EXECUTION OF JOHN HANNAH AT YORE.

John Hannah, who was lately convicted at York,
before Mr. Justice Srle, of the wilful murder of Jane
Benham, of Ansley, war Leeds, on the 11th Serember
last, was executed on Saturday, at the scaffold behind York
Crude, in the meanie of 'ritual thousand opeoutors.
Haanak during his oontleement has spent his days sad
nights in anxiety. Is atteading divine ferric* daily in the
chapel be displayed considerable earnestness fa his religious
duties. Atter *Digging is pryer in his cell be would start
up sad exclaim .1 know I am guilty of taking the poor
woman's lite, and I wouldn't care for my owa life if I
could be quits sure of meeting her again in Rearm." Hie
seemed, however, to have gloomy forebodings on this point.
Bespoke several times of the crime for which he had been
condemned, but Invariably persisted that be did not meow-
dltaw the murder. . .

Os Thereday, being Christmas-day, there wee full divine
service at the chapel, when the condemned prisoner at-
tended...ad evinced much devotion. The Rev. T. 82ttin,
the chaplain, who ban paid unceasing attention to the
spiritual wants of the unhappy man sines his coadesanatioe,
preened an appropriate sermon on the occasion, alter whittle
he administered the Holy Sacrament, of which Hann&
partook. In the slur part of the day the prisoner sensed
peahen, and in a more satisfactory state of mind than he
was previously. He, however, .peat a very restless night.
The meat ensuing he was .1.15.4 by • sister, who remained
with Ina In the coadeosed mil for goer or fin hours. In
the nurse of the interview, Hannah reverted to his trial,
end dismissed the evidence that was adduced against bin
ea that occasiot with some pertinacity, and espreseed a
feeling of viadietinaese towards one of the witnesses. His
enter eapostulated with him in reference to the language to
which be bad given utterance, suggesting to him that the
nprenico of each a feeling was not accordant with the state
of mind a man should be in who was oa the verge of
eternity.
The culprit, during the last week, wrote two letters, one
to his father and mother, and another to his twin brother.

LONDON, MONDAY,

le is by degrees only that we 'hall know " the
truth. the whole truth, and nothing bat the tenth," of
the War in the Crimea and the Naval Campaigns
in the Black Bea and the Baltic. Until that time
arrives all the•' prominently concerned snit septet
• cariosity on the pert of the public which, though
it may be inconveniently insatiable, is sevegtheless
very natural and proper, in a case which es deeply
001101111111 the hoooor of England. Hens every
authentic contribution to the history of the war
continues, now that the war is over, to attract almost
as much attention, and to raise ea mesh dimmable, as
It did during the progress of hostilities. People
Seel persuaded that, however prolific and esperaband.
ant the literature of the war may have been, they
do tot yet know the whole truth, and that they
sever will know ft anal the principal actors them-
selves speck out atd tell frankly their story of the
events in which they took part. Gradually their Asti.
nab silence will give way to their desire toasted well
personally in the estimation of their country and et
posterity. Already, indeed, the ice is thawing a
little, and a small bet pithy pamphlet low been very
egret ally prepared, and put into "private circulation;
explanatory or the brief command of a diatingsshed
dicer, who has hitherto preserved the most perfect
eilecos—Vice-Admiral Dune DVXDAS.

This document has every claim to authenticity.
The Writ!r is a general (Soar of distinction, merit,
and experience, who, during the period to which he
0.31180410 his narrative, was ea a visit to Admiral
Domes, on board the flagship Britannia, sod who,
to use his own language, " could sot fail of bsisg
sequaiated with the occurrences here related, as
they successively took place." Nor, we may pregame,
mold the guest of Admiral DIINDAS have
printed this statement of those oesurresees without
the full approbation of hie friend and heat.
Substantially, then, Admiral DUNDAII himself mat
be coosidered to have adopted sad to be responsible
for the sanative bread by the General Mose, who
aim vouches for all he says by appending his Dams
to the title-page of his pamphlet. "Merl mere,"
he saye, " might have bees added?' sad the day will
come when all title aboard mystery and eseravy,
ezenteed by ti. pc seat obligatioos of moddeaco, will
be abandoned. Until then we mast do our best to
taderstaod the ores by these eoessiosal sad partial
revelatioas.

There are !lure principal points la Admiral
ocsamand of the Black Bea Fleet cm w►ich
explanation has always been much wanted. The Arm
is the pert he took in the Confereea held at Versa es
the 26th of Aogost, 1864. Lard RAGLAN had, it le
known, received isirrections urging in the stresgeer
baggage an invasion et the Crimea and the
siege of Sebas►opol; and thank Mamba. Br.

