STRANGE EXECUTION OF THE

LAW IN GREECE.

ATIIEKS, DEC. 10.—A few days since two of the
most desperate brigands that have appeared of late
years in Greece, were ordered to be executed in the
neighbourhood of the capital, although they had been
tried and condemned by the tribunal at Negropont ; the
guillotine was erected close to the Phaierum, end the
condemned were escorted from the Athens prison to
the place of execution by a troop of lancers and a large
body of gendarmes. As the Government had been
foolish enough to allow their French Bourreau to be
assassinated in ligina, without punishing the murderer,
it was with the greatest difficulty they could find any-
body to perform the duty ; however, after a great deal
of trouble, one of the prisoners volunteereo, on condi-
tion of being liberated, and immediately shipped off in
a Government vessel for Turkey (knowing the danger
he ran by remaining in Greece), besides receiving
the usual enormous fee. Arrived, however, at the
place of execution, the man made a formal demand
for the written orders for his liberation, and
openly expre:sed the little faith he reposed in such a
Government. After a great deal of discussion, the
Procureur du Roi was obliged to send back to Athens
for the necessary documents, which naturally took a
great deal of time. Every thing being at length set-
tled to their mutual satisfaction, one of the condemned
was taken from the carriage, and led into the square
formed by the military, where his fetters were taken
off, and he was ordered to march up t.) the guillotine,
a distance of some thirty paces ; but as a Greek is
naturally inclined to disobey orders, he walked round,
instead of up to the guillotine. The executioner en•
deavoured, then, to lead him the place, when a
violent struggle ensued between them ; both the mili-
tary and policemen present refused to interfere, and
they were obliged to lead" the man back to the
carriage, and the other was brought out. Having had
such a good example before his eyes, he naturally pro-
fited by it, and being a younger and stronger man, he
fairly gave the executioner and his aid a good drubbing,
so that, after a struggle which lasted three-quarters of
an hour, the executioner gave it up as a bad job. The
crowd, which was immense for this part of the world,
highly enjoyed the fun, and loudly applauded the con-
demned ; the authorities were excessively embarrassed.
What was to be done? The day had been spent in a fruit-
less effort to execute a couple of brigands. To take them
back to Athens would be too publicly publishing their
shame; they were after a great deal of discussion taken to
the Piraeus, and sent on board of a Government vessel.
For three days a Council of Ministers was held to see what
was to be done. The whole town was in an uproar ; the
weakness of the Government had never been more ap-
parent. At last it was settled in a Council of Minis-
ters that a ruse should be employed, and a detachment
of recruits were marched down to the burying-ground
of the Piraeus, and the gendarmes having brought the
condemned from the ship without their having the least
idea of their going to be executed, as they had been
led on board to hope they would be sent to the fortress
of Palamide, in Nauplia, as had been the case last
year with two others, suddenly the gendarmes opened
to the right and left, and they were shot by the detach-
ment of recruits. As this was done at a very early
hour, and as secretly as possible, for fear of refusal on
the part of the military, very le vv were present. M. Gui-
zot must now be delighted at his protege's progress in
Administration.

NEWEST LONDON AND PARISIAN

FASHIONS FOR JANUARY, 1842.
(Extracted from the World of Fashion Monthly Ma-
gazine of the courts of London and Paris.)
ROBES DE CIIAMBRE.—One in toile de ca?,himere,
trimmed down the fronts and round the bottom of the
jupe with a broad band of lilac plush ; the sleeves made
large, and in the style ala Marion. Another in fou-
lard, edged with a triple row of fringe of a middling
width ; and, lastly, one made in poult de soie, with
facings of satin down the front of the jupe ; corsage
coulisse ; the collar square-formed by a revers in satin ;
sleeves a la religieuse, with facings in satin, finished at
the wrist with manchettes of lace falling over the hand.
MORNING DRESSES.—The most favourite style is
called des redingotes Amazones ; the skirt is ample
and long, without ornaments of any kind; the sleeves
plain, and corsage buttoned close up to the throat,
finished by a small rounded turn-over collar ; a broad
velvet ribbon of a well assorted colour, is worn in lieu
of a cravat. Dresses in Ottoman velvets are now beir:g
trimmed down the front of the skirt, with sable placed
a revers united down the centre with roseats of satin
ribbon of different sizes ; the corsage tight and high up
to the throat a ceinture ; pelerine of the same mate-
rial, open in the front, and edged with three small folds,
an open collar of a moderate size in sable, plaited
sleeves with sable cuffs.

