Ma— . ••hlOomoolo• is 406‘ LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 2 Ir would be curious to ascertain from some authentic source how often crimes perpetrated by several persons remain unpunished because none of those engaged will betray their comrades. It requires no common daring, we should think, to commit a burglary, or to plan and execute a suc cessful murder, and therefore it is not surprising to find that those who are found guilty of such offences are, almost without exception, men who have had long experience in such enterprises. The selection of fit men to do such deeds cannot be an easy task, but the selection of men who, in Othello's phrase, will play the part of "honour " able murderers —who if they are appre hended will not betray their comrades to screen themselves—would seem to be a task even more difficult. Personal revenge is comparatively • rare motive to murder, and even when it is the motive, the crime is committed by a single individual. Cupidity and avarice are the passions which generally induce men to conspire against their fellow-creatures ; but as the desire of life is always stronger than the desire of wealth, it is singular that a number of conspirators, after being arrested, should ever remain true to each other. If all remain silent, no doubt all have a chance of escape. If any one of them turns approver, that chance is infinitely diminished, whilst the approver himself is saved. The wonder is that approvers should ever be wanting. The man who will murder his fellow-creature for the sake of a few pounds, and will at the same time stick to his comrade in the crime from a sense of honour, is a marvellous anomaly. These reflections have been suggested by a cam which has just been tried by Mr. Baron Msarrx at Liverpool. It seems that during the month of November last year a certain ANN/ WALNE was living in a lonely house near Ribchester. She was 79 years of age—and besides following the bun nem of a small farmer, kept • beer-house. Living entirely alone, and having the reputation of being eccentric and penurious, she was of course supposed to possess a considerable sum of money, which it was said she kept concealed in her bed. A few days before the 10th of November she had disposed of a cow, in order, as it was supposed, to meat her rent, and the produce of the sale was probably in the house. About 8 o'clock on that evening Mrs. WALNI was seen by the man who need to tend her cattle standing at her door. They exchanged salutations. He heard her bolt the door, but be never again saw her alive. The same man came next morning. The barn door was open. He knocked at the house door. No one answered, but on going round he found that the window had been taken out and stood 'against the wall. Upon entering through the window frame there lay the old women dead. She was nearly stripped. Both her hands were fastened to the bedposts. One handkerchief was tied tight round the neck, and there was another between her lips. The head was cut, the nose was broken, and the face bruised. It was obvious that the poor woman's house had been broken into, and that ehe had been murdered. The house itself was in confu sion. The door of the old clock was open, and the hand pointed to seven minutes put 2, as if some robber had been searching it for money about that time and bad touched the pendulum. Moreover, inside the window, which had been rr moved, there were marks which showed that matches had been struck against the wall. In abort, there was ample proof of a burglary and • murder. But who had done it It is somewhat remarkable that until a game keeper, BOWLING, told his story to the inspector of polio., little if any suspicion attached to the men who have just been convicted. But if Bowtixo is to be believed, one of these men, M`Pasir., volunteered the confession that he had taken part in the murder, mentioned the names of his companions, and when BOWLING asked him why he could not have taken the old woman's money without murdering her, be replied that " the old devil should here told us where her " money was." No motive is assigned for M'Prun. volunteering this statement, and therefore it might have been difficult to obtain a conviction upon Bowuno's evidence alone. But fortune.ely for public justice, another of the men, ELLZTLIY, re solved to betray his friends. He told the whole story of the murder, and his story was corroborated in several important particulars. According to Hairrur's account, about a week before the fatal night, M'Pasit, made the propose. They were to be joined by Geoaos Wool*, a dis charged soldier, and Deem. Cass, woo died sod denly • few days ago in prison of heart disease. M`Pairt was a hawker, and had aacettained from Mrs. Wits& that elle had sold her cow to make up the rent. M'Pasm., being "fast for money," was resolved to have it. Matters were arranged. Twice the scheme failed. At length, on Monday, the 10th of November, the four—Whim, Cent, WOODS, and HAZTLIY—met at Salford-br'dge. One bad a stick with lead and • crowbar, another bad a stick, M`Pitan. himself had • dark lantern and a pistol. The men proceeded towards the old woman's house. From 8 until 12 they remained in • barn, and thence went to Mrs. W.tuir's barn. There they lay down in the hay. Presently M 'FRAIL said, " It's time to begin." He went out. HAIRTLrf wee left to watch. The others took out the window. This done, the four entered, struck • light, seized the old woman, and asked her where her money was. Instead of answering else screamed, and to stop the noise they beat her about the head, and finally left her tied to the bedpost. The house was searched, and the sum of 401., partly in gold and portly in silver, was carried off. They took *A roar", Preston, threw away their weapon% ayd dirtily& the spoiL Then they went into a publialionee, had something to drink, and finally took the rail way, and got out at what is called Cherry Tree Station. Such was the story told by HARTLEY. It was confirmed by the facts that the four men knew each other before, and were seen in company on the night and morning in question ' - that they were id e ntified as having been at the railway sta tion mentioned, and that they were in possession of money, which they are described as having spent freely at public-houses in the neighbourhood. But besides this, the man HARTLEY having pointed out the place where the crowbar and the pistol had been thrown, both of these weapons were recovered. Under the circumstances it is difficult to doubt that 11.sicrixv told the truth. But at the same time, if that man had remained silent, it is equally diffi cult to suppose that either HARTLZY or his com rades would have been convicted.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS: PARIS. WIDNIRDLY Eranao. The Fould crisis is terminated by the dismissal of his rival, M. Magna. The Emperor's letter to the latter, published by the Monsieur, can hardly, however, be more pleasing to M. Fould than was the consmuniqu which provoked the tender of his resignation. The letter is open to the interpreta tion that the Emperor keeps M. Fould to avoid a panic at the Bourse, but that his private leaning is towards the more facile minister in whom he pro claims his entire confidence, and with whose ser vices he dispenses "for the moment." The Temps says that M. de Vuitry is to be ap , pointed minister without portfolio, vice Magne ; but according to the France, which I am disposed to think is in this instance better informed, the talking post will not be filled up for the present, and the task of defending M. Fould'a budget be fore the Corps Legislatif will be shared by M. Baroche and M. de Vuitry, the latter appearing not as a minister but merely as a octuncillor of state. The Prase makes some well-timed reflections upon the very remarkable episode of imperialism which baa just occurred. Where begins, it asks, and where ends that "fable news" which is so severely punished by the laws against the press? A given piece of news may be true in the morning and false in the evening. For instance, the news that M. Fould, the finance minister, had resigned on account of a communiqui sent to the Patrie and Journal des Dibats was true on Monday ; but it was not true on Tuesday, because his resignation was not ac cepted. Now, with the exception of the France, a journal which, being protected by the high sena torial position of its editor, rashly ran the risk of a timid insinuation, no other journal in all Paris dared to mention a fact of which all Paris was talking, and which was translated at the Bourse by a fall of 65c. in the Rent.. People living in the country and in retired quarters of Paris must certainly have said to themselves, " Why this fall at the Bourse, and why do not the money articles of the newspapers tell us the resaon of it? Do the gentlemen who write these articles know nothing of what is going on ?" Here we find a practical consequence of the laws against the press. They prevent journalists from stating, even with reserve, news of importance, which must always be liable to be stigmatised as "fate," because it is just as rare for true news to be unmixed with some false matter as it is for false news not to have a grain of truth in it. False news is almost always to true news what smoke is to fire. But the press laws do not prevent the most alarming and contradictory rumours from circulating iu conversation, as was the case on Monday. Would it not have been better and more simple if, instead of driving readers to draw inferences from a fall of 135 c. iu Three per Cents. and of 401 r. in Mobilise, the preen had been permitted to say honestly that M. Fould had resigned--a fact which every journalist in Paris well knew I To-day the Bourse has been depressed, and Rents closed at 69fr. 1 6c. with a fall of SOL The effects of the panic caused by M. Fould's resignation are, therefore, at this moment only half effaced, so far as regards the Route. Mo biller, however, rose 1.0 fr., and the railways are generally a shade higher. I M.

