Wherever a Liberal candidate has appeared upon the county hustings remarkable evidence has been afforded of the progress of those principles which tend to the perfect emancipation of commerce, and the furtherance of constitutional reform. Almost, with out an exception, the county elections which have been contested have terminated in the triumphant return of men devoted to the popular progression, as well as of men devoted to the Protectionist retrogres sion. In consequence of those successes the Conser vative influence has been nullified in several of its old strongholds ; for the balance of the Free-trade Mem ber and the Protectionist Member for one and the same shire will materially lessen the force of the latter upon the division lists of the approaching Par liament. Thus, for North Durham there are Suarro, a Liberal, and SEAHAM, a Conservative ; for South Durham there are VANE, a Liberal, and FARRER, a Conservative; for the Southern Division of Northum berland there are OGLE, a Liberal, and BELL, a Con servative; for East Somerseishire there are PINNEY, a Liberal, andM ß iL u e x s t , o a ri, C a ons L e i rvat al ive ; fdor BRAM• South Essex there are e ETON, a Conservative. ; for Northr Li ber al, and there are STANLEY, a Liberal, and EGERTON, a Conserva tive ; for Bedfordshire there are Russma., a Liberal, and ALFORD, a Conservative ; for North Lancashire there are lizywoon, a Liberal, and PATTER, a Con servative ; for West Kent there are HoDoes, a Liberal, and FILMER, a Conservative ; fer North Hampshire there are LEFEVRE, a Liberal, and HEATH.. COTE, a Conservative ; for West Gloucestershire there are BERKELEY, a Liberal, and HALE, a Conservative; for South Staffordshire there are ANsoN, a Liberal, And INGEBTaE, a Conservative ; for West Surrey there are DENISON, a Liberal, and DRUMMOND, a Conservative; and for East Worcestershire there are FOLEY, a .Liberal, and RUSHOUT, a Con servative. In England alone, therefore, there are already fourteen important county con stituencies where the Protectionist influence is , nullified by the coupling of Liberal candidates with those who are stau nch adherents to the Party. these Country Besidesthere are five other county constitu enc i es of imm ense interest, either by their numerical strength, or th e i r their position, which ha ve re magnitnde, or Pose their confidence of d the most liberal opinions : these five constituencies being North Der byshire, South Lancashire, East Cumberland, the West Riding of Yorkshire, and Middlesex. The decision recorded yesterday at the polling_ booths by the electors of the metropolitan shire i s one of no ordinary importance. It recalls to our re collection the days when Middlesex was satisfied only with representatives pledged in the most decisive manner to the furtherance of constitutional reforms. It reminds us, moreover, not only of the historical triumphs ,_ of JOHN WILKES in 1768 and 1769, and of L,..."" equally memorable return of the then g lorious Sir Eaaacis BURDETT, in 1802, but it revives a retro spection of the reception given by the Middlesex constituents to the late Father of the House of Com mons during the contest of that memorable election. It reminds us, too, of 1 820, when GEORGE BYNG was again associated with a\Vhig, in the person of SAMUEL CHARLES WHITBR E AD; afterwards of n the successive electi ons of 1830, a of d lB3l, of 1832, and of 1835, when G EOR GE the Radical , llt3G) the Whig, and Joszru HUME, were sent to Parlia ment together as the repr esen t at i vesof the electors of Middlesex. It must still be in the recollection of some thousands that, in 1837, Mr. HumE was thrown cut, and Colonel (then Captain) TRODIAS WOOD, THE SUN, L OND WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUG-ITST 14_1847. returned with flying colours of blue and scarlet. Colonel WOOD, as the Tory candidate, was, in like manner, accepted in 1841 by the voters of Middlesex. In 1847, that same Colon el WOOD is rejected by that same constituency, and two staunch supporters of the Liberal policy elected as the representative knights of the metropolitan shire. The triumph of Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR and of Mr. RALPH BERNAL OsuoaNz is no mere casual or unnoticeable success of the principles with which they are identified. It is a brilliant proof of the predominance of those principles among the bulk of the intelligent population, and it should encourage the Liberal electors of the United Kingdom to ensure in some manner the election of such men as Mr. ROEBUCK and Mr. HAWES to seats in Parliament, instead of in citing them to raise testimonials of a pecuniary cha racter as expressions of esteem and gratitude. In stead of speculating upon the possible demise of Mr. BARNARD, and of the popular favourite THOMAS DUNCOMBE—both of whom will, we trust, continue their patriotic labours in the Legislature years to come—the yet unrepresented electors of England should endeavour to secure for themselves the intel ligence and honesty of HAWES and ROEBUCK. The explanation given by Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS, the newly-elected M.P. for the city of Dublin, at Conciliation Hall, on Monday, of all the incidents relating to his victory, affords a