The ra ilway, seven mil e s an d o ne furlong in length, will no t , Metice at a junction with the East Kent line at Sitting tj;itirile, and passing through Milton to the present Ferry over th -w ale, where the bridete is to be erected, will continue Mace through Queenber'ough to its termination near her ;taJes t y's dockyard at Sh eerne ss. There will be no tunnel, l'Or work o f engineering difficulty, and the line will pass ; I v " a country w ith mos t f avoura bl e gra di en ts. The esti ated Cost of the works, stations, bridge, land, and preli kinary ' expenses is 84,0001., and the directors have m ide ke hag,reements with Messrs Jackson and Beane, the eminent c,ontractors as will ensure the completion of the whole un uertaking at that estimate, and within 18 months of its corn illeaceMent, by which time the East Kent Railway will be ° Pened to Canterbury. The Act of Parliament has been obtained with the consent of all owners and occupiers of the land through which , the 'me will pass, and the expenses of a Parliamentary contest, Usually so destructive to future profits, have thus been hap y In consideration also of the facilities to be af orded to the ordinary road traffic by the bridge Parliament bas consented to a free transfer to this Company of all the rights, privileges, and property now belonging to the wardens and jury of the King's Ferry. These concessions include a fre e public-house, a toll-house, about 225 acres of land, and many rights which will materially tend to the prosperity of the Company. The inconsiderable length of the line to be constructed is 13 Y no means commensurate with the magnitude of the ob jects it seeks to accomplish, son.e of which are of great national importance. An inspection of the map will at once show that it is the last connecting link between all the great Government dockyards and arsenals, and that it will supply r eady access to the fortifications which command the mouths of the Thames and Medway, and which are, in fact, the bul warks towards the sea of the metropolis itself. It will con nect the fertile Island of Sheppy with the main land of Kent, and open an easy, communication between Sheerness and Can terbury, Deal and Dover, on the one hand, and London, C,hathatn, Maidstone, Woolwibh, Aldershot, Portsmouth, and P lymouth on the other ; and it will form part of a direct r ents to the Continent from the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex, via Southend. The Island of Sheppy is itself rich in agricultural produce of all kinds, and in the valuable oyster beds on its shores ; it contains numerous villages, and the towns of Queenborough a nd Sheerness, the latter already a place of much importance from its well-known naval arsenal and dockyard, destined, from the additional works in progress, to become the principal naval station in the kingdom ; it possesses many beautiful sites facing the German Ocean, and enlivened by the con tinual stream of shipping entering and leaving the river, Wh ich await on l y th e means o f re ady acces s, a nd the facilities t hey are certain to create, to become very favourite resorts of the denizens of the metropolis in pursuit of either health or Pleasure. f Irr espective, however, of the traffic which every railway is found to or i g i nate, su ff ic i e nt already exists, in connection With othe r a d vantages indica t e d a b ove , to hold ou t, u p on a careful computation, the promise of an annual dividend of 10 Per cent. on the capit a l t o be expended; and the Directors con adently submit that the very moderate cost per mile of the locality of var ks the alm os t t o t a l a b sence o f preliminary expenses, the R fO r T ISe the from belief that formation afford reasona ble and safe the rail wa y itself, and the prospective traffic to grounds expectationsof profit will be fully re alised.

Although arrangements have not yet been completed regardlegsubecriptions in all the other burghs, the list in Montrose, as aided by some munifioent gentlemen at a distance, at present amounts to 3101. The committee continue to work steadily at the busi ness in hand ; and we - have no doubt they will be sup ported in the other burghs.—Montrose Review. SYDNEY.—The commercial accounts from Sydney are very satisfactory. During the preceding month the markets had steadily improved, and advanced prices were obtainable for almost all articles. Tuis was partly to be attributed to diminished arrivals from Eu. rope, and to the usual demand at the commencement of the winter season. The export trade was likewise ac tive, and the transactions in wool, tallow, and hides had been very extensive. Wool especially had realised high quotations, owing principally to purchases fur France direct. Since the French import duties have been re duced the manufacturers in that country, it is said, pre fer having their wool shipped direct to buying it at the London sales, as they thus avoid double commission, freight, &c. THE NEW CITY CEMETERY.—Yesterday, at a Court of Common Council, a report from the Commissioners of Sewers, relative to the dispute between the commis sioners and the clergy with regard to the new City cemetery, at Ilford, was presented to the court by Mr. Deputy Obbard. The report, appended to which was a mass of voluminous documents, was then read It appeared that the previsions of the bill which the commissioners had drawn on for the consideration of Sir George Grey, gave power to the burial board, when morn than two parishes became entitled to use one burial ground, to fix the fees to be paid upon every in terment, subject to the approval of tho Home Secretary. That the burial board should alone have the power to appoint the regular officiating ministers, as well as other requieite officers, and to pay their salaries. That the clergy of every parish from which the dead body should be brought for interment should be entitled to a fee upon the burial of every such person, if buried according to the rites of tho Church of England..

