OLD BAILEY—(Tms DAY.)

This morning the RECORDER passed the awful
sentence of Death upon the following thirty-four
unhappy criminals, viz.
Richard Mitford, for forgery ; Wm. Adams, for cutting and
maiming; Samuel Wilson and Isaac Knight, for horse-steal-
ing ; Wirn Callaglme, for returning from transportation ;
Charles Robinson, Josh. Mackrell, rhos. Hays, Edmund
Mustoe, James Simpson, 'William Williams, Joseph Wil-
liams (brothers), William Corbett, alias Watson, Joseph
Corbett, alias Watson (brothers), Frances Waddell, Mary
Gingell, Daniel Cotterell, John Brown, Alexander Brown,
Frank Purdow, and John Bridgman, ftv.stealing in the dwel-
ling-house ; William :Redding, Stephen Toole, Joseph I'artier,
Walter Blanchard (a there boy), and John Roberts, for burg-
lary; John ,Levy, Robert Ramsey, James Gardner, William
Bright, George Wigginton, Thomas. Gordon, William Milton,
and Samuel Greenwood, for highway robberies.
The ItEcoaDER, In a most impressive manner,
exhorted Mitford and several of the other
prisoners to prepare themselves for the full exe-
cution of the law:

A most remarkable Escape from Azdesburg Gaol,
and subsequent Re-apprehension.
A desperate gang, consisting of three notori-
ous horse-stealers, have for some time been detained at Ayles-
bury, to take their trials on several capital charges, and had,
not long since, nearly effected their escape ' • but, on the morn-
ing. of Saturday last, about five o'clock, an alarm was given in
the prison that this band of ruffians, with one Cotes, under a
similar charge, had certainly effected ' their escape, and had,
by means of a rope formed of their bedding, descended
into the public street, half-dressed, on the market day,
and made off with great alacrity?, to the dismay of two
men who witnessed their surprising descent from the Up-
per story of the County Hall. An alarm was immediately
given, and the number of the pursuers increased every instant ;
neverthelesi the fugitives had not been much noticed, or their
route known, till they had reached the brewery of Messrs. Dell
and Co., where the strangeness of their dress, and half-naked
state, awakened the attention of those coming to market. Their
route was evidently part of a preconcer ed plan most ingeniously
laid down, and as ddkterously.as audaciously executed ; for at
Ford-lane, adjoining Bishopstone, a company of vagrants had
loitered for two or three clays, and by their talents in music and
mat-making obtained pity for their forlorn appearance from
the neighbourhood. The prisoners hastened towards this point
by the nearest cu•. The pursuers, 1 e tiled by Mr. John Gur,.
ney, of the Bell, Aylesbury, first di: C3vered and apprehended
M Isom, alias Cribb. He was found, h his party-coloured jail
dress, exteaded, hiding himself in a furrow drain in a field.
Cotes had, in the same quarter, 'secie ed himself in a hedge,
awl was ta'cen. Brown' alias Cribb (supposed to be Milsom's
brother) kept up with Banks, and made considerable resistance
before they were secured. On iheir ri turn, being asked how they
would have managed touching their irons, in 'case they got off,
their reply was very remarkable, viz. "Some hung. r y dogs would
gnaw them offin ten minutes." This, by those v. holiave been most
with them, is judged to allude to the company of miserable
wretches in Ford-lane, who would have sawed them off, and shel-
tering them in-their party, have hidden them till night amongst
the woods about Hartwell. On their return to their old lodgings,
they were strongly ironed togcfier in pairs, end new means de-
vised to defeat any further attempt, especially by seclusion
from strangels. On examining the Court of Sessions, and the
greater Court in the story above, wh mce the party had come
down in the surprising manner already stated, their simple in-
struments of escape were discovered. The first article was a
picklock key, fabricated in the prison of thick iron wire, taken
from the rim of a jail saucepan used among the prisoners.—
The next was an iron bar wrenched from the'r fire-place. With
the first they opened all locks that obstructel :hem, and with
the bar they forced a passage through the ceiling below and the
flooring of the hall, whence they came to the place of their de-
scent. It was remarked by a magistrate, that such ingenuity,
agility, and intrepidity, might, in a better cause, have been
eminently useful to their country; and well may we exclaim--
How fertile is ingenuity when urged by necessity .!—( Oxford
Journal. )
Last night, between seven and eight o'clock, an
inquisition was taken at Guy's Hospital, Southwark, before
THOMAS SHELTON, Esq. on the boclyof Longnor Lemon, aged
72 years. It appez:_ed that the deceased was a bricklayer, and
after brea'cfast yesterday morning, he was at work upon a scat.
fold in front of a house in the Waterloo 'Road'; the scaffold was
17 feet high, and by some chance the deceased fell from the
end of it upon the pavement, was taken up senseless, bleed-
ing profusely from the mouth, nose and ears, and was conveyed
to the hospital, where he died in ten minutes.—Verdict ac-
cordingly.
Yesterday, about eleven o'clock, as a Mr. Ed-
ward Rowbottom was passing along the banks of the Re-
gent's Canal, near Kingsland, he observed, on the oppo-
site side, a female of respectable appearance, with a child
about three years old. He had not proceeded far when he
heard a splash' in the water, and turning round he saw the
female struggling lin the water, and the child standing on
the brink. Mr. R. hailed ,some bargemen, and after much
difficulty they succeeded in extricating her. The unfortunate
woman was about the middle age, and far advanced in prig
mancy. She had a quarrel that morning with her husbai d,
who suspected her fidelity, which was the cause of her attemp
ing the rash act.—Mr. Rowhottom placed her in a coach ar d
accompanied her home to Sheppard's-walk, Bethnal-green,
where she was received by her husband and relations with open
arms.

