In this city a curious transaction has caused much talk and some uneasiness. A foreigner, of goad ad. dress, representing himself to be a German Baron, and rejoicing in the appellation of " Georg Baron of See hausen, Lieutenant," has recently been patronising certain hotels in Bangor, where, from his easy de. portment, he has insinuated himself into the good graces of those who were favoured with his company. To support his proclaimed tide, letters bearing th• above address were scattered on the tables in his apartments, and one in particular exhibited the official seal of the. Prussian Minister, with whom Baron von Seehausen affected to be on the most inti iliate terms. At one hotel he stated that he, in con junction with Count Stratchwite z , had rent e d a l arge holve in one of the most fashionable ?quires in Lon dbn, which thay intended to occupy during the Ex. h oi t 4, n . So f,r, however, not much harm was done, apd no one here had cause to complain of the Baron's visit. But on his departure from Bangor, Holyhead was selected as the distinguished foreigner's tempo . . nary locale. He there called upon a well:known watchmaker, also a German by birth, and appeared glad to meet with a fellow-countryman who could converse a ith him in his own language. The watch- Maker was no less pleased to he thus honoured by his aristocratic countryman, who gave the same address as in B %rigor, and said that he was possessed of exten sive property in the Isle of M:n, which place he in tended to visit, as well as Liverpool, but not having sufficient cash upon him until his arrival at his hotel in Liverp oo l, h e i n ti ma t e d that the loan of 30 1 . would be a favour. The unsuspecting watchmaker at once lent him the money, and ag reed to see him at his hotel i n Liverpool, at the time appointed for payment, and the Baron thereupon too k his leave. The vvatch ju_,,_:_ s u n y w,int to Liverpool, but not meet -5 with eed u f l s ort distinguished patron became rather un easy,miswerith repaired to Bangor to make known his tale of who misery , an d l in the hope of meeting with the Baron, earnt had been staying here. On his arrival w as fortunate enough to catch the Baron, a nd consequently p re for money, but the lat ter, with an air of the e g r e rn ate h e : un strnchalance, said he had returned just that instant ut f rom Holyhead, and had paid the 301 . to the man's i 4 o ,and if his word w as doubted he was gt o wif e, with him.

Jones, who is to suc ceed Sir Frederic Smith as director of the Royal En gineer Establishment at Chatham, is at present sta tioned at Edinburgh, but will assume his new duties immediately. He is brother to Mr. Jones, the Old nanc- Storekeeper at Chatham Garrison. Lieutenant- Colonel Jones served in the expedition to Walcheren, in 1809. Also the campaigns of 1810, 11, 12, 13, and 14, including the actions and sieges of Cadiz, Tarragona (1811), Badajoz (1812), Vittoria, St. Sebastian, passage of the Bidassoa, Nivelle, Nive, Bayonne.

A. banquet will be given to his Grace the Duke of Richmond on the 21st of June, on which occasion the testimonial of the Peninsular heroes to his efforts in procuring the grant of the medal will he presents d. We believe that the festival will take place at Willis's Rooms, but this point has not been definitely ar ranged. The testimonial is of silver, and consists of an allegorical group on a quadrangular pedestal, very tastefully designed. DRAFTS FOR. CANADA.—A detachment, consisting of 1 officer and 42 men of the 66th Regiment, arrived at Cork on the 23d instant, and a detachment of 1 officer and 41 men of the 71st Highland Light In fantry arrived at Cork on the 22d, the whole to em bark in the ship New Liverpool for their respective head-quarters in Canada. THE COMMANDER-IN.CHIEE AT THE NORE.—• Vice-Admirals Sir Charles Malcolm, Sir Hugh Pigot, Dacres, and others, have been named for this command ; but we believe that Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline Percy, C. 8., formerly Commander in-Chief at the Cape, and cousin to the Duke of Northumberland, will be the successor to Vice- Admiral the Hon. G. Elliot, C. 8., as Commander in-Chief at the Nore. THE LIFE- BOAT COMMITTEE. -- The Committee, composed of the Surveyor of the Navy, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., his Assistant, Mr. I. Watts, the Master Shipwright of Portsmouth Dock. yard, Mr. Finchatn, Captain Washington, R.N., and Captain Jerningham, R.N., have had another meet ing at Somerset-house during the week, to inspect the mcdels of life-boats sent in by the candidates for the Duke of Northumberland's one hundred guinea prize. We hear that there are not less than three hundred competitors. ADMIRAL SIR EDWARD CODRINGTON.--ThiS vene rable officer still lingers in a hopeless state, and his friends expect that every hour will be his last. It is impossible for him to recover. THE lsr or MAT.