THE tardy action of the advisers of the Crown in releaaing SERAFINO PELIZZONI from the penalty of an offence which it hen been proved was com- mined by another person, cannot but begin to attract the attention of the public. Our laws pro vide no means of escape for one convicted by a jury, under whatever circumstances of mistake, save through the mercy of the Crown. But that mercy is no more than justice, it is indeed but a alight reparation for a grievous wrong, when it is invoked not to remit the penalty of crime, but to relieve - . the innocent from the consequences of an erroneous conviction. In truth, PELJZZONI has, on the facts of the case, alread y had a virtual appeal, and the result has been a reversal of the verdict against him. Evidence which, by • technical rule of law, was excluded on the first trial, 'was adduced on the second, further information was laid before the jury, and the consequence was that the second jury, more fully acquainted with the facts, con demned Gazooato, and by so doing ite. quitted Psuzzowt. The public end the Go_ vernment itself has seeepted that decision as cor rect, and in virtue of it GRIOOIIIO is now undergoing the sentence passed upon him for the manslaughter of MICHAEL Haagurarow. On what plea, then, can we still detain PLLIZZONI under the false conviction of the murder of Micaari. HARRINGTON ! The pretext that has been alleged by the Home-office is that it is necessary to con sult the judges. This course would have been proper and usual had the application merely been for a remission of the punishment on the ground of extenuating circumstances, or the allegation of facts not proved on a solemn trial. But it cannot be intended that a judge's opinion should overturn a verdict of innocence. We cannot punish HlLL own° because a jury has justly convicted him, and also punish PELIZZONI because a judge thinks that Gasoomo should not have been convicted. This being the simple dilemma, it is impossible to see the need of delay to consult a judge whose opinion can have no effect, because, if counter to that of the second jury, we cannot allow it to be acted on without overthrowing the principle of trial by jury altogether. We shall not ask our readers to follow us again into the details of the conflicting evidence adduced ou the two trials. At the first there was a very positive identification of PELIZZONI as the ►uthor of the fatal blow ; but the identification was in finitely weakened by a circumstance which at first seemed to add to its force. The witnesses swore that PELTIZONI was the only Italian who entered the room. But they had all sworn in their examination before the magistrate that there was a rush of Italians into the room at the moment of the fatal blow. When the reason for certainty disappears the consequent certainty must be re garded as of extremely doubtful value. But against this shaken testimony there is to be set the positive evidence of the Italians themselves. Every one of these averred that three or four— of whom Pzuzzosi was not one—broke into the room, tine they were set upon by a more numerous body of Englishmen, that qszoosao's brother was knocked down and cruelly beaten, and that then GREGORIO, seeking to rescue him, used his knife. And this evidence was in its main points confirmed by that of several of the English witnesses ex►mined on both trials. The police themselves saw nothing till the affray was over, but at the first examination they deposed that when they entered the room Pactr.zoxl itnme• diately preceded them, and was then given into custody by a Mr. KING, not, however, on any charge of stabbing. Of the persons actually struck, three in number, one was not called at all—a sin gular omission on the part of the prosecution ; one I swore differently on two different occasions ; and the dying man wan, when called on to identify his I murderer, in a state of unconsciousness, from which he was with difficulty, and only for a moment, aroused. It would have been impossible for a jury to convict PELIZZONI on such various and imperfect testimony, if it bad been fully before them. And if a jury before whom it has been laid has declared that the conclusion to be drawn from it is that G iteconio struck the fatal blow, the necessary meaning of their verdict is that Pmaz- ' ZONI could not have been guilty. The true explanation of the facts seems to be, that PELIZZONI was absent from the house at the moment of the fatal conflict ; that, coming in, on hearing what was proceeding, he entered the room with a view of drawing his countrymen away ; that, being then the only Italian in sight, and bearing some resemblance to Gazoosuo, be was seized and given into custody before it was even known that any one had been seriously hurt ; and that when the discovery of the wounds was made, the THE_ EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY -0, G: 0 4' • •I , 4 a a d i D •-• • We have this morning received advi. ;dated Madre*, Pah. 1L; Calcutta, Feb. 8 ; Hong Hoeg, Feb. 1 ; aisinlibourmy Jan. 25 .

