The Hartford ( "C .

The Gaedener ' s Privileges , —The question was once asked by a very beautiful woman— " Why 13 a gardener the most extraordinary man in the world ?" Ths reply given was as follows ~ . — " Because no man has more business on earth , and he also chooses good Grounds for vrliat ho does . He commands his Thyme ; he is master of the Mint ; and he fingers Penny-royal . He raises his Celery every year , and it is a bad year indeed that does not bring him in a Plum . He meeis with more Benghs than a minister of state ; he make 3 rnGrc Beds than the King of Fraace , and has iu them more genuine Roses and Lilies than are to be found at a country wake . He makes Rsfcg his business more than his diversion , bat it is an advantage to his health and fortune , "which few others find : his wife , moreover , has enough

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Fridat , Apkil 23 . Mr . Alexander , the new member for Antrim county , took the oaths and his seat . The North Midland Kailway Bill , the Chart Canal Bill , ami the Clifton Briuge BUI , were severally read a third time , and passed . Mr . Fox Malle moved that further proceedings on : ill bills for the rew > very of small debts be postponed till toe loth of May . AUlerman COPELaSD opposed the motion . Parties had gone to a great deal of expence in bringing these measures befure Parliament ; they had been for several years waiting for a gentral bill , which appeared to be as remote cow as ever , and they had bo alternative but to proceed with these local bills . After some discussion the House divided , when there aopeared—for the motion , 40 : against it , 30 .
Mr . Lucas gave Dotice that on Tuesday he should move for leave to bring in a bill to authorise the stoppage of the wages of labourers in Australia , to the exttnt of one-fourth , in repayment of the expence of their passage to that celony . Mr . Ewart gave notice that oa the 10 th of May he should move for leave to bring in a bill for the better management of lunatic asylums . Oa tbe motion of Lord Teigamouth the second reading of the College of Maynooth Bill was postponed till the lSih of May .
The Hou&e went into Committee on the Administration of Justice BilL Onclcuse 7 , which rtlated to the transfer of the funds belonging to suitors from tbe Court of Exchequer to the Court of Chancery , Sir E . Sugden objected to the clause , on tbe ground that it would diminish the emoluments of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery , a great portion of which was derived from the commission lie rectived oa the transfer and deposit of Block in the public funds . The Solicitor General thought that it was injudicious to mix up the question of the emolumtnta of tbe accountant -general -with tbe transfer of tunas belonging to tL-.- suitors to the proper court .
Mr . C . ' Bl Lv-EB . said it it was cluar , from the discussion that Lad taken place , that the Accouctant-General eked out his salary by receiving a porcion of the com-Biiisiou paid to the broker for tbe preference given to that broker . He trusted , afi . tr that had t * e « n stuted , that the House would no longer permit a public officer to be paid in so discreditable a way . ( Hear , litar , ) If his ta ' ary was insufficient , let it be increased in a proper and legitimate manner . Mr . Brjscoe thought it extremely proper that the Accountant-General fchmld be paid by a commission upon the . * un . s invested iu the public funds . Mr . O Co ^^ FLL suggested that tbe Court of Chancery shonl . l appoint a broker of its own at a fixe ? 1 salary .
L-jrd J . HussELL was not aware , until the discussion had taken piact ; , of the manner in vrhi-. h the Acccnntant-General was paid . He should be giad to attend to any suggestions made by the Hon . antl Learned Gentleman present , to put an end to sucJi a system . The clause vras then agreed to . On clause 10 , for appointing two additional equity judges , Sir E . Scgden thought one newju'ige would be enough until ttt-y baJ a * ctrtained how the system -worked . He tuoui ; : ;; : the appointment of rivd equity judges in all , wh ; i- tuv-rc were oniy three couiiuou law courts , would lead to great inc-jnveiiknce and confusion . Mr . PEiiBEHToX conenn-cd in much of vrhr . t hal fallen from the Kuht Hon . Gentleman , bat he was 11--t disposed to orr-osc tue clause .
