tude with horror. He bounced upon the platform, and gave three cheers, in which he was joined 13) , some few of the mob, at distant parts of the area.l-- " This is ping to be the last remains of James Ings," said he, and he shouted out part of the song, in which the words Death or Liberty, are introduced. He laughed upon looking at the coffins, and said, turn ing his back 03 them, " I'll turn my back upon death ! Is this the gallows they always use ? Those coffins are for us, I suppose!" Tidd, who stood next to him, and had, the me- Ment before, been in"conversation with Thistlewood, turned about, and said, " Don't Ings. There is no bse in all this noise. We can die without making a Sioise!" lugs was silent for a few moments ; but as the executioner approached him with the rope, he called out, " 110 it it tight !" When the executioner threw the rope round the beam, Ings said—" Give me a better fall; the others won't have fall enough." When the executioner put on the tap, Ings said—" I have gut a cap of my own; put it oret this night-cap, and thank you," The . executioner pioceeded to do so ; but Ings said—" It will do when we are going off: let me see as long as I. can." He then pushed the cap from his eyes. The others had raised dm caps from their eyes.—" Here I go, James Ings!" said he; " and let it be known, that I die an enemy to all tyrants.—Ah ha! I see a good many of my friends are on the houses!" Again Tidd turned round to Ings, and, as it ap peared, at the suggestion of Thistlewood, requested that he would not continue the noise. Ings laughed, and said—" Well, I hope, Mr. Cotton, you'll give a good account of me when I arn gone." 31r. COTTON approached Tidd and Ings, but they turned away frpm him. Ings smiled at his inter. f.!rence, but Tidd turned round to Thistlewood and spoke a few words, in which he complained of the inclination of the Ordinary to break in upon their last moments. Davidson then walked up the platform with a steady step. Ile bowed to the crowd, and instantly joined Mr. Cotton in prayer. He seemed inattentive to everything but the journey he was about to take, Ind his lips moved in pr.tyer until he was no longer able to speak. /huh/ then ran up the ladder. His " aspect belied his utterance." Externally, he appeared to have shrunk more frotn his fate than any one of his wretched companions ; his cheeks had sunk ex tremely, giving a degree of ghostly prominence to a forehead, cheek-bones, and chin, naturally very moth protruded ; and his colour was all of a livid paleness; but the eyes of the man sent forth from their deep recesses glances of distressing keenness—his lips" were firmly compressed together—not a tear trickled down his cheeks; there was no quaking of the members; to use an expressive phrase of his speech on receiving sentence, he " went through with the busi ness." " What r said he, soldiers ! What do they here ? see nothing but a Military Government will do for this country, unless there are a good many such as re are. I see a good many of my friends round about" A voice from the crowd called out, " Goo bless you, Thistlewood." Thistlewood looked towards tl,e place from which it issued, and slightly inclined lis head. He then said a few words in a whisper to Ti,id, and awaked his fate in silence. Blunt refused to speak with Mrs Carrots upon the subject of t!-e ft..st world, and declared that he had done all he t'; ought necessary for the plate to which he was going. le appeared disposed to address the crowd, but they v: ere at a great distance, and the executioner was caick at his work. Ings cried out to the executioner, Come, old man, finish us tidy I" The executioner then walked down the ladder, after having drawn the caps over the eyes of the criminals, and placed each upon the trap-door. Mr. COTTON, standing closer to Davidson than to any of the rest, began to :cad those awful sentences which have sounded last ia the ears of so many unhappy men. Suddenly the r latform fell, and the agonies of death were exhibited to the view of the crowd in their most terrific form. Th!stlewood struggled violently for a few minutes, Lut each effort was more faint than that which pre c..:sltd, and the body soon turned round slowly, as if upon the Motion of the hand of death. Tidd, whose size gave cause to suppose that he should " pass" with little comparative pain, scarcely moved after the fall. The struggles of Ings were great. The assistants of the Executioner pulled his legs with all their might, and even then the reluctance of the soul to part from its native seat was to be observed in the vehement eZorts of every part of the body. Davidson, after three or four heaves, became motionless. Brunt suf fered extremely; but in the course of about five mi nutes all was still. The warrant having directed that the bodies should remain hanging half an hour, the executioner spa peared upon the platform at SS minutes past eight. then raised the legs of each of the criminals, and gave the signal for drawing up the platforms The trap-door being lifted, he cut down the body of Thistlewood, and dragged it over .to bne of the coffins. At the head of the coffin lay the block.