Execution und CohIVmhIoii of Pearson. Aa atated by telegraph in Saturday’s Sun, Daniel H. Pearson, who murdered his wile and twin daugh ters on the morning of the 11th of April, 1840, at Wilmington, Macs., was on Friday, executed in the jidl yard at EaBt Cambridge, Mass. The Boston Trav eller, of Friday evening, gives the following account of the last moments, with his confession : Early this morning the jail at East Gambridgo was surrounded by a crowd ol peoplo, anxious to see the execution of Daniel II. Pearson, which was to take place between tliu hours of seven and eleven. Only nbout two hundred were admitted, however, Inside the walls ol the jail, which is so situated that the scatliuld cannot be seen from without. Unite a num ber of young mi'n and buys, however, covered the roof ol an udjoining bouse, and with clamorous ex clamations, interrupted the last religious services with the prisoner. Most oi the last night of the condemned was pass ed with liia spiritual advisers in prayer and prepa ration for his untimely death. Early this morning, his wife's father and sister visited him mpl took a last farewell. His own father, who is of advanced age, was not oquulto tho task of visiting his son at such an awful crisis, and has not therefore seen him for the past few days. Early this morning, religious services were held in Pearson's cell, and to all appearances he appear ed to be wrapped up in devotion, telling the bystan ders that he was at peace, and beseecTiing them to repent also. He kissed tho sheriff affectionately, und expressed himself Bntistied with his treatment since he had been confined in jail. At nbout ten o'clock, public religious services were performed in the uvonuc lending to his ceil, Pearson being placed in a chair near, with his Bible in his hand. A hymn was sung, u fervent prnyer made by Ilev. E. T. Taylor, and portions oi scripturo read by Rev. Mr. Merrill. At the conclusion id' these servi ces, Mr. Taylor remarked to the men in authority present, that tho ministers of God having prepared the mind of the condemned for his fate, bowed to the majesty of tho law, which they revej. need as necessary to the well-being of society. He who was about to suffer, he said, put the crime on his own head and bears the guilt. He concluded by commend ing his “dear brother” to God, and adjured him to lean upon his Redeemer in the fust approaching mo ment of trial. The spectators then retired ; and afterhisnrmsbad been pinioned, he, with a firm step, walked to the galluws, hesitating for a moment as he reached the steps, but after a whisper from Mr. Taylor, walking promptly up and taking his stand upon the door. He then called for a Bible, and rend it lor a few moments witli wrapt attention, after which he re quested permission to address a few words to the as sembled crowd, which was promptly granted. His address was in quite a low tone, it was sub stantially as follows : “ My dear friends—I should like to say n word to you relative to your salvation. That is tho impor tant point. I hopo and trust that I am going to leave a world of sin for eternal happiness. I commend you all to God, and pray that I may meet you all in glory. I hope you will bo aure to be prepared to meet your God 1” The reading of the death warrant and other forms having been complied with, the enp was drawn over his face, just ns some indistinct words came from his mouth. A moment altorwnrds, at twenty min utes past ten, the fatul spring was touched, and the body of Pearson was launched into the air, the tall being nbout eight feet. There was very little if any struggle after his fall, and it seems probable that his death was easy. After hanging for half an hour he was pronounced to be dead by an attending physician, was cut down, placed in a coilin, and given up to a relative, who will convey tile body to Wilmington for burial. Pearson was about 45 years of age, anil has one daughter an interesting girl of 17 years of age, still living in Boston. The murder which he has to-day expiated was committed in April, 184i), about fifteen months ago.