the Queen of Spain.

, Fieschi is quite convalescent. lie takes a walk
every day in the court which is reserved for him. The greatest
care is taken of his health. All that he asks for, or seems to
desire, is immediately granted him. Does not this remind the
reader of the New Zealanders preparing a captive, or of a
grazier fattening an ox, for slaughter?
MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT IN TILE
REGENT'S PARK.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at
the Queen's Head and Artichoke, Albany-street, Regent's
Park, before Mr. Stirling and a respectable Jury, on view of
the body of Edward Henry Reddell, Esq., aged twenty-six.
Mr. O. B. Bell, of Park-square, Regent's Park, about twenty
minutes before eight o'clock, on Monday evening last, saw the
deceased galloping through Park-square towards the New-
road. His horse was going at a furious rate, and the rider ap-
peared to have lost all command of the reins. On reaching
the iron gate near Park-crescent the deceased was thrown off,
his head and shoulders coming in contact with the iron rails.
Witness ran to his assistance. The unfortunate gentleman
was insensible, and bleeding profusely from the head. He
was removed to Mr. Worrell's, a surgeon, in Osnaburgh-street.
Mr. Worrell, surgeon, of Osnaburgh-street, Regent's Park,
stated that the deceased died two hours after he was brought to
his house, from the injuries be had received. The collar bo: :,
was broken, the whole of the scalp bruised, and. there -.gas an
extensive concussion on the right side. The ipTlediate cause
of death was concussion of the brain. The Jury delivered a
verdict of " Accidental Death." The ll.eceased woof highly
respectable connections.
EXECUTION.--In reference to the recent execution
at Horsham, Sussex, of Sheppard and Sparrshott, the Brighton
Guardian says—" It is our painful duty to announce the me-
lancholy fact that two human beings have again been offered up
in this county to appease the bloo-thirsty spirit of our still
sanguinary criminal code. Great efforts were made to save the
life of Sheppard, whose offence was merely against property ;
and we understand that Lord John Russell, as Secretary of
State for the Home Department, was disposed to a merciful
view of the case. Judge Park is however said in the profes-
sion to be a " banging Judge ;" and the stern severity (we
could find a more appropriate term) of this man triumphed
ever the respect for human life entertained by the Noble Se-
cretary. The superstitious act of rubbing of the hand was
performed upon two females with swelled necks who applied,
and paid the customary' fee of 2s. 6d. to the "official" for
performing it. Is society benefitted by this display of a bar-
barous age ? We fear not ; but on the contrary, the respect
for human life in the ignorant multitude is weakened by such
revolting exhibitions, and a feeling of sympathy is excited in
favour of men whose crimes would otherwise create disgust
and horror. As it is, the vices of their lives are forgotten
in the grief and dismay caused by the execution of a san.
guinary lee,"
