This unformnate man, now conlined.in the jail of this place, under sentence of death, for the murder of Mr. Suydam in in December last, will expiate the horrid crime for which he has been doomed to die, on Friday next, the 16th instant. Of this individual much has been said and written since his arrest, but particularly during the progress of his trial, .which, it true, portrays ofte of the most callous and unfeeling hearts imaginable. Con versations hove been detailed in which his remarks have ethibited the most mark ed perversion of the human mind, and e• winced an entire disregard of his own aw- ftd condition, Now far these stories may accord with truth, I cannot certainly de• termine ; but whether they are all well founded or nut, 1 have seen enough of the man to satisly ice that lie possesses - many most singular and.deplorable characteris tics. It is true that during his trial, when all the particutars of the blood} , deed were detailed, he never (palled, and that on inure than one occasion he laughed, and generally throughout the whole trial man ifested the most cool and heartless intlif fames to the scene immediately involv ing the issue of life and death to him. Robinson is an ignorant man, devoid of any mental . cultivation, whose feelin , 2;s and passions are easily wrought upon and burst tiTrth without any restraint in the most foolish and wicked declarations and acts. Since his sentence his conduct has not materially changed, although on one or two occasions he expressed a i t,— sire to see religious persons. Os one of their visits he seemed in a measure sub dued, and after being strongly and ur gently exhorted "not to die with a lie rest mg upon his soul, but. to confess his crimes and seek forgiveness of God,' he mani fested a desire to disclose to the jailer, Mr. Cowenhowen, all the facts and en. • cumstances attending the death ot• Mr. Suydam. He subseriently made a con cession to NV. C., is the presence of two or three citiv.en , , one of them a* Clergy,- man—none of the details of which have been Made public. Several contradictory stories have been put in circulation, as parts of his confession, but I feel assured' that nothing as given by him in his state• ment bas transpired. One day last week he allowed a Patterson, an artist of this plate, to exe cute his likeness in miniature, during. Which time ho sat with the utmost cont. posure, and when it was finished express ed his satisfaction at its striking resem titmice to him. tt is said to be a perfect delineation of the features ot this wretch ed man. His wile has visited him almost daily since his sentence, and although she does not openly - mrnirest her grief, it is appa rent that her mental agony and sorrow is of the most intense and burning charac• ter, anti preys heavily upon her system. Robinson has thus far indicated no fears of death, and on one occasion declared his preference for death to imprisonment. During his confinement he has been treat ad in the most feeling and humsne.man. ner by all the officers having hint in charge, and the jailer, Mr. Cuwenhowen, who resides with his family in thejail, has been unremitting in his attentions to him. fe,) 4 A.,4 • in consequence of the smallness of the yard attached to the jail, being altogether Inconvenient for the execution, that so lemn act will take place in front of the jail, immediately on the street, under cov er bowel er, so that-the law providing for executions in private will be strictly con. formed to. A strong fence will be erect ed, extending front the front of the jail to within ten or twelve feet of the Opposite side, which will be guarded, fin• which purpose the military have been ordered' out. Numerous personal and written ap plications have been made to the Sheriff for permission to witness the execution, but every one has been peremptorily rp , I•used. • There is very little excitement upon. the subject now, and it is believed there will be but little on Friday, the citizens being satisfied t'mt the laws have and will be faithfully executed, and justice to an outraged community fully obtained. Our citizens generally believe that Robitwon has been guilty of other murders—many of which, it is thought, when death stares him in the lace, he will confess to.. From the New York Ilernltl. PETER ROBINSON,-HIS APPROACH ING EXECUTION—HIS CONFESSIONS Nn w IlnuNswlCK, April 12. I have just left Peter Robinson's cell. his :;thee was with him, and cried bitter. ly. Peter said, "It's no use to show so much sorrow, father ; I don't deserve it; can't feel it ; and it's all thrown away on ine.'' After his lather left, he said', t'i , V hat an old fool my father makes of himself; he comes here and cries; he goes home and drinks; and if he had brought tne up properly I should'nt have been here now.' observed to him that he ought to show less levity, and be thinking of mote sort dus matters, if ever he meant to. He'laughed, and said, "Oh, vou know I've got four lays to live yet, and the par-' sons tell me that the thief on the cross didn't begin to repent till an hour before he died, andlet he wrnt.to heaven they say ;so I've got plenty of time. But old Judge llornblw,ver ought to have given too a little more time; I ought to have had a cituplo of months; however, I've settled all my worldly atrairs now ; I was a bit wor ried