Bd. The Holborn and Ramsgate Murders• ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) The Coroner's inquiry into the circumstances connected with the deaths of William, Henry, and Alexander White, whose bodies were found dead in the Star Coffee-house, Red Lion-street, Holborn, was hold this day: Mr. Smith, from the firm of Messrs. Gold and Son, attended to watch the case on the part of Stephen For wood, otherwise Ernest Southey, who now stands com mitted to Maidstone Gaol for trial, on the charge of wilful murder of Mrs. Forwood and her daughter, at Ramsgate, on the 10th inst. Dr. Anthony Roberts, of Lambs' Conduit-street, was the first witness examined. It will be recollected that a por tion of this witness's evidence was taken on Friday last, and this morning he continued his evidence by a descrip tion of the superficial appearance of the bodies of the three children when he was called on the discovery of the murders. Fourteen hours after death he commenced his post mortem examination. The witness then gave a technical description of the appearance of the intestines of the deceased children. He sent portions of the tongue, ,brain, heart, &c., of each of the three children to Dr. Harley for analysis. Dr. Harley, of 77, Harley-street, physician at University College Hospital, and ono of the professors at the college, then read his report of analysis of the portions of the bodies of three children he had received from the last witness. It commenced by stating that, as it was said by Southey that be had used nicotine to produce the death of the children, that poison was sought for, but not discovered, but in all the experiments made unmistakable evidence of prussic acid was present in all three of the bodies, and no other poison. How the poison was administered it was impos sible to say, as there was no trace of the poison in the chalk mixture found in the bed-room of the eldest boy. With respect to the pungent odour prevailing in the bed-rooms, it arose from oil of copaiba having been intentionally or otherwise spilt in the room, perhaps with the intention of counteracting and destroying the smell of the essential oil of bitter almonds. He was of opinion that death arose from the mortal effects of a dose of prussic acid in each case, and the tests that had led him to that conclusion were those known as the iron test, and the sulphur, silver, and vapour tests. The witness then produced a number of test tubes, each containing a portion of the poisons taken from the bodies of the children. The Coroner asked if it could be ascertained how much poison was administered to each victim ? Dr. Harley said he could not say with certainty, but in the bodies of the two youngest children he found quite sufficient to destroy three persons. He should say about a dessert spoonful was administered to the two little boys, and a table-spoonful to the eldest. He thought there had been a second dose given to two, as he found a portion of the poison unswallowed in the throats of Henry and Alex. White. The Coroner—l don't know that we can go any further in this case. The prisoner is at present detained in custody at Ramsgate, and I don't think we shall have him before us until the proper authorities take steps to get him to London, which I believe is intended. The inquiry can now be closed or adjourned, whichever is thought desirable. Inspector Thompson here informed the Coroner• that a female named Petty, who had the youngest of Mrs. White's children with her (a little girl of about fivo years of age), might be able to say something. The witness was accordingly examined. Sarah Petty, of 2, Cornelia-terrace, Battersea, ihon said —Southey came to her house in July last. About three weeks ago she saw Mrs. White in the Edgware-road, when she told her (witness) that she was going to Australia on the 24th. When Mr. Southey came to her house, he said to witness that if Mrs. White did not tell her where she was to be found some harm would come. He wished to get possession of the little girl. Mrs. White told her not to say anything about her to Southey, as, for the sake of her children, she wished to lead a better life, as she had quite done with him (Southey). The child was left with me by Mrs. White in July last. A Juror—Did he ask you to deliver up the child ? Witness—No. He wished the child to go with him to buy some cakes. A Juror—She appeared afraid of him then ? Witness—Yes. The little girl was here placed before the jury, but she was deemed too young to give evidence. Inspector Thompson, of the detective force, said the last witness gave him a letter unopened, addressed to Mrs. White. He opened it and read it. It urged Mrs. White to return to the writer Southey, as if she did not, some thing more terrible than she ever imagined would happen. A Juror—We ought to have that letter. Witness—lt can be produced, but not now, as I have given all the papers to the Commissioners of Police. Superintendent Searle, of tho E division of police, said he had made inquiries at the chemists in the neighbour hood of Holborn, and at 1)09, kept by a Mr. Blaxall, he was informed that a man answering the description of Southey called on him on the Bth of August. He said he had a little boy who had been neglected, and that ho had returned home with diarrhwa. He led the chemist to believe that he was a medi cal man, and asked him to make him up a chalk mix ture. While this was being done, the man asked the wholesale price of Scheele's hydro-cyanic acid, but he did not get any of the poison from Mr. Blasell's shop. It is, however, supposed that Southey had had poison in his pos session for some time. The Coroner said that was all that was known at pre sent. It would now be for the jury to decide whether they would return an open verdict, or adjourn for a lengthened period to see if it was possible to have the accused present. They had heard the opinion of Dr. Harley, and there could not bo a doubt about the cause of death; but it was for the jury to decide the course to pursue. After a short discussion, the inquiry was adjourned for a fortnight. COLONIAL GO VERNMEN' British Columbia, 6 per eent.,Dee.31,1572.... ~Gan.Gov.6p.c.Ja.&July . 1877-b4 Do. 6 p. c.

