MARRIAGE OF MISS HELEN FAU CIT. At tho church of St. Nicholas. Brighton, on Monday I morning, was celebrated the nuptials of Miss Helena Ii aucit Saville,.the charming Helen Faucit of the dra matic world, with Mr. Theodore Martin, solicitor —re puted one of the writers in the Edinburgh Review. The ceremony was conducted in a comparatively private manner, though the rumour of it, quiet as it had been kept, drew a considerabl e number of persons to the sacred edifice. The wedding party arrived about ten o'clock, the bells pealing forth merrily on their approach. The bride looked charming, though she appeared much agitated, and was in tears. She wo of orange re a white silk dress tr i mm ed with lace; a wreath encircd he head. and hence depended a rich veil. She mightle have r walked straight from the last act of the Lady of Lyons, so naturally did her costume become her. The bridal party included Mr. and Mrs. John Saville, Mr. and Mrs. mu Ednd Saville, Mr. Diddear, Mr. W. Farren, jun., Mr. and Mrs. Henry Farren, and Mrs. Fawcett, the bride's mother. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. H. M. Wagner, vicar of Brigh ton. Mr. John Saville gave the bride away. The s• signing" bridemaids were the Misses Kate Saville and Eliza Bruce. The ceramony was conducted throug hout in the most serious and= mpressive manner. At itscon elusion the wedding paty returned in their carriag es to t h e Pier Hotel, where an elegant dejeuner awaited them; and soon afterwards the bride and bridegroom departed, via Newhaven, for Paris. LOUIS NAPOLEON AND THE PATENT GL ASS SILVERING COMPANY• The cup exhibited lately at Liverpool, on the occa sion of the Royal Commissioners dining on board the Atlantic with Mr. W. Brown, M.P., and which was ao greatly admired, having been presented to the Pre sident of the French Republic during the present fetes in Paris, its receipt has been thus acknowledged, in Au autograph letter to the patentee of the ingenious invention, of which it is so admirable a specimen. The " portrait" alluded to is that of Queen Victoria, after Wyon's medal, and hence the gallantry and good taste of the reference : Elysee, August 8, 1351. Monsieur, —You have graciously offered to me a very beautiful vase, the production of your scientific re searches. I accept it with great pleasure. The form, the colour, the design, are all in the best taste, and the portrait with which it is embellished gives it the highest value. Will you then be good enough to receive my felicitations, and my best thanks, with the assurance of my most distinguished sentimen Loins NAPOLEON B. Hale Thomson, Esq., 43, Berners-street, Oxford-street, London. SWITZERLAND. The Suisse of Berne, on the subject of the differ ence); with the Austrian authorities, says—" The se co mplications have ari sen in consequence of the in correctness of the reports transmitted by the chiefs of the Austrian posts to their superior commandants. They state that the Austrian soldiers had never set foot on the Swiss territory, and that all the arrests had taken place on the Lombardian territory, whilst the reports transmitted to the Swiss authorities state quite the contrary. Since the Federal Commissioner has been in the canton of Tesino explanations have taken place, and the military authorities show themselves disposed to listen to our remonstrances. As to the principal fact, the seizure of the merchandise and the arrest of the smugglers at Il Pianazzo, Lieutenant- General Giulay is said to have transmitted a decla ration that, even if the fact were doubtful, he would restore the merchandise taken, and release the smug glers, unless it were proved that the right lay entirely on the side of Austria. The most essential point, however, is not mentioned, which is as to who is to be the judge of this fact. It results from the infor mation given by M. Druey to the National Council that the Austrian authorities have not hesitated to order an inquiry, and to give all the satisfaction which has been admitted as due." The German Customs Union having increased the duties on certain articles of the produce of Switzer land, a motion for reprisals, by an augmentation of the duties on morchandizs coming from the States of the Union into Switzerland, was made in the Swiss National Council. This motion, after long discus sions, has been rejected. CRIPATIA. The Osservatore Triestino of the 12th gives an account of an attack made on the 3d inst. upon the village of Bescavalle, in Austrian Croatia, by a body of about 30 brigands. The miscreants, after having, by threats and acts of brutality, forced all the inhabi tants to rrrnain within doors, assailed the house of the curate, am Decanich, and committed all kinds of atrocities. After ransacking every corner of the house, they at last decamped with about 2,600 florins (6,500 c.) in cash, besides plate and other valuable articles. Tne authoritiQs of Bescanuor, on receiving informaion of this daring outrage, immediately dispatched three armed vessels after the brigands, who had been seen getting on board a small vessel, which they had concealed in a nook at a short dis tance from Bescanuova. The result of the chase was still unknown when the mail left.

(From the London New Price Current, Aug. 26.) Su°Aa.—To-day importers of West India Sugar wero not disposed to sell at any further reduction, but the market presented a dull aspect, both grocers and refiners operating with reluctance, a decline would have taken place if sales had been pressed.

