HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.) The LOUD CHANCELLOR. took his seat on the woolsack it five o'clock. The Earl of KINNAIRD presented a petition against the Edinburgh Assessment Bill. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Rhyl Bridge, Workington Tidal Basin and Railway, And the Clifton Suspension Bridge Bills, were read a third lime and passed. TIIE GALWAY CONTRACT. The Marquis of NORMANBY wished the noble lord to give a further explanation of the answer he had given to ja question he had put to him the other evening, especially ;as an idea somewhat different prevailed on the other side of *he water. The noble lord had stated that no official correspondence existed between the Lord Lieutenant f Ireland and the Government on the subject of theGalway jrC ontract. He believed, however, there was a private cor =respondence, and he should like to know for certain whe- Aher that was the case. The noble lord then went on to complain of the observations made in the other House of Parliament by the Secretary for Ireland with respect to the authority of the Lola. Lieutenant of Ireland relative to the 'withdrawal of the contract. Earl GRANVILLE said he could only refer the noble marquis to the answer he had given on a former occasion, to the effect that there was no official correspondence be tween the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the home Government. There had, no doubt, been some communi cations with the lord-lieutenant on the subject, as he (Earl Granville) and the noble lord behind him (Lord Stanley of Alderley) and the Prime Minister had received letters from him touching the subject. He thought it would be highly inconsistent to enter into a discussion upon certain state =cuts in private communications. The Earl of CLANCARTY considered the manner in which the lord-lieutenant had been treated on the subject was lowering to the high office he held. He thought it ex traordinary that the noble earl the Viceroy should not have been officially consulted on such a very important subject. The Earl of LEITRIM said he had no doubt it was very inconvenient to produce private communications. H e thought it highly inconsistent that private correspondence should take place on public subjects. He supposed, that because a letter commenced "My dear lord," instead o f "My lord," the noble lord considered it a private communication. He denied that the Lord Lieutenant could lose his popularity by putting forth an opinion publicly, be cause he had none to lose. He considered the Lord Lieutenant was made use of by all parties that required him—he was made use of as the Merryandrew on all occasions. (Order, order.) Well, then, he was made use of to increase the effect of any public show in which he was required. It was high time to decide whether the Government of Ireland was to be reformed or not. Lord PORTMAN rose to order. There really was no motion before the house. Lord BROUGHAM said the noble lord did not know but that the noble earl was going to conclude with a mo tion for a repeal of the union. (Laughter.) The subject then dropped. EDINBURGH ASSESSMENT BILL. This bill was read a second time. IRISH MAGISTRATES. The Earl of LEITRIM moved for returns giving the names of the police officers who have been appointed to be stipendiary magistrates daring the years 1858, 1859, 1860, and 1861, showing the dates of their appointments as sti pendiary magistrates, the dates of their first appointment to the police, and their subsequent promotions in the police ; showing if each such officer underwent ar y examination, competitive or otherwise, previous to his appointment as sti ptndiary magistrate ; and distinguishing such as have been recommended by the lieutenant of the county to which he is appointed. The return was ordered.

REFUSAL TO ADMIT PAUPERS INTO THE WHITECHAPEL WORKHOUSE. Lord R. CECIL asked the President of the Poor Law Board whether his attention had been called to the case of two poor women brought up before the Worship-street Police-court on Friday last, who had been found in a state of great destitution on the pavement in front of the Whitechapel Workhouse, having been refused admia son by the master, and to the remarks of Mr. Knox, the police magistrate, who is reported to have said that such cases were of constant occurrence; and whether he had caused any inquiry to be made ? 3.4 r.

LE IVIS said these bills were being prepared and would be shortly introduced. OFFICERS OF THE BOMBAY ARMY. Sir A. BULLER asked the Secretary of State for India, in reference to the registered list of officers of the Bombay Army serving in Bengal, who have been recommended for brevet majorities on attaining the rank of regimental captains, why whose officers of the Bombay Army now serv ing in the Bombay Presidency, and who have been equally recommended for the same reward, have not also been pub licly registered ? Sir C. WOOD explained that in order to be entitled to the distinction in question it was necessary that an officer should be recommended by his commander-in-chief. IRON -CLAD SHIPS AND ORDNANCE IMPROVE MENT Mr. WATLINGTON asked tha Secretary to the Admi ralty whether it was true that certain improvements in the construction of ironclad ships and in the working of their guns, proposed by Mr. Hamilton, had been latt ly under con sideration of the Boarl of Admiralty for two months,and had been rejected by the board; and, whether there was any objection to lay copier of the reports and correspondence of those officials who had been charged with the examination ° r the said improvements before the bons° ?

