(BY ELECTRIC T6LEGRAPH.) THE DERBY. Ellington Yellow Jack 2 Cannobie Twenty-four Iran. MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Y, Two o'CLocii. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices of all kinds lean to the buyer. The sales were estimated at 3,000 bales ; 800 Surat, 4kd. to sd. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and prices improved. The Hogue, which arrived from New South Wales yesterday, is now ascertained to bring 76 ,000 sovereigns, coined in the Sydney Mint, and 2 )000 ounces of gold. A large amount is also brought by private hand. The rates charged for the negotiation of three Months' bills on the principal cities of the Conti nent yesterday afternoon ruled firm. As the course of exchange at New York on London will Yield a profit on shipments of the precious Metals to England, further supplies from that quarter may be expected, and as the arri 'als of gold from Australia are large, and l ikely to continue so, a speedy and material aug- Mentation in the stock of bullion held by the Bank nt . England may be expected. These circumstances, together with the limited demand now current for discount accommodation, and the abundant supply nt capital, have given rise to the impression that a r eduction in the course of a week or two will be made in the minimum terms now current in Threadneedle-street. Letters from Paris mention that the great na tional undertaking to drain the agricultural lands Council the country is under the consideration of the uouncil of State, and likely to receive their sane l9o. To this project the Government are to lend 0 million francs, and that they are to empower tile company to drain such lands as are necessary. T he subscribers to the loan are to be reimbursed 1 O 20 years, at the average of annuities, with the optio n of selling out in 3,4, 6, and 8 years, and W ith the interest at the rates of 3 and 4 per cent. is calculated that the expense of draining one h ectare will be about 230 f. ; that each hectare thus dr ailked will produce more than six hectolitres of !host ; and that when all the lands in France are dr ained, it will add from four to five million hec "'litres of wheat. No public sales of colonial produce have been ad- Lertised for to-day or to-morrow, and business in all departments, in consequence of the Epsom Races, is quiet.

[The simple and unaffected account of his escape from the Castle of St. Georgio, Mantua, which Felice Orsini gives in the following letter, is full of the most varied interest. The courage, resources, awl self-reliance of Orsini himself are the first things that strike the reader. Next comes the rancorous cruelty of the Austrian Government as is shown by the character of the cells in which they immure their prisoners. But the most im portant truth revealed by the letter is the moral isolation of the Austrians in their Italian dominions. In descending from his prison win dow Orsini injured one of his feet so severely that he was lamed. Day dawned, and the streets became filled with passengers before he could emerge from the Castle ditch. There could be no doubt that he was a prisoner broke loose. Yet the casual passers-by did not hesitate to help him out of the ditch and allow him to go his way unchal lenged. From Mantua till he gained the frontier was a journey of eight days. Strangers befriended and concealed him—no one betrayed him. He was an enemy of the Austrian—that was sufficient recommendation to hospitality and protection. m The Austrians, it is c l ear, are surroun d e d b y a population who detest them. Among these ene-. mies are men like Orsini, who can work their way out of dungeons in which men of ordinary mould would have abandoned themselves to despair, and whose first use of their regained liberty is to renew the internecine struggle with their hated tyrants. Against such adversaries no combination of police spies and military mercenaries can permanently prevail.] "Dear Friend,—l have already written to you that I am free ; now I will give you the particulars of my escape, the details of which have been sur - rounded by party journalism with uncertainty and falsehood. I was arrested at Hermannstadt, in Transylvania, on the 17th December, 1854, sub mitted to a long examination, and conveyed hea vily chained in a cart to Tienna on the sth January. There I underwent three long examinations from the police authorities. They knew my real name, caused my portrait to be taken, and handed me over in charge to the criminal tribunal. I did not find that my late journeys in Lombardy told espe cially against me, but my whole antecedents since 1844 were known, and my constantly manifested hatred to Austria was of great injury to me. They knew everything concerning me. The Austrian. police and her higher authorities receive re ports from all the other governments of Italy, as well as from their own military commanders of the Italian provinces, concerning all the individuals in any way politically compromised. They were how ever, unable to cond emn me l ega ll y, so they in formed me that I should again