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 are 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 stat!on 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 Mudiands to the Royal Pier, Southampton, contiguous to which, and on the present waste shore. it is proposed to erect a spacious Terminus, the oast of which is in cluded in the estimate. It is also proposed to place the Railway irreommunication 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 be reserved for the Proprietors of the Wilts and Somerset Railway.

The Railway for which this Company has obtained a concession, will join 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, Neufehateau„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 Francs; and if the direction of the various great lines in those two countries, !tom 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 district 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 great difficulty, delay, and expense of ascending the Rhine between Strasbourgh and Bile. 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, wino, mines of every description-4ron, 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 ace 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 introduced, 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 powerild Belgian and Dutch Company, called the " Societe du Luxembourg," undertook to carry out the great national objects—let, of uniting the rivers Meuse and Moselle, and of thus af fording a perfect and continuous means of communication through the whole length of the province of Luxembourg, by completing the line of navigation from the Mense at Liege to the Moselle, near Lux embourg and Troves ; and 2dly, of bringing into active production the great mineral wealth of this province, which had 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 1330. 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 to about 70,000 tons perannum, 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 iron orc 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 if 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. diming 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 puichase 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 400,0001. ; by this means the railway and navigation cannot clash, as they will start from and run through quite different districts. It will be reserved for future consideration whether the canal shalt 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 he 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 pd 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 passengers 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 expecled 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 reture 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 doable line. The working of the railway is also likely to be v e ry 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 and pr 3,olperiuseet,orLs! Lou vain o doubt that this line of railway will yield a very handsome return upon the capital required. sha ln re t s nhieatllhoetmadejnot,inindgueuncodnerts idakeriantgisonofß; the 1 l e be sho wn Sambre vain and Jemappe, and Namur and Liege Railway Companies.

(With power to add to their number.) This Company is originated on data supplied by official returns, obtained from a majority of the leading cities and towns in the king dom, exhibiting an almost nominal risk in drapers' establishments, and is based upon the principle of excluding all extra hazardous risks ; but power is intended to be vested in the Directors to accept (if they think proper) applications for general insurances, where the risks can be clearly shown not to exceed that of a general draper's es blishment. The effect of a preliminary of support in d canvass has been to o bt a i n large pro misesifferent distri, both by Intend e d I nsurances and subscription for shares. It is believed, also, that (rejecting all extra risks) the Directors will be in a condition to materially y reduce the premiums payable for Insurances.

" This is an hitorical romance of a very high order. Years have passel without seeing so clever, so interesting, so magnificent a fic tion founded on facts. The author is possessed of great ability, and must take precedence of all living English historical romancists."— Weekly Dispatch. " There can scarcely be named a single distinguished or notorious character that figured in those extraordinary times with whom we do not meet bodily in these pages, from Charles and Cromwell down to the mere underlings. The novel certainly raises our estimate of its author's powers, and fully satisfies us that he may, if he pleases, take a high place in our literature of fiction."—Court Journal. " The author of these volumes possesses descriptive powers of no ordinary kind. He paints in the most vivid colours, and imparts vigour to all who appear in his pages. The romance possesses great merit, and the author deserves to take his stand with the best his torical novel writers of the day ."—Atlas. " There is not a dull page in the work. The last portion is de voted to the execution of Charles. It is a masterly description of that frightful tragedy."—Observer. " It fully supports the reputation obtained by the author by his earlier work ; indeed in many respects will enhance it. Altogether the work is one of great merit."—Morning Chronicle. " If our space permitted, we would gladly have turned to earlier parts of the tale for glimpses of Cromwell in his home and in the field, and for a quiet and not unpleasing glimpse of George Fox, the father of Quakerdom.

