37/E Iioiiifob Trims; With An Account Of...
37 / e IioiiifoB Trims ; with an Account of the More Distinguished Persons ' who have been Confined in them . By Hfipwosxn Bixoif . London : Jackson and Waltbrd . The substance of this volume originall y appeared in a series of papers intheDailj ivetw , en the chief prisons of the metropolis . In presenting them in a collected shade , the author has materially improved them , and extended the scope of his inquiry so as to include political as well as common prisons . This new ieature possesses , for ns , the greatest interest ; and it is evident , also , that the chapter which
treats of the employment of the Tower as a political prison , has engaged the largest share of Mr . Dixon's attention , as a historical student . In preference , therefore , to following him into the discussion of the vacates' queestiones of our criminal jurisprudence , arising out of transportation and other secondary punishments , we shall take a few extracts from this part of the work . It will-he seen that the author possesses considerable descriptive power , and the ability which imparts interest to painful subjects , without making them nnduly exciting .
In view of the sanguinary treatment of political offenders which , within a recent period , . and even now , disgraces continental nations , we are frequently congratulated on the mildness and liberality which distinguishes administration in this country . The fact is so ; hut it should he recollected that we have attained this stage of civilisation , as it were , through . a baptism of blood . The annals of our state prisons abound with incarcerations as abominable and as cruel as those which stain the
memory of any similar receptacle of human suffering . Whether they arose from the inherent ruthlessness of all political persecutionand especially of political persecution by a weak government or transitory faction—or from the personal malignity of the reigning prince or minister , the result is the same . IVe have not much left to boast of . The leaders of hostile parties were cut off by a speedy or a tard y exercise of vengeance , in such numbers as to mate the pages of English history sufficiently red in their hue . Nor was the slaughter always confined to leaders . Sir George Bowes perpetrated the most dreadful
and wholesale slaughter in putting down the rebellion of 1569 , in the counties of York and Durham , called the "Kising of the North . " Bowes seems to have been a Haynau in his war , with the exception that he did not flog women ; and , though acting under the orders of a sanguinary Privy Council , he confined his retributory and repressive measures to men . Fear was evidently the motive of the cruelties committed in this case . The Government of Elizabeth seemed to be in the most imminent jeopardy , and in the rough-and-ready logic of that time her Council concurred , that the surest way of rendering themselves secure was ,
to hang at least one man out of every Tillage within the circle of the disaffected country . Stowe , the historian , says , that he learnt from Sir Geo . Bowes himself , that some of the rebels were executed in everymarket town and in every public place from Newcastle to lYetuerby , a distance of at least sixty miles , by forty broad , " which must needs , " adds the chronicler , " destroy a great number of these wretches ; " a concise but indubitable inference . The persecutions of James the First , his son ,
and his grandson , had not the mitigating quality that they were the result of fear , or of a frail and insecure hold upon power . They were prompted by an aggressive and despotic spirit , which sought to render the will of the monarch supreme over a * l institutions ; and make the people hold life and property , subject to the pleasure and the caprice of the throne . We need not , therefore , be surprised at the expulsion of a race so hostile to public liberty , and at the failure of every attempt to restore them to the English throne .
