THE POISONING CASE. Mr. Raffles took his seat yesterday morning, at ten o'clock. The prisoner Winslow appeared rather excited. His face was flushed rather more than usual. Mr. Asnidall pro•posed to adduce evidence proving that antimony had been found in the three other bodies exhumed; in order to show that. there was antimony in the house at the time of Mrs. James's illness, which lie said was an important fact bearing upon the charge against the prisoner. ►ir. Raffles declined taking the evidence, for the reason that the charge against the accused could only be substantiated by direct evidence of guilt. Mr. Peter Downs—l am one of. the house surgeons of the Southern Hospital. I remember Anne James brought to the hospital on the 7th of June last, and placed in a closet in No. 7. ward. Elizabeth Hughes (a previous witness) is the nurse there. Mrs. James was then out as an ordinary patient, but specially under Dr. Cameron's care, who visited her from time to time. I also attended her. Dr. Cameron prescribed for her. She was very much emaciated, and suffering from . purging and vomiting. I received from Dr. Cameron and communicated to Hughes directions to preserve her motions and vomitings. This was done immediately she came into the hospital. On Tuesday morning following the date of her admission I gave the bottles to a person named Tapper. The bottles were labelled according to the fluids they contained, and marked " Mrs. James." I had received the bottles direct from witness Hughes. I was present when the fluids were bottled, on Monday morning, at nine o'clolk, and gave them to Tapper on Tuesday, the 12th, on the afternoon of which day I gave bottles to the witness Dickens. I cannot, say how, many, but I gave more than one. One contained urine. O❑ Wednesday I delivered more bottles to Dickens—one containing urine, the other or others vomiting or motions or both. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday, gave similar bottles, and on Sunday I may have delivered similar bottles, but not one containing urine. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, delivered similar bottles con taining urine to witness Scott. lam net sure that I delivered any on Friday. lam enabled to speak more accurately about the urine because I took memoranda .of it each day; but not of the others. After the,post iioitem examination I assisted Mr. Pemberton in making up the bottles and jars, and delivered them to Dickens on the 25th of June. Mrs. James died on Sunday, the 24th. At the time of her admission she vies troubled with great vomiting and purging ; was very emaciated, and what she took would not remain on her stomach. Her tongue was red, and her pulse between eighty and ninety. She presented all the symptoms of gastric internal irritation. On Monday, the llth, she was better; on Tuesday the purging was - much more violent, and her pulse had risen to one hundred and twenty ; on Wednesday she was better. She was several times sick ; very little matter came from her stomach. This was chiefly mucus and bile. From this time until the time of her death the symp toms were purely those of exhaustion, except that on the Friday before her death—the - second after her admission—there was a sudden increase_ of abdominal pain. When she died on Sunday, she had no convulsions, but died as if worn out by exhaustion: By Mr. Rattles—The pulse besides being quick, was also feeble, except on one occasion, when the pulse was not so weak in consequence of her having taken stimulants. By Mr. Aspinall—The prisoner visited her frequently. I refused him admission several times. He seemed to be intoxicated, and excited, and cried. Mrs. Calfarata and others visited her. By Mr. Raffies—There was a cold perspiration. 1 nean by exhaustion, great prostration, and inability to move. Her tongue became foul, but she never com plained of her throat. By Mr. Cobb—l have not. seen a case of cancer in the bowels, the marked symptoms of which I know. Purg ing is one. Ulceration of the stomach would produce sickness ; ulceration of the bowels seldom does. After taking food sickness would ensue, and immediately cease after the stomach had been relieved. Gastric intestinal irritation or irritation of the alimentary canal, might be produced by natural causes; and any disease of the stomach or bowels would produce great exhaustion, and ultimately death. Knowing the cause of death, I should attribute the increase of the pain in the abdomen on Friday to perforation. I did not see her in convulsions. Her limbs during life were not contracted. I knew- a day or two after she was admitted, that she had cancer of the bowels, or more correctly of the cceeum, and ulceration of the stomach ; and all the symptoms which she had described were consistent with the disease she was labouring under. We do not keep a book at the hospital in which visitors' names are inserted. The room in which the deceased was, was the private room of the nurse, in which were three beds, all occupied at the time of Mrs. James's admission. If t >e prisdner were standing by the window of the ward, his back would be turned towards the nurse and Mrs, James, who could partially see hit - face when he had slightly turned. There is a small round table which could not prevent him from hiding his face, by the -window. Archibald Tapper —I have been following the sea for the last two years, and I was a patient in the Sodthern Hospital on the 11th of June last, when I received two bottler from Dr. Downs, and I took them to Seel -street id Dr. Edwards, and left them in the possession of the witness Dickens. As I was closing the umbrella at the door, the bottle containing the urine fell and broke. Benjamin Dickens, assistant to Dr. Edwards, of the Royal "Institution Laboratory, Colquitt-street, deposed that on Wednesday, the 6th June, he received a bottle from witness Weir. On Tuesday, the 12th, witness Tapper brought three bottles, breaking one at the door. On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, witness went to the hospital for more bottles ; and on the following Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the witness Scott brought two or three bottles each day from the hospital, which were locked up and given at the first opportunity to Dr. Edwards. On Monday witness received from Dr. Downs four sealed bottles and jars, containing the deceased's body. Owen Scott, porter at Dr. Edward's laboratory, proved receiving the bottles from Dr. Downs, and carry ing them to the laboratory. John Cameron, M.D., and honorary physician at the Southern Hospital, and lecturer on saedieal j uris prudence, said---On the sth of February last the priso ner Winslow called upon me, and informed me that be had been a patient at the hospital some time previously. I reside in Rodney-street, a considerable distance from Vauxhall-road. The purport of his message was that Mrs. James was very ill, and that having attended him at the hospital during serious illness he had advised Mrs. James to send for me. I attended Mrs. James in eonsequence. On visiting her on the sth February I found her in bed. She was emaciated, and looked like a person who had been for some time in ill health. She was suffering from purging and vomitink. I examined her, and in the right side of the abdomen I distinguished a tumour,—which, connected with the symptoms,—l believed to be malignant, or cancerous. There was a considerable amount of prostration. She informed me that she had been for some time subject to attacks of diarrhoea with vomiting; but she laid most stress upon the purging ; and further stated that ate had been sub ject for the last four or five years to o ccasional loose ness of the bowels, and that the worsesymptoms since r *i-Christmas. culitg and purging had become much I prescribed f or her, and I left with the underst an di ng that I was to be informed of her progress. Two or t l l 'ree days aft e r that, Winslow called upon me, a n d i nform :4 me that she was better. I did not see hey again until the 29th of March, w h en I was called upon, I iteelieve, by dWinslow, to see m e. On calling upon : who informed m e that s h e was ' worse , se, a wishedl found her in very mu ch the s ame state t h a t her, she was in on the sth February and on en qu i r y a s to her p. *ogress since my last visit, I ascertained that she had impro . 