He submitted, however. that the concession+ mentioned by the right hon. gentleman did not go far enough.

WHILE the murder of the poor child at Road, and the infanticidal mania in Marylebone, baffle and confound the common-place dexterity of our Detectives, it is at least measuring to be able to record the conviction and sentence to death of as black-hearted a villain as ever stood in the dock of the Central Criminal Court. We feel a positive relief at this congenially dark and gloomy season in announcing that this earth will shortly be rid of one of the choicest specimens of the desperate wickedness that lurks under its fairest seeming, in the person of WILLIAM GODFaEY YOUNGMAN, who has cast a lurid light of horror even en Walworth—that chosen territory of vio lence and disaster. If crime has not diminished in intensity of late years, it is a matter of con gratulation that the diseased tenderness for criminals which disgraced this country a few years ago has in a great degree gone out of fashion. It is not that there is any symptom of a relapse to a cruel and barbarous penal code, or that punishment in a vindictive sense is treated as the sole cure for crime. On the contrary, the extension of the Reformatory movement manifests a prevailing sense of the paramount duty of prevention. But it is now acknowledged that a human creature who com mits murder in cold blood, and with,careful preme ditation, is a wild beast that cannot too expedi tiously be put out of the way by the Law that stands armed with GOD'S justice between the living and the dead. Day after day "The Walworth Murders " have warned the most careless newspaper reader of the fearful abysses which lie beneath the treacher ous crust of the most highly organised civilisation. Churches, laws, police, education, all the decencies and respectabilities of a well-regulated society, are not, it seems, incompatible with atrocities which we fondly imagine peculiar to fanatical races and savage tribes. And when we reflect that this group of murders which for the last three weeks has set the mark of CAIN upon a whole district of our metropolis, is but a paroxysm of the infernal envies, cupidities, and cruelties that are ferment ing and festering in thousands of dark and sullen human hearts around us, we may well be awe struck and amazed. The case for the prosecution of Willman GOD FREY Yov:ecuss is almost unique in the annals of crime for its terribly comprehensive and com pact simplicity. It would probably take half-a dozen of the most atrocious precedents in the Neirgate Calendar to equal this single instance in the combination of careful cunning and reckless ferocity. For cold and calculated savagery it would be difficult to surpass the wretch who deliberately entices the affections of a poor girl, and insures her life a week before her death by his hand for a hundred pounds, and then rises in the early morn ing, just after his father has gone out to work, to hack and stab through and through the brother with whom he slept, a second brother, his mother, and his "sweetheart "—not so much, it appears, for the sake of destroying the witnesses of one murder, as to enable himself to charge his slaughtered mother with them all. The culprit, it seems, was no novice in crime. Be had been discharged from one situation as • domestic servant, and convicted of theft, and on discharge from prison had managed to get another situation by a false character. Nor was his attachment to the poor unhappy MAY Fireurraa a sudden or recent affair : it had been broken off and renewed, and for many weeks before she came to town to marry him, or rather to be murdered, he had written her repeated love letters, the incessant burden of which was that she should attend with him to assure her life for 1001. The poor girl was of course strongly advised by her own family to do no such thing. Six days before she left her home her lover told her to come to him and bring all the money she could with her ; adding that there was no necessity for her to get the wedding things made up, as these could be had in town. Perhaps the least unnatural part of this tragedy is the infatuation of the girl. She loved this villain, as faithless and cruel men have often been loved before by weak women ; and the vision of St. Martin's Church and • wedding trip to Kew gardens was enough to hurry her away to her doom. The lover took her out for a day's plea suring, as if to prepare her for the sacrifice, and they both returned in the evening looking very happy. All this time WILLIAM GOOTRZY Yotrito- MAN was engaged to be married to a girl in Staffordshire, who actually came up to Lon don when she read of " The Walworth Murders" to find her " Wim.tau GODMIT " the murderer of another " sweetheart." The fatal blindness in the act of murder which often follows long premeditation and design is strikingly shown in this hideous business. Witusit Bonnet. YOVNOMAN had enough of the cunning of the thief to lay snares for the hundred pounds payable to him on the death of his sweet heart. But his furious greed will not allow him to wait even for the marriage, so he slaughters MAZY Smarm while she is only his mother's guest ; and how does he think to mis lead justice and defy detection f By murdering his two brothers and his mother, " that he might " go to the police•otlice and represent that the " girl had been murdered by her whom he had " killed in salt-defence." His story was that his moirer, in a it dinadness, had uturderettitar two children, and poor obi, her son's inset heart, and " that * had* been ()hiked to ki* his " mother in self-delenes." 