Tug public has now the Eerzaos's Letter in its entireness, and can observe not only the im pressions which the Imperial writer desires to pro duce, but the means on which he relies to attain his end. We say what every Englishman feels when we express a fervent wish that every cause of that mistrust which the EMPEROR rightly recognises may be completely removed. But, if this is pouible, it can only be by speaking the whole truth. Neither self-delusion nor hollow compliment is now in season ; and we fear the EMPEROR is not well founded in the expectation that a conversation with Lord Pm.merurrox, however frank, will remedy the evil. It is in no spirit of reproach that we remind the Mormons that the complica tions and universal mistrust of which he complains are the very circumtsances which Lord Jong Rt;asr.u. pointed out to him in the frankest manner, before it was too late, as the consequences of that policy of aggrandisement and aggression which he announced by the annexation of Savoy and Nice, and the theory of which he obtrudes once more in this very letter when he permits himself to claim a people living happy and contented under a neighbour ing Sovereign as " essentially French." Until the perpetration of that act, rendered still more alarmin by the despatches of M. THOUVENEL by which it was defended, and which contained the germs of new demands, it was possible to ascribe the imputa.ious raised by a portion of the foreign preen against the policy of the Empire to prejudice or malevolence but that is possible no longer. The Moreau& declares that, since the Peace of Villafranca, he has bad but one thought, one object—to inaugurate a new era of peace, and to live on the best terms with his neighbours, and especially with England. We believe it. Every government wants peace. But some governments value it so much that they are ready to make sacrifices for it, and leave untried no effort consistent with honour. Have we found any such disposition on the part of the French Mclnnis? It is notorious that we have not. He has given Europe plainly to understand that it must buy from day to day the peace which is its first necessary of life. When our Foreign Minister has remonstrated about pro mires broken and rights ;•ffringed, he has been told by Count PERsii:sir that "the passions of " France have been roused, and it was impossible " for the E‘IPEROR to go back." This state of existence has become universally intolerable, and we now see nations laying aside the;- ancient rivalry and uniting to make a stand for honour and independence. The Earania tells us that it is untrue that he is immoderately increasing the military forces of Franc; and that his army and fleet have nothing of a threatening character about them. We do not dispute this in the least. We never doubted, as many did, the declaration of the French Go vernment last spring, that it had not armed. It is not her extraordinary propientions which make France dangerous to the peace of Europe, but the vast extent of those armaments which have be come normal, and which Frenchmen have at length come to regard as moderate. Even now the Limy that won Dial:elite and Solleflo is de clared imperfect, and the steam navy which pro tected its operations inadequate to the require ments of France. The EMPLROII says, "While " wishing for peace, I desire to organise the forces " of the country on the best possible footing." Well then, if such is the coalition of the French army and navy, we, who have not just overthrown an empire and wrested from it a province, might be excused if wo were—es we are not—about to " organise our forces on the best possible footing." This is what le.ople are thinking and saying in England, and it is right that France should know it. Hut happily this is nut all. If we remember the pest it is for warning, and not in a spirit of re sentment. We shall not be betrayed into a policy of passion. We can look the future boldly in the face. The course France has followed has been full of inconvenience for us— it h.ei entailed burdens not inconsiderable with no mean compliances to regret, nn wounded honour to avenge, nothing hinders us from welcoming frankly any advances made in a spirit of friendship. The French EMYCIVIK knew a year ago that all our most eminent statesmen of recent times had repeatedly and publicly proclaimed the importance they attached to the maintenance of amicable relations and a candid understanding between the two countries ; he now knows that we shall not pur chase friendship by a surrender of our principles or a sacrifice of our obligations. If with this know ledge he wishes to draw closer to this country, ho will be met with a full appreciation of the value of the &Bianca he otters. It is in the Estresoa's power to effect that approximation which his letter invites. The pee plc of E ng l an d and France have so many interests in common that unless the development of these is interrupted from above they must become more and more united vu feeling and sympathy. Hut con fidence cannot grow up under a system which works by surprises Sad C. 11)/ de ;Arne, and which penr.ita sudden changes of resolution in matters of international engagement. The EIETRoR now unfolds a foreigii policy as to Italy and Syria in which this country sympathises. A common Irbe Coun. THE thEPRESS, THU policy and a mutuality of commercial tenets must always be important guarantees for the maintenance of friendly rotations between the two Governments : but we live in times when a sorely-tried world wants yet more efficacious assurances of peace. It is undeniable that the Expo has taught Fiume to look beyond her frontiers for that setidaction which the political intelligence and capacity of her children does not find at home. Nevertheless, if the EMPRILOS is about to renounce all conquests save those to be made in France—if he purposes to devote him self to promote her interior organisation, the increase of her resources and her moral improvement, and finds in them a field large enough for his ambition, then it will be possible to attain the objects marked out in his latest letter. The effects of this communi cation may not make themselves felt all at once. There may be some weak nerved persons found to exert themselves to hinder its fair consideration. But the sensible portion of the community is strong enough, if it chooses, to make its opinion felt ; to require that it be met in a spirit of can dour, and with a sole reference to the permanent interests of the country.

