EXECUTION OF PEGSWORTH.

A little after seven the Sheriffs and Under Sheriffs arrived
at the gaol. Pegsworth approached the Sheriffs' officers, and
underwent the dreadful preliminary of pinioning with great
nerve, but one or two deep sighs escaped him ; upon the whole
his countenance evinced a cheerful but solemn resignation.
At eight o'clock the death-knell sounded, and the procession
moved solemnly to the place of suffering. As soon as the
executioners made their appearance on the scaffold there was
a clamour in the dense and curious crowd, and the cry of
" hats off" llecame general ; but we beard no expression of
disapprobation in respect of the criminal. When he arrived on
the scaffold the Rev. Ordinary continued to read a portion of
the funeral service, after' which he bade them a final adieu.
In a few minutes the man ceased to live. The crowd around
the scaffold has never been erceeded in point of number since
the execution of Bishop and Williams, the "barkers," and the
windows of the houses opposite to the scaffold were occupied
by persons of both sexes, some of whom spent the whole night
in the vicinity of the prison house. The body of the convict
will be deposited in the avenue which contains the ashes of
Thistlewood and his confederates.

The number of registered electors for the first year,
for both divisions of Suffolk, was between 7,000 and 8,000.
Since that time the number has gradually increased L and the
registration for the last year gave 6,278 electors for East Suf-
folk, and 4,959 for West Suffolk, thus exhibiting an increase
in four years of between 3,000 and 4,Q00 electors to the con-
stituency of the county.—Suffolk Chronicle.
The tides in Holland, on the 23d and 24th ult.,
rose to an extraordinary height. In certain quarters of Rot-
terdam the waters reached to within six inches of the tide in
1825, which was the highest ever known, and which occa-
sioned very considerable damage. It was also felt at Dor-
drecht, where several houses, mills, and other buildings, suf-
fered severely. In the marsh of Ramsdonck, a barge contain-
ing 14 men was upset, and 10 of them drowned.
It is stated by Mr. Murray, the chemical lecturer,
that if linseed oil comes in contact with cotton, it will occa-
sion spontaneous combustion.
" I cannot," said Lord Collingwood, " I cannot,
for the life of me, comprehend the religion of an officer who
could pray all one day, and flog his men all the next.

The town council of the free Hanseatic city of
Bremen-on-the-Weser, after disclaiming any countenance of
the slave trade for a long time past, has formally declared' its
adhesion to the resolutions of England and France, with re-
spect to that infamous traffic.

A distressing accident happened to Mrs. Lumbard,
of Buddlewall, near Chard, on Monday last. Her eldest son
brought home a loaded gun and laid it on a chair ; two younger
brothers were playing together, when by some means one of
the little fellows fell on the gun; it wont off, and the whole of
the contents entered the breast of the mother. A surgeon
was sent for, but there are no hopes of her recovery.—Somer-
set Gazette.

Captain Sir E. Parry, R.N., the newly-appointed
Inspector of Post-offiee steam-packets, came across from Pe-
naghadee to Portpatrick, on Sunday last, on a tour of insp!o'
Lion. On Monday he visited Cairn-Ryan, in company with
Captain Little, R. N., the Packets' agent at Portpatrick, for
the purpose of reporting on the relative merits of that place,
and Portpatrick as a packet-statiou. Sir Edward was de-
lighted with that noble sheet of water, Loch-Ryan ;
having ascertained the depth of water, set of the tides, ste'"
other particulars, he at once pronounced his opinion, that
there could be no question as to the Cairn being the most
eligible place for a packet station. Indeed, it seems now to be
pretty certain that this transfer of the station will take place
almost immediately.—Glasgow Courier.
