VHF CASE OF JOHN MOUNTFCIItp.—It will be t eeolle, •tcd tlifft Jphn Mountford was corkyieted, at the last Stafford Assizes, of sending a box loaded with gunpowder and hard peas to Mr. Ladd, of the Bristol-road, with the atrocious intent of destroying him, and probably his family. Sen tence, however, was not passed at the time, Mr. Justice Wil liams wishing to take the opinion of the Judges whether the tin box, so loaded, came within the meaning of the Act under which the prisoner was tried, which referred to " loaded arms." The question has at length been decided, thirteen of the Judges having taken this important point into considera tion ; six were of opinion that the " infernal machine" came within the meaning of the Act, and seven that it did not; thus, by a majority of one, has Mountford's life been spared. EXTRAORDINARY -AFFAIR:— The Brighton Guardian gives an account of a curious riot, which ended in a lawyer being put into the black hole. It appears that a gentleman, whose name is Methold, residing at the west end of Worthing, some time ago separated from his wife, since which time the lady has been residing at Brighton and other places Oa Thursday last she arrived in Worthing, at tended by a French female servant, and a gentleman who represented himself as her solicitor. No movement was made till Saturday at noon, when the servant contrived by some stratagem to effect an entrance into Mr. Methold's house ; and after a struggle with the females of his establishment, she succeeded in admitting her mistress. By this time a consi derable number of persons were congregated - round the house. Mrs. Methold took possession of the front sitting room up stairs, and was there attended by her female servant, and occasionally appeared on the balcony addressing the as sembled people in the street. The servant was afterwards ejected. The lady herself called for assistance, and her lawyer came to her aid by means of a ladder. A regular battle ensued. The assailants, who were very numerous, were at length repulsed, and the project of regaining pos session was abandoned. MURDEROUS ATTEMPT.—The village of Ban stead has been recently thrown into a state of considerable alarm and excitement, in consequence of a diabolical attempt to destroy the life of a young female, by hanging her, under the following most extraordinary circumstances —lt appeared that a few days since a young woman, in the service of a gentleman named Morgan, who resides at Banstead, while en gaged at night in the lower part of the house, overheard some men talking, and, frem what they said, it was evident their in tention was to rob the house. She immediately gave an alarm, and, in consequence, the men were compelled to decamp. A night or two afterwards the female in question had occasion to leave the house, for the purpose of letting out the charwo man ; and, on her not returning in a reasonable time, Mr. Morgan became alarmed, and proceeded to search for her. He bad not proceeded far before he observed something hang ing from a tree, and, on going close to it, ,his horror and sur prise may be easily conceived, when he discovered that it was the body of his unfortunate maid, suspended by the neck, her arms pinioned behind her, and apparently quite dead. He immediately cut her down, and a surgeon was sent for, who, after some time, succeeded in restoring animation. On being questioned, she stated that as she was returning towards the house two men rushed upon her. They declared they would murder her for alarming her master on the previous evening, and one of them said that they would cut her throat. The other, however, said that she should be hanged. She was so overcome with terror and affright that she was unable to give any alarm, and they proceeded to pinion her arms, place a rope round her neck, and they then dragged her up to the tree. The most rigid inquiries have been made to discover the per petrators of this diabolical attack, but hitherto without success. THE WEATHER.—EXTRAORDINARY HIGH TlDE.—During the whole of Wednesday night, part of the previous day, and Friday, it blew a complete hurricane from the north-east, with occasional showers of rain, hail, and snow. Friday morning, about five o'clock, after one of the most boisterous nights ever experienced, and violent squalls, the rain fell heavily, and the wind moderated. The calm, however, was of short duration. When the rain had ceased, gusts of wind succeeded. The storm, as might be oxpected from its violence, has done great mischief, particularly on the river, where numerous tiers of shipping have broken from their moorings, and numbers of barges and boats have been swamped. Some of the steamers and many of the vessels homeward bound had not arrived as was expected on Friday; and it is feared that the hurricane has caused