she was very ill and weak, and meant to take ',—
herself if she was ill again. She had periodicalreharp
pains. She said, " Sosae powder I received, was so
horrible in smell I could not use it, and I sent it back
when I sent the P. 0.0. The other drug I poured
away and broke the bottle. I had never seen the

Daily Telegaaph." Witness found a quantity of writ
similar to that in the letter in the room.
Mr. John Gordon Mainwaring, surgeon, proved that
the prisoner Vance was occasionally employed by him
as locum, tenens. Witness had a very high opinion of
him. The visits paid by prisoner Snee to the Post.
office in Kentish-town and to the Post-office in Ever-
sholt-street for the Post-office order were proved by
witnesses.
Mr. Poland then asked for a remand, which VMS
granted, Mr. Vaughan saying he would take two sure-

been exhibited in the Regent's Park. Most, no doubt,
of these creatures are familiar objects enough to that
large section of the public which is fond of visiting zoo-
logical gardens and menageries. Tigers, leopards. bears,
antelopes and elephants we have all of us seen over and
over again. The Prince, however, has in his collection
the first specimens of the Deccan aog which-lave yet,
we believe, been shown alive in this country. The tiny
elephant, also, although to the ordinary eye he looks,
except in size, as much like other elephants as one pea
;jice_ another, will, no doubt, furnish material for
many le:`..leued papers. He is believed to be a specimen
of the dwarf elephant of Nevaul, which never reaches
a greater height than five feet, and which zoologists are
inclined to consider identical with the pigmy elephant
the remains of which are found in the bone caves of
Gibraltar, We may add that the wild cat is as savage
as most others of its kind, and is thoughtby competent
judges to be of a species not hitherto described.

The Jumna, Indian troopship, which arrived slow:-
side Portsmouth Dockyard on Monday with-invalids
and time•expired men, brings home another contingent
of the gifts presented to the Prince of Wales during
his Indian journey. There are many cases containing
botanical specimens collected in India for the Prince by
Mr. Mudd, and a large number of specimens of wood
cut from different trees. The animals consist of four
horses, chiefly hill ponies, several deer, a wild boar,
four hairless dogs, and several birds. The animals
were in charge of Mr. Bartlett, son of Mr. Bartlett of
the Zoologioal Gardens, and will be remeved direct
to Sandringham. :A keeper from Sandringham was in
attendance on the arrival of the ship to take °barge of
the animals during the transit. Several visitors in-
spected the collection before its removal.

EXECUTION AT BELFAST;
John Daly, aged, thirty-five, a coal-porter, was
executed bn Wednesday morning in Belfast- gaol,
,for
the murder of Margaret Whitley, in Belfast, in
September last. The murdered woman was an at

prisoner was his own daughter, a girl about twelve
years of age. She stated that her father came home
intoxicated, and finding Margaret Whitley lying in
the house partly drunk, he ordered her to leave, and
on her refusing Daly seized a stool and struck her,
whereupon the little girl fled to the house of a neigh.
bour and did not return that night. On the folloiving
morning Whitley's body was discoTered almost w' -
out clothes and presenting marks of great viol
near Daly's house. The convict walked firmly to
scaffold and died quietly. He made no confession.