UE. THE STRAIN QUESTION. THE CONFERENCE. PARA Amur? 1. The preparatory sitting (on Monday) of the Ambassadors of the Great Potters before the meet ing of the Conference took plain on account of an invitation from the Turkish Ambassador. _ . The representative of the Porte wished to explain beforehand that, if the Sultan authorised him to adhere to the convention under certain reserva tions, it was only in order not to be the cause of a conflict between France and England. . . . The essential reserve which the Porte wished to make wee that, before adopting the convention for regulating forcign intervention in Syria, mention should be made in the same of the spontaneous de sire of the Sultan to arrest the effusion of blood in Syria, and to accept the cooperation of hie allies to that end. M. Thonvenel having adhered to this demand, the conference in its meeting on Monday entirely changed the original plan of the convention already agreed to by the Great Powers. The six articles have been carefully revised in such a manner as to remove all that might excite the susceptibilities of the Porte, or that might even indirectly attack the independence of the Sultan. The convention having been so greatly modified, the representatives of the Great Powers will refer to their respective courts before definitively signiug the same. The conference has therefore been ad jonined Slid die, in order that all the ambassadors may be able in the meantime to receive full powers for the signature of the convention which must necessarily precede the despatch of troops. CONSTANTINOPLE Iva MASSEILLES), JULY 20. The Marquis de Lavalette has notified to the Porte the resolutions of France in reference to an expedition to Syria. It is said that the Sultan has requested the Viceroy of Egypt to send an auxiliary army of 10,000 men. VIENNA, Atourer 1. Official intelligence received from Constantinople states that in Bulgaria and the neighbouring plo- Times massacres of the Christians have been organised, and that the Porte has therefore taken all necessary measures for arresting in the most efficacious manner these criminal attempts. THE MASSACRE AT DAMASCUS. MARBEILLES, WEDNESDAY EVENT/W. Advice* have been received from Damascus to the 12th July, confirming the statement that 6,000 houses belonging to the Christians had been de stroyed. The Jewish quarter had been burnt. The Turkish houses in which the Christian women had found refuge bad also been burnt. As the massacres lasted for 80 hours, it was difficult to ascertain the number of victims ; 2,000 Christians were still um, er Abd-el-Kader's protection, but suffering from hunger. Several consuls were at Abd-el- Kader's residence, who gave refuge also to several Enflishmen. The new Governor of Damascus had arrived with 1,200 soldiers. It was not certain whether the disturbances could be considered as terminated. The impartial de Sesymos, in confirming the above, expresses doubts, however, whether the BelOm consul bad been killed. Although peace had been signed by the tribes of the Lebanon, several Christian acheiks ref yid to give their ad herence to the treaty, as they ansidered it illusory. . . Some wretched and starving Christians had en deasoured to return to the mountains. MARBFILLES, WIDNISDAT Evianso. Letters from Conatantinople state that on the 13th of July anarchy still reigned at Damascus. The massacres had not been 'topped. The semi official Journal de Constantinople admits that the number of victims at Damascus amounted to 2,000, and adds tha. on the 13th of July the massacres continued. The mime journal gives a denial to the report that the Sultan bad requested the Viceroy of Egypt to send rein:orcen.ents of 10,000 soldiers. It had been resolved to increase the Turkish ai.ny iu Syria to 26,000 men, and to pay all arrears due to the garrisol of Constantinople. Great pre cautionary military mesa area had been taken. The bridges of Galata and Pens were raised every night. The Sisters of Charity bad dismissed all their pupils. Several Christians bad been insulted and bft.en. The Marquis de Levalette had had a con ference with the Sultan, which lasted three hours. Diss-urbances had taken place among the Rebus- Imatical Armenians. Several thousands of them had opposed the burial of protestant Armenians in their cemetery. At the request of Sir Henry Bulwer the military interfered, and killed or wounded forty persona, •..

