~: CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. ; open his month and speak ; and later felt quite recovered. He bad no return of the spasm till half-past five the following day. He then asked the nurse to change his linen, and as she was about to do so a violent spasm came on, and he died in a few minutes. About 30 hours elapsed between the last convulsions of which he died and the preceding one. The last paroxysm continued two minutes. The rigidity before that had been completoly relaxed. I gave the patient on the second day a small dose of tartar emetic, containing antimony, which produced vomiting. I increased it in quantity on the third day, but I did not repeat it after that day. Cross-examined by the Attorney-General.—The teta nus arose from a stone falling on the mdddle toe of the patient, cominetely smashing it. The wound had be come very unhealthy. I amputated the remaining part of the toe. When I saw the boy the wound was almost closed. The jaw was closed when I administerbd tartar emetic to him. On the 29th the rigidity relaxed ; the mus cles of the chest, back, and abdomen continued rigid. Dur int, the time there were no convulsions whilst I administered tartar emetic. I have no doubt the rigidity of the muscles of the chest and stomach would go far to prevent sickness. I suppose the boy would have vomited but for the rigidity of the muscles. I expected he would have done so from the large dose I adminis tered. The symptoms began to abate on the 4th day, and gradually subsided for some time. The symptoms were reproduced by the nurse setting the boy up in bed. The cause had not ent!rely gone before that irritation must have been set up in connection with the spinal cord, and the original seat of the wound that produced spasms. Re-examined by Mr. Gray—The causes of irritation producing spasms may be various. Supposing death occurred accompanied with tetanic symptoms, and the medical man had no knowledge of the cause except the irritation of the spinal cord, I think it is extremely difficult—probably impossible—for him to ascribe it to any particular cause. Dr. M'Donald said—l am a licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. I have been in practice for a number of years, and have had cases of traumatic and idiopathic tetanus. I have seen two cases of idiopathic. I have also made experiments. Tetanus will proceed from slight causes. Any internal altera tion of the secretions will produce it. Exposure to cold would produce it. Mental excitement will also cause tetanic convulsions. Sensual excitement will produce tetanus. Graeules in any part of the body connected with the nervous structure might produce it. Tetanic causes are produced by means yet undiscoverable by human science. There is same obscurity about the disease. Many post mortem examinations have taken place in cases of death by tetanus, and no cause of disease has been discovered. Strvchuia is easily discoverable. In the case of Catherine Watson I was fortunate to cure her, and she is at present in court. [The witness here read the minutes of the case which he had made at the time]. In that case there was a lock-jaw ; it oc curred about the middle of the attack, but she was able to speak. In acute idiopathic cases it is a late symptom. I have had a patient, named Copeland, who had been attacked with idiopathic tetanus under my care ; there was no external cause. Death took place in somewhat less than half an hour. I have made a number of experiments on animals with respect to estrychuia poisons, and Lave found the post mortem examinations very generally to concur. The membranes of the brain are highly congested, the sinus gorged with blood, and in one case I had hemorrhage from the nostril. I has e out through the substance of the brain and found nu merous red spots ; these aro the general results. Toe lungs of those animals had been either collapsed or con geeted, the heart invariably filled on the right side and very often on the left. The liver has been congested and the kidneys normal ; the spleen in a natural condition. The vessels •of the stomach I have also found congested on the outside surface. Oa the mucous or inner side I found them filled with blood, the vessels of the membrane of the spinal cord congested, also with sometimes red points cutting into the spinal cord. The appearances of post mortem exa minations are always a tree test of the cause of death. I have experimentalised in a great many cases of strych nia. If you kill an animal with a grain of strychnia you may discover traces of it that is evidence of its presence. The 50.1000 th part of a grain will kill, and that can be found if in the body. I have ac tually experimented so as to discover that quantity. The theory of the decomposition of strychnia, as pro pounded by Dr. A. Taylor, is quite