THE SUN,

LON DON,

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
At no period hive the varied lectures been more
attractive or instructive, and the crowded audiences
during the season prove how deservedly popular this
admirable institution is viewed by the public, and the
successive visitors appear, from week to week, ad-
vancing in the intelligence and interest with which
they attend them.
This, of course, must in some measure be ac-
counted for by the acknowledged improvement of the
public discernment in the appreciation of the more
refined taste of intelligence in the advancement of
science and manufacture.

The popular style of lecturing, so well known to our
readers, and so admirably carried out by the profes-
sors of the establishment, is deserving of the highest
eulogium we can pronounce, the discourses being
given by Dr. Bachhoffner and Mr. J. H. Pepper in so
distinct and simple a style that the most abstruse
science is rendered clear and intelligible to the
meanest capacity.
The principal subject of Dr. Bachhoffner's pre-
sent series of lectures on the deposits of the Great
Exhibition, are the electro-metallic deposits, illus-
trated by numerous beautiful experiments on the
art of electro-plating, while his coadjutor is engaged
in describing the application of steel and iron in the
manufactures of the United Kingdom. In addition
bo the above, we may mention the vast improvements
lately discovered by Mr. Beard, jun., in the beautiful
art of photography, which has been brought to such
a degree of perfection, as to be equal to a fine enamel;
so completely is the colour hardened and preserved by
the new preparation, that it will bear the effect of the
atmosphere without a glass ; and even rubbing will
not affect the appearance of the picture, which, until
lately would wholly destroy a daguerreotype im-
pression.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD, OCT. 14.
ORIEL COLLEGE.—There will be an election of two
scholars on Friday, Nov. 7. Candidates must not
have exceeded the age of 20 years, nor, if members of
the university, have been matriculated more than
eight terms. Certificates of time of birth and of
baptism, and testimonials of good conduct, to be pre-
sented to the Provost of Oriel on or before Monday,
Nov. 3.
The Rev. Robert Hussey, Regius Professor of
Ecclesiastical History, proposes to begin his lectures
for this term on Monday, the 27th of October, with
two classes, one commencing the course, the other one
year in advance. The lectures are open to members
of the University who have passed the A.B. examina-
tion ; and all who wish to attend them are requested
to call on the Professor, at 25, Beaumont-street, on
Saturday, Oct. 25, between 12 and 2 o'clock.

THE QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY, IN IRELAND.

sity, held on Tuesday, i❑ Dublin Casthe, the following

cine, having been duly examined for seven days :

Moore the second.

On this occasion, the following gentlemen passed

Mr. Skilling obtained the first exhibition and Mr.
O'Hara the second. _ _

The day for conferring degrees is not yet fixed.

THE POISONING CASE AT BATH.

This t x-raordinary case excites greater interest
daily, both in Bath and Bristol. On Monday A. H.
English, Esq., coroner for Bath, with a jury com-
posed of highly respectable tradesmen, commenced
his inquest upon the body of the child who, as stated
in Monday's Sun, di;:d on Saturday last, at the Ses-
sions Court of the Guildhall, but as a post mortem
examination and analysis of the contents of the
stomach were necessary, the jury, after viewing the
body, considered that it wits not desirable to enter
further upon the case until the medical t. videnee was
ready, and the inquiry was therefore adjourned until
Wednesday morning.
The inquest was resumed at nine o'clock on
Wednesday morning. The prisoner being in the
custody of the magistrates was not present, but Mr.
Crosby was in attendance and took notes of the evi-
dence.

W. Ilerapath, Esq., analytical chemist, of Bristol,
having repeated his evidence before the magistrates,
then deposed to his analysis of the contents of the
stomach :—On Monday I received a prepared teat, but
found no arsenic in it. lam not quite satisfied with
my analysis of the borax and honey, as the usual
mode of analysis is inapplicable to that substance, and
I have been too busily engaged since with the body
to return to it. On Monday, the 13th inst., I at-
tended at Mr. Searle's, and witnessed a post martens
examination upon the body of a female infant child,
about four months old. The body was much emaciated,
and the countenance exhibited extreme anxiousness;
the eye were deeply sunk. On the lower part of the
body, the buttocks, there was an extensive red miliary
eruption, something like the measles when very strong.
This is an appearance found upon the body of persons
dying of arsenic, after it has been received into the
system several days. There was also a large boil, or
pustule, on the groin, which had been discharging pus.
The stomach and intestine were opened in my pre-
sence. The whole surface of the stomach was gela-
tinised. It was so tender it would break into a hole
on the slightest touch, and there was a large ulcer
on the interior small curvature, nearly half an inch
in diameter, from which the mucous surface was en-
tirely gone. On the intestines being opened from
below upwards, all the intestines, from the anus to
the costal valve, were covered with the same eruption
which I found upon the external skin. It was ex-
actly as though red-hot spots of sand had been dropped
upon the surface. This appearance decreased up-
wards. There were some of the same appearance iu
the glands above the valve, but less in quantity. The
whole of the abdominal viscera were removed for me
in my presence, except the kidneys, womb, and blad-
der, and I had cut out for me the small pustule in the
groin. I put them all in bottles, and took them with
me to Bristol. I should have said also that there was
an ulcer in the costal valve, and a redness in the upper
part of the oesophagus. On subjecting the liver and in-
testines to analysis I discovered in them small but un-
doubted traces of arsenic. I produce to you two
small polished plates of copper with arsenic deposited
upon them, and also arsenious acid, Scheele's green,
and orpiment. I thus produce you four tests, the fifth
it would have been no use to bring, as it would be in-
jured by the light. Wishing to determine whether
the eruption arose from arsenic, I operated upon the
small pustule, and discovered indications of arsenic
upon copper. I have, therefore, no doubt that the
pustule sod eruption is what is usually called arsenical
eczema.

By a Juror—The portions of arsenic found were
not of themselves sufficient to cause death. I never,
except in one or two instances, found sufficient
arsenic remaining in the stomach to cause death.
As the symptoms and arsenic) were found together,
I have no doubt 'that death was caused by arsenic,
and from the eruptions I should suppose that the
death was a slow one. The poison must have been
administered in small quantities. The appearances
were not like those of a person suddenly poisoned by
arsenic.

By the Coroner—An eighth of a grain of arsenic
would be a large dose for an adult—that is, it might
be dangerous ; and for an infant it would, of course,
in proportion, be more dangerous.
By a Juror—lt would be possible, I should think,
to carry under a person's finger nail in three times,
sufficient arsenic to produce the resifits found.
The inquest was then adjourned until the evening.
