LAW INTELLIGENCE.—June 20. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex.—Before Chief Justice Jervis and a Common Jury. -REGLNBAL V. MARMAYSEE.-TRAFFIC IN FRENCH GIRLS FOR IMMORAL PURPOSES. The plaintiff in this case, Margaret Reginbal, a French girl, formerly lived in a house of ill-fame, kept by the de fendant, Germain Marmaysee, and she sued to recover the value of some clothes detained by the defendant, and also about 701. for money due to her. The court was crowded during the hearing of the case, and one of the galleries were filled by French women, who seemed deeply interested in the matter, and who more than once audibly expressed their feelings. _ _ Mr. Serjeant Byles, and Mr. Massey Dawson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Serjeant Miller for the de fendant. . . Mr. Serjeant Byles, in opening the case, said that the plaintiff was a French girl, who formerly lived at Havre de-Grace, and she was something over twenty-one years of age, and the defendant, like the plaintiff, was a native of France. The name of the defendant was Marmaysee, but sometimes he was called Germain, and sometimes Le Bron. He was one of those persons in this country whom he might describe as importing young ladies from France who were to live in a house kept by him for a purpose which need not be further mentioned. He had a great number of French girls living there with him, whom he had collected in the course of his business, for the importing of these girls was as much a trade as the purchase of cattle in Holland was . the fact being that these poor girls, having lo st their_ only possession at an early age, were bought a nd sold in France and imported into this country .like any other commodity, and they were, under his when immured within the walls of the defendant, entirely and absolutely control • they were not even allowed to stir out_ without_ expect being attended by a person called a femme de confiance, a near relative of his, or by some other duenna. The you arrangement was this—the defendl; n a t c' s r a e i e d a ' bie ‘ I e ill e p p l y inl ou M rs t e s lf, ar a e nc to on b e e to exert yourself to make yourse , n get as ranch as you can ; one half of u o u f m th u e st c k o paid to you, out of which half you will give to me. The expenses of each girl were to be about 275. a week, but sometimes considerably more than this was charged. The defendant kept a carriage, and the ladies rode out in th© carriage, for their own benefit and for his, and each lady was charged Se. for every ride in the carriage, and this sum was set down in the expenses. Sometimes also the ladies teak baths, and for each bath he charged 2a. 6d., end 2d. for the towel ; and it was part of the practice that they were not to be allowed to keep any mone y themselves, but all their little savings were to be entrusted to him as their banker. Every morning, at breakfast, they had to state to him what they had earned ou the preceding day; but as the money had been paid to the femme de confianco, he took care to interrog a t e b o th her and the ladi es , an d so make one a check against the other; and he regretted to say that on every Sanday morn ing the establishment met, and then there was a regular statement by them of the sums they had received in the preceding week, and with the expenses with which those sums were chargeable in the meantime. The girls, how ever, were not entrusted with any money, nor to see any friend, and he would not allow them to receive any letter from any person in England, although they were allowed to receive letters from France. He was their banker, and they wore not allowed to go shopping, for he soli them the 'articles they wanted, and when there was any money coming to them he had some articles of finery to show them, and to induce them to buy. Most of these girls were very ignorant ; but it happened that his client could write, and she had kept, a regular book for herself, and she would be able to tell, them exactly what amount she had received during every week, and what has been charged her for ex penses, and that would leave a balance duo to her of about 70/., which sum she ought to recover by the verdict of the jury. Thu case would not depend upon her statement alone, but he should be able to prove from other witnesses circumstances which would leave no doubt that the defen dant was indebted to the plaintiff in the amount he had mentioned ; and, in addition to this, he should ask for their verdict for the value of certain articles of wearing apparel which had been detained from the plaintiff. Mr. Serjeant Miller sail he hoped he should have the sanction of his lordship in suggesting, in order to avoid going into the detail mentioned by his learned friend, that some porton should say in private what amount, if any thing, this plaintiff was entitled to. It would save a public discussion of these matters. The Chief Jtvtice—As far as I am concerned, I think that the time will not be in any respect thrown away—if the statement of my brother Byles be at all correct—which may be devoted to exposing such a dreadful state of things. Mr. Serjeant Miller said he had no object in interposing but the public benefit. Mr. Serjeant Byles continued—He should make this as nearly as he could a dry matter of account. He had said that