fixed his terms so as to place it as nearly as can be within the
reach of all who may feel disposed to avail themselves of the
advantages the present opportunity affords.

The royal mail steam-ship Europa arrived in the river
on Sunday morning, at five o'clock, with accounts from
New York to the 6th instant inclusive, having left Boston
on the 7th, and Halifax on the 9th. She brought 93

passengers, and £2,300 in specie.
The Hibernia arrived at New York on the sth, the
Washington on the 6th, and the Cambria, at Halifax, on
the 9th. The West India mail steamer, Teviot, arrived
at Mobile on the 27th ult., and had on board. for En-
gland, 450,000 dollars specie, 112,000d15. of which are on
account of the Mexican dividend.

The political news is unimportant. A series of resolu-
tions have been introduced into the Vermont Legislature,
favourable to the annexation of Canada by peaceable

means. The Atlantic and Pacific railroad scherne is fast
attaining a practical shape. An effort is being made to
establish direct lines of steamers between Baltimore and
Liverpool, and Philadelphia and Liverpool. A new
Liverpool packet-ship was launched at New York on the
sth instant, burden 1400 tons.
The total number of vessels that have left the United
States for California is as follows :-189 ships, 175 barques,
119 brigs, 83 schooners, 7 steamers, total, 573.
The ship Michael Angelo, which left Liverpool on the
2d October, arrived ht Boston on the 3d ultimo, having
lost one seaman and twenty-five passengers by cholera

during the voyage.
The Chariest n Courier of the Ist instant, says, " A
telegraphic despatch received yesterday from Camden,
S.C., states that a killing frost was experienced in that
place." The Albany Patriot (Georgia) of the 26th ult.
says, "The cotton crop in this section will be about two-
thirds of the average crop of former years. The handling
and the quality of the cotton is better than usual. The
corn crop has been gathered, and is a fair average yield :
price 50 cents per bushel. The sugar cane crop, which is
being extended every year, so far as we have been able to
learn, is very good, and it is believed will yield at least 100
dollars worth of sugar and molasses to the acre. This is
the most profitable crop raised in this section, and we
have no doubt that it will be greatly increased within a
few years. The weather is cool and pleasant. We have
had no frost yet. The country continues to be healthy."
The British American League had held its second meet-
ing at Toronto, and, according to the telegraphic dis-
patches, had resolved to petition the Queen for a return
to protection. It was supposed that resolutions would

About eighty members were present—afalling off from
t le first treeting—and the principal speakers were Messrs.
Gamble, Gowan, and Ferres. On the side of the govern-
ment, inquiries were being made as to what part the bar-
risters of Montreal and the militia generally had borne
in the movement. Two queen's counsel had been de-
privei of their honorary degrees; and it had been deter-
mined to dismiss from the service of the crown all impli-
cated. From other sources we learn that L. J: Papineau
had written a letter strongly in favour of annexation.
The Toronto Globe, on the contrary, publishes a declara-
tion of warm attachment to England, signed by 2000 men
of all parties.
From the city of Mexico we have recounts to the 13th
ultimo. The insurrection of the Sierra Gordo had been
terminated ; but in the capital a conspiracy had been dis-
covered amongst a number of military officers. The shock
of an earthquake was felt on the 28th September. Rela-
tive to the debt arrangement we are unfortunately without
our usual details.
Advices of the sth ultimo from Yucatan announce the
assassination of the most prominent leader of the Indians.
Several skirmishes had occurred. A letter from Cam-
peachy, of the 9th, reports the capture by the whites of a
small English vessel, laden with powder and lead. She
was carried into Bacalar.

NEW YORK, 6th Nov., 1849.
Since the departure of the Niagara, the demand for all lead-
ing securities has been steady. The Money market remains
easy. Loans on solid securities returnable on demand can be
readily obtained at 4 to 5 per cent. ; paper discounts freely at
6 to 7 per cent. for the best signatures, and at 7 to 10 per cent.
for those of a less prominer t character. The banks discount
freely to the extent of their lines at the usual rates.
Corrorr.—We do not find anything to cause us to alter our
opinion, or to change our estimate of crop, which we placed
at 2,100,000 bales, although we must confess that we have seen
letters from factors (who had previously believed in a large
crop) who " mark" 2,000,000 as the full extent.
The arrivals prior to the 21st of January will be light, and the
stock in Great Britain being much reduced, will be easily held.

