VISIT TO THE UNITED STATES. (.From the Spam d Corree pondent of the Times.) 7TEW YORK, OCT. 11. The Prince of Wales has entered New York. These few words tel' i of such an ovation as has seldom been offered. to any Monarch in ancient or modern times. It was not a reception ;it was the grand impressi ve welcome of a mighty people. It was such a m;ligllng of fervent, intense enthusiasm, of perfect good order, of warmth and yet kind re spect, that I am fairly at a loss how to convey in words to English readers any adequate idea of this most memorable event. I have had rather a con siderable experience of Royal progresses both at home and abi:oad, and until yesterday's demonstra tion believe& that there could be very little that was nem , in such displays. In the welcome to New York, however, I, found that I had much to learn. There w as no pomp or pageantry attempted of any kind, no gran& liveries or gilded coaches. There was a military procession, but that was only an item in the great features of the day, which was the wel come of the people. It was sack a welcome as only a whole people and a free people could ever give, and in the details of its enthusiasm and its good order there was much, strange as it may seem, that made such a reception possible only in New York. In Paris it would have been a Governmental affair of soldiers and gendarmes; in London it would have been a mob with an immense police force to con trol it. Here it was simply the p4ople turning out in hundreds of thousands. A huge sea of decorous, but most enthusiastic spectators, who even at the spots where they were densest were yet so quiet, so impressive in their majesty of good order, that at nio one place did they seem to have a single element in common with what we call a mob. It seemed more a g i g antic meeting of the c iti zens of New York, convened for some great and solemn rejoicing along the whole length of the city than the mere chance mustering of its busy, restless, and excitable population. It was such a grand dig play of popular enthusiasm, there was such adignity in the calm reliance felt by every one in ti le preservation of order, such a perfect warmth and geniality of kindness evinced from highest to lowest towards the young visitor, as made the whole demonstration, perhaps, the most remark able of its kind that has ever taken place. Quiet and demure as are the English people, there are yet few Englishmen who can realize the fact of the whole inhabitants of an immense city turning out to witness a spectacle and give a cordial welcome intrusted at the same time with the duty of keep ing order among themselves. Yet this was the case at New York; and along three miles of road, thronged with half a million or more of spectators, there were not 50 policemen, and even these were only stationed at intersecting streets to stop carts and vehicles from entering in the line of route. Yet description does not easily convey the idea of such a multitude—the strict, the rigid good order 1 and good humour that prevailed. This, too, was not for an hour, or only while the Prince was pass ing. It was the unvarying demeanour of the whole concourse from 10 in the day till past 6 at night. With these few remarks to serve as the text of my narrative, I must turn aside for an instant to notice the progress through Baltimore and Philadel phia. At the former city only a halt of one night was made, but it was sufficiently long to give fresh proofs—if proofs were needed—of the extraordinary warmth and cordiality with which the Prince has been welcomed all through the United States. With the exception of the rudeness at the visit to the Capitol at Richmond, there has been no place at which his reception has not been enthusiastic. At Detroit and at St. Louis it was rather coarsely de monstrated by the crowd, it is true. Bat, even when most intrusive, it was, after all, kindly meant, and intended in its rough way to do honour to the oceasion. At Baltimore (which net a year ago was the most riotous and disorderly city in the Union) the quiet good order of the crowd and their cheering tokens of respect and welcome were be yond. all expectation, and certainly must have given. the Prince a most favourable impression of the people of that fine city. On the following morning (the Bth) the journey was resumed to Philadelphia, the second city in the Union, both for size and importance. Unusual crowding might have been expected here, for the Royal party arrived on the day of election—the very crisis of the long and fierce struggle between the Republicans and Demo crats. There was a great crowd, it is true, just as there , ias in New York yesterday, but one very similar to it in its orderly, decorous enthusiasm. Next day he rode and drove about the splendid city, went to the races and the public buildings, receiv ing everywhere he passed the most respectful re- 1 cognition and cheers. Yet there was no mobbing, and not even at the door of his hotel—where there waft a very large crowd awaiting his return—did word, look, or gesture escape which was not of siich kind respect as would have gladdened any F„ziglishman to witness. In the evening the Royal party went to the opera, to a grand performance of " lUartha," given in their honour in a theatre which, for size and magnificence, is equal to the best in Europe. The whole of the audience—the creme de la crime of Philadelphian society —rose en masse as the Prince entered, and rose again and remained standing while the "National Anthem" was sung. A little inquisitiveness on the part of opera glasses would have been excusable, but with perfect good taste nothing of this kind was attempted. The whole theatre rose again as the Prince quitted the build ing, but this time their fervency was not to be re strained, and the house rung again and again with cheers and clapping hands, and fluttered all over with waving handkerchiefs. Yesterday morning the Royal progress recom menced afresh. The route taken to this city was by ferry to Camden, from Camden to Amboy by