The public will read with interest the eloqusn address of Earl RUSSELL to the assembly at Aber deen. It was replete with the varied information in which the noble lord is so great a proficient, and thus peculiarly adapted and appropriate to a learned and rEfiaed audience. It was besides a refreshing change from the mere surface politics of the day to follow the course of a speaker who dived into the depths of the past, and analysed the ()eminences that took place, and the influence which they exer cised upon mankind for good and fort: evil. A learned eddress like this i s one which the noble lord is well fitted to deliver, and for which his his torical knowledge eminently qualifies him. He said himself that ho considered it as within the "usual scope of his labours." In some respects hid obser vations partake of the character of the philosophy of history, always an instructive and interesting branch of study to a contemplative and thoughtful audience. The questions which formed the basis of the argument were significant ones, and well calcu lated to develop the full force of the idea. First— "ls there any law or general rule by which the decline of States is governed; and, secondly, what is the general aspect of the world at present, and doth it teach us to hope or to despond ?" In allud ing to the first of these subjects the noble lord very wisely pointed out that many persons were too apt to consider that there was a kind of fate or destiny which caused the rise and fall of States, thus passe iog over the true sources of strength and the real cauees of decay. Certainly a more dangerous notion can hardly gain ground, and it is the duty of all influential men to put a stop to the spread of such a deteriorating view. At the pre sent time, when our country has attained to so great a height of prosperity, it may be wise occasionally to d cell upon the history of those mighty States which fell in the period of w ea lth an d seeming b tscegth, and did not fade away gradually from the influence of adverse causes. Lord RUSSELL'S de scription of the events that produced the decline of the great Roman Empire was very forcible, an d i n especial it was an impressive passage in which he alluded to the triumph of literature in the Augus tan age. He said that it was the previous struggle rhich occasioned such greatness, and not the voluptuous age in which it appeared that was the p imary cause of the great display. "It was the previous liberty which for a time in the midst of security enabled those great writers to flourish, who made Roman literature famous through all time." In explanation of this he inttoduct4 a fine meta- phor, showing that to suppose the Augustan age produced the greatness, was as if anyone attributed all the glories of autumn to that season, forgetful that spring and summer had also contributed their share to those juices and fruits which are so strong at their close. " And that autumn in which those fraits are produced in which we find the grape so luxuriant, and the olive so abundant, has preceded the winter during which all these fruits wither and disappear." A good illustration of the fallacy of supposing that violent demonstrations and un• bridled fury can cure and check the progress of evil, was given by the noble lord in his remarks upon the death of C-M3AR. In this, as he said his assassins neither served the " Republic, liberty, nor the world." " When the spirit cf liberty has been overpowered by a lawless soldiery, and sunk in the vices of a corrupt people, it can not be restored by the dagger." This is a very true reflection, and it would be well for many nations if they recognised its truth and acted on its principle. It is in the constitution of a State and the character of a people that we must look for the germs of impending revolution, and the promise of future stability, and the exaltation of this great genius, or the destruction of that great tyrant will not prevent the one nor produce the other condition. " What was required," said the noble speaker emphatically, " was not the death of a man but the regeneration of a people." He also showed the incalculable mischief produced by such license given to desperate acts. If you sanction BRUTUS, how can you accuse RAVAILLAC ? So that if mankind leaves the adju dication of affairs to assassins, as different ideas prevail upon the subject of tyrants, they may in violate all, like WILLIAM of ORANGE, "seeking to deliver a people from the chains of tyranny ; or, like HENRY IV. of France, opening the ways of peace and prosperity to a people." When the noble lord left ancient for modern topics he was neces• sarily more confined and cautions in his remarks, for, as he aptly declared, he was treading upon perilous ground, and " there were ashes but a short way beneath the surface, which he might find to be burning under his feet." He made some decided statements, however, which bore reference to the great improvements that have blessed and benefited the whole human race since those long past days when, if empires flourished in the magnificence of their might, they did not possess the advantage of the corresponding inflaeuces which strengthen and solidify the pre.. sent foremost nations of the world. Civilisation is everywhere driving barbarism before it, and thus we need not now dread that a great country will fall before the invasion of hordes of barbarians, as did the mighty city of Italian fame. As for repre sentative government, Lord RUSSELL thinks that that form has also spread to a very considerable extent ; and thus we may see one of the chief sources that give strength and security to our own highly -favoured land extended to