LONDON SESSTONS, 19pm.trapAy, Anti!. 3. This mn-ning three Sevions commented before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Shea's, the Reeorder, and a full Bench of Aldermen. The Recount', in his address to the Grand Jtiry, lamented that he ronid not hold out any expectations that their 'shows would be speedily te•mmatrd, fm the calendar contained 73 prisoners on the London side, which was neariy •iouble the number which ap peared on the last calendar, and it far exceeded any thing he ever remembered. There was one circumstance connected with the ca talogue of crime before him whizii deserved remark. namely, the stale of the streets in the metropolis, and the prevalence of aim,: ifr that department. Notwithstanding the nnrnnitting attention of the Magistrates, and the vigilance attic olli:ers they employed, it was melan?liiily to observe, that nearly one-litth of the prisoners were charge , ' with street robberies. The Court would do all in th-ir power to suppress this growing evil, by the it.flictinn act se one punishment. After remarking upon the evicts generally, the Recorder expressed his conviction that the Gentlemen would do their duty in a manner which would be satisfactory to themselves and tht ir teilow-citizens. _ _ _ AITEAL ROBERT WAITHHAN, ESQ., ALDERMAN, awn THECOMAION COUNCIL OF THE WARD OF EARRINGDON WITHOUT, RESPONDENTS: MR. WILLIAM ROAR. APPELLANT. Mr. LAW appeared for the firmer, and Messrs. Anot.nnus. Awl:tits:as, and ALLEY, for the latter. The case appeared to excite rent interest. • • Mr. Law stated that the appellant is a publican, and keeps the Coopers' Arms, in IVest-street, Smithfield, which was formerly occup . ril hr a person named Charles Cooper. The appellant's re. *Rios. which had been read, explained that he was aggrieved by the condort or his clients, who, on account of the notoriety of the louse during the late occupancy, had refused him a license. lie Cllr. Law) would adduce evidence to prove that the gentlemen had acted with propriety, for the house had been the plaice of resort for thieves and prostitutes of the most abandoned description ; and it was no nnfrequent thing for a robbery to be commitWd on the pre mises. The appellant had no right to complain. ber.lu.e he had leen apprised of the character of the house, and adMoniahed not to risk his money in the speculation. The petition alluded to the kiss which the appellant would sustain, ut amaequence of the refusal to license the house; but that W 3., all a flourish, because he (Mr. L.) had been informed that alessrs. Truman and Ilanbury Were the persons who advanced the money, and if loss was ails. tamed it would he upon them, and not upon Mr. Rosa. He (Mr. Law) was also grate that it would he urged by his friends on the other side that the appellant had mitigated the evil which formerly existed-- . . . . Mr. AgoLret•a..-You ought to have wed the word " abo lished." .Ifr. LAW would take either word ; but supposiug the eras were at present abolished, was it right that a house of ill-fame should Mutated, be headed over from one party to another ? because, if se- it was holding out a premium to disorder, and rendering the seb,ta of those who attempted to preserve decorum nugatory. Ile would call respectable witnerces to prove what the house formerly was, and then the Court would say whether the present application eatild be entertained. A be number of witnesses were then called in support of the rep/indents, among whom were letotts. Hallows,. Figginx, and Snags. all Common Councilmen in the Ward where the house is 'situate; also the Wand Beadle and Conductors of Patrol, for the district. _ _ . The teathnony of the witnesses related to specific particulars, hut they Amend that the house, when kept by Cooper (the late land lord) was of the most infamous description, and that since the ap pellant took possession on the 10th of January lust, a wonderful a heration had been effected, and— . . . . fik. Galloway sant that he saw tso reason why the house should be suppressed, if enotlucted as at present. Mr. donut:we sail that every thing had been shown but that his chent was unworthy of a license to his house ; for so far from having incurred blame, be had acted in a moat exemplary and praiseworthy manner. The KU:ORDER accorded with these remarks, and gave it as his *pillion, that owing w the reformation the appellant had effected, be was worthy to have his license granted. POLICE. 