JOHN TA WELL.

(THIS DAY—BY EXPREss.)

It having become known in London, ni (1 in the
districts around Aylesbury, that this morning the
wretched criminal Tawell was to expiate on the
gallows hi 3 drealful crime, a large nurnhcr of persons
flowed into tho town. the evening htfore. The
London down-trains were more crowded than tpual,
and besides a considerable number of representatives
from the metropolitan press, he who was to perform
the last office for the prisoner—the exec:wiener Cal •
craft, came down also. There was nothing in the
appearenee of the town yesti rday eveni-g to indicate
that an execution—and one, too, shish has
raised io much exeitem nt in the !milk mind—was
about to take place, save that it was somewhat
more crowded than ordinary.

The reporters for the London press, immediately
on arriving at Aylesbury, called upon Mr. Sherriff,
the Governor of the County Ilan, who handed them
the letter of Mr. Sub-Sheriff Tindal, nephew of the
Chief Justice of the Common Plea•, informing them
that none but those officially' concerned would be
admitted into the Ifsll. A letter was forthwith
addressed to Mr. Tindal, remonstrating on so un-
usual a course, but the reply was, "No answer."
After a lapse, however of some three hours, Mr. Tindal
wrote, stating that the reporters seemed to misappre-
hend the scope of his letter to the governor ; that it
was not intended to excludo the reporters " rr-
sonully," but that all persons not officially concerned
were to be excluded. Another communication was
forwarded to Mr. Tindal, in reply to which he stated,
" I have no other answer to give than that addressed
to you and your colleagues, and you must consider
that as conclusive against all persons not officially
concerned I am acting simply in the
performance of my duty, and of the direc-
tions given I zny superior, %% Lich I intend
strictly to di•charge, irrespective of all consequences."
With this answer a verbal message had been sent,
"that Mr. Acton Tindall had locked up his house for
the night." Thus the reporters, and consequently
the public, are excluded from that which to them
personally would be but a painful and distressing
duty—namely, witnessing the conduct and behaviour
of them fortunate criminal at his hut moments. But
the public will expect and ought to know all those
things, and on public grounds the execution of a
great criminal should not be left to a few officials.
Mr. Ewing, an artist from Nottingham, who came
to town for the purpose of taking a cast of Taw ell's
head, was refused a similar request. It seems to
be the opinion that Mr. Sub-Sheriff Tindal is de-
sirous of sparing as much as possible the feelings of
the culprit, but though one can appreciate such feel-
ings, it is not easy to find any rc,?.son for making an
exception in this case. The prisoner also has been
allowed several privileges in the prison, which have
been refused to others under similar circumstances,
on account of his excellent conduct since his con-

days, and the Bour,e was closed, and the entire popu•
lation were occupied with the religious cvrctoonies of

the young (,!uEEN
the Holy Week. On Thursday
washed the feet of twelve poor men, and administered
to them food, with a sum of money to each. The
Court also visited in procession several churches, ac-
companied by persons of rank, among others the
French Ambassador. The weather, bon ever, was
very unfavourable, as rain or snow fe 1 during the
greater part of tho day. At the Puerta del Sol the
Three per Cents. were done at 34 for cash, and 35
at GO days.

The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the
discussions in the Chamber of Peers on jobbing in
railway shares, and on the Customs' Bill in the
Chamber of Deputies. Great oppsition is made to
the Bill brought forward by Count DAM' on the
former question, aryl among others Count D'Aiti;our,
Governor of the Bank of France, and General CA•
lIRERES spoke against it. The latter would willingly
support any feasable measure for putting an end to
gambling in shares, but he could not concur in the
present Bill, because it tended to strike a mortal blow
at the industry, commerce, and prosperity of the
country, The Governor of the Bank whose
authority stands very high in France, spoke
in equally strong terms. 'rho Bill, he said,
infringed on the common right of all—
full liberty of transacting business; for let the
Chamber look at what was done lay any company in
endeavouring to obtain the concession of a railroad,
anal judge if there was in the plan pursued any Me-
vility. First of all, some scientific men, bankers,
tad capitalists, met, and came to the determinati ni to
form themselves into a Committee on the mater in
hand. There was certainly nothing against the law
;n that. Next they announced the provisional for-
mation of the company, and offered shares to the
public in case of success. On these offers of shares
hey received money, for wl.ich they gave receipts.
111 this was perfietly legal, since the money was
given back in case of non-concession. The objection
';) this proceeding was, that the acknowledgments for
!he looney paid in were mere bits of piper, without
value. Ile mast avow that he could not
comprehend this exaggeration, for the re-
ceipts, in place of being bits of paper without
value, were the acknowledgments of sums duly
paid and to be duly repaid in certain circumstances.
After some further remarks, IT said on cakulation he
found that the sums required to be lodged by com-
panies for the working of railways, would amount to
not less than 290,000,000 f. (11,000,0000, the with-
drawal of which from the market would cause great
IteAidcs the plan would tend to withdraw
'ho capital of foreigners from rail wny arculatioils.
Ile mere fact of taVnig the measure into considcra-
tion had already induced many foreign capitalists to
sell their shares; and he would trientinn, in support
of this assertion, that last month three thousand
shares in a Belgian railroad, deposited at a banker's
it Paris, had been taken in two hours by French
aspitalista, and. that at a moment when so many
French lines demande I their support. lie concluded
by observing that, before deciding on any mea-
sure it would be desirable to have a Committee of
Inquiry appointed to examine into the matter, to
ascertain the gravity of the abuses and the excesses
which had taken place in the last few years, and to
draw up a Bill in accordance with the result of their
examinations. This speech has settled the question.

' At an early hour this morning, about five o'clock,
the drop, from which the priaoner was to be sus-
pended, was arrange.l; and even at that early.
hour there were persons anxiously looking on. Every
motnent the..crowd was augmenting. Numbers of
persons had come in from the country about seven
o'clock, and they were not at all confined to the
lower orders. Several most respectable persons were
trooping in at all points of the town, and not ith-
standing the badness of the morning several hundreds
of persons were congregated before the County
in front of which the drop was placed, shortly after
seven o'clock.

gradually, and as there is a large open space before it,
in which the market is held, it was calculated to afford
a most excellent view to the spectators, who, as
the fatal hour approached, manifested intense expecta-
tion awl anxiety. There could not have been less
than between 4,000 and 5,000 persons present at the
time of the execution, awl amongst thins were several
respectable-looking females. Th. large space in front
of the gaol was well nigh filled. Heore the large
window in front of the gaol was a balcony, within
which the drop was erected, the lower part of which
was curtained. There were placards carried about
in several parts of the crowd, announcing, in large
letters, "A Full Account of the Last Moments of
John 'Falwell," which could nut fail to be seen by the
miserable man.
