SCULPTURE, a Porm, 'Which obtained the (211AYCE LOWS MEDAL at the CAM- BRIDGE COMMENCEMENT, Jtl)3 , 189.5. By E. G. LYTTON BULWER, Fellow-Commoner of Trinity ILII. • Marmoris aut eboris fabros aut :eris arnavi— lionAT. lip. Lib. n. i. 9. The winds were hush'il on Pindus—and the day Balm'd by a thousand sweets, had died away— The wave beneath, the l aure l on the hill Bask'd in the heaven's blue beauty—and were still:— Pomp—Silence-Night were reigning on the earth, Nymph, whom my rud e verse worships, at thy birth ! The Muses reset! thee in their starry caves,— Lav'd thy fair limbs beneath their holiest waves,— And taught the wild soul speaking from thine eye To quaff the light of genius from the sky. There, by lone mount, and vale, and deep-brow'd dell, There, by the bee-lov'd flow'rs, and mossy cell, — There, by the glories of the summer noon, And the sweet sadness of the midnight moon— Thy Spirit stor'd within its still recess The myriad forms of Nature's loveliness;— The grand—the soft—the lofty and the fair Woo'd thy warm thoughts—and made their dwelling there. 'Tis said—what minstrel doubts the legend's truth ? The day-god lov'd thee from thine earliest youth, And pour'd around the musings of thy heart The shadowy splendours of his holiest art-.. To substance fix'd the bright thoughts all his own, And breath'd the life of Poesy to stone. Inspiring visions rose at midnight's hour, Wild shapes of Beauty throng'd thy haunted bower. Till o'er thy mind creative Genius grew— And the hand sculptur'd what the fancy drew, Nymph of old Castaly ! thou lov'st to keep Thy moon-lit vigils where the mighty sleep : O'er the dim tomb to hold thy silent sway, And rear thy marble triumphs o'er decay. "Pis thine to fix thro' ages fresh and warm, The frail perfection of the fading form ; And though no more by cool Cephisus' stream (1) The Queen of Beauty haunts the minstrel's dream— Though now no more on Tempe's classic vale Apollo's locks win worship from the gale, Yet still thy spells preserve them to the eye,-- Chain to the earth the bright forms of the sky,— And raise high spirits from the mine and ore That crowds may gaze,—and Genius may adore ! - To thee, where (d llyssus roves along The olive banks, all eloquent with song, The bright Athenian bent his thou g htf u l brow, Breath'd his young thoughts, and pour'd his lonely vow. And the far Isle of Roses (2) o'er the sea Rear'd her world's wonder as a shrine for thee— Where is that vast Colossus, which bestrode The free waves like Ambition ?—while they How'd Hushing their wrath like slaves—as through yon arch Fraught with earth's wealth, the proud barks went their march ? Where is that brazen pomp was wont to throw Back on the Sun the glory of his glow— And seem'd the Genius of that daring clime, Dazzling all eyes, and torm'd for every time— Earth at its feet, and Heaven upon its brow— Symbol of Greece,—and art thou nothing now ! Enough !—on forms unwreck'd b e n ea th th e bl ast Or blight of ages, be our wonder cast— Is it a Goddess ? lo ! I bend the knee, Dream of Heaven's beauty ! let me worship thee Thou art indeed too lovely for the earth As earth is now—thy charms are of the birth Of her first mom—when ev'ry flow'r was trod And every fount was hallow'd by its god— And brighter beings wander'd from above To win the treasure of a mortal's love. Oh ! o'er the sculptor'd spirit pour'd each ray Which memory hoarded of that golden day,— Each thought of grace, or goddess lingering still By silver stream, or Oread-haunted All which the soul deeins bright, or passion dear— When his wild fancy turn'd—and fix'd them here ! Oft at deep noon—what time the wearied gale Slept on the violets—while the shad'wy vale, The fairy music of the wood-bird's lay, The glad bee murmuring on his perfum'd way, The green leaves laughing in the quiv'ring beams, Lull'd the luxurious spirit in wild dreams. Oft bath the marvel of thy beauty stole Sweet shape, along the visions of my soul ! Ev'n as when young Adonis wood thy vow.