On Miss Constance Kent -being removed to Devizes Gaol, .she maintained a most dogged silence, not speaking throughout the whole jour ney,' or on her arrival at the county gaol. Her mother was for many years considered to be of weak intellect: her grandmother was decidedly of unsound mind. An uncle of the accused has been twice confined in a lunatic asylum. If Con stance Kent were found guilty, the question of hereditary insanity would be raised, as having prompted the perpetration of such a fearful crime. Mr. Kea married the present Mrs. Kent, the mother of the murdered child, sixteen monthi after the death of his first wife.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. -HOUSE OF LORDS.---YLsitatnAt. • In reply to the Marquis of Breadalbane, Earl DE Gary said that it was the inteUtian of her Mi.jesty to veview the volunteer corps of Scotland at Edinburgh, on the 7th of August. The Criminal Lunatic Asylum Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord STRATIIEDEN moved the second reading of the' News paper Bill, of which the object wits .to free proprietors from the ObsOlete and vexatious restrictions of the present law. :Lord CHELMSFORD obi , erved that the bill had passed the Commons without receiving the attention of member's, and that it would require considerable alteration. • After a legal discuslion, in which the Lord Chancellor sup 'ported the bill, and Earl Granville suggested that it should be read a second time and referred to a,Select Committee, Lord WYNNFORD moved that it be read a second time that day six months. • After some discussion, the House divided, when the motion for the second reading was negatived by 36 to 10. The Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention Bill, and the Oxford University (No. 2) Bill, were read a second time. Other bills were advanced a stage, and their lordships adjourned at eight o'clock. . . difficult of arrangement, especially when the weaker Power had a free Constitution and a free press. For the sake, there fore, of mate, they must beware hew they liVed fOr bearance. The dangers to which they . cerpOlied Would be three. The first of these Wodlcl be,tlle hope of a conqaest ; another the hope of otaining DoaSesdion of the metropolis , and then lerYing hitge centribtitions - and dictating an Ignoetimous peace; the list, and the Most Probable, was by a sudden move- Meat to seize Our Arsenals, the cradle of our Power., The drat was a hope Whichoodld never be seriously entertained; theiteond was an operation of great aitileditY, involving the held'ng of a , place so large . aid Dotal lode. as London; the third was far the most ' PiactiCable. Our dockyards might be seized; and all our naval elements destroyed .at a blow. He debated on the various causes which made the country dependent, not only for its power, but for its existence on our fleet. Let them re iliac the ruin to the industry and wealth of the country, if our ports were once in the power of a foreign force. He argued that the fortifications of the coast would be . the beat defences in London, es then large toree souifl be set free for operation id the field. the great corn . - Mercial towns Were in the a ante position. They must depend for defences upon the land ferces. Further, no inv,iding force Would waste itself in occupying such places. Such places were at present protected from sudden attacks _by batteries and outworks. He therefore considered the plan of the commis sioners-the only one safe and efficient. The one proposed by the commissioners was no doubt a large one ; but other countries , had spent more for the same purposes. Some of the plans of the commissioners might fall under the estimates of the teparate years. He, therefore, - considered that 139,000,000 *mild te sufficient for the direct defence s o f the country. 'Of this sum between £1,000,000 and k 2,666,660 would go to the purchase of land. lioireyo, the works would not cost much above £7,066,60. Now France had spent £5,000,00 1 on the fortifica tions at Paris, and £8,000,000 at Cherbourg. The Netherlands had spent on their frontier fortresses £6,500,000; Germany spent £3,000,000 on their:fortresses, and was about to spend £3,000,000 more, Russia had expended £7,200,000, with what effect the late war had shown, and she was now expending further sums. In the face of all this, it would be criminal for the people of this country to neglect their defences, which would, if completed— as he hoped they would be in a short tinie--epla ce the country in a position of comparative safety. He had that confi dence in the nation that it woul4 meet, with courage and sitecvs, any danger. But any. Government which slithild neglect . to provide- them with the proper means of 'defence would be guilty of a high crime, and misdemeanour, and would deserve nothing shoit of impeach ment. The resolution he should prdpdse was to the effect that it was the opinion of the committee that it was bound to provide for the Construction - of works and defences in the royal doctiata arsenal, and the ports of Dover and Holyhead, and for the erection of a central arsenal, a sum not exc.tesling A 2,000,000 to be charged on the Consolidated !lid& and that the Commissioners of the Treasury ttQa be authorised to raise such sum on terminable adiinities, not exceeding a Period of thirty years, 'to he charged on the coneolidated , ..fund. He would fibt ask the House to vote all the nine millions at one. thn Completion of the work must be spread over three or four years, and the suns he had named would be as much as they would expend in the year. He reserved to filnUelf and his successor the power of applying th the House annually for a similar sum. The aceodfit of the money would be kept sepa rately, and anntillY submitted to Parliament; and he proposed to bring id ail Appropriatibn Bill for this purpose. Ha con tinted by declaring his belief that these proposals would be sufficient on the one hand, and on the other hand would involve ae small an outlay as was posshle to meet the great object in view. ' Mr. HUBBARD objected to the proposal of raising the money by terminable annuities, which stunk. In the nostrils of every capitalist in Europe, and which would involve a great sacrifice. Mr. Butour said that in his Parliamentary experiente he had never known a proposal of so Much importance as that which they were asked to decide do the same evening when it was propounded the eiperiSe' if War began would reach £2,4,000,00 before It was hnished. — He protested against the indecent haste with which they were called upon to vote these resolutions. He moved that the Chairman report progress, declaring his intention to divide the ,Houso more than once before the resolutions passed. Mr. S. Hziteear admitted that some explanation was due, and entered into details as to the plans they first proposed to carry oat at Portsmouth, Gosport, Spithead, and the Isle of Wight, finishing in the present year the works at the former place. Works would likewise at once be undertaken for the defenoe of the Thanies and Medway. The harbotir df Cork would likewise it once be placed in a state of defence. The works they should comthence This year would cost abOut £5,000,000 to coMplete. Upon the general question, he con tended Asat in the defences of these outport i s lay the real actence of London. Slt It. PEzi. declared his intention to support any proposition for the defence of the country, and begged. private and blest ponsible . members to forego their own opinion in faVoir of the opinions of responsible and professional men, who had stu diously examined the subjee4 He could see no reason for the postponement of the vote. Mr. Ossoays said that the speech of the noble lord opened such neat and alarming considerations, whichrendered irnpos- Bible friendly relations with France, that it would•not be right to legiilate under what he must call the pressure of a sudden panic, he trusted that they were not to be forced into a vote till they had a little time to look into the matter. They would forego the respect of the world if they rushed by an impetuous vote into measures of which none could foresee the issue. The Budget had been produced after the report of thetomMissioners had been in possession of the Government, and yet they were now called upon without consideration to pais a vote vitally affecting the finance of the country. • Lord PaLmEnsrox protested against the allegation that the House was called upon to act in a panic. and that our friendly relatlOns with Prance were imperriled. Still believing that the More the• house thought of the proposal the more it. would like it ; he would consent- to the adjournment of the debate to that day week. • Mr. NEWDEGATE applauded the Government for acting upon the recommendation of the commissioners. Mr. DISRAELI expressed his doubts as to the wisdom of the way in which it was proposed to raise the money. Sir Gi C. Lewis defended the plan of raising the money - by terminable annuities. The house by adopting this plan at pre sent did not commit itself asto the future. Various questions relating, to the details of the proposed scheme of fortification wore asked and answered. The Chairman was then ordered to report progress, and the house resumed. On t4U motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. A. D. SEYMOUR moved as an amendment that, in the opinion of this House, the stats of the ecclesiastical law in England and Ireland, and of the courts in which it is ad miniatcred, nrid tne act commonly cation cue utcrgy Discipline Act, require to be amended and reformed, and that it is incumbent on the Government to direct measures to be prepared for that purpose. The amendment was seconded by Lord Fermoy. fir G. Gully observed that the question was brought forward in a most impertant manner as an amendment upon the motion for supply, which had already been delayed to a very late period of the session. He refused to pledge the government as to what they should do in that or any other subject next year. After some further disaussion the amendment was negatived without a division. The House then went into Committee of Supply, and passed several votes belonging to the miscellaneous Civil Service Estimates amidst a desultory discussion. The House resumed, and, having disposed of the remaining business on the paper, adjourned at a quarter past three.