3° wonder the only defence the able Counsel for the prisoner conk' set up was that the mother had commilled the murders in a fit of temporary insanity. It was perilous ground, with any jury of the commonest intel ligence to dilate on the evidences of the prisoner's ardent attachment for his sweetheart ; for a key had been found in the prisoner's posuention open ing a box in which was the policy of assuranoe, dated July 25, on the life of MART Warm filvazrrxx for 1001. Among the love letters put in evidence by the father of the poor girl there was one urging her to burn all her letters and papers, another urging her to burn all her lover's letters, and another telling her—ominously enough—she "need only " wear her Black Clothes at her wedding." The plea of insanity, we are thankful to say, is losing its efficacy with British juries, even when a whole sale murderer, who cuts his mother's throat from end to end, and stabs his brothers to the very vertebrae, and digs his knife into the breastbones of his sweetheart, is the interesting patient. In the present instance the Counsel for the de fence had not only to make out the poor dead mother an insane murderess, but to make the mother's hereditary insanity an argument for the hereditary insanity of the son. We rejoice that ten minutes were sufficient to convince the jury that WILLIAM GODFREY YOUNGMAN was not a proper candidate for an asylum. 'Ube Court. BALMOItAL, Auccerr 14.

TEN Hones Of LORDS AND TEN SAVINGS BANE BILL—Mr. Heller has given notice in the House of Com. mons "To cell attention to the refusal by the House of Lords to entertain a bill sent up from this house, intituled, ' A Bill to make further Provision with respect to Moeda received from Savings Bente and Friendly Societies; and to the assumption by the House of Lords of the power of limiting and prescribing the time for receiving and enter taining bills sent up from the House of Commons." PRZACHINO AT MIBBINA. —lt is now two days since Father Gavani began preaching in one of the public squares of the city. Hisaddresses have by no mesas the political fervour of those which he delivered in 1848.49, 1101 do they glow with the same fiery republicanism, but be still holds very strong language, and he strongly inculcates the necessity of forming a single and united kingdom, under the sceptre of Victor Emmanuel. It in true that, for the Sicilian population, a Peter the Hermit who preaches up a great Italian craeade has to begin with the beginning, and communicate to his hearers the most elementary geo graphical notions as to what Italy really means. But there is not much time to carry on these preliminary studies. To-day there begins to preach, in the cathedral church, Father Giovanni da Cutelvetrano, the same warrior monk who, ever since the battle of Calatallmi, has marched with the Geribeldian troops—end who, with dauntless valour, fought in the foremost ranks at Calatami, Palermo, and 34 elem. He is a good, honest friar, well calculated to address the masses. He spade a spade, and he possesses the ad vantage of being able to address the people in the giCallin. dia lect; whilst _preachers who discourse in good Tuscan er Roman speech are almost unintelligible. Father Giovanni is by no means mealy-mouthed respecting the abuses of the Papacy and of the court of Rome. He preaches Christ's free weed, and keeps repeating, " 1 shill be glad if I can only reach Rome alive, in order to tell to the Pontiff that the peat which he treads is no• the path trodden by Jesus Christ.' Father Giovanni's virtues and straightforward honesty can him to be loved and respected—l might even my ,rounded—by the whole army —bettaftvet aispiss. L, AUGUST 17, 18itt LIAST INTELLI4III4C4 MUT OF An INTERVIEW AT TOIPLITi. Next lb...above heading the Nord dir today Habeas a communication to which it attaches Alt importance. Nothing, says this account, want signed at the interview at Tceplitz, but the engage ments entered into were consigned, at the solicita tion of the Emperor of Austria, to a protocol which has been drawn up since the meeting. The follow ing, according to the Nord, were the engagements concluded between the two princes : " L The Prince Regent and the Emperor of Austria undertake to firmly hold together on the Eastern question, on the ground of the Treaty of Paris ; to prevent especially everything that can affect the integrity of the Ottoman empire, and to confer on this subject with the cabinet of London. "2. In the home question of Germany, Austria has made some important concessions, particularly in the military question ; she engages, moreover, to make no opposition to the liberal reforms iden tified with Prussian policy in the internal questions of Germany. "3. With regard to Italian affairs, the Prince of Prussia recognises that the possession of Venetia is of real importance to the Austrian empire ; but he declines all engagement on this head as long as the Italian movement is restricted to the Italians themselves. If, on the other hand, a foreign power takes part in it, the Prince Regent under takes to lend Austria the support of the Prussian forces. " 4. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent un dertakes to employ all his good offic- 1 and personal influence with the Emperor Alexander, to bring about a reconciliation and a rapprochewont between Russia and Austria." CONSPIRACY TO ASSASSINATE GARIBALDL EXPRESS FROM PARIS. trim oul,tiwn comizeroworwr.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. The telegrinw Which originally appeared in Eng lish papers reporting the landing of Garibaldi at Reggio, at the head of 8,000 men, appear to have been altogether false. Conflicting and unreliable telegrams from Naples and Genoa continue to be received, but nothing is certainly known beyond "this --that Naples is in a state of siege, and the King is making great demonstrations of resistance, while Garibaldi is combining his plans for en attack. It is now positively stated here that the alleged threatening note of Austria to Sardinia, which caused so much anxiety at the Bourse last week, has no existence. The Bourse was, however, much depressed. The Rente sustained a fall of 25c. for cash and 20c. for account, closing at 67fr. Mobilier fell 3fr. 75c. In railways there was little change. There is a general indisposition to do speculative business, and it has been estimated that beyond the brokers and their agents there were not more than 200 people on 'Change to-day. High hopes were entertained yesterday, when the weather took up almost miraculously for the fête, that summer was at length really going to begin. The new moon of to-day was confidently looked forward to as the commencement of a beneficent era. A bright starlight night, prolonged tills am., cradled the late votaries of the holiday in this illu sion. But the last reveller had scarcely gone to bed when the familiar black low clouds reappearzd, and although they have now and then retreated for a few momenta, it was only to take in fresh supplies of water, which they have been pouring down in torrents nearly all day. Nothing like this season has been seen for the last forty-five years. I hope it may be true, as reported, that in many parts of France the harvest is good—and the comparative firmness of the corn market gives some counte nance to this version ; but, speaking of what I know from ocular demonstration, I must say that the grass crops in the immediate neighbourhood of Paris are the worst I ever saw in my 117 e. Three criminals of the darkest dye—named Jo annon, Deschamps, and Chrdtien—were guillotined at Lyons on Tuesday last for a series of murders. The curiosity to ace them executed was intense. For several nights before the fatal event came off crowds of people encamped from sunset to sunrise upon the place of execution. When at last the direful morning came, a singular accident occurred. A man who had passed the night on the branch of a walnut•tree overlooking the scaffold had fallen off to sleep, like Lord Tomnoddy, just as the pri soners were marching out of the prison to their deaths. In falling from the tree he seriously in jured three or four people, and was dreadfully hurt himself. The brother of one of the culprits (Joannon) claimed the head from the executioner the moment after it was cut off, and at once wrapped it up in a handkerchief to baffle the cu riosity of the crowd. The body was given to him shortly afterwards for interment without funeral rites. In the window of Giroux's toyshop on the Boulevard des Capucines, there is now exhibiting a model in wood of the triumphal arch of the Etoile, and the public are informed by a scroll that it is a dissecting puzzle made for the Imperial Prince by order of the Emperor. There is always a crowd looking at it. lam afraid the youthful prince will be taught to believe that France really gained all the battles the names of which are carved upon that monument ; if so, he will have to unlearn a good deal of his history when he grows older. SARDINIA. The following circular appears in the Officio,/ Journa/ of the 14th inst.: TURIN, Atiorer 13. The Sicilians having risen three months ego for the con quest of their liberty, and General Garibaldi, with a few brave men, having gone to their aid, Europe was filled with the fame of his victories : all Italy was moved, and great was the enthusiasm in this kingdom, where the insti tutions and habits of freedom offer no impediment to the manifestation of public sentiment. Hence the generous sub scriptions and the great number of volunteers that have gone to Sicily. If in less disturbed times people