In our dajs. the high born and the wealthy haire small indacem?nts to violate the salutary restriction* of the law. However the moral code may be Infringed, the criminal one is respected? Ic breaches of privilege and honor, aristocl'atic delinquency is chieSy comprised, and Joss of character and caste, the severest penally incurred by the offenders.
There are, hbwcVif?, within oar own recollection, some melancholy exceptions to be found. Men of superior rank have occasionally presented themselves as criminals: and as the well being of socitty demands, the impartial hands of justice visited the offence with unmitigated severity.
Oi the few unhappy cas-js, one will be remembered with lively regret. For nor crime were there more apologist-—for no punishment more general sympathy—and while his sentence vv^s accordant to the letter of the law, the sternest ethic lamented that justice required a victim like Maj. Alexander Campbell.
This unfortuuate gentleman was a des cendant of an ancient family in the Highlands. Having entered the army at an early age, he served abroad undnr Sii Ralph Abercromhie, and in Egypt had particularly distinguished him?ey". He was transferred to tho 21st Fu^ileers from a High-, Kind corps, and hit promotion to a brevet majority, it was said had given offence to the senior captain b( the regiment. Certain it i«, that between these officers no cordiality existed—Utile pains were taken to conceal a mutual dislike—-frequent and angry altercations took place, and the temper of CfmpbelJ, naturally warm, was often irritated by Ih'tftuol contradictory spirit*of his unfortun ite'viQtiin. iiJ4P
The *21st regiment was ^'irxrtered
Newry when thei»al£yearly inspection ocrnrfnrl Ae c»nif^ nllirpr. 111 Ulrtl' i'ijUTlfl* curred. As seniifr ollicer, Major Camp bell commanded on that occasion. After diiH)cr, in the course of conversation, Capt. Boyd asserted that Campbell had given wu ordef incorrriily on parade.* A hot and teasing argument resulted. Unfortunately that evening the mess table had been deserted for the theatre, and tho disputants were left together at a momeut when the presence of a judicious friend might have easily averted the catastrophe. Heated with wine, and exasperated by what he conceived a professional insult, Campbell left the table, hastened to his apartment, loaded his pistols, returned, sent for Capt. Boyd, brought him to an Inner mess room, of a friend or a witness, demanded instant satisfaction. Shots were promptly discharged and, with the first lire, Boyd fell, mortally wounded. The dying man was removed to his barrack room, and Campbell hastened from the scene of blood.--Thostorm of passion had subsided, and the bosom of the wretched homicide was tortured with unavailing remorse. In a state of mental phrenzy, he rushed to the chamber where his victim lay, supported by hi# districted wife, and surrounded by his infant family. Throwing himself upon hia knees, he supplicated pardon, and urged
Boyd to adirt't that "every thing was fair. The dying man, whose sufferings were intense, to the repeated entreaties of his opponent, icplied "Yes, it was fair but, Campbell, you are a rash man—you hurried me—"and shortly afterwards expired in the arms of his wife.
When the melancholy event, was cow municated,at the solicitation of his friends Campbell left the town. No attempt was made to arrest him, and he ffiight have re mained i# partial retirement had he pleas* ed. But his high spirit 6ould not brook concealmeftf and contrary to the entreaties of his family, and the opinion of hts professional advisers, he determined to risk a trial, ni»d due time surrendered him self, as the summer assizes were approach itfj.

1 shall never forget the loth of August 180S- I arrived in Armagh the evening of the major's trinl, and when 1 entered the court hou?e the jury had retired to consider the vcrdict they should pronounce. The trial had been tedious—twilight had fallen, and the ball of justice was rendered gloomier, if possible, from the partial glare of a few candles, placed upoa the bench