-Vr . C . BlLLLER would support the ciause , because he looked upon the measure as i-ae tf a serious of beneficial alterations . Tte Hull . s : i i Learned Gentlemvn quuteu several cass . 3 to t ' auw the injury and less that had been it-fT-dea upon suitors through the protracted and expensive naturo of Lh-j proceedings in the C-artof Ciiancery , and then suit of which iu iirac ' . ice was found to bs the compromise of GO out of every luo suits . In answer to Mr . Aglionb ? , The attorney-General said ho understood that some alterations were cjutemplatcd in the Six Clerks ' OSce , 3 nd he would a . iJ , that the Lord Chancellor , with the assistance of some of the nio * t eminent men in the profession , was preparing a series of reguiutiens wliich would be found n ; ost beselicial to the suitors in that court and tie pabJic
bome discussion took place on the c ' . anse for Ssiug the salaries of tbe tvfo nevr juOgcs at £ 5 . 000 per annum each . Mr . Pembebton suggested that the salary should be £ 0 , 000 . Mr . Hume said £ 5 , 000 per annum ought to purchise the services of any lawyer . Tha G ; v ~ rnment hid been reproached -with extravagai ce , acd now it was proposed to increase the espouses of the country . The ciauis was then agreed to . In answer to Sir E Sudden , LorAJ . Kussell said ha did not think it would be expedient to introduce any legislative ff . eaiure to prcVint Masters in Chancery sitting io Parlh . u )< . nL
On clause o 6 being read , the object of which waa to p-ant compensatiou to the v&c ^ tb of the Court of Exchequer who might bs iS'ectc-d by tbe Bill , The CHi-NCELLOii of the Excheqwer moved the iutroduction of a clause , in its stead to exclude Mr . Scarlett , who bad recently been appointed to the office of a Master in the Court of Exchequer , from compensation . Mi . PEKBsaio . s said , if compensation were not granted to ail the persons affected by lbs Bill , it would be rejected elsewhere . Lord J . liussELL said he should never consent to any transfer of tbe right of that House to originate money clauses to the House of Lords . After a lengthened discussion the clause , amended so as . to include Mr . Scarlett , was carried by a majority of 73 to 70 . The Honso then resumed .
In answer to Lord M&bon , who inquired whether it was intended to make any reduction in tbe number of convicts on board the hulks , which had been doubled within the last two years , Lord J . Russell svld he fully concurred iu the recommendation of the Transportation Committee , and also in the spirit of thy resolution of tbe Noble Lord , and it was the intention of the Government to carry tbe recommendations of that committee into effect as soon as it was practicable . Sir R . Peel said the question was one of the greatest importance , more especially now that the system of Cipital punishments was bsiug done away with . He hoped it ¦ would meat the immediate attention of tilt Government . The House then Trent into Committee of Supply , and a vote fur £ 21 C 27 . OOO w ^ s takea .
Court of Chancery iIreland ; Bill wasreail a second time-Adjourned at a quarter before one o'clocl :.
Monday , April 25 . Sir Gt . Strickland presented a petition from Saddleworth , with 6 , 500 signatures , t ; kin » notice of the declining state of our manufacture 8 , and praying for a revision of the import duties . The Hon . Member presented the following petitions : —One fromHuddersfield , complaining that chaplains "were appointed to Poor Law Unions and paid at the expense of the ratapayers , this practice operating as an indirect mode of extending the Established Church at the expense of persona who did not belong to it 1 ono from a piece in tha West-Rv . Ubj of Yorkshire , the name of which was not audibly stated , praying for a repeal of the Corn Laws ; and one from the Guardians of the Todmorden Union , complaining of the expenses to which parishes were ' subjected in defrayiDg the charge of vaccinating tue children of the t > oor .
