This costly work also contains complete estimates for furnishing on the following revised tale A Six-roamed Parsonage An Eight-roomed ditto A Ten-roomed ditto A Twelve-roomed ditto 391 11 0 Yesterday the Boird of Trade (Marine Dspart most) rec&ved from the Receiver of Wrecks at Holyhead the result of the investigation he had made relative to th e acc id ent wh i c h b e f e l th e Lein ster Lass steamer, on Th urs d ay l est, in crossing the channel from Drogh e d a t o Li verpoo l. Captai n E. Toker, commander of th e L e i nster L as s, stated on oath that the steamer was an iron-built schooner, 308 tons register, belonging to the Drogheda Steam ship Company. She left Drogheda at 845 p.m. of the 4th inst., with 130 passengers and a cargo of cattle and general goods. On the following morn ing at 2 a.m., the tide at the time being about four hours ebb, weather fine, the wind in the south, blowing light airs, the ship being about 10 miles N.W. by N. of Skerries Island, he heard loud re ports below, as if something had broken in the engine room, and at once called out to stop the engines, but he could not obtain any reply. In a minutes or two afterwards the second engineer came on deck and reported that in consequence of the engine-room being filled with steam the engines could not be got at or stopped, the firemen and en gineers having come upon deck, leaving the engines still working. In about five minutes he noticed water coming into the engine -room through the ship's bottom, and then took the weights off the safety valves and opened the furnace doors to try to reduce the pressure of the steam. The engines kept moving fer about ten minutes, when the water had risen so high in the engine -room that it put the furnaces out and the engines then stopped, the water was still rising in the engine room, which formed a compartment of itself, and became quite filled in about 20 minutes. He at once proceeded to lower the ship's boats to save the passengers and crew in the event of the bulkheads giving way, and succeeded in launching two lifeboats safely; but in consequence of the pas sengers all crowding lo the quarter boats they were unevenly lowered, and both filled, being full of pas sengers. As the boats, however, were still fest to the tackles, he succeeded in getting the passengers in them on board again. He then showed signals of distress, and at about 2 45 a.m. the screw steam ship Torch, of Dublin, came alongside, and, after taking all the passengers on board, towed the vessel into Holyhead harbour, the water not having broken through the bulkheads, but keeping in the one compartment. It was reported to him that two or three lives were lost, but he is unable to state this, as hs did not see any one go down. The chief engineer, James M‘Gough, stated in his official de position to the Board of Trade that at 2 a.m. of the sth of May, being on duty in the engine room, he was passing from the fore part of the engines to look at the boilers, when be heard a shock and saw that a portion of the guard round the engines had been carried away and was moving about across the passage. Ha called out to one of the stokers who was near the safety-valves to ease the valves, but he was unable to do so in consequence of being struck by the handrail, The shock continuing, and the steam filing the engine -room, he had to pro cesd on deck for the safety of the lives of himself and others in the engine-room. As soon as he got on deck, he took the weights off the san.ty-valves. In his opinion, one of the crossheads of the star board engiae gave way or broke, and caused the side levers to break at the centre, driving the broken parts through the bottom of the vessel. fogether with a Price List of purified Bedding, and a mass of valuable informationto all requiring househ urniture, ;nrpetx or bedding.

Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester, coroner for Central Middlesex, assisted by Dr. Hardwicke, the deputy-coroner, held an inquest at the Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum, Colney-hatch, on the body of John Vine Phillips, aged 52, late confidential clerk and cashier to Messrs. Rogerson and Ford, solicitors, of Lincoln's-inn-fields, an inmate, who was killed by another inmate named Daniel Hobbs, under the following very paiufnl circumstances : Mr. Ford, of the firm to which the deceased was attached, attended to watch the proceedings on the part of the friends of the deceased. Francis E wens, attendant in No. 5 Ward in the asylum, deposed that deceased was under his care in that ward. He was very restless end irritable, and did not sleep at night. His general habit was very destructive. On Thurs day last, above minutes to one p.m., was in No. 5 Ward, en duty in the " Spur," and saw Hobbs, another patient, come out of the water closet with a piece of gas piping in his hand. Deceased went up to Hobbs to take it away from hint. He laid hold of the gas pipe, and Hobbs forced the gas pipe away from Phillips and struck him a blow on the side of the head. Phillip immediately stagg, - ,red mains the wall and foil down. He seemed very queer from the blow, but was not insensible. lie walked him away and got him to bed. He died about six o'clock, in witness's presence. By the Jury—The doctor saw 'him about half an hour after he was placed in the bed. The doctor was resident in the asylum. The pipe produced is the piece of gas pipe with which Hobbs inflicted the blow. It was in the water closet, and c.-as not properly fastened.