CHARGE OF MVRDER BY POISON IN VAUXHALL-ROAD. Thomas Winslow, who stand's chi:tied with the murder of Anne James, by poison,. in Vatlihall-road, was brought before, Mr. Raffles, at., the Police-court, yesterday, on i6milnd: Mr. lisphiall appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cobb for the prisoner: , Mr. Aspinall, addressing the magistrate, said, I have again to ask for a remand of the prisoner for seven dayti, and I do so on the statement contained in this letter, which I will hand up to you.. Mr. Cobb has seen it, but I will not read it now, as I do not think it desirable at present to have the contents made public. I under stand that Mr. Cobb has been insiftietecl by the friends of the prisoner, to oppose, the application for a remand, and if he does so, it will' be 'of more injustice •to the • prisoner than otherwise, for we are anxious that the prisoner should be fully aware of the extent of the depositions and the charge preferred against him. If the remand was refused, the prisoner could be sent for trial on the Cordner's depositions, which were.very imperfect; and it is our wish, for the ends of justice, to give the prisoner is mdch information as Possible of the charge against him. Under any circum stance he must remain is gaol until the assizes, and it would be an injustice to him and to the public to send bim before a jury, without all parties being properly prepared. Mr. Cobb said he was instructed by the prisoner to oppose the application. The assizes here would com mence on the Bth of August, and it would be a great hardship to the prisoner, if he were innocent, to be kept over till the -December assizes. If the prosecution went oh asking for a remand front Week to week, it would be impossible for hint to be ready to meet the charge at the August assizes; and then the prisoner must stand over -to December, and that was the hardship he -com plained of. Mr. Raffies---:-In a case of Such importance as this, I am justified in granting a remand, and I hope you will be ready before the assizes. Cobb—if Mr. Aspinall will say, that he will be ready to proceed on the next day of hearing, I will not object. Mr. Aspinall—l will not pledge myself to anything Id way. Mr. Cobb—The prisoner is quite ready now, to meet any cliaige.that may be preferred against him. It will be a great injustice to keep him any longer. They may go on this way, from week to week, and then send the prisoner to the assizes, on the Coroner's inquisition, and then bring whatever supplemental- evidence they may collect, so that I may know nothing about that, and therefore cannot meet it then. Mr. Rallies—All I can say, is that, I will remand the prisoner for seven days. The prisoner was then removed, and a crowd of people who had come into court to see hint rctiiea. the prisoner looked quite cool and col leCied, hut seemed very anxious, and looked at the people with apparent interest. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YE6TERDAY, , Lord FERMOT gave notice that on the motion for going into committee on the Spirit Duties Bill he should move that it be an instruction to the committee to insert a clause repealing the excise duty on paper. Sir J. Fence:son. having'enquired if the 'statements in the Trench newspapers were true, to the effect that .French troops were about to interfere in Syria by•forc:e of arms; whether her Majesty's government had given their consent to any proceed- • ings; whether the action was to extend beyond the coast; • whether the consent of the 'Porte had been obtained ; and whether any intelligence had been received of. a pacification haring been concluded between the contending Powers, Lord J. Reessr.m. replied that instructions had been already sent to Admiral Martin to proceed to Syria, and, if necessary, to land marines, for the purpose of checking the massacre. •Since that time more distressing tews had been received from Syria. -The Turkish authorities had behaved in a most shame ful manner.. and; the Pasha of Damascus had betrayed a large number of Cliristians into the.hands of the Druses. There was every reason to - believe that unless some i n te r f erence t oo k place the massacre s would probably continue. - It was- the general improssiOn among the Europeans on the coast that the Turksliad not done an th,y could to stay the. massacres. . The event; at pamascus had _succeeded; and in consegnence the T roic h.aMbassador had called en him, declaring his belief that Peace Would not be. secured until-a' foreign forne was tient . to sytia. He had replied that the -Porte had already sent trOws - there. The ambal&saiior 'answered that no.depend .. *nee .eould be Placed on that report !to further. eniuired if any. objection would . be made to the intervention . of 'French troops. He took some time to consider the'proPoSition ; and, after consulting with the Cabinet,- returned for • answer that the British government had no objection to offer but that he hoped the Porte would be a party' to any arrange ment. • The other Powers had then been consulted, and had given their consent, but that of the Porte hadnot been obtained as yet. No convention had been signed, and nd nothing decided troops As French Ds r eceived as to, the stay or the mode of operation o As to the pacification, a short telegram was from Co ; stantinople; •in which it was stated that on the 10th instant peace had been signed between the Maron ites and the Druse but of the report her. Majesty's Governm ent had no confirma- tion. stated that it was not his intention to proceed Sir C. Wool, with the bill of which he had given notic e, respecting the ci e vil service and High Courts of Yudicature in India . The House then went into committee upon fortifications and works. Lord PALIttittSTON said that the course he should pursue iiPon - this subject would probably take the house by surprise. He traced the progress of feeling after the glorious termination of the long continental wars, reminding the House that we had maintained oar naval efficiency so long as maritime warfare was carried on by sailing ships. The introduction of steam, however, totally changed the state of affairs. They altered at once tee character of naval warfare and our position, by naturally facilitating foreign aggression. The English. 'Channel had, in fact, been bridged over. It was under the consciousness of this contingency that the Duke of Wellington published his famous letters, wherein he pointed outthe defenceless state of our coasts. So slow are nations to entertain new ideas that the appeal fell on dead sirs. Subsequent Governments, especially the late Government ( Lord Derby's), had, however, awakened to a sense of danger, and taken active steps towards supplying the defective state of our national establishment, and latterly very great pro gress had been snide towards this important end. A commission of enquiry had been appointed, and their report was now lying on the table of the House, Their recommendations involved an outlay of £11,000,000. He held that it was essential to the safety of the country that the recommendations should.be substantially attended to. This object they might obtain in two ways,—either by carrying on needful fortifications by slow degrees, out of the annu a esti mates of the year, and in completing them in eighteen or twen ty years; or, they might complete them in. two or three years, by raising money by annuities, terminable in thirty Tears. This last was the course he should recommend to the House. If the fortifications were wanted at all, they were wanted at once. He justified the mode of proceeding, by qUoting the conduct of Parliament with regard to private estates, whose proprietors were encouraged to borrow money for their improvement. The expense would not be much greater by these means , than by taking many, years for the completion of the works. The horizon