THE MURDER ON THE NORTH LONDON
RAILWAY.

A rumour, which we declined to publish,
was current yesterday afternoon that the man Muller
had been arrested at Queenstown, into which port
the ship Victoria had put from some muss or
other. A telegram received from Qmenstown last night,
however, gives an entire onatradiction to this statement,
for which there was no foundation whatever. Our Liver-
pool correspondent writes that Inspector Tanner, of the '
metropolitan force; Mr. Death, the jeweller; and the
cabana, to whose sister Muller was paying hie addresses,
left th►t port yesterday for New York, in the New York
and Philadelphia Company's steamer City of Manchester.
Mr. Tanner is armed with the necessary warrants for the
apprehension of the culprit, and hears despatches from
Mr. Adams, the American minister in Loudon, so that any
proceedings in America will be facilitated to the utmost.
The City of Manchester will in all probability arrive out
sooner than the Victoria, and every precaution will be taken
to secure Muller's arrest. If the New York Associated
Press-boat be seen off Caps Ram, telegrams for the Canadian
stations will be at cow forwarded, and then the chances
in favour of the fugitive escaping will be very few indeed.
The state of the weather off Cape Race may prevent de.
matches being met, however, until the vessel rushes New
York, and if the Victoria makes a good run she may reach
Canada before Muller's pursuers.
We understand that Mr. Blyth, the landlord of the
house in which Muller lodged, gave Inspector Steer a letter
be had received from Muller, meted at Worthing on the
16th inst., and which had been brought from the ship
Victoria by the pilot when be left that vaiseL The
contents of the letter were to the effect that be
(Mailer) should "never touch on England's shores again."
The letter wee addressed to his former fellow-lodger,
Goodwin, to whom he bade farewell for ever. In the course
of that officer's search of the room which Muller had ooeu•
pied, Inspector Steer found a silk Stern lining, which bad
hem bidden up the chimney. It was fated to have he-
longed %I the sleeve of a man's oat. The bottom part of it
was covered with large spots of blood, which have since
i been microscopically examined and pronounced to be human
blood. The lodger Goodwin handed to Inspector Tanner •
photograph of Muller, similar to the one now in the pos-
session of Inspector Steer.
Matthews, the cabman, wee formerly a johns/40er. sad
some time ago became bankrupt, and has nut yet obtained
his certificate. At the railway stake, on Tuesday night,
be lugubriously expressed his fears that his creditors would
seize upon the reward.

According to the last adrices from the west
coast of South America s testimonial is about to be got up
throughout the republic.' of Chili, Bolivia, Peru. Ecuador,
and New Grenade, to Captain Peacock, who took oat the
first mail steamer to the west coast of South America from
Englasid through the Straits of Magellan, coeveyed the first
matt across the Isthmus of Panama, and armed in steer-
taming 000taary to the opiciou of geologista, that Chili
produced true coal.
