742 PRO VINCI 4 LS. EXECUTION OF LIEUTENANT GAMAGE. DIAL, Nov. 23.—The execution of Lieutenant Gamage, for the murder of a £erjeant of Marines, on board the G iffon shear of war. pursuant to the sertence 'of a Court Martial, took place this morning at ten o'clock, on board that ship. Ile bore his fate with manly for titude. About eight o'clock he was attended by the Clergyman, and remained with him till about half-past nine, when the proce-sien began from his cabin to the platform, from whence he was to be launched into eternity. The Clergyman waked first ; then Lieutenant Gama:ec, attended on each side h 3 two friends, officers ; several office:s followed afterwards ; every one present was deeply affected at the unfortunate fate of this young Gentleman, the ship's company particularly. Boats from the different ships attended, as usual, round the execution, ai d the same sympathy and pity was observable in each—" God receive his soul," frequently burst forth from different stamen. lie hawed and thanked them two or three times, as I understand, and seemed deeply affected with the sympathy he excited. One letter I have received, says " that he spoke shorily to his own crew, warning them to beware of giving way to sudden passion." As soon as he reached the platform, he- prayed again with the Clergyman, and precisely at ten o'clock, the signal gun being fired, he was ran up to the yard arm, amidst repeated exelamatinus from the seamen - of " God • - bless and receive him !" Ile appeared to suffer but little. Previous to the execution, an appropriate Circular Address was sent by Admiral Foley to every ship in his fleet. The body was brought on shore for interment at two o'clock, and vr,s received at landing by Pcrrer Dower, Esq. Governor of the Navy Hos pital, who, with a number of Naval and Military Officers, attended this unfortunate young Gertleman's remaiile,to the burial ground at the rear of the Naval Hospital. where they were depasiied. Captain Trollope, and the Officers of the Griffon, with several of the crew, were present. Friday se'nnight, about 5 o'clock, as one of the passage boats which pass from Mutton Cove•quay, Plymouth-dock, to Cremid Passage; was endeavouring to head a Portsmouth sloop that was going o'.t of Hamoaze, the bowsprit of the latter passed through the sail of the former, and in a moment the boat was shivered in an hundred pieces. There were on board 11 women, the two boatmen, and a boy. The most dreadful shrieks instantly announced the unexpected catastrophe, and a number of boats polling to the spot, with a promptitude that deserves much praise, the whole were preserved from a watery grave, though the tide was then running down with such velocity through Hamoaze, as nearly to sink the buoys. A Coroner's Inquest was held on Thursday morning, at Over, on the body of Mr. Robtrt Ayers, who was found drowned in a large pond in Over Park. It appeared that the deceased lived on ill terms sith his wife since the month of June last, in consequence of his having become violently attached to a young woman of Corsham, Wilts, and that in consequence they agreed in September last to separate ; on which occasion the young woman came to reside with the deceased The fever of Mr. Ayers's passion having, however, subsided, he was seized with an extreme remorse of conscience. and unable to endure his reflections, he arose on Tuesday morning soon after six, and having tied his hands to prevent his swimming, threw himself into the pond, where he %vas found soon after seven o'clock. Surgical aid was fuediately obtained, but proved meffectual.—Verdict„ Lunacy.
