JANUARY 15, 1856. 775 r-E RUGELEY POISONING CASE. T RE • b Inquest upon the bodies of Walter and Anne Palme r, r°tller and wife of William Palmer, surgeon, of Rugeley , was opened at that place on Friday. Mr. John Smith, of Bir tain,h. ' 431, appeared for the accused. Mr. Deane , o f London, repres ented the insurance companies, and Mr. Gardene r, of sf,„ °rd, appeared for the crown. Elie, 'Ph tith f• Palmer servant of the accused, said she had lived for ten years. Mrs. Palmer was taken ill at 184 t'h cl ack, on Wed rnnesed day evening, the 20th September, , when sh e re t u from Liverpool. The deceased said tght she had taken cold. She had some tea and cold 'Text morning she still co mplained of being ill, and l ent NI net bed. M r . P a l me r took her up a cup of tea without celi lld a little dry toast. About noon she st ill com p lained don e 1 1 , e s s. During the Wednesday, she and M r . Palmer k ie attended on the deceased. Witness did not attend her toin t n the latter part of her illness. The deceased never l ig . w.lned of any particular pain. Except when confined Pas never ill. Mr. Palmer also waited on deceased. Wit- Pe t Was not in the room when Mrs. Palmer expired. Mr. deat, slept in his wife's room until the Monday before her tin Dr. B a lf our sent a box of pills and a bottle of medi ew.hich she saw in Mr. Palmer's hand. Witness prepare d I g s age, and tea for deceased. Ite r """a g .,_ Palmer, sister of the accused, said she accompanied I%i: l 'er - in-law (deceased) to Liverpool; on the Tuesday Mrs. ton ee ' r fatigued herself very much there. She went to a %Ir a at St . G eorge ' s -h a ll in a thin white dress. On their tek se n d t° Rugeley, Mrs. Palmer complained of being cold, but the ,to put her feet in warm water and take medicine ; on felt 3,7‘are• rdaY she complained of cold in he r chest, and said she ki n C i _ They had intended to stay a day longe r in Liver holre"sa not the deceased felt unwell. Witness didn't mean, t as v er, to say that deceased was ill. The accused's practice the ", () 0 11 „aned almost to his own family. He was a-member of haiL nege of Surgeons, and an associate of Apothecaries% l'eeeased had a life interest in some property which le With her life. Deceased was always in delicate health. W. W. H. Tindall, of the Atlas Assuranc e Com p an y , said, e Bth February, 1854, Mr. Palmer (the accused) proposed de e ll i i l r _, 4 rance upon the life of his wife, which the company hin, e a,„to accept. The applicant said he was interested in th e 'we s death to the extent of the sum which he requested e t ce t o guaran t e e to him. Ye4 i lda Bardswell said she had known the deceased for , r e She saw her on the Monday after her return from Li by when she was in bed ; she complained of cold caught 14 u . e !il'ing thin clothes. Deceased said that in coming from 4p c f Tool she took something she thought had done her good, h.,sts the follosxing morning attempted to get up, but was ,;401e, being. seized with sickness. Deceased added, that 4 11 Dr. Knight came, he gave her something which had Selfe her g to ood se , e witness, and but she soon got ill a ted her to sitgain. She exp onressedthe bed. her tl. glad r alraer who was in the room, then retir ed. Deceased \\V old witness that it was the sickness which exhausted her. V ies s did not hear deceased say anything more (witness is bread Deceased took gruel, tea, wine, water, grapes, and iiiP She never complained of any pain excepting that aris siZ'rarn sickness. She was not purged much while witness t ler ,slith her until the last. She frequently said she hoped e o Jlevrels would not trouble her again, or she should soon be fef t '• She said this the morning before her death, when she Is h alne unpleasant sensation in her bowels. Witness told r 1; Palmer that her bowels had not acted, but he said that dadconsequence. He spoke words to the effect that that better for her, as she took so little support. For three d/ler bowels were not moved. On the morning of her epth she was purged several times. After that she appeared !seek and very low, and as soon as her bowels were moved h o sickness abated. She did not live more than three or four h e a rs after that; and the purging continued up to the time of !deatli. She died at about one o'clock in the day. She be h er throat felt sore from the vomiting, which strained 4 1 :, throat. She complained at times of h er mouth