EXECUTION OF MARTIN CAFFREY.

MARYBOROUGIL JULY 24.—1 have seen it some-
where asserted that the first sensation a man expe-
riences, on being condemned to the gallows, is a
feeling of suffocation ; and I am inclined to believe
ti at such was the case with this wretched culprit.
No sooner was his sentence pronounced than he
tore off his cravat, and threw open the collar of his
shirt as if gasping for breath. Me then turned round
to the spectators, and " left his death," according to
the Irish phrase, upon the Fitzpatricks, relatives of
the deceased, who had been very active in collect-
ing evidence against him. He also inveighed in
violent terms against his parish priest, the Rev. Mr.
Fanning, whose testimony formed a very important
link in the chain of evidence. He vowed that,
living or dead, he would be revenged of him and his
other prosectitors. A buzz of approbation ran
through the Court when his doom was pronounced,
and the multitude out of doors expressed their sa-
vage joy with loud yells and acclamations. The
unfortunate wretch was afraid to leave the dock for
some time, lest he should be torn to pieces. He
continued during the night in a state of violent agi-
tation, but towards morning grew more composed,
and reconciled to his fate. He was visited by Mr.
Fanning, to whom he made the proper submission,
as well as by Mr. O'Connor, the Roman Catho-
lic Chaplain of the gaol. To those gentlemen he
made a full confession of his guilt, and acknow-
ledged that, from the moment he was compelled to
vow eternal fidelity to the unhappy young woman at
the altar, he had harboured the horrible design of
putting her to death. It is the general belief that
he was aided in the murderous work by one of the
females who lived in the house with him. At the
second inquest a person deposed to having seen two
women going together towards the well about the
time of the murder ; and the caution conveyed, at
Caffrey's request, by the little girl (Margaret
M‘Daniel) to Mary Gore, that she should " not stay
at home that night," gives a colour td the suspicion.
It has been also ascertained that when the school-
master (Brennan), whose name was mentioned at
the trial, but who was not examined, entered Caf-
frey's house that evening after five o'clock, he s'ur-
prised Mary Gore in the act of undressing. It does
not appear, however, to be the intention of the
Crowx Solicitor to prosecute the inquiry any further.
This day, at two o'clock, Caffrey appeared on the
drop, attended by the two Clergymen above men-
tioned. Ha seemed but little daunted at the awful-
ness of his situation, and addressed the immense
multitude who were assembled in a strong and un-
faltering voice. lie declared that he forgave his
prosecutors, and that he was guilty of the crime for
which he was appointed to die. He died without a
struggle.
Yesterday morning a countryman knocked at the
door of the gaol, and begged earnestly to be ad-
mitted to an interview with the prisoner. This was
of course refused, and, on his urgently repeating
the request, the gaoler demanded the cause of such
an application. "I will tell you, then," said the
countryman; "about two years ago Martin Caffrey
choked my cow; and as he is now going to leave
the world, and cannot take his money along with
him, who knows but he might pay inc for her ?"
It seems that Caffrey had the reputation, whether
justly or not, of revenging himself on those who
displeased him, by destroying their cattle. This
he is supposed to have effected by thrusting a short
stick down the animal's throat, and, with a dex-
terous twist, putting an end to its existence. In
short, nothing is too atrocious not to have been be-
lieved concerning him, and mach praise is dul to
that truly patriotic Nobleman, Lord De Vesci, by
whose vigilance so daring an offender has been
brought to justice. It is expected that the Coroner,
through w'Aose neglect on the occasion of the first
inquest Caffrey had nearly escaped unpunished, will
be called to answer for his misconduct in the Court
of King's Bench.

The Earl of HUNTINGDON took the oaths
and his seat, on Friday last, for the first time.

Extract of a letter from Oporto, dated the
18th July :—The Vintage, fer London, is detained, and
may have to discharge her cargo. The Friends, for
Bristol, is also detained, but the wine can be proved to
have been shipped on order, and may be released. Other
vessels are also detained, until the authorities: are satisfied
as to the property on board. Captain Vivian, of the
Heiress, arrived in the River, states, that the Friends,
for Bristol, sailed from ()pinto on the 14th inst. in com-
pany with him, and left her over the Bar.
The Rio letters state the exchange on Eng-
land to be 301 per milrea. No prospect of peace; the
privateers still continue to harass Brazilian commerce;
the Imperial squadron is stated to be utterly useless in
protecting the commerce of their flag. The English Mi-
nister has used, without effect, every means in his power
by friendly intervention between the contending parties,
to restore peace, without effect ; and the whole coast
swarms with privateers, which set at defiance the efforts of
the Brazilian marine.

CHARGE OF MURDER AT BLACKBURN.-
The Inquest which sat at Blackburn last week, on the body
of ANX MORRIS, the young woman drowned in the canal
near that place, did not terminate until seven o'clock on
Friday evening; when the Jury returned a verdict of Wil-
ful Murder against JAMES Hucxes, the soldier, who was
committed by the Coroner to Lancaster Castle, to take his
trial for the offence. As soon as the verdict was made
known to the comrades of the prisoner, a great number of
whom were assembled in the streeb, near the Inquest-
room, a strong feeling of irritation was produced amongst
them. Having a full persuasion of the man's innocence,
they complained loudly of the verdict, and threatened to
rescue the prisoner from the constables who had him in
custody. Their irritation was increased by the taunts of
some of the people, and several battles and scuffles took
place during the evening. The soldiers were it length,
with some difficulty, sent to their barracks by the Officers,
and the prisoner was immediately sent out of tows by a back
way in a chaise towards Lancaster. On the following
evening, owing, we believe, to some insulting expressions
addressed to one of the soldiers, the angry feelinge which
had been with difficulty subdued on the preceding day,
burst forth with the utmoat fury. A number of soldiers,
with drawn bayonets in their hands, ran about the streets,
threatening and abusing every one they met, and beating
had not the Officers turn-
ed and wounding a number of persons, one or two of them
rather severely. This outrageous conduct, of course, col-
lected a large mob, and a general row commenced in th
New-square, which, in all probability, would have been
attended
the vedi
gituhard fatal consequences,
repairel to the ,pot when, with
,
some difficulty, they succeeded in quelling the disturbance,
and sending the soldiers to their barracks.—Manchester
