wit)/ which she was to be suspended WAS fastened
abaft her neck. In this dreadful condition she was
literally dragged on to the fatal engine, and there
held up by the two women, whilst the executioner
was employed in fixing the noose properly about her
neck, and securing it to the chain across the beam.
These preliminaries having been gone through,
the Reverend Chaplain concluded reading the
funeral service, and the women who had supported
her now left the platform, and the wretched woman
not being able to stand without support, fell back
to the extent of the rope, and swung round, appa-
rently insensible. At this moment an involuntary
shudder burst forth from the populace, and in an
instant after the executioner withdrew the bolt the
drop fell, and the miserable woman was launched
into eternity. From her slight stature she was se-
veral minutes dying, but the executioner having ap-
plied all his weight to her, life was soon extinct.
Her body, after hanging an hour, was cut down,
and taken into the Castle, and will, according to
the sentence, be delivered over to the surgeons, to
be dissected and anatomised, on Monday next.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and we are happy
to say that no accident occurred.

RECEIPT-STAMPS REPEAL.

(From Felix Farky's Bristol Journal.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in conjunction
with Mr. Dawson, on Tuesday gave audience to
the Deputation from Bristol, on the subject of the
Repeal of the Stamp Duties on Receipts, accom-
panied by the Members of the City, Mr. Hart Davis
and Mr. Bright. It is needless almost to say that
they were most courteously received and attentively
listened to.

The detail and proof= into which the gentlemen
entered of the practical evils attendant upon the
payment of the tax, as to its partiality and vexa-
tiousness, and which occupied more than an hour,
appeared to make a considerable impression on the
Right Hon. Gentlemen.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer acknowledged
to the Deputation, that the representations which
they had made deserved, and should have, his seri-
ous consideration ; and he intimated, that the clause
in the 55th Geo. Hi., continuing penalties which
are dispersed through, and can only be ascertained
by reference to statutes Ivhich,in every ether respect
are repealed, should be revised; that, in an Act he
meant to introduce in the next Session, all those
penalties that arc intended to be continued should
be expressly defined; and which Act should include
a revision and emendation of the present Stamp
Acts.

The petitions and representations which he will still
continue to receive from other parts of the kingdom
must convince him of the unpopularity of the tax;
and we trust that the next and earliest relief from
taxation, which the country may expect, will be the
repeal of this duty.
