We :u'o now offici illy informed for the fir-,t time that antimony h.n boon discovered in tho body of the late Captain Cain, and tho police .no still engaged, a-> they hate been for M>ine time pa«.t, in woiking up evidence in regaid to the matter. A coroner's inquest will in all probability be held up m the remains, w ith a \ iew to ascertain how and by what moans Capt. Cain ci'iie by hk death. The (Government hxve no intention whatever of abandoning the prosecution of the ca->e if theie is any e\ idence to connect anyone with the ad mimeliation of poison.

Had the police been able to find direct evidence implicating, anyone in the murder of Capt Cain an information would have been laid at once, but such evidence was not found.
