Lake beneath, among which we

distinguished the .
pleasure boats of Lord Ken-
mare and Mr. O'Connell. We have not, of
among any former occasion, seen so many respectable
personages oii horseback, b whom was a
young lady, deserving the utmost admiration
her superior horsewomanship and courage. She
for,
rode from the Kenmare Arms, at six o'clock,
A.M. to the ruins of Aghadoe, from thence tb
Dunloe trand,defile in Castle, nd through that
the Tountains between Tomies and M‘Gilly-
cuddy s reeks, (called the Gap). On penetrai-
ing lifto this defile, our admiration of the wild
fseenery is exchanged for a feeling of aw and an
impression of fear ; but this fair young dy. had
such a sublime idea of the grand beauties around
her, that she
,continued her tour fearlessly
through that dreadful path, guarded at each side
by steep perpendicular precipitous craigs, where
masses of enormous bulk lie tossed in all the ter-
rific sublimity of chaos, and we have known
persons, who, when they have arrived at this
spot, were so paralysed with terror, that no
earthly .reward could induce .them to ad-
vance ; hut this lady, regardless of danger,
,exchanged her horse 'for a
mountain
Shelty; and (while the guide and rest of the
party were obliged to trust to the steadiness of
their feet,) she rode along the margin of the black
Lake, and wonderful to relate, crossed Mount.
Havbe, without once parting the fleet animal qn
which she rode, a distance of seven miles, where
the Arbutus and wild Gelder hose seemed
weaving their blossomed heads, as if conscious
of the approach Of human beings. Fresh horsbs
waited at the north side* of the mountain, and
the party, after riding six miles of "the new line,
arrived before one o'clock at the base of Turk,
from whence they had a grand view of the Stlig
Hunt.—Cork Paper.

' EXECUTION. OF A FATHER AND TWO SONS?
LANCASTER, SEPT.. 29.—This day . the awful
sentence of the law was carried into effect on the
' three Heyworths, who, it will be recollected,-pleaded
guilty, at the late Lancaster Assizes, to two indict-
' tnents, one charging them with highway robbery,
and the other, with a burglary, together with a person
of the name of Jackson, son-in-law to the elder Hey-
worth." The two brothers, Roger, aged 22, and
George, aged 18, were- tried on an indictment,
charging
ofli ' gthtel them
namesof
j
with
o s,,highwayTaylor
orroabnbde
Hobert Whit-
taker, on two per-
sons
taker, under circumstances 'of the most atrocious
ebarbarity. In most of their burglaries and highway
robberies, they fell upon their victims with large
clubs, and used them in a vintner too shocking to
relate ; in none of which, it seems, had they ob-
tained any considerable booty.
On being sentenced to die, when leaving the
dock, one of them lifted his fist to Jackson, saying,
" thee, it's thee that has brought this on us r"
However, after they were removed to their cell, they
were considerably softened, and we learn from the
Chaplain, that from the time of their condemnation
to the period of execution, they have, in every
respect, conducted themselves in a manner becom-
ing their awful situation; acknowledging the justice
of their. sentence. They have also confessed that
the two younger Heyworths and Jackson were guilty
of an offence for which another person was tried
some time since, and acquitted; and wished it to
be made known to the parties concerned, that they
were the persons, and that he who was charged with
the crime was perfectly innocent. The worthy
chaplain likewise informed us, that previous to their
-being taken into custody, he understood that when
they.attended a place of worship, and it is much to
be feared but seldom of late, it was a Wesleyan Me-
thodist chapel. A clergyman of that persuasion has
attended them at their own request.
On the-evening before the -execution, the unfor-
tunate men appeared very composed, and quite re-
signed to their fate. They expressed themselves
extremely sorry for their many and deep offences,
and entertained hopes that God, through the merits
of an interceding Redeemer; would extend his mercy
to them. -

