In consequence of the paragraph appearing in some of the morning papers that Dr. Thomas Smethurst (who was convicted of the murder of Isabella Bankes, at Rich mond, at the Central Criminal Court, in August last), was to be examined here, the court was crowded by per sons anxious to see the prisoner, who now stood charged with bigamy—the government having discharged him for the crime of murder; but a sort of habeas corpus was issued for his attendance at this court. Shortly after twelve o'clock Dr. Smethurst entered the court in custody of Mr. Keene, the governor of Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and Gell, one of the warders. The prisoner looked very haggard in appearance, and seemed to suffer anxiety from the proceedings about to be produced against him. As soon as he took his posi tion in the dock, he recognised his brother, who has been very attentive to him since his incarceration. There was also a number of gentlemen connected with the medical profession in the court. Mr. Clarke, instructed by Mr. Pollard, from the Treasury, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Robin son, solicitor, of Half-Moon-street, for the prisoner. Mr. Clarke, in introducing the case to his worship, said that it might be in his recollection that the prisoner was tried and convicted in August last, at the Central Criminal Court, for the murder of Isabella Banks, to whom he got married a short time previous. For special reasons the Crown had not ordered the sentence to be carried into effect; but now the prisoner was charged with bigamy. He should be able to show that he was a married man when he married Miss Bankes, and from suck evidence it would be the duty of his worship to commit the prisoner for trial. Mr. William Easter, parish clerk: of St. Mark's, Kennington, was the first witness called. He pro duced the marriage register of 1828, from which it appeared that on the 10th of April in that year, Mr. Thomas Smethurst was married to Mary Durham. He identified the prisoner as that man. Mr. Charles Laporte—l reside at No. 24, High street, Bloomsbury. lam a photographic artist. I knew the prisoner in 1828. On the 10th of April that year he married Mary Durham, a relative of mine, and I recognise his signature to the register. Mr. Combe—Did you see him sign it ? Witness—No, sir ; but I am well acquainted with his handwriting. Mr. Easter.—The entry is a marriage between Thos. Smethurst and Mary Durham on the 10th of April, 1828. Mr. Combe.—llas anybody seen that female since ? Mr. Laporte Green.—Yes, sir, I saw her in London about eighteen months ago, and I know she is now alive. Mr. Combo.—Prisoner, have you any questions to ask of these witnesses ? Mr. Robinson.—No, sir. Mr. Combe (to witness).—When did you.last see Mrs. Smethurst ? Witness.—About a fortnight after Dr. Smethurst was taken into custody for the murder. Mr. Combe.—Where did you see her ? Witness. —At a house in Rifle-terrace, Bayswater. I believe it is No. 6. Joseph Smith—This witness is mistaken as to the number of the house. I am the landlord of No. 4, Rifle-terrace, Bayswater, where the prisoner and my sweetheart boarded and lodged up to 1858. Miss Isabella Bankes lodged there, but she left on the 29th of November, 1858. The prisoner did not leave till the 12th of December, and his wife remained till June. I don't know where she went to. Mr. Combe—Prisoner, do you wish to ask this wit ness any questions ? Mr. Robinson—No, sir. James Spee—l am clerk to the church of West Bat tersea. I produce the register of marriages for the yea r 1857. On the 9th of December that year is an entry of a marriage between Thomas Smethurst and Isabella Bankes. I was a witness to the ceremony, and I re cognise the prisoner. Mr. Clerk—Are you sure the prisoner is that man ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Robinson said that as he could not doubt but that his Worship would send the case to another tribunal, he should advise Dr. Smethurst to reserye his defence. At the same time, he might say that, as probably Dr. Smethurst would receive a pardon in the case on which he was at present detained, he trusted the magistrate would not be indisposed to take bail, which he could offer, and which would be of the most respectable, re sponsible, and undeniable kind. Mr. Combe—The prisoner has not been pardoned, has he ? Mr. Robinson—No, not yet. Mr. Combe—Then I may suggest that when the par don is pronounced will be the proper time to apply for bail in this case. The prisoner is brought before me on a writ of habeas corpus, and I have no power. I suppose (addressing Mr. Keene, the Governor of Horsemonger lane Gaol, who had brought up the prisoner) that no amount of bail I could take would release the prisoner from custody ? Mr. Keene—Certainly not, sir. Mr. Robert Graham Maclntyre, inspector of the Richmond police, was called, and said he apprehended