MR. FAUIVTLEROT. PARTING INTERVIEW WITH HIS SON AND BROTHER. On Monday Mr. Fauntleroy, soon after ha rose from a sound might's repose, was visited by the Rev. Mr. Sprin gett, who info-Intel him that the Sheriffs had given direc tion+ that his son and brother should be permitted to remain with hint until three o'clock. and that they then must take their Coal leave of him. He appeared extrenwly cheerful after breakfast, and after lie had prayed with Mr. Springett for half an hour. his son and brother entered his apartment. He said, upon seeing them, "I do not fear this intervi ow, became I know that we shall be all able to bear it. We ere met for the last time, and you see me re sietted and without fear." His son took his right hand, while his brother, who made a great effort to be as calm aml tranquil as himself, sat by him and took his left. The turnkey who has been employed in watching and waiting upon him, rctired to another corner of the apartment. " Suppose," said Mr. Fauntleroy, " we read a prayer or two, it will make us more cheerful. I always find it elevate my spirits." Mr. Fauntleroy's brother immedi ately took the prayer book which the Rev. Mr. Cotton had put into the hands of the unfortunate man upon his first entrance into the prison. Ile made two or three attempts to read, but they were ineffectual. His son, who seemed much more firm, in fact, at every int rview with him, then took the book and read a prayer. It was one in which the redemption of mankind was powerfully described, and which spoke of the assurance which a repentant spirit had of salvation and happiness. The unfortunate penitent had read it fie quently ; he hail referred to it in his moments of greatest agony ; and it had green him comfort amidst all the accumulated horrors with which he was surrounded. The prayer was as follows: " Oh God of merry, to whom are known the workings of all hearts, grant me to raise my heart above the fear of death, which must, through the mediation of thy Son, had me into thy everlast ing presence. For his sake had thou promised unto thy erring, but repentant creatures, a remission of their sins. For his sake hat then prminved to remove the frailty of human passion, when it pleassh thee to call them before thee, anti to place them where. in the divine light of thy countenamv, they may enjoy abundant bliss ; where there shall be no hopes to be disappointed, no fears to be stirred un no pa-lions to be exasperated, but where thy be nignity, as it h asi reflected upon cards, by the mission of thy Son Jesus, will evermore exalt thy creatures :o bear a great and exceed ing weight of glory." The effect of this prayer was visible in the countenance of the unfortunate convict. lie clasped his hands toge ther and cried aloud, " Oh, Gad, hear that prayer! I give thee thanks for the bright scent a which you have placed before my soul. You have put a mail, stronger than that of iron, round my heart—you have clothed me in the impenetrable armour of thy holy spirit—and here I stand, ready and anxious to behold thee !" His brother, although affected even to sobs and tears, upon his entrance into the prison, received comfort from this irresistible proof of the firm hope of a happy immortality. lie ex pressed his feelings in terms of the most ardent affection. " If," said he, " you leave the world, Henry, in such a :ontlition of mind, you can have nothing to lament. In the presence of God you will appear before we altall, whom you leave behind. Your happiness shall commence, while those around you who now grieve at your fate, will still have to struggle onward to the grave, through all the sharp varieties of affliction." " My only pain, my dear brother and son," said Mr. Fauntleroy, " now is, that the stain upon my memory will, I fear, extend itself to all who are dear to me; that the sin I have committed, and committed, God knows, not without remerse, that turned my days and nights to bitterness, will lie visited in the natural in dignation of mankind upon those who bear el my affec tions ; that they will have to hear the scorn of men, and to be branded with the offence of an unfortunate but peni tent criminal." His brother combated this apprehension, I which hared has powerfully affected him during the whale I period of his imprisonment. "It is," said Mr . Fauntle r oy. " a consolation to me to know, that there arc men who form a candid estimate of hrerhudiskskentl - ar-ls.:- tima4l,3•Pb4.....iiiprlatagesso Li my crime was always stronger than my fears of the conse quences, great as they were. From this subject they passed to that of the future con duct and prospects of the boy, who, tinting this eonversa tint), held his father's hands between Ks own, and intently gazed upon his face. Fanntlerov addressed hint, in a most solemn tone, in these words—" My beloved hope-my poor, fatherless boy, in a few hours I shall be no more. You must supper: your mother's heart. It is to your affection she has to look for comfort. Oh, what 