Letters from Vienna assert that the Austrian Government had thought it due to its own dignity, in consequence of the effect produced throughout Europe by Lord Palmerston's late speech, to instruct Count Karolyi, the representative of Austria in London, to ask for explanations as to the mean ing and bearing which the English Cabinet attaches to that speech, so far as relates to the retention of Venetia by Austria. INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The sum received for the sale of season tickets already exceeds the sum re ceived for the corresponding period in 1851. The sale yes terday at Exeter-hall exceeded -0,000. Meyerbeer arrived in London yesterday, and will be present at the opening. THE POLICE AT THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBI TION.— On the reassembling of the House of Commons on Alonday the civil estimates will be moved. In the police estimate an additional sum of £21,521 is required to be voted to meet the expense of the police employed at the International Exhibition. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—Her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners chartered yesterday the Rajaf tham, of 627 tons, belonging to Mr. T. Teighe, of London, for the conveyance of emigrants to Brisbane, Moreton I:lay, Queensland, at the rate of £l4 7s. per statute adult. This vessel to be ready to sail from Birkenhead any day the Commissioners may direct between the 12th and 23d of June next. People wonder how the fastish M.P. could get involved, in four years, with a quarter of a million at his Command. Tho sum, in the case in point, was, we learn, originally not more than £lOO,OOO ; but we rejoice to learn that a heavy rent property must come to the absentee ere long, and let us hope when he is a wi2er man.—Dublin Freeman. MEYERBEER AND AUBER.—Her Majesty's Com missioners for the International Exhibition of 1862 having sent special invitations to Meyerbeer and Auber to be pre sent at the opening ceremonial on the Ist of May, when the overture of the former and the march of the latter will be performed, under Mr. Costa's directions, Meyerbeer has ac cepted the invitation, and will arrive in London this day (Saturday); Auber, who, 60 years ago, was a clerk at a wine merchant's in the metropolis, has never visited Eng land since that period, and being now in his 81st year, is unable to undertake the fatigues of the journey, and has been compelled to decline the honour of the invitation. Meyerbeer, who is in excellent health, will arrive from _Berlin in time to see his Prophets and Dinorah at the Royal Italian Opera. PREFERENCE SHARES. Share I Railways.

A fresh engine was telegraphed for from Didcot, and it proceeded with the train till it nearly reached the Twyford station, where, by a singular coinci dence, an accident of a precisely similar character occurred to the second engine. Great alarm now prevailed amongst th e passengers, the 8 p.m. train being due, but the engine Was fortunately stopped in time to prevent a collision. Both trains were then attached to the engine, and arrived in London about 12 o'clock. LONGEVITY.--There died a few days ago, on the estate of Latheronwheell, Caithness, a man named Kenneth Murray, aged 110 years. He retained the use of all his _faculties up to the time of his death unimpaired, being able to read the smallest print without the aid of spectacles. He bad not a grey hair in his head at the time of his death.— Scotsnzan. i dis pall 22 23 A LADY IN DIFFICULTIES.—WhiIe a lady, "fat, fair, and forty," was rolling down the Morse-market, a few days ago, with an air majesty peculiar to herself, she suddenly felt as if becoming " Small by degrees, and beautifully less ;" and on casting an eye downwards, what was her conster nation on beholding that she had dropped—not anything very remarkable, gentle reader, but something which has been a standing joke for years, viz., a full-rigged crinoline, fully fifteen feet in circumference. A friendly door stood Open, and the lady darted in—not to order a new dress, nor even to take a peep at the latest Parisian fashions—but simply to adjust the immense balloon which had fallen to the earth much sooner than the lady had anticipated.