the prisoner on the 2nd of May on another charge. He found upon him a letter which he produced. (This was the letter addressed by Smethurst to his wife, commenc ing, " My Dear Mary," and informing her that a medical engagement kept him away from home.) Mr. Laporte was recalled, and identified the hand writing as that of Dr. Smethurst. Mr. Combe then committed the prisoner for trial at the Old Bailey Sessions. Several police officers then surrounded the prisoner for the purpose of removing bim. He smiled at the great anxiety they manifested in his behalf, and the Court having been cleared, he was conveyed to Horse monger-lane Gaol. TERMINATION OF THE STRIKE. At length there seems a reasonable prospect that the unfortunate strike in the building trade is likely to terminate. For nearly sixteen weeks the workmen and their families have borne, if not with cheerfulness, at least with dignity, all the privations consequent upon their loss of inc6me. The different associated trades have supported the men on strike and locked-out, as far as their means allowed, but considerable as their con tributions have been, when they came to be divided among some six thousand men, the majority of whom have wives and children, the amount was hardly sufficient to avert starvation. The sufferings of many have been very great, and the police courts have testified how great must have been their privations, when to obtain food for their families they had to pawn, not only their clothes and furniture, but also their tools. The men have at length given in, that is to say, they have with drawn the demand of ten hours' pay for nine hours' work ; and they have farther declared the strike at Messrs. Trollope's, the original cause of the disunion, to be at an end. All that they now ask is that the masters, on their part, shall withdraw the declaration, or "document" as it is termed. When the masters com bine, with wealth and capital to back them, they are more than a match for the men. Let them now, there fore show some little consideration for the artisans, and not drive them to desperation, which they will do if they adhere strictly to the letter of their first demands. More than six weeks ago the United Master Builders agreed almost entirely to the terms now proposed by the men ; but then the men would not consent to abandon the strike at Messrs. Trollope's ; if they had done so all the shops by this time would have been in full operation. The men have now made this concession, and for their own sakes the masters should not pursue the advantage which they have obtained. Many of the masters, it is well known, are most anxious that the strike should terminate, but there are some few influential builders, who, having very large resources at their command, would drive the men, and along with them the small masters, to the wall, and obtain, through the means of their sufferings, absolute and complete concession to all their demands. With one or two ex ceptions during the long lock-out hardly a man has been betrayed, either with direct or indirect intimidation, neither have they been brought up before the magi strates for any breach of the law. The men struck for what they probably most erroneously thought was a fair demand. The masters refused it, and locked out the men. After sixteen weeks' warfare the men have ac knowledged themselves practically beaten, and are wil ling to return to the same state of things as before the strike and the lock-out. The moral influence which the masters have obtained will be quite sufficient to prevent a recurrence of anything like a general strike for years to come. The men have in the short space spent all their savings of past years, and they will, it may be relied on, hesitate a long time ere they lend them selves to such proceedings again. The masters can therefore afford to be generous. THE FRENCH RIFLED CAN army ordnance authorities have just completed in the ateliers de preci sion a new field piece, which was taken out to be tried for the first time on Tuesday. It is stated to be an American invention. The gun is of wrought iron, loads at the breech, and is of considerable size, requiring six horses to draw it. Galignani's Messenger says :—" We regret to state that Mr. Mitchell, the originator of the Zoological Gardens in the Regent's Park, and the inventor of the aquarium, who was intrusted in Paris with the organisa tion of the grounds belonging to the Societe d'Acelima tion, committed suicide, at his residence at Neuilly, on Thursday night. The motive for this melancholy act has not transpired." THE PORT OF GLASGOW.—The rapidly and steadily increasing trade of the port of Glasgow has called for an augmentation to the number of officers. We un derstand the indoor :department is to be increased by two clerks, and that an improved scale of salaries has been awarded to the staff ; and also that the patrol and tide department is to have additional officers.