BLACKWOOWS EDINBURGH MAGAZINE, ('I‘ory.)

THESE Reprints have been in successful operation in this coun- try for twenty years, and their circulation tsconstaiitly on the increase notwithstanding the com tition the encounter from Atnsricait periodicals of a similar c ass. and mm the numerous Eclectics and Magazines made up of selections from foreign peri- od‘ s. This fact shows clearly the high estimation in which they are held by the intelligent reading pltbltc, and alfords a gun- ranteu that they are eatablished on a firm basis, and will be coau- ' ' rru tion. ‘m;‘II.I\|'0“hl’|'“IlIIl:I°O wporks are dhtinguiahed by the political shades above indicated, yet but a small portion of their contettts is devot to litioal subjects. It is their literary character which gives them thelirchief value. and in that they statid confessedly far above all other journals of their class. Blacktoood, still under the masterly idaaeeof Cllrllttiphgr North. uraintains tie ancie_nt celebrity. and at this time, unusually attractive, from the serial works of But- wer and other literary notables, written for that magazine. and lirst appearing in its columns botlt in Great Ilriiain and in the United States. such works as " The Ctixions" and " M w Novel." (both by Bulwer). “ My Peninsular Medal," he Green “and ," and other serials, of whic numerous rival editions are is- sued by the leading ublisheis in this country, have to be reprinted by those publishers frotu the pages of Illiiclovood, after it has been istued b Messrs.

\Ve give below a letter of \Vns-hinglrig Ilunt, Governor ofihe State of New York, to the Sherilfof Duchess County. The etter was was written for publication. in answer to numerous nppeols made to Mr._ Hunt to pardon a murderess. He has taken a just view of his

"Since granting the reprieve by which the execution of Ann Ilorig was postponed until the 80th instant, I have received from your County. numerous communications, urging the exercise of clemenc in her behalf. It would seem, that many of our citizens regard I e pardoning power vested in the Executive as a personal perog-itive, to be exercised at pleasure from the promptings of law or the guilt of the offender. 'l'his partial and erroneous view of the subject. and the appeals which it naturally suggests. add much to the embarrassments necessarily incidental to the discharge of m duty in capital cases. On recurring to the real design of the Con- stitution, every candid mind must perceive, that the power of par- don lodged with the Executive Department, was not intended to defeat the objects of the law, by arresting its execution or changing its penalties in cases of well-established and deliberate guilt. is a remedial power, to be resorted to for the correction of errors and prevention of injustice. lte exercise is legitimate.-,whenever the conviction is founded upon inadequate proof, or when the verdict is inconsistent with newly-discovered facts; and in cases of frcllltent occurrence, when the crime is accotnpanied with mitigating cir- oumstances, which diminish the moral guilt of the olfender. None of these considerat' as can be advanced in favour of the par- don of Ann llsag. er guilt is conclusively established. A cure- ful examination of the testimony. precludes every doubt. Though circumstantial in part. a complete chain of proof is presented, as convincing to the mind, as the positive evidence of an eye-witness. ‘he most earnest advocates of clemency, with few exceptions, candidly admit the justice ofthe verdict. ‘ ecase presents no ex- tenuating features tojustily ms in releasing her from the sentence o t aw. On tlte contrary, her critne was of the deepest atrocity. Without even the poor lea of resentment. she destroyed a kind and ccnfidiag husband. y mingling poison with his daily suste- nance. Sbs destroyed her lawful protector to gain a parsmour, and obtain free scope for the indulgence of a guilty passion. Iluvin conceived this diabolical purpose, she proceeded to execute it wit a degree of perseverance rarely equalled. Failing in s but at- tempt, she secured poison of a surer potenc , continued to adniineter It, until her trusting victim found relief in death. It was smu or made doubl detestable by the su rsddod crimes of treachery and adultery. The deliberate assassination of the hue-

b the wife. has been contemplated with peculiar horror, and penis by the highest penalties in all countries. and in every stage of human society. I‘he ccrnmon law England, r rds it a species of social tresson;and condemns rider to be uracil. Of the various forms of murder, that which is indicted under the diqubs of lriatliiess, disarming suspicion by professions of fidelity, inset be acknowledged the most odlous and rsvoltin . The crime of killing by poison, ises iul'y abhorrent; for the seated malice which it evincee, the faci ity with ishich it may be committed, and the itupossihility of guarding a ainst it. b hunran foresight, render it neseasu for the public satiety, that the punishment should be exsiriplary and curtain. Mun u my fellow-citizens, yieldi sentiments of benevolence, and fo etfal of the enormity of the crime, have persuaded thenisslvse, rtiiai it is my duty to shield the convict front the extreme penalty of the law; because ' man and a mother.

the criminal code makes no distinction between the sexes ia. the punishment of crime. The woman who has renounced the virtue which adorns the female character, and profaned the laws of God and man by the deliberate murder of her only legitimate p_ro- tector. appears bellire us disrobed of all those moral graces which entitle her to plead the prerogatives of the gentler sex. She ceases to be a woman; or s are stain ' of the inno- cent; she presents a melancholy spectacle of the guilt and degra- dation to which our common nature may descend, when the nobler afsctioue are extinguished by depraved and Iicentious passions.

