The unfortunate Man a,P,Pdaied deeply effected, and begged in tears to speak' a few words. He Said his brother-who was accused with hint had ziothing to do in murder, nor had Anne Wilson or her daughter ever given him the slightest advice to commit the horrid deed ; he atone can-' mind and perpetrated it. ExEctrT me: or' Kevs.—On Monday, about one o'clock, John Keys, convicted on Saturday of the murder of his own la they, underwent the sentence of the law in front ofthe gaol of this town. From theenement he was tvintived to liia•cell after condeirmation, till the morning of his execution,- the unhappy man evinced the most penitent dioositione, and was incessant in his supplications for mercy, fully confessing the enermity of his crime. lie acknoWledged that he had been reared and liVe& in total Ignorance of all religious knowledge r but diet, since his confinement in jail, he derived such instruction from the school taught there, and reading the word of God; as led - hi - Ili to seelt for pardon-and salvation 'through the Redeemer. Ile was assist ed in his devotions by the• Rev. Mr.-Johnstoo, chaplain of the jail, and the ltev. Mr. 'Whittaker, assistant, and from time to time by several of thePions inhabitants, *lnovisited hiM for that charitable purpose. The' interval of Sunday, and the chief part of the night previous ;to . his e execution, were spent in: this_ holy and edifying manner. But the fatal hour at length arrived, About half-past twelve on Monday, the prisoner appeared on the platform in front of the gaol, attended by the Rev...lllr. Johnston, - the Rev. Mr. Ovens, and the , proper 01ficets. lie seemed perfectly resigned to has fate. There was an immense concourse of spectators assembled on the occaSion, and he'sPOke a few words ,to an ecquaintance whom he recognized in the crowd. He then addressed the people generally, in a firm tone of voice, repeating circumstantially the confession of his guilt, and exculpating Pram any participation in the foul deed his bro ther and other. persons whose names had been falsely impli cated in the transaction. Ile freely forgave his prosecutors, and concluded by expressing his humble hops of mercy for the sake and throngle the -.merits. of Christ. The prisoner then joined, the clergymen and others present in fervent prayer, after which the executioner pre:deeded to do his duty; and in a few.- minnies the unfortunate man was launched into eternity. NM withatrinding thtlappalling horror of nis guilt, almost tiolkary for its enormity, there were few who could suppress a feeling of commiseration for the unhappy criminal, when they considered his hitter and sine* 'repentance end his extrenie youth.' Ile was little mere than 20 years old, a circumstance which should operate as a solemn warning to the rising:generation 7` to re member their Cmater in the .days of their youth."—l Erne Fi um the LON N GAZETTE, Aprit 1.

This gay assemblage, which had been the subject of conversation for many weeks previously, at length took place on Thursday the 20th inst. ; and however expecta tion might have been exalted, yet . it is but justice to say, that the most sanguine imagination was most abundantly gratified. The subscription was ten guineas each, by forty-seven bache lors; but we have heard that this sum will not keep pace with the abundant hospitality of the donors of this splendid festival. At nine o'clock the party began to congregate at the Assembly Rooms, and at ten the rooms were full. The' Gentlemen ba chelors received their numerous guests with every polite atten tion ; they wore distinguished by a, white rosette placed on the left breast, and‘hey were fully conspicuous from the Gentle manly amenity and urbanity of their demeanour towards their fair visitors. Dancing soon began, and it was a sight which can only be imagined, but not described ; the painter that would do justice to such a scene must dip his brush in the various colours of the rainbow. The number of persons assembled are stated to have exceeded four hundred and fifty. Amongst the best dressed characters (fur they were not sus tained by any further display) were Dr. Headiatn, as Isaac of York ; Sir C. Monek, in an ancient Spanish dress, with a fall ing collar of rich, laCe ; Mr. J. L. Loraine, in a blue dress of the age of Gco.. 11. which became him inimitably ; Mr. Joseph Lamb, as a Spanish. Nobleman ; Mr. John Davidson, in a most magnificent Spanish suit of white satin, with a blue satin mantle ; Mr. Samuel Parker, as Hamlet ; and Mr. Joseph Bain bridge, as Dr. Pangloss ; but it would be impossible to enumer ate the splendid dresses worn on this .occasion, where all were truly rich and magnificent, and where expence and taste seemed to vie with each other in endless variety. There were High. land chiefs, officers in the army and navy; court dresses in pro 'fusion, Robin Hood,•lndian Chieftains, Turks, Mamelukes, and Janissaries. The surprise - which was naturally felt on an introduction to such an incongruous assemblage was visibly ex pressed on the fair countenances of all the guests.