The Cattle Plague. KENT: Several fresh cases of the murrain are reported to have occurred in the vicinity of Canterbury. The committee appointed at the meeting of East Kent farmers on Saturday have drawn up and forwarded to the Privy Council a memorial setting forth that all importation of cattle without due inspection being prohibited in the port of London, the county of Kent is in especial danger from the landing of diseased stock in the different ports throughout the coast, and that the existing state of the law does not give any power to stop the transit of diseased stock on the public roads, nor to any public market, whereby the disease is liable to be indefinitely spread, and praying that the same system of inspection be instituted at all ports on the Kentish seaboard ; that steps be immediately taken to stop as far as possible the progress of the disease, by prohibiting the landing or transit of any diseased cattle ; and that the committee be empowered, in co-operation with the Government inspection, to take any means they may consider desirable to stop the progress of the disease where already commenced. They have also appointed Messrs. Crowhurst, veterinary surgeons, of Canterbury, inspectors of stock for East Kent, but particularly the Canterbury district. Mr. Lord, veterinary surgeon to the Cavalry Depot, at the Canterbury Garrison, has suggested to the com mittee the propriety of establishing an hospital for diseased cattle, and, in the event of one being formed, is willing to render all the assistance in his power gratuitously. The committee are disposed to enter tain the suggestion if funds can be obtained. Mr. R. Furley, secretary to the Ashford Cattle-market, has written to say that Mr. Fordham, veterinary surgeon, has been appointed to examine the stock sent for sale to that market. The Attempted Murder at Chatham. Yesterday the prisoner John Currie, 36th company of Royal Engineers, who stands charged with hating shot Major Francis Horatio do Yore, with the intention of kill ing him, was brought up before the magistrates at the Chatham Police-court for examination. The magistrates on the bench were the Boy. J. J. Marsham, chairman, and Mr. Thomas H. Baker. The prisoner, as already described, is a very young man, his age, as given by himself, being 19. During his brief examination and while before the magistrates he appeared to treat the matter with the utmost indifference, and was, apparently, the only unconcerned spectator in the court. He is about sft. Bin. in height, and has a mild expression of countenance. Superintendent Ererist said he charged the prisoner with having, with malice aforethought, fired a loaded rifle at Major Francis Horatio de Vere, at Brompton barracks, on Friday afternoon last, with intent to kill and murder him. Mr. Furrell, clerk to the magistrates, after reading ovor the charge to the prisoner, asked him if he had anything to say why he should not be remanded. Prisoner—No, sir, I have nothing to say. Mr. Marsham—Then you are romanded until Wednes day next. The prisoner was then immediately removed, the whole proceedings occupying but two or three minutes. Currie continues to display the same dogged demeanour which ho has exhibited over since the occurrence, and his only regret, from his frequent remarks to that effect, would appear to be that he did not succeed in his in tention to take Major De Vere's life, the one topic on which he continues to dilate being that officer's alleged "tyranny" towards him. The prisoner has been ♦isited by his father, who occupies a respectable position in the neighbourhood of London, and in reply to his regrets to find him guilty of such a crime, he only answered that Major De Vero did not deserve to live. From inquiries made yesterday afternoon it was stated that Major Do Vero was a trifle better, and from the fact of his having lingered so long hopes aro entertained of his ultimate recovery.

