to estimate the value of M. de Lesseps's great work.
Their inquiry was most minute. Every source of
information was placed at their disposal, and every
practical test has been applied to the working of the
canal. The result is highly reassuring. In all
respects, save one, their conclusions are favourable;
and even their one adverse decision is not matter of
certainty. They are of opinion that the success of
the undertaking would have been more unqualified,
if the opening had been delayed a little; but even
as it is the results are good. The canal is a safe
and convenient passage from the Mediterranean to
the Red Sea. The depth is mostly sufficient for all
ordinary vessels, and is rapidly improv-
ing. v-
When the work was opened one or
two places of insufficient depth presented
themselves; but these defects, which were owing to
the hardness of the ground, have given way to per-
severing labour; and the rocky portions of the canal
are becoming as safe as those which run through the
softest soil. The report concludes that when certain
improvements are completed—a little more deepening
in one or two places, and the extending of the passing
stations—the water-way will be available for all the
vessels engaged in the Eastern Seas, except very
exceptionally heavy ones. The shareholders will be
glad to learn, too, that the cost of maintaining the
canal in working order will 'not exceed the estimate
first made many years ago. Here is another
striking proof of the sagacity and foresight
of M. de Lesseps. With respect to the
use of the canal for the passage of Government
transports the two commissioners are somewhat
dubious, but the question has since been well-nigh
settled. Whilst they were discussing the possibility-
of a transport getting through, one very large vessel
of the class, the Jumna, has safely tried the
experiment, and passed from sea to sea with-
out injury. This practical test goes far to
set aside the theoretical conclusion put forth
with official caution in the report. The inquiry
seems to have been somewhat tardy; but, at
any rate, it has been effectual. The English Govern-
ment has from the first treated this great work with
the most sublime indifference; but its advantages,
and, above all, its advantages to England, have
asserted themselves at last.

THE present year, if we may believe the " Red "
section of the community, is to see the final success
of the great work which was so bunglingly attempted
in 1789, and so artistically begun and nearly com-
pleted in 1848. A general strike, a general
rising, a universal downfall of thrones, and
a universal uplifting of the Republic,
are amongst the blessings. confidently promised us.
Socialism, it is undeniable, was never so powerful
as at the present moment. There is no doubt that
the doctrines of general equality, primitive institu-
tions, and universal peace—to the consummation of
which a deadly revolutionary contest must be a prer
liminary—have been widely diffused, and met with
Very general acceptance from the lower orders of
Europe. Englishmen are somewhat behindhand, it
would seem, in advanced ideas, and moreover Eng-
land is very useful as a basis for Republican plots.
Therefore there is to be no attempt at present
to proclaim the Republic here ; but the troublesome
island adjoining the " melancholy ocean" is a fine
field for operations. There, s'e are told, a revolu-
tion will be effected before Christmas, and the Fenian
supremacy will be assured. Nor are the
symptoms restricted only to vain threats. The
Fenian leaders are attempting a more or less
serious revival. The brotherhood are active both in
Birmingham and London. In the greater city the
police have discovered traces of an organisation
which has called for great 'vigilance and precaution.
Rendezvous have been explored. Men of Fenian
sympathies, who were found supplied with
arms and money, are now under arrest.
This activity is as nothing, however, compared with
the doings on the other side of the Atlantic. In
Canada troops were recently raised in hot haste, and
the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended, in anticipa-
tion of an immediate raid across the frontier. A.
Congress is sitting here, gatherings are held there,
and the House of Representatives itself, as usual, is
not backward in displaying its hostility.
Past experience will induce us to be over on the
watch against hostility from this quarter. The Fenian
movement never proved dangerous, but it contrived
to inflict lamentable injury on many innocent inhabi-
tants of this country. We had little apprehension
of such a deed when the Clerkenwell outrage took
place. The murder of Serjeant Brett was an act of
astonishing daring. The one peculiar feature of
the Fenian organisation is the reckless courage
which is every now and then displayed by
some of its members. Here and there men risk their
liberties and lives in a design, of which the danger is
altogether disproportionate to the prospect of success.
It is true that the ranks of revolutionary bodies fre-
quently contain men to whom the risk of life seems
very little. But they do not usually act without
some prospect of encouragement. When the fearless
Gustave Flourens proclaimed a revolution in Paris a
few weeks ago, he was in the midst of a crowd of demo-
crats in the must exciteable city in Europe. What
hope, however, could the Manchester and Clerken-
well Fenians have of effecting their object with
safety to themselves ? As the result proved, the
Manchester Fenians gained their immediate end, but
were themselves captured. The. Clerkenwell Fenians
escaped, but their design failed. This disposition on
the part of a few
‘men to venture upon desperate
deeds in the midst of a hostile population must al-
ways be guarded against as far as possible. Various
hypotheses have been formed to account for it. The
truth seems to be tho America is a magazine from
which a fresh store of Fenian spirit is being constantly
sent forth. Left to itself, Irish Fenianism would die
out from want of nourishment, but American
animosity to England keeps alive the fire, and
the dangers of a few score men invading
a great country look small across an ocean.
More than all, a supply of money is always forth-.
coming. The Irishman, who can hardly live in his
own country, finds abundant remuneration in the
great Republic ; and there he is free to indulge in
schemes from which his poverty debars him at home
It is not likely that Fenianism will soon be extinct,
even if the Irish by any chance become contented.

