I - ON.E7 ITIARKET AND CITY NEW e. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have shown rather more activity; prices, however, have in some instances slightly given way. At the public sales of tea a decline of d. per lb. took place on the inferior qualities. Sugars were in fair request at about late values; but coffee, rice, and spices have each shown slight symptoms of depression. For fruit there has been a steady demand. At the drug sales previous prices were realised in most articles. Salpetre was inactive, and tallow dull, P.Y.C. to the end of the year being quoted 595. 6d. to 595. 9d. p er cwt. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with increased animation, and prices advanced Id. to Id. per lb. About 16,000 bales were sold. In Railway Shares the transactions were limited, and quotations tended downwards. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. A call of £2 per share, amounting to £400,000, is due to-day on the Great Indian Peninsula, New, Railway Shares. An active demand for money is still reported in the discount market, and at the Bank of England a fair amount of busines is now transacted. Full rates, consequently, prevail, very few bills being negotiated under the minimum charged at that establishment. The half -yearly meeting of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company took place to-day, M r. Hamilton in the chair. The gross receipts of the half year amounted to £87,606 13s. 3d., and the ,, expenses to £39,091 Bs. lid., leaving a net pr o nt of £48,515 4s. 4d., or an increase of £23,424 12s. 16d• compared - with the correspondi ng p er i o d of 1 858. The permanent way and works bad been maintained in good condition. The c hairman regretted that the progress of the rem a i n i ng works had no t b een as rap id as was ex pected ; but it was still satisfactory as to the Probability of a considerable further length being Opened during the next year. By the statement of receipts and expenditure it appeared that the ac '•e:rintleirtes on with ith the Govern men t s t oo d as follows : paid-up capital to June 30, 1859, J . 7°,6 79 7s. 5d.; net revenue of opened lines to m une 30, 185 9, £181,698 10 8 . 11d. ; total, £578,980 168' 6 d.

SECOND DAY. The trial was resumed this morning by the examina• tion of Dr. Barker, one of the physicians of St. Thomas's Hos pital, who said he had heard the whole of the evidence, and ho could not account for the death of the deceased by any known disease. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—The pest mortem ap pearances, he should say, had not arisen from natural causes. He did not mean to say they might not arise from natural disease, but such would be quite opposed to his ex perience and professional knowledge. He did not believe a poison could be generated in the system without the in• troduction of an irritant from without to produce inflamma tion of the mucus membrane of the stomach. He had formed no opinion with respect to the irritant taken from the stomach of the deceased. Dr. Garrard, physician to University Hospital, said—l have heard all the evidence, and from the symptoms under which the deceased was labouring, the post mortem appear ances, and the acrid matter found in the stomach, in my medical judgment lam unable to explain the death. I can only attribute it to the action of an irritant poison. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l should not arrive at that opinion taking the symptoms singly. In cases of pur pureal fever the whole body is in a poisonous state. Par pureal fever generally sets in within a fortnight or three weeks from the time of confinement. The deceased had been up four weeks. I never attended a post mortem ex amination where death was occasioned by croton oil. Re-examined by the Solicitor-General—Taking the whole' history of the case, I should have the greatest suspicion that death was caused by an arritant poison. After attend ing a post-mortem, and there seeing the appearances de scribed by the witnesses, I should be strengthened in that opinion. lam certainly of opinion that the poisonous sub stance found in the stomach of the deceased could not have been generated in the body while living. Mr. Thomas Clewlow said—l am a shoemaker, residing at Upper Sydenham. I remember the prisoner coming to my shop. I think it was on the 2d of June. It was on a Thursday. He came to ask for work. I afterwards en gaged him as an out-door hand. He worked for roc for about twelve weeks until he was apprehended. Ho went by the name of Frederick Strange. I used to call him Fred. • John Hicks—l am a carpenter, living at Sydenham, The prisoner lodged at my house. He came on Friday, the 3d of June. He remained at my house until within three weeks of his apprehension, which took place on the 29th of August. I merely knew him by the name of Fred. I understood from Mr. Clewlow that his name was Frederick Strange. I knew that he came from Poplar. Police-constable Best—l apprehended the prisoner at Sydenham on the 29th of August. A reward had been offered for his apprehension. I found him at Mr. Clewlow's. When I said, " Ah, Mr. Royal, how do you do ?" he seemed agitated, and turned pale. I said, " Don't you know me ?" He said "I do not." I said "Didn't you know me atiPoplar ?" He answered, "Oh yes, I know you quite well." I had never seen him at Poplar—l had never seen him before to my knowledge. He asked me to go upstairs, and then he said, "I knew you directly I saw you." I was in