In City circles be was backed freely during the morning, and at "The Corner" 12 to 1 was taken about 'him to some money. These odds were, however, currently offered at the close. The investments on Wentworth at 3 to 1 exceeded 1000/ , and backers, hardening in confidence, were evidently willing to go on. Fazzoletto was in considerable request ; 5 to 1 was taken to severel hundred p ou n ds. At half a point higher the outlay in his favour would have been greatly increased ; 8 to 1 was offered against Cannobie, and 9 to 1 taken about Artillery. In the early part of the afternoon 10 to 1 was booked to 501. about Coroner ; subsequently 11 to 1 was laid, and at last 12 to 1 was offered. Several inquiries were made about Fly-by- Night, but we did not see him backed ; 15 to 1 in fifties would have been betted. At 1000 to 30, 30 to 1, and 25 to 1, t h e investments on Ellington amounted to ab.bift 7001. ; 30 to 1 was his closing price. The odds quoted again t the Prince was taken to 1001.

The Russians arc equally hopeful that they will have a chance 'of war , in a short time, and they do not disguise their earnest burning lust to phlebotomise Austria, " A utriche• lathe et ingrate." The evacuation of the Crimea is taking place with rapidity, and, if it 'desirable, there can be no doubt that the allies can leave the, soil of the , Czar long beiare the time which has been gra°Otedato us—six months after the conclusion of the treaty—haa exp:red. The Tartars beng in terrible stories of the revenge taken by the RussianS on those unfortunate bre thren cf theirs who have given aid to the allies, or have been engaged in their service. They tell us that several of. these Noe creatures have ,been binged at Simpheropol, that 'others have been sent off in exile, and that more are condemned to .work on the roads for life. , Could not a word be said to avert the wrath of Russia, and to induce her to extend her clemency to the remnants of this miserable race? During the recent excursion of General Windham, in the Banshee, to Kertch and back, an incident took place which shows very clearly the real character of the Russian Govern ment, and demonstrates the worthlessness of the professions which it makes. Prince Gegarin, who holds a command on the south coast, was extremely polite in all his communica tions with Major-General Cunyngharne and the other English `officers at Kertch and Yenikale, and promised them, every facility should they be desirous of visiting the interior, or proceeding to Sebastopol liy land. He also specially invited all English bfficers to visit him at Kaffa (Theodosia) in their way; • General-Windham, beinginformed of these little pelite nesses, resolved to pay a visit to Kaffa on his way back from . Kertch. : On entering the bay on which the town is situated, they were' astonished to perceive a fleet of many sail of merphant vessels lying, in quarantine, and they soon were Made to understand that the Banshee was in a similar disagreeable situation. Most of these -ships had gone up the Sea of e zoff to ,Taganrog, and had been sent back again all the weir to Kaffa to perform quarantine. The usual quaran tine station for the ports in the Sea of Azoff is Kertch, but as that place is in the hands of the allies and as the Government establishment is desteoyed, the Russian authorities have for the present selected Kaffa as a substitute, and vessels bound from the south and east willl have a considerable detour to make from the true course, but that is better than being sent back altogether. This is a valuable commentary on the statements which have been made that the Czar has given orders to the Minister of the Interior, etc., to remove all re strictions 'on trade—exports and imports. When General Windham and staff were permitted to land they were - placed in a 'small room with bars to the windows like a wild beast ce ge,a regular quarantine prison in fact, and when hehad pre pared a note for Prince Gagarin it was taken from him through the bars by a pair of tongs: The Prince, allgold lace and fea thers, soon made his appearance and received his visitor with great cordiality and politeness through the bars. He re gretted that his orders were so strict; he dared not permit the General to visit the town without performing quarantine, but if he came round by land he should be most happy to receive him. Meantime he bad sent off a letter to the Gene ral Commanding-in-Chief, and an answer was speedily re turned to the effect that the General's order from the Ministers were so exceedingly stringent that he could not relax them, notwithstanding his most earnest wishes to do so. General Windham in the course of his interview thought it necessary