WOOD D. HUTCHINSoN.

This was an action-brought to recover an account of £32,
a debt professedly owing for yarn by the defendant to the
plaintiff. There was an item in th'e bill "to profit" £lO,
which was stated to be profit on £7O lent money, or rather,
unlawful interest. This item was put in the bill apparently
atter it had been signed by the defendant, in acknowledgment
of the defendant. The plaintiff was formerly connected with
Kinnear of swindling notoriety, and gave evidence against
him on his trial.

The jury found a verdict for the defendant.
The Court adjourned at six o'clock, tw•o cases still remain
ing for trial.

floaTicut.TunE.—A fine melon, of a flavour seldom met
with, weighing► 101bs, was recently cut in the gardens of the
Lord Bishop of St. Asaph. In the same gardens there have
also been cultivated since 1836, the Knight's Elton Straw-
berries; this beautiful fruit have this year attained the
highest degree of perfection, and have been justly admired
by every connoiseur who has seen or tasted them.—Chester
Gazette.

MEAT AND DRINK FOR HORSES.—The horses in Norway
have a very sensible manner of taking their food. Instead
of swilling themselves like ours with a pailful of water at a
draught, no doubt from the fear of not getting any again,
and then overgorging themselves with dry food for the same
reason, they have a bucket of water put down beside their
allowance of hay. It is amusing to see with what relish
they take a sip of the one and a mouthful of the other alter-
nately, sometimes only moistening their mouths as a rational
being would do while eating a dinner of such dry food. A
broken winded horse is scarcely ever known in Norway.
Lucx.—The fortune of M. Laporte has undergone strange
vicissitudes since he has had the direction of her majesty's
theatre, in London. One day rich, the next ruined, he has
at last attained the summit orprosperity. The coronation of
Queen Victoria has; it is said, procured him an admission to
the class, more honoured than honourable, of Millionnai, es;
for we are assured that, since the commencement of the sum-
mer season, thanks to the circumstances which have made
London 'the rendezvous of European aristocracy, he has re-
alized a sum of £4s,ooo.—Musical World.

GROUSE SHOOTING.-Mr. Alexander Glen, of Helens-
burgh, left that place on Saturday morning for the Loudon
Hills, and arrived at Streven that evening. He started from
that place on Monday morning at half-past twelve o'clock:
after walking twelve miles he got to the moors at half-fast
three, and had the first shot for the season at four o'clock.
The first day he killed fourteen brace, and on the second ten
brace. There were about one hundred guns on the moors
the first morning, and a great number had to leave without
having taken a bird.—Glasgow Courier.
SALMON FISHING.—We regret to learn that there is still
a great and general deficiency in the salmon fishings through-
out the northern counties. The Spey, our most important
river, which yields a rental of £BOOO per annum, is this year
nearly two-thirds deficient; the Beauly is one-half, and the
Ness has literally not been worth fishing. The Shin, Casley,
and Carron, which run into the Kyle of Sutherland, and
which are celebrated as salmon streams, have been also very
unproductive. The unproductiveness of the salmon rivers
of late years must proceed from some general cause, which
the legislature has yet sought in vain to remedy; but latterly
the Incessant rains and heavy floods have tended materially
toincrease the evil.—lnverness Courier.

COMING OF AGE OF LIEUT. PULESTON.—The village of
Shocklach presented a scene of universal rejoicing on Mon-
day and Tuesday week, in consequence of the coining of age
of Lieut. Puleston, eldest son of our esteemed fellow-citizen,
Richard Puleston, Esq., of Stanlerplace. On Monday Mr.
and Mrs. Roberts, of the Bull Inn, provided tea for a num-
ber of ladies; a sheep was also roasted and distributed
amongst the poor, with plenty of prime ale. On Tuesday
another sheep was roasted at the Fish Inn, which was washed
down by plentiful libations of .old October. The whole of
these festivities were conducted with the utmost order, and
every person present appeared highly gratified with the en-
tertainraellLB.—Chester Gazette.

POLICE IBTELLIGENCE.

THE POISONING CASE.

