Doves', Nov. 21.—Paavmximat Escara.—As a foreign brig,
bound to Messina, was proceeding down Channel on Sunday,
she observed, near the Galloper, a floating piece of wreck, whit
a human being hanging to it for support ; and on nearer inspec-
' dna the individual proved to be WILLIAM Dawn, one of the two
Deal men who were supposed to have lost their lives in render-
ing assistance to the brig wrecked during Friday last on the
Goodwin Sands. On being taken up he was in a state of great
exhaustion, having been in the water from four o'clock on Fri-
day afternoon (the time the brig sunk) till the period of his de-
liverance, on Sunday morning. He passed through Dover this
afternoon (having been landed near Dungeness), on his road to
Deal, where, no doubt, his wife and nine children have, er•
this, been blessed with the sight of a husband and a fathers
whom they had numbered with the dead.

EXECUTION IN SCOTLAND:ABERDEEN, NOVEXZEN 1
terday George Thom, convicted at the last Circuit Court of Jits.
ticiary here, of murdering, by poison, William Mitchell, his
brother-in-law, residing at Burnside, in the Parish of. Keig, suf-
fered the awful and ignominious punishment due to his crime,
in front of the gaol in this City. Previous to his death, he wrote
a certificate in vindication of his wife, and afterwards a letter to
the family of Mitchell, expressive of his deep regret for the
offence he had committed against them, imploring their forgive-
' ness, and begging they would receive his wife with affectionate
regard, as their sister, altogether free of blame. About two
o'clock, the criminal was brought down to the lobby of the
Court-house,where hi; shroud was put on, and his arms pinioned.
He was then brought into the 011 Court. He appeared to be a
good deal agitated, and was supported to the drop, which fell
about five minutes after three o'clock, and he died without a
struggle. He was 61 years of age. The crowd which attended
was immense. The Staff of the Aberdeenshire Militia attended
the execution, and escorted the body to the College for dissection.
MULL'D SACK.--In an old work, entitled " Por-
traits, Bic. from the reign of EDWARD 111. to the Re.
volution," is this account of MuLL'n SACK, alias
JOHN COTTINGTON, so called from his drinking
mull'd sack, morning, noon, and night. He was a
most "notorious fellow:' He robbed OLivER CROW-.
WELL twice; once as he was conling out of the Pasha.
ment House, and once on Hounslow Heath; and when
at Cologne, he robbed King CHARLES ii. thin in his
exile, of as much plate as was valued at I:1500 :
" The many various neat tricks Mailtd Sack played spots Lad.
gate-hill, by making stops of coaches and carts, anti toe money
that he and his consorts got there by picking ro:kev, would have
almost been cno' to have built St. limits OttliedmL He plun-
dered a convoi of twenty of 40001. going by the foot of Shotcver-
bill, to pay the soldiers at Oxford. Several passengers, who
went along with this convoy for a safeguard, were all friOsted,
as fearing the loss of all they had ; but 'had Sack soon head
them from that perplexity, by telling them they came not to
take any money but what did as justly belong to them as to the
persons who pretended to it ; it being the Commonwealth's money,
which those great thieves at WEST 11 INST X X had fleeced out of
the Public to pay their inferno/Joni:Aries, wl o mairetaived them its
their tyranny and usurpation; while loyal honest sideects socre.ruintil
and undone by their heavy taxes, villainess plunders, itc.' '—P. 67.
—Seeing the present state of tile Metropolis w. h
regard to picking pockets, it would appear as if "Os
goo dtpkl times were coining about.
