MOH WAIIDI AT LONDON ILLEDOL MIS DAT Nandm AIL itsa To-Nozaow —Nantes, OA .ANAramA 71 UNA LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 11. Taos difference in the French and English ways of treating criminals is not limited to the trials in court, but extends to the oell and the scaffold. It would shock us to know that the vilest murderer went to bed with hopes of mercy, and was awakened out of • sound sleep by a turnkey, told his fate, and executed within half-an-hour. Yet this was exactly the experience of the wretched La Pom- IMLAIN who suffered for his crime on Thursday last. The man had been found guilty of • foul murder, and not a single ream could be assigned why, in • country where capital punishment is inflicted, his life should be spared. Still he had some faint hopes of mercy. He had friends who might presume somewhat on their influence, and who actually put it to the test. We refrain from speaking of the high connexions he had been ►ble to form, and of a consultation to which he had found admission in the case of a person of distinction. Up to Wed nesday night he clung to the hope that the efforts made on his behalf might be successful, and retired to rest in that trust. "At half-past five," our correspondent writes, "the grefier of the Imperial " Court entered his cell and found him in bed and " sound asleep. He woke him up, told him that " his petition to the EItPLROR for • pardon had " been rejected, and that he had now nothing to " hope but from the mercy of GOD, and must pre " pare to die at once." This is indeed to make death terrible. A contemporary yesterday un dertook the difficult tank of conveying an idea of the fearful suffering which this war is causing to the people of America, and adopted for that purpose a computation based en the Egham catastrophe. But, as we all know, a battle in which • thousand men fall does not excite two hundred times as much horror as the casualty at Egham. Soldiers in • campaign expect battles, and enter them with emotions which prepare them more or less to face death. It is the suddenness of the event, occurring as if by a treachery of nature, just when the mind had abandoned itself securely to pleasure, that makes an accident like that of Tuesday last so horrible. And it is this same suddenness which in the eyes of most Englishmen will be thought to have constituted an intense and extra-legalaggravation of the punishment of La P 030131.413. This, however, may be disputed from some points of view. To some minds there is almost cold-blooded cruelty in the opposite practice of the Americans, who keep • criminal twelve and eighteen months in gaol tinder sentence of death and then bring him out for execution. We suspect it will be found that the treatment of La Post lIERAIS shocks us most owing to the operation of religious feelings, while the American system offends more against the feelings of nature. In the British army • " short shrift " is considered as adding to the horror of an execution, because our soldiers believe in Goo and immortality. A Chinese soldier, in similar circumstances, would probably not care to ask for delay. In the Litany we pray to be delivered from sudden death, as conscious of imperfections needing a dying prayer. A late eminent judge, looking at the subject from the purely natural point of view, was accustomed to say that he thought this supplication founded in error. The practice of our own country in dealing with condemned criminals acknowledges the consideration due to religion, and allows a brief period for reflection before the criminal is driven out of the world to enter upon an unknown state; but it does not keep him in prison as in Rome until men have forgotten him and his crime, and his execution has the appearance of being a measure of gaol delivery rather than • satisfaction rendered to justice. Tr.s days ago the Tory newspapers published • report of a party dinner given by a " University " Conservative Association" at Oxford, to which they ascribed considerable importance. Archdeacon DEN mow spoke there "as 'party man," and "gloried " in addressing those who were as much party men " as himself ; " and it was there that Lord ROBERT CECIL delivered that speech which has since been noticed in the Hone. of Commons. Mr. WARD HUNT was there also, and proposed the health of Lord DERBY, who is Chancellor of the University, as " • leader in whom the rank and file of the Con servative party had the most thorough confidence," a tout which was acknowledged by Dr. WYNTER, President of St. John's, and Private Secretary to the Chancellor. The Daily News now publishes three letters which have passed between the Earl of DERBY and Professor Coan , torox on this sub ject. As the Chancellor of the University is the guardian of the interests of the whole academical body, irrespective of party, Mr. CONINOTOX RBA naturally desirous of ascertaining whether he ap proved of the act of his Private Secretary on this occasion in speaking for him in acknowledgment of a party toast. It is not suggested that any important consequences depended on the approbation or dis approbation which Lord DERBY might express, still every member of the University wishes to know how far the Chancellor values his neutrality among the parties which exist in the body. It appears that Lord DERBY approves of the function which Dr. Wrirrza assumed as the Chan cellor's Private Secretary. He does not conceive that the relation in which Dr. Wvrrza stands to him or to the University—for he is a paid officer of the University should limit his political action. Bat thus, Private Secretary may, with hi's approval, at party awntiLg, sails Vast obireoterreiicimi to a party tool is th• noble Earl's name, by the Mme ride Lord Dam himself might attend • The oonsSicadenes is merely interesting on moons% of the citrons Tory opinions expressed at the dinner, arid as showing the extent to which Lord Diner is willing to be identified with the speakers. gbe Court.

