It will be recollected when in our butt we noticed the passing sentence upon Ohmic, we adverted to the infientAilitv and hardihood of the Prisoner, " 4 ".

We beg to mkt, that the following details rest nii an authority unquestionable, bring communicated by a pions gentleman who had constant access to hum in his cell during the period of which we now par ticularly speak. and whose Christian zeal and per severance in bringing him to • suitable sense of his ',writ' condition, are as commendable as his efforts were successful. Mr. Keeling, immediately on the removal of Al'lonis from the bar, after his conviction, o► the evening of Saturday week, followed him to his cell, nod humanely 'offered his services to assist him in his devotions, and a preparation for the fate that awaited him. Mr. Keeling's proposal was met by the Prisoner with► the most determined repul sion ; he blasphemed in the most horrid manner ; said t h at Isis sufferings would soon terminate ; was sore, that when his body was dead, his being would e annihilated ; and declared, that in the mean time. ilie Almighty had neither the power to save or to .Irs►roy the following day tSundaS•) Mr. Keeling re newed his rise, hot no improvement was visitrle in his mord condition. Oa being asked. whether lie would permit prayer to be Made by bins, lie sternly 'Aiwa *horning, ' 4 that he detested pieachisig wort' pliesteraft, ■trd that he would have smite of it ;" that .he was so Atheist. and was determined In leave the world with the persuasion that tin Su !Keine ewe► existed. Before the close of this in terview, linatalrer. bresu►e somewhat more disposed to liSten to the evideuces which his friend itddsteed in support of she Christian system, and to the espn§.ltilatinits which, wills a reeinig solicitude, lie addressed to him ; and finally admitted, that if 111 v: Ktttlmg's doctrinelvas correct, he was lost for tits?. Oa Monday morning 111‘Iiiiiis received sentence of death. and was apprised that the law would be xvcated upon him on the following Saturday. Mr. Keeling again attended him ; l►e found him neither surprised. nor apparently appalled. During this conversation M'lsinis's confidence in his infidel principles teemed to be staggered. when Mr. K. pivoted home -with redoubled energy the truths of Christianity ; and with such effect as produced an acknowledgment that possibly it might be true. tie ,siew consented that his spiritual adviser should pia/ wish him ; lie seemed for the first time to Alia in devotional exercise ; ou rising from his knees.. appeared snore thoughtful, and swiftest's, s no t Lk K. would soon ',pent lass vial. Accord. ley, at four o'clock in the afternoon of the some day, that Gentleman attended liiui, when lie ex pirated au tamest wish to be corrected, if lie had eastreacert error. On this occasion. the unhappy maw termed awe cordially to enter into the spirit of devotion, and wept. When leaving I , Mr. K. obtained ti premise, that he would address him self to God its private prayer; and with this assur wwee Mr. K. departed. We do sot think it needful to make any further obi...maims here. than to remark. that it was in reference to this precise period that the following letter alludes, in the description it gives of his con tl►ct, after.bsissing his knee u► private. This letter was written on the following day, anal address . ed to sr yputeg woman of his acquaintance its Stockport. [The letter above alluded to lias already been gives, in this Pinter.] !Narver the infidel or the profane may be dis posed to treat the smite described otiose. as the ..sionary freirty of fanaticism or delusion, we dare i.ut deny to it the genuine marks of a divine inter position. vouchsafed in an extraordinary manner eon an ettraorilinaty occasion.

