclut and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply cure.

It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that .he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its - min - intrinsic merits, and the great demand for item proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. No. 20,674. PUBLICATIONS.

The sectional meetings yesterday were well attended, and they are equally well attended to-day, while the conversazione held last night in tho Music-hall was one of the most distin guished, as well as gay, assemblies ever seen in a provin cial town. There were nearly 2,000 persons present, in cluding the elite of the West Riding of Yorkshire, as well as most of the distinguished visitors now in Leeds. It is impossible to notice more than a few of the papers read in the different sections yesterday. Dr. Whewell presided in Section A, which was ap pointed for the consideration of mathematical and physical science. A communication, by Professor Siljestrorn, was read by Mr. Earrishaw, "On the Constitution of Comets." A MEMBER suggested, as the result of his own observa tion, that comets might be merely electric fluids—a sort of phantasma from the sun's rays. He had made certain ex periments, in the course of which he had almost succeeded in realising the appearance of a comet. The Rev. - E. TitomAßE read a paper on " The Geology of a part of Lincolnshire hitherto unexplained," His remarks were confined to the coast near the Wash, and he said there was abundant evidence of the alternate submergence and elevation of a large part of the district within the human period, which he attributed to volcanic causes. Mr. PAGE mentioned instances of similar submergence and elevation of the coast of Scotland also within the human period. Professor OWEN, with reference to this part of the sub ject, said that, some time ago, he was sent for to the North, to examine a fossilised tree, which had been found in digging the Jarrow dock, which bore undoubted evidence of having been cut by human hands. It was supposed to be a most important discovery, as showing the antiquity of the human race, and at first everything appeared satisfactory. On pro secuting his inquiries, however, he learned that one of the navvies, not then on the works, was said to have discovered a similar tree in another part of the dock, which he cut to lay down a sleeper. The man was sent for and, on his arrival, he declared that the tree pointed out was the one he had cut. It was endeavoured to be explained that that was impossible, as the place had not been excavated before ; but, looking with supreme contempt upon the assembly of geologists and engineers, the man persisted in the identi fication of his own work, and exclaimed, " The top of the tree must be somewhere," upon which he (Professor Owen) offered half-a-crown to the first navvy who would produce it. Away ran half-a-dozen of them, and in a few minutes they returned with the top. This explained the mystery. The man had cut off the top with his spade to make way for a sleeper; the stump afterwards got covered up with silt, and on being again uncovered it was supposed to be a great discovery. Never had he so narrow an escape from introducing a " new discovery" into science, and never had he a more fortunate escape. (Laughter, and " Hear.") The Rev. F. F. STATHAM read a paper " On the Geology of the Scilly Islands," in which he descrihed their geologi cal structure, -their probable union at some geological period, the evidence afforded of their elevation and depression, and the effects of the sea upon the rocks. Mr. H. C. Sonny then read a paper "On the Currents present during the Deposition of the Carboniferous and Per mian Strata in South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire." Section E was devoted to geography and ethnology. Sir RODERICK MURCHISON, the president of the section, opened the proceedings with a brief speech. He read ex tracts from a long letter written to him by Dr. Livingstone, and dated the 24th of Juno last. The general tone of the letter was encouraging, and the principal subject mentioned in it was the river Zambese. It appeared that the antici pations that a great amount of fever would prevail on that river during the hot season had happily not been realised. During his six weeks' stay on the river not a single case of fever had occurred, and the Zambese had proved to be an exception to the generality of rivers in Africa. These state ments were confirmed in another letter which had been re ceived from the commander of one of the ships forming the expedition with which Dr. Livingstone went out. Dr. LLOYD said that, having merely been to the mouth of the Zambese, he could not give any account, of his own knowledge, as to the characteristics of the river, but he had no doubt that Dr. Livingstone's statements were true. The next paper read related to British North America, being entitled " Notes on the Geography of British North America, more particularly British Columbia, Frazer River, &c." Dr. Norton Shaw, secretary to the Royal Gesgra phical' Society, was the author of it, and read it to the as sembly. It commenced by referring to the exploration of the interior of North America, the first steps towards which Dr. Shaw attributed more to the French than to the Eng lish, the early Anglo-Saxon settlers in that country con fining their attention chiefly to agricultural pursuits. The essay proceeded to give anaccount of the:vanous