EXECUTION.—The last sentence of the law was carried into effect upon Bartholomew Murray, for the murders at Over-Peover this morning (Saturday). He appeared quite resigned to his fate. On Friday afternoon he expressed a wish to see the prisoners who (up to the day of his condemnation) had been confined in the same yard with him. He bade all an affectionate and affecting adieu, and on shaking hands with the man in confinementTa on suspicion of shooting a gamekeeper at Huxley, near that fate which so soon he said he hoped he would avoid awaited him. Between eight and nine o'clock in the esvinegtiteo was re-visited by the Roman Catholic clergyman. withwtret to bed, and, taking his Prayer Book in his hand exceptionv of some short intervals, read the contents with marked idotioanttohoritciughout the night. He dressed about four o' breakfast. The county authorities next partook aAhi hearty to the lobby adjoining the outer gate of the Castle. 13STit.oson e(rthoen cityo ot there handcuffed, and the City Sheriff and his officers bellineugrwarnaaysnounced as waiting for the culprit at Glover's boundary mark), Mr. Dunstan conducte.d his in that direction. A strong body of the city posse., armed with cutlasses, attended to keep back the crowd. On the arrival of the county procession at the boundary, a black-railed cart with. out springs was in readiness to convey the culprit to the city gaol. He was lifted into it, and manacles having been fixed to his legs, the Rev. J. Carberry took a seat in the cart by the side of the culprit, both riding with their backs to the horse, which, after the true Tyburn style was led by the hangman, a practitioner from Staffordshire. The crowd was exceedingly dense. The number of females (many of them well dressed present was in a majority of at least two to one of the male sex. They all appeared to view the melancholy procession in the light of a sight of but rare occurrence, and in no way to reflect upon the serious nature of the offence that had brought the unhappy culprit to such an ignominious end. The procession reached the gaol as the clock struck five. The cart was taken to the back door of the prison, and Murray's manacles having been removed, he was conducted through the chapel, in which his coffin was lying, to the cell at the foot of the fatal platform. The Litany was then repeated, and the culprit remained unmoved during the time the fetters were adjusted to his legs, and his arms pinioned, no visible change was perceptible in his countenance, and he continued fervently engaged in prayer during the whole ceremony. In answer to a question from Mr. Eaton, Murray at once replied, " I have no declaration to make." He was then conducted to the drop, and having ascended the scaffold with a firm step, he knelt with Mr. Carberry on the drop. In an instant the drop fell, and he died with scarcely a perceptible struggle. He was in the 19th year of his age.— Chester Paper. We understand that Lord Waldegrave and Mr. Duff (late of the 9th Lancers) will be brought up for judgment on Thursday. A friend, on whose veracity we can rely, assures us that it can be shown, most clearly, that Mr. Duff was not present when the outrage on the Twickenham policeman was perpetrated, and that he can adduce the clearest testimony to that effect. We shall rejoice to find that sudh is the case ; but such testimony can hardly be received now, unless he shows his plea of guilty was recorded without his authority, which we are told he will be enabled to do.— United ',i'ervice Gazette.
