Death of Four Distinguished Personages. The most striking feature of the last European news is the announcement that no less . than four distinguished characters have departed this life. Gey. HaveLocx.—Henry Havelock was born . } in 1795, and was therefore at his death in the 63d year of his age. When he was about 18, . he eutered the Middle Temple, with a view of devoting himself to the law, where hig most intimate asseciate way the late Justice Talfuurd, the author of “Iou.’’ But military propensities of his family soon prevailed, and he obtained a commission in the army. After serving eight . years in different parts of Great Britain, be embarked for India in 1823. The following three years he served in the Burmese war. Never was an able man, however, more the victim of routine than Havelock. ‘Twenty-three years he passed as @subaltern, before he received acompany. From 1839 to 1846, be was constantly in service in the Affghan and Sikh wars, and distinguished himself in the most honorable manner, And yet, at the age of 62, when the Indi. an mutiny broke out, he was only a Colenel in . . ‘ . the the army. “After thirty-four years of Indian service,’”’? says the London Times, ‘after campaigns in the swamps of the Irrawady, in the plains of Central India, in the passes of Cabul, and on the parched sheres of the Persian . Gulf—after fever and shipwreck, and long . years of fatigue, the veteran still lingered in comparative obscurity, and must have eonsoled himeelf only with the thought that he had done his duty. But with his veble achievements daring che present struggle, the public is familiar. It is not too much to say that he turned the . flank of the reverses in Iudia, The hero of nine . vietories, so immensely important in their timeliness, his name was in the mouth of every man to whom the honor of England was dear. But } the unwearied soldier, powerful commander, honest and Christian man, sleeps peaceably. at . last, beneath the soil of India, and the grati. tude of his country can only revert to his sur. viving family.’ MarsuaL Rapersky,—This long-tried and most efficacious justrument of despotism, was a Bohemian, born in 1766. It were needless to . recount his steady rise in the Austrian army, . his memorable conflicts, his many valuable services to his country, his not scanty efforts against liberty aud the right. Of bis military . genius, nothing is to be said but in praise, He . had fought Davoust, Lannes, Oudinot, Massena, and Napoleon himself—and he never showed to disadvantage. His name carries us back to another era, He was in faet, the o)dest soldier of . the Austrian Empire, and had been identified . with the military bistory of that country from . the earliest days of Napeleon J. down to 1848, . . when he congugted the Ltalign campaign, He . had reeeived every hovor . . whieh the crown . . could bestow, was still in the confidence of the . young Emperor, aud exercised up to a late pe. riou much iufluenee on the governing pelicy of .

Execution of an Indian Chief. Leschi, the noted Nisqually chief, and leader of the tribes who have been carrying on & war against the whitesin Washington Territory, was executed near Steilacoom, on Friday, Feb. 17th. There seems to have been a differeuce of opinion in the Territory, as to the propriety of executing the chief, and the Sheriff of Pierce county refused to execute the sentence on the day at first fixed by the Court, He was re-sentenced, however, and Mr. Mitchell, a Deputy Sheriff of Thurston county, was appointed to execute the sentence. The Pioneer and Democrat published at Olympia, give the following account of the execution : The . ie oer yeenes being now completed, Mr. Mitchell ealled upon Lieut, Schaaf aud informed him that he was now ready to receive the prisoner ; whereupon he was led forth from bis cell. almost tottering from weakness, and pale, er rather white, from long confinement. In fact, it seemed to us, that even though bis death had not been fixed upon, a few more weeks—at most, a few months—and be would bave “shuffled off the mortal coil.’? From the guard-house he was conveyed on horseback to the place of execution, distant abeut a mile from the military pest, surrounded in such a manner that escape would have been impossible, had he at tempted such a thing. But of this we believe he had not the least desire. In fact, had escape been offered him, we doubt whether he would have availed himself of it. To us it seemed as if he had grown tired of life, and preferred death to a continued incarceration. Arriviug at the place of execution, we found the gallows erected in alow gulch in the prairie ; here the bela 14 man was assisted in dismounting and immediately led to the scaffold. At the foot of the ladder, looking up to the rope which hung suspended, with its sliding noose, he hesitated fur a moment, but instantly collecting himself, he ascended with a firm step, as if he desired to show the white man how fearlessly an Indian can meet death, The prisoner evincing no desire to speak or make any confession, his arms were secured behind him, when perceiving his life was drawing to a close, he bowed himself to the spectators, and for the space