When this case was resumed, on Monday,
It appeared that Mr. Craig and Mr. Hoye had each taken
portions of the contents of the stomach, and had conducted
their experiments separately. Mr. Craig stated, that he had
been unable to detect the presence of poison, while Mr. Hoye
said he had discovered the presence of arsenic. Mr. Hall
did not deem this satisfactory, and he said be should like a
third chemist to test the portion still left unexpetimented
upon.
1.1-- -
TUESDAY. -- -
Mary Ann Ryan was again brought up this ill r_tr _
Mr. Richard Hargrave Brett, of the Apothecaries' Wu
this town, attended to state the result of his .experiments on
the matter vomited by one of the sufferers.
'Mr. Brett stated, in answer to a question from Mr. Hall,
that he had examined the fluid brought to him, as well as the
other contents of the stomach, and he was perfectly satisfied
about the existence of arsenic in one species of the fluid, and
also in the solid contents of the stomach. The quantity was
excessively small, as might be expected from the case itself,
the party having vomited so much and the matter which he
had tested being the last that was obtained. There was only
one test that could be depended upon, and that was the re-
duction of the substance to a state of metal, which was effected
in both cases where he operated. In the fluid on which Mr.
Craig had already operated he could detect no arsenic, and
he thought a satisfactory reason could be given. The process
that Mr. Craig adopted bad been abandoned; it was calcu-
lated to remove the arsenic rather than to discover its pre-
sence. But the fluid which had merely been tested by boil-
ing he had examined, and from that there was undeniably -
discovered the presence of arsenic. The tube which he held
in his hand contained the metal of arsenic itself, which he
had sublimed from the fluid.

Mr. Crewe at this moment came into court, and inquired
as to the state, of the case, when he was informed by Mr Hall
that the presence of arsenic was now established beyond all
doubt.
Mr. Brett repeated some part of his statement, and Mr.
Hall directed that the vatious portions of the matter should
be preserved; and addressing Mr Craig, he said, he supposed
that gentleman was then satisfied?
Mr. Craig.—Yes; -certainly.
Mr. HALL—You have now ocular demonstration.
Mr. Craig.—Yes.
Mr. HA LL.—I am very much obliged to these gentlemen
for the trouble they have taken, and we have now one of the
advantages derived from the establishment of that institution
(the Apothecaries' Hall.)
Mr. Brett said, it was fair to Mr. Craig that be should ob-
serve, that there were no other tests except those that would
bring the substance to metal by reduction that were to be
trusted.

Mr. HALL said, he blamed nobody: he dared say it requir-
ed great art and skill. (To Mr. Brett.)—l believe, sir, you
have only come to reside in this town since the establishment
of the Apothecaries' Hall?
Mr. Brett assented.
Mr. HALL—It is very satisfactory to hear such evidence
as this. (To Mr. Crewe.)—There is now no doubt of it.
Mr. Crewe.—l did not hear the first part of the evidence.
Mr. HALL then repeated what Mr. Brett had stated, and
he added, that Mr. Craig did not say that there was no poison
in the substance, only that be could not discover it. And
here was another gentleman, selected for the situation be
held for his skill and science, who had discovered arsenic by
better tests, for those used by Mr. Craig had been exploded.
Mr. Brett.—They are not to be trusted
Mr. Crewe then questioned Mr. Craig to show that the sub-
stance had been out of his keeping before Mr. Brett had ex-
perimented upon it.
Mr. Craig said he received it on Thursday evening about
six o'clock, and it was in his possession until delivered to Mr.
Brett. When he received it he filtered it with paper, and put
the fluid in a clean bottle, which he deposited in a press in
his department, but it was not locked up. All the persons in
the establishment might have access to it—and there were
five surgeons, a matron, two servants, and a porter at the
Northern Dispensary, where he practised ; but he was ac-
customed to make the experiments, and he believed they
were never interfered with. He had no doubt that in this
case the matter delivered to Mr. Brett was the same as re-
ceived by him. He gave the fluid to Mr. Brett, and also
delivered to him the solid matter which had been boiled.

Mr. HALL intimated to Mr. Crewe that the tracing of the
matter had better be delayed until the trial, as he had made
up his mind to commit the prisoner.
Mr. CREWE.—Under what clause, sir?
Mr. HALL—For the capital offence.
The depositions were then ordered to be taken, and
Mr. Commissioner Dowling rose and said, he thought it
proper to state, that two gentlemen had been with the prose.
tutor, and endeavoured to induce him to modify his evidence,
so that it might have a more favourable aspect than the truth
and justice would justify. They were gentlemen too whose
situation would have led him to expect that they would not
tamper with the course of justice.
Mr. HALL said he would send for the gentlemen, and he
should consider whether he should not have them indicted It
was a most disgraceful thing, in a cbarge of this most diabo-
lical nature, to seek to obstruct the course of justice, and
probably those. gentlemen would find themselves in an awk-
ward situation.

