EXECUTION OF WM. HO WELL.
IPSWICH, SATURDAY AFTERNOON.—This wretched
man expiated his offence on the scaffold in front of
Ipswich gaol at twelve o'clock. His two companions
in crime—Walter Howell, his brother, and Israel
Shipley—were respited on Friday.
The Rev. Mr. Page has been most unremitting in
his attention to the condemned criminals, all of whom
have conducted themselves in an exemplary man-
ner. When the elder Howell (William) entered the
gaol, about five months since, he was not able to read
or write, nor did he know a syllable of the Lord's
Prayer ; but, by the excellent regulations of the prison,
he had made himself a tolerable plain scholar by a
close application to the books that were furnished him
by the visiting justices and the chaplain.
On Friday he saw his mother and sister, in the
presence of the Governor and another officer, and the
scene was a very distressing one. The prisoner
throughout his confinement has protested his inno-
cence, and on Thursday night he slapped Turner,
one of the turnkeys, on the shoulder, and remarked,
" I know I deserve to die for the many offences I
have committed, but I declare to God I never steeped
my hands in human blood." Soon after he observed,
" There is a man in this prison ,who could save my
life if he liked." This was in reference to a smuggler
lately apprehended, and to whom all the condemned
criminals addressed a letter, which they entrusted to
the Rev. Chaplain to deliver. On another occasion
he observed, " That man ought to pray to his God to-
morrow at twelve, when I am on the scaffold."
On Friday night, after the chaplain left the prison,
the culprit offered up a sincere prayer, and then sank
down from exhaustion in his bed.
From an early hour thousands began to assemble
in the vicinity of the prison, and the all-absorbing
topic was whether all the culprits were to die, for it
was not generally known iu the town that any re-
spites had arrived.
At nine o'clock the Rev. F. Page entered the gaol,
and directly proceeded to the prisoner's cell. Having
remained about an hour with the culprit, he next
proceeded to the chapel to prayers. The prisoner
joined in the devotional service with great earnest-
ness, and at the conclusion partook of the sacrament.
His brother, Walter Howell, and Shipley, likewise
partook of the sacrament, and betrayed great emotion
and penitence.
The prayers having been ended, the two Howells
and Shipley, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Page,
went into the Rev. Gentleman's room, which is ad-
joining the Governor's house, at the western end of
the convicts' yard. Here it was that they took their
final leave, and a most distressing scene ensued.
From eleven o'clock the bell of St. Margaret's
Church tplled at intervals, up to twelve o'clock, a
solemn death-knell for the criminal. About the
latter hour the awful procession was discovered
emerging out of the door. way of the governor's
house, and wending its slow progress to the gate-
keeper's lodge, in front of which the gallows was
erected.
On entering the lodge the prisoner knelt down in
the centre, before a stool, and the chaplain continued
reading prayers. The culprit three times ejaculated,
with his hands upraised and clasped together, in a
firm but agonised tone, " Gracious Lord, look down
upon me ; Lord help me ; Lord have mercy upon me!"
Calcraft pinioned his arms while he was kneeling,
and this having been done, he stood up and cried
aloud, " Gracious God, be merciful unto me !
0 Lord, into thy hands I commit my spirit !
0 Saviour, blessed Jesus, receive my soul !" He
took no notice of those who surrounded him,
but ascended the ladder unassisted, and with a
firm step. Calcraft having adjusted the fatal noose,
and drawing a cap over his face, he continued to move
his hand, and pray aloud. Immediately before the
drop fell, he said, with great emphasis, to the mob,
" My dear friends, I die innocent of the crime laid to
me, that is all I wish to say to you." The drop then
fell, and the wretched man was launched into eternity
without making scarcely a perceptible struggle. The
body having been suspended an hour, it was cut down,
and was to be buried at night within the precincts of
the gaol. It was calculated that there were above
12,000 spectators present, a majority of whom were
females and boys.
THE CHAPLAIN'S STATEMENT.
