SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Tory Journals are elated at the result of the con test for the representation of the Eastern Division of the county of Gloucester. We admit their perfect right to a fair quantum of exultation, provided they will as sent to conclusions fairly deducible from the success of their candidate. Mr. Codrington. The Tories are cer tainly entitled to a fair triumph in their defeat of Mr. Tracy Leigh ; but their idea that the result is attribu table to any reaction in public opinion is truly absurd. Mr. Codrington possessed the advantage of having al ready canvassed East Gloucestershire at the general election in December 1832, and he necessarily had all the organised influence which such a circumstance gave him. Moreover, he was in the field several days before his opponent. The parsons, also, on this occa sion, fought for their very lives, and as so many stations of Toryism throughout the country, formed a power ful political union against Mr. Leigh. But does this contest prove the ekistence of any real majority against Liberal Opinions ? Certainly not. A third of the County Constituencies, throughout England and Wales, are the creatures and mere slaves of the Tory Landowners, and driven by them to the poll. The Magistracy and Lieutenancy of all the counties, with few exceptions, are rank Tories ; and all the civil offices of authority are vested in the same political species. The insidious clause of the Marquis of Chandos, thrust into the Reform Bills, enfranchising the tenants "without will," brings up to the poll so many serfs of the land-proprietors. Many of the county poll-books, at the election of 1832, displayed a topographical map of political influence ; or, as it is technically termed, " the tenants followed the land lords." . Now, it is notorious that the majority of farmers. are neutral in politics, ill-informed, steeped ill prejudices, especially on . the subject of the corn laws. As a class, they take little interest in questions of general reform. The squire and the parson, in open voting, array them at the hustings as mutes are stationed by an undertaker. But what are the relative numbers in the large towns and populous villages, where chiefly is to be assayed the real power and movement of public opinion ? We advise the Tories to view this side of the scale, in their next esti mate of the comparative advance of liberal and illiberal opinions. They may occasionally and partially suc ceed in liocussing the electors of some of the counties and smaller boroughs ; but their prudent course, unless self-deceit be more agreeable, is to change their standard of calculation. Another test of the conscious ness of deceit in the Tories is their vehement objec tion to the introduction of the Ballot. They well know the effect of that great specific for corruption and intimidation, and that it would knock off the fetters of their political slaves. If Mr. Tracy Leigh had won the election by the majority of his suc cessful opponent, our remarks would equally apply. We repeat, that the wonder, under all these circum stances,. is the numbers, not the paucity, of the inde pendent minority who supported the Liberal candidate. We direct the attention of the Tories to Cambridge, Edinburgh, and Nottingham, as a set-off against East Gloucester. We now turn to one particular incident in this contest—the exhibition of a political Judas — a Mr. Jenkm Thomas—a Dissenting Minister, who appeared as an. advocate of Mr. Codrington ! How this Reverend. Gentleman can reconcile such conduct to his conscience, however flexible, we are at a loss to imagine. Mr. Jenkin Thomas, the partisan of a Tory candidate, who was the notorious opponent of negro emancipation, and a representative who will vote against all measures for the relief of the Dissenters next session ! We do not doubt that the enlightened members of the Dissenting body in the neighbourhood of this curious person will testify the sense of his poli tical apostacy. 'We should like to see this election hermaphrodite.—Morning Chronicle. We observe from the Scotch papers, that, in con sequence of the fatal accident which lately took place from the bursting of the boiler of one of the steam carriages which have been running on the road be tween Paisley and Glasgow, and by which several passengers lost their lives, an interdi c t (i n j unc ti on ) has been t obtained from a Court of Law, prohibiting the carriages from continuing to run. We are not sa tisfied either as to the legality or the expediency of this judicial procedure. In the infancy of every at tempt which human ingenuity has made to obtain a command over the elements, and to mould them into instruments of mechanical power, these attempts have been attended with repeated, and often disastrous failures. But, if the law had been allowed to in terfere and put a stop to such attempts as often as any accident arose from the immaturity of the contrivance, we never should have possessed those inventions which have made ruch changes in the state of society all over the world. What would have become of Arkwright's machinery—of steam naviga tione—of illumination by gas ? or, to come closer to the case in hand, what would hav e b ecome o f steam con veyance on railways ? In every one of those cases, the accidents, attended with the loss of life, have been innumerable. These have arisen, sometimes from the imperfection of the newly invented machinery, and sometimes from carelessness or awkwardness in its management. But this is the first time we have heard of the law interfering in the matter. Nobody is ob liged to make use of one of these new contrivances. It is adopted or not, according to the opinion entertained of its safety ; and the effect of an accident, in putting an end to public confidence (or at least suspending it) is the proper check to the danger of any great mis chief from the premature use of such contrivances. We remember, a good many years ago, when .gas lighting was beginning to be introduced into private houses in Edinburgh, a great sensation was occasioned by an explosion, attended with loss of life, in a gentle man's house ; and a stop was put, for a short time, to the- progress of. gas-lighting in private houses. This was the check to the evil arising from the danger of accidents ; and it was quite a sufficient one. In the same manner, nobody can doubt that the late accident on the Paisley-road would have been quite sufficient to deter any person of common caution from putting his foot into any of these carriages till the inventor was able to show that care had been taken to provide against a recurrence of the danger. It may be ob served that the interdict is only the first stage ; and we may suppose that, after a hearing, the Scotch Local Judge will refuse to sustain it. At all events, should the matter come by appeal to a superior Court, this interdict would at once be dismissed.