TRIAL OF WILLIAM DOVE. YORK, FRIDAY EVENING. The following additional evidence was taken yesterday : Mr. Morley, of Leeds, road the post mortem report made by himself and Mr. Nunnelly, and also the report of the analysis of the contents of the stomach of Mrs. Dove. The latter were submitted to several tests, and a sufficieat quan tity of strychnine was found to account for dead. Five animals were poisoned with the strychnine so obtained, the animals exhibiting in every instance the known symptoms of death by strychnine. Another series of experiments were made upon animals with strychnine from the surgery of the witness, and the effectS on the animals were precisely Examination in chief continued—l am of opinion that Mrs. Dove died from the effoats of strychnine, and from n. other cause. I have not the least doubt that all the shocks or spasms described by the witnesses were produced by strychnine. Some of the medicines prepared by me were bitter. Before the analysis of the stomach was complete, I had a conversation with the prisoner at his mother's house on the subject of the analysis. He asked, " Have you found poison l" I said that we had not yet finished the analysis, so that I could not inform him, but that there was no natural cause of death discovered. He then asked what would the jury say if poison were found? I told him that would be a very serious matter, and that, if poison were found, she must either have taken it herself or it must have been administered to her. Ho begged I would let him know what we had found as soon as possible. I spoke to ;rim about the strychnine he had obtained at my surgery, and ho said be had only obtained it once--that he had placed it in his razor-case—that he had told his wife that it was deadly poison, " the same that Palmer used," and that she must be very careful and not touch it. From what I have heard of the symptoms of Mrs. Dove on Saturday night, I think she ualut, have taken from two to three grains of strychnine. One grain is a dose sufficient to kill. I never said to the pri soner, "My dear Mr. Dove, there shall be no Rostimortem ex amination—thereis no necessity for it." ( WitnnAikiaid he was anxious to state, in reply to an a.s.cartion that efikr , contioused contents of the stomach of one animal might destroy the ilieofanotl;er, that he had tried the experiment, but that no injurious result whatever followed.) I examined the body of the little dog, and fennd in the stomach a suffi cient quantity of strychnine to account for death. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—l have attended the pri soner's father and his family for some years, but I knew little of the prisoner until he came to live at Cardigan place. The prisoner on one occasion asked me whether I suspected him, and whether I thought he could be so cruel I do not think the clot of blood described could have con tained sufficient strychnine to kill a dog. I found very slight traces of strychnine in the intestines of Mrs. Dove. The symptoms of hye'seda are somewhat similar to almost all kinds of disease, iucludine tetanus. A desire to be rubbed is not a symptom of strychnine, but is, neverthe less, consistent with strychnine. To Mr. Overeud—There are several cases known in which persons suffering from strychnine have desired to have their limbs rubbed. The Foreman of the July—Would strychnine have dis coloured the medicine you sent to Mrs. Dove, or would it have left any deposit iu the bottles? Witness—lt would not; but a slight powdery or gritty appearance might remain on the side of the bottle. Mr. Nunnelly examined—l am a el'ellow of the College of Surgeons, and Lecturer on Chemistry at the Leeds School of Medicine. I assisted at the post morten examination on the body of Mrs. Dove, and I agree with the last witness in all that he his stated with reference -to the chemical analysis of the contents of the stomach. I have made several experiments with strychnine on animals, but I never saw a human being labouring under the disease, though I have dissected the bodies of two persons who died of that poison. It is my decided opinion that Mrs. Dove died of the poison of strychnine, and nothing else. The improvement in the condition of Mrs. Dove on the morning of hor death was not inconsistent with her having taking strychnine a day or two before, although I s h ou ld not have expected it. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—There Wits nothing in the, post-mortein appearance of Mrs. Dove inconsistent with the administration of strychnine on Saturday night. I agree with Mr. Morley that hysteria presents the features of alusoet every other disease, including tetanus. If we had ex amined the intestines minutely, I have no doubt we should have found it, and I have no doubt it is there now. We did not examine the tissues of the body. Having found the strychnine in the stomach, we did not go further. This case and the one which was recently tried in London, has done more, within the last three mouths, to assist in find ing strychnia in the tissues of the body than all the pre vial's experience of the faculty. By Mr. Bliss—l attribute the symptoms which Mrs. Dove evinced previous to the Saturday ,of her death to strych nine. I know of no disease which could have caused such symptoms. Dr. Hobson examined—Early on the morning of the 21 of March I accompanied Mr. Morley to the house of the prisoner, and saw the body of Mrs. Dove. There ,was no thing particular about it which attracted my attention. I think all the symptoms described as having occurred prior to the Saturday night have been found in an aggra vated form of hysteria. By Mr. 0 verend—l do not attribute Mrs. Dove's attacks to hysteria. Dr. Christison examined—l am Professor of Chemistry at Edinburgh. I have heard the evidence given by Dr. Morley and Dr. Nunnelly as to the °artisr symptoms in Mrs. Dove's case, and I attribute them to strychnine • but it is just possible that among the varied forms of hysteria they might have been caused brit. I never, however, saw a case of the kind. Insensibility before death is not incon sistent with strychnine. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss --It is difficult to limit the possible variety of hysteria, but I never saw a case such as that of Mrs. Dove's. On the contrary, her symptoms were quite consiztent with cases of attacks caused by over-doses of strychnine administered in medicine. I have not heard enough of the evidence in this case to pronounce an opinion as to the sanity or insanity of the prisoner. Mr. T. Teale, surgeon to the Leeds Hospital, examined —I have heard the symptoms described by the witnesses, and I have no doubt they were caused by strychnine. I have seen cases of over-doses of strychnine administered in medicine, and they were quite consistent with those de scribed in this case. The symptoms of hysteria are some what similar to those of etrychnia, but I never knew a case where all the features of this case presented themselves in hysteria. Ido not consider the improvement in Mrs. Dove's condition on Saturday morning to have been incon sistent with the administration of strychnine on the Thurs day or Friday previously. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—l do not deny the aim. lute possibility that hysteria might, not have caused Mrs, Dove's earlier symptoms, but it is not my opinion. A juror asked the witness whether, in his opinion, amen who might not actually have delirium tremens might still be in such a condition as to imagine that ho was sur rounded by spirits and devils? 