EXECUTION OF THE KEOGHS.

z

John Keogh and Patric& Keogh, who were the prin.
cipal actors in the conspiracy to murder the Maras,
were executed this day. Last night their rather, mother,
and younger brother, took their farewel: of the unhappy
men. John Keogh, who was an extremely active, well.
looking, and large man, declined considerably within
the last three days. Patrick sustained his Condition
with more nerve and firmness. An immense assem-
blage of the country population was in town this morn-
ing to witness the execution. At tw"lve o'clock a party
of the Scots Greys, Horse Police, and Infantry, sur-
rounded the front of the prison. When the eircurioner
had tied the unhappy men in the prison, the sub-Sheriff,
Mr. Duckett, addressed John Keogh, asking him I r if
,he had anything to say or communicate as his last
words ?" He replied," No, Sir,. but I forgive all. my
enemies and die I hope in peace with the wll-:1e world.'
The other man made a similar answer. They then
came on the scaffold, attended by two Roman Catholic
Clergymen. John, although in appearance a powerful
man, was hardly able to walk. His brother was ap-
parently in a condition of greater firmness. Both pri-
soners addressed the multitude, brit-fly declaring their
forgiveness of their prosecutors, and tecptesting the
prayers of all around in their last moments, but neither
expressed a word to their guilt orl nnocence of the crime
for which they'vr ere about to suffer. The caps and
ropes being adjusted, the drop fell, and after a little
struggling, both the unhappy man expired. When the
bodies had hung the usual time, they were lowered into
the coffins prepared by the sub• Sheriffs, and interred in
the gaol yard.

THE FANCY.

SPARRING Betignr.—The veteran Bitton took his benefit at the
Tennis court, yesterday. The elements were against him, but not-
withstanding he had a fair sprinkling of the Fancy' The attendance
of the Pugilistic Corps was, as usual, thin; but some of the good
ants did not forget their old friend, and Jem Ward, Min Burn,
Alick Reed, Harry Jones, and old Jack Seroggins were at their
post, and with a lung list of Commoners, afforded cedsiderable
amusement.

Ilarry Jones said he was ready to Make a match with Dick
Curds, for £5O a-aide, whirls was, the nupt he could rake; but if
any Gentleman would **Mg NM with another hfty, as Curtis had
announced be would not light for less than £lOO, there was no mao
whom he more de‘ired to meet.
Jem Ward and Carter—The whole of the Stakes for this fight
was made good at the Castle Tavern, Holborn, last night. Jena
Ward was resent; but Carter remains at Manchester. -
Young Dutch Sam and Jack Martie—These men settle their
affair of honour in November next, for £lOO a-side. Jack Martin
bas quitted busineu to go into training.

GRAND SPARRIN TREAT AT DIRMINOHAM, ON
DAY LAST,
FOR 7HZ OP PHIL ski* nom,

I, HARRY HOTS, DWI CORM, AND

OLIVCIM

Since the triumph of the Wools, curiosity has been on the tiptoe
in this town, it having been announced that Phil and his brave
allies, Harry Holt, Dick Curtis, and others, would take a " Ben"
at ?cluster Beardsworth's Repository, that Gentleman having kindly
permitted the exhibition to take place in his elegant, and not to be
surpassed, Bazar; and to add to the interest Nat the " slang" ex-
cited, that Jem Ward would take a hand in'the business ; but not so,
to the great disappointment of his admirers, from what cause re-
mains yet in the dark—he did not appeir. However, they con-
trived to dis without him, and also Dick Curtis, who, we were in-
formed on the arena, had paid his fare by one of the Brummagem
drags, but by some rum go or other he lost his blunt, as he could
not for the life on him Sod the coach ken out in time; " we wish
he may get it" again.
Three o'clock, on Monday afternoon, was the hour appointed,
and no sooner had the gates been opened' than the admirers of the
hand-y" work began to flock into the yard, Pbll looking after
the revenue. In about an hour the galleries and the vast space,
immediately underneath, were thronged, we should estimate the
company present to amount to upwards of a thousand prisons.
The funnyments commenced at about three-linnets past three,
with a set-to between a ferocious looking fellow called
Brooks and Billy Button.--The former, we unlerstonsi, fought
Matthewson sometime back, and the latter a groom, or some such
sort of chip. This was a mere bagatelle.
Ned Stockman and Parkes—This was nothing else but an out-
and-out set-to, a regular milling bout.
Harry Holt and Birmingham Davis, Statham and Richardson,
acquitted themselves to the satisfaction of the company.
Phil Sampson and Tom Oliver—Phil appeared in excellent con-
dition, considering his recent turn-up with poor Drown. Alter
tipping at each other for about five minutes, said—" Gentlemen,
for the honour you have done me, I return you manithanks.
There will be two more good sets-to yet." .lie left therring amid
great applause. •

We ilioulkl think that the benefit at least produced £lOO.

Lord HEYTISBUftY, his Maje.ty's Arnblssador to
Russia, will, it is supposed, soon set out for St. Peters-
burgh.
Mr. STRATFORD CANNING as soon as he recesses his
final instructions, will proceed to Corfu.

1111.nLisr, Aran, B.—Their Royal Highnesses the Duke
and Prince GaonGe of CUMBERLAND have left this city
on a visit to London.

Every little anecdote connected with our reallec-
tiois of our good old King possesses a lively interest.
The following fact, and we know it to be true, shows
the extraordinary memory possessed by that beloved
old man :—A young Irishman, the cadet of an old and
respectable family in the King's County, after being
gazetted an Ensign in Gisborne's Regiment, was pre-
sented to his Majesty on thus receiving his first com-
mission—a fine and forward stripling of fifteen. More
than thirty years afterwards, although he had not seen
the King, nor the King him, during that long inter-
vening time, when he was again presented at St.
James s, on being appointed, through the patronage of
the late Lord Salisbury, one of the Gentlemen Ushers,
the King looked at him intently, and said, " Was you
ever in Gisborne's May it please your MAjesty, I
was."—" I remember you well, said the good old man,
" handsome boy, handsome man, eh ! don't be angry,
it's very true."

Last night M. DE LA FOSS had a Conversazionl at
his house, George-street, Hanover square, lately occu-
pied by Mr. HEAVISIDE. The extensive Collection of
this eminent Gentleman, which is still in the Museum,
in the rear of the premises, WAS ofen to the company.
It was splendidly lighted up for the occasion, at .d the
friendly attentions of M. DE LA FOSS made the eves.
ing pass very agreeably. The Museum is extremely
valuable. It consists uf a variety of morbid specimens
of our own economy, collected by the celebrated Pro-
prietor during his extensive practice, as well as a very
numerous and choice collection of pieces, illustrative of
interesting, or still partially known, points in Ph.ysiolegy
—the development of the human fcetus—the change
of the tadpole to the frog—and the chain of pheno-
mena observable after impregnation in ov'parous ani-
mals. Amongst the scientific company assembled we
obstrved Drs. SCUD/040DR, Winn's', and Ginziwoon,
Mr. CARPICE, and Mr. HYRUM.