LONDON, S.A.TURO AY EVENING, APREL 20, 1862. LAW-THIS PAY. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) SMETHURST V. TOMLINS AND EANKESe--THE WILL OP ISABELLA. 13ANKES. The plaintiff in this case, Thomas Smethurst, propounded the will of the late Isabella Bankes. The application for probate was opposed by the defendants, on the ground that the will was not made in accordance with 1 Vie., cap. 26 ; that undue influence was exercised ; and that at the time the will was signed by Miss Isabella Bankes, she was a person of unsound mind. The property is dispute amounts to about £l,BOO. Dr. Phillimore, Dr. Swabey, Mr. Bruce, and Mr. B. Webster appeared for the plaintiff ; Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Merryweather appeared for the defendants, trustees of the deceased. [The following concluding portion of Dr. Smethurst's evidence appeared in the third edition of The Sun of last evening] [A. number of letters, written by Dr. Smethurst to Miss Louisa Bankes and her answers thereto having been read.] The witness proceeded—l was continually urging her sister, Louisa, to come down to Richmond to see the in valid. On the second occasion, when Louisa Bankes came to Riehinond,she was alone with her sister for half an hour; that I swear. She only came to the house twice, and then she had the opportunity of remaining with her alone as long as she pleased. I recollect an interview I had with Miss Louisa Bankes on the 19th of May. ller sister was in bed and appeared much agitated, and said, " I shall soon be well." I imagine that, from the spirit of conversation, Louisa knew of my second mar. riage. I and Isabella Bankes had had a conversation rela tive to the death of my wife. When Isabella Bankes pro posed the secret marriage she said such a marriage would satisfy her conscience. When Isabella Bankes began the subject of the probable death of my wife she said she was very aged, and asked how long she was likely to live. I watched my wife's life with as much care as I did that of Isabella Bankes'. I had told her my wife's health was good. I did not wish my first wife should die. I did intend to marry bliss Bankes in the event of my wife dying Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Then you did wish your wife to die ? Witness— No ; I wished my first wife to live. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Then you did not wish to perform a proper marriage with Miss Bankes P Witness—Yes I did, when my first wife died. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine —Then you wished her to die P The Judge Ordinary—The gentleman wished to leave it, in the one case, to the course of nature, but in the other a different course is said to have been tried. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Did you tell Mr. Senior that your friend in London had drawn up the will. Witness—l have no recollection of doing so. The Judge Ordinary—Try and recollect. Witness—l did not do so. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Did you make a false affidavit ? Witness--Yes, I did. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Did you know the facts to be false when you made it ? Witness—Yes, I did. Re-examined—l am not aware that Louisa Bankes knew of the secret marriage with her sister. The Judge Ordinary—How long was it after the secret marriage was proposed that it was performed ? Witness—l cannot recollect. The Judge Ordinary—Oh yes, you can ; it is almost im possible for you to forget such evidence. You have had a great experience in these matters. Witness—l cannot recollect, my memory has been very much taxed during the whole proceedings. Ihe Judge Ordinary—You say you went to, Doctors' Commons. Witness—Yes, she Wished me to go to see her sister's will. The Judge Ordinary—For what. Witness—To satisfy myself that she had some property. The Judge Ordinary—Why did she do SO, Wi'ness—l cannot tell. The Judge Ordinary—Was it after she had proposed to marry you ? Witness—After, my lord. The Judge Ordinary—Was it before you consented ? Witness—l cannot say. The Judge Ordinary—Stand down, sir. This was the case for the plaintiff. Sergeant Ballantine having opened the case for the de fendants, the proceedings were adjourned till to-morrow. except at Kildare-terrace. , I never kaew they were living together as man and wife. Smethurst told me to ask for Mrs. Smethurst, but he did not tell me they were married. The first time I became aware of an improper intimacy existing between them was when I went to Alma terrace. When I wrote the letter dated tho 30th of April I suppose I must have known' of the improper intimacy. In that communication I said, " Rest assured I shallramain perfectly silent about everything that concerns you." That referred to the improper intimacy. My sister had the power of disposing of about £1,809. The money was left to us that on the death of one sister her money went to the other. I told her that the amount of her dividend was the same as mine, and that appeared to satisfy her. I don't recollect the remark I made to my sister before she said, "It will bo all right soon." When I mentioned the name of Dr. Lane, Mr. Bird and Dr. Julius were in attendance. My sister's business was generally arranged for her by relatives before she went to the