Pour reporters were admitted to the prison at twenty minutes past eight, the execution in this itsflanee taking place, contrary to custom at nine o'clock. Their accounts state that the couviet, who had passed a good night, and shewn little or ni;oncern, as for as °quid be gathered from the oent gaol official., ranee the Parting with his and brother, when his self-possession forsook him, went quite firmly, and with head erect, to the drop. The first outward sign of what was about to take place was the tolling of the bell of St. Sepulchre's church, which is nearest the gaol, at a quarter to nine. The striking of the hour found the promotion on Its way t• the drop, which was in a sited on the south ride of the gaol. The eondenmed man, consciously or unconsciously, bowed his head as he passed the little group of prison-warders and reporters. A moment later he was on the drop.

NEW "LIFE-PRESERVER!  The Peal Nei Gazette writes Some improvement is evidently needed in the weapons used by our murderers and garotters. The lifepreserver is no doubt an admirable instronflsnt for destroying life, but it disfigures the victim unnecessarily and outrages the feelings of society, which in these days, when czimes of violence are beramino fashionable, is entitled to some oxtail:aeration. What is required is a weapon equally efficaoions se the lifepreserver but lees injurious in its Ideate to the personal appearance of the robbed and murdered. Such a weapon has come into use in America, and seems in every way adapted to the requirements of the day. It I. called a "sand club," and the attention of the police has of late been specially directed to it, owing to the Interesting 'fact that one of these weapons formed almost the sole worldly poNaniOn of a gentleman hanged last month at San rancisoo for discharging I Colt's revolver in the face of an intimate friend Ins liquor saloon in that city. _ I  -The "sand club" is Made simply by filling an eel. skin with fine sand, and is described as "a very pliable and deadly weapon." A blow can be struck with it which will easily break a bone without leaving the slightest mark on the skin. As a proof of its madts in this respect, it is stated that several bodies of murdered men have been found at different times at New York the post mortem examination of whim showed that death had been camel by external violence, but no marks could be food on the outside of the body. At last • burglar, who was captured with • sand club in his posseesion, was good Ineagh to explain to the police its uses and effects. From his amount it seems that when • victim is "amok cash. head with the club he drops insensible and lean aka from congestion of the bran. Often it Mom that the akull suffers no injury from the stroke, saideltepemset "kook recovers his sensibility, but Pa ill OS happy sedated the sand club that he gradnSligrelmtess into • condition of maudlin idiocy. A p variation in the injuries may be effected by the victim in the body. A person thus struck will stmetimes be knocked down by the blow yet feel no inmediate moults from it. In a few weeks, however, a eseistioa of discomfort is experienced in " the;line of the blow." Mortification set" in, and death is the result. Heller, the celebrated pianist, is "apposed to have met his death in Mexico from this ingenious weapon, which, sea substitute for the poker in the adjustment of domestic differences, cannot be too strongly recommended.  BEERY Mumon.—The following story shows how the breweries thrive in Munich :--" Friend Carl," says one fat Teuton, "can you drink one hundred glasses of beer in a day ? I will wager you cannot." Carl answered, " No, I think not ;" but the next day he accepted the bet, end quaffed off the one hundred mugs of cool, delicious beer.—" Well, I declare !"

THZ MATCH TZADZ OF SWEDIFT.—The manufacture of safety matches in Sweden has developed Itself during the last two years Ins remarkable manner, ..fasiwlsaramsilatil lately the town of Jonkoping stood alone In this respect, supplying the whole of the Con- tinemt and several of the safety match makers in England, there have now sprung up similar. thongh smaller, setsblishments in many of the provincial capital towns, ,which drive a very brisk trade, and are scarcely capable ei meeting the ever-Increasing demand for this article rnrizke the Grocer). The quantity exported to England last year was more than half of the total export *--4,490,0241b. out of 8,351,0281 b. If we take that each box contains 100 matches, the latter weighing one ounce, we find the total exports from Sweden amount to 13,361,644,800 matches, and to England alone 7,184,038.400 matches, and this only from one State. This would give us, taking oar total population at (in i round numbers) 32,000,000, about 225 matches per I mimes for every man, woman, sad child in the country, -as supplied by Sweden. With our home production :and other imports, we fancy the figures would prove rather startling. ASBABBINATIONS IN BILTIhfORZ.—A dispatch from Baltimore, dated the 3rd inst., says :—Mr, Mary Ann Lampley, egad seventy two years, was found lying in her house last night, in the ea.terti section of the city, brutally murdered. The murder was committed during the absence of her husband and daughter 'at the theatre. Mrs. Lrampley was in perfeet health when her family left her. It is supposed that plunder WAS the object of the murderer, as about twelve hundred dollars were taken from the house and the jewelery on Mrs. Lampky's person was taken off and carried away. No farther particulars have yet been obtained.—On Sunday evening last the dead bode of Eiirene A. Furdell. supposed to have been • a Frenchmen, a clockcleaner by occupation, was found in a gully in the vicinity of Eiosve's store, in Anne Arundel county.

