'ROYAL SURREY GARDENS.— The GUIDES' BAND by gracious permission of his Majesty Leopold the First, King of the Belgians. PROSPECTUS. M. JDLLIEN has great satisfaction in announcing that, after having endeavoured for the last four years to introduce the cele brated Musique Militaire des flutdes du Roi des Beiges to the English public, he has this year succeeded in obtaining his Majesty's gra cious permission. His Majesty has gracious'y allowed this magnifi cent corps de musique to proceed to London for a very limited perird, prior to the marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte with his Imperial Highness the Archduke Maximilian of Austria. Itis unnecessary for M. Jullien to inform those of his patrons who have travelled on the Continent of the immense and deserved repu tation of this splendid military orchestra, which is considered one of the most perfect in Europe. For the public in general, the following remarks may not be considered superfluous. The Band of the Guides was incorporated in 1831. upon the acces- Sten of his Majesty King Leopold ; and that of the Guides Imperiaux of France was framed on its model, in 1852, by his Imperial Majesty Napoleon the Third. Most of the artists comprised in this Band are pupils of the Con- Servatoirs of Brussels, under the direction of the celebrated M. Fetis. Its perfection of ensemble and the individual talent of its members have been so universally acknowledged. that for the last twenty Years it has been regarded as a nursery whence the orchestras of the principal musical institutions in Europe have drawn their best per formers on wind instruments. Among those artists formerly en gaged in it, and who have obtained the greatest success in M, Jul lien's Orchestra, may be cited the celebrated flutist Reichert, the emi nent clarionists Wuillic and Lafosee ; the trumpet, Duheme ; the French horns, Simar and Stennenbrugen ; and many others of European renown. In fact, M. Jullien, who has heard nearly all the Principal bands of the different courts of Europe, can assert, without fear of contradiction, that there are but two which can fairly com pete with the Guides of Brussels, viz., the Banda of the Imperial Marines of Trieste, and the Guides Imperiaux of Paris. The Band is composed of upwards of fifty artists, under the per- Sonal direction of their renowned conductor, M. Bender. M. Jullien will be absent during the short time they remain in London, but he earnestly invites his patrons, the nobility, the public, the press, and particularly the military authorities. to avail them selves of an opportunity which may never occur again. The expe rience of the Allied armies during the late war indisputably proved that a proper orgarisation of military bands is a matter of more im portance than some persons were disposed to think. How often was the spirit of the troops roused and elevated by the inspiring strains Of martial music, or depressed for want of such a stimulus. The influence of music in education, civilisation, and even in Politics, is not sufficiently appreciated. M. Jullien has passed his life in studying its effect upon the people. After the continental revolutions of 1848, he witnessed, every evening, rnd for a consi derable period, how great was the influence of that magnificent and immortal hymn, " God save the Queen," in consolidating and augmenting the affection and respect of the English na tion for their beloved Sovereign. On the other hand, he saw, amidst the unfortunate events in his own country, the enormous power exercised over the masses by the terrible effects of the Mar seillaise. But the present occasion will not admit of further dissertation on the influence of the divine art over nations and their rulers. 3f. Jullien hopes and desires that some more able pen will take up a question of such public importance. Meanwhile he confidently trusts that all those who feel an interest in the subject will, on hear ing the Guides' Band, agree with him that some improvements may be introduced in this country with regard to military music. M. Jullien attempted a step towards progress in that direction, by establishing, 14 years ago, and for the first time in England, a mili tary journal, containing many of the best compositions of Beethoven, 3fozart, Mendelssohn, and other great masters. It has since been received monthly by all the military bands in the service of her Majesty, and in that of the honourable East India Company. Aided by the late improvements in musical instruments, it has been one of the means in effecting that visible change for the better which has already taken place. The engagement of the renowned Band of the Guides is a further step in the same direction, and M. Jullien fully expects that it will be so appreciated; as he has, personally, no other interest in the matter than the continual progress of the art. lie therefore hopes that all those who desire the advancement of music in all its branches will testify their approval of his conduct by supporting with their influence, and honouring with their presence, the per ormance of the Guides' Band at the Royal Surrey Gardens.