At a subsequent part of the day the prisoner was again
brought up, and the evidence was all read over, viz., the evi-
dence of the boy who had been sent with the pie, for carrying
which she gave him a penny on his return—of a labouring
man who saw her in conversation with the boy at the spot and
time mentioned, awaiting his return, and in conversation with
him afterwards, which strongly corroborated the boy's testi-
mony—of Mrs. Power, who described the sufferings she and
her family endured, &c., which has been already published—..
of Mr. Craig and Mr. Brett in which they minutely detailed
the application of the tests to discover the poison—of the offi-
cers who found the small parcel in the prisoner's box, on which
was printed the word poison, &c., &c.
The whole of the evidence having been read,
Mr. HALL asked Mr. Crewe if he desired to put any ques-
to any witness; if so, the witness should be re-called.
Mr. C aEwE said, he should not then put any other question,
but he desired to communicate with the prisoner, which was
acceded to.

Mr. HALL, afterwards, addressing the prisoner said, sbe
had heard what the witnesses had stated against her, and -if
she desired to make any statement respecting it he would
hear her, but he cautioned her that what she did say would be
taken down on paper, and might be read on the trial against
her. After that caution; if she wished to make any statement,
she was at liberty to do so.
Prisoner.—l have got nothing to say about it.
She was then committed for trial, and ail the witnesses were
bound over to prosecute. During the inquiry the prisoner's
demeanour was modest and proper, but. we understand that
in the Bridewell she demeans herself with thoughtless levity.

INCORPORATION OP BOLTON.—The charter of incorpora-
tion of the borough of Bolton was granted on Tuesday week,
by her Majesty iu council.

Within these few months numerous Companies on the
principle of mutual life assurance have sprung up, but none
that have as yet come under our notice offer such a•combina-
tion of advantages as the Freemasons' and General Life
Assurance Company," (of which a detailed prospectus will
be found in another column,) embracing as it does, a liberal
return to the shareholder, an immediate half-yearly .dividend
on the paid-up capital, and a singularly low scale of premiums
on the lives insured, joined to the annual charitable distribu-
of a share (not exceeding one-tenth) of the profits to benevo-
lent purposes connected with Freemasonry. We call the
attention of the Christiarr public to the latter leading feature
of the concern.

THUNDER STORM.—On Wednesday, about 3 o'clock, our
city was visited with a tremendous shower of rain, accom-
panied by vivid lightning, and frequent awfully loud peals
of thunder. The storm continued for some tune.—Chester
Gazette.

MARKING NEWSPAPERS.—A. paragraph recently went the
round of the provincial journals, stating that marks might be
made on newspapers transmitted by post, for the purpose of
attracting attention to a particular subject, without Incurring
any penalty or chaage for postage. This, it seems, is incorrect,
as the following closing letter of a correspondence we have
had with the authorities at the General Post-office will show :
—"General Post-office, August 2, 1838. beg to

INQUESTS BEFORE F. THOMAS, ESQ., CORONER.—On the
11th instant, at Newton, near Chester, on view of the body
of William Foulkes, a child about a year and a half old,
who had strayed from home, and falling into one of the pits
in Flookersbrook, was drowned.—On the 13th• instant, at
Hurleston, on the body of William Thomas, aged nine Years,
who was drowned by falling into the canal at Hurieston
Locks, while steering a boat; the body was almost imme-
diately taken out of the water, but the " vital spark" had
fled.—On the 14th instant, at Runcorn, on the body of John
Fleetwood, who was drowned whilst bathing in the Pool at
Runcorn, on the Sunday previous, in the presence of several
people. He and another man had been drinking together
on Saturday evening, and both come home quite drunk early
on the Sunday morning. They went to the same public-
house again, and drank a quantity of rum, they then left,
fur the purpose of bathing, and the sequel has been recorded.
—Chester Gazette. •

