A considerable crowd of people cont'nuei nesr'.y
the whole of yesterday evening, viewing tj'e pre;' •
rations nuking in Skinner:street for the tXtCtICOR cl
Cashman, the sailor, condemned for bring cneurned
with others in stealing fire-arms dot ing the rHts r 2
the 2d of December last, from the shop of Mr.
BECKWITH, gun maker, in that street, and in float
of which the execution was ordered t t take place.
A very large area was formed by posts COW,: in the
ground and conneztei with iron elsa;ns, Ind the pl r.
form vas erected mu the innerrn st nit t. All
streets and avenues leading to the pies. were also
barricadoed, to prevent the access of ear,:ages cr
horses. The workmen, in the course of these ope-
rations, were assailed with much groaning and hissing
from the multitude.
Time unfortunate convict took his leave of his frienc's
during yesterday afternoon with great conipoinr..
He said Itr had faced death in his country's cane: t• o
often to tear it in any shape. In a subsequent inter-
view with Mr. DEVEJIEAUX, the Raman C idiotic
Priest,. he expressed himself much saiisfi2d at the
prospect he had of being in a few hiours re:eased teat
a world of trial and of sufErring.
At a very early hour this morning great ttarnl•rn
of people began to flock from all qu titers to the cent
of exesumn. The enclosed space tretueen the ct.aius
and the plaform was filled with Cons:able.; rlze
chains were also lined with Constables and Stil:fieri,
and no versen sr as admitted beyond them. At ten
minutes before 4ght the awful sniemnity commenced.
The unfoitynate criminal was brought forth lions
tl•e debtors' door, Newpte, and placed on a cart, in
the usual.masnrr, between the Executioner and his
Assistant.' 'rime two Sheriffs, in their carriages, took
their stations, one in advance, and the other behind
the cart, atteaded by the Marshalmen and other City
Officers. The procession then moved onwards to
Skinner-street. The criminal was dressed in a blue
jacket and white trowsers, and displayed a very bold
demeanour.

On arriving at the platform, he descended from
the cart, and mounted with a quick and tirm
Turning found to the multitude, he addressed then►
in a lew wild and incoherent expressions, r_•peatedir
exclaiming that he died a murdered man." On the
executkner attempting to put the cap over his face,
Cashman pushed him away, and declared that ne
would die with his lace uncoverei like a true Briti•h
tar. The crowd on bearing this hvgan cheering r
all sides, and continued so for some rhinuas. Evary
thing being at last ready, the unhappy man v.as
launched into eternity. No sign of tear ever rscaFed
him, anal he seemed to die without a struggle.
The body having been suspended the usual time,
was cut down at nine o'clock, and carried back it: 4
shell to Newgate, to be given to his relations for
interment.

Detachments of Horse and Toot, were stationed
during die whole morning, in Gray's•lnn-laue. 1:,
Blackiriar's-road and other parts of the vicinity, 1,..
be ready in case of disturb Ince ; but we are
to say that nothing occurred to require &heir ititedt
rence. The multitude, though not perhaps so &cf.
'ous as on other occasions, dispersed in quietue4s, as
soon as the execution was over.

Coax EXCHANUS, MAUCH 12.—We had a ro.l
supply of Wheat from Suffolk this morning, but flay-
ing but few bnyers at market, sales were heavy :a
Monday's prices.—Pine Barley met ready sale U' la
the same terms as were obtained on ninday, but 'he
inferior qualities were rather cl.eapir.-044.
and Beaas were dull sale; aad the oid.nary
rather cheaper.
