LONDON, SATURDAY, OCT. 27.

TEE conviction of GIONAM Muunre for the
murder of Mrs. Esistav satisfies the public instinct,
which had seized every salient point against the
prisoner at the very outset of the preliminary in-
vettigntion of the case. The public instinct is no
guide to justice ; but, on the whole, it is less prone
to stumble or stray than a conscientious jury, per-
plexed by cross-examinations, and perhaps divided
in sentiment as to the " sanctity" of a murderer's
existence. The interests of social security are re-
assured every time that circumstantial evidence—
almost always in cases of this kind the only evidence
—is enabled to construct achain of moral certainties
in which the sharpest forensic rapier can find no
flaw. It may be better that a hundred guilty
should escape than that one innocent should suffer,
but it is not the less a public misfortune when the
nice contradictoriness of chymical testa acquits a

poisoner who has smiled for weeks with lingering
affection upon a beloved victim of infinitesi-
mal doses. In such cases excessive medical
acuteness combines with vulgar impatience to neu-
tralise the moat decisive testimony ; but when-
ever the common properties of a regular melo-
dramatic murder can be got together, such as a
boot, a hammer, a bag of money, and a acmes
well battered about the skull, and lying in a
"pool of blood," any rational jury will convict
without much fear of an outcry of horror next
morning at the judicial murder of a victim
of " circumstantial evidence." In this Step-
ney murder, which for the last eight
or nine weeks has supplied a ghastly topic
of suburban gossip, it must be confessed that the
links of the chain of evidence against the prisoner,
who was sentenced to death last evening, were
many and minute rather than large or strong.
Let us say at once that, after the most careful
and anxious attention to the trial, we entirely
accept the verdict of the jury. We shall there-
fore not be misunderstood if we add that many an
accusation far more strongly supported than this
has fallen to the ground, whether from timidity or
inattention of the jury, from looseness in the''
depositions, defect of skill in the conduct of the
prosecution, or from a wayward resistance to
some apparent bias on the part of the
Court. In the present instance the prisoner
himself, after the delivery of the verdict, acknow-
ledged the perfect fairness of the tribunal. Never,
we are persuaded, was the merciful and indulgent
spirit of English justice more conspicuous than in
this trial ; yet never was its step more swift or its
grasp more sure.

There is nothing romantic or even peculiar in the
facts of this Stepney murder. It is stale, common-
place, coarsely brutal in all its incidents. A widow
woman of seventy, dragging out acheerleasand love-
less life in solitary, suspicious penury, living without
so much as a servant in her house, and spending
her days in scraping together small rents from
needy families in a dreary suburb, seems a tempt-
ing object enough for the dark hand of stealthy
violence. Yet there is something that appals iu
the loneliness and forlornness of this wretched old
woman, murdered by one of the two or three
fellow-creatures to whom her door was not obeli-
nately closed, and found, after some four days'
strange silence, murdered in a lumber-room !
Perhaps what distinguishes this case from the
multitude of crimes is that the murderer, having
once served in the detective police, employed his
wits and his experience to dig • pit of false evi-
dence fur another man, and fell into it himself
headlong. It was for the sake of the reward of
300/. that Mumnis " made a communication " to
Sergeant Tswana; for the miserable old woman's
assets (grossly exaggerated, of course, by the com-
mon talk) were insignificant in amount. Mciamis,
therefore, having elaborately laid a trap for
• friend at whose house he bad been
in the habit of taking his meals, assured
Sergeant T - that he had long had his suspi-
cions and now knew the man. "The man" was
no other than his friend limns. Mrritims had seen
Emus deposit a parcel behind a slab of stone in a
shed. The shed was searched accordingly by Ser-
geant Tsarica ; but nothing was found until
3lettims stepped forward and exclaimed, " You
" hau'n't half searched the shed. Look behind
" that deb." Ilt-iaisa was turning detec-
tive on himself, and yet ho was surprised when he
found himself arrested in company with the man
hr had falsely accused. The fatal blindness which
almost invariably accompanies the most diabolical
cunning in • murderer had struck the false accuser
here. He had prepared with his own hands the
instruments of his discovery. The paper parcel
which Mutarris had hidden in the shed was tied
with a dirty apron string, and the inner parcel with
a waxen curd. On the mantel-piece of his own
lodgings a piece of string exactly corresponding,
and a piece of cobblves wax were found. It
•as not very probable, as the counsel
for the prosecution put it unanswerably, that the
man whom Mews* had falsely accused would
deliberately place in the shed near his cottage the
es idence of his c.miplicity in the crime, four weeks
after the murder. But the plasterer's hammer
with which he had been seen at work on the even-
int of the murder wa, also found at his lodgings,
and one of the. %%,.u::,is on the murden.4l woinal.'i

