derable quantity of arsenic was found in it.—Theexarnination
of the witnesses keying terminated, the coroner directed the
officer to introduce the deceased's husband to thejnry, who,
in answer to the coroner, said he had been married to the
deceased 24 years. The coroner then informed him that the
tests made by Dr. Heim& and other medical gentlemen had
given entire satisfaction to himself and the jury. Large
quantities of arsenic were found in the deceased's stomach,
which must have been taken on Sunday during. some
part of the day, and the evidence showed that arsenic was
the house under lock and key up to the time she was
taken SI, she being ill before the drawer had been broken open,
and consequently deceased could not have got at it herself.
He was not bound to as anything ; it must be voluntary if
he did.—Hutchings replied that he did not intend to make
any statement at all. He was an innocent man, and that
was sufficient. He then left the room.—The coroner ob-
served to the jury that Hutchings had never mentioned his
suspicion to the surgeon that deceased had used poison. This
was something strange—his opinion was very strong on that
point.—The room was then cleared for about an hour, when
the doors were re.opeoed, and the deceased's husband called
in.—The coroner told him that, after a moat patient investi-
gation into the whole of the evidence, the jury had agreed
unanimously to their verdict of " Wilful murder" against
him, and that he would be committed to Newgate for trial.
THE LATE Ma. WILBON.—Mr. Joseph Henry
Wilson, whose untimely death at Lisbon was announced in
the &press, of Friday, was not the son of Sir Thomas
Wilson, a naval officer, as stated in the Times. He was
second son of Thomas Wood Wilson, Eel, of Fulford
House, York, a magistrate of that city, and formerly of the
firm of Wilson and Son., printers and publishers. The un-
fortunate youth was also nephew of Mr. Serjeant Green, of •
the Irish bar, who was Solicitor-General under the late ad-
ministration.

COTTON FROM bnt.—The Quintin Leitch, which
arrived at Liverpool on Thursday last, from Bombay, has on
board nearly 700 bales of cotton, presumed to be of superior
quality, and grown partly from American and partly from
native seed, but cleaned in a mire careful manner than ordi-
nary. Of this cotton we understand 500 bales belong to the
East India Company, and about 200 to a mercantile firm in
this town. That belonging to the company will be placed
for sale under the direction of Ole Manchester Commercial
Associatie•, who, no doubt, will take care to make such
arrangements as will give the trade generally an early and •
sufficient opportunity of seeing the cotton and of testing its
quality. The 200 bales belonging to private merchants will
also, we believe, be sold publicly in small lots ; sod we have
no doubt the whole will attract considerable attention from
the spinners and manufacturers of the district.

Tug HARVEST.—Answers to inquiries as to the
harvest, from correspondents in all parts of Great Britain,
are given in a tabular form in the Gardeners' Chronicle of
last week. The general deductions from these returns seem
to be that the wheat crop, which is of rather larger extent
than usual, promisee, on the whole, cmeiderably over an
average produce ; that the barley crop, which is of the ordi-
nary extent, is even still further beyond an average than the
wheat; that a greater extent of oats, notwithstanding the
partial failure in Scotland, will yield an average crop; and
that beans and peas, especially the former (but except-
ing Scotland) though cultivated to a much larger
extent than has ever been previously known, will
not yield much above half the number of bushels
which ordinary crops of put years have produced.
The reports are arranged geographically ; and they show that
as certain crop.: vary apparently solely with the latitude, and
therefore the climate of their several localities, the failure
of the oats in Scotland, of the beans from Yorkshire south-
wards, end of certain of the green crops, also in southern and
central England, are most obvious illustrations of this.
" And we are inclined to regard our information on the pre-
valence of the potato disease. says the editor, "as in a
measure obeying a similar law it appears to exhibit the
mischief as occurring, for the most part, en the western coast
or western side of England. Our worst reports are from
Stranraer, Cumberland, Lancashire, Gloucestershire, Somer-
setshire. Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, and Hampshire." li