— Ev'n as thou glowest from the marble row,— Ev'n as thou stood'st 'mid vanquish'd gods above, In breathing, palpable, embodied love. Terrible ! mark and tremble !—fold by fold See round the writhing'sire (3) th' enormous serpent's roll'd ; Mark the stern pang—the clench'd despairing clasp-- The wild limbs struggling with that fatal grasp— The deep convulsion of the labouring breath— Th' intense and gathering agony of death.— Yet 'mid the mortal's suffering still is view'd The haughty spirit shaken—not subdu'd Tho' nature faint, tho' every fibre burst, Scath'il—stifled—crush'd—let vengeance wreak its worst; Fate—terror—hell—let loose your powers of ill, Wring the wrack'd form—the soul can scorn you still. Nymph of my song ! I turn my glance, and lo! The Archer-god speeds vengeance from his bow.— Not, as when oft, amid his Delian glade, The Lord of Beauty knelt to mortal maid, Not as when winds are husli'd—and waves lay mute Listing, and lull'd beneath, his silver lute, — But like the terrors of an angry sky Clouds on his brow, and lightning in his eye. The foot advanc'd—the haughty lips apart— The voice just issuing from the swelling heart— The breathing scorn—Yet 'mid that scorn appear No earthlier passions mix'd with human fear ; The god speaks from the marble not the less Than when heaven brightens with his loveliness, And o'er each limb th' enamour'd Graces play, Leave wreath its' pride, but still it's gloom away. Yes, at those feet, the bard of Isis sung, (4) Oft in deep love the maiden's form was flung, And her soul fed on passion, till her thought Maddened beneath the anguish it had sought, And health with hope departed—and the flush Of fever deepened o'er youth's purer blush— Grief's canker prey'd upon her withering bloom, And love's wild vision woke but in the tomb.— Ev'n thus of old the Cyprian sculptor (5) view'd The star-like form which blest his solitude— From earth, and earthly beauty he had flown, And grav'd a dream of loveliness on stone ; And made a temple of his beating heart, To worship the perfection of his art. — And aye he knelt adoring—none were near Th' empassion'd homage of his vows to hear. The unpeopled forest, and the mumfring wave— The shad'wy twilight of his lonely cave,— The mystic language of the rushing wind— Nurs'd the voluptuous madness of his mind. He rain'd warm kisses on th' unconscious face,— Woo'd the mute marble to his wild embrace,— Gaz'd till the cell swam round his reeling eyes,— And the chill air was burning with his sighs,— Hung on that lip, alas ! so vainly fair— And breath'd at last his very being there. O'er the cold cheek rose I'assion's blushing hue— Slowly to life, the kindling statue grew, Caught the warm spirit from his soul's excess, And breath'd and mov'd in living loveliness. Years have roll'd on, alas ! no longer now Round Hells's sword blooms Freedom's myrtle bough, There, 'mid the gorgeous piles which "still proclaim Unchanged—the changes of her fallen fame, Smit by the bolt, and bow'd beneath the blast Of fate,—she sits—the spectre of the past.— Yet still the warm Italian loves her lore, Gleans the rich harvest from each haunted shore. O'er his rude harp the Roman minstrel flings Flowers from her wreath, and music from her strings ; And from his native banks to Tiber's tide Th' Athenian sculptor watts the Pariah pride Glows the live statue, and the polish'd dome, And Greece hath found a second birth in Rome. Still the ycung Faun amid the wild flowers sleeps-_ Still his carousal hoar Silenus keeps— And still Diana's beauty glows as dear, As when Endymion lur d her from her sphere. Still unsubdu'd amid the wrecks of years Her lofty spear Athenian Pallas rears,— And still—tho' thunder waits not on his nod, Thron'd in his grandeur sits the imperial God.