other countries hitherto not so benefited with the blessing. • For the African race the noble lord declared that there is hope, and he quoted adanecdote very much to the point, that when SYNDEY SMITH heard a gen tlemen once declare that it was useless to talk of the Africans becoming civilised, he observed to him as they came out " Well, you made an excellent speech, but it was just such a speech as a Senator of Rome would have made to prove that it was quite hopeless to civilise the Britons." This is a very good reproof to those who will not allow that others may march on in the path that has led them and their forefathers to riches and renown, but which they entered upon as ignorant and helpless as those they now decry. Lord RussELL said that if there was any bright spot in the darkness now existing on the continent of America, it was for the African race. The noble lord truly said that our finite capacity is apt to forget that in the sight of the ALMIGHTY a thousand years are bat as a single day, and that we should not measure progress by our limited standard, but compare it with the doctrines of the human race, as it will affict or influence them in the spread of events to the end of time. The conclusion of this speech was most excellent, and worthy of the speaker and the occasion, when he toad his hearers that as many opinions prevailed so there should be tolerance exercised. The words of the Apostle should be remembered in dealing with the different sentiments that animate mankind, " Faith, hope, and charity ; but the greatest of these is charity," The great question of the possible utilisation of the m3tropolitan sewage is at last likely to be brought fairly under notice, and the city of London has the credit of inaugurating the inquiry. The matter has indeed been for many years openly dis. cussed and examined into by enterprising and scientific men ; the one class with a view to improve log the producing power of the soil, the other in their pursuit of scientific knowledge. Baron LIEBIG, the great authority on all points of practi cal chemistry, declares that he has ever since 1840 been earnestly endeavourieg to direct public atten• Lion to the benefits they are wasting, and many landowners and occupiers have been making ex periments in dressing their land with sewage manure during the last few years. There has even been a Royal Sewage Commission and a select Parliamentary Committee on the subject, and it is therefore quite time that we had some practical re sult of all these preparations. Of late, however, the question has fallen rather into the shade, and has ceased to occupy so much attention. In 1858, indeed, we all had cause to remember that not only did we fail to put the cretropolitan sewage to profitable use, but we disposed of it in a manner positively irjurious. Since then we have mended matters a little, but if, according to the opinion of well informed practical men, the sewage of the metropolis alone is worth between two and three millions a year, and that amount could be disposed of to the relief of the ratepayers, the ques. Lion is really worth looking into. The report of the Coal, Corn, and Financial Committee, presented to the Cour, of Common Council on Saturday last, enters very fully into the whole matter, but it is felt to be so important and comprehensive in its character, involving so many wide and complicated interests that the committee are reluctant to advise the council to deal with it singly, and recommend the institution of a thorough and searching investi. gation into the whole of the schemes proposed and experimented upon, such investigation to be con. ducted under the sanction either of Parliament or of the Executive. The Report of the Parliamentary Committee was referred to the consideration of the gentlemen comprising the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee of the Common Council, who in their turn referred it to a select number of their body. This select committee hare since devoted much time and attention to the study of the subject, and have invited the co-operation of Lord R. MONTAGU, M.P., and Dr. BRADY, M.P., who, having both oc \ • cupied the post of chairman of the House of Com. mons Committees on the utilisation of sewage, were well qualified to assist their investigations. It ap pears as the result of their inquiries that the avail able sewage of the metropolis contains fertilising matter equivalent to 212,842 tons of Peruvian guano, and would, taking the present price of Peru• vian guano, be worth £2,899,972. Th e c om mittee, after gating thew) remarkable amounts, very natui rHE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVE rally add their opinion, that this vast amount of manure should be so dealt with as to produce the greatest possible relief for the heavily-taxed rate payers of the metropolis, and to secure for the nation the largest addition to the home supplies of food. At Edinburgh the experiment is made, in a mea sure, for the sewage is applied to the soil, but it is given away to the farmers, free of all charge, so that the profit to be derived from its sale at the stan dard price of guano is altogether lost. Even follow ing this method, the populace are indirectly gainers, since £3O per annum is obtained for the grass grown on land not previously worth 2s. 6d. per acre, representing, of course, an immensely in creased value in the produce, and consequent benefit to the consumer; but there is no reason why the utilisation of the metropolitan sewage should not be made to answer both ends, and to lighten the ratepayers of a little of their load. The mode of application followed at Edinburgh is the same as on