He believed the smallest quantity recorded was 6 grains; 30 grains were generally required for an adult. Until this time this quan tity,..would not have been discovered. He believed 100 chemists would have missed it; but any chemist using the means he had, and the same delicacy of manipula tion, would have found it. Time was of no importance in the detection of arsenic in a dead body. He wished that to be distinctly understood, and that it should go forth to the public. Dr. Symonds deposed that he was struck by the re markable preservation of the viscera, though he should hesitate in drawing any inference from that fact only; he visited the deceased three times before her death, At his first interview he found her in a state of great ex haustion, with low Lev er , i rr it at i on o f t h e li n i ng mem brane of ? the bowels, as indicated by diarrheas, irrita- Lion of the windpipe, as indicated by hoarseness and accelerated breathing, which led him to consider the disease pulmonary; but on examination of her chest he found no evidence of any such disease. She haid pain in swallowing, which he attributed to irritation of the lining membrane of the oesophagus, below the gullet. He considered the case an irregular form of gastro enterric fever, found in 'women sometimes after con finement, and which was attributable to a morbid poison generated in the body. Neither of his prescriptions contained any portion of arsenic, or any compound into which arsenic might by possibility have entered. Taking the post shorten examination in connexion with the symptoms which he witnessed, and his knowledge that arsenic was found in the body, he was of opinion that the disorder under which the deceased laboured, and of which she died, was caused by arsenic; he saw the husband once only, on the occasion of his first visit. The symptoms in this case were such as might have arisen from arsenic. Vomiting and purging were amongst the most common symptoms of swallowing arsenic. Mr. John flumpage said he was Mrs. Hill's medical practitioner. He had heard Mr. Herapath's evidence, and he was of opinion that her death was occasioned by small and repeated dotes of arsenic. None of the meth. sines he bad administered contained arsenic. After some further evidence, the inquest was again adjourned till to-morrow (Tuesday). MURDEROUS ATTACK. The valet of the Earl of Besborough, the Master of the Buckbounds, was robbed and almost murdered, by gang of four ruffians (supposed to be connected with the hordes of thimble-riggers attracted to Amp for the purposes of plu n d er ), b etween n i ne are Lep- o'clock in the evening of Thursday last. The Earl,ofaesborough was staying at Martin's Mane the residence of L a d y Mary Bulkeley, in th e neighbourhood of the Heath, during the races, with the Earl of Chesterfield and other noblemen. On Thursday evening, while his Lord ship was dining with a large party, the valet proceeded to the Steward's Stand, on the course—a distance of about two miles from Martin's Herne, for the purpose of giving some instructions to the persons there re lating to the arrangements of his master for the following day. On his return, when about half-way between the stand and the mansion, he was beset by four ruffians, who with dreadful imprecations, demanded his money or his life, threatening to murder him if he made the least noise, or attempted any resistance. Without however giving him time to reply, they set upon him, knocke(l him down, and struck him with their fists and thick bludgeons over the head and face till he was insen sible. They then robbed him of his gold watch and chain, four sovereigns, and some loose silver. Upon his recovering his senses, after the lapse of some time, he found himself covered with blood, flowing from wounds on the head and face, his eyes nearly closed from the blows he had received, and his body severely contused. H e a t l ast manage d to ge t b ac k t o Martin's Berne, with his clothes nearly torn off his back. An instant pursuit was immediately made after the ruffians, but no traces of th em were discovered. Lord Be:borough left the course, at the conclusion of the races on Friday. for the Royal Hotel at Slough, and afterwards proceeded to town by the railway, • . TELLIGENCE.

