YR s 5 es. Torwasow-..Moralae. 101. 106 Ma LONDON, THU RSDA Y, SEPTEMBER 18. Arrsit a long delay, during which the most I contradictory rumours have been circulated, it is at length announced that the Italian Government has decided to bring GARIBALDI to trial before the ordinary Courts of Assize. This determination of the Itarrazzi Cabinet to prosecute their illustrious , prisoner is intimated to the public through the Official Gazette of Turin, and may therefore, we presume, be accepted as at all events a provisional , decision of the Government on this most weighty and important question. For the sake of Italy we venture, however, to hope and believe that this will not be the final decision of the Government; and we do this the more confidently, not only because it is notorious that an influential section of the Cabinet has from the first strenuously opposed this harsh and uncalled for measure, but also because the grounds on which it is said to I have been adopted will not bear a moment's serious ' examination. According to the current rumour, the notion of an amnesty, which had been at first favourably entertained by the Government, I was strongly resisted by two distinguished generals on the ground that a public trial was necessary to I satisfy the army. The decision in favour of this I course is accordingly attributed to the strong re presentations of these officers, the Government having accepted the alternative of a prosecution as a kind of military necessity. We are glad that a supposition so injurious to the soldiers of Italy 1 exists only as a rumour. That the army or the I officers, as a body, should for a moment demand the trial of GARIBALDI for treason is, we are con fident, a gratuitous slander against the high cha racter of both. The Italian army is thoroughly loyal and patriotic, and the only crime his bitterest enemies can allege against GARIBALDI is that of representing those noble qualities in excess. He has not only fought for the independence of his country, but actually delivered its fairest pro vinces from an odious tyranny. But with chi valric loyalty he transferred his conquests to the sovereign under whose banner he had fought, and voluntarily retired from the scene of his labours and his glory without conventional dis ti nction or material reward. Every soldier in the royal army not only shares in the motives and inspirations of the national hero, but is proud of belonging to the country that produced him. In his recent unfor tunate expedition GARIBALDI was animated by the same simplicity of motive, the same noble purity of purpose. He took the field not only for Vic-roa EMMANUEL, but, as he believed, with his sympathy and support. In this he was mistaken. But the task of undeceiving him, of forcibly arresting his progress on the slope of Aspromonte, was the moat painful that Italian troops led by an Italian officer could possibly have been called on to execute. To have served their country by such a terrible sacrifice of personal feeling would be suffi cient for brave and generous men. They would desire or accept no other satisfaction or reward for such a service. The thought of being praised or decorated by a foreign Government for an act of domestic duty so inexpressibly painful would of course be simply revolting. Aud the idea of pursuing any further the illustrious victim, whose only fault was that of loving his country not wisely but too well, would be instantly resented as a cruel outrage. That the noble soldier at whose side they had fought should be wounded, suffering, and a prisoner, is satisfaction ample and bitter enough for the generous soldiers of the royal army. And if the demand for GARIBALDI'S prosecution is urged in their name, the world will naturally con clude that this affected zeal for professional honour is little better than a pretext for the grati- Scstion of a far less worthy feeling—that of pro fessional jealousy. Passing over, however, these alleged grounds for a formal prosecution, it is more important to observe that the trial, if it really takes place, must be a most disastrous event for Italy both at home and abroad. Its influence on the domestic state and foreign relations of the new kingdom can hardly fail to be of the most serious and mischievous kind. The great object of the Italian Government at home should obviously be to harmonise rival factions, and to conciliate as far as possible the hearty support of all classes of the people. This can only be done by a firm and consistent, but