By Mr. Bodkin—He could not say' when the pipes were cleaned out before. When he wanted to improve the lights he had the gas pipes cleaned out. By the Coroner—The wire was pushed to put on the red light, and a person sitting on the wire would cause the substitution of the white for the red light. Mr. Burgon said he should be in a position to - show that the effect of the persons pressing on the wire that night was to shift the lights. By the Coroner—Witness had no occasion to go to the end of the train before the accident, and that was why he did not know if there was a red light there. By Mr. Bodkiii--He believed there was nothing to justify the engine -driver entering the station on Sunday night in the manner he did. By a Juror—He was unable to state the speed at which the 9.30 train entered the station. By the Coroner—lt appearel to enter the station at a faster speed than was usual for a stopping train. The speed of entering a train depended much on the state of the weather. By Mr. Bodkin—There is great traffic on Sunday nights. By the Coroner—He considered the distance signal the commencement of the station. After stopping a train at the distance signal, and the driver saw no train a-head, he might advance to the semaphore signal. If the driver of this train had noticed the red light, and not the train on the line, he was justified in coming on to the semaphore signal The Coroner then called for Wild, the signal-man. Mr. Bodkin—He is in custody, undergoing ex amination before the magistrate. William Wiley, guard, No. 20, deposed that he was guard of the 9.15 train from Strood on Sunday night. The train was late, owing to five minutes' stoppage at Woolwich, and five minutes at Charl ton, for all clear signals. The train arrived at Lewis ham at 10.38. The train ought to have run through the station, but it was stopped in conse quence of the danger signal being on. Witness put his liteak on. as soon as he saw the signal, bu.,,t find ing the pace slackened, and the driver ring care fully, he took off his break. The train ettpped about 100 yards within the distance signal, and shortly after stopped dead. He got out and stood behind his break in the rear of the train. There was a red tail-light on the off side of the train, and he had his red hand-light with him. Witness went back a little and saw the Beckenham train go to wards London. He heard a train coming, on which he ran forward, waved his lamp, and whistled with his fingers. He was standing on the down line. His reason for using his fingers in whistling was, that he could make a louder noise than if he used the company's whistle. He shouted, whistled, and waved his light, but the driver of the train did not appear to notice him. When he turned round he saw the distance signal. He did not see it flicker. The distance signal could be seen at all times shortly after leaving Blackheath. He had seen it from Blackheath station. The steam of an engine going through a tunnel or under a bridge impeded the sight of this signal. The train was de layed 18 or 20 minutes before the collision. He was on the down line all the time, and he was un able to say if any of the passengers left the train. He believed one or two of the off doors were not locked ; the keys did not fit them, and there was not time to lock them before they left Strood. The train passed him at the usual speed of 20 miles an hour—the speed of a train about to stop at Lewisham. It was down an inclined plane. The stoppage of a train depended on the engine, length of train, and the weather. Some trains could be stopped within 100 yards, whilst others required 300 yards. He eonsideredi it was the duty of the station-master to give orders for the advance, &c., of a train "stopped" within the distance signal ; he also considered the train protected when it got within the distance signal, and that it was not his duty to go back half-a-mile and put fog signals on the lines. He had his fog signals in his pouch when he walked back towards the train, but there was not time then for him to place fog signals on the line. [A. portion of the following appeared in our impression of yesterday Mr. C. J. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, re sumed the inquiry yesterday morning at the Plough, Lewisham, into the deaths of the eleven.unfortu nate individuals who lost their lives on the North Kent Railway on Sunday night last. Mr. Bodkin, instructed by Mr. Rees, solicitor to the South Eastern Railway Company, who work the line, attended to watch the case on their behalf. Mr. Burgon, for the engine-driver and stoker ; Mr. Soloman for the relatives of Mrs. A Wilcox and Miss M. A. Howe, sisters • Mr. W. J. Scott, for the relatives of Mr. T. Franklyn ; Mr. Norton, of the firm of Norton, Son, and Elam, for the rela tives of H. and T. Turner (brothers-in-law) ; Mr. Armstrong for the relatives of Frincis Drake. The Hon. J. Byng, chairman of the board of directors of the South-Eastern Railway Company, was present during the day. The first witness examined was Mr. John Nel son, station-master, Lewisham—He deposed that on Sunday night the 9.15 train from Strood ar rived at the distance