DUBLIN, Nor. 7.

Late yesterday evening an application wp.s made to ti.e
Chief Magistrate, from the heads of the v.uious operative classes
in this City, proposing that if the lives of Mellon and Magrath were
spared, the different bodies would dionive themselves, deliver ty
to the authorities all their books and papers, and solemnly promist
never again to unite in any unlawful confederacy.
The LORD Mavoa immediately waited on the Chief Baton
(before whom the pawner. were tried), and they proceeded to.,
tether to Lord Levi son Gow.tr, to whom the t ropositiou wassail
milted. His Lordship, however, stated that the frightful Teat
cumbioation had attained such a height, and so many unfortunate
men had fallen victims to its fury, that a dreadful example wail
nec . y ; and as the crime in which Mellon and Nl..gra:h W. 1.:
concerned was one of the most cruel and sanguinary murders evei
perpetrated in a great city, Government could not interfere,
the law must take its course.

The wretched criminals, who were not aware of this application
on their behalf, have conducted themselves with a latitude worthy
a better cause. They admit the justice o! their sentence, and :twat
with resignation the awful hour that is to separate them from the
world. Immense crowds of people are surrounding Newgre, sod
the adjacent streets ate crowded to stifocation.

The unfortunsde culprits have just appeared on the chop. A
deep groan and thrilling horror best-expressed the feelings of t to
people. Every hat was raired—the cry of " Loin have mercy o•t
their souls !" burst from every lip, and in the pronouncing lit this
ejaculation, the drop was let down, and both received the fatal
fall, which seemed instantaneously to put an mit to their !Ores.
s. The bodies were suspended fur a:, hour, and wer, 1-1.-r, re
moved, under a strong guard, to the College ..f Surgs on', for the
purpose, of dissection.
An execution lira not now occurred in ibis city for some year•,
and one fur combination never happened before. The striings nest
and the horror of this oue cannot but have the best t Erect wpm the
working people.

In Turkey, nailing by the ears is an operation per-
formed on bakers, for selling light bread. There a )solo
cut in the door for the back of the culprit's head ; the ears
are then nailed to the panel ; he is lel: in this position
till sun-set, and then released ; and seldoms sustains any
permanent injury from the punishment, excqt in his re-
putation.—Mirror.
Much of the wheat sowing, en the heavy mils parti-
cularly, in this part of the kingdom, semains yet to 'Jo
done ; but the present fine weather allows the process to
proceed uninterruptedly. On the forward hods, where
the wet weather did rot interfere so much to p:event the
seed being put in in its proper season, a considerable
breadth of the plant is above ground, and it is reported
generally to be looking well.—Cheltenham Journal.
Yesterday an inquest was held at the Pied Ball, Upper-street,
Islington, on the body of Elisabeth Martin, a young woman, ag►d
at who was found drowned in the New tti•er. The deceased re.
aided with her mother, in Charlton Crescent, Islington, but no
cause could be assigned for her eumnsitting the rash act, except that
she bad been for some date past in a low desponding state•--Vey.
