Mould t) The o: S Inevitab. warnir The report which the minority of the Committee of Congress on Foreign Affairs has presented on the Bill for authorising and enabling the President to purchase Cuba, has not been without its effect already upon the country. They declare in it, that " in every view of the case, we are opposed to the Bill submitted by the m5.i. , 41-s; of tha dint reetililmuuti WWI it be rejected by the House." Various reasons are assigned, and strong arguments are used in support of them. They then declare their sentiments, in conclusion, " We further beg leave to remark that, so far as terri tory, population, and magnitUde of resources are concerned, the United States are now entirely tare.- Expressions of fear, or appeals to the imperative •and overuling law of self-preserva tion, as the motive for further acquisitions of territory, are so groundless as scarcely to be - worthy of any very serious consideration. The safety of the United States depends upon a wise education, of their own people, and a wise develop ment of their own resources. Let them follow, at and abroad, the golden rule, which by the •_ - himself, in a former communication to the Senate (of January 7, 1858, relative to the capture of General 'Walker), has been declared to be of commandment, and no power on earth can 'tem. In that is their safety. let them Aabitnally violate this rule, and no power on earth can save them. In that is their danger. Like all other people, we are governed by the Laws under which the universe was created, and, like the nations which have gone before as, we shall reap :the rewar d s o f o b e di e n ce or suffer the penalties of disobedience." • There is a great deal of good common sense,- along with much right principle, in this statement ; and the time will not improbably come, when its truth will be more generally acknowledged than it seems to Presid divine he at prc Th -- " munh honou low York Herald does not appear to think if any at all, was done, in America, A any rate, to the memory of the Scottish Bard, by the recent celebrations of the "Burns Centenary," • though they seemed to be.

Leaking the actual balance in favour of the United States 42,031,271 dols. But it is denied that this is really a " balance of trade!' It is insist e d upon, zifieed, that there is,, that there can be, no such thing. "If commerce between nations,,, it is argued, "is nothing more than the exchan g e of the surplus each has. after supplying his ,own wants there can be no such thing as an adverse. balance of trade ; for a surplus over what is required for us has no value until it can be exchanged for something that we can use and do not possess. In thi§ way the true values of trade are created by itself, and neither party can be a loser by the trans action ; for each exchanges what he does not want for - something which he requires and which, consequently, has for him a value. It is for this reason that commerce is always profitable to a country, no matter what adverse balances may be deduced from its fictitious valuations." This is no doubt a sensible view of the subject. And it is evi dently one which the progress and prosperity of the United States, concurrently with that of Great Britain, with which is its principal traffic, practi cally illustrates. The idea expressed in a former communication, of inviting Lord and Lady Napier to a farewell ball at New York, on the eve of their departure for England, it has now been settled shall be carried into effect, and it is likely ,to be a very grand affair. Washington has already paid the popular British Minister and his accomplished lady a similar compliment. But the New York ball is likely to eclipse it. Lord and Lady Napier appear to have won the respect of all with whom they have had any social intercourse, at New York as well as at Washington ; and the occasions of their meeting with them have not been few. The ball, which is to take place in the Academy of Music, is expected to be towards the middle of March, immediately after the close of the session of Congress, when the elite of the diplomatic, poli tical, and fashionable world will be in New York The new British Minister, Lord Lyons, will proba bly have arrived, and will, of course, be invited to be present. It will ena bl e L or d and Lady Napier to take home with them a pretty good idea of the taste and capabilities of New York for magnificent dancing assemblies, at the same time that it will leave a grateful impression of American respect and good will. We are shortly, it seems, to be honoured with visits from two of your great notabilities Spurgeon and Dickens. The former, who is engaged, it seems, as any other popular performer would be, is sure to be well received. But I have my doubts about the other. "It will be fresh in the memory of our readers," says the New York Herald, " that when Mr. Dickens first visited the United States he was caressed, feted and fooled almost to death, and that he repaid the snobs who made asses of themselves on his account with some 'American Notes,' which were hardly considered above par on this side of the Atlantic. It will be curious to see what sort of reception our people will give the great Cockney novelist when he comes as a sort of semi-theatrical star." This is evidently the sounding of a war note. And it is only the echo of the popular sentiment. INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM. Yesterday, a meeting was held at the Clarendon Rooms, for the purpose of taking steps for raising funds for the erection of a building for; and the maintenance of, infant orphans, under seven years of age. Mr. Samuel