The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : THE PAPAL LOAN IN AUSTRIA. The Nazione, of Florence, publishes a despatch in which the Papal ~ Nuncio at Vienna makes known to Cardinal Ant i onelli that, notwithstand ing his efforts, only a small sum has been sub 'scribed for. FRA NCE. The Times' Paris correspondent's letter, dated Sunday evening, says The understanding be tween Austria and Prussia, come to at Tceplitz, and of the reality of which nobody now seems to entertain a doubt, has produced a feeling of uneasiness here." • The correspondent of the Constautionnel for Milan, writes:—"Last week I saw 7,000 volun teers enrol themselves. The Government cannot prevent the departure of expeditions; but as a pretext for doing so, 20,000 francs were demanded of each volunteer. Thcise who had as much, gave it without the least agitation, and if the sum required was not complete, they entreated even Witli tears to be taken at a lower rate. Half the 'population accompanied them to the gates of the city with cries and vivats." CONDITION OF TRADE. The Daily News, reviewing the condition of trade during the past week, says the accounts from the hardware districts are rather gloomy. The woollen interest is relatively in a better pcsition than the cotton-spinners and manufac turers; and, therefore, the work-people are, in nearly, all instances, fairly employed, The Not tingham muslin lace lock-out still continues. In some branches of trade, owing to the weather, stocks remain on hand unsold; payments cannot be met with punctuality, and the difficulty of getting in money reacts upon the wholesale dealers ; the prevailing uncertainty checks enter prise. Some branches of our home-trade are beginning to complain. The necessity of import ing unusually large quantities of Corn, though calculated ultimately to stimulate our exchanges with foreign countries, and to be,aefit the ship ping interest, will be atter,i' e a with an immediate draught upon in the mo ' o ur r r .isources leading to disturbance that i l e or market. There is a prospect, too, a deficient harvest may give some, though * probably not a severe change to the consumption of those other articles of foreign production which contribute largely to the revenue. The launch of the Gibraltar, 101 guns, took 'place at Devonport on Saturday. The accounts received at Oporto from the Douro district are very unsatisfactory, the disease having appeared with great virulence. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENL SOUSE OF LORDS -YESTERDAY. The Royal Assent was given, by commission, to various bills. The LORD CHANOEDLOR gave notice that on Friday he should tall attention to the legal measure's introduced during the ses- Won, and the progress tliat had been 'Made. The Landlord and Tenant • (Ireandrßill passed throngh (committee. • On the notice of the Duke of Argyle, the Savings' Bank and T'tiendly Societies Bill wa , considered as urgent, and the Standing order suspended accordingly. After some remarks from Lord Monteagle, the bill was read a second time. On the motion for the second reading of the Fortiflcatioas BM, The Earl of ELLtNit()ltOrGlf. expressed his strong approval of the bill. He had for years urged the importance of placing our coasts, hitherto almost undefended, in a state to repel the attacks of any enemy. Expressing his distrust of the views of the French Government, he alluded to the general feeling of the country, which had mustered but 10,(00 volunteers before the annexation of Nice and Savoy, and shortly afterwards Mustered 70,000. After some remarks, in reply, from Earl de , Grey and Ripon, I.he bill was read a second time. • Mahe Castoms (No. 2) Bill, the Stamp Duties (No. 2) Bill, and the Peace PreServation (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill were Also respectively read.a second time. the Refreshment Houses and Wine Licenses (Ireland) Bill, the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, and the Industrial Schools (1857) Act Amendment Bill were read a third time and passed. The Defence of the Realm Bill was read a second time. Their lordships then adjourned at half-past eight. 110IISE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. The Speaker took the chair at half-past.three. In reply to Mr. H ennessy, The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER said that the Govern luent would conilider whether in some cases money payments Light not be given in lieu of superannuation allowances, to Certain officers of customs, who, in consequencp of recent 'changes, had been compelled to retire from th e serv i ce. _ _ The Report of the Committee of Supply r, as brought up. On the qttestion that it be received, Mr. MELLOR gave notice that early next session he should call attention to the resolution of the Rouse of Lords to limit ing the time in which bills could be sent up from that House. Sir DE LACY EVANS made some explanations on behalf of Lord Clyde of the opinions he had given on the subject of the amalgamation of the Indian with the Royal army. Mr. LINDSAY called attention to the immense and increasing expenditure of the country. Should a period of adversity arrive, great discontent would be the consequence, which 'would be fraught with the gravest dangers. The Goverament had now got all the money, but he urged them to save all they could for a future year. He recurred to his old subject of the comparison of the French and English navies, declaring that the present superiority of the latter was quite sufficient to remove all came of alarm, and protested against further need less expenditure on this head.. Mr. HADrIELD urged the House and the country to banish the distrust felt towards the French people and ruler, pretest ing against the expense which this distrust involved. . In reply to Mr. Vance, Mr. M. GIBSON said that a bill on the subject of trade marks Was prepared, and he trusted to introduce it next session. He hoped also to be able to pass the companies bill next session. Mr. Morrsara, called attention.to the statement of Lord Palmerston on the affairs of Syria, which, if. 'unexplained. would tend to encourage the Druses, who already counted on the support of England. He proved from published docu-' ments the commencement of the disturbancei by the Druses, and the complications, by the Turks, who had shewn them selves more cruel than the Druses themselves. He was con vinced that the Turks had long before prepared the way for these horrors. He protested againstiany suspicions that the influence of the country would be used to perpetuate a system under which such atrocities could be permitted . Lord PALMERSTON regretted that the House should be in volved in this unhappy quarrel, or that the dismemberment of the. Turkish Empire should :be preached there. To what pOwer would the hon. member wish to transfer Syria? The dismemberment of the Turkish EmOire would bring out a European war, and inoreise in a formidable degree the forces of that power to which those important possessions were transferred. He repeated that the evil was due. not to the interference but to the impotence of the Turks, and though the Turkish authorities had behaved infamously, the Turkish Government had done all it could to Punish these atrocious crimes. He entered into some details to support his assertions that the Maronites had been the first aggressors. M. Thou venel had admitted as much to Lord Cowley. Lord C. PAOCT corrected a statement of Mr. Lindsay, as to the comparison of the Prench and British navies, in . Jefence of the steps takembrzhe Admiralty to put the navy on a proper footing. On a vote for the National Gallery, Mr. Cunningham divided the House. The vote was carried by 60 to 21. Mr. Scums repeated his protest against the vote for the' model school at Cork. Mr. CitanwELL repeated the explanations he made on Saturday. • • Mr. BUTT said the school was opposed by one of the most enlightened and liberal of the Roman Catholic Bishops—Dr. Delany, the Bishop of Cork. The establishment of the school would excite serious ill-will between_Catholics and Protestants. Mr. HZRESSY likewise protested again.t the vote. Mr. DrAsy said that the school had been established in accordance with a requisition, to *Which no opposition had been offered till lately. He did not believe that the sehodl would interfere with existing schools, and was required by the p ro _ testants of Cork. After some discussion and a division, the vote was carried by 58 to 13. The report was then adopted. The Appropriation Bill was immediately brought in and read a first time. The East India Loan Bill was read a third time and passed, after some discussion. The Spirit Duties Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Militia Pay Bill was read a second time. The House having gone into committee on the Party Em blems (Ireland) Bill, considerable discussion took place on the iirsfelause, on which Mr- CARBWELL brought in a remodelled form, as revised and amended. - The clause ran thus :—Every person who shall, wilfully do any of the acts hereinafter mentioned, in such a manner as shall be calculated or intended to provoke animosity between different classes of her Majesty's subjects, and lead to a brdach of the public peace, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour; that is to say, the publicly exhibiting or displaying upon any building or place, or the wilfully publishing, suffering to be publicly exhibited or displayed upon any building or place any banner, flag, or party emblems or symbol, or the publicly meeting and parading with other persons, or the playing of any music, or discharging cannon or any other firearm in the Public streets, road, or, place; Ultimately the clause was agreed to, on a division, by 71 to 21; majority, 50. The bill afterwards passed through com mittee. ' Iri the' course of the discussion the Attorney-General for Ireland assented to an amendment limiting the operation of the till to a period of five years. , The Local Government Act,. 