signal, Lewisham, about 10.40 to the best of his recollection. It ought not to have stopped, but have run through the station about 10.20. He did not know the cause of its de tention. The train drew up at the signal distance pest because the danger signal was up, in conse quence of the line being blocked between the Junc tion station and the Lewisham station. It drew up within the distance signal, the head of the train being about 40 yards from the station master. Witness went to the train to see if there was room in it for the passengers left behind by the last train, making arrangements for stopping any up train ; finding there was no room in the train,. he. did not have it brought to the station. He then went to the signal box, and saw the signal "stop all up," from the junction. He then tapped at the instrument two or three times, but received no reply. He went out and saw the signals up for the Mid Kenc train to be let out first. The train remained stationary from 10.40 till 10.55, when he saw an engine from Lewisham dart through the bridge with two white lights in front. He was much alarmed, an.' before ho could jump off he heard the collision. He ran down and seeing the frightful nature of the accident he went to the driver of the 9.30 train that ran into the other, and said to him, " How is this, how came you to run past the red light?" He replied, "It's a bad job, Mr. Wilson, I did not see the red light in sufficient time to pull up." Witness then saw Abbott, the head guard of the train running towards the station ; he desired him to run down to stop anything coming up. A thought then occurred to him to recall Abbott, which he did, and asked him to examine the distance signals. Abbott replied, " That is all correct, I saw it plainly." Witness replied, " Never mind," and asked him to go with him ; they went to the signals and found them correct. Witness went back to the signal box, where he found Wild ; he looked at the telegraph needles and saw that they stood " stop all up." He asked Wild, " How's this ;" Wild replied, " I can't say—Blackheath gave me two beats on the instrument, to which I gave no reply as the needle stood " stop all up ;" two beats indicated that the up train was ready to start, but on receiving no reply the train ought not to have been started, and the Blackheath station-master ought not to have detained it. If an answer had been given for the train to proceed, one beat would have been sufficient ; that might have been given without altering the needles pointing " stop all u Two dials were produced and the working of the instruments explained by a gentleman connected with the railway electric signals company. It ap peared to be the most perfect plan that possibly could be devised for safety by the prevention of a collision. To the instrument is affixed a gong and a bell for giving notice to e ich station, the gong being struck for down trains and the bell for the up trains, and on no occasion could they be struck by mistake. If Lewisham signalled to Blackheath " stop all up," the latter could not have altered it until another signal from Lewisham that the line was clear. Blackheath, with two beats, should have called the attention of Lewisham to the train being ready, and even admitting Lewisham might have given a wrong signal pro vision was mado for rectifying such a mistake before the trains leaving. The signals were struck by the pressure of a button and not by clock work, which gave a distinct striking that could not be mistaken in counting. The evidnce of Mr. Nelson was then resumed — The last entry he found in Wild's book was the signal of the 9.15 train then standing in the station ; it is the duty of the man at the instrument to immediately enter the signals he receives, and he had entered that the train had left Blackheath. Wit ness drew a line and wrote his name under it, te'l ing the signal man to enter all further signals he received under it. The danger signal on e post that stopped the 9.10 train was in the same state when the 9.30 train arrived that ran into it. The signal post was under the care of Wild, and could not have been tampered with by any one during the 20 minutes that elapsed. He believed it had not been tampered with. If it had been tampered with he or Wild must have known it. (The signal book was produced and examined by the coroner and jury.) By a juryman—The Lewisham Junction danger signal could not be seen at Blackheath, but the distance signal that stopped the 9.15 train could be seen there ; the Blackheath station master had told him so. Witness desired Wild not to interfere with the signals to Blackheath, but to let them remain as they were. There being great confusion he went to the assistance of the sufferers. Saxby was in charge of the signals, whilst he sent Wild to the train. He believed he did not alter them ; the train was standing at the proper place wben the collision occurred. Perry alluded to the distance signal when he said he could not see the red light. It was a clear night, and the signals could be dis tinctly seen. He believed the driver (Perry) was sober. 