After the last penalty of the law had been enforced,
the chaplain was so deeply affected that he was com-
pelled to retire to his private reom in the gaol ; but
as soon as he had recovered from the shock his nerves
had sustained, he favoured the reporter with the fol-
lowing statement :
" From the first moment that he (Howell) came
here, five months ago, there has always been a spirit
of devotion about him ; and although some points
were reserved for the judges, he prepared to meet his
fate immediately after his trial. When I informed
him, on Sunday morning last, that the judges had
decided against him, he gave himself up from that
time to constant prayer, and placed himself entirely
in the hands of his spiritual instructors, exhibiting the
most extreme penitence. This morning he took the
sacrament with the two prisoners who have been re-
spited. Ido not generally administer the sacrament
—I did not to the last poor woman—but I believe
their minds were in a fit state to receive it. He ap-
peared to find great comfort in the prayers of the
Communion Service, the meaning of which I had
fully explained to him on Friday_night.
When he heard from me that Walter's life was
to be spared, but his own doom remained unchanged,
he said, 4 Thank God, for sparing my poor brother
Walter's life ;' he made no complaint of his own
sentence being carried out ; not a word of any kind
escaped his lips. On Thursday, wheii he parted with
his mother, he sent word to his wife and child—he
told his mother, ' Oh, tell my dear wife to turn
from sin and serve God, and bring up my child in
the fear of God.' Up to the time the younger Howell
received the message of mercy, he was young and
thoughtless, and I could not fix his mind upon the
awful fact that he was about to die. From the mo-
ment, however, that he was told his sentence was
respited, he has been deeply overcome. After they
had left the chapel this morning, they came into my
reom and he threw his arms round his brother's neck
at parting, and several times kissed him ; his brother
enjoined him to repent, but his exact words I do not
know. Shipley also bade the criminal good-bye, and
shook hands with him, on which Howell emphatically
said, Oh, Shipley, turn from sin.' The Rev. Ed-
ward Harstson, the Rector of St. Stephens, and the
Rev. Mr. Reeve, of Trinity, assisted me in affording
them spiritual consolation before the respite arrived,
and we are all agreed that William Howell died in a
repentant and believing state of mind and heart. We
received a letter from the Secretary of State this
morning, ordering Shipley and Walter Howell to be
transported for life. We made very important com-
munications, the nature of which I cannot tell you,
to the Secretary of State, and I believe they led to
the commutation of their sentences. I doubt if Sir J.
Graham was influenced by the petition from the town."

THE MARYLEBONE VESTRY.

THE CASE OF THE REV. DR. PENFOLD.

On Saturday there was again a very full attendance
of the Marylebone Vestry, at the Court-house, Mary-
lebone, created by the anxiety to hear the debate ad-
journed from Saturday last, relative to the charges
recently made against the Rev. Rector of Trinity
Church, Dr. Penfold.

The Rev. Dr. SPRY, the Rector of Marylebone,
again presided, and all the local clergy were present
on the occasion.. The Rev. Dr. Penfold also occupied
his place in the vestry. The minutes of the last meet-
ing having been read and confirmed, and other routine
business disposed of, the Rev. Chairman called on Sir
Peter Laurie, as the mover of the adjournment on the
previous Saturday, to resume the debate on the reso-
lution to appeal to the Bishop of London concerning
the 251. which the Rev. Dr. Penfold is alleged to
have improperly detained.
Sir P. LAURIE said, this important matter, which
had been so fully discussed in the vestry last
Saturday, would, he believed, be closed that day in
a most satisfactory manner.—(Hear, hear.) He was
glad to have it in his power to state that it would be
wholly unnecessary for the vestry to carry the revo-
lution which had been adopted on the first occasion,
inasmuch as the 251. had been paid into the hands of
the trustees of the Girls' Charity School.—(Loud
cries of " Hear, hear.") Under such circumstances
he hoped that the non-confirmation of the minute for
going to the Bishop of London concerning the subject,
would be at once and unanimously carried.—(Hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE EYRE had nothing further to say
than that he entirely agreed in the hope expressed by
Sir Peter Laurie, that henceforth a good feeling would
exist between the clergy and laity of the parish.
