coat of a dark olive green. and dark grey trousers, which
had been sent for by Good's desire, and which were brought
to the gaol by Inspector Busain, of the V division, at a late
hour on Saturday night. At an early hour the Rev. Mr.
Carver visited the culprit in the condemned cell. and re-

At half-past 10 o'clock Good attended divine ser-
e chapel. He afterwards partook of dinner
with a seeming relish, and a few minutes before 3 o'clock he
again attended the chapel, when the Rev. Mr. Lewis, from
Rochester, preached an excellent sermon from Psalm 13, v. 13,
" Wherefore cloth the wicked contemn God? He hath said
in his heart, Thou wilt not require it." The chapel was not
much crowded in the afternoon, there being less than a
dozen hearers in the body of it, and the conduct of the
criminal was therefore more easily observed than in the
morning. Upon the prayers being read the prisoner
turned round and knelt covering the upper part of his
face with his hands, during which time he appeared as if
repeating the responses after the clerk. Occasionally he
stared wildly round the chapel, and clasped his hands to-
gether, as if appealing to heaven. In appearance he was
much altered for the worse since the trial; his dark, quick.
penetrating eyes were inflamed and sunken in his cheek, and
his countenance altogetlip” I,„.

standing in the centre
of the chapel, and evidently struggling with his feelings, en-
deavoured for a few seconds to give utterance to them. At
length, in half choked sobs, he faltered out, as he waved his
hand, " The Lord be with you all !" " God bless you!"
The two turnkeys who accompanied him then led him out of
the chapel to the cell, where he was doomed to
remaining hours he had to exist.

Jass the few

Messrs. Alderman Magnay and Rogers (the Sheriffs,)
ordinary, and the governor, were unremitting in their atten-
tions to the malefactor until a late hour last evenino. ; all
their endeavours, however, to bring him to a true sinte of
repentance were totally fruitless. When pressed closely con-
cerning the atrocious crime which he had committed, he
avoided the question, and dwelt upon some frivolous circum-
stance connected with his dress or his travels abroad. At
twelve o'clock last night he went to bed for the last time and
slept soundly for abyut two hours ; he then awoke and re-
quested the turnkey to read prayers to him, waich was done,
and between three and four o'clock he fell into a doze, during
which he exhibited great restlessness, and finally rose at five
o'clock, and dressed himself in the same clothes in which he
appeared in the chapel yesterday. Shortly afterwards Mr.
Cope entered the condemned cell, when the culprit ex-
claimed, " I am no murderer ; I am no murderer !" but
finding his assurance of innocence made no impression upon
the governor, he desisted from making any further remark to
that gentleman.

By four o'clock the fatal drop, the barriers and all the ne-
cessary apparatus for carrying the law into effect were com-
pleted, and even before that hour groups of people assembled
in the Old Bailey. Before six o'clock above 200 of the City
police, under the direction of Major Shaw, the superinteudant,
in addition to a considerable number of the Metropolitan
police, were stationed in front of the gaol, and at this time
a more dense mass of human beings bad assembled than has
been known since the execution of Fauntleroy. All the
houses opposite the prison had been let to sight-seekins•
-,ers 'd in several

aE u . enormous price, anc. _ instances the
whole of the casements were taken out, and raised seats
erected for their accommodation. In one case a noble lord

was pointed out to the reporter as having been a spectator at
the last four or five executions, his price for his seat was said
to be £l5. The house-tops were likewise covered with per-
hnth male and female ; and the number of spectatcirs
'•-•qe who were present at the execution of

Greenacre or Courvoisier. The usual ribaldry and c
jokes were indulged in, and drunkenness and debauc

were prominent characteristics of the scene.—
Shortly before six o'clock the Sheriffs, Under Sheriffs, the
Ordinary, and other officers of public justice, arrived at the
prison, and proceeded to the condemned cell, where fresh
attempts were made to induce the culprit to acknowledge
the justice of his sentence, but with no better success than
on the previous days. About a quarter past seven o'clock
his breakfast was taken to him ; it consisted of some coffee
and thin bread and butter, of which he ate heartily.—
Calcraft, the hangman, arrived soon afterwards and at
twenty minutes to eight o'clock the reporters were ad-
mitted into the condemned cell, on entering which they
found the convict seated on a form, with the Rev. Mr. Car-
ver by his side. The first words he was heard to ejaculate
were, " Oh, my dear sir, I would not deny it at all if I
were guilty." He appeared at this moment to be in a
most distressed state of mind, but extremely cautious in
what escaped his lips ; indeed it appeared as though he was
acting in the hope that by crcating a belief in his innocence he
might avert-that ignominious death which in a few minutes
he was inevitably doomed to suffer. After a momentary
pause he lifted his hands and, clasping them together, ex-
claimed, as he looked around, "The Lord bless you all, the
Lord of Heaven be with you all." Then, fixing his eyes
upon the Sheriffs, he said, "The Sheriffs—may God bless
you both; I return thanks to you all ; may the Lord God
bless you." Mr. Cope, the governor, then advanced near the
culprit, and was immediately recognised by him ; he ex-
tended his hand to that gentleman, and remarked in a
tone of deep lament, " Oh, Mr. Cope, you have been my
best friend, and may the Lord God bless you. I declare, as
I shortly expect to stand before my Maker, that I never
took a.life. A_s I have often told you, Mr. Cope, when Iwa
_
in SenThi a

