SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. We learn with great satisfaction, that the heads of our .new Police are to be military men. The energy and rapidity of operation to which military men are accustomed, point them out as peculiarly fitted for so laborious an office as that of waging war against the most depraved, but also often the most dex terous, part of the community. In the great towns of this country, which have the best Police, the direction has usually been given to an active half-pay officer, with the title of Superintendent. Among our half-pay officers there must be many individuals possessed of the requisite activity and talents. The experiment of obtaining Police Magistrates from the Bar has been a failure (with a few exceptions), and the reason is obvious. An able Barrister will not easily be induced to shelf himself, thereby renounc ing all hope of professional advancement, for 8001. a year; and the candidates will generally be men, either below par in point of talents or in point of activity, to whom the salary will be convenient. Besides, the sort of knowledge possessed by a law yer—namely, that of precedents, is not likely to be of much service in dealing with men whose suc cess generally depends on departing from prece dents, and striking out new paths. We say of a thief and a swindler that they live by their wits. The two businesses of Police and Magistracy ought never, in fact, to have been united. The Morning Papers - of yesterday afford a strong proof of the necessity there is for taking the appointment and controul of watchmen from the Parish Authorities. We allude to the case of Beazley, at Bow-street. 'This man had been already suspended for miscon duct ; but had good interest in, the parish. He united the two trades of keeper of a house of ac commodation and watchman, and in the former capacity might be in the possession of the secrets of some of his parish patrons, who, for the sake of family peace, might not choose to be on bad terms with him.* The sooner the appointment and con troul of watchmen are in more respectable hands the better.—Morning Chronicle. If the inhabitants of this metropolis could have continued to submit tamely to the Select Vestry system, they would deserve all that such a system has long inflicted. They cannot now be accused of an apathy so weak. The elections of Church wardens for the ensuing year have served to call forth in various parishes convincitil and practical proof of the indignation which the inhabitants at large entertain towards those despotic little Juntas that levy taxes without responsibility, and practice jobbing 'without shame. How such a system could have established itself as a principle of parochial government in a country where the Sovereign dare not levy taxes without consent of Parliament, it is not easily accounted for. Certain it is, that if the money is to be taken out of the people's pockets by an irresponsible authority, it matters little by whom so dangerous a prerogative is ex ercised, for it is sure to be abused. The colonists of North America would not acknowledge such a power to be resident in the supreme Legislature of the empire, as at present every Select Vestry in London claims, which is simply, " taxation without Representation"—the original cause of the Ameri can war. The people of this country have, how ever, redress in their own hands. It cannot be the interest of Government that the public should be over-rated to supply the profuse expenditure of the parish exchequers; for it is clear that the more taxa tion the country pays to their parochial Cabinets, the less will they be able to contribute to the neces sities of the State. The people have but to come forward in their several parishes, and express, with firmness and temperance, their determination to in sist upon their right of having a public controul over the money which they contribute for pub lic purposes, and they must succeed. A principle so unjust as that which the Select Vestries have to defend cannot long resist the force of public opinion. The system is already shaken;—in some parishes it has been destroyed. It is impossible that parochial affairs can be honestly managed until it shall have been subverted. Even in parishes where there are no Select Vestries, there are always to be found some bustling officious knot of persons who stick together, and try and get the of the money matters, for their own purposes, and who are sure to carry their point. if the parishioners at large should be supine or complaisant enough not to keep a strict watch over the accounts. If such things can be done or attempted where Vestries are open, what practices can create surprise, where the very constitution of the Vestry excludes control and prohibits all inquiry. Honest stewards of the public money would never court that secrecy which the Select Vestries are so tenacious of. So much con cealment argues a consious abuse of trust ; and we believe it is not without reason the Select Vestries require for their " doings" the convenient covering of darkness.