A body of 570 men have thus regained their country near Opatowios, from which place they same, for before leaving they bad all deposited their arms in a hiding place, and will resume them on their return. The majarity of the Poles who are proceeding to fight bid a solemn adieu to their relaCoss sod friends, for they know that they are going to meet death. The Runk= have declared in the villages along the Aus- trian frontier that every place which favours the insurgents shall be burnt. The peasantry were seized with terror on learning this order, and. ceding to the menaces of the Rue- Ideas, will, it is - feared, oppose obstacles to the operations of the insurgents. The Archbishop of Warsaw has addressed a letter to the Czar, in which occurs the following charac teristic passage : At a time of terrible calamity and bloodshed I feel It my duty to address your Majesty, and to tell you, in my capa city as chief of the Polish establishment, what are the oely means of putting a stop to the indescribable misery which has befallen our land. Administrative reforms, whatever their extent and im port, are no longer calculated to untidy the Poles. There is not a man in the country to be gained over by the binder of mere administrative improvement. The nation yearns for political life and the restoration of independence. The most terrific repression will never be powerful enough to eradicate a spirit filling every Polish soul, and which, I regret to say, tends, tram day to day, to deepen the gulf be tween the nation and the throne. It I. only by the revival of Polish independence and the maintenance of no more than a dynastic connexion with Russia ►hat your Majesty OM remove the probability of ruling, in no distant future, over a country consisting of ruins, and where public, prospe rity is a myth of the past.

