This morning Sir John Pakington, M.P., First Lord, and the other members of the Nonni of Admiralty, who had slept last night on board their paddle-wheel steam yacht Enchantress, Staff Commander Petley, landed at the dockyard, and after transacting official business with Captain Superintendent W. H. Stewart, C. 8., resumed their inspection of the establishment, visiting the various departments of the yard not inspected yesterday. This completed they afterwards proceeded to the ex tensive works in progress at the eastern extremity, at St. Diary's Island, for the enlargement and extension of the dockyard, by the taking in of upwards of 300 acres of tho marshland, nearly the whole of which has been reclaimed from the sea. Their lordships were received and conducted over the works by Major Clarke, R.E., the principal director of Admiralty works, Major Peaky, R.E., under whose direction they are being carried out, Mr. Bernays, resident engineer, and the other officials. The works in pores, include the forma tion of three large basins, the principal of which will have an area of upwards of thirty acres and the other two each about twenty-two acres. There Will likewise be two lame graving docks constructed, each about 500 feet in length, and sufficiently large to allow of the largest ironclads being docked and equipped for sea. Hitherto the whole of the works have been per fdrmed by the convicts, about 900 of whom are daily em ployed on the island, but the government have determined on having the remainder of the works completed by con tract, under which arrangement two of the three &loins and the two large docks will be completed in three years from the present time, and the remainder of the under taking in five years. After spending some time on the works and giving various directions as to the prosecution of the several undertakings, their lordships re-embarked in the Enchantress and proceeded down the harbour to Sheer nets, for the purpose of making an inspection of that dock yard and afterwards dining with Vice-Admiral Sir B. W. Walker, Commander-in-Chief at the Nora ADMIRALTY, AI7GUST 7.—APPOINTMENT.--Aa• sistant•Surgeon H. D. Stainstreet. to the Revenge. The John R. Worcester, Lieutenant W.

PROM TILE W EST INDIES.—LIVIRPOOL, AUCHIST 7.—The West India and Pacific Company's steamer American arrived in the Mersey this evening with dates from Kingston to the 16th July (morning), being six days • later than that by the previous mail. In consequence of a heavy sea and the prevalence of strong we er gales, it , was impossible to board the steamer, which, instead of docking, dropped her anchors between New Brighton and Sgreinont. The despatches will, therefore, not be landed until Wednesday morning. Alf AMERICAN SHIP BURNT TO THE WATERS Rixis..—We have bad occasion within the last week or two to refer to certain mutinous exhibitions on board the American ship Danube, which recently left Bristol for I New York, but our duties in this direction have now ceased, for the Danube has been burnt down to the water's ed The ship wee lying off Sully Island, below Penseth, onSaturday, when a fire was observed to be issuing from the hold. On discovering the conflagration, Captain Broughton ordered the nails to be set, and the venal to. be run ashore. This was done, and all bands landed safely, but the vessel was buret to the water's edge. How the fire originated is at present a mystery. The disaffection among the crew seemed to have sabidded, and the ship had gone as fez as Sully Island, ready to sail for her destiaatioa as ems as she caught favourable winds. — Waster* Dear Pros. )(Animus., AuousT 7.—The lieurwries im perials@ onsamar Paws, with the India sad Odes mails, arrived hen at 10 this moraine.

(antral 711101•118.) GREAT STORM IN THE ADRIATIC. DAMAGE TO THE ITALIAN FLEET. FLORENCE, Auctsr 7. A storm broke out yesterday in the Adriatic. Several vessels of the Italian fleet were damaged, and the Affondatore sank in the port of Ancona. The crew were saved, and active efforts are being made to raise her. A committee of inquiry has been instituted to investigate the causes of this disaster. PRUSSIA. _ BERLIN, Amon 7. General von Manteuffel has arrived here.

Baron Werther loaves to-morrow for Prague. The Grand Duke d Saxe Weimar wilt arrive here to-day, sod the ple nipotentiaries from Munich and Stnttgard to-mor row. _ _ BERLIN, Jarmo 7, Evniuso. To-day, in the Upper House, a letter was rand' from the Count of Westphalia, a membei . of the House, declaring that the oath of allegiance he had taken to the King of Prussia as to a Federal Prince was no longer binding, in consequence of his Majesty's withdrawal from the Germanic Con federation. The Upper House has unanimously adopted a motion for the presentation of an address to the King. Before the departure of the Crown Prince of Prussia for Heringsdorf, an address was presented to him by the principal authorities of this city, expressing the deep sympathy of the inha bitants in the loss sustained by his Royal Highness by the death of his infant son, and eulogising in glowing terms the personal part taken by the Prince in the military achievements of Prussia: The Crown Prince, in reply, thanked the munici, pality, and concluded by pointing out the joyous prospect that all their just hopes, both Prussian and national, would speedily be realised.