—Of the dress of the Ladies we do not pretend to speak, yet we must he am. lowed to say, (with a few brilliant excellent exceptions) that the Ladies had not given their fancy the free scope whiCh the oc casion demanded.—After various amusing dances, a most excellent and cheering band of music, supper was announced by the sound of the bugle, about two o'clock. The supper room was decorated for the occasion widiflowersand ever- greens, and the profusion which appeared on the board promised soon to restore the fatigues of the evening. Mr. John Brand ing presided. After supper (which consisted of every thing in and out of season, with an abundant choice of the finest fla voured foreign wines) the President rose, 'and in a speech re plete with wit and humour, expressed his thanks to the fair Ladies who had honoured the first call of the bachelors; he lamented the state of lonelinesi in which so many, of his bre. thren laboured in single wretchedness. lie was afraid their natural timidity had prevented them heretofore from an attempt to change their unhappy state ; yet front the events of that night he must predict that many changes would take place, and the brotherhood would be sadly reduced before another year had elapsed. The Ladies, had kindly attended their summons, and where they had before them so many lovely reasons for chang ing their condition, what heart could resist theif winning in fluence. Under these impressions he begged leave to drink the health of all the Ladies present, with many thanks to them for the honour they had conterred upon the poor bachelors. - , Sir C. Alonelc proposed the health of the donors of t e feast, which was drank with great applause. The President gave the health of his Regiment of Bachelors, ...—the glorious 47th. Drank with immense applause and shouts oflaughter. The Vice. President (C. Cookson), Esq.) said, that whilst he subiciibed cordially to what had fallen from the worthy Presi dent, and equally lamented withhim the unhappy fate of ilia brethren ; yet he would not attribute the entire blame tq. the bachelors—some may have been unfortunate—they may have met with cruelty and have been rejected—he-would, thereftire, propose a toast, which would be an encouragement to his . brethren—." Tender Hearts." This toast, and the irresistible manner of the speaker, produced.,repeated bursts of applause. The ladies shortly afterwards retired, and were soon joined by the representatives of all parts or the world,' who had re mained to drink their healths helow.

Messrs: Vo u'Ana:Ertsott, litoNogi FA VETTE, and KbEclif,lN, Deputies of the De.; partment of the Upper Rhine, to their Consti tuents `.` Gentlemen. and Dear Fellow-Citizens, tQII are acqUainted with the facts which have determined the party of the Chamber of Deputies with whom we sit to abstain frtim protein at the deliberations of the. Chamber, :" You know also that another part of the Members of tl i o Minority, who moreover partfcipate in our sentiotents, think' it a duty to - appear on the benches'of the Chamber, without taking part in its deliberations. If there is some dissimilarity in the outward form of con: duet of the Peputies who compVse the left side and the left centre, it.. is impossible foe either the ene er the ether to give the sanction of their assistance 'w the acts , the Clistuber f which has violated, in the person of one of its memb'erai the, itt dependence and thevights of all; Which has destrayed the elec. , toral sovereignty, in depriving, of its represtvativa a fraction of the French population, and consequently the entire Frtrilell pulacion, to whom, from the moment of his election; this De puty belonged ; and, lastly, -which has sapped the fundamen- tai basis upon which all Representative Governmems repose. " The circumstances which has led us to this strp is not the only one which might, and which possibly ought, to have con: ducted us to the same determination.. You have heard more than once ourselves and our honourable friends- proelsitit from the tribune, the unconstitutionality of the existing law of elec., tion—of that law of the double vote, which being a formal breach of the charter, necessarily places in' the Chamber an asSemblage tending, if not 'to Overthrew, sit least to disfigure and corrupt the charter itself. After 'hating tenitiated that la*, you are witnessess that we have been inilue,d to complain that it was not faithfully executed. In Contempt of :the only article which supplies a weak guarentee for the freedom of voting—the article which