to apprize Prince Gagariu that he had seen enough to convince him it would be right to advise the Com= mender-in-Chief to keep possession of Kertch till all our stores were withdrawn—an intimation which seemed not a little to perplex and confound his Excellency. It appears that General Luders had expressed a wish that in the interest of trade, Kertch should be evacuated as speedily as possible, and that steps were being taken to remove the Turkish troops, whose presence was especially objectionable • but, as General Windham observed, if the port were handed over to the Russian authorities before all' the stores were removed, the vessels which were sent for them would be placed in quarantine, and great annoyance and delay would be experienced. - Colonel M'Mnrdo returned from Trebizond on Thursday night, and has had the rare good fortune to find near the city a good market for his best horses and mules. It appears that the main road to Persia passes from Trebizond through a small town, the name of which I do not know, where the great horse fair for Asia Minorto su ply the merchants with pack and saddle.animals is held, and we have just been luoky enough to meet the demand for transport which has arisen, no* that peace is proclaimed. Col. M'Murdo has received very fair prices for all the animals he could sell, and in some instances he got more than the original cost price. Our excursions into the Crimea aro becoming rarer as curi osity becomes satisfied, and leave more difficult to be obtained for lengthened absence. General Codrington has paid a visit to fhe Alma, and most of us who could go have performed a pilgrimage to the same place. The graves are scrupulously respected and are marked with large stones. The inscription on the stonetele,graph tower Cut by the French, " La Bataille d'Alma. 20th September, 1854," has been altered to " Bth September" by the Russians, to reconcile the date to their old style. The Russians are returning our visits now, and some unfortunate officers who, in the height of goodfel lowsbip and amid flowing bumpers, gave their name and an invitation to their .boon companions to " come and stop a week with me, and bring your friends and family," have been horrified by the vision of a couple of droskies at their tent doors, containing a whole bevy of fair Musco vites and their attendant lieges. Major Montague, of the Eugineer. , , is entertaining, at his 'pretty hut on Kamara-hill, a number of Russian ladies who were kind and attentive to him when.he.was a prisoner in Simplieropol, and is fortunate in being able to evince his sense of their humanity and good nature. Although the greatest cordiality exists between. the bulk of the men of both the allied armies, there have been some awkward rencontres between the French and the English ou two cr three occasions, of which I have hitherto made no mention, as the subject is one of extreme delicacy. It ap pears quite clear that the French are very ready to resort to the use of firearms on such occasions. The first of these affairs which has been brought under the notice of the shiers of the two armies took place some time ago at Kamiesh. It appears that some men of the Mail Staff Corps went out to hunt rats iu the neighbourhood of one of the French redoubts, and that as they appr.ached the parapet they were fired upon by the soldiers inside. Lieutenant Budgen, staff-adjutant of Kazitch, ran out of his hut on hearing the shots fired and proceeded towards the redoul - t, and when he was chal lenged be' replied in French, " officier Anglais." He was at once fired upon three times in succession. On finding out what had taken place he sent on board one of the men of war for assistance, and when reinforced by a naval officer and a small body of Marines unarmed, he approached the re doubt, invested it, and captured the men inside, but some of them escaped, and appear to have attacked and killed the serjeant of Marines in their flight, and .to have wounded an officer by a shot through the leg. I shall not dwell on the details further than to state that the serjeant's brains were knocked out by blows of a musket stock, and that the officer was, when lying on the ground, charged by a soldier with the bayonet. General Codrington referred thesease to Marshal Pelissier, and the latter, after a long and minute invest ga tion, sent back the result of his inquiries to head-quarters to wards the close of last week. It is understood that the Mar shal considers the unfortunate affair does not call for any sanguinary punishment, but that the excessive vigour of the measures taken by the men on guard was justified to such an extent as to hold them blameless by the orders they had