In February last, fourteen years after, the | ap) ce of the remains of deceased, which were still | Jn good preservation, led to an examination under the @irection of a medical board, when it was found that the stomach contained arsenic. These, in connection with previous circumstances, caused the arrest of Mr, Cook, and a primary examination before Ivers Phillips, of Fitchburg, resulted in his committal to jail, and su! urde! attached further histor, of this extraordinary ease can be gathered from the evidence, portions of which we give as reported in the Worcester Telegraph Mrs. Wann (fitst witmess)—Am a ceased; remember her well; she was in good health phe had usually been; on Sabbath afternoon. the day before ber death, she was taken sick about four o'clock; ‘this was half an hour after | had seen her in the room about her work; Mr. Cook called me; went into the bed room; found my sister on the bed in great distress, and trying to vomit; gave her some peppermint and water; she said she was well when the sat down te sup- per; yontinued in great distress at intervals, and ‘wondered what could ail her; she appeared so different frcm what she ever did before, that | was afraid to stay ‘Witheher, and asked him to goafter my sister, Mrs. ‘Lane; he said he did not want anything to do with her; this was about sundown; he did not go; after he went to milking, | went after her myself, and she came In the latter part of the evening, after the deceased had a second distressed turn, | urged ©. to go after a physician.

He excused himself by raying that he wanted to shave, &e., but finally went for Dr. Cutler. who came about five o'clock, and staid til my sister died, which was about ten o'clock, ynday morning, Soon after the doctor came,’ Mr. Cook went tor help; he came back after b img a Miss Cynthia Metcalf; when he came in, | told bim Roxanna was dead; he followed me to the bed, and loosed at her and raid, * I :uppose she was ready.” In the afternoon, Mr. Cook was consulted in reference to the faneral arrangements, and when told there was nothing in the house suitable fora shroud, he directed that Roxanna’s wedding dress should be used, which wasdone. The funeral was on ‘Wednesday; | had previously suggested to Mr. Cook a t mortem examination ought to be made ; he said it should not be done. The body swelled considerably after death; it was deposited in my father’s tomb. At her death, she bad $300 in money and notes; had heard something said about his having a part of it ; ‘this wae about three weeks before her death; she not willing to let him bave any, as she intimated that he had told her he wanted it for the Jast payment on his farm—the same reason he had given when she had furnished him money on former occasions. Were not troubled with rate at Cook’s house, during the winter in which my sister died. He some time atter showed a paper of poiton at my father’s house ; suid he got it of a pedlar, thinking it would come handy some time. Mr. Cook subsequently married Miss Metcalf. The night after my sister died, | had occasion to go down into the kitchen about 12 o'clock ; found the prisoner sitting with Cynthia Metcalf. | had said in the eve- ning that I would get things ready for the night, and retire to rest. On the afternoon my sister was taken tick, heard Cook go down cellar and draw some cider, and afterwards go into wy sister’s room and ask her to drink and see how sweet it was. (The witness said, however, that she was not sure whether her knowledge of drinking was obtained as above stated, or whether her sister, or Mr. Cook told her ) Cook gave me a note of about $15 for what he owed me; the note was on that due to Roxanna ; he gave me the note soon after fe was dead: bring: examination of Mrs. Ward elicited no new facts. She re affirmed what she had previously stated in relation to finding Mr. Cook and Mirs Metcalf in company, on the night before mentioned, but hed Anown of no intimacy having existed between them. Mre, Anicatt Lane was the next witness. She isthe wife of Mrs. Cook’s brother, andthe same whom Mrs. ‘Ward called in on Sabbath evening. Her testimony ‘was mainly corroborative of some portion of Mrs Ward's statements. Dr. Cutter, the physician who was called by Mr. Cook, described the symptoms which he discovered when he saw Mrs. Cook; they were such as would be caused by arsenic, though it did not oceur to him then that they originated trom that cause. On his way home he met the prisoner returning with Miss Met- calf; told him his wife was dead, but he made no reply. Dr. Cutler testified to the examination of the remains | last February; found the stomach in good preserva- tion; also some other parts of the body. He also testi- fied to the presence of arsenic, to which was owing the prerervation of the remains. Mr. Hastin he sexton at Ashburnham, effect that he had noticed the swollen si body when put into the tomb; that it subsequently became so much ewollen that the coffin was split, (this, he eaid, was about five years after,) that he had testifiedin continued to notice the singular preservation of the | body, particulary about a year since, on the occasion of putting another body imto the tomb. Dr. Wevsren, of Cambridge, vestified to the chemical examination of the remains: found upward of four gtains of white artenio, a part of which he produced in ‘court, come of it reduced to # metallic state; could not tell bow much would be required to produce death, and doubted whether any physician could ; writers have stated all quantities, from one to ten grains. Dr, Wenstex sta ed, on the cross-examination, that he Degan the chemical analysis of the remains, with the previous knowledge that they were those of a person who had been poisoned. The cross-examination elicited an interesting and detailed account of the various tests employed in the analysis, and the resuits | that were obtained. physician of Mr. Cook. He testified tothe good health ct Mrs, Cook ; also, that he had sold arsenio tothe Dr. Prence, ‘of Ashburnbam, bad been the family prisoner, who said he wanted it to kill rats ; this was short time before her d Dr. Pierce also testifed that when he went to the preliminary examination, ‘Cook came out and asked if he bad sold him arsenic; and, being answered in the affirmative, said, * Don’t swear to tbat |"? Mr. Kane, of Sudbury, testified to having collected for Mr. Cook, in 1834, two of the notes that were due his wife. ‘Dhe prisoner is about forty years of age a healthy, | robust looking man, and appears with much propriety in the eourt room. {From the Boston Times } Mrs. Ward, the chief evidence against Mr. Cook, on trial at Worcester, for the murder of his wife, had a dream, which wes offered in evidence, but was ruled out, Aceoraing toa correspondent of the Times, it was in this wise :—* That Mrs, Cook was murdered, and that the murder was discovered fourteen days after the ect was committed. She interprets days to mean years, and as it was discovered fourteen years after her death, that there was poison in the body, and as there is suf- ficient evidence of murder to bring Cook to trial, she | judges one part of the dream is as likely to be true as ‘any other part.

