GUILDII ALL Yesterday, Mr. Bridger Lidbetter, who stood com pitted, on Saturday, for re-examination, charged with an offence under the Act of the 4th Geo. I. cap. 11, upon which the famous Jonathan Wild was convicted and executed, for taking money under pretence of help ing persons to get back stolen property, was brought up for re-examination. The Cm SOLICITOR gave it as his opinion, that the evidence already produced against Mr. Lidbetter was sufficient to warrant hii commitment. Mr. Alderman Cox was satisfied on the subject, and thought that the conduct of the low. street Officers in this affair was not free from suspicion ; and then handed to the City Solicitor the bill, of which the fol lowing is a copy; " Public Office, Bow-street. " 1824. 27th October.—William Salmon and Peter Perry attending on NI .Charleswurth and Crampin, respecting their warehouse being broken into and robbed of a I trge quantity of silk goods ; going to va firms places in London, and making inquiries, to endea vour to recover hack the dbove goods, and reporting every day to the above Gentlemen, and 31r. Lidbet ter, their friend. Nov.—Eleven clafs time for S tlmon and Perry, at 10s. 6d. each, per day Lll 11 0 •v Expenses for information on the shove, oue-horse chaise, coach hire, Ike. - 10 0 0 " Settled per cheque - - J.:21 II 0 a WM. SALMON, PETER PERRY." This is the account for which, as already stated, they received a cheque for 30!. •l'he City Solicitor would not pronounce decisively upon this document, ald the Alderman expressed his determination to submit it, and the whole conduct of the Bow-street officers, in thus taking upon themselves to interfere with the police of the City, to the next Court of Aldertnen. Mr. Lidhetier, who now seemed to feel the serious situation in whiAh he stood, said, that though it might he general) qrrect, there were several things wrong in it. He had never undertaken to give any money to the thieves or anybody else for the goods. All he said to Ikey Solomon was, 4. You try to get the goods, and we will see what Ts to be done. This gentleman," said he turning to Mr. Cratnpin, " knows I said, if we get the goads we will never pay them a penny.' Did not I say so to you, Sir?" Mr. Crampia—No. You certainly said you wished you could get them back for us for'nothing, but that you would get them for us for as little as you could. Mr. Humphreys attended as Solicitor for Mr. Lid better, and contending that the prisoner was not charged with a capital offence, said he was entitled to bail. The clerks were employed in completing the formal documents, when Mr. Crampin stepped forward and said Mr. Lidbetter had just threatened him, that if he proceeded in this prosecution, it would be the worst day's work he had ever done. Mr. Alderman Cox expressed great indignation at such conduct in a Court,of Justice, and in the presence of the Magistrate; and be hoped Mr. Cram pin would do his dirty to the public, and not be deterred by any such threatening language. Mr. Lidbetter:—l did not mean it as a thteat: I only meant he would be acting very wrong and very unjustly towards me. He knows I did nothing but under the direc tion of him and his partner. Mr. Charlesworth knows it. Mr. Charlesworth, who bad silently assented to be bound over with ►Mr. Crampin to prosecute, on this second appeal, said—l do think it very cruel to prose cute Mr. Lidbetter. He has doue nothing but what Mr. Crampin and myself knew, and he did everything in his power to get us back the goods. Mr. Humphries examined Mr. Charlesworth at great length. after this examination, The CITY SOLICITOR declined having Mr. Charles worth bound over to prosecute, and he was accord. ingly released from his recognizance. Since the dissolution of partnership, Buddle, the clerk, has remained with Mr. Charlesworth. He made out the list of the goods stolen, to be shewn to Solomon; and as he had once been to Ikey Solomon, with a note from Salmon ) the Bow-meet officer, his deposition was thought necessary, and he was accordingly bound over to give evidence. The CITY SOLICITOR then settled the legal form of the commitment; and Mr. Lidbetter, for taking thirty sovereigns under the pretence of helping Messrs. Charlesworth and Crampin to ceitain goods and chattels 'Stolen from them, he not having apprehended the felon who stole the same, nor caused stich lelon to be brought to trial, nor given evidence against him, was accordingly conveyed by Hawkins, the Marshalman ) to Newgate for trial. As in the course of the inVestigation about to take place into this mysterious affair, the wi iter of the anony mous letters may probably be discovered, it may not be unimportant to state their contents. They were written apparently in a female hand, and were as follows : " you have a woman taking in the name of Beckwith, no dout but she can give you proper information : for I have seen her in Wood-street to or the night. She is at Mrs. Crowder, or she nose ware to find hur. You must say you come from the coun try, and then she will send fur bur. I shall be thaer at the Hall. " Yours, Panora " This was addre,sed to Mr. Jones, who has the ground floor warehouse in the house in \Vood•street, where Messrs. Charlesworth and Crampin's warehouse was. it has the post marks, " Colernan•street," and "four o'clock, Oct. 28, 1824." " SUR—In the letter I wrote to you I forgot to say that the woman was with one of Charles Crowder's palles, and she is some times with him.

