Crispin, alias Crage, was iu arather sullen mood, and insisted upon it that he was about to be murdered. He displayed less fortitude than any of the others, and in- deed appeared to suiler keenly the apprehension of his fate. He isan Englishman, and sent for Mr. Geo. Co) peli, the person who claims to be her Britannic Majesty Acting Consul at this port; but Mr. Coppell could not see that he had any right to interfere in the matter. Ra ther unusual pradence on the part of Mr. Coppell, as he generally needs only the slightest provocation to address General Butler. Crispin drank an immense quantity of whiskey, which probably saved him from the most complete prostra- tion, The ~al'ows erected for this occasion was of a similar Cescription to that on which Mumford was hung at the Mint—a simple platform pendant to the wall at the end of the courtyard inside the Parish Prison, and secured by large hinges. From the embrasure over the window, directly back of the scaffold, three bears protruded: each wich its* portentous rope. On the platform there were placed two old broken chairs without backs. But fow spectators were adinitted to the jail yard, aud they were mostly officers and other genilénien con- nected with the division, At the end of the yard opposite the gallows a detail of twent, from the Thirty-first Massachusetts reg der Captain Rockwell, was drawn up, as a guard. Outside the prison a large crowd of curious gazers jostled each other for u sight nothing bot stone wulls and the guard doing duty at the entrance to the building. ‘The prison ig so built that Tcould not discover any piace where anybody outside of the building could obtain even a glimpse of the deed traispiring iuside. ‘The pri- soners ip their cells resorted to the usual coutrivaaces to obtain a view of the repulsive spectacle Atalittle after ten o'clock A.

Father Duffo then offered an impressive and earnest prayer for the souls that were so soon to render thélr final account. The mea mantained a calm composure throughout the prayer, and at its close cach of them, at the request of the priest, repeated the Iord’s Prayer, Clary reciting it slowly aud with expression, aud Koy speaking rapidly aud almost ina whisper. Opportunity was then given to them to address 1 wee. Roy simply said that he hoped ali of bis old friends and com- panions, to whom he tind always deen true, would take warning by him and not follow his example. Clary spoke more at length, end us follows:—“Bofore coming to New Orleans | have always lod an honorable life, and have uever been connected with such o transac- tion before. 1 have been led into this by others, aud, although I do not wish to implicate another man, still I bave related to a gontieman at my left the circumstauces by which I was led into this crime, and 1 depend upon him to teli Col. Statlord, after my death, all that i told him. I beve songht to make my peace with God, and feol confident that | am about to-enter upon a better lie.” He then asked (ol, Stafford tw have the rope more comfort- ably adjusted on his neck, and took « long, lingering Jook at the world which was so rapidly fadiug from his sight. Iwas tho one to whom he aliuded as having received his revelation ss to the person who was #0 groatiy to blame for his unlawful conduct in this city. His state- ment to me was of no consequence at all, and amounted simply to a charge that if he had not beon employed by this person im a certain service he should not have (allen intoevil company. The implication was very unjust to aman who bad no more connection with the robberies than be who gives @ giaes of wine toa (riend has with the delirium tremens that may end the life of him who drinks it. After the prisoners bad spoken, the caps were drawn closely over their faces, and at just twenty minutes after ton the ropes sustaining the platiorm wero cut, and the moa were launched ino eternity. The necks neither of them broken, although the fall was About four feet, and both victims strangled to death, muscular contraction continuing for nearly ten minutes. At tweuty minutes before eleven the bodics were lowered, and br. K. K.

In a little loss than twenty miuutes, the surgeons hiv- ing pronounced Newton aod Crispin dead, tne bodies were cut down and laid in two coils buside their part- ners in guilt.

He was ibirty-cight years of age, and lvaves a wi.e aud four children in Eust doston. His eldest child, a boy, is tour- teen years of age. Ciary nas followed’ the sea sinco boyhood,and Das wt various times sailed as master and mate of vessels, both from American aud New Bruns- wick ports. He had been attached to the Saxton oniy since her iast trip from Boston. He was uneducated, but ratner intelligent und capable. He was quite tall aud robust, and not {il looking, though his countenance was, in a marked degree, jacking in fraukness upd honesty. He was an oniy child, and his parents have beeu spared by death trom the disgrace which his felou’s death would have brought upon them, Stanis- Jaus Roy, alias J’at. Murpby, was burn in Lower Canada, ata little place thirty wiles north of Montreal. He was twenty-six years of age, and had resided in New Orieans for the last nine years, working part of the time at his trade of paddier and sometimes as bartender. His repu- tation in this city was that of a thief. He Was uumar- ried, aud leaves his pareuts and seven brothers ii Canada, In person be was quite short—not more than Hive feet five—and with @ furtive, repulsive expression of countenance. Frank Newvon was @ native of Lewis county, New York, where his parents and two brothers reside. He was only twenty-two years old last August. Some three or four years ajo he united with the Methodist church, aud for some time eviceutiy led an exempiary life; but gettmg into evil compauy he became wild an addicted to unlawiul practices. He was iarried Waeu about twenty years of age, but did not live with his wile loug. EFerly last wi.ter, or in the fall, he went to New Haycu, where, under the assumed name of Newton (ho decline! giving his true name), he married gai), aud, in February, eulisted in the Thirteent Con: at regiment. im this conuectimm he conducted Limself so badly that a short time previous to the de- predativns for whiek he was huug Le was dishonorably Gischarged from the regiment. In person he was uearry Six feet tail aud very etalwart, with a sallow face, large, pecutiar blue eyes, aud short, bristling black hair. He was a weaver by trade, and, thouga illiterate, could converse and write ia Eugiiah that was almose elugant. Geo. Wm.

He was thirty-three years od and « uiuriuer by profession, He leaves a wile aud three ehildren in Brovklyn, N.Y. Lie was apparent y of a suriy disposition and not inclined to be Communicative.
