The gre' , t rail wey through the Argentine provinces, projected by Mr. Wheelright, having been very favoure.bly reported on in this paper, the President called upon. Mr. Whcelrig,hf, who was present, to say what influence the discovery of new passes would have on his schome for carrying a line of railway over the Andes. Mr. IVLIEELLIGIIT described the route laid down for his railway over one of the northerly passes of Chili at an altitude of 16 ; 590 feet, and stated that a much lower pass had been discovered further south ; but that it was a question which would be Iho more practicable for a line of railway, as the lower pass, being further to the south, might not he so free from snow as the higher, but more northerly pass. The southern pass, however, would be in a much more direct line with the populated part of the Argentine provineee. liINAHAN'S LL WHISKY v. COGNAC, BRANDY.

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 state of preservation as renders it d;fficult to suppose that death could have resulted from natural causes. It is, moreover, to be observed that this disease so rapidly supervening upon par 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 Dabizy, 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 ix) other symptom of illness than of vomiting coming of 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 deatit as Ma. dame Pauw, and that the prisoner made both of them the victims of his cupidity.." The judge then proceeded tolhis 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 homceo• patby, and from that time you manifested the inten■ tfon to get yourself talked about, and showed an ardent desire to make a fortune. In 1853 you ash 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.

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 for 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- Annual Subscription for one vote for two „ Lite Subscription for one vote otes L 5 ls. ss. for two votes ... £lo 10s.

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 noon, 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 w onderfal change has been 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 la fitted with three distinct sets of steering apparatus —one on the upper deck, ',ne in the pilot-house for ward, and one in the captain's cabin below, and the opportunity was taken of testing their powers en 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 CAPITAL r £2,000,C00 ANNUAL INCA:ME £497,263 ACCUMULATED FUNDS £2,233,927 London —Head Offices-58, Threadneedle -street, E.r.

As the boats, however, were still fest to the tackles, he succeeded in gating the passengers in them on board again.

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 painful 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 Ewens, attendant in No. 5 Ward in the asylum, deposed that deceased was under his caro in that ward. He was very restless and irritable, and did not sleep at night. His general habit was very destructive. On Thurs day last, above minutes to one p.ni., was in No. 5 Ward, en duty in tho " 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 lle laid hold of the gas pipe, and I - lobbs forcJl the gas pipe away from Phillipa and struck him a blow on the side of the head. Phillips immediately stazgered against the wall and fell down. lie seemed very queer from the blow, but was not insensible. lie walked him away and got him to bed. Ho died about six o'clock, in witness's preserce. 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 jatlanders.

Dr. Leboucher paid her only a single visit, and Dr. Loiseau, as he admits himself, only went " to cover La Pommerais.'' It was La Pommerais who superintended her treatment. He says, in order to explain the vomiting, that his mother-in-law had au Etttaek of cholera (an allegation which Dr. Loiseau denies), and at the same time he and 25 centi grammes for her, from Labainville's pharmacy, medi caments which could 01119 have been want e d f or s u ch malady. 10 centigrammes of digitalis grammes of hydrachlorate of morphine were sup plied in the night of the 10th of Octob er by or d e r of La Pommerais, and the following day Madame Dubizy breathed her last. The prisoner lost no time in obtainin g possession of he r p ersona l pro perty, which was worth 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 long time flattered himself that his crime would never be known. However, much surprise was caused by the sudden death of Madame linhi 2 ;y, nobody paieted out at the time how strange and inexplicable the circumstances were. But the facts relative to the deaths of the widow Pauw called attention to thoes, of the former the asylum, The pipe produced is the piece of gas pipe with which Hobbs inflicted the blow. It was in the water closet, and was not properly fastened. At one end of the gas pipe is a joint, and it was with that joint that ho struck deceased on the By Mr. Ford—l had 73 patients under charge of myself and two other keepers in the ward. They did not see what took glace. I called out to the other keepers, and they ran to my assistance, and helped to convey Phillips to his bed. Hobbs is not a violent character. He had been there about three weeks. He had been violent and pushed patients about, but did not strike them. 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 6in the morning till Bat night. I assume deceasel to be violent, because of the torn state of his bedding in the morning. There are no persons from whom danger is expected in No. 5 Ward. 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 after 5 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. The doctor did not see the deceased till about 5 o'clock. The occurrence took place a little before 1. By the Jury—l did not go to the doctor at once, because I did not think the accident a serious one. I skewed the gas pipe to MrFlemming when I told him of the oocurrence. I have not been reprimanded for not going direct to the surgeon. It was about half-past 1 when I told Mr Flemming. By Mr Ford—After Phillips was struck he was taken to his bed in the half-padded room, because he became so violent. When I first saw deceased alter the occurrence E wens had got hold of him, and another attendant had hold of Hobbs. Did not make the entries in the book till the evening. The book was produced, and the entry was —" John Vine Phillips, alight cut on left side of the head ; done by Daniel Hobbs." There was another entry in the column 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 he 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. Geo. 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 sit' eof 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 he 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 ma 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 circumstances 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.

" A communication from the Amtmann of the district, dated yesterday, informs us that Mejor-General E. von Bornhorst has required of the town of Viborg a war contribution 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 famish to the u'in,:st of our power the supplies required for the ELub istence of the Pinssiau troops, it would not accord with our laws, and, following the orders re e2ived upon the subject from our Goyernment.wauld violate the duty we owe to king and country if we took any steps to furnish the required amount.

ROYAL GEOGRAPiIICAL SOCIETY, The eleventh meeting of the present session of this society was held at Burlington-house, on 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 PARISH, who was present and read the paper, said that Senor Cox was the son of an English physician of Valparaiso, and had under takan his recent remarkable journey with a view to discover an easy route between the new Chi Han settlements on the Pacific coast in 40 deg. and 41 deg. S. lat. and the river Negro, which 80 years ago bad been proved by Villarino, a Spanish ex■ 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, Llanquilhne and Todos os-Santos, towards the almost inland sea of Na guelhuapi. 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,Sooft. 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 Limey, and forms one of the affluents 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 tune 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. O r Pre.

The western the w new wGheernm he German c surveyedo lon y of in Proof o had o n ly to point to the fact th at regions in the world, parts of South America someembrfacefd Port Montt, in a reg ion the coast, was 1' Pe°l' • cd only by scanty hordes of savages, had in ten years become a town of 15,000 i n h a bit a nts. A little further to the north th ere was a place where we now heard of 20 or 30 s hi ps a t a ti me loading coal; white at the time of his visit no thing 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 ,he usual manner there can be no doubt she would have made 13 knots. Her draught of water was 20ft. llin. 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, 4:e., 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, 9ia. aft. The trying of the ship's steering power and the run through Stokes Bay yesterday were all very satisfactory, but some alarm was created on board imnndiately afterw:,r3s by the die-- covery of a serious accident below. An escape of steam had taken place, and an examination dis closed the fueL that the stop v-alre box az.i ccm mucication with the steam pipe had been torn off the after boilers, The necessary measures were at once taken, and the mischief happily ended there. The boilers of the ship stand in the usual position, face to face with the steam pipe running fore and aft between them, the communication between the steam pipe and the huller 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 skip's bottom would be attended with great rFsk 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. Tho ship will be placed in dock to-day, when a far 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 Sovereign is most undoubtedly weak in her bottom, below the armour-plating, but the dockyard authorities maintain that she has suffi cient strength to carry all her weights. and that the somewhat unlooked for accident which has oc curred is really of little impo r t ance .
