I of l icense possessed by a Protestant and responsible Minister. The CHAIRMAN proceeded to, read the other clauses of the Bill. Mr. TRANT complained that he did not know in what Way the clauses were passed over. The CHAIRMAN accordingly read the last clause again. Mr. Secretary PEEL moved the insertion of two Clauses ---one relative to the taking of the Oath by Ro lolto Catholic Members of Parliament; and the other pro viding that no person in Holy Orders of the Church of Rome, though otherwise duly qualified, should be capable of bein g elected a Member of the House of Commons ; and that if any Member should take or receive Holy Orders from the Church of Rome, his seat should become void ; AO if he should presume to sit and vote, he should be sub ject to the penalties of the Act of 41st of Geo. 111. The new Clauses were agreed to ; and some verbal Amendments made in the other Clauses. The House then resumed, and the Report was brought "P, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on Friday next. IRISH ELECTIVE FRANCHISE REGULATION BILL. On the motion of Mr. Secretary PEEL, the re-commit- Merit of this Bill Was postponed till Thursday neat. IRISH ESTIMATES. Sir R. INGLIS asked at what period it was intended to bring the Irish Estimates forward ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it would be hardly possible, considering the state of the busi ness of the House, to bring them forward before Friday se'nnight. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the Hbuse adjourned at Half-past One o'clock. LIS Ox xi. icilUai's SE( A.rchdall, M. Ashurst, Astell, W. Astley, Sir J D. Banker, H. Banker, G.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Af.•ssager des Chambres of Sund3y.) PARIS, MARCH 21.—(Extracts from the German Papers.)—Letters from the frontiers of Moldavia say that General Count Diebitsch, immediately upon his arrival from St. Petersburgh at Jassy, sent orders to the Commanders of all the corps of the Russian army on the left bank of the Danube to concentrate their troops as speedily as possible, in order to be able to commence hostilities at the shortest notice. This time, say the letters from Jassy, the Turks will be attacked with more vigour; and it is said that the campaign will not be con cluded .without the Sultan's being obliged to make peace. The left bank of the Danube is cleared at almost every point from the Turks. The fort of Ghiurgevo, opposite Rudschuk, the only place which they still hold, will be shortly attacked, and a bridge of boats will be made at a small distance from it, for the passage of the troops which are to invest Rudschuk. In Bulgaria the young grass, which furnishes the best forage for the cavalry, promises to the division of General Roth a crop more abundant than that of last summer. The season never promised to be more favourable for carrying on war ; and the ope rations may commence in Bulgaria and Servia at the very beginning of the spring. There has been, not far from Pravadi, an action between the Russian and Turkish advanced posts, in which the latter received a considerable check from the corps of General Wittgenstein, who is suc ceeded in the command by Count Diebitsch. Ge nerals Kisilow and Von Berg are also removed to another destination, if they have not been deprived of their command. A great number of German Officers who compose part of the staff of General Diebitsch, are to command under his orders in the next campaign. Universal regret is felt at the departure of the excellent Count Pahlen, who, as Civil Governor of the two Principalities, in the most difficult times, had reconciled the duties of his office and those of justice, as much as possible. His successor, Count Zoltuschin, has thought it necessary to begin his career as President of the Divans of the Principali ties, by severe measures, imprisonments, depriva tions, &c., that of the Metropolitan Gregory, who was appointed by the late Hospodar, Prince Ghika, has made an unfavourable impression; he is said to have been implicated in a correspondence with a Turkish Governor, and is to be conveyed to Mohileid. The materials for the bridge which is to be built to cross the Danube at Hirsowa, are to be brought from the very distant mountains of Moldavia. (From the Gazette de France, dated Monday, March 23.) TOULON, MARCH 16.—We know nothing here but the affairs of Greece. Perhaps you are not aware that most of the Greek slaves, whom a silly philanthropy thought to redeem in Egypt by carry ing thither 600,000 francs, have returned to the Morea against their will, and took the advantage of the first vessel they could meet with to go to Alex andria, and return to their old masters. (From the Constitutionnel of Sunday.) Ro3ls, 10TH MARCH ( Private Letter.)