GRAlN.—There is a fair demand for Wheat from the city
millers, and some inquiry for Canadian for export, in bond;
but at the close prices fell off. Our quotations for Genesee are

Rye sells at 60c to 61c. Barley 57c to 59c per 481 b. Oats 39c to
40c. Indian corn is in light supply, closing at 63c to 644 c for
Western mixed; 644 c to 65ic for flat yellow, and 65c to 66c for
round yellow.
FLOUR.—The home demand for a week past has been quite
active, but the increased supplies, and absence of export orders
have tended to depress the article. Prices have, however,
changed but little, particularly for that of good quality and
condition. Rye Flour sells at .82.814 to 82.873, and Corn
Meal .83.124 to .83.371 for Jersey and Brandywine. The
receipts down the Hudson River since the opening this season
totbe 28th October were 1,470,288 barrels Flour, against 1,448,391
barrels in 1848.

PROVISIONS.—Pork is in moderate demand, with sales at
$10.44 to 4510.50 for mesa, and $8.621 for prime. Sales of beef
have been made to a limited extent at 456.25 to ,86.50 for prime,
and 48.75 to 450.124 for mess. Beef Hams $l2 to 812.25. Dry
salted Hams and Shoulders 3c to 4c; Lard 6ic to 6,ic for tierces

Tile operations in foreign exchanges thus far for the Europa
have been small. The ruling rates are on London no to 1101.
FREIGHTS.—The rates are, to Liverpool, for cotton, 3-16 d. to
7-32 d per lb ; flour, Is 6d per barrel ; grain in bulk 4d to 5d per
bushel for corn and wheat respectively. To London, is 6d per
barrel for flour.

THE REPEAL AsseetATloN.—Mr. John O'Connell
and the miserable squad of political banditti who call

themselves by the above title., assembled as usual on
Monday. The gathering, which was presided over by a
publican from Phibsborough, was still more diminutive,

.tl9 5s

and the proceedings quite as flat and stupid
previous occasion. Plunder for the week,
Mr. Gavin Duffy has published an agitation program
for 1850. The principal performances announced arc

the extermination of Irish landlords, and the Irish
Church—the plantation of a_ farmer and peasant proprie-

but the people's, for "rearing a generation competent to
understand, and competent to enforce, its rights."
Viscount Masserene, in answer to the circular of the
committee which is conducting the address to Lord Roden
agreed to in Dublin, says that though he yields to no one
in his esteem for Lord Roden, he cannot sign the address,
one of his principles reasons being because he cannot
agree to the doctrine that honesty of purpose in a magis-
trate ought to be a protection against his summary dis-
missal.

A small fee simple estate in the county of Tipperary,
has been sold in the Court of Chancery for eleven years'
purchase. The rental of the estate is about £330, and
the price obtained about £3300. Six months ago the
same estate was sold for £3960; hut the purchase was not
completed, Before the potato failure more than double
that amount might have been realised. The present
poor-rate in the district is 4s. 6d. in the pound.
ATTEMPT TO MURDER AN AGENT.—The Tipperary
Vindicator states, that on Saturday evening an attempt
(the second) was made to assassinate Mr. Francis Kier-
nan, agent over the property of the Messrs. Scott, at
Loughorna. Mr. Kiernan was sitting at his fire with
some friends, when the shot was fired in through the
window of the room. Most providentially a sack of oats
had been removed near the window a short time before,
which intercepted the ball and saved Mr. Kiernan's life.

A SHORT 'fain/stmt.—The radical papers have made a
great flourish of a letter from the Marquis of Londonderry,
in which his lordship declines to sign the address to Lord
Roden, on the assumption that Lord Roden was present
at the proceedings of Dolly's Brae. The Marquis, how-
ever, has omitted the necessary precaution of ascertaining
411.1 n+ Cm. T ,nrel Rndan wag Tint nraaant and