WILL of the late EARL of BRIDGEWATER. Lord Cranworth delivered judgment in the Vice- Chancellor's Court last week in a very singular case, connected with the will of the late Earl of Bridge water, who died in 1823. The story deserves a tran sitory notice from the evidence it affords of the keen z-st with which our great aristocratic houses pursue the phantom of increased rank. One should have supposed that men who by their birth are placed in so high it social position as the late Earl of Bridge water could afford to look with complacepcy and indifference at the struggle for rank and sta tion. Our dramatists and novel writers have drawn many amusing sketches of vulgar parvenus, who in the midst of the wealth they may have acquired in vulgar ways, or by a mere freak of fortune, think their felicity incomplete because they are not provided with what sailors call " handles ' to their names. No doubt the spectacle of a pompous and underbred man who is endea vouring through a thousand humiliations to work his way into a class to which he does not belong is ludicrous enough. Still, to a certain degree, such an effort is excusable. It is natural that he should deceive himself as to the happiness which results from an unaccustomed salutation. The House of Peers contemplated from behind a counter in Corn hill may appear as an enchanted region to the eye of the observer. But it would seem well-nigh impossible for those who have lived behind the scenes—nay, who have been actually born in the green-room, to deceive themselves materially as to the real splendour of theat rical properties, or the purity of the diamonds in Queen Hunc amunca's crown. Let us not be misunderstood. When elevation to an upper class in the social scale, or an increase of rank where rank has been once achieved, follows as the natural consequence of heroic actions, or of an eminent civil career, ridi cule and animadversion are out of the question. Let those who have earned the laurel by their great deeds wear it amidst the general applause. In such cases the mere outward mark of social eleva ' tion is the accident of a great man's position—it was not the prospect of a peerage, or of a " step," which nerved his energies through forty years of struggle within the walls of Parliament, or the sad vicissitudes of a protracted campaign. Titles and honours fall naturally on a great man's head ; he does not propose them to himself as the ultimate object of his ambition. " Victory or Westminster Abbey," said England's noblest seaman, in an age of naval paladins, on the eve of one of those fearful contests which have immortalised his name in his country's annals. Compare for a moment such a spring of action as this with the mo tives which operate upon the minds of paltry intri guers for rank—and more rank. We„have great men, and we have make-believe great men. We have heroes who win our battles by sea and land, who extend their country's power and maintain its security ; we have had statesmen who have success fully guided the fortunes of the empire through many a dark day of trial and adversity. On the other hand, we have had gentlemen of England " who have lived at home at ease," who have done nothing but amass money and carry on intrigues, and who have yet contrived to wriggle their names into a higher position in the Red-book than those who have borne the brunt of the day. The explana tion of such a phenomenon is no mystery to those acquainted with the secret traditions of our great fa• rallies. Money, land, electioneering, and conse quently Parliamentary influence, are the engines by which such notable results have been obtained. It is not often, however, that we have the oppor tunity of following up the contortions of vulgar am bition. A steeple-chase for a dukedom over boggy ground is not an every-day spectacle. The late Earl of Bridgewater has been bountiful to his countrymen in this respect. He made his will in 1823, and in it he devised his estates to the late Viscount Alford and his issue ; but upon one condition. If Lord Alford should die without having ac quired the title of a Marquis or Earl of Bridge water, then the limitation of the testate to him self and his heirs was to cease, and the estate Was to pass to other parties named. So with regard to the Earldom of Brownlow. The Earl of Bridge water —poor man !—in the year 1823 passed away to regions where an English marquisate or dukedom is a matter of small account. Lord Alford, however, did not succeed to the estates until 1849, and in January of the present year he too died, without having accomplished the requisite juggle with the decora tions of his coronet. Then the case came before Lord Cranworth. On the one hand the guardians of the late Lord Alford's infant son prayed that the will —or at least the certain portion of it affecting the estates named—might be declared invalid. The child's uncle, the Earl of Brownlow, asked that its va lidity might be affirmed. Passing over the mere legal hair-splitting of "conditions subsequent" and "con ditions precedent," as interesting only to the more dili gent inquirers into contingen tremainders and executory devises, we find this broad position stated and denied by the advocates on either side. A limitation over, with such a condition attached as in the will of the late Earl of Bridgewater, was void in equity, as contrary to public policy. Lord Cranworth, however, decided this matter against the nephew, on the ground " that it could not, in his opinion, be said that the will in duced the devisee to resort to corrupt means for the purpose of obt a i n i ng th e titl e ; on the contrary, such a condition would tend rather to produce good than dis honourable conduct." Had the late Lord Alford lived longen ohuagvhe carr ; the nece s s a ry steps into effect it would purposebeeon fs w a orth his while to unite with his heir for thecrld ificing three-fourths of the estates, that they might hold fraction, s ecure possession of the re mainingWe are not interested in dis- LONDON, cussing the doctrines of equity as propounded by Lord Cranworth, but to a man of plain under standing it would scarcely appear possible to pro pose a greater inducement to rascality and corrup tion. The whole tranaction reads more like a chapter in the "Duc de St. Simon's Memoirs" than as a his tory occuring in our own time. Bend your thoughts day and night upon the noble art of tnoney-getting, said the Roman father to his son in Rome's degene days,— Rem; "Si possis, recta; si non, quocumque modo rem." Such is the language of the late Earl of Bridge. water to his heirs :—" Get a step in the peerage at any price. Here is boundless wealth—hoard it up for all purposes save one, then lavish it with un sparing hand. Rank, rank, hunger and thirst, and lust far rank. Let the strawberry leaves which en circle the ducal coronet never be absent from your waking nor your sleeping thoughts. I indeed cannot hope to wear them. Life is too short for the attainment of so noble an end. But at least I have the satisfac tion of foreknowing, that when my bones are moulder ing in the grave, my descendants—my devisees, if you will—will one day bear that glorious cap for which my heart has yearned in vain." Com pare for a moment this will of the Earl of Bridgewater with the testamentary dispositions of Sir Robert Peel. The late Premier had played at skittles with coronets, but would none of them. Not only would he not accept them for himself, but, should his heir ever feel his veins tingle with the expectation of a" step" in the peerage, there is a warning finger ever raised from beyond the grave, which bids him spurn from him so un worthy, so paltry a thought. And yet Sir Robert had done and said things in bis time which would have entitled him to place his family in the highest position British subjects may attain. A comparison between the will of the mere Lord and the great Statesman is not devoid of interest or instruction.