M.D. LA TV INTELLIGENCE—May 14. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH. LIBEL-- LEVITE V. LEDGER. This was an action to recover compensation in da mages for a libel. . Mr. Sergeant Thomas, Mr. Pearce, and Mr. Prowett appeared for' the plaintiff ; Mr. Collier, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins conducted the case for the deence. Mr. Pearce, in opening the pleadings, said that Mr. L. Levite, a member of the theatrical profession, was the plaintiff, and Mr. F. Ledger, the proprietor of the Era, was the defendant. The declaration stated that the libel complained of was published in the Era, and that it was injurious to the plaintiff in his professional character, and iu the opinion of his friends. To that the defendant pleaded not guilty, and on that plea the plaintiff j riued issue with him. Mr. Sergeant Thomas stated the case, and said it was an action for libel on the plaintiff, who was a ballet dancer. The circumstances arose in this way. The plain tiff was engaged, and was about to take a benefit at the Garrick Theatre, and had put himself in communication with a printer named Till, about the printing of his bills of performance and tickets. A question arose between them as to whether Till was to receive the whole of the amount of his claim, but that person however agreed to take one.half the amount. Till, however, after matters were so arranged, instead of carrying out the agreement, went into the County Court, Sh.ireditcb, which was pre sided over by Mr. Sergeant Manning, and the case was proceeded with in the absence of the defendant, against whom the learned judge made an order for the amount claimed, 1/. 19s. On the 23d March, the plaintiff's atten tion was drawn to the Era, a paper remarkable for re porting and noticing theatrical proceedings—and in that paper the libel complained of appeared. It purported to be a report ofa case in the Whitechapel County Court, and was so full of absurdity that it turned the plaintiff into ridi cule, and caused him to be called after both in and out of his profession. That was more than any man could stand, whether poor or rich ; and it would be for the jury to say, when he read the article complained of, whether the man attacked was libelled or not. Than he (Mr. Sergeant Thomas) no man could more rejoice at the freedom of expression and opinion exercised by the newspaper press. It was good and wholesome as long as it was not licentious, and the harm which it did was very little ; but, if it unjustly libel a man, and by invention publish that which is calculated to injure him in his professional pursuits, and turn hint into ridicule, then it descends to licentiousness, and inflicts unwar rantable injury. Ile would read the libel to the jury, purporting to be a report of the proceedings in the case of "Till v. Levite," in the Whitechapel County Court. and leave the jury to form their own opinion of it ; first, however, observing that if any man made a speech in a court of justice which was not supported by evidence it would be very unfair in any party to publish a report of it ; and if any man publish the invention, whether for party purposes, or from motives of spleen, or otherwise, and turn the assailed party into ridicule, then it was right that such a proceeding should be checked, as of the licentiousness and not the true liberty of the press. The learned sergeant then read the libel complained of, as he proceeded, commenting on the "laughter," "loud laughter," "roars of laughter," and "shouts of laughter" with which it was interlarded. It was headed "White chapel County Court," and ran as follows :-- "THE PRINTER'S DEVIL AND THE HARLEtIIIN.—TILL V. LEVITE. "This action was brought in the Whitechapel County Court by a funny little printer, of 22, Commercial-road East, to recover It. 194. for printing 3,200 theatrical bills and admission tickets. Tne case caused consider able merriment. May it please your lordship—ha! hem ! hem !—I am the plaintiff in this action, and, as a theatrical printer of some experience, I ought to have guarded mv , ,eif against being here. The defendant, Lewis Levite—inter nos, his right name is Levy, but, as there never was a distinguished star of that vulgar name, he has changed it, without royal licence, to Levite. lam thus particular, as if, when John Gregory, your officer, cells upon him, he should find it c ,nvenient to drop his fashionable name and take up his old clothes. Now, this distinguished man was the harlequin at that distinguished theatre, the Royal Garrick. lie appeared in the Northern Imp, an appropriate piece to his merits for cheating a printer. Oil the 22.1 Jan. he had his benefit, and I printed his bills and tickets,but