BIIIN.ENUEAD POI,ICE COURT, YESTERDAY.—WiIIiam Ford, a seaman on board ll.M.'s ship Majestic, at pre sent moored in the Sloyne, was brought up before the Rev. R. M. Feuding, the Rev. Mr. Coxon, Mr. R. Barton, and Mr. J. R. Shaw, charged with having stolen two £5 Bank of England notes from one of the officers on board. A beerbouse-keepet in _Birkenhcid had changed the notes for the man, giving only 3Qs 'for one of them e and a sum not much larger, for the other. The case was not gone into yesterday, and the prisoner was remanded until . to-morrow (Saturday).—The bench constituted themselves an adjourned highway session, and proceeded with the adjourned inquiry in reference to the objections raised at Neston against the accounts submitted by the lete surveyors of highways for Orton. Mr, Bretherton appeared on behalf- of Mr. Henderson, a ratepayer, to object to the passing of. the accounts; and-Mr. Conway, barrister, appeared -for e the s late surveyors, Mr. Henry Denson and 'a r, John N . ew r burn, instructed - by Mr. Rymer. We have already given- the particulars -of the case at Neston, and, so far as the facts are concerned, what transpired yesterday was, to a great extent, a repetition. -Mr. Henry Denson was examined at considerable length, both by Mr. Conway and Mr.. Bretherton. In the course of his evidence he stated that there was a surplus .of about £lO4 when he took office ; that that surplus, hoWever, was a sum Which had leeen raised for a specific purpose, to which it was after Wards applied ; that'a highway rate of 6d. in the pound was laid by himself and his brother , surveyor, realising about £262 ; that the chief part of this money was expended in a manner directed by dis tinct resolutions come to, at vestry meetings, on' several occasions since 1854, in making and repairing portions of Shrewsburyeroad and Alton-terrace: It was admitted in cross-examination that' Mr. John Newborn had done some carting in respect of this Work, for which he had been paid about £l2 art of the - rate. Mr. Bretherton contended that the roads in question, although the land owners joined iu the expense, were not adopted roads, and should.not, therefore, be repaired at the expense of the ratepayers; and he insinuated' fleet the_ parties instrumental in carrying the resolutions in question were personally interested in the improvement of the roads. Mr. Conway replied ; but the Bench held that the expenditure. though sanctioned at Vestry meetings, had been illegally incurred ; and that although no blame. whatever could personally attach to the surveyors, who had an onerous duty to perform, without receiving any remuneration, still it would. be better that in. future no expenses should be incurred that were- not strictly legal. After much argument on both sides, the -case WAS adjourned until the 26th ; the chairman. of . the bench-. expressing w hope that in the meantime- some under standing would be come tows to the future, which might. induce Mr. - BrethertOn to withdraw -his present objec tions, and allim the highway accounts to be passed.

Mr. Evans was in attendance, and explained that he had on ly read and expounded the scriptures to persons - of his own creed, though he would not send away arty per. sou who chose to come and listen. He had never soli cited P 7 pf the " opposite party " to listen to him, but they hailed him to read the scriptures to them. He had, however, replied the : t b.O must go to his own people." In answer to the rector, Mr. Evaps said by- " opposite we er he meant the Roman Catholics. To Mr. Whitty, , Evans said he was ccaniceted i prin4pally with the 'Weste Methodist Chapel in .._oat-iitreet. r; The rector read t e order of the Poor-law Board on the subjeet, and said that visitors 133114 not conduct their services in such - a way as to be - offensive to the con sciences of other religionists. — The Cheirnian said the complaint made against Mr. Evans would equally apply to the Rev.

REPORTED MURDER IN LIVERPOOL. At the Essex-street Police-station, yesterday, John Gillman, aged ten years, residing at 77,11 and-street, and Agnes Wilson; about seven years of age, 96, Clevedon street, Park, reliorted that in the afternoon 'they saw. two women, dressed in black, without bonnets, caps, or shawls; and barefooted, whose names are yet unknown, and who seemed to be, to some extent, under the influence of drink, after hurriedly and anxiously-looking around them for some time, throW a child, apparently of two or three years of age, into a deep water pit in the. Brickfield, between Beresford-road and Parkhill- road. The child, after some little struggle, is said to have sunk. Several police-officers were at once set to guard the pit and keep the crowd back, while labourers were employed.te run off the water in the pit supposed to contain the body of the murdered child into another pit adjoining. Grappling irons had been employed without any discovery. At a late hour last night the greatest anxiety was felt in the neighbourhood as to the result ef the laudable efforts of the police thoroughly to investigate this mystery without loss of time. But it yet remains to be seen what truth, if any, there is in the mysterious alarm. We have a strong suspicion that this report may have been got up for a purpose ; but such as it is we give it as it appears on the face of the police books. Great crowds were collected late last night on the scene of the reported • disasfer, and much excitement and speculation as to the truth of the report prevailed. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT, YESTERDAY.