Mr. LAWES'S grounds at Rugby, where the sewage is poured in large quantities from open carriers over grass exclusively, as much as 20,000 tons per acre being applied annually by the Edin. burgh arrangements, and 6,000 tons by Mr. LAWES. The other plan consists of moderate dressings, applied by hose and jet to all descriptions of crops, and this appears to be by far the most satisfactory, as the excessive application of sewage has been found by Mr SOMES to destroy the finer grasses, and that the grass grown by means of these large dressings is not good for milk, and will not feed bullocks when used alone. On the contrary, from the experiments made by the Earl of ESSE% at Cashiobury, Mr MILES, M.P., near Bristol, and Mr Alderman MECIII at Tiptree Hall, it appears that the more moderate application of sewage by hose and jet produces nothing but bones ficent results. The committee append to their re-. port a very valuable and interesting letter from Baron LIEBIG on the matter, in which that great master of practical chemistry explains very clearly the action of sewage, and shows bow necessary it is to guard against the mistakes which ignorance might commit. He shows how sewage, from its deficiency in certain constituents is apt, after greatly stimu lating the soil, to impoverish it, unless, like stable manure, it contains all the elements neces sary to the soil. Sewage contains ammonia, po tash, and phosphoric acid, but the latter in much smaller proportions, so that in a soil Rhich is rich in phosphoric acid sewage will have a good effect, since the soil itself supplies what is want ting ; but "as in each successive crop a certain quantity of phosphoric acid is abstracted, the total qaantity in the soil is, by continual appli cation of sewage, gradually diminishing every year, and a time must arrive when the phospho ric acid is insufficient for further crops, and sewage ceases to yroduce its former effects." There are therefore two things to be done; first, to make the' fact clearly understood that sewage, if used exclusively, will answer only for the time, and secondly, that for each crop the composition of sewage ought to be corrected according to the nature of the soil. Baron LIEBIG expresses himself most emphatically regarding the benefit to be derived from the proper application of sewage, and it is his earnest conviction of this that makes him so anxious that no blunder in its employ ment should prejudice the former against its use. The course recommended by the committee of the Common Council is undoubtedly the proper one to pursue, for the question is a national one, and should be carried out in a thorough and comprehensive manner, superior to all loeal rejudices or difficulties, and this can only be done by the agency of a duly qualified representative of metropolitan interests. The New Austrian Loan, VIENNA, Nov. 9. The loan opened upon the 2d of May last, in the expectation of obtaining a total of 70,000,000 flea ►ins in silver, not baying been completely issued, Herr von Fierier, the Finance Minister, has now published proposals for a loan of 25,000,000 florins, at 5 per cent. interest, repayable in five yearly in stalments, upon the following terms:— " 1. The loan of 25 millions is opened by way of public subscription, in which any private individual may participate. The subscription will commence upon the 14th of November, and be closed on the 21st of November, 1864, at eight o'clock p.m. The result will be published at latest by the 23d of No vember. If the amount subscribed exceeds the 25 millions, a proportionate reduction will be made in the largest subscriptions. " 2. The loan is issued at the price of 87 florins for a subscription of 100 florins. "3, The scrip to bear the name of the holder for sums of 1,000, 500, and 100f1., and will be furnished with 13 coupons, payable on the Ist of June and the Ist De cember of every year, the first of which will fall due June 1, 1865. " 4. The part-scrip may be used for the payment of all taxes and public contributions not payable in cash, at its full nominal value, i. e., the Ist part after the Ist December, 1866, the second after the Ist December, 1867, the third after the Ist Decem ber, 1868, the fourth after the Ist December,lB69, and the fifth after the Ist December, 1870, pro vided the scrip does not exceed in value the sum to be paid, and has not been due more than one year. Coupons due may also be employed for these pays ments provided they have not been dua more than a year, and after deduction of income tax. Interest:due attaching to the scrip will be reckoned in the total of payment. Interest not yet due must be made up at the Treasury by the holder. "5. The repayment of the loan will be made ac cording to the fall rominal value of the scrip at the General National Debt Fand Office at Vienna, or at branch offices established for the purpose in the various territories belonging to the Crown, in five equal annual payments, viz., 20 per cent. each Ist Jane, 1867, 1868, 1869, 1870, and 1871. Each bond will therefore consist of five portions, each amounting to one-fifth of the whole subscription. Interest will be paid by the same fund as is charged with the repayment of the capital. " 6. The day each part-bond falls due for repay merit, that portion will cease be bear interest The coupons attached to each will show the amoun' of interest chargeable. i , 7. Every person desirous of participating in the loan must give in an unatamped declaration, and make a deposit of 10 per cent. upon the sum sub scribed for. No subscription will be accepted for less than 100 florins. Every subscription above that sum must be divisible by 100, without