'EXECUTION.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning, George William., for sheep and horse-
stealing; John Eagles, for a Poet-ofgee robbery; and
Benjamin Saunders, for a highway-robbery, wet--
executed before the Debtors'-door, at Newgate, Brown
having been respited.

A short time before eight o'clock, the Sheriffs and City
Officers having arrived, the above unfortunate men were
conducted from their respective cells to the Press-room,
where they underwent the ceremony of being pinioned,
without any extraordinary•emotion. Eagles appeared the
most affected. He was a short man, shabbily
_dressed, avid
was stated to have been 35 years of age, though from the
apparently care-worn expression of hie countenance, an
observer would have considered him 50 at least.

Saunders was apparently in a death-like state of
stupor during the whole of the melancholy ceremony.
—After his hands were pinioned he sat down on the cri-
minals' form and leaned his head back, as if fainting.—
Attention being paid-to him by the Sheriffs; and Arr. Wont-
Der he appeared to revive, ' and requested the latter to
write to his father, to inform him that 'he died happy.
Williams entered the room with a smile, and appeared
to meet his fate with more firmness than the others.=.--
His hands being bound, they proceeded to the fatal engine.
The procession headed by the Sheriffs and Dr. Cotton.

While Eagles made his last exertion to ascend the step's-
of the scaffold, the other two were seated in the soup-room.
After leaving the press-room they never spoke ; Saunders
followed, and was placed nest to Eagles, in the same ap-
parent stupor in which be left his cell. Williams was the
last to mount the fatal platform. When reminded that
it was his turn, he arose from his seat with c
mac of manliness, and advanced unaided; the tears,
however, gushed from his eyes as he placed his foot
on the first step of the stairs. He yet seemed to
make an effort to die with firmness, and placed hiniselfnext
to Saunders without seeming to tremble. The cap was
then drawn over their eyes, and as the drop fell a spasmodic
groan struck on the ears and the hearts of all present.—
Williams seemed to suffer the most. The others dropped
their hands at the instant the drop left dull; and moved
net again ; but the former attempted to respire for some
seconds. •

After banging the usual:time they were ant down, and
the mob divan&

THE PITT DINNER.

FROM A CORRESPONDENT OF THE muss.)
Yesterday the anniversary of the Pitt Club was held at
the City of London Tavern, Sir TnostAs Goocn in. the
Chair, supported by the Dukes of Wellington and New-
castle ; the Marquisses of Blaudtord, Salisbury,' and Do-
negal ; the Earls of Eldon, Westmorland, Bathurst, and
Falmouth ; Lords Kenyon and Farnham ; Mr. Peel, Sir
Thomas Lethbridge, &e. &c.
After the cloth was removed, the usual toasts of the
Royal Family were given from the Chair. The King's
health, that of his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence,
and the rest of the Royal Family, and the Home of Bruns-
wick, and may they never forget the principles that seated
them on the Throne of these realms, were all successively
drank. The greatest enthusiasm which was excited by
these touts, became manifest in marking passages in the
songs or glees which accompanied them, and applying them
to the recent political changes. For instance, the linet in
the anthem of " God save the King",..
" Confound their politics,
" Frustrate their knavish tricks,"
were loudly applauded, as well as the denunciation ,against
" all plotting contrivers" in the glee of " Here's.a health
to Old England." The memory of " His late' Royal
Highness the Duke of York"—" The Immortal Memory
of Mr. Pitt, and Protestant Ascendancy," were successively
given from the Chair. In giving the health of the " Earl
of Liverpool," the Chairman deplored his political death.
And in propcsing the health of " the Duke of Wellington,"
he pronounced a warm eulogium on his Grace, end on-the
Earl of Eldon—the one being the oldest of his Majesty's
Councillors, end the other the greatest Captkin of the age.
The Chairman was very indignant at such men being
made the objects of attack by ,the.publio press, Air their
honest and manly virtnee. It was shoekin.. to 'sea the=
dragged through the dirt and vilified : indeed, their treat-
ment by the press was a disgrace to the character of Eng-
lishmen, and more than coild be patiently borne by any
honest man.

