Ewart, sailed from Spithead yesterday for Tangier, with his Excellency the Moorish Ambassador and suite on board. At 11.30 a.m. Vice-Admiral Bruce's pri- vats carriage, with Flag-Lieut. Robinson in attend. ance, was in waiting to receive his Excellency at his hotel, where a guard of honour from the Ist Battalion of the 11th Foot, under the command of Major Rowe, with the band and colours of the re giment, was drawn up to do honour to the distin guished visitors. His Excellency and suite having entered the carriages in attendance, were conveyed to the dockyard, where they were received, in the absence of Admiral Bruce, at Spithead, by Rear- Admiral Superintendent Grey, Lord W. Pau let, C. 8., and other military and naval authorities of the port. The Sprightly steam-tender, Master-Com mander Allen, was lying in readiness alongside the King's stairs, and on board of it the Ambassador and his suite immediately embarked and left the harbour for Spithead, under salutes from the ships and garrison. On nearing the Melpomene, which had steam up and was hove short, the frigate hoisted the Moorish ensign and fired a salute of 19 guns. Vice-Admiral H. W.

The match was pro posed by Capt. Suther, musketry instructor to the corps, and was carried out under his direction and Superintendence. The competitors, 200 in number, 'Paired to the marshes at 7 a.m., and the proceed ings commenced shortly after, and continued, with slight i n t • ernussion, until 6 p.m. The place was Crowd ed with spectators throughout the day. The band of provisithe division c was in attendance, and the ne cessarys antler copiously supplied and com fortably served es contributed number of tents erected for the accommod o .ti,„ of the competitors and their friends.

By the proposed contract the same vessels are to bring back from New Zealand 40 officers and 1,200 rank and file to Portsmouth. THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. It has been arranged between the West Middlesex, the North Middlesex, and other rifle corps estab lished in the northern and western districts of the metropolis, to have a field-day and sham fight on Saturday afternoon next on Hampstead-heath. Last evening an influential and numerously at tended public meeting was held at the Lecture-hall, Blackheath, for the purpose of aiding the formation of a volunteer rifle corps, to be composed of the skilled artisans of the district. The chair was occupied by Major H. Farnell, and on the plat form were numerous volunteer officers from Green wich, Deptford, &c. Dr. Carr proposed the fol lowing resolution :—" That it is expedient and de sirable that the skilled operatives and artizans of the district of Blackheath should be embodied as a volunteer corps." Capt. Brandram (Blackheath Artillery), in seconding, alluded to the letter just received from the French Emperor, and which he considered contained a large amount of soft sawder. He trusted, however, that it would not blind the eyes of the volunteers, and he was fully prepared to aid the formation of an artisan corps, not only by words, but by means of his pocket. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Matthews (working man) moved— " That the artisan corps form a division of the 3d Kent Rifles, the cost of uniform not to exceed £3 35., of which each member shall contribute £1 Bs., by instalments, during 12 months." Mr. Webb se conded the motion, which was adopted. On Friday last the town of Workington, Cum berland, presented a gay aspect on the occasion of the presentation of a bugle and colours to the 4th Cumberland or Workington Volunteer Artillei Corps. Shortly before 4 o'clock Mr. H. Curwen, the lord of the manor, accompanied by Miss Cur wen and many gentlemen connected with the county, arrived on the ground, and Miss Curwen presented the bugle, which Lieut. Scott acknow ledged in a brief speech; When the cheering had subsided Mrs. W. B. Gordon presented the corps with a very handsome silk flag. Capt. Curwen acknowledged the presentation. The bugle pre sented to the corps is of silver, beautifully chased and ornamented, and bearing an appropriate in scription ; and the flag presented by Mrs. Gordon bears the inscription " IV. Cumberland Artillery Volunteers." The guns used for the occasion were two presented by the late Duke of Wellington to the Earl of Lonsdale, by whom they were lent for the occasion, and they were manned by the drill officers of the Whitehaven and *Workington Artil lery Corps, assisted by two or three members of the Coastguard. The members of the Ashridge, Berkhampstead, Hemel Hempstead, and Tring Companies dined together in the grounds of the old castle at Berk , hampstead on Tuesday last, Tho chair was filled by Lieut.-Colonel Smith Dorrien, supported by Earl Brownlow, General the Hon. J. Finch, the Rector of Berkhampstead, Captain Purey Cust, Mr. Brice Pearce, the Rev. Arthur P. Cust, the officers of the respective companies, and the gentry and clergy of the neighbourhood. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were most enthusiastically received. Capt. Cust made the gratifying announcement that the companies present, with those of St. Albans and Watford, were about to be formed into the Ist Hertfordshire Battalion, and an arrangement was made for a battalion drill to take place in Ashbridge park, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Smith Dorrien, on Wednesday next. On Tuesday afternoon an artillery volunteer corps was formed at Grays, under the auspices of Mr. R. Wingfield Baker, formerly M.P. for South Essex. About 60 names are enrolled as effective members, and of these 40 took the oath of allegi ance. The Government has undertaken to send down two guns, which will be stationed on the coast for practice. There was a muster of volun teers from various parts of the county, and the offi cers of the Ist Kent Artillery Corps assisted in the formation of the corps. The visitors numbered up