abut them tools ; but that's off my mind, and I shall be serious now, and pre pare for death." Here lie paused, and mused for a few moments, and then burst out alaughing.. " What arc you laughing at, Peter ? said I. "Why, sir," he replied lather sorrow- fully, "[made up• my mind, to kill that man entirely for that $75 on that note, and nothing else. It was the first note I ever gave in my.lile, and I diclu't know how to in,et it, and I was worried to death about it, and I so resolved to get -it by killing hint. The fact is, I've been ;n kitchen ever since I• begun building that house.; I sunk all my money then that saved ; I knew I could. never get enough to finish it ; every body kept ing and selling my furniture for debts I owed 'em ; and at last 1 got the horrors. lint if I'd known that things were going to turn out so, I'd have phiyed the iogue on a big scale. Why I'd have laid a man dead at the corner of every street in New Brit n swi k." _ As he said this, his eyes flashed fire. I then said to him., "Peter, didn't yon tend to lay a trait for old Mr. Edmonds, and murder hint too, if possible?" - lie smiled bitterly, and hissed out be tween his hard set teetlf,. "It I'd known he was'guing to have me arrested, I'd have made him show his manual strength," and herehe burst out laughing, and rejoided, wouldn't mind selling my body to the doctors, only I shouldn't like my imy to know it. I wonder us hat they'd give for it. There isn't mach flesh on the bones. At this tnoment the jailer and one of he judges came into his cell ; they said a rew words to Peter, and as they wire Joth very bald, Peter laughingly said, "Judge, as yOu and ,Conover are both pretty bald, and I have a good head of hair, give you my scalp after next Fri . day ; you can divide it between you ; here's enotob for both." "Peter, said the Judge, "you • ought to have more anxiety about next Friday than you have." "Well;" said Peter, with provoking mingfroid, "I do think about it with a good deal of anxiety ; Pm to be hung that ..day, and it the Sheriff don't fix the rope right, I shall have more anxiety; 1 hope he won't tickle me with that rope ; he does, I shall be sure to laugh. I hope he'll grease the rope so that it'll come well down under my car, and then put a 56 udder my feet, and so pull my head off at one jerk. But it's a shame to coop me up and hang me in this little place, where nobody could see me, 1 expected, at least, to have 10,000 people to see me" hung !" I then asked him if he didn't f ee l s orry that be bad killed Mr. Suydam. "ONE COUNTRY, ONE CONSTITUTION, ONE DESTINY." A. W. 'BENEDICT PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR.

"Oh yes," satd he sharply, "but I didn't kill the pedlar. And though I might go and tell a whole lot of crimes that I never did, I aint going to make myself out a greater rogue than I am.

Here the jailer, who had gone out, egain returned. Peter cried out, "Here, Con over, this snow storm makes it dreary mid I • feel cold; pile on the coals,and make the stove lire red hot; I'm going to a warm place in the next world, and I want to get used to it." "Peter, Peter," said the jailer. . "Oh, well," said Peter,"l know I must put on a sober face, because we're going to have piayer meeting . here . presently, and they'll ask me if I've thoughtierious. lv about my latter end, and t shall say, Ulf, yes ; deeply deeply l" • Ii ere I left him, as a Quaker lady en tered the cell to pray with him, It is a little singular that the bunk on w hich , lie slept in his cell he made last April, being hired as•a carpenter to do the job. Otte prisoner hafililllCC hung himself on this bunk, in this cell,•tinil Peter Pus attempt' ed to do so, he has made three different ropes of his blankets, tore np and twisted hard, and hid them away; but the jailer has detected him and found them. He once hid the towel to make a rope of, and begs for a cravat or hand kercleief, but they allow him none, and have taken away Isis bunk, so that he sleeps oe the floor. He seems afraid to bang himself at night, and 'always hides Isis head under the blankets the whole night lung! New Iln'utostsveten, Amil 13. As 1 promised you yesterday, I here with send .you the conNssion of Petty' Robinson, who is to be hung on Friday next. On enth ring his cell thik reornine I found him lying on Isis face on his pallet, reading the Bible. After some' conversation on other subjects, I asked him what kind of curtains he had up . in the windows of the first floor at the time of the 'minter. 11e re flied in these wo-rds 1 ' had long curtains elf the sway down the front windows. But the reason we put lon long curtains in front was not because I thnuAht of murdering Suydam . , but be• l cause we were so bail off. You see, I had sunk .all my money in that house ; end for eves y little de`.4. that I owed of a few dol r ' l tars, people kept all the time a suing on me, anal seizing my furniture, until I had little or nothing left. And at last I was so worried aboutit, that it nearly drove me crazy. Every body who came by the house would stop.to look it it, and how it was going on ; and then they would be a gaping in to see what furniture we had; and Ilea.; asl:anull Co let them see Ere poor we were, and how bad A' we'd be come for furniture- , -Most all our things bei.ng sold—and so . I put up