Mr. Orridge, for the prisoner, said that the prisoner had hitherto borne a most excellent character, and that when he entered the prosecutor's service he was in difficulties, and had taken the money, at the same time hoping that he would be able to replace it.

To THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WE JTMLNSTER. GENTLEMEN, THE papers of thi s morn i ng, w hi c h contain my Adress cf tsterda's , inform me that the Coaltion,d so boastfu y lly unnu y ntseed date by the Committee of M r . Mill, and so tremblingly avowed by the Committee of Capt. Grosvenor, has at length takei Why has this Coalit on been formed between men whose principles differ so widely? Is Capt. Grosvenor prepared to vote for Universal Suffrage With Mr. Mill, or will Mr. Mill, again, change his opinion and vote for the Ballot with Capt. Grosvenor? The real cause of the Coslition is the inherent weakness of both the candidates, which has prompted an alliance so unna - oral and ill-advised. If I know anything of the public spirit and independent feeling of the electors of Westminster, this tardy manoeuvre will find no favour in their eyes, but will secure me the support of all independent men, and will not cause me the loss of a single promised vote. Believe me, Gentlemen, Very faithfully yours.

GEN"I'LEME N, _ i beg to offer myself as a Candidate for thehonour ..11_ of representing , : you in Parliament. I am acquainted by personal observation and b us i ness Pursuits with the wants and interests of your locality. These wants and i nterests—imperilled by the policy of the Government —shall receive my chief and assiduous attention. In giving this pledge I feel th a t no portion of the country deserves or needs amore watchful and industrious repre sentative than yours. 4 , MY political principles are those of a Liberal Conserva ve. I am in favour of progress, as well as in the social developm ent of the country as in its more material and commercial interests. To all rash and rapid changes lam °1:111°8€*1 shall strengthen I am prepared to support any measure which our Constitution by securing a fair share _ip the representation of the count r y to the thrift and intel ligence of the working classes. I hold it to be of the utmost importance that the national defen ces, and oreespecially the navy, should be ret a i ne d in the highest m state e of ey. We sh ou l d not forget that the British Navy was once supreme, and that its decadence from that position would lower us in the estimation of other nations. Nor is this a mere matter of sentiment. The supremacy of the British Navy must b e ma i ntained, at any cost, as necessary to the safety of o ur world-wide commerce and to the stability of the Bri tigh Empire. O ur d ockyards are an essential element ef t hisgeneral policy, and I should strenuously oppose the npatriotic spirit of false economy that dictated the aban donment of Pembroke Dockyard, as suggested by the Par liamentary Committee nominated by the Government hi 1861. But not merely should we be content with an unrivalled fleet —it is essential that the other branch of the service should be thoroughly effective. England possesses a Vol unteer Force unparalleled in Europe. In that branch also of our defences we must maintain our supremacy. 1.1 1.0 Insulated believe as we are by our position fro m th e rest of 1)0 7 I the wisest policy to be one of non-inter vention where the interests of this country are not mate rially involved. It is below the dignity of England to m eddle in matters which do not immediately concern us, of to threaten when we do not intend to strike. xious to m a i n t a i n the Established Church, I shall act upon the sound policy that her best bulwark Is a just and Renerona recamition of the rights and privileges of other tlertorninationZ rat4enzio other country has trade advanced with such rapid Havenas in England.

Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Monier : " with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. Tho reeler of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch , " of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred la's readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants. with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them. needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl t above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" 'Office, 20, King, William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the run they work, even to the causation of suicide, arc tinily set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark espec'alty that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publishe 1. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by conulting which every young man may know where be may go if' he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and almse you, whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom yeti must be acquainted, it your aoquaint ance is large.

