MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Bank of England return completed to the Bth inst., shows some important variations. In the bullion the augmentation has not been quite so larg' as was generally expected, but this may in some measure be accounted for by the absorption of coin for the payment of agricultural labour. In the reserve of notes there is a large accumulation, viz., about half a million, and the other securities show a diminution of about one hundred thousand pounds. In the private deposits there is a falling off of about a million-and a-half, consequent upon the payments upon the late Indian Loan, &c. The public deposits have in creased nearly two millions, owing to the active collection of the revenue previous to the payments of the dividends on the New 3 per Cents, and the Reduced Annuities. In the active circulation there is a diminution of about a quarter of a million, indicating that trade generally continues languid. In the other items of the balance-sheet there is little alteration to call for special remark ; they will be seen in the subjoined table Active Circulation .. £20,013,560 • Decrease .. 289,260 Bullion .. .. 18,039,465 Increase .. 212,269 Rest .. .. 3,692,610 Increase' .. 2,638 Public Deposits 7,535,733 Increase .. 1,907,878 Other Deposits. 12,267,046 Decrease .. 1,407,742 Seven Day and other Bills 770,477 .• Decrease .. 19,989 .

I . Per cent. under the Official mini =um. Notwithstanding the advances in stock which the authorities are making, it is hardly ex pected that the other securities. will yet show any great augmentation, for the monied firms have extensive supplies available for all legitimate pur poses, which they will endeavour to employ by contenting themselves with rates of interest a free tiron below the established quotations of the Bank. The inquiry for money is not very animated, but a. fair amount of discount business is nevertheless in course of transaction. The large influx of gold tends to preserve the easiness of the market, and The wants of the commercial community are. readily s upplied. The amount of gold taken into the Bank yester i fay was £44,000, and it is expected that the whole ctf the £428,000 by the Avon, from Australia, will 1k similarly appropriated. - In the Foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon, t he rates on Hamburg and Amsterdam were rather tigher, but the other quotations were unchanged. _ _ Accounts from Liverpool report that the cotton Darket yesterday closed very firmly, and 12,000 bales were disposed of at_ full rates. Since Monday last the imports of specie have be rn about £749,912, and the exports £69,400, exclusive of the following shipments direct from L =don to the. Continent, during the week ending 7,laurSday last : Gold Coin—Boulogne ~ „ —Hambro' Silver „ —Rotterdam , —Boulogne :: Eliza—Rotterdam The Funds opened buoyantly, at an improve m rent of 1 per cent., owing probably to the favour t)le Bank return, but sellers then came forward, ad a reaction ensued. The market, however, was v•?.ry, dull, , especially towards the close, and the n ob.-appearance of the Bank broker as a buyer a ppcared to increase the general inactivity. Con- Os were 971 for money, and 971 d for account. They left off, however, at 97 to 971 and 971 1 r espectively. The New 3 per Cents, and the Re d treed.

