_REMOVAL OF DR. SMETHUR ST.
(THIS DAY.)

MA RLBOROUGII-STREET.

THAMES.

This morning at half-past ten o'clock Dr. Smethurst was
removed in a cab by Mr. Keene, the Governor of the Gaol,
from llersemonger-lane to Newgate, there to await his trial
at the forthcoming sessions of the Central Criminal Court
for bigamy in intermarrying with Isabella Bankes, whose
alleged murder at Richmond and the peculiar circumstances
attendant thereon has created such an extraordinary sensa-
tion in the legal and scientific world. Dr. Smethurst was
dressed in black, with a dark olive-green overcoat, and his
looks have much improved since the announcement of his
free pardon. The trial will probably take place on Wed—
nesday, the 30th (to-morrow week) ; and rumour assigns
Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Sleigh as the counsel for
the defence.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(7111IS I)__4l',_)

SHOPLIPTING.—EIIen Jones, a rather:tall female, aged 22,
was charged by Inspector Pothers, of the E division, with
shoplifting as follows :
Mr. Henry Mark, draper, &c., of 104, Tottenham-court-
road, said that on the previous evening, between five and
six, he was sitting in his parlour commanding a view of the
shop, when he saw one of his assistants showing the pri-
soner and another female some mantles, and while his
young man's back was turned to get another style of mantle,
at the prisoner's request, he saw the prisoner take from the
counter the dress piece produced, measuring 15 yards and
of the value of 55., and secrete It under her dress. He then
told his son to go fur a constable and lie would keep the
females in conversation till he came back. He then
spoke to the prisoner, and while doing so, observing
that she was very anxious to get away, he asked
her for the article she had taken from the
counter, and which she had put under her clothes. She
denied having taken anything, and seemed alarmed at the
idea of his touching her to see if she had. The constable
then coming in, he gave the prisoner in charge, when she
said she would not be searched there, but .would be searched
by the female searcher at the station house. She was then
taken by the constable, and on the way to the station
dropped the drels piece, which was observed by the appren-
tice, who followed her to the station-house.

Daniel Dwyer, apprentice to Mr. Mark, provel seeing
the dress piece fall from the prisoner.
Ths prisoner having expressed her wish to have the case
settled at once,

Mr. Bingham asked her whethei she pleaded guilty, and
receiving an answer in the affirmative, committed her for
three months, with hard labour.

'MIS DAY.)

LA W INTELLIGENCE:-(

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.)
APPEAL.-SMITH V. PILKINGTON.
This part-heard appeal was resumed this morning.
Mr. Kessel resumed and concluded his argument for the
appellant.

Mr. Hardie is now being heard for the respondents.

This is an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir
W. Page Wood, and the question raised is whether the
mortgagee, a borrowing member of the Gloucester and
Cheltenham Building and Mutual Benefit Society, is to be
surcharged redemption and interest.
The mortgagee filed a bill of redemption against the
directors, and obtained decree with costs. Against this
decision the directors appealed.

At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel in this
case, their Lordships, on the authority of the decision in the
case of Fleeming v. Selfe, before Lord Cranworth, affirmed
the decision of Vice • Chancellor Wood, and dismissed the
appeal with costs.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS,

(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie and Justices Williams and
Crowder.)
EXTROVEN V. LEE.

This was an aetion for not accepting five tons of copper
sheathing according to contract, the price of which had gone
down in the market lid per lb, amounting to £7O in value.
A verdict having been found for the plaintiff, with leave to
move, on which a rule was obtained to set aside that
verdict.

The case, which was being argued at great length, rested
mainly on a dispute as to facto, and had not concluded
when our report left.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

:Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Bramwell and

' Watson.)
HILLS V. THE LONDON GASLIGHT COMPANY.

This was an action for infringing a patent, taken out by
the plaintiff in 1849, for improvements in purifying gas, and
VMS originally tried before the Lord Chief Baron, in Mid-
dlesex, about iwo years ago, when kis lordship, upon a wit-
ness saying that that which was sold by chemists as carbo-
nate of 'iron would practically bo oxide of iron, as an ex-
posure of the substance to the atmosphere for a very short
space of time would convert it into oxide, ruled that the
jury ought to find for the defendant. An application was
made to the Court for a new trial, upon the ground that the
answer given by the witness was altogether a mistake, and
a rule was granted and ultimately made absolute, and the
case carried down for a new trial before Mr. Baron Bram-
well, at Guildford, in the summer assize of 1858, when the
jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with damages £5 6s.
The plaintiff's specification claimed for a method of puri-
fying gas from sulphuretted hydrogen, cyanogen, and am-
monia, by passing it through a porous material, and of re-
novating the material after it became inert by taking the
sulphates, the oxychlorides, or the hydrated or precipitated
oxides of iron, either by themselves or mixed with sulphate
of lime, or sulphate or inuriate of magnesia, baryta. strontia,
potash, or soda, and absorbing them or mixing them with
sawdust dr peat charcoal, in coarse powder or breeze, or
other porous or absorbent material, so as to make a very
porous substance easily permeable by gas. Subsequently
Mr. Bovill obtained a rule nisi to enter the verdict for the
defendants, or for a nonsuit, or a new trial, on the ground
that the verdict was against the evidence.