at the same time a thoroughly patriotic and generous, policy. But if such a course is adopted, if extreme and violent measures are carefully avoided, there is sufficient patriotism amongst all political parties in the peninsula to rally them in support of the Government. And it is notorious that during the last two years much in the way of united and harmonious action had been effected by this means. Discordant elements were gradually harmonised, the extreme sections of political opinion were softened by working together kyr objecis, Any something like effec tive organization was being introduced into the hitherto divided national life. The policy of the present Cabinet has not tended to further actively this salutary process of political fusion and social organization. And the exceptional rigour which the Government was unfortunately compelled to exercise in suppressing GamitaLor's recent movement Lea for the moment arrested ft. Surely, under these circumstances, the true policy THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENMI-; SEPTEMBER lB, 1802:. of the Government is to efface all active remem brance of these painful events,and asamsga the bitterl feelings they have excited, as soon ible. A general amnesty would be the a /t a t i because the most certain and expeditious means of accom plishing this essential end. On the other hand, a trial would not only prolong the period of national excitement and suspense, but would inevitably rouse the passions of rival political parties, and exasperate the already wounded feelings of the people. It would in this way prove • national calamity far more serious than the conflict at Aspromonte. The prosecution of G&RIBALDI would be sure also to tell with injurious and fatal effect in another way. It would be attributed to foreign influence, and this conviction would suffice to set Italy in a flame from one end to the other. GARIBALDI, the heroic soldier, the devoted patriot, is the very genius of national freedom and independence. He has protested in loud and energetic tones against foreign influ ence, asserting that Italy ought to be mistress of her own destiny. He has protested most loudly of all against that worst form of foreign influence, the occupation of Rome, and denounced the ruler who by means of it has laboured to thwart the as pirations of the nation, and break up the unity of the national life. His rash expedition was simply a practical expression of this protest. It was ill. advised, and has been promptly and easily sup pressed. There is no further danger on this head. But if, after all he has suffered, GARIBALDI should still be brought to trial, this extreme measure will be attributed to the influence of the potentate he has offended. It would be re garded as a vindictive act on the part of • foreign, and, as events seem to show, an un friendly Power. And no Italian Government could stand before the indignation that would be aroused by the suspicion of its complicity in so humiliating and disgraceful a transaction. In a word, the prosecution of GARIBALDI would be re garded as an act of fatal subserviency to France, and in this point of view would be a terrible blew to the hopes and prospects of the nation. THE MANCHESTER MEMORIAL TO THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT. The committee for the erection of this memorial have at length determined upon the architectural design of the covering for the statue by Mr. Noble, which is to be presented by Mr. Goadsby, the mayor, to bin fellow. citizens. The erection may be described as a square canopy of whit* stone, open at the four sides, the openings spanned by lofty pointed arches, each surmounted by a high-pitched gablet, above which a tall spinet roof will rise to a total height of 75 feet, At each of the four angles will be square buttresses and pinnacles of rich and elaborate design. The style is of that period of medieval architecture which prevailed at Florence and throughout 'rnsoany between the ages of Brunelleachi and Giotto. The basement of the canopy will be divided into two stages, the upper of which will be filled with a aeries of panels, five on each side, encircled with armorial bearings. Each buttress will contain a shield emblazoned with the arms of the late prince surmounted by coronets. On the inner edge of the arches there will be an effective crisping. The sloping edges of the archway will be enriched with clustered spiral columns of Purbeck marble. On the tops of the columns and piers will be