The Berlin correspondent of the Paris Temps mentions that on his way to Potsdam the other day he travelled with a Westphalian deputy who had six sons and a son.in•law engaged in nearly all the actions of the late campaign, yet not one of them received the slightest scratch. In melancholy contrast with this he cites the following announcement from the Kreur Zedung : " Deeply afflicted I announce to our friends and relatives that my beloved husband died yesterday morning from the terrible agitation caused by the death of our children. Our five sons, Francis Joseph, Ernest, George. Leopold, and Henrich de Stovolinaki have all shed their blood for their beloved Emperor and master. Four young widows and an only sister mourn with me.—De Stevolinska nit de Radestki." --- THE NAVAL BATTLE AT LIBRA.—M. Taxile Delord, writing in the Arenir National of yesterday, says :—" An attentive perusal of Admiral Tegithoff's report confirms us in the idea that the battle of Lissa was not for Italy that naval Waterloo with which certain journals are pleased to entertain their readers. It seems from that report that the Paleetro did not blow up until two hours after the engagement, and then only becausq it was impossible to extinguish the fire that had broken out on board. 'ln its retreat to a distance of three or four miles the Italian fleet had re-formed in line and manoeuvred so as to bring off the burning iron clad ; it succeeded because the ship could still use its engines.' The Austrian admiral adds :—' Our stay in the port of Lissa enabled us immediately to make the slight repairs, and to keep the squadron ready to meet the enemy if it attempted to renew the attack next day.' Such precautions as these are not taken against an enemy who is completely beaten ; nor are preparations made spinet the return of a fleet that has been destroyed." NATIONAL. ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION. —lmmediE ately after the last report was despatched from Shoebn7- nese the firing was stopped, owing to the incoming tide • cawing the markers to retire. The Queen's prise has there , fore yet to be disposed of. The final shooting commenced yesterday afternoon, it being delayed till then as the sands were not sufficiently clear of water to allow of the marking apparatus being erected before. With respect to the shooting of Monday, it seems that the bad weather not I only interfered with the accuracy of the shooting, but it is answerable for mistakes with the scoring apparatus, which I signalled wrong points. During Monday night the weather was so bad that the wet caused the tent ropes to tighten so u to draw the pegs, and many tents were in danger of being blown entirely down. When the men were paraded for recommencing the competition the wind had in creased to a hurricane.

Shark 175 East of recede Intrepid As this is slime race, the Shark allows Egeria 3m. 7seo. ; she also allows Pantomime, 6 or. :i2 sec., and Intrepid, 23m. 56 see. In the same proportion the larger vessels would have to allow the smaller ones time for the differ ence of tonnage. At 55 minutes past nine this morning the preparatory gun was fired, and at the same moment the signal No. 7 MU displayed at the masthead opposite the Castle. Every man was seen at his proper place immediately afterwards, and the signal was given that the course would be to the eastward. The weather, which yesterday had been miser able in the extreme, wet and boisterous, was now bright and clear, but with rather a strong breeze from the W.S.W., and the tide at about half ebb. At ten o'clock precisely the starting gun was fired. The smallest yacht, the In trepid, was oft almost as soon as the report was heard, with the other three in a cluster. If there was any difference it was in favour of the Egeria, and she showed signs of vwy good handling. Flowing sheets were soon made taut and ballooners were the order of the day. The Egeria took a wide berth towards the north, while the others kept more in a direct course. On being shut by Old Castle Point the Intrepid was leading, the Egeria second, and the Pantomime and Shark very close astern. When they were again seen after rounding the Warner light below Hyde, the former order had been wonder fully changed, for Eyrie was the leading vessel, and paned the commodore's vessel at 12.11, Pantomime passing at 12.12, the Shark 12.15 and the Intrepid a long distance astern. The course here lay towards the Southampton Water, and the Eyrie having covered all the buoys of . the Brambles, made a clean and smart tack towards the west ward channel, and went well on her course, with her sails standing full and well. In making this board the Panto mime was not so fortunate, for apparently sailing too close to the wind she for a time appeared becalmed, if not actually drifting astern, her sheets shook in the wind, and some delay occurred before they were fined, and she was again well on her way. She was for some time "in irone," and her chances of the prize seemed to be very doubtful indeed. The first time the vessels passed the Warner light the time was taken as follows: _ _ ...5......_ - H. ■.

