EICECtifIONS AI'NIE OLD BAILEY.

This mOrning, Mury Ana James, for forging a
warrant of attorney, to dispose of 1151. Navy 5
'per tents', the property of a Mri.Elizabeth Tho-
mas, and thereby netrauding the 60.evtior and
CoMpany of the Bank of England; Charlotte
Newman, for forging
,aoid uttering divers notes.,
purporting t'o tie souse of thiN Governor and
Company Of the lank of England ; -,Wiflions
'llatChMan, for a line offence; and James Aslelt,
for burglary in the hotiSe of Mrs. Johnson, were,
'pursuant to their sentences, executed in front of
Newgate.—The execution of these unfortunate
*irninals attracted a crowd at nit early hour,
scarcely ever exceeded on such a melancholy oc-
casion ; ne few minutes before eight every place
within view of the melancholy scene was com-
pletely* filled. At a quinter past eight, the awful
ceremony commenced, when Mary Ann James
a• ea conducted on the platform, an:l was ohlige:i
to be supported daring the short time she remain-
ed berme she was turned off; she was dressed in
mourning, as was her female fellow sufferer,
Charlotte Newman, who was next brought for-
mod.- Hatchman 'followed Newman in a few se-
conds, and atter bowing to the surrounding mul-
titud-z, resigned himself to the executioner, who,
af,er adjosting ti e.rope around him. brought
Astcll forward, and having performed the same
awful business., left the unfortunate culprits in
prayer with the Clergyman, one of whom, in a
few seconds, gave, a signal tor the drop to fall,
which instantaneously dropped, when the Whole
of the unhappy culprits at ere lam:cited into ere,-
nity.---We have the consolation to fold that, oot-
withstanding theiimmense crowd presen,, tut ac-
cident of any material coosequence occurred.

I\IOST CALAIIITOUS ruts.

We are very much concerned to state) that the
Cotton Factory at . Coln, Badge, neat kludders-
firld„ occupied by Mr. T. Atkinson, canght fire
about five o'cloilt on Saturday morning the 14t1t
lust., and raged with such rapidity and +iolence,
that it destroyed the whole, with the machinery
and stock in the same, in half an hour. liut what
is most tragical to relate, there were about 26
persons at work, and • only nine escaped 17 (all
girls, the eldest about 19 years of age) fell victims
to the devouring:flames. The manner in vellida
this a' 'ul 'and melancholy disaster took place is
related as follows, by a boy, about 10 years of
age,,who was the unfortunate instrument of so ca-
lamitous an event. 'He says, that about five o'clock
he was sent into the card-room (which ,ts •on the
ground floor, but not. worked in the night) .+%''f;.ft a
lighted' candle*, to fetch sonic rovings, "and. in L.: -
int; them, some loose cotton lying near Caugtic
fire. He says, he tan up stairs to inform those at
work that the factory was on fire,,and then ran to
the top of the mill, under the idea of greater
safety ; but finding such incense heat and Smoke,
he again descended, and when be . came to the
stairs, under which the fire was, he laid himself
down, and rolled to the bottom, and appears to be
the last person who escaped. The two overlook crs
ancceeded in getting all the children to the top of
the Stairs (which were only a few vards from the '
door) ant! some a-them were dragged when the
stains were on fire ; the remainder, it is supposed,
were so terrified, that they ran back into th'e miii,
and were instantly suffocated; for as soon as it
was known they had returned, a ladder was im-
tnediately placed to, a window at the•opposite rod
of the Mill, to which it was thfilight they would
flee for safety, (and near which place fourteem
Were afterwards found), which was forced open ;
but the smoke and flames issuing out with such
violence,' totally precluded all possibility of
.arty
assistance' being given, nor could any thing he
beard 'of theta, although every exertion was made.,
to stimulate them toapproach the winnow.. After
this attempt to save them, 'mitte' could be formed.
what point the poor children had fled to, and int'.
medial ely a scene ensued amongst thoke withimt
which is beyond description, as the floors gave
way, anti all, in au instant, was one volume of
,fire. Fifteen bcyies are found, ant a number of
persons are employed in searching fur the rest.—