wards of 1,000. The movements continues to advance in Suffolk and Essex. At Chipping Ongar, where a meet ing was held on Saturday, up wards of 30 volun teers have been obtained, and about £2OO has been subscribed to defray the expenses incident to the formation of a company. A subdivision has been nearly formed at Epping, and a considera ble number of gentlemen have enrolled themselves at Plaistow as a contingent to the South Essex Rifles. About 30 members have been obtained for the proposed " Scotch company" at Ipswich, in addition to the efficient ordinary force enrolled in the town. The Sudbury corps is now 70 strong, and Sir W. Parker has been chosen cap tain. An additional company is about to be formed at Brentwood among the artisans in the employment of Messrs. Burgess and Key. The strength of the company is expected to be about 00 men. A move ment is also being made for the establishment of a corps in the Saffron Walden district. The Clevedon or Ist Somerset Artillery Company mustered for their first parade in uniform on Wed nesday, the 25th of July, and marched through the principal streets, preceded by the band. The men presented a very steady and soldier-like appear ance. The inhabitants and neighbouring gentry have, for the most part, manifested a generous anxiety to forward the objects of the corps; up wards of £390 have been subscribed to meet the necessary expenses. A small battery is in course of construction by the seaside, commanding a safe and extensive range for practice, and in a central part of the parish a large shed is being built, in which the arms of the corps will be stored, and where gun drill will be carried on during the win ter months. On Monday last the Duke of Richmond inspected the undermentioned carps of Volunteer Rifles :- 10th Sussex (Chichester), commanded by Captain Raikes ; 12th Sussex (Westbourne), commanded by Lieut. Osmond ; the whole under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Nicolls. The Duke, in his unifoim of Lord Lieutenant, rode through the ranks and minutely inspected the several corps. The volun teers, after marching . past in quick time and per forming such evolutions as his Grace desired, and after the general salute, piled arms. After this they were invited to partake of a sumptuous luncheon, which was served in the banqueting-room of Good wood-house. Before dismissing the men his Grace warmly complimented Colonel Nicolls, Captain Raikes, and the officers in command on the soldier like demeanour, dress, and appearance of the volun teers, and on the steady manner in which they performed the required movements.

NOTTINGHAM, Wednesday.—The execution of Fenton for the murder of Charles Spencer, at Walkeringham, took place this morning in front of the county gaol, Nottingham. At an early hour in the morning a great number of people assembled in front of the scaffold, and by the time the con demned man arrived with the gaol officials on the scaffold a vast crowd of men, women, and boys had got together. The street is narrow in front of the scaffold, and the greatest precaution was used in erecting the barricades, in order to prevent a similar catastrophe taking place to that which occurred at the last execution 16 years ago, when 11 persons were crushed or trampled to death. Some of the windows commanding a view of the place of execution were let at high rates. Many people took their places early on the previous night, staying within the barricades the whole of the time until the execution took place ; many came from the neighbourhood of Walkeringham, the scene of the tragedy, and the crowd generally was formed of people of the lowest class. Previous to the execution the culprit was watched night and day, and the Rev. W. Butler, the chaplain, devoted considerable time and energy in attending upon the unfortunate man, with the view of preparing him for the awful ordeal through which he had to pass. These exhortations were listened to with the coolness and indifference which characterised his conduct throughout. The great aim of the chaplain was to urge upon him to con fess his crime. He frequently conversed about the death of Spencer, but up to yesterday had made no direct confession ; his manner and tone of conver sation, however, were those of a guilty man. He wrote two or three letters to his wife, inviting the whole of the family to visit him. His wife and mother haVe had two interviews with him ; upon the latter occasion they were accompanied by his three children. This interview was most agonising, both upon the part of the unfortunate man and the afflicted - family. He was visited on Monday by three men from Walkeringham, with whom he con versed for some minutes on various topics. At half past 7 this morning the wretched man, after par taking of a slight breakfast, was removed from the condemned cell to the robing-room of the County hall, where the executioner pinioned him in the pre sence of the chaplain and governor of the gaol. Prayers suitable to the occasion were read by the chaplain, Fenton took leave of the chaplain and governor of the gaol. He then moved with a firm step to the scaffold. He advanced firmly with a steady step on to the trapdoor, placing himself , without assistance, immediately under the roof ; then, without appearing to glance at the people at all, who at this moment were solemnly silent, he gazed upwards at the sky, as if in prayer, and his eyelids quivered faintly. The hangman immedi ately advanced to do his office, and at once drew the white cap over his face. While his legs were being tied the prisoner trembled slightly ; the chaplain then advanced and whispered some parting words in the dying man's ear. The hangman slipped the fatal noose over the prisoner's Lead, and the next instant the drop fell. A few shrieks from the crowd, a quivering of the wretched culprit's legs, and ail was over • he scarcely seemed to live half a minute after the drop fell. The