Sir F. Kelly, Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Grove, Mr. Hind-
marsh, and Mr. C. Pollock appeared to show cause against
the rule, which was supported by Mr. Bovill, Mr. Lush,
Mr. Webster, and Mr. Denman, on behalf of the defendants.
The case is likely to occupy the Court the whole of the
day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary, and Justices Wightman and

Byles.)

.THOMAS V. THOMAS.

This was a petition of Samuel Z homes, and prayed for a
dissolution of marriage with his wife, in consequence of her
adultery. Tho parties were married in Staffordshire in
July, 1854, and cohabited until 1856, when she deserted
him and commenced a life of prostitution.
The case was fully proved, and the Court granted the
dissolution of the marriage.

CHIPPENHAM.

A rifle corps is in course of formation in this town.
Ab,:ut £550 has been subscribed towards the gene.
ral fund.

CORNWALL.

The rifle corps of this county are proceeding satis-
factorily. At a recent meeting .held at Penzance a
report was read, which stated' that the committee
had to congratulate West Cornwall on a company
having been formed in the above town of 100 men,
which had already attained a state of efficiency
second to none in that or the adjoining counties. A
letter from Major Tremenhcere was also read at
the meeting, in which he congratulated the corps
on its efficiency, and said that volunteering was
making such great progress throughout the country
that there seemed a prospect of having before long
a strong and available force of from 200,000 to
300,000 men.

DUNFERMLINE.
A public meeting of the inhabitants of Dunferm-
line, called in terms of a numerously and influen-
tially signed requisition to the Provost, has been
held here. The area of the large Lall was crowded,
there being, it was calculated, upwards of 1,200
persons present,
After an animated address from the PROVOST,
who was in the chair,—
Mr. KERR, in moving the formation of the Dun-
fermline Rifle Corps, said—l thoroughly approve
of this movement and its principle, and I think it is
certainly our duty, as it is our privilege, and ought
to be deemed our honour and pride, to defend our
country. (Applause.) lam so well pleased with
the movement, gentlemen, and with the spirit in
which you have received it, that, as I am aware
some money will be wanted, I am prepared most
willingly and cheerfully to subscribe towards the
formation of this corps £3OO. [This unexpected
announcement had no sooner fallen on the ears of
the large assemblage than all simultaneously started
to their feet, cheerily, and hurrahing at the
tops of their voices, abewaving their hats and bon.
nets. Mr. Kerr made an attempt to speak when the
vociferous cheering had somewhat subsided and
the audience were resuming their seats, but the
attempt was only the signal for another uprising,
and another loud and prolonged volley of cheers,
the gentlemen on the platform shouting and wav-
ing their hate or hands around the munificent
donor's patriotic head.] Mr. Kerr then said—l can
Ltsure you gentlemen, I am very glad, not only to
see such a very numerous assemblage as this, but
to know that all my neighbours and friends are
most zealous, anxious, and resolved that this move-
ment shall be carried out, and I need hardly say
after this demonstration of your feelings that I
hope you will give your hearty concurrence to the
best of your means and opportunities. (Prolonged
cheering.)
The resolution was agreed to with enthusiasm,
and a committee was subsequently appointed.

KINGSTON-ON-THAMES.

The inhabitants of this town have set to work to
rare a volunteer corps .f4)r Kingston and Surbiton,

Between 20 and 30 members have offered them-
selves. The subscription list has been opened in
the handsomest manner by Mr. W. Byam Martin
with the sum of £lOO, and nearly £5O more are
promised by Lord St. Leonards and others. This
nobleman is exerting himself with his usual energy
to promote the formation of the corps.

66 To THE ITALIANS.

" As underhand machinations were continually impeding
the freedom of action attached to the rank I occupy in the
army of Central Italy, and which I made use of in the en-
deavour to attain the object which every good Italian has
in view, I leave for the moment the military service.