received for the safeguard of their post. The second occasion took place at one of the wells in camp,-from 'which men are forbidden to draw water after sunset and before sun rise, and which is guarded by French sentries. Some of our sOldiers went down after dusk to draw some w4er. The sen- try fired ou them with ball, and his comrades of the guards turned out and contributed a volley, but fortunately they hurt no one. The third instance of this sort occurred the n i ! i g v h i t sio b n et:o L re oi llsb,.. w. w r h , e u n i t e h t, e s c en om t u m p an a d p i i n ck g e g t e t n o er b a n l: n o g f s t o h m e e L m ig e h n t into campasho were drinking at a French canteen. As our men approached to execute their orders they were fired upon with ball. The circumstance has been reported to General Codrington for the information of Marshal Pelissier. It is posit le that the bare statements of facts respecting these un fortunate affairs do not convey their true character, and that there may be some inaccuracy in the reports. Let us hope there is. A French sentry is rigid in obeying his consign. Surgeon Le Blanc, of the 9th, was killed by a sentry, whom ho approached too closely at night, and I have seen French officers treated with rudenet.s and imperiousness by common soldiers en faction when the former have been in the slightest degree infringing les foOmalites de la poste. Perhaps it i s on ly right that the utmost precisiou on all such matters should be observed during war time. We are not without our own internecine fights now and then, but we certainly do nor use firearms so promptly as the French. The removal ,of the Zouaves has given more peace and quietness to the line, as there were a sort of rivalry between the infantry and these famous regiments, the latter of which 9rofessed to look down on all men in red pantaloons. • There have been some discreditable,transactions in our own ca mp lately, which have led to the retirement of two officesa from the army, as notified by general orders. In one instance an officer was detected in the act of reading a private letter addressed to a brother officer; in the other a gentleman forgot how to write his name. General Codrington has a gentler touch in such matters, than General Simpson. The latter had three officers ‘ cashiered by court-martial.in as m any weeks after he was appointed Commander-in-Chief ; in the present cases the punishment is the same for each offence, and is therefore unequal, for the magnitude of these offences is not the same- My diary extends from the 6th to the 10th of the month. TUESDAY. The 63d, which was seen off by General Garrett this morn ing, embarked in the Andes, but the .sea was so high and tho swell so heavy that it was not deemed expedient to send her to sea, and the vessel remained at anchor till the roll which set in on coast had subsided. Brigadier Showell goes back to the Sth Hussars. It was this gallant and excel lent officer who, beyond any other, saved the remnant of our cavalry at BAlaklava, when his attention was called to a movement of Russian Lancers by Lieutenant Phil lips, of the same regiment. He has received the honour of the C. 8., and now returns to the command of his regi ment. ,After all that has been said to the contrary, it ap. pears that the Colonels who held the rank of Brigadiers will. have to rejoin their regiments. The belief that this " degra dation" would have been spared them for a little time was general a short time ago, and it is now ascertained to be groundless. Brigadier-General Van Straubenzee will return to the, command of the 3d Buffs, unless he avoids •doing so by getting leave of absence before they embark on Saturday. However, he, and officers in the same category, are cheered by the hope of the brevet to come, and by the refreshing showers of the Bath which are expected to accompany it. In a few days the sailing transport, Star of the South, a .fine ship of 1,100 tons, laden with gunpowder, will leave for England. She has been lying inalaklava harour about 18 months, during which time she never moved b an anchor, and she has cost the country, at a rough guess, about 22,0001. for that time as the freight on her cargo and her hire at so much per mouth. I believe she was. at first hired at 325. 