The Rev. CHAIRMAN now put the question to a
show of hands, and said he felt great pleasure in stating
that the non-confirmation of the minute was carried
unanimously.
The Rev. Dr. Penfold instantly rose, and having
made his obeisance to the chairman, left the vestry.
REPEAL OF THE WINDOW DUTIES.

A numerous deputation from the Parochial Com-
mittee waited upon the vestry to present a memorial,
signed in two hours by 638 rate-payers, praying
them, as the representatives of the parish, to take im-
mediate steps for aiding in the present movement to
secure from Government, now there was a surplus
revenue, a total repeal of the window duties.
Upon the motion of Mr. MICHIE, seconded by Mr.
H. C. WILSON, it was resolved to call a special vestry
to consider the subject, and also to call upon the
Members for the borough, and all resident Members
of Parliament, to attend on the .occasion.
The vestry then broke up.

We have more than ordinary pleasure in being
enabled to state, on the best authority , that very favour-
able accounts have been received of Si, ' William Follett's
health, and that there is every hope of kis immediate re-
turn to this country, and of his health Wing sufficiently
re-established to undertake the discharge ,of his duties in
Parliament at the commencement of the seKsion.

THE MAYOR OF PRESTON'S
FANCY BALL.
(From the PrestonShronicle.)
For the last few weeks the principal topic of conver-
sation among the ladies and gentlemen of this town and
neighbourhood has been the Costume Ball, announced to
be given by the chief magistrate of the borough, John
Paley, jun., Esq. Great were the preparations made for
the occasion, and great the skill, ingenuity, and taste,
exercised to add to its attractions, and to invest it with
every possible eclat. Those honoured with invitations
to the fete lost no time in searching the stores of his-
trionic and fictitious literature, both in prose and poetry,
as well as the pages of modern and ancient, English and
foreign history, for characters wherein to make their
debut. The popular heroes, in every department of lite-
rature, were evoked for the occasion ; and the stage had
its province invaded for new personifications and repre-
sentations, in order that aspirants, althoug,h uninitiated
in the mysteries of the " acting drama," might make
their appearance for " one night only." Peaceful
subjects became all at once warlike ; military and
naval uniforms were inquired after and engaged, with-
out even communication with the Horse Guards or
Admiralty; and swords were examined, as if the Otaheite
question had been unsettled, and the Prince de Juin-
vine had been about to pay us a visit of a less ceremo-
nious character than his illustrious father did to our So-
vereign, a short time ago. Our fair friends, though
somewhat more mysterious in their preparations, were
not a whit behind the ruder sex. The most fanciful
regions of fiction, as well as the most lovely phases of
real life, were examined for becoming attire, and the
display of Thursday evening attested the judgment and
good taste with which their researches had been directed.
It was early evident, from the almost universal ac-
ceptance of the numerous invitations, and the anxiety
each invited guest evinced to make preparations worthy
of the event, that, as a scene, it would be amongst " the
gayest of the gay," and would possess, in the annals of
oar civic hospitality, the most prominent and distin-
guished pace. These anticipations have been more than
realised. The all-evenful day, looked forward to with
so many anxious thoughts, and so many flutterings of
hope, with such fond desires to emulate and excel, has
passed with even more eclat than its hospitable promoter
had expected, or the most sanguine of the joyous guests
had ventured to hope.
The time fixed for the opening of the ball was nine
o'clock ; and, shortly before That hour, carriages began
to set down company at the principal entrance to the
Guildhall. A considerable crowd had gathered around
the building, to catch a passing glimpse of the pic-
turesque attire of the several visitors; but the erection
of a temporary porch, for the greater comfort and con-
venience of the guests, prevented anything but a mo-
mentary glance, and even this could only be caught by
those close to the door. The crowd—as crowds gene-
rally are on festive occasions—was in the best humour;
and their occasional critical observations upon the
ladies and gentlemen, their dressses, and things in ge-
neral, elicited many a hearty laugh from the bystanders.