—Morning Herald. SOUTHWARK SESSIONS, APRIL 23. A JURY LOCKED C P ALL NIGHT. Nary Sullivan was indicted for stealing from the person of James Munrc, a watch, three gold seals, ring, and key. The prosecutor stated that he was an optician, and resided in Lambeth. Oa the night of the 10th of April he was out with some friends, and got so much intoxicated, that he scarcely recollected any thing that happened to him. He only remembered going into a public-house in the morning (he did not know where), and afterwards missing his watch and appendages. The Jury began to consider of their verdict about twelve o'clock at noon : shortly after which they begged leave to retire to a private room. In the course of the afternoon they came into Court, and desired to know if the prosecutor could swear that he had the watch in his pocket when he went into the public-house : the prosecutor answered in the affirmative, and the Jury again retired. At half-past six o'clock they came in again, and one of them stated that it was not likely they would be able to agree, and hoped that he at least might be allowed to go home, as his child was dying. The Recorder said he was sorry for it, but his duty would not a?iow him to accede to that request. The Jury were accordingly again sent back, and the Recorder waited unti , nearly eleven o'clock at night, when, under standing that they were not likely to agree, he ad journed the Court until nine o'clock this morning. At that Tim?! the Recorder came into Court, during all which tune the Jury had been kept wit oat food or firing. The Recorder then seeing no probability of their coming to any decision, discharged diem without giving a verdict, and the prisoner was or dered to remain in custody until the next sessions, unless she could procure bail. The question which arises is, whether the prisoner can be tried by-another jury, about which there is a great difference of opinion amougst lawyers, some of whom contend, that the Jury being discharged amounts to a virtual acquittal. This question has never yet been decided, although some short time ago a similar case (inured at the Old Bailey, where the jury were discharged by the Common Sergeant from giving a verdict, and the prisoner was not tried by another jury. The question, however, was not then mooted. ST. ()LAVE'S PARISII V. WILLIAM BEVAN.. Mr. BARRY appeared on behalf of the parish. It was an appeal against an order of affiliation, made upon the defendant, which the Court affirmed. In the course of the proceedings Mr. Payne, who was counsel for the defendant, continued to prove some facts which he had detailed in his opening speech, and begged permission to call a witness back for that purpose. The RECORDER said that he would not permit the witness to be recalled. _ Mr. PAYNE—It is a practice used every day by the Judges of the land; and I hope your Lordship, as a personal favour, will allow me to put -the question. RECORDER—You shall not, Sir; learn a little decency. Mr. PAYNE—If your Lordship refuses me that X4l/8 ~~~ favour, it is visiting the sins or inadvertencies of the counsel on the unfortunate client. _ RECORDER—I must say, Mr. Payne, that your conduct is extremely irregular, and I desire that you will henceforth keep yourself within bounds. Mr. PAYNE—There is a public opinion respect ing my conduct, which is quite at variance with the private opinion of your Lordship. RECORDER—I don't know what you mean, Sir : at all events, I will not have the witness called back. Mr. PAYNE—Then, my Lord, at the risk of my professional reputation, I can only say that I forgot to put the questions before.—Here the subject dropped. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, APRIL 23. John Bcresford Sayers was indicted for obtaining goods from James Eadle under false pretences. The circumstances of this case hare already been before the public. He entered the shop of the prosecutor, who is a hosier, and stated that he wanted some shirts for Captain White (who was known to the prosecutor), and also some shirts and other articles for himself, whom he represented to be Captain Smith, of the 32d regiment. Having made a selec tion of what he required, he directed them to be sent, together with a bill of their amount (251.), to Gould's Hotel, saying he would pay for them on delivery. His represewations were discovered- to be untrue; but no evidence of their falsehood hav ing been adduced on the trial, the defendant was acquitted. The same defendant was then indicted for a simi lar fraud practised on Mr. Boggy, a tailor, living near Leicester-square, to whom he represented himself to be the Honourable Henry Fitzroy, of the 4th Dragoon Guards. Proof of the falsehood of the representation was wanting in this case as well as in the preceding, and the defendant was therefore again acquitted. Indeed there seemed an anxiety on the part of the prosecutors, particularly in the latter case, to avoid pressing the charges strongly against the de fendant, who was said to have had recourse to false names, in consequence of having had the misfortune to shoot a gentleman in a duel. A gentleman in Court stated, after the trials, that he would take care and see every tradesman paid to whom the defendant Was indebted. He also said that the defendant should be taken away from Lon don immediately. ....... _ Richard Pindar and five other