3101VE.F MARKET .AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There is very little alteration to notice in con fiction with the money market. The demand in most quarters continues very quiet, and the rates r emain without variation. The tendency is cer tainly not in an upward direction, although 't was generally expected last week that the Bank minimum quotation would have been carried to 3 per cent., owing to the sudden demand which arose for accommodation. It appears, however, that many persons hastened to obtain assistance, under the impression that if t hey waited a few days, higher terms would be en forced ; and the consequence is that the inquiry has sensibly abated, and the market again presents a quiet appearance. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon exhi bited an advance in the ratio on Amsterdam, the quotation for Hamburg, however, was rather lower. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The £llB,OOO by the South ampton, and the £90,000 by the African, however, have been taken for the Continent. In the Liverpool cotton market yesterday a Moderate business was transacted, and 6,000 bales Were sold, at previous rates. The railway share market closed with a more animated appearance, and prices were again rather higher. In the F o reign and Colonial produce markets easiness continues rather restricted ; purchasers Merely operate for immediate wants, but prices a re generally well maintained. Sugar is dull, and a decline of 6d. per cwt. is reported. Rum d cocoa are steady, and plantation Ceylon coffee la In good demand at full rates. Tea is quiet, acid for rice there is little inquiry at previous quotations. saltpetre is in increased demand at former rates ; and in tallow there is no alteration of importance. The sales of sugar and coffee now progressing are not very extensive, but a rather large quantity of a Plees is being disposed of by auction. The market for Public securities closed yesterday With a buoyant appearance, Consols being 951, but this morning diminished firmness has been recorded, the quotations having receded to 951 , •1 for money and account. This unfavourable change is Mainly attributed to speculative rates, the effect of Which is seen tin a decline of about 1 per cent. The bona fide operations have included a purchase et £5OOO Reduced Annuities for the Savings Banks. The New Shares are steady at 95 1 96, the Reduc e d Annuities at 951 y, Exchequer Bills at 26 premium, and Long Annuities at 11-16. Indian " L oan Debenture (1858) have advanced to 951, and the Bonds to 9 discount. Business in the Foreign Stock Market continues Moderately active, and prices are flatter. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 811 to 821 ; ditto New 72 to 73 ; Bueno s the 4 p er Cents. have advanced to 1021; 41 1enos Ayres Deferred to 181; Dutch 21 per Cents. to 651 1; Venezuelan New 21 per Cents. to 28 1 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. are steady at 44 1; ditto Deferred is firm at 33, and the Passive at 9 1:; Mexican remains at 204 a. Subscription lists have been opened by Messrs. Raphael and Sons, and by Messrs. Raatte, at Am sterdam, for the New Russian Loan. The Russian Loan is quoted 1 1 premium, and the Indian ditto 98 to 981. In b the Railway Share Market the dealings have been limited. In some instances, however, prices !how rather more firmness. Bristol and Exeter easter n improved 15s. ; Great Western and North . . , astern (York), ss. ; and North Western, 111. ; south Western, Midland, and North Eastern (Ber- Wi ck), declined 55., and Great Northern, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines show little ' v ariation. Lombardo-Venetian old shares have ueelined to 101, and the new to 101 ; East Indian heavy at 100 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 341 35 ; 411 d Great Indian Peninsula, at 971. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares are a shade flatter. Bank of Australasia have declined ; Oriental Bank, Ottoman Bank, and Union of "Ldendon, realise about former rates. In the Miscellaneous Share Market Crystal Pa 'Lace are strong at 11, and London Discount Com pany at 37,-. RITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. 3Per Ce n t. Reduced Annuities 9sa / N Per C en t.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron.) - TRIAL OF DR. SMETHURST.—THIRD DAY. The trial was resumed at nine o'clock this morning. Dr. Alfred Suxine Taylor, examined by Mr. Bodkin, said—l am Professor of Chemistry at Guy's Hospital, and Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and of the Royal Society. I have had a large experience for many years. On Sunday, May 1, Mr. Buzzard called on me about one o'clock, at my private residence. He brought with him a parcel wrapped in paper. He told me that it contained two bottles, and I ascertained that it did so. I only looked at one bottle, marked No. 2. It was sealed with a Turkish seal. In consequence of a communication made to me by Mr. Buzzard, I consented to examine one of the bottles. I took out the bottle which came first, and that was No. 2. The bottle was opened and two drachms of its contents poured out. I applied a process in the first in stance. The apparatus consisted of copper wire, muriatic acid, distilled water, and an ordinary test-tube. The acid and water were boiled. I had ascertained that the vessels in