ITALY.

The Turin jlurnnls of the 10th have braught the
reclaims-ion of the provisional government of Lom-
esdly, dtclaring the result of the suffrages of the
people on the question of the proposed annexation of
Lombardy to Piedmont. It appears that wore
661,002 votes fcr immediate annexation, and
641 votes fur the postponement of the ques-
eke Vll the termination of the war. The pro-
vincial government having announced this result says:
yrm have accomplished an act of great
Pr'enee; you Lave laid the foundations of an
edifice at %Lich we have laboured for so many ages,
esd which our time will see erected upon the solid
Lasts' of the glory and the eternal force of the entire
nation..

Thegortrnment then announces that a commission
Las beca appointed to communicate on this subject

-

with the King of Sardinia and the chambers to ob-
tain their areent to the measure. The proclamation
is dated Milan, the Bth Mat. The delegates of the
Provisional Government had already left for Turin.
Letters from Turin may that, in consequence of the
annexation of Lombardy, the chambers will be im-
mediately dissolved. It is expected that a constituent
assembly will be convoked at Milan.
General Pepe arrived on the 6th at Ferrara, having
only with him two small battalions of Neapolitan
volunteers, composed of lauarooi, and a battery of
artillery. All the other troops had returned.
It seems certain that the loss of the Italians in the
affair of Goito was much more considerable than they
have stated. The Piedmontese and Tuscans lost
1,500 killed and wounded.

INQUEST, YESTERDA7.--BUPPOSED POISONING.-
A report having been spread that a farmer, named George
Bourne, who died on the 30th of March last, had met his
death other than by natural causes, Mr. Wakley held an in-
quest at Hare&ld. The deceased occupied a farm at Batts-
worth-heath, in the parish of llarefield. On the 26th of
March, having partaken of a hearty dinner at his own re-
sidence, be went with a cousin, named Richard Andrews, to
the " Lover's True Knot" hem-shop, at Northwood, kept
by a person named Weatherley, whose daughter de.
ceased woo shortly about to marry. They stayed there a
considerable time, during which they drank between them
three pints of beer, and each smoked a clear. On their return
home dccea►ed called in at the "Leather Bottle," kept
by a woman named Anne Mason, which house was
his own property. There they only had a pint of beer, and
each had another cigar. Before they got home Richard
Andrews was seized with sickness and retched very much,
which he attributed to his being bilious, and the cigar not
agreeing with him. Deceased, however, at that time felt no
inconvenience, and went to bed that night in bis usual good
state of health. About two o'clock the next (Monday)
morning he awoke feeling very ill, and was immediately
seized with violent vomiting, which continued all that day
and Tuesday. On the latter day a surgeon was sent for, but
the deceased expired early on Thursday morning. No sus-
picion was at first entertained that the deceased had not died
from natural causes, and the body was buried on the following
Sunday. Subsequent to the interment, the fact of both
the deceased, and ltichard Andrews helmg seized with vomit.
ing after drinking the ecr at the I,ather Bottle became the
sukject of conversation in the neighbourhood, and
ultimately led to an inquest.—A post »torrent ex-
amination was made, and evidence was taken at the in-
quest, which was adjourned until the result of an analysi►
of the contents of the decemod's stomach was ascertained.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBUROII, JAN. 20.
The local agitation regarding the new police and
sanitary bills for Edinburgh is still going on. 'lle
oratory against the measures is characteristic. At a
meeting of proprietors, one speaker summed up his
speech by comparing them (the bills) to a mod dog,
and proposing that the meeting should send the skin
of one of these animals to adorn the walls of the
council chamber, and to form a characteristic memento
to warn the collective wisdom therein assembled, that
they ought not to adopt such important measures
without in the first place fully ascertaining the senti-
ments of t',eir constituents. After this rhetorical
nwrreatt another party followed in a speech of great
length, in which he ridiculed many of the provisions
in the bills, and concluded by valiantly imploring the
meeting to adopt as their motto, "No surrender of
privileges to any man."
The anniversary of Burns' birth-day took place on
the 25th inst., and although it had wont to be a great
day in Scotland, it is now little attended to except in
Irvine, Ayr, and Dumfries. Lately a useless centre-
versy took place as to the morality of the poet, which
was excited by some depreciatory remarks advanced
in some periodical by the Rev. George Gilfillan, and
after the shedding of no little apologetic irk has again
been set at rest. In their heat the combatants ap-
peared to have lost sight of the real question at issue.
Granting the existence of questionable matter in
Burns, it wants that persistency of tone which
characterises similar passages in Byron and others of
a similar cast. As for Mr. Gilfillan—the defender of
Shelley was surely inconsistent in assailing the
ploughman poet.
It is supposed that there are upwards of 12,000
unemployed persons in Glasgow at present, and
serious considerations are beginning to obtrude them-
selves as to the means which ought to be employed
for the relief of so much destitution, which has
farther the appearance of increasing rather than
diminishing.

