THE

THE CONVICT PALMER.

CPRONI OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)
STAFFORD, FRIDAY EVENING, 8 o'CLOcK

A stranger entering this town to-day would little imagine
that so dire and dreadful a tragedy was to arrive at its close,
as will be, without doubt, by the execution of the unhappy
and wretched culprit Palmer. The town's people during
the whole of the morning pursued their ordinary avocations
with undisturbed solidity, the tradesmen seemed as busily
°ccnpied as usual, the carriages of the aristocracy and gentry
of the neighbourhood are "shopping" as usual. The front

of the county goal, a narrow circumscribed space, as yet
does not exhibit the dread apparatus of death, and the only
indications of the coming spectacle are those supplied by

the busy carpenters " closing rive

D" to secure the tem-

porary erections in progress for the accommodt ion of the

spectators, whose presence is looked for from the Potteries
and other districts of the county, at an early hour to-morrow

morning. In anticipation of the advent of an immense con-
course of strangers flocking into the town, the publicans and

shop keepers are erecting to

reception of g

to an extent to

Drary booths for the

dela their ordinary

appliances are insuffi

ent. That a vast influx is expected

is amply indicated by the subjoined precautionary notice
extensively placarded by the Mayor of the borough and his

brother magistrates t

" The mayor and magistrates of the borough of Stafford

hereby give notice, that on Saturday morning next, for the
purpose of preserving peace and order, and guarding, as far

s possible, against accidents, the police have received

to prevent all young persons under the age of
14 from moving in the crowd; and they also suggest the
propriety of all females abstaining from any attempt to
approach the county prison, 'as the risk of personal injury
from the pressure of a multitude of people will be very
great. The mayor and magistrates likewise request that
any persons who may intend to erect on their premises any
platform or other standing places for spectators will give
notice to the mayor not later than 10 a.m. on Friday next,
in order that he may instruct the town surveyor to inspect
the same with a view to guarantee its stability, and the town
surveyor will thereupon sign a notification which may be
affixed to the erection. The mayor and magistrates further-
more advise the inhabitants not to leave their houses in an
unprotected state, such occasions being sometimes embraced
by professional thieves to commit felonies."
It cannot be deemed that this is a wholesome notice, and
it is to be hoped the advice so wisely tendered will be
obeyed. The good denizens of the town are quite alive to
their own interests, and are large in their demands for
accommodation. In this great rivalry exists, and invitations
are now placarded to solicit customers. A gigantic poster
announces " A good view of the execution to be had at the

Carriers' Arms, —Sash-street ;" and this may be taken as a
specimen of similar productions. To add,by way of climax,
a company of strolling players, in anticipation of securing
crowded audiences from the influx of strangers into the

town, actually commenced a " season" of a week on Mon-
day evening, with true Adelphi diableries.
Is it not heart-sickening to have to record such a state of
feeling ? However guilty the criminal, it shows great
debasement in the public mind that they should flock in the
expected thousands to witness the expiation which the law
inflict upon that criminal.
In the afternoon the town began to fill with numerous
clusters of well clad men, many of them from the neigh-
bourhood of Rugeley, the late residence of the convicted poi-
soner; and, as I have already said, the town is expected to
be inundated by mobs of the lower orders from the Pottery
districts.

But I have run astray from that most important con-
sideration to which every humane and Christian heart is
directed. Has Palmer made a confession ? The reply is,
that he has made none, and further, that none is expected
from him. It is also said, that Palmer has refused all
farther interviews with Mr. Thomas Wright, of Manches-
ter. The ground of this interdiction is alleged to be, that
the philanthropist has pressed the delinquent too hard to
make a confession. Yesterday, the wretched man was
visited by his two brothers, Mr. George Palmer, the
solicitor, and the Rev. Thomas Palmer. • The final interview
between the unhappy relatives, was originally appointed for
noon to-day, but, fur reasons not assigned, it was po,tpoued

until the evening. What took place I have not learned,
beyond the fact, that Palmer aiheres to his declaration of

inno3ence.
The executioner, a man named George Smith, from
Dudley, has arrived to fulfil his loathsome office. I hear
that Le came into the town incognito, in a bother's cart,
instead of by railway, in order to avoil the mob which had
beset his abode in Dudley. _ .