1858, Amendment No. 2 Bill Passed through committee. The Law and Equity Bill and the Titles to Law (Scotland) Act, 1858, Amendment No. 2 Bill were read a third time and Passed. . . On the motion for the second reading of the Divorce Court "till, which had come from the Lords, Mr. HENNESSY called attention to a question of privilege. The measure contained a clause authorising certain payments for counsel, witnesses, &c., out of funds which were partly Provided from the Consolidated Fund. The bill partook of a money bill, and ought to have originated in the Commons. The Speaker ruled that the point was open to serious doubt, which it was for the House to decide. After some consideration, the discussion was adjourned. Other bills were advanced a stage, and the House adjourned at twenty minutes past one o'clock. LIVERPOOL DISPENSARIES.—New cases received advice and medicine at the institution : No . rth, 308 ; South, 194 ; total, 442. New cases visited at their own houses and supplied with medicine : North, 78 ; South, 6 0 ; total, 138. Rev. Rector Campbell, A.M., Pre sident ; Captain Bourne, Vice-President of North Dispensary; Mr. R. A. Payne, Vice-President of South Dispensary ; Mr. Francis Mill, Treasurer ; Mr. F. H. Lan gley) Secrets 4 THEATRE ROYAL. THE ZOUAVES. These theatrical relics of the Crimean war made their first appearance before a LiVerpool audience last night. Their reception was most cordial, and due as much to their dramatic talents as to the pectiliat• interest attach ing to them as the original Zouaves. They perform the ladies in their plays, and sing an d act with a grace and precision which extort admiration. They will, no doubt, become great favourites in this town ; 'and, as their stay is necessarily limited, a visit to the Royal should not be delayed. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. MR. D. FISHER. AND MR. H. 'WATKINS. 3fr, 11. Watkins. the American comedian, who has lately been introduced to a Liverpool audience, increases nightly in public favour. He appeared last night (for the fourth time in this town) as Jock°, (a deformed negro slave,) in the drama entitled "The Pioneers of America.," and was honoured with an enthusiastic call before the curtain. Mr. David Fisher played William in '" Black-eyed Susan,"--a part well celculated to dis play to advantage the talents of so popular an actor. Miss Goodall, as usual, sang charmingly, and was, we may also add, as usual honoured with a hearty encore. To-night the proceeds of the performance are to be devoted to an &lied, to which we doubt not the Liver pool pttblib need no invitation to give their hearty sup port. but were the object other than it.is—were there no family of. a Robert Brough requiring assistance—we think the names of the eminent and popular literary gentlemen who are to conduct the entertainment would of themselves be, a sufficient gnarantee for a crowded house. MR. GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN AND THE PHRENOLOGISTS, Last evening Messrs. FoWier and Well's., plafenolo gists, publishers, authors, ,and lebttlieh, trade their first bow to a LiVerpool audience . ' in the Concert Hall. There *vat A idrge and respectable attendance of both seiet. The lecture of Mr. Fowler was at once instruc tive, entertaining, and illustrated with a very large number of figure heads, principally portraits of dead and living American geniuses and knaves, with a sprinkling of illustration; from the philanthropic arid misanthropic celebrities of the British Isles and continental nations. The hearers were kept in one continued fit of laughter and admiration. The names of Well-known characters —Howard, for instance—were received ' with the greatest applause, whilst the witty remarks of the lecturer did away with, any and everything horrid in the circumstances of Criminals incarcerated and executed. At the dose of the lecture, three gen tlemen, selected indiscriminately by a provisional com mittee of Liverpool gentlemen from the audience, mounted the platform in order to have their heads examined, and their organic developthents made publicly known. The first gentleman's name is not known. The second was John Chapple, a por ter, employed at the Lime-street Railway Station. The third was Mr. George Francis Train. The examiner mysteriously handled his head, stroked his hair in a very questionable manner, and after a - few minutes' deliberation proceeded to pronounce Mr. Train a man who cared for public opinion very probably, but much more for his own : and to whom the dictates of his own reason and his own philosophic deduc tions were of greater value than the teachings and philosophic deductions of anybody else. He - was Com bative. He had probably seriously entertained the idea of entering the army ; whether or not, in . a good war he - would be in for a fight. Ha carried out all his undertakings in a vigorous manner, and was always successful. He was proud—very proud. Of course he would bow to you if you bowed to him, but your obsequity, indifference, or froWn, was of no, material importance to his happiness. Mr. FoWler enumerated a long list of good traits, to which, from want of space, we cannot do' justice. • Mr. Train returned thanks in a proper manner; assuring the audience that his inward thoughts and secret powers had been marvellously and correctly indicated, and 'finished by paying an eulogy to phrenology and phrenologists. The lectures will be continued during the week. LAUNCH AT WOODSIDE. Yesterday morning, a splendid ship was launched from the yard of Messrs. Clover and Royle, of Wood side. Contrary to general expectation, the morning turned out tolerably fine. The captains of the vessels in the graving docks, the workmen at the yard, and the managers of the Woodside Pier, raised fl igs in honour of the event; and from a comparatively early hour a large number of persons assembled to witness the inte resting ceremony. The number of visitors hourly increased until about two o'clock, when the multitude who crowded every available spot could not have num bered less than ten thousand persons. The Woodside; Pier was literally crowded ; hundreds were admitted into the yard, and a select party to a convenient platform, . erected immediately under the bow of the vessel. The preliminary arrangements occupied a considerable time. The orders " Clear away from under the vessel," and "Ready," were pronounced about two o'clock. Simultaneously with these words, Master Clover, the builder's son, hurled a bottle of wine at the bow of the ship, christening her the Thetis, and she glided majestically into the Mersey, midst the deafening cheers of the crowd. The Thetis has been on the stocks for 18 months. The length of her keel is 165 feet, her breadth of beam 32 feet 9 inches, depth in hold 21 feet 6 inches. The builder's measurement is 815 tons ; new measurement 780 tons; and she has been classed A 1 for 13 years at Lloyd's. The model is entirely new. Her 'bowSprit is of iron, and it is intended to make her a full-rigged ship. She has been fitted with all modern improve ments, and is expected to sail very fast and carry a large cargo. The workmanship in every department is of the very first order, and we believe no expense has been spared to make her one of the finest vessels of her size ever launched from the stocks of any yard at Birken head or Liverpool. As she has been been built on what is vulgarly called "spec," months may pass away before she is made ready . for sea. After, the ceremony, a few select individuals were invited to luncheon, in a large room over the joiners' shop. The usual loyal toasts were proposed, and the success of the Thetis was drank amid-vociferous cheering. A SWORD AND BELT POUND. —Yesterday morning a sword and belt were found between Tranmere Hotel and Tranmere Tanyard. It is supposed that these tro phies of honour and bravery were lost by one of our volunteer defenders whilst in a state of "high exhi liration." THE HAT OF A SELF-MURDERER FOUND.