LONDON, M ONDAY, MAY 16, 1870. Precisely as GOLDSMITH, according to GARRICK'S epigrammatic gibe— " Wrote like an angel and talked like poor Poll," GARIBALDI, it might very safely be asserted, when ever he draws his sword from its scabbard, proclaims himself a hero ; but, on the'other hand, whenever he takes up a pen, writes himself down—what DOG BERRY wanted to be written down by the Sexton ! His proclamations, his letters, his confidences (addressed in a stage whisper to the universe), are all of them a mixture of scurrility and rhodomontade. If only, when the cacoethes scribendi is on him, some judicious friend would but upset the inkstand 1 Of late, how ever, he has taken quite systematically and energe tically to the indulgence of this wild passion of his for—can we call it literature? He has written within these last few months two novels—Cantoni and Clelia--each of them decidedly sensational. And now, at this present moment, in the current number (for May) of Cassell's Magazine, among the announcements of an original poem in French by VICTOR HUGO, and of a translation of it into Eng lish by ALGEP.NON SWINBURNE, of a fresh instalment of a serial story by WILKIE COLLINS, and of a third paper by the Rev. A. W. FARRAR, on middle-class Education, there appears con spicuously the intimation that there is also to be found in the pages of that popular sixpenny periodical, an article contributed by General GARIBALDI, descriptive pf his " Adventures' in South America."

BANK OF ROUMAN lA, Established as a Soci4t4 Anonyme, in accordance with the Law of Roumania. The IMPERIAL OTTOMAN BANK is authorised by the present owners to offer 35,000 of the 50,000 shares of the Bank of Roumania for public subscription on the terms undermentioned. Tlie --- c;prid - 07i1;Wii;.iik of Roumania is £1,000,000, or 25,000,000 francs, in 50,000 shares of £2O or 500 francs each. The capital paid up £400,000, or 10,000,000 francs, being £B, or 200 francs per share. The shares are to bearer, and transferable by simple delivery. The liability of the shareholders is limited to the nominal amount of their shares. CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE BANK OF ROUMANIA. James Alexander, Esq., London, Sir William R. Drake, London, Pascoe Du Pre Grenfell, Esq., London, Directors of the Im- L. M. Rate, Esq., London, perial Ottoman Bank. Lord Hobart, Constantinople, M. Charles Mallet, Paris, M. Casimir Salvador, Baron Herman de Stern, London. Count Eugene Kinsky, Vienna, j Directors of the Anglo- Charles De Meyer, Vienna, f Austrian Bank. DIRECTOR-GENERAL AT BUCHAREST. Adolphus De Herz, Esq. Terms of Subscription : For each Share of £2O, with £8 paid thereon, the sum of £9los. (being £1 10s. premium), such sum to be payable one month after allotment. Share Certificates to bearer will be issued to the Allottees, in exchange for their allotment letters and the bankers' receipts for £9los. per share allotted. The shares now offered are entitled to dividend in respect of profits made from Ist January, 1870. The Bank of Roumania, originally established by virtue of 'a concession from the Roumanian Government, com menced operations in March, 1866, and has carried on business continuously since that period. By arrangement with the Roumanian. Government that concession was an nulled, and the Bank reconstituted in 1869, under statutes approved by the Government. The Bank is in perfect working order, carrying on an important and lucrative business, as will be seen by the subjoined statement of the profit for the three past years, viz..— Net profits, 1867 £42,000 P , 1868 41,200 1869 These results have been obtained after providing for all preliminary expenses. Out of the above net profits a sum of £20,000 has been paid for the good-will of the branches and agencies of the Imperial Ottoman Bank in Roumania, which were taken over by this Bank, and it is to be re marked that the profits have arisen from the active em ployment of a sum far inferior to the actual paid-up capital. Pending the discussions with the Roumanian Government as to the re-constitution of the Bank, the directors deemed it wise to limit the use of capital to about one-half (2200,000) of that paid up, the remainder being held in reserve in England, and bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent. The arrangements with the Govern ment having now been definitively settled, the whole of the paid-up capital can be employed, and it may be fairly assumed that the profits will be proportionate to those which have been realised on the smaller sum. The annexed balance-sheet for the year ending 31st De cember, 1869, shows the state of the assets and liabilities of the bank at that date. In making it up every doubt ful debt was carefully eliminated, and by far the largest proportion of the assets has, since the said period, been realised in regular course. The balance of profit and loss, as well as the reserve fund, shown on that account will belong to the !present shareholders. The shares now of fered will, however, be entitled to the profits arising from the business transacted by the Bank of Roumania from Ist January, 1870. In the allotment a preference will be given to holders of shares in the Imperial Ottoman Bank. Letters of application in the annexed form must be ad , dressed to the Imperial Ottoman Bank ; but no applica tion will be entertained unless a previous deposit of £2 per share applied for has been made with Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co. A copy of the statutes of the Bank of Roumania can be inspected at the 'offices outs London agency, 13, King's Arms-yard, E.C. If no allotment is made the deposit will be returned to the applicant without deduction. In cases of allotment the deposit money will be applied in whole or part, as the case may be, to the payment of the subscription price of £9 10s. per share. if the sum necessary, with the deposit, to make up £9los. per share gilotted, is not paid at the date specified (viz., one month after allotment), the allotment may be cancelled, and the deposit paid on application will be liable to forfeiture.

