The formation of a Direct 'Main-Trunk Railway, for the im. Portent purpose of connecting the north of England and Scotland, by York and Lincoln, with the metropolis, has been decided upon, alter Mahn* investigation and conviction of the public advantages well a line of communication. The line will comMencemear King's.cross, in the New-road, the UAW central situation in the metropolis, both as regards the West_ sod and the City ; it proceeds by CW.pping Barnet, Biggleswade, • M. Neots,.Huritingdo'n, near Peterbotough and Market Deeping by ' Irdiagordi to the westof Bourn, east of Gtanthara, west of Sleaford, • WV east of Newark, to „Lincoln, and thence by Gainsborough, Snaith, and Selby, to York. The distance by it between Landon and York will be 180 miles. will be about 20 miles shorter than by any other proposed line. t will reduce by 39 miles the present distance between- London . • and York, and will consequently by the same distance bring New coatis and Edinburgh nearer to the metropolis, while the distance akvest, between London and Hull will be no less than 43 miles. ft will term the nearest route to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Halifax, tadford, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield ; thus • • aosimanding the traffic of the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, es well as the traffic from the north of England, Scotland, Lincoln shire, and the Other agricultural districts through which it passes. Taking its course -through a highly productive country, it em- IliCes' all the market towns of importance, and connects all Lin. Wilshire with the manufacturing districts and the metropolis. • It'opens . an. easy communication between Norfolk and Suffolk, • and the West and North of. England. The line, as will hi Seen by the map, does not interfere with the ; drainage of the fed country, whilst it embraces the most important aaarketsand towns of that district. ' The inclinations are extremely favourable, and are obtainedat a ' • Moder a t e ex p ense , th e re not being any engineering work of great • • 'magnitude on the line. The guage will be the same as the exist. Ina lines through the pranufacturing districts, and all loss of time In travelling will be avoided, as the line will be an integral trunk ISio tinder one manageinerit. The expense of construction being moderate, and the distance so • such reduced, the fares will be proportionately less, and an ample • Profit is sufficiently shown by the annexed abstract of the traffic ,tablei, which are the result of a most rigid investigation, and are Prepared as evidence for Parliament. The capitalpropased to be raised, namely, 4,000,0001., is a sum saceeding the engineers' estimate. It has, however, been thought - advisable to allow an ample margin for any increase of prices above Those of the present time. . • ' The surveys were ,Commenced in October last, and in March hilt, the Direct Northern Line, and its advantages (together with bumf" other trial lines, and their disadvantages), were cars fully brought to-the consideration of many gentlemen well qualified to ' fortnin opinion on such matters, and finally. the:prospectus, accotn : P led by a map on su ffi cient scale, was published on the 4th of , am tt • ' 1844. This prospectus and map show the London terminus at xl wes. i ri ,„ . ' • At . this date there was not before the public any other project tor a direct line of railway from London to York ; but when more Ilan a month had elapsed from the time of the publication of the Prospectus and. Map of the Direct Northern Railway, the Cam. .. ge and , York via' Lincoln Railway Company (who had up to that time adhered to an indirect line by Cambridge to York) : ch anged their title to that of the London and York Railway Com "andtheiestated capital, which previously had -varied from 00 000 t to 1,608,000/., was then, for the first time, named at 4 . 00 0,000/. In their new prospectus the London and •York Com •Pant' also adopted King's.cross for their London terminus. Of the. sense entertained of ,these-encroachments by the pro. `',asiltieia t f•the Dirket **Sillier - It Railway, the York and London "aro, paay vete duty apprised by a circular addressed to each mem : '7 l : of their Comraittee on the 18th of May last, and signed by the ' lisoretary, Major Amsinck. A map of the London and York Railway was, however, pub. , • fished • m the latter part of August last, which, to the surprise of ''the promoters of the Direct Northern Line, showed an attempt to ' ' '.!PPropriate upwards of 70 miles from London of the published line ~0 f the Direct Northern Railway. \ Still the project of the London and York Railway Company falls "..very far short of a direct line from London to the north, as wig be . seen from the following data : • s • From London to Yclrk the distance by the present lines of rail. wells 219 miles; by the proposed London and York line, stated Abe 200 nuke; by the proposed Direct Northern Railway, 180 " _During the progress of this undertaking, a very large proportion 6 1 the landowners on the line have been communicated with, and ft nsulted in reference to It, and the full concurrence of that itn- P° ll .ant interest is, with very few exceptions, confidently relied on. rhiblic: attention having .been lately drawn to the atmospheric lt inciple, the Committee wish to observe that they are in a con 41tion to take advantage of - that principle, should it eventually be "'Orb to be for the beriefit'of the undertaking. The sections of the country through which the line passes from L ondon to York can be seen at the offices of-the Company, 64, l oorgate-street. Every explanation, also, will be afforded with Nrard to the traffic and other matters. The Parliamentary plans, &c., are in course of preparation, and a pplication will be made for an Act of Incorporation in the ensuing session of Parliament. The deposit of 5 per cent., or 21. 10s.' per share, is necessary to meet the requirement of the Parliamentary standing orders, but the kelindnary expenses will in no event exceed 10s. per share. Internt a t the rate of 4/. yer cent per annum will be allowed on 5 11 calls snide after tie passing of the Act till the opening of the railway. The subscribers' agreement and Parliamentary contract will be reedy for signature on the payment of the deposit. A large proportion of the shares having been already applied for, tapplication for shares can be received after the 6th of October t. up to which period they may be addressed to the Secretary, at 14 "41ces of the Company, 64.