be put into the hands of the police, and confined in some fortress, and that the duration of my imprisonment -would depend upon the peaceful or stormy course of events in the political world, and upon the total inertia of the revolutionists. Such is the name by which they qualify all who either attempt political reforms or seek the national independence. " en the 25th March I was sent in charge of two gendarmes and a superior police officer to Mantua, where I was again examined by Baron Sanches. I then learned that the documents re lating to the political mission I had fulfilled in Milan in 1854 had fallen into the hands of the Aus strian Government when the Milanese committee was arrested, and that I was doomed to die on the scaffold. In Mantua I was examined at least 20 times. " On reaching Mantua, we stopped in the large courtyard of the Castle of St. Georgio. On each of the four sides is a tower, and the castle is surround ed by a ditch 7or 8 yards wide and 6 deep. On the side near the Bridge of St. Georgio is an arched way passing under the street which leads from the bridge to the city. By means of this arcade, when the waters of the lake are high, the ditch round the castle is filled with water. The whole is strongly 1 guarded on all sides by a large detachment of troops with artillery. "At the time of my escape orders were given that all ingress and egress should be forbidden be tween the hours of 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. " When political trials are going on, the pri soners most jealously guarded by Austria are always sent to the Castle of St. Georgic), and after the revolution of 1848 an express order was sent from Vienna that the fortress be exclusively used for the detention of political prisoners. The secret cells are in the upper storey, and in the lower storey are kept the archives of the city of Mantua. All the cells, except Nos. 12 and 7, have at the windows two rows of thick iron bars, about a yard apart (which will give you an idea of the thick. ness of the walls), and outside the outer row is a thick grating of iron wire. The worst cells are Nos. 3 and 4. No. 4, the smaller of the two, is the one from which I escaped. It is about six paces long, and rather more than three broad. The cells 2,3, and 4 open into a corridor guarded by eight soldiers, changed every 24 hours. There is a sentinel posted at the single door which leads to all the prisons, and the others watch the doors of the cells. At night all these regulations are even more rigorously enforced, and there is a special sentinel for the cells 2,3, and 4, who hears the slightest noise, and reports it to the keepers, who sleep in a little room opening out of the corridor which leads to Nos. 2,3, and 4. This room has two doors, and every night the door leading to the courtyard is shut, and the inner door is always closed, and has a sentinel posted on the inside. In the day-time there are three keepers charged with the surveillance and service of the prisoners. These are changed at eight o' clock every morning. One of these is responsible for the prisoners, takes them their food, and makes the daily and nightly visits, when he alone enters the cells, another meanwhile guarding the door with a chain. This last has charge of the keys of the upper and outer door, which is, as I told you, also guarded by a sentinel. No one can enter or leave the castle without his special knowledge and permission. Each of these various officers is bound to keep watch that the others do their duty, and has a separate responsibility in case of the escape of any prisoner. Besides all these, there is the capo custode, who has the surveillance over the whole; sleeps in the castle, governs and orders all, and has under him the corporal and all the men of the guard. In the night-time he keeps all the keys, and the keeper has to apply to him for them, in order to make his nightly visits to the cells. "The day visits are made at 6,8, 10, 12, 2,4, and 6 o'clock ; the night visits at half-past 9 and half-past 1. They then examine the state of the irons of the windows, the walls, &c. In the intervals of the regular visits the keeper comes in and out at all hours, so that the poor prisoner has never a moment of quiet. " From these details you can see the impossibi lity of escaping even with the help of one guard— at least three would have to be in the secret, and even then false keys would be necessary, as the keys are all kept by the capo custode ; and once out one would find oneself in the midst of Mantua, as the castle h as on l y one entrance, which leads into the city. There is, therefore, no other mode of escap e th an t h e one I took, of letting myself down from a height of thirty yards into the ditch. But how did I contrive this escape ? By patience, and the firm determination to attempt and endure anything in order to free myself to work again every possible injury in my power to the detested Austrians. Animated by this hatred to Austria, .I assumed a new character, and, after seven months of solitary and most rigorous confinement, durink