71 f 1 rapidly. I did not keep all my prescriptions. I wrov,`' the prescriptions marked A on the sth of February, and iibelieve I wrote a presc r ipti on , o f w hi c h the paper marke 4 13 is a dupli cate on the same occasion. Although sale ¢d Ak dii k . a .. a been better i n th e i n t erva l f ro m the .sth of Februa, t had the 29th o f M arc h, s h e h a d never been well, h i li been e na bled to attend to her business. On this occasion t as on the former, the purging was the most urgent Symptom. I prescribed this prescription (C) advising her to c o ntinue prescription B. I left on the under standing that I was to be informed of her progress. I was sent for on the Bth of May, when I found the deceased suffering under the same symptoms as on the previous visits, but she was much worse. But in the i n t erva l, s h e h a d been, was told, able to follow h er usua l d u ti es . I considered her in danger on that occasion. Wishing to communi cate the matter to h er re l a ti ves , I as ked her niece, Mrs. Cafferata, to call upon me the following morning, when I informed her that her aunt was very ill, and that my attendance must be continued. My attendance was continued regularly from the Bth of May. By the 19th she was again better. On that occasion I stated that I should not call again for several days. On the Bth of May I confirmed the same.treatment. On the 11th I wrote the prescription D. When I left on the 19th she was again relieved. On the 25th May I saw he r nex t, when I f o und her in much the same s t a t e as on the former occasions and I prescribed for her the prescription E directing her to continue presenp • tion B. O n th e 3 1st o f May I wrote prescription I', Still directing B to be continued. I continued my attendance until the 6th of June, when she was again relieved. On the 9th of June I was sent for, and pre scribed the prescription G. I should have mentioned that on the 6th of June I carried away some of her wine, and forwarded it to Dr. Edwards to be analysed. I obtained it from Mrs. Cafferata. I suspected that the deceased was suffering under the ialuence of poison. I came to this conclusion in consequence of havi ng observed the progress of her case, the violent purg. jug and sudden attacks occurring or setting in while she was in a state of comparatively good health ; that then the violence of the symptoms decreased as rapidly as they set in—and that they were accompanied by an extraordinary amount of prostration. These attacks came on frequently after taking food, arid food that had been cooked. The medicine administered had an unusual effect in relieving the symptoms ; and I may sum the whole up by saying that I did not believe the symptoms were those of cancer of the ccecum. I began to believe on the Bth of May that she was suffering from some foreign irritating substance, and it was in consequence of that that I procured the urine and left it at the laboratory with Mr. Weir. When I called on the 9th of June I carried away some of the matter that had passed from the bowels, and took it to Dr. Edwards on the same afternoon. In con sequence of the information which I received from Dr. Edwards, I communicated the following morning (Sunday the 10th inst.) with Major Greig, and in the course of the morning the deceased was removed to the Southern Hospital. After her admission to the hospital, she continued at first to suffer fiom purging and vomit ing. On the 10th, before she was removed, I went in to Mrs. James and informed her that I believed she was suffering from the effects of poison, and that it was absolutely necessary for her safety that she should be removed from her house. Mr. Kehoe joined me. There was a basin in the room containing matters, purging, &c. She informed me that during the night she had been much worse. On the table there were some bottles, containing medicine, brandy, and wine; and one of the cups contained something which appeared like cooked sago. The other cup was empty. As soon as she was ready, she was removed in a car to the Southern Hospital, where she remained from the 10th till the 24th, when she died. Up to Friday, the 22nd, her state was variable, but there was no marked change in her progress. The symptoms were vomiting and purging, accompanied with great exhaustion, total loss of appetite, and a short time before her death she began to suffer from cough. I should also mention, with respect to the vomiting, that during the first few days after her admission they were more urgent than afterwards. On Friday, the 22nd, she was suddenly seized by a severe pain in the abdomen, acorn ponied by an extreme collapse. She never rallied, and died about twelve o'clock at noon on Sunday, the 24th. was present at the post ~ nor tend examination made by Mr. Pemberton six hours after death. Externally, the body was very much emaciated. Ou opening the body and examining the oesophagus, we found tile lining membrane deeply tainted with yellow. At a short dis tance from the orifice of te stomach were two patches of hardened lymph. On opening the stomach, we found this organ considerably distended, and containing about a pint of thick yellow fluid. At the smaller end of the stomach were two ulcers—mie about. an eighth of an inch, and the other three-eighths of an inch in diameter. Their edges were circular, formed by a softening of the mucous membrane. On introducing a probe into the ulcers, we found that they communicated with the substance of a humour, which I shall describe just now. The mucous membrane, or the lining coat of the stomach, was tinged with a deep yellow colour, but presented no other appearance of disease. On proceeding to the intestines, we found in the upper part of the intestine a few patches of redness. The remainder of the small intes tine presented no appearance of disease. At the emu mencement of the large intestine, in that part of the bowel commonly called the ccecum, we found a cancer ous humour about four by five inches in each direction, and varying from an inch to au inch and a half in thickness. This involved the coats of the bowels in which it had originated. On its inner aspect the surface was irregularly ulcerated. At the upper or right side of this tumour we found two small ragged openings, through which the contents of the bowels had pene trated into the cavity of the abdomen. It was in the upper part of this cancerous tumour that the ulcers in the stomach terminated. The disease was strictly limited to the mecum, terminating abruptly above and below. The folds of the inner coat of the larger bowel throughout the remainder of the course presented patches of superficial redness becoming more numerous towards the rectum. In the right side of the abdominal cavity we found several ounces of thick fluid which had escaped from the bowel and given rise to inflammation of the peritoneum. The intestines throughout tke whole course were remarkably empty. The liver, the spleen, and the kidneys presented no unusual appearance. The left lung was healthy; the lower part of the right lung was con siderably congested and of a deep fed colour. Whe heart was healthy. The brain was healthy. By Mr. Aspinall—During my attendance she told me that for the four or five last years she had had good health ; but she had been subject to what she called looseness of the bowels. On ascertaining what she meant, she said she took indigestible food, which brought on bilious attacks; and dated the commence ment of her last illness from Christmas. Tire change she alluded to was caused by diarrheea, occurring with vomiting, not always urgent. By Mr. Raffles—l did not prescribe antimony at any time. Mr. John Weir--I am chemist to the Inland Revenue at Liverpool. On the 6th of June I was in Dr. Edwards' laboratory. Dr. Cameron gave me a bottle for Dr. Edwards, which I delivered to Mr. Dickens. Thomas George Thompson, porter in the Soutbern Hospital—l know the boy Scott. He came to the .hos, pital on the 22nd June, whilst Mr. Downs was at din ner. I went to Mr. Downs; in consequence of his instructions I gave Scott three bottles. By Mr. Cobb---I saw the prisoner almost every time that he was admitted into the hospital. Dr. Cameron cross-examined by Mr. Cobb,--It was at my attendance beginning on the Bth of May that I grs suspected that poison had been administered to her. I was struck that there was someting peculiar and unusual about her case. M y suspicions were confirmed after the first ana lysis by Dr. Edwards on the 6th June. I gave an antidote on the 31st May. The most judicious treatment, I thought, was a preparation of morphia, considering that poison had been administered in small doses. The vomiting and Purging being so violent, would of themselyes„ I