enriched capi tals of elaborately carved foliage ; and from these will spring the spiral moulding of the arches, which is to ee of the same character as that of the pillars below. Upon each of he pier., or buttresses, will stand a pinnacle divided into two stages, the lower stage to be decorated with spiral marble columns terminated with gargoyles and the upper stags of the pinnacle to bean open canopy supported on simi lar spiral columns, and the upper portion greatly enriched with tracery, foliated finials, and erocketting. FAA of the four pinnacle canopies will contain a statuette, of which the subject is not yet decided. Each gablet will be terminated by a figure of an angel blowing a. trumpet. The goblets are to be enriched with arabesques in basso.relievo, and the centre is to be pierced with a circular opening filled with light tracery and two intersecting equilateral triangles. The spirit roof is to be octagonal, and terminated with a metal coronet. There is to be a grille around the basement, divided into compartments filled with quatrefoils. The building will stand elevated above the pavement on five steps, each about 12 inches high. The outside of the greatest projection of the steps is to be 35 feet ; that of the actual building 19 feet- the height of the basement 13 feet 6 inches ; the height of the pedestal of the statue of the prince 21 feet from the pavement, and the total height from the pavement to the top of the metal termina tion of the apiret roof, 73 feet. The design, of which the above details are given, is by Mr. Thomas Worthington, architect, of Manchester. The rite chosen is in front of the Infirmary, between the two fountains. The cost in esti mated at from 4,0004 to 5,0001. The states which this erection is to cover will be of Sicilian marble, 8 feet 2or 3 inches high, and will represent the prince in the robes of the Garter, with a oopy of the rules of the order in hie hand. . . _ Atit meeting of the committee, held at Manchester yes terday, the Mayor who mulled, stated that some ten or twelve days ago dr. Noble, by command of the Queen, submitted to her Majesty the design for the proposed erec tion. Her Majesty spent some time in examiclog the de tails, and expressed very great satisfaction with the design, is> iog furthermore that she thought nothing of the kind more beautiful or more appropriate could be suggested. Her Majesty was also gratified to learn that the design was by • gentleman (Mr. Worthington) to whom the Prince Consort had presented the Iris medal for architectural design. Lord Palmerston arrived at his seat at Broad. lands, near Ramsey, on the 15th inst. The Duchess of Inverness, who has been suffer ing from indisposition for some days past, is now much better.

A beautiful stained window, of appropriate de sign, has been placed in Wilton church, by the inhabitants, to the memory of Lord Herbert. The following inscrip tion is at the base ;—" In memory of Sidney Baron Her bert of Lea," and on a brass-plate beneath, "The people of Within pee this window in honour and love of Sidney Herbert, first lord Herbert of Lea, founder of this church, who died the 22nd day of August, 1861. ' The memory of the just is blessed.'" On Monday 240 emigrants of a superior class em barked for Queensland in the Duke of Newcastle, at Queens town. They were selected by the Rev. Dr. Quinn, Dublin, brother to the Roman Catholic Bishop of Brisbane, Queens. land. The government inspection took place at 3 o'clock, after which there was a dejellner in the saloon, at which a number of ladies and gentlemen from Cork were enter tained. A classification of passenger was made with a view to guard the morals of the passengers. The married per. lions were placed in the middle of the vessel to bar the corn. muoic ition brtween the unmarried of both sexes, the young men being located at one end of the vessel, and the young women at the other. A Silesi.tu resident at Calcutta favours the papers of his native Breslau with a biography of Humboldt in the Hindu dialect. The concluding lines of the biography will famish an id. a of the author's style and manner of thought : "He was planted in the garden of Chita, who tended him with especial ears in return for the love be bestowed upon her children (the plants). She would tale have preserved him as loos spa poisil le for her garden ; hut, as he grow older, he increased in fragrance, until his odour finally roes to the thrum of Brahma, and the great god called him to his own celestial groves.

