The Royal Ch ar t er arrived in Hobso U n' N s Bay on APRIL Wednes day the 10th instant, having sailed from Plymouth on the 17th of February, having thus made the voyage in 59 clays, being the shortest passage yet made. The Frances Plenty sailed out of Port-Philip as tho Royal Charter came in, and as the former vessel has gene rally made quick passages she will most likely announce the arrival of the new vessel. The Ballarat, also a ship of good reputation, sailed for Singapore on the 22d instant ; as there appeared to be a reasonable chance of her meeting the homeward mail from India I wrote by her, but, as the Oliver Lang may he the first to arrive, I shall repeat the contents of my last letter. The mail-ships of the 20th of January_ and the sth of February have not yet arrived. The principle upon which the Royal Charter is built and equipped seems to me to be that which is most likely to reduce the voyage from England to Australia to ae near an approach to a certainty as is possible.. She is, in the first place, a full-rigged clipper ship, capable of the great est speed which has yet been attained by clippers of the first class and best construction. She is built of iron, and of 3,000 tons burden. Her greatest day's run under can vas was 352 miles, being an average of 14i knots per hour. The best run of the Lightning on her first voyage was 3 6 miles, or 14 knots per hour. The Lightning also ran 2,086 nautical miles in seven days, or nearly 300 miles a day. During the voyage of the Royal Charter steam was re sorted to on 14 days. Her best day's run under steam was 252 miles, with a consumption of only 10. i tons of coal; her worst day's run under steam was 166 miles, with a consumption of 14 tons and 8 cwt. of coal. Her total con sumption of coals was only 193 tons 17 cwt. The pres sure of steam was 111 b. Thus her remarkable voyage was made principally by means of her extraordinary sailing powers, and her screw propeller was emphatically auxiliary. Her engines are only of 200-horse power, and, with all the fuel that she can possibly require, occupy but a mode rate proportion of her tonnage, thus leaving ample space for cargo as well as passengers. ' Contrast this with the Great Britain, the first great experiment of the same en terprising firm. She was under-rigged as a sailing vessel, and her screw, which could not be unshipped, was always in requisition. Her consumption of coal was from 35 to 50 tons per diem. She consumed about 1,200 tons from Melbourne to the Cape, and must have consumed about 2,500 on the homeward voyage. She had to seek for and take in coal at Algoa Bay, at St. Michael's (Azores), and at Vigo Bay in Spain. Large as she was, she had little room for cargo, and although she had plenty of passengers her voyages must have entailed loss on the owners. After the failure of their first great experiment one can not but admire the thorough English pluck of the owners of the Royal Charter in thus trying a new venture. I firmly believe they will succeed. The ship is " booked full " for the homeward voyage already. She will have a full cargo, and will most likely carry home every ounce of gold accu mulated for shipment up to the date of her sailing—viz., the 22d of May. The prevailing character and direction of the winds be tween the coast of England, and Melbourne seem to me to prove that the auxiliary screw fitted to a ship of the b es t sailing powers f u lfil s a ll the conditions upon which a rapid voyage depends. Th e N.E. trade is a fair wind, the SE. trade is now made a fair wind by the prese n t me th o d cf great circle saili ng, or rather the " composite course," as it is called, which is as near an approach to the great circle as is practicable. The westerly winds which prevail to the southward of the latitude of the Cape are always fair all the year round. With these fair winds, which cover about 5-6ths of the voyage, steam is only an incumbrance. Auxi liary steam power is useful and necessary in three locali ties--1. From the port of departure to the northern limit of the north-east trade. This is not always necessary, as the wind that blows has often, I may say, generally, plenty of northing in it. 2. Steam is necessary in cross: ing the belt of equatorial calms. This also is greatly nar rowed by the courses steered in recent times. Ships used to cross the equator as far to windward as possible —say, about 22 deg. west longitade—they now cross much fur ther west —say 32 deg. As the belt of calms narrows gra dually to the westward, it is frequently only three or four degrees. By crossing well to the westward ships have carried the n , ,rth-east trade to 4 deg. 30 north latitude, and have met the south-east trade even north of the line, varying with the season of the year. 3. After losing the south-east trade there is the "belt of variables" to be crossed, until the ship is run into the prevailing westerly wind. In all the above three localities the auxiliary screw comes into play. Four, five, or six days runs the ship into the north-east trade ; two days (and perhaps even less than one, under good management) push her across the belt of equatorial calms. Four, five, or six days more carry her from the southern edge of the south-east trade across the variables to the latitude of the westerly winds—a latitude which also varies with the seasons. Sometimes even in the generally constant north-east trade there will happen an unusual or abnormal check. In the south-east trade this is less unusual ; a south-east gale will sometimes over power the prevailing westerly winds. These would, of course, increase the demands upon the crew ; but, on the other hand, these anomalous winds will be sometimes com pensated by a fair wind out of the Channel, and by equal good luck across the belt of variables. Ou the whole, Ido not think the screw will often be needed during more than 15 slays. The voyage must, in fact, be made by the sail ing powers of the ship; the screw must be treated as auxiliary. It would not surprise me if the Lightning, the James Baines, and the Donald M`Kay, with some of the fastest of the rival line, should be at once fitted with auxiliary screws. If the London owners wish to maintain their position in the passenger trade, they must resort to the same expedients, and with ships of a larger class. One word as to the overland route, as it is somewhat absurdly called. That must necessarily be emphatically a steam voyage. From Melbourne to Singapore or Point de Gallo is what sailors call a " dead beat." It will require powerful steamers, and by their a id th e w h o l e voyage can, I have no doubt, be performed in 54 days. It is very im portant to reduce the voyage tolso - le six or seven days less than the two months of 61 or 62 slays. If, for instance, the ships sail regularly on a stated day, say the Ist of e- er : month, and the voyage, without casualties, be 55 d y the due day of the m a il w ill b e t h e 25th or 2' • days month. month.

