Tel Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the subject of Capital Punishment has already commenced its sittings, and, having regard to those who compose it, there is little reason to doubt that their labours will result in a very valuable Report. The advocates of the abolition of capital punishment are most efficiently represented by Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. EWART, and Mr. NZATE ; and the character Of Lord STANLEY'S mind is such that he will pro bably adopt that conclusion to which the evidence brought forward may conduct him. The subject is thus likely to be thoroughly ventilated ; the laws of different countries will be ascertained, whilst the effects of the various changes which may have been made from time to time in these • laws will no doubt be accurately traced. It is, indeed, by no means improbable that in some conclusions, at least, all the Commis sioners may concur. For instance, it would stir prise no one if the Commiasioners should unami mouldy resolve that capital punishment cannot be absolutely abolished—that there are some cases in which this penalty must continue to be inflicted. To take an obvious illustration. Suppose that the man who is now on his way to New York should be arrested and convicted at the Old Bailey of murdering Mr. Barocs. Does anyone suppose that in such a case the public sense of what is right and just would be satisfied with the in fliction of any other punishment than that of death t Laws cannot be practically en forced unless they are in accordance with the feelings of the majority of the people subject to them. Osthe one hand, when the laws are con sidered too severe, juries refuse toconvict, and even Ministers of State are compelled to relax them. On,the other hand, when laws are considered too lenient, there is danger of a reaction against sen timentalism, and Parliament may even be driven to unction 'some Draconian provisions. In com ing to a conclusion, therefore, on the subject of capital punishment it must be carefully borne in mind that no change in the law ought to be at tempted unless there is reason to believe that such change will be supported by public opinion. For otherwise the detection of crime will be rendered more difficult, and the infliction of punishment less certain. Assuming, then, that in the present state of public opinion in this country the complete aboli tion of capital punishment will probably be found impossible, it is tolerably clear that this fact only renders more pressing.the necessity of distinguish ing between different cases of homicide. It may be that public opinion would demand the death of Mr. BRIGGS' murderer as the only appropriate pu nishment for so daring a crime. But there sre infi nite varieties of homicide, and one of the most difficult tasks for the Legislature or the jurist is to classify these various cases, and to attach to each its appropriate penalty. Take as an illustra tion the case of RICHARD PAexes, who was tried on Monday last before Mr. Justice BLACKBURN for murdering his mother. It seems that Pumas was a butcher, and, although • married man, used to live with his parents, and assisted his father in the management of his farm. Unhappily the young man was addicted to habits of intemperance. When drunk he was violent and quarrelsome ; but when sober he and his parents lived on the most amicable terms. On Monday, the 28th of March, young PARK= went to Sheffield. But instead of returning the same night as he intended, he did not return until the next day, and when he did he was " considerably " the worse for liquor." He was described as restless and excited. He began to quarrel with his father in the kitchen, and indeed became so violent that the servant-maid went to a neighbour for assistance. In the meantime the father seems to have lost his temper and abused his son. A scuffle ensued, and when the neighbour, Mrs. Eluxes, came back, she found the father and son struggling with each other in the garden, and the mother trying to separate them. The mother, with the assistance of Mrs. HAiNvi, seems to have apcceeded in her efforts, for the father went to the stable, and the son into the house. Immediately afterwards, however, the son returned with a gun. He took distinct aim at his mother and Mrs. 'luxe/I, who were only 16 feet off, and then fired. Mrs. BAINES managed to escape, but his mother was shot dead and his father was wounded. No sooner was the deed done than young PARKER aeemsto have awakened to asense of his position. To his father, as he passed by, he said, " You should not aggravate me so," and then rush ing into a neighbour's house he fastened the door, and said, " Don't split. I've shot my mother " dead. Hide rue." " I can't hide you," the neighbour replied, " I have nowhere to put you," upon which the half-drunken wretch ran away. Presently he was arrested and placed in gaol. Now, in this case there was no sort of doubt as to the fact. The whole thing was done in open day, and the criminal was taken almost in the very act. If PARKER had been sober there could have been little hesitation in allowing the law to take its course. For few cases can be imagined of a more heinous character. It is true that, according to the English law, drunkenness is no excuse for crime; THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EinglaNG, JULY 27, on the contrary, it is considered as an aggravation. But even the English kw allows that in Mme eases the fact of a man being in liquor matt be taken into consideration. For premeditation is au impor tant element in crime, and without premeditation —malice aforethought—murder ceases to be mur. der. It is trim that the jury have, under the direction of Mr. Justice BracLatrair, pronounced PARKER guilty of wilful murder. But this verdict is accompanied by a recommendation to mercy, on the ground that "the prisoner was in liquor when " he fired the gun," and this furnishes conclusive proof that the jury felt the necessity of drawing some distinction. There is every difference between a stranger deliberately planning the destruction of a fellow-creature, and a passionate half-drunken man first quarrelling with the people about him, and then suddenly shooting them with a gun which he finds ready loaded. Capital punishment must be regarded as the most severe penalty inflicted upon criminals by law, yet it ought to be restricted to cues of the most aggravated cha racter. In this case of PARKER it is clear that he was not physically capable of forming a deliberate intention ; and certainly his conduct, both before and after the shot was fired, negatives any idea of deliberation. If we aro not mistaken, it will appear that of late years no person has been executed unless some deliberate intention to murder has been distinctly brought home to him. It is upon this principle that the authorities of the Home-office have lately acted. The principle is sound and intelligible, and deserves the attention of the Duke of RICHMOND and his colleagues. In the meantime it is tolerably clear that, unless this principle is to be ignored in the cam of RICHARD PARKER, he ought not to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. be Coun. 06BOILNE. JOLT 26.

