GERMAN Y. The Government of the Duchy of Gotha has pro posed an arrangement of a question that has for some time been pending between the Executive and the Chamber, the determining which of the Ducal do mains are to be considered State property, and liable to be charged for the State debts, and which are the private property of the reigning family. Hitherto this . has been uncertain, and legal questions of muc h difficulty have arisen from the dispute. The Govern ment proposes an agreement between the reigning Duke, Prince Albert, and the other members of the Ducal House on the one side, and the Chamber of Deputies of Gotha on the other, with respect to what are called the hammer properties and the Do main properties. It is suggested that they shall be divided into two portions, one of which is to be de clared free from debt and inalienable, and made an entail, as the property of the Ducal family; the other portion to be set apart distinctly as State property. The family property will, according to this plan, consist of certain forests and landed estates, which have hitherto brought in an income of 100,000 thalers, and va*ous gardens, pleasure grounds, and c ollections of objects of art and science. From the revenue of the entailed domains is to be defrayed the cost of the Court, the allowanbes of the Princes, the salary of the persons in the private service of the Duke, and the expenses cf a Regent, should a representative of the Duke be necessary; the various chateaux, houses, and grounds are also to be kept in re p air from the same revenue. The whole amount of the public d e bt is to be made a charge on the State dominions, which are besides to pay a contribution of 24,475 thalers to the Ducal House. In 1848 the State and family domains were united, and in 1849 were declared col lectively to be the property of the State. Against this declaration, however, the agnates of the family protested, and the legal difficulties that consequently arose have led to the arrangement now suggested. DENMARK. In the last sitting of the Chamber, the President of the Council communicated to the Deputies the change in the Ministry. The President of the Chamber afterwards stated he bad received an official notification of the intention of the Government to lay before the Assembly, at the latest by the end of the week, a statement of the political position of the country. M. Hausen had given notice of an inter pellation on the subject; but on an appeal from the President, and in consideration that an official state ment would so shortly be made, he withdrew it. M. Hausen asked if the report would be read in a public sitting ; the President of the Council said the Cabinet would come to a decision on the point before the report was made. THE OMNIBUS DRIVERS. On Monday evening a meeting was held at the School-room, Liverpool-road, Islington, preliminary to calling an aggregate meeting at Exeter Hall, to consider the best mode of improving the condition of the omnibus drivers and conductors of London, and affording them some relaxation and opportunity of attending public worship. It appeared, from a state ment that was made, that there are at present 3,000 omnibuses plying on the streets, the cost of which had been 300,000/. Each of them had ten horses attached, the value of which in the gross was also 300,000/. The harnesses were worth 60,000/. ; and sundries being taken at 2,0001, the total of capital invested amounted to 962,0001. The number of drivers and conductors employed was 6,000; of horse keepers, 3,000; and " odd men," that is persons oc crsionaliv employed, was 2,000 ; making a total of 11,000 persons daily employed in the omnibus traffic of Lyndon. The number of persons conveyed by each omnibus per day was calculated to be 300, or 2,000 per week, which would give, as the total number of persons conveyed in all the omnibuses running, no less a number than six millions a week, and about three hundred millions a year. It was urged that something ought to be done fur the men who were in fact the active servants of these numerous passengers, who for 16 hours a day drove between 60 and 70 miles, so as to enable them to obtain some of the comforts of social and family life. A very strong description cf the hardships aris ing from continuous labour and perpetual absence from their homes was given by Mr. Scully, a working man. He also stated numerous cases of confirmed constitutional illness in this class of men, produced by the hardships they went through. He urged the utter impossibility of these men being able to make any provision for themselves in sickness, or for their families after their deaths. He placed before the meeting the claims of an institution which had been established, called the "Metropolitan Omnibus Servants Society," and expressed a hope that a school for tha children of omnibus conductors and drivers would be established. The statements of Mr. Scully were corroborated by a timekeeper of one of the City omnibuses. After