rail, and thence in. the Harriet Lane to the landing place here at the battery on the extreme lower end of the Broadway. The public of New York had been so schooled and abused by all their journals as to the necessity for a quiet, yet kindly welcome, that one would almost have thought, from the tone of the articles, that the populace of this great city were a mere horde of untutored mis creants,—people to whom it was necessary to point out the most ordinary rules of civilised intercourse. I n fact, throughout the whole course of this tour, with f ew exceptions, the New York journals have never ceased to heap dirt upon the manners and customs of their own country men. A little crowd ing at the country to wns, the mere harmless curi osity of villages, eri flouts, has been tran s f orme d i n the columns of Ce rtai n newspapers into s t u di e d out rages, and visited,int hit e h columns of the New York liu _Herald parti sg cularl y , such a downpour o f mau d.. " Billingate" as, if a ny sensible American ever minded how that journal rayed, have mad e the poor country people regret the mu st hour they eve r I saw his Royal Highness at all. and d enounced same styl e the New Yorkers were lectured en avance, and there was a constant succession of coarse articles, in which the people of this great city—the people who received the Prince yesterday with a grand dignity, such as I never expected to see in y concourse of citizens in the world — were held u p d a ily as little better than a hord e o f savages. Hove' these insulting diatribes were borne goodness only knows; they were enough to make the very name of his Royal Highness odious to all sensitive Ame ricans; in fact, so strong were some animadversions that I know they gave rise to much uneasiness both among English and Americans, who in their m i nd ' s eye pictured an open barouche with the Prince in it tossed like a little boat upon the surges of a vie. lent, irrepressible, rough, half-drunken mob, all trying to shake hands with him and clamber into the carriage at once. And all these things were written of the people of New York who gave the Prince such a reception yesterday ! Can the Ame ricans wonder at their being so misunderstood al - Toad when thus libelled to their very teeth by the second journal for influence and importance in the United toe s ? The Prince embarked on board the Harriet Lane at Ar4,oy, where there were great crowds and great' anthnsiasm, of course. Gen. Scott received him (Mil le , pat of the military of New York, and Mr. Peter ( per. as representing the committee of citizens 7svhot garethe ball thi s even i ng at the New , York Opeia .ttouße.,- There were a few presents- • tions of other gentlemen, and, these over, the whole party sat down to a superb collation. There Was not much in the way of scenery on the run down to the " Empire City." The land is low and mo notonous, though fertile and hearty with crops of corn. It was near two o'clock before N-ew York came in view, presenting, as always happens on these great occasions, its most unfavourable side towards the approaching visitor. It seemed a long, low, interminable mass of red brick houses with hosts of shipping on the water ; making up their tall spars for the want of spires over the dusky wilderness beyond. Boats laden to the very edge of the water were skimming to and fro in the distance, like eights of summer flies, and wall sided steamers, with their tiers of decks crowded at every spot, went striding about with a great splash like horses bathing. There were ringing of belle, of conrse,and remorseless blowing of whistles; but, on the whole, the aquatic portion of the en thusiasm was not much, especially when com pared with the marvellous reception given to the Great Eastern only a few months back. In fact, all the interest was concentrated on the shore and the procession up the Broadway, and, though there was no lack of animation in the har bour, it seems now to have been a mere nothing after the reception in the city. As the royal steamer came in view the guns from the batteries pealed forth their royal salutes with slow, dignified regularity, shrouding the town in huge masses of white smoke that drifted over the city in a thin veil of cloud, like the mist of a sis:n ter's morn. Gradually objects grew more and more distinct ; the battery was seen, a glittering mass of regiments, the walls, the windows, the roofs of the houses along shore ; the masts and yards of all the vessels in the harbour; the quays and wharfs, the trees, and every spot or post from which a glimpse could be obtained was one dense sultry-looking mass of human beings, all seemingly in motion, waving their hats and handkerchiefs, cheering and clapping of hands. All the air seemed filled with a hoarse undulating roar, as from the waves of an angry sea. The landing place was at Castle-garden, the spot where emigrants are received and housed by the State of New York on the first day of their arrival. Its general appearance is like neither gar den nor castle, but it was a convenient spot, and close to where the troops were drawn up for inspec tion by his Royal Highness in the battery, where the landing is nominally supposed to have taken place, for there the ceremony of the day began. All around the buildings called Castle-garden had been put into perfect order, and flags of England and America were entertwined everywhere. Mr. Mayor Wood, with the aldermen of the city, were in attendance here, and as the Prince landed his worship advanced, and, addressing the Prince, said, " Your Royal Highness, as chief magistrate of this city, I welcome you here. In this welcome I repre sent the entire population, Without exception." The Prince bowed, and said, " It affords me sincere plea sure to accept your hospitality, which, I have no doubt, will be worthy of the great city of New York." Here the alias of Baron Renfrew was entirely drop ped, as indeed it has been now for some days past— all invitations to fetes and public notices of reception being given in the