He then went on to stare that Miss Willoughby had formerly lived under the pro tection of his brother, which had caused much uneasiness in the family, and that his father had, of course, done all in his power to break off the un fortunate connection. His brother was alwa:,s supplied with money liberally, and his father, though he did not approve of his conduct, ha:l never acted harshly towards him.

Mr. John North,surgeon, of 66, Upper Berkeley street, said that the deceased was in a dying state when he was called in. Human aid was useless, and in a few minutes he expired. In hid opinion he had, swallowed enough prussic acid to destroy six or seven lives. At the time he arrived !Hiss XVi!. loughby had nearly recovered. The recipe which the deceased had written for Miss Willoughby was nearly the same as he (witness) administered vainly to the unfortunate young man.

CURE OF DROPSY, AND VARIOUS COM- To Mr. SHEPHARD, PLAINTS. Hygeist, Newcastle. Dear Sir,.-1 shcadd not have either troubled: you or myse lf w ith me testimo n y in favour of Morison 's Pills after such overwhelmitee evidence has alre ad y be e n laid before the public of their most extraordinary efficacy in the cure of all complaints to which the human frame is subjected, bad it not been fo r the base calumny perseveringly three n out against the Pills by a class of men from whom the public might have expected better things. I read, the other day, in one of the public journals, a charge preferred against the Pills for having poisoned a person. The truth or falsehood of the charge I, of course at present, have no means of ascertaining, but I fully believe t!te charge to be false, and for the following reason :—My wife, about twenty years ago, got an asthmatical complsint, from the effects of sleeping in a damp bed ; the complaint gradually gained upon her constitution, until about twelve years ago, when the difficulty of breathing became so intolerable as day after day to cause us to expect suffocation. She was principally confined to her bed; was, for years together, nottable to be without doors. She was regularly attended by the faculty, for serne of whom I feel under lasting ob ligations on accouut of their solicitude to render her relief. Every means were tried that physicians anti surgeons could devise ; y pitied, but could not help, except in giving temporary relief. From the time of her taking sat ill till about the end of IB3l—being about ten years—she bad blood let by the lancet or taken by leeches several hun. dreds of times, resides blisters applied et her chest, some times thrice in the week, these being the priocip means from which she felt relief. During the year 1830 it was too evident that the dropsy had aff,cr,al her weak and emaciated frame; she became much swollen, both in her face, bowels, and legs; palpitation be came very painful; the Water was suspetted to be col lecting near her Heart. The only expectation both by her family and,a,.l rge s :tt ele of friensk Lion ; the Faculty gave at as their opinion that her com plaint had assumed such an aspect as - to preclude the last ray of hope of her recovery. About this time, November, 1831, I was often urged to give her Morison's Pill. but being an enemy to what is called Quackety, 1 could not be prevailed on, until I had purchased and read the " Morisoniana," in which Morison describes the true cause of all complaint', and the means of cure by the pi .6. I was delighted with his theory. I hesitated no longer to try the Pills on my Wife, who was anxious to take any thing likely to relieve her sufferings. In December, 1931, she commenced taking th e ; first in sm i ll numbers, and as she gained strength of body she increased the number from five to twenty occasionally in the day. It is a remarkable circumstance that the Pills, which are a strong purgative, were the means of greatly increasing her strength. During the early part of 1832 the Dropsy gave way to the powerful effects of the Pills, and by the latter part of the year, and up to this day she has not had the slightest symptom of relapse. During 1832, little effect had been produced on her estbmatical complaint, but durin g this year, by the providence of God, she is greatly improved. She can now attend to her domestic concerns ; can take her rest at night ; and is able occa sionally to walk three and four miles a day • she is a wonder to all who kn ew h er. Whether ever she may be perfectly cured seems a doubtful ca se , f rom t h e length of time the complaint was suffered to prey upon the consti tution. It is now just two years since ill e commenced taking the Pills, and has only omitted taki ng them two days during that time. The number taken exceeds 9 000 1 How is it then that she is not poisoned ? This is my reason for believing the charge preferred against th e Pdls to be false. I leave my name and address with you, and am willing to refer inquirers, if any, to families of great respectability, who will corroborate the above statement ; and am willing, either verbally or by letter, to answer any inquiries. lam not an agent for Morison, and have no other interest whatever in recommending the