was full of clouds which betokened a tempest. and it was impossible to say when it might burst. He alluded (he hoped without offence) to our powerful neighbours across the channel, to whom our coasts 'were peculiarly accessible, and presented so many vulnerable points. France had au army of about 600,000 men, an army far greater than was wanted for purposes of defence. He would not say that the army was raised far purposes of aggression. The power to aggress often gave the wish, and we could never be safe by mere dependence upon the forbearance of a iival. Then again, there was aa enormous development of the French navy, a force which certainly could never be required for her defences. No one could answer for a day that an unpleasant question might not arise ; and if one was greatly the weaker, and one the stronger rower, those qtf4StiOns would be very MARKETS COMMITTEE. . , The weekly meeting of this committee was held yes terday in the council chamber, the chair being occupied by Mr. Ridley. The other members present. were Messrs. Holden, Kitchen, Shimmin, Nickson, Johnson, Houghton, Barton, and Haydock. The market superintendent reported that the quantity of unwholesome meat seized during the preceding week, was in the northern district 1,437 lbs. ; in the central, 598 lbs. ; and in the town, 2,180 lbs..of fish had been seized. The receipts from the various markets since the commencement of the year, to the end of last week, were £12,874 lis. Bd., against £12,007 lls. 10. during the same period of 1859. • Mr. Nrcxsos asked how the increase was accounted for. Mr. KITCHEN remarked that last yea"- there were the deficiencies of Mr. Lnya. There were no sach.defici encies this year. The CHAIRMAN said that no doubt that added to it, and besides, this was the best season of the year. Mr..litcxsort---May I ask Whether parties who origi nally stood outside, still remain in St. John's•market, and whether they pay more ? The SUPERINTENDENT It does not add to the receipts. Mr. SundariN—Are we to understand that parties who had places is the street, are permitted to occupy stalls in the market without paying any more toll ? The SUPERINTENDENT--go sir, they pay no more ; they were pdt into the street for convenience, and would be very glad if allowed to remain. The C RAIRM XN—Thero is no other way of accounting for the increase than by believing that we are all honest people, doing our best, - and getting all we ought to do. (g ear , hear). We are going correctly through the rents of St. John's Market, and by this day week we shall 'probably be in a position to lay our report before you. Some of us are of opinion that stalls, and standings, and shops, are not fairly let. (Hear, hear). I think this day week the report will be ready. Mr. SuimmiN—May I ask who is doing that? The CHAIRMXN—It is not necessary to inform you. If you ask the que6tlon of fho sub-uommittee you may learn. Mr. SHIMMIN—As a member of the Markets Com mittee, I think I ought to know. Mr. HOLDEN—If you were a little more punctual in your attendance at the sub-committee you Mr. SHIMMIN-1 am very punctual; as punctual as any member of the committee. The next business was the following motion, of which Mr. Shimmin gave notice :—"That unless the proceed ings of this committee be more fairly and impartially reported by the representatives of the Daily Times and Courier, that they be refused admittance to the meetings of this committee." Mr. SHIMMIN said —ln rising to address the committee on the subject of which I have given notice on Monday last, I wish to state, at the onset, that it was not my intention at all to cast any impu tation upon the accuracy of the reports made in this room, for those who are acquainted with the reports generally made by the reporters of Liverpool _well know that it is proverbial that the reports•gene rally made are accurate, and I have had myself occasion to approie several times when verbatim reports were required. I have read those reports carefully, and have not found a single omission in any of the speaker's remarks. So much for the reporters. But I often find that these reports, written by those gentlemen, are cut and carved and mutilated in the printing parlour, and so much given to the public as the editor may think necessary, and that which is of most vital import ance to the public withheld. This is what I had to complain of at the last meeting ; and I find, sir, that in many cases we have overlooked a great number of persons who are really the parties we ought to see to in reference to the keeping open of the markets. There are four classes that have not been received at all, and if you like I will name them. Mr. HOLDEN—That is not the matter. The CIIIIRMAN--That has nothing to do with your motion. Mr. HOLDEN—It is the press you have to allude to. The CHAIRMAN —Just speak to your notice. Mr. SHIMMIN—WeII, sir, I was speaking about the accuracy of the reports. I had named at two former meetings that the cause of the increase was attributable, not to the change from eleven to ten, but entirely to other causes. I brought facts and figures to prove it, but it, as well as my denial, was suppressed, and hence I have cause to complain that the public were not put in possession of the full facts con nected with this case. The people are driven out of the markets on Saturday night like sheep, at ten o'clock. Even on Saturday night, when asked the price of beef, there was beef to be sold at 51d. to 6d. per pound, while the poor people were driven to purchase vv pet Cent. nigner. I think that a great hardship ; and while I bow to no man in my reverence and observance of the Sabbath—which I have been taught from my infancy—to the best of my ability, and therefore I cannot be at all accused of being a trespasser upon the Sabbath day—but, I find that gentlemen in high places and in authority actually wink at the sale of 'fish on the Sabbath day, and its being hawked about the streets, while dressing to go to church. The CHAIRMAN —That is not the matter. They do that in London, and it has nothing to do with your motion. Mr. Slummy—The public have not had the facts placed before them with reference to the closing of the markets et eleven instead of ten. The CHAIRMAN—That has nothing to do with your notice, and I must object to it. You brought a charge against the press through the reporters and those who re-reported the proceedings. Mr. SHIMMIN—I don't make a charge against the reporters. I believe their reports were accurate, but, what I say is that what appeared in the papers was not a faithful report of the proceedings—that is, the whole of the facts of the case were suppressed. The CHAIRMAN_Have you any proposition. Mr. Surnmix—lf I am interrupted in this manner — The C HAIRMAN—You are not interrupted as far as regards your motion. Have you any motion to make ? Mr. SHlMMlN—Believing that I bring this matter before this meeting under the notice of the several editors of the several papers that this will not occur again, I withdraw my motion. Mr. HOLDEN —Do you think it. necessary to have an explanation from the gentlemen of the press present? (Laughter.) Mr. NICKSON—AIIow me to make one observation. Mr. Shimmiq states that the facts of the case were suppressed. The CHAIRMAN—You are too late ; we cannot go into this ; the motion is withdrawn. The committee then broke up. The Toulosais says that o n th e occasion of the v i s i t of the Emperor anclEmpress to Toulon, their Majesties will be entertained with an artificial volcanic eruption, and that an immense mass of useless rockets, Sm., lying in the arsenal—the accumulation of half a centu r y_. N yill be burnt up to lend reality to the scene. THE DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JULY 24, 1860. DEATH IN THE WEST DERBY WORK HOUSE UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUM STANCES. CORONER'S INQUEST. . For