crowd, which during the whole of the execution could not be termed dis -1 orderly, then dispersed. ;ry . ' ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE, July 31, (Before Mr. Edwin James, Q.C.) James M'Cre, 24, soldier, was indicted for a rob bery, with violence, upon Helena Patterson. Mr. Barrow prosecuted. The prosecutrix, it appeared, was a respectable young woman, and on the evening mentioned in the indictment she was walking across Chatha: Lines with her father, who was some distance in front, when the prisoner, who is a private in the 75th Regiment, with an oath said that money he wanted and money he would have, and he then used some violence towards the prosecutor, and robbed her of a small sum of money. She gave an alarm and her father came up, upon which the prisoner ran off, but he was taken into custody shortly afterwards. The prisoner was convicted, and ordered to be kept to hard labour for two years. When the sentence was pronounced the pri soner became very violent, and it was with great difficulty that he was removed by the gaolers in attendance. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WAirwicx, August 1 (Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) GARRETT V. lIAIVRESFORD. Mr• Field appeared as counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Hayes for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who had been from October, 1858, up to the 7th of April last, the manager of the refreshment rooms at Aston Park, Birmingham, for slanderous words spoken of him by the defendant, imputing to the plaintiff that he had applied the stock of the Aston Park Company to the payment of horse-racing debts. It appeared from the statement of the counsel for the plaintiff, and from the evidence, that about March in the present year the shareholders of the Aston Park Company had become dissatis fied with the conduct of it by the managing com mittee, and a committee of investigation was con sequently appointed to examine into the manage ment. On the 7th of April Mr. Garrett received notice of discharge without any reason being as signed for his dismissal ; he therefore de manded a month's salary, which was given him, together with his testimonials, on the 23d of April. Subsequently, one of the shareholders named Sheffield, called on the defendant and complained to him of the smallness of the profits of the company, adding, " You've made a pretty mess of it, and my opinion is that you're a set of scamps." The de fendant answered that within the last two or three weeks they had found that the stock had gone to pay Garrett's horse-racing debts. It was elicited by Mr. Sergeant Hayes, in his cross-examination, that the plaintiff had had the custody of the refreshment stock up to the 25th of March ; that himself and his wife received over the counter the money taken for refreshments which was put into the till, whence it was taken by Mr. Quil ter and the refreshment committee; that he kept no account of the stores, and that upon a comparison being made by the refreshment committee between the value of the stock received at one period and that of the remaining stock and money taken over the counter in the course of a month there was a considerable deficiency. The plaintiff, however, denied on oath any misappropriation of the stock, nor was it ever imputed to him by the committee of investigation, who in their report acknowledged that they had received from him all possible assist ance. At the close of the plaintiff's case, Mr. Sergeant Hayes submitted that the alleged slanderous words were a privileged communication by the defendant, as a member of the committee, to one of the shareholders, and that the occasion on which they were spoken rebutted any presumption of malice. Mr. Justice Wightman said that he would leave the question of malice to the jury. Mr. Sergeant Hayes not calling witnesses, Mr. Field, in summing up the evidence for the plaintiff, remarked upon the unwillingness of the defendant to appear in the box and deny that he was influenced by malice, although he did not ven ture to justify his words. Mr. Sergeant Hayes then addressed the jury for the defendant, remarking upon the negligence of the plaintiff as having conduced to the losses of the com pany, and led to the conversation in the course of which the alleged slanderous words were spoken by the defendant in a communication, the occasion of which was not sought by the defendant, and which excluded all supposition of malice. The learned Judge having summed up the evi dence, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with 40s. damages. (Before Mr. Justice Williams.) John Izon stood charged with having, at Man cetter, on the sth of July last, maliciously and felo niously killed a gelding, the property of William Thomas. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. O'Brien conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Spooner defended the prisoner. The prisoner was the servant of a Mr. Alkin, whose property adjoins to land in the occupation of the prosecutor, Mr. Thomas, who, having been an noyed by t abbits coming upon his fields from those of Alkin, had told his sons to destroy them. This they did, and the prisoner, it appeared, was greatly irritated at it. There were a number of pits in a field of Mr. Thomas's, into one of which a horse was afterwards found to have fallen, and on the 28th of June the prisoner met the younger Thomas, the owner of the horse, and said to him, I've done you one kindness already, and I'll do you another. I'll be revenged of you if I'm to be hung for it." lie further threatened to put poiso❑ on the field. On the sth of July a horse of Mr. Thomas's was let out quite sound and well, and on the same morning the prisoner was seen in his master's field with a gun. Between seven and eight a.m. of the 6th the same horse was found dead, and upon examination by a veterinary surgeon was founded to