Sir G. Gamy suggested the postponement of any discus -81011 °Pm details till they got into committee. The Souse having gone into committee, and the firs t four clauses agreed to, the discussion upon the power given by clause five to Boards of Guardians, to form them "lves into Burial Boards to provide burial grounds for paupers, was renewed, and ultimately the clause was ne gatived - without a division. Clauses to 15 inclusive were agreed with some verbal altendments. Clause 16, after some consultation, was modified by the insertion of words limiting the powers of the Secretary of State with regard to the making of regulations to com rnercial cemeteries. Mr. Looxil KING moved a proviso, to the effect that only one body should be buried in a grave in any burial place within the metropolitan districts. The committee divided. For the amendment. Against it 33 188 Majority Mr• Messer moved to add a proviso, limiting the num ber allowed to be buried in one grave to six, and providing that one foot of earth should separate the coffins. Mr • MttrrEs proposed, as an amendment, to omit El% and insert four. The committee divided. The numbers were— Ayes ... Noes Majority The alteration was accordingly made. The Huse then resumed. Nor Goanow took the oaths and his seat fqr Banff shire. The sitting was then suspended. IMPE RIAL PARLIAMENT. (By British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph.) HOUSE OF LORDS.--TUESDAY. The House met at five o'clock. OATHS BY IRISH PEERS. Lord REDESDiLE laid on the table a bill. regulating the method of taking the oaths by Irish peers, but intimated that he would not press it unless the Irish peers wished it. THE LONDON COALWHIPPERS. Lord KINNAIRD moved that the Coalwhippers Bid be referred to a Select Committee, under the standing order respecting the bills for regulating trade. The motion was opposed by Lord STANLEY of AL. bERLEY, on the ground that the measure was a private One. After some discussion, their lordthips divided— For the motion Against it Majority and made Ireland a dependent, not upon her own exertions, but upon the Government. Bat let them lo k at the cost of this tinsel monarch. He believed that the court at Dublin cost the government of this country not less than £lOO,OOO a-year. Ireland was within 11 hours communication with London, and he wished the distinction between an Irishman and an Englishman should be abolished. He wished Cork to be like Ya.k. The argument that Ireland was too far off to be governed by the government of England was absurd, for the same argument would apply to the government of Scotland. Two acts injurious to Ireland had been passed —the Coercion Bill and the Ecclesiastical Titles' Bill— which, when they found a clergyman assuming the title of Bishop of 'ream, they had not dared to enforce. The meaning of the previous question was, that the time which he had chosen for bringing forward the motion was not propi ions. But Ireland was now in a flourishing state. There was no popular agitation ; and he contended, there fore, that the oppose ion failed in 1850, when the proposi tion was made, by Lord John Russell, to abolish the office of lord lieutenant. the noble lord met with the support, amongst others, of Mr. M. T. Baines, and Mr. P. Bouverie, Lord E. Bruce, Mr. Cowper, Lord Duncan, Sir G. Grey, Mr Hayter, 111 r. Keating, Sir G. C. Lewis, Mr. Monsell, Llrd Mulgrave, Mr. Osborne, Mr. C. Villiers, Mr. Wilson, Sir Charles Wood, and Lord Palmerston, and he called upon those members to support his motion on that occasion, and not avail themselves of the shallow pretence of the previous question. Mr. HADFIELD seconded the resolution. Mr. T. M. CCLLAGH .was at a loss, from the speech of the hon. member for Sheffield, to know up )n what grounds he based his rn , tion. His objections to the motion were twofold. He did not think that that was the way to deal with the subject, whatever might be its merits, and he did not think the proper time had been chosen for the agitation of the question. He must 519.0 tell the hon. member that he did not consi der him the proper person to bring forward the question, but that the measure upon such a subject should origicate with the government. There were 120 statutes relating exclusively to Ireland, and until the laws of the three kingdoms were identical, he held that there could be no identity of government. When he saw members willing that acts of Parliament should apply equally to each of the kingdoms, he should expect identity of leg;slation, and the acc.impltshment of the dream of the member for Sheffield. He did not wish to oppose the principle of the motion, and he therefore moved the preview question. Mr. Gitoo.iN opposed the motion on similar grounds. Mr. WHITESIDE could not deny that the Govern ment of Ireland was in an unsatisfacrory state, and he did not think that the isolated motion of the member for Sheffield would remedy the defects. Sir WM. SOMERVILLE supported Mr. Roebuck's motion, and stated his conviction fhat the anomaly of the Lord Lieutenancy could not exist much longer. With regard to ab , enteei,m, he believed that the Secretary for the Treasury could do more by improving the communication between the two countries towards the abolition than had been done by Lords Lieutenant. Mr. VANCE considered that Mr. Roebuck had failed to show any ground for the abJlition of an offile which had existed since the year 1,100. He asked if the Huuse be prepared to give compensation to Dublin for the abolition of the Vice- hoyalty, as suggested by Sir R. Peel. He urged Parliament not to take a step that which the repeal of act of Union could not produce greater exasperation amongst the people of Ireland. Mr. BAGWELL observed that Ireland was swindled out of her rights at the time of the Union, and urged the House roc to interfere , n the matter of the Lord Lieuten ancy till some change was wished for by the people of Ireland. COUNTY COURTS. Lord BROUGHAM moved for returns of the attendance of Judges of cou n ty courts , hi s o bj ect b e i ng to o b ta i n informa tion as to the truth of a statement that the duties of those f unctionaries were in a great measure transacted by deputies. The Lord CHANCELLOR would not oppose the motion . I le Stated that the returns would show good reasons for the absence of the judges when the business was left to deputies. Earl PITZWILLTASI presented a petition from Northamp tonshire, in favour of an uniform system of weights and Measures. Lord BMINERS supported the prayer of the petition. