Amongst the numerous transparencies which
decorated the houses in Brussels on the entrance of King
LEOPOLD, there was a very remarkable one representing
father Scheldt breaking his fetters.

Tuesday, Mr. ROBERT HEWLETT, chair-
maker, put a period to his existence in Great Bolton dun-
geon, by hanging himself with his apron strings. The un-
fortunate man had only been married about five weeks,
and had quarrelled with his wife on Monday and Tues-
day. A distraint fur rent was put into the house, aud,
in consequence of the resistance made by HEWLETT to the
bailiffs, he was lodged in tile dungeon. There was a boy
in the same cell, but, it being dark, he was not aware of
the rash deed having been committed. Deceased was
found about an hour after he had been placed in confine-
ment by RottiNsoti, the constable, and medical assistance
was immediately procured, but the vital spark was extinct.

STEAM-BOAT ACCIDEN T.—On Saturday
evening, as Mr. JOHN BARRETT, of Barking, in Essex,
was proceeding down the river in his sailing barge or lug
boat, of 20 tons burden, laden with 11 tons of salt, be met
the Brilliant Gravesend steam-packet off Blackwall, pro-
ceeding towards London at a rapid pace. A wave, caused
by the heavy swell, dashed over the barge, which was
t ,seed about, and rendered unmanageable. A second
wave dashed fore and aft over the barge, and she be-
gan to sink ; on which BARRETT and his boy jumped
into a small skiff fastened to her stern. They had scarcely
jumped into it when the vessel filled with water and went
down, nearly swamping the skiff and drowning poor
BARRETT and his boy, who were excessively alarmed.
The Brilliant proceeded onwards. It was jut dark, and
it is supposed the captain of the steamer and people on
board were unconscious of the accident.

EXECUTION OF GAMMON.--Admitting the
law to be just which commands extreme punishment for
such a crime as that for which Josix GAMMON has suf-
fered, we are bound to confess that we cannot point to oue
circumstance which might have entitled the miserable
culprit to any mitigation of his sentence. JOHN CAat-
-mow could neither read nor write, and, we understand,
was a remarkably ignorant man. Since his condemna-
tion, the wretched criminal has been very penitent ; he
has frequently acknowledged the justice of his sentence,
and repeatedly expressed a wish to depart from this world.
About a week since his wife took leave of him, and ex-
horted him to snake his peace with Con. At 10 o'clock,.
the workme❑ had fixed the platform and steps. The mi-
serable man passed a restless night, and, at intervals,
prayed fervently, and often expressed to the person ap-
pointed to read and sleep with him, a wish that the hour
was come. At 11 o'clock the whole of the prisoners assem-
bled in the chapel, where the condemned received the sa-
crament. At 12 a great concourse of persons had assem-
bled in front of the gaol, but the ❑umber was much smaller
than usual. At half-past 12 the unfortunate man WO
launched into eternity ; the body, after hanging the usual
time, was taken down. He died without a struggle...,
