Every eminence which commanded a. view ofthegnllowp, was ctowrfed with men, womenand children. Every window, from which the Bpeetacleof a human being the panga of death could be sem, was fiüéd w'Uh eager and anxioiis faces. Men led their sons tip, almost to the foot of the gnilows.

A half dozen of rockets, after having been ignited, look a ho-izontal direct ion, and went ploughing thro' the crowd, like so nmny firery messengers of death. One, passing by the heads of a pair of' borses, atlached to a carriage, frightened them, and they ran at full speed direclly through the dense assemblage. Another of the rockets struck a negro woman upon the brenst, penetrating jnst below the shouldet hinde, and cansing her deatli, which took plac the ensuing day.