This Railway will commence at the Rugby station of the London and Birmingham Railway, and will proceed in nearly a straight line to Derby, using so much of the Leicester and Swannington Rail way as lies in its course. From thence it will proceed to Buxton, there forming a junction with the Manchester , Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway. The proposed railway will form a direct continuation of the London and Mirmingbam 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 Lend , 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 line. Communications may be addressed to the Company's Solicitor, T. G. BREWER, Esq. 13, Gray's-Inn-square. EASTERN UNION RAILWAY. HARWICH SCRIP. The Directors of the Eastern Union Railway Company applied to Parliamyg, under the authority of their Shareholders, given by unanimous resolution, at a Special Meeting held 12th February last, for leave To make a line from the Eastern Ur ion Railway at Manningtree to Harwich, estimated to cost 150,0001.; and To raise a stun 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, b t h y ei 1* turnpiketna n] i r n o e a N d v , i 1 0 1 r bLo r, p e v n i h to . 3 N I a o n e n o i n g p e t r t ee i n , g a c n o d m w p i an t h y i that they have given rders to deposit plans for it n ex t sess i on, at e w le h v ic e h n Pe mi r l i es od , n without using the Eastern Union line, can make one with equally unobjectionable gradients, cr 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. Holders of the Harwich Scrip issued in February, are requested to return it, addressed To the SeCretary, Eastern Union Railway, Ipswich, to be exchanged as follows :- 14 th, or 121. 10s. of each 501. Share, will be given in a registered Eastern Union Quarter Share, with 12s. 6d. paid. ths, or 371. 10s. of ditto, will be re-issued in Scrip for the Har wich Line, on which 1/. 17s. 6d. will remain as a deposit, and be at the disposal of the Directors for the Branch Line neat year. This part may be also converted into Eastern Union Shares, when the Harwich Lino shall have obtained the sanction of Parliament ; and previous to that Bill passing no new deposit will ba requisite. To equalise the paymeats on the Quarter Shares with the original Eastern Union Shares, the Directors have resolved on the following scale for calls, between this time and the 31st December, and beg to announce It to the holders : • s. d. Deposit already paid A call to be made Ist September •••••• • • • • • • 1 12 6 Ditto 15th November ••• • • ..... 1 10 0 Ditto 31st December • £6 5 0 Equal to 251. which will then have been paid on the 501. Shares. Interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the above payments, or any payments made in advance of calls, will be allowed and paid half yearly-30th June and 3lst Deeem;ier. Under the Act of Parliament the Directors are at liberty to amal gamate into whole Shares any requisite number of the above new Quarter Shares, upon application being made to them to do so. Warrants for interest due on the 30th June on Eastern Union calls paid aro now in the course of delivery, and where they have not been forwarded to Shareholders, may be received on application at the office, Brook-street, Ipswich.