several other addresses, it was arranged that another meeting should take place neat week at Mr. Hamilton's school-room, in order to make arrange ments for a general meeting on the subject. DARING BURGLARY. A brutal attack was made on Friday last at the re sidence of a very respectable couple, Mr. Fairley and his wife, natives of Scotland. Mr. Fairley has been a farming bailiff in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdon shire for many years, and has lately had the manage ment of large farms, the property of R. H. Hussey, Esq., and lives at the Holborn Farm, situate about a mile from Upwood, and about the same distance from Wiston and Great Ravely. About eleven o'clock on Friday, the -24th instant, Mr. Fairley heard footsteps sear his house; he immediately seized his fire-arms (a horse-pistol and a revolver), and told the robbers, whom he saw through his bedroom window, that he would shoot them if they attempted to enter. The robbers immediately smashed the shutters and glass of the parlour window, and also the back door. Mr. Fairley stationed himself at his bedroom door, at the top of the stairs, and waited the approach of the robbers, who had now got lights, and seemed very cautious. Mr. Fairley aimed at one with his horse pistol, which unfortunately missed fire. He then took his revolver, and, whenever he got sight of any of the robbers, fired at them, and they in return fired at him. Mr. Fairley fought the robbers for upwards of an hour, his wife encouraging him by telling him re • peatedly to " take steady aim ;" the robbers being foiled in their attempt to get up stairs, procured a quantity of straw and articles of furniture, which thsy laid in the passage at the bottom of the stairs, to which they set fire, shutting the side doors so as to force the smoke up the stairs. Mrs. Fairley now opened the win dows of the bed-room to allow the smoke to escape, and when doing so received a violent blow on the head from a stone. When nearly suffocated, Mr. and Mrs. Fairley surrendered. There were five robbers in the house, and others were outside ; they were all masked, and were armed with four guns and three horse-pistols. After Mr. and Mrs. Fairley sur rendered they recived several violent blows. The robbers ransacked the house, broke open drawers and boxes, scattered about linen and wearing apparel, and destroyed furniture, glass, earthenware, eatables, and drinkables. They afterwards regaled themselves with bread and meat and cheese. Mr. Fairley told them where to find a bottle of good Scotch whisky, and invited them to partake freely of other spirits; they left about three o'clock in the morning, when Mr. Fairley gave the alarm at Up wood, and farmers and others were soon scouring the country in all directions. Near daylight two of the farm labourers discovered two of the robbers asleep in a ditch about half a mile from the house, with three guns by their side and some of Mr. Fairley's wearing apparel upon them. They were drunk, and smelt strongly of whisky. They were taken off to St. Ives loek-up house for examination it is hoped th a t t h e whole of the robbers will soon be in custody. Th e missing articles are two watches, s il v er plate, consisti n gdessert, and oftable, tea spoons, &c., marked T. F., and nearly 5/. in cash. T h e windows and doors of the house are a complete w reck, and the plaster on the walls r iddl e d with shot and bullets. _ _ _ DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AT 3 4 4 7 .1vc A fire broke out on Saturday evenin g , ab out half-past seven o'clock, in the works of Mrs. Scholefield, dyer, -a ---past of Cornbrook , Huline, and did damage to the extentB:o . between 2,000/. and 3,000/• before it was extinct. ri?e' violence of the destr uctive element was confined mainly to a portion of the works in which it was first seen, , z ,,. cupied as a store —a part of dyers' premises which is usually, as in this instance, totally destroyed when once ignited, from the dry and combustible character of the materials it contains. The fire burnt very fiercely at first, but the great exertions made by a body of the 16th racks e ' who went with a small engine from their bar the hurtling %want near at hand, kept it within check until the larger force of the t cagiues arrive:l, and opened play upon brigade and th,:idings.

