with observations. A paper was also read by Mr. Airy,

4STONISIIING AND HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE.

An American Paper, the Franklin Malone Telegraph,
Ftves the following account of the execution of Stephen
Wets, for the murder of Mrs. Fanny Mosely:—
While under the fatal tree a paper was read at his re-
quest. in which he asserted his innocence in the following
LIM

With regard to the crime for which I this hay suffer, 1 have
ail *remark, that I ern perfectly illllloolllC By whose hands the
,:-..oritinste Fanny klosely WWI deprived of life I do nut know :
kilns it was not mine' neither was I accessary to it; neither
vulture of du approsck of that uninippy event, but at the time
ins iesnul of the designs upon my own lite.”

A short time after, the rope was fastened to the beam,
ted the cep drawn over his face, he still persisting in his
imarte, and the drop fell. But, unfortunately, the
knot drew over his chin in such a manner as not entirely
to stop his breath, nor the circulation of the vital fluid ;
in this dreadful situation he struggled for several minutes
in the agonies of death. The paper containing his protest_
ekes of innocence he had declared his intention of holding
to his tight hand, when yielding up his life. This paper
he/bulged from his left to his right hand, when he had
hung two or three minutes, and waved it to the multitude
sith apparent design. The above is an extraordinary
Ptak, and we leave it for the reflecting to say, under
way eircumstauce, whether a man can be guilty who shall
sale that manner, and in that awful situation.

The fatal consequences of gaining. the inevitable min
skied it email, on those who yield themselves up to its de-
have long bees felt and acknowledged by all who
ht.: escaped its wretched fascination. To strengthen our
tiPeriencs, science had also explored this region, and the
most th<tinguished philosophers of mr.xlerli times, from
and Demoivre, to Gamier aml Laplace, have
cyneurred in determining as the result of the moat elabo-
rate analysis, founded on the simplest and most obvious
mks of human action, that he what gives himself up to
:ambling must is the long run be mined. The following
,;kisg detail% furnished by an ex-farmer of the Parisian
taming-houses, will throw a new light on this miserable
pursuit, and may perhaps produce a conviction of its folly
cid madness on some who are alike inaccessibleso the dic-
tates of scimee or experience. Into what a vortex they
