The guilt or innoesase of a teem awned et • great crime is certainly one of the graved questions which can be dammed. The law has surrounded the accused with every conceivable protection. Before the final trial his guilt must be deemed pea bade by the Magistrate, as well se by the Greed Jury. Before he is found guilty twelve im ;artist men and the Judge—a high judicial officer of great experience —asst under the most solemn obli gations and in the face of the public practically *ow cur in the verdict. Moreover, up to the scent judgment is pronounced, it has long been the pow tire for the public journals to avoid disclaim' in order to avoid prejudging the case. It mesa therefore. impossible to my that ea messed man, who her enjoyed all theme Wean tare, can complain of a denial of justice. It night indeed seem superfluous to recall practices so ootor.ous.

It ia sorely hardly aseesem to observe that nn rational being can desire the death of the owtsitt nate ass who Iwo in plus. saavisted of wilful murder. Iternarke apes the huts disclosed is evidence should ocesaios so sash iwpsdatioe. The eireuenatances of hie crime were Bette of notoriety, and farn lased an obv toes subject for almost every macho journal the morning after the verdict wee delivered. If nothing more had been said upon the subject, it certainly would not have been revived in those columns. But a very diffrrent coons has bon pa. rued. The grossest abuse has ',owl poured apes the Judge, urn the Jury, and upon the ‘vitnesere foe the prosecution; whilst an evening contemporary has even Ventured to &emit that the HOME SEcaa. Tilt has been called upon to execute the sentence merely because such an exhortation was found a con. venient topic for as article in these dull times. The reasons for calling attention to this remarkable case were very different. It we abundantly clear that the journalists who Unpaved the verdict had not read the evidence as it appeared, and the most cur. sory perusal of the lemon of correspondents established the same fact. Thus it is constantly said that no poison was found in the body—s statement probably derived from the mistake of the Voles— although it was distinctly proved that arsenic was found in one evacuation, and a certain quantity of antimony in the body itself. Moreover it is certain that no oluestion was raised.' to tampering with the parts of the body analysed, though it is equally cer tain that had it been passible to raise any such question, the opportunity would not have been missed by the most able and irgeniona advocates of the primer. And yet this matter is now made a subject of serious discussion by the advocates of Dr. Again it ham been asserted more than once that the Jury were browbeaten by the Judge, sad that the verdict use not their verdict, but his. A letter, however, is now published, by which it distinctly appear, that even before the Judge began to ens up the evidence eleven of the Jurymen were agreed as to the guilt of the prisoner. In short, since the con clusion of the trial no single fact has been brought forward which was not fully considered by the Jary, and it is remarkable that whilst a large majority of three who have written letters upon the subject do not venture to say that they believe in the prisoner's innocence, none of them have had the knowledge or the candour to state all the facts that were proved. It moms that the case is now under the considers. tins of the Judges, and some alarm appears to be felt in certain quarters lest public discussion should pre judice the minds of these high °Sons against the conv:ct. Are we then to suppose that the Judges of the land are incapable of detecting the fallacy of any argument on such a subject, or so weak as to be unable to withstand • senseless clamour either in favour of, or against the prisoner ?The Ifoue Saco!. 'CARY and his saaeseas may safely be left to de their duty. But the opponents of capital punish ment must not suppose that they are to have all the discussion to themselves. They must to reminded that • most eminent Judge end twelve rational men, acting under the most solemn senction,have found Tnom S METIII:RST guilty of the crime of slow poisoning, and that, upon the unanimous evidence of the three medical men who saw the de-reseed during her life, confirmed by the whole circumstances of the case, and by the fact that poison was actually found in her body. For five whole days this trial vest no. There was not the slightest hurry, and the prisoner had every possible &deans tar that a prisoner could have. The proceedings were published from day to day, and even during the trial scientific evidence was voluntarily tendered on behalf of the practise', and was received.

Ism innocence of the prisoner. It is too late, therefore, to listen to medical end scientific men who now come forward to explain Miss RANKES'S death by natural causes. Nor is it possible to suppese that responsible men will endure to have the solvent decision of • Jury set aside by the clamour of anonymous COMO rposands in the columns of a newspaper. Life and death are matters too serious to be determined before such a tribunal. The crime of which the prisoner has been found guilty it is impossible to exceed in atrocity. It is incredible that either the Judge or the Jury would have adopted the opinion which they did unless they had been firmly convinced of Dr. Siesznuitire% guilt. It is difficult, after care fully considering the evidence, sot to agree with the judgment ; and if such be the opinion of the autho rities to whom an appeal for mercy is likely to be made, we cannot doubt that, considering the position of the criminal as • reedisal man, the subtle character of the crime of secret poisoning, and the peace and comfort of society, the responsible Minister of the Crown, in what he dose, will act with courage and consistency. If there be • reasonable doubt as to Dr. Sturm:lnes guilt, let him at ones be released; if there is not, let him suffer the extreme penalty of the law. Irbt Court. 08801111. /kraus? 24.