Lathe low and melancholy church of St . Pcter-ad-Vincula , which stands at the margin of the fatal green in the Tower , lie the remains of men and women the victims of ill-regulated ambition , or political hatred and courtl y intrigue . Among these victims and martyrs there is the last resting place of John Eliot , whose treatment and heroic conduct Mr . Dixon thus decribes : — John Eliot , the wit , the orator , the patriot , the frfcnd of Hampden , and the foe of Charles . Sir John Eliot was one of the first and firmest ssserters of pubic liberty against the tyrannous proceedings of Charles Stuart , and bis minions ; even in a camp
• which held such men as Pym and Granville , Hampden and Dkges , Selden and Holies—all men of great learning and eloquence—Eu ' ot still held the foremost place . * * Eliot , with Selden , Hollis , and many otters , was thrown into the Tower , and ordered to be kept in close confinement , relieved only by his examinations before the Council ; but neither solitude nor privation conld bend the pride of his lofty soul . When questioned as to his doings in Parliament , he boldly reolied , " Whatever was said or done by me in that place , and at that time , was performed by me as a public man , and as a member of that house ; and l am , and always shall be , ready to give an account of mv sayings and doings there
, whenever Ishau be called unto by fhathonse , where , as I take it , n is only to he questioned . " Hollis answered with equal intrepidity , as did the others . Such men were worthy to be the champions of England s rights * . After a trial , which was a mockery the payors were sentenced to be confined until they acknowled ged themselves in the wrong , and gave security for their good behaviour . Some of them after various periods of imprisonment gave way , paid their fines , found sureties to answer for them , and made submission . UoHb paid 1 000 marks
. Valentine £ 500 ; Selden and Eliot retused to admit the justice of their sentences , and remained in prison . When the latter was told tbat he had hepn sentenced to pay a fine of £ 2 , 000 , he remarked «• I have txo cloaks , two suits , two pair of boo ts and galoches . aud a few books-that » all my prc 8 ent suostacce , and if they can pick out of that £ 2 000 much good may it do them . " When it became ' evident the captive would never make submission , the court , thinking that it had got him secured for life relaxed its cruelties so far as to allow him books and writing materials , which he employed in comnosina
his vigorous treatise called " Ihe Monarch y of Man *' and in writing to Hampden and other friends , as also to his children . AH this prison-born literature is profoundly interesting . The correspondence with his sons is described as truly noble and pathetic . He exhorted them to stand firmly by the principles for which he was gradually falling a sacrifice—a . trust lay 'upon them as upon himself . He says no enemy had eyer been able to " wound his mind ; " and so long as pis children remained true to their political faith , he

could hold the last grief at a distance . For himself , his health was suffering severely from the wretchedness of his cell , the monotony of the scene , the want of air and generous diet , he was growing faint and feeble ; but still he says he should not bate a jot of heart or hope . That the nation was not indifferent to its champion s fate is certain . His native county petitioned in his favour , and the whole country beheld his fortitude m so trying a time with enthusiastic admiration . Now , when he was dying beyond all hope , the king put forth his royal arts to induce him to submit and accept a pardon . With this view , it seems to have been hinted to him , that he had only to ask Ms life at his master ' s hands to receive it . He accordingly wrote a manly application to the Lord
Chief Justice . That functionary replied , "Though brought lew in body , Sir John is as high and lofty in mind as ever ! " and that he must write to the . king . Eliot thereupon wrote an equally manly letter to his Majesty , to which he returned for answer . "It was not humble enough ! " It was then changed as to its phrase , but nothing was said in it which could be construed into a triumph by the court . No answer was vouchsafed . Ilis fate was then sealed . = Charles had promised himself the pleasure of . humbling Ms republican virtue ; and when he found all the arts employed to that end completely baffled , bis resentment knew no bounds . Sir John lingered a few months more , and then died , as he had jived , with the expression of an unconquerable love of freedom on his lips . I am sorry to relate what followed .