which I testod were perfectly clean. On applying the process I found that a metallic substance of a greyish colour was attached to the wire. That indicated arsenic, or mercury. On obtaining that deposit I proceeded no fur ther at that time. I then desired to have the authority of a magistrate for proceeding with the analysis. The bottle No. 2 was re-sealed by Mr. Buzzard in my presence, and taken away by him ; he also took away the bottle No. 1. After Mr, Hazzard had left I proceeded to examine the contents. Application had been made to me in reference l to the life of the lady, and I was told that it had reference to a living lady ; so, although it was Sunday, I pro ceeded with the investigation. I continued my experiments by boiling copper gauze. I applied the gauze, and then examined it, and saw a substance closely resembling me talic arsenic. I then obtained crystals from the gauze and tubes. I had not the slightest doubt that the tubes con- tained arsenic. [The tubes were handed to the Lord Chief Baron, who said he saw the crystals.] I examined the crystals by the microscope, and having tested them further, obtained proof that it was really arsenic. On the evening of the same day Mr. Buzzard came back, and brought back both bottles, with a letter from Mr. Penrhyn, the ma gistrate, authorising me to proceed further with the analy sis. On the following morning I finished the examination of No. 2. After that, having taken two ounces of the liquid, I made a further examination of it by the same process, thoroughly to satisfy myself about the arsenic, and I found I was correct. I obtained drops on a larger scale. I came to the conclusion that there was less than a quarter of a grain of arsenic in the whole of the four ounces which I tried. I made a subsequent analysis and I found copper, a mere trace, just enough to say that there was copper. There was no trace of antimony, mercury, or bismuth. It was the copper pill which the deceased took which probably caused the copper I found. The process I used would have detected antimony, bismuth, copper or mercury if it had been there. I examined the organic matter of bottle No. 2, by the microscope, and found it to consist of fibrous matter and feculent matter—food mixed with bile and blood. Having examined the evacuation I come to the conclusion that it was that of a person suffering from the administration of arsenic. I examined the contents of No. 1 the next morning. It merely contained biliary matter, with mucas, and no metallic matter at all. On Thursday, the sth May, I received a parcel from Inspector M'lntyre and a jar sealed up. That was found afterwards to contain a portion of the viscera—the stomach unopened, the spleen, the large and small intestines, the liver, part of the esophagus or pullet, and the uterus. On the 7th of May I received a bottle con taining the two kidneys, and a small bottle containing blood, said to have been taken from the heart. I also received from M'lntyre a number of medicine bottles, pill boxes, and other articles, making a total number of twenty-eight. Others followed on the 18th of May, chiefly medicines supplied from the surgery. I examined the contents of all those 28 bottles and packages. I first ex amined the uterus which was in an impregnated state, then the kesophagus, of which only a portion was sent. It indi cated irritation in the throat. There was no arsenic or antimony in the throat. (The witness was entering with great minuteness into a description of the state of the various parts, when the Lord Chief Baron checked him and desired him to confine himself to what bore on the case.) The smaller part of the middle intestines contained the largest portion of antimony. There was antimony above and below, and some was found in the coecum. I found some in the kidney. There were traces of it in the blood from the heart, and some in the blood from the urine. I was assisted by Dr. Odling, and we calcu bated that the whole quantity of antimony found did not ex ceed half a grain. In the clecum, besides the presence of antimony, I found that it was ulcerated, and the small members nearly destroyed throughout. The large intestines were ulcerated more or less throughout. The most remark able appearance was the almost total destruction of the liv ing membrane. The blood in the stomach indicated some great cause of irritation. I next proceeded to examine the contents of certain pill boxes which I received on the 7th of May from Mr. M'lntyre. I was informed what they con tained, and I found the statements made to me were correct. There were four copper pills, ono of which was taken for analysis. The Lord Chief Baron—What do cou mean by copper pills ? Witness—Pills containing sulphate of copper with pow dered opium. In the wadding taken from one of the boxes I found the slightest trace of a white powder, which might have been mercury, silver, or bismuth. I then examined a large number of bottles and powders. There were two bottles of bismuth. One was unopened, and the other had about an ounce and a half taken from it. In other bottles I found prussic acid, sulphuric acid, quinine, and other things which corresponded with what I had been told. I also examined some sugar and tapioca brought me by the inspector, but I found nothing in it. The Lord Chief Baron (to Mr. Bodkin)—ls it necessary that I should take that down ? Witness continued—This