Tits public have waited anxiously from day to day to see if any further light could be thrown on what is certainly one of the most appalling, though at the same time one of the most deliberate and me thodical, of modem murders. It appears pro bable, however, that we already know all, or nearly all, that can be known with regard to the motive, the object, and the means of this triple crime. And now that it appears in its true proportions, stripped of all mystery and disguise, it is in some respects even more revolting, has in it a more de cided element of naked vulgar horror than before, the triviality of the motive adding to the atrocity of the ruthless deed. Mr. Da QITINVEY remarks that much of the peculiar and contagious honor excited throughout the metropolis by the Ratcliff highway murders, half a century ago, arose from the fact that they seemed prompted by no motive except the mere love of murder. But next in horror to a series of ghastly crimes perpetrated for their own sake, must be a series of crimes equally unnatural perpetrated from the most common, if not the most insignificant, of ell commonplace motives. In the present case HUNT, the mur derer, disliked some of his wife's habits, excused her, ill-used her, and, as she did not im prove, determined at length to clear the whole family out of his path by a swift azt of wholesale murder, rather than be subject to any further do mestic annoyance. It is difficult to realise the dark, malignant and icy nature of the man who was capable of deliberately forming and as deliberately carrying out this fatal purpose. All we know of his conduct before and after the deed seems to show that be was insocessible to all feelings of pity or remorse. Nor is there a single incident in the whole dismal story calculated in the least to relieve the dark, selfish, and relentless features of the crime. The murder was evidently very deliberately planned in all its details. If we go beck two or three weeks to that cottage in Coldharbour-lane we may assume with certainty that the head of the family wss plotting day after day and night after night how he might best accomplish the de. 'traction of his family. He sallied out in the morning, went through his daily work, returned home in the evening, sat with his wife and cFl dren, ate and drank with them, and was all the time not only bent on their death, but matut:ng the scheme that was to sweep them for ever from his path. They were not a burden to him in • pecuniary Dame. Harr: was comparatively well off, and though his wife is said to have latterly indulged °maximally to excess, this does not ap pear to have crippled their reeotutes ; for at the time of his capture he had upwards of forty pounds about him. Nor were his wife and child-en merely in his way, for had b's object simply been to live apart from them, he might have effected this in many ways—by • separation from his wife, or by leaving them altogether. Judging by the result, it seems clear that he had cherished feelings of bitterness, of hatred and revenge against his family, until those feelings acquired such malig nant intensity and concentration the nothing abort of their death by his own hand would satisfy. This point once reached, his only care would be to discover some plan of effecting his purpose that promised to battle all ordinary means of detection. If he once succeeded in persuading himself that the deed might be done with compa rative impunity, it was certain that its execution would not be long delayed. And the calculation on which he eventually acted is sufficiently ob vious. He evidently reckoned that if he trans ported his victims to the opposite extreme of the me tropolis from their own home, and then, committing them to a cab for a still more distant quarter, if he quietly effected his murderous design, the cab might safely be allowed to drive on to its destina tion with its awful burden of death. The bodies being thus landed in the midst of a distant, a busy, and densely-peopled quarter, with nothing about them to identify them, all clue to the dis covery of the crime would, it was confidently assumed by the murderer, be lost. He thought that three corpses flung at • distant point on