The scene was imposing, althoazk aw- ful. All the military in the city were formed in a large hollow sqaare ; in tae middle was the machine of death, on @ platform raised ten feet from the ground on — with @ railing round, and wide steps from the ground in front. On the platform was the garrote, an iron seat or chair, with the backin one piece, Naren: ry oot than the persoa ing on the reat. On this back, oven with the head, is the apparatus of death, consisting of iron clasps which are to fit the sides of the head, anda clasp to pass round the throat. From behind is a long iron bar attached to a screw, which, put in motion by the hangman giving one turn, draws the side and throat pieces ne and, at the same in- stant, sends an iron into the spinal marrow. of the neck, from behind, which caases instantaneous di Na, Sept. 1—10 o'clock. death. Such was the machine furGen Lopez. He bebaved Like @ brave man, throughou: the 1 moments. He walked, sarrounded by a guard, from the Punta fort to tne steps of the garrote, as | cool, epparently, as if he was at the head of aa amy. He was dressed in a long white gowa, and 2 white cap; bis wrists were tied in frout and above his elbows bebind, with the cords held by soldiers. He ascended the steps with two crviliaus, frieads, no priest, as common in such cases. He faced round end seemed to take a good look on the soldiers, and the immense throng of peo ie outside of the square, and then turned roundand knelt in prayer for ubout one minute. ile then roge and turoed towards tae front, and in a clear, manly voice, aod in tonesload enough to be beard by the thousands pr sent, (for it was as still as night,) spoke as follows:—‘‘Coan- trymen, | moet sulewnly, ia this last awful moment of my life, ask your pardea for any injury I have caused you. It was not my wish to injure any one, my object wae your freedom and happiness;” here be was interrupted by the commanding officer in front (on horseback). He concluded by saying, ‘my intention was good, and my hope is ia God.” He then bowe:! and tarned round and took his seat apparently with as much coolness as if he hadtaken a chair in @ room with friends. Ho placed bie head back, en the iron grasps, the negro hangman then adjuste] the iroa throat clarp and tied his feet so bolts oa each side of the seat. During this preparation, Lopez was in conversation with his friend. The tall negro hangman, who is kept as public executioner, then took his place at theironbar behind. Lopez kissed the er anded to him by his friend; the negro one turn of the wrench and Lopez died instantly without the least struggle. Tais was precisely as the clock struck seveu.

I have read in the Evening Post, Journal of Com- merce, and Lyi articles on Ame- rican » in which there are statoments made in reference to the manufacture of Svotch tartan or shawls. The writers of the several articles the grossest rauce of the above mentioned tures. To correct their mis- trouble you. I may state statements I at present that I have been engaged in different departm: manufacture of plaid shawls for tho last six- teen years, ir Scotland and Ameriva, and therefore ought te know something of the shawl trade. Tho Evening Post’ says:—* The Tribune scams igno- rant of the facts necessary to a right judgment in, the case, although these have beeu laid before the public in this pepe. It was American ingeuuity, and not the American tariff, which enadied the American to undersell the Scotchman in our mar- ket. Before the invention of a method of making the esto shawls by machinery, the Bay State mills, h now issue shawls in such quantities, could hold no competition with the owners of the ~ ile rg ” Scotland,” &¢. Journal Commerce says:—One word more in regard to Bay State mills ng shawls. ‘The success of the ig owing more to the enterprise and good management of, its projectors, than to protection on the part of the government. ‘i'n: greatest difficulty was in regard to colors ‘To se- some celebrity was employed; but he madea total failure. Then a Scotchman from tho enlast district of his owa country, was and he gave up, we believe, ascribing his failure to some fault ia the water. ‘Tbe indefatigable manu- facturer fell back upon a Yaakee, who had served his time im the dye house of another mill under his charge, and he succeeded in producing the colors, which are the wonder of all Europe. The Scotch mode of twisting the fringe was at hind, aud this cost, at the lowest rate, forty cents for each loag shawl. A Yankee in this same mill invented a twisting machine, which docs the same work, in better style, fur three coa:s.” The Tribune says :—**Taoe saving in the fringe is ey to but thirty-seven cents on each shawl. ‘That, with protection, the inventive genius and ac:ive