Miscellaneods. India And China.— Intelli...
told her to eaiher up the medicine bottles , and she believed her master did also . Miss Lanchester , Miss Brecknell and her master , were present . —At the close of the proceedings , the usual address to the prisoner having been made , Mr . Wooler replied : — " I thank God Almighty ti » at I can say from the bottom of my heart that I am as innocent as any pf you three gentlemen sitting tlere ; and I trust that Almighty God , before whom I stand , will bring to light the atrocious criminal who his perpetrated this foul deed . " Poisoning by Mistake . —A woman has been accidentally poisoned at Battle , in Sussex , owing to taking arsenic in mistake for carbonate of soda . Even when she became aware of the error , she foolishly kept the matter secret until it was too late .
Two Colliers have been killed at Harpurhey , Lancashire , by the breaking of a rope by which they were being lowered into a pit . They fell a depth of forty yards , and were taken out dead . Signob Gavazzi has left England for New York . The West Coast of Afkica . —Intelligence has arrived of a sanguinary affair which took place on the 17 th of July at Gambia . A man named Fodey seized and carried away a native and his wife for slaves . Supported by the Marabous , he refused to surrender to the police and military , who , being in small force , were lish
defeated . The Marabous then burnt three Eng villages , and defeated Governor O'Connor , with a loss of thirty killed and forty-three wounded . Subsequently , with the assistance of the crew of a French man-of-war and one hundred and fifty white troops , the town of St . Mary ' s was carried at the point of the bayonet , and totally destroyed ^ Bathurst is in a very insecure state . Another Ascent of Mont Blanc has taken place . Mr . Eustace Anderson , Mr . Templer , of Bridport , and Mr . Dering Williams , of Buscot , are the adventurous travellers . Testimonial to the Hon . F . H . Berkeley , M . P . — A meeting has been held at Bristol , to take the initiative in presenting a testimonial to Mr . E . H . Berkeley , in consideration of his parliamentary services , and niore especially his efforts in obtaining the repeal of the late obnoxious Beer Bill . State of Trade . —The favourable prospects of the harvest have acted as a stimulus upon business in all our large manufacturing towns ; and the hopeful appearance of matters in the East has added to the general feeling of confidence . At Manchester and Birmingham , a great increase of activity is observable ; at Nottingham , in spite of this being the dull season , a very fair demand is made for woollen goods ; and the Irish linen markets are recovering from their recent depression . From all the other seats of industry , equally cheerful accounts have been received .
The Board of Trade Returns for the month ending the 31 st of July were issued on Tuesday . Compared with the corresponding month of last year , they show a falling off in the declared value of our exportations of 1 , 289 , 260 / . At that period , however , the shipments to Australia and New York were at their height , and the total was consequently unusually large , exhibiting an increase of 377 , 105 J . even over the prosperous month of July , 1853 . With regard to imported commodities , an increase is again shown in the arrivals of wheat and flour . Other articles of food and luxury have also been taken largely into consumption . Tea , coffee , cocoa , sugar , wines , spices , and tobacco , all figure for a decided increase . —Times .
Murder near Croydon . —A very horrible murder has been committed at a village called Cudham , a few miles from Croydon . A labouring man named Beagley returned from his work about half-past seven on the evening of last Saturday , and found the cottage in Avhich he lived fast closed and locked . He broke a window , and , together with his son , went in his wife ' s bedroom . Not receiving any answer to his questions , Jxq felt about the bed , and put his hand into a pool of something wet . A light was procured , and blood wns
seen all about the bed . On turning down the bedclothes , the poor woman was found dead , and with her face frightfully disfigured by blows . In an atljoining room was discovered Beagley ' a mother , an old woman upwards of eighty ; her skull was broken in , and her person otherwise injured . She was » insensible , but not dead . A pair of tongs , covered with blood and hair , was found in the firat room ; and tho house had boon ransacked of a few pounds and eomo clothes . Suspicion attaches to two men .
The Birmingham Peel Statue , originating in a fund subscribed by tho people of Birmingham , und executed by Birmingham workers from tho design of a Birmingham artist , has boon inaugurated in tho presence of the Mayor and an immonao and enthusiastic crowd . So groat was tho pressure that jx lady received injuries from which she died . Thic Claiton Poisoning . Cask . —Tho inquest in thia case has terminated in tho following verdict : — " Wo find that tho docoasod , Emma Candy , died from swallowing a quantity of arsenic , by whom given we have not aufficiont evidence to prove . " Tho only additional witness mi Monday was a former servant of Mr . Candy , who said flhe had seen her mastoi ^ kisa Miss Huntley in the milkliouso ; that tho lafflor was more mistress than Mrs . Candy ; and that Mrs . Candy had told hot ( tho witness )
that she had more than once seen her husband on the bed with Miss Huntley , in consequence of which she was very much troubled , and threatened to hang herself . The Christians of all Nations . —During the week which may be called " the Queen ' s week" in Paris—in the midst of the dazzling magnificence and loud enthusiasm of that series of fetes—a meeting of the amicable emissaries of several nations , striRingly distinct from the greetings of the two crowned heads , took place in the same city . A set of conferences of the Christians of all nations was held at the instance of the Evangelical Alliance of London ; at which , notes were compared as to the state of religion in the various countries represented , and with respect to the best methods of extending its influences .
