Will it be believed in Jtcr time, that the abolitionists, who had the deevst ir - - terest in the success of this experiment, and the G prern rnent, whose dutrit when yielding to the public sentiment against slavery, to take care that slavery shou!d not be promoted by British cmpncipation, actually con spired to prevent the capitalists of the West Indies from obtaining plenty of labour for hire ? But it is idle to recal yesterday except as a lesson for to-morrow. What should have been done two years ago, may yet be done with effect if undertaken vigorously. and systematically. The object to keep steadily in view is the production of sugar in the West Indies at less cost than anywhere else. That is the panacea, produce sugar cheaper in the West Indies than elsewhere. But how, philo sopher of the Press, how ? That you leave un • explained. Introduce, it is said, free labourers. But why have the West India proprietors not done so ? There has been a conspiracy, it is said, tween • the Government and the abolitionists to prevent them. We believe that this is false. The Government and the abolitionists did co. operate for one year, to prevent Hill Coolies, but Hill Coolies only, from being carried from Bengal to the West Indies, because that was, as is said, a new slave trade. But this year the Government separated from its fellow con spirators, and was defeated by them in its at tempt to allow the importation of Hill Coolies. In the interim the planters carried some Maltese and some Hill Coolies to the West Indies, and for five yews subsequent to the emancipation we are not aware that any obstacle existed to their import ing free labourers, except indeed their own desire to retain their own slave codes and slave treatment. This was an insurmountable obstacle both to free labourers going to the sugar colonies and to the planters even wishing to carry them thither. The planters were the conspirators and the enemies to free labour. The whole of society in those colonies is founded on a principle of slavery. The condition of the majority of the labourers ne cessarily influences, if it do not wholly determine, the condition of any individual labourer. What could an agricultural labourer, for example, get in Ireland but - a bare subsistenee of lumpers in return for the more severe toil? What can any labourer get in the West Indies, when all the soil is owned and monopolised, if not occupied, but the wages and the treatment of the slave ? The constitution of, the country is framed by masters, the. code is for slaves. These are the circumstances—and mainly the condition of the society, prior to the emancipation Act, which rendered it impossible for tree labour ers to go to the colonies to use the capital of the slave masters, and made the slave masters not de sire to have free labourers except on terms which arc synonimous with slavery. It is merely idle, there fore, to prate about having free labour in the colo nies. It amounts, when exatnined, to nothing more than solemn gabble, mere fiction, like Boz's tale of the " Curiosity Shop," but not so amusing. There is sonic more solemn nonsense in the same article. The writer carps at everything, and equally condemns the silly sentiments of benevo lent fools, and the well- weighed deductions of science. An adherence to the principles of free trade is denounced as dangerous in legislation. What does the solemn trifler mean ? Are his crotchets, or the crotchets of the West Indian planters, or the abominable errors of our fiscal sys tem more worthy of confidence than the noble system of free trade, which requires the State not to inter fere with individual enterprize, and the employment of the capital and industry of individuals ? To de cry free trade for the colonies is to decry it for England, and the same reasons apply with equal force to the abolition of the Corn-laws and the sugar monopoly. We will answer the Colonial • Gazette by a quotation from the Spectator, leav ing these two writers, if they be not one, to settle the difference betwixt them. The Quarterly Returns of the Revenue more tha n answer our expectations. The increase on the year i5147,453/.;Theincrease on the quarter is 211,6991. It is pleasant to see that tin! Customs and Excise :revenues, with the taxes, show steady and penile , *lent Increase, amounting:in the year to 825,0621., • she great decrease being is the amount of postage : . 