6d. per ton,. has erved a kind of oatin. hotel for ttohne.n atlBs. per ton, and that she now stands at 16s. somep t of the harbour naval officers and agent fl s, for g travelling gentlemen, and merchants. She bas been at least once on fire —that is, she has been in the way of finishing Balaklava, and i w u e .n a o r d e o c u o b n t c b e e rn n t nt w a i i t n h ed on ti e la g t r t e h a e t andwhale thatenr e stroke o Couldcoon 'lama have coup perhaps d e poultre; tlre war at i f t ari t a w s been got for anything like the money, v s e h s i s p e a as t a Constantinople ra n g aog hulkse aonfdtnhoe The Bishop of LICHFIELD presented several peti tions against the abolition of Church' Rates, and also Petitions against the opening of places of amusement on Sundays. Lord RAVENSWPRTH rose to call attention to certain circumstances 'in connection with the projected approaches from Pall-mall to St. James's-park, and the defects of the east front of St. James's Palace. The noble lord objected to the contemplated removal of the German Chapel, believing that it was not calcu lated to confer the advantages of relieving the traffic at Charing-cross, which it was stwposed it would do. He thought that the abolishing the toll of Waterloo-bridge would be far more likely to relieve that crowded thoroughfare than the proposed alterations in St. James's park. The noble I ird . then went on to say that he thought the time had arrived when some im provement might to be made to the east front of St. James's Palace. It bad an appearance at present highly discreditable. He thought that an attempt to follow out the style of building in the now hall lately erected in Lincoln's-inn could , be made, and, at the same time, it would greatly improve the appearance of the royal pa lace. At present it was a building utterly unworthy of this great country. The-interior arrangements were also highly objectionable, the confusion created in the lobbies and staircase on the occasion of her Ma jesty hdding a drawing:l.3oin was such that the safety of the ladies attending alone ought to be of itself sufficient to cause some alteration to be immediately made. As it was a' proper time, when it wad contem plated to improve the approaches of the park, to consider whether the court-yards attached to that building might not be dedicated to better and more -advantageou.s. purpose, od whether the - riot palace might be rendered - 1 W yof the metro polis,m i f both to its internal ebellisbin nts and external accommodation. Tne noble lord then'proceeded to take objection to the position of the statues that at present ex- ' isted in the metropolis. The statute of Pitt in Hanover-square, he said was exceedingly bad, as was the case with the statue of the Duke of Kent in Port• land-place. It looked like a small black man hiding himself . behind some trees. He thought that it would be paying a compliment to her -Majesty,if the statue of her royal father was removed from its present position, and placed in a. more appropriate site near Buckingham Palace. The noble lord next alluded to the pictures bequeathed to the nation by Mr. Tur ner. The pictures were at preise'at stowed away in a cellar, although they were worth their weight in gold. He had lately seen three pictures by that eminent artist sold for 5,000 guineas. , Llrd LAN.SbOWNE said the pictures alluded to were in a place of safety until a building worthy of the arts could be erected for their reception. [LENT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS--(This Evening.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 5 mioutea to 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Blackburn, itc. Roads, Colns Valley and Halstead Railway, Cork Bridges, Waterworks, &0., Fleet wood, Preston, and West Riding J unction Railway, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway (Ex tension of Time, &c.), Shrewsbury and Hereford Rail way, Stockton and Middlesbrough IJew Road and Bridge, Yarmouth and Haddiscoe Railway, and Perth Burgh and Harbour Bills. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Ha,uptead Junction Railway ; Metro politan Rail way ; Mid-Kent Direct Railway (Bromley to St. Mary's Cray) ; and Westminster Terminus Rail way. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. HAYTEII, a new writ was ordered for Lichfield, in the room of Lord Waterpark, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. THE REFORNIERS OF TEIE WORLD. Mr. ROEBITJK presented a petition from the re formers of the world signed by Mr. Robert Owen, whom be looked upon as a well-intentioned man, praying that the views of the society might be adopted by the house and the people for hastening the arrival of the mil lenium—(laughter)—and also another equally im pertinent and silly petition from the Investi gation Society at S'iefriald, cimplaining that " the Plenipotentiaries at Paris had emceeded their duty." (Laughter.) If that was not plain speaking he did not know what wa , , but as the petitions were both respect fully worded towards the house, he had no objection to present them, although he . differed from both.