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 llardcastle. She acted the character with great naivete. She was sprightly and vivacious as heart could wish, but her sprightliness and vivacity never once degene rated into vulgarity. Her Miss llardcastle is a spirited, and, at the same time, most lady-like performance. Farrell 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 de 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. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, attended by the ladies and gentlemen of the royal suite, after their excursion in the royal yacht, on Tuesday afternoon, returned to Osborne House, Isle of Wight, soon after seven o'clock in the evening. There was no addition to the royal circle at dinner, Yesterday morning her Majesty and her Royal Consort took a drive in an open pony carriage. The juvenile Royal Family were taken their accustomed rides and walks yesterday forenoon, in the pleasure grounds of Osborne House. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge and Prince George returned to town yesterday morning, from Paultons, near Romsey. M. Dedel, the Netherlands Minister, transacted business yes terday at the Foreign -office. Mr. J. Strettell Briekwood, Public Works Loan Office, South Sea House, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-street. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had a meet ing yesterday afternoon at the office in Whitehall-place. There were present the Bishop of Rochester, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Besborough, and the Dean of West minster. Dispatches were sentoff yesterday evening from the Colonial office for the Governor of the Mauritius. ELOPEMENT.—On Wednesday a young lady and a young gentleman, whose relations and friends reside in the vicinity of London, eloped from Richmond on a matrimonial adventure. No suspicion, it appears, was entertained of the existence of any attachment between them, until they dis appeared from the party of which they were members, after dinner. The occasion selected by them for showing their preference of each other was that of a water entertainment. Soon after the boat , in which were congregated twent y -t hree or twenty-four indiv iduals, arrived at Richmond, the party dined very luxuri ousl y , and it was agreed that the y should walk about the g rounds near which their vessel was Moored, and assemble at a stated period to finish the day's entertain ment. At the appointed hour all the company were present, exce pt the young persons to whom we have alluded, and not a syllable was heard about them down to the arrival of the rest in pitmen of this distri c t h ave b een holding various meetings the week, at a ll o f which the delegates who at _ The London. d.rin tended recommended that preparations should be made for another strike.—Netccastk paper. Director. - ASSIZE INTELLICENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stqffoid, July `22.' Their Lordships yesterday attended Divine sorv.:." at Mary's ohurch. The Rev. Mr. Woolley preached the assize sermon. In the course of the day all the common jury esC ae ! except one were tried, but none of them possess e d th e s li g htes.' interest. ( Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) Wm. Henry Parker , aged 13, was indicted for the man slaughter of Sarah Withers, at Westbromwich. Mr. Forster appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Meteyard. The prisoner's uncle, with whom he lived, having borrowed a gun for the purpose of pigeon shooting, left it leaded, but with out a cap, in a corner of his parlour. This room, it appeared, although always open, was but rarely used by the family. 'The prisoner, who worked at night, returned home early on tie morning of the 28th of June, and finding the gun, took it out with him into the street, where the deceased was, and in a play ful manner said to her, " Sally, I will shoot you." She replied, " Do, if you dare." Whereupon he took a cap out of his pocket, and putting it on the gun, fired at and inflicted such grievous wounds on Sarah Withers, that almost immediate death was the result. The prisoner had been in the habit of blowing out candles with percussion caps, and from the evidence of the wit ness who saw him fire, and a little girl named Horton, and also from the sleep borrow he had shown since his apprehension, there could be no doubt that he was not actuated by any mali cious motive. After a very short deliberation, the jury acquitted the prisoner, who, after a very feeling admonition from the Learned Judge. was discharged. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.--John Johnson, alias Jack Mutton, aged 23, was indicted for assaulting Thomas Harrison on the 9th of January, and stealing three sovereigns and other money, in all amounting to 71. 155., and a silver watch, at the parish of Leek. Mr. Greaves and Mr. Yardley cenducted the case for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Me4eyard and Mr. Huddleston. The prosecutor, a butcher, residing at Brotherton, hed been attending at Leek market, and had left the Crown hut there at a little after twelve on the night of the robbery. As he turned t,ff the Osburne-road, on his way home, into Douse flane, he noti ce d th ree men , two of whom passed him without making any observation. Soon after, however, one of the men stopped the horse, while the other twe s-food by the cart in which the prosecutor was. Presently one of them, by whose voice the prosecutor stated he knew him to be a man named Mirfin, who, however, was acquitted of this very crime Qt the List assizes, cried out " Surrender." " What shall I surren der?" inquired the prosecutor. " Your money, or you're a dead man in a moment," said the thief ; to which the intrepid butcher replied, " I think 1 won't surrender." Exasperated by this refusal, the men threw stones at him, and hurt him ; i whereupon he armed himself with his axe, jumped out of his cart, and patting a bold f ron t on , prepared for action. His dog Rover he appealed to in strong language, urging him to bite his assailants, but Rover, from some cause or other, positively declined interfering. The three men were too strong to b. 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 to cry " Ob, don't murder nit s or you'll certainly be found out and hanged." The rob bers used very violent language, and rifled the prose cutor's pockets, who persisted in declaring that his money and watch were taken by Mirfin and the prisoner ; but it appeared that on the very night he stated to a Mr. Underhill that it was Mirfin and a man named Plant who had robbed him. Both of the latter were tried and acquitted at the last Spring Assissa. An accomplice, one Joseph Candy, stated that he was drinking with the prisoner and Joseph Johnson at a public-house at Leek on the evening of the robbery, and that afterwards, as they went through the Bradford toll-gate, the prosecutor camp up and passed through the gate. The witness declared himself to be the man who stood at the horse's head, and detailed the 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 satisfactorily proved as far as regarded Mirfin and Johnson, clearly showed that the prosecutor was quite mis taken as to their identity. Mr. METEYA RD addressed the jury for the prisoner. Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up, and the jury soon found the prisoner—Not Guilty. In the Nisi Prins Court no case was tried which calls for a report. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Lincoen, July 22. CROWN COURT. CHAR•I 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 aecoichernent, 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 under a con gested state of the viscera of the abdomen and a stoppage in the bowels, and was by the witness 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 administemd, but her husband had been worse the whole of the night. Having heard reports of an unfavourable nature respecting 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 taking them to a chemist's at Hull. Was present when two tests 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 m charge." Witntss said, " Justice will 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, cord rohorated the last witness as to making the examination of the contents of the stomach. Had some conversation with the prisoner as to her husband's symptoms. Told her it was a Furious loss sho had sustained, and asked whether she -bail 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 rot suffered from vomiting after taking Mr. Leppington's medicines; that he had not complained of heat or burning in the throat, or of urgent thirst. Was present at the post mortem examination of the body, but not of the contents of the stomach. Received the stomach, god 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 examination of the body, the opinion witness had formed was that the di ceased had died from the effects of an irritant poison. Mr. Keatley, the assistant to Mr. Bell, corroborated the former statement. Mr. Pearsall, a chemist at Hull, and who had been lecturer on chemistry at the Medical School there, tested the contents of the stomach. He observed the stomach covered with white particles. Mr. Leppington took one 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 soft 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 some arrow-root and gave it to her husband. He tasted it, said it was nasty, and would have no more. There were some 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 a medicine, and he might have helped himself, or the prisoner might have gives_ him some at his desire, and been afraid to mention it. More over, nothing came out to show that the deemed 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 Julian (Mr. Justice Mauls) summed up with great impartiality, and the jury returned a ♦erdict of Not Guilty. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.