LAW INTELLIGEXCE-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. RE WILLIAMS. BANKRUPTCY AND CHANCERY.—This bankrupt was described as of Ludgate-hill, umbrella manufacturer, and to-day came up to pass his last examination on accounts prepared by Mr. March, Basinghall-street. The debts were not large, and the bankruptcy appeared to have arisen through some Chancery proceedings in which the bank rupt had been involved. It appeared that he had previously t 011857 been in partnership with a person named Eccles. Both, however, were made bankrupt separately, and an injunction was obtained against the present bankrupt, prohibiting him from interfering with the assets of the firm, but he was ultimately appointed receiver, and he gave security, and part of his present liabilities arose on a debt due to his sureties, an adverse judgment having been obtained against him for a larger amount than was thought to be due to the estate of Eccles. Mr. Pook appeared for the bankrupt, and Mr. Mason (Mason and Start), for the assignees. His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the second class. IN RE SIMON. This bankrupt had carried on business as a wine and spirit merchant in London, and came up to pass his last examination. Mr. Chidley was for the assignees, Mr. Pook for the bankrupt. The preliminary statement, furnished from the office of Messrs. Hart Brothers, showed debts about £1,664 ; assets, good and doubtful debts, £1,280. An application was made for an adjournment, as the ac counts had not been filed. His Honour asked what was the cause of the delay ? Mr. Hayles said that, unfortunately, the bankrupt had been confined in Whitecross-street Prison, and the delay was unavoidable. His Honour then granted an adjournment at the expense of the estate. IN RE WALTON AND WALTON. These bankrupts were described as csf Gracechurch-street, and Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, ship and insurance brokers, and now came up and passed their last examina tion. The balance-sheet shows debtor to creditors unse cured, £46,790 ; ditto holding security, £4,388. Assets— cash at Bank of England, £l6 ; property, £69 ; ditto in hands of creditors, £12,579 ; debtors good, £1,073 ; doubt ful, £lB9 ; bad, £953, and having claims against the estate of Charles Walton. POLICE LATTELLIGEIVCE.—(Thi.s Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING BRICKS FROM SEWER WORKS.— Martin Dowd, a labourer, James ravey, a bricklayer, and William Tutton, a butcher, were charged, the former with stealing and the two latter with receiving, a quantity of bricks, the property of Mr. Edward Thirst, the contractor for the building of sewers for the vestry of St. James's. Cook, 175 C, said that, at four that morning, he saw the prisoner Dowd go up to the stack of bricks in Hopkin's street, and pick up about a dozen and walk away with them. He followed and stopped him, and sprang his rattle r when the prisoner Tutton came cut of Berwick-street'and said, " Martin, where have you been ? we have been wait ing for those bricks," and returned to 6, Berwick-street. He then took Dowd to the station, and on returning to the house, found Pavey and Tutton there. Dowd said, when he took him, the bricklayer sent him for them, as he was laying a copper at the house. Pavey having 'admitted he was the bricklayer doing the work, he took him into custody. There was a large quantity of bricks about the place exactly corresponding with those at the works. The prisoner Tatton was employed by the owner of the house, who was a pork butcher. Sergeant Glass, 3 C, said he went to the house and saw Pavey setting a copper. There was a large quantity of new brick fresh laid, and Pavey said the labourer had brought them. He had taken two of the bricks from those set Aid they exactly corresponded in every particular with thoso Dowd had taken from the works. Believed that above 100 had been taken. Mr. Edward Thirst, of John-street, Chelsea, said he was contractor for the works, and the bricks produced were part of a large quantity belonging to him which were at the works. He knew nothing of the prisoners. Pendrill, the watchman, said the bricks were taken from a gateway out of the line' of works. He had seen Dowd pass once or twice but did not suspect his object. Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said Dowd had been con victed of stealing lead, and Sergeant Guramer was in attendance to prove it. The prisoners, who had nothing to say, were remanded. THAMES. SUFFERING INNOCENCE.—UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF FELONY.--Mary Ann Cosgrove, a servant girl, aged 14, surrendered on bail to answer a charge of stealing a £5 Bank of England note, the property of her master, J. W. Snowden, a drugilist, : of No. 15, Gloucester-terrace, New road, Stepney. The prosecutor, on the first examination, made a statement that itlwas with great regret he appeared against the girl, - who was very saucy and petulant, and abio~ self-willed, and thaf he should be glad if an asylum or re- formatory Would open their doors to her, and she might become a good girl. He then formally charged her with stealing a £5 note, which h6inissed from a desk in a room to which the girl had access: The note had not been traced, but he could not fix his suspicions on any one else but the prisoner, who, he was afraid, had fallen into very bad courses. The girl, who was in a state of great agitation, loudly protested her innocence, and said she had never been dishonest in her life. Mr Sclfe had held her to bail in her own recognisance this (lay. The prosecutor now said he had found the bank-note he charged the prisoner with stealing, lie discovered it in his pocket-book on Sunday evening last, and he must have put it there. His wife had been to the girl's urotha to assure her of her perfect innocence. He was very sorry for having made such a rash charge.. He No mad e compen sation to the girl, and would continut to interest himself in her behalf. Mr. Selfe was glad there was this terntination to the case ; and could not help remarking that the prosecutor should have been more careful, and that on the first exa mination he (the prosecutor) had said many things to the prejudice of the girl which he ought ought not to have done. There was not the least disgrace or dbrcredit at tached to the girl. She was perfectly hutment, and he had great pleasure ua discharging her free from taint and sus picion. A MOST EXPENSIVE SMASH IN A PITELIC-ITOUSE.-- Julia Mahoney, 31, a most reckless and desperate woman, who looked GO, and was in a wretched plight from disease, dissipation, and drink, was brought before Mr. Self° , charged with destroying £24 worth of plate glass in of the Angel public-house, Back-road, Shad— front ellho prisoner has spent many yea rs o f h er life in 4- ne ' M .