Holme, in the absence of the Mayor, was called upon to preside. - The Chairman stated that he had been requested by several gentlemen to preside, and he had willingly assented ; indeed, he had promised his Worship the Mayor that he would act in his absence. They were assembled together for the purpose of devising means for the erection of an additional building to the Orphan Asylum—this to be for infants. He should not enter into any particulars as to what had already been done, as the report to be, read by Mr. Banner would give all the information necessary. Mr._ Holme, at considerable length, made an appeal to the benevolent of the .popula tion for the means of erecting and , maintaining the building. He said that there were many in this town who were in receipt of ample incomes, who only subscribed to very few institutions, and indeed many who did not subscribe to a single charity, who, if they were personally waited upon, would, he had no doubt, liberally respond to the appeal, for such a benevolent object. Although the poor acted with so much charity to one another, it was not proper that the wealthy of the town should let the poor infant orphans be subjected to all the miseries and temptations of actual starvation. Ile concluded with calling upon _ _ Mi.Binner, who read the report. It stated that, it being found expedient to receive orphans under seven years of age, it was necessary to erect a separate building for that purpose. Land had been purchased, and the necessary preliminaries arranged. It was found that the building would cost about £7,000. A subscription among the private friends of the institution was started in July A,ll, -OA ,111111 Oolloobcd yr promised Dr. McNeile IVEs . .ealled upon to propos e th e fi rs t reso lution, to the effect that the establishment of an Infant Orphan Asylum was desirable. He said his business then was to ask money. Another new demand ? And why should there not be a new demand ? Then there were 'new discoveries in science—new discoveries in mechanics, new appliances of sciences by machines, new privileges coming into existence every month, and why not a new demand ? He then proceeded to show that this new demand was a most righteous one—lt was a necessary one—and it was incumbent upon all Chris tians to give it their support. There were many people in this town i'vho thought they were obeying Divine law by not wilfully disobeying it, but this was a mere nega tive goodness ; these people were full of self-indulgence, there was nothing of self-denial in them, and he called upon such to -mend their ways, and look around for objects of charity. There were many of them, and this "was one of the most pressing.- After a few remarks on the subject, he adverted to the future management of the Infant Orphan Asylum. He hoped that sufficient care would be taken that only those children whose parents were known, would be admitted into the asylum ; that no foundling should ever find a home in that building; if the latter was th e case th en i t would be a sort of incentive to vice, and he hoped that suf ficient attention would be given to this portion of the rules. Mr. Banner remarked that rules had been formed which undoubtedly excluded foundlings. Several impo sitions had been attempted in the case of the existing Orphan Asylum, but in no instance had they been successfnl. Mr. Samuel Martin geconded the resolution, remarking that he was very sorry to see the names of many of his friends so far in the list below himself, who were much more able than he to aid such a charity. The Rev. Archdeacon Jones moved the second resolution, to the effect that an urgent appeal be made to the public, and that a subscription be at once commenced for the purpose. He advocated in very happy terms the claims of the orphans upon the wealthier classes. The motion was seconded by Mr. Glazebrook, and was carried unanimously. The third and fourth resolutions were also carried That the rules as drawn up be approved of, and that a certain number of gentlemen be appointed as a provisional committee, also that the clergy be requested, to preach on behalf of, the Institution simultaneously or otherwise, as most convenient, and as early as possible. The meeting was very numerous, and was attended by • about thirty merchants and clergymen. A vote of thanks to Mr. Holme for his kindness in presiding at the meeting: terminated.thci SOUTH AFRICAN MISSIONS BIRKENHEAD. A meeting was hold at one o'clock yesterday, in the Holy Trinity Church Institute, Birkenhead, for the pur pose of hearing from the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Capetown, an account of the progress of Church Missions in South Africa. There was rather a limited attendance, those present being for the most part ladies. The chair was taken by the Rev. Dr. Baylee. The Chairman said, the meeting was .honoured that day by the ' presence of the Bishop of Cape town, who had come from theother side of the world in the interests of a very important diocese, and a very important part of the globe. He . (the chairman) had been very' much struck b y a re mark made by Mr. Newman, in a very lachry mose address put out to the Roman Catholics recietly. It was there said that if the Roman Catuolic body did not bestir itself, the Angelical church was in great danger of becoming the Catholic church of the world, for the Anglicans were spreading much fastei than the Roman Catholics. The African church was indeed thus spreading, but it was not in any antagonistic spirit ; it was spreading because the preachers were sent forth by Christ, not because they were com missioned against Roman Catholics. It