MEETING of the SOCIETY for the EM AN CIPATOY of INDUSTRY was held at Exeter Hall on JulY 1, ANDREW SPOTTISWOODE, Es Exeter in the Chair, whit the following resolutions were moved and carried ita liesolv ed,—Pirst—That this Society cannot refrain from expressing h tro lPrise and disappointment at the very unsatisfactory resolutions 2sth ", n ,,ecti by Lord John Russell in the House of Commons on the the 'May, for the professed purpose of ameliorating the condition workingal inmg evil for which his L or d s hip did not account, that , while thi s ol l • e l e'l are growing richer, the poor are growing poorer ,' ethig considers that no tre ss professions of sympathy for the dis satisk Skndition of the labouring classes can avail anything, or be coin r'r' to the country at large, so long as those classes are a Pe led to provide for a heavy taxation on articles of consumption 14.. ni nneY artificially made scarce—a regulation which confers an undo and unnatural advantage upon capital over industry. sett i cor id,--That it is the opinion of this Society that the state of l abs destitution and suffering under which it is acknowledged the Drod dst of th e I Th . i ng classes iu this kingdom are now so largely suffering, in superabundant wealth, and the inexhaustible means of to „ Ilein g that wealth, is not owing to any fault of their own, nor j ed a l l Y express dispensation of Providence, but is attributable to in nicioe„fta legislation, of which the most striking example is the per • "s currency law of 1819—a measure which Sir James Graham Third 4:, and emphatically denounced as a " delusion and a fraud." - -That the object of the currency law of 1819 and of the 4:_a_etary measures of 1844 and 1845 is to reduce the prices of pro 11„.f_ion to the level of gold prices, while the object of eorn protective laws, is to ices above the level ' t wg e °lda ' nind order to compensate for heavytaxation ; and thus the one Is th et _ i s inconsistent with, and ontradictory to, the other.—That . it to 8: i ntention of the in levying taxes on commodities, th a , c ,nre that those taxes should Legislature,be paid by the consumers generally fe rr ,„ a ' 4 ,e of Prices ; but the effect of the monetary measures before re- IS to prevent a rise of prices, and thus to defeat that fli inten eken hat by these means a grievous wrong is icted on the pro- o epo g.e -t lasses, the effects of which are observable i n n the wide-spread En g l a r 2 3 _,ln described by Sir James Graham as already amounting in Drew to full one-tenth of the population, and in the alarming de the _on of the prices of agricultural produce, in consequence of which ci en :j r n a ge e s of the labourer are reduced to their present low and insufti _ Fourth • tax ati , n ! — That this Society contends that the high scale of indirect 'flab,: i n this country demands a corresponding scale of prices both is i n , "r and of the produce of labour ; and that such scale of prices th e o sV l Patible with the present low fixed price of gold, which has th at sett not only of throwing upon the producers the burden of eieusiaxation which ought to be paid by the consumers, but of perpi it d e „ Y r estricting the circulating medium of the country, by making p i r t tntlent on the quantity of gold in the Bank of England. tirr e ,," ,--- That if gold were allowed to find its market price in the to th "q• of the country, like all other commodities, and in obedience rise law of supply and demand, prices in the home trade would %r e i gn ° t remunerating level, without affecting the prices of our reet oing l'aarket trade,. which are now, and always must be, regulated by the fro m ri _Pric . e of gold. That competition would prevent home prices i such a circulating medium beyond the level that n - hoe.taxation justified ; level below which it is as unjust to the pro the 6," it is dangerous to the public ereditor to reduce them.—That k uv erilrnent money (or Exchequer-bills) now issued for taxes in b e i ss l: and in amounts exclusively useful to the monied class, should ctie p on e d In amounts convenient for all classes—namely, in notes of , ith it ", t l cl and upwards; that these notes being necessarily confined Pre sent amount of annual taxation, would be founded on and re the 1 . that property which the Government annually draws from aati e i n Ple in taxes, and would form the legal-tender money of the 'yard - " T hat labour would then receive its fair and reasonable re frerii while the commerce and industry of the country would be freed[ore, rer,i th eir present unnecessary and injurious deper.dence upon . 41eXchang es . trin e ';: - : - That this Society views with horror the monstrous doe tootle., mbuted to Sir Robert Peel in the debate on Mr. V infers% cf tl ie ", ll Pon the 10th of June, that the increasing impoverishment beio„ ln ditsttious classes is without remedy; that "great wealth Civiii' s . °und side by side with great poverty" is " inseparable from 4 co un a f ti on, and that civilisation in itself increases the tendency in D, s erti e - , r3- towards them,"—a doctrine which would consign a large acti et .Of our countrymen to irremediable poverty.

