II should here be stated, that the last time

but was ofraid to ascend it. After lapse Of
few minutes, the youngest Of the execu.
tioners, defying the threots and missiles of the
crowd, mounted The scaffoId. and had short
conversation with Hsbard. II would appear
that the latter said TO him 'free me from
these cords" for he was still fastened to the
plank. The assistant told him TO turn his
head, at the same time seized him by the neck
and gave him several wounds with shoe
msker's knife. Hebard's head, nearly half
of, hung on bis left shoulder, and the execu.
toner was obliged to leap from the scaffold,
and made his escape amongst the gendarmes.
II was now ten minutes past six. Hebard,

the gaze Of the spectators. Some persons
declared that they could perceive him move
for more than half an hour, during which time
he frequently opened his mouth. II was i'm.
possible to remove the corpse without the aid
Of strong escort of the military; and in the
course of the evening the crowd surrounded
the executioner's house, and broke all the
windows. II is but justice to state, that the
executioner was not at fault, as it appears,

Emery, the English .4ctor.--One evening,
when Pizarro was announced ss the play,
there was considerable delay in commencing,
in consequence of one of the performers be.
ing absent : the audience became impatient.
when John KembIe (Rolla) came forward and
delivered himself to this effect Ladies and
gentlemen--at the request Of The principal
performers in the play this evening, sm to
inform you that the person absent is Mr.. Em.
cry" The house received this explanation
without any disapprobation or otherwise
Emery ct that period, although a very pa
thctic actor, had not arrived at the summit Of
excellence, and on this evening the part of
the Sentinel was given to him. Scarcely
had Mr.. Kemble quilted the stage, when,
dressed in great coat, dirty boots, and a
face red with haste and wet with perspira.
tion, on rushed the culprit. Emery stayed
some moments before the audience, apparent.
ly much agitated, and at length delivered
himself TO this effect: "LadIes and gentle.
men-this is the first time have ever had to
appear before you as an apologist. As have
been the sole cause Of the dehy in your en-
tertainment, allow me shortly TO offer my ex
cuse, when am sure ! shall obtain an &C.
qultal, especially from the fair part Of this
brilliant audience. Ladies, 0or you must
particularly address) my wifel" and here the
poor fellows feelings almost overcame him,
"my wife was but an hour since brought to
bed, and r. (thunders ofapplause interrupt
ed the Apology "and ran for the DOCTOR"
"You've said enough" exclaimed thousand
tongues. 81 could not leave her. ladies', un.
I'll knew she was SAFE" bravo, Emery,
you've said enough!" was re echoed from all
parts Of the house. Emery was completely
Overpowered and after making another in.
effectual attempt to proceed. retired, having
first placed his hand on his heart, and bowed
gratefully to all parts ofthe house. The play
proceeded without interruption /; but it ap-
peared Emery had not forgotten his obliga
ton to Kemble /; for, in tina, scene before the
prison, the scene in which Rolls tries to cor
rnpt the sentinel by money, the following
strange interruption occurredin the dialogue:
Rolla--"Eave you a wife?"
Sentinel--"I have" tt
Rolla-"Children? ?"
Sentinel--I had two this morning--I have
three noo." Loud applause followed this re.
taliation, which continued so long that the
entire effect of this scene was lost and Mr..
kembe, after waiting some time in awkward
confusion, terminated it by abruptly rushing
into the prison.

to indulge the hopes of reprieve, and even
encouraged to it by the turkeys, when one
morning, at I'D o'clock, his door was opened
by a commissary Of police, and he was told
TO prepare for death at 4 in the afternoon Of
the same day. The murderer was a man
whose nerves were well strung He bowed
his head in scquiescence of the fatal mandate,
and showed that he had made up his mind to
the worst. All the request he made was that
a priest should be sent for, to whom he ma de
q confession of his crime, and desired that it
should be disclosed to the public. AT the ex !.
&C., hour he was conducted from his dungeon
and placed on the fatal car; but he was
scarcely seated thereon. when he was in
formed that the execution was put off for two
hours. The unfortunate man imagined that
a respite had been received, but this was not
tho case. For nearly five years an execution
had not taken place in this department. The
scnffold was partly broken one Of the exc
cutioner's assistants was accused Of having
done II in order Ia play trick upon his mas
ter. The Kings Procureur. gave immediate
orders for its being repaired and it was
thought that, as soon az the carpenter had
finished his work, the execution would take
place. The prisoner was again brought, at
SIX o'clock, in the midst Of nn immense con.
course OF people the gems d'armes, with their
swords drawn, kept back the crowd, and
cleared an extensive space around the scaf.
fold. The prisoner walked up with a firm
step, and was bound to tho board laid across
the scaffold. The executioner and two rs.
sistants had taken their places close 10 the
unfortunate criminal. Upon the usual signal
the convict's head was placed between the
lunette. The knife fell. but with irem
bling motion. and did not touch Tho criminal.
A cry of horror arose from the crowd. The
knife was sgsin hftcd--it fell a second time,
but without reaching the criminals neck k--hc
uttered piercing cries. A volley Of stones
was discharged st the execuIoner and hls