first told him it was to he a ready money transaction. He asked me to wait until his benefit was over, `Catch a printer marrying a columbine,' said I, 'no, no, my boy, it will be no benefit to me it I wait for a harlequin ; so, if you cannot stump up on deli very, favour the Queen's printer with your patron age, or, perhaps, the Morning Advertiser will pull you through.' Oh, for the matter of that, Mr. Till,' he replied, ' see how law the funds are'—he meant the Garrick al the time—' and it would be a loss to sell out ; but if I pry you ready money, I shall expect a discount.' This I agreed to; and when the printing was done, I called Ginger—as wide-a etake a printer's devil as ever stepped into an office. ' Ginger,' I sail, " you've cut your eye teeth, and the expedition you are now going on requires you to throw your bed away. (Loud laughter.) The gentleman whom the printing is for ais harlequin, and you kno w what slippery customers toey can be if they like. Now, on no pre tence whatever do you let go one of these bills until you get 1/. 9s. good coin of the rsalin." I will try them all with my teeth first, sir, says Ginger.' (Laughter.) To my alarm, the lad did not return ; and when I did get sight of him, I found that 11Ir. Levite, assisted by souse congenial sprits, had got the printing,- and Ginger had no: the chance of testing the purity of the coin. It seemed, from Ginger's tale, my lud, that Mr. Levite's k heels eclipsed the honours of his head of the benefit tickets made him more lithesome than usual, for at one bound he jumped through the stage-door, and left my ‘devil' in wonderment where he and my printing had flown to. Mr. Levite's benefit proved a bumper, no doubt through my printing—(laughter)—and upon my calling the next day for my money he gave me a note of hand, and his address-15, Fetter-lane. I find they know nothing of him at Fetter-lane, arid I wish to my 1 heart's content I was as happy as 15, Fetter-lane. (Loud laughter.) Noe, my iul, don't you think lam to be pitied—done by a harlequin ; but it's all through Ginger. (Roars of laughter.) The Judge—l shall make an order for it to be paid in e week, with costs. The printer and his devil then left the court to test the har lequin's coin with their teeth—when they get it." Now, that was :the libel of which the plaintiff Cam ' plained, and he (Mr. Sergeant Thomas) would show that it was throughout an invention, and that nothing of the kind occurred in the court. He would call the learned judge who presided in the court to prove that nothing of the sort occurred in his court, on the occasion referred to ; and lie would show that a letter had been written to the defendant by the plaintiff request ing an apology ; and had the defendant taken notice of that letter, arid expressed his regret that the unfounded report had by inadvertence been published in his paper, the present proceedings would not have been instituted ; but he took no notice of the plaintiff's letter. The learned gentleman then called Mr. T. Bennett, of Sornerset-House, who proved that Mr. Ledger, the defendant, was the registered proprietor of the Era. Mr. Sergeant Manning examined—Deposed that he is judge of the Whitechapel County Court, that he remem bered a plaint in which Levite was defendant, but that he had no book containing notes of any such case as that which was reported in the Era, arid was the sub ject of this action. Thi'4 eloped the plaintiff's case. Mr. Collier having declined to call witnesses, Mr. Sergeant Thomas addressed the jury,' and sub mitted that he had proved his case, and expressed hopes that the jury would award the plaintiff adequate com pensation in damages, for the injury he had sustained.' Mr. Collier submitted that hi.; learned friend bad not made out any case at all. He had not shown whether the libel was published by the defecdant, and had not called the plaintiff, and even Mr. Sergeant Manning hal no recollection of the case. Mr. Hawkins followed on the same side. Mr. Justice Erie said the only evidence in support of the case was that the man who wrote the article com plained of had used the surname Levite, and that the defendant in the alleged cause had the same name. Mr. Sergeant Thomas—lt was put in issue that Le vite appeared in court, and defended the case ; and the defendant in this case was proved to be the proprietor of the Era, in which the libel appeared. The learned ser geant then callad Mr. Hudspeth, a comedian, who deposed that he had read the article in the Lra, and that he knew it referred to the plaintiff, who was a good ballet dancer and a good harlequin,*with whom he-sympathised. Cross-examined by Mr. Coil►er—Have you ever been a harlequin ? Mr. Hudspeth—l