trary to the laws of God , and that he was murdered . After receiving sentence he put on his hat , and throwing his great coat over his arm , included both judge and jury in one horrid curse . He was not sentenced to death for-the murder of yric . e , though found guilty , as the objection Mr . Knowles took to the form of the ' indictment would have delayed his execution till after the next term , but for shooting at and wounding Barnaby Windsor . Aug 3 About ten o ' clockJeremiah AbershawJohn Littleand Sarah

. . , , , King , were brought out of the New Gaol , Borough , and conducted in a cart tq the place of execution ( Kennington Common ) , where they were hanged pursuant to their sentence . An immense crowd of people attended on the occasion . Little and King behaved very penitently , but the conduct of Abershaw exactly corresponded with his behaviour before and after trial . From the prison to the fatal tree he appeared perfectly unconcerned , carrying a flower in his mouth , and laughing and speaking to every person he knew on the road , while his fel-i low-sufferers were loyed in contemplating a book each held in their hands .

emp When the cart stopped under the gallows , he threw away among the crowd a prayer-book which was offered him , as also his hat and handkerchief , saying he should have no farther use for them : he refused to join in prayer , though the clergyman who attended them took infinite pains to persuade him to a sense of his situation ; and after throwing his shoes among the crowd , and uttering a dreadful curse against his prosecutors , he was launched ( or rather launched himself ) into eternity , with the exclamation of , "Here goes it I" He seemed to struggle much in dying . —The bodies of Little and King were given for

dissection , and Abershaw was hung in chains on Putney Common . Sept . 3 . James Newland , an auctioneer at a standing auction , near Temple Bar , was for . the third time brought before Wm . Addington , Esq . at the Public Office , Bow Street , on a charge of fraudulently obtaining money from a person who bought goods at his auction . Andrew O'Connor stated , that yesterday morning he-went into the prisoner ' s shop , who was selling goods by auction , and purchased a case containing four

dozen plated-handled knives and forks ; that afterwards a case of silver handled , knives apd forks , which appeared to be second-hand , were put up , and which to induce r-im to purchase , the prisoner said he would take the others back , and allow him the full money he had given for them , to go in part for the silver ones , and which ' were knocked down to him at eight guineas , for which he paid that sum ; but on examining those " sent home , he discovered they were not the same , being new ones , and not near so heavy . The prisoner insisted they were thesame as purchased ; but the magistrate

giving credit to the oath of Mr . O'Conner , informed the prisoner he must find bail , or stand committed . He accordingly found bail for his appearance at the next session , to answer this charge of misdemeanor . The fpllowing providential escape lately occurred at Cambridge : —As three children ' of Mr . Hodsbn ., printer , were leaning out of an upper chamber window , at the ba ' ck of his house , looking after a jackdaw which had fled from its cage into the gardens , the frame suddenly gave vyay , and the children were thrown out , but fortunately lighting oil some gooseberry bushes , were taken up without having sustained the least injury , a few scratches excepted .

Xellow Fever . —As many of our brave countrymen will probably soon go to the West Indies , we are induced to give the following hints relative to the preservation of health , from a physician of the first eminence , who for many ygars practised in that country ! Avoid fruits , particularly pineapples . Guard against tiie dews , which are very heavy half an hour before and after sunset . If a little ill , take ah emetic of ipecacuanha ; and after its operation , a dose of Glauber or Rochelle salts , then take bark in tolerable , quantities . We would recommend to those who are going there , to take with them a quantity of ipecacuanha , bark , salts , and James's powder ; but the latter we would not have iised without the advice ol" a physician .
