EXECUTION OF LIEUTENANT GAMAGE.

DIAL, Nov. 23.—The execution of Lieutenant Gamage, for the
murder of a £erjeant of Marines, on board the G iffon shear of war.
pursuant to the sertence 'of a Court Martial, took place this morning
at ten o'clock, on board that ship. Ile bore his fate with manly for-
titude. About eight o'clock he was attended by the Clergyman, and
remained with him till about half-past nine, when the proce-sien began
from his cabin to the platform, from whence he was to be launched into
eternity. The Clergyman waked first ; then Lieutenant Gama:ec,
attended on each side h 3 two friends, officers ; several office:s followed
afterwards ; every one present was deeply affected at the unfortunate
fate of this young Gentleman, the ship's company particularly. Boats
from the different ships attended, as usual, round the execution, ai d
the same sympathy and pity was observable in each—" God receive
his soul," frequently burst forth from different stamen. lie hawed
and thanked them two or three times, as I understand, and seemed
deeply affected with the sympathy he excited. One letter I have
received, says " that he spoke shorily to his own crew, warning them
to beware of giving way to sudden passion." As soon as he reached
the platform, he- prayed again with the Clergyman, and precisely at
ten o'clock, the signal gun being fired, he was ran up to the yard arm,
amidst repeated exelamatinus from the seamen- of " God •-bless and
receive him !" Ile appeared to suffer but little.
Previous to the execution, an appropriate Circular Address was sent
by Admiral Foley to every ship in his fleet.
The body was brought on shore for interment at two o'clock, and vr,s
received at landing by Pcrrer Dower, Esq. Governor of the Navy Hos-
pital, who, with a number of Naval and Military Officers, attended this
unfortunate young Gertleman's remaiile,to the burial ground at the
rear of the Naval Hospital. where they were depasiied. Captain
Trollope, and the Officers of the Griffon, with several of the crew,
were present.

Friday se'nnight, about 5 o'clock, as one of the passage boats which
pass from Mutton Cove•quay, Plymouth-dock, to Cremid Passage; was
endeavouring to head a Portsmouth sloop that was going o'.t of
Hamoaze, the bowsprit of the latter passed through the sail of the
former, and in a moment the boat was shivered in an hundred pieces.
There were on board 11 women, the two boatmen, and a boy. The
most dreadful shrieks instantly announced the unexpected catastrophe,
and a number of boats polling to the spot, with a promptitude that
deserves much praise, the whole were preserved from a watery grave,
though the tide was then running down with such velocity through
Hamoaze, as nearly to sink the buoys.
A Coroner's Inquest was held on Thursday morning, at Over, on the
body of Mr. Robtrt Ayers, who was found drowned in a large pond
in Over Park. It appeared that the deceased lived on ill terms sith
his wife since the month of June last, in consequence of his having
become violently attached to a young woman of Corsham, Wilts, and
that in consequence they agreed in September last to separate ; on
which occasion the young woman came to reside with the deceased
The fever of Mr. Ayers's passion having, however, subsided, he was
seized with an extreme remorse of conscience. and unable to endure
his reflections, he arose on Tuesday morning soon after six, and having
tied his hands to prevent his swimming, threw himself into the pond,
where he %vas found soon after seven o'clock. Surgical aid was
fuediately obtained, but proved meffectual.—Verdict„ Lunacy.
