Tai A L MID IN A ASLAVOITII AT A TTEWDLITS AT
COL:In-II ATM AATIA7II.

Thie morning Yr. Henry resumed the investigation of the
charge of manaLloghter preferred at the instance of the
Commisaioners of Lunacy against Walken Staler sad
Ifdloask Vivian, formerly attendants at Coineyhatch.
Mr. Sleigh appeared as counsel for the prosecution. and
Mr. Len is for the defence.

Upon the prisoners being placed in the dock,
Mr. Sleigh observed that, in accordance with the
magistrate's desire, he proposed to eine the use today.
He should call Mr. Brent to produce the depositions of the
prisoner Vivian at the inquest, and then eternise Gann,
and We, with a slight addition to the medical evidence,
would ecenplelia the inquiry for the prosecution.
Mr. George Smith Brent, deputy coroner for the county
of Midanses—On the 17th of May I held an inquest at
the Colney Hatch Asylum, on the body of William Swift.
At that isqviry, the prisoner Wawa Vivian was atainined
as s witness. en oath, and I now produce his deposition as
taken down at that time.

Mr. Lewis objected that depositioal takes on oath at a
preliminary inquiry could not be used at the trial of a per•
ma swami al Ranier or manslaughter.
Yr. Homy would leave the settlement of that emetic. to
the importer roast
Mr. Lewis—WlN you admit it now
Mr. Henry—Yes, there are precedents both ways, and
the judge mast decide which is to prevail.
Mr. Brent this produced his notes taken at the inquest
with a transcript thereof. He was not boned to take de-
positions unless is cases where a verdict of mauler or
manslaughter was returned by the jury, in whit* war the
depositions were read over to the witnemes and signed by
them.

Some diseuseion ores as to whether the transcript should
lie attached to the present deposition., and it was ultimately
decided that the cormer should make • statement of the
prumedinp before him, refreshing his memory by referring
to the notes in question. He then repeated the fol.
lowing as the evideoce of Vivian " I am an ait.
aslant in No. 11 ward. There are three meistainta in No. 11
ward. At the time of the death of William Swift there
were 43 patents, some of them at times violent On
Thursday, May 10, at half-put one o'clock, deceased was
mach excited. On Saturday, May 12, he said he had been
working very hard all night. That was in his bedroom.
which was • padded room. There are only two rooms in
that ward which are pad.le,L The deceased had not
shown any violence while iu that ward. On Saturday even.
ing, about baf•p•at six, he was seised with an epileptic
St. I took him jut., a padded mans and remained with
him till the St was over. I and my fellow attewl►nt
'Oster were with him. I left him alone for ten minutes
to attend to other patients. I thee went with another at.
tendant to him, and he said he was better. I undressed him
and put him to bed. I had to attend to the other patients'
suppers. I then took the deceased his supper, and found
him in • very low state, I swat for Mr. Tyerman at 20
minutes to 8 o'clock. 1 remained with biro till Mr.
Truman came, which was three minutes afterwards.
He was then dead. I knew that he had •
straggle in C ward, but did not know that be had sustained
any 'Muria. He had seed nothing about any injuries. He
was very talkative. He might h►ve been out of sight of
aa attendant for • short time Ho was sot, so far as I
know, the subject a any violence from another person
while he was under my charge."
Cron-examined by Mr. Lewis—l took such portions only
as 1 thought St, not the whole of the statements made by
him. Other witnesses were emniined.
Mr. Lewis—Did the jury visit the want before giving
this verdict!

Witness-1 do not know. They left the room. The
verdict was an open one.
William (lean--1 am one of the attendants at the Culney
Hatch Asylum. I attend in C ward. The deceased William
Swift wan in that ward from the Bth of March until
Monday, the 10th of May. On Weslummbsy evening, lay 9.
Sift was is his bedroom, and in consequeoce of a noise
there I went to the door. I unlocked the door,
and before I had time to speak to Swift he struck
me in the eye, and seised me by the necktie, saying,
" I have got you now, you ---." Finding that I was
early strangled, I celled Frost, a patient, end desired him
to go for assistance. I struck Swift in the pit of the
stomach, sad we fell to the earth. I know nothing more
after that till I wee reined Ey Reed, another attendant.
Wises I ease to myself Swift was on the bed. I used no
mac violence than was useeasar y.
By Yr. Henry -I became inseesible from strangulation I
suppose. When I came to myself I was bleeding from the
nose and mouth.