skull exactly fitted, according to

with the edge of the hammer.

The witimeses who attempted
alibi for Minamcs were his

their testimony was too flighty to rebut the
evidence of strangers who swore to having seen
the man on the night of the murder walking in the
dhualion of Mrs. EWILRY'S house, and returning
home at 5 o'clock next morning " in a circuitous
" direction," in • state of great nervous
excitement, and with his pockets " bulky."
A pencilcaae proved to have belonged to the
murdered woman was also proved to have been
disposed of by the prisoner's wife a day or two
before he gave information to the police. On the
other hand, Emma, whom he falsely accused, was
proved beyond a doubt to have been at Stratford,
collecting rents for Mrs. EMBLEY on the night
of her murder, and to have been detained at
home by illness at the hour when Mumma
declared he had seen him deposit the parcel
in the abed. The case for the prosecution
was rich enough to dispense with the evidence of
a boot which the prisoner had been seen to throw
into • dust-hole at the lodgings from which be
had removed a fortnight after the murder. This
boot corresponded with the impression of a nailed
shoe in a board, which was produced in court,
and some human hair was found sticking to
the boot. But evidence like this the counsel for
the prosecution, at the suggestion of the
Court, very wisely refrained from pressing,
and certainly the jury bad no need of it. There
was ample room for the masterly defence, and not a
single weak point escaped the penetration of the
prisoner's advocate ; but the guilt of the accused
was most clearly established by the materials which
his own false accusation of an innocent man bad
provided. And while the domestic tragedy at
Road remains a secret, the conviction and condem-
nation of Muttnis, on the strength of mere
circumstantial evidence, is to be regarded as a
matter of public satisfaction.

"NAPLXB. Oct. 24.
" It is not true that Capna has been taken.

" Victor Emmanuel is at Stead, which is 20
miles from Naples, with 25,000 men. It is thought
that there will be a battle between the Neapolitans
and the Piedmoutese."

THE AUSTRIAN POLICY.

The Paris Moniteur of to-day says :—" The Opinion
Nationale published a note which it was asserted
bad been communicated by the Austrian Embassy
at Paris to the correspondents of certain journals.
We are enabled to give a denial to the source which
has been attributed to this document, and to de-
clare in the moat formal manner that it rests upon
premises entirely destitute of foundation."

Prefacing the note referred to by the Monittur,
the Opinion Nationale publishes the following
paragraph, headed conspicuously

" ♦ CAMS BELL!.

