There is an activa demand for discount accom modation in the open market and at the Bank of England, and full rates are everywhere required. Business is expected to continue on an extensive scale until after the 4th of the month. During the last few days there has not been much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. The unfavourable and foggy weather has prevented the inspection of samples of most of the principal staples. Sugar, however, is held for full rates, while fine qualities of colonial coffee are in demand, in consequence of the small quantity on offer. Rice has been at steady rates, while a more cheerful tone has prevailed in the tallow market, quotations generally exhibiting an upward ten dency. The directors of the Auction Mart attended yes terday to receive and open the tenders of the pro perty, the highest amount being .t 115,255 10s. 6d., which was accepted. At the first general meeting to-day of the share- holders of the International Financial Society the report presented by the directors was unanimously adopted, and a dividend equal to 25 per cent. per annum declared, The accounts embrace the opera tions of the society to the end of December last, and the profit realised, after deducting all expenses, amounted to £199,950 183. 11d. This SUM was applied as follows :-Ist, £19,931 10s. ld. to pay ment of interest at 5 per cent. per annum on the called-up capital, in conformity with clause No. 154 of the articles of the association; 2d, £77,568 93. 11d. to bonus, to make, together with the abuve interest, a dividend of 139. per share, free of income tax; equal in all to 25 per cent. per annum ; 3d, £lB,OOO 193. sd. to reserve fund, in conformity with clause No. 25 of said articles. This, after deducting the necessary amounts for directors' commission, and income tax on the dividend, will leave a balance of £76,680 193. sd. to be carried forward to new ac count, which balance, together with the amount of £lB,OOO 195. sd. placed to reserve fund, leaves a total of £94,681 18s. 10d. undivided. The Queensland Sheep Investment Company has been introduced under the auspices of the Mercan tile Credit Association. The capital is £400,000 in 10,000 shares of £4O each. The directors are highly respectable, and the undertaking is formed with the object of enabling English capitalists to avail them selves of the eligible opportunities which are offered for investment in the colony of Queensland by sheep farming operations. Arrangements have been made for the purchase of stations on the Darling Downs, now in full operation, comprising an area of up wards of 1,500 square miles, with the sheep and cattle thereon ; the vendors taking payment for a considerable portion of the purchase in the shares of the company. Business, which can at once be commenced, is calculated to pay an early and satis factory dividend, irrespective of the accumulated prcfit to be derived from the increase of the breed ing flocks, which, in ordinary seasons, may be esti mated at 80 per cent.

A. further decline of a per cent. has taken place in the market f or C onso l s, w hi ch are now quoted ®t 90i 91 for money, and 91:- for the account.

This morning the Lord Chief Justice commenced his summing up in this case, first remarking on the importance of the issue joined, and then proceeding to read the evidence. It is uncertain at what hour the verdict may be delivered. If possible, we shall give the result in a later edition. NOTIFICATION OF BLOCKADE. (From a Second Supplemen! to the London Gazette of Friday, the 29th of Febraary.—MOnday, lebrua ry 29.) FOREIGN-OFFICE, Feb. 29. It is hereby notified that Earl Russell, her Ma jesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has received from the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of Denmark at this Court a notification, dated the 26th of February, 1864, of the blockade by the Danish naval forces of all ports and inlets on the east coast of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein from the 25th of this month (February), with the exception of Neustadt, the Islands of Als and Aeree, and such other places as are actually under the au thority of his Majesty the King of Denmark; and further notifying that the blockade will succes sively be raised for every place that tames again into the power of the Royal Government, and public notice thereof be given. _ The following is the official communication re ceived by Earl Russell : Legation of Denmark, Feb. 2G. My Lord, —I am directed by my Government to inform your Excellency that, according to an official notice issued on the 18th inst. by the Danish Ministry of Marine : " All ports and inlets on the coasts of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein will be blockaded from the 25th of this month, with the exception of Neustadt, the Islands of Als and Aeroe, and such other places as are actually under the authority of his Majesty the King. " The blockade will successively be raised for every place that comes again into the power of the Royal Government, and public notice thereof be given."