It is imp."' comae their &oak to take Gamow°, their negligent and ~, lance of making a search for him, their prods • knife never proved to be his, nor in any way traced to his possession, in support of the case ageism* him, their declining to receive a knife proved to be thutoeszio's, and to be the sost es phis of indicting tbs fatal wound, with any ho nssedesire to find out the real culprit and to re lieve the innocent from blame. In saying this we do not think it necessary to attribute to them any other than strictly professional impulses. They made a blunder, and theynaturallychoee to stick to it. The first duty in their code is,when a crime is committed, to find and convict a criminal. Superintendents sod inspectors are not bred with a philosophical sines of the relative value of evidence, and the trade of watching for and hunting down offenders is not calculated to develop a love for fair play and abstract truth. In their own department they are moat useful, but the very qualities which fit them for service in it unfit them to act the higher part of public prosecutor. It is not now for the first time that we have had to lament that our law lays this dangerous duty upon them. But it will be still more lamentable if annoyance at being discovered to be in the wrong should now operate to make the Home-office, acting under their influence, re• fuse or delay the poor atonement of instant release to the unhappy victim of their error. To Mr. HENRY Nroastrn, against whom the police authorities seem now to be directing their indignation, the English public can have only the sentiment of gratitude. Knowing nothing of either of the accused parties, moved only by the disinterested desire to save the innocent by bring ing the guilty to punishment, be has spared no pains and been turned aside by no obstacle in fol lowing up the clue which the police declined $ trace. The refusal of the Home-office to take the duty of prosecuting Gzzoosio off his hands threw on him the invidious and painful task of not only seizing him, but urging his conviction ; but if he has the satistaction of having saved the life of a countryman, we have not the less to thank him for breaking through official difficulties and saving us from the terrible knowledge that we bad, misled by false information, committed a legal murder.

THE WAR IN BROOTAN. The intelligence from Bhootan is of a somewhat serious nature. Up to the 29th of January, four of our posts had been almost simultaneously surprised and attacked by the Bhoomas. The enemy were driven back in all four cases by our detachments, but, in OM instance, with seven casualties on our side in a detachment of fifty men, and in another with the loss of one officer and five sepoys killed, and one officer and 28 sepoys wounded. The fol lowing telegram has since been received by the Bengal government : From Coo& Behar. To Calcutta. From H. Beveridge, Fig., Deputy-Commissiouer, to Private Bemetery, Lleutenant-Govetnor of Beep!. . . . fith February.—Colonel Watson, on the 4th instant, sent a force to drive the Bhootese from a stone stockade which they had made at Balla ; but the fares at his disposal proved too weak. The Bhaotans were well protected, and we had a good many aumlties. Lint Millirtt of the 11th N. L killed. Lieutenant Camerae, Royal Artillery, wounded, and some 12 or fifteen Some wounded. Coleus' Watson has applied for the two gam Wagging to Cloak Behar. They will be seat off at ones. "Our troops," observes the Calcutta English man, "as yet have carried everything before them, but our oolumns, ridiculously small even at the commencement of the campaign, are now so re duced by the detachments holding our chain of outposts along the hills, and keeping up our com munications, that neither our open camps nor our posts are safe from the night at tacks and rushes of large bodies of an enemy who, however unwilling to meet us by day, are yet determined enough to fight for their hearths and homes in a manner which, in a great measure, neutralises our superiority over them in arms, in discipline, would that we could also add, in numbers. Harassed in • malarious climate by constant night duties to keep in check a tribe of men like the Bhooteas, to whom the jungle is a home, and through which they can crawl like wild beasts almost up to our very sentries, it is not to be wondered at that our troops are getting sickly. Fever is very prevalent, and the Bhootea rabble are allowed to swarm within a march of our camps, for the simple reason that our men, from over-work and night guards, are unable to bear the fatigue of double marches and clouts, for the purpose of dispersing them. The Bhoote•s can only set down this inactivity to fear. Oar troops must not only be reinforced, but must, in the difficult nature of the seat of war, have sufficient support available in case of need. It must be done, sooner or later, the rainy season is not so far distant, and the Bengal Terai, if it does not kill, must seriously affect the efficiency of the force." The Madras A then,eum apprehends a falling short of the revenue, owing to the great decline in the returns from opium, " Sir Quirks Trevelyan's neat financial statement," says the A thenmum, " is looked forward to with considerable anxiety, an.l the supreme government are economising as far as possible, and enjoining the same course on those subordinate to them. The cash balances also have fallen very low ; the sum of them last November being little above ten snores of rupees, which leaven but a small margin beyond the working limit. This is attributed to the heavy drafts from home ; but whatever the cause of it may be, the fact creates uneasiness, as the exchequer would not be able to bear any sudden strain, without borrowing in India or aid from England." CHINA. THE INSURRECTION. The China Mail says that the various ;muds of stragglers, consisting mostly of men belonging to the class from which the insurrection sprung, are massing together, the rendezvous being some tenor fifteen miles from Fuhohau. People are as usual getting out of the way, and taking t'isir most portable) valuables with them. We remedied this miny weeks ago, bat we wait in vain for any motion on the part of the mend/ries of the district, or inctructions from the authorities at Peking. All this while the rebel remnant are being enabled to consolidate their force and throw up positions of defence, and it is most likely that they are at present so engaged. It would almost seem as if imperial callousness bad reached the point of looking upon the subjugation of the Taepisg rebels as more the affair of foreigners then of mandarins ; •nd