The trial of ROBERT PATE for the atrocious and cowardly assault upon our Most Gracious QUEEN has most justly and properly terminated in a convic tion. The jury have faithfully discharged the duty they owed to society. They have suffered no morbid sensibility for the highly respectable family of the criminal to interpose a shield for his protection, to defraud justice of her right, or to allow the majesty of the law to remain unvindicated. They accepted the law from the presiding Judges, and did not venture to sat any crude or hastily formed opinion of their own in opposition to that of the grave and learned men who, from their important positions, are the constitutional interpreters of the criminal code, of the written and unwritten law of the land. As had been anticipated, the defence setup was .. insanity—that at the time of the commmission of the outrage the prisoner was of unsound mind, incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong, and consequently not responsible for any acts, however atrocious, of which he might have been guilty. The eminent and distinguished advocate to whose hands the interests of the accused were en• trusted struggled to the utmost, and made the best use of the materials at his disposal, but, as he was himself compelled to admit, with no very sanguine anticipations as to the result. He could not for a moment deny that the assault had been per petrated by the defendant. It would have been puerile to attempt to struggle against the unimpeach able testimony that was brought forward on this point. But he dwelt on the unaccountable nature of the offence, the total absence of any motive that could have inflyenced a gentleman of respectable fortune and family —a person who had at one time held a commission in a service the characteristic of which is a chivalrous devotion to the fair sex, and unbounded loyalty to the sovereign —to commit a ,wanton and unprovoked assault upon an innocent and inoffens i ve lady, surrounded by her blooming children 2e—upcn the Quilz)i) to whom h allegiance was due— is a Queen who, as the Learned Counsel justly re marked, " was revered and loved by all classes of her subjects—a Sovereign who, perhaps, enjoyed the love of those subjects more than any other who had ever filled the throne of these realms." Neither did he rest satisfied with the mere suggestion of mental in capacity. A number of highly respectable wit nesses were produced, who deposed to great ec centricity on the part of the prisoner, and even as to strange delusions under which he for merly laboured, and which led to his removal from the military service by the sale of his commission, an indulgence which was only permitted under the pe culiar circumstances of his case, by his supposed weakness of intellect which led to the disobedience of the orders of his commanding officer and his absence without leave from his military duties. Two medical gentlemen of great celebrity in cerebral dis eases also gave it as their opinions that "he was of unsound mind." The evidence of Dr. COICOLLY, the head physician of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, was very important. The learned gentleman said, "It seems to me that he has a very small share of mental power, without object or ambition, and unfit for all the ordinary duties of life. In conversation, he would undoubtedly know the distinction between a right and wrong action, but I should say that he would be subject to sudden im pulses of passion." And on cross-examination, the learned gentleman admitted that "he was not aware that the prisoner suffered from any particular delusion." Now this was exactly the state of mind referred to by the Judges in their answers to the queries sub mitted by the House of Lords in 1843. They stated that, " notwithstanding a party committed a wrong act when labouring under the idea of redress ing a supposed grievance or injury, or under the im pression of obtaining some public or private benefit, he was liable to punishment." And again, in answer to the question, "If a person under an insane delusion as to existing facts, commits an offence in conse quence thereof, is he thereby excused ?" to which they replied, that " they were unanimous in opinion that if the delusion was only partial, the party ac cused was equally liable with a person of sane mind. If the accused killed another in self-defence, he would be entitled to an acquittal, but if committed for any supposed injury, he would then be liable to the punishment awarded by the laws to his crime." Tried by these tests, there can be no doubt that the prisoner was responsible for the offence ; but still it materially lessens its aggravated character. It is pleasing to know that the unfortunate victim was not in the full possession of his faculties, and that the outrage of which he was guilty was most probably the result of a sudden impulse, rather than of any deliberate intention to insult or injure her Most Gracious MAJESTY. Under these circum stances, we are quite contented that the degradation of corporal punishment has been spared, not on account of the station and respectabi lity of his family, for that would, in an ordinary case, have rendered a disgraceful penalty more es sential, but on account of his mental imbecility, which, although it could not excuse, in some degree mitigates the crime. The punishment of trans portation was most suitable, for every care will be taken of the unfortunate man, who will be kept in that seclusion