Even those who spoke most strongly against the "sham," did not support their speeches with their votes, for one or both of the reasons above mentioned. We, however, fully concur with the Member for Sheffield, in thinking both that the period was opportune, and that in obtaining the expression of opinion from the re presentative branch of the Legislature, he was doing all that could properly be expected at hi , hands. It was for him to indicate the evil—for the Government to decide on the details by which the matter might be carried into practical opera tion, and an efficient substitute provided for the condemned office. )f that Sum that our new Palace of the Fine :arts may prove worthy of the Capit d and of the Empire, of the Age and of the Oliject, of the People and of the Sovereign. It is not only a magnificent Project—but it is, .lso, and in a very peculiar manner, a magnifi cent Opportunity. If we only avail ourselves wisely of this opportunity we may really, though adirectly, do marvels almost beyond conception. We are not talking at random, for example, when ye say distinctly that—lf we avail ourselves of this opportunity as we ought, we may, or, rather, we shall, infallibly—Elevate the Public raste, Advance the Progress of the Arts amongst ifirselves, and impart in this country a new and tppreoiable impetus to the onward movement of Civilisation.

Seven years since it was brought forward as a Government measure, and carried by a very considerable majority, when it received the ap proval and supple, of many influential member- of the present Government. All the causes that justified its continuance have long since ceased ; and there is a good old adage, " cessat ratio, cessat lex," which should decide the question. When Ireland was a separate nation, possessing an inde pendent Parliament, it was essential that all the machinery of Government should exist on the spot, and that there should be an autho rity empowered to act on any emergency, without waiting for instructions froni London, which, under the then conditions of travelling, it might take weeks to obtain. Such an emergency might arise at any moment. Ages of mis-govern ment and oppression bad created a considerable degree of disaffection, but now the Trish are a: loyal as their English or Scottish brethren. Thi railway, the steam-boat, and the submarine tele graph have virtually annihilated time and dis tance.• In place of tossing about for many day in a sailing packet, driven hack by contrary winds, and then spending two or three days more between Holyhead and Dublin, the sea voyage is performed with certainty in four hours ; and in some ten or a dozen hours the journey from Dub lin to London is effected, while messages can be transmitted in a few seconds—more rapidly, in fact, than from Whitehall to Somerset House ! Why, then, retain the useless office ? Why keep up the pinchbeck bauble, which can only be regarded as a badge of national degradation— which renders Ireland a province, in place of being an integral portion of " The United King dom ?" Simply to please the shopocracy of Dub lin—to give the tailors and milliners a little extra employment !" It is, in fact, neither more nor less than " protection" or " boun ties" to Dublin traders that is required, and, for that, nearly 100,000/. sterling is to be abstracted from the Imperial Exchequer. York, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Glasgow can flourish without such meretriciou. aids. Why should not Dublin do so, when obliged to look to its own resources for its pros perity ? We believe that it would be better in every respect ; that its trade would be sounder, and its inhabitants more prosperous, and far more independent, when the artificial stimulant was removed.