A Turin correspondent writing on Moeit a says : " I told you in one of my last letterer t the Roman question approached a solution ; and yes terday my statement was confirmed by royal lips. Yesterday (Sunday) a deputation of the provincial council of Forli brought an address to the King in congratulation upon the success over the Gari baldians. In handing that document to the King, the Marquis Albicini, president of the deputation, made an eloquent speech, in which he said that 'the populations saw in the triumph of public order the assurance of the de finitive and early triumph of the Italian cause ; that Rome was the necessary crowning of the national edifice, and that they might rely upon the King and his government shortly entering into possession of the eternal city.' The King replied in that firm and resolute tone which characterises all his operations : Tell the populations to be tranquil and to have every confidence ; before the end of this year we shall be at Ronk; I beg you to say too to all your fellow citizens.' The deputation withdrew much moved by the royal words. It is from one of the members that I have received the foregoing particulars." EXP] FROM PARIS. (nos one OWN colazarosnorr.) PARIS, Winssowsr Ventura. It is curious that while the &rick treats M. Limayrac's suggestion in the Constituticninet that the Pope should be taken at hie word, when he asserts that he poeticises the affection of his sub jects, as a serious warning that the French govern ment will leave him face to face with them, and evacuate Rome, the Debate considers it as a wretched joke, resorted to as a disguise for that backing out which the writer has been protesting lustily for the last week he would never be guilty of. Up to this hour nobody, so far as I can dis cover, knows whether the Constautionners mani festo, the result, it must be remembered, of long incubation, means anything or not. Thus does the Emperor, through whose various agents all these inspired paragraphs come, continue to play with the public in the gravest matters. As a liberal paper very well says, the imperial oracles are worse than the oracle of Delphos. That was ambiguous, but at any rate people knew that it was an oracle and weighed its words accordingly. But now sounds are scattered in rulgum ambiguos, and nobody is allowed to know whether they are the voices of the oracle or not. A serious consultation labont Italian affairs is about to takelplace at Biarritz. MM. Nigra and d'Azeglio are on their way, and will be joined by M. Pepoli , thegtalian minister, and the Emperor's cousin, who has arrived in Paris this afternoon, bringing with him, it is said, a pressing representa tion from the Rattazzi cabinet that it cannot hold on unless it is enabled to promise a solution within some reasonable time of the Roman question. Victor Emmanuel is reported to have said that he will be in Rome within a year. The paucity of the news by the last mail from Mexico yet dealt out to the public is much re marked upon. General de Lorencez has written to the Emperor praying to be relieved of his com mand as soon as General Forey arrives. That means, of course, that he is dismissed. The asser tion of the Prase that the Mexican expedition was to be brought up to 60,000, having been taxed by the Cotistitutionael as a gross exaggeration, and the Patric having with a show of authority stated that the whole army under General Forey does not amount to 30,000, the Prase now replies by the following figures :—General de Lorencez has at Orizaba and Vera Cruz 7,000 men; 19,680 have Lindy been sent from Toulon, and 16,000 from Cherbourg. So that up to this moment there are 42,680 French soldiers in Mexico, or 13,000 more than the number of the maximum of the force ultimately intended to be sent according to the assertion of the Patric Marshal Castellane, commandant of the army of Lyons, died in that city on Monday evening. It is with a feeling of private sorrow impos sible to disguise that I announce a death which will be bitterly felt by a large circle of my friends in Paris. Mdme. Emile 011ivier, the young, beautiful, and accomplished wife of the eloquent deputy for the Seine, died last week at her country house at St. Tropez, from the consequences of a first confinement, which took place two months ago. She was a daughter of Listz, the cele brated pianist. The Bourse was inactive during the greater part of the day, but became comparatively animated towards the close. Credit Mobilier was the favourite security to-day and rose 17fr. 50c. The Bente, after having been as much as 20e. lower, left off at yesterday's prices, 68fr. 700. and 68fr. 80c. The Southern Railway rose 7fr. 500. ; and Orleans, Lyons, and Northern, 3fr. 75c. each. Western fell 3fr. 75c. A warning has been given by the Prefect of the Gard to the Opinion du Midi for an article entitled 4 Duties of Catholics," and which declares that " it is necessary for Roman catholics to coalesce in order to obtain a protection which the French go vernment does not afford." The warning affirms that the assertion eo made is false, and that, while tending to trouble the public peace by exciting citizens against each other, constitutes a calumnious attack on the government.

Twelve natives of the Maldive islands were picked up in a boat off the Ws of Prame, and landed at St. He lms. They were afterwards taken to British Guiana with some captured Africans. From British Guiana they are to be mot batik to the Maldives in the ship Gypsy Bride which is also to take to India a batch of looolies.