The invasion is at an end, the Confederates having retired from Maryland and from before Washington. Telegrap hio communication with Washington has been restored. Unofficial despatches report Sherman to have crossed the Ohattahoochie, and to have arrived within six miles of Atalanta. After the battle on the Monooacy the Confede rates marched straight to Washington, and burnt Mr. Francis Blair's residence near the city. On Monday and Tuesday they made a demon stration against Fort Stevens. On Tuesday afternoon two divisions of the 6th corps, which had arrived from Grant's army, drove the Confederates one mile beyond Fort Stevens. On Tuesday night all the Confederates retired from before Washington, and recrossed the Potomac at Poolesville and Edward Ferry with enormous stores and a large number of horses. It is reported that the Federal, have crossed the Potomac in pursuit. The accounts concerning the strength of the in vading force vary from 12,000 to 30,000 men. General Franklin has made his escape. The Confederates have made a demonstration against Grant's left to get into his rear. General Price is reported moving into Missouri. The American Consul at St. John's has tele graphed to the Governor of Maine that a small party of Confederates had left to depredate on the Maine frontier. Mr. Fessenden is unable to arrange with the banks for the loan of 50,000,000 dollars. The steamer Little Ada has been captured off Charleston. The Caledonia has been intercepted at Cape Race. =MSS ISOM PARIS. r. k ; (non ors ovra enuarommarr.) ?AIM, TUIRIDAY The general ingsission that two recent astiersa in the Pays were supplied direct from Vichy, receives pregnant confirmation from the fact that the Pays now complains of their having been misunderstood--• misfortune which almost in variably happens to compositions emanating from that oracular source. It appears that the inter pretations are on this occasion most diverse. The first article having been misrepresented, the Pays published a second, in order, as it says, to do away with "all possible ambiguity." But it succeeded so badly in its object that the perverse independent press insisted that the second article contradicted the first. Not only that, bat they were not agreed as to the tendency of the contradiction, whether backwards or for wards. The Mots said that the Pays retracted, while the Opinion Nationale congratulated it on having made a forward step. The provincial press was as much at fault as that of Paris. The Salta Public of Lyons saw a 'contradiction, while the Gironde of Bordeaux interpreted the second article as a repetition of the first. The Pays now affirms that it has neither advanced nor gone back, and that both its articles "emanated from a deli berate and unshakable conviction, and were the offspring of the same thought and the same aspi rations." lam afraid that this proud declaration will not aid the public to any practical conclusion as to what the articles really mean. The following criticism of the Dibats pointedly shows the diffi culty of understanding them : What must be thought at the ankle published by the Pap wader the title of " Franos and Europe'" One would eartaioly be very clever to discover! That journal bogies by expressing its satisfeatiou at the exosllent tion which the French governmeat Ma obtained by its im• partiality and dialatametedesss ia the question at the Damo• German Duchies. It goes on to show, or attempts to show, that this disiaterastedness wires to the cabinet universal sympathy in England. It does not fail to bout, casu►'Jy, of the Ang'trireme& animate, but at the name time remarks that, after all, there is not • state in Europe which does not seek the alli ance of Fame with the ease ageism@ ; sod concludes by declaring that "Frame has not to trouble herself materially with the plane men or less opposed to right and equity, which Austria and Preemie appear to pursue, with the com plicity of Rose* relative to Danmark," but that u "the position gives at the present moment to the court of the Tuileries an immense political ariendancy and • considerable moral infineoce, that court will plea that ascateducy and induces at the service of usivereal prep os end nal liberty, which still appear to ha►e in old Europe stubborn and in , corrigible adversaries." People may, therefore, find every tang they please in this harangue to old Europe, which shows toes lectorrigible tanneries is quiet of the alliance of France, and Temente the same events as being indif hearth to France, and yet not indifferent. However, in com paring this article with the article in the same journal three or four days before, the **Rios meet be arrived at that the Pau, other having rammed see step, draws beck two. The government is negotiating a commercial treaty with the Pope. The Prance gives a positive contradiction to the news vary widely circulated that the Emperor is preparing an important political pamphlet at Vichy. The programme of the arrangements for the visit of the King of Spain has received the addition of two " princely bites," one of which has to be given in the Palace of Versailles. He will stay four days, instead of three, in Paris. The Bourse was tolerably firm, notwithstanding the rise of discount in England. What is now chiefly feared is that the Bank of England will go on from 7to 8 per cent—a