LONDON, THratiDAT, APRIL 8. not trial of the Bev. Sam= Ilmrnt and his wigs st Gloucester far a murderous saesult on Joie Luce, though divested of much of its mys tery by the full and, we are inclined to think, sab ota•tfelly truthful statement of the male priesaw, still TlMollilli one of the most singular in the recent annals of crime. Coupling the otationsmt of the principal culprit with the evidence adduced at the trial, it is not difficult to arrive at something like • connected narrative of the main facts of this re markable Noe. In 1846, JOHN LEECH, the prosecutor, wee a light porter in the employ of Memrs. Savior and EDOAI, the well-known linendrapers. In the December of that year, the female prisoner, whose maiden name was SARAH ki tu.s, and who ass thee about 17 years of age, became a servant in the 11111111atablielt meet. She remained in the Navies for abut two years. In September, 1848. vitas she weep still with Mews. Swim and Emus, she Asst met her gesseat husband. Sumer. BY= was at that time as undergraduate at Cambridge. His father was Visor of Sod bury I the family was a nynisrons one, and boa his 16th year, wording to his own statement, the pri soner had supported himself by hie own exertions. The Cambridge student fell in love with the girl, and offered to marry her as soon es his cireumetanom would permit. She left her situation, and established herself in lodgings in the Tottenksar-ecortuarl. Sem returned to Cambridge, when be hid pre viously pined a scholarship, and went out as a senior optima in the ensuing examination. Luca, who, before his acquaintance with WAX MILLS commenced, was engaged to a yang women whom he subsequently married, continued to visit his former fellowarreet in Tottenham. mart-road. On one of these occasions—the Good Friday of 1849—Mr. SMITH was pointed oat to him under somewhat paella eirannstances. Lance was going oat with SARAH Meta for a walk, and SinTli was pacing backwards and forwards opposite her lodgings. When they returned he was still' engaged, in the same manner, and the girl then in formed her companion that he was a gentlemen from Cambridge, who was anxious to pay his addrams to her. Lazar knew this before. For some smiths he continued his visite until in the sonemer of 1849, he found that Beams Mau bed ene• denly left her quarters. In the July of test year she had been privately married to &EMIL SMITH, at St. Pancras Church, and they had both gobs together to her friends in Kent. Sierra had jest before obtained • Mastership at the Bishops' School at Bristol, but the salary, which was only 1001. s year, did not enable him to avow his marries IR support his wife. He Greeters, after the bigot era fortnight, left her with hes friends in Kent, age ing to pay for her board. Lawn found out wham she wee, wrote to her, and received an incitation to join her at Canterbury. Aecording to his evidence at the trial, Brae Mn.ta ea this occasion declared to his that her husband bad deserted her, that he Ins adeavouring to prove the marriage invalid, and that her friends were seeking legal advice on tide point with • view of keeping him to his exitme4 l It is only fair to SAiUCL Sets to say that this part of the case is supported by no evidence except that of Lazar, who merely professes to repeat the 'tannest' of the wife. It is inconsistent with most of the proved facts, which all show substantial kindneme on the part of the husband, and with the iepoeted confession of the wife, which attributes the notion of her having been forsaken by Baum to the interested repre sentations of Duce. What follows is only too clear. LRICH met her at Canterbury 1 at his solicitation they went to Whitstable toptlise, bbd there indulged in adulteress intercourse, wide wag frequently repeated after Mrs. Sartre's reins to London. Laren, dune, this stay in Look" promised, if she woad asse and live with hinb that in seven years be trout marry her. Whitstable visit was is eaglet, 1849, rely OW month after her marriage: their last interview IS London was in December, 1849. About that ties Mrs. Serra went to reside in Bristol, living irr patently in lodgings with her husband, bee we paming far his wife. In 1880, and again in 1861, she appears to have renewed her correspondence with Luce, and in one of these letters described hersollsol apprenticed to a milliner in Bristol. In 1882, Luc% who had prospered in the world, and become wire he oil is, a road contractor, married the gir whoa he lied been previously engaged, end from that time until the present year all intsmieures his haw mistress amour to have eiseed. These &bine were born to the Bums : in 1881. in 188, and 1884. The dist two were born in Kink where Mrs. SMITH was then begun tly in the habit of making keg visite to her friends. Deere the birth of the last, Serra took a bass sad armor lodged his wife. Shortly afterwards be left the Bishops' College, and set up • school a his own.