state of health previous to the fit.

[THE TrnEs.]
The Paris Papers Of Wednesday, which arrived
last night, have brought no intelligence. There'are
in all the Jonrnals, accounts from Madrid, but
not, of later, lite _than those we have already
given. The kurniti des Debuts, bas given some
details respecting the Greeks, from the Oriontal
Spectator; but the events alluded to are prior. to
the alleged. defeat of the Mks in the Pelopon,
riesuS: The article itself uninteresting, and
the French , JOurnalist. Perhaps inserted it for
the .oppor,tunity it has afforded him of'making
some comments which he has appended in
tlie,..form of notes„ He ridicules the idea that
the Turks, in the ease of .their complete,
triumph, would: 100k,.t0. the advantage which
might be derived from the Greek marine, and
therefore refrain from destroying it. The
Turks, he observes, make no such calculations ;
and they are,. besides, counselled by certain
Europeans who like to see no marine,' either
military or mercantilei any where else except in
their own ports England (for it must have
" been already understood that we allude to.her)
4C has great interest in permitting the destruction
" of' the Greek mercantile marine, which con-
" sists of froM io,dpo to 112,000 vessels, and
.has
engrossed all the carrying track; of the Levant."
Such are the insinuation's which, with reference
to the Greek contest, now frequently find a
place even in •the most respectable of the Paris
journals.

[RRJTISU PRESS.]
The Paris Papers- to the. 25th bave arrived.
T.he defeat of the 'Turks, in two successive battles
in the Morea, which has been so long the subject'
of discussion, is repOrted in the Drapeazt Blanc,
with the important addition that the Greeks have
be-en masters of the town and citadel of Corinth
since the 21st August. The,Drapead Blain:, as
may be, inferred from its title, is an Ultra Paper,
of no friendly disposition to the Greek cause.—
This circumstance strengthens the credit due to the
intelligence, w Welt is also copied into the Moniteur.
It is likewise to beobserved in its support that the
intelligence comes from Y,enice. It ,has been
objected to the. previous accounts that they. had
been all derived from-the saMesOurce;and rested
upon a single atithority, viz. Captain Vidali, who
arrived at Leghorn from Spezzia with the Greek
bulletins, given in The. British Press of the 23d
inst.. The present account free from' that ob-
jection ; it comes through a new channel. The
news from Spain is in general of an uncertain
character. General Mina had arrived at Lerida
with an intention to attack the seat of the Ser-
vile Regency. -'Tie. Chief of Quesada's staff
boasted thatiP a few days
.they should. sing 'Te
Deuni in. Pampeluna. ,

