Newcastle and Edinburg on the coast, by way of
Berwick. is now seriously entertained. A prospec
tus of the undertaking has just beep issued. From
it we collect that the rail-Way is to be called " The
Great North British Railway." The capital is to
be £2,000,000, in 40,000 shares of £.30 each, depots
it £2 per share. The provisional committees for
Edinburgh ■nd-New Castle are highly respectable
and infittential; Mr. George Stephenson, the cele
brated engineer, in his report as this undertaking
says :—" I may say that in the whole course of my
experience I never examined a country for a line of
railway, of the length this will be, where the works
to be executed were of an easier 'description, or the
levels and inelmations of a more favorable- charae--
ter." The committee themselves, who have spared
no pains tc ascertain the best line, say :—•• The re.
stilt of tins investigation, made by the promoters,
has been the adoption of the line now proposed ;
I and after mature consideration the committee are
satisfied that this is the duly one which can be
made between England and Scotland with a doe
regard to the interests of the great-mass of the 030.11-
muntty, and to that of the proprietors." They add:
—" the free revenue has been estimated. after de.
deducting 40 per cent for annual charges, at up
wards of L 215,000, thus affording a return of near

E
Faecutio* of 'William
lap, Jr. •
The execution cif William Dunlap Jr. who .was
convicted at the December term, for the murder of
his wife, took place within the walls °Elbe Jail of
thus county, on Friday the 29th oh in pursuance of
the warrant issued by the Governor to that effect, in
the presence of about 40'individuals.
At the request of Sheriff BIS "err, we were indu
ced to form one of the company, selected to witness
the execution of the law on this ill-fated man, and at
the appointed hour we repaired to the Jail, with our
companions, brooding upon the awful scene about
to be witnessed. On oar arrival at the prison, we
found the culprit amazingly composed and resigned
to his fate, in familiar conversation with the Minis
ters of the Gospel, whom he had requested to attend
on the occasion. He conversed freely with the
Sheriff about the mode of execution. ,and requested
him to be as expeditious as posstlale.' With the
greatest composure he disrobed hiniself, and exchan
ged his every-day garments for the habiliments of
death ! and then "with a firm step and determined
KIT,. accompanied the Shenffinto die yard.'. Upon '
arriving at pie foot of the scaffold; he made a alight
halt, to gather up his robe and then ascended with a
firm,-unbroken step. After taking his seat upon the
fatal spot, an appropriate hymn was given out by ihe-
Bev. J.'Bennetr.'iuid the prisoner •jnined to singing
with a -clear. distinct and natural. voire. Durirtg
prayer, which immediately folic:4qt by the Rev.
Lenharf, the Prisoner made an earnest and conhent
appeal to his :Glad for mercy and pardon! His voice . :
was strong ind 'coninianding, and ha •language flu
ent, appropriate and almost eloquent Upon re:mg'
to his feet he was informedediat if had any thing to
say. he now had an opportunity. With this he cast
his: eyes upon. /how beriemb bum, and with an un
faultering-voice delivered the following laconic speech
is taken down by us at the time.
"Well, gentlemen. I think I have found favor
with the Lord our God. You see me here—stand
ing on the brink of- - eternity, I am,going to try my
fate—l am reedy to meet death—lt is a. Just cause.
I shall leave you here to roam in this wide world
ask God and obtain has pardon while you can. The
crime which brought me here, the murder of my wife
was committed because I loved her and nothing else."
He then turned about and adjusted the rope
across the beam—widened the loop, and after set
ting down, drew the
,dip and , fastened the , rope a
bout his own neck His hands were then fastened, •
and the cap drawn.over his eyes by the Sheriff who
immediately descended and with a stroke- severed the
cord which truly m this case, separated time front •
eternity ! A slight struggle ensued—a few efforts
at respiration, and all *as over!! What an awful
spectacle to wane. A fellow creature bound by
the strong arm of law and dragged to the scaffold in
the spring : tide of youth tad healthfulness. To see
him bow to his fate and acknowledge it just— , call
upon his God for merry, and the next minute behold
swinging before you a lifeless body and a nameless
thing—his spirit gone to .TRY ITS r•TE... "
But we have no time to spend in speculation a
bout futurity. It is sufficient to say that the prison
er appeared sincerely penitent long before his exe
cution. That he never made an attempt to escape.
and that he maintained until the last minute. that it
was love not malice which induced him to murder
his wife:
In conclusion we deem it our duty to state, as an
act of Justice, that the condtfct of Sheriff B. v NIT,
on this tiling occasion, was worthy of all commen
dation. As an officer, he acquitted himself in the
best possible manner, and in conjunction with his
enterprising and efficient Deputy. John Scan, Esq.,
merits and must receive the approbation and thanks
of all who witnessed the late execution—Ly. Gaz.