was a most re markable featUre of the present day, that as England s commerce and empire was spreading, the English church was spreading also. The places of which the Bishop of Capetown was about to speak were of the most im ttpheonerdtmlngnete of th ose i nto which the English church was ex ,t i a n n g d to it h w e o a u r s d o h e e;e n f o o o r n e n t b n e f deeply r a i y n e t r e r o e f s e t i h n ri g 8 to ians teachin,rin those regi ons f rom t h e B i shop of Capte towThn'e Bishop o f Capetown the n came f orwar d am i d loud ! applause, an d proceeded.to describe his diocese covered, and th r e odgristerssict which the been made e n providing for had duri ng l ate years bb -MEETING IN THE NORTHERN TIMES TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1859 the wants of at least the English residents. They did not now want a single additional clergyman for the English population exclusively. Al t h oug h , . ' the number of clergymen had increased from 30 to 90, and the catechists from 3 to 60, they were scattered over a region twice as large as Great Britain, and therefore were, in some instances, 50 or, 100 miles asunder. A mission was now being established among the Zulus of Natal. The Z u l us were a race very mach inclined towards the British, and who had riot been reduced by the neglect of our government to the same condition of disaffection and dis-satisfaction as the Caffres. A remark!. able change had been taking place of late years, owingg mainly to the increased sense of responsibility which had awakened in the English Government with regard to their duties towards the people of those regions. No sooner had the Government risen up to do its duty, than the Caffre difficulty, which had been in their way for so many years, was at least for a time renewed The Caffre nation became broken up, in great measure because of the famine which had followed the act of suicidal folly committed by the Caffres, some years back, in the destruction of all their cattle, at the instigation of false prophets. Therefore, at a time when every soldier who could be spared was needed to suppress the mutiny in India, the Government were enabled so far to reduce their forces in South Africa that, instead of 12,000 ' soldiers upon tho se f r o n ti ers , there were now scarcely more than 2,000. It was mu c h to be regretted that, at this time, the Government should have withdrawn their grant which they had allowed to Sir George Grey for the purpose of civilising the Caffres. There were many posts for which teachers were now needed, and to which want of means prevented any ap r pointment being made. There was work being done among the Hottentots also, of a most imnortant character. There were, however, many branches of labour which loudly called for help, but which must remain neglected and uncared for, unless ample means were provided. He detailed many instances of applications made to him to found schools and places of worship, which he was com pelled to decline through the want of funds. He was also anxious to see St. Helena made a separate diocese, and to see provision made for the races on the east coast of South America. But more especially, he declared that they were called upon to wine out the stain which rested upon all Europe for having made no effort towards the evan,gelization of Cent r al Af r i ca . Other nations had been removed from that country. The Dutch and the Portuguese have been deprived of their influence there, because they did not fulfil the duty which was before them. Therefore, he urged that it remained for the English church to attempt this work. To aid this effort, he warmly appealed to the meeting and the public. A collection was then made, and other speakers having addressed the meeting, the proceedings terminated. BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS, Yesterday, an adjourned meeting of the Commission ers was held in the Board Ro om , Birkenhead. Mr. Laird occupied the chair. The resolution of the previous meeting, adjourning till Monday, was read by the Sec retary, who afterwards said, the petition against the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board's Bill was ready. He then proceeded to read the petition. The petition stated, that the accommodation sought for by the Liverpool Dock Board would have been amply provided for at Birken head, if the Corporation and Dock Board had proceeded with the works with the activity which they ought to have exercised ; and if those works were now pushed for ward in the way they ought to be, all the requirements of the board would be provided for, for many years to come. The fact of granting the power sought by the bill would delay the works at Birkenhead, and the money sought for was to be applied in the construction of works for which no appliance had been demanded, and any surplus, or surplus revenue, ought not to be applied i n the construction and exten s i on o f docks without . the sanction of Parliament ; but if the revenue be more than sufficient to meet the expenditure, the rates ought to be reduced, and the surplus applied in reducing the debts of the board. The Chairman proposed that the petition be agreed to, which was unanimously adopted. The Secretary then proceeded to read a petition against the Wirral Waterworks Bill for the construction of a well which would be injurious to the works of the Commis sioners. • When the petition was read, The Chairman said he thought it well to say that they had no desire to oppose the bill unless it was calculated to damage the Commissioners' supply of water. After having expended such a large sum of money on their works, they could not avoid opposing it ; but if they were satisfied that they would not be injured, then he would say, let the company go on with their bill, as he was satisfied the Commissioners had no desire to oppose it ; but they hid expended £220,000 on these works, and they must be careful of them. A Commissioner said there was a great likelihood of an invasion on the rig•hts of the Commis s i o n ers b y t h e to„-..