It is not by any moans our intention to sub oribe in any way to the extraordinary opinions .xpressed upon the subject of Art in England by he Times of this morning. We cannot admit for ►n instant that we have now " to begin" to play the part of an artistic people seriously I We stand astounded, absolutely astounded before the stolid conjecture advanced to-day by our contemporary, in this amazing sentence :—" Whether England is ever to have great historical painters, sculp -ors of classic genius, gifted carvers, and potters, tnd upholsterers, and pattern designers, is hidden in the Future !" As to the mere patterns awl upholstery, we leave them to the Schoul of Design %lid the Pantechnicon I But the nobler branches )f Art referred to in this most astonishing slur upon the genius of British Artists, dead tnd living, we will take, one by one, consecutively. and in doing so, we maintain that, in the first place, among Painters this country can readily enumerate a catalogue of Great Names not un vorthy of furnishing materials for a supplement to VASARI ! Among the limners of Men and Man ners, with the brush and the palette, where shall we find a more thoroughly national painter—equally great as Satirist and Humorist —than WILLIAM HOGARTH ? Have we not had a TENIERS of the farm-yard in MostLAND ' —a HOBBIMA in COLLINS—have we not still living a rival of VANDERTELDT in STANFIELD—a greater than SNYDERS in LA.NDSEER ! From the minor walks of the art, like that discernible in the school of fruit painting, in which GEORGE LANCE, for tzample, defies comparison—from the lesser departments of this beautiful Art up to its noblest and sublimest—where the Artist stands forth, not simply as the interpreter, but as the Tisual Poet of Nature—England has, so to speak, among her own indigenous Painters, claimants not so much fur a High Position as for absolute Pre-eminence ! Enough will have been said, however, upon this livision of our subject, when the one great, incontestably great, name of TURNER has been mentioned. Then as to the other glorious cultivators of Art in this country—illustrious " Masters," whose very existence has been thus cavalierly ignored by the Times of this morning ! Among Sculptors—had FLAXUAN no " classic I.OIIIUS ?" W.as WEDGEWOOD no Potter ? When "gifted" Carvers have been enumerated, have we never heard mention made of the name of GRIN LING GIBBONS? Seriously, indeed, we ask—ls there not something either Pert or Obtuse in that astounding assertion to-day in the columns of our contemporary the Times : " Whether England is ever to have great historical punters, sculptors of classic genius, gifted carvers, and potters, and upholsterers, and pattern designers, is hidden in the future." Again we say--This is either evidence of the Pert or of the Obtuse. No—we do not arrogantly purpose Beginning the Cultivation of Att in this country—rather be it said, we purpose beginning, from this time forth, its better Appreciation, as well as a more judicious Application of its ele vating and humanizing Influences.

It is said that it attracts visitors from the country, that it creates a demand for furnished houses and furnished lodgings in the Irish Me tropolis during a few weeks ! If such be the case, the money is withdrawn from the localities where it is oLtained, and where it ought to be expended. To provide for the additional outl'ty, tenants are screwed, and the domestic establish ment placed on reduced allowance. An ab senteeism iu Dublin is, t') all intents and purposes, as bad for parties in Curk, Belfast, or Galway, as if it were in London. What the Dublin shop keepers and house agents gain is virtually taken from every district throughout the sister kingdom. Let there be a fair competition ; but do not apply national money to turn the contest in favour of one of the competing partiLv. The favourite argument, however, is, " where can we exhibit our daughters, where apply for situations for our sons, if the Lord Lieutenancy be abolished ?" shall not insult the fair daughters of Erin by supposing that their own attraaions are not sufficient without being "trotted out" in the 'Viceregal mart ! TLo same patties will marry, and be given in marriage ; celibacy will not be encouraged because there are no Cast' e balls or di awing -rooms to serve as places of meet ing. Indeed the extravagant outlay occasioned by the Court dresses, are., more frequently de tracts from than encourages " the consummation so devoutly to be wished for." As to asking places for sons, that produces the most mischievous tesults. " The Castle" be comes a hot-bed of jobbery and corruption. It distracts the attention of young men from honest industry. They are nil seeking for place, and sacrifice their youth and inde pendence in the pursuit. lJnfortunaiely, as in all lotteries, there are many blanks, for each prize ; and if we take the aggregate of those obtaining their wishes, and of those deeply and bitterly disappointed, and the loFs of time and money occasioned by the pursuit, there can be no doubt that it would be well for Ireland and for the rising generation that the glittering bait should be withdrawn, and that they should be taught to look more to their own exertions, and less to patronage and backstairs influence. Oa every ground the Viceroyalty should be abolished, and Ireland amalgamated completely with Eng land—rendered in every respect a portion of the empire, and not a mere province. LATEST N E FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The number of votes stated in the Moniteur of yesterday to have been recorded for the Govern ment and Opposition candidates respectively, in each of the three circumscriptions, agrees with the telegraphic despatch we published yesterday, ex cept that the Moniteur makes out General Cavaig nac's majority to be 1,007 overlis opponent, in stead of 993, as formerly stated. The new Legislatve Body contains three mem bers of the Jewish persuasion —MM. Koenigs warter, Goudchaux, and Leopold Javal. The Univers Israelite expresses its satisfaction at this Success, which it terms " exceedingly honourable for the Jews of France, and for the noble spirit of tolerance which animates the country." A Paris letter, in the Independence of Brusels, says :—" A good deal is said in the financial world of the second report on the present money crisis addressed to the Emperor by M. Emile Pereire. That gentleman is stated to have taken for his text these words, pronounced by the Emperor in 1850 when addressing the Counc'l-General of Agriculture and Commerce :—" Credit, let us not forget, is the moral part of material interests—the spirit which animates the body—it increases tenfold by confi dence the value of all producions.' M. Pereire then explains how it is that within the last five months the public fortune has decreased by 980,000,000 francs ; and he concludes by these words—" The budget of fear almost equals the budget ofyrance."

