TIIE _RICHMOND
TRIAL OF DR. SMETHURST.

POISOIvi

[V &
U~3

SECOND DAY.
(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.

IUSE OF LORDS--(THIS EVENING).

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
5 o'clock

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The following bills, on the motion of Lord REDESDALE,
were read a second time :—East Kent Railway; Herne
Bay and Faversham Railway (Margae Extension) ; Scot-
tish Central Railway ; and Sirhowy toaoa.
THIRD READINGS.
The following bills were read a third time and passed :
Earl of Kintore's Estate ; Liverpool Sanitary Amendment
Act ; Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Rail-
way ; Carlisle, and Penrith, &c., Roads, and Much Wen-
lock and Severn Junction Railway.
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 byiproceeding 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 . thought 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-
Western 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, when 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 introduce 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
latter 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 introduction of a bill (promi back
1853), to place Roman Catholic charities under the super-
intendence of the Charity Commissioners, from whose con-
trol they are now especially
texempt ; 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,
Lordreply 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
misunderstood. Though he would postpone the question
for the present, he would bring it on again next s_ hon,
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

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 Foreign 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.

Mr. Thomas Henry Kavanagh, Assistant-Commissioner
in Oude—On the Bth of November, 1857, Mr. Kavanagh,
then serving under the orders of Lieutenant-General Sir
James Outram, in Lucknow, volunteered on the dangerous
duty of proceeding• through the city to the camp of the
Commander-in-Chief, for the purpose of guiding the re-
lieving force to the beleaguered garrison of the residency—
a task which he performed with chivalrous gallantry and
devotion.
Mr. Ross Lewis Mangles, of the Bengal Civil Service,
Assistant Magistrate at Patera—Mr. Blangles volunteered and
served with the force, consisting of detachments of her Ma-
jesty's 10th and 37th Regiments, and some native troops, de-
spatched to the relief of Arrah, in July, 1857, under the com-
mand of Capt. Dunbar, of the 10th Regiment. The force fell
into an ambuscade on the night of the 29th of July, 1857,
and, during the retreat on the next morning, Mr. Mangles,
with signal gallantry and generous self-devotion, and not-
withstanding that he had himself been previously wounded,
carried for several miles, out of action, a wounded soldier of
her Majesty's 37th Regiment, after binding up his wounds
under a murderous fire, which killed or wounded almost
the whole detachment ; and he bore him in safety to the
boats.
