Mr. iriggs was found soon after, lying on the ails, still breathing, but unconscious, and Deing known to the railway officials, he vas taken to the nearest inn, where he lied the next evening. Tho alarm, howiver, had previously been given by two gentlemen who, at a subsequent station, ;ot into the compartment recently occupied by Mr. Briggs, and found the seat md flooring covered with blood. A hat, itick and black bag were also found in the jarriage, the latter of which were indentiied as belonging to Mr. Briggs; the former was afterwards identified as belonging lo Mullcr. The murderer had exchanged hats with his victim, and this fact materially aided in convicting bim. The oar was cleared of passengers, locked up, and forwarded to Bow Station for examination by the police. Now, if Muller had not been actuated by a paltry love of display, he would, in all probability, have cscapcd to America, and his detection would have been rendered exceedingly difficult; if not impossible. But Providence generally contrives that great criminals shall do some apparently trivial act whereby a clue may be given to their detection. It was so in Muller's case. He remained at home the next day (Sunday) with his landlord and landlady, and kept very quiet. But on Monday morning he took the stolen ohain to Mr. Death, a jeweller, in Chcapside, and exchanged it for another of less value and a gold ring, the two articles being put up in a small box bearing Mr. Death's name on the inside. He then, like a fop, went to his friends, the llepsches, wearing the chain and ring and Mr. Briggs' hat (a new one). They, knowing his circumstances, were much i | surprised at this display, and asked him .Correspondence of tbe North American.] '10w 'le ccaul® possessed of so much finery. The Case of Muller.

Once more to Thee our songs we raise, With reverence be Thy name adored, Whilst we, Thy children, sound Thy praise. We need not dwell farther on details.— ] Suffice it to saj, that Muller was put upon ' his trial on Thursday, the 27th Ootober, at the Central Criminal Court, London.— He was defended by three of the ablest counsel of the criminal law bar. He «u offered a juiy composed of six Englishmen and six foreigners, but he preferred being tried by a jury oomposed entirely of Englishmen. The trial lasted three days; ther only defence that could be at all available was an ilibi; but this broke down almost as soon as set up. The jury were only fifteen minutes in making up their mind, and a verdiot of guilty, entirely concurred in by the two presiding judges, sealed the doom of the wretched Franz Muller. Sentence of death was passed upon him, and his execution was fixed to take place ou the 14th November. The fortitude of the unhappy man gave way entirely on the announcement of his fate; and we believa that the German Society for the protection of their own Countrymen are much dissatisfied at the result; but this is natural, seeing that they had been at the entire expense of the defenoe. Still we may ask whether, after all, the worst use to whioh yon can put a man is " not to haog him." 103 MURRAY, near WEST St. GEO. W. BRAINERD, D HEW YORK. DAVID BELDEN J INCORPORATED 1794.

The masonry is first-class at all points, and the graduation is in keeping with the magnitude and importance of the road, which is estimated to become the great highway of nations. Arched culverts, stone abutments and piers for the bridges, wide embankments and cuts—everything is in harmony with the general character of the work, the greatest of modern times. From Omaha west to the filkhorn River —a distance of eighteen miles—the earthwork is heavy, and on this portion of the line the maximum grade is 00 feet to the mile. At the Elkhorn River the Platte Valley oommences—and thence, for a distance of 500 miles. The graduation of the road will be accomplished with less expense than upon any equal distance of railway line ever constructed in the world. At no point, for the distanoe we have named, will there be a cut or a fill of five feet—and what is equally important, in the management and working of the road, there will not be a dozen curves, and the average grade will be less than five feet to the mA* —the maximum not exceeding six feet. From Omaha to the Elkhorn River the graduation will be performed chiefly with picks, shovels and self loading carts—and on this portion of line the work will be continued daring the common winter at all the heaviest cuts. West of Elkhorn the oompany are using patent exoavators drawn by eight yoke of oxen each. Three of these exoavators average half a mile of grade per day. Already some twelve or fifteen miles of track have been made ready for the ties and iron by these machines, which, we are informed, work admirably. The heavy work on the first eighteen miles will be nearly or quite finished by the first of May next; and there is every prospeet that the iron-horse will reaoh the Loup fork of the'Platte, at Columbus, eighteen miles west of this oity, by the first oi November next—From the Omaha (Neb) Republican, Oct. 21.