course which would compel the Bank of France to raise its discount also. Little business was done to-day, and the closing quotations of Rents show no clangs. Mobilier rose bin. Yesterday the officers of the 85th Regiment, now stationed at Shorn°liffe, played a match with the Paris Cricket Club on the Madrid-ground, in the Bois de Boulogne. The officers gained an easy victory in one innings. A scratch match is going on to-day, in which the officers take part. The Parisian public oontinues to show itself indifferent to these matches, which are extremely pleasing to the performers and the very few English residents who go to look at them. To-day, as on the occa sion of the interesting match with Sir Robert Clif ton's Nottingham men, there was a sad lack of spectators. One reason for the paucity of attend ant* is that the ground is not very ac cessible. No omnibus is allowed to tra verse the Bois de Boulogne, and the privilege which that promenade lately enjoyed of being reckoned as part of Paris in regard to cab fares has been capriciously taken away, so that a ride there now costs Ur. 600. as being outside the fortifications. It would seem impossible to put cab fares in Paris on a reasonable footing. The tariff has been changed continually, but never yet made equitable between the cab proprietors and the public. At this moment you may take a Aim with two horses from Berry to Auteuil for lfr. boc. The journey occupies two hours, and the horses after crossing much rough Paris pavement and mounting several hills, arrive panting, sweating, and ready to drop down with fatigue. Take the same carriage from the gate at the end of the Avenue de I'Lmptfratrice to the J4r. din d'Aodimation, a ride of tour minutes, along a smooth macadamized road, and you will have to pay Mr. 50c. The Imperial Court of Paris has just given judgment in an appeal front a decision of the Civil Tribunal in an action brought by M. Hirsch against against Mdlle. Cora Pearl, a dashing young lady of the demi-monde, to recover a cum of 7,993 fr., the balance of an account for goods delivered. It appeared that the whole bill amounted to 23,256 fr., towards which 15,2631 r. had been paid at different times. On the bearing of the awe the defendant pretended that she had p►id another sum of 7,028 fr. to the plaintiff's daughter, and produced what appeared to be a receipt. The tribunal, considering this receipt valid, condemned the defendant to pay only the balance of 965 fr. M. Hirsch now appealed against that decision, and produced evidence to show that the 7,028 fr. had never been paid, and that the receipt produced had been given in mistake by his daughter. A careful investiwation having proved this to be really the case, the court quashed the judgment under appeal, and col:dammed the defendant to pay the 7,993 fr. demanded, with all coats of suit.

On reaching the lake their royal highneeses aniseed themselves with booties and &bine, and after. wards dined with their snits in the fishing temple on the beaks of it. lake. The royal party returned to Fromm late in the erasing. Yesterday afternoon the Prince of Wales, attended by Captain G. H.

This day the Speaker took the chair shortly after 12. The adjourned debate on the revision of the standing orders relative to private business was resumed. Colonel W. PATTEN, in reference to the diminution of the number of members of select committees on private business from ire to form, suggested that no further attempt should be made to mops° that point till nest session. Mr. O. FORSTER gave notice that nest session be should move that the somber be reduced to three.. Sir Y. PETO, in reference to the proposition to appoint referees to consider the facts relating to schemer, brought before committees, said be was of opinion this plan would •ot work, and the proper course would be to appoint a body of officers of the house to deal with all preliminary matters. Oa the motion of Colonel W. Parris, the number of referees wee fixed at three instead of two in standing order 8. Mr. MAASEY moved that co member of the house should be appointed referee. Oolapel PATTEN accepted the ameudment, which was avoid to. Sir J. SHELLEY asked whether it was indispensable that one of the referees should be an engioeer. No first-china °neuter would accept the appointment of referee, and the public would not have confidence in the decagon of se infa ncy one. Colonel PATIILN said it was not indiapensable that one of the referees elistild be an engineer. The appointment of referees should red with the Speaker, who would no doubt appoint such ponces as the public would have coati. dense in. Sir O. BOWYER said that the lingoes. might be more fairly distributed stumps the numbers than it was. He bad not been oe a sommithee himself for three years. He doubted whether the pumas appointed u referees would be sufficiently qualified to obtain the ooefideece of ill parties concerned. He suggested that the agents concerned should furnish • preliminary statement of Weir case to the nom• mitts*. Mr. AYRTON considered it rather strange that a pro poetics for excluding members of the house from being ap• pointed referees should come from the chairman of ways and mesas, who was himself to be the chairman of the referees. He thought before changing the old system they ought to see their way deer to the new one.
