Yesterday the representative vestry of St. Pancras asssmbled in the new vestry hall, King's-road, Camden town ; the Rev. T. Dale, M.A., the vicar, in the chair. The minutes having been read and signed, Mr. Churchwarden RORER said, in allusion to the conduct of Mr. Wilkinson in the Central Board, that he never intended the observations he bad made at the pre vious vestry to apply personally to that gentleman. All he wished to conbray was his decided opposition to the principle of a man getting elected to a board with a view to obtaining a paid office. _ _ Mr. WILKINSON begged to assure the gentlemen pre sent that in the course he had taken .he was not ac tuated by mercenary motives. (Hear, hear.) When he first met his colleagues at the Central Board, that body was an incongruous assemblage of persons totally un known to ehols other. His colleague, Mr. Corrie, intro duced him to some of the members. He (Mr. Wilkin son) was appealed to amidst the confusion, and the ves try would pardon him if be said that it was owing to Lim that the business of the board was so conducted as to eall forth complimentary notices in the journals. (Hear, hear.) Subsequently he (Mr. Wilkinson) was elected secretary pro tem. The chairman, with several other influential members of the board, then soli cited him to become a candidate for the permanent secre taryship. His (Mr. Wilkinson's) reply was that he was not in a position to do so, but ultimately yielded on it being represented to him that the representatives of six of the most influential districts had signed the requisi tion. He had done all that lay in his power to promote the business of the board, and when he laboured hard in assi-ting the chairman, in drawing up reports, keep• ing minutes, and conducting the correspondence, to the entire satisfaction of the chairman and the board, he lit tlethought that he was laying the foundation of so cruel a charge as that which had been made against him in that vestry. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that he sought the office. That was not the fact. True, he was put forth as the metropolitan candidate against the City man. All that he had said was that he was willing to accept office if it was for the benefit of those who had sent him into the board. Mr. Wilkinson reminded the vestry that there was nothing in the act of Parliament to prevent a mem ber of the board becoming a candidate for office. He bad become a candidate upon public grounds. The ques tion of the intercepting sewerage was one of the greatei-t importance, and involved a difference in the cost of be tween 800,0001. and 1,000,0001. He had, therefore, felt it to be his duty to do all that he could that the new board should come to a decision on that question un biassed, and so secure that end had he come forward. It was entirely a question of principle, not of person. There was no candidate who had a chance of being elected to the office except Mr. Woolrych, the represen tative of the old system. and Mr. Wilkinson, the repre sentative of St. Pancras and the new system. (Cheers.) Mr. Wilkinson then read letters from the leading members of the board, all of whom gave him credit for disinterestedness ; he alluded more particularly to letters from persons who were his opponents, and concluded fly earnestly appealing to the vestry to acquit him of all unworthy motives, and to show him, by their expresi.ion thatk thatr be might again take his seat among them VM" the f la,P delight and pleasure he hitherto had done. Mr. Wilkinson concluded amidst loud applause. Mr. W. D. COOPER had taken no part in the discus sion against Mr. Wilkinson, whom be believed bad never asked one man to' vote for him. But it was to be regretted that by Mr. Wilkinson's conduct, St. Pancras would notle fairly represented when the important ap pointment of engineer was to be made. Mr. WILKINSON explained that the appointmetit would not, in his belief, be made at the next meeting, and so there was time to reappoint a member before the lestion. Mr. M. A. GARVEY then moved the following resolu tion : —"That this vestry having heard Mr. Wilkinson's statement relative to the circumstances attending his ' e signation of office in the Metropolitan Boardo f Works, is of opinion he has done nothing to forfeit the confi dence we reposed in him." Mr. Churchwarden FARRER seconded the resolution. He had never intended to attack Mr. Wilkinson, but to oondewn the principle. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. WILKINSON acknowledged the compliment, which he said be received with gratitude, feeling that it amply atoned for what bad passed, aad resumed his seat amidst loud applause. It baring been agreed that the nomination of a new Member to the central board should take place forthwith, and the electian next. Wednesday. Mr. sittzamt nominated Mr. Wilkinson, and trnsted that there would be no attempt at a contest, as that gen tleman "---d done nothing to forfeit the good opinion of the vestry. • • Mr. ARUM Seconded the nomination. Mr. Biltrnisumuf nominated Mr. Eckett. That gentleman 1 7 0 01 consider hi m self in the place of a trus tee of the parish, . and would never seek nor accept office. (Hear, heir.) Mr. MORNIRWON seconded the nomination. The election will take place on Wednesday next. ADJOURNED INQUEST ON WALTER PALMER. RUGELEY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The circumstances of the alleged Rugeley poisoning cases by no means diminish in interest, but, on the con trary, the further the investigation proceeds the more important does it become, as showing the deep-laid schemes on which William Palmer proceeded in his career. The extraordinary addition to it that has taken place in the recent proceedings in Westminster Hall, where Palmer voluntarily admitted that he was guilty of another high offence against the laws of the country, is looked upon in this town as furnishing a most impor tant collateral link in the evidence against him, as it will evidently strengthen the belief that he did not hesitate to raise money by the most unjustifiable means, making, as he alleges, his departed wifean instrument for his purpose. Although by his acknowledgment the sum of 2,0001. has been saved to his family, the consequence of his doing so must have much more important effects as far as he is personally concerned. There has been a good deal of talk here that the bodies of Mrs. Wm. Palmer's mother and the commercial traveller Bladen will be exhumed, but that report at present we believe to be entirely pre matere, and that no step will be taken for that purpose until the present inquiry is concluded. This morning the coroner, Mr. Webb Ward, and the jury re-assembled at the Town Hall, Rugeley, at half-past ten o'clock, and soon after the hall was cro irded by per sons anxious to hear the additional evidence. Mr. Deane, as before, attended on behalf of the vari ous insurance companies ; Mr. J. Smith, to watch the case for Mr. Win. Palmer ; and Mr. C. Lewis, of 48, Bedford-row, Holborn, for Mr. Pratt. It will be remembered that the inquiry was adjourned on Tuesday week for the further attendance of Dr. Tay lor, of Guy's Hospital, Dr. Day, of Stafford, and Mr. Pratt, of 5, Queen-street, May-fair, the latter gentle. man being supposed to be the holder of the assignment of assurance of 13,0001. on the life of Walter Palmer to Wm. Palmer. On the jury answering to their names, Mr. Deane said that immediately after the adjourn ment of the inquiry the Home Secretary instructed Dr. Taylor and Dr. Rees to again attend the inquiry, and, as there had been some evidence given after they left, in which was described the symptoms attending the death of Walter Palmer, he suggested that the evidence of Dr. Day and that of Walkenden and his wife should now be read over. The Coroner assented, and said that he had seen with great regret a number of statements in the public press reflecting on his conduct, the jury, and the town, which were entirely without foundation, and he trusted they had not emanated from any person then present. On a future occasion, as soon as this inquiry was terminated, he should be quite ready to give a full and complete ex planation of his conduct. (Applause in the court.) He then read over the evidence of Dr. Day, Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Parkes, Lucy Walkenden, and Thomas Walken den, which has already appeared in this journal. The reading of these depositions occupied a consider able time, and on Mr. Deane requesting the evidence of the witness Whyman (who spoke to the purchase of prussic acid by Wm. Palmer at his master's shop at Wolverhampton) to be read, Mr. Smith asked if the witness was in attendance ? Mr. Deane said he was not, but he would be present at half-past 12 o'clock. Mr. Smith then said he must altogether object to his evidence being read in his absence. He had his reasons for objecting to it, and he thought he should be able to show when ha arrived that the whole of the evidence he had given was an entire fabrication. Mr. Deane did not persist in it being read, and the matter dropped. Mr. Smith also objected to the evidence of other wit nesses being read for the information of the medical men, er that they should form their opinion from them. The Coroner overruled the objection, and said the medical men were entitled to know what evidence had been given. Mr. Deane wished the coroner to read certain portions of Mr. William Palmer's diary, but Mr. Smith objected to any extracts being read from it. If any part of it was read he demanded as a right that the whole of it should be put in evidence. Mr. Deane had no objection to Mr. Smith having a copy of the diary, and he expressed himself satisfied with the arrangement. Mr. Benjamin Thurlby was called by Mr.Deane—Ho said—l knew Mr. William and Mr. Walter Palmer. I remember the day on which Mr. Walter