A I^iverpool cable of Friday night Bays Two days of filed attiniiou thrcu^h long bouru ol inttnao anxiety aud Ecorchin^ at- moapberio heat have not been withoQt their effect upon all concerned in the Maybrick trial. Ountrally a jtdi.d air waa apparent when the uoart aat again at the nanal hoar tbia morning, llie txperiencea of the laet few daya have tola heavily upon the prisoner, who aa ahe wearily aacended the â- tepa of the dock this morning waa obaerved to be extremely pale and thin. The female warder, who hitherto bud aat at aumo dia- taccc at the aide of tbo dock, thia murning drew her chair nearer to the prisoner, aa though to be in readiueaaabould her asaiat- Mice be reijuirid by the unhappy woman. The courtroom waa crowded, and many fashionably drodeod women were preaent. It waa noticeable that the opera glassea, which on the tirtt two daya of the trial were â- omewhat diaagreeably prominent, were oonspiouously abuuut. Tbe iirai incident to excite animated in. tereat waa a rather atartling admiaaion of Dr. Itichard Uamphrey, the family medi- cal man, who attended the deceased throQgliout hia last illnesa, and with whose orosB txiimiuation by Bir Charles liujiaeU the day'a iiroceedinga began, that had tbe deceased died on Wedueaday, May 8lb, he would have been prepared to give a certiti- oate to the effect that death had been cauued by acute congestion of tbe atomach, either gaatritia or gaatrumenteritis. The teetimony given by Dr. Carter waa aloe important. Dr. (.'arter ia a physician of high ataiiding in Liverpool. lie declared without heaitation that the cauae of death waa araenical poiaon, and no effort of Bir Cbarlea Ituatell could induce bun to admit that thedtath and BDbsi(]ucnt appearance oonld bo due to anything else. Boon after noon tbu prisoner showed signs that the severe trial she was under- going waa producing aymploma cf oxbana- tioc. A glaua of water, however, served to revive her, and ahu Hub»ii)U(iitly apjieared to take more interest lu the proceedluga. Dr. Carter's empbalio asburauoe that the oauae Lf dtrulb waa araenical poiaoning and nothing tlao evidently prouucul a great Jmpreeaion upon all in the court, and it was noticeable that Uir Chsriea HubbcU treated thia witntaa with more than ordinary conauUration, and did not attempt to challeugu hia dictam otherwise than by au^geatiiig tli&t acnte inflamma- tion might have bieu cauaed by impure food. What miiy bo tcinud tlie atnaation of the day waa reserved (or the analyst, Mr. Kdward Davita, to ccutribute. Mr. Haviea produced a lady'a dretuing gown and apron, said to beluiig to Mrit. Maybrick, and to bavo been found in her dreaaing room. Upon it were alaiiia, which Mr. Davies Dubesitatiugly pronounctil to be aruenic. anil he atatid that the pockets were Hiniilarly alained. Thia piece of evidence, which was completely uew,aerved todireolly connect the pritoner iii a peraonal manner with tbo UHu of arsenic in aomo form. Tola created intinae txcitenic nt in thecourt. It waa noticed that beyond a slight twitching of the haiida the priHonir betrayed no |>er- oeptiblu emoiioM at therevelatiou. Ainougut the various articles in which Mr. Daviea stated that he diacoverod araeuio wore the meat jaiue handed to him by Dr. Carter, thu lady a handkerchief, three bottles, one alinobt full o( arsinio, found in a ohocolittr box ; a glata ooutaining a bandkorchitt sonked in milk, in which was altogether upwards of -160 grains of arsenic ; a sealed packet labillud poiaoii for cats, which contained araeniu; a jug which had oontainod food takm to the ollice, and a bottle containing glycerine found in the lava- tory. He hud also found arsenic in some depoaila from the lavatory, drain and sinks. Mr. Davicaeaidlii found arai niciu the liver and intealintH of tbo deceaaed, but not in atomach cr aplieii. I'usaing to aomo tly papers which bad Ixuu supplied to hliu, and which were of the Htnie hind as those already referred to as In ing fonnd in the waalistand, he said tbey cuntained between two and thrue grains ot iirsenio eauli in the form of arsunito of potacHiuiii undaraonioua aaid.

