EXECUTION.-(THIS MORNING.)

This morning the last and extreme sentence of the law
was carried into effect against Thomas Sales, aged 27,
who was convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessions of a
daring burglary at Epping, the country residence of Mr.
Bowles, the print-seller, in St. Paul's Church-yard.—
The entire particulars of the atrocious facts con-
nected with this robbery have already been fully de-
tailed. Since the committal of the prisoner he never
seriously entertained the least hope of mercy, although he
in many respects acted as though he was morally and
physically certai❑ of long life. After the arrival of the
awful warrant of death by which his days were num-
bered, he became more taciturn than formerly, but he
nevertheless manifested no symptoms of real penitence. He
would listen with profound attention to the voice of his
spiritual instructors, but he seemed to be a complete
sceptic. The Governor of the Prison observed this
morning, in the hearing of persons in attendance
for the Press, that he had never seen a person
who appeared so callous in regard to a future
state as this unfortunate young man, whose conduct
in other respects was uniformly good. There were some
matters connected with the robbery which he has ex-
plained, and it is due to him to observe that he has made
every disclosure in his power. In consequence of
something which he has thrown out Mr. Bowles is
likely to recover a favourite time-piece—but the cul-
prit acknowledged that the portrait of Mr. Carver,
the late partner with Mr. Bowles, was burnt, with
some papers which are said to have been of great
value to Mr. Bowles, jun. This morning, at an early
hour, the unfortunate man was visited by Mr. Cotton and
Mr. Baker ; it was left entirely to his own choice whether
he would take the sacrament. After the nature of it was ex-
plained to him he did so, but it would be almost overstraining
a merciful opinion to imagine that he derived any consola-
tion. At a little before eight o'clock both the Sheriffs, their
Chaplains, and one of the Under Sheriffs, arrived at the
prison, preceded by their officers. The prisoner was then
brought down from the upper to the lower room; he ap-
peared completely abstracted from every earthly considera-
tion ; his countenance was florid, his step steady, and his
muscles firm. When the officers were tying his wrists, he
said in a low voice, " Don't bind me so tight." Mr.
Baker whispered to him that the Sheriffs had kindly
enquired after his welfare, and desired to know whether'he
had any wish to communicate. He shook his head, and
then raising his eyes to the Sheriffs, gave a nod of apparent
gratitude, and immediately afterwards the melancholy
procession advanced towards the scaffold, the Ordinary
reading a portion of the burial service, and the
prison bell announcing that the culprit was ad-
vancing toward it. As he passed through the inner lobby
he shook hands with several turnkeys, and on his arrival
at the lodge he was ushered to the scaffold, when, by
the expert movement of Calcraft, the new executioner, the
earthly sufferings of the unhappy young man terminated.
He bad an uncle in London, a rich West Indian merchant,
who used every effort to save his ill-fated nephew, but in
vain. It appears that a few days since a person ena-
moured of the convict, in a fit of phrenzy, took a quan-
tity of vegetable poison, and now lies in Guy's Hospital
without hopes of recovery—this fact was concealed from
the prisoner.

THE ENSUING SESSIONS.

It will be seen by the following statement, that the Ca-
lendar is not only numerically exceedingly heavy, but that
the crimes of an unusual portion of the offenders subject
them, if convicted, to the last penalty of the law, there
being no less than 72 charged capitally ! There are of
this number 28 for housebreaking, and 20 for stealing in
the dwelling-house—a dreadful increase when compared
with the corresponding session of last year. It is also
lamentable to observe, that there are no less than 61 pri-
soners charged with stealing from the person, or what are
techically termed street robberies.