Telegraphic communication with hie army is not yet esta blished. General Grant has ordered Wilson's division to destroy the bridges on the Fredericksburg, Vir ginia, and Central Railroad. Smith's corps, from Butler's command, has reached Newcastle, on the Pamunkey River, to reinforce Grant. Breckenridge has reinforced Lee. A despatch from General Sherman states that the Confederates, diaoovering his intention to turn Altoona, met him near Dallas, where an engage ment occurred on Saturday, in which M`Pherson drove the Coufederates back, with the loss of 2,500 killed and wounded and 300 prisoners. The Federal loss was 300. A committee of the House of Representatives have considered Mr. Seward's Mexican correspond ence. The committee incline to the opinion that Conirress has a right to indicate the policy the go vernment should pursue regarding the French in Mexico. The Cleveland Convention has nominated Fremont for President and Cochrane for Vice- President, on the platform of universal freedom, the maintenance of a free press, free speech, the habeas corpus, and the Monroe doctrine.

Finding Lee's position on the South Anna very strong, General Grant made another flanking movement on Thursday night. He withdrew across the North Anna, marched to Hanover Town, and crossed the Pamunkey at that (point, occupying on Sunday *front three miles south of the Pamunkey. Lee withdrew from the South Anna on the night of Grant's movement, and took up a position north of the Chickahominy, on the Mechanicsville road, south of Totopatamoy Creek, his right rest ing on Shady Grove. The latest advice, state that on Monday evening Lee attacked Warren near Shady Grove, on Grant's left, but was repulsed with severe slaughter. To relieve Warren, Meade then ordered a general attack. Hancock alone received the order in time to attack before dark ; he drove the Confederates from their entrenched line, and still holds it. Burnside's whole corps has crossed the Totopata moy Creek, and made a junction with Warren. The Confederates were repulsed on Monday and Tuesday iu an attack upon Butler's lines and on his works at Spring-hill, east of the Appatomax.

(From tb. &mood Edition of Um Timm.) NEW YORK, MAY SL On Thursday morning Grant, discovering Lee's position between the North and South Anna rivers to be too formidable for assault, recrossed the North Anna, and, during the night, moved by the left to the Pamunky, which he crossed on Friday and Saturday at Hanover Town, 12 miles from Richmond. His official despatches from that place. to 2 p.m. on the 19th inst., report his army to be three miles south of the river. Lee is reported, upon the discovery of Grant's movement, to have swung round his left into a position confronting the Federals, and completely covering Richmond. His left (formerly his right) still holds Hanover Court House, and is under the command of General Breckenridge. Secretary Stanton announces that Butler is now acting only on the defensive, and that General Baldy Smith, with the 18th Army Corps, has been transferred, rid Fortress Monroe, to the Potomac army. Whitehouse, on the York River, is now Grant's base of supplies. Sherman reports an engagement between Mac_ pherson and the Confederates, near Dallas, on the 28th inst., in which the Confederates lost 250 men in killed and wounded, and 300 prisoners. The Federal loss is stated at 300. It is believed that General Johnston will continue to retire, and defer a general engagement until he reaches Atlanta, where he expects to be rein forced by General Polk's army. Confederates Forrest and Buford have returned to Western Kentucky. Fears are entertained of another attack upon Paducah. The Federal gunboats Granite City and Nyanga were captured in the Calcasieu River by the Con federates on the 6th inst. Secretary Stanton states that Generals Banks, Steele, and Rosecranz will remain in command of their respective departments, subject to the orders of General Canley, who has been placed in com mand of all the territory west of the Mississippi. Juin 1, 11 A.x. _ _ _ Despatches from Grant, to 6 a.m. yesterday, report that Lee made a reconnaissance of the Federal left on the previous afternoon, resulting in a sharp conflict, in which General Crawford, who had advanced nearly to filradygrove Church, at Mechanicsville, was driven back. The Confederates then retired. At the same time Grant ordered an attack by his centre and left, which was not executed, owing to the order failing to reach General Wright. Hancock, on the right, alone advanced, and took possession of the Confederate skirmishing Loa EXPRESS FROM PARIS. RUMOURED ACCIDENT TO THE EMPEROR. (nor 0171 OW 001811111POYDINT.) PARIS. Funky EVRIFING. The almost exclusive subject of conversation at the