[NEW,..frlmts.]
At an advanced hour last night we received.
the Paris Papers of Wednesday last ;but the in-
telligence they supply ivith respect to Spain and
Greece has been anticipated, end the domestic
news they contain has nothing to recommend it
to the attention .of the 'reader. Advices from
Augsburg of.thel9th of this_ month assert that
the principalities of Vv.Tallachia and Moldavia
still, remained on their. ancient footing, and
the llospodars, who left-... Constantinople on
the 25th .of August, last„ found the princi-
,•'
,pahties overwhelmed. with misery. It is added,
ihattthe Turks overran the country for the pur-
poses of assassinAtio,u,a,nd..theft.—Accounts from
Berlin of the 15th mention the rumour of a marr.
riage
,between the King ..of Prussia_ and the
divorced Queen of Sweden,-, who was formerly
the consort of Gustavus :the Fourth-; and it is
added, in corroboration, of this report, that his
. Prussian Majesty,: iu, his way. to Verona. will

pass through CarlSruhe, the usual` residence ofl
the Ex-Queen- and her Son, and that he will be
attended by M. de Witzlebec and M. Albrecht,.
It is asserted that the Spanish Government have
applied to the Court of Rome in order to obtain a
Bull of Sechlarization in favour of such persons
-who shall forthwith quit the nunneries and
cloisters on the assignment of pensions for life.
Letters Porn Vaucluse state that the vintage was
completed on the 10th of the present month, and
observe that the vines bordering the Rhine were
much superior in quality to the produce of Igll.
It is remarked, in a recent letter from Vienna,
that, notwithstanding the great circumspection
with which the Austrian Observer is conducted,
it has inserted a literal translation of the ani-
mated and loyal Address from the Regency of
Seo d'Urgel to King Ferdinand VII.

[MORNING. HERALD.]
It has been said that the Government derives
more advantages from the freedom of the Press
than the people. One of these advantages is,
that the language of the Press, where publication
is free, can never compromise the Government
with foreign nations ;—whereas in countries
where publication is under absolute controul, the
Government may be supposed to speak in every
Journal. There is, hoWever, a partial exception
where the Press is free—in the case of those
Journals that enjoy the patronage and are recog-
nized in some degree as the echoes of the Ministry.
These are supposed to utter the sentiments of
their patrons, and in some degree to compro-
mise them. How are we to understand the lan-
guage, which a Ministerial Evening Paper ap-
plies to the present Monarch and Government
of Spain ? Is it to be supposed that his Majesty's
Ministers sanction this patronized Journal in
calling the Government of Spain a band of
" rebels," " traitors," anirchists," "%Oast
that Government is in a state of amity with ours,
and whilst there is a Spanish Minister duly received
in London ? It is true that such language is not
peculiar to this paper. But the other soi•disant
Ministerial Journals which indulge in this gross
treatment of a friendly power, are excused by a
daubing style of declamation—a want of discrimi-
nation and taste, in the use of words and topics,
which can scarcely be urged in excuse of this Paper.
But that it misinterprets the sentiments of the
Ministers of this country, seems to us beyond a
doubt. Referring to Lord Castlereagh's protest
against the doctrines put forth by the Northern
Potentates, upon the violent occupation of Italy,
is it possible to suppose that the colleagues of
the Noble Lord could now abandon the very
principle which he then reserved ? He contended'
(as clearly as his peculiar style would admit),.
that nations had a right to "effect internal changes
in their political institutions—and that foreign
Powers should interfere only, when these changes
directly threatened them with danger.