—In consequence of the turn of affairs at Portugal, Commodore Martin's squadron will not be at Spithead as anticipated by theist of May. It is ordered, however, that her Majesty's ship Vengeance, 84 Captain Lord E. Russell, shall go out of harbour to remain at Spithead on the Ist of May, and the Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord C. Paulet, is ordered to proceed to Plymouth Sound on the Ist proximo. We were the first to announce that the Admiralty had ordered her Majesty's steam-frigate Retribution, Captain Warden, to rejoin Commodore Martin's squadron at Lisbon, and that she would leave Devon port on the 26th instant. We may now state that she will not remain with the squadron, but will re turn with invalids and dispatches to Spithead im mediately. Captain the Hon. H. Keppel is expected home in the Meander, 44, in July next. On her arrival she is to proceed to Chatham to be paid off. Captain Kellett, C 8., in the Herald, is daily ex pected from the Cape. Hoog•Kong, and the Pacific. She is to be paid off at Chatham. Rear-Admiral Hornby, C. 8., may be expected from the Pacific about the middle of next month. On the arrival of his flag-ship, the Asia, 84, she is to proceed to Sheerness to be paid off. The Asia was fitted out at Sheerness. Admiral the Earl of Dundonald, G.C.8., is expected from the West Ind'es at the end of ne:t month. On the arrival of his fhig-ship, the Wellesley, 72, slut is ordered to be psid off at Chatham. She was fitted out at Devonport. Our readers will be gratified to bear that the Senior Admiral on the list, Sir George Cockburn, G.C.8., is in the enjoyment of comparatively good health. This gallant and distinguished officer and his lady and daughter have removed from High-beach to spend a short time at Leamington. BANK OF FRANCE.

A MODEL PEIEST.—About a month ago, a respect able looking person, dressed as a priest, presented himself at the principal hotel at Courbevoie, and took the best apart ment that could be had. He intimated that he was an agent of the Legitimatist party, and in constant communication with the principal clergy of France. By his insinuating be haviour he soon got into the confidence of several of the respectable inhabitants. After a while, he told the landlord that he might soon present his bill, as a large sum of money was coming to him. Time wore on, however, and the money did not arrive. But he removed all doubts by saying that the police had probably stopped the letter, and by adding that he had with him orders On some of the principal bankers of Paris, though he did not wish to change them. To the friends in the village, he talked gaily of his temporary em barrassments, and accepted, sans cerenzonie, the loans they 9ffered him. In the night of Monday, some noise was heard in the Abbe's room; and on looking out of the window, the servant saw the Abbe letting himself down by a sheet.

LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, April 26. (Sittings in Banco, at Westaiin , ter, before Mr. Jus tice PATTESON, Mr. Justice WIOHTMAN, and Mr. Justice ERLE.) THE QUEEN V. EIESSELL. This was a conviction under the Copyright of Designs Act. An invention for ventilating rooms had been registered. One pane in the highest row of a window was to have only half the usual quantity of glass, and was to be inserted at an angle, and this was to be managed by a screw at the bottom of the window•frame, so that the air could be admitted. The claim was the general configuration and combi nation of the parts for the purpose designed. The window pane was an oblong of a square. The in fringement was this,—that everything was similsr, except that the window pan•, an oblong. was longer and narrower. The present rule was to quill the conviction. Mr. Hindmarsh and Mr. Llcke supported the conviction, and Mr. Webster and Mr. Hunter con tended that the conviction ought to be quashed, as it did not come within the Designs Act. The COURT thought the very plan of the invention, as stated by the inventor, was suicidal. The inventor had disclaimed the window-frame, the pane of glass, and the screw. There was no new configuration.— Conviction quashed. THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF WiIIsTON, CLERK P. THE DEAN AND CHAPTER. Or HOCHENTER. Sir F. KELLY said this was a demurrer to certain pleas pleaded to a return to a mandamus, the manda• mus being to restore a gentleman of the name of Whiston to the office of head master of the Grammar School, at Rochester. The mandamus stated that Mr. Whiston was nominated head master of the school, and had always conducted himsplf properly ; but that the dean and chapter had dismissed him. The return, after stating the foundation of the school, went on to say that Mr. Whiston had been elected head master, and that he had been removed from his office tor lawful cause, and had not appealed to the Bishop of Rochester, who was the visitor of the school. To that return the prosecutor hal pleaded three pleas ; Ist, that the return was not suf cient, that the cause for which he had been removed was not a lawful cause; 2d, that as to so much of the return which stated that he had not ap pealed to the bishop, he had pleaded in the next plea that the cause of the removal was alleged to be the writing a pamphlet ; that the words of the pamphlet were written of and concerning the bishop, and that several passages of the pamphlet were written with the intention of making public what had been done with regard to the school, and that he was not bound by the statute to appeal to the bishop. Thirdly, that Mr. Whiston was elected in 1842, under letters patent, to be head master of the school; that he had properly conducted himself, and was not unfit for the situation; that he had required an augmentation for some of the scholars ; that he had published a pamphlet on cathedral