The examination Of the body of the baron resulted in the =following opinion gives by Dr. Rokitansky and Dr. Cessner "1. That as Baron Bruck lost a great quantity of blood from . the wounds which hi inflicted- onhimself, it must be, concluded .:.be died loss of blood, unless, indeed, an analytical examination of the contents of the stomach' should Show that- a very active poison con tributed:to, his desth, Th e:ebronie. *erous effusion in the skull, the relaxation of the substance of the heart, aud the sebaceous (tallowy) state of the liver justify the conclusion that Baron Bruck,, being in a. state of great distress.of mind and of despondeney, committed suicide. " The following information, which is from privite Sources, will explain hew.it,bappezied that a part of the truth was so long kept from the knowledge of the autho ritiei. Baron Bruck's valet; who was awakened between six and seven in the morning of. Monday last by the ring ing of his master's bell, immediately obeyed the sum mons, and found the unfortunate man bathed in his blood, and almost insensible. The servant at once called the minister's two tons, and they sent him for the physicians Breuning and Wering, who found the patient much exhausted from loss of blood, but not in a positively hopeless state. The - family being exceedingly desirous to keep what had occurred. from the knowledge of the world, entreated the medical Men to remain silent, and they, as it appears; consented to do so, -- In the course of the day, however,.they became alarmed, and insistid on some of their more renowned Colleagues being called in. The family would fain have persuaded them to wait for a time. but they were not to be moved, and it wit settled that a consultatfon should be held at calf--past sin in the afternocat. Before that hour arrived Baron )3rueli had ceased to be. The presumption is , that the ex-minister took some vegetable poison, morphine or strychnine, dur ing the night, and that he inflicted the wound on hisneck and wrists towards morning, in order to bring on,death more speedily. In what way and to what extent Baron Bruck was implicated in the Eynatten-Revoltella affair we know not,.but he would probably have been arrested had he not killed himself. On Wednesday, the 18th, he refused to be examined by M. Hitzinger, the judge, on the plea that he, as minister, was responsible to the Emperor alone, but on Friday he consented to reply to the questions which were put to him. After his examina tion on the last mentioned day, M. Hitzinger and M. Beller, the general prosecutor, had an interview with Count Goluchowski, the Minister of the Interior, and Count Nadosdy, the Minister of Justice, and those gen tlemen subsequently declared to the Emperor that the ends of justice required the temporal dismissal of B a ron Bruck from office.

Six voluminous Parliamentary papers were issued yesterday, showing the probable cost of the civil depart ments of the Government during the year ending on the 31st of March, 1861. The first document relates to " Public 'Works and Buildings," the second to the " Salaries and Expenses of Public Departments," the third to "Law and Justice," the fourth to "Education, Science, and Art," the fifth to the " Colonial, Consular, and other Foreign Services," and the sixth to' "Super annuation and Retired Allowances and Gratuities for Charitable and other Purposes." The total cost of public works and buildings during the financial year on which we have just entered is estimated at £621,990, showing a decrease from last year of £171,854. A large portion of this decrease arises from the diminution of the expenditure on Holy head Harbour, which absorbed £BO,OOO last year, and will only require £30,000 this year. £24,130 is saved in the expenditure on probate courts and regis tries, the cost of maintaining which during the year will not exceed £5,000. The large expenditure of last year on Portpatrick Harbour is almost totally extin guished, and a saving of £20,000 thus effected, and £lB,OOO are saved in the expenditure of the new Rouses of Parliament, which are expected to absorb £39,597. Of the thirteen items in the estimate, all but one —that of " Kingstown Harbour "—require a smaller disburse ment than they did last year, and in the exceptional case the increase is trifling. • The second estimate, that of the salaries and expenses of public departments, is more serious in its amount than the first. The total for the year 1860 i 9 £1,413,503, a sum, strange to say, within £8 of the corresponding sum last year. The most considerable item in this estimate is that of Printing and Sta tionery," and although the cost is slightly less than it was last year, it remains at the large amount of £335,285. The detailed account of this item is accompanied by a letter from Mr. J. R. M'Culloch, the comptroller of :he stationery office, to Mr. Samuel