—It appears that the hat found on Friday last by a man of the name of Webster, on the river wall, belonged to and contained the address of George Woods, beerhouse keeper, Wood-street, Liverpool—the man who is sup posed to have committed suicide in the river, whilst labouring under temporary insanity, on Thursday. BIRKENHEAD POLICE COVRT.—(Before Mr. Bryans and Mr. Darbyshire).—Timothy McGrath was charged with stealing a purse containing lie. 10d., from the person of Robert Bruce. Both are inhabitants of Bir kenhead. It appears that the offence was committed on Saturday night', whilst the prosecutor lay asleep in Mar ket-street, in a state of intoxication. The purse and 4s. 10d. was found on the prisoner. The case was remanded until Thursday. THE BROUGH. FUND. — The literary and artistic gentle men who have undertaken to collect a fund for the widow and family of the late Robert ,13. Brough, are'proceeding vigorously with their task.. The donation account opened at Messrs. Coutts and Co.'s is growing slowly but favourably, and though it only amounts, at present, to about a hundred pounds, it shows many of the best names in literature and journalism. The performances at Drury Lane Theatre, on the 25th last month, yielded a net profit of £ll9. The literary and artistio amateur performers play at the Royal Amphitheatre to•night, and at the Theatre Royal, Manchester, to-morrow, the 22nd, in aid of the fund. Mr. Charles Dickens and Mr. Benjamin Webster have consented to become joint trustees of the fund, when it reaches an amount requir ing care in its application; and, in the meantime, it stands in the names of the honorary treasurers; Messrs. Talfourd and Hollingshead. _ THE WA.TEE, COMMITTEE.—At th e wee kl y meet ing of this committee yesterday, Mr. Hodson presided ; and the other members present were Messrs. C. Tur ner, Rae, Beloe, Estill, and Woodruff.—A letter dated Knowsley, was received from Captain Hornby, asking for the water carts to attend Knowsley Park on the occasion of the Volunteer review, on the Ist of next month.—Mr. Duncan, the engineer, explained that the carts belonged to the Health Committee, but the Water Committee had fitted them up, and sent them out to the review at Aintree. They were wanted simply for drinking purposes.—The request was complied with, the Engineer receiving the necessary instructions.—. The returns showed that the quantity of water received from Rivington during the week ending the 19th instant was 71,760,012 gallons; the quantity of water pumped from the wells, 30,831,924 gallons, or a total of 102,691,936 gallons. Th e proport i on of R i v i ngton t o well water was as 71 to 20.—Mr. Duncan, the water engineer, reported that in consequence of the continuous rain, the filters would not perform their functions for more than half the usual time, and part would' requite to be cleaned in the course of the present week.

(Before Mr. .BAncix MitaitN.s THE TRIAL OF THOMAS WINSLOW, FOR THE MURDER OF MRS. JAMES, BY THE' ADMI NISTRATION OF ANTIMONY. THE EXTERIOR OF ST. GEORGE'S HALL. Although the trial was fixed for ten o'clock, and the learned Baron did not arrive until that hour, long before eight o'clock the approaches to the court were beget by a large number of persons, principally froni the vicinity of 4 Vatrxhall-road, where the alleged crime was comniit- ted, who expressed the greatest anxiety to obtain admis sion. On several occasions the police had much diffi culty in keeping the crowd back, indeed, throughout the day, the anxiety manifested by those who could not obtain admission was most intense ; and it was not until a strong avenue was formed by the erection of some large timbers that those who had actual business to transact could obtain ingress and egress. THE INTERIOR of the Court was also densely crowded throUghout the day, by a very large nuniber of poisons of respecta bility, who manifested a great amount of anxiety in watching the case; indeed, we do not recollect a trial in Liverpool that has created such a great amount of sensation or so much interest. Precisely at ten o'clock Baron Martin took his seat upon the',bench, and immediately after the accused, Thomas Winslow, was placed in the docks lie Walked with a firm step, and repeatedly during the day appeared much eicited, took notes of the answers given by the witnesses, and had frequent interviews with his legal adviser, Mr. Cobb, upon their statements. Silence having been proclaimed, The prisoner, Thomas WinsloW, was arraigned for the murder of Mrs. Janies, by the adniiiiistiatidn of repeated doses of antimony. The prisoner, in a firm voice, pleaded a l‘itot The following were the names of THE JURY. • Albert Fielding James Lord John Brown Robt. Lawton G. M. Franks I Joseph Popwell w. Green Adam Pentony Thos. Jolly Edward Scales John Lees Nathaniel Yates. Counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Bliss, Q.C., Attorney General for the County Palatine ; Mr. J. B. Aspinall, deputy-recorder for the borough ; with whom was Mr. T. Temple, instructed by Mr. Walters, the prosecuting solicitor. Mr, Digby Seymour, Q.C., Mr. Littler, and Mr. Joseph Fenwick, instructed by Mr. Cobb, appeared for the prisoner, -Mr. J. J. Pope, surgeon, acting as medical assessor. • In opening the case Mr. Bliss said that the prisoner was charged with the crime of wilful murder by means of antimony, which, it was alleged, he had administered in small and repeated doses. The deceased, Ann James, died on the 24th of June last, in the Liverpool Southern Hospital. She had been attended by Dr. Cameron at intervals from the preceding January. From the 6th or 7th of June until her death her excretions were pre served, and, with one or two exceptions, were found, on analysis, to contain antimony, as did also the viscera and intestines, when examined after death. She died, however, of cancer of the cmeum, a natural disease, which had perforated the bowel, and caused her imme diate death ; and the prisoner was accused of aggra• vating that disease by the administration of small doses of antimony, and so accelerating her death. She had been attacked before with repeated vomitiugs and purl, - ,sings, the former coming on suddenly after taking food, and particularly sago, and then ceasing suddenly, and though she recovered she manifested after such attacks extreme nervous prostration and muscular debility, which, with other symptoms, induced the medical men to believe that such administration of antimony had hastened her death. If the jury were of opinion that the prisoner was the person who adminis tered this antimonye'and that he did it wilfully with the intention of taking life or doing grievous bodily harm, it was their duty to find_him guilty of murder. Having described the early history of the deceased and her family, the learned counsel came to the time when the prisoner became acquainted with her. This was in 1854, when the deceased was keeping the eating-house in Vauxhall-road,. and when her sister (the late Mrs. Town send), Mrs. Townsend's husband, and their three sons, Martin, Samuel, and William, and the daughter Jane, all lived in the house. The prisoner was first a customer, then a lodger, and afterwards left his business (in a foundry) and came altogether to live with Airs. James and to assist her in the business. He very soon acquired great ascendancy over her and became in effect master of the house. In 1854 Jane Townsend married Henry Cafferata, went a, o a nehr' residing i n M anc h es t er , an d i n 18him in that t own , th oug h s h e was occasionally afterwards at Mrs. James's on a visit. Mar tinlive kith Townsend was a baker, and was occasionally absent (having enlisted in the army), and William and Samuel were musicians. Henry Townsend, the father, did little, and was in delicate health, and the whole family were almost dependent upon Mrs. James. At the prisoner's suggestion the house was made a night as well as 1 day house, for refreshments and lodgings; it had fourteen beds, and the prisoner slept wherever there was a vacant bed. Mrs. James occupied the back parlour over the cellar, the cellar being used for refreshments and cooking. The prisoner cooked what was wanted in the night and slept by day. He had aceess to the deceased's room at all times, for the purpose of getting change and giving her money, when the door was locked the key being placed on the floor under the door, so that the prisoner could get it from the outside. Mrs. James had tolerable health until Christmas last year. She was fifty-six when she died. She had thriven in business,—her stock and furniture being worth £2OO or £3OO ; she had