TEE conviction of GIONAM Muunre for the murder of Mrs. Esistav satisfies the public instinct, which had seized every salient point against the prisoner at the very outset of the preliminary in vettigntion of the case. The public instinct is no guide to justice ; but, on the whole, it is less prone to stumble or stray than a conscientious jury, per plexed by cross-examinations, and perhaps divided in sentiment as to the " sanctity" of a murderer's existence. The interests of social security are re assured every time that circumstantial evidence— almost always in cases of this kind the only evidence —is enabled to construct achain of moral certainties in which the sharpest forensic rapier can find no flaw. It may be better that a hundred guilty should escape than that one innocent should suffer, but it is not the less a public misfortune when the nice contradictoriness of chymical testa acquits a poisoner who has smiled for weeks with lingering affection upon a beloved victim of infinitesi mal doses. In such cases excessive medical acuteness combines with vulgar impatience to neu tralise the moat decisive testimony ; but when ever the common properties of a regular melo dramatic murder can be got together, such as a boot, a hammer, a bag of money, and a acmes well battered about the skull, and lying in a "pool of blood," any rational jury will convict without much fear of an outcry of horror next morning at the judicial murder of a victim of " circumstantial evidence." In this Step ney murder, which for the last eight or nine weeks has supplied a ghastly topic of suburban gossip, it must be confessed that the links of the chain of evidence against the prisoner, who was sentenced to death last evening, were many and minute rather than large or strong. Let us say at once that, after the most careful and anxious attention to the trial, we entirely accept the verdict of the jury. We shall there fore not be misunderstood if we add that many an accusation far more strongly supported than this has fallen to the ground, whether from timidity or inattention of the jury, from looseness in the' ' depositions, defect of skill in the conduct of the prosecution, or from a wayward resistance to some apparent bias on the part of the Court. In the present instance the prisoner himself, after the delivery of the verdict, acknow ledged the perfect fairness of the tribunal. Never, we are persuaded, was the merciful and indulgent spirit of English justice more conspicuous than in this trial ; yet never was its step more swift or its grasp more sure. There is nothing romantic or even peculiar in the facts of this Stepney murder. It is stale, common place, coarsely brutal in all its incidents. A widow woman of seventy, dragging out acheerleasand love less life in solitary, suspicious penury, living without so much as a servant in her house, and spending her days in scraping together small rents from needy families in a dreary suburb, seems a tempt ing object enough for the dark hand of stealthy violence. Yet there is something that appals iu the loneliness and forlornness of this wretched old woman, murdered by one of the two or three fellow-creatures to whom her door was not obeli nately closed, and found, after some four days' strange silence, murdered in a lumber-room ! Perhaps what distinguishes this case from the multitude of crimes is that the murderer, having once served in the detective police, employed his wits and his experience to dig • pit of false evi dence fur another man, and fell into it himself headlong. It was for the sake of the reward of 300/. that Mumnis " made a communication " to Sergeant Tswana; for the miserable old woman's assets (grossly exaggerated, of course, by the com mon talk) were insignificant in amount. Mciamis, therefore, having elaborately laid a trap for • friend at whose house he bad been in the habit of taking his meals, assured Sergeant T - that he had long had his suspi cions and now knew the man. "The man" was no other than his friend limns. Mrritims had seen Emus deposit a parcel behind a slab of stone in a shed. The shed was searched accordingly by Ser geant Tsarica ; but nothing was found until 3lettims stepped forward and exclaimed, " You " hau'n't half searched the shed. Look behind " that deb." Ilt - iaisa was turning detec tive on himself, and yet ho was surprised when he found himself arrested in company with the man hr had falsely accused. The fatal blindness which almost invariably accompanies the most diabolical cunning in • murderer had struck the false accuser here. He had prepared with his own hands the instruments of his discovery. The paper parcel which Mutarris had hidden in the shed was tied with a dirty apron string, and the inner parcel with a waxen curd. On the mantel-piece of his own lodgings a piece of string exactly corresponding, and a piece of cobblves wax were found. It •as not very probable, as the counsel for the prosecution put it unanswerably, that the man