VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—Tun DAT.

A tolerably numerous attendance, and business
active, being entirely confined to the Cambridge-
shire. Honesty was scarcely so firm as yesterday,
receding from 8 to 10 to 1, which, however, was
accepted and wanted at the close, when 11 to 1,
" bar one," was the current offer on the field, not,
however, accepted, though at 100 to 8 Actma was
frequently invested on. Wroughton was next in
demand to some little money at his price, but an
influential commissioner could not be accommo-
dated with 1,500 to 100. Julius and Knight of
the Garter each were healthy. The following
quotations show the business done :

EXECMION OF ALFRED WIGGIIVS.

This morning Alfred Wiggins was executed at
Newgate in the presence of a large concourse of
persons, for the murder of Agnes Oakes.
The prisoner, since his condemnation, has
continually protested his innocence, and has been
considerably buoyed up by the prospect of a ro-
prieve, the exertions to obtain which had been in-

judiciously communicated to him by his relatives.
On the announcement this morning by the sheriffs
that the sentence would be carried out the prisoner
exhibited great prostration, earnestly imploring
those around to have mercy on him. When he
found these petitions unavailing he fainted away.
lie was recovered by stimulants, and in a state of
semi-unconsciousness was conveyed to the drop by
five warders, attended by the chaplain. In this
painful condition the necessary operations were
gone through, the drop fell, and he ceased, after
some severe struggling, to exist, protesting his
innocence to the last. The crowd, which was a
large one, was orderly, but on the termination of
this unhappy scene, its morbid appetite seemed still
unappeased, for the cry was "Now for the other
one."

The body, after hanging the usual time, was cut
down, and buried within the precincts of the gaol.

THE EXECUTION OF BORDIER.

This morning at ten o'clock, in front of Horse-
monger-lane Gaol, Louis Bordier, who it will be
recollected was condemned to death at the last
sittings of the Central Criminal Court, for the
murder of the woman with whom he had cohabited
for many years, underwent the last penalty of the
law.

Since the date of his condemnation, no steps
have been taken to procure a mitigation of his
sentence, nor did the unhappy man himself appear
at all interested in the event, but maintained du-
ring the period of his confinement a stoical indiffe-
rence, combined with perfect resignation, great
gentleness of demeanour, and a scrupulous atten-
tion to his religious duties. In this latter respect
he was greatly assisted by the untiring and pious
exertions of a Roman Cotholic clergyman, attached
to the diocese of Southwark. On Friday he took
a last farewell of his children, and although
deeply and painfully affected on that occasion, he
soon recovered his accustomed placidity.

This morning the Under Sheriffs for the county,
accompanied by the Governor of the Gaol, an-
nounced to him that the time had nearly arrived
for the expiation of his crime. He received them
resignedly and cheerfully, and remained for a con-
siderable period afterwards in religious exercise
with his spiritual adviser. He was then conducted
from his cell to the pinioning-room, where, after
having shaken hands with the Under Sheriffs, the
Governor, and others, and thanking them for their
kindness to him during his incarceration, he sub-
mitted quietly to be pinioned. The mournful pro-
cession then moved towards the drop, the burial
service being solemnly read as they proceeded.
Bordier stepped lightly up on it, and took his posi-
tion under the fatal beam, bowing, at the same
time, twice to the hushed crowd beneath and
around him. He remained for a few minutes con-
versing with the priest, and during that time his
face was uncovered and exhibited the utmost sere-
nity, a smile almost hovering about his lips. The
cap having been adjusted, in a few more seconds
the drop fell and Bordier ceased to exist.
