'huge. EXECUTION AT MAIDSTONE. (THIS DAT) The extreme sentence of the law was carried into effect this morning at half-past 10 o'clock upan Thomas Wells, a culprit, who only attained his eighteenth year in March last, and the occasion wan rendered more remarkable from the fact that it was the first execution that had taksit place in private, or, in accordance with the terms of the act of parliament, " within the prison wa11,,," and in the presence of such functionaries of the law as are referred to in the statute. The crime for which the prisoner suffered was murder of a very aggravated character. lie was employed as a por ter at the Priory Station of the London, Chatham, cud Dover Railway Company at Dover, and, in consequenoeof Mr. Walsh, the unfortunate gentleman who lost his life by his hands, and who occupied the position of station master at the Priory, reprimanding him for some ait of misconduct, the prisoner deliberately took a gun from his father's house, carried it a considerable distance to the station, and, without any provocation, shot him dead. There was also the additional aggravation in the case that the prisoner threatened, several days before the oc currence, that he would kill the deceased if he interfered with him. After his trial, the culprit seemed to have been fully aware that there was no hope for him, anal he appeared quite prepared for the inevitable result, but he ex pressed remorse for the act he had committed, and wrote a very penitent letter to Mrs. Walsh, the widow of the deceased, entreating her forgiveness. No efforts appear to have been made in any quarter to obtain a re17168'013 of the capital sentence. • Au interview that took place between the culprit and his father, an aged man, who gains his livelihood us a fiAerman at Deal, was of a very dis tresring character. When the time for parting arrived, the poor old man fell down in a fit, and was rallied away by the warders. His wretched son bore up pretty well until this occurred, and he then fell into a violent pamxybm of grief. An almost equally distressing interview took place between the prisoner and a young woman who occupied a very respectable position at Dover, and to whom he was about to be married. The scaffold was erected in a small yard adjoining the debtors' portion of the gaol, which had at one time been used as an exercising yard for the prisoners. It is en. cloaca by four high walls. The apparatus is the same that was formerly made nee of, with some slight alterations. The drop is on • perfect level with the stone paving of the yard, and the execu tioner has to descend several stone steps to remove the bolt which supporta the platform, and the latter then drops into a recess prepared for it. This apparatus is intended to be a permanent fixture in this portion of the prison, but when not required it is intended to screen it from eight by having it closed in with moveable shutters. It was, of course, generally known that the execution was to take place to-day, but as it was also known that it would be conducted in private, and that the only sign of the dreadful proceeding would be the hoisting of a black flag outside the prison wall, at the moment of the falling of the drop, there were very few, if any, strangers in the vicinity of the prison, and the town pre sented quite its ordinary appearance. Small parties of the inhabitants were observed conversing together, ap parently upon the spectacle that was passing within the walls of the prison ; but the town generally presented a marked and extraordinary contrast to that which it has exhibited upon previous occasions when executions have taken place in public. No one was present at the execution but the under-, sheriff, governor, sergeant, chaplain, and tho representa tives of the press. The culprit prayed fervently with the Rev. Mr. Frazer, the chaplain, for a few seconds, and as the drop fell, he was singing, with a loud clear voice, the 486th hymn. He appeared to die after two or three convulsive struggles. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A MILITARY OFFICER. At tho Portsmouth Police-court on Pueeday, Capt. William Henry Bell, of the 67th Regiment, sta tioned at Anglesea Barracks, Forbes, was charged with having committed a rape upon the person of Elizabeth Stanley, a girl eighteen years of age. The prisoner's wife was present during the hearing of the case. The proeecutrix said that she bad been general servant to the prisoner, who resided at Aubrey-villas, Southsea. About half-past 4 o'clock on the previous Friday after noon her mistress, the nursemaid, and the male servant being out, the prisoner called her, and she went up to answer his call. He was standing in the dining and he took hold of her round the waist and kissed her. She tried to get away, but could not do 50, and he led her towards the sofa, upon which he placed Ler. She told him she would tell her mistress, and