JAMES STEVENS, Secretary. TO the ELECTORS of the COUN ry of MIDDLESEX. GENTLEMEN, AFTER having for fort -seven successive years been your Representative in Parliament, it cannot he ne cessary for me, in announcing my intention of soliciting again the me honour at your hands, to state at any length my political prin- 'plea. 1 have no new professions to make. I hold now the same prin eipit s which I hod at the commencement of my public life. I liav( seen them applied to the legislation and government of the coun try, and, in my judgment, that application has been productive of ncreased intelligence and prosperity, and has now fur a long time 'reserved an unbroken and uninterrupted peace. The subject of the Established Church is one upon which I am tware that great interest is felt, and I consider it my duty to refer o it. I am, and have been all my life, a sincere and conscientious nember of the Church of England, and upon all occasions have •ndeavourcd, to the utmost of my ability, to promote its interests nd provide for the increase and extension of its means of useful - less. At the same time I have always felt and maintained that it s the right of every man to exercise and enjoy in perfect freedom - he form of worship which he believes to be the bast, and that the cal welfare of the Established Church is best advanced by a steady elherence to this important principle. During the present Parliament I have been able to attend regu ally in my.place in the House of Commons, and there perform my luty ; and 1 again come forward to ask your support because, if ,gain elected. 1 shall, wkle health and strength arc vouchsafed to ne, continue to do so, I therefore once more solicit the honour of being one of your Afembers in Parliament—an honour which I have preferred, and do preer, to any other which can be conferred upon me. Your obliged and faithful servant, St. GEORGE BYNG. Jam 's's &mare July 5, 1837. BAST INDIA HOUSE, JULY 5, 1847.

On Wednesday evening last, a meeting of the inlia• bitants of Huddersfield, convened by placard, was held in front of the Court House, at five o'clock in the evening, for the purpose of expressing- their confidence in, and gratitude to, the magistrates of Huddersfield for their humane conduct in, not suffering the military to be called into that town on the occasions of the meetings of the Poor Law Guardians on the sth and 12th instant.—Leeds LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1837. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JuLr 3. CON.-WYATT V. V.OOHFORT. S. W. FOLLETT said this was an action of the most se rious nature, charging the defendant with having had cri min it conversation with the plaintiff's wife. Although there would not, however, in this case be found any breach of hospitality or friendship, yet it was a case seriously affecting the happiness and comfort of the plaintiff. The defendant was a Colonel Rochfort, connected with a fancily of high respectability in Ireland. The plaintiff had been many years in India. In 1817 he was studying et the East In dia College, and the yonng lady, his now wife, was . a Miss Coxwcll, whose father was a respectable chymist and drug gist. She was a young lady of very great personal attrac tions, and highly accomplished. These two parties formed an attachment—they were both very young, under nine teen years of age. Their friends were averse to the match, but in the year 1817 they married, and shortly afterwards went to India, where the plaintiff had en appointment. In 1832 Mrs. Wyatt gave birth to a son, after which her health became so bad, that she was ordered to England. She was accompanied by her husband's sis ter, and they arrived in this country in the year 1826, the husband remaining in India. On coming to England Mrs. Wyatt went to the house of her father and mother, with whom she chiefly lived until their deaths, in 1832. At first the plaintiff allowed her 6001. a year, but that was afterwards increased to 900/. a year. After the death of the father and mother, it would appear that Airs. Wyatt went to France, where by some means or other she became' acquainted with the defendant, and it was not for a consi derable time that it was discovered she was living in open adultery with him. Proceedings had been adopted, and the defendant had admitted the adulterous intercourse. Evidence was given of the marriage, the happy terms on which the parties lived, and the admission of the adultery. A number of the lady's letters were read, in all of which she spoke of the plaintiff as the kindest and most liberal of hus bands. She also admitted having been extremely extra vagant. . . . . . Mr. KELLY, in mitigation of damages, urged that 'the husband could not complain of the loss of society, of the comfort and solace of his wife, by reason of his being at such a distance from her ; that there was no proof of his having sent her any money after 1832, and therefore they might assume that she was left in want, and that she bad in that miserable state fallen into the hands of any one who would provide for her. Tho Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 2301. EXCHEQUER EQUITY SITTINGS, Grear's-lxx. HALL-JOLT 