ON Thursday WILLIAM ROBERT TAYLOR and
his wife were tried at the Liverpool Assizes for the
murder of Mr. EvAN Mauna, at Manchester, on
the 16th of May last. After hearing the evidence
and deliberating for a short time, the jury
acquitted the wife but found the male prisoner
guilty, and he accordingly now awaits the execu-
tions of the extreme sentence of the law.
Although more than three months have elapsed since
its commission, TAYLOR'S crime was of so peculiar
and startling a character and excited such a deep
impression throughout the country that it will be
still fresh in the memory of most readers. The
facts connected with it lie in a narrow compass,
and are of the most terrible and affecting kind.
It would be impossible for any advocate to exagge•
rate the appalling moral features of the tragedy,
and difficult for any jury to hesitate even
for a moment as to its legal significance.
The crime was committed in the open
day, in a public place, in the presence of wit-
nesses, and the perpetrator of it, so far from
attempting concealment or escape, was heard to
exult in the accomplishment of his purpose. It
was murder of the most deliberate and deter-
mined kind. The motive of the act was not only
equally clear, but was announced by the murderer
with the same kind of fixed indifference to every-
thing beyond the satisfaction of the fatal passion
that possessed him. TAYLOR believed himself and
his family to have received certain injuries at the
hands of his victim, and he evidently brooded
over these injuries till his whole life became
absorbed in a desperate and insatiable thirst for
revenge. The strength of this passion may be
estimated by its terrible effects. It led the mise-
rable man, in the first instance, to snake instru-
ments and victims of the dearest objects of
natural affection, his own children, towards whom
he seems to have cherished a strong attachment.
Indeed, the savage passions of hatred and re-
venge seem from the very first to have
worked through the one feeling, that was
perhaps the strongest and the best in his
nature, his love for his children, and thus
to have poisoned the very springs of action. The
original ground of difference between himself and
his victim was an accident that occurred in the
kitchen of TAYLOR'S house, the bursting of the
boiler, which unhappily killed his eldest child.
This accident TAYLOR attributed to the negligence
of Mr. Mauna, to whom, as agent for the pro-
prietor of the house, he had complained that the
boiler was out of repair and in a dangerous state.
A very bitter feeling towards the agent was thus
engendered in the wretched man's mind, and it
was intensified by other causes of difference that
arose afterwards, until at length this vindictive
feeling gained a complete mastery, and he attri-
buted all his misfortunes to the object of his hatred.
He was unfortunate in business, and as a distress
was put into the house to recover the rent,
he attributed his failure in trade to Mr. MELLER.
He had pawned everything, and his children were
without food. He seems to have shortened
their sufferings by his own hand, and laid their
death at the door of his victim. Henceforth he
only lived for one object, to avenge himself on the
man who in his blind desperation be regarded as
the author of the calamities that had overtaken
himself and his family. It is needless to examine
the diabolical sophistry by which be evidently jus-
tified to himself his wicked and revolting purpose,
or to dwell on the violent and relentless manner
in which it was carried out. To gratify a savage
passion he determined to take the law into his own
hands, and such a resolve is the very essence of all
criminality. It is to restrain such violent and fatal
impulses that laws were made, and TAYLOR will
righteously atone for his awful crime upon the
scaffold.

