THE 111PERTAL CIIIIIFAIL
The name of Great Britain, It is title, ciblierres
the Daily News, is absent from a circular dealing with the
MAMA' of mattasatel powers, and referring to Astoria'
°143, by weiry, of illustration; but it is abundantly evident
Aar 'greet was very present to the mind of the

imperial writ,* when he peened the sentence about the
growth of second-class navies in the Baltio and the
Mediterranean and the " freedom of the seas"—a
formula which M. Emile de Girardin has been in
I the habit of employing for many years CHI
special reference to the maritime supremacy of Engleni.
There is much too for Belgium and Holland to reflect upon
in the principle of necessary annexations, and the doctrine
of natural agglomerations. But why kok beyond the ques-
tions of the day? All the imperial manifestoes in the
world can never dignify spoliation, or consecrate injustice,
or reconcile a free people to arbitrary power, or change the
conditions of national greatness, or arrest the forces of
civilisation. M. de Lavalette's circular may be its full of
lurking menaciee as a casemate of loopholes, but is it desk%
able to exercise ingenuity in seeking them out when there
is so much in it to command our assent and sympathy'
The Pose believes it unquestionable that the Em-
peror, in announcing a pacific policy, expressea the real
wishes of the Frenoh nation. That nation is susceptible,
and the military successes of Prussia for the moment
wounded its pride. The ext;eme ability wYch the
Emperor manifested in restra'n;ng an bnpotient and as.
reasoning ardour, and in finally guiding the policy of the
state into a safe channel, adds one more to the many
proofs afforded during his reign of the Orli end judgment
he is capable of displaying under the most ti firg circum-
stances.

The Herald contends that it by no means follows because
her minor courts have disappeared, Germany will advance
the more rapidly in the arts of peace and civilisation. All
wide dominions, not insular, have a tendency to bosoms
military. Where have lived the men who have served
their country by the cultivation of science and art, and
the diffusion of sound opinions and elegant tastes? Not
where flow:abed the all-con apttng school of conquest.

MEXICAN FINANCE.

THE EXTRAORDIN
4 mipICAL PRACTITIONZR,

ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE BODY OP lict aounNo.--inas DAY.)
This morning, at 10 o'clock, Dr,
il
Coroner for Central Middlesex, and the jury
em
441;
on Thy y, the 13th instant. as to the
WI k Richard Golding, aged £O, whose body has been Wise from the Highgate Cemetery, and an investigatiostieg
listed in consequence of certain allegations meg,
reference to his death and the making of hie
favour of Dr. Put, of the Camden-rred, who irises
ail:
in to attend him medically a dayor two before his diet
was resumed at the Angel Inn, Highgate.
The publication of the previous premedust h
creased interest to attach to the inqtury ands Irv"
room was crowded by a large =mbar of medical Wye
pistons] gentlemen, including several of the load sigh
ties. Dz. Part was protest, aooom tpanioi by kie eam,
Mr. Thomas Beard. Mrs. and Miss Southgate, thrW's
whose allegations the inquiry had been instituted, ea*
declare that the deemed stated before he died thethehd
made his will in their throne, were also in attendees,.
The panel having answered to their names,
Miss Frames Julia Southgate was grit readied, ,4
examined by the Coroner—Deceased told me on the we,
nudity that be intended to take two pills. I saw me
with pills. There were boor pills in it when I Mil le
it. On the morning he died I saw the same lux, there were then but two pills. I never saw that heat
the pills after the morning he died. Thai pipe
from Dr. Part, and there was a bottle of medians
them.l saw damped take one dose of the meditita
saw the medicine next morning, and he had taken WI
one dose.

By Kr. Beard—l know the Oh came from NA
I concluded they hal u doomed was Wm la
care. Deceased told me that they came from his. It
my solemn oath he told me so. A person named
residing at my house, who says he is a f riled
Beard, has been 'anteing me shamefully shoal kaki
caused the inquiry.

Mr. Winkworth, a furor, said he was aware thatimal
strange proceedings had taken place.

Mr. Beard complained that Mr. Winkwortis hid
making himself a party in the matter, and requested ths
the witness should be reaworn on the points upon risk
she was re-examined, which was done.
The witness, in crass-examination by Mr. Bent th.
continued—There was no name on the pill-hex. Aka
taking the pills deceased became drowsy. Whoa g•
Gob" ng wee dying Mrs. Part was diwn-etairs, sad I wrath
tell her to come up. I did not tell Mn.s Part thettis
deceased became better after he had taken the m
I told her he bad appeared better that day. As far Mika
the 20th February last I sent a letter to Dr. Put I apply
through my solicitor for • copy of Mr. Goldiag's will. D
sent hint what be called a copy, but it was not a prep,
copy. It was not a proper copy, because it did not rtes
the amount the will was sworn under.