it is to be feared that the only way to awaken the Chinese government to • sense of danger would be to treat this reduced body of insurrectionista in • con ciliatory spirit, and see whether commercial relations of • satisfactory kind are attainable) between Teeple' and foreigner. It is just possible that these rebels might ea - brace such an opportunity of returning to the omelette of peace, and settling down in permanent homes. We are not at all sanguine on the matter ; but, as affairs now stand, or rather hang, a settlement of one kind or another i s moat desirable. Of course the arrangement just hinted at would involve the capture of Fnhchau and the appropria tion of the customs revenue, to which our new friends would have no objections ; and, as they may have learned better than to repeat the insolence to which they were guilty at Ningpo, when they fired " saluted" with allotted guns, it need not surprise us if the idea jest mooted should pia ground, even if it has not been anticipated, in the highest quarters. The chief of the remnant referred to is Sbi Wang, and we shall watch his movements with interest. JAPAN. The purchase of steamers by powerful daimios seems to have gone on more or less briskly in Japan. No less than ten Japanese steamers, we learn by this mail, were seen at anchor in the Straits by ber Majesty's steamer Arrow, which happened to be on a cruise of inspection in order to ascertain the reliability of some reports to the effect that the Prince of Nagato (Chiusin) had begun to rebuild his batteries. These reports were found to be incorrect. The steamers at anchor were said to be a portion of a fleet assembling under thirty daimios, for the purpose of punishing Nagato, for rebellion against the Tycoon. The names of the vessels already assembled are thus given by a Japan con temporary :—Lotus, No One, Sarah, Fobkieu, Stork, Carthage, Cosmopolite, Taotai, Gazelle, and Swatow. The Dutch Consulate buildings at Desima (Nagasaki) are announced for sale, and will pro : bably be bought by the English government. AUSTRALIA. When our adviose left Melbourne much rejoicing was taking place on account of the receipt of the intelligence from England that transportation to Western Australia is to be abandoned. In the Melbourne Assembly on the 19th Jan. the treasurer brought forward his budget. The re venue during 1864 had, upon the whole, been equal to the estimate he had formed of it, and there would be a balance available for the present year of about 60,0001 He proposed to expend during the present year 3,157,4281., of which about 325,0001. I would be forpublic works. Tbegovresusent would ARCH 15, opium, and Nvisions, ‘UaiMillvdare.ll.l7in'Tsmtruilhallel opposed, "but here is no reason to doubt," says the Melbourne Herald, " its being carried with, perhaps, certain modifica tions." The Confederate war steamer Shenandoah, late Sea King, was at anchor in Hobson's Bay. She carries eight guns, and was the vessel which burned the ships lately seen by the Coleroon and others off Tristan D'Aeuhua. She passed Cape Otway early in the morning without reporting her name, and was mistaken for the Royal Standard, and reported as such. The captain was thought to be too late to do much mischief. There vrah scarcely an American ship trading there. St vowels were due in the course of the next few weeks from New York and Boston, but America merehante say they are all likely to come under the English or Dateh flag. The month jhet concluded showed, as compared with its predecessor, a great improvement in the tone of business, credit hAving to a great extent recovered from the shock of the recent heavy failures. This position was strengthened when upon the arrival of the mail it was found that the crisis in England was over, that the mosey market was easier, and that no failures bad oc curred to embarrass any Melbourne house. The money market was in a healthy condition, and capital abundant. The rates of discount charged by the banks continued at 9 per cent, for 65 days and under, ani 10 per cent. for four months' paper. The rates of exchange for the out going mail were about par to a quarter per cent. discount for drafts on London at 60 days' sight. Government debentures bad been taken more freely lately at 1051. 10e. The position of mining affairs was satisfac tory, although operations during the month had been somewhat interrupted in consequence of the holidays. The excitement noticeable a few months ago bad subsided into steady enterprise, and mining throughout the country had experienced &thorough revival. The clearances of gold for the month amounted to 149,54805. 17dwt. Of this, 77,0570 z. were shipped by the Northam to Point de Galls; 13,8770 z. 3dwt., by the Kosciusko for London ; 8,5040 z. 13dwk, by the Anglesey for London ; 14,4450 z. 14dwt., by the Great Victoria for London; 2,0010 z. 171 wt., by the Mediator for London ; 8,3840 z. 10dwt., by the Yorkshire for London ; the remainder being shipped to Sydney. A large oomet had been observable several even ings in the south-west horizon. Its position was nearly vertical, and its long tail bad almost rigid straightness, "at once distinguishing its aspect to the common observer from the curved scimitar-like shape of our two or three last visitants of this kind." . The Melbourne papers publish a very remark able escape at sea. The new clipper steamship London, belonging to Messrs. Money Wigram and Sons, arrived iu Hobson's Bay on the 2nd of Janu ary, after a passage of sixty-four days from Eng ;Ltd, and reported that when off the Island of Trinidada a man fell overboard, that a rescue was attempted, resulting in the loss of a boat and a crew, consisting of Mr. Harris, the chief officer, and five men, who could not be found. But on the 10th the ship John Bunyan arrived in Hob son's Bay, bringing the whole of the " lost" crew and their boat, but not the man who fell over board. They bad been picked up off the island next day. A more remarkable escape from the perils of the deep has seldom been recorded. The public excitement on the news being published was great, and Mr. Harris and the boat's crew were " lionised." The salmon appear to be progressing favourably. With regard to the Victorian contingent, Mr. Sel wyn, the government geologist, has recently re turned from a trip to the Upper Yana, in the course of which he visited the Badger, and saw the salmon fry, whioh appeared in the beet of health, and rapidly increasing in size. A report equally favourable has been received as to the salmon in Tasmania. I B' ad i , e M. ire • . , . a • sugar, op ose p t . daiw.i.pon . . proviu •, doors,„ Xlow jewell r.

