EXECUTIONS.--(Tuir MORNING.)

The following young men, convicted at the last Sep-
tember Sessions, were this morning executed before the
debtor's door, in the Old Bailey, namely, Jahn Hayes,
25 years of age, for a burglary ; George Nicholls, aged
24, for highway-robbery ; James Goulby, aged 18, for high-
way-robbery ; John Robinson, aged 19, for higbvray-rob-
bery at Bethnal-green, and Robert Mug, aged 21, also for
a highway-robbery.

At about a quarter to eight o'clock, the sheriffs, Messrs.
Farebrother and Winchester, accompanied by their under.
sheriffs arrived at Netvgate, and repaired to what was
formerly denominated the press.roo'nt, in which many an
unfortunate culprit has been relieved of the weight of his
irons, prior to being led to the place of execution. How-
ever this ignominy is now abolished, and a poor convicted
culprit no longer hears the rattling of fates, or the jing-
ling of chains.
On our entering the room, Hayes was standing at the
table engaged in prayer with the Rev. Mr. Devlrettx a
Catholic Minister. He had sat up during the night pith
two of his friends, and was joined by the Rev. Gentleman
at half-past five o'clock this morning. On receiving the
intelligence of his being ordered for execution, he was
greatly agitated; but now, owing most likely to the at-
tention paid him by his friends and confessor, he was quite
composed, and during the time occupied in pinioning his
hands and arms, he behaved in the most becoming man-
ned. This sad duty being completed, he was placed on a
bench on one side of the room, and most earnestly joined
in prayer with Mr. .Deveretix. Ile was attired in a sea-
man's jacket, duck trousers, and had a black silk necker-
chief tied loosely round his neck.
After the lapse of a few mimes, Nicholls entered the
room ; he bowed respectfully to the Sheriffs, and Hap*
made a slight inclination of the head to him : being
pinioned, he took a seat on the bench next to his fellow-
sufferer.

Goulby, who is only 1$ years of age, next entered the
room, his extremely youthful appearance, excited the
attention of all present. He appeared ready to faint.
Robinson, one of the Bethnal-green gang, on entering
approached the Sheriffs, and addressed them and Mr.
%Vontner. He then advanced with a quick step to the
officers, and being pinioned, said in an audible voice," God
bless you."
Boyce next entered. He took but little notice of what
was going on. He appeared completely absorbed in
thought, and opening his pinioned hand to the officers,
faintly exclaimed," God bless you all."
King was the last of the wretched culprits. He entered
the room, crying bitterly, and seemed lost to all religious
consolation, lie, as well as the other culprits, with the
exception of Hayes, retired to rest at an early hour last
night.
The whole arrangements being completed, the awful
procession moved on in the following order :--

The Sheriffs,
Under-Sheriffit,
Chaplain,
Hayes, attended by the Rev. Mr. Devereux,
Nicholls, Omlby,
Robinson, Boyce, and king,
Followed by the Rev. Mr. Halter and the Officers.
On arriving at the outer lodge, Hayes was immediately
conducted on to the drop, accompanied by the Rev. Mr.
Cotton and Mr. Davereux, while the executioner was en-
gaged in adjusting the rope to the beam and placing Hayes
over the drop, Mr. Baker was unremitting in his attentions
to the other culprits, who were led to the scaffold one at a
time.

On the falling of the drop, Goulby, owing, We believe,
to some mistake in placing the rope, struggled dreadfully,
and, notwithstanding the exertions of the executioner and
his assistants, he was not dead till nearly ten minutes after
the falling of the drop. Several among the crowd called
out " Murder!" and, indeed, the feelings of the whole
multitude may be better imagined than described.
Owing to the number executed, the assemblage of per-
sons in the Old Bailey was exceedingly numerous, and a
great number of Spiwitields and Betimal-green weavers
were collected there as early:aa
.91.cleek in the morning.