— Morning Paper. WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1851. ceased. I beg leave to state that I would not attend upon this occasion if I had not been summoned. I saw the prisoner at the inquest. Ilts was in uni form each day he attended. I saw there the witness Long and his wife. Long was asked, in my presence, to point out Cole, who was scarcely a yard distant from him. Mrs. Long was near her husband. When Long was asked to point out Cole, he was not able in the first instance to do so. I did not notice whether Mrs. Long said for did anything to her husband. Mrs. Long gave her evidence before me. I went, as one of the jury, to view the place in Plumtree court. I know the position of the house in which Mr. and Mrs. Long lived ; and I also know where the deceased lived. It was not possible, in my opinion, to see from Long's house what took place i❑ the passage of the house in which the deceased lived. I can only form an opinion from having seen the out side. A solicitor attended the inquest on the part of Cole. Mr. Lewis—After the inquest was concluded, did you sign a certificate to the effect that you believed Cole to be innocent of the imputed offence ? The City Solicitor—You had better not take the answer of the witness to that question. It is a ques tion whether the signing of such a paper after the delivery of such a verdict as that which was returned is not an indictable offence. The witness did not answer the question. Thomas Moore, aged 15, brother to Biddy More, who gave evidence on the second examination, said— I live at 23, Pluintree-court, and am a paperstainer out of work. I knew Cogan about four months, and remember the night he died. I saw him that night in Plumtree-court, at about 11 the first time, and about 3 o'clock the last time. lie was then in the court doing nothing. I saw Cole struggling with him in the passage of his own house. Cole had hold of him by the collar, and was trying to pull him out of the passage, and Cogan was trying to keep himself in. I did not see the policeman strike Cogan. This was about 1 o'clock. I did not see any violence that I know of by the policeman, except the struggling. When I saw him at 3 o'clock he and I were sitting on one of Mr. Pontifex's large wheels in the court. When I left him it was halt-past 3 o'clock. I then went up to bed, leaving him in the court. Mr. Lewis—Did you see him climb up to a lamp ? Witness—l did. I saw him climb up one of the lamps in the court at the break of daylight. He got to the top of it. He climbed up by the gaspipe, which was fixed against the wall. He dropped down from the lamp. He fell upon his knees—not upon his head. His head did not go against the wall. It was then about three o'clock—about daylight. It was not a heavy fall. He went up to the lamp to put it out, and he did so. I did not notice whether he lighted his pipe at the lamp. His legs gave under him when he dropped from the lamp. There is a regular lamplighter to put out the lamps in the court. I cannot tell whether Cogan's head, when he dropped from the lamp, was towards the street or the wall. Mr. Lewis—Did you see him get up another lamp afterwards? Witness—l did. Johnny Burke lifted him up to the lamp. Burke stood, and Cogan clam bered up his back to put out the other lamp, and he remained. Burke and another young chap lifted him down. He got down safe, and he seemed as well upon coming down from the second lamp as he seemed upon coming down from the first. When he was coming down from the second lamp Burke said to him, " You are light-headed." That was after the fall. He did not become weak after the fall, as I observed. He did not make any answer when Burke said he was light-headed. Burke stood there in his own passage. fter he " outed" the second lamp the lamplighter came up. Cross•examined by the City Solicitor—l was doing nothing at 11, or 1, or 3 o'clock. I had been at work at home, and I bad not been at Tottenham-court road that day. I first told Mr. Cale, the inspector, of this on Tuesday or Friday morning. Mobbs, a police man, came to me when I was in bed to fetch me to the station-house. I suppose Inspector Cale sent him to look for me. I did not tell Mobbs, but I told In spector Cale. By Alderman Wlnsox—Cogan, when he dropped from the first lamp, fell upon his knees. He did not say that he hurt himself. I dare say he was in his usual good spirits. There was no way for him to climb up the second lamp. Cogan and I, after he had put out the two lamps, sat upon Mr. Pontifex's wheel. I think I left him at his own door. Ia my eyes he appeared quite well. Sarah Fountain—l am a married woman, and have lived in Plumtree court, No. 8, upwards of 12 years. I was up all Saturday night till 4 o'clock Sunday morning washing. 1 have known Cogan about a fortnight. I saw him on Sunday morning, before the gas-light was put out, from my room. I saw him with his right hand upon the iron of the lamp, and his left hand leaning over the lamp. When I got into the court I saw that the lamp was out. The court was noisy all night; but I heard no particular noise that night. Alderman WILSON—You mean that you are so ac customed to noises in the court that you took no particular notice of the noises that night ? Witness —res. 1 heard that Biddy Moore was in a fit, and that the police were with her. You can see down the whole court from my house. I heard of Cogan's death on Sunday morning. I heard that somebody had killed him. William Schofield, lamplighter, said—On Saturday I lighted the lamps in Plumtree-court at half-past eight o'clock. On Sunday morning at a quarter be fore three I went again to the court. I saw Burke standing at the door of No. 9. I did not know Cogan. There are three lamps in the passage into Holborn court. Two of them were