We hasten to publish a proclamation just found on on officer, decorated with the order of St. George, who was killed in a recent attlir, dated " SAMARAD, Jan. 29, OR the hanks of the Wolga. " It is an old man, seventy years of age, who has lived during the reign of four Sovereigns, and who now, towards the end of his life, disgus!ed with the despotism with which he is surrounded, revives in your hearts sentiments of national liberty, and will die free. Raise your heads, 0 Russians ! All Europe, and particularly that part which is the most civilized and enlightened, acknowledge that there is nothing so despicable as to support slavery, and the yoke of despotism. Have you not vigorous arms, have you not souls inaccessiide to fear, why then should you not be able to shake the chains with which you are fastened ? " Russia, the Queen of the North of Europe, having saved the liberty of others, will not fail for herself : why do you tremble without the daring of ' courage, you slaves of a despotic Czar ? you tremble at the very name of liberty, and the idea of it is, in your eyes, the greatest of crimes. Is it then possible, that theme Who here the tenor of the world, can suffer to reaiain the slave of prejudice and ignorance ? " Russia, the eyes of all Europe are turned towards you : the world knows the bravery of Rus sian heroes ; the- straightforward labourer and the 11*h-spirited noble are known ; but of what use are these qualities, where. despotism reigns in the name of legal power,—there where pride raises its bold front, treats its neighbour with disdain,and, spreading its wing=, tries to smother litre; ty and honour ? What is it that stops your course ? Why do you not fly to obtain inestimable liberty ? Is ir, perhaps, prejudice which prevents you. Your ancestors were born and died slaves. Oh ! may the light of liberty now disperse the- clouds of slavery ! There are now uo Russians in any class who do not understand the true value of liberty; but they look for an impulse they cannot give themselves ; they sigh in silence, — they await the moment to conquer their liberty. " There is not an example in the history of any people, that those who are firmly determined to ob tain their liberty do not succeed. God protects their efforts. Look at the happiness of other people while 3on remain the victims of an increasing des potism. You see even at borne the love of a people for a Sover e ign who commenced his reign with jus tice and clemency; but, alas! it was only the com mencement; for at length, blinded by pride, nou rished by vile &acre's, he cruelly deceived the hopes which he raised. Look to the fruits of that justice and clemency. We must suffer punishments till then unknown ; victims of his suspicions, but neither tried nor convicted ; and all this only in order that he might reign despotically. Our war m's are returned from Turkey covered with new laurels; all are not come buck; many arc mis-,ing. Where are they ? They are btyond the Bateau ; their ashes repose in a foreign land, if at least the Russians in their misery could say they have pe rished, but they have perished for their country. But alas! no,„they are sacrificed, offered up to pride arid the barbarism of two de-pots. Where are our fathers, our brothers, our childnn? They will never return; . but in thei r j us t vengeance t h ey send the comramons of their tombs—sickness and the plague, which, as auxiliarie=, will end in giving the death blow to those who would obtain their liberty. You will see the vengeance of an offended and insulted God : these insults increasing, in an awful degree, even in our holy Church, from the reign of the Czar Alexander Federowitz. " Oh, Russians, fear that each minute will rake your situation more terrible ; every thing proves that the wisdom which is the dawn of national hap- piriess is smothered amongst us. Commerce is left without protection, the merchants oppressed with enormous taxes, the cultivator is almost forced to purchase his subsistence, as if it was the gift of the Czar; the ancient Russian citizens are despised, and strangers fill the principal places in the State ; it is not, therefore, astonishing that they oppress and ruin us, for they are not our brethren. And what has become of our martial spirit ? where are the ancient .Russian heroes ? where are those who armed them selves in the name of God, the nation, and the Czar ? They have all perished, and now we have been chosen to be the vile instruments of despotism. Wo, wo, to us ! And are we to •be blindly obe dient ? We all complain, we shed bitter tears in vain ; are these, then, the arms the brave children of Russia ought to use ? No ; it is with swcrd in hand we must go into the centre of the capital, into the midst of the field of battle ; we ought to demand our national liberty. What can oppose our courage ? The idols of despotism will fall before us, the Czar will become a father, and we shall cease to be orphans : we shall again find a country, and like our brethren in Jesus Christ, the Greeks, we shall become free and immortalize ourselves. Nations less warlike arid less populous have risen with suc cess, although surrounded by empires interested in ti eir destruction. The hour has struck. God, who has in his hands the fate of Kings and of people, will protect us also. Tear asunder, omy country men, the bonds of fanaticism. You have sworn to be faithful, but the Czar, ha; he not also sworn to be your rather ? He has broken his cath, we are free from ours. Let us, notwithstanding, respect our Czar as the representative of God, as the highest authority. Change only the form of Government, and demand a Constitution. " Russians, let all those who desire their happi ficss, and that of their descendants, profit by the present moment, and hasten to the banks of the Wolga ; there the flag of liberty already floats— there the work has commenced. Citizens and warriors have taken the oath, in the face of the whole world, to die, or to be free. Those whom distance prevents from joining us, have only to rouse their sleeping souls, and, sword in hand, demand on the spot which they inhabit liberty and a Constitu tion. But - it is principally to you, Russian warriors, that I address myself, and it is towards you that the country holds out-its arms ;it is from you that it expects deliverance ; do not allow that it will be any longer the plaything of savage despotism. The throne has no other defenders than the slaves that surround it. They will betray for money in the field of battle as they have done in the council.— We must be free: rise, and the throne will tremble; but if the despot will arrest our enterprise, and that by the aid of those accomplices on whom he bestows all favours, in forgetting that he is our Monarch and not theirs,---in forgetting that he is the father of all the Russians,—then the whole world will see that the Russians are not made for slavery,—that they must have their liberty : they can be free, and the will be free. " General JERMOLOFF." The hat makers and finishers in the employ of several of the London manufacturers, to the number o. 200 and upwards, struck work on the 25th of March last. The case is briefly this. These masters employ a body of makers in the West of England, who, for 11 or 12 years past, have been members of a club, called the Waterloo Fund, for maintaining their sick and other purposes. This fund the Undon men demand of them to break up, and to pay 2s. per week each man into the London Fund, managed by a committee of 21, and to place them selves in all trade affairs under their controul ; threatening them at the same time, in the event of their non-compli ance, that they (the London men) would strike work against those masters who did not discharge the country men so refusing to comply. This demand of sending adrift 300 industriou s and valuable men, being so arbitrary and unjust, the masters are determined to resist it, and they retain them accordingly. The public should know, that the greatest part of th ese turn -outs were earning, on average, from 2/. 10s. to 3/. 10s. per week. A letter from Messina, dated March, says, " after having for several days experienced several shocks of an earthquake, of more or less violence, we have wit nessed a new opening in the crater of Mount Etna, which was followed by a considerable eruption. A s this opening did not take place towards Catana, in the direction of the sea, as has usually been the case, but towardi the west, the stream of lava took a direction to the interior."