curious illustration of the manner in which elections are carried on in the sister kingdom. If any doubt previously existed as to the happy land that could boast of Mr. REY NOLDS as one of its especial children, it would be wholly removed by his statement. Although it is impossible to repress a smile at the tone and manner of his self-gratulatory harangue, there are circum stances connected with the case that undoubtedly afford matter for deep and serious reflection, and a due consideration of which will, we trust, lead to the abolition of some of the abuses that are still suffered to prevail in the manner by which the representatives of the people are elected. Mr. REYNOLDS, with true Hibernian mo desty, compares his recent election with that of the departed Liberator for the county of Clare in 1828, and he complacently states that his own was by far the more remarkable of the two, and deduces there from equally favourable results to " repeal " as those which so speedily followed the other victory in the emancipation of his brother Catholics. The newly dubbed M.P., however, proceeds a little too rapidly. He may be well assured that he is no DANIEL O'CoN NELL, neither are the people of both countries so convinced of the justice and propriety of his present demand as they were, in 1828, of the necessity for the immediate removal of all civil and religious disabili ties. In that year the most brilliant and able men of all parties bad proclaimed the injustice of restrictions affecting large bodies of their fellow subjects, for their adherence to the religion of their forefathers, for worshipping their CREATOR in the manner which, in their consciences, they believed to be most correct. The Senate had rung with the in dignant eloquence of CANNING, BROUGHAM, PLUN KETT, TIERNEY, and BURDETT, and of many other able and effective coadjutors, in denunciation of the vile system that had so long been maintained, to the British disgrace, the worst blot upon the escut cheon of England. All the ability, all the enthu siasm, was arrayed on the side of those who had so long been defrauded of their rights, and though an obstructive policy was acted on by many who still supported the exclusion, because it had been continued for ages—because it had become " An aged rice, a grey iniquity," it was apparent that a change was inevitable, and that the speedy abolition of the obnoxious laws was a matter of perfect certainty. It was at such a period that the Clare election added the additional impetus that was required to effect its immediate over throw. Had it never taken place—had Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD, or even a strenuous opponent of the Catholic claims, been returned to Parliament en that occasion, it could not have retarded many months, if at all, the triumph of truth and liberality, the victory of equity and justice. What analogy exists between the then prospects of Catholic Emancipation, and the present prospects of the Repeal of the Unlock ? What popular -Talaea (at least on this side of St. George's Channel) are uplifted in favour of that demand ? What men of sterling talent or ability, in the Senate, are now to be found amongst its advocates ? What legislative majorities have been proclaimed in its favour ? No, Mr. REYNOLDS, you may with as much justice arro gate to yourself an equality in eloquence, in intel lectual power, in discretion, position, and influence with that illustrious patriot now departed, as you can compare the delusive mirage of Repeal with the sober reality of Catholic Emancipation. The Clare election cost, he said, 14,0001. sterling, while that for Dublin cost not a farthing beyond the legal expenses to the Sheriff. In the former there was long preparation, ample funds, and influential friends, while in the latter all these accessories were wanting. The Tory candidates were both men of large fortune, and no doubt as to their return disturbed their equani mity. The Sheriff's demand, which should be satis fied before going to a poll, involved the cost of the erection of one hundred and eighty-two polling booths, with a staff of paid officers in each, with poll books and other necessary adjuncts, by which the preliminary legal expenses were made to amount to the enormous sum of 2,5001., or 8331. 6s. Bd. for each candidate ; and 200 paid individuals were employed. The new legislator describes his position in this diffi culty. "There I stood," said he, " in the midst of that mighty establishment without a penny in my pocket." (Happy position for an aspirant for senatorial honours entering upon such a contest !) " We were run to the saddle skirts. We could only make up 3001. in subscriptions, and I advanced the balance of the Sheriff's fees myself." Ingenious Mr. REYNOLDS, who, without a penny in his pocket, was enabled to advance, at a moment's notice, some 600/. ! What a talent would this be for a Chancellor of the Exche quer. No wonder that the possessor of such a secret should become popular. How will his acquaintance be cultivated by some of his Parliamentary associates, whose more expensive contests must have deranged their financial affairs in no trifling degree. The Sheriff's fees, however, were paid, to the surprise of the Conservatives, in due