tx• ECU tION MU OF MARY HE HUSBAND. , WI FOR THE RDER OF This unhappy womaa paid the forfeit of her life at right o'clock this morning , in the Old Bailey. The street was crowded molt denseley, and it was generally believed that she would be brought outside the prison and drawn upon a hurdle to the scaffold: however, this was not the case; the preparations at the exterior Newgate were the same as upon all similarly sad oc casions, and in the interior of the prison such an ar rangement was made as to carry into full offer* the directions of the Statute, a small black chair, or hurdle. to which long ropes were affixed, being prepared fog the occit , ion. The unhappy woman, who, as will be seen from our p a per of Saturday, made an ample confession of her grill, has since then devoted all her time to penitential prayer. In this she has been assisted by the Ordinary, Mr. Cotton, and Mr. Baker, and although her tin* from the hour of condemnation has been :bon, yet she devoted herself unceasingly to entreaties to the Al- m ighty for mercy and pardon. Yesterday she was visited by her daughters, and the parting was most affecting. She passed an extremely restless night, frequently her moaning was most dis tressing. At a very early hour this morning she re ceived the sacrament, but as the hour of expiation ap proached, the unhappy woman groaned and cried with the urmoit bitterness, seemingly quite unable to con template the near approach of so dreadful a departure. A few minutes before eight o'clock, Mr. Sheriff Win chester and Sheriff Wilde, and their officals, attended at the prison, and were conduCted to a small room in one of the passages leading immediately to the scaffold. Here the hurdle was placed;; a short time after, low female moans, in the direction of the cells, announced tie approach of the unhappy woman. She was soon alter introduced moaning bitorty,and looking the very picture of distress and misery. Her arms to the elbows were bare and uncovered, and she wore an old spotted cotton frock. The sfficers placed her uptight in the hurdle, and commenced the operation of pinioning bet arms and hands, during which she groaned With the utmost anguish; she cried out once, 4 , Oh GOD ! Oh my God! Oh Omar, receive me r The remainder of her ob servations were io so low a tone as to be unintelligible. The officers haling pinioned her atms, she was set down in the hurdle, and drawn rapidly to the lobby, at the outside of which the scaffold was placed. The bell did not toll, indeed, upon all occasions of the execution of murdertrs, that is dispensed with, as is also the read lag of the burial service. She was placed on the drop a few minutes after eight. The unhappy woman, when in the hands of the executioner, continued her 1210:1111S with much appearance of anguish. When the execu tioner had performed his duty, he retired, and instantly the drop fell. She was violently convulsed for about two minutes before she died. Her body will be given to the surgeons for dissection. The crime in law of murdering a husband by a wife, is styled Pow Proditie, or Petit Treason, because the breach of civil or ecclesiastical connections, coupled with the murder, makes it a description of treason, the petit treason, however, being nothing more than an ag gravated degree of murder, and in the ancient gothic constitutions the crime is marked in the same class with crimes against the State and Sovereign. By the Statute of Edward HI. the crime of petit etta•on may happen three ways, by a wife killing bee losbmd, a servant his ~veer, or an ecclesiastical per sot (either secular or regular) his superior to whom he uses Faith and obedience ;And, if a wife be divorced and destroy her husband, she is equally regarded as a vileness and formerly women were berried for the crime, the Druids having handed down that mode of punishment, which, however, was abolished by the 25th and 30th of the late King, and all capital punish- Anal are by the same mode now. Execurion tit Pisala.—Maack the murderer of the Shepi mins of Tory, was executed on the 10th. About sir in the morning he awoke, and asked the keeper for his Prayer-book. A quarter of an hour after, a young man belonging to the benevolent society called to see him, and pray with him. At seven o'clock a door-keeper, accompanied by Gendarmes appeared to conduct him to the Conciergerie. The young .man who had not ceased to pray, mounted the sledge which removed bin. When they arrived at the Conciergerie, the ec cksiaqtic of that trison gave his spiritual assistance.— At four o'clock Ulbach mounted the fatal chariot. His limbs were weak and his features agitated, however, he refused to receive a handkerchief dipped in vinegar, rlffered by the executioner. At the foot of the scaffold he fell on his knees and made his last prayer. He t hen , mounted with firnmess,and in a few seconds was no more. DESTRUCTION oiDUPPLIN CASTLE BY FIRE. Finnan PARTICULAIte.—EarIy on Tingsday morn ler the alarm of fire was given at DuppUn Castle. The Earl and Comes+, with their family, had arrived there only the preceding der, and had retired early to rest.

