(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock.) The trial of Dr. Thomas Smethurst for the wilful murder of Isabella Bankes was proceeded with this morning. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Clerk, and Mr. Merryweather appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. Giffard defended the prisoner. The first witness called was Mr. William Easter, clerk of St. Mark's Church, Ken nington, who produced the book of marriages celebrated in that parish in 1828. He showed an entry of a marriage between Thomas Smethurst and Mary Durham on the 10th of March, 1828. Mr. Alexander M'Crostie, cashier at the London and Westminster Bank, said the prisoner had kept an account with that bank for ten or twelve years. The entry in the book (the registry of marriages) is in the handwriting of next session. The Lord Chief Baron—l can see no objection to such a course. • ,f fr. vo- The trial of the prisoner was then postponed until Mon day, the loth of August. The juryman Instone, it was stated in court, was labour ing under complete nervous prostration. He is not the same person who wished to be excused yesterday from his prejudice against the prisoner. The jury Were last night lodged under lockeand key at the London Coffeehouse, Ludgate-hill, and early this morning Mr. Harker, the chief usher of the court took them for a walk, prior to the commencement of the day's preceedings, in the Temple-gardens. Some medical gentle men present said perhaps the state of the Thames had something - to do with the juryman's illness. We hope Mr. Harker will give the next jury a snore salubrious walk before taking them into court.

ITALIAN AFFAIRS. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE said he was prepared to proceed with the motion of which he had given notice with respect to Italian affairs, as he believed that much good would have been effected by the opinion the of persons untrammelled by office going forth to public. He was prepared to take some degree of responsibility on himself by i proceeding with his motion, 'but this morning a very important event had come to the knowledge of the public. One of the first effects would be to put a stop to the effusion of blood in Italy which every person deplored. Under all cir cumstances, and acting under the advice of persons of great weight, he had determined to abandon his intention for the present, reserving to himself the right of allowing the motion to remain on the paper, and bringing it forward on another occasion if he should see fit. He was induced to take this course in consequence of what he had stated, and he was anxieus tq state that in taking the step he had done he acted entirely on his own respon sibility, and without the slightest influence from either side of the house. Although he was, politically, unconnected with either party in the house, yet he should always be ready to support those noble lords he highly esteemed. He trusted the armistice would be converted into a lasting peace, and her Majesty's Government would not neglect the interests of •this country in any negotiations that might take place for the restoration of peace. (Hear, hear.) He would particularly avoid touching upon any subject that would raise a discussion that might in the slightest degree retard so great an object. The noble lord was pro ceeding to refer to the Italian question, when Lord BROUGHAM rose and said he hoped the noble lord would not enter into a discussion of foreign affairs, as what was said here would spread over Europe, and, there fore, he hoped, the noble lord would abstain from further allusion to the foreign policy of the country. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE regretted that the noble lord . thoug ht that anythinc, that fell from him would endanger the peace of Europe. Tee noble and learned lord must,have greatly misunderstood him. Lord NORMANBY said he would not bind himself not to allude to foreign affairs for weeks ; but this he did say, he did not wish to say anything that would render negotia tions more difficult. Earl GRANVILLE thanked the noble lord for laving withdrawn his motion, but he trusted on another occasion he would feel it his duty to employ the opportunity he pos sessed as a member of the house, of expressing his opinions on foreign policy ) but at the present moment he thought any discussion could only prove injurious to the prospects of peace. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.. The SPEAKEh took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Col. KINGSCOTE took the oaths and his seat on his re. election for West Gloucester, vacant by his appointment to the Royal Household. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered, and the bills were ordered for third reading : Great North of Scotland Railway ; Reading and Hatfield Road ; Kingston-upon-Thames Gas ' • London and North - W e stern Railway (Edgehill to Garston) ; North-Eastern Railway (Nidd Valley Branch) ; and Ringwood, Christ church, and Bournemouth. ROMAN CATHOLICS OF NORTHUMBERLAND. Mr. HUTT presented a petition from a body of Roman Catholic gentlemen, comprising nearly all the Roman Ca tholic landed proprietors of Northumberland, that Roman Catholic charities may no longer be exempted from the jurisdiction of the Charity Commissioners ; but that under certain arrangements, they may be made subject to the pro visions of the Act 16 and 17 Victoria, chapter 137. BRIBERY AT NORWICH. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from the corporation of Norwich, setting forth that bribery had been extensively practised at the late election for that borough, that money was raised by influential persons in London, and forwarded to Norwich for that purpose, and that money was also raised in Norwich, and prayed for a speedy and impartial investigation into all the circumstances, and for, the intro duction of a measure into Parliament for the more effectual suppression of corruption at elections. The hon. member stated that if the inquiry on the petition previously pre sented with reference to the election at Norwich was not " searching and impartial," he would hold himself at liberty to bring the subject forward again, and he added, three-fourths of the corporation were present when the pe tition was agreed to. OATHS OF CATHOLIC MEMBERS. Mr. MAGUIRE asked whether it was intended by Government to introduce any measure for the repeal or.mo dification of the oaths now taken by Catholic members ; and if so, w hen they would be prepared to lay such measure on the table ? Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD said it was not the inten tion of the Government to intro duce any measure on the subject at present, because by reference to what had oc curred in previous sessions, it was not likely that it would be carried at present. It was intended, however, in the next session to bring in a bill for the modification of the oath. LANDLORDS AND TENANTS IN IRELAND. In reply to Mr. BRADY, Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD said the Governjnent would not introduce any bill during the present session for the alteration of the statutes which regulate the ielations be tween landlords and tenants in Ireland, in consequence of the session being so far advanced. However, during the recess, the Irish Government would devote their attention to the subject, and he hoped they would be able to bring forward a bill or bills that would satisfactorily settle the question. MEDICAL CHARITIES. Mr. DAWSON asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of the Government to intro duce a Medical Charities Amendment Act during the pre sent session ' • and, if so, when such a measure would be laid upon the table of the house ? Mr. CARDWELL said the subject was not likely to re ceive a satisfactory settlement this session. COASTING TRADE IN AMERICA. Mr. D. SEYMOUR asked the Vice-President of the Board of Trade whether the American Government regard the trade by sea between New York and California as a coasting trade, when the good ares unshipped at Aspinwall and carried across the Isthmus of Panama to be re-shipped for California ; and, if so, whether it is proposed by her Majesty's Government to address any remonstrance upon the subject to the oovernment at Washington; and also whether another vessel had not been recently seized by the American Government? Mr. WILSON said, with regard to the latter question, it was unfortunately true that such seizure had taken place. A British vessel had been seized by the American Govern ment for carrying a cargo of guano, which was decided to be an infringement of the law. An understanding had been come to betiveen the Governments of this country and the United States when the question was arranged, and it was decided that British ships in America should enjoy the same privileges as were conferred on American vessels in England, with the exception of the coasting trade. cation i That l a tt e r question was one of very extensive signifin the United States, but they were in communication with the Government of that country on the subject, which he hoped would lead to a satisfactory termination of the mat ter in dispute. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. In reply to an Hon. Member, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the time when he should make his financial statement must in a great measure depend on hon. Members themselves. It was the practice top ostpone the financial statement until the army and navy estimates were agreed to, which would necessarily be delayed if hon. members pressed forward their motions. He would suggest that these mo tions should be postponed until the estimates were granted, and then hon. members would have sufficient time to bring them forward. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what plea the Gov sed so fah ernment ad posast poned the introducti on of a bill (promi back 1853), to place Roman Catholic charities under the super intendence of the Charity C o mmissioners, from whose con trol they are now especially t exempt ; and what course they proposed to adopt regarding hem. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he could not state what led to the postponement alluded to, but the present Government had the question under consideration, with a view to re medy the defect complained of. PACKET CONTRACTS. Mr. HOARE said he intended to have asked the Chan cellor of the Exchequer if it was the intention of Government to grant any fresh packet contracts for the conveyance of mails beyond the United Kingdom previous to the report of the committee to be moved for this evening, but after the statement of the right hon. gentleman lie thought it was unnecessary to do so. mit HENRY T. WRBNFORDSLEY. Mr. MAGUIRE moved for a copy of a memorial pre sented to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury by Henry T. Wrenfordsley, of Upper Mount-street, in the City of Dublin, on the 18th of June, 1859. THE ARMISTICE. In to Mr. WALPoLD, Lor d r eply J. RUSSELL said that he believed the announce ment of the armistice between France and Austria, which appeared in the Moniteur, was official. THE BALLOT. Mr. H. BERKELEY said that he would depart from his usual course of bringing forward the question of the ballot, as soon after the appointment of a new Government as possible, but, at the same time, he did not wish to be m isunderstood. Though he would postpone the question for the present, he would bring it on again next s _ h on, and never cease to agitate it so long as he had strengt. SCOTCH EPISCOPAL COMMUNION. Mr. A. ,STEUART called the attention of th Episcopal to facilities ty which a clergyman of the Scotch into the communion may by a private bill obtain adme Church of England, even though he rnayhauv iososiunontenanced what have been condemned by his ONVII_ the Church as danger- Treasury whe ous error ; and asked the First Lord of they he considered a remedy should be billsdevised, either by a Public enactment or regulations regarding private with the o h f o s n o . unusual nature, Lord 1 A LMER ST ON said that be Weed cuss the matter. ECCLESIASTICAL AND CHURCH ESTATES COMMISSIONS. Mr. Alderman COPELAND moved for a return of all monies, paid by. the Ecclesiastical COMinisSioners, or the Church Estates Commissioners, during the years 1855,1856, 1857, and 1858, out of funds administered by them to soli citors, surveyors, and other officers, specifying the names and particulars of each transaction (in continuation of Par liamentary paper, No. 292, of session 1855).—Agreed to. DESPATCH TO THE PRUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. Mr. S. FITZGERALD asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he would lay upon the table of the house a copy of a despatch stated to have been ad dressed to the Prussian Government, or her Majesty's Minister at Berlin, conveying the views of her Majesty's Government as to the course which that power ought to pursue with reference to the war now going on in the North of Italy. Sir C. WOOD made some reply, which was inaudible. MEXICO. Mr. SCHNEIDER called the attention of the house to the present state of Mexico, especially with reference to the outrages which have been committed upon British subjects, and asked the Secretary of State for F orei g n Affairs, what steps had been taken to obtain redress for such outrages. The hon. member entered into a lengthened statement to show the necessity that existed for an inquiry into this subject, and strongly condemned the conduct of Mr. Ot way, the British Consul, in not interfering to protect the lives of British subjects, in the recent disturbance in the country THE WAR. In reply to Mr. B. COCHRANE, and to a question In the early part of the evening, Lord J. RUSSELL said that the despatch of Count Cavour of the 14th of June had not been officially communicated to the Government ; but a despatch had been received from Sir James Hudson, with regard to annexa tion, and the answer was not that her Majesty's Govern ment would not acknowledge that was not in conformity with the wishes of those States interested. The whole object of the despatch which had been sent to Prussia by the Government was to deprecate the extension of the theatre of the war ; and he thought that, under the circumstances, it would not be advisable to publish what had taken ' place. He was happy to see from an article in the lifoni teur that the armistice would leave the dispute between the allies and Austria open to negotiation. [LEFT SPEAR ING.I THE VICTORIA CROSS.