lie left the bank, he returned and presented another cheque
far 2511., purporting to be drawn by A. B. Plaisted, and
payable at the Aylesbury breach of the London and
being County
Bank, which he wished to have cubed, but on its re-
fused, he asked for a letter of credit on London d
at four days'
date, which was given him. Shosily dter, the ea clerk,
hearing something which made him suspect; that there was
something wrong in thews transactions, went to the railway
station, and on making inquiries, found that the prisoner
had ordered a special train to London, which had been in
readiness for him, but which he had ant availed himselt of. In
consequence of this, the head clerk proceeded to Abingdon
with the pre-
raid station, where he succeeded in meeting
soner, who had just arrived there in • with and gig from
Oxford. He won made him acquainted his ,and
succeeded in getting back the letter of credit, the cheque
book he had given him, and 211. out of the 301. which he had
drawn. The prisoner promised to pay the remaining 91. the
next day, as be said he should be in Oxford, andtee
for left his
his
great coat with theihead clerk as some guaran
doing so. Instead of this, however, he went on to Theme,
where he bought a gun, &c., amounting to 41.17 x., for which
he gave a cheque on Messrs. Robinson and Parsons' hank at
Oxford for 101., purporting to be drawn by J Ellison, in
favour of J. Field, whom he represented himself to be, stat-
ing, in addition, that he was brother to Mr. Field, of Little
Milton, who was a customer to the gunmaker. The prisoner
succeeded in drawing the difference between the cheque and
the bill for the gun, &c., amounting to 61. 35., and w henthe
cheque was sent to Oxford it was returned, no such person as
Mr. Ellison having any account there. In consequenceof this,
the gunmaker went in pursuit of the prisoner, who was
taken into custody at Berkhampstrad, and in the meantime
a cheque-book of Messrs. Robinson and Parsons' was picked
up on the road, with which the cheque paid to the gum:maker
exactly fitted. Sir E. Filmer was examined, and denied
having written any such cheque as the one produced while
the r of the Aylesbury and Buckinghamshire branch
banks denied having any account in the name of A. B.
Plaisted or W. Taylor. The gunmaker, Tomlinson, of
'theme, and several other witnesses were called, who awl),
established the charges against the prisoner. Mr. Cooke
appeared for the prisoner, and cross-examined the witnesses,
hut declined making any defence.—The judge recapitulated
the evidence, and the jury, without any hesitation, returned
a verdict of Guilty. Sentence was deferred, as there are
several other similar cases egged the prisoner.