'rhe witness said it was quite possible that a man not, la bouring under delirium tremens might in his drunken or semi-drunken fits, imagine that he saw spirits and devils, and yet be quite clear and sane when sober. Mr. William Hey, surgeon of Leeds, deposed that he attributed the attacks from which Mrs. Dove had suffered to strychn ia. Cross-examined -by Mr. Bliss—Had seen a good deal of hysteria, but never saw a eise similar to lire. Dove's. Mr. 8.. Hey, surgeon and sheriff of York, gave similar evidence. Mr. Overend said that this was the case for the prosecu tion. Mr. Bass made an application that certain other w nesses whose names on the back of the indictment, an who had been examined by the grand jury, should be called for the prosecution. Mr. Baron Bramwell said the application was unreason able, and that as the modern practice, which was also in his mind the most sensible, did not recognise such a course as binding on the prosecution, he should not order the wit nesses (of whom he knew nothing) to be called. The proceedings were then adjourned, and the jury were escorted back to York Castle, an arrangement having been made, on their representation, that one of the court-yards should be devoted to their use for air and exercise. Mr. Baron Bramwell regretted that he could not sanction the jury taking exercise on the roads or in the fields, as he co uld not, consistently with a regard for the oath taken by I the sheriff, consiler a road or a field to be " the private and convenient place" is which the jury were to be " see eluded." On the jury being sworn this morning, Mr. Bliss, Q.C., addressed them for the prisoner. The learned gentleman remarked that the prosecution had lasted two days. and that during that time all the skill, learning, and vigilance of the Crown hail been directed against the prisoner, with the view of placing him beyond the pale of mercy, and almost of hope. He was sure, however, that the jury would , not allow their minds to be influenced by the evidence brought against the prisoner, except so far as it satisfied their minds of his guilt. The case of the prisoner had been exaggerated and misrepresented, and there was not a home in England in which his crime was not discussed and no doubt believed. Moreover, there was a recent cage which had caused a psnic in the public mind, and had created an impression that society was not safe, and that domestic ties were only facilities for committing private and atrocious crimes. The public, and the counsel for the prosecution in this case, had assumed that a murder was committed, and the very walls of the building in which they were now assembled were actually covered with placards, inscribed with the words " Trial of Dove, the Leeds Poisoner." It seemed, too, that the terrible affliction of unsoundness of mind was to be shut out as an element of defence in this case, and that it was to be held as proven - that the prisoner had never suffered from that greatest of all human calamities—madness. He was convinced that if the jury would view the facts of this extraordinary case its if they had never heard them before, they could not ar rive at the conclusion that the p risoner Was guilty of a foal 1 and deliberate murder. Let them for a moment look at the constitution of the prisoner's household. There was an invalid wife, a drunken husband, and .a young and thought less female servant. The man no doubb procured poison to kill cats and mice, and consequently the prosecution assumed murder, although there was no proof that murder had been committed at all. Neither was there any woo! that the prisoner had ever administered poison; there were no admissions by the prisoner, who, on the contrary always asserted his innocence; and there was no attempt to escape. The case was one of circumstantial evidence alone, and to take life upon such evidence was an awful responsibility. The conduct of the prisoner was wholly irrecoucileable with guilty c omplicity. The prisoner might if he pleased have destroy ed his wife's life by other and secret means ; but it was contended that, with the malig nity of a fiend, he dosed her for a whole week--toll his friends cud neighbours she was about to die —called iu a strange clergyman to administer spiritual consolation — Lila m hen h e i i , i i t m eared her body with strychnine, kissed thescold lips of his victim, and attempted to smo ther all inquiry into the circumstances of her death. It was, no doubt, a suspicious circumstance, that the pri soner's wife had. died from the effects of the same descrip tion of poison which had been traced to the possession of the prisoner.; but surely, if he had intended to kill his wife with that poison., he would not have proclaimed his possession of it to his wife, his servant, and other persons with whoria he .associate.l. But it was said that the pri soner, before this had asked the witnesa garrison to get LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JU LY 19, 1856. him strychnine, and that the idea had been suggested by the revelations in Palmer's case, which had startled and horrified the world. Harrison was not, however, asked in Private for the poison, On the contrary, after Harrison had read aloud in the publicshouse the report of the in quest at Rugeley, the prisoner at once turned round and inquired of Harrison whether " he could get or make him any strychnine ?" The inquiry in Palmer case was not of such an encouraging character as to Mateo a sane man to follow in his wake ; on the contrarya the crime of that miscreant had horrified society, and the very fact of a sane man asking for strychnine at such a tame wottlul have been at once sufficient to evoke curiosity and suspicion as to its use. The prisoner, instead of netting strychnine in some quarter where his person would not have been known, went to the very medical uan who was in daily attendance upon his wife, and openly asked for strychnia to kill cats and mice. He was told by the assistants in Mr. Morley's surgery that if he used strychnine he must be very care ful, as it was a deadly poieon, and might be mistaken for one of his wife's powders. The prisoner said there was no fear of that, as his wife took no powders, and that he always gave heftier medicine hinagelf. It was also shown in evidence that the prisoner had been assured by the as sistants in the surgery that strychnine could be detected in organic Matter, and that Mr. Morley himself had dis covered it. The prisoner also knew that Mr. Morley was s practitioner who always made post mortem, examinations, and that if he refused. him liberty to make it in this case, the