and under that control which he so much requires. The effect of the verdict will be very important; for not only will it deter persons of weak mind from venturing on similar outrages, and afford full protection to our beloved QUEEN, but it will constitute an important precedent in all cases in which insanity may be set up as a defence on trivial or insufficient grounds. Although subjects of more national importance are now lying under the consideration of the Imperial Legislature, we are most earnestly solicitous that the Parliament may not evince any further indifference in regard to the architectural embellishment and im provement of Westminster. The enormous sums squandered on the erection of their own palace afford us very powerful arguments in demanding the atten tion of the popular representatives to projects affect• ing the propriety or impropriety of that extravagant expenditure. We might appeal, of course, to divers classical authorities in justification of our thus beseeching the regard of our law-givers to the requirements of the metropolis in reference to its general embellishment. We might remind them that TRAJAN was not idly lavishing his imperial re sources when raising at Rome those gorgeous edi fices which :even now, in their ruins and decay, attest the pride of a military despotism, and the pomps of a civilised though pagan antiquity. We might aver with equal truth, that the moral and social elevation of the Greeks was, in no small degree dependent on that superb munificence of PERICLES, which encrusted the Acropolis with palaces of marble, with statues fashioned by the chisel of PHIDIAS, and with figures of gold and ivory moulded under the hand of PRAXITILES. We prefer, however, appealing in this instance only to the right reason and common sense of the Legislature. Upon the merest economical considerations, we conceive that the matter referred to demands the most serious scrutiny and the most careful calculation. After expending many millions of pounds sterling upon the public structures of West minster, it would be deplorable to reflect that the whole scheme must be marred by an unexpected and mistaken parsimony. Such a course would be alike disgraceful to the wealthiest nation of Christen dom, and injurious to a locality invested with his torical interest by its many noble and stirring asso ciations. Unfortunately, we have had too frequent reason to lament the fickleness of the popular enthu siasm in regard to enterprises of this particular cha racter. It will not be forgotten, for example, that a similar proposal to the one now being carried into operation under the auspices of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose, and of tilt Noble Lord the Prime Minister of England—the proposal for the erection of a memorial statue of Sir ROBERT PEEL, by penny subscriptions to a poor man's testimonial—' was made as far back as 1847, and abandoned through the want of the necessary contributions. Again, it cannot have escaped the recollection of many with what ardour the project of raising a monument to WILLI tsa CARTON was undertaken, or with what disgraceful levity it was thrown aside soon after wards. The remembrance of these facts, while de rogating largely from the stability of the national character, only incites us the more energetically to force upon the attention of the multitude at large, and more especially upon that of the Parliament, the ne cessity of preventing the display of similar fickleness in this particular instance on the part of the Legislature. Already we have observed that considerable credit is due to the Hon. Baronet the Member for the Uni versity of Oxford, through whose instrumentality the absurd project of building a temporary bridge across the Thames at Westminster was happily referied to the examination of a Select Committee. That project we then characterised as most pre posterous, for a multitude of considerations. The necessity of building any such bridge is solely dependent on the selection for the permanent one of the site at present occupied on the river. That site we have surely by this time found to o ur cost to be about the very worst th at could possibly have been chosen from the source of the Thames, at Seven- Springs near Cheltenham, down to its union with the waters of the Channel, near th e I s l e of Thanet. Again and again we have had to bolster up th e old -struc ture, insomuch that no less th an 70,000/. sterling have been squandered upon ineffectual re pairs. Yet it is this very spot that is still clung to with such exasperating tenacity by men who might assuredly, by this time, have discovered the insecurity of the foundation. A moment's re flection, one would imagine, might have proved enough to demonstrate the folly of devoting 100,000/. to a bridge of a merely temporary character, just one-third of the amount calculated as necessary for a new and permanent bridge at Westminster. Any thing more idle than this was never, we are bold to say, propounded by any set of wiseacres, much less seriously submitted for the acceptance of the British Parliament. We are rejoiced, however, to observe that not only is the whole . project referred to a Select Committee, in accordance with the very judicious suggestion of Sir ROBERT HARRY INGLIS, but that the report of the Committee of 1846 will be again brought under investigation. That report, now lying before us, is accompanied by a map of the metropolis, re vealing in glaring colours