Grace's zeal for the success of the Club was in no degree Ousted, as hi• liberal offer of 145 guineas.- in premiums fur the next year, would testify. Sir John concluded by giving— " The Doke of Bedford," which was drink with three times three, mod great applause. Theta." Semen to the Smithfield Club"—three times three. Sir JOHtt then proceeded to read the adjudica tion of the prizes, according a. we have already stated them at the head of each Claw, i►► our Paper of Saturday. On Mr. John Westcar's cooing up to receive his piece of plate in Class 1. at the hands of the Chair. man, Sir John paid him a neat compliment, ai the most successful of graziers, and proposed the health of " Mr. Weslaw." Mr. Jolts Jones's health was next drank. after Sir John had presented him a turdul, as the breeder of Mr. Westcar's ox. Mr. Robert Masters, on receiving his plate, in Class 11. Isis complimented by the Chairman, is promoting a breed of cattle adapted to general use, and his health was drunk by the company. On presenting the plate awarded to Ins Excel lency Earl Talbot, in Classes 111. and VI. and a medal, through hi+ agent, Mr. Jeremiah Gliders, Sir John paid a high compliment to the Noble Earl, by repre►enting him 84 one of the hest breed ers of Hereford cattle and new Leicester sheep which this country had to hoed—and as bring, in all respects, the zealous friend of his country; and concluded by proposing " Earl Talbot," which was drunk wish three times three, an.l applause. Mr. Hrnry Boys (a young man, the son of an excellent farmer and breeder) next appeared h e r.re the Chairmsn, to receive his plate in Class IV. and received. compliment on the griminess of his sheep, which Sir John concluded, in his usual facetious manner, thus—" Mr. Boys, if you are not a good farmer, there is no truth in breed"—and the com pany drunk his health. Mr. Boys, in a modest and neat manner, thanked the company, and ascribed his success to the flock of Mr. Ehnen, from which his wethers were bred. Mr. George Dodd, on receiviiitz the plate in Class V. was highly complimented on the excel lent stock he possessed, of other kinds besides pigs, fur whickinly he had hitherto been a candidate. Dodffs health was then drunk. Mr. John Price was not present to receive his plate in Class VII.; but his health was drunk. Mr. Ralph Oldecre next received his piste in Class VIII., and his health was drunk. Mr. JOHN ELLMAN being called on to receive his plate in Class X. rose and said, that he did not in tend to accept it, but as he considered Mr. Stephen Cruntham's sheep to have great merit, and he was a deserving young man, he had transferred the pre.. *llium to him, and had caused the label in the yard to be altered to that effect. The latter part of this speech excited strong marks of disapprobation from a part of the company ; which, on inquiry, our Re porter understood to arise from its being corisider ed not of the province of any candidate to dispose of a premium, which, on his decliratig to accept the the same, belonged to the Club ; and more so, that the Judges should, by labels on the cattle, be re presented to the public, as having awarded prizes to others than the animals to which they actually had assigned them. Sir JOHN SUMMIT took this occasion to ani madvert in very strong hut just terms, as the com pany appeared to admit, on the conduct of another c•►udidate (whom we understood, on inquiry, to be Mr. William Wright. who, during the Shew, in coarse language expressed his dissatisfaction to the hy-standers, and offered hats on the decision of the Judges as to the weight of his ox) ; and lie said, that when Gentlemen undertook so arduous and anxi ous a situation as that ofJ udge,it became the duty of the Club to support them in every fair exercise of their judgment and discretion—a sentiment in which the company heartily concurred. Sir John concluded by giving— ., Tin unincersafel Candidates." "Tbe JuJges of t►e Show"—with three Omen three. Mr. BANNISTER returned thanks for hitn.elf and his colleague., and said, the Judges had done their best ; and if any one perceived errors in their con. ittitt that day, he trusted they would consider them those of the head rather than the heart. Mr. GUNNING, propmed " The Health of Sir John S bright"—which was drunk with antl and thundering amid:lure. la returning thank., Sir JOHN said, he ' , wanted words to express the gratification he felt at the applause of such an areemblage as the present; but he should drink all their good health* in return. " The Health of Mr. /talky, the Father of the Club," was drunk with three times three. '• Lard Suinerville"—" Mr. Coke, of Norfolk"—&e. &e.