The prevailing price at Ballarat and Castlemaine has of late been a tlitie higher, and this has discouraged the transmission of gold by the escorts. Moreover, the banks having for some weeks accustomed the diggers and store keepers to look for higher prices, a smaller quantity has been offered to the local branches of the banks. Last week consequently the escorts brought down only 32,934 ounces. But the fortnightly escort from the Ovens, which arrived on Monday evening, brought down 13,351 ounces. ' The quantity received during the first three mouths of 1835 and 1836 was as follows : Ounces. First quarter of 1855........... 497,291 First quarter of 187)6 , 747,241 I have CO reason to believe that there is the slightest cheek upon the quantity actually Obtained at the principal diggings. From the increased use of machinery I am confident the recent averages will be at least kept up, and I think increased towards the latter mouths of the year. If there is any diminution during the last fortnight it may be attribUted to the very heavy rains that have fallen of late. Peace would be very benef cial to this eslony, as it would lead to a renewal of immigration. Labour is becoming very scarce, and I fear, unless we obtain supplies of ma sons, brick-labourers, carpenters, &c., many of our public works will be suspended. We are, however, not so selfish or unpatriotic as to desire peace on any terms except such as are highly advantageous to the Western Powers. There has been a very great preponderance of success on the side of the allies, and that ought to influence the tone of our diplomacy. The selfish colonial view of the case is this. We want about 1,000 people per week. We could absorb that number. Great Britain and Ireland would furnish at least that number in time of peace, but during war only afford us about 300. With an abundant supply of people our resources, both gold and wool, are susceptible of fur• ther development. We shall probably again resume the export of tallow. This would increase our demand for British manufactures, even beyond our recent demand. It is not against the interest of producing England to transfer labour and capital to this productive field. The greater the production here the greater the stimulus to production at home, in the effective demand which oar production carries across the seas to Europe. I believe the production of wool in New Zealand alone is cap able of being worked up,ito 1 0,000,0001 b., and the pas tures of Australia are not fully occupied. To occupy A th lu e enia m xcan p dt r in, o eor fit . a a b n l T y d , he however requires b e tt er means o f com nacompletion of the M e lb ourne, M oun t Murray Railway, commenced and now transferred to the Government, will open out a good deal of country. But here again our resources are crippled for, want of labour. What we have done in the way of railways is not much, but it is a good beginning. The Hobson's Bay Railway connects Melbourne with the ship ping on the west side of the bay. The Williamstown Rail way, nearlyche east ompletsei,dew. illTchoins InaescttisMtheleboteurrmneinwusitohf the shipping on Mount Alexander and Murray line. A branoh from the Hobson's Bay line will be completed to St. Kilda in six or eight months. This is the commencement of a southern line, to be indefinitely extended. The Melbourne and Gee long Railway is in progress, and may be completed in 12 months. This will probably be extended to Ballarat. m one y we can raise; what we want is labour. There is also a growing scarcity of domestic servants, but with any considerable immigration of productive labour the fami lies of the labourers would furnish a good supply of this clase. The Bank of Australia has again declared a dividend for the last half.year at the rate of 20 per cent. per aunum, the Union at the rate of 27 per cent. The Colonial Bank of Australia—a popular bank on the principle, with 1,000,0001 . of capital, in small s hares sof 101., which was s o s t renuously but unsuccessfully o pposed by the Bank of Australasia, ou the ground that the latter had a monopoly of the na me o f " Australasia, " and that the prefix " Colonial" was only colourable—has just commenced business with every prospect of very 'narked success. There is a strong prestige in favour of the local banks. The profits enrich local shareholders, and are not sent out of the colony. In our early dayt„ when capital was the great want of all these colonies, there, was a great and manifest advantage in deriving it front England, nor could we now afford to die sense aLh the foreign banking capital employed here. But there is no doubt a large accumulation of disposable money capital see ki n g investments, and this renders it wise to commence One however,of th the legal most successful f oreign to ofthveiethrio localin is . s the Bank of New, South Wales. The Bank of Victoria is even more remarkable ! 4 was commenced in 1852, local titu t banks. io n s net Its Capital is nominally 1,000,0001.; of this 500,0001. i.; subscribed, and of this last 20,000/. is paid up. The reserved profits are 152,0001., and they are about to add a bonus to their shares by paying up calls to the amount of 125,01)01., thus converting the 250,0001. capital into 3 7 5 ,000/.--leavi ng a reserve of about 28,0001. to commence new accumulations—for, though they have made and are making largo profits, they limit their dividends to 10 per cent., preferring to divid e ex t ra p ro fits in the wa y I h ave pointed out. believ e the Colonial Bank of Australasia will be equally successful, and I even think there is room for another local bank, for our banking establishments have certainly not kept pace with the increased resources and trade of the colony since 1851. Another very useful institution not long since established is the Melbourne I Jaderwrikers' Association—a sort of local " Lloyds."' There aro several offices in Melbourne for all sorts of risks —shipping, fire, lives ; but, the new institution, like Lloyds, is composed of some of our most respectable merchants, who:" take a line," as the phrase is, and are only responsible for the sums set opposite to their respective names. This goes by the Earl of Sefton, not a very fast sailer. The Oliver Lang will sail on the 30th inst., and the Royal Charlie on the 22d of May. There is a probability that the mail by the latter will be delivered in London before even this reaches you. The irregularity and uncer tainty .of the mails have induced me to repeat the information as to the state of our gold production and ex ports by several ships, under the impression that such facts as I am able to transmit are of considerable importance to the Statesman as well as the nun-cheat. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIBTY OF BNGLANA CHELMSFORD,- THURSDAY NIGHT. Fine weather and the rethßiticeof the prices of admis sion to the show yard from 7s. 6(1. to 2s. 6d. had the effect of bringing in an immense number of visitors, many thou sands of people having to-day come up by the Eastern Counties Railway, by which yesterday only about 1,200 passengers were brosght from London. In consequence of this the exhibition ground presented throughout the day a most animated appearance, imple ments, cattle, and poultry commanding attention alike, though probably it was the last-named which was the grpat centre of attraction to the ladies, who formed a very large proportion of the visitors. There was nothing in the exhibition itself to call for special notice beyond what has already been observed. The dinner came off this afternoon in a spacious and ele gant pavilion erected at the entrance of the implement yard, and was attended by 1 ,000 persons, among whom were Mr. Bramston, M.P., Sir J. Tyrell, Bart., M.P., M. Bunsen, Professor Wray, Baron de Cetta, Sir W. B. Smith, M.P., C. B. Colville, Esq., M.P., M. Borrier, Lord Berners, Col.

