TcvErts.—To prevent the spreading of an infectious
fever, take an ounce of saltpetre, to which add is
' much hot water as will dissolve it ; then.draw shreds
of writing paper through it, and when dry hnrn them
in the sick room frequently, and occasionally in other
.parts of the house.

j The highway robbery for which Cry& received
sentence of death at Peterborough Sessions hit week,
I was attended with the following circumstances :
Hugh Martin, the prosecutor, a poor frlifntsan, who
hadbeen at harvest-work in -Cambridgeshire, was re-
, turning through PeterboroUgh, on his road to his dear
land of /water:, on the evenink of the 29th ult. When
he met the prisoner (it being.nearly dark), and asked
him if he cold(' chew him the way to a lodginwhoUse ?
The prisoner (who is also an Irishman), -knowing
from the prosecutor's voice that he was a countrymrtn,
answered " No, I cannot ; but rather than you shall
go without a bed, you shall have half of mine."—
" Good luck to your Honour," said Pat, 44 will you
go into this public-house and have a glass of rum ?"
To this the prisoner readily -assented ; and they sat
drinking till about half-past ten, when they left the
house ; and soon after, instead of finding himself in
the prisoner's bed-room, the poor fellow was conducted
into a field near the town, where the prisoner left him,
and shortly afterwards returned with another man,
who knocked the prosecutor down, toOk fromblin all
his hard earnings, and cut off the feet of his stockings,
under the supposition that bank notes might have been
concealedthere. They thenleft him ; and the night being
exceedingly dark, the prosecutor could not find his way
out of the field,bot remained there all night. As soon as
it was light, he found hismay to Peterborough,and was
discovered sitting on a stone lamenting his loss, when,
upon being asked the cause, he related it with so much
'artlessness, and described the prisoner with such ac-
curacy, that he was apprehended upon parade, and'
committed 0 prison. It was proved by a soldicir with,
whom he was quartered, that he was out of his guar.'
ten on the night of the robbery, and his evidence beini
, co: roborated by other testimony, the Jury found the)
prisoner Guilty.
ExECUTlON.—Wednesday last, William Smith-and'
John Clarke, the two men convicted of a robbery in
the shop of Mr. Fletcher, watch-maker, Ste. in Ches
ter, were executed, pursuant to their sentence, on the
New Drop, at the back Df the city gaol. Alvat a
quarter before one, Smith mounted the platform in a
firm and steady manner, followed by Clarke, who ap-'
peared much emaciated and very weak. The unhap-
py men having intimated a wish for silence, Smith ad-'
dressed the immense crowd to the following purport:.
he said they beheld two unfortunate men, who were.i
brought out to die, and in a few minutes must suffer 1
the death ordained by the law. Fie made some ob-
servations on what he conceived to be improper con-
duct in his prosecutor, aid-declared solemnly to his
Gob, that he had never been in his shop and cheapen.
ed a watch, as he had stated in his evidence ; and
that the man who drove the cart down Foregate-
street, and who said on the trial that he had seen him`
(Smith) there, had.forswcrn himself. He then drew
from a side pocket the petition, which was sent to the,
Mayor and'Cotporation in their bl..lialf, and Peg uest ed•
Mr. Hughes, the gaoler, to throw it amongst the
crowd, that its contents might be made as public as.
possible ; complained mnch of some malicious person '
who had written an anonyrnousletter, threatening the-
Mayor and others, which he totally disclaimed all'
knowledge of, and which could only have been done
to prevent their receiving any mercy, had it hien in-
tended to extend mercy to them • declared he forgave
Mr. Fletcher, and all concerned in the prosecution'
from his heart, and died in peace with all mankind, in
hopes of receiving that mercy in another world which
he had never hoped for here ; and desired theprayers
of the spectators.—Clarke, in his address, also so-
lemnly denied, as he was shortly to appear in the pre-
sence of GOD, being in Cow-lane on the night of the
robbery ; said he had lust been in the'proseeitties shop
for the space of twelve years before the robbery • an
a
.had not had a piece of Watch glass in his pocket for
several months before he left London. He then went
on nearly to the same effect as his fellow-sufferer had
done, and desired the people to believe him, ns his
dying words, that Martin was not the man who rob• i
bed Taylor, and for which he is sentenced to seven 1
;hears of misery and punishment for a crime of which
he was totally innocent. lit this declaration Smith
repeatedly joined, saying' believe him ! believe him 1
and toped it would be a •cauttonto Juries in future.
who might sit upon a trial of* *maul. nature to'
theirs. They then both called upon Ono to Mescal'
-around them, and bade the world. fareitell. After
speaking they retired, till about twenty minutes be-
fore two. when they were tied up, end the curtains'
around the drop were withdrawn : after spending a
few minutes in prayer, Smith gave, the fatal signal,
and the platform dropped.. They both died very pe.
nitept, and with, manly. fortitude. Theirbeltwriourr
since. their ccuideinnalion was exempisay..