took no part in the unhappy proceedings in question ;
and the opinion of the Marquis, therefore, being founded
on misapprehension, goes for nothing. The Marquis
thinks that no one will suspect him of whig attachment
or whig policy, but we fancy that many persons will en-
tertain a very strong suspicion on the subject.
CORK ELECTION.—GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF THE
COUNTRY PARTY.—The electors of Cork have nobly dis-
charged their duty to their country; they have pronounced
against the candidate recommended by the free-traders,
the repealers, and the government. Honour to the men
of Cork ! Colonel Chatterton is now their worthy repre-
sentative. This is truly a splendid triumph, and augurs
well for the future. When t,ork—the great seaport town,
from which the bulk of the corn exported from Ireland is
conveyed, and into which is imported a mciety of all the
Indian corn and foreign wheat used in the country—when
that city has declared against free-trade, the importance
of its decision cannot be over-estimated. They tried the
withering, wasting, ruinous system, and found it wanting ;
therefore have they done all that the opportunity afforded
for returning to the protection of the home producer.
The polling commenced at eight o'clock on Tuesday,
when Colonel Chatterton at once proved his strength.
Here is the return at the final close of the poll :—Colonel
Chatterton, 501; Mr. M'Carthy, 595 ; majority for Col.
Chatterton, 206.
Mr. Charles Wye Williams, in a letter to Lord Claren-
don, details the advantages likely to arise from the open-
ing of the navigation of the Shannon. He says :—" My
lord, I have now the satisfaction of stating, that the sum
of half a million sterling having been expended pursuant
to the act, its navigation is now complete ; and, from
personal observation—having, during the last five years,
watched the progress of the numerous works along its
course—l am enabled to certify that the science and
engineering skill which they exhibit—the evidence of a
superior execution everywhere visible—together with the
substantial and permanent character of these great works,
are unsurpassed in the British empire. My lord, it is
impossible correctly to appreciate the character, extent,
or importance of these numerous and great works, except
by traversing the 150 miles of the Shannon, by which
they are spread. Let it also be remembered that this has
been effected not only completely and successfully, but
within the estimated cost. Here, indeed, is a new feature
in public works—look to the Rideau navigation in Canada,
or to the Caledonian Canal in Scotland. What a con-
trast do they present in this respect."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ADMIRALTY COURT, FRIDAY
THE FAME: COLLISION.

This was a suit promoted by the owners of the late
schooner Rob Roy against the schooner Fame, to recover
the loss resulting from a collision between them, early on
the morning of the 28th of February, off the north coast
of Anglesea.
The Rob Roy, of the burthen of 114 tons, was bound
from Cornwall to Liverpool, laden with porcelain clay ;
the Fame, of the burthen of 87 tons, was proceeding from
Liverpool to Youghall, freighted with Indian Corn. The
wind was blowing strong from the south-west, and each
vessel represented herself to be close-hauled. The Fame
was on the larboard and the Rob Roy on the starboard
tack.

Dr. Lushington, having stated to the Elder Brethren
the Trinity Corporation, by whom he was assisted,
Lat the decision must turn upon the point as to whether

or not the Rob Roy

t the time the vessels were

preaching, was closelhauled, inquired of them which of
the vessels was to blame, or whether they were both
culpable?
The Elder Brethren considered that both the vessels
were on a wind, and that the collision arose from the
Fame not adhering to the rules of navigation.

The Court pronounced in favour of the Rob Roy, and
dismissed the cross action with costs.

In the York Ecclesiastical Court, last week, an applica-
tion was made to annul the first marriage of Ellis Norris
and Miss Durk. The judge said that the second marriage
rendered any proceedings on account of the first useless,
but he gave the applicant time to enable him to satisfy

himselfof the correctness of the statement of the affidavits.
THE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.--APNAMARA V.
O'CoNNou, M.P.—ln this case, which was an action by
the plaintiff, an attorney, against Mr. Feargus O'Connor,
M.P., to recover a sum of money for defending the

the court, said Lord Denman, was not prepared to say
that the jury were wrong in finding a verdict for the
plaintiff; so the Court could not grant a rule for a ne
trial upon the affidavit used in the cause, and
reason to disturb the verdict.—Rule refused

