THERE seems length to be some prospect of obtaining at least a clue to the hitherto impene treble mystery of the Road murder. The new in vestigation now going on at Trowbridge has brought to light a number of small particulars connected with the crime, and at least one fact that will pro bably prove of considerable importance. It would be ndlossig t or at this stage of the inquiry to press in all airforce the conclusions suggested by the facts against any individual who may be suspected, and least of all against the nurse who stands charged with the murder ; but we may note the course of the investigation, and let the facts it reveals speak for themselves. Mrs. KENT was publicly examined for the first time on Monday, and her evidence, though bring ing out no new facts of a striking character, has yet, as a whole, a significant bearing on the main object of the inquiry. It tends to throw a further light on the general features of the case, as well as on the conduct of the ac cused before and after the discovery of the murder. Mrs. Kerr deposes that she saw the murdered child put to bed about 8 o'clock on Fri day evening, the nurse being present and assisting. Sho went into the rani" again to look at the child shoot an hour after, and paid a final visit at 10 o'clock. The ourse had then coin° upstairs for the night, but when Mrs. KENT entered the bedroom to look at the child fur the last time, she was not there—at least not in the outer room where the child slept, but "in • little room within the nursery," so that Mrs. Karr had to call her ont. We lay no particular stress on this circumstance, but simply note it, as any particular is of import , aucv in such an inquiry where the ascertained facts are so few. Mrs. KENT furtherdepoiles that she is a light sleeper, often asking during the night, and having frequently on previous night' " heard the " child crying in the nursery." She woke fre quently durnig this very night, but heard no more till " early in the morning," when she "heard a " noise which sounded like the drawing-room " shutter opening." It is, of course, impossible to say prceindy at what time this was, but the " early murieug" generally means when it is get ting light ; and as it was near the longest day, it would I e light on the morning in question soon after th-cc. Mrs. KENT states that "she cannot " say she was alarmed," as she thought the ser vants were astir. She did nut wake again till a few minutes after seven, when she rose and began to dress. While she was dressing the nurse knocked at the door, and inquired, " Are neither "of the chddren awake, Ma'am 1" The rest of the dial gee, with the remaining evidence on this po:nt, may be given in Mrs. KENT'S own words. " 1 ri,11,41, What—neither of them awake, "'nurse?' because I was astonished at her ask " ing for two. She then said, as well as I can " remember, Then Master Saville is not in with you f I replied, 'Certainly not.' She then " said, 'He is not in the nursery.' I immediately " went into the nursery to look for him. I sent " her to his sisters' rooms ; when she came back " I asked her when she had mailed him. She " said, 'At 5 o'clock.' I then asked her why she " had not come to tell me before. She said she " had not done en because she thought I had gone " into the nursery and taken him out. I said to " her, ' MAC dare you say Si,? You 1140 Ir I nen,' "' do seek a Hatay.' The buy was a very heavy " child , and the nurse knew that I was not able "to carry him ; in fact, I had never taken bun " out of his cot—at any rate, while the nurse was " asleep. I had told her before that if ever any " thing was to happen in the nursery to wake her " unounifortable in regard to the children she was "to cumin to me." Mrs. Keefe swears she bad never taken the child front the crib early in the morning when the nurse was 'sleep, and had specially charged her, if any thing unusual happened with the children, to come to her at once. Yet, on this particular morning, when et,: nurse, according to her own statement, awoke at 5 o'clock, and found the child gone from his crib, she mole no effort whatever to Lind but 7MM/111111g at 0114:e that his mother had taken hint—a circumstance, she admits, which had never before happened during her resi dence in the family —turned round and quietly went to deep again. This conduct, though no; doubt compatible with innocence, is on all principles of judgment quite singular enough to isat.itv surprise mid even suspicion. Fur euppueing Mrs. Kerr had taken the child, this was so unusual that, on tinoling him gone, the first Minidisc of the nurse who had charge of him would naturally be to see where he was, and what bad led to his removal. As she felt no surprise at the absence of the child, so she appeals to have betrayed