Monti and Toitnettl fiulllwllneil Ilorrl- R:mc(Nov. 21) Cbrrcijon6;nc London Herald. Monti and Tognottl were executed at 7 A. M. to-day. Almost no to the lam raombnt hopes wore entertained that the Uvea or the prisoners wrcld be spared, but these were dispelled at noon yesterday by the appearance of lhefuo loni. These are wooden boards which are placed ailhe corners of the street, and Inscribed with tbe names, ages, and descriptions of tbe con demned men, tbe place and hour of their exe cution, and also an Invitation to the faltbful to meet in certain churches and there recite prayers for the dying. The condemned were two working masons, t-ed respectively 23 and 8:1. One of them leaves behind him a widow and five children. The scaffold was erected during lant night. A large .number of people were present at the execu tion, but were kept some distance from tbe .guillotine by the troops who were on guard. These consisted of a battalion of X uaves, some troops of the line, some dragoons, and also snjne mounted gendarmes, who galloped about and kept a clear space in front ol the sealfold. At 5 o'clock the executioner ana the priests Went to the condemned men and they were con ducted to the Uonforteria, or the chapel, where, according to custom, they received the last consolations of religion. Exactly at 7 A. M. the brethren of Mlnerlcorde lel t the Cuurch of 8t. John the Heheaded and proceeded to the Con . forlerla, which they entered. In about ten minutes they reappeared conducting the elder of the condemned men. The executioner marched in froDt, A brother of the Mlserlcorde held acrucilU iu front of the erlsocer, whose arms weie tied behind his aok, and who was supported by hi confessor. The executioner first ascended the Bcallold, and gave a glance round to see that everything was In order; he wus almost Immediately fol lowed by the ondenied, who appeared very weak, and kept repentlne "Alisericordo." Almost immediately afterwards the head fell. Lifting the dissevered head by the tnir, the exe cutioner showed It to the troops, aud then placed It on the rcHlTold beside the body, which his assistants had taken olf the plank. He then wiped the knife with a sponge, and raised it to its former position, while his assistants threw sawdust upon the pools of blood which trickled through the woodwork of the scallold. After that came the loi n of the younger criminal. Again the brethren of the Mlserlcorde entered the (Jonforlerla. The unfortunate criminal, who was In a very excited state, begged for mercy. The confes sors tried to calm him, but in vain, and at lust he whs led forth, a white cloth having been thrown over his bead In order that he should not see the body of his companion. His sobs and cries were barely audible, he could scarcely stiS'aiu himself, and in a tremulous voice kept repeating Misericorde. The priest assisted him to mount the steps of the soallold, aud gave him absolution while the assistants were biud Ing him to the fatal plank. Even at the knife descended, the cry of Minrricorde rent the morning air. The executioner showed the head to the troops as he had done the first, and then tbe bodies were placed on a curt and carried to tbe Ohuroh of St. John the Beheaded. The priest remained upon the scaffold, and made an address to the people.. Tho executioner threw a Ruck of sawdust over tha blood of the criminals, and then descended from the scaffold and disappeared, aud Immediately afterwards the troops returned to their barracks. The poo pie remained very quietly, and alter the depar ts e of the troops col'ected around the guillo tine, which was not removed until the evening, and guarded by a picket of soldiers, until at last they gradually dispersed. Iiidiifuntloii aswl Kxcitciucut. Some Correspondence Paris Tempt. The impression produced by the execution at Koine of the two young meu who blew up l'ie 8trrlstorl barracks Is profound here. Ouo of them, thiily-threa years old, was father of a fumily: the other, aged twenty -une, was a niHhou's luboier. They were nothing but In struments in tue hands of otUers. For that, reason the Pope, it was hoped, might extend his clemency. Tue Italians nutnrally take luto account only their own feelings, and do not th'nk of the twelve innocent soluiei'8 killed by the explosion, nor the rebentment felt by the Papal army. These two wretched men I hey have elevated into patriotism. The TJirttto calls them "noble heads," fallen victims to tue purest love or their country. Erom this, Judge what the Jtijurma and other journals say. Their fate created a lively interest among the advanced party at Naples, in this city, in Milan, and elsewhere. The Pope, It was thought, from prudence, pity, or yielding to the Intercession of France, aud especially of Prussia, would not sanction the execution. The Intelligence of that event excited much emotion In the cues of Florence and In the lobbies of tbe Chamber of Deputies. Notwithstanding the three millions recently sent, and Indeed precisely In consequence of that remittance in spite of tbe two confidential missions, etc., the Meuabrea ministry has not been able to obtain a single word of approval. Those who are most Irritated allege that if the Marquis do liannevllle bad blraply expressed a wish, tbe execution would cothave taken place, and that he abstained from doing so. I doubt whether his Instructions provided for this case. Hut as you know for adversaries every weapon Is good, I bear in reference to this event, heart felt maledictions more violent than ever against Paris. This execu Ion will serve the Iitilt as u arm against M. Meuabrea. SPAIN. 