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. The Sound Dues Bill, and ilia Sites for Workhouses 13 il 1 , Were read a third time and passed. The House adjourned at a few minutes after seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY, JULY 7. The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. The Lancaster, Carlisle and Ingleton Railway Bill, and the Tweed Fisheries Bill were read a second time. TIIE BURIAL ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the Burial Acts Amendment Bill, Sir William Jolliffe objected to the Measure, because it would authorise Boards of Guardians to form themselves into Burial Boards, whereby the rate payers might be involved in great expense. Mr. MASSEY explained that no new principal was in • solved, the only object being to render easy the action of existing Burial Acts, which had, upon the whole, been favourably received by the country. S ir IL WILLOUGHBY suggested the introduction of a clause insuring the carrying out of any wish expressed b y a pauper or his friends to be buried in his own Parish. EVENING SITTING. SCOTCH FISHERIES. In answer to Mr. Laird, Mr. WILSON said the House of Lordi were anxious again to hear the case of Gammell against the Crown. Whether or not the salmon fisheries on the coast of Scotland would be lost, would, of course, depend upon the decision at which the Peers should arrive. THE SIIRVET. In answer to Lord Etcho, Mr. WILSON said the survey of towns in England and Wales had been made on the five•feet scale, and upon that scale it would proceed unless an alteration took place in the scale of the county survey. ISTHM US OF SUFZ CANAL. Replying to Mr. H. Berkeley, Lord PALMEISTON said the Government could not trze their influence with the Sultan to induce him to give per mission Cr the construction of a canal across the Isthmus of Suez, because for the last fifteen years the Government had used all their influence to prevent the scheme being e leouted. He believed that the scheme was impracticable, but the reason the Government opposed the plan was, that it would render more easy the separation of Egypt Ito d Turkey. THE RUSSIAN WAR. In reply to Mr. Adams, Lord PALMERSTON said there was no i ntent i on to corn c‘ellsete Bri t i s h merc h ants whose property was destroyed D I t he squadron of Admiral Pl umr id ge, i n 1854, at a eaborg. man- Having placed their pr o p erty at a po i nt of 'ger they had no claim for empensation for the loss. Lord GODIMICII drew attention to the present mate of the Bengal Military Fund, and asked for explanations on t he subject. Mr. V. Burnt said as the fund was unable to meet the demand, it was a question whether the subscriptions should not be discontinued. After a L ew_________words fromdropped• Mr. R. Mangles the subject THE LORD LIEUTRNAarr --- OP IRELAND—MS, ROEBUCK'S MOTION. Mr. ROEBUCK moved that, in the opinion of the House, the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland ought to be aboli s h e d. H e cons id ered that he brought forward t he question under very favourable circumstances, and in Proof contrasted the present state of Ireland with its con dition in 1824, 1844, and 1850, when the ma ter was for merly agitated. Ireland was more an integral psrt of toglant and he proposed that it should be treated upon eqnality with England, and that the Lord Lieutenant y —the last remaining body of her subjections should be be e rt a waY ; and he wished every county in Ireland should l 'a the counties of England—that every parish in Ireland should be like the parishes in England ; and that Ireland the n; a mould , ed Ireland, but, a part of t--- DZ a t ted n s i tgelom o . l3— The office of Lord Lieritenant was -"4 " sort of royalty—a fume of intrigue ; Mr. MAnutum denied that the prospect of Irel'ind was to be attributed to the court of the Lord Lieutenant. The offiee was a mockery, a mere medium of commuini cation with the government in London ; and what the people of Ireland wanted with an officer to whom they could go and make their complaints, and who should b 3 no more than a sham He would not, however, vote for the member fo: bheffild, because he entertained the same opinions upon the subject as the mover of the amend ment, and oid not b , lieve that there were no members in 'he house who wi.hed fur the continuance of the Lord Lieutenancy, but they opposed the member for Sheffield, because in abolishing the vice royalty, he was not pre pared to offer them an c quivalont. Mr. Hoit,mikst urged that it would be unwise for th e Government to adopt the resolution till they saw 'hei r way deal ly to the provision of a scheme of Governmen t for Ireland in lieu of the Lord-Lieutenantcy. Mr. PATRICK O'BRIEN denied that the Court of Dublin was a sham Court. Mr. BL kKE opposed the motion• Lord PALM RSTON thought, if the abstract motion of the member for Sneffi-1d was adopted, it should. be followed by a definite proposition; but the hon. member proposed to abolish the office of Viceroy in Ireland, and leave others to acc , mplish the difficult task of providing a substitute. In 1850, a definite scheme was proposed ; but the ties of carrying it out were such thtt it had been aban doned, and had never again been proposed from that day t:) this. The question would not be p!ac, , .d in very great difficulty by the adoption of the motion before the House, and he should therefore give his vote for the previous question. Mr. DISRAILLI did not think the charges of the office of Lord Lieutenant were, even if true, such as to call for immediate legis'a'ion. The ac n=ation that it was a sham would apply equally to the highest officer of the State, and perhaps to the Monarch he •self He warned the House against a doctrine which tended to the destruction of all autboiity. He .hought it expedient that they should carry the previous question, thereby deelaring that the subject should not at that time be discussed. Mr. CoNOLLY thocght the position of Ireland such as t o require the preseece of a first-cliss officer of the executive, and