whom Mews* had falsely accused would deliberately place in the shed near his cottage the es idence of his c.miplicity in the crime, four weeks after the murder. But the plasterer's hammer with which he had been seen at work on the even int of the murder wa , also found at his lodgings, and one o f th e . %%,.u::,is on the murden.4l woinal.'i skull exactly fitted, according to with the edge of the hammer. The witimeses who attempted alibi for Minamcs were his their testimony was too flighty to rebut the evidence of strangers who swore to having seen the man on the night of the murder walking in the dhualion of Mrs. EWILRY'S house, and returning home at 5 o'clock next morning " in a circuitous " direction," in • state of great nervous excitement, and with his pockets " bulky." A pencilcaae proved to have belonged to the murdered woman was also proved to have been disposed of by the prisoner's wife a day or two before he gave information to the police. On the other hand, Emma, whom he falsely accused, was proved beyond a doubt to have been at Stratford, collecting rents for Mrs. EMBLEY on the night of her murder, and to have been detained at home by illness at the hour when Mumma declared he had seen him deposit the parcel in the abed. The case for the prosecution was rich enough to dispense with the evidence of a boot which the prisoner had been seen to throw into • dust-hole at the lodgings from which be had removed a fortnight after the murder. This boot corresponded with the impression of a nailed shoe in a board, which was produced in court, and some human hair was found sticking to the boot. But evidence like this the counsel for the prosecution, at the suggestion of the Court, very wisely refrained from pressing, and certainly the jury bad no need of it. There was ample room for the masterly defence, and not a single weak point escaped the penetration of the prisoner's advocate ; but the guilt of the accused was most clearly established by the materials which his own false accusation of an innocent man bad provided. And while the domestic tragedy at Road remains a secret, the conviction and condem nation of Muttnis, on the strength of mere circumstantial evidence, is to be regarded as a matter of public satisfaction.

" Victor Emmanuel is at Stead, which is 20 miles from Naples, with 25,000 men. It is thought that there will be a battle between the Neapolitans and the Piedmoutese." THE AUSTRIAN POLICY. The Paris Moniteur of to-day says :—" The Opinion Nationale published a note which it was asserted bad been communicated by the Austrian Embassy at Paris to the correspondents of certain journals. We are enabled to give a denial to the source which has been attributed to this document, and to de clare in the moat formal manner that it rests upon premises entirely destitute of foundation." Prefacing the note referred to by the Monittur, the Opinion Nationale publishes the following paragraph, headed conspicuously " ♦ CAMS BELL!. "We do not think we are indiscreet in giving publicity to the following note, which is said to have been communicated to certain correspondents by the Austrian embassy in Paris, and a copy el which has fallen into our hands. If, as we have uvery reason to think, this note is not repudiated, it results that a cams betli has been clearly laid down by Prince do Metternich on the Italian question, and that Austria is assured of the sup port of the sovereigns who share her views of public law. We need say nothing more of the gravity di the situation thus inaugurated by the return of the Austrian ambassador to Paris." The following is the note : The embassy of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria is authorised to declare officially that the rumours of an ex traordinary oneentration and augmentation of troops in Venetia, with a view to an attack upon Piedmont, is alto- gether without foundation ; that the nomination of General Benedek to the command of the army of Italy is an inert in no way confirming those rumours ; and that the orders, instructions, and information received up to the present time authorise the embassy to believe that an immediate attack upon Piedmont is in no way whatever contemplated by the imperial government. It is thought that Prince de Metternich, on his return to Paris, is charged to open nego tiations with the imperial government of France on the Italian question, and OIS an equitable and pacific solution. And [what follows is given by the Opinion Nationale in italics] it will be only after the failure of this last effort that the Emperor of Austria, in accord with the sovereigns who take the same view of public law as he himself does, may appeal to arms to as his rights, and the principles stipulated in the lest tre►ty. The Opinion Nationale, in another paragraph, says :—" The three sovereigns of the north desire not to give the character of a coalition to their re solutions. For this reason there will be no col lective note of their meeting, but