It is easy to perceive that the dispersion of the
clouds which seemed to threaten a storm in the
East is an accepted fact here. However prudent
politicians may rejoice at the " interruption " of
the Constantinople conferences, it is disappointing
to the hopes of the catholic party, and, perhaps,
slightly irritating to the national vanity. The
Dibats gives the two despatches of the Prince of
Servia and Earl Russell, and briefly says his lord-
ship's answer is couched in "the hardest terms."
The Pays makes no comment whatever upon them,
merely directing the attention of its readers to the
document. The Tempe says the representatives of
France and Russia, after having remonstrated ener-
getically against the introduction into the fortress
of Belgrade of the reinforcements which had so
irritated the Servians, counselled moderation and
patience to the Prince of Servia. It adds that, as
' to the Prince of Montenegro, be has appareutly
received and followed similar advice. The Prune
says, speaking of Lord Russell's despatch, that
"the attitude taken by the English government in
the East is characterised in that despatch in terms
exceedingly trenchant, and of such a nature that
it seems there will be great difficulty in arriving at
a friendly arrangement for the present."
I utterly refuse to believe either in civil war in
Italy, or in a mad attack by Garibaldi upon the
French troops, until facts shall have placed one or
other of these terrible contingencies beyond doubt.
The Italian government may send 60,000 or 100,000
soldiers to Sicily, place the island in a state of
siege, suspend the liberty of its press, but of what
use will these measures be, if Garibaldi effect his
temp to the mainland, and raise his standard in
Calabria, where wo are told the English General
Dunne is organising a force for him ? Again, what
can be expected of the royal troops, when
we learn that already between 600 and 700
of their officers have declared they will
throw up their commissions rather than fight
Garibaldi I Even, therefore, supposing the Italian
government to be in earnest in
.the position it
appears to have taken up, and supposing that
the Cialdinis, the La Marmoras, Cugias, and
the Mellas are really trying to put down the
" insurrection," and, in short, that the entire per-
formance of the Italian authorities is not the
solemn farce it is somehow or another suspected to
be, still it becomes a matter of very great doubt
whether that effective opposition to Garibaldi
can be enforced which will be necessary to consti-
tute a state of civil war. Who shall say, in fact,
that we may not ere long hear of the whole country
declaring itself to be of Garibaldi's mind? Then as
to the possibility of an euoounter between Italian
volunteers and French troops, I meet no calmly
judging politician who admits it. Such men feel
convinced that the Emperor will himself provide
against a contingency so fraught with immeasurable
danger. As to the issue of the mere physical en-
counter, it, of course, does not admit a moment's
doubt. The fiery and undisciplined Italians
would simply go down in heaps before the rifles
of the Chaaseurs and the bayonets of the Zouaves.
Maio apris I It is the political consequences that
are to be dreaded—and these are doubtless• of a
character to make the Emperor reflect well ere he
faces them. The Cetutitutionnel deals with this

THE LATE PRIMATE OF IRELAND.—In compli-
ance with a request, numerously signed, the Venerable
the Arehdeeem of Armagh convened a meeting of the
clergy on Thursday, to consider the best memo of testifying
their respect and reverence for the character of the late
beloved and venerated primate. It mu proposed, and
appeared to be the unanimous feeling of the meeting, that
a permanent monument of statuary should be erected ;
but it was stated that the primate bad expressed a wish
that his family should erect that form of testimonial.
The clergy were, therefore, obliged to seek out some other
form of expressing their esteem fur hie lordship, end a com-
mittee was appointed to communicate with the family, and
detennioe the character of the clerical testimonial.
MONUMENT TO RICHARD Oenn.sa.—There has
just been erected in Woodhouse Churchyard, Huddersfield.

memorial is of Gothic design. and from a bees of 3 feet 6
inches rose to a height of 14 feet. It le decorated with
deep moulded panels, with richly carved 'padre* crocketa,
and Apia's. This memorial to the factory king has been
rained almost entirely by the contributions of the working
classes, collected by a committee of working men.— York-