refusal would be pregnant with suspicion of his guilt. -Moreover, if the prisoner had wished to destroy eis wife in priyate and escape detection, he would, no doubt, if sane, have given her one dose at once, ie the night, which would have killed her when no witnesses were present. .But the course adopted by the prisoner was to summon the medical man and other persons to wit ners the tortures of his wife, and to frustrate the attempts which he was making to destroy her. It was contended by the prosecution that the dose of poison which killed the deceased was administered on the Saturday evening with the medicine given to her by the prisoner. The remainder the medicine from which the dose was taken had, since been analysed, and no poison had been found in it. It was, therefore, clear that if the pfrisoner poisoned his wife, he must have put the poipon into her medicine while Mrs. ' Witham and Mrs. Wood were present, and the wife watching all that was passing ! The most superficial ;lance at the evidence would show that this was-improb able —almost impossible. The poison was kep; in the razor-cise on the rnantelehelf, and the prisoner could not have opened the case, taken oat the paper, and put in the strychnine without observation. Moreover, the wife, ac cording to the evidence, of Elizabeth Fisher, had sus :Anted that she might be poisoned, and she would have naturally watched the movements of the prisoner with the most intense , and suspicions vigilance. It was said that washing out the glass in which the wife had taken the medicine was a proof of guilt ; but it must be remembered that the custom had always been to wash out the glass, and that the medicine was so offensive in smell and taste that it was not pleasant to keep it in the room of an invalid. The prisoner had not attempted to re move the water in which he' had washed the glass, and which was left in the basin for the inspection of the medi , cal man or any other person who might 'have come into the room. Again, it was said that the anxiety of the pri soner to prevent a post mortent, examination was conclusive proof of guilt ; but was it consistent with common sense that a man who was poisoning his wife by slow degrees should be running to the medical attendant while the wife was yet alive and erring, " Mind, there must be no post mortem, examination ?" The thing was absolutely absurd, and he was sure it would have no weight with the jury. A. circumstance tending strongly to show the state of the prisoner's mind was his visits to Harrison (the Wizard), whom he seemed to consult upon all the important affairs •f his life. It was proved that after he had been informed by Mr. Morley's assistant, and by a reference to the Mate- Ina Medico that strychnine could be discovered in the body of a deceased person, he went to Harrison, and asked him whether a grain or a grain and a half of strychnine could be discovered. This showed that the prisoner was weak minded enough to believe that Harrison had supernatural powers, and could Control the destinies of mortals. His conversation with the witness Rhodes, whom he met for the first time in his life in a public-house, was wholly incon sistent with sanity. He told this man that his wife was very ill--that he did not think she would live over, the month, and that when she died he would have "a general jollification." Why, the very fact of his telling this man that ho could not live without a woman, and that if heknew a woman who would suit him to bring her to his house, dis posed of the whole theory of the prosecution, that the pri soner's object in' getting rid of his wife was to marry his neighbour, Mrs. Witham. To show that his mind. wasrun ning on Mrs. Witham, evidence had been given that he told charwoman, whom he never saw before, that he was going to marry that lady, who had never given him the least en couragement, or afforded 'him in any way the slightest grounds for supposing that his addresses would be accept able. The time and place in which, according to the theory of the prosecution, the last fatal dose was adminis; tared, were both irreconcileable with guilt. If the prisoner, had wished to escape detection he wouldhave given his wife the poison in the medicine administered at four o'clock on the Saturday when he was quite alone with her, and not have waited. till eight o'clock, when Mrs. Witham and Mrs. Wood were present. If he in his senses haul caused the spasms from which the wife suffered, was it not un accountable that he should summon his victim's mother and friends 'to witness her tortures, and should go for a , clergyman to administer the last consolations of religion? A.ll this conduct was far more consistent with innocence than guilt. He repeated. that the case for the Crown r ested wholly upon the supposition'that the prisoner ad ministered- Poison to- hia wife in the mocliciue handed to her at eight o'clock on Saturday night. To convict the prisoner of the crime of murder, it must be proved that his was the hand which administered the fatal potion. There were two witnesses present at the time—witnesses fetched by the prisoner himself, and not aceomplices—and they load both sworn that they did not see the prisoner put anything into the glass. If the case rested there, and Mrs. Witham and Mrs. Wood had been called for the defence, the prisoner would be at once entitled to his acquittal. He (the learned counsel) denied that any murder whatever had. been committed. Might not the death of the deceased. have been accidental? Had not prussic acid and strych nine been administered in hospitals by mistake, and ad ministered, too, by persons accustomed to the preparation of drugs, and naturally careful in' the manipulation of them ? Had it not been shown that poison was lying about in the prisoner's house in the most careless manner —put upon moat thrown out in the yard—put upon cheese left on the floor of the wife's bed-room— left on the sink in the kitchen—put on a candlestick left on the mantelshelf in the bed-room of the deceased, and, in fact, lying about in all parts of the house? It was proved that jelly, potted beef, puddings, and other things were left in the bed-room of the deceased, and. it was quite possible that a. portion of this dusty powder (for such was strychnine) might have got mixed by accident with the food of which the de ceased had partaken. This supposition was rendered the more probable by the fact that a little dog which accom panied the woman into the house some days after the death of the deceased picked up something on the floor of the bed-room, which killed it. Mr. Morley, who analysed the contents of the dog's stomach, proved that strychnine was present ; but he also gave his opinion that