A NOVEL. having been gained by generals who at the time were wounded or dead, of marches into the in terior of Russian Poland having been effected by detachments which had already retired in con- fusion to Galicia, and so on. I read the other day in a Polish paper that 1,500 men had entered Volhynia from Lithuania. Why should I believe it ? Why should I consider this statement more trustworthy than tho statements published a few weeks ago to the effect that Little Russia was in a state of revolt ; that there were 15,000 insurgents in Volhynia ; that an insurrection had broken out around Kaminiec-Podelski ; that the Volhynian peasants (who cut out the eyes and run skewers through the cheeks and lips of the Polish proprie tors suspected of insurrectionary tendencies) are favourable to the Polish cause—in short, than a dozen statements which, having taken them on trust for a moment, I afterwards found to be either grossly incorrect or wholly 'without foundation ? I will say nothing about suppressions ; it would be too much to expect the Poles to proclaim to the world how many peasants the insurgents have found it advis able to bang by way of example and to "encourage the others," or how many guilty and innocent per sons they have assassinated, not but also in Cracow and Lemberg, a necessary, from a military point of view, to intimi date the peasants, and deter them from giving infor mation and assistance to the 'Missions. At least, however, it is a necessity of a very deplorable kind, and one which the Poles may be excused for not en larging upon, for it is not and cannot be their object to keep foreigners well informed as to the exact position of affairs in Poland. Their aim is to place themselves and all their actions in the most favour able light possible. They are standing on the de fensive, in a desperate contest, and the political Pole will no more give evidence against himself than would any private Pole who was being tried for his life. I SPIRIT effect of As for the revolutionary party , w hich must not increasing the internal strength or Russia be supposed to include all who read I. Herzen's writings on account of their novel tone and of their high literary merit; it has hitherto proed itself powerless for direct action. Its influence has shown itself chiefly among some of the junior officers of the army, and M. Heizen has himself acknowledged that his general teaching is odious to the peasantry whom ire has so earnestly striven to befriend, but who believe that the man who is the enemy of their Sovereign is their enemy also.

The deficiency of Hotel accommodation in India, China, and other places in the East to which Europeans now resort in large and annually increasing' numbers, is a subject of general complaint ; and it is evident that the development of the means of transit by ocean and river steamers, and by railways, which has been in rapid progress now for some years, must imperfectly fulfil all i's important objects, so far as European intercourse with the East is conoL rned, until this want is adequately supplied. In England, and on the uontinent of Europe, it is now an ascertained fact that the joint-stock system may most suc cesafully be applied to the establishment of Hotels of the first class. If this be so where good private Hotels before existed in large numbers, there seems no reason to doubt that an equal deg,ree of commercial success is attainable by the applica!tion of capital, upon the same system , to the same object, in countries where, though the demand is great and increasing, it may almost be said that good private Hotels do not exist. In Calcutta a joint-stock company has lately purchased and undertaken the management of' an Hotel, and theyrspects of the entererise, as a commercial speculation, ma be inferred from the very high premium at which their shares are quoted in the Calcutta market, see " Times" July 17, the " Englihmans Weekly Mail" of June 8,1861 and " Allen's Indian Mail," viz., £25 paid, present value, £42i ex div., e qual to 70 per cent, premium, and the payment of a dividend of 10 per cent. for the half-year ending, 30th April last, equal to 20 per cent. per annum. Bombay offers a wide field for the establishment of an Hotel of a firs , class character. The early completion of vast lines of railway converging, in the island of Bombay, and the more frequent steam communica tion between that pert and Europe which will soon tak , Waco, must very much increase the demand for such aocom moqation. The same may be said of Madras. tlt is under these circumstances that the Oriental Hotels he,lPany (Limited) is established, in the confident belief that application of European capital to India in this form will not be less profitable than useful. It is proposed, in the first instance, to supply the urgent requirements of Bombay and Point de Galle. There are equally important places which will naturally engage the early attention of the Company, such for example as 3 , ladras, Singapore, and Kurrachee ; not to speak of many very important railway statio ns i n th e in whore,t India, where there are now no Hotels at all, and e at a comparatively small outlay, there is a large field for profitab e °per ations. The largerclass of the Company's Hotels will afford all the Conveniences of the best European Hotels, adapted to the climate, and t o the habits of those for whom they are in tended; whilst, in even the smallest class. the health and comfort of the inmates will be carefully studied. It is intended to constitute local committees of management in each Presidency where Hotels may be established. In the event of two-thirds of the first issue of shares not being subscribed for, no allotment will take place, and the tion. deposits will be return e d t o t h e subscrib.rs, without deduc- It is proposed to pay to shareholders 5 per cent. interest upon the capit a l as paid up, until the first dividend is de c.