IRON SHlPS.—Parties interested in keeping the bottoms of Iron ships clean for a VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD are earnestly invited to inspect the bottom of the Iron Ship "CHILI," lately returned from New Zealand. She will go into Ewing and Wimshurst's Dry Dock, Rateliff, on MONDAY next, 10th July, and will be dry from Nine to One o'clock. This iron ship has been afloat for THIRTEEN MONTHS and SEVEN i_PAYS, without any renewal of that Composition on her bottom ; neither has the bottom been scrubbed, scraped, or hogged during this lengthened period, nor has the vessel been in fresh water since leaving the Thames last summer. She received her larit cost of PEA COCK and BUCHAN'S IMPROVED GENUINE COM POSITION on the 2d June, 1861, in Mr. Lungley's Dry Dock. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-July 7. The July sessions for criminal business wore continued ~o-day at Clerkenwell, before Mr. W. H. Bodkin, Assistant- Judge ; Mr. J. Payne, Deputy Assistant-Judge, Mr. Kepp, Mr. H. H. Harwood, Mr. Rankine, Mr. Twentyman, M r . Goodhart, Mr. France, Mr. Booking, Mr. Charles White, and the Baron de Bliss, justices. The Assistant-Judge was occupied for several hours in trying a prosecution for keeping a disorderly house, in which the parties charged were a licensed victualler, with 13 years' good character, and his barmaid. The evidence failed to show any receipt of money for the mere use of rooms, or any female lodgers in the house, or any disturbances by persons of either sex. The affirmative issue was supported by two witnesses who deposed to witnessing conduct on the part of visitors which other witnesses proved it was physically impossible for them to see. Tho jury, after intimating that their minds were made up to acquit before the summing up, listened attentively to the learned Judge, and then retired, as they were not unani mous, but in a short time found a verdict of not guilty. Public attention has been recently called to the fact that parishes, if once set in motion by formal complaint, must pay £2O, under an old act of Parliament to the complain ants, and that the persons accused may be taken on a war rant and held to bail to answer the charge without any notice, and without knowing the name of a single witness who will be called or the circumstances which will have to be explained. One woman thus accused had mot with an accident from the kick of a horse, and was compelled to un dergo a painful operation for the removal of a dead bone. The warrant issued, and a constable remained inher house to prevent her absconding, as she was too ill to attend and give bail, and it was stated that his very close supervision of the sick person was only relaxed upon the suggestion of one of the metropolitan magistrates. In this case, the Assistant-Judge very properly allowed the accused, on pleading guilty, to enter into sureties to come up for judgment if called upon. A number of persons tried on similar indictments at the last sessions, and imprisoned since that date, were also liberated ; but several have to surrender for judgment at the next sessions, on the 17th inst. The Assistant Judge, since public attention has been directed to the subject, has intimated his opinion that in future notice should be given to the persons to be accused before a prosecution is instituted, and that the names of the witnesses as well as a copy of the indictment should be supplied to the defendants. The right to a preliminary inquiry before a committing magistrate cannot, it appears, be conceded in ,the present state of the law. But magis trates at the police courts might, and it is believed will in future, require a prima facie case to be disclosed upon de positions, as in cases of far less importance, such as charges for obtaining goods by false pretences or stealing articles of trifling value. Mr. Metcalfe, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Ribton, Mr. Poland, Mr. Besley, Mr. F. H. Lewis, Mr. Collins, Mr. Montagu Williams, Mr. Starling, and Mr. W. R. Harris were the counsel engaged. (Before Mr. Payne.) George Spencer, a salesman in the service of Charles Powers, miller, of Biggleswade, pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzling several sums of money—viz., £l4 10s., £l5, and £l4 10s. There were other indictments, but it was considered unnecessary to proceed with them. Mr. Poland, for the prosecution, stated that it was the duty of the prisoner to take orders in or about London, to receive the money for the goods when delivered, and to pay the amounts into Messrs. Barnett's bank in the city, and then to send an account to his master of the money so re ceived. The prisoner, it appeared, Ikadreceived the money, but had not accounted for it in any way. When he was taken into custody he stated that he was endeavouring to make arrangements with his brother to pay the money. On Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—lnever saw the defendant in the room. Mr. Sleigh contended that there was not a tittle of evi dence as to the defendant being cognisant of whatevermight have been carried on on his first floor. He did not live in the house. He had certainly let the room to the defendant; but, as the agreement would show, it was let as a loan office. Mr. Alderman Phillips said—l confess that I have