Birch, Cannon-row, London The Act for the formation of the Wilts and Somerset Railway having passed the Legislature, the Directors of the present under taking propose to take up that line at Salisbury, and join it by a direct Railway communication of twenty-one miles on the broad gauge, with the important town and port of Southampton. The line has been carefully surveyed by experienced parties, and as it presents no engineering or other difficulties (the chief landowners being most favourably disposed towards it) the Directors have the fullest con fidence that the estimates for its construction, &c., will net be ex ceeded, while the statistics of traffic aro so abundant, both through and local, (a detailed statement of which may be seen at the office), as to leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that a most sa- tisfactory dividend will be realised, to arise from the large number of passengers that must embark and disembark at Southampton, to and from the East and West Indies, the Mediterranean, France, the Southern States of Europe, the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, &c., as well as the large supplies of iron, coal, slate, stone for building, flour, grain, and merchandise, constantly required to be transported to, and received at Southampton, either for use there, for exporta tion, or for the consumption in that part of the interior of the country traversed by the number of railways in connexion with, or springing from, the present line. . . The route of the proposed line will pass through commons and lands of little value ; it will proceed from the station of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, at Fisherton Anger, and proceed by or near to Downton, Plaitford, over Hampworth and East Willow Commons, by. Bramshaw to Redbridge, taking the line of the old Canal at Millbrook, and crossing the Mudlands to the Royal Pier, Southampton, contiguous to which, and on the present waste shore. it is proposed to erect a spacious Terminus, the cast of which is in cluded in the estimate. It is also proposed to place the Railway in communication with the Royal Pier and Town Quays, so that the convenience of loading and unloading on the line may be secured. A certain number of Shares will bo reserved for the Proprietors of the Wilts and Somerset Railway. Appleatons for Shares, according to the annexed form, may be addressed to the respective Solicitors, or to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No 26, Gresham-street ; or to the following Sharebrokers :—William Marshall, 5, Town Hall-buildings, Manches ter ; Schultz and Carr, 2, Exchange-buildings, Liverpool ; Read, Broadbent, and Co., Hirst and Brooke; Whalley and Thompson, and Geo.

Provisionally registered parsaant to 7 and 8 Vict. c. 1 10. This Railway will commence at the Rugby station of the London and Birmingham Railway, and will proceed in ivarly a straight line to Derby, using so much of tho Leicester and Swannington Rail way as lies in its course. From thence it will proceed to Buxton, there forming a junction wills the Manchester , Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway. The proposed railway will Ilirtn a direct coutinuation of the London and Birmingham Railway, to Manchester, and thus supersede the necessity of any direct Manchester and London Railway, as the dis tance to London by this route will be as short as by either of the pro posed direct Manchester and Loud n Railways. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will considerably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Man chester and Leicester. The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The support of the London and Birmingham, the North Midland, and Manchester and Liverpool Railways, may be expected for this fine. Communications may be addressed to the Company's Solicitor, T. G. BREWER, Esq. 13, Gray's-Inn-square. E ASTERN UNION RAILWAY. HARWICH SCRIP. The Directors of the Eastern Union Railway Company applied to Parliament, under the authority of their Shareholders, given by unanimoui resolution, at a Special Meeting held 12th February last, for leave To make a line from the Eastern Union Railway at Manningtree to Harwich, estimated to cost 150,0001.; and To raise a sum of 50,0001., for the purpose of laying a double line of railway from Ipswich to Colchester, and for otherwise rendering' the Easter Union Line more available for the Bury St. Edmund's, Norwich, Harwich, and other traffic directed towards it, and for which Scrip was issued. The latter part only of this resolution has been attained in the .pre sent_session, by a Bill which received the royal assent on Monday, the 21st Instant. and the line will be - constructed to accomplish all the objects the Proprietors have in view. The Directors still consider the Eastern Union Branch to Harwich, as proposed, of so much importance to the interests of the Company, that they have given orders to deposit plans for it next session, at which period their main line will be open to Manningtree, and within eleven miles, by turnpike road, of Harwich. No competing Company, without using the Eastern Union line, can make one with equally unobjectionable gradients, it with less than seventeen miles of new railway, whilst the Eastern Union will require to construct less than eleven miles of new railway. Every means will be taken to meet the views of the Admiralty before the final deposit of the plans is made. By important improve ments in the direction of the line, the Board hope yet materially to reduce the estimates framed last year for the contemplated branch.

