There cm b$ no impunity for crinie. Though! offended justice slumber for awhile, it will assuredly awake to fearful retribution. Thcipunishment for rape is death.

And it behooves tbe law and its officers to see that the poor and humble be especially protected. The rich and powerful may find resources to stay the curreujt of bitter memories and may rest upon pllierd to shield them from addition al wrong and insult. The poor have noue but the law to protect them. Maj the fate of the prisoner and the re sult off this; trial, be ever a warning to all to desist from evil ways and fear the pun ishment of the offended law.; Whilst I may nt, with infallible certainty, declare the prisoner actually guilty of the horrid act, itias been so declared by a jury of impartial mpiv and I cannot see that tbe verdict! ix wrong.

I learn, however that the Com missioners have recently let' to contract ;the repairing of the bridge floor &c, and will probably hive a couple of spans bnilt across the sluice. I beg leave, respectfully ,to suggest to the commissioners, the work they propose lo do will not remady the evil complained of, and iu so saying, I ouly speak tbe univeral opinion of everv one who looks at the place. Those two spans will be about forty yards distant, and entirely detached from the main bridge They cannot therefore, be confined and would necessarilylie washed away by the first fiesber, and 'we would be left po better off than wc were befot d.