—Civil Service Gazette. CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT.—IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS.—CHEVALIER v. MURRILL.—The plaintiff in this case, which was heard on Friday, is a cabinet maker, and the defendant carries on business in Isling ton, and the action was brought to recover the sum of £5 for a forged £5 Bank of England note, which the plaintiff had received from the defendant. Mr. Beard attended for the plaintiff, and Mr. Reed for the defence. The facts were that the plaintiff got change from the defendant for a cheque for £l7, and amongst the change received the forged note in question. The defendant's solicitor contended that the plaintiff had not used due caution, and that the verdict should be for the defendant. His Honour—There is no contradiction that this was the note the plaintiff received, and if publicans will act as bankers, they must put up with the consequences. They are not obliged to give change, and it behoves them to be cautious as to who they receive notes from.— Verdict for plaintiff. THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.--On Friday preparations were commenced at the Baker-street Bazaar, for the purpose of carrying out the contem plated improvements for the ensuing cattle show of the Smithfield club, appointed to be held on the 6th, 7th, Bth, and 9th of December. The entries are so numer ous that the whole western wing of the basement area under the implement galleries, where the working models of agricultural machinery are usually exhibited, will be this year appropriated to the exhibition of stock. The Prince Consort, the Dukes of Rutland, Leeds, Bedford, and Richmond ; the Earls of Hardwicke, Yarborough, Spencer, Leicester, and Feversham ; the Marquises of Huntly and Westminster ; Lords Berners, Portman, Ducie, &c., are amongst the competitors in the cattle and sheep classes ; and Lord Radnor has again entered the lists in contention with the Prince Consort as an exhibitor of pigs. Strong hopes are expressed that hor Majesty, should the Court be in town or at Windsor at the time, will this year visit the cattle show. GRATITUDE OF A CREW SATED FROM SHIPWRECK. —The following communication has been addressed to the Hon. Secretary of the Bideford branch of the Royal National Life-boat Institution :—" Sir, we beg to address you on the subject of the late disastrous gale on this coast. Having sailed from Llanelly on the 30th Oct. on board the brig North Eske, of Sunderland, laden with coals, bound to Havre de Grace, we en countered on the night of the Ist Nov., a most terrific gale from the N.N.West, and were driven on the north tail of Bideford bar. A most tremendous sea was running at the time, which completely broke over the ship, carrying away everything on deck. The crew were obliged to take to the rigging for the safety of their lives, and remained in the rigging until daylight the following morning, when the life-boat came alongside the wreck, with a gallant crew, consisting of William Hare, James Smallridge, Samuel Guard, James Cora, Thomas Slade, John Bramed, and James Kelly, and took the crew of the brig, consisting of six persons, from the wreck, and landed them safely on the beach. We were taken to the light-house, and received great kindness from Mr. Lamping, the light-house keeper. At the time we were rescued, there was a tremendous sea and heavy gale, and had it not been for the timely arrival of the life-boat, the whole of the crew must have p er i s h e d . W e f ee l i t our d u t y th u s publicly to acknowledge the service rendered to us by the life ' boat and her crew, to whose heroic services, under Divine Providence, we are indebted for our lives.— Signed, John Chipps, master; William Smith, mate. Braurton, North Devon, Nov, 8, 185'J." MUSICAL, DRAMATIC, LITERARY AND ARTISTIC GOSSIP. The Campbell Minstrels have succeeded to the Christy Minstrels at St. James's Hall, and amuse the audience with the same success. The Era says a new burlesque is in active preparation at the Soho Theatre, entitled " Damon and Pythias, or the Power of Love," by F. W. Burnot, Esq. A sale is a unced to take place next week of the library of the lan" Mr. Biggs, the projector, and proprie tor for many years, of the Family Herald. An unusually prolific and active season, says the Critic, is dawning on the book trade. More books aro " forthcoming" than have been known for many years at this season. The past week has been fully occupied in preparation, and the Row has therefore mot been so busy in appearance as in fact. Mr. Malcolm Kerr, judge of the City:Sheriff's Court, has decided that, unless the word " press" be written on the corrected proof sent to the printer to print the copies from, he (the printer) has no business to print from it, and consequently no right to reco►er