enterprise of our peaple, would rapidly duce the price of every article, even while prying bester wages to labor, aid making reasyuabo profits.” The above are a few extracts from the editorials is. Of protee- tion to manufactures by government I would say nothing; but will give a few facts in regard to shawl manufactare. The above mentioned jour. nals say that itis tothe saving of cost in the tw. ing of fringes that the American manufacturer is able to undersell the Scotchman. Now, what is the cost of fringe twisting in Tulicoultry, &e, in Scotland, where the principal in Phe of shawls are carried on! ~The price paid for twistiag such shawls as are made 1a the Bay State ills is from two to three pence—equal to four ant six cents—each shawl; the cost tothe Bay State Com- pany being three cents by machinery. Such is tho cost ef fringe ¢ visting at the present day; aud such. it has been in Scotland for a number o: As to paying forty cents for hand twii in this country, the pay has been eight to ten cents, and even at thas price they do not cost much, ifany, more than machine twisted breaking of fringe or cutting of the cloth of the shawl; whereas, by machine twisting, shawls are at times damaged, which certainly adds to the cost cf production. In proof of the above, a shawl manufacturer in this State got a machine to twist his shawl, which was to cost, I believe, $1,000 He had the machine put up, and set to work, eu- perintended by a Yankee, and attera trial of a woek or so, it was found to work so badly that it was taken down, and, I bolieve, sent back to the maker. So much for the prices paid for hand twisting aad machine twisting. Th trio are, for once, unanimous in awar Yarkees considerable praise tor their iaven'ive a lies. Now, without doubting in the least tae ia- ventive genius of the Yaukves, from what I have said above, it is plain thatthe machine applied to twisting shawls is of little or no benefit to the shawl msnufacturer. The saving from five to seven cents by twisting by machines, even ailowiag no damage done at timos to the goods, is a small item in the cost ofa shawl, that sells iu the wholesale maikes at $6 to $4}, and surely the Bay State or any other company did not show much of an inven- tive genius in manufacturing the same kind of shawis that had been manufactured in Szot- land for at least twenty years befure the Bay State mills were in existence, neither has the inventive genius been displayed ip the beautiful do- signs mentioned in another paragraph, as they were, and continue to be, pirated from Scotch pat terns, as may be seen by any visiler te tae Word's Pair, where there a number of Sootish clan tartan patierns og the shawls inthe American seo iva ofthe Exhibition. But the Jowrwr! of Comuerce finds something besides the machines with which Lo eoft sawder bis Yankee friends. tells us that the Bay State Company hired a German of some celebrity to color fur them, and that this German utter'y failed. (uery—what was this Germaa celebrated for! | ‘hes we kave a Scotchman from the principal shaw! district of his own country, who was tcie4; but be “ puir chield,” gave up. The Journ! doos not inform us whether he was a dyer ia Seotiand, or only a chorer in a dye house there. After the failure of theses two, a Yankee is brought to the rescue of the establishment, and produces c»lors that are the wonder of all Europe! Le; us see if it was for their brilliancy. Last fall, at the fsir held in Castle Gaiden, a considerable number of slawis wore oa exhibition. The jurors examined the different manufacturers’ shawls, and awarded the prize (not to the Bay State Company, as oue might be led to believe ought to have been the case), bui to Roy & Company, Watervliet, East Troy; and the prize was awarded to the Watervliet Company for their superiority of colors ; these colors were pre- pared by Smith aud Lb Jict, two Seotehmea ia the employment of Koy & Co. From tho above (#hich the editors of the Journal of Comm rece could not but be aware of), it will be seen that it could not be for superier mses that the Bay State Company appear so wonderful in the eyes of Europe. The Trius says that, with protection, iaventive genius and astive enterprise of our ple would idly reduce the price of every article, even while aying better wages to labor. Now let us seo what the wages ure that are paid in manufacturing those shawls in both countries. Most of the plaid shawls mace in America are woven by power looms. !"or each 22 porter shaw! there are paid, for weaving, twenty to twenty five cents; mos; of the shawls made in Scotland, are woves on hand looms, aod for cach 22 porter shaw! is paid sixty esnts for by ey 4 For weaving the same quatity of shawls i Compaay’s, ia Troy, ou (ne handtoom, is i y cents.

