EXSCUTION OF JOHN IZADFORD, AT EXITER.—The awful sentence of the law was this morning indicted upon John Radford, alias Bright, for the murder of Sarah Down*. From the time of his condemnation, tide wretched young man resigned himself to his fate with becoming resignation, and met his end with a degree of fortitude seldom witnessed. He was only twenty-four years old, well formed, and tie bloom of health sat upon his cheeks—even on the drop, no alteration was visible in his countenance. He repeatedly bowed to the great  concourse of persons who were assembled, praying lion to bless them, and reqoested his parents mightlb in• formed he died happy. Alfred, of Moaday.—The same paper, in an account of Railford's oonfession, which he lietated on Friday, states that Sarah Duwne fell into the river in consequence of a rude which he gave her in a it of anger, and that he went down into the water, and endeavoured to get her out, but it being dark, he coold lot find her. It also appears that he dented to the last, atving ever bad any criminal connexion with her.  • STATESMAN  INSOLVENT DELI WKS' LOUR I'.

The, Cuter CommTam:reit said, that the Court hal an frequently occasion to animadvert upon the conduct of Mr. White, and 'they had taken the opportunity of remonstrating wit?, him, in Court, on a previous occasion, respecting his absenting himself at the period of his clients applying fur their descharge, that it was high time he was struck off the Rolls of the Court. Ordered to be struck off the Rolls accordingly. Thomas Reed came up, and was not opposed ; but it appeared that he had taken his case out of his attotn•y's hands (Mr. Carpenter), and entrusted it to a person named Upsdell, who is not an attorney af this Court, and who had drawn out a brief for counsel ; this is contrary to the established rule of the Court, and called forth their animadversions.

Your petition will be dismissed, and you will go hack to prison, that yoar•creditors may know the deliberate fraud you have practised." Petition dismissed accordingly.
