THR DOUBLE EXECUTION AT OFFANSBA.

A second edition of the Ciseetrime, which has been for-
warded to us, deeeribes the shove execution as follows .
The scaffold, which had been erected dam the previous
emeleg, wee placed to the south-west of the ,
dismay M the angle opposite the inftmery mod union-home
In tryst of this spot was an exteeelve larleMeld, and this
Ow.. together with every available inch of round on the
rend., the ennipike-roads, de., were covered with closely-
pecked spectelera, some of whom climbed up Isto trees, on
the loch el bares, sad other conveniences, in eider M obtain
• geed view ef the awful spectacle. BM emu whoa the
wretched men wrested the drop and met the pee ef that
met throng, they wen still marred by the eight of those
111,000 upturned hose—themaelvee the object of attraction.
Both apparently looked upon the some below them with but
little emotion. As soon as the men made their appearance on
the drop • subdued murmur ran through the crowd, but there
ware no cries or shriek' of execration, nor did the great
pressure muse any unseemly outburst of angry feel-
ing. The prisoners now stepped firmly forward and
placed themselves under the fatal beam. Caloraft, with pveat
coolness, then drew the white ca over the head, adjusted the
rope, and strapped the legs of first, and whilst
this was taking piece, Alepis was coolly and unmoved looking
upon the crowd. This executioner, however, quickly per-
formed the same ceremony with the other unfortunate cul-
prit. At ale memeat Selepatane stretched out his hand to
his wretched companion, which was shaken, making some
skirt ejaculations in the Greek language. Csleraft she
shook handl with the wretched toes, and whiled demand*
the drop, the clock in the distance wad heard to toll out the
hour of eight Precisely se the last sound was Ova, the
fatal bolt wee drawn, the platform on which they stood fall
from under their fest, and thus were they launched into,
Mornay. Aleph seemed to die almost without • draggle—
but with his enforemate companion delepatene it wee dif-
ferent, he heaved violently far some six or seven neoniesta—
het neither requited thst the executioner &mild pall their
legs in order te shortest the miserable eadatesoe.
" After the bodies had beim suspended the real time, one
hear, they ewe out dews end buried within the predate of
the prison."

A MAIMING TO WIXAEDS.—Signor Bosco, wizard,
b been for a fortnight giving exhibitions of legerdemain in
Leads. On Friday night he gave hie coescladlag performance
In the Music Hall end in order to attract a good audience, it
wee announced on the wells that 601. worth of jewellery would
be given away in different lots to the holders of certain tickets.
Some Yorkehlremen are fond of gybing mere than a shilling's
worth for a shilling; there was a good muster of this close,
the gallery being quite full. During the first part of the en-
tertainment the jewellery, consisting of an elostro-plated
service, a gold watch, dc., was exhibited ea the platform,
mad many longing eyes were dirostad towards it. It was
noticed that teeny policemen were in the Music Hall, end
that they entmed just at the time when the prime ought Is
be distributed. A magisterial prohibition had bens seat in
the wizard, to the effect that his ' prize scheme " was illegal,
and that if he penisted in being liberal be might be fined
1001., or be imprisoned for a period of nun months. The
police were in attendance partly to see the magistrates' order
obeyed, and partly to preserve the piece, an the general York-
shire objection to be hoaxed was well known. Signor Bosco
announced this prohibition alter the first part of the enter-
, hutment, and it was immediately received with every
demonstration of thamtistectioa. The occupants of the
gallery were loud and furious, declaring In no
very mild language that it was a swindle. Bosco ends*.
vowed to calm them by offering to give the jewellery to any
amity in Leeds, as a proof that " he did not want to obtain
!rie by hiss pretences.' This was replied to by cries of
Let's Lava oar money back, and cockatoo became worse
ccelounded. At last, Signor Bosco suggested that a jury of
twelve, with a chairman, should be selected front the audi-
ence, and that whatever verdict they might return he would
abide by. This plan wee adopted, four being chosen from
each division of the house. Amongst the jurymen we the
junior member of a noted law firm in the town, and also a
gentleman well acquainted with the judicial badness of the
Wen Riding. The jar, retired to the ante-room to euelder
their verdict, and the audience waited with clamant for
tamely an hour. At the end of that time the jury retareed,
and the foreman delivered the following verdict " That
agave Bosco, having been informed on the previous night
that the prize distribution we illegal, ought to have made
that publicly
_known before the entertainment orameemeied.
Having tailed to do so, the jury had decided that the mama
should be returned es follows —ls. 6d. each to those
ins the front mats; la. to each in the emond ; and 9.17 e%
gallery orru pants." The verdict was received with treaset-
dous applause, and being acquiesced in by Signor Bosco the
money was accordingly returned.