Palmer died. It waseon a Thursday, but I do not remember the day of the month. It was on Ludlow race day last year. Mr. William Palmer told me he had a horse running there on teat day. When William Palmer left Rugeley on that morning he told me he was going to Ludlow races. By Mr, Smith—l do not know he went to Ludlow, but he told me he was going there when he started. Mr. Samuel Henry Campbell—l am a physician and surgeon, and reside at Stoke-upon-Trent. I knew the deceased Walter Palmer ; I was his medical attendant from June, 1853, to June, 1854. When first I attended him in 1853 he hid an attack of pleuromonia, and was suffering from chronic inflammation of the liver. The liver was large, and he had also an attack of congestion of the brain. This idness continued about 6 or 8 weeks. I attended him again in 1854 from Jan. to March. He was then suffering from an enlargement of the liver and extreme irritability of the stomach. He vomited large quantities of blood at that time, and the right lobe of his liver was on a line with the navel, it was so enormously large. He was dropsical at that period, at least his lower limbs were. The dropsy showed itself by (edema. He had also inflammation of the right kidney. His illness at that time continued for two months. I did not attend him again after that time. During the time of his illness I never saw his brother William, or at any other time. Walter Palmer spoke to me about insuring his life after his last illness. He asked me what sort of a subject he should be for insurance ? And I answered that no medi cal man would pass him, he bad so much organic disease. I told him his life was a highly hazardous one, as I knew habits. They were exceedingly intemperate. By Mr. Deane—l had no communication subsequently with his brother Wm, Palmer as to the state of his health. When I attended him he was a mass of organic disease, and was existing ou the brink of eternity. There is no thing inconsistent from his state of disease in 1854, that be should die of prussic acid in 1855, but my opinion is that he died from apoplexy. From what I have heard from the evidence there is nothing inconsistent in it to show that the deceased Walter Palmer might not have died from prussic acid. The organic state of disease in which I found him would be very much increased by drink. The Coroner—You have been asked if there is anything inconsistent in the symptoms with death from prussic acid ; is there anything inconsistent in them with death from some narcotic poison, either opium or alchol ? Witness—No; alcohol would produce the same symp toms. Mr. W. Smith—Disease of the kidney would impede the circulation of the blood. If the circulation be peded through any organ it leads to a disarrangement of the whole system. An impediment in any organ to the circulation of the blood, if that organ was diseased, would lead to the disease of other organs. If there was a disessad kidney in an advanced state, the brain would be the most likely organ to be affected. Disease in any form of the kidneys would tend to irritate the brain. Disease of the liver has reference to disease of the brain, and more especially to the lungs. Mr. Smith—My friend has asked you if there is any thing inconsistent with Walter Palmer having died from prussic acid? Is there anything consistent with his dying from prussic acid ? Witness—My opinion is that he probably died from apoplexy. There was a stertorious breathing, and my opinion is, that would be consistent with poisoning by prussic acid. By Mr. Deane—ls stertorous breathing the result of coma ? Witness—lt is. It generally precedes coma. Coma is the result of prussic acid according to the dose that bas been given. In ewes of death from prussic acid occupy. ing from 15 to 20 minutes, coma usually follows. Death from an apoplectic fit in 15 or 20 minutes from disease would be a very singular case. It might occur in a short time, and he did not believe any medical man could state the time that death would occur from an attack of apoplexy. I have seen a case that was fatal in 20 mi nutes. In that case there was a disease of the heart, which would increase the tendency to apoplexy. By Mr. Smith—lf there was organic disease of the liver and lungs, and the party had been drinking from a quart to three pints of gin a day, I think the death would he more sudden. Most decidedly the drink would increase the tendency to apoplexy. Considering the state of his habits there was nothing inconsistent in his having died in 15 or 20 minutes from apoplexy. His brain was in a state of turgescence during the whole time I attended him. I had an opportunity of seeing Walter Palmer from 1852, and he never had a healthy aspect, for he always appeared labouring under a diseased liver. I did not attend him medically until 1853. He always ap peared a man addicted to drinking. To a Juror—When I attended him the servant told me he drank a pint of gin per