only separate memoranda. We must confess that we do not very clearly understand the distinction." I am told that both Kossuth and General Klapka are now hi Paris, and have seen the Emperor. This WWII has a palpable bearing upon that of General Tures secret expedition, and of the dis trust of Austria expressed by the Opinion Nationale. It is confirmed that at the council of marshals, held the other day at St. Cloud, it was determined to create a 4th battalion in every regiment of the French army, to be called " the battalion of re serve." The decree will probably appear in the , Moniteur de l'Armite before long. At the Bourse the Rents opened with an im provement upon yesterday, and the amelioration was maintained nearly all day upon the strength of the report that a congress had been agreed to at Warsaw. A subsequent report (probably founded on the news of the premature termination of the meeting—attributed to the illness of the Empress Dowager of Russia) that the interview had resulted in nothing was also interpreted favourably. But within a quarter of an hour of the close of business a perfect panic occurred in consequence of the news given in the Opinion Nationale of a sort of ultimatum sent to France by Austria. The Rents, after having been quoted at Mfr. 10c., dropped all at once to 68fr. 80c., with a fall of 90c. from the highest point of the day, but of only At:. from yesterday. The rise which had taken place in Mobilier and railway 'hares was paralysed by this news, and they left off nearly at yesterday's prices. The Courrier du Dimanehe of Sunday next will publish an article by M. Horn, which may be taken as expressing the opinions of the Hungarian emigra tion in Paris as to the new Austrian constitution. They look upon it as a bad joke, and parodying the famous mot attributed by Talleyrand to the Count d'Artois say, "Rion n'est chime en Autriche ;it n'y a qu tune nuuvaise plaistuiterie de plus." These principal objections to the constitution are that it does not restore the territorial integrity of Hungary, but on the contrary expressly maintains the separation between Hungary and Transylvania, and leaves the question of Voivodia for "future consideration ;" that it does not even give the atatu quo ante 1848, which was universally deemed in sufficient ; that it says nothing of the palatine, who was always the born guardian of the Hungarian constitution, nor of any oath to be taken by the Emperor of Austria in his character of King of Hungary ; that the " prepa ratory measures" before the council of state (a sort of parliament mentioned in the decrees) is to meet may last for months and years, and that when it does meet its powers will only be " consultative ;" that the new constitution excludes the idea of ministerial responsibility, without which there can be no security for good government ; that instead of a national representation it cuts up the consti tuently into castes of clergy, nobility, landed pro prietors, tte. ; and lastly, that the bad faith of the Hapebargs is au historical axiom, and that the mo ment at which the constitution is launched proves conclusively that it is only the prelude of a reac tionary crusade in Italy for which the exequatur is asked at Warsaw. It is rumoured that the Chevalier Nigro, who lately left Paris ou the occasion of the diplomatic rupture with Turin, will shortly return on an ex traordinary mission. ITALY. 4AETA. commons= WITH GARIBALDI.) CASERTA, Ocr. tore to my imprison- r, but simply m a debt of petite& I owe to oar able miniker the }lOll. Mr. Elhot, who at the first announcement of my imprisonment did all that could be done to get me released. I have no doubt that it is to him I owe that I am able to breathe ems more the fresh air of this pima. At the first announcement of my adventure Garibaldi bad not hesitated • moment to send • putiamentair to general Etatuoci, asking him if he was disposed to exchange me with two Neapolitan colonels, caught on the 2nd of October, at Maddaloni. The King, however, declined, and I now feel Battered by the refusal. It was then that the action of Mr. Elliot began, and the diplomatist was more fortunate than the warrior. The animosity which the official people of Gaeta feel for Eng land is ridiculous. Cousigliere Ullea, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Prandial., and his colleagues, have got it into their beads that on the Ist of October Admiral Moody, on bearing that artillerymen were wanting at Garibaldi's camp, sent • party of our blue jackets to assist the Italian patriots. I need not point out to you the absurdity of this story. The true version of it is that about five of the alien of the Hannibal being on leave went down to Banta Maria to see the camp. They arrived at 10 o'clock, just as the fighting wee at its hottest point. Blue jackets who smell powder can scarcely be kept quiet; it ia their nature, and it cannot be helped. The five Bntons ran to the battery of Ports Captions., and