—l have, &c., TORBEN BILLE. The Right Hon. Earl Russell, &c,, Foreign-office. Lord Russell has also received the following de spatch from Sir Augustus Paget, her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Copenhagen, forwarding a copy of a note which had been addressed to him by the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, notifying the establishment of the blockade, and stating that neutral vessels will be allowed to the let of April to clear out of the blockaded ports : Copenhagen, Feb. 22, My Lord—l have the honour to enclose herewith copy of a note which I have received from M, Quaade, enclosing the notification by the Minister of Marine that after the 25th of this month a blockade of the east coast of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein is to be established with the exception of certain places therein specially named. M. Quaade also states that any neutral ship then lying in a blockaded harbour will be allowed till April 1 to leave it, either in ballast or with cargo ; and if in any special case it should happen that this delay is not sufficient for the clear ing out of the neutral ships, the officer in command of the blockading force is authorised to grant, on demand of the consular agent, a further delay for their free departure. I have sent copies of this note and its enclosures to Mr. Consul Taylor, and hava instructed him to inform the Vice-Consuls in his district of the intentions of the Danish Government. —I have, Scc„ A, PA.GLT. The Earl Russell, (Translation.) Copenhagen, Feb. 20: Sir—l have the honour to inform you that from the 25th of this month all the ports and inlets of the east coast of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein will be in a state of blockade, with the exception of Neustadt., the Islands of Als and Aeroe, and other places actually under the autho rity of the King. While transmitting to you herewith some copies of the publicition in which the Minister of Marine notifies the blockade, I venture to have recourse to your kind interven tion to request you to be good enough to give notice to the consular agents of your Government resident at the block aded places, notifying to them at the same time that all neutral ships which at the commencement of the blockade are in a blockaded port will, up to the Ist of April, have the right of leaving either with cargo or in ballast: If, from special circumstances, the delay fixed for free exit is not found sufficient in any particular case, the officer charged with the blockade is authorised to arrange for a longer term with the Consular agent, on receiving an appli cation from him to that effect. Receive, &c., G. QuAADE. A Curious Case, An application was made last week to the Civi, Tribunal of the Seine under the following circum stances : A widow lady named Hautefeuille, whose hus band died in 1844, became insane some years after wards, and was finally declared, by a judgment of the Tribunal of the Seine, in July, 1862, in capable of managing her affairs. Previously to this judgment, Madame Hautefeuille had confided to her confessor, the Abbe Canbert, manager of the School of St. Genevieve, a con siderable part of her fortune. In August, 1862, the Abbe Beaurain, who had succeeded the Abbe Caubert as manager of the school above-men tioned, restored to M. Moulin, the husband of one of the lunatic's daughters, recently appointed her guardian by the tribunal, 22 Roman bonds, and an inscription of Piedmontese rente producing a yearly dividend of 200 fr. These securities represented a total of about 28,000 fr. The Abbe Beaurain also gave M. Moulin a note of hand for 8,000 fr., which was paid in the October following, and received from him a receipt in full of all demands. In July, 1863, how ever, M. Moulin commenced proceedings against the Abbes Caubert and Beaurain, to recover a fur ther sum of 12,000 fr., on the ground that Mine. Hautefeuille had not confided to M. Caubert secu rities worth only 28,000 fr,, but a sum of 48,000 fr. in cash, and he demanded to be allowed to prove 1, That Mme. Hautefeuille had frequently expressed to third persons her intention of leaving her pro perty away from her two daughters ; 2, that she had borrowed money and given it to the Jesuits ; 3, that she had led a miserable life, as if she had no resources whatever; 4, that the Abbe Beanrain admitted that he had received from her 48,000 fr. in each; and 6, that the Jesuits had a quantity of furniture be longing to the lunatic which they had not paid for, as they pretended. The applicant's counsel stated that Mme. Hautefeuille had been under the influence of her Jesuit confessors ever since 1844, and had confided to them whatever money came into her possession, and had received little or no interest for it. His client was therefore justified in taking measures to recover the ful l a mount of the principal. The application was opposed by the Abbs Caubert and Beaurain, whose counsel sti gmatised the present proceed ings as an attempt to extort money from his clients by charging them with scandalous dishonesty. All the money due to the lunatic's estate had been re stored, and the applicant himself had gave a receipt in full of all demands. The Tribunal, after hearing the Public Prosecutor, Who strongly reprobated the