—As dur ing the Papal interregnum the supreme puwer be longing to the Conclave is exercised in turn by three Cardinals of each of the three orders, renewed every twenty-four hours, and that the Ambassadors of the Powers may have occasion to communicate with the Government their communications through a narrow shutter, in presence of witnesses, never theless, the presentation of their new letters of credit is made with great pomp. This ceremony began yesterday; and M. Chateaubriand was pre sented this morning. Already there is much con versation about the Noble Peer, and the splendid harangue lie pronounced on that occasion. He is unfortunately, the only Ambassador of a great Power who is thus to contend against the efforts of the Jesuitical faction. I have been able to pro cure a copy of that speech. After expressing the sor row of his Royal Master for the loss of Christianity in his late Holiness, he proceeded—" Future successor of Leo XII., whoever you are, you hear me no doubt at this moment: Pontiff at once present and unknown, you are about soon to sit in the chair of St. Peter, a few paces from the capital, on the tombs of those Romans of the Republic and the Empire who passed from the idolatry of the virtues to that of the vices. What words could use and the dignity of the subject could pierce that mass of years which have stifled so many voices more powerful than my own ? You, illustrious Senate of Christianity, to support the weight of such innume rable violations, have you not occasion to support yourselves on the Altar of the Sanctuary, as I am on the throne of St. Louis ? " God forbid that I should make you hear the language of a narrow policy. Sacred things require to be viewed in a more generous and worthy man ner. At the moment I am no speaking, the hu man race has arrived at one of the epochs charac teristic of its existence. It vain has impiety pre tended that Christianity favoured oppression, and made time retrograde ; at the publication of the new part, sealed with the blood of the just, slavery ceased to be the common right of nations. Wherever Christianity has been extinguished, servitude and ignorance have re-appeared. After passing through the ages of darkness and violence, Christianity be comes, among modern nations, the perfection itself of society. " You will choose to exercise the power of the Keys—a man of God, you will comprehend his high mission. A conclave is not only the Council of a private state, but that of a nation composed of na tions the most different, and spread over the sur face of the globe. You are the august representa tives of the immense Christian family, for the mo ment without a parent. Men who know not your names, who speak not your language, who live far distant from you, beneath another sun, at the extre mities of the earth, will submit to your decisions, which nothing apparently obliges them to follow— will obey your law, which no material force imposes —will accept from you a spiritual father with respect and gratitude. " Such are the prodigies of religious conviction. Princes of the Church, it will suffice to let fall your suffrages on that person among you to give the com munion of the faithful a chief, who, powerful in the doctrine and authority of the past, will no less be aware of the wants of the present and the future : a Pontiff of a holy life, mingling sweetness and charity with sincerity of faith. All crowns form but one wish, have but one want of moderation and peace. What ought we not to expect from the happy harmony ? What ought we not to hope from your enlightenment and virtues ? It only remains for me to renew the expression of the sincere esteem and perfect regard of the So vereign, equally pious and magnanimous, whose emissary I have the honour to be." The Duke of WELLINGTON was cheered on his way to the House of Lords on Monday, by a crowd of persons who were assembled in Parliament-street. The Noble Duke walked down to the House, accompanied by Sir CULLEN SMITH and two other gentlemen. On the Duke being recognized by the snob, there was a general rush towards him, and he was escorted amidst loud cheers to Westminster Hall, by which he entered. A large body of police, under the direction of TowNSHEND, were in attendance, and with some difficulty prevented the noisy admirers of the Duke from following -him into West minster Hall. —Morning Paper. The rumours of intended elevations to the Peerage, although not true to the extent asserted, have, nevertheless, some foundation is fact. Chief Baron O'GRADY has been made Lord ROCK BARTON, and may be hourly expected to take his seat, and give the aid of his acknowledged abilities to the Catholic cause. The pa tent for the Peerage of Mr. JAMES DALY, the Member for the county of Galway, is also prepared ; but for the present remains in abeyance, as it is not thought advisable, in the existing crisis, to disturb the harmony which exists in the extensive and populous county which he represents. We' believe Mr. DALY'S title will be Baron DUNZANDLE.— Morning Chronicle. PRICES OF STOCKS TkifS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. lied. 3 per Cent.