Pills, than a firm persuasion of their powerful anti harmless (not poi sonous) effects, in eradicating disease of every kind from the human system. I will further state I was much troubled with what Was said to be a liver complaint, and was treated accord ingly by taking large doses of calomel, which very much impaired my health. I tried the Pills, and in about a week my liver complaint left me, and I have felt no more of it since this took place, twelve months ago. One of my sons became very dull of hearing, which continued to get, worse, until be took the influenza, when it was raging in this neighbourhood ; he had a nose violent attack. He had a Ike., ttred...s, which cau.4 , cl treat difficulty in swal lowing, and rendered it difficult to get him to take the Pills. The complaint kept increasing for three days; he Was in a high state of fever and delirium ; we then made a desperate effort to administer the Pills ; un the fourth snerning he took fourteen No. 2, and evening fifteen ditto, and the same quantity the next morning. During that day the fever had quite subsided ; he was able to come down stairs, with a good appetite; and what seemed to delight him most, he could join in the general conversa tion, having exchanged the lever for his hearing. Another son who hail from his infancy been delicate, Was in the practice of frequently taking calomel, to correct his bowels. I administered the Palls to him; since, he has been quite healthy ; never rf quires any medicines unless he catches cold. when he takes three or four Pills at bed time and is well the next morning. From what I have experienced I am decidedly of the opinion that persons are not susceptible of taking cold while under the me dicine. i t i s n ow my duty to thank you for your very kind attention to my family, in visiting them to encourage th m to take the Pills, for want of p , rsevering in taking them has been the cause of many failures. Wishing you great success in your most importaot sphere, in which, by the providence of God, you have b ea placed, I take my leave of you at present, promising, however, if med require, to make some d sclosures which will set the public on their guard against believing many aspersions that have been raised against the medicines. I remain, yours meat respectfully, Newcastle, December 24, 1833. P.S. Language fills to describe the awful suffering state of the lady, whose ease is above described ; I have seen her sitting up for weeks together, not being able to lay down for fear of suffocation ; and in that awful state of extreme weakness has taken large and powerful doss, three times a day, of No. 2, and yer, with all this purga tion daily gained strength. Amongst a numerous circle of friends her case is deemed nothing short of a miracle, and yet the pleasing prospect is she is daily ga Ding strength. 1 would fearlessly challenge all the M. D.s with all their nostrums to produce a case equal to the one above, with numbers more, which had been given up by th e M. D.s, who are now enjoying good health, who are sounding the fame of the Universal Medicine, but for Fetuses, best known to themselves, declin- coining forward in thi s public way, but are willing at any time to he re ferred to.

Dear Sir,—.-Last evening, while perusing your very interesting Journal, I found in vol. 3, p. 85, a communication to you by Professor Jacob Green, giving an account of a large qoantity of rattle snake ; skeletons found in a cave - near Princeton College. Professor Green closes his communication with a - passing notice Of a popular story among the' former inhabitants of that town, that the leaves of the white ash were obnoxious to these reptiles. This brought to my recollection an occur rence connected with this subject, of - which I was a witness; and I now proceed to relate it. During the -summer month of 1801, I re sided in' the north-eastern part of the State of Ohio: Rattlesnakes were then - very numerous in that - region', ,I found the opinion universally prevalent among the inhabitants there, that the leaves of- the white ash were highly offensive to the rattlesnake. Several persons of respectability assured me that the rattlesnake was never found on 4. The white ash grows;. that it was among KO - titers, asokell as others, whose business led them to traverse the woods in the summer months, to stuff their shoes and boots, and frequently their pockets also, with white ash leaves, as a preventive of the bite of the rattlesnake; and that they had never known or heard of any person being bitten, who had used this precaution. Some time in the month of August, I went with Mr. S. Kirtland, and Dr. C. Dutton, then residing at Poland, to the Mahoning, for the purpose of shooting deer, at a place where they were in the habit of coming into the river, to feed on the moss attached to the stones in the shoal-water. We took our watch station on an elevated part -of the hank, fifteen or twenty yards from the edge of the water. About an hour after we had commenced our watch, instead of a deer, we discovered a large rattlesnake, which, as it appeared, had left his den, in the rocks beneath us, and was slowly advancing