applicant's conduct, rejected all Moulin's demands, and condemned him to pay a ll costs. Dr.PUSEY has evidently got a profound convictio n that true unity of spirit is engendered by com mon repulsion rather than common attraction. " Any one," he confides to the Record, "who knows anything of human nature, knows in what countless cases the fear of H ell first drove men to their forgotten God and Saviour," and there fore he calla the Lord Chancellor's recent judgment in the case of " Essays and Reviews" soul-destroying, and, on exactly the same principle, he offers to ally himself with the Record, on the ground of a strong common repulsion to that Judgment—an offer which the Record, recognising in the most cordial spirit that common hatreds imply a truly Christian unity of spirit, gladly accepts, calls Dr, Pusey's letter " admirable and faithful, " and sounds the call to common action on the part of all who think with the new Puseyite and the old Evangelical party that, as Dr. Pusey naively remind us, " Good when He revealed Hell, knew the creatures which ho had made better than these people." This, then, is to be the basis of the new coalition between the dregs of the Puseyite and the dregs of the Evangelical party—for common belief, the assertion of the verbal inspiration of the Bible, and the Gospel of Hell everlasting ; for common action the subver sion of the Privy Council's judgment. Dr. Fussy writes, and the Record receives what he says, exactly as if our Lord had come preaching and revealing not Himself and the Kingdom of God, but the Devil and the Kingdom of Hell, in order that the scared human race might walk back wards from the bottomless pit, and so recoil into their Saviour's arms. It is a curious example of a great spiritual engine with the wheels reversed.—Spectator. " We have received accounts," says the Tosaon nais, " of the Iphigenie frigate, which left this port on the Gth January, having on board a number of convicts for New Caledonia. She touched at St. Vincent's (Cape do Verd Islands) on the 27th of that month. Some cases of scurvy had appeared among the passengers, but, owing to the precautionary measures adopted, the disease was soon checked, The conduct of the convicts on board was very satisfactory, A number of them, under the direction of the Abbe lienouard, the chaplain, had learned religious ells tubes, which they sang during the performance of mass 9 ,Sundays,", The Dano-German Correspondence. Another portion (No. III.) of this correspondence was published yesterday. It brings down the despatches to Dec. 16, 1863, and includes no less than 450 documents. The most interesting of the series to the general public are those relating to the mission of Lord Wodehouse to Berlin and Copen hagen. In a despatch, dated the Bth of March, Earl Russell sends Lord Wodehouse the following in structions " It is not my purpose either to point out how these engagements have been observed or to affirm that any of them have been violated. It will be for the ministers of Austria and Prussia to make their complaints on this head. It is the desire of her Majesty's Government to see these questions sub mitted to a calm examination by the non German Powers. "You will accordingly communicate the views of her Majesty's Government to the Ministers of France, Russia, and Sweden, and you will endea. your to make your joint representations to the Danish Government conformable in substance, if not identic in terms. " The result to be arrived at is the fulfilment of the treaty of May 8, 1852, and of the engagements entered into by Austria, Prussia, and Denmark in 1851-52. The mode of arriving at that result can not be laid down. Patience and impartiality on the part of the great Powers will conduce greatly to that end, and will contribute in the same propor tion to the maintenance of the peace of Europe." In a despatch, dated December 1, 1863, Lord Wodehouse gives an account of an interview he had with Herr Von Bismarck. After alluding to some minor points, he narrates the following conversa tion : " M. de Bismarck said that the demands of Ger. many were the same as they had always been — namely, that Denmark should fulfil her engagement not to incorporate Schleswig with the kingdom and to grant a common constitution in which Holstein, Schleswig, and Lauenburg should enjoy equal rights with the kingdom. I replied that her Majesty's Government were persuaded that it was hope:ess to enter into a discussion as to the common constitution. The last eleven years had been passed in fruitless attempts to reconcile the German with the Danish views of what constituted equal rights. Was it probable that the Danes would ever submit to give the inhabitants of the Duchies, who were a minority, the same number of members in a common parliament as the Danes, who were the majority ? Would such an arrangement be consistent with fairness or justice? M. de Bismarck said that the Danes would not have a fair equality of members with the Germans, because there were a larger number of Danes in Schleswig, who would no doubt return Danish members. His excellency developed at much length his views as to the common consti tution, but I cannot say I heard from