decayed; and the sacred remains have
been restored 10 their resting place.
Our readers are aware that Sir The
mas was beheaded on The sixth of Ju

age, but they are not perhaps equally
aware, thataiier The execution, though
the body was buried in the CHURCH Of
Saint Peter, in the Tower, and after
wards in Chelsea Church, where it
now lies, yet his head was set on a
pole upoa London Bridge; aud was
afterwards privately bought by his
daughter Margaret, wife Of John Ro
per, Ese a distinguished family long
resident in the parish of 81 Dunstans }
His daughter preserved the head in a
box, with mach devotion, and placed
ltin a vault, partly inihe wall Oh the
soo,h side ofthe Church, where it was
recently discovered, and very rear 10
her own tomb. The soMh channel OF
the Church is called the Roper chan

snrcoat, with the arms o. Sir: Thon as
Moore on it Hume says-of this in

up, and when / come down again, let
me shift for myself" The executioner
asking him forgiveness, he gr.ntedtne
request, but told him, you will never
get credit by hehcading me, my neck
IS so short" Then laying his head on
the block he babe the excu'ioncr stay
till he put aside his beard: "Eor," said
he ut never committed treason

past, of going to the top Arthur's Seat,
on May day, at an early hour in the
morning, took his accustomed walk, on
Saturday, the ist of May, 1924, accom-
panied by four grand-sons. He put
into the hands of several friends, par
-ticularly students of medicine, whom he
met there, the following address TO Old

Delany. Of the brig Cato, arrived at
this port yesterday. states that con-
slant firing was Rep, up between thf
rastle and the town of Vera Cruz on
the nights of the 18th aud i9!h ult.-
The following particulars have Ike
wise been received: Gen. Victoria
notified capt. Stevens. of the U. ..
schr. Shark, lying under the guns OF
the Fort at SacrIfcius, hat he would
fire on all boats passing from the
castle to him, and wonld not hold
himself responsible for any accidents
that might happen to his vessel or
boats. On the afternoon of the 18Th
a boat vas seen coming from the
castle to the Shark, which was i'm.
mediateIy ordered of. On the fol-
lowing morning capt. S. sent lIeute-
nant Hobbs to the governor OF the
castle, to give his reasons for not
suffering his boat to board him. The
apology did not satisfy his ho.
nor, who expressed some dispiea
sure. as he had sent in the boat some
American prisoners, who had been
taken in Spanish schooner. Lieut..
Hobbs then returned on board the
Shark, and in about an hour alter
wards, TWO boats, one bearing 4
white flag, were seen approaching
the Shark from the castle. When
within reach Of the guns at Sacrlfi-
clos, the fort fred upon them, d the
castle at the same time opened upon
the town. Capt. Stevens, surprising
the boats had the prisoners before
mentioned with them, permitted them
to board the Shark, but learned from
the officer, that their object was to
express to capt. 8. the governors
disapprobaiion of his conduct, and
to order him out IF the Mer,can seas.
The course pursued by capt. S. was
not known when the Cato sailed.