111AMION-HOUSE. Yeeterdop, a Wont mittd:e.sged man, named Nightiogok, Wls brought before the LORD Al a roc on a charge of felony. Mr. Charles Wright witted. that several weeks since. while sitting in the Dolphin Chop-house, Ludgate-Lill, writing a letter, he took 00 his watch and chain to seal it. when the prisoner, who was a cus tomer them, took them up. as if in joke, and made off with thew. M. had made repeated applications for their return without effect. 4t length he found it necessary to obtain the aid of an officer to apprehend the primmer for the felony. Marten, the officer, stated that the prisoner was ore of a firm oarricd Nightingale and Co., and that their counting-house was at No. 3, Nees Head court, Staining-lane. lie (Marten) had waited there few nearly a fortnight. to take the prisoner into custody. At 'mirth he succeeded, and, upon searching his place, he found a number of documents of ao important nature, besides the duplicate of Mr. Wright's watch. . . . . The l t onn Matron questioned the prisoner closely as to the !mum of his employment. The prisoner said, he was an agent for the sale of goods manu !mond in the country, and was also engaged as an agent with errag:to bills, but wet not desirous of stating for whom. letters found in the possession of the prisoner displayed an Ottensim system, which will, perhaps, be soon publicly developed. Ow of them, read by the Lord Mayor, „was written to tha prisoner Atom Manchester, by a man named P. Whitehead. It stated, that kwe highly necessary for the prisoner to be at his pest, and be mule, in his measures with respect to the billy in order to give camildernoe to the bankers there; that he must open a counting haw, and have boxes marked with the words bills paid, accounts settled, books, and all the externals of businms ; that he must take care to have x seemingly respectable reference, and to hold IPA that they had a hareem Isa Guayra, and another at Smyrna. It exhorted him to mnke as great a allow of in.leper.dence as he tress master of, for, if they succeeded in one trmr,saction, both of them would be made comfortable. There was the name of a man waived Willowy, who appeared to beaming with the firm at Man. &moo, nmmioned in the letter; there was' one letter signed by three parties. who appeared to be of the Ann, complaining of the prisoner's inattention to the performance of things loge iNite on bier part, and threatening a dimehttion of partnership. Another con tained a long list of bills, to an enormous amount, which lad bcca lead by them. With the letters were a number of flask notes, mad* to resemble bank -notes, for two and three hundred anti a themeand pounds. TM lindlord of the counting-house occupied by . the prisoner mans bused, and expressed his regret that his premises had been la else occupation of such a firm. Within a short time persons hid been there with bills to the amount of upwards of I,qoo/., witch bad net been paid. Persons came there every day inquiring fle Nightingale and Co. He had got no rent. The bona '.Hato* said It was evident that the prisoner had with a west el others In a most extensive system. His tp Mined the prisoner to be remanded until Friday, that filether inquiries may b.: made. • the Managing Director of the Equitable Tea Agency Com. r r j a VD remains in the Compter, no persons having yet com e to give bail in the sum of 401. each, to answer fur his appall:wee.

Proctor of the respectable Arm of Curling and Co., No. lA. paid., wanhotmemen appeared to show cause why he retiv.ii to pay the pro of 2s. 3 d. far the carriage and porterage of a parcel berm& from Ipswich to the Saracen's Head, A lagatc, and deli. wind at their ham on Tuesday week. Mr. Proctor had tended ta. at the time. but tile porter would not receive a fraction short at his full demand. 11r Proctor stated his objection to be, that he cortceived the ac tual charge for the carriage of small parcels from the above place was Is.. and for the next rise Is. although it was usual to de mand Is. 2d. for the former, and le. ad, for the latter. When, therefore. the parcel in question arrived. char,:ed with ad. porteruge lola 1..