'Witness did not notice the state of the breaks. It was the duty of the man Wild, who attended the electric signals, to work the other signals. He signalled of his own accord though under his (witness's) personal orders. The 9.56 Woolwich train was the first cause of the stoppage. It was stopped at New Cross for the collection of tickets. The great mischief occurred to a, third class carriage in front of a break van. This was an open third-class carriage ; had it been a covered carriage no doubt it would have better resisted the accident. By Mr. Burgon—lt would not have been a prudent thing for the guard of the stationary train to have gone back and put fog signals on the rails, because he was waiting for a signal to proceed. If he had deemed it prudent to do so he should commu nicate wi th the driver to wait for him. In this case he ought not to have done so because the train was expecting to start every minute. He did not know that the telegraph signals were auxiliary signals. They had been used on the line ever since he had been on it. In the absence of the telegraph signals he thought the guard ought not to have gone back. He thought a danger signal sufficient protection for a train about to remain two or three minutes. If it were to remain half an hour_li e e thought then the fog signals should be used. e _l; r l a telegraph signals of " clear all up" were entenr2ads box, and then communicated to the statio_ue en t gine who would inform the guard, and he th driver. If " all clear" was indicated, a train . be and it be fore it was started, would be signalled, often started before an answer could be returned. He denied that the 9.15 train passed the distance signal at a speed of five miles an hour. The driver . of that train passed it and came on to the Sema phore signal. I t was the practice on the line for dother t rams not to treat the non-stopping an ° si gnal or a stopping signal without any distance thing else occurred, but to 'come on to the sema phone signal... He called to Abbott to look to the si gnals in justification of his conduct that all was right • there had been complaints of the state of the signal from engine drivers. Hill might have com plained of it two days before the accident occurred, but he did not recollect it. He did not notice on Sunday night the passengers get out of the train, and that they pressed on the wires of the signals as they sat on the bank ; the effect of sitting on the wire would be to strain it, and probably swing round the signals ; the wires werenot protected from the public. Where the train stopped the wires of the signals were close to the ground. Plans of the Lewisham and Blackheath stations, with the curves, signals, &c., were put in and pro ved by Mr. Curtis Edwards, eng ineer o f th GraasV t eS o end, who was also examined at some leng signal at there relative distances. The distance. t was 281 Lewisham could be seen at Blackheath ; the semaphore yards between the distan ce and but not litlfiluelA to signal the line slightly curved By Mr. Burgon—He could have done it if he had gone back immediately after the train stopped, but he did not consider he was required to do so. The pa.sengers were not unusually noisy for Sunday passengers. By Mr. Norton—One red light was placed at the tail of ordinary trains. If an express train was to follow two red tail lights were used. By Mr. Burgon—He had heard engine drivers say they had been on duty 18 hours a day ; the longest time he had been on duty was on Sundays. It lasted from 'half-past 7 o'clock in the morning till 11 or half-past 11 o'clock at night, with an in terval of two hours. After some further evidence, the inquiry was ad journed. Photographs, taken by direction of the company of the line, by Mr. Beard, the photographist of King William-street, were produced before the jury, showing that the signals at Lewisham were distinctly visible at distances greater than ne cessary for the driver to bring his train to a stand, and one of the photographic views was taken from an engine placed on the main line of the railway at the Blackheath Station, a distance of three-quarters of a mile ; the other from the engine when at the distance of 800 yards from the Lewisham station. In both views the danger signal was most clearly delineated, and, in one, the guard who ran back on the night of the accident to warn the approaching train was also most accurately represented, as holding out his lamp as a signal of danger. CRICKET. GRAND FETE AT ENVILLE HALL. The annual fete at Enville-Hall, the seat of the Earl of Stamford, under the direction of Mr. Mitchell, of Old Bond-street, has on this occasion been most successful. The instrumental band, under the direction of M. Theo dore Hermann, was present, and enlivened the scene by their performance of a selection of new and popular music. The A s hton-under-Lyne Juvenile Band also performed several of their pieces, and acquitted themselves in a manner which reflects great credit on their master, Mr. Haynes. The noble earl, with his wonted liberality, has spared ❑o expense for the comfort and amusement of his distinguished guests. The details were admirably carried out by the indefatigable Mr. Nimmo.