trusts; that the pamphlet was for the public benefit ; that in 1849 the dean and chapter bad resolved that he should be removed, and that there was no other cause for the removal than the pamphlet. To this plea in bar there were special demurrers. The Learned Counsel ap peared on behalf of the defendants, and submitted that the Bishop of Rochester was visitor of the school, to whom, and to whom alone, the appeal lay against the sentence of the dean and chapter dismis sing Mr. Whiston from his office; and that upon principle, as well as upon established authority, there was no concurrent or other jurisdiction, but that where under statute in a case of this nature upon any act in the nature of a dismissal being done by a body like the dean and chapter, and in respect of an office of this character, if the per son distniss - d supposed he had cause of complaint, he must appeal to the visitor, and to the vi-itor alone ; and although this Court would interpose if, upon an appeal being made to a visitor the visitor should refuse to hear or entertain it, and the visite'. might thus be compelled to do jus, ice, yet until that appeal had been made, no mandamus would lie, and it was not competent for this Court to entertain the question, which belonged to the visitor alone. Sir F. THEEIGER, on behalf of Mr. Whiston, con tended that, although in ordinary cases an appeal would be to the visitor, yet in the present instance the Bishop of Rochester was so much interested, that to appeal to him would be making him a judge of his own cause. There were passages in the pamphlet reflecting in very strong terms upon the conduct of the Bishop of Rochester. They imputed to him a knowledge of the diversion of the funds of the school from their proper object, so that, as he had before said, to appeal to the bishop would be to appeal to a party who was himself charged with having a know ledge of that which was said to be improper conduct. In the midst of the argument of the Learned Counsel the Court rose, and the further hearing w4s postponed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARY LEBOIVE. Adolphe Czapluntzi was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with having, under false prptenees, rreleaveured to obtain money from Lord Leigh, or 30, Portman-square. A great deal of evidence ryes gone into, from which it appeared that a few days ago Lord Leigh received from the prisoner a letter, inclosing three other letters, one of them purporting to be signed by the Earl of Carlisle, another by Lord Jersey, and a third by the American Minister, to whom the prisoner had applied for assistance, setting forth that he had been a lieutenant in the Hungarian army, and that after the ineffectual struggle for independence he went to Paris, where he was not allowed to remain, and was therefore compelled to take refuge in Eng land. It was further stated that Lord Leigh being a subscriber to the Mendicity Society, communi cated with Captain Ward, the manager thereof, and as the prisoner was well known as an impostor, it was arranged by the captain and Mr. Fergusson, the chief clerk in the begging letter department, that Horsford, the principal officer, should be in at tendance at his Lordship's house at six o'clock on Friday evening, at which period the prisoner was to call for an answer to his application. He came at the time tamed, and was then given into the custody of Horsford, by whom he was conveyed to the station-house. From letters produced it would ap pear that the prison. r had obtained money from the Earl of Carlisle (31.), and from the American Minis ter 21., to aid him in his trip to the new world. The prisoner was some time ago charged at this court with having, by falsely representing himself as a col lector for Polish refugees, obtained money from va rious individuals, and, atter being remanded, he was discharged. The prisoner, who said that the statements in the documents brught forward were correct, was remanded till Wednesday next, in order to afford time for Horsford to make further inquiries in the matter, su as to ascertain whether the letters produced were genuine or not. The magistrate intimated to the prisoner that if he could find good bail he was at liberty to do so. William Searle and Phabe Searle (man and wife) were charged with having plundered the residence of Sir. William Robert Clayton, 79, Gloucester-place, Portman-square, of property of different descriptions to the amount of about 401. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses that the Baronet's family left London in July last; and that the prisoners were engaged to take charge of the house and furniture therein. On Friday last the butler, with other servants, returned to town in order to prepare for the family's arrival on the next day, and on entering the residence they found that the prisoners had absconded from the place. They made their way into eari'ma apartments, below and up stairs, and at once ascertained that the rooms had been completely stripped of everything which it was possible to carry of. Information of the robbery was communicated to the police, and this morning (Sa turday) the prisoners were captured by Eldridge, 335, and Hoyes, 14 D. The man was taken in Port man-square, and the woman at a room in East-street, Manchester-square. The latter said she was very sorry for what she had done, and told the officers that if they would look into a cupboard in the house keeper's room, they would find the dupli ca t es f or th e property pledged. They accordingly proceeded thither, and on searchng the place alluded to they laid their hands on no fewer than 64 tickets for ar ticles pledged. A host of pawnbrokers attended, bringing witb them large and small packages, containing articles of different kinds pledged at their respective shops'. The property was identified as belonging to Sir M. R. Clayton, and in order to afford time for the com pletion of the depo.itions taken the prisoners were remanded till Monday week, on which day the evi dence against them will be read over and they will be committed for trial. