A H'rifel Scan In I.gudon-Kxecutto Of Tw Unrdtrri- Desperate Strug; Rlrr Llf on th Scaffold The Hob at the Old Bailey. Vons tfte London papers of the 16th. Londou has witnessed two executions to-day, enc at Newgate, tbe other at Ilorseraoiicer Lane Jail. At tbe former place, at 8 o'clock, JoUn Wieelus suffered the extreme penalty of the law for the murder of Acmes Oskes, a woman with whom he had cohabited for a few months at his parents' residence at Limehouse. On the morn ing of the murder the convict ran out into the street with his throat cut, declaring that his victim bad done it and then killed herself. The crime of Bordiec resembled that of Wig Kim only In the fact that be, too, slew the woman with whom be cohabited. He, however, had lived on good term with her for many years. yioWncss reduced him to poverty and to a low s-tate of mind, in which be lormed tbe resolu tion ol murdeiing all bis tamily, and then com "luluing suicide. Hut after cutting his wife's throat he wentvio further. Ho trave himself np to Justice, admitted bis crime, and wished for Ldeatb. On Friday be was visited by tbe sister 'and niece of the deceased woman, with whom were his three children. The youngest was car ried in tbe rms of tbe eldest, a elrl about eleven years of age; and all were dressed in deep mourniDg. The Interview lnsted about twenty minutes, nd wa9 of an extremely affecting suture. The f&eriffs arrived at 8 oVIock. Having assumed their robes, tbey waited the presence of Mr, Jonas, the Governor of Newgate, who shortly afterwards appeared, and Informed them that it was time for them to see tbe prisoner pinioned. Accompanied by the representatives of tbe press, tbey proceeded through the pas sages of the prison leading to tbe yard, across which the convict had to paBS from his cell tor tbe pinloning-room. Directly afterwards the condemned man, Wiggins, was conducted thither by two wnrders. He took very little notice of the officials, and walked across the open space With a jaunty air and light step. Calcraft was waiting for him in the plnionUig-roora, and im mediately the prisoner was broucht in he fastened bis arms. Wipgins submitted to this without any -attempt at resistance. While tbe executioner wtis buckling tbe straps, he complained onoe or twice that the belt hurt bloi, and exclaimed, "Oh! don't." Judging by bis subsequent con duct, this was probably a mere excuse to get his , -hands more at liberty. Calcraft said, "Very well; very well," and fastened tbe straps In the usual manner. During the time this was pro ceeding, the chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Jones, placed himself in front of tbe prisoner, and called upon him to repent, repeating texts of Scripture re specting the graciousncss of God towards the penitent. The prisoner, who was evidently pay ing little attention to his exhortations, replied once or twice, "Yes; very well very well." When his arms were pinioned, Mr. Jonas, the Governor, advanced towards him and asked whether he wished to say anything. Wiggins said that be wanted to say a few words, and that he should like to do so on tbe scaffold. Mr. Jonas told him that this could not be permitted; that even if it were alio wed, it would tie useless, us the crowd could not hear him; but that be might say anything he wished then. We further informed htm that there were re porters of the press present, who would publish any statement be might make. He warned him, however, that the time was brief, and that what he had to say must be short. The prisoner, ad dressing the reporters, said: "I am an entirely innocent man of tbe charge for which the law condemned me. I can assure you, on my dying oath, that I am not guilty. 1 never did It. I can go with a clear conscience and a clean heart ' to my Almi?bty Maker. It was her who cut my tlroat, and then cut her own. I never lifted hand or finger to her. On my dying oath, that is true." A procession whs then marshalled, and proceeded through oue or two short pas sages to the scaffold. The prisoner walked with a firm step, and mounted the platlorm with srreat determination. As he went up the steps be looked at the top of the beam, and observed where the ring was through which the rope passes. Calcraft, who was close beside him, at once placed the rope over his neck, and then drew the cap over his face. While he was turn ing it np just over his mouth, the canvict com menced a desperate struggle to free himself from his grasp. . When tbe executioner put tbe rope round his neck, the other end fell in front of Wiggins, and within reach of bis hands. He clutched this with desperate energy, and the hangman found it difficult to wrench it from his gripe. Wiegins was only five feet three inches high, and not more than about eight stone in weight, but he possess-ed considerable muscle, and It re quired great force to tear tbe rope from him. When he mounted the drop there was a warder by his side, and Mr. Jouas was standing bv the steps. The instant the struggle begau the chaplain left his side, and several of the officers sprang up the steps and seized him. They