shares in the Liverpool Gas Company, worth £204 ; and £l3O in the Savings' Bank, and at the time of her death, she had about £3O in cash in the house. Such was the state of matters, when in September, last year, Elizabeth Town send (sister of the deceased) fell sick and died ; in the following December, William Townsen d fell sick and died; and in January last, Samuel Townsend sickened and died. Mrs. Cafferata was sent for, and came over when her mother was ill, and she nursed her. She also attended Samuel, and after his death returned to Manchester. At the beginning of February Mrs. Cafferata received a letter from the prisoner, saying that her aunt was extremely ill, and that if she wished to see her alive she must come over immediately. She came, and found her aunt suffering from extreme vomiting and purging. About this time the attendance of Dr. Cameron commenced (at the pri soner's suggestion), and he immediately discovered that the deceased was labouring under a cancer of the cceeum. Under Dr. Cameron's care the deceased got better ; he ceased his attendance, and Mrs. Cafferata went to Man chester again. On the 29th March Dr. Cameron was sent for again, deceased being attacked with the same symptoms. He attended, prescribed, and she was better. On the 26th April Martin Townsend left the family, and during the night the prisoner was assisted by a person named Henry Bagnell. On the 3rd of May Mrs. Cafferata again came over to see her aunt, and never left her until the deceased was removed to the hospital. 4 Dr. Cameron was again summoned, and on the 19th he left Mr. James much better. He was called in again on the 19th, found her suffering from excess of vomiting and purging, and froth that time he never lost sight of her till her death. During May, and about this time Dr. Cameron's suspicions as to the administration of poison were excited; and, in connection with this the teamed counsel wished the jury to recollect that on the 29th March Jane Cafferata was absent in Manchester with her husband ; that on the 26th April Martin left, and did not return till the 31st May, so that the prisoner (with the exception of the servants) was the only person who prepared food for the deceased during these intervals. He wished them also to remember two other facts,---that on .the 26th May there was found in the drawer in deceased's room, a paper purporting to be a notice for the withdrawal of her savings' bank deposit and interest. It was signed "Ann James." On the 28th May the prisoner went to the office of the Gas Company, and enquired whether Mrs. James' shares could not be put into his name. The prisoner was told that it could not be done except by her making a regular transfer by her will. The same day the prisoner went to a Mr. Lloyd, solicitor, and arranged for the making of the will, though he was not present when the deceased gave her instructions. The deceased, by that will, left the prisoner all her stock-in-trade, goodwill, &c., the residue of her property being left in thirds, one to Mrs. Cafferata, one to her child, and one to Martin, and the prisoner being made sole executor. Thus the prisoner was empowered to get possession of everything : he could sell the shares, draw the money from the bank, and the rest of the family might have• remained utterly unacquainted with deceased's having any property at all. On the 6th June Dr. Cameron's suspicions induced him to have the excretions preserved ; these were analysed by Dr. Edwards, and found to contain antimony. Dr. Cameron then communicated with the police, and on Sunday morning, the 10th of June he went with two police officers to the house and insisted on Mrs. James' removal. Now, it was most important for the jury to remember that on Saturday night, the 9th of June, Mrs. Cafferata made her aunt a little sago. The deceased par took of it ; and Mrs. Cafferata 'afterwards removed the cup down stairs; the deceased went to sleep ; and at two or three o'clock next morning brought her a cup of tea and an egg, which, however, her aunt did not take, and which Mrs. Caffe rata placed on a chair by the bedside. She then slept by her aunt's side until between ten and eleven o'clock next morning, just before the arrival of Dr. Cameron. She then found that the cup of tea had been removed, and filet on the table, near her aunt's bed, was a cup contain ing sag o. The prisoner, about five o'clock that morn ing, had made Mrs. James some sago, had brought it to her, and she partook of it; - and the rest was left in the cup upon the table. This cup, was taken by the • police, and on its contents being analysed antimony was found. After the deceased's removal to the hospital the excretions found in her bedroom were analysed, and. found to contain antimony in a free state--that is, recently taken into the stomach, During the fourteen days, ending the 24th June, that the deceased remained ;. I 1 HE DAILY TIMES ; TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1860, in the hospital, her excretions were carefully preserved, and on arialySis they all, with some exceptions, gave deposits or traces of antimony. Still the medical men Were of opinion that no antimony Was adMinistered at the hospital ; the antlithitiy tOth-id In the hospital dis charges being eliminated, and not free. Learned counsel then desCribed the conduct of the prisoner after Mrs. Jetties' death; his communications with the police ; his endeavours to throw suspicion upon the Cafferatas ; and his statement., when arrested, to the effect that on the morning of the 10th he did prepare come sago fdi Mrs. James, of which she partook, but that there Was tid antirtiOnY hi it, though he (Winslow) knew the use of antimony, and had given it to cattle some eighteen years ago. An examination and analysis of the viscera led the medical men to the conclusion that during life antimony had been administered in small and repeated doses; and that this had hastened the death of Mrs. James by the aggravation of the cancer of the mourn, under which she was labouring. With regard to the prisoner's having sought to obtain or had antiniony in his possession, evidence would be called to show that iii the nichitit of tidy, 1858, he had offered a servant at Mrs. James' sto procure him settle antiniony from Dublin, whither she was going, but that she refused; that four or five Months before Mrs: Junes' death a person described as the prisoner called at a Mr. Miller's druggist's shop fdr antiniony, but did not get it; that a person !tattled Ann Foley had been sent by the prisoner td purchase antimony "to kill a dog." A witness named Maguire would be brought before the jury. It was true that he had not been before the magistrates; but he.would state that the prisoner had sent him to a druggist's chop to get something to poison a dog with, and he did get some white powder, but could not recollect the name of it. The prosecution had succeeded in finding this person, bat he could not recollect the nanie of the Pdvidei btit he Went td the shop and pointed mit the jar from which the powder was given him, and that jar contained antimony: The boy who sold it did not recollect the circum- stance ; but they would hear what he had to say. Maguire (who was in the employment of the pri soner) would also state that be had seen the prisoner preparing bread and butter for Mrs. James, and that while doing so Winslow took from his pocket a paper, out of which he took something between his thumb and finger and sprinkled it over the bread and butter. When asked by Maguire what this was Winslow said it was " fine salt,' though there was plenty of salt in the house which he might have used, if it was requisite. In conclusion, the learned counsel said that the fact of the discovery of the sago containing antimany, in the cup, on the mora ine. of the 10th, coupled with the filets to which Maguire would depose, were sufficient to warrant the indictment. Ito then proceeded to call Witnesses. Mrs. Jane Cafferata, examined by Mr. Aspinall, said— I am the wife of Henry Cafferatit, an ornamental japan ner, living in Manchester. The deceased was my aunt; she was a widow. She was 56 years of age at the time of her death. At that time she kept an eating-house at 18, Vauxhall-road. She had lived there since'lB42. Previously to that she lived in Plymouth. I came to Liverpool seven months after that, and joined the de ceased. The Whole of the family came t 6 Liverpool, and consisted of her Mother, Elisabeth Townsend, her father, Henry, with her brothers, Martin, Samuel, and William. The deceased opened a grocer's shop, and Martin assisted in conducting it. This shop did not answer, and they removed, in 1853, to Vauxhall-road, where the deceased set up an eating-house. It was only at first an eating-house, but latterly it was a day and night-house, and also a lodging-house. The deceased was the mistress of