L Ueda 4 6 1 Pantomime Being • difference of 1 min. 58 arc., and as the time allowed for difference of tonnage was 3 min. 35 see., the Pantomime won the race by 1 min. 27 sec. to vars. This was one of the best contested and interesting 8000$ ever witnessed at this regatta. Mr. Mulholland, the owner of the Kiwis, won the Queen's PALO last year, and but for the allowance of time would have been its possessor a second time. The town regatta also took place to-day, and, as signal, the after part of the day was observed as a holiday. The parade was crowded with reacher's and visitors, and the rifle oorps band hem Newport, enlivened the p by playing some excellent music. The whole of the were covered with boats and small craft, and lama ships lying of were dressed in their holiday bunting. i r age mums of prizes was as fo ll ows : A of eight sovereigns for four-oared boats helms- ing to any royal yacht club ; a prize of ten sovereigns for four-oared Baileys ; a sailing match for seven sovereigns for Asking and pleasure boats ; an open rue for skiffs not exceeding 18, for prizes of 5/. ,• a duck hunt ; • prize of ten sovereigns for four-oared galleys belonging to Eut or West Cowls, to be rowed for by the shipwrighu and ap- 1 prenticee residing in either town ; a skiff race for lusts belonging to East or West Cowes for 5/. ,• a prize of ten sovereigns for four-oared galleys mused by any crew"; a second duck hunt ; and an open race for skiffs for W. These races created great interest, and were exceedingly well contested, the duck hunts exciting considerable amusement. THE ROYAL ALBERT YACHT CLUB. PORTSMOUTH, Acors? 7. The regatta of the Royal Albert Yacht Club was resumed to-day, but the wind oontinned to blow so strong from the W.B.W. that only me prise was sailed for. The rowing and sailing prises offered by the committee of the Portsmouth and Southees Regatta were not competed for, a postponement until the weather moderates having bees very properly decided upon. - - - . - - The prize sailed fer to-day was the Albert Cup d the value of 50 guineas, presented by the dab, for cutters el 38 tons and under 80 tons, the course being from a shirting vessel moored off Southsea beech, round the Warner light ship, then round the S.E. buoy of the middle in the Wes! Channel, returning to the starting vessel after rounding the Spit buoy ; three times round. Five yachts were entered for the race, viz. : Tema Owners. se M *r. A. JA. C, iteaserd. 78 elchor, 47 Mr. , H. C. /M Manaday. 45 Admfral French. Vanguard BO captain Hughes. The vessels slipped their moorings about half-peal twelve o'clock , and immediately tacked round towards the Warner light ship, having a splendid bream on the star board quarter. The Sphinx got round first and obtained a good lead, followed by the Dione, Vanguard, and Chris tabel in the order named ; the Fiona, t r i oi to the time occupied in getting her head being considerably in the rear. They maint ained their relative positions with but little 'hinge to the Warner, the Sphinx having hauled up to the wind ward of her opponents, and shaped their course westward in the midst of a heavy sea, with clouds of spray beating over their bows, and the smaller vessels appeared at times to be almost buried by the sea. The Fiona,lhowever, soon regained the ground she had lost, and took the second place, the Vanguard also beading the Dione ; and on rounding the ting-boat off Bentham beach the filet time they were timed as follows :—Sphinx, 2 h. 4 min. 45 secs.; Fiona, 2h. 5 min. 4 seta; Vanguanl, 2 h. 8 min. NI secs.; Diane 2h. 22 min. 26 sees. The Christebal was con siderably in the rear, and she therefore gave up the contest, and went into Portsmouth harbour. This order was maintained throughout the second round, the two leading vessels slightly drawing upon those in the rear, and on again completing the course the Sphinx was only about 34 seconds ahead of the Fiona, the former being timed at 3 h. 58 min. 36 MKS, and the latter 3b. 59 min. 10 secs. The Vanguard passed at 4h. 9 min., and the Dione at 4 h. 11 min. 50 secs., and both these yachts then retired from the contest On running be tween the Warner and the Noonan shoal for the third time, the Sphinx drew ahead of her only remaining com petitor, and the FiODA, apparently thinking her chance of success gone, shaped her course for Portsmouth, leaving the Sphinx to complete the course alone. She arrived off the starting vessel about 5.45. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining accurate in formation respecting the schooner match round the Isle of Wight yesterday, it was stated that the Witch craft, having carried away her foretopmsst, re turned to Portsmouth harbour early in the race. It was, however, the Madcap that abandoned the contest as the yachts were proceeding down the Solent. The Witchcraft continued the race through the Needles and as far as Dunnose, when, having carried away her maintopmast, and a serious accident having occurred to one of her crew, she gave up the race and shaped her course for Hyde, her chance of *nooses against the Bluebell and Glorians having become hopeless.