were praised for giving sympathy and aid for the liberation of foreign nations, and it governments, in obedience, let us say, to the universal feeling, where they could not openly favour, yet allowed succour to be given to America, Greece, Portugal, and Spain, which fought for independence and liberty, it may be trusted that civilised Europe will judge fairly and tem perately of the measures of the King's government on the occasion of this irresistible national movement. Now, Sicily has come into a condition to empress , freely her own wishes, and the King's government, which has to guard all the constitutional prerogatives of the crown and parliament, and has also to fulfil that duty of supreme moderation in respect of the national movement which belongs to it, both by the proofs it has given and by the public consent, regard Asa a duty to moderate all irre gular action. and to cheek the illegitimate interference in affairs of state of any who have not the weighty constitu tional and moral responsibility which it (the government) owes to the crown, the parliament, and the nation. Other wise it might happen that, through the counsels and actions of those who havo neither warrant nor public responsibility, the state should he endangered, and the fortune of Italy damaged. And since in free state' civil order and discipline depend less on the rigour of the law than on public opinion, the undersigned requests you to eve the greatest possible publicity to this circular letter. The undersigned has many times given warning that it cannot and will not be tolerated, that pre parations of violence against neighbouring governments should be made, and has ordered that they should be prevented at all coat. He hopes that public opinion Is sufficient to check inconsiderate impulses, but at all events he trusts in the civil and military authorities for the prompt execution of the orders he has given. He enjoins, however, afresh that those should be sought out with still greater diligence, and punished with all legal severity, who, conspiring and trafficking to the injury of the national honour and military discipline, become enters and abettors of desertions. And since the undersigned has to carry out the laws re garding the National Guard, and to prepare the formation of bodies composed of volunteers of the National Guard as the laws enable, it will not be permitted that others should procure sod assemble volunteers in soy other manner. In conclusion, the undersigned must declare that if the King's government is constant in its desire to accept the loyal concurrence of all the political parties that aim at the liberty, union, and grentacee of the country, it is also fi rm in its intentiois not to let itself be superse ded by any one who has not from the King and the adage the warrant and responsibility of the government. Italy ought to belong and must belong to the helium, and not the eitiquen—ltraMill. REPORTED LANDING IN CALABRIA. FARO, Amer 13.

TO TIM ZDITOS OT THE EMUS& Snt,—On my return to England quite recently from a delightful tour through parte of Greece, Turkey in Europe and Asia Minor, I came by way of Messina, whee I had a most interesting interview with Garibaldi, that re• nowned champion of Italian freedom. He appeared delighted to seize the opportunity, while receiving the visit of congratulation from an English lady, to give her in exchange for her card a testimony of his high appreciation, written in Italian. The translation in as follows : "Messina, August 5, 1860. " The sympathy of the English nation, and particularly of the Signora, makes us still bolder in pursuing the career of liberty which we have traced out. "G. GARIBALDL" This noble-minded hero possesses, as might be expeeted, a generous and refined ex pres sion of countenance ; he was occupying the King's pa la ce with great simplicity, sur rounded by many of Ids devoted followers, anxiously waiting to carry out his directions and plans. Of course you aro aware that the fearful citadel is still retained by the Neapolitans ; it is situated on the Straits, opposite to the town of Messina. The terms by which Garibaldi came and took possession of the town provided that there should be a space devoted to neutral ground, the lines of which I saw were strongly guarded by the soldiers of each party. New fortifications are now being everted by Garibaldi on that point of the island opposite to the main laud of Calabria, and funds are greatly needed to early out his projects. May God long preserve his valuable We for the good of his country, and crown his noble efforts for freedom with great sucesaa—l am, he., A PATRIOTIC ENGLISH LADY. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(THIS DAY.) The SPIAILYA took the chair at a quarter after 12 o'clock. GALWAY HARBOUR 2) BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and sgreod to. WAYS AND Ia.ANS.-ADDITIONAL LOAN. The house went into committee of Ways and Means. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mused the following resolutions :—" L That, towards making good the supply granted to her Majesty, the commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, be authorised to raise any sum of money, not exceeding 2,000,0011/. sterling, by the issue of Exchequer Bonds or Exchequer Bills. 2. Th.it the principal of all Exchequer Bonds, which may be so issued, shall be paid off, at par, at the expiration of any period not exceeding six years from the date of such bonds. 3. That the interest of such Exchequer Bonds shall be payable halflearly, and shall be charged upon and issued out of the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom, or the growing produce thereof." The oh. ject of these resolutions was to replace 1,000,0001. of Exchequer Bonds now in the hands of the Commissioners of the National Debt, which would expire in November next and the government thought better to ask for an extra million on account of the prospects of the harvest and the prevailing prices of animal food, which would necessarily have an effect on the revenue. They therefore wished to have • margin of a million in case of need, which 'unfavourable circumstances might render ne• curry. It wee not desirable that the government shotod have to make loans at a time when the money market might be disturbed by large importations of grain, and at a Limo also whoa a lime military expenditure wa going on. Sir H. WILLOUGHthr Was sorry that the right hon, gertleman had found it necsmary, on August 17, to contem plate an additional burden on the country of a million, He objected particularly to that extra burden taking the form of Exchequer Bonds. He should be glad to know the total amount of ways and means which the right hon. gen. Uemaa had thentfor the year. This had been a very canon% financial year. It had begun with a large reduction at taxation, and was ending with a large increase. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had first estimated the expen diture of the year at 70,150,00 X ; since then upwards of three millions had been ♦oted for the China war. He wished to know whether 73,250,000/. would be the total of the expenditure, and whether this additional million would be in 61C6111 of that amount. _ _ Mr. W. WILLIAY9 rid the expenditure of this year was the most exorbitant he had ever known in a time of peace. Including the coat of fortifications and other matters, it would be nearly 80 millions. Mr. FIEWLEY said the house hail reason to complain of the way in which this matter had been brought forward. The house bad been sitting till four o'clock the previous morning ; and now the right hon. gentleman came down at noon, without any notice, and asked for a vote of credit for two millions. The light hon. gentlemen talked of the prospect of a bed harvest, but that had certainly not coma upon us in the last 24 hours. One thing was clear, that the Chancellor's financial calculations had been very fine-drawn, for only five months would elapse before parliament would have to meet again, and the necessary authority might then have been given. It would have been more fair to the house if notice had been given of the resolution. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not coned to say that no notice had been given, for the re. solution had been printed in the votes of that morning. (A laugh.) It was true the shortest possible notice had been given. As to the prospects of the harvest, every day's continuance of bad weather in August rendered those prospects worse. He had deferred providing for this con. tingency until the latest possible moment. A change in the weather a week ago might have rendered this step un. necoc vy. Had he not brought forward the matter today, it might have been necessary to prolong the Wild OD for that purpose. No doubt the year was an anomalous one— partly became we were carrying on war operations abroad. and partly trcame the house had made provision for cer. Min works of fortification. The total charge voted in one form or another was 70,100,000/. estimated in Febi a. ary • but on some items comprised in this there was a ;mall reduction. For China 3,300,0001. had been voted in supply, 2,003,000/. for fortifications, and 1,000,0001. towards paying off Exchequer Bills falling due in November. The total was 76,400,0001. Everyone knew that the amount of expen diture did not depend on the Chancellor of the Exche quer, or even the house but on the state of the public feeling. ( Hear, hear.) Though there never was a time when our expenditure was so large except in a time of European war, yet there was no doubt that the ribila feeling was rather in favour of still further expen di ture. (Hear, hear.) Though the period of the session was late, he hoped that the committee would see the propriety of making the additional provisions he now p Mr. HENLEY said his complaint was m &l ed no publio notice of the resolution had been given in the house. The notice was so short and imperfect as to be equivalent to no notice at all. The accounts of the harvest were most con tradictory; and everyone knew that 48 hours' sunshine would make a vast difference. . . 