      , HOUSE OF COMMONS , Fbidat , Apbil 23 . Mr . Alexander , the new member for Antrim county , took the oaths and bis Beat . The North Mi-Hand llailway Bill , the Chard Canal Bill , and the Clifton Bridge Bill , were severally read a third time , and passed . Mr . Fox MaULe moved that further proceedings on all liiia for the recovery of aautU debts be postponed till the 10 th of May . Alderman Copeland opposed the motion . Parties hid goi : e to a gre&t deal of expeoce in bringing these measur es before Parliament ; they bad been for several years waiting fur a general bill , which appeared to be as renaote now as ever , and they had no alternative bnt to proceed with these local bills . After some discussion the Hto » divided , whtn there appeared—for the motion , 40 ; ssainst it , 30 .

      Mr . Lucas gave notice tLat on latftday he should move for leave to bring in a bill to authorise the stoppage of tbe wages of labourers in Australia , to the ex ' . ent of oae-fourth , in repayment ol Um > expence of their passage to that celony . Mr . Ewari gave notice that on the l&tb of May he should move for leave to bring in a bill fej the better wznagemeut of lunatic asylums . On the motion of Lord Teignmcmth the seoond reading ot the College of Maynouth Bill w » postponed till the 19 th of May . The House went tcto Committee on the A&aiaistratioii of Justice Bill . On clause 7 , which relate * i to the transfer of the funds belonging to suitors fx&m the Court of Exchequer to tLe Court of Chancery r Sir E . Svgdes oljetiea to tbe clause , on the ground that it would diminish the emoluments of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery , a great portion of which was derived from the commission he rectived on the transfer and deposit of stock in the pcblic fuiiiis .

      I j i i ' i i TLe Solicitor General thought that it was injuj dicious to mix up tbe qurstion of tbe emoluments of I the accountsnt-geDtrftl with tbe transfer of funds belongj ing to tbe suitors to tha proper eourt . Mr . C . Bvli-er said it it was clear , from the discus' sion that had taken place , that tbe AccoKntant-General i eked out his salary by receiving a portion of the com-! mission paid to tie broker for tbe preference girea to \ that broker . He trusted , after that bad been stated , j that the Hcosa wouid no longer permit a public officer ; to be paid in so discreditable a way . iHear , bear , ) If I his taiary vras insufficient , let it be increased In a proper

      j and legitimate manner . ! Mr . Briscoe thought it extremely proper that tbe ¦ Accountant-General should be paid by a commission [ upon the sums invested in the public funds . I Mr . O'Coss ell suggested that the Court of Chancery I shoal ! appoint a broker of its own at a fixed salary . I Lord J . Russell , was not aware , until the discussion j had taken piaos , of the manner in waich tbe Ac-| couutaat-GcDeral was paid . Ha should be glad to I attend to any suggestions made by tbe Boo . and Learned Gentleman present , to put on ead to such a system . Tbe clause was then agreed to .

      On clause 19 , for appointing two additional equity jndges , Sir E . Sogden thought one new judge would be enoogn nnti ! they bad ascertained . how tbe system woiked . Be thought the appointment of five equity judges in all , while there were oniy three common law courts , would lead to great inc- < BVenienc © and confusion . Mr . PEMBERTOJf coneurn » d in much ot what ha 4 fallen from the Right Hon . Gantleman , but he was not disposed W -u »^ oa » xtut damo . Air . C . Bv i , LL £ B would support the clause , becau » e he looked upon the measure as one of a serious of beneficial alterations . The Hou . and Learned Gfiutiemaa quoted several cases to show tbe injury and less that bad beea . iuflicted upon suitors through tbe protracted and expensive nature of tbe proceedings in tbe Court of Chancery , and the re&alt of -which in practice was found to be the compromise of 60 out of every 100 suit * . In answer to Mr . Aglionby ,