'I‘be demands of justice, the sacredneas of the lzsmily compact, and the safety of society, forbid such a conclusion. It is it painful neceuity; but the law must be my guide. In the case of Janus Williams the coloured convict,who is also sentenced to be executed on the lltlth instant, I tnust adhere to the decision which I communicated to you some weeks a 0. Numerous appeals have been made to me on his behalf; on t e ground that he did not contemplate the commission of murder. at where life is destroy in the perpetration of a felony, the law has pronounced it a capitu olfence, and it is dilficult to conceive a case to which this principle is more justly applicable than the present.

Not that anybody fancies that more sound will awaken the spirit of combustion, or cause an ex losioii to take place, but that their feelings are always kept sul ued. If one titan wishes to comniu- tticate any thing to another, or to ask for any thing from somebody at a short distance, he must go there; for he is never permitted to shout or mill out. 'l'heic is ll particular reason for this last regu- lation. Amid all this silence, wlienetcr it sltout does occur. every

y knows that some iriimincnt danger is expected the next trio- nicnt, and all rush away lie.-idlnng from the direction of the shout.

If the shout- Rilng be continued for some time (for a area might be drowned in a

river), that might cause one or two ofthe boldest to return; but this would be a very rare occurrence. It is by no means to be in- ferred. that the urea are selfish and insansible to the perils of each other; on the contrary, they have the greatest consideration for each other, as well as for their employers; and thittk of the danger to the lives of others. and the property at stake at all times, and more especially in all the more dangerous ‘ houses.’ The proprie- lore of the various gunpowder mills, till display the satne considera- tion for each other, and whenever any improvement tending to lessen danger is discovered by one, it is immediately communicated to all the others. The wages of the men are good, arid the hours very short; no artificial lights are used in the wo.kr.

THE FEMALE I-'..\llGllA'I‘l0N T0 AUSTIIALI I.

About a fortnight ago, we gave some account of the departure of thirty-six female emigrants for Auatraliii, under the auspices of the I"entale litnigrution Society, established by the lion. Sydney llerbert, M. P., and his wife, attd to-day, we have to make ll st- miltir announcement with regard to rttiotliar bod of women, thirty- tive in number, who sailed yesterday frotti Gritvcscml in the Black- wull. Captain Mcliirley. an excellent ship belonging to these en- terprising owners, the Messrs. Green. ' ' ' s the twenty- sixth party ofemigrnnts who have been sent out by the society; and it is grittifying to know, that nearly I,-I00 women belonging to a poor and deserving class, have been tltus nssisted, tho great ob- ject of providing them with good and profitable eii-ployment in the colonies has succeeded beyond the expectations of the tttost sanguine prontoiers ofthe association. It is probably owing to n knottledgo oflhis fact, having been tiiude generally known, that iipplications have been recently received from a better and healthier class of women tlinn at lirst came under the notice ofthe society, many oftliem pay in: a portion of the passage-tnnnoy out of their own resources, no others paying the whole, mm a desire to enjoy thegadvanisges which a connection with the society is sure to confer upon them in the colony to which they are seat. It has occasionally been p:tltI- ful to witness the traces which want and overstraincd liibour have left upon the countenance ofs young and fricndless woman, snatch- ed from u live of misery, through the benevolent efi'orts of the olIic'ers of this association; but from \hlIlllt:\'Gt cause the change has arisen, no such unpleasant spectacles were to be seen in the art which sailed yesterday in the Bluckwall. In point of health, spirits, and general appearance, they were rriuch superior to the general run of their predecessors. 'I'be oungest of the party was 14 and the oldest 34, the great majority having hitherto been em- ployed as domestic servants or ncedlewomen. As on all previous occasions. their antecedents have been carefully enquired after. Good character qualifications were required of each; and as these accompany them to the colony, as well as testimonials of good con- duct duri the voyage, if such are deserved, the rigid system of attestation thus followed becomes eventually of great iinportitnce to the emigrant. It is with much satit-faction,wo are able to state, that the accommodation rovided for the poor women. is of the ver best description. '1‘ iey are placed tnidships, where rt large a airy cabin for their common use is board oil‘ from the rest of the ahi . The sleeping berths scout to be exceedingly commo- dious, an every arraiigenient that cotild bothougltt of for remot- ting their comfort has been attend to. Neither ought it to be omitted, that in addition to all this. the Messrs. Green take the female emigrants of the society at a figure vary considerably below the ordinary surige-money.

The Blue wall is a fine sltip ofs L000 tons. Besides the wo- weu, above referred to, there are upwards of I70 passengers on board. and so far as s linsty glance at their accommodation enabled us to judge, it appeared to be ofs vary superior kind. Man ' of the passengers are highly respectable, and the appearance it of t om, left a favourable impression on the minds of the visitors. Before the ship was cleared of stran ois, lunclt was served in the main saloon, and toasts to the hash 'ol the owners, the captain, the ssengers. and to the prosperity of the t"einale Emigration I"‘uri , were heartily given and respon istreesing scones followed, when the parting moment came; but a round of

, 9 hearty cheers was nevertheless given from the ship, and as heartily

returned by the visitors as they moved ofl' in the steamer wbic

bore them to town. Very soon after the Blackwell dropped down