Ile believed that it would turn out that the twopence was charged for booking in the country, or on some such pretence. The porter denied the latter assertion. end declared that the whole of the la..ad was far carriage. He had no table of chargek to produce. Sir Jonn PEisiso said that If the innkeeper chose to charge owe shilling for the carriage of a parcel one week, and the next, to rates his demigod tor the like Mae to two shillings., be was certainly at liberty to do so, and the only remedy left to the public was to oehd their goods by another conveyance. The porter detoxified Is. ad. for carriage, and be (the 51agistratr) was bound to enforce the payment of it. 31e. Proctor hoped the innkeepers would not avail themselves of 811 John's hint, as he thought they took quite latitude enough al. ready. Ile must now, of course, - bow to the opinion of the Me giotrate. • • Oe then plid the 2a. 2d., with &keens. he only Ct.llll.tigi where Justices fix the rs;e of lend-carriage. as the law , directs, are, we understand, Salop, Lincoln, and Chester.

Powell, the 31int Solicitor, ahtended for the proaecution. The iirls ,,,, ers lived at No. 41, Wellington.place, Wellington street, Illackfriars'-mad, and were on Monday night surprised at receiving ft visit from Limhrick, Edwards, Lee. and Lloyd, four officers belonging to the Hatton-Harden establishment, who took then) into custody, and commenced a search of their apartments. where they found nearly one hundred pieces of base coin. it, various stages of perfection, some being quite finished. They likewise dis. covered several chemical preparationa, by which different parts of the proems of mnnufatnuring was accelerated, and of which expert. men's were insole Wine the Magistrates. The pieces of metal produced were all imitations of shillings and litneuces. _ _ _ 1 he prworere (who are both well known) made no defence, but entreated the clemency nt the ?iseißtnites. They were fully committed to take their trial at the ensuing Guildfnrd Assizes. Yesterday a young man, named F. Fortesese Fonstance, other wise u m fidd, was brought before the Magirrate, to account for his having been found, early that morning, in rather an awkward situation, viz . under the bed of the maid-servant of Mr. Bodkin, the honorary Secretary of the Meedicity Society. It appciteed that he had become enamoured of the damsel, and had paid her frequent visits; 'he representing him to her twister Rs her brother, and stating that he was s tailor, residing at Hampton Court. On Tuesday night Mr. Bodkin and his frently being from home, he visited his dttleinea ; and after asking her if she was not afraid to be left io the house by hersel', proposed to sit op in the kitchen while she went to bed. To than, however, his fair one would not consent ; and it was agreed that he should elm in her 'tierce,' bed. lie ac cordingly, at eleven o'clock, went to Mr. Bodkin's dormitory, and she to her own bed-chamber ; but scarcely but she lovers occupied their separate beds, ere Mr. Bodkin is turned home. Our hero was consequently obliged to fly, with his wardrobe under his arm, from Mr. Bost kin's beet bed, and take refuge water that of his ON ert. heart, in the three-pair back. On Mr. B.'s entering his boudoir, followed by the affrighted girl, be beheld with astonishment the state of his bed, and appealed to his servant for an explanation ; in vain—she was epecehlets ; the watchmen were called in, a search rook place, and the luckless youth was found snugly secreted as ale& y described. He was dragged forth, and, time having been given him to dress himself, was consigned to the custody of the watchmen. When before the Magistrate he still persisted that he was the girl's brother, and that lie was a tailor, living at Hempton Court. The :11.acteernaelt told him he felt convinced he was not the person.' represented himself to be, and therefore he should order him to ml bail, and to give 21 hours notice. He was then team mitted to prison. It since appears that he Is a respectable young man, a mason, and is employed at the works now going on at Gloucester House. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Lancaster, jaw., the proprietor of the Steam Paeket.office Piccadilly. who, a few (ley.' ago, underwent a long examination a this office, (the particulars of which we then gate,) under a charge of haviug broken open packages, belonging to Mr. Addison, an officer of the Dragoon Guard*, delivered at the Steam Packet. office, with directions to have them sent to different parts of the country, was yesterday brought up for another examin 'don. The great number of pnwnbrokers' ticket*, which, it will he reeelleeted, were found by the officers on Mr. Lancaster when they apprehended him, had been. since the last examination, sent to the difi}rent pawnbrokers. directing them to attend yesterday, which they ac. cordingly dud, with the articles pawned ; but though there were a great number of persons came forward, who stated that they had delivered packages at the Steam Packet.ollice, which were never forwarded according to the directions given, yet, on examining the articles produced by the pawnbrokers, they were not able to identify any belonging to themselves. Sir G. }ARRANT, the Magistrate, was about to commit the pri. sorer on Mr. Addison'e charge, which he observed was quite Isom. plate, the package having been found in the prisoner's desk ; but ultimately thought it better to remand him the another week. as it was probable that persona would come forward who might identify some of the property produced by the pawnbrokers. He was accordingly remanded. A young man, of good appearance, named Band, was charged by a gentleman, who lives in Frith-street, Soho, with the following gross fraud. The gentleman stated, that about a fortnight ago he was accosted bi the prisoner. in company with another person, in Pi c c a dilly. The pr isoner asked him if he would buy some cheap French cam bric and Holland linen, which his companion had, who was in great distress; and so importunate watebe in begging of him to buy, that he consented to look at the articles, for which purpose they went into a public house in Rupert-street. Two parcels were opened by the prisoner; they were stamped, as it appeared to him, from the towns in Holland and France they purported to have been made in. The gentleman purchased French cambric and Holland linen, to the value OIL 175., which he paid the prisoner. The ar ticles wen, then tied up in a silk handkerchief. mid the gentleman directed them to he left at his lodgings in Frith-street. The prison. er, after making his bow, departed for the purpose of doing no. On the gentleman pilot g he/Me, he found the parcel before him. but, on apiming b, discovered that instead of French cambric and tine Hol land linen, it contained common cotton, not worth Init. a yard. Mr. 11Anst r.a, who attended for the prisoner, asked it there was any evidence of the prisoner's having changed the parcel, and none betog able to be produced. Mr. DYER advised the gentleman to indict him at the Sessions, which the gentleman expressed his de termination to do. MA RYLEBONE. Yesterday. a very wild-loaktng but genteelly dressed msn, giving his nasse WI//km Mtgeats, was brought front the 31ar7lebone watchhouse, where he had passed the night, charged with refusing to pay a hmekrier-ermehmtut hhi fare. The drivel of Net. 8911 Inekney — enoch stated, that the prisoner had called him from the stand In Piccadilly, and desired hhn t o drive In the direction 4 - 1 Brighton ; accordingly fie chore to Croy. don, where he pulled tth, and Informed the " gemman" that as how " the hart" did not permit "hacks" to go beyond ten utiles °tit, and he demanded hit fare. The prisoner only exclaimed, is that the law? hot kat let'a drink together." To thit the wit ness had no objection, and having refrethed hintselfand the Mimeo, he retraced his route to Piccadillyorhete the prisoner alighted front Ida coach, and .was deliberately walking off, when he reminded him that the charge for his dar's excursion was about 304. " Why," raulahned he, its rery odd, burl have no money." and tn the fin turned out to he ; " therefore," concluded the driver of No. 500, " 1 deposited my fare in the watch house, where he kicked up the devil's own thindy." • The defendant exclaimed violently, " That dot meal of a coachman has not performed his conuact ; he leered to drive me to Brighton, where, at the King's Palace, 'he would have been patd.• Ur. lIAwr.TXBO,I put some questions with the view of eliciting who and what I,e •as, but such was the incoherency of his an. hirers, that nothing could be collected from them.

Tweedy said, the description he had received flnm the prosecutor corresponded precisely with young Wdkinson, aid while he wan on the look out for him, he saw him going through a court in Gols den I.•ne. Wilkirson and Sarah Williems were remanded. The other prisoner was discharged. Young Wilkinson was in custody at this office about a week since, and was positively sworn to by Isaac Smith, a Staffordshire navigator, u having been one of a gang, who, at the same spot in Golelen.laric, robbed him of a considerable stun of money, his smock-frock, &c.; but owing to the non-appearance of the p osecu. tor. after the first examination, be was then liberated.