bein g 1 1 „.7 ; she was not particularly thirsty . Mr. Bamford and ;e* Palmer prescribed for her. Witness gave her some mix e and two pills. Saw no one give her more . The ni g ht took the pills deceased slept more comfortably. She R,..some effervescing draughts prepared and administered sal% Palmer, which seemed to refresh the deceased. She ss always sick in a few minut.ts after taking food. Witness the room with the deceased when she died. She tivuared to go quite low and composed, and for some two h t hree hours before she begged witness not to trouble erself to give her anything. Witness did not notice s,g particular in her breathing. She appeared quite 4 : ll sible to the last. She had no convulsions nor spasms. It il e t.two or three hours before her death that she told wit de,„not to trouble her. The last thing she took before her Harmera was the juice of some grapes. No one else besides Mr. li and witness gave her anything during the time wit- C A S . , I Yas there. He did not give her anything the day that "led. He was with her very frequently—coming into the very often. Mrs. George and Mr. Palmer came to see boten her illness. Mrs. Rowley and witness laid out the y There was nothing peculiar in the appearance of the Was The limbs were not stiff till she was cold. Mr. Palmer : 3 with her several times shortly before she died. Witness CLed the wine and water, for she was afraid of giving it to t ,r too strong. Witness t toted everything but the efferves h:g drau g hts. While she was down stairs the accused m i g ht 4 ,,ve given something to the deceased. During her five con "elnenta accused appeared very attentive to his wife, but did that take her anything. was always particular in seeing the jellies and broth e were made pleasinm to his wife's pala t e,7 and was afraid that witness should give her strength ening food too early. Olr. Bamford, (aged 82,) the surgeon referred to, said— hen he was called in to the de ceased he found her in bed, la bouring under nausea, and so much debility, that sbe had aeat difficulty in giving him an answer. She did not appear have vomited then. Her bowels were in a very constipated :Late, and did not appear to have been moved for twelve or !etirteen hours. He prepared two pills for her to be taken Itamediately, and an opening draught. He afterwards refused 14 prepare any more medicines until Dr. Knight had been !lilted in, who prescribed two small pills. Witness prepared s ir or eight pills, but deceased only took one. They were made of two and a half grains of the compounded extract of reuse nth, half a grain of calomel, and a litle oil of carraway. t . hande the pills to Mr. Palmer, and suggested an injec in- The last time he saw her (on the Tuesday) she was 4 ;1 1(11 3 - sinking, and refused to take any sustenance. The 4" l Ptoms of deceased were those of bilious cholera. Witness 1 1 4 , still of opinion that that was the cause of death. Mr. „ e aner readily consented to Dr. Knight being called in, and 1 t .. 1 t for him instantly. The accused paid every attention to his wife ; no man could be more attentive. He supported her bed while giving her something that appeared to be barley iter, or something of that kiud. Witness declined to give t °Pinion as to the general character af Palmer. Dr. Knight, of Stafford, said, he saw her after receiving a des `l,Ption of her disease from her husband. She was too muc h !pausted to describe her illness. Palmer said that she had had di stressing vomiting, griping, and purging, And that she had t : l .. .tight the cholera at Liverpool, where it was then the pre ,g disease. She did not vomit in his presence, but the ',e,tehing was distressing. Witness required to see the evaeu "‘ed !natter, and was told it had been thrown away. As far as he could form a judgment upon the case, he thought it a se vere form of English cholera — summer chole ra. He pre scribed two minims of diluted prussic acid for the purpo s e of all ayingk_ the retching. He called aga in, and she a pp eared b etter. Palmer promised to send for him if she got worse. Witness knew the deceased from a child, and was one of her taarclians. In 1854 he attended Mrs. Palmer on account of a Proposal that had been made to an insurance o ffice. He found her free from disease. From the testimony which was given death washe nurse of the deceased, he should say that her The not occasioned by c a poison which had been named.

