ON BOARD THE MAIL STEAMER GEORGIANA,
June 17.

I am on my way back to Washington. Up to this
morning I have not received the letter promised by
General van Vriet, nor an answer from my friend,
the Colonel of M'Clellan's Staff. I believe they do
not want European eyes there, not because foreign
correspondents might give information to the enemy,
but because they are perfectly independent from all
party interests here and very likely to speak truth
and nothing but the truth. I shall however try in
Washington the regular way, and hope I shall sue-
ceed. Having got a pass like other correspondents
I shall return to M'Clellan's army. Ido not think
I shall be too late, for it is the general impression
that weeks will pass before M'Clellan has finished
his circumstantial preparations. However the Con-
federates may attack, and if wise they will do so,
just because M'Clellan does not like it.
If you ask me what is my impression in regard to
the result, I must candidly tell you that I am by no
means certain on that point. When Napoleon shut
his telescope he could frequently say, " These peo-
ple—the enemy—are already beaten." M'Clellanis no Napoleon, and after having used his fieldglass
he is not much wiser than before. In the battles
here everything is guesswork, and military science
goes for nothing. In fact, they are no battles, but
only fights on a large scale. One little accident may
bring about a rout as bad as that at Bull Run.
7Nl‘Clellan may feel this, and therefore hesitate to
stake all on a battle. There are plenty of people
here who call him a traitor, and Al'Dowell also.
Nonsense. He is no Republican fanatic, and does
not forget that on the other side are not foreign
enemies, but people whom he once called friends and
brethren. His friends praise him for his forbear-
ance and care to spill as' little blood as possible.
To me it seems that he is exorcising the Devil by
Beelzebub ; the sword would not devour half as
many men as the swamp fever and the negligence
in the quartermaster's department does.
By people coming from the army—and there are
a surprising number of officers going home on fur-
lough—l hear that the negligence there is very
great in every department, and they complain parti-
cularly about the imperfect arrangements in regard
to the wounded. Even now they pick up from the
battlefield at Seven Pines not only single dead, who
sometimes evidently died by:neglect, but dozens of
them. I spoke to many persons of every condition,
from the high officer down to the waggoner, and all
I hear only confirms my above expressed opinion.

There are some wounded and other officers from
Blenker's division in town, and I hear from them
many interesting details about the battle at Cross
Keys. The colonel of the De Kab regiment, which
was not in front, went with another regiment as a
volunteer, and was shot through his leg, not the
breast. Col. von Gilser is here, and hopes to be soon
in the field again. About the colonel of the Bth New
York Regiment strange stories are told. Leading
his regiment against seven regiments of the Confe-
derates—l hope they were not in buckram—he at
once dropped from his horse into a corn field, where
he remained. Arriving in hospital, he protested
against his being attended before his soldiers, but
when the doctors insisted they found no scratch on
the colonel, but a rupture which he got by his men
trampling on him when advancing over his body.
When the soldiers heard of this story they wanted
to shoot their colonel, who, however, hearing the
rumour against him, at once left the hospital and
joined his regiment. Blenker behaved very well,
and intended to renew the battle next morning, but
was ordered to keep quiet by Fremont. His be-
haviour in battle has reconciled many of his ene-
mies. I think Blenker will become a major-general
soon. He is expected to arrive here.
Old Papa Struve is also here. He was with
Necker, the chief of the revolution in Baden in 1848
and 1849. Not being a military man, old Struve
entered Blenker's regiment as a private, and is now
a very brave and zealous captain. He is a very
learned man, with some peculiarities about
him. He is a vegetarian, and to look at his
healthy face was the best reccmmendation of the
system. However, now he looks horribly altered
.uc Alaiuzuips u 1 Luat, campaign in vv estern
Virginia. He has become so used to bad food and
a few biscuits a day that his stomach cannot bear
other food. The sufferings of the poor soldiers in
Western Virginia surpass even those of M'Clellan's
army, and beggar description. General Charles
Schurz is brigadier in partibus, and attached to the
Staff of Fremont. He has picked out four of the
best regiments of Blenker's division, but Blenker
said he will give in his resignation if Schurz got them.
The Secretary of War is trying all possible means
to induce people to enter the army, the ranks of
which will become thinner by and by, but the recruit-
ing goes on very slowly. No wonder, for the sad
tales and faces of the returning poor sick and
wounded are not just the sort of thing to induce
people to place themselves under the care of blun-
dering generals, negligent doctors, and roguish
quartermasters.