not tho smallest doubt in my mind that the room was let for an illegal purpose, and that the defendant knew that there was betting going on. I shall fine you £lO, and you must pay the costs. Mr. Poland asked that the other summonses against the defendant might bo adjourned sine die, in order that if the practices complained of were continued they might then be proceeded with. Mr. Sleigh asked for the summons against Miller to be adjourned, and his recognisances taken that he should dis continue the practice, which he was very willing to enter into. Mr. Alderman Phillips —I cannot think of fining Smyth £lO, when he was only guilty of letting the room, and ad journing Miller's summons, when in fact ho was the tenant, and carried on the business of which complaint is made. Mr. Miller then, acting under the advice of his counsel, pleaded guilty. Mr. Alderman Phillips fined him £2O with costs. Mr. Edmund Appleyard, of 88, Farringdon-street, then appeared to a summons similar to that of Mr. Smyth. He pleaded not guilty, and in consequenceof a mistake as to a date the summons was adjourned. Mr. Robert Leo pleaded guilty to keeping a betting office in Mr. Appleyard's house, and his sentence was de ferred until Mr. Appleyard's summons was decided. Mr. Frederick Potter then appeared to his summons for allowing betting to take place in his house. Evidence was given by two officers that they had entered the defendant's house, the Pewter Platter, in Gracechurch street, and been witness to batting on each occasion in the public rooms. There were men seated at the tables who took and booked money as bets. Mr. Alderman Phillips, after a patient hearing, fined the defendant £2O and costs. Mr. Beard, for the defendant, gave notice of appeal. Mr. Philip Powter, of 87, Farringdon-street, also pleaded " Guilty" to keeping a room as a betting-office, and was fined £2O and costs. The other cases wore then adjourned. CLERKENWELL.—JamesIanus, police-constable, 86 S division, stationed at the Kentish-town Police-station, was charged before Mr. Barker, with unlawfully assaulting and beating Mrs. Harriet Elmore, of 5, Rondolph-street, Camden-town, on the 23d ult. Mr. L. Lewis prosecuted ; Mr. Wontner defended ; and Mr. Henry Allen, prosecuting officer of the Associated Institution for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, watched the case. Mr. Lewis, in opening the case, said that as he under stood there was to be a conflict of evidence ho should ask the magistrate to send the case for trial. The complainant said—On the day in question, at about half-past 3in the morning, I was in the St. Paul's-road with my mother, returning home from attending a sick cousin, who has since died. As I passed the defendant he said " Good morning," and my mother answered him. He followed and took hold of my mother, and afterwards he took hold of me by the arm rather roughly. My mother told him to take his hands off, and he said, "I am not the first man who has laid hands on you to-night, and you are no better than you ought to be." I had a sharp struggle to get away from him, and my arm was bruised and my dress torn. I had not spoken to the defendant nor to any man on our way home. Cross-examined —l might have stated that the defendant had been drinking. I saw the defendant at the police station on the Saturday following, but I did not then say that be had been drinking. We both said that if the defendant would apologise we would forgive him, but he said, "There is none needed." We will not now accept his apology, as he has said that he had seen me out with some drunken men. Mrs. Elmore said the complainant is her daughter, and on the day in question the defendant took hold of her arm and trode on her foot. While she was doing up her boot the defendant insulted her daughter by taking hold of her by the right arm. She resisted very much, and in the struggle her dress was torn. The defendant insulted my daughter, and said that he was not the first man that had put his hands on her shoulders that night. She did not say that the defendant was drunk, though she thought he had been drinking. Mr. Wontner said that no one regretted more than his client that he should have mistaken the young lady for some one else he had seen that night, but he wished n ow t o withdraw all imputation on her character and make an ample apology for what he had said under mistake. Inspectors Stratford and Millard gave the defendant a good character, and said that he was perfectly sober. Mr. Barker said he considered the defendant had behaved very ill in the matter, and fined him 40s. and the costs, with the alternative of 21 days' hard labour in the House of Correction. THE GREAT WESTERN FACTORIES AND OXFORD. —lt was generally anticipated that the Great Western Railway Board would have come to a decision as to the removal of their works to Oxford at their meeting on Thursday last, but it appears there was so much business to be done that the subject was Postponed for a week. As the Board, however, had satisfied themselves that the works and dwellings for the artisans will be in a healthy and suitable locality, there appears to be no doubt that they will adhere to their original arrangement to move the works to Oxford, in spite of the vexatious opposition offered by certain members of the University.

