Tur China Ma and its solitary reader will not be indulged with the degrading spectacle which that journal anticipated with such ghoulish brutality in its issue of November 27th.

have had the capital sentence commuted by the Executive Council into penal servitude for life-a sentence far more in keeping with the character of the crime of which they were found guilty. We venture to think that the decision arrived at by the Executive Council will give all but universal satisfaction, the feeling of the public having been very strong against the infliction of the extreme penalty of the law in a case which, to use the expression of Mr. E. ROBINSON, the counsel, for the prisoners, "bristled with doubt."