To lir. Sleigh-1 did not fall on him. This oocun'ed in
is his bedroom, which is not • padded mom. I did not
mention that I had bled from the nose and mouth. When I
unlocked rthe door, sad let him out of his bedroom,
about ten minutes past six o'clock in the
morning, he appeared as well as usual. He showed
me • bruise on the pit of tho stomach which I reported.
Ha only said " Look at this bruise." Hs did not make any
allusion to tho struggle which took place the previous night.
He used to sweep the ward out every morning. flat
morning be came, and asked for his broom as
usual. I thought it right not to give it to him. He
was about the ward that morning as usual and took his
breakfast as usual. At one o'clock he sat down to
his diuncr, and enjoyed it as usual. There did not
appear to be anything amiss with him. After
dmt.,•r he was removed to No. 11 ward.

(Th. wittier was wader examination when our report left.)

Despatches were received at the Colonial-office
yesterday (men the Governor of Malta.
A Niw Smite CARRIAGR.—The Banff Journal
says :—" On Friday the Earl of Caithness, accompanied by
the countess and by the Rev. William Rosa, of Kintyre,
started from Inverness in his steam-carriage, built under
his own direction and though, owing to ita being the mar-
ket day there, the read was filled with boreal and
conveyanees of all Weds, hie lordship passed through
them all without any more inconvenience to the
general traffic or alarm to horses than if he had
been in his carriage and four. So perfectly had he
the whole moving power under his control that he
stopped more quickly than an ordinary carriage and
horses could draw up, and this he did as often as he saw
the least danger of any horse being frightened. He reached
Beauly—a distance of fourteen miles—in an hour and
twenty minute*, notwithstanding the frequent s
and fifteen minutes lost in getting water. Aker leaving
Beastly, on those parte of the read where some distance
forward can be seen, he attained the speed of eighteen
miles an hour, and could have kept up this for any dis-
tance with ease and safety. After reaching Alines, his
lordship teruod to the left, and took the road direct for
Boner Bridge. Here the carriage had a severe test applied
to it, but lie drove it up the hills without difficulty, '
and coming down the very steep declivity near where
the road joule the road from Tam the control his lordship
had over it was most satisfactory, and enabled him to de-
scend at any rate be wished, and witrfect ease and
safety. Leaving the hospitable inn at Ardgy, Lord Caith-
ness crossed Boner Bridge, and drove onto Ashmore, after
a successful drive of nearly seventy miles. Saturday being
very wet, he remained there till the afternoon, and then
drove on to Goiania to remain over Sunday, and
having perfect confidence in his carriage from its
' working on Friday, he expects to reach Barr:gill
Castle, a distance of eighty miles, and over the steepest
roads in Scotland. His lordship has made this somewhat
hold step of applying steam as a propelling power to car-
riages on amnion roads for any long distance, and the result
of the first day has more than answered the expectathms
of its warmest promoters, and left no doubt as to its being
not only practicable, but useful, when so applied. The
carriage was made by Mr. T. Reckitt, sae Foundry,
Buckingham, and is • beautiful piece et work."
ENOLDUI CHURCH AT CHAMOIJNIX.—British tra-
vellers will be glad to hear that the Lord Bishop of Win-
chester has fixed Thursday morning, September 6, for the
opening of Cliamounix Church for divine service.
RINOT•L or IN, RA!TISD PRNIONIL —By a provision
in a new act (Diadems Preventane Act) all local antheritiss
may provide carriages for the eueveyanes isfsebal per-
sons reading within the locality to aay hospital ar other
place of destination, and the e:peose is to be deemed an ex-
palm incurred in executing the Diseases Prevention Act.
ACCLOINIODATION FOR THR CORN ?RAHN AT
HIRCLOIRAD.—At the meeting of the Mersey Dock Board
yesterday (Thureday) Mr. J. Laird suggested that as there
was a probability of, large increase in the imports of corn
from the Black it.. and great deficiency of warehouse ac-
commodation iii the town, that sheds for the storing of corn
should be erected at Birkenhead, when' they could be most
profitably leased. The subject was referral to this Ware-
house Committee.