leaving a remainder." (Sections 8-10 refer to the funds into which the instalments and the deposits are to be paid.) " 11. The payments may be made in cash, in coupons of the National Debt, payable within ten days, or which have not been due more than a year or in part mortgage bonds at nominal value. Bonds of the loan of January 18th, 1861, due December Ist, 1864, may he employed at nominal value for the payment to be made December 3, 1864. " 12. Payments shall be made at the funds where the subscription has been Effected, i❑ five equal parts, at the following dates :-20 per cent , De. cember 3, 1864 ; 20 per cent., January 3, 1865; 20 20 per cent., February 3,1865; 20 per cent., March 3, 1865; and 20 per cent., April 3, 1865. " 13. Payments in advance will be entitled to 5 per cent. interest, reckoned from the actual day of payment until the day when the payment should in ordinary course have been made. " When an instalment is not paid upon falling due the deposit is forfeited to the Treasury, and the subscriber ceases to have any share in the loan. " 15. The Bite of the distribution of the bonds will be published in due course. (Signed) " PLENE,R, Finance Minister. Vienna, November 8, 1864." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE.

He said he did not wish to deliver a speech, but to make some declarations. Before the Convention was concluded General Della Marmora was opposed to it, fearing it would dis turb the already cemented union of the Italian pro vinces, and occasion the renewal of conflicts at home. " This," he said, " I pointed out to M. Drouyn de liuys and the Emperor." The Minister continued : "On returning to Italy I was led, contrary to my intentions, to accept office under a difficult state of things ; then, fiading a treaty signed, I threw aside nll apprehension, and prepared myself to support it in concert with my colleagues. I observed, contrary to my previous impressions, that there was no real danger of discord, no risk of a renewal of disturbances. I saw also that everybody in Italy regarded the engagements of September as serious, and the sentiments manifested by Parlia• ment on the occasion of the recent exchange of de spatches with France prove the loyalty with which the Convention is regarded. We have, therefore, been able to say that the Ministry will have the strength to execute the treaty—strength derived from your union and the moral support of the coun try. The question of the transfer of the capital is a delicate one for me, a Turinese. Turin militarily cannot be th© capital, but the puhl:c mind should have been prepared for the news of its fall. I regret the suspicion which has been cast upon the views of France. I have been able to approach the Emperor several times, and have found tiim disposed ever since 1852 to occupy himself at some time with Italian efflirs. He permitted, notwith standing certain opposition, that Italian affairs should be discussed at the Congress of Paris. You remember Plombferes and the glorious Italian war ? The King having had an interview with the Emperor at Valleggia, the result was that the former only accepted the preliminaries of the peace of Villafranca as far as he himself was concerned. Upon Count Cavour's death the Emperor generously recognised the Kingdom of Italy, thus rendering possible its recognition by the other Powers. In 1862 he s ent his squadron to compli ment the King at Naples. Perhaps the Emperor had once doubts, as some of us have had, of the possibility of Italian unity, but now I am convinced tie thinks our unity irrevocable. We will not take one step backwards ; we will go forward prudently and slowly, but without intermission, The Roman qtestion remains perfectly clear in all men's minds. As regards the mode of solution, it is not undesirable to have time before us. I have great confidence in the Emperor, who has entirely devoted himself to the Roman question. I beave also that he will assist us for Venice; I speak as a private person. Some solution may become possible with respect to Venice. I believe the mind of the Emperor of Austria may be brought to fresh resolutions with this objeot. General Della Marmora said, in conclusion : "I renew the expression of my wish that you should approve the treaty." (Great applause.) Signor Musolino then spoke at great length against the Convention, which ho considered fatal. He proposed to fortify Turin. ITALY. The following is the text of the bill brought into the Italian Chamber of Deputies by the Minister of the Interior in favour of Turin :-- "Art. 1. A consolidated 5 per cent. rente of 767,000 f. shall be inscribed on the Great Book of the Public Debt of the State in favour of the munici• pality of Turin from the Ist of January, 1865. " Art. 2. In case the aforesaid municipality should at his own expense undertake to provide Turin with a considerable water-power, the King's Government shall be authorised to inserit e on the Great Book of the State another 5 per cent. rente, the ncminal vane of which shall be equal to the capital may employed in that work. Nevertheless, the rente to be inscribed shall not exceed 300,000 f." The Mysterious Murder at Sunninghill Park. During the whole of last week Mr Superintendent Ire monger of the Berks Constabulary, has been actively en• gaged in a series of investigations with the object of disco vering, if possible, the actual murderer of Mrs El'zabeth Butler, the poor old woman who was killed in Mr Crutchley's lodge at Sunuinghill Park. Clue after clue has been followed up closely, and the result has been that some most important information has been obtained. No owner has been found at Winkfield for the trammel-net