EXECUTION OF 4 WoMAH.--To hang q
man is revolting--to hang woman is hor-
rible. The latter scene was witnessed a,
Danvilie, Pa, on the 22d ult. Mrs.
Twiggs, the woman executed, protested her
innocence down TO the very moment when
the fatal drop fell, and she may have been
innocent. for she was convicted on circum.

falsely. Imprisonment for life would have
been more keeping with humanity aud right
than the gallows which had already ended
the life OF one of the alleged murderers.

Mrs. Twiggs was convicted Of the muir

oning her with arsenic. The husband of
Mrs. Clark was convicted of the same
charge. and was hung on the goth of last

may be said to be completed. the greatest
difficulties having been surmounted. The

ten per cent. ad uolorem duty is rigidly ex-
acted. Governor Douglas, it is said, is to
be knighted. He has not yet returned from
his long visit TO the mines. The Cali
fornians are making every endeayor to turn
the tide of emigration into their own terri
tory, which has begun TO arrive from the
East on its way to Frazer river. The gov-
erwnent evidently anticipates a great future
for Victoria, and have laid out the town Con
paPer) over space enough for q city of a
hundred thousand. Appropriations on rath-
er a liberal scale, are also being made for
Improvements on Streets.
The water was falling rapidly in the Fra
ger river every day. Meteorological obser-
vaiions confirm the reports OF tho remarka-
bly, equable and mild temperature OF Van
couver's Island, a fact which seems to as
tonish the correspondents of the California
papers who are there. The temperature of

their lease expiresln 1860. The lease for