which I was never allowed a light, or even a glass to take the medi cine necessary for my fever, I contrived by my quiet and uncomplaining conduct to make the guards so satisfied with me that they ceased to take the trouble to examine the bars of my windows. I had obtained six little saws of the very finest steel, but how I had obtained them the Austrian Govern ment will never know. If poor Colonel Calvi, who was confined in cell No. 1, and with whom I had kept up a correspondence of signs through the wall, had not been so soon executed, he and I should have escaped together from the castle. I had once asked the capo custode, a German, if he thought the sen tence of death recorded against me would be put in execution. He 'answered he should be sorry to awaken illusive hopes—perhaps no, perhaps yea— and that was all. ' "About th e en d o f January I was put int o ce ll No. 4, the worst in the (Sadie, and I almost de spaired of ever being able to escape from it ; the window was more than tw) yards from the ground, and to work at it I was obliged to stand on the back of my chair. The rows of iron bars were a yard ap ar t ; t h e outs i de gra ti n g being one-t en th of the distance beyond. -The bars were extremely thick, especially the inside ones, and the height from the window to the level of the ditch was 30 yards—l myself measured it with a string. " I could not work at n ight, because the no i se ' of the s aws , t h oug h very quiet, would hav e b een heard by the sentinel, w ho, after the half-past nine o'clock visit, came every five minutes to the door. I worked therefore in the day lime, and my ear had become se accustomed to the step of the sentinel that before he opened the door I always contrived to get down and put my chair in its place, and sometimes I would be walking up and down humming. I co ' vered over the marks of my work with brick-pow der mixed with black wax and bread. By thus working in the day time in the intervals of the visits, in 24 days I had cut away seven of the out side bars and one of the inside ones, where they were fixed into the wall, and from the wall I had eztre,ctecl eight bricks, whicla hid in the strata of , ustness this la:. my mattress. As for the cord I had thought of' that before. On the Ist of February I kept back, without their knowing, the sheets that I ought to have sent away to the wash, and on the Ist of March I kept back the towels which were as wide as the sheets and a little longer, and by cutting these into strips I was able, on the 27th of March, to make my cord, fastening it with sailor's knots. I let it down into the ditch to try its length, and found it even longer than neces sary. The 28th and 29th I passed with great fear of discovery, being more than usually persecuted by the attentions of the sentinel, so that I could not attempt my escape. I therefore pretended during those two days to be ill, and did not rise from my bed, for fear they might chance to examine my straw mattress. They had ceased, in my case, to examine the bars. At half-past nine on the evening of the 29th, at the usual visit from the cape custode I pretended to be asleep ; but the moment they were gone, and while they were going the round of the other visits, and so making some noise, I rapidly removed the iron bars I had cut—made up two little bundles of neces sary clothing—fastened the cord to one of the remaining bars—let it down all its length—. hid the bars had removed in the straw, and then lay still again till the second visit, at half past one. I again pretended to be asleep, and the instant they were gone I rose, and quite calmly proceeded to let myself down by the cord. When within six feet from the ground I felt I could no longer sustain myself. I looked at the depth below me, and let myself drop. A sort of swoon came over me. I however moistened my mouth with an orange I had had the precaution to have upon me, and lay for some moments quiet, to recover myself. I then dressed myself, and wan dered round and round the castle, seeking some means to get out of the ditch, but I had so hurt my foot in the fall that I could scarcely walk. I hoped to escape from the ditch into the lake, but the en trance to the lake was barred by a grating. I then endeavoured, with the help of two nails, to scale the wall of the ditch, about 6 feet high, and had almost reached the top when the foot I had hurt failed me, and I fell to the bottom. Fortunately there had lately been a little water in the ditch, and the soft mud prevented the sentinels hearing the noise of my fall. I remained there in the dread of being retaken till 5 in the morning, when the city gates were opened, and then some people went by. I called to them, saying that the night before I had been drunk and fallen into the ditch, and begged them to help me out. Somo refused, but at last some bolder ones helped me, and I was dragged out with much difficulty, as Iconic' scarcely help my self. My hands were cut in many places. I was very lame, and covered with the mud of the ditch above the waist,yet in that condition I had to cross the