private clothes. I said, "Your name is Royal, is it not ?" Ho answered "Oh yes, my name is Royal." I said, " With reference to my taking ' you into custody for poisoning a woman ; I suppose you un derstand that ?" He said, "Yes, I understood that as soon as I saw you.:.' I said, "I suppose since you've been living here you've been expecting some one would come after you." He replied, "Yes, how could I be any other way ?" I then took him to the police station at Syden ham, and from thence to London. : .:_ Cross-examined by Mr. Selfe—l did not represent my self as a friend of his, although I wished him to infer such, as I was not sure he was tho person I wanted. I have never been to Poplar in my life. The Solicitor• General said that was the case for the prosecution. Mrs.] Stubbs recalled—and in answer to Mr. Sleigh said the deceased was in the habit of putting common washing soda in the tea pot. Mr. Sleigh—How much did she put in? Witness—l don't know, but I know I have been ill after drinking the tea. The Lord Chief Baron—How do you know she used to put soda into the tea-pot ? • Witness—She told mo so during the time I was attending her in her confinement. The Lord Chief Baron—Did you put it in during the time you were with her Witness—No.. I refused to do so. The Lord Chief Baron—When did you last see the de ceased put the soda into the tea-pot ? Witness—She made the tea the Friday before she was taken ill. I partook of it, and I became very ill. Mr. Sleigh—What sensation did it produce ? Witness—lt gave me a pain in my stomach. Mr. Sleigh—Were you not frightened to drink the tea ? Witness—No. I was not frightened to drink that which I saw another person drinking. Mr. Sleigh—What kind of teapot did she use ? Witness—lt was a common earthenware one. The Lord Chief Baron—Did you ask her why she used it ? Witness—Yes. She said it was to make the tea look strong. The Lord Chief Baron—Did you ever know any other person use it ? Witness—No. The Lord Chief Baron—What, not to make hard water soft ? Witness—No, not the common soda. I have known peresns to use the ‘Leabinet" (carbonate) soda, not the Common. Dr. Letheby recalled. Tho L.rd Chief Baron—Dr. Letheby, you have heard what has been just said; does it in any way alter your opinion ? Dr. Letheby—Not in the least. Soda is commonly put into the teapot by those who wish to have apparently a strong cup of tea. The Lord Chief Baron—There is a difference between the two substances ? Witness—Yes, one is a bicarbonate, the other a mineral. There is very little impurity in the common soda used for washing purposes. Mr. Sleigh—Taken in large quantities, it would act in juriously ? Witness--yes; passing down the throat it would be accompanied by a burning sensation. Soda will not dissolve in alcohol or other, so it could not affect what I found in my analysis. The Solicitor-General—What do you call a large quan- tity ? Witness—l think # oz. in solution a large quantity. The Solicitor-General—What is your opinion with. re spect to the quantity used by the deceased ? Witness—l don't think the quantity usually put into a teapot could produce any very bad effect. Lord Chief Baron—Would it have interfered with your tests ? Witness—No. The other medical gentlemen examined were this morning recalled by the Lord Chief Baron, and in answer to ques tions gave a similar opinion. Mr. Sleigh then rose to address the jury for the prisoner, and said he was fully sensible of the forbearing and con ciliating manner in which the learned gentlemen who appeared on the part of the Crown had conducted the pro secution. The learned Solictor-General had under taken to prove that the death of the deceased was cuused by poison, and that administered by the prisoner. The jury would have to say whether --each separately and then the whole collectively—they wore so certain that the prisoner at the bar was guilty of the crime attributed to him as to entertain no just or reasonable doubt. He felt confidently that the medical evidence which had been ad duced had been of the most meagre and unsatisfactory na ture imaginable; and he felt, moreover, that there was not a tittle of evidence with regard to the moral circumstances of the case which implicated the prisoner participating in any manner in the death of the unfortunate woman. It was beyond all doubt she was a person of very careless habits—that she went out in all kinds of weather very shortly after her confinemen ; and it was proved in evi dence by Mrs. Allen that shortly before she was taken ill she had to caution the deceased against putting On wet stockings. Then, again, the circumstances of the prisoner and the deceased were of the most straightened descrip tion, and they all knew upon what sort of food such people had to exist—he could hardly say live—upon. The beer that such persons could afford to purchase was generally of the • most wretched description, and that which, it was in evidence, had been obtained, he doubted not, was such that either of the gentlemen upon the jury would forbid any of their relatives, espe cially females, partaking. How different would have been the case of the prisoner had he been in the pos session of pecuniary means to procure the attendance of living testimony to refute the theories that had been advanced by the medical evidence, who had disputed many of the authorities he had advanced. For the prisoner, it was unfortunate, because he felt certain that had he been in more affluent circumstances, numbers of scientific witnessess might have been obtained to contradict that which had been stated in terms which were remarkable for their similarity. Tie could not contradict it by books as the law prevented him from using them. The learne ' l h gen tleman then proceeded to dwell withmuch force uponnd also e t i upon the idosyncracies of the human system, pointing out that that which was wholesome food to one person might a uncertainties of pathological appearances, prove virulent poison t e o m a a n i o n t e h d er. Allyatery the present moment a , these highly dangerous under such circumstances to arrive at a r mystery, atnhidnigts would had up beto settled conclusion upon a certain point upon which the greatest doubts existed. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.] The following is the conclusion of yesterday's evidence, which appeared in our late edition,-- Mr. Robert Webb, of No. 1, Manor-place, East India road, surgeon, was examined by Mr. Welsby. He said he first saw deceased on the night of Tuesday, the 31st April, in consequence of an order from Mr. Jeffrey. Mr. Smith accompanied him. The deceased had cold perspirations, and the abdomen was very tender on pressure. She stated that she was perfectly well up to the previous evening, when soon after partaking of some coffee she felt great pain and heat in her throat, and a burning seu iation. in her sto mach. After some time she vomited and was purged, which continued up to the middle of the day. Mr. Smith told me what he had prescribed for her. I desired it to be continued. I thought at the time that it might be a bad case of English cholera. On the Thursday I again saw the patient, and found her much worse. She then said she had taken some milk, and that she afterwards had the burniwg sensations in her throat. On the afternoon of Wednesday the prisoner came to me with Mrs. Allen, the landlady, and stated that he wished to speak to me privately. I took hi m i n t o th e surgery ; when lie told me his wife has been suffering from the ve nereal disease for about two years, and observed that I could not account for the symptoms, and that they were either the result of cold or some irritant. He then said she went out on Monday; and put on a pair of wet stockings. On the Thursday the deceased's mother brought me some vomited matter. I put it in a cupboard and locked it. I found on the Thursday that all the burning symp toms had returned, and then ordered calomel, opium, and external applications of turpentine. She was evidently sinking, and he told the persons in the room she would not live. Witness asked her after she was in danger why she took the'. coffee on Monday night;. She replied, "He gave it me and it was very bitter. ' I made a post mortenz examination of the body on the Mon day morning in the deceased's room. The appearanv : s were as follow :—The abdomen was much distended with gas. A quantity of coloured fluid was escaping from the mouth and nostrils. The rigidity of the muscles had passed away. The stomach was much disturbed, and in it was a reddish fluid. The contents witness set aside in a bottle from four to six ounces in size. The lining membrane was highly congested. The small intestines were much inflamed, and a portion about two feet from the stomach more intensely so than else where. Several parts of the lining membrane had blistered. The Jiver and kidneys, and other organs, were healthy. We found no trace of venereal disease. I set aside the stomach and its contentslfor analysation a fortnight after the body of the deceased was exhumed, and the whole was sent to Dr. Letheby for analysis. I was present when Dr. Letheby made his examination. I attribute the death of the deceased to some irritant poison. Some of the poison ex tracted was applied to Dr. Letheby's lip, and produced in a quarter of an hour asore with intense inflammation around it. It was accompanied by a burning sensation. lam not aware that any poison is used in the trade of a shoemaker except oxalic acid. lam not able to pronounce positively what the irritant was that was extracted. It might be ... An _ tharides or croton oil, or a combination of both. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—At the time I was first called in diarrhoea was prevalent in the no i :ghbourhood of Gough-street, and the description given b deceased induced me to believe that her illness was an attack of English cholera. I know the medicine Mr. Smith administered. It was calomel and opiuna—..n proportions of three of calo mel and two of opium --which would not purge. I had previously given so Le chalk mixture. Lam of opinion that the death of the woman was caused by some vegetable irri tant. The time that ensues between the introduction of poisonous matters and vomiting differs in many cases. I feel certain death was not caused by mineral poison. Croton oil will not dissolve in coffee--it will float on the surface if mixed with it, being the lighter body; but it can 'be well mixed up. I mean the globules can be well sepa rated. That can be easily done by dropping it on sugar. I have known a case of gastro entorytes. It resulted in ap pearances like that of the deceased. Re 'examined by the Solicitor-General—It does not fol low, because some description of oil was discovered, that it was administered in that form. Assuming death was the result from gastro entorytes, I should not expect to see first a sense of pain, then a cessation, then another return of the attack. NEWMARKET RACES-(THIS DAY.)