5. The LORD CHIEF BARON gave judgment in this case. It was originally a bill filed for the partition of certain pro perty, consisting of a public-house called the George Inn, at Crawley, in the county of Sussex, certain cottages, and nine acres of land. His Lordship by his original decree directed that the parties, three in number, should each ap point two Commissioners for the purpose of effecting an equitable partition. From the award of these Commis sioners the defendants appealed to the Court, and the Court upon that appeal decided that the Commissioners bad acted partially, and at the time directed a new Commission to issue. An appeal was again made by the defendant against the award of the second set of Commissioners, and this ap peal was also successful, and the award again set aside. The case now came on upon a re-hearing, and his Lordship, after referring to the particulars of the case at some length, said that undoubtedly the parties were entitled to a parti tion of the estate. If the parties could not agree amongst themselves to name Commissioners, he would then direct the Master to name, upon his own authority, two fit. and proper persons as Commissioners. If the parties could not agree to estimate the whole property in money, and divide it as such, then the Commissioners must make an actual partition of the property into three parts, as well of the George Inn as of the rest ; the Commissioners must divide the whole in the best way they could. After some consultation between the Counsel on both sides, it was agreed that the number of Commissioners should be three, to be nominated by the parties, if they agreed to do so, and by the Master, if they could not agree, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTOIV". GARDEN. Santiago de las Santos, the celebrated East Indian dwarf, was brought to this office in the custody of Res e i t n i agu girlx 4 1 9 4 , E y division, ears o f age, charged byAnn Boston, withhaving assaulted a He is only 25 inches high, and was accompanied by his assltt her, wife, another curiosity, only 36 inches in height. They were conveyed from the station in a hackney-coach, which was followed by thousands of persons. The prisoner was carried into the office wrapped up in a rug, and thoso who were unacquainted with the charge at first imagined that it was a child who had met with some accident or injury. On being placed at the bar his wife stood by his side and was evidently full of the green-eyed monster. . The proseeutrix stated that the prisoner resided at No. 176, in Holborn, where he and his wife were exhibited to the public as curiosities, and her parents resided at No. I I, Mon mouth-street. She was 14 years of age, and lately she en tered the service of the prisoner, and slept in his house. He paid great attention to her, and was frequently scolded by his wife. On Monday night last witness went to bed and fell asleep ; but in course of the night she was awoke and found something in the bed puling her about, and she lifted up her leg and kicked it away. She made an alarm, and somebody came to her assistance, and found the 4. Black Dwarf" concealed under the bedstead, and he was given into custody and taken to the station-house. Mr. BENNETT asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge ? Prisoner (looking eunninoly, and smiling)— Me ax her if she go to bed wid me, and she say y es " Mr. BENNETT (to the girl)—ls that true? Prose cutrix—lL is not. Mr. BENNETT—He must find good bail. • The dwarf was then taken from the bar by Haddington, the gaoler, followed by his wife, who was bitterly crying, and, embracing the little man, she said she was his wife, and she ought to know Lim, and she was certain that he would never take liberties with anybody unless he was encouraged to do so. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It affords us unspeakable gratification to finl that the signatures to the requisition against Sir James Graham, obtained in four days only, amount in number to 1,782. When we consider that the electors of East Cumberland are scattered over half a million of acres, we cannot sufficiently admire the spirit mani fested by these worthy" statesmen," who would feel " a stain like a wound" in the continuance of the con nection between them and the most signal of all poli tical apostate!, Sir James Graham. ot a doubt can now be entertained that he will be indignantly thrust out of East Cumberland. Into what Tory snuggery he, will seek a shelter it is not for us to say, though it would not at all surprise us if the Tories, now that he has covered himself with disgrace, were to aban don him to his fate. When the requisition has ob tained 2,000 signatures, 218 in addition to the 1,782, the doom of Sir James will be sealed. This he well knows. Sir James Graham has thought pro per to issue a second address to the electors of East Cumberland, dated Eden-hall, July 3d (Monday last). We have transferred it to our columns. We almost pity the figure the Cumberland Baronet cuts in this address. What a falling off! " I ask," he says, " only for one seat when two are vacant. Ido not -presume to say who shall be my colleague; but I