LEWIS s lid it was proposed to p revent the THE SUN, LONDON,' TUESDAY EVENING sent occasion, take these into consideration, and he trusted that Government would proceed with their proposal, and not consent to delay. Mr. C. BRUCE thought that they ought not to report progress, but that one of the seats should be given to Birk enhead. He protested against the motion that these four seats could be assigned only to English constituencies. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that though additional mem bers were given at the time of the Reform Bill to Scotland and to Ireland, it did not follow that they should on every occasion disturb the proportion of members allotted to each portion of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire land. The motion for reporting progress was negatived without a division. On the question that clause 4 stand part of the bill the committee divided Ayes Noes 26 Majority in favour of the clause —137 The remaining clauses were then agreed to. Sir F. GOLDSMID did not see the fairness of giving all the four members to one part of the country, and should, at a future stage, call attention to the case of the London University. Mr. AYRTON said he should, on the bringing up of the report, move the recommittal of the bill. Mr. STIRLING gave notice that, on the report, he should state the claims of the Universities of Scotland. The preamble ,was then agreed to, and the house re sumed. COUNTY SURVEYORS, &c. (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. SCULLY:suggested that the best course would be to have a select committee to inquire into the principle of the bill, and moved that the bill be read a third time that day three months. Mr. ST. GEORGE said that he had received from his constituents numerous strong expressions of dissent with respect to the bill, and supported the amendment. Lord T. BROWNE, as one of the Irish members who had recommended the introduction of the bill, thought that the salaries at present given to the county surveyors were not adequate pay for their services. The salary was nomi nally £3OO a-year, but the travelling expenses were at least one-third of that sum. The objection which had been urged against the bill, that no taxation ought to be levied upon Ireland until first sanctioned by the presentment cess, he admitted had some weight, and was deserving of consi deration. It was not correct to state that the bill proposed to double the .o.tartes or all surveyors, as the proposal would only:be applicable to a small portion of the Irish counties. He regretted the opposition to the bill, because the measure carried out the recommendations of a committee which sat upon the subject. Sir E. GROGAN said the question was whether the bill was one in the right direction. He thought it was not. The question required great consideration, with the view of having competent surveyors in every county, devoting their time to the duties of their office, and not appoint ing delegates to work for them. Mr. HERBERT said that a large majority of the Irish members had signed a requisition to the Secretary for Ire land praying him to bring in the present bill. There had been a:searching investigation into the subject in the year 1857, and there was not a single clause in the bill which had not been recommended by the committee who sat upon that occasion. Any postponement of the measure would be doing an act of great it to a very deserving body of men. After some remarks from Mr. BUTT, Mr. B. OSBORNE said that, as a cess payer, he objec ted to the Government proposal, and could not in any way agree with the argument of the honourable member for Youghal, which appeared to him to establish all the objec tions to the principle of the bill. The measure would open a rich door for the increase of taxation. He hoped and trusted that the house would not get into committee on the bill, but would at once reject it. He objected to the appointment and superannuation of sur veyors by the Lord-Lieutenant, and hoped the house would not allow the bill to go into committee. Mr. CARD WELL said that though the bill had met with more opposition than he expected, yet the support which it had received showed that it had not been intro duced in defiance of the feelings of the people of Ireland. In 1857 a committee had inquired into the subject of county surveyors in Ireland, but the bill now before the house was intended to carry the report of the committee into effect. That committee came to the conclusion that the salaries of surveyors should be increased, and that they should be entitled to superannuation allowances. A memorial nu merously signed by Irish members, had been sent to him on the subject, and a large majority of the grand juries of Ire land had declared themselves in favour of the bill, while not one petition had been presented against it. The inten tion of the Government was to pass this bill as it stood, but he should be ready in committee to listen to any sugges tions on the slit ject. (Hear, hear.) After some further discussion, The house divided, when the numbers wet e Ayes.. 4 . 