The symptoms of Cook's death are those that would occur from strychnia, but there would have been premonitory twitching. The stiffness of the neck might be considered such. Re-examined be y Sergeant Shee—Cook's case was one of real epilepsy. llis sitting up in bed would arise from the sense of suffocation, and might be considered as a premonitory symptom. Benjamin Ward Richardson, examined by Sergeant. Shee—l am a physician practising in London. 1 have never seen tetanus, idiopathic or traumatic, but many of convulsions. I have known them when ending in death assume a tetanio form ; the lower muscles of the body have been contracted, the arms stiffened out and hands elenched until death, a sense of suffocation coming to the patient. In some forms there has been contortions of the feet and legs. As long as the patient was conscious he was most desirous to sit up. People do die of angina pectoris, and the death would closely resemble that of Cook. It is of the class of spasmodic disease, and a post mortem examination might or might not show causes as if there was disease of the heart, but it might not show any symptoms to account for death. A case occurred to me in 1850. I attended a child 10 years old ; she had scarlet fever, and was. getting better, when I was sud• denly called in, and I went and found her dying. She was in the arms of her sister. She was pale, the muscles of the face and arms were rigd. Her fingers were clenched, and the respiratory muscles were fixed and rigid, and she evinced extreme agony and restlessness, such as I never before saw. She line.~ me, and most eagerly took some brandy-and-water from me. I left to go to my own house, about2U yards off, and when I came back her head was drawn back and her eyes fixed open like a statue. Baron Alderson—Was she dead SUFFRAGAN BISHOPS. The Marquis of BLANDFORD asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether, in consequence of the state of health of several of the prelates of the Church, who are nohsppily disabled from attending to their dioceses, it was the intention of the Government to take any steps t, •t in f ",b- if the Act 26 Henry VIII., -,nsecration of Suffragans whether the subject is ttention of her Mai, sty's providing a suitable re- al addition to the ques iuse would believe him with the noble marquis lops. (Laughter.) He d, and he was sure the bishops were removed Laughter.) It was the hter)—to find that the so much with tem they had always ob- popular and necessary measure. (Laughter.) He felt satisfied Churchmen would be pleased to see them out of that house, and the Church established would be benefitted by it. He wished to know if the sutject had engaged the attention of G.) vernment,and if, the noble lord intended to make any Alte ration in the w ty he (Mr. Hadfield) suggested! (Laughter.) Sir J. PAKINGTON said it was necessary to the interests of the Church that something should be done with reference to the inability of right rev, prelates to attend to their duties. He thought the precedent of the Indian and Colonial bishops might be betieficially ap plied to the 'English bishops. Mr. 0. STANLEY said that the Act of ',26, Henry VIII. could only be put in force at the request of the Bishop himself. He alluded to the correspondence that had lately been published with reference to him self and the Bishop of Bangor, which it was to be re gretted had been made public for the sake of the Church. That corre p mdence wag published at the request of the Bishop, and therefore he felt no delicacy in alluding to it, and to ask the noble lord to give some assurance that means would be taken to pre vent such a repetition of conduct on the part of the right reverend gentleman alluded to. The right reverend gen tleman he believed had been led to act as he had from the infirmities of age, &c., under which he was labouring, and it was to be regretted that a gentleman, whose mind was one time of the highest order, and who was a man eminent for his charity and virtues, should have so lost all control over his temper as to have scandalized the country with such a correspondence as that he bad published. (Hear, hear.) Wttnes—She was. A post mortem examination was made, and not anything found to account for death; the heart was quite empty, so much so much so that I said it I , oked as it it bad been wa,hed out. The parents told me that the had been unusually well that evening and had eaten her supper and jumped into bed, when she was seized. Cross-examined by the Attorney-General—The nature of the disease is still an open question, Dr. Jemner ,-tate; angina pectoris to arise from ossification of the coronary vessels of the heart. Mr. Baron Alderson—Why is it called angina pec toris Lord PAL(VIERSTOg—The matter, as mentioned by the Marquis of Blandford, had been for some time, and was, under the consideration of the Government, but it was a question beset with difficulties. [LEFT SPEAKING.] Witnes—From anguish, or pain of the bead. The pain is extreme, as if the chest was fixed in a vice. From his experience with angina pectoris and what he hadread of death from strychnine, he could not see that there was any difference. It is not .usual for the attack in angina pectoris to be only one attack, but it will kill in eight minutes. The clenched state of the hands after death depends in a great measure upon the mind, and actions of the person at time of death. Re-examined by Mr. Sergeant S'mee—A. patient, if he had a relapse from an attack of angina pectoris, would be in perfect health between the att mks. • Dr. Right , 4m was recalled, and asked by Sergean S- THE RUGELEY POISONINGS. bee if, when strychnia is absorbed, whether it would be collected in parts of the body and absent from oth era ? —He said it would he diffused equally.