do say that lam not so unworthy as to merit absolute exclusion." What a vile sneak the fellow is I Not so unworthy ! Could any honest politician, with an approving conscience, have written these lines ? To think that this man should ever have been elevated to a seat in Earl Grey's Cabinet I With all Lord Stan ley's faults he is a stranger to abject crawling. He would sooner have cut off his right hand than have pre sented himself in such a plight to a body of respectable electors. Not so unworthy. He admits, then, he is unworthy, but pleads there are degrees of unworthi ness, and he might have been a still more sorry fel low. When he made his famous motion, in 1830, respecting the amount of public money shared among them by the members of the Privy Council, he held himself up as an eagle who " disdained to stoop to ignoble game while flights of voracious birds of prey were gloating in the upper regions of the air. This man, who gave himself out to the people of England as an eagle, and was taken but too readily at his word, has turned out a vile dunghill cock. From the readiness with which he uses the language of humiliation, it would seem to be his mother tongue. The moment the big blusterer is pinched, he cries like a young thief about to be placed under the pump. We would almost swear to the Right Hon. Baronet having been an old hand at playing the sneak. " I shall be proud," he adds, " of receiving support ' from every quarter that may be disposed to give it." Who doubts rt ? This is a signal of distress made to the Lowthers, from whom, under the mask of a Radical Reformer, he wrested East Cumberland. But there is this conso lation for the Reformers, that though he throws him self on his marrow-bones before the Lowthers, they cannot raise him. Out he must go. The electors of East Cumberland are ashamed of being represented by an apostate. In the old connection . between them and the Lowthers, habit blinded them to the objectionable character of Tory politics ; but they perceive that they could not return Sir James Graham, who admits his own unworthiness, without passing sentence of condemnation on themselves. This moral lesson, read by the electors of East Cumberland to Sir James Graham, will be of unspeakable advantage in the world of politics. As far as the Right Hon. Ba ronet is concerned he cannot be degraded—he is already as low as he can possibly be. But the . example was wanting to the country, that retribution follows cle.selyon the. heels of transgression. Sir James Gra ham, a man - before of little political mark, succeeded by the affectation of a more tha❑ usual regard for the interests of the people and pretension to political purity, at the critical period which immediately preceded the Reform Bill, in raising himself to a sort of factitious importance. It was forgotten that there was something extremely suspicious in his recommendation, only a f e w years before, to rob the public creditor, and when the Wellington Ministry were turned out he was made a Cabinet Minister. Like many others who have been elevated beyond their deserts, he became giddv. Forgetting that he owed everything to the people, and unable to perceive that he could not exist without the people, he thought he might kick the lad der by which he had ascended from beneath him. He has been for some time in Parliament, not merely a changeling, but a malicious and mean opponent of all those with whom he formerly co-operated. But he is about to be reduced to his original dimensions. In his address he begins to open his eyes to his' real situa- tion. But his — present Meanness will no more serve him than his former upstart insolence. Sir James Graham's dav is over ; and the people have the consolation of knowing that if they made him of importance they have annihilated him. Neither Tory, nor Whig, nor Radical, will henceforward care for Sir James Graham. __Morning Chronicle. The accounts from Cambridge, which_ state the progress of Mr. Knight and Mr. Sutton, correspond with those throughout the country generally, and leave not a shadow of doubt that, if freely and judi ciously encouraged, the Conservative spirit prevalent amongst the electors will furnish the benches of the House of Commons with a majority somewhat diffe rent in character from that which now oppresses them. The address of the lion. candidates above-mentioned is brief, but confident ; and, if we are not much mis taken, Mr. Superficial Rice will wonder how it is that the ways and means, albeit applied with all the characteristic liberality of a Whig who pursues his own selfish ends at the expense of other people's pockets, have in this instance failed him. We pub lish an intelligent and cheering letter from our cor respondent " M. W.," who throws a comprehensive coup drcil over the kingdom, but presents the AVltig- Radical prospects under somewhat of a gloomy tint. It appears by a list which " M. W." sends us, and the correctness of which we have every reason to rely upon, that there are no fewer then 48 of the parti zans and supporters of the O'Connell Cabinet in the existing House of Commons who have declared their intention to resign, and thus escape the terrors