MURDER OF A YOUNG _WOMAN.

The Court of Assizes in Henan, in Hesse Cassel, hits •
just tten oectipied with a trial for murder, which excited
considerable interest iri the neighbourhecal. The dead
body of a young woman, frightfully mutilated by stabs
from a knife, was found in April of last year, in a lonely -
spot near the Rhine. Though one of her stockings bore
the name of Emilia Lotheisen, it was some time before
the police could discover who she was; but at last they
ascertained that such was 'her real 'name, that she was
born in New York, of German parents, but that after
their death she had arrived in Gqrmany, bringing with
her a sum of 8,000 thalers (72,000 f.), which they had
left her. She lived 'in the village of Aistern, working
as a diessniaker: As she wits extremely avaricious, she
avas accustomed to tarry her- little fortune, which she.
had invested in tail Way Shares arid other securities, con-
stantly about her ; and as these gectirities were not found
on her corpse, there was no doribt ill& she had beet!
murdered for the sake of robbery. >tltit Wird the nun:
derer Was, there was rle4:lling
to show. In the Mcnith
following the crime a box arrives
the railway station
at Homburg, addressed to a M. Nolte ; bnb no person
of that name was known in the place; and it was !Z.!"
ellalined. It remained there until March last, when it
was then Opened, anti it Was found to contain, among
a quantity of mart's wearing apparel, some female gar-
ments, bearing the name of Emilia Lotheisert. This
,naturally led to suspicion that Nolte- might be the
onurderer; but where he was could not be diseovered.
Things continued inthis state until the sth of June last;
when a man, passing by the name of Ziiiimermann, was
arrested at Nanheim, near Hainan, for having struck a
young officer of the army, with whom he had had a
dispute about a game of billiards. His lodgings were
visited,, and in them were found some railway shares,
and other securities; btaring the inscription "E. L.,
Alatean," the initials of thearnuYdered fetirale, and the
name of the place in which she had Moreover;
near the corpse a button, of a peculiar MAO, had. been
picked up, and in Zimmermann's lodgings via's' a' Coat
with similar ones. At first he pretended he' teti6A;
nothing whatever of Emilia Lotheisen ; but at lasC 53
' confessed that she had been his mistress, and that he
had murdered her in order to appropriate her property.
He further admitted that his name wee' not Zimmer-
mann, but Nolte. The man turned out.to belong to a
respectable family, and it was ascertained also that he
had been at one time rather wealthy, and highly dis-
tinguished as an agriculturist ; but he had ruined him-
self by agricultural experiments, and by making costly
machines. He had, it appeared, conceived the project
of re-establishing his fortune by a wealthy marriage ;
and, at the time he murdered the woman, had the
chance of obtainining the hand of a widow who
possessed upwards of 30,000 f. a year. During the trial
the man sat motionless, and said not a word. He wag
' deslared guilty, and condemned to be beheaded with a
sword. When the sentence was pronounced he asked;'
" Is it finished now ?" and walked calmly away.

THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND THE

NEW ACT.

The United Committee of &legates of the
Licensed ViCtuallers of England have issued theft'
report on the proceedings-. taken. upon the'
announcement of the' Chancellor of the Exche--
quer's Budget of 1860, and the introductioAl Ofi
the Refreshment Houses and Wine Licenses Bin!
consetident thereon: This report gives a full -his-
tory of the' various steps taken by the committee
for the amendment, when defeat seemed impossi-
ble, of the obnoxious Bill. They appear to have
been both watchful and vigilant, and to have suc-
ceeded materially in protecting the menaced
interests of the trade. The delegate from Liver-
pool was Mr. John Atkinson.. The report con-
cludes :

"Tour committee beg that it may always bs borne in
mind, when considering the late- important movement,
that the form in which the question of the wine, licenses
was brought before the house was one of great com-
plexity. It formed part of a highly popular budget;
it was introduced by a speech of unexampled power ; it
was mixed up with unobjectionable and 'even popular
topics, and so interwoven with them as -almost to defy
separation. Considering all these things, the wonder
is not that the opposition of the trade did not succeed in
defeating the bill, but that it was enabled to command
such a large amount of support.'

