THE RUGELEY PnISONING CASES.

At an early hour on Friday morning the body of Mr.
John Parsons Cook, on the charge of murdering whom
Wm. Palmer was first committed for trial, was exhumed
and taken to the Old Church, at Rugeley, in order that
Dr. Monckton and Dr. Harland, physicians, and Mr..
Bamford, surgeon, might examine certain portions of
the corpse, which were not on the occasion of the first
post mortent examination subjected to that minute invese-
tigation which it is now thought desirable that they'
should undergo, and consequently did not pass under
the chemical analysis of Dr. Taylor and Dr. Rees, at.
Guy's Hospital. With as little as possible the medical
gentlemen named were ready to commence their unplea-•
sant task. Before, however, they commenced to ope-
rate upon the body, Mr. Geo. Palmer, solicitor, of
Rugeley, a brother of Wm. Palmer, who now awaits his
trial in Stafford Gaol, not only on the charge of poison-
ing the unhappy man Cook, but also his deceased wiles,
and brother, gave notice to Inspector Crisp, who bad.
the superintendence of the exhumation, and in whose'
charge the body was understood to be, that it wasi
his intention to secure, during the post modem, in-
vestigati3n then about to commence, the presence
of a medical gentleman from Birmingham, who
might at the same time have an opportunity of '
examining the body in the interests of his imprisoned.
brother, Mr. Gardner, the solicitor for the prose-.
cution, was also present, and with Dr. Monckton, Dr..
Harland, and Mr. Bamford, made such arrangements as
would enable Mr. Geo. Palmer to carry out his inten-
tions, and secure at the re-examination of the body the
attendance of a medical man whose object would be tits
making of such an inspection as would tend to the benefit
of the accused. The body was left in the Old Church in
charge of the police until the post mortem examination
should be completed. During the past few days the
brother of Mr. Bladen, the brewer's traveller—who about
five years ago died at the house of Wm. Palmer after
only a few days illness, and under such circumstances
as to excite suspicion of foul play on the part of his
entertainer—has been in Rugeley making inquiries,
with a view to ascertain whether or not his brother's
death may be attributed to natural consequences. The
authorities, also, in Rugeley are not satisfied that no
well grounded sula;ciet, rests upon Wm. Palmer with
reference to the death of Biaden ; and they have, there-
fore, put themselves into communication with the HMO
Secretary on the subject.

at about stationary prices. The sale for linseed and rap&

them is trifling.

Al lATPUR HANGING.

On Thursda v an inquest was taken at Marchwood,
before Mr. Tod d, on the body of Abraham Longman,
aged ..1.2 years:, a remarkably fine boy, and, when living,
of a most the earful and good-humoured disposition. De-
ceased's pare :sits went to Southampton on Tuesday,
leaving him ast hoMe with three younger children.
After playing :about with them for some time, deceased
got on a chair i and tied a long leather strap to a beam.
He then in a, joking way said to a boy who was with
him, "This t h big (taking hold of the strap) would soon
cut a fellow'ls windpipe, and kill him in about ten
micutes." The boy soon afterwards left, and Longman—
gave his littlis brothers a ride on the donkey. Jonathan
Longman, a g ed five years, was too young to be ex-
amined as a. witness, bet he stated, "My brother then
said he would hang himself, and he then got up into the
chair again, ka ad slipped up the strati, and put his bead
into it, and s, i ung himself off the chair. He did not kick
about or mak:, e any noise, but fell straight down, with his
hands by his s ide, and swung backwards and i'rwards."
When one o f deceased s elder sisters returned from
Southampton in the afternoon, she met two of the chil-
dren crying outside the house. They told her that
Abraham was hung up by the neck to the beam. They
then went in d oars, and found no one there, except the
infant sitting by the fire, and their brother Abraham
hanging dead by a strap round his neck to a crook in the
beam across th a house. Several of the jury, who knew
the decea>ed si hen living, corroborated the statement of
the witnesses .as to his good health and cheerful disposi-
tion and exp,sessed their opinion that he had no inten-
tion to destro y himself, but bad committed the fatal act
in sport, with tint being aware of its danger. The oero•
ner expressed his concurrence, and the jury returned a
verdict to that effect.