the blunders hitherto made in attempts to improve the cities of London and Westminiter ; the alternate prodigality and niggard liness ; the extravagance displayed in some instances of scarcely any importance whatever, and the parsi mony shown in others where munificence would have been eminently justifiable. Among other proposals, for example, which have been made by Lord LINCOLN and others, and which have been hitherto shamefully neglected, is the one for throwing down the cluster of houses at Spring-gardens, and opening the magnificent avenue of the Mall to Charing cross. Were this now accomplished, and the marble arch removed to the extremity of the Mall fronting Trafalgar-square, a direct line might be opened along the Strand from Buckingham Palace, one of the noblest improvements that could well be effected in any portion of the metropolis. Our attention at present, however, is turned almost exclusively to the plans for the construction of a per manent bridge at Westminster ; and earnestly is it to be hoped that the site for the new bridge may be somewhat lower down the river—firstly, because the site occupied by the old bridge affords no security to the foundations—secondly, because from its proximity to the new Houses of Parliament it inter feres materially with the effect produced by that sumptuous edifice—thirdly, because the necessity for building a temporary bridge might by that means be altogether foregone, the old bridge pre senting ample facilities for the continuance of traffic during the alterations—fourthly, because the change would, with a trifling additional expenditure, facili tate the more comprehensive schemes for the laying open of new thoroughfares throughout Lambeth, as well as Westminster. It is most fervently to be hoped that at a period so peculiarly propitious as the present OeiLegislature may not be deterred from countenanc ing these noble schemes of improvement out of a spirit of over-economy, a spirit ill befitting the wealth of the British capital, and altogether unbe coming to the proverbial enterprise of Englishmen. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The amendment carried by the ultra-Legitimatists, aided by some of the ultra-Socialists, which enacts that every writer in a public journal shall sign his name to the article he writes, bill most probably seal the fate uf the Ministerial proposition for the destruc tion of the liberty of the press, by ensuring its re jection as an ensemble. The Journal des Debuts, which cannot be accused of any regard for the liberty of the press, thus speaks of this amendment : " We quite agree in the desire to guard against the li centiousness of the press. We do not wish for inviolability, but we think that all reasonable guarantees already exist. The gerant is now answerable for libels. Is not his re sponsibility sufficient? In all the respectable journals the gerant and the editor are identified. The gerant lodges the fourth of the caution-money; and, moreover, as he is at the same time leading editor, he is in point ot fact the sole and only editor, answerable for libel when such is com mitted, seeing that it is the publication which constitutes the offence. Bence the responsibility of the gerant is not a falsehood or a fiction, but a real and serious gua rantee. Would the obligation to sign articles add to this guarantee? Not in the least. They who say, then, that the gerant is not the sole and actual libeller, when they talk of the public insulters, from whose face the mask must be torn, they only prove their complete ig norance of the system ot journalism. The writers who deserve the name of public insulters are not of the order who love the anonymous. Such writers revel in noise and scandal. It is just the public insulter who signs his articles; he writes tor scandal, and puts his name down that the scandal may be the greater. He signs, too, to relieve the gerant responsibility, if not before the law, at least before public opinion." The effect of the adoption of this amendment will be, as the Ordre justly observes, to drive away or to embarrass men of scrupulous, or perhaps timid, dis positions, who, holding a certain position in the world, would fear to engage personally in rude con troversy, and who, owing to their influence or their renown, would be obliged to act with a certain deli cacy towards others. On the other hand, it offers a sort of prize in the shape of noise, eclat, and scandal to novices and persons of audacity. It opens, too, a source of fraud to desperate men, who would not hesitate to sell their signatures, and at the same time would give an ever-ready pretext to the police to search the offices of a journal. It would create, in fine, inextricable confusion. _ _ The speech of M. VICTOR HUGO told with tre mendous effect on the members of the parti-pretre, who winced under its sarcasm, and howled like wild beasts under the lash of the tamer. M. Emma DE GIRARDIN has calculated that VICTOR HUGO was in terrupted no less than 30,000 times by the members of the parti-pretre, a proof of the telling effect which that speech produced on those for whose especial be nefit it was intended. M. LBVERRIEN has presented the following propo sition to the Assembly ; it is a scheme to enable the Government to deport from Paris any individual they may choose. Laving destroyed universal suffrage, na tional education, and the liberty of the press, the reac tionaries now attack the liberty of the individual. "Art. I.