DISCIPLINE OF THE CONVIOTS—APPUARANCE OF THE: PRISON—ARTICLES MANUFACTURED, ETC. Many years ago it was thought to govern convicts in a State prison, without adopt- ing the most stringent measures, adding corporeal punishment almost on every trivial occasion of dis- obedience. It was deemed, in those days, almoet absolutely necessary, with the view of impressing & terror on the minds of those individuals who, by a violation of the laws made by the majority of tho people for the welfare and protection of society, had become vistims by @ deviation from the rules laid down, avd were thus made to feel the flects of the law, by an incarceration: of many years, at hard labor, in @ State pri- son. In days gone by, much inhuman treatment has been practiced in our State prisons—unruly: convicts have been known to have died by ill usage, andsome almost expired under the lash. Such treat-- ment and discipline of convicts, we are happy to say, have passed away, and now, under this more enlight- ened age the barbarities heretofore practised and in- flicted on the degraded and unfortunate convict, have been abolished, and the only stain yet left is the application of the “shower bath;” but that mode of punishment, which is considered very severe to those whose constitution cannot sustain the shock, will, ere long, no doubt, be also struck from the code of punishment, as a means of enforcing obedience to the mandates of the prison regulations. The State Prison at Sing Sing, Westchester county, is, probably, as at present conducted, one of the bes) regulated establishments in the State. Year after year iiaprovements have beon made, and. the last appoictment made by the Inspectors, of KR. A. Robinson, Esq., as Warden, appears to have accomplished much towards the well being of the convicts, and discipline of the prison. Mr. Robin- son’s gentlemanly manners, and bis perfect know. ledge of human nature, admirably befit him for the situation he occupies. He appears to feel that more can be accomplished towards the reformation of the convict by good usuge, than by imposing a punishment of torture on trivial occasions for the purpose of extorting confessions. The present Warden, albhough rigid to the letter in the enforce. ment of his ru'es aud regulations, yet he is at all times accessible to the convict, and ready to hear and rectify any complaints made to him. He will reagon and talk to the convict, and thereby has be- come respected, and obeyed much more readily than be would otherwise in many cases be, should be resort to violent punishment. I: is not the ob- ject or meaning of the law to kill convicts by inhu- man treatment, nor is it the intention of the law to subject them, while under sentence, to acts of vio- | lence, whereby their constitutions may suffer; bat the meaning of the law, if we property comprehend - it, is, to endeavor if possible to show the eenvict that by good condyet he can reform aad become agein respectable in the community; that tho whole work of reformation rests within his owa power; and many a man whose misfortunes threw im inte the commission of a ciime, has seen the folly of violating the law, which is intended for tho benefit of all, and after a servitude of a few years in prison bes eguin become a worthy member of socicty. We are aware, however, that many con- Victs can never be reformed, as we have instances in men now inthe State Priecon, who have served nearly half their time in that establishment. We made our eunual visit to the prison the fore- part oflast week, and never have we seen the estab- ishment in more complete order; for cleanliness i: cannot be surpassed, and the discipliae exhibited certainly appeared to be all that was necessary. In the male depertmont, there are but few oa the sick list, ond the others look remarkably well, and seem to enjoy good health, considering tac circumstances they labor under. Tho majority of the convicts, we are sorry to edmit, aro trom this city, under eentences averaging from two years up toa life imprisonment. in passing through the different workshops we were politely escorted by Mr. Ro- binson, the Warden, and Mr. Robert Lent, the abl architect of the prison, whose residense for over twenty years in that capacity, has rendered him one of the most valuabie persona connected with the establishment. He uot only attends to his le- gitimate duties, but has become porfect in tha knowledge of convict discipline, andcan give the history of m ts woo, as he terms it, “have been regular fuct, Mr. Lent is looked upon, as Cap es‘ A man at cen give an epivion esis an optaion,” as all does tay sppenrs to be lax, from the al!
