bering that very nearly one calendar month has
since then elapsed, and that almost immediately
after the words had passed the lips of the speaker

the electric wires flashed to this country an
appalling justification of every syllable ! We are
not speaking extravagantly, therefore, when we
designate the salutary sionition addressed to the
cadets at Addiscombe on the 12th of June, 1857,
by Mr. MANGLES, as in a manner prophetic. That it
really was so, the lamentable massacre at Meerut
attests in bloody characters. And the mutiny,
of which that massacre was the signal, though
sternly reppressed there, and, for that matter,
elsewhere—being restricted almost exclusively to
the rebel city of Delhi, at the period when our
last despatches from India took their departure—
that Sudden and Audacious Revolt, though dealt
with thus resolutely and summarily, indicates—
What does it not indicate ? Hatred—Fear—
Cupidity—Ambition—above all, an indomitable
and an in.atiable native lust of Vengeance ?
Every fiercest incentive to outrage and Rebellion.
And all this—of course—resulting from our treat-
ment, from our own fatal, suicidal, all but insane
system of mis-government. From this, ob-
viously ! From this, notoriously The Pro-
verb says, " There never is Smoke without
Fire." And so —as truly may it be
declared, must it, by necessity, be declared that—
Fire is always Kindled ! Even the Fire of Spon-
taneous Combustion And the Kindling of those
Hot Ashes of Alienation—of those fierce Flames
of Revolt—of those Eruptive Explosions of Re-
bellion—is entirely,• manifestly, undeniably our
own Kindling ! We have sapped and mined our
own standing ground, we have laid the train and lit
the match, and then applied it—and when the inevi-
table result follows we affect astonishment. Mr.
MANGLES spoke truly on the 12th of
Juno at Addiscombe—he spoke wisely, he
spoke judiciously—when he recommended the
young Cadets to treat their Sepoy comrades as
comrades. He spoke no less truly, wisely, and
judiciously, when he advised them, at the
same time, to treat the native soldiery with kind-
ness and respect." Observing that, "it was by
such means alone, that a few hundred officers
could hold the command of many thousands of men:"
and adding that, " These were the principles
upon which India had been won by their prede-
cessors." A startling inference follows, naturally
enough, from this last mentioned consideration.
Shall toe now, in our turn, hazard the loss of In-
dia by a perverse, a wilful, and a wanton viola-
tion of those same wise and humane principles ?

THE GLASGOW POISONING.

THE VERDICT.
[BY ELECTRIC 'TELEGRAPH.]
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
NINTH DAY-THURSDAY.

The intense interest manifested during the whole
of the eight days this extraordinary trial has
lasted, was greater than ever this morning. Crowds
of people outside the court who had not been suc-
cessful in obtaining admission, were trying every
means in their power to gain an entrance into the
court, and the police had the greatest difli,3ulty in

keeping a space clear, for those who were pers:mally
engaged in the trial.

As early as seven o'clock this morning,
Parliament-square was densely crowded, and
as the. hour of opening the court ap-
proached, the crowd increased to such an extent
that it was difficult to reach the top of the High-
street.

The Court opened at ten o'clock, but for some
time previous that portion not appropriated to the
public presented an extraordinary appearance. The
jury entered the court shortly before ten o'clock,
and upon their lordships arrival the prisoner was
placed in the dock.
Her appearance was much the same as it was at
the commencement of the trial. There was, how-
ever, a slight shade of sadness in her expression,
but no trace of that anxiety and deep men-
tal suffering to be expected in a woman charged
with such a dreadful crime and with her life in such
imminent danger. During the continuance of the
summing up to-day, notwithstanding the strong
remarks of the Lord Advocate with reference to
the damaging points in the evidence against the
prisoner, she presented that coolness and indiffer-
ence she has all along exhibited a most remarkable
and extraordinary manner.

The Lord Justice Clerk, in a very audible voice,
commenced his summing up, and having called to
the recollection of the jury the point at which the
court adjourned last, proceeded to read and com-
ment upon the whole of the evidence adduced both
on the part of the Crown and for the defence. He,
in
of ea
theirnes tl impressed on the jury the
importance Yfully considering all they
conclusion, r
had heard, and said that the case now

only awaited their verdict. Unless they
thought that clear conviction was brought to
their minds it would be their duty to acquit her.
They were not to proceed upon suspicion, or even
strong suspicion, but there must be strong convic
tion iu their minds, and if there was any reason-
able doubt, it was their duty to give the prisoner
the benefit of that doubt ; but if they came to that
clear conclusion of her guilt, they were not to al-
low any suggestion made for the defence to deter
them from doing their duty. The learned judge
having reminded the jury of the oath they had
taken, concluded by beseeching an allwise and all-
seeing Providence to direct them to a right verdict.
The jury then retired to their room.
The appearance of the court at this particular
moment it is impossible to describe, many of
the spectators being moved to tears by the im-
pressive and earnest address of the learned judge.
In Scotland when a jury have agreed upon their
verdict a small bell is rung ; upon this signal being
given the most breathless silence prevaile], and in
a short time afterwards the jury ra appeared in
court, when
The Clerk of the Court, addressing the jury,
said—Gentlemen, have you agreed to youx verdict ?
The Foreman, in a firm tone—We have.
The Clerk of the Court—How say you, gentle-
men ; do you find the prisoner Guilty or Not
Guilty ?
The Foreman—We find the Prisoner "NOT
GUILTY " on the first count,

