themselves wi!nessed executions." Many. if not all, of the
most distinguished men of this country, have shown them-
selves friendly to the mitigation of capital punishment.
Dr. Johnson (the last person to embrace a speculative
thing), Burke, Wilberforce, Canning, Mackintosh, and
Romilly. Sir James Mackintosh thus concluded his fare-
well address to the Grand Jury of Bombay:—" This ex-
periment has been made without any diminution of the
security of the lives and properties of our folio c-subjects;
200,1)00 men have been governed for seven years without
a capital punishment, and without any increase of crime."
In offer parts, the abolition of capital punishment has
been accompanied with diminution of crime. Sir C. Met-
calfe, at Delhi, never infl c:ed death even for murder.
( From the Morning Ilerall.)
Mr. Thomas Duecombe brought forward, last night, a
motion relative to the treatment of persons convicted of
seditious libels, or of other " political offences"—a motion
bearing more especially on the c. se of Lovett and Collins,
wh ,) have been imprisoned for twelve months past in
Warwick Gaol. A very long discussion followed. Mr.
Duncombe succeeded in proving that, under the adminis-
tration of the liberty-loving Whigs, the severity of the law
of libel has been prodigiously increased. He proved that the
present occupants of office have, by their course of action
of late years, utterly falsified all the professions of their
earlier lives, as well as all the principles of the party, to
which it used to be their boast to belong. He proved,
moreover that the unsettled state of the law, as it affects
the class of political libellers, invests a mean and tyran-
nical Goveinment with a fearful measure of power over
the press. These points, Mr. Duncombe and several of
those who followed him in debate, pretty
.plainly esta-
Wished. But While the unsettled state of the law affecting
political libels may, undoubtedly, enable a weak and
treacherous Government to act most prejudicially on the
liberty of the press; and while the conduct of the present
Administration in regard to some of the dupes, in times
past, of Whig professions, cannot be too severely censured,
still it is impossible to avoid the eonclusiomibat Mr. Dun-
combe's motion was little better than a piece of nfsehievous
clap-trap.

CHILDREN'S FRIEND SOCIETY.
At the ANNUAL MEETING held on the 30th May,
the Committee of Management were recommended to take
the necessary steps for establishing an INDUSTRIAL ASY-
LUM at the Cape of Good Hope, on a similar plan to the
Brenton Asylum at Hackney Wick. A subscription has ac-
cordingly been opened for the purpose of raising the sum of
£2,000, which will be required to take and stock a suitable
Farm, and provide for the probable expenses of the first two
years; after which period it is expected that it will become a
self-supporting Establishment.
In this Colonial Asylum the Children might be kept under
moral and religious training for a longer period than is now
possible, and might also obtain, on the spot, practical know-
ledge sufficient to secure their future prosperity in the Colony.

RELEASE OF MR. ROBERTS.

TO THE EDITOR or TILE WILTSHIRE INDEPENDENT.
SIR,—II IS with extreme pleasure I forward you a copy
of a letter from the Home Office, announcing the libera-
tion of Mr. Roberts:—

(Corr )
" Whitehall, July 7, 1840.
" MAD.OI,-1 am directed by the Marquis of Normanby
to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th
instant, and to acquaint you that your husband has been
discharged from Fisherton Gaol on account of his bad
state or health.

" I am, Madam, your most obedient humble servant,
S. M. PHILLIPS.
" Mrs. Roberts, 21, Devonshire-buildings."
This act of clemency on the part of the Government will
tend more to the suppression of " sedition " than any
amount of persecution could h.,ve done. I trust that the
saute may result in the cases of other prisoners.
Yours, Ste.
Bath, July 8, 1840. R. K. PIIILP.

We regret to say that no improvement has taken
place in the weather since our last. The cold continues una-
hated, and heavy rain has fallen with little intermission ; but
we should hope that the showers have been partial; for some
of our letters, received this morning from the country, speak
of the crops, of every description, as presenting a most hope-
ful and luxuriant appearance.—Dublin Everring Mail.

