THE DOUBLE MURDER IN WARREN-STREEP. nis morning, at the sitting of the court, Emanuel Part7telony, shed 32, described in the calendar as an engineer, the Frenchman who stood indicted upon two separate indictments, with the wilful murders of Mr. George Moore and Mr. Charles Collard, was placed upon his trial. The court was very much crowded, but owing to the admirable arrangement of the Sheriffs and Under- Sheriffs, there was not the least inconvenience occa. siored. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clark prosecuted ; and Mr. Collier, M.P., and Q.C., with whom was ➢lr. Reed, appeared for the prisoner. Upon the names of the jury (which was composed of half foreigners) being called over, the prisoner, through his interpreter, Mr. Albert, objected to some of the gentlemen. Lord Campbell dire:tea that any of the gentlemen of the jury objected to, whether Englishmen or foreigners, should retire if objected to. Several having been challenged and withdrawn, the required number were then sworn. The prisoner, who seemed quite composed, was dressed the same as when he appeared at the police-court, with the exception of the loose Albert cape which he then wore. Mr. Straight, the clerk of the arraigns, having read the indictment charging the prisoner with the murder of Charles Collard, the one first proceeded with, Mr. Bodkin rose and briefly stated the case to the jury, and in so doing, told them that although the charge was one of the most serious known to the law, it did not poses any of those features of complexity which gene rally arise where the evidence was of a circumstantial character. Charlotte Bennett, examined by Mr. Clark—l was servant to the late Mr. Moore. Ho lived at 73, War ren-street, Fitzroy-square. He was at home upon the night of the Bth of December. The only person in the house with 'him besides myself was his grandson. About half-past Bin the evening the prisoner, whom I knew from having come to repair the engine, and a woman came. Prisoner asked to see my master. I showed them into the back room upon the ground floor, where master was sitting. About 10 minutes afterwards I heard a noise in the parlour, and came down stairs, and as I was upon the stairs I saw the prisoner coming out of the room, followed by the woman and then my mas ter. I ran past them and got to the front door. The prisoner I then saw had a pistol in his hand. He was close to my master. I ran out into the street. There is an iron gate outside of the street. I heard the report of a pistol. There was a mob at the iron gate. The prisoner came out of the street door, and instantly went in again, bolting the door after him. Amongst the mob at the iron gate wag the deceased man Charles Collard, who keeps a green-grocer's shop next door. I asked him to run round into the New•road to the back of my master ' s house, as I thought the prisoner would escape. About an hour afterwards I was let into the house by the police, and then saw my master lying dead in the passage. Cross-examined by Mr. Collier —I had seen the pri soner twice at the house to repair the soda-water engine, but never until that night saw prisoner speak to my master. The noise which I heard was that of some one scuffling. My master had his hand upon the prisoner when I first saw them coming out of the door into the passage ; but whether pushing or pulling him I cannot say. I had a light in my hand at the time. Reexamined by Mr. Bodkin—l could not distinguish the features of the female because of the thick veil she wore. When I first attempted to open the street door the prisoner put his hand over my mouth. Instantly After he turned round and the pistol was fired. His face was towards Mr. Moore at the time. The witness here described the position in which she saw the - pi s t o l pointed. She held her hand about breast high, and in a manner so as to give a pistol, if she had been pointing one, an upward aim in the direction of a person's head. Richard Checkely sworn—l am inspector of the E Division. I knew the deceased man Collard. He had been in the police force. About 10 o'clock upon the night of the Bth of December I was fetched to the Uni versity College Hospital. I there saw Collard in bed. The surgeon told me he was dying. He made a state ment, which I took dawn in writing ; it was to the effect that the prisoner had shot him when he (Collard) bad attempted his capture in the New-road. Upon the fol lowing day the prisoner was brought to the hospital, and the statement which had been taken down upon the pre vious night read