He had been there about ure and youthful appearance, with dark hair and ively intelligent eyes. H e wore a white cravat, and was otherwise carefully dreesed. On being asked the usual preliminary questions, he declared his name to be Desire Edmond Conty de la Pomme rais, and said he was 31 ye ars o ld, born at Neuville aux Bois, departm ent of the Lo i re t, an d was b y profession a doctor of medi c i ne . His domicile in Paris at the time of his arrest was Rue des Saints Peres, No. 6, The indictment was then read. That part of it which accuses him of the murder of Ma dame Pauw by po i soning , appeared some days since. The Madame of the i n di c tment, accusing the prisoner of having also poisoned his mother-in-law, Aadm sec e oll n d ubizy, was in the following terms : " The crime of whi c h t h e w id ow Pauw was the v ictim was not the fi rs t comm i tte d by La Pomme rais. Two years before he despatched his mother in-law, Madame Dubizy, by similar means. It was in August, 1861, that he m arr i e d, a nd his marriage was not accomplished with ou t cons id era bL' difficulty. Madame Dubizy Was dist rust f u l o f h er future Bon in-law, whose representatio ns a bout his fortune appeared to her suspicious ; and it turned out, in point of fact, that the greater part of his pretended re° payable to bearer, which tie had borrowe d from a person named Pelordy de p Neuville.ropery picion of Madame Dubizy, she did not succeed in shaking the confidence of her daughter; but she insisted that the marriage contract should be made upon the footing of a separation of goods. La Pommerais was constrained to submit to this condition, and he consequently found himself unable to dispose of his wife's fortune which Madame Dubizy sedulously took care of. His mother-in-law's death Was necessary to relieve him of an inconvenient surveillance, and to put him in Possession of the remaining g fortune of Madame Dubizy. Scarcely two months had elapsed a f ter hi s marr i a ge when vvu find him, on October 4, buying 50 centigrammes of digitalis at M. Menier's drug-shop. Almost immediately afterwards Madame Dubizy, whose health theretofore had been excel lent, was suddenly taken ill While at dinner, and was seized with violent vomiting. Drs, Leboucher and Loiseau were succeesively called in. They prescribed various remedies, but their prescriptions were not followed. m e Leboucher paid her only a single visit, and Dr. Loiseau, as h e a d m it s hi mself, only went " to cover La Pommerais.'' It was La Pommerais who superintended her treatment. He says, in order to explain the vomiting, that his raether.in_lay, bad en a ttack of cholera (an allegation which Dr. Loiseau denies), and et the same time he procured for her, from Lebainville's pharmacy, medi caments which could only have been wanted for such malady. 10 centigrammes of digitalis and 25 centi grammes of hydrechlorate of morphine were sup plied in the night of the 10th of October by order of La Pommerais, and the following day Madame Dubizy breathed her last. The prisoner lost no time in obtaining possession of her personal pro. perty, which was wor th between 40,000 fr. and 50,000 fr. He refused to have an inventory and disposed as he pleased of the securities of which the fortune consisted, and most of which have now disappeared. He thus attained his object, and for a longtime battered himself that his crime would never be known.

As soon as I saw Hobbs come out of the closet with the gaspipe in his hand I made towards him, but the blow was struck betore I could reach them. Never reported Hobbs to the medical officer for violence. Patients are net restricted as to going to the closets, and unless they are troublesome we have no instruc tions to notice the time they are there. When this event occurred I reported it to Usher, the chargeman of the ward, and he entered it in a book. I am on duty from 6 in the morning till Sat night.

