The interest from investments is £120,959 12s. 10d., or £4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection with this important feature of the company's affairs the directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit and loss account again exhibits a considerable profit, amounting this year within a trifle to the sum of £48,000. It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount was announced in last year's report. Turning to the items constituting the charge of the year, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material; as was observed oz a previous occasion, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £309,000 tends to confirm that statement. The expenses of management are greater by nearly £BOO than they were last year. They would have been materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring the company's securities into the names of additional trus tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must be regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that they are only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE-SHEET, JrNE 30, 1869. DR.

There is a class of Paris Correspondents, the staple of whose communications one might describe very fairly as composed of innuendoes and insinuations. " Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike," they follow the caustic poet's suggestion to the letter_ meaning that they " just hint a fault and hesitate dislike." It has been thus with them especially dur ing the period of the EMPEROR'S recent illness. Their communications have mainly consisted of all the evil gossip they could scrape together. The general no- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1869. tion is said to be so-and-so—mentioning some mon strous absurdity, full of the most sinister significance. We don't believe it ourselves, but we give it for what it is worth—they well knowing it at the time to be utterly and irremediably worthless. Knowing these things to be untrue, to be the wildest extravagances, without one atom of foundation. Why, one naturally asks, Why, if they are so utterly valueless, as they are, why, in heaven's name, mention these lying rumours one after another, only to have them, one after another disproved in every particular ? Why ? Simply because these deadly foes of the actual regime are conscious that with the vulgar multitude, shallow artifices like these, may, by persistence and by repeti tion, be damaging in character to the last degree. It is a base mode of attack, and what is more, it is mean—because upon the very surface of it blazons its meanness. It instantly says I know that is a handful of mud I have picked up out of the kennel, and I have not the slightest doubt it won't stick ; but, at any rate, it may, and, therefore, here goes ! Referring to some of these creatures, a witty cor respondent of the Athenmum, writing to that journal last week, says —under the heading "In the EM PEROR'S Bedroom"_" Dip your spoon into his soup ; slip finger and thumb under his sleeve, and feel his pulse. When he sleeps, lay your head against his heart and count its beatings. Does he cry aloud in the fiercest passages of his pain, be at hand and keep the register upon a tally-stick, a notch to each paroxysm. CESAR is ill. He is in a blue flannel dressing-gown, ungloved, unshorn, with drooping moustache and lack-lustre eye ; the monarch put away, and present only the creature, tortured and shaken like any peasant of the swamps ! Then have at him. Sketch him when he winces ; be at his elbow when he turns away from his food ; reckon narrowly the chances against him ; and be sure he remembers day by day that his funeral can, at the most, occupy only two hours, let the car crawl as it may between the Tuileries and the Invalides. Then, when the old soldiers of the Empire shall have fired the last round, and the director of Funeral Pomps shall have folded the black cloths and carried off nimbly in the familiar green vans, who will give another thought to the thing that will be left in the vault under the new gilded dome, or to the Sword of Solferino that will lie beside that of Austerlitz ? Spare him not, albeit he has been a mighty worker in history. Rend his heart, if you can, while it is feeling flesh, by put ting under his eye all his littleness and all your in gratitude. Be quite sure you remember no good he has wrought; no nobility of intelligence and of soul which he has discovered ; no pledge of his desotion to France which he has given through the Herculean labours of his most marvellous life. Respect the burden,' said the uncle of the be-sick CiEsart of St. Cloud ; but hearken not to the voice from Marengo appealing for a pinch of justice to the flam ing sword that delivered Italy out of bond age. The lion is smitten : look then to the heavi ness of your hoofs." Deliberately though the lash is handled, in all this, it is stinging, it strips off the epidermis, and flays the offenders, sometimes, to the bone. The cruel side of the character of these cor respondents, the writer to the Athenceum maintains, has peeped out ominously of late in this way, under what has been evidently an irresistible temptation. "In the thousands of light-hearted readers who can enjoy fantastic dancing by the banks of the Styx," he writes, "who can find no better use for