Id Portugal for many years, I have seen many a
man killed, but I never took a life, I declare to Almighty
God." During the time he was giving utterance to this
solemn declaration, he continued to fold his hands in an
imploring attitude. The Ordinary then observed, "You
are now about to quit this world —have you any-
thing more to say? Are you prepared to go into the
next world ?" The malefactor again replied, " I
never took a life ; may the Lord receive me into the
gates of Heaven. I never took a life." The reverend divine
then said, " Do you adhere to the statement ? Remember, you
have but a few minutes to live." The prisoner here laid
his left hand on the Ordinary's shoulder, and taking one of
that gentleman's hands into his right, said, " Oh, my dear
Sir, I should own to you if I was guilty; fur I have now
only two or three minutes before I go to my execution.
I never took a life. May the Lord bless you and be with
you all." The chaplain then reminded him of the scriptural
passages he had frequently read to him, and which said, that
those who confess their sins would find mercy in God. The
culprit, however, still repeated that he never took a life—
adding, as he pressed the Ordinary's hand, " If I had I
would tell you, for you are the man I love; I love the
ground on which you tread. You have prayed with me—
you have read and you have talked with me; and I would
not deny it now that I have only a few minutes to live. I
hope the Lord will receive my poor soul." Mr. Carver ob-
served, if you are truly penitent he will, to which the culprit
responded, " Why should I tell a lie when I've only got a
few minutes to live? Oh, my dear Sir, I told a gentleman
when he came up from Norwood, that I would tell you every
thing. Mr. Sheriff Magnay here desired the unhappy con-
vict not to dwell on that subject, as he was only making his
case worse. The ceremony of pinioning here took Owe,
nad the culprit, with a ghastly smile observed, " I think I
see my Maker now before me." He then requested to have
some wine and water, which was administered to him by
Mr. Cope, and the executioner took off his muslin necker-
chief and placed it between his bosom and his coat; upon
this being done the culprit requested the hangman to re-
move the neckerchief, and accept it for himself. The shirt-
collar of the wretched man was afterwards unbuttoned and
turned down at his request, and the chapel bell having
sounded his funeral knell, the solemn procession moved
along the gloomy narrow, windings of the gaol to the
scaffold. Good frequently imploring, in loud accents, the
Almighty to save his soul. He walked with a firm step, and
ascended the steps of the scaffold without assistance. The
prisoner, on being placed under the gallows, was assailed
with the most hideous yells and long-continued execrations
by the mob. When the hangman was about to draw the cap
over his face, the murderer cried out " Stop, stop," and ap-
peared anxious to address the crowd. Calcraft desired him
to attend to the prayers of the Ordinary, and in a few seconds
the bolt was withdrawn, and the unhappy criminal was
launched into eternity. He seemed to struggle violently for
some seconds, and his body, after hanging the usual time,
was cut down. Dr. Elliotson afterwards took a cast of the
murdergr's head in the presence of several medical and
scientific gentlemen.

which perished with the vessel ; a loss iu total of nearly
£20,000. The unfortunate event occurred on the morn-

By the provisions of the theological statute passed at
Oxford last week, Dr. Hampden, Regius Professor of Di-
vinity, has been constituted chairman of the new Theologi-
cal Board, and is also recognised as a public University Pro-
fessor in Dogmatic Theology. The statute, therefore,
virtually rescinds the judgment passed by the university on
the professor's theological opinions, in 1836, on occasion of
his appointment to the chair by her Majesty, at the recom-
mendation of the late whig administration.—Globe.
We understand that a bill is about to be introduced by go-

A. ROBBER

o'clock, before daybreak, on Thursday morning a servant in
the employ of Mr. F. J. Arnold, of Peter-borough House,
near Hornsey, aroused his master with the information, that
he (the servant) had heard footsteps passing along the gravel
walk near to the window of the pantry, and that some one
bad shook the shutter of his room window, Mr. Arnold
immediately arose, and, telling the man to awaken the coach-
man, he armed himself with a brace of pistols, and, accom-
panied by his two servants, left the house by the back door,
and proceeded cautiously to the front of the mansion, where
they distinctly heard a rustling amongst the branches of the
shrubbery, as- though persons were making their way through
the trees