The annual treat to the boys on board her Majeety's school frigate Boseawen, lying off Southampton, was given on Tuesday by Mr. G. N. Oooksey, • merchant of that town. At 11 o'clock the bop marched through the town on their way to Speer.hall-park, the seat of Mr. G- Lungley, about • mile distant. Nearly 400 boys, between 10 and 16 years of age, carrying naval flags, and preceded by a band of drums and fifes, marched along in their loose blue diem and rollicking walk, and formed • very in teresting sight. They were, of course, accompanied by their officers and schoolmaster.. During the day they were regaled with • dinner of roast and boiled beef, baked potatoes, bread and cheese, and beer, and • dessert of apples. At five o'clock in the afternoon they had plum cake and tee. They strolled about Spear-hall-park, or engaged in contests for prizes in fenc ing, running, jumping, boxing, and other athletic exercises. A large number of Mies and gentlemen visited the park during the day, amongst whom were the Mayor of Southampton, the Revs. Dr. Bradshaw, Messrs. Cotton, Fitzgerald, and Mount; Captain Nicholson, of the Adriatic ; Dr. Bond, Mr. Parfitt, the eminent naturalist, he. At a &jell ncr given by Mr. Cooksey to the visitor. Captain Campion, the commander of the Boscarren, spoke of the deep responsibility which devolved upon him in having to bring up the boys so as to become the future defenders of their country, and of the pleasure which he felt at the interest that was taken in their welfare by people on shore. During the afternoon Captain Nicholson, the Rev. Mr. Cotton, and other gentlemen engaged in fencing bouts with the fencing masters of the Boecawen. The boys returned through the town just before dark, molded by the rifle bend, which played warlike tuned, and acesapanied by a large concourse of people. The little fellows seemed highly delighted with their treat, and cheered most lustily as they Passed their benefactor's reeideons. The 13oscawen was illuminated with lamps, and the pier with rockets and blue lights when the boys embarked from the latter to return to their ship.. The health and strength of the boys are in dexed by their appetites, and the latter by the consump tion during the day of victuals which amounted to 31 cwt. of roast and boiled beef, 4 bushels of baked potatoes, liUlbs. of ibread, 44811 a. of p lum cake, 4 btisbels of apples, U gallons of co ff ee, and 4 gallons of beer.

We have received the following statement of the circumstances under which the contract of the eastern division of the refreshment department in the International Exhibition was let to Messrs. Veillard and Gueppet :—Her Majesty's Coin vaisaioners invited tenders for the two divisions of this department, reserving to themselves full power of dealing with such tenders as they might receive, without exclusive reference to the amount of the premium or recital offered. Eighteen tenders were sent in on the day appointed, of which seven were from foreign houses. The Commissioners, with a view of securing variety and competition in the two divisions of the re freshment department, were anxious to assign one of them to a foreign house ' • when, therefore, they found that Messrs. Veillard and Gueppet had not only sent in the highest tender of any foreign house, but the terms of payment which they proposed were on the whole the most advantageous that were sub mitted to them, they at once proceeded to make inquiries with respect to their spe cial qualifications for conducting so large an undertaking. They ascertained that M. Gneppet had been for 18 years manager of the Cafd de Paris, and that M. Veillard had during 11 years conducted as proprietor one of the largest pro vincial cafés in France. They further learned, through leading houses in London and Paris, that the firm of Valentin and Co., by whom they were supported in the undertaking, were of high stand ing and undoubted solvency. As the result of these inquiries, coupled with the fact that by the tender of MM. Veillard and Gueppet they bound them selves to deposit a sum of 5,01101. as premium three months before the opening of the Exhibition, they felt themselves justified in closing with their offers.