I Still in mad mirth the Bacchanalian throng Weave the wild dance, and raise the frantic song— And calm in stern repose—(his labours done) Stands, like a sleeping storm, Alcumna's son. Behold where in his tterv'd and naked might Rushes the Circus Champion to the fight— Stretches the gaunt arm in its sweeping length— Starts from each limb the eloquence of strength— On the bent brow Pride, Power, and Conquest reign, From the curv'd lip the spirit breathes disdain— And all the savage in his sternest mood Speaks front the form unawed and unsubdued ! Where mid yon puny race of courts can be Son of the woods ! the champion meet for thee ! The strife is o'er—ev'n as a broken bow Nerveless and spent—the Terrible lies low ! Ile leans upon his hand—the lion crest Bows to the dust—and front the untam'd breast Fails drop by drop life's tide—the eye is dim, And o'er the buckler droops the giant limb— And Death is on the Mighty !—aye thou proud And guilty city ! let thy ruthless crowd Pour o'er their prey the mock'ry of their mirth, Blood with those echoes calls forth from the earth. — And Heaven full soon shall answer.—Hurrying forth Sweeps on dark wings the whirlwind of the North— Hush—it bath past !—by Tiber's glassy wave Crouches—where Brutus—trod yon supple slave ! Where the voluptuous Cmsars held their sway Coucit'd with the Vandal, saddens stern Decay, Where in those halls, Harmonia wak'd her strings, Hark the harsh sound of Gothic revel rings, And o'er the pillar'd pomp and trophiel arch Gaunt Havock speeds her desolating March. But from the midnight of Time's dullest dream Be our's to - wake, and hail the earliest beam,_ Ages have past—a star is in the skies_ The clouds are rent,—and light and Leo rise. See, front each crumbling stone and mouldering bust Admiring Genius clears th' unhallow'd dust The buried pomp of years awakes once more The solemn Earth gives up her silent store— And the world's second morning pours it's rays Bright as of old, on Michael's eagle gaze Approach and reverence, stranger! calm and lone The Prophet Chief (6) claims homage from his throne, Front that broad brow, clos'd lip, and marble cheek, And high repose, no human passions speak— But power and majesty, august and proud Brood o'er the awful image,—like a cloud ! And iu the lines of that unearthly face The eye of fancy in it's gaze might trace Deep visions of the Future—the sublime And mystic secrets of primceval time— And the rapt holiness of him who heard Thro' flame and darkness God's Eternal Word ! There the young shepherd (7) stands, as when he trod The earth, exulting in the might of God.— Seorn'd the strong armour, and the giant limb— • And knew the Lord of floats was over him ! Round his light form no*sheltering garments cling, Ile wields no weapon but the simple sling, Yet in the advancing step—the lofty mien— The calm stern front—the undaunted soul is seen.i. 'rho' armies shrink around him ;—tho' the brave Doom in sad thought his rashness to the grave— God, who preserv'd him from the Lion (8), here Is not less mighty—wherefore should he fear ? Alas for nations !—while we gaze, the spark Of kindling light expires—and we are dark— E'en while the gladd'ning minstrel turns to bless This Tadmor smiling thro' Time's wilderness— The brief and lonely incense of his breath But wakes—likes Nero's music—amid death. Again long years !—from Superstition's chain And the dull torpor of her gloomy reign .'Thou wakest Rome !