EXECUTION AT LANCASTER.

John Roach, the soldier, who was tried on Friday last for the
wilful murder of Corporal Maggs, in the barracks at Manches-
ter, under the circumstances detailed in the report of the trial,
was executed yesterday morning, pursuant to his sentence, on a
gallows erected behind the Castle. In the interval between the
sentence and its execution, the unfortunate man, who is a native
of Ireland, and a member of the Roman Catholic religion, was
attended by the Rev. Mr. Brown, the resident priest at Lancas-
ter, and we understand exhibited every mark of deep contrition
and repentance for his crime, and of resignation to his untimely
fate, the justice of which he fully acknowledged. The same
propriety of behaviour which marked his conduct during the
T►rogress of the trial and afterwards, has, we believe, been mani-
fested by him ever since his committal to gaol, being deeply
sensible throughout of the enormity of his offence, and conscious
that his own life must make atonement for it. It was generally
expected that he would plead guilty ; he was, however, induced
to stand his trial, though it was manifest during the whole course
of it that he entertained little or no hope of escape. At eight
o'cltnk yesterday morning the prisoner was brought out for
execution. He walked out with a quick and firm step, hardly
glancing at the assembled crowd, and placed himself under the
drop, with his back to the people. The executioner having put
the cap upon his head, and adjusted the fatal rope, the burial
service of the Catholic Church was read by the Rev. Mr. Brown,
who kneeled down at the verge of the gallows. During this
awful interval the prisoner stood firmly, though, as upon the
trial, a convulsive twitching of the head and arms, manifested
the struggle that was going ou within. The service being con-
cluded the bolt was drawn and the prisoner was launched into
eternity. He did not appear to struggle much. After hanging
the usual time the body was taken down, and placed in a shell,
to be interred within the limits of the gaol, pursuant to his sen-
tence. There were about 20.:0 persons present, of whom a great
portion were boys and girls belonging to the factories, who had
been liberated a quarter of an hour sooner than usual, in order
to allow them an opportunity of witnessing the execution.

FATAL EXPLOIT.—On Sunday se'nnight, (on Sunday too!)
at Oldham, a man named Bulloughs, who had been drinking
hard previously, attempted, in bravado, to drink two shillings'
worth of gin, but before he could accomplish his Leastiv feat-he
fell down and expired; leaving a wife and large family to de-
plore the inconsiderate conduct of their natural protector.

How TO KILL A WlFE.—"What! your third wife dead!
Dear me, how came you to be so lucky ? " " Why, I knew
that they could not live without contradiction, and so I let them
have all their own way."
A horse-dealer had a son, who being a lad of spirit, proposed,
as a novel expedient, to open a stable (.n the principle of strict-
ly honest dealing; but the father, who was a prudent man, dis-
couraged the idea, observing, " that he disliked speculation."

SINGULAR PHENOMENON.—Within the last ten days two re-
markably large swarms of flies have been noticed at North
Shields, proceeding from the sea in a westerly direction. On
one of the occasions au opportunity was taken of estimating
the height of the mass, which appeared to be about twenty-one
feet, by six or eight in breadth. It was several minutes in
passing by the observers.—Newcastle Courant.
An Irishman, on being asked, what did he come to England
for? said, "Is it what I came here for, you mane? Arrali, by
the powers! you may be sure it was'nt for want, for 1 had plenty
of that at home !"

'When a magistrate of the sister kingdom was told that the
qualification of the Irish constituency bad been raised, be ob-
served, " Sure it's as asy to swear to ten pounds as to 4Us."

WELSH FLANNEL; A RATIONAL REASON FOR MARETING.—
" HOW could you do so imprudent a thing," said a curate to a
very poor Taffy ; "what reason could you have for marrying a
girl as completely steeped in poverty as yourself, and both
without the prospect of the slightest provision ?"—" Why, Sir,"
replied the Benedict, " we had a very good reason; we had a
blanket a piece ; and as the cold winter weather was coming on,
we thought that putting them together would be wanner."
In the Market-place at Bath, on Tuesday, a man named
Stradling offered his wife for sale to the highest bidder. The
lady, it appeared, had been sold for half-a-crown on Monday at
Lansdowu fair, but the bargain was nut considered legal—first,
because the sale was not held in a public market place, and se-
condly, because the purchaser had a wife already. The lady
was dashingly attired, and had a halter, covered with silk, round
her neck. Ihe bidding amounted at last to five shillings, at
which sum it was understood she was bought in. It happened,
however, very unluckily for the husband of the fair one, that the
police had an eye to this little transaction, for just as the affair
had concluded he was apprehended for having created a public
disturbance, and was politely handed to a temporary lodging in
the Bath Gaol. The above disgraceful exhibition assembled,- as
may be easily imagined, an immense concourse of spectators.—
Bath Chronicle.

A discovery of considerable importance, as connected with
the production of steam, has just been made by the superin-
tendent of one of the gas establishments in the metropolis.
He has ascertained that an excel*nt fuel may be provided in
coke, gas, tar, and water, applied in particular_proportions;
and as the weight of this fuel is little more than one-third of
that of the quantity of coals requisite to produce the same result,
it will no longer be difficult to establish communication by steam
with India and other distant parts of the world, the great and
indeed hitherto insuperable objection, the weight and bulk of.
the fuel, being liow removed. Colonel Torrens, the member for
Bolton, some time since, we understand, took out a patent for
a discovery of a locomotive power, still more astonishing than
this, for his principle was a power derived from an article re-
quiring so little bulk that a quart of the liquid would produce
sufficient for the impulsion of a ship or carriage over fifty miles,
The subtlety of this article, however, is said to be such, that it
cannot be confined within any known metal, and therefore the
discovery is without beneficial result. There is no objection of
this kind to the new discovery above named.—Court Journal.

FASHIONABLE ABSENTEES.—We have before remarked the
extraordinary and unpatriotic system of absenteeism which is
the distinguishing feature of the present season. It is with
anger for the act, and sorrow for the fact, we state that upwards
of thirty families, of the first rank and fortune, have trans-
ported themselves from their own country for
.protracted resi-
dence on the Continent. We do not hesitate, in the strongest
manner .possible, to express our loud and earnest reprobation
of such un-British conduct. We are sorry to say' that, during
the season, too much of the money of the people of fashion
went into the pockets of foreigners, and we are grieved to find
at the conclusion that instead of the good old plan of showing.
themselves to their tenants in the country, and the exercise o;
old English hosPitality, they hurry off to spend the remainder
of their annual income abroad. In the list of these fashionable
emigres we arc sorry to number the Marquis of Hertford, Lord
Warwick, Lord Monson, Earl Cowper, Lord Fordwich, Lord
and Lady Ashley, Lord Lowther, Mr. Fitzherbert, &e. &c.
In addition to which shoals of fashionables, we hear, are on the
eve of departure for the Continent.—.4ye.