Laing, m.p., explaining the efforts which have . been made in his department for the reduction of expenditure. Par liamentary printing, he says, will cost less than formerly, the patent of lier Majesty's printers having expired. " Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode have, how ever, been continued as printers of the acts, under an arrangement which may be terminated at any time that Government may think fit, and at rates of charge that are more than 50 per cent. under those that were formerly allowed 'for the same se►vice. It is but fair to Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode to say that they offered no opposition to the new arrangements, which it is hoped may be fur their advantage as well as for that of the public." Mr. M'Culloch anti cipates a diminution of £12,000 of expenditure in consequence of the repeal of the paper duty. "The cost of printing for commissions is much greater than would be readily imagined. There are at this moment, or were very lately, about eighteen commissions iu existence; and they all, or mostly all, either have had, or will hare, very large demands for printing. And were it not for the new plan that has been adopted of printing the evidence taken by commissions, its cost would have been much greater." The new plan to which he refers is that of printing the evidence in double columns, by which arrangement a smaller type can be used,. and, a saving effected in paper. The "Postage of public departments will cost £21,375 more this year than formerly, the total amount of the item being' £128,625." 'The War Office is guilty of the greatest expenditure under this head, requiring £20,000 to defray its postal expenses. A very important item in the estimate we are now examining is that of "Poor-law Medical Relief," its amount being £103,000, but its details are not explained. Large as the sum is, it is not the whole required by the Poor-law department. The Poor-law Commissioners require £68,669, the Poor-law auditors of unions £19,300, and the Poor-law schoolmasters £32,000. The offices attached to the Houses of Parliament require £87,485 for their maintenance, and the Foreign Office £62,145. In the expenses of this office a reduction of £20,655 has been effected, the expense of last year being greater by that amount than those of the year 1860. The total cost of Law and Justice in the United Kingdom is to be £2,565,301 during the year on which we have now entered. Of this sum England requires £756,943, Scotland £140,951, and Ireland £857,816. The remainder of the two and a half millions, £779,591, is absorbed by the prison and convict services at home and abroad. Each. of these items is greater than that corresponding to it in the estimates for the past year, and the total increase is £20,651. In addition to these sums, £422,679 in England, £112,539 in Scotland, and £177,202 in Ireland, arc chargeable on the Con solidated Fund under the head "Courts of Justice." The expenses to be incurred in advancing education, science, and art during this year are, in all, £1,305,912. Of this £798,167 are spent on public education in Great Britain, £270,722 on public education in Ireland. The only other large item in this estimate is that of the British Museum, which requires £100,850. Although there are certain item° which are heavier this year than they have been formerly, their total shown a diminution of expenditure from last year to the extent of £22,541. The colonial, consular, and other foreign services, will require £484,012 during this year, about half being. paid to consuls abroad. The superannuations and retired allowances will require £177,713, and the donations to charitable institutions raise the vote to £263,910, a greater sum by £lO,OOO than the equivalent in 1859. THE COMMISSION OF VOLUNTEER OFFICERS. Yesterday an influential meeting of the officers of the Volunteer Corps' of Liverpool and Birkenhead, took place at the Cotton Sales-room, Exchange-buildings, to • protest against the interference with the meaning of the law respecting the position of Volunteer officers recently made in some quarters: Colonel Brairne, the • senior officer of the Liverpool Volunteers, was called upon to preside. There were about seventy-seven officers present, amongst whom we noticed the following gentlemen : --:Lie utl-Col. W. Brown; Major Walter, Artil lery ; - Lieut. Cunningham, 42 nd Lancashire ; Ensign Bacon, 16th Lancashire ; Ensign Horsfall ; Ensign Baron.; Captain Cadell, Ist Cheshire ; CaptainM'lnroy ; Captain Parr, 22nd Lancashire ; Captain Bushby, 6th Lancashire; Captain poulei ; Lieut. Jones, 39th Lan cashire; Captain Tinley, sth Lancashire ; 'Captain V. King, Cheshire; Captain F.-J. Eaton, 15th Lancashire; Captain Harrison, Cheshire i Captain Bentley; Lieut. Henshall, Ist, Lancashire; Captain Griffiths, 39th Lan cashire ; Ensign Cotton, Lieut.

