Blake , with whom she had been previously _cohabiting , wag on Saturday last finally examined before Mr Tyrwhitt , the _sittinz magistrate , at the Clerkenwell _Poliee Court . The wretched woman , when brouehfc into the court , walked boldly into the dock , and having coolly surveyed the numerous atisemblago in the crowded court , seated herself in the seat provided for'her . ... '_ . " . ' ' .

      - The first witness called was Robert -Henry Blake , the father of the murdered children , who repeated ' the evider . cn he _gavent the openineoftbe _inquest oh Sa turday , the _1-jfc instant . —MrTyrwhittt , at . the conclusion of the evidence , asked the prisoner if she wished to put any questions to tho witness . —The prisoner firmly said , * I want to ask him whether he is mire that it was lead tied up in th « comer of my handkerchief , as he has stated , when I was _following him about as he has dcBcribed . ' —Blake—I am not , but I believe that it wa « . —Prisoner—It . was not ; it was a square piece of tile . That is all I have to ask . Jane Jone ? , 8 _pentecl looking youne- woman , _abiut trrenfy years of net , wa _« the next witness examined . She repeated the evidence _f he gave at tho inquest on Monday . last . —The prisoner declined putting any question to that , witness .

      John Hewlett was the third _witnens . __ He also repeited the evidence he had given at the inquest . The witnesses having signed their _depositions , , Mr Tyrwhitt addressed the prisoner and informed her that she was at liberty to make any statement she pleased , but it was at the same time his duty to tell her that whatever she _mjjihit think proper to > ay would be taken down in writing , nnd in' all probability used against her at hor trial . Tho prisoner then rose from her feat , and in ft firm voice said , ' I merely wish to-state why I followed Blake . lie came home at a quarter , before fire in the afternoon of th

      got to meet a cirl at the tou of Old-street . I am going to take her to the play . ' I then said , ' If that ' s the case , you may eo to ber to make vonr tea , for I won ' t ; ' after which he _washed himself nnd went out ; and I followed him to the Duke of Bedf ord , where he said he had to bs at the slump or post at fifteen minutes after five . I said I would follow and see his party , and ho said , * Then come , she will not bo ashamed of lookinc at you . ' and th » _-n we went away , me and him and Hewlett to _thc-posr , where Blakesaid , 'This .. gt _' tim ' n ~ knWs me , and I'll lviss . it- vQr-t-1 _'iSSftkeof them I ' m coins to see ; ' nnd he did kiss it , and he _looludat Hewlett / and laue ' . cd , and said ( _pointinc tome ) , ' what do you think of her ? She iu jealous . ' Hewlett laughed , and made

      some remark , and hoped we should be comfortable . We had previously been in a liquor vault and had some gin . Well , from the stump we came down Gos . well-street , when Blake said , * Hewlett ( _alludintr to me ) , I can cet her mo . ikey up at any time ; I ' m _poing ; to meet a little wench ' He _rrent down Fsu _& strpet , and luck 16 the Duke of _Bidfi-rd . and I lost _Biglii nf him up to to-day . ' The prisoner here _raided her voice , and pointing to Blake and Jones , said—1 Him and tint woman there has been the cause of a !! our misfortunes , and the death of the children _lits at their door . Ustil he became _aequainted with Iisr we had plenty , Out _durinjr the fortnight he knew her , me and the _children had nothing to cat but bread and _drinr-inij . That is all . '

      Mr Tyrwhitt then committed her to Newgate for trial , Previous to her departure , she said to _Waddington , the gaoler , she wished to be _hanppd , and hoped _ghe would not bo transported . Her firmness astonished every ene in court . The remains of the two children murdered by Harriet Parker were on Friday buried at St Luke's . The father had separated from his wife , and w « s living with Parker . They both , however , followed their children to the crave . Tho husband has received a letter from the Rev . Georce _Jepson , chaplain , _containing a confession of Harriet Parker , _respecting part of her former _conduct towards Blake ' s wife , from which the _fallowing ; is an extract : — Ilouscof _Detention , Jan . 7 . 1818 .