When the patriot was no more , it might have been expected that the hatred of his murderers would have been appeased—but it was not so—the Stnarls never knew what it was to forgive . When his children begged to be allowed to inter the ashes of their father in trie same vault with his ancestors , the ruthless king replied , " Let him be buried where he died ;" and so he was . But the unsated tyrant missed his object . He thought to heap indignities on the name of his great subject ; instead of this he added a new and paramount interest- to the place of . his burial . Pew men can stand by that simple grave without feeling their pulses quicken , and a generous glow about the heart ; even in death , the tyrant-hater is a conqueror . The sight of his tomb still nerves the mind , and inflames the patriot zeal of every man worthy of the liberties he save his life to vindicate . :
Close npon the grave of Eliot is the restingplace of the last o ff enders on whom the ancient punishment of treason was inflicted in this country : — A stone marked with three circles and a line drawn through them-significant emblem—indicates the grave in which repose the bodies of the last traitors who died for their crimes in the neighbourhood of the Tower , and were fanned in this church—the Earl of Kilmarnock , Lord Balmerino , and Simon Lord Lovat—leaders of the Scotch rebellion of 1745 . Mr . Dixon brings to notice some of the more obscure inscriptions of the prison-rooms of the Tower : —
It is a curious subject to seek into the motives which impel men to write their names on their prison walls . Men of all ranks and characters do it : —the noble in the Beauchamp Tower , the felon in the house of correction , the murderer in Newgate . Perhaps it is the mere iusUncfc of activity , denied every other mode of expending itself . When political offenders were most numerous , the greatest hardships and indignities were heaped upon them in the Tower . Except as a special grace , no books , paper , or pens were allowed to the prisoners ; no visitor , no friend , wife , or child , no physician , no minister of religion , could obtain admission without an order in council , and this was granted very sparingly . The original orders still lie in the Record Office , and they make
but a small handful of papers for two centuries , during which time many hundreds of wretched beings inhabited the dungeons of the Tower . Then there was what was termed close . confinement . Under orders of this nature prisoners were not suffered to leave their narrow dungeons for air , rest , exercise , or the wants of nature . As a sample of this may be quoted the act of commitment of the Marquis of Argyle , Marquis of Antrim , Sir Henry Vane , and Sir Arthur Haselrig . They are ordered to be kept iu close confinement , no person to have access to any of them , except one servant , to be shut up in the same room wiiheach of them respectively , and to be debarred from receiving letters , or using pen , ink or paper . The storv of the sufferings borne by the great Duke
of Norfolk , serves still better as an illustration of the condition of prisoners confined in the Tower in the days ' of the Tudors . Norfolk was the first nobleman inEnoland ; he was uncle to Catherine Howard , and therefore nearly related to the king ; he had served his country by his wisdom in the council chamber and at foreign courts—by his valour at sea—and on the field of Fiodden . He had even been appointed by Henry as one of bis executors during the minority of Pricce Edward . His son , Lord Surrey the poet , was one of the most graceful and accomplished men of the age , and one of the writers of whose fame England is still proud . Father and son were both arrested in one day , and , unknown to each other , sent to separate dongeons in the , Tower . The crime laid to
their charge was , that they had quartered on their shields the arms of Edward the Confessor . This they justified , by showing that their ancestors had done ihe same without challenge , and by producing a decision from the Herald ' s College . . Not being a peer of the realm , Surrey was tried at Guildhall , where , in snite of the clearest evidence , the court obtained , by its foul practices , a verdict of guilty—and the brilliant voung noble was conducted at once to the block . A dark day in the annals of England was the day of his execution . The same fate was intended for tho father , but being a peer of the realm , it was necessary to get a judgment against him from his peers . This was not difficult with a king like Henry the Eighth / and ministers like the Seymours—but it was a work of
