Arrival of Muller in England.

QUEENSTOWN, Friday Morning.

From the moment the Etna was signalled to the
time she made the harbour, excitement was intense,
and, as the vessel containing the man whom the
people in Queenstown believed to be the murderer
of Mr Briggs hove in sight, every place commanding
a view of her lights in the distance WAS tenanted, and
applications to go out in the Inman tender to meet
the vessel were very numerous, but all except the
press were refused. The tender left the quay soon
after 7 o'clock, with Captain Eastman, the American
consul, on board, and steamed away to sea till the
rocket signals in the distance indicated the approach
of the Etna. At this moment the interest and
curiosity of the few on board the tender were raised
to the highest pitch, which continued till the Etna
drew up to the tender. To the question,
Muller on board ? ' " Yes," was the reply. A
eagerly rushed on board.
The Etna left New York. on the 33 instant, and
Muller, in custody of Inspector Tanner, conducted
himself well during the voyage. He eays he is
innocent. He ate, drank, and slept well, read the
Pickwick Papers, and laughed heartily over them.
He says he shall never forget Sam Weller. He says
he will be able to establish his perfect innocence,
Inspector Kerressey and
Sergeant Clark had
charge of the prisoner, who has been kept in the
sick bay or hospital, of which ho has had the range.
He has never been in irons.
Mr Death and Matthews, the cabman, are on
hoard and quite well.
Inspector Tanner, with his charge, is well. They
will leave Liverpool on Saturday morning for Lon-
don. Although Muller is the son of very poor
parents, he has served some time in the German
army, and seems to understand what he reads, but
is not an intelligent man, and writes badly. Since
the trial on the 31st ult. he has had no conversation
with any one publicly. The excitement among the
German population of New York is immense. In-
spector Tanner before he left addressed a letter to
Superintendent Kennedy, of the New York police,
thanking him for the advice and assistance rendered,
and enclosed ten sovereigns for Detective Tiernan,
who zealously discharged the duties entrusted to
him. The crowds at Qleenetown were much die-
appointed on finding Muller had been conveyed on
to Liverpool.
The New York Herald publishes a correspondence
between Inspector Tanner and Superintendent Ken •
nedy, the former returning thanks for the attention,
advice, and assistance he received during his visit,
also thanking him for tho valuable assistance of
officer Tiernan, and enclosing for him a gratuity of
£lO, if allowed to receive it. Superintendent Ken-
nedy acknowledged and permitted Detective Tiernan
to receive the gratuity.
Muller was conveyed to the Etna in a carriage on
the 3d inst.