Some. two or three days palt several rumours have been aflOit respecting the death of a lunatic in the West Herby 'Workhouse, Mit wt ieftaitted from noticing it until an enquiry, which we knew was pend ing, would commence. `This course, we think, was the fairest towards all parties, as the rumours were so con lictiag. Yesterday, the coroner held an inquest touch ing the death of Mary Anne O'Donnell, the deceased person alluded to, when the following evidence was given. Mr. Aspinall, instructed by Mr. Thornley, appeared to watch the case on behalt of Mr. Shaw and Mr. Smith, and Mr. Snowball attended on the part of Mr. Gough, the governor of the Workhouse. The following persons were examined : Eliza Purcell, the task mistress of the workhouse, said, Mr. Edward Gough is the master of the house ; the deceased's name was Mary Anne O'Donnell, who was an inmate, and about Friday week she was removed to the lunatic ward; the name of the surgeon is Dr. Nevins. I was constantly hi the habit of seeing the deceased, she was violent at times, but had every atten tion paid to her by the governor and the surgeon. Last Tuesday night the deceased had some severe fits. Mr. Lupton, a student of Dr. Nevin's, was called. On Thursday morning she had a violent fit, and I called up the governor, and he came immediately. There was a inaiie named Elizabeth Wilkinson in the same ward, who had made her escape to the passage leading to the cellars, and she was brought back by the governor into the room where deceased was ; the deceased then became more violent, and got oat of bed, and made for one of he windows with a shoe ; Sarah Party, Jane Kelshaw, Joseph Jones, the engineer, end the master tillor were there. He tried to get her to lied ; the grivenior then [eft the room, and went to the surgery with Jane shaw, and in a few minutes came back alone. He had a bottle with chloroform, and some lint in his hand, btit I did not see him apply it. He rolled the lint np, with some chloroform on it. He made the alteration in the lint when going towards the bed. My attvntion was &awn to the other patient and I did not see hitn apply it. In eight or ten minutes after there *as a change, and I heard the tailor say she was gone. The governor then put his ear to try if her heart was beating, and sent for the doctor instantly by the tailor, and Dr. Wilson was n immediate attendance. I never knew the governor to administer chloroform to deceased before, nor to any other patient. I have known chloroform to have been administered to deceased before by two students, and thitt was when she was very violent. Once I believe it bad a good effect, as she was very tranquil afterwards. To Mr. Aspinall—There is a regular lunatic ward, and there were only taco patimits there. hne Tf elshaw, an inmate, is appointed as a nurse there, but I don't know if she' has any experience in lunatics. The Medical pupils come twice a day to see them, .and _ . Dr. Nevins or Dr. Wilson calls once a day. I called Mr. Gough, and he got up at once. I can't tell how long Mary O'Donnell was there ; I know her three months, and she was in the sick ward, and was then taken to the lunatic ward ; she was there about a week and was very violent. She was in the scullery before and got sore hands, and she was there until she went into the ward. Dr. Nevins first saw her in the lunatic ward. I don't know how she became lunatic first. She got outrageous one night and Mr. Goiigh was called up. I don't think Mrs. Wilkinson was right when she was brought in. Don't know if it was arranged to send Mary O 'Donnell to Rainhill ; thinks there are proper places for lunatics in the house; when they get violent, we use straps, when, sometimes, two or three men have to be called in. I was in Rainhill for three months as an officer, and lunatics are treated the same at West Derby. Never saw chloroform used A Raiahill ; I would have put gloves on her and strapped her down to the bed. The surgery is always open, with the key in the outside door. Never saw chloroform administered, nor did I see it done this time, but I know it by the srdell. I saw it given to doiei t s, but not to lunatics. Mr. Gough said, as she was making such a noise, perhaps this would quiet her, or something to that effect. A man had it a week before and it quieted him, and he was well next day.—To Mr. Snow ball : It might be about three o'clock in the morning, and she was very violent, and I felt Manned, and went for ha. Gough to redder assistance, which I was sure he would. When I called him he came at once. He always attends to his duty. I know he is there many years and has great experience amongst all classes of sick ; lam certain he did the very best, and lam sure he behaved as kindly as man could to that woman. Jane Kelshaw examined, said—l am - married, but live separate from my husband. I am an inmate 'of the _Workhouse, and act as nurse in the reception ward ; I was acquainted with the deceased; she was quite well in April, when brought into the Workhouse ; she soon after complained of being ill, and NOad Bladed in the invalid ward. She Aras placed under My card a week last Friday ; she was quite out of her mind then ; I had charge of the lunatic ward; Dr. Nevins and two of his pupils saw her sometimes twice a day. On last Tues day ni G LA ahe wa very ban; Wilkinson belonged to the same ward, and made her escape about-half-past three o'clock in the morning; the last witness was in the room with several other persons, and the governor was called up, and he came immediately. The deceased was very violent—quite outrageous. The governor asked me if I had any lint in the place, and I said I had not. Ho went to the surgery and I followed him, and he took a bottle, but I don't know what was in it. He gave me some lint to carry, and went to where the deceased was. I did not see him do anything with the bottle, but gave him a scissors to cut the lint; but did not see him put anything out of the bottle on the lint. I left the room to attend to other patieuts. About ten minutes after I heard that she was dead, I went and saw her. The doctor was sent for. I never saw chlo roform given her. The governor is very kind to all the patients in the house.—To Mr. Aspinall, the witness said deceased was very violent. She wanted to break the windows, and got out of bed ; when I came in, there were four or five holding her. Never saw chloroform given her; I don't know if any one saw it given to her. _ _ There were four female lunatics ; and the reason they were not sent to Rainhill was, there was no room for hem ; they have been sent since. Sarah Parry said—l. am an inmate of the West Derby Workhouses, and am an assistant in the lunatic ward. This witness stated that deceased was m uc h better after some chloroform given to her by rine of Dr. Nevins' pupils ; but she was not sure if the governor was present at that time. She saw the governor apply the chloroform to the nose of deceased whilst witness was holding her ; deceased knocked it away from her nose ; the lint was put to her nose a second time. Thinks it was held to her nose about one minute by the governor, and she then appeared insensible. In' about ten minutes she appeared dead, and I heard some one say "She is gone ;" • and he said " Is it possible ?" and he sent for the doctor at once.—To Ispinall : It is not common for the governor to administer it. The first time, it was administered by Dr. Nevin's assistant, who is about twenty-two ye ars o f age. There was another pupil there named Bradley, and they assisted each other. 'They applied it to the nose. She was very violent before that. Mr.. Gough administered it the same as the medical student did. I was obliged to turn away from it. Did not tell Dr. Wilson she got the chloroform. She was not quite dead when he came. Did not hear any one tell him what she had had.