EXECUTION OF A MURDERER. jThe following account of the condemnation and execution of a negro named Attention alias .3faquita, at Cayenne, in French Guiana, appears in a French Paper. For more than nine years past the negro Attention had spread terror through the forest of Guiana. He had escaped from his master, and had become leagued with all the deserters from the co lony. Several detachments had been sent against him, but they had never succeeded, and the super stitious children of Africa looked upon him as a su pernatural being, whom neither the Indian arrow nor the European bayonet could wound. At length, however, he was taken j in the mountains of Kaw, and his wife and another negress- were also apprehended with him as accomplices. He was tried and con demned to death by the Criminal Tribunal of Cayenne; but he appealed to the Cour Royale, and the circumstances of his case were again investigated. When he made his appearance in Court the greatest attention was excited. He was a man about 40, of middle height, but of colossal proportions, and the two women were placed at the bar with ,him. He persisted in denying the crime of brigandage im puted to him, but admitted that he had run away from his master. In reply to the various accusa tions of highway robbery made against hint, he said that if such crimes had been committed, the authors might perhaps belong to his band, but he had no participation in them. The Court, however, confirmed the previous sentence, and he was ordered for execution. At seven o'clock the next morning he was brought out of prison ; he had on a red cap, and wore a shirt of the same colour. He mounted the cart without the least emotion, and the execu tioner, Antonio, placed himself by his side. The moment the horse proceeded, the culprit began to sing a song in a sepulchral tone, which struck the spectators with astonishment and terror. He was inattentive to all around him, and his savage and melancholy aspect indicated the most determined firmness. He continued to si►ag until he arrived at the place of execution, and he descended from the cart in the most careless manner. He refused to have a bandage placed over his eyes, and the execu tioner had raised the axe three times without daring to strike the blow, such was the terror which the prisoner's glance inspired. At last, however, the fatal stroke was given, the head rolled from the scaffold, over which the blood gushed in torrents, and the Child of the Niger was launched into eternity. The execution attracted a great ma►►y spectators, such spectacles being rarely seen, as the infliction of a cap►tal punishment at Guiana is be coming less frequent than ever. Maineluke having won the tan)) at the last Newmarket Meeting, his owner, Mr. GULLY, now holds the championship of the Turf, as he once did that of the Ring. The first English Physician employed at Court was JOHN GADDLSDEN, who was called to attend EDWARD 1., when ill of the small-pox. Before that time none but foreigners were employed. Mr. SHEARSAIITII, surgeon, of Worthing, has published the following treatment in case of hydropho bia : —" On the morning of the 19th of May, 1809, a dog in a highly rabid state ran through the villrge of Findun, five miles from Worthing, and in his progress bit a servant of Mr. TATS, then , residing there, who sent him to me as soon as possible after the accident. The patient was a youth about 17 years of age, and the wound was on the ball of the thumb, presenting the usual rugged edge of bites of this description. I advised him to submit to the exci sion of the bitten part without loss of time, to which he reluctantly assented, and 1 set about it immediately. From the application of the knife, and the excitement he was under, he became faint, and I directed a young pupil I had of only a few months' standing, to take down a bottle (labelled at that time Aqua Ammonice Pure) for him to smell to; a disposition, however, to complete syncope made me de sist for a short period, and I desired my youthful assistant to pour some water into a two-ounce graduated measure on the counter and give him to drink. Participating in some degree in the situation of the patient, and his eye catching the word Aqua, he instantly poured out nearly the measure full of volatile solution instead of water, which the other as instantaneouly swallowed. Its effect upon the latices and oesaphagus may readily be imagined, and his convulsive start from the chair, and the agony de picted in his face at tl.e moment astonished ma ; but cast ing my eyes upon the counter, I at once saw what had oc curred. Real water was now resorted to, of which he drank copiously, to cool the fiery qualities of the previous libation, and I finished the operation. Ile returned home, and, except the inconvenience he felt on the score of de glutition, mastication, &c., for a few day; went on well requiring merely a little aperient medicine; the wound healed kindly and rapidly, and no symptom of hydropho bia was the result. I have detailed the above case with a strict regard to truth, and without pretending to account for the modus operandi of the Medicine, or venturing to. recommend it undiluted and is so extraordinary a dose." Gazette. CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 2 7. 0 n Friday last, the Rev. John Haymes, 8.A., of Clare-hall, was elected Fel low of that society. The Rev. Wm.