      The ATTOR . ney-Genebal said he understood that some alterations were contemplated in tlie Six Clerks ' Office , and he would add , that the Lord Chancellor , with the assistance of some of the most eminent man in the profession , was preparing a series of regulations which would be-tosnd most bdaefic&l to the suitors in that eourt and the public Some discussion took place on tbe clause for fixing the salaries of tbe two new judges at £ 5 , 000 per annum each . Mr . Pembebtos suggested that the salary should be £ fi , 000 . Mr . Hcme said £ 5 , 000 per annum oujjht to purchase the services of anv lawyer . The Government bad been reproached with extravagance , and now it was proposed to increase the expenses of the country . Tbe clause was then agreed to . In answer to Sir E Sugden ,

      Lord J . RusSEj-L said he did not think it would be expedient to iotroduce any legislative measure to prevent Masters in Charcery sitting in Parliament . Oa clause 5 G being read , the object of which was to grant compensation to the effiwrs of the Court of Exchequer who might be affected by tbe Bill , The Chancellor of the Excheqjses moved tne introduction of a clause in its stead to exclude Mr . Scarlett , who bad recently been appointed to ths offisa of a Master in the Court of Exchequer , from compensation . Mr . Pembehton said , if compensation were not granted to all tbe persons affected by tha Bill , it would be rejs-cted elsewhere . Lord J . Kcssell said he should never consent to any transfer of the right of that House to originate money clauses to the House cf Lords . After a lengthened discussion the clause , amended so as to include Mr . Scarlett , was earned by a majority of 73 to 70 . The House then resumed .

      In smswtr to Lord Mahon , "who inquired whether it was intended to make any , reduction in tbe number of convicts en board tbe bulks , which had been doubled within the last two years , ' Lord J . Russell said he fully ooncurred In tbe recommendation of \ ht Transportation Committee , and also in the spirit of tbe resolution of the Noble Lord , and it was tbeintaation of the Government to carry tlie recommendstioTis of that committee into effect as soon as it was practicable . Sir B . Peel said tne question was one of tbe greatest importance , more especially now that the system of capital punishments was being done away with . He hoped it would meet the immediate attention of the Government Tbe House then went into Committee of Supply , and a vot « for . £ 21 . 627 , 000 was taken . Court of Chancery ( Ireland ) Bill was read a second time . Adjourned at a quarter before one o ' clock . .

      Monday , April 25 . Sir G- Strickland presented a petition from Saddleworth , with ( i . 500 signatures , taking notice of the declining state of oar manufactures , aad praying for a revision of the import duties . The Hon . Member presented the Mo-wing petitions : —One fromHu . dders& < jld , complaining thit chaplains were appointed to Poor Law Unions and paid at the expense of the ratepayers , this practice operating as an indirect mode of extending the Established Church at tbe expense of persons who did not belong to it ; one from a place in the West-Riding of Yorkshire , the name of which waa not audibly BtaWd , praying for a repeal of the Corn Laws ; and one from the Gaardians of the Todmorden Union , complaining of the expenses to -which parishes were subjected in defraying the charge of vaccinating the children of the pcor .

      Mr . Christopher presented a petition from a Board of Guardians in the city of Lincoln , praying that tb . ty might be invested with a discretionary power to grant out-door relief in certain cases ; and another petition complaining of the arbitrary powers of the Poor Law Commissioners . Tbe great aad long expected business was the committee » a the Irish Registration ( and Qualification ) Bill of the Government The Speaker having left the chair . Lord Howick rose to move an amendment upon the first clause . He bid it down as a principle , that the basis of the county franchise is not occupation , but property ; the £ 50 tenant ' s franchise in England being no real exception from that principle , since £ 40

      renting is itself an evidence of considerable capital Tbe beet franchise for an Irish county voter would , he thought , be a rating on a certain amount beyond all charges and tbe rent specified in tbe lease . The tenants' temptation to put their values unreasonably high for tbe sake of their votes , would be countervailed by their desire to avoid paying too heavy a rate . Tbe ese&sa on -which be would propose to require a rating , in order to confer a franchise , would be an excess of £ b beyond the rent and other charges . The " beneficial interest of £ 10 , " contended for by Mr . O Cc&CdU , after the deductions which that member prof . sseu to allow , would not be unfairly represented by this £ 5 rating . Tbere were some persons , not included in tbe £ 8 leaseholders' test , whom