The pod-mortam examination held on the doceased faded to discover the direct cause of death, as no marks of violence were found upon the body, exc pt a few slight bruises on the abdomen.

He named a day, and from extreme politeness to one from whose head a crown had fallen, ordered a brief to be made out to enable Ser without sin to eat meat for the rest of her life Lent. As she was leaving, the Popo gave her .us paternal benediction, and handed her the brief, Informing her of the favour it accorded. She was frank person, and said at once that it amid be no good to her, as she was brought up a Protestant, and meant to remain so. "But," said the Pope, "after the trouble of writing it, why let it be lost?. Is the little Princess also a Protestant ?" "Not quite," said the Queen. "She was baptised into the Roman Catholic Church. and will remain there should she make a Catholic match." The Pope asked what her Christian names were, and ordered his secretary to interline them above those of the Qleen, which were to he erased. The brief was thu n handed to Princess Mathilde, who still possesses this souvenir of her first visit to the Vat lean.

MIS. Du.  Mss. Arms. Crown witnesses, there is every probability of the mystery surrounding the death of the unfortunate Florence Dennis being deepened rather thee elucidated. The murdered woman was considered very good-looking, and her sisters, Mrs. Ayriss and Mrs. Dee, who figured so prominently on Saturday, are possessed of considerable personal attractions. The accused is as self-restrained as at the first, and his confidence in his ability to rebut the charge Is said to be as great as ever.  The pilgrimage to that shrine of music for enthusiasts, the Wagner Theatre at Bayreuth, has been as great this year as ever, ma those who hays returned from witnessing the performanuas of the master's works are more impressed than before with the beauty of the compositions, both as regards their literary as well as musical worth. The chief attraction this year was the representation of "Lohengrin " fog the first time at Bayreuth. The opera was given in its entirety, the parts omitted  '4%44  usually in the Italian performances being included. The vast auditorium of the theatre, dtr. signed by the composer, with its absence of tiers and all ornate belongings, was crowded 4 every performance, "Lohengrin " proving equally attractive with "Parsifal," the more pretentious work. Many of those who visited the representations viewed the tomb of Wagner, a plain slab of marble surmounting a mound covered with running ivy, girt with aaetal railings, and sheltered from the high winds by a bank of trees. The sensational finish in the Surrey and Lancashire match has occasioned much talk in the cricket world. It is not often in first-class cricket that elevens score so evenly as to end a match with a tie, and .• such an instance does occur the fact is written large in the chronicles of the game. • peculiar featuft-of the match was the failure of some of the finest batsmen in the kingdom to make a dncent show for their respective sides; and, as • consequence, their averages, while being materially lowered, receive very little variatipii as to order. Siiitstwell, the first bee of the year, could not • Asxx, do anything against the Lancashire bowling, and Abel, a tower of strength is himself, was equally unfortunate. Abel, who has beeic playing for Surrey for the past twelve years, stands th rd in the general list of ,batting averages, being six points behind Brockwell and three behind Mr. Mordaunt.

REMINISCENCES OF THE PAST.  In a letter from a gentleman in the West ef Rag land, dated Feb. 13th, 1760, we are informed of the following remarkable circumstance, whioh happened at Avon, a small village in Devonshire :—As one John Wilson, a labouring man of that plan, was lying en a bench fast asleep, some boys being at play with ohnokere, and the eld man's month being open, one of them chucked ene directly into his mouth, whieh, waking him, and he not being aware of it, stuck in his throat and choked him before my sassistanee could be procured. He was upwards of 90 years of age, and never had had any Edelman. On May sth, 1760, Lord Ferrers was hung at Tyburn, pursuant to his sentence, for the murder of his steward, Mr. Johnson. At the general Quarter Sentient, held at Leicester on July 22nd, two moo were sentenced to stand in the pillory twice, and to be imprisoned for a Month for forcibly dragging from their houses in the parishes of Glow and Burton Ovary near Leicester, several odd women whom they accused of bewitehing a young woman, who was afflicted with a swims cempinint. They took them to the edge of • deep pond, stript them of nearly all their clothes, tied their thumbs and great toes across, then tied a cart rope round their middle, and threw them into the water. Then who sank immediately were considered net to be witches, and were drawn out as quickly as possible, but one woman, who by her struggling and splashing about did not sink directly, was deemed most certainly to be switch, and was thereupon so ill-treated by the mob that she was nearly drowned. Twa of the ringleaders were afterwards apprehended and punished as above. Letter from Clonmel, in Ireland, dated September 14th, 1760. Yesterday was married hens Patrick O'Neil, he was born in 1647, and is now married to his seventh wife, who is of the family of O'Connors ; he was married to hie first wife on /West lilth, 1676 ; to his wend July 4th, 1684 ; to his third May 9th, 1660; to his fourth March Bth, 17111 ; to his fifth June 6th, 1790 ; and to his sixth October 9th, 1740.

It is remarkable that this man never drank aning stronger than plain ate, never ate meat only when he chose to feast his family, living mostly on vegetables, rising and going to bed with the run, unless his ditty prevented it.
