is now in a course of signature. A Meeting of

The Radicals of Leeds had a meeting on Mon-
day last, to celebrate Mr.lfunt's birth-day. The
harmony of the meeting was interrupted by the
presence of an obnoxious individual, who at-
tended for the purpose Of moving, that a sub-
scription should be raised, to defray the ex.
Fences of mending the chaise in which their
champion made his entry into Leeds, on his way
to York, in March last. The gentleman was
very unceremoniously pushed out of the room,
without being allowed to state the objects of his
attendance.

A Caledonian Society is now forming in this
Riding, for the purpose of promoting good fel-
lowship, friendly intercourse, and mutual acts of
kindness amongst its members. A fund is to be

SCOTLAND.
ExEcuTrox.—(GLAsoow, Nov. 9.)—On W'
nesday, pursuant to their sentence at the
Circuit Court, Daniel Grant, Peter Crosbie,kt
Connor, and Thomas 3.l‘Colgan, suffered the hp
sentence of the law. At five minutes to Ovt
o'clock, the Magistrates entered the Hall. Gr%
walked in with a firm step, and was decently dre ,
sed in black, with weepers. Ile was modest OA
good-looking. After the devotions were finisbe7;
the other three prisoners were brought
tended by' the Catholic Clergyman here, 11.
Scott. That Rev. Gentleman addressed 1.7,t
Magistrates and the other authorities on the Pr-e
of Crosbie, Connor, 'and M'Colgan, expreo,
of their sense of their uncommon kindnes4t
and attention, while they expressed the great,er,
contrition for their improper behaviour (1114
log their trial, and trusted that they g":"'''
experience that forgiveness of man they 115
ed from God. Mr. Marshall said a few yr.° x,
for Grant. The scene then became st°_,A
ing. Grant addressed the Court, and svla
he hoped that the melancholy scene WOli.,
have a proper effect in turning many who '°-it
re
nessod it from the evil of their ways ; they. wela
young men, very young men, but they were °1
sinners ; that punishment, the anger of Cr i/%;
had at last found them out, as it would so°Peof
or later all those who continued ie the vf3l
ill-doing. Connor also said a few words f,
the same import. He seemed very much
fected, and sufficie-ntly impressed with his
tuation. M'Colgau was much in the same '01;;,
as during his trial, a quiet inoffensive-like Pea
son ; but the natural ferocity of Crosbie seci°ea
unabated. They mounted the scaffold, two °lig
two, with firmness. While there the only ip
ferent person was Crosbie; lie looked with tie
seemly curiosity to the fixing of the rope regi7i
his neighbour's neck.—They were throwo,_u;
at fifteen minutes past three o'clock, and WI
forty minutes. The three Irish lads struggl',
most horribly ; Grant died almost immediateir
Last night, the body of Grant was removed WI
the gaol at six o'clock, the bodies of the gtbei
3 criminals were waked in their cells by a ron
group till 12 o'clock; when they were dismiss'
by some persons who had authority with the4jf
and after the usual. tra,!sactions at such meetios.'
the bodies were deposited at the Gorbals' WI;
ing-ground. A dispute took place here, and Otte
the bodies had been put in the grave, they ger'
taken out and put in a different order ; but, tr,
tunately from respect for their country, the 4::
putants did not come to blows. There
nearly 200 present, most of them ' well rat"
ith whiskey."