LEMBERG, July 15. There have been signs of a rising of peasants in the district of Bochnia, in West Galicia. Why they should rise is by no means clear, but several pro prietors have been threatened, the villages are in a very excited state, and it is said that acts of vio lence have been committed, and that the peasants have only with great difficulty been restrained from pillage. Two very different, but not contradictory, explanations of this movement are given. The Lemberg official paper states that the excitement was caused by the news of some peasants having been hanged by the insurgents in the kingdom of Poland ; while the Gazeta Narodowa maintains that it is due to the intrigues of Russian agents. Both explanations may be true, for it is well known that the peasants r..)f the kingdom often favour the Russians and betray the Poles, and that when the Poles catch them at such work they hang them; and notbi-Lig is more probable than that Russia, en raged BA she is at Volhynia having been invaded by the Galicians, may have resolved to foment troubles in Cialicia, in which case nothing more would be necessary than to let the peasants know that their brethren were being;executed by " the Poles" on the other side of the frontier. Bochnia was the centre and chief scene of the horrible massacres of 1846. Since then taskwork has been abolished, and all forced relations between peasant and proprietor put an end to. Nevertheless, considerable bad feeling is still entertained by the former towards the latter class, partly from old recollections of statute labour, and of its inevitable, invariable accompaniment the law of the stick, and from an insane dread that the Poles may some day, after recovering their national independence, reinstitute serfdom, and partly from an unsettled and irritat ing dispute as to the privilege claimed by the pea sant to cut wood in the proprietors' forests, and to send his cattle to graze in the proprietors' pasture lands. The peasant appears to confound an ancient permission granted to him when he was the proprie tor's subject, with an absolute right. However that may be, there is a " peasant question" in Austrian as well as in Russian Poland, and if the Poles think it worth while to cultivate the goodwill of the agri cultural classes in provinces where they have no im mediate intention of getting up an insurrection, they would do well to make concessions in time, without reference to the strict legality of the Galician pea sants' demands. I know that it will be difficult to make these concessions with advantage, for the more that is given to the peasants they more they require, but it is more difficult still to liberate Poland by force of arms, when the great majority of the nation are opposed to its would-be liberators. It is as well to speak the truth about the un happy Polish insurrection as about other things, and since the total failure of the Galician expedition to Volhynia, following close upon the total failure of the insurrection organised in Volhynia itself, it has become more than ever evident that unaided it can not last. There seems to be a general understand ing among all the newspapers of the continent, which claim to be considered liberal organs, that when the Polish and Russian accounts of any given occurrence differ, the former ought to be accepted and the latter rejected. Both, however, ought to be rejected. Neither Russians nor Poles tell the truth as to passing events in Poland. The lie would seem to be used as a weapon on both sides, and the Poles, darkened, and e more injudicious and unscrupulous of their friends, shower lies forth 'with so much to is of the falsehood. Polish skill and in such numbers that the political sky A iinsurrection, s a fu l e l 7 Europe eteh tei u, s beneathi kanepi missiles e e clumsily manufactured, and for the most part do with le regard not reach the West of Europe at all. The great aim have a double ob je ct of the Russian 1E • l journals facts is to deceive R • usstans. The Poles, however, insurrection is mor e hand to persuade the West on the other to ke ep up bhnlo.epTte i hsh n aeonyf m iet i the s e r erk e e a i p s ane r lsn t l e . hs uy s h t e r e hig ya n se d e, t a na i o e n r n w et e g sde, of Europe that the Polish not only by publishing exaggerated and sometimes utterly untrue accounts of Polish victories, but also by misleading them as to th e pro b a bili ty of a war being s ( to undertaken quote oneon theirinstance) t behalf.Thuie leading article in the Times of July 4, complaining that the diplo matic action in connection with the Polish question may place England in such a position that, while having no wish at all to go to war, she may have yet to choose between war and a disgraceful peace, is represented in a telegraphic summary as simply setting forth that England has now only to choose between war and a disgraceful peace, All that por tion of the article in which a war on behalf of Polish independence is protested against is omitted. The interest taken by the West of Europe in the Polish insurrection may be said to be in proportion to its belief in the magnitude of the movement, and accordingly Europe is informed from day to day of disturbances having taken place in provinces which have remained perfectly'quiet, of victories It is not from