Lesaona in the art of Mmiling have boon raoordod of ancient tiinna, and aa an ele- gant auuoiiiplislinieiik the art of smiling Kracetully in just the right degree deserves oonuideration. Many poriona open the mouth too widely, and the process recom- mended by a writer on beauty is " a sweet and gentle BMiile, where the mouth hardly tipens, the cheek dimples uli^htly and the lower lip just ooiicoals the ends of the npper teeth." â€" Tbo man who ought to listen and le.tiD nsually dots luudt of the talking. A laat Friday night's Portamonth cable gives tbe following graphic account of the reoeption of Emperor William in England that day : Uut in the channel lay thirty of Eng- land's warships, in three long parallel lines, atreacbing down tbe reach. Heaward were ranged 112 veaeela ot war, carrying 2.'J,0U0 men, Tbey were a most iiiipoaing aight colleotively, a moat impressive aight indi- vidually. For hours before tbo big abips ot Germany arrived to greet and paaa them they were the objecta of great inter- eat to all kinds of craft approachingaanear to them as the black-lipped scowls of heavy cannon made them feel inclined. Tbey were perfectly harmless, of coarse, and not the safest things in the world to go to sea in, some of them. 13at they had to-day a surly, don't-oome-too-near-melook tbat kept tbe cheapest excarsion steamers at a diatanoe. luapected closely these groat castka of floating metal, with black bulla and yellow upper works, really looked all tbe milliona they have coat. They were in all the styles of naval arcbitectaro which have resulted from constant changes of tbe last thirty years. They were ahapeleeg and abapely, aymmetrical and the re- verao. Borne ot them were decked in and othera displayed an amount of com- plex hamper in the upper works that would diaappear into ahoe atriogs early in an engageinont. There were iron bulla and steel huUa, aimple, componnd and triple expaneion engines, aingle screwg and twin screws, steel faced armour and compound armour broadside and central battery sbipu, barbettes and monitors. Every vebdol represented n lot ot new facta in plating, propulsion and armament that reijuirea a liberal eduuation to comprehend, and a cloae study of several ecienues to grasp. 13at they all looked excessively injarioua to a foreign power, and had a capacity to do barm that was intelligible to the worst into med amateur at sea. Long, lean, black cannons peeped from the port- holes, Btack out of grey iron aponaons, pro- jected from turretd, or lay prone upon tbo barbettta. Lines of marines in red coata stood with their ritlea perpendicular on tbe decka ; aolitary ecntriea in red coats paced tbe sidea and walked the bridges. lirilliantly dressed cllicers in gold- laced caps, dark blue coata, gold braid, white trousers and patent leather shoes were on every deck. With them were lady guebta in dresses of white, pink and pale blue, perched among the cannon like oanarita in a gun shop, lending to the picture a touch of feminine frivolity in strong c:jntrast with the deadly portent of their surroundings. riii; (ll:I;l!A.N tsgl-AMlO.N. At acjuarler to 4 the little German band of ironclads were deacried, hull down on the horizon, but rapidly came into complete view under a full head of utcain. Aa they came nearer and nearer it was seen that the Ilohenzollern, a black screw yacbt aeomingly about the ai/.e of the Oaborne, but looking like a pigmy in front of the big black warships behind it, waa tl)ini; the German royal standard at the main and the white English ensign at the fore. The Gorman royal standard ia a beautiful llag, with a black iron cross in the centre and four black eaglea on gold ground. As tbo IlohtiizoUorn passed the light- ship the (urman ensign of bhi^ bara on while ground broke out at the fore of the Oabiirne, and the Kngliah on^i^n came fluttering down. Inatautly the same thing took place all along the line ot the fleet. tbe red and white of England giving place to the blue and white of I'riisaia. On the bridge of the lloben/.olleru stood Emperor William in a cocked hat and the uniform uf an admiral ot the German navy. Ueaido him were Count Herbert ilianiarck and I'rinoe Henry of I'rusr^ia, alcu in ooukcd bats and dark blue uuifurina, all three being heavily ornamented with gold braid and bullion fringe. The Iloheu- zollern camo up abreast of the Oaborne, the bridge of the latter being occupied bv the Kuyal |)arty. There waa much lluttor ing uf hands and nodding of heada between the Uoyal reoeption parly and the Uoyal gueat, and then tbo German fleet thundered out a aaliite ot 'il guna, tbt'ir salute to the Uoyal English standard. The elTect, though small in comparison with the noiae thai followed, was a very striking one. Flaahes ot light and columns ot smoke broke from the sides of the big floating batteries, and the smoke rose in aloud)- to envelop them, big white wreaths of it curling away u|> Into the aky. The German fleet included the Haden, Haohaon, Uldenburg, Irene, Waoht, Kaiser, Dentachland, Friedricb der Groaao, the I'reuaajii Ziiion, and the deapatch boat Grief. They were joimd at Cowea by tbo Qerman training ahip Niobe. By the Emperor's order each o( the big black iron clada, as it came up to enter the long vt-aterway of shiiis, hud its sides dresstd with sailors in white, a human decoration ot the neatest and moat ahip ahapo character. Aa the two royal yachts cninn abreast ot the Anaon and Uodnty, the former flying the flag ot Uear-Aduilral D'Aroy Irvine, C.U., and the latter the flag ot Rear- Admiral Traoy, the fleet aalulod Thoru waa auob a roar of powder, euch a thunder ot noise, auoh clouds of smoke anil auoh llaahea of flri', that it is no uouder that the ^leaoeful Khah of I'oraia grew ill over the exiierienoe. Bang mingled with bang, and aalvo toppled over sonoroualy upon salvo, until it seemed as it tbo whole channel was being blown up with seventy ships flrlng '21 guna each aa fast as the regulations permitted. The apeotacle waa onu that no real battle could match. U'hti ships wore half concealed in clouds of smoke, and there was one mass ot blue wroathu and rings. The smoke cleared and the manning of the ships became visible. Every ironclad that had no yards to man manned the sides. Those with yards pre- sented a solid human rigging ot blue jackets in the shrouds, on the yards and at the mast beads. It was a beautiful aight. On ahip after ship, down the long line, on cither aide, the blue jackets were as immo- bile as if they felt to the fnll the import- ance of the oooaaion and the whole rixpon- sibility uf the welcome was upon them. â- IMi: UOWl.