name of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The members of the corporation and General Sandford, commanding the Militia of New York, having been presented to the Prince, the Royal party proceeded at once to the office of the Emigration Commissioners. Here the Prince changed his walking dress for the uniform of Colonel. The Duke of Newcastle wore his uniform of Lord- Lieutenant, General Bruce, Col. Grey, and Major Teesdale, also assumed their full uniforms and orders. The horses which each of the party rode during the Canadian tour had with delicate thought fulness been purchased for their use on this occasion, and, mounted on these, and accompanied by the principal American officers, the party issued from Castle-garden towards the Battery. A long, deep, tremendous, sustained cheer greeted the Prince, whose appearance astonished every one. Slight and almost boyish in his appearance in morning dress, in uniform and on horseback he looks a young nobleman, of whom, apart from his exalted position, any Englishman might be proud to see acknow ledged as a representative of his nation. He sits a horse as only young Englishmen can, and receives his homage of welcome with the easy grace of one to the manner born. Certainly, as he cantered down to the Battery, his horse rearing and prancing with timidity at the tumult of cheers around, he looked even worthy of the great welcome that awaited him, and more than this it would be difficult to say. In the Battery were drawn up in successive lines five brigades of the New York Militia—mustering in all some 6,000 or 7,000 men. Taken as a type of the Volunteers of this country, they certainly were splendid specimens. In the 3d Brigade were the 7th Regiment, the pride and admiration of New York. They are undoubtedly a most perfect body of soldiers, equal in all the minute technicalities of discipline to our very best line regiments. I must own, however, I cannot share in the feeling here which awards all praise to the 7th, and I cannot pay the Militia of New York a higher compliment than to say that, to my unprejudiced eyes, there were several ether regiments there almost, if not quite, as good as the famous 7th. The 4th Brigade, to use Lord John Russell's simile, was " conspicuous for the absence" of the 69th Regiment. Col. Corcoran and his offi cers and men refused to turn out to welcome the Prince; No national slight is implied here. The 69th Regiment is almost entirely composed of Orangemen, many of .whom do not blush to avow their sympathy even with the Kingston fanatics. They refused therefore to parade, and with this last impotent display of wrath from a disappointed tur bulent faction let us hope we have done with the subject. The insult, however, will not be passed over so lightly in New York. Col. Corcoran will, it is said, be tried by court-martial and dismissed for refusing to obey orders, and the whole regiment itself may probably be disbanded, for the feeling is strong against it. The inspection of the Militia merely consisted of riding slowly along the front of each corps. Every regiment drooped colours and presented arms as the Prince approached them, surveying with open admiration the handsome uni forms, the erect, steady, military aspect of every company, regiment, and brigade on the ground. As a volunteer militia they certainly formed a body of men of whom any nation might feel proud. Our °yen volunteers wil! arrive at the same perfection in time, but they are yet too young to fairly bear comparison with these picked corps of New York. Let our regiments, however, look to it in time, for when next his Royal Highness sees them reviewed he will judge of them by the high standard he has seen here. The inspection took a very long time, almost too long for the patience of the multitudes in Broadway, who had been waiting and waiting 'for long weary hours. From 10 o'clock in the morning the immense concourse had been slowly collecting. Before 12 all were in their places, and here it was past 4 o'clock and no Prince in sight. At lust the long inspection terminated, and a car riage drawn by six coal-black horses came into the battery for the Prince, with a train of other vehicles for the rest of the suite. The open barouche for his Royal Highness was plain, but excessively hand some. It had been built expressly for the occasion, and cost the city more than 1,000 dols. The Prince sat with Mayor Wood on his right, the Duke of Newcastle and Lord Ly ons f ac i ng. Am i d the most tumul tuous cheers th e carr i age went i n from the towards the enclosure, called the City Hall Park —a park not by any means as large as the recent enclosure at Camberwell which has been honoured with that title. Here the visitors caught a full view of Broadpwreasysivae granded and most im n ei d gh i ts t w w h a i s ch o h n i e s of the Highness is ever likely to witness Broadway, I must say now, is not the Elysiu m of thorough which Americans suppose it would be. In 10 o f r ar 2 e o B years hence it will certainly be the finest street i n the world. Now it is too unequal. Here is a row of colossal marble palaces, six or seven stories high, and next a small hiatus of ordinary dions, built when New York was in its nonage. Next comes a grand series of buildings carved in solid stone, with shops as large and extensive as small towns, a n d employing almost a population of assistants. To these succeed cast-iron stores, with richly decorated fronts, tinted to resemble bronze, Sand then again white marble and granite, Bath stone and brick, a THE P.RnrCB'S THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 18 O. wild, bizarre street, a pattern book of shops and palaces such as one sees no where else in the world, such as could only arise in a fast-growing young empire like America. From the City Park, however, none of the inequalities were seen. It only seemed one long vista of lofty palaces, thronged from base to summit with thousands of people. Both sides of the way for miles were lined with a dense mass, which seemed