SALDANHA is waiting for an acc ess i ont O his forces! say his apologists ; SALDANUA tarries by the banks of the Douro for the better organization of his troops, and for the more deliberate considera tion of his aggressive plans ! SALDANHA is " biding his time " for a more fitting opportunity ! SALDINUA is doing this, that, and the other, for such and such reasons, all very wise, sagacious, and provident ! Pshaw ! the arguments employed in palliation of this very redoubtable, wise, sagacious, and provident loyalist, are about as contemptible and valueless as a " shotten herring." Why, a penny almanac is enough to convict SALDANHA of incapacity ! The mere enu meration of the days, and weeks, and months that have lagged on since the commencement of his mili tary operations are sufficient, in all conscience, to pro claim the insignificance either of his s kill or his detettnin ation, or his army, or his courage, or maybe all of them together. From the first outbreak against the Government of Lisbon, the collowers of her Portuguese MAJESTY have insisted that the insurrection has merely originated in the in- TllO SILN,_LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENINO, APRIL 7, 1847. The address to which we have referred establishes the accuracy of these predictions. 'Wexford has taken I the initiative in the movement that must speedily become general throughout the kingdom. It has long been regarded as one of the model counties of Ireland. Happily for its inhabitants, it numbers fewer absentees among its landowners, and a larger proportion of un incumbered estates than almost any of the Irish counties—certainly than any in the south or west of the island. We shall anxiously await the event of the intended steps. If all combine together in the spirit by which the committee are actuated, the result must be most beneficial. The prosperity of the county: - will be secured, its property saved from a heavy burden of unnecessary taxation, its labourers rendered happy and contented, supported by their own honest industry, in place of being paupers maintained by public charity; the most friendly relations will be established between all classes, and a brilliant example held out to other localities. To the gentry of Ireland we would say, " Go ye and do likewise," and in the language of the Wexford committee, we would remind them that the result of their exertions will be the development of fertile resources, and a provision for the future ; and that a wise PROVIDENCE blesses well-directed activity, while inaction ever produces ill conse quences. ...----- -.. ,- ra s subordination i n m a u t i n o i n c i p o a f li t c i e e r s t , a a i certain aowfltr few sv g uer i l 1 a s , profligateof asnu.an in solventd.ry distu n r o b b a le n s c . the ntsam h ae ve o s f c c o i r v n i e l d w to ar d ; ig t n h t e f y y es T :it il h oy th a e lis characterise them as nothing they insist that the n ation . hasmnoorestyhmanpaathlyocwalhraetveo‘l.etr; with the insurgents ; creatures of an insolent j , 'unta and a handful of de they contemn the latter as the signing demagogues.

He comforts himself with the evanescent eclat of a few skirmishes ; he compels one of the insurgent chieftains to escape picturesquely in an open boat ; and creates a perpetual ferment in the capital by his procrastination. Nothing is clearer in these Peninsular transactions than that either the insurrection is preposterously underrated, or the military commander of Queen MARIA iS preposterously overrated. The outbreak is more like a national revolution than it was originally described to be, or Marshal SALDANHA has many of the characteristics of an imbecile, and more of the qualities of a poltroon. One or other of these deductions is inevitable. While the Royalists have been thus dallying with circumstances, and in juring, if not destroying, the cause of their Sovereign, the popular party within the battlements of Oporto have, under the direction of DAs ANTAS, been developing all their resources; they have been arming themselves aggressively by discipline, and defensively by accu mulating supplies of provisions. Spring is advancing, but not SALDANHA. The latter appears to be coy in regard to an attack upon the embattled city ; he has a partiality for warlike flirta tions, and promises at last, like every mili tary coquette, to jilt the Battle that bas been hovering so long about the suburbs of Oporto. i Rumours are afloat that it is the intention of SAL-. DANHA to retire, if possible, upon Lisbon. Every fragment of intelligence received from the Peninsula is, however, so peculiarly suspicious, that we are dis inclined to regard even SALDANIIA himself as capable of an act of weakness so flagrant and contemptible, especially after the egregious parade of his promised victory and vengeance. Meanwhile the expedition under the Viscount DR SA has departed apparently for the Algarves, but in reality (as is generally sup posed) for the interception