Wont,: trousr or M LIE-EN n NEW Tow N.—Yesterday, Jane Gregory MIN placed at the belt for final examination. That part of the charge which had been advanced nn a former day. viz. the prostitution of the two workhouse children, was abandoned, it being. since her Lost es.imination, ascertained that the story which they then told was et issue of falsehoods. The other part, how. ever, which related to inducing them to rob, was gons into, and the following was the evidence given in its support. Sarah Tyrre:l. one of the children, stated that she lived in the workhouse of Mile-End New Town, where the prisoner was em. played as nurse. Sonic days since she asked her if she would leave the (muse, and she then said she did not know. She afterwards came to her a second time, and told her that the boys were going, and desired her at once to make up her mind. She then consented, when the prisoner requested her to steal some candles, snap, &c. which she did, and also took some bread from the cupboard, and a frock from the drawers of her mistress, all these she gave to the prisoner, who pawned some of them, and sold others. On Monday week she helped her and the other girl, Sally Johnson, over the wall ; the boy had got over before, and unbolted the gate, to let the prisoner out. A pawnbroker here identified the prisoner as the person who pledged several articles at his house, and the beadle proved having received the duplicates from her. _ . On the production of a frock, one of the articles pledged, Mr. HARDWICK called on the master of the workhouse, to prove an ownership in it on the part of the parish ; but that person said, that though he believed it to be their property, he' could not take it upon himself to swear to the fact. This called forth the censure of the'Magistrates, who observed that a case of this kind, connected as it was with the gross depravity of the children before them, could Dot exist, without throwing a slur over the general adminis tration of the workhouse. The master, in reply, stated that one of the children bed only been about a month in the house, and must hare been corrupted before the came to it, and that it was not by anything she had seetT within their walls that the mind of the other was contaminated. From the answers to some questions from the Magistrates, the affairs of this workhouse, u regards the religious instruction of its inmates, seem to have been anything but well regulated. They sever attended Church, or any other place of divine worship, save a Methodist school in Spha'fields, twice on Sunday, and for further spiritual instruction were left entirely to the guidance of sectarian teachers, each conflicting, perhaps, in their creed, and thus de stroying that unity which is indispensably necessary to the well being of any inititutiou. The prisoner Gregory was fully committed for trial. UNION-HALL A decent-looking young women, named 11W, with an infant in her arms, was brought up, charged with committing an assault upon the lady of Captain Wright, who resides at Brixton. It appeared that the defendant was in the habit of calling at the Captain's residence and exciting disturbances. A few nighin back she called, as usual, at a eery late hour, and broke out into violent exclamations against Capta in Wright. The complainant hearing the noise. wen; Into the 1, and seeing the defendant there, re quested she would with raw ; upon which Miss 11111 dew at the complainant, and struck her violently, declaring at the same time she had as much right to the Captain, if not more, than the lady who took upon herself the character of mistress of the house. With difficulty the was st length thrust out of the house, but not until she had raised the whole neighbourhood by the violence of her conduct. The defendant here towed that Captain Wright was the father of the child she then held in her arms, and that he had turned his back upon her, leaving the entire support of the infant upon her. She admitted that she hall gone to his residence for the pur pose of soliciting some maintenance for their mutual offspring. but he had avoided making any arrangement to that effect, and uniformly sent the lady who now made the chime against Fier to meet her. ano.. who had constantly abused her, although she (de fendant) had assured Mrs. \night that all ahe wanted was to have a maintenance for the child from its father. She denied having assaulted the complainant. A *sham ' who attended on behalf of Captain Wri g ht, t o ld t h e Itlagidrate th at the affair of the child had been.long since compro mised, by his chant paying the SUM of fifty pounds to the pariah authoridea. The Magistrate observed that the conduct of parish-efficen was most - reprehensible In compromising a .case of bastardy. He dite•ted• that the MU. paid by Captain Wright should be returned to hint again, and then the pariah could proceed against that per son in the legal way for the expense 4 attendant upon the woman's confinement, and the subsequent support of the child.