1 felt at the dread ful meeting with her ! lint we will pars over these things. Be tender and obedient to her, Henry, for your father's sake. I am, it is true, a great criminal; but that God, before whom I am en the point of appearing, knows that I , meant to atone for my crime, but now that atonement is' impossible, lam satis fi ed to leave the world, only lament ing that my departure will be no expiation." The boy's face was bathed with tears while he answered his father's dying request, by declaring, that he would ever honour and obey these under whose protection he was left. Mr. Fauntleroy's brother then, somewhat relieved fmm the anguish with which he had been overwhelmed, took up the prayer-bee:, aril accidentally turned to the prayer which his nephew had a little while before read. He re peated the first words, and then was passing on to another part of the boot;, hat Fauntleroy said to him, " Go on : it cannot be read too often—it breathes comfort to my poor soul." That prayer and many others were then read, and at half-past twoo'ciock they knelt down, and continued in the attitude and language of supplication until the Sheriiii sent up notice that they must separate. The unfortunate Fauntleroy rose shrviy, the tears gushing front hie eyes over his broiler and his child, who still clung to his knees. Fauntleroy embraced his brother, who was scarcely able to support himself, and then h:s son, who seemed, upon this awful occasion, to exhibit some evidence of his father's Fenn nest. Ilia son kissed both his hands and exclaimed, "God take you to himself—God bless you." his brother uttered not a word, but was led out of the altar matt by the turnkey. Five minutes after their departure, the unfortunate Fauntleroy recovered his usual calmness, and expressed a wish to Fee Mr. Springett, to whom he said, " I have, my clear Sir, experiemeal the most extraordinary Liminess from these g oal pecple by whom lam surrounded. To the burns nityotMrs. llarris and her husband (one of the turnkeys), I am under pertiettler oltheatiens, and I request that, in the morn'ete seh n I aat going to die, you will take a ring off my Imp: anti present it to the good woman." Mr. Sprineett premised to do an. " J have row," said he, e Sprineett, one relmet to male of you—l believe it is the last, a:the:tell I cannot say, for I ant a poor complaining creature." " Ask me any thing," said Mr. Springett, "it shall be " And yet," said Mr. Fauteleroy, " it is hard to exT , et yon, will ynu, stay up with me until my tltne arrives?":."

Mr. Fauntleroy was visited in the evening by Mr. tortes and Mr. Mayhew, who took leave of him, and then his whole time was wholly occupied in prayer up to eleveo o'clock. Mr. Springett then beg,;od that he would tale oil' his clothes, and take a little sleep. lle said he could lie down in his dressing gown for a short time, but before he did so, he requested that his friend would not stay away from him any length of time, but that he would return and join hint in prayer. Mr. Springett did not leave him for more than a quarter of an hour during the night, which was spent by both of them in prayer. Neither of them could be said to have had ten minutes' sleep, but Mr. Fauntleroy uppeared refreshed after having washed his face and hand s in cold water. At five o'clock he break fasted upon tea and a biscuit, and soon after teas visited by the Ordinary and Mr. Baker, and the sacrament was ad ministered to - him. lle betrayed no impatience for the moment of execution, but waited firmly, and in a state of the moat perfect resignation. lle made no inquiry as to the crowds who were collected to witness his execution, and. seemed quite indifferent to every thing except the thought of eternity. He remained in this composed state for two hours and three quarters, when he was told by the (heti , nary that his time was nearly arrisetl. Exzetitip, N. - . Yesterday morning, at elskelciock, the awful sentence of the law was put into execution upon Henry Fauntleroy. From the earliest dawn, the streets leading to Neweate were crowded to excess. Tlsr windows opposite the gaol were let at extravagant priecs-L-the rods of the houses also fetched considerable prices, and not a single spot was unoccupied that could command a view of the awful scene shortly about to be exhibited before the assembled thousands. On lid similar occasion do we remember to have seen public curiosity brought to so high a pitch of intense interest; and, in truth, it was a scene that can never be erased from the memory f those who witnessed it—it would require a heart steeled against every human sympathy not to have contemplated it with the deepest emotion. Humanity, in ordinary instances, instinctively shudders at the idea of a sudden and ignominious death. This in-born instinctive feeling, which we have written in our hearts, and which is inseparable from our nature, arises within us, as in the present instance, with renewed and augmented force, from