If we may trust the Court Circular and the ru mours of the day, it is pretty obvious that the Go verrireents of England and of Franco are already Ift -- riOion on the ensu ing campaign. It is imposible, i n d ee d, to belide that two such em pire; together with those of Turkey and_ Sardinia, Flo not poss ess means sufficient to supply an army superior in numbers and e quipment to that of 'Russia, and the re f ore the on ly point in which the Allies can possibly f a i l is i n t h e mode of wielding the forces at their di sposal. U n d er such circum stances it is obviou s th at a plan o f o p e rations is of the very deepest importance. The mass of man kind are so ignorant of the real secret of the suc cess of military operation s — so apt t o be carried away by the brilliant details of particular engage ments—so incapable of seeing the general principle upon which a commander-in-chief proceeds, that except in a few cases, neither the value of military science nor the merit military of a milit a ever properly estimated.conception is Wh en Marlborough, in his first campaign, drove back the French within their borders, it seemed a Ever since this wretchedly mismanaged war began our Ministers have been thinking of peace— fighting with an olive branch. Russia has been thinking of war, and fighting with the sword. This miserable hankering after peace has been the cause of all our failures. In the old time the cry of England at a commencement of a war was " Flam herge au vent," until the point for which she fought was decided by the subjugation of her enemy, and then peace became possible. The contrary course has produced all the vacillations, tailures, and losses of the last t wo y ears. Even since &se late mischievous discu ssions be g an Russia has been in earnest, England has not ; jeopardised a‘ nci the resl t t h s e have been that we have lost and she has gained o li rwe a seo r rl s vwe a hs nd Herat, and not impossibly delibe ration.

How was the poison administered t It must have beer. either in the food or medicine. The vessels in which the food was cooked and the injections prepared were of sheet iron. There was io arsenical or other glaze about them. They were such as are ordicarily used in houses, without any of the results of arsenical poisoning being observed. The medical gentlemen, whatever may have been their indiscretion in keeping their suspicions of poisoning con cealed during a period of three weeks, are completely exonerated by these facts from any participation in the administration of arsenic to the deceased. The symptoms of poisoning, according to the evidence, were first manifested about the middle of May, but it was not until the Sth of June that a suspicion arose that poi son was the cause. It does not appear that injections a ere used until about this date, and, assuming that the early symptoms were caused by arsenic, some of the poison must have been taken by the mouth ; hence those about the deceased, who were in the habit of giving her food or medicine, must, either knowingly or unknow ingly, have administered arsenic. There was no proof of the possession of poison by any one about the de ceased, if we except the discovery of an ounce bottle, The main fact in favour of the accused relied upon in the defence and in the summing up of the learned judge was, that there was no motive. The same remark wi.l apply with equal force to every individual who was around the deceased. The only medical fact which bore apparently with any force against the accused was not placed before the jury by the learned judge. There was arsenic in a pewter syringe, identified es that which be longed to the accused, and proved by the witness Ann Taylor to have been constantly used by him and herself in administering injections. A brass syringe borrowed by the prisoner bad been previously tested, and arsenic was pronounced to he present in it. It was afterwards found, however, that arsenical muriatic acid had been used in testing it, and therefore the result could not be relied on. Two other syringes found on the premises were subsequently tested by pure materials, and in one of these—a pewter syringe already referred to, the only one used—arsenic was detected ! There was no arsenic in the metal. labelled " Fowler's Solution," containing a small quan tity of liquid. This was in a basket with other medicines belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Wooler, and to which, it ap pears, they both had access. This bottle had disappeared before the inquest. It is right to state that, when seen on two different occasions, there was the same quantity of liquid in it. Although labelled " Fowler's Solution," there was nothing to show that the contents of the bottle consisted of this preparation. Hence, strictly speaking, the possession of arsenic was not traced to the accused, nor to any one about the person of the deceased. All who had dispensed medicines for her were called, and they clearly proved that no arsenical preparation had been at any time used by them. In the address made by the learned judge to the jury the mistake respecting the arsenic in the brass syringe (the borrowed one) was placed very prominently before them ; but the fact regarding the positive existence of arsenic in the pewter syringe (the prisoner's own) was not even adverted to ; it was passed over as an unimportant circumstance ! But it is surely important to consider how the arsenic gob into the prisoner's syringe, and who used it. We have heard it suggested that by a reversed action of the valves some of the fluids of the rectum might have been drawn into the tube. This far-fetched hypothesis will not, however, explain the facts ; the fluids secreted from the lower bowels could not have been, under the circumstances, so saturated with arsenic as to account for the result. The deceased was undergo• ing chronic poisoning as a result of absorption, not acute poisoning from a large quantity of arsenic, taken at a dose, of which the surplus would be mechanically dis charged through the rectum. There is no theory to ex plain this fact, except that fluid containing arsenic must have been used in the syringe, and a portion retained. It appears, from the evidence, that the injections were administered to the deceased by Mr. Wooller (the nc cused), and by Ann Taylor, the confidential servant. On two occasions only the latter was assisted by Miss Lan chester, a friend of the deceased. Such are the medical facts regarding the administration of poison in this case ; the proof could be carrried no further. Had the fact of the discovery -of arsenic iu the syringe used by the prisoner been laid before the jury, instead of being passed over altogether, it might not have affected their verdict, but it would have probably been more satisfactory to the public. The jury have pro nounced the prisoner, under the direction of the judge, to be an innocent man wrongly accused of the crime of murder. Still the fact remains—Mrs. Wooller has died from the effects of arsenic, apparently administered in injections by those about her, the administrations being in small doses, extending over a periud of several weeks. The learned judge, however, openly stated that this ad ministration had not been without full consciousness on the part of some person not directly indicated. It is unfortunate that, by this remark, a heavy weight of sus picion is made to rest upon persons undoubtedly inno cent of this foul and unnatural crime. Now, it is obvious that there is no one thing that can aid her in sowing dissension, or exciting weariness, so effectually as the opportunity afforded. by discussions such as we have alluded to. It is dur ing such that words prevail over facts. Russia is essentially Asiatic, and it requires great knowledge of the East to judge how vast among Orientals is .the power of words. Talleyrand used to say that even in Europe words were given to conceal thoughts. In the East they are used for no other purpose but to deceive, and it is, therefore, that the necessity exists of looking to facts alone, in attempting to form a judgment of the future.

