      GLASGOW . — Execution of Doolan aks Rkddisg . —On Friday , May Hih , pursuant to sentence , the extreme penaltj of the law was carried into execution upon Dennis Doolan and Patrick J tedding , for the murder of John Green , ganger on the Edinburgh Railway . The great interest excited by this melancholj affiir brought vast multitudes from a distance to Bee the unfortunate men expiate their offence near to the place where the murder was perpetrated . As early as five o ' clock on Friday , the people begaa to assemble in thousands in front of the gaol , and the numbers kept swelling until the prisonera were brought out . Judging from what was passing in front of the prison , no one would have thought there was going to be a public execution

      all appeared to beglee and merriment , and the writer of this actually heard jok « 9 passing , and sportive allusions made to the doom and approaching sufferings of two feliow-mortala about to be sent from this world to another . A little after seven o ' clock in the morning troops of dragoons , posses of police , and one or two small companies of foot soldiers and artillerymen , came to prevent any outbreak on the part of the overwhelming multitudes assembled . Several carriages vfere coming at this period ; one wa 3 a long black vehicle , with seats across for the uafortanate . prisoners , and Bishop Murdoch , and one or two ministers of the Catholic religion ; and a number of other carriages for the Sheriffs , magistrates , and executioner , all stood in front of the

      gaol . At eight o ' clock the prisoners came out of their cells , took their seats in the carriage without any assistance , and sat seemingly inoifferent to what was passing . Redding , on first coming out , was pale and agitated , but with an effort regained his- composure . The procession paving been formed , aad every thing got into a state of readiness , the assemblage be ^ an to more to the . place of execution , about four miles distant , * to the ' place called Crosshill . A ? tho mass of human - beings moved from the gaol up Highstrett lill it got out of town , the press was really awful ; the windows above and the streets below

      were swarming vrkh men , women , and children , all snxions to see the prisoners ; nor was the road much thinned till the procession he ^ an to approach the place of suffering . Redding , ail tho while , seemed to sit with his head bowed and ind . fferenc to everything passing ; Dcolan remained quite firm till he got b yond Bishops-bridge , and be ^ an to approach the place of execution—his whole frame shook , and he turned as pale as death . When within a m ;! e of the scaffold , several dragoons from Edinburgh , who had been guarding the place all night , now rvkie aud met the procession , fcoiug along with it to the place , formed a Jarge circle round the fatal scaffold . The place chosen for the gallows was a rising ground at a short distance from the Kirkintilloch road on tke

      nght , situate between theioad aud the bridge where Green lost his life . Ritfht below the scaffold , in the direction of Glasgow , was a regular declivity , from the base of which the instrument of death was ea ^ . ly seen ; beyond this , in the same direction , the road took u gradual rise , forming an amphitheatre , where thousands upon thousands saw the melanchoiy scene . Between nine and ten the prisoners arrived at the fcaffold , where wa 5 a temporary erection , in which the finisher oi ' the law pinioned the prisoners ; to this they yielded with the greatest firmness , and then took their stand uuder the fatal beam . Bishop Murdoch accompanied them to the drop , and prayed mo = t fervently for the upfortun&te men , and in thi 3 exercise thev engaged like mm on the threshold of

      another world . Their religious exercises having been gone through , the executioner began to do his duty , by putting a cap over Redding ' s face , which , hid * been provided for the occasion ; the unfortanate inau ' s shirt collar was 'hen put down , snd the fatal : noo ? e placed round hi 3 neck . Doolan ' s eye was ¦ stedfiitly fised npon his companion while the preparations were nuking . Just before . the cap was palled over Dylan ' s face—ihe following exprea-ions in prayer escaped his lips—and with 1 a strong voice . u 0 God , bs merciful to me ; forgive ray tins ; Lord Jesus Christ , into thy hauds I commend my spirit , Lord Jesu » , receive my sou } . " Everything b . in ^ in a state of readiness , the signal was pn ; "into Reddin ^' s hand . The prisoners stood a few-seconds , as if makine their la * t appeal to

      H ? avea for mercy , when the ha : dktrehief drop ; ; ihe boll wi 5 instantly drawn . Raiding died almost Without a ' straggle . Doolan's suff-rin ^ s wei e great ; the r . oose had got shifted , aud for Sour minutes his agonies w < re horrific . The bidi ^ , after hanging for . y minutes , were taken do ^ n , and buried within the precincts of the gaol . The droLlories indulged in upon the road showed how little capital punisl'inc-nt does towards awing the multitude , and miking salutary impressions upon the minds of the people . Let " us hope that these disgusting scenes will not be repeated—that poverty , the Euperiadecing caose of every crime , shall vanish before miid and equal laws ; and that peace , contentment , and equal laws shall be the portion , a ? they are the birthright , of every inhabitant of this country .