—Morning Chronicle. It is impossible to look at the proceedings of the East India Directors in apportioning the relative com pensations to the members of their civil and their naval service, who had alike suffered a total loss of employment from the cessation of the Company's trade with the East, and not be struck by the enormous superiority of favour bestowed upon the gentlemen of the desk and warehouse, over that intended for the meritorious men and officers who, in the guardianship of the treasures entrusted to them, had braved the storm, and met their country's enemies in battle. There never stepped on the deck of a man-of-war more skilful, honourable, or gallant seamen than .the great bulk of those by whom the ships, either regular or extra, in the Company's service, had been navigated for the last 40 years. For some time past the oppor tunities enjoyed by that class of persons for eking out their poor wages by small commercial ventures, had been much abridged by the Company, and now it is confessed on all hands the remuneration afforded them in acknowledgment or recompense of what they have lost under the new charter, and as a farewell from their old employers, was scanty and penurious to a degree which hardly any one could approve but some sordid and skinflint housewife.

Yesterday Jonathan Davis, late a timekeeper in the employ of the Chelsea Water-works Company, was brought up in custody by police constable Drake, of the B division, and placed at the bar before Mr. GREGORIE, charged with absconding from his employers with a sum of money, and also with obtaining several sums of money on their account. The prisoner bad been in the employ of the Chelsea Water-works Company for about five years, and was ge nerally entrusted to pay the men from being the time keeper, as it was considered that he knew the best what each man had earned. On Saturday, the 12th of July last, the prisoner went to Mr. Halford, the landlord of the Chelsea Water-works public-house, and asked for 101. to make up the money to pay the men. The landlord knowing the pri soner and his business let him have the money instantly. He also went to the landlord of the High House public house, at Pimlico, on the same pretence, for 101., which he would have got, but the landlord had not got so much change ready. He then went to Mr. Rubigall, a market gardener at Thames Bank, near the Water Works, and got 101. from him for the same purpose. He then went to Mr. Simpson, one of the principal persons about the Water Works, who always gave him the money on Saturday to pay the men, and received of him 101. to pay the men. With the money thus received he decamped the same evening. A reward was immediately offered for his apprehension by the Company ; but, notwithstanding the police have been after him ever since, no trace could be found of him until yesterday morning, when police con stable Drake saw him in Grosvenor-place, and instantly apprehended him. On making inquiry it was discovered that he had taken his passage for New York on board one of the line of packet ships, which vessel was to leave the Docks on Friday (this day), and that all his luggage was shipped on board. The prisoner was remanded, and the constables were directed to go to the Docks and get the prisoner's luggage out of the American vessel. The prisoner was then removed. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Mary Ann Cocknoe, aged 20, and Sarah Ry land (her sister), aged 22, were brought before Mr. Rogers, in the custody of Cray, 199, G division, charged by Mr. Newman, furrier, of Greville-street, Holborn, with having been concerned in robbing him of plate, china, glass, wear ing apparel, and other property to a considerable amount. The prisoner Cocknoe, who is a fine-looking person, stood at the bar crying, and on being called upon for her defence she did not deny having taken the property, and pledged it, but she afterwards saw Mr. Newman, who pro mised not to hurt her if she gave him the duplicates, and she sent her sister with them. She meant to have made up the other property missing. She was fully committed to Newgate for trial, and the other prisoner was admitted as King's evidence. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday James Grant, alias Coburgh, the driver of one of Bardell's Alile-end omnibuses, was brought before the Hon. G. C. Norton on the following charge:— Leggate, the timekeeper at the Mile-end-gate, and who has been appointed to his situation by the proprietors of omnibuses plying to and from that place for the purpose of enforcing a numer of rules which they had adopted for the proper regulation of-the omnibuses and the convenience of the public, and who, in order to be the better enabled to carry the duties of his office into execution, has been sworn in a constable by the magistrates of this establishment, stated that for several days past the prisoner had con ducted himself in such a manner as to create the greatest disturbance and confusion at the omnibus sta tion. Witness repeatedly remonstrated with him on the impropriety of his conduct ; but it was all to no purpose, and all he got in return was the most scurrilous abuse, and the prisoner, instead of taking his six minutes' time like other omnibuses, set all their regulations at nought, drove about the public