558;0001. for the year, and 269,0001. for the quarter:- There "bias. been a' great , ' reduction of taxation by the introduction-of the • uniform penny Postage, butAltere has also: been, on_ the whole, a considerable increase in the re-venue. . With respect-to the postage, we believe the.facts .to be that there is now a steady and progressive in crease,-but it does not quite equal the sanguine expectations which were formed of the penny rate. As great an increase, we understand, has taken place in what may be called social letters, or letters of affection and kindness, as was expected. So fat the reduction of the postage will be an immense bepefit .to the poorer classes ; but the increase in . businesletters, tradesmen's circulars, &c., has not corresponded to the evidence given before the Com mittee. Perhaps this is to be partly accounted for by the rapidity of railway travelling, which very often induces men of business to visit their corms poodents instead of writing to them ; but it is clrefly caused, we apprehend, by the comparative stagnation of business, which has co-existed with the Rduction of the rates of postage. From every market the report has been that the spring trade is • . very slack. The circulation of the Bank of Eng land does not amount to 17,000,000/. ; it . has only a small quantity of gold in its coffers, and still keeps, and has kept for some months, a tight screw on the currency. Conn ry Joint Stock Banks are failing. With the exception of railways, there is not much enterprise in the country, and, on the whole, cir cumstances hare boot by no means favourable to the success of the scheme of the uniform and re duced rate of postage. We-arelound also to add, from our own experi ence, that there is as vet a great want in the facility of sorting and distributing letters in the metropolis, which deprieef; the great improvement of much of' its utility. For example, letters that are hi ought to town by the mid-day mails ate not delivered in the Strand • till about five o'clock. Again, the early hour at which the Pus'-office is closed, and which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated a few nights ago was not to be altered, is a considerable iriconvemenee to the inhabi.ants of the metropolis, and tends to diminish the advantage of the Post • office to the public, and the number of letters sent by it. We hope, however, that the minor matters cif arrangement will speedily be attended to, as we are sure that by studying the public convenience, • which the G o vernment, if it means to carry on the trade of the Post-office, must study, the revenue will be increased. . With respect to the general increase of the re venue we beg it may he always remembered that it is th e nautral and necessary consequence of the in crease of Cie people. Progress is social health, and for society not to go forward is disease an d death. Having a commerce with all the world, being gene tally at peace, and having a multitude of colonies that are continually creating an, additional demand for our produce, and supplying us with commodities in return, the wonder rs that the revenue does not increase faster. D'.stress in our society is not caused by coming to an actual ' still-stand—for that great disaeter has not yet befallen us—but by the ratio of • progress becoming less and - less, or slower and • slower. The Corn-laws - have not wholly destroyed t the springs of natural progress—they have only much retarded its velocity : and because they are less powerful than nature, their advocates find an ar g ument for continuing them in the little prosperity they have been unable to destroy. Never was there 'a country which ought to make so rapid a progress as England, - and the terlible mischief inflicted on . • the public by aristocratic legislation can only be ap preciated by duly considering the vast elements cf ' tvealth with which the Almighty has .endowed our people, and the poverty and misery to which hun dreds Of thou Sands are exposed. • 7- • Verily, says the Colonial Gazette, mere vntilnent is as danger ous in legislation as the rigid adherence to the prin ciple, effree trade, which suggests the immediate and total destruction of all the national wealth existing in the West Indies. In this last point the free-trade men and the Abolitionists agree. The one party by taking off the duty on:slave-grown sugar, and the other by forbidding the ca pi:alists of the West indies to obtain free labour from other countries, concur in affording encouragement to slavery, much injured men, --and If :en' enforcing payment fiem their dettoi - s, whom they themselves c;Junot reach. There is much to be said in fa . vour of this vier ( of the matter ; but at present we shall confine ourselves to the expression of a hope that their own countrymen will open their hearts and their hands to their immediate and overwhelming dis tress. We perceive by a pamphlet which has been sent to us, that the LORD MAYOR takes a deep interest in the subscription, and we have no doubt his influence will greatly promote it. We refer our readers to an article which we have copied horn the . IViltshire •Independeirt, relative to the proceedings of a Church-tae It appears that alter the most .unjustifia'ile means had been used to procure a majority in favour of the rate, by co.A (-ion, intimidation, and the admission of unqualified persons to poll, the pious Vicar of the parish, who acted as Chairma , t, ex officio, refused a scrutiny of the votes ! This refusal can admit of one interpretation, and one only. It appears, however, to be as illegal as it was arbitrary and unmannerly. - Nothing, we