The weeklyreturn of births and deaths in London published by authority of the Registrar-General, states that in the week that ended on Saturday, August 4th, the births registered in London and twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom wets 4,086 ; and deaths registered 4,499. ' The annual rate of mortality was 38 per 1,000 persons living. In London the births of 1,049 boys and 939 girls, in all 1,1188 children, were registered in the week. In the cor responding weeks of ten years 1856-65 the average number, ' corrected for increase of population, was 1,914. The deaths registered in London during the week were 2,661. It was the thirty-first week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,395. The deaths in the present return exceed the estimated number by 1 266. There is a slight increase in the high rate of mortality that ruled in the previous week. 1,053 persons died of cholera, 354 of diarrhom making 1,407 deaths from both forms of disease. The deaths returned in the four last weeks from cholera were 32, 346, 904, and 1,063; from diarrhom 150, 1221, 347, 354. The deaths from cholera exceed by 149 the deaths in the previous week ; the excess in the total deaths is only 61. Of cholera and diarrhom, 573 children under 5 years of age, 114 boys and girls of the I age of 5-10 ; 79 of the age 10-20 ; 255 men and women lof the age 20 . 40 ; 248 of the age 40-60 ; 127 of the age 60.80; and 11 old people of 80 and upwards. Deaths from diarrhea or cholera in small numbers occurred all over the London districts ; in Kensington Marylebone Pancras, Islington Holborn, the number; were considerable. In the we st districts of London 12 persons died of cholera ; in the north districts 46 (includ ing 19 in Islington, 20 in Hackney) • in the central dis tricts 31, including 12 in St. Botolph ; in the south dis tricts 47, including 21 in Deptford and Greenwich ; while in the east districts 916 persons died of unequivocal eholers. Only 16 of the deaths from cholera occurred in one of the largest of the east districts, Shoreditch. The violence of the attack is still expended on Bethnal-green, Whitechapel, St. George's-in-the-East, Stepney, Mile end Old Town, and Poplar, including Bow. There is some subsidence in Poplar and Stepney, but increased virulence in Bethnal-green and WhitechapeL The attack has been circumscribed y the same lines for three weeks in succession. This is no accident ; the phenomena are due to some specific cause. These violent outbreaks are ahnost invariably in England the result of contamination of the waters ; and the question is subsequently noticed. Upon the assumption that the waters were at some tune impure, there is this further aggravation that in the lower districts the water is not carried away. "It is unfortunately, says Mr. Bazalgette, " the locality where our main drainage works are not complete." A temporary pumping station is to be erected forthwith, and will be in operation in about three weeks at Abbey Mills. The East London waters bare been analyzed by Dr. Frankland, whose report is reassuring ; and Mr. Greer's, the engineer, is fully alive to the extreme importance of pure water st the present moment. The waters of shallow wells and pumps . are polluted ; and in this crisis the health of London 11 very much in the hands of our hydraulic engineers. The local authorities, who bed not instituted generally house-to-home visitation, are now on the alert. The sym pathy of the whole nation with the sufferers has been touchingly expressed by her Majesty, and has been pro claimed 1)7 the Prime Minister. I:nder these auspices, and with the intelligent exertions of the people themselves, we may hope ere long to see the destructive progress of the stayed.PlaCannual rate of mortality last week was 45 per 1,000 in London. 23 in Edinburgh, and 20 in Dublin ; 22 in Bristol, 22 in Birmingham, 53 in Liverpool, 38 in Manchester, 30 in Salford, 24 in Sheffield, 34 in Leeds 24 in Hull, 41 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 28 in Gl as gow . The rate in Vienna was 33 per 1,000 during the week ending the 21M ult., when the temperature was 18.2 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same week in London. where the rats was 31 per 1,000. EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.—The Britieb• organi- Ration of this body, which has members in all parts of the world, holds its 20th annual conference in Oc tobe r next. It had been originally arranged to Loki the general eon fwence of the body in liolbuid, but this resolution having been departed from, a numerously attended meeting of members and others was held in Ilath, when it was moved by the Rev. Charles Kemble, rector, seconded by the Bev. W. If. Dyer, minister of Argyle Chapel, and unanimously adopted :—" , That in view of the postponement of the general conference of the Evangelical Alliance in Holland, the council be respectfully and cordially invited to hold the next autumnal conference of the British organisation of the Alliance itselfth in October next ; and that thin meeting pledges to use ever 7 effort, in dependent* upon the Divine blessing, to impart efficiency and succor to the proposed assembly of members of the Alliance, and other friends of Christian union, en that occasion."