In the lions.; of Commons, yesterday, Sir John
Pakington drew attention to the great loss of life
and property at sea, and moved for. a Commission to
inquire into the subject, He ascribed the great in-
crease in shipping disasters in the main to the system
of overloading, particularly as regarded steamers. Alr.-
Lefevre, huwever, denied that there was such an in-
crease in wrecks and other casualties as described by the
hon. baronet, and pointed out thatthe bill which he had'
introducei would go far to remove many of the evils
connected with the merchant service. The motion
was ultimately withdrawn. Sir Roundell Palmer thou
brought under the notice of the _House the late
murders in Gt:eece, and asked ;what steps the Go-
vernintlit had taken, or intended taking, with
the view of obtaining sAtisflction. Sir Henry Bulwer,
in a most impassive speech, proposed as amendment.
The conductof the Greek Government was by both un-
sparingly criticised—Mr. Gladstone replying that
the Government had demanded a full investigation,
and at the proper time would demand that condign
punishment should be inflicted on the guilty persons.
The Premier pointed out that the punishment of
those more immediately guilty should not come too
soon, hinting that if they were 'the tools of others,
it wa : mire means of suppressing the truth. Thel
House did not adjourn until three o'clock. 1

FREE RUSSIA.

TO THE EDITOR OE TLIE 11 BUM."

6, St. James's-terrace, Regent's-park, N.W.,
May 19, 1870.

Sin,- May 1 ask your leave to lay the following facts
before the public. Mr. Sutherland Edwards, who has
himself written a book on Russia, tells the world that my
work, called "Free Russia," contains many errors. He cites
from "Free Russia" certsiu things; he declares that the
things so cited are not true; and on the strength of these
citations he warns his readers that my facts are not to be
trusted.

Now, Ido not imagine that "Free Russia" is free from
error; what work ever was? But I reply to Mr. Edwards
that the pa6sages he cites are not in my book.
• In this cause of truth I put Mr. Edwards to the proof.
1. He makes me say " The Convent of Selovetsk-is a
Lavra." My answer is, I never said so; and I demand his
• proof.
2. He makes= say "That there are four great religious
and monastic establishments in Russia rejoicing in the high
designation of Lavra." My answer is, I have never said
so ; and I demand his proof.
3. He makes me say that "serfdom disappeared from
Westei-n Europe with the dark age's." My answer is, 1 have
never said so, and 1 demand his proof.
4. Ho makes me say that "Russia is the only country
where the serf was ever looked upon as owner of the land
he tilled." My answer is, I have never said so, and I de-
mand his proof.
5. He make me say that "Russia is the only country
where the serf has been liberated with his land." My ati7
swer is, I have never said to, and 1 demand his proof.
These are not opinions on which men may differ. They
ale not facts on which authorities may differ. 'They are
questions, of Truth and Falsehood.
It is for the matt who makes the false citations a question
of honour, and as he answers he will stand or fall in the
estimation of all honourable men.

W. HEPWORTH DIXON:

THE CHELSEA MURDER.

WESTMINSTER-(YESTERDAY.)