James Usher said he was principal attendant in No. 5 Ward, and knew deceased, who was much excited on Thurs day last. He was quiet when he first came in, but gradually became worse. The night attendant said he slept very little. Hobbs was a destructive, but not what we consider a very violent patient. He had occasionally struck at the other patients. Was called to the deceased after Hobbs had given him the blow, but did not see it. Deceased was not insen sible till atter 6 o'clock, Witness informed Mr Fleming, head assistant, of what had happened, and he informed the doctor. Made an entry of the occurrence in the day-book.

When I first saw deceased after the occurrence Owens had got hold of him, and . another attendant had hold of liobbs. Did not make the entn: es in the book till the evening. The book was produced, and the entry wa..'—" John Vine Phillips, slight cut on left side of the head ; do1:0 by Daniel Hobbs." There was another entry in the colum2 headed "Patients' Seclusion"—" Daniel Hobbs, four hours. John Vine Phillips, four hours. Very excited, and fighting." Evidence continued—This last entry refers to the placing of the deceased and Daniel Hobbs for four hours each in padded rooms, Did not know that Philipps was dead when ho made these entries. Deceased was in the padded room at 8 o'clock, and died there. He was not dead when wit ness left at 8 o'clock. They were not put there as a punish ment. There was no punishment in the asylum. Gee, Flemming said he was head attendant of No. 1,4, and 5 wards. First heard of the attack on deceased by Hobbs from Usher at half-past one on Thursday, and he showed him the piece of gas pipe with which he had struck Phillips on the side of the head. Went and saw Phillips, and was under the impression that the injury was not a dangerous one, as the patient was not more excited than usual. Did not think it of sufficient importance to send for the medical man. Saw Phillips two or three times during the afternoon, and did not observe any change in him till about five o'clock. Thinking he was worse, he sent for the surgeon. Did not know be had died till the following morning. An entry which witness had also made was read, in which it was stated that Hobbs had been placed in seclusion for striking deceased with the gaspipe, and afterwards smashing two panes of glass and destroying a strong rug. Dr. Edgar Sheppard said he was medical superintendent of the male department of the asylum. All officers were under his control. He had the power of suspending them for misconduct. Did not consider the conduct of any of the attendants was reprehensible in reference to the death of deceased. Was called to see deceased about five o'clock on Thursday. He was then comatose and had a rapid pulse, and had a slight wound behind the left ear, He died at a quarter to eleven the same night. Had since made a post mortem examination. There was a comminuted fracture of the skull, and a large effusion of blood on the left side of the brain, quite sufficient to cause death. The cause of death was effusion of blood on the brain from the fracture. By the Coroner—Hobbs was admitted under somewhat similar dreumstances as Phillips, on the 21st of April. He was more violent than Phillips. The medical certificate under which he was sent to the asylum stated that he was exceedingly violent and dangerous to others. Hobbs was 56 years of age. I did not apprehend any aggressive personal violence from either Hobbs or Phillips. They were both what are termed paralytic patients.

The examination made two years after the death failed to give the same results which it would have done if made im mediately —the lapse of time prevents the medical men stating with certainty the cause of death. But Dr. Tardieu reports that the principal organs were in such a stale of preservation as renders it difficult to suppose that death could have resulted from natural causes. It is, moreover, to be observed that this disease so rapidly superveuing upon pt r feet health—a disease which was neither cholera, nor apoplexy, nor aneurism—is a most surprising thing, and that the doses of morphine and digi talis exhibited by order of the prisoner, were truly excessive. Thus, in the case of Madame Dubizy, as in that of Madame Pauw, the post-mortem examination led to the dis covery of no trace of lesion in the organs which could have caused death; at the same time the inquiry shows that in both cases there was ;to other symptom of illness than of vomiting coming on sud denly and unaccountably in the midst of perfect health. In both cases La Pommerais was present a few minutes before vomiting took place; and in both cases it is proved that a short time previous he had purchased a considerable quantity of digitalis, which has disappeared without his being able to ex plain what came of