" We, the undersigned, Ossak Aga, Osman Aga, and Asian Bey Monhourdari, having been beaten in a battle with the Greeks at Pietra, on the 12th in stant, and being now too weak to be able to pass that position by open force, have requested the Commander-in-Chief, Demetrius Ipsilanti, who com manded the Greeks in the said engagement, to al- low us to pass unmolested, and w s- .0 have obtained his consent on the following conditions : " Article 1. The Stratarch D. Ipsilanti engages to evacuate the upper fortifications of Pietra, com manded by the Chiliarch Christopulo H. Petro, at break of day, and when the hostages shall have been exchanged. " Art. 2. He will deliver up all the Turks who are prisoners in the Greek camp, as soon as the Turks shall have freed all the Greeks who are prisoners in their camp. " Art. 4. He will accompany the Turkish troops with the requisite force to Boudonnitza, in order to ensure their safety, and the hostages will be ex changed there. _ _ _ " ossak Aga, Osman, and Asian Bey engage— Art. 5. On their road to Boudonnitza, not in the least to injure the inhabitants, their harvests, or their cattle. " Art. 6. To take away with them the garrisons which are now in Livadia, in the Khan of Cali, TurcochOri, and Fontana—that is, to evacuate en tirely those positions, and to leave the garrisons of Boudonnitza, &c., as far as the Thermopylae and Alamauna, as they now are, and without strength ening them. " Art. 8. The Turkish troops will begin ;their march when the Stratarch shall have Informed them that the upper : f ort ifi cat i ons o f Pi etra h ave 'been evacuated, and when the hostages shall have been exchanged. " Art. 9. The Greek prisoners are to be given up before the Turks begin to move from Pietra. " Art. 10.

[The third and seventh Articles merely mention the names of die hostages exchanged.] On the night of Tuesday week, a gang of poachers i nva d e d most of the estates i n t h e neighbourhood, the chief o bj ec t b e i ng the destruction of pheasants. Th e y visited in success i on, or in separate part i es, the estates of 'lenders),4e, Newton, Satchel, and 4be Duke of Itox- Button's, and succeeded in cotnmitting considerable de predations. Titis is the first instance of such a "southern" uttack in this generally quiet neighbourhood ; and as meant are taken to prevent a successful recurrence, it is to be hoped that the misguided men will not make another at tempt. The penalty for the offence is transportation, and the Judges have already declared their determination strictly to eofure premises consisted of five stories, had a front of nearly 60 feet to Mitchell -street, and extended about 800 feet east, where they terminated with a strong gable, behind a large tenement in Buch3nan-street. Part of the building was only finished about 18 months since, but the principal portion was erected 13 years ago. The flames had gained such strength by the time the alarm was given, that soon after the whole range was in one blaze—and, perhaps, never was such a magnificent scene before witnessed in Glasgow. About the commencement of the fire, it was ob served that the flames were bursting forth from the first story of the west front and the roof, at the same moment, while the flats in the centre were perfectly dark. The buildings were principally stocked with cotton; but in the tipper flats of ,the east end a considerable quantity of grain had been stored.. About eleven o'clock the roof of the whole range fell in, and the sublimity of the scene at' that moment is indescribable. It was followed soon after by a large portion of the f ron t wa ll i n Mitchell-street. A wright's shop in the immediate neighbourhood of the fire, was repeatedly on fire, but by the assi duous exertions of the firemen, whose sole attention was directed to these properties, any thing like se rious damage was fortunately prevented. At half past twelve o'clock, a large part of the south wall to the eastward yielded, and fell outwards with a hideous crash. It laid in instant ruin a two-story house, occupied by a renovator of old clothes, and as the madder store of H. Monteith and Co.; and although 111 r. Davidson, and several other persons, were in the act of descending from its roof, they all miraculously escaped. A part of the north wall soon after this yielded; and next morning only the east and west gables were standing. Measures were soon taken to pull the east one down ; and this was effected by the passing of ropes around portions of it, and pulling it inwards by a windlass. Bales of burning cotton heaped upon bales, and rafters upon rafters, continued even to this evening to sustain the flames; and, at the west front, for hours after it was subdued in other places, the fire continued burning with the greatest fury, as if in mockery of the firemen's exertions, notwithstand ing that water continued to be poured copiously upon it. The damage, it is estimated (though of course a mere estimate), will amount to nearly 50,000/. ; for, with the exception of Messrs. Monteith's pro perty, not a bale of cotton (of which there were about 4,200 bales in the store), or anything else, has been saved. The following insurances are effected on the property, besides 3,0001. o n M essrs .