—To Mr. Snowball : I have seen people very violent in fever. I had not the least idea she was dead; nor did I think anything wrong was done. Francis Ironomous, examined—l am a tailor, and was in the ward where deceased was, between three and four on Thursday morning. I was called up to assist, as the two lunatics were in a very violent state. Assisted to hroil . „ the lint in the governor's hand, but not the bottle. Saw him put the lint to the face of deceased, who struggled violently. The lint was held to her about forty seconds, and she became calmer. Told the governor he thought the woman was dead ; and he sent witness for the doctor at once, and he brought Dr. Wilson in twenty minutes after. Mr. Gough told the doctor, in witness's presence, that chloroform had been administered.—To Mr. Aspinall : He was down stairs when he told the doctor. Lam not aware of the effects of it. Did not tell the doctor she was dean, nor that chloroform was given to her. Joseph Jones, the engineer in the workhouse, was examined, and gave similar evidence generally as the witnesses who were examined before him. Mr. John Henry Wilson, surgeon, said—l reside near the West Derby Workhouse, and was called on Thurs day morning last to see a patient there. I saw Mr. Gough, and he told me the woman was very much excited, and he had given her chloroform ; he did not know if she were dead ; I found her dead. I gave a certificate of her death, and arrived at the conclusion of the cause of death, as he told me he had only given her a whiff, and there no smell at all of it off her, as I put my head down to her, but got no smell. I have giien it many times, but not in cases of mania ; I did in one case of delirium trenuts.—To Mr.,Aspinall: I gave it myself; never authorised a non-medical person to give it in my absence. It is a matter requiring considerable discretion and judgment ; I do not often use it. I think I would not use it in a state of debility of a patient, nor would I give authority to a non-professional to give it. I think the majority of the profession do not examine the organs of the patient before giving it, but I, think I should do so myself. My impression was that chloroform had nothing to do with the death. I was present at the post ntortens and have qualified my opinion, and 1 think it probable that chloroform had something to do with her death—and I believe her death W 313 caused by ex treme exhaustion ; it is probable tha£ the chloroform may have hastened death ; but, at the sams time, the appearances are not altogether inconsistens with those of exhaustion. I do not think a person hi exhaustion tit to be placed under the influence of chloroform. The opinions on this subject are various, and I only give my own. The witness was examined by Mr. Aspintli, as to the scientific bearing of the case, and said he knew • the deceasedhad derived benefit from chloroform ; and he was not prepared to say that he wonii,npt have given her some. It did riot matter the, quantity, applied. it was the quantity inhaled that had the ,eitect. He, in reply to further questions, said he still had a doubt that chloroform caused death. He was examined about maniacal exhaustion; and then Mr. Snowball examined the witness about maniacal excitement, and he said he was quite Piepited for the death of the woman. He never knew chloroform to be giten In maniacal exhaus tion, but did in maniacal excitement with benefit. Dr. Nevins was then examined, and stated—l am medical officer of the Workhouse, and saw deceased three weeks after her admission, when she was labouring under acute disease of the hands. She was a maniac ten days before her death. She became so bad that she was sent 14 the ittaatio ward, and saw her often there. Desired chloroform to be i.dthiflistered to her by my pupil, Mr. Lupton, and also Mr. Gough, the goN:ernor. I gave him directions, if she became violently excited, to give it to her, and then send for me ; it *as the only thing that relieved her, and she was much better after it. She was so violent that it took several persons to hold her. 'I was present at the post-mortem examination, and I believe nothing could have prevented her death but I think the chloroform hastened her death. I expected every day to hear Of hei death. It may have hastened her death an hour or two. Chlorol'th ()tight to be entrusted to safe hands, and Mr. Gough assisted me in its administration for the last seven years, and I think him perfectly competent in this case to administer it.—To Mr. Aspinall . I think the case was a proper one, and I think Mr. Gough was perfectly competent to decide, and I would trust myself to Mr. Gough's hands most unhesitatingly. I think the administror of it should not await the arrival of the doctor. Nothing but chloroform could have saved her.—To Mr. Snowball : The witness said he belieVed the chloroform had extended her life for gthril days. Ife gate Mr. Cioligh the highest character, and-said he was a most vaiiiable assistant td Mr. Snowball—Then if there is to be a berdiet of manslaughter, it ought to be against the gitardians. Mr. Aspinall—From what I kridw of them it would be Well if they were hanged. (Laughter.) There is only accommodation for one lunatic. _ - Mr. Snowball—Oh, then the gdardians are riot accom modated there. (Great latighter.) Surgeon Ayrton, who made a pelt morteni examina tion of the body, stated that on opening the skull there was congestion of the brain ; the heart was flabby and soft, and the left side empty of blood ; the right side contained blood, but was not gorged; the lungs were gorged. The immediate cause of death was congestion of the lungs, which I believe was not the result of natural causes ; it might arise front a narcotic, strangu lation, or drowning—as the same appearances are observable in impeded respiration—but .there were no appettrances of strangulation or drowning. I heard the evidence given to-say, slid the conclusion I come to is that death was caused by chloroform. I could riot gay that death would have taken place in an hour or two if it had not been administered.—To Mr. Snow ball : If I had not heard of chloroform, I should have suspected a narcotic. Many persons died of congested lungs, but there would be evidence of the disease. There is only one way that people die—for want of breath. (Laughter.) Mr. Aspinall then said the persons whom ho repre sented were only desirous of coming at the truth. He did not attribute anything to Mr. Gough, except over ieal. He deprecated some of the proceedings at the West Derby Worihotise, and said lie hoped the dis graceful scenes, for the future, would in put a stop td. He then went over the case, and contended that Mr. Gough should not have been allowed to administer the chloroform; and he lacerated the guardians fearfully for not having proper provision made for lunatici; and their weekly indecencies. Mr. Snowball then addressed the jury on the part of Mr. Gough, and went over the case in detail, and said there should be a medical man resident on the premises. The Coroner then, in his usual lucid manner, summed up the evidence, and said there should be a resident surgeon at the house. The jury then, after a deliberation of a fe* secotids, said their verdict was, that death was the cause of mis adventure, without any blame whatever to Mr. Gough, and they would recommend a resident medical officer for the house. The Coroner said Mr. Gough left the ceurt without te slightest imputation on his character. Mr. Gough was warrigy dongratulated by numerous friends who attended to hear the cask The investigation lasted till nearly seven o'clock. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) ASSAULTS. Charles Griffiths, a porter, was charged by Peter Murphy, a carter, with having broken his nose. The complainant went Intl) a public-house on Sunday night, where the prisoner was pitting. and he at ones Made an attack on him.

