ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVERPOOL, AUG 22. (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) ALLEGED POISONING BY ANTIMONY. At the sitting of the ciurt yesterday morning, Bc'sy M`Mullen was placed at the tar, charged, on the ceroner'a inquisition, with the wilful murder of her husband, Daniel M'Mullen, at Bolton, by administering to him repeated doses of antimony. The prisoner, who appeared in deep mourning, pleaded not guilty, and was accommodated with a seat in the dock during the progress of the trial. Mr. Overend, Q.C., and Mr. Sowler conducted the case for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Serjeant Wilkins. Mr. Overend, in stating the case, said that the pri soner stood charged with she wilful murder of her own husband, who died on Wednesday, the 2d of July last. Tne deceased was an operative a:4ton spinner, and also a shopkeeper, in the town of Bolton-le-Moor. The prisoner had been married to him several years, and the issue of the marriage was four children, all of whom were dead. The deceased had sometimes drunken out breaks, but except on the occasions of these outbreaks he was a temperate man. The last occasion on which he bad one was on Saturday, the 7th of June, and that continued until the 11th of June. From that day up to lliturday, the 21st or June, he was perfectly well. At the time that the occurrences took place into which they were now going to inquire, the prisoner, the de ceased, and a servant resided in the house. On the 21st June he began to complain of a considerable pain and a burning about the pit of the stomach. On the fallow ing day; Sunday, he continued to complain of the burn ing pain at his stomach, and on the morning of that day the pain was so intense that he was unalokt to sit up; and remained in bed. In consequence of the de ceased thus complaining, the prisoner sent for a medical man of the name of Dorrien, who saw the deceased, and treated him as though he was suf fering from indigestion. On the following Tuesday, Mr. Dorrien again visited the deceased, who was still suffer - ing from the same symptoms, and gradually becoming worse and worse. The symptoms continued during the whole of that day, and also on the following day, Wed nesday, the 24th. On that day the maid servant made a communication to Mr. Mactaggart, the assistant of Mr. Dorrien, the surgeon, by reason of which another medical man, in addition to Mr. Dorrien, was called in, and in consequence of the information communicated by the maid servant, it was arranged that neither the ser vant nor the prisoner should either prepare or administer any food to the deceased ; and he should prove that from the Saturday up to the day of the deceased's death neither the servant nor the prisoner could have given the deceased any food. The deceased continued to suffer from these symptoms for a week longer, and on the morning of Wednesday, the 2d of July, his death ulti• mately took place. Before his death theire were all the symptoms of antimony having been administered, includ ing the continued burning pain at the stomach ; there was also constant rambling, general insensibility, and at length the deceased sunk from sheer exhaustion. After the death of the deceased a post mortem examination of the body was made, when it was found that the duodena, the small intestines, and the rectum were very much in flamed. Subsequently the contents were handed over to Mr, Watson, a skilful analytical chemist, residing at Bolton. The liver, the spleen, and the intestines were minutely examined by Mr. Watson, and in all of them be found the presence of antimony. Indeed, to use Mr Watson's own words, he found those' parts saturated with antimony ; but on examining the stomach no anti mony was found. He had already stated that from Saturday, the 28th of June, to Wednesday, the day of his death, there %as no possibility of the prisoner or the servant giving the deceased any food, and that the antimony found in the intestines must have been given to the deceased in his food before that time. All the post mortem appearances showed that the de ceased had died from the effects of antimony, and he (the learned counsel) did not think that his learned friend would deny that his death was to be attributed to that cause. If, then, thejary should lie satisfied that antimony had caused the deceased's death, the next question they would have to determine was how was it administered, and who was the person who gave it to him. It was suggested on the part of the prosecution that the prisoner at the bar ad ministered it to him; and the evidence which would be brought before them on that point would be supported by a variety