The origin of the fire is not ascertained; the workmen were on the premises until about midnight on Saturday finishing some work, but not in the pattern rooms, and the porter left all right when he locked up after them. MRS. "BLOOMER" KNIGHT IN BATH. Mrs. Knight, it must be confessed, was very coy in exhibiting the new costume. Immediately on her en trance she took refuge behind the table and its cloth, and, notwithstanding repeated invitations, never ven tured beyond its precincts during the lecture. On its c l ose , h o wever, she did step on one side, and revealed the new costume— ., Like snow upon the river, One moment seen, then gone for ever." The momentary glance with which the audience were favoured excited a very unfavourable impression, and an unmistakeable fit of laughter, which followed the Bloomers as they made their exit, still keeping under cover of the table. As far as could be discovered, the dress consisted of a " Jim Crow" hat, laced with rib bons, a neckerchief, turn-down collar, jacket, and the pantilettes, the latter most ugly, odious, things. Has the reader ever seen fishermen clad in those boots in which they clothe themselves up to the waist? Well, then, if he imagine their huge, stiff, hard Colds, rendered more prominent by a ligature at the ancle, he will have some idea of the Bioomer, as first exhibited in our fashion ah'-a city. It was, in truth, a man's dress womanified; there was all the ungratefulness of the one with the tawdriness of the other. There was nothing of the smartness of the French cantiniere, or the gracefulness of the Greek costume; and truth compels us to add, that the audience separated thinking much worse of Bloomerism than they did before they saw it.—Bath Chronicle. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Oct. 28.) SUGAR.—To-day there was a reluctance to operate in West India Sugar for all purposes; and in some cases the rates taken were rather under those of Friday, for both Grocery and Refining sorts.

Mr. Coasna asked whether at any time during 1 is course of attendance upon her she had informed hi m how the injury on her hand had been caused? Cr. Hardinge—She told me that it was the result of a blow from her husband. Sergeant Martin produced the fire-shovel with whi eh she was assaulted. Mr. CoMBE (to Mr. Hardinge)—Was she in da a - ger when she told you it was the result of a bin • from her husband ? Mr. Hardinge said she was no rt, Mr. CoMBE asked if it was likely for her to be a' any time conscious or capable of being examined wird I reference to what she had said about the assault r her husband ? Mr. Hardinge replied that he had n n t the least hope of her recovery, or that she would er r be able to understand anything that could be said ti her. Mr. CoMBE inquired who was attending upon her. ? Mr. Hardinge—Her sister, a nurse, and other rel a - tions. Mr. CoMBE gave instructions that if at any tire 9 there was the least symptom of returning conscious - ness information should be instantly communicated t o this court, in order that a magistrate might attend t o take her examination. Mr. Harding() said he would attend to the sugg( tion of his worship, but he did not expect that s e would be alive on his return to her house. Sergeant Martin said that information was given to the police of the transaction, and the dangerous stto :e of the injured woman, when he was ordered to 1.4 main in the prisoner's house all night, and yesterd ,sl7 morning he felt himself justified in taking the priso) a.er into custody. Mr. CoMaE asked the prisoner what he had to !it y CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) Freiherr von Forster, the Bavarian who was con victed on Monday of robbing a gentleman staying at the York Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, was brought up for judgment. The RECORDER told the prisoner that he had been convicted upon very clear evidence, and there was too much ground for believing that this was not the only offence of the same character that he had com mitted. At present, however, he was only convicted upon one charge, and the sentence for that offence would be imprisonment with hard labour for 12 months ; but he must recollect that if he had really committed any other offences he would he liable to bo charged upon them at the expiration of his imprison ment, and he advised him when he was released to make the best of his way to his own country. The address of the Learned Judge was explained to the prisoner by an interpreter who had been employed in the case. Edward Evans, 44, pleaded Guilty to an indict ment charging him with stealing a Bank of England note for 1,0001., and two other notes for 2001. each, the property of Messrs. Hoare and Co., the bankers. Mr. BODKIN, who appeared as counsel for the pri soner, addressed the Court, and in mitigation of punishment stated that he had been for many years in the service of the prosecutors and enjoyed their confidence. He bad made all the reparation in his power by acknowledging his guilt, and he had since rendered all the assistance he could to enable the firm to put their books to rights and place them in posses sion of the actual amount and nature of the transactions in which he was implicated. Mr. CLARKSON, who was counsel for the prosecu tion, also addressed the Court, and said that it was quite true that the prisoner had been looked upon by the firm as a person of great respectability and in whom they placed the utmost confidence, and it was only in the performance of a most painful duty that they felt themselves compelled to appear as the prose cutors of the present indictment. He felt it right at the same time to inform the Court