In Bermon Elsey a case similar to the foregoing in all
but its terra! rat:on occurred only
.on Saturday last. A.
oy, of ten y, 'ars old, wa,4 playing with his fellows, when
a game of ha aiging was propo-ed, and he undertook to
go through operation ; there being a strong line
passing acro es the room he threw another over, and
formed a noc tie, which he adjusted round his neck, and
either accidei utally or intentior,ally kicked away the chair
on which he aas standing. The frightful contortions of
the boy's con totenance, the eyes and tongue protruding,
alarmed the c iiildren, and their cries brought assistance,
and he was f pot down almost lifeless. A surgeon was
immediately called in, but it was not until after great
exertion that
,perfect animation was restored.

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was a slight improvement in the demand for
wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. In prices,
however, very little change took place. Spring corn, the
supplies of which were moderate, was, in fair request, at
the late decline.

Most of the continental markets continue dull for wheat,
yet the decline in price has not been extensive. New
York letters state that about an average export business
was transacted.

Very moderate supplies of home grown produce were
received up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad were 6,050 quarters of wheat, 2,323 oats, 6,634
beans, 113 tares, 5,123 linseed, 5,765 rapeseed, 469 sundry
seeds, and 1,790 sacks of flour.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to day, coastwise,
were bat moderate and mostly in damp condition. By
land-carriage, the supply was rather limited. The aggre-
gate show of samples was by no means large, and factors
generally were firm in their demands. The amount of
business doing in all kinds however was small, without
leading to any quotable change in the prices realised on
Monday last.

We were fairly supplied with most descriptions of
foreign wheat. The demand was almost wholly confined
to small parcels for immediate use, at last week's currency.
I❑ floating cargoes, very little was doing on former
terms.

The show of English barley was moderately good, and
he trade ruled somewhat active, at an improvement in
he quotations of is per quarter.

The demand for malt was heavy, but no change took
place in its value.

Oats moved off slowly, yet previous rates were supported.
There was a moderate inquiry for beans, at last week's
quotations.

White peas realised an advance of 2s. per quarter. Grey
an•l maple qualities Were unaltered.

RUSSIA.

General Prince dortseliakoff,commanding in the
Crimea, arrived at St. Petersburg on the 24th.
A letter in the Austrian Correspondence from
Odessa, of the 10th, says :=-
"The cessation of hostilities in the Crimea has per-
mitted many superior officers to pass the holidays at this
place. Amongst others are Generals Osten-Sacken,
Kotzebue, and Liprandi. General Osten-Sacken has
been particularly well received, and a patriotic society
has presented him with a bomb made of .precious
metal, ornamented with various emblems which recall
the defence of Sebastopol. ATe Deuiit Wals sung here
to celebrate the fall of Kars. The hank of Odessa closed
its doors during the holidays, and will not re open them
ti I the 14th. In order to satisfy the went of small c. in,
a'siy,nats of one silver rouble (us arly 4 francs) have been
issued. Cash is still very scarce and bears .a premium
of from 7to 8 per cent. Austrian ducats, which are
generally worth 2 roubles 98 kopecks, have attained the
value of 3 roubles 25 kopecks, as it is the only gold coin
that can be sent abroad. Workmen are still employed
on the coast batteries, and almost every month some
changes are made in their arrangement. It is said that
some thousands of soldiers are occupied in construoting
redoubts at Nicolaieff, and the construction of floating
batteries has been ordered. At Cherson, General Knor-
ring has demolished the 6 gun battery established at the
landing-place, and has built another at the western point
of the Quarantine Island. The old citadel of Cherson
has been armed, but the walls are nearly in ruins."

(4.

On Thursday an inquest was taken at Marchwood,
lief, re Mr. Todd, on the body of Abraham Longman,
aged if; years, a remarkably fine boy, and, when living,
of a most cheerful and good-humoured disposition. De-
ceased's parents went to Southampton on Tuesday,
leaving him at home with three younger children.
After paying about with them for some time, deceased
pit on a chair, and tied a long leather strap to a beam.
He then in a joking way said to a boy who was with
him, " This thing (taking hold of the strap) would soon
cut a fellow's windpipe, and kill him in about ten
minutes." The boy soon afterwards left, and Longman
gave his little brothers a ride on the donkey. Jonathan
Longman, aged five years, was too young to be ex-
amined as a witness, bet he stated, "11L brother then
said tie would bang himself, and he then got up int. the
.chair again, and slipped up the strati, and put his head
into it, and swung himself off the chair. ile did nut kick
about or make any noise, but fell straight down, with his
hands by his side, and swung backwards and f-rwards."
When one of deceased-s elder sisters returned from
Southampton in the afternoon, she teat two of the chil-
dren crying outside the house. They told her that
Abraham was hung up by the neck to the beam. They
then went indonrs, and found no one tbere, except the
iofant, sitting by the fire, and their brother. Abraham
banging dead by a strap round his neck to a erook in the
berm across the house. Several of the jury, who knew
the &ma ,ed when living, corroborated the statement of
he witnesses as to his good health and cheerful &Tog-