of the ensuing contest ; there are among them seven of the Irish tan, of whom four arc county Members. New let us put the question—if there be no change of sen timent in the United Kingdom, why should so many Members as 48, all - professing the same class of poli-• tical opinions, abandon their seats at the same moment, some of them—we believe a considerable majority— not feeling any dislike to Parliament, but meaning to try their luck at places different from those which for- merly elected them, and where their hopes of success must be founded on the consciousness that they are less known to the new constituencies than to those from which they dare not solicit any further proofs of re spect ? With these cut-and-run gentlemen there is associated in the list one personage, who has not re tired " because be likes Parliament less, but bcc'ause he likes 600/. per annum more." Mr. C. Fitzsimon, M.P. for the county of Dablin ; but, what is more to the purpose, son-in-law to Mr. Daniel O'Connell, has made a pretty thing enough of it. Under the compact framed by Mr. Edward Ellice with the Agi tator, which amounted, in few words, to this—" Give us all your Irish votes, and we will give yen all our Irish patronage," a wholesale system of bribery has flourished throughout the island, and O'Connell has been at once principal and agent. He has \ taken every thing and disposed of everything. Even if report speak truth, the aripointtnent to high offices in the Protestant Established Church has not been unsoiled by the sacrilegious fingers of this all-grasping Papist. We do not make it a charge against O'Connell that he has got the Clerkship of the Hanaper for Mr. Fitzsimon, who in private life, we have been told is an estimable and well-conducted man, and who, besides, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE ENTERED INWARDS AT THE CUSTOM HOUSE, JULY 5.

TELEGRAPHED. Off Holyhead, inward bound, the Yceman, from Demerara Constitution, New Orleans. Tuesday afternoon, about four o'clock, the following fracas occurred in Regent -street. Trio gentlemen, having the appearance of foreigners, were walking along Re gent-street, arm-in-arm, when suddenly a gentleman (an Englishman) wearing mustachios,and having the a ppearance of a cavalry officer rode up to the side of the foot pavement, dismounted, and giving his horse to his groom, proceeded up to one of the gentlemen, over whose shoulders and back he ap. plied a heavy riding-n hip several times with great severity, at the same time exclaiming," You, Sir, are a coward, scoundrel. and liar." After which he cooly remounted his horse, and rode off in the direction of the Quadrant, leaving the gentle- TYRA; almost paralysed at the circumstance. PRICE sd. has irresistible claims upon his wile's father; but we do denounce and reprobate the movement Niinisters, for their baseness in consenting to hold the Govern ment on the compulsory condition of vesting its Irish patronage in the hands of an incendiary whose whole political existence is one undivided effort to with draw six millions of the Queen's subjects from the dominion of the British Crown. In this bad Papist's address to the electors of Kilkenny he harps upon the two not very concordant strings of blarney to the Queen, and Repeal of the Union. Yes, the purblind blockhead affects to gain that grand consummation for Popery, which, in his dialect, he calls " Justice to Ireland," by threatening Queen Victoria, not altogether indirectly, that his much vaunted zeal for her Majesty's Government and person is contingent on the performance of that which he as sullies to be her duty, namely, the grant of each' and all of those measures of destruction against the Pro testant state in Ireland which have been the topics of his own insolent and disaffected speeches everywhere, and have become the avowed watchwords of Popish hostility towards Great Britain. It appears from our Irish letter that Mr. Daniel O'Connell is about this time making his appearance in Dublin, and issuing or ders for a general muster and drill of his rebel forces. But there is one grand element of war upon the Monarchy defi cient. He can nolonger mould the elective franchise to his will. Ireland still has Judges learned and incorruptible. They have declared the late. No Committee of the House of Commons, composed of whatever materials, packed with whatever skill, fraught with whatever im patience of legitimate or constitutional authority, can henceforth vamp up qualifications to meet the emer gency of a corrupt or desperate case. The qualifica tion of county voters must be a bona fide 101. qualifi cation. For years past Mr. Daniel O'Connell has been crying out that Ireland ought to have, not a 101., but a 51.