At eleven o'clock yesterday morning Baron Deasy took his seat in the Crown Court, Belfast. The greed jury having been swore, his Lordship, in charging them, dwelt at oosaiderable length on the late lamentable riot. The court-house acd its precincts were crowded by persona interested in the trials. A great force of the coestabolary was stationed at the court•bouse. Four troops of the 4th if =WS hare arrived in town. The grand jury brought in true bills for wilful murder against two of the prisons(' committed dung the last riots, and also fouled tree bills against a great nosy others for being io riotous mobs. Two or three cases were then called, but as Messrs. Whiteside and Batt had not arrived, the Attorney General consented to postpone all riot cases until this morning, when they will be prooesded with. Noun; SLESWIO.—Among the telegrams pub lished yesterday was one stating that the address from the inhabitants of Flensburg to the Emperor Napoleon, requesting him to use his influence to effect the reunion of North Sleawig with Denmark, bad "only" received 2,000 signatures in Flensburg. Two thousand signatures is a very large number to be collected in Flensburg, considering the size of the town and the political situation of the inhabitants. Taking this and also the Danish idiom into account, we suspect that a mistranslation has occurred and that what the Daublad—the authority given for the statement—really said was, not that only 2,000 signatures had been collected in Flensburg, but I that the number had been received in that town alone. This address to the Emperor Napoleon is of much importance, and we shall probably hear of it again before long.

The Minister of the Interior replied that he bad executed the law upon public meetings ; and upon the question being put to the house, the conduct of the government was approved by 166 against 70 votes. NEW ZEALLND. By way of Dunedin we h►ve intelligence from Wanganui to the 7th of January. Detachments of the 18th and 50th Regiments had arrived. A British force of 1,600 men was encamped at Kai Iwi en route to Waitotara. The natives bad congregated at Waitotara 300 fighting men, Ngaranru, Ngatiruannia, and a few up river They declare they will dispute and not allow the soldiers to cross the river, but this is considered bravado. The troops at Kai Iwi were employed in road making. Brigadier-General Waddy went out on the 7th to reconnoitre the pa in which the rebels have entrenched themselves. The Southern Cross of the 7th says : - - • . , Only a day or two ago we reeeived the startling Intel. ligence that nearly the whole of the Ngaiterangi tribe, numbering about 1,000, hat fled sod joined the king's cause again. ft is, perhaps, neosseary to inform the Eng lish reader that these men are the same who were some months ago induced to surrender and give op their arms ; who received back nearly the whole of their land which might properly have beau permanently °militated to the crown, and who have been since fed and clothed at the ex. pease of the government. The Wanganui Chronicle says: Up the river all is quiet and likely to remain so. Out at the Waiter► there seems to be some preparation for resistance. The Waiteroa pa, on this side of the river, his been made smaller and strengthened. There are said to be 80 Waikato. in it, headed by TaitiTewaru. On Thursday fresh reinforcements arrived of 17 ofßoere and 499 rank and lie of the 50th Regiment, and one officer and 20 men of the Royal Artillery, with two 6-pounder Armstrong guns, sod about 700 of the 57th. They will proceed northward on Tamday, under the command of Colonel Waddy. The go vernor goes with them. He his disembarked from the Esk in consequence of the threatening state of native affairs. and instead of going to Dunedin despatched the steamer to Twangs for iotelligenoe respecting the reported outbreak there. On arrival he found that Mr. Clarke, of the Native Department, and some friendly chiefs had indooed the East Onset native. to return to the settlement, sad slain there sow look quite settled.