—like Rhesus, but to feel Deep in thy heart, the foeman's fatal steel ! Scorning thy pride, and scoffing at thy faith, Sweeps the fierce Gaul to slaughter and to scathe— And darkly brooding o'er thy vanquisli'd wall Thy rebel Eagles triumph in thy fall. Pass we with one brief curse, from Glory's toil, The strife, the rout, the conquest and the spoil ; Let thrones arise and crumble at a breath, And man exult in shackles or in death— These are no fitting subjects for my lay,— To colder climes, we wing our wandering way— And turn where glows in yonder gorgeous dome, The Parian pomp of Hellas, and of Rome. (9) Proud plumes are waving in the silent air, The warriors of the earth are gather'd there—. Fair Britain's sons—the fearless and the free ; Romantic Spain, thy haughty chivalry;— And - that old warlike race, for whom the pride Of the blue Danube rolls it's lordly tide. Hush'd the vain taunt, and aw'd th exulting eye, Silently stalks the vengeful Prussian by— While in rude contrast to the stately crest The dazzling crosslet, and the glittering vest, With rugged garb, and wondennglooks, pass on The stern and simple wand'rers from the Don. But oft like clouds amid that gorgeous throng Dark angry forms sweep low'ringly along. Not theirs the rapt delight—the soul's deep trance— Grief wrings the heart, and passion fires the glance, Anti ever trom the writhing lip, the wrath Of fierce and struggling spirits flashes forth. The mutter'd vengeance, and the scornful jest— 'The pent Volcano of the lab'ring breast—. Th' unconquer'd hatred of the powerless will, That bitter comfort of the Conquer'd still ! But ye, upon whose marble brows serene Ages of night in clouds and storms have been, And pass'd like vapours from the morning star, Hall'wing the beauty which they could not mar. Ye, mid the littleness of human life, The fading triumph, and the empty strife, • Calm in your lofty grandeur glance below Unmov'd by passions which ye never kn0w,..... While Empires fall around you,—ye retain, Gods of the mind, your everlasting reign ! And changeless in your power, behold the tide Of fate, but bear fresh homage to your pride. Lo ! as of old ye stand ! the deep bine sky Of Rome again hangs o'er you, and the eye Which hails you in your native seats enshrin'd Gleans from all round meet moral for the mind. Yes, there from every clime shall Genius bring The vows and incense of her earliest spring ; And to those fanes the Pilgrim still shall roam, And ScuLPTURE find her altar and her home,— Warm'd into life beneath these genial skies, Round the far Dane (10) what fair creations rise. Here when the moon-light o'er those myrtle groves Flings its pale beam, the German Wand'rer (11) roves, And hears rich visions home, to gild the cell Where, lone and musing, Fancy loves to dwell— The bright Enthusiast of the Isle, shall trace In colder climes each well-remember'd grace; Recall and rival all that Greece bath known, And wake, like CHANT REV, Eloquence from stone. And there fair land ! thine own CANOVA still Rears o'er thy woes the triumphs of his skill ; Charming the Gods again to haunt the Earth, And waking Beauty to second birth. Though fair the way the Pilgrim may have past, Turns he not home exultingly at last ? And though in climes to Muse and Memory dear My soul is ling'ring—l recall it herc— Lo! where through cloister'd aisles, the soften'd day Throws o'er the form a " dim religious" ray. In graven pomp and marble majesty Stands the immortal Wand'rer of the sky (12) — The sage, who borne on Thought's sublimest car, Track'd the vague Moon, and read the mystic Star.— Sway'd from the planet, or the desert cloud, To him the Spirits of the Night were bow'd— Hoar Time reveal'd his marvels—Nature drew Her secret veil from his undazzled view—. For him, her glowing depths had solemn speech,— And myriad worlds—life—glory—GoD in each, Hymning high joy through Heaven's eternal dome, Blaz'd from the darkness round Jehovah's Home? Mark ye—how well the kindling Sculptor took The sweeping robe—the majesty of look— And o'er each feature's lofty beauty wrought The deep intense pervading soul of thought, Anti that ethereal sunshine which in him Life could not cloud, and Passion could not dim, ' As if the spirit which had wing'd its way Through Heaven had purg'd each earthlier senile away.

