The Room was crowded to day, and the betting very brisk till
its close, and produced great alterations, of which the following
are the chief. For the liiddlesworth. Rufus has risen to even;
and on the other hand, Pastime has gone back, and Strcery and
Bolero are entirely out of the question (the former is not expected
to start). For the Derby, Rufus is again first favourite and asunt
less third, and Tontine second for the Oaks.

EXECUTION OF PAPAVOINE.

lEOM THE ETOILE, DATED SUNDAE.

Some details have been collected concerning the last
moments of Papavoine, the accuracy of which may be
depended upon. It was about noon, when an Officer
of the Cour Royale went to him, in the prison of the
Bicetre, to conduct him to the Conciergerie ; employ-
ing, as usual, an innocent artifice to spare the criminal
the shock of a too prompt communication. The Officer
told Papavoine that the Procureur General wished to
interrogate him in his cabinet. 66 Very well," he re-
plied, " let us go." This thought so completely occa-
pied his mind, that he still believed in it, even after he
had arrived at the Conciergerie. His beard was long,
and he observed, 66 Really I ought not to appear in this
state before the Procureur-General: permit me to have
a barber." At length the horrible truth struck upon
him ! The gaoler announced to him the rejection of
his appeal, and that he must prepare for his fate. At
that moment, an expression of terror was visible on
all his features, his whole frame shuddered ; but the
crisis was only momentary ; he soon regained his com-
posure, and up to the instant of his death he betrayed
no further symptom of weakness. " Here," said the
gaoler, pointing to the venerable Abbe Montes, who
had hitherto kept at a small distance, 66 here is your
comforter." Papavoine, after a conversation with Lis
Confessor, asked for his breakfast. A cutlet was brought,
which he ate with avidity. The Procureur-General en-
tered the chamber of Pa pavoine,and remained there some
time.He was succeeded by the Count Godart de Belle-
beeuf, a Counsellor of the Cour Royale, who received
his last declarations. They were very brief, and we
are assured he persisted in saying that the derangement
caused in his intellectual organization, by long and ir-
reparable calamities, had alone prompted him to com-
mit the crime.
At four o'clock Papavoine was conducted to an
outer room, and delivered into the hands of the eaecu-
tioners, who were waiting. His appearance, naturally
sad aad gloomy, was that of cold and insensible resig.
nation. He still wore the jacket and vest of the Bicetre.
The executioners proceeded to take them off, and he
himself assisted in the mournful office. " You have my
great coat r-" Yes, it is there." "My handkerchief.
'should be in the pocket."—" It is." He never after-
wards opened his mouth. When the dreadful prepara-
tions were all ready, the collar of his shirt and his hair
being cut off, they threw over his shoulders the blue
great coat which he wore en his trial, and on the Joy
he committed the murder. The outer u icket opened.
Papavoine saw the sledge, the escort, and the immtnse
crowd, which filled the court-yard and the sqvare of
the Palais. He leant forward, and contemplated, with
a look of attentive curiosity, the spectacle, of which,
alas! he was the principal object; but his countenance
did not betray the slightest emotion. He came forth,
ascended the sledge, and the Minister of Goo placed
himself by his side. 46 Are you comfortable ? said
Papavoine to him, as he moved himself a little on ore
side to make room for him on the narrow bench. As
the procession moved along, he seemed to pay the ta-
most attention to the words of his Confessor : and se. e.

delay of the execution fur three days beyond the time originalli
fixed for it, led to a suspicion that the Royal pardon had been ex-
tended to the criminal. Great crowds, therefore, collected at the
Motel de Ville, and caUed aloud fur justice. The tumult was al-
layed without bloodshed. At last, more than 100,000 -
were satisfied with seeing his decapitation.