'J lie I'roviNlonul Jovorimieiit Fore warueiiand loreai-mctlj A circular of Honor Sagosta has been pub lisbd stating that tbe Government, while resolved to defend the cause of the revolution, Is, at the ame time, equally resolved to main tain thecredlt of the country and the future liberty and dignity ol Spain. It Is determined to overcome all obslucles which may hinder the attainment of that patriotic otjec. The civil goveruois are, therefore, recommended to be on ttelr guaid against reactionary mameuvres, tbe object of which is to cause partial disturb ances, or to break up orderly pu'ilic meeting, In tbe hope that the Government may thereby be Induced to deprive tbe clll.eus of the right to hold them. The circular adds: "In this the reactionists deceive themselves. Tbe civil Governors have the means to prose cute and punish all such criminal manoeuvres without having to overstep the bounds pre scribed by existing laws. The Governors must warn the people that the demagogues who thus attempt to unsettle affairs are nothing but agents of the two liourbou branches. Under all circumstances, the Provisional Government lias resolved boldly to pursue the path of liberty, and to guarantee order, and punish all who may make tbe slightest attempt azalust the rights which the country has achieved." Interview with Ueueritl I'rliu. Pari (Nov. 30) Cvrres. London Dally Newt. Tbe Oaulois, which in the early stages of the Spanish revolution received beyond all doubt exoluslve Information from General Prim, has to-day some information from 1U special cor respondent at Madrid, M. Augel de Miranda, Which I believe to be antheutlo. His letter, dated Madrid, November 2M, ssys that he had au Interview with Prim on November 27, aud that the General used the following words: "I authorize you to declare that I have not, KEd never shall nave, any politlooi-relatl'ms with t.'fie Honrbons of any branch whatever. I did riot take ptsrl In a revolution the first cry r.l which proclaimed the downfall of that fatal dynasty, to stultify myself a lew days later. I will never be the Instrument or the protector of a royal family which has been a curse to my country." Vhrtor tin Write Another Let ten Several republican committees in Spain have written to Victor Hugo, thanking h'.m for the letter recently published, in which he urged the Hpanlsh people to establish a republic In the place of tbe monarchy which has been over thrown. Tuey.at tbe same time, ask him to assist the movement for tbe abolition of slavery which Is now on foot lu Spain. In reply to thU appeal, Victor Hugo hns addressed a second letter to the Hpanlsh people, dated November He is of opinion, he says in it, that aboli tion, and Immediate abolition, Is the duly of the country. What England did In 1838 and Franoe in ISIS, he thinks Hpaln ought to do In INKS. It would bean anomaly, after tyranny has been over thrown at borne, to retain slavery abroad. M. Hugo tben dwells upon the degrading lnlluencs ol the institution, not only upou the slave but upon tbe roaster, the yoke pressing, perhaps, more heavily upon the latter than the former by the Intellectual and moral deterioration It carries with It. In conclusion, he calls upon the (Spanish people to accomplish their "second liberation." "You have freed yourselves from drspotlNrn," he bays; "now free yourself from slavery." ENGLAND. Itevordy JoluiNoia and (lie American 1'renn, From the Pall Mall Gazette, Dec. 2. A long letter from the London correspondent of the New York Tribune appeared In a contem porary yesterday with regard to Mr. Johnsou's recent speeches. The writer seeks to prove that Mr. Johnson lias given great olTense in his own country by bis cordial tone aud friendly ex pressions towards England. There Is truth lu this, but the proof now adduced Is nearly all from sou ices bitterly antagonistic to Mr. Johnson. The Tribune hates England and has no affec tion for the present Minister. The other papers quoted by tbe correspondent, exoept the Times and tbe Notion, are all notorious for t he vio lence of their anti-English prejudices. Extracts from the 'Jribune prove nothing, but it is now pest all doubt that Mr. Johnson has not satis fied all classes