the surface of • restless sea of three millions of human beings, would, after • little vain in quiry, be hurried from view, and nothing more be heard of them. Happily in this, as so commonly happens with criminals of his stamp, the mur derer reckoned without his host. He did not re flect that so far from there being any real security from crime because it i committed in a crowd, the largest and most populous living area but affords the surest guarantee of its ultimate de tection. Tile presence of numbers but multiplies the means and instruments of discovery. In telligence in these days flies fast, and by Monday morning every nook and corner of this wide metropolitan world, to its extremest suburb, was roused to active inquiry whether any persons answering to tho description of the murdered persons had been known in the neighbourhood, or had been missed since the previous Saturday. The three millions, instead of helping to conceal the crime, were thus converted into ministers of justice and avengers of innocent blood. The prompt dis °ovary of the murderer in this way is undoubtedly the most important, and on public grounds the most salutary feature of this terrible case. Fancied impunity on his part was no doubt the imme diate occasion of the crime. Could BUNT have foreseen, or even imagined, that he would be seized on Monday night, he would not have murdered his wife and children on Saturday evening. But be calculated with such perfect confidence on escaping detection, that he not only I made no provision for such en eateggen cy, but was preparing to enjoy his recovered freedom after his own fashion. What ho did with himself on 1 Sunday has not yet, we believe, been aaoer tained. But on Monday he went to his ordinary work, was more jovial than usual with his com panions after the day's business was over, looked •in at his customary public-house when he got to Camberwell later in the evening, and was com fortably in bed reading a work of fiction when the officers of justice were upon him, dissi pating rudely and for ever by their im portunate demands his fatal dreams of se curity, enjoyment, and repose. His subsequent , conduct was quite in harmony with his ( 3 tracter. He knew in an instant that escape was hopeless, and showed his sense of it by taking the poison before he opened the door. But consistently with his false, cowardly, and selfish nature, he bad not the courage to avow his crime, or to brave out the denial of it. He lied and prevaricated as long as he had breath. He denied having taken any poison, affirming that he had no doubt what he took wu gin. He alleged that his wife and children were dressed in light clothes when they left home, and that they were gone to visit an uncle at Southampton, hinging, however, in the same breath, the most terrible charges against his wife. And he expired in the act of repeating, in writing, one of the false hoods he had already told. The curious thing is that all the falsehoods he so industriously told could be refuted by half an hour's inquiij.. But he chose to die with a lie in the right hand that had already taken the lives Cl his wife and children. The wretched man expiated his awful crime in his own way. But the satisfactory feature, as we have said, is that he was so promptly traced and secured by the officers of justice. The only check on such violent and vindictive natures as HUNT evidently possessed, the only effective check on the fatal in dulgence of such morbid and savage passions as he cherished is the moral certainty of dis covery following crime. This assurance will effectually disturb their nicely-balanced calcu lations of chances in plannirrg the de struction of their fellow-creatures. They will panso before allowing teolings of irritation and dislike to ripen into murderous hate, and learn to bear some temporary, and even some permanent evils, instead of stealthily seeking in the path of silent crime to cut themselves free from the re sponsibilities they have assumed. If the detection of crime is tolerably swift and sure, cases of unna- tural husbands and fathers attempting to escape domestic annoyance by the deliberate murder of their wives and children will not be likely to recur.

