your to conquer Chili and Buenos Ayres, then take the title of President, Emperor, or King, of these countries, as may most suit his ambition of titles. (From the Charleston Gazette, Nov. 23.) LATE AND VERY INTERESTING FROM PERU.—We have re ceived commercial advices from Lima as late as the 3th of August, and our correspondent informs us, that notwithstanding there had been no arrivals from the United States for more than three months, .the bakers and flour speculators still held back, and bought very little, believing, as they expressed themselves, that before long many weasels, must arrive from 'the United States, with full cargoes of flour and bread stuffs. The brig George Gar dener, Captain Davidson, sailed from Lima, on the 27th July, with part of her outward cargo, destined for Valparaiso. The ship Corinthian sailed to leeward also, with a considerable portion of her outward cargo, it being impossible to dispose of it at lily reasonable rate. The place may be considered as literally overstocked with every article that is usually imported from the United States and Great Britain, and of course the disposal of them, at even return prices, is out of the question in many instances. We have been looking oat for the ship Arethusa, but she has not yet arrived on this coast, as far as we can ascertain. The Peruvian will, in all probability, leave Lima for the United States in the course of five or six weeks. Our correspondents annex the following prices : Flour, 10 to 11 dollars, on board ; Sperm Candles, 4i rials, do. ; Blue Nankeens, 11 ride, do. ; Bleached Shirtings, 18+ cis. do. ; Lard, 2i to 2} re. in Lima; Ale and Porter, 4 to 44- dole. per dozen ; White Wax plenty, no sale, nominally 60 dollars. The whole of the communications received from Portugal describe the joy, on the receipt of the intel ligence of the intentions of this country to lend its protection to the Constitutional Government, as un bouned. The exultation was the greater in consequence of the despondency which had previously prevailed ; and the public enthusiasm seems to have reached its height when the first detachment of the promised succours arrived in his Majesty's ship Pyramus. The landing of part of the 4th Foot from this ship is described as one of the most inspiring • spectacles ever witnessed ; and perhaps on no former occasion did the troops of a foreign power ever land in any country under such gra tifying circumstances, whether considered with reference to their reception, or the cause which they were about to support—the cruise of national liberty against despotism and superstition. The private letters which we have seen do not put us in possession of many particullrs beyond those which we stated yesterday. The Mar fuis de C HAVES was sa id t o b e a t L amego , w i t h a orce of 10,000 men badly equipped and provisioned, but the defeat of MAGESI in Alentejo by the Count of VILLAFLOR, liad left the South of Portugal clear, and the Government would therefore be able to direct their whole attention to the Northern Provinces. No idea of the plan of operations which would be adopted against the insurgents, when the troops arrived, could of course be formed. The steam-vessel passed two of our line-of-battl e ships, off Cape Finisterre, and it is supposed that they would have reached Lisbon about the 28th or 29th ultimo. By the Lord Melville packet, in eight days from Buenos Ayres, we have received files of the Mensagero Argentine to the beginning of November. Their contents are not important, being chiefly composed of some desultory ope rations relative to the war in that quarter. The Brazilians last a frigate of 40 guns in a storm, which must impair their strength considerably, for the loss of one vessel at such a distance from home is greater than if two had been destroyed with R prospect of immediate reinforcement to supply their place. It was reported that ten respectable merchants had been arrested at Monte Video, for attempt ing to seduce the troops to a revolutionary movement. Great discontent and indignation prevailed in Peru, be cause the Government of Buenos Ayres had refused to recognize the independence of BOLIVIA. Stormy and acrimonious debates took place among the Peruvians, and the Dietator even went so far as to propose that the citi zens of Buenos Ayres and Chile, resident in Peru, should be expelled ; but this was strongly opposed, on account of evident injustice in visiting upon private individuals the supposed sins of their Government BUENOS AYRES. (From the Mensagero Argentino.) OtT, 4.—We have accounts from the Oriental Province, by }Otero to the 25th ult. They are perfectly authentic, and we have great pleasure in giving the following particulars. The insubordination of those who followed Rivera has entirely rhaaPpeared. Colonel Laguera has pursued the remainder of them with great activity, and has shot the principal persona among them. Parties have been sent out in all directions, and pick up stragglers, and we are happy to say that there is no criminal of this description, but that even the robbers and assassins that inundated that province in consequence of the scandalous conduct of Rivera have for the most part disappeared, and the remainder are pursued. - - On the 25th the army was on the Rio Negro, where the divi vi‘iciis that were at Yi and San Josedell Uruguay had joined.— The enthusiasm of the army is extraordinary, and the greatest order and discipline prevail in consequence of the active and Judicious measures of General Alvear. Meantime all the letters agree in the just horror with which the name of D. Fructuoso Rivera is pronounced by every body. w e may add that, according to the decision of the inhabitants and the measures taken, that individual will not readily venture to enter that country. We know that he has arrived at Rosa es? In the jurisdiction of Santa Fe ; the Commandant has de tallied him till he has orders from that Government, which, it Is to be hoped, will act as duty commands. ocronra 7. The President of the Republic considering the necessity of in !'"4"-iing the militia in all those parts of the Country where ' l l g to p rotect property, and the population of the district of tonealoo having considerably- increased, has decreed that a re- Rif/teat of militia (cavalry) shall he immediately formed in that district.