out. Burke said they had saved me the trouble,. of putting out the lamp s . I saw Cogan. I did not see the little boy (Moore) who has given evidence. It is no one's duty but mine to put out the lamps. I put my ladder up to see whether the lamps had been properly put out, and I found they were. I did not observe whether, from the ap pearance of the wall, any one had had a fall against it. Here the station-house book of the district was produced. It contained an entry to the effect that a man named Cogan had died soddenly that morning at a house in Plumtree-court ; that the ward-beadle had been informed of the event, and had sent for Mr. Digby, who examined the body, and expressed an opinion that the deceased had not died in consequence of violence. Joseph Nathaniel King, of No. 60, Shoe-lane, said—l was acting at the time of the death of Cogan as ward beadle, and attended the inquest. I saw there Long and his wife, and Cole. I fetched Cole to the inquest on the first day. He was in the police uniform. During the time that long was under exa mination he might have been about two yards from Cole. Mrs. Long was behind her husband, who, upon being asked if he knew Cole appeared to hesi tate, and then his wife pulled his jacket and nudged him. I did not hear her say anything. I separated them. My attention was partly called by Sergeant Pattison and two or three other persons in the room. Cole remained until the close of the Coroner's inves tigation on the first and last days. The Coroner sent me for Cole. Cross-examined by the City Solicitor—Pattison, 87, called my attention to the circumstance. He said that a man had been found dead in Plurntree-court, and there was a report that be was murdered by the police. He made the communication to me between nine and ten o'clock on Sunday morning, and accom panied me to Mr. Digby. He and I went to see the body. It was partly dressed. There was a wound behind the right ear. The skin was slightly broken. I did not see Inspector Cale in the course of Sunday. I saw no other policeman with whom I communi cated on the subject. Mr. Topping said he could not tell what was the cause of death without a post mor tern examination. Ido not remember whether be said the death was caused by external violence. He said it was a fit case for inquiry. The police gave me no tice of the event in the first instance, but I must have heard of it in the course of the day. Cross• examined by the City Solicitor—l did not hear that the man was murdered. There was con gealed blood behind the right ear. The size of the abrasion was, I b e li eve , a b out t h a t o f a sixp .. enny piece. I mean th e s i ze lo f t h e bl oo d, not or the wound. Andrew Pattison—l am a sergeant in the City police force, No. 87. I went on duty on Sunday, the 6th of July. My beat was from Shoe-lane, and from Smithfield, to the boundary of the City. I was in Shoe-lane about a quarter past six o'clock, and saw Lockyer and Dearlove, sergeants of police, who were knocking at the door of the ward beadle, Mr. King, but they could not nuke him hear. Lockyer told me that a man named Cogan had died suddenly in Plum tree-court. I asked him if be knew the case of death, and he replied, he did not. I believe I told him the doctor had been. I after wards accompanied the ward beadle to Mr. Digby, the surgeon's, and saw Mr. Topping, the assistant, who told me that he believed the deceased had died of apoplexy. I made a report of the death at the station-house. I afterwards saw Inspector Cale at the station-house after twelve o'clock, but I am not aware that I made any further communication to him. I attended the inquest, and Long and his wife were there. Long was asked by the Coroner if be could identify Cole, and he replied be could not. Cole was then standing in the room. When asked a second time Long said he could point Cole out, and he did so, but that was after Mrs. Long and Mrs. Lyons had pointed at Cole, Baying " That's the murderer." Mr. Peter Mitchell—l produce a model of Plum tree- court, on a scale of 12 feet to an inch. I made it myself. The height of the lamp-posts is about 10 feet. I have not been in the rooms of the house No. 6, but judging from the outside, and standing at the edge, looking towards No. 28, it is impossible to see into that house. Joseph Marshall—l am constable of the City police, No. 230. I was in Plumtree-court at half-past one or twenty minutes to two on the morning of the 6th 603 of July, I was called there by Cole.

James Waddington, aged 42, and Ann Waddington, his wife, aged 40, were indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Hardy, the daughter of the female prisoner, by administering poison to her, at Manchester, on the 23d of last April. Mr. Monk and Mr. Sowler prosecuted ; and Mr. Pollock defended the prisoners. It appeared that the male prisoner was a lamplighter at Manchester, and lived at No. 1, Boundary-street, and that the deceased, who had lived in service, was the daughter of the female prisoner by another man, and had been the cause of frequent quarrels between them. On the 17th of April last the deceased left her place and went home, and there she was threatened by the male prisoner. On the 23d of April the pri soner and his wife went to Knot-mill fair, and alleged that on their return they found the deceased vomoting and very ill, and said they believed she had taken arsenic to make herself ill, to avoid going out again into service. Next day the deceased was found dead early in the morning, and on a medical man being called in, the appearance exhibited by the body in duced him to analyze some of the matter vomitted by the deceased, the result of which was the discovery of a large quantity of arsenic. A coroner's inquest was in consequence held, and the result was that the pri soners were committed to take their trial on the charge of having poisoned the deceased. It appeared from the evidence of a boy, the son of the prisoner, about twelve years of age, that on the night when the deceased was supposed to have been poisoned, the female prisoner brought the witness his tea to the shop where he was working. She had never done so before. She told him he must take it. On going home his father, the male prisoner, gave him his supper that night. He slept in the same room with his father and mother, with his brother James, and his sister Mary slept in the next room. Next morning, at seven