THE EXECUTION OF JOHN JONSTON FoR THR MURDER OF JUDGE VAN WINKLE AND WIFE, PATERSON, NHW JERSEY. APPEARANCEK OF THE PRISONER, &e., &e., ke. . The authoritics of the beautiful and picturerque town of Paterson, New Jersey, exiibited, yesterday, & long and weil to bo remembered scone to the inhabitants and ite vicinity, for miles sround, in the oxeeution of John Joneton for the murder of Judge John Van Win- kle and his wife, on the morning of the 0h of January last. Yeoterday, the 30th day of April, was designated by the Court, for Sheriff Lane to put to death the culprit by hanging. The morning was clearand beautiful, the sun rising on the bills of Paterson in all ite majesty, shedding its radiant beams of glory as it bad often done before; yet still there was a gloom manifest among the folks, intermixed with a kind of | pleasing. unsettled expectation that something despe- rate or terrible was about to take place. Dutch farm- | ers were pouring into town from all quarters from many miles distant; in fact, every body appeared to be | anxious to witness # man pay the extreme ponalty of | the by the forfeiture of his lifo on the gallows, The Leeus and the belles were dressed up in their Sun- day-go-to-mectings, and, for the younger portion, it was esteemed as quite a gala day, It was understood that the ma 8 to be hanued ip the jail yard; cou- | sequently, at an early hour, ® concourse of people be- gan to take up their position, in order to wit- ners the ceremony. The house tops in the vicl- nity, and sheds. were the first occupied. It was ru- more xo, ax the execution was to take Von in the jail yord, in an elinost private manner, that o disturbance and riot would be the result, instituted by thore who were uvable to gain admittance. Therefore, to prepare for thix emergency the Sheriff deputed nearly one hundred special officers, with badges and staves,to keep the peace, aided by the military, At | belf-past 9 o'clock, the Jefferson Blues, a very fine | military company, commanded by Capt. Griffith, mus. tering some fitty’ muske's, marched tuto tho jail yard, under the dirvction of the Sheriff, and took up their position. THE JAM. YARD. The jail yard ix cuciowd by a board fence, 15 fect high, and around this fence, on the inside, was a plat- form ereeted, about four feet from the ground On this platform were stationed the soldiers, in singlo file, com. jetely round. making quite an imposing appearance nthos yard, which is estimated large enough to contain over 2,000 perrons, was erected the gallows, standing 20 feet high, and the platform six fect. with steps to ascend, It was erected in ‘thia way for the express purpose of giving the spectators who wer waabie to be admitted into the yard, « good view of the hanging The gallows was made by two strong supports anda beam on the top. through the centre of which was the rope and pulley. Tho weights being made to drop on cutting a small rope, and. in reverse, the man goes up. A large portion of the #peclal police were deputed to keep order around the gallows SCENES AND INCIDENTS. On the top of the fenco,was seated boys and men, just as thick as it possibly could be, and likewise on the tops ot fevered tables sbeds. and house tops, in the wi nity; im truth. a8 fer as the eyo could reseh, was no- thing but a dense mass of human heads, One shelving roof was very remarkable,contsining nearlylall womoa, from the scuttle down to the gutter It was astonishing to witness the extreme anxiety exhibited by the fe- melas, to withers the execution; some were begging to be admitted with infants in their arms, and «ight or ten well dreswd women, on being admitted to the jail, wished to proceed to the yard, whore tho yailows was erceted. This, however the Sheriff very proper!y refused.

Ths evidence show- ing the guilt was very conclusive on the trial, and tho jury rendered # verdlet of wilfal murder, sheriff Lane certainly deserves much credit for the judicious and able manner in which he managed the execution.