neither excitement nor alarm alien it was aireuvered that he could nut be found. At Meet, iteconlihg to the somewhat confused testi mony of the under•nurse, EMILY Doom, the accused did not even ;acme 011 the child's absence to her when ate came in the morning, though she went in and out of the nursery several times after Mrs. h e'er had been informed of the fact. The neat point of importance brought out in ass evi.lcnce is the discrepancy of staternent with n•gaid o, Cio blanket found with the murdered child, and in which the body had evidently been Two of the constables employed in ever the premises on thu morning of the mutatc deposed that before the Lady was found THE EXPRESS. THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1860. the accused spoke to them of the missing blanket. MORGAN, the pariah constable, with URCH, one of the county police, went upstairs at half-pest seven. and asked the nurse to show them the child's ea, which she did. " The clothes," he adds, 11 wen smooth—smoother than I should have ex " pasted. I said, ' Do you mean to say that this to " ' where the child was taken from 1' She ye a plied, Yee.' The clothes were turned down 'I 14 quite and I saw the mark of the little fellow's head "on the pillow. I said to the nurse, Have you " lost anything out of the nursery except the " child r She replied there was a blanket taken " or drawn, I forget which word she used, hum ".the cot ; but there was nothing else missing." T aco gives the same testimony, adding that the nurse said the blanket " might have been drawn " out without removing the quilt." Mrs. Krxr, too, knew, before her husband set out for Trow bridge, and, therefore, before the body was found, that the blanket was missing ; and apparently her informant must also have been the nurse, though this is not expressly stated in her evidence. On the other hand, the nurse stated positively to FoLsv, the superintendent of the Wilts county police, that she "had never missed the blanket " till the child wee found." This was stated in the hearing of Woi.rs, another constable, who confirms FOILLY'B evidence on this point. This discrepancy is, however, in itself of no very great importance. Its value must very much depend on whether the circum stances under which it comes out point to some intelligible motive or not. Finding the blanket gone is, of course, compatible with perfect innocence; indeed, luite natural under the circumstances ; but the subsequent and deliberate denial of this simple knowledge would certainly look like a consciousness of guilt. If the denial comes later, and is no after-thought, it may show a desire to conceal the knowledge which, though innocent in itself, may appear to the conscious mind an indirect oonse .luence of guilt. It ought to be stated, however, that the same discrepancy of statement with re gard to the blanket comes out in the case of Mr. Karr as well as of the nuns. But the most important point in the new evi dence is that brought out on Tuesday with regard to the piece of flannel found in the soil of the closet where the body was discovered. The nurse's counsel, Mr. Rnerom, tried, as in duty bound, to make light of this, submitting that it had no connexion whatever with the murder, and could not be received as evidence. To this, however, the Chairman properly replied, that " The piece of fishnet MU found lying on the sur- " face of the soil, and was seen shortly after the " body was taken out. It was impossible, there " fore, to exclude it from the evidence. At the " same time, in order that there might be no pre- ' " judice about the matter, he might state that he " could not tell what weight should be attached to " the simple fact that a piece of flannel, even " though it could be proved to belong to the psi " goner, was found in the water-closet underneath " the body of the child. It went only a little way " to connect her with a crime which was committed " in her bedroom." The evidence of Finer, the con stable who found this piece of flannel, is too im portant to be omitted. Ho says :—" I believe " the flannel to be a woman's chest flannel. There " were marks of recent blood on it. The blood " was in • congealed state. The principal part " was in the centre, as if it had dropped on it. I " saw the construction of the privy. Below the " top seat there was a splash-board, on which I " think the body of the child must have rested. " If the body had been lying on the soil it could " not have been reached by • inan's arm. I got " up the flannel by a hook attached to a @tick " from underneath the splash-board. There was "no soil on the flanneL ft appeared to have " been only recently there. The blood did not " penetrate the flannel, but it appeared to have " dropped so gently on it that it had congealed " drop by drop." It is difficult to avoid believing that this piece of flannel has an important wailer ion with the murder, and may help to elucidate the way in which it was actually effected. All the evidence with regard to the appearance of the body of the child goes to prove that death was not the result of the dreadful wounds inflicted on it. The deep stab in the side yes certainly inflicted after death, and that in the throat while the child, if not actually dead, was dying, the blood being still I warm, but fast congealing. On the other hand, the positive appearances agree with the supposi tion of Mr. SACNUZIVI in his opening statement, that death was caused by suffocation. When the body was found "the mouth had a blackened " appearance, and • the tongue protruded be " tween the teeth "—the result, in all likeli hood, according to the medical testimony, of " pressure during life." These appearances are, in fact, those produced by strangulation. This may help to explain the use both of the blanket and the flannel, as well as to account for their presence with the body of the murdered child. The child's first cry might have been stifled with this very piece of flannel, which would be at hand for the purpose, and his convulsive efforts stilled by winding him tightly in the blanket. Whether there was any deliberate intention to murder er not, this would effectually secure the first and most imperious con dition of concealment at which the guilty party or parties would naturally aim —silence, the prompt suppression of any noise likely to rajas the house. When it was resolved to finish the work and conceal the body, it would be taken away in the blanket, unrolled to inflict the throat wound, and hastily thrown, as the evidence shows, head foremost into the closet. This would account for the position of the piece of flannel fallen from the poor child's mouth, as well as for the drops of half-congealed blood found upon it. They would, in such a position, slowly drip down upon it from the open wound. This is what the facts of the case already proved seem to suggest. But even if the manner of the death be disco vered, we are still far enough from having found out the murderer. The flannel is as yet no evidence against the accused, for it has not in any way been connected with her.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. GARIBALDI BEFORE CAPITA. POSITION OP THE CONTENDING ARMIES. The Pairs contains the following " Latest News • : " The last despatches from Naples state that Gari baldi had returned to the army before Capua, and had held a council of war, which all the com manders of corps were summoned to attend. We are assured that at this council it was proposed to concentrate all disposable forces and to deliver a decisive battle to the royal army upon the Volturno, but that this plan having been deemed inadmia- Bible, it was decided that the bombardment should be recommenced as soon as the artillery which was expected should have been received. The royal army was fortifying itself in the positions which it bad taken, and continued to bring immense stores of ammunition and provisions into Gaeta. It had established on the left of the place an intrenched camp, defended by immense and well-armed works. Gaeta will be enabled to sustain a siege of several months, and Garibaldi, if left to his own resources, will never be able to take it. The Piedmontese troops have not yet entered the Neapolitan States, but there is no doubt that they will very shortly do so." The following is extracted from a letter of the correspondent of the Dibats at Naples : " The royal force consists of about 25,000 men, who appear determined to fight. King Francis and his brothers are constantly in the midst of the troops, encouraging them to a vigorous resistance, promising rewards, and promoting a belief that a friendly army is on the march to their assistance. The army not only occupies Gaeta, but likewise Salt, Rearm, Cajazzo, and other surrounding vil lages. The sick and wounded are lodged in the barracks of Capua. The corps of observation, which holds the line of country between Cajazzo and Capua, is commanded by Marshal Ruffo and General de Liguori. General Barbalonga commands the corps which is encamped in the neighbourhood of San-Germano. General Santo Vito holds the fortress of Gaeta. There is a scar city of provisions in Capua. For some days past tobacco could not be had, and salt was very dear. The soldiers suffer a good deal, but they do not complain. The corps of 4,000 men, who were en camped outside of Capua, and who retired before Garibaldi's force, endeavoured to turn the latter by Piedemonte, and advanced for this purpose as far as Salopaga, eight miles from Maddaloni ; but they were recalled by a sudden order on the 