Evening ...57 minutes after 5 cJ ~lt~~ LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1829 The Bishop of BATH and WELLS, in presenting a petition last night to the House of Lords, from 600 under-graduates of the University of Cam bridge, took occasion to observe, that " there never had been a petition presented which was better en titled to their Lordships' notice." We must con less that we are wholly at a loss to understand upon what foundation the Right Rev. Prelate grounds this assertion. Is it upon the long practical experience of the petitioners ? What experience can they possibly have had, the majority of whom are yet in their teens, and have still a lively recollection of the nursery ? Is it upon their sound in tellectual acquirements ? Alas ! seven out of ten of them have yet to read and appre ciate the tritest facts of history, more especially those which bear upon the present Question. Ac cording, however, to my Lord ELDON, young men, provided they live in Scotland, are capable, even at the age of eighteen, of forming an opinion on the propriety or impropriety of conceding Emancipation, and certainly the task is far from difficult, if, instead of viewing it with reference to the character and necessi ties of the age in which they live, they bring to its consideration the mere dull, obstinate, inapplicable prejudice% of the times that preceded them. Dis cussed in this fashion, the Catholic Question may undoubtedly be comprehended not only 'by young men of eighteen—Lord ELDON is here ungenereus in his limitation—but even by urchins of ten, eleven, and twelve years old. Such lisping legislators have nothing more to do than to swallow unanalyzed the long stories of their great grandfathers and grand mothers, backed by the sage and influential autho rity of their respective nurses, on the subject of " The Pope, the Inquisition, and the Devil," and thus qualified, to send up their petitions for the serious consideration of the House of Lords, backed by the grave wisdom of a Right Rev. Prelate, and the senatorial influence of a venerable Ex-Chancellor. German Papers of the 17th and 18th inst. con tain some further particulars of the immense pre- parations making by the Emperor NICHOLAS for carrying on the war. Several fresh battalions are moving towards the Southern provinces, in order to repair the losses occasioned by the last campaign. Every thing betokens, if the war is renewed, that it will be a most sanguinary struggle:— FROM THE VISTULA, MARCH 6. Travellers who come from the into for of Russia agree in their accounts of the great traffic on all the roads leading to the southern provinces of the empire. They met, in particular, a great many battalions of young soldiers, be longing to the last levy of recruits, and which they were informed were on their march to the two Principalities and Bulgaria, to repair the losses suffered in the last campaign. Numerous troops of horses for the cavalry (already broke in) have been sent in the same direction, especially from Wolhymia and Podolia. It is said that two corps of in fantry and two divisions of cavalry of the army of General Sacken, on the Dneiper, are ordered to the theatre of war. We do not yet perceive any movements among the Polish troops which can indicate that they are to take any active part in the military operations. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, MARCH 8. According to commercial letters from St. Petersburgh, it seems to be still uncertain whether the Emperor will re main in the capital or go to the army. At present, Gen. Diebitsch, who is appointed to the chief command, has received the most extensive powers, and has taken on himself the responsibility for the mode in which the war with the Turks shall be carried on. This high honour conferred on him excites great jealousy, but at the same time has silenced those who, in the last campaign, would not do justice to the great talents of the present Com mander-in-Chief of the Russian army. It is affirmed that several Polish Officers have obtained permission to make the campaign. But this circumstance needs confirmation, as well as the report (which I lately sent you) that the Emperor of Russia would come next month to Warsaw, as the above-mentioned letters say that his Majesty will so soon leave the capital. The prices of corn have risen considerably in Poland, and large purchases are made at Dantzic for England and Sweden. iRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, MARCH 5.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCZ. We are without the arrival of a single Foreign Mail this morning, arising from the state of the wind, which has gone back to its former unfavourable quarter, the Eastward. Late yesterday a very absurd rumour got into circulation, that his Majesty's Ministers had the intention of delaying the progress of the Catholic Relief Bill till after Easter; even a mere report of this kind had an injurious effect 011 the Funds, which fell a quarter per cent., and left off at 87,1 for account, shelving how much anxiety exists for the success of this measure; this morning the opening price was 878 for account, and the market continues at the same price without any business of importance; and 871 for money.