Howard, Ensign bfaeon,.lst Istneashire. . ,The Chairman .briefly opened the business of the meeting, regretting that some person of . greater ability than himself had not beeO placed in' the 'chair. From the little experiente whieh•hahad, he felt that -gentle men who gave a large portion of their time ,to their country. were entitled to rank equal with the officers of , militia and the line. Colonel Biow's moved that, inasmuch as by the 26th section 'of the General-Volunteer Act, under which the o ffi ce/4 a Volunteer ems receive their commissions, it is enacted "Tbst all officers in Corps of Volunt eers, having commissions from his Majesty onLietitenants of Counties, shall rank With the officers of his" Majesty's Regular and Militia Forces. as the youngest of their respective ranks,",--we, officers of Volunteer Corps, in public meeting assembled, having been informed that attempta to interfere with the full meaning of the law have been recently made, and feeling that such proceed ings are calculated seriously to diminish the influence which our:commissions are, intended tuconfer, earnestly protect !gal . * any infringement of our, just .privileges." He stated that if the Volunteers were to be discouraged, , , the object for which • they were organised would be defeated. To - be unable to appear in Court with his uniform on, .and a's a .colonel, he felt was .degrading, and should not - be snbmitted 'to. The VOlimteers sup ported themselves, and took no money from the State in order to preserve her Majesty and maintain the honour of the country among 'the nations of -the earth. Al interference with their• jnst rights aga ., privileges was unjustifiable; and, if continued, would certainly, lead to the resignation of many partiei. • Major WALTER seconded the resolution, and read the following letter from Captain Adam S. Gladstone : " Dear• Major Walter,---I regret exceedingly - that I am called out of town this afternoon, and will not, therefore, be able to second the resolution to be proposed , at the meeting of the - volUnteers. Desiring, as I heartily do, to see thein'in the enjoyment of their, rights and privileges accorded • under - the commissions; which appear to me very. clearly defined in the Act of parliament, h entirely concur in the object of the tiverPool Meeting."

IDAY, MAY 4, 1860. TRAINING SHIPS. If ow that the state of our naval reserve has attracted considerable attention, some account of the training ships, in which the naval volunteers are drilled, will not be without its interest. Those who go on board expecting to see the neat dicipline and uniformity of dress which prevails on board a regular man-of-war, will be disappointed. Gold lace and quarter-deck routine is wisely kept as much in the back-ground as possible. Thus the men, being all merchant seamen, come in what dress they like, and as long as they go through their 28 days' drill iu the course of the year—doing duty at whatever periods are most convenient to themselves —they earn their £lO, and can go about their business till the twelvemonth has expired, when they take twenty-eight days more in the same manner. Those on board the Brilliant, a 26-gun frigate, now lying in West India Docks, are all in the West India trade, and as a matter of course prefer to take their twenty-eight days' drill at once. Those in the coasting and home trades take four drills of seven days each, whenever they choose, in the intervals between their regular voyages. On board the Brilliant, as in all the other vessels, the men come on board at half-past nine in the morning, when they are mustered and told off to their guns in time to commence at ten o'clock. From this till twelve they work at the guns, when they are allowed two hours for dinner, falling in again at two and drill ing till half-past four, when they dismiss and go home, having, of course, all the rest of the d.ty to themselves. These hours are easy enough, yet, short as they are, from the men liking the exercise (especially the broad sword), they contrive to make astonishing proficiency when the time of their drill is taken into consideration. Yesterday on board the Brilliant, from the time the word was given to fall in till they had tired three rounds from each gun at 400, 600, and 800 yards' elevation. was only four minutes—a most creditable result when it is recollected that some of the men had only been a week at quarters and none had fully completed their twenty eight days. The advantages which are held out to induce the able seamen to join this reserve are apparently so great that one requires to investigate carefully the causes which have led the mass of the able seamen, up almost to the present time, to regard the whole plan with a feeling which, if not quite dislike, was at least one of con siderable suspicion. Each man during drill receives a guinea a week pay, in addition to the £6 yearly, paid every quarter, half-year, or year, as he may please. During actual service in the navy (if they are ever called upon) they receive the same pay as continuous service men, or about 9s. a month more than other able seamen. They are entitled to receive the same bedding, clothing, and mess traps on joining as those that ship for con tinuous service ; and after enrolment in the volunteers for 15 years. whether called out or not, they can claim their discharge and their pension forthwith. With such