(nom oua owl col PARTY,. WEDNEADAT EVTICINO. I believe that my information of yesterday—that the conferences on the Syrian question were broken up—was altogether correct. There is reason to think that one of the main causes was au unex pected split between Franco and Russia. Russia claimed on ibis occasion the execution of certain promises which she conceived the Emperor lusl made some time since, in pursuance of which the entire eastern question should be raised on the first opportunity, and, in fact, insisted that the moment had arrived for the partition of Turkey. Russia was ready to send 100,000 men to make a short end of the business, but had no notion of a re stricted intervention in Syria. It did not suit the Emperor's purpose to come into this scheme—at least just now—and therefore, only so lately as Sunday last, be wrote the letter to M. Persiguy, protesting his wish to keep the status quo in Turkey as long as possible, and even not to send out an expedition to Syria at all if he could excuse himself to public opinion in France. It is remarkable that the Moniteter, in announ cing the military convention at Messina, says no thing either of the negotiations or of the agreement that Agosta, Syracuse, and Messina were to re main in the occupation of Naples. These omis sions of important circumstances, dwelt upon by the Pays and Pattie last night, tend to confirm the views of the Opinion Nationale. Moreover a telegram has been received, stating that on July 27 General Clary's force in the citadel of Messina did not con sist of more than 2,000 men, and that the rest of his army had embarked for Reggio and Naples. The fact, therefore, seems to bo,that he has no idea of holding either the citadel or any other place in Sicily, and that the armistice, so far from being a symptom of Garibaldi having given way to the pressure put upon him, has only been concluded in order to give the remnant of the Neapolitan forces time to evacuate the island completely with out further bloodshed. The Pays and Petrie, which all last week were wont to make a great splash iu their "Latest News" about intervention in Syria, have to-night nothing whatever to say. _ _ I have a private letter from Italy stating that an insurrection in the Marches, which will very pro bably bring General Lamoricibre to the test, may be considered as imminent. M. Ricasoli came hur riedly to Turin from Florence, in obedience to a telegraphic message, to consult about this serious matter. He has gone back again, and his instruc tions are supposed to be not in any way unfavoui able to the movement. The Proyris de Lyon, a provincial journal of some reputation, says that there will be an extra ordinary session of the Corps Legishitif in October, for the purpose of voting a loan, measures relating to the newly-annexed provinces of &goy and Nice, and a bill for abolishing warnings and communiques. In giving this news the Proyris adds, " without endorsing the first part of this intelligence, we hope the second may be true.' The Bourse was better under the influence of the Emperor's letter, the text of which has been sent by telegraph from London. It is now considered doubtful whether the Syrian expedition will take place at all. The Rente rose 25c. both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 40c. and 68fr. 45c. Mobi her rose 7fr. 50c. The Orleans Railway rose 10fr.; Northern and Lyons, 31r. 75c.; Eastern, 2fr. 50c.; and Southern, lfr. 25c. Western without change. General Turr arrived iu Paris this morning from Aix-les-Banui, where ho has been staying for the last three weeks for the cure of his wound.

THE ARMISTICE AT MESSINA. We read in the Opinion Nationale : The Patrie pretends that the armistice bas been con cluded with the view of waiting for the result of the nego tiations pending at Turin between the envoys of the King of Naples and King Victor Emmanuel. This explanation is not even plausible ; for the negotiations alluded to are already terminated, and it results from all the latest news that they have led to nothing. The desire to prevent bloodshed, and the certainty of • speedy solution of the struggle, seem to as • better reason for the military conven tion entered into by the two generals. Since Garibaldi asp go to Naples whenever he likes, there was no reason why he should samlce men to conquer • citadel which mart neceseariiy fall into his power when he shall be master of Naples, where, according to all the correspondence, hie influence is daily increasing. and he is in reality more king than Francis IL One of the conditions of the convention cannot but hasten the inevitable issue of the crusade under taken by the Dictator against the Neapolitan dynasty. The soldiers of the two camps arc to circulate freely at Messina, Syracuse, and Agosta. It is manifest that the two armies will more or less fiatendse, and we shall be surprised if ultimately besiegers and besieged do not march together to Naples. The recognition of the Sicilian flag and the free navigation of the straits show that Sicily is to he evacuated ; and there is a manifest contradiction between this statement and the assertion that the Neapoli tans will continue to occupy Agosta, Syracuse, and Shaine. The loss of Garibabli's army at Melazzo has been singularly exaggerated. The news wan brought to Genoa by the cap tain of an English ship that the Genoese company of Cara biniers had been entirely destroyed, with the exception of seven men ; but it turn out that the captain 'poke bad Italian, and meant to say that the company, though in the thick of the fight, had only loot raven men killed and ROV11,110(1.

