preparations for die exeemioo of John C. Colt woald not nave been hong.

ware all made at an early hoar ibis morning. 1 he messenger sent «o Albany tetorned1 this morning, with the information that the Chancellor had peremptorily refused to grant a writ of Error, on theeeeond appliesiion of the attues! of Coll. Senator Verplsnck lias aleo replied to letter of Colt's counsel, in which h- Bgrrs with I lie pontionjsken by lienj. F-

stated that the Sheriff had complied with Ilia request, and pos'pened the boor of execution until tbe last of the day—4 o'clock.

Colt's brother was at the prison door aa soon ss it was opened in the morning, and remained with him about a quarter of an hour-

Colt afterwards dressed himself and was shared by Uolsena. of Centre street. At early dawn persons began io aaesmWe around tne

City Prison, and at about 8 o'clock, ibe avenues and entranoes began to be blocked up with anx-oos enquirers, who were asking—-"Will he be Ituiifc? you let us in?*'Ac. The gn 'cs io the entrance ot tne prison were closed aboot eight o'clock, and officers stationed te prevent the ingress of any except tiwae wbo had tickets of admission.

The position of the gnllows wss in the rear edurt yard oftW prison, and lie noise of tbewoikmen to us erection could lw distinctly hennl through tbe ma» aire walls of lie prison.

The gallows was erected early in ihe morning. It consisted merely ol two upright posts, and one transversely placed- Through tbe centre of the transverse piece, over a pally wheel, the rope was passed, nnd io lie opposite end weights of about 2'JO pounds were suspended by sddiuonal blocks»nd tackle. It was placed in the centre of ihe yard, and immedistely opposite the rear window of tne cell in which Colt was confined.

At 9 o'clock the outer deor of his cell was opened snd the usual breakfast of the prisonem served up in the different cells of tbe prisoners

The excitement about the prison was intense at about 11 o'clock, and the doors of the Police Office were closed' in order to prevent tbe intrusion of tbe crowd.

Frsnklin street was filled with the multitude as well as tho wstihule of ihe city prison on Centre street, snd Ute street in front.

Dr. Anthony visited the eel! of Colt's at about 11 o'clock, in company wiih Colt's brother, for the purpose of making preparation for his marrage with Caroline Hensbaw.

At about half past II o'clock .Messrs. Graham nnd Etnmitt, his counsel, visited his cell, and remained about an hour. A little belore 12 o'clock, Caroline Henshaw made her nppearuncc in company with the brother of Colt and John Howard Payne, who entered the cell with her. They were tlieu married by the Rev. I'r. Autlion, in presence of David Graham, Robert Kmineti, Justice Merrill, the Sheriff, John Howard Puyne. and his brother. She waa dressed with a at raw bonnet, green shawl, claret colored clonk trimmed with red cord, and a muIT. Her appearance denoted lunch anxiety, and ahe was much thinner than when a witness on the trial-

After their nuirringe. Dr. Antlion remained in the cell with them a few minutes, and then lift thutn alone, she remaining for nearly an hour-

There was considerable excitement among the prisoners in the various cells, nnd Sears, who is confined for the murder ol McDonotigh. was exceedingly inquisitive as to all th«' preparations lor tire execution, from every cell anarni conld be seen wiilt piece of glass in the fingers, evincing that the holder was anxiously waiting for VIih hour of execution, which will take place at twelve, and, in accordance with request, the keepers of the prison will lake a last farewell.

At the door stood Vultee, the deputy sheriff, one hand mi the s'iditig hoti nt the cell door, *ml the other holding the pudlock nnd key. On the corridor, connee'ed wi'hliis cv'l, was ihe sheriir, tracing up and down on one side, evidently deeply afleeted with the contemplation of the shocking ceremony ho wnsabont tn perform Other person*, friends ot Cult, were pa* cing the corridors, and nmwared as if a terrible event wasiiboat to Ituppeti, whtoi they could not averi,and thai qftnt'd jduujja them in p'rvfoutitl regret. At last,st aboui otwti'clock. tbr«»tU*r, SamuelgesMi »rn*e4*jw»t*«*«M»l sugagi-"! in conversation within* Whe, wli» wsi'stUtng on rtib WW, of the bed, convulsed wiih his tears lliswife, CaroliteH«»shi»w, new Caroline Colt. is •till In tha sell alone with him.

Dml'.ey ^eldon, uuc ol his counsel, has just entered the prison. ,, olt hns been eng^gwl f«»r the past two daj writing n'replv tbe loiter of Gov. Reward.