— He wns arrested the day after the murder, and bus been in confinement ever since. Pearson’s Confession. Jail, East CAMnniDOE, X July 25, 1850. j I am about to appear before God. I wish to un burden my souj and free my conscience of whatever 1 ought. With all my heart, and under the eye of my Ma ker, who will judge mo soon, I declare as follows, truly, of the death ol my wife, Bdrali B. Peurson, and my two twin children, Sarah and l.ydia. 1 confess that, / myself alone took the lives of my wife and. two children, on tho morning of the llth of April, between the hours of two and four o'clock. This is the time which I did it, ns nearly ns 1 •an recollect and these are the principal circum stances. On the 10th of April, having drank ale to excess, I went to my brother Henry’s in Brointield street, took an umbrella, kissed my daughter Melissa, told her I was going to Providence, and parted. Thon I went down Trenmnt street and Temple F lace to a club liouso and got a pack of enrds; then went down Trernont street and struck over to tho Providence depot, and inquired when tho cars start ed and left; then I went to Boylston street, obtained a shoe-knife at n shoemaker’s simp, and then obtain ed n vial of laudanum at an apothecary's store ; then 1 went to Merrimack street and got a bottle of gin; then I went to the Lowell depot and left in the ears for Wilmington, 1 think about six o’clock in tho even ing. On arriving nt Wilmimrtonl asked when the ears left in the morning for Boston. Some one answered, and handed me a "Pathfinder.” 1 then left for my house, where my wife and two children were living. I went over through the woods, and, stupilied with liquor, got lost. It was a kind Providence to hold ti e back. Not knowing where I was when I got through the woods, 1 loqjtcd round for some time and saw nty barn. I went to the burn, and, looking about, I saw a light in my house. I went and tapped on the win dow. Martha inquired, "who is there!” “Daniel," I anawered. She came to the door and let me in. After shaking hands with her I sat down. She got me a cun of tea and I took supper. Shortly alter she retired. 1 sat up n little while by tho,stove, and then went to bed with my wife. 1 drowsed nlittle, arose, went out, and returned again to bed. Between two and four o'clock 1 did the fatal deed. Alter the first thrust, which I think did not wound her, Martha got the knife away from me, I know not how, and held it by the handle. It wns hard to get it again; and, in the dark 1 seized the blade in my hands, and, wrenching, split the handle, mid got the blade from her. If the handle had not broken the deed might not have been done. In doing this, my hands were cut badly. I then overcame her, and in the struggle slm IScried out, "O, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel! don’t murder State—murder, murder!” 1 pierced her in the neck. Salter she was pierced. 9he got on the tloor from the IVicd. She cried, "O my God!" Bleeding, she fell on tho floor ami died. Do not know how the pillow canto under her. Sarah slept on the bed with my wife. She awoke and cried. I pierced her also in tile neck, and she died. Lydia awoke, crawled upon the bed, saying something and laughing, I believe. 1 put my hand on her head, and pierced her in the neck, and this lamentable deed was finished. How could 1 have done it. Now I acknowledge, ns I have often and repeat edly. that Martha, my wife, gave me no cause, nei ther in any manner nor at any time, for doing this deed. I was not jealous of my wife. All her children, without doubt were initio. She was a good woman, and deserved well of me. 1 cannot tell why 1 did the deed, except tliStt I was led away. Before leaving the house,! kindled a light to dress me. 1 left my wife on the floor, having placed the knife in her hand, the children on the hod, the laudanum by her on the table, with iheeaids and notes one of which 1 signed, inten ding to make the impression that Martini after destroy ing the children, had herself committed suicide. Then going out of the back door, 1 crossed the woods to a brook, and there washed my person from my wife and children’s blood. I then changed my shirt, which was torn in the struggle and bloody. Tho blood on my clean shirt sleeve was my own blood. After wiping myself with the shirt which I took oil. I rolled it up, carried it to Boston, and sunk itin the water just below the Providence depot. (Signed) Daniel il. Peaiison.