Old Heyworth had a wife, who visited him soon
after his condemnation ; but not lately. Roger's wife
came a day or two ago and took leave of him. The
youngest (George) is a single man. Jackson's wife,
the daughter of old Heyworth, visited her unfortu-
nate father and brothers yesterday; when, as in the
.former case, a distreSsing scene took place. The
unhappy culprits have given the names of a number
,of.persolts belonging to the gang who infest the
neighbourhood of 13acup, so that the police will keep
a watchful eye over them.
At an early hour crowds of persons filled the
town: As the unfortunate men were approaching
the drop, some were shouting and hooting in a most
unbecoming manner.
About 12 o'clock, the father, William Heyworth,
ascended the scaffold, and when he reached the
awful place, he viewed the preparations with appa-
rent :unconcern. The executioner having hooked
the rope to the chain,,and placed the cap over his
face, his son Roger came up, but not with that firm-
ness either of demeanour or step which marked the
Way of his aged parent, and in tears, whilst the exe-
cutioner was preparing the apparatus for Roger, the
old man with apparent composure, folded his 'hands
on his back, and stooped down asif to try the length
of fall he would have. The younger son was then
brought out, completely absorbed in grief. When
lie reached the fatal spot, he cast a wild look on the
vast crowd assembled to witness the last sentence of
the law on three men,
,a complete dread to the
.neighbeurhood in which they lived.
The executioner having made the necessary pre-
parations, the Chaplain read part of the burial ser-
vice to them. The young Heyworths prayed aloud
having done so from the time they came out, and
continued so till the drop fell, and this world closed
on them for ever. The old man, we understand,
'prayed fervently the whole time until deprived of
utterance. After the bodies had hung an hour, they
were taken down, placed in coffins, and in the even-
ing Were interred in one grave in the church-yard.—

When Mr. R. Martin first went into Parlia-
ment, he found an inexplicable indisposition in honourable
members to listen to his eloquence, and consequently con-
ceived an aversion to the, common symptoms of colds.. One
night it chanced that " a good substantial winter cough "
was heard while he was speaking"; upon which he stopped,
and addressing the Speaker, said—" Mr. Speaker, I
should like to have some private talk With any Honourable
Gentleman who will do me the favour to identify himself
with cough." Another time, some one having dif-
fered. in opinion, with: Mr. M. across a dinner-table, he
turned to the servant behind his chair, and quietly said—
" Melt the lead, John." _

The Theatre opened on Tuesday night, and
the House was crammed with holiday-folks to see Mr.
Mackay's " Baillie Nichol Jarvie" in " Rob Roy." On
his first entrance, we were somewhat disappointed ; hut he
improved upon us as the piece proceeded: The character
is not a showy one ; nor is display Mr. Mackay's forte.—
He acts to the judgment, and not to the passions ; and esti-
mating Lim by this sterling criterion, we wonder not that
Sir Walter Scoct pronounced Mr. Mackay the veritable
Baillie, according to his own conception of the son of " the
Deacon, honest man." In other quiet Scotch characters,
requiring touches of nature, Mr. M.:is equally respectable.
His range is not very extensive ; and he appears to us to.
have too
,much good sense to enlarge it to a degree that
might endanger the fame, he has acquired is "Nichol
Jarvie."—Carlisl Patriot.

. KING'S CocK-cnowEri.-:—Amon6Aheancien't
CllOOlll9 of this country, , one of matchless absurdity was
continued to so late a period as'the reign of George the
Firit. During Lent an ancient officer of the crown, styled
the King's-cock erower, crowed the hour each light with-
in the precincts of the palace. On the Ash Wednesthsy
after the Accession of the House of Hanover, at the Wipee
of \Vales, afterwards George the Second, sat down to
per, this officer abruptly entered the apartment, and in a
voice resembling the shrill pipe, or a cock, crowed " past
ten o'clock." The astonished prince, at first conceiving it
to be a Premeditated insch, rose to resent the affront ; but
upon the nature of the ceremony being explained to him,
he was satisfied. Since that 'period, this silly custom,
which was introduced .to remind the; Court of their errors
by that clarion which called back. Peter to repentance, has
been dinoatinued.—Notes of a Bookworm.

SUBSTITUTE FOR AIOuTATIoN.--in former
times it would appear as if some operations were done for
the patient and some for the practitioner. A friend of
mine met a sailor with a wooden leg, " his' precious limb
was lopped off."-" And where was it,lopped off?"—" At
St. Thomas's."--"
And what was it lopped off for?"--

that I could ever see." Mr. Hunter, who did more than
once had a patient of a similar kind, Ile was a most
ny huina.n being to lessen the frequency of' operations,
anxious man about ari operation, which in those days, were
attended almost with the formalities of an execution. Be
had got on his dress, and a profound silence reigned in the
theatre ;—the surgery-man was ordered to bring in the
patient who was :.to have his leg taken off. The surgery
, man disappeared ; in two minutes he returised, with a face
as long as the leg, solus—,” Why do you not bring in the
patient?" was demanded by the expectant operator. " Be-
cause, Sir," said the astonished surgery-man, "Because,