There are many gentlemen who have no liking for field sports, yet would much incline to the Registered Jacket, it not confining the chest and giving a general sense of freedom ; no slight recommendation for the library or the early morning walk in the country; but the Registered Jacket, for the purpose designed, viz., shooting, is truly good.

IiqCOLL, twenty paces north of the Quadrant, HAYMARKET THEATRE. The performances here last evening were for the benefit of Miss Julia Bennett, and, as might have been anticipated, the house was a bumper. The performances began with Goldsmith's " right merrie" comedy, She Stoops to Conquer, with Miss Julia Bennett as Miss Hardcastle. She acted the character with great naiveté. She was sprightly and vivacious as heart could wish, but her sprightliness and vivacity never once degene rated into vulgarity. Her Miss Hardcastle is a spirited, and, at the same time, most lady-like performance. Farren and Mrs. Glover were the Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastle, and Buckstone was the Tony Lumpkin —all three were admirable. Indeed, the comedy was well acted throughout. We cannot, how ever, close this notice, without alluding to the very artist-like manner in which Mrs. L. S. Buckingham acted the part of Miss Neville. She made the character a most interesting one. After the comedy, Leopold do Meyer performed a fantasia on the pianoforte, as he alone can perform it, and was, of course, honoured with an encore. The farces of A Dead Shot and Young England concluded the evening's entertainments. , t REA T LUXEMBOURG COMPANY. Capital 3,000,0001., in Shares of 500 francs, or 201. each.

SECRETARY—George W. Hills, Esq. The Railway for which this Company has obtained a concession, will jpin the main Belgian line from Charleroi to Namur and Liege, at Some point near or between the two former towns, and will run through the whole province of Luxembourg, in the Direction of Dinant, Neufchateau, and Arlon, to Luxembourg, with an extension to Thionville and Metz, at which latter city it will join the Paris and Strasbourg Railway. The whole will be about 140 miles in length. It will thus unite all the Belgian railways with those of France ; and if the direction of the various great lines in those two countries, from Belgium to Lille, Valenciennes, Dunkirk, and Calais be examined, it will be seen that the Luxembourg Railway will thus form by far the shortest, and, consequently, the quickest and cheapest route from those countries, and from England to Metz, Strasbourg, Rhenish Prussia, the Rhine (South), Baden, Wurtemburg, and the ether im portant districts of the North-East and East of France, and of the South of Germany, and also to the Eastern parts of Switzerland and Italy. At its northern extremity, this railway must receive a large proportion of the immense goods' traffic proceeding from Holland, Belgium, and the other countries north, by the river Meuse and the Belgian railways and canals which centre in that distr;ct from Antwerp, Ostend, Brussels, Ghent, Bruges, and other Belgian provinces, and join those of France on one side, and on the other those) of Germany and Holland ; thus forming continuous lines of communication with them all. Looking next to the south, a railway is to be made (as a branch to the Paris and Strasbourg Railway) from Metz to the extensive coal-field at Sarrebruck, and another is projected to Manheim, on the Rhine. At Thionville and Metz, the Luxembourg line will meet the large passenger and goods traffic on the Moselle, to and from the Rhine at Coblentz, which the establish ment of steamers on the Moselle, is daily and rapidly increasing. Much of the great transit trade now going by the Rhine through Holland is also likely to take this route through Antwerp or Calais, in consequence of the crest difficulty, delay, and expense of ascending the Rhine between Strasbourgh and Bale. There is likewise a considerable local traffic in passengers and goods in the districts through which the railway will pass, and nu merous fairs are held there. They abound in timber, corn, wine, mines of every description—iron, copper, lead, manganese, antimony, &c.; rock-salt, limestone, plaster, slate quarries (which supply the whole province, and export to a large extent to other countries)—and they contain numerous tanneries, salt-works, and all the smelting and other establishments to which mineral productions give rise. There are 28 blast-furnaces in the province of Namur, and 