pawned by the prisoner, William Smith, and which is now in the possession of the police. It seems, however, that on the 15th of last month, the day of the murder, a young man named Robert Faulkener, who had driven over from Spital, near Windsor, to Wingfield, with a horse and cart, on his return about 7 o'clock in the evening met in the road at Fern Hill two tramps, a man and a woman, who had with them a dog. The man wore a guernsey, cord trousers, and billycock hat, while the woman was dressed in a dark cotton gown, black shawl, and dirty straw bonnet ; this description thus tallying with that of the tramp wh o has been apprehended, and the wo m an who was seen in his company near Marlow, The tramps asked Faulkener—who was afraid to refuse them—to give them a lift along the road, and he accordingly drove them as far as the model cottages, just outside the entrance to Windsor Park, whore they got out and left him. On Thursday last Mr Superin tendent Iremonger proceeded to Hollyport, on the Windsor road, and ascertained from a labouring man named C r itcher, that about a f ortn i g ht previous, while stand ing near "the big elm," t w o tramps, a man and a woman , passed by ; the wom an appeare d to be quarrelling with the man, and as they went along the female exclaimed. "You villain I you murdered that old woman." Critcher further stated that Mr Wallis, a market gardener in the neigh bourhood, was present at the time, and could corrobo rate his statement, and en Mr Wallis being asked about the affair it was found to be correct. Here, then, was another link in the chain of evidence, but a greater surprise awaited the superintendent, for on his return home in the evening he received information to the effect that on the day after the apprehension of Thomas Guest and William Smith ( , he two tramps new confined in Aylesbury Gaol) a suit of clothes tied up in a bundle had been found in the hedge bounding the adjoining field to that containing the hay ricks or, Mr Creswell's farm, Great Marlow, where the tramps had slept the night before they were taken by tLe police. The men were ploughing at the time of the die cowry of the clothes, and as it was thought that they might be full of vermin they were thrown on the land and covered with the furrows. It will be remembered that the rick and field had been searched by the police for the stick, which was not to be found, and it seems strange that such an important fact as the finding a suit of clothes close to where the two men had slept was not communicated at once to the superintendent. Such, however, was the case, but no time was to be lost. Mr Creeswell, on being in formed of the importance attached to the obtaining these clothes, at once consented to the field being searched, and men were set at work to find them, and probably by this time they may be in the hands of the police. In the mean time, a reward of £lOO has been offered by her Majesty's Government to any person who will give such information as will lead to the apprehension of the guilty parties, and the Secretary of State will advise the grant of her Majesty's pardon to any accomplice not the actual murderer, The Mur Marshes, RE-EXAMINATION OF THE ACCUSED. On Saturday the prisoner, Ferdinand Edward Karl Kohl, was brought up before John Gurney Fry, Esq., and a full bench of magistrates, when several witnesses were called whose examinations had been previously taken,either at the inquest or at Stratford police-court. Joseph Gurstcn identified the deceased's boots, which were muddy up to the ankles. Inspector Goode, of the Thames police, who, with a man named Jones, found the murdered man's head in a rat hole, added that when he saw the place where the head was buried it looked as if it had been pressed down with the feet to make it look the same as the rest. Henry Z ulch said he had identified deceased's head before the coroner, and on the day he was missing prisoner came to his house about twelve or half-past, and told him ho had been up to London with deceased and asked him to wait, and when he came out of tho sugar_houss, where he went for work, he was gone. Deceased slept at witness's house after he left Mrs Warren's, but hed his meals at Kohl's. Henry Lees, the witness who saw the accused and de ceased walking together on the day he was missed,along the river bank near where the body was found, in answer to a question by the prisoner, said he was positive it was the deceased man he saw walking with Lim, and not the pri soner's cousin " Bill," Wm. Hudson also corroborated Lee's evidence as to seeing deceased and prisoner between 10 and a quirter past 10 on Thursday, the 3cl inst., walking along the river wall between the Oil IN orks and where the body was found. They passed him, deceased walking on the right side of the prisoner. He knew them from seeing them twice in the mar.hes, where he had been at work for the previous ten days. He particu• laxly noticed them, because he heard them speaking in a language he did not understand. Mary Ann Wade, a lodger in Kohl's house, proved see ing Kohl and deceased go out together about half past 9 on the Thursday morning. Kohl came home by himself about one, and his clothes being all mud she said to him, "Good gracious, Charley, whe►e have 3ou been to in the mud 2" He made no reply, but went into the yard and brushed it off. The back of his coat, his elbows, and his trousers were .all in a mess with mud. He went out, and returned about half-past three, when he said he was going to Germany. Did not observe any particular difference in Kohl's appearance till the evening, when ho looked pale, and his eyes sunk in his head. When asked if he was going to