->>.. r ..r - rtatititele as it was intended t o erect gas and water works, and he thought it would be worth the commissioners' consideration, that if the township adopted the Local Government Act, it would give them power to sink wells in any portion of the town they might think proper, and there was nothing to restrain them. The Chairman said he thought they were not likely to suffer from that at present, and he thought it would be well to proceed with the question before them. Dr. Baylis : We understand that this opposition to the bill is purely defensive. The Chairman : Just so ; and we would be willing to withdraw our opposition if the company would guarantee us secure from injury. The petition was unanimously approved of. The Chairman said, he was glad to see that at the last meeting they had come to a settlement of the question between them and the Railway Company, and the com pany had put their seal to it on Saturday, and had expressed their satisfaction with the whole matter. That would place the township in a better position than it had been for many years. He also saw that they had agreed to the rating of Liverpool docks. O ne thi ng wou ld h e say, had he been at the meeting he would have opposed it. He believed that if the docks were rated, they would be bound to watch and light them. He would oppose the rating of the docks, unless it were the law of the land. It could not be said that it was his interest to have no dock rates, as his interest was the opposite way. In any event he would have opposed that which had been agreed to. Dr. Baylis said it had been given them to understand by the deputation that the warehouses and clocks on that side of the river should come under the same rule as the Liverpool side. The Chairman said the law had been established on that side of the river. Dr. Baylis asked whether the agreement made with the Railway Company had not placed them in a more solvent position, in a financial point of view, than they had been for some fifteen years. The Chairman said he believed that the agreement was one of satisfaction to both, and that they were in a better position. The Commissioners could now sell their land or their property, and he hoped that they would be able to do so, and reduce the taxes. He was sure they never were in such a good position as now. He might say that a great number of his workmen were obliged to live in Liverpool, simply because they could not get houses on that side of the river, but now that the matter had been settled, there could be houses erected for working people. He believed that it would be better for them and for the company, and better for the town generally. This concluded the business. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL BETTING.--YESTERDAY.

MONETARY AND CONtiVIER,CIAL. LIVERPOOL, Monday Evening. - The tenor of the American news _ reeeived by the Arabia, has had the effect of causing a reaction in the Liverpool Cotton Market, which has been very quiet to-day, the sales amounting only to 6,000 bales, i nc l u di ng 1,000 t a k en f or speculation and export. Prices -were a shade , easier. The following are the particulars of Cotton in the ports of America, received by the Arabia, from the Ist of Sept. 1858, to Feb. 9, 1859. Total - Receipts. Clearances. To Gt. Britain. Stocks. 1858-9 2,470,800 ....1,280,909 761,505.......933,211 1857-8 ......1,478,000 .. 835,000 523,000 ....... 612,000 1856-7 There has been rather more activity in the Pro duce markets to-day, and some considerable transactions in Rice are reported, and prices have been firmer. A cargo of Rio Coffee has been taken for 46s 9d for a near continental port. In Rum 'there has been a moderate business at steady prices. The Sugar market being freely supplied there has been, more business doing, but no change can be re ported in prices. The Liverpool Share Market, influenced by the tone of the reports from London, has been heavy all day, and with few transactions prices have been heavy, and generally closed at a decline from Saturday's closing quotations. The following were the actual sales : Cale donian, 8311 ,Eastern Counties, .121 ; Lan cashire and Yorkshire, 952, 954, 951, 95fr, 95+; London and North Western, 951 ; Midland, 1011 ; North Eastern Berwick Stock, 93+ ; South Eastern, 22 ; Great Luxembourg, 61; Great Western of Canada, 15g:, 151, 15Z. The continued, and in d ee d increasing uncer tainty which attaches to Continental affairs, has again had an injurious effect upon the London Stock Market, which opened heavily, and con tinued throughout the day to show a downward movement, Consols for Money opened at 954. to 951, and finally left off weak at 95+. Three per Cents. opened at 951, and closed at 95 ; §-, to 951. The Railway Share Market was weak froni the opening to the close, and the amount of business done was quite small. The final closing prices were the lowest of the day. Bank and Mining shares showed but little change throughout the day. The following were the closing prices for Railway Shares : —Ambergate, Not tingham, and Eastern Junction, 6+, 6 ; Caledonians, 831, 841 ; Eastern Counties, 60+ ; East Lancashire, 90, 952; • Edinburgh and Glasgow, 71, 72 ; Great Northern, 104+ ; Do.