time, although the manner in which the payment was achieved by the gentleman without a penny in his pocket, is still involved in mystery. Three hundred men offered their gratuitous services as poll clerks and agents, while ten times that number pa trolled the streets as scouts, and used all those mild methods of persuasion, so usual at Irish elections, to hurry the reluctant voters to the poll. A patriotic stationer, Charley Grace, provided poll-books (which, had there been no contest, would have been left on his hands a dead loss), trusting to chance for payment ;1 while 300 jaunting cars (the drivers of which were offended at not being employed on the other side), brought up the voters without expense. may be ascribedTheresult was certainly surprising; but t t o o r h other at t c r a i b u u s e t s e d th it a those .n There is a which pa h passionate' utatee lovevic in the Irish mind for the excitement and tumult, incidental to a contested electio n. The unemployed carmen gladly volunteered their services, because double the number of their companions would be thereby required by the opposing candidates, and they would doubtless feel bound to share their emolu ments with their companions, the immaculate freemen felt deeply indignant at the attempt to defraud them intelligible ae, w of their regu l ars ; and as they were not spo k en t o in an manner by the Tories, they revengede thho oc c asionede fun. plumpingTheee causes rthe Replr, had at least as much to do with the result as the feeling in favour of repeal, and, in ad dition, there was the general feeling that has latterly grown up in favour of liberal opinions, that induced many to prefer even Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS to the men who had aided in the rejection of the Catholic Relief Bill, recently introduced by Mr. WATSON, for the removal of every remaining dis ability from his Roman Catholic brethren. We trust that the * circumstances will not be lost sight of, but that they may lead to an inquiry into " legal expenses " at elections, and the placing of the Sheriff's demand on the constituencies, in place of the candidates ; and also an inquiry into the privi leges of freemen (privileges that are frequently so grossly abused and perverted), with a view to their total abolition. The Prussian State Gazette of the sth publishes the law, passed by the Diet and approved of by the KING, removing several of the civil disabilities under which the Jews of Prussia have hitherto suffered. The interrogatory of the principal prisoners in the affair of the revolution in Prussian Poland having terminated on the sth, the Attorney-General of the Crown addressed the Court in a speech of three hours, in which he gave an analysis of the interroga tory, and maintained that they had been guilty of high treason. He, therefore, called for the application of the law against them. As regards the nationality of M. MisaoLawsm, he contended that his being a Frenchman did not render him the less amenable to the laws of the country against which he had offended. At the sitting of the Swiss Diet, on the sth, the following letter from the Executive Council of Berne to the Vorort was read : " Gentlemen,—The Government of Berne is again obliged to bring under your notice the further communica tions which have reached it relative to the demonstrations taking place in the cantons of the Sonderbund, in spite of the order of the Diet—demonstrations which each day acquire more and more extension. We learn by official reports that on the 9th of July, on a part of the territory of Lucerne. adjoining the Berne district of Segnan, reconnaisances of the ground were made on the Eutlibouch road by several officers of civil and mi litary engineers. The following day works of fortifi cation were commenced in the neighbourhood of Wykenbrucke, on the side of Weissembach. The works occupy a sufficiently great number of per sons, and are pursued without interruption. On the two sides of the road, on the heights, works are being executed near Wykenbrucke. It is asserted that in a short time a military post is to be established on the frontier. Without being desirous of anticipating in any degree the resolutions which no doubt the Federal Assembly will take in presence of such acts, which con stitute a flagrant violation of the compact, we cannot dispense with calling your attention to the possible con sequences of manifestations of so hostile a character, and we are bound by so doing to relieve ourselves from all the responsibility which might result from them." - The dispatch was referred to the committee of the s3ven, amongst whom, it is said, the opinion in fa vour of immediate energetic measures is gaining ground. We read in a letter from Friburg of the 3d : " The national association (Vollisbund) which was finally constituted at Berne on the 27th ult., has officially notified its existence to the Federal Directory through its central committee, which is established at Berne, and has addressed a circular to all the radical so cieties of Switzerland, demanding their most ener getic concurrence in the work of regeneration, pro mising them, in return, its support in case they shall have to contend against the ill-will or direct resistance of