By Mr. iblio;Lit is Wit mirl for drivers, if they do not
see anything in the awe( of oketruction at the Legnaharn
dation, to drawl" beyond the diatom* mend toward' the-
eamaphore. I did oomplain to Mr. Nelms about the state of
the distance signal about 12 days ago from the Ferment time.
I said, " Mr. Nelson, that light is in a very bad condition.
It shows a light 'Neither one way nor the other. lam not
aware whether it I. a stop or a caution signal." He seemed
not to be aware Gill* but I understood him to say he would
get it altered. It has frequently happened that that distance
signal was oat of order. I had noticed it frequently, and bad
spoken Mit twice. It Is, generally speaking, worse than the
other signals on the line.
By Mr. Bodkin—l stopped because I saw the rod light.
The 32nd rule of the company was to the effect that if the
light was net visible from fog, or any other cause, the driver
was to stop, and not to peas any junction or station where
the sigma was situated. But on the occasion ,n question the
light was sufficient to induce me to pass.
John Hall, etcher to the 9.15 train on Sunday night—The
driver told me to put the break on as we were nearing the
light. The light seemed much the same as usual. Alter
we pulled up I did not get off the engine at all, but I looked
along the train en the off-aide, end did not are any passenger.

mixed with suet, in the proportions required by the set. I
as. her again • few days afterwards. She called, and in-
quired if the arsenic should not be white. I told her it re-
mnred to be sold mixed. She did not buy any more. That
is all that passed about the cogurar. I maid it required to be
mixed, but I don't remember saying what with. James
Dials, my assistant, gave to Dr. Penny the same welewtel

It is signed J. Vickie.

understood from the young man who mind it that the

was that it had been paid for at the time; but, on icitiog this

had not been paid for.

James Metier, examined by the Lord Advocate-1 was an
&albite:it in February teat in the arm of Murdoch Heathery,
druggist., tiauchiehall. street, Olaryrow. I knew Mimi
Smith at that time by sight. I recollect her coming to the
shop for anomie. She said oho wanted to rend it to the gar-
dener to kill rate. She elicited • receipt for it. (Shown •
bottle of arsenic.) It was the urns as that. The arsenic
was duly entered in the register-hook, and signet by me. I
recollect that it was nut paid. I know now it was entered
in our book to account. She took it away with her. I de-
livered some arsenic to Professor Penny on the 10th March.
It was the same Si I gave to Mies Smith.
Cron-examined by the Dean of Faculty—l knew Miss
Smith before that by eight. I have been de van in Mar-
doch's shop. The Smiths dealt with Murdoch brothers. On
the 23rd of February Mien Smith had an account standing
in our books. I made the entry about the areenk on the
21st. I entered it into the scroll-!wok at the counter as un-
paid. That satisfies coo that it was not paid. I did not
enter it into the other book,. There is some soda-water en-
tered to the account of the Smiths in the scroll-book of the
same date. I don't recollect Miss Smith's giving the order
for it.

George Carruthers Halibarton, assistant to Mr. Currie,
druggist, Sauchiehall-street, Glasgow. examined by the Lord
Advocate—We keep a register book for poison. (Shown
book labelled 186). That is our book. It to a register fur-
nished by Fisher, foe the purpose et entering the sale of
paean.. At the date of Gth March I see an entry of arsenic.
It is one ounce of arsenic, purchased by Miss M. If. Smith,
for rate. I know the prisoner. She was accompanied by a
lady when she came for it on that occasion. She asked for
sixponayworth of arsenic. I asked what it was to do, and
she rid it was to kill rata. I said we were not very fond of
selling arsenic for that purpose, and recommended her a
mature of phosphorus for it, which would do quite se well.
She said ebe had tried that before and it had tailed. She
said the rate were in the house in Blythswood-maare. I