" jealousy. But he overlooked it, IS 11110 COM. " tinned to bear him children, and managed the "home well." At length, on the 211nd of January last, the revelation came. The unhappy woman, with a cruel candour, eased her own removes by making a full confession to her husband, and, with her children round her, on her knees implored his forgiveness. He promised it on one condition — she shaald make herself the instrument of his ven geance on the adulterer : ss Luca had lured her to Whitstable for the gratification of his passion, so she should lure him to Yate, for the purposes of her husband's revenge. The woman promised and per hrmed. The plan was at mice concocted. On the very next day there was written, under the hus band's dictation, the first of those three letters with which the public is familiar, informing Lea= that Saturn wee deceased, and that his old mistress passionately desired a renewal of the old intercourse. This was on the 23rd of January. The day for which the meeting was finally fixed, and on which the murderous smolt took place, was the 3rd of February. Swiric declares, in hie defence, that hie purpose in assign ing the rendezvous was only to avenge himself by inflicting severe personal chastisement on the man who had wronged him. It is rather inconsistent with this statement, that, on the very day before, he should have taken care to provide himself with a six-barrelled revolver, which we picked up ready capped and loaded on the scene of the deadly assault. The remaining facts of the case are too fresh in the public recollection to need or even to bear repetition. The meeting of Mrs. Suns and her old paramour at the railway station, the glimpse caught by LEECH of the husband while waiting for the train, the pitch-black night, the wild common, and the murderous waffle in the dark, are too firmly impressed on the popular imagination to be easily forgotten. Sach is this singular cue. Let it at ono be ad mitted that the principal offender (in a legal, though not, perhaps, in a moral sense) is in many respects an object of pity. Yielding to • rash passion, he had made an alliance at once below his station and above has means. It is creditable to him that he seems to have honestly accepted the responsibilities he had thus entailed on himself. Just u better days were dawning, when the passion for the mistress had merged into a more enduring attachment for the mother of hic children and the active manager of his household, be learnt for the first time, that the woman for whom he had borne so much, and perhaps renounced me much, had been repeatedly false to him. True, if the wife's statement were to be believed, the last instance of infidelity was of no recent date. Bat could bar state ment be implicitly believed? Were those children his? Had she really renounced the puska she pro hued to hel reasons for ? He would at once put her to the proof and gratify his own revenge. This (and it le not without some weight) is what may fairly be urged in extenuation of his offence. On the other hand, hare is a Christian minister, an educator of youth, a man bound by position, and, it might have been hoped, taught by religion, to restrain the ammo of revengeful passions, 000lly and deliberately planning, through the instrumentality of his wife's shame, a dark and secret scheme of vengeance. He mends lying letters ; he arms himself with the deadliest weapon' ; for ten days he nurses his fell purpose, and at last he is kept from murder rather by the superior strength of his adversary than by any exercise of self-restraint. If Joni Lazes had perished under his bludgeon or by his revolver, could the crime of SAMUEL Swint have been redued below murder P It is impossible to ignore these considerations ; it would be dangerous not to give them due weight. The sentence of four years' penal servitude is undoubtedly severe, but, under the circumstances, we are maroely prepared to say that it is too severe. It is im possible not to feel that the woman and her paramour are, in a moral point of view, not lees blameable than the husband ; but the administrators of the criminal law meet mete out punishment ac cording to the fixed standard of legal retribution. In its moral aspect, the cue is bat a new illustration of the old truth that " out of our pleasantest sins the Gods make sourges to afflict us." It is an in structive example of the disorders arising from law less lore, and of the misery that too often results trees ill-assorted unions. MUTILATIONS. An opportunity is now offered, of which those excellent persons who demand belief for unanthenti- Wed rumours of mutilations perpetrated by Sepoys upon English women should be swift to take advan tage. There is an obvious difficulty in asking " E. E. C.," " An Indian Meer," or any other news paper correspondent, to satiety public incredulity by naming a living person who has suffered muti lation, but this is now unnecessary. At the meeting of the Town Council of Edinburgh, on Tuesday, the Lord Provost of that city announced that " he had been requested to state that a benevo lent lady was ready to grant an annuity to any lady who might have suffered mutilation during the late unfortunate occurrences which had taken place in India. This was the second application which he had had to know if he could point out any lady in Edinburgh who was in these circumstances. He bad made every inquiry in his power, but he had not been able to find out anyone who would be en titled to the annuity. But if any individual in Edin burgh knew any lady who had suffered mutilation in India he would be glad to receive a oomniunleation as the subject, and to be the medium through which the lady's benevolence should be dispensed." Probably the Lord Provost would deem requisite something more taible than the assurance of as informant that he h ad" heard of a letter" describing ' the case, or that " his daughter wrote some time ago from India" of a fearful mutilation. But any really credible evidence would doubting, be deemed suffi cient to reedy the liberal purpose which dictates this offer, which, we submit, is such a challenge as those who have assured the public that mutilations were within their knowledge cannot ignore.