of the QUEEN'S forces in case of any retrograde movement. Whether the Vis count DE SA will proceed by Aveiro, to establish him self upon the river Vouga for the molestation of the Royalists during their retreat upon Lisbon, or not, it is probable that some decisive step will be taken forthwith for the settlement of these distracting em barrassments. Portugal cannot endure interminable anarchy. Unless MARIA DA GLORIA obtain assist ance from foreign troops, or from more competent generalship, her cause is infallibly ruined, and her reign virtually brought to a termination. For, long suffering as the community is showing itself to be, it must, under a continuance of this disastrous civil war, rise up in its indignation and annihilate its aggressors. Experience foretells this, and experience is as prophetic as a Sibylline leaf. MARIA HA GLORIA should listen to the voice of these inexora ble forebodings, and lean no longer on a broken reed. Her MAJESTY should take good measures for a recon ciliation with her people, and to compass this most effectually she should re-organize her councils. The scene that presented itself on the shores of the Mersey on Monday last will not easily pass out of memory; on the contrary, it will be treasured in the recollection as one of the most interesting manifesta tions ever witnessed in this country in support of its enterprise, wealth, civilisation, and philanthrophy. Inaugural exhibitions took place, connected with those public works, each of which is certain of being pro ductive of vast benefit to the local and general welfare of the community. The public health, and the re creation of all classes, has been humanely consulted, by the opening of a beautiful park at Birkenhead, which has cost nearly 128,0001.; the interests of commerce have been strengthened by the opening of the new docks at the same place; and, lastly, the faci lities of inland traffic have been materially enhanced by the completion of the extension line of the Chester and Birkenhead Railway to the docks. Such were the objects in celebration of which throngs of people crowded the banks on either side of the Mersey, affording as animating, and, regard being had to the respective causes of their congregation, as ennobling a spectacle as could well gladden the eye and elevate the mind of the spectator. Besides the concourse of eminent merchants and wealthy landed proprietors of the neighbouring counties, there were present on this enlivening occasion distinguish( public men, whose handsome tribute of admiration to the industry, intelligence, and benevolent liberality of the promoters of the fresh adjuncts, already enu merated, must have proved highly gratifying to them. The proceedings of the day were participated in by Lord MORPETII, the Earl of LINCOLN, Lord MONTEAGLE, and others, who have at different pe riods been officially and energetically employed in fostering the trade and commerce of the empire, and devising means for improving the sanatory condition of the people. Lord MORPETLI, with his accustomed . felicity, addressed his auditory in graceful and elo quent terms, replete with lofty sentiment and en larged counsel. Speaking of the new docks, Lord MORPETII breathed a hope, which was warmly £ ponded to. A pleasing omen I shall think it, if amongst the first uses of that ample basin into which our vessel to day has been the first to glide, surrounded by all those striking specimens of engineering skill and admirable masonry, we should apply those works to the admission of the surplus harvests of more favoured regions, and make provisions for the bread which keepeth alive." This was an aspiration emanating from a spirit of international charity, with which the mind of the British statesman should be ever endowed, and for which that of the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests has always been peculiarly remarkable. The retrospect of Lord Mouravu's career teaches us that from no one more than himself could the hope alluded to, which is so fraught with compassion for the dire ful wants of stricken multitudes in Ireland and Scot land, have come with greater effect. If ever a man felt pained by a political severance it was Lord hiOR PETS, when his present constituency refused tore-elect him to Parliament, on account of the fidelity he evinced to the question of abrogating the corn-laws ; and now that his Lordship's foresight has triumphed, nothing could be more grateful than finding himself with the barriers of monopoly prostrate at his feet, enabled to recommend that the extensive warehouses of Birken head Docks should, at an appalling crisis, be as speedily as possible stored with the cereal riches of distant lands, to feed the hungry and assuage the unendurable miseries of our famishing fellow-crea tures. We cannot conclude this passing notice of the auspicious proceedings at Birkenhead without ex pressing our belief; in the emphatic language of Lord MORPETLI, that we have "forged