be wounded with ball. Three bullets were extracted, one of Which had entered the left lung. Bullets were found in the prisoner's possession, and fitted a double-barrelled gun, also found in his house. Two men who had received from Mr. Thomas permission to destroy rabbits _,,,,~. r_irllE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY"' EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1860. were upon his ground between 11 and 12 on the night of Wednesday the sth of July, and went from it into Mr. Alkin's. They saw, av they swore, the prisoner coming, and conscious of being trespassers, stooped down to avoid his observation. They saw him step out of his master's field into that of Mr. Thomas, where the horse was, and afterwards heard three shots fired and a noise as of a fall, fol lowed by a grunt. Two other men, who were in Mr. Alkin's, and going to take rabbits in Mr. Thomas's field, noticed Izon coming down by a hedge, against which an other man was stooping, and saw him cross the hedge into the field. One of these men saw the prisoner approach within ten yards and proceed up the field by a wall towards the stables. Both also heard the shots fired as from a double-barrelled gun. . _ It appeared that three of these witnesses had been silent as to what they had seen and heard until the Tuesday following, when a reward had been offered, Two of them, however, swore that they had in- formed the Thomases on the Friday. The prisoner was not apprehended until the Tuesday, and on being apprehended stated that he was with his master havinc , some drink, between 10 and 11 that night, and had got home before 11. No witness was called on the part of the prisoner to prove that he was at home at the time he mentioned, although it appeared that he had a son and daughter living with him. Verdict, guilty.—Sentence deferred. Edwin Dawson pleaded" guilty" to a charge o, having made a false declaration before the Regi strar of Marriages at Birmingham, for the purpose of procuring a marriage, contrary to the statute, &c. On the part of the prisoner, Mr. Sergeant Hayes stated the circumstances under which the present prosecution hadhcen instituted, urging that justice would be satisfied by a lenient sentence. It appeared that the prisoner had been a piano tuner, and that the father of the young lady, Miss Frances Blanche Jesset, aged 17, a ward in Chan cery, had, after the death of his first wife, become connected with the prisoner by marriage with his sister. Miss Jesset, finding her home less comfort ' able after this second marriage, went to reside with the defendant's mother, with whom the defendant also lived. An attachment sprung ip between herself and him, and the result was a marriage before the registrar, in order to procure which the defendant had no doubt falsely declared that he and . the young lady had resided 15 days in Birmingham, and that the young lady's father had consented to the mar riage. A suit was afterwards instituted and the matter brought before the Master of the Rolls, who did not think the case one that called for a commit tal. His Honour caused the defendant to be sum moned, and ordered that all the property of the young lady should be settled upon her, which was accordingly done ; he further directed that all costs should be paid by the defendant, and that the papers should be laid before the Attorney-General, in order that he might take such course as he might see fit. The result was the institution of the pre sent prosecution. The learned sergeant concluded by praying that the sentence on the prisoner might be lenient; the father of the young lady, although he had not assented to the marriage before it took place, had immediately afterwards invited the par ties to his house, and had expressed no disapproval of their union. The defendant had sustained great expense by payment of the costs, and any punish ment now inflicted upon him would be visited on the bride by interrupting the marriage so lately consummated. Mr. Mellor, Q.C, on the part of the Attorney- General, said that lie did not wish to press for any unnecessary punishment. The Master of the Rolls, although he did not think it was a case for com mittal, had thought it right to lay the matter be fore the Attorney-General, who had instituted this prosecution. The learned Judge deferred pronouncing his son , (ence until to-morrow morning. m I OXFORD CIRCUIT.—SHREWSBURY, Aug, (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) George Perry, 58, described in the calendar as a dealer in sheep, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of stealiig three wether and one ewe sheep, the property of Mary Partridge, on the 3d of July, 1860, at Ratlinghope. Mr. Chance appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. A. S. Hill defended the prisoner. It appeared that in the month of April last the prosecutrix had 68sheep, which in that month were turned out to feed on Longmynd Mountain, lying on the borders of this county and North Wales. They were all marked in the ears, and ruddled with the owner's mark. In the monthl of May they were examined, but not counted, and some time in June they were counted and several of them were missed. The prisoner lived at a small farm near the mountain, and on the 23d of July Mr. Partridge, the son of the prosecutor, saw four sheep on his premises which he believed to be the property of his mother. He went to the prisoner and told him that the sheep were his, that they had been stolen, and that they had found him out at last. The pri soner said that if they had been stolen, as was said, he would pay for them. He said he had bought seven sheep in all of a man whose name he did not know, on the road at Minsterley, and that he had given 13s. a-piece for them. Hethen offered to give Mr. Partridge £lO or £l2, and at last he offered £2O to make up the matter, but he was given into custody, and being liberated on bail, he now surrendered to take his trial. Mr. Hill addressed the jury for the prisoner, and contended there was nothing to show that he had stolen the sheep, or received them with a guilty knowledge. The jury retired, but eventually found the pri soner guilty of receiving, but recommended him to mercy on account of his age. Sentence was deferred till this day, when Mr. Justice Byles sentenced the prisoner to three years' penal servitude. Mr. Justice Byles was occupied this day in the trial of two persons charged with offences of an in decent nature, which brought the assizes to a close at 12 o'clock. POLICB INTELLIGENCE, Aug. 1. WORSHIV-STREET.