It will be seen by an account inserted in another I part of our Paper, that Driscoll, Weller, and Cash man, were exec:liter] lam morning for forgery. In cau•equence of the recent acquittal* at the Old Bailey, and the exertions made in favour of these unhappy men by some humane inilividualv, it was generally expected that the Royal mercy would have been extended to them ; and it is distressing to think that the unfortunate convicts themselves had, to the very moment of their being led to the scaffold, entertained hopes to the same effect. With the infatuation of men hanging upon the verge of eternity, and clinging to every delusion of the mind, in the hope of discovering some means of safety, they could not believe that any Government sincerely anxious to maintain even the semblance of consistency in the criminal judicature of the country, could suffer them to be put to death► at the very moment that others were discharged of the same offence, and on the same evidence. The un happy men were mistaken, and without impugning the humanity of the Noble Lord who presides over this distressing branch of the general administra tion, we may be permitted to lament that any cir cumstance should have occurred to throw a doubt upon this boasted attribute of the Noble Lord's heart, while the apparent impolicy of such an act is not a l►ttle calculated to render the qualities of his head no less questionable. It is surprising with how much indifference men clothed in the fuluen of their " brief authority" can witness the pangs of parting life, the feverish struggle between hope and dread that agitates the bursting heart, and yet bear to hear themselves called humane and pious ! Whatever may have been the guilt of the unhappy convicts executed last morning, there at least ex isted in their peculiar cases circumstances suffi cient to induce a careful revision of the evidence by which they were convicted. There needed no indecent hurry to cot the thread of their miserable existence; and if their conviction ass found to have been produced by such evidence as was sub sequently insufficient to satisfy the conscience of a Jury, some sacrifice was due to decency and the appearance of consistency, and not a man in the country would have quarrelled with the advisers of the Crown had the Royal mercy hero extended to these convicts, or had the capital punishment been commuted to transportation. It will, we are aware, be urged that a capital sentence in case of forgery has never been remitted, and that it would be flange to deviate in any itistance from this principle. To this we reply, first, that the peculiar circumstances under which these men stele convicted, and sentenced, would justify an act of mercy ; and, vecourfly, that in di,- playing the Royal clemency the Crown would only exercise a di,cietion %loch has been assumed for a considerable time by the Directors of the Bank of England. Those, thrrefore, who argue upon the impolicy of all V11.111:4 t he Crown to remit a sentence, ill case id forgery, allow the BAIA a di*. cretionary power which they deny to she Sovereign, • and strip the Rayal authoriV of its ❑oblest pre vegative, to invest it in the spirit of monopoly iii trading Company. If it be the cruel policy of this country never, under the most favourable circum stances, to pardon an individual who has committed the crime of forgery, why should the Bank of Eng land be permitted to exercise such a power ? We may attempt as n►ach as possible to deceive our selves by forms and names, ■nd admit shadows to perform the part of substances ; but the truth must finally prevail, and we cannot now disguise from ourselves that this anomalous power enjoyed by the Bank arises out of the harshness of the sanguinary and impolitic rule for restraining the exercise of the Royal prerogative. The KING could not pardon, but the nation, including even the advisers of the Crown, could not endure to witness repeated ext.. cutions. To escape the horrors of this self-created difficulty, the Legislature interposed, and, without removing the spell that paralysed the Royal pie rogative, they lodged a discretionary power in the Bank, mud enabled the prosecutors to choose their victims, who, without a chance of escaping, were bound and handed over to the ministers of their offended deity. What uncertainty could be created by restoring the Royal prerogative, greads. than must arise in the public mind from this prep oniony deci►ton of the Bank ? It is well known, that among the prisoners charged with uttering or possessing forged notes, the fate of the individuals is considered to re.t upon chance, and those who ■re selected for death conceive themselves, and are regarded by their fellows, not as more criminal, Out as less fortunate than the others. They con sequently are pitied by all around them, and, unfortunately for themselves, meet their fate with u bitterness of feeling, a hardened desperation, and an angry frame of mind, ill-suited for those so lemn offices which should prepare them for the final pang of existence. The evil contemplated by tho►e who closed the stream of mercy has this acquired a tremendous height, and could not, by the remotest possibility, hose increased in magnitude had the blood of Driscoll, Weller, and Cashman, been spared on this melancholy occasion. The l'at NCI: REGENT would have tasted the exquisite enjoyment of giving life, awl 'tramps future happiness, to three fellow -creatures, while to the public eye the art of mercy would have appeared to be a sacrificer to consisteucy, nod a generous tribute to public opi nion. We know it has lately Income quite hi shionable to despise and ridicule popularity ; hut though it may prove magnanimity to conteimi t! , e voice of a people's gratitude, it can never be wit.. dom to seek an occasion of thwurtiii4 the general feeling of society.