jIt . Christopher presented a petition from a Board of Guardians in the city of Lincoln , praying that they might be invested with a discretionary power to grant outdoor relief in certain eases ; and another petition complaining of the arbitrary povrers of the Poor law Commissioners . The great and long expected business was the committee ea the Irish Registration ( and Qualification ) Bill of tbe Government The Speaker having left the chair , Lord Howick rose to move an amendment upon tbe first clause . He laid it down a » a principle , that tiie basis of the county franchise Ib not occupation , but property ; the £ 50 tenant ' s franchise in England boipg no teal exception from that principle , since £ to
renting is itself an evidence of considerable capital . Ids best franchise for an Irish county voter would , he thought , be a rating on a certain amount beyond all charges and the rent specified in the lease . The tenants ' temptation to put their vaiuw unreasonably high for the s ^ ke of their votes , would be countervailed by their desire to avoid paying too heavy a rate The « xces 9 on which bo would propose to require a rating , in order to confer a franchise , would be an excess of £ 5 beyond the rent and other charges . The " beneficial interest of £ 10 , " contended for bj Mr . O'ConneU , after the deductions -which that member professed to allow , would not be unfairly represented by this £ 5 ratinz . There Were some persons , not included in the £ & leaseholders' test , whom

thia £ 5 rating would admit : those , for instance , who paid a Tery low tent for a property not rateable in &U at so much m £ 8 , but yet yielding to the holders a profit of more than £ 5 beyond that low rent . But as be was aware that on the other baud there would be many voters whom the £ 8 leaseholder ' s test would admit , but whom bis £ 5 property rating would exclude , he was disposed to move also another change , admitting a large class of voters—a ckange which would substitute , for the Government proposal of a rating on a lease at a low rent , a proposal of s rating at a higher rent , but without any lease . The efceumstances ol Ireland , however , were so ¦
different from those of England , and her general wealth so far inferior , that the English £ 50 franchise would be too high for Ireland . What the proper amount would be he was not yet prepared to state ; but it sheuld be an amount which would give a constituency at least as numerous as that which existed immediately after the Reform Act All he should now ask of the House would be merely to consent to the principle . He then moved to omit those words at the end of the first clause which abrogate the beneficial interest franchise created by the Reform Act , for the purpose of enabling him , in the second clause , to define that beneficial interest by the £ i rating propounded in tke earlier part of his speech .
Lord Morpeth said , that though the proposals of Lord Howick mif ; hthave been unobjectionable if moved as additions to the franchise provided by the Bill , they would not be eligible as substitutions for that franchise . He believed that the test proposed by the Government was the most advisable , and by it lie was prepared to abide . Mr . C . Wood observed , that Lord Howlck ' object was to avoid that sweeping disfranchisement which the Bill proposed to inflict on all the existing voti rs , many of whom the now test contained in that Bill would cot reinstate ; and the amendment proposing to omit the words of disfranchisement would leave certain classes of the present voters still in existence , without preventing Ministers from afterwards adding their own new qualifications also . He then showed the result which , according to the returns , the plan of an £$ rating would produce : it would disfranchise no less than one-sixth of the £ 10 voters in fourteen of the Irish unions .
Sir O . Grey opposed the amendment , which he said was much more than a verbal matter . Mr . C . Wood aiiiied a few words ; after which , Lord Stanley rose . He agreed with Lord Howick that an undue and unnatural diminution of the Irish constituency , from tbe amount intended by the lieform Bill , waa not to be permitted . It was assumed that such a diminution had already taken place . . Mr . O'Conndi , however , had expressed his opinion during the progress of the Reform Bill , that it would not bring the numbers up to 3 D , 00 * . There was so great an excitement ou the first registry after that Bill , aud so little
opposition , that the numbers amounted to 52 , 0 « 0 . They still increased , nominally , till the octennial period ; and then , of course , thuy were reduced by thd striking off of many thousands . Yet at this day they were between 40 , 000 and 50 , 000 , exceeding by many thousand persons the numbers which the . Reform Bill was framed and expected to yield . When he should see an alarming diminution of the constituency , he should gladly co-operate with Lord Howick for the redress of that evil ; but he would not , becauso some gentlemen declined to grant leasts of their property , consent to inundate the constituency by letting in voters without any property whatever .
