ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—MoNuouTIi, MARCH 27. (Nisi Prius Court.—Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) DAVIE 3 V. PHILLIPS. This was an action for false imprisonment ; Mr. Keat ing, Q.C., and Mr. Gray for the plaintiff ; Mr. Whateley, Q.C., and Mr. Whitmore, Q.C., for the defendant. Mr. Keating, in stating the case, said plaintiff was a small tanner and licensed horse-dealer, and defendant a wealthy farmer, who, in August last, had a mare stolen iron a field in his occupation. About that time plaintiff left his horns on business, but was recalled home by the death of his father. He returned on the 3d Oct., and was present at his father's funeral, and, whilst engaged in the interment of his parent, the defendant, accompa nied by a constable and an old woman named Elspeth Plumber, inquired for Edwin Davies, the plaintiff. The old woman was called upon to point him out, and first pointed out his brother, who has only one eye ; and she subsequently pointed to two wrong parties, plainly showing that she knew very little about the mat ter. The plaintiff was, however, then and there arrested by the grave of his father, and dragged about from place to place, and when at length he was taken before the magistrates at Blaina no one appeared against him, and he was discharged. He instructed his attorney to pro ceed against defendant, and a writ was accordingly served on the 9th of October. The next day defendant again went and made a declaration before the magistrates, one of whom was his brother-in-law, and obtained a fresh warrant against plaintiff. As plaintiff was in Pontypool fair on the next day, pursuing his avocation of buying cattle, he was again arrested. The constable persisted in handcuffing him in the midst of the fair, and a brother of the defendant seized him by the threat, and in that way he was dragged through the streets of the town. After being again dragged across the country, he was at length taken before some magistrates on the charge of stealing the defendant's horse, because the old woman, Elspeth Plumber, gave a description, and afterwards said he was the man whom she had seen near the field from which the horse was stolen. The magistrates dismissed the case without calling upon plaintiff for a defence. He lost a considerable amount of money by being kept from his business, and also suffered great annoyance from being pointed at as the thief of the defendant's mare. Upon these two counts he c!ainred damage'. A number of witnesses were called to prove the above facts. Mr. Whateley, for the defence, said that he should submit that a mistake had arisen in consequence of the information which defendant received, and upon which he acted. He was instructed to say that the defendant did not now impeach the character of the plaintiff, and not only believed him to be entirely innocent of the theft, but was extremely sorry for what had happened. He should call witnesses to show that the defendant had reasonable ground to proceed upon, and having done that, the defendant would be entitled to their verdict. The defendant was examined at great length, and con tralicted many of the statements made by the other side. After a consultation, Mr. Whateley offered 1001. da mages, and a fully apology, which was' accepted by Mr. Keating. His Lordship expressed his concurrence in, and satis faction, at the verdict. (Crown Court.—Before Mr. Justice Cress well.) ATTEMPP TO POISON. iVnt. Smith was indicted for having administered poison to Richard Tomking, in the parish of Dixton, on the Bth of February last, with intent to kill, &c. The prosecutor was a shepherd in the employ of Mr. Wanklyn, of .lladdock, and during the lambing season he resided in a cot near the farmyard. On the Bth of February he had a bottle of cider in his cot, and when he drank of it in the morning it tasted - as usual. In the even lug, however, he found that it had a nasty taste, and he calted other men to taste it. On emptying the cider out of the bottle six pieces of blue stone, or sulphate of cop per, came out of it. He then taxed the prisoner, with whom he had had a quarrel, with having put the poison into the bottle. The prisoner denied the charge, but upon the prosecutor beim , deterasined to search him, he a 'mated that he had " ;let more of it ' in his pocket. Mr. Woollett, surgeon, of Monmouth, deposed that on the Bth of February the prosecutor came to him, and said he felt great pain in his bowels, and had vomited three times on the road. Sulphate of copper or blue stone is poisonous, and the quantity that came out the cidt r bottle was sufficient to destroy human life. The prosecutor was not in danger when witness saw him. By the Judge—Sulphate of copper is used by farmers to steep wheat in, and also for sheep. Ido not think there is a general understanding of its deadly qualities. Mr. Somerset addressed the jury for the prisoner ; and the judge said that, if the jury were satisfied that the prisoner had put the poison into the cider, it was a question for them to decide whether he intended to poi son the prosecutor, or placed it there from any less felonious motive. The prisoner, who was only 18 years of age, received a good character. The verdict was that he had no intention of destroying life when he put the poison into the cider, which the judge said was a verdict of not guilty. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—LIVERPOOL, March 28. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) James Monaghan, aged 26, Terence At 'Loughlin, aged 13, Edward Dunn, aged 25, and Jetties Keefe, aged 4i), were indicted with having forged and uttered a will of one John Monaghan, at Manchester, in August last. Mr. Ovens prosecuted, and Mr. Fernley defended the prisoners. . It appeared from the evidence in chief and the erovs• examination of the witnesses for the prosecution, that an old man, named John Monaghan, died at Manchester in August last, after having been for some time ill. He was a varnisher by trade. The prisoner Monaghan was hie eon. A son-in-law of his, named King, saw Lim make his will behre he died, and that will was attested by the prisoners Keefe and MdLeughlin. The son-in-law King had insured old Monaghan's life in the Wellington In surance-office, at Manchester, 14 months before he died, for 10/. 165., and the wilt had been prepared the week before his death, and purported to bequeath this sum of 101 16e. to King. It also appeared that Monaghan (i,he prisoner) had insured his father's life in the Diadem In surance Company for 300/. about three months before his death. About three weeks after old Monaghan's death the will was on a table in King's house, when Monaghan took it up and altsred it in pencil, and then got a men named O'Neil to copy the will with the pencil alterations, and with these alterations the copied will purported to bequeath to the prisoner Monaghan the policy in the Diadem Insurance-off - lois, effected on the lite of the testa tor by the prisoner Monahan, his son. This will was at tested by the prisoners McLoughlin and Keefe, and was tempted to be proved before the surrogate by M‘Lough lin and Monaghan, Keefe swearing to the truth of the attestation. The surrogate was not satisfied, and an at tempt having been made to obtain payment of the po licy in the Diadem Insurance C smpatty by Monaglesa, that company sot on foot inquiries into the matter and into the circumstances attending the death of the testat which resulted in the prisoners Monaghan, Dunn, a person named Barry, and the surgeon who had attended the testator, being taken into custody on a charge of baying administered acetate of lead to the deceased, and thereby caused his death. The body was exhumed, an inq test was held upon it, and also an in• quiry was set on foot before the magistrates, which ha,.l ended in the charge being dismissed. It was shown that the prisoner Monaghan, shortly before his father's death bad borrowed 101. on the security of the policy on his father's life in the Diadem Insurance Co.npany, and that sum had been repaid ; and it was also shown that the prisoners Dunn and Monaghan had been to a young woman, named Margery Hudson, and had asked her to g.' out to Australia with them, telling her that they were going to get 3001. on a policy of insurance. They after tarcts tol t her they could not get it. The witness King, the son-in-law of the deceased, had been paid 81. by the Wellingten Insurance Company, part of the 101. 16s. in sured. The balance the insurance office had refused to pay. This was the cese fur the praseetition. His Lordship was of opinion that the evidence only affected the prisoners Monaghan and M'Loughlin. For the defence it was contended that there was no intention to defraud by the prisoners. The insurance in the Diadem Company had been effected by the prisoner Monaghan, and the only object of the prisoners had been to get paid that insurance which the prisoner Monaghan had effected, The whole charge was said to have been got up by the insurance company to avoid paying the amount due on their policy. A part of their charge against the prisoners had been that they had murdered the old man, but that had failed ; and now the present case was got up against the prisoners. His Lordship, in surnaming up, said, the present pro secution was got up by the authorities at Manchester, and very properly. It was a case from which much might be learned. In the first place, people would learn from it that insurances effected by persons on the lives of others, in whose lives they had no interest, were utterly void. Here they had the witness King effecting an insurance on the life of the deceased for so small a sum as 10/. 16s. That policy was utterly void, and the insurance-office bad only chosen to pay 81. on the policy. Another thing people would learn from this case was that uttering a forged document was an offence, even if there was n o i ntent i on to defrau d i n so uttering it, as if a roan forged a name upon a bill in tending to pay it when it arrived at maturity, and to defraud no one. That was a crime. I n th e presen t . case the first will was uo in one sense ; it was merely a document to enabhs King to get th e amount of the policy on the testator's life, which King hail himself effected. So the second will had been forged to enable the prisoner Monaghan to obtain payment of the policy for 3001. effected by him on the life of his fatherin the Diadem Insurance Company. There was not the slight estground for supposing that he had any design csn his father's life ; but, on the contrary, there was evidence he had been a kind son. The policy for 3001. had been probably effected in the name of the deceased, in order not to be void on the face of it, and the only person who . could compel payment of it would be the legal represen . tatives of the old man, and it was probably to effect . this object the prisoner had forged the will. In the eye of the law it was a fraudulent act ; but it was not a frau dulent act in the sense that it was made with the intent to defraud. The will had been proved to have been made 3 weeks after the old man's death, and there could be no deubt, therefore, that the prisoner Monaghan had forged • this will, and the signature of the deceased. The worst part of the case was his geetting Keefe to swear before the surrogate that the will was a genuine one. . The jury found Monaghan guilty, and acquitted the other prisoners, His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned lor 6 calendar months. TIM SUPERANNUATION BILL.