therefore would meet the motion of the member for Sheffield wi h a decided negative _ . Mr. Ropnuca then replied, declaring that it was his intenion to fix upon the executive the responsibility of providing a sub,titute for the lord-lieutenancy. The House then divided. The numbers were — For the original motion Against it 265 Majority l5l The .9.1 , E 4 lan announced the abandonment of the petitions egainst the returns for Newport, Taunton, and Portsmouth. STE ,bILRS IN COMMISSION. Sir CRARLE3 NAPIER moved for returns of steamers in reserve and in CO inmission, and complained that there were not sufficient ships In service or in a position to be fitted for service upon an emergency. Mr. BENTINCIi seconded the motion. Sir CHARLES WOOD did not think, in the present state of our political relations, that there was any neces,•ity for a larpr farce than that which was vited in Committee of Supply. He objet ed to the produetion of the documents moved fur. After some remarks from Mr. Lindsay, General Thompson, and others, the motion was negaivel. Mr. J. HANKET moved the adjournment of the House. The House then divided— For Against Majority The Rouse according:3 adjourned e twenty-five minutes to one. LONDON COURT OF BILNKRUPICY.—YzsTERDAy. REVOKE MR. COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS. In re C. J. MARc.—PROPOSED COMPOSITION.—A meet ing of creditors in this ease, convened at the instance of the bankrupt, late an extensive shipbuilder, at Blackwell, was held for the purpose of receiving a proposal from Mr. Mare with a view of superseding the bankruptcy. The proposal was to pay 2s Gd in the pound, in addition to the dividend already .nede• There was a large attendance of creditor., either personally or by their legal representatives Mr. Lawrence appeared forthe assignees, Mr. Holism s and Mr. Waller fcr creditors, and Mr. Lieklater for the bank rupt. The proportion of "consents " required by the 2301 section of the act, nine -tenths in number and value having been given. Mr. Hollams applied to his honour to confirm the proceedinge, and to appoint a second meet ing, as required by the act, when the arrangetni , nk, might be fully confirmed. Mr. Waller took objection that the 'meting was not fairly convened, A great proportion of the creditors knew nothing of it ; and it had been improperly fixed at the instance of the bankrupt, just five days after the Commissioner, who had heard the case throughout, had left town for his long vacation. Mr. Linklater contended that the requisite pro portion of consents having been given, the apeointment of another meeting was a mere ministerial act on the part of the court. His Honour declined to make any appointment on the ground that the matter might stand over without inconvenience until the return of Mr. Commissioner Holroyd. The funds would be necessarily locked up for some 410 ' as the office of the ac ; : ourttant-general in bankruptcy was now clod until October. Since the day O'Connell stood at the bar of the old House of Commons, and made the celebrated declaration of " I refuse to take that oath," there never was more anxious curiosity evinced about the House than there was to hear and see Archbishop Mac Hale. " the lion of the Fold of Judah," or the Archbishop of Team, as he is also called. He was examined on Friday, before the Mayo Election Committee, and as there were some remarkable features connected with the affair that escaped all the papers, a notice may not prove uninteresting. The moment the door of the committee room was opened, there was a terrific rush by an immense crowd of people, who were collected in the lobby for at least an hour and a half before, waiting an opportunity to hear and see the great John of Saint Jarlath's, Amongst the crowd (all of whom were evidently belonging to the superior classes of society) were several elegantly attired ladies, who,.with a degree of courage that would have done credit to the titled dames who cleared the pen fences at her Majesty's levee, ;and who have been immortalised by Punch, pushed and scruged their way despite all oppo. sition, and despite what was worse than opposition—the in evitable destruction of their costly garments. It was down: rightludicrous to see thern ; but one above the rest exhibited the greatest pluck I ever saw in the' gentle sex.' Apparently she was about 30 years of age, and might be called posi tively handsome. She was dressed in the most costly manner, and had a rich—and as I was informed (for I am not a good judge of these things)—a very valuable crape shawl over her shoulders. She had rather the appearance of a lady going to an opera than one going into a down right scrimmage, for into the latter she went, and (to use a sporting phrase) " boxed her corner" in a style that showed if she had a few thousands of the same sort to follow her, that she would have outdone all the fabled Amazons in the world. I could not ascertain if she was a fair daughter of the green sister isle, but from the contour of her face, I should say that more Saxon than Celtic blood ran swiftly (as it must have done on the occasion) through her throbbing heart that morning. I had remarked the elegance of her person and dress, as she leaned on the arm of a gentleman, in the lobby near the door, and the instant the key turned in the lock inside, the outside was in a state of ferment. The gentlemen made a rush, and so did the ladies, but amongst the latter, the foremost was the lady alluded to. She jumped from her partner's arm, and rushed between two fat (one rather elderly) gentlemen, who, from their obesity and the heat, might be said truly to be in the melting mood. In the jostle that naturally followed, some of the exquisite fringe of the aforesaid shawl happened to entangle on the buttons of both gentlemen's coats, and a huge wave of human beings coming suddenly behind, the three persons mentioned were shoved along with much force, and, at the same time, separated them from their• positions—the shawl, sticking to the buttons of each gcntlernan's coat, was pulled off the ladies shoulders, and literally torn in two between the gentlemen—the lady did not mind, as on she went sans shawl, having her fine bonnet also considerably dilapi dated, but these were secondary considerations, and