(Pons the Daily News of. this day.)
If we may trust the Court Circular and the ru-
mours of the day, it is pretty obvious that the Go-
verrireents of England and of Franco are already
Ift -- riOion on the ensuing campaign. It is
imposible, indeed, to belide that two such em-
pire; together with those of Turkey and_ Sardinia,
Flo not possess means sufficient to supply an army
superior in numbers and equipment to that of
'Russia, and therefore the only point in which the
Allies can possibly fail is in the mode of wielding
the forces at their disposal. Under such circum-
stances it is obvious that a plan of operations is of
the very deepest importance. The mass of man-
kind are so ignorant of the real secret of the suc-
cess of military operations—so apt to be carried
away by the brilliant details of particular engage-
ments—so incapable of seeing the general principle

Ever since this wretchedly mismanaged war
began our Ministers have been thinking of peace—
fighting with an olive branch. Russia has been
thinking of war, and fighting with the sword. This
miserable hankering after peace has been the cause
of all our failures. In the old time the cry of
England at a commencement of a war was " Flam-
herge au vent," until the point for which she
fought was decided by the subjugation of her
enemy, and then peace became possible. The
contrary course has produced all the vacillations,

symptoms of poisoning three weeks before death, and
this would have rendered them all the more watchful of
any accident which was likely to occur ; but the theory
of accident has as little support from the circumstances
of the case as the theory of suicide.
How was the poison administered t It must have beer.
either in the food or medicine. The vessels in which the
food was cooked and the injections prepared were of
sheet iron. There was io arsenical or other glaze about
them. They were such as are ordicarily used in houses,
without any of the results of arsenical poisoning being
observed.
The medical gentlemen, whatever may have been their
indiscretion in keeping their suspicions of poisoning con-
cealed during a period of three weeks, are completely
exonerated by these facts from any participation in the
administration of arsenic to the deceased.
The symptoms of poisoning, according to the evidence,
were first manifested about the middle of May, but it was
not until the Sth of June that a suspicion arose that poi-
son was the cause. It does not appear that injections
a ere used until about this date, and, assuming that the
early symptoms were caused by arsenic, some of the
poison must have been taken by the mouth ; hence those
about the deceased, who were in the habit of giving her
food or medicine, must, either knowingly or unknow-
ingly, have administered arsenic. There was no proof
of the possession of poison by any one about the de-
ceased, if we except the discovery of an ounce bottle,
The main fact in favour of the accused relied upon in
the defence and in the summing up of the learned judge
was, that there was no motive. The same remark wi.l
apply with equal force to every individual who was
around the deceased. The only medical fact which bore
apparently with any force against the accused was not
placed before the jury by the learned judge. There was
arsenic in a pewter syringe, identified es that which be-
longed to the accused, and proved by the witness Ann
Taylor to have been constantly used by him and herself
in administering injections. A brass syringe borrowed
by the prisoner bad been previously tested, and arsenic
was pronounced to he present in it. It was afterwards
found, however, that arsenical muriatic acid had been
used in testing it, and therefore the result could not be
relied on. Two other syringes found on the premises
were subsequently tested by pure materials, and in one
of these—a pewter syringe already referred to, the only
one used—arsenic was detected ! There was no arsenic
in the metal.
labelled " Fowler's Solution," containing a small quan-
tity of liquid. This was in a basket with other medicines
belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Wooler, and to which, it ap-
pears, they both had access. This bottle had disappeared
before the inquest. It is right to state that, when seen
on two different occasions, there was the same quantity
of liquid in it. Although labelled " Fowler's Solution,"
there was nothing to show that the contents of the bottle
consisted of this preparation. Hence, strictly speaking,
the possession of arsenic was not traced to the accused,
nor to any one about the person of the deceased. All
who had dispensed medicines for her were called, and
they clearly proved that no arsenical preparation had
been at any time used by them.
In the address made by the learned judge to the jury
the mistake respecting the arsenic in the brass syringe
(the borrowed one) was placed very prominently before
them ; but the fact regarding the positive existence of
arsenic in the pewter syringe (the prisoner's own) was not
even adverted to ; it was passed over as an unimportant
circumstance ! But it is surely important to consider
how the arsenic gob into the prisoner's syringe, and who
used it. We have heard it suggested that by a reversed
action of the valves some of the fluids of the rectum
might have been drawn into the tube. This far-fetched
hypothesis will not, however, explain the facts ; the
fluids secreted from the lower bowels could not have
been, under the circumstances, so saturated with arsenic
as to account for the result. The deceased was undergo•
ing chronic poisoning as a result of absorption, not acute
poisoning from a large quantity of arsenic, taken at a
dose, of which the surplus would be mechanically dis-
charged through the rectum. There is no theory to ex-
plain this fact, except that fluid containing arsenic must
have been used in the syringe, and a portion retained.
It appears, from the evidence, that the injections were
administered to the deceased by Mr. Wooller (the nc-
cused), and by Ann Taylor, the confidential servant. On
two occasions only the latter was assisted by Miss Lan-
chester, a friend of the deceased.
Such are the medical facts regarding the administration
of poison in this case ; the proof could be carrried no
further. Had the fact of the discovery -of arsenic iu the
syringe used by the prisoner been laid before the jury,
instead of being passed over altogether, it might not
have affected their verdict, but it would have probably
been more satisfactory to the public. The jury have pro-
nounced the prisoner, under the direction of the judge,
to be an innocent man wrongly accused of the crime of
murder. Still the fact remains—Mrs. Wooller has died
from the effects of arsenic, apparently administered in
injections by those about her, the administrations being
in small doses, extending over a periud of several weeks.
The learned judge, however, openly stated that this ad-
ministration had not been without full consciousness on
the part of some person not directly indicated. It is
unfortunate that, by this remark, a heavy weight of sus-
picion is made to rest upon persons undoubtedly inno-
cent of this foul and unnatural crime.