—We understand that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has come to the reso lution to withdraw the age-limiting clause of the new Saperanalation servo; Gazette. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-Ii - cum MANSION-HOUSE.—John Hall, whip has been so frequently under examination upon suspicion of having been concerned in the gold-dust robbery committed in the transit of the property from London to the Conti nent, was brought before the Lord Mayor for final exa mination upon that charge, and also upon. the charge of haying absconded from his bail in the year 1841, when accused of baying received stolen goods. Mr. Bodkin appeared as counsel for this South-East ern Railway Company, by which the prosecntion was instituted, instructed by Messrs. Rees and Co. ; Mr. Ballantine, instructed by Messrs. Lewis, appeared for the prisoner. Mr, Humphreys appeared to sustain the second charge. Mr. Bodkin stated to the Lord Mayor that since the last examination every effort had been made upon the part of the prosecution to obtain the necessary testimony t 3 perfect the evidence in the case, but without effect, although the rigid inquiry made had elicited a consider able amount of facts tending to show that the accusa tion was far from groundless. He considered himself bound, therefore, to leave the matter as it now stood in the hands of his lordship, feeling, as he certainly did feel, that it assumed the appearance of a case of very serious suspicion. Mr. Ballantine said, the prisoner had been from time to time remanded in order that the prosecutors might avail themselves of every opportunity to collect the evi dence which Mr. Bodkin promised to bring forward in proof of the charge of participation. His client felt that it was a great hardship to be incarcerated for so long a period, especially as a session had intervened since he had been apprehended. The Lord Mayor said, he had considered the whole of the evidence with the greatest care, and he felt the ut most willingness to grant all the time that might be ne cessary in the investigation of a case of such undoubted importance to the public ; but after the statement just made by Mr. Bodkin he could not see that he should be justified in detaining the prisoner longer on the charge brought forward by the South-Eastern Railway Com pany. He had, he plainly saw, but one course to pur sue, which was that, as the prosecutors had failed to connect the prisoner immediately with the commission of the offence imputed to him, the prisoner must be dis• charged as to that case. Mr. Bodkin said, he the more readily consented to the discharge of the prisoner in the case alluded to, as he was aware that Mr. Humphreys was about to estab lish a charge against the prisoner which would, in all probability, have the effect of a further detention in prison, and in the meantime such evidence might arise as would complete the case about which such pains had been already taken. The Lord Mayor then discharged the prisoner on the first case. Mr. Humphreys then proceeded against the prisoner under the following circumstances, and submitted to hii lordship the propriety of committing Hall without bail, as he had already broken faith with his previous sure ties whose recognisances, as well as the prisoner's own recognisances, bad been estreated. Jas. Brett, .the detective officer, produced a certificate which he had received from Mr. John Clark, the clerk of the Central Criminal Court, a week ago. It stated in substance as follows: " These are to certify that at the general sessions of Oyer and Terminer, holden on Monday, the let day of March, 1841, John Hall, of the parish of Greenwich, in the county of Kent, laliourer, was and stands indicted for feloniously receiving of an evil-disposed person a watch, of the value of 181., of the goods and chattels of George ' Atkinson well knowing the same to have been feloni ously stolen. And these are further to certify, that at the same session a certain recognisance was returned, whereby the said John Hell and sureties were bound for his personal appearance at the said sessions to an swer and plead to a certain bill of indictment to be pre ferred against him for felony; but he did not appear according to the recognisance, whereby the same became forfeited, and was ordered to be estreated into the Court of Exchequer. And these are further to certify that at the same session it was ordered that process should issue against Hall, and that, when apprehended, notice thereat should be given to Mr. W. C. Humphreys, of 119, New gate-street, solicitor for the prosecution. And these are further to certify that the said John Hall bath not been arraigned or tried on the said indictment." Thomas M‘Gill said—l was formerly in the metropo• titan pence force, and am now retired, and residing at 1, Belmont place, Greenwich. I was in the police force in 1841. I have looked at the certificate produced, and was the officer having charge of the case therein men tioned. The prisoner is the person who is mentioned in the certificate ? The Lord Mayor then asked the prisoner, according to the usual form, whi.ther he wished to say anything. The prisoner—No ; I leave it to my solicitor. John Hall was then commiteed for trial on the second charge. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Jeoe»tialt Rees was brought before Mr. Hard wick for re-examination, charged with embezzlement. Mr. So!mons appeared for the prisoner; and Mr. Lewis for the prosecution. James Kenneth, 121, Bond-street, said he was assist ant to his mother, who carried on the business of a fish monger. Toe prisoner was clerk, and it was part of his duty to take the money to the bankers. In the cash book there appeared an entry on the 31st December of 19/. as. 3d. as baring been paid to the bankers. Oa the 15th January an entry of 641. 19s. 6d. was in the cash book as having been paid into the bank by the prisoner. The prisoner actually paid only 541. On the 19th January 241. 4s. 3d. should have been pail in. On the 9th February the sum of 251. 16s. appeared as if paid in ; on the 13th February 391. 19?. 23. ; and on the 29th February, 291. 18s. 21, This last sum was made up in packets. All the entries in the book were in the pri soner's handwriting. When the prisoner went to the bankers', as witne: s supposed, ou the last occasion, he aske I him for the bankers' pa.sbook ; the prisoner re plied that the passbook was boat, and the bankers were making a rev one. . . . . Cro!-s-examined--The prisoner used to post the books conjointly with witness, and when he (witness) wanted any money he used to take the amount he required and place a ticket in the money•bowl. Had seen the prisoner in the House of Detention, out of sympathy, but did not say, "If prisoner could raise the sum of 401. he would do all he could to settle the matter." Had not been to prisoner's friends to make an offer to settle the business ft-r 20/. Ile examined—All the money he took from the bowl for businesa purposes he afterwards replaced, and re ceived the tickets from the prisoner. Sometimes he borrowed money from the bowl for his own use, but he always returned it. Mrs. Kenneth :aid, she employed her son at a salary of 1001. a-year to manage the bo iness. Henry Heatly, in the service of Mrs. Kenneth, recol lected that the prisoner had lots of sovereigns in his porte-monnaie on the la,t day he was at the shop. J,lmes Champion, cashier, at the London and West minster Bank, knew prisoner as coming to the bank t pay in money. The witntsi proved that on the several dates referred to by the first witness the sums pi,id in were short of the sums named, in one instance to the extent of 15/. ; and that the last amount, about 301., had not been paid in at all. Tho prisoner was fully committed, and, under the a.:l - of his solicitor, reserved his defence. RETIREMENT OF MR. HARDWICK. Mr. Hardwick, one of the oldest metropolitan magis• trate', having been 35 years on the bench, yesterday re Unfinished his public duties, his resignation, it is under sto having been reluctant!) , accepted by the Hoene office. Mr. Hardwick, in a ldition to his sound julicial qualifications, was an excellent3linguist, an advantage particularly serviceable in this court, where a consider. able portion of the business has referance to foreigners. ✓lr. Hardwick, as a magistrate, was honourably die inguished by the inflexib'e uprightness of his judgments, in no instance allowing himself to be swayed in his (1 , - cisions by the rank or influence of the parties before him ; his decisions being also remarkable for a clear per ception of the real merits of the case. The casual poor, whose c'aims more particularly came out in poli.:e courts, will lose a discriminating friend, the funds of the poor. box having been always freely resorted to in meritorious cases. souniWAßK. TVilliana Chapman, a powerful looking young fellow, 20 years of age, was charged with committing a violent assault on his mother, an elderly woman. Directly the complainant entered the witness-box the prisoner in a threatening tone, with his right hand ex tended towards her, exclaimed, " Remember you are my mother. You must not swear my life away, or ven geance be upon your head !" Mr. Combe 'asked the complainant what he son was, and whether he was in his proper sense She replied that he was a sailor, and bad not long been in London from the Crimea. He was quite right in his head, but he behaved badly towards her. On the previous evening he went into bad company, and, hear ing where be was, she went after him to get him away, As soon as he saw her he knocked her down and swore he would murder her, and she believed that he would have done so had not a constable came up and taken him into custody. . . . . . . . Mr. Coombe ;eked her whether he ba'l illused her before She reluctantly replied that he had. Every time he came from sea he squandered his money away, and then found his way to her for more, which she always gave him as far as she could, and as soon as that was gone he illused her. The prisoner, in a dogged manner, said he had no re collection of beating his mother. Same one must have drugged his ale, which took away his senses. Mr. Combo told him he was a cowardly ruffian, and he should not be doing his duty unless he committed him to the House of Correction for three months with hard labour. The prisoner hera turned round to the aged woman and exclaimed, "Remember, mother, I'll have vengeance for this. I'll make you remember this." Mr. Combo told him he would have three months to cool his temper, and most likely the punishment would make him remember assaulting his mother. Ile was then removed from the dock, when the old lady actually tried to beg him off', but Mr. Combe was resolute is sending him for three months. LAMBETH.