The Gazette de France announces that the Comte DE CHAMBORD (the Legitimatist Pretender) will be at Aix-la-Chapelle in the course of a few days, and suggests to the Legitimatists the propriety of a pil grimage on the occasion. The Legitimatist move ments are regarded by the PRESIDENT with consider able apprehension.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 tales, of which 2,000 American were taken on speculation. Americans wore id. to id., and all other descriptions id. per lb. dearer. The sales comprised 6,500 American, 1,000 Maranham at 71d. to 7d., 400 Bahia at Bd., 300 Egyptian at 74d. to Bd., and 1,500 Surat at Cid. to 51d. per lb.—ln Railway Shares only a limited bu.iness was done. _ _ The prices of Colonial produce have been depressed this week in the instance of Sugar, and Coffee has also been dull. There has been a full supply of most articles. Indigo is selling well. The Wool sales closed last evening. Mr. Henry P. Hughes reports that " the attendance of both home and continental buyers was good through out. The satisfactory accounts of the opening and pro gress of the German fairs, together with the continued activity in our manufacturing districts, had somewhat led us to expect previous rates would have been sustained, but the increased quantity necessarily brought forward, with further large sales expected to follow in six weeks after the termination of the prt.set,t, not only prevented the r( alization of such hopes, but buyers also, particularly from the continent, under these cir cumstances being unwilling to stock themselves to any extent at former rates, has led to a reduction of about ld. per lb. average of all sorts. The general assortment of the present sales was good, but cun•ained a large proportion of hurry and moity wool, by far the greatest quantity Sydney. The reduction on this class of wool (lid. to 2d. per lb.) is of course no criterion as to the state of our market in general, for most purchasers appear now, more than ever, to have made up their minds, while clean wool is to obtained, almoit to neglect this class altogether, or take it at such a reduction as will recompense them for the delay, trouble, and expense in clearing the wool of this objectionable drawback." The directors of the North Staffordshire Railway have forwarded to the shareholders a copy of the report of the Committee of Investigation into the accounts, &c., from its formation to December, 1849, and in rever ence thereto they state, " The report does not venture directly to impugn either the judgment, the diligence, or the discretion with which the undertaking has been managed, and concludes with the unavoidable admission that the directors have not ' promoted their own private advantages at the expense of the company,' but it is alto gether silent on the charges which must bo fresh in the recollection of the proprietors as those upon which the proxies were obtained, and which led to the appointment of the committee. The directors think that the report should have distinctly stated which of those charges had been substantiated, or candidly avowed that they had entirely failed ; nor can the directors consider any statements satisfactory which which would appear to have for their object to depre ciate the value of the property, and to put, even to ex aggeration, the worst possible complexion on everything connected with the undertaking, per haps in order to justify the necessity of the inquiry. The directors presume to think that a more accurate record and a more complete exposition of the finances, proceedings, and prospects of the company may be found in the past reports, which they have accordingly reprinted in anticipation, and which they enclose fur the information of the proprietors. Although it would seem at the present time all encouragement is considered as deceit, and that a hopeful view in the prospects of a railway company is mistrusted as proceeding from in terested motives, the directors nevertheless are bound to state that in their belief there is no undertaking of the kind in a more healthy and honest condition: the mortgage debt is comparatively small; the current receipts exceed the current expenses; and no further advances will be required from the shareholders. Notwithstanding, therefore, the difficulties with which they have been surrounded, and those which are still to be encountered, the directors anticipate a continually-increasing surplus of receipts over the ex penditure, until, by the development of the resources of the line, and the vindication of the traffic which natu rally belongs to it, the railway shall at no distant period yield a more than average return for the capital invested."

Upwards of 14,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have reached us. Selected qualities of both red and white moved off steadily at very full prices. The middling and inferior kinds were steady. No English Barley offering ; but the supply of foreign was on the increase. O❑ the whole, a good business was transacted at full quotations. We bad a fair demand for Malt, and late rates were well supported. Good sound Oats were in request, at full prices. Se condary parcels met a slow inquiry.