Mr. Beard here read the letter received by Dr. Path*
the witness on the 20th of February, in which abs..
plained that the will was not in accordance with the his
Kr. holding's will, in which he had intended to lure ke
and her soother 7001. each, and him only 601. and hills*
She also charged him and his wife with ransacking Mebane
and taking away property belonging to her and her us*
mid with neglecting the deceased in not providing SIMI
as promised. ithe also complained that the ascend lei
not been laid out, and the body screwed down withsst
and her mother being permitted to see it. Dr. Plete
reply to this was also read, in which he charged ths vie
uses with (as a professed friend of the demised) pa*
neglecting him, and in answer to the charge of nand*
declared it to be his right as executor of the demised.
The witness said she had also another most hopeful
letter, which she wished to Lave read.
By Mr. Winkworth —The day before his death ths
ceased told me to take some money oat of the drive is
pay expenses. The only knowledge deceased had of Dr,
Part was that he had met him some twenty yeses bikes at
a Mr. Taylor's. . . .

By the jury—The deceased often spoke of his dialysed
said he should like to have a respectable funeral. The
reason the deceased left us to live in Stebbingtoaeind
was that the lease of our house was out, and he west hei
lodgings temporarily, and he said if we could lad sluff
able eight-roomed house he would buy it for ne. Denied
never expressed a wish to be buried in his traumas. Wisl
person would do so! (A laugh.)
By the Coroner—l have been visited by Mr. riokoorik
the juryman, since this inquiry was adjourned.
Mr. Beard protested against this conduct on the gal
a juryman, and hoped his name would be published.
Mr. Winkworth said he had no objection, as he had des
termined, in spite of Mr. Beard, to elicit the whole In&
Professor Rogers was here called upon to give his PS
deuce, when he dashed to hear some evidence se tolls
character of the deceased's illness immediately prints
his death, as all he had heard on the previous oessisa
that he was affected with a slight cold.
The witness said he had a cold, and she understood BO
it was bronchitis.
Mrs. Todd, the landlady, was re-called sod maid
upon this point, and also said she understood thstic
ceased had a cold. The medicine came the same night that
Dr. Part first came. Deceased's doer was locked, and wigs
he was told it was his medicine he called out to pet It
down. I took his breakfast up for him on Cluings,
morning. He appeared much better. On the Than*
morning after he had taken the medicine be was nee
Professor Julian Edward Dishowe Rogers smiled-.
I reside at 35, Sussex-place, South Belgravia, IA
am professor of chemistry at the Loudon Hospital IA&
School. The portion of the body I received wee the
stomach, lungs, liver, and heart. I have made as snob
nation for various alkalies, each as morphia, sill
and other poisons, and have found slight trees of
but no traces of strychnine. I have found • littssatillhi)
arsenic is the stomach. In the liver there was noon. Nod •
every means of test, and with the greatest care, sad lAN I
found the trace of arsenic in the stomach I made a speld
examination of the liver for the arsenic, and finding
absent, I came to the conclusion that no quentol
arsenic had been taken sulcient to destroy life. Hal
that been the case I must have found it in the liver.
By the Coroner—l am quite sure I found meek Ist
the stomach. I have formed an opinion se to the OWN
of death, and there Is nothing to induce me to believe tom
the evidence I have heard and my examination the
died from any other cause than bronchitis. The
throwing up the arms as described by the lib
new Miss Southgate would be the natural consequtio
of the deemed trying to got air. With aped
to where the arsenic came from my imeroo"
was that it mast have been admitted in the medicine shoo
to the deceased, and that there must have been gore crer
in making up that medicine. I do not think there ins
any natural arsenic in the body. I have never food
arsenic naturally in a body. If there had, however, bar
sufficient arsenic to have killed I should have fated it
the liver. Had deceased taken any large quanta,' of 15*
n.;c there would have been vomiting and purging.
The particles of arsenic found in the deemed's Mew
was here produced and examined by the coroner teditifj
By the foreman—l do not think the small time*
arsenic I found in the stomach could be calculated to sew'
locate death. There is kpreparation of arsenic sad Mr
ash called Fowler's Solution, which is used in medisiee
Four or five drops might contain about half a cosi
arsenic. There are 480 drops to an ounce.
In answer to questions, he said he found much lass etc
phia than arsenic.
Dr. Part, on being sworn, stated that Mt.
log, on sending for him, said he wanted him If be •
his executor. The witness read the preseriPtioa UPI
him from his day-book. He wrote a sketch of the oal
from Mr. Golding's dictation, who said he kol
not seen his relations for many years, and did IN
care for them. The will was afterwards made bl .1
solicitor. He never prescribed for him after that Tbl
witiess was proceeding to state that be found Wu Beedo
gate meddling with the money which Mr. Goldhlibli
shown him in the drawers, when our report left.