their respective Governments. Nevertheless, the central committee, conforming itself to the programme drawn up after the patriotic meeting at Glaris, an nounces that the ass iciation will endeavour to attain its object by confining itself, as long us it shall be possible, within legal means, and act by persuasion before having recourse to more violent measures. The central com nittee has sent emissaries into the seven cantons, form ing the party of the Sonderbund, to harangue the people and prepare the way for the Federal Uommissioners, who are, as there is every reason to believe, about to be delegated by the Diet. Numerous arrests have been made by order of the Government of Valais in the dis tricts of St. Maurice and Moullay, where the leaders of the Radical party had succeeded in forming a brigade of several hundreds of volunteers, who are to join either the Federal troops or the free corps in case of an attack upon the Valais." _ The Suabian Mercury has the following from Vi enna, dated the 2d :—" We learn that twelve bat talions of infantry will soon march towards the frontiers of Italy and Switzerland. The Government is resolved that the Radicals in those countries shall be under no mistake as to its intentions." A letter from Rome states that the new Secretary of State, Cardinal FERBETI, has taken the Jews resident in the capital under his protection, and an nounced that he will punish with the greatest possible rigour all who may insult them. The people, notwithstanding the assertion of Father ROOTHAN to the contrary, persist in regarding the Jesuits as hostile to the liberal system inaugurated by Pius IX., and the Holy Father himself appears to concur in that opinion. On the 31st ult., the day of the festivity of ST. IGNATIUS, the Pora was to have assisted, according to usage, at a ceremony celebrated in the church of their convent. To the great annoyance of the Reverend Fathers, and the sfttisfstotinn of the people,.the Holy Father thought proper to depart from the established rule and abstain. The proceedings against the conspira tors were conducted with activity. The arrest of Colonel FREDDI and Captain ALAI, and the cha racter and previous conduct of the persons placed under the hands of justice, who all belong to the party of the old regime, afford so many proofs of the gravity of the plot. All classes of society in Rome are determined to support the POPE in the glorious mission he has undertaken. The nobility and people have given him sufficient proofs of their devotion. Now is the turn of the clergy. All the religious orders are anxious to contribute towards the institution of the National Guard, and to alle viate the burdens its organization entails on the public. They have all subscribed considerable sums for that object. This conduct of the clergy de serves the greatest praise. It now remains to be seen whether the Jesuits, who possess immense wealth, will also subscribe. They are very capable of it. Letters from Rome of the 31st tilt , mention that the number of persons implicated in the late con spiracy, confined in the Castle of St. Angelo, was about eighty. One of them, the Chevalier MINARDI, was said to have made important disclosures. Cc lonel FREDDI and Captain ALAI, captured at Came rata, on the frontier of Naples, arrived on the 27th ult. at the castle, in charge of Colonel CAPTIVERA and a magistrate named MazzA. The PorE had adopted the helmet, instead of the shako, for the National Guard, because it was worn by the old Romans. The other parts of the uniform also re semble as much as possible the ancient costume. The following deputies were said to have been chosen by his Holiness; namely, Prince SIMONETTI, for Ancona; the Marquis PAOLUCCI, for Forli; Count CAMPELLO, for Spoletto ; M. BENEDETTI, a lawyer, for Civita Vecchia ; M. PIACENTINI, for Rietti ; and Prince BARBERINI and two lawyers, MM. LUNATI and VANUTELLI, for Rome. Madrid papers of the 4th inst. have arrived. The Faro gives an official contradiction to the report that the Bank of Union had applied to rescind the contract for the loan, and declares that the opera tion of the issuing the Treasury bonds has not failed. Mr. BIILWER and Senor PACHECO had gone to La Granja. The Eco del Comercio advocates strongly the recal of ESPARTERO, and says that if the QUEEN were left to the exercise of her own generous senti ments, she would immediately put an end to the exile of the ,man to whom she owes her throne. The uncle and the mother of General SERRANO have arrived at La Granja on a visit. They are in the Palace of St. Ildefonso. News had arrived from Manresa of ,the slaughter of 15 of the QUEEN'S troops in cold blood by a Carlist band, to which they had surrendered. It was rumoured in Madrid that disturbances had broken out in Lisbon. Minn]) BoLss, A --- uo. 4.—The Three per Cents. were dcne at 26i for cash ; the Five ,per Cents. at 17i ; and the Coupons at 15. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Chambers were rprorogued on that day . ,by royal ordonnance. The Journal des Debuts has a long article on the letter of M. WARNERY, accusing the Government of corruption in the affair of the concession of the mines of Algeria. The Ministerial writer does not attethpt to disprove any of the allegations of corruption brought forward by M. WARNERY, but confines itself to as serting that M. WARNERY has no right to designate himself as delegate from Bona, because there is no municipal council there authorised to appoint a dele gate, but that he is merely the delegate of the 121 inhabitants of that place who signed the warrant giving him powers to act for them. If this is the only reply that can be given to so grave an accusation, most assuredly M. TESTE is most hardly used in being victimised 7. s he has been. The Constitutionnel, in a long article on the pro gress of Liberal principles, passes the following severe but unfortunately most just judgment on the conduct of the Guizot Cabinet _ . "Everything around us progresses towards hberty ; the principles proclaimed by the French democracy cast everywhere profound roots in the minds of the people ; everywhere Governments are obliged to reckon with that power of ideas, which increases every day. France alone has not reaped her part in the rich harvest which she herself has sown, and which appears to be reaped alto gether by the labourers of the eleventh hour. What is the conduct of the French Government ? At home, it is endeavouring to root up, one after another, all the germs of liberty and progress ; it recoils before the em ployment of no means, however wretched they may be, to put down in the heart of the populations every gene rous aspiration, every disinterestt d idea ; it infuses into the country egotism, sordid calculations, and the disdain of every patriotic sentiment : it makes use of corruption as of opium to lull to sleep a people which was the mis sionary of liberty, as Poland was its martyr. Abroad, not being able to force liberty back, it endeavours to im pede its course. In England it eulogized the leaders of the Tories until the day they became Liberals ; it sought the alliance of the ultra-Tories, in the hope of overturn ing the Whigs, still tottering in power. In Belgium, it gave its persevering support to mixed Cabinets, the sole I object of which was to paralyze the liberal movement of the country. In Switzerland, what has been for two years its aim ? To make the Diet powerless by rendering a majority impossible. It has endeavoured as much as possible to prevent Geneva from joining the other liberal cantons ; it has rendered a revolution necessary for the purpose of thwarting this system of tactics, which has led to no result but to ruin a little Government credulous enough to look on the eulogiums which were lavished at Paris as serious, and blind enough not to perceive that the alliance of the French Cabinet is the first step to wards ruin. In Italy it endeavoured to discourage the partisans of liberty. It deadened the aspira tions of patriotic pride of the Pontifical Govern ment, and, because it durst not wound the national senti ment, because after a year of doubt and silence it was obliged to make the amende honorable to public opinion, because it was obliged to declare that it is the interest of France that Italy should arrive at liberty, it now wants to turn these tardy words to advantage in order to give itself the honours of a patronage which i❑ secret it de nies. Is it necessary for us to say what French diplo macy has effected in Spain, and what part it desired to play in Portugal? Sterility, abortion, or scandal are the fruits produced everywhere by the policy of October 29; could it be otherwise ? A Liberal Government which denies liberty, a Government raised to power by insur rection, and which imitates divine right, a Government springing from a reaction against the political influence of the clergy, and which endeavours at present to revive for its profit that influence, cannot find any other means of acting than ccrruptinn, and cannot produce anything but what is wretched. The effects are similar to the causes." The appointment of Count BRESSON to Naples has been signed by the KING. This appointment is a bad omen for the cause of progress in Italy. On the occasion of inaugurating the statue of the late Duke of ORLEANS at St. Omer, the private secre tary of the Duchess of ORLEANS has intimated to the Sub -Prefect that the Count DE PARIS has been pleased to decide on placing, at his own expense, at the Ecole des Arts et Metiers, two boys of the town of St. Omer; and that, on the completion of their studies, he will present each with 500 f. in the Savings' Bank. The Princess desires that the two candidates may be selected by the municipality. Great consternation prevails amongst the farmers of the Valley of the Aspe, in consequence of the ap pearance of the black-leg (charbon) amongst their cattle, and which has extended to the district of Oleron. Several men as well as cattle have perished from this frightful malady.

