ORDERS.

EXECUTION OF YOUNGMA.N—(THIS DAY).
This morning William Godfrey Youngman, only 25 years
of age—who was convicted at the last session of the Cen-
tral Criminal Court of the murder of his mother, his two
younger brothers, ailfl Elizabeth Ann Streeter, to whom
:.!..u3 murders taking place at his
he had promised marriage, Wal worth—underwent
parents' residence in Manor-row,
+Told erected on
the extreme penalty of the law on the seal
the
the top of the gateway of Horsemonger-lane Gaol,—
presence of a vast concourse of spectators, between 30,000
and 40,000 persons having assembled at every available
point where a sight of the scaffold could be obtained, and
amongst the vast crowd a large number of females were

present.
The circumstances of these horrible murders and the con-
vict's subsequent conduct in denying that he was the raur.
derer, and charging his mother with having committed the
murder of the young woman and her two sons, and that he
only destroyed her in self-defence, are fresh in the recol-
lection of the public ; and it is melancholy to state that he
has adhered to that statement unto death. Although con-
stantly visited by the Rev: Mr. Jessop, the chaplain of the
gaol, and apparently paying the most serious attention to his
exhortations, he has constantly denied that he was a murderer.
His conduct in prison has been most calm and decorous,
and it so continued to the last moment after he knew all
hope was gone. Yesterday his father, brother, and two
sisters visited him in his cell, in the presence of the chap-
lain and governor. The interview lasted about an hour
and a half, and a most painful scene took place. The
wretched man, instead of showing contrition, upbraided his
father in strong terms, said he had been a bad father to
him, a bad husband to his mother, and bad father to his
sisters. The father recriminated, when the convict in his
replies was quite in a rage, so much so that the governor
and chaplain thought it right to put an end to it, and
induced the father to withdraw from the room. After the
father was gone he became more calm, and conversed with
his brother and sisters generally, but positively denying
that he had committed the murder, in fact adhering to his
eriginal statement ; he then complained bitterly of the con-
duct of the uncle of the unfortunate girl Streeter, Mr. Spice,
of the Green Dragon, Bermondsey-street, in stating on the
trial that he had told him, Youngman, that he would sooner
see his niece with a rope round her neck than she should
marry him. The convict added with warmth, "Do you
suppose a man like me could hear such words with-
out striking him to the earth. I am not a mur-
derer, but I could take his head •off." After
this he became more calm, and burst into tears,
but all the remainder of his conversation was
a protestation of his innocence. His father again entered
the room, when, after a little persuasion on the part of his
sister, brother, and chaplain, he shook hands with his father
and kissed him ; he then kissed and embraced his brother
and sisters, and took his last farewell of them, In two or
three hours (the wretched man having expressed a wish to
that effect) his brother brought his wife, the convict's sister-
in-law, and her child, and he had an interview with them
for half an hour; he was quite calm, and appeared to be
much affected in embracing his little niece, but in all his
conversation he protested his innocence. After they had left
him he remained quietly reading some religious books
given him by the chaplain until ten o'cick, when he was
visited by the governor (Mr. Keene) and the chaplain.
They did all they could to induce him to make -•+onfession,
but he only repeated what he had before stared. The
wretched man then joined in prayer with the chaplain in
apparent fervour, after which he was again appealed to to
confess; when he did not, as before, assert his innocence,
but maintained a strict silence, which the chaplain and the
governor at the time took as a tacit confession of his guilt,
and that his sentence was a just one. He was again
visited by the chaplain about 11 o'clock, after which the
wretched man retired to rest and slept soundly
during the night, and this morning after he arose
he partook of a hearty breakfast of e3coa and
bread and butter, and in fact asked for more. An ex-
traordinary incident may be here mentioned, showing that
the wretched man had contemplated an escape or self-
destruction. On Saturday evening he desired to go to the
closet, but it being dark the wardens would not let him go
without a light. One of them left the cell to fetch one
leaving a warden with him; this warden also left the
room to go into another cell, when the prisoner watched
them, and knowing the cells would not open from the in-
side he rushed out and pushed the second warder into a
cell, but the door of the cell in which the first warder was
in did not catch the lock. The prisoner then ran down the
corridor, fled down the stairs, but at the bottom
he was caught in the arms of a third warder,
and on his being taken back to the cell he said he only did
it for a spree ; but in the interview with his father and
brother he said his intention was to have thrown himself
over the staircase and destroy himself.'

At 7 o'olock this morning Mr. Jessop, the chaplain,
visited him, and remained with him to the last. He
earnestly joined the rev. chaplain in prayer; and in the
hope at the last moment some confession would be obtained
the rev. gentleman said to him " Don't go out of the world
with a lie in your mouth," to which he immediately replied
" If you want me to tell a lie,it would be to say I did it." When
the fatal hour came for the procession to move he walked
with calm firmness to the arch under the gateway, shaking
hands with the warders. Calcraft here received and
pinioned him ; he was then formally delivered over to the
Sheriff and Under-Sheriff, Mr. Hart and Mr. Abbott, and
Mr. Garland, the chief constable of the Borough. The pro-
cession then moved up the staircase to the drop, the Rev.
Mr. Jessop reading the burial service; the wretched man
ascended the scaffold with a firm step, and placed himself
under the fatal beam; he joined the chaplain in prayer;
his last words were, " Thank you, Mr. Jessop, for your
kindness ; see my brother, and say I sent my love to him
and all." The cap being put over and the rope adjusted,
he shook hands with Calera% the fatal bolt was drawn, and
the wretched man launched into eternity. His struggles
werAbrief ; in an hour he was cut down.
The body will be buried this evening.

ROBBERY BY A WORKMAN.—Benjamin Shaw, of 29,
Liquorpond-street, Gray's-inn-lane, a journeyman engra-
ver, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a copper.
plate, &c., the property of his master, Mr. T. Wiltshire,
engraver and printer, IA, George-street, Grosvenor-square.
Mr. Wiltshire said the prisoner had been in his employ
as a printer, and, in consequence of his being spoken to by
his apprentice, he stopped the prisoner as he was leaving
his premises and4harged him with robbing him, and in his
cap found a copperplate and some brass. The prisoner said
he was very sorry, and hoped he would not prosecute or
give him into custody.
The prosecutor having recommended the prisoner to
mercy, Mr. Beadon dealt with the case as one of unlawful
possession, and ordered the prisoner to pay 10s. or seven
days' imprisonment. _ _

John Stuart, a lad who has been before convicted, was
charged with having in his possession a cape, believed to
be stolen..

The prisoner was stopped by Sergeant Cole, 23 C, some
others, having a large bundle in their possession, managing
to escape.
With the view that something may be heard of the rob-
bery, Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoner.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-MONDAY.

Many of our subscribers leaving for Warwick, up to the
time of the train starting we had a very good muster, but
there was not much businms done. For the St. Leger,
Thormanby seemed rather " shaky ;" we saw 50 to 10 laid
against him more than once, and he ultimately settled down
to 4to 1 (offered). Sabreur was backed at sto 1, and Um-
pire was very freely supported ; the last transaction we saw
booked about him was 7to 1. For the Leamington Stakes
Crater was (early in the day) backed at 4 to 1, and Wild'
Rose at 5 to 1, but later on higher prices than these were
easily obtainable ; and Royal Sovereign was backed at 11
to 2. Toward the close Crater came again, but we did not
see less than to 1 taken. Closing prices :