'There is much in this tale that ta minds us of Coope
tic! Arrc rican 'ovelist, tut we are not reminded of bins
ser‘ile inntat•ous at cis in nine', but merely be
cause Mr. Heffinan—ae author of G:eysliter—re •
sorts occasionally to the same sources of interest in
his Red Indian sketches, his hackwoodc,men, and hi
details of wild adventures in the depths of American
iorests. Tito periad of which he treats is the corn-
in,,ncement of the great transatlantic revolution, when
their border wars were just beginning to exhiht symp-
toms of that determined and savage spirit by which
they were soon alter characterized ; and the scene of
his story is laid principal y in the woods and fertile
valiey of the Mohawk. This enables him to present us
with several striking sketches of Iroquois manners and
characters, as also of the landscape scenery of that—in
those days—wild and impressive district. Among other
personages whom he brings prominently before us, is the
celebrated Iroquois chief, Tnayendanagea, b Ater
known in Europe by the nave of Captain Brant,
who visited England about the middle of the
last eentuty, was ire reduced to George the Third,
who took a great fancy to him, and was on terms of fa-
miliar acquaintance with all the most illustrious person-
ages not only in this country but in France also. On
the return of this half cividzed Indian Chief—for he
never wholly laid aside his habits of savage life—to his
native streams and forests, he found the British colonies
in a state c,f general excitement ; and at the instigation
of Sir John Jua was induced to take part with the
Crown, to which he rendered the most efficient assist-
ance, pessessing more influence over the Indians than,
perhaps, any chief before or since his time ever possessed.
We remembi r reading some months since an able me-
moir of this t xtraordinary individual in the Niwth Ante-
rican Review, and Mr. Hoffman, in the work hetore us,
bas drawn his character with singular spirit and minute-
ness. Indeed we do not know when we have been better
pleased with a portrait, or -one that has more rivetted
our attention. There are several other well-drawn
characters in the talc—especially those of Greysluer
and Alicia Dc Roos—but Brant's is the one in which
the author has been most successful.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Bcrorc Mr. WALE:I3Y, Chairman, and a ft4:l Bench of
Magistrates.)
MISS A. G. BURDETT COUTTS V. R. DUNN.

Great anxiety existed in Court yesterday, in conse-
quence of the above defendant having threatened to move
the Court to set aside its own order, calling upon him to
find bail to keep the peace towards Miss Coutts. Mr.
Dunn did not, however, make his appearance as promised,
and just befo.e the Court rose,
Mr. Lioms said that, as he was anxious to be in
another place, he had to apply to the Charunan in a case
in which Richard Dunn was the defendant. The Chair-
man might probably be aware that on the first day of this
Se-lion, articles of the peace were exhibited by Miss
Gnats against Dunn. He was ordered to enter into his
own recognizance in 50(11., and give two sureties of 2501.
each, to keep the peace towards that lady, and be
of good behaviour for two years. Upon that occa-
sion there was a suggestion on the part of the
Chairman, that as the party .complAnid of ‘ws
not in attendance, a notice should be set ved upon him be-
foie the warrant was issued for his apprehension. The
COLO tesy thus extruded to Mr. Dunn was certainly on the
pall rf the Court, and he (Mr. Bodkin) begged to say
that neither Miss Coutts -or her sulicaur were pi.rues to
it. On Wednei,d,iy the defendant typearid in C.mrt, and
without applying himself to the law, inane a lot g
stateniern against the course thlt had been adopted. He
promised to be here again to-day, but instead of that lee
bad gone through the f. retest procerding of serving
notic, sto move the complaint else. here. Now he (Mr.
Bodkia)apiirehendrd the Magistrates would take no wore
notice of those pieces of pap, r, now that they were assem-
bled in Scssmn, than a Magistrate would do out t f ScssiJit,
when about to commit a prisoner. The defendant might
apply to .s Judge for an Older (as the reporter understand),
buy iteß..lich could not listen to idle representations. He
had now to apply for a warrant.
The CHAIRMAN—Is Mr. Dunn here?
M.. BODKIN—fie is not, znie.
The Clump/tali—Tact' as I see no cause shown to the
COn'tor), I shall say, be it so.
Mr, Bootets understood then that the warrant would
issue as a matter 01 course.