"We do not think we are indiscreet in giving
publicity to the following note, which is said to
have been communicated to certain correspondents
by the Austrian embassy in Paris, and a copy el
which has fallen into our hands. If, as we have
uvery reason to think, this note is not repudiated,
it results that a cams betli has been clearly laid
down by Prince do Metternich on the Italian
question, and that Austria is assured of the sup-
port of the sovereigns who share her views of
public law. We need say nothing more of the
gravity di the situation thus inaugurated by the
return of the Austrian ambassador to Paris."
The following is the note :

The embassy of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria is
authorised to declare officially that the rumours of an ex-
traordinary oneentration and augmentation of troops in
Venetia, with a view to an attack upon Piedmont, is alto-
gether without foundation ; that the nomination of General
Benedek to the command of the army of Italy is an inert
in no way confirming those rumours ; and that the orders,
instructions, and information received up to the present
time authorise the embassy to believe that an immediate
attack upon Piedmont is in no way whatever contemplated
by the imperial government. It is thought that Prince de
Metternich, on his return to Paris, is charged to open nego-
tiations with the imperial government of France on the
Italian question, and OIS an equitable and pacific solution.
And [what follows is given by the Opinion Nationale in
italics] it will be only after the failure of this last effort
that the Emperor of Austria, in accord with the sovereigns
who take the same view of public law as he himself does,
may appeal to arms to as his rights, and the principles
stipulated in the lest tre►ty.
The Opinion Nationale, in another paragraph,
says :—" The three sovereigns of the north desire
not to give the character of a coalition to their re-
solutions. For this reason there will be no col-
lective note of their meeting, but only separate
memoranda. We must confess that we do not
very clearly understand the distinction."

I am told that both Kossuth and General Klapka
are now hi Paris, and have seen the Emperor.
This WWII has a palpable bearing upon that of
General Tures secret expedition, and of the dis-
trust of Austria expressed by the Opinion
Nationale.

It is confirmed that at the council of marshals,
held the other day at St. Cloud, it was determined
to create a 4th battalion in every regiment of the
French army, to be called " the battalion of re-
serve." The decree will probably appear in the
, Moniteur de l'Armite before long.
At the Bourse the Rents opened with an im-
provement upon yesterday, and the amelioration
was maintained nearly all day upon the strength
of the report that a congress had been agreed to at
Warsaw. A subsequent report (probably founded
on the news of the premature termination of the
meeting—attributed to the illness of the Empress
Dowager of Russia) that the interview had resulted
in nothing was also interpreted favourably. But
within a quarter of an hour of the close of
business a perfect panic occurred in consequence
of the news given in the Opinion Nationale
of a sort of ultimatum sent to France by Austria.
The Rents, after having been quoted at Mfr. 10c.,
dropped all at once to 68fr. 80c., with a fall of
90c. from the highest point of the day, but of only
At:. from yesterday. The rise which had taken
place in Mobilier and railway 'hares was paralysed
by this news, and they left off nearly at yesterday's
prices.
The Courrier du Dimanehe of Sunday next will
publish an article by M. Horn, which may be taken
as expressing the opinions of the Hungarian emigra-
tion in Paris as to the new Austrian constitution.
They look upon it as a bad joke, and parodying the
famous mot attributed by Talleyrand to the Count
d'Artois say, "Rion n'est chime en Autriche ;it
n'y a qu tune nuuvaise plaistuiterie de plus."
These principal objections to the constitution are
that it does not restore the territorial integrity of
Hungary, but on the contrary expressly maintains
the separation between Hungary and Transylvania,
and leaves the question of Voivodia for "future
consideration ;" that it does not even give the atatu
quo ante 1848, which was universally deemed in-
sufficient ; that it says nothing of the
palatine, who was always the born guardian
of the Hungarian constitution, nor of any
oath to be taken by the Emperor of Austria in his
character of King of Hungary ; that the " prepa-
ratory measures" before the council of state (a sort
of parliament mentioned in the decrees) is to meet
may last for months and years, and that when it
does meet its powers will only be " consultative ;"
that the new constitution excludes the idea of
ministerial responsibility, without which there can
be no security for good government ; that instead
of a national representation it cuts up the consti-
tuently into castes of clergy, nobility, landed pro-
prietors, tte. ; and lastly, that the bad faith of the
Hapebargs is au historical axiom, and that the mo-
ment at which the constitution is launched proves
conclusively that it is only the prelude of a reac-
tionary crusade in Italy for which the exequatur is
asked at Warsaw.