COTTON-61'INNLI18.—From the following paragraph it will be seen that in consequence of the gross misconduct of the Belfast cotton-spinners, there is a very eli gibhl opening for the unemployed weavers of .Manchester and its vicinity. "A number of cattomspinners of this town are now em ployed at the loom. We are glad to learn that these deluded men have found any means of procuring support (however scanty) for themselves and their families; whinnied we confoss we have doubts as to the accuracy of the statement. We know of many respectable weavers, who have been in the regular employment of manursctur. log houses in Belfast for years, and who Are now destitute of the means of earning a livelihood, flow the spinners should find work as IVC,Vert, whilst the most experienced weavers we have here are dkengeenti, apneas in us singular. Besides, the disparity hetwt en 304. and fn. or tis. a seek in their earnings (granting that they are employed at the Loom), strikes us as being a sad falling oft " Beifest Whig. • Thursday a number of swans were observed in our basin. a sore indication of the severity of the weather, whkh has driven thew fowls from their natural haunts.— Montrose Review. Mr. Charles Savery, solicitor, last week received.a.com pound fracture of his leg, owing to having jumped from " the Company's" coach at 11-ading, while on his return to Bristol. It lima been falsely stated that the coach was upset, but the fact is, that Mr. Savery, upon the wheels on one side embracing a spur -stone, at the most awkward corner of the whole line of road, jumped off in a fright. The coach was not upset, nor any one else hurt. Mr. Savery is getting well fast. 'l°l2c-stealing is again carried on to a great extent in this county. On Friday night last the stable belonging to the Rev. Mr. Carter, of Chcdburgh, was broken open, and a capital horso stolen' therefrom. We understand two horses were stolen the same night from the adjoining parish of Clievitigton.—Bury Guartte. EXAMINATION OF MR. WAKEFIELD. 'rum the Manchester fifes-clay:l SECOND DAY. •Willi S. The examination continue-et! this day at two o'clock, at the game place, and before the same Magistrates as on Friday. (In this or emtion Mr. Harmer, of London, attended as the attorney of the prknner. The only witness examined was Miss Dl!by. who stated that she and her three sisters kept ♦ hoarding.selmol at Liverpool, and that Miss Turner was in their care on the thh of March last; rin which day, about eight o'clock in the morning, a letter was presented to her by a person who came with a carriage, and stated himself to be sereart to blr. Titrner; that be had con:e front Shrigley ; that Mrs. Turner Its I ham taken ill, and wished to see her daughter. Ile then presented a letter, saying it would detail the particulars. The letter staled that Mrs. Turner was 'mired with a sudden attack of paralysis, and .wished to see her daughter immediately. In con sequence of this letter, Miss Turner set out in the carriage, with the person who brought the letter, in about twenty minutes her it arrived ; and witness did not hear any thing of her wain until the lath of March, when she revived a letter from Miss Margeret Tomer, the cousin of Miss 'l'urner, stating that Dr. Ainsworth had communicated to the family some very dia.re,sing intelligence respecting Miss Turner, and requesting to hear from her immsdi ' ately. Ls consequence of this letter, witness went over to Shrigley, where site learnt that She had been imposed upon, and that bliss Turner had been carried off by fraudulent urea's. Defers that time witnesa never knew such persons as Edward Gibhon Wakefield or William Wakefield, and never saw the prisoner before to her knowledge. Neither of those gentlemen had ever been at her house; and she did not think that either of them could have had any opportunity of seeing bliss Turner wbilst age was %mat the cave of witness and her sisters. This concluded the evidence. Mr. AAR atER declined asking any questions from Miss Dalby, and begged to know what course the Magistrates intended to take. Mr. GRIMSDITCU (who conducted the case for the prosecution) submitted that the evidence he had laid before the alagisttates fully made out the capital offence ; and he therefore felt it his duty to call upon them to commit the prisoner to take his trial on that charge. Mr. HARMER contended that the offence amounted only to a misdemeanor, as