THE LATE DUKE OF YORK.

CORK, Jamaar U.
At Cove every mark of respect was paid to the memory
of his Royal Highness the Duke of York. On Saturday,
the day appointed for the funeral of his Royal Highness,
120 guns were fired, first SO by the Sig ship, then SO
from the fort at Spike Island, then 30 by his Majesty's
cutter Tiger, and latterly 30 from Carlisle Fort. The
bell of the Parish Church mingled its meuraftd knell
with the awful sound of the cannon, and as the last gun
was tired at Carlisle Fort, the Rags displayed in mourn.
ing were immediately lowered, and thus closed the se.
lemn scene, precisely at the moment the men went be.
low the horizon. •

When the 13th Regiment was quartered in York, the

should attend in the afternoon. As, however, by attend-
ing only on that part of the day, the most important
part of the service of the Roman Church, High Mass,
would not be heard, Mr. Rayment wrote to the Com-
mander-in-Chief, and the neat Sunday every man was

"Yesterday the Serpentine River to a certain extent
resembled a Dutch Pair. The whole southern bank, new formed
into a grivel terraria, about twenty feet in width, was covered with
gay alone:lane, and principally of fashion, from two toll four o'clock.
Tbe Ice at the western end, was warty deserted, from the bad
state produced by the drifting mew, and a partial thaw owing to
the rays of a brilliant sun. From the centre to nearly the eastern
end, the ice was tolerably clear and good. Here the shakers pram
deed their gay agile movements, in which the light quadrilles taro
arisen the best specimens. Some female parties crowed fair the
tint time. On the no, bank there was a bog line of canters.

victed at the late Kent Assures, vie. Jam Pede, for for-
guy, Jams Spraiford. aged 27, Richard Spratford,
aged 20, and Williaes Barton, aged 20, for highway

•
Amnion. and received the spiritual admonition of the
Iker. Mr. Winter, Chaplain of the Gaol, with the utmost'
attention and gratitude. During the greater pan of
Wednesday night Peek occupied himself in writing
Jitters to several individuals; the other convicts passed
a great pan of the night in sleep.
- Yesterday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, they
all partook of the sacrament, in which holy communion
they evinced every symptom cf the deepest repossesses.
About a quarter after eleven o'clock, they ascended the
waggon, which was to convey them to the spot where
they were to expiate their crimes by suffering as igno-
minious death.
The morning was excessive cold, and the snow fell
unceasingly. The crowd which assembler) to witnessate.
airnlancholy scene was immense; and it was with
r.ulty the javelin men could clear a passage in front of
the scaffold toadmit the access of the waggon, in which
the criminals were conveye4.
The Chaplain ascended the waggon, and ioinet the
INshappy men in prayer., After the Rev. (gentleman
hasp leavonf the prisoners, they contiaued is prayer
foe Mort than fivessinetes. On rising from their Ores,
the executioner (who was from London) proceeded to
perform his dreadful office. J. Peele first ascended the
platform, and the executioner immeJiately put a cap
over his face, and bound a handkerchief over his eyes,
and did thesame to each of the other criminals, directly
they placed themselves under thelatal beam. During
the whole of the preparation for death, they all continued
with south vehemence to ejaculate prayers to the
fountain of Divine mercy, calling on the SAVIOUR far
his intercession with his HILAVINLY FATHER. After
Peres left the waggon he spoke to mope, but the others
spoke to several in the crowd, bidding them farewell,
and receiving many a pitying exclamation in return.
The last fatal signal being given, the drop fell, and the
vision of earthly existence passed from before the eyes
of the sinful. Peek scarcely struggled at all; but the
other sufferers, in whom life was yet but young, wale
convulsed for some minutes after suspension.
