There are several offices in Melbourne for all sorts of risks—shipping ; fire, lives ; but the new institution, like Lloyds, is camoosed - 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 nato::.s.

ROYAL AG.RICULTURAI, SOCIETY OF ENGLAN D. CHELMS'FOREtatittrEpaY NIGHT. Fine weather and the redUeticili of the priceioridniii sion to the show yard from 75. 6d. 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 brotsght 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 great centre of attraction to the ladies, who formed a very largo 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. Brarnston, 31. P., Sir J.

He hoped they would all go to Prance twit year; entlebliettlie, and his friehA tito reyllf to the or Efigieride‘ to whiteth he now &Mile success and prosperity. (Cheers.) M. DE TREHONNA IS 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 spas to be hoped, for ever. The society was called royal, and truly it wee ee ; enrolling among its names the best and noblest of the land • encouraging the indnstri ons, directing the inquirer, andadopting as its emblem that sign of civili3atien, the plough, and as its device " Science with practice." Its meetings, hoWeVer, Were not. in royal palaces, where the floors were so slippery, but they were under those sheds amid the green Essex fields. En gineering skill had sent to its leVee machines the most useful that the inventive skill of mat} had ever created ; and no where could a body of men b e f oun d mo r e W or th 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, iu men and things ; and there were thousands of men who owed their livelihood to the improvements which it had introduced, and which had been thought worthy of adoption by the world. (Loud cheers.) Lord WALSINGH iM gave "The President of the So ciety," a nobleman who was an enlightened agriculturist, and had often neen 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 ments, good cattle, and a good exhibition of company in that room —an exhibition altogether which they were not ashamed to show to the whole world. (Cheers.) Let them compare the ploughs used now with those used 50 years ago, of which he had seen ono 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. Lot them look at the improvements which had taken place within 5 / years iu 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 he had seen women making hay in pattens, and now, by a triumph of science, that /and was well drained and dry. (Hear, hear.) Then as to another point. He was old enough to remember the first crop of Swedes transported from a garden to a field, anti now Swedes were g i v i ng w ay to mangei-wurtzel in the rotation of crops. (Hear, hear.) The man 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• lished in their j ournal ; the y hod provided knowledge of chemistry, veterinary exparionee 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. PAxesON 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 made. happy se e them regard present, r t e o s e t n h t e , the Scotch greyhound. (Lau g hter.) Great improvements upon that animal had beeneii was distinguished foreigners, he and he hoped they would SO it would be to the advan tage of their respective countrymen not only to establish agricultural clubs, but to bring their produce here. (Rear, hear.) He hail heard it observed that this society did not offer many prizes to foreigners, but it must be remembered that the society was only ro y al in name, not in the amount of its revenues, and that Prince Albert was only known among its members as an exhibitor. (Rear, 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 0118 hundred years. The Marquis de VOGUE rose to respond, amidst enthu siastic cheers. He sail 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 s uccess—but in Franco it was not so ; and, besides, in France, it 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, ho 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 lands of 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 sympathy could never be lost, and he was happy to say the people of the two na tions were friends, and he hoped they would long continue so for the peace of Europa and the happiness of mankind. (Loud cheers.) He should be happy to say at home that England was once the land of luxuriant crops, well-paid labour, and c Institutional liberty—(applause)—and was also the land of hospitality to strangers. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN gave " The Town of Chelmsford and the Local Committee." r. .I, : es e e, see, :itrti ) ., osois—' cougratuletieg the society that they had now for the first time not only foreign stock, but foreign proprietors and foreignfarmers.