day, besides several glasses of beer. By Mr. Smith—Beyond the congested state of the brain there was nothing to show an active disease. During the attack of plenromonia he was rambling in his talk. He was a person in every respect likely to be attacked by apoplexy. The blood the deceased vo mited was venous and not arterial blood. An ordinary death from apoplexy rarely occurs in 15 or 20 minutes, enless there is a disease of the heart, when it may be very sudden, and take place in a few minutes. If a blood-vessel burst on the brain it would produce apoplexy. Dr. Alfred Swain Taylor was recalled, and examined by Mr. Deane— In my opinion an ordinary apoplectic fit, depending on effusion of blood on the brain, would last two or three hours. I have known one death in an hour. On a post mortem, examination effusion of blood on the brain would leave traces, but in cases of disease of the heart it is very sudden. Mr. Deane—ls there anything inconsistent in the death of Walter Palmer by prussic acid ? Dr. Taylor—The symptoms are coma, lividity of the face, dilation of the pupils, the eyes open and fixed, general relaxation of the limbs and muscles of the body, etertorious breathing, coldness of the surface of the skin, with clammy perspiration. There is another symptom described, and that is twitching of the muscles of the left side of the face. Those are all the symptoms I hav e mar k ed down, and are quite consistent w ith d ea th from prussic I acid, w russie acid if taken or given within half an hour a death.

I produce Last week three candidates issued addresses soliciting the electors for their votes in the expected vacancy, viz. -- Mr. Clive, the London police magistrate (Liberal), Mr. Evans, of Sufton-court (Conservative), and Mr. Bid dnlpb, of Ledbury (Liberal). With a view, however, of preventing a division of the Liberal interest, a meeting of mutual friends of Mr. Clive and Mr. Biddulph was held to decide which of the two candidates should withdraw from the field, when it was determined that Mr. Bid dolph should retire. That gentleman, accordingly, issued an address to the electors yesterday, withdrawing from the contest and inviting his friends to support Mr. Clive. Mr. Clive also issued a second address, stating the arrangement that had been made, and expressing his opinion that " no member of a Dissenting congregation should be called upon to contribute to the maintenance of any fabric of the Established Church. Last night a meeting was held here on the subject of the ballot, at which Mr. Clive attended. A Mr. Whitehurst, of the Central Committee of the Society for Promoting Vote by Ballot, first addressed the meeting, after which Mr. PHILLLMORE, M.P. for Leominster, defended the ballot from the charge of being an un-English mode of taking votes, maintaining that the privilege of voting could not be exercised by a large number of persons without bringing ruin upon them. It was perfectly well known that when the proprietorship of land changed bands, and the political opinions of the owner changed at the same time, the votes of a great majority of th e tenantry changed tco. (Hear, hear.) He knew no nobler sight than to see a man go openly to the poll, hut they had no right to call for the exercise of heroic virtues in the discharge of lawful privileges. As long as human nature was what it was, people would do dirty things, and act from secret and dishonest motives, and the ballot was the only remedy for 'the disease. He de nied that the ballot would lead to fraud, and looked to it as the means of defending the constituencies from- a corruption arising from hope of gain. (Cheers.) Mr. CLIvE then addressed the meeting, and was well received. He said he was glad to avail himself of that opportunity of telling the electors that for many years he bad been an advocate for the use of the ballot in the election of members of Parliament. The present system of voting practically disfranchised a great many most respectable persons. He could point to tradesmen in the principal street of that city, who either did nit vote at all elections, or who voted against their conviction. Persons well educated, and qualified for discharging the duties reposed in them, professed to have no political principles at all rather than be called upon to give their vote by which they might make enemies or !displease their customers. (Hear, hear.) Tbis was a great evil and one which the ballot would remedy. Fer these and other reasons he supported the ballot. Although he did not expect those immediate re sults from the measure which some people did (for he thought the advantages to be derived from the measure would be of slow growth), he considered the ballot would gradually remedy the evil complained of. As to the charge that had been made against the ballot, that it would lead to all sorts of fraud and deception, and that electors might receive bribes to vote one way and then vote another, if a man