THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR OXFORD. OXFORD, WEDNESDAY.--A.n inquest was held this after noon before Mr. Brunner, at the Radcliffe Infirmary, on the , body of John Williams, another of the unfor tunate sufferers in the Late fatal railway accident near this city, who expired on Monday morning, at ten o'clock. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned the same verdict as at the late inquiry.

Is his commuted sentence compatible with any strong doubt of his guilt in the minds of the responsible authorities ? Is he not treated by it as a great - criminal ? It is not my purpose, and would be beside my present argument, to enter upon the analysis of the evidence on which he was convicted, or the dismission of the different pleas which have been so rife in the newspapers. I assume that, in the proper quarter, they have been weighed and found wanting. Had it been otherwise, common justice and common sense demanded; not a commutation of hanging for transporta tion, but a free pardon. For be it remembered the case is not one of extenuating circumstances. That ground is taken by nobody. The question is simply guilt or in nocence ; atrocious guilt or entire innocence. The highest human authority has decided for guilt, and has also not decided not to hang the murderer. And the public mind acquiesces in the decision. Here, then, is a deliberate determination—a judicial, a governmental, and a national determination—that, not certainty, but uncer tainty of inflction shall be the attribute of capital punish ment. It is of no use to call the authorities to account I It is of no use to call public opinion to account. What is done has been done advisedly, and will be done again and again. A different course may be imagined —as what Utopian theory may not be cherished ?—but what power, or what period, shall " bring it to pass ?" I have entered upon no abstract arguments. I cite no texts from the New Testament. I appeal to no array of jurisprudential, philosophical, or philanthropic autho rities. I make no question of the right of society over the lives of its individual members. I urge no humane, objection s t o th e pun i shment itself, nor have I traced its brutalising influences. Aild assuredly I have not indulged in "sentimental ejaculatious." The principle laid down in the latest defence of the gallows is, that "the secret of moral effect is certainty." On that has the reasoning of this letter been constructed. Capital punishment is, from its own nature, and that of human beings, incapable of certainty, and, therefore, of being efficacious, whatever Mr. Calcraft or the Times may say to the contrary. PußLlcora. lORBID 'SYMPATHY FOR CRIMINALS. tible with accidental drowning or death fron - a epilepsy. They were compatible with only one state of things— death by suffocation and compression on dry land, where the seaweed lay upon the sand. The hour of the death was proved by several independent witnesses, who accurately time the three horrible shrieks of the dying woman as having been uttered a few minutes after seven o'clock in the evening. It was evident at about that hour the unfortunate lady had been decoyed to the spot where her bathing cap was found, and there thrown down, the damp sheet held fercibly down upon her face, whilst her murderer knelt upon her belly ; and that in her straggles to tear down the sheet from her mouth, she tore the ear ring out of her ear, and scratched her own face and neck ; that she succeeded three times in freeing her mouth for an instant, and that it was then she uttered those fearful shrieks which were described by the witnesses as having been `cut off.' Thus, and thus only, could her nose have been bent, and one of her eyes kept from bursting out with congestion—thus was her belly stuck as far at least as the depth of his own knees, and her body com mitted to the ebbing tide, he not seeing the little rock which finally stopped it, and over which there.was then 21 inches of water. When he returned to gather up the clothes and put them where they were to be found, he lost sight of or dropped the bathing cap, which too much resembled the seaweed to be readily noticed. " Thus, sir, of the fact of the lady having been mur dered and most cunningly murdered, there was not the shadow of doubt. The next question was—Who was the murderer I "Her husband stood before us charged with being the man. Under what circumstances charged ? "He was a bad husband. That was not much in itself. "It is false to say we were prejudiced by hearing that he had borne a bad character. We did not know that he was charged with having previously murdered and robbed three or four other persons—with having been a notorious seducer—with having been posted in Dublin as a seducer and a coward, and having been beaten nearly to death by the brother of one of his many victims. All those things have come Not one l of them ht since the c was laid ommuta tion of his sentence. before the court and jury at the trial. It was merely proved that by one woman (not his wife) he had seven or eight children. We judged rathor of his conduct, than his possible or probable motives. We looked at these facts. "That eight o'clock in the evening of the 6th of Sep tember, when the sun set at twenty-two minutes after six, and when the weather was cold, showery, and, un inviting, was a strange time to appoint for the boatman to call for a party who would then have been 10 hours in the open air on that bleak island ; that there was scarcely light at seven o'clock for an artist to work by ; that, consequently, at five or ten minutes after seven, Kirwan must have been per unoccupied, and relaxed from his occupation, and he could not but have heard those frightful death-shrieks of his wife, which after passing right over the whole of the island, startled a seaman in his boat and made him call to his mates who were in the cabin ; that when he must have been altogether idle from a quarter past seven until eight o'clock, twilight having faded into night, he did not seek for his wife, who was to return with him, and with whin it was pretended he had any quarrel, his defence being that, on the contrary, he was most particularly fond of and kind to her ; that from the position in which she lay he must have readily and at once found both her body and her clothes, had he looked for her before night closed in • that when the boatmen came he was waiting at the landing -place, and that they—not he—were the first to ask where she was ; that when the search was 'com menced, hi stumbling near where the body was found, and where there was nothing to account for it, was sus picious, especially when its effect was to put forward Naugle, so as that he should have found the body ; that the finding of the clothes was also, surrounded by suspi cion ; that his throwing himself upon the body and ex hibiting frantic grief was so extreme a contrast to ilia " 80.