discoveries which have been made in North America, alluding minutely to those made since the cession of Canada by France to Great Britain in 1763. He referred to the reward of £20,000 offered by the English Parliament in 1745 for the discovery of a north-west passage, and to the explorations stimulated by an organised association of the traders of Canada, under the name of the " North-West Company," whose right of trading, he observed, they not unreasonably supposed was altogether irrespective of the charter of the " Hudson Bay Company," since they existed before the cession of Canada to the English, and the King of England could not, of course, grant what did not belong to him. The paper next gave a succinct description of the geographical position of the Frazer River, the boundaries and hmits of British North America, the mountains of the coast, called the Rocky Mountains, and British Columbia. Dr. Shaw gave interesting information also with reference to the cli mate of the country, the facilities of communication from one point to another, and the characteristics of the rivers and the mountains. Speaking of British Columbia, he said that the face of.the country presented a succession of moun tain ridges, valleys, and plains, the more fertile districts lying, for the most part, between the Cascade mountains and the ocean. That portion of the country which lay be tween the Cascade mountains and the Pacific was subject to a remarkably equal temperature, the mean being about 54 degrees Fahrenheit. There were only about four months of winter, and all fruits and vegetable were as early as in Canada. In many respects the climate of the middle sec tion was less favourable; it was subject to droughts, and was warmer in summer and colder in winter. The air, however, was pure and healthy. The eastern section, under the snows of the Rocky Mountains, 'could not be praised for its climate. It was subject to great and sudden changes of temperature, occasionally going through all the gradations of eummer, autwmi, and winter iu single day, The western section was well adapted for agricultural operations. All kinds of grain could be produced in abun dance, and pears, apples, and all kinds of vegetable grown in England succeeded admirably. The undulating surface of the hills was well wooded, bearing tree a of various kinds. The eastern section was favourably spoken of ; and in the course of his remarks upon the Frazer River Dr. Shaw stated that it abounded in fish, as also did the other rivers in the district. Geese, ducks, and waterfowl were plenti ful in the spring and summer. In the western section of the country wild animals of various kinds were met with in great numbers. Sir RODBRICR MURCHISON said that he thought the subject of Dr. Shaw's paper was of great importance, espe cially as very valuable auriferous deposits had lately been discovered along the chain of mountains connecting British North America with Russian America. With respect to the physical geography of the district, they would, no doubt, receive additional information from Sir Yohn Richardson, the companion of Franklin, with whose presence they were favoured, and Lord Goderich would probably advert to the importance of this region to Great Britain. ' Sir JOHN RICHARDSON said that the facts given in Dr. Shaw's paper had evidently been collected with great care, but he thought that justice had scarcely been done to the Hudson's Bay Company. In speaking of the credit due to the Hudson's Bay Company he (Sir John) alluded particu larly to their treatment of the natives throughout Canada. Nowhere in North America was the red man to be found except in that portion of the country which was under the management of the Hudson's Bay Company. They had treated the Indians kindly; and had encouraged missiona ries to go among them, by whose instrumentality the greater portion of the natives had become Christians, and were springing up as a Chxistian community. He feared that the discover) , of gold in the vicinity of the Frazer River would tend to sweep the Indians from the face of the earth, as had been the general result of the influx of the white man into the territories of the red man. Un less the gold seekers conducted themselves orderly a long time would not *lapse before theywould be at war with the natives. Sir John Richardson mentioned one or two facts in refepence to the climate of the country, and Lord Gonvnien next made some observations on the sub ject of the paper. Ile said he fully believed that that pm... tion of the British possesalons which _had been referred to was of great political and national importance. He thought that a very considerable portion of it was perfectly avail able for the purposes of colonisation, and alight be culti vated with advantage. A committee of the House of Com mons, of which he was a member, came to the conclusion, about 18 months ago, that the country on both sides of the Rocky Mountains, particularly westward of them, might H be made in a short time available for colonisati on . ow to deal with the Indians was a very difficult question. No doubt, hitherto, wherever the red race had come i n t o com munication with the white it had gradually diminished and disappeared, but he did not think that fact ought to debar the population of this country from colonising so large a portion of her possessions as was comprised in the territory under the government of the Hudson's Bay Company. Me discovery of