On Monday week Sir Richard and Lady Bulkelev arrived
at Easthain Ferry in their splendid yacht the Iris, from
Beaumaris bay, in four hours and a half, on a shoit visit to
Sir Thomas and Lady Stanley, at Hooton; preparatory to
their departure for Haggerston, and returned on Thursday
morning. On Wednesday week Sir Thomas and Lady
Stanley left Hooton for their beautiful residence, Haggerton
Castle, near Berwick-upon-Tweed. Her ladyship has a de-
lightful cottage on the Cheviot hills, where Sir Thomas 1-ms
a sporting range of 5,0(X) acres, abundantly stocked with
every species of game.—Cheater Gazette.

REMARKABLE EFFORT OF NATURE.—Mr. Piing, the
celebrated cribbage player, who is now residing at Broad-
stairs, affords a very remarkable instance of what nature can
accomplish. This gentleman, who had been dumb from his
birth, whilst walking with Mr. G. Almond, of Old Bone-
street, on Bridgeman Cliff, Cork, suddenly saw a child dashed
to pieces almost at his feet, it haVing fallen from the cliff,
upon which Mr. Piing suddenly received speech, exclaiming
"Oh, heavens;" and has ever since retained his powers of
language. He is at present sojourning at Broadstairs,
where he may frequently be heard conversing with a true
milesian accent.—Maidstone Journal.

BARNSTAPLE CRURCH-RATES.—A meeting was held in
the vestry-room of Barnstaple Church, on Saturday, for the
purpose of granting three church-rates for the year ending
1839. There was a very full attendance, and it was expected,
in consequence of a hand-bill issued by the anti-church-rate
party, that there would he strong opposition manifested op
the occasion. The Rev. Henry Luxmoore, vicar, having
taken the chair, Mr. W. Thorne, the senior warden, rose,
and moved the grant of three rates, as last year. Mr. J.
Gribble considered two rates would be found ample, he obs-
jected to the sum of £6 for sacramental wine, which he did.
not think ought to be included. The rev. vicar observed.,
that it was ordered by the rubric, and had been decided as a •
legal charge upon the church-rates. Mr. Gribble pressed his
motion for two rates, with an understanding that another
rate should be applied for in the course of the year if wanted.
Mr. Fisher seconded the motion. Mr. Mackrell then pro_.
posed, and Mr. Harris seconded, that three rates be granted,
Mr. Norrington moved that the consideration of the questicn _
be deferred to "this day nine months." The rev. chairman
said it had been decided by some of the highest law authori-
ties that an adjournment for nine months was illegal; and he
should have hoped no person would have proposed, in the:
face of such authority, a proceeding so vexatious. . The
amendment and motion were then put to the meeting, and
the latter, for three rates, carried by a majority 9f about ten
to one.—Western Luminary.

Hawkey rose to oppose it. This gentleman resides in a
neighbouring parish, but happens to occupy an office in this
town, which being rated at the enormous value of 30s. per
annum, subjects him to the grievou§ tax of three half-pence.
He therefore took the trouble to stay in town over night to
propose a postponement of the question for six months. This
was seconded by a well-known radical. A show of hands
was called for, which, was in favour of the rate. Mr. Hawkey
then demanded a poll, which was fixed for Tuesday and Wed,

the rate nor his seconder could be found. The business, how-
ever, proceeded, and the result *as—For the rate 100; against

SONNET BY THE SKETCHER.

THE GLOW-WORM.

(From Btacktrood's Magazine for August, 1638.)
0 Gem, more precious than the thrice•tried ore,
And jewels that the cavern'd treasuries hold,
(For what rare diamond ere did life enfold?)
Thee at her bridal hour the chaste Earth wore,

When /Ether, her proud bridegroom, came, and o'er
Heaven's Archway spread his mantle, gemm'd with gold
Of Stars in all their glory manifold—
Yet deem'd Earth's bosom still adorned more.
ingly unfr call thee corm,thy love ungently name,

Some bold Leander with ttiv constant flame,
Whose Hellespont may be this running brook.
0 let this wise-man-worm his pride abjure,
And his own love be half as bright and pure!

FAREWELL TO THE SESSION.

