id a British Jnilgq has sentenced hint to

dcadly substance. Mr. CL.v.r.K.ON's defence of the Fri-
r was able and judiciotn,, and, considering the heart-

kit dvvotion of ail classes in this country to our young
.and atniaWe Sovzr.mos, and the difficulty of appronch-

ing the consideration of a sub]cct so intcasting to every
British bosom, without prejudice, no political (Ander
ever had a fairer trial. The atrocity of the crime was
rather intimated than dwelt upon by the ATTORNEY-
G ENERAL. It was impossible 'o describe an attempt upon
the life of a Sovereign. and that Sovereign a lovely, in-
tellectual, virtuous, charit,blo young wife,and mother,
the idol of millions of a people equal to any upon the
.fice of the earth, in terms less calculated to mislead the
minds of a British Jury than those employed for the
prosecution. This is exceedingly creditable to the AT-
TORNEY-GENERAL. The whole trial was conducted with
a calm solemnity, and the verdict Was so clearly based
upon the evidence suhmi:ted to the Jary by a host of
eye-witnesses, that we do not believe there exists a per-
son in the British empire who eould rationally anticipate
any other result.

—, -
But now comes the grave, the solemn question, ought
the awful sentence of death recorded upon Fa.t.Ncrs to
be carried into effect ? Will the execution of this
wretched criminal, as a "false, convicted traitor," deter
wicked, abandoned men from attempting a repetition of
his treason ? We most firmly believe that it would
riot 'We care nothing about the prisoner. What is
now to be considered is how our beloved QUEEN may
be preserved in future from similar attempts. This is
not to be done by reviving the barbarous and revoking
punishments of a barbarous age. In such sinks of cor-
ruption as are to be found in such an immense capital
as London, there arc many wretches whom the strong
excitement of an atrocious punishment would stinplAte
to the commission of the most revolting crime. The
strong tide of popular prejudice is, we well know, op-
posed to this doctrine, but it is nevertheless true. Re-
vo!ting punishments, and especially capital ones, bru-
talise the mind instead of inspiring with any wholesome
terror of the rope and the dissecting knife.
We would punish all such wretches as FnANcts by
instant condemnation to incarceration for life in lunatic
asyltens in a penal colony. We would have this done
sudcnly, and as silently as possible. We would put an
end to, the mock-sentimental system of parading atro-
cious criminals, as things to be staved at, and talked
about. We would have no pious ladies,, fond. of strong
excitement, to visit them in their cells—no Sheriff's and
prison governors to shake hands with them, order them
At inC, -and lionize thein to the edification of a gaping mob,
astonished at the footing of equality with which fine
ladies-and gentlemen associate with the greatest ruf-
fians. The- poor ignorant clod-hopper sees that 110-
think short of a murder or two can qualify him to
shake hands, on affectionate terms, with a Sheriff,
or a .Sherirs lady, and of course his horror of the
crime is worrierfull? abated. Now we would put a stop
to all. this. There should be uu maudlin sympathy witl
great criminals, nor would we admit any intercourse

withithem after conviction. Fa.ixcts no doubt read in
the papers that a number of fine ladies and gentlemen
isit,e,d the ruffian Oxford—that he was comfortably
lodged—enjoyed luxuries denied to honest, hard-working
mens----that he indulged tastes for drawing and music—
and that, in short, it would, be a very good thing to be
equally well provided for at the public expense. That
he seriously meditated the murder of the QUEEN we do
not believe, although perfectly satisfied with the finding
of the verdict. What rnANcts sought was notoriety,
and a life of idleness, and that was to be obtained by
frightening the QUEEN, not by destroying her. This
was a very Wanton and atrocious crime, and well sub•
jects FRANCIS to confinement for life in Norfolk Island.
AS the place of OXFORD'S. CODfiIICIDNIt is at the dis-
psal,. of. the Government, we wopld suggest, for the
further safety of her MAJESTY'S person, that he be at
~nce removed out of this country, and subjected to more
rigorous treatment'. All intercourse with him.should be
strictly prohibited, and, for the time to come, nothing
more heard about him. This is the way to deal with
such villains. Confine, unheard-of for life, in lunatic
asyhums in penal settlements, and there will be no More
attempts unpon the life of a Sovereign so universally
and deservedly dear t 9 her people. ,

There is 'no political news in the French Journals of
Thursday, the whole of which we have received. Sub-
jained are some interesting miscellaneous extracts from

to 4001. each, amounting to about 27,60C1. Of the total
expenditure on this force 260,6231. is borne on the Con-
solidated Fund, and the rest by the counties, cities, and
towns. The Inspector-General has an annual salary of
1,500!., First Deputy Inspector 1,200/., Second 800/.,
Receiver 6001., Provincial Inspector 500/., and so on
down to the common constable, who has a salary of 321.
is. per annum. The number of horses employed in the
force is 287.

dered the market very flat, and Comels have_ declined to 91a

Business in Foreign Securities has been confined to Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per .Cents. at 52E, and the Five per Cents
1010. Mexican has no quotation to-day.
Beyond a purchase in Edinbtrgh and Glasgow at 44, and
Scuth Western at 61A, nothing has been done in shares.
The Three per Cent. Spanish Bonds are the only documents
of this kind mentioned to-day. The quotation is rather lower,
being 23k, although some reliance appears to be placed on
the report that the money for the dividend has been procured.
Morley is easy at four per cent. for commercial purposes,
with but little demand. _

The Bank of England are about to afford every facility to the
public in disposing of their light gold. A notice has been
issued, stating that they will now take sums as low as 201. in-
stead of 50,', as heretofore, which will prove of benefit, much
inconvenience having arisen from the difficulty of converting
small amounts, except through Im!lion brokers, who
have not given as high a rate as the Bank. Another
alteration must be made, which is now mere impera-
tively called for on account of the number of perscus
who will probably for the future avail themselves of changing
money ; and it is that of providing increased accommodatnsi
to the public. The scenes of confusion which have been dis-
played must have been Nvitnessed to be credited. About one-
fifth of the counter. has been appropriated for the purpose, at
which numbers of persons are congregated, many of whom have
to vait an hour to au hour end a half for their turn, while the
remaining four-fifths are quite empty. If the applicanre: for
the future are.to be crowded into some small room, the harve.t
to be gathered by pickpockets must necessarily be considerable.