—yea, or a 40s. franchise. Why, he has had a 51. franchise—he has had all this while, and to all practical purposes, a 40s. franchise, both, it is true, under the name of a 101. one, usurping the functions of a legal 101. qualification, and returning, by such fictitious means, a long list of fictitious Members of Par liament. But those golden days are at end. The Con stitution is to be henceforth, without the least change in the law, by virtue merely of a clear promul gation of the law, a substantial and compa ratively independent constituency. O'Connell and the priests may bully, or preach to, or excommuni cate such a constituency, but it will not do. It re mains for the gentlemen of Ireland to put this im proved constitutional instrument to its proper uses. It remains for the gentlemen of Ireland, those who de serve the name, to appeal in every county, as we have said before, co the 101. county electors, and summon them to their work. The work is nzen!s work. It is to save the Queen from sordid and evil counsellors—to bring honest and loyal Protestants into her sacred pre sence—to quell the arrogance and crush the schemes of O'Connell—to submit to the Queen of England that page of history which records the transactions of 1688, and immortalizes the Whig Statesmen of that glorious era, contrasting both deeds and actors with the so-called " liberal" measures of the present day, and with such Ministers as Mulgrave, Duncannon, Rice, and Russell.— Times. It is astonishing how much an approaching election stimulates the sympathies of Members of the House of Commons towards the industrial and operative classes. Representatives, some of whom may for an entire Session have either contented themselves with a silent vote, and that too, perhaps, sometimes on the wrong side, or have altogether neglected the duties of the trust confided to them, often become on the eve of a dissolution most clamorous for the removal of abuses and the'eelief of all manner of distress. All the do quence and patriotism which may have been pent up for several Sessions, without the slightest indication of their existence, will often on the advent of an elec tion burst forth with a generally useless, and often pernicious impetuosity. Mr. Maxwell's motion on Tuesday night, for the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry into the causes of the distress of the Hand loom Weavers, afforded favourable scope for the escape of this gaseous and unsubstantial patriotism. To the good faith and purity of motive of the Honourable Mover himself, we bear most confident testimony ; but in the speeches of some of his supporters, we think may be recognised an excess of sympathy for the work ing classes, which unfortunately is not sustained by the general conduct of the speakers. Now, we certainly consider that the man who would arrogate any credit for the manifestation of sympathy with the number of human beings whom the depressed state of trade has reduced to destitution and starvation, must be but little accustomed to the kindlier impulses of humanity. The man who feels not sympathy at beholding thousands of his fellow-creatures expiring from famine, must be worse than a savage ; but we de not think the manifestation of a desire to relieve such suffering, and still less the delivery of a whining objectless lamentation, to be a proof of extraordinary sensibility. The relief of the distress of the hand-loom weavers should be effected by more prompt and effective agency than the appointmei t of a Commission. It needs moCommission nor inquiryto make manifest the chief and more operative causes of this distress, and the removal of these, so far as they arc ca pable of removal, need not be expected from an expiring Parliament. TO any person at all acquainted with the subject, it must be evident that the present ex treme distress of this branch of trade is attributable in part to the general pressure on the commercial inte rests—in part to the extensive employment of power looms—and, most of all, to the restrictions on the importatioirof corn. It is expected that any of these causes will be removed by the Commission, the ap pointment of which we perceive with regret was car ried by a small majority ? The expense of thie Com mission would be far more judiciously applied to the relief of the distress which is the object of its inquiry. The very Members who supported its appointment, admitted that they did not anticipate any good to ac crue from it, unless that of exhibiting sympathy with the working classes. Now, to parade sympathy without the intention of affon'iing succour is the worst species. of mockery—it is a vile and heartless cheat, to which no upright mind would become a party. Mr. Maxwell's proposition with regard to the fixing a minimum of wages, is unworthy of a moment's consideration. It would; if adopted, be not only a most unjust hum fee ence between employer and operative, but tentl,by casting more fetters on the action of supply and demand, to increase existing evils. The first and most effective step towards the relief of the destitute operatives is the abolition of the corn laws. This will open a mart for our manufactures, and give our artisans cheap food in return. Without this all other attempts at relief will prove mere patch , work—they may stop the broken places, or keep the garment together for a time, but ultimately will make the rent worse. Mr. Maxwell expressed his desire to repeal these laws, if it could be done without injur ing the market for domestic produce, and as time Pre sident of the Board of Trade expressed his conviction that 'the price of ,grain