it. Everything shows that Ma dame Dubizy met the same kind of death as Ma dame Pauw, and that the prisoner made both of them the victims of his cupidity.." The judge then proceeded to:his examination, and, addressing the prisoner, told him that as the interrogatory would be long, he might sit down whenever he pleased. "Your family," he said, "lives at Neuville-aux-Bois, and is very much respected. We can understand the grief they must feel at the situation in which you are placed. Your father is a physician ; you have an uncle who lives at Orleans, and is a chemist. [The prisoner —I beg your pardon, Mr. President, my uncle is a merchant.] One of your sisters is married to a chemist in Paris; you were received as a doctor of medicine in Paris in 1854'; you took to homeeo• pathy, and from that time you manifested the inten tion to get yourself talked about, and showed an ardent desire to make a fortune. In 1853 you ass sumed the title of count, which you had no right to, and which was never borne by your fathers. [The prisoner—l have a right to the title. I left off using it to please my father, whose modest way of life is not suited to it. But M. Hauterive's book shows that the title belongs to my family.] The examination was proceeding down to a late hour. terms :-- PRICE ...... ...4d. STAMPED ....sd. as to the violence of patients turn out to be very inaccurate, and I form my own judgment from careful examination. I subjected Hobbs to that careflil examination. I did not consider him a fit patient to be put in the ward for danger ous lunatics. The medical statement as to the deceased was that he was harmless and not dangerous to others. The witness Ewens was recalled and said ho had made a mistake in saying Phillips died in his presence at 6 o'clock. It was 10 45. Mr. Ford called attention to the extraordinary disrepa.ney between the two medical certificates under which Hobbs and deceased were sent to the asylum ; the totmer showed de ceased's assailant as a raving, dangerous madman, whilst deceased was a poor harmless imbecile, and yet they were placed in the same ward together. He wished to cross examine Dr. Sheppard on this point, and demanded his book to be produced in which ho entered the result of his exami nation of both patients. The Coroner said there was no doubt this inquiry was a most important one to the public, as well as the character of the institution, and therefore the inquiry had better be adjourned. The jury having acquiesced, the investigation, which excited deep interest, and was attended by a number of the visiting justices, was adjourned for a week. THE PRUSSIANS IN JUTLAND. COPENHAGEN, May 7. A communication from the neighbourhood of Vella to the Berlingske Tidente states that the Prussians have already began to take compulsory steps enforcing payment of the contributions they have demanded. Under the superintendence of a civil commissioner an organised plunder of the shops has been effected in Horsens ; the goods are carried south, probably to be sold in Germany. A similar fate awaits the other Jutland towns; Veile was to follow Horsens. It was expected that in the rural districts the stock and cattle of the peasants would be confiscated by the invaders, The muni cipal Council in Veile had next to discuss whether the district should pay the sums required. During the sitting the Prussians planted cannon before the Town-hall and occupied the staircases with soldiers, in order to intimidate the Council. The measure failed in its effect, for the Council positively refused to comply with the denland. Wherever the Prussians appear in Jutland the same course is repeated. A contribution, enormous in comparison with the resources of the town, is demanded to be paid within 48 hours, and is every where unanimously refused by the citizens. Here upon the public treasuries are plundered—i.e., wherever anything is to be found. Thus, for ex ample 80 rigsdalers were discovered at the Aarhuus Bank, and 40 in the town coffers. The Prussians then proceed to carry off the most respected citi- asps and officials as hostages, usually ten from every town, who are temporarily conveyed to Rendsburg. When these measures are found ineffectual plunder is resorted to, as has already been the case in Horsens. A remarkable proof of the feeling prevailing in this hardly-tried province is afforded by the fact that not a single town has expressed a wish that the Government should allow itself to be in duced to yield by consideration for the sufferings of the jutlanders. The municipal council of Viborg has refused to urnish the required contribution in the following " A communication from the Amtmann of the district, dated yesterday, informs us that Major-General E. von Bornhorst has required of the town of Viborg a war contributicn of 50,000 Prussian dollars as compensation