A GIGANTIC HOTEL.—We understand that a project has been recently set on foot for the purchase of the National Gallery, the barracks in the rear, and the stack of houses extending from the barracks to St. Martin's place, the object being to erect upon the site—the most magnificent in Loudon—a gigantic and costly hotel, to be denominated the Imperial. The draft of an Act of Parliament has already been lodged in the Private Bill office fer the establishment of a .company to be called "The Imperial Hotel Company." The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,0001., in shares of 101. each. The undertaking is one of unusual magnificence, and it may be worth the serious consideration of Parliament whe ther, the National Gallery being notoriously unfitted for its purpose, it would not be desirable to negotiate a sale by which a very large sum of money 'may be saved to the nation. Notices have been sent round to the several owners of property situated within the selected site. --- - In support of her charge she produced letters, pur porting to have been addressed by her husband to Mlle. Carmen ; they were written in very extravagant style, and professed the most fervent love. Under these cir cumstances the Tribunal allowed Mine. Ronconi time to produce proof of her accusation. She subsequently appeared before the examining ma gistrates, and declared that in 1853 Ronconi had re sided with Mlle. Carmen in an hotel in the Rue Jacob ; but the master and the concierge of the hotel, whom she caused to be summoned as witnesses, declared positively that they knew neither Ronconi nor Mlle. Carmen ; and as she was not able to bring forward any other proof, her complaint was declared unfounded. She appealed to the Imperial Court against this deci sion, but it was confirmed. She was thereupon ordered to be brought to trial on her husband's complaint, and Cattabeni was ordered to be tried with her as her ac complice. After repeated postponements granted on Mme. Renconi'e demand, the trial of the pair took place yesterday (Jan. 2), before the Tribunal of Correctional Police. When the case was called, Mine. Ronconi did not appear, but Cattabeni presented himself. M Cr6mieux, advocate of Ronconi, said that the prods verbal of the commissary of police clearly proved that Mme. Ronconi and Cattabeni had been guilty of adultery, and that, be sides, they made no attempt to deny their glint; but, notwithstanding, Ronconi did not wish to have his wife severely punished, but merely subjected to such a con demnation as should enable him to obtain a separation from her. With respect to her allegation that he had forced her into the arms of Cattabeni, by his adultery with a woman named Carmen, the learned counsel as• sured the Tribunal that it was utterly false, for that no such person as Carmen existed. The fact was that Ron coni had obtained proofs that his wife was unfaithful to him, and he determined to separate from her ; but fear ing the ridicule which is generally heaped on a deceived husband, he resolved to feign a passion for another wo man, in order to make it appear that the separation was caused by his misconduct. He therefore arranged with his wife to write letters to an imaginary mistress professing the most ardent love for her, and another letter to his wife de claring that, in consequence of that love for another, he could no longer live with her. With these letters Mme. Ronconi was to have gone before the Civil Tribunal, and to have demanded a separation ; Ronconi, on his part, making no opposition. But she afterwards refused to fulfil these conditions, and calumniated her husband in the newspapers. Extraordinary as the statement about the non-existence of Mlle. Carmen was, the learned ad vocate assured the Tribunal that it was strictly true, and, as a proof of it, he stated that Mlle. Carmen was iso other than the heroine of a novel by Paul Feval, en titled "Les Amours de Paris." Ho concluded by pass• ing a high encomium on Ronconi, and by stating that at the very time his wife was attacking him in a shameful way before the Tribunals of Paris he was, at the risk of his own life, attending the victims of chrlera at Granada. M. Langlais then rose to pre sent the defence of Madame Ronconi, but the Pre sident remarked that, as she was not present, he could not be allowed to speak. The advocate, how ever, said that she was certain to appear in a few minutes, and he proceeded to allege that he had letters and papers proving that Ronconi was even worse than his wife had represented. M. Ciecinieux remarked, with some heat, that, as he had shown indulgence to Mme. Ronconi, it was unjustifiable in her advocate to assail her husband. The President said that, as Mine. Ronconi did not appear, her advocate must be prevented continuing to address the Court. He then called on Cattabeni for his defence, but that person offered none ; he, however, in answer to a