Mr . O'Co . \ A £ LL instanced several counties in which , though registration bad been stimulated by contests , the number of voters was , in his opinion , unreasonably small in proportion to tln-ir population . Lord Howick called himself a welJwisher of Ireland ; buthe would better have evinced liia good wishts by moving to restore the 40 s . freeholders , than by aiding the opposition as he had just been doing . Lord J . Ki'SSELL said , that when the Legislature bad taken up this subject , there was a very general feeling that before it dealt with the question of registry it ought to settle the question of franchise . He bad thougUt £ 5 the proper amount ; ho had given way to the proposal for £ 8 , in the hope that this important imUer might thus bo settled , consenting to endure , for so great an otjtut , the taunts directed against the Government He had Vrn anxious to retrieve the error committed by a great party , who had preferred
their own triumphs to the tranquillizjition of Iieland ; but it now appeared that bis hope was to be thwarted . He did not consider this amendment to bo much more than a question of wording ; but ho was not disposed to coucciloit , because it would introduce inconvenience into subsequent clauses . He cited some of the printed returns , to prove the Inefficiency of Lord Howick ' a proposal for a £ 5 test . 11 was of no use to talk of future redress for tbe evil of excluding the Irish from representation : the present was the time to rr : iiedy that defect If it wero intended to disfranchise tbem , that should be done openly and expressly , and not in this indirect and tortuous way . England , be was persuaded , wished to see them honestly and fairly represented , and not defrauded of their rights . Yuu could not , without exciting grrat indignation , withdraw the franchise bestowed upon tLem , and take a step wliich would justify an angry spirit in
Ire . end . Sir R . Peel said the Js obit ) Lord had done what he usually did when his case was peculiarly defectivelie had made a geneisl declamation on popular rights , to raise a cheer behind him ; and , under the cover of that cheer , he had retired from furdier discussion , and fancied he had made a successful speech Referring to the expectations entertained by the framers of thu Keform Bill , and by Mr . O'Connell himself , with re-!> pect to the numbers of the Irish constituency , ho showed that these numbers did now far exceed alltho ^ e expectations . But \ i tbe numbers were really diminished ^ what were tbe remedies proposed ? In thirty-two In .-h counties , the Government proposed the same uniform franchise which belonged t * the borough ;
excluding property , and giving everything to occupation . If property were excluded from the county franchise in Ireland , how ceuld it be retained in England ? And what Cjnfidence could be placed in . tho legislation of a set of Ministers , who , after taking time to deliberate throughout the recess , had brought forward sach a measure as this , suddenly changing , two or three days ago , thtir £ 5 to an £ 8 qualification ? He vindicated , by reference to the testimony given in 1825 by the leading C . itholics , the disfranchisement of the 40 a . freeholders under the Relief Bill ; and concluded by strongly declaring his opinion that the conduct of Ministers on this question had disentitled them to the confidence of Parliament
Lord Howick said , his object was not , as bad been saegested by Ministers , to restrict the franchise , but tu enlargo it . He wished to preserve the eld principle of a property qualification , and to add other qualifications also . S . rlt . Peel corrected some errors in Mr . O'Connell ' a statements by reference to reported passages of that Menibtr ' s speeches : in the ccurse of which quotations , a good deal of laughter was raised by the perusal of some of Mr . O'Connell ' a old invectives against his present allies . Lord J . Russell and Lord Howick mutually explained—if a little conversation , rather bitter than otherwise , can be called explanatory .
The House then divided , and defeated the Ministers by a majority of 21 : the numbers being 291 and 270 . A little discussion ensried as to the next day of
sitting . Lord J . Russell proposed to adjourn till Monday ; but to this delay the House would not consent , and Wednesday was finally fixed .

LABOUR ; ITS STRUGGLES , AND ITS REWARDS . The general notion in London bas been , that the country labourers are ignorant cnatures ; that they have no sentinitnt at all relative to political rights and liberties ; that , Jike cattle , they know when they are hungry , and that their risiDgs and committing acts of violfciice resemble , in point of motive , the feelings which animate cows or oxen , when they break out of a barren field to get into a rich pasture . Such , too , are the opinions which our Ministe : s and Members of Parliament have entertained towards these producers of the food and the wool anil the wood of the country . Proceeding upon these opinions , they have adopted Bchools without
number , and the distribution of millions of pamphlets , the main object of all which has been , to persuade tho labourers th : it God never intended anything but potatoes for them to eat , and that it is grievously sinful in them not to be content with such diet , though they see the fields and the meadows covered with cum and with cattle , created by their own labour . It has also been fashionable , amongst even the working classes , to look upon the country labourers , particularly those here iu tho South , as ibeing totally ignorant with regard to public matters , and as beiv . g utterly unable to be made to understand anything about the political causes of their misery ; and of course not knowing the least in the world about Parliamentary Reform .
