Author of " Travels in Turkey, Egypt," &c.
" The portraiture of Turkish life and character which
this work exhibits has, perhaps, never been equalled. The
account of Mohammed Ali—the destruction of the Mame-

the Dervise, and of the Tabian Astrologer—are, indeed,
among the most plendid delineations ever introduced into
the pages of fiction."—Sun.

EXECUTION OF CAPTAIN MOIR.

(From the Essex Herald.)

CHELMSFORD, MONDAY NOON.
The ill-fated William Moir is no snore. The man who 60 lately
ranked with gentlemen, and trod the field of glory with unfalter-
ing step, has expiated his crime on a scaftbld by the hand of the
common executioner—a terrible example of the ifatal conse-
quences which spring too frequently from the indulgence of wild
and ungovernable passion.
He died bravely. He was resigned to die, though not indif.
ferent to death ; insensible to the dread of pain, though con-
scious of his awful situation ; and sustained throughout the last
dread scene, by the possession of qualities rarely to be met with
in such situations—namely, moral courage, united . to physical
powers of no ordinary standard. ' •
The hour appointed for the execution was nine o'clock; the
spacious area in front was then thinly scattered with spectators,
and a considerable number of the inhabitants of Chelmsford were
admitted within the walls. The Rev. Mr. Lewis,. the chaplain
of the gaol, visited Moir in his cell ; and•when he 'peke to him,
respecting his religious duties, Moir replied, " Sir, my religion
is honour, but I hope that I inn not unmindtbl of my situation."
Moir repeatedly exclaimed—" Let it be understood that I had
no animosity to the unfortunate man, it is that feeling which
now sustains me." When urged to proceed to the chapel, for
the purpose of taking the sacrament, he begged that it aright be
administered in his cell, as he wished to avoid a sight of the scar.
fold until the last moment. The request was complied with, and
he was then led through the yard to the reception cells, home.
diately below the platform, where Caleraft, the executioner, was
in waiting, and his arms were pinioned.
The Under-Sheriff, T. F. Gepp Esq., at half past nine o'clock
led the way to the platform, which the unhappy mail ascended
without the slightest indication of fear, He advanced steadily
to the front, and made a low bow to the concourse assembled
around the prison, and then calmly resigned himself into the
hands of the executioner, having previously shaken bands with
the under-Sheriff, Mr. Neale, the Governor, and several officers
of the gaol, by whom ha was surrounded.
When the noose was tied he said—" I bear no animosity to any
one—l die in peace with God and man—l hope that God will
have mercy on me, and sustain my poor wife and sister—and my
poor children." The latter recollection forced is sigh, but he
still stood firm, and inclined his head on one side, whilst the rope
was being adjusted.

The last words he .uttered were " God bleu you all," and the
cap being passed over his eyes, at a signal the drop fell, and the
world closed upon him for ever. No struggle, no contortion of
the limbs, marked his transit from time to eternity. A momen.
tary thrill of the extremities, with the heaving of the lungs, were
the only visible symptoms of sufibring. These were of short du.
ration, and in less than three minutes it was evident that
he was no more.

After the body had been suspended the customary time, it was
cut down and handed over.to the surgeon of the prison for dis-
section, but it is understood that the operation to be performed
will be merely sufficient to carry the sentence of the law into
edict, when the body will be given up to the friends of the de•
ceased for interment.