bridge within gun-shot of the castle. What happened after that I must not tell. In eight days I was in Switzerland, and able for the first time to attend to my foot. What the Austrians would have done or given to get me again you can imagine. Police circular followed circular, and telegraphic despatch followed telegraphic despatch. All letters were in discriminately stopped and opened at the Post office, and perquisitions made in every part of Mantua, but this did not prevent the citizens from openly rejoicing over my escape. We shall now soon meet. "May 20, 1856. FELICE ORSLNI." ,Spirit of the Public Journals. THE TRIAL OF PALMER. (From the Morning Post of this day.) That remarkable trial has now come to a close by which, for the 13 last days, so much of human ability has been employed —on which so much of justice and fairness has been shown to the wretched man accused, and at last convicted, of the deepest of crimes against society. There cannot be a sha dow of reason for the morbid cry that Palmer was sacrificed to a panic or to a prejudice. Everything that could be done in order that his trial might be a fair one was done. The place where he was tried was removed from Stafford to London, because it was said that popular feeling ran so high in the former place as to make a just verdict difficult, if not impossible. The time was adjourned until the minds of men should have had time to cool. He had the ablest counsel to defend, the best judges to try, him—a jury as free from all suspicion of prejudice as could be obtained. The case against the prisoner was stated by the Attorney-General in one of the clearest, the most calm, and, at the same time, in one of the strongest speeches that we ever hoard. It was a speech which addressed itself to the reason of the jury. It left their passions untouched. No worn-out clap-trap of sentimen talism was used to rouse their feelings. It dealt with evidence and with facts ; and it put these so logically—in so broad and clear a light—before those who had to judge them, as to leave a hard task indeed for the defence. There can be no doubt that that defence was conducted with the utmost skill, with the greatest ingenuity, with the strongest attempt at success of which the case ad mitted. It failed, as the most eloquent defence must have failed, before the facts of the case, though the question had been tried at 50 different times by 50 distinct juries. We have carefully abstained, while the issue was doubtful, from a word that might affect it—we have refrained from the shadow of a comment on the conduct of the prisoner on any circumstance, trivial or momentous, that might influence opinions on the subject so momentous to him if he were innocent, so momentous to society and to justice if he were guilty. We may now fairly and openly, with all the evidence before us, express our concurrence in the verdict of the jury ; we may congratulate them on having done their painful duty well and fear lessly. In all cases of poisoning there comes the main difficulty that much of the evidence must be circumstantial. The weapon which the murderer used is not nigh at hand. That bloody witness cannot be traced to his possession. He is not driven to ghastly expedients to get rid of the body of his victim. He has no clothes stained with the proofs of his crime which testify against him. There is nothing to convict him but the strong chain of cir cumstances ably linked together—the character, the motive, the opportunity for the deed—the evi dence that he used that opportunity—the testi mony of events before and after the death. In Palmer's case all these combined so strongly as to leave no possible escape from the facts even to the utmost ingenuity. The only point on which the defence could set up the shadow of a case was on the fact that strychnine was not found in the body, or the inference thence drawn that the deceased did not die from poison at all—that he died solely from convulsions, p ro d uce d b y natura l causes. Medical evidence was, as usual, produced in abun dance on this side of the question. It had the natural effect of opinions pushed so far as to be come absurd. No jury could believe that a man in perfect health should suddenly become the victim of symptoms such as could not be proved to have occurred except from strychnine ; unless he had taken strychnine no jury could believe, in the face of the opinions given to them, in the existence of those symptoms from any other cause, when the strongest witnesses for the defence could only bring forward something like them in constitutions strangely and singularly reduced. No set of men could in fact come to any conclu sion, from the facts before them, but that Cook died from strychnine—that poison was traced to the possession of Palmer. In two cases he was proved to have bought it immediately before the remarkable death of the deceased. No attempt was made by the defence to account for this purchase, or to state what he did with the poison. The motive for the use of it, of which ho has been convicted after the most patient and careful