R. Stone, barman at the Angel, said prisoner was there on Friday for several hours, and demanded liquor, with which he refused to supply her. She was noisy and intoxicated, and he removed her several times from the house. When he ejected her at one door she came in at another, and threatened to smash everything in the place. He removed the pots and glasses off the counter to prevent mischief, and a man, on her promise to leave, gave her a pint of porter. This made her worse instead of better, and she continued her disorderly conduct. She obtained possession of a piece of wood, and was about to break the windows, but was prevented, and he took the piece of wood away from her. After a series of rows, and the use of most in famous and blasphemous language, he put the prisoner out of the house and closed the doors upon her. He was obliged to open them - again for business, and the prisoner, in spite of every obstacle, rushed into the house again, took up a pint pot and smashed the plate glass windows. Mr. &lie—What is the value of them ? Witness-124. Ilere is a piece of ono window (produc ing a piece of thick plate glass). Mr. Selfe—.£2-1. I am only empowered, under the Act of Parliament, to order £5 or two mouths' imprisonment. Is it profitable in this district to have plate glass windows ? Witness—All the plate glass is insured. Mr. Selfe—l have heard many of these cases, and the pr(qoium ought to be high. The prisoner said the barman told her she might break as many windows as she pleased. This was denied by Stone. James Stockley, 56 K, saw a great part of the disorderly conduct of the prisoner. who struck him 'violently. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner behaved well under discipline in prison, and that was the best place for her. He ordered her to find bail, herself in £2O, and two sureties of £lO each, to keep the peace for three months ; and as no one would become bail for her, that would keep her in prison for three months. THE AUSTFALIANMAILS.---The Australian Mail just brought home in the Tcviot contained 94,000 letters. If the Victoria mail steamer had arrived out at Australia before the Teviot's mails had been despatched, it is expected that she would have brought home ten or fifteen thousand more letters than she did, in answers to the Victoria's cor respondence. SUICIDE OF A FEMALE 68 YEARS OLD.—Yester day a suicide of a lamentable character occurred at No. 4, Church-terrace, 'Waterloo-road. The police and several of the neighbours immediately proceeded to the house, and on entering the ft-cut : kitchen perceived a fearful spectacle, for on the floor was lying a female named Humphries, 68 years of age, with her throat cut almost from ear to ear, the boards covered with gore, and a large tableknifo at her side, smeared with blood. The poor creature was evidently just breathing her last. Medical aid was at once sent for, and Mr. Young, the assistant to Dr. Johnson, of the York road, promptly attended, but not in time to be of any assistance, as the poor creature expired a few seconds after his arrival. There being no one in the room at the time beyond the deceased, not the least doubt can be entertained but that she committed the rash act herself. The body has been taken charge of by Mr. Adamson, the beadle, to await au iinuot T EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. LITERATURE. -1 Journey Due Yorth. By George A. Sala. Bentley. r - This is a very agreeable Volume, containing notes cf the fiat h or's -resid: nee in - Russia during the sum mer of i 856, It is written In d fresh and animated manner, Which imparts a delightful novelty to a subject that has occupied the pens of a good many travellers, and wearied a large number of readers and critics since the famous Turkish question. A boita.fidc - description of the interior of Russia, by an Englishman, is still something of a novelty, and has decidedly the. advantage over Turkey, Cir cassia, the Crimean battle-fields, and similar localities. The author starts in the true spirit of an enthusiastic traveller, and tells ns how a trip to the grim land of the Czar and Count Orloff's police; was one of his childish visions. He thus amusingly relates his early dreams on the subject : " When I was a little lad, the maps were my story-books. The big marble-pap er . covered atlas, only to 'be thumbed on high days and holidays, had greater charms for me than even Fox's Martyrs or the Seven-Champions. With this atlas and a paunchy volume with a piecrust cover (was it Brothes' or Maunder's Gazetteer ?) what romances I wove what poems I imagined ! what castles in the air I built ! what household words I made of foreign cities! what subtle knowledge I had of the three Arabias—Arabia Petra, Arabia Deserta, and Arabia Felix! How I longed for the time when I should be big enough to go to Spain (shall I ever be big enough to make that journey, I wonder ?)