It was green and apparently bilious. I saw her again on the following day but not alone, Dr. Smethurst was present. For the first two or three days there was not not much alteration in appearance. I then sugg ested that bismuth sho uld be given. The motions con tained bile. There was no fever during the whole of the three days. When she vomited there was great straining. I found the medicines I prescribed had no effect in restrain ing the symptoms. I continued to see her for some time. On the 23d the motions began to assume a different appear ance. I saw blood in them. I told Dr. Smethurst that I thought it w as now a proper time to give a more direct astring ent, and I suggested the acetate of lead with opium. The prisoner said he thought it would act just as well without the opium. Botb however, were administered. After talking the matter over again, nitrate of silver was administered. Ipi escribed a third of a grain he said that was rather a large dose, and thought it had better be a quarter. The nitrate was ad ministered, and the prisoner informed me that it occasioned a violent burning pain with increased vomiting and diarrhoea. It was afterwards determined to have additional medical advice, and when I saw Miss Bankes on the 28th she was very much worse. The fluctuations and changes were very decided. She was very much worse at one time than another. These changes would frequently occur in the course of the day. That was the remarkable circum stance I observed during the whole of the time I attended her. In the presence of the prisoner Miss Bankes said she should like some other medical m an sent for. I only he ard her say so once. ' It was five or six days before Dr. Todd was sent for. None of my remedies stopped the progress of the disease. About the 22d I came to the conclusion that her sufferings were to be attributed to some irritant of which we knew nothing. I had not formed that judgment till after I had consulted Dr Julius. I was in the house when the lady died. After death I saw her again. The symptoms exhibited during life are not reconcileable, in my judgment, to any known disease. Whilst I was in the East I had much experience in dysentery. There is a peculiar symptom of that disease only to be found in hot countries. I have never seen that disease. Miss Bankes' was certainly not that disease. She one day complained to me of a seneation similar to that of having a ball in her throat accompanied by a burning pain. On the 30th of April I obtained an evacua tion after she had taken the copper pills. I told the pri soner I wished to examine the evacuations. He then put some into a tumbler and gave it to me. I took it to the surgery and gave it to my assistant, who put it into a bottle and sealed it with my seal. When I obtained it I told the prisoner it was to be examined by the - microscope to see if there were any puss globules which would indicate ulceration of the bowels. It Bli was in consequence of a communication made relative to the examination that the prisoner was given into custody. When he was arrested, the bottles which seemed to have contained medicine, in the apartments, were taken by M'lntyre, the constable, but some bottles were left which apparently contained brandy. I was present at a portion , 'of the post-mortem e xamination. S e rgeant Ballantine — lf antimony an d arsenic had been administered for some time in small doses would it produce the symptoms you have described ? Witness—Yes, it would. Sergeant Ballantine—Did you prescribe either arsenic or antimony ? Witness—No. In answer to further questions, the witness said Dr. Smethurst said the visits of Mrs. Smethurst's sister greatly excited her, and I then said it wouldbe better if she discon tinued her visits for a short time. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—l have never made a post mortem examination of a person dying from the i effects of either arsenic or antimony. When I was first called I thought it was an extraordinary case, and I treated her for bilious diarrhoea. Dr. Julius had previously told me of the lady s symptoms. Dr. Smethurst answered all my questions with the utmost readiness. Dr. Julius and myself partly formed our opinion from what he told us. t At this point of the proceedings a juror was taken ill and had to be removed from the jury box. Dr. Todd, Dr. Copeland, and Mr. Gibson, the surgeon of Newgate, left the court by direction of the learned judge to render their assistance, and for an hour the sitting was suspended. During that time the Lord Chief Baron occupied himself in searching through