for the captured Prussian ships, and failing payment has threatened compulsory measures. The municipal council thinks it right to state that, while we believed it most conducive to the interests of the town to furnish to the u•m-)st of our power the supplies required for the Euthistence of the Prussian troops, it would not accord with our lawß, and, following the orders re ceived upon the subject from our Government, wauld violate the duty wo owe to king and country if we took any steps to furnish the required amount. While we beg, therefore, to convey this determina tion to the Amtraann, we consider it necessary to add that, even were we ever so willing, th© pay ment of the sum demanded would be completely im possible." ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, The eleventh meeting of the present session o: this society was held at Burlington-house, en Mon day evening, the 9th inst.: Sir R, J. Murchison, K.C.8., president, in the chair. The paper read was on " A Newly discovered Low Pass over the Andes in Chili, south of Valdi via," by Don Guillermo Cox, translated and com municated by Sir Woodbine Parish. Sir WOODBINE Palma, who was present and read the paper, said that Senor Cox was the son of an English physician of Valparaiso, and had under taken his recent remarkable journey with a view to discover an easy route between the new Chilien settlements on the Pacific coast in 40 deg. and 41 deg. S. lat. and the river Negro, which 80 years ago had been proved by Villarino, a Spanish exs plorer, to be navigable from the eastern side of the Andes to the Atlantic. He equipped an expedition at his own cost at Port Montt, a new German settlement containing 15,000 inhabitants, near the island of Chiloe, and proceeded in December, 1862, by way of the two lakes, Llanquilhue and Todos os-Santos, towards the almost inland sea of Na guelhnapi. He traversed the lakes by means of gutta percha boats, three of which were carried by tde party, and succeeded in discovering a pass over the Cordillera, at an altitude of not more than 2,800 ft. Arrived at the end of the Lake Naguel huapi (Lake of Tigers), which lies on the eastern side of the chain of the Andes, Senor Cox's party were rejoiced to find a stream issuing from it in the direction of the rivers which flow into the Atlantic: Nine of the 16 persons who formed the expedition here returned to Port Montt ; the rest embarked in one of the boats and descended the river, which is called the Limay, and forms one of the effluents of the Rio Negro. The voyage was from the first attended with great risks, owing to the numerous rapids, and the various adventures encountered were narrated in a lively manner by the author. At length, when within five miles of the point to which Villarino had attained in ascend ing the Rio Negro from the Atlantic, the boat was upset, and the party escaped drowning only to fall into the hands of a savage tribe of Pampas Indians, encamped near the spot. Senor Cox appeased the anger of the Cacique, who wished to put him to death for having visited his territory without per mission, by playing a tone on a flageolet he had fortunately saved from the wreck. The Cacique at length promised to assist him in reaching the Rio Negro, on condition that he first went to Valdivia for presents. The recrossing of the Cordillera at a more northerly point towards Valdivia was accom plished without much difficulty, but the main object of Senor Cox's journey—namely, the opening of an easy passage across the continent—has been up to the present time frustrated by the hostility of the Indian tribes. the Pre. Aamiral FITZROY, on being invited by sident to express his opinion on the been called pa pee, said that had the region to which their attention w e l l suited with respect both to soil and climate, suited to the constitution, hab its, an d pursuits of e n r l Englishmen. The western s id e ofthe s ot:id y t n parts of Sauth America em braced some of the finest regions in the world , in proof to point totho fact that the new of which he h Germa n co l ony of Port Montt, in a region which, when he surveyed the coast, was peo pled only by sca n ty h or d es of savages, had in ten years become a town of 15,000 inhabitants. A little further to the north there was a place where we now heard of 20 or 30 ships at a time loading coal; while at the time of his visit nothing but a few fragments of coal were seen lying about, which no one thought worth picking up. The range of the Andes is rich in minerals, and the whole of the country to the west is well-timbered ; indeed, the country is already becoming the abode /t- 1 ~~ V. :~ r~; •;~~ -~~'.l of civilised men, for a number of new settAii . fie Jl had lately sprung into existence along the 141. coastand in the Straits of Magellan,as well as o f7-24 - t, western side.