would be reduced but little or nothing by removing the duty off that of foreign growth, there is a fair opportunity for a mutual ac commodation of opposing opinions and interests. There is yet another remedy for the distressed artisans, more extensive in operation than this. Let the elective franchise be extended, end the Representatives of the people will find a wey of arriving at the cause of evils without the appointinent of Special Commissions. But whenever there is a question of representation, a din is raised about the rights of property ; and whenever there is a question of taxation, which, by a funda mental principle of the British Government, should be co-existent with representation, the poor are found to possess a wonderful eligibility for being forc e d to con tribute to the administration of laws which, so far from protecting, are often adverse to their interests.-- Mos eirn g Advertiser. Lord Lyndhurst has taken frequent opportunities to provi; in his place -in Parliament, ‘, , hat Lerd Brougham, some years ago asserted, whet , he de dared that it was only the corrective power exercised by the Lords which prevented the wars of heeislatien .from being overlayed with the cnd!ess blundering and absurdities of the Commons. The most remelt pra..- tical proofs of the bungled manner in which the Le-t gislative process is but too often carried oi , in I).e 1 Lower Hou se , have been extracted by Lortrlynd- hurst from the Ministerial Bills for the Reform of t' Criminal Law, brought in by Lord John Russell and Sir John Campbell, her Majesty's AVorney-Gelierel, the latter of whom is desirous of confiroing the ad vantages of the most important of these Oili to the' English side of the Tweed. from which we wits` in • s ; fel. that he is either a very unpatriotic Scotcbmno or has has a very poor . opinion of his own legislatint.T It is not a little gratifying to ourselves to perceiv that the great and true principlf: of reform in our penal code, for which we have contended during several yearst past, was, on Tuesday night, fully recognised as the!. sound and proper one, and adopted as such by Leedl Lyndhurst, than whom no man of more luminous intel lect or more eminent legal abilities ever wore the judicial j ermine. That principle Lord Wynford, whose talentsl. as a judge or a senator we by no means wish to under-Ai rate, does not yet understand, otherwise he could not,. have supposed he was taking the best means of pla -4, tecting property or repressing even a heinous species of,' crime, by contending that rick-burning should still coil . tinue to be punishable With death—a mode of punish-y ment which has signally and notoriously failed of thel. intended e ff ec t— an d f or th e reas o n alleged by Lord Lyndhurst. Let those who still entertain, in spite of the practical l e sso ns o f ex p er i ence , a bigotted attach-4' ment to the use of the gallows, as a source of moralising 4 influence, hearken to what that most distinguished mult i experienced judge states. He says that "when he hadJl the nonour of tilling the office of Chief Baron, he oftenN tried cases of arson, and he found that in almost all'.`; instances of the sort, the case against the prisone 7 depended upon circumstantial evidence—to any person' having experience in criminal matters he need hardly i observe, that few things were more difficult than to , induce a jury to come. to the conclusion of proved ' guilt, where they had to draw their inferences from a, variety of minute facts, and when human life was at*." stake. His Lordship added that "upon that ground, as!' well 'as upon others distinct from it, he would support the proposed alteration of the law in regard to arson." .For our own part, we think, as we have said more than li k ' once, that the reasoning which leads to the conclusion 1 that rick-burning ought not to be punishable with death, is equally valid against the punishing several other crimes with death to which Ministers propose that the capital penalty shall still apply, and for which crimes the Criminal Law Commissioners recommend that the sentence of blood shall, if possible, be invariably carried into execution : a Draconic recommendation,ll which, if acted upon, would, .considering the numberh of capital offences which Ministers still allow to remaintl on the statute-book, pluck from the regal prerogative pt its brightest jewel—the saving mercy, which during :. the late reign was so beneficially exercised in regard to the cases of capital convicts reported personally to the King in Council by the Recorder of London. Is t it preparatory to acting upon this impolitic and cruel , recommendation of the Commissioners that Ministers have brought in a Bill to abolish the privilege of the ~ City of London in so reporting by the mouth of itse Recorder all capital cases tried within its jurisdiction to the Sovereign in Council ? If so, the clemency ,- which so eminently distinguished the reign of ‘Villiai)o IV., will not throw its mild radiance over that of;i: Queen Victoria. This Bill, on which we made some .. anticipatory comments last week, Ministers arc hur ryingthrough Parliament with a degree of preci pitancy which forms a striking contrast with the -,i gentle slowness which has. marked the progress of the Ji " nine Bills," or that one nest-egg of reform in the civil department of the law, which the Whig Attorney-1 General has been so l ong hatching, as to induce ii a very strong belief that it will turn out an addled egg,; at last. .