o'clock, his mother told him to go and see if his sister was up ; his father was then in bed. He found his sister sitting on the floor, cold, and could get no answer from her, and he immediately told his mother, who said she was dead, and went and told his father. His father then got up and went into the room, and his mother asked him to lift the deceased on to the bed, but he said she bad better re main where she was till the doctor came. His sister was undressed. Mr. Henry Brown, physician, stated that he was called in to see the deceased on the morning of the 24th of April. He found the body of the deceased dead, the forehead resting on the hands, with the face concealed and resting on the bed. The lips were livid and the lower jaw firmly closed. The body was warm, except the hands. The finger nails blue. He ques tioned the female prisoner what she had had for tea, and learnt that she had had tea and bread and butter, and had been eating nuts all day. He found a chamber utensil vomited nearly full. He requested some of this to be poured into another vessel, but the female prisoner objected, but the male prisoner told her to use a brown bowl that was there. He subjected the contents of the bowl to analysis, and found some spots of white powder in it to consist almost entirely of arsenic. He also found arsenic in solution. He after wards made a post mortem examination of the body, which appeared to be that of a stout and robust young woman in perfect health. The deceased ap peared to have suffered under lock jaw, which was frequently a consequence of arsenical poisoning. The stomach everywhere presented marks of the most vio lent inflammation, and contained about a pint of red dish fluid—no solid matter. He also found portions of a dense white powder adhering to the mucous membrane, under which the stomach was most in flamed. The white powder proved to be arsenious acid mixed with organic matter. In his opinion death had been caused by arsenic. The female pri soner had told him, when questioning her, that she kept arenic in the cupboard, but she did not know whether the deceased was aware of it or not. In his opinion at least 120 grains of arsenic had been taken by the deceased. John Skirrow, a lamplighter, at Manchester, stated that he had bought a waistcoat of the male prisoner, and went with him home on he night of the 23d of April to get it, and heard the female prisoner say that when she and her husband came home from the fair that night they found the deceased lying on her belly between the two rooms, with a pot by her side where she had been vomiting, and she said she had challenged the girl with taking something, as there was arsenic in the house. The male prisoner then said, " What art thou talking about arsenic for ? Thou knows very well there is none here ; and hold thy blab." The female prisoner also said she ima gined the deceased had taken this to avoid going into a situation, as she was an idle, good for-nothing girl. Other two witnesses, named Lee and Martin, both lamplighters, stated that immediately before the death of the deceased the male prisoner asked them if 71. would go far towards a funeral. They saw him after the death of the deceased, and he told them, " Our Mary is dead ; she has died of an apoplexy fit." Several witnesses spoke of having seen the deceased the day before her death, and that she then appeared in robust health and very cheerful. Evidence was also given that the male prisoner and the deceased had frequently been heard quarrelling, and the male prisoner telling her " he had worked long enough f o r her," and the female prisoner had been heard to tell the deceased "to go away, and never let her see her again, as her father and she lived like cat and dog on her account." Witnesses also stated that they had seen the female prisoner with arsenic in the house, which she said had been sent to her by her landlord to put in some colour when they were colouring the house down to cure the house of vermin. It was also proved that the prisoners and the deceased were mem bers of the Chorlton-Upon-Medlock Friendly Union Burial Society, to which the female prisoner gene rally paid the subscriptions of ld. per week. The deceased had been a member about sixteen years at her death; 7/. was paid to the male prisoner. He said the deceased had died of apoplexy, and that they had had Dr. Brown to her. The prisoners, on being taken into custody by Mr. Bee wick, the superintendent of the Manchester P o li ce , and after being cautioned by him as to what they might say, as it might be used in evidence against th em , the female prisoner made the following statement : She and her husband went to the fair together, and left Mary in the house, and she was to have the kettle boiled against our return. We returned a little before seven o'clock, and my husband went to light tho lamps without tea. I went with Thomas's tea to Mr. Bass's. Mary complained of being sick, and she went to bed. I returned in about 10 minutes, and Mary was calling out for water. I took her some tea, and at eight o'clock she called for some morn water and a candle. At half-past nine o'clock my husband came home, and shortly afterwards he went to bad. I looked in Mary's bedroom as we passed. At 20 minutes to three o'clock on the follow ing morning my husband was called up to light the lamps, and after he was gone Mary came into my bed. She lay with me some time without speaking. She put her arms around me. I then told her that her father would be coming in soon, and that she had better go to her own bed. Miry then said, " Those nuts have made me very thirsty." I go t up a b ou t seven o'clock and went into Mary's bedroom. She lay upon the floor, with the clothes wrapped around her. I put my hand upon her; she was very cold. I called my husband, and we found her dead. He wan t f or Dr. Brown, who stated that she died of an apopleti c fit. Wit ness as ked her if she had any poison in the house, and she said that she had not ; that about two years ago she had taken a house from Mr. Appleby, which required to be cleaned down ; that she had received some arsenic from him, had used a part, and put the remainder in the cupboard ; and that on the Friday previous she was cleaning down the house, she found the arsenic and had thrown it into the fire. Witness asked her if her daughter knew where the arsenic was kept, and she said she did not, but