Hays and his exploring party, fears were for | seagon entertained that a large band of hostile savages | bad followed on after him. for the purpose of giving him battle, but it appears frem the statement of Capt. B. F, Hill, as published in the Austin Democrat, that the gailent Colonel and his party had advanced as far az the Puerco without suffering any molestation trom the Indians. The statement of Capt. Hill, however, | that their route had been over an exceedingly rocky ! country, so rough that the party had been traced by the blood they left on the sharp stones, and that their provisions had become so exbausted that they were about to kill some of their horses for meat, will excite new fears in the boroms of their friends that they may be subjected to privations and sufferings similar to those that the Santa Fe men experienced in their journey over the vast prairies east of the Rocky Moun- tains. No herdsof builalo range near the Puerco and all most the only wild animals found there are the ante- lepe and the wild deer, which are not numerous.and are remarkably wild. The party depend upon game for sustenance. It is to be hoped that they will pro- eeed directly to the Presidio del Norte, they will here find all the provisions and supplies they require. If they should attempt to proceed up the valley of the Conchos to Chihuahua, without obtaining supplies at the Presidio or at El Passo, they will be compelled to travel for many days through a sandy, desolate region, entirely deetitute of fot We are sorry to learn, frem the acount of Capt. Hiil, that Col Hays could ob- tain no guides; and the party appear to be totally ig- norant of the fact that there is a route leading from the Colorado to Chihuahua that is practicable for wagons, abounding in good pasturage, and traversed by numerous small rills of sweet wal Dr. Conolly, of Chibuabua, and his party, traversed this route in the summer of 1840, crossing the Rio Puerco about 150 miles above ita mouth. The route they have traversed thus far is so circuitous and rough that it is quite im- probable that it will ever be of any advantage to the traders of Bexar. The distanoe by this route must be even greater to Chihuahua then by the Presidio de Rio Grande and San Fernando, and less practicable for wagons. It is to be hoped, however, that Col. H on his return, will discover an intermediate route. the mouth of the Puerco and above the Presidio de Rio Grande, that will be superior to either ‘There were two ship arrivals recently at Galveston, with 200 German immigrant’.