of his countrymen by consent ing to meet Mr. Laird and other similar acts. It was foreseen that much complaint would be tbe result, and probably Mr. Johnson knew that it would enme. lie has. however, done his duty according to his view ol an American Minister's duty In the present relations between the two countries, and assuredly he is not the sort of man to be frightened by the abuse of the Tribune. He has bad to bear with that for a good many years past, and we doubt whether our climate has in juriously u dec ted bis nerves. Mr. Keverdy Johnson evidently decided on his course after due deliberation, and If his Government does not like that course ho will not be left to gather Its opinion from tbe dogtuatlo assertions of newspaper corre-rondeuts. TEE LEGAL TENDERS. Oflielnl Opinion ol the l-UVctof a Koiicul ol the Lietral-teudcr Act. Tr.KA.srRY op tub United States, Wash ington, ! c. 11. Sir; Your proposition to "re peal the Eegal-tendor act in.iianlcr" Is simply the enactment of a law to compel the Immedi ate resumption of specie payments on the part ol the Government, tbe banks, and the people. Are the poorer sections of the country prepared lor this? Think of it The Government has of its own over gtoO.OOO.OOU or outstanding liabili ties tbnt aru overdue. It is the ludorser of the whole Issue of the circulating notes of all the national banks, amounting to 330(1,000,000 more. Tben bear In mind that these bauks owe their depositors some 4000,000 000 more. Here you have an aggregate of H,000,000,000 of debts, Im mediately due and payable in coin, for all of which the Government would have to stand tbe brunt. The Government hns soy $SS,000,000 in gold In Its vaults, nr about 6 per cent, of the indebted ness. Y'ou will toy: T ue "Government need but care for Itself; it has nothiug to do with the debts of the National Iiauks." Well, let's see how this is: If one of these banks falls la pay its deposits on call, It of course falls to pay its circulating notes, on the happening of which the Controller ol the Currency puts the dhdic in the bauds of a Kecelvcr, and the Treasury of the United Btates immdlately becomes, In etlect, tue maker of the notes of such bank, aud is oy law compeneu to roueeru tnetn. Few banks could stand such a slate of minus, in their present condition, for a single day, aud the inevitable result would be that the banks. the business men, and the credit of the Govern ment would go to perdltlou together. However desirable tne return to specie pay ments may be, we should make haste to aco mu pliishitslouTy.it we would make It sure and permanent. Failures would be fatal. Toapply the rule to "all future contracts" would not be quite f o bad, but it Is to a degree liable to the same objections, and, besides, it would strike every kind of business with paralysis. All jour alter reasoning seems to me to oe per fectly sound. We agree lu all but the mode by which the desired good is to bo attained. We should not be too lmnatieut. The world was not made in a dHy. Neither can we pay a debt of f l.OtO.ooO.oOO In gold 'instauter." We should, however, at once set ourselves about preparing the wny over which we may soon pass, la per fect salety, to the promised land t ti sit shtll now, not wiin miiK una noney, nut witn gold and silver. Your oiher proposition, "that all the currency contracts now In force should be converted lnlo snecle or Us equivalent, when due. siv at seventy-five cents ou the dollar," Is objection able, because It might possibly be decided to be unconstitutional, in mat luni it would "lmpur the obligation of contracts." True, not more so than tbe present law. that mukes somethlufz else than "gold and sliver coin a tender in pay ment of debts." But that was enacted lu a time of great peril, which has now passed. Hoping that tbe action of Congress will be such as to be satisfactory to all right-thinking mtn, l am, very respecuuiiy, yours, F. E. Spinner. David Wilder, Esq., Iior.ton, Mass. S1L0UKIXU OCCUKKEME. A Man Mounted to Death lu Wilmlugtoii. The Wilmington (Uel.) Commercial of yester day contains the loliowlng: A man named John Drill came to his death on Saturday night under the most horrlole cir cumstances, having ben literally roasted alive. He was a workman at J. V. Rice &. Co.'s Phoenix iron Foundry, where he has bjeu em ployed seven or eight years. He has been a steady, Industrious man, and not muoh ad dicted to drink, except that In would occasion ally go on a spree on Saturday nights. He had charge of the stable and or tbe foundry, carry ing the keys. Ou Saturday night a number ol men were employed about tue foundry later than usual, getting olf some work that had to be finished that night. At about quarter before 10 o'clock brill started with tbe wagon to take Rome castings down to tbe Diamond Stale rolling mill. He had been drinking some, and a man who went with him testified that they took a drink