The prisdner tkds fined £2 and uwtN, or one muniire imprisonment. John Jones, a sailor, was charged by Police-officer 141, who said, on Sunday night, I was in Oldhall-street, when the prisoner rushed at me and knocked me down. I got up and grappled with him, when we went down again, and then he kicked me in the knee and cut it. The prisoner was drunk, and I never saw him before. The prisoner was fined £2 and costs, or a month's imprisonment. CHARGE UNDER THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT. John Lee, a boarding-house keeper, at 42, Jordan-street, was summoned under the 148th section of the Merchant Ship ping Act, with having obtained ids. {atm a black sailor, named Saunders, for haring procured a ship for hini end another black sailor, named Brown. The defendant is not a licensed person, and therefore was liable to a penalty of £5. Mr. Tyndall appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cobb for the defendant. Saunders was called, and said he lodged at the defendant's house, and wanted a ship, and the latter took him to a house kept by a man named Clarke, and he was shipped by him, and in the evening he gave the defendant 10s. for having shipped bin' and Brown, the defendant saying he wanted to pay Clarke. Mr. Cobb endeavolired to show, by his cross-examination, that the money was gii'sn to defendant for all the kindness show:; to him and Brown by the defendant, but the witness denied that. Brown was called and have similar evidence. Mr. Raffles asked what was the legal fee ? Mr. Murphy, of the Local Marine Board, said the legal fee at the Sailors' Home was a shilling for shipping and a shilling for discharging, and the captains paid that when giving notice. The defendant had no right to :my fee, as he was not a licensed person. Mr. Cobh contended that the money was given for kindness shown the parties by Mr. Lee. His Worship was of opinion that the case was proved, and fined the defendant £2 and costs, the latter being Li 14s. (Before Messrs. R. GLADSTONE and itostNflY.) ASSAULT BY A BROKER. Mr. Henry H. Goulding, corn broker, Corn Esc/Janne-build ings, Brunswick-street, was summoned by Mr. William Gcdby, general dealer, of 2, Cunliff-street, for having assaulted him. Mr. Bluck appeared for the prosecution ; and from his state ment and the evidence it appeared that on the 17th instant the complainant purchased some goods at an auction, the defend ant being the auctioneer. Some time after the complainant went to defendant's office to pay for the goods, and got :in order for them, when Mr. Goulding told him the goods were in a certain room : but defendant, on looking there, alleged that the property was not there, and an altercation followed, when the alleged assault was committed be- defendant, who struck complainant in the face, and made his mouth bleed. Police-officer 65 said he saw the defendant's mouth bleeding. The defendant said there had been some mistake about a mark on some parcel of the goods, and he told the complainant that when it was rectified he would make all right. The defendant the' used bad language, and accused him of trickery, and be can't most insolent. He told hint to leave his office ; but as he continued to be insolent, he went round to put him out, and then the defendant catight him by the throat, and nearly choled him. He admitted that he did pvlt him out, but used no mare violence than necessary. H e calle d a gentleman naned Walker, who said he heard the complainant accuse Mr. Golding of trickery and unfairness, and that he could not pay tweity shillings in the pound. A lad in Mr. Goulding's office said there wen ne more violence used than was necessary to putout complainant. Mr. Gladstone said there appeared to have been great provocation given to Mr. Goulding, but no douot there were faults on both sides. They were of opinion tha. an assault had been Committed, but of a mitigated descrip tion,and they would only fine Mr. Goulding 55. and costs. ASSAULT ON AN OLD LADY. Anold lady, named Mary Anne Reed, who lives at 8, Cran for hiving committed a violent and indecent assault on her. Mr. Cobb appeared for the complainant, and from his state meat, and the evidence of the old lady, it appeared that defen dad was employed by Mrs. Reed's eon to do some work in his stinks. On the night of the 7th she went into the stable, whn she found the prisoner; and she then detailed the asset he committed on her. A witness was produced, who sal he heard the lady accuse the defendant of having asallted her, and then he ran away. Two witnesses were pridiced for the defence, but their evidence did not alter the cafe The old lady said she complained to a man and a woman w h o , er e passing at the time, and who heard her crying out. The nagistrates adjourned the further hearing of the case, in orde that these persons might be found, if possible, to give evidace. Metter from Gotha states that it was decided two davAmck, at the Duke of Saxe Coburg's, to send an expiition to Africa, to ascertain with certainty the fate of B. Vogel, the traveller. Baron Steuglin of Wur ten?.rg, will undertake the voyar. ATFUL DEATH BY LIGHTNING AT LEEDS.—A heavy store of thunder and lightning passed over Leeds on Thttelay afternoon. William Neptune, of Bedford row,Hunslet, a man thirty-five years of age, and empyed in the locomotive works of the Messrs. Kitts, Airedale Foundry , Hunslet, was killed by a partularly vivid flash, which was noticed all over the borcgh of Leeds a few minutes after five o'clock. He was'ngaged in picking away at some rubbish with a plate, when the electric fluid struck him, and killed himon the spot. When his companions went up to his ody his clothing was being consumed by fire, the flans generated by the subtle current. His clothes haebeen cut away as clearly as with a knife from the froipart of his body; his whiskers were singed off his ches, and the hair from his breast, and his eyes were statg vacantly, whilst his mouth was widely open. No dismuration of the body had taken place. The cart, whi was being laden with rubbish, stood immediately uneneath the bank on which Neptune was killed, and leang against the shaft was another workman named Jot Hardy. He, too, was struck by the lightning, butM a milder degree. The current temporarily parysed his right arm, and ran down his right side, butic 'is now recovering. The horse was so alarmed by ie flash, and probably by the shock, that it started offt a gallop, but was overtaken and secured before it haotraversed many yards. Neptune bad been nine years i n ie elill*y of the firm, and had risen by merit. MUTINY AND# ATTENIPTtII MURDER IN CHANNEL: , most daing act of mutiny on board the schooner Flown, Captain titlselon, of Bideford, the robbery and atteinrcd murder of the master, and the es c ape of the crew, who mad e the attack, was made known at Bide= ford on Saturday. The schootier ‘Vds , an a voyage from the Thames to Cardiff; and was pursuing her stay down Channel on. Friday night, when about eleven o'clock the vessel being some 12 miles off Berry Head, three of the crew etude a desperate and sudden attack upon Captain Balsdon, with the eldent intention of murdering him. Having dealt him some fettifill blows on the head with an iron pin, rendering him insensible, they seized the mate and lashed him to the mast. They then robbed the captain of his money, £8 10s., and his gold watch, and taking to the ship's boat, the villains made off. The schooner was afterwards fallen in with, and . ulti mata3, got into Brishatn, when the particulars of. the daring act, and a destriptien of the three ruffians were forwarded to various places.On tile coast. Information has since been received of the finding of the boat near Beer, some 30 miles higher up the coast, but the men had decamped. They are reported to have been seen in Branscombe, a neighbouring , village, and it is supposed that they will not escape the hands of justice. The captain, who was sadly hurt, is recovering. ADULTERY AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. NEwcAstit, July 21. The quiet village of Newsham has been thrown into a great state of excitement by a report which proved to he true, that a navvie, named Joseph Chapman, had attempted to take away his life by cutting his throat with a razor. A few months ago, the navvie, who was working on the railway at Prospect Hill, absconded with the wife of one of the villagers, named Cleghorn. Shortly after their departure, however, the woman, repeutifig of the step she had taken, and being tired of travelling the country with 'her gallant, applied to her husband to forgave her and receive her hometO her family. The husband agreed, mid Mrs. Cleghorn returned home about a month ago. The navvie came back also, and, as it were, haunted the place where she dwelt. He has been freqUently seen in the neighbourhood by