believe, carry off the poison. The patient's stomach 55 - 4 S so irritated, that it rejected everything that she took. I considered that poison was administered in small, but poisonous, doses. The peculiar symptom not usually accompanying, he disease under which she suffered, was the great violence of vomiting occurring with purging of equally violent character, and coming on suddenly, the patient being previously in a comparatively good state of health. The two occurring together with such unusual violence was the peculiar symptom not usually seen in patients suffering from cancer. I have seen a case similar to that which Mrs. James was labouring under—cancer of the bowels. That which I have seen differed in a very remarkable manner—constant and slight diarrhoea, but no vomiting. There was no ukeration of the stomach. Sickness is produced by disease of the stomach oftener than by disease a the bowels. There might have been vomiting in this case of a different character, and occurring in a different manner. On the occasion of my first visit there was a greater excess of purging than vomiting, which indicated a cer tain 4,iscase of the bowels. Thirst was never a very marked symptom, but it was a symptom. In dysentery there is thirst. The ulceration of the mouth and throat occurred a few days before death, being the result of prostration. I did not see any black vomit. I was never at the house of the deceased previous to the sth February. The vomits were usually shaded green and yellow. Dr. Edwards, analytical chemist—On Thursday, the 7th June, I received a bottle of urine from witness Dielum s . I found a trace of antimony in it. On the the 9th Ju I received from Dr. Cameron two bottles, one containing fceces. I analysed this and found a trace of antimony. I analysed the other containing vomit, and from it I obtained tw o cons id era bl e d epos it s o f antimony. On the 12th June I received from witness Dickens, a bottle of vomit, labelled Mrs. James. I analysed /this, and obtained two considerable deposits of antimony ; a l so a bottle of fceces, labelled " Mrs. James, Sunday." I analysed this, ,and found a trace of anti mony. On the afternoon of the same day, I received from Mr. Dickins two other bottles one contained vomit, and was labelled " Mrs. James, Monday." I analysed this , and found a trace of antimony i n i t. The other bottle contained urine. I analysed this, an d found a trace of antimony in it. On the 13th June 1 received from Benjamizi Dickens three bottles, labelled " Mrs. James, Tuesday." One contained yAkit this did mot give a recogn i sable trace of antimony. T 4 e s econd bottle cont a i ne d f ceces : i n this I obtained a trace of antimony. Th e third bottle contained urine, and a trace of antimony. The §,f,,w e day I received from Inspector Hor h a ic a h small bottle of , port wine, labelled " cowntainingcontained no antinxoay. Also two cups u quantity of cooked sago food—about a table _sp a o u onf a_ 1. One cup was smaller than thq other. .alysed this, and found two considerable Dickens three d apn %ts tntimony On June the 14th, I received froni bottles, labelled " Wednesday," one containing vomit which contained no antimony. The second bottle con tained urine, and from it I obtained &tra ce of ant. mony. The third bottle contain fceces, and a trace of antimony. On the 15th I received three bottles from Air. Dickens, which were labelled "Thursday." The first contained vomit and a trace of antimony. The second bottle con tained fceces; and from it I obtained a deposit of anti moYy. The third bottle contained urine ; but it did not contain stifticient antimony to show a certain trace but on investigation. On the 16th I received three bottles, labelled "Friday," from Dickens; the first con tained fcecia, and no antimony ; the second urine, which was :nixed with that of the previous day, and from the two combined I obtained a trace of antimony. The third bottle Contained fees and a trace of antimony. On the same clay T obtained from Inspector Horn a quantity of old uncooked sago. I examined about a quarter of a pound of it, ami Ntind no trace of anti mony. On the 18th of June I receireu from witness Dickens a bottle of fceces, marked " Mrs. James', Saturday." I obtained a mere trace of antimony in it; a bottle of urine, from this I obtained a decided deposit of amtimony ; also a bottle of Vomit, labelled " James, Sunday," and from this I obtained no deposit. I also 'obtained a bottle of fceees containing a distinct trace of antimony, and a bottle of urine which contained a trace of antimony. On the 19th of June, the bottle labelled " Mrs. James, Monday," contained urine and a distinct trace of antimony. On the 20th June I obtained one containing faeces and a trace of antimony ; the second contained urine, but no antimony ; the third contained vomit, and no antimony. On the 21st I received from Mr. Dickens three bottles, labelled "Wednesday :" one contained faeces, and from it I obtained a deposit of antimony. The second contained vomit ; I obtained from this a deposit of antimony. The third contained urine, and I found a trace of antimony. On the 22nd June I received from Mr. Dickens three bottler+, labelled " Thursday." One con tained faeces, and I obtained a faint trace of antimony ; the second contained urine, and a slight trace of antiL mony ; the third bottle contained vomit, but no antimony. On the 23rd June I received three bottles from Mr. Dickens, labelled " Friday ;" one contained faeces and a distinct deposit of antimony ; the second contained urine and a distinct deposit of antimony ; the third contained vomit and scarcely a trace of antimony. On the 26th of June I received from Mr. Dickens four jars; the first contained the brain, the heart, the lungs, and spleen ; the second the liver and kidneys ; the third the intestines ; the fourth the stomach, a portion of diseased ccecum, and a portion of the oesophagus or gullet. There were all properly labelled as being ob tained from the deceased, Ann James. I also received four bottles--one containing bile ; the second blood ; the third fluid from the stomach; and the fourth fluid from the abdominal cavity. From one half of the stomach I obtained five antimonial deposits. From more than one-half the intestines I obtained five anti monial deposits; fwm one kidney, four antimonial de posits ; from about two pounds of the liver I obtained three antimonial deposits ; from about two pounds of brain, I obtained no antimony ; from three ounces of the bile, I obtained no antimony ; from four ounces of the blood I obtained a distinct antimonial deposit ; from the fluid in the stomach, measuring about a pint, I obtained one consi,Zerable deposit of antimony,; from the fluid from the peritoneal cavity, measuring about twelve ounces, I obtained a slight trace of antimony. 1 received on the 3,a of July from Inspector Horn a bottle of medicine clntaining about seven fluid ounces, having the label of "Costine and Dyson," marked No. 6. I analysed this, and it contained no antiinony. tin the 24th of July 1 received from Inspector Horn sin bottles ; one containing medicine, marked No. 1, and no antimony ; another containing medicine, marked No. 2; another containing medicine, marked No. 3; another containing wine, marked No. 5; another containing medicine, marked No. 7; and another containing medi cine, marked No. 8. I aualysed egch of these, and found no antimony. On Thursday, .1 - 14 20, I conveyed to London a large portion of Itielung and the entire spleen, and examined these, in conjunction with Dr. Taylor and Dr. Miller, at King's College Observatory. I obtained several deposits of antimony from the viscera ; and these I subjected to further chemical analyses, in the presence of these gentlemen. In each of these analyses I digested the fluids with hydrochloric add, 40 the solids with hydrochloric acid and water. Having obtainsd a volu tion of the substance, I added a slip of copper. Both the copper and the hydrochloric acid I separately analysed in the first place, and ascertained that they were free from antimony. The deposits which I here speak of were the thin films of metallic antimony, which becomes precipitated on the surface Qf t.he copper when that metal is present. As far as possible I observo the same conditions with respect to the quantity of acid, and the duration of the experiment in all these cases ; and the quantitative opinion which I have given here is founded upon observing the colour of the copper as coated. The deposits from the vomit