EXECUTION.

The execution of PhYip Sictel and Charles Kcp-
pell, for the murder of Mrs. Richards, at Clapham,
took place this morning, at twenty minutes past nine,
on the top,of the New Jail, fiorsemonger-lane, in the
presence of as great a number of spectators as ever
witnessed a similar awful scene. Every avenue leading
to the jail, as well as the fields adjoining, as crowded.
The house tops, at the distance of Suffolk-street, were
covered with spectators, and several temporary erec-
tions were put up on the occasion. The road to
the Elephant and Castle was blocked up by cart iages
of every description, two of which were overturned,
but, fortunately, no person was hart. Some scaf-
folding gave way in Suffolk-street, and although a
number of persons came down with it, one man only
was seriously hurt.
At five minutes past nine, the Sheriffs' Officers came
on the platform, and shortly afterwards were fol-
lowed by Stoffel (the nephew of the poor murdc:ed
woman), who seemed absorbed in deep sorrow; on
getting on the platform he fell down on his knee
Keppell did not seem to have muck fortitude; and,
while the executioner was adjusting the fatal rope, he
was much agitated. Both joined very fervently in
prayer with the Rev. Mr. MANN, for a considerable
time. At the conclusion they shook hands with all
on the scaffold; and, on a signal being given, they
were launched into eternity.

Saturday, as the Birmingham and Leamington
Coach was proceeding to town, a few miles from
Leamington, the linch pin of one of the wheels being
forced out, the carriage was overturned ; when, sad
to relate, the Rev. Mr. ATTERBUAY and the coach-
man were killed ; several of the passengers were also •
seriously bruised.

The doubts and fears entertained by same, with re-
spect to the harvest, from the late rains, at e perfectly
groundless, so far as relates to the county of Surrey,
at least; the crops never looked bitter, and there is
every prospect of a prolific harvest ; even the poorest
lands, from which little or nothing was expected, have
yielded an increase far beyond thc.expectations of the
sowers.

' Neat's arm, it is said, has been so much contracted, from the
injury it received in his contest with Spring, that he will not be
able to make his appearance again in the Prize Ring ; and there
does not appear on the list any pugilist of 13 stone to contend
with Joshua Hudson, who is quite grieved on the occasion.

Cotscarss or VERONA.—Prince M , the Austrian Di-
plomatist, well known by the splendid assemblage at Ver.ma, as
having been less gifted formerly by nature, in exterior than in-
ternal adornment of the head, in other words, remarkable for
baldness, appeared at the first publickmtertainnient, as if he had
undergone a metamorphose much to his advantage, by the spell
of some friendly and potent magician, for his hair now ex.
hibited the redundancy and colour characteristic of the rosy
prime and vigour of life. All present congratulated the Prince
on the important improvement, while the Ladies were equally
desirous of knowing the Artist, that they might likewise apply
for a similar attainment of artifiF.ial excellence so greatly re..
sembling the perfection of natures. The Prince, in the plenitude
of his gallantry, invited the fair inquirers to a ball at his Hotel
on the following evening, when he would introduce the matchles
Artist to the honour of their patronage. Next night there ap-
peared a numerous assemblage at the Prince's Hotel, of rank and
beauty, when his Highness, in conformity with his promise, in-
troduced to the company, the incomparable, infallible artist, as
the first adorner of the human head in the world with luxurious
natural ringlets, in the shape of a travelling case of bottles, con-

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, JULY 28.
There were very large arrivals of all descriptions of Grain
last week, but the fresh supplies of this morning are not consi-
derable . the weather continues very unsettled, and occasions
the factors to hold out. Wbeat and Beans are materially ad-
vanced in price, but our buyers will not comply with test de-
mand ; the sales of Wheat that have been made are only to a li-
mited extent, and the finest parcels have realised an advance of
2s. per quarter on the terms of this day sennight. Barley is
also rather dearer. Beans are advanced 2s. In Peas of bode
kinds there is no variation. Oats find but few buyers, and are
quoted Is. per quartet- lower than on last Monday. The top
prig! of Flour is expected to be 600. per sack.
