Mrs. Edwin has made an appeal ta The public in consequence of the pecuniary losses wilich she has re c !ntly sustained. In Dublin, where her me: its in puh lic and private life are so well known, and so justly apprectited. such an appeal cannot be in vain.

PANTOMIMIC TIRTCE.--A constable of Cheltenham, on Wednesday last, apprehended a notorious vagrant bemiring there, and they conveyed him to the lock-up room ; on their reaching which, the pauper solicited in the most pathetic manner, that the officer would enter with him, and came the window shutters, as his health was much impaired. To this the constable readily ass rated, when the beggar nimbly slipped nut of the prison, locked the iron door after . him, anti the officer was oblig , .•d to undergo a few hours' solitary confine ment before his situation was discovered, and he could be released from "durance vile." Hussey, during the last week, has been very much indisposed ; on account of which, some of his irons have ken taken off, upon recommendation of the surgeon of Maidstone. EXECUTION. John Warr, and Harriet Skelton, convicted in February last of uttering having in their possessinn forged Bank of Trigland notes, were on Friday mornieg, pursuant to their sentence, executed at the front of the debtors' slum, Old Bailey. The case of Harriet Skelton was a subject of deep and general interest ; and beside the etertions made for the preservation of her life by several of the most distiegniebed members of both Houses of Parliament, even sonic benches of Royalty itself were incited to .the most lively feelin.:l of humanity itt ettenvirig to procure it pardon. His Royal Highness the link. tit' Gloneester visited New:rate 1011 Wed nesday, and had a bug interview with the two unfortunate culprits.

The case of the culprits jiLrepurted to have undergone the most rigorous examination, I Ince their cooviction; their crime was extrusive and aggravated, and, Consistent with justice, mercy, it is said, could not be ex truded towards them. From the moment of their fate being anunsinced, each of the parties evinced much resignation. Harriet Skelton distinctly avowed her Agra, but asserted that she was unhappily entrapped Into the crime for which she was to suffer, by a near relative, who has escaped justice. Sire vindicated herself from the opprobimn that had been oast upon her former life, 1111C1 declared in the most solemn tnanner, that she bad been engaged but five weeks in the traffic of passine leered notes previous to her apprehension. tieveral distinguished characters, among whom wore Lord Rocksevage, Mr. !Selmer, and others, most deep!. interested themselves miter behalf; and some of them havitig investi gated her previetts character, fonud it undesersing of !hat Leavy reproach which hail been east upon it. On Thursday morning, the Rev.

On boarding the packet, he gave onlers to his fast affirm, that if he returned with his own boat, and with his own crew. tlutt every thing was right ; but if rctorantl in the :wet of the pirate, or in his own boat manned with we other's crew, the mail was to be instantly conk. After some altercation on board the pirate, they demanded peremptrily the OhichAie stated he never mink: give up. They laughed at his bold brguage, and onknal hint on Hostal their boat. The first offieerof the packet. seeing the Captain 0113 Si trev.i, im•tantly sunk the mail.