These are very simple truths, and very dear to Pro testants. After them the Church of Rome adds the following censure : " We respectively declare, condemn, and reprobate the above inserted proposition as false, scandalous, impious, blasphemous, heretical," &c. Having done so, the Church adds what so far justifies the Grand Duke " We charge our venerable brethren, the patriarchs, archbishops, and bishops to' coerce and compel all who oppose or resist, the aid of the secular arm being called in for this purpose if necessary." From the above extract from the canon law your readers will see that the ecclesiastical authorities of Florence have acted canonically, and that the Grand Duke has acquitted himself as becomes an obedient sub ject and son of Holy Church.—l am, sir your obedient From the _Derby Reporter. ) Undoubtedly it is a grave responsibility for judge and jury to try the issues of life and death. It is equally certain that the arguments are many and cogent in sup port of the abolision of capital punishments.

Twelve of the seamen were brought up at the instance of the commander, charged with refusing to go to sea, according to the terms of their agreement. Captain Richardson, of the Caledonia, deposed—The vessel is registered 789 tons, new measure, and 12 years old. She is now laden with 1,050 tons of coal. I cannot tell whether there are more or not. I signed weight un known. She is drawing 20 feet on an even keel. Mr. Hamilton is the broker. I shipped the men, and I pre sume they were aware at the time of the cargo. The Caledonia is going to San Francisco, California. The ship was classed "YE" a t Ll oy d' s , an d she was making two inches of water in 15 hours when she was deserted by the prisoners. One of the men alleged that she had 2 feet 6 inches in her when they left her ; but this the captain flatly denied. Mr. Littledale, secretary at Lloyd's, deposed that the surveyor, on going on board, found the l ea k was not increasing, but on further exami nation it was found that the ship was defective in some places. Mr. Mansfield said, from the result of the offi cial survey in' the present case, it is quite olear that the ship is not in a proper state to go on her voyage, and that there is no excuse whatever for the &amen being retained in custody. If the ship were repaired and could safely go, and that were proved before him, then, of course, he should think it his duty to hold the seamen to their agreement. But in the meantime they must be discharged. The prisoners then left the dock.—Liver pool Standard. ELOPEMENT FROM STOURRRIDGE.—A considerable de gree of excitement has been caused in this neighbourhood by the report that a medical man in the neighbourhood had eloped with the daughter of a highly-respectable glass manufacturer of this district. The male delinquent has long enjoyed an excellent practice, is married, and has a family of four young children. The lady is the eldest daughter of the head of a most respectable glass firm, whose specimens in glass obtained a medal at the Exhi bition of 1851. It appears that the young lady, who is only 18 years of age, was visiting a relative in Birming ham, and on Friday se'nnight . under pretence of visiting a friend, left the house, and was not heard of until her distracted father received, on Wednesday morning, a letter from her, dated Lisgard, Ireland, expressing her determination to continue with her seducer, and that a search after them would be fruitless. Subsequent in quiries prove that they left Birmingham by the Liverpool train which arrives in time for the Dublin steamer.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. STRIKE AMONGST THE SEAMEN FOR WAGES.—The sailors belonging to this port, Maryport and Harlington, turned out for wages about a week or ten days ago. The seamen belonging to the coal vessels have lately been receiving three guineas and a half per voyage to Dublin and back, and the strike was for an additional half-guinea, making the voyage amount to four guineas. The demand, we are glad to state, has been complied with, and the men have again returned to their vessels, several of which have left their respective ports for Wititeionem Het id, , THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING JANUARY 27 185 3. 2 2 - __________ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - THE UNCERTAINTY OF CAPITAL sanction the false humanity of intervening between jus- previous carelessness, that it could not be considered as LAW INTELLIGENCE. _PRICES OP' SHARES.