A second paper was read on the" Upper Provinces of the Argentine Republic," by T. J. Hutchinson, her Majesty's consul at Rosario. The great railway through the Argentine provinces, projected by Mr. Wheelright, having been very favourably reported on in thi s paper, the President ca ll e d npun M r . Wileelright, w h o was present, to say what influence the disco7ery o f new passes would have on his scheme, for carrying a line of railway over the Andre. Mr. WIIEELIIIGIIT described the route laid down for his ra lvover one o f th e nort h er l y parses of Chili at an a itude 16,500 feet, and s t a t e d t h a t a ia l y t much lower pass had been dit7cDverec3 fur her south ; but that it was a question which would be the more practicable for a line of railway, as the lower pass, being further to the south, might not he co free from snow as the higher, but more northerly pass. The southern pass, however, would be in a ranch more direct line with the populated part of the Argentine provinces. The PRESIDENT, before adjourving the meeting, called attention to a series of paintings of the Zam besi Falls, the production cf Mr. Thomas Baines, who had spent a long time in the heart of Africa sketch ing the wonderful scenery of this fine cataract, He also announced that the anniversary meeting and dinner of the society would take place on Monday, the 23d of May. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The Royal Sovereign turret-ship has at length been fairly under steam, having been taken out of Ports mouth harbour yesterday for a preliminary trial of her machinery. The ship left the harbour at nocn, in charge of the Commander of the Steam Reserve, and with the officials of the steam factory and reserve on board, and also a number of naval officers, including among the latter Admirals Sir M. Seymour, G.C.8., and G. Elliot. A wonderful change has bean effected in her appearance by her conversion from a. three-decked steamship to her present form. Like all vessels of the Monitor type, the ship will, perhaps, never be considered graceful. She is fitted with three distinct sets of steering apparatus —one on the upper deck, one in the pilot-house for ward, and one in the captain's cabin below, and the opportunity was taken of testing their powers on the ship's rudder, under steam, on the vessel reach.- ing Spithead. They all three appeared to answer perfectly, and to have ample command over the rudder in all positions. The ship herself answered her helm as readily as a small wherry, and turned round a circle of small diameter in an unusually short time. It was, as we have said, merely a pre liminary trial of the working of the engines and boilers, and it was not intended to run the ship over the measured mile. In going down Stokes Bay, however, the time was taken of one run past the marks, and the ship was found to be going exactly 12 knots. Had she been prepared for the mile in he usual manner there can be no doubt she would have made 13 knots. Her draught of water was 20ft. ilin. forward, and 24ft. Bin. aft. She has her guns, shot, and coals on board, and the number of visitors present exceeded the muster of her crew on commission ; consequently all the additional weights she has to receive are her stores and provisions, &0., probably some 200 tons. On her light draught trial in Stokes Bay on the 12th of May, 1858, when a three-decker, she realised a mean speed of 12.252 knots, the draught of water being 18ft. Bin. forwards and 21ft, 9in. aft. The trying of the ship's steering power and the run through Stokes Bay yesterday were all very satisfactory, hut some alarm was created on board irnaLdiately aftcrw , ,r3s by the dis covery of a serious emident below. An cscapa of steam had taken place, and an examinatim dis closed the feet that the stop valve box and its ccm munication with the steam pipe Lid been torn off the after boilers. The necessary measures were at once taken, and the mischief happily er,docl there. The boilers of the ship stand in the usual position, face to face with the steanopipe running fore and aft btweeli them, tie communication between the steam pipe and the boiler being formed by a pipe from the main steam pipe communicating with the valve-box on the boiler. So long as the boiler re tains its original position this communication, it is evident, would remain intact, but any severe work ing of the ship or alteration of the form of the ship's bottom would be attended with great r!9k of injury to the valve-box or pipe. It is believed that in the present case the Royal Sovereign's bottom has altered in its form since she has been out of dock, and that this alteration has tipped up the back of the boilers, where they rest on the vessel's bilge, and throwing their faces towards each other, the steam has thus been thrown upon the valve-boxes and pipes, and hence the accident. The theory assigned as the cause of the accident is this:—lmmediately over the damaged boilers (which are the two after ones) is fixed one of the ship's turrets, weighing with its gun and carriage 113 tons. This weight does not rest on the pivot, it is distributed over the circum ference of the iron road on which the turret re• volves, but the weight is in reality supported by four iron columns under the deck and immediately in front of the boilers. These columns stand in a space of eight feet, and resting in that small space on the ship's bottom in the vicinity of the keel the latter has bulged out under the pressure, collapsed slightly at the sides, and thus displaced the boilers. The ship will be placed in dock to-day, when a fur ther investigation will be made. The turret must be taken out of the ship and the boilers re-set in their new form, which is possibly all that may be required to render the ship efficient for the pure pose for which she has been converted. The Royal C.ommandepr Sovereign is most undoubtedly weak in her bottom, below the armour-plating, but the dockyard authorities maintain that she has suf 1- cleat strength to carry all her weights. and that yheasster the somewhat unlocked for accident which oc curred is really of little importance.