A NEW MODE OP TEAVELLI NO PEE RAIL.—The eel%
vents at the General Station at Dundee have much difiletfity
in getting the *tattle put into trucks, particularly Highland
stock which have never been under cover. In loading ono
of these last week, a fine Argyleshire Mot, after having his
fore legs in, was startled by an engine whistle at his ear, sad
making a desperate leap cleared the truck and dialled up the
line to the General Station. His first mark was a points-
man, stooping with his back inwards the animal, which
pitched him forwards, but tortuaately was untouched by his
horns. He then tore onwards to 'the station, where his
approsch num d great sensatiJn, and speedily every guard,
driver, and porter, were on the roof of every available car-
riage. The agility displayed on this occasion was much to
the satisfaction of the superintendent, who purposes an occa-
sional visit of the same kind with a view of practising the
servants in celerity of movement; and judging from the first
lesson he thinks that, like new hand writing, it might be
proficiently acquired in three lemons. Onward, however,
the animal went, paused on to the Scottish Midland line,
which he left about a mile to the north, and was last seen
making for his native hills, with foaming mouth and 'tremo-
los tail, forming no unapt representation of " Taunts" sa

MURDES.—On Sunday last a female named
Bridget Stanton brought a child to the police station, in
Macclesfield, and stated that her husband bad so ill used it
that she did am expect it would live many hours. The
child was examined, but not►ing was mound to be the matter ,
with it, and the women departed. A few hours after this
the female again coiled with the thi!, which was dead, and
fearfully injured, saying, " I told you it could not live."
The police were then despatched fur the husband, whom
they apprehended during the day. The parties living in
the same house se the prisoner swore that the man and his
wife had had a slight quarrel during the morning ; that toe
latter said the man had as much right to take c ire of the
child as she had; and when he went out she cried ater him,
end said that as he would not take any trouble with the
child, she would do something to it whicn would hinder him
Irom going to work. She then told the lodgers that her
nu hand h►il almost killed the c mid, but upon their going
to look at it they found it quite well, and uninjured. She
then took the child out, and whilst proceeding alorg the
road it supposed that she murdered it, for there metre
numerous wounds on the head and cheek, and two of the
teeth had been focilily removed. An inquest was held on
Friday, and the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Mur-
der" against Bndget Stanton, who was forthwith com-
mitted to take her trial at the ensuing assizes, and the father
was liberated.

seat of •ohn Deacon, E.-q , the banker, before J. Dudlow,
Erg , coroner, touching the death of Robert Pope. a groom,
who had been many years in the service of the above-
named gentleman. It appeared from the evidence of the
fellow-servants of the deseased, that aot tasking hie usual

appearance in the hall on the ;vetting of th, kilt Dec., a
search was made in the stable, and after iv me time be was
fund quite dead fn one of the hay rack., with kis h•ad down-
wards. From the fact of the hat of the deceion d having been
foun ' in the manger, it woe 'apposed that having dropped
it in the rack, he, in attempting to regain it, tell in, and was
unable to extricate himself ; t-e rack being upwards of four
feet deep. A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned.

SUICIDE OF A LADY.—On Friday evening lost an
kquest was held upon the body of Mn. Twynam, the wife
of Dr Twynam, of Know's-hill, rear Dishops,ko. The
unfortunate lady, who flail been for ROl3lO time in e state of
depreuion, destroyed benelf by aucharging the con-
tents of a gun through her bead on Friday morning —Sarah
Berber, sousentaid in the family of the deceased, said : Her
age was about 62. She breakfasted with Dr. Twynam.
Atter breakfast she went fir a walk, and witness went with
her. Upon their return deceased told her to send the cook
for orders for dinner. She then desired wiener." to
go up sad dust the drawing-room. She was gone
about two minutes. On coming down stairs she
met the cook, and went into the room, which smelt of
gunpowder, and there was a good deal of smoke in She
then discovered that her mistress had shot hers. If. They
bad been obliged to keep knives out of her way for some
time. About a month ago she cut her left arm with stable
I knife, but it was not known whether by atehleht er not.
Deceased had once tried to take poison, but had been pre-
vented.—This evidence was confirmed by other witnesses.—
Mr. Goldstone, surgeon, deposed that be saw the body
of the deceased lying back in the caay chair, the
head reclining to the right side. The eft side was
very much shattered. The face had dark marks, like that of
gunpowder. A portion of the lower jaw was driven through.
The charge appeared to have gone through the mouth ; the
left side of the bead and a large portion of the eontents were
envied away. The poker was close to the right hand. The
nun was lying between her knees, with the stock on the
ground, and the barrels piloted towards the head. It ap-
peared to him that deceased discharged the Rue by touching
the trigger with the poker. It must have caused instant
death.—Mr. Wilson, surgeon, said Mrs. Twynam was af-
flicted with a disease of the brain, which suhjeeted her to
aberration of the mind. She was incoherent in ter manner,
sometimes more, sometimes le-e. It affected her whole
nervous system. She had not entire contr.' over herself.—
The jury returned a verdict of Temonrary insanity."