seeing that the Garibakliaas were unable to mount a heavy 60-pounder, they took the job in hand, and in • few minutes the gun was doing its work. It was at that moment that • Neapolitan regiment was ordered to assault the battery. The officer of the staff who led the column of attack undoubtedly saw the blue jackets, re ported the fact, and hence the error of Francis 11. In the long conversation I had with Consigliere taloa I tried to disabuse the mind of his excellency, but I am wary to say all the argumenta I put forward to refute him were of no avail. For Signor Ulloa and his colleagues England is more than ever the " Perfide Albion." In spite of the Litter feeling which exists against England, I was, however given up, receiving long despatch, which I duly delivered to Mr. Elliot, to whom it was addnweed. THE FIRST ENGAGEMENT OP GARIBALDI'S ENGLISHMEN. We (Manchester Examiner) have been favoured with the following extract from a letter addressed from Naples, by Mr. Mason Jones, the well-known orator, to Mr. Walter H. C. Taylor, of LiverpooL It is dated the 19th inst. : " This morning I was at the camp, and saw the English Legion receive its first baptism of fire. I went by rail to Caserta, where I heard the cannon firing near Capita. On arriving at Santa Maria 1 found all the troops under arms, and the heavy gone unlimbered in front, ready for action. Everywhere on the road to Saint Angelo I saw traces of the great battle of the Ist instant—trees cut down and pierced with shot, and the ground torn up by the tramp of cavalry and artillery. In company with some officers of the Agamemnon (91 guns), I climbed the lofty hill of Mats, above St. Angelo, where we found Garibaldi himself and five or six members of his staff. frfata is the Dictator's favourite positioo for observing the enemy. From the crest of the hill you can look right into Capes, and see Gaeta in the distance ; before you is spread out the whole line of operation, down to Caserta and Maddeloni, with the Volturno winding through the plain. Standing here Garibaldi can see every movement of the enemy. While we were climbing the hill the firing was incessant, and a •hell aimed at Garibaldi bunt about sixty yards from our feet. We were in hopes of seeing some fighting, nor were we disappointed. About ten o'clock the Neapolitans in force attacked the position at St. Angelo. They marched before the camps before Cyw• towards the Garilualdiati lines. The English Lemon, which reached Naples last Monday, only arrived at the mime at nine o'clock, an hour before the fight began. They marched from Santo Maria to St. Angelo, and at once took up their position on the extreme front to the left, and next to Capua. They were immediately attacked. The legion, commanded by Colonel Peard (Garibaldi's Englishman), received their enemies with a shout, and drove them back in confusion under the very walls of Capua. The English were imprudently brave and need. lessly exposed themselves. The great difficulty of the officers was to restrain the impetuosity of their men and to keep them back. Foiled in their attempt to break Gari baldi's lino, the Neapolitans now commenced shelling their victor*, when Colonel Psrl withdrew his men under saver. All these operations were anxiously watched by Garibaldi, and soon after Colonel Dowling arrived and gave the General an account of the fight. He said the men had behaved splendidly. I regret to say that Lieutenant Tucker, the correspondent of the Illustrated Tiosst, or Nava was killed. lie only received his oommiseion this morning, and in a few hours afterwards he was a corpse. The Neapolitans left between 50 or 60 killed and wounded on the field, and did not venture out again to-day. They had evidently got more than enough of it. While we were standing on the hill with the Dictator, a Neapolitan battery kept pitching shells at him, bat they all went over our heads, and burst at the other side. It was anything but pleasant to hear the whiz of the shells in such close proximity to us, but Garibaldi took no notice whatever of them. I Lad • fine opportunity of observing the greatest man of this country. He was dressed in the famous red shirt, grey trouser, and wide-awake hat. He bad no Mars, orders, or pipeclay about him, but stood there in all the simplicity of true greatness. I do not wonder at all the men adiniring,and all the women loving him. None of the published portraits give us an adequate idea of him, and when his face is lighted up with a smile he seems the incarnation of goodness itself. No language can do full inatioe to the unaffected simplicity, modesty, and self unconsciousness of the man. I had the honour of a long interview with him. Father Gavatsi introduced me to him. He reoeived me in the kindest manner, and in the course of the conversation expressed the gratitude he felt to the English people for the sympathy and support which he had received from them ; but I must not say more, or I shall imitate the bad example