a new and an abiding link to that chain of amity, which ought ever to connect England with America." A further reduction in the numbers of the 4 labourers employed on the public works, in addition to that of 20 per cent. so recently made, has just been announced. A circular has been sent to the different relief committees, calling upon them to take prompt and energetic measures for giving effectual relief to the destitute persons in their several districts, and stating that the Relief Commissioners are prepared to advance money where it is necessary to the finance committees, when the required preliminary steps shall have been taken, until which time the Commis sioners will be wholly unable to act. Any delay or procrastination, therefore, on the part of those thus addressed, will necessarily occasion the greatest misery and suffering. The whole responsibility now rests on their shoulders. The Government have well performed their parts. Henceforward local boards must give effect to the provisions made for the sup port of the people. The temporary Relief Act will, it is said, be brought into operation in Dublin even within the present week. A very few days in addition will enable those interested in the different districts to obtain its benefits. Sad, indeed, will be the consequences of any neglect or apathy. The people who may thereby be exp)aed to the pangs of hunger will demand a heavy retribution from those by whose default their unnecessary suffer ings were occasioned. It is incumbent on all classes now to unite together and to labour vigorously and efficiently for the welfare of their country. An ex cellent example has been set in the county of Wex ford, which we sincerely trust may be generally fol lowed. A Landlord and Tenant Association has been formed, not for the purpose of recovering their lost monopoly—not for the sake of protective imposts, or of enhancing the price of food or agricultural produce—but with the 'noble object of taking mea sures for the industrial and profitable employment of the surplus labouring population. The committee, who were appointed by the grand jury of the county, at the late assizes, appear to be fully acquainted with the real condition of all those interested in landed property, and clearly to perceive the only means by which the impending danger can be avoided, and themselves enabled-- " From the nettle danger to pluck the flower safety." This can only be effected by the general union and active co-operation of the owners and occupiers of land. By that union the burden falling on each will be comparatively light. Profitable employment can easily be provided for the people, but the land lords must set their own shoulders to the wheel. Under the new system of relief, which must speedily come into operation, the surplus population of the country must, if unemployed, be fed in absolute idleness. The committee, in an address just issued, explain what must be the inevitable results; they say— " The consequences will be—first, a heavy tax, from the expenditure of which no-profitable return will arise ; , econdly, the demoralisation and degradation of the ' lower ranks of society, whose habits of dependence, thus acquired, will render taxation under the new Poor-law a burden too heavy for the country to bear." They clearly show that a general system of emi gration, so fondly relied on by many of their com peers, is at best but a slow mode of relief, anti not available under present circumstances, and that the only remedy is to provide full employment for the labouring population. In order, then, to obtain the necessary co-operation they recommend that the fol lowing steps should be taken, viz.—" That all land owners and occupiers throughout this county should meet, and consult, without delay, upon the best mode of immediately setting the surplus labourers of this county to work." They say— " To carry out this it is necessary that absentee pro prietors should send authorised representatives, to call together, consult, and act in unison with the tenant farmers of the county. Likewise that all persons hay ine direct or indirect interest in landed property should join in aid. " An unequal share of burden will in many cases occur —risk will threaten in others; but there can be no pause when the only alternative involves the country and its inhabitants in degradation and ruin. " This committee will meet on the first Thursday of every month, to secure unity of action throughout t p h o e o_ c rri o a. u tte stee:iecenoetmnolhraelei divisions ns oof committees the c 0 u o n f t the y have been requested rtt(s,a to act in conjunction with the baronial com sttoe ployment of a general fish eries, reclamations limited means of employment, ties, will be ascertained nettedwell be be with st o the wed o loc a l itie s; n s d in ite th h e es u w n h cl i r e a h in d e e d fa l c a n u a d n , d an r d ena tl f e ac w ti i o n n s i e n ar t c h h eir ol s it ere m ra ea l n d s is