The state of the Money Market remains inactive, and the rate for first-class paper does not exceed 2 per cent. This condition of things arises from the doubt and • uncertainty which prevail with respect to the adjustment of political difficulties on the Continent, great caution continuing to be exercised in the departments connected with the export trade. At the Bank of England the appli cations on Saturday were moderate, and have gradually decreased within the last few' days. Through the generally abundant supply of capital the terms for accommodation on the Stock Ex change are exceedingly low, the absence of animation preventing the employment of any considerable surplus. The telegrams from Paris, this afternoon, are anything but re-assuring. The Bourse has been heavy, and with few transactions prices have had a declining tendency all day. Rentes were done at 67.75, and subsequently declined to 67.55, at which they were flat at the close. Dulness prevailed to-day in the Stock Exchange. The funds have declined about 2 per cent, being unfavourably effected by the terms of the circular addressed by the French Minister of the Interior to the prefects. The political crisis, continues to weigh heavily on most branches of business, and a very impatient feeling is tho Marhot to day oboinp bills were done between 2 and 21 per cent. There were no gold operations at the Bank.—Daily News City Article, Saturday Evening. The English Funds opened this morning at a recovery of 3 .1, but it was not maintained, and the market has again closed with a very bad appearance. The bullion at the Bank is greater than at any time during the last six years, and is the consequence of prevailing alarm, which is causing money t o b e w ithd rawn or withheld from all descriptions of enterprise.--Times City Article, Saturday Even ing. YESTERDAY'S MARKETS LIVERPOOL PRODUCE.—Colonial, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES, Sir,—ln a case reported at great length in the NORTHERN TIMES, of the 10th of the present month, it was stated by Messrs. M'Gowan, Evans, and Wignall, that the Bakers in Liverpool were wedded to the old system of heatin,g with chaff ers , instead of the fu r na ce s y s t em , and instanced the superiority of furnaces over chaffers. Now, to show those gentlemen the error they have fell into, it need only be stated, that the system of baking in London and Liverpool is very different. In London they only bake 4 lb. loaves, but in Liver pobl the Bakers are called upon to bake from 15 to 24 lb. each; it was all very well for the Health Committee to send a deputation to London at the, ratepayers expense, to lea rn h ow th e f urnaces worked, but they forgot to enquire the difference - in the size of the bread. I should like to know where there is a town which affords more accom modation to the working classes and housekeepers generally, than Liverpool ? If the harsh law now put in force, is continued, it will be the means of throwing many hundred families out of employ ment that are now honestly earning their bread by the sweat of their brow. Mr. Wood, in his evidence, admits the new system is not so good for his bread, which is generally small ; how much more, then, would it effect the large bread which the bakers of Liverpool are in the habit of baking. It may be quite true that Mr. Evans constructed so many thousand ovens 'in Paris, &c., &c., but he would find it very different to alter chaffer ovens into furnace ovens in Liverpool, where there is no con venience. And, if parties are compelled to do so, it will be more destructive, both to health and property, than the present system.—l am, sir, yours, &c. A PRACTICAL BAKER. Liverpool, February 21, 1859. TIIE ALLEGED ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—l have just read the report of a charge of assault, at the George's Dock-gates, in your police intelligence of to-day's NORTHERN Tams Being present at the time, allow me to state that no assault was committed on the policeman, but the reverse, and that the violence used towards Mr. Thompson was unprovoked, and most outrageous. Feeling it my duty, I, together with four other bystanders, went to the Police-court, to give evi dence, but the case had been disposed of. From what I could see, Mr. Thompson was not drunk, and had he not insisted on taking the officer's number, I have no doubt no charge would have