across a smooth narrow sand beach towards the water. Upon hearing our voices, or for some other cause, he stopped, and lay stretched out with his head near the water. It occurred to me that an opportunity now offered to try the virtues of the white ash leaves. Requesting the gentleman to keep in my absence a watch over our subject, I went immediately in search of the leaves, and on a piece of low ground, thirty or forty rods back from the river, I found, and, by the aid of my hunting-knife, procured a small white ash sapling, eight or ten feet in length ; and, with a view to make the experiment more satisfactorily, I cut another sapling of the sugar maple, and with these wands returned to the scene of action. In order to cut off a retreat to his den, I approached the snake in his rear. As soon as I came within seven or eight feet of him, he quickly drew his body into a coil, elevated his head eight or ten inches, and, brandishing his tongue, " gave note of preparation" for combat. I first presented him the white ash, placing the leaves upon his body. He instantly dropped his head to the ground, unfolded his coil, rolled over upon his back, writhed and twisted his whole body into every form but that of a coil, and appeared to be in great anguish. Satisfied with the trial thus far made, I laid by the white at-h. The rattle snake immediately righted,' and placed himself in the sa me menacing attitude as before described. I now presented him the sugar-maple. He lanced in a moment, striking his head into a tuft of the leaves, " with all the malice of the under fiends," and the next mo ment coiled and lanced again, darting his whole length at each effort with the swiftness of an arrow. After repeating this several times, I again presented him the white ash. He instantly stretched himself out on his back, and writhed his body in the same manner as at the first application. It was then pro posed to try what effect might be produced upon his temper and carriage by a little beating with the white ash. This was administered, but instead of arousing him to resentment, it served only to increase his troubles. As the beating grew more severe, the snake frequently stuck his head into the sand 'as far as Ire could thiust it, seeming desirous to bore his way into the earth and mid inmself of his unwelcome visiters. Being now convinced that the experiment was a satisfactory one, and fairly conducted on both sides, we deemed it ungenerous to take his life after he had contributed so much to gratify our curiosity ; and so we took our leave of the rattlesnake, with feelings at least as friendly as those with which we commenced our ac quaintance with him, and left him to return at leisure to his den.—Silliman's American Jour nal of Science. DELIBERATE SUICIDE.—We regret to hear that Mr. Darker, a gentleman connected with the house of Orr, Robinson, and Co., of this town, has, in a rash m ,menr, destroyed himself by drowning. He went to Bray, near Dublin, anti, having deliberately taken off his coat, and left his name written on a paper, threw himself into the sea. It appears he was labouring under a depres sion of mind, as he had dclihera'ely planned his sdf destruction, having the day previous written to the house in Liverpool of his intention to do so.—Liverpool Albion. Mn. BURKE's HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH GENTaY.--We are requested to state tnat the Fifth Part of this important Work, forming a Companion to the Peerage and Baronetage, is now ready for delivery at the principal booksellers. The want of a work of this nature, furnishing an account of all the Families constituting the Gentry of the United Kingdom, has long been extensively • e i t a nd acknoa ledged ; anti it is expected that the present undertaking, founded on the most authentic sources, and aided by the most assiduous researches, will be found to accomplish in the most satisfactory manner the important object 0 quired. On Monday last a man, wrapped up in a large cloak, with his hat drawn close over his face, was waking up and down en the pier at Calais, evidently in a state of great agiration, looking anxiously from time to time to the sea, which was obscurral by a dense tog. He tour inured to himself in broke., sentences, " They must die !—lt is impossible for them to live any longer ! No signal from the sea !—What can I do !—How shall I dispose of their bodies !—Well !