of statements, but the main part of the case would depend upon the statement of the young woman, the servant girl, who made the communication to the niedical man. This young woman had been in the service of the deceased about 9 months, she was a girl of a to tally irreproachable character, and could have no motive for misdirecting the jury in any way. Thisgirl would tell them that the deceased sometimes got drunk, and that he had been drunk 3 times since she went to reside in the house, the last time on which he was drunk being from the 7th to the 11th of June. Thegirl would speak to these 3 occasions, and 3 only, as having occurred since she had lived with them. She would also tell them after the last occasion, viz , the 11th of June, the deceased was per fectly well, and attended to his business up to the 21st of June, when he first complained of the burnings at his stomach. It would appear that late in the evening of the 7th of June, the deceased, the prisoner, and the servant were in the shop, when the deceased, seeing a man out side the door, and hanging about the shop, said to the prisoner, "What is that man about? is he come after you, or after her (the servant)?" The girl said, "He is not come to look after me." The deceased then went to the Three Tens public-house, and afterwards to - another public house known by the name of the Archduke. After he had been there fur some time the prisoner and the servant came to the Archduke, when the phsoner and the deceased quarrelled very much until three o'clock in the morning. During the quarrel the prisoner fell and hurt her face, either in con sequence of being intoxicated, or from some other cause. Thu c msequenceof -this was that the prisoner was un able to attend the shop for some days. The deceased that morning went home before the prisoner, and when the prisoner and the servant came home the deceased was sitting on the doer ste=p. When the prisoner came home she was drunk, and the maid servant, for reasons which he would afterwards explain, thought it right to examine her pockets, and on making this examination she found a paper in the priioner's pocket containing a white powder. This paper and its contents she took cut of the prisoner's pocket and gave to Mr. Mactag gart, who afterwards gave it to Mr. Watson. This gen tleman analysed it, and found it to consist almost en t aa!y ref antimony. Now it would be a very suspicieus el., _lnstance as regarded the servant girl, if it were not explained, that she should have taken a parcel cut of her mistress's pocket. But the girl would tell them, on several occasions, she had seen the prisoner put a pow der into the food of the deceased, and that the deceased had subsequently taken it. On one occasion she saw bins drink some coffee into which the prisoner had pre viously put Borne powder, and after he had taken it he complained of sickness and a burning pain at the pit of his stomach. On ano th er occasion - she saw the prisoner take• sonic of the powder from her pocket and put it on ~a plata on which there were souse na at and gravy. The deceased afterwards partook of some of the meat and gravy, and in a few minutes complained of a burning pain at his stomach. Again, on the 2,ta of June, when the deceased was lying ill in bed, tae servant saw the prisoner take the powder out of her. rocket and put some of it in the medicine, and then give it to the deceased, Again, on the fe:l.rwing day, Friday, the 27th—the Friday before ho died—the prisoner sent the girl cut for some tripe,-and when she returned she f mn:l her mistress engaged in the bu of the shop. The girl went through the house, and into Co pantry, and there she form I a glass containing a Frxwder. Tois was given to Mr. Watson, and oo being avalysed it was found to consist almost entirely of antiffizny. On the same day, about four o'clock in to al'i.erucon, the prisoner made some tea, and told the servant to take it upstairs to the deceased. He drank apart of it, but a sediment which remained at the bot tun of the cup he did not drink. This sediment was pteserved and analysed, and found to contain almost exclusively antimony. Now, if the jury should baieve all, these facts, and be eatisfied that day after day the prisoner was giving the deceased doses of antimony, he was afraid they would find it would be their duty to con vict her of the crime of which she stood charged. It was in consequence of all these facts which he had related that on the occasion to which he had referred the maid servant went and examined the pockets of the prisoner, and gave the contents to Mr. Mactaggart, Now, he asked them to believe the evidence of this girl, who would be confirmed by the eviden'he