sill, in which position it was held by Twitchell
while his wife ran down stairs and out into tho
yard, Immediately under the window. When
she reached this position Twitchel quietly
lowered the body into the arms Of his wife, by
whom it was laid at length upon the pavement.
In this way he accounted for the circumstance
that the body was not found thrown together
as it might have been If hurled violently from
the window. but LAID out in straightened posi-
ton. Tw'tchell concluded by saying that he
supposed the blood came upon his clothing by
his having bold OF the murdered woman in the
manner described Mrs. Moore inquired what
became of Camlla's clothing2 How was it that
it was not as bloody as yours? To this he
responded that her clothing was carried off.
In the face Of all these confessions, Mrs.
Twitchell has remained quiet. She realized
that if she denied the story while her husband
was alive, she would be accused OF an attempt
to insure his death. She was willing not to
tell what she knew if that would be of any SER
vice to him. She was aiso willing to assist him
to the extent Of her means, but whom he wish
ed her to go step further and assert herself
guilty of crime she did not commit, she left
him.
1t is anticipated that in few days Mrs.
Twitchell will make q full statement in her own
behalf.

BANQUET TO CHARLES D1oKENl


LIVERPOOL. April 1O-M Midnight banquet
to Charles Dickens was given this evening at
st. Georges Hall, in this city. About seven
hundred gentlemen sat down to The table, and
there were also many spectators. The hall
was gracefully decorated with flags anil ban
ners. The proceedings were characterized
throughout with good feeling and enthus iasm,
Sir Henry Houghton aud Hepworth Dixon
presided. After the usual toasts had been
drunk, Lord Duferin made pleasant speech.
He regretted that Mr.. Dickens had 1t entered
the field Of politics. He would have been q
power i'll the House of Commons, and q
fellow peer OF Macaulay. Lord Lytton,
at length, in glowing terms, proposed
the health Of Charles Dickens, when Mr..
Dickens arose, aud. with much emotion,
responded. He said he felt he was unable to
do Justice to his feelings. Liverpool, after
London, was always foremost in his estimation.
She was always ready to respond, open-hand-
ed and muni6cently, to oil appeals for aid to art
and literature Referring to the remarks Of
Lord Defferln, Mr. Dickens said that, after
mature deliberaton he had decided to stand
and fall by literature, and not to enter politics.
Thus far he had not regretted his decision.
Anthony Trollope also responded to q senti-
ment. He eu.cgzed Washington Irving, Mr..
Motley, and the American people. The latter
were always willing to recognize publicly tho
honor due to literary men. He closed by
limiting that the appointment or Charles Dick
ems as Minister to Washington might be bene.
fetal to both countries.
FRANCE.
PARIS, April 10. In the Senate to-day, the
defensive measures proposed by the govern
ment were generally approved. Marshal Neil
said it was the duty Of the country in time of
peace to secure it's safety. The army might be
placed on peace footing, and If it were need
ed. could rapidly pass to war footing. In
the Corps egislatif, NJ. De Lavallette made q
long and peaceful speech, which he ended with
the following words: ''It is thu policy OF
France to maintain resolutely dignifed
peace"