tion and expre-sed their opt ion that he had no inten-
tion to destroy himself, but had committed the fatal act
in sp,rt, without being aware of its danger. TA.. corn-
per ,ressed hi< c ,ncurtence, and the jury returned a
verdict to that effect.

SPORTING NOTES

NOTHING NEW.
The activity which was imparted to speculation by
the publication of the weights for the Spring Handicaps
was merely slizht and temporary. Betting is again at a
stand still, and the movements in the turf market are
likely to be' distinguished by no incident of significance
until the acceptances are placed before the public.
Opinions are divided respecting Mr. Topham's han-
diwork at Chester ; some persons unhesitatiegly main-
tain that he has distributed the imposts with ability
and impartiality ; others grumblingly assert that
the weights are preposterously light. An old proverb,
however, tells us that the proof of the pudding is in the
eating ; the merits or defects therefore of the Chester
Handicap will be pretty accurately determined by the
numerical strength of the acceptances. In the prelimi-
nary "dip" which I made into the Cup on the first ap-
pearance of the Handicap, I indicated certain horses
which I cansidered " well in." The little betting which
has yet taken place shows that the opinions which I
then expressed ara shared by the sporting community.
Although the Success which attended the steeplechase
meeting at Oundle last week was not unqualified, yet it
was sufficient to stimulate the promoters of the gather-
ing to increase their exertions to establish the under-
, taking on a permanent and profitable basis. They who
desire to see steeplechases " regenerated" will cordially
support the " officials " at Oundle in their efforts to im-
prove the character of the S port.
By the way, I have received the particulars of a very
pretty quarrel which has arisen between the proprietors
of the Uxendon Farm, Harrow, and the Clerk of the
Course at Warwick. In justice to the latter, I must
state that he has been very badly used ; but should he
carry out his threat of publishing the letters which he
has in his possession, he is likely to place Mr. E. in a
very awkward position. The cause of the Coventry
Stand's not being forwarded to Oundle may, it is said,
be traced to the "difference" alluded to.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

" The Beaux Stratagem" continues to attract good
'houses." The skill with which it is performed fully
warrants its succesey and, we think Mr. Buckstone's
Scrub is well worthy the money paid for admission,
particularly the scene in which he suggests that Archer
should kill the robber because he never saw such a
deed done. The rest of the part affords great amuse-
ment to the audience, while the tricks and the scenery
of the pantomime have lost none of their charms for the
old and young holiday-makers.

THE CHARGE OF SETTING A COTTON MILL ON FIRE
AT PRESTON.—Elizabeth Grundy, 14 years of age, was
finally examined on Friday, and committed for trial, on
a charge of wilfully and maliciously setting fire to the
cotton mill of Mr. W. Seed, Derby-street, Preston.
AUSTRALIA. PLYMOUTH, Sunday.—The Hashmy,
Captain John Ross, was off this port yesterday, from
Sydney, 7th Oct., and landed a mail and several passen-
gers in a trawler. She brings an immense quantity of
wool and tallow, but only 70 ounces of gold. Spoke
the Elizabeth and the Davo, between Cape Horn and
the line. The news brought by the Hashmy has been
anticipated by former arrivals.
REPRESENTATION OF EDINBURGH.—Mr. Macaulay,
the great historian, on the plea of bad health, has re-
tired from the representation of Edinburgh. The Edin-
burgh Whigs have pitched on Mr. Adam Black, the
eminent Edinburgh bookseller, as his successor, ; and,
although some opposition appears to be offered to Mr.
Black, we rather think he will carry the prize. He is
acknowledged by all parties to be an amiable and excel-
lent man ; and he has, through a long and eventful life,
ever been a most consistent politician. Little, we pre-
sume, did he think a quarter of a century ago, that he
would be called upon by the citizens of Edinburgh to
represent them in St. Stephen's; and as little, we pre-
sume, did Francis Jeffrey, a quarter of a century before
that again, dream that he would be one of the represen-
tatives for Edinburgh, under the Reform Bill.—Glasgow
_ Gazette.