The Duke of WELLINGTOX, in returning thanks, said,
that though it was true he was no longer in his Majesty's
Councils, he, was yet stanneh to the piinciples which they
were assembled to perpetuate. It was not usual, at suck
festivals, to indulge much in political allusions ; and, there-
fore, with the permission of the company, be should' not
enter into any explanation of his motives for retiring on a
late occasion from the public service. As to the calumnies
of the public press, adverted to by his Hon. Friend, and
more particularly the charge that he and his friends had
presumed to dictate to their Sovereign, he should not stop
to reply to them; indeed, it was unnecessary when he saw
that they had no effect whatever upon the minds of so re-
spectable a company. His Grace, after a short pause, as
if to refresh his recollection, rather abruptly resumed his
scat.

The Cn.unmax prefaced the health of the Earl of Eldon
with a suitable panegyric.
The Earl of Eenow, in returning thanks, said that he
was one of the oldest members of the Pitt Club, as well as
one of the oldest servants of his Sovereign then present,
having endeavour'd (as he repeatedly called Cod to witness)
to serve his King and eountry faithfully since the year 1785.
With every wish to be allowed to live and die in the ho-
nest discharge of his duties, he had long sought retirement
from official labours. He would not eondescend to answer
the calumny which had been heaped upon him by the
public press, nor would he degrade himself by any contro-
versy with any one connected with it, respecting his cha-
racter and motives; of these God and the public would
judge. He pronounced a pathetic eulogium upon the me-
mory and principles of Mr. Pitt, but remarked, with refe-
rence to their toast of Protestant Ascendancy, that he, co 111:,
never obtain from his lamented and illustrious friend, el
adequate explanation, of what were his securities for ae
pr.sservation of this Protestant Constitution, in the event
of Catholic Emancipation being carried. He was the ad-
vocate of full religious toleration, but was hostile to any
dangerous innovation upon the political power of the state.
Upon Mr. Part's health being drank, after a comparlion
by the chairman of that Right Hon. Gentleman's talents
with time of Mr. Pitt,

Mr. PEEL, in acknowledging the compliment, pronounced
a glowing eulogium on the principles and talents of Mr.
Pitt, and hoped that these meetings, to preserve the value
and remembrance of both, would be frequently held
throughout the country.
The Earl of Witancost.elen, after returning thanks for
his health, proposed that of the Chairman.

The latter, in acknowledging this compliment, became
facetious upon the late junction of the Whigs with a part of
the old Government. They had, however, taken care, at
the onset, to secure the Mint for their own use (alluding to
Mr. Tierney's office.)
The healthy, of Lords Bathurst, Harewood, Kenyon, and
other personage, present, were also drank, and severally ac-
knowledged.
It was remarkable, that " His Majesty's Ministers,"
which was one of the standing toasts of the Pitt Club, was
this year omitted, and likewise two other toasts, " The
Wooden Walls of Old. England," and " Ships, Colonies,
and Commerce." The omission of the two last could not
have been felt as complimentary to the citizens of London,
both of whose Sheriffs, and some of whose Alderalen, were
present on the occasion.
Mr. Taylor was loudly applauded in delivering " The
Pilot that weathered the Storm ;" and Messrs.- Leet,
Hawes, King, Terrail, exerted their beet vocal powers
to reserve the harmony of the company. •
On the whole the anniversary was spiritless„ the particu-
lar moment when it occurred not heizig the most favourable
for the celebration of the principles which the Club pro-
fesses to enforce. _
Soon .after 11 o'clock the company broke up.

Miss TURNER'S PETITioN.--This petition
has been favourably received by the House of
Lords, and will no doubt convince all persons
of that truly English feeling of fairness which
prevails there, and which has induced Sale and
Co. of 33k, Strand, to offer the best Wellington
boots that can be made, at one guinea the pair.