PARIS, WIDMISDAY EVIIIING. This morning, previously to presiding at a council of ministers, the Emperor received at the Tuileries directors of all the principal railway lines. Some measures, intended to give a fillip to basins, are still expected, although serious objections have been raised to all the expedients hitherto suggested. The Bourse has been even more depressed than on Monday and Tuesday. The Relate fell 10c. for cash and 15c. for account, closing at 89fr. 36e. and 89fr. 40c. Mobilier fell 18fr. 23c. The Orleans Railway declined 16fr. ; Eastern, 7fr. 600. ; North ers, 6fr. ; Lyons, 3fr. 76c.; and Southern, 2fr. 50c. Western remains without change. The Imperial Prince being now upwards of two years old, the loyal senators think it is high time to provide him with a separate establishment ; and a " project of dotation " is on the tapis. Count Waleweki's grand fancy ball, which was postponed on account of Orsini's execution, came off last night with great éclat. The Emperor and Empress and the Princess Mathilde were there in disguise. About 800 persons were present. To morrow Count Walewski gives a diplomatic dinner to the Duke of Malakoff, who will positively leave for London on April 12. M. Boittelle, the new Prefect of Police, has selected M. Barrault de Saint Andre the Sub- Prefect of Joigny, for his private secretary. The following highly-flavoured specimen of the flattery which is thirsted after by the present Sovereign of France, is extracted from an article in the Pays, en the opening of the Boulevard de Sebastopol: The him= mind is overawed at the sight of these immense works, which were thought to be utterly haps eible in these days, and the secret of which ft wee supposed belonged to antiquity. Ftve years since one would have said that the wonders of peace in New Franco could never equal the wonders of war. But Napoleon 111. gives to France every sort of glory amidst the plaudits of the world, asto nished at the prodigies accomplished by this intelligent will. Its announced that the Neapolitan government is about to send a memorandum to its representatives at foreign courts in answer to the Sardinian note on the affair of the Cagliari. The astounding mistake of an attaché of the British embassy at Turin, in con sequence of which the Sardinian government was left for two months under the erroneous impression that England was prepared to support the demand of Piedmont for the restitution of the ship, makes a great sensation here. Madame Ristori makes her first appearance for the season this evening in her old part of Medea. On Friday she will, for the first time, play Lady Macbeth—a performance which is looked forward to with intense curiosity. The Tribunal of Correctional Police of Nevers (Niivre), three days ago, tried two men, named Buzelen and Simonnin, for having on the 11th January last, made use of seditious language to the effect that "before long there would be a grand political disturbance, and then things would go better." The tribunal condemned the former to six months' imprisonment, the latter to one, and each besides to 600 fr. fine. It afterwards condemned another man named Rivaillon to forty days' impri sonment and 600 fr. fine, for spreading false news. The same tribunal, the day after, tried six other men for having, before the attempted assassination of the Emperor, announced that it was to take place, and was " concocted in England;" and for having used seditious language. One was sentenced to a year's imprisonment and 60fr. fine; two to six months' imprisonment and 500 fr. fine; one to three months and the same fine; and the other two were acquitted. FLIGHT AND PURSUIT OF THE ENEMY FROM LITCKNOW. The following telegram, from her Majesty's Acting Consul-General in Egypt, was received at the Foreign•office, via Corp, April 7, 6.30 p.m. : APRTL 3, 1858. The steamer Candi* arrived at fines yesterday from Calcutta; the steamer Oriental, from Bombay, has arrived at Aden ; and the Candi* brings the following news, obtained from that vessel : Luaricow.—Oeneral Outram crossed the Ooomtee on the 6th of March.

The General and Staff arrived on the 10th, and remain in that neigh bourhood. General Roberts's force has pulsed Numeerabad on its way to Kotah, where the rebels are said to be in strength. The Sultan of Adhiee, a town twenty miles from Aden, having stopped and prevented supplies from entering the fort, the Brigadier commanding Aden garrison went ont on the morning of the 18th March with a force of 600 men and two guns, and after a skirmish with the Arabs, succeeded in bringing them to terms. The Arabs are laid to have lost between twenty sad thirty men, without a casualty on our aide. When the Candia left Aden all was quiet, and the natives had again been received within the walls. Her Majesty's ship Cyclops left Men for Sties on the 24th ultimo. Her Majesty's ship Pylades left Madras for Suez on the 18th ultimo. Corfu, April 7, 11 a.m. JOHN GREEN. We (Timer) have received the following telegram from our correspondent at Malta: " MALTA, Aram 7, 2 P.K. " By the Candia, which arrived at Saes on the 29th alt., we have advice@ from Bombay of Marsh 18; Calcutta, 8 ; Hong Kong, 27. The latest news from Lucknow is to the morning of the 16th of March. Nearly all the city was then in our poems sion, but few rebels remaining in it.

The government of St. Petersburg has just re ceived from the governor of the Russian possessions on the river Amur a very favourable report on the military and commercial situation of the vast territory which bee been there definitively annexed to the Russian empire. The extensive works of fortification of Nicolaieff, which is destined to become, in C 490 of need, the centre of opera tions against China, have not been interrupted by the winter, which is very mild in those countries. Formidable batteries have been raised at the month of the Amur, so as to be able to defend the entrance against hostile fleets. Commerce during the last year has acquired an unexpected de gree of development. A number of German, Ameri can, and Chinese merchants have formed establish ments in the town, and a regular line of steamers has been established between Nicolaieff and San Francisco.