districts. t e s. m . of un n e st i n . re, such as enlarged mo,resulted.to tracts, different t c h . os elo A cc f ao o in r i e l tilev ast b fi u e t ic r i a". t p u daislysinb g y . unnrecPesr s o a h r t y n a bobltaeic notice may e 'e r so much of our coo try useless." A letter from Constantinople of the 19th ult., in he Augshurg Gazette, contains the following:— The Leipsic Gazette of the 30th ult. publishes The proportion of the number of persons employed on the public relief works in their county was but one to 25 acres of arable land. Surely in the manner they have indicated full occupation may be found for all. The advocates of a good and efficient poor-law have ever contended that so soon as the proprietors of the soil were satisfied that the people must • be maintained under any circumstances, the best use would be made of their power and industry. and that not reluctantly, but spontaneously, and in a manner which tells well for the future peace of Spain. The circumstances are thus related in a letter from Madrid of the 31st : "The permission to M. Olozaga to return to Spain was decided on last evening. His brother addressed a respectful memorial to the Queen on the subject, and her Majesty was pleased to write on the margin, This demand is to be granted.' The memorial was then sent to the President of the Council, who immediately laid it before his colleagues. They at once agreed to act in conformity with her Majesty's wishes. However, before proceeding further in the matter, they determined to confer with the Queen on the subject, when—the report goes—her Majesty expressed herself in these terms—'l wrote on the paper to which you allude the peruaistion for M. Olozaga to return to Spain, from a desire, since we are entering on a new era of reconciliation and for getfulness of injury, to give myself an example of pardon and oblivion.' Such is the version in circulation here in the best-informed circles. General Cordova is to be definitively nominated Captain-General of Madrid ; General Oribe, Inspector of Carbineers; and General Manual Concha Inspector of Infantry." The Duke of GLCCKSBURGH has been appointed Ambassador from the KING of the FRENCH in the I room of Count BRESSON. The Tiempo states that the Minister of Finance has appointed M. MENDIZABAL and M. GONZOLO MORON to terminate the liquidations of the money transactions pending between him, in his mercantile capacity, and the Government; and the Heraldo says that he had returned to the Treasury the warrants of 3,520,000 reels, in State rente, deposited with him in 1843, as a guarantee for sums paid by him for the army, and which had been lately referred to in the Chamber. The same journal publishes a mass of details, relative to the operations against small bands of Carlists in the provinces, but they are in general of no importance. One affair, however, which took place on the 26th, at Santa Cruz de Pinares, between he civic guard and a body of insurgents, under the command of Colonel FELIX CALVENTE, appears to have heen of a more serious character. The rebels held out for a considerable time, and at last only gave way when they had four men killed, and seven taken prisoners. The rest then dispersed. Wednesday being a holiday the Boise was closed. 'We have received the only French paper, or rather fragment of a paper, viz., Le Bulletin du Commerce, which was published on Monday. Easter is always a season of rejoicing, and editors, reporters, and printers, take a holiday in Paris as well as the rest of mankind, consequently on Easter Monday no papers are published except the paper to which we have alluded, and which is merely a price current. The Chamber of Commerce at Lyons at its last sitting unanimously, agreed to the following resolu- Lon : " Considering that the present high price of provisions i is the cause of great misery amongst the poorer classes -that there is little hope of any material reduction in prices before next harvest-that all means of alleviating this situation ought to be eagerly embraced-considering, moreover, that the consumption of meat is yearly dimi nishing in France-that this diminution is produced as much by the smallness of the supply in the market as by the elevation of price -that every possible augmentation in the supply of food ought to be the grand object of the Government at present-and that the suppression of all entrance duties on foreign cattle would materially aid in effecting this desirable result-the Chamber of Commerce of Lyons, considering all this, prefers to the King's Go vernment a most pressing supplication to bring in a Bill as soon as possible to suppress all duties on foreign cattle, if not definitively, at least temporarily."

This bankrupt, who is a district-surveyor for Surrey, came up to apply for protection.

A creditor opposed the renewal of the protection, and said that the re'llsal of the certificate was no punish ment, as the creditors could not touch the bankrupt's salary.

