Cross-examined by Mr. CLAaxsoN—lt was asserted by some che-
mists that the bones of animals contained arsenic. lie believed that
a esmbination of earths would produce this poison.
Dr. Leesom had made additional experiments, which fully con-
firmed hint in the belief that arsenic was present. The quantity of
arsenic re-produced, four grains and one-tenth, would be quite suffi-
cient to cause death. The child would, after poison had been ad-
ministered to it experience great pains in the stomach, the throat
would probably get red, which would extend to the interior of the
mouth ; small postules would gather about the tongue, and all the
symptoms of inflammation of the stomach would be induced.
Charles May had brought a certain portion of earth from Mr.
Richardson's garden, which he gave to Dr. Leesom.

Dr. Leesom was called, and he stated that he might be asked the
question whether arsenic did exist in this earth. He entertained no
doubt that the idea that it could contain arsenic was quite fallacious.
(The trial was proceeding when our report left.)

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY)

THE ASSASSINATION IN DRI7RY-LANE,

The prisoner Graham, it will be remembered, was remanded till
this day on Saturday last, it being thought probable that the grand
jury, meeting on Monday, would be discharged to-morrow, and
Mr. Henry being anxious that the case should come on before their
discharge. The opinion of the medical man on Saturday was, that
131ewitt, though in a very weak state, might yet recover. Unhap-
pily the faint hopes entertained have been vain, as the injured man
died on Monday.
The prisoner was placed at the bar this day at 12 o'clock before
Mr. Henry. There was a remarkable change in his appearance and
demeanour from what they presented on his former examinations.
He was flushed and agitated, and trembled much, his lips quivering,
and the tears running down his cheeks.
_ _

Mr. HENRY, addressing Mr. Humphreys, said—: suppose you
know that the unfortunate man Blewitt has died. It would now be
unadvisable to send the case to the present sessions, as the altered
character of the case will require longer time to prepare the briefs
for you as well as for the prosecution. Besides a very important
witness, Mrs. Cook, has been taken ill, and is confined in the infir-
mary of St. Giles's. I understand that she will net be able to attend
to-day, and I must remand the prisoner until she is able to come here.
Mr. Humphreys said, that he was in such a position, that it would
be his duty to acquiesce in any course which Mr. Henry should think
proper to adopt.
Mr. Joseph Burgess, senior medical officer of the Infirmary, stated
that Mrs. Cook had been three or four days confined there through
severe dysentery, and it was not likely that she would be able to
attend here to givo evidence for some days.
Mr. HENRY ultimately remanded the prisoner to this day fortnight,
the 27th of May.

Mr. Humphreys mentioned that a person, who gave the name of
Kinder, called on him and said that he could give evidence in this case,
as he saw ths transaction. lie (Mr. Humphreys) would not call that
person here as a witness. But he mentioned the circumstance, in
order that the magistrate might examine him if he thought proper.
Mr. HENRY said that, considering the quarter from which the evi-
dence came, he certainly would not call the man.
Mr. Humphreys said that he thought It right to inform Mr. Henry
of the circumstance ; and if he should hereafter think it necessary to
call Kinder as a witness, it could not be said that he had kept any-
thing back.
The prisoner was then removed from the bar.

ANOTHER INTRUDER INTO BUCRINGIIAH—IA LACE.—Previous to
the case of Graham coming on, a rough, weather-beaten, sailor-like
young man, was brought before Mr. Henry, charged with being
found under suspicious circumstances in the garden at the rear of
Buckingham Palace.
The policeman, A 119, who detected the prisoner, stated that, being
on duty in the royal garden, about one o'clock this morning, he was
attracted to a tent, which was erected near the porch of the Palace.
On going into the tent he found the prisoner lying on the sofa,
asleep. On being roused, and asked what brought him there, he
said that he had no money to pay for a bed, and that he had got
over the wall from the park, thinking he would nnd a place to sleep
there unmolested. He further said that his name was Alexander
Reid, and that he was a sailor belonging to her Majesty's friga'e
the Rowley, now lying off Spithead, from which he had run
away. The constable added that the prisoner could not have got
over the wall in the manner or at the part which he had described
to him, and he must have managed very cunningly to get into the
tent without being observed by the soldier who was on guard at the
entrance.

The prisoner, in answer to Mr. Henry, said that he only went
into the garden for the purpose of seeing the Queen, and being
sleepy and without money, he was tempted to lie down on her Ma-
jesty's sofa.
Mr. lIENRY was not satisfied with the prisoner's account of him-
self, and remanded him till Saturday, for the purpose of having in-
quiries made.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. Sales,
7,000 bales. Shares were dull.

The intelligence received of a schism having arisen betvreen't he
Senate and the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic,
upon the important question of the occupancy of Oregon, has been
the matter of much conversation among the mercantile interests this
morning. It is considered that a blow is thus struck at the Polk policy,
which must tend to advance the great principles of amity and of
commerce between the two countries. Indeed several men well
acquainted with the real state of feeling in the United States have
very confident assurances from the other side of the Atlantic that a
ruse has been played off to get President Polk out of the somewhat
dangerous position lie has placed himself in with the whole of the
States, excepting the western, la urging on measures which.
if fully carried out, would render war inevitable. The
bulk of the mercantile interest here, as well as in America, are, of
course, averse to any interruption with the regular course of trade,
as ruin would attend such an event to hundreds of persons. There-
lore it is that this division, strange as it is ix comparison with the
warlike tone previously expressed in former accounts from the United
States that both Houses of the Legislature were determined to assert
their right to the whole of Oregon, is held to be a sign that the rela-
tions with the Republic will not be disturbed. a
The mercantile markets are rather dull just now, and trade in
general does not seem to be brisk.
At a special meeting of the East India proprietors- held this
morning, annuities were voted unanimously to Sir H. Hardinge and
General Gough.
The Stock Market is fiat again this :morning, and there has been
very little doing even at the reduced quotations. Consols have been
96% % for present transfer, and 06% % for time. On Exchequer-
bills the premium has been down to 255. and 225. Bank Stock has
been firm at 204%.
The Foreign Investments have been dull, and fluctuate but little.
Spanish Five per Cents. realise 24%, and the Three per Cents. 37 to
36%. Portuguese Converted are 57%. Mexican Actives are better,
being 32% to 33 ; and for Account, 3314. The Deferred are marked
15% to 16.
There is a very dull market for Railway Shares and Scrip, and
prices are flatter.

CORN-EXCHANGE —WEDNESDAY
Although the arrivals of English Wheat since Monday have not
be en extensive, we had a large number of that day's unsold samples
on offer. The attendance of buyers being small, the demand ruled
necessarily
'eavy, at barely the late depression in the quotations.
The
show of free foreign Wheat was trifling, yet the sale for that
article was doll,