In our last number we made ome allusion to the ex- edition that is about being fitted out for the Upper 40 Grande, under the command of Mejor Lamotte. Since then we have been led to reflect upon this mat- ter, and we now claim it as one of the most important four day. We say important, for we feel confident of the result, which will be to throw open to the world a vast Tegion, in climate unsurpassed for ralubrity, preeenting a happy home for thousands of our fellow beings. Our readers may form some idea of the value of this region, by the following extracts from a work publiched rome time sinoe, entitled “Valley of the Rio Grande. its soll, productions, Xo.” “Itie asingular fact, that the soil of this extensive valley is composed of ‘mineral constituents precisely similar to those which compose the Delta of the Nile, and there is scarcely a doubt that, under a proper 8: tem of culture, it will become equally productive “The Rio Grande resembles the Nile in many re- markuble features. It bas its source in towering prim- itive mountains, composed of red granite, identical in appearance and geological structure with the material from’ which the imperishable monuments of the Pha- raohs were hewn. “Below these mountains, at different elevations, are extensive formations of secondary limestone and sand- stone—vast fields of moving sand through which the river forces its devious way in annual floojs, by con- stantly changing channels, and broad plains covered like thore of Upper Egypt, with eilecious pebbles, such as flints, agates, and chalcedony, intermingled with large petrified trees, euch as are found near Cairo. In- deed, throughout its whole length and breadth, this extensive valley presents nearly the same geological characteristice es that of the Nile, and ita soil, being made up of the detritus of rimilar-rocky formations, most be similar in its chemical constituents. “It is troe that the valley of the Rio Grande is not rubject, like of the Nile, to annual inundation, but it is more favored by climate, as the rains fall 60 frequently, and im such quantities, that the crops ael- dom fail from drought. Indeed, all the elements of fertility exist in this fine region, and, as before ob- terved, only require to be developed by a system of agriculture similar to that practised in Upper Egypt, to yielda return as ample as can be realized on the richest lands of that prolific country. The truth of this theory is practically evinced at EJ Paso, six hun- dred miles above Point leabel, (as the crow flies,) where, by means of irrigation. the most abundant crops are raised with comparatively little labor. The time is probably not far distant, when the Egyp- tian cctton will be cultivated in the Valley of the Rio Grande to as great an extent as on the banks of the Nile. A few experiments in the culture of the cotton plant have been made in the vicinity of Mata- moras, and have proved remarkably successful. It grows in this region with wonderful luxuriance, and jields abundantly, almest without Inbor or care. The sugar cane, also, here grows to an enormous size, and far exceeds in its producta the cane of Louisiana or of any portion of Eastern Texas. It bas been remarked by naturalists that tropical plsnis are more productive at or near the northern imit of their growth, than near the equator. If this doctrine be correct, the culture of sugar cane will ba found more profitable in the lower portion of the Valley of the Rio Grande, than even in Cuba. Many valua- ble tropical fruits may also be grown in this section with great advantage. ‘The orange, fig, and pomegra nate, flourirh with great luxariance in the neighbor- hood of Matamoras and Camargo. Such advantages of soil and climate cannot be overlooked, and it may be taken for granted, thet at no distant day, large por- ti bel and Lored covered with plantations o! cotton. interspersed with groves of oranges, figs, olives, and other fruits of the tropics, surpassing in luxu- riance of growth and beauty of appearance the same productions in any other region of the South.

Indeed, the val the several tributary streams of this region are equal in all respects to the Valley of the Colorado. That of the Puerco is said to be superior toit. The rich vales, and the whole region, el- tered from the icy winds of the north by high ranges of mountains, and enjoy delightfully mild and tem- perate climate. Under the impotent sway of Spein, and the still more impotent sway of Mexico, there has existed no stimulus to industry, and from this and other causes, these fertile lands have remained almost as derolate and unimproved as they were when occu- pied alone as the hunting ground cfthe savage.

Tur Fanny Kempe Casr.—A divorce case has be+n pending for several days before a court of law in Philadelphis, which, from the character of the per- sons concerned, has excited unusual interest. The parties to the suit are Pierce Butler and his wife—the celebrated actress and authoress, as well as niece of the famous Mrs. Siddens—Fanny Kemble. The hus- band suer for a divorce. and the wife opposes the appli- cation.