question, remarked that Ise had undergone thirty-five days' imprisonment whilst awaiting his first trial. M. Langlais attempted to get the case postponed, in order to allow Madame Ronconi time to appear, but the Tribunal refused, and it condemned her by default to three months' impri sonmen t, an d Cattabeui to eight days of the same punishment. A few minutes after Madame Ronconi arrived, and M. Langlais begged that the condemnation by default might be set aside, and that he might be heard on her behalf. M. Cremieux, being appealed to, made no objection ; and after Mine. Ronconi had, in an answer to the usual questions, stated her name, that her age was 35, and her profes s i on th a t o f a dramatic artiste, M. Langlais entered into a mass of details to p rove t hat Ronconi waswas the sh e cause wh o b o a f d the made mihscisonfodrutcotoeofashaisewali.fteis,tet,haonudghhai(ti by her courage and energy enabled him to contend against the difficulties which beset him as director of the Italian Theatre in 1848; and he asserted that he had let ters which showed cle arl y that Ronconi . bad encouraged his wife's adultery wit h Cattabou, but he said that they were of such a nature that he could not read them. He therefore demanded the acquittal of Mme. Ronconi, as the law does not allow a husband who has encouraged a wife's miscon duct to complain of her. The Tribunal, after hearing M. Cremieux, decided that the sentence to three months' imprisonment must be confirmed.—Ualignants Messenger. PROPOSED INTRODUCTION OF CON VICTS INTO NATAL.

A. number of the inhabitants of Natal have petitioned the Queen that convicts, not being ticket-of-leave men, may be sent out to be employed on the improvement of the harbour, and on other public works, accompenied at the same time by a sufficient force of troops to guard and control the convicts an d protect t h e f ree inhabitants. A counter petition, deprecating the introduction of convicts into the colony, has also been numerously signed. In this second petition it ur,cred that a loan of money would more effectually and satisfactorily accomplish the object (the improvement of the harbour), and that with out entailing upon this young colony the many evils con sequent upon making it in any shape a penal settlement. The petitioners also say that the white population of the district, estimated at 6,000, is at present scattered over an area as great as that of Scotland, houses being fre quently many miles distant from their nearest neigh bours, and yet, by the blessing of God and the protection of your Majesty's name, lives in a state of security. That the most public and the most private roads are day and night safely traversed by single and unarmed travellers ; while property, often of great value, it WALT AND WINE.—A commissioner of the Insol vent Debtors' Court, one of the wittiest men of the day, was dining lately in company with Mr. Wakley, the well•known coroner. "Do you like that wine, Wakley ?" asked the commisioner. " Very good, indeed," said Wakley. " Ah," said his friend, " being a coroner, I thought you'd like it. Therc'e a body in it."

SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 5. STOCK EXCIIANOE.—The tone of the market has bee* quiet to-day, and prices are a shade better than yesterday. Lancashire and Yorkshire (Liverpool, Crosby, and South. port), 14—Midland, 63I—North British, 7.7.3.—Dutch Rhenish, d. 1138. 9d.—Great Western of Canada, 24j. conveyed in open waggons, which night after night stand &most unprotected ou the public highway. Your peti tioners are, however, but too well assured that the intro duction of convicts would throw the colony into a state of alarm for the security of life and property for which no material advantage supposed to he gained could com pensate. That they cannot but regard with the utmost alarm the prospect of convicts being introduced into the midst of 109,000 natives settled in this district, and some thousands of whom are now peacefully serving their white fellow-subjects, submitting to the restraints of civi lised life, but who might be easily roused into fierce an tagonism, and who are further surrounded in every di rection by uncounted tribes whose delight is rapine and war. Your petitioners feel that they need not dwell upon the inevitable consequences of mingling, whether by the escapes or by the expiry of their sentences, of men of desperate character with the natives, whose admiration fur fearless daring is a passion, and whose love of plun der is insatiable ; and earnestly implore your Majesty to avert from South Africa the horrors of another Kafir war, with all its expenditure of treasure and the speedy result they feel assured of such a measure as the introduction of convicts. According to the reports in the local paper', the op• peeing parties are nicely balanced. Country Marker MARK . ;T-JAN. 4. OM's. 33s Od 29s 5d BIUI.. 491 03 431 44 25s Od 40.