several 6f the neighbours, and it appeared that he had taken lodgings about Percy Main. Yesterday morning he was seen coming into the village about eleven o'clock. Shortly afterwards he was found, with his throat cut, in a small outhouse used for keeping poultry. Mrs. Cleghorn, coming to the door, saw some blood, and finding that it proceeded from her wounded lover, she called a cartman, who was loading coals at the time, to come and remove the injured man before her husband came home. Dr. Trotter, of Blyth, happened to be in the place at the time visiting his patients, and he speedily sewed up and dressed the wound. Dr. Ward, of Blyth, was also sent for t as was also one of the overseers, and Chapman was conveyed by Sergeant Buglass to Newcastle Infirmary, where he now lies in a Most cbingerous state. Dr. Ward says the wound is a very serious one. nttmour asserts that the foolish fellow had some poison on him, but whether he took any is not ascertained. ACTION FOR SEDUCTION. At the Stafford assizes, on Saturday, the case of 'f Wooton v. Snape " was tried in the nis►: prints court, before Mr. Justice Byles. It was an action for seduction, and xVis a new trial, a rule for which had been obtained by the defendant, a verdict for the plaintiff, with £5O damages, having been obtained against - hini at the last assizes for Stafford. The plaintiff is a timber merchant, living in Blozwich, South Staffordshire, and the defendant is the brother of his present and second wife. His family consists of eleven children, six of them by his present wife. The eldest of these at home is Hannah, aged 15. The defendant is a widower, and just previously to the last March assizes was an innkeeper at Lichfield, but was then living with his father, a man of property at Pelsell, and carrying on business as a farmer and innkeeper. Defendant could not agree with his father, and his mother induced her datightek (plaintiff's wife) to allow him to lodge iu her house. He entered the house as a lodger December 8, 1858. On . the 22nd defendant entered Hannah's bedroom undressed, but Sane, a younger sister, who was unwell, and slept in another bed in the same room, rapped the floor with a stick, and the defendant threatened her with violence and left. On the next night, Snape drew Hannah beer for her supper, which he had never done before. Imme diately after taking it she became very drowsy and went to bed,-where she was so powerfully overcome by stupor as to leave her candle burning. This was afterwards put out by Mrs. Wootton. Subsequently defendant entered her room. Before leaving her room he threatened to kill her if she ever said any thing about it. She was alarmed and said nothing, but afterwards placed a chest of draWers against her bedrocOn dour every night. The next morning he repeated his threat, and she beard attempts made oh other niuhts afterwardg, and subsequent to these attempts defendant offered her some of his deceased wife's clothing anq a silver thimble to leave her door open, but she would not. She was confined of a child on the 20th of August, 1859, of which the defendant was the father. She did not know that she was about to be a mother until a fortnight before the birth, when Dr. Somerville, after an examination ordered by her father, pronounced her to be in the family way. Till that examination she had said nothing about the offence. The defence was that not the defendant, but a youth, was the father of the child, and that defendant had not committed the offence charged against him. The jury, after the trial bad lasted nearly two days, ; returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £23.0. COURT AND TABLE TALK. It is expected that her Majesty will leave Osborne on the 4tli of August, to commence the usual journey northwards. The whole of the royal arrangements for the autumn are rather earlier than usual. The six weeks in the Highlands will be curtailed to about a month. Her Majesty is expected to make a stay of two or three days in Edinburgh, on her way to Balmoral. An amusing story is going the round of the official world respecting a recent Cabinet Council. These coun cils are always either summoned by the Prime Minister or the Foreign Secretary ; no other member of the Cabinet, even if he has the authority, ever dreams of exercising it. During the present Administration almost all the Cabinet Councils have been summoned by the Premier ; but, on a recent occasion, the responsibility of summoning the Ministers to council was left with the Foreign Office, and, whether from disuse or sheer for getfulness, somehow the matter was entirely forgotten. Great was the astonishment of Lord Palmerston, and still greater that of some of his colleagues, at not being called to the Council Board, and vague disquiet reigned for a short season in several official breasts. On an explanation being offered, everything was, of course, perfectly satisfactory. Whatever astonishment the . ministers might have felt at not being summoned one week, it was far exceeded the following week, by the surprise of receiving two summonses for two Cabinet Councils to be held at the same hour and at the same place. It turned out that the Premier was determined that there should be " no mistake," and this time called his Cabinet himself, and Lord John Russell, having a like determination to bs safe, issued his summonses. The assembled ministers had a hearty laugh at the chiefs who had been thus doubly sure. LORD CLYDE.--We understand that Lord Clyde has received her Majesty's commands to pass a few days at Osborne on a visit to the Queen and Prince Consort. The noble and gallant general is expected to leave town to -day fnr Isle o f Wicht THE Six-FOOT GUARDS.—We understand that on Saturday last the six-foot volunteers made a proposition to Lord Colville, the Lieutenant-Colonel of the Hon. Artillery Company, to the effect that they should be placed on the strength of that old-established corps. Lord Colville has ordered a general court to be assem bled for the purpose of considering the request, and of submitting their decision to the Captain-General, the Prince Consort. ARRIVAL OF THE CHISHOLM IN STRATHGLASS.— The Inverness papers contain long accounts of rejoicings in Strathglass, upon the occasion of the arrival at his property there of the chief of the clan Chisholm. The Courier says:`" Some seventy or eighty years since The Chisholm of that day executed an entail of his estates (now worth above £7,000 per annum) on certain mem bers of his family and others, their successors. He had five sons and two brothers then living ; but all these, in the comparatively short interval, have died without issue, and the succession has, according to the deed of entail, devolved upon the representative of a collateral branch long settled in Canada. This gentleman, James Sutherland lThisholm, Esq., recently crossed the Atlantic, and is now amongst us." DR. CHEEVER ON HIS WAY TO THIS COVNTRY.—Dr. Cheever left New York for this country in the Adriatic on the 14th of this month, intending to be absent three or four months. The primary object of the journey is, we presuine, the reinvigoration of the constitution over taxed by the labour and excitement of the last four years ; and, incidentally, the promotion of the anti-slavery cause by the diffusion, among the orthodox people of Great Britain, of correct information as to the state of the question in this country, and particularly in relation to the disgraceful and guilty attitude_ of the American churches and ministers. He will be met by letter or deputation at Southampton; in order to induce him to I come to Edinburgh about the time of the Tri-centenary Celebration.— Caledonian Mercury. LLc ruag IN A WoamlotTsE.