boarding-house. My sister always paid her own bills and kept her own accounts. Re-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—When I wrcte the letter of the 30th of April I thought my sister was very ill. Mr. Jennings Tomlins—l am ono of the plaintiffs in this cause. Previous to Miss Isabella Bankes going to live at the boarding house she resided with me. I then con ducted her business. I always looked upon her as a lady with a very weak mind. She knew very well if she had a bill to pay the amount she had to pay. In other matters relating to her property I have had the greatest difficulty to make her understand. Cross-examined—l don't think Isabella Bankes was at _ _ all capable of managing the whole of her business affairs - - I don't think she had tho power to make a will. She might have been able if she had a certain sum of money to dispose of by will to say A B or C is to have so and so, but, as to putting those directions into the regular form, she certainly had not the power. _ _ Dr. Julius, examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l am a • medical practitioner residing at Richmond. Mr. Bird, at the time of this particular transaction, was my partner. I was first called in to see Miss Bankes on the 3d of April. I found her suffering from diarrhoea and slight vomiting. I prescribed for her and saw her on the follow ing morning, and continued to do so every day till the 18th. I was unable to make any impression on her disease. She went to Alma Villas on the 15th. The disease was a very prostrating one. I desired that my partner Mr. Bird should see her. We consulted on the matter. After the 18th, I did not see her until, I think, the 21st. Dr. Todd saw her on the Thursday preceding her death, We were together at the consultation. She was then suffering from the same disease. I had a communication with Dr. Alfred Taylor, and after that an instruction was given to the ma gistrate. I only saw her on three occasions, but only once at Alma Villas. Smethurst was always present. When 1 saw the lady alone at Alma Villas, 1 had seen Smethurst previously in the town, and then I went and procured an evacuation for analysis. I got to the house before he re turned. When I spoke to Miss Bankes, sho turned her eyes to Smethurst, who then spoke for her. There was a look Df intense suffering and agony about her countenance and a sort of wildness about her eyes.lThere appeared to be a kind of terror about'her. When I saw her in company with Dr. Todd I found her very exhausted. She looked very sallow, exceedingly prostrate, and with a very wild look. The look of terror was most peculiar that evening. Smethurst was present all the time we were there. I am unable to give any natural cause of her death. The medi cine I gave was principally of a soothing character. None of the medicines I ordered would account for the appear ances of the lady ; lam certain of that. I saw her in the afternoon after she had made her will. She never spoke to me, so I could form no opinion of her mental state. All she ever said to me was occasionally "Yes" or "No." I always obtained the nature of her symptoms from Smethurst, Antimony would most certainly be an improper medicine to administer to her for what I saw. I most certainly did not prescribe antimony, It has a very depressing effect on the constitution, Cross-examined by Dr. Phillimore—l often prescribe antimony for patients under certain circumstances. I dont know anything about the great mistake that was made in the analysis of the evacuation I sent to Dr. Taylor. I was a witness at the former trial of Dr. Smethurst. Mr. Bird went to Australia in November last. I don't know that Miss Louise Bankes was in the house. The look of terror is not unusual in persons suffering as Miss Bankes was. By the Judge—lt was no t a look of anxiety, it was a great deal more than that. Dr. Alfred Taylor said a portion of an evacuation was put into my hands by Dr. Julius. There were two bottles. I analysed them. I found in one, arsenic, blood, and mucus, and in the other, bilious matter only. I afterwards received portions of the intestines from Mr. Barwell, who conducted the post mortem. I discovered antimony in them. Antimony has a very lowering effect. Cross-examined by Dr. Philib:nom—Antimony is occa sionally given to patients, but not in diarrhcea. It is given under certain circumstances in fevers and also in colds. I made no mistake in the analysis of the evacuation. I say to this hour I made no mistake in the first bottle I submitted to analysis. The mistake was made in a bottle which con tained medicine, numbered 133. A copper which I used being dipped into the medicine, a salt in the bottle set free the arsenic in the copper gauge. Tbis was 4 '.