+ EXECUTION.-John MariLey was execnt.d vestor
day. at II o'clock, according his sentences in fold
adjoining 1.-The barracks" in the suburbs of the CITY,
He was carried from the Jail the place of execution
IN carryall, which also contained the Sheriff of h.
county and the Rev. Mr.. Sheffer, who has most zeal
of h
conviction. Having arrived at the gallows the crime
nal assembled the ladder which 70 the plat form with
E hfih and undaqntcd step After hymn had been
sung, the Rev Mr. Shelter feengly addressed the i'm
niense crowd which had assembled OH the destructive
f consequences OF vice. and the Rev Mr. Clark of the
Methodist Church, invoked the pardon of God for tho
wretched criminal and the deveance of mankind from
their besetting sins
- The religious services having been concluded, Mr.
Sha~iter, IN the most and solemn manner an
treated Marley, if he had any knowledge of the muir
de either directly or indirectly to divulge the circum-
as tne last duty he could render mankind and
lot tne reef OF his own conscience But to those en-
treales he protested he has again and AGAIN that
ne ana not murder Neacy and his family and ,oGs entireL

aer the CRIMINAL was placed the drop the fatal moose
adjusted and the drawn his flce-and while in
this situation he again solicited TO divgo The ~
cunsances OF his crimes but he reiterated his
and was then launchedinto eternity His STRUGGLES
were 6rIe-the rising of one Leg and the quick Reav
ing OF the chest being the only indications of agony
1t is for the All Wise and Omniscient God to nd2c
OF the sincerity of the last declaration of Markey: bt
we are grieved to say that his conduct since hi oo
Vlcton mas caused but little evidence that he was in
contre state duly sonsbe of the horrid cbaracto~
Oh inc CRIME Tor which he has suffered with his life
and but few minutes before his execution in ren 10
! questions which propounded he alleged iSSro;
rance as to where he the night of tile murder
or how the clothes of Newey came into his possossio
Neither did he satisfactorily explain single circnn
stances in that mysterious chain which pointed to him
as the undoubted author of the deed.
We happy to say that the crowd behaved With
much dccorun and that accidents occurred-but we
must express Indignation that some females so far
ground. and
among them mothers ,oih nfapts at the breast Wa
hope society will mark their conduct with decided re-
probation, for would readily expect to find hu
mainly IN the bosom Of furnished wolf as to hope for
tender and endearng sentiments in those females who