&Tarzana PIIATZIOIDI.—A wen wind Jobs Mae,

week le a mysterious Rumor. The body of the unfortunate
mu wee found ea Teseday bat, ender sate circumstances a.
leave so doubt that he was foully murdered ; and, If we ate
to credit the facts that have been swcrn to, murdered by
his own brother. The body was feud is the Billies river,
at the foot of Olessusy-wood, about two adios from his
late residence, with a large Mass spas kis breast, his vest
1 sad cast buttoned over it, and tied with ropes made
of straw or osier willies. Art inquest wee held,

pined, ere as follows:—The discharged arm* Kerr, who,
It would appear, wee an accomplice in the transaction, and
approver, being the principal witness: It appears that after
the unfortunate man went to bed, all the having
partaken pretty freely of whisky. the r and Kerr
wait out, but returned in a sheet time, sad, tapping at the
wi:ldow, told the dammed to rise, for there were persons
in the wood ratting timber. The deemed thereupon
arose, and accompealed them into the wood, but they bad
not gorse for until dm brother fired two shots at the de-
ceased, bevies both a gun and a pistol, ostensibly for the
purpose of attacking the persons who they alleged were
cutting the timber. Both shots tailed, however, to deprive
the deceased *life. He Meat to run away, and the
inhuman brother thou ed to heat out his brains
with the butt-end et the gun. When the murder was com-
pleted the body was takes to the river and thrown le, where
it was found. Bo fey Is the evidence of Kerr, who is evi-
dandy cautious of saying anything that will inculpate him-
self. It dues not appear, es yet, that Cathcart, the other
servant, had anv*hinfe to say to the transaction. It is
believed that some circumstances relative to the property of
deceased, which he was said to be about disposing of, but
which his brother would have inherited at hie decease, led
to the foul and unnatural eat, which for atrocity has not
bean equalled in this part of the country for many years.—

CosraddlON or isillftDlß:--Thime. Malkin, the
youth who was tried on Wednesday, sad kind guilty of
the murder of Esther Inman at Leeds, has shim innsfeased
hie guilt. It will be seen by the report of the trial that the
convicted you h strongly protested his innoesnee and said
that he never intended doing her any harm. He also ap-
t« be but little affected by the fearful position be wag
a. flowerer, since then, he has considerably softened, end
shown signs of contrition ; and on Thursday he made a con•
feesiou of his guilt to the 1141 V. T. Hutton, the prison chaplain,
to the effect that he was the cause of the death of hie lover,
' and that he had contemplated the murder for some time
previously.
A Wire POISONED ST HER HUSBAND.—At Clay-
ton, hat week, a report was prevalent that a married w.a.
man, named Judith Holdsworth, had been poisoned by her
husband, James Rokbwortb, a farmer and blacksmith.
He is sixty years of age, end his wife, who has since died,
wee th.rty. They have been married five or lit years, sod
have not lie. d on terms of affection or kindness. Holds-
woeth had a crabbed temper and miserly habits, and his
young wife had a vagrant disposition that led her frequently
(it is reported) to associate with other seen. Holdsworth
has had two wives previously, and report intimates that
their exit also was the result of foul play. The prin-
cipal evidence is the deposition taken before J. Rand,
at Clayton, on Thursday night last, a few hours before
Judith lioldsworth died, from wheh it appears that on
the Tuesday previous she had lain in bed longer than usual,
and her husband had brought her some flour porridge for
breakfast. See saw there was something particular in it, and
on getting up gave some of the porridge to the at. Alter
taking about a pint herself, she began to feel poorly, and
questioned her husband as to the porridge. He saki there
was nothing in it but "flour and milk." She then put her
finger tote her mouth and vomited, when he instantly threw
the vomit into the fire, and also a piece of maim, which, in
answer to her inquiry, be said had come out of his pocket.
Au inquest was held on Tuesday morning last, when the
raid.. of a post mortent examination, which had been made
in the interval, proved that death had been caused by the
swallowing of arsenic. Several witnesses deposed that
deceased wee taken very ill on Tuesday morning week, and
that an emetic had been administered. The jury, afti r
some difficulty, agreed upon a verdict of " Wilful mord,. "
against James Holdsworth, who was committed to York
assizes. The eat is still alive.