that it was correctly , stated by his learned friend that since the apprehen sion of the prisoner he had given the prosecutors every information in his power upon the subject of the charges that were made against him. The RECORDER said he should like to put one or two questions to Mr. Hoare. Mr. Hoare was accordingly sworn upon the noire dire ; and in answer to questions that were put by the Court, said that the sum of 1,4001., referred to in the present indictment, he had reason to believe was not the whole extent to which the firm bad been plun dered by the prisoner. He was engaged as ledger keeper, and had been for twenty years in the service of the firm, and the utmost confidence was reposed in him. The RECORDER inquired if the prisoner had really rendered assistance to correct the errors in the books. Mr. Hoare said that he had done all in his power to enable them to put the books to rights. A great many false entries were made in them, and but for the assistance of the prisoner it would have been a work of very great difficulty to have traced the dif ferent items. The RECORDER postponed passing sentence. Edward Pittard, 29, agent, pleaded guilty to four indictments charging him with uttering forged cheques for small amounts to different tradesmen. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the habit of going to tradesmen's shops offering goods for sale, and having succeeded in throwing the parties off their guard by his apparent position of respectability, he would purchase some trifling article, giving in payment a false cheque for a small amount, and re ceiving the difference. The RECORDER, having ascertained that the pri soner had borne a good character at a former period of his fife, and that he had never before been cone victed of any offence, inflicted upon him the lenient sentence of six months' imprisonment and hard labour. Caroline Gertrude Rogers, 19, a good-looking young woman, was placed at the bar to receive judgment. The RECORDER, addressing her, said that she had pleaded guilty at the last session of this court to a charge of forgery, and the offence appeared to have been committed with great art and ingenuity. The sentence was respited in the hope that the benevolent ladies who made it their duty to inquire into the cases of the prisoners confined in the gaol of Newgate would hare made such a report respecting her as would have justified the Court in passing upon her a lenient sentence. He was sorry, however, to find that the inquiries which had been made respecting her placed her in a still more unfavourable position, for it ap peared that this was not the only criminal offence she had committed, and the ladies who had had the op portunity of seeing her and becoming acquainted with her conduct had unanimously reported that she was a person having an utter disregard ,for truth, and that her word could not in any respect be relied on. He was afraid that this disregard of truth had been to a great extent the means of placing her in her present painful position, and it was clear that she would not be likely to do any good in this country. The sen tence, therefore, he felt bound to pass upon her was one of transportation for seven years. to the charge of striking hie wife. The prisoner, who was pale and dejected, ra id seemed to feel the situation in which he was place 3, replied, " I deny it ; I did not strike her." He was then remanded and locked up. In the course of the day Sergeant Martin appro for a summons to compel the future attendance of P I.r. Hardinge to give evidence, he having threatened n of to attend without a summons, as he would not be pa id else. A summons was granted. THAMES. Thamas Hillier, an excavator, better known by the sobriquet of " Tom the Navvy," and TV/ //i4 in Ford, two well-known and desperate thieves, vo ho have been for some time connected with the lawlt !ss Poplar gang, many of whom have been convicted a nd transported, were brought up on remand before - rt Ir. Yardley, charged with assaulting and wounding Thomas Cottles, potman at the Harrow public-ho u se, in High-street, Poplar. The wounded man, who was in a weakly condi t ion and very pale, and whose jaw was broken by a fel low named Sotcher, who killed a man in a prize-fight t wo years before, was now led into court to give evide n ce. He has received most serious injuries and contusie ns. He stated that a robbery took place in the tap-ra am of the Harrow on the 18th inst., when a man of colt ►ur named Fredericks was robbed and assaulted by two ruffians, named Drew and Palmer, whom he caned to be apprehended the same night. On the foil ow ing afternoon, which was Sunday, a man nar Jed Sotcher attacked him in the same tap-room, itnd after accusing him of causing the apprehension of his companions, beat him severely and frac tured his jaw. For this offence Sotcher was fie ied 3/. by Mr. Ingham, on Monday, the 20th. On the same day Drew and Palmer were committed for trial for the robbery. He was standing outside the