the Foxhound, 4, Commander the Hon. A. Hobart.
It is expected this vessel after refitting will be de •
spatched to Corfu. The screw gunboat Surprise,
4, Commander Whyte, is still refitting and under-
going repairs, preparatory to being :stationed on
the coast of Syria. Lieut. the Hon. J. B. Vivian

to return to Gibraltar. The Malacca, 17, Capt. J.
Napier, will, rumour says, also proceed to Gibraltar.
The screw frigate Doris, 32, Capt. Sir F. L.
M'Clintock, is still here, having her boilers put in
order. The other ships in port are the receiving-
ship Hibernia (flag of Rear-Admiral H. J. Codring-
ton, C. 8.), the little gunboat Boxer, and the
Hearty tug. The Medina surveying-vessel, Capt.
• T. A. B. Spratt, C. 8., is at present busily engaged
completing the survey of Malta and Gozo. The
Italian steam corvette Tripoli, 3, is the only foreign
man-of-war here.

The Severn, 51, 500 horse power, belonging to
the first-class steam reserve at Chatham, has left

stances, where I knew there was a hereditary taint,
I should suspect that insanity would develop itself.
Cross-examined---It is difficult in ordinary cases
to distinguish between a paroxysm of insanity and
of ordinary passion.
Re-examined—l should take into consideration
the other features of the case in forming an opinion.
Dr. Copland, the author of " Copland's Medical
Dictionary," expressed his concurrence with the last
witness.

This was the case for the prisoner.
Mr. Chambers having replied,
The learned judge summed up, and the jury
found a verdict of " Not guilty, on the ground of
insanity."
The learned judge, therefore, ordered the prisoner
to be confined during her Majesty's pleasure.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Crompton.)
TIIE HENDON MURDER.

Yesterday, upon his lordship taking his seat in
this court, James Lawrence, 29, labourer, was in
dieted for the wilful murder of Anne Sarah Cox, at
Hendon, on the 29th March. He was likewise
charged upon the coroner'3 inquisition.
Mr. Giffard prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh and Mr.
Williams defended.

The prisoner, who pleaded not guilty, remained
seated during the whole of the trial, and seemed in
great pain, his face presenting a most fearfully dis-
figured appearance.
The case, as stated by the learned counsel, and
corroborated by the witnesses, was that the prisoner,
who is a labouring man, lived at Mill-hill, Hendon,
and the deceased also lived there with her mother.
The prisoner was paying his addresses to her, and
had done so for some time ; and about the period
of this occurrence he entertained some feelings of
jealousy towards the deceased. For about a week
preceding the 29th, the prisoner had lodged in the
house with deceased and her mother. Upon the
morning of the 29th, about six o'clock, the pri-
soner, as usual, called the deceased as he went to
his work, and also said to Mrs. Bethel, the
deceased's mother, " good morning." Shortly after
this Mrs. Bethel heard a loud noise, and she got
up, but was unable to get out of the room. She
then raised an alarm from the window, and a
labouring man, named Shayler, who was passing,
entered the kitchen of Mrs. Bethel's house, and
there saw the deceased girl lying upon her back
with a wound in her throat. Some of the
neighbours came in and raised her upon the sofa,
shortly after which she died. A:double barrelled gun,
freshly discharged, was found standing against the
copper. The prisoner was then found to have shot
himself in the head, causing a fearful lacerated
wound, from the effects of which he was for some
time in a dangerous state in the hospital.
The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr.
Sleigh addressed the jury on the part of the
prisoner.
The learned judge having summed up, the jury
retired to consider their verdict, and, after an
absence of an hour and a quarter, returned into
court and delivered a verdict finding the prisoner
guilty of murder, with a strong desire to recom-
mend him to mercy, in the behalf that although at
the time he was responsible for his actions, he was
labouring under great excitement, and that he had
a belief that there was something wrong about the
young woman.
Proclamation having been made,
The learned Judge put on the black cap, and
passed sentence of death in the usual form, holding
out no hope of mercy, but promising to forward the
recommendation of the jury to the proper quarter.
The prisoner was then removed in a sinking state.
I The jury before leaving signed a petition to Sir G.
Grey in favour of a commutation of the sentence.

THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF
ALLEGED WHOLESALE POISONING.

Yesterday Constance Wilson, alias Catherine
Taylor, who stands charged with causing the death
of Mrs. Ann Atkinson, a respectable married wo-
man, by the administration of poison, was again
placed at the bar of the Lambeth police-court be-
fore the Hon. Mr. Norton for further examination.

Mr. Chipperfield again appeared for the prosecu-
tion, and Mr_ Neale for the prisoner. The court
was again much crowded.
Mr. Chipperfield, addressing the magistrate, said
that he had been in communication with the Home-
office, and had ascertained that Dr. Taylor desired
further time for the purpose of making the analysis
of the viscera of the deceased, and it was also
thought some further delay was necessary for the
ends of justice. In the case at present before the
court he would only proceed to call one witness to-
day, and then apply for a further remand.
Mr. Leonard Dixon Lund was then called into
the witness-box, and sworn. He deposed that he
resided at 7, Stanhope-street, Edgware-road, and
that he was the salesman of a wholesale furniture
warehouse. The deceased Mrs. Atkinson was his
aunt, and he first heard of her being ill on the
wftwe h.r T
Mr Chipperfield—How did you first hear of
your aunt's illness ?
Witness—The prisoner called at the place of busi-
ness at which I am engaged on the day before my
aunt died, and told me that my aunt, Mrs. Atkinson,
was in town, staying at her house, and that she
was very unwell, and had been so ever since her
arrival. I asked the prisoner it she had written to
Mr. Atkinson about it, and she replied " Yes, she
had telegraphed for him, and he was in town."
Mr. Norton—Did the prisoner say what the
nature of your aunt's illness was ?
Witness—She did not She merely said that she
was very ill, and had been so ever since she had
been in town ; but did not say what was the matter
with her.
Mr. Chipperfield—State to the magistrate what
else passed between the prisoner and yourself on
that occasion.
Witness—She asked me to return with her to her
house in Loughborough-street in a cab ; but being
rather busy at the time I could not do so.
Mr. Chipperfield—Did you afterwards go to the
prisoner's house ?
Witness—Yes, I went there on that same evening,
and there saw my aunt, who was very ill indeed.
Mr. Norton—Do you recollect the prisoner say-
ing anything to you when you got to her house,
and before you saw your aunt ?
Witness—I have no doubt she spoke to me; but
I do not now recollect what she said.
Mr. Chipperfield—Go on, and state what next
occurred ?
Witness—Shortly after I got there I went up
stairs and saw my aunt, who appeared to me to be in
a very low state. She was breathing slowly, and
appeared to take very little notice of anything.
Mr. Chipperfield—Did she recognise you ?
Witness—Yes, she knew me, and called me by
my name. Looking at me she said, "Poor Dick,"
alluding to an observation of ray second name of
Dixon, by which I was familiarly known by the
family.
Mr. Norton—Did she at that time say anything
to you about her being in danger ?
Witness—No, sir.
Mr. Norton—Did she say anything to you about
her having been robbed at Rugby ?
Witness—Not a word.
Mr. Norton—Did she speak to you about money
matters ?
Witness—No, sir.
Mr. Chipperfield—When you first saw your aunt
was she lying quiet ?
Witness—No, sir; she appeared to be rather rest-
less, and was not quiet the whole of the time I
remained at the prisoner's house, about three hours
or three hours and a half, and was in and out of
my aunt's room three or four times.
Mr. Chipperfield—Did you observe any particu-
lar symptoms while you were there ?
Witness—Yes
she retched a great deal, and
;
seemed to be suffering considerably.
Mr. Chipperfield—During your stay on this
occasion had you any conversation with the pri-
soner, and if so, what was it about?
Witness-1 had, some talk with the prisoner,
but I cannot state that she said anything particular
about Mrs. Atkinson.
Mr. Chipperfield—Or about the alleged robbery
at Rugby ?
AVitness—No ; I did not hear anything of that
until after my aunt's death.
Mr. Norton—Did you see your aunt take any-
thing during the time you were in the room ?
Witness—No, I do not recollect, but on the fol-
lowing day I do recollect her taking something.
Mr. Chipperfield—While you were there on the
first evening did you leave the room in consequence
of anything the prisoner did or said?
Witness—Yes, the prisoner beckoned to me to
leave the room twice or three times. I thought
she wanted to attend to my aunt, and I left the
room accordingly.
Mr. Chipperfield—Was the retching going on
then ?