over. Collard was very weak, but quite sensible. He said, "That is quite correct," and, looking at prisoner, said, " That is the man who shot me," and addei, " Oh, you cruel man." The prisoner made no remark. The evidence of Mr. Rielmerk and Mr. Erichson, the surgeons of the Hospital, proved death to hare resulted from a pistol bullet, which had passed through the bowels and rested close to the spine, from whence it was extracted by an incision being made through the skin to it. Deceased lived about 24 hours after his admission into the hospital. The statement of the dying man was then put in and read. William Ikaglestone, Waterman to the Hackney Coach stand in the New-road, proved hearing the cry of " mur der" and " police," and saw the man Collar 1 running from the Tottenham -court-road end of the New-road. Witness ran towards him and at that moment the pri soner fell from the railings at the back of Mr. Collard's house. Witness and Collard both la,d hold of prisoner at the same time. Collard said, " For God's sake take care, or he will shoot some one." Almost immediately the pistel which prisoner had in his hand went off, and Collard said, " Good God ! I am shot," and fell. Pri soner instantly struck witness a blow upon the head with the pistol and broke away. Witness wrested a piece of cane from him. After the examination of several witnesses, Mr. Collier rose to address the jury for the defence, and commenced by impressin g upon them the necessity of dismissing from their minds all that they had heard out of doors, and come to a conclusion upon what was adduced before them this day. The learned counsel complained of the course taken by the prosecution in bringing before the jury the particulars of the murder of Mr. Moore, when they were only trying the prisoner for the murder of Collard. He then commented upon the absence of any motive for the murder of Mr. Moore, and thought it was probable that, some quarrel ensuing between them, the prisoner had, in a moment of despe ration, drawn his pistol and shot him, and if they took that view of the case, then that would only be man slaughter. Lord Campbell told Mr. Collier that, eve n if the jury took that view of the case, he should be bound to tell t hem that the prisoner resisting his lawful apprehension for that offence would be murder. Mr. Collier then proceeded briefly to argue that the death of the unfortunate man. Collard was the result of the pistol accidentally going off upon the prisoner being apprehended. His Lordship then summed up, reading over the whole of the evidence, and commenting in the most impartial manner upon it as to the probability of its being the result of an accidental discharge of the pistol which caused the death of Collard. The jury then retired, and had not returned a verdict when we went to press. SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON TIM GREAT NORTHERN RAIL WAY.—A. serious accident took place last night on the Great Northern Railway, at a short distance beyond the Leeds central station, to the train which leaves that passing over a crossing on one of the via and was immediat e l y detached from town at 6.25 p.m., and a rrives a t Doncaster at 8.10 p.m. The train was ducts, when the first ca rria g e behind the engine struck against the points, the train by the breaking of the coupling irons, and thrown over the viaduct, 40 feet high., In the carriage, which was composed of first and second class compart ments, was the Recorder of - Doncaster, Mr. R.

BRISTOL, JAN. 3.—AcCIDENT WHILST SHOOTING.—We regret to have to record a distressing accident which oc curred on Thursday to T. Trumper, Esq., of the Lawns, Grosmont, - Monmoutl:shire. Mr. T. was, with some friends, out shooting ; the day was frosty and the ground slippery. In crossing a small brook at the bottom of a dingle Mr. Trumper fell, the gun flew out of his hand, and in the shock exploded, carrying away the whole of the back part of the right hand from the knuckles to the wrist. It was providential that he was not shot dead upon the spot, for the charge tore away the edge of the shooting jacket and carried off a portion of his whiskers, As it was the injury was serious enough, for the shattered hand had to be amputated ; the operation was skillfully performed by Mr. James Lane, surge on, of Grosmont, and we are glad to be able to state that MI:. Trumper is proceeding as favourably as, under the circumstances, can be expected. The Bristol, South Wales, and Southampton Railway project has been abandoned for the present session of Parliament.

THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS. TO TUE EDITOR OF TUE SUN. Sirt,—l hope you will allow me through your impar• tial paper to make a few observations, arising out of some remarks made by Mr. G. Moore, of London, at a dinner given last week at the Corn Exchange, Man chester, in aid cf the above schools. Mr. Moore remarked, after relating the success and value of the institution, that he was sorry to observe they had the most children belonging to ccmrnission travellers, which he only accounted for from the miserable and stingy manner they were paid, entreating houses to act more liberal, and pay men at least enough to live upon further observing, he knew several melancholy instances of destitution, which was not the result of improvidence or prodigality, but from .most inadequate pay to meet the necessary expenses of the road. Mr. Moore, I am sure, will receive the best thanks of all travellers for his kind consideration ; the more so, from the fact of his being himself a principal, and for many years a traveller, and, to his credit, the architect of his own fortune by indomitable application and industry. I have known him many years. ()Mimes do I recol. iect him leaving his bed before sunrise in the spring of the year, continuing hard at work until the cock an nounced early morn again; so that ho is good authority for what a traveller requires and deserves. And now it is needful seine one should give further information, and explain how it is commission travellers are nob in a prosperous condition. The fact is they are robbed at every point. I will point out one or two methods houses adopt to reduce their expenses. It is no uncommon thing t , ) assert that travellers are of no service to them, and still they are glad to retain their assistance ; they are well aware who " brings grist to the mill." They complain of their profits icing small, an argument used to csmplete a grinding engagement. 'When you come to a settlement at the end of the journey they write down what they say is the amount of sales. You are much surprised, you expected a touch larger amount, and express a wish to go through the books, which is indignantly refused, and the ill-used traveller submits to be fleeced rather than litigate with men who may, in an under-handed way, do Lim an in jury. He, consequently, suffers his already too small earnings to be reduced by this unprincipled subterfuge. Another false system, often adopted, is the following —A traveller is paid a commission on his sales ; he is given patterns; some are manufactured or engaged by the house who employs him, and other patterns are made and twilight from other makers. 'I he traveller works early and late, using his best endezvours to influence sales, but on his return home, after an absence of three or four months, and paying his own expenses, he discovers that little more than half the amount of orders sent home have been exe cuted, only such as they make themselves having been sent, underwriting the invoics that the remainder will follow in a few days, carriage paW, which, of course, is never more thought of, and the unfortunate commi:slon man is again victimised. These and other equally dis reputable tricks are beginning to be known and scouted. I was once a commission man myself, and, from all I know, would recommend every man to make a sturdy resistance against any house who refuses to pay, orassist in paying, part of the necessary expenses of the road, other wise he must lose his own money, or become a defaulter. In either case these " vampires " will shore no sym pathy, but will exact their "pound of flesh." Pardon me, sir, for occupying so much of your valuable paper. I am emboldened to trespass, because I believe you feel an interest in the welfare of the commercial body. I shall now conclude by giving some wholesome advice, gratis, to those houses in London, Manchester, Brad ford, and elsewhere, who have for some time past made money, wrung from the bones of the badly-paid tra veller. I advise such to abandon altogether un principled practices, and begin the New Year afresh, adopting the good old adage of " live and let live"—to repent of their sins of omission as well as commission. This done, not only Mr. Moore, but other respectable men, will not fail, when Christmas comes again, to sound their praise; and I think, to prove their sincerity, and make their consciences easy, they ought ,to disgorge, and lose no time in sending 100 guineas each to assist in the schools, and 100 guineas in aid of the Poor Tra vellers' Benevolent Institution ; and, furthermore, be come annual subscribers of 10 guineas each to both in stitutions. I beg to assure commission travellers there are only two proper ways to make an agreement : one is to travel for no house whatever without the expenses are paid, or work the journey for a fixed sum. This persevered in will restore the prospects of the ill-paid commission traveller. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, A COM - AIERCIAL TRAVELLER. Manchemter, Jan. O. THE NEWLY-DISCOVERED ROMANCE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 01, Boulevard Beaurnarchais, Paris, Dec. 30. Sir,-1 should earlier have acknowledged the notice you took in _Ma Sun of the 25th of last month—by a very extraordinary coincidence , the day on w hi c h Mr. Lockhart died-of the unpublished manuscript o f hi s . illustrious father-in-law, which has become my property. As, however, so great an incredulity reigned with regard to it that not one editor, 1 believe, throughout the United Kingdom was found courageous enough even to whisper the news which you had so boldly announced, I have deferred writing to you acknowledging your manly and liberal conduct—a conduct which a perusal of the work itself will ere long thank you for, far more expres sively than any terms I can employ—l say I have de ferred writing until I could add to my letter the assur ance that the letter of W.S. to W.S., and the manuscript of the Romance itself, had been examined by the parties in Paris most competent to judge of their authenticity. That has been done; and now, sir, in addition to the testimony of the much-respected gentleman on whose authority, as I have since learned, you announced the discovery on the 25th November, I have now the satis faction of referring you to the Jou;•nal des Debais of the 27th December instant, in which M. Philar6te Chasles, one of the ablest writers and severest critics in France, and, moreover, a personal friend of Sir Walter Scott, , devotes five columns of that leading journal to the sub ject of the authenticity of these interesting manuscripts --an authenticity which he establishes on the firmest of all foundations, internal evidence ;—and to this I have the pleasure of adding that, the correspondent of one of the leading London morning papers has since examined the manuscript. and not only coincides in opinion with M. Philat dte Chasles, but gives it as his opinion that the romance was a very early production of the pen of the great Scottish novellist. - Such being the case and the question of authenticity set at rest—as I purpole to devote the surplus of the first edition to the " Patristic Fund"—perhaps there may not now exist the tame fear on the part of your con temporaries to copy the following resum-e of the work, which can scarcely fail to be road with interest even by those who have hitherto been the most incredulous. Accept, sir, the assurance of the high consideration of E. SAINT MAURICE CABANT, Directeur.General do 13 Societ6 Archivists de Franco. MOREDUN ; A TALE OF THE TWELVE HUNDRED AND TEN.—A manuscript, bearing this title, has been brought to light in Paris under most singular circumstances, and after undergoing the scrutiny of the first writers and severest critics of that capital has been authenticated as an early romance of Sir Walter Scott, which had been the pirate property of his daughter, Miss Anne Scott, as is also attested by a letter, found along with the manuscript of the romance. It is in 25 chap ters, and will form three volumes similar to Waverley. The titles of the chapters are, 1. The Inundation ; 2. The Incantation ; 3. The Council Chamber ; 4. The Crown and Anchor ; 5. Marsden Rocks ; 6. The Two Kings ; 7. The Seal ; 8. Private Conferences ; 9. The Borderer; ; 10. Durham ; 11. Ettrick Shaws ; 12. The Golden Cross ; 13. The Lion's Mouth; 14. Sherwood ; 15. Ingleborough ; 16. The utrid ; 17. The Storm ; 18. The Fire ; 19. The Arbour ; 20. The Wreck ; 21. The Three Knights ; 22. The Caverns ;23. The Wool. pack ; 24. The Moot Hall ; 25. Conclusion. The story is interesting, full of incident and lively description ; is rapidly and forcibly told, and more dramatic in its style than almost any other of Sir Walter 's works, whilst the portraits of the two kings, Jelin, of England, and Wil liam, the lion of Scotland, are admirably drawn, and placed in fine contr ast . The proprietor of the manu script, we u nderstand, in consequence of an incredulity on the part of publishers, which has gone the length even •f refusing to examine the manuscript itself, purposes to publiah the work him se lf, an d t o g i ve th e surp l us w hi c h ma y arise out of the first edition to the " Patriotic Fund." Thus the public will be constituted the judges, and not one copy more will be printed than is actually demanded by public opinion. To this end, the Union Bank of London, acting for Messrs. Gil and Co., bankers at Paris, mandatories of the proprietor, M. de Saint Maurice Cabany, 91, Boulevard Beaumarchais, Presi dent of the Society of Archivists of France, is autho rised to receive subscriptions and to grant receipts. The price of the work, in three vole , 3v0., handsomely printed, will be SOs.; four copies will be supplied, car riage free, for 51. Thus, any bookseller, on receiving orders for four copies, on paying 51. to his banker, who will advise through the usual channels of the Union Bank of London, will receive in return, immediately on publication, the four copies subscribed for. On the prompt and liberal reception, then, by the public of this handsome arrangement on the part of the proprietor, will depend the amount of the sum to he paid over to the "Patriotic Fund ;" and it will be none of the least re markable incidents of the extraordinary times in which we live to find the Author of " Waverley " a large con tributor to the fund in aid of the brave armies now suf fering all the privations and hardships of war in the Crimea. TEA PARTY IN AID OF THE PATRIOTIC FUND.—The Shrewsbury Journal has an account of a "monster tea party" held on New Year's-day, in the district of Horsehay and Dawley, in aid of the Patriotic Fund.