a poor human skull than to fix a gala candle in it; and who can laugh and be merry over the daily- visits of three doctors to their SOVEREIGN—there is surely something wanting ! In this fierce, cutting levity, this banqueting on a sur gical table—and this utter forgetfulness of every item of a debt to the man whom they covered with garlands when he came along these boulevards at the head of his conquering army from Italy—there is a leaven inexpressibly repulsive to men of calmer race and blood." If only the writer's reproof could, for once, he take❑ to heart by these wrong-headed and (worse !) wrong-hearted Correspondents, the news from Paris would not so very often be irritating to the last degree to the man of the world, and de pressing to the last degree to the student of human nature. FRENCH politics have suddenly sunk into insignifi cance. The EMPEROR, though better, is yet in deli cate health, and his well-being is as much as ever a question of absorbing importance. The great political crisis of the year can hardly be deemed at an end. There is some prospect of a complication with Prussia respecting that old sore—the Grand Duchy of Baden. But the French people, with its ever eager interest in all that relates to crime, has forgotten these trifles in the absorbing excitement of the Pantin murders. The magnitude of the crime, the mystery in which it is shrouded, and the dramatic capture of the leading, if not the only, assassin, contribute to form a story which surpasses the horrors of the Marseilles poison ings. Very early on the morning of Monday week the bodies of a woman and five children were found lightly buried in a piece of waste land at Pantin, a small village to the north-east of Paris. A farm labourer going to his work, observed pools of blood on some freshly-dug ground ; then he discovered a handkerchief covered with a clod ; a very little search revealed a human hand ; and soon the bodies of a mother, three boys, and two girls were uncovered. The Parisian police, despite their perfect organisation, could for some time make nothing of this amazing discovery. The bodies were evidently those of a respectable family, but their identity remained unknown for some little time, and the first collection of evidence was a curiously tangled skein of errors. The murdered persons were found to be the wife and children of a prosperous wood-turner named JEAN KINCK, who lived at Roubaix. Besides the mother, father, and five children, there was aso nnamed GUSTAVE. M. KINCK was a native of Alsace, and wishing to devote his residence at Roubaix to business, he proposed that the family should live in Alsace, where he had property. The wife objected, and on this point a quarrel, it was said, ensued. The father and the son GUSTAVE left Roubaix and went to Alsace, about a month ago ; and, shortly after wards the husband made a demand for £220 from his wife, which she reluctantly sent him. Then M. KINCK and his eldest son met in Paris. On a pressing letter from her husband the wife quitted Roubaix with her children, and proceeded to the Hotel du Chemin do Fer du Nord, in the French capital. This was pretty nearly all that was heard of them previously to the murder. How the family were de coyed to Pantin no one could tell ; but that they had been enticed to the village by the father and the eldest son, and that these two latter perpe trated the crimes, the evidence at first seemed to establish conclusively. Neither M. KINCK nor GUSTAVE were heard of for some days after the butchery. It was ascertained that a young man who described himself as JEAN KINCK, engineer of Roubaix, had spent several days at the Hotel du C'hemin de Fer du Nord. It was certain that a lady with five children had called twice at the hotel on the evening of Sunday week, and had inquired for M. JEAN KINCK. The same evening the entire party of six gave up their tickets at the Paulin railway station. The bodies were found at three o'clock the next morning. At eight o'clock, the man who called himself M. JEAN KINCK came to the hotel with another man, changed his clothes, and left in a hurry never to return. In the drawers of his room were found a bloody shirt and trousers. These facts might well seem decisively to prove that the father and the eldest son had done the unparalleled deed. The man who called himself at the hotel M. JEAN KINCK was, indeed, very young, whilst the real , JEAN Knrcx was 45 years of age ; but it appeared not unreasonable to conclude that the son had for some purpose taken the name of the father. No sufficient motive for such a crime could be discovered ; but one fact was unanswerable—it had been done. Nevertheless, this connected theory has turned out to be quite erroneous. It is now all but certain that neither the father nor the son GUSTAVE had anything to do with the assassination, and it is quite positive that they were not the only nor the principal actors. The " JEAN KINCK " who stayed at the hotel was captured at Havre last Thursday, and the arrest of the son GUSTAVE was forthwith proclaimed. It was not, however, GUSTAVE, but an Alsatian named TRAUPMANN, a friend of the KINCK family, who had taken up his residence at the Paris hotel under the name of JEAN KINCK, and who was captured at Havre. This man TRAUPMANN is, on his own con fession, the real murderer. The story has now assumed