" My dear Sir,—Your note of the 6th instant is duly
to hand. The establishment of a life-boat in the
vicinity of Carmarthen Bay is beyond all praise. I
have placed my name on the list for nO ; but rather
than that the noble and humane object should be de-
feated, you may, if needful, consider me good for £lOO.
Hoping that the resident gentry, who have any
sympathy for poor Jack, will cheerfully follow the
example of the non-resident, and with best wishes, I
am, &c.,

(Signed) ROBERT PARNALL.'
" Rev. W. Williams, Ferryside.

Earl Cawdor has also promised £5O ; Lord Dynevor,
£5O ; and Sir James and Lady Hamilton, £2O. Many
other persons have also subscribed sums of less amount in
aid of the cost of this laudable undertaking, which will
involve an expense of £3OO or £4OO for life-boat, trans-
porting carriage, and boat-house. It is confidently
anticipated that, before another winter has set in, the
Carmarthen Bay life-boat will be on her station.

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES

ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH BRITON,

The screw-steamer North Briton, Capt. Grange,
arrived here last evening with four days' later
news from Canada, and two days' from the United
States. The dates are Quebec, August- 6,, and
New York, August 4.
There is no political intelligence of the least
interest or importance, either from Canada or the
United States. We therefore proceed to. give a
summary of the

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCI

QUEBEC, August 6

THE TIMBER TRADE

If a fortnight ago any one had predicted peace
between France and Austria he would not have found
believers ; but sudden and unexpected as it has been, it
has not given that confidence to commerce which it
otherwise would, had it been based on conditions that
would have satisfied the public mind in Europe.
The export of timber has, been moderate; and this,
added to the peace, which many think of differently and
in a more favourable light than we do, has to a certain
extent had its effect on the market, which has become
firmer in England, and, as a consequence, here also;
there have also been some heavy purchases during the
last six or eight days, which enables us to. quote a much
better feeling than we could have ventured to antichate.
Still we must caution our friends at a distance from
being over sanguine of any great advance, as much
must depend under any circumstances on the extent of
our fall fleet.

White Pine has been sold largely, one sale of nearly
a quarter of a million of feet, average 96. Bay of
Quinte timber a shade under 81d. measured off. Some
goad Ottawa rafts at 6d. to 7-Ad. for 62 to 72 feet, and
for 50 feet 51d., which probably would not have brought
sd. a fortnight ago. One raft of 85 feet average was
sold at 9d. all measured off, but was very fine in quality
and size.

Red Pine has been in very limited request all the
season, and consequently has given way in price very
considerably since May. Rafts of 40 feet may be
quoted at 90. to 10d. ; and one large sale, embracing
some old timber, has been made at prices that have not
been made public.
OAK.—The quantity measured off is large compared
with last season, and, owing to the price in England, but
little is shipped, atd we have seldom seen it so difficult
to realise.

ELM.—The same remark is applicable, only that the
quantity measured is even greater is proportion than
oak.

Tamarac is by no means plentiful ; but so little is
asked for that the supply, small as it is, is ample.
Staves have arrived very freely, and are not in any
demand.

Deals are not so much sought after as they were
earlier. in the season, and both pine and spruce, but
especially the latter, are very difficult of sale.
FREIGHTS.-Our last circular quoted an advance from
275. 6d. to 295. 6d., and we now give 30s. to 30s. 6d. as
the quotation for Liverpool and Greenock, with an
advance of from Is. to 3s. por load to outports for
vessels of suitable size.

Foßrrru, MILL, & Co

MONTREAL, August 5.

MONEY.—The question is daily, we might say hourly,
put : cannot the Government make arrangements to
ship the British coins, which are becoming more and
more a source of annoyance in mercantile transactions,
and procure in return a fresh supply of colonial coin ;
relieving the city trade to the extent of even five thou-
sand dollars would be a boon.