41 in that of Luxembourg, which all draw iron-ore from the Luxembourg mines. Besides the local consumption of iron, about 70,000 tons are annually exported. On the other hand, Luxembourg imports from Belgium large quantities of glass, manufactured goods, colonial produce spirits, zinc, marble, and building-stone, coal, &c. The importation -of coal from the Belgian coal-field, at the north end of the line, and from Sarrebruck, at its southern extremity, would Increase to a very large extent, both for fuel and for burning lime, smelting ore, and other manufacturing purposes, as soon as an improved means of conveyance is intrcduced, instead of the present slow and expensive one of carting, which keeps that article at a high price. One part of these districts contains fine limestone, while the other wants it ; and the slates would find a largely increased sale in Belgium, Holland, and France.' The wealth, fertility, and population of the department of the Moselle, in which the southern terminus of this railway will be situated, are too well known to need comment. In 1828 a powerful Belgian and Dutch Company, called the " Societe du Luxembourg," undertook to carry out the great national objects-Ist, ofuniting the rivers Meuse and Moselle, and of thus af fording a perfect and continuous means of communication through the whole length of the province ofLuxembout g, by completing the . _ . line of navigation from the Meuse at Liege to the Moselle, near Lux embourg and Treves ; and 2dly, of bringing Into active production the great mineral wealth of this province, which bad remained dor mant for want of proper means of conveyance. For these purposes the Luxembourg Company was endowed with a perpetual grant and almost unlimited powers. In accordance with this project, the Com pany commenced operations at the Liege end, and proceeded with great vigour and success, until all was stopped by the Belgian revolution of 1530. National jealousy or other circumstances have since prevented the resumption of the scheme. The river. Ourthe, which flows into the Meuse, and was the commencement of the proposed line of navigation,-had, however, been considerably im proved by the Company, and an important local traffic, amounting io about 70,000 tons per annum, is now established there, from which the Luxembourg Company has derived a handsome and increasing return for the money expended. This Company had also obtained the grant of three valuable mining localities, previous to the revolution of 1830 ; namely, the grant of the lead, copper, and iron mines at Durbuy, of the lead mines of Maizeret, and. of the manga nese mines of Bihain. Several other grants had been applied for, and were pending, but the matter has since remained in abeyance from the circumstances already mentioned. The grant of Durbuy extends over seven parishes, and 19,308 statute acres; 24,000 tons of honor° had already been extracted previous to 1830, and about as much iron in 1839 and 1840, when the works were resumed. In 1842 these mines were let for twenty years to another company, who undertook to produce at least 1000 cubic yards of rough ore per annum, and who are actively working the mines. The Luxembourg Company receives a royalty or farm-rent of the tenth of the produce. The grant of the Maizeret lead mines extends over 630 acres. From the result of the borings and excavations made, these mines are con sidered very valuable, and they have the advantage of being close to the Meuse river and to the high-road from Namur to Liege. The concession of Bihain extends over 1614 acres, and promises to be come one of great value ; 600 tons of manganese had already been extracted when the works had to be suspended in 1830. The com pany had also already expl red several valuable mining localities, pro. ducing baryte,(from one of which mines 530 tons were extracted,) rock salt, antimony, lead, copper, iron, and other minerals, of which it had applied for grants under the powers and intent of its charter. A large number of quarries were likewise opened by the Company, and continue to be worked. It possesses property in Brussels, including a large mansion and premises, where its offices are situated. In order to become possessed of the extensive powers granted to the Luxembourg Company, and thus to obtain the entire command of the intercourse and mining property in that province and the ad- joining districts, this Company will have to purchase the shares and rights of the Company