gold, however, had decided the question of colonisation. Many of the English people had already entered the country, and as it appeared from the hi hest authorities that the diitrict was likely to yield a large supply of gold, no doubt the number of emigrants thither would largely increase, and - a considerable mipulation would before long permanently settle there,- and that country, which had been recently. called British Columbia, would soon become a flourishing c Tony. His lordship said that the favourable situation of t e country was increased from its contiguity to the United States, and he observed that some attention had been di rected to the practicability of constructing a line of railway through the whole of the British possessions in that part of the world,- from Canada, over or through the Rocky Moun tains, to the Pacific. It was most important that the atten tion of the public should be directed to British Columbia, and that the best course should be taken to colonise it and develope its resources. Ho believed it was destined to be a very important part of our &denial empire. Prefessor.TEsNarri alluded to the difference in the value of the gold obtained is Australia and California and that which had been found in British Columbia. He said that Australian gold was Worth £4 an ounce, Californian £3155., and that got from the Frazer River district £3 lls. He strongly urged-that attention should be directed to the im portance of procuring other metals besides gold, such as copper, tin, silver, &e, which were frequently to be found in the ore from which, gold was obtained, and which would prOve equally as remunerative as what was generally con sidered the more precious metal. (Hear, hear.) • Lieut.-Col. JAMES, the superintendent of the Ordnance survey, gave an interesting statement of the steps which have been taken by the Government for the exploration of the new colony of Columbia. He expressed a belief that the men who were making that survey, by uniting the qualifications of the soldier and the artificer, would be enabled to preserve order in the country, and also to arsis in providing the necessary appliances for the establishmen of a new colony. (Hear, hear.) The discussion was closed by the CHAIRMAN observing that he hoped that public attention would be aroused to the importance of the subject, and intimating that the question of a railway- communication throu3l the British territories in North America would form the subject of a paper to be read at a future meeting of the section. _ _ _ _ Mr. CLEMENTS R. kiiItKIIAM, secretary of the Royal Hakluyt Society, then read to a diminished auditory a paper "On the Navigation of the Ucayalt, an affluent of the Amazon," The President, in thanking Mr. Markham for his contribution, remarked that it w•an the result of that gentleman's own experience and observation rather than a reproduction of the writings of others. In Section F, which was for the consideration of subjects classed under the " Economic Science and Statistics," after an opening address from the President, Mr. E. Baines, of Leeds. Dr. J. STRING, of Glasgow, read apaper ".On the Water Supply to Great Towns—its extent, costt,mses, a T ad abuses," r. T. BA;L EY , of Manchester, read an interesting paper entitled, "Tr ade and Commerce, the Auxiliaries of Civilisation and Comfort." Mr. W. NEWMARCH, of London, addressed the section "On the History of Prices of 1857 and 1858." He said that at the meeting of the British Association in Dublin last year a paper was read by hint on a subject some what analogous to the paper he had to submit to the pre sent meeting. On. that paper a discussion arose, and many of the opinions he had advanced were somewhat vehe mently contested. One of the statements he made at Dublin last year, and the statement probably which obtained the least amount of adhesion at that time, was to the effect that the high range of prices which was prevailing last year, as regarded nearly all classes of commodities, was a range of prices which had not been occasioned and which did not prevail in consequence of the large numerical addi tion mado since 1848 to the quantity of the circulating me dium in the world, meaning by "circulating medium" metallic money, but was to be attributed in the largest de gree and in the greatest number of instances to an excessive, and, he ventured to say at that time, a vicious application of capital and credit to speculation i n comm o dities. (Hear, hear.) Since that statement was made events had taken place to which he need not in the town of Leeds refer. Down to the present time there had been added from the new sources of supply—California and Australia—at least £230,000,000 sterling to the former stock, so that the addi tion was something like 40 per cent. It appeared to be a very startling doctrine to lay down at the end of seven years, during which an addition had been made of some thing like 40 or 50 per cent. to the amount of metallic money, prices were somewhat lower. These facts struck very much at the root of those doctrines which had been assumed as almost axiomatic as to the relation of the gold discoveries to the price of commodities. He should be asked where this - 1230,000,000 of new gold had gone. It had been absorbed in increasing incomes, in increasing ex penditure, in increasing wages, in increasing commodities, and in increasing dealings. The effect of the new gold had been to apply a stimulus, of which he believed it was im