COMMUNICATION.

Yesterday about the hour oTtwcive, the
most solemn and Interesting scene ever
before exhibited to so large concourse of
people. took place in the goal yard Of this
city, in the case Of The unfortunate o.
Williams.
When after sentence Of Death, being
by the laws ofthis country passed on him,
and when even hope had lost her influences
as 40 earthly transactions, the mercy Of
his Cod and Saviour brought 10 him the
means of salvation when under the gall
lows. Pause reader, and ask yourself
what can be more interesting a man
condemned by earthly power to be launch
ed al once into never fading eternity,
rescoed from the gripe Of mortal man, and
time afforded him through the mercy Of
God to repent OF crimes heretofore com
mitied.
Whatbeinr will not feel, what hear, is
not warmed when mercy is thus shower
ea down, when the culprit having offend.
edin degree so tIiscordant with justice,
yet these feelings due from r'an 10 man is
rescued from on earthly punishment and
placed 10 situation where repentance will
ensure bim eternal bappisess.