The Royal Charter arrived in Hobson's Bay on Wednes day the 10th instant, having sailed from Plymouth on the 17th of February, having thus made the voyage in 59 days, being the shortest passage yet made. The Frances Henty bailed out of Port-Philip as the 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 he:., but, as the Oliver Lang May be 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 Februny have not yet arrived. Tae principle upon which the Royal Charter is built Bald equipped seems to me to be that which is most likely to reduce the voyage from Englan' to Australia to as near an approach to a certainty as is pos-ible. She is, in the first place, a full-riggrl clipper ship, capable of the great est speed which has et 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 Ilona. 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 300mi1ea 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 10i tons of coil; 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 pros sure of steam was 1116. , Thus her remarkable voyage w as ma d e p r i nc ip a llYlOY means of her extraordinary sailing powers, and her sinew 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 33 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 car • not but admire the thorough English pluck of the owners of the Royal Charter in thus trying a new s'enture. 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 *ilia be , tween the coast of England and Melbourne sebm to me to prove that the auxiliary screw fitted to a ship of the best sailing powers fulfils all the omoditions upon which a rapid voyage depends. The N.E. trade is a fair wind, the SE. trade is now made a fair wind by the present Method ci great circle sailing, or rather the " composite Cour*" as it is called, which is as near an approach to the gruat.'elrele as is practicable. Th e wes t er l y winds whili irtie 4 !tia to the southward of the latitude of the Oitire 'II& always fair all the, year round. With the*s_e fait winds, which cover about 5-6ths of the voyage, Steam is on'y an incutehrance. Anti liary steam peVar is useful and necessary in three 'obeli ties-1. F 1 ,5111 the port of departure to the northern limit of the north-east trade. This is net aktettkii hieestiOs, as the wind that blows has often, 1 thay Say, generally, plenty of northing in it. 4. Oteam is necessary in cross ing the belt of eqttatokial calms. - This also is greatly nar rowed by the tonnes steered in recent times. Ships used to cross the equator as far to windward as possible—say, about i 2 deg. west longitude—they now data rinuols fur ther west—say 32 dog. As the belt of calm!) paerow 4 ii gra dually to the we s t war d , i t is ftequelsily 'OnlY threee el- friar degrees.: By crossing well to the Westvirilai ships have carried the north-east trade to 4 deg. 30 north latitude, and have met the eiskith.east trade even north of the line, varying wills the season of the year. 3. After losing the south-east trade there is the " belt of varieblet" to he crossed, until the ship is run into .theloyaitlig westerly wind. In all th e a b ove three ltkaritfeas ate auxiliary screw comes into play. Fottia liiSe , le: six days runs the ship into the north-east trade; t*fs' days (and perhaps even less than one, under good esahagement) push her across the belt of equatorial caloa s . Fear, five, or six day!! ni re bar if her from the south ern e d ge of the sotirth-east trit e Aerobe the variables to the l a tit u d e o f the *ettArly bin s—a latitude 1 which also varies with the *Mons. Sometimes even in the generally constant hbith-east trade there will happen an unusual or abnormal check. In the south-east trade this is lose Ohusual ; a south-east gals will eotnetinnetikliers power the prevailing %vastest , winds. tlltS3e would, of course, increase the demands tton the crew; but, on the other hand, these anotealons winds will be sometimes com pensated by a fait wind out of the Channel:and by equal good leek across the belt of variables. 'On the whole, Ido not think the screw will often be needed during inore than 15 days. The voyage must., in feet, be Made by flag sail ing powers of the ship; the sire*. midst be treated as auxiliary. _ , It would net u 1 prise me if the Lightning, the James Baines, and the Donald M'Kay, with some of the Paittest s e a c :ews expedients,. lf the a of the rival line, should be at ones fitted with auxiliary Londonti with owners owf i a sh lar t i o ei. m e a it i:ain their position iu the passenger trade, they must resort to the One word as to the overland relit°, AS it is somewhat abEurdly called. That MIA necessarily be emphatically a steam voyage. :Prom Melbourne to Singapore or Point de Galle is what sailors call a " dead beat." It will require powerful stamen's, and by their aid the Whale voyage ceb, I have no doubt, be performed in 51 days. It is very itn= portant to reduce the voyage too sie siX or seven dais less th"..n the two months 461 or 64 days: If, for instance, the ships sail regularly on a stated clay, say the Ist of every month, and the voysso, without casualties, be 55 days— the due day of the mail will be the 25th or 26th of every month: this would give five or six days to answer letters, add the course of post would be 116 days only. The voy age to Sydney is 48 hours; to Hobart Town about the same ; hence to give the people of those cities time to answer letters by the first return mail it will be necessary to quicken the voyage by about 50 days. This may be effected by despatching our mail steamers direct to the Ited Sea without calling at Point de Galle. Gold—The pike of gold is 31. 