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES IN LIVERPOOL.—During last year 17,741 places using weights and measures in Liver pool were visited by the inspectors, whilst the convictions for fraud were only 528, or 8 per cent.

The report of the directors, to b 3 submitted to the shareholders at the half-yearly meeting on Wed nesday, states that on assuming the management of the affairs of the company the directors found the railway closed ; and in addition to the absence of any revenue, the company was incurring the re sponsibility of interest on debentures to the extent of about 5,0001. per annum. The Lull action of the present board has not been in force for much more than six months. The fisrt object of the directors was to re-open the line, which they did in September last; and notwithstanding all the disadvantages of the tem porary suspension of railway communication in the dis trict up to the present time the revenue, as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year, has considerably increased, while the expenses have di minished. The directors attribute these results to the zeal and economy of Mr. Brown, who, in addition to his duties as secretary, has been acting as manager at New market. Mr. Jackson, iv far the largest debenture holder. took the lead in liberal arrangements, which were with equal cordiality acceded to by others, and the result has been that of the total number of debentures issued by the company, amounting to 107,0001., chic fly bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, 102,5001. are now chargeible at 3i per cent., so that only 4,5001. remain at 5 per cont. Mr. Jackson has consented to re • w his debentures as they fall due, for a further pence of five years. An agreement was en tered into with Mr. Jackson by which he cancelled his former contrac, for the completion of the works, on such terms as will prove a saving to the company of at least 25,0001.—an important feature of the agreement being that Mr. Jackson has entered into a contract to coos plete the line to Cambridge for a sum not exceeding 9,9001., on being fure.isbed with a certain quantity of rails and sleepers. In order to meet the engagements of the company, and to provide .for the completion of the line to Qembridge, the directors foresaw that it would be necessary to make the last call or 2/. per share; but, before doing so, they resolved in justice to those share holders who had regularly paid up their calls, to endea vour to enforce the payment of all calls in arrear, and the result was that of above 5,000 shares in arrear when the late directors resigned, .the holders of more than 3,500 have paid up their calls, leaving only about 1,500 shares which were absolutely turfeit,cd in Feoruary last. The report then refers to the agreement entered into with the Eastern Counties Railway for working the line, of which the following is an abstract:—" The basis of the agreement, fully concluded, consists of the free use of the Cambridge and Chesterford stations, with the ne cessary staff of clerks and porters; the supply of roll ing stock at cost price; the gross earnings (less 40 per cent. for working) on all the traffic brought by this rail way to the Cambridge station, and conveyed along the Eastern Counties line from Cambridge to Chesterford, and Cambridge to Ely; a contribution of 5,0001. per an num, if required, to make up a dividend of 3 per cent. on the capital of the company of 350,0001." Some fur ther concessions of minor importance having been made, it was lastly agreed that the Eastern Counties Company should have the right of purchasing the Newmarket line, and assuming all its liabilities, on a satisfactory guarantee of a 3 per cent. annual dividend on a payment of 151. for every 251. share. These advantages and the participation of the profit of the traffic from Cambridge to Chesterford, and from Cambridge to Ely, and the contribution of 5,0001 a year (which is in itself within a fraction of 1 per cent. on the capital of 350,0001.), leave no doubt in the minds of the direc tors that a dividend of 3 per cent. is secured on the capital stock of the company as soon as the • line to Cambridge is completed, when a large increase of traffic must necessarily take place. The object of the directors is now to complete the line to Cambridge with the utmost speed possible. The works will be imme diately proceeded with, and will not require more than eight or en weeks for cempletien. Atter having dis charged every claim upon the company of which. the directors are cognizant, they have disposable funds at their command amply sufficient to enable them to cem- plete the line. The