—. The executioner having taken the cap off the face a-:.d the rope from the neck, called out to the Sheriffs' Oifii;ClS in attendance that the body was prepared in•: the rest of the sentence. In an instant there rose from the trap-door a figure, at which the multitude set up a shout of horror. The person who was so oboe:ions was dressed like a seannkn, ware a black Mask, and held in his hand a large knife. He ran over to the body, And in a few seconds separated the head from the trunk.— Hundreds from the tops of the neighbouring houses groaned, and set up a shout. Some cried, " Murder the villain !" Such is the force of habit, that the crowd actually were more excited at the mutilation of the dead, than at the destructlon . of the living. The instant the decapitation took place, the man in the mash put the head into the hands of the execu tioner's assistant, who held it, while drops of blood fell from it, towards the crowd, and cried aloud, three times—" This is the head of Arthur Thistle wood, a traitor !" The bodies of the other malefactors were then dragged up to the other coffins, and the man in the mask, whose appearance had been so much execrated, caused the same sensation upon each successive visit to the platfoim. The instant he appeared, the shout was raised against him. He looked like that cha racter in pantomime called Harlequin, and the ea-1 pidity with which he used his knife might be com pared to the quick transitions which arise. from theatrical mechanism. Each head hiving been held towards the crowd, and the ceremony observed upon taking off that of'Thistlewood having been repeated in the other instances, the coffins were carried from the platform into the prison. The whole of the melancholy solemnity was over at a quarter before nine o'clock. The multitude dis persed quickly, and without the least indication of a disposition to violence or disturbance. In consequence of the excellent arrangements made, the only accident from the immense pressure which occurred, was at the Church-yard of tSt. Sepulchre's, where the iron railing, from the numbers who were clinging to it, gave way for an extent of about twenty-seven yards, and sixteen persons were hurt, two of them, we re gret to say, rather seriously. A little hefore ten, the multitude having com pletely dispersed, the different detachments of mili tary marched off to their respective barracks. We should be wanting in a very grateful duty were we to omit expressing the strong obligation which, in common with the rest of the Press, we are under to Mr. Sheriff Bon:WELL, for the polite readi ness with which he procured accommodation to the Gentlemen engaged in the painful task of witnessing and recording the proceedings of the day. Thursday's Paris Papers reached us at - a late hour last night. The most interesting intelligence they bring is the arrival of the QUEEN at Lyons. Her MAJESTY'S arrival there is mentioned in two Papers. She still travels under the title of Countess OLDI, and is on her way to Brussels. It is stated by one of the Journals, in which her arrival is noticed, that she proposes to remain for some time at Lyons, probably with the intention of communicating with her friends in this country. Saturday his MAJzsTy held a Council, which was, attended by most of the Cabinet Ministers, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench agd Corn mon Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron, &c. Preparations were made for receiving the Address of the House of , Commons in State. About four o'clock the Proces sion of the Members arrived at the Palace, preceded by Mr. LEE, the High Constable for Westminster, followed by four Constables. The SPEAKIR and Members who accompanied him were introduced in the usual form, and the ceremonies usual upon such occasions took place. Yesterday, Divine Service wts performed at the Ktso's Palace, by the Rev. F. BLOMBERG. The Duke of YORK attended Divine Service yes. terday, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's. Saturday, Prince LEOPOLD left town for Claremont. The Princess Auousr♦ left town on Saturday for Frogmore.