This was par ticularly the case in Paisley, where the watchmen became so alarmed that they sprung their rattles, thinking, from the lurid glare that overspread the sky, that some part of the town was burning. It is not exactly known how the fire originated ; but it is supposed to have been occasioned by a spark from the pipe of one of the carters, who were, it is said, in the habit of smoking about the premises. WAVERLEY.—ERASNIUS pledged the ma nuscript of his celebrated Latin Bible with a Jew for three ducats; and MARTIN LUTHER, on his return home from the University of Frankfort, was compelled to part with the books in his satchel at every cabaret where he stopped for refreshment. There is an on dit that the MS. of " Waverley" lay for three weeks in the desk of a City book seller, without its even having been looked into. A young gentleman, an agent of the then Mr. SCOTT, entered the shop of a bibliopOle not far from St. Paul's Church yard, and offered the manuscript for publication, saying, he lived at Highgate, and would call in a few days ; the bookseller bowed, and promised a perusal ; but whether from carelessness, or from want of success in a similar line of publication, when the gentleman called at the end of the time stipulated, the manuscript was returned untouch ed, with the usual thanks for the preference given, ac companied with a remark to the following effect :—" That he (the bookseller) had perused it carefully, and must say it was very ably written, but he must decline publishing it." The young man felt disappointed, and has since stated that he would have sold Waverley for fifty pounds. . . A young girl, of a smiling countenance, and with an air of confidence, called upon M. FRANCOIS, and demanded some oil of vitriol (sulphuric acid), to prepare some wax-work. M. FRANCOIS, without any distrust, served her with what she demanded. This young female set immediately about the execution of a sinister project. Her lover was about being married to another girl ; she wrote to him, and appointed an interview for the next day. The young man hastened to the meeting to protest the state of despair he had been himself thrown into; but the unfortunate girl does not give him time to explain himself; she goes into an adjoining closet, and returns, saying, with the greatest sang froid imag . nable, that she has poisoned herself; for such, in fact, was the use she had put the sulphuric acid to, which she bought of M. FRANCOIS. She died before the face of her lover, who in ♦ain endeavoured to procure assistance for her. M. FRANCOIS appeared this morning before the 7th Chaos. ber of the Correctional Police, for contravening the laws and regulations respecting the sale of poisonous sub stances, and for having, by his imprudence, occasioned the death of this young girl. He was acquitted of the lat ter charge; but on the pleading of M. HARDY, N. FRANCOIS was condemned in a penalty of 1,000 francs for having► sold poison without registering the same. Journal des Debats. MANNER OF PRODUCING A QUEEN BEE.-- One of the most astonishing facts connected with the eco nomy of bees is the manner in which, when deprived of their queen, they proceed to repair their loss. For this purpose they construct several of these royal cells, and, taking a common worker-worm out of the ordinary cells, they put it into a royal cell, feed the insect with royal food, which is more pungent than that destined for worker-grubs, and, in a few days, instead of a worker - - they have a queen. This extraordinary discovery, made by SHIRACII, has been confirmed by HUBER, and is now admitted by all naturalists. In many parts of Qerotany the peasants, availing themselves of this discovery, are enabled to multiply their swarm of bees at pleasure. They shut up a few hundred working bees with a piece of honey-comb containing common grubs three or four days old. The worker-bees immediately set about destroying some of the common cells ; construct royal cells in their stead, deposit the grubs in then a cells, and administer to them food proper for grubs destined to become queens. This experiment is constantly repeated, and never found to fail. In the proper time a number of young wens is produced, the supernumeraries are destroyed, and at length only one survives to govern the Wve. Thus won derfully does nature provide for the preservation of the spec:lee—the lives of ,thousands of those insects depending on that of a queen. In order to guard against the possi, bility of extermination she has taught the bee the miracle of converting the whole of the instincts and organisation of one kind into those of another, by the simple means of providing a different and more pungent kind of food for the subject of its marvellous experiment. There seem•, however, to be a natural provision fur this change, for it is found that all the workers are imperfect females, whose organs are not developed. The food simply furthers this development. But whether we look to the design or the means used, or the circumstances under which it is effected, it is one of the most striking facts in the whole range of wand bistory,--Family Librar. , ...,.. .