Foster, super intendent of the City Police, for that. on the 2d of June last, being then the occupier of such house, he did unlawfully permit a room in his base to be used for the purposes of betting on certain horse races, whereby he had incurred a penalty not exceeding £lOO. There were four summonses against Smyth, four against John Miller for unlawfully using a , room in Smyth's house for the purposes of betting, six against Fred. Potter, the landlord of the Pewter Plate in Gracechurch-street, for knowingly allowing betting in his house, six against Wm. Shee (alias Biddle), others against men named Madden, Calder, Philip, and Powter; for against R. Lee, one against E. Appleyard, and eight against Wm. Box. Mr. Poland prosecuted; Mr. Sleigh defended Smyth and Miller ; Mr. M. Williams was counsel for Powter ; Mr. Lewis, jun., for Lee and Appleyard; and Mr. T. Beard for Madden, Potter, and Shea. William Berridge said—l am a polie,e-constable. I went to the defendant's house in company with another con stable, on Wednesday, May 29. Smyth's nephew, Alfred Greystone, carries on the refreshment business, and Smyth lives in the country. I went into a room on the first floor. There is a ground glass window about half the size of the door, on which is written J. Miller and Co. I went in and saw several men them, and in a kind of office adjoining the room there were two bookmakers. The room is fitted up as an office. The bookmakers were seated at a little window, where they received and booked the money. The door was wide open. There was a notice up that not less than 10s. would be received. I saw several bets made in the room on that occasion. I went into the house again on Thursday, June l u about 1 o'clock, and again saw the two bookmakers, and several betting lists, and cards containing the odds against the different racehorses. I saw one man bet 10s. on Breeze for the Grand Stand Stakes. It was paid over to the bookmaker and entered in his book. I went again on Friday, June 2, about half-past 12. There were about 10 or 12 men in the room. I saw one man stake 10s. on Reindeer. I went twice after that, and saw the de fendant one day behind the bar. Miller's name is not on the doorpost outside the house, but only on the glass door of the office. Yesterday an inquest was held by Dr. Lankester at the British Stores, New-street, Portland-town, on the body of Marie Bullot, 22, a young French lady lately residing at 28, Portland-terrace, St. John's-wood. -Priscilla Oliver said she lived at 28, Portland-terrace, and was in the habit of letting apartments. A few weeks since a gentleman came and hired some apartments, and said they were for a young lady from Paris. She was not with him then. Witness asked the gentleman for his card. He said he had not got one just then, but she should have one. She never did get the card, and never knew what his name was. She believed he was an Englishman. He could talk English well. On Friday, the 23d of June, he came again at 6 o'clock in the evening, and brought a young lady—the deceased—with him. The young lady was visited by the gentleman every day, and he generally took her for a walk. He never stayed with her during the night. On the following Wednesday the lady was taken ill, and rang the bell violently. The servant went upstairs, and deceased told her to go to two doctors whom she named. She was to go to a -doctor near Grosvenor-square first, and if he were out she gave the addreas of another doctor who lived near Cavendish-square. The doctor who attended is here. The witness also went to her and asked her what was the matter. She said it was nothing, and 4he would soon be better. She could speak very little English. She wanted an extra sheet upon her bed. The gentleman had been to see her on the previous day between 11 and 12 o'clock. She believed the lady and gentleman did not go out that day, but he stayed with her till about 6 o'clock in the evening. The servant came back from her message and brought the gentleman now present with her, who att en d e d to the lady .Frf while she wee The doctor tame also the following day, but not on the next day, Friday. Witness sent for him on the Saturday, and he came.• The doctor told her that the deceased had been delivered of a four months' child, and that he had put it in the cupboard in the bedroom. Witness looked into the cupboard, but never saw it. Did not know what became of it. The young lady died that Saturday evening. The gentleman was with the young lady till shortly before her death. The gentleman gave deceased her medicine. After having been with her some time on Saturday, thegentleman told witness he was very tired, and that he would be away for an hour for refreshment. He was away longer than he said he should be, and the young lady died. When he came back witness told him of the lady's death, and he fell down in a fit. She obtained assis tance and had him carried to the drawing-room. When he ca me to he went with witness to the bedroom. He cried very much during the evening. He left about 10 o'clock. He came again on Sunday and asked witness to go to an undertaker and arrange about the funeral, which witness did. The gentleman came again on Monday, and he saw the undertaker. He gave him £6 to bury the lady in Kensal-green Cemetery, and said he would not have her buried in a common grave. He fixed the funeral for Wed nesday morning at 11 o'clock. He said he should attend the funeral if he could, or, if not, he should be at the ceme tery. On Tuesday he called again and witness told him there would be an inquest. He seemed very much lady and word e sur prised, and said, "Dear me, what a shocking thi ng