The number of cholera patients admitted to the London Hospital during the 24 hours terminating at noon yesterday was 22, being six more than had been taken in daring the previous 24 hours. Of these, 18 persons, all males, were attacked with cholera. The deaths during the period mentioned were 11, u against 12 on the pre vious day. The recoveries were, from cholera, 4 ; from diarrhcea, ; total 100. The applicants for out-door treat ment for premonitory diarrhoea fell to 900 yesterday. From about the 11th July, when the outbreak fir's set in, the number of sick patients steadily increesedlreen 3 or 4 in the day to the maximum of 554 which wee reached on the 23rd July. Then • comparative lull took place, and the numbers fell to about 270, but the disease again in creasing on the 31st ult. 497 persons were prescribed for ; a gradual falling off was observable after that date, and it is ascribed not toe diminution in the num bers of those attacked, but to the opening in variouskicalities of dispensaries where medicines and advice are given gra tuitously to all who present themselves. In the White chapel Union Workhouse there are about twelve cholera patients in the house. An entire ward has been set apart for male patients, and they are under the care of Dr. Champaign. The Whitechapel district has been very severely visited, and the extreme poverty of a portion of its population has united with the pasta/moo to produce scenes of much misery. It is no uncommon thing for the medical men employed under the Local Boast at Works to be called up See or six times in the Oetreo el • night M sitlead persons soddenly smitten vitiate dimmer In a house in Spring-gardens, six children belonging to one I f h efil a r r. h a v y e a br imas ed oped in zit e h h d o larrhi era l a ,whieh a in lease in one cue . Dunk street, six deaths have occurred. With the view of affording separate accommodation for cholera patients, the sanitary committee of St. MaryLebow, hays resolved to erect • cholera hospital in the Stone yard, at the northern end of the pariah, which is more densely populated than any other portion. For this pur pose they purchased an iron house, said to have been formerly used at Bethnal-green ea • cholera hospital, and at onos transferred two cartloads of the material to the stone yard, where disinfectants were freely ussd.. These steps created groat alarm iu the neighbourhood, already from its crowdedetate very unhealthy, =tithe inhabitants. who considered the vicinity a moat dangerous and Wean venient one for the erection of a cholera hospital, at once called an indignation meeting to protest against what they considered to be the favouritism of the sanitary committee in forcing upon the poorer district that evil which they kept from the wealthier districts, although the latter were far better able to contend successfully against its effects than the former. The meeting took place in • Very large room attached to the Melanie Tavern, North-street, Grove road. The room was crowded, and the greatest excitement prevailed throughout the proceedings. Mr. Fennell occu pied the chair, and Mr. Goddard moved, " That in the opinion of this meeting, the stone and Is a most ineligible spot to raise the intended cholera hos pital upon, for it is in the centre of a densely populated neighbourhood of poor working men, many of them being obliged to have empty stomachs fur the want of food ; and, immediately abutting upon the walls of the stoneyard, 6141 children are 'mumbled at school every day, viz.,. at the protestant school, the catholic school, and the dissenters' school ; and that the workhouse yard, being eo °entre], they consider it to be the beet position in the parish to place the hospital on." Mr. Hallam and Mr. Haggard, who attended by invitation as representatives of the Sanitary Committee, explained their views on the subject. Mr. Hallam did not think there was any cause for such alarm as had been ex hibited. Every precautionary measure had been taken by the committee ; with regard to the site of the hospital, he had always been of opinion that it should be in the work , house. There was no necessity to go to the expense of 2001. or 11001. for an iron hospital, whilst other pariah an , thoritica were converting parts of their houses into cholera , wards. The Sanitary Committee, which was composed of sixty gentlemen, were all actively employed to prevent 6 the visitation of the epidemic, and at that moment the parish was in a more healthy state than it had been for some years previously at the wane season of the year. The resolution having been seconded