Such opinions were faever entertained by rue for any one moment of my life . I from my childhood have known the country labourers well ; and , in conversation as well as in writing , I have always maintained , that they well understood the nature 0 / their wrongs and the causes of their misery ; anil that the day would come when they would endure that misery no longtr . Now , then , for the circumstances connected with thia petition , which I have spoken of above . In the month of September ; or early in October , 1830 , when scarcely a petition had recently been sent
up tor Parliamentary Reform , the labourers of the parish of Wonston , Bullington , " and Barton Stacey , ( the whole three containing a population less than one thousand five hundred souls , ) met at the hamlet of Sutton Seotney , where they agreed to a petition to the King , and subscribed two or three pence a piece , to pay the txpsnees of a man to carry it and present it to the King at Brighton , where the King then was . The man ckosen to go on foot this distance of sixty miles , was > Joseph Mason , of Bullington , of whom I shall have , to say a good deal by-and-by .
[ The petition was signed by 178 labouring men of the parishes of Wonston , Bullington , and Barton Stacey . ] When Joseph Mason arrived at Brighton , he weni to the residence of tho King , expecting , and justly expecting to exercise his right ' to petition the King V

In this only he was In error ; that is , thinking the right existed , and was something real and not a sham . Instead of being permitted to petition the King , he was told that which ia coutained in the following copy of a note sent to him by Herbert Taylor , to help to pay whose enormous salary he had beeo working all his life-time ' : — , " Pavilion , Brighton , October 21 , 1830 . «< gjB , —1 have received yoar letter of yesterday , inclosing the petition which you havn been depnted by certain persons belonging to the working and labouring classes of the parishes of Wonston , Barton Stacey , aud Bnllington , near Winchester , to present to the King , and I beg to acquaint you , for the information of those who have signed this petition , that the Secretary of State for the Home Department is the proper and official channel of such communications to his Majesty . I therefore return the petition to you , and
" I am , Sir , " Tour obedient servant , "H . Taylor . " «• Mr . Joseph Mason , Bullington , Hants . " J jo' come to London , and then to go home , waa another hundred and twenty miles , or thereabouts . He , therefore , went to a gentleman at Brighton , whom he knew to have been born and brought up at Winchester , gave him the petition , and the insolent note of Herbert Taylor , in order that the former might be sent to the Secretary of State . This gentleman sent the two papers to his brother , who lives in London , and he brought the papers to me , to know how he was to get them to Peel . After looking at the papers , and hearing the whole story , I said , ' Give me the petition ; let it not be disgraced by being hawked about in that manner : a time will yet come when Englishmen may petition something other than Herbert Taylor and Peel . ' When
Joseph Mason was drawing up this sensible petition , and when he waa tramping a hundred and twenty miles on the business of presenting it , he little thought of that condemnation to death , and that transportation and alavwry for life , to wliich he was to be sentenced in about two months from tho day on which he presented b , imself at the palace of ' the King ' s most excellent Majesty' at Brighton . ' He little thought , that being one of a crowd who extorted a few shillings from a farmer or a parson , and of which ho neither extorted nor took any part , would be to commit an act of' highway robbery , ' for which he should be dragged from his wife and family , condemned to death , and , sent into slavery for life I Such , however , was the result ; and the Englishman who can hear the story without feeling his heart swell , and feeling the blood boiliug in his veins , deserves to perish from hunger , and to be food fur the fowls of the air .