directors confidently look for an ap proval of the result of their labours, and that the share holders will confirm the agreement which they have pro visionally entered into with the Eastern Counties Com pany, which is, in their opinion, highly conducive to the best interests of the Newmarket Railway. SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM. Mr. R. SCOTT, ti n ' chetrinen of the Committee of Shareholders appointed on the 12th of February lase to reopen negotiations with the London and North- Western Company, has addressed a letter to the share holders in reference to the arrangement proposed by the Great Western Company tor leasing the line, in which be states that, .upon a careful investigation, that com mittee found that, from the opening of the line, the affairs had been so mismanaged that the proprietors could have little hope of a dividend except throught a friendly ar rangement with the London and North- Western Come parry, and the 'withdrawal of that reckless competition which involved a heavy loss upon great part of their traffic. On the 12th of March the proprietors approved of the proceedings of the committee, and of the arrange ment then submitted for consideration. At their subse quent mewings they confirmed that arrangement by very , large majorities. After having thus, by repeated reso lutions, entered into and finally and formally concluded an agreement, they are now asked by Mr. Gore and hie parry to rescind their resolutions, forfeit their pledges, and break a solemn compact entered into in obedience to their orders, and confirmed by them in general assembly, after the fullest di-cuesion, and notwithstanding the most virulent and unju.tifiable opposition recorded'in railway annals.. Before ceming to any determination in refer ence to the resolutions so lately passed, ho, requests their serious consideration of the terms offered by the Great Western Company. For the first four years the terms offered under both arrangements are nearly equal though there will be a balance of 1 per cent. in favour of the London and North-Western agreement if the trial year be postponed to the fifth year. He states that the minimum capital of the three companies which it is proposed to unite by the contemplated amalgation with the Great Western, amounts to 19,992,7001., with an annual charge of 859,9501, including 4 per cent. on the ordinary capital, the preference charges of each company, and the interest on loans ; the Shrewsbury and Birmingham capital being 1.156,7001., annual charge 51,8851; the Shrewsbury and Chester, capital 1,421,000/, annual charge 65,8401; and the Great Western capital 17,415,000/, with an annual charge of 742,2251.; showing that to pay a dividend of 41. per cent. on the ordinary share capital of the amalgamated com panies, it will . require a nett receipt of 859,9501. per annum; or, inclusive of working expenses, a traffic of 1,456,0001. per annum. The Shrewsbury and Chester and Shrewsbury and Birmingham companies have not hitherto earned any dividend on their ordinary share capital, and the Great Western dizidend is but at the rate of 4 per cent. on 8,072,0001., equal to only 323,0001. per annum., notwithstanding that the revenue of 'bat company is now relieved by charging interest to capital to the amount of at least 150,000/ per annum. Before the Great Western can unite themselves to the line, they must raise upwards of three millions of money to pay for and complete the lines from Oxford, aril Birmingham, to Wolverhampton, besides their other liabilities And to all these engagements the Shrewsbury and Birming ham line and capital will be pledged under the proposed amalgamation; so that, from being the line with the smallest debt, they would become the line with tbe largest debt, compared with .the capital, in the kingdom. After adverting to the effect of a reduction of fares on the Great Western Railway as a con sideration for obtaining their Birmingham and Stafford shire lines, he states that if the proposed amalgamation be carried it must lead to a competition, at greatly re duced rates, not only from Birmingham to Liverpool, but also throughout the whole of the Great Western ' district; that the Shrewsbury and Birmingham and the Chester companies have had ample experience of the no profit and no dividend attending traffic obtained by such means. The London and North-Western Company have gone through their difficulties, have capitalised their en gagements, and are prepared for the contest with funds in hand and a considerable surplus. Looking to the fate of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton share holders under their agreement with the Great Western Company, and to the anxiety of that company to rid themselves of the burdens between Oxford and Birming ham, it behoved them to pause before they placed their property in a similar position. He begs them to reflect, whether they will prefer uncertainties and dangers, with no dividend until the year 1852, to a clear and fixed dividend of 3,3 i, and 4 per cent., commencing immedi ately, and payable for 21 years, after which period they will have a valuable and unincumbered property, and states that the proposed agreement with the London and North-Western Company is drawn under the advice of eminent counsel, and in their opinion it will be un doubtedly valid and binding upon all parties.

