EXECUTION OF LEWIS O'P'EN,
at Carnarvon, for the Robbery, and attempt to Murder Mr.
STURDY, Supervisor of Excise.
Our readers are acquainted with the trial and conviction
of the above unhappy culprit, at the last Carnarvon Assizes.
On Wednesday last he paid the forfeit of his life to the outraged
laws of his country. His demeanour, from the moment of his
conviction, appeared truly contrite. Through the kindness and
humanity of our worthy High Sheriff, W. L. Caldecott, Esq.
his personal comforts so far as was compatible with his safe
custody, were most ample—and every facility of access was af.
forded to his spiritual advisers. The Chaplain to the jail, the
Reverend Mr. Owen, and the Reverend Messrs. Trevor and
Williams, were indefatigable in their zeal and constant at.,
tendance. The Chaplain preached the condemned sermon on
Tuesday to as crowded a congregation as the chapel in the
gaol would admit • on the following morning, the High She-
riff', and Deputy Sheriff, John Ellis, Esq., attended by the jave-
lin.nien, 28 special constables, the Staff of the county militia,
with several of the County Magistrates on horseback, appeared at
the gaol, and the unhappy man was placed in a cart, accompa-
nied by the executioner—his coffin was also placed on the cart, on
which he sat to the place of execution, at Morfa Sciout, about
a mile from the prison.—The number of spectators could not
be less than than 12,000 ; their conduct during the awful ce-
remony, bore a pleasing contrast to the riotous and tumultuous
uproar exhibited on these occasions in more populous dis.
tncts ! The unhappy man addressed the multitude in the Welsh
language chiefly, in the most feelingand pathetic manner, during
which the sobbings of the assembled multitude were loud and
universal.—He ascribed his melancholy end to habits of drunk-
enness, the profanation of the Lord's Day, and the company of
abandoned prostitues. He prayed fervently for a considerable
time after the Chaplain had prayed with and parted from him,
concluding with the Lord's Prayer ; in short, his conduct
throughout evinced the greatest fortitude; he was launched
into eternity about twelve o'clock, without an apparent struggle.
his unhappy mother visited and took leave of him in the pri-
son, previous to his receiving the sacrament.—( Chester Cou-
rant, Sept. 9.)

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. —This morning the
General Quarter Sessions of Oyer and Terminer
and Gaol Delivery commenced in Justice Hall,
Old Bailey, before Air. Justice PARK, Mr.
Baron GRAHAM, the RECORDER, the LORD
MAYOR, the Bench of Aldermen, &c. The Jury
being sworn, had the usual charges given them,
and the arraignment of prisoners then took place.
The Calendar is remarkably heavy, there being
nearly 400 prisoners for trial, among which are
three for murder ; three for forgery and forging
the Goldsmiths' Hall mark; a great number for
burglary, house-breaking, and highway robbery ;
the greater majority on the lists are for capital
offences, and the larcenies are very numerous.—
The Court was crowded to excess, as the case of
Brooks, the Attorney, on a charge of forging a
bill, was expected to come on, but it was not on
this day's list.—The trial of traversed cases
came on at ten o'clock, and the Court was oc-
cupied during the morning with them ; they in
no measure possessed the slightest degree of pub-
lic interest.
