Three- of the fishermen of FrastingS, who were
cast ashore on the coast of France, in the late storm,
returned-Safely home, with their boats 'and •niTt., a
few days ago: As soon as they landed, they waited
ppOnMr. MILWARD, and delivered to him a polite
communication from the Chief Magistrate of
Valery, informing him, that from motives of hu-
manity towards those. unfiirtnuate people, ...he had
applied to the Minister of Marine, and obtai-ied per-
mission for them to return to their own country, by
virtue oldie passport which they. would spew' him:
—that he bad used his best endeavours to alleviate
their sufferings, whilst they remained in hiS distri&,
and that he had refitted their hint, in which lie
hoped they would be safely carried back-to their
own home, being amply provided with every thing
requisite for their subsistence on the voyage."—The
whole,of this is fully- Confirmed by the testimony of
the fishermen, who are full of gratitude for the
kindness and attention shewn them by the inhabit-
ants of St. Valery.

Yesterday morning; at nine, o'clock, John Ala,/-
cock was executed on itle.platform at the top of the
New Prison, in Horsemonger-lane, ptirs,nant to b s
sentence at the late Kingston Assizes, for- the mur-
der of Mrs'.'Pooley:,—Tinesanie obduracpand insen
sibility to his fate, which this culprit evinced at the
moment of receiving Sentence, continued to mark his till' the last moment. Neither the en-
treaties of the Clergyinan who. attended him, nor
the repeated requests of Mr. IVES, the keeper, could
induce him to acknovOedge his guilt ; for he perse-,
vered.to the lagt in asserting his innocence, and a-
raigning the injustice of his sentence. Such
_were
the popular abhorrence and indignation, that shouts
proceeded from the multitude on his being launched
into eternity,
The gardener, found, guilty at Kingston Of-the
murder of his master, Mr:CI-LIVERS, has obtained
a respite. •