Lord Denman has had a severe attack of paralysis,
which, it is feared, will preclude the possibility of his lord-
ship remaining much longer on the bench. He is en-
titled to a retiring pension of £4OOO per annum.
In the Arches Court there was a further hearing of the
case " Conolly v. Conolly," a suit for the restitution of
conjugal rights, where both parties had turned Roman
Catholics, the husband becoming a priest and the
wife 'a nun. The former afterwards recanted, and now
claims his wife, who pleads her vows of chastity as a nun.
The question just now before the Court is, the admissa-
bility of the defendant's libels, which the Judge, after
hearing counsel, said he should take time to consider.
THE LIVERPOOL UNION BANK.—In the Rolls' Court,
Lord Langdale gave judgment in the cause of Rodick v.
Gandell and Others, heard on the 22th of July. The
prayer was to have a declaration of the court that the Li-
verpool Union Bank, whose public officer,Thomas Rodick,
was the plaintiff, was entitled to have the full benefit of
two letters, of the 26th and 27th of December, 1845, as an
effectual charge, by any of equitable assignment, upon
the several debts, claims, and demands due to or claimed
by the defendants, John tlaskins Gandell, and John
Brunton. Lord Langdale did not think the letters an
equitable assignment, and dismissed the bill.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.—In the London Small Debts
Court on Wednesday a point of considerable interest arose
in the case of "Owen v. Billings," as to how far a hus-
band was bound by the acts of his wife, who was possessed
of private property. The plaintiff is an attorney, and the
defendant is a respectable tradesman in the city. The
action was brought to recover the sum of £3 ls. Bd. for
professional services. It appeared that Mrs. Billings
was possessed, under a marriage settlement, of a sum of
£270, on which she was desirous of obtaining a loan, and
applied to plaintiff for a copy of the settlement, which
was prepared and sent to the solicitors of the Sovereign
Life Assurance Company, and subsequently instructed
him to peruse the mortgage ; and it was for this business
that the present charge was now made. It was admitted
that Mrs. Billings had given instructions for the perusal
of the deed, but it was contended that a copy she had
previously left at the house was sufficient, and that a fresh
copy was not necessary. A tender had therefore, been
made on her behalf of £1 Bs. 6d. An argument then
ensued, it being contended by the plaintiff that a married
woman could not be sued under such circumstances, and
on the other hand it was urged that a husband was not
liable except for necessaries, unless his knowledge and
concurrence in the order was express or implied. In this
case Mrs. Billings swore her husband was not aware of
the transaction. His Honour (Mr. Commissioner Bul-
lock) held that defendant was not liable, for a wife was
only an agent for particular, and not for general, purposes.

STATE OF CANADA.

(From the Record.)

The aspect of affairs in Canada becomes more and more
alarming. We wish that we could add that there was
nothing in the affairs of that fine colony calculated to
awaken the feeling of regret that our policy bears too
close a resemblance to that which is now pursued toward
the Protestants of Ireland. The state of Canada is not
very generally understood, and many persons are not
aware of the course of policy, pursued for more than ten
years, which has very nearly precipitated a second re-
bellion, and which threatens the mutilation of our colonial
empire. . .

It is well known that the Canadas were divided into
two provinces, the one distinguished as lower Canada,
being French, and the other as Upper Canada, which was
British. The lower province was conquered from the
French, nearly a century ago, after those sanguinary
campaigns which ended with the death and victory of the
young and gallant General Wolfe. When that conquest
was achieved, the Roman Catholic religion, instead of
being left to its own resources, under the protection of an
ample toleration, was adopted by the State, and hence
one fruitful source of disunion perpetuated by priests and
Jesuits. There is a lesson to be derived from this fact,
of which our statesmen might profit, if they would. It
cannot be said that a dominant Protestant minority ex-
cited the angry feelings of the lower Canadians, and drove
them into rebellion.

Upper Canada was peopled by British settlers, most of
them loyal, brave, and enterprising. A great many
Highlanders went out from Scotland, and multitudes of
Irish Protestants fled from persecution in their own
country, to found loyal lodges of orangemen, which never
molested their Romish neighbours, or gave annoyance to
the government. But there was also a third party, which
during the late rebellion was known as Mackenzie 's party,
and which was the only source of werkness in the upper
province. It was composed chiefly of Romanists, im-
ported from Ireland, carrying with them their burden of
Irish discontent, and inflamed by association with Ameri-
can sympathizers from the United States of the same
character. _ _

When Papineau and other demagogues in Lower Canada
broke out in rebellion in 1837, the Mackenzie party in the
Upper Provice gave the rebels all the aid in their power.
The United States winked at the assistance given by the
American sympathizers, allowed their arsenals to be pil-
laged, arms and ammunition to be poured into British
settlements, and steamers to act as transports of men and
cannon across the St. Lawrence. _

