reasonably have been expected to have b.. that nugn— t

lanes ea the part of the worthy Governor and the officers
placed ender him ; and it rosy be here mintiosed, that is
oddities to the plot which has appeared of the intention oe
destroy the wall of the geol by der. several
ether plots have come to the knogwull= of the Go-
vernor, but which we. from ohrions reasons, forbear
to notice. With respect to that of the gunpowder
a very erroneous idea has gone abroad. That two
half pounds of gunpowder had been introduced into
the prison there can be no doubt ; but the mode by
which it was introduced is, in reality, only known to the
parties immediately concerned and the Governor, veto, of
course, cannot be expected to make it public ; ad thus
give others an opportunity of making a similar attempt,
which, had it even been carried into execution, must
have proved fatal to the conspirators. A more im t
discovery, however..was nude yesterday.-- y, the
discovery that prussic acid had been introduced into the
gaol, and had got ea far towards its destination as to be
found in one of the walls of the yard in which the con-
demned culprits, ordered for execution. are allowed to
walk. A letter also, written by Newett, was stopped, in
which he declared to a friend, that though he was ordered
to die on the scaffold, he would not expire on the gal-
lows, and thus be made a public spectacle of. This, of
course, at first threw the greatest suspicion on this un-
happy culprit, and a close watch was set on him ; the pre-
caution having been taken of first removing the deadly
drug, which was contained in a bottle about the thick •
ness of a common quill.
Immediately after the friends of the mitterable
beings had taken their last farewell of them they were
most rigidly searched. Persons were placed constantly
over them, and each of them now seriously turned hb
attention to his impending fate, and the whole are des-
cribed to have behaved with becoming fortitude. Every
endeavour was made to trace out by what means the
prussic acid was introduced ; but Newett solemnly pro-
tested that he was innocent of all knowledge of the fact,
and but for the letter his assertions would no doubt have
been believed. His denial, however, had the effect of
causing the vigilance of the officers to be redoubled to-
wards the others, and so carefully were they attended to,
that any attempt of self-destruction would have proved
abortive. At an early hour Dr. Cotton, Mr. Baker. the
Rev. Mr. Edwards, Dr. Home from Berlin, with a
friend, arrived at the gaol, when the Reverend
Gentleman proceeded to the room in which the
four culprits were placed. They found them
tranquil and resigned with the excepdori of Les i
who attributed to a certain person that he had restrained
the workmen in the shop from subscribing in aid of his
unfortunate wife and child ; he, however, joined fer-
vently with his fellow sufferers in prayer, and the Sacra-
ment having been administered to them, they continued
in prayer until the arrival of the Sheriffs. At this time
there was a dense mass of persons collected, and a few
minutes before eight o'clock, the procession moved for-
ward to the press-mom, when the culprits were intro-
duced. Newett first entered, and walked up to the yeoman
of the rope with a firm step. He appeared firm and col-
lected ; but when the officer had pinioned his arms, and.
he had been led to a seat, a deadly paleness overspread
his features, and he with difficulty supported
Sandford was next ushered in. His irons had been
knocked off previously. This young man approact.ed.
the yeomen with great confidence; a smile beamed
over his whole features, and the officers having performed
their duty, he said GOD bless you aft, and took his Belt
by the side of Newett, to whom be said something which
was understood to be an advice to keep up his spirits.
Leslie next entered : he walked with a hurried step, and
there was a something approaching to wildness abouthim
which struck every one. He recognised some persons,
and while his arms were being pinioned, be turned round
and said GOD bless you all. Maynard was the IlAt
brought in. He was very much altered since his trial,
and appeared firm. Every thing being now ready, Dr.
Cotton led the way, and the miserable victims to the
offended laws proceeded to the foot of the fatal machine.
Newett ascended first, followed by Sandford,.Leslie, and
Maynard. Sandford shed tears and sobbed violently.
Leslie bid the multitude farewell ; and after a abort time
spent in prayer, the culprits were launched into
eternity. Maynard appeared to stiffer more than the
others, occasioned by the lightness of his person, but his
sufferings were soon put an end to, by the usual means ;
and thus the last day of the year closed the last earthly
sufferings of these four unhappy young men. After
banging the usual time, the bodies were cat down and
placed in separate coffins, in order to be delivered over to
eir friends.