a consideration of the accidental circumstances by which the sufferer was surrounded in society. To behold a man doomed to the dreadful death which Mr. Fauntleroy suffered yesterday—who but a few days ago moved in a respectable, and even important station of life, by rank, by profession, and by education at least a gentleman, pre sents as powerful a picture of melancholy contrast in the condition of human existence, as it i: perhaps possible for human imagination to conceive. There are other con siderations which are calcuisted to awaken a sympathy for the fate of this unfortunate person. illiatever may have been his faults, to his oodntry they are expiated—death has set its seal upon them • but amidst his imperfections it should be remembered he was not without his virtues. Actions that bespeak a kind and generous heart. are recorded of him, and even in the bour of adverse vicissitude there were not wanting honourable men to tender the testi mony of their good opinion and esteem towards Lim. The excusable observance of the good old maxim, " Da mortnis nil nisi bonusn," naturally leads one not to deny the sacred ti. sad immunities of the grave, even to the unfortunate who are no longer of this world. It may be permitted one to be the palliator of that ot which be would not, could not, be the apniogist. These sentiments arise from that pity that no breast could refuse to feel for Mr. Fauntleroy, at the time he stood under the beam, and the revolting ceremony of his melancholy mode of dese,h was in act of preparation. The " iron scourge" of feeling that afliicu d bun at this moment was infinitely more painful thin " the torturing hour" that ID'ld it; feature watt Turgb.sed with horror and wi th a sine. Uri eihirtiliterr.eit kiblett;eltieria:rkbots, his visage was of the roost eleadly piliel line, and Le stood motionless as "monumental bronee." He was attired as on the day of his trial, in a snit of full Mack. His frame was kts robust than on the day of his trial, owing, of course, to the great agitation and anxiety of mind he had undergone since his conviction. There were, we regret to state, a sot of fellows, in the neighbourhood of the scene of execution, bawling papers, purporting to be a full and true account of the execution, before it actually took place, and whilst the unfortunate man was in a state of suspension. This miserable mode of making peace cannot be to wvercly deprecated. At a quarter before eiglit o clock, the Sheriffs arrived at Newgate, and . proceeded immediately ito . the risoner's room. The prisoner gently bored to them on perceiving that they were present; but he made no observations. -entsining as if his thoughts were wholly hem on prayer and eternity. Besides the Ordinary of Newgate, the Rev. Mr. Cotton, there were the Rev. Mr. Spriagett, and Ma. Bak. r, with the prisoner. Mr. Spriogett, as we hare alrraily mentioned, had remarried all night. Mr. Baker returned to the prism about four o'clock yesterday morning. The sherifil soon afterwards caused it to be intimated that the hour for the float close of the prisoner's sufferings approached. and that they must proceed to the upper condemned room. Dlr. taunt. leroy was so absorbed in reflection, that lin did not hear the cem tnumeation. Mr. Baker repeated the Sheriff's intimation. Mr- F. gently bowed, and signified that he was prepared. Mr. Sprinott end Mr. Baker conducted the prisoner from his apart ment, end though he walked somewhat firmly hut slowly, they had to guide hit steps, as he kept his eyes constantly closed. It was about ten minutes before eight o'clock, w hen they arri red in the upper condemned roam. M r . F. retained his resigned firm ness. The Rev. Mr. Cotton read the customary Service in an im pressive tone. One of the Sheriffs' teen proceeded to pinion the ! primer, by tying the elbows behind. This ceremony seemed for 1 a moment to s i ctute him, but the emotion was transitory. lie clasped his hatitir very fervently, and versed his brows once or twice, as if ejaculating,—" NVell, Lard !—' thy will be dorm !' " lie resumed his rteadiness of countenance, keeping his eyes cloned. but his head ermerrhat elevated. His hands reatained clasped, and, except raising them up and down two or three times at most, he never afterwards refired them. While the ceremony of pinion iag was performing. Mr. Baker, in particular, was very earnest in prayer with the prisoner; and now and then there were slight Mill rtiWn. that he acknowledged the influence of, and joined in, the supplies ions for mercy. But ht did net appear to utter one word, nor did l'e say any thing. except very resignedly breathing " Yes, yes!" Ininng the whole of it.:, titalle, both in his room and in the upper condeni,-e apartment, he did neceince spriest to look around loin to observe who wine present. To this wo fia h em med w h o lly dealt: he appeared to have lest all anxiety to reenenize any one; i at titres he lofihed as if he endured prayers of robins, rather !