It is rumoured that the Chevalier Nigro, who
lately left Paris ou the occasion of the diplomatic
rupture with Turin, will shortly return on an ex-
traordinary mission.

4AETA.
commons= WITH GARIBALDI.)
CASERTA, Ocr.

tore to my imprison-

r, but simply m a debt of
petite& I owe to oar able miniker the }lOll. Mr. Elhot,
who at the first announcement of my imprisonment did all
that could be done to get me released. I have no doubt
that it is to him I owe that I am able to breathe ems more
the fresh air of this pima. At the first announcement of

my adventure Garibaldi bad not hesitated • moment to send
• putiamentair to general Etatuoci, asking him if he was
disposed to exchange me with two Neapolitan colonels,
caught on the 2nd of October, at Maddaloni. The King,
however, declined, and I now feel Battered by the refusal.
It was then that the action of Mr. Elliot began, and
the diplomatist was more fortunate than the warrior. The
animosity which the official people of Gaeta feel for Eng-
land is ridiculous. Cousigliere Ullea, Minister of Foreign
Affairs of Prandial., and his colleagues, have got it into
their beads that on the Ist of October Admiral Moody, on
bearing that artillerymen were wanting at Garibaldi's
camp, sent • party of our blue jackets to assist the
Italian patriots. I need not point out to you
the absurdity of this story. The true version of
it is that about five of the alien of the Hannibal being on
leave went down to Banta Maria to see the camp. They
arrived at 10 o'clock, just as the fighting wee at its hottest
point. Blue jackets who smell powder can scarcely be kept
quiet; it ia their nature, and it cannot be helped. The five
Bntons ran to the battery of Ports Captions., and seeing
that the Garibakliaas were unable to mount a heavy
60-pounder, they took the job in hand, and in • few
minutes the gun was doing its work. It was at that moment
that • Neapolitan regiment was ordered to assault
the battery. The officer of the staff who led the
column of attack undoubtedly saw the blue jackets, re-
ported the fact, and hence the error of Francis 11. In the
long conversation I had with Consigliere taloa I tried to
disabuse the mind of his excellency, but I am wary to say
all the argumenta I put forward to refute him were of no
avail. For Signor Ulloa and his colleagues England is more
than ever the " Perfide Albion." In spite of the Litter
feeling which exists against England, I was, however
given up, receiving long despatch, which I duly delivered
to Mr. Elliot, to whom it was addnweed.

THE FIRST ENGAGEMENT OP GARIBALDI'S

ENGLISHMEN.

We (Manchester Examiner) have been favoured
with the following extract from a letter addressed from
Naples, by Mr. Mason Jones, the well-known orator,
to Mr. Walter H. C. Taylor, of LiverpooL It is dated the
19th inst. :