time . Parliament was called together , and a bill of attainder hurried through the houses wilh indecent haste . On the 27 th of that month—eight days after the death of Surrey—it received theroyal assent , and orders were sent to the Tower to have the Duke executed next morning . But during the interval the tyrant died , and in the . confusion caused by that event Norfolk was forgotten . Daring the whole reign of Edward the Sixth he languished inprison . A letter written by him during this reign is still extant , in which he humbly craves permission to have some books , which were laid up at Lambeth , sent to him , for he says most pathetically he cannot keep himself awake—he is always dozing , and yet never able to sleepnor has he ever done so for a dozen years ! He
, also beseeches his masters to allow him to walk in the daytime , in the outer chamber , for the sake of his health , which has suffered very severely by his close confinement . With a touching simplicity he observes that they can still lock him up , as at present , in his small dungeon at night . He also begs that he may be allowed sheets to lie on ! Such was the economy of an English state prison—such the usage to which the first baron of the realm was subjected , at a period when the laws did not even pretend to be impartial towards the great and the obscure ! Look round the walls of this Beauchamp Tower . Most of these inscriptions were made by men of whom no other trace is left . Like the beings of an older order of creation , they have completely passed away ,
a few marks in the granite only remaining to tell the brief story of their lives . Yet , read by the light of such memorials as Fisher and Howard have left behind , how full of saddest eloquence they seem . How strangely laden with a sense of desolation , of heartweariness , of abandoned hope , are those rudely cut old Italian words in the shield on the right hand of the first recess in the wall : — " Disposi : che : vole : la : fortuna : che : la : mea : speranza : va . al : vento : pianga : ho '• volio : il s tempo : perdudo : e : semper : stel : mea : tristo : e : disconteto . " Which may be thus rendered into English : — " Since Fortune has scattered all my hopes to the winds , I wish that Time i ' self were no more , my star being ever sad and unnropitious . " The signature appended to these words is , " Willlm . Tyrrel , 1541 . " But history has left us no clue to the person or crime of any so named . Fancy will picture nim in various guises . From the genuhie agony of his utterance , one could readily
believe he was lyingat the time under sentence of death . Another unknown , of the name of William Bame , has left his jvisdom printed on the wall under date 1559 , in the following pious proverbs : — " Better is it to be in the house of mourning than in the bouse of banqueting . It is better to have some chastening than over much liberty . There is a time for all things : a time to be born and a time to die : and the day of death is better than the day of birth . There is an end for all things ; and the end of a thing is better than the beginning . Be wise and patient in trouble , for wisdom defendeth as well as money . Use well the time of prosperi ' y , and remember the time of misfortune . " These lessons are among the commonplaces of our great store of verbal wisdom ; but no one can read them on tho stones of Beauchamp Tower as commonplace . They seem to come like drops of blood distilled from a lacerated heait . In the third recess , part of an inscription runs
thus : — . , ^ " Unhappy is that man Whose acts doth procure The misery of this house , In prison to endure . 1576 . Thomas Clause . " Who was Thomas Clarke ? No one knows Under it we read ;—" Thomas Miagh , which Lietb . here alone , That faine would from hence begone .
And the verse goes on to say that he has been put to the rack in vain , but is still kept a close prisoner . An inscription , consisting of a pair of scales and the following words , catches the eve : —* ' 1585 . Thomas Bawdewin , Jnli . As virtuemakethlivesosincauseth death . These men have sent their names down to posterity—but nothing more . In everything else they nave perished , and the memory of their offences with ™? i ti emifely as if they had never lived aud provoked the jealousy of this world ' s rulers . From these extracts it will be seen tbat Mr . Dixon s work combines inatructivn of a Tain-

The Engineer And Machinist, And Engineer...