together there. T hat was the last those about the foundry saw of deceased, but he must have relumed aud put the team away, as It wus found all right next morning. At about quarter before II deceased went to Itoblnson's restaurant, near the foun dry, where he got something to eat. He staid there till about quarter after 11, and then went out with a man, lo whom he stood talking until 12 o'clock; he remarked that he thought he saw a light In the foundry, and would go aud see what it was. That was the last that was seen or him until his children went lu the foundry on Sunday morning to hunt him, aud found his burning body, They ran for tho foreman, Mr. Varvey, who went down to the foundry Immediately, and found Brill's body lying in the trench, and against a red hot casting, the body In a blaze, and one leg partly burned off, bo that there was no sign whatever of the lower part of It except the sole of his lioot. This trench bad been dug tbe night be fore around the rim or a large By-wUeel, Just cast, bo as to ex pose it to the air and let it cool fast. Deceased knew the wheel was there, and saw the trench being dug, aud how he ever got into the trench with one aide pressed up auulnst the red-hot Iron Is a mystery. Though he had been drinking, he does not appeur to have been so drunk us to be unable to control bis own movements, while he was so familiar with tbe foundry that he could go about It at night without a lamp. The affair is as mysterious as It is horrible. The body, burned out of all semblanoe to bunnnlty almost, was taken to the deceased's residence. The Coroner held an Inquest on 11, but ellolted no facts beyond those stated, llrltt was a native of Ireland, has lived In this country several years, and leaves a wife and a number or small children, who were dependent on him for support. His wife and seven children are left in Indigent clrcnmstances, and are proper subjects for charity as well as sympathy. An effort will be made to raise funds for their assistance, and persons desiring to aid them may leave money at this olllce. It will be placed in the hands of Mr. lUce to be used for that purpose. AUSTRALIA.' (nniilhnllnm on the Noloinon tJroup St nniHii Murderi-d JViiicifclM of iold. The most recent arrival from tills far-otr laud brings us some important and Interesting advices. THE OOLD MINES. Melbourne (Oct. 81) correspondence says: "Home very big nuggets have been turned up during the past mouth. At Oympie, in liueeus land, a 700 ounce unirget. was taken out ol the Golden-Bar claim, 1W ounces of dust being also obtained in the course of a couple of days. At Berlin, near Inglewood, in this colony, one man obtained In a couple of days 4S0 ounces, comprising one nugget of 280 ounces, and a number of suial er ones. At the satno Held two nnggets, weighing respectively 22i ounces und 175 ounces have also been discovered." 1UNISHINU THE CANN1UAI.3. Advices from Sydney, Nov. 2, state that the British steamer Blanche has returned from a cruise among the South Sea Islands, where she was despatched from this port ou the 18th August last to punish the natives of It mdova Bay for tho murder and eaaug of the master and crew of the Sydney barque Marian Kenny. She arrived at the Solomon Group on the 5th September, and on tbe 11th anchored In H ju dova Bay. The natives mustered In canons in strong foice, but abandoned the place before the crew of tbe Blanche were able to get ner enough to lire at them. The village at the he id ol the bay was then shelled from, the ship, aud Boon destroyed. A party or sixty men landed, and after searching among tbe ruins found a hut, con taining twenty-six human skulls, tl ve of which were evidently those of white men. A quan tity ot ship stores, such as paints, oils, etc., was also discovered. A number of very flue canoes were necessarily left by the natives on the beach, and these were also destroyed. The Blanche then returned to Sydney, calling at New Caledonia. It Is hoped t hat tbe lessou she has administered tc the natives at Bondova bay will produce a salutary eireot among the other inhabitants of the Solomon group, who are bp no means so friendly as might be de sired. inr. loss of the schooser uarmon, Ktlluble information has been received as to the fate of the Australian schooner Haruiou, which left the port of Eevuka, Foejee Islands, lor tbe Line Islands, about ten months since, with the purpose ol" getting a cargo of native laborers. The Harmon seems to have called at Hudson's Island, one of the Elise group, and while there the captain and crew, numbering in all eight men, were murdered and eaten by tbe natives. Measures will soon be taken for avenging this horrib'.e crime, Captain Daly, formerly commander of the Spec, a small vessel engagedu the South Sea Island trade, has been brought on to Feejee by tbe Nymph, the same vessel which brought ou the news of the murder of the crew ot the Har