EXECUTION O' MR. PAUNTLERdr. , Since the time ofthe unfortunate Dr. Dodcl, ieho.wa executed in 1777. no case of forgery has excited so much interest as that of Mr. Fauntleroy. Both were in a re spectable rank in life, and great efforts were made to save both of them ; the public sympathy was no doubt stronger on behalf of Dr. Dodd, into the reason why it was so, it is not now necessary to inquire; the petitions. in behalf of Mr. Fauntleroy were signed by 13,000 persons. In the case of Dr. Dodd, the petition for mercy was signed by upwards of seventy thousand persons, and occupied twenty-three skins of parch ment. Men dressed in mourning went from house to house inviting signatures; and even the Lord Mayor and Corporation went up in a body to invoke the Royal clemency, which would, no doubt, have been granted, had it not beeis . represented to his Majesty that in a commercial country it was necessary to visit forgery with capital punishment. Since that period, numerous indeed have been the victims to the severity of the law. The last of these,-Mr. Henry Fauntleroy, met his fate this morning, and unappalled by one of the awfullesti spectacle, that can be exhibited, the metropolis poured forth its thousands to witness it. Even last night, hun dreds of persons were assembled in front of Newgate, some of whom, we are assured, remained all night, in order to secui e places near the scaffold. On Saturday, Mr. Fauntleroy's sister visited him, and although the interview was mutually distressing, yet it proven a source of great satisfaction to him afterwards. He was visited yesterday by his son, and his brother ; Mi. Forbes, Mr. MA y hew, aid his kind and excellent reli gious instructor, the Rev. Mr. Springett, who was with him during the whole of the day, and who attots•ied him to tl:e scaffold. Much having been said on the subject of its being the duty of Mr. Fauntleroy, before he left the world,to afford a complete developement of every circumstance connected with the affairs of the banking-' house which might be involved in any intricacy, one, of his friers had some communication with him on, this point, when he declared that he had already given all the information that he supposed would be important; yet be was ready to enter into every explanation that might be required, although, considering himself on the borders of eternity, be could have desired that his thoughts might be as much as possible abstracted from the concerns of the present life. It was intimated to him that there existed certain difficulties in the accounts which it was in his power alone to elucidate ; he replied, that if the books were brought, he would cheerfully devote one of the few hours which remained to him, for the purpose of throwing light upon parts of them that had lii:lierto been obscure. The books were accordingly yesterday sent for ; and sitting down with his solicitor, with very remarkable composure, he entered into the detail of each circumstance that required explanation, with that clearness which he hoped would be well un derstood, and deemed satisfactory. Throughout yes terday he maintained an extraordinary measure of self possession and serenity. This morning, almost before day-light, the great leading thoroughfares of Holborn. the Strand, Fleet street, St. Paul's Church-yard, and Smithfield, were thronged by persons of eve'? class of society, hurrying forward in one general body to catch a glimpse of the final conclusion of the existence of ;his unfortunge cri minal. Many hundreds of the mass that assembled could not even obtain a sight