of several other wit passes as to the terms upon which the prisoner and the deceased lived, and amongst others by a person named tee, who was a very material witness. This witness Wonld tell them that he had heard the prisoner say that she wondered how she could have married the deceased, and that ihe ha'd consulted a wise man for the purpose of learning how soon her husband would die. Referrin g to the question of motive, th e l earned counsel said it was an important fact in support of the case for the pro sacotion, that the deceased had effected a piney of insurance for 1001. on the joint lives of himself and his• wife, and that on this policy she would be en titled to 1001. at his death. Mr. Dorrien, the sur geon, would tell them that on the very occasion of which the servant girl spoke, when the antimony was fir-t administered in the food, the deceased was in the habit Of coming to him and complaining of the burning p a i n t his stomach. All the symptoms up to the time of his eeath were those of antimony, and all the facts went etrorgly in support of the prisoner having repeatedly administered it to the deceased. Probably his learned friend would not contest the point that the deceased did die from the effects of antimony, nor the fact that the prisoner administered it; because the prisoner read al ready admitted, when b, fore the coroner, that sho tad given her' husband a certain powder to cure his drunken ness whir h she tailed "quietness," and that contained c iesidcrable quantity of antimony. He regretted to eay that this mixture was sold to a considerable extent by dsugeists in the town of Bolton. The prisoner stated Allat she obtained it from a druggist of the name of ahhpeonain Belton, peel Mi. Simpson himself would tell theta, howev er muc h t h ey may reprehen d his corducif, t tat he had sold this mixture to the prisoner, but he z` r 'u a 1 o tell 'them that what he had sold hes con ; I Pcir grains of antimony and fiteen grains of cream ort'tartar, wh ereas what was taken oat of her peoliet contained coasiderably more than four grains of "riteeny. On • Saturday, June 28, the medical men asked the prisoner if she had given her husband any medicine, when the replied "No, except what Mr. Dor rien hadsent him." After that she Wall told that a powder containing a considerable quantity of antimony had been found in her pocket, and then it was that, . for the first time, she admitted that she 'had given him a powder for "quietness." Th e j ury would have to consider for what purpose the prisoner gave the deceased this powder. If it was simply for the purpose of making deceased sober, they would take that into their consideration. If they believed that else THE SU'N, I.ON DON, SATURDAY EVENING AUGUST 23 Is 50; lor five years, and have prescribed for him. He was ' a spare man, about 40 years of age. I prescribed f r indigestion—be complained of a burning sensation in the stomach. On a Sunday in June I was called to see him again. He did not say he had been drinking at first, nor complained as before. I again prescribed for him, and saw him daily up to his death, except on one day. On Saturday, the 28th, he complained very much, , and said he thought he was dying. He said they had given him some tea that had made him sick—he felt a burning pain in his stomach. His pulse was quicker, and he complained of thirst ; his tongue was foul. I felt alarmed, and suggested to send for another medical man. The prisoner and the deceased said they were quits satisfied with me. On the 244 h of June I received a small paper parcel from Mr. Mactaggart, containing-a white powder, which was handed to Mr. Watson ; I also received a bottle from the witness Hut ton, at Mrs. Marsden's, and a small pot containing a fluid. Dr. Chadwick was called in, and a nurse was pro cured for the husband, who had directions as to th© pre paration of food for him ; and the nurse continued with him up to the time of his death. I had a conversation with the deceased, when I asked him if he thought there was any foul play. He said, no. I saw the prisoner on Tuesday morning with his father, when I accused the prisoner of having given the deceased something. She replied, " What inducement was there for me to do so ?" I said there might be many inducements. Subsequently I saw her at my house, and told her I had a serious charge against her. I then told her of the powder that had been taken from her pocket, and that she had been in the habit of giving her husband drugs for the last three months. I also informed her that I hal given it and other things to Mr. Watson ; that all had been ana lysed, and found to contain antimony. The prisoner said, " Antimony, I