the. house. I and Martin assisted the deceased. My mother made confectionary on her own account, and my brothers were musicians, and my father sold on commission. In 1854 the prisoner first came to live in the house of the deceased. He was then employed in a foundry. After that he left the the foundry, and came to assist the deceased id the eating-house. A change was thee made in the con= ducting of the business—it was made a day and night house, and then a licensed lodging-house, and there were 15 beds. There was a considerable quantity of of business done in the house. The deceased and the prisoner managed 'the business. They always appeared on very good terms. I was married from the deceased's house, but have frequently visited the house. Previous to February last the deceased was subject to bilious attacks, but they did not affect her bowels., Before that Dr. Whittle attended the deceased: I was in Manchester last February, and received a letter, which I afterwards destroyed. It was from the prisoner, and was to the following effect—" If you wish to see your dear aunt alive come immediately." I Came to Liverpool on that night. I found the deceased in bed in the usual room she occupied. The deceased was in a great state of prostration, and she said to me " I never expected :to see you again." I stopped with her a fort night, and slept with het every night. Daring that time she was sometimes very poorly, and at others she rallied, and at the end of the fortnight she was able to walk about, and got better. At the first she was suffer ing from vomiting and purging, but not very violent. I can't say if they were simultaneous. My husband was not there. The prisoner and myself attended upon the deceased. Eliza and Margaret Higgins wine the servants, and remained so until her death. The deceased only took tea, sago, and broth latterly. In the middle of the day either myself or the servant girls prepared the food. Generally at night the deceased had food, but I cannot say who prepared it for her. When the deceased wanted anything she used to knock with a stick. My brother Martin was living in the house at that time, but my mother and brothers" Samuel and William were dead. My father was then, and is now, ill in bed in the house. I returned to Manchester at the end of the fortnight. I got a letter soon after, but did not go, but later on in the same month I received another letter, containing a post-office order from the prisoner, requesting me to come over to see my aunt, but did not come until several days after, when she found the deceased sitting in the shop, but appeared to be suffering very much, and complained of sickness and pain of her side. At that time Martin was in Devon shire. I remained with her until the time of her death. It was on the 31st of May that I came. There was a person named Maguire who at that time was in the habit of coming to the house. Bagnall was also there. I always slept with the deceased, and often prepared her food for her. Neither Maguire nor Bagnall ever prepared food for the deceased. The prisoner then always prepared the food used during the night. The prisoner gained admission with a key kept under the door, and was in the habit of giving the deceased sago and bread and butter. If recollect a medical gentleman, Dr. Cameron being sent for. This was on the Tuesday a f ter the Thursday on which I had come from Manchester. The deceased got better, and Dr. Cameron ceased coming. After he bad ceased coming, the deceased became much worse, and the vomiting and purging more violent, and Dr. Cameron. was again sent for. The deceased again rallied after he had prescribed for her. The prescrip tions he gave were always got, and his instructions were carefully carried out. The symptoms, however, continued the same, vomiting and purging. On the 6th of June I received instructions from him to preserve her vomitings and excrements and keep them separate, which I did, and gavethem.to the doctor on the 9th of June. That night I made her some sago, which she partook of. It was prepared in a china teacup, and that cup was taken away by me. I took the sago from the parcel iwthe shop. The deceased seemed much revived, and I went to bed to her; but before doing so, I took up a cup of tea and an egg. Before going to bed, I left the tea and the egg on the chair by the side of the bed, where I had left the empty sago cup. I locked the bedroom door, and placed the key in the usual place. I slept sound that night, and when I awoke the next morning about eleven o'clock I saw that the cups had been removed from the chair and placed on the table. The deceased might have got up without assistance. Only the prisoner was in the habit of giving food during the night. One of the cups on the table was of the same pattern as the one I had given her the sago in, but it was not the same cup. I n one of the cups on the table was some sago. The cups remained on the table until Dr. Cameron and the two detectives came in. The cups were then in the same state as I found them, and had not le eea done anything with to alter them. I was not aware at that time that they were policemen. Soon after they came I assisted, by Dr. Cameron's instructions, to get the deceased dressed, and we took her to the 'Southern Hospital. The cups I have mentioned were given into the custody of Horn, the detective. I left my aunt in the hospital, but continued to reside in the Vauxhall. road house, where I have lived up to this time. A few days before the death of the deceased, on the Wednesday before her death the prisoner ordered me and my h us b an d t o l eave the hou , ey observing a t th e same time that "we were second Palmers, and that my husband carried white powders in his pocket." .my husband suffers from indigestion, and took carbonate of soda, and he showed it to the prisoner upon his making such an accusa ti on , upon which the prisoner replied that it was scarcely likely that he' should be shown the right sort. A similar scene took place on the following day, when the prisoner forbade me from going to see the deceased ; but I did go. The prisoner at that time was very heavy in drink. I recollect that the prisoner told the deceased to make her will, and about a week after that he said the deceased had told him to go fo r a person to make h er will, and soon after Mr. W. T. Lloyd came to make the will, and was with the deceased alone. I was not aware until after her death that the deceased had any property except the stock in her shop. Cross-examined by Mr. D. Seymour—My brother Martin, who was assistant to the deceased, had enlisted several times, and she had bought him off. Martin was with the deceased in March and April to the beginning of May. Martin, from going into the army, was not on such good terms with the deceased, and she might have spoken to him about it. I never saw Martin attend to the cooking ; I have never seen him mix the sago. Once, I recollect, that he stirred some to keep it from burning. That was in the presence of Eliza and Margaret Higgins, but I cannot fix the date. Whenever things were wanted, the girls were sent for them. MY hwiband has taken laudaniuu, ae well as Carbonate of smid. i cIo iot lecoffeet, but It might have been said, that laudantim wad proVe tte thedicine. I recollect now that it was said, biit cinnot ftl (h date. My husband, Cafferata, was a lodger in the house of the deceased. I assisted in the shop after my brother Martin left. My husband was payirig his addresses to me when the pt!scinei Came to' lodge Id the house. The prisoner once showed a !diet' to' the deceased for the purpose of getting us to leave the house, which we soon after did, and went to live at Manchester. When I came over to see the deceased I cannot tell whether she used, to vomit soon after taking food. It was generally late in the day, after two o'clock. The pri soner used to give her food of a night, not of a (lay time. The prisoner was always very attentive and kind to her. Tie was in sorrow whenever she appeared worse. He was always feady to go for a doctor, and anxious to have one for her. The prisoner I believe suggested that Dr. Cameron should be sent for, as he should be more satisfied, as Dr. Whittle had had two slips. There 'was never any eagerness on his part to remove things from view, which he could have done if he liked. On the 9th I made some tea in the kitchen mit of a large teapot. I also made some sago, and the deceased eat it all to about a spoonful. On that night I washed all the cups up. They were always washed up by me. I da not recollect anything else that I took down that day except the cup, and that I recollect well. There Might hafe been another cup arid another. plate, tut I will riot swear it. My atten tion has never been so particularly directed to this cup. I particularly recollect that evening, but cannot recollect any other so