of. thi scaffold, and those who did succeed in getting near theylatform, evidently suffered much from the tremendous pressure occasioned by the crux d. THE OLD BAILEY. At four o'clock, immense barriers of wood were erected across the streets leading into the Old Bailey, in addition to the usual chains; this precaution was suggested by the City Marshals, to whom the arrange ments at the exterior of the prison were entrusted. They, it will be remembered, on the morning of the execution of Thistlewood and others, on the Ist May, 18'20, adopted similar precautionary measures, and, indeed, the preparations were nearly the same, with the exception of the immense military force which it was: thought necessary to have in the ♦icinity of Newgate on that occasion. The Marshals also, foreseeing the consequences of a violent pressure, stationed bodies of Police at various positions, to regulate, if pos sible, the crowd which continued arriving from an ex ceedingly early hour. Some persons took up their stations at the barrier within which the Marshal's and officer: stand, and in the centre of what is termed the " Debtors'-door" of the gaol the scaffold was erected. In order to prevent any intruders into this circle, which on this occasion extended nearly sixty yards from the scaffold in each direction, constables were stationed the whole of the night; but by a gratuity well applied many who did not like the pressure got within the bar rier. The windows commanding views of the scaffold, according to the contract of those who had paid sums, varying from Si. to 7s. 6d. were occupied by six o'clock, and those who had engaged and paid the money, and who were not able to get through the crowd, lost their view, which it is needless to say was eagerly occupied by others; all those windows extending from the St. Sepulchre's Church end of the Old Bailey, as far as the Sessions• House Court-' yard, were crowded by seven o'clock. At this mo ment the scene was indeed one which might call forth animadversion, as in the midst of the crowd op posite the jail, no less than three pugilistic rencontres took place—whether set on foot by ruffians for the pur poses of plunder, or caused by the angry feeling for situations in individuals, it is difficult to say—but cer tainly the dreadful uproar they occasioned, displayed that the awful example to public justice, in the person of a man who had once shone in a sphere of great re spectability, and of practised commercial talents and knowledge, had but little if any effect on the minds of the crowd. We have stated that the windows in the Old Bailey were threiged, and we will now proceed to describe the PROCEEDINGS WITHIN THE PRISON. At seven o'clock last evening, Mr. Fautitleroy was waited upon by the Rev. Mr.BpLingett, who was re ceived by him with evident marks of composure. After some conversa!ion on trifling matters, the subject was changed to religion, and the question of the transi tion from life to eternity was discussed. The Re verend Clergyman pointed out the sacred maxims of religion from the Revelations, and the tinfoil: Gentleman answered in a manner that displayed perfect conviction and hope in the sacred trig' Christianity, and reliance that the awful trans which he was about to make, would be one, he said, " displaying the mercy of GOD, even in the hour, to the guilty penitent." He was assisted, eleven o'clock at night, in his devotions, by the Ordinary, Mr. Baker, Mr. Springett, and another the unfortunate rat cignt sp c nick, UIC iialigusait 4114.1 1111 47..b/Stollll. as- st I , cended the scaffold.