were heated in a tube by which they hecame oxidized. A portion of theui—l speak of the first vomited matter—which was disolved in tartaric acid and salphuretted hydro pp gas, and passed through the solution, and formed an orange coloure d precipitate —a sulphuret of antimony ; the depo, sits obtained from the urine and the faeces were digested with a little potash, which dissolved the films of antimony. Siilphuretted hydrogen was passed through this solution, and the *aid filtered. It was then acidulated with hydrochloric acid, c-ncl precipitated as an orange su lphuret of antimony. This was tested with ammonia, in which it was found to be insoluble. It was digolyed in hydrochloric acid, and placed in a Marsh's apparatus, in which pure hydrogen gas was being disengaged. In heating a portion of this apparatus, the metallic anti mony was repvered in the form of a sublimate, which was found to he insoluble in a solution of chloride of lime. I be lieve no substance will give these reactions save antimony. d T e h p e osi s t a s ine obt p a r i o n c e e d ss from the viscera, w% f hp er re e cis t el o y the same result. By Mr. Cobb—The appearance and the colour of the mucous membrane might be altered if preserved in spirits of wine for two or three days. The alteration would principally consist in the fluid being withdrawn, and the colourcoming, a little paler. Alfred Swaine Taylor, F.C.?., lecturer on medica jurisprudence at Guy's College, 4c., Ch Tues day, the 10th July, I received from Inspector Hern at Guy's Hospital, three jars containing part of the stomach, the diseased ececum, a portion of the liver, one kidney, the heart, and a portion of the intes tines; und I subsequently received from Dr. Edwards the whole of the' spleen} and a large portion of the lungs. With the exception of the spleen and the lungs, I divided the viscera, and delivered one half to Dr. Miller. I examined the portions of the viscera for antimony and arsenic. I found antimony clearly in the spleen, the lungs, and the liver. The other portions of the viscera which I analysed did not yield distinct traces of antimony. I examined the spleen in the preence of Dr. Edwards ; and the liver and the lungs with Dr. Miller and Dr. Edwards. Tilt,. Dr. Miller I also examined the deposits on copper produced by Dr. Edwards, and some sublimates, on glass, ob tained by Dr. Edwards in his analyses. I also examined, with Dr. Edwards, the deposits on copper which Dr. Edwards had obtained from the urine and evacuations. Dr. I .fger and I obtained antimony from the liver. The result was that we had no doubt in our Minds that the . deposit s cons i sted of some eempotiud of antimony present In the body of the deceased ; and I may add that from finding it diffused through these organs I formed the opinion that the antimony bad entered the body of the deceased person during life. From an examination of the viscera, there was nothing that could lead me to ascertain the cause of death, except the cancerous disease of the coecuna. In the analyses I adopted the plan which Dr. Edwards has described in his presence, and in the presence of Dr. and we satisfied our selves —we were all equally satisfied—that the deposits and sublimates were due to antimony. I have heard the relation of symptoms of the deceased during her illness, and the result of the post mortein examination, and I should attribute the cause of death to a rupture of deeeased's cceenm. The symptoms of violent purging and vomiting were such as small deses of antimony would produce, and, as the presence of antimony was found in the vomited matter as well as in the faeces, I should attribute these symptoms to the action of anti mony. How far that contributed to the death of the deceased I find it impossible to give an opinion. There was extensive disease of the cmcam, with ulceration of the stomach ; and antimony given to a person labouring under chronic disease of this nature, would be liable to B o cause great exhaustion, and accelerate a termination.fatal n estimating able the How far that acceleration occurred he e t p i en s I t t an}while a person e r she n to say, not having seen the deceased e e c e e s a sa s i e rlly, d n leiffveecd; of l think it medicines would ,e be du should have an opportunity of watching the progressive nature of the symptoms. Any answer which I could give on that point would be purely speculative. By Mr. Cobb—l think the symptoms might more or less be produced by the disease which I have heard described, from the diseased condition of the body, and ulceration of the stomach. 1 agre with Dr. Cameron that diarrhcea is a more prominent symptom of a dis eased ccecum, and that ulceration of the stomach is attended with vomiting. But the difficulty which I have here to aceount for is the presence of antimony in the matter vomited. The tartar emetic would irritate the mucous membrane; and, if frequently repeated, it might cause inflammatory redness in the stomach and bowels. I do not remember a case mentioned by the chemist Trosseau, where one grain of tartar emetic caused the loss of sight to a dog. Dr. Cameron was examined as to the cause of death. He said the immediate cause of death was from perforation of the diseased bowel ; but from the rAdipg of antimony in the matters vomited during lire, and in ipatters passed from the bowels during life, together with the eynaPtOms ender which the deceased laboured, and the extent to which antimony was found in the body after death, I am of opinion that . her death was accelerated by the administration of some preparation of antimony during life. It is my impres sion that 0":4 Would not have died so soon but for the administration of antimony.disease der which te l 4i l she suffered would, in'the long run, have been fatal. It was impossible for her to have recovered. I super intended the post mortem examination. The presence of antimony would depend upon the time that had elapsed since the last administration, . . Dr. Taylor to Mr. Cobb—Antimony, in an absorbed state, may remain in the system as a metal for a period of four or five weeks. I have never found it more than from fifteen days to three weeks. It was a question much debated at f'4lr4ef§ t;*. If it be tine tildt , this WoMan' had 'not lived fourteen days after the last administration of antimony, then I should ,not expect to find such appearance as if she had taken a dm immediately previous to her death, Assuming that the antimony was given in this case fourteen day 3 previous to her death, it might well be that it accelerated death; that wonld d e p er id u p on the exhaustion-,rthe prostration of the body; produced by OW dose or 'loses administered. • Clarenee Pemberton,. house surg eon at the Southern Hoasio.jo pitaalt—rtl piaae heard Dr. Cameron describ e t h e post mortem ex by me in his presence, a n d I ent i re l y n agree with the description given by him of it. I had seen the deceased before her death, but had not pre scribed for her. After the post mortem examination, I sealed the viscera in jars. I have heard the evidence of the chemical gentlemen as to finding antimony. I attribute death to the rupture of the ccecum, accelerated by the administration of antimony. I form that judg ment based on their facts. By Mr. Cobb—The disease under which the woman laboured was sufficient to produce the symptoms from what I saw myself; malignant disease of the stomach and bowels often produces death by exhaustion. Inspector William Born—On Sunday morning, the 10th of June, I went with Dr. Cameron to Mrs. James's house. Dr. Cameron went first into the bedroom, and I shortly followed. I took possession of eight bottles ; five labelled Williams, chemist, and one Costine and Dyson. I also took possession of two cups containing a portion of sago—cooked. The prisoner was not present at the time. Mrs. James made a statement to me about the sago in the cup. There might have been other empty cups in the room which I did not take away. I sealed them up and delivered them to Mr. Featherson, the police storekeeper ; and on the 13th of June I got the cups with the sago, and one of the bottles contain ing wine, which I delivered to Dr. Edwards, at his laboratory. On the 13th I saw Winslow at the Police court. He had been informed by Dr. Cameron that poison had been given to Mrs. James, and that I wanted to see him. The following day, at the Detective office, I asked him who had been in the habit of preparing food for Mrs. James, and attending to her, and he made a statement, which I took down in