165., but add the duty, freights, insurance, weighing, km, and the cost to the pri vate shipper in London is 41. Os. 84d. But as the banks sell their exchange at 2 per cent. premium, they nearly save the insurance, their gold cleating, laid down in Lon don, 31. 19s. id. The prevailing price at Ballarat and Castlemaine has of late been a trifle 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 15,354 ounces. The quantity received daring the first three months of 1855 and 1856 was as follows ; Ounces. First quarter of 1855 407,294 First quarter of 1856 747,241 I have no reason to believe that there is the slightest check upon the quantity actually obtained at the principal diggings. From the increased use of machinery I am confident the recent aversaes will be at least kept up, and I think increased towards 'the latter months 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 bend cial to this colony, 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 our production carries across the seas to Europe. I believe the production of wool in New Zealand alone is cap able of being worked incite 10,000,0001 b., and the pas tures of Australia are not fully occupied. To occupy them profitably, however, requires better means of com munication. The completion of the Melbourne, Mount Alexander, and Murray Railway, commenced and now transferred to the Governtnent, 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, nearlAtchoetnepeleet side. tew ill T c h o ie n l n a e s c t t ie M t e h l e bo te u r r in ne ie w us it e h f the e 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. Money 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 class: Tho Bank of Australia has again declared a dividend for the last half-year at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum, the Union at the rate of 27 per cent. The Colonial Bank of Australia—a popular bank en the Scotch principle, with 1,000,000% of capitol, in small shares of 101., which was so strenuously but unsuccessfully opposed by the Bank of Australasia, on th e groun d that the latter had a monopoly of the name o f "A ustralas i a, " and that the prefix " Colonial" was only colourable—has just commenced business with every prospect of very marked success. There is a strong prestige in favour of the local banks. The profits enrich local shareholders, and aro not sent out of the colony. In our early days, w h en capital was the great want of all these colonies, there was a great and manifest aclv.ntage in derivi ng it from.

THE LEEDS PoISONII'dG CASE. TRIAL OF WILLIAM DOVE. SECOND DAT. 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 erowded; and the approaches to the Castle were thronged throughout the day by parties enxioue to bear bow 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"uot expected to finish before to-morrow (Fri day) night. ~......Mary Wood, examined by Mr. Overend—l live on Kirk stall-road, near Burley. On Monday, the 25th of February, I went to Mrs. Dove's. I found her in bed. There was no ono with her but Mrs. Fisher. I went again on Saturday ' evening, at 20 minutes to eight o'clock. She was sitting in bed, iu 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 hack?" 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 bed-room, 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 bad had a little drink on the night of his wife's death. He always seemed 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 locked. Mr. Dove went round 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 n half-crown piece. I lived in the prisoner's father's service 15years, and consequently knew the pritlener well. Sir. Bliss—What, is your opinion as to his state of mind ? Mr. Overend Objedted to the question. His lordship, having corstilted 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 learncds;tulatc . recatiosted to have the proposed question re peated to rife. Mr. Bliss—From yet& crheervation 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: • I-fall then argued in favour of the evidence pro posed if; 'id evibinitteca as ground-work for the defence of insanity. Sergeant Wilkins followed on the sense akcle, and argued in favour of the admissibility of the evidence. Mr. Overend, in support of his objection, said the ques tion ()NJ of S*llG9, and it was irregular to put it to au unseleat The Jadge said if bi 4 cti'inicvn rtes asked as to a strict point of law, he shonid role in favour of Vie objection ; but, at the earns time, he would leave it to Mr. Oveeend as to the reuse he would take.