Oe.r. 11 . —The Censor of Upper Peru, of the 7th of Sep tember, contai ns au account o f a d e b a t e i n the Congress, in which a Message from the Government was read, to the effect that Buenos Ayres, having refused to recognise the i ndependence of Bolivia, the Government proposed either to revenge this insult further explanation from the 11Iinister of Buenos Ayres. After a w arm deb a t e , in which some deputies proposed to break o ff all communication with Buenos Ayres, the Congress referred the Note of the Government to a Committee. The subsequent numbers of the Mensagero, contain long arti cles on this subject, and on the injustice of the Dictator, in desir ing to expel from Peru, all citizens of Buenos Ayree and Chili. OCT. 25.—We learn from private letters that the Assembly at Panama has concluded a treaty of confederation, or have agreed to the points relative to external policy which are to compose that A - ct. The same letters say that the Assembly was going to re move to Mexico, and that it would be composed henceforward of one Plenipotentiary from each State. _ _ OCT. 28.-We . have seen numerous letters from Peru ; the hostile measures against the citizens of Buenos Ayres and Chili continue without interruption, and not to speak of the indigna tio❑ which this injustice excites, our countrymen suffer incalcula ble injury by being obliged to abandon their properties, and being kept in perpetual alarm. The Government say that the Buenos Avrians have very liberal principles, that their conversation and their presence are very dangerous to the Peruvians, whose admi nistration must be founded on other bases. The result of this fine opinion is, that all these anarchical people must be got rid of and sent from Peru, whatever be their services and their profession. We subjoin the following extracts from the Lisbon Gazettes down to the 19th, and from the Supplement to the Lisbon Gazette of the 24th tilt. which have reached us this morning:— (From the Lisbon Gazette, of Dec. 16.) A supplement to the Gazette has the following official article : —lt being urgently necessary, for the safety of the country, to remount the corps of cavalry, the Government invites all those persons whom patriotism may induce to give a horse for this pur pose, to inform the Minister of War ; and those persons who can not afford to give, but are willing to sell any, may apply at the depot of Alcantara to Lieut. -Col. Ignacio Jose Semao. DEC. 18.—(Official.)—The Princess accepts the resignation of Senhor Pedro de Mello Breyner, Secretary of State for Eccle siastical Affairs, on account of his bad health and great age, and appoints in his room Luis Manoll de Moore Cabral. Her Royal Highness has appointed Don Francisco Alexander Lobo, Peer of the kingdom, to the office of Secretary of State for the affairs of the kingdom. WAR OFFICE, Du:. 17. The Count de Villa for writes from Portalegre on the 14th— " The uncertainty in which I am respecting the movements of the rebels, under Magessi, has paralyzed my operations ; in the mean time the division was much in need of rest, which will enable it again to make forced marches, if this should be neces sary. I hope every moment to receive news from the frontiers, by which I may guide my operations ; those which I hare re ceived being contradictory. I have before told your Excellency that I had a communication with the General of Lower Beira, and the reinforcements which I have sent him, with which I am persuaded he will be able to maintain himself till I can go to that province, and especially considering the satisfactory news which he sends me in a letter, dated this day. The spirit of the troops of my division, and of all the garrisons in the province is ex- . cellent. General Azeredo writes from Ponte Murcella, on the 15th, that he was expecting the reinforcements intended for him ; that he had sent the Major of the Militia of Tondella to Coimbra, au thorising him to deliver the surplus arms of the Militia of Coimbra to the Corps of Volunteers which was to be organized there.