There was an unusually la . % e at-. tendance of members present on the occasion , ana ' , considerable uin ' crence of opinion prevailed on the subject . Mr .

It resembles influenza . Lord Melbophse and the Boy Jo . ves . —At Queen-square polioe office , on Saturday , William John Donovan , described as a bricklayer s labourer , was charged with exhibiting a placard on the footway in front of the House otLordB , to the annoyance and obstruction of the passengers . Ttie charge was made under the 8 th section of the 54 th clause of the new police act . Police constable Carter , 151 B

      stated that about half past four o ' clock , he was on duty in front of the House of Lords , when he ob-Berved the defendant parading up aad down , in the front of a House with a board , on which was a p lacard , reflecting npon the character of Lord Melbourne . The defendant ' s desire appeared to be that of attracting the attention of the Lords to his placard . He then took defendant into custody . —The placard was exhibited in court , and was as follows — "Extract from Jones's Peep into the Palace ;—1 There certainly is , my Lord , a vast majority of palace dinners in favour of your Lordship over mysel " , for on making reference to the pa ' ace circular I find from June , 1837 , the time when her Majesty ascended the throne , to the present time , your Lordship has taken pot luck with her Majesty 8 G 7 times ; myself four tiires ; or , to place it thus : —Viscount

" Mr . Burrell ( to tho defendant )—Have you anything to say ? The defendant said he was a poor labouring man , and glad to earn a shilling . He knew nothing of the Jaws ; he had been employed by Mr . Pattie , of Brydges-street , to carry tho placard , and was told to go down to the Houses of Parliament . Mr . Burrell said , defendant had committed an offence punishable under the police act , and he could not do otherwise than convict him in the mitigated penalty of five shillings , or in default seven day ' s imprisonment . The defendant being unable to pay the fine , was locked up , but in the afternoon Mr . Pattie , the publisher , came down to the court , and paid it for him .

      Tee validity of baptism has been decided by Sir Herbert Jeuner , in the Arches Court . An action had been brought by Mr . Cliff , an inhabitant of Gedney , in the county of Lincoln , against the Rev . Thomas Sweet Escott , vicar of tho parish , for having refused to bury the corpse of the prosecutor's infant dsaghter . The proceeding was instituted under the 68 th Canon , whereby it is decreed , that" No minister shall refuse to bury any corpse that is brought into the church or churchyard , convenient warning having b = eu previously given to him ; and if he 6 hall refuse to bury the same ( except the party deceased were denounced , excommunicated for some grievous crime , &c . ) h * shall be suspended by the Bishop of his diocese from his ministry for the space of three

      montns . " The defeuc ^ was , that " in the Rubric of the Book of Common Prayer , which was part and parcel of the statute 13 lu and 14 th Charles II ., c 4 , in the order for the burial of the de ^ d , it was enjoined that such office was not to ba used for any that are uiibaptizsd , excommunicated , or having laid violent hands upon themselves ; that the deceased Laving De * u baptized by a Wesleyan Methodist minister , any rite of baptism performed by him was null and void ; and that the child wa 3 therefore unbaptized in ihe eye of the law and the church . " Sir Herbert Jeuner , in a speech which occupied between

      four ana live hours in the delivery , decided that baptism bv a Dissenting clergyman was tantamount to lay baptism ; that Mr . Esixnt was bound , according to the canons and cousin utiou of the Church ot Entf ' and to bury the child ; a : id that by refusing to do so ho bad iubjecred himself' to ecclesiastical ce . isure . It had , Sir Herbert said , with a most praiseworthy and benevolent syim been decared , that the party proceeding was ohiy desirous that , Mr . Escott * ht >! i ) d bp admoinshed , and not cznonicuHy punished ; but the Court had no discretion in the case : Mr . E ^ coit was therefore sentenced to be suspended for three mouths , and to pay the costs .