resolutely she went on and gained the front place at the bar—aye, and kept it during the examination of the bishop, despite the pressure and almost suffocating heat that pre- vailed. Several ladies and gentlemen got up on the window frames and on chairs, but the merciless keeper ejected them from their perch. This may give some idea of the anxiety that prevailed. As to the bishop he is a remarkable man, and even had he been a ploughman (no disparagement to a ploughman) he would have distin guished himself in some way or other. He is a man upon whom nature has bestowed many gifts, and education refined and finished what mother nature had so largely portioned to him. He was treated with great courtesy and respect, both by the committee and counsel, who generally addressed him as " your grace," although the chairman at first informed him that he conld not recognize him as the "Archbishop of Tuam," but would recognize him as " Archbishop Mac Hale." The distinction may have a difference, but his grace was quite satisfied to be called an Archbishop, but at the same time ho strictly asserted that he was the bona fide " Archbishop of Team." He certainly mastered the committee in this respect, for he compelled them to acknowledge that he is an archbishop —no matter what the " territorial " designation might be. From the tone and manner in which he gave his evidence, all who heard him pronounced him to be a very clever man. His voice is full, clear, and rather pleasing ; there is an entire absence of the Connaught brogue—from which even the best educated people of that part of Ireland are not free—and so far as that is concerned none would sus• pect that he came from Mayo. lam told he is a great linguist, and certainly his manners display the polished gentleman of the best school. There is a natural air of ease and politeness about him, and although he neither shows it off nor conceals it, one cannot help observing it is of the right stamp. To a phrenologist his head presents a fine model, and there is a degree of penetration and sagacity about the eye that cannot be mistaken. He is not tall but well built, and einbonpoint, altogether the sear and yellow leaf of time, by a microscopic observer only, may be traced here and there. He has been, and clearly is at this moment, a razor-like observer of human motives, and this was collectable from the replies and explanations that he gave to the committee and counsel on all sides. I I have never beheld a witness (and I have seen a good many) who comes up to the standard of the advice given by Polonius to his son, except Archbishop Mac Hale. That advice was, " measure your words before you give them breath," and yet his replies were given with a promptness that, to the casual listener, indicated no such observance. In this he manifested extreme quickness—the soaring of an eagle mind above the questioner's point—saw all its bearing in an instantaneous glance—answered promptly, but in such manner as to defy the ingenuity of any man to take him by surprise or entrap him into the shadow of contradiction. Before a question was finished (to him) he saw all its points and the consequences involved in the reply, and here his superiority never allowed him to swerve from the real point-his calm, deliberate, and it might be said philosophical replies, promptly given were, when analysed, truly marvellous, taking into account that he was ignorant of the question up to the time it was propounded, and therefore not prepared before the instant to answer. Altogether his evidence was a masterpiece of diplomacy, and whatever the result of the Mayo election may be, Mr. Moore will not lose it in consequence of the evidence of Archbishop Machete. His evidence, in fact, was more like a " tenant right " speech, and the political duty of the clergy, than an explanation of the interference of the Mayo priests at the late election, and in this regard he completely " bothered " the committee, and his evidence will be long remembered as a masterpiece of genius in its way. When he retired he was greeted by all present, bat he got out of public gaze as soon as possible. LAKE ONTARIO AND HUDSON RIVER RAILWAY.—A prospectus has just been issued under the above title which gives in detail the main features of a new railway undertaking of great magnitude and promise. The line of the Lake Ontario and Hudson River Railway, as laid out, embraces a most important district of tountrv, and will unite the Eastern end of Lake Ontario with the Hudson River at the head of the side-water at Albany and Troy, thus uniting in a direct line the great chain of lakes with the Atlantic Ocean at New York. The length will be about 200 miles, and contracts have been entered into for its construction for £6,000 per mile. The gross amount of the cost will be atyai; £1,200,000, which will include £lOO,OOO for rolling stock, and by October next it is expected that thirty miles of the line will bl completed. The State of New York has granted the company about 500,000 acres of land lying adjacent to the line of route, and it possesses a further right of obtaining, at a small price, a quantity of mineral and of about 250,000 acres, pos3essing magnetic iron ore of a rich quality, and said to contain eighty per cent. of superior iron. The company, moreover, has been exempted from direct taxation until 1879, The traffic of the line, when completed, is estimated at £700,000, at a cost of about forty-five per cent. of working expenses. The company have issued 50,000 shares, upon which £2 have been paid, and the directors have powers to raise an alditional capital by the issue of debenture bonds of $l,OOO each, equivalent' to £2OB Os. Bd. sterling, to bear intereq at the rate of seven per cent. These bonds will amount in the gross to £BOO,OOO, £200,000 of which have been already taken up by the American shareholders. An estimate has been made of the value of the timber and other products of the land in the possession of the com pany, n gether with the fee-simple of the land itself, and the whole hcs been valued at £6,500,000. Among the directors at New York are merchants of high standing and reputation, and the enterprise is one that recommends itself powerfully to the attention of English capitalists. "If P. and M. go, will you