In about a month after Joseph Mason ' s failure to get bis petition to the hands of ' hia most excellent Majesty , ' those risings for increase of wages , which had begun in Eist Kent , bad extended themselves iuto Hampshire , and they finally reached the parishes , in about the centre of which lies the hamlet of Sutton Scotncy . Of the part which this petition-carrier took in these risings , I shall have to speak by-and-by ; but first let us Nee who and what he waa . His parents had , for generations , been labourers ; he was bom in one of these parishes . He had a brother whose name is Robert , who was not married . Joseph was married and had one child . They lived in the parish cf Bullington with their mother , who had been a widow a good many years , and who found , in the great and skilful labour
of her sons , in their rave sobriety , in their great industry and excellent m ^ ral character , safe protection from want , from all need of parochial relief , and from all thoso miseries which are the lot of mothers who have children of a different description . Besides tbe work which these two young men did for the farmers in the neighbourhood , they rented a pieco of ground , consisting of about three acres and a half , which they cultivated mornings and evenirgs , and at times when thoy had no other work . They kept a cow , fatted a pig or two , and , therefore , as thero was but one child in the family , they were a great deal better off than the labourers in general . Therefore , it was not mere hunger that induced them to take a part in the risings . They were induced , even if voluntary , to . do it from a
sense of duty towards their poorer and more uufortunate neighbours . The object of the risings waa , not to commit acts of violence on anybody , and no acts of violence were committed ; not for the purpose of committing : acts of plunder , for no acts of plunder took place ; but solely for tho purpose of obtaining a sufficiency of food and of raiment , and of fuel to make life beara ' ole to those whose labour produced all the food , all the raiment , and all the fuel . Yet , for taking the mildest and most inoffensive part in these risings , these two excellent young men were , under the Special Commission which iieey advised the King to give to Vaughan , Parke , Alderson , Wellington , Denman , Sturges Bourne , and Serjeant Wilde , CONDEMNED to death , AND TRANSPORTED FOR LIFE f ! f
In order to do justice , as far as I am at present able , to all the parties eoncenv : il , I will here refer te an account of the trials in Hampshire , as afterwards published by the Curate of the parish of Stoke Charity . I will draw no conclusions myself , and offjr no opinions ; but will simply state the facts as published in the account of the trials . Joseph Mason , aged 31 ; Robert Xason , aged 22 ; were first indicted for what they called robbing one Calender , Sir Tlwmas Baring ' s bailijF . There were six others indicted along with them ; there were a thousand persons or move in this rising ; but , as far as one can jii ' . lgd from the report of the trial , the whole burden of the inquiry was about tbe two Alasont . The jury , howevur , acquitted thorn both . In their defence , both of
them deuied ever having touched any money ; and both said , that they were pressed by the rest of the people , and -compelled to go with them ; aJid there was no evidence brought to show that this was not true . Having escaped here , they were almost instantly clapped into another indictment ; and the next day ¦ were put upsu their trial for robbing W . Dovrden . Here Joseph was caught , but Robert escaped . Ou the same day , however , be was clapped into another indictment , when the Reverend James JollifFe , curate of Barton Stacey , swore , that he was rolled of five shillinys , and that Robert Mason was one of the robbera This parson swore that lie gave the h ' ve shillings out of fear , liobert Mason said , iu his defence , that be had not taken tho money , nor participated in it : that ha
had been compelled to go along with tho rest ; and ' that if the lawyer who had said bo much agaiust him bad been in tho road , with a smock-frock on instead of that gown , and a straw hat instead of that wig , he would now be standing at the bar , as he waa ; that an honest man he had always been ; an honest man he still was , anil an honest man be would ever remain . ' Mr . Wrn . Wickham and Mr . James Wickbani , the two principal landowners in tho neighbourhood , gave him , as they before Lad given bis brother , tho best of characters . Mr . Enos Didams i \ id tho same ; the jury most strongly recommended him to Jiierey ; but , like his brother , he iuas condemned to DEATH , AND TRANSPORTED FOR LIFE !!

