The existence of this punishment enfeebles the decision of their tribunals, for the magnitude of the punishment threw the crime into the shade. The decisions of the jury ought to be clear and distinct, and not overshadowed by the magnitude of the penalty imposed by the law. But what was the effect upon the public—the public to whom they ought first of all to look—the public for whose sake it was said that capital punishments were to be continued as an example ? Why, if ca pital punishment was to be continued, should they not make it a solemn, a serious ceremony? why not in vest it with all the dignity of decorum ? But, instead of that, it was carried out hurriedly, at an early hour of the morning, and had no salutary effect. But what was the glorious example it was said to inculcate ? Would they wish any of their relatives, any of their children, to witness an excecution with the view of inculcating a deep moral lesson ? What father would take his children to witness such an exhibition ? None. Yet they held that such exhibi tions were for the public good ; but were the people whom they ought to do all in their power to elevate, in stead of debasing and demoralizing, to be allowed longer to witness such sanguinary spectacles, and to have their natures thereby perverted and hardened ? What, he would ask, was the effect of an exhibition upon the crowd who witnessed it ? It was expected, as he had said, to do good ; but they left it with abhor rence and disgust. And move, it had been proved— repeatedly proved—that the spectators were brutalised, that many had subsequently become criminals, and that a great majority of the number who bad been executed bad, at some period of their lives, witnessed au executicn.—(Hear, hear.) If it conferred good upon the public if it inculcated a great moral lesson its infliction ought to be more dignified, instead of hurrying it over as if they were ashamed of what they were doing. Its effect was bad in the extreme, for after the criminal was rather con sidered a hero than pitied. Attempts had been made to get the punishment inflicted in private, in order that the public mind might not be brutalised; but if it were made private what rvould become of the example they wished to inculcate?—there was an end of it at once. But further, if they established private executions, where then was their great moral example ? Such punish ments could not be inflicted in a free country without re ceiving the full force and pressure of public opinion ; and in a country like England, no punishment that did not fully combine the feeling of public aeprobation, could be long maintained it must have the full expres sion of this opinion in its favour. It mi4ht be said that public opinion went in favour of the law, but the peti tions which he had presented that night would show that this was not so. And not only these petitions, but daily experience and the annually growing feeling of the country was against the punishment of death. But it might be asked, what would he substitute for it ? Under the refinement of the system of punishment which had taken place thep might fairly substitute imprisonment for life. '1 his had been tried in other countries, and he saw no reason why it should not be tried in this. It was said this system of punishment was not severe enough; in his opinion it was far more severe on the individual than the punishment of death, while it held out some prospect of the reformation of the criminal. Iu shorter periods of imprisonment the prisoner might come out, if not altogether improved, at least compara tively pure. This might be done by imprisonment, and if legislation could not accomplish every thing, it might do much towards alleviating the evils by which the pre sent system was beset. But it was not for the object of punishment that the imprisonment should be imposed, so much as the reformation of the prisoner, and they must strike deeper than that for the extirpation st crime. They must educate the people, and not leave them to conceive that punishment was to become a sort of re venge. There were two sorts of education—one which was internal, and which arose from the operations of the mind itself ; and the other which was external, derivable from the influence of external objects. Those were the means by which they were to effect the improvement of the culprit, for if they looked to the periods when the punishments were most severe, they would find that crime was at that time most frequent. They need not look to the time of Henry the Eighth, when 70,000 persons were executed, but to contemporaneous history they would find from the excellent book of the King of Sweden, that in Spain, where crime was most frequent there was one execution to every 150,000 persons, but in Sweden there was one only to every 170,000 of the population. The Hon. Member then quoted certain statistics to show that in those countries where the punishment of death was less frequent, the crime of murder was proportionably di minished. He was aware this subject required the exercise of great patience on the part of the House, as the argu ments were neither very new nor very interesting ; but there was one point to which he must refer, he meant the consideration of this questio in connexion with the doctrine of Christian repeutance. Some of the opponents of the abolition of the punishment of death had conceded that two or three, four, five, or ten days should be granted for repentance, but they thus con ceded the principle that the abolition of all capital punishment was necessary, as who could tell what period was required for repentance. In all periods of the his tory of the world, when civilisation had advanced to the highest point, and the greatest wish was shown to avoid the infliction of the punishment of death, in the high and palmy days of Rome, at the close of her Republic, when she had attained the period of her highest grandeur, and her greatest civilisation, they found in the fourth oration of Cicero against Cate line, that there were many among them who said " itiortem a diis immortulibus non supplicii eansam esse datam ; itaque cum