MARLBOROUGH-S ritsET.

A Chelsea gardener was brought before the Magistrates by the
officers of St. James's, to make a proper allowance for his
illegiti-
mate child. Ile stated he had been five years in the service of the
same master, but exclusive of all perquisites, he only received ten
shillings per week.
The Magistrate was at a loss what suns he should order for the
child's maintenance, when the Ne;:dle observed, he belleied a marl;
was in cut.templation between the parties. " Eh, Jenny," exclaimed
the father, looking at her very tenderly," will you have use?"
finny, however, who was not a woman of the ordinary kind,woultl
not listen to his entreaties, and positively said she would not have
him. Thu father, a highland Scot, endeavoured to alter her mind,
and, patting the child on the cheek, said," Poor Jock ! I dare say
la; is mine ; but why had ye not told me ye were going to take this
step; and the bUsiness shoal(); have beefi.settled!" Jelin7 remained
rdlszcd kiln any answer, and half-a-crown per Ivetk

hoe: ng horn ordered, he left the Office, endeavouring to persu;de
Jcnni to rsecompany him to the Temple of Hymen.
111 NRY-LA-BONNE OFFICE.
The 11ev. Basil 'X k:od, of Dentinck Chapel, complained to the
r•,ristrate respecting a most intolerable nuisance, existing in C..:
I::..l,gcware-road, t, the Sabbath Day. On every Sunday mortrtry,
he s .id, :t was a constant practice fur persons of the lowest class cf
soci,..ty to at,s:unble at Ow angle of the Harrow and Rigest
roads, after bek; removed from the public-houses, in a state of
h:c!,riety ; their lamzttaz^ and proceedings were so very dis;tus:ing,
and they had become such a nuisance to the respectable part of
community, that many were prevented from attending
vice, fearful t,f bei!tz insulted by the fellows on the way in the stre.n,
•• le thought it his duty, for the salt:: of public decency, and far
benell: of the nei:;ld to represent tile matter to !ht..
MaListrate, in order that some effl:ier.t method might be resurted
to, to suppress in future such a disgraceful nuisance. Shortly af:r,r
tletrdep;:rttire of tl.e Iteverend Gentleman, the Landlord et' 9,,
roech and Horses public-house, in the Digevrare-road, applied -•
warrants zgainct four men, who had been in his house oil Sunl .• •
morass;; ; ejected thins at the usual time, and, 03 his refu.E • •
to re-admit them, they I;reetl the door off the hinges.—The M. •
:i••.trate immediately granted the warrants, an', directed
by proper arrangement,„ to prevent a recurretrce of the di- gns••:-
ful scene.

Cunrnus CIRCUNISTANCE.—Four months since a eee
took I:is station near a grave in the Chutch-vatd cf
Bride, Fleet-street. The animal has remained si ice
upon the spot, and is fed by several of the inhahieette
who send him fond daily. As he wilt not deeatt, a
house has nlso bt et laid for hi:e in the Chet-eh-car.ee_
The ;mimel howls when the sound of the organ is hear -,
and during Divine Service the grave-digger takes Lies
to the engimehouse. No one can tell where the thee
came from. lie sits upon a particular grave, but
there is no name or headstone, the inmate of the tenet
is also unknown.
'lle fair, which is now held near Deptford Creek, in-
stead ef Greenwich as. formerly, terminated last niget,
and wa • vi,ited by a great number of per-eas foreht
last three days. Tae shews were not nun e:ois, Les
acre was sufficient entertainment to setisly the visit,
The best company resorted to Greenwich, which wes
uncommonly gay during the holidays.
ACCIDENT OFF KANE'S WilAßF.—The bodies oft s 0
men, an infant, and two women, were yesterday found
and have been all owned. Mete ate now missing, Mr
and Mrs. Sissens, of Horn's-court, Limelsousee and a
young woman who was of the party Sissens. A
nurse, who had an infant in her arms, with great pre-
sence mind, on perceiving their danger, threw it into
the barge against which they struck, by which means
its life was saved.
EXLCUTION OF BILOSNEHAN,MgAULIFFE,
for hurning Church• Town Barracks.—Furtlzer prtica•
lars.—These men were executed on Thursday, at Gal-
lows-Green, Cork. Oti their arrival at the gallows they
knelt down, each attended by a Ciergyman, and after
reading their prayer Looks for a short time, the Rev.
Mr. O'Connor called on the -Sub-Shetifr (Henry lien-
nett, Esq.) and said that one of the unfoi timate men
had a few words to say to him. The Sheriff came for-
ward, and M'Auliffe said, " I am golty, Sir, of the
crime for which lam abort to suffer. I was at the at-
tack, but having been woended early in the affray, I
returned home, and it was afterwat ds the barrack was
burned, and the policemen killed ; but I acknowlelr.
my guilt the same as if I was there the whole time. I
am sorry for it now,ana the ouly rereration 1 can me'es.
in this world is to ackuowledes it fzeely, which 1 noe
do with all my heart, and would wish that I could per-
suade others to do the same, and take warning by or
unhappy fate; I also forgive all the world, and beg te
prayers of all persons present." Ile delivered himsce
in a clear manner, and repeated several of the sentence;
over again, and seemed desirous that it should be kuevel
to every one. Brosnehan, who was next to him, aed
heard this declaration, then said, 41 I acknowledee
freely my guilt ; I was there, and hope -UOD W:11 fOrgl%c
me." The next unfortunate man, L llis, in consequence
of the strong alibi me& out for him, said in geneed
terms, that ."as the other two made declarations, there
was no occasion for him to do the same." Tne

then spoke to the Sheriff on some family matters, which
he promised to have arranged for them, and on thi; as-
surance they reemeJ pe:.tectly satistie.J. The fatal pre-
parations having been completed, the executtor
in the act of adjusting the rope on Brosne.'in,
to his reaching the drop, when one of the C!cigyr.i,sl
desired him to desist for a moment ; to which the c.-
prit replied, quite resigne,l, " Let him, Sir ; it does n.::
matter." lle then ascended the ladder to the platfor-::,
and looking around at the dense mass of people, in a
loud and audible manner implored their prayers.—
M'Auliffe nest ascended with a firm step, and the exe-
cutioner drew the cap over Broshehan's face, and the
same with M'Auliffe, when the lattcr said, " Wait till
we take a farewell, and kiss each taller, which we will
do when he comes up," alluding to Lillis, who still re-
mained on his knees in prayer. Both pushed the cap;
off their faces, and remained praying fervently with th.!
Clergyman, until Lillis joined them. The three then
shook hands, and kisseti each other, and the caps we...e
drawn over their faces. APAeliffe, who was in the cen-
tre, held both their han,:s, on which Brosnehan took
away his hand and said, "It is better not to hold harn.,
as it might give us more pain ;" while uttering these
words the drop gave way, and this world was closea
on them for ever. M'Auliffe died without a struggle,
but Lillis and Brosnenan suffered much, partiallarlc
the latter. They were three strong men, and, in the
a‘Nful trial of name, sustained themselves with gre4:
nerve. It is a remar !citture in this case, that 8r0..-
nehan and M'Auliffe, three weeks-before theirexecutax,
were working in obscurity as labourers in London-.