them long curtains to prevent their seeing, anal - for no °thee reasoe." As Peter said this a tear trembled in his eye, hut he relied and went on "Why, sir," said he, "I hail all the little money I'd made sunk in that little house; and I'd been a very hard workingman all my life"; and I felt that rather titan have that house taken away from me, a I ex pected it would be, I'd us soon lobe my life along with it." He then went on to tell - me the story of his past life, which /took down front his own lips in his own language, thus : Pe:eF Robinson's Life and confessions. • / was born in Chambers .street; New York, on the 25th of November, 1808. My parents were in limited circutnstan• ces, and neither of them had hut a very imperfect education, conserpottly I was not taught much by either of them. My father, who is still living, was any thin - but a steady man ; he used to drink too much liquor; lie did nut live with my mother, so there was no one to control me; and like most of the boys of New York I grew wild. and unmanageable ; not going but very little to school, and learning very little but mischief. When I got to be a bout 12 years of age my mother sent me away from home to live with Mr. Quinn, in Parcippany, on the Parcippany river, Morris county. Here I was to learn the chair making business. This was a very pretty place, but the situation was a very unpleasant one, as Mr. Quinn was a hard maSter. lie was a man of what I call very little moral character,.beeause he was often used to going on Sundays to the woods to get trees for his work; and he never went to church himself, nor yet sent me. As I understand that Mr. Quinn has charged me with burning his barn, I will' now state all the facts in relation to that circumstance. Mr. 'Quinn was in the habit of sending me before daylight in the morning to his barn to feed the horses, for them to be ready to go to the wuods. One morning I went out of the house with a lighted candle or lantern ter this pur pose, and when I went into the barn! took the candle out of the lantern and stuck it on the top of it. I was busy, then, cut ting either some hay or some straw for the • horses when Mr. Quinn came into the barn and instead . of saying anything concern- • ing how 1 had put the light, he attempted to clog roe. Now, I was a boy that never would submit to a blow from any' body, not even from my own parents. So we had a pretty sharp scuttle • and in the struggle the lantern and candle was knock ed over and the hay caught fire ; and in this way the barn was burnt without any fault of mine; fur though 1 was wild and obstinate obout them days I don't know . that 'felt any thing vicious about me ; though 1 have since. Well, I was taken up and examined the same day by the owner of the barn, and 1 Was acquitted entirely of that charge, in the presence of Mr. Quinn some six or nine inunths atter this, but, lie used me very badly indeed. 4 1e gave me no school ing, taught me nothing about his business, and so before the year was up I left him, with hardly any efothes to my back, and went back to my. mother's in New York. I remained with my mother about six months, and, as I didn't like to be idle, and she couldn't afford to keep me without doing something, I went to live with Mr. Barnes, a.cabinet maker, in the city of New York, to learn me the bust ! ness, 1 lived with Mr. Barnes about four years, but he failed entirely to learn me ' that part of the bu.iness which I had in tended to learn, so I lett him at the end of four years. the time that I lived with him, I used to run a goothleal with the tire en gines, and mix up with rowdy young men, till I learnt pretty much all about all kinds of wickedness among young men and young women that was agoing on in NewCVurk, but yet I'd never committed any crime against the laws, nor 1 warn't. half as bad as the rest of - my associates and companions. Ail this time I hadn't had any , schooling of any kind, and; though I had sometimes been at the Meth odist Churches of a night. yet though I went there More for a kind of frolic with ruing gifls.than anything else, and so that didn't do much good tiny how.. I've had a little to do with women too in my time, but I'll tell you more about that by and by. %Veil, whilst I was woking with Mr. Barnes, I used to hear the young fellows talk about going to sea and seeing other countries--Europe, And the West ladies, and Florida, where all time pirates used to be; and they described Florida as a beau• tiful place, and Fd just learned to read so as to,be able to read all the books about rates that I could come across; and so I a: a notion that l'd go to the South, to lorida, to the West Indies, or.soniewhere to sea, so that 1 might see a little of all kinds of likt, l'or. I was tired of what I had been doing. And I've wished that I had gone to sea am' learned , navigation, lot then I'd been sure to have turned pi rate, I'd been one of the bravest amongst brave men, and killed as many men as nay of them. Just about this time that I was turning all these things in my mind, 1 went down round the ducks in the East River in N. York, pr etty low spirited and not cueing touch wmit became of me, as I hadn't had anything that was of use to me to dv in New York, and I see a board put up on a very handsome built schooner, saying , that she was going to sail to a few days for East Flosida. I went on board and ask• ed the captain if he'd ship me as one of his crew.; he asked me what I could work at, and I told him. He then told me I should be of no use as a sailor, but as I was young and strong, and understood working on- tnnber a little, I might be shipped as a workman to go to Florida, and there be employed to cut clown live oak timber, for which I was to receive 816 a month and be found in our board and so on. Vel!, in Consequence of this oiler, shipped on board the schooner with some others, and sailed down the bay of New York around Sandy Hook, with a light heart and an empty purse, to try my for tune in Florida. 