In spite of all these odds the British party in the Upper
Province, the Highlanders, the Orangemen, and the
English loyalists, signally triumphed not only over the
Mackenzie traitors, but over the American sympathizers.
Captain Drew at the head of a party of volunteers cap-
tured the American steamer, set fire to her stores, and
sent her drifting down the cataracts of Niagara, a blazing
warning both to Canadian rebels, and American invaders.
The affairs of the Upper Province were settled by Sir
Francis Head and the volunteers. The rebellion of the
French habitans was put down by Sir John Colborne and
the military.
So far all was well. It now remained for a wise govern-
ment to take warning from the past, and organize a new
constitution for the future. Unhappily Canada was the
field on which the Benthamites and other infidel Liberals
had been for years trying their 'prentice hands. The
Westminster Review had teemed with articles directed
against " the family party" in Canada, and the encou-
ragement given to the Protestant interest. The late Lord
Durham was sent out to rectify all abuses. A more unfit
selection could hardly have been made. But when we
add that two of his chief advisers were Mr. Edward Gib-
bon Wakefield arid Sir Thomas Turton, we cannot feel
surprised at anything that has since happened. To these
was added Mr. Charles Buller, a gentleman of undoubted
talents, and, so far as we know, of unblemished character;
but his principles were of the utilitarian stamp, and too
well accorded with those of the two other more notorious
characters with whom he was associated.
To those men was intrusted the task of remodelling a
constitution. In their eyes Protestantism and Popery
were alike indifferent. Bigotry, so called, was the object
of their aversion, and they neither sympathized with the
principles of Scottish Presbyterians, Irish Orangemen, cr
English Episcopalians. They resolved to unite the two
provinces, and under the pretence of destroying abuses,
of putting down " the family party," of giving no advan-
tage to British Protestant loyalists over disaffected French
Popish habitans, the union was accomplished.
From that moment the rebel faction began to rear their
crest. Indemnity for past offences was proclaimed, Papi-
neau suffered to return, and a coalition made between
Mackenzie's Irish and American party in the upper pro-
vince, and the French Romanists in the lower. The re-
sult is well known. Lord Elgin, the son-in-law of Lord
Durham, went to carry out that noble earl's policy under
the auspices of Earl Grey. An act passed the legislature
indemnifying not only the loyalists but the rebels, for the
losses sustained in the rebellion. The British loyalists,
the Orangemen, and the Scotch Highlanders in their turn
grew desperate. An insurrection is the result. The go-
vernor's palace is burned, and blood is shed. Now an-
nexation is spoken of, and the following extract will be
read with interest, coming as it does from the letters of a
gentleman of intelligence and respectability in Canada :
"Everything here bodes a storm. There will be bloodshed,
I fear, before long; be it much or little it seals the supremacy
of England and her right to a foot of the land of the west for
ever 11 the Times to the contrary, notwithstanding. You will
know the state of things here sonic day or other, but when it
is too late. One thing, I regret to say, is clear enough that
loyalty is but a name here now, not among fle Frenehtaisa-
dians, but with tun the iixitist zoerchante."

EXECUTION OF THE MANNINGS.

It is necessary to state that the following is condensed from
our Fourth Edition of Tuesday last. lest our readers should
give us the credit of copying it from Wednesday's Courier.]

The final scene in this world of one of the most revolt-
ing tragedies which ever occurred in this country, com-
mitted in concert, by parties possessed of any intelligence,
and who had been accustomed to move amongst society
at all removed from the utterly debased, took place on
Tuesday morning before a large concourse of spectators.

On Sunday arid Monday vast numbers of idlers were
seen lounging about, passing running commentaries on
the future conduct of the criminals, their remarks in some
instances being of the most revolting description. The
opening of public-houses at one o'clock on Sunday tended
to relieve the monotony of the scene, a general rush
immediately taking place into them, the proprietors of
which must have reaped a plentiful harvest, for with
several additional hands they were kept fully employed.
As the afternoon advanced the numbers so far increased
that, by four o'clock, Horsemonger-lane presented one
dense mass of people, several of them being most respect-
ably dressed, who amused themselves by gazing alternately
at the top of the prison and at the front gate, with various
speculations.