don't know what it is." I then told her that in consequence of suspicions she had been re quested not to give her husband any food. She said she had not given her husband any food. She said she had not given him any antimony, because she did not know what it was. I then asked her how it could get into the physic and the tea ? She said she could not tell. I then told her I had stated the facts to the inspector of police, and that antimony had been found in the powder and the tea. The witness then described the symptoms, which were such as would be produced by antimony. Mr. Overend—Were the symptoms of M'Cullen's death consistent with death from natural causes ? Witness—They might have been. From the first I looked upon the case as one of indigestion. I suspected nothing until I got the powder. Mr. Overend—Were the symptoms at the end con sistent with death from natural causes ? ..._... Witness—At the latest part of my attending him, I considered that I was attending him for dyspepsia. Mr. Overend—l mean at the end I Witness—At the end I never before saw a person die so suddenly as he died, from natural causes. (Tbe case was still on when our parcel left.) THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT. GRAVESEND, WEDNESDAY. A case of considerable importance to the mercantile marine came before the bench of magistrates for this borough, at the Town-hall, to-day. Capt. Joachim Vanvellow, the master of the Praqiian barque Peter Reit, of and bound to Dantzic, surrendered in discharge of his bail to an information charging him with em ploying, and continuing to employ an unqualified per son (a waterman) to pilot his vessel in Gravesend Reach, on the 18th inst., after a duly qualified pilot, Edward Tracy, had offered his services to take charge of the ship. A summons had been issued against the defend. ant in the first instance, but he having intimated his intention to disobey the order, and sail away to sea with his vessel, a warrant was issued under Jervis's Act, and he was apprehended ; he, however, was subsequently liberated on putting in bail. Mr. Sharland, the town clerk of Gravesend, appeared to support the complaint. The defendant was charged with violating the pilotage clauses of the Merchant Shipping Act, the 353 d section of which specified the vessels that were exempted from the powers of the act. A captain of an exempted ship might pilot his own ves sel out, and if he required any other person to do so he must employ a duly qualified pilot, and, in default of doing so, was liable to the penalty provided. The charge against the defendant was that he employed an unquali fied person to navigate his ship after a duly appointed pilot had offered his services. Double the amount of pilotage which would be charged under ordinary circum stances was the penalty ; and in order that the pilots might have that protection which the Legislature afforded them, he asked the bench, if the case was proved against the defendant, to impose it. Mr. Edward Tracy, the complainant, said he was a qualified pilot of the Trinity,Board, and produced his licence. On Monday afternoon, the 18th inst., he was on the look-out with Dodd, another pilot, to pilot ves sels. He saw the defendant's barque, Peter Rolt, earning down the reach, and when they got near her they noticed that an unqualified person was on board at the helm. Observed him put the helm down to stay the ship, and then go forward and let go the forebrace. Did not hear him give any order to them. From his general acts he appeared to be acting as pilot of the ship. Went on board with Dodd, produced his licence to the defendant, and offered to take ch a rg e o f th e s hip. D e f en d ant re plied that he could not read, that ho had a man on board, and that he should take him, the unqualified person, and no one else. He ordered witness out of the ship. The captain then went to the helm. After he had tendered his services he heard the man in charge give orders to stay the ship from the north shore, to g about from the northward. The order was given to the mate, who passed it to the captain, and the mate acted upon it. After he had left the ship he advised the un qualified person to leave and come into his boat. The ship on getting near the Terrace-pier got into some dif ficulty. She was then brought up, and the jack hoisted for a pilot. Went on board about an hour and a half afterwards with the summoning officer, and the unquali fied pilot was still on board. Knew the man who waR acting as pilot very well, but did not know his name. He caused him to be turned out of the ship Orestes last Sunday week. The barque drew eleven feet of water; the pilotage would be 6/. 