CANTERBURY, AVRUST 12.--The Assizes for this county terminated, at Maidstone, on Saturday last,' when the LORD Conte BARON, in a most impressive manner, passed sentence of death on ten male and two female prisoners. Two only of which, William Brawn. fur murder, and Thomas Fowler for fort. ry, were left for execution ; the rest being reprieved be. f .re the Judge left the town.—Yesterday William Brown, the above convict, was executed on Penen. den Heath. He appeared perfectly resigned to his fate, and met death with a fortitude seldom witnessed. He had condUcted himself both during his confine. ment and sinceisis condemnation with great propriety. Patsomts or Wan.—At the late -Lewes Assizes. James Robinson, who holds a mill in the neighbour, I hood of Oswestry ; John Hughes, landlord of the Red Lion, and Post-master at Rye ; and William Hatter, ' fisherman of that town, were convicted before the Right Hon. Lord ELLENBOROUGH, of a conspiracy to effect the escape of General Phillippon, and Lieutenant Gamier, two French officers, who, in breach of their parole of honour, absconded from Oswestry, on the 30th of June last. The evidence adduced in.sup. port tf this charge satisfied the Jury, not only that these men were guilty of this conspiracy. but that Robinson and Hatter had actually conveyed the two ' Frenchmen to the enemy's coast ; and the Jury, without hesitation, found them Guilty. His Lo j al ship, in a most impressive manner, after expatiati 'l 1 on the enormity of this offence, which he decl .1 was scarcely to be distinguished from high treason adjudged Robinson and Hughes to be confined in the common gaol of the county of Sussex, for the space of two years, and within the first month to be placed in and upon the pillory on the sea• shore, near the town of Rye, and as near as could be within sight of the French coast, that they might be viewed, as his Lordship observed, by those enemies of their count, y, whom they had •by their conduct so much befriended : and Hatter having been on the same day convicted of an offence, for which he had been sentenced to be imprisoned fertwel•:e calendar months, was adjudged to be imprisoned in the same gaol for the apace of two years, to be computed from the expiration of his first sentence. GLORY !—A poor honest tar, or rather the remains of one, now at Bristol, exhibits a mangled, mutilated abridgement' of a human being :—he has buried an arm in Bengal—one leg in the Ocean—and the ether at the Cape of Good Hope—and he is lately come to bury his heart (which is still 'as sound as a biscuit) in Old England, his native land 1 This reminds us  Glimil•I•11111••• Counrannitt Moxitsr.—By an Act passed at the close of the last Session, the makers, venders, and utterers of forged Bank-tokens, are liable to fourteen years transportation : the same punishment is inflic. ted on the maker and vender of what are terthedfeek or Pm notes. On the morning of Saturday se'nnight, as a young man was sawing timber in a saw-pit at Broughton, near Edinburgh, a large log of wood fell upon him, (the cross supporters being too weak) and crushed him in a dreadful manner.