are aware, like fair play, is to be expected from a clerical chairman, when Church-rate is the subject of discussion ; but we do not recollect an instance of such shameless partiality as that of which this Apostolic Vicar has been guilty. The matte? must not be allowed to rest here. The important point whether a scrutiny can be lawfully refused when demanded, must be speedily settled, for if a reve rend chairman be invested with such a power, it is clear that he has the means of laying a Church-rate on the parishioners, whenever he pleases to summon his unqualified vassals to the vestry. We are glad to observe the favourable state of the Revenue, as exhibited in the return of the first quarter. A surplus of 200,000/., compared with last year's corresponding quarter, when the . old postage existed, and before the new taxes are come into anything like full play, augurs well. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER cannot now make the finances a plea for delaying justice to the poor sufferers for losses of ships and carooes in Denmark, such as Captain HAYWOOD and others, who. are anxiously awaiting Mr. CRESSWELL'S motion. In fact, Budgets, as experience has shown, are far from being any certain criterion of the re venue to he expected. For the last ter; years the difference between the estimated and the actual Revenue has fluctuated between 300,000/. and 1,500,0001., sometimes surplus, sometimes defi ciency. Thus, last year we had the disturbed state .of . the. money market, the commercial embarrassment in the United States, the Chartist disturbances, to account for a deficiency, whilst this year we have reason to flatter ourselves with a sur plus. But how can Ministers talk of a want of means, when they refuse to grant the slightest re lief to the country by admitting Foreign Sugars at 425. the cwt. instead of, as at present, 635. duty, and by which, in addition to relieving the consumer by so much from West India monopoly, a large revenue -would be derived. Again, why did we favour the .Russians by lowering the duty on Hemp, from . 9s. 2d. to ld. the cwt. ? •A n additional 5 per cent. on this last is . a mere farce, but a duty of twelve. pence the cwt. on our import, like last year, of 995,217 cwt., would be an extra revenue of 43,021/. It is not, however, on the score of finance, that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defends his opposition to the shipping claSs of claimants for losses in Denmark—it is on what he calls his principle. 1. That a portion of goods sold out of a Ship„ but not paid fdr, are to be compensated undei the title of book debts. 2. That a second portion of goods which have been landed frOm the same ship but not sold, arc also to be compensated as goods on shore. 3. Th3t the remaining portion of the goods, toge ther with the - ship itself, as well as those ships and cargoes seized in the rivers ajid close seas of the Power - whom we have aggrieved, must pay the forfeit of our aggression. This property is styled goods afloat, and is not to be compensated, although that aggression has brought millions to our Treasury. We ask all merchants and shipowners, and par ticularly those of Po►tsmouth, whether this doctrine of their Representative is founded on principle, or is merely the result of dogged resistance to just claims ? to gedeali, which Will complete ii Fovisicning until November 1." . On the subject of the settlemcpt of the E :stern question consequent upon the dismissal of KiiOSREW l'AcitA, we find the foilowing article in the Co.;:stitu tionnel, thy; accredited and, in truth, only personal organ ct M. THIER S " A year has now elapsed since the diplomacy of Eu repo interfered in this dispute, and if we were to leave the question to its care, another yerr would pass over without its rnekine a single step. We must not. besides dissimulate that the present uncertain state of things has Leen wonderfully profitable to the policy of a Cabinet which, under the mask of pacific intervention, has no mere ardent desire than to envenom the dissension between Egypt and the Porte, and to hasten a collision which would shako what remains of the old Ottoman Power to its foundations. Khosrew Paella, whether intention ally or not, was of great use to this Cabinet in its cal culations. His ' antipathy against Mehemet Ali was known, and at his age men do not forget their hatred. Mehemet Ali had demanded the dismissal of ltioarew Pacha, but his demand was considered exorbitant, and there was indeed some insolence in makieg it to the Sul tan through Khosrew himself. The Sublime Porte re jected it, and in doing so acted properly. It would have disgraced itself by yielding to such a condition ; but what it refused to the demands of the Pacha of Egypt it has now conceded to the exigencies of its own po licy. The obstacle has disappeared without the dig nity of the Porte having been compromised. Toe Viceroy CM treat with - the new Ministers, for he knsws that they will consult the true interests of the Ottoman empire, and are not under the influence of personal hatred. The moderation of Mehemet Ali will, we trust, remove all remaining obstacles. This prodigious man, whose genius is still greater than his good fortune, will not sacrifice the high and noble cha racter which he has acquired in Europe. He begins his negotiations where others would have finished. 