Miss Turner was not heir apparent. but .nly heir presumptive of her father. Various contingencies might arise to prevent her from inheriting her tallier's property. ' That gen tie”ian might have a son, and thus prevent her from succeeding to the inheritance. The case evidently amounted to no more than a misdemeanor, under the statute of Philip and Mary, which im posed a certain punishmen► on all persons carrying sway a young lady order shtteen years of age. Ile therefore submitted that the prisoner was entitled to bail. Mr. OnmsniTen said, the point was, whether a person in the situation of Miss T. was or was not an heir apparent within the meaning of the statute of Henry VII. and he submitted that the Magistrates ought not to take upon themselves the responsibility of deciding it, especially in a case like the present. But. if they should be of opinion that the offence made out against the prisoner amounted only to a misdemeanor, still he contended that they ought hot to admit him to bail ; and he quoted the statute respect ing bail (3 ) dviard I. c. la.) anti Burn' s Justice, to show that for certain manifest and heinous offences, though not amounting to felony, Magistrates ought not to take bail. Mr. HARMER briefly replied. The room was then cleared, and the Magistrates remained some time in consultation ; after which they announced that they should commit fin the misdemeanor ; but they must decline to admit the prisoner to bait. Mr. HARMER stated that he should apply fora writ of habeas corpus. in order to have the prisoner brought up and bailed by one of the Judges. A warrant of commitment to Lancaster Castle will then made out ; anti we understand the prisoner will be sent nit' to that place thismorning. We believe lie was !nutlet] to the daughter of a Baronet, only two or three days before his apprehension. - EXECUTION. WARWICK, APRIL 3. To-day Michael (Ford, convicted of the murder of Mr. Perry, at Birmingham, was executed in front of the county gaol. Sunday night the prisoner went to bed about ten o'clock. He awoke about midnight in great agitation, and in a momentary im pulse of passion inveighed against the conduct of the Jury. He again fbil asleep, and continued in that state till four o'clock, when he awoke, and ansioualy awaited the arrival of Mr. Turville, who visited hint at an early hour, and administered to him that corm ' lation which could alone mitigate his sufferings. After this the wretched man wrote a last farewell to his wife, in which he ac knowledged the justice of his sentence, the contort which had been poured into his heart by his religious adviser, and declared that he was perfectly resigned to his fate. Between seven and eight o'clock he ate a very hearty breakfast. and soon after received a visit from the Sheriff'. About a quarter before ten he was conducted to the Pressroom to have his arms pinioned. He here drank two glasses of wine. The unhappy malefactor was attended to the scaffold by the Rev. H. Langhorne and the Rev. Mr. Turville; with the latter of whom I he continued in fervent prayer while the awful and appalling pre parations were making to draw a veil over his mortal existence. After these devotional exercises were concluded, he appeared at first to be in great haste to be gone, and before the executioner was ready to lower the drop, he hail given the signal by dropping his handkerchief. Mr. Tatnall instantly stepped forward and again slued it in his hand ; and the wretched man for some minutes prayed loudly and fervently, but principally in his native tongue. At length the fatal signal was given—the platform fell, and the un fortunate culprit was launched into a boundless eternity, white in the act of' imploring mercy from his God. Among his last words were—" Lord Jesus, receive my soul! to thee 1 commend my Bpi. tit." " Open to rue the gates of life, 0 Lord. my God, and my Redeemer !" lie was slightly convulsed immediately after suspen sion, but wm dead in less than forty seconds. Ford was an Irishman by birth, and came from the county of Gal. way, where are still living his three aisters, as agel father and mother, and a Wife and infant child. His parents obtain a decent livelihood from the occupation of a small lann ; but his pone wife was entirely dependent upon her husband for support. He had been mar►icd twice, and was in the twenty-sevcmh year of his age. lle was five feet eight inches in