Now, it is obvious that there is no one thing
that can aid her in sowing dissension, or exciting
weariness, so effectually as the opportunity afforded.
by discussions such as we have alluded to. It is dur-
ing such that words prevail over facts. Russia is
essentially Asiatic, and it requires great knowledge
of the East to judge how vast among Orientals
is .the power of words. Talleyrand used to say
that even in Europe words were given
to conceal thoughts. In the East they are
used for no other purpose but to deceive, and it
is, therefore, that the necessity exists of looking to
facts alone, in attempting to form a judgment of
the future. Such has been the course which we

THE SURREY COUNTY PRISON.—At a meeting of the
Surrey magistrates it was determined to increase thein-
come of the clerk to the county gaol from 801. to 1001.
a-year ; that the surgeon's salary should be increased
from 221/. to 2801. It is likewise agreed that 8001. and
i CO/. should be expended in altering the assistant chap-

A GIGANTIC HOTEL.—We understand that a project
has been recently set on foot for the purchase of the
National Gallery, the barracks in the rear, and the stack
of houses extending from the barracks to St. Martin's-
place, the object being to erect upon the site—the most
magnificent in Loudon—a gigantic and costly hotel, to
be denominated the Imperial. The draft of an Act of
Parliament has already been lodged in the Private Bill-
office fer the establishment of a
.company to be called
"The Imperial Hotel Company." The capital proposed
to be raised is 1,000,0001., in shares of 101. each. The
undertaking is one of unusual magnificence, and it may
be worth the serious consideration of Parliament whe-
ther, the National Gallery being notoriously unfitted for
its purpose, it would not be desirable to negotiate a sale
by which a very large sum of money 'may be saved to
the nation. Notices have been sent round to the several
owners of property situated within the selected site.

