THE SENTENCE.

Wednesday morning, John Dempsey and Robert
Surrage were brought to the bar to receive sentence.
The LORD JUSTICR CLERIC.—" Prisoners at the bar

—lt is with the most unfeigned reluctance, I assure
you, that the Court feel themselves constrained to
perform the present most painful duty. You have
been convicted by the verdict of a most intelligent.
patient, and attentive Jury of your countrymen, of
a wilful, unjustifiable, and heinous murder. 1 am
sorry to announce to you, John Dempsey, that the
verdict of the Jury being unaccompanied by any
implied extenuation of your guilt, there is not the
least prospect that in this world a par Jon can be ex-
tended to you ; and sorry am I to find, that the cir-
cumstances of your case would not have justified a
recommendation of mercy in the verdict finding you
guilty. Let me, therefore, most solemnly entreat
you to prepare yourself fur the approach of that dis-
solution on the verge of which you are standing.—
As to you, David S'urrage, although I shall mast
certainly concur with my learned brothers in. COllll%
municating the Jury's recommendation of mercy to
the proper quarter, you must be duly sensible that

the fate of that recommendation does not rest "iith
the Court. It is therefore incumbent on you, as wtll
as on your unfortunate companion, now that you are
shortly to appear before the judgment seat of CHRIST,
to exathine the inmost recesses of your hearts, arid to
search the Scriptures, with the aid of the religiotis
counsel of those who will be ready to administer it,
that you may be able to make your peace with Gots.
I have now to declare to you the sentence of the Court.
His Lordship now read the sentence authorised by
the Act to prevent the crime of murder in Scotland,
That they be executed at Edinburgh on Wednesday,
the 13th of December next, between the hours of
eight and len in the morning, and their bodies be af-
terwards given to Dr. ALEX. M 024110, for dissection.
The prisoners are good-looking young men, and ap-
peared in great agony of mind, particularly Surrage
who did not cease to shed tears from the time the
verdict was pronounced. Surrage is a native of Eng-
land, and Dempsey is an Irishman.

Thursday night a most melancholy accident -hap-
pened off Portsmouth. Dr. WALKER, of the Dock-
yard, having occasion to send his family and. furni-
ture to Ryde, employed one of the Dock-yard boats•
for that purpose; on the return of the boat (after
landing the family), when off the Ricker, about seven
o'clock, the wind blowing very strong from the east-
ward, she upset; the crew immediately got on her
bottom, and she being a stoat barge, they were for
some time enabled to keep abeve the water ; but the
continual dashing of the waves over them, and the
weather being very cold, caused six of them to drop
cff successively. The cries of the remaining five
were heard by a solitary vessel coming up from
Cowes at half-past eight, and who very fortunately
passing the boat to leeward, they instantly hoisted
out their boat, and with great difficulty, from the
benumbed state of the poor creatures, succeeded in
getting them on board the vessel. It is additionally
melancholy to reflect, that five of these poor fellows -
were married, and the sixth kept his widowed mother;
thus, in the short space of one hour and a half, an
aged mother; five widows, and twenty children, are
bereft of the means of existence. Their names are
Adams, Lucas, Moore, Barrett, and Payne. They
were some of the primest riggers in the Dock-yard,
and selected for the barge's crew of the King's yacht,
and had been much noticed by his Majesty for their
steady behaviour when with him during the Royal
excursion to that port.'
Coast F..xcirases, Maas-tmee, Nemesia 13.—The arrivals of
all Grain, during the last week, were exceedingly abundant, and
the supply of Wheat this morning WA. considerable from Rises
and Kent, for which there was very little demand, as only the
finest qualitits could be disposed of, and those at a decline of 45.
per Quarter from last Monday's prices; all other descriptions
were unsaleable, although offered at ss. per quarter lower than
the currency of this day sennight. Barley is from its. to 3s.
per quarter cheaper, and dull sale at that reduction. The ar-
rivals of foreign Oats are immense, and far exceed the demand,
which has caused a decline on the inferior qualities of 23. per
quarter, without the post,ibility of effecting sales In large quail
titks at that reduction. 111 Beans and Peas no alteration.