Witness—Yes ; it would be about the time the
retching would be going on•
Mr. Chipperfield—Did you go to the prisoner's
house the next day ?
-Witness—Yes ; I went there about five o'clock in
the evening, and again saw my aunt, who appeared
to be very weak, and as I thought dying. She said
it was a hard struggle, and would see her to her far
end. She complaineffof thirst and beckoned for water.
The prisoner was in the room and assisted in getting
water or drink when my aunt beckoned for it, and
I remember the prisoner taking Mrs. Atkinson's
feet off the bed and placing them on the floor. This
was became my aunt was very restless, and wished
her feet to be moved. I supported my aunt in znY
arms, but previoui to doing so I noticed that the

bolster had been taken, away, and my aunt's head
was lying very low. I could not bear to see my aunt
lying in such a position, and complained of it, when
the prisoner said it would only prolong her suffer-
ings, and that I should let her be as she was. I,
however, sat beside my aunt and held her in my
arms until she was quite dead. Mr. Atkinson was
in the room up to within half an hour of my aunt's
death. He was either carried out of the room or
walked out, I do not know which.
Mr. Norton—Were there any remarks made by
the prisoner about Rugby that you can remember ?
Witness—The only remarks I remember was that
(c My aunt had been taken ill and robbed at Rugby ;"
,se remarks were made on the Saturday, the
her death.
yda but these
Ncrton—State, as nearly as you can remem-
ber, what
Witness'' was said.
The prisoner mentioned about Mrs.
Atkinson hav:n
been robbed at Rugby, and that
she was taken
itn
ill there ; that she was going to
the water closet, g
and that some female followed
her, and that on
coming out, a gentleman, who
was standing by
aLs
lkked Mrs. Atkinson if she had
lost anything ; that
1,-s. Atkinson felt, and found
that she had lost
ha pocket. The gentleman
pointed out the person wb
o followed her, and said
that she had it. That Mrs
Atkinson spoke to the
female, who gave her the
po,lket, and said she was
keeping or saving it for her.. Ido not remember
that the prisoner said anything' more.
Mr. Norton here remarked that this went on to
been robbed at
show that the deceased had not
Rugby.
The witness further stated that the prisoner, and
the man Taylor, who was living with her at the
time, accompanied the remaivs of his aunt and Mr.
Atkinson from her house to the railway station,
where he (witness) met them, and accompanied the
corpse to the cemetery.
In cross-examination by Mr. Neale, the witness
stated that he saw Dr. Nairne in attendance on the
deceased on the Friday, the day of her death. He
did not see the doctor on the Thursday.
Mr. Chipperfield said that this was all the evi-
dence he proposed to adduce to-day, and should re-
quest a remand. He wish•ed at the same time to
state, that there were two other cases in which the
prisoner was implicated at preoent undergoing in-
vestigation. The one was that of a Mr. Peter
Peter Mewer, a master mariner, who died in Oct.,
1854, and with whom the prisoner had lived as
housekeeper at Boston, in Lincolnshire. In his
case an inquest had already been opened, and the
Superintendent of the Boston Police, Mr. Waghorn,
was now in court, having been despatched to Lon-
don with portions of the body of the deceased, for
the purpose of being subjected by Professor Taylor
tOcheraical tests.
Mr. Waghorn here handed up to his worship a
local journal, containing a report of the proceed•
ings at the inquest as far as they had proceeded,
and especially pointed out the evidence of Mrs.
Attershale, who had attended the late Mr. Mewer
as nurse for ten days before his death. That
witness, in her evidence, said the deceased was
always worse at night after ten. He was always
sick and purged at night, and complained of pains
in his stomach and head. The last night he lived
he was decidedly worse, and he was almost inces-
santly sick and purged. The witness proved that
she never gave the deceased food or medicine her-
self, but that Mrs. Wilson herself always admini-
stered them. No one was allowed to come to see
him. He always said he was worse after taking
tea, and that he should never like toa any more if
he got well. There was no one in the house to give
him tea but Mrs. Wilson. _ _