A horribly lurid light has just been thrown
most unexpectedly upon the atrocities perpetrated
by our Chinese antagonists. The atrocities we
mean perpetrated by them on our own unfortu-
nate fellow-countrymen—murder, arson, stabbing,
throat-cutting, poisoning, and every kind of whole-
sale and retail assassination;! The way in which
this new and unlooked-for flood-of-light has been
thrown upoa the dark deeds of those Most Exem-
plary Foes may, in a very few words, be related.
Commodore the Hon. C. J. ELLIOT captures, on
the 4th of April—not three days earlier, observe!
for the facts are really true and undeniable—
captures, upon the 4th of April, some junks hard
by the San-on coast off Hong-Kong. On board
one of thes3 junks there is found, among other
prizes of more or less value, a correspondence. As a
matter of course, this correspondence is in Chinese
—but the perpendicular hieroglyphics of the MSS.
have been duly " done into English" by a compe-
taut hand; under the observant eye doubtless of no
less eminent a linguist than Sir;f. BOWRING himself,
our wonder-working Diplomatic Mezzofanti, who
would be an invaluable acquisition, by the way, at
any Congress of the Nations as an Interpreter.
Well—to return to the correspondence, now com-
prehensibly rendered into our English vernacular
—lo, and behold, here it is, formally printed in
the form of a Supplementary Blue Book, as a
portion of "Further Papers relating to the pro-
ceedings of Her MAJESTY'S Naval Forces, at Can-
ton." So that the seeming Romance is formally
and officially authenticated into the merest
and most ordinary matter of fact. But
a very frightful matter of fact—another
and a very grimly proof that Reality often exceeds
Romance, that Truth is indeed " Strange,
stranger than Fiction! " Any one may under-
stand this, in the present instance,in the course of
a few moments, upon turtling to that portion of
the new Blue Book relating
,to the Chinese War,
containing this curiously and opportunely dis-
covered Correspondence. It consists of a number
of characteristic communications, in the form of
familiar letters addressed to one CHAN-KWEI •TSIH,
by his younger brother CHAN-TZE-TIN. The
fraternal recipient of these letters being
nc,t only a Graduate of the degree of
Doctor, but Presidett or Chief of the
Committee of Hostility in San-on. Obviously,
therefore, a man of mark—" and a learned r
His correspondent, we are told, is a " graduate and
the pupil of SIT-TING-KNVET, a member of the Han
Lin College, one of the most important of the
Canton gentry, and apparently the channel of
communication between these brothers and the
Governor-General YELL" So that what the Cor-
respondence between these brothers relates to,
occurred not in a hole-in-a-corner unknown to
the Chinese authorities, but with their cognizance,
with their connivance, with their undeniabl3 and
admitted encouragement. The Correspondence
we are here referring to proving incontestably the
Fact that all these atrocities—murders, arsons,
stabbings, throat-cuttings, poisonings, and every
kind of wholesale and retail assassination—have
been perpetrated with the perfect fore-knowledge,
nay, what is more at the direct instigation
of YETI and his subordinates I Yet, these
are the men with whom we were told
we ought to sympathize these hirers of
bravos and assassins ! These Civilised Barba-
rians who set blood-money, at the rate of " thirty
taels," upon every " devil's head" taken from the
shoulders of Englishmen ! It is time, indeed, that
these atrocities upon the coasts of China should be
brought to a fitting and exemplary termination.
It is time that these wretched Pagans should duly
expiate their many inhuman and sanguinary deeds
of violence.

DESTRUCTIVE FlRM—Yesterday afternoon a fire broke
out in the Ci,xton Cotton Milll, situate i❑ St. George's-

to nearly 3,0001., and unfortunately the sufferer was un-
insured.

A burst of applause followed the announcement
of tke verdict, but was immediately suppressed.