road to ply for passengers, and started whenever he thought proper. He also drew up his omnibus on the public road and pathway, so as to obstruct the free access of the passengers, and doing so on that day took him imhe orde re d hi m to go on, an d on hi s re f us i ng to do so he offhis box into custody. prisoner, who denied a great part of the charge, was fined 305., and in default locked up. THAMES POLICE.' William Miller, the master of the collier brig Asia, was charged on information with an offence under the West India Dock Company's Consolidated Act, in causing his vessel to be placed within two hundred yards of the entrance to the South link at Blackwall, being contrary to the 101st section of the Act of the 1 st' and 2d of William IV. Mr. BROVEIUP read an extract from the Act, by which it appeared that the defendant was liable to a penalty of 101. for mooring Jis vessel within the prohibited distance, and to a farther penalty of .5/. for every hour the vessel was suffered to remain in that situation. Mr. Foy, the superintendent, said the Company were only anxious that the entrance to the Docks should not be obstructed. They would not, therefore, press the case farther than for the first offence. The defendant accordingly paid the fine for the first offence immediately, and withdrew. MYSTERIOUS DEATH FROM POISON, AT CHATHAM. An investigation, which has occupied Mr. Hinde, one of the Coroners for Kent, and an intelligent jury, five entire days, and has given rise to fearful suspicions, and excited intense interest all around, was late on Wednesday night brought to a conclusion at the Wellington Arms, Chatham. The deceased, Mr. William Madden, a man of advanced years, and possessed of considerable property, it is believed about 5,0001., was proved to the satisfaction of the jury to have died from the combined effects of arsenic and prussic acid, but by whom administered remains involved in the deepest obscurity. That he could not have procured the poisons himself there is the strongest ground for believing, inasmuch as he has, for the last eighteen months, been too infirm to stir out of the house, and required to be assisted in dressing and undressing, and in the other most common offices of life. He was a married man, and had several children by his wife, but had many years ago wholly alienated him self from his family, and had lived successively with different females on the Continent, and different parts of England. He had for the last seven years cohabited with Miss Mary Ann Green, a female about twenty-six years old at the pre sent time. They lived together first in France, afterwards at Dover, and within the last three years they came to Chatham, and had there lived at No. B,Waterloo-place, a genteel resi dence, the freehold of which the deceased' had purchased. The father of Miss Green, who holds a situation in the Dock yard, lived with them in the same house, as also did two illegitimate sons, one ten and the other thirteen years old, which the deceased had by a female he formerly lived with. He had no family by Miss Green. About two years ago, hi consequence of the destitute condition to which the wife of the deceased was reduced, the guardians of the poor of Chatham felt called upon tot:interfere, and the deceased; to prevent more unpleasant proceedings, consented to assign over to, trustees a sum of 8501. Three per Cents., the in terest of which his wife. was to receive during life, he re serving to himself full power over the reversion of the prin cipal. By his will he has bequeathed the bulk of his pro perty to Aliso Green. In consequence of the 'rumours in circulation, Mr. Green and his daughter deemed it proper to employ Mr. Pratt, an attorney of Chatham, and a medical gentleman of the same place, to attend the inquest on their behalf. Mr. Hills, attorney, likewise of Chatham, was em ployed by the family of the deceased. Several of the jurors took very full notes of the whole of the proceedings, which were extremely voluminous. The following is a general outline of the evidence taken during the five days the inquiry occupied : William Madden, an illegitimate son of the deceased, aged thirteen, deposed that he and his younger brother lived with the deceased at No. 8, Waterloo Place. Mr. Green and Miss Green also lived in the same house. The fo -- .-.ler he had been always taught to call grandfather, and the latter mother. On Sunday, the 30th of July, his father, after tea in the evening, complained of a pain in his side, and was assisted into bed by mother about eight o'clock. Shortly after he was in bed father jumped up and said, " Oh, my dear Mary, I am not long for this world. I hope God will bless you all. Oh, my side, my side." Mother rubbed his side, and he kissed her. He only lived about a quarter of an hour after being attacked. Mother, on his being attacked, ran out to get somebody to assist, and returned with Rebecca Crandell. On their return my grandfather said, " He is no more." Mother said he is only asleep, and went up to the bedside and kissed him. Nurse came soon after, and laid him out. Grandfather (Mr. Green) went out after dinner, and did not return till between seven and eight o'clock in the evening. With the exception of grandfather they all had tea together. Mother made the tea. Father had dinner by himself up stairs, as he was poorly. Mother carried his dinner up. It was baked lamb, with potatoes underneath, and French beans and apple dumpling, and a glass of beer. Father did not eat all the dumpling, and witness's brother ate the rest. None of the beer was brought down stairs. Mother brought down the glass empty. Father and mo thei lived happily together. Mother was always kissing him and he mother. Father was 78 years old. Witness's brother was reading the Bible aloud when father was taken ill. Grandfather told witness he would have lb give evi dence. James Green, the father of Miss Green, after being cau tioned by the Coroner that he need not give any evidence which could criminate himself, was examined at great length. He is a respectable-looking man, and was dressed in deep mourning. He