that will be !" Witness again asked him for his address, b ut he would not give it, neither would he leave his ca r d. H e merely told witness on He Frenchdidnot say a had as been in to London whether she was his wife or not, or whether she was el ce before.she wa H s married. Witness had not seen him since.. Dr. George Harley, M.D., F.R.S., said he was a Pro fessor in University College, London, and that he had made a post mortem examination. Externally there was an ap pearance that deceased was a well-nourished person. There were no marks of violence, but an extreme pallor was ob servable. The brain was healthy, but bloodless ; the lungs and heart also were healthy. There was a small modicum of fluid on the right side of the heart, but the left side was empty. The abdominal organs, stomach, and kidneys were also healthy. There was no sign of disease observable. The uterus was considerably enlarged. He found its organisa tion in a remarkably healthy state. Ho found no appear ance of poison. The medicines were roughly examined by him, but there was nothing deleterious in them. In his opinion tho cause of death was hemorrhage of intestines caused by abortion, but ho was not able to say whether that abortion was brought about by natural or by artificia' means. The Coroner, observing a well known solicitor present, asked him whether he wished to examine any of the wit nesses, as he presumed ho was representing somo one at the inquest. The gentleman referred to said he had no questions to ask, as he was merely there to watch the pro- ceedings. Dr. Colomiati Meredith said he lived in Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, and was a doctor of medicine of Paris, and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, England. Was sent for to see the deceased on the 27th of June last. He never saw or heard of her before. She told him that when she came over in the vessel to England a week or ten days previously she fell down and became very wet. That was all he heard of her case. When he came to her on the Wednesday he found the child, or foetus rather, born, which he removed, and tied the cord. There was scarcely any bleeding. There had been a slight bleeding before he came in, but nothing alarming. The foetus was in a state of putrefaction, and it must have been dead for some time, but he could not say how long. He should be inclined to believe its death was owing to the fall on board the vessel. He saw her again next morning about nine o'clock, and everything was favourable. He did not see her on the next day to that, Friday ; but on Saturday he was sent for. He came to her about a quarter to four o'clock, and found a great contraction of the womb and great flowing of blood. It was not, however, alarming, He left her for half an hour, and onhis return ho found her so weak that he sent for another medical men. He ordered brandy to be given her, which was done. She died in their presence about half-past Bin the evening. Dr. Harley said the evidence given by Dr. Meredith would fully account for the symptoms observed by him. In answer to the Coroner, Mr. Meredith said most dis tinctly that he did not think deceased had been tampered with, and that her fall on board the vessel would account for the abortion, and that the decomposition of the child would be caused by the mother falling into the water. The Coroner observed that the suspicious nature of the case was, that the gentleman referred to was not present. Ho must say that the medical evidence did not inculpate him, and it would be a question for the jury whether it would be of any advantage to adjourn the case to see if the gentleman could be found, or whether the jury, acting on the medical evidence, would at once agree to a verdict. A juror to Dr. Meredith—Have you over seen this gen tleman ? Dr. Meredith—Certainly I have. The juror—To whom do you look for payment for your service ? Dr. Meredith—l cannot say. Unfortunately, medics; men are often called to attend cases for which they do not get paid. The Coroner said there were two letters addressed to the deceased, which he thought it was his duty to have read, and he should feel obliged if Dr. Meredith would translate them. The first letter was from a working man in France, upbraiding deceased for having left France in his debt, and charging her with having taken certain ar ticles, which he enumerated, The second letter was ad dressed from Chatillon Sur Indre, and was dated the 26th of June, 1865. The writer termed deceased "Me chore Marie," expressed her regret that she had not seen "Marie" for two years, and concluded by styling herself her affec tionate mother, widow Bullot. It also appeared that de ceased had been recently in Brazil. In answer to a juror, the landlady of the house in Port land-terrace said that on the Saturday evening when the young lady died she forced her way into the ;bedroom to see her. That was after she understood she had been con fined. Deceased was in bed and looked very feeble. Wit ness gave her some brandy to drink, but the gentleman re ferred to told her not to give any more, as it would do no good. Witness said it would not possibly do any harm, and again gave her a drink. The young lady appeared very grateful, and took hold of witness's hand, looked full into her face, and said, " Dear, dear Madame." Her hand and forehead were as cold as death. She died shortly after. Susan Lydford, servant to the last witness, gave confir matory evidence. ' In reply to the Coroner, The Foreman said they were not at all satisfied with the evidence, and that they unanimously wished the inquiry adjourned, which was accordingly .done until Saturday next.