The adjourned inquest on the body of Mrs. Palmer was re. I p t ined, and Professor Taylor, of Guy's Hospital , wa s e xamined. ~.pt e said he received six jars on the 24 th Decembe r. Three " them were labelled " Ann Palmer." I locked them up "atil the 26th, keeping the key in my possession , and then , in Z iiiunction with Dr. es, I proceeded to examine them. We fist examined the stomach contained in jar No. 1. The coats c'!ve firm and well preserved, considering t hat fifteen months as elapsed since death. On the stomach, on its greater end 7.,I;( 1 outside, there was a yellowish - coloured st reak, which, When examined with a magnifying glass, presented the ap earance of mineral matter. It was such an appe arance as I h ave never seen within twenty - five years , exc e p t when there was mineral poison in the stomach. We opened the stomach, 1 :al found neither liquid nor solid contents, but a thin pasty ,,,°°king substance, of a brownish colour, spread over the lining " 4 eMbrane. The full quantity of this amounted to about half teaspoonful. The lining mem b r ane presented slight patches If redness. Its surface was examined by a magnifying glass. , 4 , t was quite free from putrefaction , ulcer ation, or an y or g anic 'cease. The small intestines were next examined. They were eitiPty, but covered on the inside, in parts with a thin brownish o .bstance. The large intestines were then examined. There gas a foetid manna. The inner surface of the rectum , o r lower b owels, was coloured with a deep orange red-coloured sub stance. removing this, and examining the lower bowels, t here was no appearance of disease. The intestines, compara tively speaking, were well preserved, like the stomach. One cf the kidneys, which was enclosed in one of the jars, was cut Zpeu and found to be perfectly healthy. We then examined ja r No. 3, containing the liver, lungs, heart, and spleen. ; They had undergone some change from putrefaction, but were 41 a healthy condition. The gall bladder was especially ;Unlined, and it contained about the usual q uantit y of g all ; ° ll lld in the dead, That bile was thickened , o win g to the long :nterment, to the consistency of a house paste. T he cavities of t he heart were empty : all the valves were free from putrefac ni, firm and healthy. The lungs and sp l e en were softened, "wing to putrefaction, but perfectly free from disease, as far we could judge. We then proceeded to make an analysis of t he different parts. The first we took was the brown paste utter found on the surface of the stomach. In these contents, a bout half a teaspoonful, we found a rather large proporti on ° I a preparation of antimony. We also found a minute proportion of arsenic ; but as arse nic was not found deposited in any of the viscera, and is occasionally an 1111 Purity in ordinary tartar emetic, we consider that !Arsenic in this case was owing to such impurity, and not to Its having been administered. Other poisons were s ou g h t fo r, but there were none. The second ana l y sis was directed t 0 the coats of the stomach, and they yielded antimony. ithirdly, the large and small intestines were examined, and :and to contain antimony in all parts. Fourthly, the orange deposit found on the surface of the rectum, was removed r a id separately examined. Antimony was found in this in „ Rer proportions than in any other part. The orange-red ,aolour of this material was found to be owing to a portion of ~4tilxiony which had become converted sulphuret, as a result Putrefaction in the dead body. The coats of the rectum WereZs also examined, and yielded antimony. The bile was ''liarately examined, and also yielded antimony in large pro -1 i nearly as large as that found in the rectum. The spleen, kidneys, the substance of the heart, and of the b i ' a g's, all yielded antimony. The blood drained from the jar th which these viscera were contained was then analyzed, and 417,8 Yielded antimony. A portion of the lining of the shell Part of the shroud were separately examined, and it Waled no trace of antimony or any mineral substance. All 11 'r tests used were themselves tested before the analysis was t i a de and found to be perfectly pure. In this investig,a -o°4 fifteen different analysis were made of the bodies, i cupyin,g us from the 26th to the 31st of December, and the ve tnelusions at which we arrived from the result of our in tlrtigation were these : first, that all parts of the body of at: deceased examined by us contained antimony. In the f o Mach and intestines the antimony was partly in a soluble h while in the liver, heart, kidneys spleen, and lungs it s econdly been deposited as the result of absorption during life. r ec c latilY, the largest quantity of antimony was found in the tewta.ra and