Oh, may his influence hallow yet the scene Where once the lustre of his life bath been. And—though perchance in vain, Ambition's toil, Youth's dreaming hope—and Labour's midnight oil, Yet, ere the evil days of strife and sin Have thrown their shadows o'er the light within, Learn we front him that truth least understood, Man is most great while struggling to be good.— My harp's rude notes are dying—all too 'long ; My soul bath pour'd its spirit into son , , And yet I pause—what though the weals I bring Waft no rich incense from the breathing spring. I pause—a Northern Votary's wreath to twine,. Land of the lloman round thy ruin'd shrine • Oh, from thy lore if e'er his mind bath caught For fancy fire, or energy for thought, If from the sculptued form, and sacred strain For him the beauty was not wak'd in vain, Then all ungrateful would the Minstrel be Had not his lyre one parting note for thee ! Oh, as the Image in that fabled scene (13) • In which Leontes mourns his buried Queen, Came froth the dim concealment of long years, (As rainbows shine thro' Nature's clouds and tears) And bright with smiles descended from above Glowing with joy, and redolent of love— Oh, thus from shrouded pomp, and silence deep, Where Memory sits to ponder, and to weep— Italia wake ! the hues of life resume—., And smile away the terrors of the tomb.

The object of the Institution is stated to be to bring the means of a complete scientific anti literary education home to the doors of the inhabitants of the metropolis, so that they may be enabled to educate their sons at a very moderate ex pence, and under their own immediate and constant superin tendence. It is known that a young man cannot be main tained and instructed at Oxford or Cambridge under 2001. or 25'V. a-year, while the expences of many far exceed this sum ; and thf! vacations last about five months in the year. The whole expence of education at the London University will not exceed 2bl. or 301. a-year*, including the sums paid to the goeral fund ; and there will not be more than ten weeks of vacation in the year.—A suitable piece of ground for the built.L ings and walks, and in a central situation, is now in treaty for ; and it is expected that the structure will be completed in Au gust, 1826, and the classes opened in October following. A fortnight's vacation will be allowed at Christmas and Easter,. and six weeks from the middle of Aug ust to the end of Septum ber.,-The money being raised by sares and contributions, each holder of a 1001. share will receive interest on the same, at a rate not exceeding four per cent., payable half-yearly, and be entitled to send one student to the University. The shares will, be transferable by sale and bequest ; and they will descend to the holder's representatives in case of intestacy. The money due on them will he paid by instalments, as it may be required; but it is calculated that only two-thirds will be called for; and the remaining 33 per cent. will be considered as a fund of reserve, in case of any extension of the plan, or other unfavourable ex igencies. No person can hold more than ten shares. Each contributor of 501. will have all the privileges of shareholders during his life, except that of receiving interest, and tranfering his rights The interest will be paid out of the revenues of the Institution, and the yearly produce of the sums received from time to time beyond what is required for current expences. This supposes a Student to attend five or six of the general classes ; but the medical education is necessarily more expen sive, from the costs of the anatomical department. THE DUEL ON TUESDAY LAST.—The gentle man (Colonel R.) who received the ball of his an tagonist on Tuesday, still remains at the Red Lion, Highgate. He was yesterday visited by Mr. Bransby Cooper, nephew of Sir Astley Cooper, but we believe the ball is not yet ex tracted, and that he remains in some danger.— Mr. Snow, the surgeon who first saw him, is in constant attendance upon him, and was with him at a late hour last night. His own friends and domestics attend him. The place • where the parties met was in Highgate Wood, between the old' turnpike on the new road and the Wellington, at a spot celebrated for pigeon-shooting matches. Messrs.

Brown and Son, of Great Titchfied-street, who was carelessly riding upon the shafts of a cart heavily laden with lead, from which he was thrown by a sudden jerk, when the w h ee ls of the v 'ucle instantly passed over his leg and arm, which were dreadfully fractured—the leg indeed was so much lacerated, as to be nearly severed from his body. The poor man was placed on a shutter, and was instantly carried in the most hopeless condition to the Middlesex Hospital, where the most prompt assistance was rendered him.