defendants, named Davis,llficherson,Sizepherd, Humphries, and Bennet, were indicted for a riot and assault Ul4Oll J. F. Cooke, high constable of the hundred of Isleworth, and two of his assistants, at Hounslow, on the 23d of March last, whilst in the execution of their duty. Bennet was acquitted, and all the others were found guilty. Pindar was also convicted of another assault. _ _ The CSIAIRSTAN sentenced Pindar to three months' imprisonment for the single assault; and then for the joint assault, sentenced him and Davis to twelve months' imprisonment (the three last of which to be solitary); and the other three, whose conduct was not so ferocious, to nine months' imprisonment. The defendants were stated to belong to an exten sive gang of desperate characters. TRIAL OF LIEUTENANT WARREN. As we formerly stated, Thomas Warren is a tail man, remarkably corpulent, and of extraordinary strength, wearing thick mustachios. The act of accusation, having been read by M. Cathrinet, is in effect as follows : On the Ist of January last, at half-past ten o'clock in the evening, three Englishmen, named Frazer, Gillivray, and Kingston, were in Pool's esta minct, the sign of the White Horse, No. 6, Rue Favart. This house is almost exclusively frequented by Englishmen. Warren, who is an Irishman, and a Frenchman named Chamonard, his friend, entered shortly after wards, and sat down at another table. A minute had only elapsed when a quarrel ensued betwixt Kingston awl Chamonard, in which Frazer having taken a part, a violent uproar ensued. Warren, in a transport of fury, gave Frazer a violent blow, which overturned him. From the testimony of two witnesses it appeared he had given him a blow with the knee ou the lower part of the belly, and when down had given him a kick on the same part, and then snap ping his fingers, exclaimed, It's over." The witch having been sent fur, and having made their appear ance, Warren entrenched himself behind the tables, and, making a demonstration of the most desperate resistance, he escaped by a back door. Next day he returned to the estaminet for his hat, which he had left behind him, where he stated that he regretted exceedingly that he had not killed Frazer; and that if he should meet him again he should put powder and ball into his belly. In effect, the unfortunate Frazer was still in life, but having beers carried to the Hotel Meurice, he died seven days afterwards. Upon opening the body, it ap peared that the intestines had been injured, although there was no trace of an external contusion. Warren, having been interrogated by M. le Pre sident, expressed himself to the following effect:— " I was in the estaminet of the White Horse with M. Paul Chamonard, my friend, where some Eng lishmen had arrived before us. AL Paul having re ceived some rude expressions from Mr. Kingston, who is a reputed boxer, went forward to knock his hat off his head. I stepped in between them. When doing so, Frazer called me a moustache, and other injurious expressions. In reply to which, I applied to him the terms cochon and manant, but did not strike him. He fell ; and I presume that the people who were beside him may have trampled upon him during the result. The crowd then turn ed towards me, in order to murder me; upon which I took a pair of snuffers from the table, and said, I shall open the belly of the first assassin who ap proaches me.' The watch was then sent for. In the meantime, however, the waiters of the estami net caused me to depart." • Mr. Kingston, a young man, nineteen years of age, was the first witness examined. He declared that he and his friends, after having drank punch and Madeira at a coffee-house, went to the estami net called the White Horse, where they had more liquor. I heard, the witness added, some gentle men, who were behind us, speak of a famous Eng lish boxer named Bell. I understood that these ob servations were in allusion to me, and asked an explanation. One of them, M. Chamonard, gave me an impertinent reply, upon which Mr. Frazer, taking a glass in his hand, broke it, and said, " this is too much ;" whereupo❑ the prisoner attacked Mr. Frazer like a madman. Warren.—Did you net take up a bottle in order to throw at my head ? Kingston.—This was after Frazer's accident, and I certainly would have thrown the bottle if I had not been restrained. Mr. Jones, an English physician and a relation of Frazer's, stated, that he had been called to the Hotel Meurice to attend the deceased, on the 2d of Jan. who was ill, and whose recollection did not return until the next day. He did not even know how the accident had occurred. Paul ChamoNard, in the employment of the Minister of Commerce, deposed that when he came to the estaminet, Warren was quietly conversing with three Englishmen ; he having put a hat out of its place, in a moment the three Englishmen fell upon Warren in the most outrageous manner. Whilst Warren was repelling them, witness went to M. Naas, an officer of the King's household, and said to him, " M. Warren is at blows with some Englishmen who mean to murder him. You must come to his assistance." _ _ M. le President—You go farther than Warren himself in his defence. He has not hitherto said that the three Englishmen attacked him. Warren—l beg pardon ; they did attack me. There were more than three of them. There were thirty or forty, I believe. It was not until after M. Chamonard had left us that Frazer fell. M. Hardom, president of the court, summed up the evidence in the most concise anti luminous man ner. The charge of wilful homicide was thrown aside ; but that of blows and wounds having been inflicted being fully sustained, Thomas Warren was condemned to fifteen months' imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 100 francs.—Journal des Debals.