bottle, No. 5, was brought to me by Mr. M'lntyre. I found it to contain 355 grains of chlorate of potash, of the sort used in making explosive mixtures and percussion caps. Bottle 21 corresponded with another containing a genuine mixture. It contained about one half of water of a saline taste. I had half of it boiled and tested by Reinsch's process. I found on testing it that the copper was immediately de. , stroyed, and I thought I detected arsenic. I then put the bottle aside, thinking there was some thing remarkable about it, and wishing to have the assistance of another chemist. Dr. Odling and myself afterwards examined it, and found that there was neither arsenic nor antimony. The arsenic which I thought I saw had come from the copper gauze, which being destroyed, the arsenic was set free. Chlorate of potash is a saline mixture and slightly diuretic. I have heard the evidence gi yen in this case as to tbe symptoms under which this lady laboured, the remedies applied, and the result of the post mortem examination. Taking the whole of the circum stances into consideration I can ascribeher death to nothing but the action of the irritant poisons. Cross• examined by Sergeant Parry—l have been exa mined several times in this case—twice before the magis trate and once before the coroner. I found traces of arsenic in bottle No. 2. I always reckoned it less than the sixth part of a grain. I used copper gauze for my test, and also copper foil and wire. It was the same as I used for testing bottle 21. I tested the copper before my experi ments. In testing the contents of bottle 21 I found that I deposited the arsenic on the copper wire myself, but I must say that that bottle was the only one that contained chlorate of potash, and the effect of that was to destroy the test. Dr. Odling made an examination of bottle 21, and he came to the same conclusion as myself, that arsenic was present. We afterwards discovered that we were both wrong, and that no arsenic was present. I did on my oath state that I discovered arsenic in bottle 21 before the coroner more than once. I was wrong. I have had the wire in my possession for 14 years, I have used portions of the, wire before for tests, and shall do so again, but I will take care to see there is no chlorate of potash in that which I shall be called upon to test. The deposition of Dr. Taylor before the Coroner, at the inquest held at Richmond, was then read, in which he stated that he had examined the whole of the bottles, and with the exception of that numbered 21 no traces of arsenic were found, but in that bottle the poison was present, and that it was so mixed that it might be swallowed without the slightest knowledge of its deadly nature. The deposition taken before the magistrate was then read, in which Dr. Taylor stated that the death of the lady was caused by the administration of small dozes of irritant poison. Cross-examined—At the time I gave my evidence before the magistrates I firmly believed that arsenic was present in bottle 21, and that it had been placed there by some body else, and not by the test I myself applied. I first discovered my mistake about the arsenic in bottle 21 about the 7th of June. Dr. Odling took some of the liquid s•on after to make an independent test. We both, in com pany with Professor Brand, made another examination of the contents of bottle 21. We used two teaspoonfuls of the mixture in using Marsh's test, and one to Reinche's test. It was then discovered arsenic was not present. 'ln the case of Mr. Wooler, who was tried in 1855 for the murder of his wife by , slow poison, I went down to give evidence by order of the Government. There was no doubt then about arsenic being present. It was found in the tissues and all parts of the body. The Lord Chief Baron—Are you, brother Parry, seeking to prove that the witness made a blunder in that case ? Sergeant Parry—Oh, no, mylord ; Dr. Tayler has frankly admitted the blunder he made in this case. lam now about to examine him upon another point. Cross-examination continued—ln the case of Mrs. Wooler I did not examine the stomach. I did not see it at all. As a result of a slow arsenical poisoning all the roots of the vessels would be gorged with blood ; so it was in this case. _ Sergeant Parry—l wish you wo u ld mere l y answer m y question. Witness —I wish to state the whole truth. Sergeant Parry—l asked you a question, and you answer it, saying at the same time " so it was in this case." The Lord Chief Baron—l think Dr. Taylor was per fectly right in giving the answer he did. Cross-examination continued—A hacking cough is one of the symptoms of arsenical poisoning, where there is irrita- tion of the throat. Mucous is always increased by the ad ministration of arsenic. lam notacquainted with peculiar cases of dysentery. A cold claraminess of the skin is a symptom of antimonial poisoning. By the Lord Chief Baron—ln all my experience, which extends over 29 years, I never met with chlorate of potash in connection with arsenic. The Lord Chief Baron—Thtn when chlorate of potash is not present the copper test is always correct. Witness—Always. Sergeant Ballantine—Have you examined the four speci mens of medicine obtained from Dr. Julius's, viz, bismuth, nitrate of silver, sulphate of copper, and acetate of lead ? Witness—Yes. In ten grains of the sulphate of copper I found traces of arsenic. Lord