Who nre the DUuuloiilats t Wo have frequently remarked tho unanimity with- which ttio press of tho Northern cities catch up the disunion sentiments which occasionally find expres sion at tho Bouth, and denounce their authors. A word of treasonable import against the Union, utter- od by a Southern mim, in tho heat and excitement of debate is enough to “hang him ns high as Hainan,” iu tile opinions of those loyal and patriotic editurs, whoring the changes upon the criminul defection of tho South, and delight the cars of their readers with tlio bitterest denunciations oi tile men who, for any tinci itin their hearts to talk of re- Extknsive Fiue8 in Baltimore. Two very de structive fires occurred in Baltimore on the 27th ult. The first broke out nbout 11 o’clock, and destroyed the upper stories of two buildings on soutliside of Baltimore street, two doors east of Tripoli* alley. Tho Buildings were occupied by Griffith's carpet warehouse, and tho upper story as tin armory by the Junior Artillerists. The loss is not stated, hut is very heavy. The fire is supposed to be the work of an in cctidiary. Shortly after the above fire had been got under, another one broke out in North Gay street, on tho east side, burning Child’s coach factory, Mathcot's chair factory and furniture'wareroom, Westley B. Furr's cabinet establishment, Mr. Hatchett's dwelling on Frederic street, and Brennan's extensive maho gany wareroom. The entire block of tho above property extended provocation sistenco to the wrongs, the insults und aggressions of tlie North. Since the fourth of July last, we have I through iront Day to Frederic streets, all complete had a flood of indignation paragraphs of this kind. I ly burned out. Tho origin of the tiro is unknown, The toasts and speeches called forth by that occasion | hut us it was in tho immediate vicinity of the first in some sections of the South, breathe tho senti-! fire it is probably a spark that did it, though a report ments of a people sensible of their wrongs und reso lute in the defence of their rights. Tho toasts of some of our South Carolina brethren especially, have furnished texts for endless homilies on Southern treason, and it is amusing to read the diatribes of patriotic twattle that arc expended upon the oil'hand, toasts of some of our neighbors across tho river, who, not having the fear of Federal hemp before their eyes have dared to express the opinion that a Union which prevails that it was the work of an incendiary. The total loss is estimated at $35,000, partly insur ed. Several persons were injured. Ilenry Nuedhtun, u fireman, died from heat and exhaustion. lUitqui: CitANNiNG, Buhnt at Sea.—The vessel reported ns the China, burnt oil' Bahia, proves to be the barque Clmnning, Captain Adams, which left New York on the 3d of April, for California, it appears that when within 200 miles of Bahia, Humes were first sanctions and ontorccs the wrongs and usurpations j discovered issuing through the hutches, and in a ol a Northern majority against the rights of tho South, is no longer worth preserving. Such sentiments aro commented on with unspar ing severity, und the utterers of them denounced as traitors worthy of the most condign punishment. We could admire the loyalty of these editors, if it were not for tho fact thut treason seems only to look ugly in their eyes when it comes from tho South. Wo ureas much uttached to this Union ns they can possibly bo,and would bear as much und do us much to preserve it us they or any others that have enjoyed its blessings. Wo dislike to hoar our friends talk of disunion, but wo dislike much more tho .cause which impels them to contemplate such a national disaster ; and while we aro willing to visit censure wherever it is due to tho rush and headstrong, among our own peo ple, we must declare it as our solemn conviction, that tho estrangement which is now daily becoming more and more apparent between tho two anta mnistio sections of the Uniuti, has had, anil still has its origin in the unjustifiable, unconstitutional and dishonorable course of tho people of tho free states: and that it very short time after the vessel was destroyed togeth er with her valuable cargo. The long boat was stove in getting her over the side, hut there being six bouts on deck (which were on frieght) the crew took to them, when they readied Bahia in safety a short time alter. ! he Clmnning had a cargo on board valued at from $70 to $80,000. tihe wus only three years old, built in Bangor, and was a lino vessel. The cargo and vessel were principally covered by insurance in New York. The U. wus valued at $12,000. Cabinet Acceptances.