she knew she had some. The male p rieoner stated that he had been to the fair with his wi.'e, and when they returned they found Mary lying cin the floor. She appeared to be sick, and had an apr( In to her mouth. He went to light the lamps, and ret urned shortly after. A little after two o'clock on the f °flowing morning he was called up, and, after extingu is,hing the lamps, he returned with Skirrow to give him, a waistcoat; and that at about seven o'clock his wife: called Thomas to call up Mary to make a fire, and the boy came back stating that she was dead upon the floor, and they both went into the room to gether; And he then went to call Dr. Brown. A coroner's inquest was afterwards held. Mr. PoLLocz then proceeded to address the jury for the defence, contending that there was no evidence to show concert between the parties, and that the evidence entirely failed to show that the poison had been administered to the deceased by either of the prisoners. The Learned Counsel did not conclude his address. until eight o'clock last night, and His LO3D3IIII` then intimated that he would not then proceed further with the case. The jury were therefore locked up until this morning. This morning Mr. Baron PLATT proceeded to sum up the evidence, which he went through with great , care. The jury retired, and after an absence of two hours returned with a verdict of Not Guilty. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIL LIAMS and a Special Jury.) SAUNDERS (ADMINISTRATRIX) v. THE CITY OF DUBLIN STEAM-PACKET COMPANY. This was an action on the case, under Lord Camp bell's Act, brought by the widow of the late Mr. W. Saunders, secretary to the Limerick and Waterford Railway Company, to recover compensation in da mages for the loss of his life, which was alleged to have been occasioned by the negligence of the defend ants' servants, on board whose steam-packet he was at the time of the accident which occasioned his death. The defendants pleaded "Not Guilty." Mr. Roebuck, Q.C., and Mr. Cowling appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Watson, Q.C., Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Paget for the defendants. Jt appeared that the deceased was the secretary of the Limerick and Waterford Railway Company, and formerly had a salary of 6001. a-year. That, how ever, had been reduced to 3001., but the deceased de iit.ed to accept this sum. The deceased was a mar ried man and had six children, and it appeared from the evidence was an extremely able man of business. On Sunday, the Ist of December, the deceased took his passage from Kingstown by one of the defendant's boats (the Ebland) for Holyhead. They left Kings town about one o'clock in the afternoon. The pas sage was rough, and they arrived at Holyhead at 42 minutes past six. It was then dusk. The gangway of the boat was opened as they approached to the jetty, and the deceased while walking across the ve3sel was supposed to have stumbled, and fell through ;be open gangway, which it was alleged could not have happened had the company's servants taken proper care. He disappeared, and there was a cry raised of " Man overboard," and a sailor threw him a lifebuq. There was great confusion on board, and a boat put off to him by which the body was recovered, bet: he was found to be dead. For the defence it was contended that, the boat being late, there was great anxiety to get ashore to save the express mail train, which started for London exactly at seven, and the railway station was more than a mile from the jetty; that the deceased was seen to walk deliberately to the open gangway, seize hold of a rcpe, and get outside the gangway on the ledge or sponson, apparently to be ready to jump ashore ; that while there he fell into the water, and that the accident arose in no respect from the negli gence of the defendant's servants. A number of witnesses were called to prove these facts. Mr. ROEBUCK having been heard in reply, 1118 LORDSHIP, in summing up, directed the jury that, if they should find that the unfortunate gentle ma❑ bad lost his life by the negligence and careless ness of the defendant's servants, and that he could nut have avoided it by taking reasonable care and caution, they wou.d return a verdict for the plaintiff. The jury had not returned a verdict when our dis patch left. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. The investigation into the circumstances of the charge made against Benjamin Cole, City policeman, 845, of having caused the death of William Cogan, in Plumtree-court, Shoe-lane, on the morning of July 6, was resumed. Alderman Wilson presided. The City Solicitor attended to conduct the inquiry, and Mr. Lewis appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Lewis proceeded to call the witnesses for the prisoner, whose evidence is given in substance below. A. model of the court in which the violence is sup posed to have taken place was exhibited in the justice , MOM. John Bale, inspector of the City police, said, I know Plutntree-court sufficiently well to say that the model produced is a fair representation of it. I see two pieces of card in the model, representing, one of them a pigeon -box, and the other a board, in the window of the room inhabited by Long and his wife, who have been examined in this case. The pigeon box and board had been there for years, I should say. The model ground was measured between three and four o'clock in the morning, and by two o'clock of the afternoon of the same day the pigeon-box and board were removed. Long's house is No. 6. The house in which I saw the deceased is No. 28, and a person in Long's room could not see the passage of that house. By daylight the door of No. 28 could be seen from No. 6, but not by night. The model was taken on the day previous to the last examination. I cannot say whether the box and board would obstruct the view. On the night of the death of the deceased I sa w Williams, and had a conversation with him in the presence of policeman 258. The conversation had relation to this transaction, and I conceived it to be connected with my public duty to make inquiry. Williams said he had heard the deceased say he would change his coat to cheat the " coppers," and they would not know him, and that he did change his coat and go downstairs. Cross-examined by the City Solicitor—l first heard that one of the police was suspeeted of having killed this man after the first day on which the coroner's inquest was held, and I considered it to be my duty, as chief officer of the district in which Plumtree court is, to visit the court, and the house, and the man who was dead, taking with me a person to witness all that transpired, at six o'clock on the evening of the day of the death. The body was lying in the back attic of No. 28, which was Williams's as well as Cogan's room. I did not hear on that day that it was imputed to the police that they had killed the man, nor did I hear that they had beaten him with their staves. Webb is the name of the person I took with me to be present as a witness. He is a policeman. He was not one of the policemen on duty on the night in question. The names of the policemen on duty in Plumtree-court on that night are Cole (845), who took one part of the court as far as the steps, and Lockyer (264), who has in his beat the place called Holborn-place, in which th e h ouse N o . 