court when Ford crossed over the road, used the most horrible imprecations, and among other things said, "If you give evidence against Drew and Palmer, I'll jump your guts out." This was Wore the prisoners were committed for trial. Similar threats were used by Ford and others afterwards, and he scught the protection of the magistrate and the police. On Wednesday last he came to that noun to obtain a warrant against Ford and a woman n a med Welch, who had used deadly threats towards him. He was too late to see the magistrate, and fearing he should be waylaid on the way home, he got iniaa an omnibus and was set down in the East India-;road, at the end of Newby-place, about a quarter of a mile from the Harrow. He had not gone more than 30 yards when he saw the prisoners following close upon his heels. Ford called out, "Now, you b---, I have got you." He ran away, and was followe dby the prisoners. He reached Harrow, and to maid a blow aimed at him did not go in at the front door, but ran into a yard by the lower gate, at the side of the house, and rushed towards a shed or pot-house, where he cleaned his pots. Before he reached it the prisoners, who must have leaped the fence, rushed upon him just as he was going up stairs, and Tom the Navvy seized the sleeve of his coat and tore it off. He struggled to get i away, and the same man gave him a tremendous blow on the mouth, which caused him to stagger, and at the same time called out, " Bill Ford, give it the b— ; finish him ! Let's have his life !" and struck him violently on the back and front of his neck, and knocked him down. As he was fall ing Ford struck him a violent blow on the side with a round piece of iron or wood, and struck him ou the belly. He became insensible after that, and when he came to his senses many hours after he'was in bed in the Harrow with a surgeon attending him. In answer to questions by the magistrate, the wit ness said he was sure the prisoners were the men who assaulted him, and that he knew them well. They were in the Harrow when the robbery was committed by Drew and Palmer, who had been since tried. Drew was convicted and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Palmer was acquitted. He had left his bed for the first time that day. Hillier—All I can say is, I was not there. I was at work at the time. That fellow will swear any thing. He has had twelve months himself for steal ing a coat. Cottles admitted he had been in trouble. He took away a coat and put it on his back, and the man to whom it belonged hal made a recompense since. On being asked to explain himself, he said the owner of the coat had expressed his conviction that he never meant to steal his coat. He had led a steady and honest life ever since. James Harris, police-sergeant, 21 K, stated that he found Cottles groaning heavily in the pot-house, be hind the Harrow, about five o'clock on Wednesday last. The wounded man was lying on his side and weltering in his blood, and was quite insensible. He procured assistance and carried him to bed. Harris then deposed to the apprehension of Hillier the same night, and the surrender of Ford at the station- house. He took them both to the bedside of the wounded man, and he identified them immediately, on which Ford said, " Thank you, Tom, for that." On Thurs day afternoon, after leaving that court, he went to the Harrow to ascertain what instrument Cottles had been beaten with, and found in the pot-house a piece of iron gas-pipe, about three or four inches in cir cumference, lying close to the place where he found the prosecutor. It was two feet in length. Cottles was recalled. The instrument with which he was beaten resembled the piece of a gas-pipe produced. Several policemen and others were called, who proved the dreadful threats made use of by Ford out side the court, and to the prisoners being seen near and at the Harrow, about the time the outrage was committed. Ford said be would call his mother, who could prove be was at home at the very time the assault was committed. Mr. YARDLEY—I will hear her if you wish it, but whatever her evidence may be , I shall commit you for trial. Perhaps you had better reserve her testimony Ford—l will reserve it. Mr. YARDLEY committed both prisoners for trial a the Clerkenwell Sessions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. William Dubois was charged with having stolen a watch from Henry Bell. The complainant, who was evidently inexperienced in the ways of the town, was addressed in the street by a fellow who asked him to buy some tobacco, and then induced him to go into a public-house, into which the prisoner soon after walked, and some talk having taken place about the purchase of a watch, confusion was caused, and the prisoner took up the complainant's watch and ran off with it The prisoner expressed the greatest astonishment at the charge, and said he had never seen the com plainant before his apprehension by an officer.