THE KUPDERS' AT WALWQRTH.  LATER' PARTIOULALS. —(TEW DAY.) The sensation created this (Wednesday) morning throughout the whole of the parishes of Newington and Camberwell has been such that it would be di/Begat adequately to describe it. Immense crowds of spectators haye besieged the front of the house, all making applications to see it, but although large mita of money have been offered by many to satisfy their morbid taste not one individual has been allowed to enter.  Mr. Thomas Cooke, the head beadle of Newington and summoning officer for the coroner, has been actively engaged in getting up the evidence to be laid before the coroner at the inquest, which will be formally opened by Mr. William Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, to-morrow (Thursday) morning, at half-past 10 o'clock. Since the reception of the alleged murderer in gaol, he has maintained the same defence as when before the maManatee. His mother did not like his intended marriage, and out of revenge had murdered his intended, and for fear of being found out had murdered his two brothers, and would no doubt have asamesinated him, and then have committed suicide, leaving her husband to suffer when he returned home for allowing the nnforI tunate young woman, Mary Wells Streeter, to stay in the hone° pending the marriage. He had no doubt but he was the moving instrument in causing her death, but if he had not done what he did he would also have been killed. The unfortunate Mary Streeter was the niece of a police-constable, named Spice, who formerly belonged to the station-house at Stone's-end, Borough. The poor creature only arrived in London the previous morning, and that was owing to the representations made by prisoner that all the preliminaries had been settled for their marriage. As soon as that was consummated, he intended to take her away from his parents' house into the country, where he was going into business as a fanner. It is commonly said that the prisoner, if lie really coinnutted the murders, must have been mad at the time, but those who have him in custody say that his conversation Is anything but like that which is expected from a madman. There is only one sign approximating to the semblance of inanity, which is the coolness displayed by him, se if nothing had happened in his family. Although the cause of death is so apparent, yet it is necessary for the ends of justice to have some of the bodies opened, and Mr. Carter, the coroner. has given orders that a post mortem examination of two of the bodies should be made this day, so that the precise mum of death may without idly difficulty be swore to.

THE MURDER IN SHOREDITCII.--SUICIDE 07 THE MURDIERCIL—The police continued their exertions until two o'clock yesterday to find the man Redden, but no clue whatever could be traced of him until about ten o'clock, when the body of a man was dragged tip by the towing rope connected with a barge which was being navigated on the Begeut's-canal. Ha was got out on to the towing-path. The hands were found to be firmly tied round with a pocket-handkerchief, as if to prevent his struggling and to hasten death. A police-constable was called and the deceased was placed upon a stretcher and oonveyed to the dead-house at the rear of the Shonalitch Workhouse, Kingsland-road, where it was immediately identified as being that of the murderer of the woman Hart. The deceased', cap had been found floating in the canal some distance from the spot where the body was discovered, and them is no doubt that he committed suicide by leaping off the bank near the coal wharf, which is easily reached Iran the main mad. It has bees ascertained that Redden went to the house of the deceased woman's sister (Mrs. Webb), residing at No. 6, Holloway-grove, at 2 o'clock on ?nearby morning, and knocked at the front door. The window was opened by Mr. Webb, who asked who it was, when Reddest replied, "It Is Joe." He wished to come upstairs, but he was informed that he could not be admitted at that hoar. He spoke in • low voice, and said that Mrs. Webb's sister was dying. He was not sober, but knew what he was about. He then went away, and it is supposed that he must have shortly afterwards committed self-destruction. The brother of Redden, and several other relatives, called at the workhouse yesterday afternoon, and identified the body.—An inquest was opened on the body of the murdered woman, Ellen Hart (who was stated to be 41 years of age), at the Black Horse Tavern, Hingsland-roail, but no addl. two was made to the fact, which we published yesterday.

AUSTRIAN STATESMEN AND HUNGARIAN  PATRIOT/3.  (From the Correspondence Bedlierj  PERTH, Arm, 26.  The Austrian Minister of Finance haa committed suicide because he was implicated in the Eynatten fraud. The general watchword, ille qui pest (Steal who can), which now, in Austria, generally precedes the other motto, "Saute qui pert" (Save who can), the accomplishment of which everyone is expecting, clearly shows how strong was even the conviction of the imperial ministers themselves in the inevitable downfall of the empire, and that they all trusted that the evidence of their peculation. would disappear amidst the general crash. Otherwise the complicity of the most influential men with the shameful frauds could not possibly be accounted for. The dealings of Baron Bruck are throwing new light on the interior state of Austria. Amidst the misfortunes under which we are groaning, it is a comfort to know that history will not fail to draw a comparison between the patriots who have governed Hungary in times of greatest ditScultice, and our present rulers. Thus, M. Kossuth, first Minister of Finance, then Governor of Hungary, went into exilewith pore Minds and empty pockets, ands obliged to sup=hicself and his family by arduous work. Mr. who, under Kessuth's government, was eninsetted witht e Finance Ministry, left this high trust a poor man, so completely so that at this very day he is living on alas offend to him by some patriots. The Hungarian government, who had to set on foot an army of yearly 100,000 men (a portion of which was formed into 30 cavalry eats), spent for the entire armament, clothing. matartal,and provisions of this large force, which it had to lead against the combined forces of Russia and Austria, and for the whole outlay of the civil service, not more than 7,200,0001. sterling during the whole year the war of independence lastsaL And this was done in a period when no minutes of accounts could be controlled.