2 8, i s situate. Marshall (policeman 230) was not upon duty in the court, but I understand he was there. When I was making the investigation in company with my witness 1 did not see Lockyer, Cole, or Marshall. I had not seen any one of them up to six o'clock in the evening, when I began to investigate. I first heard of the death of the deceased about ten o'clock on the morning of the Sunday. To the best of my knowledge I was first told of it by Sergeant Patti son. He simply said he understood that a man had died suddenly in Plum tree-court, and upon that I in structed him to put the matter in possession of the ward authorities. That is the course we adopt when we hear that a man dies suddenly and not by vio lence. We would do so if a person died of apoplexy. Deliberately and upon reflection, I say that Sergeant Paulson said the man had died suddenly, and he did not tell me that it was stated he hed died by violence or an accident. "He died suddenly," were the words. No one else communicated with me upon the subject. flaying put the matter into the hands of the ward authorities, whose duty I considered it to be to undertake fhe investigation, I did not consider it to be my duty to pursue the inquiry farther. I inspect the book in the station-house in that district. I cannot positively say whether there is an entry in the station-house book of this case. We do not ne cessarily make entries of cases of sudden death. I did not at the time inspect the book. I had heard it rumoured that the death of the man was imputed to the police, but I cannot say who told me so. I heard it from persons I fell in with. The name of a police man was not mentioned as having committed the act. Tae rumour was brought to me after my visit to Williams's with my witness. I believe I heard it before the first day of the inquest. I did not on Monday, after having received the information, see either Lockyer or Cole, nor did I make inquiry of them as to what they knew of the circumstances. Lockyer, Cole, and Marshall are night duty men. I wish to explain that they are off duty at six in the morning, and I believe on that day that I came on duty at ten in the morning. Re-examined by slr. Lewis—The night officers go off duty at six in the morning for rest. Not the slightest suspicion was pointed at these men at all. The notice was given to the ward authorities by me for the purpose of causing an inquest to be held, if necessary. If I had read the occurrence-book, and seen any account of a sudden death, then I should not have ac t e d diff eren tly from that which I have done. By Alderman Wu...sox—To the best of my belief Sergeant Paulson said he obtained his information from Night-Sergeant Buckingham, who was on duty that night. Paulson was not on duty at the time. James Herbert Cooke said—l am one of the mem bers of the jury which sat upon the body of the do- found Biddy Moore and some other girls. Lockyer, a police-constable, was also there. The girls said, " Here comes the coppers." They ran up the stairs of No. 28, Lockyer and myself pursuing them. I went into the room after her and fetched her down stairs, and her brother then took her home. Neither Cole nor Lockyer was at this time using any violence towards the deceased, Cogan. Mr. Alderman WiLsoN—Did they bring Biddy Moore down stairs by the hair of her head ? Wit ness—No, she walked before me. I heard Biddy Moore say that Lockyer went into the room after her. It was not Lockyer; It was I who went in. Mr. Alderman WiLsoN—Was any one in the pas sage besides you as you were coming down ? Witness —I did not notice. Mr. Alderman WlLsoN—Where was Cogan at the time ? Witness—Standing at the corner of the court eating, some bread and meat. He took no part in the disturbance made by the girls. Mr. Alderman WiLsoN—What were Cole and Lockyer doing when you were upstairs with Biddy Moore ? Witness—l was the first that went upstairs. Lockyer followed me. I looked behind to see if Cole was following as well, but I cannot say whether he came up or remained below stairs. Mr. Alderman WiLsom—Then what became of Cole, or what he did while vou were upstairs, you do not know ? Witness—No. When I came down, and Biddy Moore's brother took her away, I and the other two policemen went on our beats. Mr. Alderman WlLsoN—When you and Lockyer came down together, Biddy Moore walking before you, where was Cole ? Witness—ln the court, a few doors off. William Lockyer, police-constable 264—1 was examined at the Coroner's inquest. I saw the de ceased in Plumtree•court up to two o'clock on the morning of his death. He was talking to two others. I said to them, " Come, my lads, it's time for you to get away now." They moved away ; and when I got to the corner I think I saw them return to the spot where they were standing when I passed them. Ido not remember seeing Cogan at No. 28. I was not at No. 28, nor did I turn my bull's-eye into the passage of 28. During the time I was in the court I did not see any violence committed on the person of the deceased by Cole or Marshall. I did not commit any myself. I did not pull Biddy Moore down stairs by the hair of her head, although I, in company with Marshall, went upstairs after her. She came down assisted by another woman, otherwise she would have fallen from top to bottom, being intoxicated. Mr. Alderman WlLsoN—What induced you two policemen to go upstairs after Biddy Moore? Wit ness—There was another girl with her, and I knew they did not