~:lEctfloV, this morning the sentence of death was carried into eseeution in the front of Ness gate, upon John French, a ged 54, and John Williams, arid 23. These unhappy men were convicted at the last Or sober Sessions—the former of horse-ittaling, and 114 ° l ette r of house-breaking. The case against French was c l ea rly established on the trial. notseilstan,diog. he endeavoured, by the evidence uf his ass. a.1ad .17 rais ed age, to rebut the testimony adduce.l on the tof the prosecution. The horse in quo tion which W mi ged to Nlr. Mott, an attorney, at Muth Hadham, is Hertfordshire, was pu' into that Geotlemin's mea dow on the night of -the 23d of July last, and at ten* o'clock the next morning it was missing ; and it was di s covered that Mr. Mutt's stable had beeo broken into johe n ight. and-a beidle and s saddle carried away. Three day' afterwirds'Oelorse was found by Attfield and G ar ton. (Acme of .Worship -street, in French's , s ables, at 42, Chtsties Mews, Tottenham Court Road. • Frisch absconded, AO was out of 'the way 'a consi. doable time, but was .at length apprehended at Park pl a ce, Kennington, and he then admitted that • the stables *here the horse was found wire his... Addi,,s, that he had been paid by some person ll,* • week to keep out of the way. It was attempted to' he r eed by his son, that. tbe horse was brought to the ,stables during big father's absence. bye man named Th. scars Shaw; sesidingLin Osnaburgh-itreet, Neeriroaik who, he said left it at liirery.

The ustfortunate man, who was upwards of 50 years of age, had a wife and a largo:U[7l.ly of children. Williams, who, though a young man, has.. we be-. Wire, been long ,koown to the Police, was convicted on a charge of .entering the dsvelling•house of Mr. Marchint, of Field-lane, Holborn, on the night of the Bth ..t October last, and stealing a cash hos, c raining Bapk of England notes, and gold and silver • coin, to't amount of 401. besides trinkets and other articles.. A man of the name of Richards, a lodger in the house of Mr. Marchant !lewd a noise on the tiles of a shed ; adjoining the wait that divided the yard of Mr. Mareltant's house and the adjoinirg one. He put his head out of the back window, and saw Wil liams on the shed. On being asked what he wanted there? be said he was looking,for a dog, for which he, bad given half a guinea. Richards seeing him prepar ing•to get over the will into the yard of Mr. Mar cbasn's house, immediately went into the yard, when he found the prisoner had dropped into the water-butt. He helped him out, and another min came to his assistance, when they found the cash box, dtc. concealed under his coat. A watchman was called in, and be was taken to. the watchhouse , where, upon being searched, a complete set of apparatus for housebreaking, consisting of phosphorus box, matches, picklock keys, chisel, he. were found on his person. On his way to the watchhouse he made a desperate effort to escape. Since their condemnation, and even subsequently to the arrival of the warrant for their execution, the two unhappy men entertained strong hopes of a respite, and these delusive hopes were somewhat strengthened by the efforts of their families, who are said to be respect. able; and it was not until late yesterday that they de= silted, having no hope of success. That no respite of the es r ecutiou was intended, was made known to the keeper of Newgate by a fetter from the Secretary of State's Office last night, and Mr. Wostraut directly felt it his duty to apprise the unhappy men of the close approach of their fate. Fiends bore this intelligence with lot titade. This unhappy man had been attentive to.his religious exercises and the exhortations of the Ordinary, Mr. Camas, and to the pious advice of Mr. Beata, of the Tower. and was become sonsewhatla signed to his fate. Williams, although perfectly Mc table and attentive .to religious advice, could not for an instant contemplate the approach of deals ; he burst into tears, and bitterly lamented his unhappy fire; 'the Voice of religion was raised : to him, and his attention was directed to that Autscure Banta, who at the last moment would pardon the dying penitent,• and from whose sublime promise in the Revelations, be might look for succour and consolation. Williams, however, was disturbed and agitated, and about seven o'clock in the evening requsted to go down from the cell to the yard; and this being granted, the turnkey walked before him into the yard•next . the press-room, imagining that Williams was close behind him; but, on turning his bead. he observed the unhappy man climbing up a water clitoris, which is attached to the prison wall ; he' ran to him, bat before he could do any thing to prevent his intention Williams lost his hold, and fell to the ground. H e.i was instantly raised, and was found to be insensible. The prison surgeon was summor;ed, and bled ham in boils aims, when he partially recovered: it was the, discovered-that his sight ancle was dislocated, and his back injured.; however, the proper resto ratives were applied, and he was put to bed. .At halfspast seven o'clock the Sheriff and some offi cers arrived at the prison, and at a quarter to eight o'clock were conducted by Mr. CO ILE press mom. French was then brought from the cell, semis's- Pinkie by site Ordinary ; he walked with a firm, steady step, het looked dseadfully pale ; he shook hands with Mr. WONTNER; lie was tl en pinioned. Mr. Eraua asked him if he had anything to say ? His answer was, " nothing at all, Sir." The officers then con- Sleeted him to the extremeend of the room, and he sat dour upon a bench neer the fire. Williams was then twought in by four men, sitting in their arms; he was very weak, and could not stand, and the traces of weep ing were visible on biseouotenaace, which was wild and taggard in the extreme. lie made no obsesvati, , rs whatever while the officers were pinioning him, but groaned once or twice. The preparations here being complete, Fsenchled the way to the scaffold, and Wil liams was tarried after him. On reaching the Lobby, without which' the fatal engine of death stood, French itopped, and raising his voice in answer to a questi. a from Mr. BAKER, said, " 1 hope for mercy through she intercession of Coeur Janos. Loaw have mercy Jew me! Oh Goa receive my soul!" He repeated similar ejaculations while on the scaffold. Toe cap Was then drawn over his face. Williams was then brought out, and being nearly insensible, water was given . httn, and he seemed somewhat revived. The persons who were supporting him had consideiable difficulty in perfuming that duty, alter the execu tioner had gone thiough the office of adjusting the ropes, owing to the narrowness of the ledge of the suf. ; All bei jet jet Imeats • by r • .4.