above-mentioned, including of course the canal, mines, and all its other property, interests and privileges, for the sum of 260,0001. As the railway will effect the purposes of con veyance and communication through Luxembourg, for which the canal was projected, it is now intended (and it is in accordance with the charter) to complete the line of navigation only from the Meuse at Liege to La Roche ; of which the estimated cost is under 400,000/. ' • by this means the railway and navigation cannot clash , a s they will start from and run through quite different districts. It will be reserved for future consideration whether the canal shall eventually be joined to the railway by a branch canal or railway from La Roche, or whether it shall be continued in any other direction. In the meantime the local traffic alone will be sufficient to produce a hand some return on the capital to be invested, it being estimated upon a careful and moderate calculation to yield a net profit of about eight per cent. on the capital required. It may not be generally known that the Belgian canals give a net profit of from six to fourteen per cent., and the Charleroi and Brussels Canal, which was conceded to a company in 1826, is paying ten and a half per cent. on the capital. In addition to the great mineral traffic above described, the canal will cross several extensive forests; whence large quantities of tim ber and wood will be sent for ship and house-building, fuel, and other purposes, for which it is constantly in great demand. The concession of the railway is already obtained from the Go vernment, for a lease of ninety years from the date of its completion. The other conditions are equally favourable. The tariff is about thirty per cent. higher for passenger.; than that of.the Belgian railways, being about the same, both for passengers and goods as that of France, while it is much more advantageous in many other respects. The Government is to give, without charge, all the laid required for the railway, wherever it crosses the crown lands, and it is to use its authority and influence to induce parishes and individuals to do the same. No government or other tax or duty is ever to be im posed upon the railway, nor is any rival line to be allowed to start from the Belgian railways in the direction of this one through Luxembourg, for at least twelve years. The "concessionaires," or lessees of this railway, or their representatives are to have the pre ference of all branch lines which may hereafter be proposed in con- nexion with it. The cost of construction is expeci ed to be considerably under the average of the Belgian lines, the best proof of which is to be found in the circumstance that the Government engages to release the lessees, to return them the caution money, and to pay them for their ex penses of surveys, &c., if the estimate of cost now being made by the Government engineers should exceed the average cost of 800,000 francs per Belgian league (about 10,0001. per English mile), for a single line of rails, but with the land, earth-works, and masonry for a double line. The working of the railway is aiso likely to be very cheap, to which a coal-field at each end of it, and the consequently low price of coke, will much contribute. From all the circumstances already stated, and careful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very handsome return upon the capital required. In the allotment, due consideration will be shown proprietors of shares in the adjoining undertakings of the Sambre and Meuse, Lou vain and Jemappe, and Namur and Litge Railway Companies.

The leading principles of this Mut nal Assurance Society are :- Ist. To charge the LOWEST PR MINIMS consistent with perfect security, the rates being at early rte d middle ages, about a fourth lower than those of other mutual of El ces. 2d. To divide the WHOLE SU 6:PLUS among those members from whose longer payments it has. arisen; in other words, among those whose contributions, with ace trmulated interest, amount to the sums in their Policies. By the operation of the first of t !Lose principles, the greatest pre sent benefit is secured to all ; by the second, those who survive the average duration of life will derive Hie greatest future contingent advantages. The number of Policies issued •si;ice the establishment of the Society in 1837, is believed to excend that of any other Scottish office in the same period of its existenc e ; and the business is steadily and rapidly increasing.