once played harlequin. Mr. Collier—And that accounts for your sympathy I Mr. Hudspeth—Yes. (Laughter.) Mr. Collier--But the plaintiff will not suffer by this article, rather it will, as a harlequin, raise him still higher. Mr, Hudspeth—l am very glad to hear it—l know him, and he is a good dancer and a clover harlequin. Mr. Collier—Would he jump through a deal board ? (Laughter.) Mr. Hudspeth—No, but he can go through a " trap." (Laughter.) Mr. Sergeant Thomas—Whether in a wainscot or side wing., or above or below ? Ni;. Hudspeth—Whether up or down, or above, or below. (Laughter.) Mr. Collier then addressed the jury on the evidence in support of the plaintiff's case, and he sail he could not see how this calumniated harlequin, as his learned friend called him, was injured by the article in question. Why did not his learned friend call his injured harlequin ? Because he knew he could not stand moss-examination. "There was but one step from the sublime to the ridicu ehae stthtba had through be c ould e c ln ou nd ld "trap," jump,igr a n p a t P ," and his l earne d f r i en d' s speech showed that. His learned fri en d said that the plaintiff had been libelled as t sr l r ap o bp u oe g vr h ye a o, . d a b al e board, low ; r that d! aohalqulin ; eat that be was so inj ured in his profession that he could not get an engagement. Nov, he (Mr. Collier) must e ' d if whet a n s t o gay that be had looked through the article, ,and that a., far from its being calculated to injure the plaintiff Ps a harlequin, it was of a character to herve him ; and as to the term that he was a'. slippery harlequin," that was the highest recommendation, and no libel. A harlequin ought to be " slippery," and an "eel" was "slippery ; " but it was no libel to say so. He, therefure, submitte that there was no case—no injury done —and that the jury ought to find their verdict for the defendant. Mr. Justice Erle, in summing up, said that any writ ing which was of a nature and tendency to lower a man in the opinion of his acquaintances, or that tended to bring him into ridicule or contempt, must be, and ought to be, a libel. One of the plaintiff's witnesses said that the plait. tiff; after the article appeared, had been " badgered' by hie acquaintances. A letter had been written to the do• feadaut, alai probably if the editor of the paper bad said, " he regretted that the article had been admitted through want of care," the action would not have been brought. If the jury were of opinion that the plaintiff had good ground of complaint, they would give him a verdict which would enable him to say that hi 3 rights had been a&cied, and that the verdict of a jury recognised the in jury. The jury conferred together in the box, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff, datnageg,lo/. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—May 14. THE RUGELEY POISONINGS. [A_ part of the following appeared in oar impression of yesterday.] The court having resumed, the first witness called was Ishmael Fisher, who was examined by Mr. Edwin James, Q.C. He stated that he was a wine merchant, and was in the habit of attending races. He had known John Parsons Cook, the deceased, for two years. He (wit ness) was at the Shrewsbury races, when Polestar, the property of Mr, Cook, won the handicap ; on which day he saw Mr. Cook upon the course, and he then appeared in as good health as ever he saw him. While he (wit ness) was stopping at Shrewsbury he lived at the Raven Hotel. He knew the prisoner well ; he and Cook were stopping at the same hotel ; they occupied an adjoin ing room, which was only s , parated by a thin partition ; they occupied also a sitting room. On the occasion of his entering the room one evening duril,g the races he found Mr. Palmer, Mr. Cfiok, and Mr. Myatt They had grog before them. Mr. Cook had some. It was brandy and water. He (Cook) asked him to it down, and a short time after Cook asked Palmer to have some more grog, upon which Palmer replied, " I shall not have any more until you have drank yours." Cook said, "I'll drink mine." He then took the glass up, and drank it off. After he had drank the grog, in about a minute after he said, "There's something in it ; it burns my throat dreadfully." Palmer then got up and took up the glass, and sipped up what was left, and said there was n ,thin~ in it. He ( witness) should imagine there was about a teaspoonful lett, as he had to tip up the glass. At this time Mr. Reade came in, and Palmer handed the glass to Reade and asked him if there was anything in it. He also was handed the glass by Palmer, and they both said there was so little left that they could not tell, but he (witness) thought there was a strong