and his anise) in hew Yo& en the 29d of April,
was hailed with a degree of patriotic enthusiasm
which has never been bqual cd since—and hilt once
approached. That approach was made on the land
ing of Lafayette in the summer of 1824. The Mar
shal who conducted thq pageant of the day yet set
etees--General Morgan Lewis.
The inauguration of the President did not take
place until the 30th of April. The Vice President'
John Adams, had been inducted into office a few
days before, without public ceremony. But the in
auguration of the great father of his Country, was
the occasion of an imposing pageant and solemn cer
emony. The oath of office was administred upon
the terrace in front of the ancient City Ball, at die
head of Broad street by Chancellor Livingston, dres
sed it • full- alit of black. Thearretary of the Sen
ate held the bible upon a rich cusaien of crimson eel

stretched with his hand with simplicity and dignity.
The oath was administered. 'The bible to s s raised.
and, his bead bowed upon it to kiss the sacred vol.
nine. The ChaneelLir proclaimed that it was d.
full distinct voice, and in the following words :

.of both houses of Congresaand a large con
course.of people, proceeded to Trinity Church ;
where, the-august ceremonies'ofthe day were closed
by solemn religious se : rakes, conducted by Bishop
Provost' Such is a bird's-eye glance at the events
of fifty years ago; and in view of the fact
augur:Aim' of the first President took place in this,
city, and that the wheal of the Governmeit were

society has very properly resolved to celebrate the
day on which the troveiting•wrrit was done, by ap

been appointed, with instructions to procure the de,

make such other arrangements as may be deemed
expedient. We hope that either John Quincy Ad

A SMALL hamlet rested upon the side of one of
the lofty mountaOts of the Julian Alps, which thence

peat amid the encircling clouds _of night.
Three . persons ail 'lingered astound the scanty fur

B,s they had. a wild and faufulikarative. The nar
rator. and the most remarkable of the three, was a
stranger, only just arrived in the. icinity after some
e a r s of forei gn travel. Want sad banish* moth
er lands had given him the appearance of an older
man-than - he really was, by usurping a few of tte
wniikles of Tune to trace tnem on his ttisage. The
tierce rays of a tropic sun had honored his complex
ion, and constant familiarity with danger had bes
towed upon him the reckless, undaunted air oft war
rior not unused to scenes of blood and strife. Yet
the soldier's manly frankness was wanting ; for, in
the quick, glaraing eye and erupts:wed lips, aught
be seen th workin,ga of a mud wattle ol devising
any thing s tle or villainous, allied to the resolu
tion for the executive cif any of his
schemes.

lamp 'w loch rested upon the table placed behind him

•Certainly not; replied he, with a wart of forced
soon:IPA. smile, as if by it he.wcaki discover a wand
of superior mould ; yet that were foolish, since dry
the atteniiik at a sneer, he did tworibetray the- paper
stitions weakness he strew, to conceal.
None of the horrible tales of his native laml seem
ed cape! leof receiving any credit is the stranger's
mind, for in tdesquick glance of recognition whiff
passed--unobserved by their companion ---between
the old host and himself, the anise of his conduct be
came evident, since some plot seemed hatching be