under the money demand, ho believed he should be able to show what this young person, the plaintiff, had earned, and what portion of that amount ought to be de ducted. As he had told them, the plaintiff had bought of the defendant various articles of female apparel, such as petticoats, stocking., Stc„ and, in addition to those, there was one article, a riding habit, in reference to which there were several pleas. This young lady, having now left the establishment of this gentleman, was endeavouring to earn her living in, at all events, a Less disreputable manner, and was about making her appearance at one of the public riding schools of the metropolis, and she therefore wanted this riding habit, and she had been obliged to hire for her use another riding habit. He understood that the riding habit had. been sent to a party where she had lodged, that a squabble had ensued, that the attorney's clerk had at tempted to throw it into the house, and that by some means it had been lost ; and therefore they should not ask for the "thing itself, but only ask to recover the value of it. The following witnesses were then called : Edward Moons, a labonrer in the London Docks, proved that he had served on the defendant a notice to deliver these goods belonging to the plaintiff, and the defendant said he would not give them up. Witness told defendant he understood ho owed her 701., and that under those cir cumstances keeping her things was rather too bad. The defendant said he did not owe her so much ; he might owe her 301., but not 701. Cross-examined—He knew Mr. Levine, who was con ducting this case, but he had not appeared for him as a witness in any othei case than this. He did not appear on the prosecution of an indictment against Mr. Colbert. Margaret Reginbal was sworn and examined through Mr. G. Albert, the interpreter. She stated that she came from Havre de Grace, and was a native of Saffleur, in Normandy. She had been sent to England by M. le Conte. Ho was not the person who had seduced her, but he was one of his friends. She did not know what sort of a place she was coming to in England when she came to the defend ant's, bat thought he was a perfumer. It was on the 27th December last that she came to England. The defendant, who called himself Germain le Bron, told her some time afterwards that he had paid 81. for her to M. le Conte. She found out at last what sort of a house M. le Bron kept, but not knowing any one in London, and hav ing no other course open, she determined on remaining. He told her that one-half of the money was t o b e h ers an d one-half his, but from her half her e x p enses were t o b e paid. He did not say how much the expenses would be altogether, but he said the expenses for board and lodging would be about 30s. a week, and that she was to pay. She remained, there some time, and whilst there she was not allowed to go out unless accompanied by the femme de confiance, who was the sister-in-law of M. le Bron, and lived in the same house with him. Witness was not al lowed to receive letters from anybody in London, but she was allowed to receive letters from France. She had not been allowed to make any purchase from a shop, but the defendant sold her all she wanted, and never allowed her to buy anything out of doors. Sometimes the gentlemen paid money to witness, and sometimes to the femme de confiance, in witness's presence. When witness received money, she gave it to the femme de confiance, and every morning she wrote down what she had done the night before, and that book she now produced. Germain, the defendant, inquired of Hermandine, his sister, every morning what had been earned, and she told him, and gave him the money before witness. Every Sunday morning they made their accounts up for the whole week with Hermandine ; and then it was settled how much for the defendant, how much for the girls, and how mu It for expenses. Witness, while there, was called Blanche. She received various sums from gentlemen ; sometimes 11., sometimes 21., simetimes 3/. From the 27th December, when she arrived at the de fendant's, until the end of the month, she earned 71. The first week in the new year, from the Ist of January to 7th inclusive, she earned a s fellows—the first day 31., second day 31., third day 31., fourth day 4/. fifth day 41., sixth day 31, and the seventh day 31., making for the week 231. The defendant never explained the expenses, but said they were so much. The first week in the year the expenses were 41. 55., and the expenses were always kept back. The defendant had never given her any money at all, and, de ducting the expenses, he now owed her, according to her account, 701. She left him on the 3d or 4th of April, and asked for some money and her clothes before she left. He said he had none to give her. She asked for her riding habit and he said he had none to gave her. She wanted the riding habit, but he refused to let her have it, and she never had had it. She left him because one day she asked him for money, and ho would not give her any. Her linen was at a "male washerwoman's." She wanted money to buy several articles because some that he had sold her were too dear. She had been practising riding since she left Le Bron's house, She had learnt riding because she was tired of her mode of life and wanted to get rid of it.