The other case was that of Mrs. Soames, with
whom the prisoner had lived, and who died in
1856, under very similar circumstances to the case
under investigation before his worship.
The prisoner was then remanded to a future day,
and was removed from the bar.

MURDER. AND SUICIDE AT SHAD WELL,

Yesterday evening an inquisition was taken be-
fore Mr John Humphreys, coroner, in the large
dining-room of the Albion Tavern, High-street,
Shadwell, on the bodies of Ramon Capele Vila Roca,
a Spaniard, aged 30, and Leonora or Honora Scan-
nell, aged 24 years, a woman of the town.
The tragedy which led to the investigation
occurred in a brothel, kept by a woman named Ker-
sig, at No. 12, Albert-square, Albert-street, High-
street, Shadwell, on Saturday afternoon last. The
Spaniard, a bricklayer, who came to this country
from the Havana six weeks ago, murdered the
woman Scannell, a native of Ireland, and directly
afterwards shot himself.

Mr. George Allison. inspector of the K
and a large body of police were in attendance to
preserve order.
Margaret Kersig, a native of Germany, said that
she kept the lodging-house, No. 12, Albert-square,
Shadwell. The deceased, Leonora or Honora
Scannell, had been lodging with her for seven
weeks. The Spaniard Roca had been staying with
rho Apeen.Pd. Scannell for four weeks. On Saturday
afternoon last Scannell called to her and said, " Do
come upstairs and turn him out of the house, for I
cannot clear up my room."
The Coroner—Did you talk to him about leaving
before Friday or Saturday ?
Witness—The deceased woman told me on Satur-
day she thought he had no more money, for she had
not received any of him for a week. When I was
called upstairs on Saturday afternoon I said to the
Spaniard, " Why don't you leave the place ?" He
said " All right ; wait 10 minutes, and I'll find her
plenty of money." The witness, after detailing
some irrelevant matters, said, " I told the S paniard
not to bring any pistols to me, and left the room.
I had got half way downstairs when the girl called
out lam stabbed ! I am stabbed !' I made an
alarm, called for the police, and left the house. I
ran into the street. The girl fell down the stairs
before I left the house. The Spaniard heard
Leonora say she was stabbed before I left
the house. He had a pistol and a dagger in
his hand when I was called upstairs. He
presented a pistol at me. I believe the deceased
Spaniard had been drinking on Saturday ; he was
not quite drunk, nor quite sober.
In answer to further questions by the Coroner,
the witness said the Spaniard kicked the girl down
the stairs. She believed that kick caused the girl
to fall on her head at the bottom of the stairs. She
returned in half an hour, and found Roca and Scan-
nell both dead. The Spaniard was very fond of
the girl. They often quarrelled about other men.
The Spaniard was very jealous of the girl. The
deceased woman was a prostitute.
In answer to questions by the jurors, the witness
said the Spaniard brought home about £24, of
which the deceased might have had about £5.
Mary Lacey, an old Irish woman, who lived as
servant at the house No. 12, Albert-square, gave
evidence in confirmation of the last witness, and of
jealousies, suspicions, and quarrels between the de-
ceased persons. The girl was anxious the Spaniard
should leave her several days before the murder
and suicide, but he would not do so, and said she
should not form an intimacy with any other man,
and that he had plenty of money to give her.
About three o'clock on Saturday the deceased
woman fell at the bottom of the stairs into wit-
ness's arms, and said " I am a dead woman !"
The Coroner—Did you see the Spaniard stab her?
Witness—He was behind the girl with a dagger
in one hand and a chair in the other. While the girl
was in my arms he struck her with the dagger seve-
ral times—two or three times at least. They were
all in front of her person. The Spaniard said he
would not kill me, but he would kill her and kill
himself afterwards. _

