EXECU7IOV OF BARRETT.

TUESDAY, May 26.

This morning the Fenian convict, Michael Barrett,
expiated his great crime on the scaffold in front of
the gaol of Newgate, in the presence of a vast con-
course of people. The crowd was, to a large extent,
composed of a better class of persons than usually
assemble at executions there, and the prevailing
behaviour was in accordance. A large open space
was kept by the police in front of the scaffold, so
that the crowd at first sight did not appear so
great as it really was. The convict retired to rest
last evening about 10 o'clock, but' passed a some-
what restless night. At 6 this morning he rose,
dressed himself, and engaged in prayer. Shortly
afterwards he was joined by the Rev. James
Hussey, from the Roman Catholic Chapel, Moor-
fields, by whom he has been attended since his
conviction, and who remained with him to the
last. It is understood that in the course of the
morning he received the last Sacrament of the
Church from his priest. All along, according to
Mr. Hussey, he had borne himself with great
fortitude, and given much satisfaction by the pains
he had taken to prepare himself for his end, and
the docile and affectionate manner in which he re-
ceived the consolation of religion. He died with-
out making any confession, so far as the public are
concerned. What took place between him and his
priest in reference to the crime may never be
divulged. All that is known is,- that he gave
"immense satisfaction" to the clergyman who at-
tended him in his last moments, to use that gentle-
man's own expression.
A course altogether unusual was adopted by the
authorities, iu one respect, in the arrangements
immediately preceding the execution. Instead of
being conducted to the press-room to be pinioned,
the convict was pinioned in his cell in the presence
of the Under-Sheriffs, and thence conducted by a
way entirely private and unusual to the scaffold.
This he mounted with a firm step, accompanied
by his priest and attended by the executioner.
The moment he appeared upon the drop a kind of
cheer broke from the crowd, which swayed about
with the wildest excitement. The preparations
were soon made, and to the last moment the Rev.
Mr. Hussey continued to utter words of consolation
to the doomed man, whose responses were indicated
by the motions of the lips, concealed though the
mouth was by the cap which had been drawn over
the features. The drop at length fell, and piercing
shrieks from women in the crowd rent the air for a
moment, and that indescribable hum peculiar to
such occasions broke upon the ear. The convict,
who had great muscular strength, appeared to die
slowly.

It is a noteworthy circumstance thit after his
conviction he was never heard by those in attend-
ance upon him to Jeny his guilt. Whenever .he re-
ferred to the crime he always said he was convicted
on insufficient evidence, and that he was not guilty
of murder.