minutely. I have not heard the deceased say that she had property, and could go and live in the country, but the business had been offered to me and I refused to take it, because I did not like the neighbourhood. I can't say that I know that the business belonged to the prisoner, or that the prisoner *as to receive 23s per week as wages. I don't recollect Anything about £35. About the 26th of May I believe the deceased sent the prisoner far some amount of money. I did not hear anything tillout a notice having to be given. I never saw the money. The prisoner took moneys as well as myself, and they were taked to the deceased. I will not swear whether it was " You are two Palmers," or " You are, a second Palmer," that the prisoner made use of to me and my husband. He spoke in a loud voice, rather too loud, as people were about. Martin Townsend went once to the hospital to seethe deceased, but Cafferata never went. The prisoner went frequently. We all knew that it was suspected that there was poison, but we thought it was a mistake. I have spoken of this Maguire. Ido not recollect that I saw him in the Police Court. but I know he used, to go there every day. I never saw the girl Brennan. I have had a child. Its name is mentioned in the deceased's will, but t will not tell wbo the father was. I may have been from honie after that child was born, but I refnse to say more about it. Re-examined by Mr. Bliss—My husband and myself have lived together since we were married. I frequently went to the hospital to see the deceased. This witness was in the witness-box for upwards of three hours. Martin Richard Townsend was then called. He said =The last witness is my sister. The deceased was my aunt. t male td Liverpool in 1842 to my aunt. I lived with her off and on from that time until she .died. :n February last I was living with her. I recollect the last witness coming to see the deceased. I stopped until the 26th of April, when I enlisted in the Scots Greys. The deceased was very ill when I left, and on the 31st of May I returned to the house and have remained there ever since. The last witness was at the house. The deceased was attended by Dr.' Cameron. did not assist in the business the last time. On the Oth of Sane I saw the deceased for the first time on that day; it was about 12 o'clock. That was the day she was taken to the hospital. I saw her again that evening. There Was a dog in the Vauxhall-road house at that time belonging to me, and I hung him because he was in stich e±crUciatittg pain. The dog was labouring under a distemper. The dog was buried in the yard, and I have since exhumed it and gave it to Dr. Edwards. I never mixed any sago for the deceased; not even so much as a drink of water. Cross-examined—l have stirred some, but I do not recollect the date. I am especially certain I never did cook anything, although one of the witnesses said I had cooked fish. I recollect, some years since, I cooked a sole. Whatever I cooked, I cooked in the kitchen. I never, I will swear, doCflred any fish for the deceased. I never fried a fish between February and June, and that I will swear. I and the deceased were good friends, but certainly some words took place about my enlist ment into the army three times. The deceased paid the "smart." I enlisted again, because I could not stop with her, and yet we were very good friends. I don't know what Spanish flies are for, if for procuring abortion or not. I know Maguire, because he came to lodge at the house, and was in the habit of seeing him at the house. All in the house knew that the dog was buried. I know that Maguire is going to give evidence on this trial, but Ido not know when he agreed to do it. I have called in at •Miller's shop, but it was a casual visit. I can't tell when Maguire said he was going to give evidence ; but I have been to Miller's shop within the last few days. I will swear that all that was said was " How do you do ;" but I might have said more. I did not say anything, or that I had any expectations from the deceased, nor did I know that she had made A. will. It was only on Tuesday or Wednesday in last week that Maguire gave his evidence. Maguire has been living in the same house with me, and I only just left him ; and yet, I would swear that I do not know what he is going to swear. I will swear that I have not men tioned anything about this case, but I have heard him say that he had been for white powder for the dog. I expect the jury will believe me. I did not know the deceased was worth any money. I did not know I was to be the heir. On one occasion I said I had " waited long for this opportunity, and I am glad it has came." I was waiting for the opportunity to make the servants perform their duty; they were generally negligent and dirty. Dr. John Cameron, the honorary physician of the Northern Hospital, and lecturer . upon medical jurispru- dence, was next called; and he stated as follows :—On the 6th of February last, the prisoner called at my house in Rodney-street, about three-quarters of a mile _ _ from the house of the deceased. He told me that Mrs. James wished to see me. I found her in bed suffering from•bowel complaint, and on examining her I found a tumour which I believed to be cancer. She was very much prostrated, and was very low spirited. She had then suffered from vomiting, and the attacks had been severe. She stated that she had suffered from a dis- turbed state of the bowels for some time. I prescribed for her, and a few days after I received a message that she was better. On the 29th of Marcb I was again sent for, and: I found her nearly in the same state. She was then suffering from purging and vomiting. I prescribed for her ; and was again, as I had desired if she became worse, sent for on the Bth of May. She was suffering from a similar attack, but was much worse. On the 19th or 20th of May I saw her again, and I considered her convalescent. On the 25th I saw her again in the same state as before. In consequence of the symptoms, I, on the visit or the 25th, thought that she was suffering from some irritant poison. She however improved, and on the 6th of June she was again very much prostrated, and in consequence I instructed Mrs. Cafferata to preserve some of the excrements, which she did, ,and I took them away to Dr. Edwards. On the following day I had the result of that analysis, as I also had on some taken away on the 9th, and believing she was suffering from the effects of poison, I consulted with the police, and on the morning of the 10th we—Sehoe, Horn, and myself —went to the house and took away some cups. I had told the deceased that I believed she was suffering from poison and she must go to the hospital, as it was necessary for her safety. When she went to the hospital I gave instruc tions that all the excrements should be taken care of, and they were preserved. After she got there in a few days she got much better, and continued so until the 22nd, when she was seized with severe pains and died on the 24th. _ THE POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION. Dr. Cameron then went on to explain the appearance of the body on the post-mortem examination, which was to the following effect :—The mucous membrane, or the lining of the coat of the stomach, was tinged with a deep yellow colour. The stomach was considerably distended, and at the smaller end were two ulcers —one about the eighth of an inch, and the other three-eighths of an inch in didineter. Assuming that antimony bad • been given in small doses, it might have caused the ulcers. There was no other mark that antimony had been administered. The intestines were remirkahly empty. There was nothing else to show that antimony had been administered, from the appearance of the stomach; but assuming that antimony had been found in the lungs, the stomach, the liver, the intestines, the spleen, the blood, and the fluid in the stomach, and the abdomen, accompanied by the symptoms I had observed, the medical opinion that I should have formed is, that if antimony had been administered to her it would hhve accelerated death: Question—Can you form an opinion as to what doses of antimony were administered ? Answer—Probably small and repeated doses. Question—And the vomitings in February, April, and May —what did they arise from ? Answer—From the same causes. Question—lf antimony was found in her body after she was at the hospital, in a free state, can you form an opinion when it was administered ? Answer—l should say very recently; on the 9th or 10th. The ulcers in the stomach might have produced vomiting, but not such vomitings as I saw the deceased suffering from. I have no doubt but that the adminis tration of antimony accelerated the death of deceased. Cross-examined by Mr. Seymour--I am ready to admit that the ulcers in the stomach were as likely to cause death as poison from antimony. Vomiting is