He did not show said her the book, but he was looking at the book when he it. She did not look at it. He did not show her that she owed him a balance of 61. when she went away. He never spoke of it till she asked him for money. When she left she went to Madame Caroline's, and lived at her house. She was a lodging-house keeper, and let apartments. Witness knew that she let apartments to any one coming, but she did not know that they were let to women to re ceive men. Since she had been at Madame Caroline's, she had regularly walked Waterloo-place. Mr. Serjeant Miller —Who walked with you at Waterloo place ? The Chief Justice -_.I suppose you are now coming to the point ; that is, that the defendant La2t her there and paid her the money. (A laugh.)

Mr. Levine told her not to receive anything until this action was over. She first saw Mr. Levine at Mr. Cooper's, who she should think was an attorney. Mr. Serjeant Miller—Has not Mr. Levine lived with the woman whom you lived with? The Chief Justice—Of all the people within the four seas, why should M. Marmaysee throw dirt upon other people? You might as well ask whether the attorney or attorney's clerk lived with the woman, and put the same case with reference to the barrister and all the jury. (A laugh.) If it is necessary, t a ke your own course. Examination resumed She knew Madame La Roche, but had never told her that all she claimed was the riding habit, and that it was Mr. Levine who claimed the money. She knew Madame Colbert, and had seen her at the'Argyle rooms several times ; but had never told her that it was Mr. Levine who was claiming the money. Mr. Levine never told her that he had got a diam on d r i ng wor th 15 guineas from M. Marmaysee by threatening to indict him, nor that he could got her some money by threatening an action. Re-examined by Mr. Serjeant Byles—She did not know whether Mr. Levine was a married gentleman living in Keppel- street. He never slept at Madame Caroline's, to her knowledge. She had been seduced at Paris, her father and her mother having both died, and she having been left an orphan. When she left the defendant's she had no money ; and she could not tell the value of the things the defendant let her take away ' • but they consisted of the clothes she had on , an d several little things besides. All the houses of ill-fame at Marseilles, Lyons, &c., were under the surveillance of the police. At the defendant's house she saw the man who had seduced her, and that was not long after she went there. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Serjeant Miller said he thought his lordship and the jury would bo of opinion, after what had appeared in this case, that the defendant was not quite so bad as he had been represented. It had been said that his house was a place where young women were taken to be seduced, and that the defendant purchased young women for the purpose of pros titution ; but his lordship would see that as far as this wo man was concerned, the place was merely an asylum offered, and such an one as persons of her description would very often be happy to get. It having now been satisfactorily proved that the defendant was not a person carrying on the sort of practices—the very grievous practices—that his learned friend had referred to, he thought it desirable to withdraw the case from further consideration. The de fendant was prepar d with his books to show that there was a balance duo to him, from this wretch's account, of 61., and that he did not owe one farthing to this person ; but, sooner than have the case further discussed, he would consent to allow him to accept an offer made by his learned friend, and so withdraw the case from further discussion. There would therefore, by consent, be a verdict for the plaintiff for 301. The Chief Justice said he was not aware of anything proved in this case which supported what had just been stated ; but, on the contrary, he thought that the evidence entirely justified the statement of his brother Byles. He did not say the defendant kept a house where young women were seduced, but he said that he carried on the disgust ing practice of having young women in his house, and cheating them out of all they got, by keeping their money and not allowing them to purchase anything anywhere else but of him. It had been proved that these statesments were justified ; and if the case had gone on, and it had been found that the defendant kept a house of this kind, he should have ordered him to be indicted for keeping such a house, and to be kept in prison in the meantime. (This announcement of his lordship was followed by a burst of applause from the audience, which was however at once suppressed by the officers of the court.) A. verdict was then entered for the plaintiff for 301., and the case was brought to an end. