LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 18. TO'OUR READERS. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. A !ate edition of the Express is published every evening during the racing season, containing the results of the day's races. Sovr ten years sines, when the revolutionary tide of '4B had fallen to its lowest ebb, it was the fashion to believe that constitutional government and Parliamentary institutions had been tried and found wanting, and that Great Britain was des tined to be the sole exception to the European system of administrative and military monarchies. There remained, it is true, two or three small neutral states on the Continent, where legislative Chambers, responsible ministers, and a free press tempered and restrained the authority of the Crown, without disturbing the loyalty of the people ; but those were States preserved from all the winds of change, and from the mounting deluge of deinocrecy, by their happy insignificance, as much as by their domestic virtues, political sobriety, and love of order. Such was the case of Holland, Belgium, and Portugal. In the first of these countries the native good setae and the solidity of the national character were sufficient guarantees against undue excitement, and the comfortable re lations between Krro and people were always proof against the infection of unsound theorise. Under shelter of his dykes the stout Dutchmen pursued his business, and prospered, like a good citizen who neither gives nor takes offence. The neighbouring kingdom, just French enough to feel the advantage of not being part of France, and quite near enough to a KAraur.os to rejoice in being far enough off, clung to its constitution as to the charter of its independence, and made a point of honour of its attachment to an honest and faithful KING. To Portugal the example of her nearest neighbour was not lost, nor the example of England. Of the Scandi navian peoples, it need only be said that their life was easy and uneventful. Greece kept open a petulant little school of public life. Ou the other hand, in Spain the creatures of the court fell sick even of the forms and grimaces of con stitutional government ; while in Prussia the poor KIN,; was half ashamed and half afraid of the shadows he had himself evoked. The rest of the continent was a huge dead wall of despotism ; a cloud of soldiery, gaolcre, and spies, a world of barracks, prisons, and bureaux. Times have changed ; and the tide of freedom has sot in once more. What was reaction at Vienna is now desperation ; what was obstinacy at St. Petersburg is now confusion ; what was resistance at Berlin is now acquiescence ; what was prostration at Paris is now a stirring discontent, and a nervous abdication of omnipotence. But at what a cost has this change in the destinies of Europe been wrought ! At what a cost, we say, to the countries which have patiently endured so long the confisca tion of their rights. At the cost of wars and rumours of wars, of panics, of collapses of credit, of squandered millions, of moral de;radation, of financial cata strophes confessed nither than averted. And, after all, it is to the example of a little state like Belgium that those vain military monarchies which were fain to dispense with paper constitutions and talking par liaments, must need conform at last. Nor I. it to be forgotten that it is, more than aQ to the national life of free, constitutional, par liamentary Piedmont, that oppressed, debilitated, and languishing Europe is indebted for her present eyinptoins of convalescence. Suppose Count C AVOW{ had consented to work out the regeneration of Italy by the sole aid of foreign bayonets, instead of by all the living forces of a free Parliament and press at home; suppose Italy had been the battle field of one military despotism against another ; where weal Italian liberty be now ? And who can doubt that it is free Italy that has given bock freedom to Europe ? Libe.-ty, then, is not a vain word ; it is light, and air, and life. Do arbitrary rulers pause to reflect upon the speeches of their constitutional brethren ? Does FRANCIS J. ongl•H , for instance, care to penise and consider the speech of his intimate family connexion, the pattern constitutional King of the I Does the young tiovinutium who halts for ever between perjury and violence, mark the tone and temper of this royal speech ; the con fiding and even grateful affection, the generous spirit of cooperation, the honest and hearty appeal to the active and kindly support of the Legislature for the advancement of the common cause—the national welfare and the public good t One mar vels at the infatuation of any man condemned from his birth to the trade of monarchy, who does not perceive the advantage of taking his people into partnership. As a matter of mere personal