to leave off. He said he was not hurting her; he was only playing with her t and he would make her a handsome present. She said, "I don't want your present." She was so far exhausted with the heat that she could not re member what she was doing with her hands. She had been struggling with him for about ten minutes up to this time. The prosecutrix then gave evidence as to the perpetration of the offence, which she said was against her will. After the offence had been committed there was a knock at the door, and the prisoner got up. She said nothing to him, but ran to the door and let her mistress in. She took no notice of her, but walked straight in, and asked where the captain was. Isreeecutrix said she did not know and went down into the kitchen. About an hour afterwards her master and mistress went out. She spoke to the nursemaid on the subject as soon as she came in, and she also told the man servant when he came in, which was about hall an hour after the nursemaid. She also sent for her sister and told her, and the same evening she told her mistress. The next morning she walked to Fareham, and told her mother about it, and the latter returned with her to Southsea, and saw her master and mistress. In cross-examination the prosecutrix said that, with the exception that her petticoat was tom out of the gathers, her clothes were not injured. She had no bruises about her. She was in the parlour with the prisoner altogether about a quarter of an hour, and was struggling with all her force during that time. • . . The prosecutax's mother deposed to the nature of the interview with the prisoner. She said to him, Oh, sir, what have you done to my child Y " and ho made no answer. She said, " Did she ever give you any liberties to reuse you to use her in the way you have " He said, " No, far from it. She suits our house very well, and mwife is very much pleased with her . She said, "'What did you think you had in your house F. Did you think you had a prostitute r' He said, " No, far from that. Pray don't say anything more about it ; I'll be a friend to her. Pray let her remain ; it will be such a dis grace " but she refused to do so, and took her away. Mr. J. Slight, surgeon, deposed to haying examined the prosecutrix, and found indications of connection having taken place, but there were no marks of violence. In cross-examination, the witness said he found no indica tions such as would arise from a young girl wrestling with the prisoner. If she had done so he should have expected to find external marks of violence. Other evidence having been gi ven, Mr. basin. , solicitor, of ortsea, said the prisoner utterly and entirely repudiated the charge, but admitting, for the sake of argument, that the girl's evidence was true, he urged that the girl had not offered sufficient re sistance to constitute the offence, and that, at most, it was not more than a case of seduction. For the defence, Elizabeth Ryan, the prvw s nurse. maid, was called. She said—Prosecutrix had tea as usual with her on the afternoon in question, and appeared in good spirits. Her cheek was just little red, and she asked her if anything ailed her, and she told her " Nothing." She said to her, " You are very hot," and the prosecutrix replied, "It's the heat of the weather." She did not tell her of this matter until after her sister had first told her. The magistrates committed the prisoner for trial at the assizes, but accepted bail, himself in 500/. an. two sureties in 24.50/. each. A shocking accident occurred at Llandudno on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Robert Stratton, of Manchester, in company with a friend from Newcastle, was walking round the Great Orme's Head, just below the church of St. Tudno, when, in looking over the edge, he over balanced himself and fell upon the rocks beneath. Some time elapsed before he could be reached. A boat was sent from Llandudno, and the unfortunate MAIL was found dead. ---- ----- Another horrible ease of wife murder is reported from Liverpool. Some angry words passed between a coal heaver named Howard and his wife, when, seizing a table knife, he thrust it into her mouth, severing the carotid artery, and occasioning instantaneous death. He has been sen t trial for wilful murder. . _ A most destructive fire has been raging for some days on the Hollow Meadows, near Redmire, border ing the Yorkshire and Derbyshire moors, the property of the Dukes of Norfolk and Rutland, and the moors of the Bradfield Game Association. The moors in the Hebden Bridge district have also been on fire. Shooting prospects are thus much damaged, hundreds of heads of game having been burnt to death. _ . 011 Friday an old wan in Devonshire was m aned in clearing furze, and had set fire to some to hasten his work. The smoke overpowered him and renderei him senseless, and while in this state the flames reached him, rind he was burned to death.