SEVENTH DAY-TUESDAY. The Court met to-day at ten o'clock. of 1856. On the 9th January, 1857, she writes wishe - ig she could Lave hen with he in bed, but she has also an observation to the effect that she could not see him, and that he must just leave the not 3 and go away. " When we shall meet again I cannot tell." On Saturday, the 10th, she writes, hoping he had , got her note, f ear i ng th at th ere was not much chance of meeting him again at that time, and using the strongest terms of endearment—per haps in ten days she could see him again—" the same as last." On Wednesday, the 14th, she writes that she does not see that there is anychance for them getting married at E , linhurgh, and thatshe had dined with Miunoch, and liked him. On Mon day, the 19th, she writes—a manifest chill having come over her expressions —saying that she forgot she would not be at home to receive her letter, but that C. H. would take it in, and that she had so loved him when he was at the window the night before—so that the jury would observe that she had been at the window with him on the night of Sunday thelBthJanuary. The envelope of letter No. 97, Friday, Jan. 23, contained another letter, bearing date Sunday; but it is in pencil, and probably never was in an enve lope at all. It speaks of him having just left her. The true date is obviously Sunday, the 18th, as proved by her letter of 19th. The next date is Wed nesday Jan. 21. She asks why there was no letter on Monday night, and saying she could not see him on Thursday. The next was Thursday, saying the marriage must be put off—that there was no chance till March. On the 28th the prisoner accepts Mr. Miunoch—this letter having been written on the 23d. The next documents were only enve lopes, and then they came to two letters of the deepest possible consequence ; but before reading them they must mark Mr. Kennedy's evidence, that in February L'Angelier had said with tears that Miss Smith had broken off because there was coolness on' both side', but that he would not give up the letters, and that she should never wrong any other man. One of these letters began, " I felt truly astonished at having my letters returned," &c., and repeating the very words about " coolness on both Bidet," which had been repeated by L'Angelier to Kennedy. In that letter she asked him to bring her let ters and likeness on Thursday evening, and that she would give him back his on Friday. She represented that the only reason was coolness on both sides. She was engaged to Minnoch four days before. She was to return the deceased's letters— therefore she had letters ; what became of them we have had no explanation whatever. What a laby rinth of bewilderment this unhappy girl, by her lapse of virtue, was involving herself in ! She thought that what she said would induce L'Ange lier to fly off indignantly. She had horrible re• collections of the correspondence, and that he had her in his power. L'Angelier did not answer for more than a week ; and on the 9th she appointed. Thursday, the 12th, for him to come to the win• dow. L'Angelier refused to give up the letters or to give up her, but said he would show them to her father. If things had not gone so far between these two, it might have been ungenerous and unmanly in L'Angelier to take this course ; but he was bound in honour to prevent Minnoch marrying her. He considered her as his wife, and it is doub - ful whether she was not so in law. The appoint ment stood for the 12th, and on Monday, the 9th, she wrote the letter imploring him not to put her to open shame, and saying, " I am free from all en gagement at present"—a deliberate falsehood of this unhappy girl, and yet one of the least of her crimes. They had thus traced the matter to the point at which she could not extricate herself, and yet at which, if not extricated, she is lost for ever. Ano ther letterfoilowed inthesame imploring strain, and confessing that she had "put upon paper what she ought not." It wastrue, poorcreature! Hecould not see in this sad history the gradual downward pro gress of an ill-regulated mind without the most deep compassion ; nor would he deny that L'An gelier .had abused his opportunities in an unmanly rand dishonourable way—his learned opponent could scarcely say 'anything on that point in which he would. not concur. She then writes the false ho -, d, even in this despairing .remonstrance, that she had given ail her love to him, and cared for no one else. He (the Lord AdVocate) had never had to bring before any;audience the outpourings of such a despairing spirit as those of this miserable girl ; but the jury, though unable to restrain their com passion, must not . let their judgment be influ enced. They must also take into account some surrounding circumstances. L'Angelier seems to have loved her, and he said her conduct would be the death of him. Two important cir cumstances now occurred. In the sec on. week of Feb. she sent a boy for prussic acid. She had ceased to love L'Angelier—she had resolved to marry ano ther. Vor what could she wane thepruss c acid? For what purpose did she say