—The National Intelligen cer says that Messrs. Graham and Crittenden have accepted their cabinet appointments, but have not yet arrived. Gov. Crittenden is probably detained by the death of his son-in-law. Mr. Bates is at the White Sulpher .Springs, it is stated, and may arrive about Wednesday, if lie decides to take tlie Depart ment of tho Interior. Scotch Investments in Irish Land.—Several upon them the reprehension should full of those who weu ' t * , y Scotch farmers are seeking desirable invest honestly deprecate the teudeney of events, and who cherish & sincere veneration lor tho Union. Why do not these patriotic editors who are so loud in denouncing tho disunion sentiment of tho South direct their indignation nguinst those nudiguaut spir its iu their midst who nre the prime movers, and the cause of ail this mischief ! How is it that they are unmoved by tho treuson, tlie systematic, organized, active treason at their own doors I Wily do they not denounce tho men who ure openly advoenting on the floors of Congress, in the i’ulpit, and in their political organizations, tho “ destruction of tlie America n Union and American Church,” ns a means of ac complishing tho prostration and ruin of the South ? How can they—prolessing their attach- mont to tho Union, listen to the blasphemous •doctrines of such men as GAnnisoN, and the ne gro Douglass, the " higher law” doctrines of such men as .Skwaiid, and Hale, tlie fanatical agrarian theories of Gkeelv, and his confederates, who arc seeking to subvert the order of tilings, morally, politi. caly and socially, and urging on the spirit of aggres sion against the -South, goading our peojfc to = des- peration, by their impertinent persistenceiand still preach homilies to us about patriotism ? If they were not themselves blinded hy prejudice and mnil- od in hypocrisy, they would bo forced to blush for their own inconsistency. We have only to say to these editors that their ef- torts to convince even themselves of the treason of the South, will all be unavailing, and tlint if ever dis union does come, their clamorous professions of pa triotism and devotion to the Union will not serve to hide trom the world or their own consciences the fact that to their own course and the course of the peo ple of the tree States the greatest calamity which ev er befell civilized man will be chargeable. It our Union does fall, upon their heads will be the conse quences and the crime. ments iu Ireland. Considerable purchases have al ready been made. It is understood that a number of English and Scotch capitalists are among the lad ders for the extensive Connierara estates, which have been brought under the operation ot the encumbered commission court. The introduction ot the Scotch system of agriculture into Ireland will have decided influence on the agriculture of that country. Albany, July 20. Suspicious Death of a Lady.—A young lady, nam ed Thornton, said to be highly respectably connec ted, was found dead in Delaware House this evening. She arrived here last Wednesday, and to-day her bed room door remaining locked beyond the usual time it was broken open, and she was found dead, having died, it is supposed, from an overdose of chloroform. She is a native of Mississippi, and in her possession were found letters to Ex-Senator Atherton, General Pierce, and others of New Ilamphire. Texas Bonds—From the New York Globe we learn that proceedings have been commenced in the N. York Supreme Court against the Trustees of the Bank of the U. S.; the object being to obtain sale of Texas bonds to a large amount. Tho Court in New' ^ ork ordered the bonds to be sold, unless the trus tees guve security for the payment of certain liens claimed against the bonds. Tho trustees applied to our Court of Common Pleas tor permission to give security, making a deposit of funds. The permis sion was granted on Saturday. The trustees deny the validity of the claims, and the deposit of funds is made with tlie intention of contesting them. Washington, July 27. Important Correspondence—Great liritian and Costa Rica. Tlie National Intelligencer of this mor ning, publishes the correspondence between the late Secretary ,of State and the British Minister, relative to the establishment of protectorates over Yucatan and Costa Jtica The answer of the Baitish Minister states that Mr. Chatlield was unauthorized hy his government to Commemoration of tlie Death ot General Taylor.