new. The first time I ever heard of it was in the Court. There is no well founded reason, in my opinion, for such a theory. I o have proved it by numerous experiments. I have taken the blood of an animal poisoned with two grains of strychnia, about the least quantity that would destroy it, and have injected it into the ab lomenal cavities, of smaller animals, and have destroyed them with all the symptoms, and post mortem appearances of deaths by strychnia. It would make no difference, I should think, in finding strychnia, how it was administered. If the pills containing it were hard, and not easily dis solved, it would be easier to find. I differ from Dr. A. Taylor relative to his colour test.. I believe them to be reliable tests for finding etrychnia. I have feund it invariably in urine that has been ejected by the aid. mall that have taken it, part of it is thrown off by the watery excretions. Strychnine cannot be confounded with salacine or anthyne. An increased flow of saliva is a very marked symptom, so is susceptibility of touch in all cases. A. alight touch, or a sharp word will• produce violent convulsions. They are recog nised as chronic convulsion ,, , a stiffening of the arms. A. man who bad taken strychnine, having his neck rubbed before the paroxysms came on, would be likely to be thrown into convulsions if the first symptoms of poisoning had commenced. It would not give him any relief. I think it very improbable that a man under the influence of strychnia could pull a bell violently. I agree with Dr. Herapath th a t s t r y c h n i a cou ld be und. I have heard the symptoms in Cook's case described, but do not attach much importance to them, as I have seen symptoms developed from other causes, A dose THE RUGELEY POISONINGS. [The following appeare4in part of our impression of yesterday.] This morning the entrances to the court were densely crowded as early as eight o'clock, and in a few minutes after the doors were opened the court became crowded. The interest exhibited to-day decidedly exceeded that of yesterday, and as the case approaches a termination that interest becomes more and more excited and intense. The bench was very fully attended, and among the not ables present were the Duke of Wellington, Sir J. Pak ington, and the Mayor of Rristol. The examination of the medical witnesses for the de fence was continued, and the first witness called was M. John Ross--I am a house-surgeon to the Lon don Hospital. I recollect a recent case of tetanus. It was brought on the 22d of March to the hospital about half-past seven in the evening. It was a male, aged about 37, and the patient bad had a paroxysm in the receiving -room before I saw him. , He had a rapid bnt feeble pulie, his breathing was laborious, his jaws closed and fixed, and an expressive anxiety about the countenance. His features were sunken, and he was unable to swallow. The muscles of the abdomen and back were somewhat tense. He had another paroxysm which lasted about a minute. He was then quiet for a few minutes. He then had another and died, having been in the hospital about half an hour. There was an inquest held on the body, and a post-mortem examina tion took place, but no poison was found. I attribute death to tetanus. There were three wounds in the body—two on the back of the right elbow, each about the size of a shilling, and one on the left elbow, about the size of a sixpence. The man told me he had had the- • wounds from 12 to 3.6 years.. They were old chronic indurated ulcers, circular in outline, the edges thickened round them, and covered with a ditty white coating, without any granulation. I cannot say what acs the origin of the wounds. I have seen old chronic syphilitic wounds like those I have mentioned, but they were on the legs of the body. Those wounds were the only thing that would account for tetanus. Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—Poultices had recently been applied to the wounds a clay or two before the man was brought to the hospital, and the application of a particular poultice had been objected to by the patient. It was made of linseed meal. Thu jaws were firmly closed when he was brought to the hospital, SO it was impossible to administer anything by the mouth. The man said he had been so taken at his din ner, at eleven o'clock. Tetanic patients can speak, although they cannot open the jaw. There were symp toms of rigitity about the abdomenal and lumbar muscles. The man did not say bow long belled felt the rigidity. Another medical man, I believe, had seen the case before it was brought to the hospital. I have no doubt that the disease had been coming on the whole of the morning. They were ugly sores, of a chronic character, and integument connected the two, and they were confluent. Thera were no signs of heal ing, and they had the appearance of being old neglectel sores. They were near the ulna nerve. It is a sensitive one, near what is commonly called the funny bone. I believe the man had had paroxystns the whole of the afternoon before he came to the hospital. There was no convulsion of the legs and arms. The particular tetanic symptoms were spasm, lockjaw, the muscles of the abdomen and back being rigid, and pains in the stomach. I did not bear the symptoms of Cook's case described. Mr. Grove—Was not strychnine suspected in this case ?