—what doughty projects I formed against the day when I should be enabled to travel on an elephant in Bengal, and a r( li deer in Lapland, and a mule in the Pyrenees, and an ostrich in Kabylia, and a crocodile in Nubia, like Mr. • Waterton ! But my special story-book was that vast patch on the map of Europe marked Russia. In Europe quotha ! Did not Russia stretch far, far into Asia, and fait her still into America? I never was satiated with this part of the atlas. There was perpetual winter in Russia., of course. The only means of travelling was on a sledge across the snowy Steppes. Packs of wolves invariably followed in pursuit howling fearfully for prey. The traveller was always provided With a stock of live babies, whom he loved dearer than life itself, but whom he threw out, nevertheless, to the wolves one by one, at half-mile distance or so. Then he threw out his lovely and attached wife (at her own earnest request, I need not say), and then the wolves, intent. on a third course, leaped into the sledge, and made an end of him. It used to puzzle me considerably as to how the horses escaped being eaten in the commencement, for the sledge alwayS kept going at a tremendous rate; and I was always in a state of ludicrous uncertainty as to the steppes —what .they were made of,—wood .or stone, or turf; whether children ever sat on them with babies in their arms (but the Wolves would never have allowed that, surely) ; and how many steps went to a flight. There was attraction enough to me, goodness knows, in the rest of the atlas ; in boot-shaped Italy ; in Africa, huge and yellow as a pumpkin, and like that esculent, little excavated ; in the Red Sea (why did they always colour it. pea-green in the map ?) ; but the vasty Russia with its appurtnances was my great storehouse of romance. The Baltic was a con. tinual wonder to me. • How could ships ever get into it when there were the Great and Little Belts, and the ' Kraken, and the Maelstrom, and the icebergs, and the polar bears to stop the way. - Russia (on the map) was one vast and delightful region of mysteries, and adventures, and perilous expeditions ; a glorious wonder-land of czars who lived in wooden houses disguised as shipwrights; of Cossacks continually careering on lung-maned ponies, and with lances like Maypoles; of grisly bears, sweet-smelling leather, ducks, wolves, palaces of ice, forests, steppes, frozen lakes, caftans, long beards, Kremlins, and Ivan the Terribles. Never mind the knout; never mind the perpetual winter; never mind the passage of the Beresina----I put Russia down in my juvenile itinerary as a place to be visited, collte qui coute, as soon as I was twenty-one. I remember, when I was about half that age, travelling on the top of an omnibus from Mile-end to be Bank with a philosophic individual in a red plaid cloak. He told me he had lived ten years in Russia (Rooshia, he pronounced it), and gave me to understand confidentially that the czar ruled his subjects with a rod of iron. I grieved when he departed, though his conversation was but common-place. I followed him half-way up Cornhill, gazing at the red plaid skirts of his cloak flapping in the breeze, and 'revering him as one who had had vast and wonderful experiences—as a Sindbad the Sailor, multiplied by Marco Polo. Oh, for my twenty first birthday, and my aunt's legacy,and hey for Russia 1" At length, when fairly started for his expedition, various vexatious delays hindered his progress. His despair at his long detention at Stettin, wait ing for the ice in the Gulf of Finland to take pity upon northern travellers, is pathetically described ; his passport difficulties, recalling the exploits of Jack and the Giants, are sufficient to deter any rash or impetuous persons from putting themselves in the way-of such trials of temper. At length he joined himself with the rest of his fellow-passengers undergoing the inspection of the Custom-house at St. Petersburg. After narrating the old story of Sehinderhannes, the Robber of the Rhine, and the caravan of Jews, he proceeds to describe the system adopted by these delightful officials : ".