comfort, who would not rather be the constitutional King of the Btulia...es than the Emperor of Avarua? The domestic, peaceable, and unambitious lan guage of tho King of the Betels:4e may be curi ously contrasted with the high Castilian quality of her CATHOLIC MAJESTY'S harangue at the open ing of the Cortes. Queen Ins BELLA, it is well known, is a constitutional sovereign ; nay, the chief of a revolutionary dynasty ; and her present Prime Minister is the successful leader of a midi. Lary revolt. Perhaps, these fact. may account for the eminently conservative temper of the words that fall from the Spanish throne. The tenderand profound veneration for the HOLT Faritea old h Her Ids.imiry, with unquestionable sincerity, professes in the second paragraph of her Speech, is a respectable tradition, and, all ap- THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1861. pearances to the contrary notwithstanding, need not cause a moment's anxiety to the Cabinet of Turin. Her MAJWITY then seta out for the Spanish Main, and performs a series of evolutions in that famous see worthy of the reign of an Ismat.i.i. The Cabinet of Madrid is engaged in carrying out the dictum of Mr. Cassis°, in a convene sense. It is resolved to redress the balance of the Old World, now fallen on evil and revolutionary days, by recalling into existence in the Now the Spain of three centuries ago. The misdeeds of Venezuela are chastised and atoned for ; Mexico is to 'us visited with "salutary rigour." "The Spanish " island, the first discovery of which immortalized " the name of Cotun sus, is once more a part of " the Monarchy." So much for the New World. The weakness of America, it should seem, is the op- portunity of Spain. Nor is this the only tradition of " the Monarchy" which has been revived. A "glorious war" against the Moors has terminated in an embassy of the Emerson's brother to the court of Madrid, and a treaty of peace "in accordance " with the sentiments of the Spanish nation." Thus in the Old World and in the New "the monarchy" is everywhere triumphant and glorious. It is only when her MaJorn turns to home affairs that we get a peep behind the scenes of this brilliant spectacle. At home " grave events" have dis turbed public order. These grave events are revolutionary disturbances. But it must not be supposed that the duo course of law has , been disturbed in their suppression. The or dinary tribunals have sufficed, without courts. martial or fusillades, of which newspaper COM spondents had made mention. And such is the respect of the Spanish Government for law, and even for individual liberty in spite of its ex cesses, that the rest of the Royal Speech is devoted to such questions as the reform of the electoral law, the liberty of the press, and administrative decentralization. To our unromantic and old fashioned notions this part of General O'Denestt's political programme is more gratifying than any amount of chivalrous exploits on the coast of Morocco, or in the' Spanish Main. Perhaps, too, it is not the east difficult to accomplish. The English people unfeignedly rejoice in the reviving power and prosperity of the Spanish Monarchy and nation, and more particularly in the declaration that the state of the Spanish revenue not only requires no new sacrifices from the people, but is more than ade quate to provide for annexations and conquests, and for iron-plated war-ships, and to susta;n the ancient glory of the Spanish flag. The financial condition of the Monarchy, no doubt, is one of spe cial interest in the City of London. But to all Eng land the progress of Spain in constitutional liberty is watched with almost as much solicitude as the safety of the POPE by her CATHOLIC MAJESTY. It is satisfactory to find, therefore, that el en in Spain the blessings of freedom are acknowledged by the Crown. Let us hope that the Liberal party in the Cortes and in the country are strong enough to hold a Palace Minister to his engagements, and—may we add I—to counteract the pious operations of a Sister PATILOCINIO. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom on owl/ PARIS, SUNDA! EVINING. The Patrie says, under the head of "Latest News :" It has been pretended in many quarters that the Swiss Federal Council proposed to submit the question relating to the Napes Va"ey to the powers which signed the final act of the Congress of Vienna. We are enabled, on the best authority, to give a positive contradiction to these rumours. No proposition of the kini his been discussed in the Federal CounciL Switzerland, confiding implicitly in the loyalty of the French government, will endeavour to settle the point in dispute with France direct, and without the mediation of any of the peat powers. The Swim minister at Paris has, with the entire approbation of his government, abstained