—Mr. Jonathan, Emmett and Mr. John, Hensby, vestrymen, belonging to the parish of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, attended before the Hon. G. C. Norton, to prosecute a man named Black. well, in a case of gross outrage, for which a summons had been granted on the day before. From the statements of the complainants it appeared that on Thursday, about mid-day, they, in discharge of their duty as members of the vestry of the parish, and acting under the authority of the Nuisances Removal Ao', proceeded to a house adjoining the George public house, in the Waterloo-road, to view a nuisance which they bad been informed existed there, for the purpose of its removal. They reached the top of the house without much obstruction, and discovered a nuisance of the most abominable description, and, in fact, the whole house was in so filthy a state as to be unfit for human habita tion. At the top was a nook to which the ashes, slops, and filth of the inmates were carried and emptied, and this accumulation was in itself sufficient to create disease and nausea, and required to be seen in order to form any idea of its abomination. When returning downstairs, after witnessing the scene they had but faintly described, they were beset by the inmates, who assailed them with all sorts of abuse, said the landlord (Mr. Morris) was an honest and respectable man, and should not be robbed by such thieves as they ; and, in fact, their situation at that moment, and for some time, became one of consi derable danger. Among those by whom they were as sailed was a furious-looking Irishman three parts drunk, who occupied an apartment on the 2d floor. This man placed himself on the stairs before them in such a po sition as prevented their passing him, and though they remonstrated with him, and told him who they were and the object of their visit, he obstinately resisted their pro grese. On the contrary, he continued to abuse them, and whistling a ferocious bulldog, of considerable size, as soon as the animal reached him he deliberately set it on one of them, Mr. Emmett, and attacked Mr. Hensby him self, and was assisted by his wife. Fortunately for him self, Mr. Hensby possesses much muscular power, and to this, and this alone, ho owed his preservation from serious injury. The object of his savage assailants ap peared to be to drag or force him into the room, in the eentre of which appeared to be an open trap or hole through the floor, and doubtless to drop him through it; but fortunately be was enabled to disappoint them, and ultimately made his way out of the house. Mr. Emmett in the interim bad his work to do, for the dog, being set I on him, at once made a rush at his legs. Fortunately for him he was fortified with a pair of stout boots, and as the savage brute approached him within the proper distance, he succeeded in giving him a kick under the jaw, which turned him right over. He, however, soon returned to the charge, and for eight or ten times he succeeded in kicking him about the same spat and turn ing him over, and at last the brute became so cowed and exhausted as to show his tail and slink a say. Mr. Hensby assured the magistrate that his position way anything but pleasant, but that of Mr. Emmett he considered to be much worse, and, as far as he had an opportunity of witnessing it, he never saw anything more extraordinary than the way in which he managed to kick and throw over his savage assailant. Mr.Eminett—l had not much to spare your worship, for I don't think I was ever more exhausted in any effort, and never, certainly, did I witness anything with greater delight than the exhaustion of this furious dog, and his walking away from me. The name of the defendant Blackwell was called, but he did not appear, and Lockyear, the officer, having deposed to serving the summons on him personally and also to having a narrow escape from the attack of the bulldog while doing so, Mr. Norton at once granted a warrant for Blackwell's apprehension. IN TilE ICE. (Prom the New York Times.) At a meeting of the passengers on board the United States Mail steam-ship Arago, held on 20th Feb., at the close of her fifth voyage from Havre to New York, the following paper, expressive of their feelings and view of the facts therein detailed, was adopted, and ordered to be printed in two or more of the New York newspapers : " The steam-ship Arago left Havre on the 13th inst., and Cowes at about 2 o'clock on the following morning. Weather as favourable as could be expeeed in a winter passage enabled us to make a prosperous run, without any remarkable incidents, to the morning of the 22d inst., when, at about 6 o'clock, icebergs were dis covered in the northern and southern horizons. The usual interest was excited, though the surprise at so unusual a sight at this season cf the year was less, from the fact that the ship had encountered ice in her outward passage, and had suffered some trifling damage in the contact. Yet none were pre pared in the slightest degree for the formidable and dangerous obstruction that lay in our westward path. In the course of the morning, however, fragments and detached masses of all shapes and magnitudes began to appear, and so rapidly in creased in number that only by quick operation, skilful management of the helm and engine, were the dangerous encounters avoided. After running the gauntlet of these swarming enemies for several hours a clearer sea appeared before us, and we in dulged for a moment the hope of having passed the danger. But very soon it was again discovered directly ahead, and a