told her that in consequence of the faintly going away neat
day, she would be compelled to see it put down to lull the
rata herself. The arsenic was mixed with indigo. Miss
Smith paid for it, and took it away. (Shown a book labelled
IS6 I ace an entry under date March 18.) It is, " Mile
smith bought I oz. arsenic to kill rats." The signature is
the same as before. I recollect of her coming for that. She
slid that, in consequence of the tint being no successful that
they had killed seven or eight rats, nbc had come back to
get the does renewed. Mr. Currie wee in the shop at the
time. I brought him forward, and told him the young lady
had get arsenic on a former occasion; and, after a few words,
he told me to give It to here mound time. It was of the
same composition, and registered in the same way an the first
I had sold to her. There wee a lady with her. I thought
it woo her sister. I never heard of arsenic, ouch as I sold
to Mina Smith, being used for a cosmetic. Then is a prepa-
ration which goes under the name of "Collier'. Solution'
need internally for that purpose. Yellow sulphate of soda is
also used for that purpose. She bought one ounce each time.
By the Don of Faculty—Both purchases were made
quite openly. Ido not know the young lady who accom-
panied Miss Smith the first time. They were speaking at
the counter when I wee preparing the arsenic. The
lady said she always thought arsenic was poison, mdyl°2l
it was, and we had to colour it by act of parliament. I had
never seen the young lady who came on the see,tel occasion
before. She was a different person from the lady who was
there the first time. I mined the arsenic myself. The
colouring matter wee indigo. I put in the proper quantity
according to the act.

By the Court —The yellow substance is quite different
from the white, and is used 114-TatlM it SO affects the akin II
to bring out the roots of the hair. That is altogether opposite
from the effects of any cosmetic. As far as I know it would
be dangerous as a cosmetic. We do not sell it woolly for
that purge= The proportion is four grains of arsenic to the
wane.

square she spoke on the mond occasion.
John Currie—l am a chemiet and druggist in Sauchlehall-
street, Glasgow. I don't know Miss Smith. I remember of
a lady giving that name being in my shop on the lath of
March laid (Shown a book.) This is my book. There is an
entry on the 111th of March, signed, " M. H. 5.," and aho
by my sumeetant. I new him dispensing arsenic at the
counter. I went forward and inquired what she was want-
ing to do with it. She said it weir to kill rate. I toll her
we bad substances for killing rate, but she mid she had got
coon before, and wished it again. I said I would rather give
her moiethibg else, se we were unwilling, in ,unKigitenee of
the accidents which mmetiume ha to sell arsenic for
killing rata, but she said she peeferred buying the arsenic. I
then told her she would be required to gigs her name fur
it. She said she had no objection to do that. I had then no
haltatica in selling it, and desired the young man to give
her the areenie. She got an ounce of coloured arsenic, the
same kind as I gave to Dr. Penny. We don't sell the un-
coloured anemic. I think, se far is I can recollect, she said
it answered very well for the purpee, sad would rather have
it than anything else. The anenic was paid fT. There
was a young lady with her. I had no me*ian at the time.
Wm. Campaie, gardener, residing at RowalOrti, In the
prieh of Row--I am in the service of Mr. • .stuith, of
Blythewood-square. Glasgow, at Row. I have bead with
him since 1853. I never got any arsenic from Miss .q 'bath
with which to kill rats. I don't recollect of having an"
conversation with bee about arsenic to kill rats. I never had
any arsenic for that purpose.
By Mr. Young—We were very much troubled with nets
at Row. We used a paste mixed with phosphorus for
filling them. It was vary effectual. We got partly quit of
the rats by using it.