his claim for the printing. The dictum is complained of as bad in law and unjust in principle and practice. Mrs. Catherine Crowe, whose strange books and eccentric career will be remembered by our (Critic) readers, announces a new work (Newby), entitled. " Spiritualism and the Age we Live In." The story of how Mrs, Crowe was imposed upon in gathering inci dents for her "Night Side of Nature" we may find occasion to tell some day. Meantime we may ask for good authority for stories and illustrations to be given in the new book. The Row has subscrilied largely to "Haste to the Rescue," a little book by Mrs. Charles W. (who is Mrs. Charles W. ?) with a preface by the author of "English Hearts and English Hands." It moves slowly, however, yet. Lord Macaulay has two volumes more of his " His tory of England" nearly ready for the press ; but we believe that they will not be published this season. The great care which the noble author bestows on the work before it finally leaves his hands necessitates some delay. Mr. James Augustus St. John is engaged on " A His tory of England," which, from peculiar sources of infor mation he has, will throw much new light over the era previous to the Conquest. The work will be in six or seven volumes, and published separately, the best of which may be expected in the spring. The trustees of the National Portrait Gallery, says the Town Talker of the Illustrated News, will not buy Sir Thomas Lawrence's portrait of Lord Brougham. Brougham is alive. His lordship must be in his grave ten years before his portrait is purchased. But mark the seeing a-head. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, who loves and understands British portraiture, has bought what the nation would not buy. Lawrence's portrait of Brougham is now one of the many treasures of ducal Clumber. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will and three codicils of General Sir Robert Henry Cunliffe, Kt. and Bart., C. 8., of Acton-park, Denbighshire, were proved in Lon don in the principal registry of the Court of Probate, on the 4th of November, by Charles Townshend and John Penton Gubbins, Esqrs., two of the executors, appointed for Great Britain and Ireland ; the other executor, Brooke Cunliffe, Esq., the brother, having a power reserved to him to prove hereafter. Colonel James Dulcet Parsons, of the East India Company Bengal Service, is the executor appointed for the property and effects in India. The per sonalty in India was sworn under £60,000. He has de vised his estate at Acton-park, and all property and estates purchased by him, as well as the estates he inherited from his father, to his grandson, Robert Alfred Cun liffe, who succeeds to the baronetcy, aid is the eldest son of his deceased eldest son; and after making pro vision for his numerous family and the children of his deceased eldest son, he bequeaths the residue of his estates, both real and personal, to this said grandson, Sir Robert Alfred Cunliffe, Bart. Ho leaves to his brother and to his servant, Mrs. Webb, a legacy of £lOO each, for the great care and attention they showed him during his protracted illness. The will and first codicil were made in 1857, the second codicil in 1858, and the last codicil on the 18th August, 1859.—The will of William Caldwell Roscoe, Esq., formerly of Dolguy, near Machynllett, Montgomeryshire, but late of Tyddyn Helen, Carnarvonshire, was administered to by his relict, who is the sole legatee, the executors, F. J. Roscoe and R. H. Hutton, Esqrs., having resigned.— The will and codicil of William St. Quintin, Esq., late of Scampston Hall, Yorkshire, has just been adminis tered to in the London Court of Probate, the personalty sworn under £25,000 The executors are Thomas W.

VOLUNTEER CORPS AT THE ANTIPODES.—In a brief note to our readers in our last issue, we announced that his Excellency and his advisers have intrusted to Cap tain Balneavis the raising of a Volunteer Artillery Corps, in the ranks of which we urged civilians also to enrol themselves. This corps is to consist of 100 men, who will be immediately put through a course of artillery practice, and, in part, employed in the erection of batteries and earthworks on the headlands commanding and guarding the entrance to Auck land Harbour. Already more than one-fourth of the required number have volunteered; and as the greater portion, both of those who have already joined the corps, and of those who are expected to join, are " old 58th men"—all previously trained artillerists, we may safely predict that in a very short time we shall have a valuable addition to our former scanty means of defence against privateering attacks. We have also much pleasure in sating that many fresh volunteers are joining the rifle corps already formed ; we shall not be surprised to learn that this branch of our volun teer service numbers 300 men—all having an actual