quite a different aspect. The son GUSTAVE, it transpires, was little more than 16 years of age, and of a very inoffensive disposition. The quarrel between the husband and wife appears to have been merely a difference of opinion : the first insisting on removing his business to his native town, Guebwiller, in Alsace ; the second preferring to remain at Roubaix. The husband prevailed, and set out for Guebwiller to make preparations for the establishment of his business there, parting from his wife, with whom he had lived on very good terms, in a friendly manner. The £220 was sent in a regis tered letter to the Post Office at Guebwiller, in order that M. linsrcx might get it on his arrival. But though the father set out for his native place, he was never seen there, and the registered letter still lies at the Post Office. A young man answering to the description of TRAUPMANN called nearly a month ago, and demanded the letter, representing himself as JEAN KINCK. The postmaster, however, knew the wood turner of Roubaix, and refused to give up the money. The whole tragedy thus becomes tolerably clear. It is not quite certain whether TRAUPMANN com mitted the murders alone or in conjunction with the father and son, but the evidence is much in favour of the former supposition. TRAUPMANN in his confession affirms that the crimes were the work of th• three. The difficulty of one man murdering a woman and five children in such a place, is, however, the only fact in support of this avowal. The supposition to which the circumstances now point is that TRAUPMANN murdered the father and the son GUSTAVE, in order to get the £220 which he knew was lying at the Guebwiller Post-office. Defeated through the postmaster's knowledge of M. KiNcx, he may have thought that the destruction of the whole family was his only hope of safety. With that object he endeavoured to lure them to Paris. It is noticeable that the letters which Madame KINCK received, ostensibly from her husband, were in another hand writing—the reason assigned being that M. lUNCK had sprained his hand, and was unable to write. One of the letters announced that the husband had given up his idea of settling at his native town, and had found a place of business at Paris, to which city he requested his wife and children to proceed. The poor woman, overjoyed at the thought of getting free from the Guebwiller project, which she disliked, at once started for Paris, and then proceeded to Pantin, whither TRAUPMANN had been beforehand and dug the graves of herself and children. Such an explanation is not wholly satisfactory, for the madness which designed the butchery seems scarcely compatible with the ability with which it was executed. Moreover, it still remains to be known how the wholesale massacre was so completely effected by one man. But this is undoubtedly the most trustworthy theory.. The intelligence that the son GUSTAVE has been found dead, with a knife in his throat, almost sets the question at rest. TRAUPMANN must have been the only murderer, or, at all events, he can have re ceived no aid from the father or the son. CHARLES DICKENS iN BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, Monday. This evening the winter session of the Birming ham and Midland Institute was opened with an inaugural address in the Town Hall, by Mr. Chas. Dickens. There was a very large and brilliant audience. Nr. DICKENS, who was received with cheers, said—We often hear of our common country that it is an over-pauperised one, that it is an over colonised one, that it is an over-taxed one. I have entertained, especially of late times, the heretical belief that it is an over-talked one— (laughter)—and that there is a deal of public speech making going about in various directions which might be advantageously dispensed with. If I were free to act as your president for the time being upon this conviction, I should immediately subside into golden silence, which would be of a very edifying because of a very exemplary character. But I happen to be the Institution's willing servant, nor its imperious master, and it exacts tribute of some silver or copper speech, not to say brazen, from whomsoever it exalts to my high office. I became rather alarmed when I was duly warned that my speech would be termed an inaugural address, for, be sides that the phase is something high sounding for my taste, 1 avow that I do look forward to that blessed time when every man shall inaugu rate his own work for himself, and do it. I be lieve that we shall then have inaugurated a new era, indeed, and one i n which the Lord's Prayer will become a fulfilled prophecy upon this earth. You cannot need from me any rheto rical declamation concerning the abstract ad vantages of knowledge or the beauty of self-improvement. (Hear, hear.) If you have such a requirement you would not be here. I conceive that you are here because you have become fully impressed with such truths—because you feel the welfare of a great (chiefly adult) educational esta blishment, whose doors stand really open to all sorts and conditions of people, to be inseparable from the best welfare of your great town and its neighbourhood. Nay, we may take a wider range, and say that the benefits of such an establishment must extend beyond the limits of this midland country's fires and smoke, and must comprehend in