The prisoner's uncle, with whom he lived, having borrowe I a gun for the purpose of pigeon shooting, left it loaded, but with out a cap, in a corner of his parlour. This room, it appearA, althutrAh always open, was but rarely used by the family. The prisoner, who worked at night, returned home early on the morning of the ?Bth of June, and finding the gun, took it eut with him into the street, where the deceased was, and in a pl ful manner said to her, " Sally, I will shoot you." She reph , ad, " Do, if you care." Whereupon he took a cap out of his pocket, and putting it on the gun, fired at and inflicted such griev us wounds on Sarah Witherp, that almost immediate death was the result. The prisoner had been in the habit of blowing out candies with percussion caps, and from the evidence of the a it ness who saw hi:n firt-, and a little girl named Horton, arid alio from the deep sorrow he had shown since his apprehension, there could be no doubt that he teas rot actuated by any mt cious trot tve.

Mr. Greaves and Mr. Yardley cenducted the case for Cie prosecution, and the prisoner wss defended by Mr. Meteyard and Mr. Huddlestorts The prosecutor, a butcher, residing at Brotherton, had been attending at Leek market, and had left the Crown Inn there at a little after twelve on the night of the robbery. As he turned off the Osburne-road, on his way home, into DOUF C .• lane, he noti ce d t h ree men, two of whom passed him without making any observation. Soon after, however, one of the men stopped the horse, while the other two stood by the cart in which the prosecutor was. Presently one of them, by Whese voice the prosecutor stated he knew him to be a man nansed Mirfin, who, however, was acquitted of this very crime at the last assizes, cried out " Surrender." " What shall I stirrer.. der?" inquired the prosecutor. " Your money, or you're e dead man in a moment," said the thief ; to which the intrepid butcher replied, " I think I won't surrender." Exasperated by this refusal, the men threw stones at him, and hurt him ; whereupon he armed himself with his" axe, jumped out of kis cart, and patting a bold front on, prepared for action. His 6; Rover he appealed to in strong language, urging him to bite his assailants, but Rover, from some cause or other, positive'r declined interfering. The three men were too strong to be in timidated, and, rushing on the prosecutor, took the axe from him; in the struggle he fell, and they immediately put their hands on his throat and endeavoured to close his mouth ; still he managed t o cry " Oh , d on ' t murder me, or you'll certainly he found out and hanged." The rolte bers used very violent language, and rifled the pros , - cutor's pockets, who persisted in declaring that his money and watch were taken by Mirfin and the prisoner ; but it appear. d that on the very night he stated to a Mr. Underhill that it wag Mirfin and a man named Plant who had robbed him. Both of the latter were tried and acquitted at the last Spring Assize-s. An accomplice, ene Joseph Candy, stated that he was drinkieT with the prisoner and Joseph Johnson at a public-house at Leek on the evening of the robbery, and that afterwards, :4 they went thr nigh the Bradford toll-gate, the prosecutor came up and passed through the gate. The witness declared himself to be the man who stood at the horse's head, and detailed tl.a circumstances of the robbery much as the prosecutor himself had done. Most of the material portions of Candy's evidence were corroborated by the testimony of other witnesses. An alibi, most ratisfac!orily proved as far as regarded Mirf and Johnson, clearly showed that the prosecutor was quite mis taken as to their identity. AlETEirAltDaddr summed up, and theesssedratheejllryforth juryepris prisoner. Justice PATTESON soon found the prisoner—Not Guilty. In the Nisi Prius Court no case was tried which calls for a report. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Lincoln, July 22. CROWN COURT. CHARGE OF MURDER.