The following is the copy of a letter written by the unfortunate Cadman to the Governor and Com pany of the Bank of England, on the 28th of Octo ber, 1821, and previous to the RECORDER making his Report : " Condemned Cells, Newrate, Oct. 26, 1821. " Ors-num—The awful situation in which I am placed has induced me once more to address you, and the knowledge that my fate is in your hands encourages the hope that mercy may yet be extended to me. " When I learnt that it was not consistent with the resolu tion which you had taken with respect to such offenders as my self, to suffer the plea of Guilty to the minor offence to be made, I preferred acknowledging my crime to vainly contradicting it, and undergoing the form of a trial, which could not have made my guilt more apparent or more hateful to me. I have, in con sequence, received the appalling sentence of death, and now, standing on the brink of eternity, I make once more an appeal fur mercy to you, upon whose breath depends my existence, coupled as my fate is with that of a confiding heart-broken wife, I have every inducement to beseech that you will spare our lives, to give us an opportunity of amending them. That I have the strongest desire to do so, the confession I have made to one of your officers, and my conduct since my apprehension, I humbly submit, are sufficient evidences. I am, moreover, willing to do everything in my power to detect and bring to justice the hidden contrivers of the nefarious system which has been perfected by the blood of so many victims, to whose number, unless your cle mency shall avert my impending fate, I may soon be added,— There is nothing which can be suggested that I will not essay. no enterprise, however dangerous, that I will not gladly under take, to accomplish this object. I have no pledge to give fur tiara but the solemn assurance of a wretched man, iu too perilous a Case to be insincere in word or thought. " The only ground (beyond those I have before mentioned) upon which I can lay any claim to your indulgence is, that my Me, guilty as 1 am, is not worse than any, not a tithe so bad as sense of those who have received the mercy I now implore— hone of them, I believe, had to bear the pangs of famine, and the agony of seeing a wife perishing for want of the necessaries of life. Those only who have felt such misery can tell how hard it is to suffer. Upon this subject I hardly dare touch: but I beg humbly to remind you, that the long-continued practice of suf fering offenders to plead to the minor offence, and the recent cases of Itoss, Beresford, Smith, and many others, convince me that you have been merciful, and induce me to believe that you will be no less so to use. " I know that upon your representation to the Government depends my life or death. " Gentlemen, I implore you by that forbearance you have so often displayed to other criminals, and the recollection of which stands now, like the Angel of hope, between me and the grave, which is open at my feet—by those charitable feelings to which the discharge of your public duty does violence—by your do mestic happiness—by the reward promised to those who emulate the first attribute of Ilitavett, mercy !—by that great and good Gon, on whose clemency all men rely, and who desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wick edness and live,' to weigh the awful condition in which I stand, and when you consider the temptations to which I have been exposed, and the miseries I have borne, to let the balance of pity incline in my favour. Recollect, I beseech you, that lam not hackneyed in the practices fur which I stand condemned, that the papers I annex prove that at no very distant period I enjoyed the approbation of Gentlemen, whose praise could only he obtained by deserving it ; and believe the solemn assurance, which, perhaps, may be uttered with my dying breath, that if your mercy should be extended to me, all that may he spared to me of existence. shall be devoted to such worthy purposes as may evince my grititude for your interposition. " I am, Gentlemen, in the deepest affliction, your obedient servant, (Signed) " JOSEPH CAD2dAN. " To the Governor and Company of the Bank of England." The following letter was written on the morning of execution, and sent by the post : " Half-past five, A. M. Nov. 21, 1821. " My dear —, accept my kind acknowledgments for your very great exertions in my favour —they have not been crowned with success ; but the mercy de.tird me here, I find ready to be Oren in another and a better world. Gon bless you and yout's (don't forget my pour wife). So prays the " unfortunate—not unhappy CA DM A HAYWARD, EXECUTED ON TUESDAY.