Our Special Washington Despatch. ‘Wasurxaton, July 6, 1865. The public were taken by surprise this afternoon by the publitation of the sentences of the assassination conspirators and the order for the execution to-morrow of the four condemned to be hung. Of course this sub Ject has engrosged the thoughts and conversation of the people since, A8 soon as it was known that General Hancock was charged with the execution of the sen- tence he was overwhelmed with applications for passes to witness the execution. But a few of them could be granted, however, as the accommodations of the yard where the executions are to take place are very limited, Very liberal provisions have been made for the accom- modation of the atiachés of the prefs, who are under obligations to General Hancock for his kindness and dis- Position to facilitate thelr labors, : At first the truth of the statement was doubted, on account of the shortness of the time intervening between the approval and the execution of the sentence of death. The official orders soon dissipated all doubt on the sub- ject. The justice of the findings and sentences ig universally conceded; but the sentiment seems to be very general that {t would have been better to have postponed the execution until a week from to-morrow. Very little feeling exists on the subject, however, and it makes but little differ. ence how soon the affair is over. Tho reasons for such apparent haste are undoubtedly to satisfy the public de- sire for execution to follow swiftly on the heels of judg- ment, and to also escape the thousands of uselers inter- cessions and importuuities that would be made for par- dons or commutations of sentence were the executions postponed for sixty or even thirty days. To the cases of Payne, Harold and Atzerott there is great concurrence of opinion, but that of Mrs. Surratt elicits much discussion. We have not conversed with a single todividual who has not manifested great sympa- thy for ber, and who does not condemn in some terms ‘the determination of the authorities to make her pun- iahment capital. The feeling eprings from a universal repugnance to hanging a woman, no matter for what offence. But few deny its justice. None believe her innocent, but all respect her sex. ‘The proceedings and findings were takes up by the President yesterday morning, and he reviewed them, with Judge Holt. All other visitors were excladed during the day. After a patient examination of the evidence the President approved the Gndings and sentence of the court, and issued the necessary orders for promptly car- rying them into effect. Bince the sentences of the conspirators were made pub- lic the friends of those sentenced to death have been un- ceasing in their efforts to oMain an interview with the President, in order to endeavor to obtain a eommutation Of their sentences, or at least ® respite. The President has, however, been unable to see them, and hes referred them all to Judge Holt. Among the applicants were the sisters of Harold, the spiritual adviser and the counsel of Mrs. Surratt, and the wife of Dr. Mudd. There is not the slightest hope of either com- ‘mutation or reprieve, except in the case of Mrs. Surrast. In ber case there is some reason to believe that her sen- tence may be commuted to imprisonment for tife, or at least thes she may be reprieved, though it is vory slight. The others will undoubtedly be executed, as ordered, to- morrow, A little before noon to-day Generals Hancock and Hart- ranft repaired to the military prison, when the sentences Of the Military Commission, approved by the President, were read to each of the prisoners by General Hartranft in General Haocock’s presence. The convict Payne was the first visited. He listened to the reading with groat apparent composure, and main- tained @ marvellous se!f possession threughout. He evi- dently expected nothing else, and was fully prepared in mind to meet bis fate. His behavior has been calm and un- exceptionable throughout his incarceration. Ifthe proofs Of bis terrible crime could be blotted from the recollec- tion of men, there would be f uch in big conduct to challenge the admiration aes one. mace hia imprisonment he has not been very communicative concerning himself or others, but bas not beon detect@d in any prevarication or duplicity. He seems to have gone into the plot deliberately, and accepts the consequences stoieally. He expressed hiv regrets thie afternoon that any conduct of bis should have tended to implicate Mrs. Surratt, and thinks John Surratt a great villain for not remaining to die with his mother, When asked if he desired his fri to bo notified of his sentence, he replied, “No, they were too far away to coine in season,” It seems beyond doubt that bis real name is Powell, and that hie friends and rel- atives reside in Florida, At his request Dr. Stracker, « Baptist minister of Baltimore, was sent for, Atzerott was next visited in his cell, and was much affected by the reading of his sentence, He entertained hopes of acquittal, or at most of being imprisoned a term of years, He desired to see a Lutheran minister, hat expressed no preference for any individual, tov, Mr Butler, pastor of the Lutheran church, corner of H and Eleventh stroets, was sent for and visited him twice during the day and evening. Atzerott communicated to him that he had been religiously roared in boyhood, but had never pro- fonsed religion himecif, He inquired earnestly if there was no hope for hie being pardoned, and, when posi- tively assured there was none whatever, gave way to paroxymes of grief and became greatly prostrated Surgeon Porter, of the regular army, has visited the Prisoners twice datly since theit confinement, and this afternoon reporid Atzerott rraaiy depressed. and thab the ground f 1 Reh eR'as ee brandy for bis restoration. Atzerott maintains his original declaration, that he only conspired with Booth and others for the President’s capture, and the moment he bs discovered he was to play the assassin he declined to co- operate further, and attempted to break away from his associates. In this assertion he has been consistent throughout, ‘The scaffold has been erected in the south yard of the the old Penitentiary building, which ts enclosed by a high brick wall. The coffins and burial clothes have already been prepared. Only a limited number of persons will be admitted to the scene. Tho sentences of the con- spirators who are to be imprisoned will be carried into immediate effect. NEWS FROM FORTRESS MONROE.

Oxford Undergraduate Sympathies [From the Manchester Guardian,,June 22. ‘The aunual commemoration of founders and benefac- ‘tors took place at Oxford yesterday, in the Sheldonian Theatre, which, shortly after ten o'clock, presented the usual brilliant appearance, the semicircle being occupied by ladies, the galleries by the undergraduates and the area by masters of arts, &c. Immediately the under- graduates had gained their seats the usual —- strations were made, “‘her Majesty and the other bers of tho royal family” being lustily cheered at the onset. Lord Derby came in for an early ovation, and the mame of Lord Palmerston was greeted with equal applause, General Lee appeared to have the entire sympathies of Young Oxford, who, on the other veseel is now taking a cruise towards Gibraltar, looking into various ports, but will soon appear at Cherbourg to show tho old flag again. The Niagara and Sacramento have been lying in this port for four days, but sailed Yesterday for Queenstown, Ireland, where they will re- main but alittle while, and then they proceed to Cher- bourg, where they will lie for a week or two, waiting orders. allio The Niagara, Commodore Craven, who has been com- manding the little squadron since his arrival, aided by the Sacramento, has performed some exceijent and highly important work.
