THE LIVERPOOL CONVICTS LEFT FOR

EXECUTION.

The sentence of death pa—ssed at the recent Liverpool
assizes on Terrell and Williams, the unfotrunate men now
in Kirkdale gaol, will probably be carried into effect on
Saturday week. Since their sentence, the wretched men
have been placed in separate cells, under the usual sur-
veillance, a turnkey remaining with each, night and day.
Both of the convicts appear fully sensible of their deplora-
ble position. They appear penitent, and their conduct
is spoken of as orderly and becoming. Terrell is under
the spiritual direction of a Romanist priest ; Williams
is ministered to by the Rev. Mr. Appleton, the respected
chaplain of the gaol. Terrell, who is only eighteen years
of age, has led an irregular life, having, within the last
five or six years, been several times in prison. He has
been once before confined in Kirkdale, and more than
once in gaol in Manchester. He asserts that he did not
intend to murder his victim when he inflicted the stab ;
and his friends are about to get up a memorial in his
favour to the Secretary of State. Williams, who is
twenty-five years of age, is a Welshman by birth. He
has sailed for about ten years in the American merchant
service ; and would appear to have no friends in this part
of the country, as he has not been visited by any one
since condemnation, nor has he yet communicated with
his relatives, if he have any, by letter. He is supposed
to belong to the neighbourhood of Carnarvon. It is a
curious fact that he appears in mistake to have murdered
the wrong man, the deceased not being the person who
had given the provocation.

NEW MAGISTRATE.—On Monday, at the Lancaster
Sessions, R. T. Gillow, Esq., of Leighton Hall, qualified
as a justice of the peace for this county.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.—The elections at the follow-
ing places are now undergoing investigation before com-
mittees, neither of which have yet come to a decision :
Athlone, Cockermouth, Dartmouth, Leicester, and
Taunton.

THE INVITATION of the Worshipful the Mayor of
Liverpool to the British Association, asking them to hold
the meeting for 1854 in Liverpool, will be laid imme-
diately before the president and council of that body by
Professor Phillips, of York.
THE REV. R. H. LUNDIE, delivered a lecture
on Tuesday last, at the Holy Trinity Church Institute,
Birkenhead, relative to the objects and working of the
Protestant Refuge for orphan and destitute children, at
Dusselthal Abbey, near the Rhine.
THE OPENING OF ST. AUGUSTINE'S SCHOOLS, Ever -
ton, will be an interesting event, several distinguished
persons interested in national education having promised
to attend. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese will advocate
their claims to support on Sunday next, in St. Augustine' s
Church.

LANCASTER ELECTION.—The election for a represen-
tative of this borough, in the room of Mr. R. B. Arm-
strong, unseated on petition, took place yesterday (Mon-
day), in the Town-hall. The candidates were Mr. John
Armstrong, brother of the unseated member, and Mr.
Thomas Greene, wbo represented the borough for 28
years, till the last election. The mayor declared the
show of hands in favour of Mr. Armstrong, and a poll
being demanded, it will take place this day (Tuesday).
DEATH OF GEORGE TAYLOR, ESQ.—Mr. Taylor, the
surveyor of inland revenue at this port, has departed this
life, much and deservedly respected, and, we regret to say,
unexpectedly, as he was attending to the important duties
of his office on Wednesday last. Mr. Taylor has long
been known in Liverpool as a gentleman and an officer of
the crown ; and few men either in or out of the service of
the revenue were more generally estimated. His aptitude
for business, coupled with his ease and polite manner,
eminently qualified him for the responsible situation which
he held; and we believe there is but one feeling amongst the
officers under his inspection and the merchants of this
port,—and that is one of general regret.