To those of our readers who are not well acquainted
with the metropolis a brief deQcription of the locality of
the prison, in front of which the wretched criminals suf-
fered, may not be altogether uninteresting. The New
House of Correction for Surrey (so called, although erected
some years ago,) is situated in Horsemonger-lane, a street

tion of .Bermondsey,-and is surrounded now by small pro-
perty of a respectable description—two-story houses, with
ornamental gardens in front, and rented at from £2O to
£3O per annum. The front of the prison is in the wide
portion of Horsemonger-lane itself, and is a little removed
back from the line of neighbouring houses. It is ap-
proachable from the various streets around, which run 111
near to the walls
F

some distance in front of the gaol the occupants
nd owners of the houses, which have long gardens in
had been for days before occupied in erecting tem-
porary stages, places upon which were let at very high
prices, in some instances as high as three guineas for a
single seat; and even the roofs of the surrounding property,
from which a view could be obtained, were eagerly bid for.
The danger arising from the gathering a dense crowd in
so confined a locality, having so many approaches on
every side, was early seen by the authorities, who took
measures to barricade strongly those points of access,
a pressure from which must have caused fearful calamity.

At an early hour in the morning, and in many cases all
night, these erections were occupied ; and long before the
hour of execution not a vacant spot of ground in the
neighbourhood was to be had.
Some of the side and back streets even, from which no-
thing whatever could be seen, were filled, as if the crowd
were satisfied even to listen for the expected thrill of
horror or the cry of execration from the more fortu-
nate (?) spectators, when the drop fell.
The gaol itself is an irregularly formed building, with
a flat roof, and raised lanterns or sky-lights, and sur-

- •
rounded by an outer wall ; and the general expectation
was that the execution would take place upon this roof,
which accounts for some of the platforms having been
erected in places from which no view whatever was ob-
tained. The scaffold, however, was erected upon the
western end of the low flat tower, which surmounts the
Entrance Lodge, in the north or London side. The
suspension beam was rather lofty, and afforded ample
opportunity of the whole proceedings being seen from the
houses on that side, and the platforms erected in the
gardens of a row of houses called Winter Terrace, which
runs parallel with the prison wall. These platforms were
not, like those erected in the immediate front of the
prison, the speculations of the tenants themselves ; but
were chiefly erected by costermongers, prize-fighters, &c.
who gave sums varying from £7 to £2O, according to thik
extent of the superficies, for the hire of the ground. The
two public-houses at each extremity of the area also
reaped an excellent harvest from the view which they
afforded. A portion of the area next to the prison wall
was barricaded off for the accommodation of the police, of
whom a large body were in attendance from an early hour
on Monday night, under the impression that otherwise great
destruction of trees and property in the locality would take
place, and probably the houses and platforms be forcibly
invaded by the mob. In the course of the day the magis-
trates endeavoured to remove some of the scaffolds and
platforms, which were considered unsafe ; but could only
succeed here they extended over the carriage way.
In the early part of the morning a portion of the
crowd, principally consisting of juveniles of both sexes,
amused themselves with bandying rough jokes, jostling,
and other similar pastimes of a London mob ; but as the
hour drew near for the fatal scene, a perceptible feeling of
intense excitement stole over the mass, interrupted only
by occasional ebullitions of bodily suffering, as some un-
fortunate being became oppressed beyond endurance by
the prolonged crushing of the densely packed assemblage.
And when at length the preparations commenced for the
work of death, the picture presented by the upturned
faces of the spectators, bloodless and pallid with awe, as
seen in the dull morning light, and many begrimed with
perspiration from their long hours' struggle to maintain

their. places, was a truly awful one.
The unhappy woman attempted self-destruction in the
course of Sunday morning. It has already been mentioned
that her finger-ti ails had grown to a great length, and when
it was remarked to her by the authorities. she gave
some evasive answer. On more than one occasion she
even gave an obscene reply respecting their length.
and on another occasion she stated that they would
be of use to her. In the presence of the chaplain or the
governor she covered her hands, by wrapping them round
with her handkerchief. Every precaution was taken to
prevent her making any attempt on her life, and even the
clotheswhich she put off when retiring to rest were removed
from the bed and quite out of her reach. About
4 o'clock on Sunday morning she endeavoured to stran-
gle herself. Having observed that the watchers, as she
supposed, had dozed off, she made an attempt to choke her-
self by forcing her nails into her throat. The noise con-
sequent on her convulsion having startled the watchers,
they jumped up, and on hastening to her bed-
side saw she was almost black in the face. As soon, how-
ever, as the wretched woman saw that the watchers were
by her side she seemed to rally herself, and put her head
under the clothes.