the loss of many ships on the coast. The river presented the appearance of a rough sea, and a small boat could scarcely live in it. In the after noon the tide rose to an extraordinary height; and half an hour before high water the banks of the Thames were over flowed on both shores, the waters rushing into the ground floors and cellars, committing sad havoc with property of all descriptions. Bankside was under water more than an hour from St. Saviour's-creek to Holland-street, Blackfriars, and flowed down the narrow streets and lanes leading to the inte rior of Southwark. The dwellings of many indigent indivi duals in the neighbourhood and in the lower parts of Black wall, Westminster, Shadwell, and Wapping have been inun dated. Friday a boat was capsized in Limehouse-reach by the violence of the wind. There were two or three per sons in it, who perished. In the suburbs of the metropolis great injury has been done to the young trees and plantations by the hurricane; numerous out houses and unfinished dwel lings have been blown down, and the largest trees have been torn up by the roots. We have not experienced such a tre mendous gale for many years. BREACH IN THE BANKS OF THE GREAT RIVER OUZE, NEAT; LYNN, NORFOLK.—The utmost conster- nation prevails in the neighbourhood of Lynn, in consequence of a breach in the eastern bank of the great river Ouze, which conveys the highland waters of the counties of Huntingdon, Cambridge, Bedford, and Buckingham, as well as the waters of the Bedford Level, to sea, by the port of Lynn. This fright ful catastrophe was occasioned by the late violent gale, accorn- pilled by an unusually high tide. The breach is situate in the parish of Magdalen ; it took place early on Thursday morning, and has excited the most serious apprehensions, the safety of many thousand acres of fertile land being dependent upon the security of the banks of this river. The reports are at present so various as to extent and injury that little depen dence can be placed upon them ; but we are assured that at four o'clock P. ,on Thursday last, the extent of the breach through which the water was then rushinr , was not less than 140 yards. In some parts of the bank what are called slips have taken place, which is the top only of the bank giving way, and the water runninc , over into the adjoining lands ; but in other parts the bank itself is supposed to be washed away to the bottom of the river. It has been difficult as yet to obtain accurate information, particularly at so early a period after this calamitous event. A meeting of the Ouze Bank Commissioners was sitting at Watlington when our informant wrote, at which place the water was several feet deep. The tide rose nearly three feet higher than at the time of the late March gale. It has partially overflowed the banks near to Denver Sluice, par ticularly into Mr. Gamble's farm, a great part of which is in undated. The flood also reached the-top of the new bank below the sluice. From a slight variation in the wind, the water was rot so high last night, and great hopes are entertained that the flood will be prevented coming up higher than a spot called Bell's Bank. The result of the meeting of the Commissioners was not known when this account was sent off express, but the latest intelligence was, that a strong current of water from the gull or breach in the bank was then running across the turn pike-road at a place called Setch, between Lynn and Down ham Market, in the direction of Wormgay. The greatest con sternation prevailed in the neighbourhood. The state of these banks has been for some time the source of litigation in the Courts of Westminster-hall, and is likely to be the subject of investigation. A voluntary church meeting was held at Ecclefechan on the evening of the 26th ult., The Rev. James Harkness in the chair. The church was crowded, and the greatest deco rum prevailed ; and, though numbers were present from a great ?istance, they waited with .patience to the very conclusion. The hissing serpent was not present, or for the time being he was completely muzzled, or awed into absolute silence, as his voice was never once heard. The Rev. Mr. M‘Gill of Rigg prayed, and the meeting broke up at 10 o'clock. This is the first voluntary church meeting which has been held in Annan dale, and from the deep interest it excited, and the beneficial effects which may be expected to follow, it is to be hoped that ail the Dissenters will see it their duty to hold such meetings, and instruct the people in that all-engrossing question, the separation of Church and State—a separation which, for the sake of conferring equal right and privileges upon all, and par ticularly for the advancement of Christ's kingdom upon the earth, it is to be earnestly desired, may speedily take place.— Dumfries Times.