" On the day when Victor Emmanuel will again call his
soldiers to arms for the redemption of the country I will
find again a weapon of some sort, and a place by the side of
my valiant companions.

" The miserable tortuous policy which for a moment
disturbs the majestic march of our affairs must convince us
that it is necessary for us to draw close round the valorous
and loyal soldier of independence, incapable of retrograding
in his sublime and generous path, and that we ought now,
more than ever, to prepare gold and steel so as to be able to
meet those who should endeavour to plunge us back again
into the miseries of the past.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT WARWICK.

Racing matters do not seem over prosperous at Warwick;
the committee have found it expedient to discontinue their
October Meeting, and now they have reduced their Novem-
ber gathering to one day. The causes which have led to
the decline of spirit in that locality I have frequently indi-
cdted and explained. They may be easily remedied if the
committee will exercise a little more liberality by
drawing on their race funds, and if the clerk of the
course will exhibit less partiality in framing his
handicaps. The programme for to-morrow comprises only
jumping events, and so little attention have they excited,
that speculation on theta has been limited to the class of
" bookmakers" who frequent the " lane" or haunt the pur-
lieus of Leicester-square. Jealousy, Longford, and Abd-el-
Kader have been backed, but I am more inclined to trust
Ghika : I shall, however, couple him with his stable com-
panion, Longford, to represent my interest.
For the Hurdle Race I shall select Miss Harkaway.
In a future letter I will refer to the Derby horses of
1860. A FRESH MAN.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 17th contains new
addresses to the Queen in favour of the war. It is
stated that the Moors at Tangier in practising with
artillery had taken the house of the Spanish Consul
as a mark, and that it had in consequence been com-

pletelyde&troyed. At Larache the Moors had col-
lected a strong force, and it is said that the Kabyles
and the-tribes of the neighbourhood were hurrying
with great zeal to assist in defence of the place and
the coast. At Malaga as many as 20 steamers for
the conveyance of troops had been collected. The
French Minister had given a grand banquet in
honour of the anniversary of the birth of the Em-
press of the French ; and it was attended by seve-
ral members of the diplomatic body and their wives
—amongst others by Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan.
London, England, 1859-11-22

CARLISLE.

Active steps are now being taken in Carlisle for
the establishment of a rifle corps in that city. A
public meeting, called by the Mayor, was held in
June last, to consider the propriety of a move-
ment, and a committee was appointed to obtain
information upon the subject; but at the first meet-
ing of the committee they deemed it advisable to
wait until the new Government should signify their
intentions with respect to the establishment of rifle
corps. The matter remained thus in abeyance until
last week. On Saturday a meeting of the commit-
tee was called, and 21 gentlemen met in the Town-
hall, the ex-Mayor in the chair, the Mayor of Car-
Ese being unavoidably absent. It was resolved to
take steps immediately to establish a corps in Car-
lisle, and 17. gentlemen present at once signified
their intention to become members. A public
meeting will shortly be called, and there is every
probability that a large number of riflemen will be
enrolled, and that the movement will meet with
pecuniary assistance from the gentlemen of the
neighbourhood who may not be desirous of becom-
ing active members of the corps.

MANCHESTER.

A large and enthusiastic public meeting was held
yesterday in the Manchester Town-hall to com-
mence a subscription in aid of the arming and
equipment of volunteer riflemen. Mr. Mackie, the
mayor, took the chair, and among those present
were Mr. Entwistle, Mr. IL Brandt, Mr. E. Ovens,
Mr. F. Ashton, Mr. IL Barnes, Alderman Neild,
Mr. Whitworth, Mr. T. Fairbairn, Mr. S. Fletcher,
Mr. J. Pender, and Mr. H. Fleming.

At this stage of the inquiry,
The Coroner, addressing the jury said—We 10,

t
his analysis, but he comes to the conclusion hat
death has been produced by an irritant agent) and
in the progress of the inquiry there is one startling
fact, one link wanting, to which they could not shuttheir eyes. It now rested with them whether they
would have another adjournment, for the purposei
of ascertaining where the back fat, which formed
the ingredient in the sausages, was obtained.
Mr. Beard here begged to impress upon the jury.
that his client was now almost a ruined man, a.ea
the longer the delay the more he suffered. He 1%
pressed upon them the fact that many had eat
of the sausages and not suffered. 1, +her

The court was then cleared, when an adjourn-
ment for a week was agreed on.

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the

By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for tin
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of !pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who arc subject

REIGATE.