Such offences are apt to fill society with vague fear an d suspicion. Poisoning is the foulest kind of murder; when the victims are help less women, members of the m ur d erer ' s own family, the deed is especially infamo us ; an d when, more more over, he who . commits it is a medical man who pre tends to relieve those wh om h e is destroying, there wants no circumstance of treachery and wickedness. Yet the facts of this case sho w h ow easy it is for a man conversant with drugs to make away with per sons in his own household who have confidence in him, and for whom his professional calling justifies his prescribing. People naturally come to the con clusion that there is no crime more likely to go un detected than that in which relatives or nurses find it to their ad van t age t o h e l p their patients out of the world. The facility of the deed, the improba bility of discovery, and the difficulty of proof e ven when suspicion is arouse d, ma k e domestic poisoning the most fearful of offences. It is, therefore, the duty of society to spare no pains in investigating each case that may be presented, and to punish un sparingly whenever the crime has been brought home. Of Dr. Pritchard's guilt we conceive there can be no doubt. Never was murder by poison proved by clearer evidence. Even his counsel was unable to deny the fact that his wife and her mother had died by foul means, and the only course open to them was to charge the deed on the- young girl who was in the prisoner's service. Xat this sup-„ position was so improbable that the jury unani mously rejected it, and their verdict of guilty will be fully assented to by all who read the trial. In the first place, it is proved indisputably that both the women died by poison. This is no case of doubtful medical opinions combated by medical opinions equally worthy of credit. It is not some in finitesimally small quantity of poison that is found; it is not the mere "appearance" of the intestines that is relied on, or some colour-test, which may pos sibly be fallacious. It is not the diagnosis of the malady which makes the case for the prosecution ; nor is the prisoner condemned merely on the opinion of this or that doctor that the symptoms described by the servants betoken in his judgment the action of poison. A far firmer ground of conviction is obtained by the discovery of the poison itself in large quantities in the bodies of the victims. The medical witnesses who made the post mortem exami nation report, first, that there was no natural cause of death discernible, and, next, there was present in the body quite sufficient poison to cause death. In the case of Mrs. Pritchard antimony was found in the stomach, liver, and other portions of the frame. The conclusions were that she had taken a large quantity of this substance in the form of tartar emetic, and that, having regard to the absence of morbid appearances sufficient to account for death, and the presence of a large quantity of a substance known to be capable of destroying life, her death must be ascribed to the action of antimony. It was also clear, from the extent to which all the organs and fluids of the body h a d b een i mpregnated with it that it must have been taken in repeated doses, the aggregate of which must have amounted to a large quantity. Another report, that of Professor Penny, state s th a t a ll the parts of the body con tained antimony, that the contents of the intestines, the spleen, the heart, the blood, and the kidneys contained mercury ; that th e presence of antimony and mercury i n the contents of the intestines indi cates that these metals were passed from the d ecease d up to the time of death. There can, consequently, not be the shadow of a doubt that Mrs. Pritchard died from the effects of poison administered in comparatively small doses over a considerable period of time. The evidence in the case of Mrs. Taylor is similar. There are two reports by different medical men. These concur in stating that anti mony and mercury were found in the body, and the conclusion is that Mrs. Taylor, like Mrs. Pritchard, died from slow poisoning. Since, then, it is esta blished that these two persons' were poisoned, the question simply is, who did it ? Suicide is, of course, out of the question, and the victims must, there fore, have perished through the crime of some one who lived with them in the house. Now, of the two cooks who gave evidence one had been there during the former part of the illness of Mrs. Pritchard, and the other during the latter part. It, consequently, could be neither of these. The matter, in short, lies between Dr. Pritchard and Mary M'Leod, the house maid, a young girl in her seventeenth year, with whom the Doctor had formed an improper connexion, and whom his counsel, in a defence on which we need not comment, sought to fix with the guilt of the murder. However desperate may have been Dr. Pritchard's case, we are surprised that his counsel should have been instructed to take this line. The notion that a young and ignorant girl should poison two women by slow degrees, and with a skill which kept one at least of them alive for weeks, so as t o give the appearance of a natural death, is one which cannot be accepted by any person of sense. If even it be granted that th e g i r l h a d some motive fcr the crime, inasmuch as she may have believed that Dr. Pritchard would marry her when his wife died, it is impossible to believe that she would of her own de vice carried out such a scheme of artistic murder. Mrs. Pritchard's illness was such as might have been imagined by the author of some horrible romance. She was ill for a day or two together, then came a respite, then again the symptoms returned. We know by the medical evidence that these symptoms were caused by the administration in small doses of very powerful poisons, by which an unskilful hand would soon have made an end of its victim. It is reasonable to conclude, then, that the girl was not the poisoner, and, if it be so, there is no one but Dr. Pritchard who could have committed the crime. The suspicions of his unhappy wife appear to have been aroused some time before her death, but she had not energy to resist the man who was destroy ing her. It is difficult to understand how the un happy lady could have failed to connect her ill-health with the presence of her husband. Whenever he was away for a few days she was better, but as soon its he returned the sickness recommenced. She was ill continually afterwards, and the articles of food which were prepared exp r e ss ly f or h er were those which usually brought on the unfavourable symptoms. The evidence of the three servants makes it suffi ciently