—lt was. Exantioatiou continued—The nerves of the tongue are, very delicate. I heard the-case of tetanus described yesterday, and am of opinion that it was idiopathic te tanus, arising from cold. • Mr. Mantel', house surgeon of the London Ilespital— I had the case just referred to under my care, as well as Mr. Ross, and the description given by him is quite i:errect. The patient died from tetanus caused by the old -Sores. Dr. Itightson examined by Mr. Kennealy—l was pupil of Liebig, at Giessen, and am now an analytical chemist at the school at Birmingham. I have made poisons my study, and amongst them strychnine. I have been employed by the Crown in the detection of poisons. I think most decidedly that strychnine may he detected. I have discovered it in pure and corrupt matter. Mr. Kencealy—What class of corrupt matter ? Witness—Bilious matter and petrifying blood. I hive trued my attention to the tissues, and have found it there. I found it in a cat poisoned, and in the blood of a dog poisoned by strychnine, and also in the nerve of also her dog poisoned by strychnine. lam of opinion that strychnine does not decompose in the act of poison ing, or- in entering the circulation ; in. that opinion I am decided. It might poSsibly Change inte . a substance in which it would still be able to he detected. We have had such cases. The most minute portions of strychnine might be found, upon an- analysis, in the case. Where it was found in the blood of the dog two grains were given. When found in the urine of the dog, - one grain and half. A grain was trie Ito be given to the cat, but a great portion was lost. I should have no doubt in saying, generally, tbat strychnine given to a man should he tound upon analysis. Mr. Sergeant Shee—You say generally. Have you heard the discussion of the particulars in the ca,at of Cook Witness—l have ; and from that description, should say certainly that if strychnin 3 had been taken it would have been found upon an analysis. By the Attorney-General—lf the entire dose taken be absorbed is it finally deposited in the blood or tissues upon reaching the point at which it kills ?—I cannot say; Attorney-General—lf the whole was absorbed into the blood would you expect to find any in the stomach ? --CertainlY not, unless some clung to the coats of the stomach. I should search for it in the blood and tissues, and 1 should expe c t t o fi n d it i n eac h o f th em suppos i ng a minimum dose had been taken and absorbed in the 1 ayes m. Re-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—lf I had known a man had had strychnine administered to hint one houi. and a half before death it could have been detected in the stomach ; if administered in the shape of pills I cannot say if it would have been al absorbed by that time. Not knowing the dose administered, and the power of absorbation, 1 cannot say, with absolute cer tainty, if it could have been detected in the coats of the stomach, but I should think it probable. I cannot give any decided opinion al to the quantity of strychnia that must have been administered to cause death in an hour and a half after the first paroxysm. Lord Campbell expressed his admiration of the man ner in which this witness had given his evidence. Witness recalled--By Mr. Baron Alderson —1 cannot give an opinion as to the exact effect of strychnia on the system before it kills. It ought to be found in the blood. strong enough to destroy life at one paroxysm would not take an hour and a half to manifest itself. In my opinion death arose from epileptic convulsions with tetanic complications. The post mortem Appearances in Cook's case being so different from those which I have observed in cases of strychnine poisoning that I do not suppose that a dose sufficient to destroy life in one paroxyism could not, so far as I am aware, requiie even an hour to manifest its affects. The interval of repose from Monday to Tuesday was, in his opinion, important as to the epileptic nature of the convulsions, as in epi lepsy the recurrence of the fit generally comes on about the same hour. Any of the causes which I have here heard described, such as co!d, the excitement upon the race ; couree, and the vomiting, might have produced the symptoms and death which has been described in Cook's case. The Court hero adjourned.