The Manifesto of General JERMOLOFF to the Russians, calling on them to insist on de manding a Constitution from the Ultra-Tory of the North, the infatuated Emperor NICHOLAS, is extremely important, and demands the most attentive consideration. It confirms the truth of what we asserted some weeks since— that the insurrection which ushered in the present CZAR'S accession to .the Throne was only scotched, not killed, and that it waited only a favourable opportunity to break out again with redoubled energy. The throne of NICHOLAS, we apprehend, is already in a totter ing state. The crown sits loosely on his Royal sconce. What with Persia—Tut key—Finland —Poland—and the warlike provinces of Georgia and Circassia, all of whom are on the stir, it is evident that the CZAR will have quite enough to do, without troubling himself to interfere further with the affairs of France, Belgium, or Italy. It must be highly gratifying ,to the advocate s of Reform to see the way in which the more re spectable, influential, and intelligent portions of the Clergy are taking up the question. Scarcely one great county meeting has been held within the last few months, that has not been graced by the presence of some liberal and accomplished member of the Church. At the highly im portant Warwickshire Reform meeting, a report of which will be found in another column, a Clergyman, by name WADE, delivered his opinions at length on the subject, and stated, in the most explicit terms possible that he ap ' proved of, and would make every exertion to support the measure, because in principle it was strictly constitutional, and presented the only secure bulwark against revolution. The Rev. Doctor, in fact, grounded his support of the Reform Bill on the plea of his being by profes sion a Minister, and by inclination a lover, of peace. But, he added, a continuance of public tranquillity could scarcely be looked for, should the measure in its progress through Committee, be crippled by the interested revisions of the boroughmongers. In this opinion Sir G. CH ET.• WYN DE, who proposed the first resolution, and every other speaker at the meeting concurred. The Bill—the whole Bill—and nothing but the Bill—was the demand of one and all. Not an individual would hear of a compromise. It was justice—and nothing more—that the assembly called for ; and justice they declared they would have. As for clipping, adulterating, or emasculating the Bill, it was not for an instant to be thought of. The whole kingdom isequally unanimous on this point. Its expectations have been highly raised ; it has been led to believe that now, for the first time, it is to be a partaker in the blessings of a free and impartial Constitution ; and should the cup of hope be now dashed from its lips—for to cripple the Reform Bill in any of its vital points would be absolutely a greater affront to a loyal and high-minded nation, than to withdraw it in toto—we would not answer for the safety of the country from one day to another. We firmly believe, that before the expira tion of the week, which should announce the disastrous tidings, a million of men, re solved to see their Sovereign ' s and their Mini sters' wishes complied with, would be on their march to the metropolis ! We mention this from no empty boast—from no base, vulgar desire to intimidate ;—we mention it solely because it is the strict, the literal truth. Daily communications reach us from all quarters of the kingdom, penned by men of all classes, and of every possible variety of politics ; but all agreeing in this one material point, namely, that the people are resolute and unanimous, that they have made up their minds to see the Reform Bill carried, Whole and entire, through both H ouse s, and are determined not to be thwarted in their just expectations. And yet, notwithstanding this unanimity --of which he, as well as ourselves, must be aware— a correspondent of a wretched Morning Paper has lately presumed to talk of the moral influence of the boroughmongers. Insufferable assurance As well might this lying scribbler talk of the moral influence of the highwayman ! Both these conge nial spirits, the boroughmonger not less than the highwayman, thrive only by setting the laws of morality at defiance. The one enriches himself at the expence of the KING's subjects on the high road ; the other plunders them more plausibly in the Chapel of St. Stephen's. The amount of their robberies makes the only difference in their respectability. The boroughmonger is a highwayman carrying on business in the whole- sale line ; the highwayman is the boroughmonger c irrying on the same exemplary profession' in the retail way. Were the end of both to be the same, we are far from anticipating that it would break our hearts. We have merely to add that the same resolute spirit which pervaded the proceedings at the War wicksh ire and Sussex meetings, is hourly extending itself throughout the United Kingdom. In Wales the feeling is quite electrical. The great Carmar then county Reform meeting was held last week ; and we are requested to announce that the Pem broke county meeting will be held on Tuesday— the Cardigan county meeting on Thursday—and the Radnor county meeting on Wednesday next. We have received Letters and Papers from Lisbon to the 27th March inclusive ; they con tain no political news of moment. The Frankfort Papers, to the 2d of April, contain the following:— BERLIN, MAR 21.—Accounts from p,.. sen say, that Field-Marshal Guiesnau has seat Major Brandt to tile head-quarters. , It is worthy of remark that the Polish Civil Authorities in t'le provinces occupied by the Russian army take the oath of alleciance to the Emperor as King of Poland, and that his Imperial Majesty has lately conferred on some Ge rais the Polish Order of the White Eagle. We find the following in The Times of this morning, and we can add from our own know ledge that there is no truth whatever in the mali cious and disloyal reports circulated, that the QUEEN was against the Reform Bill, or endea voured to influence a higher quarter to that effect : " Reports have lately been much circulated, with re ference to a belief of an improper interference on the part of an illustrious personage on the subject of the Reform Bill. We know that lady to be as much dis tinguished for the most amiable feelings, and for a just sense of her duties, as she is by her exalted station : with such feelings, every thing tending to political in trigue, or to an active part in the measures of a party, is absolutely incompatible ; and we are as confident as we are of our existence, that no attempt'could proceed from that quarter to disturb the mind of the Sovereign, or throw difficulties in the way of his Ministers. We think it necessary to say thus much in justice to the exalted personage in question, and we would guard the public against the error of supposing that the language and conduct of certain persons belonging to the Royal Household can have received the slightest encouragement from the authority by which they have been said to be approved." Despatches have been received at the Foreign Office this morning from the British _Minister at Lisbon. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—(rmsDAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, Aritir. S.—Wind S.

COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of GLOUCESTER is recovering very fast from his indisposition. His Royal Highness passed a very good night on Thursday night, and oa Sir HENRY HALFORV visiting his Royal Highness yesterday morning, he found the Royal Duke so much improved that he did not think it necessary to issue a bulletin. The verbal answer given to the inquiries yesterday was, that his Royal Highness was going on very well. The Duke of SUSSEX made his personal inquiries yester day after the health of his Royal relative, and visited the Duchess of GLOUCESTER. Despatches were sent off from the Colonial Office, on Thursday evening, for Lord Awstva, the Governor of Lower Canada. ------- - ---- --- Sir EDWARD LEES, who has been appointed Secretary at the Post-office here, arrived on Tuesday from London by the Soho steam ship.—Caledonian 3lercury• Mr. E. TAYLOR'S CONCERT.—The large room at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, Was las t night crowded with a fashionable auditory, at a concert given by the above-named gentleman. The band was select. The principal instrumental performers being, LINDLEY, NICHOLSON, G. COOKE, WILLMAN, MACKIN- Tosu, HARFER, PLATT, and WAGSTAFF. The vocal de partment was chiefly sustained by Madame STOCKH A usEN, Miss MassoN, (two sisters, the Misses BRANDON) and Miss LLoyn—who made so successful a debut at the last Ancient Concert—Messrs. E. 'T AyLott, TERRAIL, BROADHURST, and SALE. Sir GEORGE SMART con ducted, and Mr. F. CRAMER led. We have not room for entering into minute particulars, but must not omit noticing a ballad sung by BROADHURST, and a Swiss melody by Madame SrectcHausain nor ought we silently to pass her fine recitativo and aria " No perduto it bel sembiante" by PAESIELLO, which Miss LLOYD sang most beautifully effective. The pathos and expression she imparted to this difficult music delighted and surprized the audience. The concert went off ex tremely well, OLD BAILEY-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. George Widgett, a butcher, was capitally indicted for stealing fifty -one sheep, in . the parish of Lewisham, the property of . William Stowe. The prisoner is a man of respectable appearance, and has for a length of time kept a butcher's shop in Long-alley, Sun-street. - Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS conducted the prosecution, and Mr. CLsossoN was Counsel for the prisoner. From the evidence of several witnesses it appeared that the sheep were stolen on the 4th of March, from a field in the parish of Lewisham, belonging to a Mr. Tyler. They were safe on Thursday evening, March 3, and the next morning at an early hour they were missing. From the appearances of their foot-marks it was evident there bad been considerable difficulty in forcing them out ofthe field. Some days after they were stolen Mr. Tyler and Mr. Stowe, jun., in consequence of some information they ob tained, proceeded to the yard of Mr. Aguttar, a feltmon ger, at Deptford, where they found twenty skins; which they had no doubt belonged to the sheep that had been stolen ; and in consequence of some further information obtained at Mr. Aguttar's, they went to the prisoner's house, where they found eigh&een other skins, which they also thought were the property of Mr. Stowe. The twenty -skins had been sold by the prisoner to a hotelier in Lea denhall market, and by him sent to Mr. A . , ,,ruttar's, Th« prisoner, when taken into custody, said he bought thirty eight sheep for 301. in Old-street-road. Ile also told where he had disposed of the skins. Edward Wood stated that he was a servant to Mr. War mington. a hide and a skin salesman in Leadenhall market. It was part of witness's business to collect skins. On the Bth of March, the prisoner delivered to him at his house, in Long-alley, twenty sheep skins, which he, witness, de livered to his master's foreman. They were afterwards sold to Mr. Aguttar. John Devonshire was foreman to Mr. Warmington. On the Sth of March he received twenty skins of last wit ness, which were disposed of the same day to Mr. Aglitter, of Deptford. They were an