writing and then read it ever to him, but I have not got it. I saw him nearly every day after that, and he made some statements criminating Mr. Cafferata. He said he had a strong suspicion of Mrs. Cafferata's husband, because he was the son of a chemist, and was in the habit of carrying white powders in his pockets. On the 10th June I took possession of some prepared sago, and delivered it on the 16th to Dr. Edwards. On the 23rd June I took the prisoner into custody at the house 18, Vauxhall road. I told him that I was taking him on suspicion of having administered antimony to Mrs. James in sago, which I told him had been analysed by Dr. Edwards, who had found antimony in it. He said, " I made the sago and took it up at five o'clock that morning, but I put no antimony it. I know the use of antimony; I have given it to cattle ; but have not used it for the last eighteen years." I searched the room. In the drawer in the table found the form of a will. He said he bought it with the intention of making Mrs. James's will himself, but he had recollected that it would have to go through the probate court, and then sent for an attorney, who made it out. He showed me another locked drawer, where he said the will was kept, and also £55 in gold, a gold watch and chain. On Sunday, ,June 24th, 1 made an enquiry at the Hospital, and found that the deceased was dead. On the 25th, having obtained the key from the pectict of deceased, I went to the drawer, found £25 in gold ; a bank book, for £135 ; a receipt for £lOO paid for four £25 shares in the Liverpool Gas Company; a gold watch and chain, and Mrs. James's will, all of which are now produced. I received from Dr. Edwards, on the 9th July, three bottles, Labe:led Mr 2. games, Nybich I conveyed to Dr. Taylor, in London, the following morning. On the 24th July I took to Dr. Edwards thie six bottles, con taining medicine, found in the room. I found the pre scriptions marked A to G, which I now produce. By Mr. Cobb—l wrote down the exact words of the prisoner, and read it over. I did not ask him to sign it, nor did he refuse to write his name. I cut his trousers pocket o4t. Francis Featherson—l am a clerk in the Central Police-office. On the 10th of June Inspector Horn brought me a number of jars, sealed up. I locked them up, and retained them until the Wednesday following. George Milland, cashier at the Liverpool Gas Co.'s office, said In September last, the prisoner attended a sale of gas and bought four shares, paying a deposit of InNay last he called at the office, and wanted to know how the shares might be transferred to his name, as Mrs. James was very ill, and not likely to recover, and she wished the shares to be transferred. I asked him if she had made a will. He replied no ; and then I told him that it might be done by will or the ordinary transfer, but the matter being a question of law, J mist refer him to Mr. J. B. Lloyd, our attorney. John Henry Hugo, chief clerk in the Liverpool Bold street Savings Bank, said the deceased, at her death, had £133 12s. 4d., including interest, in the bank. This was her bank-book. Elizabeth Kemble, wife of Hugh Ketnble, hair-dresser, Wood-street East, Low-hill, formerly a resident of Maryhone—l remember the prisoner being, five years ago, in my shop in Naryhone. My husband and he were in conversation : my hnsband * saut he knew every thing that world take life : putting charcoal fire in the grate was one way, and stopping up all the holes, and that would deceive all the doctors in the town. The prisoner answered by saying that he knew of a better thing than that, if it was not administered all at once. I did not hear the prisoner say what it was. My hus band asked him what he wanted it for. He said he was annoyed by a lot cf cats that came over the wall. My husband is in America. Ido 'not carry the barber ing business on in his absence. I recollect it well, because it was the time Townshend came home from being a soldier. I saw Martin Townshend last night. Edward Pryce Rees—l am an assistant in the che mists gm of Mr. Miller, Tithebarn-street. I know the prisoner ; he has been in the habit of buying some household things at our shop. I believe that the pri soner called at our shop for antimony about four or five months since, but I should not like to swear to it. I refused to sell any to the party that called. An old woman called for antimony seven or, eight months ago ; but he could not say whether she asked for pantimony or antimony. Mr. Cobb—Do you know what antimony and panti mony mean ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Cobb—What is antimony ? Witness—Antimony. Mr. Cobb—That will do. Do you know what panti mony is ? Witness—No sir. I knew Samuel Townshend. saw him a few weeks previoy to his death. Mr. Cobb—That will do , you are a clever tdiuw that will do. Mr. Aspinall—That is the case for the prosecution. Mr. Cobb admitted that there were some slight grounds for committing the prisoner for trial, and he therefore reserved the defence for the assizes, when the prisoner would be represented by gentlemen far better able to deal with the case than he was personally. Mr. Rallies--Thc prisoner is committed for trial. The court rose about six o'clock. LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.- • YETERDAY. (Before Mr. P. H. RATRBONE.) Mr. Rathbone sat yesterday for Mr. Raffles, who was engag e d in hearing the case df Winslow in another court. CAUTION TO COACH-DRIVERS. Thomas Winterburgh, a driver in the employment of Messrs. Busby, was charged by Police-officer 5;5, who said he saw the prisoner driving a mourning-coach and two spirited horses in Preseot-street the previous evening. Ile was drunk, and not able to manage the horses; and if he had not taken him and secured the horses, no doubt mischief would have taken place. Mr. Rathbone censured the conduct of the prisoner, and fined him ss. and costs. A JUVENILE JOHN GILPIN. A good-looking, well-dressed youth (about narired Jas. Knowles, described as a grocer at Birkenhead, was brought tip by Police-officer Carroll 22S on the following charge :--He said on Sunday evening he heard great shouting in London,road, and on going to ascertain the cause he saw the prisoner on a horse, going at a furious and dangerous pace, and he was lash ing the horse as hard as he could. Witness, seeing the danger bath to himself and the public, went into the road and called on the prisoner to stop ; but instead of doing so he urged the horse more, and nearly ran over him. He dashed down Shaw's-brow, and into the Old Haymarket, several people having narrowly escaped being knocked down and injured. The officer followed, calling out to him to stop, but lie refused to do so; and at last another officer came up and made an effort to stop him, 'Then the prisoner endeavoured to run the horse over both of them. A crowd collected, and the prisoner was eventually stoppeci Mr. Rathbone: Wits he drank? sir. Prisoner : I was 'not ; I only had one glass of bitter ale at Childwall Abbey. The officer said the prisoner had given 16s. for the horse for a day's "out," and if he had not stopped him he would have killed some one or himself. The prisoner was fined ss. and costs. STEALING SACKS. • A man named Martin. White was charged for having stolen eighty bags from the Bramley-Moore Dock. Some belonged to a ship, some to Messrs. Maxwell, and some to the Messrs. Segar. It appeared that the prisoner was in the employment of Messrs. Hastings and Andrews, who bad corn on board the ship S. E. Smith, and he was engaged at the vessel looking after the delivery of the corn, and whilst so engaged he was seen by Mr. Joseph Waterhouse to pack up the bags, take them away, and secrete them. Mr. Black, for the prisoner, endeavoured to show that his client had been mistaken in ta'k'ing the bags for those belonging to his en.ployers, but some witnesses who were exam i ne d P ut a different construction on the case ; and the prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sent for trial, as he was convicted before. (Before Messrs. T. RATRBONY: and H. HORNRY.) A GIANTESS ! Kate B . attersby, a powerful-looking, rather elderly femal,e, whose figure resembled a good field l,ir-4Lici, was charged by James.Greaney; a thin, ladder-looking fellow, for having assaulted him. Bluck was for the complainant, and Mr. Parker for the giantess. The parties reside in Ormond-street ; e nd op the evening of the 21st, complainant and his wife were returning from market. When they met Mrs, Battersby, the complainant had a doll in his hand, and intended to make a present of it to his baby, when the defendant made some remark about it, and then complainant laughed in her face, and she in return slapped his face, for which she was fined 2s. Gil. and costs. (Before Messrs. RATHLONE an 4 L. PEEL.) ASSAULT WITII 9 gLING. Thomas Martin was charged by 4aut,s Cason, for having assaulted hilr, With cling-shot. a Mr. Blue defended. On Saturday night there was a row in Queen-square, in which the parties were engaged, and, as it was proved by two witnesses, the assault was committed by the pnsoner, who inflicted a smart wound on the forehead of the prosecutor. Mr. Bluck endeavoured to show that the parties were ini:Acten in tare identity of the prisoner ; but the mag;istrites• cretited' the e-,:i4ence for the pyc.sect4ti,;l4 and Ewa the prisoner £3, or Otl,e month's impriso.4lalent.