him anything which has not been repeated over and over again in these interminable discussions. I still pressed him to state some other alternative, but he said this was for the Danes, and . not the Germans, to propose. " I then asked him what the German Powers re quired as to the constitution recently signed by the King of Denmark. Upon this point he said there could be no compromise. The constitution must be declared before January 1 to be inapplicable to Schleswig, otherwise the German Powers would hold themselves released from all their engagements to Denmark, including the treaty of 1852. They could not be satisfied with the mere postponement for the present of the meeting of the new Rigsraad. " I said that I supposed that he would be satisfied if the King issued a declaration that the constitution could not be carried into effect as regards Schleswig. It might be necessary, if the question was not con cluded by the existing Rigsraad, which expired at the end of the year, to call together the new Rigs raad, by which alone the law could then be altered. "His excellency said, provided Schleswig was exempted from the oreration of the law by some act done by the King before January 1, when the new constitution came into force, he did not care by what assembly the law was ultimately abrogated. How ever, it would, he was convinced, be necessary for the King of Denmark to dismiss his present minis ters ; a coup d'etat would be the best solution of the difficulty. The fact was that Germany would never be on good terms with Denmark as long as the present democratic institutions of Denmark were maintained. " I said I regretted to hear this language, which amounted to a declaration that the German Go vernments were really about to interfere to change the domestic institutions of an independent mo narchy, and I pointed out strongly to M. de Bis marck the danger which the German governments ran of exciting revolution at home by lending them selves to the designs of the Schleswig-Holstein party. Nothing, I said, could justify the conduct of the Prince of Augustenburg. "1 concluded the conversation, which was con• ducted with the utmost courtesy by M. de Bismarck, by requesting that he would give me a memorandum of the demands of the German powers. M. de Bis marck readily consented to this, and a memorandum was accordingly drawn up (of which I enclose a copy), and which it was agreed, if approved by the King and the Austrian Minister, should be initialled by M. de Bismaick, Count Karolyi, and her Ma jesty's ambassador. , "The following is the memorandum : "The Austrian and Prussian governments require that the Danish government shall carry out the engagements entered into by Denmark in 1851.52; so that, apart from the Federal ties which concern only Holstein, Schleswig shall not be more closely connected with the kingdom of Denmark than Hol- stein, " They therefore consider that the Constitution of Nov. 18, 1863, is a violation of the engagements of Denmark, and they require that measures shall be taken, before January 1, by the Danish government to prevent that constitution from being carried into effect as regards Schles wig. " When such measures shall have been taken, they expect to receive from Denmark propositions as to the manner in which the engagements of 1851.52 are to ba CRIMINAL COURT,—(This Day, OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) vORGING TRADE MARKS. This case, in which a person named Howlett, was in dicted, under a recent statute, passed in 1862, of forging trade marks. This case was postponed until next session. John Langworth, aged 38, a respectable-looking man, pleaded guilty to robbing his employer, Mr. John Thomas Johnson, a wholesale stationer, of Cheapside, of various sums of money and 37,000 envelopes. The Recorder sentenced him to five years' penal servitude. Michael Mahoney, 23, a soldier, pleaded guilty to steal ing a coat and other articles, the property of Andrew Knox, his master, and was sentenced to six years' penal servitude. E. Sutton, packer, and W. Weatherell, carman, were indicted, Sutton for stealing, and 'Weatherell receiving, 561 b of copper nails, the property of Messrs. Mumford and Co. Sutton pleaded guilty, and the jury found the other pri soners guilty. The Recorder sentenced Sutton to 12 months and Weatherell to 9 months' icor risonment. The case of John Ogden, a soldier in the Royal Artillery, charged with absconding with Rebecca Cox, the wife of the prosecutor, was postponed until next sessions. Louis Kean, aged 18, a foreigner, described as a shopman, was found guilty of feloniously uttering a forged request for the delivery of a quantity of black silk taffeta, and sen tenced to nine months imprisonment with hard labour. Charles Wiseman, a German, pleaded guilty to stealing a large quantity of furniture, the property of a police• con stable, with whose wife he had absconded,—Sentence deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. LTREET OUTRAGE ON A FEMALE.