EXFf'UTION:

[f This morning, at half pain eight o'clock, Abraham
dams, for an onuatnra I offence; William Oldfield,
or a rave; and '.7lt :: ea Penning, fur ndminktering
()isms ; were ev,roted before the llehfolb'-door,
Old Bailey. The !lumber of spectators far exceeded
that which has been absembled on such an occasion
for several )ears.

At ab..ut a quarter past eight o'clock, Eliri Fen.
ling was conducted on the scaffold, accompanied by
he Ordinary of Ne.• I,ate; sue nay genteelly dressed
ii white, wearing a can, and holding a Pray er-book
in her hands, and approached with a firmness scarce.
ly to be credited. The executioner having affised
the rope round her, and tied a hatitlket chief over
her eyes, he then left her to perform the re-
mainder of the melancholy task on her fellow-suf.
fevers, both of whom appeared to be perfeztly re-
signed to their fate. Kenning, whilst she remained
on the scaffold, was expected to confess her guilt of
the crime she was about to suffer for ; but all persua.
pions thereto, not only by the Oidinary, but also by
the Itor. J. Williams, to whose doctrine she was par-
ticularly attached, proved vain; and even, at ae
la 4 moment, called her ',Witter to attest her inno-

mice of the crime for which she was about to suffer.
In this state did she, along with °Mehl and Adams,
make her melanchcily exit out of this world.

RIOT IN NEIVGATE.

--~•~-

Yesteday evening, at seven o'clock, the felons'
side of Newgate was disturbed by a violent outrage
on the part of the prisoners confined in that part of the
prison. A variety of reports were in circulation last
night as to the causes which led to this alarming cir.
cumstancr. The following, however, may be re-
lied upon as the facts :
Yetterday morning it appeared that a young man
bad gene Lute the prison to visit a friend : he was
admitted into the felons' yard, and remained there
about an hour; on his departure, however, he
found he had been robbed of his watch, and find-
ing it unavailable to recover it by a statement to
those who surrounded him in the yard, he made an
al ptication to Mr. Newman, the keeper, who pro.
rnissd, if possible to have his property restored.—
For this purpose he visited the prisoners, and
acquainted them that unless the watch was forth-
coming, he would feel it his duty to lock them
up, and prevent all access to them. The warn-
ing had not the desired effec►, and Mr. Ness man
put hie threat into execution. This additional,
though necessary infringement upon their liberty
roused at once a spirit of mutiny, and at the hour
mentioned, the felons commenced a violent attack
upon the stair crises, railings, and ell that came in
their way, and threatening destruction to those who
entered their yard. Mr. Newman, however, was
not to be intimidated by such threats and violence,
and having, with the assistance of Mr. Hardy and
about eighteen others, entered the yard, armed with
blunderbusses, muskets, and pistols, the rioters were
subdued, the ringleaders selected and conducted to
cells, and order completely restored. At this time
the Lord Mayor, Maishalmen, &c. arrived, as did
also some military, whose presence was happily un-
necessary. Great praise is doe to Mr. Newman for
his indefatigeble exertions, in not only quelling so
serious an alarm, but in recovering the props rty, the
loss of which had led to the disturbance. The various
alarming reports promoted in the course of the
evening, all originating in this circumstance, attracted
immense crowds to the vicinity of the prison.—
They did not separate till very late Inst

A Philadelphia Paper, in an article relative to the
state of South America, makes the following ob-
servations on the intercourse between Great Britain
and the Spanish Colonies :—" The commerce that
England has been, and is now enjoying with thosei
countries, is of far greater importance than has been
generally known. The peculiar situation of Europe
and the United States, has given to England, forA
some time paA,' an entire monopoly of this valuahlts
trade. The amount of British fabrics that has been
shipped from London and Jamaica, through the
htlantus of Dtrien, to every part of the Pacific
Olean, and the rotainmption of British tri-rchaillso
at BMWs Ayres,
.Nevi Grenada, Venezuela, the
nj of Camracliy, and Mexico, may be computed
Ft kr.ct to be &coal!' millions of dollars per 111411141 U ;
the return of these exports, with considerable nue.
elentation of profit, ore made generally in specie and
loflion and other valuable commodities."