REVIEW OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE RIFLE VOLUNTEERS, AT NEWTON-LE WILLOWS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1860. The Ist Brigade will be drawn up as follows : The Artillery Division, No. 2 Manchester Regiment and No. 3 Manchester Regiment, will be drawn up in line (deployed), fronting the straight course. The Ist Manchester regiment will be formed in quarter distance column right in front, twenty-five paces in rear of the centre of the deployed line, to act as an independent battalion, and cover the change of front in light infantry order. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Brigades will form a second line, and be drawn up in a line of contiguous columns at quarter distance, with intervals of six paces between each battalion. In this order the Lieut.-General Sir George Wether all, commanding the northern and midland district, will be received with a general salute, according to regula tion. A change of front will then be effected. Preparatory to this movement, the two centre companies of the 2nd Manchester Regiment will wheel outwards, and the Ist Manchester Regiment will advance through the opening. The instant the Ist Manchester Regiment clears the line, these two companies will be wheeled backwards, and the change of front will be commenced on the right and left centre companies of the 2nd Manchester Regi ment in line. The Artillery Division and the 3rd Manchester Regiment will effect this change of front in quarter distance columns, and deploy when wheeled into the new direction. The Ist Manchester Regiment will cover this movement in light infantry order. Simultaneously with the cha►Age of front by the first line the second, third, and fourth brigades will then be put in motion; the Ist battalion advancing to its front, the remainder taking ground to the right by fours, and fol lowing in succession, forming in a mass of columns on the leading battalion, and then wheel into a line of con tiguouS columns. When the second line has completed this wheel, the 3rd Brigade will advance the depth of the right battalion, and deploy into line on the centre company of the centre battalion. When the 3rd Brigade is clear of the second line, the 2nd and 4th Brigades will close inwards by fours to the regulated distance of contiguous columns at quarter distance. The lines will then advance for a short distance, and be halted preparatory to the relief of the first line by the second. This will be effected by the Ist Brigade passing from the right of companies by fours to the rear. When clear of the 3rl Brigade, the Ist Brigade will be halted and fronted, forming open columns or com panies right in front, which will be immediately wheeled into line. The deployed lines will then break into open columns or companies right in front ; the 3rd Brigade will close to quarter distance upon the rear companies of its respective Battalion, and afterwards close in the centre Battalion in mass. The let Brigade will close to quarter distance on the leading companies of battalions, and then close on the leading battalions in mass, and afterwards take ground to the left by fours, and form in mass in front of the 3rd. Brigade. _ . _ The 2nd and 4th Brigades wilt advance by battalions from the left, by the left battalion advancing to the front, the remainder taking ground to the left by fours, and turning to the front in succession after the left bat talion. When the left battalion of the 4th Brigade reaches the flank of the mass formed by the Ist and 3rd Brigades, it will wheel to the right and fbrm in mass upon the battalion in its front, the remaining battalions conforming to this inoTement in, succession. . . . The istManchester Regiment will, in the meantime be collected in battalion, and formed in rear of the mass of columns. The mass of columns will then be wheeled to the right, into line simultaneously. The review will be concluded by:the battalions mareh ing past in open column of companies. The yeomanry cavalry, under the command of Sir Robert Gerard, will be formed in a position that will be pointed out by the assistant quarter-.Tna4ter general, and will take part in the movements as directed by Colonel Shadwell. " THE TIPPERARY MAN " IN SEARCH OF HIS WIFE ! Tipperary men are famous all the world over, and Tipperary women are famous, too, for—their fine classic figures and beautiful faces. Now, is a famous place is Tipperary—nearly as famous as the town of neat Clogheen, where Sergeant Snap slipped a shilling into the heel of Paddy Carey's fist and " listed him for a soger." And it came to pass, as'very like it did, that near to the foresaid town there dwelt a young gentleman, named Mr. Micky Cane, a hard-working, industrious, honest "boy," on whose head some four and-twenty springs. surutfiel, au tumns, a n d winters, had shed their sun s hi ne an d their snows, but there was no visible effect of either on the fine, broad, and manly brow of the Micky aforesaid. That mischievous scoundrel, Dan Cupid, about three years ago, was On a tour of pleasure through Tipperary; for it is a fact that the urchin visits that country in his peregrinations. He looked at Mister Cane through the Irish-diamond eyes of one Peggy Shea, and although Mick had been attacked several times with sticks and stones, and other weapons, he was never subdued before. A Russian cannon, nor a Sikh rifle bullet, would not have made such a hole in the left side of his breast as one glance of Miss Peggy's orbs, for They'd mile glisters on one's heart p4t hat's a trick of nature, And not the fault of Peggy's eyes, The darling ;Luckey creature! And many a pliant hour Mick took to whisper soft non sense in the neatly-sculptured ear of the darling Peggy; for he told her about Ruckshins at elections, And faction fights in country fairs, Which won the maids' elections And sq she ioved hint for the dangers he had past, and he loved her, not for the money that she might get as a fortune, for he preferred her to all the gold at Ballarat, or the richness of the Golconda mines. At last the happy day came, and the village bells of Killenaule spoke as plainly as bells could speak that Mickey and Peggy were joined, never to part, until that fell ser geant, Death, with his old scythe, would cut the gordian kuot that was so strongly tied by Father O'Flaherty. Days of bliss, hoviever, are like the visits of the ethereals, "short and far between;" for thirty six moons had not nightly gone their circled orbs until a change passed visibly over the fair face of Mrs. Cane. How did it happen? Did she prove false to Mick ? No ; for once a Tipperary girl pledged her faith, she clings to the object of her affections like the ivy to his friend the old oak tree, or the ruined castle tower. That Peggy had a sister at home, and Peggy bad a siter abroad in the land of stars and stripes,' and the latter wrote to the sister in graphic and glowing terms of that land of liberty and slavery, and sent money to the sister with the view of getting her out there. Ti l e sister having great influence on Mrs. Cane induced her to leave her husband's rout, and by the aid of a modern innovation, on Sunday, called a railway—a mysterious affair, carried on by a chemical amalgamation of coal and water—both flew away from Killenaule quicker than people used to run away from the plague. Oh ! happy days! there never was any luck since the time we used to travel fourteen miles in fifteen hours on the top of vehicles called the " Flying Clog," and such other names, indicative of swiftness ; when le payed the "game of the read," ?or elandifs df PMich,. and gqt dow4 at least at seven public-houses in every three miles—bat, alas, tempura mutantur When poor Cane went home that evening, the warm smile of fair Peggy met him not—no children ran to lisp their sire's return —the door was locked—all was a blank and dreary mystery, and Peggy was nowhere to be found. He sought her that night and he sought her next day, and he might have sought her till the day of judgment, but would never have found her about the loved haunts of their play. At last a neighbour not only raised the veil from before poor Mick's eyes ; but she restored him two "articles" tha l t had , been entrusted to her by Mrs. Cane--one of these was prized by Mick next to Peggy, and that was nothing less than his last " baby," aged ten months—the other was the key of the door ! Poor Mick ! he felt very ranch like that ancient lady whose habitation was In a shoe, And had so many cilildren She didn't know what to do. 