even if the dog had licked the clot of blood on the floor the quantity of blood was too minute to contain sufficient strychnine to have killed the animal. This cir cumstance went far to watrant.the conclusion that thedog had picked up some particles of the poison on the floor of the bed-room, and that other particles might have found their way into the food or medicine of the deceased. The learned counsel then referred to the symptoms which ac companied the paroxysme, contending that there was no thing to show that the earlier attacks from which the de ceased had suffered were not to be attributed to laysteria— a disease to which it was known that Mrs. Dove was sub ject. He submitted that the cause of death was to be traced to the administration of strychnine on the Satur day, and that there was no evidence to prove that any poi sou haul been taken into the system before that day. It was necessary that the jury should know what was the spirit and meaning of the law with reaped to insanityand mental delus . ons, as the principal element in the defence of the prisoner would he that he was in a state of mind which made him irresponsible for his actions, and that he had not the power of distinguishing between right and wrong. The insanity of the prisoner, as bearing on the probability of accidental poisoning, was most important, fot if it could be shown that there was a sick wife, a change of servants, and a drunken and insane husband., the chances of acci dental poison were greatly increased. But he believed he could show that, putting aside accidental poisoning, there was abundant ground for believing that the prisoner was not an accountable being. Mr. Bliss was about to read the opinions of Dr. Elliotson and others on mental abbera tions, when Mr. Baron Bramwell reminded the learned gentleman that he could not be allowed to read to thojery the opinions of individual a medical men on insanity. The case was to be decided by the evidence laid before the jury, and that only. Mr. Bliss said he only wished to incorporate the opinions of medical jurists into his argument, and that he did not intend to present it to the jury as evidence. He would now proceed to give a sketch of the prisoner's life, and he would show that from the nursery to manhood he was only fit for a lunatic asylum ; and it was a deplorable circumstance that the kindness of friendslad not consigned him to oee of thole institutions. The prisoner, after leaving school was apprenticed to a farmer; he afterwards went to America where he remained. two years, and on his return he took a farm of his own. All those who were associated with him at school, at his apprenticeship, and at his farm, could depose to the wildness and eccentricity of his conduct —his whole character being inconsistent with that of a sensible and intelligent being. While apprenticed to Mr. Frankish, a farmer, near Scarborough, lie rubbed the cows with sul phuric acid, put out the eyes of two cats, rubla d two others with phosphorus, threatened to stab Mrs. Frankish with a carving knife, and associated with the servants instead of with the family. After he went to America the same cotn fslriiethndfisr.e.Oarumhsisloreatduerdn, h a l e a w i natss in nf thehi s a h b a s b u i r t d n i f tie s ae walking about lb hisu t an d co mmitting a great numb er of extravagances, such as o putting the muzzle of a pistol in his mouth, firing at the flame of a candle, leaving his bed •to sleep iu the hayloft, threatening to shoot his father; walking alone aout he fields crying and muttering to himself, declaring b that t he was worth 50,00 a/., riding furiously up and down the roads, roeping green corn, and other absurdities. The bat o fact of his believing that the witness Harrison hail supernatural powers and could control devils was enough to show that he was a madman: A short time after his committal to, York Castle he wrote a letter to the witness Harrison, and con fided it to another prisoner whose term of incarceration had expired. The letter was in the following terms : Dear Sir, —I feel very much pained at finding myself in York Castle a prisoner, particularly as you told me that I should not go to prison, where I will have to remain until the July trials. What is your opinion as to my case? Lot the jury bring it in whatever they please, I am not guilty, Will you tell me distinctly by my nativity what will be the final result of my case ? I have put entire confidence in you; if you can do anything for me, you must. I have never said anything to any one about 457 conversations at any time. I S erge ant Wilkins for my counsel, and Barrett f h n a r y n r y e t l s a i l, i n ed yer. People tell me that your evidence about when I asked. you whether one grain or a grain and a half of. strychnine could be detected in a body, is against me.

' I have seen him and his wife play together like , children. He would take her under his arms, them throw hex over his shoUlders and run up the asltt, and people on the votels shouted after hint. I have seen him cry,..anci have heard him say he was tired of life, and did sot kriow what his wife would make him do. At another time he hid a loaded pistol, andspointett it at me. As *Sem as I entered my cottage I said, Mas ter, what are you going to do ?" Ho said he wcadd blow the place up. I toll him to hush, and sat down near hi in. I wrested the pistol out of his listed ; it we's loaded,, capped, and cocked, and ho ft cquently put it into his moan.% before I got it from him. He had had some liquor then. He some time after , got one of those six-barrelled revolvers ; be • loaded it very often, three barrels with powder and throe with ball. He was not at all times capable of far min;. I have seen him ?cut the apple-trees almost to nieces. i I have seen him pull ptbers up. Ho shifted one twice in :1 month. I have'seen hien for hours together welkiug up asi it down crying. I dill not think he 'was a sound man at all. Vines. . Cross-examined—`'Yes that when he was drii nk ?