The volunteer rifle corps now being raised here,
the sth Surrey, mustered in uniform for the first
time on Friday last. The corps already numbers
nearly 70 members, of whom between 40 and 50
answered the bugle call, and assembled in the Mar-
ket-square at two o'clock. Drill has been assidu-
ously practised for several weeks past, either in the
cricket-field or at the National School-rooms ; and
the riflemen presented a very soldier-like appear-
ance. The Hon. Mr. Monson, M.P., the captain,
was unavoidably absent ; but Lieut. Beaumont, who
has just returned from Hythe with a first-class cer-
tificate, and Ensign Lainson were present. A ;ler
the usual inspection by the officer in command the
corps, preceded by the town band, marched in suc-
cession to the residences of Mr. T. Martin and Mr.
G. F. Young, and General Smee, to whom was paid
the compliment of a military salute, in recognition
of their valuable services in the formation of the
corps. The corps then marched out to the heath,
where several light infantry manoeuvres were exe-
r cutedin a highly creditable manner, and much to
the gratification of the numerous spectators assem-
bled to witness the novel spectacle. The effect of
this demonstration was that several persons came
forward to enrol themselves as members of the corps ;
and there can be no doubt that the district will fur-
nish its full quota to the national volunteer force,
and that the sth Surrey will equal in efficiency any
corps in the kingdom.

MISS MARTINEAU ON BALMORAL BOOTS.—The
Balmoral boots of the day would be admirable but for the
military heels. Those heels throw the foot into an unna-
tural posture, by which a great strain is produced. If my
readers happen to be acquainted with a respectable chiro-
podist, let them inquire the recent news of bunions—that
severest of small maladies. They will learn that there has
been an unheard-of increase and aggravation of bunions
since the high-heeled boots came in. Tho danger of falls
is also considerable ; and those who have a dread of a long
tumble down the stairs, had better put on their boots on the
ground floor.—Once a Week.

NEW PEER,

The Earl of MORNINGTON took the oaths and his seat
on acceeding to the title.
Lord CRAN WORTH asked the Lord Chancellor
whether he would lay on the table a 'return of the statistics
of debtor and creditor quoted in his speech last night ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR said there would be no
objection to furnishing the returns referred to by the noble
and learned lord.

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented a petition
in favour of an alteration of the Law of Debtor and Creditor.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Bolton
and other places, praying for an alteration in the law with
respect to the Transfer of Real Property.

GLEBE HOUSES.

Viscount DUNGANNON put a question as to whether
any measure sanctioned by the right reverend bench was
likely to be introduced during the present session to alter
and amend the law relative to dilapidations in glebe houses ?
The noble viscount said he had received a great deal of im-
portant information from different parts of the country with
respect to the dilapidated state of glebe houses, and he had
intended to propose a bill to their lordships, but he would
much rather such a measure should emanate from the epis-
copal bench.
The Bishop of LONDON, in the absence of the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, said that the Episcopal Bench had
seriously considered the matter, and directions had been
given to frame a bill on the subject. It was a very difficult
subject, and therefore he would not give a distinct promise
that the bill would be introduced during the present session.

EAST WORCESTERSHIRE.

DUDLEY, Tuesday.—Thc Hon. Mr. Calthorpe,
the Liberal candidate, has at last made a more
specific declaration of his political principles than
he has hitherto afforded the constituency. He
attended a public meeting held here last night, the
mayor in the chair, at which Mr. Foster, M.P.,
and Mr. H. W. Foley, M.P., were present.
Mr. CALTHORPE referred first to the question of
the ballot. He said he would not pledge himself
to vote for it, not because he did not believe there
, was a necessity for it, but because he did not think
it would answer in practice the end desired. In
theory he was favourable to the ballot, but he had
seen it in practice in America and in France, and
had heard those who had been to Australia declare
that in attaining secrecy it utterly failed. Believ-
ing that to be true, he declined to pledge himself to
vote for it; if it did not answer the end contem-
plated, it would only lead to deceit, hypocrisy, and
distrust. He next alluded to the subject of reform,
and said he would vote for a county £lO franchise,
but with regard to boroughs, an experienced Par-
liamentary man could not say what course he
would adopt until he had seen the measures to be
brought forward ; and it would be presumption in
a young man like him to do so. But a reform bill,
in addition to the extension of the franchise, should
contain many other things, and he would support
that which most accorded with the general intelli-
gence of the country, and with a full and fair re-
presentation. He would vote for the entire aboli-
tion of church rates, for two reasons; Ist, because
he thought the Established Church quite rich
enough, and sufficiently beloved by her members to
support herself; and 2d, because their entire abo-
lition would do away with the heartburnings and
hostility to the Church which they now prouced.
As to the income tax, he would not vote for its
entire abolition, but would vote for a greater tax
being placed on landed or funded property. He was
for the repeal of the paper duty, and advocated the
continuance of Government 'grants for educational
purposes. He would not support any great reduc-
tion in the armaments of the country.
At Oldbury, also, Mr. Pakington was announced
to address a public meeting, but at the appointed
time the Hon. F. Lygon appeared in his behalf,
and explained that he continued to) ill to attend a
public meeting, and that he intended to reserve
his strength for the day of nomination. Mr.
Lygon advocated the cause of Mr. Pakington as an
independent man, who came forward to vindicate
the independence of the county against the claims
of a total stranger. Other speakers followed.