'Twas even so with honest Cane; he never looked at his thrash-bag —the substitute for a Milner's safe —to try whether it was in a state of plethora or not, and then he cudgeled his brains, when the truth flashed on his mind, and his determination was at once Axed. What is good for the goose, it is laid'down, is also good for the male bird of that gabbling community, and so the means that enabled Peggy to "levant," enabled her spouse to, follow her. It is now only about a hop-step-and-jump from Tipperary to Dublin, and once there tidings were soon obtained of Mrs. Cane. Love lent Micky counsel, and in return he obliged the young gentleman with a pair of "peepers," as it is a well-known fact that the juvenile deity is said to want optics, and so he came to Liver pool, and after due and diligent search sure enough he found her on board a ship in the river, bound for New York, the companion of her flight being her sister ! Prayers and tears were tis ,,, d, in y a i n ; coaxing and threatening, and, the recollections of the olden times, were fo'rcihly urged, but all to no use. Wowing de'Sciiptions of the misery` cif the two children were placed in vivid colours before the eyes of Mrs. Qane, but these failed to move her—cruel Peggy ! Now there is a gentleman named Mr. Kehoe, a chief super intendent of police, who locates in Dale-street, and this gentleman is a sort of Judas Maccabttus, tlAt.c.cincuers all opposition. Mr. Case tol t d Mricehoe his story, an d M. - 1 liehoe liSteue4 with'attention, and llis good-natured Oar( could not help feelitig tnr " The Tipperary Man." Nov Mr, Kehoe had read Coke upon: Littleton ; knew Blackstone from cover to cover ; had over one thousand times heard the eloquent Mr. Bluck descant c7.1" . - t, ,r it: 4 4 Law :" he knows all the acts passed 'fibirti the days Of Williamßufus, down to 'die . benign reign of Victoria 'ate' Firet ; but yet in all these Lycurguses he failed to discover any precedent that would enable him to act legally in the restoration of Mrs. Cane to her sorrowing partner. Glorious Constitution this where a woman can run away from her hus band, provided she does not run off with another man, and when in splendid contra-distinction to this liberty, if a man, in the heat of passion, or the madness of drink, or the rage of jealousy gives his run away wife a tap on the jaw, he is sure to get three months on the " mill" for such innocent recreation ! Some great lawyer, no matter who, has said he could shove a coach and six, with eighteen outside passengers, through any act of parliament that ever got the royal assent, either by sign manual or commission, and so Mr. Behoe thought too. He cogitated for some time and then gave certain instructions to that prudent and respected officer, Mr. Cozens, the crier of the police court, and he, fvtified with the moral law, went on board the ship, 'gild by his blandness, he succeeded in cozing on shore with Mrs. Cane who met her husband at the Police-office, Dale-street. The feelings of other days came fresh and gushing, like a spring tide, over the heart. of Peggy, and, with a wild shriek, she dropped into the outstretched arms of her darling Micky. It is needless to make our reader's eyes feel in the melting mood, because there were tears enough shed, and broken sobs enough heard, in the room of that temple of Justice in Dale-street, on the memorable occasion. The last act, and scene, comes now before us. Messrs. Grim shaw, in whose ship Peggy had embarked, with a degree of kind benevolence that merits praise, on the facts being made known to them, at once returned the passage money; and poor Cane having gone on his knees beside his wife, both showered benedictions nn Mr. Kehoe's " honour," and promised to remember him and the Messrs. Grimshaw in their matins and enrf , Tv orisons, all the days of their lives; and thus they returned to Killenaule, and if they don't live happy hereafter, that we all may. HOW OUGHT THE £9,000,000 TO BE RAISED i The unanimity with which the defence proposals of Lord Palmerston have been recived is expected to pre clude any prolonged discussion of them. The only point for difference of opinion will be as to the manner in which the requisite £9,000,000 is to be raised. We are asked to select between Consols and Terminable Annuities. As to the relative advantages of the respec tive methods there can theoretically be no difference of of opinion. Every prudent person in contracting a debt would lay the foundation for its redemption, and, if possible, by, a . process that should effect it in an automatic manner, and occasion him no further concern. It is this that can be achieved by termi nable annuities. Of course consols can be redeemed also by an annual provision, and at an average market price, which would involve as much chance of gain as of loss ; but it is felt that if this provision is left dependent on the occurrence of a surplus, or upon special sums being voted from time to time, it will most likely he neglected. By terminable annuities, at all events, we avoid both trouble and uncertainty. But the question, is, are the conditions of choice equal ? Even if they are not, it would be worth while to incur some moderate sacrifice to gain the conveniences which one form of loan presents over the other. The general view has been that the sacrifice required would be moderate. The discussions already raised on the subject, however, have not been favourable to that conclusion, and in the Stock Exchange and the city the opinion unquestionably is that the difference between the coat of a loan in Terminable Annuities and in Consols would be far beyond anything that would be justified even by the advantages which the former are admitted to possess. The majority of experienced capitalists seem to believe that there will be no dis position to subscribe for the proposed thirty years'. Annuities at terms which, after allowing a due provision to replace the principal, will yield the holders less than 31 per cent. per annum. Console, on the other hand, they would take at a price to yield only about 34 per cent. The nation, therefore, would pay a difference of nearly one-half per cent. on the entire loan for the full period, and would find at the end of the transac tion that they had actually disbursed almost £2,000,000 more than they would have been required to pay if the £9,000,000 had been borrowed in consols, and a sinking fund had been established for their extinc tion at that date. Even the present value of an annuity of a half pat cent. per annum OR £9,000,000 for thirty years would be about £850,000. So that the actual and immediate cash loss would amount to that sum. It may, perhaps, be contended that the tenders will be far more favourable than has thus been assumed; but that is a point which, unfor tunately, can be determined only by actual eueriment. It must be remembered not -merely that Consols com mand, from their superior marketability, a higher price than any other security, but that they possess the advantage over Annuities of being free from liability to unjust pressure of the Income-tax. Those who subscribe for Annuities must not only calculate the weight of the existing tax—they mast assume its continuance, and also the probability of its increase ; and as uncertainty is one of the most expensive elements in financial affairs, the insurance exacted against this contingency will be heavy, especially as it is found that no pledge from any Minister on the subject can be relied upon. True, it may be urged that as only a small portion of the £9,000,000 is to be raised immediately, the chance of getting a good price fox it will be proportionably increased; but the