The Anti-Jacobin once ventured to express an opiniOn that "it was unlikely England should ever become a small island in the Pacific Ocean." What appeared recently: ot quite - SO unlikely was, that England and .Franee might have gone to loggerheads about "a small island in. the Pacific Ocean.' There is a story told about= two imperceptible islets somewhere in the Firth of. Clyde, which, it seems, rejoice in th e d es ig na ti on o f " the Greater and Les s er butnrays." The minister of the little flock therein- 7 -putting up special prayers for their welfare, according to the manner of the Scottish Church—delivered himself as follows O.

We cannot guess why all men are dispoSed to jibe So 'it little islands, from the Cannibal Islands to the Channel Islands. It is certain that these (latter) ,have: . the best of it. They have thriven in the cool shade of contempt. Nobody has thought them worth evil handling. We except, of course, such " eccentric" personages as M. Dupetit Thouars and Sir James Graham ; the former of whom celebrated so inglorious a triumph over fit Queen Pomare, and the latter would doubtless have triumphed ov e r rebellion in Guernsey —had =his -warlike expedition to that powerful de pendengy found there the rebellion they were sent to crush. These are amongst the evidences of the growing importance of little islands to great statesmen. Another is afforded by the gracious attention bestowed recently on the Isle of Man. That slighted dependency was regarded no more than, like Moab, till lately—as a wash-pot. "'Talk of a rebellion in the Isle of Man-- tell me of a storm in a slop-basin." We now, how ever perceive the rationale of no-rebelli on i n th e . I s l e of Man. There his been no fist to rebel against —no Cus tom-house myrmidons to do battle with "fair traders:" There hate been the same good reasons`for no rebellion in • the Isle of Man as there have been in Guernsey. as the :Home Secretary might haVe known before hand, if he had known what rebellions are made. of.

Some accidents have, in consequence, occurred to the steam-boats on the river, which occasioned much annoy ance and considerable alarm among the passengers. One of the boats belonging to the Diamond ctimpany, the Gem, was run into on Wednesday morning, by the Waterman, No. 4. Her larboard paddle-bnx was carried away, and the wheel so damaged that she was unable to proceed on her voyage. There were nearly 300 persons on board, and it was most providential that no one chanced to be in the cabins or closets attached to the paddle-box at the moment of the accident.-was obliged to bring up alongside th e T e nd er , o ff th e The vessel Tower, where she remained until th e next b oat belong ing to the same company, the Ruby, came up, which took on her passengers. At the time of this occurrence the Gem was going down at the rate of about five knots an hour, the Waterman, in the opinion of a naut i ca l . gentle man in the former boat, coming up at full speed, or most certainly at a rate unsafe, considering the state of the atmosphere. The Ruby had scarcely proceeded a mile and a half, when she met the Topaz, another vessel be"- longing to the same company, which hik - si.ffered from a precisely similar accident. She had also' lost her lar board paddle-box, but her wheel not , hiving suffered much damage she was able to reach her destination. She afterwards returned to Gravesend, and came back with out any repairs having been effected, to the great alarm and indignation of many of the passengers, who,. as the captain was careful to keep the larboard side this vessel off the shore, knew nothing of her condition . until they were booked on board. quest charges is Englan'd on export, and the har bour dues here, make fully five per cent. on theie golds,"ind . it is clear that to this extent there is a gain to the consumer on wearing apparel, &c. &c." .The 'Manx Committee conclude with the following appeal to their labouring population FellOw- Countrymen I. your weekly earnings will now pro cure for your families a larger supply of the neces saries and comforts of life than they formerly did, and consequently your wages are increased in value. Let all calculate what they save by the change, and give accordingly. Let the tribute of gratitude be commensurate with the boon." STANDARD.