scent about it. Lord Campbell —Did you put it to your lips Witness--No, my lord. Lord Campbell—How, then, do you know about the scent? Witness—By the smell, my lord. Examination continued—Palmer shortly after retired from the room, and Cook told him he felt very ill and very sick, and he asked me to take his money, and he then handed witness his cash, which amounted to about 7001. or 8001. in Bank of England notes. The money was given to him merely to take care of, and very soon after Cook was taken very sick again. When he came back, after retiring, he said he bad been again very sick; he asked me to go up to his bed-room, and I did so. Mr. Jones, a stationer, went with us into the bed•roorn and deceased was so ill that I thought it right to send for Dr. Gibson. We stayed with deceased un till two o'clock in the morning. We sent a second time for Dr. Gibson after he had seen deceased a second time. Deceased was more composed. We administered the medicine which Dr. Gibson bad sent him. Upon going down into my room the next morning I found Cook there, and he complained that solne one had said that he (Palmer) had given Cook something in his brandy and water, or something of that sort. Palmer said, "I did not ; Ido not try tricks of that sort." He said, " I can tell you what he was ; he was d—d drunk." Cook was not drunk the night before, but had been drinking previously to my seeing Palmer. Tnat morn ing Cook. had coma into my bed-room. He looked very ill. I gave him his money. I saw him that afternoon upon the Shrewsbury race course. I used to pay ins debts as his agent when deceased did not pay them himself. When he was upon the race course I saw he had a betting-baok in his naud. His winnings at the Shrewsbury race, in the proper course, I should have received. 1 nal a ivanced 2,0001. to pay Pratt, and sn(iuld have repaid myself tnat out of wilat, I might have received upon behalf of the deceased. Cross-examine I by Mr, Sergeant Shee—He never re collected paying any money to Palmer in which Cook had a joint interest. He recollected Polestar won the handicap about an hour after the races began at Shrews bury. He saw Cook on tne course after the race, and he appeared to be mach elated. Polestar won the race easy. When he went into the room Cook asked hilt to take something, and ordered some brandy for him. He would not swear he did not take some thing to drink, but he did not recollect doing so. When he took up the glass it was empty. No thing could be ascertained as to what it eoutained. I had been at the Unic.irn. I dined there about the usual time. Ido nut recollect seeing Cook at the Uni corn before the race. I did not see Cook at the Red Rover. It was about nine in the evening that I saw Cook at the Unicorn. Ido not know that many con nected with the race had been taken ill that day. I had a friend that was taken ill, but it was not the earns ill ness as that of Mr. Cook. Ido not recollect that the Thursday was very wet ; it might have been cla , np un derfoot, or that it was wet the day before. I heard that prisoner and deceased had breakfasted together that day. I did not know that they left for Shrewsbury. I received the letter about the 200/. for Pratt upon the 17th. The deceased did not seem to treat Palmer with so much re- spect, but I do not know that there was any estrange ment between Palmer and Cook. I believe they were partners together in racing matters, but I have not had any positive knowledge of it. Palmer hart a horse in the race called Chicken. It ran the last day of the race, and lost. The deceased was not more excited than per sons usually are who have won a race. Polestar ran in the handicap. Thomas Toneg, law stationer in Carey-street, said he was at Shrewsbury races in last Nuvensber, and lodged during his stay at the Raven. He arrived on Monday, the 12th. Cook and Herring, Fisher and Gravat were present. Cook appeared perfectly well, as he did on the Tuesday and Wednesday. Late at n;ght on Wednesday he went to the Raven, and Cook came into his (witness's) room and invited him into his. He went there and found Palmer and other persons present. After the party broke up Fisher came to him and told him something about Cook, in consequence of which ►ie went into Cook's bed-room, and found hiin complaining of a burning in his throat, and he was vomiting. Some medicine was brought—pills and a draught. He gave a portion of the medicine to Cook. It was a small quan tity, mixed in a wine glass. On the following morning, between 6 and 7 o'clock, although he was still in bed, he said he was easier and better. He did not notice how he (Cook) looked. Mr. George Reid examined by Mr. Bodkin, of Far ringdon-noarket, stated he was intimate with both Cook and Palmer. He saw Cook on Tuesday on the Shrews bury race course. He was then in as good health as he ever knew him to be. On the day following he saw him and he appeared quite well. 