10s. By the Bench—Pilots generally took the helm in a narrow channel ; but, had he had charge of the ship, perhaps he would not have been at the helm when he saw the unqualified person there. Heard the unqualified person give the orders to work the ship. Mr. W. B. Dodd said he was a qualified Trinity House pilot, and accompanied the last witness on board the barque. Saw an unqualified person at the wheel. Heard 'him call " haul," and he went forward and let go the fore-brace. The man waS acting as pilot. When they got up the side the defendant took hold of the helm. Heard Tracy tender his services to pilot the ship. Defenda:it replied that he would employ whom he liked, and he had a man on board. After this refusal heard the unlican,e I person give the order "about ship" to the mate and cai tain. When this order was given the captain adopted it. Knew the man was an unlicensed person. The ship ;; %t into some difficulty afterwards and brought up. 1.'3- turned to the chip in shoe; an hour and a half, and saw the unlicensed person was still on board. By the Bench—Ships might have river help waterinen to assist the crew in working the ship, but they must not act, as pilots. Mr. Oaks (a magistrate)—lt is not an offance to have hands on board to assist the crew as long as they do not act in the capacity of directing the working and navigar, i•,g of the shid ? .Witnes3—lt is not, but if there is a weernin on board and he gives directions to "haul" and "go about" he is acting as a pilot. Ey the Bench—Sometimes in cases of emergency he bad let go the forebrace, but it was not generally the pilot's duty to do so. The Mayor then called upon the defendant for his answer to the complaint. The defendant, in rather imperfect English, said the man he had on board was not acting as pilot, nor did he give orders for the working of the ship. If the man gave any orders to the mate, he (defendant) could not be held responsible for them when he did not adopt them. While his ship was in London some of the crew got sick, and, as the man bad been the captain of a col lier, and bad been in the habit of going with vessels about the coast, he took him as a kind of helper to as sist the crew, but not hs a pilot. In going down the Reach the wind was blowing strong from the north east, and he had charge of the wheel. The man did not give orders to work the ship. When the pilot Caine on board he (defendant) was at the wheel, and he told him that he did not require a pilot. Mr. Oaks—Then you mean to say that it was not in consequence of any order from the waterman you had on hoard that you altered the ship's course I Defendant—lt was not. Mr. Oaks—Both the witnesses have stated that the man was acting in giving orders as the pilot, and you admit that you took the man for his knowledge in navi gating ships round the coast. The bench having consulted, The Mayor said it wai evident that the defendant was aware that the man wad engaged to pilot the ship. They therefore inflicted upon him the penalty of doable pilot age, 131. The defendant paid the amount, strongly protesting against the deci;ion. The bench &lowed the pilot the penalty, minus the . . expenses, for bis loss of tinie in prosecuting the ca;e. GALVANISM. —lf we wish instant communication with those at a distance, we do so by galvanism ; if we admire a piaee of plated work, we find it done by galvanism ; and, from its multifarious applications, we are compelled to admit our ignorance of what this galvanic p ewer and to what it may not be successfully applied. The disease known as grey hair has long occupied the atten tion of pathologists, and the result has been the discovery of a perfect cure. The colouricg matter is again carried up into the tube of the hair, which consequently resumes its natural and original colour. The remedy is the pro per application of galvanism by the Patent Galvanic Combs and Brushes*, made by Mr. Herring, of 32,‘Basing hall-street. Each comb and brush is a perfect galvanic machine, most ingeniously and beautifully constructed ; and we have no doubt they will very shortly be in the hands of all those who are suffering from loss of our greatest personal ornament, the colour of the hair. They also give instant and perfect relief in even the most severe cases of neuralgic or nervous headache. The Gal vanic Flesh-brush possesses all the advantages of the best galvanic .machines, without their bulk or incon venience, and a peculiar friction that is found most efff• cacious in cases of neuralgia, or rheumatism in the limbs. For the modus operandi of these very clever instruments we refer our readers to a pamphlet issued gratuitously by Mr. Herring, entitled, " Why Hair becomes Grey ; and its Remedy."