its contents, next in the stomach and its con ,. then in s the n bile taken from the gall bladder, and the smallest quantity was found in the lungs. Thirdly, the pre sence of antimony in the rectum or lower bowels proved that the discharges of the bowels of the deceased contained anti mony up to the time of her death, that she was passing anti mony by purging when she died. We came to that con• elusion before, of course, we had heard the evidence of yes terday, and the presence of this mineral is sufficient to ac count for the vomiting or diarrhoea, or both, from which the deceased is said to have suffered. Fourthly, the conclusion is from the discovery of antimony in the stomach, we infer that a preparation of antimony must have been taken by the deceased within a few hours before her death. Fifthly, from the discovery of antimony in the intestines, especially the rectum, or lower bowel, we infer that the antimonial copper, if not taken by the deceased, was not the result of a series of accidents, and improperly administered to her either Iby ignorance or design. Sixthly, it is our opinion that ' the antimony found by us in the body of the deceased was not the result of one dose, but of several doses, taken at intervals, some days before her death, and till a few hours before her death. Seventhly, that the antimonial preparation taken by the deceased is what is commonly called tartar emetic, and this may or may not have acted as poison, accord ing to circumstances. It may or may notive been the cause of deceased's death. In the event of the absence of any natu ral cause for the deceased's death, it may have accelerated death by producing great depression and exhaustion of the bowels of life. Eighthly, on examination of the stomach, bowels, and other organs of the deceased, we could not detect any changes as the result of natural disease. There was no thing to account for that, on the other hand there was nothing in those appearances inconsistent with the death of the de ceased from tartar emetic. Ido not think that tartar emetic could have been given the deceased by Mr. Bamford in mistake for tartar of potash; because, if so, more severe symptoms would have shown themselves than I have heard described. I must add to that, that in my opinion, she was suffering from tartar emetic before Mr. Bamford first saw her on the Sunday. Tartar emetic, when administered in small quantities, in wine, or other liquid, would not be percep tible to the taste. The smallest dose of tartar emetic I have ever known taken at one time is ten grains. A person would stand a better chance of recovery from rejecting a large dose of poison taken at once than he would when taken iu small quantities. The killing of a person by antimony depends more upon the manner of administering it than by the quantity given. Antimony may be taken in small quantities with safety, but I do not believe that any person could live with the amount of antimony in the system that we found in the deceased's body. It was saturated with antimony. When I found antimony in all parts of the deceased's body, the only Iconclusion I could form was that it was the cause of the retching and severe vomiting which has been deposed to. The liver of the deceased was 42 oz., and we found 2 oz. of anti mony in it, which was more than one-twentieth of the whole, and we therefore considered that the body was saturated with it. I have made a note of the medical evidence yesterday as to the condition of the deceased within eight days of her death, and from the discovery of antimony in all parts of her body, it is my opinion that she died from tartar emetic, and from no other cause. The long orange-red streak on the coat of the stomach satisfies me that it was caused by antimony having been administered for some time in small doses. The witness was cross-examined at some length with a view of showing that the evidence he had now given was irreconcilable with Professor's Taylor's own work on poisons, in which it is stated that poisoning by anti ' mony is accompanied by violent pains. He stated that there ' was no analogy between the circumstances of poisoning by antimony referred to in his book, and the circumstances re vealed by the appearance of the deceased Mrs. Palmer's body. The opinion given in his btSok referred to antimony adminis tered in large doses, whilst in the case of the deceased the appearance of the body showed that antimony had been ad ministered for some time in small doses, and become absorbed in the blood. Dr. Rees, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Fel low of the Royal Society, and also Professor of Materia Me dica at Guy's Hospital, who was associated with Professor Taylor in making the analysis, confirmed the evidence of the