• We mean the Bill for the abolition of arrest"' for debt. The maxim of the celebrated Beccaria that " it is the certainty and not the severity of punishment which deters from crime, we have frequently brought I under the public notice, with abundance of facts and"' II statistical proofs to substantiate the soundness of thcV, principle. The same principle, we have said, has beenti recognised and adopted by Lord Lyndhurst, who ex pressed pressed himself, in reference to it, in the following terms :—" He felt (he said) perfectly satisfied that.. the results of experience must lead to the conclusion!, that severity of punishment did not repress crime, and 11 . that the most effectual mode of preventing crime was. to combine moderate punishments with a strict and steady administration of the law." In this Lord Lynd burst takes a very different view of the matter from those " philosophers' who advise that the sentence of death in q 1 every case that still remains capital, shall be invariably . 11 executed. The learned Lord recommends a steady and f q strict administration of the law when the punishmentstlj to be enforced are moderate, and, of course, neither',. revolting to the natural feelings of mankind, nor dis-.l proportionate to . the offence. The Duke of Richmond 0" took the same view of the mitigation of the punishmen:ili of arson which Lord Lyndhurst did. His Grace putili the question on its right footing when lie said that% " the proposed change in the law respecting arson, soll far from taking away any protection from farm-produce,li would rather increase its security by removing objec- li i ;ions to prosecute." In this discussion the remarkable ,1 circumstance occurred, of similar sentiments being ex-- t o pressed, and strongly expressed, in regard to the miti gation of our criminal laws, by the Chief Justice andpi two ex-Lord Chancellors of England, one of whom I had also filled ti.e office of Chief Baron. We allude to .k Lord Denman, Lord Lyndhurst, and Lord Brougham.ll •I-lad we not lure the testimony of .t he highest legalTll • .i l and judicial authorities in confirmation o f th e rectuml eo of thoe opinions upon criminal law Reform which we have humbly, but firmly and peisevetingly advo-ill cated through evil report and good report, until we ~ have had tut; satisfaction to behold the " grain ol!• mustard scar b e e o ;ele a goodly tree, adorning Out earth where its wholesome principle takes root, a T I4I , extending its branches toward; fleaven. It woui,l4 lead us to a length far greater then our space ivauldh adthit, to review this discussion in all ii.es bearings,?!, and to point out the passages which are p articularl y deserving of public attention in the admirably rea soned speeches of the distinguished judicial chera?-) tors, whose names we have mentioned. We camp:ok however, avoid quoting a sentence or two from the'; speech of Lord Brougham, in which that Noble and‘ Learned Lord expresses doubts of the policy of t h e punishment of de alb, even for the offence of nrurdcr.4 He said " his firm belief and conviction were that ca pital punishment had failed in all and every case—event , in those cases of murderfor , which alone it was justifi .l ' able, if justifiable at all—whether • the puni. binent ofl , l death should be inflicted, even for murder, was ao opil nion which had for a considerable time been discu ssed. '' Into the merits of that discussion he would not theol, enter, further than that if the punishment of deaths ' should be retained, it should be for that crime only IV yet, even for that he thought . its teedency was .1 i I not the retention or the prevention of crime ; on the contrary, it tended to brutalise the mind, au4 to prepare men fin - the commission of that verg crime for which alone, if retained 'at all, it ought t 4 he continued." The brutalising effects of the . punish 4 ment upon the mind and habits of the populace weref 0 very recently seen in the cases of th e crim i na l s Pees 4, . worth and e3reenacre, whose s'rangulation upon thei, scaffold seemed to aff.ird to the, assembled crowds stilli more exquisite enjoyment and delectable pastime thanit they could derive from a bull-bait, a fatal priz:-fight,l' or any other brutal exhibition calculated to stimulate:` the passions of the mob with strong doses of inhumanit excitement. Pegswcrth's crime was attempted to beR imitated inunediately after his execution in the efforts made by the wretched Kearney to murder the Deputyl Chairman of the India House with a knife. Green- acre was scarcely cold in the grave when another atro.i cious murder of a female shocked the metropolis—pro- i trebly perpetrated by one who was a spectator of his a l execution, and was, to use Lord Brougham's words,ll " prepared by its brutalising eff:cts on the mind for the l fri commission of the crime !-- Morning !Jerald.