" This morning I was at the camp, and saw the English
Legion receive its first baptism of fire. I went by rail
to Caserta, where I heard the cannon firing near Capita.
On arriving at Santa Maria 1 found all the troops under
arms, and the heavy gone unlimbered in front, ready for
action. Everywhere on the road to Saint Angelo I saw
traces of the great battle of the Ist instant—trees cut
down and pierced with shot, and the ground torn up by
the tramp of cavalry and artillery. In company with some
officers of the Agamemnon (91 guns), I climbed the lofty
hill of Mats, above St. Angelo, where we found Garibaldi
himself and five or six members of his staff. frfata is
the Dictator's favourite positioo for observing the
enemy. From the crest of the hill you can look right
into Capes, and see Gaeta in the distance ; before you is
spread out the whole line of operation, down to Caserta
and Maddeloni, with the Volturno winding through the
plain. Standing here Garibaldi can see every movement
of the enemy. While we were climbing the hill the
firing was incessant, and a •hell aimed at Garibaldi bunt
about sixty yards from our feet. We were in hopes of
seeing some fighting, nor were we disappointed. About
ten o'clock the Neapolitans in force attacked the position
at St. Angelo. They marched before the camps before
Cyw• towards the Garilualdiati lines. The English Lemon,
which reached Naples last Monday, only arrived at the
mime at nine o'clock, an hour before the fight began.
They marched from Santo Maria to St. Angelo, and at
once took up their position on the extreme front to the left,
and next to Capua. They were immediately attacked.
The legion, commanded by Colonel Peard (Garibaldi's
Englishman), received their enemies with a shout,
and drove them back in confusion under the very walls
of Capua. The English were imprudently brave and need.
lessly exposed themselves. The great difficulty of the
officers was to restrain the impetuosity of their men and
to keep them back. Foiled in their attempt to break Gari-
baldi's lino, the Neapolitans now commenced shelling
their victor*, when Colonel Psrl withdrew his men under
saver. All these operations were anxiously watched by
Garibaldi, and soon after Colonel Dowling arrived
and gave the General an account of the fight. He
said the men had behaved splendidly. I regret to say
that Lieutenant Tucker, the correspondent of the
Illustrated Tiosst, or Nava was killed. lie only received
his oommiseion this morning, and in a few hours afterwards
he was a corpse. The Neapolitans left between 50 or 60
killed and wounded on the field, and did not venture out
again to-day. They had evidently got more than enough of
it. While we were standing on the hill with the Dictator, a
Neapolitan battery kept pitching shells at him, bat they all
went over our heads, and burst at the other side. It
was anything but pleasant to hear the whiz of the shells
in such close proximity to us, but Garibaldi took no
notice whatever of them. I Lad • fine opportunity of
observing the greatest man of this country. He was dressed
in the famous red shirt, grey trouser, and wide-awake hat.
He bad no Mars, orders, or pipeclay about him, but stood
there in all the simplicity of true greatness. I do not wonder
at all the men adiniring,and all the women loving him. None
of the published portraits give us an adequate idea of him,
and when his face is lighted up with a smile he seems the
incarnation of goodness itself. No language can do full
inatioe to the unaffected simplicity, modesty, and self-
unconsciousness of the man. I had the honour of a long
interview with him. Father Gavatsi introduced me to
him. He reoeived me in the kindest manner, and in
the course of the conversation expressed the gratitude he
felt to the English people for the sympathy and support
which he had received from them ; but I must not say
more, or I shall imitate the bad example and worse taste
of Mr. Edwin James. This interview was the proudest
moment io my life, and when this uncrowned king shook
my hand, and said he was glad to see me, I felt more
honoured than if I had been filed and flattered by all
the monarchs of Europe. You see I sop a hero worshipper.
In fact, I have not escaped the fascination which
Garibaldi exerts upon all who come within his reach. I
startled this evening by train, and had the good fortune
to travel in the same carriage with the Dictator from Santa
Maria to Caserta, where he has established his head quarters,
in the king's palace. I sat on one side of him, and Captain
Hope, of the Agamemnon, at the other. • • •
" I have been through the horrible dungeons in St.
Elmo and other prisons, in which the hurneoe Bour-
bons tortured and murdered their unfortunate subjects,
and I have not yet fully recovered from the effect of
the darkness, filth, stench, and abominations which I
sow in them. The Neapolitans are the most con-
temptible race on earth, or they would have re-
belled long ago. I see Mr. Edwin James has been alarming
the public with accounts of anarchy, robber y,rand I don't know
what else besides in Naples. I can only say, from my
experience, that the anarchy oxide only in Mr. James's
imagination. The most perfect order reigns in Naples ;
life and property were never so ware ; you may go for
miles around Naples without • pistol or weapon of any
kind ; and as for the reads being infested by brigands, I
mast say that the most brigandish looking thing I have
seen since I mom to this city is a portrait of Mr. Edwin
James himself in the last number of thel teat rated London
