CHATHAM, JULY 31.

EXECUTION of GARDINER the MURDERER
This day, a little before noon, the extreme sentence of the
law was carried into effect upon Benjamin Gardiner, aged 29
years, a private in the 50th regiment of foot, who on Friday
last was convicted of the wilful murder of Patrick Feeney,
the serjeant of the grenadier company to which the culprit
belonged.
The excitement which this event has caused in this place is
very great, thirty years having elapsed since a similar occur-
rence, which was the execution of a foreigner named Mazereau,
for stabbing his officer. The 50th regiment had been on the
nightly guard, but at five o'clock (two hours before the usual
time), the drums of the garrison beat for the marines to relieve
them, in order that they might prepare themselves to spread
their ranks in the most conspicuous part of the fortress,
namely, the ramparts, to witness the execution of their erring
comrade. As every soldier of every rank and corps connected
with the garrison had orders to attend the spectacle, the bustle
was most extraordinary. The platform was erected during
the night at the margin of the trench which separates the
lines from the ramparts. The different corps brought out
were the 50th regiment of foot (to which the culprit had been
attached), the 17th regiment of foot, the Royal Marines,
and Marine Artillery, beyond which small groups of soldiers
belonging to other regiments, were stationed on the heights
which overlooked the ramparts, and the whole combined had
a most imposing effect, as above 2,000 men appeared with
their officers in full uniform.
The prisoner left Maidstone, at half-past nine o'clock, in a
post-coach, accompanied by the Rev. Chaplain of the county
gaol, and two turnkeys, armed with loaded blunderbusses.
Calcraft, the London executioner, travelled outside the box,
armed with a similar weapon. The prisoner was double-ironed
and his arms and wrists bound. The cavalcade consisted of
two other coaches containing the Sheriff, his Deputy, and
other municipal authorities, preceded by several peace-officers
on horseback. At 11 o'clock, a waggon proceeded a mile
from Chatham, on the Maidstone road, when the prisoner was
removed from the coach to the waggon, and thus he was con-
veyed to the place of execution, accompanied by the execu-
tioner and the two turnkeys. The crowd which preceded and
followed the cavalcade was immense, and when they joined
the vast concourse, previously assembled on the lines, the
multitude must have amounted to from 10,000 to 12,000 per-
sons,
independent of the military, but the greatest order pre-
vailed throughout. During the passage through Chatham and
Brompton the criminal gazed around him, and occasionally
gave a nod of recognition to some of his former companions,
but he betrayed no symptoms of levity. When the waggon
had been drawn near to the platform, the Clergyman again
joined the culprit and read portions of the Scripture, and
united with him in prayer, to which the unfortunate man paid
the most profound attention. When he ascended the platform
he loosened the cord which had supported his fetters round his
waist, and threw the cumbrous burden at his feet, at the same
time requesting the executioner " to. be quick." When the
cap was put on his head, he desired that it might not be drawn
over his face immediately, as he had something to say. After
the rope was adjusted, he expressed his contrition in the
following laconic address :—" Gentlemen, I am guilty of the
crime for which I am about to suffer, and I'm sorry for it."
After a pause he added, " I beg also to state, that unless it
had been for drink, I should not have been here to-day, I
dare say." These words were uttered in a firm tone, but not
sufficiently loud to reach the ears of the spectators, who were
kept a considerable distance from the platform. The signal
was then given by Mr. Under-sheriff Wildes, and at 20 "mi-
nutes to 12 the platform fell. Owing to the weight of his fet-
ters the sufferings of the malefactor were of short duration.
After the body had been suspended for an hour, it was cut
down and conveyed in a coffin to Maidstone, in order to be
buried within the precincts of the gaol, pursuant to that part
of the sentence. The malefactor has been. a person of ex-
tremely_bad character, and was in
consequence drummed out
of the Marine Artillery, to which conDs he was once attached.
He has been in the 50th regiment for aNut two years, but his
company was shunned by the generality of his comrades ; on
.
account of his dreadfully-uncouth manners,
inebriety, of being
deemed better-disposed soldiers we; afraid
deemed his associates. The murdered serje ant has three bro-
thers in the garrison, who are much respected by their officers,
cumstance which adds to the regret for his prem.