to vibrate slowly in its massive un dulations backwards and forwards in constant heavy waves. Balconies, windows, roofs, storey over storey to the lofty house tops, were white with eager faces. Every tree along the road clustered with people— every railing, every post, even the distant chimney stacks were occupied. It was one vast concourse of citizens such as few people have ever seen assembled together, such as is not likely to be seen again in our time. When the Prince entered this great avenue of human beings a long deep cheer went up, such as could only be given by hun dreds of thousands of enthusiastic people. It seemed less a cheer than a prolonged outbreak of welcome—the welcome and greeting of an empire. It is impossible to describe the route from this point. The impression left was grand, but vague and undefinable, as that of the ocean in a storm. Flags and banners were across the road, but they seemed as solid as masonry compared with the endless flutter of hankerchiefs—a flutter that seemed to make the whole avenue glimmer and flicker —that rippled out over the fronts of massive distant buildings like flakes of snow that formed a perfect fringe above the huge black crowd of heads. Hats went into the air, and handkerchiefs too, at last, and there were cries of " God save the Queen !" with " You're welcome to New York !" and cheers and shoutings, even gestures of kindly feeling and delight, such as carried even the coldest away with the headlong torrent of enthusiasm. In vain you sought to catch a glimpse of anything definite—the vague immensity of the whole impressed you too mach. There seemed to be no details, such as usually belong to a vast assemblage of people of all ranks—no quiet here, and outbursts of vociferation at another spot. It was one continued unanimous welcome that can neither be told nor forgotten. At one church—the mother church, as it is called —the chimes were ringing prettily, " God save the Queen." Yet from that edifice some 80 years ago Dr. Irving (in later times Bishop of Nova Scotia) was expelled for reading prayers for George 111. after the Declaration of Independence. Here it was now chiming the national anthem, and all New York mad with exultation and delight, welcoming the great grandson of that same George's descendant who had only a few days before been to the tomb of Washington bare headed and planted a tree to shade the place of sepulchre of that great man. Who can ever believe in the permanence of hereditary antipathies after this ? What antipathy, rather, can be hereditary between such empires as England and America ? If the West is ever so bad it owes 'its faults to Eng land ; if Americans ever think lightly of England, let them remember they are the inheritors of our every vice and virtue. Our kith and kin meet us in every city, town, and village out here —exag gerating our national character—both good and ill, but with the grand type of the Anglo-Saxon pre dominating over all. At the City Park his Royal Highness and suite left their carriages, and stood in the middle of the inclosure to see the regiments from the Battery march past. This was rather a hitch in the day's programme, for it took a long, long time to accom plish, and the day waned and dusk came, and nine tenths of the people were still waiting for the Royal visitor. Apparently enough, however, saw this meagre ceremonial of marching past to have satis fied all America. Even the houses round the square seemed to have turned into component parts of the crowd, so dense were the clustering masses that thronged at every window, over the copings, filling the balconies, and huddling together on roofs a hundred feet from the ground. And the enthusiasm seemed boundless, inexhaustible. If the Prince only turned his head they cheered ; if he didn't they cheered louder still. In fact, the Prince had come, the people were glad to see him, and testi fied it by never stepping cheering while he re mained in view, no matter what he did. It was past dusk and getting very dark as his Royal High ness again entered his carriage and resumed his triumphant progress down the Broadway. Up to this time there had been round the carriage an es cort of light cavalry, including in their ranks some of the fattest men in, Ne w York. But at the re quest of the Prince they fill back so as to let him see and himself be seen by the cordial people who had waited for his coming so long and quietly. At every point from this time it was one ring, cor dial greeting. It was such a mixture of enthusi asm and good manners, of the most vociferous wel come yet the most profound respect, as no other visitor that ever entered this city has been wel comed with. No matter what the excitement, it never tempted the people to break their self formed and self-kept line. They seemed to feel that it might be indecorous and misconstrued to press upon the Royal cortege, and the route was rigorously maintained open till the Prince had passed at least a mile. In this manner his Royal Highness journeyed up the Broadway of New York, and at last, at nearly 7 o'clock, arrived at that palace of all American hotels—the Hotel of the Fifth Avenue, Amid such a scene of enthusiasm it seems almost wrong to stop to analyse its sources; but in this case I may venture to do so briefly. His Royal Highness owe; his grand reception by the people here to three causes. The first is the admiration in which the Queen's name is held throughout America. Loyalty does not of course enter into this feeling—it is a pure love of her character as a great Sovereign and a good mother. It is a feeling which has been growing up for years in America; no matter where you may be in the Union—North or South, East, or 'West—there is one great topic on which all men agree, one subject on which they seem never tired of expatiating, and that is Queen Victoria. The simple fact of being her subject and her admirer is a passport to the friendship of all men here, and an Englishman feels a double pride in going among Republicans with such a