The Sun. — 1862-08-11 (London, England)

THE SUN, LONDON, MO \IDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1862.  Hero's new enterprise appears to all of us mere lookers on, undoubtedly—and rash even to the last degree of rashness. But, if GARIBALDI lacks everything in the way of disinterestedness—his Honesty, his Guilelessness, his Heroism, are beyond the limits I of exaggeration.  Since writing the above this afternoon, another Telegram has just been flashed to us from the Continent. It announces the simultaneous outburst of a new rallying-cry among the populace in the North of Italy, and in the South of Italy, at Genoa and in Sicily. "Down with RATAZZI 1" It is significant. Should the cry extend or get echoed North, South, East, West, in the Roman peninsula the Minister will have to thank himself for the difficulty into which he has blundered. A difficulty it now threatens to be to Signor RATAzzi none the less formidable of its kind, for inasmuch': as this new cry of, "Down with RATAZZI !" is coupled in one quarter with another cry of, " Viva VICTOR Milan:rm., and GARIBALDI !" Once, again, fairly identify the interests of the KING and the Hero, and down will go the French Italian Minister!  We do not like needlessly to find fault with our courts of justice; but more things have been done lately than usual,.which should hardly be passed  over in silence.  We have already adverted to FLOOD'S case, con, victed by a Sussex jury of murder without recom mendation to mercy, although the judge hinted that such a recommendation would be attended to : it was also beyond dispute that the man bore an excellent character, and had been driven to half intoxicate himself, and, in that condition, to murder, by a series of regimental brutalities, and by the fear and threat of their renewal from'the person whom he shot. The man cannot be hanged, and if the feeling of the country is to be respected, we may hope that as a lesson to the real authors of the murder, his brutal comrades—he will be punished only for manslaughter. It is singular that Sussex also furnished the jury who acquitted another deliberate murderer, because, though he killed a man, it was not the man whom he intended to kill. Another case is what, so far as we can judge from the reported evidence, is a most unwarrantable one of admitting to bail. Rape is a crime which every woman, every father, brother, and husband, feel to be hardly second to murder. It was, till very lately, dealt with in the same way. In aggravated cases, it richly deserves hanging. Yet Mr. WOOLEYCH, however, admits to bail, and on easy terms too, a Mr. JUPP, whom the evidence, as we now have it, both of the police and of the respectable young servant girl, prove to have been guilty of a most violent and successful assault on the girl's honour. If screams, fainting, hysterics, and insensibility were not presumptive evidence that Jun, had been guilty of a crime which merits the severest penalties society can inflict, we know not what would be evidence. If the poor girl had been the daughter of a member of Parliament, or of a Bishop, Mr.WooLßYcli's conduct would have been questioned in the House of Lords and the House of Commons ; and the Home Secretary would have been as indignant and active, as when Mr,