Chief Baron—Did you find antimony among eithei of them? Witness—No, my lord. Sergeant Parry—What test did you use ? Witness—Marsh's. Sergeant Parry—ln point of fact, is not arsenic some times found in bismuth ? Witness—Yes. Dr. Odling, examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l am a professor of practical chemistry at Guy's Hospital. I have made several examinations in conjunction with Dr. Taylor. I concur in all the evidence. lam satisfied that antimony was present in the body of the deceased. Sergeant Ballantine—You have the evidence in this case ? Witness—l have. Sergeant Ballantine—Have you formed an opinion as to the cause of death? Witness—l have. Sergeant Ballantine—What opinion have you formed ? Witness—That death was caused by irritant.poison. Sergeant Ballantine—ls there any form in natural dis ease to which you can attribute death ? Witness—Not to my knowledge. Professor Brand—l was requested to examine a portion of the liquid that had been in the possession of Dr. Taylor to ascertain whether arsenic was present. I made that analysis. There was no arsenic present. Chlorate of potash would dissolve copper. The circumstance that occurred in Dr. Taylor's experiments does not shake my faith in Renisb's test. Mrs. Smith, of Rifle-terrace, recalled and said the pri sonef left her house on Saturday the 11th of December. She could not say where he was on the 9th or 10th, whether he was at home or not on those days. Dr. Julius was also recalled, and said that when Dr. Smethurst was before the magistrate he said that if there were any metallic substances found they must have been contained in the medicines that came from his (Dr. Julius's) shop. This was the case for the prosecution. The Court then adjourned for refreshment; on the learned Judge resuming his seat on the bench, Mr. Sergeant Parry rose to address the jury for the pri soner. He commenced by saying that after the protracted agony of a double trial, and a sensibility that prejudice was being accumulated against him by the lapse of time, the prisoner had now an opportunity of making his defence to this charge. In the position he then occupied he was fear ful that he should inadequately discharge his duty, but he relied upon the assistance of all in acquitting himself of his painful duty.

(From the Regutrar-General's .Report) The returns of London for last week exhibit a further, though not an important, decrease on those of the previous week. The deaths in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,296. In the 10 years 1849-58 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,241 ; but, as the deaths now returned occurred in a population which h as i ncreased, they should be compared with the av erage ra i sed in proportion to the increase— namely, with 1,365. From this comparison it ap pears that the deaths returned for last week were less by 69 than the number which the average rate of mortality for the second week of August would have produced. it should be observed, however, that the facts on which the calculation is based are derived in part from two weeks, in 1848 and 1854 respectively, when cholera was epidemic ; and in making the -above comparison this circumstance should not be forgotten. The public health is far from being in a satisfactory condition. The deaths from diarrhoea, which were in the three previous weeks successively 415, 382, and 312, were last week 296. In the 10 weeks of 1849-58, corresponding with last week, the average number (corrected) was 189. Of the 296 deaths, 90 occurred in the East districts, in which division the disease still appears to be most prevalent. Taking London generally, the sub-districts where fatal cases of diarrhoea were recorded last week in greatest num bers are Belgrave, which returns 7, Rectory Mary lebone, also 7, Regent's-park 9, Haggerstone west 6, Hackney -road 6, Bethnal-green-town 7, Mile end Old-town, west and east sub-districts, 15 ; Poplar 8, and Battersea 5. In addition, to the deaths from diarrhoea, 22 are referred to cholera, " choleraic diaarhcea," &c. A woman, aged 37 years, died at 34, Upper Rosoman-street, of " cho lera biliosa," after five day s ' ill ness; a man, age d 1 50 years, at 7, Ebenezer-buildings, Heston, of " cholera morbus." A mate, aged 32 years, died on the 4th of August in the Dreadnought Hos pital-ship of " cholera ;" and a seaman belong ing to the General Steam Navigation Company, aged 31 years,, on July 30, ;,s supposed also to have died of cholera, in a. b - oat near the same Hospital-ship. All the 22 deaths from cholera oc curred to children, except a; one was that of a boy at Hampstead, aged 3 years, who died on the 10th inst. of " Asiatic cholera," after 11 hours' illness. Two persons died from want of the necessaries of life. Scarlatina was fatal in 49 cases, and diptheria in 18. Last week the births of 907 boys and 855_girls, in all 1,762 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1849- 58 the averaf . o number was 1,500. METROPOLITAN WATERS IN JULY, 1859. The waters supplied by the Thames companies, according to the analysis of Dr. Robert Dundas Thomson, F.R.S., of St. Thomas's Hospital, con tained in July less foreign matter than they have held in solution since 1854, when those procured above Teddington Lock were distinguished by even a smaller amount of impurity. They afford a striking contrast with the Thames water at Lon don-bridge, which is added for the sake of com parison. Last year the Thames water at the same locality contained 88.8 deg. of impurity and 10.24 deg. of organic impurity, with 1 grain of carbo nate of ammonia per gallon derived from the ani mal matter in the sewage. In the past mouth the amount of the same salt was .72 rains. The smell of the river has been distinguishable at even a greater distance than last year, but subsides with the temperature. The composition of one of the unhealthy surface wells is also appended : Total impurity Organic im per gallon. purity. grs. or deg. gra - . or deg. 01) 0•0 Distilled Water Loch Katrine water, new supply to Glasgow Thames water at London-bridge Aldgate pump THAMES COMPANIES.