General Bosco, who had two maguidoent hones, which were given to him by the King of Naples, was forced to semi them to Garibaldi, but he took care to poison them beforehand. THE UNITED STATES.

What a precious row, to be sure, they did all contrive to make ! When Alexander the Greatest is himself on board he does nothing but 101 l on deck in his shirt sleeves, and without any bat, playing with his dogs or chatting with the sailors of the other vessels, or with the she-admiral. Warns he lands, the gallant she-admiral, Emile, always accompanies him, and they are constantly driving about in an open carriage, bowing and gossipping and laughing with all whom they meet. Its hail fellow well met' with the veriest stranger, and flvo minutes acquaintance ripens with such marvellous rapidity into the closest friendship, that the final farewell is taken at the end of the fifth minute, amidst the heartiest shaking of hands and kissing and hugging. The entrance of the other Alexander into Babylon was doubtless •a very grand affair, yet I doubt if it caused as great a sen sation as did the arrival of the modern Alexander into this town of Catania. It rivalled the display of the renowned Dr. Dulcamara. I went to inspect the yacht, and I can assure you that for elegance —nay, for luxury—for the numbers of curious things that it contained, it was a little floating museum. In the cabin there is arranged a collection of the arms of every nation in the known world, cud indeed many weapons from parts of the world which arc hardly known at all. Then there is no end of the gold and silver ornaments and curi osities. There is a little library of the most beau tifully-bound books. It is, in short, Monte Christi's vessel, with all its comforts and elegancies realised ; only it is not freighted with the real treasures. Dumas told me that the expense of keeping it up was 40 franca a Jay— a moderate enough sum surely, for such an object. He has now left this for Palermo. When the intelligesesoune that Bosco had left Messina with the 5,(;.10 Neapolitan troops, Dumas hastened to Colonel Ebor, and offered to tiauspor. in his yacht, as far as Taroinina, a body of troops, and thus have cut off Boloo's communications with Mes sina. The plan teemed sensible enough, but several reasons iialin.ed Colonel Ebor not to adopt it : first, because it could not be carried out without a larger force than it was in his power to detach; and secondly, because he had received no instructions from Garibaldi. On the day that the column entered Catania, Dumas had,ths Italian colours flying mut t high from his vessel, but none of the other ships here fol lowed the example. The municipality, being desirous to give a dinner to all the military authorities and to many of the Gariladdian officers, along with all the notables, Dumas likewise was invited, and, strange to may, they also invited the she-admiral. The invitation for the dinner was at wiz precisely, but he did not make his appearance until near I seven, and effected what be desired by making himself more prominent and conspicuous by keeping everybody waiting l fur him. The she- ad miral was perfectly magnificent, being dressed in a lilac velvet uniform, with, Heaven preserve us! such buttons, and such lace, and such epaulettes." EXPENDITURE FOR MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES. A select committee was appointed in March last to inquire into the expenditure for miscellaneous services, and to report to the house whether any reduction could be effected. Their report, which was agreed to on the 25th tilt., was issued this morning, and is as follows : Your committee commenced the inquiry by oonsidering the mode of framing the estimates, the time of the session when they are presented to parliament, and the votes in Class No. I. They are of opinion, that the estimates for the Civil Service ought to be laid before parliament at the same mind am the Army and Navy Estimates. That nearly all the votes now brought under No. VII., entitled Miscellaneous, Special, and Temporary Objects, ought to be placed in the different classee to which they respectively and properly belong. Should there be any special estimates which cannot be brought under the first six classes, such special estimates ought to be presented at the same time as the first six That in case of any votes being required during the sitting of parliament for any unforete et, and urgent service, a sup plementary estimate ought to be presented, accompanied. by notes, explanatory of the reaeons why the said sums were not included in the original estimates, and referring them to their respective classes ; and also that such of the expenses included iu civil contingencies as are of a con stantly recurring nature, should be provided for by esti mates in their appropriate cksses. That parliament ought to be informed, iu the estimates of each year, of the un expended balance of each vote of the past year which had been sanctioned by parliament, and the balance remaining in the exchequer to the credit of each vote up to the 31st of December of the current financial year. That in the case of all new works under Class 1. the construction of which is to be extended over more than one year, the estimates in every case should be prepared in the same fonn as that for new works iu the Navy Estimates. That the present system of audit is imperfect, inasmuch as only a portion Of the expenditure is brought before the board of audit ; but the subject having been very fully considered by the committee on public monies, your committee confine them selves to referring to their report, and expressing an opinion that some steps should be taken to introduce a core uniform and efficient system of *edit. That the ends arising from con stant changes in the office of Chief Commissioner of Works having been prominently brought before your committee, they are of opinion that the appointment of a permanent commissioner would seem the only means of removing them. Your committee consider that upon the appointment of a permanent commissioner, the duties of the existing politi cal office of first comiaissiouer in parliament might be dis charged by some other minister of the crown in the House of Commons. That if a permanent commissioner were ap pointed, all public works not already under the department of public works, except those for naval and military defence, ought to be placed under that department. Your committee have been unable to continue their inquiries in the matters committed to them further iu the present seseien of parliament ; they strongly recommend to the house the appointment of a committee in the next session of parliament to resume the iuquiry.