In fact, a sort of revolution appears to be approaching. Without doubt the Court of Directors of the Bank of England are really very stringently putting on the screw upon the accommodation hitherto afforded to the discount firms, rich as most of them are, of the city of London. Of course the continuance of this line of policy, must tend to react upon private accommoda tion the privileges heretofore enjoyed by the firms already alluled to. Will, then, the question is asked in most circles, the secret committee of the Bank of England make up the void thus of necessity created ? This is very doubtful, in our opinion, fortified in it as we are by conversations with parties deeply connected with financial and commer cial affairs. The strain, therefore, must still be very severe when money is required, even upon ap proved bills of exchange. Instances have been related to us, in which securities lodged of exceedingly good repute have been taken in at 6 and 6i per cent. this very morning. It may be that the Bank parlour meet ing will announce in a definite shape and publicly the real intentions of the managing body of the Corporation, as to the future, so that there may not be any hypothesis to mislead the public, or doubts entertained as to the course of action for the future. Tho emergencies of the times are well known. Let, then, it is urged in all quarters, the intention of the directors be enunciated, and that, too, without any fur- SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) There was only one undefended cause set down for hearirg, which was not of the slightest interest. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) TRIAL OF DR. CRONIN FOR NIANSLAUG LITER. Mr. Justice Coleridge took his seat on the bench ut ten o'clock. Immediately after, Dr. onin, of Leicester-square, was placed in the dock, charged with having caused the death of Sarah Ellen Collyer, aged 22, by having ad ministered to her certain ingredients, whereby he had been guilty of manslaughter. The prisoner was indicted on the coroner's warrant. The body of the court and the gallery were crowded by respectably-dressed persons, A considerable number of females w ere present, and the case seemed to excite the utmost interest. ther delay. There are very late commercial letters in town this morning from Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. From the former the accounts come down to the 3d January last. The blockade had lasted 462 days, and so safely and rigidly had it been kept that nut a single vessel had entered. At Monte Video business was slack indeed. The exchange was marked at the low figure of lid. 2id. he dollar. This is indeed a ruination value. The transactions in the Public Securities have been of a most chequered character this morning. Money is certainly more in demand. Consols for Money have receded as low as 87i, and for the Account to S 7 k. At the present hour prices are perhaps a shade firmer, but it is a fraction—say 4 per cent. The fall upon the extreme prices of) esterday has been all round full one per cent. Option business has been carried en to a very consider able amount, and for a further fall too. For the Ac count the price to-day has ranged from 87k to 874, and the same for Money. Consol Scrip has been sold at 2k discount ; Exchequer-bills at 2s. premium and ls. dis count ; India Bonds at 55. discount and 2s. premium ; and India Stock at 2464.

KATHARINE'S DOCK. - Yesterday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, an accident of a very serious nature occurred in the St. Katharine's Dock to two labourers, named John Hayes and John English, under the following circum stances :—lt appears that. both the unfortunate men were engaged, with several other labourers, on board the Mary Barington, from China, lying off A warehouse, in discharging her cargo, while a number of riggers were employed aloft in lowering the yard-arm, when the tackle gave way and the yardarm fell on to the deck and struck down the two men, who were rendered in sensible. They were immediately conveyed on litters to the London Ilospital, where they were placed under the care of Mr. Joseph Nash, house surgeon of the institu tion. Upon examination it was found that English's right foot was crushed in a most frightful manner. He remains in the hospital in a very precarious state. Hayes also sustained serious injuries, and his left leg was fractured, but he is likely to recover. The execution of Catherine Fo3ter, for poisoning , her husband, is fixed for Saturday, April 17.