inducements it was not unnaturally thought that the men would flock to be enrolled in hundreds. Yet, though some three months have elapsed since the scheme was promulgated, very little more than 1,000 able seamen have been entered. These, however, it must be admitted, are all picked men ; and, as the weekly number of enrolments now shows a steady increase, there seems very little doubt but that before the year expires at least between 3,000 and 4,000 will be on the lists. The proportion of petty officers and able seamen to ordinary seamen and boys employed in the navy is about one-third, and scarcely any of the best manned vessels now in the Channel Fleet muster more than 250 able seaman among their blue-jackets. One cause of dissatisfaction still remains, and that is that the seamen du not receive their quarter's bounty on entering the reserve, but only when they have completed the three months, and this rule is adhered to, though in the , great majority of instancesno drill is demanded at all during this first quarter. No Glass of the community is more accessi ble to the inducements of ready money payment than sailor, and none, as a general rule, areso little influenced by pro spective advantages. Therefore, when to the suspicion of being sent abroad is added to the drawback of having to wait three months before they get their bounty, only a very superior and provident class of seamen (always a minority) wilt join the reserve at all. There is not the least doubt but that if the men received their bounty in proportion as they completed a quarter's or six months' drill it would be easy to raise a reserve of 8,000 or even 10,000 men, within a very short space of time. One most important feature in favour of the Naval Reserve is that some of the seamen's unions in the north have through their delegates now warmly taken up its cause, and are forward in advocating its claims upon the support of the men. Such aid on the part of the most provident and careful body of seamen in the country, is of course most important, and will soon yield good results. Masters of vessels also give a decided preference to reserve men, as naturally the most steady and best trained, and this also is slowly, though surely, producing its effect. If the government were only bold enough and liberal enough to take one step more and pay the able seamen in the navy at the same rate which they now receive in the merchant service, we should hear of no more difficulties as to want of seamen. This increase Would add only £140,000 a year to the estimates—a small sum for so great a good. " Bridget, bring me the castor oil, the baby is sick." " It's all gone, marm, not a drop left."

Skiddaw and the adjoining mountains continue to wear their wintry garb. Vegetation makes no progress, and the mountain sheep are consequently suffering severely from the protracted rigours and want of fodder. So severe a winter has not been experienced in the lake district for the last twenty three years.

EAST COAST PISUIRIES.—The fishing interest on the east coast, frota London as far north as Scarborough, embraces 1,757 vessels, with a total tonnage of 75 ) 633 tons, and empl9es- 23,072 men, and an invested capi tal of about £002,099.

An exciting scene occurred in a Silth-avenue eel. A young, sprucely-dressed and very tall doctor, who has an office in Cottage-row, suddenly found himself thrust into noteriety and from the car at the same time. It was the work of a moment. A burly-looking man seized the compounder of drugs by the coat collar, pulled him from his seat, led him to the platform and, jumping off, hauled the doctor after him. The inmates of the oar looked on wonderingly. There was that, moreover, in the countenance of the man of burly figure, plainly indicating the end was not yet. Several leaped flora the car, anxious to see the winding up of the affair. .4 large crowd quickly gathered, and followed close upon the heels of the tall doctor and his conductor. In a few moments the two central objects of interest—the doctor and his leader, the former as servilely submissive to the latter as is the mammoth elephant to his puny keeper—entered a house in Christopher-street. The throng, not being allowed to follow them into the house, lingered in front. " Take that," " take that," were soon heard from inside, in a tone carrying striking meaning with it. Simultaneous with these utterances was also audible a voice supplicating mercy, in a tone like to that in which the ancient Roman importuned Cassius to rescue him from the watery depths of the chafing Tiber. In a few moments the door was opened. The tall doctor came tumbling down the steps. The uprising of a boot was plainly perceptible in the vista. There was blood on the doctor's face and on his clothei. He looked chop fallen to a remarkable degree. Silently he moved away, and a crowd followed till his form disappeared in one of the houses in Cottage-row. Such a scene as that related could not well occur without creating a good deal of exeitement and inquiry into the facts. The doctor had insulted the wife Qf the man who beat him. The husband who took the method of vengeance described is a Well-known butcher in Jef ferson 'market. We suppress the names of the parties for obvious reasons. It is believed the taLl 'eLdelor- 7 5he stands six feet two inches in his stockings—has not sus tained injuries of a lasting character; but the lesson'he has received, it ii to be hoPed, will prove of lltsting service.