tiny—his"boble and' commanding figure, thrown into an attitude of calm determination, was graceful and dignified—and, while on every countenance beside, a sickening anxiety was visible, ndl the twinkle of an eyelash, or motion of the lip,betrayefon the prisoner's face tftfe appearance of discomposure or alarm. Just then a slight" jpoise was ber.rd—a door softly and slowly opened—one by one the jury reluctantly returned fo their box-*—the customary question was asked by the del of the crown, and—cuiL-fr was faintly answered, ac.eom panied with a recomoa^ndattpn to mercy, however.
An agonizing pause succeeded—the durt was silent as the grave—the prisoner bowed respectfully tb the jury—then, planting his leet firmly on the flo»r, he dr ewhimself'ip to his full• "height, and prepared to listen to his doom. Slowly Judge Maync assumed the fkiift cap and all unmoved, he pronounced, & Campbell heard his sentence.
While the short address that sealed the prisoner's fate was being delivered, the silence of the couit was broken by smothered sobs but when the sounds ceased, and •'Lord have meccy on your soul' issued from the ashy lips of that grave old man, a £roan of horror burst from the auditory, and the Highland soldiers who thronged tho court ejaculated a wild "amen," while their flashing eyes betrayed how powerfully the fate of their unhappy countryman had effected them.
Nor did the result of his trial disffirb the keeper's confidence in tht honor of the ondemned soldier. On his return to the an assurance that he would not escape was required and given and to the ist, CainphelUcontinued to e^joy all the omfort and liberty the prison cou}J afrd. -,«•
Mca niime,^fron exertions were' made t8 save him: petitions from the -jury, the grand panel of the county, and the inhabtant3%f Armagh, tvere forwarded to the Lord Lieutenant. But the judge declined to recommend the convict, and consequentthe Irish government refused to interfere. A respite, however, was sent down, to allow the.ca.sc of Hie unfortunate gtncman to be submitted to the king.
The mental agony ot Campbell's attached wife was for a lime severe beyond endurance, but by a wonderful exertion she recovered sufficient fortitude to enable her set out in person for London to throw herself at the queen's feet, and implore her commisseration. To cross the channel before steam had, bje^JLotroduced was frethelad'y reached the nearest pow*.*~~ barkation, her journey was interrupted, a tiale of unusual violence was raging, and 1

The success ot the little bark was for a time uncertain. The spray flew in sheets over the mast head, and frequently shut the vessel from the view of those on shore. But seamanship prevailed the pier was weathered and amid the cheers of their companions and the caresses af their wives, the hardy crew disembarked.
At that moment the sorrow of the lady attracted the notice of the crowd, and it was whispered that she was wife to the unhappy convict, whose fate, even in that remote jpot, had excited unusual sympathy. An aged fisherman stood near her, aod Mrs. Campbell inquired "if the weather was likely to moderate?" The *nafl,,er looked at th^ sky attentively, and shook his head. "Oh God I he will be lost! she murmured. "Could I but cross that angry sea, ho might jet be well." ""word, were overhead by the crew of the ijshmg
boat, who were securing its moorings. A ino.nentan consultation took place, .and. with one consent they offered to "®r across, or peiish. "It is madness, said the old man "no boat can live in yonder broken sea." But the courage of the hardy fiihermen wa* unshaken. The ladj was rtl tccd on board the skirt of the maiu-sail set, and after a passage as remarkable for its shortness as its danger, they reached the Scottish shores in safety. To the honor of these noble fellows be it recorded, that they refused to accept one shilling from the mourner, aftd followed her carnage with their eyes, invoking blessings on her tourney*