MAIL COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND.,--Then is every probability that the proper authorities will take immediate measures to improve the mail communication between this country and the sister island, by causing the bags to be transmitted from Dublin to London, yid Holyhead, instead of, as at present, being sent through Liverpool. This important arrangement, which it is ex pected will be carried into effect during the ensuing month of July, will cause the delivery of the Iris papers and correspondence in the English metropolis in eleven or twelve hours after leaving Dub• lin. This is an improvement of great importance to the commercial and manufacturing interests of both countries; and one that ought not to be delayed longer than is absolutely necessary. The remaining por tion of the Chester and Hol)head line of railway. through the island of Anglesey, is ready for being opened; and the extraordinary fast steam-vessels, just built on the Thames, effect the passage across the Irish Charnel iu three. and-a-half hours. The jetties in the Holyhead harbour are ready fir their reception, and the very extensive national works there are progressing satisfactorily. The traffic will be carried across the sus pension bridge until the completion of the stupendous tubular bridge over the Menai, the tubes for which are being constructed on scaffolding erected on the shores of the Menai Straits, and a large number of men are con stantly eng age d i n th e structure o f the massive th stone piers the piers and approac h es. I t i s grat if y i ng to state second tub u l ar b r id ge f ur th e passage of the river Con way is being rapidly carried on, and will_ be completed in a muc h l ess space o r t i me t h an i ts predecessor. The line has been opened for goods traffic, and therehe distance is trt every eee probability of its business fast increasing. The from Bangor to Chester, 60 miles, is now traversed two hours and five minutes. —Morning Chronicle.' No. 17,382.] LONDON, MONDAY EVENING SIT JUNE 12, 1848. SALES BY AUCTION. BERTS.

"Sts,—Having suffered most dreadAilly for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic rms. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain • and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my life : th ey have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. _ . ~ I sin, Sir, yours respectfully. " J. J. WILSON."

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un aoroprosing hurry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement.

MURDER OF AN OFFICER. About nine o'clock on Saturday morning the inmates of Coldbath-fields prison were thrown into the greatest consternation by a report that William Woodhouse, one of the wardens stationed in yard No. 5 of the old prison, had been murdered by a prisoner named George James Hewson, who was committed from the Old Bailey in the session of November last, convicted of concealing the birth of au illegitimate child, the incestuous is.aie of his own daughter, a yeueg woman 18 years of age. who was sentenced at the same sessions for the same offence to nine months' incarceration in the above prison. Not withstanding the privacy unnecessarily persevered in by the authorities at the prison, the refusal of the gover nor, Mr. Chesterton, to deliver up the murderer to In spector Penny of the G division for examination before a magistrate, and the, jealous exclusion of persons con nected with the press from the prison, the following particulars, furnished to our reporter by an eye. witness, may be relied upon :—The deceased man, Woodhouse, who was only thirty-three years of age, and during his five years and a half servitude in the esta blishment bore the character of a steady, sober, and humane officer, had occasion, on Saturday morning, to report the prisoner to the governor for talking , contrary to the prison regulations, and was directed to lock him i up in his cell until further orders. He proceeded to do so just as the men in the yard were preparing to go to morning prayers, but before locking the cell he went in to remove the pannikin in which the prisoner had had his food. He was about to close the door on his return, when Hewson lifted up his arm and with great violence struck him a downward blow, saying, "Take that." The deceased staggered back, but was instantly supported s o f th e i. to prison, Mr. by two of the prisoners who ran to his assistance. He se t rav Y ed le i cried out, " The Lord have mercy on me. I am stabbed to the heart," and sunk in the arms of his supporters. Several officers then ran to his assistance, and he was conveyed to the infirmary, where he expired in less than ten minutes without uttering another word. A post mortem examination was made by the surgeon e thWakefield,ing amongsta nd As soon as Hewson struck the blow he was ob served which he had been • picking in his cell. The officers seized him without r • . resistance, and on searching the oakum they found three inches, and a shut knife with a blade of about The prisoner, for sharpened i to a point like a dagger. had evidently possessed purpose it is impossible to say, s h om is e as l aj oo s s t e an o t' ak M um r. con siderable time, as he had h imself of the knife for a con on purpose to conceal it in a t p b ock . et apparently contrived of his trousers. When ask e inner seam of the left leg who had done him no ed why he had killed a man b— right, he did i • injury, he replied, "It served the injure me."