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1868. A BARONET'S SON CHARGED WITH ARSON. At Chester Assizes yesterday, before Mr. Justice Smith, Richard Charles Percy dethin, eldest son of Sir Richard Gethin, Bart., was indicted for setting Are to a certain part of a plantation called Ford-hiU Plantation, the property of Robert Vyner, Esq.. at Bidston, on the 18th of May. The witnesses examined gave evidence a 4 follows: William Bury, tollgate-keeper, and John Roberts, lodge-keeper to Mr. Inman, both spoke to the pri soner passing through the tollgate about ton minutes to 4 on the afternoon in question, and going into the planta tion. They saw the plantation on tire in about half an hour after; David Jones and George 'Lindley spoke to prisoner running away from the fire as they were hastening to it. Police-constable Patrick Roche stated that on proceed ing to arrest the prisoner at his housa,on the day fol lowing the lire, the latter mid that he knew that the officer bad come about the tire. Likewise that prisoner denied having set the plantation on tire, and stated that he saw two boys—one a sandy-haired boy with a white jacket, and the other dressed in dark clothes—set fire to the plantation. John Walton, woodman to the prosecutor, deposed that at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the 18th May there was no person in the neighbourhood of the plantation. In cross-examination by Mr. Giffard this witness stated that two boys answering exactly to the description of the boys spoken of by the prisoner had been convicted for setting fire to the gorse near Didston lighthouse. Ilis lordship hero stopped the case, remarking that the boys would have had plenty of time to set both places on fire, and directed the jury to find a verdict of acquittal. The prisoner was consequently liberated. LONDON AND SOUTH WBSTERN ReutWAY. (THIB DAY) This day the half-yearly meeting of shareholders was held at the Waterloo Terminus; Mr. BUNGLE!) in the chair. The report having been taken as read, The Crisrititsx, in moving its adoption, said that he hoped the accounts and report would be considered satisfactory. They were the only company in the me tropolis, he believed, that increased its dividend in the past half-year. The question between capital and revenue met with the greatest consideration, both from the beard and the auditors, and they adjusted as fairly as they could the interests of the present and future. (Hear, hear.) The steel rails were now paid out of revenue. The capital expenditure-this. year was only 38,000/., as compared with 139,0001. last year, being a saving of 100,000/. The board would do all they could to keep down the capital account. The works in progress would, he hoped ! be finished by next November, except the Aldershot line ; and there was no intention of engaging in any new works. The net revenue for the half-year available for dividend was 166,0001., out of which they propos& to distribute 18.5,0001., carrying over 11,000/. This would give a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent per annum. The net increase of traffic in the half-year was 22,6971. The Chairman proceeded to ex plain the different items of the expenditure account. He was happy to say that there existed a good feeling between them and the Brighton and the South Eastern boards—(hear, hear)—and as a consequence of that he hoped that the Charing-cross and Cannon-street sta tions would be accessible to passengers arriving at Water loo from all parts of the company's system. The company was relasedfrom the obligation to make the Ilfracombe Railway, and the parliamentary deposit had been released. With regard to the future he thought their prospects were good. The motion having been seconded, the report was adopted. KENT COAST RAILWAY. (MIS DAY.)- The 22nd half-yearly meeting of th is company was hel the offices, Great Winchester-buildings, to-day, Mr. Harvey, M.P., in the chair. The adoption of the report, which has already been published, was moved by the chairman, and, it having been duly seconded,, Mr. Humphries moved as an amendment that a committee of five shareholders unconnected with the Chatham and Dover Company either as stock, preference, or debenture holders, be appointed to consult with the directors as to the present condition and future prospects of the company, and as to the best way of extricating it from its difficulties. The amendment was seconded by Mr. Vincent, but rejected on a division, and the motion affirming the report was agreed to. A special meeting 'was afterwards held, at which a resolution was adopted authorising the creation of a perpetual fi ve per cent, debenture stock in lieu of the existing terminable debentures. EAST LONDON BARB. —(Tula Day.