Mr. Bliss—Can you tell us of any act he slid when you have put him to bed. Witness—Yes, he has placed his back against the bed roo:n door 33(i kept me waiting for half an hour. He used to grin at we. 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 fire to the window curtains. When he was 17 years of age he had the misfortune to fall. He cut himself, and when the wooed had healed he cut it open with a knife, thinking it had not healed properly. I also knew him prick himself with a knife point to vrrite his name in blood. The prisoner's father was a pious man, bat the pri soner eotild not be readily taught his religious lessons etial duties. That is one of the reasons for my forming the opi :don as to his state of mind. Re-examined—When the prisoner placed the lighted candle iu the basket he was seven years of ogre. The pri soncr was 17 years of age when he set fire to thc curtains. Hannah Paley examined by Mr. Bayley—l am ael Mart residing with the prisoner's mother. On Good Friday I went to the prisoner's house for a dog. On the Saturday I went with Mrs. Wood to the prisoner's house. The dog went with us. There was blood on the floor. It died aboui, ton 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 ere, iisoner came for me. He said he was very much fatigued. He Wleteed 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. Iv;SC at the house on Friday, when I saw prisoner give his wife 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 about 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 ho 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. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—The first day I was at Dove's I saw the medicine given to her. She said it was very bitter, very cause nis, and the worst she had over tasted. When he talked about marrying again, I thought he had no affection for his wife. Maria Kilham was called, when Mr. Overend said be would leave the witness to his learned friend (Mr. Bliss), as he did net propose to ask the witness any question. Mrs. Killian' was then subjected to cross-examination by Mr. Bliss am 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 repeate d that it was very nasty. Prisoner talked of Mrs. Witham's kindness to his wife, and he said he should 'take her a present for it. After death I did not h ea r 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-1 live at Burley. On the let of March I saw the prisoner, and in conversa tion he several times said he had an income of 901, a-year. He said, on account of Isis wife's illness it laid very har he d upon him, as be had to sit up night and day. t 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, w hen he said his wife was d ead. He appeared to a tated, and I thin k he was crying. I saw him agai be n b gie tween 12 and 1 o'clock, when he was drunk Ho 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, ho 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 25th of January prisoner received 51. from his executors, and after that he was drunk almost *very 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 Hr. Bayley.— I eau incumbent of Burley. On the 29th of come y e s e b o rroyun ill, l y, as a t hn h i d e s h lla is e w to ife Co w in a a p s r k i seodn emrecatomveistiot m 4e e r a . nd Er t e ol u d rg m e e d wife was dangerously ill, and he thought she had not many days to live. I asked him why he had not come and he said though his wife was delicate she sooner me, . only became seriously ill recently from what he called " spasms on the nerves." I aftei wards visited Mrs. Dove and was introduc ed by Mr. Dove, "My dear, I have brought Mr. Stur ge on to see thee." She appeared to bs in nervo as, 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 'WAR glad to find her better than I expected, and ho " s/',3 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 found her bettor, but she said oho had had a acme Attack .:,- ' 14 •:," '.; , . ;, , ~ , 7 9, iii ~ ..„,,.. 4.-. ~,,: i ;• , i 4; lo .-;,_, . • _,. , , • .