152 Noes.. Majority The house then went into committee on this bill. Clause 1 to 3 were agreed to. On the motion to agree to clause 4, which gave power to increase the salaries of the county surveyors, Mr. HASSARD moved to insert the words " from time to time," in order to give the grand juries power to revise the clause at different periods. Some discussion ensued upon the amendment. The amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. B. OSBORNE moved the addition of a proviso, to the effect that the application for the increase of salary should be made, in the first instance, to the presentment sessions. Some discussion followed, in which Lord Naas, Mr. Butt, Mr. M‘Mahon, Mr. Monsell, Mr. Scully, Lord C. Hamilton, and other members took part. Ultimately a division was taken, when the numbers were— For the amendment 54 Against Majority A motion was then made that the Chairman report pro gress, and the committee divided, when the numbers were— For reporting progress Against Majority The discussion was accordingly continued, and various verbal amendments were agreed to, when another division was taken on the question of adjourning the discussion, when the numbers were— For adjournment 2l Against 59 Majority .. —3B Som© further conversation ensued, and it was agreed that the Chairman report progress. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at half-past two o'clock. THAMES EMBANAMENT. 7 - - Yesterday the commissioners reassembled for the purpose of ascertaining the views of those railway companies, with reference to the proposed embank ment, where it is intended to carry the railways across the river by bridges, that will abut on the embankment, as well as to take the views of the Benchers of the Inner and Middle Temple on the matter. The LORD MAYOR said it was important that the railway companies and other interests should know the extent to which the intended embankment would be carried out into the river. The commis sioners had fully discussed the matter, and had come to the conclusion that the outer edge of the embankment would be 130 feet from the face of the existing abutm.,n+ of Blackfriars-bridge. The Bridge House Estates Committee weiL row having designs made for the new bridge at Blacktriai., and would consequently have to adopt this datum Line in connexion with the engineering designs for that structure. With regard to the level at which the embankment and the railways would have to join, it would have to be determined and governed by the level of the new Blackfriars-bridge itself. Then, as regarded the embankment at Hungerford bridge, the idea of the commissioners was to expel all the water there and to carry a solid embank ment over its whole width, as fur out into the river as the existing pier at Hungerford-bridge, between which and the general line of the shore there would be semetbing like 300 feet. Mr. HAWKSHAW said that on behalf of the Charing-cross Railway Company he had, as re garded the bridge and proposed station at Hunger ford, been acting on the supposition that the embankment would be extended to the pier. If the proposed embankment could only be made simul taneously with the railways and bridges over the Thames it would be a great advantage and conve nience, but he was afraid the embankment would be so long about that this could not be accomplished, The railway company was at work now. In carry ing out . the Charing-cross Railway-bridge, he pro posed to give three spans of openings of 100 feet over that portion of the river to be devoted to the embankment, He was of opinion that there would be an objection to making an inclined road from the embankment, terminating on the edge of the bridge, as it would prevent the road from being extended under the bridge, and would disfigure Blackfriars bridge. Mr. CUBITT, on the part of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, intimated that the points ad verted to by the commissioners should receive con sideration in connec ti on w ith th e wor k s o f th a t railway. The t without acntrailway,s said the Mr. NELSON, f or the I3enchers of the Middle Temple, said that, while obj ec ti ng t o an y embank ment, the T emp l ars, if i t were an unavo i dable public necessity, w ou ld wish it to be on as low a level as possible, Q a t bii t i ori w se as ab th ov a e t the level o f the gardens: o Rp M A Y OR ea4pdroPbiy the embankment wo u ld b • to riseit left the earn before . the Temple -gardens, but not for any great distance, possibly 100 yards, or it might be 30 or 40 yard,, JUNE 18, 1861, so as to give as much headway as could be conveni ently obtained for the wharves, City Gas-works, and other establishments. Mr. YEATES said that at a meeting of the Benchers just held it had been resolved " 1. That the construction and maintenance of a public thoroughfare along the Thames passing in front of the Temple, in whatever way it may be carried out, will most injuriously affect the property of the society. "2. That if hereafter Parliament should sanction any such scheme, the least objectionable mode of carrying it out would be to carry it on the lowest possible level, and at the greatest possible distance from the present river frontage. "3. That the continuation of a railway with the road was unnecessary, not required by the public, and would greatly tend to increase the injury to and depreciation of the Temple property. "4. bat, should the scheme to be adopted be such as to leave any space between the present river wall of the Inner Temple-gardens and the proposed new road, such space should not be appropriated to docks or other public purpose, but should he dealt with as the property of the society, in the manner most advantageous to its interests." Mr. GRAY, for the City Gas Company, said that the