—Com mited for trial. Williams, a lighterman, was charged with having used language calculated to lead to a breach of the peace toone of the watermen who are in the habit of rowing the Lord Mayor's barge. The defendant, it appeared, had been very much in the habit of casting ridicule upon the rowers of the Lord Mayor's barge for a great length of time, and was occasionally assisted in that sort of amuse ment by other young fellows upon the water. The particular mode of annoyance resorted upon the present occasion was excessively offensive. The City bargemen wear upon state occasions a peculiar dress of a very showy description, and the de fendant in reference to a particular part of that dress which is more prominently exhi bited when they are occupied in rowing the barge, de signated the complainant as " My Lord Bum." The epithet was not confined, as the plaintiff stated, to the water service, but whenever be or any other of the bargemen were met by the defendant " there goes my Lord Bum" was shouted out, and iminediatel re-echoed by the little blackguard boys who were always ready to join in wounding the feelings of those who waited upon the City dignitaries. Not satisfied with casting the indignity of the name upon the com plainant, the defendant upon every occasion added to the provocation by putting his thumb to his nose, and with the most obnoxious noises " playing Mr. Snooks" upon every member of the fraternity. The defendant said the complainant quite misre presented the matter, for he was himself remarkable for giving the offence of which he complained, and anything that was said or done to offend him was merely done in retaliation. The LORD MXTOR saw quite enough in the con duct of both parties before him to induce him to inflict the penalty of 103. upon the defendant, to make him find bail for his good behaviour for six months, and to assure him that any future conviction would be visited with heavy punishment. CLERKEN WELL. Yesterday Thomas Davies, a powerful looking man, carrying on a respectable business as a fruiterer and greengrocer, at No. 18, Vernon -place, Bagnigge. wells-road, was placed at the bar before Mr. Coombe, charged with having violently assaulted Mrs. Eliza beth Deborah Davies, his wife, by which her life it placed in imminent danger. Sergeant Martin and, No. nlenat,esatoidaptheaa. that the prisoner' s wife was insensible It appeared that the prisoner returned home from market, about a week ago, when a quarrel ensued be tween him and his wife, in consequence of her not having his dinner prepared for him. After some high words the prisoner took up a are -shovel, with which he struck her on the hand, and inflicted a severe wound. Mr. Hardinge, of Sackville-street, Piccadilly, was called in, but erysipelas took place, and she was confined to her bed. The officer here produced the following medical certificate, viz. : " I hereby certify that Mrs. Davies now lies danger ously ill from erysipelas, produced by an injury on the hand caused by a blow. "HENRY LIARDINGE, M.D., " Oct. 27. " 24, Sackville street, Jame_q;'?.' Mr. Couna ordered that Mr. I-1 trding6 should be immediately sent for, and he attended in the course of the day, And said that Dirs. Davies was perfectly in- CLARE, SUFFOLK , TUESDAY.—WiIIiam Rollinson, 01SFIN6 IN SUFFOLK. examinedS o n the twofold charge of murdering h e r arsenic, and attempting to destroy the life of his w A a n s ne P Co ° rn i ell, a married woman, by administering to daughter-in-law, Mary Rollinson, by the same means. Mr. Oliver Death, superintendent of the West Suffolk constabulary, stationed at Clan . , was the fir s t w it n ess called. He said—From information I re ceived respecting the death of Ann Cornell, the w if e of Samuel Cornell, of Barnardiston, who died on Sunday, the 31st of last August, I made a p p li cat i on to the magistrates for authority to disinter th e b o d y, in order that the contents of the stomach might be analyzed, and ascertain, if possible, the cause of death. The body was exhumed on the 18th of this month, and opened by Mr. Stutter, surgeon, of Wickh am .: brook, who forwarded the stomach, &c., to Mr. Image, of Bury St. Edmund's, for analyzation. In conse quence of what I have heard from that gentleman, I now charge the prisoner with administering arsenic to the deceased, Ann Cornell, from the effects of which she died. Mr. Stutter, the surgeon, deposed to being present at the exhumation of the body at Barnardiston, and said—l opened the body and found it had previously undergone a post-mortem examination. The stomach was unconnected with the body, having been opened before and emptied. I opened the intestines to their whole extent ; they contained a quantity of mucus. I examined the kidneys, and took them with the stomach and intestines to Mr. Image for analyzation. The father of the deceased, Charles Hammond, was present when I opened the body. Charles Hammond, the father of the deceased, Ann Cornell, gave evidence of the body exhumed being that of his daughter. Mr. William Edmund Image, the surgeon of Bury St. Edmund's, was then examined.