27th. Garibaldi's scouts having given information of the fact, Garibaldi transferred his headquarters to Caserta, brought up 1,000 Sicilians from Nee plea, who had only arrived the night before, and strongly fortified Maddaloni. Another royalist force which was ;advancing from Gaeta to San- Germano, likewise received orders to fall back upon Gaeta and Capua. The King's army is there fore at this moment divided into three corps of observation, and in possession of the country• be tween Cajazzo and Gaeta. The King has eight entire regiments of cavalry and four incomplete regiments, which traverse the defence line of the Volturno and streugthen the advanced poste. The order for this concentration of the royal army was probably given after the defeat of the pontifical troops and the march of Cialdini towards the Neapolitan frontier. "Preparations are also going forward on the side of Garibaldi The batteries which had been placed on the heights of San-Angelo and San- Michael have been abandoned as insufficieut fertile bombardment of Capua. But a battery has been placed on San-Tommaso, where General Malenchini commands ; and barricades and some cannon have been placed along the whole line. Everything therefore would seem to indicate that the Dictator has, fur the moment, aban doned the idea of bombarding Capua, and that ho is preparing to resist any attack of the royal forces. King Francis's army, shut in by the Piedmonteae on the side of the Roman States, on the Neapolitan side by the Garibaldians, and on the side of the Abruzzi and the Adriatic by the squadron of Ad miral Persano, will be obliged either to surrender or try a coup de mein upon Naples, which is by no means in kpueition to resist a serious attack." THE IMPERIAL INTERVIEW AT WARSAW. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Nord says that the initiative of the expected Interview between the Emperor of Russia and the Emperor of Austria was taken by the latter, and that it will lead to no change in the political situation of those powers ; that public opinion in St. Petersburg and in Russia is more than ever averse to au alli ance w hich would eventually make Russia the gendarme of Europe—a thankless position which she too long occupied.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EMIDIO. The Pays says that the despatch published in London giving an account of the Emperor's answer to the Pope sent by the Duke de Cadore is " of the most complete exactitude." The form of the phrase, and the little credit enjoyed by the Pays, leave it doubtful whether " exactitude" may not be a misprint for "in-exactitude." ♦ private letter from Madrid, dated Sept. 29, states that M. Rios Roses, the Spanish ambassador at Rome, who was absent on leave, has been ordered to return immediately to his poet in order to offer the Pope an asylum in Spain. The general opinion in Spain is that the papacy cannot ac quiesce in the position which the French Emperor offers to guarantee, because it involves the loss of all the temporal power. This opiniou is shared by the gre at majority of French catholics in Paris, who think it essential to the dignity and inde pendence of the Pope that he should withdraw himself from French protection. Unfortunately for the Pope he has only a sort of Hobson's choice. His position at Rome is no doubt very bad, but with the exception of a few enthusiastic bigots, who hope impossible things, those who wish to see him elsewhere are his enemies. I observe in the London journals of yesterday a telegram, stating that a short time since M. Thonvenel tendered Lis resignation, ou the ground that the French government did not suf ficiently protect the Pope, but that he consented to continue in his office when the result of the Duke de Cedore's mission was known. You will remember that the probability of a change in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was men tioned in this correspondence exclusively some few days ago. It is important to notice this con firmation of a piece of news, which very possibly may have been thought at the time to be only an idle rumour. It is now, and in all likelihood will ever be (until the publication of the secret corres pondence of the present age), doubtful whether in sending large reinforcements to Rome the Em peror hes really been overruled by his minister, or whether be has chosen to thrust upon him the re sponsibility of a step not easily to bo reconciled with recent imperial pamphlets, acts, and pro fessions. The announcement in the French papers yester day that M. Benedetti had gone to Alexandria on a political mission was essentially false, because it contained a suppressio yeti. He has only gone to Alexandria, supposing him to touch there, en route for Beyrout, hls mission there being to fulfil the duties of French commissioner in the Syrian inquiry. The shareholders in M. Lesseps' scheme can there fore derive no comfort from the fact of his voyage. The confidence exhibited at the Bourse in the midst of the anxious Italian crisis is most remark able.