not, sweet love, come to your own Mini? Do y,tt think I would ask you if I saw clan, er in th house? No, love, I would not. I will let you in, and no one can sea you. I wilt make it late—twelve o'clock, if you please, g am so longiug to see you, my own beloved. Sweet, dear Emile, I sea your sweet smile, I hear you say you will come to see your Mini—clasp her ;o you, bosom, and call her y •dir own pet —your wife. Emile will not refuse me ; I know you will not. .. I need nit w:sh you a merry Christmas, but I shall wish ,ire may spend the next to- gether, and then be happy." This closed the case for the prosecution. Thu following evidence fur the defence was then proceeded with : Robert Baker : I am a grocer at St. Helier's, Jersey. I lived in Edinburgh at one time, and acted as waiter in the Rainbow Tavern, and when there I was acqua ntei with Emile L'Angelier. That was in 1851. He lived at the Rainbow, between six and nine months, till he went to Dundee. We slept together. L'Angelier was then in very bad eircumstaaces. He was out of a situation and waiting till he could get one. He was a quiet sort of a parson. He was very easily excited. He was at times subject to very low spirits. I have oaten seen him crying at night-time. He spoke of suicide a while before he went to Dundee. He said on more ttran one occasion that he was tired of exist ence, and that he wished he was out of the world, I re member on one occasion he got out of bed and walked to the window. I awoke and asked him what he was doing there. He sale if I had not disturbed him he would have thrown himself out. The windows of the Rai Lib etv were six stories high, very nearly the height of the North Bridge. He was in the habit of getting out of bed at night and w tikteg about the room weeping, and in a very excited state. We were in the habit of taking walks together in the morning before business began. Several times we waked teget. er to Leith Pier.' lie talked to me about suicide when we were on the pier. He said one morning he had a great mind to throw himself over t for he was quite tired of his existence. I have seen him reading newspaper accounts of cases of suicide. 1 have heard him say on such an occasion, " Alt, there is a person who has hal the cot:tinge to do what 1 should have done; I wish 1 had the courage to do the same" Wm. Pringle Laird: lam a nurs ryman in Dundee. I took him into our employment in D indee in 1852. lie came to me on the 25th January. He remained with me till the end of August or the Ist of September. I thought he was a very sober young man, and very kited and obliging. He was very changeable and excitable in his disposition. He was sometimes very melancholy, and other times very lively. When he came to me is January, 1852, he was very dull; he was not very well and had a kind of cold. He did not tell me exactly at first, but shortly after he came to me he told me about a cross of love. I know 01 illiam Pringle. He is my cousin, and was my apprentice at the time I refer to. I think it was he who told ins about something M. L'Angelier had done. I spoke to L'Angelier in consequence. I toll him I was sorry to see him so melancholy, and tires still more sorry to hear that he had taken up a knife with which to stab himself. He said very litt:e ; but was very dull. I did all I could to isootha him. He said he was truly miserable, and wished he was out of the world, destroy himself, or something to that effect. He was in a very melancholy state after this. He was gloomy and moody, and never spoke to any one. aVitli tm Fri tgle : I was in the service of Mr. Laird, in Daudee, in 1852. I knew L'Ange tier, who was there at that time. I lead frequent conversations with L'Augelier. I remember of seeing a marriage in the tiewspaeer. 1 did not see L'Angelier re id it; nor did I tea him, so far as I recollect, what I had seen in the newspaper. I told him I had heard of the marriage in He: nursery. He seeme i to be very much agitated when I told him about it, and he ran two or three times behind the counter ;at least onee or twice. He then took Med cf a counter knife. lie did not point it to his throat, but held it extended in his hand. I stepped forward to him in consequence, and he then put it clOwn. I don't remember what lee said. I don't think he was crying; at least I did not observe it. He was very changeable in bin temper and s e irits, and was particu larly melaucholy for some time atter this occurrence. Andrew Wat son Srui,h lam an upholsterer in Dundee. I was acquainted with L'Angelier when he was in Laird's employment in 1852. I had very good opportunities of observing his disposition and state if mind. 1 thought him a vary excitable sort of character, often in sigh and oaten very low. Ile mentioned to me of a disappointment in love he had at that time. He mentioned the lady's name. He told me that he had been engaged to her for a number of years—that beloved her very much—and that it had been broken off, and that on these occasions he felt inclined to destroy himself. He showed ma a ring he had got from the lady; there was a name on it, and I think it was the lady's but lam not sure. Generally, when he spoke about destroying himself, it wise in a very melancholy strain. He once said he once went to the Dean Bridge at Edinburgh to throw himself over, but I am not quite sure. Did he say what hindered him from doing it? No. Was self destruction a very frequent subject of conversation with him? Yes.—Did you think him serious when he spoke of tiestroyaig himself ? I thought him serious in his own mind; but still I hal, no serious apprehension he would do it. William Anderson examined: I was a nursery and seedsinan in 1852. I was acquainted with F:miie L'Angelier while he was with Mr. Laird. When women were spoken of, he boasted of his succors' with ladies, and s oko a great deal about them.