Mr. Arnold called out to the supposed robbe°rs
p, or he would fire, merely intending to intimidate the
fugatives by the threat, and was in the act of rushing forward,
when the pistol he held accidentally exploded, and a loud
groan proceeding from the shrubbery gave token that the
shot had taken effect. On the party reaching the spot, they
discovered, instead of a wounded two-legged midnight ma-
rauder, a couple of four-legged intruders in the shape of a
mare and a foal, in the former of which the shot had taken
effect ; the poor beast being in its last struggles. The ani-
mals had doubtless effected an entrance into the shrubbery
from the adjoining lane on the previous day, whilst the gates
had been left open for the egress of the carriage, and so re-
mained unobserved by the servants.—London paver

not until the whole train had passed over the body of the de-
ceased. On examination it was discovered that the de-

ceased had been dead some hours, as the body was cold and
stiff, and bore evident marks of more than one train having
passed over it. The lower extremities were nearly severed
from the trunk, and were only attached by a small ligature.
From the inquiries I have made at this station this afternoon,
I learn that the deceased was a married man, about 40 years
of age, and a native of Tarvin, in Cheshire. He was in the
employ of Mr. James Tyrer, of Lowton, and engaged as a
bargeman on the Bridgewater Canal. On Monday he dis-
charged his cargo, and spent the greater part of yesterday at
Newton cattle fair. At night he, his master, and some other
men were drinking at the Bull's Head public-house, in pol-

-eft there between ten and eleven o'clock

They were all the worse for liquor. The deceased loitered
behind the rest of the party, and I understand they.saw
nothing of him after they passed the_ bridge over the North

Union Railway, on the LOndon-road. The embankment of
this point of the railway is full eight or ten yards above the

railway on either side, and it is well fenced, so as to prevent
parties trespassing. It was near this place the deceased's
body was found ; and, in case he got upon the railway on
parting from his companions, no less than two luggage trains,
in addition to the mail, must have passed over him. His hat
and shoes were picked up at different places, and the sand on
the railway bore evident marks of the deceased having been
dragged a considerable distance.

PRINTING IN BOMBAY.—Tbe Bombay Times of the Ist
of March, after apologising for "some enormous typogra-
phical errors," which had occurred during the iilness of the
editor and chief corrector of the press, says,—" If the Eng-
lish reader had any guess of the frightful state of backward-
ness of the typographical art in Bombay, be would wonder
less that blunders of this sort should be continually occurring
than that a Bombay paper should be made legible at all. Our

compositors are chiefly Portuguese, who understand next to
nothing of the English language, and who care nothing what-
ever how their work is done, because they know we are at
their mercy, and who, moreover, on the occurrence of a
Saint's day, or native festival, will decamp without warning
from the office, whatever the emergency. A first proof from
them is more like a galley-ful of pie' than a piece of corn-
positorship intended to be read ; and it is only by the inces-
sant and persevering labour of one able and industrious pre-
siding reader, over divers others of inferior responsibility,
that we are able to produce a paper at all intelligible. The
sickness of one or two of the trustworthy men in the office
utterly disables us—there is no resource to fall back upon.
A steady English compositor could earn from £lO to £l5 a
month without the smallest trouble, working from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. This class of European workmen in other depart-
ments so generally drink themselves to death in Bombay,
that no printing-office here has as yet run the risk of paying
their passage out. We shall certainly be driven to it shortly.

THE ROMANCE OF LIFE.—Some short time ago, in one
of the villages on the Firth of Forth, lived a lady whose hus-
band had long before gone to sea, and never having heard
from him for some years, she believed him to have been
dead. At the time her husband went to sea, Mrs. S. lived
in a town in England ; but, after giving up hopes of his
return, she removed, with her only daughter, to her native
country, Scotland. In the course of years a probationer
of the church of Scotland came to officiate as a mis-
sionary in the parisi, and formed an attachment for Miss S.
Seeing no immediate prospect of obtaining a church at
borne, he resolved on transferring himself to one of our
American colonies, and received an appointment there from
a colonial missionary society. Having been united to Miss
S., he took his departure, leaving his wife and mother-in-
law to follow as soon as he should have prepared for their
comfortable reception. They accordingly left this country
501115 time afterwards for America. In the meantime, among
the settlers over whom the young divine's charge extended,
vas a Comfortable farmer, also named S., who made inquiries
alter the history of the minister's wife and mother, and ex-
pdZissaerdan anxious desire to see them on their arrival. They

bility now of landed investment as compared with the uncer-
tainty of previous years. The rental is £lOOO a

fidently declared to be from £l,OOO to £1,200 a year. He
sold the estate for 30,000 guineas, independently of the tim-
ber, which is to be taken at a fair valuation. Mr. Wood,
the solicitor, of Woolbridge, was the purchaser for one of
his Suffolk clients. The event:of Thursday is one of im-
portance, inasmuch as it proves the wisdom displayed by Sir
Robert Peel, and demonstrates a fact which before was
doubtful, that his arrangement of the corn laws has not at
all deteriorated the value of land.—Lonclon paper.

On Thursday the conversatives of Preston celebrated their

About 300 individuals sat down to a sumptuous repast, which

speakers were R. Townley Parker, Esq., and C. Swainson,
Esq., the late conservative candidates for the borough. The
company did not separate until a late hour, having spent the
evening in a manner likely to excite the zeal and energy of

the people in the good cause.
The Times publishes the plan which General Sir George
Cockburn suggested to Sir Robert Peel in August last for
retrieving the finances of the country. It consists, briefly,
in the Government's withdrawing from public and private
banking establishments the power to issue paper money, and
itself issuing instead £30,000 in notes of £5, to £3,000,
which would place a like amount of revenue at the disposal
of Government ; or, if that sum were not found sufficient
for the circulation of the country, then £20,000 more might
be issued.