The truth of this miserable business seems to be that it was a very ill sseorted match, and attended with tones the reeult which might have been expected the motives which led toit. Pierce Butler married Fanny Kemble for her genius and fame, ai married Pierce for his money—his fortune in the [neighborhood of ajmillion. Love—there could bave been little or none on the part of the lady. Butler eppears to be a very “ slow coach,” while Fanny wasan | uncommonly fast one.

Our own continent alone yielded, yearly, more than thirteen millions’ worth of gold, before the disco of the new found Eldorado. It must be recollect! also. that the mines from which this amount was ob. tained, are, for the most part, situated in countries distracted by war and civil dissensions, and that, in many cases, the want of wood and quicksilver rendered some of them s'most un} juctive. But, when we consider that the western slope of the Sierra Nevada is cove: with timber, and that quicksilver those mountains, as ntifal amd accessi- ble as the precious dust of the Californian streams— that this glorious region is owned, and mostly inha- bited by « hard-working, industrious race, and enjoys the blessings of an orderly government—it would seem that gold is about to circulate, throughout the world, in such quantities as to make it sink rapidly from .ts proud rank among the precious metals. It would be highly interesting to speculate, at length, upon the sopsequences likely to result from such an influx of gold, ‘The nominal rise of all commodities, the unprece- dented fluctuation in pricer, will produce human misery suceen to slake even “Satan’s own innate thirst of evil.” Governments, now on the brink of ruin, will be able to pay up their enormous national debts, taking up their stock at par, and strictly redeeming the pligated faith of the State, but reducing the holders of govern- ment securities from attiuence to poverty. At the first tidings of the probable depreciation of gold, all the minions of fortune, all the rich whose wealth consists in gold, or in securities which repre- sent gold—such as bank stock, state stock, insurance, canal, railroad or turnpike stock, or in mortgages or notes, or anything which has a stated value in dollars stamped upon it—will take the alarm and begin looking about for investments which cannot be affected by the depreciation of gold; and then such a scramble for Teal estate will take place as will make the United States forget 1836, ‘Thore wealthy religious corporations, which hereto- fore have warily persevered in leasing their real estate for long terms, with covenants of renewal, will find their ground rents, though nominally still the same, inadequate to the support of clerical pomp.

The ex- pense of improving the river, so as to be navigable to Ottawa as long as it is to Peru, is estimated at seventy- five to eighty thousand dollars; and how long will it be before Ottawa will incur this expense?

That is, the incidents attending the race rendered interesting. The entries were Topaz and Littie Mistress, From the time of the announ the evening previous, up to starting, favorite, at odds of 3to2and5to8. At these odds there was considerable speculation. And we imagine that there was almost as much business done on “ time’’ as apy other way. A description of the race needs but little fpace In our columns. In the first heat the start was good. Little Mistress led the track, and rather took the lead. On the back stretch, she being about and = half im advance, the running looked like a waityng race; but, in fact, it ‘was a watching one, on the partof T: as the sequel of the heat proved. From the first half mile to the head of th detween Little ‘quarter stretch, Mistress and Topaz was etill abouta length and s half; but at the last mentioned point it was evident that Toyez was quickening her “lick,” and as the two paseed out the first mile it was nose id tail between them. From the score to the back stretch, and in fact to the head of the querter stretoh, (on the second mile.) the competitors were well up togrther. and going at an apparently easy pace. But down the last quarter there was « rush, in which Topaz cut the Shamrock down, and keeping up the speed passed by the stand half s length ahead, This position was well main- tained up to the half-mile post of the last mile, wh ident the Giencoe mustwin. Still Littie M! was showing her pluck ; but at the head of the home run Topaz widened the gap, heat four lengths ahead in 5 minutes and 48%; reconds. Now every thing was changed—time, bets, odds, and all. ‘Two to one, three, four, and five to one, were of- fered upon the Glencoe filly, but there was hardiy a taker to be found. The“ thing’? was considered to be “out.” ‘The start for the second heat was fair. Topaz bad the track,and took the lead by about ten or twelve feet. Immediately on the first turn Little Min- tress collared and darted past her competitor; which incident gave a momentery hope to the fast timers and those who hud taken the odds. But, as the poet fe ingly expresses it, “ This world is all a fleeting show.” and while the smile of hope was still lighting the coun- tenances of the “ fast uns,” and the odd fellows, up te the three quarter post of the second mile, Topaz mischievously ‘‘ kicked all the fat in the fire,” by rush- ii ad, passing the stand two full lengths er after surrendered her posi- tion. SI aheud, with all the ease in the world, in 5 minutes and 5234 seconds. The day was cloudy, but pleasant; the track fine, and the attend- ance hardly fair. The fect is.