—The follow.' ing is a biographical notice of some of the last years of this unfortunate young man. There were inci dents in the life of the unfortunate Hayward which dese!ve to be recorded, as affording not only a view of his own character, but a powerful lesson to youth, impressed as it has been by the tremendous sanction of a death at once terrific and disgraceful. He was the son of a journeyman currier in the Borough. At the age of sixteen, he was apprenticed to a tailor by his father, who wished, but could not afford to give him a liberal education, suitable to the talents he evinced in early life. He remained at that trade two years; but his spirits were so buoyant, his im.agina don so sanguine, and his hopes so aspiring, that the humble pursuit selected by his industrious father grew distasteful by degrees, until, at the expiration though still far beneath the station which his talents were capable of fulfilling, it afforded him opportu nities of recommending himself by his address, which he could not hope to have attained in his former si tuation. The hope that influenced his choice was soon realized in the new sphere to which he had trans. ferred his eo; rts. lie Remained at the coffee-house about six months, when he was noticed by Dr. Pugh Gueston, then residing at Furnival's Inn, and occa sionally frequenting the Yolk Coffee-house. The Doctor was at the time engap,ed in compiling his History of London; and being struck with the ad dress, appearance, and intelligence of Hayward, he took him to his own house, Where he employed him in collecting materials for the work in which he was engaged. While living under the roof of his patron, Hayward was so industrious as not only to acquit himself reputably in his engagement, but to make himself master of the French and Italian languages, which he is said to have spoken with great fluency. He became also a proficient in music, dancing, and, in fact, every accotnplishment of polite society. He remained with the Doctor about five or six years, and then entered into an engagement with Captain Blanchard, with whom he continued for nine months, the greater part of which was . spent in travelling. Hitherto, every step he had taken was towards im provement and the cultivation of his mind ; tnit, un fortunately, on leaving Captain Blanchard's service, his fortune changed—his put suits took another direc tion—and though his advancement, considering his original humility, had been rapid and extraordinary, his decline was still more rapid and extraordinary.— On separating from the Ca?tain it was his misfor tune to be introduced to some of the principal gam bling-houses at the west end of the town. There his ruin began. With a fatality not unusual in the case of initiate gamblers, his first adventures were successful ; hence he was encouraged to bolder ex periments, and confirmed in the habit of play. He also became acquainted with some notorious courte zans. But as if Fortune or PROVIDENCE had not yet abandoned him altogether, the elements of hispros perity were still at work. Ile made acquaintance with some of the most respectable families in Russell and Bedford-squares—becameintimate at their houses —tiequented their parties—and was the delight of circles in every way qualified to admire and en courage the promise of an individual distinguished by all the exterior graces of an accomplished Gen- Airman. Front this period his history is short, and coloured by the sameness of adversity. His whole time was occupied between the gambling-house and I the brothel, and the temptation to commit a robbery which presented great profits, was too great to be re siAed in the state of distress to which he was reduced by the habits to which he had abandoned 'himself. He had lodgings at Somers' Town, and became ac quainted with the circumstances of the family who resided in the house in which he afterwards commit ted the offence for which he was executed. It was stated by soale who visited the unfortunate man, that he was paying his addresses to a young Lady who lived in the very neighbotnhood in which he effected the robbery. Between thirty and forty Gen• tlemen visited Ilayward on Monday in prison. He had been in the habit of visiting at the houses of most of them ; and such efforts were made to pro cure a commutation of punishment, that up to a late hour on Sunday night, he entertained the most san guine hopes of a reprieve. On Monday morning he evinced tile strongest evidences of a resigned spirit, and had frequent conversations with Mr. Brown, the Governor, to whose humanity he declared, in the press-room, he was greatly indebted.—The family of the wretched man had not, it scents, for a long time heard any intelligence of his unfortunate career until it was nearly terminated; but be spoke of them with great affection. A private letter from Paris, dated Nov. 25, says, " Captain DELAMOTTE, sentenced to five years' im prisonment for the affair of the 19J1 of August, 1820, was taken in a hackney-coach from the Chamber of Peers, where he had been brought up to give evidence in Mazian's matter. On arriving at the gates of the prison, be got out first, and seeing the man who served him his dinner every day, he shut the door of the coach, and ordered his dinner, and then took to his heels. The Gendarmes and Police-officer, not seeing the prison-door open, got cut to run after him, the Officer first, who, having neither jack-boots nor a heavy sabre, ran fastest. The Gendarmes asked a woman at a stall if she had not seen a man in black running away ? She said " Yes," and pointed out the direction ; but it happened to be the Officer she had seen, and whom they ran after, while Decastorra got off quietly in another direction."