lady at the head of his country. The second cause was the Prince's own kind and general behaviour through out the tour. s ln spite of th e care f u l misrepresen tation of some of the papers facts have spoken for themselves, and the Prince of Wales has gained a reputation for courtesy and kindly feeling which will not be lightly lost in America. The last, though not, perhaps, the least cause of all is the feeling of hospitality which pervades New York, and which, as an almo s t i nvar i a b le rule, makes its nothing can b e d one t oo much in t Y he or k su i n s . to Foreigners inhabitants thing Englishmen ar e th e always mo t the way of cordi a lity and Welcome for the visitor. p a t c a i t b y l e of l A io s s under N e w welcomed there ; but for the traveller from the mother country there is . a kindness and courtesy shown, such as he can meet with in no other part of the world, save, perhaps, Australia. 'When these three causes were united —respect for the Queen, admiration for the Prince of Wales, and welcome to a great visitor, all commingled in one grand reception, your readers can imagine its fer vency and warmth. It is really not otherwise to be described. After his arrival at the hotel the r-- gimental bands assembled under the window s o f the splendid building and serenaded him, the selec tion of pieces concluding with " God save the Queen," which the crowd, still waiting as dense as ever, applauded tremendously. During all this day his Royal Highness has been driving round the environs of the city, stopping at 2 o'clock to lunch with Mayor Wood. To-night he goes to the grand ball given in his honour at the Opera-house. OCT. 12, 3 A.M. I have just returned from a glance at the ball, and must content myself with a most meagre outline of its general character. Even the faculty of being in two places at once fails here, when one has to fellow the Prince and at the same time endeavour to record his doings. This fete has been looked for ward to by all New York for weeks. At its first conception, when the committee was formed, the number of tickets to be issued was strictly limited to 3,000. People lived on in the earnest hope and firm belief that this select number would eventually swell into 6,000. They were disappointed, how ever, as the total of admissions granted up to the commencement of the ball last night only amounted to 3,021. The result of this Rhadamanthian stern ness on the part of the committee was, of course, to create a perfect furore on the part of everybody to get the tickets. Their possession implied not only being a unit in the " Upper Ten Thousand," but one of the three thousand above the ten. Then, as the day drew near, and as the reception of the Prince added to his fame and eclat, and the com mittee continued inexorable, those who ware fortu nate enough to have tickets awarded them became positive monuments of recognised fashion in the eyes of their less fortunate acquaintances. No admissions were sold at all —at least, not publicly. The expense of the entertainment was defrayed by the committee of 100 of the foremost citizens of this city, and to each of these were awarded 10 tickets for distribution among friends whose names were submitted. Some tickets, I am told, were, never theless, parted with by these secondhand recipients for a heavy "consideration ;" but there were only one or two such instances, though the prices realised by them must have offered a great induce ment to others to forego the ball. To-night as much as £l.solhas been offered for an admission, bat all in vain. The ball was given in the Academy of Music. It is a large and handsome theatre, though not quite what New Yorkers imagine it to be—the finest building of its kind in the universe. It is some thing like the Lyceum on a large scale, but much over-done wlith heavy ornaments and massive pro • scenium architecture, for all the world like the facades of the grand hotels in Broadway. The parterre of this was boarded over into a level and spacious floor. The back of the lower tier of seats was closed in with flowers; the stage was draped to resemble a pavilion, with a handsome and effective drop scene in rear of all. Over the orchestra was a handsome painting, typical of the friendship be tween England and America. The supper was laid in the side wings, formed into a long, narrow, but tastefully decorated saloon. With this outline I think I have mentioned the chief features of the great New York ball. The American ladies are justly celebrated for toilets. At the ball they shone with real splendour, and before the Prince's arrival the scene was as brilliant and varied as can be imagined. His Royal Highness, with the Duke of Newcastle and suite, came at ten o'clock. All were in plain evening dress. On their arrival the fete at once commenced, and still continues in full vigour while I write. THE TRIAL OF MULLINS. THE SUMMING UP. The Lord Chief Baron proceeded to charge the jury. They had heard the evidence on the part of the prosecution, and also on the part of the prisioner, and it remained for them to come to a decision in accordance with that evidence. His lordship then proceeded to give a narrative of the circumstances, so far as known, connected with the murder and the habits of the deceased. There could be no doubt, he observed, that a murder had been committed, and that it was prompted by the desire of gain, and the deceased probably met her fate either before going to bed on the evening of Mon day the 12th of August, or next morning after get ting up. The probability also was that the mur derer was a person known to her, as a total stranger would have robbed the house, taking care to tie her up in some way or other, and then left her; while a person who was known to her would for his own personal safety be led to commit the murder. The case for the prosecution had been conducted - as all such prosecutions ought to be—by laying before the jury the whole case. He disapproved of the counsel for the Crown selecting evidence and making, as it