proposed embankment would not be objection. able, provided their works had a waterway of 70 feet and a 7-feet headway for access in and out. The Commissioners then adjourned. A NIGHT IN LONDON WITH TILE LATE COUNT CAVOUR. It is admitted on all hands, even by those who detest the very sound of his name, that Europe has lost a very great man in the late Count Cavour. The indecent manifestations that have been at tempted by the reactionists to evince their joy at his untimely death are perhaps the best proofs of the estimation in which his talents and de termination were held. There can be no ques tion that for very, very many years, no man's death has created so profound a sen sation, and, therefore, any incidents connected with his career will be read with interest. During Count Cavour's last residence in England the writer of these remarks had the honour of being his com panion for ten days, during which period he accom panied him in his pursuit of information as to the character of the different classes with which the me tropolis abounds. Count Cavour appeared to have this peculiarity, viz., that nothing was too great for his inquiring mind, and nothing too little for his inves tigation. He would not dip deep into everything. He would not recognise a fact merely, but would understand how that fact was produced. He was to all intents and purposes a great admirer of the prin ciple of cause and effect. To give him evasive answers was needless. He would go to the root of the sub ject. At the period referred to he was anxious to ascertain how far the sanitary question, then in high favour, worked ; and whether the Public Health Act, the Nuisance Removal and Disease Prevention Act, and the Common Lodging Houses Act worked successfully. He determined to test them practically. For instance, he visited the Model Lodging Houses and the dwellings belonging to the Metropolitan Association during the day time and at night, and he was delighted with all he witnessed. But this did not suffice. He wanted the contrast, however, and wished to place in juxta-position the condition of the working classes under the new system and those who lived under the old. He was much, as are all foreigners, struck with the evidences of immense wealth that meet the eye in the leading thorough fares Of the metropolis, and in the aristocratic regions of Belgravia and Tyburnia. From his position in life he had the entree into the mansions of the highest and wealthiest in the land. He saw how they lived and were housed, and he desired to ascertain how the poor were provided for in the metropolis. Various plans were proposed to afford him this in sight, until at length he:suggested a midnight visit to the very worst and very poorest districts of Lon don. He said he wanted to judge.for himself what really was the position of the mass of the people of this great city. Hitherto, he remarked, " I have seen the outside of London, I should now like to see the inside." Arrangements were accordingly made with the Metropolitan Commissioners of Police, who placed three of their best officers at his dis posal, and who made arrangements by which he could visit the worst districts of the metropolis without any personal danger; A party of five started one evening, about nine o'clock, under the guidance of a most intelligent inspector of the police force, and about half-past ten found them selves in the worst part of Bethnal Green. Their first halting place was a low public-house in a narrow street. The inspector said, "This is one of the worst houses in the metropolis; it is a notorious house of call for burglars." On the entry of the party the landlord recognised the inspector, and asked sotto voce," Who do you want to-night ?" Assurances were given that no mischief was in tended, and after some conversation between the officers and the keeper of the den of thieves, Count Cavour and his party were admitted to an upper room, in which, at a sort of free and easy, were seen some twenty men, all of whom bad been convicted as felons. The chairman had only two days before come out of prison, and had the unmistakeable prison crop. The door on entry was immediately bolted, and a dead silence ensued, because every man there knew the inspector, and believed that he had come prepared for immediate action. When, however, it was known that no one was just then "wanted," and as the party were prepared to stand brandy and water all round, their bashfulness wore off, and the count was entertained with songs more graphic than moral, and by one or two glove fights, which seemed to amuse him much. From thence the party wended their way through many scenes which it would not be advisable to describe, until they arrived at Shad well and Wapping. It was then verging. on twelve o'clock, and the different penny gaffs and dancing saloons in this infamous neighbourhood were each in their turn visited. Count Cavour was muoh struck with the beauty of many of the unfortunate class of females who frequent these places. Many of them were magnificently dressed, and would have cast in the shade the best of the class who infest the west end of London. Their prey is " poor Jack." A few hours' indulgence in one of these haunts but too often costs him the savings and arrears of pay for three or four years. These women look down with contempt upon any one who does not carry about him the characteristics of a seaman. In one of these places Count Cavour