some sort the whole community. It was suggested by Mr. Babbage in his ninth Bridgewater Treatise, that a mere spoken word—a single articulated syl lable thrown into the air—may go on reverberating through illimitable space for everand forever, seeing that there is no r i m aga i ns t which it can strike, no boundary at w hi c h i t can possibly arrive. Simi larly, it m a y b e sa i d, not as an i n genious specula tion, but as an a b so l ute f ac t, that human calcula tion cannot limit th e i n fl uen ce of one atom of wholesome knowled ge pa ti en tly a cquired, modestly possessed, and faithf u ll y use d. As the astronomers tell us it is probable there are in the universe in numerable solar systems besides ours, to each of which myriads of utterly unknown and unseen stars belong, so it is certain that every man, however ob scure and however far removed from the general re cognition, is one of a group of men impressible for good and impressible for evil, and that it is in the eternal nature of things that he cannot really im prove himself without in some degree improving other men. (Cheers.) And this is especially the case when he has improved himself in the teeth of a Iverse circumstances, as in a cultivated maturity succeeding to a neglected or ill-taught youth— when a man in the few intervals of a toiling life has wrested some enlightenment and self-respect from what Lord Lytton finely calls " those twin gaolers of the daring heart—low birth and iron fortune." (Cheers) There could be very few per sons in Birmingham, of all persons under heaven, who would contest the truth which you have esta blished, that the more cultivated the employed the better for the employer, and the more cultivated the employer the better for the employed. In sixteen years your institution has outgrown the ample edi fice in which it receives its 2,500 members and stu dents. It is a most cheering sign of its vitality that of its industrial students almost one half are artisans in the receipt of weekly wages. hear.) Four hundred others are clerks, apprentices of tradesmen, and tradesmen's sons; and the attendance in your educational classes is always greatest on the part of the artisans•--the class within my experience the least reached in similar institutions elsewhere, but whose name is oftenest and the most constantly taken in vain. (Cheers.) That class has been specially reached, not improbably because it has been specially addressed. A bold and triumphantly successful experiment has been the introduction of evening classes, in which the student may receive lessons on subjects bearing directly upon his daily usefulness and happiness, for the astoundingly low fee of a penny every time he attends a class. (Hear, hear.) I look upon that as one of the most remark able schemes ever devised for the educational be hoof of the artisan; and if this institution had done nothing else I would take my stand by it on its having done that. The practical results have been highly satisfactory, for, with one exception, every one of the industrial students who have taken prizes within ten years has since climbed to a higher station in his way of life. (Cheers.) The-ex tent to which it teaches the artisan to think, and so, for instance, to rise superior to the little shackles and the prejudiced observances existing in his trade when they will not bear the test of in quiry, is only to be equalled by the extent to which it encourages him to feel. There is a certain tone, a modest manliness, prevading all the little records I have looked over which I find remarkably im pressive. The decided objection on the part of in dustrial students to attend the classes in their work ing clothes proves this tone as being a graceful, and yet, at the same time, perfectly independent, re cognition of the place and of oue another. (Hear, hear.) I will now come to that which, in my opinion, it remains for the institution to do and not to do, and then, as Mr. Carlyle says towards the closing pages of his grand " History of the French Revolution," " this, with due brevity disposed of, then courage, oh, listen ! I see land." (Cheers and laughter.) I earnestly hope, and I firmly believe, that the Institution will do henceforth as it has done hitherto—that it will know among its mem bers no distinction of person or creed of party— (cheers)—but that it will conserve its place of as semblage as a high pure ground on which all such considerations are merged into the one universal Heaven-sent aspiration of the human soul to be wiser and better. I hope and I believe, that it will ever be expansive and elastic; for ever seeking to enlarge the circle of its members ; never any more disposed to stand still than time, or life, or the seasons do. I hope it never will allow itself for any consideration, to patronise or be pationised— (cheers)—for I firmly believe that the bestowal and the receipt of patronage iu such wise has been the curse of England—(hear, hear)—and it has done more to pervert really good objects, and to lower really high character, than the utmost efforts of the narrowest antagonism could have effected in twice the time. I have no fear that the walls of this Instititution will ever tremble re sponsive to the croaking of the timid opponents of intellectual progress—(cheers) ;—and in this con nection I cannot forbear from offering