The Engineer and Machinist , and Engineering and Scientific Review , for September . On * and Co ., London . This useful periodical contains a large amount of information for the classes for whose special benefit it is published . The vacillation exhibited by the managers of the Industrial Exhibition o f 1851 , and ' its " consequent injurious effects upon those classes in this country who are likely to become competitors , meets with
severe but merited reprehension in the opening article . The folly of entrusting to titled and aristocratic amateurs the practical ; arrangements for an exhibition was never more conspicuously demonstrated than' in the past career of the Koyal Commission . Another interesting article is entitled " Grutta Percha , ' and its application to Engineering purposes . " This material has been more rapidly and extensively applied in manufacturing and domestic economy than any other ever-discovered by
man . In 1843 , Dr . William Monfgomerie sent from Singapore to the Society of Arts of London , sundry specimens , for which they awarded him the gold medal . The Dector states that there are varieties of this substance , —Gutta Griek , Gutta Tuban , an < i Gutta Percha , —and that the name gutta pereha is pure Malayan , it being pronounced as if spelt pertsha . The term " gutta" means the gum or sap of the tree , and " percha , " the species from which the sap exudes . The use of this substance has increased most rapidly ; the first export from Singapore , the island , on which it was first discovered , being scarcely two hundred weight , while now it is
equal to 14 , 000 cwts . annually . Whether we look upon it as useful as a decorative agent , for multiplying at a rate hitherto unequalled for cheapness and durability , those specimens of the beautiful , the works of , the pencils of our artists , or the gravers of our sculptors , —or as applicable to the less ostentatious uses of various branches in social economy , —we can have no hesitation in noticing gutta percha as one of the most remarkable substances which has yet been introduced J' and one which bids fair— if that is possible —to be applied to more numerous uses than we
have hitherto seen it . Extended in its applications to a degree never yet possessed by one and the same substance—unaltered in its composition , and subjected to the same processes of preparation—we find it as simply and easily brought out in the shape of an elaborate piece of carving , fit for the palace of a king , as in the plainest form used for the exterior covering of a peasant ' s shoe . Its applications are daily multiplying , and the question is not "for how many purposes can it be used ? " —but , struck by the never-ceasing novelties it is changed to , —" where will its . applications cease ? " ' •' ¦'
After noticing a great variety of purposes to which this exceedingly valuable article has been applied , ] the following is mentioned , which appears to ns deserving of wide publicity , and calculated to be very serviceable in the , humblest households . By the adoption of this plan , a water-tight , clean , and healthy cistern , may be obtained for a mere triflle . An engineer , of some note , had ordered a wooden cistern to be-made for the purpose of supplying the boiler of a direct acting engine . From some defect in the workmanship , needless to be here specified , the cistern when finished and set up in its place , leaked very badly . It could not be remedied , but at a considerable expense . The engineer when referred to , thought of a simple remedy to obviate the defect : he remembered that the
solution used for fastening guttapercha soles on , was nothing but that substance dissolved in naptha . No sooner was the idea settled in his mind but it was acted upon ; the cistern was emptied and reversed over a coke fire to dry it . This done , a good quantity ( a rare order for the vendor oi the gutta percha soles ) of the solution was obtained and melted , till of the consistence of paint . By a broad brush , this " patent waterproof paint" was quickly applied to the interior of the cistern . As each coat dried the operation was repeated , till three coats were thus put on ; they dried quickly . The cistern was once more put up in its place , with a beautiful layer of gutta percha covering its interior . It leeked no more from that day to this . The whole operation cost five shillings ; a lead lining would have cost as many pounds . This simple and admirable plan has since been privately adopted for lining cisterns . . , The remaining articles . are . written with a thorough knowledge of the subjects referred to , and , as . far . as we can judge , in an impartial spirit .

Mackenzie ' s ¦ Educational Boohs . Mackenzie , Wine-office Court , London . For a mere trifle Mr . Mackenzie has put it in the power of a poor working man to supply his children with an ascending series of admirable school books , beginning in the simplest and most elementary , and gradually rising to the more complicated and difficult studies of our usual commercial schools . When we say that Mavor ' s Spelling Book , and Murray ' s Grammar , are each to be obtained for a couple of pence , and the other works at a like price , we have done sufficient to indicate the value of the boon which this series confers on the working classes . The high rates at which they are ordinarily published , constitute a serious item in the quarterly school bill of the middle classes , and we can conceive of no undertaking more useful in itself , or more worth y of general support , than one which thus places tho power of acquiring accurate and varied knowledge , within the reach o f the humblest classes of society .
Encroachments On St. James ' S ^ Park.—O...
