Such was the original cost of the State coach ; but we shall
scarcely be expected to detail the sums that have been from
time to time expended in keeping this vehicle in repair, and
preserving its splendour untarnished. Drawn by eight noble
horses, superbly caparisoned, it forms the most magnificent
equipage in Europe.—Domestic Life in England.

EXECUTION OF NORMAN WELCH.—FURTHER
PARTLCULARS.—The sentence of the law was carried into
effect on Monday on Norman Welch, convicted on Fri.,'
day last before Mr. Baron Parke, at the Lancaster assizes, of
the wilful murder of the late Mr. William Southgate, surveyor
of warehouses at the custom-house, Liverpool, on the 17th of
October last. We understand that the behaviour of the un-
fortunate man since his arrival at the gaol, and especially dur-
ing the interval which elapsed between his sentence and
execution, was most exemplary, and that the officers who
attended him have seldom or never witnessed on the part of a
condemned criminal so much contrition, piety, firmness, and
resignation. On Sunday evening he said that he was ready
to tke the atonement required by the laws of his country,
was perfectly resigned, and that be would not exchange situa-
tions with any man. In the morning, jest before being led to
execution, he repeated this sentiment, and said, " This is the
happiest day of my life." At eight o'clock the prisoner was led
out, and placed under the beam, with his back to the people.
The cap having been drawn over his head, and the rope ad-
justed about his neck. the Rev. Mr. Rowley, chaplain of the
gaol, who stood upon the verge of the scaffold, recited some
prayers, in which the prisoner, who evinced much firmness at
this awful moment, appeared to join with great earnestness and
devotion, raising his bands as far as his bonds would permit,
whilst making the responses. A portion of the burial service
was then read, and the bolt having been withdrawn, the un-
fortunate man was launched into eternity. He strogged vio-
lently, and some minutes elapsed before life appeared to be
extinct. After ,:hanging an hour the body was cut down and
deposited in a coffin, preparatory to its interment within the
precmts of the Castle, pursuant to the sentence passed upon
the deceased. We understand that he has left a wife and a
family of six children, the eldest of whom, a young man of
about twenty-two, took leave of his unfortunate father on Sa-
turday afternoon.—Liverpool Standard.