Drunkenness in Scotland . —Mr . D . M'Laren , of Edinburgh , has been examining various Parliamentary returns relative to the sale of spirits ; and from these he deduces the fact that , in the year from May , 1854 , to May , 1855 , during which time the act relative to the closing of public-houses on Sunday was in force in Scotland , there was " a decrease of no less than 957 , 830 gallons of spirits as compared with the average consumption of the preceding four years . This , " he adds , " is at the rate of two-and-a-half pints of decrease for
every man , woman , and child in Scotland , or , if one half of the population be assumed fairly to represent the young persons and others who do not consume spirits , the decrease will be at the rate of five pints per annum for each of the spirit-drinkers in Scotland !" The consumption of ale and beer also decreased during the same period . This decrease Mr . M'Laren attributes mainly to the operation of the act , though he admits that the augmented duty on spirits may have contributed to the result .
Endowed Schools of Ireland . — The Commissioners appointed to inquire into the management of the endowed schools of Ireland are at present making a tour of the provinces , and have already elicited several facts showing that many of the schools are very badly managed , the funds , which are generally amply sufficient for a liberal education , being perverted from their original design and wasted . There are , however , some honourable exceptions to this rule .

Leader Office , Saturday , September 1 . It is said that the interview which recently took place at Vienna between the Duke de Montpensier and his cousin , the Count de Chambord , was against the express advice of the Spanish Minister at that Court . He urged that it was inopportune , and likely to be misconstrued ; but the Duke replied that his object was in fact political , and in the interest of the Spanish dynasty , more especiaily of his wife . The interview , therefore , took place , and has given rise to much talking .
The Disturbances That Occurred A Few Day...
The disturbances that occurred a few days ago at Angers ( Maine-et-Loire ) are said to have been more serious than was at first supposed . Angers contains a population of 36 , 000 inhabitants , and the working people of an entire faubourg marched in regular order on the town , and attacked the Prefecture . This disorder has been suppressed . There are' rumours in Paris of the approaching abdication of the Queen of Spain .
The Paris Correspondent Of The Times (Se...
The Paris correspondent of the Times ( Second Edition , Friday ) says : — " After a comparatively long period of silence resjiecting Austria and Austrian policy , it is again stated in high quarters that this Government has reason to be satisfied with that Power ; and it is not unlikely that the Ministerial journals will be instructed to speak on the subject in tho sense indicated . " The Paris correspondent of the Post ( Second Edition ) says : — " Within the last few days , I have reason to know a very active correspondence has taken place between the Cabinets of Vienna and St . Petersburg , ltussia is not satisfied with Austria . "

The Perils Of The Nation. Last Winter A ...
THE PERILS OF THE NATION . Last winter a British , army was sacrificed . Public resentment ran-high , and a few Ministers were driven from place and power . But the aristocracy retained the helm , though Constitutional Reformers , Administrative Reformers , and State Reformers imposed on themselves the task of propelling the Executive in the right direction . We are by no means sure that punishment fell , in the spring , upon the heads of the really guilty persons . Still less can we deny that Lords PALMEitsTON and Panmxtre , stimulated by
the energy of public opinion , set matters on a better footing , and brought tho general body of officials to a more appropriate sense of duty . But they have hitherto had the season in their favour . No second hurricane has yet invaded the Black Sea ; the rains and snows of another winter have not tested the improved arrangements of the camps in the Crimea . The time of renewed trial , however , is approaching , and tho nation must look to its army .
Tho disasters of last winter have not yet been appreciated . Lord Palmebston tells us that an unprecedented increase of our military forces has taken place , tho number of men enlisted in the present year being double the amount ever before enhatod in a single year . These troops , ho adds , are magnificently equipped , and animated by tho highest spirit . Their equipments may be mSre " mimiflcent » than sorviooab lo , and at not
their manly spirit there is a ^«'"" ' £ "" have we , or shall we over have ngn' » ' ££ * " bi rts J : t : r si . r ^