(From the Morning Herald.)
Farewell to the session—another
Half-year of reprieve to Lord John;
To think how this, that way, or t'other,
His ministry still can go on;
How he yet can bamboozle the nation,

And the profits of office retain ;
Since the old trick of appropriation
Can ne'er serve his purpose again.
Farewell to the session—'twas funny,
Through weeks nearly forty, to see
The would-be-wise looks of Lord Johnny,
And Spring Rice trying like wise to be;
'Twas funny to list to the latter,

When, with voice 'twixt a squeal and a croak,
He tried through the budget to patter,
Or pump'd up some second-hand joke.
Farewell to the session—and farewell
To Cupid, well stricken in years,
Who, though foreign sec., could not bear well
The mention of foreign affairs.
Earl pinto farewell—the vacation
Will give you some time to attend
A few lectures on plain navigation,
With some practical trips to Gravesend.
Farewell to the session—big Daniel
Has sail'd for the " big hill of Howth;"
And has ta'en on the voyage Den's manual

To teach him to fritter tin oath :
Joe Hume sails for Greece, for they owe him
A debt which they'll pay him in haste,
Their fingers are itching to show him
How they reverence his fine classic taste.
Farewell to the session—the premier—
Bound no more in his place to attend—
Has, " smiling before him," a demi-year
On subjects more pleasant to spend:
A wit, hen vivant, and a lover,
He can now in his old course push on-,
Flirt, chat, write, pun, get half-seas over,
Or arrange a new case of crim. con.
Farewell to to the session—but steady :
The imp of the Herald cries out
That my farewell is too long already,

So pa better mind what I'm
I had much more to say, but in volumes
That much more could scarce be expressed,
So in pity, dear sir, to your columns,
I'll write " farewell in haste" to the rest.

LITERARY NOTICE.

Plain Instructions for the Attainment of an Im-
proved, Complete, and Practical System of Short-
hand. By T. C Foster, Professional Short-hand
Writer, and Reporter for the Liverpool Standard.
London : Whittaker and Co. Liverpool: D. Mar-
pies.
This system of short-hand will be found one of the
most complete that has been ever issued from the
press—indeed, we might say, the most complete.
Utility and simplicity are the main objects which the
author has kept in view. A perfect mastery of the in-
structions which Mr. Foster has given will enable any
one to take down verbatim the words of the most rapid
speaker. Nor is this the only advantage which will
accrue from an acquaintance with this system : the
cility with which the notes may be afterwards read
is a consideration of very great importance. The al-
phabetic characters have the recommendation of ex-
treme simplicity. The signs for combinations of let-
ters, and the arbitraries, or marks for works, will be
found highly conducive to expedition in writing. In
this department the author has been eminently suc-
cessful. To ladies or gentlemen who may wish to
master the useful art of stenography we can cordially
recommend this work, by which a student of ordinary
ability, especially if a quick writer, may be enabled in
a very short time to take down literal reports of ser-
mons and speeches. We may add that the profes-
sional short-hand writer may also derive much instruc-
tion from this compendium.

THE AFFAIRS OF CANADA.
( From the Morning Herald.)
The latest accounts from Canada have filled our mi-
nisterial journals with delight. Lord Durham has
been making a tour in Upper Canada ;—he has re-
ceived sundry congratulary addresses;—he has review-
ed the troops at Toronto ;—he has given a public din-
ner to a promiscuous party of English subjects and of
Americans ;—and he is, in one word, (if the whig pa-
pers may be credited) a most popular personage—the
very man, in short, whom the emergencies of the times
require to preside over our dependencies in North
America.