The following appeared in the Madrid Heraldo of the 2d July : "El Galignani del 26 de junio copis del periOdico ingles el Sun el siguiente parrafo:— " 'Las cartes de Madrid contienen rumores de graves diferencias entre Narvaez y el duque de Montpensier. Se dice tambien que en un baile dado por el ministro napolitano, ptincipe de Carini, hiza Narvaez un grosero insulto al embajador americano, que se acerc6 a salu dark.. "Nada tengo que decir, grit 6 Narvaez, a un eugeto que repre:.enta una nacion que alberga pinatas y foments felonies piThlicas." Despues de decir estas pale bras en un tono de voz que pudo oirse en toda la sale, Narvaez cone la conversation con el plenipotenciario americano, que tambien fee desairado (was cut) por todos los espanoles que estaban presentes.' " Podemos desmentir de la manera mas terminante los absurdos rumores que este pirrafo reproduce. Ni hay ni ha habido las diferencias, ni graves ni pequenas, de que en 61 se habla; y en cuanto is la supuesta escena con el representante de los Estados-Unides, pare creer que es verdad es preciso no conocer al General Nar vaez, ni tenor noticia de la cortesia y de la urbanidad, proprias de un caballero y de un personaje de su elevada posicion, con que trate, no solo a los representantes de las potencies amigas, sine a todas las personas, sea cual flume su categoria, que tienen la honra de acercarsele. Declaramos, puss, terminantemente que es falso cuanto contieue el permit) que acabamos de copier." TRANSLATION. " Galignani of the 26th Jane, copies from an English periodical, The Sun, the following paragraph:— " Letters from Madrid contain rumours of various differences between Narvaez and the Duke of Montpen sier. It is also said that at a ball given by the Neapoli tan Minister, the Prince de Carini, Narvaez offered a gross insult to the American Ambassador, who ap proached to salute him. "I will h ave nothing to say," shouted Narvaez, "to a person that represents a nation that harbours pirates and encourages public felonies." After saying these words in a tone of voice loud enough to be heard all over the room, Narvaez turned his back on the American Plenipotentiary, who was also " cut" by all the Spaniards present.' " We are able to contradict in the most decided manner the absurd rumours which the foregoing para graph has reproduced. There is not now, nor has there been, any difference, either great or small, of the kind spoken of. And in regard to the supposed scene with the representative of the united States, in order to be lieve that this is true, is not to know General Narvaez, nor to have any knowledge of the courtesy and urbanity becoming a gentleman and a person of his elevated posi tion, with which he treats not only the representatives cf friendly powers, but all p ersons , w h a t ever m ay b e their rank, who have the h onour to a p proac h hi m . W e declare, that the whol e p aragrap h, w hich we have just thciefido quoted, hetteder,nai is the Gover nmen t o r g an, and there fore, s absol u t e ly f a l se. " i the above must be taken as an official contradic tion. It is also, par excellence, the journal of Nar vaez, which accounts for the eulogium on his courtesy, urbanity, &c., which will surprise none so much as those who know him best. The intelligence of the rumours alluded to, was contained in a letter from Madrid, and the report must have been circulated pretty extensively, as the Madrid correspondent of a morning contem porary also mentioned it in nearly the same terms. We earnestly beg those M.P.'s who are supporters of the Marriage Bill to be in their places to-night. On looking at the division we find that the following metropolitan members were absent, who are all in favour of the Bill :—Alderman Humphery, Mr. Dun combe, Sir J. Duke, Sir W. Clay, Mr. G. Thomp son, Mr. C. Pearson, Sir De Lacy Evans, Mr. Lush ington. Four Members voted for the Bill who had not voted before, viz.: Hon. Gerard Noel, Sir J. Owen, Lord G. Paget, Mr. Pendarves. Not one Member has turned over to the opponents of the measure, and nothing is now required but the con tinued support of its friends. LAW APPOINTMENTS —lt is rumoured that Vice: Chancellor Shadwell resigns his office, and that there is a probability, before the week is out, that Sir John Romilly, the new Attorney-General, will succeed to the Vice-Chan cellorship, and that Mr. Cockburn will be made Attorney- General, and Mr. Roebuck Solicitor-General. Having no communication with any official quarter, we are, of course, unable to vouch for the accuracy of these reports.—Chronicle.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, an electric telegraph message was received at the Waterloo•road terminus of the South Wes tern Railway, describing a most serious burglary, which was committed during the preceding night in the premises be longing to Mr. Emanuel, pawnbroker and silversmith, car ryiny on business in High-street, Southampton. On Mr. Emanuel coming down stairs in the morning, to his no small astonishment he discovered that the premises had been entered, and every article in the window stolen. The pro perty consisted of nearly fifty silver watches, a similar num ber of gold ditto, a vast number of gold wedding and dress rings, some pounds weight of gold chains, gold and silver tankards, silver spoons, salvers, and various other articles of plate and jewellery, the whole being of the value of between 8001. and 1,000/. LEICESTER.