" We are deeply sensible, in common with the rest of your Majesty's subjects, of the great and beneficial mea sures for reform and amendment of our national institu tutions which have been achieved under your Majesty's auspices, and which must ever render your reign one of the most illustrious and memorable in the annals of this em pire ; but we feel especially called on at this time to pre sent our tribute of gratitude for the late wise and salutary law for regulating Municipal Corporations in England ; which we believe to be eminently calculated not only to remove the abuses which had grown up in them, but to render these bodies highly useful and efficient instruments of local Government. " But while we rejoice in the improvement which have already been effected, we know that, to satisfy the just hopes and expectations of your Majesty's people, much re mains to be done. We, therefore; humbly offer to your Majesty the expression of our entire confidence in the pre sent enlightened and upright advisors of the Crown, whose measures have hitherto successfully maintained and pro. moted the peace, honour, and prosperity of the country, and whose continuance in office furnishes the best security for those further improvements which are required by the advanced state of society, and are essential to the tran quillity and welfare of your Majesty's dominions. . . .

This letter—which we are reluctantly compelled to omit this day—produced a set of resolutions, unique in their kind, which we are also compelled to postpone—by which the Society, in , effect, refuse to entertain the proposition until next month : acknowledging, almost in words, at the same time, that they are an Orange Club.

STEEPLE CHASES. On Sunday last, immediately after the troops at New castle, in this county, went to church, at 12 o'clock, a sud den and unexpected order arrived from Limerick to the commanding officer of the detachment of the 94th Regi ment, quartered there, to proceed to Rathkeale with as little delay as possible ; accordingly, the troops were ordered out of the church, and in less than half an hour Captain Pipon, and the troops under his command, in heavy march ing order, proceeded to Rathkeale, in double quick time, where they remained under arms until six o'clock, P.M. The cause of this sudden route was a large assemblage of persons who were expected to hold an anti-tithe meeting in the neighbourhood of Croom.—Liiner•ick Chronicle.

THE JERSEY TRAGEDY. TRIAL OF MARIN. On the 15th inst., Marin, accused of the murder of Miss Bethell, was put on his trial. The anxiety of the public was intense. On opening the doors of the Court, a simul taneous rush was made, and every place instantly occupied. A Petty Jury, which sat from twelve o'clock until seven, hearing evidence, returned a verdict of Guilty on the fol lowing accusation :—" Louis Marin, otherwise Louis An toine Marin, taken in the fact, and presented to justice by the constable of the parish of St. Saviour, has been accused by the King's Attorney-General, in consequence of the re port of the constable of the parish of St. Saviour, of having rendered himself guilty of the crime of murder on the per son of Miis Mary Anne Bethell, by aiding, assisting, and encouraging the said Mary Anne Bethell to poison herself ; by procuring, poison for her, preparing it for her, giving, and causing her to take it ; from the effect of which poison the said Mary Anne Bothell died on Monday, the 16th of No vember, 1835, or about that time—the said Marin being present, consenting to, and participating in the poisoning, which caused the death of the said Mary Anne Bethell." According to the laws of the Island, a Grand Jury can be demanded by the prisoner. This privilege was de manded on behalf of the prisoner by his counsel, and a Grand Jury met on Thursday last. As on Monday, so likewise now the most intense anxiety was observed in the neighbourhood of the Royal Square, and in all those places through which the prisoner had to pass on his way to trial. The pikes of the halberdiers were seen lifting them selves above the crowd. The prisoner at this crisis of his fate, walked between the two leading halberdiers, with a quick but uncertain pace. He was greatly altered since his first trial, his face being pale, his eye fixed and glassy, and his whole appearance betraying great and evident men tal anxiety ; on taking, however, his seat, his countenance somewhat cleared up. After a trial which occupied the Court for nearly twelve hours, the following verdict was returned by the Grand Jury :—" Mary Ann Bethel having formed and declared her resolution to destroy herself, and having of herielf be gun to put that, resolution into effect, by taking laudanum from a drawer belonging to Mrs. Barber, the Jury is un animously of opinion that the prisoner is guilty of homicide on the person of the said Mary Ann Bethel, under aggra vated circumstances." The prisoner's Counsel said, that from the lateness of the hour, be would beg the Court to adjourn their sitting to some other day, to allow him to search the rolls of the Court, in order to lay before the Court the degree of punishment to be inflicted on the prisoner. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that the prisoner's Counsel having declared that he was not prepared to pro ceed, he had no objection to comply with his request. Sir JOHN DE VEULLE consulted the Court, and ad journed till Monday next, at eleven o'clock, when Marin is to be brought up to receive sentence. The prisoner during the whole of his trial preserved a quiet and patient demeanour ; his countenance was pale, but he appeared perfectly self-possessed, paying evident attention to what wasp passing —at certain parts of the pro ceedings he appeared to feel much, but there was no ap pearance of display in his emotion : at the close of the trial some refreshment was offered to him, which, however, he declined, with thanks. It is not yet understood what punishment will be awarded to him.—Abridged from the Jersey Press. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS. The King's Stag Hounds meet on Friday at Thorpe—half-past 11.