[MORNING CIIRONICIA.]
If the Marquis of Anglesea should obtain the
Government of India, we may expect to see a
strange revolution either in the society of Cal-
cutta, or in the habits of the Noble Marquess.
We would not prematurely express an opinion
upon this subject ; but we cannot resist the
temptation of making a few, remarks for the
benefit of those by whose decision -our antici-
pations may be destroyed or con*med.—The
establishment of an " Almack's" at Calcutta
would be a most edifying improvement to the
society of that place. We understand, that at
present, the best society of Calcutta is com-
posed indiscriminately of all persons who have
the means to share its expenses, and whose edu-
cation, station, or character, give them the disk
tinctive appellation of " respectable." But a
man's respectability would, by a London 46 Fa-
shionabla Exclusive " be considered a most bar-
barous, vulgar reason fur admission into " good so-
ciety." Rank, ancient lineage, or fashionable noto-
riety, can alone preserve a respectable Gentle-
man and his family from being classed by "'Tie
Committee of AJmack's" amidst the ‘C Tag
'Rag and Bob Tail" of this low lived world.—
" The Bengal squad—nobody—some new people
from India—a bedizened Indian Queen—a
vulgar Nabob;" " Tag Rag and Bob Tail—
ppople whom nobody knows—impertinent up-
starts—black blood !" These are- the familiar
phrases of our fashionable exclusives, when
speaking of a respectable family from India,
the Chief of which has perhaps ruined his
hehlth and wasted the best years of his
life in banishment, and in the acquirement of a
fortune for his children by the exercise of his
talents,. industry and patience.—These exclu-
sives make themselves sufficiently notorious.—
We need but name one of them; but we do know
a f6mily, the members of which, men, women, and
children, may be considered perfectly pure and
fashionable par excellence, the stem and main
branches of real good style." The ititroduc,
tion of these polite refinements would be a pleas-
ing novelty to the Society of Calcutta, and its
members could not but feel grateful to the Hon-
ourable Directors for such an attempt to enliven
their dull and respectable amusements.

Almost everybody has heard the hacknied JOE
MILLER joke of the Irish footman, who refused
to tell his master's name, when he called at
the post-office for his letters. This, however
improbable, is -equalled, by the following lact,
which occurred in this country, not many years

ago :
A countryman, residing between Arbroath and Montrose,
was in the practice of depositing small sums occasionally in
the bank at Arbroath. At last, from some motive which he
deemed prudential; he conceived it might be as well to make
his next deposit in the bank at Montrose: He accordingly
went there, and handing a certain sum across the counter, in-
quired if they would keep that fothim ? "0 yes," replied the
banker : " What is your name ?" " What's your business
we my name, Sir—Just gi'e me a bit of paper," said the coun-
tryman, with an indignant air. "We cannot. give a receipt
till we know your name and place of abode," replied the
Banker. " Od, you're owre quisitive fo'k for me !—Provost
—of Arbroath never speers my name, ner yet where I
bide : Ile just gi'es me a paper at ance: Sae, Sir, either gee
me a paper, or my Biller back at ain, ony of them you
like." Would you let us look at one of Provost —'s
papers," said the Banker. "0 ay, Sir." A receipt from the
Bank in Arbroath was now produced : in consequence of which
they were enabled to give a proper voucher for the deposit.—
" Now, Sir, could ye no-dune that at first, an' 'saved yoursee a'
that fasherie ?" said the countryman, putting up his papers
without looking at theat.--(Edinburgh Observer..)

PIRACY AND MURDER.
(From the Jamaica Raja Cet-ctic of Ake. 3.)
The following affidavit details a most horrid
and diabolical 'att of piracy and murder. The
circumstance'- M been laid before the Admiral,
at which he expressed great abhorrence : he stat-
ed that the ,f4st brig of war he could get hold of
should be stationed in the quarter where the
piracy lvds committed ; and that he was in hopes
that some of our cruisers would capture one of
those scoundrels, to enable him to make an
example :