a remark which is much upon my mind. It is much too com- monly assumed that this age is a material age, and that a material age is an irreligious age. I have been pained lately to see this assumption repeated in certain influential quarters. lam afraid that by dint of being onstantly reiterated without protest, this assumption—which I take leave altogether to deny —may be accepted by the more unthinking part of the public as unquestionably true. Just as some caricaturists and painters, professedly making a picture of some public man—not in the least like him to begin with—have gone on repeating and repeating it, until the public have come to believe that it must be exactly like bim, simply because it was like itself, and really have at last in the fulness of time grown almost disposed to re sent upon him their tardy discovery that he was not like it. (Laughter.) I confess that I don't un derstand that much-used and much-abused phrase, "a material age." I cannot comprehend—if any bndy can, which I very much doubt—its logical signification. For instance, has electricity become the more material in the mind of any sane, or rno derwely insane— (laughter) man, woman, or child, because of the discovery that in the good providence of God it was made available for the service and use of man tc an immeasurably greater extent than for his destruction ? Do I make a more material journey to the bedside of my dying parent or child when I travel thither at the rate of 60 mi;es an hour than when I travel at the rate of six? Rather, in the swift case, does not my ago nised heart become overfraught with gratitude to that supreme beneficence from which alone can have proceeded the wonderful means of shortening my suspense? What is the materiality of the cable and the wire compared to the immateriality of the spark ? What is the materiality of certain chemi cal substances that I can weigh and measure, imprison or release, compared with the imma- teriality of their appointed affinities and repulsions prescribed to them from the instant of their crea tion to the Day of Judgment? When did this so called material age begin ? With the use of cloth ing? With the discovery of the compass? With the invention of printing? Surely it has been a long time about. Which is the more material ob- ject—the farthing tallow candle that will not give me light, or the flaming gas that will ? (Cheers.) No ; don't let us be discouraged or deceived by vain, vapid, empty words. The true material age is the stupid Chinese age in which no new and grand revelations of nature are granted, because they are ignorantly and insolently repelled, instead of being diligently and humbly sought. (Cheers.) The difference between the antique fiction of the mad broggart defying the lightning and the mo dern historical picture of Franklin drawing it towards his kite in order that he might the more profoundly study what was set before him to study (or it would not have been there), happily expresses to my mind the difference between our much maligned material sages and the certainly, in one sense, very immaterial sages of the Celestial Empire school. Consider whether it is likely or unlikely, natural or unnatural, reasonable or un reasonable, that I, being capable of thought, and finding myself surrounded by such discovered won ders on every hand, should ask myself the ques tion sometimes and put to myself the solemn consi deration, " Can these things be amongst those which might have been disclosed by divine lips nigh upon 2,000 years ago, but that the people of that time could not bear thorn?" But whether that be so or not, I being so surrounded on every hand, is not my moral responsibility tremendously in creased thereby and with it my intelligent submis sion of myself, as a child of Adam and of dust, before that shining source equally of all that is granted and all that is withheld, who holds in His mighty hands the unap proachable mysteries of life and death ? (Cheers.) Let me give the students of the industrial classes generally a short motto in two words—" Courage, persever." I don't give them that motto be cause the eyes of Europe are upon them, for I do not in the least believe it—(laughter)—nor because the eyes of England are upon them, for I do not in the least believe that either ; nor because their doings will be proclaimed with blast of trumpet at the street c )rners, for no such musical performance will take place-- (laughter)—not be cause self-improvement is at all certain to lead to worldly success, but simply because it is good and right of itself, and, therefore, will assuredly bring with it its own resources and its own re wards. I would further commend to them a wise and witty piece of advice on the conduct of the understanding which was given more than half a century ago by the Rev. Sydney Smith— wisest and wittiest of the friends I have lost. Speaking to a circle of voluntary students, he says :--•" There is a piece of foppery which is to be cautiously guarded against—the foppery of universality, of knowing all sciences, of excel ling in arts—chemistry, mathematics, algebra, dancing, history, reason, riding, fencing, Low Dutch, High. Dutch, and natural philosophy. In short, the modern precept of education very often is—take the Admirable Crichton for your model, and be ignorant of nothing. My ad- HER MAJESTY.