An Inquest was held yesterday, at the Lamb public-house, New Turnstile, High Holborn, on the body of Mary Welch, whom it is alleged was murdered by her husband, and a female named Lyons, whose examination at Marlborough street has been already reported. J. Kenedy, a publican, stated that on Sunday last he heard the deceased was about to be buried, and he went to the lodg ing of her husband, and saw the corpse ' • the undertaker was about to fasten down the coffin lid; he said the body should not be buried till it had been examined ; he examined the head of the deceased, and accidentally thrust his fingers into the back of it. and they came out covered with gore. He held up his fingers and shewed them to all present, and declared that the funeral should not take place, as he suspected something fOul had caused her death.. Welch came up stairs, and asked him why he made himself so busy ; and stated that the. deceased fell down stairs on the preceding Sunday, and cut her head open. He (witness) did not know thedeceaied was the Wife of Welch, till after the discovery of the wound, and he instantly informed the beadles of St. Giles's parish. Mr. Tweddale, a surgeon, stated, that he examined the head of the deceased, after the wound was discovered by the first witness, on Sunday night last, and he found a cut of about an inch and half in depth, and a very extensive fracture on the cranium. Ile was of opinion a person could not survive forty eight hours with such injuries. Mrs. Donovan sworn.—She knew the deceased, and on hear. ing of her death, went to lay out the body. She saw the prisoner Welch, who informed her that Lyons, the female prisoner, would .wash the body. She told him that she would assist her, but he objected. While she was washing the corpse, Lyons kept her hand near the . bead of the deceased, to conceal it; and told her she had no occasion to wash the head and neck.— She insisted upon washing the near, and discovered a wound on the back of the head ; she instantly informed the searchers, who g ave notice of the circumstance to the beadles of the parish. Mrs. Corkran (an unwilling witness) stated that she knew the deceased, who had been ill for two months ; she called on her on Tuesday week, and found her in bed, and speechless ; on Friday she appeared to be dying, and she remained with her till she expired. Welch said her death was caused by her fail ing down stairs on the preceding Sunday. Stacke sworn.—He saw the prisoner Welch a short time ago, and he said that the prisoner Ellen Lyons, his cousin, was pregnant by him, and when his sister (meaning the deceased, whom witness did not know to be Welch's wife) died, he VOUld marry her. A yortng woman, who said she was servant at the Ship Chbp. house, St. Giles's, said that she used to visit the deceased to get the empty pots. On Tuesday week witness went to the deceased's room anti saw her lying in bed ; witness asked the deceased how she did, and she replied, " Very ill indeed," and added, " I have a secret to tell you, but you must not say a word about it." somebody coming up stairs at the time, she said hush, another time." Witness went to her room again on Thursday, and she appeared very ill. Witness went to her room again on Thursday, and she appeared very ill. Witness spoke to Welch afterwards, and he said, " that when his sister (meaning the deceased) died, he would marry his cousin." Mr. Thomas, in whose employ the prisoner Welch has been a short time, stated, that on Friday week the prisoner came to him and asked him what would stop bleeding ; witness said that flour would stop it, - and gave him a spoonful, which he took away, after observing that his sister had scratched or hurt herself. James Hodges sworn. On Monday week the prisoner Welch asked witness to go and see his sister. Welch said, " I suppose you are not afraid to see a corpse." Witness went to his apartment and saw the deceased lying on the bed speech les3 ; she appeared to be in a dying state. Welch said nothing about the deceased having a cut on her head till the Friday she died. Juror : There is 'a female who can state that Weleh said to her, that he must get rid of his sister, as he could not keep two women. A person present observed, that the female alluded to ought not to be examined, because she had said " she should like; Welch to be hanged." •• • Mr. Patesey, surgeon, sworn.