forced the rope out of tbe culprit's hand, and placed blm under the beam. Having lost the rope, Wiggins tried to bend himself double, and endeavored to get off the drop to the sta tionary part of the platform. He kept shouting out, "I am innocent I 1 am Innocent I Don't choke me. Cut off my head. Don't choke me. Ohl oht I never did it; I am innocent to the last." The united strength of half-a-dozen deter mined warders kept him sufficiently quiet for Calcraft to lasten nis legs ana complete his arrangements. This dreadful scene las'ed but a very short time, as neither the executioner nor the warders were disconcerted by his violent conduct. The instant tbe rope was fastened to tbe beam. (Jalcratt descended the ladder, while tbe officers, standing from off the drop itself, ormiy neid tne condemned roan upon it. in an instant after ne ren, ana aeatn was almost inhtantsneous. Mr. Jonas, the Gov ernor, thought that the prisoner might make some attempt at resistance, and had taken pre cautions which soon rendered useless the efforts tf the prisoner to free himself. Alter hanging the usual time the body was cut down. Last night tbe unhappy man slept compara tively well. He roe early, and was attended by the chaplain. He ate a good breakfast, aud conducted himself with much spirit. No satis factory remarks can be mado respecting his frame of mind. The mob which crowded the Old Bailey and it approaches behaved on the whole better than such crowds usually do. There was some hoot ing and groaning when the Btrupgle took place. " netner ibis was a demoustration against a sup posed want of "manliness" tbe term in favor With the mnh-np rt- aruiaa nrafl nnf. VPrff P.lpflr. When the struggle had ceased, the crowd dU- rvircu quieuy, Bordier was executed at 10 o'clock, in the presence of a large crowd, many of whom had wiintBsea he revolting scene at the Old Bailey.

A Wabbincrton despatch savs the Government has received Information that the President of Mexico win declare an treaties enisling Detween that country end the European powers engaged m, or indirectly lavoring, tee pretensions or Maximilian, abrogated, and no longer Dinding upon the people of Mexico; as, under the stipu lations of some of these treaties, the revenues of Mexico were pledged for tbe payment of claims to a large amount. It is apprehended here that the abrogation of these treaties will Involve another war, and it Is urged that the United States should at once enter into negotia tions with Juarez to secure a renewal of the treaty of 1859, and assume a quasi protectorate, to tbe extent at least oi au American interests in that country. It is rumored that a distin guished ex-Minitter will soon be sent out as special Commissioner to Mexico to look alter our interests in mis respect. The Delaware Railroad Accident. Further details confirm the general correct ness of the statement we published on Saturday of the terrible accident on the Junction and Breakwater Itoad, on Friday evening. It is said the train was running very rapidly at the time of the accident. The reason tbe rils fell was that the fiont stancheon holding the rails E"e.way- . .

Mr. Frank Dowline, editor of Be'.Va Lift n London, died on tbe 10th of this mouth, In the forty-Iourth year of his age. Mr. Bell's father, Mr. George Vincent Dowling. was the founder of the paper, and nearly all his family have been connected with the profession of journal ism. As editor of VeWa Life he had much to do with tbe Sayres and Heenan tight, aud it was by his advice, after the disturbance at Farnbo rough, that the fight terminated in a draw, and both men received a champion belt. As a jour nalist, he was always most impartial in his porting decisions. SECOND EDITION EUROPE. Important Advices by Cable and Steamer. THE ITALO-UOMAN XV Alt. He, BtcM KteM Etc., Ktc, Kte. ROME. Pontifical Pastoral to the Catholic Bishops Conflict Between the Garl. baldlane and Papal Police Fifteen Revolutionists Killed. Bomb, Oct. 26. The Pope, in a letter to the Roman Catholic binhops throughout the world, says that the patrimony of the Church has beeu assailed by revolutionists, and asks them to order prayers in all the churches lor the Holy fcee. The police on Friday, in searching a house, met with resistance. They attacked the house with bayonets, killed fifteen Garlb.tldians, and took thirty-six prisoners. A quantity of arms and bombs was also captured. THE WAR FOR ROME. The Pope's Plea to the Monarch Paper Defense of the Holy Father. Florence, Oct. 15. The Unila Cattotica, the chlet otgan of the ultramoutante party in Italy, states that tbe Holy See is about to announce, ofllcially and diplomatically, to the European powers, the following tacts: 1. That while all the provluces of the State are enjoyiDg the most perfect peace aud tran quility, armed bands, proceediug from the fron tier of the territory occupied by the Florence Government, have entered these provinces to excite discord and lebellion against the legiti mate Government, and to commit acts of crimi nal brigandage. 