The affecting, and, indeed, deeply distressing case of murder, which we inserted on Saturday, in the report of the trial of Edward Garrett, at the Wels Assizes, has led to some speculation whether the sentence of the law will be carried into effect. It appeared from the witnesses that the unhappy man was peaceable, honest, industrious, and tenderly attached to his wife and three children, but bent to the very earth by want and indigence. Night after night be beheld his children go to bed crying from the pangs of hunger, -which he was utterly unable to relieve. Having not the slightest prospect of improving his circumstances, and feeling the dreadful certainty that his children must perish before his eyes by the most cruel of all deaths, his mind became disordered, and, in an agony of distraction, he poured laudanum down their throats, and then attempted to.destroy himself by the same means. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of " Temporary ;z sanity," which all the facts of the case appear to warrant. A second jury, that of the Assizes, qualify a verdict of guilty of murder with a. recommendation to mercy on mount of the distressed state course the Judge could take no of his mind. f notice of the latter portion of the verdict. He could only forward it to the proper quarter, and therefore passed the usual sentence. About two years ago a very similar case of a murder of his children by a man, excited to madness by woe and 'misery, occurred in the neighbourhood of Northampton, which, we presume, is the case thatthe Times somewhat erroneously places in the neighbourhood of Birmingham. In both instances the unfortunate men preferred, if man in their state of mind can be said to have the power of judging, the destruction of themselves and their beloved children, rather than be separated from them by the regulations of the Union Workhouses, by which reit acquired and natural ties are ruthlessly severed. We Ithave not the last case before us, but we perfectly recol7eet that, except as to the instrument of death, it was tit:t same as that of poor Garrett. He, we are told by 'aro witnesses, had been coldll refused assistance by his friends when driven to extremity; he was oppressed with debts, and goaded to madness by the cries of his children, • vr:icsse hunger he could not appease ; he had only one  resource—to place himself, his wife, and children in a I Poor•law Union Workhouse—to live, not together, but separate, and as if estranged from each other. This dreadful alternative, it appears, was not less dreadful than the spectacle of their daily and hourly sufferings, and, brooding over their misery, he lost his senses. Who, in these cases, are the real murderers—these wretched men, or those sordid legislators who, in pursuit of a penurious theory of economy in the appliance of public fund.; destined for the assistance of the unfortunate, not content with abolishing the system of outdoor relief, introduced the system of separating husbands and wives, parents and children, into their execrable ctstablishments  COURSE OF EXCH, Amsterdam CF. 12 4i Ditto, at sight Rotterdam 2U. 12 5 Antwerp ....... ....... 1.3 4 Hamburg...