—William Jefferson, cabinetmaker, of 41, Bloomsbury, and George Hulberte, and Alfred Hall, printers, of 5, Golden-place; Golden square, were charged before Mr. Ty rwhitt with disorderly conduct in Glasshouse-street, Regent-street; Hall was further charged with assaulting Mr. Edward Lucas, of 26, King-street, Regent-street, and Hulberte with assaulting a young female named Rosina Perry, living in Oxford terrace, Chelsea. Morris Robinson, 163 C, said that about a quarter past one this morning he saw Jefferson and Hulberte fighting together in Glasshouse-street, both of them being on the ground, and he then, as there was a great crowd round them and a good deal of disorder, took them into custody, After getting to the station a young woman charged Hu' berte with assaulting her. Rosina Perry said that while passing Hulberte in Glass house-street, having a female in her company, Hulberte made use of a disgusting expression, and on her asking him why he did so, he struck her on the cheek, and then gave her a severe blow on the nose, smothering her with blood. She was insensible for a moment from the blow, and after wards went to the station, where she heard Hulberte had been taken, and made the charge against him, In answer to Hulberte, The young woman said that she had not given him the slightest provocation whatever. Mr. Edward Lucas said that while on his way home through Glasshouse-street, he heard a female crying mur der and police, and this attracted his attention to the com plainant and the defendants, and he saw Ilulberte strike the young woman and cause her to stagger. He heard Jefferson say to Hulberte that "it was unmanly to strike a female like that," and then Hulberte and Jefferson got fighting and went down, and before Jefferson could get on his legs again Hulberte knocked him down again. The police then came up and took Hulberte and Jefferson into custody, and while they were doing so Hall walked up to him and struck him (Mr. Lucas) in the face, and the con stable having seen him do it at once took him into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mr. Lucas said he had given Hall no provocation, without he was offended at his saying " Dont kick the man when he is down," Hall being in Hulberte's company, and assisting him while the fighting was going on. A constable proved seeing Hall strike Mr. Lucas, and the female who was in company with Perry corroborated his statement. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was claar that Jefferson was an in jured person, and he should at once dischar„ - ze him. Hulberte entered into a long defence, the effete of it being only to make the case clearer against him than before. lie admitted that he struck Jefferson, but not till after he was struck by him, and wished everybody to know that his motto was "Nemo me impune lacessit." Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Hulberte £3 for the assault on the female and Hall, and £1 for assaulting Mr. Lucas. THAMES. DRUNKENNESS AND FELONY.—John Fitzgerald, a man of respectable exterior, aged 33 years, of No. 3, Western Cottages, Millwall, Poplar, was brought before Mr, Paget, charged with stealing a chimney-glass with a mahogany frame and gilt ornaments, valued at lls. 6d., the property of Mr. William Natl3.3n, pawnbroker, jeweller, and sales man, of No. 9, Waterloo-terrace, Commercial-road. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, defended the prisoner. Mr. John Day, assistant to the prosecutor, stated that yesterday evening he saw the prisoner drag a looking-glass, now produced, from the doorway. He looked at the pri soner, who quickly left the glass. A. few seconds after wards he looked again, and the glass was gone. He ran out of the shop, and saw the prisoner crossing the road with the glass on his shoulder. Ho seized the prisoner and gave him into custody. Mr. Stoddard—Was the prisoner drunk? Witness—He was drunk, sir, Michael Hughes, 251 K, who took the prisoner into cus tody, on cross-examination by the solicitor, said the prisoner was very drunk, and stated to him that he was at work at Mares factory, Mr. Stoddard said the prisoner was a very respectable working man, an engineer, who had been employed at the Alillwall iron work at 335. per week for eight or ten years, and was out with his shopmates yesterday on the spree and became intoxicated. The prisoner was unconscious of having committed any felony, and was very sorry for what he had done. The prisoner had never been in custody before and had hitherto maintained an irreproachable character. He hoped the magistrate would, under the circumstances, deal leniently with the prisoner. Mr. Paget said drunkenness was no excuse for crime, and the case must go for trial. Mr. Stoddart hoped the magistrate would dispose of the case summarily. Mr. Paget—No. The case mush go before a jury—that is the proper tribunal. It is quite clear the prisoner took the &ass. Mr. Stoddart—Yes, sir ; but it was a drunken spree. He was so very much intoxicated that he cast up his accounts —(loud laughter)—to use a vulgar phrase. Mr. Paget—What do yo mean ? Mr. Stoddart—He was very sick and vomited—he had been drinking a good deal of liquor and was ill from the effects of it. Mr. Paget—This is a question for a jury, not for me. The prisoner-•I was very drunk. I know nothing about it. Mr. Paget—You are committed to take your trial at the sessions.