she wanted it ? For her hands—a cosmetic. There is the first indication of what her mind was running o:i. Thera had beau a good deal of medical evidence in this case, but had anybody ever said that prussic acid had been used as a cosmetic ? She wanted this poison before the meeting she had appoin•ed for Wedi s iesday, the 11th February. Catharine Haggart had said that some weeks before the apprehension they had a meeting iu the house ; and he (the Lord Advocate)had shown from the letters that no meeting had taken place ou any other occasion. The prisoner had denied to M. de Theau that the deceased had ever been in the house at all. What took place at that inter view they could not tell ; but they found that the feud had been made up. But on what terms ? Not on the footing of L'Angelier giving up the letters, but on the footing of their engagement continuing. She went on with the old tone of love and affec don towards L'Angelier, and at the same time going on with the preparations foe her marriage with Minnoch, and receiving the congratulations of her friends. She writes appointing a meeting for Thursday, and wanting back her " cool lett Ts," four in number. Thursday was the 19th of Feb ruary. On Tuesday the 17th L'Angelier dined with Miss Perry, and told her he was to see Miss Smith on the 19th. He afterwards t.ild Miss Perry he had seen her on the 19th. A day or two before the 22d of February—l say the 19th— L'Augelier was seized with illness. Those symp toms were the symptoms of arsenical poisoning. He went to the office the day after the 20th ; on the 21st the prisoner purchased arsenic. This was not the first time she had tried to buy poison. She asked for the arsenic openly ; but the use she alleged was, on her own confession, a fa'se hood. Having purchased arsenic on the 21st, L'Angelier saw her on the 22d, and was again seized with the same illness. If the jury be lieved Miss Perry, L'Angelier told her he had seen the prisoner on the 19th, and bad been afterwards ill ; and had seen her aga i n on t h e 22d, and had again been ill ; and that he got from her coffee on the one occasion and chololate on the other. On Wednesday the 25th February—which he insisted was the true date of the letter—the prisoner wrote to the deceased, regretting he was ill, .and saying that "everybody was complaining—it must be something in the air ;" and saying, " You - did look bad on Sunday night and Monday morning." She thought it must have been the long walk and the want of food, so she would give him a loaf of bread next time. She was taking some stuff herself to make her lo Ai better. That letter proved that they had met, that she intended to give him something to eat next time, that she was preparing by saying she used stuff as a cosme tic, and that all this took place after she had beu _h the arsenic. There was a letter, only dated Wed nesday, which must have ben written on Wed nesday, the 25th of February. They were inquir ing into the death of a person who died of arsenic, and into the causes of two other illnesses. They must look at the fat's that L'Angelier said he was ill after ta!iing from tie prisoner coffee on one occasion and cocoa on the other ; that the pri soner admitted that she had given cocoa ; that she Foes( s-ea the means of preparing it ; that the two it nes.e3 were the same in symptoms; that those symptoms were the symptoms of arsenical poison ing. Still more important it was to remember what was then the position of the parties. The Lord Advocate then spoke of what had been said about the prisoner having been told at school, and read in Blackwood, that arsenic could be used as a cosmetic. But that was the internal use—she was not following the di rect i ons of the magazine,in using it externally as she had said she did. There could not be a word of truth in her saying that she had there u se d t h e whole quantity at She had told two y at once in a basin of wa t er. falsehoods about the arsenic —One confessed, the other denied. Could there be any reasonable doubt that she had got it to kill the deceased ? The de ceased gets better —and on the 27th of February the prisoner mites saying she 'could not see him that week nor f or a wea. What was L'Anee her about all this time? He was entirely changed—he never recovered his looks nor his health. He never had before been de tained by ill ness f rom attendance at th e office. His love for Miss Smith remained—he said he was infatuat e d, and that, if she were to poison him, he could forgive hee. Unless he felt he had got something in the coffee and cocoa, what could have put this in his head ? Miss Perry did nut say th a t t hi s was a ser ious belief on his part— but it had p asse d through his brain, and been driven away • they would see how. On Tuesday the 3d March, and Wednesday the 4th, the prisoner wrote, advising the deceased not to go to the Bridge of Allan, where her family were going on the 6th, but rather go to the Isle of Wight. Probably she thought if she could get . him out of the w a y s h e could have her marriage with Minnoch without in terruption. It could not