At tiii»,«*riod of ihe eventlul dny, tlie «jen.» wnsexo'ting nod thrilling in tho extreme Within that narrow ctll were the husband and wife, hut ia*t m*rtied yet l*tddingcnch other farewell fur the last time on earth, with the awful certainty that one would he a lifelets corpse, and the other a Widow, before the setting of tlmstn that was then throwing its rays into the otherwise cUoerlcw t'lnce.

At Colt's reqmet, Joint HownnH'avne and Lewis Gavlord Clarke ihen went into his cell to take their leave of him. Colt appeared eseeediuiily pleased to •ce litem, shook them cordially hy the hand, nnd con versed with apparent cheerfulnee* with them for five nitmitis. wb«Mhay bid him fn re well, both of them in tears, CoU'v lifvtner. ijotnuel and his wife, remained in the cell aliotii ten minims longer, when both left.— His brother wa* deeply afTeeted mul looked more gimr |y even than Coll himself- llis wife could scarcely support herst-lf, so violent were her feelings and acute her sufferings. 81 ie stood nt ihe door of the cell for a m'nute--Col» k'*«ecd her pisn onntely—strained her to his biisom, and waiehsd hsr receding form as she pass* tU into tiia corridor IJereslie stood nnd s,b!el convulsively ss though her heart would break, for 5 minutes.

At last site was led away hy Coli'# brother, and his friends tollowed. He then desired to »re I he Sheriff, wlm went into his cell. Coll I hen told him emphatically :b«i be waa innocent of tbe murder of Adams, and that lie never intended to kill him he also told him that lie still Iia. hopes that something would intervene to rove him from being hung, and tagged him not to execute the sentence ol lie upon him. The Sheriff told him to banish all hope of that kind, for that he must die at 4 o'clock.

He then requested to see the .Sheriffs watch and set his own b5 it to a minute. He then asked to »*e Dr. Anthmi, and the latter went into his cell and remained in pram with him for about ten minute*. At the oSose ol this, Colt agsin sent lor the Sln-riff. and a*id to him, "If d»rr« are any gentleman present wlw wish to see me, and take their leave of me, 1 shall be hawy to two^liem."

Tliis was announced bribe Sheriff, and «U present, with one or two exceptions, psssed up to his cell door, shook httn bv lite bund, and took their leave of him.

The Sfnry Rogers Mystery Explained. The terrible mystery which for more than a year hns hung over the fate of Mary Rogers, whose body wns found, ns our readers will well remember, in the North River, under circumstances such as convinced every one that she was tho victim of hellish lust and then of murder, is at last explained—to the satisfaction, we doubt not, of all. It may be recollected that associated wiife the tale of her rn nee. was the tin me of Mrs. Lose, the woman who*ke|»n^ R?ftSSihTnent house est tbe scene of her death. About a fortnight since—-as we have already stated—this woman was accidentally wounded by the premature discharge of gun in the hands of her sou the wound proved fatal but before she died she sent for Justice Merritt, of New Jersey, nnd told him the following facts. On the Sunday of Miss Rogers's dtsap|tenrance she enme to her house from this city in company with young phyttician, who undertook to procure for her a premnture delivery. Whi in the hnndsof the physicinn she died and a consultation was then held as to the disposal of her body. It'wits 6na!ly tnken at night by the son of Mrs. Lo*s and sunk in the River where it wns found. Her clothes were first tied up in a bundle and sunk in a pond on the land of Mr. James G. King in that neighborhood but it wasnfierward thought they were not safe there, and they were accordingly taken nnd scnttnred through the woods as they were found. The name of the physician is unknown to us, nor do we know whether it was divulged or not. The Mayor has been made acquainted with these facts by Mr. Morritt, and we doubt not an immediate inquiry after the guthy Wretch will be made. The son of Mrs. Loss, ns an accessary after the fnct, we suppose will be—if he hns not already been—arrested. No doubt, we apprehend, can bo entertnined of the truth of this confession. It explain* many things connected with tho nffltir which before were wrnpped in ntys-lery—-ospecinily the apathy of the mother of Miss Rogers upon the discovery of her body. It will be remembered that she did not even go lo identify it and madu no inquiries concerning the afliiir.