Proprietor —C. MORTON.
The public is most respectfully informed that the Firm

OPEN DAT AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12
O'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec-
tion of Pictures, by Ancient and Modern Masters .and is also
devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels
he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-
ng Music Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
dded Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the
Kingdom.
The MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual at
Seven o'clock.
In addition to the usual entertainment, the SAUVLET
FAMILY, of Amsterdam, Eight in number, whose varied
instrumental performances have created so marked a sensa-
tion in the principal cities and towns of the Continent, will

IMMIGRATION OF FREE NEGROES.

Lord BROUGHAM, in pursuance of notice, asked whe-
ther the royal assent had been given to the Jamaica Immi-
gration Act ?
The Earl of CARNARVON said the best attention had
been given by the Secretary of the Colonies to the act re-
ferred to by the noble and learned lord, and he had deter-
mined to submit the act onthe very first opportunity to her
Majesty for confirmation, as he was satisfied the bill
worked very satisfactorily, which was, in fact, nothing but
a confirmation of the principles which had been repeatedly
sanctioned. The bill had not been hastily adopted by the
Jamaica legislature.
Lord BROUGHAM said the bill was introduced into the
Jamaica Assembly one Wednesday, andhad passed through
all its stages the Wednesday following. In that time two
days intervened, Saturday and Sunday, during which no
business was transacted, and consequently no petitions
could be presented. _ _

Earl GREY believed that the system which the bill
legalised would ultimately, instead of leading to an en-
couragement of the slave trade, prove a most formidable
rival to that trade, and restore prosperity to our colonies.
He thought the colonial 'legislatures ought to be closely
watched, as after a bill passed by one of them had once
been confirmed by her Majesty, her Ministers could only
overrule it by a special act of the British Parliament.
After a few words from the Earl of AIRLIE,
The Bishop of OXFORD thought as there were certain
alterations which the Government intended to suggest to
the Colonial Legislature to amend, it would be better if the
bill, with the alterations, was presented and laid on the
table of the house.
Their lordships then adjourned.

LAW-MAKERS AND LAWS.-TAYLOR V. WALTERS.

This was a dispute relative to a rate, and his Honour
said he had felt himself in a little difficulty, but an Act of
Parliament passed in the reign of George 11. relieved him.
Like other Acts of Parliament, however, the law was evi-
dently made by those who knew nothing about it. He be-
lieved it was generally the case that the legislators did not
understand some of their own Acts of Parliament.
Plaintiff agreed to waive his claim.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

GROSS ASSAULT ON A LADY.-Mr. Henry Brown,
builder, of 35, Moore-street, Sloane-square, was charged
with assaulting Miss Sophia Tillman, of 29, Queen's-ter-
race, Bayswater. _ _

Mr. Cornelius Tillman, brother of the complainant, said
that on the previous night he was proceeding, in company
with his sister, from the Lyceum Theatre, and in the
Strand were arranging with a cabman to take them home
when the prisoner came up, thrust himself between them,
and acted in a very offensive manner. He told him he had
nothing to do with the affair, and, rejoining his sister,
hurried on, and when they got as far as Regent-circus per-
ceived that the prisoner was following thorn. He expostu-
lated with him, when he put himself in a fighting attitude,
and his sister received a violent blow in the face, the pri-
'oner at the same time making use of a disgusting expres-
sion.

The accused said he had taken too much wine.

Mr. Tillman said the prisoner said ho was employed by
the Ecloctric Telegraph Company to watch them, and that
there were plenty of others doing the same thing, and that
he knew them of old.

Miss Sophia Tillman confirmed her brother's evidence,
and said the blow she received was a very severe one.
Mr. Beaden said it was a gross assault, and fined the
accused £5, or two months' imprisonment.