Bourse to-day was an accident said to have happened to the Emperor yesterday at Fontaine. bleau. It is said that while rowing on the lake in the pleasure grounds he fell into the water, and that he received an accidental wound on the head from a boat which pushed forward to pick him up. Owing to the absurd laws against "false news," none of the evening papers dared to make the slightest allusion to this, which is really the leading topic of the day. Were the press free the truth would be sifted by this time, and people would know the real importance of the accident. As it is, dark rumours circulate, and the natural organs of public information are mute. It is to be presumed that the Emperor cannot have been seriously injured, because it is announced that he is coming to Paris fur a ministerial council to-morrow. The knotty difficulty about M. Renan is supposed to be the cause of his coming to Paris. The Bourse was somewhat affected at the opening by the news from the Fontainebleau lake, but ulti mately the Rente closed rather firmer than yester day. Mobilier, however, fell 2fr. 50c., and the railways were sensibly lower. The Court of Appeal has this day confirmed the judgment of the civil tribunal which held to be illegal,as a public meeting of more than 20 persons, the electoral assemblage of M. Gamier Pages' friends in M. Barthelemy's warehouse. M. Barthelemy has lodged an appeal to the Court of Caseation. The doubt about the law is much leas serious than the doubt whether the imperial government, based on universal suffrage, can expect to go on permanently with a system which prevents the electors from consulting together. The Nation and the Temps are to be prosecuted for publishing a letter from a juryman of the Haut Rhin, stating the reasons which induced him to vote for extenuating circumstances in the case of the horrible assassin who stifled his mother in a heap of cow dung. The prosecution is based upon the assumption that the press has no right to vio late the secrecy of the jury-box. The Paris Cricket Club has at length achieved • triumph which redounds very much to its credit, and also to that of its honorary secretary, Mr. Sparks, the gentleman who took a leading part in getting up the successful English amateur theatri cal performance in the Rue de la Tour d'Auvergne, and whose perseverance under often discouraging circumstances has most materially contributed to the desirable object of fratproisation between the two countries. The Paris club yesterday gained the return match against the Warwickshire Knickerbockers by the handsome advantage of 10 wickets. Sir Henry Storks, late Lord High Commissioner for the lonian Islands, has arrived in Paris on his way to London. Tics C 01717.— HiR MAJESTY VISITING TYR SICK. —The Roe.

THE EXPLOSION AND LOSS 07 LIFE AT TRIPOLL (Pim the Mehe Paw of :sae 2.) Several telegrairui were received from Tripoli on the 30th May, announcing an ex - plasm' g at 2.30 p.m. same day, of a government powder magazine, occasioning the death of some 520 people, of whom 500 are said to be Ottoman soldiers in a barrack close by. All the buildings in the town were so shaken by that catastrophe that many of the inhabitants have taken to the shipping, fearing that their frail tenements will come down. The telegraph station is said to have been unroofed and otherwise in jured, and indeed telegraphic communication was suspended for some 82 hours after, from the neces sity of removing the instruments, which ware covered with the debris. A later telegram from hie Excellency the Go vernor of Tripoli to the Ottoman Consul-General at Malta, reports the destruction by the explosion of a fort and several houses, denies that any of the population have sought refuge on board the shipping in port, reduces, we are happy to say, Ithe number of victims to 150, and announces per i led tranquillity among the people. The Malta Observer published the following tele gram as having been reoeived by his excellency Sir J. G. Le Merchant, from the British Consul- General, Colonel Herman : Tripoli, ilay 30, 5.12 p.m. For six or seven days part the ainiannition in the Spanish Fort has been in process of tailwind to the castle. This morning the residuum—as reported by the general to be some 3,000 patio& of powder, and a coesiderable quantity of musketry ammunition—exploded, and totally destroyed the fort, the Castom•house, and the adjacent maritime. The loss al life has been very great—smong the casualties 7 or 8 Maltase. The telegraph station and her Majesty's consulate have greatly 'offered. Two 18-pound shots fall through the roof al the latter. Had the explosion occurred five or six days ago, the whole town would have been destroyed. Consternation was great, but tranquillity pre vails.