2. That the inhabitants of the districts sud denly Invaded by these binds, instead of re sponding to such excitations and adhering to the revolt introduced among them, have re mained loyal to the Holy Father, manifesting their abhorrence of such felonious acts. 3. That the bands have been formed in Tus cany and the provinces usurped from the Holy See, and that In broad day, under the eyes of the Italian governmental authorities, who have granted passports, although it was notorious that these travellers intended to invade the Pontifical States. 4. That the Italian troops have given free passage to many of these bands who have in vaded the Pontifical territory from various points of the Tuscan and Orvietan frontier. 6. That these same troops have received the bands of invaders wben, beaten, aud dispersed by the Pontifical forces, they have recrossed tbe frontier. k "On these gTounds," concludes the Vhiia Cattotica, "the Government of the Holy See will declare Itself to be the victim of a fresh attempt on the part of the Flotence Government, which, notwithstanding tbe September Convention, has permitted an Invasion, of the territory which it solemnly undertook to guard." GARIBALDI'S ESCAPE. The Flight from Caprera Reception of the General on Board the Hall Steamer. Florence, Oct. 12. Within the last three days tbe Miforma aud other democratic papers have published somewhat exaggerated accouats of the circumstances attending the prevention of Garibaldi's attempt to reach the mainland on the 2d instant. These journals stated that ths commander ot the Italian war vessel Hesia fired, two shots upon the boat which was con veying Garibaldi to the mail steamer bound for Leghorn, and these shots were followed by a volley ot musketry Irom the 8esla. Garibaldi, it was also added, asked the commander of the Hesia if the filing bad been directed aigaindt him, and was answered in the affirmative. The ministerial Gazelta di Firente ot to-day gives the following as an authentic version of this affair:-About 6 P. M. (and not in the morning) on the 2d instant, the commander of tbe Sesia observed a boat, which appeared to have left the Island of Caprera, and appeared to be making for Maddalcna, through tbe strait of Boccbe di Bonifacio. Tbe be sis imme diately procceJed in this direction, but coald not come np with tbe boat on account of the numerous reefs in tbe strait. The commander therefore ordered two blank Bhots to be tired, and subsequently several musket shots, blank cartridges, in order to obtain attention from the boat, this procedure not only being justified by the naval . regulations, but a duty incumbent upon the commanders of vessels. As the boat did not obey the signal, and would shortly have got out of sight among the rocks the commander of the 8eola fired a ball in such a direction as to strike the sea at a considerable distance from the boat, solely with the object of compelling obedience to his signals. The boat was found to be the large launch of Gene ral Garibaldi, who was himself on board, ac companied by a few other persons. His tra velling trunks were also in the boat. To the General's question whether these shots were intended to call him back, the commander could only reply in the affirmative. We are informed that the commander treated the illustrious General with every consideration. Upon asking if he was under arrest, the com mander replied that he did not arrest him, but that he must prevent him from leaving Caprera. He begged him, therefore, to consider himself as bis passeneer, and placed the ScbIb entirely at his disposal. FRENCII INTERVENTION. Opinion of tbe Italian Press. Florence, Oct. 16. The Provincial journals concur in censuring the language of the French journals La France and La Patrie. The Opinione, of Florence, again urges the Government to take measures to prevent any intervention. The Fer8tveranza insists upon the immediate occupation of the Pouutical Stales by the Italian troop?, declaring that every delay is dangerous to the monarchy and to the institutions of the conutry. Tbe entire Italian press is nnanimous in call ing for the occupation of the Papal territory. It is stated that owing to the persoual Inter position of the King, a reconciliation has beeu effected between Signor Hatazzt and the Marquis Pecoli and General Cialdlnl. Ills Majesty brought these gentlemen together lor tnis purpose at the Pittl Palace, aud had the satisfaction of seeing his good ellices attended with complete success. THE MANIFESTOES.

THK HUMAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. Borne, Oct. 8, 1S67. Garibaldi to the Romans. The Italian papers publish tbe following pro clamation which Garioaldi has addressed to the ltomans: Not withstanding timid counsels and Insolent threats, von have spoulaueously cut short delay, and while I write the heroic cry of your deliverance echoes from tbe forests of the Hnblna to the heights or the Uianlcolo. You are accomplishing- with just Impatience your duty: Italy, I am convinced, will fulfil hers, between Rome and me there has long been a solemn compact, and at all cost I will main tain my promise and will be with you.

