EXECUTION.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning at the usual hour a vast crowd assembled
at the front of Newgate to witness the execution of Josiah
2Vall'any alias Joseph Latham, alias Josiah Jones, for
burglary; Richard Chick, for a like offence; and Richard
,G;tbrd, for personating one William Green and obtain-
ing 125/. 3 per Cent. Consols in his name, and also for
personating one Richard Mann and obtaining 271. in his
name, at the Bank of England. It appears that a pal of
Nathan's was executed in July last, and then confessed
that himself and the culprit Nathan had been concerned in
above eighty different burglaries, and that they were also
in one at the house of a Mr. Newton. Nathan was appre-
hended, and the burglary clearly proved against him. The
thieves on that occasion left a hairy cap on the premises,
Which was proved to have been worn by Nathan.
The Sheriffs having arrived, and every thing being in
Preparation, Nathan vas brought into the Bread-room ;
he appeared sullen and reserved, but bowed to Mr. Wont-
ner and the Sheriffs, requesting also of the executioner's
assistant to bind his handkerchief over his eyes.
Richard Chick entered with irons on, which fact, the
"torn having been abolished for several years, was ex-
Plaked by an intimation that about a month age he and
lour others had projected a desperate plan for escaping,
11 breaking through the ceiling. The plan, however,
was discovered before any attempt was 'mule, and the pri-
soners who were concerned in it were all put in irons. A
Person was now waiting in the room to knock off his
Clans,l Which was. effected easily, the prisoner himself ren-
-e'"urC every assistance, and being perfectly cool. The of-
fence for which he was doomed to suffer was a burglary in the
beim* of Mr. Wilson, a mercer, in Sun-street, Bishospate.
He was indicted, with his wife and with a man and wife
tenanted Elliott, but the three last were acquitted. Pro-
perty to the amount of 400/. was stolen from Mr. WU-
", and a watchman deposed that on the morning of the
robbery he saw Chick take a great quantity of goods away
tq a light cart. The entrance was effected from the ad-
Joining house, which had been hired by a person who ab-
ananded after the robbery. Chick now kissed Mr. Wont-
Iler'si hand, and was bound without a word.
, Cifford on being brought in seemed perfectly resigned
`", and prepared for his fate. Some persons were in the
r 2041, who had known him, with his friends, in happier
days, and they appeared perhaps more affected than him-
°elf ta answer to a remark from the Rev. Mr. Cotton,
be said that he was perfectly reconciled, and died happy.
The unfortunate men were then conducted to the scaf-
fold, Which they ascended with _RD apparent dread. Gif-
ford thanked Mr. Wontner in very strong terms for the in-
terest he had taken for him. Nothing occurred more than
Italial on these distressing occasions, and in a few minutes
the three Culprits were no more.

THE WEATHER.—In the earlier part of the
.reek the weather was cold and sleety. Yesterday, how-
Aer, it was quite settled, and many a score of cart loads
tl:murphies were dug out of the ground in the county of
qgin.---Elgin Courier of Friday.
MICHAELUAS MARKET.--Our Elgin Mi-
'haelmas market was held on Wednesday last ; and was
400, It the whole but thinly attended. There was a to-
lerable show of stock on the cattle stand ; but only a few
'hanged owners, and these at rather indifferent prices.—
A'l9in Courier of Friday.
During the week the weather has been as
l'ailable Mit has been throughout the season. Saturday,
:I_lntrary to preceding appearances, wag an excellent day
athe country ; Sunday wile boisterous, Monday and
pskeday very cold, and on Wednesday a great quantity of
~.-4/4 fens accompanied with a very high north wind, which
~tist have caused great damage to the shipping.—Ber-
'44 Advertiser.
STATE OF TRADE.—If there should be, at
bti time of the year, Any such improvement in the state
• trade, as should raise the wages of the people employed

thibzs are really trending. But, this improvement has'

We have bad a fair attendance of millers and dealers at
market to-day, however the trade has been confined to
needy consumers. Wheat is 3d. to 4d. per bushel lower.
Grinding Barley is in request at the quotations; The
large supplies of New Oats have reduced the quotations
full Id. below last Saturday's prices. Pease and Beans
are each Is. per quarter cheaper. The demand for Malt
is quite unsettled, considering the season of the year.
Flour is not quite co brisk in sale, and is full 2s. per sack
lower. Oatmeal is likewise dull at some reduction in price.