— Do you remember what ho said about them? I remember one occasion particularly. It was in my own house. One night I had him to supper, and the conversation turned upon ladies. Ha told me he was very intimate with two ladies In Dandea at the time; that he telt au attachment towards them, and that it seemed to him it was returned He said they were very beautiful girls, and worth a considerable sum . of money. The Lord Justice-Clerk—Did he mean he was successful in seducing ladies, or what? No; that ha loved them, and that they loved him in return. By sir. Young--Was he irritable in his disposi tion? Occasionally he was. How did lie show it? He would sit on some occasions quite dull when females ware spoken of. and then he world suddenly get up in an excited state. William Ogilvie, examined by Mr. Yo ing—l am assistaut.teller in the Dundee Bank, In 1852 I was secretary of the Floral and Horticultural Society in Dundee, and many of the meetings of that society were held in Laird's back shop. In this way, I became cry intimate with L'Angelier. He was very v,iriahe in his spirits ; remarkably so. What were his favourite sub jects of conversation? Well, it was generally about ladles. Was he vain of his success with them? Front his conversation he was. The Lord Justice-Clerk : Vain of what ? He talked of ladies always look ing at him in passing along the street. He seemed to have considerable success in getting acquainted with them. He spoke to m 3 on one occasion about being in France, and travelling there. He sail that, in travelling, the horses ware very much knocked up in c _lnsaquance of the long journ ye, and that be had given the horses arsenic. I asked him what effect the arsenic had? He said it made them long winded, and by thin means that' ware enabled to finis'i the jour ney. In reply, I asked if he was not afraid of poisoning the harses. Oh, no, he said, so far from doing that he bad taken it himself. I told him I should not like to follow his example. Did yon ever see hap eat anything Ghat yea understood to be deegerons I have seen him on more than one occasion eat peppy seeds in large quan tifies, in handfuls, in fact, white in the shop.—Did yon make any re mark at the time? He had been selling aqn intity of poppy seeds from a drawer, and after the ca-tomer had left the shop, he took out a handful and eat it. I expressed my serprise, and said I understood it was poisonous. He said, "So for from that, it was much better than filberts or nuts." Davi A Hill : I am a market gardener in Dundee. I was in Mr. Lairl's employment when L'Angeler was there in 1852. In a conversation shout arsenic, he said he used it regularly. Edward B. Mackay was then called. The witness said : lam a merchint in Dublin. I was in the habit of visiting Edin burgh on business, and I generally lived , n the Rainbow Hotel while there. I got acquainted with a person named L'Ange'ier there. The opinion I formed of his character and disposition was anything but a good one. I considered him to be a mean, lying fellow. He was very boastful.—What kind of boasting 1 Of his personal a Tear ante, and of people admiring him, ladies perticalsrly. —Did he boast of anything else? Yes; his high acquaintances• and those he had associated with since he become more or less a man. He boasted of being acquainted with very hith families when on the continent, and mentioeed several titled people; but not believing what he was saying at the time, I did not st re up any of their titles. Ode of the subjects about which he often toasted WAS ladies admiring him. He spoke about it very much. On one occasion he came in where I was sitting in the Rainbow, reading the papers, and he told me that he h id just met a lady In Prince, -street, who was passing with another lady, and who turned round and re marked what pretty feet he had. Alexander Miller corroborated the other witnesses' statement as to deceased's variable temper. I never recollect of him speaking abont committing suicide. Do you not recollect about his saying something about being in his grave? No; on one occasion he said he wished he was dead. He sai ihe did not consider there was any harm in a person taking his own life to get out of the world, when tired of it, and when having lost all happiness in it. I think this was hls expression. Did yen object to what he said? Ye;; and said our life was not oir own, and that we had no right to do with it what W 3 chose. He did not acknowledge, after I hat said this. that he had abandoned his opinion. What was the character L'Angelier bore in your office; I don't mean in being up lifted or cast down? We had the impression that he was a young man of very regular habits, generally speaking, and we considered him to be a worthy young man. Agnes examined by bir- Yonng--I wasin Mr Smith, the archit:ct's, service as table-maid. Miss Smith o one occasion said something to me about arsenic. I cans it remember what brought on the conversation, but I perfectly remem ber her saying she believed 'arsenic was used for the complexion, or that it was good for the complexion—either the one or the other- James Girdssod : I am a surgeon in Falkirk, and have been in prat tice there abont 14 years. I have been asked by persons frequently as to the use of arsenic for the complexion since the article in Cham bers. ' Many of ray friends consulted ma on that point. I told them that it was hig ly injar one, and that they were not to attempt it. Peter Guthrie : lam the manager of Fr,.ser and Green's apothecary establishmery, Sauchieball-street. We sell arsenic occasionaly. I remember, in the beginning of 1856, a lady coming into the shop, and who produced a number of Blackwood's Magazine, containing an article on the us of arsenic for improving the complexion, and asked me if I had seen it. I said I hod. and she then asked me to supply her with arsenic. I declined do ng so. She still express , d a strong desire to hive it, but still declined glen it her. I did not give it her. She was very anions to have it. Robert Baird: I was ac quainted with the late L'Ange ier. It is not less than two years since I became a Auainted wi,h him, but I am unable to fin a date. I remember his asking me to introduce him to Mime Smith. He was v,ry praising about it. I did at length introince him to her. Miss Smith was no alone when I introduced L'Augelier to her. Her sister was with her. Solicitor General : D d L'Angelier ever ask yon to go and call at Rowalyen? No; but he asked me to go to Row, and I under stood it was to see Miss Smith. He might have spoken about calling to see her family, bar I don't recollect. Ha ex?res;ed his desire frequently to be introduced to her father. I have bean at her father's house. Charles