Verifier wasgreatly the favorite be- fore the start, his backers freely ofiering ahundred to sixty, and a hundred to fifty on him, and finding but few takers.

Said corporation was called upon in 1846, by a resolution of the Senate, to report “within thirty days, under oath of the proper officer,’ the amount ot their income, expenditures, &c. They made a report in the following words: “The vestry have received the resolution of the honorable the Senate, and out of the very great respect they entertain for the Senate, and a desire to comply with any requirements made by your honorable body, have, without hesitation, caused the proper return to be made; but they must be permitted to add that they could not he compelled todo so by any existing law of the State.” This sounds very like denying to recognize, in 1846, that authority which they bumbly petitioned, in’ 1814 when théy wanted the name of their corporation tered. But to their report We find their income is $106,441 95, and expenditures $212,401 95, sinking in the three and a half preceding years, for which time it is made, the enormous sum of $15,960. Is it possible? Poor fellows, they must be sudly in debt if such is the oase. We shall see. We find nine lots of ground in Greenwich street, valeed at $27 000, which they reat for $30; ten lots in Greenwich and Christopher streets, valued at 29.000 dollars —they rent for $30. “A piece of land” in Chambers street, value not steted, they rent “annually forever” at a “quit rent” charge of $14 70; lot 319 Broadway, valued at $26,000, rents for a “pepper corn; lot 184 Murray street, valued at $14.800, rents for» “pepper corn; and so of five-sixths of the land they hold, they rent at such exceedingly low rates. Does this look like consistency? Although the report is made “under oath of the proper officer,” it bears the stamp of untruth If those trustworthy gen- tlemen lost nearly $16,000 in so short atime, would they not get and thereby sum? easonable valuation for their property, ve their pockets such an enormous This is “church speculation” ani “church ion,’ and it may bb asked, “where are the There are many, who would like to kuow why the Legislature accepted such a report?

J. 0, Woodruff & Co., of New Orleans, brought suit against the steamboat Ma- xeppa, for damages to the amount of $2,000, for freight shipped on said boat, at St. Louis, landed at New Or- leans on Friday, and offered for delirery on Seturday afternoon, The consignees, J. O. Woodruff & Co., refused to reoeive the freight, and it remained on the landing until Monday morning, when it was found to be in a damaged condition. ‘The Mazeppa had left port on Sunday, carrying with her the tarpaulins which had been over the freight, and leaving it exposed To very inclement weather.” The freight being corn and bran, consequently suifered damage. The plain. tiffs brought proof of culpable negligence on the part of the offloers of the boat, in discharging, and in as- sorting the different consignments, and took the ground that the freight was not in a fit situation to be Teceived, The defendants, by their witnesses, proved that all possible care and expedition was used in discharging raid freight, and that the fact of the freight bill being paid on Saturday, on presenta- tion, was, in itself, a virtual delivery of the freight, and’ that they were not responsible for damage which hed been sustained after that time. From the evidence of Captain Dunnica, Captain ‘witchell, and others, on the part of the defertes, it was shown that delivery of the merchandise in question, accord- ing to custom, had been made ; and from depositions read on the part of the plaintiff, it appears that mer- chants in New Orleans frequently refu produce that is ready for delivery on noon, from the fact of the general pres: Instruction to the Jury —What con: is determined by the usage of the place of desti- nation; and the jury will, therefore, govern themselves by the proof on that point, Thus, whether freight is received at the wharf in New Orleans; whether the whole lot must be landed, before the consiznee is bound to receive any part of it ; at what hours, and on what days, or on what notice it may be delivered —are all circumstances regulated by custom. ‘T’he question in this case is, whether the boat complied with the urages at New Orleans, upon the subject of delivering merchendise. ro that the consignee was bound to have received the goods, or whether the consignee actuaily aid receive them before they were injured? ‘The jury rendered a verdict for the defendants.—St. Louis Reveille, Nov, 22.