--On 'Wednesday last a lecture to the inmates .of the Greenwich Union was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Carlile; of Woolwich, one of the guardians. The subject of the lecture was the " Bible and its Adaptation to Man." About 600 inmates attended, and heard the lecture with marked attention. At4he close a spontaneous expression of gratitude was given by the audience. MISS FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE ON SANITARY DEFORM. At'the closing sitting of the Internatiffrat Statistical Congress, the following letter from Miss Nightingale was read arid iteeiied With "30, Old Burlington-street, July 20 " My Lord,—Pardon me for stiggesting to you that there must be a large amount of statistic - all information bearing on the prevention of disease in possession of the Governments of different countries, and that it would be of great importance aE the next meeting of this congress if each delegate would include, in any report to be pre sented, any marked examples of the dfrainution of mor tality and diseases together with the saving of cost consequent on the carrying out of sanitary improve ments in towns, in dwellings of the labouring classes, in schools, in hoVitalss, and armies. "As, for example, it is stated to he a fact demon strated by statistics, that in improved dwellings the mortality has fallen in certain cases from 25 and 24 to 14 per 1,000; and that in common lodging houses,' which have been hot-beds of epidemics, such diseases have almost disappeared as heads of statistics, through the adoption of sanitary measures. As no one has been more instrumental than your lordAip in bringing about these happy results, so no one is better acquainted than yourself with these facts. "It is also stated that in the British army large bodies of men, living under certain improved sanitary conditions, have presented a death-rate, about one-third only of what the army has suffered in past years. Would not your lordship consider it of great importance that the satistics of these and similar cases should be carefully collected 3nd presented for comparison with the statistics of ordinary mortality ? " Again, it is stated that in our colonial schools for aborigines we have in many instances exposed the children to the risk of scrofula and consumption while Christianising and civilising them. Might not this be avoided by sanitary arrangements ? "Again, to take a different case, from the experience of schools. It is stated as statistically true of some industrial and half-time schools for orphan and destitute children that, whereas formerly two-thirds of the child ren became sacrifices to vice and crime (as indeed is - stated to be still the case in some instances) the failures on account of misconduct among the pupils have been reduced to less than two per cent. Might it not be well to consider whether these statistical results do not exemplify what may be done by the application of like measures ? " I am encouraged to make_ these suggestions by the following words from the statesman, Guizot :---‘ Valuable reports, full of facts and sound views, drawn up by committees, inspectors, rectors, and prefects, remain un known to the public. The Government ought to charge itself with the knowledge of and the expansion of all good systems, with the encouragement of all favouring efforts, and with attempts to improve them. According to our present habits and institutions one channel alone embraces sufficient action and power to secure this salu tary influence,—that channel is the press.' " If facts already existing regarding the points I have mentioned above were carefully abstracted and made accessible to the public, through the medium of the congress, there cannot be a doubt of the great benefit whi(h would accrue to science and humanity. "And if—as it is the cost which has frightened com munities from executing the works necessary to carry out sanitary improvements—it could be shown that the cost of crime, disease, and excess of mortality is actually greater, it would remove one of the most legitimate objections in the minds of governments and nations against such measures.—l have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's faithful servant, " FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE. "The Earl Shaftesbury." • Two whales have appeared in the Gateloch, near Glasgow. The assizes now nearly over throughout Ireland are remarkable for the very considerable diminution of crime.

On Saturday, at Lambeth Police Court, Elizabeth Wixted, a repulsive and dissipated-looking woman, who has been in custody for about ten days on a charge of attempting to destroy her illegitimate offspring by fling ing it head foremost into a waterbutt, was brought np for final examination. Mr. Norton committed her to take her trial. The gentlemen belonging to the Patriotic Fund have kindly sent the illegimate child of the prisoner to the society's school at Wandsworth. NEW LINE-OF-BATTLE STEAMSHIPS.—The launching of the fine line-of-battle screw steamship Atlas, 91 guns, took place from No. 6 slip at Chatham on Saturday afternoon, with the most complete success, making the fourth large vessel of war which has been launched from that 'dockyard in little more than twelve months. Mrs. Schomberg,.the wife of Capt. Schomberg, superintendent. of the steam reserve ordinary in the Medway, performed the ceremony of christening the ship. Another vessel, of a similar size to that of the Atlas, will be immediately laid down on the same slip. The next vessel to be launched at Chatham dockyard is the Bulwark, 91, nearly completed. THE CUSTOMS DUTY ON FOREIGN PAYER.—Mr. Thomas Wrigley, the extensive paper manufacturer of Bury, has a strong letter on this subject in yesterday's Times. Mr. Wrigley says :—lt is now upwards of five months since the paper trade was thrown into the utmost confusion and alarm by the announcement in. the Budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he intended to repeal the excise, duty on paper, and at the same time to abolish the whole customs duty on paper of foreign manufacture. During the whole of this period our trade has been in. a state of semi-paralysis. We have made no complaint whatever as to the proposal to repeal the excise duty, but we do complain of the spirit of injustice in which this measure has been conceived, the utter disregard of every 'principle of common honesty by which the proposal has been marked, the contemptuous • indifference with which our remon stances have been met, and the wanton injury that has been inflicted upon an important and useful branch of English. 'industry by an unnecessary delay. If Mr. Gladstone had been the representative of some foreign State. and in that character had been delegated to pro tect and advance the interests of Continental Europe, he could not have shown les:: sympathy, or a more reckless disregard of English interests than he has done in deal ing with with those of the British papermaker. * * * It was not the repeal of the paper duty, but the proposal to abolish the whole of the Customs duty on foreign paper, accompanied by an abolition of the foreign rag-tax, that struck consternation into th e whole trade of papermaking. Had it been proposed to reduce the Customs duty by an amount equal to the Excise duty, or had the entire abo lition been preceded by the abolition of the foreign tax, nc word of complaint would h ave - been heard f rom us; bat it was plain that to permit a free admis sion of foreign paper, and at the same time to allow foreign Governments to tax the material which we require, was nothing less than a deliberate confiscation of our property—a bodily transplanting of our menu facturq to the Continent of Europe, and the granting of a monopoly of the English market to foreign manufac turers, as a reward for the selfish legislation of foreign Governments. We aro to be exposed to the competition of the whole Continent, without their having made the slightest concession in moderating their tax upon the export of rags. We therefore appeal to the House of Commons —and, if need be, to the House of Lords—to protect us from the consequences of this iniquitous measure, by which a whole trade is to be sacrificed for the benefit of foreign manufacturers and the proprietors of a few cheap newspapers. We again ask that the import duty on foreign paper be not repealed, except concurrently with a free trade in rags, by the abolition of all export duties in cou ntries sending paper to England. --- Our readrrs have only to send their address to D.

SIR,--As the press is omniscient, permit me to ast the question— it the West Derby Union Workhouse a, tavern ? hfy reason for inquiry is this. I understand' that every beard day there is an excellent dinner, con sisting of solids and liquid's provided for the guardians, for which and the etceteras, each guardian pays the sum total of 18d. :Every one remembers the disgraceful rows that took place there some time ego, when eettain of the guardians insisted on their right to " feed" at the expense of the ratepayers ; but as the gorgers weie defeated in that attempt, I heir the present plan has been substituted. If this be the case, would not the gustative propensities of the guardians be better appeased at some neighbouring hostelry, and then the paupers in the house would not be reminded (by the smell at lea t of the good cheer) of the parable in the gospel of the rich man, who " fared sumptuously every day," whilst they, the poor Lazaruses, desired to be fed by the crumbs that fell from the great man's 'table ? One thing is certain, that if the Workhouse, or any part thereof, be used as a refreshment room for payment, it will come under the operation of the new act, and a license must be taken out, which will cost one guinea only think of this, along with the rest of its notoriety! Pray, as I have hinted at your knowing all things, let me know all about this, and oblige, 23rd July, 1860. A RATEPAYER.
