MURDERS AT GREENWICH.

MAIDSToNE, Monthly. /Jug .rbis unhappy
man has, to-day, pursuatit to his sentence, suffered
the awful penalty of his crimes on l'estentlen-heat
the wont place of execution at Vaidstode. vie ta
this morning, both after as lietore his condemna-
tion, he pet sisted in a system of denial of guilt,
and in vehement protestations of iunticerice,
though he joined with apparent sincetity in those
exercises of devotion, and acknowledged with fer-
vour those great truths of religion, by which he
was taught that the confession of his crone avid
contrition fur his guilt were the best means tot se-
coring his pardon. With ibis exception, Itis con-
duct since Iris conviction has not only been becom-
ing but exemplary alas manner has not only
been resigned belt composed—sliis devotion not
only warm but ecstatic ; eo that the Reverend
Gentlemen who attended hint have barn heard to
declare, that its all their expetience they never
beheld a stronger instance of resigned piety and
apparent religious confidence. We have already
mentioned, that on his conviction and sentence he
was greatly agitated, and exhibited 'symptoms of
profound and overwhelming anguish. We have
heard, thst during all that night his restlessness
and prostration of mind continued. On the
Saturday morning lie became tranquil and re-
signed ; professing an ardent desire for the tenni-
motors of life, as the consinencemeot of his
happiness in meeting his. 'Maker, The only in-
terruption to this state of composure and rill-
gious meditation occurred in his taking leave of
his friends and relations on Saturday afternoon.
His brothers and sisters then visited his cell, to
take their last -ftirewell of him, and to beseech
as the only legacy of consolation that
he could leave them and society, for an open con-
fession of his guilt. The scene was overpowering
and heart-rending. He fell spots hie knees and
embraced them all, protesting before them and
Heaven I,is innocence of the murders. He lay
with his head on the lap of his sister for a consi-
derable time in the greatest agitation, the rest of
the family standing over him and her, and min-
gling their tears with his. In these interesting
moments, while his soul was softened by affection
and sorrow, they implored him by the most so-
lemn sanctions of religion, arid by every tender
endearment of kindred, to confess ; but he still
persisted in his protestations of innocence as to
the murders, and only assumed more calmness
and firmness in calling Heaven to attest it.—
Such
declarations he continued till his friends
were torn from him ; adding, with great em-
phasis, that of whatever crimes he was guilty
(and he allowed their extent and enormity
before God) his hands were never im'arued
in
blood. At parting, he grasped the knees
mid hands of his brothers and sisters, kissed
them, clung to them, blessed them, wept with
then), and exhibited every symptom of the must
unquenchable affection in the most overpower-
ing Iliear”s ; but still protested his innocence.
Atter that last interview with them, he remained
calm and resigned. During Saturday night .
And ttl•lt vehtl!e, Sondarhe was employed in
religioos exercises, exhibiting at times an ec-
static rapture of devotion and hope. His mind,
lie said, was filled with " hope, peace, and.
joy, in believing, " and he derived great consolation
in the consciousness of not having the weight
of blood upon his souls however gull y it might
otherwise appear to the pure eyes of his God
His declarations of innocence, whe,n questioned
of the murders, were not uttered with a dejected
countenance, or with any marks of hesitat ion,but
in a smiliog confident manner that might with less
evidence against him have hespokemm the truth of
his statement. He has been generally reported to
he a Roman Catholic, borthere was no foundation
fur the report. Mr. Argles, the Ordinary of the
gaol, has attended him since his condemna-
tion; and the Rev. Mr Rodge, of fointehonseo 014 a
pressing invitation from himself, arrived on Sa-
turday at Milidstone, to administer to him those
consolations which, from a previous communica-
tion with him, and his previous humane atten-
tions to his spiritual eondition, he anticipated
with satisfaction. He has been a careful meatier,
ever since his epprebeus on, of the n.ost esteemed
religious publications ; the latter Reverend Gen-
tleman supplied him with several tracts, from
which he _professed to have derived instruction
and consolation. He is said to have slept
soundly for the iast rwo nights, and to heve
the
taketi the (ordinary sustenante 4110 Wed i, ha by
roles of the prison. regular and com-
posed abtoner, his sopa, emit p, ace of mind, anti
his
powerful sense of religion, ate avid to have excited
toe %woofer atad sitrprise of his attendants. In the
course of yesterday h s most serines- moments Were
coon...teed dims a' from him aim acknowledgtnent
of his guilt. The reply was invariable in its sub-
stance, wad always uttered in the most emphatic
11141111er, " I did not cominit the deed ; so help me
God. In thonglit, deed, and conscience, as to that,
I am perfectly innocent." He ackuowledged,
hosvever, that lie deserved death for many crimes,
but thanked Heaven that he had nothing to do
with the murder of Mr. Bird.
At nine o'clock last evening the Clergymen took
their leave of hitn. He entreated that he might
base the Sacrament at eight o'clock this morning,
and this arrangement being made, he proceeded
to write some farewell letters to his friends, a
copy of some of which will be found in another
colorist].

ENtLiSti ()Peas douse ---The revived Opera
of The Americans was repr. tented last night, by
desire of the Duke and Duchess of KeNT, who
entered the lower stage box on the King's side
at the commencement of the piece. They were
received with cheering acclamations by 5 nu-
merous audience, which they returned in the most
graeions manner, particularly the Dnelicss, who
scented to he highly gratified with this testimony
of national respect. God Save the King was im-
mediately denhinded, and sung on the stage by the
collected body of Performers, the audience all
standing. The same loyal strain was again de-
mantied a, the end of the Opera, and repeater; with
theatame ceremony. The Royal Visitors seemed to
be much struck with the singular maniters'of the
native American Warriors, who have been trained
to thighs!) discipline with extraordinary success.
The only varia, ion in the performance was the
appearance of Mrs. H KEMBLE in Louisa, instead!
of Miss KELLY, and who not only suing the airs,
and supported the character with sufficient inte-
rest, but appeared a smart figure in her virile
attire. The unaffected attentions of the Royal
Pair to each other during the performance, pro.
(limed a very agreeable impression On the minds of
the spectators. Die following additional stanza
was particularly applauded
Long may thy Royal line,
Proud star of Brunswick, shine,
Whilst thus see sing,
Blest by a nation's prayer,
Health, joy, and bliss to share,
Long hre be Roval Pair,

Ile then rose from his knees, awl the fatal pre-
parations being made, he took a Lama of the
clergymen, exclaiming, " God bless you—the
ILord bless you!" He now aseendet: the scaffold.
When the fatal rope was hdinsted, and the drop
was ready to tail, he s?nt for Alt% findge, who
was then sittinL: in the Under. Sheriff's carriav,e.
After taking leave of hint, and on ascending the
I sc,itfuld, he addressed him in these words : " Let
me be considerf•d as the only guilty person, and
as alone deserving of what I am going to suffer:*
Mr. Itudge then said, I hope you (et; eomfortvble
in your last moments. ile replied, I do feel