Germany he said, " Yes, and if John (deceased) was not home in two hours he should break his boxes open." They had proposed to go together, and Kohl's wife remarked, "If you wait two hours you will be too late for the ship." She had Leen getting ready to go all day. Was in the habit of lending Kohl her chopper, and fetched it out of his kitchen on Friday morn ing, the 4th inst., and then she found that it had been painted red at the upper end where the handle fits in. The chopper was produced; it is a hammer and hatchet, and a formidable weapon. Eliza Whitmore said—l live at No 4, Hoy-Street, and on Thursday, the 8d ins*., I saw 4te prisoner and the young German go out together aboui half-past nine. Kohl came home about one o'clock by himself. The Chairman—Did you see him come in ? Witness—No. I saw him brushing his coat in the garden, He went out again shortly after one, and I went downstairs and saw his wife, and said, " Kohl has missed John ; it is very strange that should be, as you were all going to Ger many together," She said, " It is.", Kohl came:in a little before three, and I asked him if he had found John, and he said no. I asked him if he meant .o go to Germany if John did not come back, and I said I thought he meant to give him the slip, because he had no money, but Kohl said, " 0 yes he had, because I saw £1 lOs in his hand this morfaing ; as we were going along he showed it to me." I asked him again if he meant to go to Germany, and he said yes; and if John is not back in two hours I will open his boxes." His wife said if they waited so long the) would be too late. Kohl took a small poker from the kitchen and went upstairs. He said to some one come up and see. Kohl's wife's cousin went up, and when he (the prisoner) came down again he said "John will never come back, as all his thinks are gone." Kuhl went out again, and did not come back again 11 five o'clock, and he then looked very bad. Mr Superintendent Howie said that he did not propose to offer any further evidence at present, and would there fore ask for a remand. The prisoner, who did not seem to understand one-half of the proceedings, but who questioned the witnesses with some degree of shrewdness, was then removed, the inquiry having lasted upwards of four hours. FURTHER AND LATEST PARTICULARS. On Saturday morning Mr Superintendent Howie, of the K division, and the other officers engaged in the case made further inquiry, and have discovered the name of the pawn broker who received the deceased's clothes after the murder, and the garments will be produced at the adjourned inquest on Thursday evening next. A number of constables proceeded to the reed field and made further search, but uothirg additional could be found. Sergeant Clarke, of the detective force, when he found the chopper which was produced before the Ilford magistrates, discovered that a new handle had been recently placed in the iron part, and the wooden handle found in the teed field by Sergeant Bridgland, 65 K, on Thursday, was the original one, which has since been identified by Mrs Warren, the landlady. The police have also ascertained the place where the red paint was purchased, and from information given to the officers late on Saturday evening, evidence will be adduced to show that the prisoner pledged the missing clothes of the deceased, and some articles of jewellery belonging to the deceased• Tho key belonging to the de ceased's boxes has been discovered by Sergeant Clarke, and the duplicates have likewise been found. Yesterday (Sunday) morning several thousand persons visited the scene of the murder, and a considerable number proceed from the metropolis in carts and other vehicles to the river side, where the polioo woro engaged in soarching the mud and hank of the Thames at low water. The traffic through the field was so great yesterday that the lofty reeds were trodden down and hundreds carried away by the per sons visiting the place. A great number of persons visited the Bell and Anchor Tavern yesterday and made application to see the body of the murdered man, but Mr Joyce, the landlord, refused, as the police had given strict orders for the body to be kept locked up. After the completion of the post-mortem exa mination on Friday evening the stomach and intestines were sealed up for analysis by order of the coroner (Mr C. C. Lewis). The clothes worn by the deceased and the accused (Kohl) have been forwarded to Dr Letheby, the profs-sor of chemistry of the London Hospital, who has been instructed to analyse the marks and stains. At the conclusion of the examination of the prisoner on Saturday afternoon, at the Sessions-house, Ilford, the pri soner asked permission to see his wife, which was granted by the chairman o; the bench of magistrates. He was re moved from the dock by Inspector Nightingale into one of the rooms of the gaol, where his wife was introduced to him. The meeting was a very brief on©, and, after a few minutes' conversation, he shook hands and parted with her in tears. It was stated that the prisoner desired several witnesses to be summoned by the police for the defence, and be gave instructions for the engagement of a solicitor. On Saturday morning several artists were engaged in making sketches of the road, field, and adjacent parts by the aide of the Thames. The Murder at Boulogne. The Impartial de Boulogne gives additional particulars respecting the above crime in its number of Saturday last. It seems that the accused Leducq persisted until Thursday afternoon in the story he at first told. viz., that the two children did not belong to him ; that they had been entrusted to him by a woman at Folkestone to deliver to some one who