      Untitled Article

      this £ 5 rating would admit : titowt tot yfaata&M , who paid a very low rait for a property notrntuble in all at so much as £ 8 , but yet yielding to Uie holders a profit of more than £ & beyond that low rent But ai he was aware that on the other bud there w&nld be many Totea whom tha £ 8 leaseholder ' s test would admit , but whom bis £ 5 property rating would exclude , he was disposed to move also another change , admitting a large class of voter *—a change which would substitute , for the Government proposal of a rating on a lease , at a low rent , a proposal of a rating at a higher rent ,, bat without any lease . The clrcumstancesof Ireland , however , were so

      different from those of England , and her general wealth so far inferior , ' that the English £ p 0 franchise , would be too high for Ireland . Wnat . the , proper amount would be ne was not yet prepared to state ; bui it sheuld be an amount which W 6 uld give a constituepoy at least as numerous as that which existed iniruediateif after tbe Reform Act . All lie should now ask of the House would be merely to consent to the principle . He ihen moved to omit those words at tbe end of the first clause wbicb abrogate the beneficial interest franchise created by the Reform Act , for the purpose of enabling him , in the second clause , to define that beneficial interest by the £ rating propounded ia the earlier part of his speech .

      Lord Morpeth said , that though the proposals . of Lord Howick might have been unobjectionable if moved as additions to the franchise provided by the Bill , they would not be eligible as substitutions for that franchise . He believed that tbe test proposed by the Government was the most advisable , and by it be was prepared to abide . , . Mr . C . Wood observed , that Lord Bowick ' s object w&s to avoid that sweeping disfranchteement which the Bill proposed to inflict on all tbe existing voters , nuny of whom the new test contained In that Bill wuuld not reinstate j and tlaa amendment proposing to omit the words of disfntiicliisemc-nt would leave certain classes of the present -voters still in existence , without preventing Ministers from afterward * adding their own new qualifications also . - He then shared the result which , according to the returns , tbe jJtn of an £ 8 rati ' Juj would produce ; it would diafranebn ^ no lets than o&e-mxth of the £ 1 O > voters in fourteen ef the Irish unions ^ .

      Sir C . Q&tit opposed the amosdntent , which he said was much mure than a verbal matter . Mr . C . Wo © f > udded a few words , after which , Lord Stanlisv roee . He agreed with Lord Hbwicfe tr : « t an undue nr . d unnatural dioBkratioa of the'Irish constituency , tinta the amount iuteaded by the , lief or h > Bill , was not to be permitted . It was assumed that such a diminution had already taken place . Mr . O Count' ] 1 , however , bad expressed his opinion during the progress of the Reform Bill , that it would not bring the uiMubcra up to S 9 , 0 # » . There was so- great an excitement on tbe first registry after that Bill , and 10 little

      opposition , that the » nrabers amounted to 52 , 00 ( 1 , They still increased , ncmisially , till the uetpnnial period ; and then , of eenrae , they wera reduced by the striking off o > many tbetwamis . Yet trtffrsday they were between 40 , 000 and 50 , 000 , exceeding by many thousand persons tbe nwubers wbicb Uie Reform Bill was frame * and expected to yield . y WJwn he should see au alarming dkaioutioa of tbe - constituency , be should gla&y co-operate with Lord Howlek for the redress of that evil ; but he wouid not , because some gentlemen declined to grant ieaaes of tbei * property , consent to inundate the constituency by lettiag in voter * without any property whatew .