The trial of Madeleine Hamilton Smith for the murder of Pierre Emile L'Angelier was resumed at the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, this morning at 10 o'clock. The prisoner still looked fresh and animated, but in the course of the day became a little • more restless and excited than she had been previously, and particularly when her former school companion, Miss Buchanan, and the gentleman to whom she was latterly engaged, Mr. Minnoch, were in the box. Charles O'Neill deposed to the accuracy of a plan of the house, 7, Blythswood-square, which he had drawn. It showed that Mr. Smith, father of the prisoner, occupied a house consisting of a street floor and sunk floor, Mr. Min noch and Mr. Douglas residing in the floors above. The house was situated in the corner of Blythswood-square and Main-street, into which several of the windows looked, and among others the bedroom windows of Miss Smith in the lower and partially sunk floor. Any person putting his arm through the grating could tap at Miss Smith's win dow there, and if anything was let fall it would fall about the level of the sill of the window, and any person inside could easily take it in. The declaration of the prisoner was then read. It was as follows : "My name is Madeleine Smith. lam a native of Glas gow, 21 years of age, and I reside with my father, James Smith, architect, at No. 7, Blythswood•square , Glas g ow. For about the last two years I have been acquainted with P. Emile L'Angelier, who was in the employment of W. B. Huggins and Co., in Bothwell-street, and w ho lod g ed at 11, Franklyn-place. He recently paid his addresses to me, and I have met with him on a variety of occasions. I learned about his death on the afternoon of Monday, the 23d of March current, from mamma, to whom it had been men tioned by a lady named Miss Perry, a friend of M. L'Ange lier. I had not seen M. L'Angelier for about three weeks before his death, and the last time I saw him was on a night about half-past 10 o'clock. On that occasion he tapped at mybedroom window, which is on theground floor, and fronts Main-street. I talked to him from the window, which is stanchioned outside. and I did not go out to him, nor did be come in to me. This occasion which, as already said, was about three weeks before his death, was the last time I saw him. He was in the habit of writing notes to me, and I was in the habit of replying to him by notes. The last note I wrote to him was on the Friday before his death—viz., Friday, the 20th of March current. I now see and identify that note and the relative envelope, and they are each marked No. 1. In consequence of that note I expected him to visit me on Saturday night, the 21st cur rent, at my bedroom window as formerly mentioned, but he did not come and sent no notice. There was no tapping at my window on said Saturday night or the following night, being Sunday. I went to bed on Sunday night about 11 o'clock, and remained in bed till the usual time of getting up next morning, being 8 or 9 o'clock. In the course of my meetings with M. L'Angelier he and I had arranged to get married, and we had at one time proposed September last as the time the marriage was to take place, and subsequently the present month of March was spoken of. It was proposed that we should reside in furnished lodgings, but we had not made any definite arrangement , as to time or otherwise. He was very unwell for some time, and had gone to the Bridge of Allan for his health, and he complained of sickness ; but I have no idea what , was the cause of it. I remember giving him some cocoa 1 from my window one night some time ago, but I cannot specify the time particularly. He took the cup in his hand and barely tasted the contents, and I gave him no bread with it. I was taking some cocoa myself at the time, and had prepared it myself. It was between 10 and 11 p.m. when I gave it to him. lam now shown a note or . letter and envelope which are marked respectively No. 2, and I recognize them as a note and envelope which I wrote to M.L'Angelier and sent to the post. As I had attributed his sicknessto want of food, I proposed, as stated in the note, , to give him a loaf of bread ; but 1 said that merely in a joke, and, in point of fact, I never gave him any bread. I have bought arsenic on various occasions. The last I boug ht was asixpenceworth, which I bought in Currie the apothecary's, in Sauchiehall•street ; and prior to that I bought other two quantities of arsenic, for which I paid Gd. each—one of these in Currie's and the other in Murdoch the apothe cary's shop, in Sauchiehall-street. I used it all as a cosme tic, and I applied it to my face, neck, and arms, diluted with water. The arsenic I got in Currie's shop I got there on Wednesday, the 18th current, and I used it all on one occasion, having put it all in the basin where I was to wash myself. I had been advised to the use of the arsenic in the way I have mentioned by a young lady, the daughter of an actress, and I had also seen the use of it recommended in the newspapers. The young lady's name was Jubilee (Giu bilei), and I had mot her at school at Clapton, near Lon don. I did not wish any of my father's family to be aware that I was using the arsenic, and therefore never men tioned it to any of them, and I don't suppose they or any of the servants ever noticed any of it in the basin. When I bought the arsenic in Murdoch's, I am not sure whether I was asked or not what it was for, but I think I said it was for a gardener to kill rats or destroy vermin about flowers, and I only said this because I did not wish them to know that I was going to use it as a cosmetic. I don't remember whether I was asked as to the use I was going to make of the arsenic on the other two occasions, but I likely made the same statement about it as I had done in Murdoch's, and on all the three occasions, as required in the shops, I signed my name to a book in which the sales were entered. On the first occasion I was accompanied by Mary, a daugh ter of Dr. Buchanan, of Dumbarton. For several years past Mr. Minnoch, of the firm of Wm. Houldsworth and Co., has been coming a good deal about my father's house • and about a month ago Mr. Minnoch made a proposal dmar riage to me, and I gave him my hand in token of accept ance, but no time for the marriage has yet been fixed ; and my object in writing the note No. 1, beforementioned, was to have a meeting with M. L'Angelier, to tell him that I was engaged in marriage to Mr. Minnoch. I am now shown two notes and an envelope bearing the Glasgow I:i.oostmark of January 28, which are respectively marked . 3, were a n d w I r t r t e e c o n g a n n i s d e t s h e n e s t a b a y s m i en tom a L n , A d w n g r r g, a co n d tn t il h e e y oceasion that I gave M.