The hour now approached when the Prisoner had to leave the Castle. One important affair was yet to be completed. From the very time of hie trial. he had constantly affirmed that Bruce had not shared in the rr mintlity of his atirmpt upon life. Whether upon hi. ow n motion, or upon the suggettion of others we know not, hut at this awful peplum!, he drew sop, and *ivied with his own hand a detlaroti iiii purporting—" THAT No PERSON AVHATEVER WAS CONNECTED WITH. OR KNEW OF ill! INTENTION OF SHOOTING BIRCH." It now only remain...) for Al'l • to take trove of Ins fellow-prisoners; and in ibis lest office of friendship he was accompanied by Mr. Keeling, owl the humane Governor, Mr. Hudson. Ise their peramLulatiou to the different wards one of the prisoners feelingly remarked, addrers.ing himself I. .e. " he was sorry to see him its such circum stance.," when the latter replied, with a smile., " Sorry ! you ought rather to rejoice that I shall so soon be io bravest." After dlr. Keeling hail in Mr. Hudson's house 'gam committed the dying mass to heaves., by prayer, he was placed in 11w cart, and proceeding to Glover's-stater, was given ist churge of *lw City Sheriff., send the mournful procession moved on a. before described. M.liinis held a Bible in his hand during his pro cress through the streets, io which he iiiireinit. tingly continued to Tool, without liking any notice of the surrounding multitude. The portion of Scripture en whit li leis attention was fixed. as re commended to him by Mr. Keeling, was the 27t11 chapter of St. Matthew's Goys& That gentle. man assisted him in descending from the cart. and on asking how lie felt his mind supported, tie answered, that he found himself quite com fortable. Ahont half en hour was occupied in the Rouse of Correction before he ascended the scaffold, during *lad' he preserved the 'distort com posure and tir ttttt rris. Mr. Keeling first asersidtd the drom'and was followed by M'l assisted by another person. Mr. Willati, chaplain, followed, and read the service. In the mean tithe r the Gilmer gentleman placed himself exactly in front of my, as a with a view of preventing discomposure of mind. from beholding the vast concourse of people. Mr. Keeling remained with him on the drop a few minuted, reading to him from the ind chapter of Luke, the short history Of the penitent thief, and thcituraging Ins hope in Jesus Christ. To the last moment lie conti tttt erl In express his unshakeu con fidence in the mercy of the Redeemer. It was expected that lie would address the peo ple: on this inihject Mr. Keeling had conversed with him, end he had said that he should lie guided by his feelings at the time. All that he said, just before the cap was pulled over his dace, was, with r firm audible voice, Gentlemen, farewell!" After his devotions were concluded he al:neared iu great haste to lie gone; and berme the hangman had tunic to lower the drop. he had giver the visual, by dropping his liandkerchef. That we have been so minute in the account of this unfortunate moo, way receive an apology from the peculiarity of his circeinstaocer, whether in re ference to the destructive principles 1w had im bibed, the striking evidences of his conversion, or the magnitude of Ins crime. A newspeper may he thought tit improp, r medium through which to introduce moral dissertations ; but who that loves his country, or irsereures his Maker, will be r fleirded ut our deprecating the doc trines of infidelity, which, while they deprive turn of the hopes of a better world, unloose every obligation of morality. end give them the unre strained license of sporting wills the liar. and pro petty of their fellow own. The subject of this mournful narrative ascribed to the etiolation of these principles ell ti.esee evils he had been guilty of, and particularly that which hod brought him to the gallows. In Mr. Keeling's intercourse with Al'lnnis, he greatly deplored the influence of infidel principles upon his conduct. lie mud, that he sir%er con nected I self with the Itadiciels ; that he thought too meanly of their spirit; but he lied deeply drank of the essence of disaffec , and was ptrpar►d So go city lengths in resistance to GOVC/11111C111. It will be recollec►ed, that in January last Mil aaaa is made an attempt to escape out of the Castle. In advert ing to this circumstance. lie said, that if he hail effected Ins lourpme, it wet probable many lives would here been lost ; that his first ititention was to assassinate Mr. Lloyd. of .Stockpurt. and the,' Birch; and be declared the pistol actually Grid at the latter was loaded with an intent to kill the former: that he hail beer' looking about for Mr. Lloyd that cirri:lug, but could Hot hod Ia i 000 ; and stir' wards theetoug with Birch, he directed bra veil- • liquids, josi befoie he left the Cantle. fur miecatiew, look lbw precautiuu of declaring before a Magistrate, that it was his aisle that the IS. should be put into the posers. shin ref Mr. heeling, mod that lie ►hould be permitted to make such are a it as hr judged proper; and when at the iluuse wf t:uriecttuii, just bef.o►e he escaladed the seaffuld, he repeated the same iiquest to the two Sheriffs.
