THE FORIY-SEVENTII REGIMENT,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Albany
I Barraek,, Ts 4 of Wight, Oct. 6, 1829.
S7l', In yni:r 13,,ppr nt rlitirsday last appears a
uaragrapli, ashen fr.', the allaids lone Journal, relat-
ing to t I e 47t1, hith the following is
ail extract :—" A consid,ral,:e portion of the regi-
ment is now composed of convicts, whose terms of
transportation at Van Dieman's Land having ex-
pired, they enlisted."
As we feel confident you, as the Editor of so
highly respectable and widely circulating a Journal
as The Sun, would not wantonly injure the feeling,
of a body of men, by disseminating a libel so base,
I think it my duty, as the eldest member of the
47th Regiment (having been with it 28 years) of
giving you an opportunity of contradicting such a
degrading report, by assuring you that the assertion
of the Editor of the Maidstone Journal is a vile and
infamous falsehood. Since I have been with the
regiment only one convict has been received, he was
one of the mutineers that carried the Jane Shore
convict ship into Monte Video; he was handed over
to us at Buenos Ayres, in 1807, and in seven
months after was shot, in pursuance to the sentence
of a general Court Martial, arid that is the only
execution that has occurred in the regiment, either
by the sentence of a civil or military Court since
belonged to it, arid I believe even for twenty-five
years previously.
The Editor of the Maidstone Journal will be
dealt with in the way he deserves,
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
J. BACKHOUSE,
M ijor of the 47th Regiment.
#o* We readily insert the above, and have only
to regret that there should have been any occasion j
for the Gallant Major's vindicating the honour of his
Regiment.—EDlTOß OF THE SUN.

LOVE AND SUICIDE.

On Saturday last a young woman named Eli/t
beth Leach, aged 20 years, who was in the fatellf
of Mr. Brown, of 13arnird's-inn, Holborn, took S
quantity of arsenic which terminated her existencei
The deceased was a sister of Mr. Brookes, one t'fi
the surgeons of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, al,'
she had been courted for some time by a young to
named James 'Willis, to whom she was engaged tl
be married at the expiration of twelve months. Dig
banns had been asked in church, and the solernnie
tion of the marriage was put oil' for the above-n 4;
tioned period by the advice of her relations. ft]
attachment to Willis was of the most ardent k'll'
and until lately she appeared to anticipate the ant:;l
with her lover with the utmost delight. With',
the last few weeks her manners suddenly changii.;
instead of being cheerful and sprightly, she was dis
pirited, and weeping from morn to night. She eon
cealed the cause of her wretchedness for some tinlej
but finally communicated to a friend that she bt
reason to believe her betrothed husband was fait";
less. On Saturday last she was told that he We,
actually married, and she appeared to be hestitie
broken at the intelligence. She declared that !,
would hear the fital news from the party's own DIV,
and if she found him false, she would live no longed
She ascertained that the intelligence was true, ssto
that he was living with his wife in Fulwood's-ref„,',
Holborn. She immediately proceeded to the Pip
of Mr. Dale, a chymist, in Holborn, and purchss
three-pennyworth of arsenic, which she swallo.wed,
and walked from thence to the house of her frieribe
a Mrs. Price, in Blewitt's-buildings, to whom 5
communicated the fact of her having swallowed
son. She was taken to St. Bartholomew's Ills
tal, and the stomach-pump was used to extrac-and
poison. She lingered tilt yesterday afterneoll•
then expired.
Information was sent to the Coroner, iv.° ve
fixed the inquest for this evening. It is impost ,' in
to describe the distress the event has produced
the family of the hapless girl.

land no sinister interest is at work—there is no great eccle-

taut there is no body of men in Scotland to call forth that
ignorance and fanaticism. The Clergy of Scotland have
no interest in retaining the people in a state of thraldom—
they do not form an order in the State, nor possess any
thing of a corporation spirit, Tories, Whigs, and Re-
formers, however muds opposed to each other on dther
Matters, see here lid ratite of tantention. They view the

Church of England, which threnghont this bnsinees has
acted in so disgraceful a manner, may be assured that the
contrast above alluded to will not he soon forgotten. No
one can suppose that the Scotch are less religions than their
southern neighbours ; or, that if religions liberty was at
all threatened, the higher and middling classes of Soot-
law] would nt,t, be as zealous in opposing the evil as their
neighbours.