last-named gentleman in every respect. Dr. Knight, of Stafford, was recalled, and said —My opinion as to t 4.: cause of the death of Mrs. Anne Palmer has been considerably modified and altered since I have heard the evi dence of Professors Taylor and Rees, and I am inclined to think that I must ba mistaken in the opinion which I gave yesterday under the circumstances stated to me by Mr. Palmer on my visit to*the deceased, Mrs. Palmer, and am now disposed to think that the true cause of death has been assigned by Pro fessors Taylor and Rees. Having heard those opinions, I now believe that when I saw Mrs. Palmer she was suffering from poison by antimony. Mr. Palmer did not tell me what medi cine, if any, he had prescribed before Dr. Bamford was called in. After hearing the statements of Professors Taylor and Rees, and the description given yesterday by Dr. Monckton of the condition of the body aftdr death, there is nothing in consistent with Mrs. Palmer having died from vomiting from natural causes ; yet I don't believe that she did. From the appearance of the viscera, as given by Dr. Monckton, my opinion is, that vomiting was not the cause of death. I found Mrs. Palmer in so exhausted a state that I could not get from her a statement as to her feelings. Mr. Benjamin Miller, surgeon, of Barton-under-Needwood, said, that in January and February, 1854, he examined Mrs. Palmer, on a proposal made by her husband to insure her life for £5OOO in the Scottish Equitable insurance Company. Subsequently, he examined her in the months of January and February, 1854, on proposals made on her life by Mr. Palmer, in the Liverpool Life, the Rock, and the Atlas offices. He found her healthy, and not suffering from any organic disease. He gave a, second certificate as to Mrs. Palmer's state of health, in the case of the Scottish Equitable, at the request of Mr. Palmer, who asked him to give the certificate without again examining Mrs. Palmer, as he had so recently examined her, and she might feel alarmed. From the symptoms spoken to by the medical men in attendance • upon the deceased, the post mortem examination, and the analysis, I am of opinion that the cause of death arose from the repeated administration of small doses of antimony. Mr. Henry T. Lomax, surgeon, of Stafford, stated that, on the Bth of January, 1854, he examined Mrs. Palmer on a pro posal by her husband to insure her life for £3OO, and on the 19th of January he made another examination on a further proposal of Mr. Palmer to insure his wife's life for £3,000. In both cases he certified that Mrs. Palmer was a good life for insurance. Mr. Wakley, manager of the New Equitable Life Assurance Company, said—On the 13th of January, 1854, I received from the last witness the certificate of a proposal for £3OO on the life of Mrs. Palmer, by her husband. On the 19th it was accepted. On the 26th of Junuary, 1854, a further proposal for £3,000 on the life of Mrs. Palmer was received by the office and accepted the same day, but afterwards, on further investigation, it was declined, in consequence of some informa tion received from one of the other offices, and because we heard that proposals had been made by Mr. Palmer on the life of his wife at other offices, and declined. Mr. John Goddard, actuary to the Rock Life Insurance Company, deposed to a proposal being made to their office on the 26th of January, 1854, by W. Palmer, for the assurance of his wife's life for £5,000, for six years. After the proposal was made, the directory wished to know the interest which Mr. Palmer had in his wife's life, the amount for which he was going to insure in other offices, the amount he was about to borrow, and why the proposal was made for six years only. The proposal was ultimately declined. Mr. T. M. Sawbridge, manager of the National Provincial Branch Bank, at Rugeley, and also agent at Rugeley to the Scottish Equitable Insurance Company, deposed to a policy being effected in January, 1854, for £5,000, by W. Palmer, on the life of his wife, Mrs. Anne Palmer, and also to the amount of the policy being paid to Palmer, in March, 1855, after Mrs. Palmer's death. Mr. A. B. Butterfield, a clerk in the Sun Life Insurance Company, produced a proposal made by W. Palmer, on the life of his wife, for £5,000, dated the 10th of February, 1854. The amount of the' policy was paid to Mr. W. Pratt, of Mayfair, after Mrs. Palmer's death, in accordance with a written order by W. Palmer. Mr. J. E. Koch, secretary to the Scottish Amicable In surance Company, said that a proposal was made to that office on the 3rd of January, 1851, by W. Palmer, on the life of his wife, for £3,000. The proposal, after inquiry, was declined. Dr. Monckton produced a bottle which he received from Mr. Bagen, the superintendent of police, at Rugeley, in Wm. Palmer's house, the day on which Palmer was removed from Rugeley to Stafford, on the 17th December. The contents of the bottle were composed of tartarized antimony. He had satisfied himself by tasting it that it was tartarized antimony. It was better known to the public as tartar emetic. The jury,;after an!absence of twenty minutes, returned with a verdict of " Wilful murder against the prisoner." The Co roner having prepared a warrant for the committal of the prisoner for trial under this charge, the jury adjourned till yesterday (Monday), when the inquest on the body of I Walter Palmer was to be proceeded with. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PORTUGAL. By the Royal mail steamer Tay, we have intelligence from Lisbon to the 7th inst. The Cortes were opened by his majesty Dom Pedro V. on the 2nd inst., and the deputies elected the same president, vice-president, and secretaries as last year. The royal speech referred to the cholera as being nearly extinct in Portugal ; it laments the continued progress of the grape diseases; shows that the grain harvest had been generally good, and promises a ministerial bill with reference to the necessaries of life whenever a general rise takes place in the price of food. His majesty acknowledges having received upon his accession to the throne cordial congratulations from the sovereigns, allies of Portugal, the Holy See, the Queen of England, the King of Saxony, the Emperor of Austria, the King of the Belgians, and the Queen of Spain having ap pointed for that purpose special envoys. The royal speech also refers to the necessity of providing for the continuation of public works, particularly for facilities of transit, and his majesty states, " The position of the public finances inspires no fears , but rather confidence in its improve ment. The government has reason to expect happy results for the national credit and the progress of public works, in consequence of the negotiations confided to one of my ministers (M. Fontes) in London and Paris, —negotiations which will be opportunely submitted to the examination of the Cortes." BRAZIL. By the steam -ship Tay, which arrived at Southampton on Friday, we have intelligence from Buenos Ayres, Dec. 2nd; Rio de Janeiro, 15th; Pernambuco, 21st; Madeira, 3rd; Lisbon, 7th. At Buenos Ayres affairs were very unsettled, and great dif ficulties were experienced from the Southern Indians. Busi ness was very quiet, and the wholesale market abundantly supplied. Exchange on England was quoted at 67. At Monte Video matters were also in an alarming condition. A revolution bad broken out, which laste d from the 24th to 29th Nov., in which 9,100 lives were sacrificed. The cause is assigned to the partisans of Generals Oribe and Floses. It was believed that no peace would ensue until Oribe had been driven out. Rio de Janeiro had become entirely free from cholera. The works at the Pedro 11. Railway were being carried on with vigour. In consequence of the scarcity of money, Exchange had reached 28d., and discounts had gone up to 11 per cent. At Pernambuco a few cases of cholera had appeared. Ex change was quoted at 271 to 28 per milre. Cotton fine 300 to 600 per arroba. The entries in sugars were large. A small supply of hides met with an immediate sale. At Bahia the cholera had disappeared, but continued at the outpost, causing a complete stagnation in trade. The demand for English manufactures had been more active, but prices were not remunerative. The markets were well stocked. The prices of sugar had advanced, the latest quotations being 245. 6d. to 275. 102 d. per cwt. Coffee, 395. ld. Freights were wanted. Exchange, 274. At St. Vincent's the want of rain was severely felt. At Lisbon. the Cortes was opened by his Majesty Don Pedro V. On the 2nd instant heavy rains continued to prevail through out Portugal.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. IL—We had a fair attendance of both town and country trade at to-day's market; a steady demand continues for most descriptions of wheat, aml the sales to consumers are to pretty good extent at an improvement of 2d per bushel on the rates of Tuesday last ; one or two parcels were taken for holding over, but the late advance checks any business of consequence for investment. Flour makes 6d advance, but the transactions are neither free nor extended. Beans have improved 6d to Is per quarter, and a fair quantity of Egyptian has been sold. Barley wilhout change. Fine Oats and Oatmeal ere in better request, and the turn in favour of the seller. Indian Corn continues exceedingly (lull, our last quotations of 42s for mixed American remains unchanged, the business being confined to the merest retail parcels. BRITISH. FOREIGN.

