EJECTMENT.

A large concourse of people hae. assembled in the Adelphi, ill
iceeral wys. drawn tosyther by the fallowing unusual eirciitistaucvs
A at. use, situated at the comer of listekoigham-strtet, is ocLup-ed
w some persons, whom the owners have endeavowed to ej.ct, hot
ntim:rut without success, notwithstanding every process of law has
'peen Ma Mil tO, and every stratagem devised for that purpose. The
.iOnse makes a singular appearance. ail the windows, ext.epring (ma
,n the tirst flour. being shut, and every article of furniture removed ;
while there are several officers stationed in various parts of it, to take
staht advantage of any movement the present occupiers may Mad.
eertent4 make. At the window, nut fastened up. are seen two
respectably dressed females, who, it is reported. have maim:lMM
themselves in this unpleasant situation against their adversaries 1.4
mote thin a firtnight, exposed to the greatest privations, with half
the window.frame removed. From the strictness with which their
motions are watched, it is almost impracticable for either to !procure
rood for their support ; but this great difficulty has hitherto be.:n
surmounted by the humanity of several individualc, who convcv
food to the prisoners in baskets, which are hastily drawn up by Means
I strings thrown in at the window, and when emptied. are lei down
again. Drink in bottles has also been conveyed in a similar manner,
as a'so wearing apparel. Fur what period this atlair is to continue it
s impossible to conjecture, as the females appear not at all distiesseA
by their cootinement, and are as well supplied with provisions as the
nature ut their situation will admit.

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

CONDUCT AND EXECUIION OF Bowl ER.

Within a few hours only of his fate, did this unhappy iiidividtml be-
e me sensible of the momentous circumstance) in which he stood, and,
accordingly, hopeless of a rcproeve. lie clung slit to life. nor thought
50011 to die. His friends had buoyed .bitu tip (and themselves too !)
with the flattering expectation of his being eventually exemptid In m
the sad exit that actually awaited him. Even his own servant., so late
as 'lloursday. positively said that their master would nor stiffer !
Anticipating pardon. rather than prepaiing for dying. there seems
cause to fear that the mind of Mr. Bowler was not religiously recon-
ciled to his do oni ; especially when it is known. that, even t • the I.,st,
he declined participating in the Sserament. Perhaps he grew finally
indifferent to his sentence. There certainly was manifested :hat strange-
ness in his conduct, which outhouses the suppositio., that he had not
been rationally occupied in contemplating his approachin, end.
Precisely at twelve iriuutes past eight o'clock. on Friday morning
last, Mr. Bow Lin, conformably with the warrant 1... r his execution,
stepped ron the scaffold, before the Debtors' Door, No•wgate, arteoded
by the Ordinary. He was habited in light drab-coloured dual s, sur-
mounted with a sourtout, and a silk handkerchief about lib nt ch. Both
his stockings and gaiters were black. Verging on seventy yea.s, his
vet erable appearance did not fail to excite and produce s% mpathy.
His knees, moreover, shook much. lie Blanc- toixe, indeed, down
' towards the numerously congregated crowd, with a look, %Holy xacant,
that might indicate stupefaction of mind ; but the cap heolig off thwith
pulled over his face, he seemed to rec."gnose his situation, and to give
some alttlitioll to the exhortation of Dr. Ford.. Launched at last into
eternity, he remained suspended for the usual period. Though ratner
robust for his age, he did nut suffer greatly ft OM whet are termed dyn.g
throes. Property was here ingudicient to rescue the clammy hands of
Mr. Bowler. damp with time sweat of death, from beiog applied to the
curing of persons who still place an Imaginary faith its the agonised
dew of dissolution!