THE EXECUTION AT KIRKDALE. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 26.—Pearick Lyons, wao with his wife, was at tke last assizes sentenced to be hanged sor the murder of Peggy Fahey at Warringtois expiated his off-nee on the scaffdd at Kirkdala Gaol to-day. Since his condemnation Lyons has paid the most de ' vout attention to his religious duties, expressing the utmost ciintrition for his crime, and being quite resigned and prepared to meet his fate. On Thursday he had an interview with his sister. The parting scene was very affecting, but nothing material passed between them. On the following day he took a last farewell of his wife, and intimated his intention to declare her innocence on the scaffold. By twelve o'clock a large crowd was assem bled to see the executien, but not so large by several thousands as on the occaidon of Gleeson Wilson's exe cution. Lyons had been engaged in devotional prepa. ration in the interior of the prison. Pausing occa sionally, be paced up and down the room, and more than once expressed impatience, at what app ared t ) him the unnecessary delay in car eying out the sentence of the law. He did not betray the slightest apprshensien regarding his approaching end. When Calcraft (who arrivad in Liverpoil on Friday afternoon) entered the room the criminal saluted him with a familiar nod, accompanied by a peculiar smile. He submitted to the op- ration of pinioning with the same fortitude , which had characteri.ed his previous conduct. On the way he nodded to several of the turnkeys, cheer fully bale them a final adieu and God bless them." He carried in his band a small hook, which was given to him at his own request, and a crucifix. At the toot of the gallows he knelt down and repeated after the priest, " Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit; Lord Jesus, receive my soul." Imne diately on mount ing the sc,ffold he turned quickly round aed looked up at the beam, from which the small chain to which the n iose is attached was suspended. He eyed it for a few seconds, and again facing the concourse of people he bowed twice or thrice. As Calcraft was . about to draw the cap over the eyes of the criminal he intimated that he wished to address the people. He spoke distinctly, sometimes pausing, as it were, to recollect what he had intended to say. His address ran as follows:—" dear brethren,—l'm sorry for what I have done, and I confess to the Almighty God, and all here to-day, I firmly believe I em guilty of this murder; anti I firmly believe my poor wife is innocent, 014 innocent as a child. Lord have mercy upon her! Here is the hand that has done the murder; here is the body that has committed the sin. (A pause.) Thank God that I am willing to suffer; but my suffering is nothing. I am willing to nail my hand to the tree; lam willing to drag me be tween four horses; lam willing to put me in the fire and burn to ashes—for the sake of my soul, because I knew I was doing wrong; I knew that I had committed a sin. And, my dear brethren, what must be the cause of this? I neglected my mass; I neglected God; I neglected my prayers morning and evening, and, only for I did this, I would not be buffering here to-day for •such a guilty crime. My dear Christians, let this be a warning for ye, and learn to be wise in this world. I hope in my Saviour Jesus Christ for salvation, and the Blessed Virgin to pray for me, and all good Christians. (Another pause.) I expect you will pray for me to-day, and I trust in God he will listen to me, and the Hoty Virgin Mary, and the angels in heaven. Pray for me this day. My dear Christians, learn to be wise in this world: We - are here to-day and gone to-morrow. (The criminal again paused.) The gentlemen of this place were very kind to me, especially the governor. I am very mush obliged to him, and thank him for his kindness. My poor wife lies in here, and grieves very much about this. May the Lord deliver her from gaol." Here there was a pause, and the doomed man seemed to intimate to Calcraft that he bad finished what he had to say, and in another moment he was launched into eternity. The greater portion of the crowd then dis persed. After hanging the usual time the body was cut down and buried in the gaol. We learn that during the morning, Bridget Lyons, the wife, remained in prayer in her cell. She was much aff. , cted when informed that the extention had taken place, and that her husband had exonerated her. MANCHESTER, APRIL 26.