and worse taste of Mr. Edwin James. This interview was the proudest moment io my life, and when this uncrowned king shook my hand, and said he was glad to see me, I felt more honoured than if I had been filed and flattered by all the monarchs of Europe. You see I sop a hero worshipper. In fact, I have not escaped the fascination which Garibaldi exerts upon all who come within his reach. I startled this evening by train, and had the good fortune to travel in the same carriage with the Dictator from Santa Maria to Caserta, where he has established his head quarters, in the king's palace. I sat on one side of him, and Captain Hope, of the Agamemnon, at the other. • • • " I have been through the horrible dungeons in St. Elmo and other prisons, in which the hurneoe Bour bons tortured and murdered their unfortunate subjects, and I have not yet fully recovered from the effect of the darkness, filth, stench, and abominations which I sow in them. The Neapolitans are the most con temptible race on earth, or they would have re belled long ago. I see Mr. Edwin James has been alarming the public with accounts of anarchy, robber y,rand I don't know what else besides in Naples. I can only say, from my experience, that the anarchy oxide only in Mr. James's imagination. The most perfect order reigns in Naples ; life and property were never so ware ; you may go for miles around Naples without • pistol or weapon of any kind ; and as for the reads being infested by brigands, I mast say that the most brigandish looking thing I have seen since I mom to this city is a portrait of Mr. Edwin James himself in the last number of thel teat rated London Alma ‘ ll4lB i * : .1 •.a "S.. :A7 B' • -01 • ‘OCTOB • • • to . ligT Ie :r .

Fighting has been kept up for the last three days between the outposts of the two armies, but nothing like a serious struggle has occurred. The day before yesterday the Inedmontese Brigade del Re was attacked in itsition of Casa Bianca, at the right of Sant An gelo, but the enemy was thoroughly beaten by t o brave bersaglieri. Two of these splendid soldiers have fallen prisoner., and it is reported they were immediately shot. I have been assured that the Piedmoutese, having pushed a reconnaissance under the walls of Capita, found one of the bersaglieri whose eyes had been torn from their sockets. Ye:terday it was the turn of our countrymen. The English regiment, commanded by Colonel Pearl, was sent as the outpost towards the right, and had hardly taken up its position when it was attacked by a Neapolitan brigade. The fire lasted five hours, with an interruption of two. The Englishmen fought bravely to the last ; the first and third company charged the Neapolitans more then once, end thoroughly beat them. Colonel Pearl lost six men, and had about twenty wounded. Captain Tucker, an artist, who had long resided in Naplm, was killed ou the spot at the battery of the left. This evening I C&T»0 here for news, and heard that the Piedmontese are advancing fast. A divi sion under the command of General De Bonner, having landed at Manfredonia on the 14th, is coming through Piedimonte towards Mad deloni. This explains why the Neapolitans of Cajazzo have moved in all haste towards Pant Agata de Goti to oppose the advanc ing march of their enemies. The King will by this time have reached P01114)14 where the concentra tion of t h e army will be effected. To meet Victor 'lmmanuel General Scoth d'Arragona has been sent to Urania to strengthen the small army of the Abruzzi, which General Klepi de la Grange ootn mends. The whole of this forte is not much below 14,000 men, and may beside reckon upon the armed bands of the Sanfedisti peasants, who are the worthy descendants of Cardinal Ruffo cruel ruflians. If the Neapolitans get beaten in the Abruzai they must fell on the Garrigliano, in whose plains a pitched battle will, perhaps, be fought by coneen tratiug the whole of the force Francis 11. can dim ples) of about W,OOO men. But such being the case, Garibaldi will in his turn attack Capua in the front, cross the Volturno, cut off the communica tions of the Neapolitaus, and by tumult; their position threaten their rear. Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of present ing two of our countrymen, Mr. Allen A. Bathurst, H.P., and Captain Keith Fraser, of the Life Guards, to General Garibaldi. We wore at break fast when Captain de Bohan, just arrived from London, presented him with a beautiful telescope sent to the general by some literary gentlemen. Garibaldi was delighted to receive it, and said to we, " All what is sent to me from your great and liberal country has an inestimable value ; I shall write to these gentlemen to thank them." He then asked me to tell him something about the authors whose names were engraved on the telescope. I satisfied him as well as I could, and he was pleased. The Paris Prtsse contains a letter from the head quarters of General Mix* dated Santa Maria, noar Capin, the evening of the 