from taking any steps of a nature to modify even in appearance the direct character of the negotiations be- tween the two (vanities. The question of fact whether the French troops did or did not violate the Swiss territory in the Valley of Dappes is not yet cleared up. It is certain that M. James Fazy will, after all, be elected a councillor of state for Geneva. His friends who resigned because they would not serve without him, have now withdrawn their resigna tions, but only because his successful opponent, K Camperio, seeing the necessities of the situation, has himself resigned. The telegram from Turin, repotting the simul taneous resignation of M. Rataszi of the presidency of the chamber, and that of General Cialdini of Ws command, led to the mistaken impression that they were making a demonstration in concert against M. Ricasoli. Nothing can be further from the truth. General Cialdini objected, for some reason not ex plained, to take the particular command proposed for him, that of the 4th Corps d'Arm6e, but he will continue to serve the state. M Ratazzils re signation is not yet certain, and, at all events, thorn was no hostile understanding against the government by him and Cialdini. - The French war ship L'lnfernal was totally de stroyedby fire in the harbour of Valparaisoon Oct. 1, where she had arrived only two days before. The flames burst forth from between decks in the middle of the day, and got such a head that the fire engines could do no good. Upwards of a hundred cannon shot were fired at the vessel in the hope of sinking her, but, after six hours of useless efforts of all sorts to extinguish the conflagration, it was decided to set fire to the powder magazine, and then the Infernal was blown to atoms in a moment. The explosion shattered a great many windows in the town. The loss is estimated at upwards of two millions and a half of francs (100,0001.). Y. POULD dIrD THS "REVUE DES DEUX MONDtS." Some weeks ago M. de Persigny visited with his 1 auger the Revue des Deux Meader, the leading literary pe. riodical of Francs, foe bath; published some strictures from Y. Pomade, in which the finance question was treated es IL Fold, with the Emperor'■ full approbation, now treats it. In the amber of the /bore des Deus Mondes just issued is an article from the suns writer, from which we give the following extract : "In our opinion the constitutional modification which N. Fogad btu obtained is the most important political pro gress effected in France since 1852, and it is more full of meaning than the famous decree of the 24th of November, which raised so much hope a year ago. Nor can we help being struck by the facility and the good grape with which the Emperor has given in his adhesion to the sound prin. alpka propounded in the document submitted to him by Y. Fould. " There are three things to be examined in the reform just announced ; the circumstances which gave rise to it, the cha racter it pre eats, and the consequences it may lead to. " The circumstanced which decided the Emperor to invest liL Fould with the direction of the finances, and to give up the privilege of opening supplementary and •xtraoedi. nary credits in the intervals of the session, are preciesly those the gravity of which we very lately pointed out. It had been for • long time felt that the financial policy of Francs was not conducted in a spirit of consistency and foresight. It was seen that by the frequency of supple. mentary and extraordinary eredite the serious control of the public finances was escaping the Legislative Corps; that the expenditure was not regulaied with uniformity ; that the liabilitif were incessantly increasing; that the benefits of peace were endangered by the indefinite extension of the floating debt, and by little empirical loans which had the double disadvantage of disclosing to the world the financial distress of ► great country like Fr►nce, and of insufficiency in her embarra:amenta. In its financial management a government like ours, willingly or unwillingly, always exer cises on the totality and morality of financial matters, of commerce and industry, a marked influence. In point of fact, is not the state the greatest banker, the greatest contractor, and the greatest merchant in the nation? In this view are we not all its shareholders? If there be unosrtainty, inconsistency, mismanagement in the direc tion of the public finances, private affairs must feel the effects, and confidence, credit, the great lever of general activity and prospei ity, must be injured. In such a state of things let one of those incidents occur from which no government, however wise and g, is exempt, and we must find ourselves suddenly plunged into • calamitous arida which uses up the best-founded political prestige. Were we exposed to such • danger? Irritation was ex pressed