Advic-s have been received from Constantinople

Th. Divan has decided that reasons of state re-
quire the presence of the Sultan in Egypt, and he
will therefore leave for that country immediately
after the Mtes of the Baleen. Great and magnifi-
ant preparations are being made for his journey. It
is said that the Sultan will subsequently visit Can li
-
dia, where the popular agitation has rendered fresh
reinforcements necessary. In the Danubian Princi-
palities the new■ of the victories gained by the
Allies has produced much enthusiasm among the
people. The l'orte is is fear of demonstrations in
favour of a complete union. The last note has still
mote increased existing difficulties. France has
merely accepted Prince Labanoff ad referendum as
ambassador of Russia at Constantinople.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE EN.PREFE

Sin,—A portion of the press abounds at the pre-
sent moment with lettere and medical opinion. respecting
limethurt's as tams the judge and blaming the jury for their
verdict. Sorely Smethurst has had ea fair a trial as any
Englishman can expect by the laws of hie country, sad I
hold that under the evidence adduced no man has acted
more guiltily than be has. Would any one be safe if it were
allowed for on. person to act solely aa doctor, alum see
lawyer, sad in the event of the person dying, and the lest of
so poison being found in the body, be •ufiiciest to essaarate
kiln by law, although the highest medical teatimosy be sat
op to prove him guilty I, Such would, indeed, be a premium
for scientific murder. I say that be has acted in as guilty a
manner es it in possible for man to set. Where will you Sod
• medical man is prectice who will attend him wife in •
serious illness? Hs le aware that he may act in • nervous
manner, sad that dimes are better capable of prescribing. A
DWI*, too, le immediately had, for no one person can attend
to a sick chamber night and day whhott neglecting the
wants of the patient in some way; and where id the Englielre
man who would sot bays one, whether his means will admit
of it or not in cams of lib or death

I can only add, that it Palmer was guilty, I think
Smethurst equally so.—l am, Ice.,

THE SMETHURST TRIAL.

Sin,—There really seems to be no end to the

nearly .11 that have been published, and should not have

lished by one of your contemporaries yesterday, from "H.

Fowler's Solution of Arsenic being used In cases
of diabase, and suggesting that it might have been
given by Dr. Julius or Dr. Todd. He admits
that it may Lee " permeated the whole system—
performing its deadly work sad leaving no treat behind it."
Now, as the prisoner waa in all probability swan of the
effect of this preparation, I think those who cry out againtit
the verdict, simply because no weenie was found
in the body, must learn to attach some import-
awe to the other portions of the evldemos. All
the evidence that use possible, or was thought neeeseary,
was collected befog° the trial by the counsel for the defence,
sad failed to convince an English jury of the inn soon of
the prisoner. Is the ear, then, to be triad again by every
doctor and chemist, or, indeed, by the corresponding part of
the country If so, trial by jury must cease to exist. I would
also remark, that very few ask for se satire acquittal; they

TO THE EDITOR OP ERR EXPRESS.

Ste,—A point which might be urged in favour of
Thomas Smethurst appears to me to have been altogether
overlooked, namely, the late period at which Isetella Blokes
made her will-48 hours before her death.

The object for which Smethurst is supposed to have mur-
dered his mist's., was to obtain her property ; that property
could only devolve to him by a legal document in his favour
executed by her. To induce her to do so, be must count upon
the influence he exercised over her mind and her effectious.
I ask any candid paws, whether it is not ristaral that he
should have sacertaieed that point in the first instate., and
that whether before he embarked in a course of guilty pro.
eeeilinge, be would not have secured the stake fur which he
wee about to play so desperate a game Y Whereas, by the
operatics of she accusation se it now stands he folly com-
mitted himself to crime Wore he tried the experiment by
which alone he could have been benefited.

Its subjected himself to &foss, not onlY by refusal but by
the interpositem of death, erkili h wu momentarily expected.

THE Nir CREDIT MODILDUL

Ihe inauguration of the subscription for the new
"General Society of Industrial and Commercial
Credit "at Paris may render interesting some de-
tails respecting the objects of the undertaking. The
duration of the society is fixed in the statutes at 30
years. The society is authorised to discount com-
mercial bills payable in France and abroad, to make
advances on warrants for goods, issued in conformity
with the law of the 28th of May, 1858, and on com-
mercial instruments generally ; to make advances
on French funds and the shares and bonds of indus-
trial undertakings to the extent of two-
thirds of the value in the market; but these
loans are not to be for a longer period
than 90 days, nor to exceed in amount one-fifth of the
paid-up capital phis one-half of the reserved food.
Advances may be made to French industrial
companies for a period of six months, with a like
limitation as to the aggregate amount- The society
may make and receive payments of all kinds at home
and abroad, open account currents, and execute com-
mission business in stocks and shares. Subject to
the authorisation of the Minister of Finance, it may

open for account of third parties subscriptions to
publie loans and industrial undertakings. As an
important feature we notice that the society may
resolve, in the shape of current accounts, a sum
equal to 160 per cent. of its paid-up capital and
reserved fund, and may allow interest upon =eh
balances, the aggregate amount of which may be
extended, with the approbation of the government.
The aggregate of deposits, bills current, end
paper in circulation bearing the Society's endorse-
ment is never to exceed six times the amount of paid-
up ital and reserved land. The capital is fixed at
60, 11,000 E, or 2,400,0001., in 120,000 shares of
600 f., oe 201. each. In the first instance, 80,000
shares, representing 1,600,000/., are to be issued, and
until these shall have been taken up and the first
payment of 61. per share made thereupon, the society
will not be definitively constituted. The liability of
the shareholders is limited to the amount of the
shares held. The directors are to be twenty-two in
number, and the President is to be named by the
Emperor.