The COURT was occupied this day in hearing mo tions, none of which possessed the least public interest. His HoNouß, on an application to advance a pe tition in the paper, observed that he thought he should be obliged to refuse such applications alto gether, for they never were made without a long discussion ensuing, which occupied as much time as the petition itself would ; he was determined not to entertain them unless in cases of great urgency. MEETING AT LLOYD'S-(THIS DAY.) The annual meeting of the subscribers was held this morning for the purpose of receiving the report of the Committee relative to the affairs of Lloyd's for the last year. The LoRD MAYOR was in the Chair. His Lord ship stated the objects of the meeting, and said he would read the report of the Committee appointed to manage the affairs of Lloyd's, and that the cash account would be read by the Secretary. His Lord ship then read the report, which stated that in the last year the payments that had been made for the prosecution of the parties who had defrauded the Un derwriters in the case of the Dawn, had been large, and that the balance of cash in hand at the end of last year, amounting to 1,0001., had been reduced to 376/. Notwithstanding these heavy expences in curred by the house within the last nine years, in the endeavours of Lloyd's to prevent the establish ment of the Marine Assurance Company, &c., and the repairs of the house, &c., the stock had gradu- ally increased from 9,0001. to 15,000/., and was ex pected to go on increasing. The report stated that as a consolidation of the Stamp Acts was to be effected in the present Ses sion of Parliament, the Committee had made a fur ther application to Government for a reduction of the duty on Marine Insurances. Mr. BENNETT, the Secretary, read the Cash Ac count. The total of receipts was 10,6111. 3s. 10d. On the Debit side there were charged 740/., part of the expences in a criminal prosecution for the at tempt to defraud the Underwriters; also 161. lls. 4d. part of expences incurred in prosecuting, at Lan caster, the plunderers of a wreck ; by purchase of 1,5001. Consols, 1,263/.; the other items were for salaries, management, &c., making the total pay ments 10,611/. 3s. 10d., leaving a balance of cash in hand of 376/. 18s. After some few remarks from Mr. FORTUNE re lative to postages, and a word or two from Mr. CARRUTHERS relative to the auditing of the ac counts, the Report and Cash accounts were ap proved, and the meeting adjourned. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCPIANGE. This market h as rece i ve d a goo d su pply only of Foreign Wheat, chiefly from Spain and Italy ; all other kinds of Grain have come in scantily. The prices of Monday last are maintained for the few sales of Wheat that have been efft.cted ; but the trade may he reported dull to-day. Barley, Beans, and Pease, each fully support last quotations.

This fight was to have taken place at Bridgnorth, but it came off at Dukedale, some mi;es farther off, when after fighting seventeen rounds, in twenty-two minutes, Brawn was declared the victor. Spring and O'Neill seconded Brown, and Peter Crawley and Byrne, Dobell. We shall give full particulars to-morrow. FIGHT BETWEEN GARRATT AND MENDHA3I A NORFOLK YOUTH This fight had been long the subject of speculation among the Norwich and Beccles ,fancy, and the betting, which was to a considerable extent, was generally even. The Suffolk Champion (Garratt) had before graced the ring, but was the smallest man. Their own money de pending on the event was but 10/., but they were backed for 25/. a-side. The fight took place in a regular 24-feet roped ring, at Thurton, about seven miles from Norwich, At two o'clock Alendham came into the ring, and threw his castor up with much confidence; he was immediately followed by Garratt, who showed no want of spirit. The ::roved to view the fight was very large, and consisted of a due admixture of the sexes : some well-dressed women graced the ring, and proved, by their gestures and the cheers they gave their favourites, that they shared in all the pleasures of a mill. The celebrated Ned Painter picked up Mendham, and Wigg did the office for Garratt. On peeling, Garratt showed the best condition, and was the favourite in betting, but the odds were trifling. Round I.—Sparring, with much caution on both sides, though Mendham showed a deficiency of tact in stopping. After an exchange of a few blows, Mendham felled his taian as he would an ox,—clean.—(Cheers for Mendham.) 2. Both at the scratch in time, but Garratt showed first blood : Mendham down. The other rounds were fought with varying success, but generally in favour of Gamat, who, during the last six rounds, had it all his own way. In the 35th round Gar ratt gave Mendham so severe a blow over the smeller, that he was deaf to time, after a fair stand-up fight of one hour and twenty-five minutes. This is the second battle they have fought, the first being a drawn battle. EXECUTION OF CLIFFE FOR MURDER. On Monday James Cliffe underwent the awful sentence of the law at Lancaster, for the murder of his wife at -Manchester, on the 2d January last.— We understand that after the unfortunate man re ceived his sentence, he applied himself with as much assiduity as his feelings would allow him, to the re ligious instruction and consolation administered to him by the chaplain of the gaol. He fully acknow ledged his guilt; that he was umlonbtedly the cause of the death of his wife by his brutal usage towards her, but still he denied, as he did on his tri.a, that any previous malice existed in his mind, or that he bad any intention of committing the crime of murder when he s•ruck her. He added, that he expected to be convicted of the offence of manslaughter merely, and be transported. He also wished to pal liate his offence by stating, that he was really un conscious of his ferocious conduct towards her, in consequence of being so eery much intoxicated at the time. He wept and sobbed most bitterly from the time of his sentence to the awful moment of his death. At twelve o'clock he was brought on the fatal scaffold, and after a portion of the burial service had been read by the clergyman, he was launched into eternity. His sufferings appeared to be of short duration. After hanging the usual time, his body was placed in tI shell, and given to the surgeons for dissection. We understand this wretched man was a native of Blackburn, and was by trade a paper-maker; but that latterly he had earned his livelihood by carting in the neighbourhood of Manchester. He has left several children to deplore his loss, who, by his un feeling behaviour, are thrown orphans upon the wide world. We are informed that he was a methodist by persuasion, and that a minister of that religion attended upon him in prism—Manchester Mer cury.