unusual description of skins to be sent to market. Witness had brew in the habit of receiving skins of the prisoner, but only one or two at a time. James Aguttar lived at Deptford. lie purchased on the Bth of March twenty skins of last witness. He observed at the time that they had been badly butchered. lie after. wards gave four of the skins to Smith, the officer. They were marked with the letter S. , William Smith, a police officer, corroborated the testi tneny of the former witnesses. William Attfield, an officer belonging to Worshipstreet Office, apprehended the prisoner in Newgate-market, at which time he told witness that he had bought 38 sheep for 30/. of a man that he,did not know in Old-street-road, neither did he know where the man lived. The prisoner told witness that he lived in Long alley. Char!es Barratt was a private watchman in Long-alley. On a I ridgy morning, about five o'clock, he was on duty near Finsbury-market, when be met a fl,,ck of sheep. Two men were driving them, be believed the prisoner to be one of them, but could not swear to him. The sheep appeared very dirty, they were driven into a house occu pied by the prisoner. Richard Goodhand, a drover, lodged in the prisoner's house; remembered between five and six o'clock in the morning, on the 4th of March, a quantity of sheep being driven there ; he should think there were betwe(n 40 and 50. Oa the following day the prisoner, and three other men who assisted, were killing the sheep until eleven o'clock at night. The next morning they commtnced killing again. William Robson—The prisoner's landlord stated that on the 4th of March be saw the prisoner and some other men killing a quantity of small sheep, they were marked with the letter S. John Abbott was a watchman at Lewisham ; about one o'clock on the 4th of March he saw two men driving from forty to fifty sheep, at a fast rate, towards London. He had not the least doubt but that the prisoner was one of the men. Mr. Putuars said that he had a great number of other witnesses, but he would not call them except the prisoner wished to cross-examine them. Mr. CLARKSON, the prisoner's Counsel, said he thought it was not necessary to call them. This closed the case for the prosecution. The prisoner, on being galled on for his defence, per sisted in "stating that he bought the sheep of a man that he did not know in Old• street road. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. Lord TENTERDErihaving summed up, the Jury, after a short consultation returned a verdict of Guilty.—Deatb. This case occupied the Court the entire morning. NEW COURT. Edward Stenningford, aged 29 years, was indicted for taking away by force, on the 10th of February, a child of the name of James Legron, under the age of 10 years, for the purpose of stealing his clothes. There was a second count charging him with taking away by fraud.-:-- Guilty. William Stockwell was indicted for stealing, on the 21st of March, a quantity of wt•rking tools, value 75., the property of William Norfolk, at whose house the pri soner lodged. —Guilty. Thomas Skinner was indicted for stealing on the 31st of March two books, value 10s., the property of John Spencer, bookseller, Soho.—Guilty. Charles .Roberts, a costermonger, was indicted for carrying away a child named William Harding, and steal ing various articles of dress from his person—Guilty. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK From the American Papers received this morning, we learn that the following resolution was passed by the House o f Representatives on the last day of the Session : R es olved, That the President of the United States be requested to renew and to prosecute from time to time such negociations with the several maritime Powers of Europe and America as be may deem expedient, for the effectual abolition of the African slave trade, and its ulti. mate denunciation as piracy under the law of nations, by the consent of the civilized world. w e understand that 150 of the blockade seamen have been entirely discharged by Government at Deal. This is a proof that Government are not in want of seamen. THE FUNDS.