There was clenching of the band to a small extent. I cannot undertake to say it was a death frpm apoplexy. It was more like epilepsy. The man whose case I have mentioned was subject to the attacks, and had been so for years. There is not always a loss of consciousness in hysteria. I have known the patient to speak alter the paroxysm. I have seen cases of traumatic tetanus. I have known 6 or 7 cases of epilepsy end in death. By Mr. Grove--I have ascertained by inquiry after the patient has recovered that consciousness has been retained. Mr. Austin Steady—l am a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. In 1854 I attended a patient for pleuristhotonus, which is a curvature of the body sideways. Convulsions came on during the paroxysms. The patient was seized with the same disease 12 months afterwards, and she continued unwell for about a week. The disease, I was told, arose from excitement —a quarrel with her husband. I did not dis cover any other cause. By Mr. E. James—l did not ascei twin hew long the patient had been suffering when I was called in. I learned that the woman had had a blow on her side while quarrelling with her husband. It was not de scribed as a violent blow, and I observed the trismus setting in at the time. She was under my treat ment for a fortnight, and the rigidity of the muscles continued the whole of the time, and she then got better. I was ealled again to the same person in about a twelvemonth afterwards. I attended her for a week, and she had trismus the whole time. She has net yet recovered. She has now tetanic twitching of the limbs. I cannot define what the particular cause of the disease is. I saw the patient yesterday. Dr. Geo. Robinson--I am physician to the Newcastle upon-Tyne Hospital. I have devoted much time to pathology. From what I have heard of the symptoms of Cock's death, I ascribe it to convulsions resembling tetanic ones. There is nothing in the whole study of pathology so difficult as that which has reference to the cause of convulsions. I have seen post mortem examina tions of those who have died of convulsions, and could not trace any cause of disease. The presence of gritty granules in the region of the spinal cord would produce convulsions. There is a disease known as spinal epi lepsy, and one of its peculiarities is the periodicity of its return. It will assume a tetanic character. Tho mode of life which I have heard Cook led would predispose a person to such attacks. 1 have prescribed strychnine medicinally. Cross-examtned by Attorney-General—l have seen 20 cases, but I have not seen anything in epileptic convul sions where the body, if laid horizontally, would rest upon the head and heels, but I have seen bodies quite stiff, but have never seen them assume the symptoms of aposthaustas. The form of Cook's body atter death is not a symptom of tetanus, or peculiar to it, more than cenvulsione having a tetanic com plication. In post•mortein examinations, after epi lepsy, I have found granules near the spinal cord. I do not think the size of the granules would regulate tie c-invulsive spasms. The action would irritate the spinal cord. I have never known epilepsy attended by unconsciousn see. The symptoms of Cook's death are those that would occur from strychnia, butthere would have been premonitory twitchings. The stiffness of the neck might , be considered such. Re•examiued by Sergeant Shee—Cook's case was one of real epii.osy. His sitting up in bed would arise from the sense of suffocation, and might be considered as a premonitory symptom. Benjamin Ward Richardson, examined by Sergeant Sbee—l am a physician practising in London. I have never seen tetanus, idiopathic or traumatic, but many of convulsions. I have known them 'whim ending in death assume a tetanic form ; the lower muscles of the body have been contracted, the arms stiffened out and hands clenched until death, a sense of suffocation coming to the patient. In some forms there has been contortions of the feet and legs. As long as the patient was conscious he was roost desirous to sit up. People do die of angina pectoris, and the death would closely resemble that of Cook. It is of the class of spasmodic disease, and a post mortem examination might or might not show causes as if there was disease of the heart, but it might not show any symptoms to account for death. A case occurred to me in 1850. I attended a child 10 years old ; she had scarlet fever, and was getting better, when I was sud denly called in, and I went and found ber dying. She was in the arms of her sister. She was pale ; the muscles of the face and arms were rigid. Tier fingers were clenched, and the respiratory muscles were fixed and rigid, and she evinced extreme agony and restlessness, such as I never before saw. She knew me, and most eagerly took some brandy-and-water from me. I left to go to my own house, about 20 yards off, and when I came back her head was drawn back and her eyes fixed open like a statue. Baron Alderson—Was she dead ? Witness—She was. A post mortem examination was made, and not anything found to account for death; the heart wrs quite empty, so much so that I said it looked as if it had been washed ont. The parents told me that the child bad been unusually well that evening and bad eaten her supper and jumped into bad, when she was seized. Cross-examined by the Attorney•Ganeral—The nature of the diseas2 is still an.. open question. Dr. Jenner state 4 angina pectoris to arise from ossification of the coronary vessels of the heart. Mr. Baron Alderson—Why is it called angina pec toris / Witness—From anguish, or pain of the head. The pain is extreme, as if the chest was fixed in a vice. From his experience with angina pectoris and what he bad read of death from strychnine, he could not see that there was any difference. It is not usual for the attack in angina pectoris to be only one attack, but it will kill in eight minutes. The clenched state of the hands after death depends in a great measure upon the mind, and actions of the person at the time of death. Re-examined by Mr. Sergeant Skee—A. patient, if he bad a relapse from an attack of angina pectoris, would Lie in pei feet health between the attacks. Dr. Rightson was recalled, and asked by Sergeant Shee if, when strychnia, is absorbed, whether it would be collected in parts of the body and absent from others ? —He said it would be diffused equally. In answer to the Attorney-General be said that the dose would be more likely to absorb entirely into the system if taken in small dose.. Mr. Sergeant Shee—And would it not then be found? Witness - L -It would in the spleen and liver. Catherine Watson was then called. She was the girl in Scotland whose case was referred to as being one of tetanus, from which she recovered. Her evidence was that she had not taken anything to bring on the attack. Mr. Szrgeant Shee said that he bad not yet concluded the defence, for his other witnesses were not ready. Lord Campbell said in a case of such import he would not press him to go on, and the Court adjourned at 6 o'clock, previously to which, upon the application of the Attorney-general, the trainer, Saunders, was called upon his recognisances. CITY IMPROVEMENT3,—On Thursday, at Rend of Com mon Council, a diFcussion took place respecting the ex pediency, &c., of proceeding with the widening of Phil pot-lane, whereby the enormous traffic from the Docks to London-bridge would be greatly relieved. Mr. T. H. Hall and other gentlemen submitted that the debts of the Corporation were large, and that there were other improvements of a more pressing nature which were suspended or could not be commenced from want of fends. Ultimately, the motion for taking the proposed improvement into consideration was loet by a consider able majority.