interest in the preservation of the peace and safety of the province. In the Wangarie and Mangawai district, too, the greatest readiness is evinced by the able-bodied settlers to form themselves into a rifle brigade, so soon as Lieutenant Moir is armed by the general Government with the necessary powers for that purpose. Many- of these settlers arc old soldiers, but yet in the prime of life, and, still more, are hardy colonists who learnt to handle the gun as well as the axe in the woods of Nova Scotia. It is expected that a body of 300 volunteers could very soon be raised in these districts, and they could be easily so disposed of as to protect both coasts from the landing of a hostile force. These facts speak well for the patriotism of our settlers, and show that they fully share in the sentiments of the people of England and the colonists of Australia that the volunteer system is far preferable to having the Militia called out. They also show that the people of Auckland are anxious to co operate with the Government in being prepared before hearains e d o t u o t me of t t h t e h c e exigencies n swhichof ema wary a n t o a w ny ra i g no in n g ie i n t Europe,—Now Zealander, August 6. [ADVERTIIIMMINT.I FRIENDLY SOCIETY REVELATIONS. A meeting of the officers and friends of the Royal Philan thropictohfthe proc e e d in g s , society, So ciet y na said Finch -s t reet. t l rdte:oatni tThehe Mondaypres e nt Secretary, i h on e p: o nw ffi lgA ce called to inquire into certain false and malicious state ments which had been circulated with the view of injuring the society. Placards had emanated from another society, and were two in number. The follow ing are the main facts of the first case as set forth in the placard. Michael McHugh entered his father-in-law as a member of the Philanthropic Society; and accord ing to the rules was entitled to the sum of £3 in twenty six weeks from the time of his entrance. The father in-law died on the very day twenty-six weeks after he had entered the society. The son-in-law thinking himself entitled to the funeral allowance, made application to the secretary, who told him that he was not entitled to the allowance, as his father-in-law was two days short of being a half member. Such was the subject of the first document, to which was appended the son-in-law's mark. There was also a postscript to the effect that, after belonging to the society for some twelve or thirteen years, not one penny was received on the present occasion. Th e secretary, after reading the placard, proceeded to ex plain how the case really stood, which, he said, was as follows :--The father-in-law, J. Hutt, was entered into the society three years ago by his son, and was again entered by the daughter some twenty weeks previous to his death. The claim of the son being a just one, was paid ; that of the daughter not being valid, was refused. He produced the books of the society, by which it was apparent that the twenty-six weeks were not completed at the time of Hutt's death. The second placard related to Barbara M'Coombe, and bore her mark. It stated that the society had refused to pay a just claim of £l2, giving instead only £6. Mrs. M'Coombe was present at the meeting, and, in reply to the secretary, most distinctly denied having affixed her mark to the document, and added that the one read to her was of quite a different nature. The secretary said that by the entry made at the time of the man's entrance his age would, at his death, be fifty, in which case £6 was the proper allowance. Even now, if sufficient evidence could be brought to show that the man was younger, he was quite willing to pay the balance. He thought it was most unjust and dishonest for any society to take advan tage of a woman's ignorance by making her sign that which she did not believe. The placards having been published he thought it but justice to the society and the public that the refutation should be published also. He thought that such infamous documents could only have originated from spite, and he would warn the public to be on their guard against any society which had recourse to such schemes for blackening the character of an honest society like the present. After some further dis cussion, a refutation of the placards was drawn up, signed by Barbara M'Coombe ; after which the meeting separated. nl6 MR. RAaBY.