chambre de la toilette they were placed at differ
ent extremeties of it, with their backs turned to
each other. There wore tw. assistant execu
tioners—one from Rouen, other from Caen
—besides him of Paris. These lost no time in
preparing the convicts for the scaffold. Daring
the dreadful operation Orsini remained calm;
aud, though he was not so loud or contradictory
as during his trial, Pierri eras somewhat excited.
The straight-waistcoat interfered with his ges
ticulations, but he 'hardly ceased talking for a
moment. When the executioner was pinioning
him he asked that the fastenings should not b
drawn too tight, as he had no intention of escap
ing. The cold touch of the steel on his neck
when the scissors cut off his hair, so as not to
interfere with the guillotine, for an instant ap-
peered to thrill through him; but he recovered
himself when he found that his beard was left
untouched. He thanked the executioner for let-
ting. him die with his face as became a man
When the hood, to which the veil which covers
the features of the parricide is suspended, was
put over his head, ho is said to have laughed,
and attempted a joke about the figure he must
cut. At this moment he turned his heed and
perceived Orsini; he saluted him gaily, and
asked how he was getting on He was inter
rupted by Orsini, who was himself undergoing
the same operation with the same sang froid
as if he were under -the hands of a valet
dressing for a party, with the words, " Be cairn,
be 'Salm, my friend " Pierri's tongue ran on,
however. The assistant proceeded to strip him
of his shoes, for in pursuance of the sentence
they were to proceed to the scaffold barefooted.
The man appeared to hesitate, but Pierri encour
aged him to proceed, and assisted him as much
- as he could, still talking. The operation being
over, and the toilette complete, he turned towards
the turnkey, and asked to be allowed to embrace
him. This request was complied with. The
moment of moving now came, and the Abbe Hu
gon cried out "Courage I" "Oh ! I am not
afraid—l am not afraid," he said, "we are going
to Calvary," and in a sort of feverish excitement,
he repeated to himself "Calvary, Calvary."
Orsini was, on the other hand, as calm and
tranquil as his fellow-convict was excited. He
spoke little ; but when the governor of the pri
son and some of the officers approached him, he
bade them in a low tone of voice, farewell. The
turnkey of his cell announced to him in a tone
of regret that his last moment was come. Orr.itii
thanked him for his sympathy. Hie hair was
also out away from his neck, but, he underwent
the operation without flinching. At the moment
when the hood was put on his head, his face,
which up to that moment was calm and impas
sable, became flushed for a moment and his eyes
lighted up.
. The prison clock struck seven ; before the last
sound died away, the door leading to the scaffold
opened as of itself. The Abbe Hugon entreated
Pierri to profit by the few moments still left to
orlect his thoughts, and assume a calmer atti
. tude. He promised to - be calm, and said he
should chant a patriotic hymn ; and it is said ho
actually began to sing the well known "Hour&
pour la Patrie." Leaning on the Abbe Hugon,
he mounted fifteen steps of the scaffold, still re
peating the verses of the song.
.Orsini was supported by the chaplain of the
COnciergerie, and his calmness never deserted
him fora moment. When he appeared on the
platform it could be seen, from the movement
- of hie body and of his head, though covered
with the veil, that he was looking out for the
crowd, and probably intended addressing them.
Bat they were too far off. The greffier then di
rected the usher to read the sentence of the
°Our, condemning the prisoners to the death of
parricides. The usher, who was an old man,
over sixty, was evidently much moved at having
to peform this duty, and he trembled as much
from emotion as from cold as he read the docu
ment, which no one listened to.
After this formality was terminated, Orsini and
Pierri embraced their spiritual attendants, and
pressed their lips on the ornoifix offered to them.
'They then gave themselves up to the headsman.
Pierri was attached to the plank in an instant.
He was executed first. The moment his veil was
raised, and before his head was laid on the block,
it is affirmed that he cried "Vice Vine
la Republique."
Orsini was then taken in hand. His veil was
raised, and his countenance still betrayed no
, emotion. Before he was fastened to the plank
he turned in the direction of the distant crowd,
and, it is said, cried "Vies le France." It was
but five minutes past seven when the second head
fell into the basket. A cold shudder ran among
those whose attenti*.n was fixed upon what was
passing on the scaffold, and for an instant there
was deep silence. It passed off, however, very
soon. When all was over, men wont to their
work, and parties who had gone together to the
spot from distant quarters of the town hastened
home to breakfast. The morning was becoming
clearer every rpoment. The troops began to
move as if about' to leave the ground. •The guil
lotine was lowered and taken off. The crowds
gradually thinned; some few groups still lin
gered about the spot ; but the cold was, bitter,
and the snow began to fall, and in a few hours
the place was deserted.
The number of deaths from the attempt fur
which these wretched men suffered now amounts,
I am assured, to fourteeu.
I am just informed that de Rudio is to he sent
to Luuduu to give evidence against. Ber:iard.