against us when, with conscientious sincerity, with the moderation which we observed iu the discussion of the affairs of the country, we indicated • danger which bad been previously announced by men the most experienced and moat competent in matters of finance and industry. The report of M. Fould now corroborates our opinion. It will be NOD from that report that what we did was tes, state a month earlier what all men of business thought, and what the government now declares to bee fact." The Emperor has placed in the library of the Palace of Compiitne an album presented to him by General de Montauban. It gives views of the Summer Palace of the Emperor of China, engraved by the missionaries. This album is composed of twenty engravings pouted on card board, with margins of silk, and is inclosed in a box, on which a number of Chinese characters are traced. When the Summer Palace was taken possession of by the allied troops, this album fell to the lot of the French commander- The fourth volume of the " Correspondmme de Napoleon I." has just appeared. It contains all the letters written by the greet Emperor between August, 1802, and the end of September, 1803. _ _ _ A letter from Ancona, dated the 12th, says " Victor Emmanuel IL, King of Italy, left Ancona yester day morning, at 7 o'clock, by • special train, which con. rayed him to Turin in time for his diuner in the evening good and faithful city of An cona are Th grieved ePen a p t ie tht i. abrupt h departure, end complain that their Sovereign only ' came to sleep' within their walls. They bad prepared grand balls and other festivities, which, of course, have lost all their attractions without the charm of the royal presence. I heard the very lowest people in the streets distress themselves about the ' alight' which has been put upon their old town ; and the same lamentations, as you know, are made at Florence, at Bologna, at Naples, wherever the early-rising, restless, unwearied King hurries through at his own wild huntsman's speed. His new subjects 4112 never have enough of him. On the other hand, it is im possible not to sympathies with the worried monarch. Playing king is bard work wish him at all times, but • royal program is absolutely killing. Big guns blowing on his face wherever he arrives, blowing hard in his rear at his departure, rolling drums and braying trumpets, the eternal fanfare, or 'Royal March of Savoy,' at every sta tion, at every town gate, at the palace dome, on the palace stain; everywhere rattling muskets, Gapping banners, waving plumes, noise, bustle thronging, pushing, bawling, rearing multitudes—all that is no common trial for the nerves, however firmly strung, of • mere human being." The Paris correspondent of the Brussels Lae pendanee tars that M. Thins has written a strong letter to M. Walewski, pointing out the critical state of the French finances, and recommending M. Vuitry, President of the Section of the Council of State, as being far preferable to M. Fould as the new administrator. This letter was at once shown by M. Walewski to the Emperor. SIR ROBERT PEEL AT BELFAST. (From the Third Edition of the Northern Whig.) BELFAST, SATVIDLT Arrinooti. This morning Sir Robert Peel, Bart., was pre sented with an address from the corporation of Belfast, on the occasion of his first visit to the town in company with Lady Emily Peel and Sir Henry Brownrigg. Amongst those present in the Town Hall were the Marquis of Down shire and a large number of the principal inhabitants of the town. The address was read Iby the town-clerk. It wel comed Sir Robert to Belfast, referred in terms of commend. ation to his conduct while he had been in Ireland, especially to his endeavours for the further development of education, and for making himself acquainted by personal observation with the requirements of the country, and expressed a con fident hope that he would, like his illustrious father, have the satisfaction of receiving the grateful thanks of the country for his enlightened and impartial policy. Sir ROBERT Pin in reply spoke at great length. He announced that he had received many promises of support jor the endowment of a scholarship in the Queen's Uni versity, and mentioned that Mr. Thom, of Dublin, had promised 1,0001., Mr. Maloolnison 6001., and Mr. GLlBlndei 250/. He descanted in warm terms on the recent pastoral of Dr. Cullen, and severely condemned the practice of Roman catholic dignitaries hurling ecclesiastical censures at public men for what they did not agree with in their political life. For himself he waa made of sterner stuff than to heed them. Referring to his late tour in the west he said, although there was distress from the partial failure of the potato crop and the dearness of fuel, there was nothing like a famine, and he declared that the cry of famine had been got