any wish to spoil the Polish game — played with far greater fair which, on the whole, is ness by the Poles than by their adversaries—that I call attention to its true character ; but English readers ought to be made to understand that it is one in which, when fair play does not seem likely to succeed, cheating is resorted to. I doubt whether the Poles will do themselves much good by deceiving foreigners for a littlewhile, and then, a little while afterwards, losing their cha racter for veracity. Already the most respectable of the French papers are beginning to complain that their telegraphic correspondents in Poland are not sufficiently careful in supplying them with news. I do not know whether they are careful or not, but they certainly forward s great deal of news which is not true. The senders of telegra ms , however, are not the worst offenders in this respect. The tele grams are, for the most part, based on statements contained in the Polish papers, and those who trans mit them have to choose between doing so at once, when the information is as fresh as it is astonishing, or not at all. The telegraphic agents have often no means of verifying statements sufficiently striking to be worthy of being telegraphed, and the foreign writers who base their articles on the Polish tele grams are in the same position. But if some allowance may be made for persons who, on the strength of false rumours published in journals which are glad to adopt them, mislead the public under pretence of giving it early informa tion, what are we to think of artists who, hearing of occurrences which have really never happened, resolve to depict them as though they had taken place beneath their eyes ? When the newspaper reader has a falsehood offered to him first in a tele gram, secondly in a commentary founded on the telegram, and, thirdly, in a picture founded on the telegram and the commentary together, he must be as sceptical as though he had lived for several months in Poland during an insurrection not to swallow it at last. Accordingly, the subscribers to the French Illustration cannot be blamed if, seeing in the number for the 4th of July a representation of a band of " Galician Volunteers" (who bear no resemblance to Galician Volunteers) "encamped at Druczkopol, in Volhynia " (which no " Gallician Volunteers" or insurgents of any kind , have entered, and where there has been no rising), they imagine that the story and picture of the Druczko pol insurrection are, somehow or other, not alto gether without foundation. The sce ne in question must have been invented long before the ill-starred Galician expedition had even reached the Volhy nian frontier, and it figures worthily in the same number with another in which an imaginary rising of the " Cossacks of the Ukraine" (so notorious for their Polish sympathies) is depicted. Let it not be imagined that the patriots who lead the Polish insurrection in the field endeavour either to conceal their defeats or to exaggerate the import ance of their victories. They may blind themselves to many of the difficulties they have to encounter — and had they not done so from the first the insur rection could not have lasted as it has until now— but if they allow themselves to be deceived they are not the men to attempt to .mislead others. There are plenty of persons, however, ready to do the work for them, and the more the armed insurrec tion seems to decline, the more persistently is it announced day after day that " the insurrection goes on increasing," and that it extends " from the Baltic to Bessarabia." One telegrapher —probably the same who made poor Horodycki march rapidly upon I)ubno when he was lying dead at Radziwilow —caused Rochebrun, the other day, to appear with 600 horsemen on the banks of the Pruth ; this tele gram, however, seems to have answered. At least the French journals have not yet published any articles beaded "Rochebrun on the Pruth," and the Illustration has hitherto abstained from presenting its readers with caricatures of "Volunteers from Moldavia entering Podolia." However desirable it may be to keep up the in surrectionary spirit in Poland, and sympathy with the insurrection in France and England, I do not think it is fair to deceive the insurgents as to the chances of a foreign intervention in their favour, though it may be argued, on the other hand, that if all hope of foreign aid were abandoned the very state of things which first caused such aid to be looked forward to as possible would soon come to an end. The Poles are surrounded and tormented by difficul ties of all kinds, and a nation cut into three, know ing too well who are its enemies, but not knowing where to find or by what arguments to procure a single friend, may be excused for not pursuing a straightforward course, and for not looking in the face dangers and obstacles which ere quite insur mountable. At least, if this be inexcusable, the in surrection itself must be condemned, or, at best, viewed with pity as a movement of blind despair. When the Poles began their present struggle, wiihout arms, without money, without any prepa ration worth speaking of, and without the goodwill of their peasants, they had, nevertheless, some slight apparent chances in their favour. They believed that in Russia, a country which they hate too much to take