John Hicks, examined be Mr. Hardy—l am abo okseller in Upper Heel-row, Leeds. I was ca l l ed u p on Set tela, morning, the 21 of March, about half - past 12 . I 69. V. the prisoner, and he 321 d " FOIL' God's sake, come down a . 'd let me in." I went tlown, and found the prisoner vele intoxicated, and much eeeeited. I opened the door, and he said, " Poor Harriet's deed." He was in great trou ble, and seid, " me, I w i s h set -ill weep. I wish I could weep." He solicited me earnestly to go with him, and I did. As we were going I asked him about the death of his wife, and he said, "Oh, tio not shuns to her death at ell." He s lie was very apprehensive of an Lequest being hell, and ho was afraid they would examine the body. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—l had forbidden him coni ing to my house prior to this. Prisoner was full of lamen tation all the way from my house. He raid Mrs. Dove objected to a post mortem examination. lie-examined by Mr. Overend—l forbid the prisoner earning to my house because he freqtteetly came intoxi cated, and also on acceuut of his general conduct to his wife. He -,ry Rose, examined by Mr. Healy---I am a baker at Leads. I saw the prisoner on the Thursday before his wife's death, at a drain-shop at the bottom of Laud's-lane, Leeds. Mr. Dove gave me a card with his address on, and we afterwards went out. He said hie wife was poorly, and be thought she would not get bettee. Mr. Morley thought she - eould, and she thought so too ; best prisoner did not think so ; and ivheu she was dead, he would have a regular jollification. He asked me to go and sed him, and I suggested Sunday, but he said I had better not go till after his wife's death. Ho asked my rain°, 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 deethe eHeshould -want satefor,his own accommodation ; • and if I knew of one that would snit him, would I takeher down to his house. I said if he took me for a person of that sort, he was very much mistaken , William Harrison, examined by Mr. Overond—l live at 5, South Market, Leeds. I have know the prisoner for 20 months. When I first knew him he was living at Nor wanton. He consulted me as to what would do his wife good. lam a dentist, ko. 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 6th 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. Mosley'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 tale) 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 you 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 he 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.-1, 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 sometimes that there were devils and spirits in his house—was there no means of getting rid of them ? He imputed the thunder and lightning to the d-1. I at eribeted 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 mike her go back to his bed. Re-examined by Mr. Overend—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 he wished. He did not expl du what he meant by selling his soul to the By the Foreman of the jury— erisoner said nothing about the devils end spirits on the 6th and 7th of Meech. 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 eth 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, farther thin that, an inquest was being held. Elizabeth Brown, examined by Mr. Hardy— I am housekeeper to Harrison. Dive come to his house on the 7th March. I heard Dove say that they had found poi son. and what must he do? Herrison said, "Go home, and if you're innocent, they'll not take von." Thomas Glover Frost, exerained. by Mr. Bayley —I keep the Victoria Shades, near the railway station, Leeds. prisoner was at my house on Thursday, the 6th of March. He afeAecl me if I had heard he hail lost hi; wife? I said I had nu'. He flaked me about disposing of his furniture —whether he should keep his house on, or sell his furni ture. I advised him to sell off and go into lodgings. He then introduced tbsesubject of etrychnia, and showed me vsSeh a little antler how much would poison me, I asked hini what strychnia was. The prisoner said he was sumpectel 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-eicarnioed by Mr. Bliss—The prisoner and his wife had been at my house during the life of the latter, and they appeared to be or good terms. He showed me his wife's wedding ring. He told me he had some strychnia of Dr Morley's young man. Elizebeth Jenkins, examined by Mr.Overend—l am the mother of the late Mrs. Dove. My daughter was married in 1852. Sho was 23 years of age when she died. She and the prisoner were married at Plymouth. They went to live first at Brambane, and afterwards at Normanton. (Letters were here put in referred to in the opening state ment for the prosecution.) I went to see my dauguter in her last Meese, but when I got to Leeds she was id. 