up by those who wished to gain pope. lar applause from an affected zeal for the poor. Sir Robert was loudly cheered, and at the termination ot the Address three cheers were given for Lady Emily Peel. MR. BRIGHT, M.P., ON REPOLI,. The following letter has been received from Mr. Bright, by the Secretary of the Glasgow Council of United Trades : Rochdale, Nov. 13,1861. Dear 81r,—I have received your letter with much plea. sure, and I need not tell you that I regard your movement as most important and most wise. It is now nearly throe years sines, on more than one occasion, I advised the own franchised classes to take the coarse which your council has now adopted, a course which, if followed by the trades or ganisation throughout the country, cannot fall to briog about a speedy concession of the suffrage to a very °Dui derable number of those to whom, up to this time, It has been denied. I At this moment there are at least six millions of men in the United Kingdom who have no more political power, through any system of representation, than they would have if they were inhabitants of Russia or Austria; they are more in number than all the men in the new Italian kingdom, and they are purposely excluded from every political fran chise in ► country which professes a great anxiety for the establishment of representative inetititions in other lands. Up to the year 1832, the year of the Reform Bill, the government of England was eatirely in the hands of the territorial aristocracy. They formed, as they still form, the House of Lords; and in the House of Commons they were supreme through the influence of rotten boroughs. The Reform BiU destroyed many of the rotten boroughs, and gave a limited suffrage, and a number of seats to popu lous towns ; it also increased the number of county mem bers, motioning the power of that branch of the repre sentation in the bands of the territorial proprietors by extending the county franchise mainly to the occupying tenants of farms without affording to them the security el the bellot. Looking at the Reform Bill in the moat favourable light, it many boroughs whose population is too smaß to secure their independence : it continued a distribution of seats without any regard to industry, wealth, or population ; and whilst it cut off several channels by which working men enfranchised themselves as freemen in boroughs, it effec tually barred them out from the new franchise it created by the high range of rental in counties and boroughs which it fixed as the line below which the right of voting should not be permitted to dreend. Nearly thirty years have passed since the Reform Bill became law ; and it is, I think, universally felt that the arrangement then made can no longer be defended or main tained. Three whig governments, one coalition govern ment, end one tory government have, within the last ten years, admitted this. fhe Queen has admitted it by express declaration in several speeches to parliament, and by con gesting to the introduction of government bills proposing to extend the franchise to 101. occupiers . in counties, and to 81. occupiers in boroughs. last year, in the session of 1860, a bill was brought in by the present government, proposing a 10/. franchise for counties and a tit. franchise for boroughs. lt was intro duced feebly, and without any apparent earnestness ; and, u it. mutinies did not even prettied that they staked their position as a government on its success, it bad to encounter not only the opposition of its own open foes, but the hos tility of some whoee professions on the hustings are liberal, but who rather retard than urge forward any liberal mea sures itt parliament. The existing constituencies, with all the disadvantages of small and dependent boroughs and nomination oou: c1 :Z returned a majority, at the general election of 18H1, pledged to reform to the extent proposed in the government But reform to any extent, if hated by the tory party, is at least not welcome to some of the whims; and in the absence of dangerous manifestations of impatience on the part of the people, and with an administration not believed to be zealous even for its own measure, parliament thought it as safe as it was pleasant to forget its solemn pledges, and to disregard the just expectations of the nation. The position is this. The Queen has admitted your ease. Statesmen, the most eminent of every party, have admitted it. The existing constituencies have admitted it. The House of Commons has admitted it, for it read a second time, without a division, the bill of 1860. What then is wanting to your success, so far as that measure grunts your claim? Nothing is wanting but your own earnest resolution, ' manifested during a few months of political discussion. I speak to the great uoisufnuichised class, and especially to those resident