'He stopped at the Raven. When he went into the room in which Cook and Palmer were, there was brandy and water on the table. Almost immediately after he entered the room he saw Cook was in pain, and beard him say to Mr. Palmer there was something in the brandy and water. Redid not see him drink any of the brandy and water. Palmer banded him (witness) the glass to look at, but there was nothing in it. He said to Palmer " Whre, is the use of banding him the glass when it is empty." Cook then left the room, and he did not see anything of Cook that night. On the fol lowing morning, about 11 o'clock, he again saw Cook ; he was up, nod in hi-4 sitting-room. He did not make any complaint, but Mr. Howard said he was very id. Cross examined by S irgeant Shee—Cook a lways ap peared to be in good health. He was not a strong man, but he never heard him complain. Mr. Baron Alderson—Ydu had some of the brandy and water, didn't you? Witness—Yes, my lord. By the Attorney-General—He had known Cook some time, and had never known him to be prevented by ill health from following his pursuits. W. Skaif Gibson, assistant to the surgeon at Shrews. bury. On the the 14th of November last he was sent for to go to the Raven Hotel at Shrewsbury. It was between twelve and one in the night. He saw Mr. Cook in his. bed room, but he was not in bed. He complained of pa j iei,iix the stomach, and he likewise said he thought be had been " poisened." His pulse beat about 90. His tongue was pbrfectly clean. The abdomen was distended. He ordered an emetic, when Cook said he could make himself sick with warm water. A pint of warm water was brought, which he drank, and he then said he could make himself sick with a tooth-brush, which he eventually did. He ex amined the vomit and found it perfectly clean. He sent Mr. Cook some pills and a draught. The pills were composed of rhubarb and calomel. There was about three grains of calomel. The draught was composed of a compound of senna and other ingredients. In about half an hour after he had given the medicines to Reid he gave to Mr. Jones some other medicines, but he did not see Cook after that evening. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—He did not notice anything in what he had vomited. He was excited by drink, but not drunk. The•fact of ima gining he had taken poison would excite any person. The remedy he prescribed he considered correct. By the Attorney-General—lf thare was anything the matter with the stomach the tongue would •be die coloured. Elizabeth Mills, the chambermaid at the Talbot arms in Rugeley. The prisoner practised as a medical man there. On Thursday the prisoner and Mr. Uook arrived, and he then complained of being poorly. O n Friday he said he was .no worse, but he was not well. When Cook came in about half-past twelve, she asked him if he was any better since ,he had been out. Hs sail the felt no worse. He had that evening been dining with Palmer. On going to his room be asked for his medicines; and a light to read by. About 8 o'clock Palmer came over to the Talbot. He ordered a cup of coffee for Mr. Cook. He gave his coffee to Cook in his bedroom. Palmer was present, and she gave the coffee into Cook's hands, but she did not see him drink it. On examining the apartment she found the coffee had been vomited. The utensil was standing on a little table by the side of the bed. She could net remember making any remark to Palmer or Cook. There was no jug with toast and water in the room on the Friday,but on Saturday a jug not belonging to the house was sent down from Cook's room with a request that some fresh toast and water might be made. ;She wa,.. positive the jug did not belong to the Talbot Lon, and that it was brought from Cook's room. Palmer 'crag in and out Cook's room that day about five or six times, and she heard him tell Cook he would 6944 1 -- gr A male broth over , au4 ihortly &Ramada olle saw the broth in the kitchen. She was sure the brotht had not been made in the Talbot Arms. On the broth arriving it was taken up by the barmaid. About ten minutes after the broth had been taken she met Palmer on the stairs, and he asked her if Mr. Cook had had his broth. She told Palmer she did not know any had come, when Lydiaßarnes came out of the commercial room and said she had taken the broth to Cook, but he had refused to take it. Palmer then said to her, "Go fetch the broth, Cook must have it." She accordingly fetched the broth, and took it to Cook's room, in which Palmer was, and she