An ni prison with him, were day before Mr. Wakley, the cor oner, will be held this ex pected that any facts in addition to but it is not on to those will be elicited by the in qu i ry . above stated SUPPOSED MRU On Friday evening an inquest was opened before 11,1 r W. Carter, at the Albert Taver n , Battersea-fields, upon. the body of a gentleman unknown, wh o was found lying on the shore of the river near the above-mentioned house. The deceased is apparently 26 years of age, stout figure, fair complexion, dark brown hair, close cut whiskers, his height about five feet five or six inches, and he was attired in a black dress coat, a striped vest, tweed trousers, and white shirt spotted with red dog's heads holding a stick. A pair of kid gloves were found in his coat pocket, but no other property was found on his person. The appearance of the body was such as to induce much suspicion, and this suspicion was greatly increased by the absence of money, jewellery, papers, and everything of value. On a nearer examination of the body the forehead was found to be severely bruised, and in the centre of the frontal bone there was a small wound penetrating the skull, and apparently inflicted by some sharp instrument. After hearing some evidence the inquest was adjourned, that a post mortem examina tion might be made, the coroner directing that the body should be moved afterwards to the bone-house, and kept there as long as possible for identification. On Saturday, about noon, Inspector Busain had au interview with Mr. Beadon, the sitting magistrate, and stated that Dr. Wing had extracted a pistol bullet from the deceased gentleman's head, and bad stated it to be his firm conviction that the deceased was murdered. In consequence of this announcement on the part of Dr. Wing, fuller particulars of the unfortunate de ceased than had been deemed necessary to give at the finding of the body were sent by route to all the metropolitan police-stations with a view of ascertaining who the deceased may be. The post mortem exami nation was made yesterday morning by Dr. Wing, assisted by Dr. Holmes. The forehead or frontal bone exhibited externally three very severe contused wounds, evidently inflicted by some deadly instrument, such as a "life-preserver." In the centre of the frontal bone was a small orifice, through which a pistol-ball had en tered and lodged in the table of the cranium, so as to press on the brain without passing through the skull. The position of the ball would scarcely be such in a sui cide's case, as they generally fired at the side of the head or in the mouth. Another reason for its not being a suicide was, that there were no traces of powder in the wound, which would have been the case if the pistol had been fired close to the person, and the base of the skull was not injured. The backs of the hands were much bruis( d by being beaten with a thick stick or life preserver. Respiration had never taken place in the water, therefore ho had been carried in a dead state to the river and thrown in. KENT.

Carter, the coroner for West Surrey, has been engaged investigating, at the Old King's Inn, Bebbington Corner, situate between Mitcham and Carshalton, a most remarkable case of al leged secret poisoning, by which the lives of no fewer than seven persons were placed in imminent peril, and one of whom has since died. The unfortunate person was a lady named Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, aged 62, who resided with a Mrs. Cook on Bebbingtor. Common, She appears to have possessed property : hut of this or her relatives not the least tidings could be elicited. Mrs. Cook, who is the widow of an officer, took the house in question last Michaelmas ; the deceased lived with her, also Mrs. Cook's daughter, two female servants, and a footboy. A young man named George Chamberlain frequently visited the house as a suitor to Miss Cook, greatly to the annoyance of the mother, who disapproved of his visits. On the 12th of this month some angry words arose between Chamberlain and Mrs. Cook, in consequence of his proposing to take her daughter to Brighton. The journey was persisted in, and the young man went to Brighton with Miss Cook and one of the female servants. During their absence Mrs. Cook, the deceased, and the remaining servants ate their dinner, which included some apple pudding, and they afterwards drank tea, the sugar for which was taken from a basin on the table. They were then taken violently ill. A surgeon was sent for, and he was un able to account fur the cause of illness, and the deceased died a few days afterwards. When Miss Cook returned home, she and the maid servant were similarly attacked after drinking something sweetened from the same sugar basic. An inquiry was then instituted, and it was dis covered that the sugar and basin had disappeared; whether they had been intentionally destroyed it was impossible to say. A post mortem examination of the deceased took place, but no truce of poison could be found. The coroner and jury had but one opinion as to the cause of death, but in the absence of direct testimony, an open verdict was returned. The police were instructed to continue their investigations. Some of the sufferers have not yet recovered. SUPPOSED MURDER at BRISTOL. On Friday the coroner's in quest was resum e d on t h e body of Maria Hill, who, with two of her children, had died under circumstances that g ave d rise to suspicions of re f to them obtaining hus band sad father, with a view poison having been administered a by lar th g e e of money for which he had effe cted e sum his wife's life, and the premiums an insurance upon be lieved he was not in a Condit' upon which it was person subsequently put ion to pay. The suspected and an account of the i an end to his own existence, lished in The Sun, nquest upon his body was pub- Mr. W. Herapath , the after noticing the 'celebrated analytical chemist, &c., and detailing thestate. caution with which he had made he had 3'ilia' and narrating a variety of madeexperi ments on different parts of the viscera, without success took s for some time , thatat leng th be a b out d said dissolvedthem " of the intestines of Maria Hill and in hydro-chluric acid, boiling, and con centrated the whole of it down to about two or three ounces ; he then introduced a slip of bright metallic copper, and kept it b o ili ng some time, and believed he discovered metallic arsenic upon it. He then dissolved the whole of the remaining intestines in the same way, and treated it with the same test—polished copper. He then ob tained undoubted traces of metallic arsenic. Mr. Hera• path produced to the jury a slip of copper so treated, immersed in water to preserve it, as arsenic did not oxydise in water. After the above experiment he treated another piece of copper the came way, scraped the sur faces, and heated the scrapings in a small crooked tube, when he found white crystals of arsenious acid sublimed. Those were dissolved in a small quantity of pure water boiling, and tested, first with ammoniacal sulphate of copper, which gave Scheele's green; awl then with sul- phuretted hydrogen, which gave him sulphurate of arsenic. The quantity was exceedingly minute: not more than the hundredth part of a grain was taken frt m several pounds. As to the cause of death, he could only say that, from the inflammation and from the pre sence of arsenic, he had no doubt that arsenic was the cause of death, but that the principal part of the poison had been removed by sickness or evacuation. It should be understood the arsenic was detected in the integuments themselves not amongst the food, buy in the substance of the intestines. The body of Maria Hill presented two of the appearances which followed taking arsenic, viz., inflammation of the surface and pre servation of the viscera. Mr. Herapath then gave a description of solutions of arsenics, which, he said, he had known disappear in twenty- four hours, ex cept in the liver. In the solid form it remained longer, in proportion to the activity of the operation; but it was considered by the first forein practitioners, that wh ere a person lived fourteen or fifteen days after swallowing 'ramie, all traces would have. left the system. th e e Illustrated by 26 Anatomical Coloured Engravings on Steel.