but strike the jury that these later letters, though using the same words, The Lord Advocate proceeded to address the jury for the prosecution. He began by remarking that, after an investigation of unexamr led length, be had to discharge the most painful duty that had ever fallen to his share. It was impossible that during so long a trial, in which so many necessarily dis jointed statements had been laid before them, some impression—he feared there was little doubt what that must be—had not been produced upon their minds. It was now his duty to join together the various links of evidence, so that they might be able to arrive at a decision on the whole case. He wished he bad been able, after hearing the evi dence on both sides, to withdraw the case ; but he feared, and it would be his duty to convince the jury, that there could be no doubt of the guilt of the unhappy prisoner. There were three offences charged, but they hung together. He would not lead them farther than necessary into those scenes of sin and degradation with which the case was fraught—no language of his, nor of his friend on the other side, could produce a tenth of the im pression already produced by the bare recital. He would add that, while the unfortunate lady is entitled to have it said that such a charge shall not be lightly presumed, if the tale he had to tell were a true one, no criminal had ever bQen more justly brought within the compass and power of the law. The first point to be taken was, that this unfortunate man L'Angelier died of arsenic—of that there was no doubt. The next question was, by whom was that poison administered ? He must, after the course ti ,e trial had taken, put them right as to the steps taken on the part of the prosecution. They must draw a distinction between remarks applying generally to the system of prosecutions, and those which really affect the case of the prisoner. He knew of no case in which such large indulgence had been given to the prisoner, who, he could show clearly, had suffered nothing from any imperfections in the preparation of the case. He then went over the circumstances regarding the examination of the letters in L'Angelier's lodgings and in his desk at the office. It had been said that this was a very loose way of doing business. He would not say that the proceedings were, in the first place, what he would have liked them to be ; but that did not in the least affect the prisoner. If these letters had not been in the hands of officers of the law at all, but in the hands of relatives, they would still have been good evidence. The complaint was made of the Crown having refused access to the original documents ; it was absolutely necessary to retain every scrap to prove the handwriting and trace the dates, and to guard against the slightest risk of their being lost or injured. The prisoner had chosen to run her letters, rendering it absolutely necessary that the case shouldl be prepared within a limited time. If the prisoner's advisers thought proper, they could at once have obtained delay from the prosecution. Whatever might have been the theory it has not been the practice that the Sheriff-Clerk should have the custody of such docu ments. It had been said that we should neverhave only part of a correspondence in a c Ise like this. He agreed; but he had produced all that could be got. It was only one side of the correspondence. They had nearly 2001etters of the prisrmer—only one copy of a let ter from the deceased. How came this? They would see from the correspondence that the lett era of L'An gelier were not destroyed down to the 7th or Bth of February, and yet no scrap of it could be found. The prosecution had done all it could to make that corre spondence complete, and they would draw their own inference from the fact that not a scrap had been found of the letters that were in custody of the pri soner. As to the difficulty of connecting the let ters with the envelopes bearing the postmark, there was no doubt that the use of envelopes was an ob st tc'e to the tracing of facts in such cases ; but if the officers were scrupulously accurate in handlint , the letters, the objection was not formidable. If the date of the letter say Monday night, and the postmark say Tuesday, such facts would show that, so far as there could be any certainty, the letters had. been found in their proper envelopes. But it was more important to notice that they proved their own dates by the facts that they tali. He came back to the painful details of the case. This young lady returned from a London boarding school at the age of seventeen. She met Angelier in 1851, or beginning of 1855. In 1851 he had been poor, but bad worked his way up to a comparatively re• spectable position—liked by all those th.st came in contact with him—spoken of by his landladies, em ployers, and others, •as honest and steady. An at tachment arose, which was forbidden by the parents ; and it was only right to say that the let ters at that tune were in a proper and dutiful spirit. The attachment was afterwards resumed, and led to a criminal connexion. He afterwards