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—Mr. Abraham, Sloman, the sheriff's officer for the county of Middlesex, attended before Mr. Jardine to answer a chard' of having committed a violent assault upon Mr. John G. Shoarman. Mr. James, counsel for the complainant, stated the case as one of a serious character, being an attempt at extortion, followed by personal violence. The complainant said that he was clerk to Messrs. Robin son and Tomlin, solicitors, of Conduit-street, Hanover square, and had occasion to call upon tho defendant on Friday, the 9th inst., with a judge's order. The firm had been concerned for one of the parties interested in the caso of " Eldertou v. Newton," and had made a claim upon goods seized under a fi. fa. at Newton's house, to which there was an i n t er pl ea d er on th e p ar t o f the sheriff. The claim was inquired into and found correct, and Mr. Justice Coleridge assented to an order to stay proceedings. All that the complainant had to pay under that order was the possession money, amounting to 71. 10s. 6d. Witness handed a copy of the order to Mr. Sloman, by direction of the under-sheriff, and applied fora discharge. The defen dant looked at it, asked witness into his room, in Chan cery-lane, and then said, " You had no business to get such an order as this behind my back." Witness replied, " What do yon mean ? I served the sheriff with a copy of the summons last night, and the order is made by assent, as you will see." A friend of Mr. Sloman came in at this moment, and took a seat in the room. The defendant said. " You - thieves, you like to do us, don't you?" Wit ness requested him to explain, but he only replied, " Never mind ; there is my fees to pay." Witness asked the amount of these, and he said his claim was 211. Os. Witness re quired a statement of his account, and defendant then made out one, charging ss. per day possession money, in stead of 3s. 6d, and entering other charges which witness told him he could not claim. Witness put the account into his pocket-book, and said he would call again, as de fendant had refused to do anything " until his fees were paid." Sloman said, " Then, I suppose you'll move the court to-morrow ?" Witness said that he should consult himself only as to that, and then roso to leave. Defendant rose also, seized him by the collar, and demanded back his account. Witness declared he Would not give it up, upon which Sloman put his fist in his (complainant's) face, and said, " Give me back the account, you young --, or I'll knock your -- head off." A scuffle then ensued, and S!oman succeeded in forcing him down by pushing him over a chair, and while on the ground he snatched wit ness ' s pocket-book , took out the private papers, selected his own account from them, tore it up, and then using other filthy language, ordered him to leave the house. The defendant had since received 71. 10s. Gd., as his claim, instead of the 211. The defendant, in the absence of his witness, reserved his defence. Mr. Jardine said the charge was too grave to be dis posed of summarily, and, consequently, sent it to the sessions. Daniel Morris, a Welshman, who called himself an ex cavator, was charged with stealing a round of boiled beef from the kitchen of the Northumberland Arms public house, Northumberland-street, Strand. From the statement of Mr. Thompson, the landlord, it appeared that the round of beef was undergoing the pro cess of boiling, in order to be in readiness for an early or dinary yesterday, when the prisoner contrived to get access to it unobserved ; and, taking it out of the large pot, wrapped it up in a sack and walked off. In a few minutes afterwards the landlord happened to go to the pot to see how the beef was going on, when he found that it had dis appeared. He immediately ran into the Strand and soon overtook the prisoner, who, owing to the heat of the joint, was compelled to drop it at short intervals, to change arms. The landlord, seeing the bulky and smoking mass in the prisoner's possession, concluded at once that it was his round of beef, and gave the man into custody. The prisoner, who said it was only a lark he was having, was remanded for further examination. GRE ENWlCH.