Thus has this fe trful mystery, which has struck fear and terror to so many hnnrts, beenWt fo&t explained by circumstances in which no one can fail to perceive a Proxidrntitil agency. Resides the «*«iliy murderer,the twti perseos. One of the«n through1 ihttinvotuntary agency of the other, is (aid upon her death-bed—and tlten Con* science,no longer able to keep silence,breathes iti accusation into the ear of Justice. We rejoice most deeply at this revelation, nnd that Ihe scene of the unhappy victimfs dealh is relieved of some of the horrors with which conjecture, apparently wolI-founded, had surrounded it. If wc recollect aright some physicians of this city testified with great professional confidence ns to the manner of her death—describing very minutely the kind and dogrec of personal violence to which she hnd lieeu subjected. These statements are now shown to be baseless. Should not this tend to diminish SQmewhat the implicit reliance often placed u.on the testimony of physicians in similar casesf—New York Tribune.

A writer i.i the lied^er gives- the

The direction# are as follow s:

To one gallon of water, odd eight pounds of catrso rock salt,-one pint of molasses, and two ounccs of saltpetre, mix the ingredients in tho best proportions, well together, and lot them remain until dissolved, say twelve hours ami then assort your hnms so as to have them ofthesamo si» iu thesametubs, pnekiug them either end downwards, but not flat or horizontally, until the cask is full, then our tlie bfino as above prepared, over them, and your work is about done. Hams of aboul 'ten pounds weight should remain in this pickle about four weeks, and larger ones in propqrltoo. and orr-tonger six weeks In common being Irfng enough Ait the largest haftn, or they become too salt, a great fault for this article.

A Her the hams have lain lo enough in p'ckle, 'ake litem out and let them drtin a day or two before hanging litem up to smoke, for which purpose, hickory wood is much the best when brought to a proper color, they may be packed in casks of any sixe. Dry sawdust, in dry salt, [as they will take nn more salt.] or any compact article, or they may be packed without anything, if not intended for export, in which case it is better to interlay tbem with something to keep them solid and e^pact, and to keep out flies.

In mv conference with you, I believe I distinct!/ stated that I came out br tbe sake of peace: and tlioash am instructed to stick up for the right of Sitting for oraters in tbe St. John river. 1 do not say I may not'make a concession on this point, if the eomfort of tbe natives ban object with roar government. I most, however, distinctly declare that I cannot resign the right of looking st the mile stone on the bonodary nnd nnd this point I am more resolute upon, heeanee I think you told tne it was a matter of indifference. If I was mistaken, pray let me know, and I will reconsider the matter but, if I understand yon right tv, and vou do not object to the concession, then sir, let me tell you emphatically that the honor and dignity of the great nation I represent must he maintained and I shall adhere resolutely lo tbe right of visiting tbe milestone alluded to

Permit me tn repeat, sir, that 1 am a very old own* and am determined on peace: for it would ill become me. at my time of life, to aseist in promoting war&re.

The courage of irae patriotism uever so thoroughly tested as in time of deep distress nnd the indomitable energy of the Whig party is never so tlorioasly displned as in tbe gloom of delast. The Whigs war only lor principle and no ten porary disaster can sliske their nrtuness in sapport tlie that illustrate their principles. This

time for despondency or despair. On the oontrary, a time when every Whig should redouble Ilia energy in the cause and every true Whig will at ones adopt tne decisive resolution to rescue his country from the domiuioti of Locofbcoisnt and establish the trie Whig principles on foundations thai can neither ue overthrown by assault nor sapped by treachery. The greater tho disasters that thicken around us, the more imperious the necessity tor increased exertion. Whi^s Who, hitherto, have folded their arms in amithy and Inpinrness, will now arouse from their lethargy and henceforth they will ben terror to their opponents. This is bat the history of the past action of the Whig psrty. During tlie long twelve years misrule of JackfcOh gad Van Buren the Whigs lought through successive snd ovsrwhelming defeuts, renewing itw contest

with more unconquerable sjiirit at every battle, till at t« they achieved the most glotious politicul victory record. In 1839, but the year before the memorable year of Whig victory, they were dreadfully beaten almost every where yet in one year after, upon far the heaviest poll ever cast, they beat their opponents loO,000 votes. So it will be again. In t844, we have not a shadow of doubt, the VVhigs will again triumph as thsy did in 1840. This is not a mere idle boast for met. We are earnest in the opinion. We see nothing in o«r late disasters to discourage us. Theljocos have gained in popular atrength in no quarter beyond what might be naturally allowed to theni for increara of population. They have not out polled their strength bf 1840. They have consequently gained no radical strength. A portion of tlie Whigs have linen soiled by a discreditable apathy and havo allowed their enemiee t&itriumph over them but thia will not be tbe case sjjBi^. The# will now see the folly ol their inaction Wd juweii atone for their error. Let no croaking wfttyw w® aie too Confident, aUd'-yield his eoafidence In the happy result of another effort. If 4he Locnfocos are now so soon triumphant after their unprecedented defeat of 810. why may not the Whigs tie again victorious in 18-1-It We repeat that the lorn of the Whigs is itot the gain of tlie Locos snd if they had gained ally thing upon their vote of 1840, no true Whig wonld therefore the less earnestly battle for his eaiwe and for victory. .....

