EXECUTION OF HONOR CONCANNON IN THE

COUNTY OF CLARE.
From the time of her sentence being passed,
until the instant she was precipitated front the fatal drop, the
Rev. Dean O'Shatighnessy had been unremitting in his endea-
vours to, bring her mind to a state of peace ; and, a short time
before she was removed from her cell, had succeeded so far as to
induce her to conduct herself in somewhat of a becoming man-
ner, and, we believe, to join him in prayer. Until then, her
behaviour was outrageous in the extreme—blaspheming and
screaming incessantly. The momentary calmness she assumed
was, however, thrown aside, and her screams and resistance
renewed with redoubled violence, when the summons arrived
to conduct her to her last earthly scene. The most dreadfnl
imprecations, the most heart-rending apathy, were the only
responses she made to the affecting appeals of the attending
Clergymen. No persuasion, no intreaues, availed to bring her
to a proper sense of her situation ; and force was at length
reluctantly resorted to, to fulfil the sentence she so justly me-
rited. We are really sick at the conclusion. She was placed
(after having severely bitten the executioner) with the rope
round her neck, lying on the platform ; but she exerted all her
strength, and rolled herself back into the door; in the struggle
her cap had fallen off, and her hair hung loose and disordered.
The Rev. Mr. O'Shaughnessy then addressed her, but without
effect. She was again forced out, and, while sitting on the
drop, was once more exhorted and implored to cue for mercy
to her Saviour—but she still refused to listen. The drop.then
fell—one of her legs, which was resting on the frame, remained
for a few moments supporting her, until removed by the execu-
tioner ; and even in that awful suspension between time and
eternity, she continued to invoke the most horrid curses on
all concerned' in causing her conviction and execution.
She struggled for a considerable time; anti thus died the
unrepentant perpetrator of the most enormous, cruel, anti
cold-blooded murder that ever disgraced this country.—
Her body was subsequently conveyed to the County Infir-
mary, where it remained unclaimed by any friend or relative.
She was a native of a remote part of the county Galway, and
had been at service in many places, in this county, which she
we understand, with much satisfaction to her employers,
until seduced into a course of vice, which too many females
have the misfortune to enter upon. She has left one child, a
boy, for the hand of charity to preserve from the example of its
un happy parent.

A private letter from Frankfort states, that the
Emperor of AUSTRIA had commuted the penalty of death,
pronounced last year by the Supreme Tribunal of Verona against
certain individuals for high-treason, to twenty years' solitary
imprisonment in the fortress of Spitzberg.
On Sunday. the 18th ult. their Majesties the
King and Queen of DENMARK, with the Princesses, arrived
safe in the capital, after a tour in the provinces of more than
seven weeks. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with
which the inhabitants of Copenhagen received the itoyal
Family. They immediately repaired to the summer residence
of Friedricksberg.
On Sunday last died in this town, ALEXANDER
DIVING/TON, a native of Haddington, in Scotland; aged 98
years. In the early part of his life he served twenty-seven years
in the Scots Greys, and was with that regiment at the memor-
able battle of Minden, in 1739, where he had two horses
shot under him, and his right and left-hand men were both kill-
ed. At the battle of Lefette, where the regiment suffered great-
ly, he was severely wounded, and has been for nearly 50 years a
pensioner of Chelsea Hospital. He had a very retentive memory,
which he retained, with his other faculties, almost unimpaired,
until a very short time before his death, and used to relate with
great enthusiasm, the events of his life, and the achievements of
the distinguished corps to which he belonged, and of, which he

COURT OF CHANCER,Y—(Tau DAT).

WARD OF COURT.-PRTYATE IIRARIXG.
LATIW AHD V. SCIIttIBEIt.

The LORD CICANCELLOR was occupied for a
considerable lime this morning in -kis private
room in hearing this cause, relative te-tite mar-
riage of a Ward of the Court.. Counsel 4vere en-
gaged on both sides, ansi it was understood that
an amicable arrangement was the result.
1111TH V. TRIMMER.*'
The Loan CHANCELLOR gave lodgment in
this case, and decided that the lase, un-
der all the extraordinary circumstances-that cha-
racterised it, was at an end, and-that the
purchaser of the fee.simple, .having.consented to
his Lordship deciding with respect to his interest
also, he should now dispose- of the whole. It
was clear that the intention was, • that the lease
should terminate with the partnership, whether
it continued for 7, 14, or 21 years and, taking
into consideration the fact, that the - rent of tliss
premises was to be paid out of the gains of the
trade, it was clear that the moment the parties
ceased to be partners, the lease was at.un end.
The consequence, therefore, was, that the only
question that temained was for the disposal of the
property. The assignees of Smith, however,
must be treated as partners, and the only point
now was as to the security,to be given for the
conducting of the concern, whichlcould be done
by the parties themselves.
TIIC !HATTER OF SHAW D. SIMPSON.
in this cause, in which property to.a very con-
siderable amount is in litigation, his .Lordship
directed that the possession should be returned
to the consignee.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT--(Tats DAY.)
Sotero de Gokoochea Dupuv, a Spani+h nierthant and a na-
tive of Spain, came up to claim his discharge, which was
opposed, his debts appeared to amount to near 15,000/. The
insolvent underwent a most rigid examination respecting his
affairs, anti the cause of his insolvency, which.' from the pro-
visional assignees' report, as stated by the insolvent, was
attributed and owing to a fall of public securities. At his
insolvency he gave up 7,400/., one thousand pounds of which.
was In the hands of Don Joachim de Charrica who
had a lien of 1101. thereon. %I. Alzedo, at whose suite WAS
detained, was t 1,4110/. An attorney named Jerscheck, at Bilboa.
was appointed to act for the detaining creditcr. On the 23d
April, 1023, the French invaded Spain and crossed the fiver
Masson. This circumstance caused great consternation, it en -
tirely changed the mercantile afiltirs, and was the ruin of many.
Insolvent came to England in October last, having previously
sent documents to England for M. Alztslo to recover 6001. of
the Uaderwriters, he bad been in prison five months. The In-
solvent left Spain to avoid his creditors, and also for political
opinions.
The COURT, after hearing Counsel on both sides at great
length, adjudged the Insolvent to four Calendar Months withitz
the walls of the prison.