Encroachments on St . James ' s ^ Park . —Onco upon a time , as the ancient chroniclers report . Queen Elizabeth took it into her head to enclose St . James ' s Park ; and on consulting her . great Chan ; cellor as to the cost at which it might be done , the startled philosopher replied—• ' To enclose the Park , madam!—a crown . " The Londoners have ever retained a proverbial , almost passionate , love of their parks . Their fathers for many generations back have sported there as children , made love there in their prime , reposed amid their leafy shades in old age . Physically , these green spaces are called the lungs of London ; morally and historically they are riot less intimately connected with a metropolitan organisation . The Hellenes had their sacred groves ; Englishmen' have their parks , which in another
sense they hold to be every inch sacred ground . They look confidently on these verdant expanses as a property set apart for ever , an inheritance of health , beauty , and innocent enjoyment to their children ' s children . It is now said that the proposal—made in Parliament last session , ' and then understood to be abandoned—to cut off and enclose a large portion of St . James ' s-park is in progress of being carried into effect ! This noble garden was solemnly made over to the public—it is maintained at the public expense—no whisper has been uttered against the order , care , and abstinence which'have marked the behaviour of those who use it . Every Bne Sunday it is said that 50 , 000 persons , from the close and crowded courts and alleys of the city , spend the greater part of the day among its pleawith
sant haunts—keep up here their alliance Nature—take moral lessons from the scent and hue of flowers and the song of birds , and treasures of health from the free breeze . Of this reservoir of many of the beneficent agencies tbat the people have needed so long , and now use so harmlessly , it would seem that they are now about to be to a . great extent deprived . We trust the Minister wil not commit tho Queen and her people to a quarrel on such a point . The public cannot afford to lose a yard of this park . There is bo wise government which takes on itself to sequester any part of it in the absence of Parliament . It is well to speak plainly , because authority is just now coquetting offensively with the park at Eichmond . There is something especially ungracious in the circumstance that these encroachments are made under the sanction of a statesman who is not only lodged in town
at the public charge , but occupies gratuitously a house and groundslielongihg to the nation situate in one of our beautiful parks . —Athenceum , Haynau . —The following inscription may be seen chalked upon a wall at Bankside , in the neighbourhood of Barclay and Perkins' brewery : — " Near this spot , in the arms of tho police , and covered with dirt , fell General Haynau , 4 th Sept . ; l ° oV . The very stones do prate of his whereabout . '

Inn enormous gun of Beejapore , one of the greatest trophies of the Mahrattawar , is expected to arrive in England in the course of next month , and is toforni a prominent object in the'Industrial Exhibition . It is cast entirely of brass , and weighs fortyone tons . Exhibition of 18 ol .- * The Nacionnl , Lisbon paper , states that nothing will be sent from Portugal to the General Exhibition of Industry ; and this remains uncontradicted by tho other papers . ' As Portugal had a national exhibition last year , this seems the more surprising . The Standard Bearer . —A Fablk . —A standard bearer was sent out to raise the inhabitants of a
certain town . As he ran through the streets , he dragged the standard behind him , so tbat it trailed in the mud ; and a rabble of boys and dirty -vagabonds ran after him trampling upon it . After a while he turned round to see who followed him .. Looking upon the rabble and upon the torn and dirtied standard , he was about to revile the town ' s-people , when one of them advised him after this fashion : — " The next time you are appointed to carry a banner , bear it heavenward , that the sun may shine upon it , and the pure winds float it over our heads , that we may read the motto upon it . - When you trail it through the mud , you disgrace the cause whose servant you would call yourself , and no upright man can read your message . "—M M . :. Another Sinecure . —The offices of ranger and keeper of St . James ' s Park and Hyde Park , vacant by the death of the late Duke of Cambridge , have been bestowed upon the Duke of Wellington .
The Railway Kino . — A shrewd Northumbrian farmer , who has a race-horse , which ; until lately ; was called the Railway King , has , in consequence oi recent occurrences , changed his name to Beggar-my-Neighbour . —Sunderland Herald . ¦ \ Lush Labourers . —A respectable farmer stated to us ( Waterford News ) this week , that he is acquainted with farmers who have labourers employed at the nmnificient sum of sevenpence per week , and their diet ; and others have offered to work for their diet alone .