investigation, was unhap pily but too apparent even for the ingenuity of Ser geant Shee to conceal or distort. There was the amplest opportunity for the commission of the crime. There was the most extraordinary coinci dence between the death of Cook and the presence of Palmer. There was proof of his having broken the law in one serious particular, at least under the pressure of circumstances. Of what other crimes he has been guilty rests between him and his God. Human justice has done its pert in the long and patient investigation which has just been brought to a satisfactory close. The law has shown its su periority over the most deliberate and the best de vised appliance of the resources of crime. It is, to our thinking, a very happy thing that this is so. Had Palmer not been convicted, public opinion would still have found a verdict of guilty against him. It would have shaken the confidence of the world in the power of justice—it would have given strength to the bad man—it would have increased the temptation to the most diabolical of crimes—it would have stood as the record of the success of villany the most deliberate and atrocious, assuming the shape most terrible to man—it would have been the triumph of a crime which the boldest of us may well shrink from for its smooth, secret, and silent course. Justice was fairly matched against murder, and has fairly won its stern victory. In this coun try we do not bring the whole power of the law to bear against the defenceless prisoner. We give him every opportunity to make good his case. Every point that - aid tell in his favour is put forward by his counsel. The judge sums up the evidence for both sides fairly and calmly. He points out to the jury the strength and the weakness of either. If, after so steady and solemn au inquiry, there conies at last the verdict of Guilty, we may well be convinced of its truth— we may well concur, as we do in Palmer's case, in the deliberate and unanimous opinion of the three judges that he committed the crime laid to his charge. (Front the Daily Noes.) After a trial of unexampled duration, conducted with singular ability, the most impartial fairness, and the most exemplary patience, William Palmer has been found guilty by the just judgment of his country. The verdict by which he has been thus branded as one of the most odious and execrable of felons must long since have been anticipate' by all those who have attentively watched the progress of this most remarkable investigation. It was impos sible to read the lucid and masterly address with which the Attorney-General opened the case for the prosecution without feeling that if the evidence at all came up to the statement the prisoner at the bar was a doomed man. The evidence did come up to the statement. In the six days occupied by the case for the prosecution there was not a single ma terial witness who broke down, not a single mate rial point which was not made out. As the long detail of proof evolved itself, it was curious to watch how each fact seemed to fall into its proper place, till link by link there was substantiated in evidence that chain of circumstantial narrative which the skill of the great advocate had already wound in deadly, but polished, folds round the culprit's neck. The case for the prosecution was altogether admi rably got up. The interests of truth and society were in good hands. It is fortunate, indeed, that it was so. Had a single weak point been left—had there been any gap in the evidence—any break in that continuity of circumstances, each in itself un important, but in their aggregate effect overwhelm. ing—instant advantage would have been taken of it by the counsel for the defence, and instead of rejoicing, as we now do, at the just doom by which this unparalleled offender has been overtaken, we should have had, in all probability, to submit to the scandal and the misfortune of witnessing his escape. In a case of such absorbing interest we may safely conclude that the generality of our readers have made themselves acquainted with the evidence, as it has day after day been recorded in our columns. On the present occasion we shall only glance at a few of the more salient points. The case for the prosecution was, that Palmer had an interest in Cook's death ; that he first practised on him by antimony, and finally poisoned him by strychnia ; that all the symptoms under which Cook died were referable to poisoning by strvchnia, and to nothi ng else ; while the admitted failure to discover any traces of strychnia in the body after death was not in itself incompatible with guilt, and was utterly nugatory as a defence in the face of all the proved facts of the case. The defence took issue on all these points—but principally relied on the absence of motive, and the non-discovery of poison in the dead body. Neither of these grounds, though both were urged with considerable ingenuity and confi dence, could give rise for a moment to any reason able doubt. As to motive, it was abundant. On this point it is only necessary to recall the facts of Palmer's position on Tuesday, the 