True, he is not a hero illustrious for bis bravery upon the field, and the blood ho has shod in defence of his country. but he has displayed a moral and intellectual courngo in the Senntenod forum, greater thnn that which is required to face the cannon's mouth. He has boldly attacked the hydra-headed monster, Error, in whatever form it httsdnred to attack tbe institutions of his country, and to crush or intimidate it by the indignant thunders of eloquence and tlie power of truth.

A DELICATE AFFAIR IN HIGH LIFE' A good deal of interest haa been excited for some days past, by the publication of rumours of a "delicate affair" in high life. The rumour is, that a certain noble Prince has long been attached lo the eldest daughter of a noble Duke, whose family, %n one side, claims certain consanguinity with that of the Sovereign. ^The result of the mutual passion existing on the pert of tbe Prince and tbe lady, renders sn atonement by marriage now absolutely necessary. The lady ie ia a way to become a mother, and, in tbe short space of three months will enjoy the blessinfi, or foal the pangs of maternity. Her ladyship's situa* tion is, of course, now unable to be any looger concealed and ber father has communicated with the Prioee's father upon the subject. His Roysl Highness immediately assented to the necessity of union between his son and the Noble Lady and the Prince himself ie anxious to make the rejiaration which lies in his power. But, according to the terms of the Royal Marriage Act, which waa pawed in the time of George the Third, no member of tba Royal family can espouse any one without* previously obtained consent of the Sovereign* Were tbe Prince and the lady io questioo t& be united without such consent, the marriage would be illegal, and the offipriiig theeeof rilegitimate. The Queen has, therefore boen ^applied to io the preeedt: emergency, and all attempts to induce hat to alter her dectekm are vain, tier Majesty*s consent ie not alone suffieieot tbat of the Privy Council must also be obtained, after a year's notice formally given. Her Majesty (or her Privy Council) argues thus. "It is possible mv children may die then cornea the King of Hanover, who is very old after him. Prince George of Hanover, who it very eickly next the Duke of Sussex snd then the Duke of Cambridge* Now, if sll these events were to bsppen, tba Prince alluded to would stand an excellent chance of assuming tbe soeotre aleo* In thia case, a subject becomes the Qneeo of England, should tbe Prince at present espouse tho lady, and such a contingency, howeiei remote sod improbable it may appaai,must aot be allowed to exist.** So, ws hear* reaaooa tbe Qneeo snd we should suppose her decision is also backed by tbe advioe of at leaal tome of her Ministers and adviseis we say "some," because we can stela upoo authority* that tbe Duke of Watliagloa is hi fcmir of tbe none.

Parliament, it is thought, will not meet before the beginning of January. Prom the Continent we have little news of interest since the Great Western sailed. In France tlie whole press is in a blaze with England and the English, and the interminable question of the right of search, but it is evident that the object of the invective is to place M. Thiers at the head of aflairs, to e&ct which they seem to think it necessary to persuade the French people that the minister who now occupies the post after which M. Thiers nnd his friends so eagerly pant, is anti-nation-al, nnd %villing to submit to any insult from foreign powers, and particularly from England but aa neither ftl. Guizot nor any one else, can show want of spirit in resenting insults, unless insults are offered, the first point to he mnde out is, that England is bent 00 insulting France. For this purpose, all manner if false, frivolous, or exaggerated stories have been trumpeted up, and have been used for the purpose of enabling tbe Thiers* faction to stab M. Guizot, through the sides of England, and it ia difficult to sny what will be the upshot of this conspiracy of Thiersites, Barrotists, iVfolists, Buonnpartists, Jacobins, and Legitimists, against the honor of England, and the peace of Europe. It is at present extremely annoying tn its affects snd we cannot help fearing that one of its results witt fe»%» iadueo France to withdraw from Vie noblest aad most disinterested association of nations ever formed—namely, that for the suppression of the African slave trade. The Guizot Ministry has already allowed itself to be frightened by clamor intoa refusal to ratify one treaty which her representatives had signed, and it will require great firmness on the part of M. Guizot and his colleagues lo prevent the abrogation of the other.
