self perfectly easy on that score.

Youno Waison.—(Extract of a letter received at
Glasgow from Baltimore, Feb. 22, 1822.)—" You
may remember my telling you that I had seen the
famous Wasson, the Spa-fields leader, at Nashville,
Tennessee. The subsequent history of this adorns.
nate young man shall 611 my sheet, as I have no pri-
vate business worth communicating. I. the fall of
I:420, Watson married Miss Mary Poyser, a most
amiable girl, eldest daughter of an English gentleman
of that name, who aided Watson in his escape, paid
his passage, and• accompanied him to the United
States, whither be was then going to take possession
lota large property left him by a brother at Nashville.
Watson accompanied the family of Poyzer to Nash-
ville, and gut a situation in a druggist's store. Mr.
P. discovering iu Watson a partiality for his daugh-
ter, and this not being agreeable to him, had dis-
charged him from his house at the time I was in the
country ; but the affections of the daughter had been
engaged. and she eloped with Watson. and was mar-
ried to him. The father would not permit either to
enter his house. The seeds of dissipation were too
deeply rooted in Watson to permit him to remiss
steady; he became an habitual drunkard, ill-treated
his wife, and tamed her out of doors. The father,
moved with compassion at the helpless situation of
his daughter, took her home again. In order to pro- ,
cure t4e means of dis-ipation, Watson bad recourse to
stealing, store and house-breaking, &c. At last he
was detected, awl in December last stood his trial at
the Criminal Court in Nashville. Ile was indicted on
two charges:-IN, store-breaking and robbery; 21,
robbing the Res. Mr. liume's dwelling of sundry *e-
lides of clothing, &c. When the Judge inquired if
he had any thing to say why sentence should not be
passed upon him, Watson rose and made such a pow-
erful appeal to the feelings., as lilted the whole Court
with tears; even the lacgcre wept aloud. Separate
sentences were prJnounced on each offence; for the
first iiffroce, to be hanged till rived, dead, on the Bth
February (:Lis present month ;) far the second to b'
branded and erupt. (If the first sentence be put in
execution, the criminal -will be tolerably independent
of the second.) Mr. who was present on the
trial, tells me application has since been made to tit-
Governor fur a reprieve, but it was nut granted. The '
Nssliville papers subsequent to the rfith have not yet
mitred here, no doubt they will contain an account of
the execution.—(Glargom