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. Isaid I hoped he would never put that ring on any other woman's fine, Ho showed me the bottles of medicine he had g ot 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 in quest ho asked me. "Do yon 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 and said there is a poison that will kill by so much, and it can be discovered in a man, but not in a woman. (The letter sent by the prisoner from York Castle was here put in and read.) Before Dove and his wife went to Leeds I heard complaints, and I went over to Normanton in October. Negotiations were entered into for a separation. 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 hied ife remained with him or not, lee finally all was amicablsettled, and at times after the prisOUet and his wife were agreeable together. On one occasion tfle , 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. He had been drinking at this time. Re-examined by Overend—My daughter had made some complaint to me. I said the prieoner was the cause of the ertate of perieerbation she was in, and be then fetched the pistols, and made use of the threat have al luded to. Mrs. Risdon, examined by Mr.llart! v—l am sister of the late Mrs. Dove. I was at Leeds with my, mother after the death of my sister. Sty mother said ' I wiah I had been here sooner, to son my poor die." Prisoner asked me what my mother meant by that? I said he had cased 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 ject to hysterics in consequence of trouble at losing a bro ther. I have seen her in hysterical fits at the time of my brother's death. liar appearance was that of spasms at the stomach. She had twitchinmis ; that is, her arms moved sharply and soddenly. It was not like a galvanic, shock, or any: king of that sort. She might be in a ner vous state for a short time after the death of her brother. 0 tti well Kell, examined by Mr, Bayley—l am the coro ner's officer at Leeds, and on the 7th of Mareh I appro. hendel the prisoner. I ieceived a piece of cerpet 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—l 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 Pahner's case. He wild 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 " Ms.teria Medico" on the subject. He took it into his hands, and read the passage I referred him to. After he had read it, he said his house was infested with wild cats, which he wished to get rid of, and he thought -laying some poison would be the best way to destroy them. He asked me for some strychnine, anal 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 60 grains. After this he 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 hisevrife'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 lial talked about the wild cats. I believe it was first mentioned by him. He said the cat was buried in the midden. Peacock was present in the surgery on one occasiou—l believe both. The conversa tion about Palmer's Case was beforethe prisoner mentioned the Ja cats. mes Bailey Peacock, examined by Mr. Hardy —I am surgery-boy to Mr. Morley, and remember Dove coining to the surgery. Witness detailed the conversation between last witness and Dove, respecting strychnia and antimony, in similar terms to Elletson. John Wm. Scarth, exami ned by Mr. Bailey—l am a pupil of Mr. Morley's. I kuosv the prisoner. I was fetched by him on the :esthof February last. Mrs. Dove was in bed. She complained of great pain at the chest, and there was clenching of the hands, 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 Inv wife were to die would the coroner require an in -OL.Oi t ?" I told him I thought not, except in case of acci dent, poisoning, or sudden cle.ttli. He then said, " Would 4 Mr. Morley require an examination f' I said Mr. Morley had in many caeca, and he dud he eheuld net giye ilie 0011- ,~ 4 // ' 7' sent nor would any of his family, j He said he was sure Mrs. Dove would not consent. I saw Mrs. Dove on the Thursday night, when I noticed. the same symptoms, but in a more aggravated form. Her p!incipal complaint was about pain in her shoulders. The head and shoulders were thrown baok. The attack passed off while I was there. A draught of medicine was given to her which had been pre scribed by Mr. Morley that morning. I never noticed such symptoms as those of Mrs. Dove's case before, bat I have not attended a case in which strychnia had been taken that I know of. On Saturday night I told Mr. Morley that Elletson told me he had sold some strychnia a short time. before to Dove. On the Thursday of ter Mrs. Dove's death I got a boy to dig a cat out of the midden behind Dove's house. It was examined in my presence. I have seen the prisoner at Mr. Morley's more than once a day. Cross-examined by Mr. Bliss—l did not notice any arch• ing of the body of Mrs. Dove. I thought at the time she was suffering from some derangement of the nervous aye. tern. I asked if there had been any foaming at the mouth, and I was answered there had not. The spasms I saw on the Thurslay were not of short duration n.,s spasms. They were not so intense on the previous Monday. The; cat we ound was a large