been made. I may mention that the policeman greatly neglected his duty, in not having the chain drawn across the bridge whilst the river side of it was open. Trusting, for the sake of justice, you will give a place to this, I am, sir, &c., Pph 19, 1859 A BYSTANDER. THE ALLEGED ASSAULT ON THE POLICE. In reference to this case, we hare been requested to publish the following TO MR. THOMPSON. Sir,—l shall be happy to give you every assistance to bring No. 104 to justice, and further obtain the evidence of several of my friends who witnessed the assault made upon you. I am an entire stranger to you and your friends, but, considering the injustice done to you, it is my duty to lay what I know of the affair before you, the details of which I am prepared to swear to, when called upon. Between five-and-twenty minutes past ten and half-past ten, on Thursday evening, while standing at St. George's dock gates (which were open when . I got there), I saw police-officer No. 104 assault you as follows :—A small vessel entered the dock. When through, the gate was closed on the side on which I was ; the other remained open. When closed, I saw police-officer No. 104 standing on the opposite side, and end-to the chain at the end where the other portion of the bridge joins. Saw you come, on to the bridge, and stand about ten feet on the bridge, Saw several people also on the bride, and stood just on within one foot of where the chain hangs on the railing on the bridge myself, with my country friends, while the other portion of the bridge was coming to. Saw No. 104 turn round, and rush on to you, taking hold of your collar with both his hands„ and push you back with much force, and otherwise assaulting you by striking you on the chest. Heard you ask him for his number, and saw you take your pocket book out to put it down. Being a stranger, I did not interfere then. Heard No. 104 blow his whistle twice for assistance. When it came, saw him take you towards bridewell, having hold ofyour arm, the officer called by No. 104 to assist walking in the rear. I then followed and tendered my card. Should it be necessary I will obtain sworn certificates, from magistrates, from my friends, who have returned home, sooner than justice should be defeated. Respecting the chain being across, I will swear my hand was within one foot of the chain which was hanging on the bridge, No. 104 not having hold of any portion of the chain, nor near enough to do so at full length. I feel more desirous for you to investigate this case, owing to the language No. 104 used to me, which I shall withhold until called upon, when the witnesses I have, will, I am sure, alter the decision of Mr. Mansfield. There was gas at both sides of the bridge—moonlight, and rather windy. —I am, Sir, yours truly, ALFRED NIXON. 10, North John-st., Liverpool, 19th Feb., 1859. I, the undersigned, was with my brother at the time, and witnessed the whole of the affair, and corroborate the above statements. JAMES NIXON. We, the undersigned, have read the above, and subscribe to it. JOHN MACDERYIOTT, office, 6 George's Dock gates. URWICK COOK, 5, Batchelor-street. JAMES MARTINDALE, 77, Grove-street. MELANCHOLY DEATH FROM STRYCHNIA.—An interest ing young lad, Master Deehan, Banagher, came to his death under the following lamentable circumstances : Mrs. Deehan and her family have resided at Banagher since the death of her husband. Mr. H. Deehan, who is her eldest son, being about to leave home on a shooting excursion on the river Shannon, handed his purse with the key of his desk, on Saturday night last, about nine o'clock, to his younger brother, the deceased, with directions to place the money in the desk, and then to return the key. The poor boy did so, but when he had opened the desk he observed a few pills in a box in it, one of which he rashly swallowed, and returned the key, saying nothing about what he had done. During the night, about twelve o'clock, the boy took suddenly ill, shivering, and complaining of torturing spasms in the stomach and abdomen. Medical aid was called in, but to no purpose, and Master Deehan expired after much agony. A short time before death he mentioned his having taken one of the pills which he saw in his brother's desk, each of which pills it appeared contained three grains of strychnia, they having been p rocure d some t i me ago f or he purpose of poisoning animals.