possible to estimate the force, to all industrial enterprise, and the truth was that those enormous additions had little more than sufficed to meet the increased demand for metallic money on the part of the civilized portiion of the world. The results developed in this country and elsewhere by the crisis of last year resolved themselves into five con clusions ;--First, That throughout the United Kingdom, America, and the North of Europe, and throughout the great seats of commerce, there had been an excessive speculation in commodities, and likewise an excessive application of capital and credit to deal in those commodi ties, which were held by parties with a view to making a profit by resale within short periods. Second, That there had been excessive credit. Third, That there had been ex cessive advances by banks.. Fourth,. That there had been an excessive accumulation -of deposits in banks. And it appeared in the fifth place, that one very striking feature in the crisis, not only in this country but in America, had been the very high rate of interest allowed by banks upon money deposited with them on various conditions. He was dis posed to think that principally at the root of the mischief was the evessiva application, through the medium of banks ,of quantities'or floating capital in the manner he had mentioned—nal:Ay; file dealing biekwardis and forwards in large quantities of commodities under the expectation of making a profit by the resale at short periods. He might be asked whether, after the gold discoveries which had taken place in Vancouver's Island and the un diminished amount of gold we were receiving from Aus tralia and California, it was not now certain tat the time had come when fixed incomes would be affected? He was very much disposed to - believe t h at tak ing the impetus which had been imparted already to the industrial organisa tion of the great commercial countries of the world—taking that in connexion with the strides that were making every day in the application of science, it would be found during the next few years, as it had been found during the last six or seven years, that the apprehensions of those persons who believed that fixed incomes would be affected would not be realised. Professor CAIRNES objected to some of the facts and to the principle of comparison adopted by Mr. Newmarch. Mr. R. M. Milnes and Mr. Nussey also made a few ob servations upon the paper. Mr. F. G. P. NEISON, of London, read an able paper en titled " An examination of the influence of overcrowding and density of population, in producing phthisis and dis eases of the respiratory organs, applied to the solution of some questions discussed in the recent Report on the Sani tary Commission of the Army." In Section. G, which was for the consideration of me chanical science. —-- • - - The 'PRESIDENT (Mr. W. Fairbairn, of Manchester) re viewed the progress of mechanical science in an elaborate address. In mechanical science and general engineering this country continues to maintain its high po s iti on . m a i_ leable iron, now applied to the construction of bridges, was capable of great development, and there was no span within the limit of 1,000 feet which might not be compassed by the hollow girder bridge. With respect to steam navigation much remained to be done, with the object of giving uni formity of strength and security of construction. The Leviathan, with all her misfortunes, was a magnificent specimen of naval architecture the cellular system so judi ciously introduced by Mr. Brunel being her great source of strength. He was so persuaded of the security of the prin ciple upon which she had been constructed that he had no doubt she would stand the test of being suspended upon the two extreme points of stem and stern with all her machi nery on board, or she might be poised upon ,a point in the middle, like a scale beam, without fracture or injury to the material of which she is composed. He expressed the hope that the necessary funds would be forthcoming to complete her equipment, and we should then see her dashing aside the surge of the Atlantic at a speed of 18 to 20 knots an hour. In this country we have now 9,500 miles of rail way, and, taking at a rough calculation, one locomotive epglue with a force of 200 horse power to every three miles of railway, and assuming each to run 120 miles per day, we might thence calculate the distance travelled over by trains to be equal to 380,000 miles per day, or 138,000,000 miles per annum. To transport these trains required a force equivalent to 200,000 horses in constant operation throughout the year. Referring to manufactures, he attributed the depression existing in many branches to the 'disturbed state of India and China, and., with these exceptions, believed that the manufactures of this country were never in a more flourishing condition. The iron trade, which had been similarly depressed, had witnessed many improvements, such as the improved pro cess by which malleable iron and steel were now produced, and the manufacture of steel bars and plates without the intervention of an intermediate and tedious process. A reference to the improved machinery now demanded for purposes of agriculture, and to the consummation of tele graphic communication between the Old and New World, terminated the address. Mr. JAMES OLDHAM, C.E., Hull, read a paper elucida tory of a buoy, called a"Greshainibuoy," which was intended to record disasters at sea. During the