took their station under the shade at the
foot of the gallows. In few moments
the Ordinary, and other grayhaircd
gentlemen, made their appearance; and
between them was the unfortunate Grim
inal. He ascended the steps with con
siderable firmness. His arms were pin
ioned before and behind; and when he
stood on the gallows ! could hear the
EXPLANATIONS OF the crowd II Lord, Lord,
what fine young man! Poor fellow :
He was dressed in Il suit of respectable
mourning, and wore black kid gloves.
His light hair had evidently been ad-
justed with some care, and TELL IN loose
curls over each side Of his temples
His countenance was much as ! saw II
on the preceding evening--ieariuily pale,
and his demeapor was much more com
posed than | had expected, from what j
had witnessed of his agitation in the
condemned cell Lille bowed twice very
low and rather formally, TO the crowd a.
round---gave a sudden 4 ghastly glance
at the beam over his head, from which
the rope was suspended, and then sut-
fered the executioner to place him on
the precise spot which he was to occu-
py; and prepare him for death. ] was
shocked at the air OF sullen, brutal indlt-
ference, with which the exocutiOner
loosed and removed his neck-handker-
chief, which was white, and tied with
neatness and precision--dropped the
accursed moose over his head, and ad-
justed it round the bare neck---I could
stand il no longer. ! staggered from my
place at the window to distant part OF
the room, dropped into char, shut my
eyes, closed my tngling ears with my
fingers, land with hurried aspiration
for Gods mercy towards the wretched
young criminal who, within few yards
of me, was perhaps that instant surren-
dering his life into the hands which gave
it, continued motionlcss for some minutes,
till the noise made by the persons at the
window, in leaving convinced me all was
over. l'rose and followed them down
stairs; worked my way through the crowd
without daring to elevate my eyes, lest
they should encounter the suspended
corpse threw myself into a coach, and
hurried home. did not recover the
agitation produced by this scene for sew
eral days. This was the end Of FoR-
GER!
In conclusion may just inform the rca-
der, that ! faithfully executed the COM
mission with which he had in,rustcd me,
and bitter, heart-rending business it
was!

The present posture of our National
Affairs is peculiar and alarming. The
National Executive is in fact in opposi-
ton, not to the administration, for il is it
self the administration, but to the Fed
eral Government. Georgia says, the In
dians shall be removed in defiance of
the Federal Government so says the
National Executive. S. Carolina says,
the Tariff shall be resisted in defiance Of
thcFederal Government. Not a rebuke
docs she hear from the National Execu-
tive. The Southern States say, Inter-
nal Improvement shall be stopped, in
defiance of the Federal authority ;--and
SO says the National Executive. We
have thus the National Administration
In opposition to the National Govern
ment. Ii is soberly and truly an anom-
alous and alarming condition of things;
for it threatens the existence of the Gov
crnmcnt. Boston Patriot.
From the contents Of the Washington
letters and newspapers, we are led to
expect pamphlet from MIR. Calhoun,
in relation to his difficulty with Gen,
jackson. Boston Tribune.

which Richard X. Randolph, esq. was
engaged for the plaintiff, and Henry Y.
Cranston, esq for the defendant. Just
as Mr.. Randolph commenced the open
ing, Mr.. Cranston observed to him, in
rather a low tone ofvoicc, that he thought
it was his duty, or at all events it was
fair and proper, under the recent deci-
sion of the Court made at the present
term, in the case 'Chase, Trustee 10 Shaw
vs. Borden,' to apprize him, at least, that
BATEMAN MoNRo, who, it will be remem-
bered, was the masonic juror rejected in
that case, was now of the pannel, and
that the defendant, Mr.. Cranston's eli
ent, was also mason. To all this MIR.
Randolph replied, distinctly and with
earnestness, that that made no manner of
difference to him-he did not care any
thing about who were masons or anti ma
sons-he himself was neither the one or
the other. BY this time the plaintiff
stepped up to Mr.. Randolph, and appear
ed to say something to him upon that sub
jcct, when Mr.. II. turning partly towards
the Court, observed to his client, that he
(Mr. II. would manage his case with
care and fidelity, but, if he, the plaintiff,
wished an objection made to the juror
because he was a mason, he must en-
ploy some other Attorney to make that
motion, and to manage his case, for he
Mr.. II. } would never make such q motion
for any client-he would not degrade
himselfb by making such a motion--he
had nothing to do with masonry or anti
masonry, especially in his professional
business. Mr. Cranston then observed
to the Court, that he had felt himself
compelled from sense of duty as an Of
iicer of the Court, to pay proper respect
to the decision made by the Court in
former trial, and he could not, therefore,
suffer this trial to progress without inform
ing the counsel for the plaintiff of the cir
cumstances attending this .casc, SO that
he might have the rejected masonic ju-
ror taken off, if he thought proper to do
so. The plaintiff himself, then observed
to the Court, that he did not care any
thing about Mr.. Monro's being a mason
he thought he would just name the
thing to his lawyer, as the Court had
done something about that matter in ano-
ther case-as for himself he had Just as
lives have his case tried by masons, as
by any other men--he cared nothing at
all about such things-Mr. Monro was q
good man, and he did not wish him taken
off the jury. Chief Justice Childs then
observed-"Mr. Randolph, you will pro-
ceed."
The juror remained upon the pannel,
Notwithstanding the former decision Of
the Court that has made so much noise
in the world.
If Monro was an incompetent juror in
the Borden case on account Of his being
a mason, we should be glad to learn the
manner in which his competency IN this
case, had been restored? He was then,
and still IS, MASON.