ASHES.—Pot have been in active demand at a shade
higher, notwithstanding an advance in freights, and an
increase in total receipts, on the seven months, amount-
ing to 4,997 barrels. Pearl have also advanced, with but
moderate demand. _ _ _

BARLEY.—OId held at 55c., new is offering at a shade
lower.

BUTTER in demand for the lower ports, and lc. to 2c
higher.

TLouß.—The market has been eased by shipments to
the lower ports and Quebec, and prices are rather
firmer.

PORK.—Prime Mess is in demand at our quotations ;
in other grades, prices nominal.

PEAsE-have fallen from $1 sc. to 95c.
---

MrHEAT.—The harvest promises an-enormous yield,
and speculators look to snaking purchases of new crop
at 80 cents per bushel. _ _

GROCERTiS.—A fair local trade doing. Refined Loaf
Sugar one half cent higher.
FREIGHTS.---Nothing doing in Grains or Flour.
Ashes have been taken during the week at 225. 6d. for
Pot, 255. for Pearl, to Liverpool and Clyde.
BANic. STOCKS are looking up ; so are Montreal
Mining Consols.

THE WEST INDIA MAILS

SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday.
The Parana has arrived with the West India
mails. She left St. Thomas, August 1. Her
specie amounts to upwards of half a million dollars
in silver, and nearly a quarter of a million in gold.
The aramatta is still on the Anegada reef.
The West India islands are healthy.

A revolution had broken out at barthagena.
The liberal party overpowered the guards, and
got the tower into their hands. The revolution,
however, was soon quelled, but a feeling of un-
easiness prevailed amongst the foreign residents.
The governor had promised the British Consul
that order should be preserved.
There was great excitement at Colon about the
gold discoveries in the old Indian burial places,
near the Chirigui Lagnon.. Golden images of the
crocodile, and of forms resembling the Eyptian
Sphinx, have been found there, and brought to
Colon fot sale.

VESSELS AND TONNAGE, &c.—A return to an order
of the honourable the House of Commons shows the
number of vessels and tonnage entered inwards and
outwards at each of the twelve principal ports of the
United Kingdom. The total of vessels entered inward
was 28,259 ;in tons, 7,829,613. The total cleared out
was 25,550; in tons, 7,481,325. The official and de-
clared value of the exports and official value of the
imports, of each of the twelve principal ports of
the United Kingdom during the year 1851, was
£101,695,864. The foregoing statement, embracing a
portion only of the information required by the honour-
able House, is respectfully submitted as the best return
that can be made to their order. The official value,
whether of imports or of exports, is of necessity
wholly excluded from it ; this value, which is obtained
by calculation from certain fixed rates applied to the
quantities of the various commodities, being computed
only on the importations and exportations of the king-
dom at large. The declared value of British and Irish
produce and manufactures exported, being collected
from the merchants' entries is ascertainable for each port,
individually, and is accordingly exhibited. Of the trade
carried on under coasting regulations, between port and
port of the United Kingdom, there is no official record.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT,

-YESTERDAY.

TRIAL OF DR. SMETHUST.

The trial of Dr. Smethurst, for the murder of Isabella
Barkes, was resumed this morning before the Lord Chief

The same learned counsel attended on behalf of the
prosecution and the defence.

The jury; who had been at the London Coffee-house,
were brought into court in charge of the officers, and

The first witness examined was
Dr. Julius; who it will be remembered, attended upon
the deceased lady until her death. He proved that he
first saw the deceased on the 3rd of April, the prisoner

having previously informed him that she was suffering
from diarrhoea and bilious: fever. He prescribed for her,
and a 1 the medicine that was sent was made up by his