The following letter has been addressed to M. Rattazzi by some of the Garibaldian prisoners: Fort - of Monte-Ratti, neat Genoa, liept. It 1862. Sit,—The Official Gazette recently contained a note by which it appears that the government bee declared that it gave the kindest orders with respect to the prisoners of Aspromonte. The undersigned declare that they oo•sider as arbitrary and illegal the term " pri soners of war," which the government has applied to them, and which would withdraw them from the jurisdiction legally competent to try them. Upon this point, however, they reserve their protest for an opportune time, when • they will invoke the laws and principles of public right sanctioned by the statute. Meanwhile, in order that public opinion may not be led into error, and that there may exist • document to prove that the kind measures booted of by the Official Gazette, if they were ever really ordered, were not executed ; the undersigned wish to Inform the minister that so far from they and their companions being treated with distinction and respect, on the contrary, from the very ar rangement of the fort in which they are enclosed, 450 pri soners are crowded together without sufficient air or motion, prevented from walking outside the dormitories, and therefore compelled from want of space to remain always stretched, which is oontrary to the very first principles of health. The undersigned, although specially watched, out of the personal deference of the c ommandant of the fort, are shut up, to the number of 13, in a small room, three metres square, without ever being able to go out. They have not yet been able to receive • letter from their families, and they are not certain that any of the letters written by them have arrived at their address. They lie upon the ground ; they are in want of everything necessary for personal cleanliness and the preservation of health. They are rigorously refused all external communication, and it becomes every day more and more difficult for them to write or to procure any necessaries from without. This is how we are permitted to procure the conveniences to which we have been accustomed, as the Official Gazette allegee. The undersigned do not ask for any special favour for them selves from the minister, but in their own name, and in th e name of their companions, they protest against this unworthy treatment and this strange rigour, which have been suggested by an unreasonable fear. The government which treats us —us who bare taken arms for the national unity to the cry of " Italy and Victor Emmanuel "—worse than it would dare to treat the vilest criminals, is endeavour ing to excuse itself to public opinion by offi cial lies. We demand light, air, room, motion ; permission to obtain necessaries at our own expo nee, and to make known to our relations and friends where we are and how we are. Grant us this ; cease to tell lies arid to deceive our families and country. (Signed) G.

Taylor, after his coudetuuation for the murder of Mr. Evan Metier, kept upon active correspondence with his ii;:n7t. The letters 11; - wrote have uino; been forwarded to a gentleman in Manchester, by his state wbo resides at Duuster. We ManeAester Ouardian) have been fay aired by the gentleman referred to with au upper. tunity of inspecting the letters, from which we append few extracts. Miss Taylor in her communicatiou says " I have sent all the letters but one which I have mislaid. In this one he said in answer to a request which I had made to him to see one of our own minister% that he did not like to do so, as the man was a et/sager. He added, ' You know lam not very COMMIIOIO3I. ties, at the Lest of times ; but comfort yourself, 1 know the way ; man cannot carry my soul to Heaven ; religion is a personal thing between mortal man and his Maker ; but you pray for me, and be assured I do not forget to pray for myself.' Yon will see Ly his own words, that it was not a callous heart that made him object to see a minister, as the oewrpapers reported. The awful new. that he refers to in his letter of Friday was the amerce I sent him from the Secretary of State that he regretted to say he could nut interfere with the law. This, I am happy to find, did not move him. In one letter he coot. plains that I have spoken rashly to him. I had told him that he ought to love and forgive hie enemies, and grieve for having sent poor !defier unprepared, I fear, into the presence of his Maker. I told bun that. I should have but little hope of him while he continued to justify himself in what he bad done. I also told him that I thought Martha did not love the dear children as I did, or she never would have consented to their death. This is what he calla rash. Imu glad to &rad by his last be owns that he wen wrong, and forgives and millhis enemies."