The Sollcitor-General—From all that has come to your knowledge in this case, what in your opinion is the cause of death ? Mr. Webb—l believe that the unfortunate woman died from the introduction of an irritant poison. Mr. It. Smith, surgeon, Cobham, Surrey, said—ln May last I was in partnership with Mr. Webb, medical officer of the Poplar Union. On the 31st May, between six and seven in the evening I received an order to attend the deceased. She was in bed, suffering extreme pain all over the bowels and stomach, dryness in the throat and mouth, tongue very -dry and red, with profuse diarrhoea and great tendency to vomiting, which the people in the house told me had ceased for a few hours. All the matter vomited was thrown away. I asked to see it, and was told what had been done with it. There was a great dryness about the mouth, but not amounting to blistering. I gave her 2f grs. of calomel, and l grain of opium to be taken immediately, followed by a chalk mixture. The medicine was given to Mrs. Stubbs. I supposed her to be suffering from a violent attack of diarrhoea, which might have arisen from various causes. I saw her again the same night, having heard as I left the house that some unfair treatment had been used to wards her. That was mentioned by Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Stubbs. When Mr. Webb and I called in the evening, Mr. Webb aprroved my treatment of the case. The deceased was then in great agony. There was perspiration on the forehead, and her countenance denoted the greatest pain. I saw her the next morning between 9 and 10, and found her much relieved. The prisoner was present. Her tongue and mouth were not so dry. Still she complained of great pain in her throat right down to her stomach. There was no sickness on the Wednesday. At that time the pain had diminished. I saw her again on the next day On the pre vious day (Wednesday) when I saw her I thought she was better. On Friday, the 3d of May, the day before she died, I saw her with Mr. Webb. There was a great change in her, and Mr. Webb thought she was dying. There were symptoms of peritonitis on the Friday. I was present at the post mortem examination of the body by Mr. Webb, and agreed with him in the results. I saw no signs of any venereal disease having existed. _ _ The Solicitor-Genei9l—To what do you attribute the death of the unfortunate woman ? Witness—l am of opinion that her death was caused by the introduction of some irritant into the system. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l have never made a post-mortem examination of a person dying from poison. Dr. Henry Letheby, Professor of Chemistry, Chemical Lecturer at the London Hospital, and Medical Officer of Health of the City of London, examined by the Solicitor- General, said—On Wednesday, the Bth June, I received from Mr. Webb four bottles. One had a human stomach and two pieces of the small intestines. A second bottle had a piece of liver, a . piece of kidney, and a piece of lung. A third bottle contained a liquid, and was marked " Matter vomited by Zipporab. Royal." A fourth bottle contained a _ . liquid, the contents of th - e stomach, and two feet of the in testines. The stomach was open and emptied. I observed that the inner coat of it was covered with a dark brown liquid or mucus. The stomach was found to be inflamed upon the mucus being removed and everywhere softened. There was a spot where the mucus membrane was entirely destroyed. A portion of the mucus was carefully examined under the microscope without being able to discover any thing but altered blood. I then submitted the stomach to analysis for mineral poisons, and found none. I searched for some organic poison, and obtained from an alco holic solution of the stomach one drop of oily looking matter, which I found by experiment was a very powerful irritant, for on applying it to the corner of my mouth it produced intense burning pain and great swelling of the lips. The irritation was followed by the appearance of small vesicles, or something like a blister. This irritation lasted for many days. I next exa mined the contents of the second bottle, which contained pieces of the liver, kidney, and lung s . I did not find any poison whatever in them. It was not tested for organic poisons. I next examined the matter which had been vomited. It amounted in quantity to 40z., and had the appearance of curds and whey, stained with a greenish yellow colour. I found it was coagulated milk, stained with the colouring matter 'of bile. The curd and the clear liquid had the same kind of acid matter in it as that which prevailed in the stomach. I lastly examined the contents of the stomach. The quantity was two fluid ounces. It was of a dark red brown colour, and had the consistence of thick gruel. It was very alkaline to the test paper, and consisted almost entirely of altered blood. I searched care fully for solid matter, and found only small pieces of vege table tissue. I examined thew for an organic poison, and obtained the same kind of acid matter which produced the same irritating effect on the o th er side of my mouth. I then searched for mineral poison, and found nothing but mercury. My opinion from this examination was that some irritant had been administered, the nature of which I could not precisely identify. I therefore requested the coroner to have an exhumation of the body for the purpose of further examination. On Tuesday, the 21st of June, Mr. Webb brought to the laboratory a large bottle containing portions of the intestines, the spleen, and the bladder of the deceased. Another bottle I also received, which contained portions of the liver and lungs. I examined six pieces of intestines, the spleen, bladder, uterus, and kidney. The intestines had been opened