DR. SMETHURST, THE CONVICT.

No formal communication has yet been madefrom
the Home Secretary with regard to the fate of the
prisoner, but there appears to be a strong impression
on the minds of those in authority who are enabled
to form an opinion upon the subject, that the law
will take its course, and that the advisers of the
Crown will not consider themselves justified in re-
commending the prisoner to her Majesty's clemency.
The whole of the facts have been carefully consi-
dered, and it will be seen that the attempt that has
been made to establish the innocence of the prisoner
upon the supposition that what is called the " me-
dical" testimony, was insufficient to establish his
guilt, and based altogether upon wrong premises,
the case for the prosecution resting much more upon
the " anatomical ' than the " medical" evidence.

It will be recollected that upon the second day
of the trial, when Mr. Barwell, who made the post
mortem examination of the deceased, was under
examination, one of the jurymen was taken ill, and
the trial was consequently suspended. The illness
was supposed to be attributable to the painful and
sickening details that were necessarily entered
into in giving the particulars of a post mortem
examination ; and the Lord Chief Baron suggested
that so far as it was practicable this class of evi-
dence should not be too minutely entered into, and
Sergeant Ballantine, in conducting the prosecution,
forebore, therefore, from examining the witnesses
closely into the state of the vital organs and viscera.
upon the post-mortem examination ; being actuated,
of course, by the opinion, in his vast experience of
great value, that the other evidence in the case was
quite sufficient to support the charge. The evidence
that was excluded was, however, of the most
material importance, for it would have shown most
conclusively that the appearances presented upon
the post-mortem examination in some of the most
important viscera of the deceased, were traceable to
the administration of poison and to no other known
cause. It would also have been proved, but for a
technical difficulty, that the prisoner was engaged
for many hours at Doctors'-commons, looking over
the wills of different parties, to ascertain the total
amount and description of property to which the
unhappy lady, who had made so miserable a selec-
tion of a partner and companion, would be, under
every possible circumstance, contingent or absolute,
entitled, and that this occurred before the com-
mencement of the first " illness," at Old Palace-
gardens, Richmond, where the prisoner and the
deceased first took up their abode.
The prisoner himself still remains in the same
condition, continually protesting his innocence
to those about him. Ho has not been visited

by any one but his brother, who has a special
order from the visiting justices of the gaol, and he
has seen him five times during the past week.
Their interviews are very short, and upon one or
two occasions have not lasted more than five or ten

minutes, but they are, of course, entirely confiden-
tial, the two brothers, placed in such an unhappy
position, being naturally left by the gaol authori-
ties, who are ever anxious to " temper justice wilh
mercy," in such a position as to have unrestrained

communication with each other to the fullest extent
compatible with their duty to the public.
Tho prisoner partakes heartily of his meals and
sleeps soundly every night. He seems always calm
and.composed, and certainly evinces no outward
indications of a guilty mind. His conduct, in these
respects, very much resembles that of William Pal-
mer after his removal to Stafford Gaol.

[AnvEllrisnmExT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Diphtheria, Sore Throat, Glandular Swellings. Some
twenty years ago diphtheria raged in Paris to an alarming
extent, and in Boulogne, in 1855, its presence produced
consternation by the desolation it left in its track, and gained
the appellation of the " Egyptian pestilence." Diphtheria
is a variety of typhoid fever, perfectly under curative con-
trol by Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which lasuage the
fever, diminish the thirst, disperse inflammation in the
throat, and speedily heal the' hazardous ulcerations on the
tonsils which always accompany the complaint. Various
are the remote causes of this pestilenco but impure blood
directly produces it ; thus Holloway's preparations, by fil-
tering everything deleterious from that vital fluid, ward off
the disease.