The excellent regulations of the police prevented any in-
convenience or accident. As the company alighted, the
ladies were shown into Mr. Ewan's shop, which had
been set apart as the robing-room, in which, should oc-
casion require it, the last touch could be given to the ar-
rangements of the toilette,. before entering the hall. A
smaller apartment was fitted up for the gentlemen.
Having ascended the grand staircase, each successive
guest was ushered into the " Council Chamber," no
longer resounding with the dry details of our Improve.
ment Commissioners' affairs, or the discussion of the
"grave and reverend seigneurs," the aldermen and coun-
cillors of the borough. This was fitted up as the Recep-
tion-room ; and here, on two handsome state chairs,
sat the much-respected host, our hospitable Mayor, and
his amiable lady, the Mayoress, the former attired in
his official robes, as chief magistrate of the borough,
and Mrs. Paley in a splendid fancy dress of black velvet,
in the style of Marie Antoinette, trimmed with ermine,
with a corsage of white satin, trimmed with pearls and
lace, and a blonde dress hat and feathers. The name of
each visitor was announced on his arrival, and each then
paid his or her respects to the Mayor and Mayoress.
The Council Chamber is a handsome room, and re-
quired less of the decorator's art, for the present pur
pose, than the Town Hall. Some tasteful additions had,
however, been made to its ordinary features, and several
large pier glasses were placed in the apartment. It was
well lighted, and had a brilliant appearance. Over the
entrance to the Ball-room was a neat silvered cast of
the Prince of Wales's feathers.
Before entering into the Ball-room, we may state that
the hall usually occupied for the administration of jus-
tice was made available for dancing ; the Council
Chamber, as we have said, for the Reception-room ; and
the Guild Hall, as the Refectory.'
The appearance of the Ball-room was gorgeous in the
extreme, its plain every-day appearance being com-
pletely lost in the splendour of the decorations which
met the eye on every side. On the south end a spacious
new orchestra had been erected across the room ; over-
head, was a large east, in relievo, of the Preston arms,
the escutcheon being supported by banners, cannons,
swords, and other implements of warfare, as usual in
ornamental emblazonments. In front was a large
painting of the crest of the Prince of Wales, with
the motto of the principality, " Ich Dien ;" and, on
the right, the arms of Mr. Alderman Jacson ;
Mr. Alderman Clayton, and Mr. Alderman Ger-
man ; on the left, those of Mr. Councillor Addi-
son, Mr. Alderman Taylor, and Mr. Alderman S.
Horrocks—six of the last Mayors. On the east side of
the room was gracefully arranged some extremely neat
banner drapery, the centre object being the Queen's
arms—the side ones the arms of Prince Albert and the
Prince of Wales, all upon ermine grounds. The light
blue drapery connecting each heraldic achievement, was
relieved by several graceful festoons of roses and ever-
greens. The effect was exceedingly rich and tasteful.
At the south and in the centre, over the portrait of
George the Second, was an emblazonment, in relief, of
the Queen's arms, supported on the right by a handsome
silk royal standard, and on the other a neat union jack.
On the right hand were also the county arms, and on the
left the armorial bearings of Mr. Paley. The magis-
trates' bench was fitted up for spectators, and the steps
approaching it, covered with scarlet cloth. Instead of the
usual stern administrators of justice, there were during
the evening numerous ladies occupying the seats. No
doubt numerous decisions were given from the bench
that evening, from which, of course, no appeal lies ; as
gallantry acknowledges no higher court than the smiles
of grace and beauty. On the west side, the " prisoners'
dock" was fitted up as a tent, from which were served
ices and other refreshments. The tablet of Guild
Mayors, in the recess on the west side, was festooned
with flowers ; as were also the large mirrors on each
side—above them being ornamental devices of military
arms. The decorations here were light and tasteful, and
reflected great credit on the skill and taste of Mr. Moon
and Mr. Carr, by whom they were principally executed.