THE GLASGOW POISONING CASE. of March. On the last occasion she spoke of the mar riage as being to take place in June. She spoke of no doubt or difficulty about it. Cross-examined—l live at Dumbarton. I was visiting GlasgoW on the Gth March. I had visited at Mr. Smith's house at Row when they lived there, and I also visited at Blythswood-square when I was in Glasgow. Miss Smith was not in when I called on the 6th March, tut she came in while I was there. We went out together. She said she wished to talk with me about her marriage, but I had no time to wait. She said she would walk so far on the way with me. There was a school promise between us that whichever of us was first married should have the other as bridesmaid. We went from Blythswood-square to Sauchie hall-street, and along it. This was the way I was going. On coming to Currie'e she said, " Oh, just step a minute ; I want to go into this shop." There were two young men behind the counter. We both went forward to it. She asked for arsenic. The man said she must sign the book. She said she would sign anything they liked, and signed "M. Smith," and asked if that would do, and the man said, " Yes." Miss Smith first asked the young man, " How do you sell arsenic ? Would sixpence worth be a largo quantity ?" I did not sign the book. Everything was done very openly. When we were at school together at Clapton I remember something about arsenic. I remem ber either at lesson or in cur evening reading of our reading an account of the Styrian peasants taking arsenic to give them breath in climbing steep mountains, and about their having a peculiar plumpness and rosiness of appearance. I remember Miss Giubilei, who was a pupil-teacher in the school. She was at the reading at the time, I think. We were always obliged to be at the evening reading, and I should think that Miss Smith would be there. By the Court—l met Miss Smith by a ppointment on the Gth March. She knew I was coming, and she wrote me, making the appointment at half-past I saw her on the 30th. I think I was with her from 3to half-past 4. I saw her then in her own house. I had been visiting Glasgow for a week or two. Nothing particular passed between us o f it Mrs.together. l vco t on the 30th. I asked her about her marriage, and we sp ok e (formerly Augusta Giubilei) —I was a pupil teacher in a school at Clapton in the year 1852. I never advised the prisoner to use arsenic as a cosmetic, or to ap ply it to her face and arms dilitted with water.; netreindeed, to use it in any way. I never had any conversation with her about the use of arsenic, that I recollect of. I believe I never had any conversation with her at all about the use of cosmetics. I recollect a fact occurring on our reading of mountaineers taking small quantities of arsenic to im prove their breath, and that those who so took it were re markable for their plumpness. I believe I never had any conversation with the prisoners about this passage. William Murray, lately page to, and residing with, Mr. Smith.—l went to Mr. Smith's service in November last. I slept in the room as you go in at the low front door, on the left hand side. Miss Madeleine Smith slept on the right hand side beyond the kitchen—a room which has two win dows to Main-street. There was also a cook and house maid in the house, named Christina Haggart and Charlotte M`Leae. They slept in the room at the other end of the passage, on the left. Miss Madeleine once sent me to an apothecary about four months ago. I recollect her being missed from home one morning. It was about six weeks or two months before that I was at the apothecary's. I went for prussic acid. She gave me a line, with the words, "a small phial of prussic acid." I took it to an apothecary's, Dr. Yoaman's, in Sanchiehall-street, but they would not give it me. I went back to Miss Smith, and told her so. She said, " Very well; never mind." She said she wanted it for her hands. I did not know M. L'Angelier by sight or otherwise. I have posted letters for Miss Smith. I have observed some with something like that name, bUt I never could make out what it was. It was my business to lock the area gate, but I sometimes forgot. I went to bed about 10 on Sunday, the 22d of March. 3: sleep very soun'. I heard no noise before th e m ornin g . Miss Smith had not gone to her room when I went to bed.