last 15 years, ending with 1857, there were wrecked, burnt, or missing 8,998 sailing vessels and 175 steam vessels, giving a total of 9,173 vessels, or an average of 611 ships per annum. In 1857 there were 37,014 British registered vessels, of which 662 were lost, or at the rate of 1.78 per cent. To remedy, in some measure, the dreadful suspense into which multitudes are thrown by ships missing, a gentleman—Mr. Gresham —proposed that - .every vessel should be provided with one or more topper buoys bearing her name and the port to Which she belongs ' • that these buoys should also have an Admiralty mark and a Board of Trade num ber, and that each should be provided with a chamber with a small spring valve made to open outwards, and capable of resisting any pressure which should be used, for receiving letters, or even treasures, so that if the ship were lost the buoy would float off in safety, and the information it con tained would be communicated to the parties interested by any ship which might pick it up. The buoy was intended to be made of strong copper, painted in. bright red and white stripes, and to be fitted with a small bell and flag on the upper part. Mr. JOSEPH GLYNN, F.R.S., C.E., read a paper on the economy of water-power. He advocated the use of the horizontal wheels, in which the water drove round a fan with curved vanes, having a vertical axis, and revolving in an iron case—the water escaping at the centre. This adap tation economised water, and gave power equal to that of an overshot wheel. Professor RANKIN expressed his opinion that horizontal water-wheels might be more largely used, and Mr. ROBERTS and the President of the Section concurred. Mr. G. RENNIE, C.E., read an interesting paper on the construction of floating and fixed batteries. The essay was illustrated by models. Captain FISHBOURNE was of opinion that with such an extreme weight of iron it would be impracticable to build seagoing ships. The rapidity of the motion of the Aga memnon, when she had the cable on board, had the effect of nearly disintegrating the ship, and she must have had an enormous strain upon her when she suffered in the way that had been already publicly described. The principle advo cated by Mr. Rennie could only, he waq afraid, be used in exceptional cases. Captain.BLAKELET expressed a similar opinion. Mr. SMITH, C.E., thought that if wood or some other similar substance could be built over the iron shell of the vessel it would preserve the ship from guns of ordinary construction. . _ _ vv Mr. ScoTT RUSSELL said the question before the section was one of some difficulty. The French Government were carrying on a series of experiments, as were also the English Government, but although he had been informed of the nature of these experiments he was not at liberty at present to' communicate them. The English Government were adopting a very wise and judicious course ; they were making their experiments now before they built their ships. The point with which, as mechanical men, they had to do, was, whether wooden vessels of war were equal to the work of iron vessels. If the English Government found that war ships would be more advantageously constructed with shot proof sides and otherwise protectekr ith iron, then he had no doubt that engineers and shipbWders would be found who would both get the material and construct the vessel in, a proper manner. (Hear, hear.) And he was also of opinion that it was possible to make ships with shot-proof aides which would have also good weatherly qualities. After some further discussion the CHAIRMAN, in sum ming up, said that the Admiralty, some 15 years ago, had degided against iron ships in consequence of the experiments they then made. An excellent paper " On the Performance of Steamves sels, the Functions of the Screw, and the Relation of its Diameter end Pitch to the Form of the Vessel," by Vice- Admiral Moorsom, was next read by the secretary, Mr. Wright, in the absence of the gallant admiral. The memo randum was one of a purely technical character, and as the subject has been referred to a committee of the association, on which are Mr. Scott Russell, Mr. Napier, Professor Rankin, and other eminent authorities, there is no doubt that it will receive that careful and particular consideration to which its importance entitles it. Mr. C. F:WHITWORTH illustrated his recent improve ments in railway signals by two very pretty models. One of those represented a line of rails in'the neighbourhood of a station with the distant signal. By slightly inclixing a particular pair of rails, and fixing a communication between them and the signals, the train announces itself as soo* as it passes over the permanent way, and the signal, exhibited for the information of succeeding engine drivers, announces that a train has just passed, and that it would be dangerous for them to continue their journey until the obstruction is removed. Mr. Whitworth also exhibited a model of a railway signal intended to be attended by an ordinary sig nal man. The new principle in it was the use of a wheel instead of a lever. This wheel, like the wheel of a vessel, moved the arms of the signal, and registered the fact of its having done so, by ringing a bell both at the station and at the wheel itself.. In misty- weather, consequently, the sig nal man would be perfectly aware when he had discharged his duty and when the proper signal was displayed. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK.