13th of Novem ber, when Cook's horse, Polestar, won the Shrews bury Handi ca p. He had long been in difficulties. For two years his normal state had been that of a man who is paying constantly increasing losses by perpetually accumulating loans. His book was al most uniformly ill made up. He had repeatedly raised money at 60 per cent. on the security of life policies and forged acceptances. In 1854 he h a d just managed to clear himself by what no one, we suppose; will now doubt to have been the timely proceeds of an enormous crime. In September of that year lain wife peritikeds and la obtikbad the 13,0001. for which he had insured her life. In 1856 he made a desperate effort to secure the same resource. In August of that year Waiter Palmer, the brother, died, just in time to satisfy the pressing claims of his creditors ; and if the offices had paid the 13,0001. for which the brothers's life had also been insured, the Rugeley poisoning cases might never have been heard of. But the offices refused, and Palmer's case at once became desperate. The usurers rapidly grew importunate. Pratt held acceptances to the extent of 11,5001., every one of which had been forged by Palmer in his mother's name. Palmer had made unheard-of efforts to carry on the battle. He had frequently sent up small remittances to Pratt ;he had imploringly pressed for time. "As well," exclaims the Attorney - General, " might a man appeal for mercy to a rabid tiger, as to a usu rer when the securities he has advanced upon have failed." On the 9th November, Pratt, tired of law yers's letters, actually issued a writ for 4,000/. against Palmer and his mother. Everything, forgery and all, was on the point of immediate ex posure. Palmer had 9/. 16s. at his banker's, and not another resource in the world. Shrewsbury races came on. He was obliged to borrow 251. in order to go there. He had a horse—The Chicken—. to run at those races ; eventually it did run, and lost. Cook's horse, Polestar, was more fortunate. On Tuesday, Nov. 13, 1855, Polestar won the Shrewsbury Handicap. Cook had large payments made to him on the course. He gave Fisher be tween 7001. and 8001. to take care of for him on the Tuesday night. Fisher returned it to him the next morning, and since that time it has never been ac counted for. Besides this, Cook was to receive in London on the next. Monday (the 19th), the settling day at Tattersall's, a sum o' 1,0201., as appeared by his betting-book. That book, which was sworn to be in his possession up to the time of his death —which Palmer must obviously have consulted be fore he went up to town on the Monday to receive Cook's debts—has never besn found since. If Palmer could procure this sum of nearly 2,0001., and appropriate it to his own uses, was there no motive here? Why, by a judicious use of this 2,0001. he could get rid of the pressure of his liabi lities until the January—he would have nearly two months' respite from the usurers ; and to the sanguine temper of a turf man, two months, under such circumstances, is a species of eternity. True, Palmer owed at that time about 19,0001. in the aggregate ; but a larger sum than 19,0001. has been made by the reckless gamblers of the turf on the issue of a single race. Time—time, was all the man warded—a month's, a week's, a day's respite was worth everything. And time he deli berately purchased by Cook's destruction. While Cook, having left Shrewsbury and returned to Rugeley, is labouring under the effects of antimony administered by Palmer, this man, who was com pelled to borrow money in order to carry him to the races, and who, instead of winning, had lost there, is found paying away money to the more pressing creditors who were harassing him at Rugeley. On Monday, the 19th, he leaves Cook ill at the Talbot, and goes himself to get paid at Tattersall's those bets which Cook has won. Every farthing of these bets is applied by Palmer's directions to getting time on the bills for whose payment Pratt is pressing him. Motive !—why it is not left to speculation. We need not ask what motive he could have had, we need only ask what he has actually proved to have done. How did he collect these winnings of Cook's f How did he procure the accurate information of the sums dile to him by different parties in town ? How—but by Cook's betting-book ? What becam e of this book ? It h as never been produced. When Palmer was asked about it by the stepfather of his victim, his reply was, " Oh, it's of no use ; a dead man's bets are void." True, but Cook's bets had been received during his life. They were taken on Monday, the 19th ; Cook died on Tuesday, the 20th. Who received them ? Palmer. Who was answerable for them ? Palmer. Who had an in terest in concealing their amount ? Palmer. On Monday, having thus applied to his own pur poses every farthing of Cook's winnings, Palmer returns to Rugeley. The antimony has been a failure—some more stringent means are requisite. It is absolutely indispensable to Palmer's safety that Cook should never rise from the bed on which he is lying to learn the manner in which his