Due DAB'S friend says, is leas striagent terms, sad left
Dim a larger discretion than was left to Lord Raat:ax•

leen sod anxious." The expedition was regarded by
Lord RAGLAN and Admiral DUNDAI as Muse of the
most imminent bascrd," and on these grounds r—Arstr
The mibd fora was not woe; iamb by ene.hati
seem& the period of the year was adrenal; third,
only nue-half of the Ingll4 battering train bad

meshed Varna; berth, 116E141i/eh fare was manttly
onpplt•d with the metes of laid traneport, and the
/French had co wield transport imitable for the con-
veyance of troops; Mat, then was "a total want of

or of the laud robe— of fiebeidepol.
All thew eseelderatiese presented thoweelves teem Wag
of Admiral Dudes bat be coneldwied the qeseden se s

Gaunt' was is fauna of the espedltles, he ameeerielly
stated that the Boat wee fully impend to foamy tie Smash
army to, sod lend it at, whatever plat the debarks*e
should be Jeterudned apes•

So, with inadequate means of land transport, with
only half their battering train, and with " a total
want of information " on the part of the English
force, the expedition sailed—Marshal ST. rtarcittn,
however, we are informed, breaking faith with the
English oommanders, by leaving Baitchick Bay two
days in advance of them. Transports the French had
Lou.; and " so crowded were the line-ottattle ships
of our AM's, that, had the Russian filet at any time
of the voyage quitted their harboor, the contest must
have been sustained by the English ships, of which
only one line of-battle ship was a steamer; not a
gun could have been fired from the French linrof-
battle ships." The convoy amounted to several
hundr.4 transports, fall of troops, without the means
of defence. Admiral DONNAS kept exclaiming to
his friend, " If the Russians have the spirit of mow
quiton, they will now leave their harbour and try
the issue." The Russian Admiral did indeed urge
Materathron to be permitted to risk an engagement.
But the expedition escaped that danger.
Its destination was the Latch' river. Half way
over, however, occurred " a remarkable incident.• A
sips! was made from the French flag-chip that
Marshal Br. ARNAUD, who wee too unwell to move,
wish, d to roster with Lord RAGLAN and Admiral
DUND4II. They repaired to the Ville de Paris in the
Carsdoo. Bat, while Marshal ST. ARNAUD was too
ill to move, Lord Recurs could not go into the
Valle de Paris to consult with his military colleague;
and when Admiral RUNDAS entered into ST. AZ-
NAVD4 cabin, there he found the Marshal speechless
from pain. All the Marshal could do was feebly to
point to a paper on the table, which the Admiral
found to be unsigned, and without any reuse to
show from whom it came. No conversation could
be held, no explanation could be givers, so deli-
beration or consultation could ensue. All the
Admiral could do was to read the mysterious paper.
It urged that the /Catch* river wee a hazardous place
for debarkation, that the English press bad disclosed
the plans of the Allies to the enemy, t4t the season
was too advanced for the siege, and that the Aurigae
were powerful in cavalry. "From these considers.
tions (concluded the paper) it was necessary to re-
consider the measures to be adopted."

Admiral DUNDAS returned to Lord RAGLAN in the
Cersdoe. He at ones asked Sae very natural question,
from whom this strange document proceeded. No
reply oould, of coarse, be made, and another "long
and anxious debate" ensued. The result wee that
Lord Recut( positively refused to abandon the expo•
ditto', but agreed to reconnoitre the tweet from
Espatorla to Sebastopol foe • totter point of de.
barkatlo•.

♦ispy of the paper wu denisadid, bat was sot saber-
fluently aff oded. Aorordingly, Lord !Legion, Sir Jobs
Burgoyne, Others' Cearobert, ita, proceeded to the Neat

the allied Scots, with the transports, were at saebor—a
singular 'putsch ! • rut nary at •aehor is as opea ea,

How well the troops were landed at Old Fort, the
place at lut selected—bow effectively the Seat acted
on the Russian reserves at the battle of the Altar
aad how admirably it assisted end received the
wounded, will never be forgotten.
The landing brings es to the second point in
Admiral DUSDaII'S rwmuand on which explanaties
has been rurally thought to he necessary. Why
after landing the array, did not the allied fiesta pre
ceed to the estrum of the harbour of Sebastopol,
and attack the live Russian Sac of-battle ships sad
two frigates which had been moored outside the
boom, extending from Fort Conatantins to Fort
Alexander ? This has always appeared the Mat
great mistake of the naval operations, and all the is
given on it is the following:

No doubt that consideration would have been
irresistible had the allied fleets not been suffi-
ciently powerful both to set sea bees of operations for
the allied troops on shore. sad to ►ttack the advanced
division of the Russian fleet; and on thin point the
Admiral's guest and friend appears to have his own
mints : .

The delay oompletely altered the whole fate of
thiage. For when, two days after the battle of the
Alma, the "Allied Admirals had determised to
attack the Russian ships moored across the ►arbour,"
o• that very day the Runless, anticipating as attack,
which was is the natural cones of hostilities, had
nettled the vessels is readiness for balsa soak, sad
"a lookout steamer sow brought intelligesee that
this suicidal opacities was actually canted into
effect." Why Admiral DUNDAR'S friend should
call so Onion • Roans of dentin " suicidal " es
the part of the Russian passes our comm.
bunion. That it was provoking and disappointisg
to the Reglish fleet we can readily imagism; indeed,
at Met the Admiral would set credit the news, ud
est off in the Farina to manias for himself. All,
however, that he saw was the tope amid tontheada of
the nukes ships funning a dotted lie•, "Thew,'' ex-
claims the General Officer, " this was the sar•l enter-
prise frustrated by • sakddal ast of the Russian."

- This is hardly the ossolasion history will come to.
It will be mach more inclined to toaciade that It
was delay, over tepid for the safety of the army,
and delleisney in that spirit of enterprise which had
in other wars distinguished the British navy. which
wrought as en irreparable misfortune at the very
oommeneemest of hostilities.