A VETERAN.—On the 7th inst. an old man, named Alexander Aitken, died at No. 4, Chalmers'-build ings, Edinburgh, after having seen an amount of service and taken part in a series of important engagements such as seldom falls to the lot of even the longest-lived and most distinguished sodiers. Alexander Aitken enlisted in the 42d Highlanders ill 1793 (72 years ago), and served with his regiment in Flanders when the English conquered Hol land. He afterwards served under Sir Ralph Abercromby in and was present at Coru nna , F uentes d ' Onor Pyrenees, , Nivalle, Nivo, Orthes, Toul ouse , th e P eninsula, Egypt, and at Waterloo. He was also at the taking of the Island of Minorca, and at the time of his death was supposed to have been the only non-commissioned officer who was present when Abercromby was carried off the field of battle. WARWICKSHIRE. A meeting, convened by the high Sheriff of War wickshire (Mr. 11. T. Boultbee), on the requisition of the Earl of Warwick, Lord Leigh, and other landed proprietors, was held at the Judges' Lodg ings, Shire-hall, Warwick, yesterday, at 12 o'clock, for the purpose of taking immediate steps to pre vent the spread of the cattle plague. The High Sheriff presided. Lord LEIGII moved the first resolution, which was as follows :—" That this meeting considers it highly expedient to take most prompt and energetic steps to prevent the spread of the fatal epidemic through the stocks of this county." In the course of his remarks his lordship said that this question was of more importance at the present time than any other, both to producers of stock and consumers of meat. Fortunately, the disease had not yet come among them, but he had been informed on very good authority that it was in Leicestershire, and he had also heard from another quarter that it had reached Staffordshire, and he thought it was quite time to take measures which would be calculated to prevent its introduction into their own county. Mr. WISE, M.P., in seconding the above resolu tion, alluded to a somewhat similar outbreak among the cattle of this country which occurred 140 or 150 years ago. The mortality on that occasion was fearful, and yet, as they all knew, the facilities of communication between one part of the country and another were not to be compared with those exist ing in the present day. The railways and steam boats, &c., which they now had acted as a means of spreading the disease which had unhappily appeared, and it behoved them to take every precaution to arrest it. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. A. W. PEEL, M.P., moved that a committee be appointed for the purpose of carrying out the objects of this meeting. In doing so he remarked that he had just heard that the plague had made its appearance at West Bromwich. Ile commented sz verely on the disgraceful manner in which cattle were placed in steamboats and railway trucks, for the purpose of transfer. lle thought that disease was very often generated in consequence of the filthy state in which they were kept. Sir R. N. C. HAMILTON, K.C.8., in seconding this resolution, suggested that in all cases where cattle were sold certificates of health should be given, so that if the disease should break out it might be traced. After some discussion, the resolution was carried. Mr. DARWIN GALTON moved, and the Rev. 11. MILLS seconded,—" That the chief constable be directed to instruct the police-constables under him to inform him of any case which came under their notice, and that the chief constable should at once communicate such information to the Central Com mittee." Some objections having been raised, Mr. GALTON withdrew his motion. Mr. STANLEY, veterinary surgeon, Leamington, moved—" That it is desirable that a County Asso ciation be formed for the insurance of owners and cattle from loss by any fatal, or infectious, or con tagious epidemic which might break out." Mr. IIuNT, veterinary surgeon, seconded the above in an able speech, and it was unanimously carried. Honorary secretaries having been appointed, and other formal business gone through, the meeting was brought to a close by a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff being unanimously carried. NOTTINGHAM. At a meeting of the Nottingham Town Council yesterday Mr. Edwin Patchitt said that with respect to the great alarm existing in the country on account of the cattle plague, he had been requested to ask the Mayor to call a public meeting to meet the county magistrates at the Exchange Hall, on Satur day next, in