He is versed in the literature of both countries, and talks of Sam Weiler and JeromaPaturot with equal facility.

He has been in the army, like the vast majority of his order, and is learned in horses, dogs, and a•eneral sportsmanship; a branch of knowledge that clashes strangely with his gras- sailleing Parisian accent. He proposes ecarte in an interval of chat ; but finding, that I am but a poor cardplayer, he shows me a few tricks on the cards sufficient to set a mo derately ambitious wizard up inhusincss on the spot, and contentedly relinquishes the pack for the pianof or t e , on which he executes such brilliant voluntaries, that I can see the hard-favoured visage of Miss:Wapps gaging d own a t us through the saloon skylight in discontented admiration —that decisive lady marvelling doubtless how such an accomplished Russian can condescend to waste his time and talents on such a trumpery mortal as I am, He shows me an arum bound in green velvet, and with his cipher, and coronet embroidered. in rubies thereupon, and filled with drawings of his own execution. He rolls paper cigarettes with the dexterity of a Castilian caballero ; and he ias. the most varied and exact statistical knowledge on all sorts of topics, political, social, agricultural, and literary, of any man foyer met with. And this is, believe me, as ordinary and everyday-to-be-found specimens of the Russian gentle men as the unlettered, unlicked, uncouth, untravelled John Smith one meets at a Boulogne boarding-house is of an English esquire. My friend, the Russian, has his little peculiarities ; without being in the slightest degree grave or sententious, that facile mouth of his is never curved into a genuine smile ; those dark-grey eyes of his never look you 14, the face ;1e §epu Acyg tied ciriaiPg chwpagne, and never in the least flushed thereby ; and finally, and above all, I noverhear him express an opinion that any hmnan thing is right. or wrong.