left it there. She was quite sure the broth was the same that Palmer sent, and that it was not made in the Talbot. She found this broth had also been vomited. On the same evening, about six o'clock, there was some barley-water made for Mr. Cook in the hotel, which she took to him. She could not state whether that stayed upon his stomach—sometimes it would, and sometimes it would not. At eight o'clock on Saturday some arrowroot was made in the kitchen, which was taken to Cook. Jerry Smith is a friend of Palmer's. I asked Cook the next morning how he felt. He said he had slept since 12, and was better. Between twelve and one some broth was brought over, not ready for drinking, for Cook. I took it up and tasted it, about two spoons ful ; and about an hour after was taken sick, and vomited violently until about five. When I went to bed I had vomited a great many times. I had been quite well before, and had not, that I know Of, taken anything to make me ill. I got up again about six. I saw Cook again that evening ; he seemed better, and was in good spirits. He went to bed about ten, The - broth made him sick. The next morning I took Mr. Cook up a cup of coffee ; that was about ten. About seven I saw Palmer coming down stairs, as if he had been to see Cook. Cook got up about one ; he shaved and dressed himself, as if he was going out. He said he was better. I saw him have some arrow-root, which did not disagree with him. The coffee did not make him sick. Cook's jockey and trainer called that day to see him. I did not see Palmer azain upon that day until the night. Palmer came to the Talbot between 9 and 10. Palmer Eat down in Cook's room, and she never saw him till a quarter before twelve. On Monday a pill box was brought about eight o'clock. Miss Bond, the housekeeper, gave it to her to take to Cook's room. She did so, and placed the box on the dressing table. The box was wrapped in white paper, and on that day she had not seen Palmer since the morning ; but Palmer went into the room after she had left the pills on the table. She went to bed between 10 and 11, when shortly after she was called up, and she heard violent screaming. She heard him first scream as she was dressing herself. She slept in the storey above Mr. Cook's room. On en tering Cook's room she found him sitting up in bed, and he desired her to fetch Mr. Palmer directly. She said Mr. Palmer was already sent for ; and she then walked to the bed side and found one of the pillows on the floor. She picked up the pillow and asked him to lay his head down. He was beating the bed clothes with his arms stretched out. Cook said he could not lie down, or he should be suffocated, and he then called out very loud, "Oh, fetch Mr. Palmer." There was a sort of jumping or jerking about the head and neck, and indeed all over the body, and sometimes he would throw himself about the bed. His breathing was very difficult, and both his eye-'balls very much projected. He could by this time scarcely sneak, but he screamed two or three times ; he kept continually moving and knocking himself about. Ho called aloud " murder"—he repeated the word twice. He asked me to rub one of his han'ls, and she found it stiff. It war the left hand ; it was quite stiff and did not move in the slightest manner. As soon as Cook thought she had rubbed his hand sufficiently, he thanked her for it. Palmer was in the room while she was rub bing his hand. Cook was quite conscious, and while she was rubbing his hand she observed his body twitching. He recognised Palmer, and said " Oh, doctor, I shall die ;" and he replied, " Oh, my lad, you won't." Palmer then left the room, and asked her to stay by the bedside. In a few minutes the prisoner returned, and brought some pills, and he also gave him a draught from a wine glass—first the pills and then the draught. When Cook took the pills he s,id they had stuck fast io his throat and he could not swallow them. Palmer told her to give him a little toast water. When she gave him the water his body was still jerking. When she gave him the liquid he snapped at the spoon and took it be tween his teeth. It was very difficult to get it back, as hs held it so fast. The water passed down his throat. Palmer after this handed him the draught. It was a dark, thick, heavy looking liquid. Cook snapped at the glass just as he had done at the spoon. He swallowed the draught, but it was vomited immediately, and as she held his forehead over the utensil she smelt the vomit; it was like opium. Palmer sail to her he hoped the pills were not there, and he searched with a quill for them but could not find them, and then he desired her to take it away and look over it to see if she could find the pills. She