were on their journey to London, in a chariot
and four, about three mites below .Marlborough
they were Met bra return chaise. A Gentleman
riling a young horse at the same time passing'be-
twien .the two carriages,.. his horse being mi-
ni mageable, ran against the chariot, and when be
fell, the wheel going over him, overturned it; ..Mr.
C. received no injury,, but: Mr, WYATT's head
coming with great violence against the side of tine
carriage or handle of the doOr, his skill'. was frac-
tured, which erntsed his death. An inquest was.
taken on the body on: Monday morning, .and a
verdict returned by the Jury----Areideatal Death.
The high reputation. of Mr. Wxivrr as an Ar-
chitect has long been ti tiversally known and ac-
knowledged ; all eulogium, therefore, on his pro-
fessional merits are nonecessary in this place. ;He
'displayed a taste for his art very early hi_ life,
and went. to Italy in order to improve himself by
an attentive study of the venerable and beautiful
ilemains of antiquity which that country pos-
sesses. His first great work after his return to
this country, was the PANTII EON, in Oxford-road, -
a work that immediately raise,d him to the top of
his profession, and he was in consequence patro-
nized by the chief of our. Nobility and men of opu-
lence. It would be impussiblo for us to enume-
rate the many excelknt works by which this gen-
tleman has adorned the country and improved the'
general taste., Though peculiarly attached to the
principles of Grecian and Roman Architecture, be
was also deeply skilled in that which, is nsually de-
nominated Gothic. After the fire by which the old
house in the Haymarket 'was destroyed, he.was
employed to convert the interior of the Paat,heon,,
into a Theatre, and one more beautifA or con-
venient, considering the space and the building to
' which he was obliged to.adapt his design, leas

by file, and we learned from 7.11 r. WYATT himself,
that he, never catered the walls to witness the

terations which subsequently took,placc.l He had
long been a mehiber of the Royal Academy,: awl

store harmony between Mr. kVt6T •and the Aca-

that Gentleman was induced: to • resunic it. Mr.
YATT was in private :life' distinguished for his
mild and gentlemanly triaMiurs,, 114 c Was an affec-
tionate husband and father, anti has'left a space
in sOcial circles, as well as in his art, which will
not easily be supplied: : •
It may be tttctitioned, that if Mr ''tifs'Arr• bad •
cultivated, his talents a's a Painter with as 'much
assiduity as he addressed himself to the science of
it is not unlikely that he would,ha;re
risen to equal eminence. • Time ore two paintings
on Architectural subi•cts at his house in town,
which have been generally taken .for the works
of, PANINI, and which may rank with the best
productions of-that celebrated Artist. •:•

A few nights since, Mr. Git.nata, a musician,
was robbed,of his watch and money by tWo foot-
pads, in Lincolo's-inuslields,,near the et,trance of

Ladies and Gentlemen !of rank, besides Megis-

crtt, that very few, except those Wilt) NSTIe served
with notices,..iitietv of,the tdatter, con.,
sequeotly there was uo crowd assenibled, as on
the. former eXaminations. All the :carriages
drove intP the yexil, andr retint:ned until near
four o'clock,. at which time, the examination H
closed.

Shortly before one. o'cldek, directions were.
given to conduct the7prisoner to the room, and
he soon aftmtwards nppearcd, attended by Bec.
kett, one, of the turnkeys of the prison. He had
only one bolt
.on Imis right leg, ancteame. forward
with great firmness. He is of the middle size,
rather thick-set, plump round :face, dark hair,
fredm complexion, fell . dark, eye, and eye-brows
meeting mates the nose ; tbe brow and foruituOil
ri'ther lowering, and the -expression, of the eye
forbidding.. He looked around hint on entering ,
the roomn•with much curiosity,, and, took his stand
in One conter, front whence he could see the wit-.
nesses;as they came forward., ,
The first witness called was ,Mrs.. Clifford, (or.
Mrs..4lourke) phe, was banded in by the Surgeon

stances of her arrival in this couotry, with the de7

Leary, the prisoner—of thFir simusequently taking,
lodgings for themselves in St. Ws's..., of