threatened to show the letters to her father. There was no- thing dishonourable in this—the dishonour would have been in allowing her to , become the wife of any honest man. She implores to get her lettois back. She then bought arsenic. Then her letters resume all the ardour of passion—she is enga g ed to be married to another man and L'Angelier died of poison. If the proof be such that no reasonable man can doubt the guilt, then incredible as the story may be, and fearful as would be the result of the ver dict, that verdict must be given. In occult cases the ends of justice would be perpetually defeated if there were no conviction except some witness saw the deed done—and in cases of poison that remark applied with peculiar force, as poison is not likely to be administered before witnesses. The fact of there being no eye-witness to the administration of poison goes for nothing. He would now consider the evidence in detail, going in order of time, be ginning with the 29th of April, 1856. The letter of that date asks to see the prisoner the first night her father is " off," in order that they might " spend an hour of bliss." On Friday, 2d May, she writes that her father had been in bed ; but it would make no difference—he was to go to the gate at half-past ten, and wait for her on Tuesday the 6th May. The next lett r was Wednesday morn ing, the 7th May—trusting he got home safe, and containing most unmistakeable evidence of their having had guilty connection the night before. The language was not to be mistaken. That date was the commencement of the tragedy. From that time down to the end of the year she continued to write in a strain he would not characterise—show ing an utter overthrow of the moral sense, and ex hibiting a picture which he did not know ever had a parallel. If it is said that L'Angelier had his own share in corrupting, it could have been but a small share. He then referred to the letter of the 27th May containing unmistakeable allusions and invitations to further connection, and arguing that their intimacy had not been criminal nor sinful, as she was his wife. In another letter she s rya she could not see him till the nights were longer. He then referred to the letter, obviously in September 1856, in which she alludes to Mi n . noch, which she did frequently afterwards, obvi ously preparing the deceased to learn that she in clined to favour that gentleman. He then quote I the letter written before the prisoner went t Blythswoo i-square, saying that she could not admit him, owing to her room being on the same floor as the front door—a difficulty tee jury would see had been got over. She so arranged as to have her room in the sunk storey, and that her window, which was below the level of the pavement, should be the depository of the correspondence, in support of which statement his lordship quoted the letter advising the deceased to use brown enve velopes as being less liable to be seen when dropped down to her window. The jury were then requested to e?camine a plan of the house, the Lord Advocate arguing that entry could be obwned to both flats without disturbing the sleepers in the bed-rooms. He then quoted the first letter from Blythswood-square telling him to come and drop in a letter at eight o'clock, and saying she could let him in at the front door, adding that she would not let a chance pass. He calle particular attention to the fact that she could give admission at the front door without disturbing the family. He then came to the letters, from which it appeared that there was a serious intention of the parties to elope. Letter No. 73 (17th De cember) showed she was going to a concert, and that her brother and sister had issued invitations to a party. A letter of the 19th complained that the deceased had misrepresented her as to the circum stances under which Minnoch had accompanied her to the concert, and that he always doubted her word. There was evidence here that, a fter the first few weeks of h er intercourse, her feelings to wards L'Angelier c h ange d . She says in another letter that her coolness began when they came to Glasgow in November. The letter No. 79 was of great consequence, as referring to meetings iu the Blythswood-square house —from internal evidence, it must have been posted about the 22d December. Then came a letter, inviting him to the house if her father and mother went to Edinburgh—she could let him in—there was no danger. That meant, you shall come into the house—does it not mean, you have been in the house ? The correspondence thus far proved the greatest intimacy L—of such a cha racter that no eye could have seen it with out the character of the prisoner, being blasted —she, speaking as being actually the deceased's wife, and engaging not even to flrt with Mr. Min noch—in that position were the parties at the end • TURKEY. We have received Constantinople journals and letters to the 25th ult., but they contain little of interest teyond what; has been already published by telegraph. M. Blondeel, the Belgian Minister, was to lave on the 26th for Athens, as had been an nounced.