—The brat letter is dated a August 27, 1862." It announces the departure of his wife from Liverpool, and her antral at liatherlfth with ber uncle. He adds :—" My health bears up my heavy trials. I am informed that it is appointed for me to die on Saturday fortnight. If so, I hope God will support and strengthen me and receive my spirit. I hope you are doing all in your power to secure so me my life and a free pardon and restoration. You know the ex. tenuating circumstances of the case, but the law is broken, but do all in your power. and then you will have no painful reflectioas that if you had dose so and so my life may have been spared, bat if all is done that can be done, and after that soy life is taken, you must submit. I hope to be restored, but I await the event with fortitude and resignation. lam within theme walla, and can do but little or nothing. I have petitioned the Seen tary of State and memorialised her Majesty. I can do no more, and I doubt not but my dear wife is doing all in her power at Whicantou with the matter among her friends, May God crown the efforts with seomme, defend the right, an avenge the innocent. I Jo now desire life, but I fear not death. I can look beyond the grave with feelings that are not disagreeable. I heed not ask you to pray for me. I know you have my spiritual welfare to heart. I can feel all the anguish that distresses you on my account. lam truly sorry that I should be the cause of so much pain of mind. Remember me kindly to all who may inquire after me. Do write to me soon, and tell me whether anything has been done, and what his been done at Dangler in the matter. Do write to Martha, and console her all in your power. Ido feel for you all, and my dear aged father is for ever before my eyes. I saw the anguish of his soul at the Town-hall. M.!Ly God bless bun." The next letter is dated Awe! 28, 1862, and it. it he alludes to the murdered children : " Your note to hand. lain sorry you are so ill, but you are too rash. You know not the cauae of the death of the dear children. Martha loved them as her own. You know my paternal feelings as well as Ido myself. It the full particulars of my case are looked into, and the cir cumstances of Seller's conduct towards us justly and fairly dealt with, I as put you and all the world in pones. don of fade that ought to have been known long ere this. Mani should have been, with my dear wife, acquitted at the bar. If lam restored, as God grant I may, I shall see your tears of sorrow mingling with ours over the loss of our dear children. Impost, • not a shadow of guilt.' Yea, sod the whole world would rejoin and re-echo the sound ' not a shadow of guilt,' and would yawn and swallow up that guilty family root and branch. I claim at the hinds of justice that consideration my case deserves. I admit that I have broken the law in taking the robber's life, had you add all the world mast know my trim's, and I am not • God ; I feel all the weakness of human nature, but I hope you will nut use such rash language. Your words are veryswords ; but I know it is from you, and, therefore, I bear them patiently, but if my life is spared you will tell me that you are sorry that you should have been so .rash. My dear, you do sot know our troubles, nor our hearth,. If you did, you would not write so mahly as you do now. I fear not the world ; they would rejoice and do all in their power to dry our tears. 1 hope the Lord will bless your efforts to restore me to you and my dear wife, and U not I submit with silence to the hand of the law—may I say, the iron Ingrid of the 14w ? No ; I hope it will be softened by sympathy, if not mercy." In the next letter, which is dated Sunday, August 30, Taylor expresses a hope that hie father will not allow sor row to weigh him down. He continues—" As each of you feel sorrow pressing sorely on yen on my account, may thia be your consolatioo— W. It. Taylor has done nothing whereof he is ashamed. Oh, that all the world did know my real position ; but watery and obeonrity envelopes the whole, and I am to fell by the iron Laud of the law. One more Sabbath and my Sabbaths on earth will bs ended. I am sorry to find so much error to have got into your mind respecting my feelings. lam not displeased with any of my friends. I am sorry that people do sot rightly understand me. I am just now in peas . with all men. I feel no envy to any man, and all that is said to me by anyone I take it with pleasure, and for what I think it is worth. las glad you have seat • petition to the Si wetary of State fir me. You do not know the effect it may have. God ruleth in the kingdom of men. Mailer murdered