was no fascinated with the beauty of some of the females that it was diffieult to get him away, and strange as it may seem, it is no less a fact, that during the visit in question there was no more impropriety exhibited in thesedancing rooms than in an ordinary public ball room. It would occupy too much space to detail all that was wit nessed on that memorable night, but suffice it to say that, having seen all that was to be witnessed in this " high life below stairs," Count Cavour wished to see how the very poor were housed and where they slept—that countless horde that oome from we know not where when any great occasion, festival, or fire occurs. At the period referred to, the Common Lodging-house Act had hardly fairly come into operation ; some houses were registered, but the majority were not. The houses registered were visited first, and in these there were some sem blances of decency preserved. Married people were screened off from the single, and the division of the sex was enforced. There was also compa rative cleanliness and some attempt at ventilation. Count Cavour remarked, " After all, this is not as bad as I anticipated." " Wait," said the Inspector, "until you go into the house in the next court, and then I think you will be surprised." And surprised and horrified he was. The keeper of the lodging house at first seemed disposed to prevent an entry ; but the well-known face of the officer soon overcame all opposition. The party went up such a staircase as, we believe, cam only be found in Whitechapel. On the landing was an indescribable obstacle, of which Count Cavour, who did not see very well, had practical experience. The door of the common room was then thrown open, and in a space repre sented by 20ft. by 14ft. were counted no less than 33 men and women, the majority of them without garments or covering of any kind, lying indiscrimi nately on the floor on some sacking. To economise space these poor wretches laid in such a manner that the feet of the ono was under the armpits of the other. Words are inadequate to convey an idea of the horrors of the scene, or of the frightful effluvia that met one on entering the room. The walls were dripping with the condensed breath of these poor wretches, On the exit Count Cavour remarked, " You iiay talk of the dirtiness of Italians and the filth of the Lazaroni of Naples, but, believe me, all Italy could not ohow you Ruch 4 sight as we have just witnessed." This new aspect of the metropolitan poor seemed to strike him im mensely. He could hardly comprehend how, in the greatest and wealthiest city in the civilised world, such a state of things could exist. To him it seemed an enigma, that England, which boasted of being the most civilised nation in the world, could permit such a state of things to exist. Had he been spared to Italy that scene in White chapel would not have been lost; that night's wan dering would have possibly been productive of great results. One would have thought that what he had just witnessed would have sufficed him, but it was not so; he wanted to see where les voleurs lived, and the police were ready to oblige him. The party were taken to a remarkably clean-looking lodging house in Bishopsgate. On the entry of the police the landlord turned pale, and on being informed of the nature of the visit he was all smiles. The in spector informed the Count that this was one of the most notorious sleeping dens in London. On going upstairs not more than five or six men and boys were in bed. The rooms were clean and airy con sidering the locality. One notorious pickpocket was unconcernedly cooking his supper, and looked defiance at the police. On Count Cavour remarking on there being so few of the beds occupied, the landlord, with a quiet smile, said " Oh, sir, they have not come home from work." And, on being asked for an explanation, he stated that the majo rity of his lodgers were at the West End, attending the theatres. It was now verging on two o'clock, and all but Count Cavour were anxious to break off in Bishopsgate. But he had not seen half enough. A consultation was held, and it was determined to visit the purlieus of Smithfield and Field-lane, and to terminate our labours in St. Giles's. All this was duly performed, and when at five o'clock in the morning the party sat down to a sort of half supper half breakfast, they scarcely knew themselves. They were begrimed with dirt, and their garments were infested with strangers that rendered it ad visable not to use them again. They separated at six a.m., tired and fagged. The writer had made an appointment with Count Cavour at eight the same morning some days previously. Unfortunately he forgot it, being overcome with fatigue, but the count was there to the moment, and was very angry that the same punctuality had not been observed by his compagnon de voyage. One more incident about the late count, and we have done. He was desirous of seeing Messrs. Barclay and Perkins' monster brew ery, and the sturdy draymen who flogged Marshal Haynau. He was delighted with all he saw, and gladly accepted the different kinds of malt liquor that were proffered. He began with mild porter, and went up to the strongest stout; then renewed the attack on mild ale, and finished with X X XX. All went well enough whilst he was in the cool vaults, but, like many other people who have gone over this remarkable brewery, when he came into the open air he saw three or four