It is said that in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, Lord JoHN RUSSELL will be put in nomina tion for the county. of Devon, in opposition to Sir Thomas DYKE ACLAND, who has given great offence to many of his constituents by the equivocal speech he made on the second readin g of th e Reform .Tourrtat. DEATH OF MR. QUICK; THE CEL.r• BRATED COMEDIAN. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) We have this week to recorl the death of the voter n comedian Mr. Jahn Qoi,k, ir.r many sears the principa' favourite comedian of Cavent-garden theatre, which event took place on Monday last, at his residence near Islingtor church. Mr. Quick teas in his 83d year, and may b considered as the last of the Garrick school. Mr. Quid was the son of an eminent brewer, and horn in the neigh bon/I. O A of Whitechapel, in 1748. At the age of 14 he left his parents for the precarious life of a player, an• joined a little strolling company in the vicinity of London whose manager was the famous Oliver Carr, who used t. boast of having taught Garrick to act when he first mad. his appearance at Goodman'a-fields theatre. At Fulham, Mr. Quick first commenced his theatrical career, and per formed the character of Alt amont in the Fair Penitent, which he personified so notch to the satisfaction of the ma nager, Mr. Carr, that he desired his wife to set young Quick down a whole share, which, at the close of the farce, amounted to three shillings. In Kent and Surrey he figured away with great stress ; and before he was 18 per'ormed Hamlet, Richard, Romeo, George Barnwell, Jalli cr, 'uncred, and many other characters in the higher walk• of tragedy. In a few years he sufficiently distinguishe himself as an actor of such versatile talents, that he wa• erkzage d by Mr. Foote at the Haymarket theatre, in 1766, where he became so great a favourite of King George tht Third, that his Nlajesty used to call him " his actor," a' did Charles the Second the celebrated Anthony Leigh, and upon all occasions when George the Third visited Covent , garden theatre, Quick was expected to appear in a nent character. He was the original Tony Lumpkin, Acres land Isaac Mendoza, and after his appearance in those cha racters he stood before the public as the Liston of the day. He somewhat resembled Harley in kis indefatigable exer tions, for during twenty years he was rarely out of play of farce, anti during that time but two apologies were mad, to the public on account of ill health. In the season ol 1798 he felt, with the fatigues of his profession; his con stitution very much shook, and after performing Moist Oakly, for Mrs. Mattocks' benefit, he withdrew from the theatre by medical advice, but when, in consequence of the destruction of Covent-garden theatre by fire, that company performed at the Lyceum, Quick joined them for a limited number of nights. Ile was remarkably fond of tohfat4Obeyveearrasgaegiot would e ui D d o b e e to a r i s e d p e r a lthe of - s l p i i i ued m ne ; thi: l a t ta e, nif' h ib o tei n p • d e w v raa e nr r d , ks utterly disregarded their advice. He was a great pedestrian, and when acting at Weymouth, the favourite bathing-place of George the Third, his present and late Majesty joined Quick in his favourite stroll on tlo beach, the Prince of Wales happened to fall over a pro jecting piece of rock, his brother Clarence assisted him to rise, and said " This is the effect you see, George, of ven turing on quicksands."' When Mr. Quick retire 3 from the stage,- he possessed funded property to the amount of 10,0001. He has left a son and daughter, who are both in comfortable circum•tances. * It is not every. roan who can boast of having taken a sociable walk with three Kings.—En. LITERATURE. WESTMINSTER REVIEW, No. XXVIII. This Review is admirably adapted to the capacities of that class of society, whose habits of thought, and feelings, and interests it pro fesses to represent—we mean the intelligent, in fluential, and increasing mieldle class. Its various articles are penned in a keen and searching spirit ; they have little or no parade of language ; no metaphorical garniture, absolutely no verbiage, but are replete with sound sense and arguments vigorously conceived, and as vigorously ex . - pressed. The present number is one of the best we have yet seen. It is almost wholly of a practical character ; is full of facts, and will bear a frequent and attentive consideration. We wish, however, its Editor would condescend now and then to be a little less of the Utilita rian, and a li.tle more of the man of letters ; to be a disciple of Addison as well as of Franklin : the infusion (however slight) of such a liberal and refined spirit, would considerably enhance the worth of this Review, and materially con tribute to extend its circulation. We cannot always dine off partridges; we cannot always be bored with the Utilitarian dogmas. We repeat, however, that the present number is an improve ment on its predecessors. It is more various in its subjects, more original in its style of treating them, and in the tones of its politics enters into no unworthy compromise with power or preju dice, but speaks the truth boldly arid without reserve. Its best articles are those on the Dif fusion of Useful Knowledge, and on the present condition of Poland and France, both which are as well executed as it is possible to conceive.— Our very contracted limits prevent us from en tering further into detail.

