Yesthfratilieg Bite day appointed for the execution of
the Siffilietthe unfortunate delinquents, who were tried 111
December Seesious, viz. Mgr, Ana ./nares, for forting s
letter ef attorney fur she trausfer of 1151. Navy Five pet
Cent. Annuitim; *Charlotte A'enwea, and William lialeh-
maw, for (wiling and uttering several fur,red notes; and .lohlt
Afteljor a`burglitry moiler aggravated cirtunistences—at an
early hour an immense crowd of spectators assembled in the
Old Bailey to witness the performance of the last awful cere-
monies. We scarcely ever recollect to have seen a larger as-
ormblage ins any occasion. •
The unhappy malefactors have, since their condemna-
tion, and particularly since the receipt of the Prince Re.
geut's warrant of executiim, conducted themselves with
much becoming fortitude and resigantion. Musidoy
night, Hatchman and Attel slept nearly fire hours, and at
an early hour last murning ate a tolerably hearty breakfast.
The female culprits were restless, mid enjoyed very little
sleep. Mary Aun James admitted the justice of h.r aro-
Wiser, bid said she was lied into the commission of the
offence. Charlotte Newman also confessed her guilt, but
stated that she was induced to du it, in order that she might
be enabled to go to Botasiy Bay to her lonsband, she, it ap-
pears, was some time since transported fur a 'lay offence.
Shortly after eight o'clock Mr. Sheriff Alderson, and the
Under-Sheriffs, Messrs. Smith and HOllOllll, togeihir with
Lord Moebtford,.assd a few private friends of the Sheriff,
having arrived al the Seioions House, proceeded first to the
cell in Which Hatchnsan and Attel were confined. The Rev.
Mr. Cotton, who bad been with them at an early hour, id
order to prepare them for limit ignominious end which
awaited them, ushered them to the Press-yard, where .bey
were diseucessibered of their irons. They appeared cnn'-

potted, and said they were happy. Hatchinaii, bowels.,
manifested much agitatiuu, and said, in rather a tremulous
voice, " I have seen • great deal of trouble in my time.;
thank God, however, it will souls be at au cud; it must be
as easy.tleath."
The Sheriffs and the Rev. Divine then proceeded to the
aportment in which the female Primates' were confined, and
they found. them employed in devnt 1111 l • of a sincere sed
truly repenlaut character; but as Ilwy advanced to the fatal
scaffold their fortitude foisook them, and they were ohlic‘d
to he supported. The females were first introduced upon
the platform (the men, however, ought to be first, its they
have re power to stand the melancholy preparations.)
The male Prisoners were next brought out, and tiny Wait
ascended the scaffold with a firm step. !Lachman %peens!
anxious tg address the multitude, and lie often looked rotund
to see if he could recognise amongst them any is:d acquaint-
ance. The whole of them continued in fervent de-
votion for about a minute. and at kalf-past eight, Mr.
'Cotten having finished these words, " In the midst of life
we are in death," gave the fatal signal, add thus their lives
became forfeited to the offended laws of their country.—
Must of the ropes were badly adjusted by the tioner.
It was the subject of complaint • and it was evident to the
populace, who twice rewarded his inattention by loud
grams and hisses; that of Haldeman was so badly cue.
trived, as to manifest the powerful torture under which he
suffered. A few minutes before they were launched off,
Charlotte Newman requested Ratchtnan to salute her, which
be did. Heldman expired in greet agony, and the women
were deeply affected. Their bodies were cut down shoat
ball past nine.