deposed that he was a rope-maker, and was employed in Chatham Dockyard. He and his daughter lived in the house of the deceased, No. 8, Waterloo-place. Witness, in the course of Monday, called on Mr. Essell, an attorney of Chatham, and asked him if he had not bet ter write to Mr. Madden, jun., who lived in London, or to Mr. Taylor, the son-in-law of the deceased, who lived in Chatham, informing him of what had taken place. Mr. Essell advised him to write to Mr. Madden, jun., which he did that very evening. —(The witness produced a copy of the letter, which merely communicated the fact of the de ceased's death as having taken place very suddenly on the Sunday night.) The next evening Mr. R. G. Dobs, phy sician, of Chatham, and Mr. Greenley and Mr. Jeston, surgeons, of the same place, came and searched the front room where the family were at the time. He told them to do as they thought proper. They did not tell him that they found anythinc , that was wrong. They then went up stairs, and the undertaker was sent for to unscrew the cof fin. Witness thinks Mr. Madden, jun., and Mr. Taylor were present. Witness followed them up stairs. On the opening of the coffin the smell was very offensive. He staid as long as he could endure the smell. Whatever the me dical gentlemen required he prepared. Thinks the deceased was 78 years old. No poison was ever kept in the house to witnesses's knowledp. The deceased had not been well for a length of time. He was much troubled with pain in the left side. Mary Ann Green, the daughter, after receiving a caution from the Coroner, gave evidence to the following effect : The deceased was well on the Sunday morning. He com plained of heat very much. After he had taken his break fast she asked him if he would get up.? He said, 6 , No, he would have another nap." She had taken him up a basin of coffee, two slices of bread and butter, and an egg. He ate and drank the whole. After preparing dinner, consist ing of loin of lamb with potatoes under, and an apple pud ding by its side, she sent it to the baker's. She again went to the deceased's room, and changed his linen and washed him, as was her custom. She then repeated her inquiry as to whether he would get up, to which he answered, " No, but put my chair close to the window." She afterwards cleaned his two sons. She took him his dinner up stairs, consisting of baked lamb, potatoes, boiled French beans, apple pudding, and a glass of porter. She drank part of the first glass, and his son a little out of the second. Part of the dinner came down stairs, and deceased's youngest son ate it. After dinner she went up stairs and sat with de ceased, and his two sons read to him out of the Bible. They had tea at 6 o'clock. She cut a round of bread, and one of his sons toasted it : she buttered it and divided it into four pieces. He ate three pieces and she the remaining one. The deceased gave his crust s to hi s sons . At d us k h e re- tired to bed. She and his two sons sat in the room by the window. About half an hour after he had laid down he jumped up in bed, and exclaimed " Oh, my God, my God." She instantly ran to his bedside. He complained he had a pain in his side, and she rubbed it. He then said, " Oh, Lord Jesus help me ; 0, my God, my God! I shall not be long with you, my dear girl." She screamed out to the child to call in his grandfather (meaning her father). On his entering she ran for Mrs. Crandell, but she could not come, and her daughter - Rebecca came back with witness in her stead. When they got into the room her father said, " He is no more." She replied, " perhaps he is asleep," and went up and kissed him. Her father answered, " Don't talk so foolish and ignorant ; he is no more." The woman came shortly after and laid out deceased. Did not tell Rebecca Crandell that the deceased was dead before they got to the door. She did not give Rebecca instruc tions as to what she was to say. Did not tell her, if Mrs. Hameson asked who was dead, to say, " A friend." Did not know of Mr. Essell having made the de ceased's will. Did n o t k now o f the deceased having recently received any considerable property. The deceased could sign his name, but witness's father wrote his letters for him. It was a year and half or two years since the deceased was last in the street. She knew that Mr. Taylor, of Chatham, was son -i n -l aw to the deceased. Did not give him notice of the death, as they (meaning herself and father) were not intimate with him. Thinks it would have been to her interest to h ave pro l onged deceased's life. He had no gin and water that evening. He more frequently had it than not. Is positive he h a d none that evening. The youngest child was in the room when she gave the deceased the glass of porter. Thomas Madden, aged 10, the son alluded to, distinctly denied that he was in the room when the glass o f porter was given to his father. He knewof its being taken, be cause he could hear the conversation from below. H ear d his father desire his mother to drink first. Mr. George Essell, attorney, of Chatham.—ln January, 1831, he was called upon to make a deed, at the instance of the guardians,of the poor at Chatham, by which the de ceased'assigned over the interest of 8.501. Thre e p er C en t s . for the m a intenance of his wife, the deceased retaining the reversion of the principal to himself. In September of the .`. µ *3 '` } .-:,;..: .~:'d.~ ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER,, A ce. 12. There was no case of any particular interest in either of the Courts. The following was Before J. Anntsoy, Esq., as Assessor of the Sheriff, and a - Sheriff's Juiy.:4: - COACH ACCIDENT.—DRIVER 1t PETHERSTONE. This was an inquiry before the Sheriff to assess the da mages claimed under the following circumstances : The plaintiff is a gentleman in the employment of the Woods and Forests as a surveyor, and on the sth of Oc tober last he was a passenger by the mail from Kendal to Liverpool. On entering the latter town he came outside, and went on the roof. The coach stopped at the Angel Inn, and the coachman gOt down and did not leave any person to take care of the horses, who, finding themselves uncon trolled, started off. The plaintiff was thrown off, and most severely injured, so much so that his life was despaired of for a considerable time, during which he was attended by three medical gentlemen ; and, independently of the loss of his time, he was put to an expense of between 2001. and 3001. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 500/. WESTERN CIRCUIT.— WELLS, Auousr 12. Lord DENMAN set out from Bodmin on Wednesday,and spent two days with M. Gore, Esq., in this county, and on Saturday his Lordship dined with the Rev. S. Smith, on which day the Commission was opened here. On Sunday both the Judges dined with the Bishop. Lord DENMAN presides in the Civil Court, and Mr. Justice PATTESON in the Crown Court. The calendar is exceedingly light ; it contains sixty-four names, and none of the charges are of a heinous nature. There arc thirty causes in the cause list, one of which (being an issue from the Court of Chancery to try the validity of a will) has excited considerable interest in this county. Sir J. Scarlett has come down specially on behalf of the defendant. The question at issue is whether the testator was of sound memory at the period of his writing the CROWN COURT.--(BefOrp Lord DENMAN.) Daniel .21Iarogh was indicted for wilful and corrupt per jury. The prisoner was a jobber, who was in the habit of fetching cows and pigs from Ireland, to sell in this ne►gh bourhood. On the 2d of February last lie charged two persons of the names of Crudge and Sutton, labouring men, with having robbed him of 130/. on the high road near Dulverston.' They were both committed for trial at the Spring Assizes at Taunton, but the Grand Jury ignored the bill, and recommended that the prisoner should be pro secuted for perjury. He traversed until the present Assizes. Crudge and Sutton, the persons charged with the rob bery, had been working at a bridge contiguous to the place where the robbery was alleged to be comiitted on the day in question ; they saw the prisoner pass by, and did not touch him. It appeared from his depositions before the Magistrate that he swore that he had previously sold fifty-two pigs, for which he had received 1301., which he kept in a bag hung from his neck, and close to his breast. Verdict--Guilty. To be transported for seven years. William Gibbons, aged 22, was indicted for assaulting and wounding his wife with a red-hot poker. Mary Gibbons, wife of the prisoner, was washing some things on the 12th of July, when the prisoner came home very tipsy and asked her for money to buy a pipe and to bacco, saying that he had spent all his money at the pub lic-house. She said she had none. He put the poker into the fire. She went out about a quarter of an hour, think ing he would go to bed. When she returned he locked the door, and said he would kill her unless she gave him money. He then struck her with the red-hot poker on the shoulder. Her handkerchief took fire. He knocked her down, and struck her several times with the poker on the legs and her body. She cried out " Murder," and one of the neigh bours came to the door, but could not get in, as it was locked. The woman burst open the door, and witness was enabled to get out, but was so exhausted that she was obliged to lean against the wall. Verdict—Guilty. Lord DENMAN sentenced him to two years' imprison ment, and at the expiration of that time to enter into re cognizances to keep the peace towards his wife for five years. Thomas Lacy was indicted for robbing Elizabeth Hyde of half a sovereign ; he had previously put her in bodily fear. Verdict—Guilty. Lord DENMAN doubted whether it could be considered a robbery, as she was not put in fear ; but the prisoner was tried for having burglariously entered the house and steal ing some trinkets and wearing apparel ; and being found guilty he was sentenced to be transported for life. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday John Williams, Thomas Hobbs, and John Me redith, the drivers of three Paddington omnibuses, appeared at this office on summonses,before Mr. HosiciNs, each in his turn charging the other with furious driving and block ing up the road. _ _ HosxiNs fined Hobbs and Williams 40s. each, be sides costs, and Meredith was excused on payment of the expenses. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1834. same year the deceased called on him, and said he wished to assign over the reversion of the principal to his house keeper (Miss Green) and her father, as they were very attentive to him. He asked if he Vended his lawful chil dren to participate, and deceased answered, " No, they should neither participate in that nor in any other way." Witness remonstrated with him, and in answer he endea voured to justify himself by reflections on the moral cha racter of his wife, and said, " As to his children they had already had much of his money, and should have no more." Witness declined taking his instructions at that time, and advised him to re-consider the matter and call again. He went away angry at witness's refusal. He urged Mr. Green t o use hi s i n fl uence to i n d uce th e d ecease d t o d o justice to his children. Some time in June, 1833, witness attended the deceased at his residence, when the deceased said that the Greens had prevailed on him to do something for his children, and that he meant to give them 501. each out of the 8501. stock, and there would then remain 5001., to which he would add another 5001., to be divided between his two illegitimate sons,-and all the residue of his property he would give to Miss Green. A will was prepared in con formity with these instructions, and the executors were Mr. Parton, Mr. Green, and Miss Green. At the same time the deceased gave up a former will, dated 29th January, 1831, by which he gave his wife and children one shilling each, and left all the remainder of his property to the Greens. This will was attested by T. Church and Eliza Hall. Mr. R. G. Dods, a physician, of Chatham, deposed to having opened the body in presence of Mr. Jeston and Mr. Greenley, surgeons, and removed the