and corriad, • depu tation 1114 appointed to wait upon the Suiten/Committee and represent the views of the meeting. Yesterday atternoein another meeting of tankers, merchants, and clergymen in the Citp was hel4 at the Manton-house, for the purpose of raising • f wad, with a view to measures for arresting, if possible, the spread of cholera, and relieving the consequent distress. The Lord Mayor presided on the occasion, and there were present— Mr. Thos. Baring, M.P. ; Sir Mordaunt Wells ; Mr. Joseph Hoare ; Mr. Glyn ; Mr. R. N. Fowler; Mr. W. J. R. Cotton ; Mr. R. B. Wade ; Mr. R. Wipien ; Dr. Clarke ; Rev. A. B. Suter Bishop-designate of Nelson, New Zealand ; Rev. Frederick G. Blomtleld ; Rev. William lingers ; and many other persons of consideration in the City. A long conversation took place as to the manner in which the fund and the mate rials which are being raised and collected should be administered, and in the result • motion pro- posed by Rev. T. G. Blomfield was carried to the effect that the fund be used for the prevention of cholera, for the relief of cholera patients, and of sufferers from the effects of cholera, and that the funds be distributed as far as possible through local boards and committees. At the instance of the Lord Mayor, a general committee for the management of the fund was funned, composed of all the gentlemen present, and a sub or working committee, the latter of which is to ineet daily at the Mansion-house to receive and consider applications for relief from local authorities. The matter has been taken up with great spirit in the City, and by the Lord Mayor and the crest of the gentlemen who have &emaciated themselves with him, and there can be no doubt that • very considerable sum will be raised for the humane objects for which they have put themselves in motion. The authoress of " English Helots and Hands" appeals for contributions for a "Convalescent H osp ital for Cholera Patients." This home, which will be placed in the country, will be opened in • day or two, under the superintendence of the Rev. Thomas Scott, chaplain, and in connexion with the committee of the Loudon licepitaL Mr. Scott, at the Loudon Hospital, and the writer, at Beckenham rectory, will receive snineriptions. Amongst the sub scribers already is the Duke of Sutherland, 1001. The precaution recently advised of having the spring and river water drunk in large business houses by the em ployes submitted to disinfection by boiling has been adopted in several City establishments I I, THE EXECUTION AT STAFFORD. The following are the details of the terrible scene at the execution at Stafford yesterday morning : At S o'clock the procession had reached the scaffold. With mon than customary deliberation the executioner (Smith of Dudley) placed the noose over the head of the pinioned man, and drew over his face the white cap. Whilst the clergyman was still reading the service the hangman lowered the drop with a jerk. There was imere. diately *cry of "The man is down—the rope has broken." This proved to be true. Collier fell to the ground, and the end of the halter, liberated suddenly, swung back upon his shoulders like a whip. For an instant there was dismay both upon and inside the scaffold erection. The executioner was for a moment incapable. Hs ran down the steps and beneath the platform, and found Collier upon his feet, leaning against the side of the hoarding, the cap still over his face, and the rope mad his neck. He seemed to be nnoonecious, and the executioner turned back again, not knowing what to do. The assistant warden, however, seemed instantly to un derstand what had happened. Whilst one ran into the prison to procure a new halter, the other directed Smith to take the broken rope from off the culprit's neck. The ex ecutioner bad now regained hisself-possession. He quickly removed the repefrom Collier's neck, set him upriOt, and drew the cap from his face. The poor fellow, partially recovered, was reputing barely audibly ' the reeponees to the prayers which the clergyman, quickly following the executioner from the scaffold /nor, had begun again to read aloud in the ears of the seemingly penitent man. Collier was exceedingly pale, and the tightened rope bad left a red streak round a portion of his neck. lie, however, seemed concerned with nothing but the utterance of his prayers, which be appeared to be mere anxious to repeat than he was before he ascended the scaffold. While this was going on below, another rope was placed under the beam. The the condemned, the clergyman, and t/ signal for an outburst ed is nation. out "Simms I" and booted.