—Jane Bell, aged 37, was charged with having, at Laceby, on the 25th of March last, poisoned her husband, Edward Bell, by means of arsenic. The prisoner, a woman in the lower ranks of life, pleaded "Not guilty." She appeared to be near her aecouchement, and was accommodated with a seat during the trial. Mr. Wildman conducted the case on the part of the pro. secution. The prisoner was undefended. The first witness called was a surgeon, of the name of Lep pington, of Great Grimsby, who proved that on the 13th of March he attended deceased, who was suffering udder a con gested state of the viscera of the abdomen and a stoppage in the bowels, and was by the witi.ess considered on the following day to be in imminent danger. This was on the Friday. On the four following days he considered him to be a little better. Saw him lying dead on the 26th of March. Asked the prisoner if she had administered the medicines he ( the witness) had sent. She replied they had been properly administered, but her husband had been woe se the whole of the night. Having heard reports of an unfavourable nature retecting the death of the deceased, it induced witness further to ques tion prisoner, and he asked her what she had done with the arsenic she had purchased the former evening ? to which she replied, she had "mixed it with some chamber lye." Wit ness, in conjunction with the assistance of Mr. Bell and Mr. Keatley, made a post mortem examination of the body, and assisted in removing the contents of the stomach, and takiiig them to a chemist's at Hull. Was piesent when two testa were applied to the contents of the stomach : ammonia, or sul phate of copper, was the first which indicated the presence of arsenic promptly ; ammonia and nitrate of silver was also tried. and indicated arsenic. After the post mortem examination was made the prisoner spoke to witness and Mr. Bell, as they came out of the house, saying, " I hope you have found no thing you can lay to my charge." Witnt ss seid, " Justice w ill be done to you, Mrs. Bell," and left the house. The imme diate cause of death witness considered to be arsenic. Mr. Bell, a surgeon and apothecary at Great Grimsby, cor roborated the last witness as to making the examination of the contents of the stomach. Had sone conversation with the prisoner as to her husband's symptoms. Told her it was a serious loss she had sustained, and asked whether she ka4 noticed any particular symptoms her husband had complained of the night before his death ? She said "no ;" and in reply to questions, said he had not suffered from vonaising after taking Mr. Leppington's medicines; that he had not complained of heat or burning in the throat, or of urgent thkst. Wax present at the post mortem examination of the body, but not of the contents of the stomach. Received the stomach, and secured it at both extremities, and assisted in putting it in a bladder, which was tied over by a string. Found small gritty particles in the folds of the stomach, and from his domination of the body, the opinion witness had formed was that the de ceased had died from the effects of an irritant poison. Mr. Keatley, the assistant to Mr. Bell, corroborated the former statement. THE variable state of the WEATHER, has produced the numerous cases of low fever and debility existing at present, and is a sure indication of habitual costiveness, caused generally by want of care in attending to the state of the digestive visceral organs. The only real remedy in such cases is LORD EL DON'S APERIENT PILLS, which have been the means of positive cure to many thousands ; they are peculiarly adapted for persons of both sexes who are of sedentary habits ; they are patronised by the nobility and gentry, and are the mildest and most efficacious medi cine extant.

ÜBE, M.D., F.R.S. 13 Charlotte-street, Bedford-square, London. Mr. Pearsall, a chemist at Iful, and who had been lecturer on chemistry at the Medical School there, tested the contents of the stomach. He observed the stomach covered with whits: particles. Mr. Leppington took cue on his finger. Thought it might be flour or starch—analysed it, and found it was arsenic ; considers the quantity found sufficient to cause death. Mr. 'Watson, who keeps a chemist's shop at Laceby, deposed' to prisoner buying a quarter of a pound of arsenic and some Gott soap the evening before the death; she said she wanted it to kill bugs, the same as last year.- A female, who was in the house, proved that on the evening in question prisoner mixed up aorne arrow-root and gave it to her husband. He tasted it, said it was nasty, and would have no more. There were sonic other trifling circumstances in the case, but. nothing tending to criminate the prisoner directly. The deceased had been in a very bad state, and had been ac customed to take laudanum and even arsenic as amedioice, and he might have helped himself, or the prisoner might have given him some at his desire, and been afraid to mention it. More. over, nothing came out to show that the deceased and his wife were ever upon other than affectionate terms. At the time her husband died, besides deceased and herself, there were in the house three children, the prisoner's mother, and two other persons. The Learned JUDGE (Mr. Justice Maule) summed up with great impartiality, and the jury returned a verdict of Nut Guilty. LLOYD'S SHIPPING, EAST INDIA SHIPPING.