(Per French Atlantic Cable.) NEW YORK, Sept. 27. The Gold Board held no sitting to-day. The outside transactions were small and irre gular. Settlements are nearly completed. There will probably be no failures. Mr. Boutwell, the Secretary of the Treasury, has ordered the sale of $2,000,000 in gold and the pur chase of $2,000,000 worth of bonds weekly until the Ist November, in addition to the fortnightly purchase of $1,000,000 worth of bonds under the Sinking Fund Act. M. de Bille, the new Danish Minister, was offi cially received by the President on Saturday. Dr. Hall, the Arctic explorer, arrived at New Bedford yesterday from Repulse Bay, after an absence of five years. He discovered the skeletons of several of Sir John Franklin's party at King William's Land, and he brings numerous relics of the Franklin expedition. The Inman Royal Mail steamer City of New York arrived out yesterday. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CLOSING PRICES. Gold closed at 131; ; the highest quotation dur ing the day was 131; the lowest, 131.

The Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon and Count Farrobo are both dead. vice, on the contrary, is to have the courage to be ignorant of a great number of things in order that you may avoid the calamity of being ignorant of everything." (Cheers and laughter.) To this I would superadd a little truth, which holds equally good of my own life and of the life of every eminent man I have ever known. The one serviceable, safe, certain, remunerative, attainable quality in every study and in every pursuit is the quality of attention. My invention or imagination, such as it is, I can most truthfully assure you would never have served me as it has but for the habit of commonplace, humble, patient, daily toiling, drudging attention. Genius, vivacity, quicknessof perception, and brilliancy in the associa tion of ideas—such mental qualities, like the secret of the apparition of the armed head in " Macbeth," will not be commanded; but attention, after due term of submissive service, always will. Like cer tain plants which the poorest peasant may grow on the poorest soil, it can be cultivated by anyone, and it is certain in its own good season to bring forth flower and fruit. (Hear, hear, and applause.) I cannot but reflect how often you have probably heard within these walls one of the foremost men, and certainly one of the best (if not the very best) speakers in England. (Cheers.) I could not say to myself, when I began just now in Shakspere's line, " I will be bright and shining gold"—(cheers and laughter) —but I could and did say to myself, " I will be as easy and as natural as I possibly can, because my heart has long been in my [subject, and I bear an old love towards Birmingham and towards Birmingham men and women." The ring I now wear was a Bir mingham gift; and if by rubbing it I could raise the spirit that was obedient to Aladdin's ring, I assure you that my first instructions to the geni on the spot would be to place himself at Birming ham's disposal in the best of causes. (Cheers.) On the motion of Mr. G. DIXON, M.P., a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Dickens ; and the assem bly separated. 6 It tuntlat FRANCE. PARIS, Sept. 28.