(Continued front, our First Edition). Upon the reassembling of the court, the Attorney General cross examined Dr. M‘Donald, who said I am a general practitioner, but am parochial medical officer. I have had two cases of idiopathic tetanus. I . . saw Catherine Watson about half-past ten at night, she had had about five or six spasms, and had gone about her usual duties up to the evening of the attack.. She did nut complain of any suffering. I had one case of a child, which wai in health half au hour before the convulsions came which terminated its life. I 'was first spoken to about this case in January, and since then I have made experiments.- The duse has been from one-half to three-quarters of a grain to two grains. I could not destroy a dog with half a grain. Tile heart is generally full from the rush of blood from the smaller vessels into the large cavity. I have always found more or less con gestion of the brain, which depends much upon the state of the stomach. As far as I can judge from the symptoms I have heard described I should Pay Cook's death arose from epilepsy. I have seen one death from epilepsy. Tee patient was not conscious. The cause of epilepsy has never been clearly ascertained: In all epileptic deaths there is a complication of tetanic spasms. Mental excitement might ha4e caused the con vulsive attack. It is within the range of probability: Cook was very much excited, and consequently af terwards depressed. These white spots upon the stomach indicated inflammation, and which might have influenced the brain. Ido not believe the evidence which bt4tes tisane was no might follow sansusl excitement. Epilepsy has ixteup during the excitement, and I have heard the descriiid of Co'o'k's mode of life: Tat, Attorney General—But the sensual excitement would nut cause epilepsy a fortnight afterwards. This and another question of the learsTed Attorney-General upon the same' point cAuqel much laught,:r iu the court, and some clapping'of hands. Mr. Baron Alderson—l heard just now some one clapping hands ; such conduct is highly disgraceful. Here is a man being tried for his life, it is disgraceful: Tne Attorney General, then, with some warmth, cross-examined the witness at some length t1f,012 the general character of epilepsy, and the effect which opium would have upon a person predisposed to epilepsy. The witness said it would be most I;kely to accelerate the symptoms, and the effect of morphia would depend upon the peculiar idiosyncracy of the person taking it, and would accelerate rather than tranquillise wheat here was a disposition to congestion of the brain. Re-examined by Sergeant Shee—From what I have read I believe there have been cases of epilepsy where the patient has not entirely lost his consciousness. Epilepsy is sometimes so sudden that the patient fails down with a shriek. It very often occurs at night in bed. A patient may frequently suffer from epilepsy during the night and be quite well next day. When an adult is sexed for the first time, several fits follow in succession. From Dr. Bamford's deposition I inferred that Cook was under a state of depression. I should infer from the fact of Cook's imagining himself mad for a few minutes that he had been seized with some sudden cramp or spasm, but supposing there was no cramp, and supposing that Cook meant to speak the truth, itshowed that there might be some disturbance of the brain. I don't believe that the white spots could be puesentin thestomach without inflammation existing also. I have examined a case of this kind very carefully, and have arrived at that opinion after mature study. Dr. Bainbridge —I am a doctor of medicine, and medi cal officer to St. Martin's Workhouse. I have had considerable experience in convulsive disor ders. There is a very great variety in the symptoms. They also vary as to periodicity and effect. There was one case I knew where a man was attacked twice, at the expiration of a year, precisely the same day and hour. I have only heard the witnesses that have been examined to-day. By the Attorney-General--Hysteric convulsion very rarely ends in death. I have known a case of such. It occurred in St. Martin's Workhouse. The patient had had a series of attacks of the same complaint for years. On the last occasion he had been ill only a few hours before I was sent for. I was told that he was attacked with sudden convulsions five minutes before he died. There was clenching of the hand to a small extent. I cannot undertake to say it was a death from apoplexy. It was more like epilepsy. The