CROWN COURT.

(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock.)
Richard Kay, aged 42, was indicted for administering oil
of vitriol to Thomas Bullock, at Blackburn, on the sth of
June, 1858, with intent to do hint some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Wham prosecuted; Mr. Fernley defended the
son er.
It appeared that on the nig,ht in question the prisoner
went to a public-house kept by one Mark Porter, and Por-
ter having asked his guests, one Riley, the prosecutor, and
the prisoner, to taste some cordial, as the prosecutor ex-
pressed it, pulled a wine bottle out of his pocket, and said,
lle'd better spirits than owt he had," and asked Porter to
taste some, at the same time pouring out about a spoonful,
which was described as " two-thirds of a squib" in quantity,
in a small glass. The landlord smelt at it, asked what it
was, and put it down, and then Riley smelt at it. and the
prisoner; asked him to taste, but Riley said, " Na, forsure,"
and put it on the counter. The prosecutor then stepped up to
it and swore he would take it, and, before any one could stop
him, "whipped it off." He almost immediately fell down
and began beating the floor a ith his hand, and crying out
"he was done." Riley thought he was acting at first and
laughed. They, however, soon saw the prosecutor foaming.
at the mouth, and sent for a doctor and to a chemist's, who
brought some magiesia and water and gave it to him.
The prisoner refused to state what was in the bottle, saying
the landlord would be as wise as he was if he told him. On
the arrival of Dr. Witherington'he used the stomach pump,
and found the prosecutor's tongue, the roof his mouth, and
throat much burnt, and for a week he was in considerable
d an
Mr. Fernley having addressed the jury for the prisoner,
contending that the poison was not administered by the pri-
soner to the prosecutor, who himself took it and could not
be prevented, and also that there was not the intent in the
mind of the prisoner laid in the indictment,
His Lordship summed up, and
The jury acquitted the prisoner.
London, England, 1858-08-11

ran away from the sepoys, who actually never got
within sight of the enemy.

The mail from England arrived yesterday. It
brought out a few brevets for Canton. The latest
hour for the homeward mail closing is half-past 12
p.m. to-morrow. If any matter of interest arrives
in the meantime I will add it in a postscript.
Report gives 150 as the number of killed and
wounded. I presume this includes sun-stroke.
Twenty-five are said to be killed, but the returns
have not yet been made out.

JUNE 7.

The number of men actually woundcd by the
enemy during the engagement at the White Cloud
Mountains I now find to be six or seven only. Poor
Turnbull was the only one killed. The two officers
whose names are mentioned above (Wynne and
Travers) appear to be the only wounded amongst
the officers, the four others being an•exaoegeration.
The sun was our real enemy ; but out of the number
struck down the greater portion of them have already
nearly recovered. Five men appear to have died
from its effects on that day ; but, strange to say,
three of these deaths occurred in Canton amongst the
men who remained behind and did not have the
fatigue of the march.

The Chinese stillcontinue very insolent and nightly
throw into our lines from 50 to 100 rockets ; at times
having the audacity to approach within 200 yards of
the walls. Their firing is very bad, and no one as
yet has sustained any wound or injury from their
missiles.

This was the great event of the regatta, the liberal prizes
offered invariably bringing every year very fine crews from
distant parts. It was in this race that the gallant Claspers,
the El swick, and others, so distinguished themselves, and it
was to be regretted that on the present occasion the Claspers
were prevented attending. There was, however, a mixed
crew from Newcastle and Manchester, who were the
favourites; but there were so many fine crews that opinion

THE LEVIATHAN.