EVENING DRESSES.—A plain sleeve, double seamed,
the corsage ecussonne upon the bust, the shoulders en-
circled with a herdic in rich embroidery. For evening
and the theatre, dresses are now being made entirely
plain, without trimming of any kind ; the corsage is
made tight to the figure ; the sleeves large at the
top, and bouillonce from the wrist to the elbow ; a long
ceinture, in ruban de taffetas ; a pelerine in lace, de-
scending to the waist, and fastened with nceuds of rib-
bon, being the only ornament worn.
BALL DRESSES.—A very pretty echelle pompadour
(intended for the front of a robe de tulle) made in
roses pompons, bag a very light effect. We have also
to remark a charming toilette worn by the Princess
Clementine, being a dress in white Pekin a raies lined
with satinee in ponceau and open on each side of the
jupon. The Duchess of Nemours wore a dress all
white a double jupon.

Cars.—The most fashionable style of caps now
worn, are le bonnet coquette, le bonnet religieuse,
and la coiffure Marie Stuart. The bonnet llubarry is
also very fashionable, being formed in bouilonees of
tulle, besprinkled with small roses without leaves, pro-
ducing a very light and becoming appearance. We
must not omit to mention the cap a la Marie Louise,
which is composed of a small foundation ; a single
lappet in English lace is placed straight and flat over
the front, and falls in two negligent bandelettes upon
the shoulders on each side. A small crown of varie-
gated roses, tout mignonnes intermixed with leaves,
are placed over the forehead, forming an arch.
BONNETS.— A hat in velvet, of a beautiful French
blue, ornamented with two white aigrette composed of
velvet flowers, the inside of the brim decorated with
one in the same style. Another in black velvet, hav-
ing a rich violette in lace, ornamented on the exterior
with three leathers, one placed in the centre of the
front of the crown, another falling low at the side, and
the smallest forming an agraffe between the two ; th•
flowers underneath the brim being composed of two
clusters of scented sweet peas. Lastly, one in velvet
scabieuse, ornamented with shaded blue feathers, pos-
sess in the same manner as the black velvet bonnet be-
fore described. We must not omit a hat we have seen
in green clair de lune, rather deep at the ends, and
having very little trimming at the ears ; trimmed with
a garland of roses The, with the leaves in velvet ; upon
the front are small manci❑is, composed of sprigs of ge-
ranium rose.

TURBANS AND HEAD-DRESSES are now being made
in white gauze, and intermixed with flowers or wheat
ears in dead silver. There is also the coiffures Espag-
notes, formed by a scarf and resilie d'argent, Which is
twisted round the back of the head, forming a roll
round the back hair, the ends of the scarf being united
on one side by a large rose ; this same coiffure, en re-
sille black and gold, is also very pretty, the rose being
made in pink velva.
PELERINES.—The pelerines Cardinales are now
much in favour, they are composed entirely of lace inlet
divided by a narrow lace froncee ; in form, they are
round behind, descending rather lower than the waist,
meeting square in the front. These pelerines, when
cmade b

CLOAKS, MANTLES, AND SCARF''. Pelisses in levan-
tine and in plaided cachemire!, trimmed with velvet
camule, or fancy lace ornaments in silken cord, are most
i
in favour. Wadded pelisses n macron satin lined with
blue satin, have mostly a capuchin attached to them,
formed in velvet, beautifully embroidered, with sleeves
similarly ornamented.
GLOVES are being worn,much,ornamented.
Mouclloms.—The Batiste d ananas is now all the
rage in Paris for mouchoirs ; their whiteness, transpa-
rency, and solidity having quite ecrase the Baptiste de
la Flandre.

PUSEYISM.
(From L'Ami do la Religion.)
An English newspaper has lately been asserting that
it was unjust to attribute conciliatory opinions to ti e
Oxford school, and that it was altogether a gratuitous
assumption, that the learned divines of that so justly
celebrated University bad any desire to see the Anglican
Church make any approaches to the Roman Catholic
Church.