THE LATE ATTEMPT TO SCALE THE MATTERHORN.
—Mr. Whymper, father of the Alpine climber, kindly sup-
plies us, in the absence of his son, with • few further par-
ticulars respecting his accideot on the Matterhorn. It ap-
pears that previous to the accident the mountaineer had
made two attempts, with guides, to ascend, and had fixed
his taut at an elevation of nearly 12,000 feet. It was
in one of his trial excursions from this point to try and
find some higher ledge on which to sleep, that the
accident befel him. Up to this height the ground
was pretty familiar to him, as he had traversed it
no leis than eight times. We may now use his own graphic
words :—" I found • sleeping-place about 300 feet higher,
and came quickly down. In passing the tent I left every-
thing behind that I could, including my axe. The Col
was passed in safety : but on turuing • corner of the
precipice, to my right, I found that two days sun had
nearly destroyed some steps in the ice which I hail cut
the day before. The position was awkward : a long
slope of ice, as smooth as glass, led away below
me; a precipice literally perpendicular rose above;
the route lay along the junctiuu of the two on the top edge
of the slope. Time forbad my returning for the axe, so
I commenced with my loft hand to dig the steps afresh
with the point of my Eaton, holding to a cranny with
my right. I bad nearly fiuished, when, on stepping down-
wards, my foot slipped. Down I went like lightning -
in a moment my baton was dashed from my hand, and
my knapsack brought my head down first ; some rocks
peeped out twenty feet down, and into these I fell. It
was now, not sliding, but flying absolutely head
over heels. I fell 193 feet io five or six bounds—striking
my head four times. The last bound must have been fully
60 feet ; it took me right across the gully, into some jagged
rocks. I clutched at them with all my might, and, after
sliding • little further, happily stooped myself. Had I
fallen ten feet lower, I should have allot over a precipice
of at least 800 feet. Mr. Whymper's wounds, as we said
last week, though numerous, were superficial. The apph.
cation of snow partially stopped the bleeding. -51 r.
Whymper is of opinion that the Matterhorn is inaccessible
to mere arms and legs. Professor Tyndall took • ladder,
but even with this aid it was found impossible to conquer
the last precipices.—Atliewrieni.
Jaßtisatrat.—The Juarnut deSt. Peterabourg gives
the following details respecting the works now in course of
execution in demotion' and Palestine, under the auspices of
the Russian government. A pace of ground outside the
walls, oa the Meidsn, belonging to Russia, and containing
nearly 16,000 square yards, has been enclosed by a stone
wall, several houses erected in it, and four tanks constructed
for • supply of water. The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity
is ready to receive its cupolas ; and • bane house for the
Russian ecclesiastical mission has been nearly completed;
an hospital to receive 60 beds has reached the first floor ; the
next story will be finished during the year, and the
foundations are laid for an asylum capable of receiving 300
male pilgrims. Inside the city, the ground belonging to
Russia, near the Holy Sepulchre, has been cleared Of
the rubbish which covered it to the height of 35 feet.
During these excavations remains of portico. and pillars
were found, which formed part of the principal entrance to
the Temple of the Holy Sepulchre in the time of Constan-
tine. Before the end of 1862 en asylum for female pilgrims
will be commenced. At present pilgrims are lodged in
private houses, under the care of the Russian Consul, sad
there is a provisional hospital, where those who fall sick
are admitted gratuitously. The donations received from
Russian pilgrims from 1858 to the Ist of January last
=oust to 659,921 roubles, and the balance in hand at the
last-named date was 106,197 rouble.. A further sum of
350,000 roubles will yet be required to finish the buildings
begun, sad it is hoped that this amount will be obtained in
, due time from voluntary contributions.

The chief points of interest in the trial were the
plea of insanity which the male prisoner's Counsel
urged on his behalf, and the acquittal of the
female prisoner. There was no evidence whatever
adduced to justify the attempted defence that the
prisoner was not responsible for his acts at the time
when the murder was committed. On the con-
trary, all the facts show that the crime was not
only perfectly deliberate, but executed with great
coolness and presence of mind. Almost the only
proof of insanity dwelt upon by Mr. Pore, the pri-
soner's counsel, was the remarkable violence that
marked the act. This might of course argue a morbid
intensity and concentration of passion, a kind
of moral monomania. But of course, without some
distinct evidence of unsoundness of mind, the mere
violence of the act could not for a moment be
allowed to detract from the full responsibility of the
agent. Such a plea if accepted would be a direct
recognition of the dangerous rule that has occa-
sionally been propounded by eccentric moralists,
but which would be utterly fatal to the adminis-
tration of justice—the rule that the greater the
crime the less the criminal. With regard to the
other point, it may seem at first perhaps a little

subject in the following words :
Thus is sot, use as thus be is Prow" mare than owe

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

The fineness of the weather brought a good at-
tendance to the Exhibition yesterday, including a
larger proportion than usual of persons who came
iin their own equipages—a fact ndicating the ad-
vanced period to which the Loudon season is being
protracted this year. There was also a large ad-
mixture of the humbler classes in society, it being
now pretty generally known that those who want
to have " a good look at the things " must be pre-
pared to pay half-a crown, and come on Friday or
Saturday. Many of the large employers of labour have
preferred paying the half-crown in order that their
people might see the Exhibition comfortably ; and
perhaps the largest exercise of liberality in this
way which has yet taken place has been that of
Messrs. Penn, the eminent marine engineers, who
have made arrangements for the admission of their
whole establishment, 1,800 in number, who are to
march to the building to-day, accompanied by their
band, and, having gone through the building, to be
refreshed at the expense of the firm in the English
department.

The highest temperature yesterday, as shown
by Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometers,
was :—ln the nave, 67.3 deg. ; in the galleries, 69.4
deg. ; in the western annexe, 72.1 deg. The reading
was taken at 4 p.m.
The following were the total numbers admitted
yesterday, compared with the corresponding day
in 1861:
