EXECUTION CT TAwELL.-John Tawell, who
arrested on the 3D. January, for. the murder of
Sarah Hart, at Sail Hill, the previous night, was
tried at Aylesbury on the 18th instant and convic.
it will be remembered. who is 81 years Of age and
a member of the Society OF Friends, cohabited
with the deceased, by whom he had two children.
He was seen emerging from the cottage In which
pring Of it was proved, prussic acid, which he had
purchased the same day in London. The unfortu-
nate man has only been recently married to an
amiable and accomplished lady. The case has ex-
the circumstances, than from the religious profes-
sion of the murderer. He was executed on Friday,
the 2Sh ult., IN front Of the gaol at Aylesbury,
in presence of many thousands of spectators, and
met his fate in calm and firm manner. 1t may
be satisfactory to those who have taken an interest
in this trial to learn that the prisoner has left a
written confession OF his guilt, and also that he
had made previous attempt to poison her in Sep
not influenced by pecuniary motives, but by fear
that the relation in which ne stood to the unforu
nate woman would be discovered by his vile.

this much is certain, that by far the best policy
would be for the British Minister 10 do justice to
the country at a time when the flame has worn
itself out, and when every circumstance abroad
aud at home shows that he would be succe ssful.
There is much to amend in Ireand-wrongs to

The incrt ase of the grant to the Roman Catho-
lie College OF Maynooth is stirring up some agita
ton, which threatens TO extend. meeting to Pc
tition against the grant has been held at Exeter
Hall another in Liverpool is fixed for Monday
week and olher parts Of the country promise to
catch the infection. But all will be useless. As
regards the principle OF the matter at issue, upon
which seme Of the speakers dilate-that is as much
outraged by the present amount that the country
pays to the college as it can be when the amount
is quadrupled, as Sir Robert Peel proposes. The
Premier, to avoid an annual discussion on so sore
subject, proposes to make the grant permanent,
for which purpose he will introduce bill to effect
his object. In their pa!miest days, the wings dared
not have proposed, and if they had, could not have
the soi-disant friends Of the Anglican church, mo-
nopolise the power Of endowing the rival church
of Rome. The affair altogether, is, perhaps. the
best tribute ever yet paid to O'Connells power and
inhuence-involuntary paid, too, by his enemies
the men who dislike him most It is something
Tor an antagonist to exact such unwilling tribute
from his foes.
France.
A new plan for aboishing the ballot in tax ng the
votes proposed by M. Hauranne, had been occupy
ing the attention of the Chamber. A committee
bad reported in favor Of a mixed system, which,
while IT did not abolish secret voting altogether,
would greatly modify it. BY the plan Of the COM
mIttee, the ordinary mode Of voting in the Cham
ber would par assis ct lept: but few members could
call for division; and in cases where, according
to the present regulations, secret voting could be
called for by twenty members, the committee re-
commended that the number OF requisitionists
should be increased to forty. This plan was adopt
ed by the Chamber on the 18Th instaut the govern
ment discountenancing,b but not opposing it.