AN ERROL/ Or.n. THE. GIAZEITTR.'.I
The Post permits itslf, without knowing any
thing about the facts, to say that the informal
meeting of the Senate appointed to be held to
night on the subject of the Tonnage Tax, was
brought abput by the Pittsburgh Board of Tr::de.
Nothing could be more unwarranted. —Gazette
We did not permit ourselves to say any
thing of the kind. We said that "a commu
nication from Senator Gaznam informed those
present" [at the meeting of the Board of
Trade] "that an informal meeting'of the Sen
ate is proposed to be held, on Wednesday, to
hear outside argamelts ,& a." The Gazette ut.
terly misrepresents us in this matter. We
never imagined that the Board of Trade had
anything to de in getting up this informal
meeting, and we never said they had. We
cannot suppose that the editor ,of the Gazett e
has read our article of Tuesday,but has taken
for the ground work of his paragraph, from
which we make the above quotation, the ass
Elution of some one who has chosen, for his
own purposes, grossly to misrepresent our re

article, and make the correction to'which it
will see we are entitled.
TIIV.I CONDITION OP PrIEXICO.
Not only at Washington, but all over the
country, the present unhappy condition of the
Mexican republic is exciting attention, and
many believe that a crisis is approaching in
her affairs, when it will be the duty of the
United States Government to assume such a
position towards our sister republic as will
prevent her from again becoming the prey of
despotic influences at home, or being made the
football of European schemes and tyranny. ---
A correspondent of the Pennsylvanian, writ
ing from Washington,saya "that it is probable
that Mexico is even now so divided that she
can never be united under one government
again. Some of the northern provinces have
declared themselves a separate republic ;
schemes are in progress for wresting other
portions from the hands of her military des..
pots by means of American colonization ; and
more than one State is ready and anxious to
unite its destiny to our confederacy. Under
all these circumstances, we should purse a
prudent and firm policy towards her, and such
have•no doubt, is the President's determi
nation. An able and far seeing statesman
will be sent to Mexico to represent our Gov
ernment there, std the next twelve months
may witness great changes in the political as
pect of this continent."
WORTHILY BESTOWED.
It always gives us pleasure to record acts
of disinterested benevolence, and when such
an act is made beneficial in advancing a
praiseworthy spirit of emulation among the
young to acquire such useful knowledge as
will make them good citizens, it is deserving
of especial note.
Sometime since, Mr. P. Kane, merchant
tailor, of Liberty street, offerrd a suit of
clothes as a prize to the lad in St. Paul's
School who by a certain time should be able
to repeat most correctly and acceptably the
Declaration of Independence. The trial came
off a short time since, and Master Johnny Mc-
Gaire, a lad of eleven years, the son of a wid
ow, was the successful competitor for the
prize. Master Michael Connolly, son of Mr.
Martin Connolly, Master James Kelly, of the
Ninth Ward, and Master John O'Connor, of
the Fifth Ward, as well as Master McGuire,
repeated the entire Declaration in admirable
style, and as the four were equally victorious,
they drew lots for the prize, which was won
by young McGuire, as above stated.
The St. Paul's School is under the charge of
the Franiiiscan Brothers, and it is one of the
most admirably conducted institutions in our
city, for the education of the children and
youth.
We were present at the recitation; and were
much gratified with the manner in which the
school is conducted in all its depaetaatents.
According to the arrangements of the War
Department, there will be, by the Ist of July
next,about five thousand•troops in Utah to op
erate against the rebels of Brigham Young.
About two thousand of these will be cavalry,
the balance artillery and infantry. The Qom
missary and Quartermaster's Departments are
said to be very efficiently organized ;. and
everything has been arranged on such a scale
as to convince the Mormons that resistance
on their part. will be the worst species of
folly.