'As the preliminary of a treaty he voluntarily surrenders the Turk ish fleet, which ho had S 3 energetically refused to give up on the menaces of England. There is something in this conduct so loyal and chivalric, that it appears to us im- possible after such a preamble that the differences should not be arranged, The Ottoman Cabinet is able to appre ciate such an act, and if it follows only its own impulses it will respond,to it. • It has only to be on_ its guard against certain counsels which have hitherto exercised so baneful an influence over the affairs of the Porte." We find it asserted in a Toulon Journal that an ar rangement bee be . en entered into by CABRERA for his surrender to the French GrivernMent. The Carlist is stated to have appointed the place where he will cross the frontier, and lay down his arms. It is pot improbable that CABRERA has sought to make some et;ch arrangement, as be has only been prevented from crossing the frontier for several weeks by ,the apprehen sion that he would be dealt with not as a.sOldier.er poli tied! refugee, but as a murderer, as he really is, and as be richly deserves to be treated by the Government of tne: murdered Legionites. copTi ehde by re port t a t it a t pd the 3 .I.lallez Times.

Lori° CLOTH. —The market remains dull. The Spectator, however, says— " It "halt been repeatedly demonstrated, that the only way to make a nation permanently wealthy is to leave in dustry and commercial enterprise to find their natural channels; • unchecked by phibitions, undistracted by bounties and privileges. It lios been repeatedly demon strated, that the frcinuan ales* is capable of becoming a moral being in -the high inch:rue sense of the word ; and that nations of freemen alone can be strong and happy. The great cardinal principles of the free-traders and the anti-slavers are estahlishCd beyond dispute ; they arc al ready the theoretical creed of nations, end arc on the way to become their practical creed also. If the practical ap plication of one or other seemed productive of evil—if the enforcement of the one seemed incompatible with that of the other—the business of legislators, worthy of the name, would have been to have sow.tht out the mistake in tl.e mode of application or enforcement in which the evil and the incompatibility had their origin—not to argue in, favour of ,abandoning one or other or both of such infalli ble. guides in political action." We agree with the Spectator, and we deny. for the frea traders chat they aff ,, rd, or by their system would J afford, encouragement to slavery. But even the Spectator thinks the colonists would be injured by losing the monopoly of the sugar market. If that were so, why should the ma jority of the people of England have an injury in llicted on them to protect the few sugar planters ? That is contrary to the principle of governing for the majority. They have had a bounty from us for years, and the Spectator says it would be an injury to withdra•,v it. That is substituting a crochet of the. Spectator for the principle of free trade. which is worth nothing if it cannot he acted on. The free traders are quite - willing that the planter should get laboUrers where he pleases, but they make no pretensions to ensuring him supplies of labour to keep up the profit of his capital. That would be an in terference they repudiate. The writes in the Colonial Gazette tells us that the present system is kept up by a bounty of 4,000,0001. a year levied on the people of this country, and that sugar is only cultivated in our West Indies with a view to get this bounty. Now not one sixpence of that bounty goes to encourage free labour. It never reaches the pockets of the labourers. It is wholly seized and appropriated by the land owners and the cap►talists of the West Indies. Be cause they have been endowed with that bounty, they have cared nothing for free -labour. If free trade had been forced on them, including, of course, a perfect freedom on their part to procure free la bourers wherever they could, they would have been compelled before now to put an end to their slave codes, to change the principles of their society, and so to procure sugar in the West Indies at a less cost than elsewhere. In conclusion, we must say that an article of mere solemn prctenc3, and more real unmeaning ness, of greater promise and less performance, of more parade and less substance, we have not often met with in these days of pompous charlatan erie than the article in the Colonial Gazette. The Press is by no means free from this vice of society, and " How to save the West Indies and abolish Negro Slavery' i 3 a memorably exemple of it.