Ere this can reach you, you will have received intelligence of the election of a Pope ; an event which took place in the forenoon of Tuesday,' March 31, and in a very satisfactory manner to the elected ; as out of 60 Cardinals who were in the Conclave, no less than 47 gave their Votes in favour of Cardinal Francisco Xaverius Casti glioni, Bishop of the Tusculan Diocese, and Grand Penitentiary. He was born at Carigoli, a small town in the March of Ancona, on the 20th of November, 1761, and promoted to the Cardinalate by Pius VII., March 8, 1816. Previously he had been Bishop of Montalto, and, during the period of occupation of the Papal territory by the French, was detained (as they expressed it) several years in France. The Cardinal Albani, mentioned in one of my late letters, is said to have been remarkably active in the Conclave. At the beginning, the votes in favour of Cardinal Pacca were pretty numerous. Afterwards M. De Gregorio seemed to take the lead ; but, latterly, Cappellari and Castiglioni seemed to obtain conclusive pre ference. It is currently reported that only one vote was required to effect the election of the former, and that Cardinal Albani offered to secure it to him by giving his ' own in his favour, upon a conditional pro mise of the Secretaryship of State being conferred upon himself. This, it is added, would not be acceded to, and the refusal is highly honourable to the principles of Cappellari, who is a mere Carthusian Monk, but possessed of eminent at tainments. At all events, the new Pope, imme diately upon being assured of his election, nomi nated All3ani to the ambitioned office, for which the Romans generally opine that be is extremely unfit. After the morning ballot on the 31st, it was ascertained that 34 votes (the required propor tion) were for Cardinal Castiglioni ; but it was perceived that some formalities had been omitted from a few of the billets placed by some of the Cardinals in the usual chalice. It was, how ever, proposed, in order to save time, to insti tute a fresh ballot. This was accordingly done, and the other 13 (making 47 in all) Cardinals, who had kept aloof very prudently, went over to the secured majority. The election being effected, the new Pope was asked by the Cardinal Dean of the Sacred Col lege whether he would accept the high office. His answer was " God's will be done." He was next interrogated respecting the name he wished to assume. He has taken that of Pius VIII. in memory, no doubt, of him by whom he had been created Cardinal. After a regular proces verbal of all the pro ceedings had been drawn up by the First Master of the Ceremonies, the newly-elected Pope was eonducted, by the two senior Cardinals of the Order of Deacons, to a little space behind the altar, and there attired in the Pontifical robes which had been placed there for the occasion.— After this he returned to the front of the altar, and thence bestowed his first Papal benediction upon the Sacred College. He next ascended to the Papal throne, and, seated thereon, received the first Adoration (as it is called) of the Car- dinals. Each knelt before him, kissed his foot, ' his hand, and his cheeks. The (new) Fisher man's ring was then delivered to him by the Carnerlingo, Cardinal Galeffi. - The next formality was the annunciation of his election to the public. The senior Cardinal Deacon, having previously obtained his Holi ness's permission, repaired, preceded by a Master of Ceremonies, and another ecclesiastic bearing a cross, to the great balcony in front of the Pa lace, and (in Latin !) intimated to the populace the auspicious event, and the name assumed by the new Pontiff. This was done by the Cardi nal Albani, to whom this day has been a re markably lucky one, as, over and above the new appointment, he is entitled, by this mere act, to an official fee, amounting to 6,000 dollars ! The tidings were greeted by ringing of bells and firing of cannon. Immediately afterwards all impediments to access were actively removed, and those who wished to enter the Conclave were admitted. The new Pope received with remarkable urbanity all who approached him, and addressed most cour teous expressions to many. In the evening the city was generally illuminated. In the ensuing forenoon Pius VIII. made his first appearance in public, as the second Adoration always takes place in the Sixtine 'Chapel (in the Vatican Palace), and the third in St. Peter's Church. For this purpose be, the Cardinals, and the usual cortege, left the Quirinal Palace at about eleven o'clock. Upon arriving at the Vatican he robed, and, being seated upon the very altar, received a repetition of the genuflections and osculations of the preceding day. From hence the procession descended to the Church of St. Peter. The Pope was borne in the usual Chair of State upon men's shoulders, and followed by the Cardinals. Upon his en tering the church, his choristers sung the Anthem beginning with " Ecce Sacerdos Magnus."