Mt MORNING EDITION. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 16, 1870. the outer world that GARIBALDI had long since virtually beaten his sword, if not into a reaping hook, into a spade or into an axe-head. But the blade of his flurandel would seem rather to have been minced up piecemeal Into steel pens anything!: but pointed, and remarkable for any amount of spluttering. The favorite style of GARIBALDI in literary composition would seem to have been founded from the first upon that noticeable in the political writings of the author of Napoleon le Petit—a mixture of the wildest rant and the most in flated bombast. Gall is, in the ink of both, the prin cipal ingredient. Malignity is the sting in the tail of their every sentence. Their rhetoric is bullyragging. Their vocabulary Billingsgate. As a Poet, as a Dramatist, as a Novelist, VICTOR HUGO is one of the most resplendent geniuses living. As a politician, but espepially as a writer upon politics, he is simply beneath contempt. In the slang of the smoking room he is then just simply off his head. He vitupe rates—.he does not arraign. Reading these frothy and foaming ebulitions of his as a publicist, one might almost think that " the force of folly could no further go." But time has proved the contrary. The pupil has sur passed the master. GARIBALDI has out-Hugoed HUGO. Whatever he may come to be as a magazine writer we know not, but already the Hero of Aspro monte in his capacity as a novelist, has surpassed in scurrile abuse even the abounding diction of the foul mouthed THERSITES, less of HOMER than of SHAK SPERE. The priesthood in his infuriated eyes is what the scarlet rag is to the maddened bull in the Spanish arena. Looking towards Rome as it has been for the best part of these 1500 years, as it became very soon after the Catacombs were deserted, as it is now— why, to GARIBALDI with his pen in his hand—" that way madness lies." Take Glelia—it is filled, this astoundingly rhapsodical pamphlet, called a novel, with maledictions upon priests and curses both loud and deep upon despots and upon their myrmidons and fanatics. Take his other soi-disant work of art (GOD save the mark !) " Cantoni it Voluntario'' —and see, there, how freely, and with open hands, he scatters to the right and to the left, broadcast, his envenomed vindictiveness. Turning upon the Jews, he denounces them in terms of unmeasured opprobrium as " usurers and vagabonds." Apostro phising the Italian Government—not the Papacy re member, but the royal authority now enthroned at Florence—he reprobates it as invariably "perverse and hypocritical." Reviling him who is always his arch-foe, the Priest, how is it he designates him while pouring forth bis villainous epithets with the fury, and passion, and incoherence of a male t erma magant? Why, by calling him in rapid sequence— as if he were in his one abhorred person, the Protean contents of a Noah's Ark—a " hyena, a fox, a rep tile, a goat, an insect, a serpent !" Speaking of him, the Priest, not merely thus—in this so-called novel of Centteni, in wkieh GARIBALan, who was yesterday an ACHILLES in heroism, has to-day become a THEP:- SITES /a scurrility--but raving and howling against this the paramount object of hi. abhorrence, words of such deadly detestation as these : speaking of one whose very footsteps were of old said to be beautiful, as—" an assassin, a cryptogamous animal, the slave of the demon, a pest, an enemy of Italy, an enemy of the human race, a master of all deceit, a buffoon, a real secret police, the solid pedestal of despotism, the quintessence of the horrid ministry of hell !" Spoken or written brutalities like these are nothing less than an outrage to the common sense of Christen dom. If only there were some one who could effec tually gag the reviler—out of consideration far less .for the vituperated than for the vituperator. Call this literature, forsooth Imagine this novel writing ! Centuries ago an obolus was droppbd into the hand of BELISARIUS. Is there no one who will go and upset GARIBALDI'S inkstand ? THE epidemic of great crimes has travelled to England. It broke out in the neighbourhood of Paris, and assumed its most malignant form in the atrocious Pantin murder. It then spread to Greece, atd appeared under the massacre of the English and Italian travellers near Athens. Now, after a very short interval, we find a terrible outbreak close at our own doors, already known to all the world as the Chelsea murders. The facts of this double murder, so far as ascertained, display an unusual degree of bloodthirstiness and cunning, and the discovery of it was due to an incident so extraordinary that the most inventive of sensational novelists would never have thought of it. Briefly told, .the circumstances are as follows :—M. HUELIN, a French Protestant pastor, eighty years old for some time past retired from the duties of his sacred calling, lived at 