Two o'CLocw.

The announcement made in the House of Com-
mons last night by the Secretary of State for India,
that 3,000,0001. more is to be raised for the
service of the Indian government, has confirmed
the unfavourable tendency of the funds. A
fresh decline of * per cent. has taken place in Con-
sols. Very little business is going forward.
British railway stocks are dell, though showing
little change in price. Canadian descriptions are
rather more offered.

Indian government securities, particularly the
Five per Cent. stock of 1869 and India, Bonds, are
weaker, iu anticipation of the new Indian loan.

telegram, the Three per Cent. Reptes were

The report of the directors of the Mid-Keneßail-
way Company recommends a half-yearlr dividend

the future operations of the London, Chatham, and
Dover Railway Company :
The Londonn,, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company
bay. annou red the approaching opening of their western
extension from &rood to Bromley for the Ist of October, so
that the revenue for the current half-year will participate
in the: increase of traffic which may be expected from this
source. This comptny have also obtained
_power in the
pest session to purchase the portion of the Weet-end and
Crystal Palace 1/116 between Shortlands and Norwood junc-
tion, and an act to enable them to construct a line from
Beckenham by the Crystal Palace, and through the southern
suburbs across the Thames to a terminus in Farringdon-
street, independent of the Brighton and South Eastern
epitome. They have also undertaken to construct the line
to Farnborough.

As showing the change which has taken place in
the impression respecting the future prospects of
the Illinois Central Railway Company, it may be
mentioned that transactions to a large amount took
place yesterdayatl dollar per share in the "Optional
Rights" of this company. The purchaser obtains
at this price the right of "calling" shares from the
company at par at any period between the present
date and February next. Before he can obtain any
profit upon the transaction, the price of the shares,
now at 26 discount, must rise beyond premium.
These " optional rights" were originally created
with certain bonds of the company, from which
they were subsequently detached.
With reference to the market for American secu-
rities, Meters. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report as
follows:

Them is no particular change to notice in the market for
American securities during the past week. There has been
• continued good demand for the Federal Five per Cent.
and Six per Cent. Bonds, whilst Virginia Bonds have been
mere freely offered for sale. In railroad securities the chief
WWl= hes been in the shares of the Illinois Central Rail.
rend, which continue to advance in price. _ _

The following is Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and
Co.'s report of the public sales of hides held yester-
dayhs: edieg the result of the sixteenth series of public
sales for the year, and the third held since the crisis in the
leather trade, it affords us much pleasure to be able to re-
cord not only a general demand from both the home cud ex
pos. buyers, but also a somewhat general improvement in
prices, and hence we are led to the belief that the effects of
the crisis have almost eutirely passed away. That there
were re-assuring prospects we ventured to state in our re-
port of the public sales held en the 26th ult., sad it is gra-
tifying to find that the leather factors' monthly circulars
issued yesterday are of the Name confident tendency.

A Naw Elromr Omaroit.—A friend of mine,
walking in Hyde-park on a late bright Sunday, paused to
listen to one of the openeiromtors or preachers, so many at
whom "take the stump" in tho perk on Sundays. This parth
eularsponter was denouncing the lately opened ride in Kensing-
ton Gardens as an abominable sacrifice of the peoples
rights and comfort to " • bloated aristocracy." de the
orator wound up a peroration of unusual goindiloqueeee
with a torrent of abuse of the Honourable William Cowper
and his works. my friend was astonished to see a
well dressed pleasant looking person emerge from
the crowd, mount the bench from which tho ppulaz
orator bad been spouting, and, taking off his hat to
the audience, begin-" Ladies end gentlemen' I am
the William Cowper in question." Tho First Commie.
skater of Works-for it wes really ho-then proceeded, with
much humour and good erne, to undo the work of this
astonished stump orator-who never thought to be so es-
countered on his owe "walk'-and ended (mid my friend)
getting decidedly the best of the battle.-Cur.-espondent