a number of law books for a precedent, but while his lordship was so engaged Dr. Todd and Mr. Gibson came and informed him that the juror was certainly not in a condition to go on. The Lord Chief Baron, accompanied by the medical gentle men, then left the court to visit the juror, whose name was Thomas Instone. After a few minutes' absence the Lord Chief Baron returned to his seat on the bench, and the oath having been administered to Dr. Copeland, Dr. Todd, and Mr. Gibson, His Lordship, addressing Dr. Copeland, said—Dr. Cope land, have you seen Thomas Instone ? • Dr. Copeland—l have. The Lord Chief Baron—ls he in a condition to discharge the duty of a juryman ? Dr. Copeland—He is totally unfit. Lord Chief Baron—Do you thin k it would be dangerous for him to be put in the box and to serve on a jury in a case that will mo -t certainly not conclude before to-morrow? Dr. Copeland—lt would decidedly be injurious to his health. Lord Chief Baron—But his life ? Dr. Copeland—l cannot say dangerous to his life. Lord Chief Baron—Do you think he is totally unfit to serve ? _ Dr. Cepelaud—Quite so. Lord Chief Baron—How long do you think he will re main so ? Dr. Copeland —Certainly, for two or three days. Dr. Todd, of King's College, was next sworn. Lord Chief Baron—Dr. Todd, you have seen Thomas Instone, do you think his in a fit state to discharge the duty of juryman ? Dr. Todd —Certainly not. Lord Chief Baron —Do you think he will be fit in a short tim D e r ? . Todd—Not to-day. The time when he would be so is doubtful. Lord Chief Baron —Ts there any probability of its being so to•day. D r . Todd—Not to -day, certainly. Lord Chief Baron—Would it be dangerous to his health and life to do so ? Dr. Todd—l think it would. Mr. Gibson, surgeon of Newgate, was then sworn. Lord Chief Baron—You, Mr. Gibson, have seen Thomas Instone. You have been in attendance on him for hall an hour. Mr. Gibson—l have. Lord Chief Baron—Do you think he is in a condition to discharge the duty of a juryman. Mr. Gibson —Certainly not. u t hi n k he would be able to Lord Chief Baron—Do yo do so to-morrow. Mr. Gibson — l shou ld think it would be impossible for him to do so even to-morrow. Lord Chief Baron—You think it would be dangerous to his life and health for him to do so? Mr. Gibson —Highly dangerous. Lord Chief Baron— Gentlemen of the Jury, after this testimony I thick it is my duty to discharge you, and not to keep you assembled. We cannot go on with the trial immediately, or do I think it advisable to do sand -orow, as it certainly would not terminate that day, the con sequence would be that you would have to be kept in cus tody over Sunday, and think it would be better to re-oom mence on Monday. The jury then quitted the box. His Lordship continued—l think we had better fix upon a time for the proceeding of the trial. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine — P erha p s, my lord, you will fix a remote day for the trial. We have a number of medi cal gentlemen present to-day at great inconvenienbeo t t h emse l v es, and it certainly would be out of their power to attend next Monday. Lord Chief Baron—What say you, brother Parry ? Mr. Sergeant Parry—l have consulted my client, and he - is extremely anxious his trial should proceed. - Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Any Monday would be con venient after next Monday. The Lord Chief Baron—Then I must consult my brother judges. I shall adjourn the trial sine die. Mr Sergeant Parry—l think if the trial is postponed. it ought to be s o until the next session. I know my client is very much against such an arrangement, yet I will assent to that. Mr, Sergeant Ballantine—l am ready to concur in such an arrangement as that.

To-day's market was well supplied with several samples of English wheat left o'er from Wednesday ; but the arri vals fresh up were limited. The attendance of millers was small, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home pro duce was heavy, at, in some instances, a slight decline in value compared with last week. Over 11,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand. Even the finest parcels were very dull, and co little was passing in any kind that prices were almost nominal. Floating cargoes of grain were very dull. Although the show of barley was only moderate, the transactions were limited, on former terms. Malt was very dull, but not cheaper. Oats supported previous rates ; but beans and peas were very dull Flour changed hands slowly, at Monday's currency. ARRIVALS TRIS WEEK 9,5201 2 3 970 I I Foreign Wheat. Barley Ma lt. Oats.