1 he CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative.
Mr. BuoictN said he might as well add that during the
past week, and o.i Sunday morning and evening, the de-
fendant repeated his annoyance, and followed about Miss
Courts until at length she had fallen into such a state of
nervous agitation, that her health had been with difficulty
maintained. The defendant's conduct was really intolerable.
warrant for Dunn's apprehension was then made
out, and placed in the hands of an active officer.

of suiden indisposition, and requested to be allowecitcoosneal ttined
self for a few moments till he should recover. He had scarcelyi
seated himself when be fell backwards, and expired. Medical
assistance was sent for, but it was found of no avail. There
were no papers found on his person to lead to a discovery of his
identity. He had a valuable gold watch in his pocket. The
ineidn of the horse's saddle bore the name of " Simpson, saddler,
New: Cross."
RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—EarIy yesterday morn-
ing, when the luggage trains were on their way from Liverpool
to Manchester, a very serious accident, occasioning the loss of
property to the amount of nearly 10001. occurred. The train
belonging to Mr. Hargreaves was following, at a distance, the
train belonging to the Liverpool and Manchester Company
(which included some timber carriages), and, when proceeding
up.the incline, a connecting rod broke belonging to the car-
riages in the first train, which, being thus loosened, ran back
down the incline at. a tremendous speed, and as a matter of
course came in collision with Mr. Hargreaves train, smashing
everything bef,re them. Three casks of wine and a hogshead

EXTRAORDINARY FISH.`--On Sunday last
some fishermen who were employed in taking mackerel off Blici-
leigb, Salterton, caught in their net a fish of the whale species,
measuring 19 feet in length, and weighing about 20 cwt. The
narmr,by which this fish is known to naturalists is the " Lesser
Itorqual," and it frequents the coasts; of Iceland, No-wav, and
Greenland. It is very active in its habits, and its ordinary
length is about 25 feet. One measuring 10 feet was caught by
Dr. Knox, in 1834, off the coast of Scotland, and one has
been caught in France, but this is the first specimen, we be-
lieve, taken near the shores of our own country. It is men-
tioned by Dr. Scoresby, in his account of the whales of the j
_Northern Seas, and a fall description of it may be found in
Jardirre's Naturalist's Library. The fish now caught was dead '
when landed upon the shore, but it had been seen pla)ing abOut
in the water only a short timepreviously.— Western Luminary.

•
Sight, of all the organs, is one of the most pre-
cious; when once it tends to imperfection particular care
should be directed in selecting spectacles to afford it assistance.
These remarks ate made in consequence of Mr. E. Solomons,
No. 36, Old Bond-street, Piccadilly, and 1, Old Jewry, Cheap-
side, having constructed spectacles of that delightful mineral—
Amber, which far excel all others in modern use. They are
beautifully transparent, soften the light to weak or inflamed
eyes, and are better allapted for all persons having any minute
employment by day, or lamps or candles at night. In short,
they may be considered as having been brought to such i.erfec-
Hon as to complete that department of optics appertaining to
spectacles. The patronage of the Royal Family, and the high
encomiums bestowed on them by the principal medical and
scientific authorities in Europe, render any fur:her panegyric
of their superiority quite uncalled for. The Voice Conduc-
tors of Mr. E. Solomon? invention measure only a quarter of
an inch in diameter, and are the most powerful instruments
for relieving deafness. By their use musical sounds and the
lowest whisper breathed at a public assembly vibrate on the
organs of hearing, affording instant relief to all persons whese
hearing is defective. It is highly necessary for all persons
wishing to obtain either of the above inventions to mark par-
ticularly Mr. Solomons' address, he being in no way con-
nected with parties of the came name. The disposal is exclu-
sively confined to 1, Old Jewry, Cheapside, and 36, Old pond-
street, Piccadilly. •
GREYSLAER, A ROMANCE OF THE MO-
HAWK. By C. F. HOFFMAN, ESQ., AUTHOR OF A
WINTER IN THE FAR WEST."—Mr. 'Hoffman walks in paths
of his own, though his subject is akin to some of those by which
Fenimore Cooper has achieved a name. We are much mis-
taken if Mr. Hoffman does no;; ultimately at rive at equ l cele-
brity, for the volumes before us, in their delineation of circum-
stances and events attending the border wars of the American
revolution, are full of power and nice discrimination of charac-
ter. The scene is laid in the vale of the Mohawks—one of
those spots, which, though blessed by nature with the most
bountiful fertility, appears to have been doomed by the agency
of man to perpetual strife, bloodshed, and desolition. There
is, consequently, an unity of purpose obvious throughout the
whole story, as appalling as that which charaitterises some of
the Greek dramatic legends. The tissue of love enwoven
through the narrative is of great beauty and originality. He
who eau paint such portraitures as those of :Vida cle Roos
and the Greyalaer is assuredly reserved for high doings in the
arena of fiction.— Court Journal.