Sm R . Peel ' s Originality . —Blackwood , in his number for September , demolishes one of Sir Robert Peel ' s pretensions to originality . Everybody thought that the . famdus saying , " The battle of the constitu- ' tionis to be fought in . tho registration courts , " was Sir Robert ' s 5 but it is now shown that the p hrase was printed in large capitals , in the . periodical ( of which the statesman was a regular reader ) in the month of May before he uttered it ! ^ " Pig-tail . "—An acute arithmetician , lias calculated that , if all the tobacco consumed in Great Britain in' one year had been worked into " pig-tail , " half an inch thick , it would have formed a line ninetynine thousand four hundred and seventy miles long ; enough to girdle the world nearly four times !
Lar go Law has a venerable inhabitant of eightysix ; the mother of thirteen sons and daughters , who have seventy-three children and nine grandchildren . She boasts . thatshe . has sent ofF . eleven daughters , each with a heavy two-horse cartful of household furniture and household gear , and never found herself the poorer . Animal Cunning , —A farmer in the North discovered that"a fox came along a beam in the night to seize his poultry . lie accordingly sawed the end" of tho beam nearly through , and in the night the fox fell into a place whence he could not escape . On going to him in the morning , the farmer found him stiff , and , as he thought , lifeless ; Taking him out of the building , he threw him on the dunghill , but in a short time Reynard opened his eyes , and seeing
that all was safe and clear , gallopped away to the mountain , showing more cunning than the man who ensnared him . ' The House Fly . —A Avon tho wing is no less curious ah object than one on foot ; yet when dowe trouble our heads about it , except as a thing which troubles us ? The most obvious wonder of its night is its variety of direction , most usuall y forwards , with its back like . a . bird ; but on occasions backwards , with its back downwards , as when starting from the window and alighting oil the ceiling . Marvellous velocity is another of its characteristics . By fair comparison of sizes , what is the swiftness of a race-horse clearing his mile a minute , to the speed of a fly cutting through her third of the same distance in the same time !
Tub Human Race . —The usual estimates of the population Of the globe vary from eight hundred to a thousand millions ; and taking the mean , the human family would seem to be distributed among the races in something like the ' , following proportions : —The White , 350 , 000 , 000 ; the Mongolian , 300 , 000 , 000 ; the Malajan , 120 . 000 , 000 ; theTeliugan , 60 , 000 , 000 ; the Negro , 55 , 000 , 000 ; the Ethiopian , 5 , 000 , 000 ; the Abyssinian , 3 , 000 , 000 ; tho faptuin , 3 , 000 , 000 ; the Negrillo , 3 , 000 , 000 ; the Australian , 500 , 000 ; the Hottentot , 500 , 000 . Crdelties of Haynau . —The traveller in mountainous regions often stands rhthe edge of an abyss so deep , and dark , and fearful , that he shudders to look down into the chasm , With a similar feeling humanity recoils before tho character of this Haynau , scarcely daring to cast a glance into its depths , so frightful is every outward and visible manifestation
ot the influences there at' work . Hardly had he received the command , hardly had he time to muster his forces , reconnoitre the ground upon which he wasto begin the war in earnest , hardly had he issued a single order of the day , when already two sentences of death had received his signature . Baron Med- ! nianski died on the gallows , and with him Grubcr , on ; the 5 th of June , at Prcssburg , The former as commandant , and the latter as artilleryman , bad taken an active part in the defence of Leopoldstadt . A cry of horror rang through the whole empire , a wild pry of revenge echoed through Hungary , when people saw the manner in which Haynau passed sentence on the prisoners of war ; and , hardly had the pale look of horror disappeared from men's countenances , when the sentence of death was passed and executed ( June 18 th ) on the priest Razga . ; In vain had the citizens of Pressburg supplicated mercy for this universally honoured man , -, he was doomed to the gallows , aud