At present there is an abundance of corn and flour in America which would be brought here but for our Corn-laws, and more would be annually g,rolsn to bring here. That . would be a subsistence for our people, and they would find remunerating employment in making commodities to buy that corn. What is true of the United States is true of almost every other country, and there would he no end, we believe, to an extension of our trade tieding both food and remunerating employment for our people, were one mischievous restriction donestway with after another, beginning with the torn laws. If any objection be made on -,the, score of our machinery supplying the wants of other nations, we reply that this machinery is not ,separable from our people—.=it is bat another name for their skill, and is the means of cheaply providing for their wants. Far from c onsidering our and f assertion monstrous, we h o ld it to he strictly true, though on that account we a re net enemies to emigra • !inn. We want both, if people choose to eraigrate we want the repeal of th e C o rn-laws fire' but oremost, d '' because that is dem a nded by a stice, and would b e . J expedient. A fete, an extensive scale, is to be h e l on Ftiti!".y next at Beulah Spa, in aid of the Benevolent Fund of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, As a matter of entertainment, the fete itself promises to be attractive enough, but it is upon far higher ground than mere amusement, however delight ful and refined, that we are induced to solicit for this tiTort of the Association the patronage of the benevo lent public. The funds of the Society are in a very low state, whilst the e!ahns upon them are many and urgent, and are in several instances accompanied by circumstances literally hetirt.reridin. It is true that the Government grant to the Polish refugees has been this year enlarged, so as to include all those who ar rived in this country previously to 1 . 8 38. But since b ti v a t l e t ia o , eoiile without t any Engl e a l n i choice r b r e n i e n i g r that, a great number have been drive n out of Froriee and Switzerland, at the instance of the Russian Em bassy, and many others haveeith t,abentiecien penn'vless, and ,utter ious condition here is pitiable in the extreme. left to th a e n m d y,:ars of hopeless utter ly sorrow,h destitute,o 117 a ndignorantbthr:k broken o it u rinl downga e n ilgy, twit, they are landed upon (kr shores without friend oe introduct i on , and with this peculiar hardship, that there is no diplomatic representative of their nation, to whom, like a ll other foreigners, they could apply for counsel and protetion.

Count DE VILLA REAL, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, had resigned, in con sequence of a misunderstanding with Senhor SEABRA, a Chartist Deputy. It was rumoured that the Count's resignation was the triumph of a plot of the Chartists for driving all the Constitu tionalists out of the Cabinet. There remain but Count BoMFIN and Senhor COSTA CABRAL, men undoubtedly of talent and high moral cha racter, but by no means able, as the Chamber of Deputies is at present constituted, to maintain their places for any length of -time, in despite of the in trigues- of their colleagues. The Chartists, or Con servative party, in Portugal have, by a series of deep-laid intrigues, and the countenance of the KING and - QUEEN, completely recovered the ground from which the proclamation of the Consti• tution drove . them three years ago. Acting always in concert they managed gradually and impercep tibly to gain a political ascendancy over the Consti tutionalists, who were more than ten times as nu merous, but whose indolent reliance upon their own strength made them treat the idea of possible danger as ridiculous. The Portuguese Government was engaged form ing a commercial treaty between Portugal and the United States. The American Minister, Mr. K AVANAGII, who was about to sail for New York, delayed his departure for three weeks, that he mght have a copy of the proposed treaty to sub mit to the Government at ‘Vashington. England and the English are still unpopular themes at Lis• bon, but the fear of giving the English a di:srelish of Portuguese wines, has stopped the bellowing of the more sensible even among the mob. The wine growers, afraid that the commercial treaty between England and France would be signed before the just indignation of this country was appeased, were employing underhand means to prevail upon the Cabinet to open a correspondence with the MEL BOURNE Ministry on the subject of a new treaty, and not to stick about a trifle in securing the best market in the world for the produce of the vintage of Portugal. On the 24th al:. the KING and QUEEN, and Prince ERNEST of Saxe Cobtirg Gotha, were pre sent at Bull fights at Alhamdra.. More than 3,000 spectators attended. Their MAJEsalEs•were welt received by the populace. On ,the li7th prince ERNEST and suite departed for Cadiz, whence he will make the tour of Italy.