      Robert Blake—I am _requested by Harriet Parktr to write to jou , and express from her the regret she feel » _'at the course of life she has led in _conception with yourself during ihe last Arte year 6 . She wishes to y _. rttind you of a letter you receindjoon after your separation from your _wif-y insinuating , or stating , that she had been unfaithful , and that the child te which 6 he was about to gi « e birth was nit your own . Harriet Parker suites that she wrote the letter , for caused it to be written , ) in oroer _] to confirm tbe _fepnrstion f-f _yourself and _* ife ; that tho charge contained in it was false , and that she never knew anything affecting your wife's diameter . She now makes this statement as the only reparation Bho can make to your injured wife .

      Execution Of Thomas Sale. Thomas Sale, T...

      EXECUTION OF THOMAS SALE . Thomas Sale , the convicted murderer of the late Mr Bellchambers , was hung on the drop in front of Newgate on Monday morning last . Any nnxioty which may have been felt as to the fate of the wretched man . arising from bis continued protestations that he was innocent , have fortuuatcly been entirely dispelled , a full _confession of his participation in the . crime , and an admission that his was the hand which struck tbe blow , having been made bv the convict to the rev . ordinary of the gaol at a late hour on Sunday ereninr .

      At the conclusion of the religious services in the chapel , Sale appeared considerably _depressed . At ten o ' clock on Sunday night , at the convict ' s request , Mr Davis waB sent for . The reverend gentleman immediately attended , and in reply to _Sale ' s observation that he felt very wretched in his mind , nnd unable to approach his God , Mr Davis told bira that unless he spoke the _whele truth it was not possible that he could do so . The _assassin then at once fa ' tJ , 'M'Coy ' s _statement is true : I struck tbe blow . Lloyd knew 1 did so , but _M'C-y did not .

      The agreement was that M'Coy should rob the man , and that Lloyd and myself should rem * u with him . I struck the blow , but I did not mean to murder the man . ' After making tins _statement , the culprit appeared more collected , and , by his request , the rev . ordinary wrote for him a letter to the woman with whom he cohabited , and by whom he has had two children , as also a letter to his parents . The letters are as follow : — _Condemned Cell . N , wgate , ? 0 m _. to 11 p . m . January 9 th , 1818 .

      Dear Father and Mother , —ILping to find you at well as I am at present , _considering' my Kiihnppy situation , I write this letter to you . I hope my brother William and my sisters will be pood children towards jou aud comfort you . When my poor brother Henry has _got his liberty , * 1 hope ho will be dear to you . D _« ar mother , I hope you will protect my poor children . I could earnestly beg your prayers fur my wicked soul , if it were possible . Hart I taken your advice and my father ' * , I should not hare been here . I pray that the blessed _L-ird may receive my guilty e _« ul . I have sent jou a lock of my hair—a por . tion of it for my wife . Your unhappy but affectionate son Mrs Sale . Thomas Sale . F . S . —I wish my father to have my shirt and black handkerchief . Condemned Cell , Jfew _^ afe , January 9 ib , 1818 , 10 in . to 11 p . m .

      Dear Wife , —I send you these lust lines in the hope they will find you a * well as I am at present , _excepting the awful condition in which I am unhappily placed . Had I taken your advice , my dear girl , I should never have _bei-n here . It is no fault of yonr * , I have left you with two children on the wide world . I hope you will ( to home to your friends in Yorkshire . If you get manied . again , I hope you will marry a r « _ligio \» miui , _fliidnot nucha Mac ! _-guard m j have been . God bless you and my children ! Your unhappy but affectionate husband , TnoKAB Sale .

      The ordinary having concluded the above letters , Sale requested that one of his handcuffs mi ght be removed . Mr Davis , feeling satisfied that the wretched man was in a much more composed state of mind than he had hit herto been , recommended that the handcuffs should be taken off altogether which was accordingl y done . Shortl y afterwards the reverend ordinary having taken his departure Sa ' e threw hiniBclf on his couch , where he passed a ' _somewhat __ restless night , He _woko early on Mondav roormnf _, and conversed for some time with the two turnkejB in attendance .

      m The ordinary was with him at 6 _o'clock , and entered into tiie proper devotional exercises with the unhappv man . Sale , during an interval of cessation , requested aa a particular favour that he might be allowed an interview with M'Coy and as Mr Davis