in towns and villages. You have an organisation, more or less complete, almost everywhere. Cannot this organisation, for a single year, be made an in ointment for your political delis-mace ? le good or bad governineut of no consequence to the millions who toil ? Is representation good in every moonily but in this? Iknow how opinion has grown, and that accident and combination only are wanting to make it an omnipotent force on this question. Accident rarely fails a good cause, sad combine tiou is a weapon that may become invincible in your hands. Your correspondence with the unenfranchised throughout the country will show you how ready your countrymen are to help you. I would advise you to call upon them in every town and io every trade. They will see that the hour is come. And wlidst you manfully assert your right to free citizenship in your own country, there will not be wasting those in classes not now excluded to take you by the hand in a real fellow ship, sod to work cordially with you to throw down a bar rier which is as personally insulting to yourselves as it is iojunous to the country. Wishing you every success in the work you have under taken, I am youre'very truly, JOHN Barony. Mr. Matthew Laurence, Secretary to the Council of United Trades, Glasgow.

The Debate of to-day contains a letter from Turin, in which we read :—" I can give you de tails, which I have reason to believe are correct, relative to the interview which took place the day before yesterday (the 13th) between Baron Ricasoli and M. Rater-Li. The President of the Chamber, after acquainting the President of the Council with the results of his mission at Paris, declared that he was ready to enter the cabinet under his (the baron's) presidency, with the solo condition that the policy adopted be that of Franc... M. Ricasoli expressed his fears that a modification of the cabinet might seem to weaken the attitude which be bad taken upon the Roman question. He added that if the King were to entrust M. Rata:Ad with the formation of the cabinet, he might rely upon his loyal and absolute sup port ; but M. Itataari declared again that in no case would he 111111111116 alone the responsibilities of office—thus refuting the mischievous article of the Pays." PRUSSIA. The Prussian preen continues to discuss w:th much animation the military expenses of the king dom. The Cologne Gazette and the other liberal journals denounce these expenses as being exces sive, and it is thought that unless the cabinet take up the question of retrenchment, the anti-military movement will become anti-ministerial. ELECTORAL lIESSE. In the sitting of the Germanic Diet of the 14th, the representative of Electoral Hesse addressed the Assembly upon the dispute which has existed ea long between the crown and the chambers of that country. It appears that the Baden government has urged the Diet to interfere fur the purpose of patting an end to such a state of things ; but the Hessian envoy declared that the acts of his government were perfectly in accordance with the German law, and sanctioned by the decrees of the Diet itself. The committee on the address in the Belgian Senate terminated ita labours the day that it was appointed, and Y. Fortampe, the reporter, the day alter read, in public sitting, the draught of the document. It is a rather close paraphrase of the royal speech ; but expressed decided ap- probation of the commercial policy eanctioaed by the recent treaty with Frame, and which the inftaded aegotiatioae with England and other states will soon generalise.

THE STRAND MURDER. After the removal of the accused from the Bow-street policecourt back to the station on Saturday, to await the arrival of the police van, it is stated that the father of the wretched youth was permitted to see him in the police cell in the pres,:na: of a constable, and that although he did not heedate coulees that be had strangled his sister, the only motive that he would assign for the commission of so diabolical an act wee, that she had aggravated him to do it. On being left, however, the callous demeanour he had previously ex hibited gave way to a strong paroxysm of grief, and he cned for some time very piteously. It appears, from inquiry in the neighbourhood, that both the parents were dissipated people, and frequently got in toxicated, when they fought terribly ; and that they were, in fact, in that condition when the discovery was made. The accused worked at his father's business of ale eket maker, and was said to be exceedingly industrious, indeed, so mach so, that the business mainly depend e d upon him. He frequently quarrelled with the deceased, who was his half sister, of whom he was exceedingly jealous, as whilst he was cuffed and pushed about, particularly by his step. mother, she wee a peat favourite, and was permitted