She always slept with Miss Madeleine in the same room and bed. I had no charge of the back door — only the front area gate and upper front door. It was ge nerally the cook who locked the back door, also the front area door. I remember all the servants and family were at prayers the night of Sunday, the 223. The usual hour is nine o'clock. When I came down, I first went into the kitchen, and stopped about five minutes, and then went to bed. I was waiting at breakfast next morning. Miss Smith was there just as usual. There was a young man named Mackenzie who visited Christina Haggart at this time. She is married to him now. idiss Smith and Janet sometimes got hot water in a jug from the kitchen before going to bed. I did not see Mackenzie that Sunday night. Re-examined—l heard nobody go out or come in on the night of the 22d. There 'are two keys to the area gate. One of them is generally kept in the kitchen, banging on a nail. The keys of the fr ont door are generally left in the inside of the doors. Re-cross-examined—The entrance to the back area is not a gate, but a door. It is too high for me to climb. There is broken glass on the top. George Yeaman, physician, Sauchiehall-street, Glasgow —I recollect a paper presented to me by my assistant, on which was written " half an ounce of prussic acid." This was four to eight weeks previously to Glasgow election, a which was on the 31 st of March. When the line was brought to me I went into the sho p re. I Blythswooand saw a d-s bo u y. He told me he came from Miss S mith, q asked whether ho knew what he wanted. He answered that he thought it was poison. I then said if Miss Smith dated 21. would call herself I would see whether or not she could have it. Miss Smith did not come, that I saw or heard of. sixpence worth of George Murdoch, druggist, Sauchieball-street —Shown 185 of the i n veniory, being his register of all arsenic he sold in retail.

Mr. Currie was in at the time, and he made some objection to her gettingit. I told him she had got it before, and he allowed me to get it. A young lady, whom I took to be her sister, was with her. I never heard of arsenic such as I gave Miss Smith being used as a cosmetic, but a preparation of arsenic is used as a da tory for taking hairs off the face. That is the yellow epil sul , phurate of arsenic. oth Cr oss-examined—Bptirchaseeweremade quite, openly. Miss Smith was accompanied by a young lady on the first occasion whom I did not know. The young lady said she always thought that arsen ic was white , b ut I Ohl her we were obliged to colour it by act of Parliament. By the Court--Arsenic is used as a depilatory because it so affects the skin that it takes out the roots of the hair. That is not the usu al q uality of a cosmetic. gogft corroborated Haliburton's evi senic to Miss Smith on the 18 til of e J ume o e h a nar March h 6 t.o u t r hn r i e e e , sdfaulrerather deponed —I recommended her to take some other p re p aration to kill rats, and she said she ' but she would prefer having arsenic, so well before.

Cross-examined.— qo were very much troubled with rats, but had not used arsenic to destroy them. We had used phosphor paste, and found it to be effectual. We partly got quit of them by it. Robert Oliphant, stationer, Argyll-place, Helensburgh. —I know the prisoner. She used to deal with our shop for envelopes and note-paper. I have seen her handwrite ing. 1 was shown a variety of letters by the Procurator,- Fiscal, and recogni sed them as Miss Smith's handwriting ; and I recognised some of the envelopes as having come from our shop. They were stamped with the initials " M. H. S." specially for her. William Harper M innoch, examined by the Solicitor- of General—l am a merchant in Glasgow, and a partner the firm of John Houldsworth and Co. I live in Main street, above the house of Mr. James Smith. I have been intimately acquainted with his family for upwards of four years. In the cou rse of last winter I paid my addresses to Miss Smith, and I made proposals of marriage to her. She accepted these proposals. Tho time of our marriage was fixed between us. Previously to that, I first asked her generally, without reference to any time. That was on the 28th of January. My attentions to awarel under had been such as as to make her qttite that I stood, was paying my addresses to her. She accepted me on the 28th of January, and wo arranged mor e particularly on the 12th of March. From the 28th of January to the end of March there was nothing which suggested any doubt to my mind as to the engagement continuing,. I had no idea that she was engaged to any other person, and I was aware of no attachment or peculiar intimacy between her and any otker man. The marriage was fixed to be on the 18th of June. Last season I made Miss Smith a present of a necklace ; it was some time in January, before the 28th. She went along with her family to the Bridge of Allan on the 6th of Match; she remained there till the 17th. I visited the family while they were there. After leaving rreceived a letter from Miss Smith (No. 133) ; that is the letter; it is dated "Monday" merely. After she came homo from Bridge of Allan she dined in my house with her father and mother ; that was on Mon day, the 19th of March. I met her at dinner again at Mr. Middleton's on the 25th of March. I was not aware of anything wrong at that time. I called on Thursday morning, the 