In reply to this rash declaration we proceed to c:te,
without any comment, a letter recently addressed to
the Rev. Norbert Woolfrey, whose solid discourses have
during the month of September last been listened to
with interest by a great number of the English in the
Church of St. Peter de Chaillot at Paris:—
" As you wish me to send you some information re-
specting the Puscyites, and I have just now some par-
ticulars to communicate which will be highly gratifying
to you, I have made up my mind to send you the fol-
lowing lines :--
"About 10 days ago two Puseyite clergymen dined with
us in the refectory, in compary with Dr. Pagani, Mr.
Furlong, and Mr. Phillips. One of these was Mr.
Bloxam#, of Oxford ; the other, whose namet I have
forgotten, is an officiating minister at Lichfield, a very
amiable man, of great piety and profound learning. He is
of a very good family. Last Sunday he taught the Ave
Maria to the school children in his church. He said
grace with us after dinner, made the sign of the
cross, took some holy water on entering the church,
prostrated himself to adore the holy sacrament
in the tabernacle, and did this a second time
on approaching the high altar. Mr. Bloxham
was more reserved with respect to these outward
demonstrations for several good reasons which Mr.
P. explained to me afterward.. o return to
the clergyman from Lichfield ; he several times spoke
of his confessor : in short he is quite a Catholic. He
told me that it was a great pity that Mr. O'Con-
nell had not made use of his influence while the Whigs
were in power to obtain a bishopric for some Puseyite
clergyman, and added, We would have sent him to
Rome to arrange matters with the Pope.' I answered,
But what would you do if the bishops were to
refute their consent ?; We would compel them,'
he replied, by a pressure from without.'
(Nous les y contraindrous, repondit-il, par une
force exterieure.') ' And what do you con-
ceive would be the principal obstacle to this re-union ? '
His answer was,' The State.' He did not, however,
appear to think that the Queen would make any great
difficulty about giving up her supremacy.
" With respect to the celibacy of the clergy, he told
me that they had all made up their minds ; only it was
hoped that the Pope would not compel those who were
already married to put away their wives, and then they
would be bound to leave certain of the sacerdotal func-
tions to be performed by unmarried priests. They are,
moreover, he assured me, well disposed to submit to re-
ordination subconditione, all the time asserting his own
belief that their present order was valid. . . . .
"At his last visit this clergyman from Lichfield
brought with him a young man, the son of a Protestant
clergyman, who was on the point of setting out for Rome
to read there, preparatory to taking holy orders. They
both came to us into the fields, where the harvest was
going on. They told us that the Pope had written a
very paternal letter encouraging them to persevere in
their endeavours ; and further assured us that among
the Protestant clergy a great number were complete
Jacobins, and rather heathens than Christians. As
for them,' this clergyman added, ' as soon as the re-
union shall have been effected, we will send them about
their business (' Nous ies renverrons') as well a; all
those who refuse to join us (ainsi que tour ceux, qui
refuseront de se joindre a nous')."

In order to show our rea'ders how this Catholic
movement in the bosom of the Anglican Church is ap-
preciated at Rome, we will transcribe a few words of
the Learned Abbe De Luca, Editor of " Annales des
Sciences Religieuses."
" There is no need to go over again the doctrines
maintained by the new school of theology in the Uni-
versity of Oxford, which is called after the name of its
leader, the School of Pusey.SS We have several times
enumerated the remarkable concessions made to the
Catholics by this rising generation of Protestant theo-
logians, either more open or better informed, than their
predecessors. We have even mentioned the Tracts
for the Times,' published periodically by the partisans
of the new doctrines

There can be no doubt that it is the intention of the
celebrated Professor Pusey to bring about, if he and his
party can muster strength enough, the reunion of the
two churches of England and Rome.

The Rev. J. illoxam, Fellow of Magdalen College.
± The Rev. F. D. Wackerbarth, who has recently joined
the Church of Rome. His " Tuba Concordim" is mentioned
in the course of the letter.

t This gentleman is probably Ambrose L. Phillips, Esq.,
Lord Shrewsbury's correspondent. He became a Romanist
some 15 years ago.
§ Mr. Newman is the real leader of the party, not Dr.
Pusey, who has no more right to give a name to it, than Ame •
ricus Vespasius had to give a name to the new world.