In support of her charge she produced letters, pur-
porting to have been addressed by her husband to Mlle.
Carmen ; they were written in very extravagant style,
and professed the most fervent love. Under these cir-
cumstances the Tribunal allowed Mine. Ronconi time to
produce proof of her accusation.
She subsequently appeared before the examining ma-
gistrates, and declared that in 1853 Ronconi had re-
sided with Mlle. Carmen in an hotel in the Rue Jacob ;
but the master and the concierge of the hotel, whom she
caused to be summoned as witnesses, declared positively
that they knew neither Ronconi nor Mlle. Carmen ; and
as she was not able to bring forward any other proof,
her complaint was declared unfounded.
She appealed to the Imperial Court against this deci-
sion, but it was confirmed. She was thereupon ordered
to be brought to trial on her husband's complaint, and
Cattabeni was ordered to be tried with her as her ac-
complice. After repeated postponements granted on
Mme. Renconi'e demand, the trial of the pair took place
yesterday (Jan. 2), before the Tribunal of Correctional
Police.
When the case was called, Mine. Ronconi did not
appear, but Cattabeni presented himself. M Cr6mieux,
advocate of Ronconi, said that the prods verbal of the
commissary of police clearly proved that Mme. Ronconi
and Cattabeni had been guilty of adultery, and that, be-
sides, they made no attempt to deny their glint; but,
notwithstanding, Ronconi did not wish to have his wife
severely punished, but merely subjected to such a con-
demnation as should enable him to obtain a separation
from her. With respect to her allegation that he had
forced her into the arms of Cattabeni, by his adultery
with a woman named Carmen, the learned counsel as•
sured the Tribunal that it was utterly false, for that no
such person as Carmen existed. The fact was that Ron-
coni had obtained proofs that his wife was unfaithful to
him, and he determined to separate from her ; but fear-
ing the ridicule which is generally heaped on a deceived
husband, he resolved to feign a passion for another wo-
man, in order to make it appear that the separation was
caused by his misconduct. He therefore arranged with his
wife to write letters to an imaginary mistress professing the
most ardent love for her, and another letter to his wife de-
claring that, in consequence of that love for another, he
could no longer live with her. With these letters Mme.
Ronconi was to have gone before the Civil Tribunal, and
to have demanded a separation ; Ronconi, on his part,
making no opposition. But she afterwards refused to
fulfil these conditions, and calumniated her husband in
the newspapers. Extraordinary as the statement about
the non-existence of Mlle. Carmen was, the learned ad-
vocate assured the Tribunal that it was strictly true,
and, as a proof of it, he stated that Mlle. Carmen was
iso other than the heroine of a novel by Paul Feval, en-
titled "Les Amours de Paris." Ho concluded by pass•
ing a high encomium on Ronconi, and by stating
that at the very time his wife was attacking him in
a shameful way before the Tribunals of Paris he was,
at the risk of his own life, attending the victims of
chrlera at Granada. M. Langlais then rose to pre-
sent the defence of Madame Ronconi, but the Pre-
sident remarked that, as she was not present, he
could not be allowed to speak. The advocate, how-
ever, said that she was certain to appear in a
few minutes, and he proceeded to allege that he had
letters and papers proving that Ronconi was even worse
than his wife had represented. M. Ciecinieux remarked,
with some heat, that, as he had shown indulgence to
Mme. Ronconi, it was unjustifiable in her advocate to
assail her husband. The President said that, as Mine.
Ronconi did not appear, her advocate must be prevented
continuing to address the Court. He then called on
Cattabeni for his defence, but that person offered none ;
he, however, in answer to a question, remarked that Ise
had undergone thirty-five days' imprisonment whilst
awaiting his first trial.
M. Langlais attempted to get the case postponed, in
order to allow Madame Ronconi time to appear, but the
Tribunal refused, and it condemned her by default to
three months' imprisonment, and Cattabeui to eight
days of the same punishment. A few minutes after
Madame Ronconi arrived, and M. Langlais begged that
the condemnation by default might be set aside, and
that he might be heard on her behalf.
M. Cremieux, being appealed to, made no objection ;
and after Mine. Ronconi had, in an answer to the usual
questions, stated her name, that her age was 35, and
her profession that of a dramatic artiste, M. Langlais
entered into a mass of details to prove that Ronconi
waswas thesh e cause

by her courage and energy enabled him to contend
against the difficulties which beset him as director of the
Italian Theatre in 1848; and he asserted that he had let-
ters which showed clearly that Ronconi. bad encouraged
his wife's adultery with Cattabou, but he said that they
were of such a nature that he could not read them. He
therefore demanded the acquittal of Mme. Ronconi, as
the law does not allow a husband who has encouraged a
wife's misconduct to complain of her.
The Tribunal, after hearing M. Cremieux, decided
that the sentence to three months' imprisonment must
be confirmed.—Ualignants Messenger.

PROPOSED INTRODUCTION OF CON-
VICTS INTO NATAL.

We have ad. vices from Cape Town to Nov. 9. The
Cape Colony is in a quiet state.
A. number of the inhabitants of Natal have petitioned
the Queen that convicts, not being ticket-of-leave men,
may be sent out to be employed on the improvement of
the harbour, and on other public works, accompenied at
the same time by a sufficient force of troops to guard and
control the convicts and protect the free inhabitants. A
counter petition, deprecating the introduction of convicts
into the colony, has also been numerously signed.
In this second petition it ur,cred that a loan of money
would more effectually and satisfactorily accomplish the
object (the improvement of the harbour), and that with-
out entailing upon this young colony the many evils con-
sequent upon making it in any shape a penal settlement.
The petitioners also say that the white population of the
district, estimated at 6,000, is at present scattered over
an area as great as that of Scotland, houses being fre-
quently many miles distant from their nearest neigh-
bours, and yet, by the blessing of God and the protection
of your Majesty's name, lives in a state of security.
That the most public and the most private roads are day
and night safely traversed by single and unarmed
travellers ; while property, often of great value, it

WALT AND WINE.—A commissioner of the Insol-
vent Debtors' Court, one of the wittiest men of the day,
was dining lately in company with Mr. Wakley, the
well•known coroner. "Do you like that wine, Wakley ?"
asked the commisioner. " Very good, indeed," said
Wakley. " Ah," said his friend, " being a coroner, I
thought you'd like it. Therc'e a body in it."