Mr. PAYNE then proceeded to open the case for the prosecution. He said the prisoner was cha - ged with having caused the death of the deceased, by having pre scribed for her ingredients which caused her death. The following was the prescription : " Compound spirit of ammonia, two drachms ; tinc ture of opium, 16 drops ; prussic acid, of Scheele's strength, 4 drops ; compound strychnia powder, 2 grains ; bitter almond water, 6 ounces ; of which make a mixture, and take two spoonfuls three times a day. Feb. 3. Mi ss Collyer.—D. C." This prescription was sent to a chemist in the neigh bourhood of Miss Collyer's residence, iu Camden Town, on the 15th of February, by whom it was made up, and the deceased, after taking it, became ill, and died in twenty or twenty-five minutes after. The compound strychnia was omitted by the chemist, as he was unable to obtain it ; and it would be a question for their con sideration whether the omission of this ingredient was or was not important. If it was not of any importance, they would then inquire whether the death of Miss Col lyer was or was not caused by the gross and culpable negligence of the prisoner, acid if so it would be their duty to find him guilty of manslaughter. The Learned Gentleman then referred to several eminent authorities with respect to the meaning of the term manslaughter, and after saying that it was proved by a peat mortem examination that the death of the deceased was caused by prussic acid, he proceeded to call the following wit nesses:— Mr. John Ponds, of Camden Town, deposed that the deceased was his cousin, and that she first received ad vice from Dr. Cronin on the 3d of February, on which occasion he wrote a prescription. When she took the medicine, on the 15th of the same month, she immediately after exclaimed, " Dear me, how queer I feel." She then went to the back door. She had taken a table-spoonful and a little over. He followed her into the garden, where she fell. Two medical men, Mr. Withers and Mr. Reynolds, were called in to see her. She died on the 15th of February--on the day she fell down in the garden—and in about twenty or twenty-five minutes after taking the medicine. The witcess identi fied the prescription as the one received from Dr. Cronin. The deceased paid the doctor a guinea for two visits. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The deceased had only taken one bottle of the medicine up to the 15th of February. On the 4th, Dr. Cronin told the deceased that she might have the prescription made up at her own chemist's. Never heard the deceased say that she was better. Mr. J. A. Johnson, of 16, St. Martin's-lane, said he knew the deceased. On the evening of the 15th of February, be took Dr. Cronin's prescription to Mr. Cortield, who made it up, and gave it to him in a bottle. The deceased took a table spoonful and a half of it. The deceased handed the bottle to him ; it smelt strongly of bitter almonds. Thomas Simpson, a policeman, proved that the signa ture to the inquisition was Mr. Wakley's. Mr. D. Cortieid, chemist, carrying on business at Cam den -town, said he received a prescription from Miss Collyer, about seven o'clock in the evening of the 15th of February. The prescription produced was the one brought to him. He found he had not the bitter almond water or the compound strychnia powder. He sent a boy for the almond water, and he brought back a bottle full of it. He did not bring back any; strychnia powder, although directed to do so. He mixed up the ingredients, and put them in a bottle and gave them to the witness Johnstone. He never knew bitter almond water and compound strychnia powder used as medi cine before. Cross-examined—Was not acquainted with the pro• perties of bitter almond water, or of compound strychnia powder, nor were they recognised. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE (to the witness.) —I must say that this is the most monstrous thing I ever heard—to make up a prescription without putting in all the ingre dients ; nor does your ignorance better the matter. Do not misunderstand my meaning (proceeded the Learned Judge with much emphasis), to make up a prescription without including all the ingredients, is a fraud upon the person who brings it to you. You are not to give simply what you happen to have in your shop, and you ought to have said in this case, " I have not the ingredient." You set up your judgment against that of a physician whose prescription it was, and you had no right to interpose your judgment. The witness was then asked some questions with re spect to the introduction of new medicines. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.—I don't see the use of these questions. New medicines are introduced every day. It is not long since arsenic was used as a medicine. Mr. Morson, of Southampton-street, deposed that he replied to the boy who came for the ingredients that he had no compound of strychnia. Had never known bitter almond water used as a medicine internally. Jacob Bell, of Oxford-street, chemist and druggist, supplied the boy who came from Mr. Coorfield's with almond water, but as he had not the other he did not send it; but he sent him a prescription from a book for making it. Never knew bitter almond water used as a medicine. It was in about twenty-two different forms and different strengths. Any kind of bitter almond water would have been right according to the order he received. The absence of strychnia powder would not have affected the other ingredients. Cross-examined—lied the prescription been sent to him, he should not have made it up without consulting a physi sician. He could nottell what the object of the prescription was; whether to be used internally or externally,or whether merely for a mercantile purpose. In sending the ingre