EXECUTION.—(WI NCHESTER, MARCH 23. )--Thir morn-
.ing (Saturday) Charles Smith, aged twenty-nine, 'Was exe-
cuted in this city for feloniously shooting at R: Siielgrove,
gamekeeper to Lord Palmerston. Great exertions were
made to procure a" remission of the sentence, but' the unfor-
tunate than himself entertained no hope of mercy after the
Judge left the town. Prom this time his thoughts seemed
to be withdrawn from the present world, and his whole at..
tention directed to the future. The value of early religious
principles was never more evident than in the case of Smith,
which,' however, they ' "may have been stifled for a time,
seemed to recur with increased force to render his sorrow
deeper, and his repentance more sincere. Seldom has been
witnessed more apparently genuine self-abasement, ac-
companied with a firm but unpresumptuous confidence in the
mercy of God through the merits of our Redeemer. The' sins
which he most lamented, and to which in a great measure he
attributed his melancholy end, were disobedience to parents and
Sabbath breaking. " Oh ! Sir," hams frequently said, (we
understand, to the Reverend J. O. Zillwoad, the excellent
Chaplain of the Prison) with streaming eyes, " my poor
old mother always told me what the end would be ; I then
thought little of her advice, but now, -1..-hen it is too late, I feel
the force of it." Like Turner, who suffered on the 11th, inst.
he acknowledged the justness of the remarks made by the
Learned Judge in passing sentence, and declared that poaching
led to every species of crime. It is hoped that the lamentable el-
fects of poaching, which the inhabitants of this county have
lately witnessed in the execution of two men,,and the transpor-
tation of five others, will prove a salutary check to the de-
stroyers and purchasers of game, since they who encourage
others in the commission of crime must largely participate
its guilt. .