`" euemeiiry up iu rua, time. This case was resumed this morning. This first witness sailed was Miss Louisa Bankes, who was examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine. She said—l am the sister of the lady whose death has been mentioned. Some time after the death of our parent we resided together for about four or five years. My father died about 20 3 ears ego. I remember my sister going to reside at Mrs. Smith's. I was in the habit of see ing her there. I recollect her going to Kildare-terrace. I visited her there. I noticed an apparent intimacy between her and Dr. Smethurst. I spoke to her upon the subject. I told her I did not think it was correct of her to go on with him, as he was a married man. He said he was not married. Subsequently to that I heard i.tv, uuu uo aDOUt a month atter I. re ceived a letter dated from " The Grubs," I received a letter from her in A"ril. In consequence of that I went to Alma villas, Richmond, and there I found my sister apparently living with Dr. Smethurst. He opened the door to me. He went up to my sister's bedroom before I did. He came down in a few minutes, and then I accompanied him up stairs. I found my sister in bed, and she appeared very dangerously ill. She was very much changed indeed since I last saw her. I spoke to her first in Smethurst's pre sence. I asked her how she did, and she said, very ill. She then spoke about her money, and said she did not think it was as much as it ought to have been. She referred to her dividend. She had made the observation of being all right soon before that. She said, if you wait a little it will be all right, she turned round to the doctor and said "Won't it and he replied "Yes." I remained in the house about three hours, and during that time I was not with my sister for more than a minute at a time. Smethurst told me to come out of the room, as she could not bear my society. I was not alone with her at all. She did not appear affected by my presence, on the contrary I thought she was pleased. Mr. Lowe, an eminent surgeon, is a relative of ours. I mentioned his name to Smethurst. I proposed that he should see my sister. He said he thought it was better that he should not. Smethurst mentioned the subject of the money. He said he thought it ought to have been more, and he could not understand why it was not. He did not mention the sum. I said it was the legacy duty that affected it. When I left, I asked to come again. The Judge—Who? Mr. Robinson—l am the solicitor conducting the suit for Dr. Smethurst. I also conducted his case when he was indicted for bigamy. I have the brief I prepared in my hand. The brief was here handed to his lordship. Mr. William Campbell Sleigh—l conducted the defence of Dr. Smethurst for bigamy. Beyond all doubt I received other instructions than those contained in my brief. After reading the brief I thought it would be desirable to plead guilty. A consultation on the night previous to the trial took place at my house, at which my junior, Mr. Salter, Mr. Robinson, the solicitor, and other persons were present. Dr. Smethurst certainly was not there, I should not have had him in any house. It was from what was disclosed to me at the consultation that I altered my opinion, and that T was induced to raise the defence I did. With the respect to the allegation that Smethurst had written some notes to me during the trial as far as I can reeolleot nothing of the kind took place had it been so I should have thought it would have been my duty as a counsel to have thrown up my brief. There was some attempt at applause in court, but it was instantly suppressed. This concluded the evidence. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine the proceeded to reply on the part of the defence. Dr. Phillimore addressed the jury for the plaintiff. The summing up the evidence by the learned judge fol lowed. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. Witness—l said to Smethurst in the presence of my sis ter, that I should like to come again, and he said I should do so. POLICE-THIS DAY. Examination continued—l left, and the next day I wrote to Smethurst. I received an answer ; in consequence of that communication I did not go. I then received a letter from Smethurst, dated April 30. When I got down on the Sunday I found Smethurst there, and my sister in a state of prostration. She knew me. I was never alone with her. I only remained a few minutes, because Smethurst told me to come out of the room. I had no conversation with her at all. She could not speak to me. I arrived at Richmond between 12 and I. 1 made a proposal to Smethurst to re main and sit up with my sister, but he refused. My sister was then in a very feeble state. She made an effort to speak to me, but could not. I did not see her again that day, I stayed in the room down stairs. Smethurs remained in the bed room. I did not give her any medicine. I slept that night at a lodging in the neighbourhood. I went again to Alma Terrace next morn ing about 9. I did not see my sister. Smethurst told me shO was too ill, and that the room was not arranged. I saw her in the afternoon between 4 and 6. It was before Smethurst was taken into custody. I had been sent in the interval to London for medicine by Smethurst. He said he wished me to get some medicine made up in Bond-street. He said it would be better made up there. Dr. Julius was told of it, but he said he did not think it would de any good. I made an objection to go to town, and Dr. Julius said I had better not go. Smethurst wished me so much to go that I ultimately went. Smethurst was at home when I returned. I was with my sister all Monday night as nurse. Smethurst told me he had been taken into custody, but admitted to bail. My sister, on the Monday night, was in a very weak state. She thanked me for being with her, and wished me to