Joseph Herald, an American paper, contains the following, which is furnished by a correspondent: — 1 " While at Barnum's Hotel, in St. Louis, in the fall, of the year 1861, wo were attracted by the name of: Major George Gordon De Luna Byron entered upon, the register. After some inquiry the Major was, pointed out to us, dressed in the uniform of a Federal officer. He was a man advanced in years, but erect and vigorous, with close curling auburn hair tinged with grey, prominent nose, clear grey eyes, and a general resem blance to Lord Byron sufficient to arrest the attention of any ono familiar with the portrait of the pout. He pro fessed to have been present at the destruction of Byron'° journal, which, he said, contained allusions to the causes of his separation from Lady Byron, which, according to his account, were as follows :—During Byron's first visit to Spain he met, loved, and married a Catholic lady of good Spanish family. The marriage was secret, upon the pledge that it should be revealed on his return to England. The first Grecian beauty that ho met on his arrival in Greece made hire unfaithful to his Spanish bride. Absence and forgetful ness followed, and after his return to England he declared, his intention of disavowing a marriage, void at the time both under the existing penal laws of England and the laws of Spain. The marriage was kept secret by the deserted - wife, whom pride would not allow to pre secute an unavailing suit. Of this marriage a son was . born. Our informant states that LLady Byron, aware of her husband's many infidelities, insanely j e alous of his sister, in an unTortunato hour discovered a portion Of the correspondence with his Spanish wife. She then determined to leave him for ever, burying in her own bosom the secret which, if revealed, would make her morally, if not legally, his paramour. Though Major Byron never claimed to be the son born in Spain, fro° other conclusive evidence wo were convinced of the fac t ' It is well established, says the corresponden t, independent of Mrs. Stowe's statements, that p r evious to her separation, Lady Byron wrote to Dr. Lushingtou asking his advice in regard to it. Dr. Lushing,ton advised against it ; but subsequently, it is stated, after an inter view with Lady Byron, the Doctor advised her to the step which she adopted, which WO a separation. This advice was based on a secret revelation made by Lady WW l ' Now, while Mrs. Stowe contends, indirectly, that this revelation was the substance of the revolting story sh o has told, we think Major Byron's revelations plainly indi cate that it was the fact of Byron's previous marriage. THE SOUTH LONDON ROMANCE. London has its tragedy as well as Paris ; and though the English murder can bear no comparisdn in point of atrocity with the massacre at Pantin, it is not without a dramatic character of its own. It appears that the young woman , Sarah Johnson. who was Murdered by the Spanish ohn e ; maker, Martini, on Sunday morning, in the Borough, l' a " for some time led an abandoned life. She is the daught er of a respectable family, living at Battersea, and Sh e and three of her si s te rs are en titl e d t o a l arge sum c i, money, stated to amount to several thousand poun", under the will o f h er gran d mo th er. Sh e an " her sisters lived happily with her family until tb ci f mother died, about three y ears ago . S ome ti me a fter tha t her father married again, and she became cry unc °ni r ; fortable at home, and left it. Wh e n s h e did so she ha very little money, and she was not entitled to ga in possession of her property until she came of age. She was then 19. After she left her father's house she took lodgings in the Borough, and lived til er° very quietly for a short time until she became se' ' quainted with a young man named Riggall. On the 14 : 1 March, 1868, the young woman gave birth to a bog, a° Riggall stated that he was the father of it. Six month after the birth of her child she made the acquaintance () a Spaniard, named Carlos Martini, wh o was 50 Yore °f age. His wife had died, leaving him with five childr_ ii c° ' He induced the young woman to consent to leave and live with him. Shortly afterwards he discovered that she was in the habit of meeting the young man Riggs,: the father of her child. Martini then became very ica l tl and often reproached her with her treatment of him, ": t she used to make no reply to his charges ag ai n her. Last Friday night she again met Riggall' L 4 on Saturday Martini discovered the fact. At n iev,o o'clock on Saturday night Martini went into a 1 ,111 "' n - ; house, and after he had been thinking there for ab°-- e. twenty minutes, he left and went over to see the Yc e _,7 woman, and nothing more was heard of them until h a " - past three o'clock on Sunday morning. At that time of young woman lodging in an upper room heard cries ho " Murder, murder !" and then loud screams. She b ecal % alarmed, and called out to the-landlord. At this wo men Martini walked downstairs and left the h o u s e. The 10& lord, with others, then entered the room, and foun d the unfortunate young woman lying with her throat cut. WORKMEN'S TRAINS.—A petition to the 110110 of Commons is in course of signature by the Nve rl ' inl classes in the metropolis and its suburbs, praying for .'l-,,e alteration in the system which now regulates the ruol l ' i l 1 ) ; of workmen's trains.
