EXECUTION THIS MORNING.

This morning, at nine o'clock, the sentence of the law was
carried into effect on the lodge of Horsemonger-lane gaol,
upon the body of Frederick Finnigan, who was convicted at
the Central Criminal Court, on Friday, of the wilful murder
of Charlotte Matilda, his infant daughter. Yesterday the
convict was visited by the Rev. Mr. Mann, the chaplain of
the prison ; but being of the Catholic religion, be preferred
the attendance of a priest of that persuasion, and Dr. Doyle
was the person he selected, and that gentleman spent several
hours with him during the day,• at the conclusion of which the
convict appeared resigned to his fate, and even cheerful.
He retired to rest early, and slept soundly until five
o'clock this morning, when he partook of a hearty break-
fast. A little after six o'clock Dr. Doyle arrived, and
performed those religious duties which are observed under
such circumstances by the ministers of the Church of Rome,
and he appeared to have received great consolation during the
solemn service. In the course of the morning he wrote a note
to a friend, of which the following is a correct transcript,
orthography excepted _

" 111 y dearest Friend,—l write you this as a token of my
cares which are brought on through a base and imprudent
wife, and which has laid me open to the laws: I could with
ease have borne her false and bitter reflections. My wife—
my only wife, has been the cause of all my pain and sorrow ;
but now I freely forgive her all, and I'll lie silent in the grave."
A few minutes after nine the convict was conducted from
the chapel to the fatal platform : immediately as the proces-
sion arrived at the roof of the prison the rain commenced and
fell in torrents for several minutes, so that every person was
completely drenched. The executioner having adjusted the
rope, Dr. Doyle read some prayers to the convict, which
occupied some time. As soon as the Rev. Divine withdrew,
the platform fell, and after a few struggles life was extinct.
The unfortunate man was possessed of a freehold at Cam-
berwell, and at the death of his father his property would have
been encreased. He was very much respected in the neigh-
bourhood, and the inhabitants consider that there are many
circumstances attending the case of a mitigatory nature.
The corpse of the convict will be buried within the precincts
of the gaol. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the
weather, the concourse of spectators was very great.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of the pest week were tolerably good of most
kinds of Grain, but of Barley there was a considerable quantity ; of
Flour the supply was good. The trade throughout the week was
dull for most articles. This morning there was a good supply of
Corn in general. The Wheat trade continues dull, and except for
superfine samples, may be reported one shilling per quarter
lower. Barley for malting is Is. per quarter cheaper, but fur grinding
is unvaried in value. Beans, both old and new, have declined full
Is. per quarter. Boiling Pease are dull at last quotations. Grey
Pease firmly maintain their value. Oats meet buyers slowly, but
the last rates are fully maintained. In the Flour trade transactions
are limited. and the sale is dull at last week's decline.