were, a nisi pries case of a trial in a criminal court. Formerly prosecutions of this kind were conducted in a way disgraceful to the country; but now it was different, and it was understood to be the duty of the prosecution for the Crown to lay before the jury all the case, whether for or against the prisoner. In they evidence they had heard there were several matters which be wished to say did not with him weigh much against the prisoner; but he hoped he would not be misunderstood as saying that because they were not against the prisoner, therefore they were in his favour. For example, a great deal had been said about the pieces of tape produced; but it was nothinglto say that there were 33 strands in it, as there were probably thousands of yards of tape with 33 strands ; and he was able of himself to point out that one of these pieces of tape was thicker than the other. He was not disposed to at taeh undue consideration to the fact that Mullins had been seen near the house in Grove-road, though some importance had been attached to it from the contradiction given by the prisoner's sons. Then as to the hammer produced, it was a common plas terer's hammer, and he thought the production of that hammer was not in any degree calculated to increase the weight of the evidence. He thought it would have been fairer to the prisoner not to bring that hammer and to exhibit it in court in the way that had been done. The learned judge then pro ceeded to read the evidence of the witnesses and to make occasional comments as he went along. With reference to the finding of the parcel in the brick field, it was for the jury to consider whether the expressions used by the prisoner respecting the bricks and slab in the outhouse imported that he knew better where the parcel was to be found than he would have known if he had simply seen Emm go in there and come away again. It was true that the places of concealment in the shed were scanty, and there might have been no other place in which it could have been hid. The jury would consider this, and would bear in mind, too, that from the plan in court it seemed that anybody might put his arm into the shed and throw the par cel behind the bricks. As to the waxed string and the tape, he did not attach much importance to them. If, indeed, by a microscopic" examination, or in some way or other, it could have been shown that one end of the tape on the parcel fitted exactly to the tape found in Mullins's house, that would have been most important; but bits of tape were so common that no connecting link was supplied in the present case by this portion of the evidence. At the same time, though he himself attached little or no importance to it, the jury should remember that it was not one of those pieces of evidence which, if it did not point one way, pointed the other. The facts to which he was alluding seemed to point neither way. Of far more importance was the statement made by the prisoner, that Mrs. Emsley would not have admitted him if he had called at the house. If the jury believed that the prisoner was upon such terms with 'Mrs. Emsley that he would at once have been admitted by her, then he had stated that which was untrue, and the jury had reasonable ground for suspecting that he had some motive for doing so. With regard to the hammerbelonging to the prisoner, much import ance was not to be attached to that, for, of course, Mullins must have the tools which belonged to his business. With regard to the parcel, there could be no doubt that whoever placed it in the shed was connected with the murder. The prisoner said he saw Emm go to the ruin, and bring from it a large bundle. Why did Emm put the bundle there ? It could hardly be to conceal it from his family, be cause, according to the prisoner, he afterwards took the parcel into his house, and there made a selec tion from the property it contained. What could bo the object of concealing such comparatively worthless articles as two lenses and some metal spoons? As to the cheque,one would have thought the murderer would have been only too anxious to get rid of it the moment he came near a candle or a fire It was valueless, and would furnish damning evi dence against any one in whose possession it was found. Did this look like the concealment by a thief and a murderer of property which might so easily have been destroyed, or did it look like a plant—something put there to create a suspicion that Emm was in some way connected with the robbery? It was clear that besides Emm no other persedsave the prisoner could have put the parcel in the shed, and under the circumstances it was not to be wondered at that the police suspected the ' prisoner. If the jury believed the evidence of the witnesses who spoke to Emm's journey to Bromley and Stratford on Monday night, this person was exculpated. tie could not have committed the murder, and from the evidence of his own family he could not have put the parcel into the shed at the time spoken of by Mullins, for he was unwell and was not out at the hour mentioned by the pri soner. Against the prisoner it was alleged that on the evening of the murder he was seen going to and early next morning was seen going from the neighbourhood. But the history of the legal pro fession abounded with instances of mistaken iden tity. lie had heard Lord Cranworth, who had been an eminent member of the common law bar, say more than once that evidence of identity, when given by those who were not familiar with the person of a prisoner, was always liable to error. He would not trust his own evidence on such an occasion. If indeed the prisoner were known to the witness before, then of course the identity would be better established. But even if it were established, the fact would not go very far, because it would only show that at the time of the murder the prisoner was in the neighbourhood of Mrs. Emslev's house. The alleged recognitionof Mullins by the witnesses Mitchell and Raymond was worth nothing whatever in comparison with the more weighty matters which had