Walter Miller, a plasterer, about SO years of age, was
further examined, charged with the wilful murders of Ann
Boss and the Bev. Mr. Elias Heulin, a pastor of the French
Protestant Church, under revolting circumstances, that have
been before detailed.
A vast crowd gathered to witness the arrival of the
prisoner, but they wei e not gratified, in consequence of
his being brought in the police van early in the morning.
Mr. Bury Victor Hutchinson, attorney, defended, in-
structed by the Society for the Abolition of Capital Punish-
ment.

Upon the prisoner being placed in the dock,
Mr. Selfo said he would take the IN itnesses in their- order
of turn

John Hunt proved seeing the prisoner last in Poulton's-
' square. Know Ann Boss, Mr. Huolin's housekeeper,
and saw her last alive at 7.10 In the morning, on Monday
week. She was cleaning the doorstep; that was, the last I
saw of Ann.
Cross-examined—l don't knew a Man named Andrews, a
dog fancier. I did not see a man on the Monday at all.
By the Magistrate—l know the prisoner for a month. 1
saw him go on the Tuesday, not before, to the house. 1 got
everything for the prisoner by Mr. Heulin's orders; he went
into 15, Paulton's-square on ,the Monday morning. I did
not speak to him, except tel ing him no one was at home.
Mr. Middleton let him in before 1 got acrces the road.
By Mr. Hutchinson- I did not see another man there on
the Tuesday. There was no work going on. The work
was done in Wellington-square with Andrews, another man.
Harriett Tibley sworn—l'm a widow, and live at 6, Rut-
land-street, Montpelier-square, Brompton-road. I know the
prisoner. I was at his house on Monday week, at 26, Sey-
mour-place, Fulham-road. Mr Miller was there when J
went in, from 3 o'clock to 4 o'clock. I can't tell the exact
tune. I saw nothing peculiar., and he was going to have his
dinner. He was dressed in grey trousers (blood was found
on a grey pair). He then had dinner and tea combined.
He put on a clean shirt that his wife was ironing. After
dinner Mrs Miller put on his collar and cuffs. I did not
see what he had on when he went out, and I can't recollect
about his whiskers. I knew him well for two years. 1
have lodged with them some time. He never wore spec-
tacles that I Itneiv of. I have known him to shave hie
whiskers off, but I can't y u exactly. There was
nothing said in my presence about his leaving Chelsea; he
was going to Hornsey after a job.
By Mr Hutchinson—He was not disturbed in his mind that
I noticed.
Frederick Charles Vince, 2, Stanley:road, Fulham, stoker,
said - I was last in prisoner's company on Tuesday, l oth
May, at Sand's End, outside a beershop. He asked me if I
had any girl. I told him he could Lot get one just now.
He said he wanted one to go to the Alhambra. I told
him he would get one,by -and-by e. He asked me if I wanted
to earn
.Is. or 25., and I said I would be glad to do so. He
wanted me to go to a private room, and we went to
a public-house. Ho said he had got a box to be
removed froth Paulton,square, and he asked me to
drink,
.and I bad a pint of ale. I asked him whet
time he would have the box moved, and he said about eight.
I left him there, and he went to sleep in the parlour of the
Hand and Flower for two or three hours. Ho came there
stout eight o'clock and told me to follow him. I went to
the Hand and Flower at eight as, ho was there. I fol-

lowed hitu over the bridge, down Fulham-road to the
litoebuck -street, iu Beaufort-street, King's-road, where we
drank. When we got a couple -of houses down tee square
he told me not to disappoint hint, as ho wanted a
cart -fetched. He walked close to Danvers-street, and
told me to be there with the cart in half an hour, and I said
I wo,ld. I went round the corner, and he went to a house,
I don't know the number, on the left hand side in I'aulton's-
square. I stayed there eve half an hour, and he never came
track. •

By Superintendent Fisher--I saw him about 2 o'clock, at
first that day, and saw the 1 risoner go into a house. 1
c uld not say which house.
By Mr, Hutchinson—He told me I should have to
take the box t..) Fulham I thought I was going to
Fulham ; he pointe to Fulham. I saw no other man with
him that evening. I did not know the prisoner; I thought
he was a Frenchman. I never worked with the prisoner or
quarrelled with him three months ago about some money.
I never knew him ; he never engaged me to move sonic
flowers three months ago ; I moved none. I did not have a
fight with him. Tht; prisoner did nct buy some flowers at
Stanley Bridge, three months ago, and ask me to take them
home. I was sitting on the. cart r,ading a book, and the
first thing he asked me was about the girl. He
was a perfect stranger. He did not give me od for carrying
the flowers, and I did not want 9d.