home and going to bed, and of her discovery em
the nousLr the next day. All this she now eon •
'firmed on oath, said she had uothing further to
add, and was fluidly bound over in a recogni-
zance of 411/. to give, evidence against the
sone,r, at the next Old Bailey Sessions, The Me-
gistrate directed it to be understood, that she was
not to be set at large untiltifter the trial,
She was regarded, doming her presence in the
room, svith great ,eurnestneis by the prisoner, but
by no means io a hostile mummer,
Mrs. Clifford had in, her arms a very fine child,
of which she had been delivered iii the HouSe. of
Correction. Iler other live, children,
,whom
the fur eltiesl are girls, and the youngest a boy;
were atoxt introduced. The two eldest gave a
clear and satisfactory an3wir to every t 4 testion,
asked ; the eldest in goou and time second
by weans ,of an intelpreter. Their answers agreed,
in every respect with time letter received from ire 7
land, and they also proved that their mother wits
at home on the night of the murder, ite. 11 o'clock',
and that site reap:tined in the room until St.
clock s ruck three in the morning.
The depositions of Willinnt Broughton, Daniel
Brewer, Robert Sbuttleworth, William Price, and
John Low, were' then read over to.them separate-,
iv. These, in substance, detailed the discovery of,
tbe. body of the deceased in a tined near NVelliug,
too--,quare; Of his hat, on which was. a
curd with a roaming noose ; his shoes, and a small
clasp knife, which proved to belong to the pa-
soner... They also Wefit to describe the appear-.
slices of blood at the etige of the pond, in which
time body was found, and of. marks in the earth,
which seenited to have been: made with one of
three. hammers_ that. were produced,--7
a shoemaker's hammer, :which was found, in
Leary's room--a ripping hammer, with which he
worked—and another, which he was also known
to)ntve bad in his Possessiou.—There was a dif-
ference of opinion, as to which of these hammers
the blows bad been indicted, with bnt:upon con-,
sideration of the wounds in the bead of the de-
ceased, the rents :in his hat, and the marks on
the ground, as well us :tope stains of blood
which imppeared, the most prevalent opinion
was, that the 'sliocumakeCs hammer was that ,
which had been tirade use of on this sanguinary
occasion. ,
The deposition of Mr, Llpporn, the surgeon,,
was next.read. llt, ascribed thealeatleot ClitiOrd
to the wounds on his head, which he described as
dreadfully fractured, and se4ned to think that
wounds had been inflicted .with time shoe-
maker's hammer, although either of the other bent-.
mers might have been used -for the purpose.. This
gentleman, with the others, , was bound over to
give evidence on the trial..
John Barnet, a salesman in Field-lane, proVed
that he had Soldthe hat found by the side of the
pond to the deceased, on the Sunday morning be-
fore his death.
William Slattery, of whose prevarication our
readers have heard, was then called, and the depo-
sition which he first Hanle was reml over,to lain
Ile tits previoe',ly ctuttioned by Mr. To met ON to
listen with attention, and to suggest any altei a-
tiunsr think prdper.
In his first deposition, it will he recollected,
that after detailin4 all he Lnew of Mrs. Clifford,
iivlrelaud, amid of her arrival in this country, he
proceeded to mention, that on time evening. pre-,
CetliWr .the, murder, -ImeAvlis present when Leary
and his wife called at Clifford's lodgings, and
whcil they awl Mrs. CliflOrd end the deceased all
went out together. He. ako went awaravith

collected her sitting on the bed, and Woliitlf a
and bore; testimooy to other facts which

iiartalreadybeeri detailed. Th is' deposit ion having
been finished, lie was asked whether it was correct?

llc answered in the negative, and was pi, ding
to enter lot() another statement, a d,
tion which hg had snhse.gaently made a$ r ,td to
him. in this,he stated, that the cirgnoritanee
which .Ikc formerly alluded, of Mrs: Cliff rd
turning how and sitting on the bed tasaiolte
her pipe, had occurred on some other night pre.

vioul ttletuurder, nod that on the night of

the murder Mrs. Clifford did not return lioitie uc
an to his knowledge, and he must oave known it
She did, for he should, have heard her. On his'

cross-e4antination„he admitted t. at .0 had been

awoke by Mrs. Clifford on Sunday morning, and

that she might, then have .left. or come into the
room without hii knowledge.. He, hwevever, per

sited that she did nut cone home• on the night of
the murder, although he might hcvc been asleep
an cl not hear her.

Mr.. TURTQN, directed that :this:titan's dein,si-
tibnsliould be retaken, and conclen)ed into a sh9rt

compass, for the consideration of the Coult of

Jgstice.

During this man's examination, Leary regarded

and he perspired violently._ ile cruse pertectiy

Joseph Becket's (a turnkey in the prizon) evi-
dence was then tead, and front it„ it appeared that
the prisoner had confessed the knife found by the
edge of the pond was his propet,ty.

tie.,,sed this, 'and Slattery drew the deceased by the
feet on the'triP of a little Mount, and rolled hint
over into.the pond.
Mr. "To atoN here observed, that this addition
to the chnfession of the,prisoner had been inAtle
iu consequence of ShMething whieli lie bud :,aid
to him about Slattery: Until he had reminded
the prisoner of Slattery, he dikt not give' the slight-

This he said was quite incorrect, he would not
sign it, and 'persisted to the truth of the statement,
he had last made,,whiab he signed.