EXTRACT FROM THE LETTER OF AN OFFICER AT SEBASTOPOL. We have now been more than two months at this work, and I had hoped era this that Sebastopol would have fallen, but it still holds out, with every propect of doing so for some time yet. Indeed, nothing but-the bayonet, I believe, will take it, and the sooner we make our assault the better, for it is quite impossible that; we can go on much longer the way that we are doing. Yon will expect sae to give some descriptieß of Sebastopol e but it is not easy to do so without reference to a map. Our position, then, before the place is as follows :—At ;the distance of perhaps half a mile from the Careening Bay, in a south-easterly direction, stands a round tower, or rather what was one formerly, for our artillery have battered it all to pieces —around which the Russians have thrown up extensive earthworks, armed with ship guns. This tower was originally whitewashed, hue' the Russians, like cunning fellows as they are, painted it a deep dun: colour, the better to remark the earthworks which surround it, and which they have faced lately with abettis, or stakes and boughs of trees driven into the ground. Fronting this, and in a direct tioa near'y south south-west, we have thrown up a heavy battery of 21 guns, to which we have given the name, in compliment to our gallant Allies, of " French ' man's-hill." This battery is distant, perhaps, 1,200 yards from the dockyard creek, along the front of which the Ru-eians have thrown up a large earthwork in the form of a right angle, called a redan, and an other, to which our engineers have applied the name of " Barrack Battery." Next to Frenchman's-hill, awl on the opposite side of a deep ravine running down into the dockyard creek, is another heavy battery, denominated " Green-hill," beyond which the French lines commence, which extend from that to "Arrow Bay "on the sea. Fronting the French lines, from which they are distant now only four or five hundred yards, the Russians have thrown up two heavy earCiworkfe called, in the language of the camp, the " Summer-house and " Flag-staff" batteries. These terminate the chain of Russian earthwOrks, but they have a large stone battery on the extreme right n ear th e sea, which is likely to give the French some trouble be. fore it is taken. Beyond Frenchman's-hill and more - to the right we had another five gun battery of 68-pound. ors, commanding the left face of the Round 'Tower, but they have removed four of the guns to Green-bill, where they have done great execution to the barracks and thehouses on that side of the town. When first we opened fire the RuSsians had a large three-decker, called the Twelve Apostles, moored in the dockyard creek, at the mouth of the ravine between Frenchman's-bill and Greenhill batteries, but they soon shifted it out of that to prevent its being set on fire, which it would have been to a certainty had it remained in the same place Since then also they have concealed all their shipping in the Careening Bay, at the back of the Round 'rower, where they are effectually hid from observation, and protected from the fire of our guns, unless a stray shot goei near them. The entrance of the harbour is only eight hundred yards across, and is defended on the north side by forts Constantine and Catherine, and on the south side by forts Alexander, St. Nicholas, and Paul, mount ing I should be afraid to say how many guns,. but you may be able to form some estimate of their number when I tell you that fort St. Nicholas, which is the largest, mounts 192 alone. Above Fort Constantine, and on the north side, is a small fort., which the navy have given the name of the " Wasp's Fort," anl a large earthwork called the "Star Fort," which I expect will give us some trouble to take, even after this side is taken, unless we can starve the garrison out, which we shall certainly attempt. The Russians have a large army assembled there, with which they made an attack on our right flank on the sth of this; month, where the camp of the Second Division, Sir "de Lacy Evans's, rests on the valley of Inkerman. This action, to which Lord Raglan has given the name of "the Battle of Inkerman," is the severest that we have had yet, more so than Alma, as it began at 7 o'clock in the morning, and raged without ceasing until 4 in the after. noon. lam afraid to say what our losses have been, but that of the Russians is variously estimated, from 12,000 to 15,000, which is rather under than above the mark, incredible as it may seem. The Russians had at least fifty thousand men en gaged that day, and brought up nearly a hundred guns to bear upon our