—A letter from Mr: Tyrrell, the solicitor. of .Mr. Alderman Gibbs, has been published by his committee, which, we are glad to find, con firms the • ..:opinion we expressed in yesterday's Standard, of , the groundlessness of the insinuations of which bp has been the victim in regard to, his accounts ai churchwarden of St. Stephen's, Walbrook. As we anticipated, the inquiry now before the Master haS . substantially established the accuracy Of these accounts; and the honesty (equally im peached) of the four gentlemen by whom they were originally audited; and- but for the obstacles vvhichbaveheen interposed to the progress •of the inquiry by , : the plaintiffs themselves, there is no, manner of. doubt that the report might have been completed _in time for _production at the meeting of the Livery, fixed for this day. The prospect, however, amounting to certainty, that this investigation would completely exculpate the Alderman from the imputations of his accusers has driven them half frantic with mortification. veyors' reports of the necessary repairs, by the parish of St: Stephen's, they had been rejected by the, churehwardens and vestry of St. Benet's; for although the two parishes were united by the Fire :Act, they have had distinct churchwardens and dis tinct vestries. Ile might, we are told, have made a rate ; but although he was largely in advance to the parish, he does not appear to have done so — reason ..sufficient, according to the Times, for . his rejection by the Livery ! Driven from charge to charge; convicted of having falsely asserted - that the Alderman had already been rejected:' by that body; and suppressing its knowledge of the favourable , -progress of the suit (namely, that all the payments made by the churchwarden personally hid been declared to be correct, and that those .which remained to be examined were such only as .were disbursed by his subordinate officers), our Con temp-irary does not scruple to suggest to the Livery that as he is now in Chancery," " they should at any rate wait until he is cleared !" Nay it ever. Allows the man, whose disgrace and discomfiture are inseparable from the justification of his victim, to publish along and scurrilous letter in its columns in which, among other misrepresentations, he is disingenuous enough to assert that the " accounts are now before the Master, and, as,yet,. unexamined !" The conduct of the Times in this matter, and its disre gard of that decent courtesy, from the practice of which ,the conductors of the public. press have not hitherto considered themselvos, exempted, can surprise none of' its , later{ readers, 'and, us last of all. We give it joy, th ere f ore , o f so congenial a fel _low-labourer as Mr—Rock, assured as We ate that When its ordinary store of Billingsgate shall become exhausted (a.,rery remote contingency) there is one inhabitant, at least, of the parish of Walbrook with whom it may advantageously contract fur a fresh supply. From Mr.Tyrrell's letter it appears that the credit side of the account has been disposed of, and that for the debit side, " all the vouchers have been pro duced and allowed, excepti ng f o r a f ew items which- do , not effect the general balance of the printed-acc.ounts," and which have also been pro duced: byte plaintiff's .solicitor. But for the WINDSOR,: FRIDAY.—The first puouc 'meet this season of- his Royal Highness Prince Albert's pack of hurlers took place- this morning, at Salt Mk` A goodly number mustered on the " opening clay," aniongst whom were Major-General Wemyss and his son. Captain Sey mour, Charles Seymour, Esq., Sir John 13arker,,.Edward Jesse, Fsq., and about 26 gentlemen and f ur th ers o f t h e neighbourhood. The pack now consists of 28 couples, in beautiful condition. I- unaccountable delay which has arisen, and which by _Mr. Rock's guarded admission in a letter which he has published in this day's Times, appears to have 'been occasioned by his "directions to his solicitor to do nothing out of court, but let the cause take its natural course" (we all know what this means), ,the report:of the Master might by this time have heen in the hands of every member of the livery As it is; Tyrrell informs us i that if the plaintiff puts hitn ''to the foinial "service of the accounts," which he , promises to do, the inquiry may not be completeduntil Tuesday week. Meanwhile, it is hoped that the calumnies, of which Mr. :Alder man Gibbs has been the object, will have served their turn. After heaping upon him the most virulent abuse, and insinuating that he had fraudulently misapplied the funds of his fellow- . citizens committed to his keeping, the Times andits correspondents, having learned that the vaunted Chancery suit was not progressing as they had anti cipated, they are fain to moderate their rancour, and admit that the disputed accounts may possibly turn out to be correct! that is to say, that the brutal clamour by which they have endeavoured to bear down Mr. Gibbs may prove wholly unfounded. "We have no wish (says the Times of to-day) to assume any, the slightest matter against the Aldernian without proof." But although our `Contemporary Must have been aware that the Master in Chancery had already virtually es tablished the correctness of the accounts, and would, but for the vexatious opposition of the plaintiff, have completed,Jiis report—it has the shab biness, the pettifogging meanness, to call uPon the Livery to regard the issue of the question as doubtful, and protect themselves against the possible contin gency of the Alderman's failure; as well as to return to the oft-repeated and explained facts that he had re fused to submit his accounts to Messrs. Rock, Flight, Howett, and,Co.; and that although churchwarden-for 20 years (that is to say, elected to that office nineteen times in succession by his fellow-parishioners!) of the " conjoined parishes of St. Stephen's and St. Benet's Sherehog " he had suffered the church to fall into a state of serious dilapidation. The Times' Was of course aware that Mr. Aldeiman Gibbs never .THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE AT INVERARY: . His Il.ciyal• Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived* Inverary-Castle, on Monday afternoon, ac- . eompanied by th e H ere di tary G rand Duke of deck , lenbUrgli Stielitz, and Baron Knesebeck, preceded by two of the Duke of Argyle's outriders, and escorted by one hundred of his Grace's Highlanders, dressed - in the Highland chief's uniform. On the arrival of his Royal Highness at the Castle, a royal salute was fired froth - Donaquaieh, which was answered by her Majesty's cutter Shearwater, lying in Lichfine bay, and also from a 40-pounder on the Castle grounds. Immediately after, the Duntroon Castle steamer arrived with a great number of pas- Sengers from Glasgow and the intermediate stations ; and the tovitn'oflnverary, which is but small, was so much creWdect4hat it was with great difficulty and much ineonirenienee lodgings could be procured. His itOYal Ilighneas' the Duke of Cambridge intends to Aend some days with the Duke and D uc h ess o f rgyle; and after the rejoicings and festivities.. on ,t-fie occasion of the arrival of the Marquis of Lorn and his lovely bride at the Castle, -he will proceed to the neighbouring_ hills to enjoy shooting and deer-stalk . ing---game : _being very plentiful at present on - . his Grace's estate. Earlynn Tuesday morning the Duke of Cornwall steainer arrived with 150 of the Duke of Argyle's yeomanry, from Kintyre, dressed in black coats, white trousers and vests, and shortly after her the Cardiff Castle arrived with 220 of W. F. Campbell, Esq., of Islay's men, commanded by . John F. Campbell, Esq., younger of Islay, and Duncan Campbell, Esq., Of Kilchonnan, all good-looking men, and splendidly dressed in -the Clan Campbell's tartan. ' The effect which this body had upon the spectators—between the glittering'-of their Lochaber axes and the contiipal firing which the steamer kept up since she came` in Sight of Inverary Castle, till she came into the harbour, was most thrilling. After landing they were marched up to the Castle, where they were 'met by. Nay him -self, who seemed to be well pleased with their appear ance. This fine body of men had takerr. their place opposite the grand entrance—the Ritehess and the la dies in the Castle.came out to the , lawn, accompanied . by the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Argyle, and the Duke of Mecklenbur g h Strelitz. The Duke of Cambridge walked along the line, bowing gracefully to the chieftains, and the whole corps, as the Islay men doffed their bonnets to his 41toyal .Highness. Shortly after ten o'clock, the Islaymen were marched back to Inverary, where they were regaled by bread and beef, and a glass or two of their own moun tain dew. About one o'clock the Kintyre yeomanry, com manded by Mr. Stewart, of Glenbuckie, proceeded to Glen Shim, where they were to meet the Marquis and Marehioness of Lorn, and about an hour after them the Islaymen were marched by . a different route to a remote part of the road, between Cairndow and the Castle, where they were to welcome the young chief and his lovely . hride ; after which they wer e t o escort themto the ducal residence. About five o'clock p.m. - the report of a gun from the Shearwater cutter, informed those in waiting at the Castle, that the cavalcade were approaching, and, in a few minutes thereafter, they were observed rounding the point opposite Inverary at a rapid pace ; a few minutes longer, and the welcome huzzas and cheering of the Islaymen, although a considerable distance from the Castle, were heard as the party came in view. They then moved _slowly along, the pipersplaying the "CatriPbellS are corning'" In case of any accident occurring, the spectators were strictly charged not to cheer the party until the Mar quis and Marchioness alighted from the carriage, which was strictly observed. After they alighted they were vehemently cheered; which they walked round the ranks bowing gracefully to the chieftains and their followers, and giving all an op portunity of seeing them. The of Cambridge and Mecklenburgh fitrelitz, Duke and Duchess of Argyle, and Lady. Emma Campbell were in waiting to receive the happy couple. - The forty children belonging to the - eharity : school supported by the Duchess of Argyle, and which is entirely under her Grace's .eharge, were-in the lobby to receive the Marquis and Marchioness of Lorn. They were dressed in white muslin frocks; velvet bonnets trimmed with the Campbell tartan, tartan scarfs of. the same clan, and had white satin rosettes on the left shoulder. When the Marchioness entered the lobby of the Castle, the Children sting: the 64th paraphrase. Immediately thereafter, they proceeded