—James Barker, a power faullamboaunr,erd,rwesasesdchianragesimowekitfhrotchke, afonldlodweisncgribeexdtraas ordinary outrage : Mrs. Jane Twocock, landlady of a roadside tavern at Bow, called Clay-hall, stated that she securely fastened up her house at 12 o'clock the night before, and as her husband was out upon busi ness, she and her niece seated themselves in the bar parlour to wait for her husband's return. In this way they sat till two in the morning, the lights being out, when she lea.rd the garden gate opened, heavy footsteps advance to the side door, at which there was next a great noise, and the next instant the door, which hal been secured with two bolts and a spring lock, was burst open, and the prisoner, who was a perfect stranger to both of them, came in, walked round the bar into the parlour where they were, and, grasping her niece by the hair, forced her down, exclaiming, " If you call out I will murder you." Witness pushed him aside as well as she could, and, hastening to the front door, opened it, and screamed " Murder !" and " Police !" A neighbour named Johnson fortunately heard her cries, and hurrying to the house with an inspector, who also fortunately happened to be near, they seized the prisoner, who was standing in front of the bar when they entered, and did not attempt to escape, and she gave him into custody. The niece said she was much hurt and alarmed when the prisoner seized her, but, on hearing the cries of " Murder !" raised by her aunt, he released the witness, and ran out of the parlour. Inspector Kerrison deposed to finding the pri soner as described ; he had a common pocket-knife about him, but that was all, and, though the door might have been fastened, he did not think it had been strongly fastened, as only one bolt seemed to have been shot ; there appeared to be nothing the matter with the lock, but the staple looked as if it had come off easily, and he produced it. He thought the prisoner was sober. The prisoner, who seemed bewildered at his posi tion, dclare that he was not sober, or he should not hate acted in the way he was described to have acted. He was a workman in that neighbourhood, and could hale one of the best of characters seven years long. The inspector said that, from what he had heard, he believed this to be a fact, and that this was the first offence of any kind he had been known to commit. Mr. Mansfield said he was willing to take all this into consideration; but, drunk or sober, the prisoner had been guilty of very gross conduct in breaking open a door at such an hour and seizing a young woman in that way. He should order him to pay a penalty of 10s., or go to the House of Correction for 14 days. The prisoner was locked up in default. LAMBETH.—WiIIiam Lane, 3, Hatfield-place, Westminster -road, coffeehouse -keeper, was charged, in compliance with a warrant having the signature of Mr. Commissioner Mayne, that "ho did know ingly and wilfully permit the same to be opened and used by other persons for gambling," and F. Lunn, Bedford-street, Covent -garden ; Henry Slow bon, 9, Howley-street, York-road ;G. Watson, Bryan-street, Commercial road; William Biddle, 5, Union-row, New Kent - road; G. Champion, 4, Penton-place, Pentonville ; G. Hereford, Leather lane, Holborn ; and William Outhwaite, Milton street, Euston-square, were charged with being there for the purpose of gambling. Mr. Neale was engaged for alowbon, and Mr. Denny for Lane, Mr. Superintendent Bickerson, of the L division, produced the warrant authorising him to enter the premises. He said that about half-past twelve o'clock on Tuesday morning he, accompanied by Inspectors Young and White and other constables, proceeded to the house. They passed through the coffee-room, and went across a yard towards a house in the rear. There he, with the other officers, reached a large room, in the centro of which was a large table, round which were all the prisoners except Lane. There were two wax candles on the table, which was covered with. two horsecloths, a tablecover, and a piece of green baize. The room had all the appearance of a gambling-room. There were on the table dice, a dice-box, cards, &c: The thick covering on the table he believed was for the purpose of deadening the sound of the dice. Each officer took a prisoner into custody. Witness after wards saw the prisoner Lane, and asked him if he was the occupier of the house. He replied that he was, and that "it was a bad job." Money was found to the amount of above £lOO in gold, silver, and notes. All the prisoners were taken into custody and to the station-house. The inspector added that the table was in the yard adjoieing the court, and there were produced I a backgammon-board, racing -books, the horse cloths, &c. _ Inspector White proved having found above £76 in gold and notes, which were iu a money-box in the centre of the table. He took Lunn, who said " it was a bad job," to the station•house. Inspector Younc , produced 19 betting-books, two packs of cards, &c. He stated that on Sunday morning, between 1 and 2 o'clock, he watched the room from a place from which he could see what was going on. He heard a bet made of six half crowns to four, and he heard a man who was com ing out of the room say that he had lost from £l2 to £l4. Several sergeants and constables