EXECUTION OF NEGRO ToM.-The An
napolis correspondent of the Clipper gives
the following account Of this execution,
which took place on Friday last:
Negro Tom, convicted at the April Term
of Anne Arundel County Court, of rape up
on Mrs. Hawkins, white married lady.
living near Owensvlle, West River, suffered
the penalty of the law this day, according
to the sentence OF the court and the appoint
ment of the Governor.
At IL O'Clock, the culprit appeared upon
the stand, together with the sheriff and three
of his officers, and the Rev. Messrs. Brooke,
Watkins and Blake, of the nj. E. Church.
An impressive prayer for the salvation of
the cuIpril, and likewise for the bystanders,
was then made to the Throne of Grace by
the Rev. Mr.. Watkins. After which the
same gentleman, at the request of the con-
demned man, made in substance the follow
ing statement:
Soon after his (Tom's) conviction, |, with
another minister now upon The stand, visited
him for the purpose of endeavoring to inslil
into his mind the principles of christianity
and among other questions, we enquired il
he was guilty of the crime Cor which he was
to suffer, and he frankly informed US thai
he was. We continued our visits, and after
the lapse of some or 10 days, heard &
report that he had stated to others that the
lad y upon whom he had committed the deco
had been very familiar with him upon seve'
raj occasions. On my next visit, informed
him of what had heard, and inquired if hi
had so informed any person; he stated tina
he had done so upon the representation Of
small man, who visited him, ,hatif he woult
say SO and stick to it, the Governor wouls
pardon him, and, said the reverend gentle
man, he described the dress of this man, blu
it would not be in place to state it here
We endeavored and succeeded in disabusin.

who belonged to persons residing in Queen
Anne's county, Md. The Delaware Repub-
lican says:
The negroes had been arrested and placed
in the Jail at New Castle, but owing to an

city and sent out ofthe State On Thursday,
verdict was rendered against Mr.. Hum,

amounting to S250O On the two follow

his mind of this vain hope, and spiritually,
things began to assume more gratifying
aspect. He acknowledged that the offence
for which he was to suffer was the only Of
fence Of the kind 10 his knowledge that had
been committed against this lady, and that
the statement about the lady's familiarity
with him was false, and he stated he knew
he could not be saved if he died with lie
in his mouth. The reverend gentleman here
appealed to the culprit to say whether The
statement he had made was a true one, and
the reply, in a clear and audible tone of
voice was "yes sir.'
The speaker then addressed himself in a
lew words of warning to the multitude pre-
sent. lie stated the fact that it was impos-
sble for a mortal to search the heart of an
other, but they hoped the criminal would be
pdrdoned of all his crimes and find mercy
at the hand Of God. During the address,,
Tom turned frequently to that part of the
platform where The speaker stood.
! One Of the sherff's officers then placed
the rope about his neck, and adjusted the
cap over his face, during which the criminal
sung in distinct voice two or three verses
! of hymn, of which ] can recollect only
the following words:
"Farewell-p eople-farewell.''
In brief space of time after he ceased
singing. the drop fell, and with few quv-
ering of the limbs he was launched into
eternity at II l-2 o'clock. After being sus-
pended for short time, his body was taken
down, placed in the coffin previously pre-
pared for its reception, and taken away,
presume by direction Of the sheriff.
Great credit is due to sheriff Welch for his
exemplary conduct throughout this trying

From EURorE.-By late arrival from
Europe we have the following important
items Of news:
Paris, May l6th.-The Government has
arrested very great number Of persons for
having been engaged in the insurrectlonarv
movements of Monday last. BIanqui, who
was one of the (ormost among them, has es-
capped; but Sobrier. Raspail, Cabbel, Louis
Blanc, Albert (ouurier) Barbes, Hubert, and
Courtais were apprehended and are now in
custody. Courlais, who had command of
the National Guard, was stripped of his ep-
aulettes
A motion was made in the Assembly this
morning for the immediate trial of Louis
Blanc and Albert. 1t was carried.
Three of the National Guard were killed
during the night.
A rescue of the prisoners at the Hotel de
Vile was apprehended ; and efficient pre-
partitions were made to meet any such at
tempt. As yet however, none had been
made.
The Journal Des Debats of this morning
states that the members of Polytechnic
School placed themselves, armed, at the dis
posal of the Government, upon the frs. a.
larm of the instruction.
The city has been tranquil during the
whole morning, but it has the appearance Of
being III a state of siege. Another demon
stra,ion is expected during the day, but the
preparations Of the government are so COM
plete that no fears are entertained.
We learn by later arrival that the con-
spiracy for the overturn of the Republic aud
the establishment of Terrorism, has been
sigualIy defeated The greater portion of
the wrelched promoters Of this insane move
ment are now either in the hands of the au-
thoriles, or reduced to condition which
will not admit of their being able to do fur
Their harm.
Louis Blanc, however, is still at liberty.
although there were strong grounds for
suspec.ing that he was ACTUALLY with the
conspirators during the two hours he was
absent from the National Assembly on Mon
day.
The strongest means had been adopted to
prevent recurrence of physical display by
the members of the Secret Clubs.
The allegiance of the troops of the Line
and the National Guard is fully depended
on, and NJ. Lamar,ine's popularity has been
efectually restored. Still feeling is wide
! ly prevalent that the Government is feeble
and the ultra democratic party in the ascen-
dant; but the presumption is scarcely war
ran,ed, Judging from the results Of the de.
termined bearing exhibited BY the majority
of the interim government.