      Mr . O'Co . >* ell instanced several couotie * in which , though registration had beea stimulated by contests , tbe number of voters was , in bis opinion , unreasonably small in proportion to their population . Lord Howkh rilled bim » elf a . wellwisber » f Ireland ; butbe would better have evinced bis good wishes by moviag to restore the 40 s . freeholders , tliaa by aiding the oppoiitlou as he hat ! just been doing . L rd J . Kl'S&ei , l said , that whentho Legislature bad taken up this subj ^ t , there was- a very general feeling ti > at before it dealt with , th * question of registry it ought to settie tbe question ef franchise . He had tboug&t £ 5 tbe proper amount ; . he bud given way to thu proposal for £ . 8 , in the hope that thin important matter might thus be settled , eonseuiiug to eadure ^

      for so great an object , tbe taunts directed against tbe Government He bad b-.-i-n anxious to retrieve the error committed by a great jimty-, who had preferred their own triumphs to the tr » o % uili ; ufCion of Ireland ; bnt it now appeared that his hope was to be thwarted . Be did not oonsidar thi ? amendment to be mash more tUan a queetion of wording ; but bo was not disposed to concede it , becMpalt would introduca inconvenience into sffcsf quent claaae * He cited some of the printed return ^ , to prove the iocfiicitusy of Lord Howick 1 * proposal for a £ & Ust H was of no nse to talk of futare " redress lor tbe evil of exclo'liog tbe Irish fronl representation : tbe prtsant was the tiaw 6 p reruaUy that defect .

      he was penoodeu , wished to see them honestly and fairly ifepresentedi- wtd not 4 « frauded of their tight *! Yon could not , without exciting great indignation , withdraw the franchise bestowed upon tkem , and taVti a step -wh ' ch would justify an angry spirit ia Ireland . Sir li . Peel said the Noble Lord bail done what be usually ail when his case was peculiarly defectivehe had wade s gene / al declamation on popular rights , to raise a cheer behind him ; and , under tbe cover of that cheer , he bad retired from further discussion , and fancied- be bad made- ' Tr aqod'ssfal speech Referring to the expectations entertained by tbe framers of tbe Reform BiJl , and "by Mr . O'Connell himself , with respect to . the nnmbiitt of the Irish constituency , he showed that these nusaben did now far exceed all those expectations . But it the sumjws were rtully dimiitisliMl , what -were the remedies proposed ? In thirty-two

      Irbh counties , tbe Government proposed the same uuifonn franchise -which belonged t * the borough ; excluding property , and giving everything to occupation . If property ¦ were excluded from U 10 county franchise in Ireland , bow could it be retained in Englaud ? And what cjnfidence could be placed in tbe legislation of a set of Ministers , who , afteT taking time to deliberate throughout the recess , bad brought forward such a measure as this , suddenly changing , two or three days ago , Uieir £ 0 to an £ 8 qualification ? He vindicated , by reference to the testimony given In 1825 by the leading Catholics , the disfranchisement of thu 40 a . freeholders under tbe Relief Bill ; and concluded by strongly declaring his opinion that the conduct of Ministers on this question had disentitled them to tbe confidence of Parliament

      Lord Howick said , his object was not , as bad beea suggested by Ministers , to restrict the franchise , but to enlarge it . He wished to preserve the » Id principle of a property qualification , and to add other qualifications alt > o . SirR . Peei . corrected some errors In Mr . O'ConneU ' s statements by reference to reported passages of that Member ' s speeches : in the c * urae of -which quotations , a good deal of laughter was raised by the perusal of some of Mr . O'ConnelTs old invectives against his present allies . Lord J . Russell and Lord Howick mutually explained—if a little conversation , rather bitter than otherwise , can be callt-d expliuiatwy . The House then divided , and defeated the Ministers by a majority of 21 : thb numbers being 291 and 2 * 0 . A little discussion ensued as to the next day of sitting .

      Lord J . Russell proposed to adjourn till Monday ; but to this delay the House would not consent , and Wednesday was finally fixed .