This morning (Thursday), at half-past ten o'clock, William Carter, Fail., and a highly respectable jury, assem bled in the board-room of the workhouse of St. Mary, New ington, for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances attending the respective deaths of Elizabeth Youngman, aged 46 ; Maria Wells Streeter, egad 27 ; Thomas Young. man, aged 10 ; and Charles Rayson Youngman, aged 10/1:2 years, who were violently murdered at No. 16, Manor-place, Walworth-road, on the morning of Tuesday kat. The inquiry excited a roost painful amount of interest, not only in the inquest room, but throughout the whole neighbourhood. The jury having been addressed by the coroner as to the nature of their duties, proceeded with the coroner to view the bodies. Upon their return to the court, the following witnesses were examined : Mr. James Bevan, a carman, said that he was the occu pier of the home, 16, Manor-place. and had been so for six months. He had lived in the house for some time pre viously. The house contained six rooms and a back kitchen. It was a two story house, having two rooms on each floor, besides the ground floor. He lived with his wife and three children. Witness occupied two rooms on the ground floor. The first room on the ground floor was a sitting-room, but he made a bed up of a night for his three children. The back room was occupied as a sleeping room for himself and an afflicted son, who stuttered, and was otherwise afflicted, so that he could not walk without crutches. The first floor was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Beard, and a son shout ft or 9 years of age. The upper rooms were occupied by Mr. Youngman, his wife, and two children—boys. He could not state exactly how long they hail lived there, but it might have been three or four months we over. On Tuesday morning about ten minutes or a quarter to six he was in bed in the back room, when ho heard a rumbling noise on the top door. He got out of bed, but before he could get to the door Mr. Beard tapped at it, and said, " For Cod's sake come upstairs, for there is murder." Witness went upstairs without waiting to dress, and proceeded to the top staircase, where he saw one of Mr. Youngman's boys on the landing with his head towards the stairs. Ho did not proceed any further, but returned downstairs. He did not see any second person at that time, nor hear any thing, for all was quiet. He put on his clothes and went for the police. Mr. Beard accompanied him upstairs. He procured the assistance of Inspector Dann and a police officer. They accompanied him to the house, but he did nut go up stairs again. Before he heard the rumbling noise he did not hear as much as a sound. He went for Mr. Youngman after he heard the rumbling noise. He heard him go out to hie work about half-past five o'clock. About a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes before, he beard the rumbling noise. Vp to that time he had not seen any inmate of the house. He believed it was Mr. Youngman who went out, as he was in the habit of going out at that hour. He went to sleep after he went out, and was awoke by the rumbling noise. There had not been any screaming, if there had been he must have heard it. He saw a young man when he was about to proceed for a policeman, after he was dressed. He saw the poems man on about three parts up the stairs, when he put up his hands, and said, " My mother has done all this. " Witness told hint not come down any further. He also said, "My mother has murdered my two brothers and my sweet heart, and I in self-defence seized the knife from her and in self defence I have murdered her." The next time he saw the young man was at the police court the same Tuesday. He bad seen him come in and go out during the last week or ten days, but bad no know• ledge that he was in the house on Monday night. Witness did not go with the jury to view the bodies. The fourth person he (lid not know, never having seen her in his life. He knew Mrs. Youngman as &lodger, but never spoke to her more than passing the compliments of the day. He had not seen her since last week. In her appearance she appeared respectable and of strong mind. She used to correct her children frequently. By the Coroner—He had nothing further to state to the court. William Beard, • carpenter and joiner, said that he was a married man and lived with his wife nod son, who was about 11 years of age. He occupied two rooms on the first floor. One room was occupied as a bedroom, and his son slept in the nano room. On the morning of Tuesday his wife awoke him and called his attention to • noise like children running about. He got up and opened his door, end beard a scream, and a noise on the second finer landing. The scream