IRISH CATHOLIC PETITION.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE in presenting this pe-
tition, hoped that what he should say now would be for
the last time. lie could not, when he considered the
great names of persons who had been honoured with the
service of State both in this and the other House of Parlia-
ment, persons who were either in consequence of death or
otherwis no longer to be considered public property, he could
not consider this a misfortune, but he considered himsel
as extremely fortunate in having lived to see the period
arrive when the Catholic Question should be brought
forward in the way it ha been, and under circum-
stances so likely to bring it to a favourable ter-
mination.—(Hear.)—lle could not but feel that the
great body of the Catholics, whom their Lordships would
find represented by some 15 or 20,000 men, were in a
state of perfect obedience to the law, and that RsAociation
in ready abedience to the wishes of Parliament, stood
dissolved ; and that the whole body of people were now
in a state in which it would be becoming in them to re-
ceive from Parliament the boon about to be conferred on
them. During the last thirty yens the number of Ca-
tholics had increased to upwards of two millions. They
had increased in wealth, education and intelligence, as
could be shown by the best documentary evidence. The
Noble Marquis had received returns of the indictments of
twenty-five counties in Ireland, counties is vehicle
the public mind had been the most agitated : he had
also received the returns of the indictments of the counties
in England and Wales, and by comparison had found that
in Ireland one or 1,500 persons had been charged with
crime, and in England and Wales one of 750. As
to the nuineric:il majority of persons that were petitioning
Parliament on the subject. At present, he was perfectly
curtain that by far the greatest number ever in this
country, of the intelligent, wealthy, and expe-
rienced, were in favour of Emancipation, and that
many of those who opposed the projected mea-
sure, residing in little parishes, would, when they

who had at different times strenuously opposed, emancipa-

ich ard Allen,, an elderly mart, was indicted for
an indecent assault oit his niece, a girl under eleven
years of age.
The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to
twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour.
John Rogers, zin elderly and apparently irritable
Welsh gentleman, was indicted for assaulting Jane
Taylor, a potato-render, residing at Long-lane, Ber-
mondsey, on the 23d Augqt. s It appeared that the-
defendant dealt witli the prosecutrix for pcitatoes on
credit, and,• when she asked him for the money, he
assaulted her, and knocked her down ; she being ix-.
ritable, threw a potato at bins.

Verdict—" Guilty." The defendant was sen-
tenced to pay a fine of five pOUnds, and to be kept in
confinement until the fine was paid.
Mr. Tidniarsh; a respectable-looking elderly man,
was put to the bar, charged with having, on the
10th of October, assaulted, kicked, and fractured
one
.of the ribs of a Mrs. Aldridge, a respectable
lady, on the wrong side of 40 years of age.

EXECUTION-(THIS DAY.)

The Old Bailey Was this morning the scene of
the final exit of Jantes Coleman, aged' 33, and James
"r4eder, aged 21 ; the latter for a desperate high.
Way robbery near Bethnal-green, on the sth of So-
Yember when one of the party accompanying him
was riding in the character of Guy Fawkes on a
.donkey. The novel scene created a great crowd,
,and Alr.Brookes, an elderly gentleman, was knocked
down and robbed of his watch, and a large sum of
money; The prisoner, it appeared, was considered
the leader of a formidable gang, and a young man
a desperate courage.
Coleman was convicted on clear evidence of coin-
Jug; irr fact, so convinced was he of his little chance
of escape, that when the officer entered the room
Where two of the moat correct tricmlds for casting
*Linings that ever were seen were found,. Coleman
exclaimed tiatt he was a dead man. His wife was
tried with him, but acquitted.
This morning the two unfortunate culprits were
:Warned by the Choler-Sheriffs, at the usual hour,
that their end approached. Since the knowledge
of their destiny their conduct has been highly deco-
rous, 'and they were engaged in prayer the greater
part of the morning.
At exactly eight o'clock Coleman entered the
press-room. He advanced with a look of sad cheer-
fulness, and after being pinioned he walked across
the room with a firm step, and seated himself on
the form. Mr. Wormier was standing near him,
and Coleman instantly rose, and shaking hands,
thanked him for the kindness with which he had
been treated.

"Wheeler then entered. His youthful appearance
AAd terrible agitation excited the commiseration of
all present. He exclaimed, " The Lord have mercy
tentl my poor soul!" and continued praying most fer-
y during the whole ceremony. When the
!nonfatal procession was ready, he grasped Mr.
Wontuer's hand almost convulsively, and ble4sed
him with such an earnest appearance of sincerity as
deeply impressed every one. They then proceeded,
but when they had arrived nearly at the foot of the
drop, it wee recollected that Coleman's sentence
directed that he should be drawn on a hurdle to die
Place of execution, and the unfortunate man was led
back some distance to undergo the ridiculous opera-
tion of being placed in a sort of chair on a sledge,
and dragged by the turnkeys to the foot of the drop.
Surely this miserable farce ought to be abolished. It
can hardly, as practised, be considered an aggrava-
tion ef punishment, and, if not used for that pur-
Pc") why use it at all ? We can hardly think that
such a barbarous custom is retained for the sake of
illicit/it usage. 'Wheeler, in mounting the steps,
I:43wed to all present, and said, " God bless you all,
gentlemen." He then appeared more firm, and
when on the drop, and the executioner was tying
the fatal noose, he begged Mr. Under-Sheriff
Itiehardson to give from him an earnest request to
Ilia brothers and sisters to walk in the ways of God.
Coleman, who was deeply engaged in prayer, then
Mounted with a firm step, and in a few seconds they
breathed no more. Vdry few persons were present.