broughams. in stead of one. As a companion Count Cavour was delightful. Full of humour and anecdote he caused the time to pass lightly and pleasantly 1 and although possessed of deep learning he never paraded it, but seemed as if he were only desirous of acquiring information instead *of imparting it. Few at the period referred to had any idea of the depth of his understanding, or of the indomitable perseverance of character that in after years he displayed. Perhaps even he him self was unaware of how much sterling worth there was in him, and it was only as the stirring events occurred that it became apparent. However ambi tious, ho could hardly have hoped that what he so desired and was working for would be brought about in comparatively so short a time. Tho mid night visitor to the haunts of the wretched in the metropolis could hardly have believed, if any one had told him, that ere long he was destined to hold one of the most prominent positions in Europe, and that he should be cut off in the zenith of his glory. —Examiner. THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT _KINGS WOOD RECTORY. REIGATE, MONDAY NIGHT. Up to this morning the police authorities enter tained confident hopes that they would be enabled to secure the apprehension of the perpetrators of this barbarous murder by the aid of the extraordi nary evidence which fell into their possession by the discovery of a highly important packet of papers accidentally dropped by the murderers before they left the Rev, Mr. Taylor's house. Their secret machinery having failed, the police now appeal to the public, through the medium of the press, to assist them in their endeavours to bring the guilty parties to justice. With this view the reporter has been made acquainted with the precise nature of the contents of the documents referred to, with a request to publish only those portions which were previously withheld under the impression that their publication would be unadvisable, as tending to inform the mur derers of the movements of the police. It is now hoped that the public will carefully peruse the de scriptions given of the murderers, and that conse quently they will soon be apprehended. It may, therefore, at once be stated that among the papers referred to was a book with which each working German is provided by order of the State, and in which he is minutely described by name, age, height, complexion, marks on person, &c., for the purpose of keeping a proper record of the movements of the individual. Upon going into any service this book has to be produced, and the employer then inserts his name, occupation, reel , dence, and other particulars respecting himself, as well as the date at which the engagement com menced, when it terminated, and the conduct of the orniaoye during the period of such service. By I his book it appeared that the owner was named Johann Carl Franz, of Konigstein, in the kingdom of Saxony ' • he was 25 years of age, and of m iddl e height, he had light brown hair cut short, and no whiskers, brown eyes, and no distinguishing marks about hiti person. He was last in the employment of Wilhelm Gotthelf Biemer, timber merchant, as a raftsman, and was discharged on the 19th April last, having only filledhisengage moat for ten days. In the book was the register of his birth, which was fixed as having taken place in 1835, and another certificate showed that he was the illegitimate son of a soldier named Gotlaib, and that he himself had entered the army, but was dis charged from the recruiting depot in April, 1855, as being unfit for a soldier. There were also several letters in the book. They were all written in the German language, and the following was addressed to Madlle. Tietjens, the eminent singer : " London, June 4, 1861. "Honoured Madam You will kindly excuse a poor German, who solicits your kindness. lam a native of Breslau, in Silesia, and am by profession a horn turner. I have iecentily worked in Hamburg, where, busineo, becom ing slack, Was recommended to go to England, work being well paid in that country. I have been already five weeks here, and unfortunately am unable to procure work, as I can't speak English. I find myself in London in the greatest want, as I am entirely without means, and have already sold my best clothing. lam longing to get back again to Germany, as I have no prospects here. I have been informed that your ladyship is one of great compassion, and that you will assist a poor German. " In expectation of the successful result of this applica tion, I remain, with the greatest respect, yours humbly, " ADOLPHE KROHN." Madlle. Tietjen's answer to the above was also found in the book. It was dated from that lady's residence at St. John's-wood, on the 7th June last, and was addressed to Mr. Krool, the proprietor of the Hamburg Hotel, America-square, City. She ex pressed her deep sympathy with the bearer, re ferred to his privations, and req•usted Mr. Kro o l to carry out wh a t s h e conce ivedlo be the most beneficial scheme for his welfare, viz., procuring for him, on her behalf, a passage to Hamburg by the first opportunity. She promised at the same time to defray all expenses, and urged Mr. Krool to take the necessary steps for the comfort of the unfortu nate person immediately on receiving her commu nication. Mr. Superintendent Coward, with Sergeant Robinson, have waited upon Madlle. Tietjene. She at once identified. her own letter, which was shown