The execution, at Copenhagen, on the 20th last, of a criminal named Herdein. who, through jealousy, murdered a female to whom he was attached,has produced an uncommon sensation among part of the inhabitants of that metropolis. The ceremonies preceding the execution, the erection of a new moveable scaffold, the resignation manifested by the a ;mina!, and an account of his life, published by a divine, have contributed to excite the cons. passim of the public, so that they appeared to forget the crime in the man. Among the spedators were many well-dressed women, partly on foot, and partly in coaches. The daughter of a respr!table tradesman was so affected by the scene, that she resolved to send some verdigrr4se to another criminal confined on suspicion of administering poison, that he might, by suicide. escape the horrors of a death on the sea/Feld. Failing in this attempt, she then sent him a note concealed in a hymn-book, advising him. after a tiev,,ut perusal of the contents of the volume, to strangle h;mself with his neck. cloth and a wooden spoon, a 14 Pit-be/Eris. The fair adviser was discovrieJ, and it was found, that her ititellceis were occasionally deranged by excessive compassion, and an it resistible desire of doing good.