They are delightfully situated at Wanstead, and the gardens and playgrounds attached are of considerable extent. On the 2d instant the institution was opened for the admission of children, and several of those of both sexes, who would otherwise have been unprovided for, are now enjoying the physical, moral, and intellectual advantages which these schools have been founded to bestow. On the day named the children, having previously been arrayed in their new and very neat habiliments, from which we are glad to see all distinctive marks or badges have been wisely excluded by the c omm itt ee , were a tt en d e d to their destination by seve ra l o f th e di rec t ors an d other influential frie▪ nds of the society, besides being accompanied by a considerable number of their rela tives and friends. The little people seemed delighted with their new abode, and soon made themselves at home, running about the grounds with the apparent familiarity of a long acquaintance; and the enjoy ment of the day was undisturbed, except by a touch ing expression of natural feeling on either side as the hour of separation between th em an d th e i r f r i en d s approached, whi▪ ch, however, gave rather a grace to, than detracted from, the general gratification. In the course of the day the whole party partook of a repast which had been hospitably provided for the occasion; and the time of departure having arrived, th e members of the institution and the friends of the children returned home, th e l a tt er express i ng th e i r gra titude for the ki▪ ndness manifested by the commit tee towards the youthful objects of their care, as dis played in the arrangements made for their happiness an d comfort. We cannot close this brief article without remarking that no societies have stronger claimsbtheirlt y uponofb tjnhde general object class considering h e e mpathy than those which have for a education an d suppor t o f d es titute children the importance anti respec for wh ose benefit this particular t io;aet ral 8y institution has been established, we do not doubt that the com mercial world will respon d to i ts c l a i ms u p on their bounty wi▪ th generous alacrity. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, but steady. Sales 2,500 bales, including 2,000 bales American at 61d. to 71d. per lb., and 400 Surat at 4id. to 51d. per lb. Railway Shares were heavy, and prices again lower. Although money has become more in demand since this day week, and is still fully worth 5f per cent. upon approved securities, one reason is very obvious, viz. an increased amount of req lirements existing to meet an augmented trade in the commercial and manufacturing districts, and as the prospects of the harvest are bril liant, so will the spirits of the merchant and trader become elevated. It is not therefore to be considered a matter of surrri:e that money stock has recently been very fully thrown upon the market, the proceeds being destined to work out a larger rate of interest than is yielded by the public securities. In the Colonial mar kets but a small amount of business has been transacted, but even these may improve if Corn continues to recede, and commercial confidence be not so shaken by failures as to prevent any steady continuance of ease in the money market. We hear again of one or two houses in the corn line, both here and in Ireland, being unable to meet their engagements. The exchanges were firmer yesterday, but the dis count of excellent bills is still as high as 5i and 6 per cent., where there are three months to run. The stock market is looking well again, and although there is not much doing, prices are about * per cent. higher again. Consols have been 87 to * for present transfer, and 87* to 878 for account. Exchequer Bills have been par to 4s. premium. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 88-1 to 891. Bank Stock has touched 195 to 197. The Foreign securities c3ntinue very dull. Portu guese Four per Cents have been 80 to 81, and Spanish Three per Cents 30k. Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents. are 561 to In Railway Shares the dealings have been restricted, but holders are enabled to obtain somewhat improved quotations. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS.

CAB LISLE.—John Thompson, who was on Thurs day last convicted of poisoning his wife by administering arsenic to her, has made the following confession : "To the Chaplain of the gaol. I am a guilty man. I went and bought that stuff at the druggist's shop. I bought some of it twice. The first time a fortnight before Whitsuntide ; and again I bought more about two days before my wife died. I mixed it amongst oatmeal, and sometimes amongst butter, or amongst anything that was likely to be given to her. Margaret Kane had no knowledge whatever of what I was doing to my wife. I first began to give arsenic to her about three weeks before she died. I did not give it her myself, but only mixed it amongst what was likel y to be given her. My object in poisoning my wife was that I might marry Margaret Kane. I lived with Margaret Kane just as a man and wife about six months previous to my wife's death. I never told Margaret Kane:that I was a married man, but she had been told by the neighbours that I was married. I lived with my wife on terms of the greatest love and affection before I became acquainted with Mar garet Kane, for twenty years. Margaret Kane pressed me much to marry her, and that (made me more anxious to poison my own wife. I hereby declare this my con fession to be true.—(Signed) Jortx THOMPSON. (Signed) James Thwaytes, Chaplain, and John T. Or ridge. Go vernor, w i tnesse s.— Carlisle Gaol, Aug. 6 , 1847 ." IE SCOTCH IRON TRADE.--GLASGOW, AUG. 7.