Paxton, M.P., Rev, C. T. James, Mr. A. Ramoud, Mr. H. Foley, M.P., Mr. D. Waddington, M.P., Mr. Langton, M.P., &c. Lord Portman presided, and the Duke of Richmond was vice-chairman. After the usual loyal toasts, Mr. EVELYN DENISON gave that of "Agricultural So cieties at home and abroad." Agriculture, he said, was the most important and the most honourable of industries. This year had witnessed the great meeting at Paris—a meeting worthy of the nation and of the sovereign who in augurated it. The Royal Agricultural Society of England had no intention of rivalling that exhibition, with the re sources of an empire, for theirs was only a rustic show, and they only sought to rival their own neighbours. (Hear, hear.) He must say, however, that there was one defi ciency in the French Exhibition. No horses had been ex hibited there; and if they had been included there might have been an interchange of breed profitable to the two nations. With regard to the exhibition, it was deficient in English agricultural produce. For instance, there was only one cheese, and that was called a Cheddar, although it was made in Scotland. A. neighbour of his had thought that pale ale might show very well by the side of rosy wine. (Hear, hear.) To France; 13elgium, and Switzer land they wished success, as they did to all, for the aim of this society was to give abundance to man, and to supply the true strength of nations. (Hear.) M. GAREAU, who was received with cordial cheers, re sponded, though, as he said, he was a Frenchman, and feared his halfdaneuage would not be well understood by them if he attempted to express his feelings. He hoped they would all go to France next year, and thee be and his friends yeand try to reply to the hospitality of England, to which he now drank success and prosperity. (Cheers.) M. DE TREHONNAIS gave "The Royal Agricultural Society of England," a subject which, he said, partook very much of that spirit of hospitality which distinguished the British agriculturist, and told of a bond of union, knotted upon fields of battle, which had joined them to gether, it was to bo hoped, for ever. The society was called royal, and truly it was so, enrolling amon g its names the best and no bl es t o f the land '• encouraging the itidustri oils, directi ng th e inquirer, encl. adopting as its emblem that sign of civilisation, the plough, an d as it s device ` C Science with practice." Its meetings, however, were not. in royal palaces, where the floors were so slippery, but they were under tieese sheds amid the green Essex fields. En g.ina?e,r,ing had sent t o it s l ev e e mac hi nes t h e mos t use f u l that inventive skill of man hail ever created ; and no w eere could a body of men be found more worthy than he saw in that assembly. One thing which entitled the so ciety to the gratitude of the world was, that it had brought out the hidden wealth of English agriculture, in Inca and things ; and the re were th ousan d s of men w h o owed their livelihood to the improvements which it had introduced, and which had been thought worthy of adoption by the ' world. (Loud cheers.) Lord WALSINGHAM gave "The President of the So. ciety," a nobleman who was an enlightened agriculturist, and had often been a successful exhibitor. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowleging the toast, thanked his brother farmers, who had placed him a second time in that high position. They had formerly sent him to the south ; he came from the west, and knew something of the east; and he had been all his life endeavouring to learn what he could everywhere, and when it was good to prac tise it. They had this year a good exhibition—good imple- ' merits, good cattle, and a good exhibition of company in that room—an exhibition altogether which ihsy wore not ashamed to show to the whole world. (Cheere) Let them compare the ploughs used now with those used 50 years ago, of which he had seen one at work with six horses and six men, and let them mark the improvements in modern ploughs. (Hear, hear.) That week they had seen a great experiment with the steam-plough—which had not, per haps, fully succeeded, but it was on the way to success. Let them look at the improvements which had taken place within 5) years in sowing, reaping, preparing their produce for market, and manuring, and they would say that agriculture in England had advanced wonderfully. (Hear, hear.) So it was also with draining. He knew a field in which lie had seen women making hay in pattens, and now, by a triumph of seience, that land was well drained and dry. (Hear, hear.) Than as to another point. Ho was old enough to remember the first crop of Swedes transported from a garden to a field, and now Swedes wore g i v i n g way to mangel•wurtzel in the rotation of crops. (Hear, hear.) The wan who best knew how to farm now adays was he who applied knowledge and science, and no man could farm successfully without knowing tempera ture, soil, and season. (Hear, hear.) These were the matters which the society for eighteen years had gone through, endeavouring to lead the farmer to improve the cultivation of the soil by competitive exhibitions of stock and implements. And whatever could be made known for the good of the farmer this society had pub• lisped in their journal ; they had provided knowledge of chemistry, veterinary experience for the diseases of cattle, and they saw no horizon before them at which they would ever stop, until they had, as nearly as possible, arrived at perfection. (Cheers.) Sir J. PAXTON gave the health of "the Distinguished Foreigners present." He said that before the existence of that society, seventeen years ago, it was exceedingly diffi cult for agriculturists to obtain the knowledge necessary for the successful pursuit of agriculture, but now every thing was made public for their benefit. He could re member the famous Irish pig, which strongly resembled the Scotch greyhound. (Laughter.) Great improvements upon that animal had been made. With regard to the distinguished foreigners, he was happy to see them present, and he hoped they would see it would be to the advan tage of their respective countrymen not only to establish agricultural clubs, bat to bring their.produoe here. (Rear, hear.) He had heard it observed that this