Railroad communication has been re-opened be tween Alexandria and Warrenton. Mosby's gue rillas are still operating around Warrenton. An engagement took place on the 28th at Chat tanooga, in which General Hooker captured seven prisoners and 1,000 rates, losing 350 killed and wounded. General Thomas reports that the Con federates attacked Geary's division on the 28th, but were repulsed and driven from their breast works and across Lookout Creek. All has been quiet at Chattanooga since the 29th Oct. Fifteen thousand Confederate cavalry, under Wheeler, Forest, and Rodly, are in the neighbour hood of Decatur, Courtland, and Tuscumbia, south of the Tennessee river, prepared to operate on General Grant's line of communications. General Burnside's forces have retreated from London, Tennessee, to the heights commanding the town. Charleston advion received at Richmond to the 30th ult state that the bombardment of Fort Sum ter on that day was the heaviest that had yet taken place. From sundown on the 28th to sundown on the 29th, 1,200 shots from 15-inch mortars and 3001 b. Parrott guns were thrown against Fort Sumter. On the evening of the 30th, the Federal, opened upon the north-east angle of Fort Sumter from forts Greig and Wagner and two other batterries on Cumming's Point. Three Monitors were also engaged.

He declared that war, as carried on by the administration, could only end in ruin and national bankruptcy. De mocracy proposed to add conciliation to the power of force. He denounced the effot.s of the admi nistration to centralise power and diminish state rights. The administration had dealt unfairly with New York in regard to fulaishing troops, and favoured New England. At a complimentary visit to the New Jersey municipality, Admiral Liavoski sail he was sure that the Emperor of Russia sympathised with the North in the present unjust rebellion, and hoped and believed, as he himself did, that the North would be successful. He should shortly take as many of his fleet as possible to Washington to winter there. 0011MERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Nov. 3, Evisuic. . .

EXPRESS FRQM PARIS. (nom on ow PARIS, ThusaDAY &um. There is not a word of truth in the reiterated insertions of the France that several of the powers have already adhered to the congress. The Pays itself is constrained to set these premature an nouncements down to the score of " impatience ;, and it admits that, on amount of some sovereigns being away from home, and others being at the head of constitutional governments, no adhesions Save come in yet. The Garet; ck France contains the following smart observations upon the Emperor's letter to the Frankfort Diet, and which is understood to be identical with the one which he bee addressed to all the principal powers of Europe The Emperor, as we see, mines his project of a me pest Bat the letter of convocation stye absolutely nothing of the conditions of this assemblage. It only lays down the general proposition that there shall be a meeting of sove reigns, or of the representatives of sovereigns, and does not define the immediate object to be attained. We an aware, of course, that it is intended to consolidate peace. But what sort of peace is meant? We have seen so many varie ties within the last sixty years, that the word no longer represents an identical idea to all minds. Peace for Jinni& means the possession of Poland and the fusion of the filavottio race into a single empire under the domination of the Cur and the Greek schism. For Eng land peace is the undisputed preponderance of her fleet and the arbitrary extension of her colonial conquests. For Pied moot it is the unity of Italy coder Victor Emmanuel, with Rome for a capital. For Rome peace means the unction of the legitimate Retie of sovereigns and peoples. For Austria it signifies the German Ijonfideratios remodelled, and placed under the direction of Vienna. What the power mean by peace is the satisfaction of their own respective ambition or rancour. If they were to agree to meet in wa gons, it would only be in the hope of gaining some &dras tic, for their personal views, secret plans, and national vanity ; and this is the reason why coogressee have always hitherto followed ware and Dot preceded them. If the dif ferent sovereigns ware really animated with the intentions which they are now assumed to entertain, it is certain that there would be no need to convoke them in a coignes. I think it not unimportant to call to mind as an element of interpretation of the imperial swath, that there were a few weeks before it was delivered several military dinners, at which the probability of speedy war was mentioned in the presence of marshals of France. One of these banquets, which took place at Versailles, I noticed at the time. Another very significant fact is that the opera of Charles VI., which bas been for a long time prohibited, because the celebrated song in it, "Guerre aux tyrans," is accepted as a war cry against England, has been suddenly and simultane ously authorised at Marseilles, Bordeaux, and Lyons. The Salta Public at Lyons mentions as a curious fact that the Lyons public is to bear " Guerre aux tyrans" all the winter by way of prelude to the congress of peace. The Marquis d'Havrinconrt, the Emperor's cham berlain, was admitted a member of the Corps Legis latif yesterday without discussion, and the Patois seems to have been altogether in error when it stated that a bureau had stated by a considerable majority that he was ineligible as being a paid functionary. The doctrine which the chamber silently admits is that a chamberlain, being paid out of the civil list, is not a " functionary " within the meaning of the law of incompatibilities. The Marquis de Pepoli, the newly appointed Italian ambassador to the court of St. Petersburg, has arrived in Paris from Turin, on his way to his post. He is going to Compihgne to stay some days, and it is said that he has with him, an autograph letter from Victor Emmanuel to Napoleon 111. At the Bourse, notwithstanding the rise to 7 pee cent. of the Bank of France discount, the Resta rose 30c. for cash and liic. for account, and Mobi her rose 12fr. 50c. There are rumours that some most impudent riggery of the market has been re sorted to to bring about this result. MADRAS RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