The progress made by the commissioned appointed to examine into the question of the navigation of the Danube is not so great as has been supposed.

The Lord A Ivo at h. et read L'Arigcliet's reply c mplatoing of the coldness and shortness of the prisoner's notes, referring to what he had heard about Mr. Minnocb, refusing to go to the Isle of Wight, and speaking of their unhappiness at the last preceding interview. This was written on , the sth March—he says he will not go to the Isle of Wight, and that if evasions continue he will get at the truth otherwise. The next day the prisoner buys her second ounce of ar senic. She writes saying she would be happy to meet him again. The pretences on which she bought the arsenic were different from the former, and yet quite false, She wrote from Bridge of Al lan, on 10th March, that they would soon be home, and that she would appoint an interview, when she would kiss and embrace him; and again on the 13th to the same effi-ct. What had been done at Bridge of Allan ? She had fixed the day of her marriage with Minnoch. L'Ange lier got leave of absence on the 6th, and goes to Edinburgh for a week. He repeated to Mr. Towers that he had been ill after getting coffee from somebody. The week over, he was longing for a letter. He returned to Glasgow on the 17th ; he went to Bridge of Allan on Thursday, the 19th ; and after that a letter came, which was sent aft -r him from his lodgings— that letterwas not recovered, but the envelope was found in the tourist's b tg belonging to the deceased, and reached Stirling on the morning of the 20th. On that day M. L'Angelier wrote to his correspon dent that he " should have come to see some one, but the letter had arrive] too late." The prisoner then wrote--" Why did you net come," dm, fwith. many tender expres=ioes. That letter was found in the pocket of L'Angelier's coat. There was an appointment for Thursday, the 19th ; on. Wed nesday, the 18th, she bought her third ounce of arsenic. L'Angelier got that' letter after nine o'clock at Stirling on the Sunday morning. The guard recognisA him as leaving at Coati:Ridge; and he started with ROSS in perfect health to walk to Glasgow. He arrived at his lodgings at 8 o'clock, and his landlady said be was immensely improved in health. He said a letter bad brought him back, and his landlady never doubted he was going to visit the lady. He is seen sauntering along in . the direction of Blythswood-square about 9.20 ; it is too soon : he makes a call ; and here we lose sight of him for two or three hours. There is no attempt to show that any man saw him elsewhere than at the place he was going to. Could it be possible that after coming from Bridge of Allan he would give up his purpose - Within a few hundred yards of the house ? He knew the habits of the family—he knew he must wait till Janet was asleep. What would he do ? He would go to the window. Is it possible that she would not be waiting for him—that she went to sleep that night and never awoke till the morning 7 Whatever took place, the jui y could not doubt that L'Angelier went to the house ; and they would mark that the prisoner denied it in her declaration. Where did they see him next ? Doubled. up with agony at his own door —then the same symptoms as before— then death. Nobody asked where he had been. They knew the unfortunate victim, unwilling to admit even to himself what he suspected, objected at first that it was too far to go for his own doctor, but is willing Dr. Stevens should be sent for, if he is a good doctor. Was it not strange that the counsel did not ask Mrs. Jenkins whether she thought it was a case of suicide ? The doctor asked whether there was anyone he' would like to see, and he. said Miss Perry ; and it was. a pity that Miss Perry did- not see him, for more might then have been known of the case ; but death suddenly interposed and shrouded the events of that extraordinary night in a mystery on which -Ale tongue of the vic im could thenceforth throw no further light. His lordship next read the letter by the prisoner from the Bridge of Allan to Mr. Minnoch, remarking that it was written two days before her assignation with L'Angelier, and four days before the note found in his pocket after death. The composure she manifested on hearing of his death was consistent with the supposition of her crime • but what b ecame o f h er on t h e morn i ng o f the 2tith, before she was found in the Helensburgh -teatner, is unknown and unexplained. The learned bold then proceeded to remark on the evidence for the defence, and first on the prisoner's