her by the officers, and stated that a young man called upon her and made a verbal application for assistance. He mentioned all the circumstances referred to in the above letter, w hich was shown to her, and added th at h e h a d slept two nights in the streets, and had no means to procure either food or bed. Commisgating his position, but not wishing to give him money, as she was waited upon by so many similar applicants, she penned the let ter which the officers produced, requesting M r . Krool to send the young man over to his native Sin, in country. Mdlle. Tietjens was then requested to give a d escr i pt i on o f th e p erson i n question beard,waso f She said he was a young man, apparently about 21 years o f age, about sft. 4i n. or sft, oin an d d ark com seemed - s p t i tt ex tu jo re n: h h a a d d b n la o ck w c h u isk rly er h s a o ir r , never to have been shaved; he Was d ressed in a dark cloth coat and trousers, and bad on a common blue striped shirt with a turned-dt)Wn collar and a buck neck tie. It also trRS , all paw at this interTiew that Mdlle. Tietjens' mother, on Tuesday morning last (about the time the murder was discovered), proceededeem p e risin g t o Mr. m e K r i r c n a e - qi in a t r h e e for su r nhe the purposead paido f rien providing the passage to Hamburg for the person e s e x n p t r e w s s i e t h d the let t ignoranceletter by her of a ny daughter.snsuch letter, saidr ol that no one at all had waited upon him with any such request. The officers have also waited upon Mr. Krool, and he makes the same statement. It is clear, therefore, that the application to Mdlle. Tietjen s was on l y made in the hope of procuring money, and that the wish to return to Germany was fictitious. No doubt the party upon receiving the letter opened it immediately, found the contents were opposed to his wishes and expectations, and determined at any rate to postpone, for a time at least, putting it to any practical use. The application to Mdlle. Tietjens for the assis tance took place on the Friday prior to the murder on Monday night, and as two men, answering in every particular the descriptions contained in the book and that given to the officers by the lady in. question, were seen in the neighbourhood of Kings wood on Friday evening it is clear that soon after the receipt of the letter, they must have left tewn and have proceeded to the locality indicated. The police, entertaining no doubt that the person referred to in the book, and the other, whose name was signed to the letter, were the perpetrators of the m ur d er, their full descriptions w ere circulated throughout the country, and on Saturday evening a young man, a Ripley,o one of of foreigner, bearing a c l ose resemblancee toof them, entered a publi c -h ouse i n t h e villa six miles from Guildford. He callci for some re freshment, and while it was being prepared, the landlord, feeling confident that he was one of the probable murderers, sent for a poliee-constable. An officer of the name of King soon arrived, sat down by the side of the pers on i n question, and entered into conversation with him. Shortly after, much to the consternation of the individual, he was in formed by the constable that he must consider him self in custody as being concerned in the murder of Martha Halliday, of Kingswood Rectory. He said the officer was mistaken, as he knew nothing what ever about it, and expressed his willingness to go with him wherever he liked to take him. He was then taken over to Guildford, and kept in close cus tody until this morning, when he was brought to Reigate byMr. Superintendent Parr, of the Surrey Constabulary, and, lodged at the station. Upon being searched, only fourpence was found upon, him. He said that ho had come from Portsmouth, as could be at once ascertained at that p l ice, and had walked to the place where he was apprehended, on his way to Brighton. Immeditecely after his apprehension the persons who had, seen the strange men about Kingswood, and the policeman who had met the same persons at Sutton at a quarter to two on last Tuesday morning, were brought over to this place for the purpose of proving the identification of the accused. He was placed amongst several other persons, and none of the witnesses could recognise him as either of the two men they had seen. Still, as a matter of course, he was taken at eleven o'clock this morning, before William Street, Esq., one of the local magistrates, and after Superinten 'tient Parr had expressed his opinion that he was not one of the guilty persons, he was at once dis charged. He wa s supplied with sufficient minty to pay his fare to Lond on where he wished to go. Ho was very little disconcert e d at the peculiar posi tion in which he found himself, and promised that when he got to town he would endeavour to his utmost to trace the murderers, and if su ccessful to furnish informati on t o the police. He afterwards rendered essential service to the police by giving them a literal translation of all the documents which the murderers had left behind them. Of course, as the result proved his innocence, it would be unfair to mention his name, but it transpired that he was a native of Dantzic, was a clerk, 26 years of age, and of superior education. No blame can be attached to the officer for effecting the apprehension, as his resemblance to the description of Franz was very close. 'TRY .hiARXLaTS'. COLCHESTER, ...JUNE 15.