—I never sew hiin drunk. I said he was not a sound- minded man when sober, He was a fool at times. • Re-examined—When he played with pistols they were loaded and fell cocked, and we thought it slang irons to himself and everyholy else. I never saw any other men behave as he did. William Toinlinson examined—l am a mason's Is tbourer. I was a farm labourer at Whitwells• One day the prisoner came to me, with his shirt and his stockings in hiss hand. .into the field, and said he was going to leave us. Alis wife and sister came into UP) field, and he told us to cover 'him up s with hay., They did net see hire,, and went away. He au irttko home, and..Lfouud him in- the graneryi s covered up with oat sheaves, at the morning. In Jartnary foie - lowing the prisoner told me ha had signed the teetotal pledge, and asked me if cotlee would 110 sic well as ale for drinking n and he - fetched tsvo barrels of ale out, and imapt'teil them down tfhe sink. He did not remain teetotaller long. On one occatiion he sent the boy to Mr. King's, a farmer, for two linseed cakes, and said it would fatten the beast for the market to-morrow. He did, not act as a sonsible man in the management of his crops. Cross-examined—He got drunk ; sometimes , once a month, soinetime3 one a week. He dii not say that he had had a quarrel with his wife when he came into the field. When sober he talkskilike other men. Re . -e samined—He was sober when he came into the field, and when he emptied the beer barrels, and perfectly sober when he sent for the linseed cakes. By his Loidship—He did not talk reasonably, like other men, in his farming. Emma Spencer examined—l was in the prisoner's service in Dec:, 1853, As his housemaid. He used to carry his wife down stairs in the morning on his back, and serve her with food like a child. On one occasion Mrs. Dove bad been to Leeds, when she ran into the room crying " Oh mother ! oh mother !" and fell in a hysteric fit. He came with a pistol. He said to me, "Now, Emma, we are going all into eternity tonight. i have three balls, one for each, but I will not hurt you." He fired off his pietol, and then loaded it again, and kept putting it in his mouth, and I thought he would blow it down his throat. On another ni g ht he said be would blew Mrs. Dove's brains out and mine if we stirred. He said, " Where's your Mother" to Mrs. Dove. I went for her, and see wanted me to -go 'first: . She said she was ready, to die. I said I was not ; and when Mrs. Jenkins went in she ran cut directly vnth Mrs. Dove, and I , ran away with them to the brewhouse. He then kept firing his pistol and. muttering to himself in the kitchen. He then sent for more powder to 'Mr. King. Ile then took the matches, and said he would go and set all the buildings on fire. Mrs. Dora said to me, " You had better takb your clothes out." She never went to bed that night. He used to help his wife to cook. I assure you I was frightened of the man. I did not .. think he was right in his head, and I don't think he is yet. Mrs; Dove was a very jealosis wornan,aud tried to drive him. She was a bad- 'un„ and was. always upbraiding him about some Emma, and at first I thought it was myself till I got into it. E mm a Wilkinson examined -4 a m n ow in the service of Mr. Watson, Melbourne -place, Bradford. I was in the pri soner's service three weeks before the prisoner was married, and six months after. I had frequent opportunities of ob serving his conduct. He did not appear to me to behave like a reasonable man. He several times got up in the mid dle of the night, and would return next morning ; he was sober at these times. Cress-examinee—Sometimes he said he was going to Leeds. Re-examined—Sometimes it was 12 o'clock, and sometimes 2 in the morning. Annie Wilson examined—l went to live as servant at Whit Well Vtrm in 1853, and lived there five months. Mrs. Dove very often had hysterical fits, and very often I heard her scolding him, and he used to go into the fields and cry like; a' man not right in his mind. He was sober. He be haved very kindly to her while I was there. He used to carry her aboet in his arms. • Cross examined—He cried like an unsound man. I have never seen au unsound man cry. He cried like a man that was not right. Re-examined—l never saw any other man cry like him. By his Lordship—He was very queer in his mind, some times to me. Mrs. Dove was the cause of it, I believe.. •She used to treat him like a beast sometimes. Called him a fool, and said he was in liquor when he had had none. He used to go out and wander in the fields. He used to jump over the hedges on horseback. Joseph Abbott examined --I am a schaolmaster and brewer at Normanton. The first time I met the prisoner he told me he had some black potatoes. I disputed it, and said I never heard of such things. Before I had been three minutes in his company I formed an opinion of the state of his mind, anct every time I met hint only confirmed this impression. He never acted as a rational and prudent man: He spoke of his riches, and wanted me to make his will, and I refused. Ho wanted me to leave the whole t 3 Mrs. Dove, or her friends— to her at long as she lived. I had on that occasion a glass 6f - spirits and water with hint. I,left the room for a minute, and when I returned I heard a noise which made me think he was drinking out of the bottle. My opinion was he had not -the common prudence of ordinary men. . Cross-examined by Mr. Overen d—You never saw black 77- potatoes?—No. - Mr. Overend—Then inform yourself. I haVe often seen them. William Watson examined -I am postmaster at Wood house. The prisoner introduced himself to me and said ho was a root-grown Methodist. My acquaintande continued nine months. He came to the class meetings', I thought there was considerable deficiency of intellect in him. I did not think him perfectly sane. On one occasion at meeting he began to say he was worth 5,0001. and lie would make it 20,0001. before he died. I said, " I wish you may get it." He ceased to come and assigned noises in his dwelling-house for ceasing to come. He said there were noises, and ho got up at nights in pursuit of those noises, and ho considered it was not right to leave his wife and servant to be annoyed by those noises. Cross-examined—There was a great deal of sillinesss about him. The Rev, J. Woolmsr—l came from London. In Septem ber, 1852, I was minister at Leeds, on the Wesleyan circuit. I visited the prisoner's father. On one occasion I found the family in great alarm. The prisoner was on the premises with a loaded pistol, and had threatened the life of his father or mother, and said lie ' would destroy himself. I went in search of him, and found him at the house of a cottager. He there declared he would kill himself or his father or mother, and the poor family were much distressed. I sent for the police. I saw him several times. The impression on my mind by that wicked act confirmed a prior impression that he was nit a mau of sound mind, Ido not mean a man who had, no control over himself, but not safe, to be at large. I thought him defective in intellect. He seemed to have no power to continue a conversation, and was restless without apparent reason. ' (`rose-examined—This occurrence with the pistol was in August, 1854 1 ' I did not notice that he was drunk ; but they told me in tl.e boast: that he was the worse for liquor. Sarah Furness examined—l live at Woodhouse. Mr. and Mrs. Dove lived next door for nine months, and