'oue of the medicines appeared

to have any effect in checking the distressing symp-

toms that were exhibited by the deceased, and the ease
appeared to him to be a most mysterious one, and at

length a very strong suspicion was enacted in his mind

that some irritant poon was being administered to the

deceased. The prisoner proposed that a certain mixture
which contained prussic avid should be administered to
the deceased, and witness did not think it would do aniy
good; but upon the prisoner saying that he was always
there, and that he, would watch the effects of the met•
-
tine, witness directed the mixture to be made up, and it
was administered to the deceased, but did not appear to
have any efllet. The violent sickness' and retching

continued unabated, and the deceased complained of

burning pains in the mouth and throat and all
down the stomach, and that even the act of swalibwinp;
caused her to vomit. On the Bth of April, other and
more serious symptoms exhibited themselves, and
the deceased appeared to be fast sinking in strength.
None of the medicines that were administered to the
deceased produced the effect he expected, and the same
symptoms continued after taking every one of them.
The witness described the dreadful sufferings of the
unhappy lady during the time he had attended upon
her, and that in consequence of the suspicions which
were aroused in his mind he requested his partner, Dr.
Bird, to see her, but he did not give him any hint of
the suspicions that existed in his mind. Witness was

satisfied in his own mind that some irritant poison was
being administered to the deceased, which entirely counter-
acted the effects of the medicine that he administered
to her, and kept up the symptoms that presented
themselves. Dr. Bird attended upon the deceased from
the 18th of April to the 21st, and on the latter day
witness saw her again, and she then appeared very
much worse, and all the old symptoms remained, with
increased violence. The prisoner suggested that other
medical advice Should be culled in, and on the 28th of
April Dr. Todd came to Richmond and saw the
deceased, and prescribed for her, and expressed some
opinion in reference to the illness of the deceased.
Witness did not make any communication to Dr. Todd
relative to the suspicions he entertained. Dr. Todd
prescribed a pill composed of sulphate of copper and
opium, and witness had adrised previously that the
same description of pill should be given, but the prisoner
objected to the use of sulphate of copper, as, he said, it
sometimes produced symptoms of poison. The witness
also stated that he procured one of the evacuations of the
deceased, and at this time the pills prescribed by Dr. Todd
had not been taken by her. In consequence of what
he afterwards heard from Dr. Taylor, the witness
stated that he applied to a magistrate, and the pri-
soner was taken into castody on Monday the 2nd of
May. The witness also proved that he was not even
aware of the deceased having been visited by her sister
until the 30th of April, and that such- a subject was
never alluded to, and he was never told that the
deceased had made a will. _ Dr. Julius likewise said that
he supposed all along that the prisoner and the deceased
were man. and wife, and had not the slightest
idea that any
,other connexion existed between them,
and he concluded by expressing an opinion that small
doses of any irritant poison would have produced all the
appearances that were presented by the deceased, and
that no such ingredients were contained in any of the
medicines sent from his dispensary for her during her
illness. After the prisoner was in custody upon the
present charge, he wrote to him for the particulars of
all the medicines he had supplied, and he gave him full
information of everything that had been prescribed for
the deceased.
Cross-examined

The prisoner always appeared to
make a frank statement of the symptoms exhibited by
the deceased during her illness, and he described them
correctly according to witness's observation. To the
best of his recollection he was only twice alone with
the deceased, but he would not swear that he was not
alone with her oftener. It was the prisoner who first
suggested that further medical assistance should be
obtained, and witness mentioned the name of his part-
ner, Mr. Bird, who, he told the prisoner, had bad
great experience in cases of diarrhoea in the Cri-
mea. This occurred on the 18th of April, and at
that time witness had formed an opinion that the lady
was in a very precarious state, and that his medicines
were counteracted by some means or other. Ile would
swear positively that he
.gave no intimation to Dr.
Bird of the unfavourable opinion he entertained before he
attended upon the deceased. Dr. Todd came down to
Richmond on the 28th of April by the quarter to ten
train. The prisoner was not aware that he -vas coming
down by this train. He was quite sure that he did not
tell Dr. Todd that none of the medicines he had ad-
ministered had had the slightest effect in repressing the
symptoms that were exhibited by the patient. It was
a very. common practice to administer prussic acid to
stop sickness. The medicines witness administered to
the deceased were chalk mixture eatechu, compound
tincture of camphor, grey powder, and compound
of ipecacuanha powder pills. He also administered
quinine, diluted sulphuric acid, diluted prussic acid,
ether, and gentian. This prussic acid was ad-
ministered under the prisoner's prescription. lie
never prescribed bismuth, or nitrate of silver,
or acetate of lead. Grey powder is a metallic
medicine, being a preparation of mercury, and some of
the others he had mentioned were also of a metallic
character. Witness was
.present when Dr. Taylor was
examined before the magistrates. He never mentioned
that the lady was in a state of pregnancy until the last
trial. Until the post mortem examination he had no
means of ascertaining the fact, and it would have made
no difference in her treatment if he had been aware of
it. Vomiting, was a very common symptom of preg-
nancy, and it was also sometimes accompanied by
diarrhoea. 'Witness had never in his experience heard.
of an instance of a pregnant woman suffering from
severe vomiting and diarrhoea which would not yield to
any ordinary remedies. Ile had never made the post
mortem examination of a body that had died from
arsenic or antimony.

