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 successful 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 approached, the crowd increased to such an extent that it was difficult to reach the top of the Highstreet.  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, however, a slight shade of sadness in her expression, but no trace of that anxiety and deep mental 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 indifference 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 comment 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 reasonable 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 allow 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 allseeing 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 impressive 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, gentlemen ; 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 unfortunate fellow-countrymen—murder, arson, stabbing, throat-cutting, poisoning, and every kind of wholesale 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 Exemplary 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