Now we never, for our own parts, doubted Lord
Durham's fondness for self-exhibition, or his fitness to
sustain the style of mock-majesty. His progress has,
doubtless, been very grand—his review brilliant— his
dinner of the finest quality—and the addresses full of
civilities. We are not disposed, moreover, to question
Lord Durham's expertness at the game of political
conciliation. He will (we are very ready to con-
cede) conciliate the Canadian traitors, and the ene-
mies of England in the United States, as effectually
as Lord Mulgrave has conciliated the Irish enemies of
the English connection. Lord Mulgrave, too, like his
brother viceroy, has had his triumphant tours, and ex-
hibited dazzling military spectacles, and given good
dinners, and received flattering addresses. But trea-
son, unchecked, is at this moment rearing its head in
Mr. O'Connell's new Dublin Association , and treason,
we fear, is likely to derive fresh energy in Canada
from all Lord Durham's movements.
The dinner-party of the Canadian viceroy would
seem to have been the greatest of his achievements.
At that party, out of 200 guests, 50 were citizens of
the United States; and after the health of the Queen
had been toasted, Lord Durham proposed the health of
the President of the United States Now, let us
mark the import of these demonstrations.
The spot selected by Lord Durham for his military
display, and for his public dinner, was on the United
States frontier, and in the near neighbourhood of the
places chosen by Mr. Van Buren's subjects, or consti-
tuents, or whatever other title may best describe them,
as the scene of their brutal piratical incursion into the
dominions of the Queen of England. From that part
of the United States the traitors derived their princi-
pal resources. In that pait of the United States the
traitors found co-operation—co-operation, be it re-
membered, totally unchecked by any counteracting
demonstration in favour of the English government.
The piracies of the Caroline, the invasion of Navy
Island, and the innumerable outrages perpetrated on
loyal Canadians at the outbreak of the rebellion, were
all planned near the spot where Lord Durham gave
his entertainment, and, very probably, by some of
Lord Durham's honoured Yankee guests ! What !
were there no loyal Canadians—no men who had
stepped forward in the hour of peril, to vindicate Bri-
tish ascendancy—were there, we ask, no men of that
stamp on whom Lord Durham's hospitality might have
been exercised, at least as profitably, as on natives of
the United States, who are reeking from the perpetra-
tion of outrages on the subjects of Great Britain
To honour the abettors of Mackenzie and his gang is
a course of action in the Viceroy of Canada little bet-
ter adapted to restore tranquillity to that country than
would be a tribute of honour rendered to Mackenzie
himself. The thing was an insult to the loyal inhabi-
tants of Upper Canada.
And the health of the President of the United States
was proposed by Lord Durham immediately after the
health of the Queen ! Let it be recollected that the.
President of the United States showed himself not un-
willing to aid the Canadian traitors, by all the safe
means at his disposal. He prejudged the case of the
Caroline, and demanded reparation for the destruction
of that piratical vessel ? He declared himself unable
to repress the piracies of his fellow-countrymen ; and
he took advantage of the embarrassment of our affairs
in Canada, to declare that the time had arrived for de-
ciding the question of the north-eastern boundary !
As far as he could, in short, without committing him-
self to a rash course of policy, Mr. Van Buren has
recently, as on all former occasions, approved himself
the determined enemy of England! Yet the health
of Mr. Van Buren was toasted by Lord Durham, im-
mediately after the health of Queen Victoria! We
must be permitted to doubt whether such a aemonstra-
tion was calculated to strengthen the attachment of the
Queen's loyal subjects to the Canadian Viceroy's prin-
ciples of government.
Lord Durham bids fair, in melancholy troth, to be-
come a mere tool in the hands of Mr. Van Buren.
The latter functionary, armed with the whole execu-
tive of the United States, declared publicly that he
could not repress the piratical movements of his coun-
trymen against the subjects of the Queen of England !
The power of repression therefore vested of necessity
in the Governor of Canada—in Lord Durham. And
how did he deal with the marauders from the United
States, who were captured at Point-au-Pelee? He
•
detained them prisoners of war, and sent them back,
unpunished, to their native country, thertoßl_an fresh
bkr.
outrages against British subjects ! If Mr. ran Bu-
ren's fellow-subjects were prisoners of
of
Van
En
Buren himself must be the open enemy of gland.
These movements in Canada are fitting counterparts
to the " conciliatory" movements in Ireland—nay, in
England. The Queen's ministers offer a very high
i ndicial appointment to a man Whom, four years be-
. fore, they denounced in a speech from the throne as a
Public enemy. In acknowledgment of this offer of
advancement, Mr. O'Connell immediately organises a
scheme for the dismemberment of the empire ! Lord
' Mulgrave too has already given some offence to the
Irish friends of the English connection, by publicly
entertaining Mr. O'Connell at the Castle ; but his
°TdshlP, suppose,. will soon take a lesson from
Lord Durham, and when he shall next regale the men-
dicant, the toast that may be expected to follow the
health of Queen Victoria, will probably be the health
of the Pope! To that complexion the march of " con.
oilmtion" wild turd Us at last