—On the 20th of October I received from Mr. Stutter a large bottle sealed, containing a stomach and intestines, and also another bottle containing some mucus, which Mr. s t S h i t t e i u o m t :s e . e r l th emselves. Z l ll' i l .y h d z e e r p d n a e r t t:s ' e h la tissuesdad n s o e t r 0 scraped undergone t o h ff e t slateo intestines detected the presence of arsenic. I next analyzed th e intestines, and they also contained arsenic, but in much smaller quantities than the stomach. They were inflamed, but little if at all decomposed, which is an important feature in the case. The mucus pro duced did not contain arsenic, if it did, it was in such small quantities as to escape detection. The Chairman—What is your opinion as to the cause of the deceased's death ? Witness—The result of the analysis leads me to the opinion that the deceased died from poison, and that poison was arsenic. The fact of the intestines not being decomposed is a strong corroborative proof of the presence of arsenic. Mary Jarman, formerly Mary Rollinson, daughter in-law of the prisoner, since the attempt on her life has married a labourer named Thomas Jarman. She said—On Saturday, the 30th of August, I was ill at home, at Sowley -green, at Great Thurlow. In the evening I got Mrs. Mitson, a neighbour, to send her little boy for my sister, Ann Cornell, the deceased, to attend me. She came about eight o'clock the same evening. She bad for supper at my place a mass of mutton broth, which I made for myself on the pre vious day. She had it about nine o'clock. At that time she was quite well. I don't recollect whether she had anything besides the broth. She had not taken it long before she became unwell. I made the broth on Friday, and had some of it on that day and Saturday morning, but I did not feel any ill effects from it. I was ill befure I took the broth. My sister was taken very sick, and retched throughout the whole night. The Chairman—Where was the broth kept ? Witness—ln a saucepan, on the hob by the side of the fireplace. The Chairman—Arid where was the prisoner ? Witness—He was in the house the whole evening— by the side of the fireplace mostly. Witness's examination continued—Deceased felt a little better on the following morning, but I don't know whether she had any breakfast, or, if she had, what it consisted of. About 11 o'clock I told her to make a mutton pudding for her dinner. The flour was kept in a trough, in the usual place, and the mutton was close by. The pudding was made, and I saw her eat some of the dough, but none of the meat. Her two children who accompanied her also partook of it, and the three were taken unwell very shortly afterwards. So bad did the deceased become that I was compelled to get Mrs. Chinnery to assist me, and I sent Thomas Jarman for Cornell, the husband of deceased. He came about 5 o'clock, and took her away in a cart. She was .suffering much and could not walk. That was the last time I saw her. She died about 8 o'clock the same evening. Mary Philips, a married woman, who lived next door to the cottage occupied by the deceased at Bar nardiston, was next sworn—On the last day of Au gust the deceased was brought home in a cart with her two children. She had been to see her sister. She was very ill, and could not walk. She was put to bed, and died about 8 o'clock, two hours after she had got home. She was sick, and complained of thirst. I was present when Mr. Baker, the doctor, opened the body on the following Wednesday, at the direction of the coroner. I saw him put all back ex cept something like a liquid, which he gave me, and told me to put away, and which was buried in the garden. (It was a portion of the contents of the stomach.) The body was sewed tip, and on the fol lowing Friday was interred. Benjamin White, an aged respectable-looking man, who described himself as an assistant and kind of ma❑ager of a chemist's shop belonging to a Mr. Daniels, of Great Thurlow, was then called, and said —On the 21st or 22,1 of August I sold an ounce of arsenic to the prisoner, William Rollinson. Mr. Bevan, a magistrate—When you sold him this ounce of arsenic, did he state what he wanted it for ? Witness (somewhat coolly)—No ; really I don't re collect, but it must have been something about the rats and mice. Mr. Bevan—Then you have not the slightest re collection about what he said, excepting that he must have talked about rats and mice ? Witness—No, I don't recollect what he said. It is very likely it was about some mice, for I sold him it so often. Mr. Bevan—Very often, perhaps. Witness—Yes, frequently. Mr. Bevan—How many times? Witness—l can scarcely recollect. Mr. Bevan—More than twelve times, probably ? Witness—Yes, it may be twelve times ; so I can't recollect what was said every time. Mr. Bevan—What were your instructions relative to the sale of arsenic ; had you any from Mr. Daniels? Witness—No, none in particular ; merely to write the word " Poison" upon the