EXECUTION,

Tuesday being appointed for the execution of the follow-
ing onfortunate delimptents, who were tried in December-
Sessions, viz. Mary Ann Jones, for forging a letter of attorney
for the transfer of 1.151. Navy Five per Cent. Annuities;
Charlotte Newman stud William Ilatchni in, tor rouging and
uttering several forged notes; and John Attel, for a burglary,
under aggravated circumstances ; at an early hone an im-
mense crowd of spectators, assembled in the Ohl Bailey, to
witness the performance of the last awhil ceremonies. The
unhappy malefactors have, since their condemnation, and
particularly since the receipt of the Prince Regent's war-
rant of execution. conducted themselves with mach becoming
fortitude and resignation. Doriag Monday night Hate Milan
and Attel slept nearly five hours, at an catty hour on 'fftestlay
morning, ate a tolerable hearty breakfast. The female cul-
prits were restless, and enjoyed very little sleep. Mary Ann
James admitted the justice of her sentence, but said she was
Jed into the commission of the offence. Charlotte Newman,
also confessed her guilt, but stated that ske was induced to
do it, in order that she might be enabled to go to Botany Bay,
to her husband, who, it appears, was some time since
transported for a siinitir offence. 'lle Rev. Mr. Cotton, who
had been with ;hem* an early liollr, in order to prepare
them for the ignominious end which awaited them, ushered
them into the press.yard, where they were disencumbered of
their irons. They appeared composed, and said they were
happy. Mateliman, however, manifested much agitation, and
said, in rather a tremulous voice," I have seen a great deal
of trouble in my time; thank God, however, it will soon be
at an end; it must be an easy death." The Sheriffs and the
Rev. Divine then proceeded to the apartment in' which the
femaleprisone es were confineil,auiltheyfostod them employedin
devotions of a sincere and truly repentant character; but as
they advanced to the fatal scaffold, their fertitude forsook
them, nud they were obliged to lie supported. The females
were first introihiced upon the platform. The male prisoners
were next bionght out and they both :wended the se:atoll'
with a firm step. if:au-Innen appeared awis,itm, to address

recognize amongst them any oh! acquaintance. The whole of
them continued in fervent devotion for about half a minute,
zoo, at half past eight o'clock. Mr. Cotton having finished
these words." la the midst of life we are in death," gave the
fatal signal, and thus their lives became forfeited to the of,
fended laws of their country. Most of the ropes were badly
adjusted by the executioner : it was the subject of com-
plaint ; and it was evident to the populace, who to ice re-
warded his inattention by loud groans and hisses t fliatuf
Hateliman was so badly contrived, as to nnatiitist the torture
under which he suffered. A few mutates before they were
hionclied off, Charlotte Newman requested Hatchniao to • sa- .
lute her, which he did. Ratelienau expired in great agony,
and the women were deeply affected. Their bodies were
cut down about half-past Mime o'clock.

mill of MCI'. ArkinsoisMlK:olite bridge, near Huddersfield,

DIME OF WEI.IOII4GTONI AT STRATIPIWIEDDRAV.—The
fallowing anecdote is so characteristic of the Dnke's rapid
mode, when his personal interests alone are concerned, that
we caning I efraia comuuseicating it to our readers :—Wbeit
he was last in England, a day-foes appointed for his inspect-
mg this estate. Aldhougb liel'issel,not promised to dhse with
Lord Rivers, his Lordship considered that the survey would
eeeupy two momingt, and, of course, that the Duke would
dine with him two dept. Lord Rivers was confined with the
gout ; but he invited all his neighbours for these two days,
made great preparations, and had friends to' do thehoueors of
his house, it he should remain anahle to do them himself.
ilia Chace left Hyde Park-coiner by lamplight, one morning,
and was at Steatbfielelsay early in the day. He begged that
horse might be lent to him, and that some of the seiwants,
who knew the estate, might accompany hint to see it. It
happened, that the only person thus qualified, who was at
hand, wasA coachman, of no light weight. The Duke gal_
lopped over the demesne, stopping a few minutes onthe spots
which he probably considered a% pelpitiems, and which studelits
of the pietnresque would call 'nations. He rebutted to the
house about two .o clock, with both the horses in a complete
lather, and the coachman nearly exhatisted, his carriage was
got ready, while he wrote a few lines to Lord Ri% em s, and at
eight o'cleek the same day his Grace sat demi *hit a party to
dinner in London.