A Madrid letter in the lifessager de Bayonne has the subjoined intelligence : The Infante Don Juan has certainly been for a week at Madrid without anyone suspecting his presence. The go vernment was only informed of it after the bird bad flown. The Queen it was who informed the Marquis de Idiratlores of the fact, telling him that be was badly served by his polio& The venerable marquis was thunderstruck. He emures everyone who listens to him that if he had been informed in time of the prinoe's me of audacity, he would not have hesitated to have bad him arrested and imprisoned. Instead of that—end I doubt much whether he would have been able to put that threat into execution—be hes been compelled to merely kunst in the Gazette a pars graph, stating that the ex-Infante saw neither the Queen nor any member of the royal family. With the permission of the Marquia de Miradures, I must inform you that, according to the particulars which I have gathered, Don Juan wee entertained in the palms of the Duke de Sem, who is married to a sister of the King ; that the *r ioted* came to Madrid to fulfil an act of pore courtesy; that he was more than once received by the Bing and Queen, and that one evening he went to the Theatre Royal with the object of seeing the children of their Majesties and the Duke de Moutpensier, who were present ; and lastly, that a recognition of the sovereignty of the Queen by the prince is a secret but accomplished fact, and that Don Juan will return to England, where, two months hence, he will sign before the Spanish representative the solemn act of his unibiniesioe. The son of Lon Carla. will not be at first re. integrated in his rank and rights of Infante, but will lire as a stranger, with a pension of 100,0006. or 150,000 fr. a year.

It is officially stated that the last reports received from Mexico announce that General Foray had summoned a council of all the generals and chiefs of the service for the 28th February, in order to ar range the details of the movement on Puebla, and give them their final instructions.

COPENHAGEN, Aram 2. Lost night a most important proclamation of the , King was published, referring to the separation of Holstein from its connexion with the entire monarchy. The introduction to this document says : " The proclamation of the King of the 28th of January, 1852, stated his Majesty's intention to combine the different portions of the monarchy, by means of a common constitution, into one single well-regulated state. This intention could not be realised because the Federal Diet interfered in the interior affairs of the monarchy, awl set up demands not founded upon Federal laws, and incompatible with the independence of the crown and the privileges of those portions of the country not belonging to the Confederation. The Estates of Holstein have, iu addition, rejected every proposition which might have led to an agreement, and have declared themselves hostile to any common constitution based upon united repre sentation. Such a state of internal discord, by which the development of the kingdom has been pars. lysed for the last ten years, cannot longer continue. In consequence of the unsatisfactory results of the last assembly of the Holstein Diet, we deem it our duty as ruler, to settle the position of Holstein in the monarchy, as we con. eider must in conformity with our Federal duties. For the present we confine ourselves to the moat , urgent part of this task, reserving any further developments for a future period. "By this present proclamation, therefore, we I sent moment.

If the blood of these Poles should be shed through the agency of Prussia, it will not suffice to tell Europe of the Prussia, king, or the Prussian minister, or of secret or open couventioos between Primal' and Russia. After all, the King of Prussia is but one Prussian man. He is entitled, as we hasten to say, to every mark of respect to his rank and obedience to his law ful authority ; but there is a point as which eves a King must be disobeyed. The time is goon by when if Kings west mad their people could only weep. There am neer Mom which, according to modern ethics ' justify soy =co. ful interference.