re main all night, I did so. She slept during the night. I was with her iust before she died. Excepting on the Mon day night, I never had any private communication with her. I did not know, until after her death, that a will had been made. My sister was a very nervous excitable person ; her health had been good. Cross-examined by Dr. Phillimore—My mother died previous to my father. There were six in the family when my father died—four sisters and one brother. One of my sisters is Mrs. Tomlins, another Mrs. Haffenden, myself, an elder sister, and and the deceased Isabella. My elder sister is dead. After the death of my father I resided at Brighton. I canno t say positively ho w l ong m y sister and I resided together. After we left the former place we went to Notting -hill to live. Two years elapsed before she went to live at the boarding-house. During that time she re sided with her brother. She assigned no reason for living apart from me. We never had any quarrel. I went to see her about three weeks after she went to live at Mrs. Smith's boarding-house. She was associating more particularly with Mrs. Firth. I did not find her associating greatly with Mr. and Mrs. Smethurst. She introduced me to Smethurst, but not to his wife. A ver y s hort time elapsed previous to ray going again to the boarding-house. I saw him on two or three occasions when I went. I think I went to the boarding. house within a week of her leaving, and then saw Smethurst. I then thought Smethurst was paying attention to my sister, but 1 did not notice any great intimacy. It was about a week after she left Mrs. Smith's that I saw her at Kildare-terrace. I don't recollect any conversation taking place between us at that time other than telling her about going on with a married man. I think I mentioned the subject of my seeing her at Kildare •ter race when I was exam i ne d a t the cri minal trial of Smethurst. I never recollect speaking to her on the subject of her intimacy with Smethurst MARLBOROUGH .STREET. SINGULAR APPLICATION.—SHOOTING A CAT.—A re spectable looking female applied to Mr. Knox for his advice under the following circumstances : The applicant said she asked to know whether a person could shoot cats ? Mr. Knox said it was clear if a cat was caught in a trap set to catch birds she could have no remedy. The applicant said the person had shot two cats before. She was aware that she could not claim anything as damage. Mr. Knox asked her where the person was standing, and the applicant said at a back window, and that the place was not a thoroughfare but a back yard. Mr. Knox told the applicant to call again and he would see what could be done, and this morning she did so, when Mr. Knox said ho had considered the case since she was a the court on the former occasion, and he thought if the person shot the cat dead it would not come within the act for the prevention of cruelty to animals. The applicant said the Jerson fired at the cat twice, and the second time the wtiole charge went into its body. Mr. Knox said he did not think it could be considered as an act of cruelty. The applicant said some glass was broken. Mr. Knox said there was such a place as Newgato for that. The Highway Act said—" Any person who shall wantonly fir© a gun within fifty feet of the centre of the carriage way." Sergeant Franklin, G Division, said he measured the distance, but not to the centre of the carriage way. • • Mr. Knox said he was afraid, after what the Sergeant had stated, that it would not be within the fifty feet of the centre of the carriage way. There was a society called the Society for• the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and if they would like to take the case up and fight it, he would see what could be done. The Sergeant said he would communicate with the so ciety, and the applicant retired. THAMES. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A CHlLD.—Edward Brown, a clog maker, of No. 218, High-street, Shadwell, was brought betore Mr. Woolrych, charged with assaulting Annie Willis, a girl about 11 years of age. It appeared that the prisoner had been quarrelli ng w ith his wife in the street, and their brawls caused some boys to assemble, who commenced laughing and shouting. The wife followed her husband and commenced scolding him. The urchins followed, and one of them threw a stone. The prisoner then filled his pockets with stones and began pelt ing the boys. One of the stones thrown by the prisoner struck the girl Willis on the forehead and inflicted a s_vere wound, which was dressed by Dr. Ross, of High-street, Shadwell. There was a deep indentation on her forehead, and she lost a good deal of blood. _ . Mr. Woolrych commented on the absurdity of the pri soner's conduct in making public his domestic brawls, 'and then indulging in the childish and mischievous practice of throwing stones. The prisoner said he had only a few pieces of coke and charcoal in his pocket, and he was pelted by a mob of dis orderly boys. He denied wounding the child. Mr. Woolrych said several witnesses had sworn the pri soner had thrown the stone and wounded the girl. He re commended him to make compensation to the parents of the child, and on his refusal to do so, fined him £2 and., 20s. Costs, or 21 days' imprisonment, .; BRITISI. MINES.
