EXECUTION OP GRIME, THE WIGAN MURDERER, —Thomas Grime, who was convicted at the last Liverpool assizes of the murder of James Barton, at the Salkhouse Colliery, near Wigan, in January, 1863, suffered death on Saturday in front of Kirkdale Gaol, Liverpool. The horrible details of this murder have been frequently told, and it is unnecessary even briefly to detail them. The execution was fixed for 12 o'clock, and shortly before that hour a serial of crowds, amounting in the aggregate to about 30,000 persons, had assembled within eight of the scaffold. The most perfect order prevailed, and the crowd was remarkable for the absence of the Liverpool " rough " element, the small proportion of women, and the omission of preaching, tract distributing, and comic song singing, which hare of late years been the most marked features of executions at Kirkdale. The convict was brought on the scaffold within two minutes after 12 o'clock, and was accompanied by the Roman catholic chaplain to the gaol, the Rev. Henry Gibson (who had attended him since his condemnation), by Calorsft, the executioner, an Iby the chief warder of the gaol. The cap was at once put over hWiiead, the noose fixed, and on the drop being drawn, the body instantly fell, and disappeared from view behind the screen. As the drop fell the chaplain finished reading the recommendation of the parting soul, and Grime was heard saying, " Lord Jesus receive my soul." During the morning he had spent several hours with his spiritual adviser, and mane remark. to persons about him in accordance with statements be had made at intervals during the week to the governor and other officials, and altogether contradictory of his recent confession. A person named Satterthwaite, who lives in Liverpool, and who had been on intimate terms with Grime, was engaged during the interval between his condemnation and the execution as Grime's attendant, and to this person he malt very positive statements from time to time. Immediately before the execution the convict sent for Mr. Satterthwaite, sad when the latter went into the cell he said, " Well, Thomas, bow are your Grime replied, " Well, old friend, I feel more composed than I have been for some time." Mr. Satterthwaite said, "Well, do you feel satisfied in your mind with respect to affairs!" Grime replied, " Well, you remember the conversation we had last Saturday evening !" and on Mr. Satterthwaite saying " Yee," Grimes went on, " Well, I still retain the same words, that I never laid hands on the old man. You named the parties lost Saturday that did the deed." The persons who had been named in the conversation alluded to were those who have been already in custody oa the charge of murdering Barton. During the morning of the execution the prisoner was composed. He ate • hearty breakfast, and aftenrards asked the chaplain to write a letter to his father, conveying his last expressions of affection. When he appeared on the gallows he was calm, but very pale.