The deceased was a young man of intemperate and dissolute habits, a:-:d on the evening of Monday, the 13th inst., visifed several publichouses, at which he treated a number of girls' of the town. He afterwards went to the house of a girl named Harriet Ritchins, who was pregnant by him, and there fell asleep. On awaking he vomited twice, and was taken to his own house by Ritchins. The next morning the deceased was again seized with vomiting, and complained of pain in the stomach. Mr. Furze, a surgeon, was called in, and administered a powder, which, however, the deceased did not retain, and at half-past 10 he died. Having been on the day previously in his usual health, his mother caused an inquest to be held, and two girls named Ellen Coles and Maria Swift, in whose company he was last seen drinking, and Harriet Ritchins, the girl bef ore me ntioned, were taken into custody. The following evidence was adduced yesterday : Jane Hill, of Union-place, mother of the deceased, deposed that her son was 23 years of age in Aug. last. He was a mason's labourer, unmarried. 111 was in perfect health on the day before his death, which took place on Tuesday the 14th inst. He re turned home on Monday night at a late hour and went to bed. Witness continued—He threw himself on my bed when he came in, and I went into his bed. I thought he was the worse for liquor. I got up the next morning at 6 o'clock and found my son still in bed. I did not then see that there was any thing the matter with him. I went out to work, and about half-past 9 o'clock my little girl came for me, and in consequence of what she told me I has tened home. I found him very ill, and asked him if he was fit to die. He appeared to me as a dying man. He had vomited a great deal, and there was froth about his mouth. His legs were naked, and cold and white, like those of a dying man. At that time I had no suspicion of anything wrong. I ran to Mr. Furze, a medical man in the neighbourhood, and he returned and saw my son, and gave him a powder, which he tools. My son complained of very great pain in his stomach and head. He s aid t o my daughter that if he got over this he would never drink again. He died about half-past 10 in the morning. I afterwards showed his body to Dr. W. B. Herapath. I may have° said soon after his death that my son had poisoned himself ; and I heard Mr. Furze say that he appeared as a person who had been poisoned. He threw up the powder that was given him. The contents of the utensil were thrown away. At that time I had no suspi cion of my son having been poisoned. Dr. W. B. Herapath was the next witness. He deposed—l first saw the body of the deceased on Thursday, the 16th inst. It was shown me by hi; mother. There were no external marks of violence. I discovered nothing to account for death by a simple post mortem examination of the body until I opened the stomach, -when I found immense in flammation of the mucous membrane, chiefly over the lesser curvature of the stomach. It contained about 3oz. of fluid matter, chiefly, apparently, tea, and some solid matt er . The solid matter, e xam i ne d by the microscope, gave evidence of vegetable mat ter, uncooked starch, and sand. The vegetable matter was too much altered by the process of di- Festion to enable me to ascertain from what plant it had been derived. I ascertained satisfactorily by the microscope that no vegetable substance had been the cause of death. The fluid and the solid part of the contents of the stomach both showed traces of arsenic when treated by Reinsch's . pro cess. I here produce some copper gauze, covered with metallic arsenic, produced from the, fluid con tents of the stomach, and also a ring of arsenious _ _ acid, produced by heating some of the copper gauze already shown. The solid matter left undissolved by the water gave evidence of similar arsenical contamination, and showed the presence of arsenic in minute quantity. I then treated the tissue of the stomach in the same way, and obtained un doubted evidence of a much larger quantity of crys tals of arsenious acid, of which I produce specimens. I have since found traces of arsenic in the blood, in the serum effused in the cavity of the chest, and in the tissue of the liver. I have examined all my re agents and found that they are free from arsenic, so that the arsenic produced must have been present in the body of the deceased ; and it is my opinion that he died from the effects of arsenic, admi nistered in the solid form, and readily soluble-- probably arsenious acid, or white arsenic. Butler's vermin killer contains such a substance, slightly coloured by some extraneous matter, the character of which I cannot at present say. There is another vermin killer also containing arsenic. I should say the arsenic in this case was a small dose, and must have been swallowed some hours before death. The principal part was probably ejected by vomiting. The presence of - whole uncooked starch