—.Tantes Price, rivet maker, of 14,Charles street, Deptford, and George Lake, of 17, Charles-street, Deptford, nail maker, were charged with having committed a criminal assault on the person of Mary Raey, a married woman, aged 40, the wife of George Raey, fireman on the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway; and Thomas _Millen, of New-street, St. Paul, hammernian, Edward and James Jeffries, of No. 5, High-street, Deptford, wire workers, were charged with being concerned with Lake and Price, in committing the offence between 11 and 12 o'clock on Monday night, in a field near the Brighton Line of Railway, crossing the Lewisham-road, Deptford. Mary Raey, the prosecutrix, deposed that she .came from Brighton on Sunday night by the train. She slept in Greenwich on Monday night. Had previously been to the Post-office, London, for a letter, and came down during the evening to New-cross. It was a darkish night. She there met the prisoner Price and another man, and asked them to direct her to the station. It was in a bye-road, called Brockley-lane, on the way to Lewisham and Syden ham. They directed her, and she had not got far before Price, Lane, and Millen, overtook her. They told her her road lay across a field. She advanced a short distance and found that she had been deceived. She endeavoured to return and begged of them not to ill treat her. One of them took hold of her. It was dark, and she called " murder, and help, help !" A policeman came up after the assault. The constable soon took one of them into custody. She then went to the constable and told him what had occurred, saying that they had ill-treated her very much. Her bonnet was torn up. She went with the constable and the prisoner, Price, to the police-station. She had since seen the three prisoners together at the sta tion. Price, Lake, and Millen were the men who overtook her. The Jeffries came up into the field afterwards and picked up her bonnet and shawl. They did not assault her. One of the five prisoners said " Kill the They all ran when the constable came up. It was about 11 o'clock. She had 13s. 6d. and some tickets in her pocket, which she lost during the time she was in the field. The prisoners here said the prosecutrix was drunk, and. they had been drinking with her. Lane said he had drunk ale with her at the Royal Albert. Edward Jeffries said that he had picked up a shawl; Price and Millen were there at that time. r- Police-constable, 312 R, said that he was on duty at half-past eleven o'clock that night (Monday) in Brockley lane. He heard a female call loudly, " Don't kill me !" He went to a field where there was a gap in a hedge large enough for a cart to enter. At the gap he met Price, who said he had been doing nothing. He turned his lamp, and saw Millen lying by the side of the female, and went to wards them. The woman was crying, and hir dress was very much disordered. He asked her if she knew either of the men, and she said " No." On taking hold of Millen, Price seized both witness's hands, and held him whilst Millen ran away. He secured Price, and took him to the station-house. The prosecutrix followed, crying. Thought. she had been drinking a little. Police-sergeant 317 R said he was on duty a t th e sta tion when th e prisonerwas brought in. The prosecutrix said Lake and Millen were the two men.

DISASTROUS BOILER EXPLOSION. On Friday morning, about three o'clock, the inhabi tants of Smethwick, near Birmingham, were startled from their sleep by a tremendous explosion, which shook many of the houses as if by an earthquake, and was heard a mile or two off. Many persons rushed into the streets, and the intelligence spread with wonderful ra pidity that one of the boilers at Messrs. Beasley and Farmer's District Ironworks had exploded with most disastrous effect, it is to be feared, to life, and most cer tainly to property. The cause of this devastation appears to be somewhat involved in mystery. The ponderous ma chinery with which the works are studded, in the shape of rolling-mills, lathes, grinding-shops,. &c., was driven by an engine of 65-horse power. Steam was supplied from two boilers, situated in the very centre of the pre mises, and surrounded on all sides by forges, workshops, and mills. These were attended by William Dunn, the assistant-engineer, during the night ; and, part of the machinery having got out of order, he stopped the en gine for the purpose of putting it in repair. He had returned from doing so, and had just again put the en gine in motion, when one of the boilers exploded with such force as to place the lives of very many of the workmen in danger. Streams of scalding water were dashed off to incredible distances, thousands of bricks were sent whirling off 300 or 400 yards, striking houses, where they have left marks as if they had been battered by artillery ; roofs were torn off, the tall chimney-stack shaken, so that some 14 or 16 feet toppled down from the top on the premises below, and felling walls and the shrieks of scalded men and boys made up a scene which an eye-witness described as the most terrible he had ever seen. When the steam and clouds of dust had cleared away, some idea of the extent of the damage was ascertained. Two men and four boys who had been engaged on the bank near the boiler were found lying in a frightful state. They were terribly scalded and otherwise injured. In other parts of the