The body was not fountl till past ten o'clock, and as she went out soon after seven, it is probable that it might have been some time in the water.

After sentence of' death was passed, Nicholson was placfml in the condemned cell, which in the Maidstone gaol is under ground, and the approach to it is dark and dreary, down many steps. In this cell Mr. Boma had an interview with the prisoner, at half-past five on Monday morning. On his approaching the cell, he found Ni cholson on his knees at prayer. At about twelve o'clock the preparations for the removal of Ni cholson being nearly completed , Mr. Ronar, accompanied by his brother, and Mr. Bramston, the Catholic clergyman, had another interview with the nnfortanate man ; soon after which, the Wardle or sledge , which was in the shape of a SII3IIOVI box about six feet by three, was drawn up to the gaol door • at each end was a seat just capable of holding two persons. glichobon, doublekoned s was first placed in it, with Isis back to the horses ; he was allo pini oned with ropes, and round his shoulders was coiled the fatal cord. —by his side sat the executioner; opposite to the prisoner the Rev. Mr. Bramston took Isis scat, and by his side sat one of the Maid stone jailers with a loaded blunderbuss. The procession advanced at a very slow pace towards Pennenden-heath, distant from Maid stone neatly a• mile and an halt, on which was erected a tempo rary new drop, which had a platform raised about seven feet from the ground, and was large enough to contain about a dozen per. sons. A little before two o'eloek the hurdle-arrived, and stopped immediately antler the galtows, wisest Mr. Bramston and Nicholson knelt down on it, and remained for some time in prayer. Some time previous to this Mr. Bonne arrived on the gronad in a post chaise, and took his stand within twelve yards of the spot, with the front windows full on the gallows, and which he kept open dur ing the whole time ; but each of the side-windows was closed by blinds. So anxious was Mr. Bonn to get from the mdisrtunate wretch his very dying words, as to whether he is either motive or accomplice, that a person was deputed to avee.:d the platform atter the cord was round the prisoner's neck, and to ask him the follow ing quest ions, : Q. " Now that you have not many moments to live, is all that you have stated, namely. that you had no motive that you can tell ot, nor hat you any accomplice, true i"—A. ," All that I have stated is true." _ . " Then there is no creature liviug on earth who had any thing to do with the murder but yourself ?"—," No,. no one." " Yon had no accomplices?"—" None." " Had you any antipathy to either your master or mistress be . fore you committed the horrid murder ?" damping his hands to gether as well as his heavy irons would permit him, "As Clod is in Heaven it was a momentary thought, as I have tepeatedly declare& belbre." The above were his last words : in a few minutes after they were uttered, the bottom of the platform, was let fall, and Nicholson. was laineched into eternity. He died unusually hard, being greatly conynked. After hanging an hour,- the body was put into a post-chaise, which drove off in the direction for Bromley. Nicholson ascended the gallows by a ladder,' with a firm step,. and remaine l / 4 1 unshaken to the last moment of his existence. He was ii:ked repeatedly during the morning of Monday bow he felt himself ; and his answers were, that he had never telt himself so conifortahle since the commission of the crime: That he died with a full pursnasion that he had made his peace with God Almighty, there eatmot be a doubt : he assured all who spoke to him of his hope of salvation, and said, so firmly was his mind made up, and so satis fi ed was he to die, that if a free pardon were to be laid dawn to him, he would much rather die than accept of it. The number of persons assembled to witness the execution was immense. AUGUST the muuner iiis nutted.
