ECUTION.—.Thmes and Pit((two, convicted at the ()hand Assizes, of the murder of Lord Cit u item Lt.'s gamekeeper, underwent their sentence on Monday morning. The prisoners were attended on satuiday morning by Mr. cooper, the Under-Sheriff', and the Rev. Mr. Brown, the Chaplain of the prison, the latter of whom earnestly exhorted them to lay aside all worldly considerations, and to supplicate for mercy nt the throne of Grace. At this time they appeared composed. On the same evening the Reverend Divine had them separately for an hour in the Chapel, when they firmly declared their innocence of the crime for which they had been condenand ; and although repeatedly told that by asserting an untruth they were flying in the lace of their Maker, they still declared they did not commit the murder. In the course of the morning, James's wife and one of his daughters, and his wife's sister, took their final leave of him, and the scene was truly heart-rending, l'ittaway's father was also with him several times on Saturday, and on Sunday his father and brother saw hint for the last time.— On Monday morning, at a quarter before seven, they were brought into the chapel, and were again attended by the Chaplain, who used every possible means in his power to prepare them fin the awful change. The sacrament was again adininistered to them in the most solemn manner. At nine they ascended the scaffold, in front of which an immense concourse .of spectators were assembled, who were remarkably quiet and orderly; the rope was first put round the neck of James, and when affixed lathe galldws, the cap was drawn over his face.— Whilst the executioner was adjusting the rope round the.neck of Pittaway, James said, in an unomeerned.way, " The rope is tight enough for me already, hut I suppose it will aeon be tighter." At ter having again asserted their innocerioi, the drop fell, and they were launched into eternity.  Surctor.—On Saturday last, an Inquest was holden at the Artichoke public-house, Stepney, on the body. of a young woman, named Caroline Swain, otherwise Collins. " appeared that the deceased had been fur several months labour. ing under a dreadful depression of mind, attributed to her hew. ing been cheated into a marriage with a man named Swain, the mate of an East India ship, who, she subsequently discoVered was married to another. Decease' d, at the period of her marriage, was possessed of a considerable sum of motley, besides a small annuity 4, the former she intrusted to Swain, who soon made away with it. After his departure from England, (which was in April) she was delivered of a still-born miens. A few days previous to her death, deceased had occasion to come to London on some business, and is supposed to have purchased the drug, part of which was found in her drawers, lidded in paper, and marked poison. On Wednesday night, she dire. missed her female attendant at an early hour, swallowed the fatal draught, and the next morning wasfound quite dead, A surgeon proved poison to be the immediate cause of dissolution. A verdict of insanity was returned.  The young man named Lowe, who made so conspicuous a figure at Marlborough.street.otlice some short time since, where he appeared in a military dress, has, We understand, obtained his Liberation. His father, it appears, has settled the creditors' claims, and has succeeded in obtaining his ctischarge from the regiment to which he belongvd.--(Sunday Paper.)