—American Paper. HUMAN LIFE.—Hope writes the poetry of the boy, but memory that of man. Man looks forward with smiles, but backwards with sighs. Such is the wise providence of God. The cup of life is sweetest at the brim, the flavour is impaired as we drink deeper, and the dregs are made bitter that we may not struggle when it is taken from our lips. Old Adams, the great California huntet, has arrived in San Francisco with 150 living animals of his own capturing. Among them are seventeen dancing and performing bears, buffalo, elk, two 'California lions, tigers, lynx, cougars, snakes, condors, vultures, eagles, &c. It is probably the largest exhibition of the kind ever collected by one man. The Irish exodus this season—if the reports are not exaggerated—is likely to be as marvellous in its ettent as that which followed upon the terrible, fainine of. 184 G-7. The provincial papers teem with the subject, and the farmers remaining at home• have taken the alarm at the almost certain prospect of a scarcity of labourers and the consequent enhanced price of labour. INTERRUPTION OF A PRIZE. FIGHT.-At , the Walsall Petty Sessions, David Welsh was charged with having been the cause of a number of people assembling at the Three Crowns Inn, on the Sutton-road, for the purpose of witnessing a prize tight with the view of committing a breach of the peace. Chief Superintendent Carter deposed that, having heard that there was to be a meeting of the nature complained of, he went. ou Sunday morning at six o'clock, to the house named, and there saw the prisoner with a number of others. On seeing him they went away, the prisoner making his escape, but afterwards being taken iu a cart, under the seat of which he had hid himself. Mr. Carter produced Bella Life, a paragraph in which announced that Joseph Ainos, of Bloxwich, and David Welsh, of Walsall, were engaged to fight on Monday, the 30th of April, within twelve miles of Walsall, for £lO a side. Mr. Ebsworth contended that there was no evidence whatever that a breach of the peace was intended, and after a brief deliberation, the bench decided that the evidence was not sufficient to prove the case. The summons was accordingly dismissed. COURT MARTIAI, O. A MARINE.—CIIATHAM, April 30.—After an exceedingly long interval, the infliction of corporal punishment was resorted to at this garrison this morning on a private of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, named Joseph Waketleld, for a gross act of insubordination. The prisoner, who is a man of exceedingly bad character, was tried a few days since for desertion and making away with his regimental neces saries, and this morning the whole of the officers and men of the division were assembled on the parade ground of the Royal ]lfarive Barracks to hear the sentence promulgated. The prisoner having been marched to the centre, the decision of the court was read, the prisoner being sentenced to be branded with the letter " Do" and to he imprisoned 168 days. The moment the prisoner heard his sentence, he shouted out at the top of his voice to .Colonel . U'Killop, that " he would be it' he would do it, and he might do it himself." As this flagrant case of insubordination occurred in the presence of the entire division,.Colonel Rea, the commandant, determined to make a prompt example of the prisoner, and ordered a " drum-head" . court-martial to assemble immediately, to try the . prisoner. The officers accordingly assembled, and sen tenced the prisoner to receive 60 lashes, which sentence was carried out to-day. DEATH AT LEWES FROM OVERDOSE OF PRUSSIC ACID.—F. H. Gell, Esq., district coroner, has held an inquest at the Royal Oak Inn, Lewes, touching the death of Thomas Holmes, a lad of 17, who . was appren ticed to Mr. Low, chemist, Lewes. From the evidence adduced at the inquest it appears that the lad left his master's shop at eight o'clock, and returned about half-- past nine, which was not an unusual thing for him to do. About three minutes after he entered- the shop he called out to his master, who was in a room upstairs. On Mr. Low going into the shop he saw the deceased sitting On 'the step leading to the •sitting-r6om, and seemingly in a fainting state. His master had seen him in a fainting state before, but' it did not eleite much alarm; but as deceased did. not seem to &et - better, his mother, and afterwards the d?c,tor; ware fetched. The* drawer containing pripsic acid wait. also.. noticed to be open, and the best antidolal means iverelhen used, but' without effect. The: wafOrtunate youth never rallied, and be died in abOnt twenty minutes. It Was elicited that the deceased had been. for some time. past in the habit of taking small doses of prussic acid, for the pur pose of alleviating palpitation of the heart, to which he was subject. On the day of his death he had his usual cheerful demeanour, and a short time before he left the shop he was chatting in his usual manner to Mr. Low. The jury returned a verdict that the deoeased 'Met 'his death from incautiously takir,:g an over - dose of prusiic acid, which he used for, medicinal purposes. Mr.-Low said the deceased's habit of taking poison Was entirely unknoien to him, and without his consent. As it was not often used, a small quantity taken now and then would not be missed.