MINSTER.

( From the York Courant of Thursday.)
On re-visiting the scene of the melancholy occurrence
of last night, it reminded us of some shattered and desolated
abbey of the olden time. The roof of the nave was com-
pletely stripped off, presenting the vault of heaven to un-
interrupted view, and the sun was shining with softened
brilliancy on the mass of ruins below. The fire was still
smouldering, both in the walls of the nave, and amongst
the wood which was strewed in heaps on the floor ; but it
was not deemed necessary to bring the engines again into
requisition, as it was expected the fire would gradually
linger and dio away. One of the windows near the western
entrance was partially destroyed; the great western window
was entirely preserved and the others have sustained but
trifling damage. The dragon, however, remains ; and the
singularity of its preservation, together with the legends
so well known respecting it, rendered it an object of
marked interest.
During the progress of the fire the vergers removed the
books, cushions, and other valuable articles from the choir,
and the music books from the organ loft, into the vestry.
This was an excellent precaution, but happily no danger
has arisen to the choir—nor indeed to the beautiful screen
or valuable organ, which at one time were placed in so
much jeopardy of total destruction, there not being visible
or, either of them the slightest marks of disfigurement.
One part of the masonry of the screen, near the top, is
broken,

LUDLOW ELECTION.

The recent exposure before a Committee of the House
of Commons, of the corrupt practices at the late election
has not had the effect of preventing, so far as the
Tories are concerned, a rcpctiton of the same dis-
graceful bribery which has earned for the borough
of Ludlow, an undoubted title to a speedy disfranchise-
ment. Notwithstanding, there is in the borough
a clear majority of Liberal electors, the Tory candidate,
Be held, was yesterday returned by a corrupt majority of 41;
there was no lack of Tory gold and the persuasive influerce
a certain class of electors, is more potent
than hustings' harangues on principle, and purity of elec-
tion, pro•vaded, and will again prevail, until the Legislature
provides a remedy, and sets about perfecting that
Refcrin Bill which has left such boroughs as Ludlow,
as so many Gattons and Old Sarums.; as leper spots
upon the representation of England. Upwards of
twenty electors, win) at the late election supported
the Liberal candidate, yielded yesterday to the tempt-
ing influence of Tory gold. The immaculate Mr.

CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.