proved having heard bets made at the house at different times. Lane denied that he had anything to do with the premises where the gambling was going on, and Mr. Denny, on his part, questioned the legality of the warrant. Mr. Neale, for his client, observed that there was no evidence to show he was gambling. Each of the other prisoners made some excuse for being there, and most of them observed that they were not there for the purpose of gambling. ' Lane was fined £5O, or in default one month's imprisonment. The other prisoners were fined £3 • each, the fines, with the exception of one, being paid. Lane did not pay his fine. EXECUTION OF RICKS. STARTLING CONFESSION. On Friday last, Hicks alias Johnson, was exe cuted on Bedloe's Island, near New York, for the murder of the Captain of the Oyster Sloop E. A. Johnson, and two of the sailor boys. The greatest excitement seems to have attended this execution. All sorts of boats and barges were laden with persons anxious to see a human being suffer on the scaffold the last penalty of the law. The matter was treated as a curiosity, and steamboat owners posted around the walls with unblushing heartless bills with such headings as "Ho for the execution ! " And they did not calculate amiss : they received no small share of patronage. When Hicks was conducted to the fatal drop, the first view which presented itself before him was the identical sloop, the E. A. Johnson, in which he had committed the murders, which was moored directly in front of the gallows. Thus his last look on this earth was upon the scene of his bloody deed. The E. A. Johnson had a large flag, bearing her name flying, and en the masthead was perched a sailor who waved his cap and hurrahed as the murderer ascended the tree. Her deck was erowded, and a slight :murmur could be distinctly heard on shore, when Hicks was placed under the drop. Deputy Marshal De Angelis took a position on his left and adjusted the fatal noose. Sheriff Kelly came in front and moved Hicks to the centre. The U. S. Marshal with drawn sword stood in front, and before the black eap was drawn over the culprit's eyes, Marshal Rynders advanced and addressed Hicks as follows : " Hicks, if you desire to say anything before your execution you can address the people. Hicks replied in a faint tone, " I don't wish to say anything to any one except my confessor. I wish you to hang me quick." The black cap was then pulled over the unfortunate man's eyes and amidst yells in two seconds after he had expressed his wish, the signal was given and Hicks was launched into eternity. At 15 minutes past 11, the rope was cut. Hicks trembled violently for some two minutes, and then remained quiet. In four minutes a slight plunge of the legs and a violent twitching of the arms was perceptible. After hanging 13 minutes he was lowered and the doctors examined his pulse. He was allowed to hang 30 minutes before he was cut down, although life was extinct in less than 15 minutes. Hicks has made what purports to be a full confes sion of his many crimes. By his own account, Hicks has been a sort of "Red Avenger on the Spanish Main," having perpetrated a majority of his crimes on the Pacific coast, among the Spaniards and Mexi cans. We make some extracts from the proof sheets of the "confession." The amanuensis having taken his seat in the cell, Hicks is represented as saying : " 1: have long felt as though I were the Devil's own, and that though he had served me so many years, I must at last be his ; yet I imagined he would not claim me yet, but allow me to do his work for a time longer. He had stood by me all my life, on ship and on shore, amid the howling storms of the ocean, where every moment the waves threatened to ingulf me ; he has snatched me from their deadly embrace on the battle field, in many a hand to hand fight ; he has seemed to stand by my side protecting me from danger ; and when I have been in the hands of my enemies and escape has appeared impossible, he has, until' now, invariably opened the way for my release. But at last he has deserted me ; in vain I call upon him, he will not answer me ; and I dare not call on God, for what pity should he show a guilty wretch like me ? " For years conscience has slumbered ; I have not heard her voice at all. No deed of des peration has seemed to me too desperate; no crime has seemed too dark or bloody. My soul seemed dead to all remorse or dread, and fear has been a feeling which, until now, I have never known. But in this lonely cell, away from all the ex citements which have always been the support of my restless nature—within these solemn walls, where I see none but those who guard me, or those who come to look at me, as upon some - wild beast ; here, where no sounds fall upon my ear but the footsteps of the keeper, as he paces with measured tread the long corridor outside, or harsh, discordant clink of heavy doors slamming, or the grating of bolts and the creaking of hinges—conscience, so long dead, has at last awakened and now stings me with anguish, and fills my soul with dread and horror. " I look upon my way of life, and see the path marked with blood and crime, and in the still mid night, if I sleep, I act the dreadful scenes anew. Again I imbrue my hands in the red blood of my victims ; again I rob the unsuspecting traveller, or violate the most sacred sanctities of life, to satisfy my greed of gold, or headstrong, unchecked pas sions ; and if I wake I seem to see my victims glar ing at me through the gloom of my cell, or hear them shriek aloud for vengeance on my guilty head. " The past is one great horror The future one dread fear. A heavy, unsupportable fear is on my heart, and I feel as it, did I not reveal its fear ful secrets, I should go mad. " But I have resisted the impulse until now, and would die and tell no tales, but that the history of my life may serve as a warning to mankind, and may benefit my wife, perhaps, though