society did not offer many prizes to foreigners, but it must be remembered that the society was only royal in name, not in the amount of its revenues, and that Prince Albert was on l y k nown among its members; as an exhibitor. (Hear, hear.) They had had some very fine animals from France, and among them those beautiful white Charolais, the equals of which had not been seen in this country for one hundred years. The Marquis de VOGUE rose to respond, amidst enthu siastic cheers. He said he spoke very bad English (though, in fact, he spoke remarkably well for a foreigner, but that he spoke with a true French heart. He, with others' had been sent to England to see more of that agricultural 'pro duce of which such magnificent specimens were sent to the Paris meeting, and to obtain a knowledge of the mode by which that English success was achieved. In England, ca pital was abundant, and that was the secret of English success—but in France it was not so ; and, besides, in France, is was rather lazy. (Laughter.) He spoke of ca pital, and not of men, in France ; for her soldiers and her labourers were the same men ; and as they had done great things by the side of Englishmen in the field of battle, as they would do great things united in the field of peace— by digging, and ploughing, and subsoiling. They would thus attempt, by industry and capital to repeal the dismal threats of misery and destitution. (Cheers.) No longer, he hoped, would the people of the two countries have to fight side by side, but labour side by side, and secure the triumphant march of peace and Plenty. (Cheers.) He could not forget how lately, when the landsof France were inundated, and her cattle were eating mud, the Queen of England came to her assistance, and so did the people of England—such tokens of eyrnpathy could never be lost, and he was happy to say the people of the two na tions were friends, and ho hoped they 'would long continue so for the peace of Europa and the h a p p i ness of mankind. '(Loud cheers.) He should be happy to say at home that t England was onee the land of luxuriant crops, well-paid labour, and constitutional liberty—(appl ause )— an d was also the land of hospitality to strangers. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN gave " The Town of Ch e l ms f or d an d th e Local Committee." Mr. BRAMSTOIsT, M.P., responded, congratulating the society that they had now for the first time not only foreign stock, but foreign proprietors and foreign farmers. (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN gave " Agrieulture, Manufactures, and Cgramerce." Lig fv,id t h at as the toad was rather a dry THE LEEDS POISONING CASE. TRIAL OF WILLIAM DOVE. SECOND DAY. The trial of Dove was resumed yesterday morning (Thursday), at nine o'clock, at which hour Mr. Baron Bramwell took his seat on the bench. The court was again crowded, and the approaches to the Castle were thronged throughout the day by parties anxious to bear how the trial progressed, who were unable to obtain admission to the court. There was nothing particular in the appear ance of the prisoner from the account given, yesterday. The trial is not expected to finish before to-morrow (Fri slay) night. Mary Wood, examined bylifr. Overeud—l live on Kirk nearßurley. On Monday, the 25th of February, I went to Mrs. Dove's. "I found her in bed. T,aece was no one with her but Mrs. Fisher. I went again on Saturday evening, at 20 minutes to eight o'clock. She was sitting in bed, in good health and spirits. At eight o'clock Mrs. Dove, addressing her husband, said, " Will you be so kind as to give me my medicine ?—it is time, love." He went behind me, and gave her the medicine in about a minute. She complained of it being nasty and bitter. The husband went out, and said she thought she should get better if the attack did not come again. About a quarter of an hour afterwards she began to be ill. She said to Mrs. Witham, " The gird is coming on, will you come to my back ?" She was propped up in bed with pillows, and three times called out " Off the bed." She died about 20 minutes to eleven o'clock. What she said afterwards we could not tell. She appeared to suffer great pains. Mr. Dove came in before her death, and went out to fetch a doctor, but on his re- turn she was dead. I went along with Hannah Paley to clean Dove's house on the Saturday after the funeral. We had a little dog with us. There was a little blood in Mrs. Dove's bedroom, and I pushed the dog from it with a brush. About ten minutes afterwards the dog fell on its back and died. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—Mr. Dove had had a little drink on the night of his wife's death. He always seemel to treat his wife kindly. I was in Dove's house on one occasion when the servant refused to get him his supper or to get him a glass of beer. I interfered, and the supper and beer were got' for him. I was also present one night when Mr. Dove went out at the back door, which was imme diately lock e d. M r . D ove wen t roun d to the front door, which had been also locked. I went and opened the door, and the prisoner came in. He said it was too bad to be locked out of his own house, took up his supper, and went into the front room and locked himself in. The door was soon afterwards opened, and Mr. and Mrs. Dove seemed reconciled. The blood in the bed room was dried up, and was not larger than a half-crown piece. I lived in the prisoner's father's service 15 years, and consequently knew the prisoner well. Mr. Bliss—What is your opinion as to his state of mind ? Mr. Overend objected to the question. His lordship, having consulted an authority, said he was of opinion that the question might be put to a scientific person, but not to an unscientific person. • Mr. Bliss was beard in support of the question, when the learned judge requested to have the proposed question re peated to him. Mr. Bliss—From your observation of the prisoner's con duct, conversation, and behaviour, during the 15 years you were in the family, did he appear to you, or not, to be of sane mind ? Mr. Hall then argued •in favour of .th e evidence pro posed to be submitted as ground-work for the defence of insanity. Sergeant Wilkins followed on the same side, and argued in favour of the admissibility of the evidence. Mr. Overend, in support of his objection, said the ques tion was one of science, and it was irregular to put it to an unscientific witness. The Judge said if his opinion was asked as to a strict point of law, he should rule in favour of the objection ; but, at the same time, he would leave it to lir. Overend as to the course he would take. Mr. Overend would waive his objection in a case of so serious a nature. Cross-examination resumed—l never thought the pri soner right in his wind. Mr. Bliss—On occasion of the child's being corrected have you interfered, and said, "You did not think him (the prisoner) of right mind The Judge said he could not allow tho question to be asked. Mr. Bliss—Can you tell us of any act he did when you have put him to