The final arrival at Hyde was as under : Maraquita Whirl wind Georg iana Zonave h. m. E. 4 2 0 4 2 30 4 10 0 4 15 0 At the very last three miles of the race the Whirlwind caught up a strong breeze from the land, and began rapidly to overhaul the leading vessel, but on coming near to the Motherbank it fell off again, and she cJuld not succeed in taking the lead, although nothing could be finer than the manner in which she was sailed. Mr. Carew wag, therefore, declared the winner of the priz?, which was presented to him in the Club-house on 'his arrival on shore. Her Majesty's Cup was this day exhibited to the mem bers At the club house, and is an article of most exquisite workmanship. It is a two-handled vase, and in the centre on one side is a large polished shiell, bearing the avt-rds of the presentation, which are as follows : "The gift of the Queen to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, August, 1856." Supprting the shield are two figures in strong relief, representing the water deities supporting a most beautifully-chased imperial crown, while round the vase in high relief are branches of coral and marine shells in polished silver. The reverse side of the vase presents a similar shield to that on which are engraved the terms of the presentation, supported by like figures; the centre being of polished silver, intended for the name of the yacht, the winner of the prize, and her owner. The handles of the vase are elegantly moulded in polished silver. The handle of the cover of the cup is formed of two dolphins encircling the trident of Neptune, with other ornaments of an appropriate character. This day was appropriated to beat races, with a nu merous list of prizes. The first was a race for yachts' gigs, for prizes of 151 104. Nec - mel race, for yachts' dingies, with prizes of 51. lOs.

Extravaganza • Sir Percy Shelly, Bart. The race was very well contested, and was won by the boat of the Maraquita. The other races were not dis posed of in time for this despatch. It was expected that her Majesty would have honoured the regatta with her presence, but that was prevented in cGnsequence of her Majesty's annual entertainment and rustic sports taking place this day in the grounds of 03 borne, when the Royal yachts' crews and tradesmen em ployed at Osborne are invited and plentifully rega'ed.

The first witness called was James Lowe, surveyor, who produced a ground platn, of the dwelling-house, and also a photographic represene talon of the kitchen. By Mr. Serjeant Wilkins—l have heard of " quiet ness' used by women in Bolton. I have heard for what it was used—to sober drunken men. Mary Ann Hutton said—l am 19 years of age, and ft, native of Ireland. I had been in the service of the de ceased, Daniel M'Mullen, about nine months. He was a shopkeeper and cotton spinner. My master and mis tress attended to the shop. The deceased was of a quiet disposition, but in the habit of getting drunk. He got intoxicated three times while I was there : the first time soon after I went, and he kept drunk about three days. The last occasion was on the 7th of June. He attended to the shop for three days after the last fit of drunkenness. His wife was in the house. On the Saturday before his death the prisoner told me to fetch a surgeon. The doctor attended him until he died. Mr. Dorrien was called in first, and then Dr. Chad wick. Prisoner and her husband lived very uncomfort ably together, and often quarrelled. The last time he got drunk it was on a Saturday. A man came and looked in at the stop window. The deceased and the prisoner were in the shop at the time, and coming into the room, the prisoner said to me, "Is that man after you ?" I said perhaps he is. The prisoner said if he was after me I should have asked him io. The de eseed stayed a short time, and then went to the beer-house. I have frequently seen the man with my mistress on other occasions, and when he has been there she has sent me out. The deceased returned home about 10 o'clock, and went out again. The prisoner then went out, and said she would go to " Peter's," but that if the deceased returned I was to say that she had gone out for a loaf of bread. She was out about half an hour. The deceased came home shortly afterwards, but again went out. When prisoner came home I told her the deceased was out. She then asked me to go and find him, but I declined. After that the prisoner and myself went to the Archduke public house and inquired for the deceased, and was told that he bad gone to bed. He was called, and when ho came down, the prisoner and he quarrelled and fought. After they became quiet, the prisoner threw a knife at the de ceased and cut him on the wrist. They remained at the inn until three o'clock in the morning. They were both drunk, and