They then asked him if there was any thing ho wished to add to it, and We re plied no thing whatever. The confession is written in the French language, with a slight admixture of Swiss, which made it somewhat difficult to translate. We, 'however, have seen a translation of it, and which has been also read to the priscner, and acknowledged by him to be correct. We were not allowed ; totake a copy of it, it being thought that it ought not to go forth to th; public mail after the execution.

The Sheriffs, Under-Sheriffs, and other of the muni cipal authorities, &e., entered the prison by way of the Justice Hall, between seven and eight o'clock. and, on visiting the convict, he made his grateful acknowledg ments to them for the kind attentions they had peel him during his confinement ; indeed he seemed grateful to every one, and his steady conduct almost banished from the Minds of those who kept watch and ward over him, that he was a convicted murderer. At a quarter to eight o'clock a great number of re porters were admitted into the Chapel-yard, contiguous to the room in which the convict was with his spiritual advisers, and with whom he had partaken of the Sacra ment. The Sheriffs entered about the seine time, _at tended by several Aldermen and gentlemen. . Al the deck struck eight the Sheriffs proceeded from thE con demned room, attended by their Under-Sheriffs and several persons of distinction. Then folloWed the Reverend Ordinary and on his appearance, in the yard the prison bell commenced tolling, which was a signal to the dense crowd outside the prison, and caused loud vociferations of " hats off," which could be distinctly heard in the prison-yard. The prisoner then made his appearance, walking with a firm step ; he looked down cast, but not despondingly. Immediately that he passed the wicket to the avenue of the prison, leadingtothe wind ing passage, there was a general rush made by those present, whereby some of the Aldermen were prevented from gaining admission, and confusion, and cries of " Shame, shame" were loudly uttered. The Reverend Ordinary at length commenced reading that portion of the Burial-service beginning with" Man that is horn of • , a woman hath but a short time to live, and is f ull of The Marquis of Noernanby and Viscount Melbourne misery ;he corneal up like a flower, and never coetinueth had audiences of the Queen on Saturday.

EXECUTION OF COURVOISIER. (TINS. DAYS) Th's morning at eight o'clock, Francais Benjamin Courvoisier, the mulLrer of his venerable master, • Lord WiLiain Russell, expiated his crime, as far as such crime as his can be expiated in this world. Long before midnight last evening groups of persons_ began to assemble in front of Newg , lie, anxious to secure good places to witness the appalling drama which was about to be enacted. These groups, as the morning approached, became more and more numerous, until at length they coalesced, and at four o'clock formed a deiise mass of human beings, extending from St. Se pulchre's - church to the gates of the 0:d. Shortly after two o'clock the workmen employed- in the erection of the gallows commenced their operations, and at halt after four had completed their horrid task. Persons now began to flick in great numbers. At five o'clock the street was crowded, and the windows of the houses opposite the prison were all occupied. In one was seen the fashionable exquisite with the opera glass at his eye employed in attentively scrutinizing the preparations going on for depriving a fellow-creature of his existence ; while at another a man of a lower grade, with tastes more vulgar, perhaps, but most assuredly not one whit less coarse and brutal, was whiling away the weary hours, by having recourse to the solace of a pipe and a pot. The roofs of the houses were crowded with persons anxious to get a glance at the last. mo ments of the 'murderer, and even . the cliiieneys were. made to afford an unsafe, but eagerly converted, resting place to the more adventurous of these Gravers alter ex citement. As • the morning advanced the crowd, which had been during the night tciletiibly Quiet, began • to wax noisy practical jokes were played off, co rse and ribald jests were uttered, and roars of laughter were elicited in consequence;7not merely from the low vulgar who crowded the streets, but from the I .high vulgar at the windows and on the bouse-tops. It wes the farce before the tragedy. Among the crowd .were many well-dressed females. At the .wiadows were lads, some apparently not more than twelve years of age ; but all were gay—all were merry in auticipa- Lion of human suffering —merry at