The great Russian Boguey, as the author terms the secret police, appear to possess a terrible übiquity. It strikes the traveller on his first arrival. There are thirty passengers by the Prussian steamer ; they eat, and drink, and talk together, mingling freely as voyagers and wanderers, but only twenty-nine take their places at the table in the cabin, where each has to give an account of himself and his passport to the officials. The 30th passenger takes his scat among these officials, asking his fellow travellers, with cool politeness, what their business might be ? He devotes an entire chapter to the especial description of this Boguey,which certainly appears in very unattractive colours, whether as a preserver of public ordor, or an uninvited constant companion. "The Ischvostchiks," "The Merchants and M oney - c h angers ," " Th e R uss i an Village," Music," People," & " The Drama in Russia," "The Black c., all occupy different chapters, and are described in the livelystyle. and with the keen penetration which we find . in most of this writer's pages. This work is as animated a compound of sense and nonsense, anecdote and humour, as one can readily meet in a traveller's tale ; yet with it all the reader lays it down with a somew=hat melan choly feeling. The perpetual superv i s i on an d ü bi quity of the police : the hopelessne ss o f appea l f rom any grievance or injustice, the monotonous dejec tion of the people, the absence of all spirit, energy, or enjoyment of life in thousands of toiling labour ers, all combine to impress the denizen of a free country with a sense of oppression and gloom. Some of the hardships may have been ameliorated since the author's visit, but it is to be apprehended that much still remains to make a " Journey Due North" more pleasant in Mr. Sala's real pages than in earnest. The Seaman's Pocket Animal for 1858, Compiled by John Mayo, Esq. O'nyrne, Brothers. This useful little compendium is issued for the benefit of masters, apprentices, and seamen. It contains all information likely to be required for the regulation of affairs between masters and sea men, matters of salvage, pilotage, &e. Another remarkable feature is the explanation of the system of signal flags for the commercial code, of which coloured illustrations are given, and of the ensigns worn by foreign merchant vessels. The best plans for preserving life from shipwreck, and in accidents, and casualties, &c., are fully and clearly explained, and the names of the principal officers of the Board of Trade, the Marine Board, and a list of the Sailors' societies are also added. The volume is published with the sanction and approval of the Board of Trade, which renders its information authentic. 100 Agra&UnitedServiceßk 50 07 8 40 Australasia all 88 90 25 Bank of Egypt all 234 24xd 100 Bank of London 5O 45 47 40 Brit.

All France is honoured by another miracle. It occurred close on th e f e t es o f Ch er b ourg . A peasant girl, of the Fren c h P yrenees , was engage d i n h er t ordinary pursuits, when suddenly a figure appeared to her in a grotto, whom she had no difficulty in recognising. The , figure was the Virgin Mary. That was one miracle ; but it was followed by another. The grotto was very pretty before, but it now became useful. It had previously no water; now a spring was bestowed upon the inhabitants of the Pyrenean parish. Infidels and Protestants might not believe in the figure whom they had not seen, but the spring at least was within the grasp of their degraded intellects. A commission has been employed to examine the story. The members are charged particularly to test the water of the well. If it should have the slightest pretence to the honour it is to be sold in bottles for the benefit of the district. Perhaps it may be more profitable to sell the water in another way. A village might be built there. A shrine might be formed. If the place have the slighest claim for natural beauty, that should not be difficult. Devotees would take the ground consecrated in this peculiar manner. That mode, moreover, of turning this girl's vision into permanent profit might have another advan tage. It would compel the girls of othe r t owns t o examine grottoes with attention and care. It might elicit other miracles. There is abundance of space on the Pyrenees for small villages of pretty houses, with neat gardens, capable of being used as summer retreats, not only in thC common, but the ecclesiasti cal meaning of the word " retreats." Penance on the Pyrenees would be lightened by the change of scenery to the inhabitants of Lyons or of Paris. They would descend to the cares and labours of the plains doubly invigorated. They would derive health of body and of mind by their exercises, their meditations, and, if necessary, their stripes, but the latter would be light in these mountains. No doubt other and envious parishes and villages would es tablish rivals. So much the better. Too many miracles will not occur. Cardinal Wiseman is now in Ireland. There he proclaims the cold want of enthusiasm that freezes him in Eng