•% God—they spoke to th mil of resignation ; they invited them to repent ; and showed shin the eternal Vt.:. ready to mem fir their receptiun. The criminals kept coos:allay pretosting their innocence. Bastide and Collard were dressed as they were at the trial— their heads were uncovei ed. Jausleu wore ddle.rent dress; beture issubig from his cell, be had takes, off his hose; mid on coming out, handed them to the gaoler, with a request trot they might be conveyed to his family. Arrived, at last at the place of execution, they betrayed at lits:,a movement of horror and affright at the sight of the dreadful apparatus of death. Jau-ion mounted first upon the scaffold, with a good deal of resignation: Collard was borne upon it in nearly a fainting state ; itastide followed . with firmness, and submitted to his fate without complainhig. Defoe submitting his head to the fatal stroke, Jausion in r eked Heaven and men—he said, that faith ought to be given to the asseverations of one who was on the point of death ; and that he died an innocent man. He appeared, at the same time, greatly agitated. The execution lasted only a few minutes ; an immense .erawd of spectators were witnesses of the awful scene. trot a cry escaped them: they respected humanity at the sight of thane who, by their crimes,-had violated it most. Anne Benoit was exposed on tile market-place at ten e'elock, and branded with the letters T. P. She wept bit- terly during the whole time, and kept constantly calling on the name of Collard. ELECTION FOR THE CITY OF LOYDON. The election of four persons to serve in the ensuing Par liament as representatives of the City of London, commenced •on Tuesday, and we believe a fuller attendance of liverymen has not been known on any former occasion. Sir W. Curtis was the fist who came forward to address She livery. He observed that the constitution had again placed is their hands the power of choosing their representatives, and they were now assembled for the purpose of executing that dotty. He once more stood before them as a candidate for their suffrages, and was ready to state to them nut only what he had dune, but what he inte n ded to do. He had already served In six Parliaments as a rerre:xiitative of this great city, and now, when lie came before his con ,atitnents to yak them to re-elect him, he could tell them that he had discharged his ditty hilly, fairly, anal fear• 1ng..1•• ii shonid be reehnsen, lie assitrcd them that he would pnrsne same course he had hitherto done. Alderman Ranter said, he intended to propose to them a gentleman, fro •I ii is character, truly worthy of their sufleages , anal, from his c umercial experience and connexions, in every way qa..dlied to r• resent for the city tho..e great interest. which formed the nisl.vaik of the nation. Thou elm that emi nent a.. did not h . mself bilone no the ina!iistraes, he as a• of a Cniiiy hi ha I totalised ronsidcraLle honours in 1111- city. He wa: not yet a member of the ccrporatieu ; but if the lively now bins for their representative, he would d nodose ; • on a failure occasion, to take upon him self the ilott.is of a Magistrate, if they ilenild consider hint wart., f that additional writ. He should detain them uu longer, but would move that 'Thom::, IVilson, Esq. be one of the ntati.es of this me). 81.1des seconded the motion. Mr. :alderman Atkins then came forward, but was received with marks of disapprobation, and what be said was very impertectly heard. Aiderimin Wood next presented himself, and was greet. a edtli tanisitlerable applause, mixed however aid. Sonic tokens of hostility. This partial disap..robation main. jested it-elf several times during; his short address, which he commenced by ooscrving, that he Ulf highly oluitied iu 4,ner more soliciting the suffrages of the electors. He had endea voured to discharge the II list IA ith w h ich they had Inn lore since honoured lian aoh diligence and integrity. He had devuted himself almost excev , ively to their .sirt•liet., HIM had never been abseil from his post in the House of Common.: for a Singir day. It eras fur teem to appreciate his exertions, and the salve which might beincg to thom. If they met with them approbation of the livery, they woald probably once more confide in him, and they might rest assured that his attention to their rights cod interests 4111011 ht not iv. relaxed. Mr. Alderman Birch next came forward amidst very gene ral approbation. He had been ihtliteed to otter -himself to their notice as a candidate for the hotfoor of becoming one of their representatives, from a recollection of their former confidence and kindness in iaising him to the highest offices they could bestow. it was not for hint tinder that roof to in form them is ho lie was, or on what grantids he rested his pre nsions. lie well knew the valet. of their time, and that it -would he improper to trifle with it at the prevent moment. — 'they would form their own estimate of his fitness for their servitm, and he should feel certain that their choice would be dictated by condone anal impartiality. Mr. Alderman Thorp came forward, and was rer civet: with applause. He had always venerated the constitution of our country as it had been established by our ancestors, and he Ind reprobated the encroachments that had beet, made upon it. A full and free re,..esentation of the people in Parlia ment he considered to be essential to the excellence o 1 the constitution. He fi.ohld therefore never cease in exer tions till such a reiarin could obtained as would restore representation to its ancient and constitutional purity. Mr. Alderman Gootlbeliere he came torfore them under great disadvantages, but he (rusted to their esual in. dulgence. He had heard a great deal said of the glorious constitution of our country. It vas for them to :,ntlge who had and Ns'' , bail not acted according to the svirit of the constitti. lion. Their object in coming to that Hall was to esereise the franchise which belonged to them as the lista y of London. They were aware of the importance of that duty. Irony of their representatives had been blameable ur reprehensible in their Parliamentary conduct, it was their glorious privilege this day, not indeed to remedy the evil that might have been dune. blot to prevent any fume injury front their hands, and to give their support to men who were incapable of betraying their interests. lie was proud to propose for their choice a friend congenial to their hearts, a man of known diligence, principle, energy, and talent, whose exertions on behalf of the livery they were all aware of. lie proposed Mr. Waith man. Mr. Fayed seconded the proposition. fie rejoiced in the opportunity of proposing Mr. Waldman to :tie brave, re• spectable, and free citizens of bontlJii ; and he hoped that their voice- that day, and their votes afterwards, would sup port the steady advocate of British liberty. Mr. Waldman now came torward, hot could not speak for sonic 011 the hod and repeated shouts that resounded tritium:li the lia I. lie feat it impossible t'• describe the sensations winch that reception had recalled to his • d. -Be hoped they would maim allowances for him; for whatever M THE NATIONAL REGISITETt might he hi. they knew !oni net destitute of colt 3 , 4 e iu mabitainieg their rights And Ii het lies, or in eon• tending against corruption. He would not now touch on the eund.tet of others. lie had done so on other oecasionr, when he hail been himself no candidate. Every liveryman had a rlglit to consider well the character of a candidate, am! it was his duty to exercise that tight. He had heard some of those geutlemen speak of their love and veneration of the constite. lion, and protest that they had uniformly defended the con. stitaiinn ; :vet (hiring the time they had been in Parliament, the Habeas Corpus Act, the great bulwark of the British Constltutimi, had been su.pended not lees than 7or 8 times. These gentlemen had always supported our glorious eonstitu• lion, and vet they had always eupported the Minister In sus pending the constitution. They had often .heard is boasted of, that the field of petitioning was free and unimpait ed.— The House of Commons bad, however, been crowded with petitions, complaining of grievous tujuriss, and raying for redress; yet a motion for inquiry into the truth of those pe.• titions had been refused. Would they again return those men to Parilament ? A great many elections had coins. under his observation, but he hail never known a candidate proposed before who had net been a liveryman. A chandler's shop could not be opened without a license ; the members of the Ceirmion Council had many laborious and compulsory datie to perform ; yet notwithstanding all this, they were unworthy of the hononr of representing them ; the livery had not, for xooth, talent enough a n ions themselves, they must be indebted for protection to others. But they would, he trusted, depend upon themselves, and not delegate their representation to those who now fur the first time same upon their hustings, and who 11.161 lately been bt,uting through the city for a quali fication. Were the Cerporation of London, second to none in the kingdom, to have their interests thus upheld ) He had only further to say, that a counteracting inillience had ever, and would now, be exerted against them. But the influence of public opinion was the only influence on which he de pended. To prevent undue ressure and intimidation, he hoped the livery would poll early. Mr. At'llson next addressed the livery. In consequence of the solicitations of a great number of respectable individuals, he had come forward to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of this great and ancient city. He hoped he should not be accused of iutrudiog, on the ground that he did not belong to the corporation. He was convinced that to be a member of that body was not an essential quulifieatiun, and that it' he should he found in other respects worthy of their choice, they would not reject him on that deficiency He was at present necesseitly little known townie that heard hint. All he could say was, that whatever public Bush be reposed in him, he would exert himself to the hest of his ability in performing the ditties which belonged to it. The show of hands now commenced. All the Aldermen wert,;terurding to the usual practice, put h• nomination first ; and on the name of Alderman Shaw being put up, there was great applause. '!'lie sow of bands for Sir William Curtis and Aidermaii Atkins was less than tor any of the oilier candi dates, and that for the !atter was very ineonstiteta ..e. At last the City Remembrancer, by older of the 47.'1..611'84re:hit ed that the choice of the Livery hail fawn' we Mr. *V.:nimble.