15, Paulton-square, Chelsea. He bad with him a housekeeper, Ann Goss or Boss by name, a little over forty years of age. He possessed houses in Chelsea, and among others, 24, Wellington-square, about a mile from his own residence. The house was empty, and he had employed a man named WALTER MILLER to do some repairs in it, and to keep it in a habitable con dition. M. HUELIN also had a farm in Lin colnshire, and had recently told several of his friends that he should go down there for the sake of his health. On Saturday evening, May 7, he was alive and well, and was seen by HARRIET MIDDLETON, a charwoman who had been employed to clean the house in Wellington-square. This woman is a most important witness. Her evidence at the police court is to the effect that on Monday night she was awakened by a knock at the door of her own house, and on looking out saw a man who, on being asked what he wanted, replied in broken French that he wanted her to take charge of the house in Paulton square because M. HUELIN had gone into the country. The,man (whom Mrs. MIDDLETON understood to be M. HUELIN'S nephew) said he was going away early the following morning. That morning (Tuesday) the woman and her daughter went to M. HUELIN'S residence and found Mmu3n there. That same evening a lady called to ask if M. HUELIN was in, and said she had come to pay her rent, but had not got the money with her. She asked MILLER, who according to one account was disguised, if he was M. HUELIN'S nephew, and he re plied that he was, and would take the money. The lady left her address. MILLER intended to call there for the rent. He forgot the number of the house, however. He seems to have spent the greater part of Tuesday in driving about in cabs, drinking freely, and keeping dissolute company. He returned to Mr. HuELlN'sresidence drunk on Wednesday morning at half past three. The greater part of Wednesday he spent in drinking with a female companion, On Wednesday, evening he called upon a carrier to ask him to remove a box from Paulton-square, and then returned to the, house there, taking with him a woman whom he introduced as a person come to look after the things which were to be removed into the country. The first thing was a box badly corded. The carrier 'said he would cord it better, and MILLER then pushed forward and said that he would do it. The car rier said that he was better accustomed to such jobs, and proceeded to lift the box. He then found his hand wet, and looking down, saw it covered with blood, and a pool of blood on the floor, He instantly made known his discovery, and thereupon MILLER looked very con fused. The woman with him left the house imme diately. MILLER endeavoured to get the carrier to remove the box out of the house, evidently hoping to slip out at the same time, and make his escape. The carrier refused, whereupon MILLER ran upstairs, and probably then took some laudanum, from the effects of which he has been suffering. He was followed by the carrier, who refused to lose sight of him, and was led through the street. MILLER then made a sudden dash, running towards the river, where he would probably have drowned himself. But the old proverb proved true, as in TROPMANN'S case, " The man born to be hanged will never be drowned.' MILLER fell as he ran, was overtaken by the carrier, and a little later handed over to a policeman. He was then conveyed to St. Gedge's Hospital, and treated for poisoning by laudanum. He had not swallowed enough to injure him seriously, and it being supposed that he was pretending to be more ill than he really was, he was carefully watched by the police. On Friday he was well enough to be brought up at the police court, where he displayed the utmost ner vousness. We now return to Paulton-square. As soon as the blood was discovered a policeman was sent for, and he forced open the box and found the body of the housekeeper, Mrs. Goss. She had been strangled with a tightly fitting rope. There were no wounds, and MILLAR's horrified surprise at seeing the blood may therefore well be imagined. He thought he had made everything safe. Probably he had stupified the woman by chloroform before killing her, and he felt sure that in strangling her no trace of blood would be found, and that he would be able to get the body into the country and dispose of it. He had done his fiendish work too well. He had tied the rope around his poor victim's throat so fast that blood was forced from the nostrils and the mouth, and soaked through the box to the floor beneath. Evidently this murder " will out." The murder of the housekeeper naturally led to the suspicion that her master had shared the same fate Inquiries were made in Lincolnshire, and he had not been there. A search was instituted in Wellington square; but nothing was found; not a paving-stone seemed to have been disturbed. No sooner had the account of the murder appeared in the newspapers than a working man came forward and