that sentence should be carried into affect is another question, pot of law, but of policy, and to be answered only on considerations going far beyond the Immediate offence and its direct conse- quences. The main object of punishment is to prevent the recurrence of such offences, and the probabilities of any such recurrence have to be taken into account. Pabile opinion is a very serious factor in the computation, and if the carrying into execution of any sentence is likely to excite sympathy for the sufferers and feelings of anger and disgust against the Government, Instead of that wholesome terror which, when justice is properly and In due measure administered, it ought to excite, then to inflict the death penalty is to Invite to the commission of similar ASPBERRYADE, &c. offences instead of deterring from them.

Independence. The English Government 1427 may be unable to interfere or to act with effect. It is difficult to see how it could, under the circumstances, make it a cause of quarrel that a sentence legally right and Justified by its own laws had been allowed to be carried out, It is clear from Mr. CHAMBERLAIN'S communication to the Boer President that when be assured the House of Commons that the lives of the prisoners were safe he had no promise or engagement with the Transvaal Government to that effect, only vague hopes that the Boers would keep their ears open to the dictates of reason and of common sense. When our Government compelled the Reform Leaders to throw down their arms, ample security should have been taken for the lives of the disarmed and helpless merk That has not been done, and Great Britain is reduced to pleading for the lives of her subjects Instead of being in a position to protect them. But if these men, or even one of them, die by the hands of the executioner Englishmen throughout the civilized world will neither forget nor forgive, and the hatred and dislike of the Boer and of their republic, now strong and active in almost every British resident in South Africa, will intensify ten thousand fold and will never be satisfied but with their conquest and practical extirpation. They will lose, too, In a very large measure, the sympathy and friendship of the Africander element in the population of the Cape, now strongly excited in their favour by the mad folly of JAMESON's unprovoked attack. Most of us, when we read yesterday's message to the effect that the Reform Leaders had pleaded guilty, assumed of course that this was done in accordance with some pre-arrange- ment with the Boer Government, and to en- ableit to formally vindicate before the world Its sovereign status and Its just rights over all dwellers within Its territories, and that some moderate sentence which, while meeting the justice of the case, could excite no angry feelings would follow the verdict. We still have hopes that it is part of the programme that a commutation of the death sentence pronounced may follow, but it is ominous that while we learn of the modification of the sentence on the American, Hammond, there is no similar announcement with reference to the English prisoners and from CHAMBER LAIN's message no certainty of it. We can only wait and watch, but again we repeat that if Robes and his companions dies their deaths will mark the commencement of the end for the Boer state and the Boer people,