LORD CARDIGAN'S HUMANITY : £ WLUCKY TOM MACAULAY . Coleridge in one of his works expres ? ed regret that the science of casuistry had fallen into neglect—that branch cf moral inquiry to which huge tomes were devoted by tbe divines of tue sixteenth and seventeenth centuries . Jeremy Taylor , he complained , was the last of the casuists . Had Coleridge survived till this time , he might have hailed with delight the reappearance of a casuist in tho Whig Secretary at War . Mr . Macuulay ' s exposition oC the caEe of the Earl of Cardigan to the House of Commons was a master-piece in this line . Tae conduct of the Earl was analjzotl with the utmost subtility : tho possible , the probable , aud the improbable motives to his whipping Private Rogers by
way of a voluntary at the close of divine service , were all reviewed in detail . On the whole , Mr . Macaulay inclined to tho opinion that the Earl was to blame ; but ho arrived at this conclusion with characteristic diffidence , and expressed it with the hesitation of a man who , having eUutied under Sii Roger de Coverley , knows " much may be said on both sides . " But Mr . Macaulay has come an ago too late . Simnel Taylor Coleridge is no more , ami with him the admirers of casuistry have died out . So decided is the aversion to casuistry in this age , that even the Downing-street journals have taken up the cry against the luckless wight who has attempted to re-establish that brni . ch of study . The Globe protests that Mr . Macuulay ' s conclusion is erroneous , with much more confidence than
it declared the rumour that Lord Balhaven is to be superseded in the office of Commissioner to the General Assembly to be unfounded . The Chronicle roundly asserts that " Mr . Macaulay went out of his way to volunteer a tribute to the humanity of the Earl of Cardigan ; " and that" Mr . Macaulay ' a statement was either irrelevant or untrue . " The Chronicle does , not . pretend to decide which i and as the two qualities are not incompatible , delicately leaves it to be inferred that the statement may be both . The Chronicle is at tiie pains to ' marshal a formidable array of figures in opposition to the decision , of Mr . Macaulay : and , after , mature deliberation , wo rather , incliuo to the opinion that the Chronicle is in tho right . To only one of the Chronicle ' s conclusions dp we domur— " His laboured tribute lo Lord Cardigan's humanity , and his questionable endeavour to shelter his Lordship ' s indecency under precedent , in order to weaken the feeling which
hia outrageous conduct was calculated to excite , was altogether unworthy of Mr . . Macaulay . " , For " wnwortby" we would read "worthy . " The question with regard to Lord Cardigan ' s humanity is , we admit , nat an easy one : no microscopical inquiries are . His friends say , " No man , in the Eleventh Hussars has been puuiihed with the lash since 1830 "— - < trgal , his Lordship is humane ; it was sheer humanity that made him in such a hurry to punish Private Rogers—he was anxious that tho poor fellow should havp it over . On the other hand , Lord Cardigan's adversaries say that "it is understood Lord Cardigau received instructions from head-quarters to diminish the severity of hie punishments ;" . aud Sir Charles Dalbiac is said to have recorded bis opinion that " Lord Cardigan's command had been characterised by unnecessary harshness . " So , possibly the hurry with Private Rogers may be owing to hi 3 Lordship ' s long abstinence from the infliction of

punishment having made him hungry to get » man whipped . Lord Cardigan seems to be like pitch—he defiles every man who handles him . Last week , a sentimental journalist expressed apprehension that "the connection with Lord Cardigan might prove fatal to Prince Albert ' s peace . " This week the connection with Lord Cardigan has opened the mouth of the Downingstreet journals against their own Secretary at' War : " the little dogs and all , Tray , Blanche , and Sweetheart , how they bark at him f" Having retrenched an un from tke Chronicle ' s worthy , we must transplant it to our own lucky , and use in future the designation un-Ivcky Tom Macaulay . Exiled from Windsor , and carped at by the Globe and Chronicle , it is clear that hia planet has passed its culminating point" The day of his destiny ' s over , And the star of his fate hath declined . " It only remains to be added , that" Even we , the story hearing , With a sigh can cry poor Tom 1 " —Spectator .

EXECUTION OF BARTHOLOMEW MURRAY FOR THE MURDER OF MR . AND MRS . COOKE , AT OVER PEOVER . Chester , Saturday Night . —The last sentence of the law was carried into effect upon the body of this wretched culprit at the City Gaol this morning . From the time of his apprehension in Ireland and his commitment on the charge , which at the last assizes was bropght so clearly home to him , his conduct bad been uniformly good . The order for the execution was forwarded from the Secretary of State ' s office , and received by the city sheriff , W . J . Leller , Esq ., on Sunday . The announcement of its arrival made no alteration iu the habit or manners of the unhappy youth . He was locked up every night in tbe condemned cell by himself , and is said to have enjoyed up to Thursday night , sound and unbroken sleep . On Friday morning the holy sacrament was administered to him by the Ktv . J . Carberry .