did so, but did not fins the pills. After the utensil had been empti,d it was brought back to the room, and afterwards Cook seemed a little easier. From the time she entered the room until be became easier, it would be about half an hour. After Cook had become more composed he asked Palmer to feel his heart how it beat. Palmer went to the bedside, but she could not say whether he felt his side, but he said to him it was all right. When she left the room about 3 o'clock Mr. Cook was not then asleep, but Palmer was asleep in the easy chair. About 6 o'clock the next morning, upon going into Mr. Cook's room, he asked her if she had ever seen anybody suffer as he had done the previous night. She said no, and he then replied hehopedshe would never see anybody like it again. She asked him what he thought was the cause of the attack, and he said, " The pills Palmer gave me at half-past 10." She did riot think anything else was said. On this occasion he seemed perfectly composed and quiet, but his eyes were very wild. There was jerking or twitching of the body. At about 12 o'clock on that day he sent over to Palliser to see if he might have a cup of coffee. Palmer said he might, and that it would be over immediately. When she took the coffee up Palmer was in the room, and he took the coffee and tasted it, he said, to see if it was too strong. She left the coffee in Palmer's hands and she afterwards left the room. Mr. Jones then arrived. During the evening she saw Cook, and he appeared iii good spirits, and talked about getting up the next morning, and ordered the barber to be sent for. Some arrow-root was given him that evening. She did not see Cook after half-past ten, at which time Palmer was in the room. She gave him some toast water at the door, and Palmer then said to Cook " Can this good girl do anything more for you to-night?" arid Cook said " No," and bade me good night. She did not go to bed that night, but sat up in the kitchen, as she was anxious to see ho w he got on. Whileshe was in the kitehen the bell of Mr. Cook's room rang violently at 10 minutes past 12, the same hour as on the previous night. She im mediately went up stairs and found Mr. Cook sit ting up in bed. Mr. Jones was supporting him, and immediately she went into the room, Cook said, "Oh, Mary, go for Mr. Palmer." She went to Mr. Palmer's, and ring the surgery bell, and the pri soner came to the bedroom window ae soon as she rang the bell. He did not open his window, but opened a small square of glass, and spoke to her. She knew his voice, and was certain it was he. She told him to come over to Cook immediately as he was much the same as he was the night before. She was in the bed-room when Palmer came, anal on enter ing the room, he said he had never dressed so quick in his life hefore. Cook was still sitting up in the bed, and Jones was still supporting him. She waited on the landing, and in about a minute or two Palmer . came out and said he was not so ; he went in the direction of his own house. Palmer left the house and returned in a short time and re-entered Cook'. room. She then went to the door and she heard Cook ask to be turned over on his right ride. She was not in the room at the moment of his death, but was there a few minutes, before Mr. Jones . was attending on him. He was supporting and be bad his right arm under Mr. Cook's head. Palmer was feeling Mr. Cook's pulse, and he said to Mr. Jones, " His pulse is gone." Mr. Jones placed his hand to the side of Cook's heart; he lifted up his arm, but he never spoke. Palmer told her to go for Dr. Bamford. Dr. a-milord came, and on his eoming down stairs she met Min, and he told her he was dead, and was so when he arrived. Witness then sat down on the stairs, and after about ten minutes Mr. Jones came out of the room, and said " Mr. Palmer wants you," or words to that effect. She went into the room while Cook was lying dead, and Palmer was there alone. She said to Palmer, "Is it possible Mr. Cook is dead ?" Palmer replied, "Oh yes, he's dead." He said nothing more. He asked her who she thou g ht would come to lay him out. She named two women she thought Mr. Palmer knew, and he said those are just the women, and he directed her to fetch them. She had seen, during the time Mr. Cook was lying ill, a betting-book. It was a dark book with a gold band—not a large one. It bad a clasp on on a e n d, and was longer than it was broad. It had a pencil and case on one side, and she had seen him with the book before this time in the possession. of Cook. The last time she saw the book was on the Monday night before the attack. It and Cook asked her t o i was lying on the looking-g!asd, give him the book and pen and nk, as he was going to write. She gave him the things. She had searched every place and could not find the book. On the Tuesday night, ten minutes after C'ook's death, she went into the room an d found Palmer with a coa t she had seen Cook wear searching the pockets, and he also searched under the pillow and bolster. She saw two or three letters lying on the chimneypiece, but she never saw those papers left. She had seen those letters on the shelf while Cook was alive, but had not seen them since, The Court then adjourned till 10 to-morrow morning. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, NEW CROSS. —At a time when the enthusiasm of Englishmen has been excited by the recent magnificent display at Spithead so typical of our old naval renown, we would once more call attention to the proposed erection of a swimming bath, at the Royal Naval School, New Crosq, where so many of the sons of the gallant defenders of our country are receiving the blessings of a valuable education, Since we an nounced the gracious contributions of her Majesty and Prince Albert, we are happy to state that amongst other donations of smaller amounts the following liberal contributions have been received ; Earl Man vers Washington, 101. 10 s . ; t h e Earl 101. 108. ; Captain of Yarborough, 51. ; the Marquis of Tweeddale, 51.; Capt. Kent, 77th Regiment (a former pupil) 51., and General Sir John Owen, R.M., 3/. The amount sub scribed is 2701., but it has been found that the cost of erecting a bath of adequate dimensions and suitable ac commodation with the requisite warming apparatus, will cost 4501., a larger sum than was originally contemplated, but which the friends of the service wilt, we trust, sup ply. If adequate funds be not forthcoming at Midsum mer the Council will no doubt feel reluctantly com pelled, rather than erect an unsuitable bliildiPz ) to de. for tho proj,ot for a for mu* loDgor..

On Saturday week a tornado sprung up from the Jersey shore, cutting this city with its edge, but doing no great darnage. It passed over Philadel phia, doing great damage, particularly in the dis trict of Kensington. Five houses were utterly de molished, 150 more were injured; these included five churches, a schoolhouse, three manufactories, and other substantial buildings. Nine persons were seriously injured, and the loss by destruction of property amounts to one hundred thousand dol lars. Twenty freight cars were blown down a street grade a distance of 100 yards, and then thrown off the track. The tornado passed through Pennsyl vania to Ohio, and, following the line of the Cleve land and Pittsburg Railroad, did great damage in Alliance, Damascus, Salem, and other towns. One town in Columbiana county was reported to be in ruins. At Alliance one man was killed outright and several persons severely injured. At Newark, New Jersey, considerable damage was done. The tornado continued its ravaging strides, crossing the Ohio border, and striking upon Chicago. Here 31 0 great damage was done. In passing through Penn sylvania the tornado traverseda strip of country probably 50 or 60 miles in width. At Lancaster a bridge, which cost 50,000 dollars, was blown down. From Pittsburg to Cleveland the blow seems to have reached its greatest force. The railway runs for a long distance through dense forests, and, confined in this cut, the wind had resistless force. The tor nado seems to have been governed by the lave which the philosophers have deduced from minute observations. Its course was regular, and ex tended over nearly a thousand miles of country, through which it passed in a few hours. It was a curious natural phenomenon, and will, doubt less, attract the attention of the savants.--New York Herald. LIST OF SCOTTISH COMPANIES' PRICES. Dividend Amor.nt Name of Company. I per of Paid.

We extract two out of many thousand expressions of gratitude from invalids :—From the Dowager Countess of Castlestuart. 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 irritability of many years' standing. This food deserves the confidence of all sufferers, and may be considered a real blessing. Inquiries will be cheerfully answered.—Trevagler, Gulval, near Penzance, Feb. 20, 1851.—Eighteen years' nervous debility, violent pa!pita- Eon of the heart, throbbing of the temples, violent pains on the left side and back, shortness • of breath, cough, numbness of the extremities, cramps, spasms, flatulency, retching, and such general weakness, that I was consequently fearful o fall ing when on my legs, all these symptoms have been removed by Du Barry's excellent Revalcnta Arabica Food. —MART GELBERT In canisters, 51bs., lls.; 121b5., 225. ; super-refined, 11b., 6s. ; 21bs., lls. ; 51bs., 225. ; 101bs., 335.