it will make her bow her head in deep shame over the crimes of him who is the father of her child. " I feel that after I have unburdened myself of the secrets of my life, I can die easier, and meet my fate like a man, and though I may go to the gallows without hope, without repentance, 'without any evi dence of ought but misery hereafter, the thou g ht that the sale of this my confession,wili perhaps keep the mother of my child from dependence on such cold charity as the world will show to a murderer's wife, will make me stronger to bear the inevitable doom, which is now awaiting me. " For my own sake I would not have done this ; but for the sake of her whose fate I have linked in life to mine, and for the sake of the poor little child, who I trust will never know who was its father, I give to the world the wretched history of my life." He then proceeded to state that he was born at Foster, R. 1., in 1820, and gives some details regard ing his family, and his occupation, until he was 15 years of age. Then he ran away from home, and commenced his career of crime by stealing a pack age of goods from the railroad depot at Norwich, Conn. Having been arrested and committed to jail, he escaped and shipped on board a whaler, and fin ally reached the Pacific coast. He arrived at San Francisco after many adventures, and became quite noted there for several daring robberies. He was also in the mining districts, and speaks of having robbed miners' camps, and trains of emigrants, and of having as much stolen gold at one time as he could lift. The police evidently got on his traok, and he sailed for Rio on board a schooner. He says : " Nothing of particular interest occurred on our voyage to Rio, but after stayi - ag, there six or seven weeks, and spending nearly all our money in gamb ling and debauchery, we took the road between Rio and Montevido, where we robbed all worth robbing, and murdered all who resisted us. " There is many a whitened skeleton bleaching by that roadside now, on the same spot where it fell by my murderous hand; and the traveller, as he rides along, sees many a place where the grass grows taller and greener than that which surrounds it ; but he little dreams that its roots are enriched by the blood shed by me. If I should travel that road now, I should have plenty of ghostly company, for, though dead men tell no tales, and are b u t d ea d t o a ll th e _ _ world beside, to me they are now living horrors, and will insist in keeping company with me. " I remember one day that, a few miles from Montevido, we attacked a man and three women, all of them being on horseback. We robbed them and should have killed them all, but the women were beautiful, and for once I allowed my heart to yield to the feelings of pity, and we did not mur der them, " I shall never forgot the look of those poor frightened creatures kneeling at my feet, praying me to be merciful, while my partner, Tom Stone — that was his name, I do not think I have mentioned it before—stood a 'few feet off, with his pistol at the head of the man who was gradually divesting himself of everything valuable he had about him." After robbing this party they were suffered to depart. He refers also to the numerous murders com- mitted by himself and comrade between Santiago and Valparaiso, the details of which are given. He was on board the ship Anne Mills, a slaver, and being in danger of being captured, he says the slaves on board were all tied to a cable, and the anchor thrown overboard dragging them after it. After detailing robberies, murders, and ravishings without number, he gives the following regarding the murders on board the OYSTER SLOOP E. A. JOHNSON : " The sloop E. A. Johnson offered an easy prey. She had on board, I supposed, from all the informa tion I could gather, something over a thousand dole lars, and the entire crew consisted of but two boys and myself. " I had never known of or seen Capt. Burr befov..e I shipped with him. He had never done me injury or wrong, so that I had no revenge to gratify, no grudge to pay. " He seemed a kind and amiable man, and would, I have no doubt, awakened kindly feelings in any heart but mine, and even I liked him. Yet, I en gaged myself to him solely and only for the cruel purpose of taking his life, the lives of the two young men, and making myself master of the money I sup posed he had on board. " I calculated to do this as calmly as you would contemplate doing any of the usual duties in the ordinary transactions of life. " I had killed men, yes, and boys too, many a time before, for far less inducement than the sum I supposed I should gain by killing them : and I had too often dyed my murderous hands in blood in days gone by, to feel the slightest compunctions or qualms of conscience then. "I never thought of the consequences of such a crime. The fear of detection never once crossed my mind. I had too often done the same thing with impunity to believe that a day of reckoning would ever come, in this world at least, and I never gave a thought to the world to come. " After engaging with Capt. Burr, I went home to my wife at No. 129, Cedar-street, and lying down on the bed, told her not to disturb me, as I wanted to take a long sleep, and if any one came for me, to say that I was not in. She left me alone, and I then deliberately matured all my plans. I marked out the course I intended to pursue exactly, and after I had decided upon everything, I went to sleep and slept as soundly as ever I slept in my life, my mind was so much at ease, and I felt so contented at the idea of having at last an opportunity of making some money in an easy way. " The next day I went on board and commenced my duties, and in order to ingratiate myself into the good graces of the captain, I did even more than could have been expected f me. " We sailed on the 16th of March from the foot of Spring-street, and proceeded to Keyport, where we remained till Sunday. While