would be in waiting for them at Boulogne; and that upon meeting in the latter place with a person who claimed them, he had given them up. On the day referred to, how ever, ho was visited at the House of Detention by M. Ouzouf, the commissary of police. A photograph of the two child ren found drowned had been taken, and during M. Ouzout's visit it was accidentally seen by Leducq. "At the sight of this photograph," says the Impartial de Boulogne he turned pale, and became excited in the most extraordi nary manner; tears flowed down his cheeks, and he ex claimed, My poor children l' A few minutes afterwards he made a more explicit confession, but which is still in complete. The following is a summary of his declarations, according to information which we have every reason to believe correct :—Leducq resided at 4, Biggin-street, Dover. His mistress, who was of English origin, was named Anne Campbell, and was 32 years of age. He had by her the two children drowned; the elder, Henry, was born in January, 1830, and was therefore nearly five years old; his robust constitution alone induced the belief that he was older. The other, Arthur, was born on the Bth Oct., 1861 ; he had only just attained his third year. Leducq had been without a situation for about two or three months ; his concubine kept a greengrocer's shop,:but she is said to have led an irregular life, and had abandoned the two children exclusively to his charge. He was plunged in the deepest misery, and did not know where to get bread. There is no doubt that he was recently unfortunate at Dover; pawnbrokers' tickets for men's and women's clothing pledged in the town wero found upon him ; the most recent was dated the s!la November. At that date he received 15s for a pledge. Unable to procure work, ho resolved to quit England with his children, bat he had no intention of destroying them at that period, He left Dover on Sunday. An enzplosfe of the South Eastern per fectly recollects seeing him walking on the quay at Folkestone with his two children; he appeared very much absorbed. Having landed at Boulogne at half• past 4, he remained about an hour and a half in the baggage room, and even pl ced his children near the fire, as they com plained of cold. When he left ho asked himself what he should do. Should he abandon them in the street ? Or should he get rid of them and perish with them ? He re solved that it would be better to put them and himself out of misery. With this view he crossed the bridge, walked along the quay, and then entered the road leading to the cement works. There he placed the carpetbag and the box which he carried upon the ground, seized the children by the waist with each hand, and threw himself into the stream with them; but ho had not the courage to remain there, gut out, and went away. Such is said to be the substance of Leducq's conic:mien." Death loch, The death of Mr M'Culloch on Friday last is the loss of a valuable public servant and a distin guished man of letters. He had been for some time past subject to attacks on the chest of a dangerous tendency, and his last seizure a few days since provad fatal. From its commencement he gradually declined in strength, but retained all his faculties till his last moments. Mr M'Culloch was born in Wigtonshire on the tat of March, 1789, and he was, therefore, in his 76th year. His father possessed a small freehold estate in that county, and was of the class of small pro prietors in the English border counties denominated "statesmen"—cultivators of their own acres. The eon received from his maternal grandfather, a Scotch minister, his early education ; that is, he was "grounded" in his mother tongue, with some ele mentary instruction in the dead languages after the then Scotch fashion. On leaving school Mr M'Culloch was placed in the office of a writer to the Signet, but he did not pursue the profession of the law. He settled in Edinburgh and at tended the public clasces of the University for two years, but did not graduate or study for any profession. Early in 1817 an accidental corn. munication of Mr M'Culloc'i's to the Scotsman (then first established) led to his connection with that journal, and for some time he was the editor. In the following year he commenced a series of contributions to the _Ediniurgh Review, and also gave lectures on political economy. In 1820 Mr. M'Culloch quitted Edinburgh for London, con■ tinning his contributions to the Scotsman for some years, but contributing also to other periodical works and giving lectures on political economy. In 1828 he was appointed professor of that science in Uni veisity College, London ; but the chair being unen• dowsed, the number of students attending his lec• tures was insufficient for his remuneration, and he resigned the professorship. In 1838 the Whig Go• vernment appointed him Controller of the London Stationezy-office, at a salary of £l,OOO per annum, and he continued the head of this department till his death. When he undertook its administration the Stationery office was an Augean stable. The long and habitual waste of paper in the con- sumption of the public offices and in printing was fabulous. Mr M'Culloch accomplished a large annual saving, far exceeding the cost of the depart• ment he presided over. By his stern economy and hatred of "jobs" he of course created enemies ; but his judicious savings and integrity were undisputed. and are matters of record in Parliamentary reports and returns. Mr M'Culloch's more lasting and meritorious re• putation,howevcr,was gained by his literary labours. They were the result of forty years of study and experience. Statesmen had attended his lectures in London, and his