1441 18s. 6d.—Mr. Harken handed 144!. 18s. Sd. to the pri-
soner, on the 15th Dec., to pay into the banker's bands, and
it was suboguently discovered that the money had not bees
paid in, although it was est down in the cash receipt book,
in the prisoner's handwriting, so having been paid, and it
was ascertained that the prisoner bad been guilty of other
defalcations and forgeries.—ik person who represented him-
self to be Mr. Eaton, soMtor, of No. 10, Gray's-
inn-square, presented himself as the prisoner's ad-
vocate, producing a card so describing him. It
was, however, proved that he was no such person.
He then said he was Mr. Eaton's clerk,and named Massey.—
Mr. Tyrwhitt, under the circumstances, could not allow Mr.
Massey to interfere, and he was ordered out of court, with
an intimation that an officer should be sent round to every
police-court in London with • description and caution, in
order that he might be prevented attending these, and be
ejected if he ventured to do so.—The prisoner was re-
manded for a weak.—The prisoner's lather was afterwards
introduced, and said that when the prisoner was given into
custody he (the father) went to Mr. 13ivewright, of Castle
street, Holborn, who informed him that he bad a brother a
clerk to Mr. Eaton, of Gray's-inn-egutos, when he was
intreduoul to Mussy as Mr. Baton. He came there
that ineraing in oontnany with a dirty-looking per-
son whom he represented as his clerk, bet who
turned out to be the brother of Mr. Bivewright
Mussy said he was Mr. Baton, and wished to have an hash
view with the prisoner. eivewrigkt drew one guinea from
the prisoner's tether. The father said he understood that
Msasey was Mr. Baton, and he paid Sissy/right the money
thinking t hat be conducted the businew—Mr. Tyrwhitt said
it was a most flagrant thing ; poor persons were deprived of
their mosey and placed in jeopardy by such proceedings.

Tyrwhitt for the support of the poor-box, with a request
that it might be acknowledged in the daily papers ; "B. C."

same request.

MONEY MARKET.

THVIUMAY Bynum.
The funds were all in advance to-day, as anticipated
in well-informed quarters. Console, from 871 at the
commencement of the day's business, rose to 881, at
which they were commonly bought, leaving off 881 to
ex div. for the opening. There was much anima-
tion in business, with a certain coyness on the part of
speculators inclined to the rise, and proportionate
boldm ss in parties habitually operating for the tall.
Reduced Threes were 88 to k. Threeand-o-Quarter

The extraordinary feature of the day hes been the
"jump," as termed, in Peruvian Bonds. They were

48. -Three months ago this stock was uns, leable at
30. Peruvian is not a dividend-paying stock, nor
has it been so for years; hence there is a strong suspi-
cion that this sudden rise has been effi cted by means the
reverse of legitimate. Although there is difficulty in
getting at parties participant in such dishonest