stomach, the contents of which he subjected on the following day, at his own house, to various experiments in the presence of those gen tlemen. Animoniacal nitrate of copper, ammoniacal sul phate of copper, and sulphurated hydrogen were severally applied to distinct portions of the contents of the stomach, and each afforded the characteristic precipitates indicative of the presence of arsenic. He afterwards attempted a re duction of the suspected fluid into metallic arsenic, and found traces of metal, but on account of a fracture of the tube from not being properly annealed they were not able to perfect the experiment. He considers that the other proofs, all concurring as to the evidence of the presence of arsenic, were quite satisfactory. He also applied tests to other portions of the contents for the detection of prussic acid. He applied sulphate of copper, and sulphate of iron, and nitrate of silver separately, and all these afforded all but positive conclusive evidence of the presence of prussic acid also. From the indications given by the tests em ployed, coupled with the morbid appearances found, and the symptoms of disease detailed by the witnesses, he was de cidedly of opinion the deceased died by the action of com pound poisons. Mr. Jeston, surgeon, of Chatham, corroborated the evi dence of Dr. Dods as to the application of the tests. He considered the presence of arsenic in the stomach to have been clearly established. He also thought the proof as to prussic acid very strong, but not decisive. Mr. Greenley, surgeon, of Chatham, also concurred with Dr. Dods as to the proof being perfect of the presence of arsenic in the stomach, but ,could not go with him as to the prussic acid. He had doubts as to the latter poison. A Juror here expressed a wish to have Mr. Green re called. He was accordingly sent for, and came in a short time. The following examination then took place : Juror—You stated you were in the room when Mr. Madden died ? Mr. PRATT—You need not answer unless you like ; mind that. CORONER—I told you before you were not bound to state anything that could criminate yourself. A surgeon, Dr. Newsom, the reporter understood, and who was said to be employed by Mr. Green, called out, Answer the question ; tell everything ; you have nothing to fear." The witness then said, " Ves, I was present." Juror—And who were present besides ? Witness—l deelineanswering that. Dr. Nevvsom-LAnswer it, answer it. Witness—l have no objection to tell. When he died his two sons and myself were present ; my daughter, to the best of my belief, was not in the room. Juror—Did you do anything to the body previous to the woman coming to lay it out ? Witness—l put a half-crown on each eye. Juror—Did you tie up the jaws by putting a handker chief under the chin ? Witness—l can't say whether I did or not ; I cannot recollect. I assisted in laying out the deceased. Juror—That was after the woman came. I want to know what you did before she came. Witness—l cannot be certain whether or not I put a handkerchief round his head. The Juror said he had no more questions to ask. The CORONER told Mr. Green he might retire, or he was at liberty to stop if he pleased. Mr. Green retired. Mr. Whitehead, undertaker, proved receiving the order for the coffin early on Monday morning, and was desired by Mr. Green to get it ready as early as possible. It was to be an elm coffin with furniture. Was told the deceased died suddenly. He took the measure of the corpse, which was that of a corpulent man. The body at the time was still warm. It was not usual to be called on to measure a' corpse till it had become cold. 111 r. R. Tribe , surgeon, - ofChatham, had attended the deceased two years ago for a pain in his side, which witness attributed to disease of the heart. Such a disease was likely to terminate in sudden death. Dr. Dods recalled—Denied that there was any disease of the heart likely to produce sudden death. Mr. Tribe was invited to attend the post ntortem examination, but declined doing so. The CORONER, in summing up, observed, that as to the tests employed, they were by no means infallible, for it was a fact, and he knew it to be the opinion of an eminent che mist, that the natural secretions of the stomach would pro duce the same results as in this case were stated to be the effects of poison. It appeared remarkable that the tests should apply to the presence of two poisons. He thought it not likely the deceased would, if he meditated suicide, swallow both ; and still less probable that any party would administer both to him, because the appear ances would be more likely to lead to detection. There was no proof of the purchase of any poison, or that any was in the house. The circumstances connected with the apple-pudding and the beer had been satisfactorily ac counted for. He advised them to take no notice of the rumours they might have heard. The undertaker had re commended the early closing of the coffin on account of the heat of the weather and the corpulency of the deceased. The body itself, it seemed, presented no remarkable ap pearance. Mr. Essell made the will, and the deceased assigned his reasons for so disposing of his property. Be sides, it did not appear that the Greens knew the nature of the will. Supposing they determined on a verdict of natural death, they might say died by the visitation of God ; or supposing they considered poison to be the cause of death, they might find that he died from poison, but whether taken of his own accord, or administered by some other party, there was no evidence to show. The Jury continued closeted about an hour and a half, when they brought in the following written verdict :—" It is the opinion of - this Jury that the deceased died from poi son, but by whom administered the Jury have no evidence before them to show." EXPORTATIONS OF BULLION.