money has been applied. On his return from town on the Monday, if we believe Newton, Palmer purchases three grains of strychnine ; on the Tuesday, be yond a doubt, be purchases six grains. Of th e manner in which thi s quantity ofstrychnine was di posed of no attempt was made on the part of the defence to offer any account. On Monday and Tuesday Palmer is in possession of this deadly poison ; on the Monday Cook is seized with fright ful spasms in consequence of taking pills admin istered by Palmer: on Tuesday, within one hour after taking a similar dose, he expires in the ter rible convulsions of spasmodic tetanus. How to judge from the symptoms alone, was that teta nus caused ? Taking the whole evidence together on this point, it completely corroborates the opi nion of the most eminent surgeon of our time. Sir Benjamin Brodie distinctly declared that, referring to the symptoms themselves and the course they took, the tetanus of which Cook died was not idio pathic (or constitutional), not traumatic (or caused by external injury), but that it was referable to nothing else but poisoning by strychnia. In the deplorable case of Mrs. Serjeantson Smith, where strychnia was the undoubted cause of death, the symptoms were almost identical with those of Cook. The spasmodic convulsions, the sense of suffocation, the dying request of the agonised suffer, " Turn me over," the iron rigidity of the limbs, the fright ful distortion, the incurved body, the absolute emp tiness of the heart, were the same in both. But then in Cook's case there was no strychnia found in the body. Admitted ; but what does that prove ? One of two things, neither of which is in any way incompatible with guilt. Either that Dr. Taylor did not employ the proper tests, or that the dose ad ministered had been so nicely calculated that it was only just sufficient to kill, and was consequently all absorbed in the system. Half a grain destroys life. Experiment shows that when two grains are administered the poison can be reproduced in some abundance—when one grain is taken, it can still be detected—but when only half a grain, there is no instance in which it has been discovered. Fortunately for the safety of society and the in terests of justice, the admirable reply of the Attor ney• General and the masterly summing up of the Lord Chief Justice, guided the jury to the cardinal points through the mass of irrelevant matter in which they might otherwise have been bewildered. Nor would it be fair to omit all mention of the debt of gratitude which the public certainly owes to the jury, who for a period of 14 days have given their close and undivided attention to this most arduous and protracted case. They have manfully done their duty. The work of investigation is completed ; it is now for the law to take its course. The safety of society imperatively demands that no mistaken clemency should be shown to so unex ampled an offender against its most sacred laws as the wretch who was yesterday condemned to die a felon's death by the stern sentence of retributive justice. IRELAND. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (Prom the Report of the Registrar•4eneral.) In the week that ended on Saturday, the deaths of 565 males and 476 females, in all 1,041, persons, were registered in London. In the corresponding weeks of the 10 years 1846-55 the average number of deaths was 988. If this is raised in a certain proportion for com parison with the deaths of last week which occurred in an increased population, it becomes 1,087. The figures show that the rate of mortality last week was slightly below the average. Zymotic or epidemic diseases produced in the aggre gate 233 deaths, while the corrected average of correspond ing weeks in previous years is 242. Typhus continues to be more fatal than any other epidemic, but the mortality under any head in this class is not excessive. It was stated in last return that the deaths from typhus had risen to 76 ; they have declined to 57. Of these 57 cases, 5 occurred in the Central division, 6 in the West ern, 12 in the Northern; -19 in the Eastern, rand 15 on the South side of the river. Five men died of typhus in St. Luke's Workhouse (situated in Holton New Town) between the 14th and 22d inst. inclusive. The regis trar, Mr. Ansell, remarks that three of these were brought in a dying state, and that the disease is " very bad" in the workhouse at present. A painter was found dead on the 4th of May, at 28, Norfolk-place, Shore ditch,—a house which, according to the coroner's jury, who held an inquest on the body, contained at that time 26 persons. It is stated by the Registrar that this man's wife and 6 children lay ill of fever in the same room, but that they have since been removed. Nine children and 7 adults died of small-pox ;27 children and a person about 30 years old, of measles; 33 persons of scarlatina; 11 of diarrhoea ; 23 of cancer ; 5 of hernia ; 3 of intus susception ; 1 of spleen disease ; 2 of intemperance; 5 of delirium tremens ; an artist's colourman, aged 42 years, of colica pictonum. The widow of a tailor died in the Tailors' Asylum, Haverstock-hill, and a labourer died in Lambeth, the former at 91 years of age, the latter at 92, being the two oldest persons mentioned in the returns for the week. Last week the births of 869 boys and 895 girls, in all 1,764 children, were registered in London. In the ten c , rresponding weeks of the years 1846.55 the average number was 1,442. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29'564in. The highest reading in the week was 29 . 94 M. on Tues• clay. The mean temperature of the week was 53 . 1 deg.,which is o'9:leg. below the average of the same wo. kin 38 years. The mean temperature was below the average on every clay except Tuesday and Wed nesday, when it was slightly above the average. The highest reading of the thermometer in the week was 70 degrees, which occurred on Wednes day; the lowest was 41 degrees, and it occurred on the same day. The highest reading in the sun oc curred on Tuesday, and was 96 deg. The mean dew p.)int temperature of the week was 45.8 deg., and the difference between this and the mean air temperature was 7 3 degs, The temperature of the water of the Thames ranged from 52.7 degs., the lowest at the be ginning of the week, to 59.4 degs., the highest at the end ; and the mean was 55.8 degs. The wind blew generally from the south-west. Rain fell to the amount of 1.03 in., of which 0 26in. fell on Sunday (the 18th), and 0.65 in. on Thursday. There were showers both of hail and rain on several days. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS. NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES REGISTERED IN THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, MAY 21.

The supply of English wheat in to-day's market was chiefly composed of Monday's unsold samples, for which the demand was in a sluggish state, at that day's decline in price. We were fairly supplied with foreign malt, and most de scriptions moved off slowly, on former terms. The few samples of barley on show realised previous rates. The malt trade was very inactive, but no change took place in prices. The supply of oats was small, and the oat trade ruled steady, at only full prices. Beans and peas were firm.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. THE TIPPERARY BANK. Litigation proceeds in the law courts as well as in the Master'. office. Hardly a day passes that the affairs of the Tipperary Bank arc not before the judges, in ono form or another. Yesterday the Court of Common Pleas was for a considerable time occupied with a legal argu• went in a new action—M‘Dowell, the official manager, against Robert Keating, M.P. The amount claimed is 4,0001., for an overdrawn account. The debt was admit ted, but the defendant plea-led that the official manager had no right, in point of law, to sue him. Mr. M'Donough, as counsel for the plaintiff, argued that this plea was frivolous, should be set aside, and he sought iberty to demur. t/The Chief Justice—There is no doubt that the official manager has a right to sue in certain cases, but the ques tion is, is that right to interfere with the 33d of Geo. 11., which is in full force still I Do you, Mr. M'Donough, mean to argue that if the Winding-up Act bad never passed that this old act would not apply, because it wa■ not a bank of issue, after the decision of "Faussett v. Hodges," the Agricultural Bank case ? Mr. M`Donough said he assumed that case to be law it his argument, although he disapproved of it. Judge Ball—The Agricultural Bank was a bank of issue, I believe? Mr. M'Donough replied that it was ; and then pro. ceoded to ray that if the Court would not set aside the plea as embarrassing, their lordships should allow him both to reply and demur, in order to prevent delay. If the mailager was embarrassed by frivolous litigation he would not be able to pay a dividend to the creditors as soon as he expected. Judge Ball.—What ! A dividend ? How much in the pound ? Sir C. O'Logblen, Q.C.—There is a great chance of a dividend after a call of 401. a share being made on Saturday last. Mr. ii`D,mough said he was instructed that there would be a dividend soon if the official manager was not unnecessarily impeded. Judge B a ll—Your proceedings at law could not go on togetht r w i t h procee di ngs i n equity, and the re i s nothing to prevent a bill being filed under the 33d G eo. Mr. M‘Donough—There can be no difficulty on that subject, for the Chancellor would never grant relief in such a suit under the old statute, after the Master of the Rolls—a branch of his own c ourt—making an order under the modern statute. --- Judge - Ball--I do not see why he would not, and then you would have both a receiver and an official man ager ; and I would like to know how they would work together. Both could not collect the debts., • The Chief Jtistice—What we will do is this—we will not set aside the plea. but we will let the phLintiff both plead and demur, and direct the costs to be costs 14 thil CAM. s re- . by Ds of ng, ere tnd itin Bhr. !00 100 le iou 130 1100 a n IGO 100 1M 100 22 FOR: JUN. 17} 10 I 30 9Si I all all 10) 100 All all all 18$