order to form an association so as to more effectually restrain persons in possession of diseased cattle from disposing of them, and, under certain cir cumstances, to assist those who were unfortunate enough to have become possessed of animals suffer ing from disease in order to their being destroyed. The movement was originated by Mr. Paget, late member for the borough, a gentleman whose know ledge and experience eminently qualified him to in dicate the measures which should be taken. He thought the Council ought to be ready to join this movement. Alderman VICKERS said, as this was a subject of which time was of the greatest importance, he should move at once that the Sanitary Committee be autho rised at once to appoint a properly qualified person to inspect the cattle brought into the marlet.—The motion was carried. OXFORDSHIRE. Mr. W. M. F. Melliar, High Sheriff of Oxford shire, has called a public meeting, in compliance with a requisition presented to him and signed by a large number of the principal landowners and agri culturists of the county, to consider the propriety of presenting a loyal address to her Majesty, beseech ing her to give orders for all possible measures to be taken to check the cattle disease, as far as may be, and also praying her, if the present laws are insuffi cient, to take such immediate steps as may be needed to remedy the defect. The meeting is to be held at the County-hall, Oxford, on Saturday next,the 19th inst. BERWICK. A meeting of the farmers residing in the neigh bourhood of Berwick was held in the Corn Ex change of that town on Saturday, to consider what measures should be adopted to prevent the spread of the cattle disease. The meeting was largely attended by farmers—Mr. J. Wilson, of Edington Mains, occupied the chair. Mr. GLENDINING reported a conversation he had had with Mr. Superintendent List of the Berwick shire County Constabulary. Mr. List suggested a committee should be formed with a paid secretary, and that its meetings should be held at Dunse; that small committees should be elected in each parish, and that the duty of such committees should be to obtain all the information they could as to cattle coming into the district, to see they were not dis eased, and to watch over them for some time. Mr. List would order the county police to watch all the railway stations, and give information to the com mittee of cattle coming into the district. He would ascertain where they had come from, and for whom they were consigned. Mr. List also suggested that a circular should be sent to all the dealers and breeders of cattle in the neighbourhood, warning them to see that the cattle they purchased were free from disease, and that they should keep them sepa rate from other cattle for some time. The C RAHMAN thought that the suggestions of Mr. List were very valuable, and would prove of great benefit to the farmers. Mr. M'GALL suggested that a mutual assurance society should be formed among the farmers for the purpose of compensating those who might lose their cattle through the plague ; but as a meeting had to be held at Dunse on Tuesday it was thought better • not to discuss the question till then. A great deal of conversation ensued as to the pro priety of taking immediate steps, and the conclusion come to was that a deputation should attend the meeting at Dunse on Tuesday, to confer with the farmers who would there assemble ; and that the chairman should write to the chairman of the Cham ber of Commerce at their meeting in Edinburgh, suggesting to them the necessity of writing to the Home Secretary, calling upon him either to prevent the importation of foreign cattle into the country or to put a quarantine upon all vessels coming into this country with cattle. The motion was unanimously agreed to, and the meeting shortly afterwards sepa rated. There will be a very strong opposition in Newcastle and the mining and manufacturing districts of Northumberland and the North to any attempt to prohibit foreign cattle from being imported into the . Tyne. Considerable numbers are brought in weekly, and they have had a tendency to check the advance of prices at the cattle market, which were rapidly putting it out of the power of large sections of the working classes of purchasing animal food. Very great care is being taken by the munieiial officers and the Custom-house authorities that no diseased cattle be landed, and down to the present time foreign cattle have been brought to the Tyne free from disease and in good condition.