at the other
pier in a state of The days of that
side. She stood upon the pier in a state of exquisite wretchedness. The day being whom she loyed best on earth weie
bein„ numbered, and to reach the scat of mercy was forbidden! The storm was at its height—a mountainous sea broke into the harbor, while a crowd anxiously watched the progress of a fishing boat, which under close reefed canvass, was struggling to beat up to the anchorage.
The commisseration of *11 classes was painfully increased by the length of time that elapsed between the trial and death of Major Campbell. In prison he receiv^ ed from his friends the most constant and delicate attention*, aod one lady, the wife of Captain seldom left him. She read to him, prepared his^ meats, cheered his spirits when he drooped and penormed these gentle oCSces of kindneis, which are so peculiarly the province of woman.-
When intelligence arrived that mercy could not be extended, and the law must take its co«t«ej she Uoldly planned* an e^ tape from prtwa, but Campbell recoiled from proposition to*1
nrged him to escape. The clock
struck 12, and Campbell hinted that it was time to retire.
Aa usual, he accdmpaRTed hef"4 tb the gate, and on entering the keeper1* room, they iound him fast asleep. Campbell placed his finger on his lip—'-Poor fellow,** he said in a whisper to his fair comp^nipn, "would it not be a pity to disturb nimfn Then,taking the kejrs softly from the table he unlocked the outer wickct.f ^Campbell,"Said the lady "this is the crisis of your destiny—this is the moment of estape —horses are inreadinessjand'* The convict put his hand upon her mouth
"Ilush!" he replied,snd gently forced ber out, "would yoii have me to violate ray promise?" Bidding her good night he locked the wicket carefully, replaced the keys, and retired to his chamber without, awaking the sleeping jailor.
The fast scene of his life was in perfect keeping with the calm and dignified courage he htfd evinced during his confinement. The night before his execution the chaplain flept in his room. This gent^man's exeYlion to obtain a remission of punishment had been incessant, and now that hope was at an end, he labored tt prepare the doomed soldier for the trying hour that awaited him. On that melancholy, night he never closed his eyes, while Campbell sldpt as quietly as if no extraordinary eftent should happen on the inorrow. To the last, his courage was unshaken and while his friends were dissolved in grief, he was manly and unmoved. He mounted the stone stairs leading to the scaffold, with a firm ano measured step and while the rope Was being ad justed, the color never left his cheek, nor did his countenance betray the slightesingifation.
One* citcumstance disturbed Kiseqtfrinimity for a moment. On entering the piess'room, the executioner frightfully disgyised,presented himself suddenly. Campbell'involuntarily shrunk from this loathsome being, but as if annoyed that the wretchshouid shake his firmness for'nn instant,h#Calmlv de-sired him loproceed,and take care that the arrangements for death were stich as should make his transit from the world as brief as possible. jft was a curious incident attendant on thi3 melancholy event, that the 4*2d regiment, tlith whom he had served in Egypt, then garrisoned the town*, and the same he led to a bayonet charge against the invincibfes of Napolean, formed Uie jail guard to witness his execution. The feelings of the Highlanders when drawn out to be present at the ignominious end of their i4«m !»»U(feeomwere indescribable. Jaiaf tlo6\y a yefi ol anguish pealed »lo"? the ranks, and every bonnet was respectfully removed—Campbell addressed a few words to them in Gaelic. Instantly every face was upturned to heaven every cheek was bathed in tears every lip uttered a prayer for mercy at the judgement seat, and when the board, descending with thundering violence, announced the moment ot dissolution, the fearful groan that burst from the excited soldiery will never be
After being extended only till life was extinct, the body was placed in a shell, and a hearse in waiting receded it, and drove off rapidly. The remains ot the illstarred soldier were conveyed to Scotland.
There the clan and relatives of the deceased were waiting to pay the last tribute of their regard. In immense numbers they escorted the body to the family cemetery, and in the poeTs words, "they laid him in his father's grave."

when, from the Ability occasioned by the length of time that he had fitted, he found that he would be overtaken by Mr. Jones, he says, that he hoped him from attempting to »rrest bm, by threatening, in a fierce tone,
,fhc^n^
ed, to strike him with the axe—that, nothing daunted by this threat, Jones rushed upon him, and that he brought down the uplifted axe vit!» apparent violence, very gradually, so as to inflict no wtwld--that Jones seized the axe In its descent with both, bands and wrested it from htm that he then ran, Jones pursuing, until, after a few steps, finding that be couldnot outrun his putstfer, he stopped and^om menced the combat- -4hat he r^eased himself from the gnwp of 3. a secona time, «sod agal# attempted to escape by

This occured between the hoars~of 6 and 10 and the negro states that he immediately withdrew from the scene, about sixty yards distant, where he remained until the groans of his victim began to attract the attention of Jones's family—th«»t he then, fearful of being shot, ran off, and concealed himself until early in the morning, when he went tojtbe residence oi Air.