Dining the awful moments between the return
of the jury into court and the giving of their ver-
dict, the prisoner betrayed not the least emotion,
but on its delivery, she gave a heavy sigh, which
appeared to give her much relief.
The excitement produced outside the court,
when the verdict became known, was immense.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE,— Signor Guiglini follow- ,

for his which is to take place on Monday next,
a selection from a number of different operas. No less
than five distinct performances are included in the bill,
and yet there is not one of the performances which
could be omitted without sacrificing some distinc-
tive feature of the new tenor's art. The fourth act
of "Il Trovatore," containing the celebrated " Romanza
and Misere" could scarcely be rejected. The last act of
"Lucia" belongs to Guiglini alone, and a benefit with-
out the free poco would be quite incomplete. The next
piece is the last act of "Ii Pirate," in which
Guiglini will essay, for the first time in Lendon,
the " Tu Vedrai," which old opera goers still associate
with the name of Rubini. The scene from " I Martini,"
which created so profound a sensation on Monday last,
will be again given, and the evening will appropriately
conclude with the last act of "La Favorite," which won
for Signor Guiglini on his first appearance the high posi-
tion which he has since so effectually maintained.

FEE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 9_, 1857

HAY:II-ARKET TR EAT

Last night Mr, Buckstone celebrated his benefit by
the production of a work, which is not only ,tyled a
"comedy" in the bills, but has more of .the c.miedy eh-
meet about it than any piece that has been presented to
the public for some years. The author, Mr. Toni Taylor,
has assembled togethera number of characters that belong
especially to the present day, and, though his construc-
tion and ground plan prove a study of recent French
models, his work is purely original, and the types he ex-
hibits are thoroughly English.
The comedy is entitled " Victims," and the first vic•
tim who is brought forward is Mrs. Merryweather (Miss
Reynolds), a lady of delicate susceptibilities, who largely
patronizes literary and ariistic " items," and laments
that she Is married to a plain city gentleman (Mr. Howe),
who only earns money for her expenditure, without sym-
pathizing with her high aspirations. She has, however,
a harmless consoling friend in the per.mti of Miss Crane
(Mrs. Poynter), a strong-minded woman bent on the
emancipation of her sex, and a dangerous consoling friend
in the person of Mr. Herbert Fttzlierbert (Mr. W. Far-
ren), a Byronic-looking gentleman, who has earned a
considerable reputation as a poet, and bestows bouquets
and sympathy on the fair sufferer. One of the bouquet,
sent to Mrs. Merryweather through the medium of Mr.
Fitzherbert's toady, Mr, Joshua Butterby (Mr. Buck-
stone), grievously interrupts the tranquility of several
persons, Mr. Merryweather discovers in it a copy of
verses, which convice him that the poet harbours designs
dangerous to his domestic peace, while Miss Crane, sup-
posing that Butterby is the donor, and not merely the
donor's agent, breaks off an engagement that she has
contracted with the luckless toady.
The heroine of the second act is a more genuine " vic-
tim" than the affected fine lady of the first. This is the
wife of Mr. Fitzherbert, who, being his inferior by birth,
keeps her situation so completely concealed that ho
passes everywhere for a single man, while she not
only supports -him by her needle and her musical
talmnts, but meets his perpetual ill humour with an
unfading smile.. On the delineation of this character
the author has bestowed especial pains, and Miss
Oliver, to whom it is intrusted, plays it not only
with great care, but with much genuine feeling.
The discovery of the note in the bouquet, and the owner-
ship of certain bills of exchange accepted by the poet,
induce Mr. Merry weather t visit his lodgings, when ho
is astonished to find an of I flame, Lucy Aikin, who is
the present Mrs. Fitzherbert. Mrs. Merryweather also
conies to the same spot to engage Lucy Aikin, who re-•
tains her maiden-name in the sight of the world, to
play on the piano at a grand party, little suspecting that
the humble musician ig the wife of the brilliant poet.
As the husband suspects the wife of visiting the man of
genius, and the wife, who has found a packet of old love
letters. suspects the husband of an intrigue with the
little pianist, a short fit of jealousy ari,ms on both sides,
but mutual explanation soon set matters right, and Mr.
and Mrs. Merryweather both resolve to befriend the de-
voted wife.