went openly to the poll and re corded his vote against his conviction he deceived all the world, but if he promised to vote one way, and then voted (by ballot) another, he only deceived one person. He hoped to see the measure introduced in the next session of Parliament, though he did not expect those immediate results from its operation which some persons anticipated. Mr. Clive, in his printed address to the electors, also expresses himself favourable to a reform in the law, and and on the subject of the war says : "No Administration will receive my support which fails to prosecute the present most just war with vigour and effect, for thus only can an honourable and durable peace be obtained. It is not my wish that this country should ever rank as a great military Power, ner do I forget how thoroughly a state of war is at variance with all the hopes and pursuits which a nation should most dearly cherish ; but yet I feel that our efforts must not be relaxed until our adversary shall have solemnly re nounced his guilty pretensions, shall have made repara tion for the past, and give security for the future." Mr. Evans, on the same subject, writes : " I believe I shall most entirely represent your feel ings and opinions by endeavouring to uphold the Exe cutive of this country in the great struggle in which we are now engaged. The fall of Kars, and the sufferings of its heroic defenders at this moment, excite the indig nation of all England. Believing that the surest road t an honourable peace, which we must all desire, is to prosecute the war with vigour, I will give my support to any Ministry who honestly pursues the only course by wh:ch that blessing can be obtained." Mr. Evans also expresses a firm attachment to the Established Church, and will support a judicious econo my in the public expenditure. The arrangement leading to the withdrawal of Mr. Biddulph has given umbrage to many "independent " electors, by whom a handbill has just been issued, giving the lawyers credit for the affair, and calling upon their brother electors to disregard it and to vote for their own candidate. By the Coroner—ln persona who die in summer pu trefaction of the brain begins before they are put into the grave, and very soon it would become decomposed. In a person addicted to drinking for a long period there might be a disease of the brain that would lead to apo plexy and death. Delirium tremens is produced from an affection of the brain, but a person might live for years with delirium tremens. The throwing off of blood from the stomach was dependent on the state of the liver. At this stage of the proceedings an adjournment of the court for an hour took place. On the re-assembling of the jury, Dr. Bees (of Guy's Hospital) was called. He said—l am lecturer on materia medica at Guy's Hospital, and assistant physician to that establishment. I was pre sent, and assisted Dr. Taylor in making an analysis of jars containing the viscera and other parts of Walter Pa.'mer. The Coroner here read the evidence given by Dr. Taylor on the analysis of three jars delivered to him by Inspector Crisp, of the Rugeley police, and labelled " Wa'ter Palmer." NE W CASTLE-ON•TYNE. It is stated, upon what appears authority, that in con sequence of the continued indisposition of Mr. Blackett, M.P., he will retire from the representation of New castle-on-Tyne immediately upon the meeting of Parlia ment. Mr. Geo. Ridley, barrister, brother of Sir Mat• thew White Ridley of Bla g d on, and son of the late Sir , N. W. Ridley, who for many years represented New castle-on-Tyne, will be brought forward in the liberal in terest. Other candidates are spoken of. Dr. Rees—l agree entirely with Dr. Taylor's analysis. I have heard the evidence given to-day, and the symp toms described by the witnesses, and I am of opinion that the cause of death might have been apoplexy, aris ing from natural disease ; or death might have been caused by prussic acid. We were unable to detect prussic acid in the body ; but, even had it been present at the time of death, three months' interment would have been sufficient to have produced vaporisation or decomposi• tion. By Mr. Deane—l think the symptoms of disease might have been produced by excessive drinking. From my examination of the heart we could detect no disease. We carefully examined the valves and the thickness of the ventricles, and we could detect nothing abnormal in the heart or any part of the body. The kidney ap peared to be somewhat congested when compared with the other organs. I cannot say whether it. was the right or left kidney. I have asked Dr. Monckten, and he is unable to determine. The organ exhibited no signs of disease, unless congestion may be termed as such. The liver had evidently been diseased during life. It was en larged, and sits edges thickened. With respect to the other organs sent to us, I have no particular remark to make. A death from apoplexy from natural