works men were struck down by the showers of flying bricks, others by the falling of the walls and roofs, others again still less seriously hurt by being knocked down by the force of the concussion. One of the boiler pipes, which had been blown in an oblique direction, com pletely demolished a brick lathe-room in its course, and finally struck an iron boat on the adjoining canal, which it sank. One part of the boiler, weighing several cwt., was found in a field about 100 yards off, where it fell without doing any damage. The boiler itself, however, was the cause of great mischief. It seems to have risen from its brisk bed some 10 or 15 feet, and been propelled to the opposite side of the yard. In its course it first demolished a forge—walls, roof, and everything ; then entered a rolling-mill, the wall and roof of which it cu through as if it had been paper, shattering everythingt in its way, and at last came to the ground above some rolls. Some idea may be formed of the immense force of the explosion when we state that this part of the boiler, which was originally 251 t. long. and 10ft. in dia meter•, inu,t weigh between five and six tons. Great aa the damage was on this side, on the other it was scarcely less. A gun-Wan-el and spectacle-grinding shop was shattered, a puddling furnace completely uprooted and overturned, and a rolling-mill considerably damaged. It is impossible 'to convey an idea of the wreck. On a rough calculation, the injury sustained will amount to at least 2,0001. Unfortunately, however, there is every reason to apprehend that the casualty will be attended by fatal results. It was found that Enoch Powell, about 40 years of age, Philip Robinson, 19, Charles Grainger, 18, Thomas Moore, 15, William Brown, 13, and %Va. liam Kelly, 12—ail of them, with the exception of Brown, who resides at West Bromwich, belonging to Smethwick —were scalded in the most shocking manner. They were immediately attended to; and conveyed to the General Hospital, Birmingham, where they now lie. On inquiry at the institution, about 7 o'clock on Friday night, we learnt that a!l of them were in a very pre carious condition. Faint hopes, indeed, were entertained of the recovery of any of the unfortunate persons, with the exception of Brown, who it was thought was likely to survive. Several other of the workmen were more or less injured, but none to a very serious extent. One man, named Thomas Glyn, employed in the rolling ' mill at some distance off, . received a severe wound on the head, inflicted by some of the falling material, and is now going on favourably under the care of Mr. Hicks. The only wonder is, that the occurrence was not fatal to many. There were about 150 persons em ployed iri the establishment at the time, but the greater part had left about an hour before the explosion took place. With respect to the cause of the explosion, there are, of course, several theories afloat. Some consider it arose from a deficiency of water in the boiler, and others from j,he pressure of steam. This, however, will, no doubt, form the subject of inquiry ; but we may mention that it was a tubular boiler, which had been in work for about 11 years, although it had been examined so recently as Whitsun week, when it was found to be quite safe.

A woman named Cecilia Knott has been apprehended at Manchester on the charge of attempting to poison the family of Mr. H. J. Warrington, surgeon-dentist, of 232, Oxford-street, in that city. Mr. Warrington and his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. M'Donald, reside in the house named, Mr. M'Donald following the business of an'architeet, and Knott lived with them as domestic servant. On Monday she was taken before Mr. Maude, at the Manchester City Police Court, for examination on the very serious charge named against her. The evidence went to show that Mr. Warrington had not been satisfied with the conduct of the prisoner, and had often found fault with her in consequence. ' General inattention to orders, and the exhibition of a strong self-will in respect to the performance of all her duties, were the principal causes of his dissatisfaction with her, and in particular be had spoken sharply about the late hour at which she persisted in washing the front door step, when, in fact, the business of the day had commenced. This greatly irritated her, and to Mrs. Stewart, a nurse in attendance upon Mrs. M'Donald, she several times complained of the treatment she re ceived from the family. On one occasion she said, " I never saw such a d— crew in all my life;" and on another occasion, after some fault had been found with her, she exclaimed, "By G— I'll do their job for them." Last Wednesday, Mr. M'Donald dined about half-past one, and between three and four o'clock, he was attacked by a serious affection of the