to ridicule and annoy him with impunity. These are th e on l y motives that can be assigned for the committal of the act. It was generally anticipated that the coroner for Wort. minder, Mr. Bedford, would have opened his inquest on Saturday afternoon, or today, but it appears that it is not to take place until Tuesday afternoon, at two o'clock, when it is to be held at the Vestry Hall of ht. Mary-le. Strand, in New Church-court, Dining Saturday afternoon Mr. Alfree, of King's College Hospital, the medical gentle. man called in to see the deceased, after the discovery, re ceived the coroner's warrant to make a post swrteta exami nation of the body of the deceased and shortly after, ac companied by another surgeon of the institution, he pro. needed to No. 10, Drury-court, for that purpose. A great crowd wee collected, and it required several policemen to keep the narrow clear. The result of their ex amination left no doubt that the deceased had died of suf focation by strangulation. The miserable youth was at the close of the day's proceedings at the police court conveyed to Newgate, until he shall take his trial, and had recovered his unconcerned appearance prior to his arrival at that prison. THE WESTMINSTER MURDER. Our readers will remember that a prisoner named William Maloney was convicted at the September seesioo of the Central Criminal Court of the murder of his wife by stabbing her in the throat with a knife, and he was left for execution, and only respited a very short period before the day fixed for carrying the sentence into effect. The Home Secretary, it appeared, minted the prisoner in consequence of the jury recommending him to mercy on the ground that they believed the act was not premeditated, and that the deed was committed under the influence of some sudden provocation and quarrel ; and as the respite was not fur any specified period, but during her Majesty's pleasure, there was of course no chance of the •tal punishment being indicted, a and it would seem thatco • e difficulty has been c with the authorities at the Home-office as to the course that should be Argued in the matter. It will be seen that a very oosidersble delay ham already taken place with regard to the disposal of the prisoner —much longer than usual—and it appears that a day or two ago Mr. Jonas, the Governor of Newgate, went to the Home-office for the of ascertaining what was intended to be d ose , an d rwrs e informed that no decision had yet been arrived at. The culprit himself still remains in Newgate, and he con tinues to assert, as he did from the first, that he is per fectly innocent of the charge of murder ; and that his wife, in the came of a quarrel that took place between thew, suddenly snatched the knife from the table where they were at dinner, sad inflicted the mortal injury upon her self. This statement of the prisoner, it will be remembered, was very drawly borne out by the evidenoe of the surgeon who wee examined at the trial, who stated that the wound was undoubtedly of a suicidal character, or one seltintlicted, and was quite as likely to have been so caused as by the act of mother person. The vase is altogether one of a very peculiar character, and an impression appears to prevail in the minds of the authorities that it is not improbable that her Majesty's clemency will be extended to the prisoner, and that he will receive a fres pardon. THE MURDER OP !HR _GAMEKEEPER NEAR oiLzi CAPTURE OF THE MURDERER. After having eluded the vigilance of the police for twelve days, James Waller We poacher, of &ildm Moor, has bun arrested not far tram the scene of the mur der of William Smith, otherwise Davey, gamekeeper for Timothy Houten, Fag., of Hawksworth Hall, with which murder Waller stands charged. He was found by a party of the West Riding constabulary a little after four o'clock yesterday (Sunday) moruing, concealed in a barn belonging to Mr. Holmes, farmer, at Elwick, about two miles from Bingley, and on the border of Rombalds Moor. Ever sines the murder a considerable number of constables, in smell detached parties, and dressed in plain clothes, had kept strict watch night and day in the district for miles rotted Waller's home, with the object of preventing his escape ; and many barns and farmers' outhouses had been searched by them in the course of that time. Yesterday morning, while diligently prosecuting their search, different parties ci constables met at Elwick, and at the hour above-named a few of them entered Mr. Holmes' barn, while the rest waited outside. The barn contains a bay mow, and the hay is so placed as to leave a narrow space between it and the wall of the building. In turning over and groping about the hay, something like a human being WU felt in the apaos referred to, whereupon Sergeant Sedgwick, of the Huddersfield division of