EXECUTION.
Friday, Akrander Martih. alias Alexander Mi
was executed at Aberdeen, pursuant to sentence pallid
upon him by the High Court of Justiciary, at
Edisi-
burgh, on the 14th of July last. His crime was that cif
'stoutbrief or masterly theft, as termed in law, 'i. e.
powering or depriving by force a min of his prop**,
This atrocious act was committed by bim in the parials'
of Kemnay, in Aberdeenshire, upon an old man and $
daughter, into whose house be had forcibly entered
under circumstances of aggravation. He manifested si
_ _
Ar

_
great degree of firmass_ and resignation to his fate,,
fully acknowledging the justice of his seetence. At 15
minutes before three the unfortunate criminal entered
the Court House, genteelly dressed in mourning, and
accompanied by the Rev. Mr. THoM, Dr. KIDD, and
the Rev. Mr. PILNIIAN. He then returned thanks too
the LORD Paovose andentivactitrates for the humane
attention he had ezperi during his confinement
—About ten minutes past three he appeised bit the scaf-'
fold ; part of the 29d Psalm war sang, when the Res.,
Mr. THOM delivered a fervent prayer in his behalf, ago
ter which the unhappy criminalt in a distinct and a*.
dible voice, without faultering or hesitation, addressed
,2 4the populace at great length, particularly On
the topics which bad greatly alga his attention during
his confinement, the evils attending Sabbath-breaking
and bad company, and the ruinous tendency of these de-
relictions of duty to youth in particular; above all, ex.'
honing parents to enforce the sacred obligations of reli-
gion on their children, snits especially to avoid these fatal
errors, from which he had to date all his misforttmts.
Having ascended the drop,, he, after a short time em•
ployed in earnest prayer, gave the fatal signal about 20
minutes before four o'clock, when he was launched into
eternity ; but suffered to appearance very much for a
short time, his body being greatly convulsed. After
hanging the usual time, the body was cut down, end de-
livered to his friends, who had it soon after conveyed
away in a temporary hearse for interment. He was an
athletic young man, seemingly about 32 years of age.

Yesterday was one of the hetfeit days which we have'
experienced throughout the whole summer. The ther-
ometer in the shade, at two o'clock, was at 83 degrees
Fahrenheit. The horses ita the different stagecoaches on
the western road suffered severelp from the intensity of
the heat, three dropt down dead between Maidenhead
and London. A reaper in a field near Brantford was
struck by the heat of the sulk at one o'clock, and was
taken home in a state of delirium.
Upon wvaluation, the damage done to the growing'
crops of corn, near Dunmow, Essex. by the calasnitous