along the whole length. They were cover e d w ith the same kind of red brown mucus which I have taken from the stomach. The intestines were much inflamed. I searched carefully for solid particles, and found nothing but black currant seed. I then analysed for organic poison, and found the same kind of acrid mat ter as was found in the stomach. I thought this acrid matter might have been cantharides, but it produced a very different effect to that when experimented upon. I tried the effect of all pure acids, and found croton oil most resembled it in effect. Not being able to identify the nature of it chemically, I tried the effect of it on a guinea-pig. The coloured matter amounted to four grains only. It killed the animal in ten minutes, as I thought, by producing spasms at the entrance of the windpipe. I then removed the stomach and oesopha gus from the guinea-pig, and again extracted the poison, and tried its effects on three sparrows. The first was killed in four minutes, the second between four and five minutes, and the third, wnich I treated a little differently, di e d i n three days ; I treated it differently as an experiment. I dropped the poison into the mouths of the first and second birds, and added a little treacle and water to the poison I gave the third bird. The total quantity extracted from the stomach and intestines amounted to about four drops. I have made a great many experiments with vege table matter in order to endeavour to arrive at the nature of this matter, but have not succeeded. I have no doubt it is capable of producing the effects mentioned in this case.. Having seen three birds killed by it, and a guinea-pig also killed, and feeling myself the effects of it, I have no doubt but that it is a poison, and that it would produce the symptoms and the effects in the stomach that have been de scribed by Mr. Webb and Mr. Smith. It is like croton oil, or white hellebore. It is different from canth arides. A mixture of the two—l mean croton oil and white helle bore—would exactly produce the effect I have described. From the symptoms before death, the appearances and the results of the chemical analysis, and the experiments made on myself and on-birds and animals, lam of opinion there was present a powerful irritant taken by the deceased, and that it was the cause of her death. That powerful irritant must have been taken by the deceased, and could not have been spontaneously generated in the system. By the Solicitor-General—My opinion is not at all shaken that death was caused by an irritant poison. At the conclusion of Dr. Letheby's cross-examination, the Court adjourned until this morning. THAMES. WIFE DESERTION.-A poor careworn looking woman named Ann Dyer, who carried two infants (twins) in her arms, came before Mr. Yardley, a n d s t a t e d th a t s h e was i n great want, and had made application to the relieving officers of Mile-end Old Town for relief, or to be admitted into the workhouse, but her request had been refused, and she was told that she must find her husband, and their she would be relieved. Mr. Yardley--Where is your husband ? Applicant—l don't know, sir. Mr. Yardley —Oh yes, yofi. do. Applieant, who sobbed loudly—l really do not know where he is. He deserted me about two months ago, and left me with these twins and another child three years old. I am starving, sir, I have tasted only a bit of bread this day, and had no food yesterday, and they won't relieve me, sir. I have sold all my furniture a little at a time, and don't know how to procure another meal or a morsel for my children. Mr. Yardley said if the woman's story was true, she was very much to be pitied, but he did know that men left their families with the connivance of their wives, who, knowing where their husbands were at work, threw themselves on the parishes in which they lived for relief, to the manifest injury of the ratepayers. It was right that parish officers should investigate such cases with great care, and prevent imposition as much as possible. He thought if the woman had given all the information in her power to the relieving officer, she and her children would have been taken into the house. The applicant said she was desirous of giving every in formation. Her husband formerly worked for Mr. Jones, of Ratcliff-cross, and he stole his work, and abandoned her and her family. Mr. Yardley said that a communication should be for warded to Mr. Teaborne, the relieving officer of Mile-end Old-town, to inquire about the case, and he had no doubt whateeer that the poor woman and her children would be taken into the workhouse and maintained there until her husband could be found. The applicant then put in a letter from Mr. Wilson, an extensive boot and shoe manufacturer in the Whitechapel road, describing the woman's husband, who iormorly worked for Mr. Wilson, as a most worthless fellow, and speaking in the highest terms of the wife. THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was rather scantily supplied with Eng lish wheat, both old and new, and the general quality of the sample: was rather inferior. Prime wheats were disposed of at Monday's currency : but other kinds met a dull in quiry on former terms. The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive. The demand ruled very inactive, nevertheless importers were firm, and prices were supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request. The barley trade was firm at fully Monday's currency. The transactions in malt were only moderate, yet fine parcels were hold at very full currencies. We had a steady consumptive demand for oats at extreme quotations. Both beans and peas wore a dull inquiry, at barely late rates ; but the flour trade was tolerably firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.