—It appears by the Official Returns relative to the actual shipmehts of gold and silver coin, for the week ending on Thursday last, that there has been a considerable increase in the exportations. Some large amounts of gold have been shipped to the United States, in which, in consequence of the Bill that has passed the Legis lature of that country enhancing the value of gold coin, both domestic and foreign gold is in demand. It is understood that within a few weeks not less than half a million sterling, chiefly in gold coin, has been forwarded from London, Liverpool, and other British ports, to the United States. The shipments are, however, on the decrease. The actual exports from the port of London in the week ending on Thursday were as follow:--Of. gold coin to New York, 34,400 ounces ; to Lisbon, 3,300 ounces; and to Hamburg, 700 ounces ; making a total of 38,410 ounces. Of silver coin :—To New York, 17,100 ounces ; to Lisbon, 20,400 ounces ; to Smyrna, 9,400 ounces ; to Calais, 182,718 ounces : and to the same port, silver in bars, 58,000 ounces ; making a total of silver in coin and bars exported of 287,618 ounces. SINGULAR DEA TH.—On Thursday morning, about five o ' cloc k, th e b o dy o f J ames B um b y, clerk of Low Harrow gate Church, was found in a water trough adjoining his resi uence at Pannell. It appears that on Wednesday morning he left home to go to Knaresborough Market, and on his return had taken too much liquor. It is supposed that in attempting to drink out of the trough he fell in head foremost, and being unable to extricate himself he was suffocated. He sas seen within a quarter of a mile of the trough, about half-pAt nine on the evening previous. The deceased was sixty-three years of age, and had been' eleven years clerk of the church.— Leeds Intellzgencer. LEEDS AND SELBY RAILWAY.—This great work is now within a few weeks of being completed, and at a meeting of directors and subscribers, held on Thursday, at Selby, it was determined that the railway should be opened on Monday, the 22d of September. There are two points where the road is not yet finished, namely, at the crossing of the Rorrian road, eight miles f rom L eeds, and at Milford, twe l ve miles from Leeds. In about three weeks the warehouses and o ffices of the company at the Leeds end will be ready ; before which time it is expected that a locomotive engine making by M ess rs. Fenton, Murray, and Co. of this town, and two of the three engines making by Mr. Bury, of Liverpool, will be on the line. Six of the common or second class carriages h ave already arrived, and the first class carriages are expected daily. We believe the directors do not intend to make any display on the opening ; but it will, nevertheless, excite great public curiosity. The Hull Musical Festival is likely to be nefit by it, as the railway is to be opened two days _before the Leeds Mercu r y. festival commences.— SAILING MATCH.-ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. Yesterday a match took place, in honour of her Majesty's birth-day, between the five following yachts. belonging to members of the Club, viz. ;—Alert, Victorine, Matchless, Ada Jane, and Figaro, for a splendid silver cup and cover, pre sented by the Club on this occasion. The Royal Sovereign steam-vessel teas engaged for the judges and a select party of ladies and gentlemen, and a most agreeable company they were. The Royal Sovereign left the Tower-stairs at half-past nine, and dropped down to Greenwich, where the yacht squadron was moored in a line across the river. The arrangements being completed, the signal -gun was fired, and they cast off at 20 mi nutes to 11 o'clock. The Matchless. being the windward vessel of the line (wind N.), took the lead, followed closely by the Figaro, Victorine, Alert, and Ada Jane. This order did not last very long, for on rounding Blackwall-point the Alert was a little a-head, followed closely by the Victorine, Matchless, Fi garo, and Ada Jane; but in Fiddler's-reach the Ada Jane, after a very hard struggle, crept to windward of the Figaro, and went a-head of the latter, which position she kept during the day. Between seven and eight minutes before two o'clock, the Alert put round the station-vessel, off Gravesend, Matchless two minutes to two o'clock, Ada Jane two minutes and a half past two, and Figaro about two lengths astern of the latter, gaining on her at the ' time ; but in shifting the jib of the Figaro, the halyards gave way, and she lost much way ere they could rig up new halyards. In the same relative positions the vessels proceeded up the river, the Alert leading on every tack, and at two minutes past five o'clock the latter went round the flag-staff off Greenwich, and of course was de clared the winning vessel. She was followed in 44- minutes by the Victorine, the Matchless at 10 minutes past live, the Ada Jane at 11 minutes•past five, and the Figaro in four minutes after. The Alert was brought alongside the Royal Sovereign, and the owner of the yacht, Mr. Ford, was presented with the cup by Commodore Harrison, with a very suitable address, and a reply from the winner, but though equally agreeable, neither could be called " a long yarn." The cup was after wards filled, with rosy wine, and passed along from the lips of the fair to those cf the masculine gender, and the scene was altogether one of a most agreeable character ; but, if there should happen to have been an unfortunate Malthusian on board, it must have made him quite miserable to see so much kindly feeling between those who are the grace and solace of society, and those who are the defenders of " England's home and beauty." The quadrilles were kept up with spirit until the Royal Sovereign arrived off the St. Katherine's Dock, when the company were landed, much pleased with the atten tion they received from the managers of the Club.