grains I think a strong point, because it might have been the substance with which the arsenic was originally mixed. Starch is usually found in the stomach. Iteinseh's test is the most ready test ; it acts inde pendently of organic matter, and therefore is the one principally used. It requires fewer precautions in its employment,. It is merely a means of obtain ing the arsenious acid in a concentrated form quickly, and prepares the way for other tests, which are the distinguishing characteristics of arsenic. I have carefully tested all the tests I employed, and am satisfied that they were free from arsenic. The symptoms described and the post mortem examina tion fully coincide with the idea that arsenic was the cause of death. Ruth Morgan, wife of Philip Morgan, of 2, Union-place, labourer, knew the deceased, and saw him the evening before his death ; he was then ap parently well. Saw him again the following morn ing, about half-past 9 o'clock ; he was then appa rently dying. He complained of pain in his chest. His sister, Mrs. Martin, was sitting by him holding his head. He was vomiting ; his feet were very cold. Mr. Furze, the surgeon, came, and said he was dying. Witness remained there till he died, which was at about half-past 10 o'clock. Nothing was said about any one having poisoned him, or of his having poisoned him Self. What he vomited was nearly all froth. Joanna Dawkins, of 1, Union-place, widow, who was present during the last illness of the deceased, confirmed the evidence of the last witness. Ann Ritchins, mother of one of the girls in custody, deposed that the deceased came to her house On the evening before his death. He had been drinking, and appeared merry. While he was there he went asleep for about half-an-hour, and when he awoke he was sick twice. Witness thought it arose from the drink he had been taking. Her daughter saw him home. While at her house he sent for a quart of beer, but did not drink any of it. A number of witnesses were then called, who were in company with the deceased the evening before his death at various public-houses. They all swore that there was no ill-feeling manifested towards him by any person, and that they had no reason to suspect that he received any ill-treatment from any one in whose company he was. The coroner stated that through the activity of the poliCe he had b een f urn i s h e d with a list of 92 other witnesses who had seen the deceased the day before his death, but he believed that their evidence would. not throw any further light upon the case. The three girls who were last seen in company with the deceased, and who had been ordered to be detained in custody, should be called before the jury, and after hearing this evidence it would be for them to - decide - whether they would adjourn the inquiry, or return their verdict upon the testimony which was before them. At the request of the mother of the deceased, his sister, Mary Ann Martin, was called. She deposed that she had heard her brother say he would never hare the girl Harriet Ritebins. She saw him go into a public•house with her on the night before his death, about 11 o'clock. At that time he was quite lively, and was dancing about with Harriet Ritchins. The next morning about half-past 8 o'clock (wit ness continued) I heard of his being ill, and went to him ; he complained of pain in his stomach, and told me to send for a doctor. After rep ea ti ng i n substance the evidence given by the moth er o f the deceased, witness added :—I had no reason t o thi n k at the time of his death that he had been poisoned; I think now that he was poisoned, but cannot point to any one as having b een lik e l y t o h ave p o i son ed him. I don't think h e was lik e l y t o h ave done it himself. No paper containing the remains of poison or anything of that sort has been found upon the premises. Mrs. a lodger in the house occupied by the deceased's mother, was next called . at Mrs. Hill's request, but her evidence was immaterial. Mrs. Hill recalled, stated that her son was very irregular in money matters, and that she frequently reproved him for it. From this circumstance, and the girl being iu the family-way, whom he said he never would marry, he might have destroyed him self. He was very weak in some things. She i had no suspicion of any one having l'-vill towards her son. He was subject to fits when young, which had partially affected his head. After hearing this evidence, the coroner asked the jury whether they wished to have any more witnesses called, or whether they desired an ad journment. The foreman, after consulting with his fellows, stated that they were unanimous in finding that the deceased died from the effects of arsenic, but how or by whom administered there was no evi dence to show. The three girls who had been in custody were then liberated, and the inquiry terminated. ~vsT lc c.-: ph - oEp :d arm av • P OIS 0 117 .21r G AT B 'te.l:•7 • &Air*. BANK OF ENGLAND.