The symptoms of penitence which Mrs. Manning
evinced during the preaching of the condemned sermon
on Sunday proved only transient, and on Monday she re-
turned to that state of obduracy which has marked her
conduct since her arrest. Up to a late hour on Monday
night she still persisted in refusing to hold any interview
with Manning. and declared that the mob should not be
gratified by seeing her face when brought upon the drop,
as she would cover it with her handkerchief. There was
no change on Monday in the conduct of the male prisoner,
who continued resigned to his fate. _ _ _

it -
Manning, appears, passed a very restless night, so
also did his wife ; they both rose early, and having par-
taken of breakfast, Manning sent for the chaplain between
six and seven. He found him more composed than on
the previous night. He subsequently visited Mrs. Man-
ning and importuned her, as she was about to appear in
the presence of God, before whom there could be no dis-
guise, and that as the opinion of mankind availed her
nothing, now that she was about to quit this world, to
to tell him if she had any request to prefer, or anything
to say or unsay. She said she had not, and requested him
to write to two ladies (whose names the chaplain declined
to mention), to beg their acceptance of her kind and
heartfelt thanks for their kind condescension in making
efforts to save her, though they had not availed her. At
a quarter past eight they were brought into the chapel,
Manning being brought in first. They were placed on a
seat immediately before the pulpit, male and female offi-
cers being placed betewen them. Manning looked intently
at his wife, but said nothing. The sacrament was then
ad minstered. As the chaplain was about to enter the vestry
the prisoners appeared to be communicating with each
other. Manning, who was the first to do so, crossed over
to his wife and kissed her three times. They spoke in a
low tone, and Mr. Freshfield, who stood near, understood
Manning to urge his wife to confess, saying, "Do confess."
They were then taken into separate apartments on either
side of the chapel, where they were pinioned. Mrs. Man-
ning solicited that a black veil might be bound over her
head, and that she might be led blindfold to the scaffold.
This was acceded to, and Mr. Davies, the surgeon, and
another person led the unhappy woman out of the chapel.
Manning, who had been led out of the chapel some min-
utes before his wife, and who stood on the spot where his
grave was being dug, said to the chaplain, " I was petu-
lant last night—l hope you will forgive me, and make
allowances for a person in my situation." The chaplain
gave him his forgiveness, saying that, in the discharge of
so sacred and awful a duty it was sometimes necessary to
be firm as well as to be kind. The procession then
moved slowly on, and up the stairs of the lodge to the
fatal spot. The firmness of the unfortunate couple is
stated to have been strong. The chaplain asked the
female, when the fatal noose was in the course of adjust-
ment, if she had anything more to say. She replied
firmly, "Nothing, except to thank you for your kindness."
The drop shortly fell, and the wretched man and his wife
swung in the air, the folds of the veil, which obscured her
features from the vulgar gaze, fluttering in the breeze.
Shortly after nine o'clock, Manning and his wife ap-
peared on the scaffold, attended by the sheriff, the chap-
tain, and the officers of the gaol. At this momeat the ex-
citement amongst the crowd was tremendous, and some
confusion occurred from the eagerness of the parties
stretching forward in the endeavour to catch a glimpse of
the unhappy criminals.
There was an immense assemblage congregated in front
and around the gaol, to witness the closing scene of the
unhappy career of these great criminals. There were no
accidents of magnitude, but many persons, chiefly women
and children, were trodden under foot and otherwise
bruised. It was calculated that there could not have been
fewer than 50,000 people present.
It is true that so great a concourse could not get to
witness the deplorable spectacle ; but every'street, lane,
and avenue, leading to the place of execution, was densely
crowded ; and every window and housetop in the vicinity
of Horsemonger-lane was filled and crowded with well
dressed people, male and female, as was also every avail-
able spot upon which a platform could be erected.
The mournful procession having reached the drop, the
few moments that were occupied in preparing for the final
scene having elapsed, the bolt was withdrawn and both
the unhappy beings were launched into eternity at the
same moment. The struggles of the male prisoner were
very violent, and his contortions produced a most painful
feeling amongst the spectators. Those of Mrs. Manning
were of very short duration, as she appeared to cease to
exist on the drop falling.
Both of the unfortunate beings appeared desirous of ad-
dressing the immense assemblage of their fellow creatures
below them, and they made a few observations, which
were nor audible beyond a few yards from the gallows,
their words being lost amidst the yells of the crowd and
the confusion inseparable from such a vast congregation of
human beings. Both were, however, understood to ad-