the trouble of studying with attention even its weak points, a political revolution was at hand, or if not a political revolution, at least an insurrec tion of serfs. They even fancied that the Russians would basely profit by a rising in Poland to over turn their own Government, whereas the effect of the rising has been to rally all the moderate reform party in Russia—all the landed proprietors NA ho year and a half ago were so urgent, and in some places so peremptory, in their demands fur a con stitution—to the Crown. Prince Alexander Schtcherbutoff, who was one of the two most con spicuous leaders of the Constitutional party in the Moscow Assembly of 1862, is now Mayor of Mos cow and President of an Elective Municipal Council which possesses considerable local power ; and it was he who obtained permission to form the Volunteer companies which are to replace regular troops at Moscow, in order that a greater number of the latter may be available for service in Poland. Hitherto the Polish insurrection has only had the The greatest chance the Poles have had has bean given to them by the Russian Government itself, which by cautioning the soldiers against obeying too implicitly the orders of the regimental officers or (what comes to much the same thing) by encou raging them to keep a watch over these officers and report as to their conduct, destroyed all discipline in more than one corps. The same result was pro duced by the infamous incitements to pillage and slaughter issued by many of the generals, and which, in some instances, the more honourable of the regi mental officers sought to check at the peril of their lives. The abolition, at an opportune moment, of the right to inflict corporal punishment in an arbi trary manner is said to have been another cause of " demoralisation' in the Russian army. Then when the moderate party in Poland accepted the programme of the revolutionesry party in regard to the serf question, and the peasant was declared free proprietor of his land, there seemed t o be some foundation for a hope that the peasant might prove grateful to his benefactors; but the gift came too late, and looked too much like a speculation. If the peasant's rent was to be forgiven at all it should have been forgiven to him earlier. In the kingdom at this moment the peasant is in some districts favourable to the Polish cause, in many others un favourable ; and, on the whole, is indifferent. In the Catholic portions of Lithuania he appears, here and there, to have given active assistance to the insurgents, and the Lithuanians, of all classes, have certainly shown themselves more energetic than the inhabitants of the other divisions of ancient Poland. In the south-eastern provinces the insurrection has quite failed, and more completely and far more sud denly than it failed in 1831, when an expedition of regular troops entered Volhynia from Galicia as a very irregular expedition entered it the other day. All endeavours to drive the Russians permanently out of " Ruthenea"—that is to say, the Ruthenian provinces of Volhynia, Podolia, and the Ukraine— must, from a variety of reasons, be attended with far greater difficulties even than similar attempts to drive them out of Lithuania and the Congress King dom,. If the two latter divisions of ancient Poland were replaced in the hands of the Poles, the fortress which commands them would also be in their hands. Bat the capital, and military key of the three great Ruthenian and Russo-Greek provinces is the Russian city and fortress of Kieff, which stands on the Polish side of the Dnieper and enters the Ruthenian pro vinces like a wedge. Kieff formed no part of the Poland of 1772. It belonged to the Russian empire before the partition and to the Czarite of Muscovy, before the " Czar of Greater, Lesser, and White Russia" (which was the official, though not the fa miliar designation of the Czar in England at the beginning of the 18th century) had adopted the title of " Emperor of all the Russias." It was, in fact, ceded freely, for a promise of money, to Peter the Great's father, by John Sobieski, when the latter was preparing for his great expedition against the Turks. But without considering the possibility of recon quering the Ruthenian provinces, it is difficult for the Poles to make even a Polish demonstration in those parts ; not that the very small civilised class in Volhynia, Podolia, and the Ukraine is not alto gether Polish, but because the very large semi-bar barous class of newly-emancipated Ruthenian pea sant-slaves is bitterly hostile to the Poles, and be cause its natural servile hatred has been encouraged and excited by appeals to its timidity and fanati cism. Every one knows that the Polish proprietors agreed the other day to give the Ruthenian peasants their portions of land in freehold, and premised to respect their religion and language ; but every one does not know that the Polish National Govern ment, or at least its recognised agents, were guilty of a very unbecoming act in their dealings with these peasants, which was easily, and in this one instance most justly, turned against its authors. In the districts of which the few insurgents who ap peared in Volhynia contrived, in the absence of the Russian soldiers, to gain possession, the duty on spirits was declared abolished, and in one