On Monday last a grand Dinner was given at the United Service Club, in honour of our beloved SOVE REIGN'S Birth-day. General Sir SAMUEL ACIIMUTY was . in the Chair, which on his quitting was filled by Major-General HtrrouNson. The festivities of the evening were prolonged to a late hour.

HILL, Colonel of the Royal Horse Guards, waited upon his Mnsitsty by command, and received from his hands the clothing and equipments belonging to the late Krwo, as a Captain in that distinguished Re giment. His MAJESTY was pleased to signify his gra cious wish to hold the same rank as his Royal Father. Monday, his MAJESTY devoted the greater part of the morning to an examination of the Royal apart ments in Windsor Castle. At the entrance of the Long Walk, on each side of the avenue, were drawn up the Regiment of the Royal Horse Guards, and the I st Battalion of Grenadier Guards, who were drawn out for the purpose of firing a feu-de-joie in honour . of his MAJESTY'S Birth-day. A vast number of per sons were assembled on the occasion, who greeted the Kix° on his entrance with the most enthusiastic shouts. The troops saluted, and the bands played GOD save the Kiug. The carriage passed slowly down the lines. His MAJESTY appeared in excellent health, and seemed highly pleased with the brilliant scene, and the respectful attentions of all ranks of his sub jects. After the carriage had reached the extremity of the lines, th*orses went off at a quick pace. The troops immediaely proceeded to fire, and at the con clusion gave three joyous cheers.

The Cakor.E frigate, Captain BOWLES, returned to Portsmouth on Saturday, from the South American command, where, for some years, (with the rank of Commodore), he has rendered very important ser vices to his country. He was succeeded by Commo dore Sir THOMAS HARDY, Baronet. The CREOLE brings no South American news, either important or interesting. The latest accounts from the Rio de la Plata are to the 22d of January, at which time nothing was known of Lord CocHRA N E'S proceedings beyond his failure before Callao, an account of which has already appeared. It was supposed that he would remain at sea until obliged to return to Val paraiso, for want of provisions ; but there was no chance of his gaining any further advantages on the coast. Sir TH•MAs HARDY was at Buenos Ayres ; and Captain F. L. MAITLAND, C.B. with the Vas °atm and SUPERB, was at Maldonado. The HYPE RION, Captain Scums, C.B. went round Cape Horn in the beginning of January. Sir THOMAS HARDY'S broad pendant was in the Own/ Grminowita, Hon. Captain R.

Several of the large gems, we have not learnt how many, turn out to be paste. It is supposed that this fraud was com mitted as far back as the time of CHARLES 11. FlRE.—About one o'clock on Saturday morning, a fire broke out in an untenanted house in Shadwell Market, which was undergoing some repairs ; it is supposed to have originated in some lime on the ground floor taking fire. The house was in a short time consumed, together with a quantity of new tim ber; the flames cbmmunicated to the adjoining house, occupied by Mr. Tellis, a coal-merchant, which was materially damaged. Mrs. Tellis, who had been only put to bed on the day before, was obliged to be re moved into the street for safety, and she is danger ously ill in consequence of the fright.

DRURY-LANE THEATRlL—Saturday evening, after the Play of King Lear had been concluded, Mr. RussELL came forward and addressed the audience. He said, the Public, at all times indulgent, had taught them, when anything occurred to interrupt the performance, to come boldly forward to speak the plain and honest truth. On the present occasion he was sorry the entertainment which had been an nounced for that evening . (The Innkeeper's Daughter) could not be performed, in consequence of the music, which was all in manuscript, having been stolen, and there was nothing left for them to do but the best they could under such circumstances ; they had, therefore, substituted .Of Age To-morimu for the Innkeeper's Daughter. This apology did not, how. ever, satisfy the majority of the audience. Miss KELLY and Mr. HARLEY commenced their performance, but were not suffeied to proceed; when Mr. RUSSELL again came forward, but with no better success. Mr. ELLISTON presented himself, and, the clamour not much abating, said, he hoped the " respectable pa r t of the audience would not allow him to be insulted: This appeal changed the tide of clamour into appro bation. The piece accordingly proceeded without further interruption. „ • Of. I 4 ng tn od SS no :be m, in at his on id ~ill ten cd, res ald -ed cu >ke ile his ere the an, tine the his to wd cre rag me