An important and interesting statistical return, showing the trade of the port of Swansea for the year 1863, as compared with that of 1862, has just been issued by the trustees of the harbour. These returns are divisible into three general heads-viz.) vessels windbound and arriving in ballast; secondly, the general imports ; and thirdly, the general ex ports of the port. Under the first general head we find that the number of windbouad vessels which entered the port last year was 72, with a registered tonnage of 6,176, as against 97 vessels, of 8,304 tons the previous year. The vessels arriving in ballast last year were 2,261, of a register tonnage of 302,765, while for the year 1862, 2,611 ships,of 331,221 tons, arrived, thus showing a falling (If during the past year of nearly 30,000 tons as compared with that of 1862. The falling cff in vessels entering the port in ballast is attributable to the very high rates charged as compared with Cardiff. Oa the first day of the present year, however, a very large re ductio❑ of ballast rates came into operation, which has already made a very material difference in the trade of the port in this department, and will pro bably induce a still larger number of vessels to come to the port in ballast to load with coal, iron, and other staple production of the district. Under the second heading that of imports-there has been a large increase, with the exception of copper, copper ores and regulus, silver ores, &c. The total imports for the past year were 405,300 tons, and for the year 1862 369,700, being an increase in favour of 1863 of 35,600 tons. Of the total quan tity of goods imported, copper and copper ore, and regulus, silver, ores, &c., amounted to no leis than 187,000 tons, the total quantity of timber amounted to 36,000 tons, against 20,400 tons during 1862 ; flour, grains, potatoes, &c., 19,300 tons, as against 13,100 tons in 1862; sundries, 126,800 tons in 1863, and 132,600 tons in 1862. Of the imports, there were 285,000 tons imported coastwise during the year 1863, as against 273,800 in 1862 ; from the European States 44,500 tons in 1863, as against 72,400 in 1862. Under the third general head that of exports-we find that total quantity of coal and patent fuel exported in the year 1863 amounted to 783,000 tons, against 817,000 tons in 1862 ; cop per, copper ores, regulus, silver and zinc ores, 47,000 tons, against 29,300 tons in 1862 ; tin plates 15,900 tons in 1863, as against 12,200 tons in 1862 ; sundries, 47,800 tons in 1863 against 43,900 in 1862-the total exports in 1863 being 905,700, and in 1862 914,000, being a decrease upon the past year of 1,300 tons ; but as the decrease in the export of coal and patent fuel was no less than 33,300 tons, there was an increase in the general trade of the port of no less than 25,000 as com pared with 1862. Of the exports we find that there were 362,900 tons sent coastwise, 407,300 to European ports; and 135,500 tons to !oreign ports during the year 1863.1 Volcanic Islands. Since the 28th of June, 1831, an island, succes sively graced with the names of Ferdinand, Graham, Hotham, Nerita, and Julia, has several times ap peared and disappeared off Palermo, and is now on the point of getting above water again. There is no doubt that this curious phenomenon is attribut able to volcanic agency ; nor is this the only instance of the kind on record. In the neighbourhood of the Philippine Islands, and on other points of the Chinese waters, small islands occasionally rise and make their exit again without attracting much no tice. Of this the Patrieyelates the following curious instance :—" A German skipper, Capt. Hilmacher, who had passed many years of his life in those parts, and knew every shoal and sandbank within 100 miles of the Chiuese coast, suddenly, about 20 years ago, discovered an island which he was per fectly certain did not exist on that spot before. He took his soundings, determined the latitude and lon gitude, sailed round it, and found that it was from 12 to 13 miles in length and breadth. There were several springs of fresh water in it and it consisted of the richest pasture-ground' imaginable. Captain Hilmacher instantly re turned to