Mr. spris..ett, and 51... !teller, still contlrieimg tot earl side of biro and their support of hol t I- -.or, rititinned trove l~: ~'~. rein his nett posture and solemn step. Ile took his station im mediatelyunder the rope. with his clasped hands projected before him, and his head elevated, but with a perfectly unmoved counte. ranee. Be seemed quite unconscious of the surrounding multitude. The Rev. Mr. Baker, at this moment made some remark, or joined in prayer with Mr. Fauntiemy ; and towards the close of Mr. Baker's last communion with him. the prisoner vow faintly uttered, we rather breathed rut, Yes, ye -4, yes!" He wide no other oh. serration; he spoke not to those about him; lie seemed to have nothing further to impart, or to do in this world. lie appeared calmly to await the closing of the scene. The last awful prepara tions then commenced. Mr. ibeln began to loosen the prisoner's neckerchief, but it was finally taken off by the executioner. The cap was next drawn over his face, the rope adjusted around his neck, and after that hail been done, the executioner tied the prisoner's neckerchief over the cap. and acmes the eyes. The prisoner still remained immoveable ; continuing the *Mutat al. ready described. The itcv. Mr. Cotton resumed dm reading of the funeral nervier; and once or twice that part of the cap which covered the prisoner's mouth was raised, as if he were repeating a word or two, or saying ." Amen I" While the scm-ice was •er.ding, the platform dropped, apparently only about IS or 11l inches; but the drop was so meetly and sudden. that the body was not agitated by it. Wr observed but oneconeulsive motiOn, when the shoulders were only afield,' raised. So early as twelve o'clock on Monday night the awful prepara tions were commenced fire the dreadful ceremony, and the workmen were emfloyed in erecting six beery barriers, one of which extended from the corner of Newgate.street to the top of Skinner street, and two intermediate ones between that aye! the seeflidd. Three others were placed down the Old Bailey towards Ludgate-hill, and each were guarded by a party of constables to prevent the square be. tween each bamer getting tun crowded, by which judicieus precau tion the populace would be enabled to escape, would there have been soy necessity for it. IS one **clock there were onwards of two hundred persons as. senibled in the Old Bailey, who seemed resolved on securing their .dues, by keeping oo the spot all night, but it being intensely cold, they altered their opinion, tend went home to their bed one by onc, till they all disperse d . . . . . . . 'At three ieekick, thole persons who paid for their seats at the windows of the dwelling-houses commanding a view of the ma. chine,began to arrive, and by four, or half-pot, al! the moms front top to bottom were filled. Many respectable-looking females 'etc Very piomlnerit at the windows, all attired in deep black. Soon after four o'clock, the dreadful engine was drawn from the Old Bailey Court.vard by two horses, and pl4ccil opposite the fatal door. The meh began to prepare it for the awful business that was to take pier', and having fixed the beam and enclosed the whole with iron chains, they strewed a large quantity of sawdust on the floor. which they continued to repeat at intervals. The multitude new began to arrive from all ring of the me. tropolis and its suburbs, and by half-past floe there were more persons assembled than we remember to have seen on any recent occasion of this kind. The space between Flert.lsne and the crd of the Old Bailey. In Nevrgue-street, was literally choked up with persons of every denomination, amongst whom were a gaeat num. bee of females. About half-past six o'clock, the Marsha'men, and Herring. the conductor of the City Police, arrived, and were met by at least three hundred and forty extra constables, who were placed in diTerent stations to preserve order. By seven. Mews. Brown and Cope, the two City Marshals, arrived on horseback, and took their stations in the circle round the scaffold, which Wns well guarded by constables. The mob now became almost incalculable, and up to the fatal hour they continued to pour in from every three-00n, by hundreds ; it extended es roam-downward. as far as Ludgate:till, and upwards as far as the gates of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, in Smithfield. Skinner.strect, Newgate.street, and thltspur-str , w, were also thronged, and the coaches c-ruing into town were obliged to take a circuitous route, to get to their destinations. In Oiltspur.street there were numerous carts and waggons platted. which were tilled with persons who bad paid to get up; and just as the clock was about to gintre awful warning. anti every eye was turned towards the spot, the ilhafts of a cart broke, and dime in the body, men, women, and children, were thrown out over the hone. This accident alined great confosinn and alarm, but no material injury was sustained by arty person. Shnrtly ftheT, a hackney. coach broke down under its load, and a young man had his arm dislocated. Every window and the tops of the houses were thronged with spectators. Precisely at four minutes and a half peat eight o'clock the un happy man ascended the fatal scaffold. 