STEWART-DREADFUL ACCIDENT ! (From the Derry Sentinel of April 4. ) These unfortunate but guilty men under Went the awful .enicnee of the law at the front of Lifford-gaol, on Satur day evening last. From nine o'clock in the morning, Towels were to be seen hastening, from every part of the -ountry, to the scene of death. At half-past three o'clock 'the Judges having left the town for Derry), the horse trul foot Police, together with the military doing duty here, were drawn up in the large square opposite the zaol. Not less than 12,000 persons were there assembled. Every preparation having been made, at four o'clock the hour of the fatal crop-roots was opened, and in a few minutes after the wretched culprits, dressed in white robes, appeared. They entered into prayer with their confessor, -he Rev. Mr. ill'Hugh (Roman Catholic Chaplain of the prison), and his Curate, and very fervently responded to their prayers to the Saviour. They seemed quite penitent, and resigned to their fate, but markt no public confession. Having been paced under the beam, they drew down their caps over their eyes, and, With fervent call, for ,nerey on their lips, the drop fell. James died witiaout struggle—but, melancholy to relate,, the rope by which Alexander was suspended broke, and ,he was precipitate :I o) the pavement, a distance of neatly forty feet! He fell with the side of his head on his own coffin, which was broken, and rebounded off it a few feet. He was in oanzly carried in (supposed to be dead) by two officers If the gaol. The executioner, also dressed in white, with the part that covered his face daubed over with black, by the assistance of a ladder, seen put another and, a stronger rope over the block, and with some difficulty again raised the dr,p—in doing which the unforuntte culprit, then suspended, was pushed, as much a+ possible, to the one side, and lowered a little farther, In about twenty minutes from the time he fell, to the astonishment :if the assembled multitude, Alexander again appeared, and walked out on the trip more firmly than before, an swering to the prayers of tie Clergy. He took his place, rod the signal being given, the drop was again slipped, but it rested on the shoulder of James, who was again pushed aside, and Alexander was launched into eternity, hut not suddenly. The board slowly moved down, sliding: along James's body. The knot of the rope had APIA round under the chin of - Alexander, and he suffered (1, ead ray for several minutes. Hie whole body was convulsed during the strangulation he several time; put his feet to the wall, and pushed himself from it wi,h great force— his clothes burst open, so that his naked breast was seen—and the cap not being altogether over hist face, blood, was seen flowing from the wooed which he had received, on the cheek in the fall. The feelings of the beholders, cannot be described they were most agonizing. At length:: his hands fell—his hotly was seen to stretch—and he hung motionless alongside his brother. After hanging the usual time, they were cut down, and their bodies handel over for dissection. Their relatives were permitted to vis►t them in Friday morning : they then ee.4ned quite indifferent. Up to that time they betrayed no signs of penitence. Inan hour after receiving sentence they were asleep in their beds. Ja►e,es was about 25 years of age—Alexander 22 they were both mmi.d. The mother and sister, and Alexander's. wife, were among the spectators during the execution.. Before the door of ►he press-room was opened, their cries were most distressing: from the moment the unforr,nate men appeared, their voices were sill. The 11 .:v. M'llugh, with several other of the Clergy, remained with the wretched culprits during the whole of Ftidav night, and up to the hour of execution, and succerded in bringing them to a full sense of ther awful situation, For the last three mon•hs their unfc,ritinate parent and their families were forced to live at a ditch side: the country people levelled their trout:: tr, the ground, and no individual would give them sk:iter—sueb was the it:dips:l -eo:I against them. DRURY.LANE 'hi EATRE.