—Mr. John S. Rarey has the honour to announce to the nobility, clergy, gentry, and in habitants of Liverpool and vicinity that he has made arrangements to give a practical and demonstrative Exhibition of his System of Subduing Wild and Vicious Horses, on l'uesday, November 22nd, at Hengkr's Grand Cirque Trariete, Dale-street, he having made arrangements with Mr. Hengler for the use of the same. The Cirque, which is capable of accommodating a large number of persons, will be found to be admirably adapted for the occasion ; it is fitted up with reserved and other seats, arranged in the best possible manner, with a due regard to the comfort and convenience of those Ladies and Gentlemen who may honour Mr. Rarey's performance with their presence. The System : The almost universal verdict of approval with which the excellence and humanity of Mr. Rarey's system of taming horses has been greeted by the public press and first horsemen of this and every other country he has yet visited, renders it superfluous to enlarge upon the topic ; suffice it to say, as a conclusive proof of the great and marked interest it has excited in the highest quarters, and also in the minds of all thinking and rational men; he has had the honour of giving his representations be fore all the principal courts of Europe, winning from all the great European powers the same high approbation that he has received in this country. Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, upon witnessing Mr. Rarey's perform ance, was so impressed by the 'level, natural, and perfectly humane manner in which the horse was treated, as to command the repetition of Mr. Rarey's exhibition a fourth time. The Character of Hr. Rarey's Exhibitions Unlike any exhibitions ever given to the public, there is no prepared show, no display of tricks, but, on the con trary, it is a genuine demonstration of the triumph of in tellect over brute force. The entirely untrained horse, in its wild and most savage state, is brought before the public without any preliminary preparation, not even the operator knowing what the character of his subject will be until brought before him, thus imparting the greatest interest and originality to each performance, by putting to the severest test the judgment and skill of the operator. The Lecture : Mr. Rarey will, in the course of his lecture, give his experience with some of the most notorious horses that he has yet handled, giving a description of the taming of Cruiser; he will also give an explanation of his former treatment, and its effect upon his character, in comparison with the process adopted by him, plainly showing why he was then savage and now tame, and how the same result may be produced upon any horse of like character. Mr. Rarey will also give a description of the physical and mental nature of the horse—contrasting the brutal and inhuman system of " breaking," hitherto in vogue, with his own more gentle, persuasive, and intelligent method ; gentle, because brute force is utterly ignored—persuasive, because the horse's reason is appealed to—and intelligent, because the intellect is cultivated, and thereby expanded, giving to the horse increased capacity to understand and enter into the feelings of his master—man. To which appeal (if pro perly made) we have ample evidence to prove that the horse will respond ; for when once his affection is gained, he remains to the close of his life your firm friend and faithful servant. Subject for Tuesday's Perform ance : Mr. rtarey has made arrangements for securing the mbst vicious horse that can be found in Liverpool or its vicinity, but, at the same time, he will be obliged to any gentlemen who will kindly send to Lucas's Reposi tory any information relative to savage horses they may happen to possess, as the worst that can be found will be the most satisfactory to Mr. Rarey, and a fit subject on which to demonstrate his power of taming the most dangerous and vicious horse.

ELLIS'S UNIVERSAL WASHING MACHINE AND CHURN, • Is the simplest invention ever introduced to the Public. It is no moro liable to derangement, and occupies little inure room than an ordinary Wash-tub. It does no injury to the most de licate fabrics and effectially washes every description of clothes. With its aid a person can do as much work in three hours as in a whole day without it, six or scven shirts being well washed in eight or ten minutes. It supplies a want long felt, especially by small families, owing to its great cheapness, portability, and requiring so little room. These advantages, combined with its perfect simplicity and efficiency, will render it a really desirable and useful article in every household. This Machine is admirably adapted for a Churn. It possesses an agitating action peculiarly favourable to the formation of Butter, and, on this account, will perform the proeess of chanting considerably quicker than most Churns new in use. Its simple construction, ease of working, and cheapness, are also grounds of especial and strong recommendation. N.B.—Although there is no dVerence in the Machines, be tween those to be used for Churning and those for Wu-shiny, yet it is not expected, on the score of cleanliness, bhat the same Machine will be used for both purposes. FULL DIRPCTIONS FOR USING ARE ATTACIIFD TO EACH MACHINE. T R Y I T . SIZES AND PRICES, &c. 11 ,00 1 1 , 1 0 0 1 i NOVEMBER 14, 1859. NORTHERN DAILY TIMES