A lams :I am a physician at Coatbridge, I keep a druggist's shop there. I was in my shop on Sunday afternoon, the'22d March last, and I remember a gentleman coming in wanting someth ng. He asked at first for twenty five drops of lau lanum, which I gave him. After I gave him that, he wanted a bottle of sode water. I had none, but gave him a soda powder. [Shown portrait of L'Angelier.] That has a resemblance to the person, but I could not say it is the same. It is like the person. My shop was dark at the time, my shutters bring up; but I aupposed he had on a dark, sandy brown coloured coat. He had on a bonnet. (Shows coat and bonnet.) They were like that. J s. Dickson : I keep a druggist's shop at Bailieston. Baili. ston is on t road between Coatbridge and Glasgow. I remember of a Sunday evening about he end of March of a gentleman coming into my shop- It was about h If-past six when he came in. lie appearel to be un well. He was holding his hands over his stomach and bowels, and complainingeof pain. He wanted laudanum. I gave him from 20 to 25 drops. He said he had come from Coatbridge, and was going to Glssgow. He had on his head what we call a Glengarry or Ba'moral bonnet. My shop is on the high road leading through Bailisston. A person would have to coma 200 yards from the main road to my shop Dr. Adams was recalled, and, in answer to the Lord Justice-Clerk, said—The person who came into my shop and got the laudanum did nst complain of anything. He swallowed the laudanum. I did not adc him what he wanted it for. Miss Kirk examined—l am a sister of Dr. Kirk, druggist, Gsllowgate, G asgow. His shop is on the other aide of the street, and to the west of Abercrombie-place. I remember a gentleman coming in one Saturday night, and buying some medi cine. I don't remember the exact date. I think it was a powder. I cannot say what ponder it was. I served him. Describe the gentle man—l can't well describe him, lie was about thirty years of age, He was not tall, but rather little. He was neither very thin nor fat- He was fresh complexioned and rather fair. He wore a moustache. He had on a Glengarry bonnet, but as for the rest of his dress I could not tell. (Shown photograph of L'Angelier.) It is as like him a anything I have ever seen. Witnesses deposed to the wide cireu_ lation of an orticle in Chambers's Journal, Blackwood's Magazine, &c., in which the use of arsenic as a cosmetic is spoken of. The fol lowing letters were then read by the Dean of Faculty:— Dated ptember 18, 1855. "Belov d Emile,—l have just received your note. I shall me-t you. I do not care though I brine rtisgrace on myself You are young,yet you, wh ought to desire life, wasting to end It. Dear Fantle, for the sake of your own !ovine Minnie, you should desire to live. Every one will meet with disappointment, you know." A letter dated Ott. 19, 1865. In tills letter the prisoner ta , ges the &Lee 'sect not to be vexed at her parents' dislike to her engagement with him. If the knew :inning about him, she sae s they would have as o' j-etion. She adds, that batons long she will acknowledge him as her husband. In a letter dated Tuesday, reference is made to a conversation she had had with the deceased, and tells him chi does not believe she ever heard any young laly at school, all the time she was there, speak of the thing he mentioned. She did not think they were so bad. Dr. Paterson : lam a phys'cian •sa Leith. I have had occasion to see several cares of suicide by poisoning. The individuals, who were patients, were in ceffieent positions in life, mostly young women, and c )nnected with the mills and colour works in the neighbourhood. I hive reason to know that, in many of these cases, they obtained the a-senic about the works; in others it was purchased. I was called in to at tend the patients professionally. I prescribed for them while they were suffering from the effects of the poison. They all died, with one exception. Of course I used ali the remedies I could think of. There were seven cares altogether. In six of these, where death ensue!, the patients submitted to medical treatment without any attempt to prevent it. None of them admitted that then had taken poison. I asked them aIl what they had been eating or drinking, and what had bean the cause of their illness. I asked them also whether they had taken arsenic or any poison, but they all denied h aving done so. They submitted to medical treatment just like any other patient . In the case of the seventh, which was a recovery, the person rid not at first admit that she had taken poison, but she ad nitted it after she had a'most recovered from the secondary effects. He was then aware she was recovering. In the previous stages of her illness she was morose and &alien, and would not seeak. arsenic was used to a very large extent in these mills, particularly at that time. These cases occurred several years ago. The people about these works had, at that time, great facilities for taking away arsenic. By the Lord Advocate: These cases occurred withiti a series of eighteen ems. The symptoms in each were near'y aim lar. They were the symp toms usually cheracteri die of poison. The patients were suddenly seized with sic% nese and vomiting. The vomiting matter was generally coloured, according to what had been previously taken. La same instances the vomiting ceased before death. They were all suicidal cases. There could not be the least doubt of that. Did eny of the, patients ask for a medical man to see them ? I cannot say ; I do not know that they did. Have you any means of ascertaining the interval which had elapsed between the thus of their taking arsenic and the illness coming on ? I have no precise means of ascertaining that. The time from the seizure to death did not exceed 16 hours. In one case the patient died within 12 hours. By the Court: In casts or suicide so deliberately persisted in, of course the first symptom, cou'd net be precisely ascortaine 1. There is less chance of the people at there works getting arsenic now. '1 here is less arsenic used in the works. John Fleming :lam a storekeeper in Todd & Higginbothem's Glasgow, I have b: en there for the last II years. It is my duty to t ake charge of the white chemical substances u-ed in the premises. Arsenic is one of those