MAIDSTONE, AUG. 10 —Yesterday morning Henry Langridge, the morderer of Mr. Sex, paid the just forfeit of his crime at Penenden Heath. This unfortunate man from the time of his con demnation behaved with the greatest penitence and contrition. The Chaplain of the prison (the Rev..l. Argles) spewed .him the greatest Cita tion, end afforded. hint all the religious console- , tion in his power, which was attended to with much fervency by the prisoner, who repeatedly acknowledged the justness of his sentence. At a quarter past eleven o'clock,.the mas Fire gate of the New (it& was thrown open, and Ole prisoner cattle forth seated in a waggon, which was to con vey him to the place of execution,, attended by the Under Sheriff and mind escort. He held in his hand a religious tract, which he read with much attention on his way to the Heath ; he.appeared very composed,. end his countenance was more open mod. cheerfd Oen' when on his trial ; he scarcely took his eves off the hook on the road, but on entering upon the Heath he cast an expres ! siviook towards the scaffold and heaved a sigh. •When arrived at the fetal spot, the Chaplain ascend id the waggon, and prayed with him several rni ' Oates ; at the conclusion he took a farewel of the Clergyman anti the Governor of the pri son, and ascended the platform with a firm step. The person who aced as executioner last March was prevented from attending now by revere ill ness, in conseqitence of which the unpleasant office fell upon Stevens the,Turnkey, who pro. i ceeded in his ditty by adjusting the rope round the neck of the wretched man ; when this was finish ed. he Raked if a coffin was, on the Heath for his' hotly, the executioner replied in the affirtnntivc, he appearing to dread the idea of his body being dissected ; he then begged to_tepeat the Lord's Prayer, which he did in a very low tone of voice. The cap was then drawn over his face, and in a few minutes he was launched into eternity ; be appeared to die easy, being but little conyulbed, After having hung the usual time, his bony was cut down and delivered over to Messrs. Day and Whitman, surgeons to the ,Gaol,, to be di . ssected and ana:otnized, pursuant to his sentence.,. The number of spectators on the Heath was very small to what there is in general.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. POOR LAWS. REPORT OF TBE COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, 1819. The COmmittee appointed to consider of the Poor.

The Consideration, that upiliards of tWo centuries had elapsed since the ;3iyaiern Was establiShed. that bad. operated in the mean time; and latterly with augmented force, Upon ttme• habits - , the pursuits, the feeling's, and the 'Social econball'OT a large class of the torinnurity, induced' that'COMmittee td attempt to correct, in the first iiistance; the ad ministration of the ; and to 'consider Such it - leans as nmiOt,.hy.iheir gradual operation, effect alraiisition to a better order of thinga.,' and revive those habits of iniltisiry and frugality,- which a reliance upon au indiscriminate parish support Must necessarily impair. They cOoseqoenfly ro. commended to the House, and the Legislature has since enacted, various provisions' for the' better administration of this system. Regn!atireni have been prescribed for the conduct of Parish Vestries, with a view of securing a more efficient control over that expendittire, which is• become so large in its amount as to require the vigilant attention of those most interested in the welfare of the parish ; a weight, therefore has been given to the persons rated, proportioned, in some degree, to the magnitude of their respective contribotious. In populous places, however, the nmnbets of which that body is composed being too great for convenient discharge of complicated and de. tailA buS;ness, power has been given to the vestry at large. of choosing a select body, on whom new antiviirity is conferred, and 'under whose direction the officers of the parish are to act ,in'tbt.nflanage mem and relief of the poor. Their proceedings and coders are moreover not subject to tile con trol of a single Magistrate. It has been also speciallY' enjhined, that built the select vestry and magistrates, in determining the nature and City' of relief required in particular eases, shall take into their . cotesirierationthe eberaezer and con• duct of the applicant, itr order that the same noes. *ore of relief may not he extended to the wants arising froM unavoidable mistortnne on'ahe one hand . , and from idleness and extravagante On the other ; it being important that the express words of the law almould leave the duty such ' initiation no lOnger douhtfol. 'lt has heen'also provided, lot the better exc.. cution of the office of overseer in particular cases, that the vestry may appoint an assistant or assist ants, with an adevate Timis provision arose from the inconvenience resulting from the offiee Of overseer being annual, and the injustice of extending' beyond that period a burthen that often retoires the unrequited sacrifice of his whole time and private interests. But a person so se lected,' and remunerated for this task, may -be monied to• devote his whole time to the-service of the parish, and may be expected to become, ftoni a continuance in office, accurately acqnaiut ed With'the duties be has to discharge. more correct adherence to the law, and an uniformity in the system'of management, may therefore be anticipated front such alt appointment, which, tin der annual officers, without a select vestry, may well be wanting. To these pioVisiens have been added others, to guard against evasion in time payment of rates, and against Are frauds of persons who seek to de, :i : froth the parish while they are in the re ceipt of means of subsistence. It having been foOmi es , ,ciitl,ml to make such provision against hestowingfor one man the property of others, without that reim. - : alone can jus tify such an act—the plea w .:!:solute necessity.

The partial alteratiOn of the taw of Settlement, s far as,.it respects the refitting of tenements, Which has also been effected, will undoubtedly have placed 'that part of the law on a more rea sonable and simple footing ; and while it dimi ,nishes the endleSs litigation respecting the nature and • value of the tenement, wilt do longer be all obstacle to the accommodation which may be afforded in some instances to•altoor family, by renting the *pasturage of a cow, or some other temporary profit from the occupation of 150 d.