CAMBRIDGE, FRIDAY, FIVE CLOCK.-.-This contest
has concluded in the way that was expected by all rea-
sonahle men, and those who knew the extremity to which
the Tories were prepared to go. The Liberal Candidate
is defeated by a majority of 93. The pollieg commenced
at eight o'clock this morning, and for about two heurs
Professor Starkie was a-head, at cne time as many as
sixty ; at half-past ten, however, the scale eas turned, and
the Tories kept the lead for the remainder of the day.
Their desperatisn at seeing Mr. Starkie a-held drove them
to all sorts of excesses, and they seemed determined to
win, if exertion or money could do it. The goWnsmen
worked incessantly, and with great spirit. The election,
on their part, was curied on in the most quiet way—there
was no treating, no flags or banners, for as Professor
Starkie had come for.vard on purity of election principles,
was determined to reduce expense as much as possible.
The Tories, en the contrary, were lavish of expense,
and res,ortvd to all the old electioneering clap.t-aps—be-
sides which money was flying in all directions. Indeed,
it is certain that the intimidation and the bribing prac•
tised at the last election w(re nothing to what has been
going on at the present. some cases of which are s'eort:y to
be lard before the public ; and it is expected that Mr.
Grant will enjoy his eeat hut a very short time. The Li
betel part of the electors declare that pos.cssion of the
elective franchise without the protection of the ballot, in a
town like Cambridge, where University intimidation is so
unblushingly exercised, is a curse, and a meeting is shortly
to be held praying Parliarrient eitie rto grant the one, or
take away the other. Barnwell, a district of the town in-
hehited chiefly by the poorer classes, has been during the
last two nights like a fair. Troops of gownsmen and
bullies, armed with bludgeons, have paraded the streets all
night, watching the movement of every person who stirred,
and intimidating and coaxing the poor and the corrupt
voter. Long, the notorious briber, who gave his evidence
before the House of Commons, and who is to be tried for
bribery at our next Assizes, has been here prowling ebeut,
,aid going every day to the houses of voters, far what pur-
pose it was not very difficult to guess.
At the conclusion of the poll the eurnbers
For Grant 745
Starkie

There are upwards of 400 qualified electors unpolled,
the total number being about 1,830—a pretty convincing
proof that intimidation has kept a great number back. The
numbers polled at the last election in September were—

PRIVILEGE.

Sir G. CLERK said he had to call the attention of the
House to a matter deeply affecting their privileges. A
new writ had been yesterday moved for Cockermouth,
in the room of Mr. Horsman, on the ground of his having
accepted the office of Lord of the Treasury. He now
held in his hand a printed address to the electors and non-
electors of Cockermouth, dated 18th May, and signed by
Mr. Horsman, in which were these words, " I have
been offered the office of Lord of the Treasury, and from
the manner in which the offer was made, I have felt it my
duty to secept it.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear.') It is
therefore necessary that I should appeal to you for approval
of the step I ant about to take."—( Cries of " Hear, hear.")
After proceeding to explain what his public principles were,
and stating that he held, in common with the Right Ho-
nourable Member for Edinburgh, that every man ought to
be ready to lend his aid to the Government whenever
he could be useful, he went on to say that he
had accepted that offer not only as a distinction to
himself, but as a compliment to those whom he re-
presented.—(Laughter from the Opposition, and Mi.
nisterial cheers.) " The moment, therefore, the debate
on the Irish Registration Bill is over, I shall present my-
self to you."—( Cheers and counter cheers.) Ho (Sir
G. Clerk) begged to state that that address, which had
been sent up to him that morning from Cockermouth, was
dpricintatetidngand f
that circulated

in t, after the
London,
and the publication of it at Cockermouth, on Wednesday,
in which the Hon. awl Learned Gentleman stated expli-
citly, he bad accepted the office of Lord of the Treasury,
he still continued to sit in that House.—( Several Hon.
ourable Members on the Ministerial side here ex-
claimed, " lie had only accepted the offer.") He
would read that passage of the address again—it was as
follows :—" I hare been offered the appointment of a Lord
of the Treasury, and, from the manner in which it has
been made to me, I have felt it my duty to accept it.")__
(Loud cheers from the Conseivatives.) Then he stated
that he would remain in London until the debate on the
Irish Registration Bill was concluded. He (Sir G. C.)
would ask any Member of that House whether the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman had not accepted office on Mon-
day last.—( Hear, hear.) He begged leave to call the
attention of the house to the serious consequences that
might arise if a case of this kind were passed over. It
might have happened—indeed it very nearly happened in
the present instance—that the fate of the Irish Registra-
tion Bill might have been derided by a single vote ; and
iu what situation would the House have been if that Bill
had been decided against through the vote of the Hon.
Gentleman who had accepted office, and Rho had thereforer
no longer a right to sit or vote in that House.--(Hear,
