Burke, the atrocious murderer, was executed
at Edingburg on the 2sth of January. The Lon
don Courier says:-' From an expression which
fell from him before he left the prison, it appears
that he was fully sensible of the horror which
his crimes had excited, as he expected to be torn
to pieces by the people before he could reach the
scaffold This feeling made him look to the shame
full death which he was to undergo to a refuge,
and IL was evidently his wish that the execution
should be fastened az much possible. Though,
"a far personal violence concerned, his an
ticipations were not rcaIiZed--the wild shout of
exultation with which each of his steps towards
death was cheered by assembled thousands-the
execration poured forth around hin-the cries of
'Burks him., which told him that as he had created
new species Of crime, he had also given it his
name, and thus combined il with everlasting in
iamy-the public curses breaking in thunders e.
ven upon the solemnty Of bis last prayers when
he kneit before the God to whom he was going to
render up his spirit-all must have shown him
that his estimate OF the popular feeling was lust.