live there. A woman had called out to me, " Turn them out ; they don't live in the court : " _ _ Mr. Alderman WILSON--Where was Cole at this time ? Witness—Outside, near the door. Mr. Alderman WILSON—Where was Cogan at this time ? Witness—l never saw him till two o'clock. Mr. Alderman WlLSON—Suppo3ing any scuffle to have taken place in the passage, a policeman using his staff, and any person to have called out " For God's sake don't murder me," must you have heard it? Witness—l must; lam positive of it. Mr. Alderman WILSON—Are you prepared to state that no scuffle took place ? Witness—When upstairs I could not see what was doing below, but I am con fident I must have heard something of it if a scuffle had taken place or violence bad been used. Mr. Alderman WILSON—How long were you up stairs ? Witness—Not five minutes. Mr. Alderman WlLsoN—What kept you so long as five minutes ? Witness—A minute or two soon slips away ; perhaps we were not up stairs so long. Henry Webb, police-constable 258—1 accompanied Inspector Cale at the time of his making inquiries re specting the death of Cogan. I have heard his evi• dente to-day, and it is a correct statement of every thing that occurred. Charles Andrews—l live at 62, Shoe-lane, and am a pewterer. I was at the inquest. Long and his wife were there. I heard the Coroner ask Long to luok round and see if he could point out the police man who was charged with having caused the death of Cogan. Long was confused, and stated he could not. His wife then pulled him by the jacket, which caused him to look at Cole, whom he then pointed out as being the policeman. The summoning officer then separated them. lat the time communicated to Sergeant Pattison what I had observed. John Moss, police-constable 225—1 t is utterly im possible to see from the window of Mrs. Long's house anything that takes place in the passage of No. 28. Mr. Lewis said he had now concluded his case. The City Solicitor thee proceeded to comment upon the evidence that had been adduced on behalf of the defendant. Mr. Alderman WILSON—We have no evidence as to deceased going up to bed. Before I make up my mind in this case I wish to read through the whole of the depositions taken here, as well as those before the Coroner, and, as the preparation of them must necessarily take a few days, I shall remand the pri soner for a week. Thu prisoner was then remanded upon the former bail. WORSHIP-STREET. George Tyssen, conductor of one of the Exhibition omnibuses running to the Lower-road, Islington, was charged before Mr. Hammill with the following scan dalous conduct towards one of his passengers : Mr. Edward Hoey, proprietor of the Beehive Tavern, in the New North-road, stated that about eleven o'clock on the night of Monday, the 11th inst., he hailed the defendant near the Bank, and having ascertained from him that the vehicle passed his house, he was about to enter it, when the defendant pushed him rudely on one side, and observing in an insulting tone that he was intoxicated, told him that he might rids outside if he pleased. There was not the slightest ground for such a scandalous imputation, and he insisted upon entering the vehicle, in which there were only five passengers, but had no sooner taken his seat than the defendant assailed him with the most scurrilous epithets, and on his demanding his number refused to exhibit his badge. He con tinued the same insulting behaviour throughout the journey until he reached Hoxton Church, where the other passengers alight e d, an d th e d e f en d an t peremptorily ordered him to get out also, although it was at least half a mile from the end of the de fendant's destination. On his refusing to do so the defendant renewed his offensive conduct, thrust out his tongue, and made a disgusting noise with his mouth, but proceeded a few yards further, when he ordered the driver to turn the vehicle round, and again insisted upon his getting out. To avoid any further insult and annoyance he did so, although 200 yards from his house, which the vehicle ought to have passed, and again demanded a sight of the defendant's badge, which the defendant still refused to exhibit, but he succeeded between the gas lamps in obtaining the number of the omnibus, and felt it a public duty to adopt the present proceedings, although the driver had twice called upon him to induce him to compromise the case. In answer to the charge the defendant entered into a rambling statememt , the substance of which was that the complainant was intoxicated, to which, he added, his attention was directed by the other passen gers, and called the collector at the toll-gate to estab lish the defence, who deposed to hearing an observa tion from one of the passengers to that effect, and that from the appearance of the complainant he believed him to be intoxicated. The witness, however, admitted that the omnibus was turned round in the manner de scribed, and proceeded no further, although about half a mile short of the end of its journey. The complainant here stepped forward, and after indignantly repelling the aspersions of the defendant and his witness, stated that the latter had committed gross perjury, as he was the only p assenger l e f t i n the vehicle at the time, the whole of the other pas sengers having alighted at least 200 yards from the toll-house. Mr. B. bent Broomfield, a respectable tradesman at Kingsland, was then called, and proved that the com plainant was perfectly sober on reaching his house on the night in question, although greatly irritated at the insulting conduct he described as having been prac tised towards him. _ _ _ Mr. HAMMILL said that he felt perfectly satisfied, after hearing the evidence, that the c harge of intoxi cation alleged against the complainant was totally without foundation, and that the defendant had been guilty of a most gross and insulting outrage, to mark his sense of which he should commit him, without the interposition of any penalty, for 21 days to the House of Correction. The defendant strongly entreated that the punish.. ment might be commuted for a pecuniary p ena lt y , but the magistrate refused to listen to the application, and the defendant was conveyed away in the van. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, AUG. 26. STocx Excommyt.—The market continues dull, and busi ness difficult to effect. The only transaction reported to-day was —Dlidland, 6 per cent., 128.