-A new tragedy was acted for the first time last night under the title of The Pledge, or Castilian Honour, and met with complete and deserved success. Hernani, the tra gedy by Vicrox. Huota, excited about a year ago in Paela so much interest and attention, that the experirma a t of producing it before a London audience was thought Worth the trial. For the present translation and atir,ption the theatrical public are indebted, we believe, to kr. SHERI DAN KNOWLES, WhO has done ample justic e to his subject, and accomplished his task with equal jt!.gment and The plot afforded many strikingly affecting and highly dramatic situations. These a'acuatiens received adequa.ae justice from the performers, who seemed all fuily pris...,essed with the spirit of their parts. nacaeaeov, WALLACE, and COOPER, have seldom, we think, _performed better, not excepting their acting in Werner, while l'slisa Pom mes was certainly never seen to greater advantage. Be aides the applause which accompanied the striking points that occurred in nearly every scene, there were long-aaatt tinued plaudits at the conclusion of each act ; and at the filial 1,11 of the curtain and announcement of the piece for repetition, the favourable verdict was decided and una nimous. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.-.The opinion that Ministers will not he able to carry the Reform Bill without a dissolution of Parliament, appears to be gaining ground in the city, We are inclined to think that a disso lution will not take place ; but there can be little doubt that it would give the Government a much greater majotity tla.n they will be able to obtain in the present House.— Still a majority is a majority, and, 30 far as the Commons are concerned, one would be as goad es one hundred. The Bill, however, if carried in the Lower House, will have to stand the ordeal of the Peers, and the question is whether they might not venture to throw it out in case it should he brought before them unsanctioned by a large majority. If our opinion were asked whether they will do ao— es . a would answer no. It would indeed be a most tinseentl 2 ,- thing for the House of Lords to put a veto upon the reso lution of the Commons, by which they had voted their own incompetency. The Commons themselves ought to be considered the best judges of the character and consti tution of their own House. Besides, as we have before observed, the great majority of the Lords are not interested in keeping up the borough system, hut on the r;ontrary.--- Not more than one in ten of the Peers possesses borough influence ; and as such influence gives greater power to the individuals who possess it, one would naturally suppose that the majority, who have it not, must lock upon the minority with jealousy anti distrust, and consequently be desirous of abolishing it. But he this as it may,tbe people ought to be prepared for the woist. They ought to make arrangement* for a dissolution of Parliament, whether it should eventually take place or not.— Taking this view of the subject, several gentlemen in the city recommend that the example of Mancliesta should be followed in the metropolis, and a subscription entered into to defray the expences of all those candidates favourable to the Bill, and who have not the means of supporting a contest against a rich anti-reformer. This proceeding would be very desirable. But it would be even more desirable that the Reformers should come to; good understanding with each other, in case of an election, hhey should take care that their means and time are not lost by any fruitless contests amongst themselves. Thus, for instance, the Liverymen of London should so arrange matters as to avoid a contest, in ease no anti reformer should oiler himself for the city, For this purpose, a meeting should be held previous to the Election, in order to decide upon the merits of the different candidates-- that is, providing more titan four favourable to the Bill should come forward. The decision of this meeting should be considered final ; and we are quite sure it would be so considered, even though it might not he the most desirable, by all those who, laying aside private views, look only to the carrying of the great measure in question. What would he proper in London would be equally so in every county, city, and borough, in the United Kingdour. For our part we are quite satisfied that, if it was generally understood that. such a plan would be acted upon, we should have very few contests, and none among the Re formers themselves. It would be calculated, too, to pre.. vent the eoetnies of the Bill from coining forward, feeling, as they must, that, in every place where there was any thing like a real election, their only chance of success must be in a division amongst the Retortnera themselves, As for such sheer and impudent impertinencies as " Par-, liamentary Candidate Societies," they ought to be scouted on all hands. If the people have not sense enough to choose their own Representative., they ought not to be repreeentectiat. all. Besides, ita the present in ;ranee, a ll that is required from the electors is wiedom, enough to ask the quest whether the candidate wit: vote for the Bill or not,'and sense enough to understaael.th e difference between yes and no.—Morning Herald.