stomach, which caused him to vomit very much, and harassed him all' night, and he got worse next day, but was afterwards relieved by some me dicine administered to him by his father-in-law. He felt an increase of his illness after each meal that he had that day. On Thursday night Mr. Warrington and Mr. and Mrs. M'Donald all took coffee together, and the meal was scarcely finished before Mrs. M'Donald exhibited the most alarming symptoms. She was so completely paralysed by sickness that she was unable to get up stairs and when in her bedroom could not undress herself or get into bed without considerable assistance. Next morning the sickness increased, and, continuing through. out the day, it was thought advisable to send for medi cal aid. Mr. J. W. Wainwright, surgeon, of Bur lington-street, therefore, was called in, and at once declared that she was labouring under the effects of poison, and in a very dangerous state; is fact, she had then sank so much that she was in a state of collapse. While Mr. Wainwright was attending Mrs. M'Donald, Mr. Warrington was seized with the same sickness and vomiting which his sister and brother-in-law had experi enced, but timely remedies were applied, and he did not suffer so acutely, nor for so long a time. Mr. Wain wright deposed that when he was called to attend Mrs. M'llonald he found her extremely prostrated from the effects of vomiting and retching, and on examining the tongue he saw all the marks of poison ; the mucous membrane was excessively irritable, and the skin of the body generally was cold and clammy. He had never met with a case which more clearly showed that the patient had. taken irritant poison, and he treated Mrs. M`Donald accordingly, with gratifying success, though she was still in a s t a t e o f great d e bili ty, and had evi dently been in great danger of losing her life. Mr. Warrington was subsequently attacked, and presented the same symptom of having taken poison ; but in his case the remedies were applied at an. earlier stage, and he did not fall into a state of collapse. Superintendent Taylor, of the D division, who brought up the case, applied for a remand, to allow time foe a chemical ana lysis of the matter voided by the poisoned persons, and the woman was remanded to Thursday. Mr. Maude, before remanding the woman, asked her if she had any thing to say respecting the charge ; but finding from the first words she said that it was likely she was about to admit the charge and defend her conduct, he stopped her, and advised her not to say anything then. There was no evidence whatever to show what the poison was, or whether the woman had administered it. There was, in short, nothing against her but the threats she had been heard to utter after the quarrels with the various members of the family. MUTINY ON BOARD AN AMERICAN EMIGRANT SHIP.— A mutiny broke out yesterday morning among the sea men on board the Fidelia, American emigrant vessel, be longing to Messrs. Baring Brothers, of Liverpool, and lying in the Mersey, intending to sail for New York. We, have not received full details of the occurrence, but we learn that the captain (Dixon) shot one or two men, and that (luring the struggle which took place a number of the sailors were seriously bruised. 13 of the muti neers have been brought ashore in custody, and will be placed before the magistrates this morning. It seems that the emigration officer was clearing the ship, when the mate ordered the hands forward. They refused to obey, ho seized one man by the arm, when the fellow drew his knife from the sheath, and made several attempts to stab the mate, who ultimately received a wound on the arm. The other men then joined in the attack, and the result might have proved serious to the mate, when the captain sprang forward and discharged two pistols among the mutineers, both shots taking effect. One man (Nylar) was shot through the back of the neck, and is said to be in a dan gerous condition. The other man was only slightly wounded. PARACHUTE DESCENT.-14. Latour, whose proj ec t e d ascent, suspended from the car of a balloon, and descent in a parachute in short, time back, became a failure at Vauxhall, and terminated in a ludicrous, but fortunately not fatal manner, ascended yesterday with his apparatus attached to a balloon from Cremorne-gardens, and, after being wafted through the air at a consider. able height from the earth, descended by the aid of his parachute in safety, in a field opposite the Sun in-the-Sands, Shooters'-hid, about half-past 7 o'clock in the evening. The parachute, as far as 3 judgment could be made by those who were not immediately on the spot 011 Which the descent took_ place appeared to descend s teadily and with com p ara ti ve slowness, and with less oscillation than has attended some former attempts.
