Middleton, for having ravished, and otherwise dread-
fully 111 used, Ann Newman, of Boaeat, a young girl of
unimpeachable conduct. Their behaviour, since con-
demnation, has not generally evinced a due sense of the
turpitude of the crime they hail committed, or the aw-
fulness of theiebitnation. On Thursday, however, their
hardihood appeared to be somewhat subdued, and the
idea of soon forfeiting their lives to the outraged laws
of their country, induced them to seek, by penitence and
prayer, pardon of their Maker, through the atonement
of Jesus Christ. Their crime was of the most horrible
character, and when it is considered they were all mar-
ried men with families, the mind shrinks back, horror-
struck and confounded. Middleton addressed the mul-
titude, which was immense, with great earnestness, and
particularly warned his companions, and others of Wel-
lingborough (the place of their late residence), in the
habit of leading dissolute lives, to desist from pursuing
& coarse of wickedness, which, if persevered in, sooner
or later most terminate in their destruction. Two
youths, only 17 and the other 19 years of age, were con-
demned to death as parties with the above men ; and an-
other, only 18, was acquitted.
EIESCUTION.—Daven, Auu. 9.—This morning Alex-
ander John Spence, who was convicted at our last ses-
sions (under Lord Ellenborongh's Act, fur shooting at
Lieutenant Philip Graham, of the Coast Blockade,) and
sentenced to death, underwent the awful sentence of the
law. During the trial, the passing of the sentence, and
since his condemnation, the unhappy man evinced the
greatest fortitude. Until last night he slept remarkably
well, and ate very hearty, when he became extremely
restless and arose a number of times: yet, about five
o'clock, lie made a very hearty breakfast. Having been
attended by the Rev. Mr. Mettle, who was indefatigable
in his exertions to impress upon the mind of the unhappy
man thedreadful situation In which he stood. It is be-
lieved that, inwardly, he was truly penitent, and in
a great measure prepared for the awful change from life
to death: but in outward appearance his fortitude never
forsook him. At the parting with his sisters this morn-
ing, he was more affecteed than he had been since Ids
trial, but soon regained his presence of mind. After re-
,' ceiving the sacrinteet be carne out of the gaol, ascended
the ladder, and got into the clrt which was to convey
him to the fatal gibbet with a firm and undaunted step
and look. Having recognised several of his friends, he
rose in the cart and respectfully bowed to them. Mr.
Maule constantly prayed with him until the arrival at
the place of execution, when the executioner having
placed the cap over his eyes and adjusted the rope, the
unhappy man, before the hangman could whip on the
horses, either slipped or threw himself from the plat-
form, which occasioned him to struggle very hard, and
was launched into the presence of that Almighty Being
to whom '• all secrets are known." Thus ended the life
of one who might, had be not associated with bad coin-
rAny,ltave deserved a much better fate; lie Wall a robust
good.lookingyeung &IMO, and would have been .22 years
of age tomorrow. After hanging. the usnal tune, his
hods. was cut down and delivered over to lit Idea&