cat: Re-examined by Mr. Overend—lt not occur to me about nlotson having supplied Dove with strychnia until after I h e; grd of Mrs. Dove's death, on the Saturday night. I sup. loos ed the cause of the symptoms to lie in the nerves, or to IV , attributable to some agent acting on the nerves. Some o f the symptoms were such as I should expect to see in h) 'Aerie ; but taken as a whole, they were not sympt oms o f by. ‘t eeitte 7 1 n. Renton, examined by Mr. Overend—l am coach man t ) Mr. Morley. I have otten seen prisoner at the sur gery ei nce last Christmas. During the week prior to his wife' g n ,ath I saw him. On the Wednesday ho said to me , " I have offended Mr. Morley to-day by saying that m y wife %%would not get better." I said, you should not have said co, because it's apt to make people who are ill worse to talk iu thet way. He said he thought his wife wouli net g better bee ruse she had fits. The prisoner wee iit the surgery for some time alone that night. Melers. Morley, .hTnnneley, Teale. Ward, R. Hey, Dr. Hobson, and Dr. Christison were called to prove the medi cal p srt of the case for the prosecution. All these gentle men declared their belief that the deceased died by stryche nine, sand not of hysteria, as was suggested for the defence. TL's a closed the case for the prosecution, and the Court adj e ut . ned. THE' DREADED PEACE 42 LAST I (p m " the Sydney Empire of April 19.) And so we are in have a peace! There is little doubt of it ' • but what a peace I Even now, when the Allies have Russia in their power, literally in their grasp, when she must be reduced to nearly her last rouble--and 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 slighbest regard to the permanent tranquillity of troubled Eurtope. In the spring of 1854 Baron Brunow, the Czar's at nbassador at the Court of St. James's, took his nnobtrua ive 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 illustrious warriors have been sacrificed to his dreaded ambition, the same repre 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 illumis nutted. The plenipotentiary of the arch-enemy of Europe had outstripped all the envoys from the other Powers, that be might first gain the oar 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 protection 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 word said on the subject of disburse ment 3 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 Honour. But will that, or- any such flattery, shut the eyes of his Divan, to the nu merous 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 metered to Russia ; the 'Esstern coast of the Mack Sea is to be dotted with her armed fetes as of cod ; and .Nicolaieff; with a rising navy growing rapidly on the stocks, ii not to be regarded as a port of the Ermine. At any time, then, she may suddenly pour fortir the strength of her arsenals and dockyards, which, unnoticed by the mariner on the neighbouring sea ; lie hidden out the banks of its tributary rivers ; and she will do it. Se that, if these points be acceded to, Nicholaieff and Kherson not being included amongst the ports, the dynasty of Abd-sl-Medjid in six years will cease to be reoognised in the coveted city of Stamooul. ' "All is not geld that glitters." And Austria, the solitary power to be so particularly benefitted by this patched-up pence, may yet, and at no very 'distant easy, have to rue the contemptible part the has all along played in her diplomatic' traneactions. With out a delibl - , she has a right to plume herself 'on the euccees of her adroitness in thus, with out having lost a einole life in the great cause at stake, bringing about a peace for her. own personaloscivantage, and the salvation.from 'utter flows-- - - oral ruin of our ever-hopeful enemy. Bet 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 alliance. Bat 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 sholild he demand the annulment of that convention of 1815 which excluded the fa mily of Napoleon the Fixot 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 German 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 iu his favour, to mercifully pardon. Eut, it 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," has been already signed by their representatives at Vienna ; the formal preliminaries to it will be so at the meeting of the Congrt ee, which would take place about the 21st February. No true Englishman, after perusing the pro positions said to have beta esicepted, can feel 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 hands of the Czar to profit by his neighbour's weak nese. 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 Cabinet ? Is she to be betrayed, and in the next European embroilment lose Norway for that anticipated interference ? There is something unholy about this contemplated 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 shifting the scenes of bloodshed, and changing the role which each of the great actors has hitherto unsuccessfully per• formed.