The testimony Of a publican, named M'Carthy,
was now' read. Fl'Orti this' icappeared that the
prisoner sent for him, and he culled 'on him at the
office in illation-garden, on the dty'lle was first
examined. Witness had some cOoversation with.
him, nod said, "Yon have got into a pretty pre-
dicament—you Will certainly be hanged." The.
prisoner said, " Dti you thinicio ? I was at home
at ten o'clock." Witness asked him, if be bud
anyone to prove that fact ? and to this lie replied,
‘,‘ No ; there I am lost---without I can WI t vt
WAS .CO prove that,. I am undone', Witness
wised him to confess his crime ; and ',Ton askin&
him how he should get out of it I. he said lie did
not know, unless he .could fix it upon somebody
else, Witness asked him who he could fix it upon?
and he said he felt a hammer in Mrs. Clifford's
pocket, in the public-house. Witness said be did
Not believe him, and he went away.

Thistleton, who overheard NI conversation,
corroborated the testi►cony of APCarthy ; and o►n
being questio►►ed by the Nttgistrate, he said he hna
laid no design to. entrap the prisoner into any cone,
fesiion,

he was bailed by him front a ladder, and asked
for a job. lie bad not known him before ; but
coupling the fact of,his so culling him, with the
cireuwtanee of the persons who bad been in his
hotike the night before, hnd the ,mannet in which
the murder had been committed, be was induced
to think that the prisoner ‘‘ as one of the Mei) %Oro
had been-in his house. He tool; particular notice
of the woman ; and although he lout not seen
Clifford, -if she was the woman who had
been in his house, be bad no doubt 'he should re-
collect her.

Leary positively denied that he bud been in this
witness's house.

M. TunTox, however, in order to decide the
point, reple4tcd Mr. Adkins,- the flovernor, to
take \lr. Kilhbey into a room in which Mrs.
Clifford and other 'fernfiles were, and see if he
could select 11,er from the others.

This Adkins did,- and in tt short time re-
turned, and stated, that 111 r. Kif,l,cy had picked
Mrs. Clifford out (row twenty wou,on, and said
she was the
,womun who had accompanied the
incn to his house ; and Mrs. Clifford, on being
oskeil ‘vbether she had been to his house, said she

Much surprise was expressed at this new disco-
veiy ;, as, from the evidence hitherto received, it
appeared, that Mrs. Clifford had parted from her
bushand and Leary before they reached Gray's-
r. .
To elucidate the point,..towever, 'she was sent
for, when it turned out, that from the manner in
which the question had been put to her by
bey, she thotight be lir, s the landlord of the pub

with the eonsisteney of the Woman's story, and
apprehended -Mr. Kilsbey laboured under ki
take.

Mr. BARRY, Cnnnsel for Mrs. Clifford, observ-
ed, that it was easy far Mr. Kilsbcy to select her
from a hundred, as she had a black ribband round
her head, as a sort of mourning for her husband,
and had :dl the appearance of a woinan who had
lately risen from a bed of sickness, which Kilsbey
wen knew she had. • -

The whole of the . evidence being now gone
through, Mr. TURTON desired that Slattery and
Mrs. Clilrrd might be,detained until 'the trial.

EXECUTION OF LUKE HEATII.

[FARTHER PARTICULARS.]

On 7\ronday, .;t:'nnigitt, soon after twelve o'clock,
this e.buitial was executed at the drop, in front of
the County Gaol, Gloeester, for the murder of Sa-
rah Harris, at Cow-Iloneyborne, four years ago.
An amazing concourse of people attended to wit-
...uesa the . execution. After attending divine ser-
vice in the chapel,. and spending a comOderable.
time in prayer, he was brought out upon the seal-
fold, and ,seeined so completely overcome with
terror, that it wa., with great difficulty he conl4
twpport aapeai ed to shrink with hot-
' tor fro in the awful scene before him and, after re-
maining a very few Minutes in this situation, he.
tittered a short ejaculation, and was launched into
eternity. After hangipg the usual time,lils body was
cut down, and sent to the Itifitauary for dissection.,
The apparent indifference and want of feeling nla-
Difcted by this unhappy criminal', both during
the progress of his trial, and'at the dreadful mo-
• .
men utt of sentence btibt passed, have been for-
merly mentioned : on his return 'to the prison,
bow ever, after condemnation, lie evinced due con-
trition. and made an ample confession of his guilt.
The manner of his perpetrating the horrible crime
he stated as follows :--He had for sonic time kept
company 'with Cie deceased, antl,, muler repeated
promises of mai riage, had robbed her of her virtue
61e ~i'as sixmoitt Its advanced iu pregnancy. On the
night of the murder, he went, about 12 o'clock,
to her father's house, and called her out of bed.
She came down stairs dressed, but without shoes.
Some words passing between them, he struck her
so_ 'violently with a white-thorn stick on the bead
and temple,: that am, fell to the ground, crying,
" Lord have mercy upon its !?' He then (to use
own words), "with the assistance of the Der
vil picked her up., and carried heron his shoul-
' der to the pool of water., into which he threw the
body, .helievinK.there was then but little life left