—The General adds, the Corregidor of Guarda has also rebelled ; that the Adjutants and some Officers of the Militia of Argenil had come to him, not choosing to take part in the rebellion ; and that the greater part of these Militia had separated for the same reason. The General says, that the majority of the inhabitants of Upper Beira love the legitimate Government of the King, and that some regular troops will suffice to restore order, and disperse the Militia. General Stubbs and the Marquis de Angeja were to be at Ama rants, with General Mello on the lath, to concert farther opera tions against the rebels. The Chief of the First Division, It. PINTO PIZARRO. FOREIGN OFFICE, Dee. 19. By a ship of war just arrived, a dispatch has been received from the Marquis de Palmella, Ambassador of Portugal at London, dated the 11th, with the following important information. " A battalion of the guards marches this very day from this place for Portsmouth, and from that Port and from Plymouth there will sail :for this kingdom, this week, as M. Canning tells me, five battalions of infantry, which will go without waiting for the cavalry and artillery." WAR OFFICE, Dec. IS. The Conde de Villa Flor writes from Gafele, the 15th. " The communication, I have received from various quarters, and those from General Jose de Silviera, Commander• in Lover Beira, makes it certain that Mageesi entered on the 13th into Al cantara, &c." The rebels, acccording to the last accounts, were assembling in Villa Real, evacuating Chaves and Braganca, and it appears that there are great disagreements among them. General Cavela and the Count Alva, state that all is tranquil in their Govern ments. The General of Upper Beira, writee from Castello Branco, the 15th, stating the movement of the rebels to Aleantara, and that he had immediately informed the Conde de Villa Flor. The forces destined for Upper Beira, were beginning to assemble at Coimbra; the insurrection of the militia having obliged Gen. Aseredo to retreat to Porte de Murcella, whence he would pro ceed to Coimbra. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. Dec. lb.—A Message from the Chamber of Peers, communi cated the discussion relative to the proposal to give more extensive authority to the Executive Government during the present crisis. The Order of the Day, was the fourth discussion of the new tar. =, proposed to pay the interest of the proposed loan. CHAMBER OF PEERS, DEC. 16. The Marquis de Vagos made a very long speech on the state of the army, in which he spoke at great length against the Marquis de Chaves, painting his ingratitude to the late King, who had conferred the greatest honours upon him, in return for which he now opposes the last will of his benefactor, and rebels against his son, the lawful heir to the Throne of Portugal, and the Government which is recognised by all the great European Powers. If, said he, the Rebels should succeed in esta blishing a Government, de facto, in Portugal, a Government not recognised by all Europe, the Foreign Ambassadors would leave Lisbon and England as guarantees of the integrity of the Portuguese Monarchy, and Don Pedro, as King of Por tugal, would take possession of our Islands, to preserve them in obedience to their Sovereign. Lisbon end Oporto would be blockaded, anarchy would prevail through the whole kingdom, and the greatest disorder would desolate ❑nhappy Portugal, in the hands of these assassins of their own country. The plan pro posed fo: the recruiting of the army, was formally approved by 19 votes to lb. (Supplement to the Gazette of Lisbon, of Sunday, the 94th of December, 1826.) (OFFICIAL.)—WAR DEPARTMENT. At the Secretary of State's Office of the War Department, the Ith December, 1626.