I sit down to write to you amid the thunder of cannon, announcing the national exultation at the surrender of Ancona, and the capture of its garri son, b,OOO strong. This glorious result was known yesterday, when the King, at half-past two in the afternoon, left for Bologna, whence lie will proceed to Aneoua--and perhaps further still. The people, in crowds, were in waiting along the roads to see the King pass, and at every station of the railway the people cheered " Long live the King of Italy r His Majesty wore his uniform, and being in an open carriage was able to salute the people, which he did in a military manner. He looked cheerful, and it was plain that he was satisfied, not only with the news just received, but also with the spontane ous display of affection on the part of his subjects. No national guards, no regular troops were posted anywhere, from which it may be inferred that his departure had not been officially notified. Count Cavour had preceded the King to the ata tion in a close carriage by a quarter of an hour, but being recognised by the crowd he became the object of an ovation, which was repeated on his return, after he had saluted and seen his Majesty depart. The opposition of the Maminiaus has made the minister more popular than ever. We received last night and this morning telegrams reporting how the Kiug had been enthusiastically received along the route. We are also receiving accounts of the great exertions demanded of the lee lien and grenadiers who have been escorting the Pontifical prisoners of war, in their efforts to protect and save them from the fury of the people in the Marches and Romagna. The villagers and peasants had come up to the roads with scythes, reaping-hooks, and bludgeons, hoping to fall on them. It was a fear ful sight. The latest intelligence from Naples induces us to hope that Garibaldi is beginning to perceive that the MAZIIIIIIIII6 are ruling instead of himself, rob bing him of his popularity and depriving the liberal party of the reputatiou it had acquired in Tuscany and the [Em ilia by its wise prudence and temperate forbearance. Why Dr. Bertani should have been made a colonel and a secretary of state we do not know, but it has been a most unfortunate act. It appears that at Naples he gives orders opposed to those of Garibaldi himself, arresting persona at all favourable to the annexation, and that he has actuidly sent an order to the frontiers to oppose our soldiers iu case these may wish to pass . or be pursuing the remains of Lareoriciere'r form into those pro vinces where the republicans have introduced anarchy. I say anarchy, for the reepectable in habitanta are praying fur a regular government similar to that which is established in all the provinces of Central Italy, wherever, in short, our government Nis been installed. A deputation was on the point of leaving Naples to come here and request our interposition iu a sunder way, but the dictatorial government prevented it, and even banished some of its chief inenibers—Kilviu Spaventa, for instance, whose frankness had not only procured him the honour of imprisonment and exile from the Kings of Naples, but has now drawn down upon him the hatred of Bertaui. The exile has thus again come here to Turin, this sanctuary of the oppressed, where even Lamoriedirs may freely reside with the indifference of the public for his sole punishment. A Pitalmontese deputy, the advocate Reggio, has published a pamphlet entitled, " Cavour or I GariWili I" Ha points out in it the numerous abuses and faults of the persons about Garibaldi, and appeals to the General's loyalty to put au end to a discord so injurious to the whole of Italy. Couut Stsu:kelberg, the Russian representative at Turin, is, by command of his sovereign, to be at Warsaw during the Congress. Hence it is con cluded here that Italian affairs will be discussed there, and that ho has been summoned thither as a diplomatist well acquainted with the true state of Italy. Be that as it may, it will be no harm ' in Umbria awl the for Italy to have on the day when the confirms m me a e r ta hes an , in acc ili . c m il Pl y " slur Naples, fa which diplomacy may contemplate, and to disturb which would occasion still graver disorders, and provoke still greater dangers. But in order that thi s accom plished fact, as far as Sicily and Naples are con owned, may be accompanied with the mos t exemplary older, it is ner.s...ry th a t the M. sinians, through kindness or compulsion, should withdraw from affairs which