NAVAL CoURT MARTIAL.-We learn
from Philadelphia, that the Court Mar
tial for the trial ofCommodore Crciph-
ton assembled Jan. Sd, when the Court
was organized, the charges read, and
the plea Of not guilty entered. There
are two sets Of charges preferred against
the accused, both having relation to
offence allCdged to have been committed
while in command of the frigate Hudson
the first of these, preferred by the Ma
Wy Department, as the relation Of Lieu
tenant J. III. Homans and others, and the
other by the Navy Department, at the
relation of Lieut.. T. w. Freelon and
others. The reading of the chagcs oc-
cupiod two hours On Tuesday and
Wednesday, Lieut.. llomans underwent
a long examination and cross-examina-
ton, on the charges preferred at his re-
lation. Iiity-ninc witnesses are in at
tendance on the Court, forty-fve on the
part of the prosecution and fourteen for
the accused. 1t is thought that the pro-
cccdngs will occupy the Court FIVE or
six weeks.

r.. /. LEGlSLATURE.-The Gen
eral Assembly of this State, convened at
E.Greenwich on Tuesday, lth inst. The
House and Senate formed quorum at
half past 10 O'clock In the house 81
members only were present, barely a
quorum. The following summary Of the
doings of the Assembly, we find in the
Providence American.
In the House, the petition Of James
Stevens, requesting an extension Of the
time in which he is to deliver to the Sec
retary, for the use OF the State, one hun
dred maps of Rhode Island for the pur-
pose of adding the Indian and original
proprietors' names to the map; the sound
ings in Narragansett bay, and other i'm
ovements-receiyed and referred to
Messrs Robbins, Arnold and Pratt.
Petition Of Thomas p Ives, Sullivan
Dorr, and others, the Blackstone Canal
Company, stating that the estimated cost
Of the Canal was S350,O00 that capi-
tai. of S500,O0o was raised, to which
$4,000 have been added-Thnt the
completion Of the Canal has cost nearly
100000, and that the existing claims
upon the Company, are $4,000. The
water power of the Blackstone and Mas
sachusetts rivers, has been greatly in
creased by the Canal and other advan-
tages conferred on the State the work
having been done almost wholly by
Rhode Island Capital. They therefore
pray for Charter as the Blackstone
Canal Bank, through which facilities
may be offered for discharging the debts
of the Company, without injury to the
State.
Glass Manufactory.-The Messrs
Dyers and others, have in progress an
establishment Gorthe manufacture ofg lass,
situated on Eddy's Point, near the Steam
Factory in Providence. The Establish
ment will probably go into operation next
season, and promises to add to our indus
try an important branch of manufacture,
highly beneficial to the town where it is
situated, and to the State. We earnest
ly wish every success to the enterpris-
ing proprietors. They have applied for
an act OF incorporation, stating that they
have associated themselves together for
the purpose Of manufacturing Flint Glass
at Providence, under the firm Of the
Providence Flint Glass Company. That
this is branch of manufacturing busi-
ness, never before introduced into this
state, and they firmly believe, if their
efforts, should prove successful, the pub
lie would derive important advantages
therefrom, inasmuch as we should be
able TO manufacture for ourselves what
We now pay large sums for, to other
states, and aid in supplying other states
and that Charter of incorporation would
afford them great aid in the manage
ment Of their business. Signed John
Mackie, Il. s. G. Dyer, VIM. Butler,
Samuel Guild, Joseph Manton, j. Mau-
ran, VIM. Ewyrs.
The House adjourned until 8 O'Clock