paper. The evidence on both cases having closed, The Chairman inquired of the old man whether he had anything to say, at the same time enjoining upon him the usual caution ? The prisoner raised his head, and with tears in his eyes simply muttered out— " No, I have nothing to say. I know nothing about it." The Chairman then informed him that it was their painful duty to commit him for trial at the next assizes for the county, on the twofold charge of murdering Ann Cornell, and attempting to destroy Mary Rol linson, otherwise Mary Jarman. The old man, who was scarcely able to walk, was removed preparatory to being conveyed to the county gaol at Bury St. Edmund's. The unfortunate woman Ann Cornell has left ten children to regret her fate. IRELAND. PRIMATE CULLEN AND THE TENANT LEAGUE. DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—Driven to sheer desperation by the lack of funds, the Executive Committee of the Tenant League have dispatched a foraging party, consisting of four priests and Mr. Lucas, of the Tablet, to scour the country in search of contributions. Drogheda was the first scene of operations, and here the "questors" did themselves tbe honour of waiting on the Primate, "by whom they were mst graciously and favourably received." " His Grace" came down to the tune of a pound sterling, and, what was more to the purpose, he furnished the forages with a letter of mark, which must, of course, prove of invaluable service towards the raising of the required levies. The document was intrusted to the charge of the Very Rev. Mr. Dowling, and reads as follows : "Drogheda, Oct. 27, 1851. "Dear Sir,--I cheerfully add my mite to the col lection now commenced, which has for its object to aid in obtaining legal relief for the suffering agricul tural population of Ireland. Their case is sad indeed. Every man endowed with Christian charity must feel a deep interest in it. It is most desirable to have the matter brought in a full and satisfactory manner before Parliament, with the view to get some nit a,ure adopted by which tbe rights and interests of both proprietors and occupiers of the soil may be regulated and pro tected. It is clear that the present state of things has been most detrimental to both landlord and tenant, and it is undoubted that the country will be irretrievably ruined, unless the Legislature will adopt some wise and just measure to save it. "Wishing you and your colleagues every success in your charitable endeavours to assist the poor and oppressed, I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, PAUL CULLItN. "Rev. Mr. Dowling, P.P., Clournellon." ENCUMBERED ESTATES COMMISSION. The long sales vacation terminates this day, and to-morrow the residue of the estates of Mr. Gustavus Lambert, situated in the county of Westmeath, will be brought under the judicial hammer. The rent roll of the property is about 1,000/ per annum, which will be offered in a number of small lots, and, as the locality is favourable, it is anticipated that fair prices will be realized. THE EXODUS. The Waterford Chronicle contains the following : _ " We anticipated, months past, that the amount of emigrants would increase. In support of our opinion, we regret to state, that the steamers Victory and William Penn were crowded yesterday w ith nearly 500 Irish, destined to the ' free land of the west: The respectability of the emigrants surpassed any we have seen before, and their anxiety to quit this unfortunate and doomed country was evinced by the cheering which they gave when leaving our quay. We have seen letters from some of the emigrants who sailed for Callao, South America, from London, in the fine ship Louisa, at the end of April last. They arrived there on the 20th of July, after a most pleasant voyage. The news they contain is most cheering, and three weeks' experience of the climate has made a most favourable impression on them. One of the letters concludes by saying,—' 'We have nothing to complain of but the absence of our friends and the ignorance of the language, but we will soon overcome such diffi culties."lhis party numbered 180 persons, under the superintendence of Mr. James Grace, of Carlow, late supervisor of inland revenue, whose entire family ac companied him." EXAMPLE FOR LANDLORDS. Under this head the Tipperary Free Press an nounces that Captain James Power, who lately became the p ur chaser, under the In cum b ere d Es tates Court, of the Kilmo re property, h as, a f ter a careful review of its condition, come to the conclusion that the rents were allotted far beyond what the altered circumstances of the cou n t ry rendered it pos sible to pay, and accordingly he red uce d t h e rent o f t enan ts who paid 2/ 5s to 1/. as., and those who held at 1/. 16s. to 1/. per acre, at the same time in forming his tenantry that of the year's rent due in November he would only demand one-half. To these who desired to emigrate, he liberally promised as sistance, and in some few instances his offer was accepted. STATE OF TRADE.