"What effect the new Act will produce upon the
trade, or upon the public, your committee will not.
venture to predict time and experience will alone
prove. In consequence, however, of the numerous
amendments introduced, its effect on the trade will be
much less injurious than was anticipated ; but, in the
watchful keeping of the Protection Society of London,
and the other local associations of a similar character,
the interests of the. Licensed Victuallers will be safe
from all illegal interference.
" Your committee regret that their endeavours have
not been so _successfuL as_they once hoped; but, while
making this acknowledgment, they feel that they have
not laboured in vain.

By this movement of the trade much has been done. •
—the public has been spared the annoyance of licensed
night-houses. The non-consuming clause has been
limited by restricting the sale to pint bottles. The
veto of the commissioners of police and of the police
magistrates has been abandoned, and that of the,
licensing justices has been substituted. All the new.
wine-houses are to be closed at uniform hours, and
always at the same hours that beershops are to be -
closed—viz., twelve o'clock p.m. in London, and eleven
in the provinces; anti, to crown the whole, the assistance •
of the police has been secured to the licensed victualler
in cases of disorder, and. disorderly persons are made •
liable to penalties. These are :direct benefits. But,
besides these, the -trade has obtained indirect advantagei
in the communications that have.takenplaceletWeen your
committee .and• members of butla housesof: Parliament,:
by which theit rights are better funderstood;.: many
unfounded prejudices have been-. dispelled, and the:
justice of their claims-: tv the.- fair:ieonsideration Of the:- '
Legislature has been reteguised.--- :henceforth- ne,pa•-• ' •
vernment will venture; to-ireat.thn Licensed- Victuallers
of England as an unimportant: class : and.:,if:they only
maintain their organisation. and: act With the reason-
ableness which has hithertn.vheracterised them, they
will always secure the regard and attention which their •
numbers and the extent of their property entitles them-, •
to expect. Changes of ministry and of parties may con,••
spire, with the course of events, to dissipate the. unto- ':•
ward influences which for the time have renrlerect.the •
labours of your committee partially unavailirq,- and to :I
afford another illuStration of the truth; that. no cause
founded in justice and sound policy can ever. fail per--
manently. to recommend itself to the acceptance of the
intelligence and public spirit of the country." •

The amount of money remitted by settlers in North -
America to their friends in the United Kingdom front
1848 to 1859, both inclusive, was £10,985,153 . the •
largest amount was remitted in 1854, and the smallest
in 1848.
THE COVENTRY RIBBON WEAVERS.—The city con-
tinues to feel great anxiety and uncertainty, arising out
of the difference between the manufacturers and their •
•
workpeople. Great distress prevails anion the poor -
weavers, and numerous instances ,night be cited of
women and children suffering the utmost pangs of want
and hunger. A case is given on creditable testimony of
a famishing mother removing some "pluck " from a
butcher's stall, and when pursued by the tradesman, in
companywith a policeman, she was found with her
children.the meat in its raw state. The butcher,
eating
however, was too much affected by the wretchedness of,
the scene and the famished children to giN a the mother
into the custody of the policeman, but gave her some
pecuniary assistance. The board of guardians is unable
to afford relief to the large number of applicants who
come before them, and a committee has be en appointed. •
for the management of a relief fund. Sir .1 oseph Paxton
has just sent a cheque of £5O, and tha Right Hon.
Edward Ellice, M.P., a similar amount.

NEW INVENTION.—Tru NEW FOUNTAIN P71,;.---A greater
annoyance e than a bad steel pen can hardlY-b suet with—the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the vo cent improve-
ments the new " fountain poi," just introduced by Budhall
and Co., is the best we have ever seen, By a sin iple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fount; sir, by means of •
a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barrel
can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be, kept perfeetTy.
clean without any chance of being corroded. as other feature
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last fru- five Minutes'
quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and
in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every: place; it will
be found to fill a want felt by every one tip to time. We
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us bylir E.T. Hall,:
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfe ct, and we are
sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its l'airour.
