CORK. _  The double execution of Thomas Crowe, fir the murder if Patrick Hyland, and t liristos Bainbos, the Greek, for participating in the mutiny and murder im board the Caswell, when the captain :mil three ettli•ers were massacred. took place on Friday morning at cork. The morning was very tine, and the sun shone brilliantly as the unfortunate men proceeded to the gallows. They both slept during the night, Crowe soundly, but lianibos was rather uneasy. They were attended by their respective chaplains, who engaged with them in prayer. Crowe spent the last two hours of his life in the Homan Catholic chapel, where he heard mass and received communion. Bambos was for that time also occupied in devotion attended by Aran inandri te Stratule, of the Greek Church, Liverpool. It was anticipated that mass according to the Greek ritual would have been said. but it appeared there was no power to celebrate it outside the Greek Church. The service called "Holy Communion preconsecrated " was offered instead, and Bambos received communion at the hands of the Archimandrite. At ten minutes to eight the unhappy men were summoned to the gallows, a call which they obeyed without hesitation, and without any faltering in their steps. Outside the gate leading into the execution yard Marwood pinioned both prisoners after which the procession resumed. They then for the first time had a view of the scaffold. Crowe was still unmoved, and walked with extraordinary liminess. Bainhos, however, betrayed some weakness in his gait, but as he reached the steps leading to the scaffold lie became again firm, and walked steadily on the drop. Immediately after both men joined most audibly in prayer with their chsplains, who stood by them. With marvelhus rapidity Marwoixl made the final arrangements, and in less than a minute from the time they first laid eyes on the gibbet both men were hurled into eternity. I !rowe's death was instantaneous, but Bamhos struggled hard for half a minute, and several minutes after his body moved quite perceptibly. His neck was short and very muscular. He was a young man of only twenty-five years. His companion in death has reached his sixtyififth year, and he was a small man of weak frame. To the last Banilms declared his innocence. He did not blame the judge or jury, but his prosecutors and he said he would give them up to God. It was at first decided that the reporters should not witness the execution, but it seems that Rambos made a special request that they they should be present, and his desire was acceded to.  Flo.: lads have been sentenced by the Brantford police magistrate to II days' imprisonment, with hard labour, for stealing apples. AT the Welsh National Eisteddfod, the awarding of the " chair " prize, which is usually attended with great rejoicing, was an occasion for general sorriw, as the author died upon the day on which he sent in his poem. The proceedings were consequently of an unprecedently solemn and impressive character. THE "Hying Machine," invented by Mr. Scott, of Dover, is nearly completed, and an ascent will be made the first week in October. The machine weighs 301111). and is designed to carry two men. Mr. Scott's two-amine is to start from the sea front, fly direct to oalais, pass round the lighthouse, and be back in Dover in forty minutes. SUICIDE Or A