one of the principal symptoms, and produces depression and debility. This whim Underwent a very long crosi.eza,mina- tion, purely of a technical character, but it did not alter the opinion that the doctor had formed, namely, that the symptoms were those of slow poison. and not that of canter in the stomach, although there was a parallel between the IWO tfttplonis. There are symptoms and conditions of the hdrnari fire in which antimony might be taken, without any inittricrus edects'. Re-examined by Mr. Bliss—lf 1 foetid statintony in the body, and I did not find an enlarged liver or a soften ing of the brain, would not form a Conclusion that the antiniony had not accelerated death. The continued vomit from which the deceased suffered showed symptoms of the presence of poison, more than that of ulceration of the bowels. The antimony would cause *orriting and prevent the body receiving fresh nourishment, and thus, of course', accelerate death. THE PRISONER'S STATEMENTS TO THE POLICE, Detective officer Horn stated,—On the 10th of June I went with Dr. Cameron into the deceased's house. There was a table in the 4ecTroom, on which was a small cup, containing a small quantity cif sago. Also a small cup, which I took into my possession. There were also eight bottles. I took them all to the police office, sealed them up, and saw the storekeeper lock them up. They were the same as I had taken away, and on the 13th of June I delivered them to Dr. Edwards. On the same day I saw the prisoner at the police station, and told him to come on the following day, which he did, and then he said he had been informed that Dr. Cameron had found poison in the sago. I told him it was true ; and then he said he suspected Mrs. and Mr. Cafferata, of Manchester, as they often came over to see Mrs. James. lie said that Mrs. James was worth some money, as she had some shares in the Gas Company, some money in the Savings' Bank, and that she had left a will, but how she had left it he did not know. The next day he called again, the 16th, and he then made a statement in answer to questions, and was read over to him. The prisoner seemed anxious to assist me in the investigation. The following statement was then read, as that made by the prisoner on his going to the police office : " I am in the employ of Mrs. James. I formerly worked in a foundry, bat left it to go to her hmise, and about twelve months since I entered into at agreement with her. I was to receive 235. per Week, but the agreement was nat carried out by either of tis. I have done all I could for her, and have received all I required. I had the entire control of the business and the money. No books were kept. She never complained of me. Mar garet Higgins and Elizabeth Higgins were the servants in the house. There was a nephew came to her. Elizabeth Townsend died in 1859, and her symptoms were the same as Mrs. James. William Townsend died fourteen days after, but I do not know what he died of. Samuel Townsend lived in the same house, and he died shortly after. Dr. Whittle certified he died of conges tion of the brain--delirium tremens. She had got some shares in the gas works.. In June I wrote for Mrs. Cafferata to come from Manchester. When I was absent she managed the business. During the night I prepared her food. At five o'clock in the morning I made some sago, which I gave her, and she eat some of it. I left the cup in the room and left, and did not see her again until sbe was removed from the house to the hospital. I told Margaret to take her some tea, which I believe she did. I went to Mr. Lloyd's about her making the will, but I do not know how she left the money." Inspector Horn then continued his examina- tion, and said—On the Monday the prisoner called again at the station, and said, " Mrs. James is getting better." On the Tuesday be again saw me, and told me that Cafferata had come from Manchester; and again on the Thursday, but on the last occasion the prisoner seemed to be in drink. He told me he had seen the Cafferatas, and had advised them to go back to Man chester. On the 23rd of June I apprehended the prisoner on my own responsibility, as I was anxious to have him before a magistrate before she died, as she was getting worse. I told him the charge, and in reply he said, " I made the sago that morning, and took it up to her at five o'clock, but I put no antimony in it. I know the use of antimony. I have given it to cattle, but I have not used any for the last eighteen years. " Upon searching the house I found £55 in gold, a gold watch, &e.., &e. On Sunday, the deceased died. I searched the house to see if I could find any antimony. I looked everywhere for it. I did not find any. Other parties had been living in the house at the time. I got some sago from the shop, which I gave to Dr. Edwards ; and also some prescrip tions from Dr. Cameron. I subsequently took some jars to London, which I delivered to Dr. Edwards in the same state as I had received them. Dr. Cameron was then called, and identified the pre scriptions foand in the house He said : I never pre scribed any antimony for the deceased. At this stage of the proceedings the court was adjourned until nine o'clock this (Tuesday) morning, the jury having been sworn in the usual manner not to hold converse with any persons during the trial, but were assured that every attention should be paid to give them accommodation under the circumstances. The prisoner, after a brief conversation with his leading counsel (Seymour) Jell the dock with a smile upon his countenance. The court then adjourned. NISI PRIIIS COURT.—YEsrEnnAY. (Before Mr. Baron Winn.) WHITTAKER AND ANOTHER V. SIMPSON AND ANOTHER.—In this case Mr. Edward James, Q.C., and Mr. Mellish appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Manesty, Q.C., and Mr. Quain for the defendants. The action was brought to recover the value of a quantity of machinery and other property which it was alleged belonged to the plaintiffs, and which had been sold by the defendants. The plaintiffs are the trustees of Mr. James Whittaker, under a deed of settlement, executed in the ;year 1838 ; and amongst the property in settle ment was a mortgage of a certain engine and boiler manufactory, buildings, and machinery, situate in English-street, Kingston-upon-Hull. The defendants are the assignees, under a deed of assignment to Mr. Wakefield, who formerly carried on business in Hull. In the year 1838 Mr. James Pym, who was then in possession of the manufactory in question, mortgaged it on the 31st of July to the present plaintiffs. This mortgage specified all the properties, including machinery which were then connected with the premises. On the 11th May; 1839, on the marriage of Mr. Jellies Whit taker, the property was vested in the trustees (the nominal plaintiffs in this case). On the 28th February, 1866, Mr. Pym executed an assignment to the present defendants, and they, at the proper time, paid the interest on the mortgage to the trustees. In October, 1857, the sale of the property was advertised; and, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the trustees, the defendants sold all. The money realised by the articles mentioned in the mortgage had been paid into court; but the plaintiffs now claimed, also, the articles since affixed. It was agreed to takca verdict for the plain tiffs, the defendants having leave to move as to the dis puted articles. MOORE V. OwEN.—The plaintiff in this action was a Liverpool merchant, andhe brought this action to recover compensation for damage which his goods have sustained through the negligence of the defendant. On the 23rd of February 948 bales of cotton were purchased by the plaintiff's agents in New Orleans, and upon the three following days it was sampled, and afterwards pressed. The captain of the ship Frank Boult, (the present defen dant,) received the cotton in good order, and certificates to that effect were signed both by the mate and himself. There was no damage done to it by the packing, for the affidavits of the broker and agent were put in and Teal, and they stated that it was in good order and condition when delivered into the custody of the defendant. When the vessel arrived here, in the month of May, so far from their being found in that good order and condi tion which Mr. Moore had reason to expect, 'they were in as bad a state as any cottons which are ever . sent to this port. A great number of the bales were, as appeared from the evidence of a number of eminent cotton brokers who had inspected them, caked on the outside to the extent of two, three, four or five inches. The cottons were then quite dry, and did not appear to have been sea-damaged. A number of the bales were also mouldy, and they, no doubt, contracted the'damp from the others, and thus, in consequence of the closeness of the hold, had come into their present state. Had the cotton been packed when wet, it would have been found (the plain tiffs' argued) that the injury would have proceeded from the centre towards the outside of the bales; being con fined to the outside, it must have been caused after the packing.. It was shown that the bales were left on the quay at New Orleans exposed for some days, and it was supposed that the wet and mud bad been contracted there. Two of the witnesses who were examined on behalf of the plaintiff stated (in their affidavits) that they saw the cotton lying on the quay at New Orleans; part of it was lying in the mud. On behalf of•the defendant a number of affidavits were read, which testified that the cotton could not have been injured by him, as, when lying on the quay, it was covered with tarpaulins; they further stated that it was very rainy while the cotton was waiting for shipment, and that probably the injury was caused by the rain. Mr. Edward James, Q.C., and Mr. Millward, were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Mellish conducted the case for the defendant. The jury after retiring found a verdict for a u lt i '-past ' five o'clock. the T p h l e ai c n o t u i ff r t, adjourned .