(Signed) THE MARQUIS DE VALENZA. (A true Copy of the original.) The Chief of the first Division. PINTO. The following was posted at Lloyd's this morning : BuRNOS AIRES, OCT. 24..—The Brasilian squadron continues to cruize in sight of this city, and allow no vessels, except packets, to pass. A large privateer boat, manned by Europeans, chiefly English, sailed from this about a fortnight ago, and she is supposed to have gone out of the river; a boat of this description is noticed in a former communication as being lost near Cape St. Antonio. Oroaro, Dec. 19, 1826.—0ur prospects of security are im proved since the Rebels have been defeated in their attempt on the forces of Arnarante. The brig of war which is off the Bar from Lisbon (the RtyPard) is also coming in, which will afford pro tection to the shipping, money, tae.., if necessary to remove it; and if England sends troops, we hope they will soon appear, when all will no doubt be quiet. This morning the last sentence of the law was carried into execution upon two unhappy individuals who have forfeited their lives by their crimes. The efficacy of the punishment of death in deterring others from the perpe tration of similar enormities has been much questioned— hut it is hardly possible to form any correct judgment on the point, inasmuch as its operation is silent, and only called into action at the moment when the mind, pressed by want, or urged by passion, first conceives the idea of committing a crime as the readiest means of removing the one or gratifying the other. Want and passion are the two grand incentives to crime ; and whilst such powerful stimu lants exist, who can say where their operation shall cease, or how far they are checked by the wholesome terror which thepunishment of previous criminals is calculated to inspire? That this terror has some operation, is, we suppose, not denied ; but no conclusion as to the extent of that opera tion can be drawn from the repeated executions that have followed the perpetration of the same crime. The utmost that such facts show, is simply that instances are daily oc curring, where the incentive to crime was stronger than the fear of punishment, which can be of no avail, unless accompanied with a statement of the instances where the fear of punishment was more powerful than the incentive to crime. However this question may be determined, the Criminal Law of this country seems unnecessarily severe. It visits a great variety of crimes with capital punishment, and that too, apparently without reference to the nature of the offence, or the degree of moral guilt attached to it ; and indeed, with so little judgment and discrimination has it been annexed, that the Legislature appear to have been actuated rather by vindictive motives than any real desire to prevent the perpetration of the crimes against which their acts are directed. That there is all the dif ference in the world between crimes founded upon frauds and crimes founded upon malice, no one will doubt. The degree of moral guilt is altogether deeper, much deeper in the latter, than in the former case, and ought therefore, as it seems to us, to be followed by a punishment propor tionably severe. For although in cases of crimes of suffi cient magnitude, we might be induced to admit. that the offender, if actuated by malice, is not fit to live, still, if he had been actuated by fraud alone, it would be quite im possible to arrive at suckeonelusion. Murder and forgery, by the law of England, are both punished by death ; yet, one is the offspring of malice, and the other of fraud; the one flows from a de sire of revenge and an implacable hatred : the other from fraud and dishonesty alone. How different the mo tives ; how different the shade of guilt ; and, therefore, how different ought the punishment to be ! The fraud, by this law, is enhanced to a erne, on an eqality with murder, and thus the deep and atroci6as guilt of murder is in a degree palliated by being associated with fraud ; for otherwise no right-feeling man can ever regard the mur derer and the forger as equally criminal, or with the same feelings of horror and disgust ; a point at which he must arrive ere he can justify the infliction of the same punish ment on the perpetrators of these two offences. It would be endless to multiply the instances of this confusion of crimes to be found in the crimi nal law of England. What has already been said is sufficient to illustrate the principle, and point out the ab solute necessity of measuring the punishment of a crime by the degree of moral guilt incurred by its perpetration, and of making a grand and never-failing distinction between crimes resulting from malice r.,nl crimes built on fraud. The exertions of the Home Secretary have in some degree redeemed the character of the English law, and we begin again, under his auspices, to return to that mild and con genial spirit that marked the institutions of our earliest ancestors, and which still prevails through every branch of the Common Law. We trust, the Right Honourable Gentleman will pursue his labours, and consummate that pious and noble work he has auspiciously begun, and thus reap the full reward which is due to that man who achieves this honourable, this arduous undertaking. Brussels Papers of the 30th December; and the Al!ganef's,' Zeitang of the 26th, have been received this morning, but they posses, littl. interest. It is said that the Poems intends putting gar risons of the new troops into all the fortresses of the Archipelago for greater security. The King of PRUSSIA goes on favourably. The CAPITAN PACHA was still in the Dardanelles, and it was not known whether he would winter there or return to Conitan tinople. Accounts from Candia say, that a fire bruke out in that city in the night of the 9th of October, which destroyed 45 magazines and several houses ; among which is the French Consulate. These accounts give st - gkosennsiciterrtsfiftio state - of the island under the oppressive Government of LUTFULLAII lENNA, Dic. 21.