the thought of wit nessing the agony of death. If another fact were wanting to prove the brUtalising and demoralizing ten d.mey of public executions, we have it here. Would that those who conscientiously believe .n their efficacy as a prevention of crime had been present this morning to have beheld the disgusting spectacle which for four long hours we were unwilliegly _compelled to witness. The Rev. Mr. Carver, the ordinary of the prison, arrived at six o'clock, and imme diately- proceeded to the cell of the prisoner to admin ister to him that sp:ritual. consolation, of which in his :mild situation he must have stood in so much need. Shortly- after we were admitted within the walls of the prison. Oa inquiry we found that Courvoisier, whose firmness, which had never deserted him, astonished even those the most used to such scenes, had retired to rest last night at eleven o'clock, had slept soundly for an hour, when he awoke and inquired of Locke ind Sergeant the turnkeys in attendance on him, the hour of the night. On being informed that it was only *midnight,' he desired to be called at four o'clock, end was soon again s g soundly. At four o'cloCk, agreeably to his req st, he was awoke by the turnkeys, and on his rising commenced writing. He was thus occupied, we understand, on the arrival of the .Rev. Ordinary. At half-past six Mr. Newman, the principal turnkey, passed through the ward of the pri son in which we were, bearing the chalice towards the tell in which the prisoner was confined: After the sacrament had been administered to him,• breakfast was taken in, of which. we understand, he partook but sparingly. At a quarter before eight o'clock we verc conducted to the yard adjoining the eon ;teamed cell. The yard was crowded' with well dressed visitors; some of whom evidently belonged to (he upper classes of- society. We are sony to say that in some instances their anxiety to 'witness the prepares ! tions for the execution of the last sentence of the law on the criminal, led them to press and crowd noisily into the cell, utterly regardless 'of that decorum which all ought to observe in the chamber of death. The unhappy criminal, however, did not appar disturbed by this unseemly interruption, butseented totally. absorbed 'n attending to the exhortations, of the Reverend Ordinary, repeating the pray as after him in a low tone. Shortly before he was pinisned,* Mrs *.Sheriff Evans requested him, as we understood,• to write some thing on a paper. Courvoisier immediately complied, and with firm and steady hand wrote what he was re piested to write. This writing betrays nothing like agitation or nervousness in the writer, and cannot be listinguished from his ordinary:hand. At'eight'o'idock tile knell of the prison bell was heard, and the funeral procession of the living dead commenced. .Courvoisier 'ookcd pale but calm, and quite firm. He followed the Rev. Ordinary with steady and unfaltering step. The iirnbs trembled not—the eye. wandered not—the lip quivered not—beyond excessive paleness there was no outward appearance to betoken the agony within. Neither were there any visible signs of strong Mental ellort to suppress the outward workings of inward. anguish. The eye was not fixed, neither was the lip compressed. The countenance was-telm as that of a child. - As he entered the yard he seized the- hand of the turn key between Lis, and shaking it with great warmth, ex pressed by his looks the gratitude he felt for the kind ness he had experienced. -The procession then pro ceeded through the dark and gloomy passages of the prison to the place . of execution. The appearance of Courvoisier on the scaffold was the signal for a terrifUt' burst of execration from the assembled thousands below ; - t,e however. appeared totally unmoved by it, and stood tlrrnly underneath the fatal beam while are executioner proceeded with his dreadful prerarations. These were soon re a e n o d io a p it l e e t r e d a — f t e h fatal weconvulsivelro tnta was struggles withdrawn, the the spiritdrop f the murderer had left this world to meet the spir i t o f his victim before the judg,ment.:seat of God. A Correspondent states, that at the moment the cul prit was turned off a gang of thieves raised a cry of " Mad bull," which caused the , utmost alarm and con rusiOn in Giltspur-street ; the rush to escape exceeds description ; many hundreds were thrown to the ground, persons standing in light carts were overturned, 'and very considerable mischief and serious accidents occurred ; several persons were takea to, iintholomew's Hospital, having sustained fraetu7 - ea arms and other injuries.