of some ten or fifteen minutes engaged in fervent prayer :—said (in jargon of the country,) that he ‘would soon meet his maker—tbat he had made his peace with God, and desired to live no lenger—that he bore malice to none, save one man,’ and upon him he invoked the vengeance of heaven. Having concluded, the rope was adjusted, the cap drawn over his eyes, and at 35 minutes past eleven o'clock the drep fell, and Leschi, the brave in battle, was launched into eternity, without having moved a muscle to indicate fear of the death (by hanging) so dreadful to an Indian. He made no disclosures whatever, and proved ‘‘as true as the needle to the pole’”’ to bis confederates, After hangiag about 25 minutes, and life being extinet, his body was cut down and delivered to his relations, by whom he was taken to the Nisqually reserve for burial, Lire iN THe Mippie Aors,—Rude were the manners then; a man and his wife eat off the same trencher; a few wooden handled knives, with blades of rugged iron, were a luxury for the great—candles were unknown. A servant girl held a torch at supper; one or two mus of coarse carthen-ware formed all the drinking apparatus in the house. Rich gentlemen wore clothes of unlined leather, Ordinary persons seareely ewer touehed fresh meat. The nobility drank little or no wine in the summer; a little corn seemed wealth, Women had trivial marriage portions; even rich women dressed extremely plain. The chief part of the family’s . expenses were what the males spent in arms and horses, none of which, however, were very good or very showy; and grandecs had to lay out money on their lofty towers, In Dante’s comparatively polished times, ladies began to paint their cheeks by way of finery, going to the theater, and to use less assiduity in spinning and playing distaff. What is only a sympton of prosperity in large, is the sure sign of ruin in the small States. So in Florence we might very well deplore what in London or Paris would be praised ov cause asmile, Wretehedly, indeed. plebians hoveled; and if noble castles were cold and dreary every where, they were infinitely worse in Italy, from the borrible modes of torture and characteristic cruelty, two frightful to dwell on. Few of the infamous structures built at the time treated of stand, at present, yet their ruins disclose rueful corners. Exrraonprnany Arrark —The Eastern (Miss.) .

Stare or Car., Executives Deparr., ' Sacramento, March 10, 1858. To the Senate of California : Although the State Prison is only temporarily under my charge, I deemed it proper, on a recent visit to that institution, to make some material changes in its government, The rules hitherto adopted seem to have been intended almost exclusively for the convicts. Leaving nearly everything to the discretion of the officers, as might be expeeted, they have frequent. ly abused their power and shamefully treated the unfortunate prisoners. Instances have been cited to me which would disgrace any civilized community. In view of these facts, I did not hesitate to prescribe such puyles as would in the future correct, at least, some of the abuses which I doubt not have for a series of years been practiced in that prison, Orders were given to convert some of the cells, immediately, into dungeons, where punishment, more th accordance with the spirit of the age, could be inflicted upon the refractory. There are some men in the Prison who in my opinion, are entitled to Executive clemency; but, under the law as it now stands, must remain*there for years. I allude to that unfortunate class who have neither friends or money to give the notice which the law requires, before the Governor can consider an application for a pardon. Several cases of this eort have come under my observation, The law ought to be modified so as to enable the Executive, in extraordinary cases of this character, to suspend the notice; or, if it is feared that he would abuse the power, let him be authorized to make the publication at the expense of the Treasury. It seoms to me that justice and hymanity demand this. The number of prisaners is increasing, and unless the practice of sending for such long terms is abandoned, we will bave in a short time one thousand convicts. We have new upwards of five hundred, and suitable aeccommodations cannot be provided at San Quentia for more than three hundred, As the location is a bad one, a branch prison, therefore, becomes indispensable, In my opinion, a contract can be made with individuals who will take the labor of two hundred convicts at the Prison, and pay a sufficient amount to defray more than half the expenses of the institution. Idid not feel at liberty to make any contracts in regard to this matter, as the Legislature is about to apganize the institution on @ permanent basis, At present they are employed in preparing to manufacture brick, and in cleaning off the public grounds, As this subject is now before the Legislature, I deem it proper to transmit the Rules whieh have been established for the government of the Prison. The communieation marked “B,” was read to the convicts on yesterday, and will be repeated every day, for a weck, in order that they may fully comprehend it.