—Metalliques, BSi; Bank Shares, 1071. The melancholy situation of his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK still engrosses the public attention. There is one class of persons, however, who are naturally more affected by it—we mean the army. There is an evident gloom on their countenances as they seem to anticipate the loss of their best friend. Even the Duke of WELLING TON, with all his splendid military fame, would, at first, find some difficulty in supplying the place which His Royal Highness has long occupied in the esteem and warm af fection of the British Army. We understand that Field Marshal the Earl of Harcourt, G.C.8., now Governor of Portsmouth, is to be Governor of Plymouth, vice the Duke of Wellington ; eud General Sir Wm. Keppel, G.C.B. succeeds Lord Harcourt in the Government of Portsmouth. THE DUKE OF YORK. ITALY' PAST TWO O'CLOCK, THIS DAV. On inquiry at the Duke of IttITAND'S, we learn that his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK had passed a quiet night, but was no better, though he has less pain. THREE O'CLOCK We have just heard that His Royal Highness continues the same. The mortification was gradually approaching the vital parts. His Royal Highness, however, still speaks strong, and drank this morning a glass of milk and nutmeg. THE FUNDS. CITY, (Tilts DAY), Taylre o' Cluck. The British Funds have this morning evinced a very variable and uneasy state ; Consols closed yesterday afternoon at 81i and openc-d, at the commencement of business, at 80i- ; they continued at this price but a few momenta, and were afterwards done at 80i ; they have since been quoted at Soi, alternately buyers and sellers. Those who pretend to see further than their neighbours in the City have discovered several causes for prophecy ing an interruption of our amicable relation with the United States, and that we are not likely to continue for ally length of time on a peaceable footing with that Government ; they ground their opinions on the lengthy speech of the President, received per the Silas Richards, packet ship, arrived at Liverpool, to which we must refer our readers, observing that the Colonial and boundary lines seem to be the principal questions of importance. India Bonds are quoted at the same price as yesterday, beipg 38 40 ; and Exchequer Bills, IS 19 pm. The few transactions that have taken place in the Foreign Funds hare been done at the follow ing prices :—Colombian Bonds at 35 § ; Mexican 6 per Cents., ex. dir., at 65i 6 ; Greek, Iti 15, ex. div. ; Spanish, IS ; and Portuguese, 72 4. In Shares there is nothing particular to notice, but the sanguine expectation entt . ned by the speculators that an advance is likely to take place ; Mad certainly prices are, in some of them, looking well, although not quite ao high as yesterday.

THE DUKE OF YORK.—At six o'clock this morn ing we made inquiries at the residence of the Duke of Rutland, re specting the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, and were informed that not the slightest favourable change had taken place ; but that, on the contrary, his Royal Highness is consider ably worse. The mortification which has taken place in his leg has increased, and advanced towards the stomach. His Royal Highness yesterday conversed with the Dukes of Clarence and Sussex, and the Princess Sophia; but we are informed that after twelve o'clock last night his Royal Highness was deprived of the power of speech. His Royal Highness enjoyed but little sleep during the night. —Morning Paper. The KING has not visited the Duke of York since Friday, when he is said to have taken an affectionate leave of him. The only sustenance his Royal Highness has recently taken, in ad dition to the soothing medicines which have been administered, has been a little mulled claret. So intense is the public interest felt about the state of the Royal Duke's health, by all classes, that yesterday afternoon there could not have been less than 5,000 persons waiting in the neighbourhood of Arlington-street, and expressing the utmost so licitude to learn the real state of his Royal Highness's health. As we anticipated, and stated in our Journal months back, his MaJzsTr has conferred the Order of the Garter on his Grace the Duke of Devonshire. This gracious mark of condes cension and Royal favour was communicated to the Noble Duke, in an autograph letter from the KING. A report was yesterday current in the political cir cles, that the Duke of Sussex will succeed the Duke of Cambridge in the government of Hanover. Mrs. Canning left town yesterday for Brighton. Mr. Secretary Canning .was expected at the.seat of the Earl of Liverpool, at Coowb Wood, yesterday afternoon, to dine with his Lordship. Earl Bathurst transacted business yesterday with Mr. Secretary Canning. Mr. Under Secretary llay left town on Saturday, on a visit to the Marquis of Stafford, at his residence, near Wandsworth. Mr. Wilmot Horton left town on Friday, for the seat of his father, Sir Robert Horton, in Derbyshire. Mr. Littlewood, the King's messenger, arrived at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs yesterday morning, from Brussels, with despatches from Sir Charles Bagot, our Ambassador at the Netherlands, to Mr. Secretary Canning. Gieat preparations were made for a brilliant Ball, given lut night, at the Town Hall, in Derby, to celebrate the An niversary of a new year. The Duke of Devonshire and all the neighbouring Nobility and Gentry were present. The Duke of Devonshire proceeds from Derby to Hardwieke, and thence to Chatsworth, where he will keep Twelfth Night. The Marquis of Salisbury will have a party on Twelfth Night in Hatfield House. Captain Black, commander of the steam-boat George the Fourth, arrived at the Foreign-office, in a post-chaise, at ten o'clock yesterday morning, bringing despatches direct from Lisbon from Sir William A'Court, our Minister at Lisbon. Advices were received at . the Admiralty yesterday, of the arrival of another vessel from Lisbon. Yesterday Count Lottum, Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the King of Prussia to his Britannic Majesty, jointly with Mr. N. M. Rothschild, in the presence of Mr. Charles Green, Notary Public, cancelled and deposited in the Bank of England the sum of 20,9001. in Special Bonds of the Prussian Loan of 1822, being one moiety of the sum fixed far the redemp tion of Bonds in the fourth year, and also the saving on the inte rest of the 132,3501. redeemed to the let July last inclusive.