position, consisting chiefly of 24 and 32-pounders, which put our modest little field-pieces, so to speak, to the blush. However, two 18-pounders which we brought up late in the day did good execution, and mowed down their crowded ranks like corn before the sickle. Indeed I never saw such frightful carnage in my life, not even at Alma, when the 28d lost so many, and could not have believed it possible that the dead could lie so thick together, if I bad not witnessed it with my own eyes. As fur the numbers of muskets and bayonets, brass caps, great coats, cartoucieboxes, cartridges, grapeshot, cannon-balls, fragments of shell, and dead horses lying upon the ground, they ex .eeded all calculation. The Russians evi dently came for a lengthened stay on the heights, as they brought up a quantity of faseines and gabions to entrench themselves with, in which design they wore grievously disappointed, and had to leave them all behind when they retired, besides 4 ammunition waggons, which we found filled full of shot, and purpose sending back to them the next time we meet. If ever they had a chance of thrashing us it was then, as a dense fog hung about the hills, which enabled them to get their guns into position; and to assemble their forces unperceived, yet ne people ever failed more completely. The 2d Division was taken first by surprise, and had hardly time to seize their arms and to fall in before the enemy was upon them. To add to their confusion, when they came to discharge their arms, net more than one in five would go off after the wetting of the previous night, when it rained in torrents. However, they held. their ground like trumps until the other Division came up, and succeeded in inflicting severe loss upon their opponents, who had been led to expect that they, would meet with little or no opposition from us. The Empe ror's two sons, Constantine and Nicholas, were both on the ground, but took precious gond ,care, I have no doubt, not to expose themselves more than they could help. My regiment was one of the first up, and upon being ordered to charge, dashed forward with such spirit that we got completely surrounded. Fortunately, a panic seized the Russians, who ran away like a flock of sheep, and we were enabled to return in comparative safety, or we should have been cut to pieces. As it was, we lost a fifth of our numbers, but were the means of saving four of our guns which the artillery had already abandoned as no longer ten able. The- hardest fighting decidedly was around a two gun-battery on the extreme right of our line, where I counted five hundred dead Russians in a space that yon could hardly put fifty. The Coldstreams, who defended this position, had eight officers, and I don't know how many men, cruelly butchered, in cold blood, by the Rus sians, after they had been left wounded on the ground,and consequently could do nothing to defend themselves. Most of the prisoners were found to be quitedrunk, which is a common practice of the Russians to give them false courage ; however it did not answer, if they expected them to gain the victory. Another practice, too, of theirs is to station battalions in the rear with orders to fire on those in front in case they attempt to run back, which was done both at Alma and Inkerman—so at least their deserters declare. The troops that we fought at Inkerman were very different to those we met at Alma, who were really fine able-bodied men, with light hair and eyes, and high checked bones, vary like the Scotch, whereas__ the former looked half starved, and had the moat villaneue expressions of countenance. Many of them had come all the way from the Danube, and had been three mouths nn the march. They are still encamped on the other side of the Inkerman valley, but are not likely to renew their attack on that quarter, which the French are ,busy fortifying. A battalion of Freach rendered material assistance at Inkerman, and drove the ff Russians before them like cha before the wind, since which our men can never ineet them with out shouting, " Bravo la France!" to which the others say, "le brave Anglais." The silence and gloom of our encampment contrasts strongly with the noise of theirs, which is often enlivened by the strains of one of their military bands. The fact is, when we landed in the Crimea all our instruments were left on board ship, and the bandsmen being required to carry about stretchers for the sick and wounded, it has not been thought worth while to send for them. I could . relate many amusing anecdotes of the sailors 'who have camps next ours, but must leave theta to another oppor tunity. LLOYD'S 211IPPI1sG—(THIS D 47.)