mon. The captain got separated fiom his ship, aud gives the following Interesting account of his adventures: "While cruising among tho Islands collectlug a cargo or cocoanul oil, we put in towards Hpelden Island, and I left the ship In a boat manned by five Sandwich men in order to laud a raft of oil casks at our oil depot on the island. The male wus lelt in charge of the vessel; the sea wus rough, nnd the ship being along way from shore, darkness overtook us balore making laud, mtd after the most strenuous ex. irtlons to reuoh the shore we were c unpolled lo cut the casks adrift and try to regain the ship. As, however, it was by this time quite dark, we steered iu the wrong directiou, and got a long way to leeward of both vessel and island, pud after beating about all night we found, when the daylight came, that our boat was fairly out at sea, with neither ship nor land iu sight. Under these circumstances I laid a course for the nearest island to leeward of us (St. Augustine's), aud reached therein five days, almost starved to death, having had nothing lo eat siuce parting fiom the ship. Unmaking laud we found a large number of natives ou the bench, who would not follow us to go ashore until they held a council of war as to what was to be done with us. But we were ultimately handed over to au old cblet who had first sighted our boat, and who had generously declared to bis country, men that if they Killed us, as they wauted lo do, they must first kill him. This old chief behaved nobly, aud provided for us during tho whole time of our nine months' stay on st. Augustine's. Unfortunately I fell sick of the measles, nnd tbe disease spread like wilatire emoug the natives, no less than 800 of them liyingof it. Strange tosny, the natives brought each con se and laid it down lu trout ot me before making away with it, aud from that time until I lelt tbe Island the natives feared me us a spirit who had the power of Inflicting disease and death upon them. It was a day or rejoicing among the people when Captain Fuller of the schoonerlNymph, having heard ata neighboring island or a white man being at St. Augustine's, came and took me olf with my boat's crew of Sandwich Islanders."

After some time tbe engagement was broken oil, and the plaintiff ihcn went to New Westminster, lu British Columbia. While there a correspondence was opened be tween him aud Miss Smith, which led to a renewal of the marriage engagement. The letters that passed were olihe most ailectiouatc cutuacler, aud prophesied tbe happiness the parties would enjoy when the engauoment was ratified. In August. 1807, the platnlill sold off his farm In Columbia to come home to get married. When he reached Canada a let ter awaited hltn from Miss Smith, staling that she could not really love him, that the supposed affection was a mistake, and that the engagement must be broken olf. Sue shortly afterwards married Mr. Kowlaud, who wrote to the plaintiff stating that be had long possessed the alfuctlous of the young ludy. The letters between the parties weiereadto the Jury, and the injury to the plaintiff by the lady's recession from her en gagement commented on. It was alleged that tbe plaintiff disposed of his farm aud left Columbia only because he expected to mrry the defendant. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff damages two hundred pounds. MOLLY MAGUIRES. Organized AnmumnIum iu Maryland. The Cumberland ( Ma.) correspondence of the Baltimore imerfcari,ln speaking ot the murder ot Douglass L ve on Friday last, says: "There Is a theory generally entertained In this community as to this murder whlou may or may not be correct, but nevertuelessit may be as well to slate It bilelly. There is known to exist among a certalu portion of tbe miners in this region a secret society called the 'Molly Magulres,' one of whose laws, It la said, fully recognizes the atrocious crime oflassasslnatlon. If a man renders himself obnoxious lo this clan he receives a 'warning,' and If be persists, tbe question of his life ordeatli Is put lo vote thus: 'Shall live?' If the vote be 'no,' lota are drawn, and out of the whole num ber drawing, two will receive the fatal tot, who, by the terms of their oath of membership, are sworn to keep the fact secret from their fellow members, and to proceed toaooompllsh tne foul deed speedily, or themselves lnour the same fate. lutiullely horrible as the idea of suon an orgrnlgatlon may seem to be, it la neverthe less confidently believed by many that it was by such a mode as this that the assassination of Douglass Love was accomplished. Ills be lieved that the murderer belonged to other mines than the one over which the vlotlm pre sided. The fact that many men supposed to have belonged to this society bad from time to failed, from some reason or other, to obtain employment from Love, Is supposed to have drawn down upou him the vengeance of the m nrderous clan."