place at least, to my certain knowledge, the price of vodka was reduced by about a rouble a gallon, and all in the name of the liberty and independence of Poland. " This," said the Russians, in reply, in an address given to the priests to be read in all the churches, "is a de glee worthy only of a Jew, a Lech, or a devil." (The Poles are called Lechs or Lechites by the Ruthenians and many of the Russians, just as the Russians are called Moskals by the Poles.) "You will not get the Emperor to cheapen spirits," the address went on to say, " for he would have the orthodox keep their heads clear," and so on. As for land, they were told that "the conspirators from that hotbed of Lechery, the kingdom of Poland, might give them " a piece of barren soil to he watered by their tears ;" but that would be all. Ultimately, the Ruthenian peasants showed they did not think much of the promised land flowing with gin and brandy offered to them by the Poles, for they knew that the Poles had no power to give it to them ; and when after a few days the troubled districts were occupied by Russian troops they fell upon their Polish benefactors and inflicted on them more cruel tortures and more horrible deaths than were ever heard of during the worst excesses of the French revolution. I regret to hear that another expedition to Volhy nia is about to start, and if the Russians are as dia bolically wicked as the Poles believe them to be they will rejoice at the news, for if it does not fail at the very outset, like Wysocki's expedition, it will lead to a fresh massacre of the Polish inhabitants by the Ruthenian peasantry. I can recal conversationsll have had at different times during the last few months with some half dozen proprietors of Volhy nia, each of whom assured me that he looked fob ward with dread to the breaking out of an insur rection in that province, and without being able to sav that it was the general wish, I know that it was the earnest desire of many of the proprietors that the National Government would send them no expeditions from Galicia, and that the anonymous and irresponsible body which directs the general movement was begged to content itself in regard to the three south-eastern provinces with levying money contributions.

But what is that which remains the same for all time, pur!, impalpable essence, whose evil fate has . cast it among the colossal creations of earthly policy and c onvenient wisdom ? The worst that can be said of Poland—that it is as it always was—is its strongest plea to the interests of those whose faith is not in the greatest number of battalions. How are we to deal with this more than strange element? By the genius of our own political system and by the tra ditions of our fathers we are bound to cherish our deep interest for what we call an unfortunate race. That interest is part of ourselves, and is as inde structible as the race itself. It rises and rises again with every fresh struggle on the part of its object, No doubt this universal sympathy feeds the vitality of Poland ; and when Russia sends her Governors and her legions thither, it is to quell, not merely the conspiracies and risings of a few millions on the spot, but the instincts of the whole civilised world. So does Russia confess when she alleges that Poland would be quiet enough but for the foreigner, the universal Pole, who is to be found everywhere. and who pours in from all sides to countenance, to exasperate, to assist, and to die. With the local substance Russia is prepared to deal ; it is the mighty shadow that disconcerts and baffles her. But what is to be done, when the Nestor who has taken part in every nego tion for Poland since diplomacy took the place of arms can only claim to have secured a verbal ex pression of sympathy from all the nations of Europe that can sympathise at all, and when Poland's best and warmest friend can only pronounce a solemn judgment on the futility of everything that has yet been done ? It has all been good as far as it goes, the best in its kind that man could do ; but it has been done and done in vain. Mr. Horsman describes the Poland of diplomacy, and preaches a " vanity of vanities" npon the long series of remonstrances, from those of the proud Castlereagh to the last effort of the irrepressible Palmerston. As one tricked, cajoled, and unfairly beaten, Mr. Horsman is for sweeping the board clean. The Treaty of Vienna he reads as a man would read a compact with the Arch Fiend, when he felt he could neither dispute it nor stand upon its terms. It is the deed by which Poland has been made over to Russia, who with the juggler's trick of two alternate pleas, benevolent intentions and actual conquest, dex terously contrived to meet both present and future reclamations. So Mr. Horsman treats the docu ment as a pitfall which history has proved worth less for good, and only powerful for evil. Russia stands on both a prior and a subsequent conquest, and only recognises the Treaty as a bond to which she is ready to give her own interpretation when Poland has ceased to fight, to act, and to speak. Poland herself, too, has thrown away the Treaty. She finds it worthless. What she is struggling for is independence. Why, then, asks Mr. Horsman, are the nations of Europe to appeal to a bond virtually, if not actually, rejected by both