He said the line oon. pistol of twoseparate hoes, the south.westand the north-west. The south-west trunk line was 406 miles in length, and by the branch to Bangalore thedistaince traversed would be in creased to 490 miles. A substantial and durable permanent way had been formed with iron sleepers, and this would greatly reduce the cost of maintenauce. The progress male during the half-year in the construction of the Baugalore branch was satisfactory, and there was every reason to suppose that it would be finished by the middle of next year, when it would connect Madre' by railway with the large and important city of Mysore. The north-west line had boss intended to joio the Great Indian Peninsula, but a change had been made in the route of the latter, which awaited theapproval of the government. The greet obstacle in the north-west trunk was the vacant from the Climatic, but tire difficulties were being surmounted. By the early part of next year 60 miles would have been completed. The increase in the passenger traffic no the southwest line in the six months, as compared with the corresponding six months of the previous year, amounted to 12 per cent. ; and that in the goods trifle to 24 per cent. The increase in money receipts was 16,4(Ji. When the Bangalore branch was completed the ratio of increase would no doubt be greater. The traffic on the north-west line was still more satisfactory, showing an increase of 96 per cent. over that of the corresponding half bear of 1862. The working expenses had also increased ; ut the substitution of wood for coal, promised • great re duction nadir the head of fuel, the danger of fire, which had previously prevented the use of wood, having bees obviated by the invention of a spark catcher. No coal had hitherto been discovered iu the presidency of Madras. He then stated that there was about 4C9,00/. remaining in the hands of the government, but that more capital would soon be required, and about the end of the year ad. ditiosal shares would be offered to the proprietors ratably. in reply to a question, . - The (NA !KLAN said the great increase In the working @a proses, which had Dearly alworbed the additional receipta, had amen from the substitution of iron for wooden sleepers.

It is called Camberwell, but is in the parish of Lambeth. We saw so light. Smith knocked at the door, and not receiving an answer in • very short time be knocked again. At this time no noise had been beard in the house, but after the demi knock a noise was heard in the house like a eougbiog or belching, and • person moving. Smith then knocked again, and immediately person from within said, " Who is there r I said, "Open the door if you please ; I want to speak to you." !heard him unfasten the chain and open the door. The door wee opined and I mw a man with only his shirt on. He laid, " Whoare you—the police?" and then made towards te a dein. I said, " Where are you going r He re. plied, " For a light." Inspector Smith said, " I have alight," and turned on his lamp. Hunt then said be wanted to go upstairs to his bedroom. The person I have seen deed is the man. Inspector Smith then went up. stairs first, the deceased and I followed. Directly we es. tared the bedroom he sat on the centre of the bed aad vomited. He had done the same when going upstairs. He said, "What do you want with me ?" I said, " Have yes reed the amount of the murder on Saturday last?' He answered, "Yee, I was reading it this evening." I said, " nave beard that your family is not &theme." Hailed, "That is right ; my family went to Southampton ea Friday." We bad previously cautioned him as to what he might say to us.

He then walked about for •short time, but staggered, and we assisted him to achair, alas he said, " I am dying fast."

On searching his house I found in a cupboard is the bedroom • small bottle containing • fluid, wbith I think is aconite. I did not find • stopper of any kind in the room.

I said. "Something more than that." He end, " I could not detect say 'Muria from his mouth. The retch• tag was exeserive and spasmodic. At that time 1 had felt satisfied that he had taken poison. When I first saw him I attempted to riminister an emetic of sulphate of sine sod water ; he objected to take it. I said, " Coma come, Hunt. you know me and must take it ;" be allowed he mouth to be completely filled. and then jerked his head, @pitting it all out. Having provided myself with a second emetic, I took care that he swallowed it. This acted, and apparently he ejected all that bad been given him. He then said, "Oh, my heart!"