BBILNI, WZDNIMIDAT, ACOVIIT St. According to intelligence received from Zurich the French and Austrian plenipotentiaries have regu lated the settlement of the affairs of Lombardy with the consent of the Sardinian plenipotentiary. This arrangement is expected to be confirmed by the dif ferent sovereigns. The affairs of the Duchies will be treated of directly between the courts of Paris and Vienna. Yesterday the plenipotentiaries of Frames and Austria held a conference, which lasted two hours. DENMARK. COPSNMAGEN, TEVISDAT. The Faederlandet of this day says :—" It is tree that Hanover has proposed to the Federal Diet that steps should be taken in the affairs of Holstein Lauenburg, but its proposals hays not been sup ported. Till now, neither Austria nor Prussia have applied for information at Copenhagen respecting this affair." that it was the intention of the government that the amnesty should apply to all socusations as well as all condemnations, The only favourable infernos, therefore, to be drawn from this case is that the government will, in all probability, not press the l law of public safety against any of the amnestied, l but this yet remains to be officially announced.

Within a week at the latest the Duchies of Parma and Modena, and the Romagna as well, will have given their national vote against the restoration of their evicted governments, and it requires no augury to be able to p redict the unanimity of that vote in each and all o f the countries named, where the peo- ple will declare by acclamations the annexation of their country to Piedmont under the constitutional sway of Victor Emmanuel. The unanimity of the votes in the Tuscan assembly is a most notable feet, when we remember that mast of the deputies have always professed very moderate sentiments, and that the two propositions for the abolition of the Lorraine dynasty and the annexation of Tuscany to Pied mont were brought forward by persons whose families were most sincerely attached to the Prince and his house, and who filled the highest stations at court. In the Duchy of Parma there were scene trifling differences of opinion, which ended, however, in confirming the principle of annexation, a prin ciple that now prevails in Italy. Piacenza and Parma, frontier cities and of equal importance, have always been rivals, and even now they seem to be threatened with disunion and discord. Piaceeza wished to join Modena and share her destinies; but at Parma some politicians judged it more prudent to separate the fortunes of their little State from those of its neighbour, alleging that in the preliminaries of peace at Villafranca no decision in point of fact was come to respecting the Duchy of Parma. The people there do not trouble themselves about this nice dis tinction. The two municipal councils of Piacenza and Parma, which were recently appointed by what was almost universal suffrage, have mutually and unanimously decreed the union of the two countries with the Duehy . of Modena, inviting Cavalier Fariai to amine the reins of government. Before many days are over the four Italian pro vanes will, I have reason to believe, officially declare their vote to Napoleon 111., as they will to the King Victor Emmanuel. Napoleon will speak them fair, but nothing more. What will the Xing of Pied mont do, or to speak more correctly what will his ministers constitutionally advise him to do P One thing is certain, that his Majesty will not reject the offer, but accept it provisionally, making an appeal ic the meantime to Europe, and remitting the deci sion to a European congress. Such was the line of conduct contemplated a few days ago. There is some hesitation now, and they are thinking of expe dients. It would be desirable, they imagine, if those provinces were to appoint a regent who should introduce the Piedmontese codes of law pending the conclusion of the conferences at Zurich, and they apprehend an irraption into Lombardy on the part of Austria, in ease the vote of the people should be accepted here. In the meantime, Prince Po niatowski has gone to Florence, on a special mis sion from Prints Napoleon. The son-in-law of the King wishes the Tuscans and the other provinces to elect him as their temporary regent, to rule in the name of the King of Piedmont. The proposal is singular; the people will at least wish to be assured that the Emperor is acquainted with the plan, and that he approves of it. Unfortunately the Prince is not held in very high estimation in Tummy, where he spent the greater part of his youth. The Assembly at Florence is not going to make any useless speeches, and lest it should displease the Emperor, who hoe no great love for parliaments, will adjourn sine die till better times come round. The mission of the Count de Reiset appears to be at en end. He came to recommend the reiteration of the princes and to study the country. He began everywhere by using strong language, and giving it to be understood that - French garrisons were very shortly to be introduced. By degrees, either from the pithy answers he received, or from the unprecedented facts he wit geona, his walls became benignant, and there was no further mention of French /anisette, From all this, what is left for us to hope ? Perhaps there is to be no restoration of the fallen dynasties, and perhaps no annexation of those provinces to Pied