EXECUTIONS.

In our last we briefly noticed the unhappy
end of the unfortunate men, Goggin,- Lucy,

bane, and Murphy, who were executed at Carri-
ganimmi on Thursday last.. We are now enabled
to add the following particulars :

On their way to the place of execution, they exhibited the
most firm deportment, and Goggin's house being situated on
the high road, he Wz s so engaged frith the Rev. Mr. Kelly,
that he never once locked' toit: When they arrived near the
fatal spot, they walkeettip a steep hill to the gallows, which
was erected on an eminence-- Their steps were regular and
firm. Here, while' the necessary preparations were making,
and the other Clergymen engaged . with the convicts, the Rev.
Mr: Keily addressed the small number assembled to witness
this affecting spectacle, in Irish. His address seemed to make
a deep-impression on the listeners. We understand that in the
course of it, he stated that he had reason to know that the peo-
ple of the surrounding country had been seduced by strangers.
" These, said the Reverend addresser, are 'the cause of the
death of the unfortunate victims now before you. Are they
here ? No ! Have any of them been taken ? No ! They com-
mitted you and took good care of themselves. As soon as the
battle commenced they provided for their own safety by run-
ning away. You could not,
.your homes and families were in
the neighbourhood. From this you will infer the principles and
motives of your seducers. I will at once state to you their cha-
racter and views. They are persons of desperate fortunes, pro-
scribed for the most atrocious crimes, who, by immersing you
in guilt, would wish to protract their own fate by confusion
and excesses committed in the Country; listen no longer to
them. lam authorised by the victims before you to make
this solemn request to their friends and relatives. lam further
sanctioned by the venerable authority by which I was appointed
to the present painful duty, to appeal yoUr religious feelings in
order to detach you frOm a diabolical confederacy,—lt has been
intimated that your feelings haVe been attempted to be engaged
on the score of religion: My Friends, the Commandments of God'
are the foundation of the morality of the. Christian "e ligion. I
will direct your attention to,tWo of these Commandments "Thou
shalt not takethe name of the Lord thy God in vain." The blas-
phemous oaths which are the cement of your wicked associations,
are positiVe violations ofthis commandment. Is there any thing
more insulting tulie Divinity than to invoke him to witness en-.'
gagements at the contemplation of which our very nature shud-
ders. Another Commandment, " Thou shalt not kill." Thecrime
of Murder ceases not to cry out to Heaven for vengeance ;
this vengeance inevitably pursues the murderer, and must ulti-
mately overtake him. If the holy name of Religion has been
employed to seduce you, believe me that it was by the dis-
ciples of Satan, for the tempter himself must have devised that
system of Religion that would supersede the Commandments'
of God.

" I have it from superior authority that a lenient Govern-
ment has reluctantly adopted coercive measures! Your dis-
tressed situation would, .ere this shave engaged the attention
of your Rulers but for your own foolish contluct. Never oz.:,
you be Nttered in your condition, uwil you resume your
peaceful occupations. No Government couldsparley or _enter
into a compromise with insurgents. The longer you continue
refractory, the farther you defer your own good.—Your
Landlords, too, will consider, for your advantage is theirs ; but
they cannot do any thing for you until you convince them that
you are perfectly amenable to the law. Another consideration
is, that there are many others, besides the victims present, who
are ander sentence of death. Upodthe immediate restoration
of tranquillitt their fate depends : and here let me bring under
your notice the cruet conduct of your seducers, who, at the very
moment the trials of the prisoners in Cork were pending, were
committing the most abominable excesses, as if to exasperate di,%
already roused justice of the country.
" Were I to be placed in the awful predicament of the
people now prepared to receive their eternal doom, it would
be my testamentary request' to you to renounce all connection
with disaffected men: I here, on my beaded knees, as a
Clergyman, solemnly exhort you, in the sincerity of my good
wishes for- you, to take my advice. I have, heretofore, tra-
velled among you in the company of our beloved and venera-
ble Bishop. I have seen. the adverse factions of this country
instantly reconciled by his evangelical arguments and persua-
sive eloquence. I know feelings of sorrow for your late de-
fection from your Christian duties. Afford him by your future
conduct the consolation of knowing that you are sorry for the
jiaat, and that hereafter, you will not b.?, the dupes of the wicked
and designing.". • ;
Mr: Kelly continued to address the persons assembled at
more length, and 'it is to be hoped with due effect ; after
which the unfortunate men having declared they were ready
and resigned to meet their fate, were launched into eternity,
amidst a shout of horror from the surroundingpeople, who
were little accustomed to'shch terrific scenes. It is painful to
us to be obliged to add, that the sufferings of some of them
were notitezminated as soon as, for the sake of humanity, it were
to be wished, owing to tile bad preparations of the executioner.
After life was extinct, and the bodies had been suspended the
usual time, they were cut doWn, placed in coffins and taken to
the Macroom Bridewell, and from thence brought back to the
county jail.
At ten o'clock on Friday morning, Daniel Croneen, Denis
Murphy, Timothy.. Hallahan, Richard Drummey, and' Ed-
ward .Breen, who had been in the Bridewell of NJ acroom
since Wednesday, were removed under an escort of Carbi-
neers, and a large body of, foot soldiers, tn the Cross of De-
shure, where they were to
.be executed. The prisoners were
placed in the large black cart in which they had berm
conveyed from Cork, and were assisted in their, devotions
by two Clergymen, • who were occasionally relieved by two
other Rev. Gentlemen who preceded them in a carriage.—
The procession passed through a large exent of the country,
as a circuitous route had been fixed upon, as calculated
best to.exhibit to the inhabitants of that neighbourhood the
consequences of the infahatkin and crime to which the prisoners
had fallen victims. When they arrived at Deshure, they found
the large new gallows which had .bseen desio•nedly constructed
for the of five persons together, already erected on the
side of a hill, from which it was visible-through a large extent
of country.—TlN.• Gentlemen of the Muskerry Cavalry, and a
party of Riflemen from Macroom, were,on the ground.
The neighbouring hills were filled 'with groups of specta-
tors, and the Immediate vicinity of the gallows was occupied
by a very large concourse of persons, to whom, while the
final arrangements were in progress, the Rev. Mr. M‘Sweeny,
the Parish Priest of Bandon, and• who from the circum-
stance of his having been for some years resident in a neigh-
bouring district, was known •to the greater portion of those
present, addressed the spectators in Irish. He feelingly de-
ploren the infatuation which had led to the melancholy spec-
tacle of which they were witnesses, and in a strain of energetic
eloquence, exhorted the people to respect for the laws, obe-
dience to the constitutional authorities, and an 'observance
of the duties, as well as a profession of the doctrines of, religion.
When the unhappy men had ascended the platform, and just
before they were l.aunched into eternity, Drummy, who was
by far the most intelligent man, besought the prayers of the 1
spectators, and exhorted his neighbours and all the others as-
sembled
there to follow the advice of their Clergyinen, which he
regretted he had not acted on at an earlier period of his life,
and concluded by strongly urging the to peace, industry, and
religion.
After hanging the usual time' the bodies were taken down
and conveyed to Macroom, from which place they were brought.
into Cork on Saturday, to be interred in the yard Of the County
gaol.
The Sheriffs of Cork have received a warrant for the execution
Of Roger Heffernan, the gunpowder-seller; on Saturday next.