disease, or from disease produced from excessive drinking, would vary from four hours to a day. Four hours would be a very quick case. I am of opinion that the death of Walter Palmer was a very rapid one indeed. I under stand it took place in half an hour. There are such eases on record, but they are very rare indeed. In the facts I have heard there is nothing inconaietent with the cause of death from prussic acid, or some narcotic poison, but not opium or morphia. There are some cases where immediate death has been pro duced by apoplexy, and not by poison. An im mediate death from apoplexy has occurred amongst persons not hard drinkers, but living freely—persons moving in a superior class of life, and they have died in ten minutes. In one of the cases .1 allude to the per son was between 50 and 60 years of age. All the ordi nary symptoms of apoplexy were present. In cases of apoplexy caused by drinking the apoplectic fit is usually of 4 or five hours' duration ; but in cases of apoplexy pro duced by prussic acid the fit is 'not more than a few mi nutes' duration. In cases of apoplexy arising from natural disease, the time before death would greatly depend on the proportion of the brain affected by the infusion of blood into it. The portions of the brain at the base would be most readily affected ; and in all cases where the brain is affected the death is very rapid. There is nothing in Walter Palmer's case to lead me to suppose the base of the brain was attacked, and I am of opinion that it would rather have .taken place in the ventricles, or the neighbour hood of the ventricles, surrounding the brain. In cases of apoplexy from excessive drinking, you might or might not find an apoplectic clot in the brain. Increased effu sion of blood in the ventricles of the brain would make death more protracted than in the case under consi deration.

P. Watling, Esq., was held at the shire hall for the purposes of considering the estab lishment of a reformatory school for young convicted criminals in Essex. It was understood that it was to be of a preliminary character, but it was so largely Wended that it assumed a general public nature. The High Sheriff took the chair, and amongst those present were--T. W. Brarnston, Esq., M.P., Lieutenant-Colonel Brise, Major Skinner, R.A., Major Russell, Messrs. W. Cotton, C. T. Tower, 0. Mashiter, C. G. Round, G. A. Lowndes, C. Du Cane ; Revs. Dr. Robinson, Dr. Grant, J. Cox, J. Lewis, scc. The High Sheriff having opened the proceed ings in a speech of some length, Mr. B. Western, in mov ing a resolution in favour of reformatory schools, ex pressed his high approval of the object that had called them together, and described what had been done in the establishment of the Reformatory in the county of Suffolk. The resolution was carried, as was also one moved by Mr. Tower, declaring it to be highly desirable that a reformatory school should at once be established in Essex. A committee was then appointed to receive the subscriptions, and take the necessary steps for the establishment of such an institution. A petition to the legislature was also adopted, praying that the propriety of passing a general measure on the subject of reforma tory schools might be taken into immediate considera tion.—Essex Herald. ESSEX. Sir John Tyrell, having determined to retire from the representation of North Essex, Mr. Charles Du Cane, of Brasted-park, has addressed the electors in the Conser vative interest.

The con dition of the brain at the time of death is unknown to me. There might possibly have been such an effusion on, within, or under the base of the brain as to accunt for immediate death. It is unknown, and cannot now be known. It is perfectly consistent, and very possible, that deceased may have died of, disease of the brain, and without any poison being administered to him. The kidney I saw did riot bear marks of disease—a disease there generally leaven some traces of disease behind. I only speak of one kidney. I do not know that the brain would become primarily affected by an interruption of the circulation of the ,blood through the kidneys, or that there was any particular attraction of the brain to re ceive the surplus circulation. I do not know that the brain would be affected any more than any other organ. I am not prepared to say there was no disease of the brain, although there was no disease of the liver.

Upon the recommenda tion of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Revalenta A r abica , which, to the astonishment of all, caused an immediate change for the better in the symptoms. After the first few meals she felt less miserable, and in six days the diarrhoea and night sweats had left her. She gained strength gradu ally, and in two months time was perfectly well. This excel lent remedy deserves to be more generally known, and I consider I am only discharging a most sacred duty iu recornmending it to all sufferers.—S. ZEOLTERS.