The Journal de Varsovie publishes the follow. ing : " The Hotel de l'Europe, in this city, which was confiscated by the State during the disturbances of 1863 in consequence of the murder of Dr. Bartholdi, will be given up to its proprietor on the Ist of October, by order of his Excellency Count Berg, Lieutenant of the Kingdom. " Owing to another order of his Excellency, the convents of Warsaw will be evacuated by the troops which were cantoned in them during the insurrec tion. These two measures show that the affairs of the Kingdom of Poland are in the best course, and are taking a thoroughly pacific turn." CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) A gentlemanly-looking foreigner, named Lafaucade, sur rendered to an indictment, charging him with having com mitted perjury at a trial in one of the superior courts of Westminster, in which a Madame Valentine was a claimant for some valuable securities, and in which the defendant gave strong evidence adverse to her claim. The trial was of a very complicated character, and will not conclude, it is expected, before late at night. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Frank Lancing Martin was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering an order for the delivery of a blank cheque, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. The prisoner, it appeared, engaged a boy to go to the Bank of England to obtain a blank cheque, representing it to be for Messrs. Gosling & Co., which was untrue. Brett, the officer on duty at the bank, saw the boy enter, and having made some inquiries of him, the cheque was delivered to him, and when he arrived outside the bank the prisoner came up, took the paper from him, and then Brett took him into custody. The prisoner, it was discovered, had ordered a large quantity of clothes from several tailors in the City, and had resided at two or three hotels, each of which he had left without paying his bill. The Common Sergeant told him it was a very serious offence, and it was fortunate he did not carry his design fully into operation. Had he done so he would most un doubtedly have been sentenced to penal servitude. He then sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. The trial of Robert Waters, late steward of the Earl of Shaftesbury, has been postponed until the October sessions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. WESTMINSTER. THE BALLOON ASCENT AT CREMOENE.-Arthur Lovejoy a carman, was charged with being drunk, and endangering the lives of persons near Cremorne garden; and violently assaulting the police. At seven o'clock last evening, while a large number of persons were waiting in the neighbourhood of Cremorne for the balloon ascent, the defendant drove a cart reek lessly down Cremorne-lane, to their imminent danger. He was so drunk that he repeatedly fell about the cart, and only had one rein to drive with. He, of course, had no control over the horse. Police-constable Manley, 847, on observing his condition, stopped the horse, and took the defendant into custody. Accused, who is a very tall, powerful man, immediately seized the constable and twice threw him over his shoulder; from the effects of which he spat blood during the whole night. On his way to the station defendant resisted violently and kicked the constable, and on his way to the station • seized a two-pound weight and was about to throw it at him, when ho was prevented by a bystander. He was violent to other constables who came to Manley's assistance. Defendant said that he met with some friends who had treated him to drink until he hardly knew what occurred. He considered his friends had been his enemies in giving him the drink. Mr. Arnold thought ho was his own enemy in taking it. His conduct had been fraught with danger to the public, and when apprehended he had committad a violent assault, aggravated by his seizing the weight to throw at tho officer. Committed to hard labour for a month, and to find bail for three months. ACCIDENT TO MR. MONK, M.P.—We regret to hear that our respected representative, C. J. Monk, Esq., has sustained a serious accident by falling through two skylights. One rib was broken and several severe bruises inflicted.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TAT TERSALLS'—LAsT EVENING. The disputed race for the litzntingdonshire Stakes was the great topic of conversation this afternoon. The stew ards of the meeting decided that the stakes should be awarded to Suspicion, the second horse, it having been proved that Claxton, who came in first, had been struck out of his engagements on the Ist of August, and consequently could not legally be considered as in the race. The question of bets was gone into this afternoon by two of the committee of Tattersalls', and the following extra ordinary decision arrived at : " HUNTINGDON STAKES. " Tattersalls', Aug. 14. " With regard to bets on the above race, we declare that Claxton must be considered the winner. " WESTMORELAND. " GEORGE PAYNE." The grounds on which the committee have thus adju dicated we are at a loss to conjecture. Tho Huntingdon stewards decided that Claxton was not in the race—in point of fact, had no existence, and should not have been allowed to run, and the Tattersalls' committee have declared him the winner! The good racing law that stakes and bets should go together seems to have been ignored on this occasion. RADCLIFFE RACES-MONDAY. The Bury Plate of 40 soya (handicap), for all ages ; win ners extra.

The Case of William Watson. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The case of Wm. Watson, at Marlborough-street Police-court, reported in your impression of last evening, is by no means an isolated one. I myself was served pre cisely similar some months ago at Clerkenwell, with the exception that the persons, three in number, who wit nessed the transaction, were strangers to me, but never thelbss kindly offered and did go to the station, and wore refused admittance, although I told the officer in charge there were two or three persons outside to speak in my behalf. His answer was, " They must come in the morning," and I was consequently locked up on the con stable's own false and uncontradicted statement.. Despite Inspector Walker's denial that such is the practice, I ma i n tain that it is the rule, and not the excepti on .