bed. Witness—Yes, he has placed his back against the bed room door and kept me waiting for half an hour. He used to grin at 'me. On one occasion he placed a lighted candle in a basket, and then put both into a closet. On another occasion he put some candles and salt into a coffee mill, He once hung a cat by the tail out of the window, and set lire to the window curtains. When he was 17 years of age he had the misfortune to fall. He cut himself, and when the wound had healed be cut it open with a knife, thinking it had not healed properly. I also know him prick himself with a knife point to write his name in blood. The prisoner's father was a pious man, but the pri soner could not be readily taught his religious.lessons and duties. That is one of the reasons for Loy forming the opinion as to his state of mind. _ _ _ Re-examined—When the prisoner placed the lighted candle in the basket he was seven years of age. The pri soner was 17 years of age when he set fire to the curtains. Hannah Paley examined by Mr. Bayley—l am a servant residing with the prisoner's mother. On Good Friday I went to the prisoner's house for a dog. O❑ the Batnrday I went with Mrs. Wood to the prisoner's house. The dog went with us. Thera was blood on the floor. It died about ten minutes afterwards. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—l cannot say the dog touched the blood. Mary Hicks, examined by Mr. Hardy—l had known Mr. and Mrs. Dove about four months after their marriage. On the Wednesday preceding her death the prisoner came for we. He said he was very much fatigued. He wished me to speak to his wife about religious matters. He said she WAS very ill. The prisoner took tea with me and Mrs. Dove. I afterwards said I would go home, as I had found Mrs. Dove better than I expected. The prisoner said I had not seen her at the worst. He was sure she would not get bettor, and wished to have more advice. I,was at the house on Friday, when I saw prisoner give his wile her medicine. Mrs. Dove complained of a peculiar sensation in her feet and jaws. Mrs. Dove complained of the strength of the medicine, and prisoner said Mr. Morley had made it three times stronger, to keep off the attacks. After admi nistering the medicine Dove washed out the glass, which he said he always did, the medicine being so nauseous. He said shout this time that his wife would never get bet ter, and Mr. Morley would want a post-mortem examina tion, but he would never consent to it. He also talked about marrying again. When I went home he accompanied me some distance. I wished him to return home, lest Mrs. Dove should have another attack. He said she would not have one before half-past 10 o'clock. I saw the prisoner on Sun day morning. He was very tipsy, and said, " She's gone." When the inquest was being held, the' prisoner said it was held because they lived in a queer neighbourhood, and people knew they did not live happily together ; but it was all moonshine. Oross-examined by Hr. Bliss—The first day I was at Dove's I saw the medicine given to her. She said it was very bitter. very nanse ,us, and the worst she htd ever tasted. When he talked about marrying again, I thought ho had no affection for his wife. Maria Kilham was called, when Mr. Overend said he would leave the witness to his learned friend (Mr. Bliss), as he did not propose to ask the witness any question. Mrs. Kilham was then subjected to cross-examination by Mr. Bliss—l ate sister to the last witness, and accompanied her to Dove's at the time referred to by her. Mr. Dove said he was very glad to see us, and appealed to treat his wife with kindness. On one of the days I was there Dove gave his wife the medicine. She said it was very nasty, Dove asked me to taste it, and I did. It was not very bitter, but particularly disagreeable. Mrs. Dove repeated that it was very nasty. Prisoner talked of Mrs. Witham's kindness to his wife, and he said he should make her a present for it. After death I did not bear prisoner express great agony at her death. By Mr. Overend—The prisoner, in my hearing, said " The shock will not come on yet." I believe that was on Friday, about eight o clock. John Wood examined by Mr. Overend—l live at Burley. On the Ist of March I saw the prisoner, and in conversa tion he several times said he had an income of 901, a-year. Ho said, on account of his wife's illness it laid very hard upon him, as be had to sit up night and day. In the evening I told him his wife was very ill, and he ran to Leeds for a doctor. I saw him again about eleven o'clock, when he said his wife was dead. He appeared to be agi tated, and I think he was crying. I saw him again be tween 12 and 1 o'clock, when he was drunk He previ ously told me to take a coffin board for his wife. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—One Sunday evening after the Doves had lived in Cardigan-place, he appeared de jected, and said he thought it was necessary he and his wife should be parted, or something of that sort. I cheered him up and pacified him, and then he said he would go and take his wife to chapel. After that Mr. and Mrs. Dove came several times to our house, and they appeared to live comfortably together at times. On the 26th of January prisoner received 51. from his executors, and after that he was drunk almost every day. I expostulated with him for spending his money in drink instead of giving it to his wife. He complained of his wife's conduct, and I told him that all women were talkative when their hus bands got drunk, and he must put up with it. The Rev. Thomas Sturgeon, examined by Mr. Bayley.— lam incumbent of Burley. On the 29th of February the prisoner came to me and told me his wife was very ill, and asked me to visit her. He urged me to come soon, as his wife was dangerously ill, and ho thought she had not many days to live. I asked him why he had not come sooner to me, and he said though his wife was delicate she only became seriously ill recently from what he called " spasms on the nerves." I afterwards visited Mrs. Dove and was introduced by Mr. Dove, "My dear, I have brought Mr. Sturgeon to see thee." She appeared to be in a nervous, excitable state. I endeavoured to calm her, and read to and prayed with her. I expected to find her dying, but her voice was tolerably strong. I told the prisoner I was glad to find her better than I expected, and he replied "she was tolerably well when the spasms were off." He asked me to come next morning, and I said I did not see any danger, but he said she might go off in a moment in one of her attacks. I went next morning and Amid her bettor, but oho said she had had a SOTOZO attack [PRICE 4 D. STAMPED f o e f r e s p d a s s o m ma o John Hi c k s , examine d b y M r . H ar dy—l a m a bookseller in Upper H ea l- row , L ee d s. I was ca ll e d u p ' o n Sunday u% th in e h p e r r ev l i i o fe u . s night. She said she never suf . morning, the 2d of March, about half-past 12. I saw the prisoner, and he said, "For God's sake, come down and let me in." I went down, and• found the prisoner very intoxicated, and much excited. I opened the door, and ho said, " Poor Harriet's dead." He was in great trou ble, and said, " Oh, I wish I could weep. I wish I could weep." He solicited me earnestly to go with him, and did. As we were going I asked him about the death of his wife, and be said, "Oh, do not allude to her death at all." He said he was very apprehensive of an inquest being held, and he was afraid they would examine the body. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—l had forbidden him com ing to my house prior to this. Prisoner was fall of lamen tation all the way from my house. He said Mrs. Dove objected to a post mortem examination. Re-examined by Mr. Overend —I forbid the prisoner coming to my house because he frequently came intoxi cated, and also on account of his general conduct to his wife. Henry Rosa, examined by Mr. Hardy—l am a baker at Leeds. I saw the prisoner on the Thursday before his wife's death, at a dram-shop at the bottom of Laud's-lane, Leeds. Mr. Dove gave me a card with his address on, and we afterwards went out. Ho said his wife was poorly, and he thought she would not get better. Mr. Morley thought she would, and she thought so too ; but prisoner did not think so ; and when she was dead he would have a regular jollification. He asked me to go and see him, and I suggested Sunday, but he said I had better not go till after his wife's death. He asked my name, and I refused to give it. I asked him why he wanted to know my name, and he said he wanted to say something to me that he did not want every one to know. He then said he could not live without a woman after his wife's death. He should want reeler his e own e accommodation ; and if I knew of one that would suit him, would I take her down to his house. I said if he took me for a person of that sort, be was very much mistaken-; William Harrison, examined by Mr. Overend—l live at 5, South Market, Leeds. I have know the prisoner for 20 months. When I first knew him ho was living at Nor manton. He consulted me as to what would do his wife good. lam a dentist, &c. lam an astrologer also. Peo ple consult me. Prisoner asked me to cast his own na tivity, which I have never completed for him. In January I saw him at Leeds, at a public house, and read to him something about Palmer's case. There was an allusion to strychnia. Dove said, could I make or get him any? I said, " No." He said, if I could not, he would get some elsewhere. I saw him again at the same house on the Gth of-March, and he told me there was an inquest being held over his wife. He said, " could they detect a grain or a grain and a half of strychnia ?" I said, " Why, have you given her some ?" He said, "No, but he had got some from Mr. Morley's man to kill cats with, and some might have been spilt, and his wife might have got some." I saw him after this at my house. He said, " Mr. Morley has told me they have found poison in my wife ; will they take me if Igo back ?" I said, "If you are innocent, go back. Why be afraid, if you are innocent. They will not take you if yon are innocent." Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—l never saw him but twice when he was not affected with liquor. When he was affected with liquor ho was always talking of being haunted by devils and spirits, and thunder and lightning. He told me he had sold his soul to the d—l, but he be lieved I had greater power over devils than him, and could send devils to his wife, to frighten her out of bed, to come back. That was when they were not sleeping together. He said sdinetimes that there were devils and spirits in his house—was there no means of getting rid of them? Ho imputed the thunder and lightning to the d—L I at tribeted these speeches to delirium tremens. He never came to me to put a spell on Mr. King, to get his farm back. He many times applied to me to torment his wife, to make her go back to his bed. Re-examined by Mr. Overand—The only times when I saw the prisoner not drunk were on the 6th and 7th of March. By the Judge—l did not at all encourage the notion that I could remove the devils the prisoner complained of, nor that I could act upon his wife as ho wished. Ho did not explain what he meant by selling his soul to the d—l. By the Foreman of the jury— ?listener said nothing about the devils and spirits on the Gth and 7th of March. Ann Walker examined by Mr. Bayley—Witness corro borated the statement of Harrison as to the conversation between him and the prisoner respecting strychnia. William Storeg, of Leeds, broker, examined by Mr. Hardy—Was at the New Cross Inn on the tith of March, when Harrison and the prisoner had the conversation al luded to." Witness heard Dove use the word " a grain, or a grain and a half," but did not hear what they applied to, further than that an inquest was being held. Elizabeth Brown, examined by Mr. Hardy—l am housekeeper to Harrison. Dove came to his house on the 7th March. I heard Dove say that they had found poi son, and what must he do? Harrison said, "Go house, and if you're innocent, they'll not take you." Thomas Glover Frost, examined by Mr. Bayley—l keep the Victoria Shades, near the railway station, Leeds. Prisoner was at my house on Thursday, the Gth of March. He asked me if I had heard he had lost his wife? I said I hed out. He asked me about disposing of his furniture —whether he should lesFp'6ta hones on, or sell his furni ture. I advised him to sell off and go into lodgings. Ho then introduced the subject of strychnia, and showed me with a little snuff how much would poison me. I asked him what strychnia was. The prisoner said ho was suspected of having poisoned his wife. He asked me whether he would be required at the inquest, and I told him I did not know. I said, "If you have poisoned your wife, your own conscience go with you." He appeared quite calm, and said he had given his mother-in-law and his sister his wife's clothes. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—The prisoner and his wife had been at my house during the life of the latter, and they appeared to be on good terms. He showed me his wife's wedding ring. He told me he had some strychnia of Dr Morley's young man. Elizabeth Jenkins, examined by Mr.Overend—l am the mother of the late Mrs. Dove. My daughter was married in 1852. She was 23 years of age when she died. She and the prisoner were married at Plymouth. They went to live first at Bramham, and afterwards at Normanton. (Letters were here put in referred to in the opening state ment for the prosecution.) I went to see my daughter in her last illness, but when I got to Leeds she was dead. I saw the prisoner on the 4th of March, when he showed me his wife's ring, said he had had it made a shade larger, and I could not think but that he should marry again. I said I hoped he would never put that ring on any other woman's finger, He showed me the bottles of medicine he had got for his wife. He kissed his wife's corpse and said, " Lord Jesus, so teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom." On the day of the adjourned iu quest he asked me, "Do you know that oil of almonds will kill a person ?" and he added, " Belladonna they can not detect." He took a bit of salt in his hand anti said there is a poison that will kill by so much, and it can be discovered in a wan, but not in a woman. (The letter seat by the prisoner from York Castle was hero put in end read.) Before Dove and his wife went to Leeds I heard complaints, and I went over to lei ormanton in October. Negotiations were entered into for a separatioe. It was fully understood on both sides that they should separate, and the prisoner was to allow his wife 201. a year. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss The prisoner seemed in different as to whether his wife remained with him or not, but finally all was amicably settled, and at times after the prisoner and his wife were agreeable together. On one occasion the prisoner threatened to shoot me and to shoot himself. That was in January, 1855. I did not hear him say that he had one ball for me, one for his wife, and one for himself. Ho bad been drinking at this time. re-examined by Mr. Overend—My daughter had made some complaint to me. I said the prisoner was the ca use of the state of perterbation she was in, and he then fetched the pistols, and male use of the threat I have al luded to. Mrs. Risdon, examined by Mr. Hardy—l am sister of the late Mrs. Dove. I was at Leeds with my mother after the death of my sister. My mother said " I wish I had been here sooner, to toe my poor child die." Prisoner asked me what my mother meaut by that ? I said he had anied deceased to have hysterics by his conduct, and he said she had not hysterics—it was something else. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss— My sister was once sub• jest to hysterics iu consequence of trouble at losing a bro. ther. I have seen her in hysterical tits at the time of my brother'e death. Her appearance was that of spasms at the stomach. She had twitchings ; that is, her arms moved sharply and suddenly. It was not like a galvanic shock, or anything of that sort. She might be in a ner vous state for a short time after the death of her brother. Ottiwell Kell, examined by Mr. Bayley—l am the core ncr's officer at Leeds, and on the 7th of March I appre hended the prisoner. I received a piece of carpet from Mrs. Wood, some marks upon which I have compared with marks upon the floor of Mrs. Dove's bedroom, and found them to correspond. I searched the prisoner and his house, but did not find any strychnia. John Elletson, examined by Mr. Overend —I am a pupil of Mr. Morley, surgeon, Leeds. I knew Mr. Dove, who came to our surgery for medicine. About a month before his wife's death he had some conversation with me about Palmer's case. He said Palmer poisoned his wife with antimony. He said Cook had been poisoned by strych nine, which could not be detected. I said it could, and I mentioned nitric as one of the tests for it. I showed him Dr. Pereira's " Materia Medico." on the subject. He took it into his hands, and road the passage I referred him to. After he had read it, he said his house was infested with wild cats, which he wished to got rid of, and he thought laying some poison would be the best way to destroy them. He asked me for some strychnine, and I gave him 10 grains. I wrote "poison" on the packet, and told him to be care ful. He took down the antimony bottle, either then or on another occasion, and said that was what Palmer poisoned his wife. The strychnine bottle contained a drachm or so ; about GO grains. After this ho said he had laid the poison, but some of it had got washed away with the rain. There was another cat he wanted to kill. and he asked for some stychnia, and I gave him about five grains, marking the packet " poison" as before. This would be a week or a fortnight prior to hisiwife's death, nearer a fortnight than a week. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—He said the wild cats be longed to some people who lived in the next house. The people had gone, and the cats had turned wild; strychnia was mentioned after ho hal t a lk e d about the wild cats. I believe it wt.s first mentioned by him. He said the cat was buried in the midden, Peacock w;)s present in the surgery on one occasion—l believe both. The conversa tion about Palmer's mso was beforethe prisoner mentioned the cats. James Bailey Peacock, examined by Mr. Hardy—l am surgery-boy to Mr. Morley, and remember Dove coming to the surgery. 'Witness detailed the conversation between last witness and Dove, respecting strychnia and antimony, in similar terms to Elletson. John Win. Scarth, examined by , Mr. Bailey—l am a puail of Mr. Morley's. I know the prisoner. I was fetched by him on the 25th of February last. Mrs. Dove was in bed. She complained of great pain at the chest, and there was clenching of the bands , and the teeth closed together. The jaw was closed. The head was slightly thrown back and the shoulder likewise. The feet seemed to be stretched straight out. On the way to the house the prisoner said, " If my wife were to die would the coroner require an in quest ?" I told him I thought not, except in case of acci dent, poisoning, or sudden death. He then said, " Would ' Mr. Morley require an examination ?" I said Mr. Morley bad in many cases, and he said he should not give his con. wag uve would not con: :=. Dove on the Thursday night, when I noticed the Nan a° 7roptores, b ut in a more aggravated form. /ter princi pal .'tomplaint was about pain in her shoulders. The head 7 aid s boulders were thrown back. The attack passed_ off while I was there. draught of medicine was given to her wb ich tad been pr e . scribed by Mr. Morley that morning. I r over noticed such symptoms as those of Mrs. Dove's case 1 s..fore, but I have not attended a case io which strychnia had been taken tl.at I anew of. On Saturday nig:lt I tol sl Mr. Morley that Elletson told 'no he had sold seine stry. dials a short time be ar° to Dove. On the Thursday after .tfrs. Dove'a •death I got a boy to dig a cat oat of the midden behind Dove's house. It was examined in my preset ca. I have seen the prisoner at Mr. Morley's more than once a day. Cross examined by Mr. Bliss—l did not notice any archs ing of the body of Mrs. Dove. I thought at the time she was suffering from Borne derangement of the nervous flys. tem. I asked if there had been any foaming at the mouth, and I was answered there had not. Tho spasms I saw- on the Tharslay were not of short 'duration as spasms. They were not so intense on the previous Monday. The cat we found was a large cat. Re-examined by Mr. Overend—lt not occur to me about Elletson having supplied Dove with strychnia until after I heard of Mrs. Dove's death, on the Saturday night. I sap. posed the cause of the symptoms to lie in the nerves. or to bo attributable to some agent acting on the nerves. Some of the symptoms were such as I should expect to see in hysteria; but taken as a whole, they were not symptoms of hysteria. Wm. Renton, examined by