The alarm was ~___- " wlgiven In time, and all the instates of the Castle escaped rw,asiraculassly, unhurt, but without being able to provide ° wankel with clothing. or to save any of the property in the 1 4" Port of the building. From the higher doors, the fire ex tabled downwards with anteing' rapidity, and those who were "f‘efed in endeavouring to save the property In the lower rooms, were driven by the flames from au room to another, ere they timid secure the valuable pictures mud furniture. There were "tints belonging to the Castle, but water could only be Procured for arum of them, until some hours afterwards, when workmen, who had been dispatched from the Castle, had suc ceeded in removing part of the banks of # lake at some ellw teem. By means of the only engine which could be worked, O fire was prevented from reaching one of the principal library apartments until the books were removed. About seven ',clock, assistance from Perth arrived. The Magistrates, who oieut out the moment the alarm reached the town, were accuse.

The difference between sea bathing and bathing in fresh water la more considerable than people are generally aware iireni of. Previous to experiment a difference might be expected what we know of the different natures of the two waters.

Many of the works are going day and night, and finishing an immense quantity of goods.—Glasgew Chronicle. When the oproar in England was virulent against Vetoer, and be could not appear without being grossly insulted, a Gentleman, deeming it necessary te comfort and encourage him previous to his appearing at the Italian Opera House. dispatched a friend to prepare Mm for the approaching storm. Veturt was reading in his lodgings on the arrival of the charitable Gentleman ; Jae laid down his book, and listened graciously to an oration upon the brutality of a play-house mob, intermingled with many cogent arguments for the fortification of his mind against it ; on concluding t►is disc oirse, his friend expected to find the poor fellow quite clink!, dejected, and despairing ; what, therefore, was his surprise at seeing him rise, draw himself up, and with the attitude and with the dignity of a Casa:, exclaim, "Sows rsieti /".-{I am Vaunt!) Scams, or SitEtiSs—This singular character fiou 'lsbell in the counties of Aberdeen and Forfar about half a century age. He was as ignorant of the world as a sucking child, having never, it is believed, proceeded farther towards the regions of civili zation than the good town of Perth. A neighbour of the worthy Laird was Sir John Ogilvie, of leverquharity, also a remarkable personage, but in a very different way. Sir John was a Ana Gen tleman, had made the grand tour, and was apt to fire at the smallest imagined insult offered to his honour, and to crown all be was the most skilful and expert swordsman of his time, Don Quixote and Sancho presented not a greater contrast than did these pair of ori ginals; and the comparison will hold good even as to personal ap pearance—the Laird being short and squab, and the Knight tall and gaunt. During an election, Skene gave a grand dinner to seve ral of the county Gentlemen, and amongst the rest Sir John. In the course of the evening the latter began, aa usual, to inflict on the com pany a tedious detail of the many wonderful adventures he had met wit► in his travels. Now this was the Knight's weak side. His memory was so unfortunately defective* that be not only forgot bow often be had tortured the ears of his unwilling auditors with a repetitioe of the same endless stories, but added to them new and &dais achievements, which might have put Hercules to the blush. This was extremely tantalizing ; but no person cared to interrupt him, holding his warlike qualifications in due fear and reverence. Sir John, at last, was describing a tremendous conflict he had in the South of France with about a score of wolves, when out cries 'the Laird, I'm sure, Sirlohn, that a great lee." In an instant Kane from his chair the infuriated traveller, and drawing his ra pier, called on Skene to come forth and stand on his defence. No thing could be more ludicrous than the looks of the astonished Laird when challenged by this Hector. At last he made shift to give delivery to the following pithy and original ex postulation :—`. Fat the deli, Sir John Ogilvie, cam you here to eat my meat and drink my drink, and then stick me like a paddock r lisle was irresistible; and so tickled was the man of war by the comic pathos a. well as the justice of the .appeal, that he literally roiled on the &ear in perfect ecstasy.—Eafirsbesega Pepe►. iliE ARdeft The Stb (Eortiuniberiand) R eg iment of Infantry &arch e d dill day from Bolton for Liverimol, on route to DAIL.