1 was about eighteen years old at the time. There was abut one hundred of us altogether that went out to Florida in that vessel; but when we got out there we mas used so badly, that 1 and two more left the party and went to a place called St. Augustine; here 1 made arrangements to work for a gentleman named George W. Woodruff; we went one hundred miles back into the country towards Fen sacolu, on to a plantation he had; hero 1 worked principally at making cotton gins; fur this,l received 4140 a month, and was found. I remained here from the time I left New York till the time I left Florida in all about nine months, I then took a vessel and went straight back to New Yolk, with rising about $2OO with me. After 1 got back to New York I went to see en old sweetheart that I had, a pretty young girl, named Margaret - who lived in Reade street, where her mo ther and my mother lived; and who used to make dresses for the theatre; she had played me a trick or two before I went off to Florida. We used to go regularly , to the Duane Methodist Church; but be cause I would join as a volunteer to en gine No. 23 that stood in Broadway nears the hospital, she refused to go out with me two or three Sundays and pretended, that she had to go to her aunt's, when all the time she was at home. In revenge I tried hard to seduce her for it, and meant to have left tier then; I come pretty near but I didn't quite succeed. But I did ,with one or two others though in New York that I'll tell you of by and by. . . Well, I staid in New York thin time only about three or four weeks; I carried on pretty extensively though round a mong the young girls, for 1 was always fond 'em, and the young men of my ac quaintance. I then left New York for good, as it were, and came'over to Piscat away where my brother-in-law had bought a house, and got me to help him to repair it. I did so, and worked for him about two weeks. And it was during this iwo weeks that I came to New Brunswick for the first time in my life; and I wish from my heart that I'd novel seen the place, for I have had hardly a happy day in it since it first come here, agd I've worked harder than any galley slave ever did in the world. And I hope you won't stay long in it, for if you do, and they should happen toga a mortgage on to you, you're gone ! (as he said that he burst out into a loud laugh.) It was about the year 1828, I think, when /first came over to see New Bruns-' wick, and /first went to the store of Mr. Vanderhoof, to buy some tools to work with. 1 was just leaving the :tore, when. I happened to see some looking-glass trainee; /told him that 1 understood ma king them kind of articles; he asked me my name and where I lived. Fie then gave me seine of that kind of work to do and I took it with me over to Piscataway. And this was the cause of my making up my niiud to stay for good in New Bruns wick. / worked on so for Mr. Vander hoof for about nine months, and then / moved over into New Bi onswick. Here / continued to work for some time for Mr. Vanderhoof, until at last I saw my wife Ann, who lived cook at the City tel, /fell in !dye with her, and we were, married in 1899. We began to have a • family soon aftewards, and I could turn my hand to petty much every thing in the way of carpentering ; and at last, About the year 1834, 1 commenced to work regularly gt carpenter work, and worked on at that down to the year 1839, 'when, unfortunately, /bought that lot of ground of Mr. Suydam, 30 feet, for $B5O But before 1 get into the history of that transaction, and the manlier in which / settled it by murdering Mr. Suydam, I must tell you two or three other little things which ,escaped my memory just now. /don't want you to suppose that / had no education, because I went to school fur • two quarters in New York, with Mr. Barnes' son; he agreed to send me to school when I was bound to him to learn the business. Mr. Barnes lived in Greenwich street, between Robinson and Barclay streets. I was bound to him till I was 21; but one of his sons was tyrans nical and domineered over me, and I couldn't get my money from him regular ly; so one Saturday night I went to. him and begged very hard for some money to buy clothes; at last /got about $l6 or $lB out of him, and he says, 'now, Peter you'll be sure to be here bright and earl) on Monday morning:' says 1, 'oh yes, /11 be sure and he here brightand early.' And that's the last that he saw of me for three or four v eeks. He went to my Mother's to get her to coax me back; but I wasn't a bay to be coaxed; no how they could fix it; far I went all.the time _pretty much on my own hook; and so I cleared out for Florida. . _ _ I don't think I should have ever left N York though if Margaret hadn't played a trick or two en inc.