EXECUTION OF KAMP AND CALLO-
WAY, AT WARWICK, FOR BURGLARY.

At eleven o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning
these unfortunate men were launched into eternity.
They were convicted at our last Assizes of burglaries
at Teddington, Berk well, and Balsall, in this county.
Since their condemnation they attended with great
propriety to the opportune advice of the chaplain,
and Kamp died repeating some scriptural passages.
It appears from the confession made by Kamp,
that they had been concerned in most of the daring
robberies in the county. Kamp first commenced his
career of crime by robbing his master, Mr. Bil bury,
of Wootton-grange, of a .51. note, for which offence
lie was tried at Warwick Summer Assizes in 1827,
and sentence of death recorded againsthim,bat it was
afterwards commuted to one year
simprisonment.
Calloway was conked once in the House of Cor-
rection for poaching, and in consequence of his good
behaviour was appointed director of one of the prin-
cipal prison rooms.

POTATOE-ONIONS.—WC lately had occa-
sion to mention some of the valuable properties of this pro-
He vegetable, but its excessive productiveness was not
then known to us. We have since been informed by a
correspondent, that a person named SAMUEL CLEMINSON,
of Upper Beckstones, in Millom, planted nine potatoe_
onions last year, which, when at full growth, produced
no less than 21st. 1211,5. of excellent bulbs, in every re-
spect equal to the best of the onion tribe under the most
favourable culture.—Camberland Packet,

In a libel case of OTLAIIERTY v. SMITH,
tried at the late Galway Assizes, Mr. Siassa was spe-
cially engaged for the plaintiff, and addressed the Jury in
a style which seemed to make a great impression on the
Court. He wound up his speech with the following
Both to my client, to this poor, unfortunate man, who
stands in such fatal need •f all that the most affectionate
diligence of love—of all that the most assiduous care and
fondness, can do for him—to the desolate, the deserted,
the —.Oh ! gentlemen, rightly was it said that we
were pleading for his life. I protest to God that I feel at
this moment as if I saw the dungeon opened, and behold-
ing his adversary dragging him to the place of incarcera-
tion, stretched out my arms, and invoked you to his as-
sistance. Ssve him ! save him ! ! I implore, I beseech,
I could almost fall down on my knees, and clasping my
hands, supplicate you on his behalf. (The solemn and
energetic manner in which this appe,d was made seemed
to make an extraordinary impression on the Court.) I
call on you in the name of every principle of justice—of
every precept of Christianity—of every instinct of hu-
manity—to rescue your unfortunate fellow.•creature from
the grasp of a remorseless savage, and to do that which
will he a source to you of that luxurious sentiment which
follows the performance of a noble action, while you live,
and to which you will look back when you are dyin with
the smile of consolatory consciousness which is sure to
attend the recollections of the merciful and the retrospects
of the good." Verdict for plaintiff-1,0001. and 6d. costs.

OPATA DANCE.—On the first day of the
year, a certain number of highly-adorned damsels dance in
a circle round a pole of about twelve feet high. To the
top of the pole are fastened as many long strips-of different
colours as there are ladies, each of whom holds one of
them in her hand. Half the number of females dance to
the right, the other half to the left, passing each other
right and left alternately, so that in a certain number of
revolutions the pole is completey covered with a varie-
gateffplatting which most ingeniously conceals the wood
and presents a particularly pretty appearance. The party
walks to the tune of a song composed in honour of the oc-
casion. The poet considers the seasons of the yea; as
dancing with great harmony and regularity, and lie repre-
sents them as contracting and expanding their influence.
Thus, when the pole is entirely encircled with the platwork
the dancers are then confined within so narrow a circle,
that their charms can scarcely be seen, and the seasons are
therefore said to be wound up. But as the damsels pro-
cee.l to undance the platting, the circle widens, their beauty
and graceful figurer delight Ilse 13.,!110;r4e:, and the seaomi
are said to expand and extend iheir influence. over the whole
globe —llarclis.Tr arch in Mexico,