An Artesian well has been bored in the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND'S grounds, at Sion, to the depth of 535 feet. The first 20 feet bored tkrough con sisted of loose gravel and sand; to this succeeded strong blue clay, to the depth of 410 feet ; next, 10 feet of green sand ; then between 30 and 40 feet of loose chalk ; and, finally, very firm and hard chalk, to the depth of 535 feet, which is said to extend to an unknown depth. A strong spring was found in the green sand, but it was not power ful enough to rise higher than 30 feet from the surface.— The next spring was found in the solid chalk, and the two springs united now rise to the height of five feet above the surface, and the water flows over at the rate of five gallons per minute, of a temperature of 55 Fahrenheit.— Magazine of Natural History.

LIMERICK ASSIZES. ATROCIOUS MURDER. On Wednesday morning, March 18, Mr. Serjeant Lefroy proceeded to the County Court to try a heavy case of murder, which, from its peculiar nature, attracted a large share of public interest. After the disposal of a few unimportant trials, the Clerk of the Crown called to the gaoler to bring up JerennA Hayes to the bar. An audible murmur pervaded the court, and the most intense curiosity was visible in all faces at this moment; every eye was directed to the dock, in search of the man who could be such a monster ac to murder his newly-affianced wife, a female, from all accounts, the most attractive and in !cresting. The prisoner approached the bar quite firm, and apparently unconcerned. He is a stout strong-built man of low stature, about five feet three inches, large full countenance, but of a sullen cast, black eyes, and exceedingly thick and bromic vent eye-brows deeply shaded with black hair, a heavy mouth and chin, with rather short neck. He was dressed in a dark frieze body coat, coloured waist coat, and blue trousers. The accused, a baker by trade, did not appear to exceed 30 years of age. He pleaded " not guilty. Mr. Serjeant GOOLD stated the case. He said, it will be proved to you that the prisoner at the bar married this lovely young wormy] against the consent of his relatives and friends, just five weeks before the 10th of September last ; he got nd por tion with her on this occasion. He was a bilker, living in the village of Hospittle. His mother fee sided with him before this, but left the house on the marriage. The prisoner at this time stated that he wanted to go to Limerick on a particular night, having bought three bags of flour, and he applied to a carman named Dooly to ascertain when he would be going there. He asked, would Dooly be going the 9th of Sept.; but Dooly told him he would not until the 10th. Prisoner called on Dooly the 10th, and Dooly said he would proceed that evening m lien he had fed his horse. The night was dark; it was about nine or ten o'clock, and the prisoner set out from Hospittle for Limerick with his wife, dc siring Dooly to go on before them, and that he would follow. The prisoner and his wife were left alone at a particular spot on the road called the Hill, act far from Herbertstown, at the dead hour of the night. The Nealons, a family that lived near the spot, were reused from their beds by a person crying out that he was robbed and murdered, and that his wife was mur dered. The Nealons opened the door of their house, and saw the prisoner, who entered, lie complained that he was attacked by two men on the roe!, added that his wife was dragged over a ditch into a field, where he was afraid she was murdered, The Nealons, hearing this dreadful story, went onf, and, after some search, found the body of the wo man she was still alive, and breathing. All this time the prisoner was clasping his hands and la menting ; but the instant his unfortunate wife ceased for to exist, he became quite composed. On the homicide being reported, Surgeon Franklin, jun., was sent from Limerick to examine the body, and to ascertain, if possible, by what means she had come to this violent death. There were cuts on the head, a stab on her neck, and some of her teeth knocked out. After the investigation he inquired for the husband, looked at his clothes, and both in side and outside they were covered with blood. Surgeon Franklin had a suspicion that all was not right, and he would depose that so great an effus. sion of blood on his dress could not have proceeded from the wounds in his head, unless an artery were ruptured. The prisoner stated distinctly three dif ferent accounts of this