      LABOUR ; ITS STRUGGLES , AND ITS REWARDS . The general notion in London haa been , that the country labourers are ignorant creatures ; that they have no sentiment at all relative to political rights and liberties ; that , like cattle , they know when they ure hungry , and that their risings and committing acts of violence resemble , in point of motive , the feelings which animate cowajt oxen , when they break out of a barren field to get into , a rich pasture . Such , too , are tbe opinions which oar . Ministers and Members of Parliament have entertained towards these producersof the food and tbe -wool and tbe wood of the country . Proceeding npon these opinions , they nave adopted schools without

      number , and tbe distribution of millions of pamphlets , the main object of all -which has been , to persuade the labourers that Gud never intended anything but potatoes fur them to eat , and that it is grievously sinful in them not to be content with such diet , though they see the fields an * the meadows covered with com and with cattle , created by their own labour . It has also beet : fashionable , amongst even the working classes , to look upon the country labourers , particularly those here in tbe South , as being totally ignorant with regard to publie matters , and as being utterly unable to be made to understand anything about the political causes ' of their misery ; and of course npt knowing the least hi the -world about Parliamentary Reform .

      Such opinions ware nover entertained by me for . any one moment of my life . I from my chitdhodd have known the country labourers well and , in- tsonTersa-Lion as well as in writing , I have always . maintained , that they well understood the nature of their wtyrtg& and the causes of their misery ; and that the day weuld come when they would endure that misery no longer . Now , then , for the circumstances connected with t&is petition , wbieh I have spoken of above . In the month of September , or early in October , 1830 , when scarcely a petition bad recently been sent

      up for Parliamentarp Reform , tbe labourers of the pari sh of Wonston , BnUixjgtou , and Barton Staeey , ( the whole three containing a population less than ' one thousand five hundred sonls , ) met ' at the hamlet of Sutton Seotney , where they agreed , ' to a petition to the King , and subscribed two or three pence a piece , to pay the expenses of a man to carry it and present it to" the King at Brighton , where the King then was . Tbe man ckosen to go on foot this distance of tUAy miles , was Joseph Mason , of Bullington , of -whom I shall have to say a geod deal by-and-by .

      [ The petition was signed by 178 labouring men of the parishes of Wonston , Builingtoo , a&d Barton Staeey . ] When Joseph Mason arrived at Brighton , he -weni to the residence of tbe King , expecting , « sd justly expe ctin to exercise his rigW 'to petitionttwKinjr 1

      « Mr Joseph Maaon , Bullington , Hants . " To come to London , and then to go home , was another hundred and twenty miles , or thereabouts . He , therefore , went to a gentleman at Brighton , whom be knew to hare been born and brought up at Winchester , fare bin the petition , and the insolent note of Herbert Taylor , in order that the former might be sent to the Secretaqr of State . Tble gentleman sent the two papers to his brother , who lives in London , and he brought the papers to me , to know how he was toQti them lo Peel . After looking at the papers , and bearing the whole st ory , I said , "Give me tbe petition . ' let it cot be disgraced by being hawked abewt in that manner : a time will yet come when . Englishmen may petition something other than Herbert Taylor and Peel / When Joseph Mason was drawing up this semible petition ,

      add when be was tramping a hundred and twenty miles on iba - ; business of presenting It , he little thought ot that eendemnatlon to death , and that transportation and slavery for life , to which he was to be sentenced in about two months from tHe day on which he presented himself at tbe palace oJ the King ' s most exdefitnt Majesty' at Brighton ! Her ' tittle " , thought , - that being one of acmrd who extorted a few shillings from- a farmer or » parson , and of which he neither extorted nor took » n 7 part , would be to commit an act of' hiphway robbery , " iot which hesbeold be dragged from his wife and faroHy , eondemned to ' . death , and sent into slavery for life * Suuh , however , was the xemilt > and the EngHahnia * who can hear ih » story without feeling his heart swell , snd feeling the Mood boiling i « bis yeius , deserves t » perish from haager , and to be food for the fowls of tae air .