11;711AL1iffiZiatherliii hon. gentleman had assigned no reason why he had not given notice yesterday in the house. Hon. gentlemen had had no notice till the yoke came out that morning, which were not delivered till near 10 o'clock, and many of them had not lookcd at them. As to the harvest, he had heard from one part of the country that yesterday was a most delightful day. though it was very dull in London. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that if the committee desired a postponement of the resolutions he had no objection. He was absent from the house yesterday on public Widnes' at the time for giving notices of motion. After a few words from Mr. HI 4LIET and Sir H. WIG. LOUGHBT, The resolution was agreed to and the house resumed. NEW ZEALAND. On the motion for into committee of supply. Mr. JULIES asked whether the government really in tended to proceed with the New Zealand Government Bi'l this session. There was no urgent necessity for the bill end before next session there would be an opportunity of t Mug the opinion of the colonists as to the proposed alter. ation of their constitution. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the bill had been introdnccl in the other house bythe Duke of Newcastle. It had come down there at a late period, but not too late for discussion. The government would bring on the bill on Monday evening. BRIDGE-STREET, WESTMINSTER. en.wWto Sir J. 8113.1:iY, Yr. COWPER said it wu not likely that the house' on the south side of Bridge-street would be purchased for two or three years. It would then be for the house to deter. mine what should be done with the site. RED SEA TELEGRAPH, ke. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked if there was any intention of signing a convention with the Austrian government for the establishment of a submarine telegraph from Broura to Alexandria, also what progress was making with the Red Sea telegraph. Mr. LAING said the government had intelligence that the Rod Sea telegraph had failed in several places; attempts were being made to restore it, he knew not with what suc cor. It was true that a convention had been signed with the Austrian government, binding this govern ment to pay 15,0001. for 25 years for the use of the telegraph to Alexandria. The contractor; being unable to carry out their undertaking, had asked for a guarantee for 50 years ; but the government doubted the propriety of entering into these prolonged guarantees. Mr. H. SEYMOUR hoped that the convention would be broken at in consequence. After a few words from Mr. Loxoner.o, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the essential oonditioo of the contract was that it should not depend on the snores of the undertaking. He doubted the wisdom of such a contract, but it had not been made by the present government. Mr. E. JAMES said it was most extraordinary that • contract should be made by any government guaranteeing a certain amount without any corresponding undertaking on the past of the contractors for keeping the works in repair. He should take another opportunity of calling attention to the subject. The house then went into committee of supply. [Left sitting.] MILITIA &rimer= Convarrnz.—The select com mittee appointed to prepare estimates of the disembodied militia of Great Britain and Ireland for the year ending the 31st of March, 1860, consisting of Mr. SieWey Herbert (chairman), Geo. Peel, Mr. Headleen, Sir G. C. Lewis, Mr. Ellice, Sir J. Ramaden, Mr. Clive, Colonel King cote, Colonel Wilson Patten, Colonel Smyth, Colonel Pinney, and Colonel North, have bad two sittings. At the first it was ordered that ell Lieutetant-Colonels Commandant of Militia should be added to the committee ; and yesterday the oommittm considered the estimates, which were peed to, and the chairman wan directed to report them to the house. The committee then broke up. SATURDAY EARLY CLOSING.—This movement, which has lately made such extraordinary pmgreas among the retail houses at the West end, and more recently in the City, is making its way in the northern soil southeni parts of the metropolis, and finally premixes to succeed in the east of London. On Wednesday evg • crowded and animated meeting of young men e in the B dis pery establishments of the Commercial- East was held at the Seamen's Chapel, Mr. Crane, furs., in the chair, when reference was made to the progress of the Saturday early closing in other districts, and • confident hope was ex pressed that the subject was viewed in a favourshle light by most of the leading employers in the neighlanirhood of the meeting. After some discussion th e follosing resolution WAS unanimously adopted :—" That thin meeting respect fully request the Early Closing Association to w.iit upon the leading drapery firma in the Commercial-road, soliciting them to take into their kind considemt;on the practicability of extending the benefits of the Satunlay early elating movement to this district." An extensive committee was then formed, and the proceedings terminated with a cordial vote of thanks to the chinless. • • ,1