Mr. Overeni—l am conc.'s man to Mr. Morley. I have often seen prisoner at the tun. gery since last Christmas. During the week prior to his wife's death I saw him. On the Wednesday he said to me, " I have offended Mr. Morley to-day by saying that my wife would not get better." I said, you should not have said so, bee suss it's apt to make people vino are ill worse to talk in that way. He said he thought his wife would not get better because she had fits. The prisoner was in the surgery for some time alone that night. Messrs. Morley, Nunasley, Teals, Ward, R. Hey, Dr. Hobson, and Dr. Chriatison were called to prove the medi cal part of the case for the prosecution. All these gentle. men declared their belief that the deceased died by strych. nine, and not of hysteria, as was suggested for the defence. This closed the case for the prosecution, and the Court adjourned. THE DREADED PEACE AT LAST 1 ( From the Sycinell Empire of April 19.) And so we are to have a peace ! There is little doubt of it ' • but what a peace I Even now, wh en th e Alli es have Russia in their power, literally in their grasp, wheys she must be reduced to nearly her last rouble—end they know it —they study her dignity before their own honour, look to her support before the preservation of Turkey, and in deference to her pay not the slightest regard to the permanent tranquillity of troubled Europe. In the spring of 1854 Baron Brunow, the Czar's ambassador at the Court of St. James's, took his unobtrusive leave of England, where the name of his imperial master had become a byeword of scorn and execration to the people. But ere two years have elapsed, after whole hecatombs of illustr;ous warriors have been sacrificed to his dreaded ambition, the same repress sentative of his policy makes a triumphal entry into Paris, and before " the points" are even discussed the Russian ambassador's hotel there is defiantly illumi nated. The plenipotentiary of the arch-enemy of Europe had outstripped all the envoys from the other Powers, that he might first gain the ear of Louis Napoleon, and digest with him a secret which the world will hereafter wonder at. For this is not to be a peace given to the conquered, but one suddenly coalesced in by him.. Its propositions are thus far only vague and incomprehens ible. Yet, this we feel, that the legitimate proeosetion of Turkey will, in the spirit of that term, be subse quently abandoned; and that, therefore, England has spent her life and her treasure in vain. Some one of the European Powers will be the gainer by this mockery of amity—not, however, the Sultan. Not only is not a w, rd said on the subject of disieurse menti by Russia to the Allies, but the expenses of the war incurred by Turkey at the provocation of her here ditary foe are not even hinted at. The Emperor of the French has paid the Ottoman Sovereign the doubtful compliment of conferring upon his Highness the Grand Cross of the Legion of Hcnour. But will that, or any such flattery, shut the eyes of his Divan, to the nos inerous loopholes contained in the five points which would enable the Czarto easily pounce upon his prey at any future opportunity? The Crimea is to be restored to Russia ; the Eastern coast of the Black Sea is to be dotted with her armed fists as of old ; and Nicolaieff, with a rising navy growing rapidly on the stooks, is not to be regarded as a port of the Euxine. At any time, then, she may suddenly pour forth the strength of her arsenals and dockyards, which, unnoticed by the mariner on the neighbouring sea ; lie bidden on the banks of its tributary rivers ; and she will do it. . So that, if these points be acceded to, Nicholaieff and Ktserson net being included amongst the ports, the dynasty of Abdsol-eledjicl in six years will cease to- be recognised in the coveted city of S'ameoul. " All is n e geld that glitters." And Austria, the solitary power to be 30 particularly benefitted by this patched-up pence, may yet, and at no very distant day, have to rue the contemptible part she has all along played in her diplomatic transactions. 'With out a doubt, she has a right to plume herself on the success of her adroitness in thus, with out having lost a single life in the great cause at stake, bringing about a peace for her own personal advantage, and the salvation from utter finan cial ruin of our ever-hopeful enemy. But in the doing of this deed she has exposed her own fears, and. there• fore weakness, to so great a degree as in turn to have cast herself on the patronage, if not the protection, of France. Will not Russia make her repent it ? Even now, it is said, she is in dread of that union being ulti mately effected which the great Napoleon so strongly recommended viz., a Russo-French allienese. But there are cards yet to be played, and something more to be won ; whence, "it is whispered that Aus tria has agreed to give her support to the Emperor Napoleon should he demand the annulment of that convention of 1815 which excluded the fa mily of Napoleon the Fir•t from the throne of France. " She has the satisfaction of knowing that her wishes have been acceded to, in that neither Prussia nor any of the Getman States " shall be allowed to partici pate in the deliberations" about to take place. She has also had her revenge against her old adversary - Colonel Tubb, whom England permitted her to first judge and condemn to death, and then, out of respect for the ap plication made by our Government in his favour, to mercifully pardon. But, if we mistake not, Austria will not much longer carry the bell. The protocol expressive of the "willingness of the belligerent powers to treat for peace," bas been already signed by their representatives at Vienna ; the formal preliminaries to it will be so at the meeting of the Congress, which would take place about the 21st February. No true Englishman, nitsr perusing the pro positions said to have been accepted, can fee exalted or cheerfully satisfied with such an impotent conclusion to all the fervour and glorious enthusiasm which was still animating the whole nation to see justice done to op- - pressed Turkey. This is the result—before the object has been attained—of all our mighty preparations to pa ralyse, for half-a-century at least, the means in the heeds of the Czar to profit by his neighbour's weak ness. The cause of Poland is shelved. We' shall hear little more of Italy. If Hungary move, it will henceforth be by the assistance of the Czar. And what of Sweden? Will her alliance with the 'Western Powers be forgotten by the Russian Cauinet ? Is she to be betrayed, and in the next European embreilment lose Norway for that anticipated interference ? There is something unholy about this zontemplated peace which makes it rather prophetic of pernicious than of fortunate results to the nations concerned It holds forth no prospect of genial durability. It seems but as an apology for shitting the scenes of bloodshed, and changing the role which each of the great actors has hitherto unsuccessfully per. formed. Naval and Military Intelligence.