26th, at her father's house. She was not in the house. I was informed she hail left the house. I went to Rowaleyn in company with her brother, Mr. John Smith, to look for her. We went by train to Greenock, and then on board the steamer, and we found her on board. It was going to Helensburgh, and then to Row. It called at Roseneath, and then returned to Greenock. We found her in the steamer a little after 2 o'clock. She said she was going to Rowaleyn. I went on to Rowaleyn with her and her brother ; and then we ordered a carriage and drove up to Glasgow to her father's house. On reaching Glasgow I had no conversation with Miss Smith. I saw her again en the Saturday following. I had heard a rumour that something was wrong. She told me on the Saturday that she had written a letter to M. L'Angelier t the object of which was to get back some letters which she had written to him previously. She made no further statement at that time. I saw her again on the Sunday. There was no conversation on the subject then. I saw her on Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday morning she alluded to the report that L'Angelier had been poisoned, and she remarked that she had been in the habit of buying arsenic, as she had heard at Clapton school that it was good for the complexion. I bad heard a ru mour that he had been poisoned. She said nothing, and that was the last time I saw her. Before she made these statements to me Iwas not aware that she was acquainted 'with L'Augelier. - I was not acquainted with him myself. Cross-examined. — I was at the Opera with Miss Smith and my sister on the evening of the 10th February. We went to the Opera about half-past 7 o'clock. We got home about 11 o'clock. Miss Smith returned with us. She had been with us all the evening. The cab stopped at her door and she went into her house. On the 26th of March I suggested the probability of Miss Smith having gone to Row, her father having a house there in which a servant was living at the time. In consequence I and her brother went down. When we met her in the steamer I asked her why she had left her home, leaving her friends distressed about her ; but I requested her not to reply then, as there were too many people present. I renewed the inquiry at Rowaleyn, and she said she felt distressed that her papa and mamma should be so much annoyed at what she had done. Mr. Smith told me that she had left the house that morning, and I asked him the reason, and he said it had been for some old love affair. I understood her to refer to that in the answer she made to me. She gave us no further explanation. She told me not to press her and she would tell me all. We were only about three-quarters of an hour at Row. We took her back to her father's house and left her there. On the 31st of March it was she who introduced the subject of L'Angelier's death, referring to the report of his having been poisoned ; that was about half-past nine in the morning. I had called to inquire for Mrs. Smith, having heard she was unwell. My meeting with Miss Smith that morn ing was so far accidental. I have mentioned all that passed on the occasion. On the 29th I reminded her of the promise she made to me at Row that she would tell me by and by. I had not then heard anything of L'Angelier. She had not then mentioned his name to me, but she said he was a Frenchman. On the 25th I called before going to Mr. Middleton's. I called for Mr. Smith, but I did not see him. He was unwell and in bed. I took Miss Smith to Mr. Middleton's. He is the Minister of the United Presby terian Church, which they attend. The evidence for the prosecution was further adjourned till Friday morning at ten. FOURTH DAY.—FRIDAY. After several miscellaneous witnesses and further medi cal testimony. Christina Haggart, formerly servant to Mr. Smith, de posed to one or more clandestine interviews between pri soner and deceased at the back area door, but could not fix any date, and heard no one come into the house on the , night of Sunday, the 22d March. Had known of their se cret intimacy, and received letters under cover to herself for the prisoner. Two witnesses had seen the deceased about nine on Sun day night, going in a direction which might lead to Bly ths wood-square. A constable on the beat had seen him - once or twice near the house, but not on the Sunday night. Mr. and Mrs. Towers, Portobello, had been visited by the deceased on the 16th of March, when he said he had lately taken some cocoa and coffee which had disagreed with him, and he thought he had been poisoned. Mary Arthur Perry had been a confidant of L'Angelier in his secret attachment, and knew of its progress and in terruptions. On the 9th of March ho said to witness, " I can't think why I was so unwell after getting that coffee and chocolate from her." Understood him to mean from prisoner. He said, "It is a perfect infatuation I have for her ; if she were to poison me I would forgive her." Wit ness said, "What motive could she have to do you harm ?" He said, " Perhaps she might not be sorry to get rid of me." Witness did not think, however, there was a serious suspicion on his mind. A debate arose as to the admission of the voluminous correspondence founded on, which was objected to for the prisoner on various grounds, but the Court overruled the objection. The letters have yet to be read. From the London Gazette of Last Night MANCHESTER, JUNE 30.