with Lady Lorn to her room, strewing the stairs and pathways with bout:lids of flowers. . A grand triumphal arch was erected over the north gate entrance to the Castle, which was beautifully illuminated in the evening with Variegated lamps hung among the branches, and over the centre of the arch the &vice, " Failte mo, Cridhe," shone most conspicuously. Over the staircase entrance to the Castle was erected a beautiful and -chaste avenue of evergreens, and round about-it were also hung varie gated lamps in great profusion, and among the trees and shrubbery around the Castle, and along the walks, there were lamps blazing in all directions. The Castle windows were all illuminated, and the front of the Castle wall, over the evergreen avenue, was splendidly lighted up with elegant devices of lamps in every variety. _Bonfires were lighted on all the mountains in the vicinity, whiCh illumined the hills for miles around, and gave to the festive scene a I Splendour and . effect that -can hardly be described. The rejoicings are likely to be continued for several days during the week. A grand ball is to take place in the Castle on the 27th inst., to which a large num ber of the county gentlemen. are invited to attend. — Glasgow Chronicle.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY.—THE KNACKERS YARDS.— In the months of November and December, 1843, the public mind was awakened by the various exosures made by " the National Animals' Friend Society , " of the horrible cruelties in the above dens of infamy ; and we should have thought it would have awakened the owners of these charnel-houses to a just sense of the torture in flicted, by them on that noble animal, " the horse," but such iS not the case. Mr. May, with the officers of the Smiety, have continually kept a sharp eye on them, and have, Fluring_ the week, succeeded in entering several of the yards - ; and the reports are truly horrible, as the followingileolaration - will show :—I went into Parmen ter's horse-slaughtering yards, Belle Isle, Battle-bridge, in company with Childs. The yard was in a horrid condi tion—there were nineteen living horses pent up in the shed, and twenty-One dead horses lying about the yards, just as they had died ' • the man told us they had not killed a horse for the last fortnight, as more died daily and nightly than could be skinned. Those horses were in all imaginable positions, just as they had straggled in the last agonies of death.

Tnensakr.--The performances or this morning em braced the two first acts of the Creation, the. Epee of Praise by M.endelssohn, and a selection from ./srad is Egypt. Two of these works are so well!known, that criticism among ...their respective excellencies has Yong ceased to be necessary. ---I. 7 hey-have-taken their- station among those productions of genius that the Woilff agree to" hold in admiration.' The one is a display , of grace, and the other of grandeur ; for Israel in Eyypt unfolds in a higher degree than any other of his oratorios its author's essential characteristic. Chorus succeeds to chums, descriptive of Egypt's successive plagues, while Handel scarcely stoops to interrupt his majestic march by the interposition of a song. Haydn mingles the most graceful melodies, in all their varied forms 'and combinations, with the splendour of his choruses, and adds the rich charm of his diversified accompaniment to the whole. lie fascinates ; but Handel elevates 'the hearer's 'mind. Mt.ndelssohn's Aobegesang belongs rather to the modern than the old German school, and even those of his predecessors, , is frequently discernible. This work has been heard in London, and the judgment of our metropolitan critics has been pronounced upon it, The singers this Morning acquitted themselves with their accustomed ability, and the varied attractiom of the Morning- drew a very numerous audience to the Cathedral. : • The evening's concert comprised more pieces of sc. kneWledged and sterling excellence than either of the preceding ones. It commenced with the Sinfonia Pots torole of Beethoven, which probably was thought by matt o(,its auditors somewhat long ; at least so it ap peared. But Ike ought not to marvel that a country- au dicuoi fail to discern and appreciate' the design and the beauties of, a composition which, even' the Philharmonic band discovered and displayed only after repeated trials. Mida'ine Caradori Allan sang, and Williams accom panied, Part°, ma to ben ratio admirably ; and. Manvcrs displayed power, execution, and goed taste in 11 mio teSoro. &pretty duet by Gabussi exhibited the neat execution and -happy combination of voices which the Misses Williams have attained. Miss Barrett's '" Should h e upbraid"_ was very successful, perhaps itot • the lesi so that she is a native of Gloucester. . The concert (the last of the present festival) conc l u d e d with " God save the Queen.', The room was well at tended, and it is hoped that the present seeeting will preve ' sufficiently successful to insure its continuance the usual interval.

