i • EXECUTION OF B. RENsHAW.—At Nottingham, on
t Wednesday last, pursuant to his sentence, was execu-
ted on the gallows near that place, B. Renshaw, for
setting.fire to a hay-stack belonging to Mr. C. Stan-
I ton, and slaughtering a ram belonging to Mr. I.
1 Dodsley, both of Mansfield. About eleven o'clock he
) left the prison, and was placed in a cart, accompanied
by the executioner, and a respectable gentleman, who
bad daily visited him during his condemnation. The
concourse of spectators was unusually great, to wit-
ness the awful catastrophe. When arrived at the fatal
1 tree, and sdme time had been spent in singing and
prayer, Renshaw himself prayed with an audible voice,'
!i and afterwards addressed the multitude for the space
if of 15 or 20 minutes, exhorting them, and especially
youth, to avoid evil company ; and this be did in a
I manner which excited the astonishment of every be-
holder. Such fortitude, unshaken confidence, and
composure, were scarcely ever before witnessed, ex-
pressing at the same time, as be had done before, his
assurance of the mercy of GOD. After he was turned
off, the noose of the rope moved under his chin, and
'I it was deemed proper to put him into the cart, that
the rope might be adjusted afresh ; after which he
was turned off again. This circumstance occasioned
a considerable sensation among the spectators, who
generall y expressed their abhorrence at the executioner,
to whose carelessness they attributed the accident.—
After hanging the usual time, his body was given to
his friends for interment at Mansfield.
I 'I he opinion of the Learned, that neatly one third of matik'n4
is lo,t by improper treatment, must be considered an absolute
fact, wilLn daily ;tract ce proves that children at ihe breast a; e

ate, even convul ions; but the adult is equally subject to the like,
and unfortunately for theusands, they know. not the cause.
I Those afflicted with shooting pains in the stomach or seat, head-
, ads, irregolar :ppetete, offeniive breath, sickness, &c. may be
assured the cause is Worms, as can be proved by tome of the