nearer approach showed it to be closely packed and utterly impassable. The ship was then headed to the north, with the hope of finding the end of the pack and doubling it. But after steaming upon this course 30 miles, the most powerful glass could discover no limit to the bar rier. Tho attempt to find a passage in that direc tion was therefore abandoned, and the ship returned to her former position. The weather during the day had been broken, and the afteruoon looked gloomy, with occasional snow squalls, which added temporarily to our discouragement. Night closed in without the prospect of release from our embar rassing position. A moon, however, enabled us to feel our way in search of an escape, but with little success, ant morning found us still in the icy neighbourhood. A south-easterly course had tikes' us slowly along the broken edge, which was inter rupted by occasional bays and indentations. During the 24 hours thus passed we had, with every favourable circumstance, made scarcely any west ward progress, and had but little if at all improved our position. Ice still enclosed us on every side, and the clear water in which we were working was but one of the deep bays which had at first the ap pearance of an open way to the westward. After steaming for some time in that direction we were again stopped, as upon the previous morning, by a close pack ahead. The view presented to the eye during this morning was truly magnificent, and, dissociated from the sense of peril which our position so well justified, the mind and fancy could dwell upon the scene with the inteusest pleasure. A vast icy territory passed in review before us in our southerly course, which was now resumed as the only hope that seemed left of deliverance. Ice bergs of varied shapes and sizes, that required but little effort of the imagination to convert into archi tectural forms, and bring to the eye the illusion of scattered hamlets, ruined cathedrals, columns and arches,—the t e tutiful and grotesque forms of the floating masses ad led new details to the scene of which the ensemble was at once awfully grand and charmingly picturesque. But the mind was little disposed to such contemplations under the heavy anxieties that began to weigh upon it as time wore on without bringing any relief. The weather during this'day, though still broken and unsettled, wes more favourable than on the previous day, and was watched with intense solicitude, inasmuch as it was as important to our safety asit was unusual in that locality. Its continuance was, therefore, de voutly prayed for as our chief dependence under God. Had a fog shut down upon us or a gale arisen, and we had then become enclosed in the ice, we should have found but little room for hope but in the especial interposition of a kind Providence. Our course continued throughout the day to the south-oast, with an occasional attempt to make way to the westward. As evening closed, the ship was hove to and remained quiet until 10 o'clock, when a full moon shed its clear, soft light over the sea, revealing the smallest object, and enabling us to get under way and move with comparative safety. Another night thus passed and Sunday morning found us 180 miles to the south from our course, and attempting to double what at last seemed to be the southern cape of the icy region. As we rounded it and took a north-westerly course, a new but more scattered field lay before us, through which we finally threaded our way in safety, and a clear open sea once more revealed itself. Three or four hours passed, however, before our minds were reassured, or our faithful commander relaxed in the least degree his vigilance. A fear that we might again, and for the third time, find ourselves em bayed, kept suspense alive for several hours, until night returned, without bringing new difficulties, and finally hid from our eyes those we had so happily passed. Fifty-four hours had thus worn away in danger and embarrassment, during which time we had sailed 220 miles from north to south before the great barrier, and penetrated it to the westward a distance of 30 miles, to meet it again, densely packed as far as could be seen. From the extreme point of our northing no glass could discern a pas sage beyond, and immense icebergs were seen stretching from the extreme southern point, where we finally passed the pack. It is, therefore, within the truth, to measure the extent of this enormous icy barrier at 250 miles in length, and 50 miles in breadth, stretching over more than three degrees both of latitude and longitude." PRISONS IN SCOTLA.ND.—The 17th report of the Gene ral Board of Directors of Prisons in Scotland is pub lished in the shape of a blue-book, of 100 pages. It ap pears that in 1855 the total number of prisoners admit ted into the General Prison amounted to 568, of whom 334 were male, and 234 female. This makes a total number of 1,134 confined in the course of the year. 323 male prisoners were liberated by expiration of sentence, and 254 were removed to England. At the close of the year 543 prisoners remained on hand in the General Prison, of whom 303 were male and 240 female. The report is very meagre with regard to points of general interest. One curious feature is the difficulty experi enced in obtaining the services of persons willing to in flict the degrading punishment'of whipping our juvenile male offenders , owing to the inadequacy of the remu ner &on for the duty ; and it has been found necessary to authorise the sheriffs to grant small annual salaries (from 2/. to 51.) to induce officers to undertake the re• valting task.