William Harper Minnoch, merchant, Glasgow—l aria a
partner of the germ of John Ilouldsworth and Co. I live in
Maim-street, above Mr. James Smith's house. I have been
intimately acquainted with his family for above four years.
In the course of the first winter I paid my addressee to Mies
Smith. I ultimate!), proposed marriage to hmr. That was upon
the 12th March. She accepted me. The time fur
our marriage was fixed between her and myself
on that day. I bad before that, on the 28th January, sated
her generally in marriage, without reference to a time. That
was in person. My attentions before that were I thought
suflicient to make her understand that I intended marriage.
She accepted nee on the 28th January, and then we arranged
it more particularly on the 12th March. From the end of
January to the 12th March Ira there anything to suggest •
doubt to your mind r to the engagement conunraing
thing. toad you any idea ahe was engaged to any other
perm B—None. Were you aware of any attachment or pe-
culiar Intimacy between her and another man 8-1 was not.
The marriage was Sued to be in June; on the 18th of June.
In the course of January, before the 28th, I made Mies
Smith a present of a necklace. Mir Smith went
with her family to the Bridge of Allan on the fah M. Sheremained there till the 17th. I visited the family whsle
they were there. After leaving, I received a letter
from Min Smith. Shown letter and envelope 133.
That is the letter. It is dated Monday. After Mir
Smith sauna borne from the Ridge of Allan she lived in my
here along with her father and mother on the 19th. I met
her again at Mr. Middleton's in the evening. This waa on
Wednesday, March 2.5. I was not aware of anything wrong
at that time. I happened to all next morning at her
&thee.. That was Thursday, the 26th. I understood then
she had left the house. I went down to Rowalevn in com-
pany with my brother to look for Miss Smith. Ile went by
trete to Greenock, and then on board the steamer there. I
found her in the steamboat. The ateamer was going to
Helensburgh and Row. It called at Rosenenth. It re-
turned to Greenock ultimately. It was a little after 2 o'clock
when I found her. She only mid abe was going to Rows-
le,sn. I went on to Rowalevn with her and her brother.
Wo then drove beck to Glaigow in a carriage to her father's
house. I had no conversation with Mire Smith that night
alter reaching Olsagow. Next Saturday I saw her. 1 had heard
a rumour be that time of something wrong. She told rue onlhe
Saturday ithe had written a letter to L'Angelier, in order to
get back some letters which she had written to him per
rowdy. She did not say when she had written. She made
no further statement then. I saw her again on the Sunday,
but had no eoncentation with her on the same subject. I saw
her on the Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday morniN
saw Miss Smith, and she mentioned L'Angelier's ha
been said to have been poisoned, and remarked that she
been in the habit of using arsenic for a long time. for she had
learned at school, at Clar, that it was good for the com-
plexion. I had heard the rumour that L'Angelier had
been poisoned. She said nothing further. That is the last
time I saw her. Before she made them etatements to me, I
was not aware she was acquainted with L'Angelier. I was
not acquainted with him myself.
Conesexamined—l was at the opera on the 19th February.
I was acoorepried by my eider and Miss Smith. I think I
called in paring with my sister, at Mir Smith's bore.
It •••11 about hill-pest seven when we went to the
opera. It was about eleven o'clock when we returned. We
got home about eleven. Mir Smith returned with us. She
had been with no all the evening. She stopped the cab at
the house, and she went in. I did not observe who tiptoed
the dour. Upon the 26th March it was I who auggaeted the
probability of Mir Smith Laving gone to Row. I knew her
father had a bore there at which a servant was thing at tho
time. When I loot her in the steamboat I asked her why
she bad left home, leaving her friends in so much
dieters. She did not reply. I staked her not to reply
before so many people. I renewed my inquiry at Rowaleyn.
She said she lclt distressed that papa and mom. had been go
much annoyed at what she had done. Before I left Glaa-
gow Mr. Smith told me that Miss Smith had
left the house on account of some old lore affair.
I understood her to he referring to that affair
In the answers she made me. She gave me no farther ex-
planation then. She told me not to peer her, and she would
tell meall another time. We were not above three quarters
of an hour at Row. I carried her back to her father's boar,
sad left her there. On 31st March it wee she who introduced
the subject of L'Angelier's death, referring to the report of
his haring been poisoned. That was about half-past nine in
the morning. I had called to inquire for Mrs. Smith, who
was unwell at that time. I think my meeting with Min
Smith wan mashy accidental. I have told all that pared on
that occasion. reminded her on the 214th of themise
ohs had made at Row, that she would tell me by-andprothy. I
had not beard I:Angelic?' name before that. She called
him a Frenchman, to whom she said she had written to get
back her letters from him.