— He descended from his chair to pray a few minutes before the Sacrament, kept in one of the lateral chapels ; and was thence conducted to the grand central altar, seated upon which, during the performance of Te Deum, he received the third and last Adoraticin. The ceremony con ' eluded with his giving his first benediction to the public in the Cathedral, and after this he re turned to the Quirinal. During those two progresses, he was very par tially and feebly greeted by the populace, Few knees were bent ; and, in many parts, military constraint was employed to induce persons even to take off their hats. This iudifference I can not ascribe to any dislike or objection towards the mere man. But the Romans cannot but remember what they have suffered during the last three reigns, and in the revolutions and exac tions of that period. In fact, a settled gloom— a kind of apathy, produced by despair—has evi dently settled upon the aspects and minds of a people who have so long been treated with ne glect, contempt, or indignity, by their elected or intrusive rulers. A transient gleam of joy was discernible at the death of.the late Pontiff; but us it could not. open any prospect to reasonable hope, the heavy mist quickly prevailed again. Yet, had the late Leo remained in St. Peter's Chair, they and society, I am assured, would be subjected to additional hardships. The Treasury (owing, no doubt, to mismanagement) was so empty that he had it in contemplation to force upon them a paper currency—a medium which th e former and fatal experience of their fathers had rendered peculiarly odious to remembrance and foresight. It was also his intention to dissolve a ll the separate colleges and institutions for education (many of them endowed by the origi nal benefactors for specific plans, and with pre scribed regulations), and assemble all students in ' one or two vast ,establishments, to be utterly and peremptorily under the direction of the Je suits. His Constant epistolary correspondence with Ferdinand of Spain is now openly avowed. As to his successor in the Pontificate, he is said to be a man of slender abilities, of !zealous piety, of a good heart, and of an amiable dispo sition. He has generally been in tears since his election. The causes I cannot immediately as certain ; but, in °tie Instance, they certainly flowed from a respectable motive: On his way from the Vatican, some in the mob invoked him fbr " bread, as they were dying for hunger." In fact, the lower orders, here are in a deplorable state. He was considerably affected, and an nounced a desire to have a largess immediately distributed among the poor. This could not be effected, for he was assured that there was no money in the Treasury. Several other amiable anecdotes of him have already transpired, and some shall be communicated in my next, toge ther with an account of the Coronation, which is expected to take place very shortly. On the other hand, the poor old man's frame is in a state to forbid any hope of his being able to per form his high and various duties with energy or activity. He labours under various chronical disorders ; and is in a state nearly approaching to decrepitude. This, among the ambitious, may have facilitated his election, excluding due consideration of the needs of the people and times; and the eventual requisitions upon the former for the enormous expences incidental to frequent conclaves, &c. He has already or dered to be recalled from the principal churches the Swiss boorish soldier his predecessor had stationed in each, as monitors of devotion, and inspectors of ladies' bonnets. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF. KING'S BENCH, Amu. 23. BRAGG V. LEVI AND ANOTHER. This was an action against a sheriff's officer and his assistant, for an assault. The plaintfff was a young man living with his father, who was the pro prietor of certain baths, and a billiard-room in the New-road. In June, 1827, the defendants having a warrant to arrest the plaintiff's father for a debt of 101., proceeded to his house between six and seven o'clock in the morning. They were met at the outer door by the plaintiff, whd told them that his father was from home, and they then asked whether he had left any message for " Mr. Jones." The plaintiff said he did not know, but would inquire: of his sisters, who were up stairs in their bed-room. He then proceeded up stairs, and was followed by the defendants, who endeavoured to make their way into the room. The plaintiff resisted their attempt telling them that his three sisters were in bed, but, it they would wait about five minutes until they had dressed, they should be admitted. They refused to wait, and Nathan immediately seized the plaintiff by the collar and knocked him down. Levi then took hold of him and dragged him to an adjoining room. While lying there, both the defendants jumped upon him and kicked him; and Levi, with a stick which he took out of his pocket, struck him several times about the head. The nest morning the plaintiff, accompanied by his sisters, attended at the police office, where the defendants charged him with hav ing assaulted them, and obstructed them in the execution of their duty. They also made a com plaint against the two sisters, who they said " ill used" them. The plaintiff was admitted to bail, and the two sisters were discharged on their own recognizances. The plaintiff, who was about 25 years of age, had,' it appeared, not yet recovered from the effects of the defendants' ill usage. The above were the facts of the case, as deposed to by the plaintiff's sisters, the constable, and a young man in the service of the plaintiff's father. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 401. CURING A COLD. " Stuff a cold and starve a fever."—Old Saying. Much as we venerate the time-honoured sayings, and the wise saws of olden time, we must beg leave to call in question the first clause of the above. It has no more foundation in truth than the divine right of Kings. Stuff a cold ! and starve a fever—as if a cold was not likewise a fever. But, absurd as the first part of this saying is, it has governed the multi tude for ages. When they feel the slightest advances of a cold, they incontinently begin to stuff. The cold, thus fed and encouraged, acquires a strength and decision not its own, pushes on with vigour, blockades the nose, the throat, the lungs, and nearly cuts off all communication with the vital air.— But the more the patient is stuffed with the cold, the more he stuffs himself with food. One would suppose they were stuffing on a wager — the cold stuffs up the breathing aperture, the patient stuffs the alimentary canal. Only imagine for a moment what war of stuffing I but it so hap pens that the stuffing of the stomach only increases the stuffing of the lungs, until the stuffed patient, wheezing and barking, can just speak in a hoarse whisper, and deems it a matter of prudence to call in a physician. The doctor comes—" How do you do, Mr. Pheezer ?" Patient—(Coughing) ugh ! ugh ! ugh ! I don't know doc—ugh ! ugh! ugh! doctor I've got a ter rible—ugh ! ugh ! ugh !—a terrible cold. (Enter Wife.) —Don't try to talk Mr. Pheezer, you're se stopped up. I'll tell you how 'tis doctor. Mr. Pheezer put on a damp shirt, t'other day, and took cold, and though I've done my best to cure him, he's grown worse and worse, till now, poor man, he can hardly speak above his breath. Doctor--What have you done for him ? Mrs. Pheezer—Why, besides giving him a sight of yarb drink, and bathing his feet in warm water, I made him eat as much good victuals as he could any way stuff down. I han't starved him, depend upon it. Doctor, I've had a good dozen of turkeys cooked since he was unwell, poor man—which is only a week come to-morrow—besides three spare-ribs and a goose : and as sure as I'm a living sinner, doctor, he's eat the bigger part on'em. Doctor—And he's yet alive ? Mrs. Pheezer— Yes, I desire to he thankful that he is ; though I think he would'nt have ha' lived a very leetle while, if I had'nt ha' done what I have; don't you, doctor ? Doctor—No, good woman, I think if you bad starved, instead of stuffed his cold, he would have been well before now. Mrs. Pheezer—Goodness ha' mercy on ye doctor ! Starve a cold ! why I never heard of such a thing in all my born days. Doctor—May be not, Mrs. Pheezer, but I assure you it is the right way to manage a cold, if you mean to get rid of it. For instance, let the patient take a little, tea, coffee, or a glass of water, with a cracker three times a day—or a little water gruel, if more convenient or agreeable to the taste. By this management a cold may ordinarily be cured in two or three days, while by the stuffing process it would probably be prolonged as many months, unless death should intervene and put an end to the cold and the patient together. Mrs. Pheezer—Why, Doctor, I'm astonished at ye. I used to think you kaow'd something, but now I'm convinced all your skill an't worth a snap o' my thumb. You needn't come any more, Doctor.— (Exit physician.) Starve a cold ! Well, of all the strange doctrine I ever heard of, this is th e ca p sheaf. Among all my sins, I hav'nt got this to answer for. Mrs. Pheezer pursued i her stuffi ng reg i men , h er husband's cold became all nflamm a ti on of the lungs, and in a week after, Mrs. Pheezer saw him laid in his grave, consoling herself in the midst of her afflictions, that she had not been guilty of the sin of starving his cold.—Medical Publication. EXECUTION. acted Of Varnam, Hinton, and Forrester, earn. , o f horse-stealing, underwent the extreme i l ly of the law on Monday last, at the new drop sir ift% / that our county gaol. It being the first execution ,e 0 has taken place since the new county gaol has erected, together with its being Easter Nerrds). the concourse of spectators was immense—not Int short of 20,000 persons were present. The demo nour of the unhappy men, from the time of their being found guilty up to the last moment they cease to exist, was highly praiseworthy; they expressedl the justness of their sentence, and wished to die in' peace with mankind.