—On the arrival of the up-mail train at Loughborough station, on Friday evening last, a first-class passenger was missed from one of the carriages in which he had been placed at Derby. The telegraph was set to work to send a pilot-engine from Leicester station, and ascertain if possible what had become of him. Notice was also to be given to the engineers of the down-mail train to be on the look-out for him. There was no spare engine to be got at Leicester, consequently a telegraphic message was sent to Derby, and a pilot engine was dispatched from that town in quest of him. When the down-mail had got near to Keg worth, the passenger was seen lying by the side of the rails. On stopping the train and proceeding to his assistance, he was found quite dead, and the train had taken off a portion of one foot. Whether the unfortunate man jumped out through the window (for he was locked in), or was leaning over the side and overbalanced himself, is not known, but the probability is that it was intentionally done. We understand his name to be Harley, a traveller for a London house, who was on his way from the north to London. His remains were interred at Kingston, near Kegivortb, on 'unday.

(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON, Mr. Justice PATTESON, and Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) _ THE CASE OF WALTER WATTS. Walter Watts, who stands convicted of having stolen a piece of paper, the property of his employers, the pro prietors of the Globe Insurance Company, was this morning put forward for the purpose of receiving the judgment of the Court. Mr. Baron ALDERSON passed sentence in the follow ing terms:—Walter Watts, you were tried at the last sessions but one of the Central Criminal Court, before myself and my brother Cresswell, for the offence of robbing so a very considerable amount the Globe In surance Company, of which you were a servant, as charged in the indictment. A point was reserved in your case for the consideration of the Criminal Court of Appeal, while the count upon which you was found guilty was apparently for a very trivial offence, namely, steal ing a piece of paper, but in truth a cheque, which had been in your custody as the servant of the company, and the point reserved was whether your destroying it for a corrupt and wicked purpose was an act of felony on your part. That question was fully discussed before the Court of Criminal Appeal, and it has been deter mined against you. lam not going to state the reasons for that determination; they have already been fully ex plained by the Learned Judge who presided on the oc casion, the late Chief Justice of the:Court of Common Pleas, and which satisfied him that the judgment of the Court should be pronounced against you at these ses sions. We have therefore taken into our serious con sideration the extent of punishment which the Court ought to give you. The offence of which you have been convicted is on the face of it very trivial, but the actual offence you committed was of a serious and heavy character, for no one can doubt that the only reason why you took that cheque, which had been returned into your custody by the bankers, was because you had appro priated to yourself the moneys which that cheque was intended to represent. Therefore, though the formal charge was in itself the stealing of a mere piece of paper, probably of no more value than a penny, yet no one can doubt that the verdict of the jury in finding you guilty of that offence clearly and irresistibly implies that in that case you committed a robbery to the extent of 1,400/. There are other charges against you of a much larger complexion, and the Court, therefore, mean to punish you, not merely for that of which you have been convicted, but for the actual robberies you have com mitted. Either you forged the cheque, which was per haps your real offence, and having got money upon it, you destroyed that which would have been evidence of your guilt, or it was a genuine cheque upon which you obtained money and fraudulently applied it to your own purposes, instead of that of your employers. One of these two alternatives is irresistibly deduced from the fact of your having stolen this piece of paper; and, therefore, in either view of the case you have been guilty of a grave offence. We are desirous of explaining these circumstances to you, in order that it may not be assumed that we are passing a severe sentence upon you for simply stealing a piece of paper. We are sentencing you for what you have really done, namely, stolen from your employers the sure of 1,4001.; and the sentence upon you is that you be transported for ten years.