I bad fre quent opportunities of seeing him. Ido not think lie was of sound mind all the time he was at Woodhouw. Once he came and said he had had a lark with some cows, and put vitriol on their backs and cut off their tails to see how they would run. I heard him once say he would break the piano in pieces. He fired the gun at my door twice one Sunday night when a preaching was going on. I have seen him wheel Mrs. Dove in the wheelbarrow up the garth. The Court then adjourned at 7 o'clock. - [PRICE 4D. STAMPED or lemon juice, that will net show it until it is held to the fire. When you write, do not say that you have heard from me, as I have biihed 'a, personlohring this out of the pris on. Do not say anything about this letter, but say will I get off in July, and if so, tell me who will'bo' my next wife. I will call upon you for all Particulars. — Yours , W. Dews. He ale° wrote'a letter to the schoolmaster of the prison as follows : Dear Sir,—l sin very uneasy about a rumour said to be very prevalent respecting me with the public at Leeds and its neighbourhood, liat I, William Dove, am, or pretend to be, insane. That same talk gives me' great pain, • I hope my conduct while in this prison will prove the contrary. I hope you can and will testify as te . my past conduct. The talk of the Queen's pleasure, which is talked of, I cannot away with it (cannot boar it), particularly so when I know thatl am an innocent man, and not guilty of the crime laid to my charge. Dear sir, what would you advise ? I ,ask you as a friend would you allow them to plead insanity ?—Yours, W. Dove. Another communication was found on the prisoner, which would be now read ; and, after the jury had heard it, he (the learned counsel) would leave it to theta to say whether the author of such a communication was a man who ought to be hung ,in York Castle for murder. The letter was found concealed in the lining of the prisoner's waistcoat. It was addreised to the devil, and was written in the prisoner's blood. Dear Devil,—lf you will get me clear at the assizes, and let me have the enjoyment of life, health, wealth, tobacco, beer, more food and better, and my wishes granted, and let me live till I eta 60, come to me to night and tell me.— To the Devil. ' " Your faithful subject, W. Dove. Witnesses were then called tor the defence. The Rev. G. H. Jenkins, the brother of the prisoner's wife, deposed that he resided in the Presidency of Madras, and had come home in consequence of this trial. He know nothing of the prisoner before :he married his sister, but was often disgusted with his unaccountable conduct' towards his sister. His conduct towards her was some times intensely and foolishly , affectionate. The prisoner had often tol him wild, rambling , a nd e l a x t r avagant stories about the pr uce of hisTarm and other matt e rs . Alwa y s cnnsidered t e_prisoner to be of unsound mind, and not an accountable being.. Mr.Cha7vlee - Hannier examined—l was S gaishut teankse at Mr. Hiley's school, at Leeds; in 1839. The prisonervi six hours a day under my instruction, and I regarded him, asa youth of a low order of intellect. To additioTi t e great imbecility of mind he evinced much want of moral power to resist evil and immoral propensities. 'He had a pistol at school, which I took from him and brought to his father. I was told that the prisoner 'intended to shoot his father the following morning as he came down to breakfast. Mr. Dove seemed greatly shocked, and said ho would give the boy a good flogging. Sip opinion is, that the boy was of an unsound mend, and had decided tendency to insanity. He was always at the bottom of his class, and was very often corrected, but it had no effect upon him. Cross-examined—l did not tell the prisoner's father that he ought not to flog a boy that was out of his mind. He was flogged at school for incapacity. (Laughter.) I never ordered hiM to be flogged that I remember. I never heard of the prisoner since he left our school until I saw his name in the papers. Mr. R. 'Vey examined—l keep a large boarding school at Thorp Arch, near York. I formerly kept a school at Leeds, and the prisoner was one of my pupils. He was not a teachable boy, but was fond of mischief for mischief's sake. I 4 once formed the opinion that he was " not there" (a provincial expression for not right in his mind). I often punished him, but he never took it well. He was once charged with stealing and selling some of his sister's drawings. : He denied it, alleging that he had made the drawings himself. I found out that this was a f Asehood by asking hini to copy one of the drawing. He was punished for this offfince, and I called on his father and told him it was a case for expnision, and lee was expelled. I always considered; he laboured under an aberration of intellect. Cross-examined—l have no recol lection of the number of strokes which I used to give the prisoner, but I know he was neverpunished beyond his deserts. - • By the Judge—There was a low cunning about the boy characteristic of his mind. I think he would have done his mischief openly if so minded. ' . • Rev. J. Manners, formerly princip al of the Wesley Col lege, Leeds, examined — The prison er was a -pupil there about a year in 1810 ; he was exceedingly foolish—more of the animal than the rational creature. He would put on a vacant stare when he was punished, as though it was of very little consequence. Witness's department was the mathematical an,l classical ; others attended to the spiri tual. The impression on witness's mind when Dove was at the school was that there was something, strange, unac countable, and different in him from other boys. Cross-examined—At that time 150 pupils were at the school, perhaps; witness flogged him. He learnt same thing of Latin, drawing, and perhaps chemistry. Mr. Frankish, a farmer at Sherhurn, near Scarborough-- He took the prisoner when he was 15 years of age to teach him farming. He was five years with witness. His opinion of witness, from what he knew of him then, was that Dove at certain seasons was not of a sound state of mind. Dove put oil of vitriol on witness's cows and calves, which he first denied and afterwards confessed to having done. One calf was not buint. He said he did not do the same to it because it was a favourite with him. On one occasion the servant came in frightened very much. Witness learnt that prisonerhad burnt the eyes of cats with vitriol. They had escaped. I When witness got into the ki tchen some wa gg on covers ere burnt by the prisoner , and in the water-trough the prig nor had put some vitriol, which he c onfessed to afterwa de. He tied a rope to one cow' s le g and hoisted up the leg f the cow over the beam. He A lso tied the