Friday Mr: Baker, deputy, coroner for the easterii division of the county orMiddleeex, resumed and conclinied the inquiry touching tha death - of Jame Gregory, aged 27, whose death, it was alleged, had been oeca.siOned'hy the administration of some poiion by a youdx:maii, named Alfred Edw a rd s , now i n custo d y • on the Charge. -The inquest was- adjourned on Monday last for the purpose of the - contents of the bottle, as well as the fluid lound i in the storrinch.of.deceased upon the post morkm examination„ being analysed by pr. Leeson, of St. Thomas's Hospital. On the reassembling of the jury yesterday, Dr. Henry Beaumont Leeson was sworn.—He deposed that he is assistant physician and lecturer on chemistry and forensic medicine at St. Thomas's Hospital. Ile had examined the contents of the stomach, but found no poison therein. The stomach itself witness had boiled in distilled water, and then filtered. -Ile then added a solution of sulphurretted hydrogen gas. He again boiled ,it, and obtained a black precipitate, which by reduction with . the blowpipe and charcoal yielded a globule of metallic lead, which he produced to the court and jury. Witness thought that, if any prepa ration of lead had been swallowed, it must have been vomited out of the body, except that portion produced. The solution obtained from the stomach also indicated the presence of prussic acid, probably arising from bitter` almonds having been made use:_ of in flavouring the so-called brandy bitters. There was trace also of prussii acid in tliiinontents of the stomach. The liquid in the bottles Stibinitted to _ him by Mr. Smith, the surgeon, neither of them contained -sager of lead or any preparation oflead, but both contained-a very large pro portion of spirits , being above one-half absolute alcoho 1. They appeared to be coloured with saffron, and flavoure d very strongly with hitter almonds, as well as other wt., getable extracts; which rendered the application of che f mical tests almost impossible. The inference he drew from the examination was ,that he thotight it improbable that so large a Portion of: the lead, should have been found combined with, and adhering tO, the stomach itself , unlesS' a quantity : of . some preparation -of lead had bee. n swallowed, and could. only attribute the not being abf a to detect any satisfactory trace of lead in 'the stomach from its 'having been removed by vomiting or purging. If sugar of lead had been added to the liquid in the bot tle; there would have been no difficulty in detecting -it. If adrriinistered o it must have, been mixed in the cup at the time it was 'given to deceased, or given to deceased separately.- The appearance of the stomach was similar to that produced-by any. irritant poison. The brandy and bitters itself, containing so large a portion of alcohol and _the essential oil of almond_ being' . very deleterious - , would„ . if taken in sufficiently large :quantities, .produce serious illness, ;and even death. The presence of the lead 'detected in'the.stoina.ch appeared, lo bo,a most re, markable indication of poison having been purposely ad miniAtred.. . surgeon, who had made the post mortem examination of ~the body, re-examined—ln his opinion death was occa(tioried by inflammation of the stomach, caused by the introduction of . deadly poison. Four drachnis of sugar of' lead would' be sufficient to de stroy life. On the part of The accused, it was shown by the evi dence of three Witnesses that they bad drank a portion of brandy bitters, similar to that which had been given to the - deceasud, without its having any - injurious effects ; but one of them admitted that he and another had been very- ilj . subsequently, but attributed it to having drank an immoderate quantity. A sister of deceased accounted for the sugar of lead ing in her pcissession, by stating that she wanted to set the colour of x dress which she had been washing, and that the accused had procured it for her. The!Coroner . summed up the evidence in a clear: manner, commenting upon those parts which bore more immediately upon the question, and explained the law as applicable to the case. The jury retired at six o'clock, and after a consultation• of nearly three hours' duration, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Alfred Edwards."
