The New-York administration papers repeat
with seeming confidence, the story that the late
Jackson meeting in this city consisted OF serea
thousand persons! See Fals'all's account OF the
eleven men in buckram. To those who know the

Impr,stient Leap.--A overgrOwn Johnny Raw,
who would measure six feet two in his stockings,
made his first appearance in Catskill, IN. W a
few DAYS ago, for the double purpose of disposing
Of load of lumber, and seeing the wonder cfthc
town. Having never in his life fallen IN with a
water craft larger than canoe, his first desire
was to see ship, sloop, horseboat or steamboat,
it was all one to him. He drove directly to the
wharf--a vessel swinging out few yards ir the
stream. BY her cable, and the surface of the wa
ter between her and the wharf covered with float
ing mass of scum, chips and rubbish collected bv
the eddy. He paid no attention to this, but with
his ewes fixed on the vessel, walked to the edge
of the wharf, and Jumped off distance OF about
five feet to take nearer view; down he went,
and the scum closed over him! in moment more
he re-appeared fortunately within reach of the
dock, he seized hold, and crawled out dripping
and shiverng with the cold. Oh dear said he,

Gibbs and Wansley, the pirates, were hung
at Ellis Island near New York, on the Esd in
slant.
The following particulars of the last scene,
are given in the Daily Advertiser:
Yesterday morning, Wansley and Gibbs,
Whose real name is Jeffers,) were taken from
the Belvue Prison by the Marshal, on board the
steamboat Bellona, to Ellis Island, for execution.
They both conducted themselves with perfect
propriety. Wansley, who is stout mulatto man
about % years of age, was very penitent, and
empoyd his time with great earnestnes In sing
ing aud praying. LETTERS was perfectly calm and
colected: he did not join in any religious exer-
cses. bit addressed the multitude in speech of
full half an hour. He acknowledged that he had
been guilty IF many and great crimes; that his
sentence was just, and that he should submit to
it with fortitude. They were both attended by
Divines and other pious individuals, who were
anxious to contribute to their spiritual welfare
At IL o'clock precisely they were told to pre-
pare. aud he drop fell, which launched them in
to Eternity. Wansley received his death almost
Immediately; but letters, having moved the knot
behind his ear, suffered much, and struggled
for some minutes. They both remained sus-
pended about halt an hour, when their bodies
were delivered over to the Surgeons. The day
being fair. the Bay and Harbor was crowded by
boats and vessels with spectators, anxious to
witness the distressing spectacle.
rive understand that the body Of Wansley Is
one Of the most perfect specimens OF manly sym
metry which was ever delivered over to the sur
geons. The phrenologists have been examining
the developments in both the cases; and we shall
no doubt have report of their discoveries.