(From the Gazette des Tribunaux and Galiananh afternoon edition of Friday.) This morning, at ten minutes past eight o'clock, the awful sentence of the law was carried into effect upon Fieschi and his accomplices. Up to the last moment a be lief prevailed that th e ca pit a l p ena lty wou ld b e com muted, irfar as regarded Pepin and Morey, - but at a quarter-past seven o'clock, it became evident to the public, in the im mediate vicinity of the scene of death, that no mercy could be extended to any of the convicts, as at that hour the dreadful preparations for the execution commenced. At six o'clock this morning, Pepin called for some re freshment, and be very quietly ate the wing of a fowl. Fieschi would not eat any thing. He only asked for a glass of liqueur. " Something strong," said he, " but not brandy, because I do not like that." At seven o'clock the executioner, accompanied by nine of his assistants, arrived at the prison of the Luxembourg, and exhibited to the Governor the order for the execution. He was immediately conducted to the Hall where the prepara tions were to be made. This Hall, which is rather exten sive, leads from the Register Office to the prison. The executioner caused a bench to be placed between two of the pillars of the Hall ; behind it were immediately sta tioned three gendarmes, with sabres drawn, and opposite, next to the wall, were paced three chairs. Fieschi came out first, attended by his keepers. He wore blue pantaloons and a waistcoat of woollen stuff. His head was covered with a black silk cap. He came forward with a careless air, holding his head high, and casting his eyes on every object around him, and he took his seat on the bench, as he was told, without saying a word. Three of the exe cutioner's assistants then came up to him and asked him if he had not a frock-coat. " What_ need should I have for one ?" said he. " Because it is cold," was the reply. "Oh ! I shall not feel it long ; but yet I•think you are right ; pray let my coat be fetched." When his hands were about to be tied be hind his back, he requested that they should not be tied very tight. Several times during the operation be exclaimed, "It is too tight, you hurt me ; lavish to have my movements free." One of the assistant executioners slacked the cord, and was proceeding to tie his legs, when Fieschi said, " Well, this very night I dreamt that you were tying my legs." While these sad preparations were going on, Fieschi conti nued talking with great volubility, addressing himself to every person around him whom he had known in the prison. "Is that you, Prussian ?" said he to one of the keepers; "and you, young one?" addressing another, " you who was my friend, you come here to see me tied up in this way ? go, go away ; all the others who arc here are doing their duty, but you have none to perform here, therefore go." He then held his head down for a moment, and appeared to be thinking ; then, assuming a solemn air, he said, " Why was I not killed in Russia, instead of coming to have my head cut off in my own country? But I declare to you all who are here present, that I have done service to my country by stating the truth ; I do not repent having done so, and I ought to serve as an example on thestscaffold." ,The preparations being completed, Fieschi stood up and, spoke thus :—" Gentlemen, I request you will bear wit ness that I have bequeathed my head to M. Lavocat. I have done so in writing, and I suppose the law allows that my will be respected. Where is the man whose business it will be to pick up my head ? I tell him it shall not be his, but M. Lavocat's. /es, my head belongs to M. Lavocat, my soul to God, and my body to the earth. Now, let the others be brought forth ; let them be placed before me ; I want to see them ; this is my day of festivity." The executioner took hold of his arm, and assisted him to one of the three chairs placed against the wall. At this moment the chaplain of the Luxembourg, the Abbe Gri vel, made his appearance, when Fieschi immediately made a sign to him to approach, which the chaplain did, with tears in his eyes ; on observing which, Fieschi said, " Why do you weep ? Must it be . me who is to give you courage ? Come, come, let this cease ; I 'am happier than you are ; I die with a tranquil conscience, and without' any fear." The Abbe assured him he was confident that he did so, requested him to remain calm, an4.fix his thoughts on God alone, and presented to him the crucifix, which Fieschi kissed with eagerness. Morey was brought forward next, supporting by two of the keepers. He was dressed as at the audiences, with a brown great-coat and a black silk cap : his attitude was, as usual, calm and resigned. He sat or rather dropped down on the seat, and underwent all the preparation without pronouncing a single word. Now and then he raised an indifferent look on those who surrounded him. This silence and immobillity formed a striking contrast with Fieschi, who was placed opposite Mor e y, a d did not cease talking. After a moment's silence, Fieschi rose, apparently to speak. The executioner invited him to sit down— " What !" said he, sharply, " can't I stand up ?"