Rebecca Evans--I am a single woman. I live at 82, Park-
walk, and used to rent a house of the deceal,ed gentleman in
Paulton-square. I took the keys ou Monday to Mr. Hewitt's,
in Paulton-tquare, about 4 o'cloA. 1 knocked and rang
several times and got no admission. I called upon my re-
turn, and there was no one at home then. I knocked and
rang several times, and I came away, and from 7 to 9 1
went three separate times with the same result. I saw
the prisoner on the Monday evening about chic at
Mr. Heulin's house. He was in the back parlour.
The charwoman opened the door to me. He had two bot-

ties of wine with him. I asked for Mr Retain or the house-
keeper. She said the nephew was at home. 1 saw the pri-
soner. Be spoke-in bad English. 1 told him I had sent the
key. Ho said he did not comprehend about the key, but
asked me had I any money to pay. I told him I had not it
with me. but he could have it if he would come to Park-
walk. I asked him if he was the nephew, and he said yes.
I then asked if his nam > was Heulin. He said yes. He said
he was authorised to do anything for Mr Heulin.
By Mr Sche—He did u. t come to Park-walk, nor did I pay
him money. He spoke bad French.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hutcbinson—l did not think he
was a nephew. I had never seen him, and I told him so.
Ho came on the Wednesday, and I told him I would rather
pay Mr Heulin's rent to his solicitor. He said Mr. Heulin
would come home late that night, and go early in thb morn-
ing and not return for a fortnight.
Eliza Bartlett—l am servant to Mr Evans, the last witness.
My mistress sent me with the key of a house in Paultou-
square on Monday evening. I saw nobody there then. I
couldn't got in. I went there on the Monday morning, and
took the keyand gave it to a young woman who was there.
I saw the prisoner , about 12 o'clock on Wednesday L. the
back parlour of No. 15, Paulton-square I asked him if e
sent the key to 34. He spoke in broken French, as I under-
stand it. 1 believe this is the man. He was wearing spec-
tacles. I went to take tbo key to know if he Lad given it
•up ; that was all. He asked m© to take a glass of wine ;
there was wine on the table. He came to our place about 1
o'clock on Wednesday. My mistress saw him. He said his
name was Heulin. He said he would take the rent. He said
he would call again on Thursday as I let him out of the
door. I could riot swear to the spectacles.
Cross-examined-1 only saw the prisoner on those two
occasions, and he spoke broken French.
Dr. Francis Godrich was the next witness called to finish
the case as far as the murder of Ann Boss is concerned, 140,
Fulham-road, Brampton.—l was called in by the police on:
Wednesday night about 10; they imagined ho had taken poison
at the Chelsea station. I spoke. in English and ho did .not
answer_ I spoke in french, and ho did not answer. Hie
oyes were shut, but be could move his limbs. The pupils
were dilated, and the pulse regular or- normal. I gave-him
an emetic. I saved part of the matter that be vomited for
chemical analysis. I received from Inspector Tarleton
a broken blue bottle. I analysed the washings of
the bottle and the paper wrapped round it. I
discovered morphia and narcotic acid, which ' are
the actual constituents of laudanum. In the vomited
matter I found no poison, and I believed the man
was manoeuvring. I found only evidences of the zinc
I had given him. The cork is tightly forced in the bottle.
I found by the label that the prisoner had twopeianyworth,
about 60 or 70 drops, which would not be detrimental to
life. I think he was conscious all the time, but .1 think de-
pressed by fear or drink.
Cross-examined by Mr Hutchinson—The pupil acted na-
turally when exposed to light.
Harriett. Myddleton, the younger, sworn—l live with my
mother. 1 went on the Monday to U, Paulton-square, to
take charge. I was there all day. I saw Mr. Miller in the
morning' he came at half-past eight or a quarter to nine.
He went to get a pail of water, tt,..d then he went out.. He
is the person who came :hat morning. I saw a box iu the
back kitchen; it was not corded then. I did not s e him
again. There was nobody iu the house at all.
Cross-examined—l was at home on the Monday, and iu
the evening somebody came for me to work. I was at
the first inquest. I didn't hear her swear it was a French-
man who was there both days. my mother lodged iu the
prisoner's house, and knew him well. I had not seen him
olten. I was in the habit of visiting my mother when she
lodged there. I have only been to Seymour-place once.
By Superintendent Fisher—Ho spoke like a Frenchman
-• ta oken French. I did not see him on Monday night. I
s w him on Tuesday night. He came for m to go back That
person whoM I heard on Monday I saw. He had got spec-
tacles on. Mother went back with him to the house.
Mr. Fisher said that so far as the case of Ann Boss was
concerned that was all the evidence he Should call to-day.
Mr. Hutchinson requested Mrs. Myddletou to bo recalled
for cross-examination.