UNIVERSITIES AD ICIN ioj,Xi--v
Itg
The Earl of RADNOR in ri tto iihvaKtiieN econd
reading of this Bill stated that as well .ler(oChi its object
was to remove those disabilities under which the Dissenters
laboured, of being unable to avail themselves of the benefit of
a University education.---( Hear, hear.) The Bill had origi-
nated in consequence of the petitions the Dissenters had
presented to both Houses of Parliament, praying that
such a Bill might pass. The Universities of Oxford and
Cambridge had a different opinion upon this question, then
latter allowed persons of all persuasions to have the benefit of
that University up to a certain point,while Oxford would not allow
any young man to be matriculated without subscribing the
thirty-nine articles. In the University of Cambridge, he un-
derstood persons known to be Dissenters had been admitted,
and had gone on receiving the benefits of the University
up to the very time, indeed, of taking their
degrees without any notice being taken of their persuasion.
They had qualified themselves for the highest honours, and
had received them ; but after having been exemplary members
of the University, they had been excluded from de-
grees, because they would not subscribe the articles re-
quired of them. This he considered a very great hardship.
He considered it was a matter of very great hardship that the
Dissenters should be so punished merely on account of their
conscientious objections to the articles they refused to sign.
With respect to Oxford the matter was still worse, for there no
young man could be matriculated without first of all subscribing
to the 39 Articles. He considered it would but be doing
bare justice to the yarties to pass the Bill—( Hear, hear),—
and, in his opinion, it was a necessary sequel to a
Bill which their Lordships passed only a few years ago,
for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. That Bill
opened the way for Dissenters up to the highest situations
in the State.—( Hear.) Surely then their Lordships
would not shut them out from the means of acquiring an edu-
cation to qualify them for such situations. In the professions
of law and medicine, the Dissenters were placed under very
great disadvantages in consequence of these regulations, which
were unjust.

(LEFT SITTING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER resumed his chair at twenty-five minutes past
five o'clock.

COUNTY POOR RATE BILL.
Mr. G. STANLEY moved the second reeling of the
County Poor Rate Bill.
UNSEAWORTHY SHIPS.
Mr. ABERCR OMB Y presented a petition from the inha-
bitants of Edinburgh, complaining of the state in which ships
were sent to sea by their ow = " and more particularly ships
intended to carry emigrants to h iw colonies ; and stating that
in consequence of the unfit state in which those ships were sent
out, the most heart-rending losses of human life had taken place.
The petitioners attributed this line of conduct, on the part
of shipowners, in a great measure to the system of Insurance
classification that existed at Lloyd's, and it prayed that the
House would be pleased to appoint surveyors to in-
quire into and report upon the seaworthiness, or
otherwise of such ships and vessels before they were permitted
to put out to sea.
Mr. BUCKINGHAM agreed entirely with the sentiments
and prayer of the petition. He did not think any subject more
imperatively called for the immediate attention of Parliament.
POOR OF IRELAND.
Mr. HODGES gave notice that early next Session he would
call the attention of the House to the state of the Poor in
Ireland.
Mr. SINCLAIR moved for certain returns, the nature of
which was not heard in the gallery.
SCOTCH JUDGES' SALARIES.
Mr. SINCLAIR wished to know, although it was now too
late in the session to think of bringing in any measure
on the subject of the salaries of the Scotch Judges during the
present sittings, if the Noble Lord intended to introduce any
Bill on that question.
Lord ALTHORP said it would certainly not be right to
attempt to bring in any Bill at this late period of the Session
on that subject ; but that he thought it was a subject which
ought and would call for the very early attention of Govern-
ment when Parliament next met.
Mr. WALLACE said he had a petition to present next
Monday, on the presentation of which he would avail himself
of the opportunity of bringing forward the subject of the salaries
of the Scotch Judges. _ _

- BEER BILL.
Mr. AGLIO NB Y presented a petition from the inhabitant.
of Stockport against any alterations in the Beer Bill.
CHOLERA IN IRELAND.
Mr. RUTHVEN wished, before the House resolved
itself into a Committee upon the Irish Tithe Bill,
to call the attention of the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland
to the reports that he (Mr. R.) had received of the dreadful
sufferings of the poor in Dublin from the cholera. There
were many persons there, as it was well known,
too poor to procure the necessaries of life, even in a state of
health and under ordinary circumstances, but how much more
miserable was their condition rendered at present by the
severe visitation of cholera there. An Hon. Member near to
him (Mr. Ruthven) said there was not more cholera in Dublin
than in London ; but be that as it might, it did
not lessen the sufferings of the poor of Dublin. He (Mr. R.)
did not wish to suggest to the Right Hon. Secretary the
propriety of a renewal of hospitals in Dublin for cholera
patients--(near, hear)—they had been very expensive,
and he did not know that they had been so productive of benefit
as might have been expected, but still it might probably by
desirable that some institutions for the succour and assistance
of the poor that might be afflicted with this disease should be
allotted for them. His principal object in rising was to ex-
press a hope that the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite would
give his attention to the subject.
Mr. LITTLETON said he would make inquiry into the
subject, but he was not aware that any communications had
yet been received upon it.
SMALL TENEMENTS RATING BILL.
Mr. AGL lONB Y wished to call the attention of the At.
torney-General to this Bill. He (Mr. Aglionby) had put it off,
from time to time, for the convenience of the house, and
also because he felt his own inability to carry it through the
House. He hoped that during the recess the Hon. and
Learned Member would direct his attention to the Bill, with
the view of supporting it.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would give every
possible attention to this Bill during the recess. He knew
no man mere (vable of conducting this through the
House than the Hon. and Learned Member (Mr. Aglimby),
MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS.
A message from the Lords announced that their Lords_ hips
had agreed to the County Coroners' Bill.
