THE CONDEMNED CONVICT MULLINS.

Yesterday afternoon the convict Mullins was
visited by his wife, two sons, and two daughters,
in the condemned cell of Newgate, in the presence
of the Sheriffs (Messrs. Lusk and Abbis), and the
Under-Sheriffs, with the City Chamberlain, Mr.
Jones, the Governor of the Gaol, the Rev. Mr.
Davis, the Chaplain, and other officials.
Mr. Hubert IVood, the solicitor, of Coleman-
street-buildings, together with the subordinate
officers, were also in attendance.
The wretched culprit was deeply affected, and
seemed to feel acutely his awful position. He was
addressed by the eivic authorities, but still seemed
to express his innocence of the crime of which he
had been convicted. His wife and four children
were painfully excited, and their grief was exces-
sive. The interview lasted about an hour, and not-
withstanding the earnest exhortations of the Chap-
lain and the Roman Catholic Priest (Father
Callaghan), Mullins still protested against the ver-
dict of the jury at the trial.
The Sheriffs and other officials held out no hopes
of a commutation of the sentence, and begged of him
to prepare for the awful sentence of the law, which
would take place on Monday morning next, at eight
o'clock precisely.
Last evening, the City contractor received
official instructions to erect the barriers of massive
timber-work in front of the prison, on either side
of the Old Bailey. The workmen and labourers
will commence operations this (Saturday) morning
at six o' clock.

Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, the Chief Commis-
missioner of the Police for the City of London,
has issued full instructions for an extra force of
constables to be present in the Old Bailey and the
adjacent parts at an early hour on Monday morn-,
ing, and a number of the principal• detectives of
the same division will be on duty, to protect the
public from the anticipated visit of the light-.
fingered gentry.

CRICKET.—The cricket averages appear
Bell's _Life in London of this day. It appears that G..
Anderson (Yorks) is the highest in all the matches played.
throughout the season, but what the compiler of them
terms "first class matches," Thomas Hayward, of Cam-
bridge, has that honour awarded to him. Mr. Miller
being Very close. The table also contains the extra-,
ordinary information of every ball that has been.
bowled during the past season in matches that have been,
played over all parts of the country, which is highly
interesting for perusal. The Surrey list of matches and.'
fixtures fer 1861 also appear in the columns of our con-
temporary.
NOBLE TRIBUTE OF MISS BURDETT COUTTS TOi
MISS SHEDDEN.—Yester lay Miss Shedden, who has so
singularly advocated the rights of legitimacy of her fathers
in the proceedings now before the Court of Probate, re-
ceived a letter from Miss Burdett Coutts, expressive of her
deep sympathy for the lady's position and congratulating!
her on the zeal she has displayed. The letter was accom
panied with a cheque for £2OO, for Miss Shedden's us(
during the proceedings.