Ho then appeared quite resigned to his fate , and deeply impressed with the urgent necessity of making his peace with God . On Friday afternoon be expressed a wish to see the prisoners who up to the day of his con demnation had been confined in the same yard with him . He bade all an afibctionate adieu . Between eight and nine o ' clock in the evening he was revisited by the Roman Catholic clergyman . He then undressed" himself , got into bed , and taking his prayer book fn bis hand , with the exception of some short intervals , read the contents with marked devotion throughout the night He dressed about four o ' clock , and partook of a hearty breakfast . Tiie reading of the usual mornipg prayers soon after commenced , the culprit , in aa audible voice , joining in the service , and repeating word for word after the clergyman . The county
authorities next conducted Murray to the lobby ' adjoining tbe outer gate of the castle . He as there handcuffed , and the city sheriff and his ofiicers being announced as waiting for the culprit at Giovtr ' s Stone , the city boundary , Mr . Dunstan conducted bis prisoner on foot in that direction . A strong body of the city police , armed with cutlasse 3 , attended to keep back the crowd . The unhappy man walked by the side of the priest , still repeating the prayers . His step was remarkably firm , aud the gaz ? of a crowd of some thousands did not appear iu the ' least , to affect him . On the arrival of tho county procession at the boun-. dary , a black railed cart , without springs , provided by
the city authorities , was in readiness to convey the culprit to the city gaol . He waa lifted into it by Mr . Hill , the superintendent of the city police , and Mr . Haswell , the governor of the city gaol , and manacles having been fixed to liis legs , the Rev . J . Carberry took a seat in the cart by the aide of the culprit , both riding with their backs to tho horse , which , after the true Tyburn style , was led by the hangman , a practitioner from Staffordshire . The governor of the city fiaol headed the procession , and the sheriff , under sheriff , aud a large body of officers brought up the rear . The crowd was exceedingly dense , and the police constables had great difficulty in keeping them back ,-so as to make a passage for the cart .
The procession reached the gaol as the clock struck five . The cart was taken to the back door of the prison , and Murray ' s manacles haviug been removed , he was conducted through the chape ! , in which his coffin , made of plain undressed deal , was lying , to the cell at the foot of the fatal platform . The sight of neither the comu nor drop appeared to affect him in the least On entering the cell he directly knelt down and continued his devotions . At half-past nine o ' clock a second breakfast was provided . Murray merely took a single cup of tea . About ten o ' clock tbe Rev . W . Gr . Eaton , the ceunty prison chaplain , p ; iid the unfortunate man another visit
Aftor shaking bauds with him , the roverend gentleman said , ' Well , Murray , how do you feel ? What is the state of your mind at present ? " The answer to which was , " Quite composed . " The chaplain then asked , " Are you prepared for the awful change so shortly about to take place ? " Murray replied , ' " , sir . " " Do you feel perfectly resigned to your fate ?" " Yes , eir . " The reverend chaplain then tendered his services to the unfortunate man , who , through- Mr . Carberry , respectfully declined them , at the same time thanking the reverend guntleman for his kind offer and tbe general attention shown to him during his lengthened imprisonment in the county gaol .
At length all being prepared , and just as the unfortunate man was about to ba conducted to the drop , the Rev . Mr . Eaton feelingly appealed to him in the following words : — " Bartholomew Murray , 1 have obtained the permission of Mr . Carberry to ask you a solemn question . The religious exercises to which you have been subject must have very deeply impressed your mind , and as you are about very shortly to appear in the presence of God , I do not require you to answer unless you do it in sincerity and truth . Is the sentence , for which you are now about to suffer , just or unjust ?" Murray at once replied , " 1 have no declaration to make . " He was then conducted to the drop , and having ascended the scaffold with a firm step , ho knelt
with Mr . Carberry on the drop . After a few minutes spent in prayer , the executioner proceeded to adjust the roj _ e . His pastor then administered the sacrament of extreme unction , and , turning round andahakiug hands with Murray , said , " I am now about to leave you , " to which he replied , in a firm voice , " I am satisfied , God be with you . " These were his last words ; in an instant the drop fell , and he died without a perceptible struggle . He was in tho nineteenth year of his age . The body , after banging tbe usual time , was cut down and placed in a coffin . At night it was privately removed to the Castle , and , agreeably to tho provisions of the Act of Parliament , interred within the preclnets , without Christian burial .
From the circumstance of there having been no-public execution in Chester since April 19 th , 1834 , on immense concourse of spectators were collected together on the city walls . At the moment of the execution , twenty-five minutes past twelve o'clock , the" crowd was txceedingly dense . Fortunately , no accident of consequence occurred .