      Ja about a month after Joseph Mason's faflum t » got bis petition to- the hamls of * Mb most excellent Majesty , 'thot-a rising * for increase of wages ,-which bad begtiB in But Kent , had extended tb * mselves into Hraapshire , and they flnally reacbed the parishes . i » about the centre of which lies the hamlet of Sutton Scotsey . Of the park which this petltioa-carrier took in theser risicRs , I atoll have to speak by-and-by ; but first l 9 t ns « ee who snub what he was . His parents had , for goa « rations , been labourers ; he yruaburn in one of those parishes . He bad a brother whose name is Boberty wbo was not married . Joseph waa married and bad one ohial . They lived in the parish- of Bullington with their mother , wbehad been a widow a good many years , asd who found , ia the great and skilful labour

      of her sons , in their rats sobriety , in their great industry and eacellent mwal character , safe ppotecti « n from want , from nil need of parochial relief , and from al thosfl miseries vrbitb ore the lot ot mothers who have children of a different description . Beslds * the work which thessrtwo young man did fur the farmers in the neighbourhood , they rented a pleco of ground , consisting of about ) three ncres aad a half , whicb tbey cultivated mornings and evenings , and at times when they bad no other work . They kept a cow , fatted a pig or two , and , therefore , as there was but one child in tbe family , they- were a great deal better off ! than the labourers ia general . Tharefore , it was not mere hunger that induced them to- take a part in the risings . They were induced , even if -voluntary , to do it from a

      senseof duty towards their poorer and more unfortunate neighbours . TUo object of the risings was , not to commit acts af violence on anybody , and no- acts of violence were committed ; net for the purpose of committing acts-ot plunder , for no acts of plunder took place ; but eotely for the purpoao of obtaining a- sufficiency . of food and of raiment , and of fuel to Buibe life bearable to those whose labour produced all the food , all ta ^ miment , and all the fueL Yet , for taking the mlkUst and most inoffensive part in then ri « iags > these two excellent youn ^ men were , under the Special Commission wbieh ( Jvrey advised the King to 4 ^ ve , to Vau ^ han , Parke , AMersoa , WeUington .

Secretary vf State ' s office , and received by the eity eberiflf , W . J . Leller , Esq ., on Sunday . The annouBeemeat of jits arrival made no alteration in tbe habit © r manners , of the unhappy youth . He was locked op every night in the condemned cell by himself , and i * said to have enjoyed np to Thursday night , sound and '

      unbroken sleep . On Friday morning tbe Koly sacrament was- administered to him by the- Rev . J .- Carbeiry . He then appeared quite resigned to his fate , and deeply impressed with . tbe , urg # nt necessity ot making fii * peace with God . O& Friday afternoon he -expressed a wish to seethe prisoH « rs who up . to . th ? day of his condemnation Aad been confined' in the same yard with him . He bade all an affectionate adieu . Between eight and nine o ' clock in the evening he was revisited by the Roman Catholic clergyman . He then undressed himself , got into bed , and taking nis prayer-book in hia . band , with ( lie exception of some short inUrvals , read the contents with njarkeil davotion throughput the night He dreascd about fo « r o ' clock , and parboak of a hearty breakfast- The reading of the usual-iiiorniM

      prayers soon of let coinmtaead , the culprit , in an audible voice , joiwng ia tbe service , and repeating word for word after the clergyouan . The county authorities next conducted . Murray to the lobby adjoining the outer gate of the castle . He- vras thera hanciculftd , and the city sheriff and Ida offlco » being annotnoed as waiting for the culprit at Glower ' s Stone , the city boundary , Mr . Duustaa conducted Ilia prisoner on-foot in that direction . A strong body of the city police , armed with cutlasses , attended to , keep back tbeerowd . The unhappy aiita walked by the side of the priest , fltill repeating the prayers . His step was remarkably firm , and tbe gaze of a crowd of some thousands did not appear in tbe least to affect him . On-the arrival of tbe ceunty procession at the