tails of two owe together. On one occ a s i o n the p risoner set fire to the ,grass and burnt a fende for ab out 50 eetrcls. He left when 20 years of age. -Saw after his return from Canadal when- ho told me about a tribe of Red Indians and a bear. He' said he had been in a prairie which was on fire. He lied gone on and lighted the pe.rt before by moans of a heifer match, whereby the fire went on before him, he followed, and so escaped that behind. Prisoner and his wife were at witness's house immediately after their marriage. He asked his wife to play a tune. She di , l not play, and he got out of temper and went upstairs and locked himself in, and ho only eventually opened the door after an altercation. N -xt morning be apologised ; and he was soon seen having Mrs, Wood in his arms and very fondling. ' When learning farming, which he could not learn, he associated with the servants and made them his equals. Oa one occasion my wife chided him, and he took out a knife to her, and said, "Mrs. Frankish, you may think yourself well off you have a husband this morning ;' and he said he had bought the kniee to destroy witness. Cross-examined—He brought the oil of vitriol with him. Afteriiards it was taken from him. This occurred in the first year. Dove said he was sorry for what he had done. It was phosphorus he put on the cats to make them look bright, and then turned them into Vise kitchen to frighten the maids. Prisoner smoked, but not in witness's presence. He grew more crafty and cunning after he came ; he was anything but a clever boy. Re-examined.—Spoke to Dove abent burning the hedge. He did not deny that he had done it designedly. He knew sowing from reaping, ploughing from harrowing, but very little more after his five years' residence. By the Judge.Ho never could understand the succes sion of crops. He worked as a labouring man, or witness could not have done with him. By a Jarymari.—He made no reply when Mrs. Frankish told witness in prisoner's presence about using the knife. James Rowell, a labourer with Mr. Southwetl, a farmer, and formerly a servant to the late witness, recollected pri soner telling witness he made a nick in the trough and let the water out the wrong way. Dove came in on one occa sion with a pitchfork, with which he would have hit wit ness if witness had not got out of the way. One Thursday he said his father was coming the next day. Witness said, " They are coming in the flour waggon.' " Are they ?" Dove replied, "If I had a gun in my hand I would have shot you!" Rev. William Lord, examined by Sergeant Wilkinel —ls governor of the Woodhouse-grove School at Leeds. Connected with the Wesleyan Methodists. Has known prisoner 1+ years, and was very intimate with his father. Had Dove in witness's study to give him religious instruc tion ; could make no impression on him, and found that he was not at all capable of appreciating what was said, and could get no rational answer from him. Gave Dave's father advice about his sou. At that time the prisoner was trot capable of disposing rationally of property. tie should say that prisoner was not of sound mind. Cross-examined.—He knew Mr. Jenkins 12 months after prisoner's marriage. Mr. Jenkins was an excellent man ; he knew not of prisoner paying his addresses to his wife until a few weeks after he had been accepted. Cautioned Mr. Jenkins that the character of Dove ought to beinquired into. Cannot give any particular instance in which he was irrational. He was not able to follow out a subject to its results. His conduct was such that he could not visit us without mortifying us by his conversation and his poverty of intellect. I talked with Dove after his return from America. Re-examined—On all topics he manifested a want of reason. By the Judge—Witness talked to Dove about his jour ney to Canada. ,Was not satisfied with the account he gave. Never told witness about the prairies, as he h ad never been where they were. Prisoner knew witness had been in Canada. Found the same irrationality on his return as before • rather more. Dove went out alone to Canada. Matthew Cooper examined—l know all about the cats and other stories. Mrs. Frankish told him to take a gun to shoot crows. I took it to him ; he said " Very well ; you can set it down there." I took the gun, and fired it at some crows, and it burst. He had loaded it, and he said o .n n o a tT t 1. i th i a: think kG prisoner's i h b i s al o Gibson ve very ra z yt m hr e i i n :b p r e d t — .4u l els a t m teadu a farmergmhet toh u u.take k a teHh practicallyi m a d aftering - he put a strong quantity in it. He never learned anything at the farm. Heading hall. he left Mr. Frankish. He stopped 'sal). me 12 months. I as a farmer—l tried. to teach him. I was not so successful as I should like. I provided him with pocket-money at his father's expense—about 9d. a-week. He was then, turned 21. On his return from America I took Whitwell farm for him in his father's name. The prisoner entered upon it. I managed it for him. The prisoner did not farm it exactly as he ought. James Shawn examined—l am a farmer at Aberford. In 1352 I went to live with the prisoner at-Whitwell as his servant. Old Mr. Dove engaged me. I was there about 9 months. I remember a tramp coming there while the family were at prayers. He said the door was to be opened and she was to come in, and she stopped while we were at rth theer there gun,er were two loadedme n a i b t o . u a t n t d h w e e i n w t e o m u i t s . e s , We and ds saw prayers. Sho stopped that night. The prisoner went out , and asked s a i f t o i no men. He said he would shoot them if he saw them. The gun was cocked, and I was alarmed at his conduit. Ho repeatedly did the same thing on other occasions, carry ing his gun cocked in a careless manner. W hen Ann Gray, a charwouia,n was there he put a cap on a pisto l and fired it off in 'her ear. On one occasi on ho rode out and came ,home at a gallop, and I s aid. " Here is my master coming more like a man ou t of his mind than anything." He galloped right into ape , n 1 when the horse was all in a lather. I told him he should not do so. lie said it would do the horse no harm, for it was married, and warm and the water was cold.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Medicine always aggravates chronic dis eases, such as dyspepsia (indigestion), flatulency, habitual con stipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, &c., but Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabi ca Food invariably cures them in a very short time. Wo extract two out of many thousand expressions of gratitude from invalids :—From the Dowager Countess of Castlestuart. Cure 52,612.—Bosstrevor, County of Down, Ireland, December 9, 1554.