The arrival of every train adds to the population which
Stafford will hold to-night, and as I have already hinted,
to-morrow's dawn will bring its thousands, up to the hour

when the execution is to take place.
I have omitted to mention, that although the drop is not
actually erected, it is ready prepared in a coachbuilders
yard adjoining the prison, and will be brought out to its
position shortly after midnight.

Correspondence from Turin represents the Mazzinian
party as agitating very actively rich a view of compromis-
ing Piedmont.
C ItYSTAL PALACE. —ONE SHILLING DAY, THURSDAY,
JUNE 12.—Admissions on payment, 5,433 ; ditto by season
tickets, 554 ; total visitors, 5.987.
The Risorgintento of Turin of the 9th announces that
subscriptions have been opened in every part of Piedmont
for the relief of the sufferers by the inundations in

France.
Prince Soragni, president of the court-martial at Parma,
has resigned, on account of his inability to reconcile his
duties as judge with the requirement of the Austrian mili-
tary authorities.
DINNER AT THE MANSION-HOUSE.—On Wednesday even-
ing, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress entertained, at
the Mansion house, a large number of distinguished guests
to meet the presidents of the learned societies and 'a
lite-
rary party.
VESSELS AND TONNAGE.—By a parliamentary return
issued yesterday of the number of vessels and tonnage
entered inwards and cleared outwards at the twelve principal
ports of the United Kingdom during the year 1855, it
appears that 24,006 vessels of 6.372,301 tonnage entered
inwards, and 22,863 vessels of 6,426,566 tonnage cleared
o twaris. _ _

With respect to the Church-rate bill, the Leeds Mercury
says :—" We understand Sir 'William Clay has received
satisfactory assurances of the disposition of the government
to expedite this measure, and that full opportunity will be
afforded to the Lords, should they desire it, of incurrinc, the
odium of its rejection. It is probable that the bill will be
brought into emnmitlee next week."
THE EMPEROR'S CATECHISM.—The Gazette of Lucerne

announces that the Emperor Napoleon is about to receive
a present of a certain interest for him, namely, the cate-
chism which he studied in his infancy when he resided
with his mother at the chateau of Arenenberg. The book
belonged to the Abbe Diesel, who died some time ago at
Ermatingen, and he preserved it as a precious relic. It
is his family who intend to offer it to his Majesty. Marks
indicate the quantity which the prince had to learn as

a lesson.
It is not unusual for the students of the Scandinavian
universities to pay each other every two or threw years
international visits in corpore. Such an international
visit takes place this year from Denmark and Norway to
the two Swedish universities of Stockholm and Upsala ;
and preparations for the reception of the visitors are now
being made, as they are expected to arrive in the course
of next week. The number of Danish students who take
part in this fraternisation is 228, and 233 from the
Norwegian universities. There are also 130 coming from
Lund.

THE HERO or KAns.—An effort is being made in South-
ampton by the mayor (Mr. R. Andrews) and corporation to
induce General Williams, who is now sjourring at Paris, to
select Southampton as his port of deharcation on leaving
France for London. In order to ascertain the gallant
Genera's intention, the town-clerk had proceeded to France,
and will make General Williams fully acquainted with the
wishes of the municipal authorities of that port. A letter
has also been forwarded, inviting the gallant veteran's
acceptance of a grand banquet, to be prepared in honour of
his return to this country, should he sect this route.
THE LATR PRO•;ECUTION UNDER TTIEI EMIGRATION ACT-
-At the Police Court, yesterday, Captain Dyer, Govern.
ment Emigration Offic9r at this port, stated to the bench,
that it would be recol e.cted he had, some short time since,
prosecuted a person named M'Keown, for acting as an
emigration agent in this port, on behalf of Messrs. Saville
and Co., of Liverpool, without authority from these parties.
A fine of £2O had been imposed upon the defendant, on that
occasion, but he (Captain Dyer) had since learned, that Mr.
APKeown had written authority to issue tickets for passen-
gers, by a vessel called the Empire, for which the Messrs.
Saville were agents, and that they had his name posted on
their bills in Liverpool, as the party authorised to act for
them in Belfast. Mr. Tracy said he had now no power
to revise the decision he had made ; Mr. M.Keown, how-
ever, might have a legal remedy against those parties
for first having denied that he was their agent,—Belfast