Re-examined.—Witness heard of the symptoms of
vomiting so early as the Bth of April. At this period
the deceased could not have been pregnant longer than
a few days, and at that early period witness never heard
of pregnancy being accompanied by diarrhoea. The
symptoms were also of a totally different character from
those generally exhibited by pregnant women. The
burning sensation of the throat and soreness of the
mouth were quite unusual symptoms connected with
the vomiting in the cases of pregnancy. The fact of the
deceased's pregnancy did not in any way alter his origi-
nal opinion of the case.

The Lord Chief Baron.—Can you a ccount in any other
way than you have mentioned for the symptoms that
presented themselves in this case ?
Dr. Julius.—l cannot.
Dr. Bird, the partner of the last witness, proved that
at the raped of Dr. Julius he visited the deceased lady
on or about the 18th of April. Dr. Julius did not tell i
him before he went that he entertained any suspicion n
reference to the illness. He saw the prisoner, who
told him he thought the deceased had neglected her
bowels for some time, and that they were unloading
themselves by means of the diarrhoea and vomiting.
The witness contirtued Dr. Julius's prescription for two
or three days, aud he then changed the treatment. The
symptoms of the deceased were not in the
.least alle-
viated by any of the medicines that he prescribed ; but,
on the contrary, they went on increasing in violence.
Witness suggested that bismuth should be used, and the
prisoner said he thought it was a medicine not likely
to do any good. Bismuth, acetate of lead and opium,
and nitrate of silver,
were afterwards administered to the
deceased, and the risoner said that the nitrate of silver
had caused a very injurious effect upon the deceased,
and had occasioned a burning pain all through the bowels.
The nitrate of silver was certainly not calculated to
produce such an effect as he described. After witness

had been in attendance upon the deceased for three days
he formed an opinion that something or other was being
administered to the deceased which had the effect of
counteracting the medicine that was given her, and lie

ofd had the thee
Witness had never before heard of sulphate of copier
and opium producing such an effect as- this. On the
`dthe heart, hrat,
30th of April he asked the prisoner for a portion of one
of4'the evacuations of the &ceased, to be examined and
the prisoner gave him about four ounces, which• was
placed in a jar, and sealed, and he then gave it tep his
as4istant, Mr.• Caudle. Another evacuation was: after-
wards procured, and they were numbered 1 ands 2', and
were both sent to Mr. Buzzard, of Great - Marl-
borough-street, to be. examined and analysed.. On
Sunday, the Ist of May, witness and Dr:. Julius
saw Mr. Buzzard, and in consequence of what he
informed them, they- applied to Mr. Penrhyn, the
magistrate, and lie wrote a note to Dr:, Taylor,
which was given to Mr. Buzzard to take to, London.
The next day he saw- the prisoner at Alma 'Villas, and
he remarked that he thought the deceased! was a little
better, and he showed him an evacuation, a portion of
which witness took away with him, and it wmsealed and
labelled and numbered 3. The prisoner WXI6. taken into
custody, on Monday, the 21st of May, and_he.wa.s admit-
ted to bail on his own recognisance. M'intyre, the
officer, accompanied witness to the prisoner's residence,
and handed him some bottles and pill-boxesthat he found
there. Witness on this day several times. gave the de-
ceased arrowroot and brandy, and beef- tea and brandy,
and they always remained on the stonaeli. On the fol-
lowing morning witness was sent for' suddenly to the
house, and f&und the deceased siraing-,, and evidently
dying, but there were no symptoms of vomiting or
diarrhoea. In witness's opinion the death of the de-
ceased was occasioned by the irritation produced by the
administration of some irritant miiiveral poison, adminis-
tered c,mstantly in small doses, and arsenic or anti-
mony would both be calculated to,producc all the symp-
toms that were exhibited by the. deceased. In the con-
dition
of the deceased, antimony would have been a
most improper thing to administer to her, and witness
never did administer any in the medicines that he pre-
pared. The symptoms of the deceased were not attri-
butable to any known natural form of disease. Ile had
a great deal of experience in dysentery in the Crimea,
and he never saw such a case as this.