—and as I thought, kept company with another young fellow, at the same time that she was pretending a great deal of love for me. However, t always made up my mind never to be de• ceived twice by a girl or a man either; so off I set fur Florida. in Florida we hadn't no church to go to, or else 1 certain ly should have gnne; for before I left New York I'd got into a habit of going to the Methodist Church in Duane at., pretty much regularly +vice every Sunday; for as my mother lived in Heade at. it was Close by. So we wed to spend our Sun days by hunting deer, and game, gunning and fishing, and sometimes by catching moccasin snakes and rattlh snakes, which [WirotE No. 280 1 could catch as fast as any body. iVe used to have a good deal of sport of this • kind on a Sunday, and I was considered Amt . one of the very best marksmen there were about there. I should have stayed a good deal longer in Florida if / hadn't got into a scrape about a very hand some young Indian girl, whichlbur boss kind a wanted, but who /happened to get hold of. She took a fancy to me, and the consequence was, that she soon got into the family way; and Iliad to clear out, or have my brains cleared out, so chose to do the first, and left Florida for the first an.d last time. That's all the travels, I ever made of any consequence; and a woman was the cause of my leaving both places. I forgot to tell that 1 had two sisters, both older than me; one is dead, and the other disappeared some years ago; we be, lieved that she went to the south, and di ed there. None of us have ever heard anything of her from some years. There were three of us boys. /am the oldest and am 32 years of age; William is the next, he is about 26 or 27; and James is the next, he is about 22 years old. My lather was a tobacco spinner by trade, but didn't live with my mother for 18 years. My fatherwas a good deal given to drink in r, and didn't take no care of his family -Abut my mother was an uncommonly hard working, industrious woman; she used to take in washing and to go out to day's work. Both my parents were born in New York county; my father was born in the city, and my mother was born at Kingsbridge. I lived altogether nearly two years with Mr. Quinn, at Parcippany, and never learned any good of him the whole of the time that I was there. The reason, 1 thought, that made that son of Barnes' so domineering was, that he used to go out a good deal a frolicking at nights, spend or lose a good deal of mo ney; and then come home, and vent his spite upon the poor apprentices next mors ning; PETER'S CONDUCT ON TUESDAY. I s During the afternoon of this day, Pe• ter behaved most curiously. He first gave audience to the Rev. Mr, Pilch, of I Newark, prayed with him, and appeared i very penitent. Soon after,--arlinter came to take his portrait. He kept laughing - I while, the man was painting. "Why do you laugh, Peter?" said the painter. "Be. cause you look so much like old Chief Justice Hornblower with them spectacles Ion; and /stared him right out of counte nance when he delivered the sentence to Ime. Besides, 1 cannot help laughing when one rogue looks at another." After a pause, he said, "Oh, if 1 could only got a chance to speak the day that sentence was given, I'd a lumped right up on that table, and / wouldn't a got off of it for one hour, at least." When the painter told him that he had a curious mark and smile near his mouth, he said, "Oh,.yes, you know I've got an eye like a snake in the grass; and 1 can smile and murder all the while. But my father had dropped ' in . the room before me here, I must have had to laugh, to think how he let me go to ruin while he drinked, and now lie comes ' to rebuke me. Why, it's like Satan re -7 ;roving sin." Some clergymen went in to see him : this afternoon. ' and after he had told one ! of them how he had been doing . and how i he had telt, the parson told him that if , that was all, he would go to hell for all that. Peter became very indignant and exclaimed, "Then what am I to do? I've read that book (pointing to the Bible) I've tried to understand it as far as my hum ble abilities will let me; I believe what it says; I've confessed my crime; I've con fessed that I've done wrong; and I've prayed to God to forgive me for it; and I know nobody else can forgive me if ho does not; I've forgiven every body that ever did me wrong, as l hope to be forgiv en; I owe no body any ill will in the world —1 have no hard feeling against a human being; I know I must die on Friday next; I know that the sentence is just; I've suf fered too much poverty and misery . in this life to care very much about leaving it; 1 know not properly prepared to die, and I pray to God to prepare me be fore I die; 1 believe in the Bible and I be. neve in God; and I believe that he's more merciful than men are. And if after all this, t am to be sent t• hell, why I think it's very hard, and I should like to know what I am to do or what you want ate to do. At any rate I don't want any of your prayers. and I don't want you to come near me again. And if Heaven be such a place as the Bible tells me it ►s, why I'm very sure that you won't go there and that there'll be very few like you to be found in any part of it."
