INTENDED EXECUTION.

Richard Standing, who was sentenced at the late assizes
to be hanged, for waylaying, ill-treating, and robbing his late
master, Noah Mann, at- Kirdford, under very aggravated cir
cumstances, will, .we hear, be executed on Saturday at twelve
o'clock, in front of Horsham gaol, where the convict is now
tying. The friends of the aboftion of capital punishments
Ahould therefore be on the alert, or another life will be sacri-
ficed to a sanguinary law.—Brighton Guardian.
[ This offence is one which the House of Commons, in 1834,
unanimously voted should be no longer capital. Under Lord
John Russell's Act of last year, the capital penalty was re-
enacted ; but it passed by a majority of only one; the division
of 1911 May, being 74 for restricting the punishment of death
to murder alone, and 75 against it. Under these circumstances
,ve entreat of Lord John Russell to pause before he revives
an unpopular and sanguinary penalty, which, as it regards
robbery, had for several years fallen into desuetude.]

MAD DOGS.—The " mad-dog cry " appears to
have commenced in several parts of enlightened England.
The alarmists have begun in time, for we hale many months
before us yet till those terrible dog-days come when hydro-
phobia stalks abroad seeking whom its canine emissaries may
bite, madden, and devour.

THE DUBLIN ELECTION. —Yesterday, a meeti,:g• of the in-
habitants of the Metropolitan parish of St. Miellzmg, took
place, for the purpose of making arrangements to culleci A
fund to assist in defraying the enormous expellees incurred in
defending the seats of the sitting Members for Dublin against
the Spottiswoode Conspiracy. Officers were appointed, and
active measures undertak.n to muster a collection worthy
of the purpose. All the other Metropolitan parishc s will
pursue this course, and so it is hoped will several provincial
towns ; and it is well known that all the money collected for
Mr. O'Connell in the shape of a tribute, and which is so often
thrown in his face by Tory sinecurists, would not defray the
outlay made in the defence of his own seats and those of his
sons. It is gratifying, however, that his outlay has been to
some purpose.

The Waterford Mirror of this doy eontails several eases of
arrest and distrainment for tithes. This is rather bad upon
the eve of an arrangement of the question.