declaration, which he read. He had not been able to find either in Chambers or Blackwood that arsenic had ever been used in water as a cosmetic, those articles showing that it was t a k en internally.. In her declaration, prisoner denied seeing or hearing L'Angel er on the night of his death. Her sister Janet, the maid, and the page, all said they did not hear him come that night. But he had been there often before without their hearing, and it had been shown from the construction of the house that be might have been let in by the front door. As to the arsenic, she stood in the position of having in her possession the poison of which her lover died, without herself giving a consistent account of it. But it was plausibly said the meeting which was intended to take place was on Saturday, and not Sunday. If, however, the letter was posted after eleven o'clock, the tryst must have t een for Sunday. As to the supposition of suicide, he had been unable to see, from first to last, that it was a case of suicide. The first question was, whether it was between murder and suicide. It had been said that L'Angelier was an habitual eater of arsenic, and had taken an over dose. The only evidence in support of that proposi tion was that of two persons in Dundee, who bad heard him speak of taking arsenic in 1853, and the hypothesis that he could have taken it so as to have 160 grains in his stomach, when examined, could not be entertained. The supposition that he bad taken arsenic at Stirling byaccideut was equally un tenable. He did not think it possible that this could be taken as a case of suicide. Much had been said of L'Angelier's temperament, and his threats of suicide when in Dundee ; but he did not carry those th eats into execution ; and when men really committed suicide, they did not talk about it, or pretend to mak e a t temp t s at i t i n the company of other people. As to his opinions of suicide ex pressed at Glasgow, he (Lord Advocate) asked if it was probable that, on the Sunday night o f hi; death, beto o k arsenic without going near Myths wood-square, there was the possibility that she might have seen and told him she would give him up, after which he cnnmitted suicide. But if she did see him, what became of the truth of her declaration ? It might be suggested that he e had gone to the house, and, not seeing her came away in disgust ; but if he had gone, he would have tried to make her hear, alahough she says in her declaratiL n she did not hear him. It was next suggested that the dose was so large that it must have been suicide, but might it n et have been that, finding the two does she hal previously given were too small, she made the third one much larger I Then it was objected that nether soot nor indigo was found in the stomach of L'Ang,elier, but the analysis did not direct their examination to'detect it. Again, the demeabour of the patient was in no respect that of one who had committed suicide. In conclusion, the Lord Advn" cite left the case entirely in the hands of the jury, convinced that their verdict would be consistent with their oath. He Lad discharged a painful public duty, which he would gladly have been spared. He had done his duty, not straining the facts beyond the line of truth. At the suggestion of the Lord Justice-Clerk, the Dean of Faculty postponed his reply until to-mor row morning. The Court they adjourned at 20 minutes past three o'clock, GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. MEETING THIS DAY. This day an extraordinary meeting of the share• h&ders of this company was held for the purpose of con' sldering the bill now before Parliament for making provisions with respect to capital faudulently created by Red path, in the Great Northern Railway. The chair was occupied by Mr. Denison. The greatest excitement existed in consequence of the opposition of the preference shareholders to the bill. A long, and stormy discussion ensued on the motion of the Chairman that the bill be adopted. An amendment was moved to the effect that a clause be introduced in the bill for the purpose of protecting th e preference shareholders in accordance with the pl , dge made to them by the directors on the 4th of March. The CHAIRMAN put the amendment to, the meeting, and said he thought it was carried by a small majority. A poll was demanded. The Lambeth Election Cotumittee commence their sitting on Friday next. Another mysterious robbery has taken place on board the ship Armenia, which lately cleared out of the nevi Victoria Docks for Mauritius. A. box containing 2,000 sovereigns bad been stolen.