—" Sit down, if you please."—" Well, then, I shall stand up." Fieschi then raised his voice, and exclaimed with impatience, " Where is M. Lavocat ? What IM. Lavocat won't come He has not then been told that I wished to see him. . . • . He shall come ;-. . . yes, if M. Lavocat does not come, I shall die damned." On the utterance of this expression, the Abbe Grivel, placing his hands on Fieschi's mouth, said with mildness, " Oh, my Friend, what a word ! hold your tongue. I have written to M. Lavocat." Fieschi appeared to become more calm, but he repeated several times his regret at the absence of M. Lavocat, and asked after him frequently. During the preparations that Mercy was undergoing in silence, a man was seen close to the pillar, in a gray great coat, with a fur cap on his head, smoking his pipe. He appeared to be looking on as an indifferent spectator, and addressed a few words to his neighbours on the - details of this ceremony. This man was Pepin. On being called by the executioner he'placed himself on the side of Morey, took off his coat and neckcloth, which he gave up to a keeper, saying, " Give these things to the Director ;" and while his hands were being tied he conti nued smoking his pipe. His face did not. show the least emotion ; his voice was not altered—be spoke very little. But, when the collar of his shirt was cut off, he turned to- wards Morey, and said, with . a calm voice, " Well, my old Morey, it appears that we are going together into the other world !" Morey replied—" A little sooner or later, what does it matter ?" A moment after Pepin cast his eyes on Fieschi. " Well, Ficschi," said he, smiling, " you are pleased, you are now opposite your friend (checking him self)—l mean your victim." Fieschi attempted to reply, but was prevented by the Abbe Grivel. At a quarter past seven o'clock the preparations were finished. The condemned got up to bo led to the fatal vehicle. Pepin, who continued smoking his pipe, said— " Gentlemen, the crime of Fieschi is confined to him alone. There is no other guilty man here besides himself." " I have done my duty," observed Fieschi, " and all I regret is not to have had forty days more to live, in order to write a great number of things that remained to be told." The three convicts were then led out of the hall, and taken through the garden to one of the furthest gates, where three vehicles were standing to receive and conduct them to the place of execution. Fieschi walked first, and did not cease talking to those who were around him. Pepin came next, with his pipe in his mouth. Morey was last, hardly able to drag himself along, and assisted b 3 ' two executioner's men, who held him under the arms, to whom he more than once said, " Do not leave hold of me, for I should instantly roll like a bundle." " Come, keep up your courage," said one of the attendants to him. " Moray, " I want none of that ; it is hat I am in %milt of." Each of the convicts was placed Ml. to vehicle, with a confessor and two gendarmes. -1' .1 • • •rs of the three vehicles were left open. Attended by party of gen- armes and Municipal Guards o n horseback, the procession .arced from the Luxembourg at halfpast seven for*the place f execution. The melancholy cortege took the way of the Bonk- Lrds , to the place of execution. A great display of the •med force had been deemed necessary by the Govern- Lent. Thom were 6,200 under arms, not including the numerous agents of the police, who were stationed so as to prevent the curious from traversing the road through which the cortege was to pass. On every tree of the Boulevards, and gardens adjacent, com manding a view of them there were perched from 10 to 15 persons. The dead walls along the Boulevards were also crowned with crowds. We think it would be falling short of the number to estimate at 25,000 that of the curious who had taken their station from the extremity of the Luxembourg garden to that part of the Boulevard which adjoins the place of execution. The crowd would have been still more considerable, had not the precaution been taken of closing the external barriers. A few moments before the arrival of the cortege, the commissaries of the police on the Place St. Jacques allowed that portion of the crowd which was nearest to a very wide circle formed round the guillotine to take their station within that circle, which was instantly filled with about 3,000 persons. Generals Dariule