been brought before the jury. Some stress had been laid upon the boot which was said to correspond with the bloody print, but before this evidence was made available it ought to be pretty clear to every observer that such a similarity existed between the footprint and the boot that the one must necessarily be a copy of the other. There was said to be blood on the pencil-case, but Dr. Gill could not tell whether it was human blood, and so with the hair on the boot, this w itness did not take upon himself to say that it corresponded in appear ance with the hair of the deceased. The case against the prisoner appeared to him to rest chiefly on the conclusion to which the jury would come respecting the parcel. Who made up that parcel ? The counsel for the defence said that the cheque might have passed out of Mrs. Emsley's hands and have come into the prisoner's possession. But the prisoner had not told them how he got it, and, if he had got it the jury had a right to call upon him for an ex-, planation. The identity of the spoons and the lenses was made much more complete by their being found along with the cheque; as to which there could be no doubt at all that it was paid to the deceased on the day of the murder. In the prisoner's house a spoon was found corresponding in every respect with the spoons in the parcel, and it would be for the jury to consider how far this fact again connected the prisoner with the parcel and showed that he made it up. They should remember that the prisoner was not to be convicted on suspicion only, nor could any number of circumstances of mere suspicion suffice to sustain the case against him. And here he might for their information define what was circumstan tial evidence. If a man were seen coming out of a room, that was circumstantial evidence to prove that he had been in the room. Such evidence sup ported a sort of proof by giving rise to an inference which was irresistible. It would be a great mistake to confound under the term " circumstantial evi dence" the idle dreaming of the men who alleged that they met Mullins on the evening of the murder and on the morning afterwards with the far more reliable evidence furnished by the cheque and the other con tents of the parcel. Circumstantial evidence meant a number of facts which, if believed, left in the mind of a rational man no r?asonable doubt as to a particular conclusion. But the jury must allow themselves to be influenced only by circumstances which pressed directly against the prisoner, not by the surmises of persons meeting somebody whom they thought was the prisoner, or by the testimony of somebody else, who said the prisoner did his work after the murder so badly that it had to be done over again. Upon the whole case did the evidence lead irresistibly to the conclusion that the prisoner was guilty? In the words of Lerd Tenterden, did it bring to their minds that firm persuasion, that degree of conviction, upon which people would act in their own important con cerns ? If so, it was their duty to act upon this persuasion. It was to the interest of the public that no innocent man should suffer, and it was also to their interest that the guilty should not escape. In forming a judgment upon such a case it would be idle to estimate the chances of acquitting the guilty or of convicting the innocent. No such calculation could be attempted. Were the jury of opinion, upon the whole evidence, that the prisoner was guilty ? If so, the duty of returning that verdict must, how ever painful, be discharged. If not, the prisoner was entitled to be set free. But the doubt of which the prisoner was to have the benefit must not be a mere surmise that the case might have been other wise—that the cheque might have come properly into his possession ; and so forth. The question was what, in their opinion, really did happen, and did they believe it with that degree of certainty upon which they acted in their own important affairs ? This question they must now prepare to answer, and they would answer it in such a way as would do justice to the prisoner and satisfy their own con sciences. At the conclusion of his lordship's charge, which occupisd three hours and a quarter, the jury retired to consider their verdict, and returned into court at a qaarter past 6 o'clock, having been absent about an hold.. The usual question was put by the Clerk of Ar raigns, and the foreman, amid breathless silence, returned a verdict of Guilty. Being then asked in the usual form what he had to say why sentence should not be passed upon him, The Prisoner (who spoke with much energy and firmness, and with a slight Irish accent) said—My Lord, will you allow me a few words ? I am not guilty. I know that I have not many days to live, and I am now speaking the truth. I am most happy to have had such a trial—an attentive jury and also such able counsel, who have done so cleverly for me in my defence. On Monday, the 13th, I was at work in Temple-place, repairing some houses. I remained there till between 6 and 7 o'clock. After then I returned home to my own place, and, as the Lord is my judge, and I shall see him before long, I remained in my own place until I had my supper. After supper I went to bed, and remained there until 8 o'clock or so the following morning. One witness has told your lordship that he saw me in the urinal at the corner of a publichouse, the name of which I now forget. I solemnly declare before my God that I am telling your lordship and the Court at large the simple truth. I was at home at the time, and I was in bed at the time when the other witness said he saw me early next morning at Stepney-green. I say he could not have seen me there, for I was in my bed. Now, as for the boot and my hammer. My hammer was not used by me in any way to hurt any man, woman, or child ; and as to the boot, I protest before my God I never saw it till I saw it at the Thames police•court. Never did I see it before; never did I wear it. I solemnly declare that before all here present. What I have stated now are