prescribes secret voing—almost all the electors, and aboVe, all, those who from situation are most , dependent—and not only themselves, but their relatives and ftienda;have.heen under the necessity et' submitting their votes to the inquisitorial eye pf authority. " In the,same manner, nothing i 3 more' notorious than the multiplicity of arbitrary meant employed in every part of France to prevent the election 9f men fit to compose a true re. Presentatien Of the national :Vita and interests. ,Thus, as we have often declared, in the face of FrAnce, not only in consequence of the vicious nature of the new electoral system, the present cont_ positron of the ChaMber of Deputies is tattooed to tional, but even owing,to the violation of the same law of the 29th June, that coniposition is also: illegal. . . " Perhaps those Deputies whom the energy Cif their consti- tuents has placed in the Chamber, in spite of all the mumeuvres cf liowet,'were authorized, in consideration of the former facts alone, to take that resolution which they have adopted under More recent circumstances. Such a'retolution not have been jug, legitimate, and contirrupd by the` approbation of the pub» lip 'But, intrusted with the tndst precioUs of des'po►a, with the most important of trust.s, 1 , 4k , e regarded patience as a sacred duty in your Deputies : we Would not despair of the Chattiber itself, lyliatevpr the origin, the forin, and the agavr:loatioli or the dements of whieli•it is composed ; havi;. • nn: yielde,l to the senthnunt which.directs tea to separate ourselves from its illegal acts, until the moment an incontestable proofs exits that this assemhly, at least whilst it is incOto plete, canrtot be brought back into the paths of the national interests. This painful conviction, against which we'havc long strug. gled, is now also your own. Von will approve the tuotiuSt acd cording to which we deem it our duty to remain strangers to the operations of a Chamber Which has been mutilated by its own hands, andin Which.the national representation, uYell such a. it is, has lost its integrity. " We enjoy the happy confidence that the opinions of our constituents agree with onr own, that our conduct will meet with their approVal, and that we have done that' f ourselves which they would have direCted, if the form of our tioverument ntitted of the public expression of their will.

EARTHQUAKES IN SYRIA, The L e following are extracts of letters addressed to the vant Company, by 'Mr. BA !mut, Consul for Aleppo " SIIEDIA, NEAR ANT tocp, NOV. 29 10 4 2 ." Since the letit:of last month, few days have passed without one. and often several shocks of an earthquake, but generally with mueli bitched 'violence. With the exception of an interni salon now and then of a few,daya, earthquakes have been felt here for nearTv months. A remarkable circumstance in this phenomena is, that the slightest shocks have been always simultaneously felt at Antioch and . Aleppo, as well as the principal shuck which threw down those cities. The distance is about 60 miles I. the focus or central point must therefore be at an inconceivable depth in the bowels of this globe, to affect eqoelly two places so farfrota each other.. As soon as the excessive heats of September had abated, I was preparing to return ,to Aleppo, when my journey was postponed hy the apprehension the:i entertained ot cholera raorbus being added to the (heedful calamity of the eartit quakes ;.that. contagious disorder having successiv e ly passed tramtown to town, from Persia to Urfa, a city in ":ableito poternia, three days' journey ' from 'Aleppo. To-dity I have been ihfonned that hopes can no longer be entertained of its , non-existence at Aleppo,; that the Austrian, Prussian, Neapolitan, Danish, and Swedish agents, haVe quitted the city with their families and nunterons dependents, to gotato the neighbouring-Paehalic of Damascus and Saida ; and that the French and Spanish Consul!, with all the other Europ m eans, have cut off all counintnics.ton with the people, as in tie of plague." Dee, 31--When I wrote on the '9th of last month, the cholera maims had Cortßelled tnost of the ppulaiir. agents at Aleppo .to quit the environs of that city, and' tho.vest of the Europeans to shot their- doors, AS ia time of. plague but it was hoped the approach of cold weather 5(111111 prevent the propess of the disease. • I have now the pleasure *to Inform you, that that hope has been realized, and the, ir vier a oon-Ans Is no -longer, one of the evils to which this unhappy .p s opti, is exposed although some are not without the' apprehenition by the stale, La' may other hand, I mull ~orry to say, thatievere - shorits ofcarthquakea i t , h r a ti a t , k 1 Like tie again. p lag w e i e tu , though t r g e t ir i w o s f tes i p e ell 4nn seubm.
