A correspondent of the Preas thinks that the
constant repetition of the reports of want of unity in the COD'
servetive camp demands a public cootrediction ; and he
bep to repeat a proposal that the conservatives should give
a grand banquet to Mr. Diameli, at en early opportunity.
"Dot only to show their appreciation of his talented and
unwearied exertions is their cense, bat to afford a con-
vincing proof that the want of nuke exists only in the

The number of applicants yesterday at the count-
ing-house of Messrs. Robinson and Fleming to impact the
samples of prepared jute, miler the patent of Messrs.
Thomson and Co., of Dundee, was very greet. Those
among them who are woollen spinners are stated generally
to have expressed a decided opinion as to the value sod
adaptability of the m►terial for mixing with woollen manu-
factures. It is stated that the quantity of jute now afloat
to London is 4,342 tons against 5,157 at the correapooding
period of last year, and to Liverpool 3,250 tons against
2,456, so that the aggregate is almost exactly the same as
lat that period. _ _ _

THE EXECUTIONS AT KIRKDALE.

(num OUR OWN

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.

Wm. Robert Taylor, the murderer of Mr. Ryan
ace, of Manchester, and Ward, one of the murderers of
the whom:inn Jump, at Ashton-under-Lyne, were executed
• 110,111 today, in front of the gaol at Kirkdale, near laver-
,A. The intense interest excited by the tragedy in which
for and his wife had taken part, caused an immense
~course of people to assemble in the fields around the
▪ and all the efforts of the polite were required to
even au approach to decency and order.
is unnecessary to describe at length the
y.,711re and circumstances of the Taylor atrocities.
may state, however, that Taylor was the only son of •
teaalealer, living at I)unster, sod that he
%Ai• born on the 3rd of May, 83'24. He was at first
4,preuticed to a shoemaker, but his health failing he
.ctsequently was employed as a schoolmaster and com-
mercial clerk and traveller. In 1849 he married his first
wife, by whom he had four children, three of whom were
murdered under such mysterious circumstances in
Nixoehestter. His first wife died in ISM. In December,
Kill, Taylor was tried at Exeter for attempting to
procure abortion in a young girl whom he had seduced
and who was his wife's [Rade in her lest illness.
He was acquitted of this charge, and 1861 he married his
second wife, the daughter of a respectable farmer named
ides, residing at kiatberleigb. Not long after Lis marriage,
„ad when readies at Bideford, Taylor forged his father-in-
liw's name to an acceptance for 201., and the exposure and I
disgrace of this transaction ultimately mused his removal
to Manchester, where he commenced business as a pro-
vision dealer in Strangeways. Mr. Mailer, an estate
a4,ut., was the agent for the Straugewaya shop. On the
tali of January, in the present year, • boiler explosion
occurred on the premises and one of Taylor's children
was lulled by the accident. From this moment Taylor
,eenied to regard fdeller as the murderer of his child, and
Mel:er'a refusal to give any compensation for the accident,
aisl his subsequent distraints upon Taylor for rent, excited
thirst for revenge in the misguided mau'a breast, which
INS appeased only with the life of Mellor. nub'''s influence
met his wife was so great that she appears to have been a
casplete and willing tool in his bands from the first to the
}it of the atrocities in which they were engaged,
In the first instance the three surviving children
by Taylor's first wife were destroyed, as is now
;opposed, by the administration of chloroform, and then
TA,/ lor and his wife went to the offioe of Dialler, where the
unfortunate agent ass assailed by Taylor with • large
butter knife, sad killed upon the spot, seven or eight
wounds having beau inflicted in the vital parts, and the
bruit being cut right through. By the direction of Mr.
Justice Wilde the deaths of Taylor's children were not
entered into at the recent assizes, Meller's murder alone
forming the subject of investigation. The jury, taking a
merciful view of the wife's part in the affair, acquitted her,
but found the husband guilty of murder.
From his first committal by Me magistrates to the assize
trial, and after his conJemnstiou,Taylor persistently refused
to throw any light upon the mode in which the children
had been destroyed, while when the death of Metier was
alluded to he justified the part which he bad taken, de-
claring that Midler was in fact the murderer of Lis child, and
that hail he an opportunity he would do the same thing over
Neitber tbe expostulations and arguments of the chap-
laio, the Rev. Mr. Appleton, nor the kind and affec-
thaiate words of Mr. Wright, the prison philanthropist,
availed to soften the asperity of Taylor's demeanour, or to
bring him to view in a suitable manner the awful responsi•
bilities of his position. After his condemnation, it was his
etpressed desire that his wife should remain in Liverpool
until after the execution, but her friends strongly advised
bee to go at once back with them, and ultimately she con-
sented to do so. The parting scene between Taylw and
Li, wife was a most painful and exciting one, and after she
kft, until the day before his death. Taylor wrote to her
almost daily.

The crime foe which Burke and Ward were condemned
vas that of murdering an officer of the county constabulary,
earned Jump, at Aahton-under•Lyoe. Burke and Ward,
with six other men, had been engaged in the destruction by
night of several thousands of bricks which belonged to a
manufacturer who bad rendered himself obnoxious to the
union of which they were members, and it was on their
return from this act of spoliation that they were met
by the officers, and that Jump was shot. After
their condemnation both Burke sod Warde mani-
fested a docility and penitence which contrasted most
forcibly with the demeanour of Taylor. They were
attended with groat zeal and diligence—Burke by Mr.
Gibson (Roman catholic), and Ward by Mr. Appleton, the
ordinary gaol chaplain. Yesterday afternoon an intimation
was received by telegram from the Home-office that Burke
would be reprieved.
relcraft arrived last evening, and was regarded by the
crowds of people who even then bad assembled near the
i^,•l with that deferential horror which usually attaches to
Lis movements.

The execution took place a little after twelve o'clock in
the preenoe of an immense crowd, numbering 50,000 to
70,000. Both Taylor and Ward were calm and collected, and
%Merril ejaculations and engaged in prayer. Taylor bowed
three times but made no speech. Ward bowed and threw hie
c,p amongst the mob. Both men died without a struggle.
Ts) for has not left any statement, as was expected.
