EXECUTION.

-•••■•••••..
On Wednesday, at the usual hour, J. Cadman, Geo.
Sparrow, J. Toply, and G. Ellis, for uttering forged 51.
notes; W Garton, fur stealing in a dwelling-house;
\V. Harding, for sheep stealing; and G. Smith and 1.
Cabelia, for highway robberies, were executed, porsuant
to their sentence, in the Old Bailey. At hair past seven
the unhappy culprits were brought front their respective
cells to the press-yard, to undergo the last awful prepara-
tions for the scaff dd. They entered, accompanied by
Mr. Cotton, the Chaplain; the Rev. Mr. Baker, a Dis-
senting Minister; and a Jewish Priest, the latter being
engaged in administering the consolations of religion to
Cabelia, who was of that persuasion.
Josiah Cadman was the first who advanced to the
block, to be divested of his irons, &c. and during the
ceremony he conversed freely and with cheerfulness with
Mr. Sheriff Uarratt. Ile said that, perhaps, he ought
not to complain of his punishment, nor was he inclined
to do so; but he could not help thinking his case a little
hard ; and he hoped that he and his companions would
be the last who would stiller for this species of crime.—
He spoke of his wile with the utmost affection, and said,
Ins only consolation in leaving her thus wretched and
forlorn was, that she would have time and opportunity
to prepare herself fur the world of eternity, where he
hoped, with humble confidence, to meet her. When
his irons were knocked off, he said—" Now my bundle
is gone; I am prepared•"
The other culprits were engaged in earnest prayer and
religious conversation with the reverend gentlemen while
they remained in the press-yard ; and all being prepared,
they were conducted through the passage to the outer
room, preceded by the Sheriffs and Mr. Cotton. Cad-
man having shaken hands with Mr. Baker, and bid a
respectful farewell to the Sheriffs and other gentlemen
present, ascended the scaffold with a slow but firm step,
accompanied by Mr. Cotton, whom he joined in prayer
while the executioner was adjusting the rope. A partial
groaning was beard in the crowd when he appeared, but
he shook his head as if in disapprobation, and it ceased.
Sparrow, who was a fine looking young man, and
genteelly dressed, next ascended, and a loud and univer-
sal groan, arid cries of "Murder!" were sent forth by
the multitude.

The other convicts came out in the following order:
Topfey, Ellis, Garton, Sinn h, Harding, and Cabeha.
Topley and Garton went up three or our steps at a
jump, and set toed but little affected. Ellis, who was
of respectable connection•, had conducted himself with
becoming firmness and tesignation up to the moment
when he was summoned to the scaffold, but then his
courage seemed to forsake him; he trembled, and it
was with great difficulty that he mounted the steps, sup-
ported by an officer. Sonic water was brought to him.
—While the executioner was performing his duty with
the other prisoners, Cadman addressed the people at con-
siderable length, and with much earnestness. The pur-
port of his observation was, that he thought himself
hardly dealt with by the Bank, inasmuch as they had
suffered infinitely i;reater offenders than himself to plead
to the mint), offence; and many who had even been
capitally convicted had afterwards had ti.eir sentences
commuted to transportation for life. He dwelt upon
the circumstance of his having made: a faithful this.
closure to the Batik-officers of all lie knew concerning
the traffic in forged notes: and said,that althuogh he knew
he deserved the punishment, yet he could not, eien iu
his dying moments, avoid remarking, that he was most
unjustly dealt with. lie repeated his hope, that he
should be one of the last victims offered up iisr this kind
of offence; and earnestly entreated those around him to
benefit by the awful example now before them. Hav-
ing concluded his address. which was delivered in a
manlier which proclaimed the man of talent, he turned
to the clergyman and resumed his devotion. Mrs. Cad-
man has been allowed to see hint every day, forme
hour, since the order for his execution. Their final
interview on Tuesday evening was truly heart-rending—
Mrs. C., as we were informed by a gentleman who was
present, appeared ahnust mad—her eyes seemed literally

starting from their sockets, and she was taken from him
in a state of insensibility.
The case of the prisoner Harding excited much con.
miseration : he was 67 years of age, and not long since
was a respectable farmer and brewer in Oxfordshire,
and had property to the amount of 4,0001. or 5,0001.
Ile was a venerable looking man, and conducted himself
with great propriety. As he was about to go to the wig-
NM, he exclaimed, " Olt, my poor children!" and the
tears trickled down his cheeks. His wife and children
took leave of him on Tuesday, and the younger ones clung
to hint and uttered the most piercing cries. They were
literally torn from him by force.
At a quarter past eight the fatal signal was given by
the Chaplain, and the drop fell. The men appeared to
suffer but little.

ing becomes a necessary as.well as a fashionable acquisition.