Horwell— I went to seo my hubbandoff to New Orleans yesterday morning , and I received an invitation to take some winoat the docks ; I took my servant with me , and we certainly did take more than agreed with u * , and we quarrelled on our way home . Inspector Penny—She told me that she had a " tasting order , " to taste wine at the docks , and she was so fond of ' Malaga" that she took too much of

      it . ( A laugh . ) Mr . Greenwood—How do you account for the possession of the gin , after " tasting" so much " ¦ Malaga ?

Greenwood eaid that whether they were mistress or servant was qutte immaieiial ; if the , Horwell , was mistress the case was rendered more disgraceful , that fche should be found drunk fighting with her servant .

At the Court and the camp , in fashion and literature , the transcendental pretensions of these whiskered hordes are thrust upon us . A German newspaper in London , it appears , is the next nuisance to be endured by the public ; as if German principles aud habits were not already

      sufficiently propagated among aa English community . Such a speculatiou could , of course , only be entered into upon the supposition that there is Germanism enough amongst us to make it pay , for the idea of Germans doing anything from disinterested motives would be utterly ridiculous . As to a German paper being takeu iu by the vagabondising personages who iui ' est this metropolis , its projectors aro much too shrewd to form any such rash expectations .

      Extraordinary Fields of Ick in the Atlantic . —The following letter , which will bo found very interesting , was given to us by the commander of ihe Great Wenern on boarding that vessel : — " Grt at Western steam-ship , Bristol Channel , May 14 , 1841 . —Sir , —Under the impression that ice , to tho extent it has been seen this year , has never bi-. 'bro been heard of in thetc latitudes , I givo you tie following particulars for tho information of your readers : —On Sunday , April 18 , the ship steering wo « t , at six p . m . first saw 0110 iceberg on tho starboard bow ; at 7 30 , passed is ; at that time , four or five others in si ^ ht ; at 9 15 , passed several small pieces of ics—skwed the engines . In a few minutes after , the ship was surrounded with light field ice ,

      which appr-artd similar to a field I ran through on the 11 th February , 1839 : this induced me to go slowly , with the hopes of getting through , as I had done on that occasion , but , by 9 30 , finding it became closely packeci ,. atid much thicker , prudence dictated our escape by the same channel wo had entered . I then stopped , and attempted to get the ship ' s head to the < astnard by turning a-liead and astern until there was room for her to come round ; in the course of this operation , tLe ship had occasionally ( at lcaBt ) two strokes heel niven by either wheel passing over large masses of ice . At 10 15 , succeeded in getting tho ship's head to tho eastward , and by 11 entirely dear ; from that t . me went slowly , passing several iceberss : tho night at times very clear , the aurora

      borealis very bright . At 3 30 a . m . of the 19 oh , again got embayed in the ice , stopped , hauled short round on our keel , and steered out E by S , coasting the ice for five Gr six miles ; 4 40 , kept her to the westward running through innumerable icebergs until 8 30 , when we passed the last iceberg and point of the field ice . When the tun arose the ico was visible as far as the eye could reach in an unbroken line from NE byE by the northward to NW by W . at the same lime icebergs innumerable in every direction , forming one of the most magnificent sights I ever oeheld . The first iceberg we paw was in lat . 43 , long . 48 . 30 . and this last in lat . 42 . 20 , long . 50 . 0 . 1 am quite ture there was an uiibroken field of that extent , and from what I heard from Captain Bailly , of the American packet ship United States , I have no doubt the fiold ice extended , with very little break , to lat . 40 80 , where Captain Bailly fell in with

      it on the morning of the 11 th ., Several other ships also fell in with it in the same longitude , and were completely stopped , giving them an opportunity of killing Beala , which wete on it in great numbers . Some of the icebergs I estimate a little ( If alt all ) leas than a mile long , and from 150 to 200 feet high ; this field of ice was in large masses , some of them not less than twenty feet squart by six feet thick or more . The temperature ef the water , when within two miles of the first iceberg seen , fell suddenly from 50 degrees to 36 degrees ; air , 40 degrees to 36 degrees . When in the ice the water was 25 degrees , air 28 degrees ; during the remainder of tho night and following morning the water was not higher than 30 degrees , nor the air higher than 32 degrees . Immediately after passing the last ice the water became 36 degrees , and the air 42 degrees . I am , Sir , &c , Jims Hoskin , captain . "—London paper .