A soiree at the house of Mrs, Merry weather that takes '
place inthe
gh,
of
course,
third
highly ct presents an admirably
e dpiotureofdrays,intellectual assemblage. Mrs. Merry weather's circle
comprises not only the poet, the poet's toady, and the
strongminded lady, but also Mr. Curdle, a Scotch poli-
tical economist (Mr. Cullenford), Mr. Hornblower, of k
the " Weekly Beacon" (Mr. Braid), and Mr. IVludd!e-
-mist, a metaphysician (Mr. L. Walter), who talks a
jargon based on the language of Hegel. A question put
by Mr. Rowley (Mr, Rogers), an honest city friend of
Mr. Merryweather, as to the import of the word
" seethetics," causes several of these luminaries to shine
forth with great force, and the arrival of a pair of " in-
expressibles" for Miss Crane, instead of a handsome
gown, presented as a peace-offering by the hapless But-
terby, provokes a ruder sort of mirth. A more serious
tone is, however, given to the assembly by the intro-
duction of Mrs. FitzherbLrt in her proper character. She
has already been described by Mrs. Merry weather as a
perfect specimen of feminine devotion, and Fitzher-
bert, little suspecting who is the subject of the
description, has been loudest in applause. Tae appear-
ance of his wife at first excites his indignation, bat this
is soon changed to contrition, when M,rryweather re-
turns to him the copy of versee, together with his
acceptances cancelled. As for Mrs. Merry weather, she
confesses that she has been deceived, having mistaken a
generous husband for a sordid clod, and a selfish egotist
for an ideal specimen of humanity.
The description of the plot will convey but a faint
notion of the merits of the piece. Every character is
firmly and distinctly drawn, and though here and there
the incident becomes somewhat farcical, there is nothing
farcical in the dialogue. Nearly the whole company is
engaged in the representation, and last night all did
their best towards the general effect. The success of the
work was fully commensurate with its merits. Each of
the three acts terminated amid universal applause, and
Mr. Taylor's name was proclaimed by Mr. Buckstone
to he received with enthusiasm.
In the course f the evening Mr. Buckstone delivered
the followirg address :
"Ladies and gentlemen,—l am sure you will excuse the
appearance of egotism, which these annual addresses must
at all times wear ; but as I am given to understand they
form oneof the attractions onthese occasions, the actor and
the manager may be forgiven for resorting to them ; yet as
an individual I feel that I must throw myself on your pa-
tience and forbearance. I have now, ladies and gentlemen,
the pleasure to inform you of a fact—and, believe me, it is
quite true, although it is announced in the playbill— that
this theatre has never been closed f0r1,121 nights. It has
been constantly and consecutively open for that period,
always excepting on those evenings when every theatre
shuts up according to custom, or by order of the Lord
Chamberlain. Hence we have the question of ' What
is a theatrical season ?' I should presume it to mean
—as long as the manager can keep open. At some
theatres I have known three seasons to take place in
as many months. I believe that once stately theatre, the
walls of which are daily disappearing—Covent Garden—
some time ago rejoiced in a season of one week. But, as
regards our season, I can only say, that though we have all
read, or at least heard of, Thomson's Seasons,' the Hay-
market seasons are at present undefined ; at the same time,
as all things will have an end, there must come one to this
long season. The long parliament was dissolved by Oliver
Cromwell. The Cromwell of the Haymarket long season
will be the bricklayer, for the time is coming when the
usual repairs and redecorations will be required. As I
know that I am now addressing friends and well-wishers,
I am sure they will be pleased to hear that I have renewed
my lease from October next for five years, and that the re-
newal bas been effected on terms most advantageous to my-
self. I therefore stand in the position of a tenant satisfied
with his landlord, though in my case I ought to say land-
lady, many concessions having been made for my benefit,
thus giving another instance of the kindness and conside-
ration of that sex which none of us can do without. One
of these concessions I must state was the power to modify
the prices of admission, which modification, I am happy
to say, has given the greatest satisfaction to the public
generally, more especially as it has been equitably made,
for while the upper boxes, the pit, and the two galleries
have benefitted by the changes, the fashionaMe dress
circle remains as it was, and the aristocratic stalls have
bad a slight addition made to their price, because the dis-
tinguished persons who frequent them can afford to pay
it, and not only can afford, but are delighted to do so, for
since the increase has been made, rarely on any night has
there been an empty seat in that part of the house. And
now, ladies and gentlemen, while thanking you for the full
and brilliant attendance of this evening, and for the ex-
pressions of friendship and goodwill which I have always
received since I became lessee of this theatre, believe me I
shall not relax in my exertions to deserve such expressions
I have novelty in preparation, and certain important en-
gagements concluded for the future, which it would be
imprudent for me to mention just now, and therefore hope
you will be contented to remain with your curiosity ex-
cited but not gratified. I still intend that comedy and
farce shall be the principal entertainments as of yore. You
all like to laugh, and I like to hear you ; because it does
you good and myself also. Medical men have declared
that there is nothing more beneficial to the health thin
hearty laughter, consequently.l hops that the faculty will
agree to make my fortune, by prescribing to all their pa-
tients `Take a dose of Buckstone every night.' And now,
ladies and gentlemen, permit me to bid you farewell—till
to-morrow evening; believe mo I retire happy in the
knowledge that you will ever consider this time-honoured
theatre as your favourite one, while my ambition will be
entirely satisfied to learn that you acknowledge, whatever
may be the attractions of other theatres, that at the Hay-
market you have always been the most amused."
This speech was constantly interrupted by the heartiest
laughter and applause, and at its conclusion Mr. Buckstone
was so deluged with bouquets, that after filling his Gibus
hat, he could scarcely stagger from the stage beneath the
weight of floral tributes which encumbered his arms.
