LATEST MANCHESTER BETTING.
The latest betting in our city found Buckstone, Hurri-
cane, and Old Calabar in force for the St. Leger, the
prices quoted being accepted freely about each of them.
Less than 3 to 1 was refused about the Marquis ; and
the only outsiders in demand were Johnny Armstrong,
Biondella, and Warminster.--Little business was done on
the Great Yorkshire Handicap, but Haddington had
decidedly the call of Dulcibella for this event. Closing

EXECUTION AT LIV.ERPOOL.

(BY UNITED KINGDOM ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.)
The following appeared in a portion of our impression of
Saturday evening :
The extraordinary interest felt in this execution was
proved by the fact of the gaol being visited on Friday by a
larger number of persons than had ever been known previ-
ously. Several hundreds remained on the spot during the
whole night. The crowd was not at all confined to the
lowest class, there being several well-dressed gentlemen,
and even some of the other sex—all of whom, to comfort
themselves through the somewhat chilly night, were hud-
dled together among the warm bricks in the kilns hard by,. Every point commanding a prospect of the wretchel same
was crammed with the boisterous mob. Taylor still re..
mained obdurate to the earnest ministrations of the chap..
lain, the Rev. Mr. Appleton, but as the fatal moment
approached he seemed to relax into a better frame of
mind. Ward was thoroughly resigned to his fate, and
seemed quite penitent. An immense number of labourers
and operatives apparently from the vicinity of Manchester
and Ashton were present, and we saw many of them who
had walked all the way from those towns to witness the
execution. By half-past 10 the crowd had reached fully
50,000. Several of the worst class amused themselves by
singing ribald songs, and cracking vulgar jokes, having a
bearing upon the occasion, whilst a few infatuated, but
doubtless, well-meaning individuals in black, improved
upon the opportunity by distributing religious tracts, sing-
ing melancholy hymns, and addressing the populace ; their
solicitations were, however, unheeded entirely. A strong
body of police under the charge of Mr. Superintendent
Ride were upon the spot. People continued to pour in
with such rapidity from all directions that at 12 o'clock it
was computed there were fully 100,000 persons in front of
the drop.

In shocking disregard for the awful position of the two
men who were about to expiate their crimes on the scaffold
the motley throng was swayed to and fro by the horrible
levity of thousands who seemed to appreciate the exhibi-
tion as an exciting show. Loud shouts of laughter, in-
human gibes, not of hardened men, merely, but of showily
dressed women, too, rose from the dense multitude. As
the dreadful hour approached, these scenes became less
boisterous, and a feeling c,f awe seemed to creep involun-
tarily upon every one present.
Shortly before noon Calcraft, accompanied by the Go-
vernor, Captain Gibbs, Superintendent Ride, and other
officers, came out upon the scaffold. The old executioner,
who seemed ashamed of showing his face, having
found that the arrangements were satisfactory, re-
tired amid loud shouts of derision. Contrary to ex-
pectation the great bell was not tolled, and it was seven
minutes past 12 when, without announcement, the un-
happy criminals, pale and pinioned, stepped out upon the
drop. Now every voice was hushed—there were gibes no
longer. A sickening and painful sensation overcame all sub-
ject to human feelings. Beside the poor fellows stood the
chaplain and gcvernor of the gaol, Mr. Thomas Wright,
the prison philanthropist, and other gentlemen, whilst
Calcraft, with business-like alacrity at once set about draw-
ing the white caps over the pale faces of the condemned,
and adjusting the ropes. Both men appeared in their
ordinary clothes. The appearance of Taylor had undergone
no perceptible alteration since his trial beyond a slight
twitching of the features and hands which appears natural to
him. He was perfectly cool and self-possessed, clasped his
hands, smiled at the throng, and bowed lowly and frequently
as well as the manacles would allow. Ward was as cool as
it is possible to conceive. On meeting the eye of some
comrade in the front he nodded to him familiarly, and then
looked around as if to find some other friend. Calcraft
was busy with the ropes while Mr. Wright addressed a
few earnest words to the culprits, and the chaplain real the
usual services with loud emphasis and solemnity, the re-
sponses of Ward being heard distinctly, at a distance of 50
yards. Then the bolt was drawn and the condemned
murderers were launched into eternity almost without a
struggle. A fierce shout of execration greeted Calcraft
on the completion of this work. We understand that Taylor
has made no statement in reference to the deaths of his
children further than that they were not occasioned by
chloroform or wet cloths, but by some simple medicine,
which caused no pain. He has not been visited since the
departure of his wife, but she wrote him daily up to Friday.
Ward was, on Friday, seen by his wife and two children,
and the interview is said to have been of the most heart..
rending description.