they have contrived so to embroil. We are beginning to receive precise details of our losses, which, small as they are in corn. parison with the successes obtained, are still very grievous. In Cugia and Bavia we have lost two excellent artillery officers--the former a middle aged and the latter quite a young man, the son of a literary gentleman. Trombone, au officer of the line, was killed by six sabro-cuts and one musket shot. He had fought in every action for the last twelve years, was invariably wounded, and after each recovery became more intrepid, if possible, than before. Tenacity of purpose is the charac teristic of the Psedmontese, and it was well erne. plified in him. The seven ships of war that attacked Ancona be + bayed admirably, though the crews of some of them were below the full complement and new to the work. Rear-Admiral Persano and Captain D'Aste have covered themselves with glory. CALCUTTA AND CHINA HAIL®. BOUTIIMIPTON. TRUPADAT.

The steam ship Bohemian, from Quebec on the 22nd ultimo, which landed her advises at London deny yesterday, reached the Mersey at a late hour last night. The papers continue to give graphic details of the progreea of the Prince of Wales. His Royal Highness had commenced his tour in the United States under the most favourable aus pices. A telegram, dated Detroit, Sept. 20, thus records the proceedings in that city :—"The Prince reached Windsor at 8 p.m. by special train from Hamilton. The royal party were escorted on board the Detroit and Milwankie ferry from Windsor, which had been gorgeously decorated for the occa sion. When the steamer reached American waters Mayor Bahl, on behalf of the city of Detroit, wet omned Baron Renfrew to the United States. Arranged in the river and covering a space of nearly a mile in length was a large fleet of river and lake vessels, beautifully rigged with variegated lamps, and decorated with banners and emblems in scribed with words of greeting. As the royal steamer passed through the fleet each vessel sent forth a perfect shower of rockets and fireworks, and the warehouses fronting the river were splendidly illuminated. Fireworks were also let off from the docks, and the whole river was one complete flame of light, making one of the grandest displays ever witnessed. The royal party landed at the foot of Woodward-avenue, wherein, and in the adjoining streets, 30,000 people were assembled. An escort for the royal party, composed of the firemen of the city, bearing torches, and most of the city military, was intended, but the crowd was so great it was found impossible for the procession to form. After some delay, and the greatest confusion, the Prince was taken away in a close carriage, and driven to the Russell House unrecognised. His suite foi -1 lowed, escorted by firemen. The royal party will remain hero until 10 o'clock to-morrow, when they will leave for Chicago by the Michigan Central Railroad in a special train. A gorgeous car for the Prince's use has been provided by the superin tendent." A Detroit despatch of the 21st says :—" From au early hour this morning the streets in the vicinity of the Russell House have been densely packed with people, all eager to get a peep at the Prince. Just before 10 o'clock a.m. lie made his appearance, with two of his suite, also Mayor Bahl, the whole party intending to take a drive through the city before proueeding to the cars. A magnificent open barouche, drawn by four splendid white horses, had been provided. The party seated themselves in the barouche, when the immense crowd gathered around and blocked up the avenues so thickly as to make it next to impossible for his royal highness to pro ceed. Cheer after cheer was given for the Prince, and the wildest enthusiasm prevailed. The carriage was followed by immense crowds on foot, many banging to the wheels, while streets and aide walks on the route were literally blocked with people, who intercepted the royal party at every turn. After driving through a few of the principal streets the royal party proceeded to the depot, and took their departure for Chicago, amid the firing of a royal salute and other hearty demonstrations. It Wit. 4 understood that "Baron Renfrew" would bo received at the University of Cambridge, Massa chusetts, with no ustentatious display. The stn• dents will have an opportunity of . p . aying their respects personally to the royal visitor in one of the halls belonging to the university. The other demon stration will be exclusively of a private character. The Prince's squadron was to leave Quebec oh the 24th Sept. for Portland. Great preparations were being made in Boston to welcome the Prinoe in that city. The programme includes a grand ball at the Academy of Music and a banquet at the Revere House. LETTER PROM THE POPE.