—He examined the head of the deceased ; there was a cut an inch and half deep, and a fracture in it; the cut was an incised wound; the injuries he had &- scribed, appeared to him to be the effect of two distinct blows ; the cut, in his opinion, was made by some sharp instrument ; he thought a person with such an injury, though very danger ous, might live 24 hours ; the wounds had not healed in they slightest degree ; these injuries, in his opinion, caused the death' of the deceased. • The Jury expressed a wish to examine the female :pri sorter Lyons, and the following is her statement :—" Is first cousin of the deceased, who had been ill two months. On Sunday week the deceased got out of bed, and put on an old coat, and said she would go to St. Giles's. Witness called Welch, the husband of the deceased, and told him that the de ceased would disgrace them by going out in a state of naked ness, as she wore only a chemise and a coat over it. Welch did not get up, and witness began to cry ; he then got up and went, after the deceased. On his returning to the room, he said that he and the deceased had both fallen down stairs; but he did not say they were hurt. On the following morning witness saw signs of blood on Welch's person when he came to break fast, and she asked him how his wife got hurt. He replied, " I suppose it was when we fell down stairs." Witness was in the same room with the deceased, but she did not speck to her ; she was not in the habit of speaking to the deceased; they were good friends ; witness went out and returned again, and asked the husband if the deceased had spoken to him. He said, yes, she has. He then cut a little hair oft' the head of the de ceased, and having washed the head with milk and water, put a plaister on it. Witness asked him why he did not send for a Doctor ? and he replied, "itisof no consequence." Though the deceased did not expire till the Friday, she did not speak to her once during that week. Witness knew that two women called at the deceased's room on the Tuesday. At that time she knew of the injury on the back of the deceased's head, but she did not tell the women of it. The deceased was light- . headed part of the week, and when the Priest came to see her and prepare her for another world, he said, that if the window were left open, site would jump through it. She did not tell the Priest about the injury nn the head of the deceased. Witness took the cap and handkerchief off the head of the deceased. She could not say what condition they were in at the time. She did not look at them. She put them up in a corner of the room. Witness did not see any flour till the Friday, and then it was sprinkled by a female on the deceased's face. Witness cleaned out the room during the week; but she did not touch the chairs, or scour the floor near the bed. The Jury went to see the apartment in which the deceased expired. It was on a third floor; they examined the stairs, but found no traces of blood marks on them ; the flock bed on which the deceased died, a sack of shavings underneath, and a bed tick were soaked in blood, and there was a stain of gore on the floor underneath, which appeared•to heave run from the bed ; there was also some flour on the floov. The Jury ex pressed an opinion that the deceased must have been in the bed when she received the mortal injury. The Jury having retired to the public house, Mr. Stirling ad dressed them, and adverted to those points of the evidence which seemed to attach suspicion very strong against the pri soner Welch, if it did not also implicate the female, Lyons.— He thought the case ought to undergo further inquiry. The concealment of the injury till the body was about to be interred, and its discovery by mere accident, were, in his opinion, cir cumstances which ought to have due weight in'the minds of the Jury. The Jury consulted fir about an 110f,-and finally returned a Verdict of " Wilful Murder against leW.lch and Lyons." They were committed to Newgate on the Coroner's warrant. CURE FOR THE BITE OF AN ADDEn.--It wilt be found a particularly useful application for dogs, which are often bitten in the sporting season :—Take the leaves, of the bur dock, bruise them well with a hammer or the head of an texe, strain the juice through a linen cloth, rub- the part affected first with the juice, and then with the inside fat of a goose (If Wit cannot be procured lard or sweet oil will do) alternately fork quarter of an hour ; repeat it every three hours until the paui and swelling subside. If the leaves bruised can-be bound on- the wound it will accelerate the cure, which is often effected in two or three days. The remedy should be applied as soon as possible after the infliction of the bite, particularly on dogs, as there are instances where death has ensued a few hours after the infection.