Margaret Houston or Clark, examined by the Solicitor
General—l live at the Royal Botanic Gardena, rila.gow.
My huaband is curator of those garden.. M. L'Angelier
lived in my home for about two Yeats. lie went from my
house to ledge with Mrs. Jenkuis in Franklin-place. Ile
was merely a lodger with me, not a boarder. I was inti-
mately acquainted with him. What impreseion did you form
as to his general character P—A very good imp/moon. He
seemed to be • very steady, temperate young man. lie kept
regular hours. He never wee late out while in my
hones. I 14R4 led to believe that he wan a regular attender
of chapel. Did you observe that his health Lecame affected
MDR time before his death Yes ; a month or two
before it. He spoke to me sometimes abet t a lady. I
don't remember the time be find did so. I think it
would be during the first year he lived with me. He
told me her name was Miss Smith. He .poke of her by
her Bret name, Madeleine and also called her Minnie. He
' gars me to undenttand that there was a mutual attachment
Wiesen hint and this lady. Ile told me they correipinded
by letter. He told me also that they were in the way of
meeting together. He told me of an interruption in the
intimacy. He told me Miss Smith and he were to be mar-
ried. He said afterwards he waa afraid they would not get
their end aoconiplished, as Miss Smith*s father was putting
stranger objections in the way than ever.
Cross-examined —I understood from hirtmlf that on the
..carton when he visited Helenebnrgh be bed been attacked
with something like cholera. I new the cholera mixture in
him room. It was labelled " l'reparation for cholera."
When he mentioned to me that he WAR going to be married
to her he told me how that was to be accomplished. He did
not attrition the chapel.
Examination euntinued—L'Angelier had • very great
horror of taking medicine, and did not take it often.
Theme, Fleming Kennedy, earthier to W. B. 'Lumina and
Co., merchant., Bothwell street, Glmgow—l knew E*Ange-
tier for about four and a half year.. during which time he was
in the service of Mews. liuggine and Co. I was intimately
acquainted with him. He was flew taken ill, I think, on the
23rd of February. Be was confined to the house after the
23rd till the let of March, when I saw hint again. He epoke
before him death of an attachment to a lady. It was to Mice
Smith, Blythawood.square. He maid nothing about it then
beyond stating that there was an intimacy until February.
One meeting in that month he same to MO with tear. in hie
eye. and mid he had just got ~letter from Miss Sicith dw
mending back all her oorreepondenee. I advitietlhim etrongly
to give bob the letters. He said be would not. He mid
Mims Smith had written that a coldness had arisen on both
pideo, and asking the letters to be given back to leer and the
engagement broken off. Ile told me that was what Mioa
Smith had written to him. When I advised him to return
the letters he said he would not, adding, " I w ill not allow
her to marry another man an long an I'm alive." I said it
was very foolish of him. lie said he knew it WAR ;it was
infatuation; and ho then made the remark, "Oh, 'low,
she'll be the death of me."

Crone-examined by the Dean of Faculty—Did he say any-
thing about wishing himself dead P— Not on that occasion.
On another occasion he said, " I wish I was six feet under
the ground." That was before the occurrence I have now
spoken of. Do you know what was the cause of him making
that statement P—No ; I took no notice of it at the time, 1
did not suppose there was any cause, and I paid no attention
I whatever to it. The that time I knew of L'Angelier being
I seriously ill in this year was in February, but I think he was
slightly ill sometime in January. I don't remolds r what
his illness in January was. I have heard him say that ho
was subject to attacks of bowel complaint. I don't remote-
, bet when be said that, but he did ea, I think, on two
ommions. This was months previous to lair death.
The Court then retired for a few minutes, and on their

TIT; Lord Aiverate Mated that the woe
not yet prepared to go into the diectunion as to the reception
of the lettere, and they would, accordingly, be merely iden-
tified without being reed.
Robert Oliphant, stationer, wbo was examined in the fore-
noon, wee again placed in tho witness-box.
By the Solicitor-General-1 have won all the lettere.
(Shown a document.) This is a minute which I have made
up,"and which correctly give. the eteult of my investigation.
By the Dean—l did not get a die made expressly for Mi..
Smith. I used to stamp my letters with it. Thu letter. of
the die are variable, and can be used for any name.
John Murray—l em a sheriff oifi.cr in Glasgow. Bernard
MPLauchlin and I went through the druggioe.' ebop. in
Olssgew, to inquire about the sale of arsemie. Our inquiry
extended over the months of January, February, and March
lan. I found some of the druggists kept arsenic—Miele kept
it but did not sell it. Others kept register., and from those
neater.. I made eupiee. I learned that front December to
March no person of the name of L'Angelier had purchased
arsenic.

The witness was here withdrawn, and
The Dean of Faculty objected to that question king put.
The inquiry wee a very proper one for the crown to make,
and if any tuiportant feet+ had been obtained by them, they
must be brought out in their proper place; but ho did not
think it right to make a polieentan speak to tbo eontents or
non•eontents of the registers for the solo of areenie of the
Glasgow druggista.
The Lord Advocate said the question was whether the
police officer, in his search, found the tirsehic sold iu Any
resister to a portion of the name of L'Angelier.
The Lord Justice Clerk rid it was quite satiable L'Ange.
liar might have bought arsenic un&r powe other name.
The question wee simply to prove the fact that in the old.-
tars which the witness mid he saw he did not dad the name
of L'Angelits. The question was a proper toe, though it
would prove very little.
This witness and another gave evidence identifying the
keen found in L'Angelior's lodgings.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 4.