Mr. Hun: having bowed repeatedly to lite tiicods, took his station on that tart of the pasties adjoining Hemeeteestreet, and de. reeled his flag to be allixeti to one of the scaffolding poles opposite.

Mr. Stowell thou came forward and observed, that he Ind been informed shire he came on the hustings that he was to be the first risen who should have the honour of addressing the electors. It was not on his own aceount he came fore:toil. brit to support a gtontlemen whom he felt lit his duty to nonce nate, bemuse lie had long hews their representative. He otogged to congratulate them oat the time having arrived, when, in entempicnce of the gruelling condesecesicti of his Majesty's Ministers, they were about to enjoy the advantage of exercising their elective franchise. 'they had now the opportunity of electing their oepresentativeo, and it was their duty to send into I?ailiement men who possessed know. ied e r and talents, and were distinguished liar true constitu tional princilube.

At present, hue e r r e, ell that remained tor hint to do, was to propose the nomination of Sir Francis Bertiett to be again one of theoir representatives. Mr. Richardson, junior, cautteforwas . d to second this nomi nation. Mr. Peter Walker now stepped forward to propose Major Cartwright. Bespoke wile great vehemertre and gesticu lation.

Two fectiona had been lone eoaleadinte seeetelele. to Bisb ee t the liberties of else temple •of Westminster, and neer it eopemeel they bad united to effect that object.

It was true, Major Cartwright was infirm ; but he WOlll4, by his mode ies,set millions of people to work, whose petitions could Out be lung unattended to. Lord Henry Howard recommended Sir Samuel Routine , a the electors as astatesman who WWI an honinto to leis country amid human nature. He had Loren tried and never found %main! ; and nu man was better capable of performing the. ditties of a representative of the people, or mere ...Her . nailed to discharge them diligently anti faithfully. Mr. Wishart seconded the nomination of Mr Samuel na mely. He observed that the learned gentleman veho was now nominated deserved the we; m-st supeert of the electors, as be had always shown IllieSelf 111014 201X1011S to have joetk'e administered according to law. He was the first and best of men, the (musette advocate of the esters-at of humanity, and in electing him they emaid confer an homier on:them /wive', and show thet they pope/1y estimated the virtues of • the man of their choiee. Ms. Glossop proposed the Hon. D. Kinn:bird, a gentleman whose•constiebti tttt al plinciples were well known, as a proper person to he nominated on this occasion. Air.