Wheat was in good demand, and English, the supply of which was remarkably scanty. must be quoted is to 2s per quarter higher, foreign at the same time com manding an advance of 3d to 4d per bushel. Flour was about is per sack dearer. In oats, oatmeal, and beans, little alteration in value occurred. Barley was in good request, and is per quarter higher. Peas quite unsaleable. WAKEFIELD, JAN. P 11.—Wheat was Is to 2s per quarter dearer, with a fair sale. Barley has advanced Is per quarter. Beans, oats, and shelling sold slowly at a slight reduction. WISBECH, JAN. 12.—The supply of wheat at this market. to day was moderate, and the prices of last week were exceeded by 25 per quarter. Beans rather dearer, and oats in good demand at fully id per stone more money. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JAN. 12.—At the market this morning there was a large supply of wheat from the growers, and having several cargoes in from the south and north, the major part of which bad suffered in condition, our millers in conse quence succeeded in purchasing at the rates of this day se'nnight. the sale at the same time being confined chiefly to farmers and Scotch white, in which good progress was made—Scotch white weighing 621bs commanding freely 85s. per 631bs, extra up to 87s weighing naturally 63ilbs. In foreign there was rather more passing. New red Danish making 85s, and old 86s per quarter respectively. Flour sold readily, and as the recent pressure is removed we anticipate a more lively business next week. Rye in steady request and pointing upward. Malting barley may be quoted Is per quarter dearer, but most of the brewers having bought largely of late, the advance was not willingly paid, and only established upon the very choicest qualities; still, however, it may be fairly assumed that the intermediate descriptions will eventually participate in the improvement. Malt unaltered. Beans and peas rather cheaper. Oats were fairly supplied by the growers, and the arrivals coastwise being liberal, several ship ments having arrived which are not included in the official list, any attempt at improvement was checked-31s may be considered the selling value of fine conditioned Scotch weighing 40i to 41105. CORK, JAN. 12.—Flour has many sellers the buyers take cautiously, still obtaining the advantage in prices. The receipts of foreign grain are very large; the wheats, for most part, are of ver indiffeent quality and condition, and hard to art. The Indian corn r comes on quickly, but as yet meets no co p nsumptive demand. Egyptian wheat fiats in favour, as people's food has good sale. DUBLIN, JAN 11.—There was a very poor supply of all kinds of grain at the Corn-Exchange to-day. The market generally was rather firmer than of late, and we note wheat 6d and oats 3d dearer than on Tuesday. Barley moved off slowly at about that day's currencies. Scarcely a transaction in Indian corn, and our quo tations are nominal.

The supply of sheep was larger. which caused trade to rate dull at barely previous rates, and 7d per lb. was an extreme price. Beef, 6d to 6.4 ; mutton, bid to 7d. Cattle, 2.412 ; sheep, 10,200. SALFORD, JAN. 9.—There being an average number of cattle prices maintained former rates. A good clearance made.

DUBLIN, JAN 10.—This market was largely supplied, but the qualities generally very inferior, being the remains of our stock gathered everywhere. Demand slack, so that prices of last week barely supported for the best—inferior again lower. Beef, in sink, good, 55s to 60s; middling. 50s to 558 ; inferior. 448 to 45s a 508 per cwt.