MARSHALL, Chtof eatiluer. Dated the 27th day of March, IfC POISONING BY COMMON HOF SERADISH.—There are some cases of poisoring by accident which it would be in the power-of no la vto prevent. Such cases are those which have lately associited a melancholy interest with the town of angwakic, Scotland, where the root of the aconitune napellus was easten by several persons in mistake for the eJminon horseradish. This error is by no means uncommon ; other iontances, we believe, are on record besides those enuineratsid by Dr. Ilead'and in this day's Lancet. What renders substitution of aconite for hortera ish more remarkable is that, on comparing the two roots, there is - not the slightest resemblance be tween them. The only hope of preventing such acci dents for the future is to place prominently before the public the means of distinguishing the roots from each other, and to.enforce such cautions as the circumstances naturally present —Lancd. _ LADVEBTISEM EN T dloway's Ointment and Pills, incomparable reuedies for sore wounds and ulcers.—Mr. James Newman, residing near Etnyvale, was a drea ful sufferer for four years from running ulcers in his leg, be tried all means without effect, he had been in an hospital three months, and turned out incurable, be then had recourse to Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and by a steady perseverance in their use for a few weeks he ob taMed au effectual cure, and his leg is now whole and sound, to the astonishment of his friends.

[Anyzartsmtzsr.]—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 Arabica Food.invariably cures them in a very short time. We extract two out of many thousand expressions of gratitude from invalids :—From the Dowager Countess of Castiestuart. Cure 52,612.—Rosstrevor, County of Down, Ireland, December 9, 1854. The Dowager Countess of Castlestuart feels induced, in the interest of suffering hu manity, to state that Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food has cured her, after all medicines had failed, of indiges tion, bile, great nervousness and irritabilly of many years' standing. This food deserves the confidence of all sufferers, and may be considered a real blessing. Inqu'ri , s will be cheerfully answered.—Trevagler, Gulval, near Penzance, Feb. 20, 1851.—Eighteen years' nervous debility, violent palpita tion of the heart, throbbing of the temples, violent pains on the left side and back, shortness of breath, cough, numb; es of the extremities, cramps, spasms, flatulency, retching, th.d such general weakness, that I was consequently fearful of fall ing when on mylegs, all these symptoms have been removed 1 y Du Barry's excellent Re val cnt a Arabica Food. —MARY GELEIRT.

LIVERPOOL—Mem! 28. At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the w n and country trade, and a moderate retail demand was experienced for wheat and flour, at about Tuesday's rates. Oats and oatmeal, with a slow sale, remained without alteration in value. Barley and peas were sale able in retail at late rates ' • whilst beans were the turn dearer. As the late arrival s of Indian corn for-the most pat t have not been yet sampled,. there was less ..cffering thin was expected, and holders were consequently enabled to get rather more money, yellow selling at 30-4. 6d. to 31e., and mixed and white 30s. to Ns. 6d. per quarter. WAKEFIELD—MARCH 28. The wheat trait() w..s firm, at last week's prices; with a fair business. Fine barley maintained its value, but other sorts were rather cheaper. No change in other articles.