sapientis nunquam inviti fortes saepe libenter oppetiverunt."They found that this aversion to inflict the punishment of death was admirably depicted in a speech of Mons. De Lamartine some years ago in the Chamber of Deputies in Paris. He called :upon the House to unite with him in re pealing the punishment of death, to achieve thereby a great social, moral, and religious victory, and to ofrer up a last sacrifice, expiatory of the sanguinary legislation of the past, upon the united altars of civilisa tion and Christianity. Dr. BOWRING, in seconding the motion, said that every discussion which took place in that House, and out of doors brought the time nearer when the total aboli tion of capital punishment would takeplace. Success had hitherto attended every attempt to mitigate the severity of the criminal laws of the country, and he doubted not but that the same result would follow the total abolition of the punishment of death. It would be found that a dis regard of human life was always associated with a state of barbarism, and that a disposition to reverence ' the sacredness of life, and an unwillingness to throw it away, was the great, the distin guishing boast of civilisation and christianity. and the furtherst advance of civilisation and phi losophy. It would be found also that in a state of society in which human life was wasted there would also be found the greatest amount of crime. The legisturo wanted to create a horror of the crime of murder, and yet by means of their legislation they be came murderers themselves ; they wished to surround life by safeguards, and yet by their systems of punish ment they strove to overthrow and destroy it. If it was the intention of the legislature to cherish life, they should not take it away themselves.—(clear.) The murderer was a man of universal abhorrence, and he undoubtedly ought to be so ; but did they effect their object by this mode of punishment ? Had executing impressed upon the public mind any additional horror? By no means It appeared to him that of all the human beings who gather around the scaffold, the greatest number of them applaud the courage and heroism of the falfferer, instead of decrying his crime. Let them begin themselves at the right end, by showing that they were no t willing to destroy life—let them show that life, in their estimate, was a thing too valuable to be spilt or thrown away , and thus, by adding to the san c tity o f life, they would lacreate a new state of things, and so im prove the public mind, as even to eff e ct a r e f orma ti on i n the ' man who was disposed to thro w lif e awa y. Th e sacrifices of life,, d a i n a d ued eamount of suffering the pu nishment led to, h y li t i:o think th a t some ot h er mode of punishment could safety and propriety be adopted. It was most gratifyin o ccrtrast the legisla tion of the past with the legi 3 i s t o t : present, inas eyhad already much as it proved that the expesi ments t l e made had been successful, and he hopedutohnevHouse would, therefore, agree to the motion ofh Sir GEORGE GREY regretted that he could agree to the Bill which the Hon. Gentleman h:t sought leave to introduce. On the present occasion, it was true he had avoided the objection which was for merly entertained with respect to a similar motion which the Hon. Gentleman made some years ago. In 1841, he believed the Hon. Gentleman brought forward a resolution, which, if it had been adopted, would have affirmed that, in the opinion of that House, capital punishment ought to be altogether abolished. Such a resolution as that was open to the gre atest objections, and would have had the effect, if it had been adopted; o f placing ; those intrusted with the administration of the hore, in a very painful end clifficul; Poiti9ll' The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in addressing the grand jury, expressed his satisfaction, that since the last time he addressed them, there had been a Bill brought into Parlia ment, on the subject of criminal jurisprudence, but he had not as yet had an opportunity of acquainting himself with its provisions. He trusted, however, that it indicated a move in the right direction, and that a better system would supersede the old feudal principles so long prevailing. In dealing with children convicted of even the pettiest larceny, they had gAse on the principle of inflicting punishment, and punishment alone, without the slightest re gard for those means of moral suasion likely to effect a re formation, or act upon a child's mind. He would ask the gentlemen of the grand jury, as parents themselves, whether such a system es that adopted at Psi khurst was likely to reform the juvenile offenders sent there. In that prison were al number of solitary cells, in which the boys were locked up for four months after their admission, by the way (as was stated) of preparing them for their future reformation, and while there, they saw no one except the governor or chap lain, had plenty of knitting work to do, and also plenty of good books to read ; but the misfortune was, that previous to putting those books into their hands, they had never been taught to understand them. He thought such treatment tended to harden and stupify many of those unfortunate children, and that a milder system, in which rewards suitable to childish capacities would be the stimulant instead of the abstract idea of becoming good and respectable members of society some twenty or thirty years hence. One of the rewards adopted as a stimulus to the boys in that prison was, that if 'well conducted, they were rewarded by being allowed to communicate with their friends and relatives, but in his opinion nothing could be more absurd, for too many of these unfortunate children had neither friends nor relatives in the world. Many persons seemed to treat the suggestions for the reformation of juvenile offenders by milder means as a visionary scheme, but the same was said with respect to the proposals of those advocating moral pwer over physical coercion in the treatment of the insane, and he felt sure that the result would be as successful in one case as in the 43 , her, J.