mont. Such, at least, is the conviction of many. But as I was conversing yesterday with an eminent statesman, who knows several state-secrets touching Sardinian diplomacy, I found to my amazement that he confidently believed in the annexation. I observed to him that it was not Austria alone that would oppose the formation of a large and powerful king dom in Italy, but he interrupted me, and said : "I fully understand what you mean; for all that, I hold it for certain that in the defensive treaty con cluded some months ago between France and Pied mont there is a clause stipulating that in case of war against and victory over Austria Piedmont should be enabled to extend her territory until she ob tains a population of about twelve millions. Now, by the union of the Italian central provinces the sub jects of Sardinia would not be greater, but still lees, than the contemplated total." A. • THE MASSACRE OF PERUOIA.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (rear ova ow 00111■SPONDINT.] PARIS, IWIDNIIIDAY EVINTNO. A despatch from Berne of this day's date states that the French and Austrian plenipotentiaries have " regulated the affair of Lombardy with the con sent of the Sardinian plenipotentiaries." This is a considerable step, although the least difficult one. If the telegram may be relied upon as literally and entirely true, it follows that the important question of the proportion of the debt of the Austrian empire which Lombardy is to bear, has been settled as well es the boundary line between Lombardy and Venal& The concluding part of the telegram states that the affairs of the Duchies will probably be treated of directly between Paris and Vienna. The inference is that the Zurich Conferences are substan tially over. The Petrie, notwithstanding the disavowal which it has been obliged to chronicle, from authority, con tinues to advocate its own opinions with much man liness. The fact that the legitimist and jesuitical organs (the Univers, Union, and Gazette de 11 , anee) now use the same arguments as the Pays, enables the Patrie to speak with considerable freedom with out appearing to go directly in the teeth of the go vernment. The Gazette proposes in so many words that the recent elections in Central Italy shall be act aside and new ones had under the " protection " (!) of 80,000 French bayonets, " which will very readily neutralise the image of Garibaldi and his fanatical soldiers." " 80,000 troops," exclaims the Paris, " almost as many bayonets as voters. It is well that the confession is made that the 1) cannot be restored except by force. If this is what is meant, there is an end to discussion. How much misunderstanding might be avoided by speaking out plainly r The Pays, in an article somewhat more moderate than those which it has lately publiahed, argues that if, which it takes toe granted will be the case, the King of Sardinia refuses to aeoept the annexation of Central Italy, there will be a dead lock which must nsessearily lead to the restoration of the Dukes without any recourse to at The Tuscan army, it mays, ►lthough it may raise impediments to a par ticular solution of the difficulty, is powerless to enforce any. It cannot make war upon the King of Sardinia to force him to accept the sovereignty of the country, nor can it compel any other prince who may be elected to accept the vacant inheri tance of the house of Lorraine. The deliberations of the Tuscan Assembly, there fore, only raise difficulties, and the Pays holds that these difficulties are increased by opposition to the return of the princes. This article, in all proba bility, furnish,' a key to the tactics of the French government, which are by extreme pressure upon the King of Sardinia to bring about a state of things in Central Italy which may afford a pretext for its premeditated intervention. The Patriot has an article on " The amnesty sad law of public safety," in which it expresses the opinion which I have already stated to be the pre valent one, that an amnesty, importing (according to the Greek derivation of the word) entire oblivion or the offences covered by it, all the individuals to whom the amnesty of August 16 applies must in point of law be deemed and taken never to have been "condemned," intermit," expelled," nor " trans ported,"end that consequently the law of public safety cannot touch them. The Patrie however admits, and indeed puts forward, as the reason for its present article that " doubts have arisen in certain minds'. about the matter. This is just what I insisted upon two days ago. These doubts cannot be solved by the Patrie, which but yesterday was compelled to say that the liottitenr is the only organ of the government. The Memiteur must speak before this question can be considered as cleared up. Yesterday, at the Tribunal of Correctional Police, the public prosecutor announced that he had re ceived instructions to discontinue all political pro- secutions commenced prior to the amnesty. The Preste cites this incident as an " indirect con firmation" of its arguments touching the law of public safety. I cannot follow this rea soning. If the ease were in point at all— which I think it is not—it cats rather the other way. The Advocate• General stated to the court that it would have been his duty to have gone on with the promotion, but that he had aeoextained TO TO EDITOR OP TEI =PAM.