SPI:RZHEIXI'S VISIT TO CAMBRIDGE.--This dis tinguished Craneologist has been received at Cambridge in a way that every liberal thinker might have anticipated. His health was drunk in bumpers by the heads of the Colleges, and a dis tinguished place was assigned to him in Golyolta. SOLICITOR TO THE MlNT.—This important Si tuation which became vacant by the death of Mr. Chippendale, has been filled by the appointment of Mr. Blunt, of Liverpool street, Bishopsgate. The emoluments of the office are estimated at from 1,0001. to 1,500/. EXECUTION THIS MORNING. Charles Thomas White, aged gS, who had been convicted of arson, and Amelia Roberts, aged 81, of stealing in a dwelling house, expiated their crimes this morning, on the scaffold at the Old Bailey, before an immense concourse of spectators. Ever since his Majesty's fiat, respecting these unfortunate culprits was announced, White ceased to entertain any hopes of a reprieve, and expressed himself perfectly resigned to his fate. But his demea nour this morning, evinced but little signs of contrition—little sense of his awful state. It rather implied that there was more of affectation than sincerity in his resignation. On his introduction to the Press-room, whi.re the Sheriffs were in waiting, previous to the fatal moment, be walked us with an air of indifference and good humor, waving a bandana hand kerchief in his hand. He was dressed in black, and appeared much better, and less dismal by far than he did at his trial. The Sheriiii, Winchester and Farebrother, shook hands with him on his entrance. He then made a request that his arms should not be pinioned, but this they told him could not be dispensed with, whereupon he requested to have his arms tied with his handker chief instead of a cord, to which the Sheriffs very kindly con sented. While his hands were tying he conversed very freely with Mr. Cotton and the Sheriffs ; he sometimes even laughed aloud. Being naked how he rested during the night, he replied " Very well, indeed ; I slept three hours." He then spoke of the sufferings of his unhappy mother, and sometimes indulged in pious ejaculations, at the solicitation of Mr. Cotton, but he mani fested no real indications of penitence. When his hands were tied, Mr. Cotton observed that his handkerchief was too short to pinion his arms, then, said he, let another be tied to it.—" Yes, (said the Chaplain,) " there is one on your neck, that will do." (lie wore a black neckhandkerchief.) Ile then sobbed like a child, and reclined his head on Sheriff Winchester's arms, who exhorted him not to surrender his firmness. "My request, (said he) was so trifling, that it ought to be complied with." His arms were then hound with a cord outside the hanclkerchief, and he walked to the scaffold, accompanied by Mr. Cotton, praying all along. On mounting the platform, he surveyed all around him, but did not appear to recognize any one in the crowd. Amelia Roberts was not introduced into the press-room, but conducted from the cell into the room which leads to the scaffold, where she was pinioned. After White had ascended the scaffold, she appear ed quite exhausted, perfectly resigned, and truly penitent. A melancholy smile sometimes beamed in her countenance. Her conduct and appearance in every respect became her awful state. As she was about to ascend the scaffold, she bowed respectfully to those who stood near her. After the rope had been adjusted round White's neck, and the cap drawn over his face, he made an effort to unpinion his arms, and succeeded in taking the cap off his head with his hands—this was followed by a tremendous yell from the crowd. His neckcloth was then tied round hi s eyes, and his arms again pinioned with a rope. Both the cul prits being adjusted, the fatal signal was given, and as the platform was falling White made a violent effort to catch a hold of the rope--he drew off the cap a second time, and in swing ing was very near having his feet entangled in the sides of the platform. This elicited a hideous yell from the crowd, who witnessed the writhings of his face, which now remained exposed ; his tongue was out, and pressed between his teeth, his feature, were distorted, and his appearance altogether manifested extrem e agony, the executioner pulled him by the feet, and in a few minutes put an end to his sufferings. The cap was then put on his face. The conduct of White throughout was that of a bravado, who wished to excite the commiseration of the populace by some means or another. The female, Roberts, struggled for a short time. After suspending for the usual time, their bodies were eel k down and given to their friends for interment. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Half-past Four o'clock. THE FIGHT THIS DAY, BETWEEN WARD AND PETER CRAWLEY, FOB THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENGLAND. BY EXPRESS. Ward is allowed to be the finest fighter in England. The rapidity of his movements give amazing advantage fOr the display of his inimitably fine science. His figure is ad mirably calculated for exertion, his height being about five feet nine inches, \veil made, stout, and singularly active. He will jump backwards, if occasion require, to avoid a blow, with as much facility, and farther than many men can spring forward. His fights with Sampson, and his late great fight with Cannon, are well known. On taking the Champion's belt, many competitors sprung up in bra vado, but none in arms sufficiently hardy to dispute his well-earned honours. At length Peter Crawley got backed against him, but the betting still proved the high opinion entertained of Ward's superior science and true game. Crawley is a giant compared to Ward, being upwards of six feet two inches, and he bears the reputation of being an excellent fighter, which, in addition to his size and strength, render him a formidable antagonist. Ward's decided advantage lies in the dexterous use of both hands, left and right are all one to Jem, who is• celebrated for his masterpiece of one, two, three, and knock him down. In fact, so quick is his eye, and so rapid the movement of his hands, that he can often hit three times while another hits once. Betting has been all along from 5,6, and 7to on Ward. Owing to the hard day's sun the Fancy had on the day of the last fight, great precaution was taken on the present oecasion, to insure a spot of ground where interruption was not likely to take place, and in, order to make things secure, and, if possible, to foi3 the endeavours of any Magistrate to put a stop to the fight, twe places were appointed, the one was Royston Common, abont hirty-nine miles from town, and the other at Eaton Grange, the seat of Sir Peter Soames, which is situated about forty-one mile* from town, and four from Royston, which is most admirably sit , tuated for a fight, beicg surrounded by hills. The ring was made in the valley; and never, perhaps, had the epee-Woes a better opportunity of witnessing the sight. At the different sporting houses in town, the order was given for the fancy, to make for Wade's Mill, and to prepare fur a heavy day's drag, numbers were on the road at an early hour yesterday, and towards the close of the day the toad presented an animated scene, and London seemed busy in turning out from her smoky regions, Lords, gentlemen, tag, rag, and bobtail, Sic. tee. forming when taken as a body, the life and soul of a prize-fight ; the vehicles called into requisition were ludicrous in the extreme, but that did not seem any consideration, " 'What matter's the ve hicle, so long as the horse is a good one," appeared to be the ge neral cry, however, very many of the fancy, to their sorrow, found that their " tits" were not so desirous of seeing the fight as the rider, and rested at the end of a few miles. Royston was the place of rendezvous for the tip top patrons- of the ring, and Ward was there. He made the Red Lion Inn his head-quarters, and Crawley and his friends stopped at a road side house, about two miles from Royston. This morning the backers of Ward freely bet seven to four, and Crawley's friends had no objection to take 2 to I. At a quarter past twelve o'clock, the order was given for mov. ing to Royston Heath. Towards the evening considerable doubts *ere entertained as to whether or not the fight would take place, as it was the determi nation of the Fancy in case of the demise of his Royal Highness the Duke of York that no fight should take place. Josh Hudson and Tom Oliver officiated for Ward ; Harry Harmer Tom Belcher for Crawley. All preliminaries being adjusted Jem Ward entered the ring et one o'Clock ; he had a smile on his countenance, and teemed self confident of sums, ; 101. to 51. was offered, but no takers. Crawley shortly after entered the ring, leaning on the arm of Tom Belcher ; he appeared to be in most excellent condition, and declared that he intended to do his best. Tom Iteleheqed Craw ley below a canopy to stake. Ward's colour/ blue with whits spots, was immediately placed over it. Umpires and referees being chosen, the men came to the scratch at twelve minutes past one o'clock. While the arrangements were making at Royston Heath, an other ring was formed at Eaton Grange, where numbers were c ollected, and thousands thus disappointed, certainly to the dis grace of those who had imposed on the fancy. Crawley won the toss for choice of rounds. ROUNDS. 1. Crawley made first play.
