EXECUTION OF WILLIAM HUBBARD AT LEICESTER.
—This unfortunate man, who was convicted at the Leicester assizes,
for the murder of his wife, expiated his offence in front of the county
Bridewell, at Leicester, on Wednesday morning. After his convic-
tion he behaved with great indifference as to his fate, until Saturday,
when, by some means, he obtained a brick from the fire-place, and
made an attempt to strike the police-constable, Bassford, who vvaa
attendant upon him. Fortunately, hewever, his deadly purpose was
intercepted, and he was prevented adding another crime to that for
which he was so shortly to suffer. He was then handcuffed to pre-
vent him doing further mischief; and this appears to have irritated
During Monday and Tuesday he maintained the most sullen obsti-
nacy, extremely, as he manifested the utmost sullenness afterwards.
refusing to have any communication with the rev. chaplain,
eanntd had to he
lycalled upon him. Be slept soundly the latter part of

ALARMING FIRE IN BROWNLOW-sTREET, DRURY-
La night, between nine and ten o'clock, a fire was disco-
vered to have broken out on the premises of Mr. Jones, a smith, re-
siding in Brownlow-street, Drury-lane. Immediately that the fire
was discovered, the fire-engines and brigademcn from High Holborn
station were sent for, which promptly arrived, followed in rapid suc-
cession by others, which Were got into active operations. The fire
originated from the flue of the chimney of the forge, which commu-
nicated to the rafters and roof of the house. Immediately after the fire
was extinguished, it was discovered that the flames had communi-
cated to two houses at the back of Mr. Jones's premises, in Short's-
gardens. The firemen quickly directed their attention there, and
promply succeeded in subduing the fire in that direction.
INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM.—The anniversary festival
of this society was held yesterday evening at the London Tavern,
and upwards of 150 guests were present to do honour to the occasion.

ship was unavoidably absent, and his place was supplied by Mr. B.
Boni Cabbell. The usual loyal toasts having been given and duly