Mr. Otway Cave, M.P. and Mr. Henry Hunt were 'among the number of those present. Mr. Gossa moved a series of resolutions. Mr. POWNALL seconded the Resolutions. An assurance had long ago been given by the Legislature that something should be done for these unfortunate slaves; and so long as that pledge was unredeemed, so long he trusted would the voice of the people of Surrey be lifted up in the cause of humanity. Ac : cording to the most accurate calculation., slavery swept from the shores of Africa 150,000 of her inha bitants every year; and if this number were to be multiplied by the number of years from which the system had been going on, it would be found that the number taken from Africa would exceed the popul a ti o n o f G reat ' B r i ta i n.-- , Another false way of looking at the subject was that so much insisted upon by the planters—the de based intellect of the negroes. But they were not always so; who first peopled Egypt? Who bad erected the wondrous pyramids of old ? Who had handed down to all posterity those wonderful hiero-: glyphics which still told in mystic character what . Egypt had been ? Let them go to their Natio na l Museum, and study those everlasting porphyries, if they wished to know what Africa and Africans had once produced.—(Hear, hear.) It would not; therefore; do to say, that the negrea mind could not be expanded : in those relics were to be found the heraldry of their former science and the aerials of their pristine art. Seven years ago Mr. Canning had pledged himself that those measures by which emancipation wa= pointed out should be carried into effect, and in 1826 this promise was reiterated ; and vet, in the very last session of Parliament Sir G. Murray, in answer to Mr. 0. Cave, contented him self with merely repeating that means should be taken for effecting the desired object. Ile was will ing to concede that Sir George Murray was actuated by feelings of the most enlightened kind ; the course that he had pursued with respect to the Cape of Good Hope indicated thut. But this went to show not only that they were justified in holding the prese , t meeting, but also that it was necessary, us expressing part of the feeling of the country on the subject.— What was the present situation of the slave ? In the first place, he could be imprisoned at the pleasure of his master; in the next, he could be fl , igged at his owner's discretion to the extent of thirty-nine lashes, for any offence alleged; and no doubt, in those islands, the mere circumstance of having a black skin was looked upon as an offence. Then, if a slave happened to lose his deed of manumission, and was found loitering about, he could be confined in the poor-house for a certain period, and then re sold as a slave. The murder of a slave, it was title, was a capital crime ; but then the evidence of a negro could never be received against a white man, and, consequently, whatever took place in a planta tion pretty well passed over in the dark. In Domi nique, for.any outrage short of murder a white was fined 401.; and in Jamaica the fine was 10/.; but the worst of this was, that none of this vet ut to the slave himself, but to his master in compensation for his loss of services. Another disability tinier which a black laboured was, that he could not recover at law any debt against a white, so that if a kind mas ter left a sum of money in his will to his slaves, there was no one whom they could sue for its reco very. By .the Returns from Berbice, it appeared that, in the course of one year, there were 5,939 males,-and 3,173 females flogged, out of a slave po- Pulationof2l,ooo ; and itiDemerara 12,160 males and 8,461 females suffered the same torture within a like period. In the Report of Sir Lowry Cole, too, he was grieved to find that that Governor - had ex pressed his conviction of the necessity of continuing the system of flogging females—of which the bare _ mention was ao disgusting and revolting to huma nity, that he was sure it could not be mentioned in that room without a shudder. It had been said that he whip was not an instrument of torture; he had hen in his hand one which had been made after the plan of the whip used in the Mauritius (Mr. Pow. null here produced a most frightful engine, the lash of which was about five feet in length, and made of tough thong plaited round; in the thickest part the lash, we should think, was about an inch and .a quarter diameter); that was the instrument to which no torture attached! The Demerara Report con cluded by stating, that the negrOes appeared to be quite content with . their situation and conditic o , All he could say was, that he wished he had the flogging of such a man as that.—(A T o carry on such a system was surely conttary to the laws of God, and no law could have the power of authorising such things ; tyranny might, but law never could. The Resolutions were then put to the vote, tend carried unanimously. Dr. EDWARDS rose to move a vote of thanks to Mr. Otway Cave. For three or four years prior w the last Session nothing had been done on the suh, ject in the House of Commons, but last yoar my.

Gentleman had, however, been re: solutely opposed, though he (Dr. E.) must conted. that he did not understand upon what grounds,— He, however, was happy to say, that he understood that it was the intention of that Hon.

There Masan old say ing, that a man was seldom a prophet in his own country, and though it was not his intention to palliate, in any de gree the sufferings of the slave in the West Indies, yet he thought that people in looking abroad some. times contrived to jump over their own groureis, It was said that slaves were imprisoned at the plea sure of their master; but he would appeal, to th e Chairman, and to the Magistrates present, if there were not proceedings in this country equally cruel. (Hear, hear.)—Let them look at, the man who was arrested for some trifling, unmeaning trespass—it was true that the Magistrates could not inflict upon him 39 lashes, but he could send him, vrithout ce remony, to the tread-mill for three months -.a pet. nishmeat which,in his opinion, was infinitely greater and more dreadful than 39 lashes ; and in this case be it observed, there wag no more interference be tween the Alagistrate and the tread-mil( than be tween the slave and the whip•—(Appisuse.)— Supposing a man with a starving wife and perishing family went into a preserve end snared a hare, was there any Jury then between him and tho tread. mill ?