transaction. A man named Patrick levers on the night of the murder was accosted by the prisoner on the outside of his house, and solicited to aid him in the dreadful crime which he contemplated; prisoner said his mother and brother would not be reconciled to hint unless his wife was put out of the way. The prisoner has made since a voluntary confession to two person of this horrible murder. Mr. Sergeant Goow, having concluded his ad dress, called evidence which proved all the facts he had stated. The Jury, without leaving the box, returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner heard the verdict with the same composure which marked his demeanour the entire of the investigation. On the sentence being pro nounced he withdrew from the bar, brushing his hat, apparently quite indifferent to what was going on around him. THE EXECUTION. LIMERICK, MARCU 21.—At three o'clock yes terday the sentence of the law was executed upon this unhappy man, who was convicted of one of the most foul and atrocious murders which the annals of crime record. Having married against the con sent of his friends, and particularly his mother, from whom he occasionally received pecuniary ass sistance, to please them, and influenced by the mere hopes of some paltry gain, he wrought. up his mind to that state of heartless atrocity, in which he re solved upon and perpetrated the death of his wife, a young and beautiful creature, as represented by all the witnesses, to whom he had been united but five weeks, and whom he bad wooed for five years. — The deed, horrible as it is in itself, was accompa nied by every circumstance of aggravation which could heighten it into demoniac wickedness. It is now ascertained that before they set out on their jour ney he made her furnish herself with a pair of scissors, which was to be the instrument of her own destruc tion. After he had knocked her down on the road with a blow of a stone, he - seized the scissors, and with it tore open the throat, almost from ear to ear. While in this state, the blood gushing out, it is sup posed,ln order to account for the quantity of blood with which his clothes were steeped, that he took her up in his arms and carried her from the road into the fields, and laid her down between the two rocks where she was found. Not believing the work of destruction fully done, here again he inflicted innumerable wounds on her head with stones, and knocked out her teeth with the heel of his shoe. The guilt of even one human being in such a crime is almost too much for humanity to credit; but it is not the less true that the monster who first insi nuated the commission of this revolting deed was the mother of this man. This has been admitted by her friends, and hinted at by the unfortunate man him self ; and the only cause was a deadly hatred, pro duced by his not having received a fortune with her. Up to the moment he ceased to exist, he re mained the same hardened criminal which he ap peared during the progress of the trial. A Catholic Clergyman has been incessantly with him, without being able to impress upon him the necessity of turn ing his attention to another world, and endeavouring to obtain forgiveness by sincere contrition. He re mained impenetrable to th e conso l at i on o f re li g i on , an d refused to make any di sc l osure , l est i t s h ou ld impli i• ate home,would suffer he to said,a scend o enabled n him I he Scaffold with firmness, in front of which several thousand persons were assembled, the majority of whom were women. Not the least sympathy was manifested by the crowd, all being sensible of the jus;ic.- with which he suffered. The Priest haying asc,nded the scaffold with him, after some resist ow, got him upon his knees by force; but he leaped tip, and refused spiritual comfort, even at that awf .1 moment. In an instant after he was no more. Life left him without a struggle. His body was im mediately delivered over to the surgeons. This scene was followed by one not creditable to the country, and disgraceful to the police officers of the district. After the execution, the hangman, a miserable and ghastly wretch, was placed on a car, and, guarded by a body of police, was carried from the county to the city gaol, being from one extremity of the town to the other. Such an exhibition was indecent and disrespectful to the inhabitants, as well as imprudent, as it might possibly lead to outrage, such a person being an object of great hatred amongst the lower classes. Night would have an swered the purpose much better. !