Europe, recruited a number of German emigrants, bought all kinds of seeds, agricultural implements, poultry, and cattle, set out again for this new El Dorado, and in a couple of years there might be seen on the desert island a flow ishing village, fields waving with corn, meadows peopled with oxen, goats, and sheep, everything in short that might constitute a thriving colony. This happy state of things lasted about five years,when a British merchant vessel unexpectedly made its appearance. The captain and crew expressed their astonishment at finding a European community in such an out of-the-way place, entered into amicable intercourse with the colonists, and gave them a quantity of brandy in exchange for their produce. This unfor tunate circumstance proved the ruin of the colony ; drunkenness grew into a habit, insubordination was the consequence, and oae fine day poor Capt. Hill macher, who had hitherto ruled his little kingdom with great wisdom, was obliged to make his escape in a boat to avoid being mnrdered. He succeeded in reaching a vessel, which took him home again. There he easily obtained the command of a ship, which he took care to provide with plenty of arms, for the purpose of punishing his unruly subjects and make them repent of their ingratitude. He set sail, but on arriving within the latitude where his island had once existed he was astonished to find the place emp•yr ; not a vestige of land was to be seen ; the island had gone as it had come. Had the catas trophe occurred so suddenly as to preclude all pos sibility of escape This is what Capt. Hilltne.cher never learnt."—Ga/igna ni. POISONING BY ABSORPTION., —On Saturday Mr, B. L, Gross, one of the coroners for Suffolk, con. eluded an inquiry into the death of a child named Boatman, the daughter of a small farmer at Wissett, near Halesworth. The case presenting remarkable features, the coroner ap plied to the Home Secretary to enable Professor Taylor to make a more than ordinarily careful and costly analysis. The eircumesfances are briefly as follows :—The deceased was aged nine ;Tens, and lived with her father and stepmother at a small farm house in a lonely situation. The child was taken ill, gradually got worse, and died soon after a medical man was called in. The surgeon (Mr. Howard), feeling sa tisfied the child died om poison, refused to certify the cause of death. An inquest v0.:15 accordingly held, and when the jury viewed the body the ae.:lp of the head was found to be in a shocking state from ringwcel29 and covered with vermin. The stepmother said that about tea, days before the death of powder and a little the child she applied some p reci p itar,' head to kill the poison in the shape of an ointm ent to th,' examinatio at: n, vermin. The coroner ordered a po st-morteb2 and the appearance of the intes tines and stoma, p to arsenical poison in some form or o ther, it was felt im;)orointingtant to ascertain whether the child died from arsenical poisonpand if so, how it was administered. The viscera were according sent to Professor Taylor, at Guy's Hospital, and that gentle man stated at the inquest on Saturday that the child died from arsenic applied externally and absorbed into tho system. The condition of the viscera, in their appearances, in the nature of their contents, and in the minute imponderable quantity of arsenic present in them, was not consistent with the supposition that arsenic had been given in a solid form or in a liquid form by the mouth, but it was quite consistent with the absorption of the poison through the skin of the scalp and its subsequent diffusion by the blood. The scalp of the deceased was found to contz.kin a large quantity of arsenic associated with a quantity of mercury (white pro. cipitate) which had been applied a s above stated in the m of an ointment. The jury re turned a verdict to the effect that the deceased died from the results of an ()inanent con taining arsenic applied to her head by Mrs. Boatman, she being ignorant of the conseq uences, and i ntending merely to heal diseaso of the sca l p; at the same time the jury de sired the coroner to express to Boatman and his wife their sense:of the neglect and ill• treatment of the deceased.
