iantity of arse ' ssary to destroy life depended
on the way in w c it was administered; in some eases
a very small quantity was sufficient. He believed the
smallest quantity recorded was 6 grains; 30 grains were
generally required for an adult. Until this time this quan-
tity,..would not have been discovered. He believed 100
chemists would have missed it; but any chemist using
the means he had, and the same delicacy of manipula-
tion, would have found it. Time was of no importance
in the detection of arsenic in a dead body. He wished
that to be distinctly understood, and that it should go
forth to the public.
Dr. Symonds deposed that he was struck by the re-
markable preservation of the viscera, though he should
hesitate in drawing any inference from that fact only;
he visited the deceased three times before her death,
At his first interview he found her in a state of great ex-
haustion, with low Lever, irritation of the lining mem-
brane of? the bowels, as indicated by diarrheas, irrita-
Lion of the windpipe, as indicated by hoarseness and
accelerated breathing, which led him to consider the
disease pulmonary; but on examination of her chest he
found no evidence of any such disease. She haid pain
in swallowing, which he attributed to irritation of the
lining membrane of the oesophagus, below the gullet.
He considered the case an irregular form of gastro-
enterric fever, found in 'women sometimes after con-
finement, and which was attributable to a morbid
poison generated in the body. Neither of his
prescriptions contained any portion of arsenic,
or any compound into which arsenic might
by possibility have entered. Taking the post shorten
examination in connexion with the symptoms which he
witnessed, and his knowledge that arsenic was found in
the body, he was of opinion that the disorder under
which the deceased laboured, and of which she died, was
caused by arsenic; he saw the husband once only, on the
occasion of his first visit. The symptoms in this case
were such as might have arisen from arsenic. Vomiting
and purging were amongst the most common symptoms
of swallowing arsenic.

Mr. John flumpage said he was Mrs. Hill's medical
practitioner. He had heard Mr. Herapath's evidence,
and he was of opinion that her death was occasioned by
small and repeated dotes of arsenic. None of the meth.
sines he bad administered contained arsenic.
After some further evidence, the inquest was again
adjourned till to-morrow (Tuesday).

MURDEROUS ATTACK.
The valet of the Earl of Besborough, the Master of
the Buckbounds, was robbed and almost murdered, by
gang of four ruffians (supposed to be connected with
the hordes of thimble-riggers attracted to Amp for the
purposes of plunder), between nine are Lep- o'clock in
the evening of Thursday last. The Earl,ofaesborough
was staying at Martin's Mane the residence of Lady
Mary Bulkeley, in the neighbourhood of the Heath,
during the races, with the Earl of Chesterfield and
other noblemen. On Thursday evening, while his Lord-
ship was dining with a large party, the valet proceeded
to the Steward's Stand, on the course—a distance of
about two miles from Martin's Herne, for the purpose
of giving some instructions to the persons there re-
lating to the arrangements of his master for the following
day. On his return, when about half-way between the
stand and the mansion, he was beset by four ruffians, who
with dreadful imprecations, demanded his money or his
life, threatening to murder him if he made the least
noise, or attempted any resistance. Without however
giving him time to reply, they set upon him, knocke(l
him down, and struck him with their fists and thick
bludgeons over the head and face till he was insen-
sible. They then robbed him of his gold watch and
chain, four sovereigns, and some loose silver. Upon
his recovering his senses, after the lapse of some time,
he found himself covered with blood, flowing from
wounds on the head and face, his eyes nearly closed
from the blows he had received, and his body severely
contused. He at last managed to get back to Martin's
Berne, with his clothes nearly torn off his back. An
instant pursuit was immediately made after the ruffians,
but no traces of them were discovered. Lord Be:borough
left
the course, at the conclusion of the races on Friday.
for the Royal Hotel at Slough, and afterwards proceeded
to town by the railway, •

MAIL COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND.,--Then is
every probability that the proper authorities will take
immediate measures to improve the mail communication
between this country and the sister island, by causing
the bags to be transmitted from Dublin to London, yid
Holyhead, instead of, as at present, being sent through
Liverpool. This important arrangement, which it is ex-
pected will be carried into effect during the ensuing
month of July, will cause the delivery of the Iris
papers and correspondence in the English metropolis
in eleven or twelve hours after leaving Dub•
lin. This is an improvement of great importance
to the commercial and manufacturing interests
of both countries; and one that ought not to be delayed
longer than is absolutely necessary. The remaining por-
tion of the Chester and Hol)head line of railway.
through the island of Anglesey, is ready for being
opened; and the extraordinary fast steam-vessels, just
built on the Thames, effect the passage across the
Irish Charnel iu three. and-a-half hours. The jetties in
the Holyhead harbour are ready fir their reception, and
the very extensive national works there are progressing
satisfactorily. The traffic will be carried across the sus-
pension bridge until the completion of the stupendous
tubular bridge over the Menai, the tubes for which are
being constructed on scaffolding erected on the shores of
the Menai Straits, and a large number of men are con-
stantly engaged in the structure of the massiveth stone
piers
the
piers and approaches. It is gratifying to state
second tubular bridge fur the passage of the river Con-
way is being rapidly carried on, and will_ be completed
in a much less space or time than its predecessor. The
line has been opened for goods traffic, and therehe distance
is
trteveryeee
probability of its business fast increasing. The
from Bangor to Chester, 60 miles, is now traversed
two hours and five minutes.—Morning Chronicle.'