the real facts as the Lord is my judge, and He shall judge me before long. I was in my own bed. Never did Igo out of my own place from the time I left my work in Temple place until 8 o'clock the following morning. And my heart (striking his bosom) is light at being able to tell all my friends about me that what I say to you now is the real truth. lam extremely obliged to the jury, and I am happy to have had such a patient jury. lam obliged to your lordship, also, and to the gentlemen, both against me and for me —Mr. Parry and my own able counsel. I am happy to say that Mr. Best has done very well for me, not forgetting my attorney, Mr. Wood, who has taken more trouble than I would expect a gentle man in his class to take. He has done all he could to find witnesses for me, and as yet I am sorry to say that I have not paid him. What I have said are the real facts. The Lord Chief Baron, putting on the black cap, then said :—James Mullins, you have been con victed of the crime of wilful murder upon the per• son of Mary Emsley on the 13th of August last. You have yourself, I think, very properly com mended the patience of the jury and the propriety of conduct shown by the counsel concerned in the case, even by those retained against you. The jury after a trial of two days and after patient delibera tion have found you guilty. You have addressed the Court upon the evidence against you. It would have been more satisfactory to me if you ,had addressed your observations to some part of the case which was considered by me as really bearing against you. Instead of that, you have confined your remarks entirely to those parts of the case which I pointedly in some measure warned the jury to pay very little regard to. Not that these matters so proved by some of the witnesses were untrue, but because it appeared to me that they were not of a nature justly to prove the crime con tained in the indictment. They might form reasonable grounds of suspicion, but it appeared to me that they did not furnish any pregnant proofs against you. Had you been desirous, in your address to the Court, to meet what I considered to be the really grave part of the evidence against you, you would have told us whether you were in possession of the cheek, or not, and whether your accusation against Emm was true or false. If you were in possession of the check, you would have told us how you came by it. I mention these points to show that the remarks you have made appear to me entirely beside the case which has been proved against you. The jury have found you guilty, and without some explanation of your condu c t— an explanation which you ha ve not furnished —with out some evidence, of which there does not appear to be any existence, I own that I do not see how any reasonable person can come to any other con elusion than that your charge against Emm was altogether false, and that you were responsible for the possession of those marks of guilt contained in the parcel. The murder of this helpless old woman was a wicked, cruel, and aggravated crime. The unhappy sufferer may have felt little, as she was probably deprived of sensa tion by the first blow. But it is manifest that who ever commitisd the murder took good care that there should be no possibility of recovery, and that life should be utterly extinct. I endeavoured to leave the case entirely for the consideration of the jury. lam still of opiiiion that some of the cir cumstances urged against you, instead of increasing the weight of evidence for the prosecution, only , tended to embarrass the jury in coming to a conclu sion. But with that conclusion I am bound to state I am perfectly satisfied, and with the evidence be fore them uncontradictegasit was and unexplained, as part of it might have been, I do not see how they could come to any other. It only remains forme now to entr ea t y ou t o ma k e t h e b es t use of the which m a y b e spare d to you b e f ore th e execution sh , of the se n t ence . I t i s my d u t y t o pas s the inudg te meat which the law p rov id es for the of se awf u l a cr i me. I d o not t hi n k thatTlLll either culled upon or should be justified ii adding any- Miia , AgMbl!fte thing to the precise terms of the sentence. If you can even now make it manifest that you are inno cent of the charge, I doubt not that every attention will be paid to any cogent proof laid before thcs3 with whom it rests to carry the sentence of the law into execution. That duty, however, does not be long to me, and I have only now to order that you be taken to the place whence you came, and thence to the place of execution, there to be hung until you shall b e d ea d , an d that your b o d y be buried within the precincts of the prison where you shall last have been confined prior to your execution. The prisoner, who heard the sentence unmoved, was then taken from the dock, and the jury was discharged. FROM TEE GAZETTE 01! LAST EVENING. WINDSOR CASTLE, OCT. 24. .

HEAT IN THE RED SEA.—From acoounts related by the passengers by the Colombo, from Suez, it would ap pear that the heat in the Red Sea has been more than era narny. .ressiee. Not fewer than three deaths occurred on. bear. ed entirely by the frightful temperatalit, one of whi c :. that of the Captaim , General of Manilla. Gen. MiCroh,n, already reported. The body was preserved in spirits and sent on shore at Aden, with the General's family, for the purpose of beirg conveyed back to Spain. The second death was that of Mr. J. M'Laren, managing agent and engineer of the Labuan Coal Company. The third was that of a young lady. A perfect panic occurred on board, al sixteen V the passengers were prostrated by the heat and not expected to survive. So great were their sufferings that Captain Dunn, in order to afford some relief to thOln) lay the ship some time broadside to the light north wind, In IL then made a course b ac k t o S uez , b y w hi c h mean . the breeze was enabled to make its way through the °pea I?Orta and cool the heated cabins and saloous.—Malta Times, October 18.