111 r. Fauntleroy stobd firmly with his face towards Ludgate-hill, and seemed to he repeating a prayer. The executioner mounted the steps behind, and placed the cord about Ws neck. As soon as the drop fell, a gentleman, dressed is black, who was sitting at Mr. Allcroft's window, the King of Denmark public-house, burst into tears, sad was obliged to be assisted out of the room. The body. after hanging one hour and one minute, was cut down, and placed in a shell, and carried into the interior of hiewgate, preparatory to its being fetched away by the frlends of the deceased. We sbewhi imaging there Irmo weeely NOON ;ersons lumps* bled on the ores:don t and **Mg to theexceltrerretstineut., Mei were made, no nisterial aecitllnt happened. The crowd conducted themselves with the greatest decorum, and silence was only interrupted on Mr. Feuntlemy ascending the seer. fold, by a man that stood close to it, who exclaimed very vehe mently, " (hid bless you !" About half-past four, a heavy shower of rain descended, which compelled a part of the crowd ttiseek shelter. A little after flee it cleared up, and these who had Bud begun to resume their places around the inmest !rimier. . Mr. Faintlerny wrote letters of thanks to the Governor of New. Rate, the Sheriffs, and Mr. Barrett, for their humane and unremitted attention to him during his imprisnament. He left his spec. titles to Mr. Baker, as a memorial of his esteem; his writing. desk to Ilerris, the turnkey; and, as we said before, his ring to Mrs. Harris, as acknowledgments of the great kindness they had shewn him in his captivity. When the cap was taken off his face, there was no appearance of convulsion ; the countenance was quite placid. The Ordinary declared, after the execution, that he never wit nessed so much liminess since the death of Tidd. who was hangrd for treason with Thistlewood. Mr. Fattatieroy's hand, when he WWI upon the scatrohl, was as warm ns that of a person under ordi. nary circumstances. The hands of nmst persons who die by the law are, when death approaches, cold and clammy. MR. FAUNTLEROI"S FAMILY. The situation of Mrs. Fanntlemy can be better imagined than described. She ctritinues in the most profound afftiction, and her health has seriously punted from the anxiety and wretchedness to which she has hem subjected. All that the consolations of friendship and the warmest sympathy of those who knew her or her husband (and many of the latter have brag sufferers by Mr. Faunt. leroy'm conduct) could effect towards alleviating the wretchedness of her situation has, however, been dune. and her pecuniary circum. stances are not such as to occasion any anxiety for her future pro. vision. A great portion of the itico,ne which she d.2rived from her husband wiil now be lost to her. but we understand that ahe in herits from her mother a sulk:lent annual SUM to counterbalance this deficiency. At a late hour yesterday morning no communication bad been made to her relative to the last moments of her husband ; but the Rev. 31r. Cotton had been sent for, at her own request, from whom she will derive spiritual support. and such informs; ion as :qr. Fauntleloy in his last moments might have desired to communicate. Her , cia has been sent out of town, for the purpose of keerin; bin from a scene, every object in which must tend to sh..rp:n his affliction. We observed the eagerness of the softer sex to secure places for the exhibition, and cannot now omit noticing a circumstanee which struck us a the very moment the fatal signal was given : The house-tops all round were thickly peopled, indeed chirty with women, both old arid young, aid on that of a shlernaker at the corner of Skinner-stmt. an elderly woman had cln:nbereil to the ridge, from which she must hare ha d a very distinct vizir of (retry thing passing at the sea:lola ; hut whether it was from a sudden impulse of fear, occasioned by looking down from her stupendous e s s ie s siop„, ear utither that s better feclin;,—namely. that of 'in. pathy—on the irt.brot thafThe wretched man was latua-locd into eternity. she was observed to reel Irvin the spot on which sSe loop& and falling on the tiles, rolled clown into the gutters, rnere her progress was happily arrested by a parapet wall, cr she n ust have been precipitated into the street.