Cross-axamined.--Witness had been in practice far
five years. All his patients in the Crimea were men.
He was never present at a post-mortem examination
when the death arose ftom the administration of arsenic
in small doses. Witness had entirely formed the opinion
that the deceased was the subject of slow arsenical
poisoning, but Dr, Julius first suggested the probability
of this being the ease. Corrosive sublimate would have
produced the same results and symptoms as appeared in
this case. Salivation would not necessarily be produced
by the administration of corrosive sublimate. The prisoner
gave him a regular account of the symptoms of the de-
ceased every day. All the jars that had been sealed up
and numbered were eventually sent to Dr. Taylor to be ex-
amined. The witness then detailed the particulars of the
different medicines that he prescribed for the deceased,
and the quantities of the several ingredients of which
they were composed. Witness's firm purchased their
drugs of Messrs. Herron and Co., of Bishopsgatostreet.
The prisoner was particularly anxious that witness
should be present at the consultation with Dr. Tood,
but he was prevented from doing so by another engage-
ment. Witness had arrived at the unfavourable con-
elusion he had come to in reference to the case partly
from Isis own observation and partly from what the
prisoner told him of the nature of the symptoms.
By the Court : The prisoner did not tell him of any
other symptoms than those he observed himself.

Mr. Caudle, the assistant to Messrs Julius and Bird,
deposed that he acted in that capacity for about a year
and a-half, and he had preKiously studied medicine. lie
made up the whole of the'inedicines that were pre-
scribed for the deceased. He then stated the diffe-

rent ingredients that were used, and stated posi-
tively that there was no arsenic or antimony in any
of the medicines that were prepared by him. In one
of the prescriptions given by the prisoner, and which
contained prussic acid, he thought the quantity ordered
was very large, and he felt nervous, and reduced the
strength. The way he did this was by using the
prussic
.acid of the Pharmacopoeia, instead of that
of Scheel's strength, which the prisoner had ordered.
they had none of the latter in the dispensary at the time,
but he could easily have procured it, but he preferred
using the other, which was weaker. On the 29th of
April, in the morning, Dr. Julius brought something to
the surgery in a bottle, and gave it to the witness, and
he locked it up in a cupboard. The next day; Dr.
Bird brought him another mixture in a tumbler, and
witness placed it in a clean tumbler, and these
were both afterwards given to young *Mr. Julius
to take to Mr. Buzzard. On Monday, witness sent
the nurse Chetwood to Alma Villas, and be took
some hydrate of magnesia there for the deceased. Hy-
drate of magnesia was an antidote for arsenic. There
was antimony, and some preparations of arsenic in the
surgery, bnt all poisons were kept. locked up in a cup-
board by themselves, and the antimony was in a very
peculiar bottle, and placed on a high shelf. After the
death of the deceased, he gave samples of all the ingre-
dients that he had used in preparing the different medi-
cines for the deceased, in order that they might be
analysed by Dr. Taylor.
