GLOUCESTER. Aram 9.

Aux lianemerton, who )estoday•surrendered to takt•
her trial, and was convicted of larceny and sentenced
to seven years transportation, was this, morn rig found
dead in her cell, suspended by, a handkerchief from
the, bars of the window. She: maintained her pre-
sence of mind on heariqg the' verdict and receiving
sentence; but it was apprehended that the shock occa-
sioned by her being removed, at a late, hour of the night,
from her friends to prison, . would occasion her ti e
severest affliction. Though not handsome, her appear
ante was prepossessing. and genteel ; her dress, a black
velvet bonnet, silk pelisse, White gloves, &c. was in
the best style, and her demeannuf evidently that of a
person confident of acquittal. She spoke at considerable
length in he► defence, explaining
.the circumstances of
her case with great fluency of language and.in a supe-
rior manner to that wilier) might have been expected
from her station. The• unfortunate girl is said to be
the daughter of tespectable parents at Tewkesbury.
Her father is now married to a second. wile, by whom
he has a second family. She wrote a letter, it is said,
previous to her trial, stating: that, having brought dis•
grace on her family, whatevet might be the result, Vie
would not survive it.

Since writing the above, an Inquest has been held on
the body of Ann Hamrprrt in. Fiona the evidence of
the matron who attended her, it appeared, that on going
to her this morning at eight o'clock she found her bitting
up iu bed with her clothes on. She left her bi eakfdbt
with her, and on returning at holt past ten o'cloc k hound
her dead, and her breakfast untouched. Verdict—
Lunacy.

EXECUTION.

-... 011/•••-•-

CORK, Auu. S.
This day, at about a quarter past one o'clock, the
sentence of the law was carried into execution at the
front &f the county prison, in John Uniacke and James
Cody, frrund guilty on Thursday of the murder of
Michael O'Neil. The relationship of the parties to each
other made this a shocking and distressing case. The
culprits had been brothers-in-law to the man they
'murdered; and the prosecutriz, on whose testimony
they were convicted, was widow to the deceased,
and sister iv Cody, and sister-in-law to Uniacke
(sister to his wife.) Their rank was that of decent
tatniers. At ten o'clock, their friends were admitted
to them to take their leave, and this scene was a
sad one, as regarded Uniacke. He had to bid
farewell to his mother, brother, and sister, his wife
and his infant child of five days old. This child
was here baptized, :he brother and sister standing
sponsors. When christened he took the babe and kissed
it, and said, ,4 When you are able to speak, your mother
will teach you to pray for your unit-imitate father:—
The stile remained with him after the others bad re•
tired, and her conduct was calculated to excite general
admiration. She addressed him, and most edifyingly
spoke with him, the while stifling her own sorrow. At
length she bad to take her last leave, which she did,
preserving herself until she left his presence. Uniacke
made no declaration further than that he forgave the
world. Cody declared that he was the cause of all.
They now moved up stairs leading to the gallows, the
Rev. Mr. O'Conner by the.,aide of Uniacke, and the
Reverend Mr. Mitten with Cody. On coming in view
of the au ful apparatus, Uniacke looked stedfastly op to
it, but in no degree gave way. He ascended to the
platform with a firm step,which firmness continued with
him to the last. The silk ropes lately arrived to the City
Sheriffs, were used with them; but in consequence of
their being found short, a stool was obliged to be put
under them, to give them something of a tall. Uniacke
took hold of Cody's hand as soon as the cap was drawn
over his fiee. and the Reverend Mr. O'Connor took
Cody's other hand. Oa Mr. O.C. taking away his
hand, when he was about to descend the ladder, the
'pcor creature called out for his hand again or he should
'fall; he was shaking terribly. Mr. O.C. again took him
fai the hatid, Which he held until it dropped lions him.
Vaiacke was a decent looking 'young fellow, 24 years
41 age. Cody was a boy, aged 17. There was a vast
sinsbnir of sptctators.Southern Reporter.