dients to a chemist, he should not have written " Poison" upon the bottle. He was the editor of the Pharma ceutical Jourral. The bitter almond water used was not strong enough to kill a horse, but it was enough to kill a human being. The Pharmacopoeia of the College of Surgeons was published in 1836. No new one had been published containing the improvements which had been made, but a chemist was generally told at whose strength he was to make up certain ingredients. Mr. John E. Spratt sworn, said that he was a dis pensir g chemist in Tichborne-street, Haymarket. He kept two or three preparations of almond water. He was in the habit of making up many prescriptions. He had made up prescriptions containing as one of the ele ments bitter almond water. Where bitter almond water was used as the vehicle for combining the other medi cines, ho would take Gray's preparation, or the weakest. If the stronger preparation were to be used, he should expect to find the abbreviation con. for concentrated in the prescription. An intimation was here made that the case need not proceed further. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said that the witnesses, with perhaps one exception, seemed agreed that if the pre scription had been properly made out, the medicine would have been harmless. It was inferred by them that where the stronger form was intended the word con. or concentrated would be added. Mr. CLARKSON said there was a case of precisely a similar kind as this on record, and the jury had returned an acquittal. There was not a shadow of doubt that Mr. Wakley ought not to have committed Dr. Cronin for trial, if indeed he should have had the case at all before him. Ilis feelings must have been bitterly con centrated when he decided upon sending the case before a jur. Mr. y PAYNE—You can weaken him then if you like. The jury not appearing to come at once to a decision, Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said that if they had any; doubt in the case they should let the trial go on, or allow him to turn up the evidence already given, and then con sider their verdict. The case was allowed to go on, and the next witness called was M a . . rlla member llob y t s is e rVn oft ft. tthheeecambe medicines College cei ne 8.M., e University s Phys n icians, a prescription, rse,hadr of i pt Oxford oattendedn ac th an e analysis found that there was enough prussic aciddntoowtaootcefetilstesn::inial death. veliiee He h ee a n d v n e3 e , v in e g r p in r e e d sc ie ri in be e d s, b a i n tt d er h a e lm w o a n s the habit of seeing other prescriptions.

Mr. Cies axsote said, he had been fully prepared to prove the constant use of this ingredient as a medicinal vehicle in the form used in Dr. Cronin's prescriptions; but the decision to which the jury had arrived would not entail upon him the necessity of bringing his witnesses forward. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Margaret Weeks was indicted for stealing a sovereigns the property cf Charles Smith. The prosecutor was a linen-draper, and on the even. , , ing of the 31st of March the prisoner entered his shop' to make some small purchase, when the prosecutor hav ing left a sovereign upon the counter, the prisoner wo s observed first to corer it witk a penny piece, and awn, when his back was turned, to take it up and put it in her pocket.

She was found Guilty, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment. Jane Carter was indicted for stealing a sheet, the property of Elizabetk Ashton. The prisoner adopted that. trick so general now amongst her class, of knocking at the door of some house in a retired locality, and inquiring for an imaginal Mrs. Smith, when she availed herself of the absence o f the servant to take whatever she could from the wools on the ground floor. She was found Guilty, and sentenced to six months imprisonment.

He was taken into custody in Bulstrodfr street. A verdict of Guilty was returned, and the AssTsTAlrr JUDGE said a letter had been found upon the prisoner addressed to one of his companions, stating that, as 1 1 was a gentlemanly young fellow , he wished him to 0;1 upon the witnesses in the present prosecution, and tel them, if they kept out of the way, or gave such evidence as would cause his acquittal, he would give them 51. He was then sentenced to six months' imprisoncaenu and hard labour. DAY.)

She added, that she and her tw° i.O children were kept from starvation by her master, "', received a pension from Government, but that lately she (complainant) was reduced to beggary. he t Mr. COTTINGIIAM said that it was really too bad Chet a man filling a lucrative situation like the defen"l:o should be permitted to suffer his wife and children starve. lie thought this was a case in which a p ub example ought to be made of the defendant. hi° The defendant said the f a cts w e r e exagg erated by 0. wife, and that he was willing to grant her a weekly, lowance. If he was sent to gaol, he would be deprt red of his situation.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY. Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat, coast• wise, as well as by land carriage and sample•, have been on a very moderate scale ; hence the quantity on offer was small. All kinds moved off slowly, at the late de cline in the quotations. Foreign Wheat, the supply of which was somewhat on the increase, commanded very little attention, yet previous rates were generally sup ported. For export we heard of no sales. The show of foreign Barley . was good, owing to which the trade was heavy, and prices were with difficulty supported. The Malt trade was exceedingly dull ; but we can notice no further depression in value. Oats, Beans, Peas and Flour were very heavy, at barely late rates. 1 Wheat. English •••• • • IMO qrs.