19th, in which we reed : "Yesterday the Piedmontese were attacked ; to day it was the turn of the English. Attacked by two battalions from Capin, they net only defended them selves with bravery, but thrashed the Royalists in such a manner that they will never forget the steel of the Enfield bayonets. The English regi ment had eight men killed and thirty wounde.l. This is not very much, but considering this is the SSA time they have been under tire, they have oar lainly paid their tribute." THE HOSPITALS AT NAPLES. THE RELIEF FROM ENGLAND. NAPLES,OCT. 20. I paid another visit to the hospital of St. Sebas tian* in the old College of Jesuits yesterday, and. as I bare hitherto condemned, meet now speak in high praise of the ameliorations which have been already introduced. Indeed, everything that could be done by energetic and disinterested efforts has been done by the commandants, Madame Mario, and Dr. Franklin, eche is se honorary member of the medical staff of Garibaldi. I went round the various warde, in which 700 or 800111611 were in bed, and could not help ex pressing my surprise at the greatly improved state of cleanli ness and order which exists in every part. The air was purer, the wards not so crowded, and the patients seemed move satis fied ; at all events, I did not hear so many complaints as I lad formerly heard. There were many cases of severe wounds, and it was touching to observe with what coartge suffering is eudurod. One poor fellow bad been shot through I the chest, the ball coming out behind under his shoulder; of course he was in peat daoger, and two or thiee of the gossips, who will come in, had placed an eagreving of the Madonna, with an imperial crown on her head, is hie bosom, while the effigies of several saints were placed be hind him on his pillow ; but if all the saints in Paradise had been there I think the poor fellow would have been =COW. scions of them. Broken arms and legs, and the stumps of limbs, I saw resting on the water cushions which our kind countrymen have seat out, and deriving so much comfort from them that any sacrifices would have been amply repaid by the sight. In one ward I saw them changing the coarse canvas shirts of the country for the comparatively fine ones which have arrived from England -6,000 in all. What a Hewing for those who are tossing in fever, or are worn oat with the agony of their wounds. "And them wounds," said the doctor who accompanied ns, " are all the worse that the royalists have cut or jagged the ball before loading in order that it might tear the flesh more. I extracted such an one yesterday." Indeed, were I to speak of the various applications of the kind and judicious gifts from England, and de scribe the comfort which they secure to the sufferers, I should hold out so many motives to my countrymen to continue their acts of charity. Nothing touched me so much as watching the mere children who were lying prostrate from their wounds or from sickness. There was one boy who told me he was not more than 14 yearn of age, who had received a ball in the chest and the arm, and yet he was smiling as merrily as if he was misting at a comic entertainment. "Oh r said Madame Mario to another " I must send you home ; you are too young to be here. "No," said the child ; " I won't go ; I will obey no one but God and Garibaldi." That name of Garibaldi has a fasci nation for them which I cannot describe. "Sometimes," said the doctor, " when having their wounds dressed, and suffering from intensity of pain, they yet cry out, ' Viva Garibaldi !' " Was ever greater influence possessed by a general, not merely over the minds hut the affections of his soldiers " But here is an infant," I said, turning to a little fellow, "who cannot be more than 12 years of age, though the child tried to make himself *out 14." "He is worth many a ' man," said a patient from his sick bed,• "he hes been aware near to me, and is as plucky as a full-grown soldier." At which the child looked pleased, end continued polishing a sword about half as tall as himself. There was another not far from him who had just strength to nail the likeness of Garibaldi to the wall, on which he was gaming an he lay on his aide. And so, walking on, we came to a room us which were lying four of the unfortunate British Legion, just arrived—one a lad of so delicate a looking complexion that it was easy to see, without keying been informed of it by the medical man, that he was suffering from a chest oornplaint. Two others were ill with rheu matic fever. They complained, more or less, of bad treat. meet and neglect on board the vessel in coming out ; " and yet," said one, with true generosity of spirit, " perhaps the fault was my own that I son ill." They were very grateful for attentions received in the hospital, and if any mother road these lime, and tremble lest it may be her PO who lies sick in the hospital of St. Sebastian°, let me assure her that he is well and kindly cared for.—Correspondent of rik{U.