Mr. BROTHEREON said that when the slave trade existed, there were persons ready to justify it by scrip tural quotations. The words did not convey a precept, but merely pointed out the law of retribution, the words were of the same character as these, " Be who loves the sword will perish by it." The House then divided, when there appeared— For the motion 4l Against it William Henry Vain and Catherine Sullivan were indicted for stealing two shirts, the property of the guardians of the poor of the Stepney union. It a7peartd from the statement of Mr. Ballantine, who attended on the part of the guardians, that both the prisoners were pauper inmates of the Mile-End workhouse, the female prisoner being employed in the laundry, and on the 26th of February she was observed by another pauper, to give the two stints to the prisoner Vain, who hid them under his bed ding. He was searched as he was in the act of going out, in about three days afterwards, when the shirts were found con cealed under his coat. The jury at once returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoners were each sentenced to be imprisoned, and kept to bard labour for six months. Ann Page, for stealing a drinking glass, the property of Mr. William Jarman, the landlord of the Hop-pole public house, was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. James Cremoning for picking the pocket of Reginald Robert Walpole, was sentenced to three mouths' imprison ment and hard labour. Majority. So the motion was lost.

England and Wales were divided into superintendent registrars dis tricts and registrars districts. It was proposed to obtain from each registrar's districts through England and Wales the returns required, by appointing a person to be called the agricultural enumerator, and upon whom would be placed the duty of leaving with every farmer a form, to be filled up, and then, having taken it from the farmer, it would be forwarded to the superintendent re gistrar, who would forward it to the registrar-general in London, by whom the document would be transmitted to the Board of Trade. The operation of that Bill would be confined to England and Wales, but if it were thought desirable to extend its operation to Ireland, a plain was under consideration, by which the executive could obtain the necessary returns. He did not think it necessary to dwell upon the importance of obtaining a knowledge of the agricultural produce of the United Kingdom, and he did not think any plan which had been proposed better calculated to etf,ct that • object. It was important that they should know the number of acres sown with whe it, barley, and oats. lie would, however, lay the Bill be fore them, and then they would be better able to judge of the machinery by which it was worked. Mr. HUME did not ag ree with the principle of the Bill about to be introduce. Under the present Com mutation of Tithes Act, the acre and their produce were enumerated to a square yard and a bushel. It would be a useless expenditure of the public money, and the pro cess would occupy until the day of judgment before the return could be made.

Joseph Newman, described on the charge sheet as a gen tleman, was brought before Mr. Coifingham, charged with assaulting Mr. Willshire, a grocer, residing in Tooiey-street, also with attempting to steal a silver liqueur-stand and a large gravy spoon. Mr. Wil!shire said that the prisoner was his brother-in. law and had for some time with kis wife lived on bis bounty. Witness advanced him several sums of money at various times on the security of his plate and other articles. While witness was at church on Sunday, the prisoner contrived to get pos session of the plate produced, and that morning was in the act of leaving the house with it, when he stopped him. The prisoner knocked him down, and had not the police come to his assistance, he believed he would have murdered him. He had no wish to press the latter part of the charge, but only required protection from his violence. The prisoner said it was quite true that himself and wife were residing at Mr. Wiltshire's, but he had sufficient pro• party to pay him whatever he expended. His wife was now exceedingly ill, and required the attendance of a physician, and it was for the purpose of paying one that be was about to take the plate from the house. He considered himself much ill-used by the complainant.