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Peterhead, dated the 11th of August. " SlR,—Since announcing the arrival of the Eclipse, of this port, from Greenland, the Union, Carden, and the Mary, Walker, of this port, have arrived, the former with two fish 17 tons, and the latter with three fish 27 tons. They report the Sarah and Elizabeth, of Hull, had proceeded for Davis's Straits. " The Eclipse, Sutter, in the course of flinching his fish, caught 500 sharks, preying upon the carcases, from the livers of which he will have from eight to ten tons of oil. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " WILLIAM GAMACK." " To W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's." HOLLANDERS, FRENCHMEN. AND ENG LISHMEN. No sooner has a Hollander become resident in a colony than he conforms himself, without hesitation or delay, to the genius and climate of the place : and, regarding it as his future home, he abandons all thoughts of returning to his native land, and employs his capital and resources in establishing himself, where he happens to be, and in collectinc , around him the conveniences and enjoyments of life. The Frenchman, with all his flexibility of character, ` requires a longer time than the Hollander to become re conciled to a foreign land ; but nevertheless, when settled there, he sooner or later, acquires strong local attachments, and generally at length naturalizes himself to the soil, and looks forward with complacency to spending his days there. But the Englishman, willing as he is to emigrate under the hope of improving his fortune, and long as he may re main abroad, never really becomes a colonist in the strictest sense of the word. He finds it nearly impossible to assi milate himself to any country except his own, and, to the last, allows his mind to be haunted with the desire of re turning there ; while lie at the same time denies himself various indulgences, in order that, by economy, he may limit the term of his expatriation. The foreign towns of the three nations in question are strongly illustrative of these remarks. The English settlements in almost every part of the world are built in a mean and unsubstantial style, and seldom comprise any ornamental features, how ever insignificant. They seem to be purposely kept in a condition that will allow of their being abandoned by their occupants with as little loss or regret as possible, on the successful invasion of a hostile power. And it has always been a principle with the British Government to spend no money on the improvement of her colonies, probably be cause she considers their tenure too. uncertain to warrant her doing anything of the kind ; and because her disregard of that object is likely to inspire their inhabitants with a similar one, and to prevent them from employing their sur plus capital in a way that would permanently withdraw it from the parent state It is not my intention to discuss the good or bad effects of this system, but merely to remark that the Dutch have always viewed the subject in a diffe rent light, and considered that it is a piece of sound policy to attach colonists to their place of abode, by surrounding them with useful and agreeable objects, and encouraging them to increase the number of these out ot their private resources. Hence the towns which they build in foreign places equal, in stability, grandeur, and convenience those which they have at home ; and their colonists feel a deep attachment to the land where they happen to reside, such as is unknown to the English under similar circumstances, and which the latter would regard as unnatural and unpa patriotic. Cape Town is perhaps the handsomest town in the world of its size ; and almost every building, either re spectable or ornamental which it contains, with the excep-• tion of the Commercial Exchange, was erected by the Ba tavian Government, or the Dutch inhabitants, previous to its being captured by the British. And though the colony has now been thirty-five years in our possession, an episco palian place of worship is only now in the course of erec tion ; and the members of the Established Church have hitherto been under the necessity of meeting in one of the Dutch churches, the use of which has been liberally granted them by its particular congregation.—Howisoils European Colonies. ''o THE MAN OF HONOUR.—Falstaff asks, " Wirat is honour ?" and the question is certainly not an easy one to answer. But we take it that honour, now-a-days, is a still more incongruous mixture than it was in the time of the jovial and witty knight ; and the public will be curious to see the delineation of it in the pages of the new novel entitled as above. This production comes unquestionably from the pen of a lady of high birth, who now makes her debut as an authoress • and her design is to show of what materials these " men about town" are made. The nobie writer has, we doubt not, selected some living specimen of the class for her especial castigation ; and we think it will not be long before our readers have as shrewd a suspicion as to the individual as ourselves. FIRES IN LONDON.—One cause of the frequency of fires in London is the imprudence of persons wishing to put up stoves in cutting into party walls, without any regard for what may be on the other side. In this manner the flues of stoves are often brought dangerously near wood work ; and , if from any incidental cause a fire is made of rather more than ordinary potency, the wood in the next house on the other side of the wall becomes ignited, and a fire ensues, for which at first there appears to be no assignable cause. There is a law which obliges all persons intending to make alterations in the party walls of houses in London, or to make exterior additions or alterations in them of any kind, to give notice to the district surveyor; but though it is generally attended to with respect to exterior alterations, it is generally neglected in the case of interior ones. In a case which came before the Lord Mayor about twelve months since, the party-wall of a house in Snow-hill had been cut into to such a degree for the purpose of setting a kichen stove, that a hole was actually made into the next house, and the party wall became so hot when the kitchen fire was lighted as not to be endured by the hand. The person who inhabited the house into which the hole was cut stated that the paint had become blistered with excessive heat. His Lordship said that often in setting up a kitchen range workmen cut into the back of the cupboards of the next house, and in a short time afterwards a fire broke out, for which no one could account.--Architectural Magazine, HOP INTELLIGENCE.
