EXECUTIOk OF. IVIWUGOMERY BttOU'N.

This unfortunate man, from the period df re-
ceiving sentence. of death; spent his .few remain-
_jag hours in acts of devotion, in-which he was as-
sisted by the Presbyterian Clergyman' of the pa-
rish, His wife was also his companion during
these solemn hours,of preparation for death.=
Monday, about three in the afternoon, she was
• withdrawn'from him; as also his daughter. But
previous to his leaVing the jail, abOut half past
five o'clock, they were permitted to have a last
interview with him .for a few minutes. He was
then conducted from the prison .to a chaise, in
'which also the Clergyman accompanied him, and
thus attended, he was conveyed to the common
place of execution, esorted by the Sheriff, and
a strong guard of the Pembrokeshire. sharp-
shooters, now stationed at Carrickfergus. Hav-
ing arrived at the fatal spot, she spent nearly half
an hour in devotional exercises, and then, the- ne-
cessary preparations were made for, the, finishing
.6f-the law. He ascended a car; with the execu-
tioner, and having addressed the surrounding
spectators, an immense multitude, he adMonished
them in a particular manner to avpid the sin of
drunkenness, and to'gnard against passion. 'After
he had delivered a few words to this effect, he was
launched' into eternity, and' when -the body had
'been suspended the usual length, of time, it was
taken down and'earnied to- the Old Court House,
where his afflicted family waited to receive it.

A Memorial from some merchants interested in
the trade of New South Wales, praying fOr leave
to import direct from thence, a considerable cpian-
tity of mother of pearl, and pearl shells,'the
pici-
duce?if a new fishery Contiguous to Otaheite, was
lately referred from the Board of Trade to. the
East India C9inpany, who have refused their per-
mission, unless the pearl shall be laden-on board
vessels chartered by the Company from Botany
.Bay to China', and from thenee to lEugland with
tea. The Company's Charter, it seems; warrants
this dictation, or prohibition.
J. James, for the murder of his mistres,s, was
executed at Winchester; pursuant to his sentence.
Ile steadily denied till the last that any- cause
operated to his committal of the crime, and be-
haved with mush apparent penitence. .