The Court here adjourned, and resumed in half-au-hour.
Mr. Humble Walker was called to prove when tho de-
ceased Mr. fleulin was last seen alive I live at 6, WePing-
ton-square. I am out of business —a gentleman. I knew
Mr Moulin. About half-past 11 o'clock 1 -saw him on the
st:•ps of tho house.No, 24, Wellington-square. I saw him in
the act of going up the steps, Lilt I did not observe hint go
in or whether he had the dog with him.
Cross-examined—l vas intimate with him. I did not
know he had made a will. I don't know any relatives who
are foreigners.

Thomas übrey Turner, M.D.—I was requeSted to exa-
mine some stains found uneer a cupboard at 24, Wellington-
square, and found they were large stains of blood, and just
as if you would find a body partially, sitting up, the head
resting against the wall. They were human blood
Harriet .Myddletou recalled and cross-examined by Mr.
-Hutchinson. She said I had known the prisoner some
time.
.1 had lodged in his house. I knew that ho was
no relative to Mr Heulin, and I never heard it of nay one
else. I never heard him- speak French until the night he
brought, me the key. This man, who called ou Monday
ni;!bt. snid very little, and only said In broken French ho was
g'ad I had not gone. I lodged with the prisoner 8 months.
I said it was the Freu3liman all along. I saw a Frenchman,
and saw him in the house on the Wednesday, when Mrs
,Evans called about the rent. It was the Wednesday I told
that lady the nepheW was at home. I - introduced"
the lady into the room,- and told her the nephew

was at home. That was the Frenchman who had called a°
cther night.
By Mr. Selfe—l could see 'a little difference wlvn I picked
the prisoner out. -I picked the prisoner out as the nepheo•
When be looked at me he bad his spectacles on, and my or
eight is not good. He seldom looked at me, 'The Fienc
man told me he was the nephew.
Mr. Fisher proposed to put a questic,n, wiethcr the
prisoner was the Frenchman when the box Nvous being re-
moved.

Mr. Selfe was satisfied with the evidohce.
The evidence of Henry Piper the 'carman was read ov.,r•
Cross-examined by Mr. Hutchinson—l noticed he was
little in liquor ; he talked like a t renchmati he said 1!„°
was a Frenchman. He did not help me to lift the box; ,
tried to cord ir. He did not lift it; I tried to do it Wllllou
tf
He was close by the box ; I got some blood at the corner 0
my apron ; there was none till he put his coat on it. ,
Dr, Ryder's evidence was read over relative to findieg ta
body of Boss dead in the box.

Joseph Cole, 19e T, repeated his evidence.
Mr. John Carter recalled—l did not know there was
will in existence. I called at Mr Lieulitt's on the Tues"*.
after I had heard information. The police were not therei
I could not find him if he was murdered. I made forth°
inquiries, and went with the police. I did not witch fort
will ! (emphatically). I did not say I was the execoW „tt
the inquest. I now know these is a will ; that will is "v
missing; I know it is found. V
Other witnesses were called but not cross-examine'
the legal gentleman for the defence, between whom and
Selfe an unseemly scene occurred relative to the contradie-
'lion of the witness Myddleton from what she stated at t"!
inquest.
Sergeant Large, 1T It —Evidence read, and gave the ,f
lowing additional :—Going up stairs I found a quantitY
bed clothes tied up, pillows, bolsters, blankets, cke •111,
received a bunch of keys found on the prisoner, one of ,3