clear that the prisoner, having probably studied the details of former cases o f poisoning, conceived the idea of destroying his wife so gradu ally and naturally that even the neighbouring doctors whom he called in should be unable to detect anything wrong. He seems, however, for some reasons of his own, or perhaps through negli gence, to have made more hasty work with Mrs. Taylor. That poor woman had, indeed, " got the same complaint as her daughter," but, more fortu nate, she was killed outright, instead of being made to linger in misery for weeks to come. Dr. Prit chard, relying, no doubt, on his own skill, was not afraid to have medical assistance, as indeed no murderer needs be if he calls in a gentleman so strict an upholder of professional etiquette as Dr. James Paterson. This practitioner stated, in cross-exami nation, that it was his impression on seeing Mrs. Pritchard that she was poisoned with antimony. But he did not go back to see her, " because she was not his patient." He had nothing to do with her. It was not his duty to do so. She had her husband, who was a medical man ; and in the case of a con sultation the consultant has no right to go back. However, in spite of such perverted scrupulosity, Dr. Paterson happily did not think it unprofessional to speak the truth at the trial, and his evidedce was to the effect that both 'then and now he believed that Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Pritchard died of poison. His description of these two unfortunates is one of the most harrowing that were given in a court of justice. All this evidence pointed one way, and that was towards Dr. Pritchard. He a l one had anin terest in the death of the two women ; he alone could have poisoned them as they were poisoned ; he told lies about their illness, and made false re ports to the registrar. By his conviction a great act of public justice is accomplished, for it is long since there has been so cruel and treacherous a mur derer Victoria Cross• (Front the London Gazette of July 7.) WAR-OFFICE, July 7. The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officer of her Majesty's Indian forces, whose claim to the same has been submitted to her Majesty's approval, for his gallant conduct during the operations at Umbeyla, on the north-western frontier of India, as recorded against his name, viz. : Lieut. (now Capt.) George Vincent Fosbery late 4th Bengal European Regiment, for the daring and gallant manner in which, on the 30th October, 1863, acting as a volunteer at the time, he led a party of his regiment to re capture the Crag Picket, after its garrison had been driven in by the enemy, on which occasion GO of them were killed in desperate hand-to-hand fighting. From the nature of the approach to the top of the crag auiong the large rocks ono or two men only could advance at one time ; and "while I ascended one path," relates Lieut.-Col. Keyes, C. 8., commanding the Ist Punjab Infantry, "I directed Lieut. Fosbery, of the late 4th European Regiment, to push up another at the head of a few men. He led this party with the greatest coolness and intrepidity, and was the first man to gain the top of the crag on his side of the attack." Subsequently, Lieut.-Col. Keyes being woundod, Lieut. Fosbery assembled a party with which he pursued the routed enemy in the direction of the Lallooßidge,infiicting on them further loss and confirming possession of the post. POST.—That the American Union as it was can hardly be restored, notwithstanding the military subjugation of the South, is a proposition from I which few who understand the teachings of history will be found to dissent. But though it may be found a comparatively easy task to determine nega tively what form of government will not exist in the American republic, it may be exceedingly difficult to define the new political system which will take the place of the old. _Still there are various con siderations which may serve to guide us in forming an approximative estimate of what is likely to take place. For instance, we may be tolerably sure that the leading statesmen on the victorious side will endeavour to take measures for precluding in the future such a secession on the part of a portion of the States of the Union as that which has just ended in failure. It appears to be thou g ht th at t h e most ROYAL ISTITTJTION.—Mr. Thomas Henry Hux. obvious means for securing this end would consist in ley, F.R.S., the Professor of Comparative Anatomy and doing away with the doctrine of States' rightsand Physiology to the Royal College of Surgeons, has just been appointed Fullerian Professor of Physiology to the Royal the principle of confederation.

The way to t ? prevela - Z i i UT.zz&,l9 the future then, is, upon this assumptiktg ems:r • - . the Constitution, and establish a consolidhed ' • - ry public, one and indivisible. Such a political system would, of course, be quite unlike the Union as it was, so that the South will at least have succeeded in abolishing the old Union, and the North, which went to war to restore it, will have to confess that the task which it undertook to accomplish was an enterprise beyond its strength. Under these cir cumstances it becomes a very interesting problem whether any particular form of Government or poli tical system could have prevented the secession we witnessed four years ago, or would have the effect of obviating alike revolution in the future. Revo lutions have their origin in the feelings and interests of large bodies of people. The population of the South desired to be an independent nation, because it believed that this was essential for the protection of its best interests. There was in the opinion of the Southern people no alternative between self-govern ment, to be obtained by secession, and a defensive war, if need be, and government against their will by the Northerners. The antagonistic interests of the North and South were in part moral and politi cal, and in part material ; but even the former were in fact the result of the latter. The antagonism which existed between North and South, including ithe element of slavery, had its sources in the geo graphical position of the two sections, and is as little susceptible of being removed by artificial means as the climate of the country itself. If, then, the United States had been a consolidated Republic, one and indivisible, these antagonistic interests would have been just as powerful and just as sharply defined as they have actually proved themselves to be. The two sections of American society, the Northern and the Southern, would have been under any possible form of govern ment just what they have been and are. The same struggle for