      boondaiy , a black railed cart , without springs , provided by tb » oity autboritks , was in roadine s * to convoy the culprit £ o th » olty gaol . He was lifted into it by M > r . Hill , tbe auperintendent of the city police , and ' Mr . - Haawell , the governor of the city gaol , and manacles hsTiiig beeu fixed to bis leg ? , tbe &cv . 3 . Carberry took a seat iu' the catt by the side of the culprit , both riding , with their backs to the horse , which , after tbe true Xyburn stile , was led by- the hangman , a practitioner from Staffordshire . The governor , of the ., city , gaol headed the- procession , and-the sheriff under sheriff , and a large body of offiuera brought up the rear . The crowd was exceedingly rtense , and the police constables bod great difficulty in keeping them back , so as to mak « a passagt ) for the cart .

      The procession , reached the gaol as the clock struck five- The cart wa * taken to the back do or of tbe prison , and Murray ' s manacles having : been removed , be was conducted tbroagh tuo ehapei , in which his ooffin , mode of plain undressed' deal , was lying , to the cell at tbe foot of the fatal platform . The sight of neither . the coffin- Bor drop appeared to affect him in tbe least . On entering the cell be directly knelt down and oontinued his devotions . At half-past nio » o ' clock a aeoond breakfast was provided . Murray merely toiik a single cup of tea . About ten o ' clock the Rev . W . &- Eatoa , the county prison ohapluin , puld the unfortunate man another , visit ?

      Aft < ir abating hajuis wiui him , the reverend gentlemaftsaid , " Well , Munay , - howd » yon feel t What is the state of your mind at present ? ' The answer to whiqh . was , " Qalte " composed . "' The cbagla ^ tben naked , " A * e you prepared Isr the awfol change sa shortly about to take place 1 " Murray replied , " Yea , * ii . " ' ** Do yoafeel perfectly resigned to your fateJ " lt Y " e » , Bir . " Too reverend Chaplain then tendexed bii services to the unfortunate niao , who \ through Me . Carberry , respectfully declined them , ni the same time thanking the reverend gentleman for hia kind offer and tbe general attention shown to-him during his lengthened imprisonment in the county gaol .

      . At length all beiag prepased , and just as the unfortunate mart was about to b « eendusted to tbe drop , tbe Kev . Mr . Eaton feelingly appealed to him in the follow-, ing words :. — " Bartholomew Marray , I liava obtained the permission of Mr . Carberry to ask you a solemn question . "She religious exorcise * to which you have been subject must have very deeply , impressed , your mind , and as you are about very shortly to apgeat in the presence of Gtoi , I do not require you to answer unless you do it in sincerity and tratitf ^ Ialhe « enten « e , for vrhicb . you are now * b « it twauff ** . just or unjust ?" Murray at oue ' e replied , ' " i huM no declaiatiou to make . " He was then cantlucted W the diop , ' and baying ascended , the scnft > Id with a firm step , bb knelt

      with B 4 tv Carberry on the ; drop . After a i » w minutes spent in prayer , tbe executioner proceeded to adjust the rope . His pastor thea administertKl the sacraoienti of extreme unction , - add , ' turning round and sbakLng band ' s with Murray , said , "I am now abeutto leave ybir , " to which he replied , in a fitm voice , " I am saUt&ed , God be with you . " These wure his last Worda ; ia an instant the drop fell , and he died without a perceptible struggle . He was ia the nineteenth year ot nis age . The body , after banging the usual time , was cut down and placed in a coffin . At night it was privately removed to the Castle , and , agreeably to the provisions of the Act of Parliament , interred within the precinets , without Christian burial . .

      From tbe circumstance of there having been no public execution in Chester since April 19 th , 1834 , en immense concourse of spectators were collected together on tbe city walls . At the moment of the execution , twenty-five minutes past twelve o ' clock , the crowd was exceedingly dense . Fortunately , no accident of consequence occurred .
