THE STATESMAN.

EXECUTION.

This morning, at a quarter past eight o'clock,
Edward Harland and Josiah Box, for forgeries,
were executed before the Debtors' door, Newgate.
They were dressed each in genteel mourning, and
j met their fate with composure and resignation.—The
unwearied and kind attention of the Ordinary (Rev.
Mr. Cotton) to these unhappy persons, qud those
who suffered yesterday, deserves particular notice;
and we are happy to find thnt the several Ministers
who attended were invariably received with the
greatest politeness, and had every facility afforded
for the exercises of devotion and cotiVersatiati. that
could be desired.

Harland was attended by several Dissenting Mi.
nistert Who had constantly visited him during his con.
Intement, and to whom he ever expressed himself its
the most greatful terms, as having been the means of
administering those religious consolations which could
alone support him in his awful situation, and give
hope of a better state.

On Friday last a poor black man was fouild near
the Commercial-road, covered with the confluent
small-pox, and was seen by a brother African, who
took him immediately to the Small-pox Hospital, at
Pancras, where lie was humanely received by the re-
sident Surgeon, notwithstanding he was in want of
clothes and money ; he reported that he had been
lately an Ametioan prisoner, and intended to work
his passage to Jamaica, his native country.
A National Woollen Hall was opened in Dublin
on Monday, the 17th instant, for the sale, of Irish
woollens, &e. and a public dinner was given on the
occasion, the Lnrd Mayor in the chair. This meet-
ing was attended by several persons of the first re-
spectability, sho pledged themselves to use every
effort far the revival and encouragement of the Irish
woollen manufacture.

Captain ADERTON, in thirteen days from Port-an-
Prince, confirms the account of the Spanish squadron
from Spain, with troops, having arrived off and
taken possession of the island of 111.trioretts ; and
that they bad put In death indiscriminately all the
men, women, and children on the island. A Spanish
71 had blown up, and every person on board (I'2oo
in number) perished. Carthagena h.ul been bom-
barded for thirty days, and the cause of the Patriots
was despaired of in that quarter. The C'deftains,
PErsoN and CitetsToenc, were in a state of peace,
aithnugh they had made no treaty with each other.

Nine hundred acres of the richest and most fertile
alluvial soil has been gained from the sea at Roslare,
near Wexford. This embankment is the most exten-
sive undertaking of the kind ever known in Ireland.
The land thus recovered is the property, end of course
adds largely to the estate of JOCELYtr .THOSIAS, Esq.
We quote the following paragraph relative to Eli-
zabeth Penning from a Morning Paper :—" We
should deem ourselves wanting in justice, and a due
respect for Government, if we did not state that, in
cousequence of the many applications from the friends
of ibis unhappy young woman; who yesterday
suffered the sentence of the law, a meeting took
place on Tuesday at Lord Stomoutit's Office (his
Lordship was out of town), at which the Loup CHAN.
CELLOR, the RECORDER, and Mr BECKETT were
present. A full and minute investigation of the
case, we understand, took place, and of all that had
been urged in her favour by private individuals ; but
the result was a decided conviction that nothing had
occurred which could justify an interruption of the
due course of justice. So anxious was the Limn
CHANCELLOR in particular to satisfy his own mind,
and put a stop to all doubts on the part of the people
at large, that another meeting was held by the same
parties on Tuesday night, when they came to the
same determination, and in consequence the unfortu-
nate culprit suffered the penalty of the law."

It was manifested to the Committee on the " As-
si:e of Bread," which, happily, will cease in Sep-
tember next, that, by the artifices of the mealmen,
the quartern loaf has been regularly made to exceed
its just value three halfpence.
An elopement has lately taken place from Chelten-
ham. Lady llovottA !formic, the wife of GEORGE
FRFDERICIL HARVEY, Esq. has been taken from her
husband and family by a Lieutenant in the army.—
Legal proceedings have been instituted by the in-
jured husband against the parties, who have been
traced to Jersey.

Valetudinarians must rejoice when they know that
a Medical Board is established by Dr. COOPER and
three Surgeons, of 30 years experience, at Char-
lotte- house, Charlotte - street, opposite. Rowt.a"to
IltLes Chapel, Blackfriars-road, London, where
the public are cured of dangerous diseases, without
salivation or confinement. The Institution claims
the attention of those who have attempted the cure
themselves, or who have been so unfortunate as td
consult illiterate pretenders, whose improper treat-
ment have ruined thousands—eruptions on their
head, face, and body; sore eyes, throat, mouth,
and nose ; vertigo, noise in the ears, swellings in
the neck, deafness, dimness of sight, pains
.in the
head and limbs, frequently mistaken for rheumatism ;
weakness in the knees, swelled uncles, with a general
delibity, &c. are only a few of the dreadful symp-
toms which appear years after, and too often de-
stroys connubial happiness. Messrs. COOPER and
Co are consulted daily by all ranks of people, from
eleven till eight precisely ; or by letter enclosing
a fee (for no others are answered), statir.g their
case, when medicine and advice are sent to all parts
of the kingdom. They also cure the piles and fistula,
without burning or cuttiug, and give advice gratis,
on Tuesday, Thuridny, and Saturday mottling', till
twelve o'clock.