(FROM THE WEXFORD HERALD.)
Joshua Nunn, Esq. of St. Margaret's, recently
received two notices, threatening him and his
steward with death. His steward, a man of the
name of Leary, lately took part of Killala, a
farm belonging to Walter Redmond, Esq. (who
has also received threatening notices.) Leary
still holds possession, notwithstanding the re-
peated warnings which he and hisolandlord have
received. Unfortunately, one night he omitted
his usual precaution of putting his car into a
place of security, and in the morning it was found
with the shafts broken.

Mr. Green, of Davidstown, received several
threatening notices to quit a farm, of whit% he is
not long in possession, and from which a bad
tenant had been ejected. One of his out-houses
was burned in consequence of his refusing to
comply with such disgraceful mandates.

We received this morning the French Papers
of Monday and Tuesday. They inform us that
the French capital is in a'state of comparative
calm, and •ttat the Missionaries now continue
their exercises with scarcely any interruption ;
but, the reports of insurrections at Niort, Angers,
and Naiites, which were contradicted by some of
the Journ‘als, are now admitted by these very
Journals to be well founded, as far as regards
Nantes, and some doubts are entertained whether
disaffection has not manifested itself al• Angers, in
which direction the gendarmerie of A nconis and its
neighbourhood is said to have marched. Seieeal
removals and dismissions in the Police Depart-
ment have been made, and among others the
Prefect of Nantes and the Sub-Prefect,of Prol
vies, both in•the heart of the disturbed districts,
have been dismissed ;. and so doubtful seems the
fidelity of • this Department, that several more
changes are on the point of taking Place. With
respect to General BERTON, the activity dis-
played by the Government for his apprehension has been hitherto ineffectual, and it is
conjectured he remains concealed in the portion
of France which was formerly so celebrated for
its loyalty to the Bourbons. The Council of
War at Tours, On the 28th ult. gave judgment in
the affair of Saumur, sentencing DELON (absent),
Aide-de-Camp of General BEaTON, SIREJEAII,
and COUDERT, to death ; MATIIIEU to five years
imprisonment, and five others to two years im-
prisonment. Two were acquitted. Many other
persons implicated in this affair have been
apprehended and imprisoned, and the arrests still
continue. Though the disaffection appears to
have reached part of La Vendee, for no contra-
diction of the former statements to this effect has
been published, yet the great mass of the Yen-
deans are, still firmly attached to the House of
Bourbon ; for, on receiving intelligence ofdhe
sedition at Thouars, the former Vendean Chiefs
assembled for the purpose of :deliberating whe-
ther they should occupy Parthenay in the name
of the KING, and upwards of 6,000 Vendeans
flew to arms, ready to march upon Thouars. We
trust that the next accounts will bring intelli-
gence of the pacific termination of these disor-
ders, in which we are happy to observe that the
military have not in any instance taken part with
the rebels. Amid these tumults the French
Funds still maintain their prices, the five per
cents. having closed on Monday at SO f. 90 c.