and Bugeaud, in full Uniform, were on horseback close to the scaffiald. A little further off, and seated in an omnibus, were the Juge d'ln sruction, Zangiacotni, and Messrs. Cauchy and La Chauvi niere, both of them registrars of the Court of Peers, who had been stationed there for the purpose of receiving any c onfessions or depositions which Pepin might be disposed to offer at the moment of suffering death. On the outside of the gate, at a tavern, the Duke of Brunswick was to be seen at a window of the first floor, looking over the gate on the scaffold with a spying-glass. Pepin was the first to descend from his vehicle. He mounted the scaffold with a firm step, and exhibited in his entire deportment a degree of calmness and resignation that formed a strong contrast with the weakness and irresolution displayed by him during his trial. On reaching the fatal platform he Lqwed t the asseuthled multitude, resigned him ;elf into the hands of the executioner, and in anctlier moment ceased to exist. The appearance of the next prisoner (Morey) who ascended the scaffold excited an intensely painful feeling among the populace. His age, his physical infirmities, and his venerable ,gray hairs, seem e d to command respect, in spite even of the terrible charge s against him, which he was now on the point of expiating with his life. In consequence of his extrerna debility, he was - actually lifted on the scaffold by the executioner and his assistants, by whom he was strapped to the fatal board. The knife then descended, and almost before the countless and breathless multitude could perceive the signal given for its fall, the wretched criminal was a headless corpse. It was now Ficschi's turn to brave the embrace of death, with which he bad long boasted his readiness to form companionship. He mounted the steps leaching to the scaffold without the slightest symptom of faltering or wavering, attended by the ecclesiastic who had ac companied him from the prison. Arrived on the plat form, he whispered a few words in the ear of his re verend attendant, and then embraced him warmly. He then said a few words to the crowd, but on account of the distance we were able to distinguish only the phrase, " I die fearlessly—l have declared the truth." As soon as the priest by whom he was attended had quitted the plat• - form, the executioner performed the melancholy office, and Fieschi joined his comrades in guilt and misfortune in another world. The entire of the fatal ceremony occupied but the brief space of five minutes, it being exactly that time after eight o'clock when the reeking axe fell upon the last of the criminals. Not the slightest disorder was manifested by the multitude, except when the cavalry were obliged to repel somewhat rudely the pressure of the crowd. The crowd slowly and sadly separated immediately after the execution, and the military also retired to their respective barracks, leaving the quarter within half an hour of the time the dreadful spectacle had taken place without any symptom of its having been the scene of any extraordinary occurrence. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. (From Galignani's Messenger of Saturday.) M. Vassal, a commissary of police, expressly deputed for the purpose, went to Pepin and his confessor on their alighting at the scaffold, and said—" M. Pepin, your last moment is nigh. You have no further interests of your own to consult, and you ought to declare the whole truth, as your confessor must have recommended you to do. If you have any further revelations to make, I am ready to listen to you." Pepin, with a steadiness which has never been shaken, replied—" I have nothing to add to the de positions I have already made. I have said all I have to say. I die an innocent victim to infamous machinations. I recommend my wife and children." M. Vassal re newed his exhortations, saying " there is still time. If you have any revelations to make, you may yet make them, and the execution will be suspended as far as you arc concerned." Though this last declaration might give . a gleam of hope to Pepin, he did not yield to it, Lut raising his head with an air of pride, again repeated, " No, Sir, I have nothing more to say in addition to what I have already said." Pepin then embraced the, Abbe. Gallard with affection, kissed the crucifix, and raising his eyes towards heaven, said with a firm voice, " I crave pardon a thousand times ; I crave pardon of God." He then ascended the scaffold, and look ing round on the people, uttered 'his last words—" Adieu! gentlemen, lam a victim. I die innocent. Adieu!" In a moment after he was no more. Morey's turn came next. " Oh, my God," he said, " then it is about to be finished at _ last." He also embraced the Confessor, kissed the crucifix, and gave himself to the four