THE MURDER IN THE HAYMARKET.
CAPTURE OF THE ASSASSIN.

The prisoner was taken on Saturday morning on board
a clipper bark, called the Pride of the Thames, bound
for Monte Video, and Buenos Ayres, and brought to
London. The ship had already dropped down the river,
and was at anchor off Greenhithe taking in gunpowder.
The murderer at the moment of his arrest was at
breakfast with seven or eight other passengers, and the
police in examining his baggage discovered a portrait,
brooch, and some other articles belonging to the de-
ceased, Helouise Thaubin. It had been previously
ascertained by the officers that lie had for some weeks
been regularly living at • respectable private hotel in
Finsbury Square, where he resided uninterruptedly
until the night of the murder, the 23rd ult. When
brought to London the prisoner was conveyed directly
to Vine-street police station, where shortly afterwiuds
witnesses from the house in Arrundel Court arrived,
who on being confronted with him immediately, and in
the most positive manner, identified him as the man
who had passed the night with the unfortunate de-
ceased. The prisoner, whose name is Lani, • remark-
ably fine young man, an Hearin, 21 years of age, quietly
observed in Italian, "Yes, I was there; I did Bleep
with Madame." He appears to have paid 1:30 in gold
for his passage to Monte Video and Buenos Ayres; but
the only cash found upon his person was 2a. 6d. and
lid. in copper, and none was discovered in his boxes.
It also transpired that the prisoner had handed to the
Captain a quantity of the deceased woman's apparel,
requesting him to take care of it for him, as be had no
room for the things in his own boxes. A coroner's in-
quest was held on the body on Saturday, when no facts
of importance transpired in addition to those already
made public. The inquiry was adjourned.

ATTEMPTED ABSASSISTATION OF THE EMPEROR OF
THE FRENCH.—Orsini, Rudio, and Pierri have been
found guilty and sentenced to death; Gomez was sen-
tenced to penal servitude for life. Speaking of this re-
sult, the Times of yesterday says :—" The condemnation
and sentence of the Italian assassins at Paris seems to
pass as a matter of course and • very small affair.
They are indeed a very small affair, not only compared
with the actual amount of bloodshed inflicted by the
attempt and the probable calamities of an outbreak,
had success really led to one, but compared, too, with
the misery and recklessness of the criminals themselves,
Therein is the true lesson of this story. It is not in the
solemn tribunal and the momentary axe; it is not in any
conventional stigma that may be affixed to an offence
against law, or in the fact that these men, who lately
enjoyed as much liberty—indeed more than most of us
—will soon be headless cornea. The lesson rather
consists in the revelation of a manner of life, a state of
feeling, a condition of existence, which only need to be
exposed to be detested and shunned."