DAMS' U Lldla RE-CIIARTERED•
The bill for the re•charter of this old and
substantial Bank, was yesterday passed in the
House of Representatives. Having already
passed the Senate, it now requires bat the
Governor's signature, which it doubtless will
receive, to become a law. The stockholders
and the business community of Pittsburgh
are mainly indebted for this desirable result
to the efforts of Hon. William Wilkins, who
labored for the re•charter from a • full and in•
telligent knowledge of the high character of
the men composing the corporation and the
necessity which existed in our community, si,
largely engaged in manufacturing, for Oh,
capital to be continued to be employed in the
banking business. The bank has been re
chartered " upon its merits." No hireling
borers, nor undue influence of money,.hao been
brought to bear. The bank has been re char
tered because the Legislature believed it was
required in Pittsburgh, and because its ex,
hibits showed that it was honestly and fairly
conducted. Our business men will be much
gratified at this result.
The Atlantic Telegraph.
The London Times announces that the gen
eral' programme of the second, and, it is to be
hoped, final attempt to submerge the Atlantic
telegraph wire, has alrea'iy been decided on.
The four hundred miles of cable ordered to re
place the three hundred and eighty.four miles,
which were lost last autumn oil Valentia,
have been completed, and it is intended, in
order to make better provisions for casuali
ties, that an additional three hundred miles
shall be at once proceeded with. The Aga
memnon and the Niagara are the vessels again
to be employed in the attempt to lay the wire,
and the operation will, this year, be com,,
menced in the middle of June, in which month,
it is said. there are some five or six consecu , .
Five days during which a .gale in the Atlantic
was seldom or never known to occur. The
line will ke joined and laid from the centre of
the ocean, the Niagara bringing her end of
the cable to Ireland, and the Agamemon con
veying hers to America. The Niagara is daily
expected at Plymouth, where she will take on
board, at the Keyham Dockyard, one thousand
five hundred miles of the wire.
On this occasion the cable will not be piled
away in one huge mass, but will be distribut
ed equally in the fore, midship and after-part
of the vessel, in three coils of five hundred
miles each. As soar' as the wire has been
stowed away, the two steamers will proceed
into deep water,when a number of experiments
will be made with the payingsout machinery,
to ascertain, practically, if any difficulties ex
ist in the proposed plan for submerging the
wire from the centre of the Atlantic.

western Emigration.
The emigration to the West which during
the financial panic, was in a great measure
suspended, is now largely increasing. The
trains arriving and departing from our city,
now carry large numbers of persons anxious
to better thir condition by seeking new homes
in the West. So far as we are able to judge,
the character of the emigration this season is
good. Those who are going west do so with
the intention of working—of becoming pi
. daces—not of speculating or living off others.
This is the kind of emigration which makes a
new country prosperous, and builds up so speed•
ily those giant young nations for which the
new world is so remarkable.

Government, although not seventy years old, is in a
state of decrepitude and decay ; that questions of
constitutional law are made to bend to questions of
political expediency.
Mr. Green said that the number of representatives
are to be decided by toe House alone. Ho read a
list of - the States Tepsesented by fractions—Massa
chusetts, Rhode Island and others—and demanded

Mr. Pugh, incidentally referring t r Mr. Mason's

HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES
In committee,Mr. Stephens spoke in favor of the
immediate admission of Kansas under the Leoomp.
ton Constitution.
- -
Mr. Gilmer argued in favor of admitting Kansas
without the Lecompton Constitution, leaving.the pea.
ple to fairly sattle the question. The issue of this
would be satisfactory to them and the country, and
no principles would thereby be compromised.
Mr. Burlingame, of Masslichusetts ' said he trampled
the threat'of disunion scornfully and defiantly under
foot. ile_would shake hands with the fire-eaters of
the South to exterminate the dough facas who misre
present the views of the North. He was prepared to
vote for Crittenden's amendment of the Kansas bill.
He said the Douglas Democrats, the Republicans and
the South Americans' all unite on this floor fur
different reasons, but without preooncert, which
shows the honesty of their convictions. He appealed
to the young men of the country, without distinction
of party, to sustain the Douglas men, who have kept
their faith and remained firm while others have
trembled in the presence of power.
Mr. Parrott, claiming to represent the entire peo-
ple of Kansas, said that without the enjoyment of
the rights to which they were entitled, they had no
means to redress their wrongs. They were the vic
tims of merciless warfare and persecution, and after
the despotism imposed by foreign invasion, and main
tained by the persistent arms of the government, the
civil strife had at last culminated in the Leliompteu
Constitution, which was designed to prolong and
make permanent the vassalage of the people. The
Convention was fraudulently constituted, and the
pretended submission of the Constitution was a
cheat.
Mr. Zollicoffer advocated the Lecompton Conetite.
ion.
WASHINGTON CITY, March 30.—The caucus of the
Democratic members of the House to-night was fully
attended. The Senate Hanes bill was discussed in
gocd temper by both LecompOn and Anti-Lecomp
tonites. No amendments were suggested to that
measure ' and finally aresointion MS adopted deciding
that the bill should be voted for as it came from the
Senate. Before the vote was taken, Clark, of New
York, said that he did not feel himself bound by the
action of the caucus, and. Marshall, of Illinois, re
tired, saying that was no place for him. He was fol.-
lowed out by rteorly all the Anti-Lecompton Demo
crats. Those who remained did nor indicate the
course they intended to pursue.
All the Republican members have agreed on their
policy with regard ,to the Kansas bill. It will be
their endeavor to get a vote on the rejection of .he
}Kansas bill; that failing, to vote to lay on the table;
and in the event of not succeeding in this, to vote
with all the Anti-Lecomptonites for the amended bill
of Mr. Crittenden.
