Executions - Yesterday morning eight unfortunate criminals underwent the punishment awarded by law to the heinous offences of which they had been convicted, at the place of exection. Their names were Peter Riley, William Bowen, Thomas Slater, James Gallagher, John Crowther, James Smart, James Gardiner, and William Yems. riley, Bowen and Gallagher were Roman Catholics and were attended by the Rev. Therry whose endeavours to bring the two former of these unhappy men to a due sense of the awful situation in which they were placed, and the success which attended his exections, were are informed, were most strenuous and complete. On the day preceeding their execution (Sunday) they displayed the most reckless conduct, and declared their intention never to ascent the fatal platform unless carried there by force. They died, however, apparently in extreme pentitence for their past offence. The other culprits were attended by the Rev. Cowper. The spectacle of eight human beings deliberately hurried out of the world is one appalling to the feelings of humanity, but the unfortunate state of society in this colony, and the manifold increase of crime which each succeeding criminal calendar presents renders a striking example a matter of imperious necessity. May it have the desired effect
