CHESTER, AlltiL 28;

EXECUTION OF MILLER. FOR BURGLAR.

The deportment of Afflter, since his condemnation;
became the awful situation in which he was placed.
His attention to his religious dutie, has been frequent
and devout. From the moment his sentence was.
pronounced, he appeared to hai+e had not the least
expectation of mercy.. About nine o'clock, on the
morning of Saturday, he took a last farewel of his
wife—it was a most affecting scene, and betrayed aE
' high degree of sensibility. He exhorted her to edu-
cate their child, a boy, in the true principles of our
holy religion, and many times laniented hii tinfor;
tunate lot, in not having had proper attention paid to
his early moral pi inciples. Indeed, for a considerable.
portion of his short life, if he Was not an infidel,
he was at least unsettled in his mode of faith.—
Miller was only twenty-five years old, . but he had
long been acquainted with crime of almost every de•
scription, excepting murder. 1V hen the summont was
received .from the city offices s in the county jail, he
heard it with considerable fortitude, and walked with
much firmness to GlUver's. stone, where he WAS deli-
vered into the hands of the Sheriffs of the City. He
immediately threw himself on his knees in the cart;
and 'continued in that position thro..gh the different
streets. In the city prison, he spent the few moments
allotted to him in prayer and supplication to thb
FOUNTAIN of all Meacr ; and was followed to the
platform by Mr. KEELING, the Gentleman who at;
tended M'lnnis. Soon after he was tied up, the drop
fell, and in about two minutes he ceased t. move.—.
Monday morning, the remains of the unfortunate man
were interred in St. Mary's Church-yard, Adjoining
the grave of M'lnni&
A subscription, proposed by Mr. HunsdN and Mr.
KEELING, was entered into, to enable the wife of Mil-
ler, and her infa:.•., to proceed to Manchester ; and
several humane perscns assisted theme with linen.
In taking leave of his fellow-prisoners, Miller was
conducted to the cell of Bruce, who was allowed td
step into the narrow yard in float. Bruce was dressed
'exactly as he appeased when on his trial, and exhi;
bited the same unchanged seriousness, the satire
firm-
ness and consistency of manner. " I hope," said he
to Miller, " you have made up ,7our peace with (god,
for he only can now avail you:' He replied, that he
felt perfectly composed in that respect, and had
no doubt but GOD had heard his prayers. " I and
happy to hear it," said Bruce, " if you have made up
your peace with GOD, you have nothing to fear front
man; even the pains of death art not to kit dreaded.'

On Monday evening se'nnight, in conformity with
information on oath previously obtained, a search was •
made for some of those formidable revolutionary in=
strtiments 'called pikes, at a place called WoodhOuses,
a:joining Failsworth, near Manchester. The Civil
Power was supported by dctachments of the 7thbra;‘
goon Guards and the 85th Fent, under the command
of Major Monatsosr, of the former Regiment ; and
in one house, concealed in an upper ehainher, fifteen
pikes were discovered; and, concealed in the garden
connected with another house, three mcite were found
—in all eighteen.
.We understand that four persons applied to the"
Sitting Alderman at Guildhall, on Tuesday last, td
make depositions against the man of the name of '
Edwards, so often mentioned in the late Trials, hilt
wh ) was not brought forward as a witness. These
persons were prepared to charge this Edwards with
t'ae crime of High Treason, and that he had instigated
others to join in the atrocious attack meditated on his
Manati s Ministers. In their prop: ed depositions
they enumerated various facts in corroboration of the
charge, but all which had happened in the County
of Middlesex, not within the limits of the City, and
therefore Alderman Sir WILLIAM Domith.Lt and
Mr.. Alderman WOOD theught fit to convey the in.;
tended depositions to Lord Srostoorn, and desired
the persons to go to the Office of the Noble Lord,—
The Noble Lord wrote an answer, saying, that at
Edwards was one of the witnesses named in the list;
and was liable to be called as a witness for the Crown;
it did not appear to him that any sufficierit ground
was laid for instituting proceedings against him 1,--

' Thursday, a fatal and most melancholy accident
totk place on the river Isis, near Oxford:—Mr. Jour/ •
KF.ltk BoungE, Exhibitioner of Corpus Christi Col-
lege, and son of the Rev. J. W. BOURKE, Vicar of St.
Martin's, Shrpshire, accompanied by two other Un-
dergraduates, friends of the same Societ), was sail:-
log in a pleasure-boat, on the Oxford side of the vil-
lage of Utley, when a sudden and violent gust meet.;
ing the vessel on its tack, it was upset, and Mr. R.
perished ! The two Gentleman who accompanied him,
after having ineffectually assisted Mr.Bounxe,
til they were nearly exhausted, had hardly strength
enough to save themselves by swimming. Tiik• water;
ir, that part of the river where the miqoitune occur-
red, being particularly deep, a fall hour elapsed be
fore the body could be found ; and after so !Dag a
submersion, every assistance which professional skill
could administer, was quite unavailing. Mr. ISOURI; E
only catered the University at the conneenement of •
the prestnt Term ; and that he was the sole child of
his afflicted }arena, is a circumstance that must sea'
verety sharpen the calamity, and aggrava'te the bit•.
terness of their berearen;ent.