a police officer assisted them home, where they again fought; the prisoner fell and cut her face. The deceased proceeded home, and when the prisoner ar rived he was sitting upon the step of the door. Both went into the house. I put the prisoner to bed. After that I took a paper parcel out of the prisoner's pocket, which contained a white powder. I took half of it and put it into a piece of paper, and kept it. At about this time the prisoner was very drunk. The powder I kept I gave to a girl named Fitzgerald, who returned it to me about a fortnight since. Elizabeth Hilton also had the paper of powder, and it was then handed to Mr. Mac taggart, assistant to Mr. Dorrien. Before this I had seen the prisoner put some powder into a basin with some broth, and left it where the deceased used to sit. The deceased drank it. At that time he was well, and not drinking. Ido not recollect whether he was sick or not. This was about three months before his death. After that I saw her mix some white powder with meat, of which the deceased partook, and was sick. I have also seen her mix powder with buttermilk, porridge, and gravy, and when the deceased drank of it he was sick. On another day I saw her put some powder on his dinner, "lobscouse," but he would not eat it, and they quarrelled. After the deceased left the table, the prisoner took his plate away. but I don't know what she did with it; but I know she told me not to mix any of the meat with the other food. I did not see her throw the meat away, but she must have done so, as I afterwards saw the plate clean. On the Wed nesday before the deceased died I saw the prisoner put some white powder into a glass, then pour water to it, and then pour it into the medicine bottle, shaking the whole well. The prisoner then p u t some it into a glass up-stairs, and then came down with an empty glass. At that time the deceased was ill, and confined to his bed. Ween the prisoner put the powder into the "lobscouse" it was about a month before he died. On the Friday after the Wednesday that I saw her with the physic she put some white powder into a cup, and told me to take it up stairs and give it to my master. I did take it up stairs, but I only let him drink the top of it—the rest I kept. On another occasion the prisoner sent me out, and on my return the prisoner was in the shop attending to a. customer. I walked then into the kitchen, where I saer some white powder, like floor, in a glass near to the medicine. I knew it was not the time for the deceased to take his medicine. I put the glass with the powder into my pocket. On the occasion when the prisoner fell and cat her face, the deceased attended to the shop : this was after he got sober. On the Sunday before the deceased died I had instructions not to give him any food. The prisoner was also told not to do so. She stayed with. him on that night, but not afterwards. The next day a person came to nurse him. I never had any quarrel with the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Wilkins—l came from Kildare. I resided with my aunt, in Dublin, for three weeks. I lived with a broker as servant for ten months. Before that I lived with a gentleman named Dann. In. the month of Jan uary I recollect t 9 c, , pricoracr sending me to a chemist's for some " quietness' to give to the deceased. She told me his mother used always to give it to him in hisi drunken fits. I was told t go to the druggist's in Deausgate, but I went into Newport. street. Simpson resided in Deanegate, and Redcliffe in Newport.strset. Mr. Simpson would not let me have it, ras there was antimony in it. Ido not know but that I have always lived on good terms with the prisoner. I am a Roman Catholic. I don't know whether the prisoner is a Protestant. We have conversed on religious matters. I don't know that I have said to the prisoner, "My party will be masters yet." The d ecease d h a d only been drunk three times while I lived - there. When the pri soner threw the knife at the deceased it cut his wrist. I saw ties wrist afterwards. The prisoner shrieked when she got out at the door, but I can't say whether or not the deceased struck her ; her face was cut when she reached home. The prisoner was so drunk that she could not undress herself, and I put her to bed. I took the powder from the prisoner's pocket, and what I took from it I placed in a piece of paper. Before I went to reside with the prisoner I lived with an engineer named Balfour. The girl Fitzgerald has not a husband. It was about three months before the deceased died that I saw the prisoner with the powder in the kitchen. I can't exactly say for a month or six weeks when I next saw her with the powder. On the day that the deceased had the "lobscouse" for dinner he was in a huff about it. I cannot