appeared to have arisen from ahoy. It was about five minutes before six. Beyond the scream he bail spoken of he did not hear any other scream. He thought that was caused by the father beating the children, and out of curiosity he went up, and the first thing that attracted his notice was • spot of 1 blood on the stairs and a boy's hand hanging through the banisters covered with blood and his throat cut. To be perfectly satisfied, he went a step higher, and then saw a young woman lying un the landing, with her had inside the back roans door and her legs pointing to the front room. He also nutioed that her throat was cut. He did not at thattime hoar any noble in either room, and he aid not see athird person. Upon seeing this be went downstairs awl celled the landlord s who went upstairs, and witness followed him. Neither witness nor the landlord were dressed. Ile went to his bed room, and whilst dressing he wee called to • person up stairs. He passed out of his bedroom again, and went to the foot of stain, when he saw a male person whom he knew was named Youngman, son of the persons who Wed upstairs. When be first saw him he was standing on the stairs, about four step from the top. He said, "Mrs Beard, my mother has done all this ; she murdered my two brothers and my sweetheart, and I have killed her in self. defence." He was then in his night shirt, and the wrist band was torn away, but hung to the sleeve. Witness told hen to keep upstairs. The latter asked him to go for a sur geon, which he did, and returned to the house, when three policemen came, and he went upstairs and saw • third person whom he knew to be Mrs. Youngman, who was lying on the legs of Miss Streeter, with the face dowowanls. The parties were all intheir night clothes When Mr. Youngman arrived the son said, " Father, mother has done this." The son was taken away and he saw no more of hi tea. Ile should know hint again. He had not seen him on the Monday, but he knew that he had been staying with his patents for • week or nine days. He had • little conversation with him on Sunday last, when he appeared pet:ectly collected. The conversation be had with him had no bearing on this C 233. Ile did not know the young woman, he had never seen her before. He retired to bed between 10 and 11 on Monday night, and he did not then hear any noise. When Ito saw Youngm.eu on the stairs he did not see any thing in his band. If any one hal called him by name ho must have heard it. He was positive that the only noise he heard when he opened the door was one scream. The Youngman,' had lodged in the hou.se longer than he had. He had never formed s'iy opinion as ta her state of mind, only that she appeared perfectly sane. She was very kind to her children, but sometimes corrected them, and so did the father. He never apprehended that she would do any thing wrong to her tautly. Front what he had seen he believed the deaths scow from the hands of the son. He beard Mr. Youngman, sett, go out at twenty minutes past five that morning. Witness went for Mr. Soddy, the surgeon, awl the Adieu were there before he got back. About half.anbour eloped after Mr. Youngman, the father, went out, until his wife awoke hint. When ho went upstairs the first time he noticed that the door of the back room was open, but he did not see whether the front door was open or not. Susannah Beard said that the last witness was her husband. They lived together at It, Manored.tee. Her bedniona was under the Younputus. On the morning of Tuesday last she heard a rumbling on the boards, as over her heads which was followed by a noise like • fall. Nothing else tracted her attention et that time, and she thought it was caused by the boys quarrelling. She awoke her husband, believing it was bite. She sisal to her husband, " Why, it is eight o'clock," and he got up and went into the front room, and from thence upstairs. He shortly re turned, screaming " Murder," and she got out but did not on that occasion g o upstairs. She f did not hear or see any male person besides her husband until her landlord came out and went upstairs. Her husband dressed himself as soon as he could, and went for the police. When her husband came Lack slot saw young Mr. Young man, who was on the stain, and who had been in the house eight or nine days. He said, " Mrs. Wool, Mrs. Hears!, my mother has done it all, and in self-defence I think I have murdered her." He repeated, and added, "She has killed my two little brothers anti my sweetheart." lie then held up his arm, and, pointing to his wristband, said, "See what she has done I" He then cried out, " Mr, Heard, go for a surgeon, for i believe none of them aro living now." She had not beard anyone moving about in the night. bhe law i