The Florence Central Committee, established In aid of the Roman lnsurrectiou, have Issued the following address: Italians ! You have responded and will continue to respond to our appeal, which was none other than a cry from the soul, revealing a duty. The leeling which animated us ws shared by all For us sons and soldiers of the people, members of a Parliament which has declared Home to be the cupttal of Italy, conscious that that vote expressed the will of the cation, the Invitation was simple, as it should be. Fighting and death were going ou; tv.ebep' ember con vention was already broken In blood; the time for argument waa atan end What, then, remained? To aid those who are burying the temporal power of the Popes so that It may no longer taint the air. Now we declare that the die oust by the Insurgents bas been taken up iby Italy, and Italy, under pain ot death, must speedily fulfil t lie duty enjoined uoon her by so many centuries of misfortune by all ber think ers, by ail her martyrs. In order that tbe pleblscltntn may not be a vain thing, that the reasons and pretexts for squandering may cease, that administrative anar chy may perish, that reaction may be driven from Its haunt and that conscience may again be held sacred to tbe world. Italians, to Rome I What money what blood will ever bear more fruitful result than this! Bbow that the cry of Garibaldi la the voice of the national conscience. lie Is a prisoner la bis Island a fault and a misfortune but bis soul la everywhere. It now calls tbe Romans to assemble In tbeir pluazoa and Invites Italy to reach the Capitol. Victory lies In clearly defining the object of the bat tle, and we desire that the Pope may remain Pope for those who believe In him. Rapidity of action Is also necessary. And will not Italy apeeillly lurnlsta every means? Men who know how to die abound among us. But that is not autllclent; material resources are required In order tbat there may not be a vain heca tomb of so many precious lives, thut the love of country may not be punished by hunger and abandon ment, and that the sick aud wounded may be pro perly tended.

The contested eiectloo caie came np this morning. Judge Pierce having to attend to Jury trials In the Court of Quarter Hesslons, tbe other Judges, counsel, and spectators tnen repaired to the court room at the corner ol blxtband Chesnut streets, to hear the argu ment why certain specifications should not bestrlckon out. The following were the grounds urged upon the f art of the respondents, to strike out thespeclQca lons from to 14. I. Because said specifications assnme that this Court Is authorised to deprive the qualified electors in the said divisions of tbelr right to have their votes counted In the general return, because of the miscon duct of the olllcers In said divisions, which aald mis conduct Is not alleged to have been procured or pro moted by said electors. II. Because said specifications are vague and Indefi nite In this tbat It cannot be ascertained therefrom what number (if any) of Illegal votes were oast In said divisions, and tor whom. III. Because said speculations, In alleging Illegal votes to have been cast In aald division, do nut specify In wbat respect tbey were Illegal, so that tbe same ean be accurately Inquired Into, but can only be sus tained by such evidence as would be equivalent to holding an election by this (leurt. IV. Because said specifications do not set forth tbe names ot tbe persons by w bom said illegal votes were cant, ror the number thereof. V. Because the Jurisdiction of this court, under the act cf July 2d, IH3H, npt n complaints. Is confined to an Inquiry .''upon the merits thereof," and that the?e sped li. atlons do not allege t at tbe return made by said office- s were untiue In point o fact, nor that their alleged misconduct changed the result. VI. Because an Inquiry, upon the complaint of an nndue election and false return, must he confined to the ascertainment of tbe person who had a majority ol the legal votes polled lor aald olllce, and that no poll can be excluded from a general return, unless It be aliened that no legal votes were cast thereat, which these specifications do not do.

Tbe New York Herald this morning says: "Money was in abundant supply to stock houses at 67 per cent., and the amount offer ing on Government securities at the lower rate was more than fully equal to the demani. Notwithstanding the increased ease, however, tbe barjks are very cautious in granting dis counts; but what little they take passes at seven per cent., while outside the rate is still 13 per cent, higher for the beat grade of names. "The statement of tbe associated banks for the week ending on the 26th instaut, shows an increase of $2,036,111 in legal-tender notes, and a decrease in each of the other items, viz.: In loans, $743,193; in specie, $115,846: in circula tion, $!)8,370; and in net deposits, $374,247. These figures reflect an easier condition of monetary affairs, and afford some hope of relief from tbe stringency which has prevailed for the last two months in the discount line."