}—At an ex traordinary meeting of this company, held to-day at the London Tavern, Mr. C. S. Butler, M.P., presiding, the following special resolutions, passed at the ordinary general meeting of the shareholders, held on the 28th July, 1868, were confirmed :—let. That the name of the com pany henceforward be The London Bank (Limited). 2. That the company mar at any time, by special resolution, reduce its capital by diminishing the amount payable on its shares, or otherwise, and that the regulations of the company be altered ac cordingly. Mr. Seamen wanted to know whether they would be acting within the strict letter of the law in assuming the title of the London Bank, seeing that the Bank of London was still in existence. The Chairman stated that an eminent counsel, whose attention bad been directed to matters connected with public com panies, had been consulted on the subject, and he enter tained no doubt as to the perfect legality of the new title. PRINCE ARTlitit AT MIDDLESBOROUOI7.—His Royal Highness left Middlesborough about 2 a.m. 3.es tertlav, and was conveyed by special train to Darling ton. "He left by the 3.61 train for Scotland. His Royal Highnees, it is understood, would have prolonged his visit but for his anxiety to be on the moors at as early a period as possible. He was at a ball at Marton Hall up to the time of his d ep arture. The entertainment was given in a splendid pavilion erected on the lawn adjoining Marton Hall, and alarge and fashionable company from the North Riding of Yorkshire and the county of Durham had assembled to meet the Prince. The reit hews s tates that the Bishop of Peterborough is dangerously ill ; that the Bishop of Beater is so much m epoeeu as to occasion serious anxiety •• and that the health of the Bishop of London, when he left re cently for the Continent, was by no means each as his friends could desire. The tenants of the Duke of Somerset, in Somer setahire, have received from Mr. H. B. resting, his grace's steward, an intimation that at the ensuing elec tion in East Somerset, they may " plow themselves, and exercise their own judgment as they think beet" with regard to their votes.—BatA Chronicle. AN INCIDENT FOR SwrserioN Novralerrs.—The Temps of Paris relates the following curious case : "About midnight on Monday Madame IP—, residing in the Faubourg St. Antoine, proceeded to burn a large packet of letters which, if discovered, would have revealed a liaises which she carried on for some time. She placed the letters in the gratv and then set fire to them. In a short time a loud noise was heard accompanied by an oath, and a tall thin man tumbled out of the chimney covered from head to foot with soot. Madame P. was terrified and shouted "Bobber" and " Help" at the top of her voice. The man made for the door and sought to escape, but the other lodgers were awake by this time, and stopped his egress, continuing to shout " Robber," " robber.' , It happened curiously enough that the police were in the house at the time engaged in pursuit of proof of an adulterous liaison between two persons in an upper story. They found the woman but not the man. The latter who heard the police coming, escaped up the chimney, and came down through that of his neighbour. The police recognised the man they were in search of. He no doubt intended to return the way he came as soon as he felt sure that the police had retired ; but the unexpected burning of the love letters of Madame P— disturbed his arrangements, and down he fell like an aerolite. The suspected parties were arrested." FAITH AND He tAN FRAILTY.—The West Sussex Gazelle says that at the Brighton races on Wednesday a party of nigger, were singing and playing in front of Lord Fenian' and one of them came round collecting. One of Lord ulett's party—Mr. Hiram Crawehaw— gave him what he supposed to be a sovereign, telling him that he bad no change, and that he wanted 19a. out of it. The man moved away, but came back and said, "It's a Frenchman," and on looking at the coin Mr. Crawahaw saw that he had given the man a Napoleon in mistake for a sovereign. Mr. Crawahaw then gave the man a sovereign, and instead of giving him the change the man made off. lie was on Friday, however, recognised by Lady Paulett with the same party at Lewes races, and was given into custody. The Brighton magistrates sent him to prison for six we iks with hard lahowr.

Another rural parson in the county beat this on Sunday, by attributing the continued hot weather to the wickedness of the nation in supporting Gladstone throughout in this measure ! but hinted thxt if the people supported good staunch churchmen—like one they had amongst them (indicating a tory squire and M.P. preeent)—at the next election, th ey would redeem themselves from the disgraoe under which they }lad fallen. —Ancestry Advertiser.