At present the first mail for the north leaves Manches ter at 4 A.m , arriving at Glasgow and Edinburgh at 2 P.M., while the box for the dispatch of the second mail closes at 2 40 P.M., and the letters arrive at Glasgow and Edinburgh at 2 A.M. on the following day. The letters intended to be dispatched by the first mail con sequently lie at the Post-office here for six or eight hours before their departure, while those conveyed by the second mail undergo a similarly useless detention in the post-offices at Glasgow and Edinburgh. Letters for the second mail could be posted until 3 P.M. previously to the opening of the Caledonian Railway, so that Man chester, as tar at least as this mail goes, has actually been a sufferer by the increased facilities afforded by rail ways. The inconveniences of the present Post -office arrangements appear to arise from the dispatch of the northern mails from Manchester and Liverpool being made to depend upon the arrival there of the mails from London. The Commercial Association of Manchester, therefore, in a memorial which they addressed to the Postmaster -General on the 24th ult. suggested that a distinct mail northward should be dispatched from Manchester and Liverpool ; or that (which would be a great convenience to the merchants of the metropolis as well as of those of Manchester and Liverpool) a mail should be dispatched from London at from one to two o'clock, P.M., which might be joined by the Manchester and Liverpool letters at Parkside, about seven or eight o'clock on the same evening, and which would arrive at Edinburgh and Glasgow about six o'clock the following morning. By this means, the merchants of Manchester and Liverpool would be allowed until six o'clock in the evening, for the completion of their northern correspon dence. The receipt of this memorial has been acknow ledged, and its suggestions are stated to be under the consideration of the Postmaster-General. Since the memorial of the Manchester Commercial Association, the subject has been taken up in Liverpool, and a me morial has been forwarded from that town, recommend.- ing that the morning mail from London should be con veyed by the express train, which arrives at Liverpool at ten minutes past three o'clock, P.M. They also recom mend that the train leaving London at five o'clock, P.M. should proceed forward, to Edinburgh and Glasgow at ordinary speed, so as to reach those places at seven o'clock on the following morning. The letters could then b e conveyed by the h Manc alf-past e i g h t hestr o'clock, P.M. t ra i n to Warrington, to meet this train, and so proceed onward to their destination.-111andester Guardian.