here, I scraped the mast of the sloop, did a lot of carpenter work, and accidently pleased Captain Burr very much by my earnestness in trying to make everything look shipshape. "We arrived at Gravesend on Saturday after noon, and waited there for a fair wind. "At last we put to sea, and when we were off the Ocean House, I went to the forecastle, and got an axe, which I put in the boat hanging to the davit aft. " The younger Watts was at the helm, and I asked him to allow me to steer a little while. He consented, and went forward. " In a few minutes I left the helm, and taking the axe, went to him and asked him if he saw Barnegat Light. He said he did not. I told him to look again and pointed with my hand. He turned round and looked in my face a mo ment, but even if he had suspected my cruel pur pose he would have read no indication of it there, for I was as calm as though I was going to do the simplest and most innocent thing in life. " Had I been under human influences the confi dent and trusty way in which he turned his eyes to mine would have made me hesitate, but no such thought entered my heart, and I pointed again and told him to ' Look there ; ain't that it ? ' " He turned his head and peered through the darkness in the direction I pointed, and as he did so I struck him on the back of the head with the axe, and knocked him down. " He fell. " Thinking I had not killed him I struck him again with the axe as he lay upon the deck. . " His fall and the sound of the axe made some noise, which, added to that caused by my running across the deck, attracted the attention of the cap tain, who came up the companion way, and putting out his head asked what was the matter. " I replied, Nothing,' and then asked him, as I had the younger Watts, Is that Barnegat Light ? ' " Captain Burr replied, ' No, you will not see it for two hours ; and as he spoke he turned his head from me. " The axe swung in the air, and guided by my sinewy and murderous arm came down. " The edge crushed through his neck, nearly severing his head from his body, and killing him instantly. " The body fell down the companionway. " As I turned to leap after it, and dispatch my remaining victim, I looked forward, and—oh, God, how I shudder to think of it now l—he whom I thought I had already killed had risen, and was coming aft, his hand outstretched towards me, and the blood running in two dark streams over his pale face, from two ghastly wounds on his head. " For a moment I stood undecided, but as he still came on, I ran toward him, but ere I reached him he fell about midship, and rushing on him, I struck once, twice, thrice with the axe and finished him. " Running aft, I jumped down the companion way with the bloody axe in my hand. "There lay the elder Watts, in his berth, and close beside him the ghastly, bloody corpse of the captain. "I stood a moment looking at him, and dashed at him, and struck out with the axe. " He leaped out of his berth, and sprang at me, all red with the blood of the captain, whose body had fallen past him, covering him with gore in its fall. " He tried to grapple with me, but stepping back I gave the fatal axe a full swing, and struck him again, again and again, once upon the head, once on the back, and he lay dead at my feet, side by side with the captain. " My bloody work was done ! " Dead men tell no tales. " I was alone. No eye had seen me, and now I was free to reap the reward of my work. " I did not feel the slightest regret for what I had done, and went about removing the bodies, as coolly as though they had been so much old lumber. " I took rope and bent it on to the feet of the elder Watts, hauled him on deck, and threw him over the quarter. I then hauled the captain out in the same manner, and threw him over ; and then going to midships, I lifted the body of the younger Watts from the deck, and plunged him into the sea by the starboard side. " I then threw the axe overboard, and as soon as I had done this I changed the course of the sloop, and ran in close to the Hook. " My intention was to run the sleep up the North River, and then fire her ; but I same near running her on the Dog Beacon, abreast of Coney Island and Staten Island lighthouse, after which I fouled with a schooner, and carried away the bowsprit, so I put the money and such other articles of value as I could pick up into th e y aw l, a n d then scut on ashore, three miles, landi ng jus t b e low the for Staten Island. " My movements after landing are well known ; and when I looked ba c k u pon the fat seemed to dog my steps, it seems as though the that the fiend who so long had stood by me in every emergency had deserted me at last, and had left me to my own weakness. "But I never thought of this until after my arrest. I had no shadows of a presentiment that I should be checked so suddenly and brought to justice, and on my return to New Y or k made arrangements to go with my family as coolly a as if nothing had occu w rr a e y d which should counsel me to u4e caution. "But on that fatal night when I awoke from a deep sleep to find the officers of the law standing b y m y bed, for the first time fear overcame me, and I grew faint and weak as a baby. Great drops of sweat started out of my forehead and all over my b o dy, and then I realised that at last the master whom I had served so long had really deserted me and abandoned me to my fate. "But to all outward appearance I choked these feelings down, and none who saw me dreamed of what was passing within. "My task is done. I have related all the awful details of my life with as much minuteness as I can, and now nothing is left me but to prepare to die. " I ask no sympathy, and expect none. I shall go to the gallows cursed by all who know the causes which will bring me there, and my only hope is that God will in his infinite mercy grant me that spirit of true repentance which may lead to pardon and forgiveness in the world to come."
