him of late, that be had been rapidly
sinking under it; the thigh was of the
middle size. On heing asked this morn
ing to submit to an operation, he readily
consented. At half past one, the pa
tient was brought INFO the operation
theatre. and placed in a recumbent
posture On the table; the femoral arte-
ry being tightly compressed at the groin
by an assistant, Mr.. Key,) Sir A. stand
ing to the outer side, with the limb in
one hand, and the catIin 10 the other,
commenced the operation, by making
an incision just below Poupart's liga-
ment, little to the lilac side of the
temoral artery; this was continued OBJ
llquely DOWN. ards and outwards to the
back Of the thigh, about one third of
the way down, from which point the
knife was carried in the opposite d.
rechon, obliqueIy upwards and inwards
TO meet the first incision, 10y this means
forming an elliptical curve, At this step
of the operation, the femoral artery was
divided, to which the lgature was i'm
mediately applied; the skin and cellu-
lar membrane were merely cut through
at first but the knife was again carried
in the same direction as before, and
thus the muscles were also separated {;
at this step also, it was necessary to APP
ply another liga,ure; here the opera
tor changed positions, and sat on a
chair in front of the patient, and waited
a short time to see whether there were
any bleeding vessels. After the lapse
of few minutes, the operation was con-
tinued, and very shortly completed, the
head of the thigh bone being removed
from the acetabulum without any difficult
ty. Two ligatures in addition to those
alread " used were applied, making in
the whole four; the integuments were
brought together, and a suture applied
to the upper portions strips of adhe-
sive plaster, and lastly bandage was
put over the stump. There were a.
bout twelve ounces of blood lost, but it
had the appearance of venous. The
limb was removed in the space of twen-
ty minutes; the securing the arteries
and dressing, occupied fifteen more; the
whole was completed in IS minutes.
During the operation, the man was ex-
tremely faint, but some wine being Civ
en- him and fresh air admitted, he re-
covered. He bore the operation with
extraordinary fortitude; after all was
finished. he said TO Sir Ashley, that it
was the hardest days work he had ever
gone through to which Sir Ashley re-
piled, that it was almost the hardest
he ever had"

| upon the community. The great OBJ
lect Of punishment is the lettering all
others from the commission of any
crime, which will cause them to suffer
the like penalties, in one word, exam
pie. Bat so are the principles of hu-
man nature formed, that the villain has
less fear Of death, than of confinement
OF coercion when IN existence. This
circumstance is attested by all expert
mepts in criminal punishment. Man gen
eraJly removes all thoughts of death
from his mind as troublesome tormen-
tors, and although he is aware, that the
vengeance Of the law may be certain,
bis evil principles and guilty desires,
cause him 10 pay little attention TO tbe
di;tates of either his conscience or his
reason. A living death, an incarcera-
ton in prison, however, stares him in
The face with manifold horrors. and the
stoutest hearts have been known to
tremble at the reflection of enduring
this, when the certainty of the other
gave them no fear nor affection. But
as to the manner Of the execuiion-it
produces directly the opposite effect, to
what was intended Laws and their
penalties, of course, do not affect the
yirtuous, The righteous, and the good.
They operate alone on the evil-doer, as
instruments of retrihuton, and thus on
the evil-dispcseJ, as beacon-lights to
illuminate the path of vice, aud 10 ex-
hibit 10 them the wretched state of those
who have trod therein, But is the
criminal now rendered an object Of
odlum ? On the contrary, he excites
sympathy and compassion from all class
es of men. If he dies impenitent and
fearlessly, the Outstanding UNPUBLISHED
villain looks upon him as brave he
roic man, and admires his fortitude and
patience 10 suffering. If be dies pro-
Tossing his repentance of sin and con-
version to religion. he pictures to him
self Christian, sure of pardon and for
giveness hereafter. The minds of men,
accustomed to witness these ignomini-
Gus death-scenes, loose all the awe they
should naturally feel on behoIdng IA
fellow creature deprived Of life. Fa-
miliarity with events Of however an ap-
palling and affecting nature, destroys
their terrors, and not only does the vii
lain lose all fear, but his mind becomes
the more brutalizcd, BY his acquaint-
ance with them. lift is necessary, that
we should appeal to facts TO subslan-
tate our assertions and arguments, we
refer to the accounts Of the>late execu-
tions; the evils resulting from them
certainly warrant US in the belief that
change for the better might be
made in the system of punishment. IT.
however, our Legislators should think
that such change is not expedient, let
the unfortunate criminal be executed
ont Of the sight of the mass of the pop
ulace. The Imagination will then
create greater terrors in the punish
mept, and men will the more be deter
red from vice and crime.