GUILDHALL.—Mr. Marriott, of Fleet-street, at tended before Alderman Cubitt, to solicit the assistance of the magistrate on behalf of a highly-respectable per son,, who, he stated, had applied to him under the fal lowing circumstances. She had a few weeks back come to London with -a few pounds in her pocket, in order to obtain some 'kind of employment by which she might get a living resp ctably. She had parted with all her money, having-paid s Aall preanianns to learn . cooking under Gunter anti hairdressing under-Isadore, to make her competent fu- a situation either as a cook and house keeper or as a lady's maid. She had nol, however, suc ceeded, aid had been driven to such a distressing state that for seven . nights she had been wandering about the streets househ!ss and destitute, and without a friend in tEe wcrld to apply to fur relief, until she was brought to him, when be made every inquiry into her case, and found her story perfectly true. Her object was not so much to seek for pecuniary assistance as to obtain ein pinyment, and the great difficulty she had to contend with was the want of a recommendation. Alderman Cubitt, said all he could do in the matter was to order her some relief from the poor-box, but there was no institution that he was aware of connected with the City that would afford her the more permanent assis tance she tood in need of. Alderman Cubitt then ordered her a trifle from the poor box to meet her pre sent necessities, for which she expressed herseT exceed ingly thankful. • - BO W-STREET. —Tames Kendall and Rickard Doody were charged with highway robbers-. The proiecutJr, Mr. W. Isaac, auctioneer, of 5, Savile-row, Wa; worth, was in Norton-strut, Fitzroy square, at about half-past ton o'clock on the night of the 12th inst., when two men, whom he now believed to be the prisoners, came suddenly upon him. One of them snatched his watch chain, which broke without dislodging his watch. In the struggle that ensued pro secutor was knocked down with great violence, and his shoulder was dislocated in consequence. Both the men escaped, but a young gentleman who ran to prosecutor's assistance could identify one of them, who, although pretending that he had only come to help prosecutor up, was evidently one of his assailants. The gent'enian referred to, Mr. Fowell Buxton John stone, of 44, Duke-street, St. James's, stated that he saw two men go up to the prosecutor and snatch some thing from him, and then he saw prosecutor knocked down. Witness ran to his assistance, and found Ken dall stooping down to prosecutor, the other prisoners having escaped. Witness called to a cabman, but Kendall made off quickly, and witness lost sight of him. Mr. Lewis cross-examined both the witnesses as to their identity cf Kendall, but Mr. Johnstone was quite satisfied upon the point. A constable of the E division proved that he appre hended both the prisoners on the 14th of May, for as saulting him in the execution of his duty. Kendall was committed for trial for the robbery, and Doody, in the absence of proper evidence as to hia iden tity, was committed to one month's hard labour for the assault or. the officer. Abraham. Nathan, a well-dressed man, John Martin, and Robert King were charged on suspicion of being con cerned in two burglaries. Holmes, 50 F division, was on duty in Holborn a few nights ago, when he saw Nathan and Martin leaving Dean-street, Holborn, with a bundle, which excited his suspicion. He made towards them, when the prisoners ran off in different directions, throwing down the bundl e at, the constable's feet. Preferring one of the prisoners to the bundle, Holmes followed Nathan and apprehended him, and when he turned round for the bundle lie found it hart gone. In the prisoner's possession, however, he found some pins and other articles, which formed part of the produce of a burglars committed en the same night on the premises of Mr. Norton, jun., hosier, of the Strand ; and at the prisoner's lodgings a quantity of silk handkerchiefs were found, which were identified as the property of Mr. Griffiths, of High-street, Notting-hill, whose premises bad been broken into a short time hack. King and Martin, who were defended by Mr. Wont net, were acquitted ; but Nathan was committed for two mouths, for illegal possession. WESTMINSTER.