PROVISIONS. - - LIVERPOOL, JAN. 11.—There is a quiet retail trade in beef, old and new moving in about equal quantities. Buyers have been looking for a further reduction. but holders show rather more firmness in consequence of several packers having put up con siderably less than last year. No farther arrivals of new Ameri can pork. Irish is a slow sale, at last week's prices. There is a moderate inquiry for lard, and the market is again bare, 68s 6d is the current price this week. In cheese the sales for the last few days are of a more extensive oharacter than for some time past. JAN. 14.—The butter market exhibits great firmness. There was an excellent demand during the past week, and a large busi- ness transacted at very full rates. Good and middling qualities were the most in request, at prices ranging from 92s to 102 s. Frost has again returned most intensely. The stock is reduced considerably, and the holders are very firm at the quotations.

HOW TO PROLONG LIFE AND ENJOY IT GREAT PURIFYING AND STRENGTHENING MEDICINE. What though the sun in beauty shine, And you have countless hoards of wealb ; What though the world—all, all was thine, If you but want the blessing, Health. Dr. DE ROOS' PI LU LSE VITtE, or VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted solely from the Van ETABLK kingdom; they may be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the per son. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals, Indigestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listlessness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance; and while they act thus salutarily, they must of necessity increase the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensations —the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy, Paralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by a few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refreshing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are unequalled as a Family Medicine • in few instances, where occa sionally employed in Families andl Schools, will other assistance be needed. For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches, Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dimples, Sallowness, and giving a healthyjuvenilebloom to the Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them particularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken. Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store more important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquilizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad; as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-failing restorative. Mr. Smith, St. Ives : "Since taking your Pills,l have not once required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied this would be the case generally, if people were not so much governed by prejudice."—T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near Melton Mowbray: "Having read your advertisement, 1 felt assured your Pills would be of use to some of my poorer neighbours. I have had 12 boxes, and they have derived great benefit from taking them. I shall continue to recommend your valuable Pills to all my friends." — Mr. Edwin Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax: "I find your Pilulae Vim a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent wrog, Tan-y-Bwlch, North Wales: "Mr. Warner's compliments to Dr. De Roos, and be finds no medicine do him so much good as his Pilulte Vine."

JACOB TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN SARSAPARILLA.—This is one of the most extraordinary and valuable Medicines in the world. Its superiority over other preparations of like character, made in this country, arises from the mode of manufacture, and the advantage of obtaining and w orking the root in its green and fresh state. The root, when brought to this country, is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its virtues and juices having all evaporated; while it often becomes mouldy, musty, and partially decayed, so that it is quite unfit for use. ENGLISH TESTIMONY. We give a few of the many communications we have received since we have been in England, from those who have experienced the great benefits of using this celebrated medicine. They must have some weight in convincing the public of its great value. 49, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, Sept. 1. 1851. Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in testifying to the nume rous thanks I have received from various persons who have taken Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, many of whom will be happy to give you testimonials should you require them. I am doubly pleased to be able to speak to the good effects I have seen myself produced by the Sarsaparilla; for I must confess that, although I was not prejudicial, I was rather sceptical as to its virtues, which I would not have believed it possessed, had I not seen it.—l am, your obedient servant, JOHN JA MIESON.

Hearing of Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, I obtained some, and, after taking it a short time, the accumulated corrupt matter copiously discharged, and I almost immediately obtained relief. I still continued its use for a time, and not only found relief, but a cure, and am now free from pain. I most sincerely recommend it to all who are similarly affected. Wm. HYDE. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co. 8, Ashley-terrace, City-road, London, June 9, 1852. GENTLEMRN,—PIease send me again three quart bottles of Old Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla.

Able physicians and many remedies were tried in vain, but I am happy to inform y ou that she has entirely recovered by using a few bottles of Old Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla. J. R. PETERSON. Messrs. Pomeroy, Andrews, and Co. PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, E RUPTIONS, &C. The same may be said of these as in the cure of the severer chronic maladies ; the Sarsaparilla and the Ointment will effec tually wipe off all disagreeable eruptions, and render the surface clear and beautiful. Ladies troubled. with rough, pimply skin, or a gross, masculine surface, will do well to use these Medicines, if they wish clear, delicate, and transparent complexions. Nothing can exceed their efficacy in this respect. CURE OF A DISORDERED STOMACH. Lower Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, July 31, 1851.
