officers with white wands next appeared on the step%
and retired on one side, to make way for the Rev. Mc:
Cottons the Ordinary, who led np, assisted by Mre.
Baker, the unfortunate culprit, who stepped on the
platform scarcely animated; indeed his manner evinced
more cf tkir—cnechanical march,, evidently scarcely con-
sciool of the passiiig scene;—his eyes were closed, and
his countenance was deadly pale. On being placed en
the ccaffnid he opened his eyes for a moment, and
seized Mr. Baker's hand with a cunvul.ive grasp ; but
evidently somewhat revived by the freshness of the air,
after a moment's hesitation he advanced firmly and- •
quickly to the middle of the platform, and from the
movement if his lips seemed to be engaged in earnest
prayer, he raised his pinioned a ms and hands once or
twice, as if in suopl'cation.—The executioner proceeded
to cover his head vri:h the cap, and tied his . hitio-neck-
Irindkei chief over his eyes, and then adjusted the rope.
The Itev. Mr. Cotton during this time was occupied in
reading the conclusion of the burial service.
The unfortunate sufferer stood firmly, and seemed to
he praying with great fervour; the executioner soon
concluded his preparations, and descended from the
slatform. The Rev. Mr. Baker and Mr. Cotton retired
from the criminal it few paces, and, after an agonising
moment, occupied in prayer, a signal appeared to be
given, the drop fell, and the world closed on him for
ever. He struggled, in great agony, for. a few seconds,
an i for some minutes was convulsed.

The Sheriffs did not enter the lobby leading to the.
scaffold, but having seen the unfortunate culprit placed
on the platform, immediately retired into Mr. Wontner's
house, evidently much affected. Mr. Springett left the
scaffold almost immediately on Mr. Fauntleroy's
ascending. On the drop fallings the Rev. Mr. Cotton
and Mr. Baker returned into the jail. After the body
bid hung for an hour, it was cut down, and carried
into a room adjoining the lobby.
So intense was the public curiosity to witness the execution of Mr.
Fauntleroy, that all the houses in t►e Old Bailey, that had the least
view of the fatal scaffold, were let for the accommodation of
indi-
viduals, from the first Muni to the parapet, and upon payment of
the admission fee, they were presented with a ticket, to which wits
affixed a black seal. The following is a correct statentent of the
prices taken and demanded :
At the King. of Denmark public-house—First-floor, from 12s.
to 14s. second-floor, from Bs. tb 10s. third-their, front 5s to 61. and
parapet of the house, 2s. 6d. each person.
At Mr. Luttman's, the corn-chandler, which is exactly opposite
the fatal door, the prices were iigher—The &it floor, from 18s. to
20s. second, from 15s. toles. third, from 12s. to 14s. and the roof, ss.
Wingrave's eating-house, next door, was let out at the same rate as
Mr. Luttman's, as also was that of Mr. Mullins, the broker.
Applications for places were yesterday made every moment at the
houses, and the applicants paid the fee without saying a word. In •
some instances, as much as a sovereign was given by each persosi:
and a first floor was engaged by a private party at the price of
twenty pounds.

pleted his task of walking 50 miles per day, notwithstanding the
weather has been so very much against him. ft is now considered
as certain that he will accomplish the arduous undertaking of walk-
ing the 20 days.

AN EXCELLENT VOX CHASE.

Gadaby, where a large number of Noblemen and Gentlemen as•
sernhled. The hounds were put into Cream Gorse, and in a few

speed to Thorpe Thrum!' (the hounds btilig within fifty yards of
him); ilkOm thence he went by Shill's barn, bending hit ruurse
seemingly for Burrow's Hill; but here it Wai sly Heynard de-
ceived the knowing ones, for he turned immediately to the rigl c.
and went oft to Rowland Walker's Lodge, leaving inat.y of hi
pursuers thrown out. There were only tour Gentlemen in at tlits
death, viz. Sir H. Goodrich, Captain Stuart,— Green, Esq. anti
another Gentleman, name unknown, with the whipper-in.

Fridg morning his Majesty's stag bounds hunted a stag in the
