blood,] and bad continued to do so up to the time of
her death, and had had a pain in her throat and a diffi-
culty in swallowing. Previous to that she had not felt
any such inconveniences. On the Bth she died.
Coroner : What was the cause of death ? Witness
Tetanus, induced by convulsion of the throat, accom-
panied with terror.
Exatnination continued : On the 10 h he made a post
mqrtim examination of the body. (The witness then,
went on to deserbe the appearance of the body, the par-
ticulars of which were published when he was examines
before the magistrates)

The Coroner : Does the result of von- examination
confirm your views as to the eatte of death ? Witness
Decidedly so. .
The
,Coroner : What, in your opinion, brotght on
tetanus? Witness: Injury to the neck, induced by
violence, combined with terror. I considered the deceased
of a weak constitution; that weakneis arose Frorri a lOW
fever, for which I attended her some two years since.

,
By a Juror : Such terror as caused by the death of her
husband and father would cause some excitement. She

could not have injured her throat in that site by a fill
when in a state' of intoxication. ,

Cross-examination by Mr. Bretherton The ulcers
might have existed without any external mark 4.. I never
saw the brother, nor did I call him or any other person
to hear the narration about her brother. I took It on
myself.' It did not strike me to call in a magis' rare. I
did not hire any person to assist me in the post morte,n
examination. Terror must be associated with the injury
to produce tetanus. I was not a witness to the will. I
heard that she had made a will, and that it was in favour
of the child of the' first witness.

Ann' Barlow, a little girl, who could not tell her ar,,
was next called. She said she had lived with the
deceasel since Christmas last. Hugh Parry lived there,
and he always behaved well to the deceased up to the time
of the wakes, when he threw his cap at her and gave her a,
black eye. 'I never knew him to do anything more tha
.that, although I have been in the house night and day
since last Christmas. It was explained that the child
was not right in her bead, having suffered from an, tied-.
'dent by which she was nearly killed.
This concluded the evidence. , • ,
Mr. Bretheram applied to say a few words to the jury
on behalf of the accused.
The Coroner said, he did not think such a course was
necessary on the present occasion, and would, therefore,
proceed at once to recapitulate the statement made by
the witnesses. The question, they had" to decide was,
when, where, and how the deceased came by her death.
He then read over the witnesses' statements, and ex-
pressed his stirpriSe that ;there had been no external
marks, and as to.the evidence as to their having lived
:together comfortable, except at certain times— The jury
would have to say, whether the ulcers in the throat
arose from syphilis or
,not. He thnifght. that it was
extraordinary that there, was no 'external marks of
violence found on the deeeased, and left it for the jury to
say, whether the deceased died from violence, and if so,
by whom that violence was inflicted.
After a consultation of-about a quarter of An hour, the
jury returned a verdict of " Pun BY TIIE trisTrarioN alt
GOD."

LATEST INTELLIGENCE`

THE SPANISH. INSUBRECTION

A despatch just received from.Madrid,announces
that the struggle between the-garrison of that--city
and the National Guards continued.
The rumour that a Republic had been declared,
is stated to be unfounded; on the contrary, the
Queen, on presenting herself to the troops, met
with a hearty reception.
A later despatch adds that a suspension of hos-
tilities had taken place, and a truce to continue
until five o'clock: had been agreed to, but
.General
O'Donnell had communicated to the leader Of the
insurgents, that, if they did not by that time submit,
the troops would be brought to act against them
with the utmost vigour.
At the departure of the last despatch, it was
declared that all telegraphic communication would
be stopped. . .
A. despatch dated Paris ten o'clock last night,
mentions the receipt of intell;gence.from Madrid,
dated the 16th, to the effect that the Republic had
been subdued

The Government had nominated a new munici-
pality, and declared the Peninsula in a state of

siege.

FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN. CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING

.Not one of the Paris papers of this evening
knew any thing of the important piece of news:
which. I sent you yesterday, of the retirement or•
expulsion (I hardly know Which it is to be called),
of General Espartero from the government of
Spain, and of his being replaced by O'Donnell.
The government has to-day received news that
General O'Donnell has composed his Cabinet as

follows :
General O'Donnell, President of the Council, an.d.
Minister of War. _

M. Luziaga, Minister of Peace arid Justice.
M. Cantero, Minister of Finance.
Rosati, Minister of the Interior.
M. Collodi% Minister* of Public Works. • -
M. Pastor Benz, Minister of Foreign Affaixs.
The French government, I understand,.exOects
that this Ministry cannot stand, and it is not
out apprehensions that the formation of it will lead

to anarchy

The Senate has definitively voted the erection
of a column near the Panthean, to celebrate the
glory of the French army in the late war, and of
the Emperor in making peace. The reports and.
other doeuments subruittLd to the • Senate on the
subject, are published in the Moniteur to-day.'
They are remarkable to two things7-the fulsome
terms 'in which the exploits of the French are
spoken of, and the observance_ of absolute silence
with respect to England., Sardinia, ands Turkey.
An official return shows that the indirect tuxes
yielded 419,732,000 fr. in the first half of the preEentr
year, 442,000,000 fr. in the same period of last year,.
and 404,000,000 fr, in that of 1854.
The semi-official Patrie of this evening confirms;
what I told you yestei-day of the seizure of an
offensive pamphlet against General Williams, of
Kars, at Constantinople, and of the punishrneni
of the author of it. - _ _

The following extract from a private letter from
a friend at Madrid, dated the 11th, is not without
interest, as showing the view which was taken
there of " the situation" on that day. The tele-
graphic news mentioned in my letter of yesterday
and to-day, proves, however, that 'that was 'hot
exact :
In politics there is nothing striking to tell
you of. beyond what you know. The significi.
tion of the recent troubles has b6en a good deal
exaggerated here, and must he more so abroad'
It is. unquestionably the reactionary parties Who
have caused them, in order to damage the •govern.i.
ment,.and, if possible, to oyerthrow,the Constitu-
tion. But according to all probability the design
will .end in failure. .The first consequence. of the
machination has been a complete fusion between
the Progressists and the Democrats,—a fusion
effected by. the parties themselves without any
riegociatiens by the chiefs, And what is remirli-
able is, that these'two parties are, for the momentr
Conservative. ThiS fusion leads me to believe'
that the Constitutonal regini3 will not be ()vet'
thrown, in spite of the eff•irts which are male IV
the Court, and the generals who took part in the
last revolution. •
".It is rePorted that O'Donnell, in the last
Council of Ministers, prOposed to declare ell
Spain in a state of siege, and that even Espartero
adhered to the project, but that the two Geneval4
differed as to the- manner in which the measure
should. be' .carried out, and that in particular,
Espartero refused to suspend all newspapers as.
demanded by O'Dpnnell.
" The great question of.the.dav is,(as you knowY
the dissolution of the Cortes. The, court and it 4