said that he had been employed to dig a hole near the drain in Wellington-square, and had been told not to disturb the paving ; another instance of judicious cunning on the part of the murderer. Examina tion noon chewed that as a box had proved the coffin of the housekeeper, so the drain was the grave of M. iIIIELIN. His body was found there. He had been killed seemingly by a blow with an axe, which had fractured his skull. It was then remembered that he had imprudently displayed a heap of sovereigns at this house, that his dog, which had gone out with him on Monday, had returned alone howling. The horrible story was complete so far .as the victims were concerned. Who were the murderers? MILLED, has, yet to be tried ; and we cannot therefore declare him guilty. But there never was more damning evidence against any man. He had been heard to use avaricious lan guage with regard to his employer's money. He was the prime agent in the removal of the box ; his confusion, his flight when the blood was discovered told terribly against him. Not much money was found upon him ; but it may well be imagined that he had spent a large sum in drinking and debauchery, and there were found upon him some of M. HuELIN's title-deeds. It would be mere affectation to doubt that he has been rightly apprehended. He could scarcely have been alone in this double murder. The flight of the woman from Paulton-square when the bloody token revealed itself offered strong presumptive evidence against her, and now that she has been apprehended, she is found to be a woman of the worst possible antecedents. Are these the only murderers ? That question is not easily an swered. There have been disputes about M. HUELIN'S property, and recently he had made a new will. These circumstances are thought by some of our contemporaries to point to accomplices. But there is no need of any such supposition to account for the deed. M. HUELIN'S imprudent display of money in the presence of MILLER no doubt excited his cupidity, and he in all proba bility planned the murder for his own benefit and not for that of other persons. Any way, there has been brought to light one of the most atrocious crimes ever committed within the great city that has witnessed only too many dark deeds in the memory even of those of us who are still young. THE constituencies were probably prepared for better progress with the Land Bill; but after the long labour with the first three clauses, they will be a little surprised to learn that the first and by f a r the most important part of the measure, including thirty-eight clauses, has been disposed of. This is earnest business. Ther e can be no doubt that the protests from the press and the electoral body have contributed much to the fine rush of the last few sittings ; but it is also right to remember that the provisions latterly under conside ration are of minor importance. The third clause was the great difficulty. Once concede the formid able principle embodied in that famous article of the Irish Land Treaty, and there remains little worth ne gotiating about. Once admit that the rights of pro perty, in the common acceptation of the term, may be so far infringed that a landlord cannot turn out his tenant when he pleases without paying a sum of money as compensation, and it is of secondary moment to settle indemnity for improve ments, or to determine how the novel principle of tenure is to be enforced. Hence there is little worth noticing in the last two or three discussions on the bill. The most important points raised were very dry, and the summary style in which the minor amendments were thrust aside wholesale is exceedingly fine -to contemplate en bloc, but not at all pleasant to follow in detail. - The rest of the bill should in the nature of things pass off as rapidly and unob trusively as the thirty-eight clauses minus three. The remaining stipulations embody Mr. BRIGHT'S scheme of lending money to enable tenants to become proprietors in cases where the owner is willing to sell, and provide a system of courts and legal procedure for the management of the whole. Mr. BRIGHT'S plan, so furiously assailed at first, now excites little interest in Ireland, and scarcely any opposition in England. And yet it is an important insertion of the thin end of the wedge, which deserves at least to be care fully watched. There is nothing indeed of the revo lutionary character which keen critics in 1866 discovered in the scheme. Nobody is robbed if the State lend an Irish peasant a proportion of the whole sum necessary to buy his farm, repayment being secured on mortgage. But the principle is a grave one, for if the State give such help to Irish farmers, why not to other classes of the community?

It would be rash to affirm that such aprospcct constitutes a final objection to the plan ; but it is certainly strange that it should not receive more attention. The anomaly may however be explained.
