EXECUTIONS.-(THIS MORNING.)

George Condell, for burglary, and George Watiger,
for colouring base coin, were executed this morning in
front of the Debtor's door, Newgate. Warner had for
some time expected a commutation of his sentence, founded
on the plea that he had done his best to prevent a murder,
which took place in Heron's Bay, on the body of a Revoue
officer. He had consequently indulged in an occasional
levity but ill in accordance with his situation, till late
last night, when his whole manner underwent a striking
change ; the probability of his death seemed to come home
with more impressiveness to his feelings, and for the first
time he admitted seriously the dreadful idea.—Condell'a de-
meanour, from the period of his sentence being pronounced,
was resigned, thoughtful, and submissive; he very speedily
resigned himself—as far, at least, as the natural elasticity
of the mind will allow—to death ; and listened to the
exhortations of his spiritual advisers with the most fervent
and unaffected sincerity.
At an early hour preparations were made for the execu-
tions. The Sheriffs arrived at the usual period ; rheas
Warner, placed on a hurdle, with the executioner nutted
before him, (a drawn sword in his hand,) moved first in
the melancholy procession ; Condell immediately followed, '
while the tolling of a neighbouring church bell informed
the prisoners how many minutes they had yet to 1ive..,..
On reaching the scaffold they were placed directly under
the beams, the ropes were then adjusted, and the different
officers came to bid them a last farewell. Warner's look
at this moment was inexpressible. He had evidently made
up his mind for the worst, and considered himself no
longer of this world ; but the pressure of the Sheriffs' hands,
and the low faultering voice of his companion in guilt,
called back all the feelings of the man; nature prevailed—
and he burst into tears. Condell evinced less sensibility,
but more composed piety. He too was affected, as his
the customary
cwpri ts
hand for the last time grasped Warner's ; but the struggle
was merely momentary. After the service was concluded,
sence of a silent, respectful, but by no means numerous
multitude. signalNver me'alsaunh