dealers know that a small loan in an exceptional stook implies a narrow market, and that very adverse calculations must be made on that account. For this reason the Turkish 4 per cent. loan, guaran teed by the English Government, may be bought at nearly par. Finally, it is to be reared that while the moral argument is altogether in favour of Terminable. Annuities when there is anything like a fair choice in comparison with Consols, it is unequivo cally against them if they are to involve an extortionate sacrifice. There is a vast difference between the bor rower who seizes every goad opportunity of giving smoothness and stability to his future plans, and one who feels that his want of firmness and self-control is such that there will be no chance of his fulfilling a future duty, unless he, ties himself down at once and at it,n3: cost. The public, therefore, must remember that among the sacrifices which Terminable Annuities may necessitate the national character is more or less concerned. If we cannot trust ourselves to exer cise such economy as is expedient, and to make with punctuality any annual provision we may haCe agreed to be desirable, unless there is some contrivance to render a violation of the plan impossible, we are but like children with a money-box. Qur statesmen may act down, to this low estimate, or take the bolder course of encouraging the nation to assert a higher capacity. Unquestionably all financial authorities would view with regret a necessity far borrowing on the dearest terms as a consequence of a condition so irrational. Moreover, it is impossible not to apprehend that the rigid virtue which terminable annuities are supposed to possess in enforcing an extinction of debt is more apparent than real. A nation is not to be deceived into economy, and if it is resolved to spend money, the money will be borrowed in ane way or another, or existing liabilities will he ppstponed, in the face of all previous eontrivAncee to, the contrary. We have seen both Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Gladstone renewing the Exchequer Bonds, which were created on onerous terms in order that we might be compelled to ex tinguish them at a specific date ; and this exhi bition flir more than counterbalanced all the fine moral felicitations with which these securities were originally introduced. On the whole, there can be little doubt that Consols now constitute our true - financial resource. Notwithstanding the magnitude of their amount, we may comfort ourselves with the reflection that in their burden they represent little more than half the annual sum that other nations, unable to borrow at less than 6 or 6 per cent., would he compelled to pay ; that this burden is being largely, although im perceptibly, redaeed year by year through the gold dis coveries,and that during the past generation such portions of the national revenue as might have been appropriated to their reduction have been given up to the much better purpose of putting our commerce into a position to com mand the world, and thus of producing an augmentation of national wealth which, could the total be laid before us, would make our debt appear, if not a "flea-bite,'? a matter upon which even the most anxious, of mu econo mists might look without anxiety.

Embellished with 500 Descriptive Engravings. Loudon : " Ward and Lock, 158, Fleet-street. This is well-named a " Treasury," for we do not know any w or k o f th e ki n d so re pl e te with sterling knowledge and education for the young, or which would form so appropriate a present for thoughtful lads. Such a gift would be the crowning delight of their Midsummer holidays. It is in fact five or six books in one,—the first department being devoted to a familiar explana tion of at least the rudiments of science ; the second and third seek to refine the mind through the medium of the eye, and give detailed instructions as to drawing and painting. The fourth treats of some of the principal constructive wonders of the world; the fifth of rural affairs ; and the sixth is devoted to a sketch of the habits of the wild and domesticated animals.

With numerous illustrations. London : Ward and Lock, 158, Fleet -street. We took up this volume with a vague fear or misgiving that its object might be to puff up the virtues of some particular spa ; but we must can didly confess that in this we did the author grievous injustice,:and that on opening it we were agreeably mistaken. It is a work, indeed, of a much more ambitious character, and one calculated, as a guide, to be of the highest service to tourists and invalids. The author, in the preface, says :—" Some what strange is it that, with railroads and steam boats crowded all summer long, with roads thronged by tourists, and with winter residences sought by invalids without number, there is yet no popular work upon the subject of health resorts generally, to which reference can be made. Local guide books there are in abundance, and purely profes sional works, such as the standard ' by Sir James Clarke, and the less technically-written volumes of Dr. Edwin Lees ; but we are not aware of any book which those intending to be on the move, either for health or pleasure, can take up and say, Let us see where we shall go.' The following little work is intended, in some degree, to supply this want ;"—and this, we may add, it does admirably. Every place of sanatory note throughout England and Scotland receives critical attention,---the advantages presented by each to the health-seeker or invalid are candidly com pared; and throughout the work many valuable hints and cautions, such as might be expected from a well-informed medical adviser, are given. We look upon the cautions in respect to the too indiscriminate use of sea bathing as especially valuable. A work of this character could not be issued at a more appropriate season, and we do not doubt that it will enjoy an e x t ens i ve sale. i LIFE IN THE SEA ; or, the Nature and Habits of Marine Animals. Written and Compiled by Lascelles Wraxall. London : Houilston and Wright, 65, Paternoster-row, The wonders of the deep will never be ex hausted, and the writings of Gosse and others have opened up to ug a new and delightful world of inquiry in the study of the natural history of the submarine kingdom. Every object of interest receives attention in this careful compilation by Mr. Wraxall, of the wonders of old Ocean ; the scheme of the work, including a comprehensive review of the more remarkable species of marine plants, as well as extended notices of the almost countless yaxioty of fishes and other forms of animal life which people the deep. Aquatic birds also enjoy attention. The book, which has been got up in a cheap form, is very neatly printed, and profusely illustrated with wood-cuts. ,iporting 1-titelligence.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE (Before Mr. Baron Channell.) VENNER V. PARTRIDGE. This was an action to recover damages for breach of promise of marr i age. The plaintiff was a young woman in humble circumstances, aged about 30, and the defendant was a farmer of good position, residing at Netheridge, i n th e north of Devon. The ' plaintiff went to live with the defendant's father when she was 16 years of age, as a domestic servant. Shortly after wards he paid her a good deal of attention, and she was induced, it was alleged, to abandon her engagement with another young man on the defendant promising to marry her on his father's death. The defendant kept her company for some time, and ultimately he seduced her, and took lodgings for her. She was confined, and during her confinement the defendant visited her, behaved affectionately to her, and repeated his promise of marriage. This was ten years ago, and the plaintiff had ever since waited, in hopes that the defendant would fulfil his promise. He had not done so, but a short time ago had married a Miss finish. The learned counsel for the plaintiff said she had letters from the defendant, but that she had destroyed them. He called several witnesses, however, who said they heard the defendant make the alleged promise. For the defendant, Sir F. Slade made an energetic and amusing speech, contending that there was no real proof that the promise of marriage had ever been made. His Lordship having summed up, The jury consulted for some time, and being unable to agree, they were lock e d u p. After an absence of twenty minutes they returned i n t o court with a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £lOO. TAMES STEWART AND CO.