man whose case I have mentioned was subject to the attacks, andlhad been so foryears. There is not always a loss of consciousness in hysteria. I have known the patient to speak after the paroxysm. I have seen cases of traumatic tetanus. I have known 6or 7 cases of epilepsy end in death. - - By Mr. Grove—l have ascertained by inquiry alter the patient has recovered that consciousness has been retained. Mr. Austin Steady—l am a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. Ir, 1854 I attended a patient for pleuristhotomis, which is a curvature of the body sideways. Convulsions came on during the paroxysms. The patient was seized with the same disease 12 months afterwards, and she continued unwell for about a week. The disease, I was told, arose from excitement —a quarrel with her husband. I did not dis cover any other cause. By Mr. E. James—l did not ascertain how long the patient hail been suffering when I was called in. I learned that the woman had had a blow on her side while quarrelling with her husband. It was not de scribed as a violent blow, and I observed the trismus setting in at the time. She was under my treat ment for a fortnight, and the rigidity of the muscles continued the whole of the time, and she then got better. I was ealled again to the same person in about a twelvemonth afterwards. I attended her for a week, and she had trismus the whole time. She has net yet recovered. She has now tetanic twitching of the limbs. I cannot define what the particular cause of disease is. I saw the patient yesterday. Dr. Geo. Robinson— I am physician to the Newcastle upon-Tyne Hospital. I have devoted much time to pathology. From what I have heard of the symptoms of Cook's death, I ascribe it to convu;sions resembling tetanic ones. There is nothing in the whole study of pathology so difficult as that which has reference to the cause of convulsions. I have seen post mortem exatnina- Lions of those who have died of convulsions, and could not trace any cause of disease. The presence of gritty granules in the region of the spinal cord would produce convulsions. There is a disease known as spinal epi lepsy, and one of its peculiarities is the periodicity of its return. It will assume a tet anic character. The mode of life which I have heard Cook led would predispose a person to such attacks. I have prescribed strychnine medicinally. Cross-examined by Attorneys General—l have seen 20 cases, but I have not seen anything in epileptic convul -:ons where the body , if laid horizontally, would rest upou the head and the heels, but I have seen oodles quite stiff, but have never seen them assume the LONDON GAZETTE—(This Evening.)

GREAT SCULLgRS' RACE FOR 200 SOVEREIGNS. KELLY AND MACKINNET. This exciting match, which for the last. three months has created the greatest interest iu aquatic circles, took place yesterday afternoon over the usual course, from Putney to Mortlake, and was attended by an immense nmal3er of spectators. No fewer than eight steam-boats were chartered to accompany the race, and all were well patronised ; the towing path along the bank, Hammerswith-bridge, and every point where a view of the race could be ob tained were also crowded. The weather, although showery and dull in the early part of the day, cleared up beautifully about half-an-hour before the time of starting. The preliminaries havi g been arranged, the umpires and referee were chosen—Mr. J. Salter for Kelly, Mr. Jackson for Mackinney, and Mr. Edward Searle referee. The toss for choice of stations having been won by Kelly, at four o'clock the men appeared, each lookin g in first-rate condition and full of con fideucc). A considerable amount of betting took place at 5 to 4 on Kelly. The signal having been given, a very oven start was effected, and each man exerted himself to the utmost to obtain the lead. Off Searle's Kelly had succeeded in getting a load of about half a boat's length. On reaching Craven Cottage he had increased his lead to two lengths, and at the Crab Tree to three lengths ; and on passing Hammer smith-bridge he was leading by six lengths—Kelly ultimately winning easily by twenty boats' length, doing the distance in 25 minutes 35 seconds. • The time from Putney to Hammersmith Bridge was 9.lmin. ; to Barnes Bridge—Kelly 2U miu., Mackinuey 221 min. The victor was loudly applauded by the nume rous spectators assembled at Mortlake. The arrangements on board the steamers, under the management of Mr. Searle, the celebrated boat builder, were admirably conducted. MANCHESTER, MAY 22.
