Amodio and a tenor singer bave felleg victims to the yel- low fever, which, at last accounts, was raging at Havana, and that Signor Brignoli was very iit Thalberg. who was about to proceed to Havana, deizys bis journey on account of this intelligence. The question which the sheriff put as he lauachea the condemned into eternity, «James P. Donnelly, do you live?’’ was in accordance with the law of New Jersey. The law requires that the question shall be asked and the culprit sball respond ‘-Yes,"’ to show that he is alive when the preparations for his execution are complete. The testimony of physicians, to the effect that the culprit was afterward found to be dead, com- pletes the requirements of the law, the city of Norfolk. Isbould regret very much to see a penalty in- flicted on him for executing orders which it rous for him to disobey. Again sir, Lieut. Bryson was not the person in com? inand when the Saratoy# was brought bere, but Commander F. Chatard. and he not acting on his own responsibility, but under the orders of his immediate superior, Captain Paulding ; therefore the oaly offence with which Lieut. Bryson is chargeable is for permitting them to land. But how was he to prevent it! "Phe laws extend uo such authority to him, nor can J see that there is any ordivance inflicting a penalty for doing other than bringing paupers into the city of Norfolk. Moreover, these men were not brougut here ax _paupers or persons likely to be- come chargeable to your city, but as persons who had violated the laws of the United States, and as such liable to indictment before the U. 8. Courts. Certainly then you will not question the rights of the government ollicer or any one else to bring an offender into your city for the purpose of being tried, and, it may be, punished, by proper autho- rities.