power would have gone on between them. Each party would have striven to get one of its own statesmen elected as President, and to go vern the country through his agency. In all coun tries and under all forms of government where the representative - principle is admitted at all, there are two parties, each of whom aspires to govern the country through the agency of the Prime Minister, if it is a Monarchy ; of the President, if it is a Re public. And if revolutions and secessions do not take place, it is because society is more homoge neous, and because there is not a strong antagonism of material interests, the result of physical geo graphy. Revolutions are'by no means a novelty in the history of the world. The British colonies showed themselves quite as ready to revolt against us in the last age as the South has done to separate itself from the North in the present, and from mo tives which were insignificant in comparison. Yet the colonists were the subjects of a great Power which, it was supposed at the commencement of the struggle, would put them down in a few months. The fact of a Republic taking the consolidated form, as one and i n di v i s ibl e, instea of the form of a con federacy of States, does not in the least alter the fundamental principle upon which it is based. What that principle is we learn from the Declaration of Independence, drawn up and promulgated by the colonists when they threw off their allegiance to Great Britain, and when it was as yet uncertain what form of Republic they would adopt, or even whether they would establish a Republic at all, and not a Monarchy. The principle in question is that men ought not to be governed against their will ; that all government rests on the consent of the go verned. lithe Americans had established aMonarchy their Southern descendants at the present day would not have been likely to pay more respect to it than they did to the British Government of which they were the lawful subjects. On the contrary, having broken up one Monarchy, so far as they were con cerned, to establish another, based upon the principle of consent, they would have been able to urge this very principle as the justification for secession. If, then, the North were to abolish the old Con stitution entirely, and establish a consolidated Re public, one and indivisible, on its ruins, or even if they were to establish a military despotism under a dictator called a President, it is difficult to see in what way this would preclude the possibility of future secessions when any large number of the States believed it was their interest to separate, and also that they were strong enough to give effect to their will. It is under the most tyrannical and con centrated Governments that revolutions have been the most plentiful. If the Southern States had not believed themselves strong enough to achieve their independence they would not have seceded when they did. And any other portion of the American population which might in the future believe it was its interest to secede, and that it was strong enough to win its independence, would do as the South has done, whether the Union remain a Federation, or be formally changed into a consolidated Republic, one and indivisible. The events of the past four years of war have shown that the Federal Govern ment has wielded a power as great and as absolute as that possessed by the military despotisms of the Old World, and what greater power over the liberty of the citizen could be possessed or exercised by the government of a consolidated Republic, or a Dictatorship, or any other, there would be a large standing army at its command. But so there would be at the command of the old Government, under its old form, if it chose to keep such an army on foot. And if that army consisted in part of Southerners, such part could not be relied on in case of the South attempting to secede again. If to avoid this the North were to take care to exclude all Southerners from the army, the case would not be much altered, for they could do this as well under the present form of government as under any other ; and it would, besides, be no safeguard against the future secession of any other States than those of the South. We find such of the Southerners as were in the United States army seceding from it, as their States seceded from the Union ; and what the Southerners did yesterday the inhabitants of other States would do to-morrow. The feeling which for genera tions has attached the American to the State of which he is a native is not likely to be eradicated by a mere change of names, a mere alteration on paper of the form of the Government from a Federal to a consolidated Republic, or even to a military Dicta torship. That the South may be too much broken and exhausted to attempt a revolution for a long period of time is obvious"; but should it ever be re stored to prosperity, should it ever become relatively as strong as it has been, and should it believe it to be its interest to secede, we may be assured that if it abstain from seceding it will be through the re collection of the past war, and not through any change in the paper constitution of the United States or in the name which maybe given to its form of government, or in the title of its chief magistrate. The fact is, that the American Union covers too vast an extent of territory for a single country, and the more populous it becomes the greater will be the difficulty of keeping it together. It is possible that, with the experience of the past, the South, even if stronger relatively to the North than before, would not at a future time think it expedient to renew the attemp which has ended in failure. But, on the other hand, if the South were to secede, would not experience equally warn'the North against going to war to oppose it ? The South has lost its cause, but what has the North gai ne d ? O r, assum i ng that may have gained something, is that something worth the war, and the evils which the war has left behind it? The South has lost its cause, but what has the North gained ? Or, assuming that may have gained some thing, is that something worth the war, and the evils which the war has left behind it? Nature has made the North and South—North and South separate they might make two great and prosperous empires, unnaturally united they are an ill-assorted pair that never can be one. The closer the union between them the more strongly will their antipathies and their antagonistic interests come into conflict and colli sion. What nature has separated let not man seek to weld together. T II *E 0 X F O R D, 6, OXFORD STREET, W. The Oxford and Canterbury Mill Company (limited). 66, COMIC OPERETTA, by J.