—They shall live till to morrow." An old sailor, who happened also to lie on the look-out, overheard the•e outpourings of a troubled mind, and at length, with the frankness of his class, asked 0 e soliloquist whose death it was be contemplated. "Parbleu!" replied the troub'ed spirit, " my 1,200 turkeys, that I have ready to send to England for Christmas Day, and which will all be spoiled if I kill them before the wind changes, and suffer the packet to go over." On Tuesday night, at nine o'clock, THOMAS STIRLING, Esq., Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury, met at the Olive Branch public-house, Craw ford-street, Portman-square, for the purpose of in quiring into the circumstances connected with the death of Mr. Henry Wisbey, a young gentleman, who resided with his father at Foot's Cray, in Kent, who terminated his existence by taking prussic acid, at N 0.68, Upper Berkeley-street. Miss Hannah Herbert, a well-dressed, lady-like young woman, being sworn, deposed that for the last fortnight she had been sojourning with Miss XVillOughby, at the house above named. She had known the unfortunate deceased some time, who was much attached to Miss Willoughby, and was in the habit of paying her occasional visits. About five o'clock 'on Monday afternoon he called, and proceeded to the drawing-room, where •he was joined by Miss Willoughby and witness. He ap peared in pretty good spirits, and entered freely into conversation. After he had sat about twenty minutes he asked for a glass of ale, and M:ss Willoughby sent her servant to procure it for him. When it was brought he asked witness to partake of it. She accordingly drank a small portion, and then quitted the room. She had been absent about half an hour, when she was alarmed by the frequent ringing of, the bell, and on returning into tile drawing-room to ascertain the cause, she beheld Miss Willoughby lying senseless on the sofa, attended by her three servants arid the deceased, who was leaning over her, and giving vent to the most heartrending grief. Witness said to the deceased, " What have you given her ?" He replied, " Nothing," in an agitated tone, which convinced witness that he had administered something of a deleterious nature, and, upon being closely pressed, he acknowledged that he had given her prussic acid in the ale. He then became dreadfully agitated, and exclaimed, " I did not mean to kill her, and, by —, if she dies I'll die too." He then bent over Miss Willoughby in the most affectionate manner, and, weeping bitterly, exclaimed, " Speak, dear Eliza, speak to me;' but she was unable to answer. He then asked the ser vant if she had given her mistress the draught which he had procured as an antidote to the poison, and was answered in the affirmative, after which be walked away to the mantlepiece. Witness then assisted in giving Miss Willoughby some more of the antidote, when, on turning her head round, she saw the deceased in the act of swallowing some• thing out of a vial, and judging it to be poison, she ran to him, and with a shriek snatched the bottle out of his hand. She then said to him, "My God, what have you done ?" when, at this instant, Miss Willoughby awakened from her state of in sensibility and got up from the couch. The. de ceased siaggered towards her, and then fell mo tionless cn the sofa without uttering a word. Miss Wilinughby being made sensible of what had hap pened, appeared much distressed, and expressed a resolution to die with her Henry. A messenger was despatched for the aid of Dr. North, who re sides next door but one, and who promptly at tended, but all to no purpose, as the deceased ex pired after uttering a few groans. By a Juror—When I entered the room at the time Miss Willoughby was on the sofa the deceased put on his hat, and was going away, but she pre vented it. The deceased called upon Miss Wil loughby about ten days previous to the dreadful event, and in my presence took a bottle out of his pocket, which he said was prussic acid, and de clared his resolution of destroying both himself and Eliza (Miss W.) with it. I did not see Miss W. drink the deadly draught. CORONER —Was the deceased jealous of the lady? Witness—Yes, very much so. CORONER—Has she lately formed an attachment to any other gentleman Witness—l believe she has. CORONER—Then he had cause to be jealous it appears ? Witness—Perhaps he bad, Sir. • Eliza Parkin, servant to Miss Willoughby, stated that she opened the door for the deceased on the afternoon in question, but observed nothing parti cular in his manlier, and he appeared pet fectly sober. She brought him a glass of ale in the diawing-room by her mistress's orders, but did riot see any portion of it drank. About twenty minutes after she had quitted she heard the drawing-room bell ring, and on going to answer it, to her astonishment beheld her mistress lying sen-eless on the sofa. The de ceased, who was a medical man, hastily snatched up a pen and wrote a prescription, and then, giving her helf-a-crown, told her to run to the nearest chymist's and gee it made up instantly. She did so, and in a short time returned with the mixture, some of which she immediately administered to her mistress, who afterwards became vety sick. Miss Willoughby was quite insensible, so that she was obliged to pour the draught down her throat; the deceased assisted in the operation. Soon afterwards she got better, and witness then withdrew to fetch some cold water. In abut ten minutes she returned, and found de ceased reclining on the place her mistress had previ ously occupied on the sofa. The last witness in formed her that he had taken poison. Miss W., who had partially recovered, seemed much affected, and expressed her determination not to survive her " dear Henry." She then left the room for a doctor. About a fortnight ago she saw the bottle now produced in the deceased's possession. Juror—Did you ever see them quarrel ? Witness —I never did. Juror—Did they appear much attached to each other? Witness—Very much so indeed. _ - Mary Parkin, sister to the last witness, arid also in Miss Willoughby's service, corroborated the fore going evidence, and added that the gentleman who had lately paid his attentions to Miss Willoughby was named Williams, and that she understood he enjoyed a high post in the army. Miss Elizt Willoughby, the lady in question, a very fine looking young woman, was next examined. She appeared so much affected at the melancholy occurrence, that it was with much difficulty her evidence could be taken. She began by stating that she had known the deceased about t hree . months, and that artery he had appeared much distressed in his mind about family matte's, and had avowed his intention of destroying himself and her too. On Monday afternoon he called, us has been already stated, and had a glass of ale brought to him. While they were sitting alone together in the drawing room, she happened to turn her back for a few seconds, when immediately afterwards he ask, d her to take a little of the ale, which she did. It had a very peculiar taste, and she had no sooner thrown the remainder of it in the ashes than she bec,me insensible, and could not tell what after wards took place. Juror—Had you any previous quarrel with the deceased ? Weness—None whatever. Juror—When did you see him last ? Witness— Ab nut a fortnight ago. Juror—flow did he appear then ? Witness — Very dejected and melancholy. Juror—Did he bring any poison with him ? Wit ness—Yes; he touk a small phial out of his pocket, which he said was prussic acid, and avowed his in tention to poison me and himself with it. Juror—What was the cause of his unrasiness ? Witness—Family matters, which precluded bun from living wi:h me. Juror—Did you see him infuse the poison into the ale? Witness—l did not; he must have done ARMY AND NAVY.

Henry Peters confirmed the evidence of Mr. Kidd, and said he was passing by the mih-pond when he saw the hat floating on the water a few yards from the bridge. He knew it belonged to the deceased, and gave it to his son, and assisted in getting the body on land. He could not tell whe ther the deceased got in by accident or design. The CORONER said he did not see what verdict could be returned but one of found drowned. If there was any evidence to prove how the deceased got into the water, or that he threw himself in , then it would be the duty of the jury to inqiure whit state of mind he was in; but he understood no one could speak as to how he got into the pond. A Juryman said some heavy shots were found in the deceased's pockets when taken ow of the ~aver. The witness Kidd tola the jury he took them out when they were viewing the pond. A Juror—We had better say nothing about that. Another Juryman—l don't see what we have to do with the state of his mind at all, as there is no evidence to prove that Mr. Cue threw hun. , elf in. The CORONER said he would examineany members of the family, or other witnesses the Jury might think proper to call, and the beadle having stated that the servant girl was in attendance, she was called in.' Jane Dodd stated that she was servant to Mr. Core, jun., and had been so about five months. The deceased lived with his son. On Sunday afternoon he Went out about three o'clock and returned at ten. Miss Carter, the sister of her mistress, let him in, but witness saw him afterward. arectly after he came in he took a light and some cold water, which he was in the habit of drinking during the night, and went to bed. He bade her good night as he went out of the kitchen. She saw no more of him after that time. On Monday morning, about five minutes after six o'clock, as she was going down stairs, she observed that the door of deceased's bed room was open, but she took no particular notice of that, as he was in the habit of rising early. She thought he was in the yard, or on the wharf by the side of the river, where he was in the habit of walk ing. Between eight and nine o'clock her master sent her to look for him, and ordered her to tell him, if she saw him, that breakfast was ready. She went down to Messrs. Mangles' yard, at the side of the mill-pond, to look for him, but returned with out finding him. Soon afterwards his body was found. A Juryman—Did you observe any difference in the deceased's manner, on Sunday night ? Wit 'less—No, Sir, I saw no difference in him on Sunday night; he was as cheerful then as he RI ways was. A Juryman—Was he in the habit of going to bed without his supper ? Witness—He was, Sr. The CoRONER said there was no evidence io prove how the deceased was drowned, though the prong probability was that he drowned himself, and put the shots in his pockets for the more speedily effect ing his purpose. He suggested this verdict—" That the deceased was found drowned in the mill-pond, without any marks of violence on his body; but by what means he got into the water, no evidence ap peared to the Jurors." .The Jury said that verdict met with their ap proval; they would ab•tain from calling any of the family; and the verdict, as suggested by the Coro ner, was accordingly signed.