In answer to a juror the witness said the deceased
man did not spend more than £6 upon the woman
Scannell during the four weeks he was with her.
The Spaniard was jealous of a Portuguese seaman
who used to visit Honora.
Robert Smith, a police-constable, No. 253 K, said
—I went to the house, No. 12, Albert-square, on
Saturday afternoon. The deceased Spaniard was
standing at the street door with a pistol in one hand
and a dagger in the other, and I told him to lay
them down. He would not, and said, " I will shoot
you. I blow my head off—l shoot one." I asked
him again to lay them down. He refused to do so. I
struck at him with my staff,which hit the door frame.
He shut the door, bolted it, and fastened himself in.
He ran upstairs and opened the window. He looked
out, and the mob threw oyster shells and stones at
him. He then drew back, and in a moment after-
wards I heard the report of a pistol. I forced a way
into the house, and entered it with other constables.
The deceased woman was lying at the foo eta
rtlsh
stairs quite dead. On entering the room up__s

could not say from his own knowledge whether
that was true or not. _

THE T
ISLINGTON DOG SHOW.—Some excitement
was caused in Leeds on Monday by the rumour that Mr. T.
D. Appleby, of Briggate, had suspended payment, and yes-
terday morning his creditors received the following letter,
explanatory of the step he had felt compelled to adopt :--
" Leeds, July 8, 1862. Sir,—l regret having to inform you
that owing to the heavy losses Mr. Thomas Dawkins Ap-
pleby, of this town, cheese and bacon factor, has sustained,
he is compelled to suspend payment. lam therefore di- •
rected to call a meeting of his creditors, to be held at the
Griffin Hotel, Leeds, on Friday next, the 11th instant, at
12 o'clock at noon, when Mr. Appleby will submit a state-
ment of his affairs to the meeting, and be prepared to take
such steps as shall be considered advisable for the benefit of
his creditors.-1 am, sir, yours most obediently, WILLIAg
CLABKE, 3, Bank-street." It is stated that Mr. Appleby's
last speculation—the Dog Show at Islington—resulted in a
considerable deficiency, and to this cause, amongst others,
his difficulties are described.—Leeds Mercury.
[ADVERTISEMENT,]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Distempers of the Skin.—The readiness with which Hollo-
way's unguent removes all obstructions in the circulation of
the vessels and lymphatics explains their irresistible in-
fluence in healing old sores, bad wounds, and indolent
ulcers. To ensure the desired effect the skin surrounding
the diseased part should be fomented, diled, and imme-
diately well subbed with the ointment. This will givo
purity to the foul blood and strength to the weakened
nerves—the only conditions necessary for the cure of all
those hideous ulcerations which render life almost intoler-
able. No sooner is the ointment's protective power exerted
than the destructive process ceases and the constructive
business begins—new healthy growths appear to fill up the
lately painful excavated pit.