Mr- I iota in the evening. - . . vidual t it that hoot he toot some terresttnent, and paced his apartment for a short time; he then sat down, and for a considerable time occupied himself i❑ prayer, reading occasionally from the Bible and a Prayer Book: he was then asked if he would take any rest? he asked permksion to retire for an hour, and having composed himself on a bed, fell into a dozed which did ndt last long ; he awoke in some alarm, and again fell asleep, aid by five o'clock was up at prayer, having had but very trifling and most uneasy sleep. He was joined by the Reverend Gentlemen whom we have before named, and quitted his apartment with them for the Ward-room, over the Press-yard, where tea was provided. He drank a Cup of tea, and again entered into prayer, not in the least abstracted ; but as the chimes struck the hours, a languor evidently gained over his spirits, and his manner became de pressed—he did not, however, lose that steady sere nity and calmness of demeanour which he preserved to the last moment. In speaking of himself and his ho?es of eternity, he expressid his lull confidence in the mercy of GOD ; and observed upon the unfortunate state of mind in which he had laboured for so long a period, compared to his present happiness. In answer to a question put to him, he spoke of his doom as very just, obl.erying, he now plainly perCeived that he fully merited his fate. In this manner, and in similar declarations, did he employ himself with his Reverend attendants for three hisurs, and at seven o'clotk, appeared to he sinking into a deep state of inanimation. He received the last offices of religion composedly and quietly, but still his man ner bespoke the deepest depression. The applicants for admission were as numerous as they appeared to be highly respectable. But the She riffs, Aldermen Brown and Key, had given conclu sive directions not to permit airy persons whatsoever, but a Reporter from each Morning and Evening News paper, to have access to the interior of the Prison ; and, in order to act strictly up to the letter of their decision, they determined upon not - allowing any of their own private friends to accompany them; this resolution was most strictly adhered to. . . The immense s multitude, during the awful ceremony, conducted themselves orderly, ani dispersed quietly.— We did not hear of any accident having occuiredZbut the offence; were numerous; and several persas were stripped of their watches, money, &c. by the pick pockets, who were extremely active. EXTERIOR OF THE PRISON. The walls were literally covered, and wherever a hold or footing could be obtained, persons of respectable ap pearance were seen clinging : from the slender state of the holding, many of them fell and experienced severe contusions; however, the places were quickly occu pied by others, and a disgraceful scene of contention was gcing forward,which, from the density of the crowd, could not be checked. As far as the eye could reach, looking from the scaffold towardsLudgate-hill, nothing was visible but one immense forest of heads : and such was the greatness of the assembled thousands, that they frequently appeared to wave in every direction. Such was the uproar at seven o'clock, that it was thought some dreadful accidents would have occurred; however, the mob became more domposed as the hour of eight approached. The scaffold was erected in the course of the night, and at five'b'clock in the morning the executioner as cended the platform and fastened the chain-link and rope to the' cross beam, and then retired. The remain der of the morning was occupied as we have stated, and in'addition to which, we can add, that some desperate robbeiies were committed, but whether the offenders were secured or not, did not come to our knowledge. At half-past six o'clock the Reporters were admitted into the vestibule of the prison, they were in number about twenty for the different Newspapers. Mr. Wont ner, the worthy and highly respectable Governor of the Prison addressed them, and stated his orders to be that only one from each Paper could be admitted, but if there were more than one from any Newspaper, as a matter of convenience, he would allow the Gentleman to pass through his house, to a convenient place outside, within the railing, where he could note down any cir cumstances that occurred. The Gentlemen thanked him, and four of them availed themselves of this kind offer. After remaining in the lobby until ten minutes to eight o'clock, Mr. Alderman Brown, attended by his officers, bearing wands, came through the passages, and being informed that the group of persons assembled attended for the Press, directed them to be allo wed , to pass on to the cells, Mr. Alderman Key and his Under. Sheriff followed almost immediately, and instead, as was the usual practice, of going into the Press Room, the She riffs proceeded past the condemned cells, up a flight of stairs into the Ward-room, where the unfortunate Gen tleman was sitting near the fire, engaged in deep medi ' tation. On the room door being opened by the turnkey, he raked his eyes and stood up, leaning en Mr. Baker and Mr. Springett, who administered to him spiritual con solation, while the Rev. Ordinary, in a very feeling and affecting manner, read the prayers for the dead. The Sheriffs, Mr. Wontner, &c. having entered, Mr. Faunt leroy advanced a few paces and bowed to them, and returned to his attendants ; here a very great change in his manner was apparent: he shook off the stupor which had come over him,and stood calmly erect and composed, but immediately closed his ayes, and relapsed into his former state; he was neatly dressed in black, with shoes and silk stockings, and had a very gentlemanly appearance. Some few minutes being' occupied in prayer, he was led to the fire-place, and the officers of the Sheriff pinioned his arms and hands. This' ceremony being completed, Mr. Baker and Mr. Springett, each took his arm, and the Sheriffs quitted the room, followed by the Rev. Mr. Cotton, and next by Mr. FAD ntleroy, who still kept his eyes closed,and was led forward scarcely conscious of the passing scene. --On walking through the passages, the heavy and deep sound of the funeral bell suddenly struck on his ear, and appeared to arouse him ; he exclaimed, " Oh !, my GOD, have mercy ! Heaven have mercy on me!" and then seemed to make an endeavour to pray, but his lips failed to produce utterance ; his step was, how ever, still firm, and his manlier composed. lie did not appear in the least ruffled. The Rev. Ordinary read aloud the sublime prayer of the Apostle Paul, beginning " i am the Resurre6tion and the Life," and continued reading the Burial Ser vice until he assisted Mr. Fattntieroy on to the scaffold. At eight o'clock, the hangman and his assistant as. -tdi 'Spfingett attended fhb Mat itatold. wife of f icers with white wands next appeared on the step% and retired on one side, to make way for the Rev. Mc: Cottons the Ordinary, who led np, assisted by Mre. Baker, the unfortunate culprit, who stepped on the platform scarcely animated; indeed his manner evinced more cf tkir — cnechanical march,, evidently scarcely con sciool of the passiiig scene;—his eyes were closed, and his countenance was deadly pale. On being placed en the ccaffnid he opened his eyes for a moment, and seized Mr. Baker's hand with a cunvul.ive grasp ; but evidently somewhat revived by the freshness of the air, after a moment's hesitation he advanced firmly and - • quickly to the middle of the platform, and from the movement if his lips seemed to be engaged in earnest prayer, he raised his pinioned a ms and hands once or twice, as if in suopl'cation.—The executioner proceeded to cover his head vri:h the cap, and tied his . hitio-neck- Irindkei chief over his eyes, and then adjusted the rope. The Itev. Mr. Cotton during this time was occupied in reading the conclusion of the burial service. The unfortunate sufferer stood firmly, and seemed to he praying with great fervour; the executioner soon concluded his preparations, and descended from the slatform. The Rev. Mr. Baker and Mr. Cotton retired from the criminal it few paces, and, after an agonising moment, occupied in prayer, a signal appeared to be given, the drop fell, and the world closed on him for ever. He struggled, in great agony, for. a few seconds, an i for some minutes was convulsed. The Sheriffs did not enter the lobby leading to the. scaffold, but having seen the unfortunate culprit placed on the platform, immediately retired into Mr. Wontner's house, evidently much affected. Mr. Springett left the scaffold almost immediately on Mr. Fauntleroy's ascending. On the drop falling s the Rev. Mr. Cotton and Mr. Baker returned into the jail. After the body bid hung for an hour, it was cut down, and carried into a room adjoining the lobby. So intense was the public curiosity to witness the execution of Mr. Fauntleroy, that all the houses in t►e Old Bailey, that had the least view of the fatal scaffold, were let for the accommodation of indi viduals, from the first Muni to the parapet, and upon payment of the admission fee, they were presented with a ticket, to which wits affixed a black seal. The following is a correct statentent of the prices taken and demanded : At the King. of Denmark public-house—First-floor, from 12s. to 14s. second-floor, from Bs. tb 10s. third-their, front 5s to 61. and parapet of the house, 2s. 6d. each person. At Mr. Luttman's, the corn-chandler, which is exactly opposite the fatal door, the prices were iigher—The &it floor, from 18s. to 20s. second, from 15s. toles. third, from 12s. to 14s. and the roof, ss. Wingrave's eating-house, next door, was let out at the same rate as Mr. Luttman's, as also was that of Mr. Mullins, the broker. Applications for places were yesterday made every moment at the houses, and the applicants paid the fee without saying a word. In • some instances, as much as a sovereign was given by each persosi: and a first floor was engaged by a private party at the price of twenty pounds.