the parties chiefly concerned ? Let Poland henceforth stand on tee ground of Greece, of Italy, of any noble race ground under the heel of the op pressor, trampled, torn, and broken to pieces. This is his demand, and it is impossible not to read it as a defiance to Russia which puts her on the level of Turkey as regards Greece, and Austria a s re g ards Italy. It is the broad ground of a man aho is sick of a war of words. If the map of Europe is to be rear ranged, the new boundaries must be written, as they have ever been written, with the point of the sword. This, too, he says, is what diplomacy must end in. Poland must reappear on the map of Europe, and diplomacy will never write it there. There is no mistaking such langaage. Mr. Horsman does not condescend to explanation. It can only mean one thing. We are to forget the story of this century, and, as men would act if they could combine the opportunities and impulses of youth with the deter mination and experience of age, we are to contest, by force of arms if necessary, the original partition of Poland. At all events, such a proposition ought to be looked well in the face. Are we prepared to enter upon a course of demands on Russia which may involve us in a war,not only with her, but with the other parties to the original partition ? Have we framed to ourselves the extent of our demands, the Poland that is to be ; and do we ourselves honestly desire this mighty mediaeval restoration ? There are Poles from the Baltic to the Mediter ranean. There are Poles everywhere, and though they meet to fight, they divide for everything else. But if we give up the Treaty of Vienna, we have nothing else to stand upon with Russia but that wide platform upon which races make their way, religions destroy one another, and em pires are founded. We enter the Conference sword in hand, ready to throw it into the scale that kicks the beam. That we may come even to this, at some future time, the inextinguishable nature of this struggle renders too probable ; but we are most of us prepared to pray for "peace in our time" on this question at least. If, indeed, the West of Europe wishes to push its loftier civilisation east ward, and to make the Poles the vanguard of pro gress, it hardly becomes any organ of opinion to discourage such a crusade. But let us not drift into it. Let us not float unconsciously down to the broken waters, for which our craft is neither built nor manned. It is good to be a hero, or a marty r, but not to be beguiled and entangled, one knows. not how, into these romantic expeditious. Grenat acts require preparation.

Lord Palmerston's statement upon this peint in answer to LorAs Stanley a nd Hotham, w as ihought to be so explicit that evasion seemed to be impossible. A distinct assur ance was given by the Prime Minister that the final decision should be suspended, if necessary, till next session, in order to alio‘v time for the House of Commons to peruse the pa pers and express an opinion on the subject. But it certainly seems, that in Lord Palmerston's philosophy, words were given toP rime Ministers to conceal their meaning. Forty hours after his lordship's express assurance that judgment on the Banda and Eirwee Prize should be deferred, the decision of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury was dispatched from Whitehall, and offi cially announced to Sir George Whitlock's prize agents. The l etter conveying the decision, it is true, was dated July 14 . , but it was not delivered in Sr. James's squa re until the afternoon of Jaly 16. It seems as if there is really a fatality attaching Harrington, a coal porter. The deceased was a labourer onboard the Guernsey stone ships in the Regent's Canal Dock, Ratelifr. On the night of Sunday week, about 11 o'clock, the deceased was standing at the corner of London street, when the man Harrington came out of his house and addressed the deceased, whom he knocked down with great violence with his clenched fist. Several of the neighbours went up to the spot and remonstrated with Harrington at his brutality, when he threatened to serve them the same, ex claiming, " Any man that calls me a - Irish man, if I can't fist him I will boot him." The de ceased was raised up and conveyed home by a police ' constable and a sailor, who placed him upon the floor of his room. He remained in a state of uncon sciousness until the following morning, when Mr. M'Andrew, the surgeon of Limehouse, attended, and prescribed for the deceased, who never rallied, and died on Thursday last. Several witnesses proved the violence, and spoke as to the general conduct of the man Harrington, who was the terror of the neighbourhood. Mr. M'Andrew, M.R.C.S., said that the deceased was in a state of insensibility. He had since made a post mortena examination of the body, and death was the result of fracture of the base of the skull and effusion of blood on the brain. The injury was caused by external violence. The Coroner read over the voluminous evidence, and summed up the chief points of the case, after which the jury returned a verdict of "Manslaughter against Sohn Harrington for killing and slaying John Godden." I The Coroner then made out his warrant for the committal of the accused to Nei; bate. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE MAIL. PLYMOUTH, Tuesday.