—A rough, coarse-looking young woman was charged with stealing a cloth cap belonging to WM. French, a mechanic. Prosecutor stated that he and a male companion were walking along Millbank that morning when they fell into conversation with the prisoner and another girl whom they overtook, and then all seated themselves upon a log of wood by the river side. Prisoner then pro posed a riddle, and a bargain was made that if prosecutor didn't fairly answer it he was to stand a pot of beer. The mystic words were too difficult for his comprehen sion, and upon his refusing to pay for the beer prisoner took off his cap and ran away with it. Mr. Poynter observed that this surely could not be termed a felony, it was what was called " a lark." Inspector Andrews, of the B division, said ho had de sired to treat it as such, but the prisoner insisted upon retaining possession of the cap, which she had disposed of ip some way. Prisoner—l am not going to be cheated out of my pot of beer. Mr. Paynter—You must give up the cap. Prisoner—Yes, when ho pays the beer. Mr. Poynter, to prosecutor—You may take a sum mons against her, returnable to-morrow, for unlawfully detaining the cap. Inspector Andrews—There will be a difficulty in that respect, for she refuses to give either hsr name or ad dress. Prosecutor's companion stated that she snatcbe I the cap off the former's head, and, darting away with it, gave it to a companion. Prisoner—Don't perjure yourself fur fourpence—it's not worth while. I took the cap off the grgund ; but I would have taken it off his head if he had had it on. Mr. Paynter.—You must not detain this man's cap because of a mere joke between you about a riddle. Prisover—He was to give me a pot of beer if he couldn't make out a few words I said, and he didn't, and I'll have my fourpence or he shan't have his cap. Mr. Paynter—Then I must send you to prison. Prisoner—And then he shan't have his cap till he pays bis losings. lam ready to put up with any punishment you please to give rue, but I'll keep the cap till I get the price of the pot of beer. Mr. Paynter remanded the prisoner for a day, in hopes that she would then be in a more reasonable state 'of mind. [ADVERTISEMENT.] TEE G giV.EUAL, ILLUMINATION.

COOK.—We are requested to state that the only ester of the late Mr. John Parsong Cook i; still alive, baying been mArtied in November, 1854, to Mr. F. E. Bradford, of Dirkholme, near Colsterworth. A letter from Karaiesh, published in the Emancipa tion, of BruFsels, states that the Russian vessels which had been sunk at the entrance of the l'arbour of Sehas- tvol are very much injured by their submer.itn, owing their having been built of fir instead of osk. STATE OF I'II4DE. .2.—Thera is little or no change in the market since Tuesday. Menu . facturers have only been able to soil by submitting to a t.light reduction, and spinners have to concede 1 1 4 d. per lb. on last week's rates. The reduction, however, is more marked in India qualities and in the hard twists suited for the Mediterranean than for cops and warps for home manufacturers. DEATI:I OF Mn. JAMES WILSON OF WooDviLLE.—We regret to announce the death of Mr. J. Wilsoo,.of Wood ville' younger brother of the late Pr o fe sso r Wilson, which took place on Sunday morning. Mr. Wilson was a dis tinguished naturalist ,7 he was the author of two well known works, "The Rod and the Gun," and "A T our Round the North of Scotland," and of numerous articles in the Nvtli, British. and other Reviews. He was also a member of the Fishery Bard. Personally Mr. Wilson was held in great respect and affection.—Gl asgow D a il y Mail. Colntry Market :4. _~ ~ r; LivERPooL —MAY 23.

We still experience a good demand for raw sugars, and were there more samples offering a large amount of bud' ness might be done at fully the late values. Our market is bare of qualities suited for the scale, which are much. wanted. Refiners' goods meet with a brisk sale, and the prices the turn in favour of the manufacturer. Rums are in but little demand, and in the few transactions closed, the late currencies have been but barely supported. COAL MARK Prices of CoAI uor ton at '.—Mey 23. the close of the market. A. d.