height, of sallow complexion, pro. minent forehectl, and overshadowing eyebrows. It is thought rhat Ford's original design was only to rob the house of his victim, and it has been said that notes to a considerable amount, which Mr. Perry was known to possess in the course of the day on which he was attacked by his assassin, were never seen after the murder. , Little doubt is entertained here, that Ford's departure from his wife and friends in Ireland was connected with sonic horrible tran. sections the particulars of which he has doubtlessly confided to his priest, in whose breast the secret will remain inviolate. The following is an extract of a letter addressed to the Reverend Ambrose Bowles, Innis, county Clare, Ireland, written by Ford an hour before his execution, and given to Mr. Turville, with a request that he would put it into the handset the Sheriff:— " An acesunt from Michael Ford, of his death, on the 3d day of April. 1826, who died in the 27th year of his age. I was deal ing is (Mr. Perry's) shop in the town of Birmingham, where I did work Ina the 6th of December, and I had no thought in my heart to hllrf the man when I went in. I was but little in liquor, and there was some words between me and him ; and I took a bluer Iclotverlin sty hand and struck him and killed him ; but he did not till the night after. Then I went to the town of Liverpool, sod was taken on board of ship—that was on the 9th December— and atesbrought to Birmingham again, and sent to iVars irk gaol, and was tiled on the 30th of March, and found guilty, and suffered the 841 day of April ; but now there's no help for the -misfortune which is the cause of my death, and the Lord have mercy on my soul. Now, Mr. Bowles, when you read this letter in chapel on Sunday, you will gite It to Thomas Grady and I hope what I have done amiss that it will never be returned to any one belonging to me ; for in a short time I expected to go home and make up all I had done amiss; but I can't go. I have wrote this letter about an hour before I died. Now, my dear Mary, I wish you good luck ; and long may yuu live; and now I ant gone, to which I ant very sing fur it. " MICHAEL FORD, his binds, the 3d of Apra." The Rev. Mr. Turville put into the Sheriff". hands two other letters, which Ford had written on the 3lst of libtreh, from which it appears that it was really his intention to confess hi. crime. The following are extracts : " Iwu brought up decently with my dear father, Edmund Ford, and with my dear mother, Bridget O'Connor, and never seen either of them doing any thing out of the way since I was born, nor I did not myself until I got married myself the second time: and now I don't blame any one for it but myself. As for my wife, Mary Grady, shedid not know any thing about it, norany of her friends, nor any onabelanging to myself. As for 'my d ea r w if e . Mary genii), I can give her as good a characte r as ever woman got from bet husband, for she was one of the best-tempered women that I ever knew, both in heart mal in mind, and in soy kind of busi ness that woman could do. ' I hope, Mary, you will get married as soon as you will get the opportunity. am' 1 hope you will look before you, and that you have better luck than what you had by me. And now, M ar y, I hope you will be fond of my child, if stie lives, and it will be ell the same for tom, with the help of (}nd. Now these arc my last word,' that ever 1 will speak to you, though I cannot speak to you now ; but it is ell the same, for these words are from my own hands, but there is no help for this unfortunate death. Now, Mary, my blessing to you from my heart, and I had little thought I should part with you as I have. lam bow going to make a true and humble confession about what I have dine amiss since I was born, to the best of my knowledge. " Now I am to die on the &I of April. A Roman Catholic priest, cf the name of Torville, attended to me ever since I was sent to gaol, and employed a counsellor and lawyer Mr me at his own espense. He has behaved like a brother to ine, and long may he live in health. wealth, and pronperity. But now all's over—but here is now. from my heart, farewell to my dear and beloved wife, and to Thotnas Grady, and to every and all belonging to them ; and here is a farewell to my dear fuller and mother, my dear three mimeo, and to all friends and neighbours. And may the Lord have mercy on the soul of " Fouu."