land. He sees it in the rigid features of the solid crowd. Nothing will move them. Hi s eloquence falls on adamant or flint, or, at the best, granite, like that of the Mourne Mountains ; but when he reaches Ireland he is refreshed by enthusiasm, by smiles, by tears, by fervour and gratitude and.warmth,—by faith, of which, never theless, he holds that Martin Luther made a bad use. He first learnt the English language, he says, in Ireland ; and he is like the old classic gentleman who gathered new strength and vigour always when he fell on his mother earth. The Cardinal re turns to England from Ireland refreshed—a new man, with a store of vigour for England to wear out. It may be all natural and true ; but while France finds, Ireland loses " the holy wells." They were places of pilgrimage there long ago, and they arc now forgotten. The peasant passes around them behind his plough, instead of on his knees. D evotec,%3 do not look there for blessings. They do not go there in payment of their vows. Ireland retro grades, France progresses. In the matter of holy wells France is in the year 1558 as contrasted with Ireland. This is a fact which Cardinal Wiseman should not overlook. To Rostrevor, or a Wicklow mountain, an event like that of the Pyrenees would be fortune.—Glasgow Bulletin. THIS _DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

An inquest was recently opened at Bradford, by Mr. Jewison, coroner; on the body of a youth named John Snowden Harrison ; aged 16 years, who had died rather suddenly, after being under the treatment of several duly authorised medical , , prac titioners, but• the interment of whose corpse was stopped in consequence of the last medical attend ant, Dr. Brady (a homoeopathist), having returned a certificate to t\he effect that death was the result of the over-administration of strychnine. The in quest was adjourned to give opportunity to Mr. F. W. Rimmington, analytical chemist, to analyse the contents of the stomach. The adjourned inquiry was held at Bradford on Wednesday, and occupied- - five hours, the evidence, which was very conflicting, being altogether medi cal and scientific ; in fact, the case, in consequence of publicity having been given to it, appeared to have excited considerable commotion amongst the medical men in the neighbourhood, of whom there were eight or nine present, includinc , two homoeo pathic practitioners—Dr. Brady aneDr. Brereton. The medical witnesses, Dr. Brady and Mr. J. N. Terry, alleged that the appearances of the post ',wile??? examination, which they had. made jointly, indicated death id be caused by asphyxia, produced by over doses of iita r9»nca, from which strychnine was drawn. Mr. Terry, who had attended the deceased after Mr. Field, found him sufferinF from St. Vitus's dance or chorea, and had accorditsiy administered medicine compounded of tincture of iron, tincture of iodine, and cinnamon water; and at the same time recommending the removal of ihc patient to the seaside as a better remedy for the disease. Mr. William Field, finding the disease one of a desperate character, admitted that he. had . after this preSeribed 1 2 powders of mix romkna of ten grains each, On to be administered every 12 hours ; at the same time telling the parent of the lad what the medicine was. Two of the powders Were taken, • one on the 27th ultimo, and the other on the 2tith ; but the deceased refused to take more, saying the medi cal man should not " Palmer" him. Mr. Field justified his treatment in giving the powders of «,f romica as being perfectly consistent, under the circumstances, with duly authorised medical prac- tics. Mr. Rimmington had made an analysis of the contents of the stomach, but had not detected the presence of strychnine. He thought that this, how .. ever, might be accounted for by the fact that such poison, whether given in flux romica or othewise, passed rapidly out of the syste m, a i d that two days had elapsed from the'time of taking the medicine and death ensuing. Mr. Joseph Harrison, father of the deceased, stated that his son died in perfect calm, and not in convulsions. • Dr. R. B. Lewis and Mr. Beach, surgeons, were called by Mr. Field in support of his mode of treat ment. The former gentleman, in opposition to Dr. Brady and Mr. Terry, stated that chorea was sometimes fatal.' He had himself seen such a case in Bartholomew's Hospital in 1831, .the patient being a `,7oung woman of 16 years, who, as in the prennt, instaive, bad previously been in rheumatic fever, and Iliac , welt selTral cases on record. Strychnine was reconimended in 1.641 by M. Trous seau, one of the highest medical Cuthorities in France, as the best remedy for chorea, arid he h m ad reported upon it at interva ls since, and still , crcio.cal mended it. It was a remedy which any meo2 man was justified in using. This was a severe ease, and a slight remedy would not have availed. N(..‘ one who did not see the case would he . i.us of n tified in saying the dose was too large.

The room was then cleared, and the jury were engaged in consulting for a long time.