my four children. Can fish and blood endure it! I am prepared to convince the world of the fact. May God avenge them and support me and their loving mother, under our hervy trials. Mine. I suppose, will soon be over ; but, oh, what will be the feelings of a loving wife, and an affectionate mother. And then your own feelings, and my dear, sorrowing father's, to behold a loving husband and a son die so ignominious • death. Yes • and for what? For defend ing his wife, his helpless l ittle innocents, and his home, from the ravages of a wild beast, a perjured person, • thief, • robber, and • murderer ; and now the law says, I will assist the beast to complete his work of devastation and annihilation. A 1.., for me, my feelings are more than I can bear. Was it not for my dear wife, I should leave the world with contempt and just indignation. May God look down in mercy ion me, and east His shield around me. My ~roles thrust sorely at me, but lam just now in that state I fear not what man can do unto me. I can say all is pace, and I believe God willet assist me, and enable me to bring my affairs fairly be fore the world, but if not, the Day of Judgment will reveal the matter to their utter confusion. I tell you and all the world I desire life, and not only life, but restoration. las charged with murder and condemned, but the term is so way applicable to my case. But I will say no more. We left all the matter to the world, and now I leave all to God." The seat letter was not written until September 11. He exeunt' for not having written earlier by ranee that be had been waiting day after day hoping •' to be in • position to say something definite respecting hie real state and legal position " from • reply to a letter he bad seat to the Secretary of State. No reply had, hemmer, arrived, and he bad been informed that he was to die on the fol lowing Saturday, at twelve o'clock. The letter continues: " If so, I am ready, and shall bail with joy the light of that morsiag that will light me from time to eternity ! I have not joy, bat all is pesos. I desire not life. I the Secretary of State in my letter that restoration was all, and the only thing I could ask ; imprisonment I could not endure. I feel o bliged to my fneuds for their good feeling for me in my deep affliction. It is now the 11th of September, but I am far happier and in a better state of health, both of body and mind, than I was on the 11th of May. Do not grieve respecting me. If I die I die in peace. In leas than 48 hours I shall join the Impel spirits of those dear departed angels that we all so dearly loved. They left this world and knew no sin or pain except dear Harriet ; sad, oh ! her Pufferinp must have been excruciating. Her shrieks and groans, Dever after that fatal night, ceased to sound ID my ears ; wherever I moved her little lovely form was ever before me ; my grief consumed my flea from my bones, and I was fast dropping into the grave, and my whole powers seemed to be leaving me • but after that awful rupture of May last, my strengthi both of body and mind reassu me d its former Mete. I em now in good health, and I lay this body down with all the calmness and resignation to the will of God. I do say, Thy will be done.' 1 have no torment ing fears of death. In fact, I hail its approach with de light mad peaceful pleasure. Him my hied love to ray doer father. I do hope he will not grieve at his only son leaving this world in so ignominious a manner, to be sue. peruled between Leaven and earth by the noe as if not worthy of either. I hope you will not give way to grief. I do not, for Christ himself was so suspended, not tied op by the neck, but according to Jewish law suffered equally ignominiously • but, thank God, through faith m His death, I enjoy ihat peace which earth cannot give or take away. 1 - do feel thankful that my dear wife is where she is. I hope she will be happy. 1 could sot ' have died and left her in prison. I would mach rather have takes her to pass through the dark valley with me. if it had bees God s' pleasure ; but He has preserved her for • good purpose. Keep up • frequent correspoedenoe with her, and you will feel bound to love her rod and great soul. I could now with all thankfulness endure any amount of suffering abed pain for her sake. After I am no more, she will darer* consolation ; the world to her will be a void. This, I suppose, will be my last address to you. May we all soon meet with those we love where sorrow and sighing will flee away, and farewell a sound un knowa." On the day before the execution, Taylor again wrote 46 follows :" Your note of the 10th instant to hand. I am i to tell you that the awful intelligence it co utaieel ra P iee move me in the least.