contributions to periodical works had been various and diffuse, But he now began to realise his acquirements. In 1837 Mr Charles Knight published, in two Svo volumes, his" Statists tical Account of the British Empire." This valuable work was suLsequently republished by Messrs Long man in successive editions much enlarged. The latter publishers brought out his " Dictionary of Commerce and Commercial Navigation"—a standard work annually reprinted and revised. These two works may be considered his staple productions, and they were reprinted in the United States and translated in several European countries. His mis- cellaneous works were numerous, and all more or less valuable contributions to political and econo- mical science. In 1828 he edited for Messrs Long. man, in four vols. Bw, the best edition of Smith's " Wealth of Nations," with a life of the author, an introductory discourse, notes, and supplemental dissertations. In 1853 he published a volume of " Treatises and Essays on Economical I'o- !icy," comprising sketches of Quesnay, Adam Smith, and Ricardo. This work was partly a republication of articles contributed by the author to the " Encycloi lia Britannica," but all were carefully revised and in part re written, some essays appearing for the first time. In the same year appeared his volume on the " Principles of Political Economy," lastly corrected and revised. In 1855 he published his treatis 3on the "Principles and Practical Influence of Taxation and the Funding System." In 1855 he also published a valuable work on the " Succession to Property vacant by Death ; including inquiries into the in. fluency of primogeniture, entails, and compulsory partition upon the public interests." Mr M'Culloch collected a library on his own special subjects of groat value. It contained not only almost every known English work on political economy and statistics, but every foreign publication on those subjects, and it comprised every pamphlet, known or anonymous. In 1855 he published a bibliographical volume on the literature of political economy, a catalogue of his best books, with histo rical, critical, and biographical notices; and only two years since he completed and privately printed a more extended and valuable catalogue raisonne. Of the latter volume a very few copies were pre sented to personal and literary friends. The motto on the title-page of this volume was from Barrow : "The reading of books, what is it - but conversing with the wisest men of all ages and all countries, who thereby communicate to us their most delibe rate thoughts, choicest notions, and best inventions, couched in good expression, and digested in exact method ? ' The genius of Mr M'Culloch was not inventive. He sifted and recast the labours of others. Statistics rather than the principles of political economy wen his forts: but his worYs were generally lucid and sound. He occasionally indulged in paradox, but in this error he only followed Malthus, Whately, and Senior. There are unsolved problems in poli tical science, and men of genius in advance of their generation, groping in the dark, must sometimes lose their way. Mr M'Culloch was an original mem bn. of the Political Economy Club. and he assisted Lord Overstcne in the publication of his lordship's miscellaneous tracts on political economy. In social life he was hospitable, genial, and warm-hearted, and he was estcemed by a large circle of friends who will deeply lament his loss. "We regret to have to announce the death," says the Malta Observer," on the 29th October, of Mgr. Publio de Conti Sant, late Archbishop of Rhodes and Bishop of Malta, at the age of 85. Ile was created Bishop of Larada in partibus in the year 1818, and on the death of Mgr. Caruana in 1847 was raised to the highest ecclesiastical post in Malta, which he continued to occupy until 1857, when he retired into private life. The late prelate was greatly beloved by his flock for his Christian piety, and his death has cast a deep gloom over the city." TILE CON EDERATE PRISONERS IN. CANADA.—Mr G. N. Sanders, the well known Confederate agent, writes to the Montreal Evening Herald, stating that " So soon as the fast of Young's demonstration upon Vermont shall be known at Richmond, there is no doubt that that Govern ment will take immediate steps to make their responsibility and approval of the enterprise publicly and officially known, and will assuredly communicate the fact of their responsi bility and of their approval to the Canadian and United States authorities." SPAIN AND PERU.—The Epoca says—" In order to remove the doubts raised by the conduct of Senor Barreda, Minister in Peru, we now state, upon excellent information, that the fact of Senor Barreda not having earlier arrived in Spain arises from the instructions of his government to effect an arrangement, if possible, and to sign a treaty at London or Paris with the Spanish representatives at those Courts, which would afterwards be submitted to the Spanish Government. To this end he would solicit the good offices of the English and French Cabinets. The Spanish Govern ment has naturally made it the first of all conditions for an honourable and acceptable settlement of the pending diffi culty that the Peturian representative should come to Madrid.'' It is reported that Mr. Vining's tenure of the Princess's Theatre will shortly expire. Rumour says that among the conditions of the agreement under which Mr Vining holds the theatre from Mr Webster, the leaseholder, was a stipulation that no play by Mr Boucicault should be acted. This was brotsen by the production of " The Streets of London," and Mr Webster claims the penalty, and Mr Vining has to leave.