" WHAT have I done to these Parisians?" the
EXPZIIOI is said to have exclaimed the other day
when the result of the metropolitan elections was
brought to him; "if there is a city in the world
that ought to be attached to a name, it is Paris to
that of BONAPAZTE." Paris, however, is not grate-
ful; and, although its educated classes, these who
arc not Legitimists, have generally abstained from
the vote, nevertheless the very shopkeeper is more
anxious to give the Government a lemon (that is
the word) than extend to it a blind support. One
is sorry to be obliged to confess that this repugnance
felt by the Parisian trader to his Government, is
less the result of en attachment to liberty and to
the representative system, than of a disgust at the
shameful way in which high functionaries have
enriched themselves and gorged their families with
gold at the expense of the State and of the public.
But, whatever the remota, this fact, at least, is
manifest to Frenchmen, that the urban population
throughout France is hostile to the present system of
government. The Parisian elections speak for
themselves. Five members of the extreme and anti-
dynastic opposition returned in a city full of func-
tionaries and dependents of the Government consti-
tute evidence that cannot be gainsaid. The Prefect
of Lille has been dismissed because he allowed an

opposition candidate to be returned in that city. As 1
Si example of other localities, let the case of Limoges '
be stated. The Mayor wrote to 14.11strriDt, and asked
him whether he would take the oaths if elected ? Hie
reply was, that he would rather be hanged. And
yet, notwithstanding such a reply, BASTIDE bad a
majority of 1,500 amongst the town-electors of
Limoges. He was swamped by the rural electors
of the district, and thus appears in a minority. And
so in many other cases. But the nature of these
town elections is known to the French. And they
can see that the Government is only upheld by the
ignorance of the rustic districts.
In these rustic districts themselves, the functiona-
ries have overdone the business. Prefects and Mayors
had carte blanche to use every means to return the
ministerial candidates, and they were certain to be
dismissed if they failed. Under this strong pressure,
certain Mayors and Prefects have done unwarranta-
ble things, and have in consequence disgusted even
the ignorant rustics. In some districts the popula-
tion knew that they all voted for one candidate,
where the result was that none but blank bulletins
were found in the urn. If a word of reproach be
added to the name on a voting ticket, it invalidates
the vote. Such was frequently found to be the
ease. In ono department the Government candi-
date was enabled to carry the day by a well-timed
shower of hail. The Prefect declared that no district
should get indemnity for the losses caused by the
storm if it returned an oppositionist.
Whatever may have been the truth, the belief
was general throughout France, or at least
throughout its peasantry, that the election of
1832 nu genuine, and the vote unfalaified.
People paid small attention to such matters at
that moment. But the tricks and the pressure, the
persecution and the falsification, evident to every one
in the present election, have created the general
belief that an election by universal suffrage in France
is a juggle, of which Mayors and Prefects have the

key.
It would, however, be wrong to construe this, es
the EMPLROR, in the ejaculation we have recorded,
seems inclined to construe it himself. The opposi-
tion shown to him by either townsfolk or peasant is
b seality lees hostile and kes dangerous than the
him by the Legitimists. Those

support given to him by the Legitimists. Those
who have been returned u members, and walk
r arm in arm with the Imperial Government, do so
merely in ceder to have an opportunity to betray and
destroy it; whereas the shopkeeper and the humble
voter, if he is to have a Monarch, would really pre-
fer a BONAPARTE to any other ruler or any other
family.

They are no enemies of Ntroxraf• 111., and have
no wish to exchange hie rule for either legitimist
absolutionor ultra-democratic violence. But they went
more freedom and less favour. They are not at all
obliged by that beautification of Paris, which has
allowed its proprietors of houses to coalesce and
triple their rents. And they are very inelig-
mM to see Government interfere even in their
pirate business and speculations. It is notorious
flat, especially in provincial towns, discounts and
pecuniary accommodation have been withheld
by the Ranks from traders who have shown them-
selves hostile to the Government. These are the
kind of wrongs and the species of oppression which
artefelt by the citizen class.

they care nothing provided

ing, they injure irreparably the cause which they
I • serve, and depreciate the Furintoa himselt in the
eyes and the hearts of the French people.
Having been thus severe on the manlier and split
in which the French elections have been carried on,
let us mention one or two things,for which the Rare-
', tot deserves credit. In the appeals made throughout
the country on behalf of the Government and its
candidates but little mention is made of that military
l character and renown which the EMPEROR has re-
acquired for France. The 'intention from this is
the mere remarkable, aa it was really the most
powerful plea that could be urged in favour of the
Imperial palsy sad rale.. Tin oriato if Goveleamint