substances, which is used in large quantities. We generally get from three to four cwt. of it at a time from Char:es Tennant & Co. in its pure white state. It is used by us for the pur pose of mixing with other substances in making tallow. We get the arsenic in barrels, and the barrel is put iota the store among other things. I would not miss three or four ounces if it were taken away; more I would miss. Robert 'lowesend-1 am the manager of the woks of Townsend and Company, chemical manu facturers, Glasgow. My brother, whose works they are, deals largely in arseair. It is locked up during the night, but not during the day, It stands in cask e like meal in a meal shop. One cask is kept open for use. We employ from lee to 140. I have no doubt that, if they planned carefully, they veld take • arsenic away. Janet Smith—l am a sister of Madeleine Smith. I am 13 years old. I was living in my father's house, in the last week in Spring, in Blythswood-senare. I slept in the same room and bed with Madeleine. I generally went to bed before her. On Sundays we both went at the same time. In general it was the same thing every Sunday. I remember Sunday, the 22nd Ma ch. I and my sister went to bed at the same time that night. I am qui e sure Of that. It would be slam half-past ten o'clock, or a lines after it. We went dawn stairs together from the dining room. I don't ree olect whO was in bad first.

SMITH, FOR MURDER HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH. MONDAY.-SLXTH DAY. The excitement relative to this extraordinary trial continues on the increase. To-'ay the court doors were crowded as usual long ' before the hour of entrance, and the court was filled the instant the doors opened. Yesterday (Sunda?), large crowds might be seen wending their way to Calton Hill. One subject of attraction there were the three Russian guns recently presented by the War Office to the city, and which have been placed near the base of the Nelson Monument ; but the great majority of people were chasfly attracted by the fact that the Calton Hill overlooks the prison in which the unfortunate young lady now leeine tried for her life is confined. The staple of conversation was the trial, and many were the speculations as to her guilt or innocence. Champions there were many for the deceased, who bitterly upbraided the prisoner for her dupLcity, while not a few broke a laace in the cause of the la ly, and stigma tis d L'Angelier as a coward for holding such letters as those written by the prisoner to him suspended over her head. It was a mean, a vile way of compelling her to marry beneath her s'ation, to threaten to reveal letters written to him in trusting confidence, and after he had pursttaded her into the notion that she was his wife in the sight of heaven. These were the opinions of the crowd. Knowing ones pointed cut to curious eyes the window of her prison cell, and every thing having the most remote relation to the prisoner was anxiously listened to and looked at. Miss Sm th seemed in better spirits to day than on Saturday. She had resumed the cool, collected look she wore during the two first days of the trial, and seeieed considerably amused when one of the witnesses described L'engelier as having given horses arsenic to make them loag in the wind. The court having met, the Lord Justice-Clerk pronounced his 0 inion that the entries in the memorandum book were inadmissible as evidence. Ile said that the admission of hearsay evidence was an estaelished rule ; but these entries were of an essentially different character. What was now proposed to be admitted was this—certain memoranda or jOttings made by the decoseod, iu cvnioh cort,via things are said to have been obtained, and certain circumstance.; to have happened which went directly to the vital part of .he charge. In the case of hearsay evidence, one could ascertain from witnesses all the circum stances and apparent motives which celled be collected 01 the state ment being made by the deceased ; but in this case there was he important difference, that they could not ascertain with any certainty the motives of the deceased in writing these statements ; atid. besides, there was no proof as to whether these were records of past acts or of acts entered immedi ttely upon their occurrence. The pro posal to admit these entries as evidence was a thing a to,ether without example, and he was unable to receive them as such. Lord Handyside concurred, Had the writer of such entries been a-ice, they would not have been received as evidence, tecugh he might have been allowed to use thetu as a witnese in order to refresh his memory; and it was the oath of the witness as to the verity of his whole statement which the law required, and which covered the admission of the entries. Lord Ivory could not concur in the °piteous expressed by his two bretheren, and as he was most unwilling to say anything which might in the least di glee detract from the influence of the judgment which his dissent could not alter, he contented himself with merely expressing his opinian. He thought that these entries might have been admitted as evidence for the jury to consider, and as to the valise of which it would have been far the jury to sake up their minds. The pocket-book was accordingly rejected as evidence. Tee Lord Advocate said there way a letter which had been omitted to be read oa satertlay, which he was desirous should hi read now. The Clerk then read No. 79; postmark Glasgow—date not legible. It was as follows : 0 , t 857. went to bed that I went to sleep. I don't recollect pays at at present of a necklace to my sister lately.

Dr. James Laurie, of Glasgow, was next examined, tat sr dad that he had made experiments with Currie's arsenic by %rattier iris hands and face with it, and the only perceptible effect Peet aced was a softness of the skin. He also stated that he wet nett cons der the use of it in this mann r as dangerens, ant not hesitate to recommend its use for vermin on tee its. Dr. M•Ligan, of Fdinbitrgh WAS also examined, and stated: tine amount of arsenic dissolved in water was so small, that he di stud think it would harm any body; and also, that the preseneeee se an matter, such as chocolate and coca°, wouldihave the effect of ixara, ' " ' • • • its poisonous effects.