We learn froma reliable source, suys the New Or- leans Delta, that the .Spanish soldiers who deserted to General Lopez at Cardenas, and came to this city some weeks ago, and were decoyed awny hy the Spanish Consul under promises of free pardon on their arrival in Cuba, are now detained in close con finement in Havana. Here is another proof of the faith and honor of these Spanish officials. Most of tlie soldiers were a little too smart to he caught in the trap set by the Cousul.for them, and are now fortu- uutely beyond the reach of Alcoy’s vengeance and treachery.

He pointed tho gun at her playfully, not knowing it was loaded. Death of Brigadier General Mason.—Wc learn from the Union that a telegraphic dispatch was received on Saturday by General Jesup, in Washing ton, announcing the death of that distinguished officer Brigadier General (by Brevet) Richard B.

Method of Manufacturing Flax Cotton.— A late London paper states that by completely rob bing the fibre of all its gum, we get immediately u tine downy material like raw cotton, but somewhat stronger. Tho strength of thotlax is a little diminished hy this process, but still the fibre is superior to cotton and it may he passed through all the present cotton machinery in the subsequent processes. This cannot fail to be highly interesting at this moment, when wo are threatened with a scarce, and, consequently, dem and inferior supply of cotton ; and since much ilax stalk, both at homo and in India, is thrown away, the plant being cultivated for tlie seed, it follows we have here prima facie, u much less expensive raw material than cottou.

A good many ladies were among the visi- \ tors. General Baez proceeds l*rom Philadelphia to j New York. Ft. Louis, July 25. From Selkirk Settlement.—We learn by the steam er Anthony Wayne, from St. l’eters, that u train of one hundred, w 1 h carts drawn hy oxen and dogs, from Selkirk settlement, arrived at that point a few days since. Tney came for goods and other neces saries, and brought with them a quantity of furs. They report that Ft. Clair’s train of Californians, who took mi -xtreme northern route, had readied Folk irk settlement, all well, after a quiet passage, They left iu lino spirits. Does Salt J Voter Tcc Contain Salt.and dors it Sink? —These questions nre often asked, and different opiu. ions ar»* often given, but tho facts are, that during the process of congelation the salt is continually oc cupying the surface, and is never cnbuiirled between t lie particles of ice. If a lump of ice he taken f r mn the ocean and its surface washed with fresh water, ii will he found to be fresh throughout the mass. Ice never sinks, unless its weight he increased hy dirt up on its surface. Water lias its mean of size at 10 deg. of Fahrenheit, and freezes at 02 deg ; riurin" the cooling from It) to 02 deg. it swells and consequent ly i« specifically lighter than water, and therefore cannot sink. lithe surface oficp, however, should receive dust, or dirt, or muddy streams should run upon it, and then he Dozen, the dirt hold in suspension tnechaui* rally, is added to the weight of the ice, and thus sinks it, but the sinking usually attributed to ice is fabulous, and when the surfaces of rivers nre cleared of ice iua single night, it arises trom the tact that large quantities of water, heated in the tributary streams durum the day, are running into the river, anil if at a tempera ture above 48°, is specifically lighter than the wafer of the river, or the ice. and hence rapidly melts the ice, er flopting on the surface of colder water below, sutlers thedee to he emersed. In other words,iceaud water at 48° ot heat have precisely the same weight per cubit foot, and when the water is warmer than 48° the icc will sink untill it meets with a stratum of water ol its own weight. Heat always ascends, ami therefore nil heat contain ed in water runninginto rivers will immediately rise an.I come in contact with the lower surface ol the ire ; thus melting it with great rapidity. This fact that water swells both in cooling below 4(1° or being heated above40°, is a wise provision of nature- for It water lost bulk in becoming ice, instead of swelling the ice would be continually sinking, and the whole ocean would become one solid mass of ice; nor could it be melted by the sun’s rays on the surface, a-uhe retractive power of both ice and water is such n« to j prevent the rays of light and heat from entering tna | greater depth than hi feet.—Newark Daily hlrcrthcr VV.