The people of Lisbon are very in. dignaut at the preference 'hewn by the Royal Fa mily to their Trans-Atlantic possessions, as they are distressed by the constant drain of troops and money for raising the Br.,zils into a powerful empire. In the meals time, Portugal is exposed to the power of the Court of Madrid, exasperated as it is against the Court of Rio Janeiro, on account of the occu pation of Monte while its flag is insulted and its commerce destroyed by the cruisers of the ludependent Governments of Swath America, which capture the Portuguese ships in the very mouth of the Tagus.

These convicts underwent the i4O manitite of the law, last morning, 111 the prest•oce of all immense concourse of spectators. No execution, of a r.celit date, has so mucu engrossed private and publi:• at.. tention ; and some exertions were made to obtain mercy for three of the unhappy delinquents. John Driscoll was tried before Mr. Justice Bayley, on Monday, the 14th of September, but he had previously pleaded Guilty before the Common &dean', who, after much trouble, prevailed upon hint to retract that plea. The chief circumstances against him were these : (ln the 11th of July lie went to the shop of Mr. Sporston, No. 29 Bedfordhury, and pur chased a gateway of velveteen, which came to 41. 71‘.. is payment of which he tendered a V. note, which afterwards turned out to be forged ; lie gave a ficti tious address. He also uttered another forged 51. note to a publican bring ii. Fashion -street, Sitital. firlds; and at his lodgings in Lamb's -court, White cross-street, a rolling-pin was found, the top of which screwed off, and in the inside of it were found five other 51. notes of a similar description to those which he had passed. Weller and Cashman were tried before Mr. Justice Burrough. and the brief circumstances against them were these woman named Fears obtained an itoroditction to them at the Coopers' Arms, in flatti!.l(l.stri.et, and after a deal of caution and a variety of tnaine Ayres, she secceeded in purchasing ten 1/. tui:es lits them at 7s. 6d. each. She obtained others, in exchange of a watch ; and a police officer also, named Sellera, purchased from them four 51. notes, at 2/. each, and ten 1/. notes, at gs. each, a!I forged. The offence of which John NVilliains wt.. eotivicied, was for a burglary in the tiwellinghmuse of Mr. Deboust, and atedl.ng plate and wearing apparel to the amount of 701. and upwards. Mr. 1). lived at Edmonton. At half-past seven o'clock the rimer and Under Sheriffs arrived at the Ceiirt-eme•e, shortly afterwards proceeded to the Pretts-yiiril, into which the unfortunate men were soon introilaceil. [What tratiApired here we cannot say, us the She riffs, contrary to a rule observed for these last five years, precluded the presence of our reporter, and all other persons except their own friends l] The three unhappy men for peptise; forged notes, until u few deys before their execution, were !mov ed up with the hope that their sentence would be commuted to transportation. Weller was young used excessively ignorant, and has spent the greater part of his life in crime; and at first he appeared to despise all kind of religious consolation, but as the fatal moment approached, he became so licitous to join in prayer. Driscoll was a Ca tholic, and has all through evinced a lamented degree of hardihood ; he was attended by the Reverend Mr. Devereux, the Catholic Priest, but to the last moment. denied the justice of his sentence. He was the first who mounted the plat form, which he did in a most hurried manner, but with great agitation. Having ascended it. he gazed wildly around upon the spectators, and once or twice pushed his cap from his mouth. Weller was the next ushered to the ecatfuld, and he exhibited a considerable portion of firmness. Williams bil lowed, and his conduct throughout has been moat exemplary. He admitted the justice of his piiiiish inent, and his whole time has been devoted in pre-. paring his soul for an awful eternity. alias Emanuel, fur this we understand to be his name, was a Jew, and by the tenets of the M sale religion he was not permitted to sleep during ine night ; he was attended by a priest of his own per suasion, and a Mrs. Ripley, a celebrated Quaker wares', who manifested great anxiety foe his future state. She accompanied hint even to the scaffold, but there her feelings overcame her, and she burst into tears, The priest who attended him furnished the executioner with a peculiar kind of cap, which was substituted for the ordinary one used utrin such occasions. The Rev. Mr. Cotton attended et an early hour, and administered those religionist consolations which alone are capable of rendering the human mind tranquil under g reat a weight of suspense and affliction. By a quarter-past eight o'clock al; the unfortu nate malefactors were duly tirratit4e(l, Driscoll la bouring under great emotion and a g itation. The Mosaic priest, the Mr. Devereux, and the. Rev.