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.796 in. The barometer rose from 29.64 on Monday to 29.90 in, on Thursday, being the lowest and highest readings respectively in the week. The meaa temperature of the week was 63.9 degrees, which is 2.1 deg: above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest point attained by the thermometer in the sun was 101 deg. on Friday. The highest point attained by the thermometer in the shade was 81 deg., which was read b o th on M on d ay an d F r id ay. The lowest point was 51.5 deg. on Friday. The entire range of the temperature of the air on that day, and also in the week, was therefore 29.5 deg. The mean daily range was 18.4 deg. The,diffe rence between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 7.5 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 77. The mean tempera ture of the water of the Thames was 67.1 deg., which exceeds that of the air by 3.2 deg. On the first two days and the last two the wind blew chiefly from the south-west ; in the middle of the week it was in the north east and north. Rain fell to the amount of 0.28 in., most of which was mea sured on Wednesday. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS, AUG, 16.—The tone of the woollen cloth trade continues firm, and the general aspect of busi ness is satisfactory. The warehouses are doing a fair trade, and in the manufacturing districts em ployment is plentiful. Orders are being renewed, and there is every prospect of considerable activity for some time to come. The cloth-halls this morn ing were not so numerously attended as on the last few market days, and the transactions were only on a moderate scale. Stocks, however, are exceed ingly low, and the manufacturers are principally engaged in making deliveries direct to the ware houses. The prices of wool continue without change. MANCHESTER, AUG. 16.—We have a quiet market for all kinds of yarn, except fine counts and. 16's to 24's water-twist for China. A very consider able business has been done for China since this day week, and the position of Bolton spinnings from 60's to 200's, used by the Yorkshire trade and for the lace business is one of moderate activity, with advancing prices. Home trade ' yarns of the lower to medium counts are in less demand and rather easier in price, 40's mule being heavier in the market than for some time past. Bundle yarn of mule or water , of the same numbers, a r e scarcely so much affected in price as warps, and German qualities are firm. Descrip tions suited to the India trade and for export to the Mediterranean quiet. For India and Germany prices are not affected, because, though business is quieter, the spinners of these goods are well under engagements and not seeking fresh orders. In the cloth-market the principal change to notice is in India fabrics, which may be quoted Id. to 3d. per piece lower. At this reduction sellers have done business, and would be able to effect large sales if there were any stocks to meet the demand. The market, however, is bare, and, as many of our manufacturers are still under contract at last prices, they are not competitors for business at a lower rate of prices. There is no change, nominally, in the price or position of cloths for the home trade, but still, with a large branch of our business like that f ni o oc r ne di l n nd i n iasuffering value,m o saonftu to hnefa some ovtohuerrabb e lre x a t n e ion n hfl t eu u s e. n n d e e a d mer ises Messrs. ax e : P.

The chemical composition which contains the elements of combustion is encased in tin, which is provided with tubes, and the tin 'case is attached to a float of wood. Contact with water causes ignition, and a strong light proceeds from one of the tubes. The apparatus, being attached to a boat or vessel by means of a rope, will enable those on'board to see distinctly at a distance of half-a- mile, and as alest of durability one of the lights was attached to the Fisgard, flag-ship, at half-past 10 o'clock on Monday night and was found burning at five o'clock on Tuesday morning. though in man y parts the cold lights have had the HOP INTELLIGENCE. —KENT.—Our reports gene rallythe burr, which is longer than usual in speak of the great improvement which has taken place On dry soils, where the bine was begin in the appearance of most of the plantations since the l a t e beneficial; but on heavier grounds, dry and the leaves tr., turn yellow, Or) in *: g m ain Can lllu te ei r i b picking is expected to be gene cal . about tn e er u a o ff i begin ning coming goa has fhi lookn ut beencheckingo si hop. cki veryy ssuneo,w From ur wa y n w th e are d.