The following report was submitted by
Mr. Brunel,
the engineer, at the meeting
of the Eastern S:eam
er
Navigation Company yest
da
"The consequences resulting
from the launch of the
ship, and the consideration of the steps to be taken now
that that operation has been effected, are all so much
more important to those interested in this undertaking
than any description of the mechanical difficulties which
had to be contended with, or of the means by which
they were overcome, that I shall defer to some period,
when I shall myself have more leisure, any description
of the 'launch.'
"It is sufficient now that you should know, in addi-
tion to the notorious fact of the vessel being afloat,
that in the operation not the slightest alteration of
form has taken plsce or the slightest injury of any sort
been sustained ; that the ship is perfectly tight, and
float, as nearly as possible with the draught and trim
previmply calculated. The next important question
to all interested in the undertaking, and the last before
the trial of the performance of the ship
and engine!,
is now the time and cost required for completion ready
for sea, and, with the concurrence of the directors, I
propose to avoid as far as possible all risk of error in
estimates formed upon these points (and, owing to the
peculiarity of the circuneetances, the novelty of much
that has to be done in the fitting up of such a vessel,
and the difficulty that always -attends the making of
calculations upon remnants of half-finished work, the
risks of error in this case would be considerable.) I
propose to avoid these risks as much as possible by
obtaining conditional contracts for the completion of all
or nearly all that remains to be done, and upon which
the further proceedings of the company with reference
to capital can be securely based,
" The steps necessary to obtain these tenders will
calculations can be obtained.
"I trust that an adjournment for one month will be
sufficient to enable me to lay before you for the infers
motion of the proprietors such results as will practically
spentneces necessarily
ricl certainty taoicnettlypiye our some time, but such will be well
attain the object in view.

PROBATE AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA.

TION.

Mr. COWAN asked the law officers for England,
Scotland, and Ireland respectively, that as, by an Act
passed in the last session of Parliament, provision was
made for giving validity to Probates and Letters of
Administration taken out in England and Ireland re-
spectively, if it be their intention now to introduce one
or more bills whereby probates and letters of administra-
tion in England and Ireland," and a confirmation of
executors in Scotland, whether of testate or intestate
succession, may be rendered valid and effectual, and the
benefits from the recent change of the law may be ex-
tended and enjoyed throughout all theTnited Kingdom?
The LORD ADVOCATE said that the subject was
under the consideration of the law officers of the

EDUCATION IN INDIA.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH rose to move for a
copy of the report of Mr. Chapman (Behar), director of
public instruction in India in 1855 and 1856. The
noble earl took the opportunity of calling the atten-
tion of their lordships to the state of education
in India, and the efforts the Government had made to
extend it. It was impossible that such efforts had not
produced material effect, and it was desirable t. 3 )iv
in what direction those exertions had extended, whether
good or bad. He bad not seen the report for which he
moved, but, from extracts, which had been placed in
his hands, it appeared there was a deep-rooted prejudice
prevalent amongst the natives against the Government
system of education.
Earl GRANVILLE said it was early yet to trace
the effects of a measure adopted only in 1854. It was
not tree that the educational measure had any effect in
causing the mutiny. He had no objection to the pro-
dnction of the report alluded to by the noble earl.
The motion was agreed to.
The Havelock Annuities Bill was read a second time
on the motion of Lord PANMIIRE.

Their lordships adjourned at a quarter-past 6 o'clock,

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.)
The SITAZER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Liskeard and LOTO Union Canal Company's Bill
was read a second time.
MERSEY DOCKS AND HARBOUR (CONSOLI•
DATION OF ACTS) BILL.
On the motion far the second reading of this bill,
Mr. LOWE said the Government had made an
arrangement with the Mersey Board in regard to this
measure, and the Government were prepared to support
the second reading of the bill.
The hill was read a second time.
The Mersey Docks and Harbour (New Works) Bill
was read a second time.
MUTINOUS SEPOYS.
Mr. RICH gave notice that on this day week he
should put a question to the President of the Board of
Control bearing upon the recently reported engagements
of our troops with the mutinous eepoys, and ask him
whether any and what orders had been given to the
officers of our troops relative to their giving quarter or
not to mutinous sepoys found in arms.
BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.

Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that he should on Mon-
day next, if no reason waa shown to the contrary,
present a petition from an individual charging a
member of that house (Mr. I. Butt) with a breach of the
privileges thereof, and move the appointment of a select
committee to inquire into the allegations of the petition.
After some discussion on the course to be pursued,
It was suggested by the SPEAKER, and accepted by
Mr. ROEBUCK, that the learned gentleman should
present the petition on Monday, and fix a day for its
consideration, after it bad been printed and circulated
amongst the members of the house.