constabulary, supposing it to be Weller, called upon him to come out. The supposition proved to be correct. Waller raised his band and desired that he might be pulled out of his hiding place. This was quickly done. He was found to be iu a very exhausted state, and made no ie , istauce. Indeed be would have been almost incapeble of doing so had he been inclined to struggle and tight with his captors. He had 16s.td. in money, and a pocket-knife in his possession, but no firearms nor other weapon. He was taken to Baildon, where a cab wes procured, in which he was reniovai with out delay to the Keighley lock-up. It is probable he will be brought before the Bingley bench of magistrates to-day; hut u the usual petty sessions will be bold un Tuesday, it is not unlikely that he will be remanded till that day. It is stated that Waller was dressed ••• described in the placards an nouncing the reward of 751. for information as to his where abouts, but he had got his whiskers shaved off. The night before be was taken some of the constables scathed a barn in the same neighbourhood, and found a mark as if a man lad been lying down. It is supposed that Waller lad been here, and had been disturbed. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AND PROBABLE LOSS OF LIFE. On Saturday morning an alarming fire broke out at Mr. Clifford's, John's-court, West Smithfield. The inmates were aroused by the cracking of wood, and on opening their bed-room door, found the first-door on fire. They Menially raised an alarm and sent for the eng ines. In the meantime, Mr. Clifford w mex t r i es t ea l kcal hiebed much burnt. He was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he now remains, without the slightest hopes of re covery. With a good supply of water the engines got to work, but the fire was not subdued until considerable damage was dose. The fire was caused by sinekiug in bed. Another tire, of a most alarming character, broke out oil the homestead of James Marshall, f armer , Sl:Lindland farm, Hendon. The engines from King-street, Baker-street, and Wellastreet, were quickly on the spot, but the fire was not extinguished until some bay-ricks were destroyed, supposed to be the act of an incendiary. Yesterday a fire took place in the premises belonging to Mr. H. Gupp, a cabinet maker, &c., carrying on business at No. 20, Crown-row, Mile-end-road. As the Watling-street engine was going at a rapid pace along the road, one of the wheels got into an opening caused by the continued tratfic along the thoroughfare, awl the bumping of,tho enginecau,d the driver, a men named John Langston, to fall bead fore most between the horses. He was removed to the hoodoo Hospital, but bas sustained such serious injuries that he is not expected to recover. The flames could not Le Qbdil•d until the premises in which the disaster commenced were burned down, and the private dwelling-house and contend 'severely daniaged by tire and water. No. 19, in the woo street, belonging to Mr. J. Bry, is also damaged by the Ils.tv removal of the furniture, &o. Mr. Gupp was fortunately insured in the Atlas Fire-Aloe • and Mr. Bothell, the n° lessor of lessee, was quickly in d tenilance take charge of the salvage. The other MOOD will fall upon the ?boom Fire-office. Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, as a youth of the name of Young was deliveriog a newspaper at a shop opposite St. Matthew 'e Church, Oakley-ammo, he as' Maimed by seeing a large quantitv of smoke issuing from tbo winclowt of the sacred eddies. He immodiately ran to the police.station of the S division, Pratt-street, where a number of men were preparing to start off on day duty. Upon the Acting luspector Serjeant Conway being told that the church was ou fire, he sent off the entire body to the spot, who it was soon found that there was a fire raging newr the Communion table. The serjeant was followed by Inspector Gibson, and in • few minutes lw the parish engine from the workhouse. The police scoff not allow any door of the sacred building to be opened ha the arrival of the engine. Upon that being in maw.. and there being • good supply of water, the hose was applici to the spot where the fire was raging, which was adjonnbr the pulpit. The progress of the destructive element Ira promptly arrested and and shortly after the arrival of no engines, front Crown-street and Holborn, was entirely er tiuguislied, but not before several of the pews and raja t h ' flooring were consumed. The fire is supposed to Lave leo caused by overheating the underground pipes nod dues 1 , 1 warming the church. A sermon was to have been preached the same forenoon in the church by the Rev. Ur. Cbamp aeya, on behalf of a fund, which is in enema of oollecueu. the repairs of the sacred edifice. The damage done e'Ll entail a considerable additional expense.