assistants, who supported him 14) to the scaffold. " Take courage," said one of them to him. "It is not courage I want," replied he instantly, "it is disease which renders me unable to support myself." When the executioner's assistant took off the cap which he has constantly worn, the exposure of his " hoary head" pro duced a thrilling sensation among the spectators, which was renewed when the head was locked in the circular opening in the front of the guillotine, thus projecting beyond it. Du ring the execution of Pepin and Morey, Fieschi, who stood at the foot of the scaffold, turned away his bead, " not," he said, " that.he feared the sight of death, but that he might not appear to brave his accomplices." Fieschi, though he twice saw the axe raised, coloured with the blood of his accomplices, never showed the slight est emotion of fear or horror, but continued to converse with those around him till the assistant executioner laid his hand upon his shoulder as indicating that the fatal moment for him had arrived. Fieschi, accompanied by his Con fessor, whom he had entreated not to leave him till the latest moment, came forward without hesitation, and re quested permission to address the spectators. M. Vassal, the Commissary of Police, consented, but desired that he would be brief. He immediately. mounted the steps .With extraordinary rapidity, and placing himself in the attitude of an orator, pronounced the following words, with a clear and firm voice :—" I am about to appear before my God. I have told the truth. I die content. I have rendered a service to my country -by pointing cut my accomplices. I have told the truth and no falsehoods, as I call upon Heaven to witness. I am happy and satisfied. I demand pardon of God and man , ; but, above all, of God. I re gret my victims more than my own life." Upon this he turned quickly round and delivered himself into the hands of his executioners. On Thursday night, at ten o'clock, Madame Pepin, ac companied by her brother-in-law, was received by the Queen, being_presented to her Majesty by Gen. Bernard, one of the King's aides-de-camp. The body of Pepin was given•up to his family for burial at their request. The others were delivered for dissection. GERMAN PAPERS.

THUNDER STORM.—The Leyden Journal has a letter from Groento of the 12th of February, which says, after a very stormy night, with muckhail, the sky being extremely dark, the lightning struck the steeple of the Reformed Church at a little before three this morning, and in an hour and a half the spire was burnt and the cross fell. Now, at ten in the evening, the whole is in flames. Expresses are sent to all quarters, and a great many engines have arrived ; but the wind continues very high, and we look with anxiety for the mornlntr. On the same day a very violent thunder storm traversed a great part of Westphalia; the steeple of the church of Greven was struck by lightning during divine service. The Arnheint Journal says that on the same day the steeple of the church, which is provided with a conductor, was three times struck with lightning-, but was not injured. At Wezel one of the steeples was struck three times, and: set on fire in two places ; the fire was, however, extinguished without doing much damage.—Dutch Papers. SIIIPWRECKS.-The sloop, hawk, Yoking, of Pe terhead, from Orkney to Peterhead, with cattle, having missed stays in a gale of wind with snow showers, was driven ashore on the island of South Ronaldsay, and totally wrecked on the 29th January ; crew saved. On the 31st January the schooner Marsella Marie, Coyle, of Dublin, from Wick to-Dublin with herrings, struck upon the rocks in taking the south harbour of Glass,. in the Harris Isles, and sunk in seven fathoms water; crew saved, and humanely taken care of at the Lighthouse. LYNN, NORFOLK, FEB. 19.—Our annual mart commenced on Tuesday last, which has added much to the bustle of this great commercial . town, although at present, from the dreadful state of the weather, it has not been so thronged as usual; during the whole of Wednesday, in par ticular, the wind blew a perfect hurricane, accompanied by a. helvy fall of snow and sleet. About seven o'clock in the , evening the effects of the storm were disastrous, the wind, nearly due north, increased to such a degree, that, combined with the sping tide, it caused the river Ouse to rise higher than was ever known here. The houses near the quays and the principal streets were completely inundated, so that boats were in requisition as far as the market-place to assist the in habitants to escape the threatened danger. Towards eight o'clock, however, the tide receded, and we have not heard of any loss of life here, although we hourly expect heavy tidings. from the coast, the wind blowing direct on the Norfolk shore.