They were received on the (juarter deck of the HohenzoUern by the German Emperor, and tbe Prince of Wales and tbo Emperor shook bunds. JuBt as tbe Emperor landed the German sqaadron, at anchor between Hyde Bank and Mother Bank, saluted the Royal Stand- ard floating from the palace at Uaborne. The thunder of twenty-one guns from each announced to Her Majesty that her guest had arrived â€" rather a royal way of knock- ing at the door. Carriages awaited the party. The Emperor and Prince and rrinceBS ot Wales took the first. As night waa falling over tbe waters and tbe lights were coming oat oa tbe warships, tbe Em- peror ot Germany and King of Prussia was received and greeted in the doorway ot the palace by hia royal grandmother.

A .SyracuB", N.Y., deapatch says : Misa Lilliau Dumont, of No. 2ei4 St. James place, Brooklyn, committed uaicide Tuesday night by hanging bereelf with her corset lacea in a toilet. room of the hotel at Glen- haven, a summer resort on Bkaneateles lake. 6ho bad attended a ball at tbe Glen that night and seemed in the beslof apirits. Leaving the ball room about midnight, she went to tbe place where she was found dead some hoars later. No cause is assigned for the deed, but it ia hinted that she bad been disappointed in love. Miss Damont was between 20 and 21 years of age, a girl of loveliness of person and of charming manners. Her father and mother are said to be people ot prominence in IJrooklyn. where Mr. Damont at one time was rated a very wealthy man. At preaent the family occupy one cf the hand- Bomtst reaidcncee in that city. Cbarlea Dumont, a brother of the suicide, has been a well-known visitor to (llenhavon, and a leader in ita summer festivities. Misa Dumont, has always been especially gay, was exceedingly popular with the yoniig people there, and waa seemingly extracting all the pleasure possible outof berUfu when she elected to end it.

A Maa Boras Runs Amucfc through the Crowded Street*. A Chicago despatch aays : A horse with all the symptoms ot hydrophobia ran amack on Robie street yesterday afternoon and was finally killed beneath tbe shadow ot the Moody tent at Milwaukee avenue. No tiger of the jungle coald have created more of a sensation or shown a more seri- ous desire to exterminate man and beast. Two men were bitten and eight horses torn by the teeth of the maddened animal. A tboueand people joined in tbe bunt to destroy the brute. For two houra they chased up and down the streets and alleya, pursuing and poraaed. Four polioemen with Lieut. Penzen joined tbe crowd. Shortly after noon Mr. Krickson attempted to hitch his home to hia meatmarket wag- gon in trout of his store. The animal was of gentle disposition, email, and without a trick or vicious habit. When the horae waa led from the barn be showed signs of anger. Suddenly, throwing back bis ears, he sank hia tetth in Erickaon'a arm, and, rearing, struck at his master with his fore feet. Erickaon dropped the baiter and tbe borao chaaed hia master into the shop. Tbe beast put mtn, women and children to flight. He charged at everyone he chanced to meet or overtake. In rushing after three women and several children beranovertwo little girls, knocking them down, but only elightly bruising them. Tbe others escaped, one of tbe women climbing a fence, and the othera with tbe Bcreaming children, ran up the steps and iato the door of a house. When nearing North avenue, Con- ductor Duffy, of the North avenue line, stepped off bis car and caught hold of the animal's halter. He auppoeed he was aimply a runaway horse. The animal made a vicioua snap at bim, catobiug bis rit<ht hand with his teeth and taking out bkia and flesh. The conductor left go ot the baiter and jumped on tbe car, tbe horse biting and striking at him. As the horse went down Milwaukee avenue he ran at everything be saw, and took a fancy for at. tackingbia own kind. Every horse be paased, and there were eight of them, he nipped in the aides, aud tore large piecea of hide from the ribs of eome. Others he caught where be could, but always left tbe mark of his teeth. 'The animals thus injured in turn became demoralized and added to the excitement. The police finally drove the horse from tbo street into a vacant lot whi-re he was lassoed and shot. Conductor Dnffy's hand, which waa terribly torn, was immediately cauterized. He and hia writer, on the civil list. She is 02 years of age and totally unprovided for. The library ot the Writers to the Signet in Edinburgh ia about to undergo internal alteratior.H no as to make room for about 20.000 additional volumea.