say whether, before to-day, that I said a word about "the prisoner telling me not to mix that with the 'meat on the dish." I did put the glass with the powder into my pocket. It was a wine glass, but I cannot tell what size the hole in my pocket was. When the pri soner ordered me to get any drugs I generally went to Whiopenny's. I cannot telieny others. It was in con sequence of Ratcliffe telling me that it was not proper medicine to give any person that my suspicions were aroused. I cannot name the vessc.l in which I put the sediment from the tea sfter I poured off the -top. [ ree witness was pressed hard, but she adhered to her. state ment.] Re-exlmined—Eiiz I Fitzgerald is a distant relation of mine, and the reason I gave her the powder was that 3be might find it out, The powder remained with her for a fortnight. I cannot say whether the deceased had any drink when he was up-stairs. Eliza Fitzgerald, a singe young woman, residing at Bolton, said she knew the last witrie;s. I Juno she received some powder from her—something like cart) nate of soda. Dept it in her possession for a fortnight. Showed it to Mrs. Cumming•, and asked Ler to show it to a chemist. Cross-examined—The powder was kept in a paper, and deposited in a work-box in my window. No person had access to it. Mary Cumming corroborated the last witness, a►,d added that she had taken the powder to Mr. Parkinson, who examined it. Cross-exarnined—Told the druggist that she had picked it up in the street. Did not know why Fitzgerald did not take it herself. Anne Marshall, ofßolton, said—A powder was brought to my daughter (Mary Cumming) by Fitzgerald, to ascer tain what it was. The powder remained in our house on the table some time. There were nine persons in our house, but no ene touched the piper, except my daughter, who tasted the powder. Mary Ann M‘Gi 1, of the Archduke public-house, Bol ton, said—On Saturday night, the 7th of June, the de ceased was at my house about a quarter to 12. He asked to have a bed there. I advised him to go home, but he said he would not. He went up stairs to bed. The house was closed at 12. At half-past 12 I saw the prisoner and her servant, who had come to look after the deceased. The witness then corroborated the evidence of the first witness, Mary Anne Hutton. Cross-exam - ined—l gyve the prisoner some whisky, but I don't know that she was drunk. The deceased had none. John Whitehead, police-officer, Bolton, said—l saw deceased three or four months ago, on a Sunday night. Heard a cry ; knocked at the door, and was let into his house by him. He was drunk. The prisoner was there ; and as soon as I entered she screamed " Murder." I asked her what was the matter, when she abused me , and said ho was "a d—d murdering devil." She was very drunk, and threw flour at the deceased, who in re turn threw a flour-hag at her. Both were drunk, and they quarrelled a good deal. After they were quiet I loft. Wm. Taggart, drugist's assistant---I received a pow der from Mary Anne Hutton, and showed it to Mr. Dor ftier), telling, him whenc e I obt a i ne d it. O n t h e F r i d:v 'llowieg I got a small pot of liquid from Hutton, at Mrs. Marshatre, which I also gave to Mr. Dorrien, and a bottle containing liquid. I delivered all to .111 r. Wat son, analytical chemist. Cross-examined—.I was assistant to Mr. Stewart, at Bolton, some time. I have heard of " quietness ;" it means tartarised antimony. I don't krarw that it is recommended in medical works. I have heard r , f .Dr. Gilbert, but don't know anything of him. Dr. Dorri,n accused prisoner of having given her husband antininny in his medicine and food. She said she wished God might take the life from her if she did. She said that she had given him "quietness" on account of his having been drunk, to got him out of it ( I runkenness). She said that she obtained the " quietnes•i" from Mr. Simp son's, adding that sbe would get another from the same place, which she did, and that powder was also analysed. The witness Hatton banded me a powder in a piece of a newspaper. Antimony is sometimes given, i n small doses, as a medicine. Re-examined—M'Mullen (the deceased) was a tall thin man, not robust, notwithstanding healthy. "Quiet. ness" is tartar emetic, and given to drunken men to cure them--to make them sick. Mr, Dorrien, surgeon, said—l knew the deceased four NAVAL PRIZE MONEY. Depatiment of ,ho Accountant-General of the Navy, Admiralty, Somerset-house, Aug. 21.

The schooner Lively, sunk in the fairway, has not been recovered, and she is likely to occa , ion consider able trouble to the conservators of the river Tyne. A laden brig was observed in the offing this afternoon with her foretopmast gone. The pilot steamer has gone to sea to look after vessels that may have been disabled.