In the recess, on the west side, was a dais, capable of ac-
commodating a considerable number ; and on the op
posite side were also raised seats, the whole length of
the room.
As the company began to pour in the scene became
most animated and picturesque, and each succeeding
visitor added to the interest of the gay display. Many
scrutinizing glances were cast to detect friends in their
new garb ; and although masks were prohibited, the
change in some was so great that the most intimate ac-
quaintances could not recognise each other. Many
amusing incidents of this character occurred during the
evening ; in some instances it was a considerable time
before the incognito could be removed. Many meta-
morphoses were so strong, that we fancy some would
scarcely have known their own reflections in the mirrors.
We have, however, heard of no inconvenience resulting
from this particular feature of "Absence-of-mind-ism."
Groups of characters of every nation and age were seen ;
and as steam in our day has almost annihilated the bar-
riers of time and space, in our every.alay. -life communi-
cations with each other, and with surrounding nations, so
here did it seem as if the dates and times, which we asso-
ciate with historical records, had been swept away, and
every age and • clime were presented to the view. Not
only were these distinctions discarded, but rank was
forgotten, and, unlike parvenus in general, the lords and
ladies, kings and queens, knights and chiefs, of the
evening, esteemed it not beneath their new dignity to
make themselves agreeable with peasants and lowly
damsels. The Old English Gentleman," with frosted
locks, found favour in the eyes of the youngest beauty;
and the antiquated dame flirted with the gayest and,
most Juvenile cavalier; the inhabitants of different na-
tions met, as they ought always to do, on the best terms,
without the need of ambassadors or other diplomatic
officials, or exchange of protocols or treaties.
" All sorts of people there were seen together ;
All sorts of characters ; all sorts of dresses."
Amidst all this exciting pageantry, there must, at
times, with Many, have been an occasional reflection as
to the real object, character, and use of a fancy ball.
There may have been, doubtless there were some, who
with a calculating utilitarianism looked coldly upon the
fete, but there are many more, and we must confess our-
selves among the number of those, who rather admire
this revival of the old taste for pageantry among the
wealthier classes. In olden times this feeling begot a
degree of charity and consideration for other classes,
and particularly for the poer ; and we do not see why
the same results may not be expected at the present day.
We need not with Englishmen argue this question ;
their own frequent enjoyments are admitted to have the
effect of expanding the heart and making them more
philanthropic. Besides the employment caused by
them for many artizans and others, it likewise
prevents the growth of the unfeeling, calculating,
money-grubbing, but tasteless and unsympathising, uti-
litarian desire, of amassing mere money wealth. With
the moderate exercise of a different spirit, we should also
encourage the revival of a taste for the beautiful decora-
tions in tapestry, paintings, statues, and other articles of
uertu,rich costume, and splendidly illuminated books, in
which our ancestors delighted in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. This would soon extend to other
classes, and we should then see in our own day more of
the architectural splendours that adorned the old manor
halls, monastic piles, and yeoman's granges of England.
We are, however, now digressing ; we must resume
our narrative. The picturesque groupings to which we
have alluded, as the characters dropped in, were more
marked, and more picturesque as the sets were formed
for dancing, which commenced about nine o'clock, to the
excellent music of Horabin's well-known baaid. Cava-
liers and courtiers of the troubled times of the Charleses,
" When civil dudgeons first grew high,
And men fell out they knew not why ;
When foul words, jealousies, and fears
Set folks together by the ears,"
forgot their differences, and danced on amiable turns
together. Edward Warmsley and numerous well re-
presented highland chieftains, " all plaided and plumed
in their tartan array," were as social as possible with
the Hanoverian Georges. The Pretender was not pre-
sent, but numerous other pretenders to thrones and
titles were. From the multitude of military uniforms of
so many different nations, one might almost have ima-
gined the Allied Sovereigns were holding a congress in
