Exec trrtoer.—Tuesdav evening the Keeper of New-
gate ree,-ived a respite for 'Moines Bradbury, staving his
execution for a week, and on Wednesday morning
the other five of the unfortianste men who were ordered
for execution ty the Prince Regent st the Connell on
Saturday last paid the forfeit of than lives at the front of
the Illi•bt ar4' Dior. We never rector} such a fact with-
out shuddering—nut one of these sit tims of our 5411-
glllll2ty eritninal code,hail committed murder, only
crime which, by divine law, it is declared shall be
piinishei with death, and can human invention in the
nitieteemir ermine file! no punishment Sr vrre etiongh
short of death! The idea that puldie• executions act in
rer,vrern upon the spectators cannot weigh with any one
who has met the crowd returning from one of these
horrid exhibitions, for he must hare seen the undimi-
nished joke of ribaldry pinving upon those countenances
which had just Wit')V9o.(l the hairying of a set of miser-
eble sinners into the awful presence of an eteinal Judge.
) mitred we are convineed that the general feeling of those
who visit such scenes is that of commiseration towards
atry one who is thus deprived of life in omiosition to the
declared law of the Supreme Being. We hope some one
who hl4 the power will pursue the subject of ameiOra•
tin.) of nor disgraceful code of criminal law till he re-
nir.ves the opprobrium from oar nmional character.—
Tuesday the numerous friends of the unfortunate toot'
visited them in prison. and remained till three o'clock,
the noment appointed on such occasions for final sepa-
ration from relations sod all others who are deeply inte-
rested in the latent' those who are to stiffei. All the prior
creatures have acted, since the moment the Ordinary
told them what they were to expect, with great propri-
ety. Wright, who was convicted of a burghtry an the
house of Mr. Wilkinson, 6:messed an anxious wish to
'e his prosecutor, who immediately called at the prison
and was admitted an the cell, where an affecting inter-
view took place between them. Mr. Wilkinson had
used his influence to obtain a mitigation of NVright's
sent ace, and went in the coarse of yesteillay twice to
Lord Sidmnoth's office to learn whether any hopes
might be entertained that extreme punishment would
not be resorted tn. Upon heating that there was no
ehance,lVright said he never had expected leaitr, and
that his only view in troubling his pmseemor upon the

PCC,SIOII was the grct;fic.i t ion of his riot- a ire, who kept
hope full before her eves, chile even the shadow of it
did not remain. Jeffcot and Albin were occupied in
prayer a great part of the day, and in listening to the
cons'ilation :liven by some atd the groans uttered by
others of their friends. Ambrose was less prepared for
the shock of the intelligence communicated in the Re.
corder's Report. lie had been respitrtl, and persisted in
declariii; that lie had never fired at his prosecutor. The
cam of Bradbarv, who was convicted of having uttered
forged notes, excited during the day the greatest interest
at the Secretary of State's office, which Or. Cotton was
summoned to attend, in order to furnish intelligence
upon the solticct.
On Thins:lay afternoon a inellorboly accident happened
at the u 0.1111 of the. Don, by the u,rsetting of one of the
cables employed in the salmon hiking there, and on board of

praise worthy alacrity, rushed into the water, and succeeded
in bringing the remaining Inn of the torfort•mate people to

Arrester AT NI u RDER.—A. few minutes before nine

AMERICAN tosaPostToas.—We extract the follow-
ing from the New ILoopshire (United States) Oracle,
illustrative of the misiskta. of the American press:—
" The Editor of the Baltimore Federal Republican,
i nendinst to coutplinit.nt the Speaker of the liutise of
Assembly, made use of the word easy, as applicable t
his niamier of conducting the Ilouse: but his comp-
' die types, altered the word to lazy, for
paper has made acknowledgment. This
mistake which occurred in the United
when Congress sat in Philadelphia. Mr,
tde a speech on some important occasion;
name printed in common letters at die
':(lttur, marked in theproof "beet, to have
tet CAPITALS; erased the 'tame, and,
urinal's, wrote, " small cap." in the
compositor unused to his business,

and the speed} ran thus—' Mr.