The Piemonte of Turin has an article against peace on
the proposed terms couched in as strong, if not stronger,
language than any that has been employed by any Eng-
lish journal. The Piemonte says, Russia knows what
she is about, while tne western powers apparently do
not. In leaving Russia still mistress of Poland, she will
be left with her principal instrument of aggressive force.
She will soon recover her strength. The proposed ar-
rangement is a miserable expedient—a truce and not a
peace. In short, the Piemonte concludes (and this is a
mot which will become celebrated) " we have had a war
of dilettanti, and are going to make a shopkeeper's
peace."

COVENT-GARDEN TJIEATRE.

The last grand morning performance of the comic pan-
tomime of "Ye Belle Alliance" took place on Satur-
day, and attracted a very brilliant audience. The en-
tertainment went off with unusual eclat. During the
run of the pantomime various new tricks and dances
have been introduced, which have greatly added to its
success. On the three juvenile nights, Flexmore, with
a view to please the young folk, in the Balmoral Palace
scene introduced one of his pupils, a real little wonder,
who, clothed in the " garb of Old Gaul," danced the
" Fling" to the infinite delight of the whole house.
The applause that followed the conclusion of the dance
was so great that Flexmore was compelled to allow his
talented pupil to repeat it, and this was done without
the least apparent exertion. Fearful of a double encore,
the clown caught up the child, and after safely stowing
it away in his pocket, the action of the pantomime pro-
ceeded. At the conclusion of the pantomime, in answer
to the repeated calls of the audience, Flexmore and his
clever companion, Barnes, the pantaloon, appeared be-
fore the curtain, to receive the applause of a crowded and
delighted audience. On Monday next the Wizard has
announced an extraordinary performance, or more pro-
perly speaking a series of performances. The doors of
the theatre will open at ten o'clock in the morning.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day,

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Sitting at Nisi Priam, before Mr. Baran Bramwell and
a Common Jury.)
ALLEN V. THOMPSON,-NVEIAT IS •' A GENTLEMAN?"
Mr. Kerr appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Peters-
dorff for the defendant.

This was an interpleader. The plaintiff was the
owner of a house situate at Union-grove, Clapham,
lately occupied by a person named Dove, clerk in the
Audit-office, Somerset-house, and the defendant was a
bill discounter and sheriff's-officer. Dove being in diffi-
culties got into arrears of rent to the amount of 341. 108.,
and wishing to leave the above premises gave the
plaintiff a bill of sale on his furniture as collateral
security in the event of his not paying the arrears
by instalments, as agreed upon between them. One in-
stalment had only been paid, and three were now due.
The defendant had discounted a small bill for Dove,
which he had been unable to pay. The defendant then
sued him, and obtained judgment against him, and on
his levying, was met with the bill of sale in question,
which bad been duly registered in the Court of Queen's
Bench. In his cross-examination, Dove stated that the
bill of sale was prepared by bis brother-in-law, and
attested by his clerk. He had petitioned the Court
twice, and was now paying 1301. per annum out of his
salary, by direction of the commissioner, towards liqui-
dating his fernier debts.
_ _

Mr. Petersdorff took objections to the description of
Dove and the attesting witness in the bill of sale, and
affidavit accompanying it, as not being correct and in
accordance with the statute. One was that Dove was de-
scribed as " a gentleman," whereas he should have been
described as " a clerk in the Audit-office, Somerset-
house." lie also characterised the bill of sale as a ruse
on the part of Dove to prevent any of his creditors levy-
ing for their just debts.
The learned Baron, in summing up, said the defendant
bad been reproached by the plaintiff's counsel with
having taken exorbitant interest, and his being a
sheriff's officer. Re thought it was high time to get
rid of these ridiculous aspersions with regard to exor-
bitant interest. No doubt bill discounting in many in-
stances was not in such respectable bands as they could
wish, and he was afraid that so long as men were re-
proached for taking high discounts on doubtful securities,
so long would the business be in the hands of the class
of persons complained of. The sooner they abandoned
casting these aspersions on bill discounters the sooner he
thought they would get rid of the class alluded to.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff subject to
the opinion of the Court above on the objection raised
by the defendant.
