11-nEcx OF TitE.ALßrol.-..—A Gentleman arrived at Cork,
from Liverpool, on the sth instant, to whom a box, containing
5,0001. in specie, had been transmitted by the Albion, of which
no trace had been discovered. To the preservation of the re-
sidue of the ship, and part of the cargo spared by a raring sea,
Mr. Mark, the respectable American Consul, had-paid every
atrention, but from the almost inaccessible cliff's that overhung
the spot where the wreck lay, and the demolition caused by the
influx of each succeeding tide, his efforts could not have that
success his asxiety may otherwise have been rewarded with.
This rendered the sale of the remaining part of the wreck ne-
cessary ' • and when we state that, on Friday se'ennight, it pro-
duced by publication only 401. 16s. 6d. though the sale was
attended by numerous purchasers, an estimate may be formed
how little was left.—(Liverpool Advertiser.)

her husband, Madame VEsTats, Madame CAM-

SONS OF THE CLERGY.--Yesterday the Anni-
versary Festival of the above laudable Institution,which has for
its object the apprenticing the Children of necessitous Clergy-
mel, was celebrated at St. Paul's Cathedral. The fineness of
the day drew together an immense assemblage °frank and beauty.
—The LORD MAYOR, attended by his Chaplain, Sword and
Mace Bearer, arrived in the City state-coach, followed by
Sheriff's Garratt and Venables, in their state chariots, and
several Aldermen ; and we also noticed the Archbishops
of Canterbury and York ; the Bishops of London, Ely,
Bangor, Carlisle, Saint David's,- and Bristol ; Lord Bolton,
&c.—After the company had taken their seats, the Perform..
ante commenced. Mr. Greatorex conducted the whole, Mr.
Ware led the band, and Mr. Atwood presithd at the orb,ran.
Previous to the Finale, an excellent Sermon was preached by
the Venerable Charles James Blomfield, D.D. Archdeacon of
Colchester, and Rector of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, who took
his text from the Ist Epistle of Paul, the Apostle, to the
Corinthians, 4th chap; Lith v.—" Being defamed we entreat : •
we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring
of all things unto this day." The subscriptions at the door, we
are happy to say, were very liberal. On the closing of tilt •
Performance, the company repaired to Merchant Tailors:
Hall, where a sumptuous entertainment was provided for
them.—Prince Leopold, whose absence from the country pre-
vented his attendance, forwarded a donation of Al. for the
Institution.

EXECUTION.-This morning, Edward Ward
and John Anson were executed at the usual place in the Old
Bailey, for a burglary in the house of' Mr. Platt of Greenford. •
—These unfortunate men were ordered for execution on Wed-
nesday, with their companions in the robbery, but, from some
representation made, it was postponed, to give an opportunity
of inquiring into the correctness of the statement.' Unfortu-
nately for them, the result of the inquiry was not satisfactory,
and an order came to the gaol yesterday to carry the sentence-
into effect. This morning, Mr. Sheriff VENABLES attended
at eight o'clock in the press-room, when the unfortunate men.
were brought in, and divested of their irons, during which time
they conducted themselves in the most becoming manner : they
appeared to be persons that had moved in a respectable walk of.
life. 'Ward !acknowledged having, at his outset in iniquity,
began by passing bad notes —Anson appeared to possess great
firmness of mind, and delivered, with strong emphasis and de-
votion, an extempore prayer, at the conclusion of whit he.
thanked Mr. Sheriff VENABLES for his kind attention, and 're-
quested him to cause to be conveyed to a friend something that.
would be found in his left waistcoat pocket.—The unfortunate
men were then conveyed to the fatal drop, when, at a few
minutes past eight, it fell, and this world closed on them for
ever : W and struggled very much. It being quite unexpected
that the execution would take place, but a few persons were
present ; even the worthy Sheriff himself said he did not ex-
pect it would have' taken place.—Desmond, the companion of
Davis in committing the burglary in Lincoln's-inn-fields, has
been finally reprieved.