£ a l t9h3 FATAL AccrnEsTs.---On Saturday a man named John Hopkins, was engaged at the Steam-tug " R eso l ute, " lying in the river, he fell into the water, and although ever y effort was made to sav e him, he perished. The body has not been found. On Saturday, a child named Hammond, the son of parents living in Ascot-street, off Athol-street, was drowned in the cana l . T he body was got out soon , but. life was e x ti nct. Mary Power, 22 mon ths old, the child of parents living in Present-street, was scalded on the 6th inst., and died from the effects of the injuries on Saturday. Another child named John Lohiede, 2 years of age, the son of parents living in 62, Great Nelson-street, was scald e d on Friday and died on Saturday last from the injuries, HORBIBI,E• TREApIENT AND DEATH Oil AN IDIOt ]OY. On Saturday an ingtieg *a held at Dudley, South Staffordshire, on the body of uii idiot bby, aged eleven years, who died on Tuesday last from the effects - of hor rible treatment by his parents. Mary Davis, witness, said that she had seen the deceased, when able to get about, rush to the ashpit, and there greedily eat up herrings' heads, fowls' entrails, and other abomin able refuse. The child was unable to speak ; it was quite idiotic. A correspondent says that the body of the child is the most horrible spectacle that can be imagined. Although eleven years of age, its • apparent weight is not more than 20 lbs. There is no flesh whatever upon its bones, the knees and elbows protrude through the skin, which is almost transparent, and the stomach appears to be totally void of food. Some of the neighbours show the greatest apathy about the case, stating, when questioned, that they have been aware what was going on for three years. The inquest will be resumed to-morrow (Wednesday). DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY. At an early bout yesterday morning a child named Annie Eliza Hausforcl, aged six years, expired in Guy's Hospital, having on the previous night met with a frightful accident on the London and Brighton Railway, under the following circumstances :—The deceased lived with her parents, persons of the greatest respec tability, at South Vale, Central-hill, Upper Norwood. On Sunday morning a young lady, a friend of the family, obtained permission to take the chili to London to spend the day with a mutual friend. On returning home they took the last train to Norwood, and arrived in safety until near Annerley station, when the de ceased leant against one of the doors, which immediately flew open, and the poor little child fell out of the carriage backwards on to the line. The young lady who bad charge of the deceased made a desperate attempt to catch hold of her, and would also have fallen out of the carriage had not a fellow-passenger, a gentleman with great presence of mind, sprang forward and saved her. The train having stopped, an alarm was raised, and a search was made for the unfortunate child, who was found, strange to say, still alive, although the whole train had passed over her, nearly severing both legs from the body. It is stated that the carriage door was left open by some of the company's servants, which was the cause of the accident ; but whether such is the fact will no doubt be elicited from the several witnesses at the coroner's investigation. ~.~:. .a :~' ANOTHER MURDER AT FROME. FROME, Sunday Evening. This town, which has been so intensely excited of late by the Road tragedy, was again thrown into consterna tion this morning by the discovery of a dead body, from the appearance of which there is every reason to believe another foul murder has been perpetrated. About nine o'clock this morning a boy was walking in the road by the side of the Frome river, at a place called IWelshmill, in this town, when he perceived something having the appearance of a corpse floating in the water. Re immediately gave the alarm, and the gardener of Dr. Harrison, one of our magistrates, having extricated the object, it was found to be the dead body of a flue and healthy male child. It was quite dead, and its little arms were bent up towards the face. 'lt appeared to have been in the water only a few hours at the most, as blood was still exuding from the nostrils. Around the neck was a portion of a staylace with which the deceased had appa rently been strangled. The body was immediately con veyed to the Griffin Inn, which, together with the spot where the child was found, is close to the most populous portion of the town. Here it was viewed by Dr. White, who pronounced it to have lived, although it was but a few hours old ; some of the customary midwifery opera tions had not been performed upon it. The body awaits the coroner's inquest, and the police are actively inves tigating the matter. We hear, just previous to the despatch of our parcel, that. Mr. Superintendent Sum mers is sanguine of obtaining a clue to the murderer. LIVERPOOL SOCIETY OF. FINE ARTS.—The private view of the Liverpool Society of Fine Arts' next exhibi tion will be held on the 25th inst.. Report speaks well of the prospects of this exhibition. We hear that, in addition to this year's pictures by Mr. Solomon, and Mr. O'Neil, there are arrived in Liverpool, a "Harvest Scene," by Mr. Witherington, R.A. ; " The Murder of Thomas a Becket," by Mr. Cross; Mr. Huristone's "Margaret of Anjou and the Robbers," " The Death of Gustavus Adolphus," by M. Gessellechaps ; " Caractacus," by Mr. Norbury, and many landscape and genre pictures by English and Continental artists, including Messrs. Pyne, Armitage, Tidey, Len, Warren, Achenbach, Niemann, Boddington, Van Schendel, Seigert, Hayes, Walters, Hart, Cave, Thomas, Dobbin, Boser, Pettitt, Wingfield, Bossuet, Dielmann, Hcmsley, Eugene Verboeckhoven, and others. THE CTTNARD VESSELS.—SeveraI Irish papers have published the following► circular : • Tower-buildings, Water-street, Liverpool. 9th August. DEArt Slit.,—Will you please discontinue booking passengers for this line until further notice. The season's shipment of goods being now at an end, the sailing of these steamers will he discontinued until the recommencement of the busy season, which will probably be early in December. We are, dear sir, yours respectfully, JAMES BAINES AND CO. It is accompanied by a statement that the whole of the Cunard steamers are to be withdrawn from Queenstown in consequence of the ratification of the Galway subsidy contract. Our Irish contemporaries are mistaken in their conclusions. The determination of the Cunard Company applies only to the line of screw steamers, which have called at that port on alternate Wednesdays. The reason why the company has discontinued running that particular line is only of a temporary nature, as will be seen from the following "Notice to Shippers," issued on the Bth inst : The season's shipments to New York having nearly termi nated, the sailiags of this line of screw steamers will be discon tinued until the re-commencement of the busy season. The passenger paddle steamers of the Cunard line will continue, as usual, to call at Queenstown.

The Teeth influence the form and expression of the countenance more than is generally imagined, and the finest face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dis agreeable expression is produced. When the Teeth are good and regular, there is, when speaking or smiling, a f:oicination present which prevents further examination of the countenance. The most striking cases are those persons about the middle period of life who have lost their Teeth; for, how *ever clear and perfect their utterance may have been before their less, it is impossible to regain it without sup• plying the deficiency by means of Artificial Teeth.
